This is a continuation-in-part of copending application Ser. No. 068,673, filed Aug. 22, 1979, now abandoned. 
    
    
     This invention relates to novel 4-hydroxy-2H-[1]-benzothieno[2,3-e]-1,2-thiazine-3-carboxamide-1,1-dioxides and non-toxic salts thereof formed with inorganic or organic bases, to methods of preparing these compounds, to pharmaceutical composition containing them as active ingredients, and to methods of using the same as antiphlogistics and antithrombotics. 
     More particularly, the present invention relates to a novel class of compounds represented by the formula ##STR2## wherein R 1  is hydrogen, halogen or alkyl of 1 to 3 carbon atoms; R 2  is hydrogen or alkyl of 1 to 3 carbon atoms; and 
     R 3  is aromatic hydrocarbyl of 6 to 10 carbon atoms or an aromatic heterocycle of 2 to 9 carbon atoms and 1 to 2 nitrogen atoms and/or an oxygen or a sulfur atom, where each of said aromatic substituents may in turn be substituted with one or two alkyls of 1 to 6 carbon atoms, halogen, hydroxyl, trifluoromethyl, halophenyl or alkoxy of 1 to 3 carbon atoms; 
     and non-toxic, pharmacologically acceptable salts thereof formed with inorganic or organic bases. 
     Illustrative examples of the aromatic hydrocarbyl and aromatic heterocyclic radicals defined by R 3  above are the following: Phenyl, naphthyl, pyridyl, pyrimidyl, pyrazinyl, pyridazinyl, oxazolyl, isoxazolyl, thiazolyl, isothiazolyl, benzothiazolyl, 4,5,6,7-tetrahydro-benzothiazolyl, cyclopentathiazolyl, and 1,3,4-thiadiazolyl. 
     A preferred sub-genus under the genus defined by formula I is constituted by those compounds wherein 
     R 1  is hydrogen, halogen or alkyl of 1 to 3 carbon atoms; 
     R 2  is hydrogen or alkyl of 1 to 3 carbon atoms; and 
     R 3  is phenyl, naphthyl, pyridyl, pyrimidyl, pyrazinyl, pyridazinyl, oxazolyl, isoxazolyl, thiazolyl, isothiazolyl, benzothiazolyl, cyclopentathiazolyl or 1,3,4-thiadiazolyl, where each of these may be substituted with one or two alkyls of 1 to 6 carbon atoms, halogen, hydroxyl, trifluoromethyl, halophenyl or alkoxy of 1 to 3 carbon atoms; 
     and non-toxic, pharmacologically acceptable salts thereof formed with inorganic or organic bases. 
     An especially preferred sub-genus thereunder is constituted by those compounds of the formula I wherein 
     R 1  is hydrogen, chlorine or methyl; 
     R 2  is methyl; and 
     R 3  is phenyl, chloro-phenyl, pyridyl, chloropyridyl, hydroxy-pyridyl, methyl-pyridyl, thiazolyl, mono- or di-(alkyl of 1 to 4 carbon atoms)-thiazolyl, chloro-thiazolyl, trifluoromethyl-thiazolyl, chlorophenyl-thiazolyl, benzothiazolyl, 5,6-dimethyl-benzothiazolyl, 4,5,6,7-tetrahydro-benzothiazolyl, 5,6-dihydro-4H-cyclopentathiazolyl, 5-methyl-isoxazolyl, pyrimidyl or pyrazinyl; 
     and non-toxic, pharmacologically acceptable salts thereof formed with inorganic or organic bases. 
     The compounds embraced by formula I may be prepared by reacting a 4-hydroxy-2H-[1]-benzothieno[2,3-e]-1,2-thiazine-3-carboxylic acid derivative of the formula ##STR3## wherein R 1  and R 2  have the same meanings as in formula I; and X is a nucleophilic exchangeable substituent, such as alkoxy of 1 to 6 carbon atoms or aralkoxy of 7 to 10 carbon atoms, 
     with an amine of the formula 
     
