The invention also involves a pharmaceutical composition which comprises a compound having structural formula I in combination with a pharmaceutically acceptable carrier. The invention further involves methods for treating allergic reactions, inflammation, peptic ulcers, hypertension and hyperproliferative skin diseases (e.g., psoriasis, lichenified eczema or seborrheic dermatitis) and for suppressing the immune response in a mammal which comprises administering the above defined pharmaceutical composition to said mammal in an amount effective to achieve such purposes. The group B in formula I may represent various aromatic and heterocyclic rings. These rings may be attached to the group -(CH2 )k- (or to the N atom of the middle ring of structural formula I if k is zero) via any of_ the available substitutable atoms of such B aromatic or heterocyclic aromatic ring. Examples of suitable aryl heterocyclic groups B include 2-, 3- or 4-pyridinyl, 2- or 3-furanyl, 2- or 3-thienyl, 2, 4- or 5-thiazolyl, 2- 4- or 5-imidazolyl, 2-, 4-, 5- or 6-pyrimidinyl, 2- or 3- pyrazinyl, 3- or 4-pyridazinyl, 3-, 5- or 6- [1,2,4- triazinyll, 2-, 3-, 4-, 5-, 6- or 7-benzofuranyl, 2-, 3-, 4-, 5-, 6- or 7-indolyl, or 3, 4- or 5-pyrazolyl. Also, in formula IV, when Rl and R2 together represent a heterocyclic ring system, all possible orientations of the heteroatoms in such rings are intended. For example, R1 and R2 together with the adjacent carbon atoms of the ring EMI0012.0014 to which they are attached may form a furanyl ring with the oxygen atom thereof in any possible position in the furanyl ring. As noted above, the compounds of the invention may include up to three Q substi tuen is on an aromatic "B" group depending upon the available sites for substitution. In compounds where there is more than one such Q substituent, they may be the same or different.

The same is true when a particular substituent (such as Re) appears in two or more positions in a compound of formula I. For example, when in formula I, Z is NRe, ring W is formula II, and Rl represents COORe, the Re groups may be the same or different. Certain compounds of the invention may exist in isomeric forms. The invention contemplates all such isomers both in pure form and in admixture, including racemic mixtures. The compounds of the invention of formula I can exist in unsolvated as well as solvated forms, including hydrated forms, e.g., hemihydrate. In general, the solvated forms, with pharmaceutically acceptable solvents such as water, ethanol and the like are equivalent to the unsolva ted forms for purposes of the invention. Certain compounds of the invention will be acidic in nature, e.q. those compounds which possess a carboxyl or phenolic hydroxyl group. These compounds may form pharmaceutically acceptable salts. Examples of such salts are the sodium, potassium, calcium, aluminum, gold and silver salts. Also contemplated are salts formed with pharmaceutically acceptable amines such as ammonia, alkyl amines, hydroxyalkylamines, N-methylglucamine and the like. Certain compounds of the invention also form pharmaceutically acceptable acid addition salt and quaternary ammonium salts. For example, the pyr ido- or pyrazino- nitrogen atoms may form salts with strong acid, while compounds having basic Q substituents such as amino groups also form salts with weaker acids. Examples of suitable acids for salt formation are hydrochloric, sulfuric, phosphoric, acetic, citric, oxalic, malonic, salicylic, malic, fumaric, succinic, ascorbic, maleic, methanesulfonic and other mineral and carboxylic acids well known to those in the art. The salts are prepared by contacting the free base form with a sufficient amount of the desired acid to produce a salt in the conventional manner. The free base forms may be regenerated by treating the salt with a suitable dilute aqueous base solution such as dilute aqueous sodium hydroxide, potassium carbonate, ammonia and sodium bicarbonate. The quaternary ammonium salts are prepared by conventional methods, e.g., by reaction of a tertiary amino group in a compound of formula I with a guaternizing compound such as an alkyl iodide, etc. The free base forms differ from their respective salt forms somewhat in certain physical properties, such as solubility in polar solvents, but the salts are otherwise equivalent to their respective free base forms for purposes of the invention. The compounds of the invention which possess an aromatic ring nitrogen atom, as defined above, may also form quaternary salts at an aromatic ring nitrogen atom. A11 such acid, base and quaternary salts are intended to be pharmaceutically acceptable salts within the scope of the invention and a11 acid and base salts are considered equivalent to the free forms of the corresponding compounds for purposes of the invention.

