The compounds of formula I of the invention may be prepared as follows.

The various compounds of the invention where R is SO.sub.3 H may be prepared starting with ester V ##STR6## which is subjected to reduction by treating with a reducing agent such as lithium borohydride or sodium borohydride, in the presence of an inert organic solvent such as tetrahydrofuran, diethyl ether or dioxane to form the alcohol VI ##STR7##

Alcohol VI is made to undergo an activation reaction wherein alcohol VI is treated with an activating agent such as methanesulfonylchloride in the presence of an organic base such as triethylamine, pyridine or diisopropylethylamine and an inert organic solvent such as methylene chloride, chloroform or tetrahydrofuran, to form the activated compound VII ##STR8## (wherein Q is an activating group).

The activated compound VII is then made to undergo a displacement reaction wherein VII is treated with potassium thioacetate or other alkali metal thioester such as sodium thioacetate, in the presence of an inert solvent such as dimethylsulfoxide or dimethylformamide, to form the thioester VIII ##STR9##

The thioester VIII is then oxidized, for example, by treatment with oxone in the presence of water and acetone, to form the compound of the invention IF ##STR10##

The compounds of formula I of the invention wherein R is --P(O)OR.sup.3 OH may be prepared starting with alcohol VI which is made to undergo an activation reaction wherein alcohol VI is treated with an activator such as triphenyl phosphine dibromide in an inert solvent, such as chloroform, methylene chloride, or carbon tetrachloride to form the bromide IX ##STR11##

Bromide IX is then subjected to a displacement reaction wherein bromide IX is treated with a trialkyl phosphite such as trimethyl phosphite [(CH.sub.3 O).sub.3 P] or triethyl phosphite [(C.sub.2 H.sub.5 O).sub.3 P] using the trialkylphosphite as solvent at elevated temperatures of from about 100.degree. C. to about 155.degree. C. for about 2 to about 20 hours to form the phosphonate diester X ##STR12##

The phosphonate diester X is then hydrolyzed by treatment with an alkali metal hydroxide such as lithium hydroxide or sodium hydroxide to form the phosphonic acid compound of the invention having the structure IG ##STR13##

In an alternative procedure, compounds of the invention IF may be prepared by treatment of bromide IX with an alkali metal sulfite such as Na.sub.2 SO.sub.3 in a suitable solvent such as water or tetrahydrofuran-water, at temperatures of from about 25.degree. C. to about 100.degree. C., followed by acidification with, for example, 1N HCl to form IF.

The compounds of formula I of the invention wherein R is --P(O)OR.sup.3 OH and R.sup.3 is H may be prepared from phosphonate diester X by treatment with trimethylsilyl bromide, trimethylsilyl iodide, or trimethylsilyl chloride/sodium iodide in an inert solvent such as methylene chloride or acetonitrile at a temperature of about 0.degree.

The compounds of this invention are thromboxane receptor antagonists and as such are useful as inhibitors of thromboxane receptor mediated actions. The term "thromboxane receptor antagonist" includes compounds which are so-called thromboxane A.sub.2 receptor antagonists, thromboxane A.sub.2 antagonists, thromboxane A.sub.2 /prostaglandin endoperoxide antagonists, TP-receptor antagonists, or thromboxane antagonists.

The compounds of the invention are also thromboxane synthetase inhibitors and thus are useful as inhibitors of thromboxane production.

The compounds of this invention are useful as inhibitors of platelet function, i.e., for the prevention and treatment of thrombotic vascular occlusive disorders, whether complete or partial, for example, arterial thrombosis, including that of the coronary, cerebral, ophthalmic, hepatic, mesenteric, renal, peripheral arteries or vascular or organ grafts, unstable angina, transient ischemic attacks, or intermittent claudication. They may be useful to prevent thrombosis following vascular injury produced in the course of diagnostic or therapeutic procedures such as endarterectomy or angiography. The compounds may be useful in the treatment or prevention of disorders characterized by platelet consumption and/or activation, including, platelet activation, dysfunction, and/or loss during extracorporeal circulation, the use of radiographic contrast agents, thrombotic thrombocytopenia purpura, disseminated intravascular coagulation, purpura fulminans, hemolytic transfusion reaction, or hemolytic uremic syndrome, systemic lupus, cyclosporine-induced renal toxicity, pulmonary hypertension, side effects from dialysis, or abdominal aortic aneurism repair. The compounds may be used in the treatment of venous thrombosis or embolism, including pulmonary embolism, deep venous thrombosis, hepatic vein thrombosis, and renal vein thrombosis.

The compounds of this invention are useful as inhibitors of arterial or venous vasoconstriction. Accordingly, they may be useful to prevent vasoconstriction associated with unstable angina, chronic stable angina, and variant, or Prinzmetal's angina, Raynaud's syndrome, migraine headache, vasospasm of the coronary, cerebral, ophthalmic, hepatic, mesenteric, renal, peripheral arteries or vascular grafts, vascular injury such as that associated with surgery or trauma. Hypertension of pregnancy, the hepato-renal syndrome, and pulmonary hypertension are additional examples of vasoconstrictive disorders treatable by the compounds of this invention.

The compounds of this invention are useful as inhibitors of bronchoconstriction, i.e., airway hyperresponsiveness, allergic bronchospasm, asthma, and bronchoconstrictive responses to environmental, infectious, noxious or mechanical stimuli.

The compounds of this invention are useful as inhibitors of ischemic and reperfusion injury to various tissues, including, myocardium, skin, brain, bowel, or kidney, alone or in combination with other agents intended to restore blood flow. For example, these compounds may be useful for improving postischemic myocardial function and decreasing myocardial infarct size. Ischemia caused by reduced blood flow during diagnostic or therapeutic procedures may benefit by treatment with these compounds, for example, they reduce the myocardial stunning observed after bypass surgery. In addition, they may be useful for reducing the tissue injury caused by a stroke.

The compounds of this invention may be useful in the prevention or treatment of other conditions including burns, diabetic retinopathy, tumor metastases and tardive dyskinesia. The compounds may be useful in potentiating diuretic-induced diuresis.

In addition, the thromboxane receptor antagonists of the invention may be used with a thrombolytic agent such as t-PA, streptokinase, urokinase, prourokinase or anisoylated plasminogenstreptokinase activator complex (APSAC) within 6 hours of a myocardial infarction. In such case, the thrombolytic agent may be used in amounts conventionally employed, for example, as disclosed in the Physicians' Desk Reference for reducing post-ischemic myocardial injury.

The compounds of the invention can be administered orally or parenterally to various mammalian species known to be subject to such maladies, e.g., humans, cats, dogs and the like in an effective amount within the dosage range of about 0.1 to about 100 mg/kg, preferably about 0.2 to about 50 mg/kg (or from about 1 to about 2500 mg, preferably from about 5 to about 2000 mg) on a regimen in single or 2 to 4 divided daily doses.

The active substance can be utilized in a composition such as tablet, capsule, solution or suspension containing about 5 to about 500 mg per unit of dosage of a compound or mixture of compounds of formula I or in topical form for wound healing (0.01 to 5% by weight compound of formula I, 1 to 5 treatments per day). They may be compounded in conventional matter with a physiologically acceptable vehicle or carrier, excipient, binder, preservative, stabilizer, flavor, etc., or with a topical carrier such as Plastibase (mineral oil gelled with polyethylene) as called for by accepted pharmaceutical practice. Also as indicated in the discussion above, certain members additionally serve as intermediates for other members of the group.

The compounds of the invention may also be administered topically to treat peripheral vascular diseases and as such may be formulated as a cream or ointment.
