A N-substituted 3,4-dihydropyrimidine derivative of the formula (1): ##STR1## Wherein R.sup.1 is --(CH.sub.2).sub.n --X; X is substituted aminoethyl, substituted sulfideethyl, substituted or nonsubstituted heterocyclo-ethyl wherein the ethylene group is directly bonded to a hetero atom in the heterocyclic ring, or substituted or nonsubstituted heterocyclo-methyl wherein the methylene group is directly bonded to a carbon atom in the heterocyclic ring; n is an integer from 0 to 8; R.sup.2 is straight, branched cyclic or cyclo-straight alkyl having from one to thirteen carbon atoms, or aralkyl having from seven to thirteen carbon atoms and pharmacologically acceptable acid additional salts thereof have substantially strong and long lasting effects. Therefore the compounds are useful as agents for treating disorders of the cardiovascular system, and are useful, for example, as antihypertensive agents, circulation improvers and antianginal agents. A process for producing the above compounds economically and effectively is also disclosed.

N-substituted 3,4-dihydropyrimidine derivatives as agents for treating

A novel pyrrolizidine derivative of the formula, ##STR1## which has potent antiarrhythmic activity and low toxicity is produced. The derivative can be synthesized: by acylating 2,6-xylidine to protect the amino group, nitrating the protected xylidine to introduce a nitro group at 3-position, reducing the nitro group to an amino group, followed by diazotizing and hydrolyzing, and then the resulted 3-hydroxy-2,6-dimethylaniline being condensed with 8-halocarbonylmethylpyrrolizidine; or by nitrating N-(2',6'-dimethyl)phenyl-8-pyrrolizidineacetamide to introduce a nitro group at 3'-position, reducing the nitro group to amino group, diazotizing the amino group and hydrolyzing the diazonium compound.
