Abstract: Novel carbostyril derivatives represented by the general formula (1), ##STR1## wherein R.sup.1 is a hydrogen atom, a lower alkyl group, a lower alkenyl group, a lower alkynyl group or a phenyl-lower alkyl group; R.sup.2 is a lower alkanoyl group, a lower alkoxycarbonyl group, a furoyl group, a lower alkane-sulfonyl group, a substituted benzoyl group, a substituted phenyl-lower alkenylcarbonyl group, a phenoxy-lower alkyl group, or a substituted phenylsulfonyl group; A is a lower alkylene group; the carbon-carbon bond between 3- and 4-positions in the carbostyril skeleton is a single or double bond; and the substituted position of the side-chain of the formula, ##STR2## may be of 5-, 6-, 7- or 8-position in the carbostyril skeleton; and acid addition salts thereof.

Abstract: Carbostyril derivatives of the general formula ##STR1## wherein R.sup.1 is a hydrogen atom, a lower alkyl group, a lower alkenyl group, a lower alkynyl group or a phenyl-lower alkyl group and R.sup.2 and R.sup.3 may be the same or different and each is a substituted or unsubstituted lower alkyl group, or R.sup.2 and R.sup.3 may form, together with the adjacent nitrogen atom, a 5- or 6-membered saturated heterocyclic ring which may be substituted or unsubstituted. The derivatives are useful as the active ingredient in cardiotonic compositions.
