Their preparation and pharmaceutical composition containing them are also within the scope of the invention.
Abstract:
The invention relates to a new process for the preparation of alkoxyvincaminic acid esters of the formula (I) ##STR1## and/or alkoxyapovincaminic acid esters of the formula (II) ##STR2## wherein R.sup.1, R.sup.2 and R.sup.3 independently stand for alkyl groups having from one to 6 carbon atoms.The compounds of the formulae (I) and (II) are pharmaceutically active, thus some of them show psychostimulant activity.
Abstract:
The invention concerns a new process for the preparation of apovincaminic acid ester derivatives of the general formula (I) ##STR1## wherein R.sup.1 and R.sup.2 independently represent an alkyl group having 1 to 6 carbon atoms,and pharmaceutically acceptable salts thereof.According to the invention the apovincaminic acid ester derivatives of the general formula (I) are prepared by reacting the corresponding 9- and/or 10- and/or 11-halo-14-oxo-15-hydroxyimino-E-homo-eburnane derivatives with an alkanol of the general formula R.sup.1 --OH, wherein R.sup.1 is as defined above, and with a dehydrating concentrated acid, and subsequently reducing the 9- and/or 10- and/or 11-halo-apovincaminic acid esters obtained, selectively on the aromatic ring. Alternatively, the 9- and/or 10- and/or 11-halo-apovincaminic acid esters can also be used as starting materials. The invention includes the preparation of racemic and optically active apovincaminic acid ester derivatives and of their pharmaceutically acceptable salts, as well.
Abstract:
The invention relates to a process for the manufacture of prolonged action and stable vincamine preparations, which process comprises reacting an acid addition salt of vincamine with an alkali metal salt or alkaline earth metal salt of a sulfonic acid cation exchange resin, in particular an alkali metal salt of a sulfonated copolymer of styrene with a small amount of divinyl benzene, in a polar reaction medium such as water. The invention further relates to the vincamine preparations so obtained, to the use thereof for the manufacture of ready-for-use medicaments for oral administration and to these medicaments themselves.
Abstract:
Vincamine saccharinate, a novel derivative of vincamine, and pharmaceutical compositions containing vincamine saccharinate are disclosed. The solubility of vincamine saccharinate in glycerol-ethanol mixtures and the superior taste characteristics of vincamine saccharinate allow the preparation of preferred pharmaceutical compositions in solution form which are suitable for oral administration, especially in the form of drops.
Abstract:
Vincaminic acid derivatives of formula (A) ##STR1## useful in treating cerebral insufficiency, are prepared by reacting 1-ethyl-2,3,4,6,7,12-hexahydroindolo[2,3-a]quinolizine with the 2,4-DNP hydrazone of ethyl or methyl bromopyruvate followed by (i) reduction of the C.dbd.N bond and (ii) simultaneous cyclization with removal of the ketone-protecting group in either order.
Abstract:
A compound of the formula: ##STR1## wherein R.sup.1 is a C.sub.1 -C.sub.6 alkyl group and R is a hydrogen atom or a C.sub.1 -C.sub.6 alkyl group, and their salts, which are useful as cerebral vasodilator; and a compound of the formula: ##STR2## wherein R.sup.2 is a hydrogen atom or a C.sub.1 -C.sub.6 alkyl group, R.sup.3 is a hydrogen atom or the formula: --CO.sub.2 R.sup.1 (R.sup.1 is a C.sub.1 -C.sub.6 alkyl group) and W is an oxygen atom, an imino group or ##STR3## but not an imino group in case that R.sup.3 is a hydrogen atom, which are intermediates of the compound (I), useful per se as cerebral vasodilator and/or antihypertensive agents.
