Novel nitrosothiol derivatives of the formula: ##STR1## wherein R.sup.1 and R.sup.2 are independently a hydrogen atom or a hydrocarbon residue which may be substituted; R.sup.3 is a hydrogen atom, an acyl group or a hydrocarbon residue which may be substituted; X.sup.1 is a hydrogen atom, an acyl group, a lower alkoxy group or a hydrocarbon residue which may be substituted; X.sup.2 is an acyl group or a carboxyl group which may be esterified or which may form an amide; with proviso that when X.sup.2 is a carboxyl group X.sup.1 is not a hydrogen atom or acetyl group and that when both R.sup.1 and R.sup.2 are hydrogen atoms X.sup.1 is not acetyl group or .gamma.-glutamyl group, and salts thereof, show excellent hypotensive action, antiarrhythmic action, anti-anginal action, cardiotonic action or coronary vasodilation, thus being useful as therapeutic or prophylactic agents for the cardiovascular diseases such as hypertension and angina pectoris.
化合物的名称为Novel nitrosothiol derivatives,其
化学式为:##STR1## 其中R1和R2分别为氢原子或可被取代的碳氢残基;R3为氢原子、酰基或可被取代的碳氢残基;X1为氢原子、酰基、低级烷氧基或可被取代的碳氢残基;X2为酰基或可酯化的羧基或可形成酰胺基的羧基;但当X2为羧基时,X1不为氢原子或乙酰基,并且当R1和R2均为氢原子时,X1不为乙酰基或γ-谷
氨酰基。该化合物及其盐具有出色的降压作用、抗心律失常作用、抗心绞痛作用、心脏强心作用或冠状动脉扩张作用,因此可作为治疗或预防高血压和心绞痛等心血管疾病的药物。
