Theophylline derivatives having at least one ether function in the structurally modified methyl radical in the 1-position that are useful in the treatment and prophylaxis of states of shock, new xanthine compounds having this substitution pattern, and processes for their preparation.

Use of theophylline derivatives for the treatment and prophylaxis of states of shock, novel xanthine compounds and processes for their preparation

Use of xanthine derivatives for the treatment of nerve damage following an interruption in blood circulation. The invention relates to the use of xanthine derivatives of the formula I ##STR1## in which R.sup.2 is a (C.sub.1 -C.sub.4)-alkyl group and at least one of the symbols R.sup.1 and R.sup.3 is a radical of the formula II or III ##STR2## in which A is CHOH, CO or dioxolane, R.sup.4 is a hydrogen atom or a (C.sub.1 -C.sub.4)-alkyl group and n is 0 to 5, and in which R.sup.5 and R.sup.6 are hydrogen atoms or (C.sub.1 -C.sub.4)-alkyl groups or, together with the nitrogen atom to which they are bonded, form a 5- to 7-membered ring, it being possible for one carbon atom to be replaced by an oxygen or nitrogen atom, m is 1 or 2 and the other radical R.sup.1 or R.sup.3, if appropriate, is a hydrogen atom, a (C.sub.1 -C.sub.6)-alkyl group or a (C.sub.3 -C.sub.6)-alkenyl group, for the preparation of medicaments for the prophylaxis and treatment of nerve damage following an interruption in blood circulation, and novel xanthine derivatives, and to processes for their preparation.

Use of xanthine derivatives for the treatment of nerve damage following

Therapeutic agents for the treatment of peptic ulcer disease, containing as active ingredient, at least one compound of the general formula ##STR1## wherein R.sup.1 and R.sup.3 are the same or different and are each (C.sub.1 -C.sub.8)alkyl, ##STR2## R.sup.2 is (C.sub.1 -C.sub.4)alkyl; R.sup.4 and R.sup.5 are the same or different and are each hydrogen or (C.sub.1 -C.sub.2)alkyl; R.sup.6 is (C.sub.1 -C.sub.2)alkyl; and m, n and p are the same or different and are each 1, 2, 3, 4, 5 or 6; with the proviso that one of the groups R.sup.1 and R.sup.3 is ##STR3## or that R.sup.3 represents ##STR4## Some of the compounds of formula I are novel.

1-(4-Hydroxy-3,5-di-tert.-butylbenzoyl)homopiperazine and various derivatives thereof substituted on the nitrogen are prepared starting from 4-hydroxy-3,5-di-tert.-butylbenzoic acid or its derivatives and homopiperazine or appropriate derivatives thereof. The compounds and their physiologically tolerated acid addition salts are suitable for the treatment of inflammatory and painful, in particular inflammatory rheumatic, disorders.

1-(4-Hydroxy-3,5-di-tert.-butylbenzoyl)homopiperazine, various

A 2-hydroxyethylidene-cyano acetic acid anilide is prepared by heating an acetoacetic acid anilide with an orthoformic acid ester and acetic anhydride, isolating the resulting 2-alkoxymethylene-acetoacetic acid anilide and treating it with hydroxylamine and the isoxazole so obtained with a base, and optionally reacting the resulting alkali metal or ammonium salt with a mineral acid or a strong organic acid. The compounds of the invention have anti-inflammatory and analgesic activity.
