The compounds enbraced by formula I may be prepared by the following methods:

Method A

By reacting an ester of 2,5-dihydro-4-hydroxy-1,2-thiazino[5,6-b]indole-3-carboxylic acid-1,1-dioxide of the formula ##STR3## wherein R.sub.1, R.sub.2 and Y have the same meanings as in formula I, and

R.sub.3 is alkyl of 1 to 8 carbon atoms, aralkyl of 7 to 10 carbon atoms or phenyl, with an aromatic amine of the formula NH.sub.2 -Ar (III) wherein Ar has the same meanings as in formula I.

The reaction is carried out in a suitable inert organic solvent, for example in an aromatic hydrocarbon such as benzene, toluene, xylene, chloro-benzene, o-dichlorobenzene or tetrahydronaphthalene, in dimethylformamide, dimethylacetamide or dimethylsulfoxide, in an ether such as dimethoxyethane, diethyleneglycol dimethyl ether or diphenyl ether, or also without a separate solvent in an excess of the amine. The reaction is carried out at a temperature of 60.degree. to 200.degree. C. Preferably, the reaction is carried out in toluene or xylene at the boiling point, where the alcohol which is formed is separated by azeotropic distillation or by heating under reflux, using a Soxhlett-extractor equipped with a molecular sieve. The pure product directly cristallizes out of the reaction mixture, or it is obtained by evaporation of the solvent or, when a water-miscible solvent is used, it is precipitated by addition of water. If 2-aminothiazole is used as the amine in the reaction, in order to avoid the decomposition of this amine, the reaction is preferably carried out in the presence of a catalytic amount of a boric acid trialkyl ester, such as boric acid tri-n-butyl ester, or of triphenylphosphine, or of a mixture of catalytic amounts of a boric acid trialkyl ester and triphenylphosphine, and/or in a nitrogen atmosphere.

Method B

Those compounds of the formula I wherein R.sub.1 is methyl or ethyl, and R.sub.x2, Y and Ar have the meanings previously defined, may also be prepared by reacting a 2,5-dihydro-4-hydroxy-1,2-thiazino[5,6-b]indole-3-carboxamide-1,1-dioxide of the formula ##STR4## wherein R.sub.2, Y and Ar have the same meanings as in formula I, with an alkyl halide of the formula

R.sub.1 ' - Hal (V) wherein R.sub.1 ' is methyl or ethyl, and Hal is halogen, in the presence of a base.

Examples of suitable bases are alkali metal or alkaline earth metal hydroxides, such as sodium hydroxide, potassium hydroxide or barium hydroxide; alkali metal or alkaline earth metal carbonates, such as sodium carbonate or potassium carbonate; alkali metal or alkaline earth metal alcoholates, such as sodium methylate, potassium ethylate or potassium tert. butylate; or tertiary amines; provided the reaction is carried out in an aqueous medium or in an alcoholic medium, such as in methanol, ethanol, n-propanol, isopropanol or mixtures of any two or more of these.

The alkyl halide, preferably an alkyl bromide or iodide, in alcoholic solution is added directly to the remaining components of the reaction mixture; in case methyl bromide is used, the reaction should be performed in a closed vessel.

Other suitable solvents are dimethylformamide, dimethylacetamide, dimethylsulfoxide and hexamethylphosphoric acid triamide.

If an alkali metal carbonate or alkaline earth metal carbonate is used as the base, aliphatic ketones such as acetone may also be used as solvents.

On the other hand, if the reaction is carried out in an inert organic solvent such as benzene or another aromatic hydrocarbon, or in tetrahydrofuran or another acyclic or cyclic ether, alkali metal hydrides or alkaline earth metal hydrides, such as sodium hydride, can be used as the base. In that case, the alkyl halide is added only after the reaction of the alkali metal hydride or alkaline earth metal hydride with the starting compound of the formula IV has gone to completion. The reaction temperature is from 0.degree. to 80.degree. C.

