Abstract: R.sup.1 is hydrogen, (1-6C)alkyl, or (1-4C)alkanoyl;R.sup.2 (when not as hereinbelow defined together with X) is (1-6C)alkyl substituted by a group of formula R.sup.10 Xb(CO).sub.m in which m is 0 or 1, provided that when m is 0, X and Xb are separated by at least two carbon atoms, Xb is an imino group of formula --NRb in which Rb together with R.sup.10 and the adjacent nitrogen atom forms a morpholino, thiomorpholino, piperidino or azetidino ring;and X is oxy, thio, sulphinyl, sulphonyl or an imino group of formula --NRa-- in which Ra is hydrogen, (1-6C)alkyl or together with R2 and the adjacent nitrogen atom forms a morpholino, thiomorpholino, piperidino or azetidino ring; andA is N or CT in which T is hydrogen or (1-4C)alkyl;or a pharmaceutically acceptable salt thereof; processes for the manufacture of the compounds and pharmaceutical compositions containing them. The compounds are useful as adenosine antagonists.

Abstract: A compound of the formula I ##STR1## wherein: R.sup.1 is hydrogen, (1-6C)alkyl, or (1-4C)alkanoyl;R.sup.2 is phenyl, a C-linked aromatic 5- or 6-membered heterocyclic ring containing one of oxygen and sulphur and/or one or two nitrogen, or (1-8C)alkyl, alkenyl or alkynyl unsubstituted or substituted by a phenyl or a C-linked aromatic 5- or 6-membered heterocylic ring containing one of oxygen and sulphur and/or one or two nitrogen, any phenyl being unsubstituted or substituted by one, two or three of (1-4C)alkyl, (1-4C)alkoxy, halogen, trifluoromethyl, hydroxy, benzyloxy and (1-5C)alkanoyloxy;A is N or CT in which T is hydrogen or (1-4C)alkyl;or a pharmaceutically acceptable salt thereof, processes for the manufacture of the compounds, and pharmaceutical compositions containing them. The compounds are useful as adenosine antagonists.

Abstract: The invention concerns novel, pharmaceutically useful compounds of formula I in which Q is a 5-membered heteroaryl optionally bearing 1 or 2 substituents independently selected from (1-4C)alkyl and halogeno;R.sup.1 is hydrogen, (1-6C)alkyl, or (1-4C)alkanoyl;R.sup.2 (when not as hereinbelow defined together with X) is hydrogen, (3-12C)cycloalkyl, (3-6C)alkenyl, phenyl(3-6C)alkenyl, tetrafluorophenyl, pentafluorophenyl, 5- or 6-membered heteroaryl, optionally substituted (1-6C)alkyl or optionally substituted phenyl;X is oxy, thio, sulphinyl, sulphonyl or an imino group of formula --NRa-- in which Ra is hydrogen, (1-6C)alkyl or together with R2 and the adjacent nitrogen atom forms a 4 to 6-membered saturated heterocyclic ring; andA is N or CT in which T is hydrogen or (1-4C)alkyl; or a pharmaceutically acceptable salt thereof; processes for the manufacture of the compounds and pharmaceutical compositions containing them. The compounds are useful as adenosine antagonists.

Abstract: A compound of the formula I ##STR1## wherein: A.sup.1 and A.sup.2 are each independently N or CT in which T is hydrogen or (1-4C)alkyl;R.sup.1 and R.sup.2 are each independently hydrogen, (1-6C)alkyl, or (1-4C)alkanoyl;X.sup.1 and X.sup.2 are each independently O, S or NH; andL is a (3-7C)cycloalkylene group or a (1-8C)alkylene chain optionally interrupted or extended by a group selected from phenylene, phenyleneoxy or oxyphenyleneoxy, the phenylene portion of said group being unsubstituted or substituted by one of halogen, hydroxy and (1-4C)alkoxy, provided that all heteroatoms in the group X.sup.1 --L--X.sup.2 are separated from one another by at least two carbon atoms; or a pharmaceutically acceptable salt thereof, processes for preparing the compounds and pharmaceutical compositions containing them. The compounds are useful as adenosine antagonists.
