Within the scope of the present invention is a new pharmacological strategy for the treatment of tumors based on anti-tumoral immune responses.

Within the scope of the present invention is a new pharmacological strategy for the treatment of tumors based on anti-tumoral immune responses.

The present invention provides compounds of Formula I ##STR00001##
and the pharmaceutically acceptable salts thereof, which are inhibitors of the ROMK (Kir1.1) channel. The compounds may be used as diuretic and/or natriuretic agents and for the therapy and prophylaxis of medical conditions including cardiovascular diseases such as hypertension, heart failure and chronic kidney disease and conditions associated with excessive salt and water retention.

The present invention provides, inter alia, methods for treating or ameliorating the effects of a glioma. Methods of this invention include administering to a subject in need thereof an effective amount of a first active agent, such as e.g., an angiotensin receptor blocker, an antifungal agent, a bisphosphonate, an oxytocin inhibitor, an interleukin-1 (IL-1) inhibitor, a cyclooxygenase inhibitor, an α2δ voltage-dependent calcium channel (VDCC) inhibitor, a dihydroorotate dehydrogenase inhibitor, a calcium channel blocker, a renal sodium-chloride symporter inhibitor, an a2 adrenergic agonist, a phenothiazine antipsychotic, a calcineurin inhibitor, a 5-HT agonist, an angiotensin-converting enzyme (ACE) inhibitor, a direct rennin inhibitor, or combinations thereof, and a second active agent, which is a chemotherapeutic agent. Compositions for treating or ameliorating the effects of a glioma are also provided.

Antihypertensive agents which are crystalline having a general plate shape may be difficult to formulate as they often do not exhibit good flowability properties. Addition of spray-dried riboflavin surprisingly improves flowability of these agents.
