Imidazolyl is, for example, imidazol-2-yl or -4-yl; thiazolyl is, for example, thiazol-2-yl, or also thiazol5-yl or -4-yl; oxazolyl is, for example, oxazol-2-yl, or also oxazol-4-yl; triazolyl is, for example, 4H-1,2,4triazol-3-yl or 2H-1,2,3-triazol-4-yl; tetrazolyl is, for example, tetrazol-5-yl; thiadiazolyl is, for example, l,2,5-thiadiazol-3-yl; oxadiazolyl is, for example, 1,3,4-oxadiazol-2-yl; benzimidazolyl is, for example, benzimidazol-2-yl; benzoxazolyl is, for example, benzoxazol-2-yl; benzothiazolyl is, for example, benzothiazol-2-yl. The radicals mentioned may contain two identical or different substituents from among those mentioned at the beginning. Radicals Rj having substitutable N-atoms are preferably N-substituted as indicated. Radicals Rj are, for example, l-Ci"C4alkylimidazol-2-yl radicals, such as l-methylimidazol-2-yl, lpheny 1-Ci-C4 alkyl imidazol-2-yl radicals, such as 1benzylimidazol-2-yl, oxazol-2-yl, thiazol-2-yl, 4- and 5C1-C4alkylthiazol-2-yl radicals, such as 4- or 5-methylthiazol-2-yl, 5-phenylthiazol-2-yl, 1,2,4-thiadiazol-5yl, 3-phenyl-l,2,4-thiadiazol-5-yl, l,3,4-thiadiazol-2yl, 5-methyl-l, 3,4-thiadiazol-2-y 1, benzoxazol-2-yl and benzothiazol-2-yl.
Hereinbelow, there is to be understood by lower radicals and compounds those containing up to and including 7, especially up to and including 4, C-atoms. In addition, the general terms have, for example, the following meanings: Lower alkyl is, for example, C1-C4alkyl, such as methyl, ethyl, propyl or butyl, or also iso-, sec- or tert-butyl, but may also be a C5-C7alkyl group, such as a pentyl, hexyl or heptyl group.
Phenyl-lower alkyl is, for example, pheny 1-C1-C4alkyl, especially 1-phenyl-Cj-C4alkyl, such as benzyl.
Lower alkoxy is, for example, C1-C4alkoxy, such as methoxy, ethoxy, propoxy, isopropoxy, butoxy, isobutoxy, sec-butoxy or tert-butoxy.

Lower alkylthio is, for example, Ci-C4alkylthio, such as methylthio, ethylthio, propylthio or butylthio, or also iso-, sec- or tert-butylthio.
Halogen is, for example, halogen having an atomic number of up to and including 35, such as fluorine, chlorine or bromine.
Salts of compounds of the formula I are especially the salts thereof with pharmaceutically acceptable bases, such as non-toxic metal salts derived from metals of groups Ia, Ib, Ila and lib, for example alkali metal salts, especially sodium or potassium salts, alkaline earth metal salts, especially calcium or magnesium salts copper salts or zinc salts, or ammonium salts with ammonia or organic amines or quaternary ammonium bases, such as optionally C-hydroxylated aliphatic amines, especially mono-, di- or tri-lower alkylamines, for example methyl-, ethyl-, dimethyl- or diethyl-amine, mono-, di- or tri-(hydroxy-lower alkyl)-amines, such as ethanol-, diethanol- or triethanol-amine, tris (hydroxymethyl) amino-methane or 2-hydroxy-tert-butylamine, or M(hydroxy-lower alkyl)-N,N-di-lower alkylamines or N(polyhydroxy-lower alkyl)-N-lower alkylamines, such as 2 (dimethylamino)-ethanol or D-glucamine, or quaternary aliphatic ammonium hydroxides, for example tetrabutylammonium hydroxide.
It should also be mentioned in this connection that the compounds of the formula I may be in the form of internal salts, for example of the formula Ri •OjH® ;h OjHz (I*).
The mentioned compounds can accordingly also be converted, by treatment with a strongly protonic acid, such as a hydrohalic acid, sulfuric acid, sulfonic acid, for example methane- or p-toluene-sulfonic acid, or sulfamic acid, for example N-cyclohexylsulfamic acid, into the corresponding acid addition salts of the formula Rx0 (I-)» in which represents the anion of the protonic acid.
