Examples of suitable carboxylic acids are citric acid and tartaric acid. Examples of basic rVreceptor antagonists are cimetidine, sufotidine famotidine and nizatidine. The salts ares useful in the treatment of gastrointestinal disorders, particularly gastroduodenal conditions. The salts show the antisecretory activity associated with the basic H2-receptor antagonist together with antibacterial activity against Campylobacter pylori and they also possess cytoprotective properties. 00 (0 a. LU Xerox Copy Centre EP 0 367 484 A1 CARBOXYLIC ACID DERIVATIVES This invention relates to salts of compounds having antagonist activity at histamine H2- receptors, to a process for the preparation thereof, to pharmaceutical compositions containing them and to their use in therapeutics. More particularly the invention is concerned with salts of histamine H2- receptor antagonists formed with bismuth complexes of carboxylic acids. 5 Compounds which have antagonist activity at histamine H2-receptors are used in the treatment of conditions where there is an advantage in lowering gastric acidity. Such conditions include duodenal and gastric ulceration, reflux oesophagitis and Zollinger-Ellison syndrome. H2- receptor antagonists may also be used prophylactically in surgical procedures, and in the treatment of allergic and inflammatory conditions where histamine is a known mediator. 10 Bismuth salts and preparations, such as bismuth citrate, bismuth and ammonium citrate, sodium bismuthyl tartrate, acid bismuth sodium tartrate, acid solution of bismuth, concentrated solution of bismuth, and solution of bismuth and ammonium citrate, which are described in for example the British Pharmaceuti- cal Codex (1949), have long been used as antacids in the treatment of hyperacidity and dyspepsia. In addition, before the advent of histamine H2-antagonists, by which they have now essentially been 75 superceded, such bismuth preparations were also used in the treatment of gastrointestinal ulcers. In recent years evidence has emerged that Campylobacter pylori is associated with histological gastritis, non-ulcer dyspepsia and hypochlorhydria, and may be involved in the pathogenesis of gastric and duodenal ulcer disease. Campylobacter pylori is susceptible to bismuth compounds such as bismuth subcitrate (in the form of, zo for example, tripotassium dicitrato bismuthate) and bismuth subsalicylate. According to published European Patent Specification No. 282132, a bismuth-containing agent, prefer- ably a campylobacter - inhibiting bismuth-containing agent such as bismuth subsalicylate or bismuth subcitrate, may be co-administered with a h^-receptor antagonist, preferably cimetidine or ranitidine, for the treatment of gastrointestinal disorders. The two active ingredients may be given as separate preparations 25 which may be administered concurrently or non-concurrently, or may be contained in a single composition. - A number of the bismuth compounds described previously as antacids and/or agents for the inhibition of Campylobacter pylori are acidic complexes formed between bismuth and a carboxylic acid such as citric or tartaric acid or salts thereof with ammonia or an alkali metal. It has now been found that basic H2- receptor antagonists will form salts with such complexes, and the 30 resulting products possess a useful and advantageous profile of activity. The present invention thus provides novel salts formed between a basic H2- receptor antagonist and a complex of bismuth with a carboxylic acid, and solvates of such salts. Suitable carboxylic acids are those which are capable of forming a complex with bismuth, and which complexes are, in turn, capable of forming a salt with the basic (-^-antagonist. Salts in which the H2- receptor antagonist is ranitidine are however 35 excluded from the scope of the invention. Carboxylic acids which are capable of forming complexes with bismuth to give bismuth-carboxylic acid complexes for use according to the invention may be, for example, carboxylic acids which contain at least three functional groups in addition to the carboxyl group which is available for salt formation with the H2- receptor antagonist. Of the three or more remaining functional groups, three, which may be for example 40 carboxyl and/or hydroxy groups, should be capable of complexing with trivalent bismuth, to give a trivalent bismuth complex. In instances where the carboxylic acid can exhibit optical and/or geometric isomerism, the invention is intended to include all optical isomers including racemates, and/or geometric isomers. Solvates, including hydrates, are also included within the scope of the invention. 