asthma and they have shown decided advantages over the ~mimetics usually employed in this field in that they did not show the side effect of enhancing the heart frequenc~
exhibited by ~-mimetics. With ~-mimetics this side effect leads to unpleasant subjective grievances (e~g. pronounced `-~tachycardia) even when applying the effective dosage units.
In the case of an over-dose, they can cause severe compli~
cations (e.g. necrosis of the heart muscles).
~, .
In distinction to the ~-mime~cs, some of the new compounds of general formula I are not only capable of relaxing the spastically reacting bronchial muscular system of the asthma~`
patient, but are also able ~o liquefy the tenacious mucus, ~

were compared with the known broncholytic Meta-pro~erenol, also known as Orciprenaline or 3,5-dihydroxy-a-isopropylamirlo-,~

average percentage decrease of the bronchospasm produced by~
administering various doses of the compounds~of the present invention, an ED50 was dete~nined by graphical extrapolation.

~ The acute toxicity was tested with NMRI mice~of male and female sex (body weight 20 g) after intravenous application -~
of the substances. O.l ml of a 0~9~/0 sodium chloride solution :
per lO g of animal were used as a vehicle. The LD50 was ;~
calculat~d from the pércentage of animals which died within ~0 a period of l4 days after administration of various doses, ~ ~`

tinuously registered by means of a G-rass tachograph 7P4, directed by the R-wave of an electrocardiogram. The test substances were injected via a catheter introduced into the vena femoralis.

As may~be seen from Table 1~ the compounds of general formula I
tested po~sess a broncholytic activity which is dependent on the dosage applied on an experimentally started asthma attack in guinea~pigs~ the broncholytic activity being as high as that ~-of orciprenal-ine or even higher. The duration of activity ~ `~
of the single dose of the new compounds significantly surpasses that of the known orciprenaline.

A somewhat increased acute toxicity results from the prolonged -d~ration of activity compared with orciprenaline, but this is of no importance because of the absolute therapeutic breadth. ~ ~-The claimed compounds dif~er from orciprenaline fundamentally -in their side effect on the heart.
