Description

1 3 2 ~
KK 50-Oll The present invention relates to novel cyclic amine derivatives an~ their enantiomers, d;astereomers and physioloqically acceptable acid addition salts which produce valuable pharmacoloqical effects such as lowering the heart rate.

Brit;sh Patent No. 1 548 844 describes, inter alia, the compound of formula 3 0 CH~OH2CH2-N-CH2CH2 ~ ocH3 and the physiologically acceptable acid addition salts thereof. These compounds are said to have valuable pharmacological properties, namely a mild hypotensive activity and, more particularly, a selective heart rate-reducing activity.

We have now found that certain novel cyclic amine derivatives, and salts thereof surPrisingly have even more valuable pharmacological properties, namely a long-lasting heart rate reducing activity and the effect of reducing the oxygen requirements of the heart.

According to one aspect of the present invention we thus ~rovide compounds of formula I

The optional subsequent splitting off of a protecting group used is preferably carried out by hydrolysis in an aqueous solvent, e.g. in water, isopropanol/water, tetrahydrofuran/water or dioxan/water, in the presence of an acid such as hydrochloric or sulphuric acid or in the presence of an alkali metal base such as sodium hydroxide or potassium hydroxifle at temperatures of between 0 and 100~, preferably at the boiling temperature of the reaction mixture.
