ABSTRACT
In studies on structure-activity relationships of histamine H2-receptor antagonists, C-2 basically substituted thiazoles were prepared and tested for their H2-antihistaminic activity on the isolated guinea-pig atrium and on the histamine stimulated acid secretion of the anaesthetized rat. As a basic substituent the dimethylaminomethyl group is especially suitable, while cyclic guanidines lead to lower H2-antagonistic activity.

Investigation concerning the respiratory-analeptical effect of partially cyclic and ring methylated nicethamide analogues are reported. The respiration of the rabbit determined by the mask method, served as pharmacological model.

In 19 children of 1-7 years of age hemagglutination inhibiting antibodies were measured before and after vaccination against influenza. Before vaccination the serum titers have been markedly lower than in adults. A single vaccination with Alorbat, a vaccine of representative strains of influenza virus inactivated and adsorbed to aluminumoxide, was followed by the same rise of titer as in adults. Therefore with this vaccine a single vaccination is effective in children, and a booster 4 weeks later, as recommended otherwise, is not necessary.
