title: New biphenyl derivatives i: 1-(4-biphenylyl)-2-phenylethylamines as potential antispasmodic and cardiovascular agents.
abstract: A series of 1-(4-biphenylyl)-2-phenylethylamine derivatives was synthesized as potential antispasmodic and cardiovascular agents related to papaverine. Preliminary pharmacological tests, on isolated guinea pig ileum and anesthetized cat blood pressure, showed that the new compounds possess nonspecific inhibitory action on smooth muscles.
