Abstract

Abstract 1,3-Dihydro-1-R 1 -3-R 3 -6-PY-5-Q-2H-imidazo[4,5-b]pyridin-2-ones or -2-thiones or pharmaceutically-acceptable acid-addition salts thereof, which are useful as cardiotonic agents, where Q is hydrogen or lower-alkyl, R 1 and R 3 are each hydrogen, lower-alkyl, lower-hydroxyalkyl, 2,3-dihydroxypropyl, lower-alkoxyalkyl or Y-NB where Y is lower-alkylene and NB is di-(lower-alkyl)amino or 4-morpholinyl, at least one of R 1 and R 3 being hydrogen, and PY is 4- or 3-pyridinyl or 4- or 3-pyridinyl having one or two substituents, are prepared by reacting a 2-R 3 NH-3-R 1 NH-5-PY-6-Q-pyridine with urea or carbonyldiimidazole to produce said -2-one or with an alkali metal xanthate, thiourea or thiocarbonyldiimidazole to produce said -2-thione. Also shown and claimed are cardiotonic compositions and a method for increasing cardiac contractility using said cardiotonic agents. Also shown are processes for preparing said intermediate 2-R 3 NH-3-R 1 NH-5-PY-6-Q-pyridines and other intermediates used in said processes.