45 Examples of suitable carboxylic acids which are capable of forming complexes with bismuth for use according to the invention are citric, tartaric and ethylenediaminetetraacetic acids. Further examples of suitable carboxylic acids are propylcitric and agaricic acids. Tartaric acid and citric acid are preferred. Suitable basic histamine H2-receptor antagonists for salt formation with bismuth-carboxylic acid com- plexes according to the invention include imidazole derivatives; substituted aminoalkylbenzene, furan and 50 thiazole derivatives (e.g. dimethylaminomethyl-furanyl-methylthioethylamino compounds, piperidinomethyl- phenoxypropylamino compounds and dimethylaminomethylthiazolyl-methylthioethylamino compounds); guanidinothiazolyl derivatives including guanidinothiazolylmethylthioethyl and guanidinothiazolylmethyl- thioethylamino compounds; and guanidinopyrazolyl derivatives. Examples of particular basic histamine H2- receptor antagonists are cimetidine, sufotidine, famotidine, roxatidine, niperotidine, nizatidine, mifentidine, zaltidine, ebrotidine, bisfentidine, 1-methyl-5-[[3-[3-(1-piperidinylmethyl)phenoxy]propyl]amino]-1 H-1 ,2,4- EP 0 367 484 A1 triazole-3-methanol, 3-amino-4-[[3-[3-(1-piperidinylmethyl)phenoxy]propyl]amino]-3-cyclobutene-1,2-dione (BMY 25368), and 5-[3-[2-(2,2,2-trifluoroethyl)guanidino]pyrazol-1-yl]valeramide. Cimetidine and sufotidine represent preferred basic rVreceptor antagonists for use according to the invention. Another preferred basic H^-receptor antagonist for use according to the invention is famotidine. A 5 further preferred basic ^-receptor antagonist for use according to the invention is nizatidine. Preferred salts according to the invention are N-cyano-N'-methyl-N"-[2-[[(5-methyl-1H-imidazol-4-yl)- methyl]thio]ethyl]guanidine 2-hydroxy-1,2,3-propanetricarboxylate bismuth (3*) complex (also known as cimetidine bismuth citrate), N-cyano-N'-methyl-N"-[2-[[(5-methyl-1 H-imidazol-4-yl)methyl]thio]ethyl]- guanidine [R-(R"R")]-2,3-dihydroxybutanedioate bismuth (3*) complex (also known as cimetidine bismuth w tartrate), and 1 -methyl-3-methylsulphonylmethyl-N-[3-[3-(1 -piperidinylmethyl)phenoxy]propyl]-1 H-1 ,2,4- triazole-5-amine 2-hydroxy-1,2,3-propanetricarboxylate bismuth (3+) complex (also known as sufotidine bismuth citrate), of which cimetidine bismuth citrate is particularly preferred. Another preferred salt according to the invention is 3-[[[2-[(aminoiminomethyl)amino]-4-thiazolyl]methyl]- thio]-N-(aminosulphonyl)propanimidamide 2-hydroxy-1,2,3-propanetricarboxylate bismuth (3*) complex (also is known as famotidine bismuth citrate). A further preferred salt according to the invetion is N-[2-[[[2-[(dimethylamino)methyl]-4-thiazoJy]methyl]- thio]ethyl]-N'-methyl-2-nitro-1,1-ethenediamine 2-hydroxy-1,2,3-propanetricarboxylate bismuth (3 ) complex (also known as nizatidine bismuth citrate). The salts according to the invention possess a particularly advantageous combination of properties for 20 the treatment of gastrointestinal disorders, especially peptic ulcer disease and other gastroduodenal conditions, for example gastritis and non-ulcer dyspepsia. Salts according to the invention thus possess the H2-antagonist antisecretory properties associated with the H2-receptor antagonist, together with antibacterial activity against Campylobacter pylori. In addition, salts of the invention possess cytoprotective properties. They also display activity against the human gastric 25 pepsins, with preferential inhibition of pepsin 1 , a pepsin isozyme associate with peptic ulcer. The antisecretory activity of compounds according to the invention may be demonstrated in vivo against histamine - induced gastric acid secretion in the Heidenhain pouch dog. The antibacterial activity of the salts against Campylobacter pylori and their ability to inhibit human pepsins have been demonstrated iri vitro. Cytoprotective
