51 Systemic blood pressure (SBP) A catheter connected to a pressure transducer was in-serted into the right femoral artery, 6) Heart rate (HR) Heart rate was measured by a cardiotachometer using pulse pressure as trigger pulse.

7) Electrocardiogram ~ECG~
An electrocardiogram was recorded according to an uni-polar lead in the cardiac surface using different electrode set on a portion of anterior wall of left ventricle.
In addition to test Items 1 - 7 above, some of the test animals were subjected to the measurement of renal blood flow (RB~) and femoral blood flow ~BF) by attaching an electromagnetic flowmeter probe to the left renal artery and the left femoral artery.

The test compound of Example 1 was dissolved in the physiological saline solution ox in the distilled water and ad-ministered intravenously, orally or sublingually, Nitroglycerin , 10~ 4 1 was administered in the same manner as an acti~e control drug to compare with the test compound.
Results ~I) Intravenous Administration a~ Change in coronary ~lood f:Low Diastolic coronary flow began to increase 10 - 20 se-- conds after the intravenous administration of the test compound with a dose of 10 ~g/kg or more. Systolic coronary flow was in-creased with a dose of 250 ~g/kg or more, accompanied by tran-sient decrease just after the administxation. Mean coronary flowshowed a persistent increase after the administration of the test cQmpound.
The increasing degree of coronary flow is shown in Figs. 1 and 2 in terms of maximum percent change and duration against the values ~efore administration.
The administration of the compound of this invention even in a dose level of 10 ~g/kg i.v. produced a significant in-crease in coronary flow and in a dose level of 500 ~g/kg i v.
caused a increase so remarkable as to appear to be reactive hyperemia. In the latter case, the duration of increase in cor-onar~ flow ~ecame to near 3 hours. The effect of the compound of this invention was superior to that of nitroglycerin, particularly in the duration of action.
~2 Chan~e in left ventricular tension As shown in Fig. 3, the left ventricular tension caused a slight decrease after the intravenous administration of the compound of Example 1 in a dose level of 50 ~g/kg or more. The decrease was almost equivalent to t~at o~ nitroglycerin in the tested dose range. However, the maximum percent decrease was 33~ or less even in a dose level of 500 ~g/kg i,v, .

~lL01~89~4 c) Change in heart rate As shown in Fig. 4, the heart rate showed almost no change ~y the administration of the compound of this invention in a dose level up to 20 ~g/kg i.v., while, in a dose level of 50 yg/kg i.v. or more, presented a s,light dose-dependent decrease to reach 17% in a dose level of 500 ~g/kg i.v. In contrast, the administration of nitroglycerin in a dose level of more than 10 ~g/kg i.v. increased the heart rate.
d~ Change in electrocardiogram As shown in Figs. 5 and 7, PP and QTc intervals were prolonged dose-dependently by the-intravenous administration of the compound of Example 1 with a dose more than 50 ~g/kg, while the PQ interval had almost no change ~y the administration of dose up to 1,000 ~g/kg i.v, e~ Chan~e in systemic blood pressure ~ As shown in Figs. 8, q and 10, the systemic blood pres-sure presented a significant, dose-dependent fall by the intra-venous a*ministration of the test compound in a dose level of more than 50 ~g/kg. The effect of the compound on blood pressure was not stronger thah that of nitroglycerin, but the duration was longer than that produced with nitroglycerin.
f) Change in aortic blood flow As shown in Figs. 11 and 12, the aortic blood flow pre-sented a slight, dose-dependent increase by the intravenous ad-ministration of the compound of Example 1 in a dose level of 10 ~g/ky or more. The percent increase in a dose level of 500 ~g/kg i~Y, reached maxi~um 40%, ~ut the duration was not so long in comparison with the degree of increase in coronary flow.
g) Ch~nge in renal or femoral flow The renal and femoral flows were increased in spite of .

