The compound of formula I exhibits valuable pharmacological activity and is, therefore, indicated for use as a pharmaceutical, e.g. for therapy. In particular, the compound possess luteinising hormone (LH) and testosterone secretion inhibiting activity in the following test:
Adult male rats of the Wistar strain (SIV, Kissleg, West Germany,
200-300 g) receive the test compound intraperitoneally. 2 hours later the rats are killed by decapitation and blood samples are taken. Serum LH is measured using a bioassay based on the production of testosterone by disperse, collagenase treated rat interstitial Leydig cells exposed to LH containing serum or rat LH-standard; serum testosterone is measured by radioimmunoassay (125-J-T, cis,
Medipro Teufen, Switzerland) [cf. E. del Pozo, A. Podesti, A. Solano, J. Calaf, M. Mark6, in : Biorhythms and Stress in the Physiopathology of Reproduction, P. Pancheri and L. Zichella (Eds), Hemisphere Publishing Co. Washington, 389-398 (1988)].
The compound of formula I inhibits LH- and testosterone-secretion at the dose of 3.2 mg/kg i.p. significantly. (±)-4-(3-Phosphono-2-pro-penyl)-2-piperazinecarboxylic acid (hereinafter called CPP-ene), the corresponding racemate of the compound of formula I, at 3.2 mg/kg i.p. has no effect on LH-secretion and only weakly inhibits testosterone-secretion.
In female rats the compound of formula I inhibits LH-dependent spontaneous ovulation in the following test [cf. M. Mark6 and E. Fliickiger, Neuroendocrino!ogy 30, 228-231 (1980)]:
Female rats of the Wistar strain (SIV, Kissleg, West Germany, 200-300 g) with regular 4 day cycles receive the test substance during proestrus at 13.00 and 15.00 hrs. intraperitoneally. The next day at 9.00 h,
when the rats are in estrus, they are sacrified, the oviducts examined

500-5719
microscopically and the ova counted. Ovulation is deemed to be inhibited only if no ova counted. The compound of formula I (tested as the monohydrate) inhibits spontaneous ovulation significantly when administered at dosages of 2 x 3.2 mg/kg i.p. (at 13.00 3.2 mg/kg i.p. and at 15.00 h 3.2 mg/kg i.p.). CPP-ene inhibits spontaneous ovulation very weakly when administered at dosages of 2 x 3.2 mg/kg i.p. under the same experimental conditions.
The compound of formula I is, therefore, indicated for use in the treatment of disorders having an aetiology associated with or modulated by LH secretion or having an aetiology in which the physiological regulation of LH secretion is implicated, for example in the treatment of prostate hypertrophy, in the treatment of menopausal syndrome, as well as the treatment of mammary- and prostate-carcinoma. For this use an indicated daily dosage is in the range from about 1 to about 800 mg of the compound conveniently given in divided doses 2 to 4 times a day in unit dosage form containing for example from about 0.25 to about 400 mg of the compound or in sustained release form.
The compound of formula I shows muscle relaxant activity in the conscious rabbit in dosages from 0.01 to 0.05 mg/kg i.v. [H.J. Teschendorf et al., Arch. Exp. Pharmacol. 266, 467-468 (1970)]. In this test the monohydrate of the compound of formula I causes a 502 inhibition of reflex muscle tone after administration of 0.02 mg/kg i.v., whereas CPP-ene inhibits reflex muscle tone by 47% after administration of 0.5 mg/kg i.v.; the compound of formula I being about 25 times more active than the corresponding racemate.
The compound of formula I is, therefore, indicated for use in the treatment of increased muscle tone, for example in the treatment of painful muscle spasms attributable to static and functional

