SPECIFICATION Thiopyrano[2,3-b]indole Derivatives (Technical Field) The present invention relates to novel thiopyrano[2,3-blindole derivatives and salts thereof, to processes for producing the same, and to 5-HT 3 antagonists containing these compounds. (Background Art) As 5-HT 3 antagonists, are known hitherto azabicyclo compounds described in JP-A-59-36675 and JP A-59-67284, tetrahydrocarbazole derivatives described in JP-A-60-214784 and JP-A-63-211279, and azabicyclo compounds described in JP-A-61-275276 (the term "JP-A" as used herein means an "unexamined published Japanese patent application"). (Disclosure of the Invention) To make a search for compounds having an excellent 5-HT 3 antagonizing action, the present inventors synthesized a variety of novel compounds and subjected them to a screening test, and found that thiopyrano[2,3-b]indole derivatives represented by the following general formula (I) and salts thereof have an excellent 5-HT 3 antagonistic activity. The present - 1invention was accomplished on the basis of these findings. 0 N R N H RI (wherein R 1 and R 2 are the same or different from each other and each represents a hydrogen atom or a lower alkyl group; and the broken lines mean that both are single bonds or either one of them is a double bond.) Thus, an object of the present invention is to provide compounds represented by the above general formula (I) and salts thereof, and a further object is to provide pharmaceutical compositions of 5-HT 3 antagonist comprising a compound represented by the above general formula (I) or a salt thereof. The compounds (I) of the present invention are different from conventional 5-HT 3 antagonizing substances in fundamental structure and are characterized by an excellent 5-HT 3 antagonizing action. Described below are the compounds and pharmaceuticals of the present invention in more detail. The term "lower" as used in the definition of the groups in general formulas in this specification - 2 means, unless specifically indicated, a linear or branched alkyl group with a carbon number of 1 to 6. Accordingly, as examples of "a lower alkyl group", may be mentioned, among others, methyl, ethyl, propyl, butyl, pentyl (amyl), isopropyl, isobutyl, tert-butyl, isopentyl, neo-pentyl, tert-pentyl and hexyl groups. The compounds (I) of the present invention form their salts, and pharmacologically acceptable salts of compounds (I) are included in the present invention. As examples of such salts, may be mentioned acid addition salts with a mineral acid (such as hydrochloric, hydrobromic, hydroiodic, sulfuric, nitric and phosphoric acids), with an organic acid (such as formic, acetic, propionic, oxalic, malonic, succinic, fumaric, maleic, malic, tartaric, methanesulfonic and ethanesulfonic acids), and with an acidic amino acid (such as aspartic and glutamic acids). In addition, the compounds of the present invention involve various isomers, such as optical isomers due to the asymmetric carbon atom and keto-enol tautomeric isomers due to the oxo group. The present invention also includes such isomers (both isolated isomers and mixtures thereof). - 3- The compounds of the present invention may be prepared by various methods, and typical preparation methods are described below. (Preparation Method 1) OHC/T\ 3 N I N S R N N S (Step 1) H Ri R (II) (Ia) 0 Reduction when desired N (Step 2) H RI (Ib) (wherein R 1 and R 2 are the same as above; R 3 is an arylmethyl group; and ----- means that either one of them is a double bond. The same applies hereinafter.) The compounds (I) of the present invention can be prepared by reacting the tetrahydrothiopyrano[2,3-b] indole compound represented by the general formula (II) with the imidazole derivative represented by the general - 4 formula (III) (Step 1), and then reducing the compound (Ia) thus obtained, when desired (Step 2). (1) Step 1 The reaction of the compound (II) with the compound (III) is preferably carried out in a solvent inert to the reaction (such as diethyl ether, dioxane, tetrahydrofuran, benzene, toluene, xylenes, chloroform, dichloromethane and dimethylformamide) preferably in the presence of a base. As examples of the base, may be mentioned alkyl lithiums (such as butyl lithium), alkali metal hydrides (such as sodium hydride), alkali metal amides (such as sodium amide and lithium diisopropylamide), alkali metal carbonates (such as sodium carbonate) and alkali metal alkoxides (such as sodium methoxide and potassium methoxide). The reaction is carried out under cooling or at room temperature. As examples of the arylmethyl group in the compound (III) represented by R 3 , may be mentioned benzyl, benzhydryl and trityl groups. These groups can be eliminated by treatment with acetic, trifluoroacetic, p-toluenesulfonic or hydrochloric acid, etc., or by reduction according to the conventional method. -5- (2) Step 2 The compound represented by the general formula (Ib) can be obtained, when desired, by reducing the compound (Ia) obtained by Step 1. The reduction may be performed by hydrogenation in the presence of a metal catalyst commonly employed (such as palladium, Raney nickel, platinum and rhodium). As the reaction solvent, may be used an alcohol (such as methanol and ethanol), dioxane, diethyl ether, tetrahydrofuran or ethyl acetate, and the reaction is carried out under cooling or heating. (Preparation Method 2) Y 0 N