SAR study of the biphenyl region of 2,3-diaminopyridine bradykinin B1 antagonists was investigated with non-aromatic carbo- and heterocyclic rings. A piperidine ring was found to be a good replacement for the proximal phenyl ring while replacement of the distal phenyl was optimal with a cyclohexyl group leading to a dramatic improvement in affinity for the B1 receptor.
