Preparation of 5-(2-chloro-benzyl)-thieno~3, ~ dinium chloride ~deriva-tive 30) A solution of thienor3,2-c]pyridine ~13.5 g; 0.1 mole) and 2-chloro-benzyl chloride ~17.7 g) in acetonitrile ~150 ml) is boiled during four hours.
After evaporation of the solvant, the solid residue consists of 5-~2-chloro-benzyl)-thieno[3,2-c]pyridinium chloride which melts at 166C.
On reduction with sodium borohydride followed by acidification with -hydrochloric acid there are obtained 5-~2-chloro-benzyl)-4~5,6,7-tetrahydro-thieno[3,2-c]pyridine hydrochloride crystals having a melting point ~Koefler block~ of 190C.

E~ample 1 gives the title compound which on reduc~ion and acidification yields 5-(4-methoxy-benzyl~-4,5,6,7-tetrahydro-thieno[3,2-c]pyridine hydrochloride crystals having a melting point ~Koefler block) of 214-216C.

. :
Preparatio ~ hieno[3,2-c]pyridinium chloride Reacting thienoE3,2-c]pyridine ~13.5 g; 0.1 mole) with 3,4,5-tri-methoxy-benzyl chloride ~23.8 g; 0.11 mole), according to the procedure des-cribed in Example 1, gives the title compound which on reduction and acidifica-tion yields 5-~3,4,5-trimethoxy-benzyl)-4,5,6,7-tetrahydro-thieno[3,2-c]
pyridine hydrochloride crystals having a melting point (Koefler block) of 200-205C.

::.~, Synthesis of 5-phenacyl-thieno[3,2-c]pyridinium bromide ~derivative no 31) A mixture of thieno[3,2-c]pyridine (13.5 g; 0.10 mole) and phenacyl bromide (19.9 g) (0.10 mole) in acetone (200 ml) is stirred during two hours at room temperature.
The resulting white precipitate is filtered, washed with acetone and ~ ;
dried, to give 29.7 g of crude product in a yield of 89%.
Recrystallisation of the material from water (50 ml) and drying gives 26.6 g (recrystallisation yield: 89.5%) highly hygroscopic white crys-tals having a melting point (Koefler block) of 206-207C.

Synthesis of 5-(o-methoxy-p-h-e _cyl)-thieno~3,2-c]pyridinium bromide (deriva-tive no 32) Reaction of thieno[3,2-c]pyridine (13.5 g) with ortho-methoxy-phenacyl bromide (21.3 g) according to the procedure of Example 4 gives white crystals (27.34 g) having a melting point ~Koefler block) of 258-260C. --Synthesis of 2-chloro-5-phenacyl-thieno[3,2-c]pyridinium bromide ~derivative no 33) Reaction of 2-chloro-thieno[3,2-c]pyridine (17 g) with phenacyl bromide (20 g) according to the procedure of Example 2 gives white crystals (2g.60 g) having a melting point (Koefler block) of 239C.

Using analogous procedures, the following derivatives are obtained from thieno[3,2-c]pyridine and the appropriate halide of formula III:
- derivative no 35: 5-~3,4-dihydroxy-phenacyl)-thieno[3,2-c]-pyridinium chloride (yellowlsh crystals, m.p. greater than 260C) from 3,4-dihydroxy-phenacyl chloride;
- derivative no 36: 5-para-fluoro-phenacyl-thieno[3,2-c]pyridinium chloride (white crystals, m.p. 166C) from p-fluorophenacyl chloride;
- derivative no 37: N-~para-hydroxy-phenacyl)-thieno[3,2-c]-pyridinium chloride (brown powder, m.p. 260C) from p-hydroxyphenacyl chloride;
- derivative no 38: N-~para-methoxy-phenacyl)-thieno[3,2-c]pyridinium bromide (yellowish-white crystals, m.p. greater than 260C) from p-methoxy-phenacyl bromide;
- derivative no 39: N-(meta-methoxy-phenacyl)-thieno[3,2-c]pyridinium bromide (yellow powder; m.p. 240C) from m-methoxyphenacyl bromide.
The results of toxicological and pharmacological tests reported below demonstrate the useful, particularly anti-arrhythmic~ activity of the derivatives of the formula (I).
I Toxicological investigation Said investigation demonstrated the low toxicity of the derivatives of the formula (I).
It concerned the acute toxicity, the subacute toxicity, the chronic toxicity, the tolerance and the teratology of said derivatives.
For indicative purposes, the LD50/2~ hrs/kg body weight in mice, by the intravenous route, is 19 mg for derivative no 31, 18 mg for derivative no 32, 38 mg for derivative no 33, 17.5 mg for derivativc no 34, 16 mg for derivative no 36, 25 mg for derivative no 37, 32 mg for derivative no 38 and 16 mg for derivative no 39.
The subacute and chronic toxicity tests together with the tolerance tests carried out in rats and dogs have shown that the derivatives of the formula ~I) were free from any noxious action; indeed, both the biological examinations carried out during the tests and the macroscopic and pathologic study of the animals sacrificed at the end of the experiments failed to dis-close any anomaly in the treated animals.
The teratologic investigation was carried out in mice, rats and rabbits. It showed that the derivatives of the formula (I) were free from ~
any effect on the fecundation and the gesta~ion of the female animals and pro- -duced no modification of the morphological appearance of the young born during such experimentation. ~ -II. Pharmacological investigation The derivatives of the formula (I) possess important anti-arrhythmic properties.
The tests carried out in rabbits and dogs, according to the method of Schmitt H. and H. Schmitt [Arch. Int. Pharmacodyn., 1960, 127 (1,2)], have shown that at an oral dosage of 5 mg/kg said derivatives protected completely the tes~ animals against arrhythmia induced by barium chloride adminsitration.
There are no regular or dispersed extrasystole bursts i the protec-ted animals.
The same inhibition is also found with respect to other arrhythmia-producing agents such as calcium chloride, K-strophantine, aconi*~ne, isopren-aline, adrenaline and ouabaine.
The anti-arrhythmic properties of the compounds of the formula (I)
3~3 were also investigated by a different method. Rhythm disorders were produced in dogs by ligation of a coronary artery.
It was shown that administration of a derivative of the formula (I) was capable of restoring the sinus rhythm and of improving the perturbed elec-tric activity of the heart by causing a reappearance of a rhythmic ventricular activity.
The toxicological and pharmacological investigations reported above demonstrate the good tolerance of the compounds of the formula I and their outstanding anti-arrhythmic action. They may be formulated for oral adminis-tration as tablets, coated tablets, capsules and drops. They may also be formulated as suppositories for rectal administration and as injectable ampoules for parenteral administration.
Each unit dose contains advantageously from 0.005 g to 0.100 g ofderivative of the~formula (I) together with therapeutically compatible excipi~
ents, the daily dosage regimen varying within a range from 0.005 g to 0.300 g.
In view of their anti-arrhythmic action, the derivatives of the formula ~I) are usefully applicable therapeutically whenever it is desired to obtain an anti-arrhythmic action either on a healthy heart or on rhythm dis-orders subsequent to a previous infarction. They exhibit good clinical and ~0 biological tolerance in view of the fact that no signs of blood, renal or liver toxicity could be detected by the routine examinations effected on the patients undergoing treatment.
They are applicable in cardiology in cases of ventricular tachycar-dial of ventricular extrasystoles, and in disorders of the cardiac rhythm due to post-digitalization myocardial hyperexcitability. They are also anesthesi- ;~
ologically applicable in the preparation for heart surgery, and for general surgery in old people.
