Arylcarbonylaminoalkyl-dihydro-oxo-pyridines, their production and their

Abstract

Arylcarbonylaminoalkyl-dihydro-oxo-pyridines of Formula I ##STR1## are disclosed wherein aryl is an aromatic or heteroaromatic system, n is zero through 5; R and R(1), are hydrogen, or loweralkyl; W is hydrogen, (hetero)-(aryl)-loweralkyl; Z is hydrogen, CH.sub.2 OR(2.sub.), CHO, (CO)OR(2), (CO)NR(2).sub.2. Processes for the preparation of compound I are also disclosed. Compounds I are suitable for the treatment of disorders of the cardiovascular system, for example of hypertension, of cardiac insufficiency or of disturbances of blood flow in the coronary systems such as, for example, angina. Disturbances of cerebral and peripheral blood flow are likewise influenced beneficially. Furthermore, compounds I are able to influence smooth-muscle organs such as uterus, bronchi, intestines and biliary system, the urinary tract (ureter, bladder and urethra) in the sense of spasmolysis. They are therefore also suitable for the treatment of diseases associated with spasms of these organs, for example for the treatment of premature labor in pregnancy, of ureteral or biliary colic, of obstructive airway diseases such as asthma, of disturbances of intestinal motility such as, for example, of irritable colon or of bladder incontinence. Additionally, compounds of formula 1 can serve as anticonvulsants in the treatment of epilepsy.
