X.sub.1 and X.sub.2 are hydrogen or together form a double bond,
6-N-oxides thereof, and non-toxic, pharmacologically acceptable acid addition salts thereof.
The compounds of the formula I above and their 6-N-oxides may be prepared by the following methods:
Method A
For the preparation of a compound of the formula I wherein R.sub.2 is hydrogen or alkyl of 1 to 3 carbon atoms, by reacting an azepine of the formula ##SPC3##
wherein
R.sub.1 has the same meanings as in formula I,
R'.sub.2 is hydrogen or alkyl of 1 to 3 carbon atoms,
E and D are each alkoxy of 1 to 4 carbon atoms,
Y.sub.1 is hydrogen or, together with D, forms a double bond,
Y.sub.2 is hydrogen or, together with D, forms a double bond, or
E and D together are oxygen,
with an aniline derivative of the formula ##SPC4##
wherein
R.sub.4, r.sub.5 and R.sub.6 have the same meanings as in formula I, and
Z is cyano or R.sub.3 '-- CO --,
where
R.sub.3 ' is mono- or di-substituted amino or has the meanings defined for R.sub.3 in formula I,
under dehydrating conditions, optionally followed by separation of the mixture of isomers thus obtained into its isomeric components.
The reaction is performed with the reactants in the molten state or in the presence of a solvent medium, such as water, benzene or toluene, and advantageously in the presence of a dehydrating agent, such as sodium hydroxide, hydrochloric acid, sulfuric acid, phosphoric acid, phosphorus oxychloride, polyphosphoric acid or p-toluenesulfonic acid, at a temperature between 0.degree. and 200.degree. C. The dehydrating agent may, however, simultaneously serve as the solvent medium. Alternatively, the water formed by the reaction may be continuously removed from the reaction mixture by azeotropic distillation.
When R.sub.1 in formula II is inorganic or organic acyl, the reaction is preferably performed in the presence of an acid condensation agent and in a non-aqueous solvent medium.
When R.sub.3 ' in formula III is hydroxyl and the reaction is performed in the presence of a phosphorus oxyhalide, a mixture of isomers of the formula I wherein R.sub.3 is halogen is obtained; and when the reaction is carried out in the presence of polyphosphoric acid, a mixture of isomers of the formula I wherein R.sub.3 is hydroxyl is obtained.
The mixture of isomers formed under those conditions, which consists of the compounds of the formulas ##SPC5##
wherein R.sub.1 through R.sub.6 have the meanings defined above, may subsequently, if desired, be separated into its isomeric components by column chromatography of the bases; or by extraction of the bases or salts, such as the monohydrochlorides or dihydrochlorides; or by fractional crystallization of the bases or salts.
Method B
For the preparation of a compound of the formula I wherein R.sub.2 is hydroxyl, acyloxy or alkoxycarbonyloxy, by rearrangement of a compound of the formula ##SPC6##
wherein R.sub.3 , R.sub.4, R.sub.5, R.sub.6 and A have the same meanings as in formula I, in the presence of a reactive derivative of an acid, optionally followed by removal of the acyl or carbonic acid ester substituent.
The rearrangement reaction is optionally performed in a solvent medium, such as benzene, dioxane or tetrahydrofuran, in the presence of a reactive derivative of an acid, such as acetic acid anhydride, acetyl chloride, propionic acid anhydride or ethyl chloroformate, and optionally in the presence of a base, such as pyridine or triethylamine, at a temperature between 0 and 100.degree. C. The reaction may, however, also be performed without a solvent medium. The subsequent removal of an acyl or carbonic acid ester substituent is advantageously effected by hydrolysis in the presence of a base or an acid.
If method A or B yields a compound of the formula I wherein one of substituents R.sub.1 through R.sub.6 is acyl, chlorine, bromine, methoxy, methylenedioxy, phenoxy, cyano and/or carbalkoxy, that compound may be converted by hydrolysis or ether cleavage into the corresponding compound of the formula I wherein at least one of substituents R.sub.1 through R.sub.6 is hydrogen, hydroxyl and/or carboxyl.
If a compound of the formula I wherein R.sub.3 is carboxyl is obtained, it may be converted by means of a chloroformate into a mixed anhydride.
If a compound of the formula I wherein R.sub.1 is aralkyl is obtained, it may be converted by catalytic hydrogenation into the corresponding compound of the formula I wherein R.sub.1 is hydrogen.
If a compound of the formula I is obtained wherein at least one of substituents R.sub.1 through R.sub.6 comprises a reactive hydrogen, that compound can be alkylated, acylated and/or vinylated pursuant to known methods.
If method A or B yields a compound of the formula I wherein R.sub.1 is alkyl or aralkyl, it may be converted by reaction with a chloroformate into a compound of the formula I wherein R.sub.1 is alkoxycarbonyl, cycloalkoxycarbonyl or phenoxycarbonyl.
If a compound of the formula I is obtained wherein R.sub.1 is acyl and/or R.sub.3 is carboxyl, it can be converted by reduction, such as with lithium aluminum hydride, into the corresponding compound of the formula I wherein R.sub.1 is alkyl and/or R.sub.3 is hydroxymethyl.