         NH.sub.2 --R.sub.3                                         (III) 
    
     wherein R 3  has the same meanings as in formula I. 
     The reaction is advantageously carried out in a suitable inert organic solvent, for example, in an aromatic hydrocarbon such as benzene, toluene, xylene, chlorobenzene, o-dichlorobenzene or tetrahydronaphthalene, or in a dipolar aprotic solvent such as dimethylformamide, dimethylacetamide, hexamethylphosphoric acid triamide, or dimethylsulfoxide, or in an ether such as dimethoxyethane, diethyleneglycol-dimethylether or diphenylether, or in an excess of the amine of the formula III at temperatures between 60° and 200° C., preferably, however, at the boiling point of the reaction mixture. However, the reaction can also be carried out in the absence of a solvent. 
     The reaction is especially advantageously carried out in the presence of toluene or xylene at the boiling point of these solvents, whereby the alcohol HX released by the reaction is simultaneously removed by azeotropic distillation, or by using a Soxhlet-extractor equipped with a molecular sieve. 
     The compounds embraced by formula I form non-toxic, pharmacologically acceptable salts with inorganic or organic bases. Examples of such salts are those formed with alkali metal alcoholates, such as sodium ethylate; alkali metal hydroxides, such as sodium hydroxide or potassium hydroxide; alkaline earth metal hydroxides, such as calcium hydroxide; tetraalkyl ammonium hydroxides, such as tetraethyl ammonium hydroxide; or alkylamines, such as methylamine or cyclohexylamine. 
     The starting compounds of the formula II may be prepared pursuant to the following schematic reaction sequence: ##STR4## where R 1  and R 2  have the same meanings as in formula I. For this purpose a cinnamic acid of the formula IV is converted at elevated temperatures into a 3-chloro-benzo[b]thiophene-2-carboxylic acid chloride of the formula V [see W. B. Wright et al. in J. Het. Chem. 8, 711 (1971); T. Higa et al. in J. Org. Chem. 40, 3037 (1975); and ibid. 41, 3399 (1976)] by means of thionylchloride in pyridine, which is subsequently hydrolized in alkaline solution. The thus obtained alkali metal salt of the 3-chlorobenzo-[b]thiophene-2-carboxylic acid is reacted in aqueous solution with sodium hydrogen sulfite in the presence of a copper-(I)-halide in an autoclave at temperatures between 135° and 150° C. By acidifying with concentrated hydrochloric acid and addition of sodium chloride, a compound of the formula VI is obtained which, after drying, is converted into the corresponding acid chloride of the formula VII. This conversion is effected by means of at least 2 mols of phosphorus pentachloride in phosphorus oxide trichloride at temperatures between 30° C. and the boiling point of the mixture. The acid chloride of the formula VII thus obtained is subsequently converted into the corresponding ester of the formula VIII by means of methanolysis, which is then converted into a compound of the formula IX by reaction with a corresponding glycine ester. The conversion of the compound of the formula IX thus obtained into a starting compound of the formula II is carried out by reaction with an alcoholate of an alcohol of the formula 
     
         H--X                                                       (X) 
    
     wherein X has the meanings previously defined, in the presence of a corresponding anhydrous alcohol at temperatures between 10° and 80° C. 
     The starting compounds of the formula III are to a large extent known from the literature. For example, 2-amino-4,5,6,7-tetrahydro-benzothiazole, 2-amino-4-(1,1-dimethylethyl)-thiazole and 2-amino-4-(4-chlorophenyl)thiazole are obtained according to L. C. King et al., J. Amer. Chem. Soc. 72, 3722 (1950), by reaction of a corresponding ketone with thiourea and iodine; 4-trifluoromethyl-2-thiazolamines obtained by reaction of 1-bromo-3,3,3-trifluoro-acetone with thiourea [see J. B. Dickey et al., J. Org. Chem. 20, 409, 505 ff. (1955)]; and 5-alkyl-2-thiazolamine are obtained by chlorination of a suitable primary alcohol at 0° to 5° C. and subsequent reaction with thiourea [see M. V. Shirsat, C. A. 54, 14230e (1960)].

