Description

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION
1. Field of the Invention:
This invention relates to a novel 8-piperazinyl-1,7-naphthyridine derivative and more particularly, to a 8-piperazinyl-1,7-naphthyridine derivative useful as a medicine.
2. Description of the Background:
A number of 1,7-naphthyridine derivatives are known in the art. Among them, those having a medicinal effects are the one having an antihypertensive effect (U.S. Pat. No. 4,176,183) and the one having an insecticidal effect (Federal Republic of Germany Patent Application Laid-open No. 2,361,438). There is no other 1,7-naphthyridine derivative reported in the art which has any medicinal effect.
In these circumstances, the inventors had synthesized various 1,7-naphthyridine derivatives and detected their medicinal effects, and found that specific 1,7-naphthyridine derivatives have an excellent medicinal effect. A patent was applied based on such a finding (Japanese Patent Application No. 67,875/1986).
SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION
The inventors have continued their efforts in synthesizing other various 1,7-naphthyridine derivatives and detecting their medicinal effects, and found that 8-piperazinyl-1,7-naphthyridine derivatives represented by the following formula (I): ##STR2## in which R represents a hydrogen atom, formyl group, acyl group, aroyl group, heteroaroyl group, substituted phenyl group, pyridyl group, aralkyl group or substituted or unsubstituted benzenesulfonyl group, have strong antiarrhythmic, cardiotonic, antiinflammatory and analgesic effects, and thus are effective for coronary disease, arthritis, lumbago, toothache and the like. Such findings have led to the completion of this invention.
Accordingly, an object of this invention is to provide a 8-piperazinyl-1,7-naphthyridine derivative represented by the above formula (I) and an acid adduct salt thereof.
The above and other objects, features and advantages of this invention will become apparent from the following description and the appended claim.

The reaction can be carried out by agitating the reaction mixture with a solvent in the presence of a base at room temperature to a reflux temperature of the solvent for several hours to several days.
The base to be employed may be an organic base such as triethylamine, pyridine and the like, or an inorganic base such as sodium hydroxide, potassium hydroxide and the like. The solvent may be methylene chloride, chloroform, tetrahydrofuran, dioxane and
The 8-piperazinyl-1,7-naphthyridine derivative (I) of this invention prepared as above may be converted, as required, into an inorganic salt such as hydrochloride, hydrobromide, sulfate and the like, or an organic salt such as maleate, fumarate, tartrate, citrate, methanesulfonate and the like.
Described below are the test results on medicinal effects of compounds of this invention prepared as illustrated in the above.
(1) Antiinflammatory effect
Wister rats (age 6 weeks), 5 of which consisted one group, were fasted for 18 hours and orally given a test compound which was dissolved or suspended in a 0.5% sodium carboxymethylcellulose (CMC-Na). Sixty (60) minutes after administration of the tested compound each rat was subcutaneously given 0.1 ml of 1% carragenin physiological saline at its right plantar, and 3 hours thereafter the volume of its foot (A) was measured. The rate of edematization was determined by the formula [(A-B)/B].times.100, in which (A) is the thus-obtained volume of animals foot and (B) denots the corresponding volume before administration of the compound (B).
The rate of edematization of controls which were subcutaneously given 0.1 ml of 1% carragenin physiological saline at their right plantars was also determined in the same manner. The rate of edema inhibition was determined on each of the tested compounds according to the following equation: ##EQU1##
The results are shown in Table 1, in which the compound numbers correspond those of Examples appearing hereinafter in this specification.

As is apparent from the above results, the compound (I) of this invention possesses a strong antiinflammatory effect and thus is useful as antiinflammatory drug.
(2) Antiarrhythmic effect
Mice, age 5 weeks and weighing approximately 25 g, 6 of which consisted one group, were given a test compound which was dissolved in a 0.01 N-0.1 N hydrochloric acid solution (ip). Ten (10) minutes thereafter the mice were put into a sealed container which was filled with chloroform, their chests were incised promptly after confirming the respiratory arrest, and the heart rate was counted. Those with a 1-200 per minute heart rate were judged as positive in their antiarrhythmic effect. The results are shown in Table 2.

(3) Cardiotonic effect
Hearts of Hartley male guinea pigs, weighing 500-800 g, were taken out and their atrium muscles were enucleated in Krebs - hydrogencarbonate solution, to serve the same as samples for the test. The both ends of right and left atrium muscles with a spontaneous beat were fixed by means of Serres fines, and suspended, with their upper and lower portions being fixed, in a bath containing 20 ml of Krebs - hydrogencarbonate solution which was aerated by 95% O.sub.2 +5% CO.sub.2 at 32.degree. C. Then contractive forces of the spontaneous beat were isometrically measured. After the samples were stabilized, the test compound dissolved in 1 N hydrochloric acid solution and diluted by physiological saline to a concentration of 10.sup.-5 g/ml was charged into the bath. Maximum changes (%) of the contractive force after charging the test compound per the value obtained immediately before the charge were determined. The values obtained, which respresent a positive inotropic effect, were made a standard for the cardiotonic effect.
The results are shown in Table 3.
