BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION
The compounds of this invention are novel benzothiazoline derivatives wherein the substituent at 3-position on the benzothiazoline ring is lower alkanoyl and that at 2-position is phenyl which is resubstituted by ether group at any position. 2-Phenylbenzothiazoline derivatives were reported by H. Breuer et al. (U.S. Pat. No. 3,720,683), H. D. Cossey et al. (J. Chem. Soc., 1965, 954) and P. J. Palmer et al. (J. Med. Chem., 14, 248). The U.S. Pat. of Breuer et al. relates to 2-phenylbenzothiazoline derivatives in which phenyl nucleus is substituted by alkyl, etc. but not ether group, and the pharmacological effects are for anti-inflammatory and anti-microbiral.

Pharmacological Activities
Calcium antagonists have not only potentially beneficial effects in the treatment of many diseases but also serve as valuable research tools to elucidate excitation-contraction coupling in various muscle types (A. Fleckenstein, Ann. Rev. Pharmacol., 17, 149-166, 1977). Therefore, we examined the calcium-antagonistic activity of the compounds of this invention.
Pharmacological test I
The action potentials on the smooth muscles of uterus, teania coli and portal vein are dependent on calcium ion, and therefor these smooth muscle preparations are useful for screening of calcium antagonists. We measured the calcium-antagonistic activity of the compounds by the method using guinea-pig teania coli preparation.
Isolated guinea-pig teania coli was suspended in a 20 ml organ bath with Krebs solution at 32.degree. C. and bubbled with 5% carbon dioxide in oxygen. After equilibration, the muscle was washed with Ca.sup.++ -free Krebs solution, and when the muscle had relaxed to basal level, it was suspended in Ca.sup.++ -free-high-K Krebs solution.
The muscle was exposed to test compounds for 5 minutes before addition of CaCl.sub.2, and the contraction evoked by CaCl.sub.2 (3.times.10.sup.-4 M) was recorded isotonically. The calcium-antagonistic activity was represented by the concentration of test compound which elicited 50% inhibition of Ca.sup.++ -evoked contraction (IC.sub.50).
As shown in Table XI, the compounds of this invention had calcium-antagonistic activity.
Blood platelet plays an important role only in hemostasis but also in thrombosis. Platelet hyperaggregability leads to an inclease in the number of circulating platelet aggregates, which may contribute toward the development of cardiac arrythmias, cardiac arrest or myocardial infarction. These cardiovascular diseases can be prevented by inhibition of platelet aggregation. Therefor, we screened the influence of test compounds on platelet aggragation in vitro, and found that they have anti-aggregatory activity.
Pharmacological test II
Blood was obtained from an anesthetized rabbit using 0.1 volumes of 3.8% sodium citrate as anticoagulant. Platelet rich plasma (PRP) was isolated by centrifugation at 650 rpm for 10 minutes at room temperature. After preincubation of PRP (0.25 ml) with various concentrations of test compounds (14 .mu.l) for 1 minute at 37.degree. C., collagen (3 .mu.g/ml: final concentration) or ADP (3 .mu.M: final concentration) was added to induce aggregation and the aggregation profiles were monitored with RIKADENKI six-channel aggregometer. The control experiment contained saline instead of test compound.
The anti-aggregatory activity was represented by the concentration of test compound which elicited 50% inhibition of control response.
As shown in the Table XII, the compounds of this invention had anti-aggregatory activity.
Toxicity test
Acute toxicity of the compounds of this invention is shown in Table XIII. (animal)
Male ddy-SLC strain rats (4 weeks of age, weighing 19-21 g) were placed in a breeding room of constant temperature and huminity (23.+-.1.degree. C., 55.+-.5%) and fed freely pellet diet and water ad. libitum for a week. Rats showing normal growth were selected for the test. (method of administration)
Test compounds are suspended in 0.5% tragacanth suspention and administered orally in a dose of 0.5 ml/20 g body weight.
The compounds can be administered either orally or parenterally. The dosage forms are tablet, capsule, granule, powder, suppository, injection, etc. The dose is adjusted depending on symptom, dosage form, etc., but usual daily dosage is 1 to 5,000 mg, preferably 10 to 1,000 mg, in one or a few divided doses.
Examples of formulation are shown below.
The tablets may be treated with the common film-coating and further with sugar-coating.
