The process as shown in Reaction Scheme-I is carried out by subjecting a carboxylic acid [II] and an amine [III] to an amido bond-forming reaction.

In the above process, a compound having an activated carboxyl group may be used instead of the carboxylic acid [II] and further a compound having an activated amino group instead of the amine [III]. The amido bond-forming reaction includes any conventional processes, such as (i) a mixed acid anhydride method, i.e. a process comprising reacting the carboxylic acid [II] with an alkyl halocarboxylate to give a mixed acid anhydride and reacting the mixed acid anhydride with the amine [III]; (ii) an active ester method, i.e. a process comprising converting the carboxylic acid [II] into an active ester, for example, p-nitrophenyl ester, N-hydroxysuccinimide ester, or N-hydroxybenzotriazole ester, and then reacting the active ester with the amine [III]; (iii) a carbodiimide method, i.e. a process comprising condensing the carboxylic acid [II] with the amine [III] in the presence of a dehydrating agent such as dicyclohexylcarbodiimide or carbonyldiimidazole; (iv) a carboxylic acid halide method, i.e. a process comprising reacting a halide compound of the carboxylic acid [II] with the amine [III]; (v) a process comprising converting the carboxylic acid [II] into an acid anhydride compound thereof by using a dehydrating agent such as acetic anhydride and then reacting the resulting acid anhydride with the amine [III]; and (vi) a process comprising converting the carboxylic acid [II] into an ester with a lower alcohol and reacting the resulting ester with the amine [III] under a high pressure and at a high temperature.

The compound of the present invention, Avicel, corn starch and magnesium stearate are mixed, ground and then, compressed into tablets with a punch having a diameter of 10 mm. The tablets thus obtained are coated with the film coating solution consisting of hydroxy-propylmethyl cellulose, polyethylene glycol-6000, castor oil and methanol to obtain film coated tablets.

The compound of the present invention, citric acid, lactose, dipotassium hydrogen phosphate, Pluronic F-68 and sodium lauryl sulfate are mixed and passed through No. 60 screen. The resulting mixture is granulated with an alcoholic solution containing polyvinyl pyrrolidone, Carbowax 1500 and Carbowax 6000. The powdery mixture is made into paste by adding alcohol, if necessary. Corn starch is added to the wet mass and mixing is continued until uniform granules are formed. The wet granules are passed through No. 10 screen, placed in a try and dried in an oven at 100.degree. C. for 12-14 hours. The dried granules are passed through No. 16 screen, mixed with dry sodium lauryl sulfate and dry magnesium stearate and then, compressed into a desired shape.

The core tablets thus obtained are treated with varnish and thereto is spreaded talc in order to prevent absorption of moisture. Subcoating is applied about the resulting tablets. The tablets are again treated enough times with varnish for oral administration. Further, subcoating and smooth layers are applied about the tablets so as to make them round and smooth. Coloring layer is applied so as to be the tablets in desired color. After drying, polishing produces the tablets having homogeneous gloss.

The above parabens, sodium metabisulfite and sodium chloride are dissolved in an about half amount of the distilled water with stirring at 80.degree. C. The resulting solution is cooled to 40.degree. C. and the above compound of the present invention, polyethylene glycol and polyoxyethylene sorbitan monooleate are dissolved in the solution. The remaining distilled water is added to the solution to adjust the volume. The solution is sterilized by filtration with a suitable filter paper to obtain a preparation for injection.

The pharmacological activities of the compouns (I) were tested by a Shay rat pylorus ligation method (cf. H. Shay et al: Gastroenterol., Vol. 5, page 43, 1945) which is the most popular method for testing of gastric juice secretion-inhibiting activity. The test was carried out by using male Wistar rats, weighing about 170 g and fasting for 24 hours.

Test compounds were administered 30 minutes before the pylorus ligation in a dose of 100 mg/kg in subcutaneous route, and the volume, total acidity and/or pepsin activity of the gastric juice were measured 4 hours after the ligation. As a control, a saline solution was administered instead of the test compound. The inhibitory ratio (%) of the test compounds was calculated when the inhibitory activities of the control were counted as zero (0). The results are shown in Table 1.

In the table, the inhibitory ratio (%) was evaluated as follows:

-: less than 10%

+: 10 to less than 50%

++: more than 50%

After male Wistar rats weighing about 170 g was fasted for 24 hours, the rats were restrained in a stress cage and dipped in water bath at 23.degree. C. till chest of the animals. After 7 hours, the rats were killed and the stomach was isolated. Into the isolated stomach 10% formalin (8 ml) was poured and settled. The stomach was cut open at the greater curvature, and the length of each ulcer on the membrane was measured. Sum of the length of all ulcers was shown as ulcer index (UI). The test compound was orally administered to the rats before restraint in a stress cage in the form of 0.5% CMC suspension in a concentration of 1.times.10.sup.-3 mole. As a control, only the solvent (CMC solution) was administered likewise.

The inhibitory ratio (%) of stress ulcer of the test compounds was calculated by the following equation: ##EQU1##

The results are shown in Table 2. In the table, the inhibitory ratio (%) was evaluated as follows:

+: 30 to less than 60%

++: more than 60%.

Male Wistar rats were used. Under anestherization, the abdomen of rats were opened to expose stomach, and then 30% aqueous acetic acid (0.015 ml) was injected below serous membrane which was loacated at boundary area of true gastric gland and pyloric glands and thereafter the abdomen was closed, by which an experimental ulcer was induced.

The test compound was orally administered in the dose as shown in Table 3 in the form of 0.5% CMC suspension or solution twice a day for 12 days after the acetic acid-induced ulcer was produced. As a control, only the solvent (CMC solution) was administered likewise.

After the reproduced mucous membrane was removed around the ulcers, the open area of ulcers was measured with a micrometer, and the sum of ulcer area was shown as ulcer index (UI). The inhibitory ratio (%) of acetic acid-induced ulcer of the test compounds was calculated in the same manner as in Pharmacological Test 2.

The results are shown in Table 3. In the table, the inhibitory ratio (%) was evaluated as follows:

+: 30 to less than 60%

++: more than 60%

After male Wistar rats weighing about 160 g was fasted for 24 hours, indomethacin was subcutaneously administered to the rats in a dose of 20 mg/kg in the form of a suspension in a mixture of 0.5% CMC and a small amount of Tween 80 (i.e. polyoxyethylene sorbitan monooleate). After 5 hours, the rats were killed and the stomach was isolated. Into the isolated stomach 10% formalin (8 ml) was poured and settled. The stomach was cut open at the greater curvature, and the length of each ulcer on the membrane was measured, based on which results the inhibitory ratio of the indomethacin-induced ulcer of the test compounds was calculated in the same manner as in Pharmacological Test 2. The test compound was orally administered to the rats in a concentration of 3.times.10.sup.-4 mole in the form of 0.5% CMC suspension 30 minutes before the administration of indomethacin.

The results are shown in Table 4. In the table, the inhibitory ratio (%) was evaluated as follows:

+: 30 to less than 60%

++: more than 60%.

The test compounds were orally administered to male Wistar rats, and the half lethal dose (LD.sub.50) was measured. The results are shown in Table 5.