Method C

A compound of the formula I, wherein R.sub.1 is methyl or ethyl; Ar is phenyl which may be substituted by fluorine, chlorine, bromine, methyl, ethyl, trifluoromethyl or methoxy; and wherein R.sub.2 and Y have the meanings defined above, can also be prepared by reacting a 2,5-dihydro-1,2-thiazino[5,6-b]indole-4(3H)-one-1,1-dioxide of the formula ##STR5## wherein R.sub.1 ', R.sub.2 and Y have the meanings previously defined, with an isocyanate of the formula

Ar' - N .dbd. C .dbd. O (VII) wherein Ar' is phenyl which may have a fluoro, chloro, bromo, methyl, ethyl, trifluoromethyl or methoxy substituent attached thereto, in the presence of a base or of a Grignard reagent.

Suitable bases are tertiary amines, such as triethylamine, and 1,5-diazabicyclo[4,3-0]non-5-ene, but particularly preferred are alkali metal hydrides or alkaline earth metal hydrides, especially sodium hydride, which are used in equimolar amounts.

The reaction is advantageously performed in an inert organic solvent, for example in an aprotic organic solvent such as dimethylformamide, dimethylacetamide, dimethylsulfoxide, hexamethylphosphoric acid triamide, tetrahydrofuran, dioxane or an aromatic hydrocarbon such as benzene, at a temperature between room temperature and the boiling point of the particular solvent which is used, where the tertiary base as well as the isocyanate are preferably provided in excess over the stoichiometrically required amount.

This reaction is preferably carried out by dissolving the starting compound of the formula VI in the solvent, and then adding an equivalent amount of an alkali metal hydride or alkaline earth metal hydride and the isocyanate of the formula VII to the solution.

In those instances where a Grignard reagent, such as an alkyl magnesium halide is used, the reaction is also performed in an inert organic solvent, for example in an ether. Particularly suitable for this purpose are diethyl ether, dibutyl ether, tetrahydrofuran, anisole or mixtures of any two or more of these. The reaction temperature under these conditions is between -20.degree. and +150.degree. C., preferably between 0.degree. and 30.degree. C.

Method D

By reacting a 2,5-dihydro-4-hydroxy-1,2-thiazino[5,6-b]indole-3-carboxamide-1,1-dioxide of the formula ##STR6## wherein R.sub.1, R.sub.2 and Y have the same meanings as in formula I, and

R.sub.4 is hydrogen, alkyl of 1 to 8 carbon atoms, cycloalkyl of 3 to 10 carbon atoms, aralkyl of 7 to 10 carbon atoms or phenyl, with an aromatic amine of the formula III.

The reaction is advantageously performed in an inert organic solvent. Examples of suitable such solvents are aromatic hydrocarbons, such as benzene, toluene, xylene or o-dichloro-benzene; dimethylformamide; dimethylacetamide; dimethylsulfoxide; hexamethylphosphoric acid triamide; and ethers, such as dimethoxyethane, diethyleneglycol dimethyl ether or diphenyl ether. The reaction may, however, also be performed without a separate solvent by providing the aromatic amine reactant in sufficient excess. The reaction temperature is between 80.degree. and 200.degree. C.

The reaction is preferably performed in xylene at the boiling point in the presence of a catalytic amount of p-toluenesulfonic acid, and with an excess of the aromatic amine. The desired end product either crystallizes out of the reaction mixture by itself or is isolated by evaporating the solvent. If a water-miscible solvent is used, the reaction product may also be precipitated by addition of water to the reaction mixture.

Method E

A compound of the formula I wherein R.sub.1 is methyl or ethyl, and R.sub.2, Y and Ar have the meanings previously defined, may also be prepared by reacting an enamine-carboxylic acid halide of the formula ##STR7## wherein R.sub.1 ', R.sub.2 and Y have the meanings previously defined, Hal is halogen, preferably chlorine, and

R.sub.5 and R.sub.6 are each alkyl of 1 to 3 carbon atoms or, together with each other and the nitrogen atom to which they are attached, piperidino, pyrrolidino, morpholino or N'-methylpiperazino, with an aromatic amine of the formula III, and subsequently converting the intermediate enamine-carboxamide of the formula ##STR8## wherein R.sub.1 ', R.sub.2, Y, Ar, R.sub.5 and R.sub.6 have the meanings previously defined, into the desired end product by acid hydrolysis.

