FOERFARANDE FOER FRAMSTAELLNING AV HETEROARYLOXIPROPANOLAMINER AVSEDDA TILL ANVAENDNING VID BEHANDLING OCH FOEREBYGGANDE AV HJAERT- OCH BLODOMLOPPSSJUKDOMAR.

摘要

The present invention provides heteroaryloxypropanolamines and pharmaceutical compositions containing them, for combating, and for the prophylaxis of, cardiac and circulatory diseases. The heteroaryloxypropanolamines of the present invention are of the general formula: IMAGE wherein A is a bi- or tricyclic heteroaromatic radical, which is optionally partly hydrogenated, X is a straight-chained or branched alkylene chain containing 2 to 6 carbon atoms, R1 and R2, which can be the same or different, are hydrogen atoms or lower alkyl or benzyl radicals, R3, R4 and R5, which can be the same or different, are hydrogen atoms or lower alkyl, benzyl, formyl, lower alkanoyl, cyano, hydroxymethyl, lower alkoxycarbonyl or carbamoyl radicals or the divalent substituents sulfur or oxygen and R6, R7 and R8, which can be the same or different, are hydrogen or halogen atoms, lower alkyl, nitro, amino, lower alkylthio or lower alkoxy radicals or R6 and R7 together represent an optionally unsaturated trimethylene chain; and the pharmacologically acceptable salts thereof. The present invention also provides processes for the preparation of these compounds, as well as pharmaceutical compositions containing them.