Oxidation N 5 RN 2 N N1- SR N) H R1R (IV) (Ib) (wherein Y is a hydrogen atom or a hydroxyl group. The same applies hereinafter.) The compound represented by the general formula (Ib) can be prepared by oxidizing the compound represented by the general formula (IV) in the presence of a suitable oxidizing agent. -6- The oxidation may be performed by the use of selenium dioxide, ammonium ceric sulfate, an acetone solution of chromic acid or a pyridine solution of chromium trioxide when Y in the compound represented by the general formula (IV) is a hydrogen atom, and by the use of other oxidizing agents, such as N-bromo succinimide, N-chlorosuccinimide, pyridine-sulfur trioxide complex and copper chromite when Y is a hydroxyl group. As the reaction solvent, may be used acetone, tetrahydrofuran, dioxane, dimethylformamide, methanol, ethanol or dichloromethane, and the reaction is carried out under cooling or heating. The compound of the present invention thus formed is isolated and purified in its free form or in the form of a salt thereof. The isolation and purification may be performed by ordinary chemical operations, such as extraction, crystallization, recrystallization and various types of chromatography. A racemic compound can be converted into stereochemically pure isomers by the use of a proper raw material or by the commonly employed racemic resolution method [for example, a process of leading to a diastereomer with an optically active acid (such as a tartaric acid), followed by optical resolution]. - 7 - (Industrial Applicability) The compounds of the present invention and salts thereof were found to specifically depress the temporary bradycardia in an anesthetized rat caused by serotonin, and are therefore considered to have the 5-HT 3 antagonizing action. Accordingly, it is considered that the compounds of the present invention work to depress the vomit caused by a carcinostatic agent, such as cisplatin, and radioactive rays, and are useful for the prevention and treatment of megrim, compound headache, trigeminal neuralgia, anxiety neurosis, gastrointestinal disorders, peptic ulcers, irritable bowel syndrome, and other diseases. The pharmacological effects of the compounds of the present invention were confirmed as described below. 1) Antagonism against 5-HT 3 -receptor A nine-week-old male Wister rat was anesthetized by intraperitoneal administration of 1 g/kg urethane, and its blood pressure and heart rate were measured while practicing artificial respiration. The temporary decline of the heart rate and blood pressure caused by intravenous administration of serotonin, or 2-methylserotonin which is the selective agonist for 5-HT , was judged as an index to the reaction with the - 8 - 5-HT 3 receptor (Bezold-Jarish reflex; Paintal, A.S., Pysiol. Rev., 53, 159 (1973)]. The compound of the present invention or a salt thereof, when intravenously administered (0.03 to 10 pg/kg) or orally administered (1 to 300 pg/kg) 10 minutes or 60 minutes before the administration of serotonin (or 2-methylserotonin), respectively, depressed the decline of the heart rate and blood pressure caused by serotonin or 2-methylserotonin dose-dependently. The depressing action of a compound of the present invention against Bezold-Jarish (BJ) reflex caused by serotonin observed in a rat is shown in the table below. Depressing action against BJ reflex Example No. (EDqn; pq/kq i.v.) 5 0.048 2) Depressing action against vomit caused by carcinostatic agents Hypodermic or oral administration of the compound of the present invention in an amount of 0.01 to 1 mg/kg to a male ferret weighing from 1 to 1.5 kg depressed the vomit caused by intraperitoneal administration of 10 mg/kg cisplatin. - 9 - 3) Depressing action against stress defecation A nine-week-old male Wister rat was put in a cage for constraint stress, and the number of feces excreted was measured. A compound of the present invention or a salt thereof, when intravenously administered (1 to 100 pg/kg), depressed acceleration of defecation caused by constraint stress dose-dependently. In addition, the compounds of this invention are low in toxicity, and the acute toxicity value with male mice was 25 to 50 mg/kg i.v. (up and down method). Pharmaceutical compositions containing at least one kind of the compounds of the present invention or salts thereof as an active ingredient are made by the use of a carrier, an excipient and other commonly employed additives in the form of tablets, powders, fine granules, capsules, pills, solutions, injections, suppositories, ointments and adhesive plasters, which are administered orally (inclusive of sublingual administration) or parenterally. As the carrier and excipient for the manufacture of these pharmaceutical compositions, may be used solid or liquid non-toxic substances for medicinal use, such as lactose, magnesium stearate, starch, talc, gelatin, agar, pectin, gum arabic, olive oil, sesame oil, cacao - 10 butter, ethylene glycol and other compounds commonly employed. The clinical dosage of the compounds of the present invention is appropriately determined by taking, into consideration, the illness conditions, body weight, age, sex distinction and other factors of the patient being treated, but is generally 0.1 to 1.0 mg/day for intravenous injection and 0.5 to 50 mg/day for oral administration to adults (in a single or several divided doses).
