Compounds of formula II can be obtained as illustrated in the following Formula Scheme: ##STR10##
Alkylation of the phenol VII with diethyl chloromalonate yields compound VIII which is condensed with formamidine acetate or a homologous compound such as acetamidine acetate to the pyrimidinedione derivative IX. Using phosphorus oxychloride there is obtained therefrom the dichloro compound X which yields compound II upon reaction with a stoichiometric amount of compound XI. All of these reactions are standard operations and can be carried out under conditions which are usual for such reactions and which are familiar to a person skilled in the art.

Reaction of compound XIII with a compound III in the manner already described leads to compound XIV. Oxidative cleavage of the double bond of the propenyl side-chain in compound XIV finally yields the aldehyde IV.
The inhibitory activity of the compounds of formula I on endothelin receptors can be demonstrated using the test procedures described hereinafter:
I: Inhibition of endothelin binding to human placenta membranes (see. Life Sci 44:1429 (1989))
Human placenta is homogenized in 5 mM Tris buffer, pH 7.4, which contains 1 mM MgCl.sub.2 and 250 mM sucrose. The homogenizate is centrifuged at 4.degree. C. and 3000 g for 15 minutes, the supernatant containing the plasma membrane fraction is centrifuged with 72000 g for 30 minutes and the precipitate is washed with 75 mM Tris buffer, pH 7.4, which contains 25 mM MgCl.sub.2. Thereafter, precipitate obtained from, in each case, 10 g of original tissue is suspended in 1 ml of 75 mM Tris buffer, pH 7.4, containing 25 mM MgCl.sub.2 and 250 mM sucrose, and freeze-dried at -20.degree. C. in 1 ml aliquots.
For the binding assay, the freeze-dried membrane preparations are thawed and, after centrifugation at 20.degree. C. and 25000 g for 10 minutes, re-suspended in assay buffer (50 mM Tris buffer, pH 7.4, containing 25 mM MnCl.sub.2, 1 mM EDTA and 0.5% of bovine serum albumin). 100 ml of this membrane suspension containing 70 mg of protein are incubated with 50 ml of .sup.125 I-endothelin (specific activity 2200 Ci/mMol) in assay buffer (25000 cpm, final concentration 20 pM) and 100 ml of assay buffer containing varying concentrations of test compound. The incubation is carried out at 20.degree. C. for 2 hours or at 4.degree. C. for 24 hours. The separation of free and membrane-bound radioligands is carried out by filtration over a glass fibre filter.
The inhibitory activity of compounds of formula I determined in this test procedure is given in Table 1 as the IC.sub.50, that is, as the concentration [mM] which is required to inhibit 50% of the specific binding of .sup.125 I-endothelin.

II. Inhibition of endothelin-induced contractions in isolated rat aorta rings
Rings with a length of 5 mm were cut out from the thorax aorta of adult Wistar-Kyoto rats. The endothelium was removed by lightly rubbing the internal surface. Each ring was immersed at 37.degree. C. in 10 ml of Krebs-Henseleit solution in an isolated bath while gassing with 95% O.sub.2 and 5% CO.sub.2. The isometric stretching of the rings was measured. The rings were stretched to a pretension of 3 g. After incubation for 10 minutes with the test compound or vehicle, cumulative dosages of endothelin-1 were added. The activity of the test compound was determined by calculating the dosage ratios, that is, the shift to the right (shift to higher values) of the EC.sub.50 of endothelin induced by 100 mM of test compound, with EC.sub.50 denoting the endothelin concentration required for a half-maximum contraction. The greater this dosage ratio is the more potent the test compound is in inhibiting the biological activity of endothelin-1. The EC.sub.50 of endothelin in the absence of test compounds is 0.3 nM.
The thus-obtained values for the shift to the right of the EC.sub.50 of endothelin with compounds of formula I are given in Table 2.

III. The inhibitory activity of the compounds of formula I on vasoconstriction can be observed in vivo in rats in the test procedure described hereinafter:
Rats were anaesthetized with Na thiobutabarbital (100 mg/kg i.p.). A catheter for measuring the systemic arterial blood pressure was placed through the femoral artery and a catheter was placed in the vena cava via the femoral vein for injection of the test compounds. A Doppler sonde was placed around the left renal artery and attached to a Doppler measuring apparatus. A renal ischaemia was produced by pinching off the left renal artery at its point of exit for 45 minutes. 10 minutes prior to the induction of the ischaemia the test compounds were administered intraarterially (i.a.) in dosages of 5 mg/kg or intravenously (i.v.) in dosages of 10 mg/kg. In control tests, the renal perfusion was reduced by 43.+-.4% compared to the preischaemic value.
The results obtained with two compounds of formula I are given in Table 3.

The compounds of formula I can be administered orally, rectally, parentally, for example, intravenously, intramuscularly, subcuta- neously, intrathecally or transdermally, or sublingually or as opththalmological preparations, or as an areosol. Capsules, tablets, suspensions or solutions for oral administration, suppositories, injection solutions, eye drops, salves or spray solutions are examples of application forms.
Intravenous, intramuscular or oral application is a preferred form of use. The dosages in which the compounds of formula I are administered in effective amounts depend on the nature of the specific active ingredient, the age and the requirements of the patient and the mode of application. In general, dosages of about 0.1-100 mg/kg body weight per day come into consideration. The preparations containing the compounds of formula I can contain inert or also pharmacodynamically active additives. Tablets or granulates, for example, can contain a series of binders, fillers, carriers or diluents. Liquid preparations can be present, for example, in the form of a sterile water-miscible solution. Capsules can contain a filler or thickener in addition to the active ingredient. Furthermore, flavor-improving additives, as well as, substances usually used as preserving, stabilizing, moisture-retaining and emulsifying agents as well as salts for varying the osmotic pressure, buffers and other additives can also be present.
The previously mentioned carrier materials and diluents can comprise organic or inorganic substances, for example, water, gelatin, lactose, starch, magnesium stearate, talc, gum arabic, polyalkylene glycols and the like. It is a prerequisite that all adjuvants used in the manufacture of the preparations are non-toxic.
