Description: New Acylureas with pharmaceutical activity, the process of their obtention, the pharmaceutical compositions which contain them, and their use in human medicin This patent has as object new acylureas of thcgeneral formula I: EMI1.1 in which R is a group containing aromatic or heterocyclic nuclei (for example pyridines or indoles) which can be joined directly to the group II: EMI2.1 or separated from it by a methylene (which in turn may or may not be substituted by a lower alkyigroup) or equally separated from t said group by an oxymethylene group. The aromatic or hetero cyclic nuclii may or may not be substituted by halogens (fluorine, chlorine, bromine, or iodine ) , .tyshbrt chain alkyl groups; (Me, Et, Pr, iso - Pr, But, iso- But. etc) or by lower alcoxyl groups (MeO, EtO, etc).

The respective DL50 have been evaluated in NMRI male mice by the method of J. T. Litchfield and F. Wilcoxon (Journal of Pharmacology and Experimental Therapeutics 98 (1949) 99). The products were administered via intraperitoneal, suspended in Tween 80 at 1% plus CMC at 2% in physiological serum. The values obtained are shown in Table I below. The reference standard used was phenolbutazone. Anti platelet aggregation activity. The main activity of the products I is that of inhibiting platelet aggregation. The test was conducted "ex viva" in accordance with the procedures of Born (Nature 194 (1962) 927) administering the products by gastric catheter to rats, Sprage Dawley of both sexes of a weight between 300 and 500 g.

Claims: CLAIMS 1. - New acylureas with pharmacological activity of the general formula I: EMI23.1 where R is a group which contains aromatic or heterocyclic nuclii as for example pyridinic or indolic, which may or may not be joined directly to the group II EMI23.2 or separated therefrom by a methylene (which in turn may or may not be substituted by a low alkyl group or equally separated from the said. group by an oxymethylenegroup, these said aromatic or heterocyclic: groups being substitutable or not by halogens (fluorine, chlorine, bromine, or iodine ), by short chain alkyl groups (as for example methyl, proyl ethyl, isopropyl, butyl , isobutyl, etc) , or by lower alcoxyl group. (as for example methoxy, ethoxyl, etc) 2. - ProcesS . for the obtention of new acylureas with pharmacological activity of the general formula I, as defined in Claim 1. characterized by the adding slowly of a suitable activated form of acid of structure III R-COX III Where R is the same as in I, and X can be one of any of the halogens, or equally the - group - -O-CO-R (where R is the same as in I) , or equally the group -O-R' (where R' is a lower alkali group as for example methyl or ethyl, on to a continuously stirred suspension of urea in a solvent which is organic, non alcoholic,inert to reagents, or if the radical X is equal to OR', a suspension of monosodium urea or of urea in the presence of an adequate quantity of metallic sodium at a temperature of between ambient and the boiling point of the solvent, keeping up the stirring and the heating for a period of between 1 and 24 hours, to isolate a precipitate which is an intermediate acylurea of structure IV: R -CO-NH-CO-NH2 IV where R is the same as in I and III, which precipitate, once washed with the suitable solvents is caused to react with morpholine and a suitable form of formaldehyde within a solvent whose.polarity is not critical , to obtain the acylurea of the general formula I by amino methylation. 3. - Process for the obtention of new acylureas with pharmacol ogical activity, of the general formula I as defined in Claim 2. characterized because in the event that the compound of starting III be an acid halyde one may alternatively use an acid catalyst as for example concentrated sulphuric acid in the reaction of the obtention of the acylurea of the general formula IV. in which R is the same as in I and III, which acylureas IV, once isolated are used as the acid component for the obtention of the acylureas I, in a reaction of amino- methylation with morpholine and a suitable form of formaldehyde (formaline, trioxymethylene, or paraformaldehyde), carried out in a suitable solvent. The procedure for obtaining the acylureas of the general formula I is the following: Stage a. - Obtention of the acylurea of the general formula IV. Add slowly the activated form III on to a continuously stirred suspension of urea in a non alcoholic organic solvent; inert to reagents, as for example benzene, tuolene, xylene, pyridine, a chlorohydrocarbon derivative, etc. When . III is an acid halide, an acid catalyst can be used alternatively, as for example concentrated sulphuric acid, or basis, as for example pyridine or tri ethylamine, in which case it is appropriate to use a quantity of at least the stoichiometric with respect to III, which acts as the acceptor of the hydrogen halide given off in the reaction. The selection of the reaction temperature is not critical as the process can take place between ambient and the solvent boiling point, the latter being preferable so as to accelerate the rate of reaction. The stirring and the heating is kept up for a period varying from 1 to 24 hours after which the solution is allowed to cool at rest. A crystaline precipitate is obtained which is washëd with the same solvent used in the reaction, followed with a solution of sodium bicarbonate then finally with water, thus obtaining the intermediate acylurea of the general formula IV. Stage b. - Obtention of the acylurea of the general formula I. The acylarea thus obtained is made to react with morpholine and formaldehyde in a solvent of which the polarity is not critical, such that one can use water, acetic acid, dioxane, an alcohol such as ethanol or isoamylic alcohol or mixtures in varying proportions of these solvents; the medium can be slightly acid, neutral or basic and being preferably solvents with lower boiling points. Formaldehyde may be used, either in the form of an aqueous solution, preferably in a concentration between 35 and 40 So(formaline) or in the form of trioxymethylene ( in which case the medium must be slightly acid and the reaction times extended) or in the form of paraformaldehyde (polyoxymethylene) in any of its forms. The mixture of acylurea IV, morpholine, formaldehyde and the solvent is taken to the boil and is so kept during a period varying between 1 and 24 hours. The product is isolated either by crystalization and filtration of the cold crude from the reaction or by precipitation followed by filtration of the crude poured onto an excess of water. The product so obtained, of a richness approximating to 900 is purified by obtaining the corresponding hydrochlori de; for this one disolves in an organic solvent such as alcohol, dioxane, or a hydrochloride derivative and causes to bubble,a stream of hydrogen chloride across the organic solution until total precipitation1 or one adds a stoechiznwetric quantity of concentrated hydric chloride acid to the said solution.
