Description
BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION
The present invention is concerned with certain heterocyclic organic compounds which can be referred to as substituted piperidines and acid addition salts thereof. In particular, this invention relates to physiologically active novel piperidine compounds which are particularly effective as antiarrhythmic and antiserotonin agents. It is also concerned with chemical intermediates useful in the preparation of the piperidine compounds. Other features of the invention are pharmaceutical compositions containing the piperidines as active ingredients and a therapeutic process for producing antiserotonin and antiarrhythmic effects in mammals by administration of them.
Agents which antagonize serotonin are of interest in experimental biology and in treatment of various physiological disorders such as migraine headache, serotonin producing tumors, toxemia in pregnancy, habitual abortion and management of various inflammatory and allergic reactions. Methysergide and lysergide are well known antiserotonin agents. Other serotonin antagonists which have been reported in the prior art literature on the subject are 2'-(3-dimethylaminopropylthio)cinnamanilide and related compounds disclosed by Krapcho, et al., J. Med. Chem., 6, 219 (1963); 7, 376 (1964); 9, 809, (1966); and 12, 164 (1969); and U.S. Patent 3,192,213.
A number of structurally unrelated chemical substances have been employed in the treatment of cardiac arrhythmia; refer to A. Burger, Medicinal Chemistry, 3rd Edition, pages 1082-1085 (Wiley). One of the most important drugs in clinical treatment of disorders of cardiac rhythm is quinidine. Another chemical agent which has been used as an antiarrhythmic is the local anesthetic procaine amide. Still other antiarrhythmic agents are lidocaine, and diphenylhydantoin. None of these compounds are structurally related to the piperidines of the present invention.
SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION
This invention relates to a series of substituted piperidines characterized by Formula I and Formula XII and non-toxic pharmaceutically acceptable acid addition salts thereof. ##STR1## The substances of Formula I and Formula XII are new compositions of matter possessing valuable pharmacological properties which render them useful as synthetic medicinals. In particular, the substituted piperidines of Formula I and Formula XII exhibit utility as antiserotonin and/or antiarrhythmic agents in standard pharmacological tests in mammals. This invention also is concerned with the production of the compounds of Formulas I and XII from novel chemical intermediates, pharmaceutical compositions containing them and a therapeutic process for producing an antiserotonin effect in mammals comprising the administration of such compounds thereto. Another feature of this invention is a therapeutic process for producing an antiarrhythmic effect in mammals by administration of compounds of Formula I wherein R.sup.5 is R.sup.6 substituted cinnamoyl as depicted by Formula Ia or R.sup.7 substituted benzoyl as depicted by Formula Ib.
Still another feature of this invention provides novel o-aminophenethylpiperidines of Formula II which are useful as chemical intermediates in the production of compounds of Formula I. ##STR2##
In the compounds characterized by the above general Formulas I and II, the R.sup.1 substituent stands for hydrogen or lower alkyl. The substituent R.sup.2 represents hydrogen, lower alkoxy or methylenedioxy attached in the benzenoid 4,5-position. R.sup.3 stands for hydrogen or a lower alkyl substituent. Substituent R.sup.4 represents hydrogen, lower alkyl, or a dialkylcarboxamido substituent wherein the dialkyl groups are lower alkyl.
Substituent R.sup.5 represents radicals selected from the group comprised of lower alkanoyl of from 1 to 4 carbon atoms inclusive, lower alkanesulfonyl of from 1 to 4 carbon atoms inclusive, ##STR3##
The symbol R.sup.6 represents hydrogen or lower alkyl and R.sup.7 is selected from the group consisting of hydrogen, halogen, trifluoromethyl, amino, dimethylamino, hydroxy, acetoxy, carboxy, alkylthio of from 1 to 4 carbon atoms inclusive, alkyl of from 1 to 4 carbon atoms inclusive, lower alkoxy of from 1 to 4 carbon atoms inclusive, and wherein when R.sup.7 is hydrogen or alkoxy the phenyl ring can have up to 2 additional alkoxy substituents of from 1 to 4 carbon atoms inclusive.
