1,3-Dihydro-3-R-5-PY-2H-imidazo[4,5-b]pyridin-2-ones or 2-thiones or pharmaceutically-acceptable acid-addition salts thereof, which are useful as cardiotonic agents, where R is hydrogen, lower-alkyl, lower-hydroxyalkyl, 2,3-dihydroxypropyl, lower-alkoxyalkyl or Y-NB where Y is lower-alkylene and NB is di-(lower-alkyl)amino or 4-morpholinyl, and PY is 4- or 3-pyridinyl or 4- or 3-pyridinyl having one or two lower-alkyl substituents, are prepared by reacting a 3-amino-2-RNH-6-PY-pyridine with urea or carbonyldiimidazole to produce said -2-ones or with an alkali metal xanthate, thiourea or thiocarbonyldiimidazole to produce said -2-thiones. Also shown is the preparation of the intermediate 3-amino-2-RNH-6-PY-pyridines. |