The reaction of the enamine acid halide of the formula IX with the amine of the formula III is carried out in an inert organic solvent, such as an aromatic hydrocarbon or an ether, at temperatures between -40.degree. C. and +80.degree. C., and optionally in the presence of a tertiary organic base, such as triethylamine.

For the subsequent hydrolysis, an enamine-carboxamide of the formula IXa is heated with an aqueous or aqueous-alcoholic solution of a strong or medium strong acid, for example a hydrohalic acid, phosphoric acid, sulfuric acid, methanesulfonic acid, p-toluenesulfonic acid, trifluoroacetic acid, or mixtures of any two or more of these. Hydrohalic acids, glacial acetic acid or mixtures of acetic acid and water are preferred.

The compounds of the formula I form salts with inorganic or organic bases. Examples of non-toxic, pharmacologically acceptable salts are those formed with alkali metal alcoholates, alkali metal hydroxides, alkaline earth metal hydroxides, trialkylammonium hydroxides and alkylamines.

The starting compounds of the formula II can be obtained, for example, starting from an alkyl 3-sulfamoylindole-2-carboxylate of the formula ##STR9## wherein R.sub.2 and Y have the meanings previously defined, and

R.sub.7 is lower alkyl, such as methyl or ethyl. For this purpose an ester of the formula X is reacted with an alcoholic alkali metal alcoholate solution, which yields an alkali metal salt of a 2H-isothiazolo[4,5-b]indole-3(4H)-one-1,1-dioxide of the formula ##STR10## wherein R.sub.2 and Y have the meanings previously defined. The alkali metal salt is then reacted with a haloacetic acid alkyl ester at a temperature of 100.degree.-150.degree. C. to form the corresponding ester of 3,4-dihydro-3-oxo-2H-isothiazolo[4,5-b]indole-2-acetic acid-1,1-dioxide, which is subsequently subjected to a base-catalyzed rearrangement reaction by treatment with 2 to 3 equivalents of an alkali metal alcoholate, followed by heating. After acidification of the reaction mixture, the corresponding ester of the formula II, wherein R.sub.1 is hydrogen, is obtained.

The compounds of the formula II wherein R.sub.1 is methyl or ethyl are obtained therefrom by alkylation with a methyl or ethyl halide in alcoholic or aqueous alcoholic solution, using one equivalent of an alkali metal hydroxide, or in an aprotic solvent, such as hexamethylphosphoric acid triamide, using one equivalent of an alkali metal hydride.

The starting compounds of the formula X wherein R.sub.2 and R.sub.7 are methyl, and Y is hydrogen, can be produced according to J. Szmuszkovicz [J. Org. Chem. 29, 178 (1964)]. Analoguously, the other compounds of the general formula X are obtained, starting from a known methyl or ethyl indole-2-carboxylate of the formula ##STR11## wherein R.sub.7 and Y have the meanings defined above by N-alkylation with a methyl or ethyl halide in a polar aprotic solvent, such as hexamethylposphoric acid triamide, using one equivalent of an alkali metal hydride, followed by reaction with thionyl chloride and aminolysis in a mixture of ether and liquid ammonia, and subsequent oxidation with potassium permanganate in aqueous acetone. The side-products of this oxidation are 2H-isothiazolo[4,5-b]indole-3(4H)-one-1,1-dioxides of the formula Xa, which can be converted, like the carboxylates of the formula X, into esters of 3,4-dihydro-3-oxo-2H-isothiazolo[4,5-b]indole-2-acetic acid-1,1-dioxide by treatment with an alcoholic alkali metal alcoholate-solution and subsequent heating in the presence of a halo-acetate.

The starting compounds of the formula IV are obtained from an ester of 2,5-dihydro-4-hydroxy-1,2-thiazino[5,6-b]-indole-3-carboxylic acid-1,1-dioxide by reaction with an amine of the formula III according to method A.

