## Abstract

The invention relates to pyrimidinone derivatives and the pharmaceutically acceptable salts thereof having remarkable antagonistic action against angiotensin II receptor, and thus useful in treating cardiovascular diseases caused by angiotensin II.

## Background
This application is a 371 of PCT/KR95/00121 filed Sep. 25, 1995.

This invention relates to novel pyrimidinone derivatives and the pharmaceutically acceptable salts thereof. This invention also relates to process for preparing of the novel pyrimidinone derivatives and pharmaceutical composition containing the pyrimidinone derivatives.

The compounds of this invention and the pharmaceutically acceptable salts thereof are useful as angiotensin II antagonists especially, in treatment of various cardiovascular diseases caused by angiotensin II.

Renin-angiotensin system plays a central role in the regulation of blood pressure in human body. Angiotensin II, consisting of eight amino acids, is produced during the cleavage of angiotensin I by angiotensin converting enzyme(ACE) localized on the arterial blood vessels of lung, etc., and then involved in hypertension development. Angiotensin II, the final product of Renin-angiotensin system, exerts its action to elevate blood pressure and increase electrolyte concentration by interacting with specific receptors present in blood vessel, smooth muscle, kidney or adrenal gland. Thus, as a way of controlling hypertension several antagonistic compounds have been explored to inhibit the effect of angiotensin II by blocking its receptors.

Peptide antagonists analogous to angiotensin II are known, but their clinical applications have been limited because of their short half-life, extensive inactivation after oral administration and above all the partial agonistic activity.

Recently, several non-peptide compounds have been reported as angiotensin II antagonists. European Patent Application Laying-Open Publication Nos. 028,834 and 253310 disclose Imidazole derivatives substituted by biphenyl (for example, Losartan) and European Patent Application Laying-Open Publication No. 245,637, imidazopyridine derivatives (for example, L158,809) as potent angiotensin II antagonists.

In European Patent Application Laying-Open Publication Nos. 407,342, 419,048 and 445,811, pyrimidinone compounds similar to the compounds of this invention in their 6 membered heterocyclic ring structure are disclosed inclusively as a general formula without illustrative enough to support it. Further, the compounds described therein show relatively low activities(10.sup.-6 mol for 60.about.70% inhibition in in vitro blood vessel dilation study) than imidazole derivatives known in the above mentioned application.

In search of novel pyrimidinone compounds having at least 100 times more enhanced activities than the pyrimidinones disclosed in the prior art, the inventors of this invention have manufactured extensive pyrimidinones substituted by variety of functional groups and then investigated their angiotensin II antagonist activity.

The object of the invention, therefore, is to provide with novel pyrimidinone derivatives and the pharmaceutically acceptable salts thereof which inhibit the action of angiotensin II effectively.

Other object of the invention is to provide with process for preparing novel pyrimidinone derivatives and the pharmaceutically acceptable salts thereof which inhibit the action of angiotensin II effectively.

Another object of the invention is to provide with a pharmaceutical composition for treating hypertension including the novel pyrimidinone derivatives and the pharmaceutically acceptable salts thereof which inhibit the action of angiotensin II effectively.

The antagonistic activity of the representative compounds of the invention was evaluated using the methodology describe below. The results are shown in Table 1.

From New Zealand White rabbits (male or female, 2.about.2.5 kg), aorta was isolated, and fat and connected tissue were removed therefrom. The aorta was cut into 3.about.4 mm to form ring samples. The aorta sample was suspended in 20 ml of organ bath (37.degree. C.) containing modified Krebs-Henseleit solution saturated with 95% O.sub.2 /5% CO.sub.2 (pH 7.4).

The aorta preparation was exposed consecutively to 2 g of tensile strength for 90 minutes intermittently washing the sample with 30 minutes interval and then to 30 mM of KCl to observe contraction response. After washing more than three times, the aorta preparation was again allowed to contract three times for stabilization by adding Angiotensin II (10 mM) thereto with 30 minutes interval. The third contraction response to Angiotensin II was considered as control.

10 minutes after the third contraction, the test compound was administered to the aorta preparation, which was incubated for 20 minutes.

Comparing angiotensin II contraction curve obtained from the above inhibition test with that of the control, IC.sub.50 (concentration being required to inhibit angiotensin II induced contraction by 50%) was determined for each test compound(Table 1). ______________________________________ Compound No.          IC.sub.50 (nM) ______________________________________ Compound 1            9.05 Compound 2            14.2 Compound 3            22.3 Compound 4            15.1 Compound 5            30.7 Compound 6            22.7 Compound 7            2.84 Compound 8            73.6 Compound 9            4.35 Compound 10           37.1 Compound 11           7.71 Compound 12           5.59 Compound 13           4.99 Compound 14           7.39 Compound 15           19.4 Compound 16           174 Compound 17           4.63 Compound 18           93.3 Compound 19           2.63 Compound 20           8.53 Compound 21           2.63 Compound 22           2.37 Compound 23           3.50 Compound 24           169 Compound 25           9.43 Compound 26           42.8 Compound 27           30.8 Compound 28           92.3 Compound 29           17.0 Compound 30           7.26 Compound 31           17.0 Compound 32           2.95 Compound 33           11.2 Compound 34           4.17 Compound 35           62.0 Compound 36           44.5 Compound 37           115 Compound 38           335 Compound 39           36.1 Compound 40           2.74 Compound 41           119 Compound 42           2.06 Compound 43           2.08 Compound 44           2.04 Compound 45           2.46 Compound 46           405 Compound 47           128 Compound 48           >10.sup.-5 (M) Compound 49           8.96 Compound 50           28.4 Compound 51           5.99 Compound 52           3.56 Compound 53           6.24 Compound 54           2.20 Compound 55           3.64 Compound 56           3.33 Compound 57           3.60 Compound 58           5.86 Compound 59           3.36 Compound 60           2.88 Compound 61           7.85 Compound 62           9.62 Compound 63           302 Compound 64           >10.sup.-5 (M) Compound 65           7.60 Compound 66           9.70 Compound 67           30.4 Compound 68           2.29 Compound 69           10.7 Compound 70           11.6 Compound 71           16.8 Compound 72           9.13 Compound 73           1.75 Compound 74           1.03 Compound 75           2.76 Compound 76           3.59 Compound 77           2.17 Compound 78           5.22 Compound 79           13.1 Compound 80           4.06 Compound 81           9.87 Compound 82           53.0 Compound 83           151 ______________________________________
