iZ58~55 One of the objects of the present invention is to provide various preparation procedures for the new coumarin derivatives.
Another object of the present invention is to 5provide methods for thP use of the new coumarin compounds as therapeutic agents.
A further object of the invention is to provide pharmaceutical compositions which contain at least one of the new coumarin compounds as an active ingredient.
10These and other objects and advantages of the present invention will become apparent to those skilled in the art from a consideration of th~
following specification and claims.
The hydrocarbyl groups in formula (I) are 15aliphatic, araliphatic or alicyclic groups and R6 and R7 may also represent aromatic hydrocarbyl ~roups.
These groups can be unsubstituted or substituted, saturated or unsaturated and can be in~errupted in the carbon atom chain by heteroatoms such as oxygen, 20sulfur or nitrogen. Of the aliphatic groups thus defined, alkyl groups having preferahly l to 7 carbon atoms and especially from l to 4 carbon atoms should be noted. The unsaturated hydrocarbon groups may be alkenyl or polyunsaturated groups such as alkyldienyl, lZS8~5 alkyltrienyl and the like having from 1 to 7 carbon atoms, preferably from 1 to 4 carbon atoms. Among the unsaturated aliphatic groups, alkenyl groups having from 2 to 4 carbon atoms are particularly worthy of mention. All of these groups may for~ linear or branched chains. Of the ~licyclic groups as described above, the ones with a simple saturated ring should particularly be mentioned, that is, the cycloalkyl monocyclic ~roups and especially those with 3 to 7 carbon atoms in the ring, and more particularly from 5 to 7 carbon atoms in the ring. Alicyclic unsaturated groups having 3 to 7, preferably 5 to 7, carbon atoms in the ring may be used. These groups may have one or more double bonds in their cycle, such as the cycloalkenyl groups with a double bond.
Of the unsubstituted alkvl groups, the following preferred groups should be mentioned: methyl, ethyl, propyl, isopropyl, butyl, isobutyl and tert-butyl.
Preferred unsubstituted alkenyl groups include vinyl, allyl, propenyl, isobutenyl, 2-butenyl and 2-pentenyl.
Exe~plary cycloal~yl groups include cyclopropyl, cyclobutyl, cyclopentyl, cyclohexyl and cycloheptyl.
Suitable unsubstituted cycloalkenyl groups include cyclopentenyl and cyclohexenyl. The hyarocarbyl aliphatic ~roups, like the above-mentioned alkyl 12S8 ~55 groups, may however also be substituted by aromatic hydrocarbyl groups, especially for example by phenyl, which may in turr. be substituted by various ~unctions, for example from 1 ~o 3 halogen atoms tparticularly chlorine and/or bromine) or by alkyl groups having 1 to 4 carbon atoms such as methyl.
The alicyclic groups include the cycloalkyl and cycloalkenyl groups, such as those mentioned above, having from 3 to 7 and especi~lly bet~een 5 and 7 carbon atoms in the ring, substituted for example by 1 to 3 alkyl groups having for example from 1 to 7, and especially from 1 to 4, carbon atoms, such as methyl, ethyl, propyl and/or isopropyl. The aromatic hydrocarbon groups directly bound to the coumarin ring, such as the R6 and R7 groups, are generally phenyl groups which may be substituted for example by 1 to 3 functions, especially chlorine and/or bromine atoms or by alkyl groups having from 1 to 4 carbon atoms, particularly methyl groups.
The hydrocarbyl groups, and especially the aliphatic and alicyclic groups iike all those already mentioned, can be interrupted in the carbon atom chain by heteroatoms, especially by one heteroatom, as in particular by oxygen, sulfur or nitrogen and may be substituted by functions, preferably one or two, for ~.2S8455 example halogens, free or protected alcoholic functions, free or protected carbonyl groups, free or protected carboxylic groups or free or su~stituted amine groups.
