Description: The present invention relates to the use of thiazine dioxide derivaties for preparing a medicament suitable for the treatment of renal diseases and disorders of digestive organs. (1) As is well known, the kidney of a living body has the function of excreting wastes from the blood and harmful matters taken into the living body such as chemicals or toxicants into urine by means of filtration and secretion mechanisms in the uriniferous tubule. However, the above wastes and chemicals are likely to cumulate locally. For this reason, renal diseases are often liable to occur. Specific examples of substances which cause such renal diseases include diverse substances. Chemicals as such are as follows. (Chemicals likely to cause renal dysfunctions) Analgesic, Antipyretic, Antiphlogistic and Antirheumatic drugs: phenacetin, aspirin, indomethacin, mefenamic acid, fenoprofen, gold preparation, D-penicillamine, etc. Antibiotics: aminoglycosides, polypeptides, polyenes, cephalosporins, penicillins, etc. Preparations for chemotherapy: sulfamides, etc. Carcinostatic or Anti-cancer drugs: mitomycin C, daunomycin, cisplatin, nitrosoureas, etc. Immunosuppressants: cyclophosphamide, etc. Narcotics: methoxyflurane, etc. Diuretics: thiazides, etc. Contrast medium The above chemicals which cause renal diseases are classified on the basis of the following Japanese literature. That is, the literature is "Rinsho Seijinbyo" Vol. 16, No. 8 (1986), "Rinsho to Kenkyu" Vol. 63, No. 4 (issued April 1986), and "Iyakuhin Yoran" (edited by Osaka-fu Hospital Pharmacist Society, Yakugyojihosha, issued November 10, 1983). Renal diseases have been discussed above from the viewpoint of the metabolic function of this organ. However, renal diseases include other diseases which are considered to be caused through an immunological mechanism. Renal diseases referred to in the present invention include diseases which exhibit dysfunctions in the glomeruli, uriniferous tubulus, loops, etc., such as (a) renal dysfunctions caused by the above metabolic function failure, e.g. acute nephritis caused by chemicals, etc., and chronic nephritis caused from a change of such acute nephritis into a chronic state, (b) acute nephritis caused through immunological mechanism and chronic nephritis caused from a change of such acute nephritis into a chronic state, and (c) acute nephritis caused by bacteria and virus infection, and chronic nephritis caused from a change of such acute nephritis into a chronic state, and the like. Meanwhile, as a method for the therapy of renal diseases, there are presently known methods for maintaining renal functions depending upon the severity of the disease, such as rest therapy, alimentary therapy, pharmacological therapy, hemodialysis, and kidney transplantation. The above hemodialysis therapy is considered to be a final treatment for renal diseases. In this therapy, however, wastes retained in the body due to a renal dysfunction are only eliminated from the blood, and the renal function is not improved. A patient would be required to have hemodialysis treatment for the rest of his or her life. Furthermore, in most cases, the patient would die finally from suffering from a complication such as cardiac failure, infection, etc. On the other hand, as pharmacological therapy, at present, there are employed treatments using diuretics, immunosuppressants, adrenocorticosteroids, etc., and treatments using mannitol, lactulose, etc. However, these are all symptomatic, and the effects of these treatments are low. A patient actually receives alimentary and rest therapy. For example, diuretics are under a trial use as a therapeutical preparation for renal diseases. However, it does not restore the decreased renal function. At present, therefore, it cannot be said that a medicament which is satisfactory as a therapeutical preparation against renal diseases is available, and it has been desired to develop a medicament having further efficacy. JP-A-1228975 describes a benzothiazine-1,1-dioxide derivative, its production and medical composition containing same. The compound 4-hydroxy-2-methyl-N-(2'-tetrazol-5'-yl-phenyl)-2H-1,2-benzothiazine-3-carboxamide -1,1-dioxide is described having an activity of inhibiting hyaluronidase. It is used as an anti-inflammatory or antiallergic agent. WO-A-9009794 describes a remedy for diabetes comprising a thiazine-1,1-dioxide derivative as active ingredient. It is a first object of the present invention to provide a therapeutical preparation for renal diseases, which exhibits excellent therapeutical effects on a wide range of renal diseases. (2) It is known that the administration of a carcinostatic or other medicament causes vomiting, nausea, anorexia, stomach contraction, etc. And, antiemetics of various types have been conventionally developed and are clinically used. Of these, antiemetics of domperidone type have teratogenesis and disorder in endocrine function of diencephalon as a side effect. Metoclopramide, etc., are also drugs classiffied as a drastic drug, and these require various cares in clinical use. The effect of these antiemetics on inhibition of vomiting and nausea is very low. It is a second object of the present invention to provide a therapeutic preparation for a digestive organ, which can cure vomiting, nausea, anorexia, stomach contraction, etc., when a carcinostatic or other medicament is administered. The present inventors have made a study to achieve the above first and second objects of the present invention, and found that the specific thiazine-1,1-dioxide derivative described below has a therapeutical effect on renal diseases and has a therapeutical effect on digestive organ inflammations.

