Propenoic acid derivatives of the formula: ##STR1## where R.sup.15 and R.sup.17 are aryl or heteroalkyl groups and R.sup.16 and R.sup.18 are hydrogen, a lower alkyl or the like are intermediates used to prepare pharmaceutically active diazole propenoic acid compounds.

Diazole-propenoic acid compounds

A novel propenoic acid derivative which exhibits adenosine A1 antagonism is defined by the general formula (I): ##STR1## (wherein A represents an aromatic ring; R.sup.1 represents aryl or the like; R.sup.2, R.sup.3 and R.sup.4 each represent hydrogen, lower alkyl or the like; and R.sup.7 and R.sup.8 each represent lower alkyl or the like) or a pharmacologically acceptable salt thereof.