The compounds of the formula I and their salts have valuable pharmacological properties. In particular, they exhibit a pronounced regulatory action on the calcium metabolism of warm-blooded animals. In particular, in rats, they bring about pronounced inhibition of bone resorption, which can be demonstrated both in the test procedure according to Acta. Endocrinol. 2&, 613 (1975) by reference to the PTH-induced increase in the serum calcium level after subcutaneous administration in doses of from approximately 0.01 to approximately 1.0 mg/kg, and in the TPTX (thyroparathyroidectomised) rat model by reference to the experimental hypercalcaemia, induced by vitamin D3, after the administration of doses of approximately from 0.001 to 1.0 mg s.c.. The tumour hypercalcaemia induced by Walker-256-tumours is likewise inhibited after peroral administration of from approximately 1.0 to approximately 100 mg/kg. Further, in adjuvant arthritis in rats in the test procedure according to Newbould, Brit. J. Pharmacology 21, 127 (1963) and according to Kaibara fit al·» J· Exp. Med. 159. 1388-96 (1984), they exhibit a marked inhibition of the progression of chronic arthritic processes in doses of approximately from 0.01 to 1.0 mg/kg s.c.. The compounds of the formula I and their salts are therefore excellently suitable as active ingredients in medicaments for the treatment of diseases that can be attributed to calcium metabolism disorders, for example inflammatory processes in joints and degenerative processes in arthrodial cartilage, of osteoporosis, periodontitis, hyperparathyroidism and of calcium deposits in blood vessels or on prosthetic implants, A favourable effect is produced both in diseases in which an anomalous deposition of sparingly soluble calcium salts is to be observed, such as those from the among the forms of arthritis, for example Morbus Bechterew, neuritis, bursitis, periodontitis and tendinitis, fibrodysplasia, osteoarthrosis and of arteriosclerosis, and in those diseases in which an anomalous degeneration of hard body tissue is well to the fore, such as hereditary hypophosphatasis, degenerative processes in the arthrodial cartilage, osteoporoses of various origins, Paget's disease and osteodystrophia fibrosa, and also in tumour-induced osteolytic processes.
A preparation process inter alia for l-(pyrimidin-2ylamino)methane- and 1-(3-methylpyrazol-4-in-5-ylamino)methane-1,l-diphosphonic acid was already known from Japanese Patent Application No. A-54 135 724. Furthermore, European Patent Application A-186 405 teaches that pyridylamino-, pyridazinylanino-, pyrimidinylamino- and pyrazinylamino-alkane-l,l-diphosphonic acids have a regulatory action on the calcium metabolism and are accordingly suitable for the treatment of disorders that can be attributed thereto. Compared with these, the 1azolylaminomethane-1,l-diphosphonic acids provided according to the invention have the surprising advantage of a substantially more pronounced action. Thus, in the TPTX rat model mentioned, in the case of subcutaneous administration, an ED50 value of 0.00065 mg/kg was found for the l-(l-methylimidazol-2-ylamino)methane-l,ldiphosphonic acid provided according to the invention, and an ED50 value of 0.01 mg/kg for l-(pyrimidin-2ylamino)methane-l,l-diphosphonic acid.
The invention relates especially to compounds of the formula I in which R^ represents a thiazolyl, such as thiazol-2-yl, radical, a benzothiazol-2-yl radical, a thiadiazolyl, such as 1,2,4-thiadiazol-5-yl or 1,3,4thiadiaZol-2-yl, radical, an oxazolyl, such as oxazol-2yl, radical or a benzoxazol-2-yl radical each of which is unsubstituted or is C-substituted by Ci-C^lkyl, such as methyl, or by a phenyl radical that is unsubstituted or is mono- or di-substituted by C1-C4alkyl, such as methyl, Ci-C4alkoxy, such as methoxy, and/or by halogen, such as chlorine; or represents an imidazolyl, such as imidazol2-yl or imidazol-4-yl, radical or a benzimidazol-2-yl radical each of which is N-substituted by Ci-C4alkyl> such as methyl, or by a phenyl-Cj[-C4alkyl radical, such as a benzyl radical, that is unsubstituted or is mono- or di-substituted by Ci-C4alkyl, such as methyl, Cx-C4alkoxy, such as methoxy, and/or by halogen, such as chlorine; and R2 represents hydrogen, and their salts, especially their internal salts and pharmaceutically acceptable salts with bases.
