The present invention relates to new 1,5-disubstituted 7a-methylperhydroinden-3a-ol derivatives, active on the cardiovascular system, to processes for their preparation and to pharmaceutical compositions containing same for the treatment of cardiovascular disorders, such as heart failure and hypertension.
Known 1,5-disubstituted 7a-methylperhydroinden-3a-ol derivatives, like prieurianin (Nakatani M. et al., Heterocycles, 1984, 22 (10), 2335; Lidert Z., J. Nat. Prod., 1985, 48(5), 843), hispidins (Pettit G. R. et al., J. Nat. Prod., 1983, 46(3), 379) and rohitukin derivatives (Lidert Z., J. Nat. Prod., 1985, 48(5), 843), are natural products, extracted from plants, with a perhydroindene skeleton, but different from the one concerning this invention as they present a trans junction and are substituted in position 1 with a 3-furyl and in position 5 with a five-, six- or seven membered lacton ring; moreover they present additional different groups in the other positions of the perhydroindene skeleton. Said compounds are reported to have in vitro antileukemic activity, not translated into in vivo antineoplastic effect, or insect antifeedant activity. None of these compounds is reported to have activity on the cardiovascular system. Also (1S,3aS,4S,7aR)-1-(2H-2-oxopyran-5-yl)-3a-hydroxy-4-�2-(5-hydroxy-2-methylphenyl)ethyl!-7a-methylperhydro-inden-5-one is known (Goerlich B., Planta Med., 1973, 23 (1), 39). It shows a perhydroindene skeleton with cis junction but is substituted in position 1, with a lactone ring, and in position 4 with another substituent; no pharmacological activities are reported for this compound.
Surprisingly the compounds of the present invention show good affinity for the Na.sup.+,K.sup.+ -ATPase receptor and activity on the cardiovascular system.

Compounds of general formula (I) prepared according to the invention and their pharmaceutically acceptable salts are useful agents for the treatment of cardiovascular disorders such as heart failure and hypertension.
Moreover said compounds (I) show good affinity for the receptor site of the Na.sup.+,K.sup.+ -ATPase and good inhibition of the said enzyme.
To test the affinity for the receptor site of the Na.sup.+,K.sup.+ -ATPase and the agonist or antagonist activity on the enzyme, the following tests were used:
a) displacement of the specific .sup.3 H-ouabain binding from the Na.sup.+,K.sup.+ -ATPase receptor purified according to Jorghensen (Jorghensen P., BBA, 1974, 356, 36) and Erdmann (Erdmann E. et al., Arzneim. Forsh., 1984, 34, 1314);
b) inhibition of the activity of the purified Na.sup.+,K.sup.+ -ATPase measured as % of hydrolysis of .sup.32 P-ATP in presence and in absence of the tested compound (Doucet A. et al., Am. J. Physiol., 1986, 251, F851)
Systolic blood pressure (SBP) and heart rate (HR) were measured, by the tail cuff method, in young prehypertensive male rats (MHS or SHR) strains before the development of hypertension (4 weeks of age) for recording the basal values of SBP. Groups of 7 rats were formed and subdivided in control and treated groups. The compound, suspended in Methocel 0.5% (w/v), was orally given daily for at least 5 weeks to the treated groups. The control group received only Methocel.
SBP and HR were measured weekly 6 and 24 hrs after treatment. After 5 weeks of treatment, when hypertension was fully developed in the control group (9 weeks of age), washout was started for at least one week, to verify whether the treatment maintained blood pressure low or reestablished the basal values.
The validity of this procedure for detecting an hypotensive activity, had been previously tested for .beta. blockers, which did not produce any hypotensive effect when acutely given to hypertensive rats (SHR), but were effective in preventing the development of hypertension when administered starting from weaning for more than 5 weeks. (Takeda K. et al., Japan J. Pharmacol. 1979, 29, 171; Takeda K. et al. Japan J. Pharmacol., 1982, 32, 283; Richer C. et al. Eur. J. Pharmacol, 1978, 47,393).