S Halogens are especially represented by fluorine, chlorine and bromine. Among the protected alcoholic functions, etherified or esterified hydroxy groups should have special mention.
The etherifying groups may correspond to each of the above-mentioned hydrocarbyl groups, particularly alkyl groups having 1 to 7, preferabiy 1 to 4, carbon a~oms or cycloalkyl moieties having 3 to 7 carbon atoms in the ring, such as the following groups:
methyl, ethyl, isopropyl, cyclopropyl, cyclobutyl and cyclohexyl. The esterified hydroxyl groups may be derived from organic or inorganic acids, for example from acids of the aliphatic, araliphatic, aromatic or alicyclic series, having from 1 to 15 carbon atoms, for example from lower aliphatic acids having from 1 to 7 carhon atoms, such as formic acid, acetic acid, propionic acid, the butyric acids, trimethylacetic acid, caproic acid, succinic acid, phenylacetic acid, benzoic acid, the trimethoxybenzoic acids and the chlorobenzoic acids. The ester groups may also be derived from organic sulfonic acids, especially from alkylsulfonic acids containing from 1 to 7 carbon ~Z5E3~55 atoms, such as methanesulfonic acid, or from arylsulfonic acids, such as those containing only one aromatic ring, such as para-toluenesulfonic acid.
Ester groups derived from inorganic acids include for example, sulfuric acid, the phosphoric acids and the hydracids, such as hydrochloric or hydrobro~.ic acid.
Among the protected carbonyl functions, the ketal groups should be mentioned, especially cyclic ketal groups, such as those derived from ethylene glycol or propylene glycol. Among the protected carboxylic functions, the esters and amides should especially be mentioned. The esterifying groups ma~ correspond to each of the above-mentioned hydrocarbyl groups, particularly alkyl groups having 1 to 7, preferably 1 to 4, carbon atoms, or cycloalkyl groups having 3 to 7 carbon atoms in the ring, such as methyl, ethyl, isopropyl, cyclopentyl and cyclohexyl.
The amide groups may be the free amido group -CON~2 or an amide substituted at the nitrogen atom, 'O such as the groups deriving from the amine groups exemplified below. The amine group can be ~ree or substituted by hydrocarbyl groups, the substituting groups being, for example, the above-mentioned ones, especially alkyl groups having 1 to 7, prererably 1 to 4, carbon atoms, such as methyl, ethyl or isopropyl, or cycloalkyl groups having 3 to 7, preferably from 5 to 7, carbon atoms in the ring thereof, such as cyclopropyl, cyclobutyl, cyclopentyl or cyclohexyl.
The amine groups may be derived from primary or secondary amines, that is, one or two of the hydrocarbyl substituent group~ may be present. Thus, for example, the amine group may be the -NH2 group or a methylamine, ethylamine, propylamine or dimethylamine groop.
These amine groups may in turn be substituted in their hydrocarbyl residues by othèr functional groups such as a free or pro~ected hydroxyl group, and the free or substituted amine group, such groups being preferably those just mentioned hereinabove. The above-mentioned functions may be found in any position in the chain of carbon atoms of the hydrocarbyl groups, such as in the alpha, beta or gamma position with respect to the coumarin ring. For example, an alkyl group such as Rl, R6 or R7 may especially be a -CO-R group, in which R is a hydrocarbyl group, unsubstituted for instance, such as an acyl group, 3 C2~5, CO-C3H7, etc. Specifically therefore:
- Rl may be a hydrocarbyl group as defined, or a halogenr such as fluorine, chlorine or bromine.

