Abstract
Shown is a process for preparing cardiotonically active 1,3-dihydro-3-R-6-PY-5-Q-2H-imidazo[4,5-b]pyridin-2-ones, where Q is hydrogen or lower-alkyl, R is lower-alkyl, lower-hydroxyalkyl, lower-alkoxyalkyl or Y-NB where Y is lower-alkylene and NB is di-(lower-alkyl)amino or 4-morpholinyl, and PY is 4- or 3-pyridinyl or 4- or 3-pyridinyl having one or two substituents, by reacting a 2-RNH-5-PY-6-Q-nicotinamide with an alkali metal hypohalite. Also shown are cardiotonic compositions and a method for increasing cardiac contractility using 2-RR'N-5-PY-6-Q-nicotinamides or pharmaceutically acceptable acid-addition salts thereof, where R' is hydrogen or methyl. Also shown is the process for preparing said 2-RR'N-5-PY-6-Q-nicotinamides by reacting a 2-halo-5-PY-6-Q-nicotinamide with an amine of the formula RR'NH.
