Thiazole cardiovascular agents

Abstract

1-Alkylamino-3-(5-alkynylaminocarbonylthiazol-2-yloxy)-2-propanol; 5-(5-alkynylaminocarbonyl-thiazol-2-yloxymethylene)-N-alkyloxazolidine and/or 2-substituted oxazolidine derivatives thereof, and methods of making such compounds. The compounds exhibit cardiovascular activity and are useful in the treatment of abnormal heart conditions in mammals. The compounds are also useful in the treatment of hypertension in mammals. The 5-(5-alkynyl-aminocarbonylthiazol-2-yloxymethylene)-N-alkyloxazolidines and derivatives are also intermediates for the 1-alkylamino-3-(5-alkynylaminocarbonylthiazol-2-yloxy)-2-propanols. The 1-alkylamino-3-(5-alkynylaminocarbonylthiazol-2-yloxy)-2-propanols can be prepared by base or acid hydrolysis of the corresponding 5-(5-alkynylaminocarbonylthiazol-2-yloxymethylene)-N-alkyloxazolidine or derivative; or by treatment of the corresponding 3-(5-alkynylaminocarbonylthiazol-2-yloxy)-2,3-epoxypropane with the desired alkylamine. Similarly the 5-(5-alkynylaminocarbonylthiazol-2-yloxymethylene)-N-alkyloxazolidine or derivative can be prepared from the corresponding 1-alkylamino-3-(5-alkynylaminocarbonylthiazol-2-yloxy)-2-propanols via treatment with an aldehyde or ketone.
