For example, the following compounds:

Determining the positive inotropic effect on pithed guinea pigs
The tests were carried out on pithed guinea pigs. The animals were respirated with 50% 0.sub.2 +50% N.sub.2. The arterial blood pressure was measured in the right carotid artery using a Bell and Howell pressure transducer (4-327-I). To determine the positive inotropic effect, the pressure in the left ventricle (LV) was measured with a catheter-tip manometer (Millar PR-249). The LV-dp/dtmax was obtained using a differentiator. The substances being tested were injected into a jugular vein. 0.9% NaCl+polydiol 200 (1:1) was used as solvent.
Each substance was tested on 3 guinea pigs. The doses were 0.1-3 mg/kg i.v. The following Table contains the average values at 1 mg/kg i.v.
The new compounds are well tolerated; when substances A to F were tested up to a dosage of 3 mg/kg i.v. no toxic effects on the heart or circulatory damage of any kind could be detected.
In view of their biological properties, the compounds of general formula I prepared according to the invention and the physiologically acceptable acid addition salts thereof are suitable for treating cardiac insufficiency of various origins since they increase the contractile force of the heart and partly by reducing blood pressure they facilitate the emptying of the heart.
For this purpose, the new compounds and the physiologically acceptable acid addition salts thereof, optionally together with other active substances, may be incorporated in conventional pharmaceutical preparations such as plain or coated tablets, powders, suppositories, suspensions, ampoules or drops. The single dosage is from 0.1-15 mg/kg of body weight, preferably from 3-10 mg/kg of body weight, 1-4 times a day.
