Naphthalene derivative

Pharmaceutical compositions for treating gout or hyperuricemia and containing a new categorized compound, i.e. 2-arylthiazole derivatives, as an active ingredient, are provided. The 2-arylthiazole derivatives in the present invention are represented by the following formula (I): ##STR1## wherein Ar is an unsubstituted or substituted pyridyl, thienyl, furyl, naphthyl or phenyl group;

2-arylthiazole derivatives and pharmaceutical composition thereof

A compound selected from thiazolo[3,2-a]pyrimidines or their enolate derivatives represented by the following general formula ##STR1## wherein R.sup.1 and R.sup.2 are identical or different, and each represents a hydrogen atom, an alkyl group having 1 to 10 carbon atoms, an alkenyl group having 3 to 10 carbon atoms, a substituted or unsubstituted phenyl group, a substituted or unsubstituted cycloaliphatic group having 3 to 8 carbon atoms, a substituted or unsubstituted phenylalkyl group or a substituted or unsubstituted acyl group having 2 to 7 carbon atoms, provided that R.sup.1 and R.sup.2 are not simultaneously hydrogen atoms or substituted or unsubstituted acyl groups having 2 to 7 carbon atoms; and R.sup.1 and R.sup.2, when taken together, may form, with the nitrogen atom to which they are bonded, a 5- or 6-membered ring which may further contain one or more hetero atoms; and acid addition salts of these compounds. The thiazolo[3,2-a]pyrimidines may be prepared by a process comprising (a) reacting a malonic acid derivative of the following general formula ##STR2## wherein R.sup.1 and R.sup.2 are as defined with regard to formula (I), and R.sup.4 and R.sup.5 are identical or different and each represents an alkyl group having 1 to 6 carbon atoms, with 2-aminothiazoline under heat, if desired in the presence of an inert organic solvent, to induce cyclocondensation, or (b) performing said condensation reaction in the presence of an alkali metal alkoxide, if desired in the presence of an inert organic solvent, and neutralizing the resulting enolate with an acid; and if desired, reacting the reaction product of (a) or (b) with an acid. The present invention provides also several processes for preparing enolate derivatives thereof. The thiazolo[3,2-a]pyrimidines, their enolate derivatives and acid addition compounds thereof are useful for regulating the immune function of a warm-blooded animal.
