PHARMACOLOGICAL STUDY
1) Liaison With the Opiated Receptor K in vitro
Membrane residue prepared from the cerebella of guinea-pigs preserved at -30.degree. C. (possibly up to about 30 days) were used and these residues were suspended in Tris pH 7.7 buffer. Fractions of 2 ml were distributed in haemolysis tubes and 9.sup.3 H ethylketocyclazocine 1 nM was added together with the product to be studied. The product was first tested at 5.times.10.sup.-6 M (in triplicate). When the product tested displaced by more than 50% the radioactivity bonded specifically to the receptor, it was again tested in a range of 7 doses to determine the dose which inhibited by 50% the radioactivity bonded specifically to the receptor. In this way, the 50% inhibiting concentration was determined. The non-specific liaison was determined by addition of the product known by the name U-50488 H (Lahti et al. 1982, Life Sci. 31, 2257) at 10.sup.-5 M (in triplicate). It was then incubated at 25.degree. C. for 40 minutes, replaced on the water-bath at 0.degree. C. for 5 minutes, filtered under vacuum, rinsed with the Tris pH 7.7 buffer, and the radioactivity was counted in the presence of scintillating Trition.
The result was expressed in the following Table directly as 50% inhibiting concentration (IC.sub.50), (i.e., as the concentration of the product studied, expressed in nM, necessary to displace 50% of the specific radioactivity fixed on the receptor studied.

2) Analgesic Activity
Female mice weighing 22 to 24 g were placed one by one on a copper plate maintained at 56.degree. C. and the reaction to the pain was seen by the animal licking its front paws. The time of this reaction was noted and only the mice reacting in less than 8 seconds were retained. The animals were distributed in homogeneous groups and treated with the product under study administered orally, one group receiving only the vehicle. The time of reaction to the pain was again measured 30 to 60 minutes after the treatment. The active dose or AD.sub.100 was the dose which increased the reaction time by 100% 30 minutes after the treatment, taking account of the variation of the reaction times of the control animals. For the product of Example 1, the AD.sub.100 was 50 mg/kg.
3) Study of the Hypotensive Activity on the Anaesthetized Rat
Male Sprague Dawley (CR) rats were anaesthetized intraperitoneally with 60 mg/kg of sodium pentobarbital and a jugular vein was catheterized for injection of the product, and a carotid artery was catheterized to register the arterial pressure. The product under test was dissolved in 10% of ethanol and then was injected at a volume of 1 ml/kg. The pressure was noted at times of 5 minutes and 30 minutes after the injection of the product. The following Table indicates the variations expressed as a percentage of the arterial pressure after administration of the product under test to the arterial pressure of the initial control.

4) Measurement of the diuretic activity
Male rats of Sprague Dawley strain weighing 180 to 200 g were not fed for 17 hours before the test, but received water ad libitum. Groups of 8 animals were set up for each dose tested and the rats received the product under test or its vehicle orally. The urinary volume was measured every hour for the 5 hours following the administration of the product. At the end of this period, the urines were collected and the activity of the product was expressed as a percentage of variation calculated on the urinary volume corresponding to the period t.sub.1h -t.sub.5h. The following results were obtained:
______________________________________Product of dose percentage of variationexample mg/kg of the urinary volume______________________________________1 5 +1881 5 +1908 5 +130 2.5 +12414 5 +689 10 +74______________________________________
5) Anti-arrythmic activity in the rat
Male rats weighing 300 to 350 g anaesthetized intra-peritoneally with 1.20 g/kg of urethane were tracheotomized and submitted to artificial respiration (40 to 50 insufflations of 3 ml/minute). Needles were implanted sub-cutaneously to register the electro-cardiagram of the rats on the DII derivation signal. The product under test was administered intravenously and 5 minutes after the administration of the product, the jugular vein of the rats was perfused with 10 .mu.g/kg from 0.2 ml of an aconitine solution and the time of appearance of disturbances of the cardiac rhythm was noted. The results expressed as a percentage of the extension of the time of appearance of the disturbances of the cardiac rhythm in relation to the controls and as a function of the dose of the product tested are in the following Table which show that the tested products of the application are endowed with good anti-arrythmic properties.
