A series of 2-[(arylalkyl)guanidino]-4-[(5-acetamidomethyl)furan-2-yl]thiazole s and some 4-acetamidomethyl positional isomers were synthesized and evaluated for antimicrobial activity against Helicobacter pylori. Among the compounds that had potent antimicrobial activity (MIC < 0. 1 microgram/mL), compounds 31 and 36 additionally possessed H2 antagonist and gastric antisecretory activities. Though compound 51, an analogue incorporating a methyl group onto the furan nucleus of 36, and compound 54, a positional isomer of 51, also showed potent anti-H. pylori activity, the H2 antagonism profile was eliminated from these compounds. Thus, two types of potent anti-H. pylori agents could be derived from the same scaffold.