In the compounds characterized by Formula XII, the symbol R.sup.8 represents hydrogen or lower alkyl. The symbol R.sup.9 represents a radical selected from the group consisting of cinnamoyl or ##STR4## wherein R.sup.10 is lower alkoxy. The symbol "A" represents a divalent radical selected from the group consisting of
It is to be understood that the term "lower alkyl" and "lower alkoxy" as used herein refers to carbon chains which include both straight and branched chain carbon radicals of from 1 to 4 carbon atoms inclusive. Illustrative of these radicals are carbon chains which can be methyl, ethyl, propyl, isopropyl, 1-butyl, 1-methylpropyl, 2-methylpropyl and tert.-butyl.
Compounds which are particularly preferred for their strong antiserotonin activity are compounds of Formula Ia. ##STR5## wherein R.sup.1, R.sup.2, R.sup.3, R.sup.4 and R.sup.6 have the meanings hereinabove given for Formula I. Representative of these compounds is the individually preferred compound 2'-[2-(1-methyl-2-piperidyl)ethyl]cinnamanilide.
Compounds of the present invention which are particularly preferred for their strong antiarrhythmic activity are those of Formula Ib. ##STR6## wherein R.sup.1, R.sup.2, R.sup.3, R.sup.4, and R.sup.7 have the meanings hereinabove given for Formula I. Representative of these compounds are the individually preferred compounds 4-methoxy-2'-[2-(1-methyl-2-piperidyl)ethyl]benzanilide, and 2'-[2-(1-methyl-2-piperidyl)ethyl]-3,4,5-trimethoxybenzanilide.
A still further group of preferred compounds are those characterized by Formula Ib wherein R.sup.1, R.sup.2, and R.sup.4 are hydrogen, R.sup.3 is methyl and R.sup.7 is hydrogen or alkoxy.
A particularly preferred antiarrhythmic compound of Formula XII is 2'-[3-(1-methyl-2-piperidyl)propyl]-p-anisanilide.
The o-aminophenethylpiperidines of Formula II are considered to be another aspect of the present invention. They are particularly useful as chemical intermediates in the preparation of compounds of Formula I. Apart from being particularly suitable as key intermediates in the preparation of compounds of Formula I, some of the members such as 2-(o-aminophenethyl)-1-methylpiperidine have antiarrhythmic properties.
A compound of Formula XII particularly preferred as an antiarrhytmic agent is 2-[2-[(p-methoxybenzyl)amino]phenethyl]-1-methylpiperidine and non-toxic pharmaceutically acceptable salts thereof.
It will be apparent to those skilled in the art that the compounds of Formula I, Formula II and Formula XII exists in at least one racemic stereoisomeric form since they contain one asymmetric carbon atom (the 2 position of the piperidine ring). Whenever the R.sup.4 substituent is not hydrogen, an additional asymmetric carbon atom (the 5 position of the piperidine ring) is present and two racemic modifications exist. Such mixture of racemates can be separated into the individual racemic compounds on the basis of physico-chemical differences such as solubility; for example, by fractional crystallization of the basis or as acid addition salts thereof or by chromatography. Optically active stereoisomers are obtained by resolution methods well known to the art such as the use of optically active acids.
It is to be understood that as used herein, the term "non-toxic pharmaceutically acceptable acid addition salts" refers to a combination of compounds of the present invention with relatively non-toxic inorganic or organic acids. Illustrative of suitable acids which may be used are sulfuric, phosphoric, hydrochloric, hydrobromic, hydroiodic, sulfamic, methanesulfonic, benzenesulfonic, para-toluenesulfonic, acetic, lactic, succinic, maleic, mucic, tartaric, citric, gluconic, benzoic, cinnamic, isethionic and related acids.
The compounds characterized by Formula I and Formula XII exhibit valuable antiarrhythmic activity in mammals. These antiarrhytmic effects are illustratively demonstrated in standard in vitro and in vivo pharmacological tests.
In the dog, for example, electrically or aconitine induced arrhythmia is prevented by oral or parenteral administration of the piperidines of Formula I according to the following in vivo test.
