In the novel Formulas I through V substituents B and X can be salts or A1, A2 and A3 represent amides derived by acylation. These can be formed from Ethyl oxallyl chloride or ethyl chloroformate or carboxylic acid anhydrides, carboxylic acid chlorides, as well as Ketene. The compounds can be single compounds or mixtures of compounds depending on such factors as the nature of the reactants and the intermediates or the salts or the acylating agents, and the reaction conditions.
Although substantially any acylating agent can be used to produce these acylates, especially suitable are acylating agents derived from alkanoic (including half-acid chlorides of dibasic examples) as well as the anhydrides, mixed anhydrides and acid chlorides of alkanoic, cycloalkanoic, alkenoic, cycloalkenoic, aralkanoic, aromatic and heterocylic carboxylic acids. These anhydrides and acid chlorides can also be substituted on any carbon, but the carbonyl carbon with any of a wide variety of atomic or molecular moieties unreactive with the dihydropyrimidine reactants. Examples of such substituents are alkyl; e.g., methylthio, propylthio, heptylthio; dialkylamino; e.g., dimethylamino, diethylamino, dihexylamino; alkoxycarbonyl; e.g., methoxycarbonyl, propoxycarbonyl, nonoxycarbonyl; carboxyacyl; e.g., acetyl, butyryl; carboxamido; e.g., benzmido, acetamido; nitro, fluoro; cyano; and the like. Chlorine, bromine and iodine can also be substituents on aromatic portions of the acylating agents.
Examples of suitable anhydrides are acetic anhydride, propionic anhydride, butyric anhydride, isobutyric anhydride, acrylic anhydride, crotonic anhydride, cyclohexane carboxylic anhydride, benzoic anhydride, naphthoic anhydride, furoic anhydride and the like, as well as the corresponding anhydrides substituted with one or more of the above-mentioned substituents. Examples of suitable acid chlorides are acetyl chloride, propionyl chloride, crotonyl chloride, cyclohexanecarbonyl chloride, 3cyclohexenecarbonyl chloride, phenylacetyl chloride, succinoyl chloride benzoyl chloride, naphthoyl chloride; furoyl chloride, 3-pyridinecarbonyl chloride, phthaloyl chloride and the like, as well as the corresponding acid chlorides substituted with one or more of the above mentioned substituents.
One molecular equivalent of an acylating agent should be used for the introduction of each acyl moiety. When a reactive acylating agent such as ethyl oxalyl chloride is used with heating, a cyclized compound is usually obtained. These compounds can be hydrolyzed to the bis or mono acylates.
The acylation usually takes place rapidly in the range of -20°C to about +50°C. Suitable diluents are CH2Cl2; or, diethyl ether and tetrahydrofuran; ketones; e.g. acetone and methyl ethyl ketone; esters; e.g.
methyl acetate and ethyl acetate; acetonitrile; pyridine and the like. The desired acylated product often present from the reaction mixture in crystalline form can be separated in the usual manner; for example, by filtration or centrifugation. Alternately, the diluent can be evaporated, preferably at reduced pressure. The acylates can be purified by conventional techniques; for example, by recrystallization from a suitable solvent or mixture of solvents.

Detailed Description of the Invention
The 4-[substituted]-2,6-bis(alkyl oxamyl)-pyrimidine-1-oxides and their corresponding inner salts, obtained according to the process of this invention, have the general Formula I and II, where R3 is an
alkyl oxalyl or an alkoxy carbonyl. The term "alkyoxalyl" is used to define the RO-
group in which R constitutes methyl, ethyl, n-propyl, isopropyl, n-butyl, isobutyl, t-butyl and the like. The term "alkoxy carbonyl" is referred to RO-
in which R is the lower alkyl group. R1 is a heterocyclic moiety containing nitrogen including tetrahydropyridine, piperidine morpholine, pyrrolidine, thiomorpholine, diallylamine, or a substituted phenol such as p-cresol or an 0-tosyl group.
According to the invention, derivatives of Formula I are prepared readily by reacting a compound of the Formula III, where R1 is as previously described.
with an excess of an alkyl oxalyl halide of structure A, or with an excess of an alkyl halo formate, of structure B.
« in the presence of an amine such as pyridine or triethylamine.
Suitable solvents include chlorinated hydrocarbons, for example, methylene chloride and chloroform. The reaction is spontaneous and is conducted in the temperature range of 0-5°C. The reaction mixture is treated with an aqueous bicarbonate solution, for example, sodium bicarbonate and the two-phase system is then separated. The organic phase is dried and the final product is precipitated using non-polar solvents such as toluene and hexane. See Scheme 1:

X, R2 and R1 are the same as previously mentioned
The majority of the oxamyl compounds have a bright yellow color and are somewhat light sensitive and may decompose to the parent compound on standing over a 6 month period in light on the laboratory shelf, in clear glass.
Another part of this invention deals with the synthesis, isolation and characterization of novel 4-[substituted]-2,6-bis (ethoxy carbonyl or alkoxy carbonyl amino)-1-(sulfooxy)-pyrimidinium hydroxide, inner salt of Formula II.
In general these compounds could be prepared by two different methods shown in Schemes II and III.
In Method II (Scheme II) the novel 4-[substituted]-2,6-bis (alkyl oxalyl amino)-pyrimidine 3-oxides are treated at room temerature with sources of sulfur trioxide such as sulfur trioxide pyridine complex, or sulfur trioxide triethyl amine complex, in an inert solvent such as dimethyl formamide (DMF) or acetonitrile at room temperature. The sulfur trioxide reacts directly to form a sulfate with the substituted pyrimidine N-1 oxides, and is used in excess, usually in ratio of 1:2 or 1:1.5. Alternatively in Method III (see Scheme III) the 2,4-diamino-6-[substituted]pyrimidine-3-oxide is converted to 2,6-diamino-4-[substituted-1-(sulfooxy) -pyrimidinium hydroxide, inner salt by a reaction with a latent sulfur trioxide source, which subsequently is treated with an alkyl oxalyl halide, preferably ethyl oxalyl chloride to yield the corresponding substituted pyrimidine-0-sulfates.
Also considering Formula IV (See Scheme IV)
wherein R3 is hydrogen, or methoxy, ethoxy, propoxy-carbonyl and R, is diallylamine, pyrrolidine, piperidine, tetrahydropyridine, morpholino or thiomorpholino. Example: The 4-(1,2,4,6-tetra hydro-1-pyridyl)-2,6-bis (ethoxy carbonyl amino)-pyrimidine-1-oxide (i.e., IV, R3 is C2H5-O-Cand R4 = 1,2,3,6-tetrahydro-pyridine) was reacted with sulfur trioxide pyridine complex in DMF at room temperature which afforded the 4-(1,2,3,6tetra hydro-1-pyridyl)-2,6-bis(ethoxy carbonyl amino)-1-(sulfooxy) pyrimidinium hydroxide, inner salt.
This process must also include the preparation of the starting materials of Formula III, some of which have been claimed with a different method, in U.S. Patent 3,461,461, but surprisingly enough, no record of their syntheses and physical data is presented. These were all made and used as intermediate compounds in the invention of I and II.
Another novel compound, 2,4-diamino-6-(para-methyl-phenoxy) pyrimidine was synthesized by reacting p-cresol with 2,4-diamino-6-chloropyrimidine which was subsequently oxidized to 6-amino-4 (Para-methyl-phenoxy) 1,2dihydro-1-hydroxy-2-amino pyrimidine using peracetic acid 40%. Further on reacting the above mentioned compound with ethyl oxalyl chloride at 0-5°, 4-[Para-methyl phenoxy]-2,6-bis (ethyl oxalyl amino)-pyrimidine-1oxide was found.
See Scheme V.

The pyrimidine oxides and salts of general Formula I or specific Formulas II through V, and pharmaceutically active inner salts thereof, have potent perpherial vasodilating properties, and are, therefore, useful in causing vasodilation. They are orally, topically and parenterally active. Standard pharmacological tests can be employed to demonstrate the vasodilation, particularly the use of Lazer Doppler Veloximetry. The desirable vasodilation is obtained with no adverse toxicity. (See Table I)