To make a compound of formula I wherein the dotted lines in ring t are not double bonds and wherein M a'nd X are the same or different and are CH(Ra) or NH, i.e., as in formula XXV-below, a compound of formula XXIV EMI0032.0013 (wherein X and M are the same or different and are C(Ra) or N and wherein B, k and W are as previously defined) is hydrogenated to form a compound of formula XXV EMI0033.0002 The reaction with hydrogen gas may be carried out over 10$ Pd/C catalyst in glacial acetic acid or other suitable solvent at about room temperature. The pressure may range from 1 to 4 atmospheres or higher. The temperature may range from room temperature to 100 C or higher. To form a compound of formula I wherein at least one of M and X represents N(A) wherein A is as defined previously but other than hydroqen, and the dotted lines in rinq t are not double bonds, a compound --of formula XXV EMI0033.0009 wherein at least one of M and X is NH and W is as 'definec previously, is reacted with a compound of formula XXVI LlOAl XXVI wherein L10 is a leaving group and Al is a radical in accordance with the previous definitions of A, but other than hydrogen. In formula XXVI, if Al is alkyl, L10 may be iodine, chlorine, bromine, etc. The reaction of XXV with XXVI recuires a base, e.g., NaH, and a solvent, e.g., dimethylformamide. The temperature can range from 0 to 50 C. If Al is other than alkyl, L10 is preferably chlorine or bromine, the solvent is toluene,<B>CH</B> 2C12 or benzene, and the base is pyridine or triethylamine. The temperature may be 0 to 50 C. To make a compound of formula I wherein Z is S a compound of formula I wherein Z is O is reacted with P 2S5 or Lawesson's reagent, or other reagent capable of introducing sulfur in place of oxygen. The reaction may take place at elevated temperature in pyridine or other suitable solvent. Lawesson's reagent has the formula EMI0034.0021 Numerous conversions of a compound of formula I to another compound of formula F are possible. Many of the examples illustrate such conversions. Compounds wherein Z represents NRe or N(OR1) may be prepared by reacting the compounds wherein Z is oxygen first with an oxaphile such as SOC12, POC13, PC15, etc., and then with the appropriate amine or hydroxylamine. The compounds of this invention can be used to treat allergies and their preferred use is for treating allergic chronic obstructive lung diseases. Chronic obstructive lung disease as used herein means disease conditions in which the passage of air through the lungs is obstructed or diminished such as is the case in asthma, bronchitis and the like. The anti-allergy method of this invention is identified by tests which measure a compound's inhibition of anaphylactic bronchospasm in sensitized guinea pigs having antiqen-induced SRS -A mediated broncho- constriction. Allergic bronchospasm was measured in acutely sensitized guinea pigs by a modification of the procedure of Konzett and Rossler, <U>Arch</U>. Exptl. Pathol. Pharmakol., <U>194</U>, pp. 71-74 (1940). Male Hartley guinea pigs were sensitized with 5 mg ovalbumin injected ip and 5 mq injected sc in 1 ml saline on day 1 and 5mg ovalbumin injected ip on day 4. The sensitized animals were used 3-4 weeks later. To measure anaphylactic bronchospasm, sensitized guinea pigs were fasted overnight and the following morning were anesthetized with 0.9 ml/kq ip of dialurethane. The trachea and jugular vein were cannulated and the animals were ventilated by a Harvard rodent respirator. A side arm to the tracheal cannula was connected to a Harvard pressure transducer to obtain a continuous measure of intratracheal pressure. An increase in intratracheal pressure was taken as a measure of bronchoconstriction. Each guinea pig was injected iv with lmg/kq propranolol, 5 mg/kg indomethacin and 2 mg/kq mepyramine given together in a volume of 1 ml/kq. Fifteen minutes later, the animals were challenged with antigen (0.5 per cent ovalbumin) delivered as an aerosol generated from a DeVilbiss Model 65 ultrasonic nebulizer and delivered through the tracheal cannula for 30 seconds. Bronchoconstriction was measured as the peak increase in intratracheal pressure occurring within 15 minutes after antigen challenge. For example, the compound 10-(3 chlorophenyl)-6,7,8,9-tetrahydrobenzo[b][1,8]- naphthyridin-5(l0Ei)-one (Compound B), was found to inhibit anaphylactic bronchospasms in such test procedure when given at an oral dose of 0.2 mq/ka. Said compound was also found to inhibit allerqen-induced SRS -A and histamine release from sensitized guinea niq lung tissue. The compounds are effective non-adrenerqic, non-anticholinerqic antianaphylactic agents. The compounds may be administered by any conventional mode of administration