Abstract
The invention concerns novel pharmaceutical compositions containing a 4(Z)-6-(2,4-diphenyl-1,3-dioxan-5-yl)-alkenoic acid which antagonizes one or more of the actions of thromboxane A.sub.2, together with a compound which inhibits the synthesis of thromboxane A.sub.2. The compositios are useful as medicines in treating a variety of diseases or medical conditions in which thromboxane A.sub.2 and/or other prostanoid contractile substances are involved.
Claims14
A pharmaceutical composition for use in a disease or medical condition in which thromboxane A.sub.2 and/or a related prostanoid constrictor substance is involved which comprises as active ingredients:
- (i) an effective amount of 1,3-dioxane ether of the formula I:
- ##STR2## wherein X is selected from fluoro, chloro, bromo, trifluoromethyl, cyano, methoxy and nitro;
- and one of Y and Z is hydrogen or fluoro, and the other is hydrogen;
- and wherein the groups at positions 2, 4 and 5 of the dioxane ring have cis-relative stereochemistry;
- or a pharmaceutically acceptable salt thereof;
- and
- (ii) an effective amount of inhibitor of the synthesis of thromboxane A.sub.2 selected from the group consisting of:
- (1) 4-[2-(1H-imidazol-1-yl)ethoxy]benzoic acid (dazoxiben),
- (2) sodium 5-(3-pyridylmethyl)benzofuran-2-carboxylic acid (furegrelate),
- (3) 3-[3-(1H-imidazol-1-ylmethyl)-2-methyl-1H-indol-1-yl]propanoic acid (UK38485),
- (4) 8-[3-methyl-2-(3-pyridyl)-1H-indol-1-yl]octanoic acid (CGS12970),
- (5) 5-(5-carboxypentyl)imidazo[1,5-a]pyridine (CGS13080),
- (6) 6-[5-chloro-3-methyl-2-(3-pyridyl)-1H-indol-1-yl]hexanoic acid (CGS14854),
- (7) (E)-4-(1-imidazolylmethyl)cinnamic acid (OKY046),
- (8) sodium (E)-3-[4-(3-pyridylmethyl)phenyl]methacrylate (OKY1580),
- (9) (E)-3-[4-(3-pyridylmethyl)phenyl]methacrylic acid hydrochloride (OKY1581),
- (10) (E)-7-phenyl-7-(3-pyridyl)-6-heptenoic acid (CV4151),
- (11) N-[(1H)-imidazol-1-yl)octyl]-4-chlorobenzamide,
- (12) 1-(3-benzloxy-1(E)-octenyl)imidazole (CBS645),
- (13) 2,2-dimethyl-6-[2-(1H-imidazol-1-yl)-1-([4-methoxyphenyl]methoxymethyl)-et hoxy]hexanoic acid (SC41156),
- (14) sodium 4-[alpha-hydroxy-5-(1H-imidazol-1-yl)-2-methylbenzyl]-3,5-dimethyl-benzoat e (Y20811);
- having the formulae set out hereinbefore;
- and the pharmaceutically acceptable salts thereof or, in the case of inhibitor (2), (8), (9) and (14), the salt free form thereof;
- together with a pharmaceutically acceptable diluent or carrier.