If the reaction product is a compound of the formula I wherein R.sub.4, R.sub.5 and/or R.sub.6 is hydrogen, that compound can be halogenated or nitrated by conventional methods, and the mixture of isomeric nitro-compounds may subsequently be separated into its isomer components.
If a compound of the formula I wherein R.sub.4, R.sub.5 and/or R.sub.6 is nitro, it may be converted by reduction into the corresponding amino-substituted compound which, in turn, may be converted by way of its diazonium salt into a compound of the formula I wherein R.sub.4, R.sub.5 and/or R.sub.6 is halogen, cyano or hydroxyl.
If a compound of the formula I wherein R.sub.4, R.sub.5 and/or R.sub.6 is cyano is obtained, that compound can be converted with a Grignard-reagent and subsequent hydrolysis into the corresponding carbonyl-substituted compound.
If the end product of method A or B is a compound of the formula I wherein at least one of substituents R.sub.2 through R.sub.6 is hydroxyl, that compound can be converted by conventional methods into the corresponding halo-substituted compound which, in turn, may be converted in conventional manner into the corresponding amino- or alkoxy-substituted compound or the corresponding 3,4 - or 4,5 -unsaturated compound.
If a compound of the formula I wherein R.sub.1 is inorganic or organic acyl or carbalkoxy is obtained, it can be converted by means of an oxidizing agent, such as hydrogen peroxide or perbenzoic acid, into the corresponding 6-N-oxide, and if R.sub.2 in such a 6-N-oxide is other than hydrogen and R.sub.3 is methyl, that compound can be converted into the corresponding compound of the formula I wherein R.sub.3 is hydroxymethyl.
The acylation of a compound of the formula I in which at least one of the substituents R.sub.1 through R.sub.6 contains a reactive hydrogen is advantageously effected with a reactive derivative of an acid, such as an acid anhydride or halide, or with the corresponding free acid, in the presence of a dehydrating agent, such as thionyl chloride or N,N'-dicyclohexyl-carbodiimide, preferably in a solvent medium, such as water, ethanol, benzene, dioxane, chloroform or dimethylformamide, and optionally in the presence of a base, such as triethylamine, pyridine or sodium carbonate, at a temperature between 0.degree. and 100.degree. C.
The reaction of a compound of the formula I wherein R.sub.1 is alkyl or aralkyl with a chloroformate is advantageously performed in a solvent medium, such as methylene chloride, chloroform, ethylene chloride or tetrachloroethylene, at temperatures between 0 and 120.degree. C.
The reduction of a compound of the formula I wherein R.sub.1 is acyl and/or R.sub.3 is carboxyl is preferably effected with a complex metal hydride, such as lithium aluminum hydride, in a solvent medium, such as ether, ether/dioxane or tetrahydrofuran, at a temperature between 0.degree. and 70.degree. C., but preferably at the boiling point of the particular solvent which is used.
Finally, the conversion of a 6-N-oxide of the formula I wherein R.sub.2 is other than hydrogen and R.sub.3 is methyl into a corresponding compound in which R.sub.3 is hydroxymethyl, is advantageously performed in a solvent medium, such as benzene, dioxane or tetrahydrofuran, in the presence of a reactive derivative of an acid, such as acetic acid anhydride, acetyl chloride, propionic acid anhydride or a chloroformate, at a temperature between 0.degree. and 100.degree. C. The reaction may, however, also be performed without a solvent. The acyl group of the acyloxy-substituted compounds obtained thereby may, if desired, be removed by hydrolysis in the presence of a base or an acid.
The compounds embraced by formula I are organic bases and therefore form acid addition salts with inorganic or organic acids. Examples of non-toxic, pharmacologically acceptable acid addition salts are those formed with hydrochloric acid, sulfuric acid, phosphoric acid, lactic acid, citric acid, tartaric acid, maleic acid, 8-chlorotheophylline or the like.
Most of the starting compounds of the formula II are described in the literature [A. K. Yokoo et al, Bull. Chem. Soc. Japan 29, 631 (1959)]; however, those which are not specifically described may be obtained by means of the Dieckmann-Condensation (Organic Reactions 15, 1-203) from N-substituted 4-[(.beta.-ethoxycarbonyl-ethyl) -amino]-butyric acid ethyl esters, preferably using potassium tert.butylate as the condensation agent, and subsequent hydrolysis and decarboxylation of the intermediate 1-substituted hexahydro-4H-azepinone-(4)-3- and -5-carboxylic ethyl ester isomer mixture in the presence of an acid. The N-acyl-hexahydroazepinone-(4) derivatives are obtained by acylation of hexahydroazepinone-(4).
A 4-alkoxy-azepine of the formula II is obtained by reacting a correspondingly substituted azepinone-(4) with an alkyl orthoformate, and subsequently splitting off alkanol from the intermediate 4,4-dialkoxy-azepine of the formula II (see Belgian Pat. No. 771,330).