1()8~944 1 a fall in systemic blood pressure hy the intravenous administra-tion of the compound of Example 1 in a dose level of 100 to 250 yg/kg. However, the increase in the renal and femoral flows were less than that in coronary flow concerning the degree and the duration.
From the test results stated a~ove, it was confirmed that the compound of this invention had an increasing effect on coronary flow far superior to that of nitroglycerin and, in addition, it produced a fall in blood pressure, a decrease in '' heart rate and a reduction in cardiac tension, which were not excessive e~en in a high dose level.
Moreover, the fact that the compound of this ln~ention did not disturb the conduction of excitation in the heart as shown in no prolonged PQ interval of elctrocardiogram, indicates that it may be very useful as a drug for ischemic heart disease, The compound could ~e used as an antihypertensive drug or a peripheral vasodilator ~ecause it has a longlasting and mild a~tih~pertensive action and a dilating action ~or femoral and renal vessels, as well as a desira~le effect on ischemic 2~ heart.
~I~ Oral and Su~lingual Administration The compound prepared according to Example 2 was sub-lingually administered to dogs as a tablet containing 1 - 10 mg of the compound. About 2 minutes after the administration~ cor- '' onary flow was apparently increased~ The compound in a dose le~el of 10 mg showed almost no change in systemic blood pressure, cardiac tension and aortic flow. In contrast, the sublingual administration of a tablet containing the hydrochloride of the acti~e compound did not show any substantial increase in coronary flow~ When the compound prepared according to Example 1 or 2 in . ,' ', ,. , '.

1081~ 4 1 either its free form or hydrochloride was intraduodenally admin-istered in a dose level of 50 ~g/kg or more, an apparent, long-lasting increase in coronary flow was observed, From the test results, the compound of this invention may be used as various preparations, such as for parenteral in-jection; or in the form of capsule, tablet, granule or powder for oral administration or in sublingually administrative form.
In contrast, nitroglycerin is not absorbed through the intestinal wall and, therefore, only sublingual administration is available.
Experiment 3 Adultmongrel dogs which had been anesthetized by the intravenous administration of 30 - 40 mg/kg of pentobarbital sod-ium were subjected to thoracotomy under oxygenic ventilation by the use of Bird's respitator. A catheter was inserted towards a proximal direction into a branch of an origin of the left coron-ary artery and a contrast media such as Conlaxin H ~ or Angio-conrei ~ was injected through the catheter. The morphological change in the left coronary artery was filmed using a 35 mm cine-film before and after the injection of the compound. From the analysis, it was found that the coronary artery was remarkably dilated by the intravenous adminstration of the compound of this invention in a dose level of 100 ~g/kg or more.
Experiment 4 The same preparation as in Experiment 2 was set up using adult mongrel dogs anesthestized by the intravenous administration ; of pentobar~ital sodium. The left anterior descending branch or ci-rcumflex branch of the coronary artery was mechanically stric-tured or occluded in the distal side of the portion attaching the electromagnetic flowmeter probe to experimentally induce cardiac ischemic phenomenon, and then the efEect of the compound of Example 1 on the phenomenon was observed.

.. ; ' . ' , ': .

~ 8944 1 Under incomplete stricture, the coronary flow was slightly increased when the compound of Example 1 was intraven-~usly a~ministered in a dose level of 100 ~g/kg or less, while slightly decreased when administrated in a dose level of more than 250 ~g/kg. After the administration of the compound of this invention, ST elevation of the electrocardiogram in the car-diac ischemic portion was apparently improved and, at the same time, the recovery of ventricular tension in an ischemic part was also observed. Under complete occlusion, the compound did not improve ST elevation or ventricular tension in the midpoint of the ischemic pGrtion, but the improvement in the surrounding point of the ischemic portion was recognized.
Similarly, when the tablet containing 10 mg bf the free form of the compound prepared in Example 2 was sublingually administered, the coronary flow was increased and ST elevation in the electrocardiogram and a reduction inventricular tension . ,, i `were improved.
F~periment 5 ~ A papillary muscle isolated from a guinea pig was set in the organ hath filled with the oxygeni~ed Tyrode's solution ~Ca; 1 8 mM, K: 2,7 mMl at 30 C. One end of the muscle was fixed to the organ bath and the other end was connected to a tension meter by a thread. The effect of the compound of Example 1 on the muscle contraction force was observed by giving electric stimulation (2~V, 5 msec, lHz~ to the muscle with an Ag-AgCl electrode. The antagonistic action of the compound against calcium ion or isoproterenol was also investigated.
From the test results, it was found that the contraction of the papillary muscle induced by the electric stimulation was inhi~ited with the application of the compound of this invention ., : ~ .