In general, however, the preparation of the present invention can be administered at such a dose that the amount of the thiazine-1,1-dioxide derivative as an active component is 10 to 1,000 mg/kg/day, whereby the desired effects can be obtained. The following are Examples of the present invention. Example 1 Preparation of thiazine-1,1-dioxide derivative 6 Parts by weight of 4-hydroxy-2-methyl-3-methoxycarbonyl-2H-1,2-benzothiazine-1,1-dioxide and 3.6 parts by weight of 2-(1H-tetrazol-5-yl)aniline were mixed with each other, and the resultant mixture was condensed by refluxing it in 100 parts by weight of o-xylene under heat for 24 hours. While the resultant reaction mixture was hot, impurities were removed by filtration, and the filtrate was washed with o-xylene. The filtrate was subjected to recrystallization from dioxane-water to give a derivative of the general formula (I) in which R₁ is a hydrogen atom and Ar is a benzene ring, i.e. 4-hydroxy-2-methyl-N-(2-(1H-tetrazol-5-yl)phenyl)2H-1,2-benzothiazine-3-carboxamide-1,1-dioxide (to be referred to as HX-1920 hereinafter). Example 2 Effect on nephritis caused by cisplatin -1 Five female Fischer rats (5 weeks of age) per group were administered hypodermically with 2 mg/kg of cisplatin for 5 days, and at the same time, HX-1920 was administered orally in a dose of 50 mg or 150 mg/kg, or administered intraperitoneally in a dose of 10 or 30 mg/kg. Twenty-four hours after the final administration, the rats were sacrificed, and their blood urea nitrogen (BUN) and creatinine were measured. As shown in Table 1, in all of the administrations, the blood urea nitrogen tended to show a lower value. In particular, the intraperitoneal administration in a dose of 30 mg/kg showed a significant decrease (P<0.05), and the effect on the alleviation of renal dysfunctions was observed.

