Quinoxalines and drugs prepared therefrom

A quinoxaline-2,3(1H,4H)-dione of the general formula I ##STR88## or a tautomer or enantiomer thereof, or a physioligically tolerated salt thereof, wherein,

• R.sup.1 is hydrogen;
• a cycloaliphatic radical having up to 8 carbon atoms;
• an aliphatic radical having from 1 to 6 carbon atoms which can carry one or two an identical or different substituents selected form the group consisting of phenyl, cyclopentyl, cyclohexyl, --COR.sup.3, --CO--O--R.sup.3, --CO--NH--R.sup.3, --OR.sup.3, --CN and ##STR89## wherein, where R.sup.3 is selected from the group consisting of hydrogen, C.sub.1 -C.sub.4 -alkyl, phenyl, benzyl, 1-phenylethyl and 2-phenylethyl;
• and where the cycloaliphatic radical or phenyl ring contained in R.sup.1 or representing R.sup.1 optionally carries up to three identical or different substituents selected from the group consisting of C.sub.1 -C.sub.4 -alkyl, C.sub.1 -C.sub.4 -haloalkyl, C.sub.1 -C.sub.4 -alkoxy, C.sub.1 -C.sub.4 -haloalkoxy, halogen, nitro, cyano, --CO--OR.sup.5, --CO--NH--R.sup.5, --OH, .dbd.O and ##STR90## where R.sup.5, independently of R.sup.3, has the same meanings as R.sup.3 ;
• R.sup.2 is a pyrrole group:
• ##STR91## where R.sup.6 is a radical selected from the group consisting of ##STR92## where R.sup.7 is hydrogen or branched or linear C.sub.1 -C.sub.4 -alkyl which can carry one or two phenyl rings;
• R.sup.8 is a radical selected from the group consisting of ##STR93## where R.sup.10 is hydrogen or a branched or linear C.sub.1 -C.sub.4 -alkyl which can carry one or two phenyl rings;
• and

• where the phenyl groups if present in R.sup.7, R.sup.9 and R.sup.10, and in the phenyl rings if representing R.sup.8 and R.sup.9, can be substituted by a radical selected from the group consisting of halogen, --NO.sub.2, --CF.sub.3, --CN, --OH, --OCH.sub.3, --NH.sub.2, --NHCOCH.sub.3, --OCF.sub.3, --CO.sub.2 --(C.sub.1 -C.sub.4 -alkyl), --CO.sub.2 H, --CONH.sub.2, --CONH--(C.sub.1 -C.sub.4 -alkyl), --CH.sub.2 --NHCOCF.sub.3, --CH.sub.2 NH.sub.2 and C.sub.1 -C.sub.4 -alkyl;
• R is a radical selected from the group consisting of C.sub.1 -C.sub.4 -alkyl, C.sub.1 -C.sub.4 -alkoxy, trifluoromethyl, trichloromethyl, trifluoromethoxy, trichloromethoxy, fluorine, chlorine, bromine, iodine, nitro, cyano and a fused-on benzene ring, said fused-on benzene ring optionally carrying one or two of the radicals selected form the group consisting of C.sub.1 -C.sub.4 -alkyl, C.sub.1 -C.sub.4 -alkoxy, trifluoromethyl, trichloromethyl, trifluoromethoxy, trichloromethoxy, fluorine, chlorine, bromine, iodine, nitro and cyano;
• and
• n is an integer from 0 to 2, or n is 0 or 1 for the fused-on benzene ring.