The starting compounds of the formula VI can, for example, be obtained from an alkali metal salt of a 2H-isothiazolo[4,5-b]-indole-3(4H)-one-1,1-dioxide of the formula Xa by reaction with a halo-acetone, such as chloroacetone, in dimethylsulfoxide and at a temperature of 100.degree. to 150.degree. C., to form a corresponding 2-acetonyl-2H-isothiazolo[4,5-b]indol-3(4H)-one-1,1-dioxide. This compound is then subjected to a base-catalyzed rearrangement reaction in the presence of 2 to 3 equivalents of an alkali metal alcoholate, which yields a 3-acetyl-2,5-dihydro-4-hydroxy-1,2-thiazino[5,6-b]-indole-1,1-dioxide of the formula ##STR12## wherein R.sub.2 and Y have the meanings defined above.

The acetyl derivates of the formula XII are treated in the presence of an acid and under anhydrous conditions with ethyleneglycol and form the ketals of the formula ##STR13## wherein R.sub.2 and Y have the meanings defined above. For example, 3-acetyl-2,5-dihydro-4-hydroxy-5-methyl-1,2-thiazino[5,6-b]indole-1,1-dioxide is refluxed with ethyleneglycol in benzene as a solvent and in the presence of p-toluenesulfonic acid as a catalyst for 5 days, which yields the ethylene ketal of 2,5-dihydro-5-methyl-1,2-thiazino[5,6-b]indole-4(3H)-one-1,1-dioxide.

The ketal of the formula XIIa is then alkylated with methyl iodide to form a compound of the formula IV wherein R.sub.1 ' is methyl or with ethyl iodide to obtain a compound of the formula VI wherein R.sub.1 ' is ethyl. The alkylation is performed in alcoholic or aqueous alcoholic solution, using one equivalent of an alkali metal hydroxide, and is followed by treatment with an acid, for example with aqueous alcoholic hydrochloric acid, whereby a 2,5-dihydro-1,2-thiazino[5,6-b]indole-4(3H)-one-1,1-dioxide of the formula VI is formed.

The starting compounds of the formula VIII can be obtained, for example, by reacting a 2,5-dihydro-1,2-thiazino[5,6-b]-indole-4(3H)-one-1,1-dioxide of the formula VI with an alkyl isocyanate, cycloalkyl isocyanate, aralkyl isocyanate or phenyl isocyanate according to method C to obtain a compound of the formula VIII where R.sub.4 is alkyl, cycloalkyl, aralkyl or phenyl.

If a starting compound of the formula VIII wherein R.sub.4 is hydrogen is to be obtained, an ester of 2,5-dihydro-4-hydroxy-1,2-thiazino[5,6-b]indole-3-carboxylic acid-1,1-dioxide of the formula II is reacted with ammonia.

The starting compounds of the formula IX can be obtained, for example, by reacting a 2,5-dihydro-1,2-thiazino[5,6-b]indole-4(3H)-one-1,1-dioxide of the formula VI with a secondary aliphatic amine of the formula ##STR14## wherein R.sub.5 and R.sub.6 have the meanings defined above, in an inert organic solvent, such as benzene or toluene, and optionally in the presence of an acid catalyst, such as p-toluenesulfonic acid, to form a compound of the formula ##STR15## wherein R.sub.1 ', R.sub.2, R.sub.5, R.sub.6 and Y have the meanings defined above, which is subsequently treated with phosgene, preferably in the presence of a tertiary organic base such as triethylamine, in an inert organic solvent such as tetrahydrofuran, at temperatures between -50.degree. C. and +50.degree. C. The enamine-carboxylic acid chloride of the formula IX is preferably used in method E without prior isolation.

(a) BORN-Test, Collagen-Induced Aggregation

The platelet aggregation was measured according to the method of BORN and CROSS (J. Physiol. 170, pp. 397 [1964]) in platelet-enriched plasma of healthy humans. The decrease in the optical density of the platelet suspension after addition of collagen was measured and registered photometrically. From the angle of inclination of the density curve the rate of aggregation can be determined. The point in the graph which showed the greatest light transmission, served for the measurement of the optical density. The quantity of collagen was chosen so that it produced an irreversible control curve.

The indicated values refer to the optical density and signify the percentage change in the light transmission (=% decrease in aggregation) under the influence of the test compound in comparision to the control.

Commercial collagen manufactured by Hormon-Chemie, Munich, Germany, was used.

The following table shows the results obtained from this test:
