Summary:Previous results of histamine H-3-receptors investigations allowed to formulate a general structure of H-3-receptor antagonists. According to this model a series of compounds were obtained. As heterocycles they contained a theophylline moiety connected with a polar group (amine, ester, amide, and thiourea function) via an alkyl chain linked by a spacer to a lipophilic residue. The common distance between xanthine moiety and lipophilic rest was a six-link-chain. Selected compounds did not show significant H-3-receptor antagonist activity and were weak antagonists at histamine H-1-receptors.