The chest of an anesthetized dog is opened in the midline and the right and left atrial appendages exposed through small slits in the pericardium. Bypolar recording electrodes are affixed to the atrial surfaces and a 4 .times. 4 mm. piece of clean cloth is fixed to the surface of the right auricular appendage. Control recordings are made of various heart functions including femoral arterial blood pressure and right and left atrial electrograms. Atrial arrhythmia is then induced by placing 3-5 drops of a solution of aconitine on the cloth which is fixed to the right atrium. An irregular, rapid atrial rate is produced within one minute. Throughout the experiment, fresh aconitine is (2-3 drops) placed on the cloth at 10 minute intervals. The test compound is administered intravenously five minutes after the initial establishment of the arrhythmia and infusion continued at a slow rate until an effective does which re-establishes normal rhythm of the heart is obtained.
Intravenous administration of as little as 0.8 mg./kg. of 4-methoxy-2'-[2-(1-methyl-2-piperidyl)ethyl]benzanilide, a preferred compound of the present invention, effectively restores normal cardiac rhythm to aconitine induced arrhythmia in the dog. A well known antiarrhythmia agent such as quinidine administered in the same manner has an effective dose of 6.0 mg./kg. When arrhythmia is induced electrically, the effective dose of 4-methoxy-2'-[2-(1-methyl-2-piperidyl)-ethyl]benzanilide is 1.9 mg./kg. Under like conditions, the effective dose for quinidine is 14 mg./kg.
Intraduodenal administration, which is a measure of oral effectiveness, of 4-methoxy-2'-[2-(1-methyl-2-piperidyl)ethyl]benzanilide prevents aconitine induced arrhythmia in the dog at a dose of less than 10 mg./kg. while the effective dose in the prevention of aconitine induced arrhythmia of quinidine is greater than 14 mg./kg.
Another in vivo test involves the inhibition of chloroform induced arrhythmia in the mouse according to the method of J. W. Lawson, J. Pharmacol. Exp. Therap., 160, 22 (1968). Intraperitoneal administration of 4-methoxy-2'-[2-(1-methyl-2-piperidyl)ethyl]benzanilide to the mouse prevents chloroform induced arrhythmia at an ED.sub.50 of 7.1 mg./kg. compared to an Ed.sub.50 of 83 for quinidine.
An in vitro test which demonstrates the antiarrhythmic effects of the compounds of the present invention employs the rabbit atrium. In this test, the left atrium is placed in Chenoweth's solution warmed to 30.degree. C. and irrigated with 95% oxygen: 5% carbon dioxide. The lower end of the atrium is attached to a small hook fixed in the bath and the upper end is connected to a transducer to record contractile activity. The atrium is electrically stimulated at a basic rate of 30 per minute employing square wave pulses of 10 millisecond duraction at 1.2-1.5 .times. threshold voltage. A test compound is introduced into the bath and the test repeated after a 5 minute interval. A dose-response relationship is obtained by additional doses of the test compound. The potency of a test agent can be expressed as the effective concentration which produces 50% of the maximal increase in the measured refractory period of the steady state atrium. This value is designated the EC.sub.50.
In the in vitro rabbit atrium test, the EC.sub.50 of 4-methoxy-2'-[2-(1-methyl-2-piperidyl)ethyl]benzanilide is 2.4 microgram per milliliter while the value for quinidine is 18.0 microgram per milliliter.
Exemplary of compounds of the present invention which have particularly good antiarrhythmic properties are:
2'-[2-(1-methyl-2-piperidyl)ethyl]benzanilide,
4-hydroxy-2'-[2-(1-methyl-2-piperidyl)ethyl]benzanilide,
4-chloro-2'-[2-(1-methyl-2-piperidyl)ethyl]benzanilide,
4-amino-2'-[2-(1-methyl-2-piperidyl)ethyl]benzanilide,
4-acetoxy-2'-[2-(1-methyl-2-piperidyl)ethyl]benzanilide,
2'-[2-(1-methyl-2-piperidyl)ethyl]-3,4,5-trimethoxybenzanilide,
2'-[2-(1-methyl-2-piperidyl)ethyl]-2-thiophenecarboxanilide,
2'-[2-(1-methyl-2-piperidyl)ethyl]methanesulfonanilide,
2'-[2-(1-methyl-2-piperidyl)ethyl]acetanilide,
2'-[2-(1-methyl-2-piperidyl)ethyl]formanilide,
2-(o-aminophenethyl)-1-methylpiperidine,
2'-[2-(1-methyl-2-piperidyl)ethyl]cinnamanilide,
2'-[3-(1-methyl-2-piperidyl)propyl]-p-anisanilide.
