The compositions according to the invention have interesting physiological properties. They may be conveniently administered orally or rectally, e.g. in solid or dissolved forms. If the particular xanthine derivative according to the invention desired is readily soluble in water, it may also be administered parenterally.
If desired the compositions according to the invention may additionally comprise one or more further ingredients being pharmacodynamically active, such as for example vitamins.
Suitable forms of administration of the compositions of the invention are, for example, solutions, emulsions, tablets, coated tablets, capsules, mic~ocapsules, powders, syrups, suppositories, granulates or forms adapted to provide a sustained release of active ingredient, and these may be prepared in a manner known per se using excipients conventional therefor such :
~Z3~35 as, for example, carriers; disintegrants;binders; coatings;
swelling, sliding or lubri~ating agents; flavourings;
sweetners; agents providing a sustained release effect; and solubilising agents Examples of such additives are lactose,mannitol, talcum, milk protein, starch, gelatin, cellulose or its derivatives such a~ methyl c~llulose, hydroxyethyl cellulose or suitable swelling or non-swelling copolymers, By the use of extenders, which can be used in lesser or greater amounts,the decomposition of the preparation and, as a result the re].ease of the active ingredient, may be controlled, The compositions of the present invention may be presented in the form of injectible solutions of compounds Or general ~ormula I in sterile water, e,g, in double distilled water, As indicated above they may also be in a solid form preferably in dosage unit form, if desired in a form giving delayed release of the active ~ -ingredient(s) Dosage unit formulations o~ the compositions preferably contain, according to the particular degree of activity, from 10 to 1000 mgt generally up to 400 mg and especially up to 200 mg, of the active ingredient of formula I, Thus, the average quantity of the compounds of forrrula I- administered is in the range of 0,2 to 20 mg per kg of body weight, Dosage units may be administered once or more -times daily, the number of administrations depending on the particular content of active ingredient and on the type of administration, More frequent administration is recommended if for example the dosage unit has only a small contet~t of active substance; but on the other hand if the content is relatively high, the compositions may be administered only for example once a day, If, further, the composition is supplied in sustained release form, administration may be restricted to at least once a day, The length of time over which administration may be effected during treatment may range from one to several weeks, although if necessary and/or desired the compositions rnay be administered over much longer periods, - 17 - .

Investi~ation of brain c rculation in cats A heat-conduction prove was used to measure local `- brain circulation(in the cortex), The method necessary to measure heat conduction was adopted in detail from the experiments described by Betz et al, in (1) Betz et al,: Pflugers Arch, ges, Physiol. 288, 389 (.1966), ,

The tests were conducted on anaesthetised cats (sodium pentabarbital 35 mg/kg body weight i.p.). Blood pressure was measured in a femoral artery using a Statham device.
Table 1 indicates for some of the alkenyl-xanthines according to the invention prepared, the duration of activity as a half-value time (HVT) and the intensity of activity as the difference in the heat-conduction number ~ (Q~= ~after ~~before) in comparison with corresponding values for the vasotherapeutic product aminophylline. The results indicate that the substances contained in the compositions according to the invention have a superiority both in the intensity of the effect and in the duration of activity from fluvographic measurement of brain circulation in cats.
