Notes:
The crystal structure of the title compound, C11H16N4O2S·H2O, a pancreatic B-cell selective KATP channel opener, reveals that that the N-alkylsulfonylguanidine moiety of the drug containing the two guanidine NH groups in the same spatial orientation (in parallel) is closely related to the N-alkylcyanoguanidine moiety of pinacidil in the solid state. The results confirm that the title drug may be considered as a hybrid compound between pinacidil and diazoxide. The crystal packing involves four hydrogen bonds which link the drug and water molecules.
