Description
BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION
Atopic immediate sensitivity is the chief manifestation found in animals suffering from bronchial asthma, seasonal pollinosis (e.g. hay fever), allergic rhinitis, urticaria, allergic conjunctivitis, food allergies and anaphylactoid reactions. The substances most frequently responsible for clinically manifest sensitivities are plant pollen, animal feathers and danders, dust, milk and wheat, whether inhaled or ingested.
Atopic hypersensitivity is found in man, dog and other animals. Its occurrance is exceptionally found in the lower animals.
The presence of antibodies associated with atopic hypersensitivity reactions in the host serum is established by the passive sensitization of the skin of a normal recipient, after injection of serum from a sensitized host into a skin site followed by injection of antigen into the same area 24 hours later, resulting in a local hive. This is commonly referred to as the Prausnitz-Kustner (P-K) reaction.
The antibody associated with atopic hypersensitivity possesses distinctive features in that it does not in all forms precipitate with its antigen, fails to pass the placenta from mother to fetus, has special affinity for the skin, frequently lacks specificity toward an individual antigenic factor and is usually labile at about 56.degree. C. after 2 hours.
The homocytotropic antibody found in or induced in the rat is related in function and reaction to immunoglobulin E (reagin or IgE) found in the human. The correlation between homocytotropic antibody in the rat and IgE in the human has been established through the common effects obtained from chemical reactions, immunological reactions and drug responses in the two species hosting those antibodies. In the human, reagin is the antibody responsible for atopic immediate hypersensitive reactions. In the rat, the homocytotropic antibody is responsible for atopic immediate hypersensitive reactions.
In theory, reagin, influences the cell membrane of a mast cell by reacting with an antigen, to initiate the reaction(s) within the mast cell which ultimately releases a mediator such as Bradykinin, SRS-A (slow reacting substance-A), histamine and other unknown substances. The mediator effects a change in surrounding cell wall permeability permitting a rapid change in flow or exudance of mediator(s) from the cells, resulting in an allergic attack symptom. The various methods commonly employed to relieve the symptoms of allergic attack, none of which are considered to be quite acceptable, are to (1) avoid attack by the antigen, (2) block the production of antibody with an immunosuppressant, (3) block the action of the mediators on the cell under attack by administration of anti-histaminics, anti-5-hydroxy-tryptamines(5-HT) or anti-inflammatories, or (4) stimulate the cell under attack to negate the action of the mediator through the action of bronchodilators such as Isuprel.RTM. or a Xanthine.
The only compound known to date to operate as an antiallergic by blocking reaction(s) within the mast cells, thereby preventing the production and release of mediators, is disodium cromoglycate (INTAL.RTM.).
Derivatives of oxamic acids have been employed in the past as intermediates for polymer formation and as tools for chemical research. Each of the known oxamic acid derivatives included as part of the new use aspect of this application is accompanied with a reference citation in the working examples, infra.
DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION
In accordance with this invention, there is provided a process for preventing the release of pharmacological mediators from an immediate hypersensitivity reaction between reaginic type antibodies and an antigen, thereby preventing the symptoms manifest in bronchial asthma, seasonal pollinosis, allergic rhinitis, urticaria, allergic conjunctivities, food allergy and anaphylactoid reactions of a sensitized animal, which comprises prophylactically administering to said animal an effective amount of a compound of the formula: ##STR2## in which A is a member selected from the group consisting of .alpha.-naphthyl, .beta.-naphthyl, phenyl, 2,6-dichlorophenyl, and substituted phenyl moieties containing from one to three substituents in any of the 2,3,4 and 5 positions of the phenyl ring, independently selected from the group consisting of lower alkyl, lower alkylthio, lower alkylsulfinyl, lower alkoxy, hydroxy(lower)alkoxy, 2-(oxalyloxy) ethoxy, benzyloxy, N-mono- and di-lower alkylaminoalkoxy, halo, sulfamyl, polyhalo(lower)alkyl, carbamyl, N-lower alkylcarbamyl, nitro, mono- and di-lower alkylamino, carboxy, lower alkylcarbonyl, carb(lower)alkoxy, phenoxy(lower)alkoxy and oxalamidophenoxy radicals;
and pharmaceutically acceptable salts thereof.
