## Background
It is known that certain dihydropyridine derivatives have a Ca.sup.2+ -antagonistic action, and are highly useful for treatment of various cardiovascular disorders such as angina pectoris, myocardial infarction, hypertension and cardiac arrythmia. It is further known that beta-adrenoceptor blocking agents are also useful for the treatment of such cardiovascular disorders.

However, the mechanism of actions of dihydropyridine derivatives is entirely different from that of beta-adrenocaptor blocking agents. That is, beta-adrenoceptor blocking agents reduce heart rate, cardiac output, stroke volume, cardiac work and myocardial oxygen demand whereas, Ca.sup.2+ -antagonists improve left ventricular function due to their coronary vasodilating and systemic vasodilating effect (reduction in afterload) and also inhibit coronary vasospasm.

Recently it has been reported that a combined administration of a Ca.sup.2+ -antagonist and a beta-blocker can achieve maximal symptomatic improvement in clinical angina pectoris. [Bassan, M., Wiler-Ravell, D. and Shalev, O.; Additive antianginal effect of verapamil in patients receiving propranolol; Br. Med. J., 284, 1067 (1982)]. Further it has been reported that a combined administration of such two kinds of drug can be recommended for the treatment of hypertension, since the side effects of either drug are almost abolished or inhibited by the combination administration of both drugs. That is, beta-blocker inhibits a Ca.sup.2+ -antagonist-induced reflex increase of heart rate; and beta-blocker completely inhibit a Ca.sup.2+ -antagonist-induced increase of plasma renin activity. [Aoki, A., Kondo, S., Mochizuki, A., et al; Antihypertensive effect of Cardiovascular Ca.sup.2+ -antagonist in hypertensive patients in the absence and presence of beta-adrenergic blockade; Am. Heart J., 96, 218 (1978)]

Thus, it would be expected that a compound having both Ca.sup.2+ -antagonistic and beta-blocking activities are of interest in the management of ischemic heart-diseases and hypertension.

However, any compound having such both actions is not known until now. That is, it has never been reported that a compound having both Ca.sup.2+ -antagonistic and beta-blocking activities has been synthesized. Thus the purpose of this invention is to provide novel compounds which have both the actions (namely, Ca.sup.2+ -antagonistic activity and adrenergic beta-receptor blocking activity) and the production methods for the compounds.

Examples of such salts are, for example, salts of inorganic acids such as hydrochloric acid, hydrobromic acid, hydroiodic acid, sulfuric acid, nitric acid, phosphoric acid, hydroiodic acid, sulfuric acid, nitric acid, phosphoric acid; and salts of organic acids such as formic acid, acetic acid, oxalic acid, ctric acid, succinic acid, fumaric acid, maleic acid, tartaric acid, methanesulfonic acid, ethanesulfonic acid, etc.

The compounds of this invention include compounds having asymmetric carbon atoms(s); and in case of such compounds, there are optical isomers. Thus this invention includes all of the isomers such as racemic compound, optically active isomer, diastereoisomer, etc.

The compounds of this invention can be produced by various processes; typical production processes are explained hereinafter: ##STR10##

In the above formulas, A, R.sup.1, R.sup.2, R.sup.3, R.sup.4, R.sup.5, R.sup.6, R.sup.7, R.sup.8, R.sup.9, and n are as defined above; X represents a halogen atom, R.sup.2 a represents a hydrogen atom, ##STR11## wherein R.sup.7 is as defined above, B represents an amino group or a protected amino group; and R.sup.2.sub.a represent a potassium atom when B represents a phthalimid group ##STR12## as protected amino.

Compounds (I) can thus be produced by reacting dihydropyridine derivative (II) [which have halogenoalkyl (or halogenoalkoxyalkyl) ester group as the substituent at 5-position of the dihydropyridine ring] with amine compound or amine derivative (III) and the, if necessary (that is, when B is a protective amino group), releasing the protective group.

Practical examples of "halogen" for X are chlorine, bromine, iodine; and practical examples of the protective group for an amino group are a toluenesulfonyl group, an acetyl group, a phenacylsulfonyl group, a trifluoromethanesulfonyl group, a bis-benzenesulfonyl group; further, potassium phthalimide is included in the compound R.sup.2 a-B having a protected amino group. That is, Gabriel amine synthesis via phthalimide compound using potassium phthalimide can be applied for producing the compound (I).

