Abstract

Compounds of formula ##STR1## wherein X is --NR.sub.1 R.sub.2, --Cl, --Br or SR; Y is --X, --OH or --NH.sub.2 ; Z is hydrogen or --NH.sub.2 ; and R' is hydrogen or C.sub.1 -C.sub.18 acyl; R being hydrogen, aryl, aralkyl, substituted aryl, substituted aralkyl, or C.sub.1 -C.sub.7 alkyl; and R.sub.1 and R.sub.2 being independently selected from the group consisting of hydrogen, phenyl, C.sub.7 -C.sub.10 aralkyl, C.sub.1 -C.sub.7 alkyl, C.sub.1 -C.sub.10 branched chain alkyl, C.sub.1 -C.sub.7 unsaturated alkyl or lower alkyl joined to form a 5 or 6-membered heterocyclic ring, with the proviso that when one of R.sub.1 and R.sub.2 are hydrogen, the other is not. The compounds variously exhibit phosphodiesterase inhibition, protein kinase activation, positive inotropic effects, adenyl cyclase inhibition and other biological activities.
