Propenoic acid derivatives diazole propenoic acid compounds which have useful pharmaceutical utility

FIELD OF INDUSTRIAL APPLICATION
The present invention relates to a propenoic acid derivative or a pharmacologically acceptable salt thereof which is useful as a drug. More particularly, it relates to a propenoic acid derivative or a pharmacologically acceptable salt thereof which exhibits adenosine antagonism.
BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION AND PRIOR ART
A syndrome having oliguria, anuria, uremia and so forth as the main sign is called acute renal failure, which began to attract attention during the Second World War because it attacked people which had recovered from traumatic shock due to the air raid on London, and has come to the present state.
Although there are many causes of acute renal failure, it is believed that such failure is mainly caused by hemorrhage due to injury, surgical operation, aortic rupture or the like; diarrhea due to serious enteritis, infection with Salmonella or cholera, or the like; loss of water and/or electrolyte due to burn, continued vomiting, heat stroke or the like; hemolysis due to incompatible blood transfusion, hemoglobinuria or the like; angiopathy such as renal arterial thrombosis; infectious disease such as pneumonia, sepsis, acute hepatitis, pyelonephritis or candidiasis; allergy; anaphylaxis; influence of a carcinostatic agent such as cisplatin; urethral or ureteral obstruction due to prostatic hypertrophy or malignant tumor; urinary obstruction such as ureteral stone; or the like.
Further, a symptom of irreversible decrease in the number of nephrons is called chronic renal failure, and a patient with this failure cannot avoid dialysis with an advance in the symptom, suffering from physical and mental great agony. Additionally, the dialysis of a patient with chronic renal failure generally extends over a long period, so that his expense is also great. Further, it is apparent from the ratio of the number of dialyzers held in Japan to that of the patients necessitating dialysis that the dialyzers must now be worked without intermisission. Therefore, the fact that there are patients with serious acute renal failure who necessitate dialysis temporarily in addition to those with chronic renal failure is significantly problematic.
Under these circumstances, the prevention of the symptom of renal failure from reaching a stage necessitating dialysis has become a great issue. However, there has not been found as yet any means which is effective in the prevention of the symptom of chronic renal failure from reaching such a stage, while the regulation of the body fluid which has lost its balance owing to oliguria or anuria by the administration of a diuretic is conducted as the conservative therapy exclusively for the patients with acute renal failure to secure necessary thermal energy.
It has been a practice in the prior art to use a loop diuretic such as furosemide or ethacrynic acid against acute renal failure. However, such a diuretic causes an adverse reaction such as hearing loss, worsening of diabetes mellitus or hyperuricemia, so that enough care is needed in the administration thereof. Further, it is needless to say that these drugs are ineffective in protecting the kidney positively to normalize the lowered function thereof, because the drugs serve only as diuretic.
Accordingly, it has been expected eagerly to develop a drug which can prevent the worsening of renal failure and which can regulate the body fluid to thereby normalize the function of the kidney.
SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION
Under these circumstances, the inventors of the present invention have started their studies for the purpose of developing a remedy for renal failure.
As a result of the studies, they have directed their attention to adenosine A1 receptors present in the kidney and have found that the above object can be attained by utilizing the antagonism against the Al receptor. Further, they have made intensive studies on a compoune exhibiting such antagonism and have found that the above object can be attained by the propenoic acid derivative which will be described below.

Immediately after the administration, the test compound was orally administered forcedly to the test group of rats in an amount of 1 mg/5 ml/kg, while a solvent (2% Tween 80 solution) to the control group of rats in an amount of 5 ml/kg. Six hours after the administration, the administration of the test compound and the solvent to the test group and the control group respectively was conducted in a similar manner to that described above. Thereafter, the same administration was repeated on the next day twice, and on the third and forth days each once. On the fifth day, the rats were etherized and blood was sampled from each rat. The blood samples thus prepared were analyzed for serum urea nitrogen and creatinine.
(ii) Experimental results
The results are given in Table 2.

3. Diuretic activity
(1) Experimental method
Fisher male rats aged 8 weeks and weighing 190 to 210 g were fasted for 18 hours prior to the use. The test compound was orally administered forcedly to the test group of rats in a state dispersed in a 0.4% solution of Tween 80 in physiological saline in an amount of 1 mg/25 ml/kg, while a 0.4% solution of Tween 80 in physiological saline to the control group of rats in the same amount as that administered to the test group. Immediately after the administration, the rats were put in individual metabolism cages respectively to collect urine from each rat for 2 hours. The urinary volume of each rat was determined and thereafter the urine was examined for uric acid concentration to calculate the amount of uric acid egested. The control group was composed of six rats, while the test group three rats. The amounts of uric acid excreted from the rats of each group were averaged out to determine the increment of the excretion of uric acid based on the averages.
(ii) Experimental results
The urinary volume of the test group was 605% and the amount of uric acid excreted therefrom was 166% when the urinary volume and the amount of the excreted uric acid of the control group are taken each as 100%.
4. Adenosine antagonism
(i) Experimental method
Hartley male guinea pigs weighing 250 to 400 g were beaten to death. The heart was immediately extirpated from each guinea pig and put in the Krebs-Heuseleit solution saturated with a gas mixture comprising 95% of oxygen and 5% of carbon dioxide. Thereafter, the right atrium was extirpated from the heart. The samples thus preparer were each vertically suspended in a Magnus tube (capacity: 6 ml) filled with a nutrient liquid at 37.degree. C. and the same gas mixture as that used above was passed through the tube.
The change in tension was isometrically determined under a load of about 0.5 g and the spontaneous heart rate was measured and recorded with a cardiotachometer by utilizing the signal of the change as a trigger.
After the stabilization of the sample, 10.sup.-5 mol of dipyridamole was added to each Magnus tube. Thereafter, the test compound was added directly to each of the Magnus tubes of the test group in a state dissolved in DMSO, while a solvent (DMSO) to each of the Magnus tubes of the control group in the same amount as that added to each Magnus tube of the test group. The resulting Magnus tubes was allowed to stand for 20 minutes. Thereafter, 10.sup.-8 to 10.sup.-2 mol of adenosine was cumulatively added to each Magnus tube until the spontaneous heart beat discontinued.
The EC.sub.50 value with respect to the heart rate lowering effect of adenosine was calculated and the adenosine antagonism was represented by pA.sub.2 value (-log M).
(ii) Experimental result
pA.sub.2 value=10.41
As described above, the compound of the present invention exhibits adenosine antagonism and is effective in the prevention and treatment of diseases against which this antagonism is efficacious.