The compounds of Formula Ia and Formula Ib are characterized as particularly useful antiserotonin agents as can be demonstrated in the rat uterus. According to this test one of the uterine horns of a rat uterus is suspended in oxygenated salt solution at 30.degree. C. The contractions of this tissue are then recorded and varying concentrations of the test compound introduced into the bath in order to determine the concentration that would decrease the spasmogenic effect of 0.4 microgram per milliliter of serotonin by 50%. This value is designated the IC.sub.50.
A preferred antiserotonin compound of the present invention is 2'-[2-(1-methyl-2-piperidyl)ethyl]cinnamanilide, which has an IC.sub.50 of 0.00185 microgram per milliliter. Another preferred substance, 4-methoxy-2'-[2-(1-methyl-2-piperidyl)ethyl]benzanilide, has an IC.sub.50 of 0.0046 microgram per milliliter. The antiserotonin agents lysergide (LSD) and methysergide have an IC.sub.50 of 0.012 and 0.0025 microgram per milliliter respectively.
The antiarrhythmic and antiserotonin therapeutic process of the present invention is carried out in mammals by systemic administration of a non-toxic effective dose of the piperidines of Formulas I and XII ranging from about 0.01 to 20 milligram per kilogram of body weight of the mammal or more preferably from 0.1 to 10 mg./kg. Acceptable forms of systemic administration are oral and parenteral. Examples of parenteral administration are intramuscular, intravenous, intraperitoneal, and subcutaneous administration. The dosage of the present therapeutic agents of Formulas I and XII will vary with the form of administration and particular compound chosen. Generally, the compound is administered at a dosage substantially less than the optimum dose of the compound. Thereafter, the dosage is increased by small increments until the optimum effect under the circumstances is reached. It will generally be found that when the composition is administered orally, larger quantities of the active agent will be required to produce the same effect as a smaller quantity given parenterally. In general, the compounds of this invention are most desirably administered at a concentration level that will generally afford effective results without causing any harmful or deleterious side effects.
The antiserotonin activity of 2'-[2-(1-methyl-2-piperidyl)ethyl]-cinnamanilide can also be demonstrated in mice according to the method of S. J. Corne, et al., Brit. J. Pharmacol., 20, 106 (1963). This test is dependent on the metabolism of 5-hydroxytryptophan to serotonin in the brain in mice which are pretreated with a monamine oxidase inhibitor. Depending on the route of administration and the pretreatment time, the following ED.sub.50 values are obtained; subcutaneous, 4.3 mg./kg. (30 minute pretreatment), 10 mg./kg. (60 minute pretreatment); intraperitoneal, 21 mg./kg. (60 minute pretreatment). These values compare favorably with that obtained with methyldopa, a known serotonin inhibitor, which has an intraperitoneal ED.sub.50 of 37 mg./kg. (60 minute pretreatment).
When the compounds of this invention characterized by Formulas I and XII are employed as antiserotonin or antiarrhythmic agents they may be administered to mammals alone or in combination with a pharmaceutically acceptable carrier. The proportion of the pharmaceutical carrier is determined by the solubility and chemical nature of the compound and chosen route of administration in standard pharmaceutical practice. For example, they may be administered orally in form of tablets, coated tablets or capsules containing such excipients as starch, milk, sugar, certain types of clay, gelatin, stearic acid or salts thereof, magnesium or calcium stearate, talc, vegetable fats or oils, gums, glycols, and other known excipients. They may be administered orally in the form of solutions which may contain coloring and flavoring agents or they may be injected parenterally, that is intramuscularly, intravenously, or subcutaneously. For parenteral administration they may be used in the form of sterile solution. Said pharmaceutical compositions are prepared by conventional methods.
A recommended dosage unit form comprises a pharmaceutical carrier and the therapeutically active compound in an amount sufficient to provide a non-toxic effective antiserotonin or antiarrhythmic dose ranging from about 0.01 to 20 milligram per kilogram of body weight of the mammal treated.
Advantageously, the compositions can be adapted to supply a fixed dose containing from 1 to 500 mg. and preferably 5 to 100 mg. of the active ingredient.
Preparation of compounds of Formula I according to the process of the present invention is carried out according to Equation 1. ##STR7## wherein R.sup.1, R.sup.2, R.sup.4, and R.sup.5 have the meaning stated above and R.sup.3 is limited to lower alkyl provided that when R.sup.5 is "R.sup.7 -benzoyl", R.sup.7 additionally represents "NO.sub.2 " but cannot stand for NH.sub.2 or OH. Compounds wherein R.sup.7 is "NO.sub.2 " are converted to compounds of Formula I wherein R.sup.7 is "NH.sub.2 " by hydrogenation. Compounds wherein R.sup.7 is "acetoxy" are converted to compounds of Formula I wherein R.sup.7 is "OH" by hydrolysis. The symbol "X" represents a halogenide of a R.sup.5 carbonyl or sulfonyl radical or R.sup.5 X taken together represents an anhydride.
Illustrative of R.sup.5 X reactants which can be reacted with o-aminophenethylpiperidines of Formula II are:
acetic-formic anhydride,
acetic anhydride,
n-propionic anhydride,
n-butyric anhydride,
isobutyric anhydride,
benzoic anhydride,
acetyl chloride,
propionyl chloride,
butyryl chloride,
methanesulfonyl chloride,
methanesulfonic anhydride,
ethanesulfonic anhydride,
isopropylsulfonyl chloride,
n-butanesulfonyl chloride,
4-methoxybenzoyl chloride,
3,4,5-trimethoxybenzoyl chloride,
3,5-dimethoxybenzoyl chloride,
2-methoxybenzoyl chloride,
2-chlorobenzoyl chloride,
3-acetoxybenzoyl chloride.
In addition R.sup.5 X taken together can represent a reactive ester such as, for example, methyl 4-(t-butoxy)benzoate, ethyl picolinate, ethyl propiolate, ethyl 4-dimethylaminobenzoate, ethyl furan-3-carboxylate and the like.
The reaction proceeds when the reactants are contacted and mixed in an inert organic solvent as a reaction medium. Representative inert organic solvents which can be employed as reaction media include ether, benzene, toluene, acetonitrile halogenated hydrocarbons such as chloroform, and the like. Whenever halogenide reactants such as acetyl chloride, etc., are employed, it is desirable to add a hydrogen halide acceptor such as triethylamine to the reaction mixture. Pyridine is preferred particularly as a reaction medium because of its suitability both as a solvent and as an acid acceptor. The temperature at which the reaction is carried out is not critical, although from a convenience and ease of operability viewpoint, room temperature is preferred. The exact proportions of the reactants to be employed is not critical. However, since the o-aminophenethylpiperidines of Formula II and the R.sup.5 X reactants are consumed in equimolar proportions, the reactants are preferably employed in such proportions. The reaction is generally complete in about 1 to 24 hr. depending upon the reaction temperature employed. The product can be conveniently separated from the reaction mixture by concentrating the reaction mixture under reduced pressure, dissolving the resulting residue in water and adding thereto a base such as aqueous sodium hydroxide, aqueous sodium carbonate, or aqueous potassium carbonate to make the mixture strongly basic. The product can then be separated by extraction with a halogenated hydrocarbon solvent, ether, benzene, ethyl acetate, etc. Generally, the product can be purified by recrystallization from organic solvents such as isopropyl ether, heptane, methanol, ethanol, isopropyl alcohol, ethyl acetate, water, acetone, and the like, or it can be converted to an acid addition salt. Other means of purification include chromatography, e.g. thin-layer or column.
Conversion of the substances characterized by Formula I and Formula XII to pharmaceutically acceptable acid addition salts is accomplished by admixture of the Formula I and Formula XII bases with substantially one chemical equivalent of any of the various acids hereinbefore defined. Generally the reactions are carried out in an inert solvent. Suitable solvents by way of example, are ethanol, benzene, ethyl acetate, ether, and halogenated hydrocarbons.