1~8455 ~ R2 may be a hydrogen atom or one of the hydrocarbyl groups previously defined.
- R3 and R~ may be, considered separately, one of the hydrocarbyl groups previously define~.
The groups R3 and R4 jointly may also represent a bivalent aliphatic hydrocarbyl sroup bound to nitrogen by ~wo valences s~arting from two different carbon atoms (alkylene groups). The alkylene tor alkylenic) groups usually have from 2 to 7 and especially from 2 to 5 carbon atoms and can contain double bonds and be a linear or branched chain. ExPmplary alkylene groups incluce ethylenic, trimethylenic, tetramethylenic,
2-methyltrime~hylenic, pentamethylenic, esamethylenic - and groups derived therefrom by substitution with one or more methyl or ethyl groups. These hydrocarbyl groups may or may not be substituted by functions, as in the previously mentioned case of the monovalent hydrocarbyl groups and/or they may be interrupted in the carbon atom chain by heteroatoms, such as oxygen, sulfur or nitrogen (-IH~ in particular. Whenever R3 and R4 jointly represent an alkylene group they form, with the nitrogen atom, heterocyclic monoazotate systems, that is, azacycloalkyl groups, and when the ~Zs~45~

alkylene group represented b~ R3 and R4 is interrupted by a heteroatom, hetero-azacycloalkyl groups are formed. Of the azacycloalkyl groups, the following are worthy of special mention: pyrrolidino, pi pe ri di no , 3 - hy dr o xy pi p eri G ino an d 4-hydroxypiperidino. Of the bivalent or polyvalent heteroatoms interrupting the carbon atom chain of the alkylenic group R3, R4 ~he following should especially be mentioned: oxygen, sulfur, nitrogen or the group which may be substituted by an aliphatic hydrocarbyl group, especially an alkyl group having 1 to 7, particularly 1 to 4, carbon atoms, such as methyl, ethyl or isopropyl, which in turn may be substituted by one or more, for instance from 1 to 3 free or protected hydroxyl groups like those already mentioned, and/or may be interrupted in the carbon atom chain thereof by heteroatoms like those already mentioned above.
Of the hetero azacycloalkyl groups, the following are worthy of special mention: the morpholino, thiomorpholino, piperazino, N-ethylpip~razino and N-hydroxyethylpiperazino rings.

~ 2SB455 The group R5 is a hydrogen atom or a halogen as previously described for Rl or one of the hydrocarbyl groups also as previously described or a free or protected hydroxyl group. A protected hydroxyl group means an etherified or esterified group as defined above. The etherifying groups are especially Cl-C7, preferably Cl-C4, alkyl groups such as methyl, ethyl or isopropyl, or cycloalkyl groups having 3 to 7, preferably 5 to 7, carbon atoms in the ring, such as the cyclopentyl and cyclohexyl groups.
The R6 and R7 moieties are both hydrogen atoms or one of the hydrocarbyl groups previously defined by Rl or one of the aromatic hydrocarbyl groups also described above.
Of the compounds of formula (I) according to the invention, preferred are those in which:
- Rl is a hydrocarbyl group having from l to 7 and preferably from l to 4 carbon atoms or a halogen.
- R2 is a hydrogen atom or a hydrocarbyl group having from l to 7 and preferably from l to 4 carbon atoms, possibly substituted by a free carboxylic group or a carboxylic group esterified with an alkyl having from l to 7 and preferably l to 4 carbon atoms.

~ZS8455 - R3 and R4 are both alkyl g~oups with from 1 to 7 and preferabiy with 1 to 4 carbon atoms and R3 and R4 jointly form an alkylene grou~ with from 2 to 7 carbon atoms which may be interrupted in the carbon atom chain by an atom of oxygen or sulfur or by an -NH- or -IR group in which R represents an alkyl having 1 to 7 and preferably 1 to 4 carbon atoms which may be substituted by one or more, for instance from 1 to 3 free or etherified hydroxyl groups derived from an aliphatic alcohol having from 1 to 7 and preferably from 1 to 4 carbon atoms or esterified with an organic aliphatic acid having from 1 to 7 carbon atoms.
- R5 is hydrogen or a free or esterified hydroxyl group with an aliphatic alcohol having 1 to 7 and lS preferably 1 to 4 carbon atoms.

The hydroxyl groups may also be substituted with phenyl or phenylalkyl having from 1 to 7 and preferably from 1 to 4 carbon atoms in the aliphatic part and in which groups the phenyl may also be substituted by 1 to 3 methyl groups or by 1 to 3 chlorine or bromine atoms.
Of the products mentioned here, it is worth noting those in which Rl is an unsaturated hyd ocarbyl group, especially an alkenyl group having from 2 to 7 carbon atoms, such as the vinyl, allyl, 2-butenyl and isobutenyl groups and wherein R3 and R4 are hydrocarbyl groups~ especially alkyl groups having from 1 to 7, preferably 1 to 4, carbon atoms or R3 and R4 jointly with the nitrogen atom constitute a piperazinyl group which may be substituted in the N'-position by an alkyl group with 1 to 4 carbon atoms, which may be terminally substituted by a free hydroxyl, etherified by an alkyl with 1 to 4 carbon atoms or esterified with an aliphatic organic acid having from 1 to 7 carbon atoms. Alternatively, R3 and R4 jointly with the nitrogen atom represent the morpholino or thiomorpholino group or the pyrrolidino or piperidino groups which may be C-substituted by a 2, free or etherified hydroxyl group with an alkyl having ~ Z ~ ~ ~ 5 S