The invention relates more especially to compounds of the formula I in which R^ represents a thiazolyl, such as thiazol-2-yl or thiazol-4-yl, radical that is unsubstituted or is substituted by C1-C4alkyl, such as methyl, by Ci-C4alkoxy, such as methoxy, by phenyl, by hydroxy, by di-Ci-C4alkylamino, such as dimethylamino or diethylamino, by Ci-C4alkylthio, such as methylthio, or by halogen having an atomic number of up to and including 35, such as chlorine, and R2 represents hydrogen, and -their salts, especially their internal salts and pharmaceutically acceptable salts with bases.
The invention relates even more especially to compounds of the formula I in which Ri represents a thiazolyl, such as thiazol-2-yl, radical or a 1-Ci-C4alkyl-, such as methyl-imidazol-2-yl or -4-yl, radical each of which is unsubstituted or is C-substituted by Ci-C4alkyl, such as methyl, by C1-C4alkoxy, such as methoxy, by phenyl, by hydroxy, by di-C1-C4alkylamino, such as dimethylamino or diethylamino, by C1-C4alkylthio, such as methylthio, or by halogen having an atomic number of up to and including 35, such as chlorine, and R2 represents hydrogen, and their salts, especially their internal salts and pharmaceutically acceptable salts with bases.
The invention relates most especially to compounds of the formula I in which Rj represents a thiazol-2-yl radical that is unsubstituted or is mono- or di-substituted, especially in the 4- and/or 5-position, by Cx-C4alkyl, such as methyl; or by phenyl, or represents an imidazol2-yl radical that is unsubstituted or is mono-substituted in the 1-position by Ci~C4alkyl, such as methyl, or by I» pheny1-Ci-C4alkyl, such as benzyl, and R2 represents hydrogen, and their salts, especially their internal salts and phannaceutically acceptable salts with bases.
The invention relates specifically to the compounds of 5 the formula I mentioned in the Examples and to their salts, especially their internal salts and pharmaceutically acceptable salts with bases.
The invention relates also to a process for the preparation of compounds of the formula ί and their salts, which process is based on methods known per se. This process is characterised in that a) in a compound of the formula - j - j,- h (I1) which is optionally intermediately protected at a 15 substitutable N-atom of the radical Rj and in which X^ represents a functionally modified phosphono group X and X2 represents phosphono or similarly represents a functionally modified phosphono group X, the group(s) X is(are) converted into free phosphono, or 2o b) a compound of the formula (x«). which is optionally intermediately protected at a substitutable N-atom of the radical Rlr is reacted first with phosphorus trioxide and then with water, and, if desired, in each case, a resulting compound is converted into a different compound of formula X and/or a resulting free compound is converted into a salt or a resulting salt is converted into the free compound or into a different salt.
Functionally modified phosphono groups X that are to be converted into phosphono according to process variant a) are, for example, in the form of an ester, especially in the form of a diester of the formula —P(=O)(OR)2 (Ha) in which OR represents, for example, lower alkoxy, or a phenoxy group that is unsubstituted or is substituted by lower alkyl, lower alkoxy, halogen, trifluoromethyl and/or by hydroxy.
The conversion of a functionally modified phosphono group into a free phosphono group is effected in customary manner by hydrolysis, for example in the presence of a mineral acid, such as hydrochloric or hydrobromic acid or sulfuric acid, or by reaction with a tri-lower alkylhalosilane, for example with trimethylchlorosilane or, especially, trimethyl iodosilane or trimethy lbromosilane, preferably while cooling, for example in a temperature range of from approximately 0* to approximately 25*C.
The starting materials of the formula II can be prepared, for example, by condensing a compound of the formula R1-N(R2)-H (11b; R2»H) with at least the equimolar amount of an orthoformic acid triester of the formula I H—C(OR)3 (He) in which OR represents, for example, lower alkoxy, or a phenoxy group that is unsubstituted or is substituted by lower alkyl, lower alkoxy, halogen, trifluoromethyl and/or by hydroxy, there probably being formed initially a corresponding compound of the formula R1-NH-CH(OR)2 (Ildl) or Ri-N’CH-OR (Ild2), and by further reacting the condensation product with at least double the molar amount of a phosphorous acid diester, for example of the formula H-J(OR)S (lie), and, if desired, lower alkylating the resulting compound lo (II, R2=H) to form the corresponding compound (II; R2= lower alkyl).