One of the above reactions is alkylation with compound (II). In case of reacting ammonia as the compound (III) to produce an primary amine as the compound (I), there may be occur some side-reactions such as, particularly, polyalkylamine formation or amidation reaction; in such case, it is preferred to adopt the amino-protected compound (III) in order to produce the desired compound (I) selectively. In case of reacting this compound (III) other than ammonia, it is not always necessary to adopt the amino-protected compound (III). By adopting suitable reaction conditions, amino-protection is not needed.

The reaction can be performed in the presence or absence of a solvent. It is preferred to perform the reaction in a solvent. Any solvents which do not take part in the reaction can be used. Examples of the solvent usually used are organic solvent such as benzene, toluene, xylene, dimethylformamide, dichloromethane, dichloroethan, methanol, ethanol. In case of adopting phthalimide compound as the compound (III) [that is, in case of Gabriel method], dimethylformamide or xylene is usually used; particularly, in case of using dimethylformamide, the reaction can performed under considerably mild reaction conditions. The above solvents may be used along or in appropriate combination.

It is preferred that the reaction is performed by reacting the compound (II) with an equimolar or excessive molar amount of the compound (III).

According to the kind of reaction, it may be preferred for smooth reaction to operate in the presence of a base. Examples of such a base are organic bases such as pyridine, picoline, N,N-dimethylaniline, N-methylmorpholine, dimethylamine (that is, secondary or tertiary amines); and inorganic bases such as sodium carbonate, potassium hydrogencarbonate. It may be preferred for smooth reaction to operate by using the increased amount of the compound (III). Thus, various operation conditions may be adopted.

The reaction is usually performed at room temperature or under heating, or under reflux at heating.

When using protected amine compound as the compound (III), after hydrolysis reaction in conventional manner, the aimed compound (I) can be produced. The hydrolysis is performed by acid- or alkali-hydrolysis, and Ing-Manske hydrolysis using hydrazine. Among them, Ing-Manske hydrolysis is preferred. (That is, hydrazine hydrolysis is more advantageous than acid- or alkali-hydrolysis.)

Starting materials (that is, the compounds (II)) can be easily available since the compounds can be easily prepared by the methods described in U.S. Pat. No. 3,985,758 (applicants: some of the inventors of this application). That is, the starting materials can be synthesized by Hantzsch synthesis method or the modified method thereof. ##STR13## wherein Z represents a organic sulfonic acid radical; R.sub.2 b represents a hydrogen atom, ##STR14##

Compounds (I) can thus be prepared by reacting organic sulfonate compound (IV) with amine compound (V).

In this case, examples of organic sulfonic acid radical are alkanesulfonic acid radical (alkylsulfonyl group) such as methanesulfonic acid radical (metahensulfonyl), ethanesulfonic acid radical (ethanesulfonyl); and aromatic sulfonic acid radical such as toluenesulfonyl acid radical (toluenesulfonyl), benzenesulfonic acid radical (benzenesulfonyl), etc. An equimolar or excess molar amount of the compound (V) is preferably reacted with the compound (IV). The reaction is usually performed at room temperature or under cooling. The reaction is usually performed in a solvent which do not take part in the reaction, and the examples of the solvent are ether, methanol, ethanol, toulene, tetrahydrofuran. The reaction time may be changed according to the kind of starting material & solvent, and the reaction conditions such as the reaction temperature. ##STR15## wherein R.sup.2 c represents a phenyl group, a phenoxymethyl group which may be substituted by a R.sup.7 group, or a naphthyloxymethyl group; R.sup.7 is s defined above.

The above compounds (I.sub.b) [that is, the compounds (I) wherein R.sup.2 is the above-defined group other than an amino group] can be produced by reacting the compound (I.sub.a) [that is, the compound (I) wherein R.sup.2 is an amino group] with the above epoxy compound (VI).

An equimolar or excess molar amount of either of the compounds (I.sub.a) and (VI) is used for the reaction, and the reaction is performed in the absence or presence of a solvent which do not take part in the reaction. The examples of the solvent are organic solvent such as alcohol, (e.g. methanol, ethanol), ether (e.g. ethyl ether), tetrahydrofuran, ethyl acetate, etc. The reaction can be performed at room temperature or under heating. The reaction time may be changed according to other reaction conditions such as the solvent, etc. ##STR16## wherein Z represents an organic sulfonic acid radical as defined above. R.sup.1, R.sup.2 c, R.sup.3, R.sup.4, R.sup.5, R.sup.6 are as defined above.

