The synthesis of some geometrical isomers related to triprolidine is reported. Previous configurational assignments, by UV and proton NMR, are validated by high field nuclear. Overhauser enhancement methods and the isomeric purity of tested E- and Z-isomers was greater than 99.5% as assessed by an HPLC method developed for these compounds. Affinity constants for triprolidine (E and Z) in guinea-pig ileum showed a potency ratio of ~ 600 whereas at cerebellar sites this ratio was only ~100, suggesting that the H1 receptor in these two tissues may not be identical. In-vivo tests using a lethal dose of compound 48/80 (a potent histamine-releasing agent) demonstrated that triprolidine itself was the most active compound to protect the animal among all the isomeric compounds tested: in all isomeric pairs the E-configuration possessed superior activity over Z. The disposition of the aryl groups in these geometrically constrained compounds mimics that seen in the structurally related chiral pheniramines which are sp3 hybridized and whose absolute stereochemistry is known.
