Quinolones with antihypertensive activity have the general formula I, ##STR1## wherein X is the residue of an optionally substituted benzene ring; R is lower alkyl; R.sub.3 is hydrogen or lower alkyl; R.sub.1 and R.sub.2, which may be the same or different, are hydrogen, lower alkyl, or, together with the nitrogen atom to which they are attached, form a 5 to 7 membered saturated heterocyclic ring optionally containing an additional hetero atom selected from nitrogen, oxygen and sulphur and optionally substituted by 1 or more lower alkyl groups; and the dotted line between positions 2 and 3 of the quinolone nucleus represents an optional bond. The compounds are useful as antihypertensive agents. They are also indicated for use in treating heart failure and ischaemic heart disease. With the exception of the three compounds 1-methyl-4-oxo-1,4-dihydroquinoline-3-sulphonamide, 1,N-dimethyl-4-oxo-1,4-dihydroquinoline-3-sulphonamide and 6,7-dimethoxyl-methyl-4-oxo-1,4-dihydroquinoline-3-sulphonamide, the quinolones of formula I are novel. Pharmaceutical compositions containing the compounds of formula I are described. Processes for preparing the novel quinolones are also described.
具有降压活性的
喹诺酮具有一般式I,其中X是可选择取代的苯环的残基;R是低碳烷基;R.sub.3是氢或低碳烷基;R.sub.1和R.sub.2,可以相同也可以不同,是氢、低碳烷基,或者与它们连接的氮原子一起形成一个含有氮、氧和
硫的额外杂原子的5到7元饱和杂环环,可选择地由1个或多个低碳烷基取代;
