Abstract: Diuretic and saluretic tetrahydro-isoquinoline derivatives of the Formula (I) ##STR1## wherein R stands for hydrogen or chlorine,R.sup.1 and R.sup.2 are hydrogen, methoxy or ethoxy, andR.sup.3 and R.sup.4 are hydrogen or methyl,and a process for the preparation thereof as well as pharmaceutical compositions containing as active ingredients isoquinoline derivatives of the Formula (I). The compounds of Formula I are prepared by reacting a 2-amino-tetrahydro-isoquinoline derivative of the Formula (II) ##STR2## with a carboxylic acid derivative of the Formula (III) ##STR3## wherein x stands for chlorine, --OH, --OCH.sub.2 CN, --OCH.sub.3, --OC.sub.2 H.sub.5, --OCOOCH.sub.3 or --OCOOC.sub.2 H.sub.5R.sup.5 and R.sup.6 stand for hydrogen or together from CHN(CH.sub.3).sub.2 and in case of the Formula (Ia) ##STR4## splitting off the protective group in alkaline medium.

Abstract: The invention relates to novel interfuranylene-prostacyclin derivatives of the general formula (I) ##STR1## wherein R.sup.1 stands for hydrogen or a straight or branched chain C.sub.1-6 alkyl group, an inorganic cation or for the protonated form of a base containing an amino group;R.sup.2 stands for hydrogen, a C.sub.1-4 alkanoyl or benzoyl group, a monosubstituted benzoyl, trialkylsilyl or an alkoxyalkyl group;R.sup.3 stands for a straight or branched chain C.sub.1-6 alkyl group, a phenyl group optionally substituted by halogen or by a C.sub.1-4 alkyl group, a heteroaryl group optionally substituted by halogen or by a C.sub.1-4 alkyl group or a cycloalkyl group;A stands for an ethylene or for a cis- or trans-vinylene or --C.tbd.C-- group;B means a chemical bond, a --CHR.sup.5 --, --CHR.sup.5 --CH.sub.2 -- or a --CH.sub.2 --O-- group: andR.sup.5 means hydrogen or a C.sub.1-4 alkyl group.
