Compsn. for treating neurological disorders contains, apart from a diluent or carrier, a pyridazino-quinoline cpd. of formula (I) or its pharmaceutically acceptable salt. R3 = H, NH2, NHNH2, OH or SH; A = (Ia) (any one C atom not involved in the ring junction can be replaced by N); R4-R7 = H, halo, 1-4C alkyl (opt. contg. double or triple bond), 1-3C perfluoroalkyl or 1-3C alkyl substd. by CF3, NO2, ORd, COORd, CON(Rd)2, CN, N(Rd)2 or cyclopropyl; each Rd is H or 1-4C alkyl. Included are cpds. obtd. from (I) by mono-, di- or tri-acylation with R8COX' or by mono-, di- or tri-alkylation with R12X, and their pharmaceutically acceptable salts. X and X' = conventional leaving gp.; R8 = H, 1-12C alkyl (opt. contg. a double or triple bond and opt. substd. by CN, ORe, COORe, N(Rf)2 or CON(Rf)2); N(Rg)2; pyridyl, pyridyl(1-12C)alkyl; phenyl or phenyl(1-4C)alkyl opt. ring-substd. by 0-3 of halo, NH2, OH, CN, NO2 or 1-4C alkyl or alkoxy; Re = H, 1-4C alkyl, phenyl or phenyl(1-4C)alkyl (opt. ring-substd. as above); Rf = Rh, CORh or COORh in N(Rf)2 or Rh is CON(Rf)2; Rh is as Re or 2 together complete a satd. 4-7 membered ring; Rg are as Rh; R12 = 1-4C alkyl (opt. contg. a double or triple bond in which case a CH2 must be present between the multiple bond and the gp. to give R12 is attached); phenyl(1-4C)alkyl (opt. ring-substd. as above) or (CH2)mCOORa; Ra = H or 1-4C alkyl; m = 1-6. |
