The invention was based on the object of finding novel compounds with valuable properties, in particular those which can be used to produce pharmaceuticals.

It has been found that the compounds of the formula I and their salts, while being well tolerated, have very valuable pharmacological properties. In particular, they show endothelin receptor-antagonist properties and can therefore be used for controlling, e.g., treating or preventing, diseases such as hypertension, heart failure, coronary heart disease, renal, cerebral and myocardial ischaemia, renal insufficiency, cerebral infarct, subarachnoid haemorrhage, arteriosclerosis, pulmonary hypertension, inflammations, asthma, prostate hyperplasia, endotoxic shock and for complications after administration of substances such as, for example, cyclosporin, and also other illnesses associated with endothelin activities.

The compounds show, inter alia, a high affinity for the endothelin subreceptors ET.sub.A and ET.sub.B. These effects can be determined by customary in vitro or in vivo methods, such as described, for example, by P. D. Stein et al., J. Med. Chem. 37, 1994, 329-331 and E. Ohlstein et al., Proc. Natl. Acad. Sci. USA 91, 1994, 8052-8056.

A suitable method for determining the hypotensive effect is described, for example, by M. K. Bazil et al., J. Cardiovasc. Pharmacol. 22, 1993, 897-905 and J. Lange et al., Lab Animal 20, 1991, Appl. Note 1016.

The compounds of the formula I may have one or more chiral centers and therefore may occur in different stereoisomeric forms. Formula I embraces all these forms.

Accordingly, the invention relates in particular to those compounds of the formula I in which at least one of the said radicals has one of the meanings indicated above as preferred. Some of the preferred groups of compounds can be expressed by the following part-formulae Ia to Ig which correspond to the formula I and in which the undefined radicals have the meanings stated for formula I, but in which

in Ia --Y--Z-- is --NR.sup.7 --CO-- or --N.dbd.C (OR.sup.7)--; in Ib --Y--Z-- is --N.dbd.CR.sup.8 --; in Ic --Y--Z-- is --NR.sup.7 --CO-- and R.sup.2 is COOH; in Id --Y--Z-- is --NR.sup.7 --CO and Ar is a ##STR7## group; in Ie --Y--Z-- is --N.dbd.CR.sup.8, R.sup.8 is Ar and Ar is phenyl which is substituted once, twice or three times by R.sup.9, R.sup.10 or R.sup.11 ; in If --Y--Z-- is --NR.sup.7 --CO-- R.sup.7 is CH.sub.2 Ar and Ar is a ##STR8## group; in Ig --Y--Z-- is --N.dbd.CR.sup.8 -- Ar is a ##STR9## group and R.sup.8 is OAr.

The compounds of the formula I, and the starting materials for preparing them, are moreover prepared by methods known per se, as described in the literature (for example in the standard works such as Houben-Weyl, Methoden der organischen Chemie �Methods of organic chemistry!, Georg-Thieme-Verlag, Stuttgart; but especially in WO 94/14434), and specifically under reaction conditions which are known and suitable for the said reactions. It is moreover possible to make use of variants which are known per se but not mentioned in detail here.

The starting materials can, if required, also be formed in situ, so that they are not isolated from the reaction mixture but immediately further converted into the compounds of the formula I.

Compounds of the formula I can preferably be obtained by reacting compounds of the formula II with compounds of the formula III.

In the compounds of the formula III, Q is preferably Cl, Br, I or a reactively modified OH group such as alkylsulfonyloxy with 1-6 C atoms (preferably methylsulfonyloxy) or arylsulfonyloxy with 6-10 C atoms (preferably phenyl-or p-tolylsulfonyloxy).

The reaction takes place, preferably, in an inert solvent in the presence of an acid-binding agent, preferably an alkali metal or alkaline earth metal hydroxide, carbonate or bicarbonate or another salt of a weak acid of the alkali metals or alkaline earth metals, preferably of potassium, sodium, calcium or caesium. The addition of an organic base such as triethylamine, dimethylaniline, pyridine or quinoline or of an excess of the amide component of the formula II or of the alkylating derivative of the formula III may also be beneficial. The reaction time depends on the conditions used and is preferably from a few minutes to 14 days, and the reaction temperature is preferably from about 0.degree. C. to 150.degree. C., normally between 20.degree. and 130.degree..

