Wistar male rats weighing 150 to 300 g were used after they were fasted for 18 hours. A test compound or saline (control) was orally administered to rats and urine was collected for 6 hours. The test was performed using 3 groups per the test compound, and each group consists of 3 animals.

(3) Effect on Renal Protecting Activity (Glycerol-induced Renal Deficient Model)

Renal insufficiency is the condition that homeostasis of body fluid failed to maintain by disorder of renal function. It is well known that subcutaneous or intramuscular administration of glycerol to rat induce acute renal insufficiency characterized by renal tubular disturbance [Can J. Physiol. Pharmacol., 65, 42 (1987)].

Wistar male rats (fasted both food and water for 18 hours) were used. A test compound or saline (control) was intraperitoneally administered (dose: 10 mg/kg) to rats. After 30 minutes rats were anesthesized with ether and the back skin was picked up and 0.8 ml/100 g of 50% glycerol was subcutaneously administered. 24 hours after the glycerol injection, the rats were anesthesized with ether and 5 ml of the blood was collected from the descending aorta. To obtain the serum, after allowing it to stand for 30 minutes or longer, the blood sample was centrifuged at 3000 rpm for 10 minutes. Creatinine in the serum sample was determined using autoanalyzer (AU510, Olympus) or clinical analysis kit of creatinine (Creatinine Test Wako; by Wako Pure Chemical Ind., Japan). Urea nitrogen in the serum was determined using autoanalyzer (AU510; made by Olympus Optical Co., Ltd, Japan) or clinical analysis kit of urea nitrogen (Urea nitrogen test wako; by Wako Pure Chemical Ind., Japan).

The results are shown in Table 4.

Further, the left kidneys of test compound-treated groups and control groups were taken out from the animals and the kidneys were prepared for pathological sample.

As the result of pathologic autopsy for kidneys, it was indicated that the renal insufficiency was improved by the test compounds as shown in Table 4.

(4) Effects on Passive Schultz-Dale Reaction (Bronchodilatory Effects)

Guinea pigs were passively sensitized as follows. Hartley male guinea pigs weighing 350 to 500 g were injected intraperitoneally with rabbit anti-egg albumin (EWA) serum prepared by the method of Koda et al. [Folia pharmacol., Japon 66, 237, (1970)]. After 24 hours, the guinea pigs were stunned and exsanguinated, and then trachea was excised. The zig-zag strips of the trachea were prepared by the method of Emmerson and Mackay [J. Pharm. Pharmacol., 31, 798, (1979)]. The strips were suspended in Krebs-Henseleit solution at 37.degree. C. under aeration of a mixed gas of 95% oxygen and 5% carbon dioxide, and incubated for one hour. Antigen (EWA) was then introduced in the solution (final concentration; 1 .mu.g/ml), and the contraction was measured by isotonictrasducer (TD-112s, made by Nihon Kohden K.K., Japan) and recorded on a recorder (Type 3066, made by Yokogawa-Hokushin Denki, K.K. Japan). After the contraction curves reached plateau the compounds were successively added in order to get cumulative concentration-relaxation curves. Concentration of 50% relaxation rate (IC50) was calculated from the regression line, which was obtained from cumulative concentration-relaxation curves.

The results are shown in Table 5.

(5) Inhibition Effect on Platelet Activating Factor (PAF)-induced Mortality

The experiment was performed by a minor modification of method of Carlson et al. [Agents and Actions, 21, 379 (1987)]. Groups each consisting of 10 male dd mice (weighing 28 to 32 g) were used, and 100 mg/kg of test compound or a saline (control) was orally administrated. One hour after the administration of test compound, 40 .mu.g/kg of PAF (manufactured by Avanti Polar Lipids Co., Ltd.) was intravenously administered. Two hours after PAF injection, the mortality rate of the animals was observed. The compound whose mortality rate was significantly (p<0.05: Fischer's accurate probability tests) lower than control is regarded as having inhibitory effect on PAF-induced mortality, and the results in Table 5 were represented by minimum effective dose (MED).

(6) Effects on Experimental Asthma

Guinea pigs were passively sensitized as follows. Hartley male guinea pigs weighing 350 to 500 g were intraperitoneally injected with 1 ml of rabbit anti-egg alubmin (EWA) serum prepared by the method of Koda et al. [Folia pharmacol., Japon, 66, 237 (1970)]. The animals were treated with intraperitoneal injection of diphenhydramine (20 mg/kg) and propranolol (5 mg/kg), 30 minutes before administration of test compounds. 17 hours after the sensitization, the test compounds (50 mg/kg) or saline (control) were orally administered to sensitized animals. After one hour from the administration of the test compounds, the guinea pigs were placed in plastic observation box and were exposed to an aerosal antigen of 1.5% EWA.

The time until the onset of respiratory distress-like symptom [collapse time (second)] was measured as a result of experimental asthma.

The results are shown in Table 6.

2-Benzylthio-1-methyl-9-trityl-1,7-dihydro-6H-purin-6-one (Compound p)

After 500 mg (0.10 mmol) of Compound o obtained in Reference Example 14 was dissolved in 20 ml of tetrahydrofuran, 0.08 g (0.20 mmol) of 60% sodium hydroxide was added to the solution under ice cooling. After 30 minutes, 0.125 ml (0.20 mmol) of methyliodide was added, and the mixture was stirred for 2 hours at 50.degree. C. The solvent was evaporated under reduced pressure, and water was added to the residue. The mixture was extracted with chloroform, and the extract was washed with a saturated aqueous sodium chloride, dried over anhydrous sodium sulfate and filtered. The solvent was evaporated under reduced pressure, and the residue was purified by silicagelcolumchromatography (eluent: chloroform) to afford 300 mg (yield, 58%) of Compound p as a white powder.