In intermediates II in which the radical Rj is N-substituted by lower alkyl or by phenyl-lower alkyl that is unsubstituted or is substituted by lower alkyl, lower alkoxy and/or by halogen, the N-substituent can be removed, lower alkyl being removed, for example, by treatment with a haloformic acid ester, such as a bromoformic or chloroformic acid lower alkyl ester, and subsequent hydrolysis of the resulting carbamate, and β-phenyl-lower alkyl radicals being removed, for example, by hydrogenolysis, for example by treatment with hydrogen in the presence of a hydrogenation catalyst, for example palladium-on-carbon and/or platinum oxide, or by reduction with a metal, for example by treatment with an alkali metal in ammonia.
It is also possible, however, to react the starting material lib in a manner known BSC SS with the phosphorous acid diester lie in the presence of an orthoformic acid triester He without isolating the intermediate stage. Thus, according to an especially preferred embodiment, the corresponding compound lib is reacted at boiling heat in the presence of at least the equimolar amount of an orthoformic acid triester lie with at least double the molar amount of the phosphorous acid diester lie without isolating the intermediate stage, for example of the formula Ildl or Ild2, and the primary product II is hydrolysed by treatment with agueous hydrochloric acid at boiling heat.
The reaction of compounds III with phosphorus trioxide according to process variant bl is preferably effected with the latter being formed in situ, for example by reacting phosphorus trichloride and phosphorous acid at elevated temperature, for example at approximately from 50 to 65*C, adding the reactant III, heating further and working up the primary product, a 1:1 adduct of the aldehyde of the formula with phosphorus trioxide of hitherto-unknown structure, by hydrolysis, preferably by treatment with water.
In a modification of this preferred embodiment of process variant b), orthophosphoric acid is reacted, at approximately from 50*C to 70*C, with an approximately l.l- to approximately 2-fold, preferably approximately 1.5-fold, excess of phosphorus trichloride, the reactant III is added, and the whole is heated for a prolonged period at approximately from 50°C to 70*C, diluted with 80 % phosphoric acid and worked up by hydrolysis.
Starting materials III can be prepared in customary manner, for example by reacting an amine of the formula RX-N(R2)-H (lib; R=H) with formic acid or a functional carboxy derivative thereof, for example with a formic acid ester of the formula H-COOR (He) in which OR represents, for example, a phenoxy group that is unsubstituted or is substituted by lower alkyl, lower alkoxy, halogen, trifluoromethyl and/or by hydroxy, or with formamide.
For the intermediate protection of a substitutable N-atom of the radical R^ the customary N-protecting groups and methods of introducing and removing them are suitable, for example 2,2,2-trihaloethoxycarbonyl radicals, such as 2,2,2-triiodo-, 2,2,2-tribromo- or 2,2,2-trichloroethoxycarbonyl radicals, which can be removed, for example, by treatment with zinc in acetic acid, e-phenyllower alkoxycarbonyl radicals, such as benzyloxycarbonyl, which can be removed, for example, by catalytic hydrogenation, and lower alkanesulf onyl groups, such as methanesulfonyl, which can be removed, for example, by treatment with bis (2-me thoxy ethoxy) sodium aluminium hydride, and also, however, α-phenylalkyl or alkyl groups, the removal of which is dealt with hereinafter.
Compounds of the formula I obtained in accordance vith the process of the invention or by another process that is known per se can be converted into other compounds of the formula I in a manner known per S£.
For example, lower alkyl R2 can be introduced into compounds of the formula I in which R2 represents hydrogen by reaction with a reactive ester, such as a hydrohalic acid ester or an organic sulfonic acid ester, of a lower alkanol. It is also possible, however, to introduce an aliphatic radical, for example methyl, by reaction with an aliphatic aldehyde, for example with formaldehyde and formic acid.
It is also possible in compounds of the formula I in which the radical R^ is N-substituted by lower alkyl or by phenyl-lower alkyl that is unsubstituted or is substituted by lower alkyl, lower alkoxy and/or by halogen, to remove the N-substituent, lower alkyl being removed, for example, by treatment with a haloformic acid ester, such as a bromoformic or chloroformic acid lower alkyl ester, and subsequent hydrolysis of the resulting carbamate, and β-phenyl-lower alkyl radicals being removed, for example, by hydrogenolysis, for example by treatment with hydrogen in the presence of a hydrogenation catalyst, for example palladium-on-carbon and/or platinum oxide, or by reduction with a metal, for example by treatment with an alkali metal in ammonia.
