The above-mentioned radicals may, for example, be introduced

a. by reacting benzenesulfonyl-isocyanates, benzenesulfonyl-carbamic acid esters, benzenesulfonyl-thiolcarbamic acid esters, benzenesulfonyl ureas, benzenesulfonyl-semicarbazides or benzenesulfonyl-semicarbazones which are substituted in 4-position by the group ##SPC6## with an amine R' --NH.sub.2 or salts thereof, or reacting sulfonamides of the formula ##SPC7## or the salts thereof with R'-substituted isocyanates, carbamic acid esters, thiolcarbamic acid esters, carbamic acid halides or ureas; b. saponifying or hydrolyzing correspondingly substituted benzenesulfonyl-isourea ethers, benzenesulfonyl-isothiourea ethers, benzenesulfonyl-parabanic acids or benzenesulfonyl-haloformic acid amidines, c. replacing in benzenesulfonyl-thioureas substituted by the group ##SPC8## or in benzenesulfonyl-ureas or thioureas substituted by the group ##SPC9## the sulphur atom or sulphur atoms by an oxygen atom or oxygen atoms; d. adding water to benzenesulfonyl-carbodiimides correspondingly substituted by the group ##SPC10## e. oxidizing correspondingly substituted benzenesulfinyl-ureas or benzenesulfenyl ureas, or reacting correspondingly substituted benzenesulphinic acid halides; or in the presence of acid condensation agents, even correspondingly substituted sulphinic acids or alkali metal salts thereof with N -- R' -- N'-- hydroxy-ureas; f. introducing, optionally stepwise, in benzenesulfonyl-ureas of the formula ##SPC11## the radical ##SPC12## or g. reacting correspondingly substituted benzenesulfonyl-halides with R'-substituted ureas or alkali metal salts thereof and optionally treating the reaction products with alkaline agents to obtain salts.

This invention also relates to processes for the preparation of these benzenesulfonyl ureas which comprise

a. reacting benzenesulfonyl-isocyanates, benzenesulfonyl-carbamic acid esters, benzenesulfonyl-thiolcarbamic acid esters, benzenesulfonyl ureas, benzenesulfonyl-semicarbazides or benzenesulfonyl-semicarbazones which are substituted in 4-position by the group ##SPC13## with an amine R.sup.1 -NH.sub.2 or salts thereof, or reacting sulfonamides of the formula ##SPC14## or the salts thereof with R.sup.1 -substituted isocyanates, carbamic acid esters, thiolcarbamic acid esters, carbamic acid halides or ureas; b. saponifying or hydrolyzing correspondingly substituted benzenesulfonyl-isourea ethers, benzenesulfonyl-isothiourea ethers, benzenesulfonyl-parabanic acids or benzenesulfonyl-haloformic acid amidines, c. replacing in benzenesulfonyl-thioureas substituted by the group ##SPC15## or in the benzenesulfonyl-ureas or -thioureas substituted by the group ##SPC16## the sulphur atom or sulphur atoms by an oxygen atom or oxygen atoms; d. adding water to benzenesulfonyl-carbodiimides correspondingly substituted by the group ##SPC17## e. oxidizing correspondingly substituted benzenesulfinyl-ureas or benzenesulfenyl ureas, f. introducing optionally stepwise, in benzenesulfonyl-ureas of the formula ##SPC18## the radical ##SPC19## or g. reacting correspondingly substituted benzenesulfonyl-halides with R.sup.1 -substituted ureas or alkali metal salts thereof or reacting correspondingly substituted benzenesulfinic acid halides; or in the presence of acid condensation agents, correspondingly substituted-sulfinic acids or alkali metal salts thereof with N-R.sup.1 -N'-hydroxy-ureas; and, optionally treating the reaction products with alkaline agents to obtain salts.

The aforesaid benzenesulfonyl-carbamic acid esters or benzenesulfonyl-thiolcarbamic acid esters may carry in the alcoholic component an alkyl group or an aryl group or even a heterocyclic radical. Since this radical is split off during the reaction, its chemical constitution has no influence on the nature of the final product and may, therefore, be varied within wide limits. The same applies to N-R'-substituted carbamic acid esters and the corresponding thiocarbamic acid esters.

As carbamic acid halides, the chlorides are preferably used.

The benzenesulfonyl-ureas used as starting materials in the process of the present invention may be unsubstituted at the nitrogen atom of the urea molecule not joined to the sulfonyl group or may be mono- or especially di-substituted. Since these substituents are split off during the reaction with amines, their nature can be varied within wide limits. In addition to benzenesulfonyl-ureas which carry alkyl, aryl, acyl or heterocyclic substituents, there may also be used benzenesulfonyl-carbamoyl-imidazoles and similar compounds of bis(benzenesulfonyl)-ureas which may carry at one of the nitrogen atoms a further substituent, for example, a methyl group. For example, such bis-(benzenesulfonyl)-ureas or N-benzenesulfonly --N'--acyl-ureas may be treated with R'-substituted amines and the salts thus obtained may be heated to elevated temperatures, especially to above 100.degree.C.

Furthermore, it is possible to start from R'-substituted ureas or from R - substituted ureas which are mono- or, especially, di-substituted at the free nitrogen atom and to react them with benzenesulfonamides carrying the substituent ##SPC20## in 4-position, or the substituent ##SPC21##

in 4-position.

As starting materials, there may be used, for example, N-cyclohexyl-urea, the corresponding N'-acetyl, N'-nitro-, N'-cyclohexyl, N', N'-diphenyl (in which case the two phenyl radicals may also be substituted or be linked with each other either directly or by means of a bridge member such, for example, as --CH.sub.2 --, --NH--, --O--, or --S --) N'-methyl-N'-phenyl-, N',N'-dicycohexyl-ureas as well as cyclohexyl-carbamoyl-imidazoles, -pyrazoles or -triazoles as well as compounds which carry, instead of cyclohexyl, another substituent within the range of the above definition of R.sup.1.

The hydrolysis of the benzenesulfonyl-parabanic acids, benzenesulfonyl-isourea ethers, benzenesulfonyl isothiourea ethers or benzenesulfonyl-haloformic acid amidines mentioned as starting substances is suitably carried out in an alkaline medium. Isourea ethers may also be hydrolyzed successfully in an acid medium.

The replacement of the sulfur atom in the urea grouping of the correspondingly substituted benzenesulfonyl-thioureas by an oxygen atom can be effected in known manner, for example, with the aid of oxides or salts of heavy metals or with the use of oxidizing agents, such, for example, as hydrogen peroxide, sodium peroxide, nitrous acid or permanganates. The replacement of the sulfur atom in benzene-sulfonyl ureas and benzenesulfonylthioureas substituted by the group ##SPC22##

or the group ##SPC23## is advantageously carried out by means of oxidizing agents. The thioureas may also be desurphurized by treatment with phosgene or phosphorus pentachloride.

The chloroformic acid amidines or carbodiimides which can be obtained, for example, by desurphurization of the corresponding thioureas, may be converted into the benzenesulfonylureas by suitable measures such, for example, as by saponification or addition of water.

The manufacture of the benzenesulfonyl-ureas according to process (f) which may be carried out stepwise, can be effected, for example, in such a manner that 2-amino-benzamido-ethyl-benzenesulfonyl-ureas are prepared in usual manner,

advantageously by means of 2-nitro-benzamido-ethyl-benzenesulfonyl-ureas, and thereupon the ring is closed in suitable manner, for example, by the reaction with chloroformic acid alkyl ester, phosgene, formic acid, formaldehyde or urea to yield the reaction products of the general formula. As regards the reaction conditions, the manner of carrying out the process of the invention may in general, be varied within wide limits, and can be adapted to each individual case. For example, the reactions may be carried out with the use of solvents or without solvents, at room temperature or at an elevated temperature.

Depending on the nature of the starting substances, one or the other of the aforesaid methods may, in some cases, provide a desired individual benzenesulfonyl-urea only in a small yield or may be inappropriate for its synthesis. In such comparatively rare cases, the expert will have no difficulty in synthesizing the desired product according to one of the other methods of the process described.

The benzenesulfonyl-urea derivatives of the invention are valuable medicaments which have strong and long-lasting hypoglycemic action.

The hypoglycemic action of the products of the invention can be ascertained by administering them in the form of the sodium salts to normally fed rabbits in a dose of 10 mg/kg of body weight and determining the blood sugar level according to the known method of Hagedorn-Jensen or by means of an autoanalyzer for a prolonged period of time.

The benzenesulfonyl-ureas of the present invention are preferably used for the manufacture of orally administrable pharmaceutical preparations for the lowering of the blood sugar level in the treatment of diabetes mellitus, and may be used as such or in the form of their physiologically tolerable salts or in the presence of substances which cause salt formation. For the formation of salts, there may be used, for example, alkaline agents such as alkali metal- or alkaline earth metal hydroxides and alkali metal or alkaline earth metal carbonates or bicarbonates.

The present invention also provides pharmaceutical preparations for oral administration and lowering the blood sugar level in the treatment of diabetes mellitus, which comprises a compound of the above general formula (1) or (1') or a physiologically tolerable salt thereof in admixture or conjunction with a pharmaceutically suitable carrier.

The pharmaceutical preparations of the invention are preferably in the form of tablets and as pharmaceutically suitable carriers there may be mentioned, for example, talc, starch, lactose, tragacanth and magnesium stearate.

A pharmaceutical preparation, for example, a tablet or a powder, containing a benzenesulfonyl-urea of the invention or a physiologically tolerable salt thereof as the active substance, with or without one or more of the aforementioned carriers, is advantageously brought into a suitable dosage unit form. The dose chosen should comply with the activity of the benzene-sulfonyl-urea used and with the desired effect. Advantageously, the dosage per unit amounts to about 5 to 500 mg, preferably 10 to 100 mg, but considerably higher or lower dosage units may also be used, which, when required, are divided or multiplied prior to their administration.