1 to 4 carbon atomr or esterifie~ with an organic aliphatic acid having 1 tO 7 carbon atoms.

The compound~ of formula (I) may be salified by known methods and these salts are also an object of the present invention. Of these salts, those obtained 1~ by adding acids are par~icularly important. These are obtained in a conventional manner by treatment with suitable acids. Therapeuticallv acceptable acids such ~Z5~55 as hydrochloric, hydrobromic, sulfuric, the phosphoric acids, methanesulfonic, malic, tartaric and succinic acid are suitably used. Nontherapeutic acids may however also be used, thus ob~aining salts which can S be u~ed for the puri~ica~ion of the products, such as picric acid and picrolonic acid. The compounds of formula (I) in which Rl represents hydrogen (identifiable as compounds of formula IA) may be transformed into metal salts or organic bases by salifying a phenolic group in the 7-position with these bases. These salts are also an object of the invention and may be used in place of the acid addition salts or free compounds for pharmaceutical or medical purposes. T~e alkali metal salts, for instance, the sodium-and potassium salts, as well as the ammonium salt are worthy of special mention.
The compounds of formula (I) and their salts are active in preventing platelet aggregation. For example, these compounds exhibit this activity ln Vit~Q at a concentration of between 10 /ml and 1000Y
/ml, as the following experiments show.

~C~
Aggregation is evaluated by an aggregometer ELVI
840 according to Born's method (Nature L2~, 927, 1962).

This activity is to be se en for instance aft er administration o~ doses of between 0.2 mg/kg and 10 mg/kg by the oral route, as illustrated by the following experiments.

Experiment B
1 x 105 3LL carcinoma cells (Lewis lung carcinoma) are implanted by intramuscular injection in the paws of male mice of the C57Bl/6J strain, weishing about 20-22 g. This operation is effected as described in the litèrature (Poggi A. et al. Cancer Res. 37, 272-277, 1977). The growth of the tumor is observed until the 25th day a~ter transplant. On this day the animals are sacrificed and the primary tumor and lungs are removed in order to evaluate the grow.h of the primary - ~2 -~;2S~3455 tumor and the number of metastases. Pharmacological treatment by the oral route besins 2 days before transplant cf the tumor and continues until sacrifice.
The substances are dissolved in tap water and are changed every 24 hours.
In a separate experiment, the anticoagulating ~ctivity of the compounds is verified on the same strain of mice at the same doses used for antimetastatic activity evaluation.
10The effect on coagulation is measured by a thrombotest on capillary blood taken from the retroorbital cavity (Owren, P.A. et al. Lancet iL~
754-758, 1959).
Table 2 reports the results obtained with the two iScoumarin derivatives 19 and 26, previously mentioned in comparison to Warfarin, the well-known antitumor and antimetastatic compound, which is also a coumarin derivative. Warfarin's antimetastatic acti~ity is widely documented both experimentally (Zacharski, L.R.
et al. Cancer 44, 732-741, 1979 and Poggi, A. et al.
Lancet i 163-164, 1978; and clinically (Zacharski, L.R. et al. J. Am. MedO Assoc. ~, 331-835, 1981).
Indeed, Warfarin has an antimetastatic effect on 'Lewis lung carcinoma', syngeneic with mice of the ~5~4S5 C57Bl/6J strain, causing spontaneous metastasis in the lungs 2fter in~ramuscular implantation of tumoral cells. This effect is measured by the number of metastases (Zacharski, L.R. et al. Cancer ~, 732-741, 1979 and Poggi, A. et al. Lancet i 163-164, 1978).
Clinically speaking, treatment with Warfarin in association with classic methods such as chemotherapy and radiation, prolongs survival time in patients with lung carcinoma. ~owever, Warfarin in antitumor therapy has the disadvantage of having a strong anticoagulating activity, and it seems ~hat its antitumor action mechanism is mainly linked with this activity. (Donati, M.B. et al. Brit. J. Haematol~ a4, 173-182, 1980).
The anticoagulating effect measured by the "thrombotest", the antitumor effect measured by the decrease in weight of the primary tumor and .he antimetastatic effect shown as the number of metastases present in the lungs, are reported in Table 2. While the antitumor and ar.timetastatic effects of Wararin and the two new products according to the present invention are roughly equal, the strong anticoagulating effect is absent in the two new products of the invention. This is not only a ~2S~3~55 completely unexpected result, but also represents a very important advantage of the new coumarin derivatives of the invention in view of their use as antitumor and antimetas~atic agents.

