-3- AHP-8a25 More specifically, the compounds of this invention are useful for the prophylactic treatment as well as for the management of anaphylacffc re-actions and ~topic allergic manifestations, or ~YAmrle, bronchiat asthma, hay fever, allergic rhinitis, allergic conj~~ ivilies, ood allergies, urticaria and the like, in a sensitiæed mflmm~l The prevention or treatment of altergic reactions in a mammat by administration of a compound of formula I is demonstrated by using known anti-~llergic tests in an appropriste ~nimat model.
Ln one such test for the determination of useful anti-allergic activity, the compounds of formula I are tested using the passive paw anaphylaxis (PPA) method, described by R.R. Martel Qnd J. Klicius, Int. Archs. Allergy Appl. Immun., 54, 205 (1977). In this method, reaginic antibody-induced hypersensitivity is produced in the rat hindpaw. IncreQsed vasculQr permeability is determined by measuring the increase in paw volume. An effective anti-allergic drug inhibits the increase in paw volume when compared to the untreated reaginic hyper-sensitive controls. In this test, the foltowing illustrative compounds o formula I are effective anti-allergic agents when administered at an intraperitoneat dose of 30 mg/kg of body weight: 4-oxo-lOH-pyrimido[1,2-a] pyrrolo[2,1-c] ~,4] -b~n70di~epine-3-carboxylic acid, ethyl ester causes a 53% inhibition at 15 minutes of the increase in paw volume; 8~methyl-4-oxo-lOH-pyrimido[l,~-a]pyr-rolo~291-c] ~,4] benzotlin~epine-3-carboxylic acid, ethyl ester causes a 56% in-hibition at 15 minutes of the increase in pnw volume; 8-chlolo 4 o2~10II ~ylilllido-~2-a] pyrrolo[2,1-c] ~,4] benzodiazepine-3-carboxylic acid, ethyl ester causes a 58% inhibition At 15 minutes of the increase in paw volume; and 7-chloro-4-oxo-lOH~pyrimidon,2~] wrrolo[2,1-c] ~,4] b~n~odi~7epine-3-c~rboxylic acid, ethyl ester causes a 19% inhibition at lS minutes of the increase in paw volume.When the compounds of formuta I of this invention are used for sup-pressing allergic manifestations of ~naphylactic reactions and atopic hypersen-SitiYity in a mnrllmnl, they are used alone or in combination with pharmacolo-gically acceptable carriers, the proportion oE which is determined by the solu-bility and the chemical nature of the compound, chosen route of administration and standard biological practice.

-4- AHP-8225 For example, they are e(-lmini~tered orQlly in solid form i.e. capsule or tablet. They can also be administered orally in the form of suspensions or solutions or they may be injected parenterally. They can be administered p&r enterelly by the nasal routel for instance, as drops or aerosol; or by inhalation from an aerosol.
In addition, the compounds of this invention can be administered in conjuncffon with common anti-allergic agents, for example, known compounds effeoting anti-histaminic, analgesie, central nervous system d~pressnnt, anti-hypertensive, immunosupressive, anti-bradykinin, anti-serotonin or endocrinol~
gical responses.
The tablet compositions for oral ~mini~ration contain the active ingredient in admixture with non-toxic pharmaceutical excipie~ts known to be suitable in the manufacture of tablets. Suitable pharmaceutical excipients are~
for example, starch, milk sugar, certain types of cl~y and so forth. The tabletscan be uncoated or they can be coated by known techniques so QS to delay dis-integration and nbsorption in the gastrointestinal trQct and thereby provide a sustained action over a longer period.
The aqueous suspensions of the compounds of formula I for oral ad-ministration contain the active ingredient in adrnixture with one or more non-toxic pharmaceutical excipients known to be suitable in the m~nufacture of aqueous suspensions. Suitable excipients are, for example~ methylcellulose, sodium ~1-ginate, gum acaciQ, lecithin and so forth. The aqueous suspensions can also contain one or more preser v~tives~ one or more coloring agents, one or more ~lavoring agents and one or more sweetening agents.
Non~aqueous suspensions for oral administration can be formulRted by suspending ~he active ingredient in ethyl alcohol, in a vegetable oil, for ex-ample, arachis oil, olive oil, sesame oil, or coconut oil, or in R mineral oil, for example liquid paraffin, and the suspension may contain a thickening agent, for example beeswax or hard paraffirl. These compositions can also contflin a sweet-ening agent, ilavoiing ngent and antioxidant.
~or administration to Q mammal by parenteral injection, it is pre-ferred to use the compounds of formlda I in solution in a sterile agueous vehicle
-5- AHP-8225 which may also contain other solutes, such as buffers or preservatives, as well as sufficient quantities of pharmaceutically ~cceptable salts or of glucose to make the solution isotonic.
The compounds of formula I can also be administered as nasal powders or insufflations. For such purposel the compounds are administered in finely 5 divided solid form together with a pharmaceuffcally acceptable solid carrier, for example, a finely divided polyethylene glycol (e.g. "Carbowax 1540") or finely divided lactose. Such compositions may also contain other excipients in finely divided solid form. "Carbowax" is a trademark.
For Rdministering the compounds of this invention by inhalation 10 from an aerosol, the compound of formula I is dissolved in water or eth~nol and mixed with Q volatile propellant, for example, dichlorotetrafluoroethane and dichlorodifluoromethane, and placed in a pressurized container having a metering valve to release a predetermined amount of material.
The dosage of the compounds of formula I as anti-allergic agents 15 will vary with the form of administration and the particular compound chosen.Furthermore, it will vary with the particular host as well as the age, weight and condition of the host under treatment as well as with the nature and extent of the symptoms. Gener~lly, treatment is initiated with small dosages substan-tially less than the optimum dose of the compound. Thereafter, the dosage 20 is increased by small increments until the optimum effect under circumstancesis reached. In general, the compounds of this invention are most desirably ad-ministered at a concentration level that will generally afford effective resultswithout causing any harmeul or deleterious side effects. For example, an ef-fective anti-allergic amount of n compound of formula I usually ranges from 25 about 0.1 mg to about 500 mg per kg of body weight per day in single or divided doses, although Q~ aforementioned, variations will occur. However, a dosage level that is in the range from about 0.5 mg to about 200 mg per kg of body weight per day in single or divided dose is employed most desirably in order to achieve effective results.

