METHOD OF PRODUCING PYRROLOBENZIMIDAZOLS OR THEIR TAUTOMERS, OR THEIR PHYSIOLOGICALLY COMPATIBLE SALTS OF INORGANIC ACIDS

摘要

The present invention provided pyrrolobenzimidazoles or tautomer thereof, of the general formula: IMAGE (I) wherein R1 is hydrogen, C1-C6 alkyl, C2-C6 alkenyl or C3-C7 cycloalkyl; R2 is hydrogen, cyano, C1-C6 alkyl, C2-C6 alkenyl, or a carbonyl group substituted by hydroxyl, C1-C6 alkyl, C1-C6 alkyoxy, amino, C1-C6 alkylamino, C2-C12 dialkylamino or hydrazino, or R2 and R1 together with the carbon to which they are attached form a C3-C8 spirocycloalkyl ring, or R1 and R2 together form C3-C7 alkylidene or C3-C7 cycloalkylkidene, X is a valency bond, C1-C4 alkylene or vinylene and T is oxygen or sulphur; and Het is furanyl, thienyl, pyrrolyl, pyrazolyl, imidazolyl, oxazolyl, thiazolyl, triazolyl, oxadiazolyl, thiadiazolyl, pyrazinyl, pyrimidinyl or pyridazinyl wherein the heterocyclic five- and six-membered rings are unsubstituted or substituted by one or more C1-C6 alkyl, C1-C6 alkoxy, C1-C6 alkylthio, hydroxyl, oxo, nitro, amino, halo, carboxyl, C2-C7 alkoxycarbonyl, aminocarbonyl or cyano groups; or a physiologically acceptable salt thereof with an inorganic or organic acid. These compounds are useful for treating heart or circulatory diseases, especially those which respond to a change of blood pressure, an increase in cardiac output and/or a change in micro-circulation.
