Referring to the above formulae (I) and (I'), the alkyl group of 10 to 30 carbon atoms represented by R.sup.1 includes straight-chain and branched-chain alkyl groups such as n-dodecyl, n-tridecyl, n-tetradecyl, 3,7,11-trimethyltetradecyl, n-pentadecyl, n-heptadecyl, n-octadecyl, n-eicosyl, n-henicosyl, n-docosyl, n-tricosyl, n-tetracosyl, n-pentacocyl, n-hexacosyl, n-heptacosyl, n-octacosyl, n-nonacosyl, n-triacontyl, etc. Preferred are C.sub.12-20 alkyl groups.

The alkylcarbamoyl group of 10 to 30 carbon atoms represented by R.sup.1 includes various alkylcarbamoyl groups whose alkyl moieties correspond to the above-mentioned alkyl groups.

The lower alkyl group represented by R.sup.2, R.sup.2', R.sup.3, R.sup.3', R.sup.4', R.sup.5' and R.sup.6' includes, for example, C.sub.1-6 alkyl groups (e.g. methyl, ethyl, propyl, isopropyl, butyl, isobutyl, sec-butyl, tert-butyl, pentyl, hexyl).

There are two stereoisomers respectively of the compounds (I) and (I'), i.e. R-configurated and S-configurated, and this invention encompasses these respective isomers and a mixture thereof.

The glycerol derivatives of the formulae (I) and (I'), and salts thereof exhibit notable hypotensive activities in animals, in particular, in mammals and are useful, for example, as hypotensive drugs for prevention or treatment of hypertension. The compounds (I), (I') and salts thereof are well absorbed even by oral administration and display highly desirable effects at low dose levels so that they are very safe drugs. When they are used as the above-mentioned drugs, they can safely be administered orally or parenterally, per se in a form of pharmaceutical composition. While the dosage level generally varies depending upon the conditions of the diseases to be treated as well as the administration route used, for example, in the treatment of hypertension in adult human, the compounds may be administered orally at a single dose of about 0.02-5 mg/kg, preferably about 0.2-2 mg/kg. This dose is administered preferably about once or three times per day, depending on the conditions of patients.

The pharmaceutical compositions used as hypotensive drugs contain an effective amount of the compounds (I) and (I') or salts thereof as an active ingredient and a pharmaceutically acceptable carrier or excipient therefor. These compositions are made available in various dosage forms suitable for oral or parenteral administration.

Thus, the compositions include solid or liquid forms, specifically in such dosage forms as tablets (inclusive of sugar-coated tablets and film-coated tablets), pills, granules, powders, capsules (inclusive of soft capsules), syrups, emulsions, suspensions, etc. Such compositions can be prepared by the known procedures and contain carriers or excipients which are usually used in pharmaceutical practice. For example, the carrier or excipient for tablets include lactose, starch, sucrose, magnesium stearate, etc.

The compositions for parenteral administration include injections, suppositories, etc. and the preparations of the injections include intravenous or intramuscular injections and the like. Such injections can be prepared by the well-known methods, i.e. by dissolving, suspending or emulsifying the compounds (I) and (I') or salts thereof in a sterile aqueous or oleaginous medium which is conventionally used in the preparation of injections. The aqueous medium for injections include physiological saline solution and isotonic solutions, etc., and if necessary, the medium may be employed together with such suitable solubilizing agents as alcohols (e.g. ethanol), polyalcohols (e.g. propylene glycol, polyethylene glycol), nonionic surfactants [e.g. polysorbate 80, HCO-50 (polyoxyethylene (50 mol) adduct of hydrogenated castor oil)] etc. The oleaginous medium includes sesame oil, soybean oil or the like, and may be employed together with the solubilizing agents such as benzyl benzoate, benzyl alcohol, etc. The prepared injective solutions are generally filled in suitable ampules. The suppositories for rectal administration are prepared by mixing the compounds (I) or (I') or salts thereof with an ordinary suppository base.

The above-mentioned oral or parenteral pharmaceutical compositions are preferably made available in unit dosage forms corresponding to the required dose of the active ingredient. Such unit dosage forms include tablets, pills, capsules, injections (ampules), suppositories, etc. Usually 1 to 50 mg of the compound (I) or (I') is contained in a unit dosage form, preferably 1 to 10 mg in the case of injections and 1 to 25 mg in the case of other dosage forms.

Each of the above-mentioned compositions may further contain other active ingredients unless they do not undergo untoward interactions with the compound (I) or (I').

The invention will be further illustrated in more detail by the following embodiment examples, test examples and dosage form examples, which, however, are by no means limitative of the present invention.

Preparation:

A mixture of ingredients (1), (2) and (3) is wetted with a 10% aqueous solution of the ingredient (4), passed through a 1.5 mm screen, and the granules are dried in vacuo at 40.degree. C. The dry granules were further passed through the screen, mixed with the ingredient (5), and tableted to give 1000 tablets each measuring 7 mm in diameter and containing 10 mg of the ingredient (1).

2. Sugar-coated tablets

The above prepared tablets are coated with a coating composition comprising sucrose, talc and pulverized gum arabic. The coated tablets are polished with beeswax. Weight, per tablet, of the sugar-coated tablets: 250 mg. P 3. Capsules Composition: ______________________________________ (1) 2-(N,N--Dimethylcarbamoyloxy)-3-octadecyloxy- 25 g propyl 2-trimethylammonioethyl phosphate (2) Corn starch                  95 g (3) Talc                         10 g 1000 Capsules                130 g ______________________________________

Preparation:

All the above ingredients are blended and filled into 1000 gelatin capsules to give capsules each containing 25 mg of the ingredient (1).

4. Injections

In 1.0 l of distilled water is dissolved 5 g of 2-(N,N-dimethylcarbamoyloxy)-3-octadecyloxypropyl 2-trimethylammonioethyl phosphate, and after passage through a bacterial filter, the solution is distributed in 1 ml portions into 1000 vials. The solution in the vials are freeze-dried and the vials are sealed.

On the other hand, 2 l of a solution of 100 g of xylitol or mannitol in distilled water for injection is distributed in 2 ml portions into injection ampules which are then sealed to provide 1000 ampules.

In use, one vial equivalent of the former powder is dissolved in the xylitol (or mannitol) solution for injection.

## Claims

1. A method of treatment of hypertension in a mammal, which comprises administering to said mammal an effective antihypertensive amount of a compound of the formula ##STR36## wherein R.sup.1 is alkyl or alkylcarbamoyl containing 10 to 30 carbon atoms, 1-piperazinyl, 1-pyrrolidinyl, 1-azetidinyl or 1-azilidinyl and ##STR37## is a pyridinio, oxazolio, thiazolio, pyridazinio, quinolinio, isoquinolinio, N-methylmorpholinio, morpholinio, N-methylpiperazinio or piperazinio group, each of said groups being unsubstituted or substituted by one C.sub.1-4 alkyl, hydroxy, hydroxyethyl, aminoethyl, amino, imino, carbamoyl or ureido group, or a pharmaceutically acceptable salt thereof.

2. A method for treatment for hypertension in a mammal, which comprises administering to said mammal an effective antihypertensive amount of a compound of the formula ##STR38## wherein R.sup.1 is alkyl or alkylcarbamoyl containing 10 to 30 carbon atoms, piperidino, morpholino, thiomorpholino, 1-piperazinyl, 1-pyrrolidinyl, 1-azetidinyl or 1-azilidinyl and R.sup.4', R.sup.5' and R.sup.6' are independently hydrogen or C.sub.1-6 alkyl,
