The prior art is illustrated in particular by:
Chemical Abstracts 77, 126 572 w, which describes, among others, the compound of imidazo[1,2-c]quinazolin-one of formula: ##STR4## European Patent Application EP 53,767, which describes 2,3-dihydroimidazo[1,2-c]quinazolin-5-ones whose basic formula is: ##STR5## which are useful in the treatment of circulatory diseases, and Journal of Medicinal Chemistry vol. 18 no. 5, pp. 447-453 (1975) which describes compounds of 10H-imidazo[2,1-b]quinazolin-5-one, and particularly the compound of formula: ##STR6## having a bronchodilatory activity.
None of these references describes or suggests the subject of the present invention, that is to say compounds of general formula I, having the pharmacological profile described below.
The subject of the present invention is also a process for preparing compounds of general formula I which comprises,
a compound of general formula II: ##STR7## in which X and Y have the meanings defined above, being acted upon by a halogen compounds of general formula III: ##STR8## in which R.sub.1 and R.sub.2 have the meanings defined above and Hal represents a halogen atom such as, for example, an atom of bromine or chlorine, to obtain the compound of general formula Ia: ##STR9## in which X, Y, R.sub.1 and R.sub.2 have the meanings defined above; and the compound Ia thus obtained is treated with a base, such as sodium hydride, and then with an alkylating agent of general formula IV:
R'.sub.3 -Hal (IV)
in which:
R'.sub.3 represents:
a) an alkyl radical having 1 to 5 carbon atoms in straight- or branched-chain, optionally substituted by an aryl radical such as, for example, a phenyl radical itself optionally mono- or polysubstituted by an alkyl or alkoxy radical each having 1 to 5 carbon atoms in straight- or branched-chain, or
b) a radical of formula:
R--CO--A--
in which R and A have the meanings defined above; and Hal represents a halogen atom, to obtain the compound of general formula Ib: ##STR10## in which X, Y, R.sub.1, R.sub.2 and R'.sub.3 have the meanings defined above.
The process described above can be particularly suitably carried out by performing the reaction of the compounds II and III in a solvent such as, for example, dimethylformamide at a temperature between 25.degree. and 120.degree. C., which enables compounds Ia to be prepared in yields varying from 60 to 85%.
Compounds Ib are beneficially prepared by treating compound Ia with sodium hydride for 30 minutes at room temperature under an inert atmosphere in an aprotic dipolar solvent such as, for example, dimethylformamide.
Compounds of general formula Ia and Ib together form all the compounds of general formula I.
Starting materials of general formula II were prepared starting from anthranilonitrile, according to the process described in Rec. Trav. Chim. Pays-Bas 79, 443 (1960).
The starting materials of general formula III were obtained starting from the corresponding methyl ketones (which are commercially available) by halogenation in ether in the presence of an equivalent amount of halogen, at a temperature varying between 0.degree. and 25.degree. C. for a time between 30 and 120 minutes, depending on the nature of the starting ketone.
The .alpha.-bromomethyl ketone thus prepared, which corresponds to formula III, is used as such after washing the ether phase with a sodium bicarbonate solution, drying and evaporating the organic phase. When R.sub.1 represents a 3,4-dimethoxyphenyl radical and R.sub.2 a hydrogen atom, 3,4-dimethoxyphenacyl bromide precipitates in the reaction medium.
When R.sub.1 represents a benzoyl radical and R.sub.2 an atom of hydrogen, 3-bromo-1-phenyl-1,2-propanedione is prepared according to the process described in Helvetica Chimica Acta 29, 1247 (1946).
On the other hand, compounds of general formula Ib in which R'.sub.3 represents a radical of formula R--CO--A--, in which R is an alkoxy radical having 1 to 6 carbon atoms and A a straight- or branched-chain alkylene radical having 1 to 6 carbon atoms, can be hydrolyzed in an HHal/CH.sub.3 COOH medium to give the corresponding acids of general formula V: ##STR11## in which X, Y, R.sub.1, R.sub.2 and A have the meanings defined above, which acids, treated with oxalyl chloride in tetrahydrofuran at 50.degree.-60.degree. C., give the corresponding acyl chlorides which, without a purification step, are treated with an amine of formula: ##STR12## in which R' and R" have the meanings defined above, to give the compounds of general formula Ic: ##STR13## in which X, Y, R.sub.1, R.sub.2, A, R' and R" have the meanings defined above.
which compounds (Ic) are also included in general formula I.
The process for preparing the compounds (Ic) described above, is also included in the present invention.
The compounds of general formula I give salts with physiologically tolerated acids--salts which as such are included in the present invention.
The compounds of general formula I and their physiologically tolerated salts possess valuable pharmacological and therapeutic properties.
In particular, they are selective and specific ligands for peripheral-benzodiazepine receptors. Moreover, these compounds induce relaxation in the smooth muscle fibers situated in the blood vessels, kidneys, the bronchi, etc.
Consequently, the compounds of the present invention prove to be useful for treating acute anginal crisis, the prophylactic treatment of angina pectoris crisis and ischemia, the treatment of hypertension, of arteriosclerosis and of other hyperproliferative ailments, and the treatment of asthma. They are also useful in the treatment of anxiety, depression and immunological disorders.
The subject of the present invention is also pharmaceutical compositions containing as active principle a compound of general formula I or one of its physiologically tolerated salts, mixed or associated with an appropriate pharmaceutical excipient such as, for example, glucose, lactose, starch, talc, ethylcellulose, magnesium stearate or cocoa butter.
The pharmaceutical compositions thus obtained are generally in the form of measured doses, and can contain from 1 to 10 mg of active principle. They can take the form, for example, of tablets, pills, capsules, suppositories, injectable or orally administered solutions, and can, as appropriate, be administered orally, rectally or parenterally at a dosage of 1 to 10 mg one to two times per day.

EXAMPLE 4
Pharmacological Study
The action of the compounds of the present invention has been demonstrated from results of biochemical and physiological experiments. The specificity of action as well as the selectivity of the compounds studied with regard to so-called peripheral receptors for benzodiazepines have been demonstrated. The combination of the compounds studied with their receptor has been shown to have no notable pharmacological effect on the heart and the central nervous system and to be highly selective for coronary smooth muscle. The compounds studied induce a dose-dependent relaxation in smooth muscle precontracted by addition of PGF.sub.2.alpha.. The relaxation induced by the compounds of the present invention was evaluated in comparison with some reference products: efloxate, dipyridamole, R05-4864, PK 11195 and diazepam.
A) Materials and methods
All the products studied were dissolved in DMSO at a concentration of 10.sup.-2 M, then diluted to the desired concentrations in the experimental media. All of the ED.sub.20, ED.sub.50 and K.sub.0.5 values were corrected for the values obtained with DMSO under the same conditions of dilution.
1) Binding studies
Binding studies were carried out on microsomal fractions from the central nervous system of the rat, [KRUEGER B. K., RATZLAFF R. W., STRICHARTZ G. R. and BLAUSTEIN M. P., Saxitoxin binding to synaptosomes, membranes and solubilized binding sites from rat brain, J. Membrane Biol., 50, 287-310 (1979)] for the studies on the displacement of [.sup.3 H]-RO 151788 fixed specifically to the central receptors for benzodiazepines [MOHLER H., BURKARD W. P., KELLER H. H., RICHARDS J. G. and HAEFELY W.: Benzodiazepines antagonist RO-151788: binding characteristics and interaction with drug induced changes in dopamine turnover and cerebellar GMP levels. J. Neurochem., 37, 714-722 (1981)], and on microsomal fractions from rat heart [LOMBET A., RENAUD J. F., CHICHEPORTICHE R. and LAZDUNSKI M.: A cardiac tetrodotoxin binding component: biochemical identification, characterization and properties. Biochemistry, 20, 1279-1285 (1981)] for the studies on the displacement of [.sup.3 H]-PK 11195 and of R05-4864 fixed specifically to the so-called peripheral receptors for benzodiazepines [LE FUR G., VAUCHER N., PERRIER M. L., FLAMIER A., BENAVIDES J., RENAULT C., DUBROEUCQ M. C., GUEREMY C. and UZAN A.: Differentiation between two ligands for peripheral benzodiazepine binding site [.sup.3 H]-R05-4864 and [.sup.3 H]-PK 11195 by thermodynamic studies. Life Sci., 33, 449-457, (1983)]. The experiments on the displacement of different radio-labeled ligands by the reference molecules and the compounds of the present invention were each conducted under the standard conditions of binding mentioned above. In every case, after the time required for combination, the bound radioactivity was separated from the free component by filtration under vacuum on filter GF/C. The radioactivity remaining on the filters is then determined by counting in liquid scintillation.
2) Ionic fluxes
Influxes of Na.sup.+ via the Na.sup.+ channel, the function of which is dependent on membrane potential, via Na.sup.+ /H.sup.+ exchange, Na.sup.+ /K.sup.+ /2Cl.sup.- cotransport and the Na.sup.+ pump, were determined according to previously published protocols [FRELIN C., VIGNE P. and LAZDUNSKI M.: The role of the Na.sup.+ /H.sup.+ exchange in the regulation of the internal pH in cultured cardiac cells Eur. J. Biochem., 149, 1-4 (1985)--RENAUD J. F., Internal pH, Na.sup.+ and Ca.sup.2+ regulation by trimetazidine during cardiac cell acidosis. Cardiovasc. Drugs Ther, 1, 677-686 (1988)--FRELIN C., CHASSANDE O. and LAZDUNSKI M.: Biochemical characterization of the Na.sup.+ /K.sup.+ /2Cl.sup.- co-transport in chick cardiac cells. Biochem. Biophys. Res. Commun., 134, 326-331 (1986) and KAZAZOGLOU T., RENAUD J. F., ROSSI B. and LAZDUNSKI M.: Two classes of ouabain receptors in chick ventricular cardiac cells and their relation to (Na.sup.+, K.sup.+) ATPase inhibition, intracellular Na.sup.+ accumulation, Ca.sup.2+ influx and cardiotonic effect. J. Biol. Chem., 258, 12163-12170 (1983)] using cardiac cells. The influxes of Ca.sup.2+ via the slow Ca.sup.2+ channel and via Na.sup.+ /Ca.sup.2+ exchange were determined using a line of A.sub.7 r.sub.5 aortic cells from rats [GALIZZI J. P., QAR J., FOSSET M., VAN RENTERGHEM C. and LAZDUNSKI M.: Regulation of calcium channels in aortic muscle cells by protein kinase C activators (diacylglycerol and phorbol esters) and by peptides (vasopressin and bombesin) that stimulate phosphoinositide breakdown. J. Biol. Chem., 262, 6947-6950 (1987)], and cardiac cells [KAZAZOGLOU T., RENAUD J. F., ROSSI B. and LAZDUNSKI M.: Two classes of ouabain receptors in chick ventricular cardiac cells and their relation to (Na.sup.+, K.sup.+) ATPase inhibition, intracellular Na.sup.+ accumulation, Ca.sup.2+ influx and cardiotonic effect. J. Biol. Chem., 258, 12163-12170 (1983)], respectively.
3) Porcine coronary relaxation
Coronaries were taken on the heart of pigs (Yucatan mini pig), anesthetized under stresnil and pentobarbital. Proximal segments of the coronary were placed in an organ tank filled with Ringer solution at 37.degree. C. The segments were tightened progressively to a base tension of around 6 g and contracted by the addition of PGF.sub.2.alpha. at a concentration of 4.10.sup.-6 M. The potential of the products of the present invention to relax the coronary artery were then tested.
B) Results 1) Binding studies
This work was carried out by displacing RO 151788 fixed specifically on the central benzodiazepine receptors (rat central nervous system), as well as by displacing PK 11195 and R05-4864 fixed specifically on the peripheral benzodiazepine receptors from rat heart. These studies enabled us to pick out compounds exhibiting an excellent selectivity for the peripheral receptors with affinities between 10.sup.-7 M and 10.sup.-8 M (Table I). Good correlation was found between the values obtained for the displacement by the compounds of the present invention of the agonist and of the antagonist fixed specifically to the peripheral receptor site. Moreover these compounds were tested for possible interactions with receptors for adenosine (A.sub.1, A.sub.2), alpha-(.alpha..sub.1, .alpha..sub.2) and beta-adrenergic receptors, dopamine (D.sub.1, D.sub.2) receptors, serotonin (5HT.sub.1A, 5HT.sub.1B, 5HT.sub.2) receptors and GABA receptors. No significant interaction could be shown for any of the compounds examined.
2) Ion flux and ion transport
These studies were carried out on cardiac cells and smooth muscle cells in in vitro culture conditions. All compounds were shown to be inactive on the systems tested: Na.sup.+ channel; Ca.sup.2+ channel; Na.sup.+ /H.sup.+ exchange; Na.sup.+ /Ca.sup.2.sup.+ exchange; Na.sup.+ /K.sup.+ /2Cl.sup.- cotransport and the Na.sup.+ pump.
3) Porcine coronary relaxation
All of the compounds were tested for their capacity to relax the porcine coronary precontracted by PGF.sub.2.alpha.. The results obtained (Table II) show that there exists a good correlation between the level of relaxation obtained (ED.sub.50) and the values for 50% effect (K.sub.0.5) obtained after displacement of [.sup.3 H]-PK 11195 and of [.sup.3 H]-R05-4864 fixed specifically to the peripheral receptor.
The level of relaxation obtained as well as the 50% effect value (K.sub.0.5) obtained by displacement show that the compounds of Examples 10, 11, 17, 28 and 32 are particularly favorable.

C) Conclusions
The results above show that we are dealing with compounds which combine with the so-called peripheral sites for benzodiazepines and relax coronary smooth muscle. The selectivity of action of these compounds for the smooth muscle, and more particularly the vascular smooth muscle leads to important therapeutic application in the treatment of acute anginal crisis, the prophylactic treatment of angina pectoris crisis and postischemic treatment, in obliterative arteriosclerosis and peripheral vasodilation in bronchial diseases and asthma.