~zs~ss The compounds which are the object of the present invention have low toxicity, as can be shown by acute toxicit~ studies by the oral route in two animal species:

ExpC~i~$; C
Acute toxic-ty in the ~at: groups of Sprague Dawley rats (male + female) are treated with graduated doses ranging from 0.125 g/k~ of body weight to lOg/kg of body weight of the above mentioned compounds in aqueous solution. The compounds are administered orally by intubation. Subse~uent death may be immediate or may occur at any time up to 14 days after treatment.

In the above mentioned ~rocedure A, the Mannich reaction can be conducted in the known manner. The formic aldehyde may be used as such or may be formed in situ, for example using agents which generate formaldehyde, such as the polymerized or condensed . aldehydes, for example paraformaldehyde or hexamethylenetetramine. All of the solvents recommended or described in the literature for the Mannich reaction may be used. The most suitable ~z~ss solvents are aliphatic alcohols, such as those with 1 to 5 carbon atoms, or aliphatic carboxyl~c acids, such as those with 2 to 4 carbon atoms. In particular, ethyl alcohol or acetic acid, either as such or containi~g water, is suitably employed The amine ~NR3R4 may be used in its free form, or as one of its sal~s, such as the hydrochloride or sulfate. The secondary amines particularly suitable for the preparation of the compounds (I) are dimethylamine, diethylamine, pyrrolidine, morpholine, piperidine, 3-hydroxypiperidine, 4-hydroxypiperidine, N ethylpiperazine and N-hydroxyethylpiperazine.
Condensation according to Mannich's method is generally effPcted at a temperature of between about 20 and 120C., and preferably be~ween about 50 and 90CO ~
In prQGedure B, the above mentioned Rl in the compounds of formula III may be for Pxample an unsaturated aliphatic hydrocarbyl group, particularly an alkenyl group, with a double bond in the beta- or gamma- position, such as an allylic qroup, which is ` transferred in the 8-position by applying a Claisen reaction, carried out by a method which is itself well known. For instance, the starting compound is heated ~ZSI 34s5 to a suitable temperature, such as between 130 and 230C. with or without a solvent. A tertiary aromatic base, such as dimethylaniline or diethylaniline, can be used as the solvent.
Rl may however also represent a substitut~d hydrocarbyl group, for instance an acyl group, such as an acetyl, propionylr butyryl group, etc. In this case, a Fries reaction is used for the transfer of the Rl group in the 8-position and is effected by the known method, for example in the presence of suitable catalysts, such as aluminum chloride in a solvent, which could be for instance carbon disulfide or carbon tetrachloride, at between room temperature and the boiling point of the solvent.
lS In the above mentioned procedure C, some compounds of formula I are obtained in which Rl may be a substituted or unsubstituted hydrocarbyl aliphatic, araliphatic or alicyclic group, introduced in the 8~position by applying a ~riedel-Crafts reaction by the known method.
For example, a suitable derivative containing the ` Rl group is heated and bound to a halogen or an oxyhydryl (haloid, alcohol) with compound IV at a suitable temperature, such as between 50 and 120C.
in the presence of a solvent and a catalyst.

