2,4-Diaminoquinazolines as Antithrombotic Agents

This invention is related to 2,4-diaminoquinazolines. More particularly, this invention is related to the use of 2,4-diaminoquinazolines as antithrombotic agents.

A thrombus generally is defined as a plug or clot in a blood vessel or in one of the cavities of the heart, with said plug or clot remaining at the point of formation. When a thrombus is either free-floating in the blood stream or has been removed by the blood stream to a new location, it is referred to as an embolus. These two entities are responsible for a variety of disorders which are generally termed thromboembolic diseases. Such diseases include phlebothrombosis, thrombophlebitis, pulmonary embolism, retinal thrombosis, myocardial infarction, and cerebral infarction, among others.

The chemoprophylactic or chemotherapeutic management of thromboembolic diseases generally involves compounds which fall into one of three categories: (1) platelet aggregation inhibitors, (2) anticoagulants, and (3) fibrinolytic agents. The chemotherapeutic use of fibrinolytic agents is based upon the fact that fibrin frequently forms the primary structural support of a clot. Dissolution of the fibrin should result in lysis of the clot with restoration of blood flow. Anti-coagulants and platelet aggregation inhibitors, on the other hand, generally are employed prophylactically. Anticoagulants are more effective in the treatment of venous thrombosis than arterial thrombosis because of slower blood flow on the venous side which permits coagulation factors, not platelets, to play an important role. While anticoagulants might not prevent the formation of a platelet-dominated thrombosis in the arterial circulation, they certainly can inhibit the stabilization and extension of that thrombosis. However, the successful prophylaxis of arterial thrombosis must deal with the etiologic role of the platelet. The value of platelet function inhibitors in venous thrombosis will be reflected by the extent to which platelets are involved in the formation of those thrombi. Certainly, within the circulatory system, there are regions of stasis in which fibrin formation would be virtually the sole participant in thrombosis, and other regions of high hemodynamic activity where the platelet nidus alone could block the vessel. Consequently, the search for new platelet aggregation inhibitors continues.

In accordance with the present invention, a method for inhibiting platelet aggregation is provided which comprises administering to a warm-blooded animal an effective and nontoxic amount of a 2,4-diaminoquinazoline having the following general formula: ##STR4## wherein R.sub.1 and R.sub.2 are monovalent groups independently selected from the group consisting of ##STR5## wherein R.sub.4 and R.sub.5 independently are selected from the group consisting of hydrogen, C.sub.1 -C.sub.6 alkyl, and cycloalkyl having fewer than about 12 carbon atoms, with the proviso that both R.sub.4 and R.sub.5 cannot be cycloalkyl, ##STR6## wherein R.sub.6, R.sub.7, and R.sub.8 independently are selected from the group consisting of hydrogen and C.sub.1 -C.sub.6 alkyl, and A is a divalent organic group having from two to about six carbon atoms such that the two nitrogen atoms are separated by at least two carbon atoms, and (c) heterocyclic-amino, and

R.sub.3 is a monovalent group selected from the group consisting of hydrogen, halogen, and C.sub.1 -C.sub.3 alkyl. As used herein, the term "heterocyclic-amino" is intended to mean a saturated nitrogen heterocyclic group which is attached to the quinazoline moiety by means of a hetero nitrogen atom, wherein said nitrogen heterocyclic group contains fewer than about three rings and up to about three hetero atoms, of which one must be nitrogen and any others present independently are selected from the group consisting of nitrogen and oxygen, and the total number of atoms present is no more than about 12.

In general, the 2,4-diaminoquinazolines are prepared by known methods, usually from 2,4-dichloroquinazoline; see, for example, Postovskii and Goncharova, Zh. Obshch. Khim., 32, 3323 (1962). 2,4-Dichloroquinazoline in turn is readily prepared from 2,4(1H,3H)-quinazolinedione, by the method of Curd, et al., J. Chem. Soc. , 1947, 775. The following reaction scheme illustrates preferred procedures employed in the preparation of the 2,4-diaminoquinazolines: ##STR7## Briefly, a 2,4(1H,3H)-quinazolinedione is refluxed with excess phosphorus oxychloride in the presence of N,N-dimethylaniline (or other suitable tertiary amine) to give the corresponding 2,4-dichloroquinazoline. If R.sub.1 and R.sub.2 are to be the same, the 2,4-dichloroquinazoline is treated with excess amine, preferably in a suitable solvent, such as tetrahydrofuran, and usually at an elevated temperature which normally is the reflux temperature of the solvent, to give the 2,4-diaminoquinazoline. If R.sub.1 and R.sub.2 are to be different, the 2,4-dichloroquinazoline is treated with one equivalent of amine, usually in a solvent and at room temperature, to give the corresponding 2-chloro-4-aminoquinazoline. The 2-chloro-4-aminoquinazoline then is treated with at least one equivalent of a second amine, again in a solvent and usually under elevated temperature, such as the reflux temperature of the solvent, to give the desired 2,4-diaminoquinazoline.

From the description of amines which follows, it should be obvious to one skilled in the art that the use in the above reaction scheme of amines having more than one nitrogen atom, each of which has at least one hydrogen atom, normally will result in a mixture of two or more isomers. Clearly, such a mixture must be purified in order to isolate the desired compound. Alternatively, appropriate blocking groups can be employed to eliminate or minimize unwanted isomers.

Examples of amines, i.e., compounds other than ammonia, which will give rise to R.sub.1 and R.sub.2 include, among others, methylamine, sec-butylamine, n-hexylamine, 2,3-dimethylbutylamine, diethylamine, ethyl-3,3-dimethylbutylamine, n-propylisopropylamine, 1,2-diaminoethane, 1,3-diaminopropane, 1,5-diaminopentane, 1,2-diaminopropane, 1-methylamino-2-amino ethane, 1-isohexylamino-3-amino- 2,3-dimethylbutane, 1-ethylamino-4-aminobutane, 1-amino-2-methylaminoethane, 1-amino-2-di-n-propylaminoethane, 1-amino-5-diisopropylaminopentane, 1-ethylamino-3-isopropylaminopropane, 2-(2,3-dimethylbutylamino)-4-isopropylmethylamino-3-methylpentane cyclopropylamine, cyclohexylamine, cyclooctylamine, cyclobutylethylamine, cyclopentyl-3-methyl-2-pentylamine, 1-decalylamine, 2-decalylisobutylamine, 7-norbornyl-n-hexylamine, 1-adamantylamine, azetidine, pyrrolidine, oxazolidine, isoxazolidine, pyrazolidine, imidazolidine, morpholine, hexahydropyrimidine, piperazine, 4-methylpiperazine, piperidine, hexahydro-1,3,6-oxadiazepine, octahydro-1,5-diazocine, 3,4-dimethylenepiperidine, 2-azabicyclo[2.2.0]octane, 1-oxa-7-azaspiro[4.4]-nonane, octahydroskatole, decahydroisoquinoline, decahydroquinoxaline, and the like.

It should be understood that the foregoing list is illustrative only and is not intended to be limiting in any manner.

As indicated hereinbefore, r.sub.3 is selected from the group consisting of hydrogen, halogen, and C.sub.1 -C.sub.3 alkyl. Preferably, R.sub.3 will be hydrogen, chlorine, or methyl, and most preferably will be in the 6-position.

From the foregoing, the 2,4-diaminoquinazolines useful in the method of the present invention clearly can have either identical or dissimilar substituents in the 2- and 4-positions. For example, the use of an excess of ammonia or one amine gives compounds having identical substituents in the 2- and 4-positions, such as 2,4-diaminoquinazoline, 2,4-diamino-6-methylquinazoline, 2,4-diamino-7-isopropylquinazoline, 2,4-bis-n-butylaminoquinazoline, 2,4-bis(dimethylamino)quinazoline, 2,4-bis(diethylamino)-5-fluoroquinazoline, 2,4-bis(3-amino-2-methylpropylamino)quinazoline, 2,4-bis(2-aminoethylmethylamino)-quinazoline, 2,4-bis(2-methylaminoethylamino)-6-ethylquinazoline, 2,4-bis(2-diethylaminoethylamino)-6-methylquinazoline, 2,4-bis[3-(3-ethylbutylamino)butylethylamino]quinazoline, 2,4-bis-(3-di-n-hexylaminopropyl-sec-butylamino)quinazoline, 2,4bis-(cyclopropylamino)-8-iodoquinazoline, 2,4-bis(3-methylcyclohexylisopropylamino)quinazoline, 2,4-bis(1-norbornylmethylamino)-7-bromoquinazoline, 2,4-bis(1-adamantylamino)quinazoline, 2,4-bis(1-decalylmethylamino)quinazoline, 2,4-bispyrrolidinylquinazoline, 2,4-bispyrrolidinyl-4-propylquinazoline, 2,4-bispiperidinoquinazoline, 2,4-bispiperidino-6-chloroquinazoline, 2,4-bispiperidino-5-isopropylquinazoline, 2,4-bismorpholinoquinazoline, 2,4-bismorpholino-8-ethylquinazoline, 2,4-bis-(7-azabicyclo[4.2.0]-7-octyl)-6-chloroquinazoline 2,4-bis-(1-oxa-7-azaspiro[4.4]-7-nonyl)-6-methylquinazoline, 2,4-bishexahydroindolinylquinazoline, 2,4-bisdecahydroisoquinolyl-7-iodoquinazoline, 2,4-bishexahydrobenzoxazolylquinoline, 2,4-bisdecahydropyrido[4,3-d]-pyrimidin-3-yl-6-chloroquinazoline, and the like, to name just a few.

On the other hand, the use of two different amines in a stepwise sequence gives 2,4-diaminoquinazolines having dissimilar substituents in the 2- and 4-positions. Examples of such compounds include, among others, 2-amino-4-cyclohexylaminoquinazoline, 2-cyclohexylamino-4-aminoquinazoline, 2-aminoethylamino-6-methylquinazolin e, 2-neohexylamino-4-amino-5-chloroquinazoline, 2-morpholino-4-(2-diethylaminoethylamino)-quinazoline, 2-(1-decalylmethylamino)-4-methylneohexylamino-8-ethylquinazoline, 2-(2-diethylaminoethylamino)-4-morpholino-7-isopropylquinazoline, 2-amino-4-(diisopropylamino)-6-chloroquinazoline, 2-(cyclopentyl-3-methyl-2-pentylamino-4-(1-oxa-7-azaspiro[4.4]non-7-yl)qui nazoline, 2-(2-azabicyclo-[2.2.0]oct-2-yl)-4-amino-7-iodoquinazoline, 2-n-butylamino-4-(3-decahydroquinazolinyl)quinazoline, 2-morpholino-4-aminoquinazoline, 2-amino-4-morpholinoquinazoline, 2-(4-methylpiperazinyl)-4-aminoquinazoline, 2-(2-aminoethylamino)-4-morpholine-6-propylquinazoline, 2-morpholino-4-(2-aminoethylamino) -7-fluoro quinazoline, 2-pyrrolidinyl-4-(2-diethylaminoethylamino)quinazoline, 2-morpholino-4-(2-diethylaminoethylamino)-quinazoline, 2-diethylamino-4-morpholino-6-bromoquinazoline, 2-methylisobutylamino-4-cyclohexylmethylaminoquinazoline, 2-(1-adamantylamino)-4-azetidinylquinazoline, and the like.

Referring to the general formula for the 2,4-diaminoquinazolines as defined hereinbefore, the preferred 2,4-diaminoquinazolines are those wherein R.sub.4 and R.sub.5 independently are selected from the group consisting of hydrogen, C.sub.1 -C.sub.3 alkyl, and cycloalkyl, with the proviso that when either R.sub.4 or R.sub.5 is hydrogen, the other remaining group cannot be C.sub.1 -C.sub.3 alkyl; R.sub.6, R.sub.7, and R.sub.8 independently are selected from the group consisting of hydrogen and C.sub.1 -C.sub.3 alkyl; A is a polymethylene group; heterocyclic-amino is a monocyclic group; and R.sub.3 is selected from the group consisting of hydrogen, chlorine, and methyl. Examples of such preferred compounds include, among others, 2,4-diaminoquinazoline, 2,4-diamino-6-methylquinazoline, 2,4-bis(dimethylamino)-7-chloroquinazoline, 2,4-diisopropylquinazoline, 2,4-bis(2-bis(2-diethylaminoethylmethyamino)quinazoline, 2,4-bis(cyclopropylamino)-8-methylquinazoline, 2,4-bis(3-methylcyclohexyl-n-propylamino)quinazoline, 2,4-bis(3-aminopropylamino)quinazoline, 2,4-bis(1-adamantylamino)quinazoline, 2,4-bismorpholinoquinazoline, 2,4-bispyrrolidinyl-6-methylquinazoline, 2-amino-4-cyclohexylaminoquinazoline, 2-cyclohexylamino-4-amino quinazoline, 2-aminoethylamino- 4-morpholino-5-chloroquinazoline, 2-morpholino-4-(methyl-2-diethylaminoethylamino quinazoline, 2-(2-diethylaminoethylamino)-4-piperazinyl-7-methylquinazoline, and the like.

In a similar manner, the most preferred 2,4-diaminoquinazolines are those wherein R.sub.4 and R.sub.5 both are either hydrogen or identical C.sub.1 -C.sub.3 alkyl groups or one of R.sub.4 and R.sub.5 is hydrogen and the remaining group is cycloalkyl; R.sub.6 is hydrogen; R.sub.7 and R.sub.8 both are identical C.sub.1 -C.sub.3 alkyl groups; A is a polymethylene group; heterocyclic-amino is a group which comprises either five-or six-membered heterocyclic rings containing one nitrogen atom, two nitrogen atoms, or one nitrogen atom and one oxygen atom; and R.sub.3 is located in the 6-position and is selected from the group consisting of hydrogen, chloro, and methyl. Examples of most preferred 2,4-diaminoquinazolines include, among others, 2,4-diamino-6-methylquinazoline, 2,4-bis(dimethylamino)quinazoline, 2-amino-4-(diisopropylamino)-6-chloroquinazoline, 2-morpholino-4-amino-quinazoline, 2-(4-methylpiperazinyl)-4-aminoquinazoline, 2,4-bis(2-diethylaminoethylamino)-6-methylquinazoline, 2-(2-aminoethylamino)-4-morpholinoquinazoline, 2-pyrrolidinyl-4-(2-diethylaminoethylamino)quinazoline, 2-morpholino-4-(2-diethylaminoethylamino)-quinazoline, 2-morpholino-4-diethylaminoquinazoline, 2,4-bispyrrolidinylquinazoline, 2,4-bispiperidinoquinazoline, 2,4-bispiperidino-6-chloroquinazoline, 2,4-bispiperidino-6-methylquinazoline, 2-morpholino-4-cyclohexylaminoquinazoline, 2-morpholino-4-(1-adamantylamino)quinazoline, 2,4-bismorpholinoquinazoline, 2,4-bismorpholino-6-chloroquinazoline, 2,4-bismorpholino-6-methylquinazoline, 2-morpholino-4-(4-methylpiperazinyl)quinazoline, 2-(4-methylpiperazinyl)-4-morpholinoquinazoline, and the like.

It should be understood that all of the foregoing listings of 2,4-diaminoquinazolines are illustrative only and are not intended to be limiting in any manner.

It also should be understood that such terms as "2,4-diaminoquinazolines" are meant to include physiologically-acceptable salts thereof. Physiologically-acceptable salts are those salts of 2,4-diaminoquinazolines formed from anions which do not as a whole increase the toxicities of the compounds toward warm-blooded animals. Otherwise, the identity of the salt-forming anion is not critical, although in some instances an anion may be chosen which imparts special characteristics to the salt, such as improved solubility, ease of crystallization, and the like. Examples of suitable anions include, among others, fluoride, chloride, bromide, iodide, phosphate, sulfate, p-toluenesulfonate, acetate, and the like.

As stated hereinbefore, the 2,4-diaminoquinazolines possess antithrombotic activity and consequently find utility in the prophylaxis of thromboembolic disease. The 2,4-diaminoquinazolines also can be used as platelet aggregation inhibitors in stored blood. For this latter use, the compounds are employed at levels of from about 1 to about 250 .mu.g/ml., and preferably at levels of from about 10 to about 100 .mu.g/ml.

In the prophylaxis of thromboembolic diseases, the 2,4-diaminoquinazolines can be administered to warm-blooded animals parenterally, preferably intravenously. The compounds normally will be administered at levels of from about 1 to about 250 .mu.g/ml., and preferably from about 1 to about 100 .mu.g/ml. However, the compounds can be administered at levels up to the toxic dose. On the average, these levels of administration are approximately equivalent to a general range from about 0.05 to about 20 mg/kg., with the preferred range being approximately equivalent to from about 0.05 to about 10 mg/kg. Following procedures well known to those skilled in the art, the 2,4-diaminoquinazolines normally will be formulated into pharmaceutical compositions comprising the active ingredient in association with at least one pharmaceutically-acceptable carrier therefor. Such compositions generally are prepared by incorporating a 2,4-diaminoquinazoline in a liquid solution or suspension, except that suspensions are not employed for intravenous administrations. In such compositions, a 2,4-diaminoquinazoline ordinarily will present in an amount of at least 0.0001 and not more than about 50 percent by weight, based on the total weight of the composition.

In addition to a 2,4-diaminoquinazoline, the composition will contain a liquid, non-toxic pharmaceutical carrier for said compound. The pharmaceutical carrier can be a sterile liquid, such as water and oils, including petroleum, animal, vegetable, and synthetic oils, examples of such oils being peanut oil, soy bean oil, mineral oil, cod liver oil, and the like. In general, water, saline, and aqueous dextrose (glucose) and related sugar solutions are the preferred liquid carriers. Such sterile injectionable solutions ordinarily contain from about 0.5 to about 25, and preferably from about 5 to about 25 percent by weight of a 2,4-diaminoquinazoline.

Suitable pharmaceutical carriers are described in E. W. Martin, et al., "Remington's Pharmaceutical Sciences," 14th. Ed., Mack Publishing Company, Easton, Pa., 1965.

The activities of the 2,4-diaminoquinazolines relative to parenteral administration were demonstrated by the procedure of Herrmann, et al., Proc. Soc. Exp. Biol. Med., 135, 100 (1970), and references cited therein. Said activities were demonstrated against both collagen-induced aggregation and ADP-induced aggregation and are summarized in Table 1.

In addition to parenteral administration, it has been demonstrated that at least some of the 2,4-diaminoquinazolines can be administered enterally, preferably orally. For enteral administration, a 2,4-diaminoquinazoline normally will be formulated into a pharmaceutical composition comprising the active ingredient in association with at least one pharmaceutically-acceptable carrier therefor. Such compositions normally will consist of the active ingredient mixed with the carrier, or diluted by a carrier, or enclosed or encapsulated by a carrier in the form of a capsule, cachet, or other container. The carrier may be a solid, semi-solid, or liquid material which serves as a vehicle, excipient, coating agent, or medium for the active ingredient. Some examples of carriers which may be used are lactose, dextrose, sucrose, sorbitol, mannitol, starch, gum acacia, calcium phosphate, liquid paraffin, cocoa butter, oil of theobroma, alginates, tragacanth, gelatin, methyl cellulose, polyoxyethylene sorbitan monolaurate, methyl or propyl hydroxybenzoate, ethyl cellulose acetate phthalate, low viscosity acetyl cellulose acetate, paraffin wax, mineral wax, vegetable wax, vegetable gum, silicone rubber such as liquid polydimethylsiloxane rubber, plasticized polyvinyl chloride, plasticized polyethylene terephthalate, modified collagen, cross-linked hydrophilic polyether gel, cross-linked polyvinyl alcohol or cross-linked partially hydrolyzed polyvinyl acetate.

For enteral administration, the 2,4-diaminoquinazolines normally will be administered at levels in the range of from about 1 to about I50 mg/kg. Advantageously the 2,4-diaminoquinazolines are formulated in a dosage unit form containing from about 5 to about 500 mg., preferably from about 10 to about 150 mg., of the active ingredient. Examples of suitable dosage unit forms are tablets, hard or soft gelatin capsules, micro-capsules, and suppositories, as well as drug-dispensing systems comprising the active ingredient contained in a flexible, imperforate polymeric material through which the drug may be released slowly by diffusion. More generally, the term "dosage unit form" as used herein means a physically-discrete unit containing the active ingredient, generally in admixture with and/or enclosed by a pharmaceutical carrier, the quantity of active ingredient being such that one or more units normally are required for a single therapeutic administration.

That some of the 2,4-diaminoquinazolines can be administered orally has been demonstrated by an in vivo-invitro test procedure. Briefly, the test procedure is as follows: blood samples are obtained from a guinea pig prior to the oral administration of the test compound. The test compound then is administered orally and blood samples withdrawn one hour and three hours after dosing. Each blood sample is treated as described in the in vitro test. The test requires one control group of six animals and six animals per compound per dose. For a more detailed description, see Herrmann, et al., Proc. Soc. Exp. Biol. Med., 139, 548 (1972). The results of the in vivo-in vitro test are summarized in table II:

The toxicities of the 2,4-diaminoquinazolines vary over a wide range. For example, the highest dose which can be administered interperitoneally to mice without producing any deaths within a five-day period ranges from about 10 mg/kg. to about 1000 mg/kg. and perhaps higher. However, the 2,4-diaminoquinazolines are active in the in vitro test described hereinbefore at levels of from about 1/3 to about 1/150 of said highest dose. Consequently, the 2,4-diaminoquinazolines can be used parenterally at levels substantially below the toxic levels.

The present invention is further described, but not limited, by the following examples which illustrate preferred procedures for the preparation of the 2,4-diaminoquinazolines. Unless otherwise stated, all temperatures are in degrees centigrade.

A mixture of 100 g of 2,4(1H,3H)-quinazolinedione, 300 ml of phosphorus oxychloride, and 45 ml of N,N-dimethylaniline was heated at reflux for 6 hours. The reaction mixture was cooled slightly and poured over ice. The resulting mixture, which consisted of about 6 liters, was divided between two four-liter separatory funnels and was extracted with a total of 6 liters of benzene. The benzene extracts were combined and washed successively with several volumes of water, 5 percent sodium bicarbonate solution, and then with water until the washes were neutral to litmus. The organic phases were combined, dried over anhydrous sodium sulfate, and filtered. The benzene was removed by distillation and the residue was crystallized from a solvent mixture consisting of 500 ml of benzene and 1,500 ml of hexane.