(VI I) With reference to the above re~ction scheme, most of the compounds of formulae IY, ~ ~nd ~I are described by W.B~ Wright et ~1., J. Med. Chem., 23, 462 (1980) or they cRn be prepared in an analogous manner. ~or example, qrnd~nQntion of the compound of formula I~ in which Rl and R2 are as defined herein wlth 2-pyrroloc~rbonitrile in the pres~nce of sodium hydride in dimethyl-formamide at about -30 to 40 C gives the corresponding compound of formula IV in which R and R ' are RS defined herein. HydrogenRtion of the compound of formuIa IV in the presence of 10% pall~dium on charcoal catalyst in methanol gives the corresponding compound of form~a V in which Rl and R2 are ~s defined herein. Cycliz~tlon of the compound of formula V with benzyl trimethyIammonium 3~ hydroxide in toluene at ~bout 100 to 115 C a~fords the corresponding compound of formulQ VI in which Rl and R2 are QS defined herein.

~7;2~

-7~ AHP 8225 The compound of formula VI in which Rl and R2 are a5 defined herein is condensed with a compound of formula VII in which R3 is as defined herein at about 50 to 100 C for about 15 rninutes to 5 hours to obtain the col~e~ ding compound of formlda ~ in which Rl, R2 and R3 are as defined herein. An inert organic solvent ~an be used as a reaction medium or, preferably9 an excess 5 of the compound of formula VII can also act as a solvent for the cond~n~ation re~ction.
Cyclization of the compound of formula II in which Rl, R2 and R3 are as defined herein gives the corresponding compound of formula I in which Rl, R2 and R3 arP as defined herein. The cyclization can be achieved by reacting10 the compound of formula II with a catalytic amount of sodium or potassium aL"oxide, preferubly about 0.1 to 0.5 molar equivalents of sodium aL'coxide in a lower aL'canol at about 20 to 50 C for about 30 minutes to 5 hours. In a pr~
ferred method of cyclization, the compound of formula Il is dissolved in an inert organic solvent, preferably a eutectic mixture of biphenyl and diphenyl-15 eneoxide, and the solution is heated at about 250 to 300 C for about 30 minutesto 3 hours.

ll-Amino-7-methyl-SH-pyrrolol2,1-c] ~,4] ben7o ~ epine (VI: Rl = Me and R2 20 = H) Sodium hydride (50% d~spersion, 15.50 g, 323 mmoles) was added in small portions to a solution of 2-wrrolecarbonitrile (~9.0 g, 315 mmoles) in dry dimethylformamide (DMF) (800 mL) stirred under nilloge.l below -30 C
during 20 min. After no more hyd~O~ - evolved, a solutior! of 5-methyl-2-nitro-25 benzyl chloride (50.0 g, 270 mmoles) in DMF (200 mL) WRS added dropwise tothe reaction mixture. The internal temperQture of the reaction mixture was allowed to rise to room temperature over a period of 1 hour. The dark solution was then poured onto ice-water containin~ dilute hydrochloric acid. The crude tan solid was collècted by filtration and crystallized from diethyl ether-hexane30 to give 1-(S-methyl-2-nitrobenzyl)-2-pyrrolecarbonitrile as an off-white solid (53.37 g), mp 97-98 C.

The latter compound (S0.0 g, 207 mmoles) was dissolved in methanol (1 liter) and stirred at room temperatwe with 10% Pd/charcoal catalyst (5.00 g) under ]ly~ogt:nation conditions. The catalyst WQS then recovered by filtration through a cake of diatomaeeon~ earth and the soluffon was concentrated. The crude residue was purified by filtration and the material thus obtained was finally rec. ~ ~lallized from cyclohexane to yield 1-(5-methyl-2-aminobenzyl~
2-pyrroleeArbonitrile as off-white crystals (30.7 g), mp 111-112 C.
The latter compound (1.00 g, 4.73 mmoles) was stirred in boiling toluene (15 mL) in the presence of benzyl trimethylammonium hydroxide (40%
in meth~nol, 0.6 mL) for 3 hr. The mixture was cooled in ice-water to afford white crystals, mp 218-al9 C (460 mg). Recryst~llliPation from ethyl acetate-hexane afforded the title compound; mp 224-225 C and IR (mineral oil) 3420, 3290, 3060,1645,1575 and 1520 cm 1.