~Z58~55 Hydrocarbons such as petroleum ether, carboxylic aliphatic acids such as acetic acid, haloids or organic sulfides such as carbon disulfide may be used as solvents, and Lewis acids, such as boron trifluoride, zinc chloride, aluminum chloride, ferric chloride or sulfuric acid are used as catalysts.
In pLQ~edure C, Rl may also represent a chlorine or bromine atom. In this case, a halogenation reaction is used for the introduction of the chlorine or bromine atom, by means of the known method for the halogenation of aromatic compounds. For instance, a compoun~ IV is treated with chlorine or bromine and with one of their derivatives in the presence of a solvent and possibly also a catalyst at a suitable temperature.
In the above mentioned pL~c~_~/ the reductive alkylation reaction may be effected in the known way.
Aldehyde V is made to react with the a~ine R4R3N~ in the presence of a suitable reducing agent. Leukart's reaction is usually used, in ~hich case the reducing agent is formic acid, formamide or methylformate. The reaction is carried out in a suitable solvent, such as the same reducing agent, at a temperaturP of between 30 and 100C. In the above mentioned ~LQ~dure D, ~;~58~S5 the conversion of a functionally modified hydroxyl group X in the group -NR3R4 ls obtained by reaction of the compound of formula VI with the amine NHR3R4 in a suitable solvent according to a known method. A
suitable basic compound may be added to the reaction mixtur~, for instance an inorganic base ~uch as sodium or potassium carbonate, or tertiary organic bases such as pyridine.
The most suitable solvents for the alkylation reaction are the aliphatic alcohols and aliphatic ketones with between 1 and 5 carbon atoms. A
functionally modified and reac~ive hydroxyl group is especially a hydroxyl group esterified with a hydracid such as hydrochloric, hydrobromic or hydriodic acid, and in this sense X represents chlorine, bromine or iodine, or an organic sulfonic acid such as an alkylsulfonic acid with between 1 and 7 carbon atoms, for example, methylsulfonic acid or ethylsulfonic acid or an arylsulfonic monocyclic acid such as p-toluenesulfonic or benzen~sulfonic acid.
In the above mentione~ E, one or both of the R3 and R4 groups, as defined for formula I and taken individually and not jointly/ are in~roduced into the -NH~ group of the compound of formula VII
2S where Z represents respectively one of the above mentioned groups or hydrogen, in order to ~Z58~5~

obtain the compound of formula I, for example by an alkylation or reductive alkylation reaction, according to known methods. The alkylation reaction may be carried out using as an alkylating agent a haloid of the R3-Y or R4-Y formula where Y signifies chlorine, bromine or iodine. When starting compounds with the -CH2-NH2 group in position 6 are used, it is possible to introduce two identical R3 or R4 groups using an excess of alkylating agent. With the correct dose of this agent it is possible to introduce just one of the R3 or R~ groups and the compounds thus obtained may be further alkylated, as described above, thus obtaining, if it should be desired, compounds with the two R3 and R4 groups which differ between themselves. The compounds of the two identical R3 and R4 groups may be advantageously obtained by reductive alkylation.
Aldehydes with the same number of carbon atoms and the same substitutions present in the R3 or R4 groups may be used as alkylating agents.

~258~5S

In the above mentioned ~rocedur~ G, the Pechmann reaction may be carried out in the known way. The phenolic compound corresponding to formula VIII is made to react with the carbonyl compound of formula IX
in which the R group corresponds to a hydrogen or an alkyl, preferably with between 1 and 4 carbon atoms.
The reaction is carried out using the usual condensing agents for the Pechmann reaction, such as sulfuric, hydrochloric and polyphosphoric acid, phosphorus oxychloride, aluminum chloride and zinc chloride.
The reaction is generally carried out at a temperature of between about 0 and 80C. In some cases it is advisable to use those solvents which are recommend~d or described in the literature for the Pechmann reaction.
In the above mentioned ~rocedure H, the Perkin's reaction may be carried out in the known way. The aldehyde compound of formula X is made to react with the compound of formula XI in which the R group corresponds to a hydrogen or alkyl~ pre~erably with between 1 and 4 carbon atoms. The reaction is carried out using condensing agents and the solvents recommended or described in the literature ~or the Perkin's reaction. The reaction is generally carried out at a temperature of between 50 and 110C