Examples of suitable inert solvents are hydrocarbons such as hexane, petroleum ether, benzene, toluene or xylene; chlorinated hydrocarbons such as trichloroethylene, 1,2-dichloroethane, tetrachloro-methane, chloroform or dichloromethane; alcohols such as methanol, ethanol, isopropanol, n-propanol, n-butanol or tert-butanol; ethers such as diethyl ether, diisopropyl ether, tetrahydrofuran (THF) or dioxane; glycol ethers such as ethylene glycol monomethyl or monoethyl ether (methylglycol or ethylglycol), ethylene glycol dimethyl ether (diglyme); ketones such as acetone or butanone; amides such as acetamide, dimethylacetamide or dimethylformamide (DMF); nitriles such as acetonitrile; sulfoxides such as dimethyl sulfoxide (DMSO); carbon disulfide; carboxylic acids such as formic acid or acetic acid; nitro compounds such as nitromethane or nitrobenzene; esters such as ethyl acetate or mixtures of the said solvents.

The starting compounds of the formula II are, as a rule, novel. However, they can be prepared by methods known per se. Thus, for example, methyl 4-(1,3-benzodioxol-5-yl)-1,2-dihydro-2-oxoquinoline-3-carboxylate can be prepared by cyclization of the intermediate produced in the reaction of 1-amino-2-(3,4-methylenedioxybenzoyl)-4-ethoxybenzene and methyl chloroformylacetate in the presence of an inert solvent and of a base. This preferably takes place at temperatures from about 0.degree. C. and about 200.degree. C.; from 30.degree. C. to 80.degree. C. being particularly preferred. Suitable inert solvents and bases are those already mentioned above.

Compounds of the formula I can furthermore be obtained preferably by reacting compounds of the formula IV with compounds of the formula V.

In the compounds of the formula IV, Q is preferably Cl or Br, but also I.

In the compounds of the formula V, L and L' are preferably each, independently of one another, OH, methoxy, ethoxy, propoxy or isopropoxy.

The reaction takes place, preferably, in an inert solvent, in the presence of a base and of a noble metal catalyst. The reaction time depends on the conditions used and is preferably a few minutes to 14 days, and the reaction temperature is preferably from about 0.degree. C. to 150.degree. C., more preferably from 20.degree. C. to 130.degree. C.

Suitable inert solvents and bases are those already mentioned above.

Particularly preferred noble metal catalysts are palladium(0) catalysts such as tetrakis(triphenyl-phosphine)palladium(0).

The starting compounds of the formula IV are, as a rule, novel. However, they can be prepared by methods known per se. Thus, for example, methyl 2-chloro-4-(4-methoxyphenyl) quinoline-3-carboxylate can be prepared from methyl 1,2-dihydro-4-(4-methoxyphenyl)-2-oxoquino-line-3-carboxylate with POCl.sub.3. This preferably takes place at temperatures from about 0.degree. C. to about 200.degree. C.; from 30.degree. C. and 80.degree. C. is particularly preferred.

Compounds of the formula I can furthermore preferably be obtained by reacting compounds of the formula IV with compounds of the formula VI.

In the compounds of the formula IV, Q is preferably Cl, Br, I or a reactively modified OH group.

The reaction takes place, preferably, in an inert solvent and with the addition of one of the abovementioned bases.

It is furthermore possible to convert a compound of the formula I into another compound of the formula I by converting one or more radical(s) R.sup.1, R.sup.2, R.sup.3, R.sup.4 and/or R.sup.5 into one or more other radicals R.sup.1, R.sup.2, R.sup.3, R.sup.4 and/or R.sup.5, for example by reducing nitro groups, for example by hydrogenation on Raney nickel or Pd/carbon, in an inert solvent such as methanol or ethanol, to amino groups and/or converting an ester group into a carboxy group and/or converting an amino group by reductive amination into an alkylated amine, and/or esterifying carboxyl groups by reaction with alcohols.

It is furthermore possible for free amino groups to be acylated in a conventional way with an acid chloride or anhydride or to be alkylated with an unsubstituted or substituted alkyl halide, preferably in an inert solvent such as dichloromethane or THF and/or in the presence of a base such as triethylamine or pyridine at temperatures preferably from about -60.degree. C. to +30.degree. C.

If required, a functionally modified amino and/or hydroxyl group in a compound of the formula I can be liberated by solvolysis or hydrogenolysis by conventional methods. For example, a compound of the formula I which comprises an NHCOR.sup.6 or COOR.sup.6 group can be converted into the corresponding compound of the formula I which instead comprises an NH.sub.2 or HOOC group. COOR.sup.6 groups can be hydrolyzed, for example, with NaOH or KOH in water, water/THF or water/dioxane at temperatures preferably from about 0.degree. C. to 100.degree. C.

