There are described compounds of the formula I ##STR1## in which R.sup.1 is (C.sub.1 -C.sub.10)-alkyl, (C.sub.1 -C.sub.8)-alkanoyl, (C.sub.6 -C.sub.10)-aryl or Het, each of which can be substituted by halogen, --OH, --NH.sub.2, --NH--CO--R.sup.7, --O--CO--R.sup.7 and --N--(R.sup.8).sub.2 where R.sup.7 =(C.sub.1 -C.sub.6)-alkyl and R.sup.8, independently of one another, is hydrogen or (C.sub.1 -C.sub.2)-alkyl or in which R.sup.1 is the radical of the formula II ##STR2## in which n is an integer from 3 to 10, m is zero to 3, R.sup.6, independently of one another, is (C.sub.1 -C.sub.6)-alkyl which is optionally substituted by halogen or --NH--CO--R.sup.7, where R.sup.7 =(C.sub.1 -C.sub.6)-alkyl, and X is absent or is (C.sub.1 -C.sub.10)-alkyl, and R.sup.2, R.sup.3, R.sup.4 or R.sup.5, independently of one another, are hydrogen, (C.sub.1 -C.sub.5) -alkyl, lithium, sodium, potassium or Si(R), where R=(C.sub.1 -C.sub.5)-alkyl, and their physiologically tolerable salts, a process for preparation of these compounds of the formula I and their use as pharmaceuticals in the prophylaxis and treatment of osteoporosis and hypercalcemia.

Imidobisphosphoric acids, and use thereof

Imidobisphosphoric acids, process for their preparation, and use thereof. There are described compounds of the formula I ##STR1## in which R.sup.1 is (C.sub.1 -C.sub.10)-alkyl, (C.sub.1 -C.sub.8)-alkanoyl, (C.sub.6 -C.sub.10)-aryl or Het, each of which can be substituted by halogen, --OH, --NH.sub.2, --NH--CO--R.sup.7, --O--CO--R.sup.7 and --N--(R.sup.8).sub.2 where R.sup.7 =(C.sub.1 -C.sub.6)-alkyl and R.sup.8, independently of one another, is hydrogen or (C.sub.1 -C.sub.4)-alkyl or in which R.sup.1 is the radical of the formula II ##STR2## in which n is an integer from 3 to 10, m is zero to 3, R.sup.6, independently of one another, is (C.sub.1 -C.sub.6)-alkyl which is optionally substituted by halogen or --NH--CO--R.sup.7, where R.sup.7 =(C.sub.1 -C.sub.6)-alkyl, and X is absent or is (C.sub.1 -C.sub.10)-alkyl, and R.sup.2, R.sup.3, R.sup.4 or R.sup.5, independently of one another, are hydrogen, (C.sub.1 -C.sub.5)-alkyl, lithium, sodium, potassium or Si(R), where R=(C.sub.1 -C.sub.5) -alkyl, and their physiologically tolerable salts, a process for preparation of these compounds of the formula I and their use as pharmaceuticals in the prophylaxis and treatment of osteoporosis and hypercalcemia.

Imidobisphosphoric acids, and use therefor

The heterocyclic iminobismethylenebisphosphonic acid derivatives of the general formula (I) ##STR1## wherein n is an integer of 0-5 and the group of the formula ##STR2## represents a 4-7 membered monocyclic or 7-11 membered condensed heterocyclic ring group which may be substituted by a halogen atom or a lower alkyl group and contains 1-2 nitrogen atoms their esters and salts thereof are described. The said compounds are useful as a bone resorption inhibitor, a dental calculus formation inhibitory agent or a polyvalent metal ion complex salt forming agent.
