and non-toxic, pharmacologically acceptable addition salts thereof.
The compounds embraced by formula I may be prepared by the following methods:
METHOD A
By reacting a compound of the formula ##STR4## wherein R.sub.1 and R.sub.2 have the meanings previously defined, with an inorganic or organic nitrite.
The reaction is advantageously performed in a suitable solvent, for instance with an inorganic nitrite such as sodium nitrite in water, water/methanol or water/dioxane, and in the presence of an acid such as hydrochloric, sulfuric or glacial acetic acid, but preferably in semi-concentrated hydrochloric acid as the solvent, or with an organic nitrite such as an ester of nitrous acid, for example ethyl nitrite or tert. butyl nitrite, in methanol, ethanol or dioxane, at low temperatures, for instance at temperatures between -10.degree. and 40.degree. C., but preferably at temperatures between 0.degree. and 25.degree. C.
METHOD B
By reacting a carboxylic acid of the formula ##STR5## wherein R.sub.1 and R.sub.2 have the meanings previously defined, or an anhydride, ester, thioester, amide, imidazolide or halide thereof, with hydrazine.
The reaction is advantageous carried out in a solvent such as methanol, ethanol, isopropanol, glacial acetic acid or propionic acid and/or in an excess of hydrazine or hydrazine hydrate at temperatures between 0.degree. and 200.degree. C., for instance at temperatures between 20.degree. and 150.degree. C., but preferably at the boiling point of the reaction mixture, and optionally in the presence of an acid such as sulfuric acid or p-toluenesulfonic acid as a condensation agent. However, the reaction may also be carried out without a solvent.
The compounds of the formula I wherein R.sub.2 is other than hydrogen comprise an optically active carbon atom in the 5-position of the pyridazinone ring and can be separated into their optically active enantiomers by cleavage of the racemates.
Cleavage of the racemates is advantageously effected by fractional crystallization of the corresponding salts with optionally active acids, such as tartaric, dibenzoyltartaric, malic, camphoric or camphorsulfonic acid, or by chromatography on optically active adsorbents.
The compounds embraced by formula I are basic and therefore form addition salts with inorganic or organic acids. Examples of non-toxic, pharmacologically acceptable acid addition salts are those formed with hydrochloric acid, hydrobromic acid, sulfuric acid, phosphoric acid, fumaric acid, succinic acid, lactic acid, citric acid, tartaric acid, maleic acid or the like.
The starting compounds of the formula II and III may be prepared by methods described in the literature. For example, a compound of the formula II is obtained by reacting a corresponding substituted 3-(nitroaminobenzoyl)-propionic acid ester with hydrazine and subsequently reducing the nitro group.
A compound of the formula III is obtained by reacting a compound of the formula ##STR6## with a malonic acid ester. The compound thus obtained is then hydrolyzed, decarboxylated and nitrated, the chlorine atom is replaced by a corresponding amino group, the resulting amino compound is optionally alkylated or acylated, the nitro group is reduced, and the resulting intermediate is cyclized with a nitrite to form the desired triazole.

The following examples illustrate the present invention and will enable others skilled in the art to understand it more completely. It should be understood, however, that the invention is not limited solely to the particular examples given below.

Determination of the thrombocyte aggregation according to Born and Cross [J. Physiol. 170, 397 (1964)]
The thrombocyte aggregation was determined in platelet-rich plasma from healthy human test subjects. The course of decrease in optical density after the administration of standard commercial collagen (made by the Sigma Co., St. Louis, Mo.) containing 1 mg of collagen fibrils per ml was measured photometrically and recorded. The rate of aggregation (V.sub.max) was deduced from the angle of inclination of the density curve. The point on the curve where there was most light transmittance was used to calculate the optical density (O.D.). To initiate maximum aggregation, about 0.01 ml of the collagen solution was added to 1 ml of platelet-rich plasma.
The following Table shows the results obtained:
______________________________________Compound EC.sub.50 in mol/liter______________________________________A 2.7 .times. 10.sup.-7B 2.8 .times. 10.sup.-7C 3.3 .times. 10.sup.-8D 4.1 .times. 10.sup.-8F 3.0 .times. 10.sup.-7G 5.1 .times. 10.sup.-8______________________________________

Determination of hypotensive and positive inotropic activity in the anesthetized cat
The tests were carried out on cats which had been anesthetized with sodium pentobarbital (40 mg/kg i.p.). The animals breathed spontaneously. The arterial blood pressure was measured in the aorta abdominalis using a Statham pressure transducer (P 23 Dc). To determine the positive inotropic effect, the pressure in the left ventricle of the heart was measured using a catheter-tip manometer (Milliar PC-350 A). From this, the contractility parameter (dp/dt.sub.max was obtained by means of an analog differentiator.
The test compounds were injected into a vena femoralis. Physiological saline solution or Polydiol 200 was used as the solvent. Each compound was tested on at least 3 cats in a dosage of 0.1 or 2.0 mg/kg i.v. The duration of activity of the test compounds was at least 45 minutes in each case.
The following Table contains the average values:

Acute toxicity
In therapeutic doses the test substances are non-toxic. For example, compound B has a peroral LD.sub.50 of >50 mg/kg in the mouse.
In view of their pharmacological properties, the compounds of the formula I, the optically active enantiomers thereof, and their non-toxic, pharmacologically acceptable addition salts with inorganic or organic acids are useful for the treatment of chronic cardiac insufficiency or angina pectoris and for the prophylaxis of arterial thromboembolism and arterial occlusion.
For pharmaceutical purpose the compounds of the present invention are administered to warm-blooded animals perorally, parenterally or rectally as active ingredients in customary pharmaceutical compositions, that is, compositions consisting essentially of an inert pharmaceutical carrier and an effective amount of the active ingredient, such as tablets, coated pills, capsules, wafers, powders, solutions, suspensions, emulsions, syrups, suppositories and the like. An effective amount of the compounds of the present inventions is from 0.14 to 0.71 mgm/kg, preferably 0.29 to 0.57 mgm/kg body weight i.v., and from 0.71 to 2.14 mgm/kg, preferably 1.07 to 1.43 mgm/kg body weight p.o., 1 to 4 times daily.
