Adenine derivatives of the formula ##SPC1## Wherein R is phenyl or thienyl, and the physiologically acceptable acid addition salts thereof, possess, with good compatibility, cardio-active properties and are produced by the reaction of a purine derivative of the formula ##SPC2## Wherein X is F, Cl, Br, I, SR.sub.1, SOR.sub.1, SO.sub.2 R.sub.1 or OSi(CH.sub.3).sub.3, R.sub.1 being alkyl of 1-4 carbon atoms, phenyl or benzyl, with an amine of the formula ##SPC3## Wherein R has the values given above, or a salt thereof.

Pharmaceutical compositions containing adenine derivatives

Novel isoquinoline derivatives of the formula ##SPC1## Wherein R.sub.1 is H or, together with R.sub.2, a C--N bond; R.sub.2 is H, R.sub.8 or, together with R.sub.1, a C--N bond; R.sub.3 is H, methyl or ethyl; R.sub.4 and R.sub.5 each are H or collectively a C--C bond; and R.sub.6 and R.sub.7 each are H or methoxy; R.sub.8 being acyl of 1-10 carbon atoms or alkyl of 1-17 carbon atoms optionally mono- or polysubstituted by phenyl, OH, ArCOO--, ArCONH--, piperidino, 3,4-dehydropiperidino, morpholino, carboxy, carbomethoxy and/or carbethoxy, Ar being 3,4,5-trimethoxyphenyl; and the physiologically acceptable acid addition salts and quaternary ammonium salts thereof, have cardiovascular activity and can be prepared by acylating a corresponding primary amine lacking the COAr group with 3,4,5-trimethoxybenzoic acid or a functional derivative thereof.
