Amidine compounds of the formula ##STR1## and pharmaceutically acceptable acid addition salts thereof are novel compounds and are useful as powerful anti-trypsin, anti-plasmin, anti-kallikrein and anti-thrombin agents. They are also useful as a powerful anti-complement agent.

Novel amidine compound

Amidino compounds represented by the formula ##STR1## and pharmaceutically acceptable acid addition salts thereof are novel compounds and are useful as powerful anti-trypsine, anti-plasmin, anti-kallikrein and anti-thrombin agents. Having strong anti-Cl (Clr, Cls) activities and an anticomplement activity, they are also useful as anticomplement agents. These amidino compounds are prepared by usual esterification of carboxylic acid compounds represented by the formula (II)

Amidine derivatives with anti-complement activity

Amidine compound and anticomplement agent comprising same

Amino- or guanidino-1,2,3,4-tetrahydro-1-naphthoic esters represented by the formula, ##STR1## wherein R.sub.1 is --NH.sub.2 or ##STR2## R.sub.3 is --H, --R.sub.4, --O--R.sub.4, --NHCOCH.sub.3, a halogen, --CN, ##STR3## --COOH, --COOR.sub.4, ##STR4## or --(CH.sub.2).sub.n --COOCH.sub.2 --CO--R.sub.5 ; R.sub.5 is --O--R.sub.4, --NH.sub.2 or ##STR5## n is 0, 1 or 2, and R.sub.4 is a lower alkyl, or pharmaceutically acceptable acid addition salts thereof. Owing to their inhibitory activity on proteolytic enzymes the said esters and acid addition salts thereof are useful in the therapy of diseases caused by such enzymes.

Amino- or guanidino-1,2,3,4-tetrahydro-1-naphthoic esters

Amino- or guanidino-phenylpropionic ester derivatives represented by the formula: ##STR1## wherein R is --NH.sub.2 or ##STR2## R.sup.1 is hydrogen or a lower alkyl group, and R.sup.2 is an unsubstituted or a lower-alkyl-, carboxyalkyl-, lower-alkoxy-, lower-alkoxycarbonyl- or halogen-substituted phenyl group or an unsubstituted or a halogen-substituted naphthyl group, and acid addition salts thereof are novel compounds exhibiting a specific enzyme-inhibitory activity to proteolytic enzymes and, therefore, they are useful as the therapeutic agent of diseases induced by abnormal activation of these enzymes. The above-mentioned compounds can be produced by subjecting a nitrocinnamic acid derivative represented by the formula: ##STR3## and a phenol derivative or a naphthol derivative represented by the formula:
