The desired compounds of the present invention exhibit a potent antagonistic action on SRS-A.
It is generally considered that in allergic asthma and other atopic diseases of human or anaphylactic shock in animals, various chemical mediators are released from the lung and other tissues and cause difficulties in the living body, such as contraction of smooth muscles, e.g., bronchi, pulmonary artery, etc., and enhancement of vascular permeability in the skin. As such chemical mediators, there are histamine and SRS-A. Histamine plays an important role in guinea pig anaphylactic shock but not in allergic asthma in humans [Eiser, Pharmacol. Ther., 17, 239-250 (1982)]; whereas a number of evidences suggest that SRS-A is the most important chemical mediator of allergic asthma in humans [Brocklehurst, J. Physiol., 151, 416-435 (1960); Austen and Orange, Am. Rev. Resp. Dis., 112, 423-436 (1975); Adams and Lichtenstein , J. Immunol., 122, 555-562 (1979)].
The development of medicaments for prophylaxis, elimination and alleviation of hypersensitive reactions was performed, aiming at inhibiting the production and release of such chemical mediators or antagonizing the action of these chemical mediators. As an inhibitor of histamine release, disodium cromoglycate is well known and as an inhibitor of actions induced by histamine, various anti-histaminics are commercially available. On the other hand, SRS-A is known as a slow reactive and long acting chemical mediator while histamine is a rapid acting and short acting chemical mediator. It has recently been clarified that SRS-A is a mixture of Leukotrienes C.sub.4, D.sub.4 and E.sub.4, the structure of which have been determined by Samuelsson. SRS-A, namely, Leukotrienes are metabolites of polyvalent unsaturated fatty acids (in particular, arachidonic acid) with lipoxygenase and it has been reported that SRS-A has various activities such as acceleration of mucus secretion, reduction of mucociliary movement, coronary artery contraction, reduction of cardiac contraction, etc., in addition to the aforesaid action as chemical mediator in immediate hypersensitivity reactions. Accordingly, it has been desired to develop medicaments capable of inhibiting the production and release of SRS-A or antagonizing the effects of SRS-A.
The present inventors have extensively investigated medicaments capable of inhibiting the production and release of SRS-A or medicaments capable of antagonizing the effects of SRS-A. As a result, they have found that the compounds (I) of the present invention strongly antagonize SRS-A and have accomplished the present invention.
The compounds (I) of the present invention are useful as prophylaxis and treatment for various allergic diseases (for example, bronchial asthma, allergic rhinitis, urticaria) or, ischemic heart diseases, inflammation, etc. induced by SRS-A since the compounds strongly antagonize SRS-A as described above.
Further some of the compounds of the present invention exhibit an activity similar to that of SRS-A. It can be expected that such compounds having the SRS-A agonist activity can be used in treatment for intestinal tube paralysis and also effective as reagents for investigations of anti-SRS-A agents or SRS-A antagonists; in place of Leukotrienes that have been heretofore difficult to acquire in a stable form.
The compounds (I) of the present invention can be orally or perenterally administered safely as medical compositions [for example, tablets, capsules, powders, granules, pills, ointments, syrups, injections, inhalation, sapositories] as they are, or by mixing with known pharmaceutically acceptable carriers, excipients, etc. Dose may vary depending upon object to be administered, route for administration, condition, etc. but a daily dose is generally 0.1 to 500 mg, preferably 1 to 200 mg, for adult. The dose is orally or perenterally administered twice or three times a day.
The compounds of the present invention can be prepared, for example, by processes shown by the following reaction equations: ##STR10## wherein A, n, R.sub.1, X.sub.1, --B--, X.sub.2, Y.sub.1 and D have the same meaning as described hereinabove and the other symbols have the following meaning:

(1) Inhibition of SRS-A- and LTD.sub.4 -induced contractions of guinea-pig ileum and trachea
Method
Male Hartley guinea-pigs, weighing 500 to 700 g were sacrificed by a blow on the head. The ileum and tracheal strips prepared according to the method of Constantine (1965) were suspended with 1.0 g tension in an organ bath containing 10 ml of Tyrode solution equilibrated-with a mixture of 95% O.sub.2 and 5% CO.sub.2 at 37.degree. C. The tissues were equilibrated for 60 minutes; during this period the Tyrode solution was replaced every 15 minutes and the loading tension was adjusted to 1.0 g. The developed tension of the tissues was measured isometrically with a strain gauge transducer, and recorded on a Recticorder. Both the contractile response of the ileum to submaximal concentration of SRS-A (derived from guinea-pig lung) and tracheal response to 10.sup.-8 M LTD.sub.4 were recorded in the absence and then the presence of various concentrations of test compounds. The incubation time of the compounds was 20 minutes.
Results
The compounds of the present invention, e.g., compounds of Examples 23, 10, 18, 42, 40, 41 and 39, showed potent anti-SRS-A activity in isolated guinea-pig ileum (Table 1). Further, compounds of Examples 23, 40 and 39 inhibited the contractions induced by LTD.sub.4 in isolated guinea-pig trachea (Table 1).

(2) Inhibition of LTD.sub.4 -enhanced vascular permeability in guinea-pigs
Method
Male Hartley guinea-pigs weighing 270 to 305 g, starved for 16 hours, were intradermally injected with 5 ng LTD.sub.4 in a volume of 0.1 ml into two sites on the shaved back. In addition, 0.1 ml of vehicle was injected intradermally in each animal to see non-specific irritation. One ml of saline containing 1% Evans value was intravenously injected 2 minutes before LTD.sub.4 injection. The leaked dye at the site of LTD.sub.4 or vehicle injection was extracted according to the method of Harada et al. (1971) and measured photometrically at 620 nm. The LTD.sub.4 -induced skin reaction was expressed as a difference in the amount of dye between LTD.sub.4 and vehicle. Test compounds were orally administered 30 minutes before LTD.sub.4 injection.
Results
Compounds of Examples 23, 39 and 40 dose-dependently inhibited the LTD.sub.4 -enhanced vascular permeability in guinea-pigs; their ED.sub.50 were 22.8, 36.1 and 5.5 mg/kg p.o., respectively. These results indicate that Compounds of Examples 23, 39 and 40 show potent anti-Leukotriene effect by oral route.
(3) Acute Toxicity in Rats
Male Fischer 344 rats 7 week old were used. Compounds of Examples 39 and 40 at 1000 mg/kg p.o. caused no toxic effect upon the rats during the observation period of 7 days.