The optional introduction of a hydrocarbyl R2 group in compounds of formula I~ obtained according to any one of the above mentioned proc~dures may be effected by means of an etherifying reaction using an
- 5 etherifying agent derived from the R2 hydroxy alcohol.
These etherifying agents are for example R2X
alkylation agents, in which R2 signifies a hydrocarbyl group as already described for formula I and X
represents a group derived from the functional modiication of the hydroxyl, or more precisely, of an ester such as a hydracid ester ~and therefore a halogen) or of an inorganic acid such as sulfuric, sulfurous or silicic acid, or of organic sulfonic acids such as the sulfonic acids derived from lower aliphatic hydrocarbons with between 1 and 7 carbon atoms, for example methanesulfonic acid or sulfonic acids derived from aromatic hydrocarbons, especially monocyclic hydrocarbons, such a~ paratoluenesulfonic or ben~enesulfonic acid. X may there~ore generally represent a halogen atom, in particular chlorine, bromine or iodine or an alkyl or arylsulfonyloxy, such as the methyl or ethylsulfonyloxy or ben2ene or p-toluenesulfonyloxy group.

iZS8~SS
The above mentioned esterification reaction, represented by the following diagram, may be effected in the known manner. The compound R2X is made to react with the compounds of formula IA or possibly also with their phenolic salts in a suitable solvent.

-N-CH2 ~ ~ / R7 HO ~ ~ ~oR2 X R20 ~ \ O ~0 . .

I bis A suitable basic compound should be added to the reaction mixture, for instance, an inorganic base such as hydrates or the basic salts of alkali or alkaline earth metals, such as sodium or potassium carbonate, or tertiary organic bases such as pyridine, guinoline, collidine or Huenig's base.

The most suitable solvents for the previously described alkylation reaction are the aliphatic alcohols such as those with between 1 and 5 carbon atoms, aliphatic ketones or aprotic solvents; in particular acetone, methylethylketone, dimethysulfoxide and sulfolane may be employed.

l;~S1~4~5 In some of the preparation procedures for the compounds according to the invention, R2 may represent a pro~ection group of the hydroxyl substitutable by hydrogen, that is, a hydroxyl in the 7-position may be temporarily protected during the reactions of th~
respective procedures and finally liberated. This temporary protection of the hydroxyl group may take place by functional modification as described in the literature, especially by esterification or etherification. Of the esters, it is worth men~ioning those with aliphatic araliphatic or aromatic acids having between 1 and 15 carbon atoms such as those mentioned previously, and also acids which give easily saponifiable esters, for example, halogenated lower aliphatic acids, such as trichloro- or trifluoroacetic ; acid. These ester groups may then be saponified to give the hydroxyl group by well known methods such as alkaline or possibly acid hydrolysis. Of the ethers, those of tertiary lower aliphatic alcohols such as tert-butyl alcohol, which may be hydrolyzed under acid conditions, can be used. Ethers of aliphatic alcohols such as benzyl or nitrobenzyl alcohol may also be prepared and then separated by reduction in ~he known way. The same protection groups may also serve to protect, perhaps temporarily, an R5 hydroxyl group ~l2~89~55 which is then liberated in the same way. In an independently known way, moieties present in the hydrocarbyl substituents in the protected form can also be liberated, that is, functionally modified, where the protecting groups are easily eliminated.
Vice versa, free functions may, if suitable, be converted in~o their functional derivatives. The transformation of a functional, free or modified group into another functional group, an object of the general preparation procedure, may be effected according to methods described in the literature.
The compounds obtained according to the above mentioned procedures can be isolated from the reaction mixture in the known way, for example by extraction with organic solvents, such as aliphatic chlorinated hydrocarbides such as methylene chloride, chloroform, dichloroethane, or esters such as ethylacetate, butylacetate, etc.
Before isolating the reaction products, these may be converted into their salts, which may then be purified. From these salts it is possible to obtain the reaction products in the known manner, for instance by adding a base such as a hydrate of an alkali metal or an ammonium compound or with a suitable ion exchanger.

1;~5~/455 The starting compounds to be used in the above mentioned procedures are well ~nown, as are the methods by which they are prepared. For example, the compounds II used to prepare derivatives I and IA according to procedure A can be prepared from the resorcinol derivatives of the formula:

H ~ H

HO ~\OH`

where Rl and R5 have the significance given for formula I by condensation with betacarbonyl acid esters or from coumarin or coumarinic compounds free from any of the desired substituents in which these are introduced. The starting compounds for procedures B, C, D, E, F are generally obtained by methods which are the same as the above mentioned procedures G and H, while the starting products in these procedures may be obtained from resorcinols or fluoroglucines, possibly substituted or functionally modified by known reactions, such as by introduction of the -CH2-NR3R4 group by a Mannich reaction similar to that used for procedure A. If the resorcinic or coumarinic starting compounds contain carbonyl reactive functions, such as ketonic functions in particular, it is advisable or necessary to protect them before the various reactions such as the Mannich-type condensation reaction~
Protection of the carbonyl functions for example is effected by one of the known methods such as by action of an ethylene glycol under anhydrous conditions in the presence of acid catalysts. Once the Mannich condensation has been obtained, the carbonyl functions can be regenerated by hydrolysis in an acid aqueous solvent.
The coumarin derivatives of formula I ~and therefore also of formula IA) according to the present invention may be used as drugs in pharmaceutical preparations intended for administration to man or animals by intramuscular, subcutaneous or intradermic routes, by injection or intravenous infusion. These preparations may therefore be formulated as solutions of the active compounds or as freeze-dried powders of the active compounds to be mixed with one or more excipients or diluents which are acceptable from a pharmaceutical point of view, and suitable for the above mentioned means of administration and with an osmolarity compatible with physiological liquids.

Furthermore, the therapeutic compounds of formula I (and therefore also formula IA) of the present invention may be in solid or semi-solid form and may be administered by the oral or rectal route, in the form of tablets, sugar-coated pills, gelatinous opercula, suppositories, soft gelatine capsules mixed with pharmaceutically acceptable excipient~ and suitable for this use, or in the form of creams/
ointments or sprays for local, such as topical, use.
The preparations accordins to the present invention generally contain between 0.01% and 10% by weight of the active component for the solutions, sprays, ointments and creams and between 1% and 100%, preferably between 5% and 50% by weight, of the active component for the preparations in solid form. The dosage to be administered depends on the prescription, the desired effect and the chosen route of administration.
The preparations presented in Examples 29 and 30 may be administered directly to animals or human patients by one of the routes described. Examples 29 and 30 show a few possible pharmaceutical compositions which can be prepared for the treatment of tumor pathologies or platelet hyperaggregation pathology.

12584$5 The pharmaceutical compositions shown in Example 29 are prepared using a double container made of glass.
The first contains the active substance in the form of a freeze-dried powder together with a pharmaceutically S acceptable excipient. The second container is filled with the desired quantity of solvent. Not until just before administration are the contents of the two flacons mixed and ~he active substance, in the form of a freeze-dried powder, is rapidly dissolved to produce an injectable solution. The pharmaceutical form preferred by the present invention is that which consists of a container holding the active substance as a freeze-dried powder, as the active substance has proved to be more stable in a dry, powdered form than in solution.
;! Example 30 shows pharmaceutical preparations to be used by the oral route in tumoral pathologies or in pathologies connected with platelet hyperaggregation.
The preparations may also be formulated in a gastro-resistant form.
The present invention also includes modifications of the above mentioned procedures, where the procedures are interrupted at a certain point, or where an intermediate compound is used to begin with, after which the subsequent stages are carried out, or ~258~55 where the starting products are formed in situ. The following examples amply illustrate the products, the preparation procedures and the pharmaceutical preparations of the present invention, but are not to be considered as limiting. Unless otherwise noted, the percentages therein and throughout the application are by weight and the temperatures are in degrees Centigrade.
