The previous paper reported on the synthesis and pharmacological evaluation of N-(6-amino-3-pyridyl)-N'-bicycloalkyl-N"-cyanoguanidine derivatives, from among which three compounds were selected as potent potassium-channel openers. In the present study, selected compounds were tested for antagonism of potassium-induced contraction of rat aorta, hypotensive activity in normotensive rats, and diuretic activity in spontaneously hypertensive rats. This led to further evaluation of compound (+/-)-10 and selection of (+)-N-(6-amino-3-pyridyl)-N'-hept-2-yl>-N"-cyanoguanidine ((+)-10) (AL0670) for development as an antihypertensive agent. Although AL0670 is regarded as a pinacidil-type K+-channel opener, it showed different pharmacological and conformational profiles from pinacidil.
