Chemical process
Process for preparing heterocyclicalkylthioalkyl-N-cyanoguanidines and thioureas by treating a heterocyclicalkyl derivative with a mercaptoalkyl-N-cyanoguanidine or thiourea. Two specific products are N-cyano-N'-methyl-N"-[2-((5-methyl-4-imidazolyl)methylthio)ethyl]guanidine and N-methyl-N'-[2-((5-methyl-4-imidazolyl)methylthio)ethyl]thiourea, both useful as histamine H.sub.2 -antagonists.
