The present invention relates to novel thiadiazinone derivatives or salts thereof which are useful as a cardiotonic drug.

2. Discussion of the Background

Cardiotonic drugs directly act on the heart and promote its contraction. Various kinds of the drugs have been conventionally utilized for the treatment of heart failure.

Examples of the drugs which are known to have a cardiotonic activity and have been conventionally utilized are as follows: pyridazinone derivatives (Japanese Laid-Open Patent Publication Nos. 8015/83, 8016/83, 87283/85, 183282/86, 154670/88, 148865/83, 183618/83, 203978/83 and 84883/84, U.S. Pat. Nos. 4661484and 4971968, European Laid-Open Patent Publication No. 85985, and the like); pyridazine-3-thione derivatives (Japanese Patent Nos. 188815/83 and 203977/83, and the like); pyridine derivatives (Japanese Laid-Open Patent Publication No. 197681/85, and the like); pyridone derivatives (Japanese Laid-Open Patent Publication No.59571/90and the like); 2(1H)-pyrimidinone derivatives (Japanese Laid-Open Patent Publication No.59573/90, and the like); pyradinone derivatives (Japanese Laid-Open Patent Publication No. 59574/90); and thiazolone derivatives (Japanese Patent No. 59577/90, and the like).

A pharmacological test on cardiotonic activity of the thiadiazinone derivatives according to the invention was conducted by utilizing papillary muscle sample enucleated from guinea pigs.

Male guinea pigs of 400-600 g body weight was beaten on the occiput portion. Immediately after that, the papillary muscle of the right ventricle was enucleated, and immobilized at the bottom of an organ bath which had been filled with Krebs-Henseleit solution and had been maintained at 32.degree. C., with a mixture gas of O.sub.2 and CO.sub.2 (95%: 5%) flown. Next, the papillary muscle was fitted with a thread the end of which was connected to a trasducer in order to measure tension. A stationary tension of 0.5 g was loaded to the sample. The sample was then electrically driven with rectangular waves of 1.2 times that of a threshold through two platinum electrodes for one second every 2 seconds. The sample was thus prepared, and stabilized for 30 minutes. After that, each of the example compounds was added to the organ bath, and a reaction of the sample was recorded.
