C. The diazonium salt required is appropriately prepared in a suitable solvent, e.g., in water/hydrochloric acid, methanol/hydrochloric acid, ethanol/hydrochloric acid, or dioxane/hydrochloric acid, by diazotizing a corresponding amino compound with a nitrite, e.g., sodium nitrite or an ester of nitrous acid, at low temperatures, e.g., at temperatures of from about -10.degree. to 5.degree. C.
The subsequent dehydration is carried out with a dehydrating agent such as phosphorus pentoxide, sulfuric acid, or p-toluenesulfonic acid chloride, optionally in a solvent such as methylene chloride, or pyridine at temperatures of from about 0.degree. to 100.degree. C., preferably at temperatures of from about 20.degree. to 80.degree. C.
Moreover, the compounds of Formula I obtained may, if desired, be converted into their pharmacologically acceptable acid addition salts with inorganic or organic acids. Suitable acids include, for example, hydrochloric, hydrobromic, sulfuric, phosphoric, fumaric, succinic, tartaric, citric, lactic, maleic, and methanesulfonic acid.
The compounds of Formulae II to XII used as starting materials are known from the literature in some cases or may be obtained using methods known from the literature.
Thus, for example, the compounds of Formula II used as starting materials are obtained by acylating a corresponding o-diamino compound, and the compounds of Formulae III, IV, VI, VII, and X to XII are obtained by subsequent condensation with a corresponding benzoic acid derivative and optionally subsequent oxidation (see, European patent application No. 0,022,495).
As already mentioned hereinbefore, the novel compounds of Formula I, the 1H tautomers thereof, and the pharmacologically acceptable acid addition salts thereof have superior pharmacological properties, particularly in terms of their duration of activity, a positive inotropic activity and/or an effect on blood pressure. To demonstrate these properties, the compounds
A=2-(2-Methoxy-4-methylsulfonyl-phenyl)-4H-imidazo[4,5-b]pyridin-5-one,
B=2-(2-Methoxy-4-methylmercapto-phenyl)-5H-imidazo[4,5-d]pyridazin-4-one, and
C=8-(2-Methoxy-4-methylmercapto-phenyl)-purin-2-one
were tested for their biological properties as follows:
Determining the effect on blood pressure and the positive inotropic effect in the anaesthetised cat
The tests were carried out on cats anaesthetised with sodium pentobarbital (40 mg/kg i.p.). The animals breathed spontaneously. The arterial blood pressure was measured in the aorta abdominalis with a Statham pressure transducer (P 23 Dc). To determine the positive inotropic activity, the pressure in the left ventricle was measured with a catheter-tip manometer (Millar PC-350 A). From this the contractility parameter dp/dt.sub.max was determined using an analogue differentiator. The test substances were injected into a vena fermoralis. The solvent used was physiological saline solution or Polydiol 200. Each substance was tested on at least 3 cats, dosage 2 mg/kg i.v.
The results are set forth in the following table:
The new compounds are well tolerated, and no toxic effects on the heart or damage to the circulation of any kind could be detected in the tests on compounds A to C.
In view of their pharmacological properties, the compounds of Formula I according to the invention and the pharmacologically acceptable acid addition salts thereof are suitable for the treatment of cardiac insufficiency of various origins since they increase the contractile force of the heart and partly by lowering blood pressure they facilitate the emptying of the heart. For this purpose the novel compounds of Formula I and the pharmacologically acceptable acid addition salts thereof, optionally in combination with other active ingredients, preferably substances which additionally guard against infection by microbes, such as sulfonamides, or antibiotics, e.g., tetracycline, doxycycline, ampicillin, amoxycillin, cephalexin, or erythromycin, may be administered to warm-blooded hosts perorally, parenterally, or rectally as active ingredients in customary preparation forms suitable for the intended purposes, that is, compositions consisting essentially of one or more inert conventional carriers and/or diluents, e.g., corn starch, lactose, glucose, microcrystalline cellulose, magnesium stearate, polyvinyl pyrrolidone, citric acid, tartaric acid, water, water/ethanol, water/glycerol, water/sorbitol, water/polyethylene, glycol, propylene glycol, carboxymethylcellulose, or fatty substances such as hard fat, or suitable mixtures thereof, and an effective amount of the active ingredient, such as tablets, coated tablets, capsules, powders, suppositories, syrups, solutions, suspensions, emulsions, ampules, and drops. Advantageously the active ingredient or a mixture of different active ingredients may be administered orally to both humans or animals, in a single dose of from about 23 to 165 mg (0.3 to 2.2 mg/kg of body weight), preferably from about 50 to 113 mg (0.7 to 1.5 mg/kg of body weight), 1 to 4 times a day. A daily dose is therefore from about 23 to 660 mg (from about 0.3 to 8.8 mg/kg of body weight), preferably from about 113 to 450 mg (from about 0.7 to 6.0 mg/kg of body weight). Dependent upon the type and severity of the affliction, upon the type of perparation, upon the route of administration, as well as upon the period or interval over which the administration takes place, it may, however, be necessary to deviate from the above dosages. Thus, it may be sufficient in some cases to administer more or less than the above-mentioned amounts of active ingredient. The optimum dosage and route of administration of active ingredient necessary in each case can easily be determined by one skilled in the art.
The following examples are intended to illustrate the invention and should not be construed as limiting the invention thereto.