Resulting free compounds of the formula I, including their internal salts of the formula I *, can be converted into salts with bases by partial or complete neutralisation with one of the bases mentioned at the beginning. Acid addition salts of the formula I" also can be converted in analogous manner into the corresponding, free compounds of the formula I or internal salts of formula I'.
Conversely, resulting free compounds of the formula I can be converted into acid addition salts of the formula I by treatment with one of the protonic acids mentioned at the beginning.
Resulting salts can be converted into the free compounds in a manner known per se. for example by treatment with an acid reagent, such as a mineral acid, or, as the case may be, with a base, for example alkali liquor.
The compounds, including their salts, may also be obtained in the form of their hydrates or may include the solvent used for crystallisation.
Owing to the close relationship between the novel compounds in free form and in the form of their salts, hereinbefore and hereinafter there is to be understood by the free compounds or their salts, where appropriate and expedient, optionally also the corresponding salts or free compounds, respectively.
The invention relates also to those embodiments of the process according to which a compound obtainable as an intermediate at any stage of the process is used as starting material and the remaining steps are carried out or a starting material is used in the form of a salt and/or racemate or antipode or, especially, is formed under the reaction conditions.
The invention relates also to known compounds of the formula l, wherein R^ represents a pyrazol-3-yl or isoxazol-3-yl radical that is unsubstituted or is monoor di-substituted by lower alkyl and/or by halogen, and R2 denotes hydrogen, specifically 1-(pyrazol-3-ylamino)methane-l,l-diphosphonic acid, l-(4-raethylpyrazol-3ylamino)methane-1, l-diphosphonic acid, 1- (5-methylpyrazol-3-ylamino)methane-1, l-diphosphonic acid, 1(isoxazol-3-ylamino)methane-1, l-diphosphonic acid, 1- (4-methylisoxazol-3-ylamino)methane-l, l-diphosphonic acid or 1-(5-methylisoxazol-3-ylamino)methane-l,l-diphosphonic acid, or in each case a pharmaceutically acceptable salt thereof, for use in a method for the treatment of the human or animal body and to use for the preparation of a medicament that regulates the calcium metabolism.
The invention further relates to pharmaceutical preparations containing a compound of the formula I, including those referred to above as being known, or a pharmaceutically acceptable salt thereof.
The starting materials that are used in the process of the present invention are preferably those which result in the compounds described at the beginning as being especially valuable. The invention relates also to novel starting materials and to processes for the preparation thereof.
The pharmaceutical preparations according to the invention, which contain compounds of the formula I or pharmaceutically acceptable salts thereof, are for enteral, such as oral or rectal, and parenteral administration and contain the pharmacological active ingredient on its own or together with a pharmaceutically acceptable carrier. The dosage of the active ingredient depends upon the species of warm-blooded animal, its age and individual condition and also on the mode of administration. In a normal case, the estimated approximate daily dose for a warm-blooded animal of approximately 75 kg body weight is approximately from 20 to 1000 mg, preferably approximately from 30 to 300 mg, in the case of oral administration, and approximately from 1 to 25 mg, preferably approximately from 1 to 10 mg, in the case of intravenous administration, the dose advantageously being divided into several equal partial doses.
The novel pharmaceutical preparations contain, for • 30 example, from approximately 10 % to approximately 80 %, preferably from approximately 20 % to approximately 60 %, active ingredient. Pharmaceutical preparations according to the invention for enteral and parenteral administration are, for example, those in unit dosage form, such as dragdes, tablets, capsules or suppositories, and also ampoules. These are prepared in a manner known BfiX se. for example by means of conventional mixing, granulating, confectioning, dissolving or lyophilising processes. For example, pharmaceutical preparations for oral administration can be obtained by combining the active ingredient with solid carriers, if desired granulating a resulting mixture and, if desired or necessary, processing the mixture or granulate, after the addition of suitable adjuncts, into tablets or dragde cores.