Hairgrowth Data
A rodent model of hypotrichosis has been developed. This variant is useful as an animal model of androgenetic alopecia. The variant displays all the characteristics of male pattern alopecia in humans.
Extreme hair loss is developed after puberty in males. It is typified by initial hair loss on the crown of the head, continuing to the development of hypotrichosis in these animals, as shown by fewer and smaller hair follicles and greatly enlarged sebaceous glands, especially over the crown of the head and the shoulders and upper back. The limbs tend to remain hairy. The females eventually develop male pattern alopecia but not to the same degree as the males,
On subcutaneous implantation of a pellet of the active compounds a decrease in hair loss was observed. A significantly prolonged anagen phase of the hair cycle was observed, associated in a dose response fashion with the uptake of the implanted substance.
An increased rate of hair growth is also associated with the administration of the active compounds, as measured by microscopic measurement of the outgrowth of hair after bleaching or dying.
The term "topical" as employed herein, relates to the use of a compound of the formulas, incorporated in a suitable pharmaceutical carrier, particularly the encapsulation process, and applied at the site of baldness for exertion of local action. Accordingly, such topical compositions include those pharmaceutical forms in which the compound is applied externally by contact with the skin surface to be treated. Conventional pharmaceutical forms for this purpose include ointments, lotions, pastes, jellies, sprays, aerosols, and the like. The term "ointment" embraces formulations (including creams) having oleaginous, absorption, water-soluble and emulsion-type bases; e.g., petrolatum, lanolin, polyethylene glycols, as well as mixtures of these.
The percentage by weight of the compound of the formulas herein utilized ranges from about 0.1% to about 20.0% of the pharmaceutical preparations; the aforesaid pharmaceutical carrier for topical application constitutes a major amount of the said preparation.
While the following examples describe the manner and process of making and using the invention and set forth the best mode contemplated by the inventor of carrying out the invention but are not to be construed as
limiting.
Improved Method of Applying the Compounds of the Instant Invention:
The preferred method of applying the compounds of this patent to the skin involves entrapment of the compounds of the instant invention within a syneresis-free hydrophobic polymeric network. The active ingredients are either dissolved or dispersed in the monomer mix and in-situ polymerized. The advantages to be derived are the ability to control the release of the active compounds and the ability to protect the active ingredients from non-specific hydrolysis due to the environmental conditions of contact with the applicant vehicle and with the skin.
Amongst several available systems, the Polymer entrapment systems, such as Polytrap by Wicken Products, N.Y., are useful for this purpose.
Examples
Most emollients will provide a good plasticizer for the hydrophobic polymeric lattice, and an emollient base is excellent as a vehicle to apply the active ingredients of the formulation.
The active substrate is converted into a free flowing bead formulation by entrapment with a syneresis-free polymeric network which is hydrophobic. Loading as great as 60-80% should be achieved within the polymeric lattice. In this matrix the functional hair growth agent is held by microsorption and protected from hydrolysis and other modes of decomposition providing prolonged shelf-life and in a form superior to an emulsion.
In this manner it is possible to hold the functional materials under controlled conditions for availability on demand. This system offers the advantage that retinoids, see PCT U.S. 82/01593 can be incorporated as additional functional materials, within a similar polymeric network.
The structural integrity of the polymer matrix can be disrupted by mechanical stress or force such as rubbing on application to produce continuous film of the released active component. This protection is particularly important when one or more of the active ingredients has a short half-life, in the absence of encapsulation and upon release.
An example of these entrapment systems for topical applications of the compositions is the Polytrap system of Wicken Products, N.Y.
The following Examples illustrate the applicant vehicles for the present invention. The methods of administration may vary by lotion, cream, ointment, polymeric beadlets, supplement to chow, coating for seeds, etc. These Examples are only meant to be illustrative and do not limit the mode of administration nor the ingredients which can be admixed to the present invention, nor the amounts which may be used.

The active ingredients are entrapped within the polymer. The hydrophobic polymer is plasticized by most entrapped ingredients. The degree of plasticization determines whether the heads are soft, spreadable and film forming with minimal pressure or hard with the ability to withstand shearing, of light intensity.
The unexpected novel advantages to be gained from the use of the instant invention are: improved solubility and improved stability and activity of active compounds through increased dispersion of charge; longer action of compounds; excellent penetration of skin due to the lipophilic substituents; and compatibility of compounds with non-polar solvents useful for the preservation of the polar groups while in contact with the skin and useful for the encapsulation of the compounds within a syneresisfree hydrophobic polymeric network.
