Abstract

Compounds are described of the formula ##STR1## wherein R.sub.1 and R.sub.4 independently represent a C.sub.1-4 alkyl group: R.sub.2 represents a group ##STR2## (where A is a bond or a methylene group and R.sub.7 is phenyl C.sub.1-4 alkyl; or R.sub.2 represents a group CH.sub.2 CH.sub.2 NR.sub.8 R.sub.9 (where R.sub.8 is hydrogen or C.sub.1-4 alkyl and R.sub.9 is C.sub.1-4 alkyl, phenyl C.sub.1-4 alkyl or benzoyl C.sub.1-4 alkyl); or R.sub.2 represents a C.sub.1-4 alkyl group substituted by nitrile. R.sub.3 represents a C.sub.1-6 straight or brached alkyl chain or alkoxy group; R.sub.5 represents a straight or branched chain C.sub.1-13 alkyl group or a C.sub.5-8 cycloalkyl group which may be substituted by a C.sub.1-3 alkyl substituent; R.sub.6 represents a halogen atom or a straight or branched C.sub.1-3 alkyl group. The compounds represented by formula (I) reduce intracellular calcium ion concentration by limiting transmembranal calcium ion influx and thus may be useful for the treatment of cardiovascular disorders such as hypertension.
