at -20 to ~150C, preferably at 0 - 80C.
The compounds of the formula lI are known compounds (see,
for example, Gronowitz, "The Chemistry of Heterocyclic
Compounds", Volume 44, "Th;ophene and its Derivatives",
Parts 1-3, NeY York 1985-6) or they can be prepared analo-

or microorganisms can also be used as the oxid;zing
agent.
The oxidizing agents are used in equimolar amounts, and
also if appropriate in a slight excess of 5 - 10 mol X
in the case of oxidation to T - -S0- or in a larger
excess and/or at a higher reaction temperature it oxida-
tion to T = -S02- is required.

The novel compounds of the formula I and their salts have
useful pharmacological propert;es.
S They clearly inhibit gastric acid secretion and moreover
have an excellent effect of protection of the stom3ch and
intestine.
"Protection of ~he stomach and in~estine" in this connec-
tion is understood as the prevention and treatment of
gastrointestinaL diseases, in particular gastrointestinal
inflammatory dis;eases and Lesions (such as, for examPle,

~;~68461
-- 27 --
Ulcus ventriculi, Ulcus duodeni, gastritis, irriSated
stomach of hyperacid or medicamentous or;gin~, ~hich can
be caused, for example, by microorganisms, bacterial
toxins, ~edicaments (for example antiinflammatories and
antirheumatics), chemicals ~for example ethanol), gastric
acid or stress situations.
On the basis of their excellent properties, the substitu-
ted thienoimidazoles of the formula I and their pharma-
cologically tolerated salts are outstandingly suitable
for use in human and veterinary medicineO and they are
used in particular for the treatment and prophylaxis of
diseases of the stomach and intestine and those diseases
based on excessive gastric acid secretion.
It has been found that colon H~/K~-ATPase (cf. ~ustin,
Goodman, J. ~iol. Chem. 256 C1981~ 10651-10656~ is also
greatly inhibited in vitro by compounds ~hich are formed
~hen the compounds of the formula I according to the
invention are treated ~ith acid (for sxample ~ith sodium
acetate/HCl buffer ~ith a pH of about 4-5.5). Such con-
version products can also be formed in vivo during pas-
sage of the co~pounds o~ the formula I through the gastro-
intestinal tract. The extent to ~hich they are formed
depends on the substitution pattern and on the pH.
Colon H+lK~-ATPase is attributed a decisive influence
on the electrolyte equilibrium on the intestinal ~ucosa.
Colon H /K~-ATPase inhibitors, such as those mentioned
above, can therefore intervene in this equilibrium and
be used for the treatment of diseases ~i~h disturbed
electrolyte equilibrium.
The inven~ion thus also relates to the ~se of compounds
of the formula I or acid conversion products thereof in
the treatment of diarrhea diseases. Examples of such
diseases are inflammatory intestinal diseases, such as
cholera, paratyphoid, travellers` diarrhea or other forms
.~ .

of secretory diarrhea, and also other ;ntestinal d;seases,
such as Morbus Crohn, CoLit;s ulcerosa and regional
enteritis.
The invent;on further~ore relates to conversion products
~hich are formed ~hen compounds o1 the formula I are
treated ~ith acid.
The invention thus also relates to the compounds of the
formula I according to the invent;on for use in the treat-
~ent and prophylaxis of the abovementioned d;seases.
The invention like~ise relates to ehe use of the com-
pounds according to the invention in the preparation of
~edicaments ~hich are used for ehe treatment and prophyl-
axis of the abovementioned diseases.
The invention furthermore relates to medicaments contain-
ing one or more compounds of the general formuia I and/or
pharma~ologically tolerated salts thereof.
The med;caments are prepared by processes which are known
per se and vith ~hich the expert is familiar~ The
pharmacologic3lly active compounds ~= active compounds)
according to the invention are used as medicaments either
as such or, preferably, in comb;nation with suitable
pharmaceutical auxiliaries in the form of tablets, coated
tablets, capsules, suppositories, emulsions, suspensions
or solutions, the active compound content advantageously
being bet~een 0.1 and 96X.
The expert is familiar, on the basis of his kno~ledge,
~ith the auxiliaries vhich are suieable for the desired
medicament fornulations7 In ~ddition to solvents, gel-
forming agents, suppository bases~ tablet auxiliaries
and other active compound excipients, it i5 also possible
to use, for ex~Mple, antioxidants, dispersing agents,
emulsifiers, foilm suppressants, flavor correctants,

-- 29 --
preservatives, solubilizing agents or dyestuffs.
The active compounds can be administered orally or paren-
terally, oral administration being preferred.
In general, it has proved advantageous in human ~edicine
to administer the active compound or compounds, in the
case of oral administration, in a daily dose of about
0.01 to about 20 mg/kg of body ~e;ght, if appropriate in
the form of several, preferably 1 to 4, individual doses,
in order to achieve the desired result. In the case of
parenteral administration, similar or tespecially in the
case of intravenous administratiorl of the active com-
pounds) as a rule lower dosages can be used. The parti-
cular optimum dosage required and the mode of adm;nistra-
tion of the active soMpounds can easily be specified by
any expert on the basis of his ~echnical kno~ledge.
If the compounds according to the invention and/or their
salts are to be used for the treatment ot the abovemen-
tioned diseases, the pharmaceutical formulat;ons can also
contain one or more phar~acologically artive constituents
from other groups of medicaments, such as antibiotics,
for example ofloxacin, ~ntacids, for example aluminum
hydroxide, magnesium aluminate, sucralfate and Bi salts,
tranquillizers, such as benzodiazepines, for example
diazepam; spasmolytics, such as, for examPle, bietamiver-
;ne and camylofin; anticholinergics, such as, forexample, pirenzepine, telenzepine, oxyphencyclimine and
phencarbam;de; local anesthetics, such as~ for example,
tetracaine and procaine; and if appropriate also gastr;n
antagonists, enzymes, vitamins or amino acids.
For the oral use form, the active compounds are mixed with
the additives customary for this, such as exçipients, stabi-
lizers or inert diluents, and are brought into suitabLe
presentation fotms, such as tablets, coated tablets~ push-
fit capsules, a~ueous, alcoholic or oily suspensions or

aqueous, alcoholic or oily solutions, by customary methods.
lnert excipients which can be used are, for example, gum
arabic, ~agnesia, Magnesium carbonate, lactose, ~ucose or
starch, in particular ~aize starch. The Nixtures can there-
by be formulated either as dry or as moist granules. Pos-
sible oily excipients or solvents are, for ex~mple, vegetable
and an;~al oils, such as sunflo~er oil or cod-liver oil.
For subcutaneous or intravenous administration, the active
coopounds or phys;ologically tolerated salts thereof are
dissolved, suspended or emulsified, if appropriate ~ith the
substances customary for this, such as solubilizing agents,
emulsifiers or other auxiliaries. Possible soLvents for the
novel active compounds and the corresponding physiolog;cally
tolerated salts are, for example: water, physiological
saLine solutions or alcohols, for example ethanol, propanol
or glycerol, and in add;tion also sugar solutions, such as
glucose solutions or ~annitol solutions, or also a mixture
of the various solvents nentioned.
The following examples are intended to illustrate the