for treatment of allergic ceactions employing an effective amount of_ a compound of formula I for such,mode. For example, when administered orally they are active at doses from about 0.2 to 10 mg/kg of body weight; when administered narenterally, e.q., intravenously, the compounds are active at dosages of from about 0.1 to 5 mg/kq body weight; when administered by inhalation (aerosol or nebulizer) the compounds are active at dosages of aho@@t 0.1 to 10 ma per huff, one to four puffs may be taken every 4 hours. The compounds of this invention are also useful for the treatment of inflammation; thus, they are useful for the treatment of: arthritis, huL"iLris, tendonitis, gout and other inflammatory conditions. The anti- inflammatory use of. the compounds of the present invention may be demonstrated by the Reversed Passive Arthus Reaction (RPAR)-PAW technique as set forth below using male Lewis rats (obtained from Charles River Breeding Laboratories) weighing 180-220 grams. The potency of the compounds is determined using indomethacin as the standard. On the basis of the test results, an oral dosage range of about 5 milligrams per kilogram of body weight per day to about 50 milligrams per kilogram of body weight per day in divided doses taken at about 4 hour intervals is recommended, again with any of the conventional modes of administration for treatment of inflammation being suitable. The dosage to be administered and the route of administration depends upon the particular compound used, the age and general health of the patient and the severity of the inflammatory condition. Thus, the dose ultimately decided upon must be left to the judgment of a trained physician. The anti-inflammatory activity may be demonstrated by the following rest procedures: Reversed Passive Arthus Reaction (RPAR) <U>Animals,</U> Materials <U>and</U> "tethods Male Lewis inbred albino rats weiqhinq 180=220 grams obtained from Charles River Breeding Laboratories ire used in these experiments. The rats are housed 3 .inimals/caqe and food and water are allowed ad libitum. The animals are numbered 1-3 in each cane and color marked for identification purposes. All reagents and drugs are prepared just prior to the study. Crystallized and lyophilized bovine serum albumin (BSA), obtained from Sigma Chemical Company, is solubilized without shaking in cold sterile pyrogen free saline (10 mg/ml). Lyophilized anti-bovine serum albumin (IqG Fraction), obtained from Cappel Laboratories, is suspended in sterile distilled water and diluted with cold pyrogen free saline (PFS) just prior to rise. The final concentration of anti-bovine serum albumin is 0.5 mq/ml of PFS. Both BSA and anti-BSA solutions are iced during use. Drugs are suspended or solubilized in an aqueous.solution of methyl cellulose (MC) with a homogen i zer just prior to administration. Groups of animals (6/group) are dosed with drug in MC by gavaqe one hour prior to sensitization with BS A. Controls are given MC alone and a standard drug is usually included in each assay for verification purposes. Drugs are prepared so as to provide a dose for a 200 gram animal which is equivalent to the mg/kg dose for the experiment. Thus each rat receives an oral dose in a volume of approximately 2.0 cc. One hour after dosing the animals are lightly anesthetized with ether and sensitized by injecting into the penile vein 0.2 ml of PFS containing 1.0 mg of BS A. One hour later they are injected in the plantar region of one hind paw with 0.1 ml of PFS containing 0.1 mq of the anti-bovine serum albumin. Immediately after the subplantar injection, the injected paw is dipped (up to the lateral maleolus) into the mercury well of. a plethysmoqraph. The volume of mercury displaced is converted to weight and recorded. This value is considered to be the control paw volume for the animal. Paw volumes are also recorded with a plethysmoqraph during the development of the inflammation at 2 and 4 hours post-challenqe. Compounds B, C and D provided ED50 values of about 0.4, 0.1 and 0.4 mq/kq, respectivley, p.o. in this procedure. Another procedure for testing for acute anti inflammatory activity measures the reverse passive Arthus reaction in the pleural cavity of rats as described in Myers et al, Inflammation, Vol. 9, No. 1, 1985, pp. 91 98. Compounds B and C provide ED50 values of about 0.4 mg/kg and 0.1 mg/kq, respectively, p.o. in such procedure. The compounds of this invention are also useful in the treatment of peptic ulcers. They display chemotherapeutic activity which enables them to relieve the symptoms of peptic ulcer disease, stress ulceration, and promote healing of gastric and/or duodenal ulcers. The compounds are also useful as conjunctive therapeutic agents for coadministration