Synthesis of the novel o-aminophenethylpiperidine intermediates of Formula II begins with preparation of 2-styrylpyridines of Formula III which are obtained according to the method of L. Horwitz, J. Org. Chem., 21, 1039 (1956) from the reaction of a R.sup.2 -o-nitrobenzaldehyde and a R.sup.4 -2-methylpyridine. As shown in Equation 2, the nitro-2-styrylpyridines of Formula III are reduced to an o-aminophenethylpyridine of Formula IV. It is preferred that reduction be carried out catalytically in a solvent employing palladium on carbon catalyst. Suitable solvents by way of example are the lower alkanoyls such as methanol, ethanol, isopropanol, etc. ##STR8##
The o-aminophenethylpyridines of Formula IV are then formylated in order to block alkylation of the aromatic amine when the R.sup.3 substituent is introduced by quaternization of the pyridine nitrogen with an R.sup.3 -halide. This conversion of the o-aminophenethylpyridines of Formula IV to the Formula V formyl derivative is illustrated by Equation 3 and is preferably carried out with acetic-formic anhydride. ##STR9##
Equation 4 illustrates the alkylation of a Formula V pyridine with an alkyl iodide to provide a pyridinium salt of Formula VI. Depending on the R.sup.3 substituent desired, alkyl halides such as ethyl iodide, ethyl bromide, n-propyl iodide, 2-iodopropane, 1-iodobutane, 1-iodo-2-methylpropane, 1-chloro-2-methylpropane, 2-iodo-2-methylpropane and the like are employed. The alkylation is carried out in an inert solvent such as acetone, acetonitrile, etc. ##STR10##
Compounds of Formula VI are converted to the phenethylpiperidines of Formula VII by reduction according to Equation 5. The reduction is carried out catalytically employing platinum as the catalyst in a suitable solvent such as the lower alkanols. The phenethylpiperidines of Formula VII can also be obtained by reduction first with metal borohydrides such as sodium borohydride, or potassium borohydride to provide a tetrahydropyridine which is then further reduced by well known catalytic methods to the piperidines of Formula VII. For example, reduction of 5-diethylcarbamyl-2-(o-formamidophenethyl)-1-methylpyridinium iodide with sodium borohydride in methanol solution provides N,N-diethyl-6-(o-formamidophenethyl)-1-methyltetrahydropyridin-3-carboxami de which is then hydrogenated in ethanol with a 10% palladium on carbon catalyst. It will be recognized that compounds of formula VII represent the products of Formula I of the present invention wherein R.sup.1 is hydrogen and R.sup.5 is formyl. ##STR11##
Representative of the formanilides of Formula VII are:
2'-[2-(1-methyl-2-piperidyl)ethyl]formanilide,
2'-[2-(5-methyl-1-methyl-2-piperidyl)ethyl]formanilide,

N,n-diethyl-6-[(2-formamido-5-methoxyphenethyl)-1-methylpiperidine-3-carbox amide.
If the o-aminophenethylpyridines of Formula IV are acylated with alkanoyl halides such as acetyl chloride, propionyl chloride, isobutyryl chloride, butyryl chloride and the like, and the sequence of reactions illustrated by Equations 3-5 repeated, products of Formula I are obtained wherein R.sup.1 is hydrogen and R.sup.5 is alkanoyl. Representative of the alkanoylanilides of Formula I thus formed are:
2'-[2-(1-methyl-2-piperidyl)ethyl]acetanilide,
4'-methoxy-2'-[2-(1-methyl-2-piperidyl)ethyl]-acetanilide,

For example, reduction of 2'-[2-(2-pyridyl)ethyl]-p-anisanilide employing a palladium on carbon catalyst provides 2'[-2-(2-piperidyl)ethyl]-p-anisanilide. Similarly, reduction of 2'-[2-(1-methyl-2-piperidyl)ethyl]isonicotanilide affords 2'-[2-(1-methyl-2-piperidyl)ethyl]isonipecotoicanilide.
Compounds of Formula XII (illustrated by Formula XV) wherein the divalent radical "A" is ##STR14## and R.sup.8 is lower alkyl can also be obtained by reaction of an o-formylanilide of Formula XIII with a 2-(N-R.sup.8 -2-piperidyl)ethyl magnesium chloride of Formula XIV as depicted by Equation 8.
