In carrying out the process according to the present invention, it is desirable to employ in each case about 1 to about 5, preferably 1 to 2, mols of the reactants of the formulae (IV), (V) or (VI) per 1 mol of the compound of the formula (III), and, in cases in which an acid is liberated, additionally to employ 1 to 10, preferably 1 to 2, mols of acid-binder. It is possible to deviate from the molar ratios mentioned, within wide ranges, without significantly impairing the result of the reaction.
In carrying out the process according to the present invention, the compound of formula (III) is usually dissolved or suspended in a diluent and the second reactant, of the formulae (IV), (V) or (VI), is added, in portions if appropriate, and together with the acid-binding agent, if used. The reactants can be added to the reaction vessel in any order. In most cases the end products of the formula (II) separate out in a crystalline form after a short time, if necessary after evaporation of the diluent. They can be isolated and purified according to customary methods, for example by recrystallization.

These 1,4-dioxo-benzo-1,2,4-triazin-1-yl ureas are produced by reacting ##STR12## wherein

R.sub.3 and R.sub.4 are as above defined at a temperature of between 0.degree. C. and 150.degree. C.
It is particularly surprising that the 1,4-dioxobenzo-1,2,4-triazin-1-yl ureas are produced by the above reaction since such was clearly not foreseeable or predictable from the prior art and one could not therefore determine whether compounds (IX) and (X) would react and, if so, in what way the compounds would react with each other. In the above process, it is not the usually rather reactive >N--O-- ring linkage in the compound of formula (IX) which is opened but, surprisingly, the --O--CO-- ring linkage.
According to the above process, the 1,4-dioxo-benzo-1,2,4-triazin-1-yl ureas of the present invention are produced in a smooth reaction, in excellent yields, and are highly pure.
If 2-oxo[1,2,4-oxa-diazolo(2,3-3,4)benzo-1,2,4-triazine]-5-N-oxide and dimethylamine are used as starting compounds according to the process above described, the course of the reaction may be represented by the following equation: ##STR14##

The excellent and broad antibacterial activity exhibited by the compounds of the present invention make them particularly useful not only in the treatment of but in the prevention of systemic and topical bacterial infections in both humans and animals.
The compounds of the present invention are also useful as feedstuff additives and are particularly useful for their growth promoting effect in animal-raising, especially in raising fatstock such as cattle, pigs and poultry. The present invention, therefore, also includes an animal feedstuff which comprises a nutritious material in combination with a growth promoting amount of a compound of the present invention. In addition, the compounds of the present invention may be administered in combination with drinking water to animals for their growth promoting effect and may also be used in fodder concentrates and in preparations which also contain vitamins and/or mineral salts.
Thus if desired, a fodder premix containing a compound of the present invention in a growth promoting amount can be combined with an ingestible diluent or carrier and the premix is then added to the fodder immediately before the fodder is distributed to the animals.
When the compounds of the present invention are administered to humans, an antimicrobially effective amount of the compound is combined with a pharmaceutically acceptable nontoxic inert diluent or carrier.
The pharmaceutical compositions of the present invention contain a major or minor amount e.g. 99.5% to 0.1%, preferably 95% to 0.5% of at least one benzo-1,2,4-triazine as above defined in combination with a pharmaceutically acceptable nontoxic, inert diluent or carrier, the carrier comprising one or more solid, semi-solid or liquid diluent, filler and formulation adjuvant which is nontoxic, inert and pharmaceutically acceptable. Such pharmaceutical compositions are preferably in dosage unit form; i.e., physically discrete units containing a predetermined amount of the drug corresponding to a fraction or multiple of the dose which is calculated to produce the desired therapeutic response. The dosage units can contain one, two, three, four or more single doses or, alternatively, one-half, third or fourth of a single dose. A single dose preferably contains an amount sufficient to produce the desired therapeutic effect upon administration at one application of one or more dosage units according to a predetermined dosage regimen, usually a whole, half, third or quarter of the daily dosage administered once, twice, three or four times a day. Other therapeutic agents can also be present.
Although the dosage and dosage regimen must in each case be carefully adjusted, utilizing sound professional judgment and considering the age, weight and condition of the recipient, the route of administration and the nature and gravity of the illness, generally the dosage will be from 5 to 150, and preferably 25 to 75, mg/kg of body weight per day. In some instances a sufficient therapeutic effect an be obtained at a lower dose while in others, a larger dose will be required.
Oral administration can be effected utilizing solid and liquid dosage unit forms such as powders, tablets, dragees, capsules, granulates, suspensions, solutions and the like.
Powders are prepared by comminuting the compound to a suitable fine size and mixing with a similarly comminuted pharmaceutical carrier such as an edible carbohydrate as for example starch, lactose, sucrose, glucose or mannitol. Sweetening, flavoring, preservative, dispersing and coloring agents can also be present.
Capsules are made by preparing a powder mixture as described above and filling formed gelatin sheaths. Glidants and lubricants such as colloidal silica, talc, magnesium stearate, calcium stearate or solid polyethylene glycol can be added to the powder mixture before the filling operation. A disintegrating or solubilizing agent such as agar-agar, calcium carbonate or sodium carbonate can also be added to improve the availability of the medicament when the capsule is ingested.
Tablets are formulated for example by preparing a powder mixture, granulating or slugging, adding a lubricant and disintegrant and pressing into tablets. A powder mixture is prepared by mixing the compound, suitably comminuted, with a diluent or base as described above, and optionally with a binder such as carboxymethyl, cellulose, an alginate, gelatin, or polyvinyl pyrrolidone, a solution retardant such as paraffin, a resorption accelerator such as a quaternary salt and/or an absorption agent such as bentonite, kaolin or dicalcium phosphate. The powder mixture can be granulated by wetting with a binder such as syrup, starch paste, acacia mucilage or solutions of cellulosic or polymeric materials and forcing through a screen. As an alternative to granulating, the powder mixture can be run through the tablet machine and the resulting imperfectly formed slugs broken into granules. The granules can be lubricated to prevent sticking to the tablet forming dies by means of the addition of stearic acid, a stearate salt, talc or mineral oil. The lubricated mixture is then compressed into tablets. The medicaments can also be combined with free flowing inert carriers and compressed into tablets directly without going through the granulating or slugging steps. A clear or opaque protective coating consisting of a sealing coat of shellac, a coating of sugar or polymeric material and a polish coating of wax can be provided. Dyestuffs can be added to these coatings to distinguish different unit dosages.
Oral fluids such as solutions, syrups and elixirs can be prepared in dosage unit form so that a given quantity contains a predetermined amount of the compound. Syrups can be prepared by dissolving the compound in a suitably flavored aqueous sucrose solution while elixirs are prepared through the use of a nontoxic alcoholic vehicle. Suspensions can be formulated by dispersing the compound in a nontoxic vehicle. Solubilizers and emulsifiers such as ethoxylated isostearyl alcohols and polyoxyethylene sorbitol esters, preservatives, flavor additives such as peppermint oil or saccharin, and the like can also be added.
Where appropriate, dosage unit formulations for oral administration can be microencapsulated. The formulation can also be prepared to prolong or sustain the release as for example by coating or embedding particulate material in polymers, wax or the like.
Parenteral administration can be effected utilizing liquid dosage unit forms such as sterile solutions and suspensions intended for subcutaneous, intramuscular or intravenous injection. These are prepared by suspending or dissolving a measured amount of the compound in a nontoxic liquid vehicle suitable for injection such as an aqueous or oleaginous medium and sterilizing the suspension or solution. Alternatively, a measured amount of the compound is placed in a vial and the vial and its contents are sterilized and sealed. An accompanying vial or vehicle can be provided for mixing prior to administration. Nontoxic salts and salt solutions can be added to render the injection isotonic. Stabilizers, preservatives and emulsifiers can also be added.
Rectal administration can be effected utilizing suppositories in which the compound is admixed with low melting water soluble or insoluble solids such as polyethylene glycol, cocoa butter, higher esters as for example myristyl palmitate, or mixtures thereof.
Topical administration can be effected utilizing solid dosage unit forms such as powders or liquid or semiliquid dosage unit forms such as solutions, suspensions, ointments, pastes, creams and gels. The powders are formulated utilizing such carriers as talc, bentonite, silicic acid, polyamide powder and the like. Liquid and semiliquid formulations can utilize such carriers, in addition to those described above, as polyethylene glycol, vegetable and mineral oils, alcohols such as isopropanol and the like. Other excipients such as emulsifiers, preservatives colorants, perfumes and the like can also be present. Formulations can also be administered as an aerosol, utilizing the usual propellants such as the chlorofluorohydrocarbons.
The preferred daily dose is 250 mg to 13.5 g, preferably 1.25 g to 6.75 g, of active ingredient.
In the case of compositions in topical application form, it is preferred that such compositions contain 0.01 to 10%, and preferably 0.1%, of active ingredient.
While the routes of administration include oral, parenteral (i.e., intramuscular, intraperitoneal, and intravenous), rectal, and topical, topical application is particularly preferred.

(4) IN VIVO EXPERIMENTS
12 white mice of strain CF.sub.1, which had been infected intraperitoneally each with about 1.5.times. 10.sup.8 Staphyloccus aureus organisms, were treated 30 minutes after the infection with 50 mg/kg of the compound from Example 13 in a single oral dose. All animals survived the infection after 24 hours. Of 12 un-treated control animals, no animals survived after 24 hours.
The following non-limitative examples more particularly point out and define the present invention:

EXAMPLE 1 ##STR19##
17.8 g (0.1 mol) of 3-amino-benzo-1,2,4-triazine-1,4-di-N-oxide and 15.1 g (0.12 mol) of dimethyl sulphate are suspended or dissolved, respectively, in 60 ml of dimethylformamide. A solution of 5.6 g (0.1 mol) of potassium hydroxide in 5 ml of water is added dropwise thereto. An exothermic reaction takes place and the 3-amino-benzo-1,2,4-triazine-1,4-di-N-oxide dissolves to give a blue color. After some time, the color changes to brown and orange-colored crystals separate out from the solution. 15 g (78% of theory) of 3-(N-methylamino)-benzo-1,2,4-triazine-1,4-di-N-oxide are obtained in the form of orange-colored crystals which after recrystallization from dimethylformamide/acetonitrile melt at 210.degree. C., with decomposition.

The following Example A illustrates the production of a starting compound of formula (II):
EXAMPLE A: ##STR30##
13.6 g (0.1 mol) of benzofuroxane are suspended in a mixture of 40 ml of methanol and 40 ml of H.sub.2 O at room temperature (about 20.degree.