In both the administrations, the blood urea nitrogen (BUN) and creatinine measured 24 hours after the final administration tended to show lower values. In particular, the group to which 100 mg/kg had been administered showed a significant decrease, and the effect on the alleviation of renal dysfunctions was observed. Drug administration (mg/kg/day) BUN (mg/dl) Creatinine (mg/dl) Vehicle control group 61.5±10.4 1.28±0.23 HX-1920 administered groups 10 mg p.o. 51.1±16.5 1.15±0.29 100 mg p.o. 38.0±6.4 0.96±0.05 Example 4 Effect on nephritis caused by cisplatin - 3 Ten male ICR rats (8 weeks of age) per group were administered subcutaneously with 3 mg/kg of cisplatin for 4 days, and at the same, HX-1920 was orally administered in a dose of 100 mg/kg. Sixteen hours after the final administration, 5 rats of each group were measured for blood urea nitrogen (BUN), and the survival ratios of the remaining 5 rats of each group for the subsequent 5 days were examined. As shown in Table 3, due to the administration of HX-1920, BUN showed a low value. Thus, the effect of the administration of HX-1920 on the alleviation of renal dysfunctions was observed. Further, all of the rats of the vehicle control group died, whereas all of the five rats of the HX-1920 administered group survived. Drug administration (mg/kg/day) Number of rats (n) BUN (mg/dl) Survival ratio (%) Vehicle control group 5 206.4±35.4 0 HX-1920 administered groups 100 p.o. 5 78.3±45.7 100 Example 5 Effect on nephritis caused by cisplatin - 4 Six to seven female F344 rats per group weighing about 150 g, per group, were administered hypodermically in the dorsal portion with 1 mg/kg of cisplatin dissolved in a physiological saline solution once a day over 8 days. Twenty-four hours after the final administration of the cisplatin, the rats were anesthtized with ether, and the blood was collected from each rat, centrifuged and measured for blood urea nitrogen (BUN) and creatinine with an autoanalyzer Olympus AU-550. HX-1920 which was a substance to be tested was dissolved in a 2.5 % NaHCO₃, and the resultant solution was administered orally in a dose of 10 or 100 mg/kg over 8 days immediately before the administration of the cisplatin. The results are shown in Table 4. As compared with the group to which no cisplatin was administered, the vehicle control group to which the cisplatin had been administered showed a significant increase in BUN and creatinine. As compared with this increase, the administration of HX-1920 in a dose of 10 mg/kg did not exhibit clear inhibition activity. However, the administration thereof in a dose of 100 mg/kg exhibited inhibition activities of 38 % in BUN and 25 % in creatinine. The increases in BUN and creatinine by the administration of cisplatin are considered to be characteristics in acute renal failure. HX-1920 exhibited the inhibition activity against the increases in BUN and creatinine induced by cisplatin, which shows that HX-1920 has usefulness against renal dysfunctions caused by cisplatin.

HX-1920 in a dose of 20 mg/kg was encapsulated and administered 30 minutes before the intravenous administration of cisplatin. Separately, Nauzelin (trade name, manufactured by Kyowa Hakko Kogyo Co., Ltd.), which was a domperidone type antiemetic, was administered to another group of five dogs in a dose of 2 mg/kg for 7 days. On the fifth day, the dogs of the vehicle control group and the Nauzelin administered group began to squat down with their abdominal portion on the floor, and then showed vomiting. The vomiting was cured after 24 hours. However, the same symptom was repeatedly manifested when cisplatin was administered. With regard to the HX-1920 administered group, a few dogs showed a slight vomiting symptom as shown in Table 5, however, the remaining dogs showed a normal state. Thus, the effect of HX-1920 on the alleviation of the vomit-inducing activity of the carcinostatic cisplatin was evident.

HX-1920, which was a substance to be tested, was dissolved in a 10 % Nikkol solution (Nikkol: trade name, dissolving aid manufactured by Nikko Chemical Co., Ltd.) containing 1 % NaHCO₃, and put into gelatin soft capsules, and the capsules were administered orally 30 minutes before the administration of cisplatin. In addition, as a known domperidone type antiemetic, a 1 % Nauzelin powder was put into gelatin soft capsules, and administered orally 30 minutes before the administration of cisplatin. As shown in the vehicle group, the vomiting was clearly observed on and after the fourth day after the administration of cisplatin, and on the 7th day, 17 out of 18 dogs showed vomiting (manifestation ratio 94.4 %). The Nauzelin administered group showed that Nauzelin was not effective against vomiting. However, in the HX-1920 administered group, the manifestation of vomiting was clearly inhibited as compared with the vehicle control group. These data show that HX-1920 is a useful compound for the inhibition of vomiting which is a side effect of the carcinostatic cisplatin.

The dose of HX-1920 for the intraperitoneal administration on the basis of the rat body weight was 10 mg/kg or 30 mg/kg, and that for the oral administration was 50 mg/kg or 150 mg/kg. For the cisplatin non-administered group and the cisplatin administered vehicle control group, 1 ml/day of a 1 % gum arabic solution was administered per rat. As a result, the groups to which HX-1920 had been administered showed that the diameter of the center of the stomach thereof measured a nearly normal value, and showed a clear significant difference from the cisplatin administered vehicle control group.
