ABSTRACT:

DESCRIPTION OF THE PRIOR ART
Compounds having a benzenesulphonamide chain have been described in Application EP 864 561 in relation to their NO-yielding character and their thromboxane A
2
(TXA
2
) receptor antagonist character, as well as in Application EP 648 741 solely in relation to their TXA
2
receptor antagonist properties.
The compounds of the present invention have a novel structure giving them a TXA
2
receptor antagonist and 5HT
2
serotonergic receptor antagonist character.
BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION
Platelet aggregation and vasospasms play an essential role in the etiology and development of atherothrombotic cardiovascular disorders. TXA
2
, an arachidonic acid metabolite, and serotonin (5HT), a neurotransmitter, are both powerful vasoconstrictor agents, and are able to induce or reinforce platelet activation, resulting in the aggregation thereof. The vasoconstrictor and pro-aggregation actions of TXA
2
are effected through the intermediary of membrane receptors called TP receptors (Medicinal Research Reviews, 1991, 11, 5, p. 503) while those of serotonin are effected via the intermediary of 5HT
1
or 5HT
2
receptors (T.I.P.S., 1991, 121, p. 223). Research strategies pursued with the aim of finding agents that block the production and/or activation of TXA
2
have led to the development of selective TP receptor antagonists, of TXA
2
-synthase inhibitors, or of mixed agents that exhibit both properties (Medicinal Research Reviews, ibid., T.I.P.S., 1991, 121, 158). Like TXA
2
, serotonin acts by stimulating platelets and vascular contractions and its activity is found to be increased in atherothrombotic disorders.
The idea of compounds that oppose both the process that causes thromboxane to become active and the process that causes serotonin to become active is extremely useful for the clinician. Such products have the advantage of offering more complete protection both against the activation of platelets and against vasospasms. It will thus be possible for such products to be used in the treatment of pathologies associated with increased activity of TXA
2
and 5-HT especially in the treatment of atherothrombotic cardiovascular disorders, such as myocardial infarction, angina pectoris, cerebral vascular accidents, Raynaud's disease, and also asthma and bronchospasms, as well as migraine and venous disorders.