with such anti inflammatory/analgesic agents as aspirin, indomethacin, phenylbutazone, ibuprofen, naproxen, tolmetin and other agents. The compounds of this invention prevent the untoward side effects of irritation and damage to the gastrointestinal tract caused by such agents. The anti- ulcer activity of the compounds of this invention is identified by tests. The compounds of this invention may be evaluated for their antiulcer activity characteristics by the procedures which measure the cytoprotective effect in rats e.Q., as described in Chiu et al.,<U>Archives</U> Internationales de Pharmacodynamie et de Therapie, 270, 128-140 (1984). Compound A at 10 mq/kq provided an 82$ inhibition of Indomethacin-induced gastric ulcers. In the treatment of peptic ulcer disease, and the prevention and treatment of druq-induced qa stric ulceration, the active compounds of this invention can be administered in conventional unit dosage forms such as tablets, capsules, pills, powders, granules, sterile parenteral solutions or suspensions, suppositories, mechanical delivery devices, e.g., transdermal, and the like. The compounds of this invention may be administered at doses of about 0.3 to about 30 mg/kq, preferably from about 2 to about 15 mq/kg, of body weight per day. Preferably, the total dosages are administered in 2-4 divided doses per day. The compounds of the invention are also useful as antihypertensive agents in the treatment of hypertension. The compounds effectively lower blood pressure in spontaneously hypertensive rats (SHR), an animal model of human essential hypertension, without affecting the blood pressure of normotensive rats. This activity may be demonstrated by the procedure described below. Male spontaneously hypertensive rats or normotensive Sprague-Dawley rats were used. Blood pressure is measured according to standard procedures as described in detail in Baum T., Sybertz E.J., Watkins R.W., et al., Antihypertensive activity of SCH 31846, a non-sulfhydryl anqiotensin-convertinq enzyme inhibitor.<U>J.</U> Cardiovas. Pharmacol. 5:655-667, 1983. Animals are allowed a t least 1.5-2 hours equilibration prior to experimentation. Test dr,uqs are administered orally in a methylcellulose vehicle in a volume of 2 ml/kq and blood pressure is monitor for 4 hours following dosing. Compound A above at oral dosages of 10 and 30 mg/kq reduced blood pressure significantly by -21t4 (mean fS EM) and -35t4 mm Hg, respectively, in the spontaneously hypertensive rats. In contrast, Compound A did not lower blood pressure in the normotensive Sprague Cawley rats. Compounds B and C at an oral dosage of 30 mq/kg lowered blood pressure by -19t2 and -24t2 mm Hq, respectively, in the SHR and caused negligible changes in blood pressure of normotensive Sprague Ch wley rats. The dosage range for the antihypertensive method of the invention may vary from about 3 to about 100 mg/kq, preferably about 10 to about 30 mq/kg per day in divided doses if desired. The dose will he varied depending on a number of factors, including<U>inter</U> alia the hypertensive disease being treated, the patient, the potency of the particular compound employed, etc. The compounds of formula I can be administered by conventional modes, e:g. orally, intraveneously, etc., in any conventional form for such purpose such as solutions, capsules, tablets, pills, powders, sterile parenteral solutions or suspensions, transdermal compositions or the like. The compounds of formula I are useful in the treatment of hyperproliferative skin disease, e.g., psoriasis, in mammals, e.g., humans, which may be demonstrated by the Arachidonic Acid Mouse Ear Test as described below. Arachidonic <U>Acid</U> <U>Mouse</U> Ear <U>Test,</U> Materials <U>and Methods</U> Charles River, female, CD, (SD) BR mice, 6 weeks old, are caged 8/group and allowed to acclimate 1-3 weeks prior to use. Arachidonic acid (AA) is dissolved in reagent grade acetone (2 mq/.O1 ml) and stored at -20 C for a maximum of 1 week prior to use. Inflammatory reactions are induced by applying 10 ml of AA to both surfaces of one ear (4 gri total) . Test drugs are dissolved in either reagent grade acetone or aqueous ethanol (only if insoluble in acetone) at the same doses selected by Opas et<U>al.</U>,<U>Fed.</U> Proc. 43, Abstract 2983, n. 1927 (1984) and Young et<U>al.</U>, <U>J. Invest.</U> Dermatol. 82, pp. 367-371 (1984). These doses are employed to ensure maximum responses and to overcome any difference in topical absorption which could occur with any drug applied in an aqueous ethanol vehicle. The test drug is applied 30 minutes prior to challenge with AA. The severity of the inflammation is measured as a function of increased ear weight. A 6 mm punch biopsy is removed 1 hour after AA challenge and weighed to the nearest 0.1 mq. Mean t standard error and a11 possible comparisons are made via Duncan's Multiple Range Statistic. Compounds A, F3, and C provided ED50 values of 0.15 mg,- 0.07 mg and 0.01 mg, respectively, in the above test procedure. As a result of the topical administration of a compound of formula I, a remission of the symptoms of the psoriatic patient, in most cases, can be expected. Thus, one affected by psoriasis can expect a decrease in scaling, erythema, size of the plaques, pruritus and other symptoms associated with psoriasis. The dosage of medicament and the length of time required for success fully treating each individual psor is tic patient may vary, but those skilled in the art of medicine will be able to recognize these variations and adjust the course of therapy accordingly. Included within the invention are preparations for topical application to the skin whereby the compounds having structural formula I are effective in the treatment and control of skin diseases characterized by rapid rates of cell proliferation and/or abnormal cell proliferation, e.g., psoriasis. In a preferred method of_ treating hyperpro- liferative skin diseases, a pharmaceutical formulation comprising a compound of_ formula I, (usually in concentrations in the range of from about 0.001 percent to about 10 percent, preferably from about 0.1 percent to about 5 percent) together with a non-toxic, pharma- ceutically acceptable topical carrier, is applied several times daily to the affected skin until the condition has improved. Topical applications may then be continued at less frequent intervals (e.g. once a day) to control mitosis in order to prevent return of severe disease conditions. The compounds of the invention are also useful in the treatment of autoimmune and other immunological diseases including graft rejection in which T cell proliferation is a contributing factor to the pathogenesis of disease. The effectiveness of these compounds as immunosuppressinq agents may be demonstrated by the following tests which involve the inhibition of T cell functions using these compounds. <U>GRAFT</U> VS. <U>HOST REACTION</U> (GVHR) To induce a GVHR, C57 B1/6XA/J(F6AF1) male mice were injected intravenously with parental (C57B1/6J) spleen and lymph node cells. The compound (Compound A) was then administered orally for 10 days beginning on the day prior to the cell transfer. On the day following the last treatment, the animals were sacrificed, and their spleens were excised and weighed. The enlargement of the spleen of the host is a result of a GVHR. To some extent it is the host's own cells which infiltrate and enlarge the spleen although they do this because of the presence of graft cells reacting against the host. The amount of spleen enlargement, splenomegaly, is taken as a measure of the severity of the GVHR. In carrying out the GVHR the animal in the experimental group is injected with parental cells, cells of the same species but of different genotype, which cause a weight increase of the spleen. The animal in the control group is injected with syngeneic cells, genetically identical cells which do not cause a weight increase of the spleen. The effectiveness of the compounds administered to the mice in the experimental group is measured by comparing the spleen weight of the untreated and treated GVH animal with that of the syngeneic control. Compound B reduced spleen weight by 12$, 29$ and 100$ at doses (mq/kg) of 25, 50 and 100, respectively, as compared to the untreated animals; while Compound C reduced spleen weight by 46%, 129% and 100$ at doses (mq/kq) of 25, 50 and 100, respectively, compared to untreated animals. <U>S</U> PLEN <U>IC ATROPHY</U> The immunosuppressive activity of the compounds may also be shown by a decrease. in spleen weight after dosing BDF1 mice orally with the drug for seven (7) consecutive days. The mice are sacrificed on the eighth day. The percent decrease in spleen weight is measured for each dosage level. In this procedure, Compound B provided a 27$, 25$ and 24$ spleen weight decrease at dosage levels of 25, 50 and 100 mg/kg, respectively; while Compound C provided a 31$, 35$ and 33% spleen weight decrease at dosage levels of 25, 50 and 100 mg/kg, respectively. As noted above, the subject compounds possess acute anti-allergy and anti-inflammatory activities. For example, Compounds B and C have ED50 values of less than about 0.5 mq/kq and 5 mg/kq, respectively, p.o. in tests measuring the inhibition of anaphylactic bronchospasm in sensitized guinea pigs having antigen-induced broncho- constriction.and ED50 values of about 0.4 mg/kg and 0.1 mq/kq, respectively, p.o. in tests measuring the reverse passive Arthus reaction in the