The starting compounds of the formula III are either described in the literature (see, for example, J. C. E. Simson et al, J. Chem. Soc. 1945, 646-657) or may be prepared by analogous methods.
The starting compounds of the formula IV may be obtained by oxidizing a corresponding quinoline derivative wherein R.sub.1 is acyl with hydrogen peroxide, for example; or by alkylating or acylating a corresponding N-oxide wherein R.sub.1 is hydrogen which, in turn, may be obtained by hydrolizing a corresponding acyl-N-oxide.

The compounds of the present invention, that is, those embraced by formula I, their 6-N-oxides, and non-toxic, pharmacologically acceptable acid addition salt thereof, have useful pharmacodynamic properties; more particularly, they exhibit primarily anorectic activities in warm-blooded animals, such as rats, as well as hypolipidemic, hypoglycemic, antidepressant, antiallergic and antiasthmatic activities.

1. Effect on Intake of Food and Motility
Test animals:
Male albino rats with starting weights from 200 to 250 gm, kept in so-called makrolon-cages, three to a cage, in an air-conditioned room at a temperature of 22 .+-. 1.degree. C and about 50 % relative humidity. Between test runs, food (standard feed Altromin R) and drinking water were freely accessible.
Test equipment:
A combination metabolism and motility test cage, described by J. M. van ROSSUM and F. SIMONS (Psychopharmacologia 14, 248, 1969) was used. With the aid of this device it is possible to measure the food intake and motoric activity on the same test animal.
Anorectic test:
For effecting and evaluating this test, a modified version of the method of J. SPENGLER and P. WASER [Arch. exp. Path. Pharmcol. 237, 171 (1959)] was used. A test group consisting of 6 ats was used for the test over a 3months' period, once a week, always on the same day of the week and at the same time of day. In preparation for the test, the animals were fasted for 24 hours while they had free access to drinking water. Then, they were put singly into the above-mentioned test cage for 2 hours, where a preweighed quantity of feed (Altromin-R, pulverized) and drinking water was offered ad libitum. Scattered feed was collected carefully, the consumed quantity of feed was determined by weighing the remaining quantity, and the food intake was calculated in terms of grams per 100 gm body weight. the test compound was injected subcutaneously or administered orally by esophageal sound at the beginning of the test period. Control tests showed that the variations of food consumption within a group on various days were lower than that between the various groups on the same day. Therefore, each group served as its own control. In the control tests the rats were given at the beginning of the 2 hour test period, 0.1 ml/100 gm water orally or 0.1 ml/100 gm physiological NaCl-solution subcutaneously. Before the test runs, 3 to 4 control tests were made and repeated later at intervals of 5 weeks. The average amount of the food intake which the animals had shown in the control tests was taken as the reference value. The anorectic activity of the test compound was expressed in terms of the percentage reduction of this reference value, and the median anorectic dose (ED.sub.50), i.e. the dose which reduced the food intake by 50% over the reference value was graphically calculated.
Motility test:
The above-mentioned test cages were equipped with 3 light beams and corresponding photoelectric cells. When the test animal moved about the cage, the light beams were interrupted, and the electric impulses generated thereby were registered by means of electronic counting devices.
The effect on motility was determined simultaneously with the above-described anorectic test and was evaluated in the same way. The control reference value was taken to be the average number of impulses registered over a period of 2 hours, during the control tests. The effect of the test compound was expressed in terms of percentage increase or decrease in the number of impulses produced by the treated animals over the control reference value, and the change in motility at the median anorectic dosage level was again graphically calculated.
The following table shows the results obtained from these tests.
2. Acute Toxicity:
Groups of 10 male mice of the NMRI-strain with body weights between 18 and 30 gm. The animals were put individually into cylindrical jars and received by subcutaneous injection under the dorsal skin gradually increasing doses from 0.1 to 0.2 ml/10 gm of body weight of the test compound. The limits for the test dosage range had previously been determined on individual mice. The symptoms of poisoning were recorded. After an observation period of 24 hours the dead animals were counted. The determination of the median lethal dose (LD.sub.50) according to G. KARBER [Arch. exper. Path. Pharmak. 162, 480, (1931)] concluded the test.
The following table shows the toxicity data obtained from this test and also the therapeutic ratio in relation to the anorectic ED.sub.50.
For pharmaceutical purposes the compounds according to the present invention are administered to warm-blooded animals perorally, parenterally or rectally as active ingredients in customary dosage unit compositions, that is, compositions in dosage unit form consisting essentially of an inert pharmaceutical carrier and one effective dosage unit of the active ingredient, such as tablets, coated pills, capsules, wafers, powders, solutions, suspensions, emulsions, syrups, suppositories and the like. One effective anorectic dosage unit of the compounds according to the present invention is from 0.016 to 0.34 mgm/kg body weight, preferably from 0.016 to 0.084 mgm/kg body weight.
The following examples illustrate a few pharmaceutical dosage unit compositions comprising a compound of the present invention as an active ingredient and represent the best modes contemplated of putting the invention into practical use. The parts are parts by weight unless otherwise specified.
