They can therefore be used as medicaments.- In particular, the compounds according of the invention have antihypertensive activity, as can be deduced from the results of the following trials:

! 100-7069 Measurement of the binding to adenosine Al and A2 receptors in membranes from the rat's cortex or from the cerebral cortex or striatum of the pig, using the method of R.F. BRUNS, G.H. LU and T.A..PUGUEY, which is desribed in MOLEC. PHARMACOL. 29, 331-346 (1986).

7 1 100-7069 Further testing of the activity of the compounds according to the invention on the isolated, perfused rat's kindneys for the following parameters:

-renin secretion renal haemodynamics (vasodilation) inhibition of the release of noradrenaline from the nerve ends following electro-stimulation of the renal nerves according to the method of H.J. SCHUREK, J.P. BRECHT, H. LOHFERT and K. RIERHOLZER, described in COMMUNICATION a la REUNION de 11ASSOCIATION DES PHARMACOLOGISTES LOUVAIN UCL 4th June 1977, as well P.H. VANHOUTTE, D. BROWNING, E.