pleural cavity of rats (as described by Myers et al.,<U>Inflammation</U>, Vol. 9, No. 1, 1985, pp. 91-98). Compounds B and C have ED50 values of greater than about 50 mq/kq and 25 mg/kq, respectively, in the GVHR test as described above. These results for Compound B and C and similar results obtained for other compounds of formula I tested to date indicate that an immunosuppressive effective dose for such compounds is several times or more their anti inflammatory and anti-allergy effective doses. The usual dosage range for the immunosuppressive method of the invention with the compounds of formula I in a 70 kg mammal is an oral dose of about .1 to 250 mq/kg, preferably .1 to 150 mg/kg, in 3 or 4 divided doses per day. Of course, the dose will be regulated according to the potency of compound employed, the immunological disease being treated, and the judgment of the attending clinician depending on factors such as the degree and the severity of the disease state and age and general condition of the- patient being treated. To treat immunological diseases, the active compounds of formula I can be administered in unit dosage forms such as tablets, capsules, pills, powders, granules, sterile parenteral solutions or suspensions, suppositories, transdermal compositions and the like. Such dosage forms are prepared according to standard techniques well known in the art. Some of the compounds of this invention are also useful in preventing cardiac anaphylaxis. For preparing pharmaceutical compositions from the compounds described by this invention, inert, pharmaceutically acceptable carriers can be either solid or liquid. Solid form preparations include powders, tablets, dispersible granules, capsules, cachets.and- suppositories. A solid carrier can be one or more substances which may also act as diluents, flavoring agents, solubilizers, lubricants, suspending agents, binders or tablet-disintegrating agents; it can also be an encapsulating material. In powders, the carrier is a finely divided solid which is in admixture with the finely divided active compound. In the tablet the active compound is mixed with carrier having the necessary binding properties in suitable proportions and compacted in the shape and size desired. The powders and tablets preferably contain from 5 to about 70 percent of the active ingredient. Suitable solid carriers are magnesium carbonate, magnesium stearate, talc, sugar, lactose, pectin, dextrin, starch, gelatin, tragacanth, methylcellulose, sodium carboxymethyl-cellulose, a low melting.wax, cocoa butter and the like. The term "preparation" is intended to include the formulation of the active compound with encapsulating material as carrier providing a capsule in which the active component (with or without other carriers) is surrounded by carrier, which is thus in association with it. Similarly, cachets are included. Tablets, powders, cachets and capsules can be used as solid dosage forms suitable for oral administration. For preparing suppositories, a low melting wax such as a mixture of fatty acid qlycerides or cocoa butter is first melted, and the active ingredient is dispersed homogeneously therein as by stirring. The molten homogeneous mixture is then poured into convenient sized molds, allowed to cool and thereby solidify. Liquid form preparations include solutions, suspensions and emulsions. As an example may be mentioned water or water-propylene glycol solutions for parenteral injection. Liquid preparations can also be formulated in solution in polyethylene glycol and/or propylene glycol, which may contain water. Aqueous solutions suitable for oral use can be prepared by adding the active component to water and adding suitable colorants, flavors, sta bilizinq, sweetening, solubilizing and thickening agents as desired. Aqueous suspensions suitable for oral use can be made by dispersing the finely divided active component in water with viscous material, i.e., natural or synthetic gums, resins, methvlcellulose, sodium carboxymethylcellulose and other well-known suspending agents. Formulations for topical application, e.q., for use in treating hyperproliferative skin diseases, may include the above liquid forms, creams, aerosols, sprays, dusts, powders, lotions and ointments which are prepared by combining an active ingredient according to this inventions with conventional pharmaceutical diluents and carriers commonly used in topical dry, liquid, cream and aerosol formulations. Ointment and creams may, for example, be formulated with an aqueous or oily base with the addition of suitable thickening and/or gelling agents. Such bases may, thus, for example, include water and/or an oil such as liquid paraffin or a vegetable oil such as peanut oil or castor