     The starting compound was obtained by the following reaction sequence: 
     (a) Sodium 2-carboxy-benzo[b]thiophene-3-sulfonate 
     74.0 gm (0.32 mol) of 3-chloro-benzo[b]thiophene-2-carboxylic acid chloride (m.p. 112°-113° C.) were stirred with a solution of 25.6 gm (0.64 mol) of sodium hydroxide in 250 cc of water for 12 hours while keeping the reaction temperature at 50° C. Thereafter 66.6 gm (0.64 mol) of solid sodium hydrogen sulfite were added to the neutral-reacting solution. The reaction mixture was made slightly alkaline by addition of a 40% sodium hydroxide solution and heated for 16 hours to 143° C. in an autoclave after addition of 3.0 gm (0.03 mol) of copper(I)-chloride. After cooling, the mixture was adjusted to pH 4 by adding hydrochloric acid, filtered and extracted once with 200 cc of ethyl acetate to remove the residual unreacted starting material. After further acidification to pH 1 and by addition of 60 gm of sodium chloride a colorless precipitate was obtained from the aqueous phase, which was suction-filtered off, washed with 30 cc of saturated aqueous sodium chloride solution and suction-filtered. The reaction product was dissolved in warm methanol and separated from the insoluble excess sodium chloride. The solvent was evaporated in vacuo, and the residue was dried by azeotropic distillation with 50 cc of toluene. 43 gm (48% of theory) of colorless crude sodium 2-carboxy-benzo[b]thiophene-3-sulfonate were obtained, which were further processed without further purification. 
     (b) 2-Chlorocarbonyl-benzo[b]thiophene-3-sulfonic acid chloride 
     44.0 gm (0.157 mol) of the above 2-carboxy-benzo[b]thiophene-3-sulfonic acid mono sodium salt were suspended in 200 cc of phosphorus oxychloride and admixed with 65.4 gm (0.314 mol) of phosphorus-(V)-chloride. To complete the reaction which was exothermic in the beginning accompanied by evolution of hydrogen chloride, the reaction mixture was heated to 100° C. for 2 hours, cooled and the inorganic salts were filtered off. After evaporation in vacuo, the residue was taken up in 300 cc of dry chloroform, the solution was filtered and again evaporated. The oily residue, consisting of 27 gm (58% of theory) of raw 2-chlorocarbonyl-benzo[b]thiophene-3-sulfonic acid chloride, crystallized upon cooling (m.p. 45°-47° C.) and was used without further purification in the next step.

     1. Inhibition of blood-platelet aggregation 
     The thrombocyte aggregation was measured according to the method of BORN and CROSS (J. Physiol. 170, 397, [1967]) in platelet-rich plasma of healthy test persons. The decrease in the optical density of platelet suspensions was measured photometrically and recorded after the addition of collagen. 
     From the angle of inclination of the density curve the velocity of aggregation was estimated. The optical density was taken as the point on the curve where the most light was transmitted. 
     The doses of collagen were chosen so as to be sufficient to produce irreversible aggregation. 
     The figures indicated refer to the optical density and give the change in the transmission of light in percent (=% decrease in aggregation) under the influence of the test compound in comparison to the control. 
     Commercial collagen sold by Hormonchemie, Munich, Germany, was used. 
     The following table shows the results obtained from this test:

     2. Anti-inflammatory activity 
     The anti-inflammatory activity [see Vane in Nature New Biology 231, 232, (1971)], the analgesic activity [see Ferreira in Nature New Biology 240, 200 (1972)] and also the antipyretic activity [see Flower and Vane in Nature New Biology 240, 410 (1972)] of the nonsteroidal antiphlogistics are predicated by the mechanism of inhibition of the prostaglandin biosynthesis. 
     Therefore, the anti-inflammatory activity was determined as the activity against the prostaglandin synthetases: 
     Method: 
     The determination of the rate of prostaglandin biosynthesis was carried out radiochemically by means of a modification of the method of WHITE and GLASSMAN [Prostaglandins, 7, 123 (1974)]. The prostaglandin synthetases were isolated as a microsomal extract from bovine seminal vesicles according to FLOWER et al. [Prostaglandins 4, 325 (1973)]. 
       14  C-arachidonic acid served as the substrate. The prostaglandins biosynthetisized therefrom were separated chromatographically from the  14  C-arachidonic acid, and the remaining substrate and product were measured radiochemically. 
     From the amount of prostaglandins eluted after the action of different concentrations of the test compound (measured in dpm, based on 20,000 dpm of eluted prostaglandin+arachidonic acid, an EC 50  was calculated by linear regression analysis according to LINDER (Statistische Methoden, 4th edition, pp. 148-162, Birkhauser, Basel 1964) as that end concentration in the test system which led to a 50% decrease in the amount of prostaglandins over the control batches without the test compound. 
     The results of this test are shown in the following table:

     3. Acute toxicity 
     The acute toxicity was determined in rats of both sexes (1:1) with a body weight of 120-150 gm. The test compound was perorally administered as a suspension in 1% methyl-cellulose (1 ml/100gm animal) by means of an esophageal sound. The animals were observed for 24 hours after treatment. 
     The following table shows the results obtained:
