Abstract

Abstract A series of novel heterocyclic-substituted 2-(1H)-quinolone compounds have been prepared, including the 3,4-dihydro derivatives thereof, wherein the heterocyclic ring moiety is a pyrrolyl, imidazolyl, pyrazolyl, triazolyl or tetrazolyl group attached by a nitrogen atom of said group to the 5-, 6-, 7- or 8-positions of the quinolone ring. These particular compounds are useful in therapy as highly potent inotropic agents and therefore, are of value in the treatment of various cardiac conditions. Preferred member compounds include 6-(2,4-dimethylimidazol-1-yl)-8-methyl-2-(1H)-quinolone, 6-(2,4-dimethyl-5-nitroimadazol-1-yl)-8-methyl-2-(1H)-quinolone, 8-methyl-6-(tetrazol-1-yl)-2-(1H)-quinolone, 8-methyl-6-(1,2,4-triazol-4-yl)-2-(1H)-quinolone, and 6-(4-cyano-2-methylimidazol-1-yl)-8-methyl-2-(1H)-quinolone, respectively. Methods for preparing these compounds from known starting materials are provided.