oil. Thickening agents which may be used according to the nature of the base include soft paraffin, aluminum stearate, cetostearyl alcohol, propylene glycol, polyethylene glycols, woolfat, hydrogenated lanolin, beeswax, etc. Lotions may be formulations with an aqueous or oily base and will, in general, also include one or more of the following, namely, stabilizing agents, emulsifying agents, dispersing agents, suspending agents, thickening agents, coloring agents, perfumes and the like. Powders may be formed with the aid of any suitable powder base, e.g., talc, lactose, starch; etc. Drops may be formulated with an aqueous base or non aqueous base also comprising one or more dispersing agents, suspending agents, solubilizinq agents, etc. The topical pharmaceutical compositions according to the invention may also include one or more preservatives or bacteriostatic agents, e.q., methyl hydroxybenzoate, propyl hydroxybenzoate, chlorocresol, benzalkonium chlorides, etc. The topical pharmaceutical compositions according to the invention may also contain other active ingredients such as antimicrobial agents, particularly antibiotics, anesthetics, analgesics and antipruritic agents. Also included are solid form preparations which are intended to be converted, shortly before use, to liquid form preparations for either oral or parenteral administration. Such liquid forms include solutions, suspensions and emulsions. These particular solid form preparations are most conveniently provided in unit dose form and as such are used to provide a single liquid dosage unit. Alternatively, sufficient solid may be provided so that after conversion to liquid form, multiple individual liquid doses may be obtained by measuring predetermined volumes of the liquid form preparation as with a syringe, teaspoon or other volumetric container. When multiple liquid doses are so prepared, it is preferred to maintain the unused portion of said liquid doses at low temperature (i.e., under refrigeration) in order to retard possible decompo sition. The solid form preparations intended to be converted to liquid form may contain, in addition to the active material, flavorants, colorants, stabilizers, buffers, artificial and natural sweeteners, dispersants, thickeners, solubilizinq agents and the like. The solvent utilized for prenarinq the liquid form preparation may be water, isotonic water, ethanol, glycerine, propylene glycol and the like as well as mixtures thereof. Naturally, the solvent utilized will be chosen with regard to the route of administration, for example, liquid preparations containing large amounts of ethanol are not suitable for parenteral use. Preferably, the pharmaceutical preparation is in unit dosage form. In such form, the preparation is subdivided into unit doses containing appropriate quantities of the active component. The unit dosage form can be a packaged preparation, the package containing discrete quantities of preparation, for example, packeted tablets, capsules and powders in vials or ampoules. The unit dosage form can also be a capsule, cachet or tablet itself or it can be the appropriate number of any of these in packaged form. When administered parenterally, e.g. intra venously, the compounds are administered at a dosage range of about 1-30 mq/kg of body weight in single or multiple daily doses. The quantity of active compound in a unit dose of preparation may be varied or adjusted from 1 mg to 100 mq according to the particular application and the potency of the active ingredient. The compositions can, if desired, also contain other therapeutic agents. The dosages may be varied depending upon the requirements of the patient, the severity of the condition being treated and the particular compound being employed. Determination of the proper dosage for a particular situation is within the skill of the art. Generally, treatment is initiated with smaller dosages which are less than the optimum dose of the compound. Thereafter, the dosage is increased by small increments until the optimum effect under the circumstances is reached. For convenience, the total daily dosage may be divided and administered in portions during the day if desired. The following examples are intended to illustrate, but not to limit, the present invention. PREPARATIVE EXAMPLE <U>1</U> Dissolve 2-chloronicotinoyl chloride (0.10 mole) in CHC13 (90m1).

In such instances, the intramolecular cyclization of the intermediate to the desired product may be carried out by the following process. The procedure of Example 4 above is repeated, except that the 2-(3-chlorophenylamino)-pyridinyl-3- carboxylic chloride and 2-(1-pyrrolidino)-indene are employed as the 2-arylaminopyridinyl-3-carbonyl chloride and enamine respectively. The intermediate product of the reaction, i.e., [2-(3-chlorophenylamino)-pyridinyl] [2-(1-pyrrolidino]-1-indenyllmethanone, (or mixture with the corresponding cyclized product) is treated with para- toluenesulfonic acid basically as described in Example 1 above (but substituting the intermediate (or mixture) for the primary amine and the enaminoketone) to produce 11- (3-chlorophenyl)-10,11-dihydro-5H-indeno[2,1-b] [1,8]naphthyridin-5-one, m.p. 304-307 C (d) after crystallization from C2H50H. <U>EXAMPLE 7</U> Dissolve ethyl chloroformate (0.01 mole) in CH2C12 (40 ml). Add the resultinq solution over 30 min. to a 3 C-solution of 2-anilinonicotinic acid (0.01 mole) and triethylamine (0.01 mole) dissolved in CH2C12 (400 ml). Keep the resultinq solution at 3 C for 2 hrs. to provide a solution containing 2-anilino-3-ethoxy- carbonyloxycarbonyl-pyridine. Add a solution of the enamine 3,3-dimethyl-9-(1-pyrrolidinyl)-1,5-dioxaspiro [5.5]undec-8-ene (0.01 mole) dissolved in CH2C12 (60 ml) over 15 min. When the last addition is complete, keep the reaction mixture at 3 C for another 2 hrs and at 25 C for 24 hrs. Wash the CH2C12 solution with aqueous Na HC03 solution, with water, with four portions of dilute aqueous HC1 solution, and finally with water. After drying the CH2C12 solution, evaporate solvent to obtain the naphthyridinone, 6,8,9,10-tetrahydro-5',5'-dimethyl- 10-phenyl-spiro[benzo-[b][1,8]naphthyridin-7-(5H), 2,- [1, 3]dioxan]-5-one, which is chromatographed as needed and is finally crystallized from ethyl acetate/methanol, m.p. 235.5-238.5<B>0</B>C. 1-acetyl-4-(1-pyrrolidinyl)-1,2,3,6- tetrahydropyridine can be employed as the enamine to produce 7-acetyl-6,8,9,10-tetrahydro-10-phenyl- pyrido[2,3-b][1,6]naphthyridin-5(7H)-one, m.p. 209.5- 212.5 , after crystallization from CH3CN. United States Reissue Patent 26,655 describes the commercially available (Aldrich Chemical Co.) 2- anilinonicotinic acid. The pyrrolidine enamine of 1,4- cyclohexanedione mono-2,2-dimethyltrimethylene ketal is known (<U>Synth</U>. Comm. 7, 417 (1977)), and the pyrrolidine enamine of 4-acetyl-l-piperidone is made according to J. Am. <U>Chem</U>. Soc. 76, 2029 (1954). <U>EXAMPLE 8</U> Dilute a 1M solution (73 ml) of lithium bistrimethylsilylamide in hexane with dry THF (75 ml), and add a solution of cyclopentanone (0.070m) in THF. After brief stirring at 25 C, add a solution of methyl 2- phenylaminonicotinate (0.073 mol) in THF (48 ml). Reflux the solution for 22 hours,- monitoring progress of the condensation by thin-layer chroma toqraphy . When condensation is complete, cool the reaction mixture, evaporate solvent, and dissolve the residue in CHC13. Wash the CHC13 solution with water and with saturated aqueous NaCl solution. After drying the CHC1j solution, evaporate the solvent to obtain the crude naphthyridinone. Purify the crude product by chromatography on silica gel with CHC13, and crystallization from CH3CN to provide 6,7,8,9-tetrahydro- 9-phenyl-5H-cyclopenta[b][1, 8]-naphthyridin-5-one. By employing the ketones and arylamino- nicotinates indicated in Columns 1 and 2 of Table 8 below in basically the same process, the compounds listed in Column 3 are prepared. In these reactions THF or toluene are employed as solvents and lithum bistrimethylsilyla - mide, sodium hydride or freshly prepared sodium amide are employed as the base.

EXAMPLE <U>9</U> With some compounds, the process of Example 8 results in incomplete cyclization to the desired naphthyridinone, i.e., a 1,3-diketone (or a mixture thereof with the desired cyclized product) results (see formula la above). In such instances, the intramolecular cyclization to the naphythyridinone may be accomplished by subjecting the 1,3-diketone (or mixture) which results from the.process of Example 8 to the following procedure. For example, with 3,4-dihydro-6-methoxy-l- naphthalenone as the ketone and methyl 2-phenylamino- nicotinate as the arylaminonicotinate, the 1,3-diketone, 3,4-dihydro-6-methoxy-2-[[2-(phenylamino)-3-pyridinyl)- carbonyl)-1(2)i)-napthalenone, results from the process of Example 8. To cyclize, reflux 9 g of the diketone. in 400 ml of toluene containing a catalytic amount of p- toluenesulfonic acid. Collect the evolved water in a Dean-Stark trap. Remove the heat after 2 1/2 hours and allow the mixture to stand overniqht. Distill the toluene under vacuum on a steam bath and crystallize the residue from acetonitrile, to provide the product 5,6 dihVdro-3-methoxy-12-phenylnaphtho[1,2- b][1,8)naphthyridin-7(12H)-one, m.p. 234-237.5 C, after crystallization from CH3CN. By employinq basically the same procedure and employinq the ketones and arylaminonicotinates listed in Columns 1 and 2 of Table 9 below, the compounds listed in Column 3 are prepared.
