     DETAILED DESCRIPTION 
     The terms employed above have the following meanings and such meanings are retained throughout this specification. 
     The term &#34;lower alkyl&#34; includes a straight chain hydrocarbon of from 1 to 4 carbons or a branched chain hydrocarbon of 3 carbons, i.e. methyl, ethyl, n-propyl, i-propyl, and n-butyl. 
     The term &#34;lower alkoxy&#34; includes such &#34;lower alkyl&#34; radicals attached to an oxygen, i.e. --O-lower alkyl. 
     The term &#34;halogen&#34; includes chlorine, bromine, and fluorine with chlorine and bromine being preferred. 
     The term &#34;pharmaceutically acceptable salts&#34; includes the pharmaceutically acceptable acid-addition salts. Acids useful for preparing these salts include hydrohalic acids (e.g. hydrochloric and hydrobromic acid), sulfuric acid, nitric acid, and phosphoric acid, and organic acids such as maleic, fumaric, tartaric, citric, acetic, benzoic, 2-acetoxybenzoic, salicyclic, succinic, oxalic, and methanesulfonic acid. 
     The compounds of formula I and their pharmaceutically acceptable salts are prepared by reacting a 1,4-benzothiazin-3(4H)-one of the formula ##STR7## with a substituted benzaldehyde of the formula ##STR8## in an inert solvent such as dimethylformamide by heating at reflux temperature for several hours preferably in the presence of a base such as sodium methoxide. 
     The starting 1,4-benzothiazin-3(4H)-ones of formula II are prepared according to known methods as note for example U.S. Pat. No. 3,715, 353 of Krapcho. As taught in this patent an o-aminothiophenol of formula ##STR9## is heated with a haloacetic acid such as chloroacetic acid in the presence of about one equivalent of a base such as sodium hydroxide to yield the compound of formula II wherein R is hydrogen. This compound is then treated with a condensing agent such as sodium hydroxide, sodium amide, potassium t-butoxide, etc., in an inert solvent such as dimethylformamide followed by treatment with a sulfate or halide of the formula (R) 2  --SO 4  or R--halo wherein R is lower alkyl or ##STR10## and m and X 1  are as defined above to yield the 4 -substituted-1,4-benzothiazin-3(4H)-ones of formula II. 
     Similarly, the benzaldehydes of formula III are prepared by known methods as note for example U.S. Pat. No. 3,969,527 to Krapcho et al. As taught in this patent a hydroxy substituted benzaldehyde of formula ##STR11## is treated with an alkaline reagent such as sodium hydride to give the corresponding sodium salt which is treated with a halo compound of formula 
     
         halo--(CH.sub.2).sub.n --B                                 (VI) 
    
     wherein n and B are as defined above. 
     In preparing the compounds of formula I wherein either X or X 1  or both are amino, it is preferred to react the 1,4-benzothiazin-3(4H)-one of formula II wherein X or X 1  or both are nitro with the corresponding benzaldehyde of formula III and then chemical reduce the resulting nitro product as the last step in the synthesis. The preferred reducing agent for this purpose is stannous chloride. 
     The compounds of formula I including their pharmaceutically acceptable salts are useful in treating inflammation in various mammalian species, e.g. rats, dogs, cats, monkeys, etc. Joint tenderness and stiffness (in conditions such as rheumatoid arthritis) are relieved by the above described compounds. 
     The compound or mixture of compounds of formula I including their pharmaceutically acceptable salts can be used as antiinflammatory agents according to accepted pharmaceutical practice in oral dosage forms such as tablets, capsules, elixirs, or powders, or in an injectable form in a sterile aqueous vehicle prepared according to conventional pharmaceutical practice. The compounds of this invention may be administered in amounts ranging from about 1 mg./kg./day to about 70 mg./kg./day, preferably from about 1 mg./kg./day to about 35 mg./kg./day. A preferred unit dose for use in treating a 70 kg. mammal would contain from about 70 mg. to about 1000 mg. of active ingredient. 
    
    
     The following examples are illustrative of the invention and represent preferred embodiments. Other modifications may be readily produced by suitable variations of the reactants. All temperatures are in the centrigrade scale.

This mixture is heated at reflux temperature for 3 hours, cooled to room temperature, and poured into 500 ml. of cold water. The resulting oil is extracted twice with 200 ml. of ether. The ether solutions are combined and extracted with an equal volume of water, dried (MgSO 4 ), and concentrated to approximately half its volume during which time crystallization occurred. After cooling overnight, the product is filtered and washed with a small amount of cold hexane to yield 16.5 g. of yellow crystals; m.p. 81°-83°.
