Abstract
A novel method of producing 4,5-dihydro-6-(substituted)phenyl-5-methyl-3(2H)-pyridazinone compounds and the corresponding pharmaceutically acceptable salt compounds is provided as well as pharmaceutical compositions containing one or more of the compounds as active components of the compositions for their pharmacological activity, particularly their cardiotonic and/or antihypertensive activity. Said 5-methylpyridazinone compounds have greatly improved cardiotonic activity in vivo that causes, for example, a significant increase in myocardial contractility in the dog. Said compounds also cause a decrease in blood pressure in the spontaneously hypertensive rat. Said compounds are produced by a stepwise procedure in which one reacts a substituted morpholineacetonitrile with crotononitrile to obtain the corresponding 4-(substituted)-.beta.-methyl.gamma.-oxobenzenebutanoic acid and reacts the latter acid with hydrazine to provide the 4,5-dihydro-6-(substituted)phenyl-5-methyl-3(2 ,uns/H/ )-pyridazinone product.