The compounds (I.sub.b) can also be prepared by reacting the compound (I.sub.a) with the organic sulfonic acid derivative (VII).

An equimolar or excess molar amount of either of the compounds (I.sub.a) and (VII) is used for the reaction, and the same solvent and the same reaction conditions as in the Process 2 is adopted in the reaction.

Starting materials (I.sub.a) in the above Process 3 and 4 may be produced by the method described in U.S. Pat. No. 3,985,758 using Hantzsch synthesis method. However, these starting materials (I.sub.a) can be preferably produced by the method described in the Reference Examples of this application. This method described in the Reference Examples is based on a novel reaction for dihydropyridine ring formation which, per se, is not known until now. And the new method has various advantages over known methods such as that of the U.S. Patent. That is, in the case of the novel method for dihydropyridine ring, there scarcely occur side-reaction, and 5-aminoalkoxycarbonyl compounds (I.sub.a) can be produced selectively in high yield.

A free form of the formula (I) compound or a salt of the compound (I) can be obtained after the above reactions. A salt of the formula (I) compound may be produced by performing the foregoing production process using a salt of the starting compound, or by applying a salt-forming reaction to the free formula (I) compound.

The formula (I) compounds and salts can be separated and purified in ordinary manner, such as extraction with organic solvent, crystallization, column chromatography.

The compounds of this invention of the formula (I) or salts thereof possess Ca.sup.2+ -antagonistic activity and adrenergic beta-receptor blocking activity, and further possess intrinsic sympathomimetic activity (ISA). Thus the compounds have scarcely side effects, and the compounds are useful for treatment or prevention of ischemic heart-diseases such as angina pectoris, myocardial infarction, and also useful for treatment or prevention of cardiovascular disorders such as hypertension, cardiac arrythmia.

The compounds of this invention possess also cerebral vasoconstriction-depressing action and central nervous system-improving action in addition to cardiovascular actions. So the compounds may be also a agent useful for depressing cerebral vasoconstriction and improving central nervous system.

Effective dose of the compounds of this invention is from 0.001 to 3 mg/kg (intravenous injection) in the case of antihypertensive effect and coronary blood flow increasing effect; is from 1 to 300 .mu.g/kg (intracoronary injection) in the case of coronary vasodilating effect; and is from 0.1 to 3 mg/kg (intravenous injection) in the case of beta-blocking activity. In these cases, it was also found that the compounds of this invention reduce cardiac work and myocardial oxygen demand.

Moreover, it was found that antihypertensive activity and coronary vasodilating activity of the compounds of this invention are effective for a more long period of time than in the case of known dihydropyridine compounds.

The pharmacological effects of the compounds of this invention are shown in the following test results with the test methods.

(1) Hemodynamic effects

Mongrel dogs of either sex were anesthetized with pentobarbital sodium (30 mg/kg iv). The animals were artificially ventilated with room air. The chest was opened at the left 4th intercostal space. Mean arterial blood pressure (MBP), heart rate (HR), left ventricular pressure (LVP), max. dLVP/dt, mean pulmonary arterial blood pressure (MPAP), cardiac output (CO) and coronary blood flow (Cor. BF) were measured. The test compounds were injected into the femoral vein. Hemodynamic effects of these compounds were compared with that of well known Ca.sup.2+ -antagonists.

Table 1 (column 1) indicates the percent changes of MBP and Cor. BF from control values induced by intravenous injection of test compounds.

(2) Coronary vasodilating effects

Mongrel dogs of either sex were anesthetized and ventilated as previously described. A thoracotomy was performed at the 4th intercostal space. Following an intravenous injection of heprin (1000 units/kg), blood from the distal end of the cannulated carotid artery was pumped into circumflex branch of the left coronary artery using a servocontrolled peristaltic pump which maintained a constant perfusion pressure of 120 mmHg by means of a pump controller. An electromagnetic flow probe was inserted in the circit to record blood flow through the cannulated coronary artery. The test compounds were administered directly into the rubber tubing connected close to the coronary artery cannula. Coronary vasodilating potency of the test compounds was by calculating the does required to produce 100% increase of Cor. BF (ED.sub.100 pap), when the maximum responses to papaverine at a dose of 300 .mu.g ia was expressed as 100% response. Table 1 (column 2) shows ED.sub.100 pap and the duration of action of coronary vasodilating effect of test compounds.

