Abstract: New benzimidazoles correponding to the general formula I ##STR1## are described, in which the pyridazinone ring is attached in the 5- or 6- position of the benzimidazole ring and R.sup.1 denotes a hydrogen atom or a straight chained or branched C.sub.1 to C.sub.4 alkyl group, R.sup.2 denotes a hydrogen atom, a straight chained or branched C.sub.1 to C.sub.4 alkyl group, a C.sub.1 to C.sub.4 alkoxy group, a hydroxy group, a halogen atom, an amino group or a nitro group, A denotes a hydrogen atom, a group of the formula ##STR2## wherein R.sup.3 denotes a hydrogen atom, an optionally substituted C.sub.1 to C.sub.4 alkyl group or a C.sub.1 to C.sub.4 alkoxy group and B denotes a cyano group, a benzoyl group or a phenylsulphonyl group, or A denotes a group of the formula ##STR3## in which m has the value 2 or 3 and n represents an integer from 1 to 6, and the physiologically acceptable salts thereof as well as processes for their preparation and pharmaceutical preparations.