The preferred method aspect of this invention comprises administering to a sensitized animal a compound which, in minimal dosage quantity, will suppress the allergic response to a degree of or in excess of 75 percent of the characteristic wheal size of sensitized skin tissue, which compounds present the structural formula: ##STR3## in which A is .alpha.-naphthyl, .beta.-naphthyl, phenyl, 2,6-dichlorophenyl or a substituted phenyl moiety containing from one to three substituents, in any of the 2,3,4 and 5 positions of the phenyl ring, independently selected from the group consisting of lower alkyl, fluoro, lower alkoxy, hydroxy-(lower)alkoxy, N-mono- or di(lower)alkylamino(lower)-alkoxy, (lower)alkylthio, carbamoyl, carb(lower alkoxy oxalyloxy) ethoxy, trifluoromethyl, nitro, and phenoxy-(lower)alkoxy;
and pharmaceutically acceptable salts thereof.
The novel aromatic oxamic acid derivatives form an additional aspect of this invention.
The aromatic oxamic acid derivatives present the formula: ##STR4## in which A is a member selected from the group consisting of 3-fluorophenyl, 4-carbamylphenyl, 2-nitro-4-trifluoromethylphenyl, 4-nitro-3-trifluoromethylphenyl, 5-chloro-2-sulfamoylphenyl and ##STR5## wherein R.sup.1 is a member selected from the group consisting of hydroxyl, lower alkyl, lower alkoxy, lower alkylamino and amino radicals;
R.sup.2 is a member selected from the group consisting of hydrogen, lower alkoxy, di(lower)alkylamino(lower)-alkoxy, hydroxy(lower)alkoxy, phenoxy(lower)alkoxy, 2-(oxalyloxy)ethoxy and loweralkylthio radicals; with the proviso that when R.sup.1 is hydrogen or lower alkoxy, R.sup.2 is other than hydrogen;
R.sup.3 is a member selected from the group consisting of hydrogen, lower alkyl, and lower alkoxy radicals;
R.sup.4 is a member selected from the group consisting of --H, lower alkyl and lower alkoxy with the proviso that one of R.sup.2, R.sup.3 and R.sup.4 must be other than hydrogen.
The term "lower" used throughout this application to modify alkyl, alkoxy, and the like, is intended to embrace univalent aliphatic hydrocarbon radicals containing from 1 to 6 carbon atoms. The term "halo" is used to embrace chlorine, bromine, iodine and fluorine.
Each of the carboxylic acids constituting this invention has been demonstrated in the form of their simple esters to relieve atopic allergic manifestations, when administered intraperitoneally to sensitized rats. Several of the compounds tested were found to be effective anti-allergy agents when administered orally to the sensitized animals.
The technique employed to establish the anti-allergic activity of the disclosed compounds is reported in Immunology, vol. 16, pp. 749-760 (1969) and involves four male Charles River rats (200-250 grams body weight) per group to provide a control, a host for administration of a standard anti-allergic compound (disodium cromoglycate) and animals for the test compound. The rats were injected intracutaneously on their shaved backs with sera from rats immunized with egg albumin and pertussis vaccine. 24 hours after the initial injections, the test compound is administered intraperitoneally or orally at a dosage level of 200 milligrams per kilogram host body weight. Five minutes later one milliliter of a 0.5 percent solution of Evans blue dye and 8 milligrams of egg albumin is injected intravenously. After 40 minutes, the animal is sacrificed and the bleb size on its back is measured. The mean bleb size for the animals administered the test compound is calculated and the percent inhibition is determined by comparison with the control animal. A representative number of the compounds were tested at dosage levels considerably below 200 milligrams per kilogram host body weight to establish the activity of the compounds at minimal concentrations as low as 3 milligrams per kilogram host body weight.
Although the mechanism by which the compounds of this invention function is not absolutely known, applicants have found that the compounds of this invention, in a manner believed to be similar to the function of INTAL.RTM., block reaction(s) in the mast cell leading to the production and release of mediators.
The compounds of this invention permit the occurrence of a non-productive antigen-antibody interaction. They effectively block the IgE type reaction and have little or no effect on the other immunoglobulins such as IgG, IgM, IgA and IgD.
The compounds of this invention have no pharmacological response pattern similar to known anti-allergics in that they have no anti-hypertensive activity (no cardiovascular effect, etc.), they have no analgesic activity, they have no central nervous system activity, they have no immunosuppressive activity, they have no activity against histamine, serotonin, Bradykinin, etc. and they have no endocrinological activity.
In sum, the compounds of this invention block the release of mediators commonly resulting from the antigen-antibody reaction as exemplified in a passive cutaneous anaphylaxis test (PCA) using rat homocytotropic antibody - a known correlate of human reaginic antibody.