disorders of the lumbar or cervical spine or after surgery or in the treatment of spasticity, e.g. due to multiple sclerosis» diseases of the spinal cord, cerebrovascular accidents, cerebral trauma or cerebral palsy. For this use an indicated daily dosage is in the range from about 1 to about 800 mg of the compound conveniently administered in divided doses 2 to 4 times a day in unit dosage form containing for example from about 0.25 to about 400 mg of the compound or in sustained release form.
Furthermore, the compound of formula I reduces ischaemia-induced neuronal damage and ensuing symptoms in the middle cerebral artery (MCA) occlusion model in rats at a dosage of 1-30 mg/kg s.c. and particularly at 3 x 10 mg/kg i.p. [cf. A.Tamura et al., J. Cereb. Blood Flow Metabol. !_» 53-60 (1981), A. Sauter, M. Rudin, Stroke 2Z.« 1228-1234 (1986)3. The area of infarcted tissue is measured using MCID image analysis software (developed by Imaging Research Inc.) in 5 horizontal 20 thick sl.ices sectioned at multiple levels and stained by cresyl violett. The total volume of brain showing ischaemic damage is estimated by adding the 5 areas obtained from the 5 slices. The infarct size determined histologically 5 days after occlusion of MCA is reduced by more than 20% after treatment with 3 x 10 mg/kg i.p. of the monohydrate of compound of formula I (first injection immediately after MCA occlusion, second and third after 8 respectively 16 hours).
- 11 - 500-5719
The compound is therefore indicated for use in the prophylaxis and therapy of conditions associated with cerebral ischaemia e.g. stroke. For this use an indicated daily dosage is in the range from about 25 to about 800 mg of the compound conveniently administered in divided doses 2 to 4 times a day in unit dosage form containing for example from about 6 to about 400 mg of the compound or in sustained release form.
Furthermore, the compound of formula I has a potent, selective and competitive antagonistic action on NMDA (N-Methyl-D-aspartic acid) receptors. Thus the monohydrate of the compound of formula I inhibits NMDA-induced depolarisations in the isolated frog spinal cord assay CP.L.Herrling, Neuroscience J4, 417-426 (1985)] with a pA2 value of 6.8, CPP-ene with a pA2 value of 6.2, thus the compound of formula I being about 4-fold as active as the corresponding racemate. CPP C(±)--3-(2-carboxypiperazin-4-yl)propyl-l-phosphonic acid], the emphasized compound of UK Patent Application 2 157 685 has a pA2 value of 5.8.
In the NMDA-induced sodium efflux assay on rat brain slices (Luini A., Goldberg 0. + Teichberg V.I., Proc. Natl. Acad. Sci. USA 78, 3250-3254 (1981)] the monohydrate of the compound of formula I has a pA2 value of 6.5 and CPP-ene a pA^ of 6.2, the compound of formula I being about twice as active as the corresponding racemate. CPP has a pA2 value of 6.0.
The selectivity of the NMDA antagonistic action is indicated in that it is inactive, as well as CPP-ene and CPP,in the quisqualate- and kainate-induced sodium efflux test up to a concentration of 1 mM.
As a result of its NMDA receptor antagonism the compound of formula I is indicated for use in the treatment of anxiety, schizophrenia and depression or of CNS degenerative disorders, such as Huntington's,
BNSDOCID: <GB 2201676A I >

500-5719
Alzheimer's or Parkinson's diseases. For these uses an indicated daily dosage is in the range from about 25 to about 800 mg of the compound conveniently administered in divided doses 2 to 4 times a day in unit dosage form containing for example from about 6 to about 400 mg of the compound or in sustained release form.
As a result of its NMDA receptor antagonism the compound of formula I is further indicated for use in the treatment of tinnitus. For this use an indicated daily dosage is in the range from about 25 to about 800 mg of the compound conveniently administered in divided doses 2 to 4 times a day in unit dosage form containing for example from about 6 to about 400 mg of the compound or in sustained release form.
Additionally the compound of formula I shows anticonvulsant activity in electroshock-induced convulsions in the mouse [E.A. Swinyard, J.Am. Pharm. Assoc. Scient. Ed. 38, 201 (1949) and J. Pharmacol. Exptl. Therap. 106, 319 (1952)3. In this test, groups of 6 male mice (18-26 g, 0F-1, Sandoz Basle) receive the test substance intraperitoneally. After 1, 2 and 4 hrs. a 50 mA, 200 ms long shock is applied via corneal electrodes, smeared with electrolyte jelly. This supra-maximal shock produces tonic extensor convulsions of all extremities. Inhibition of the hindlimb extension is taken as a protective action. After investigation of several dose-levels the threshold dose is estimated. The threshold dose at 1 hour, the dose required to inhibit the hindlimb extension is <1 mg/kg .i.p. for the compound of formula I (monohydrate) and between 3-10 mg/kg i.p. for CPP-ene. The literature threshold dose of CPP is 10 mg/kg i.p.