10~8944 1 in a concentration level of more than 1 ~g/ml and that calcium ion had antagonistic effect against such inhibitory action. On the other hand, when isoproterenol was applied in a concentration level of 0.08 ~g/ml, the papillary muscle exhi~ited excessive excitement to produce two or more irregular contractions per single electric stimulation. Under this state, the addition of the compound of this invention to the solution in a concentration level of more than 2 ~g/ml inhi~ited the excessive excitement.

~II) A spiral strip isolated from the dog coronary artery was set in the organ ~ath filled with a Ca -free Lock's solution.
One end of the strip was fixed to the organ bath and the other end was connected to a tension meter, The effect of the compound of Example l on the contraction of the strip induced by the polar-ization of the solution with the addition of 43 mM of K and 1 mM
of Ca~+ was investigated.
The test results showed that the contraction induced by K depolarization was inhibited by the compound of this invention and such inhibitary action was diminished by the add-ition of Ca++.
(III~ The effect of Ca on the increase in coronary flow wasinvestigated using the dog anesthetized with pento~arbital sodium according to the same procedure as in Experiment 2-(Ij. The in-crease in coronary 10w induced by the administration of the com-pound of this invention was inhi~ited by a larger dose o Ca +.
(IV~ Taenia coli of a guinea pig was suspended in the organ bath filled with Tyrode's solution and the effect or the compound of Example 1 on the spontaneous contraction and the contraction induced ~y K depolarization was investigated.
The test results showed that the spontaneous contraction and the K depolarization induced contraction were inhi~ited ~y .. . . . . .

1 application of the co~pound in a concentration level of 2 ~g/ml and such inhibitary action was diminished ~ the addition of Ca Analysis of the test results indicates that the com-pound of the present invention has an antagonistic action to Ca r 50 that the inhibitory action to cardiac contraction the dilating action to smooth muscle of dog coronary artery and the inhibitory action to contraction of taenia coli of guinea pig induced by the application of the c~mpound were antagonized by the addition of Ca~. Further, it was also found that the com-pound of this invention has an antiarrhythmic action because thecompound inhibited the excessi~e excitement of papillary muscle induced ~y the administration of isoproterenol, Experiment 6 The ~lood flow was made insufficient by loading exper-imentally the coronary artery of a dog, for example, ~y strict-uring the coronary artery for a certain period of time, and the ^ , artery was allowed to sustain in this condition. According to this treatment~ its peripheral ~lood pressure and peripheral blood flow repeated periodical and spontaneous fluctuations with-in minutes order period accompanied with ST elevation in electro-cardiogram. This phenomenon was closely similar to the fit of variant angina pectoris in a clinical case, The periodical fluctuation has been proved to ~e caused by the periodical spas-mus in the strictured coronary artery. The effect of the com-pound on such a Yariant angina pectoris model was investigated.
The test results show that the periodical fluctuations -in the coronary ~lood pressure and coronary flow was inhibited ~y the intravenous administration of the compound of Example 1 in a dose level of 25Q ~g/kg or more. That is, the periodical fluctuation in blood flow apparently reduced, and only fine 10~3944 1 fluctuations remained. The effective duration o~ the inhi~itory action ranged from 25 to 40 minutes.
As stated ak,ove, the compound of this invention is ~elievea to ~e effective on the treatment of variant angina pect-oris.