A base of the formula I can be converted with an acid into the relevant acid addition salt, for example by reacting equivalent amounts of the base and of the acid in an inert solvent such as ethanol and then evaporating. Particularly suitable acids for this reaction are those which afford physiologically acceptable salts. It is thus possible to use inorganic acids, for example sulfuric acid, nitric acid, hydrohalic acids such as hydrochloric acid or hydrobromic acid, phosphoric acids such as orthophosphoric acid, sulfamic acid, furthermore organic acids, especially aliphatic, alicyclic, araliphatic, aromatic or heterocyclic mono-or polybasic carboxylic, sulfonic or sulfuric acids, for example formic acid, acetic acid, propionic acid, pivalic acid, diethylacetic acid, malonic acid, succinic acid, pimelic acid, fumaric acid, maleic acid, lactic acid, tartaric acid, malic acid, citric acid, gluconic acid, ascorbic acid, nicotinic acid, isonicotinic acid, methane-or ethanesulfonic acid, ethanedisulfonic acid, 2-hydroxyethanesulfonic acid, benzenesulfonic acid, p-toluenesulfonic acid, naphthalenemono-and disulfonic acids, laurylsulfuric acid. Salts with physiologically unacceptable acids, for example picrates, can be used for isolation and/or purification of the compounds of the formula I.

On the other hand, compounds of the formula I can be converted with bases (for example sodium or potassium hydroxide or carbonate) into the corresponding metal, in particular alkali metal or alkaline earth metal, or into the corresponding ammonium, salts.

The invention furthermore relates to the use of the compounds of the formula I and/or of their physiologically acceptable salts for the production of pharmaceutical compositions, in particular by non-chemical means. For this purpose they may be converted together with at least one solid, liquid and/or semiliquid vehicle or ancillary substance and, if appropriate, in combination with one or more other active substances into a suitable dosage form.

The invention furthermore relates to pharmaceutical compositions comprising at least one compound of the formula I and/or one of its physiologically acceptable salts.

These compositions can be used as pharmaceuticals in human or veterinary medicine. Suitable vehicles are organic or inorganic substances which are suitable for enteral (for example oral), parenteral or topical administration and do not react with the novel compounds, for example water, vegetable oils, benzyl alcohols, alkylene glycols, polyethylene glycols, glycerol triacetate, gelatin, carbohydrates such as lactose or starch, magnesium stearate, talc, petrolatum. Used for oral administration are, in particular, tablets, pills, coated tablets, capsules, powders, granules, syrups, solutions or drops, for rectal administration are suppositories, for parenteral administration are solutions, preferably oily or aqueous solutions, furthermore suspensions, emulsions or implants, for topical administration are ointments, creams or dusting powders. The novel compounds can also be lyophilized, and the resulting lyophilisates can be used, for example, to produce injection products. The stated compositions can be sterilized and/or comprise ancillary substances such as lubricants, preservatives, stabilizers and/or wetting agents, emulsifiers, salts to influence the osmotic pressure, buffer substances, colorants, flavourings and/or several other active substances, for example one or more vitamins.

Compounds of the formula I and their physiologically acceptable salts can be used to control diseases, in particular hypertension and heart failure.

This entails the substances according to the invention being administered preferably in dosages from about 1 to 500 mg, in particular between 5 to 100 mg per dose unit. The daily dose is preferably from about 0.02 to 10 mg/kg of body weight. However, the specific dose for each patient depends on a wide variety of factors, for example on the activity of the specific compound employed, the age, body weight, general state of health, sex, on the diet, on the time and route of administration, on the rate of excretion, medicinal substance combination and severity of a particular disorder for which the therapy is applied. Oral administration is preferred.

Although the compounds belong to a new class of substances, they may be administered, for example, in a manner and in dosage amounts analogous to ACE inhibitors such a captopril or enalapril.

All temperatures are stated hereinbefore and hereinafter in .degree.C. In the following examples, "usual working up" means: if necessary, water is added, if necessary, depending on the constitution of the final product, the pH is adjusted to between 2 and 10, extraction is carried out with ethyl acetate or dichloromethane, the organic phase is separated off, dried over sodium sulfate and evaporated, and purification is carried out by chromatography on silica gel, also with separation of the isomers described hereinafter, and/or by crystallization.