The compound of formula I further inhibits N-Methyl-D-aspartic acid (NMDA) induced convulsions in the mouse. In this test groups of 6 female mice (18-26 g, OF-1, Sandoz Basle) were pretreated with the test substance intraperitoneally. 30 minutes later they are challenged with 400 mg/kg s.c. NMDA in the neck region and observed for 30 minutes. The latencies for the appearance of the first signs of convulsions, for the first tonic convulsions and for the occurrence of death are noted. The significance of any differences is assessed using the Mann-Whitney U-test CS. Siegel, Non-parametric Statistics, McGraw-Hill, New York 1956]. The threshold dose is the smallest dose at which there is a significant inhibition of convulsive symptoms. The threshold dose of the compound of formula I (tested as monohydrate) is approximately 5 mg/kg i.p., of CPP 10 mg/kg i.p.
As a result of its anticonvulsant activity the compound of formula I is indicated for use in the treatment of epilepsy. For this use an indicated daily dosage is in the range from about 25 to about 800 mg of the compound conveniently administered in divided doses 2 to 4 times a day in unit dosage form containing for example from about 6 to about 400 mg of the compound or in sustained release form.
The compound of formula I further shows analgesic activity in the isolated rat spinal cord-tail in vitro using capsaicin (0.8-1 /iM) as a chemical noxious'stimulus eliciting depolarising ventral root responses [M. Yanagisawa et al., European J. Pharmacol. 106,231-239 (1984)]. The monohydrate of the compound of formula I reduces the chemical stimulus by 75-80% at a concentration of 10 /jM.
The compound of formula I is, therefore,indicated for use for relieving pain. For this use an indicated daily dosage is in the range from about 25 to about 800 mg of the compound conveniently administered in divided doses 2 to 4 times a day in unit dosage form containing

Moreover, the compound of formula I as well as the corresponding racemate have no effects on blood pressure and heart rate in the anaesthetised cat in a dose up to 10 mg/kg i.v. In pilot toxicity tests with dogs over 4 weeks 3 mg/kg/day i.v. of the compound of formula I are well tolerated.
As can be seen from the above test results, the strong LH secretion inhibiting activity, the marked (25 fold) increase of the muscle relaxant activity as well as the two- to four-fold NMDA receptor antagonistic activity of the compound of formula I as compared to the corresponding racemate is not accompanied by a similar increase in the side effects, e.g. cardiovascular effects.
The compound of formula I may be administered as such or as its pharmaceutically acceptable salts. Such salts exhibits the same order of activity as the compound of formula I.

The present invention further provides pharmaceutical compositions comprising the compound of formula I or a pharmaceutically acceptable salt thereof in association with a pharmaceutical^ acceptable carrier or diluent.
The compound of formula I may be administered by any conventional route in particular enterally, preferably orally or parenterally. The compound of formula I may be administered as such or admixed with conventional pharmaceutical carriers. For example, for oral administration e.g. in the form of tablets or capsules, the compound of formula I may be admixed with conventional pharmaceutically acceptable excipients e.g. inert diluents, such as lactose, mannitol, calcium sulfate, micro-cristalline cellulose; disintegrating agents, e.g. starch, sodiwn carboxyroethyl cellulose, sodium carboxymethyl starch, alginic acid, crospovidone; binding agents such as cellulose derivates (methyl-, hydroxymethyl-, hydroxypropylmethyl-), povidone, gelatine; lubricating agents e.g. siliciumdioxide, stearic acid, magnesium or calcium stearate; hydrogenated oils such as castor oil, glycerol esters e.g. pal mi tostearate and/or flavouring, colouring and sweetening agents. The tablets may be uncoated or coated by known techniques to delay disintegration and absorption in the gastrointestinal tract and thereby provide a sustained action over a longer period. Parenteral compositions are preferably in the form of a sterile injectable aqueous solution. Such aqueous solutions should be suitably buffered if necessary and rendered isotonic with sufficient saline. Optionally a preservative, such as benzyl alcohol, can be added.
A unit dosage may contain from about 0.25 to about 400 mg of the compound of formula I or a pharmaceutically acceptable salt thereof.
The pharmaceutical compositions can be prepared according to conventional techniques.
