7-Mercapto(or alkyl- or aralkylthio)-1,2,4-benzothiadiazine-1,1-dioxide compounds are described. Products are prepared by reducing a 7-chlorosulfonyl substituent to the 7-mercapto and then, if desired, alkylating or aralkylating to provide 7-thio substituent. Alternatively, a 4-RS-orthanilamide can be cyclized by known procedures to provide a 3-unsubstituted or 3-substituted analog. Products are xanthine oxidase inhibitors. |