(3) Beta-adrenoceptor blocking effects

Beta-adrenoceptor blocking effect of test compounds was determined according to the method of Tachikawa and Takenaka (Pharmocological studies on 1-(7-indenyloxy)-3-isopropylaminopropan-2-ol hydrochloride (YB-2); Arch. Int. pharmacodyn., 202, 79-92, 1973) using male Wistar rats. The rats were pretreated with reserpine (8 mg/kg ip), 18 hr before experiments. The rats were anesthetized with pentobarbital sodium (55 mg/kg ip) and vagotomized bilaterally at the neck. The heart rate was measured with a cardiotachometer triggered by the QRS of the ECG (lead II) and recorded on a polygraph. After the Control response to isoproterenol at a dose of 0.1 .mu.g/kg iv was obtained, the test compound was injected iv in increasing doses at 20 min intervals. The mean dose producing 50% blockade of the positive chronotropic response to isoproterenol (ED.sub.50) was estimated from dose-response curves obtained by plotting inhibition percentage against log cumulative dose of the test compound (Table 1, column 3).

In this series of experiments, intrinsic sympathomimetic activity (ISA) was also evaluated. The results were shown in Table 1 (column 4), wherein "-" represents that an increase in HR was scarcely observed; "+" represents that an increase in HR by 10 to 19 beats/min was observed; "++" represents that an increase in HR by 20 to 29 beats/min was observed; "+++" represents that an increase in HR by above 30 beats/min. __________________________________________________________________________ Summary of pharmacological effects of test compounds (1)          (2)        (3) MBP     Cor.

Ca-Antagonistic and beta-adrenoceptor blocking effect of the compound of this invention (in the case of the compound of Example 12, namely, 6-(2-hydroxy-3-phenoxypropylamino)hexyl methyl 2,6-dimethyl-4-(m-nitrophenyl)-1,4-dihydropyridine-3,5-dicarboxylate) were investigated by using the following in vitro experiments.

(1) Effect on KCl-induced contraction

The experiment was performed according to the method of Terai, Takenaka and Maeno (Inhibition of calcium influx in rabbit aorta by nicardipine hydrochloride (YC-93); Bioch. Pharmacol., 30, 375-378, 1981). Herical strips were prepared from a rabbit thoracic aorta. The strips were incubated in 30 ml Krebs-Henseleit solution which was maintained at 37 C. and was constantly aerated with 95% O.sub.2 and 5% CO.sub.2 gas mixture. Isometric contractions were measured under a resting tension of 2.0 g. The strips were contracted by the addition of 50 mM KCl. Test compound was cumulatively added into the medium. The mean concentration producing a 50% inhibition of the KCl-induced contraction (IC.sub.50) was estimated from dose-response curves (Table 2, column 1).

(2) Effect on 3,4-diaminopyridine (3,4-DAP)-induced rythmic contraction

The experiment was performed according to the method of Uchida and Sugimoyo (Mechanism of rythmic contraction of coronary artery and the effect of nicorandil (SG-75); Jap. J. Pharmacol., 34, Suppl. Abst. No. 0-151, 1984) using circular segments of dog coronary artery. The ring segments were cannulated with two triangle stainless-steel hooks and suspended vertically in Krebs-Henseleit solution under the same condition described previously. Preparations were set up under a resting tension of 1.0 g and rhythmic contractions were induced by application of 10 mM 3,4-DAP. Test compound was cumulatively added into the medium. IC.sub.50 was estimated from dose-response curves (Table 2, column 2).

(3) Effect on [.sup.3 H]-nitrendipine binding

The inhibitory effect of test compound on [.sup.3 H]-nitrendipine binding to rat brain membrane was evaluated according to the method of Gould, Murphy and Synder ([.sup.3 II]-Nitrendipine-labeled calcium channels discriminate inorganic calcium agonosts and antagonists; Proc. Nati. Acad. Sci. USA, 79, 3656-3660, 1982). The IC.sub.50 values, the concentration required to inhibit specific binding by 50%, were computed by logit-log analysis and then the inhibition constant (Ki) was obtained (Table 2, column 3).

According to the method of Takenaka, Shiono, Honda, Asano, Miyazaki and Maeno (Antihypertensive and adrenoceptor blocking properties of new sulfonamide-substituted phenylethylamines; Clin. and Exper. Hyper.- Theory and Practice, A4, 125-137, 1982), isolated rate right atria was mounted in organ baths containing 30 ml of Krebs-Hensaleit solution under same condition described previously.