Suitable carriers are especially fillers, such as sugars, for example lactose, saccharose, mannitol or sorbitol, cellulose preparations and/or calcium phosphates, for example tricalcium phosphate or calcium hydrogen phosphate, and binders, such as starch pastes using, for example, corn, wheat, rice or potato starch, gelatin, tragacanth, methylcellulose and/or polyvinylpyrrolidone, and/or, if desired, disintegrators, such as the abovementioned starches, carboxymethyl starch, crosslinked polyvinylpyrrolidone, agar, alginic acid or a salt thereof, such as sodium alginate. Adjuncts are especially flow-regulating and lubricating agents, for example silica, talc, stearic acid or salts thereof, such as magnesium or calcium stearate, and/or polyethylene glycol. Dragde cores are provided with suitable coatings which may be resistant to gastric juices, there being used, inter alia, concentrated sugar solution which may contain gum arabic, talc, polyvinylpyrrolidone, polyethylene glycol and/or titanium dioxide, lacquer solutions in suitable organic solvents or solvent mixtures, or, for the preparation of coatings that are resistant to gastric juices, solutions of suitable cellulose preparations, such as acetylcellulose phthalate or hydroxypropylmethylcellulose phthalate. Colourings or pigments may be added to the tablets or drag£e coatings, for example for identification purposes or to indicate different doses of active ingredient.
Other orally administrable pharmaceutical preparations are dry-filled capsules consisting of gelatin, and also soft sealed capsules consisting of gelatin and a plasticiser, such as glycerol or sorbitol. The dry-filled capsules may contain the active ingredient in the form of a granulate, for example in admixture with fillers, such as lactose, binders, such as starches, and/or glidants, such as talc or magnesium stearate, and, if desired, stabilisers. In soft capsules, the active ingredient is preferably dissolved or suspended in suitable liquids, such as fatty oils, paraffin oil or liquid polyethylene glycols, it being possible also to add stabilisers.
Suitable rectally administrable pharmaceutical preparations are, for example, suppositories that consist of a combination of the active ingredient with a suppository base. Suitable suppository bases are, for example, natural or synthetic triglycerides, paraffin hydrocarbons, polyethylene glycols or higher alkanols. It is also possible to use gelatin rectal capsules that contain a combination of the active ingredient with a base; suitable bases are, for example, liquid triglycerides, polyethylene glycols or paraffin hydrocarbons.
For parenteral administration there are suitable, for example, aqueous solutions of an active ingredient in water-soluble form, for example in the form of a watersoluble salt, or suspensions of the active ingredient, such as corresponding oily injection suspensions in which suitable lipophilic solvents or vehicles, such as fatty oils, for example sesame oil, or synthetic fatty acid esters, for example ethyl oleate or triglycerides, are used, or aqueous injection suspensions that contain viscosity-increasing substances, for example sodium carboxymethylcellulose, sorbitol and/or dextran, and, if desired, also stabilisers.
The present invention relates also to the use of the compounds of the formula I and their salts, preferably for the treatment of diseases that can be attributed to calcium metabolism disorders, for example of the rheumatic type, and especially of osteoporoses.
Dosages under 0.01 mg/kg of body weight have only a negligible effect on pathological calcification or the degeneration of hard tissue. At dosages above 100 mg A? of body weight, toxic side-effects may occur in long-term use. The compounds of the formula I and their salts can be administered both orally and, in the form of a hypertonic solution, subcutaneously, intramuscularly or intravenously. The preferred daily doses for these kinds of administration are in the range of approximately from 0.1 to 5 mg/kg in the case of oral administration, in the range of approximately from 0.1 to 1 mg/kg in the case of subcutaneous and intramuscular administration and in the range of approximately from 0.01 to 2 mg/kg in the case of intravenous administration.
The dosage of the compounds used is, however, variable and depends on the particular conditions, such as nature and severity of the disease, duration of treatment and on the particular compound. Single doses contain, for example, from 0.01 to 10 mg, unit dosage forms for parenteral, such as intravenous, administration contain, for example, from 0.01 to 0.1 mg, preferably from 0.02 to 0.08 mg, and oral unit dosage forms contain, for example, from 0.2 to 2.5 mg, preferably from 0.3 to 1.5 mg, per kg of body weight. The preferred individual dosage for oral administration is from 10 to 100 mg and for intravenous administration from 0.5 to 5 mg and can be administered in up to 4 single doses per day. The higher dosages in the case of oral administration are necessary owing to the limited resorption. In the case of long-term treatments, the initially higher dosage can normally be converted to low dosages while still maintaining the desired effect.
