Among a series of twenty-four 2-substituted diaminotriazines, several (propoxy, isopropoxy, isobutoxy, sec.-butoxy and cyclohexoxy) were found to be four times as efficacious as aminophylline in preventing experimental asthma induced in guinea pigs with atomized histamine. These triazine ethers are less potent than phenolic ethers and benzhydryl ethers with respect to anti-histamine action as tested on bronchiolar smooth muscle. The ratio of LD-50 in mice to minimal effective dose in guinea pigs was 25 to 40 for alkyloxydiaminotriazines, as compared with only 5 for aminophylline.
Alkyloxytriazines prevented spasm of guinea pig intestinal muscle which ordinarily follows addition of histamine, barium, or acetylcholine to the muscle bath. The anti-histamine action of three triazines tested on intestinal tissue was two to ten times that of aminophylline. These compounds are not specific histamine antagonists for the spasmogenic effects of barium and acetylcholine were also antagonized by dilutions of drug comparable to those effective against histamine.