By analogy to disodium cromoglycate and its activity correlation between standard test animals, domestic animals and man, the compounds of this invention have been established as anti-allergic agents suitable for the same uses at analogous doses and through the same routes of administration as INTAL.RTM.. Several of the compounds of this invention have been found to be effective anti-allergic agents when administered orally. The orally active compounds of special interest are the methyl, ethyl and i-propyl oxanilate, ethyl 3'-methyloxanilate, ethyl 4'-methoxyoxanilate, ethyl and secondary butyl 2'-carbamoyl-3'-methoxyoxanilate, ethyl 4'-nitro-3'-(trifluoromethyl)oxanilate and ethyl 1-naphthyloxamate, 2'-carbamoyl-3'-(2-hydroxypropoxy)-oxanilic acid ethyl ester, (2-carbamoyl-3, 5-dimethoxyphenyl)-oxamic acid ethyl ester, oxalic acid (2-[2-aminocarbonyl-3-ethoxy carbonylcarbonylaminophenoxy]ethyl)ethyl ester, [2-carbamoyl-3(2-hydroxyethoxy)phenyl]oxamic acid ethyl ester, 3-benzyloxy-2-carbamoylphenyl)oxamic acid ethyl ester, (4-dimethylaminophenyl)-oxamic acid ethyl ester, [2-(aminocarbonyl)-3-(dimethylamino)phenyl]oxamic acid ethyl ester, [2-carbamoyl-3-(methylthio)phenyl]oxamic acid ethyl ester and [(2-aminocarbonyl- 3-methylsulfinylphenyl)amino]oxo acetic acid ethyl ester.
Thus, there is provided herewith a method for suppressing allergic manifestations of atopic immediate sensitivity in warm-blooded human and non-human animals, the latter including domesticated animals such as the mouse, rat, hamster, gerbil, dog, cat, sheep, goat, horse, cow, and the like, by administering an effective amount of one or more of the compounds disclosed in this application by oral, topical, parenteral, rectal, vaginal or inhalation routes. Since the compounds of this invention afford no pharmacological response pattern similar to or antagonistic to common anti-allergics, they may be administered in conjunction with known compounds effecting anti-histaminic, anti-hypertensive, analgesic, central nervous system depressant, immunosuppressive, anti-serotonin, anti-Bradykinin or endocrinological responses. In addition, those conventional adjuvants known to the art may be combined with the anti-allergics of this invention to provide compositions and solutions for administrative purposes, although it is considered desirable and feasible to employ the anti-allergics as neat or pure compounds without additives other than for purposes of providing suitable pharmaceutical solution or liquid or vapor suspensions.
The effective dose range in test animals has been established to be from about 1.5 milligrams per kilogram to a dosage resulting in 100 percent prevention of allergic responses at 5 milligrams per kilogram host body weight upon administration intraperitoneally. The oral dose range lies from about 1.5 milligrams per kilogram to 90 percent prevention of allergic response at 200 milligrams per kilogram host body weight. As an inhalant the dose is from that of INTAL.RTM., (about 20 milligrams) to 1/20th that quantity administered as needed prior to attack. Thus the dosage contemplated for human use based upon the potency of the compounds administered lies from about 100 milligrams to 1 gram, preferably 250 milligrams to about 750 milligrams in unit dosage form to be administered when necessary and to the degree of the desired response, in single or plural doses under the guidance of a physician.
The compounds of this invention have not been found to be toxic to mice, the standard experimental animal in toxicity studies of this nature, at any administered dose up to and in excess of two grams per kilogram host body weight. No toxic level has been found in other standard test animals. The anti-allergic compounds of this invention appear to be free from side effects common to other anti-allergics such as sedation, dizziness, depression, etc.
The aromatic oxamic acid derivatives are generally prepared by reaction of an appropriately substituted aromatic amino or heterocyclic amino with an appropriately substituted oxalylchloride in the presence of an acid acceptor, such as pyridine, at ambient temperature. The technique employed in the preparation of each of the specifically disclosed compounds is presented in the following working examples either in detail or by citation of the appropriate literature, the latter being incorporated herein by reference. Throughout the following Examples, reference is made to CA (Chemical Abstracts), Zh. Obshch. Khim (The Journal of General Chemistry - Russia), Rec. Trav. Chim (Recueil des Travaux Chimique des Pays-Bas-Netherlands), Heilbron (Dictionary of Organic Compounds), Ber. Deut. Chem. (Berichte der deutschen chemischen Gesellschaft), J. Org. Chem. (Journal of Organic Chemistry), J.A.C.S. (Journal of the American Chemical Society) and Farmaco, Ed. Sci. (Il Farmaco Scientifica Edition - Italy).
In the working examples, the number following the entitled compound refers to intraperitoneal/oral activity data obtained at a dosage level of 200 milligrams per kilogram host body weight, unless otherwise indicated. The acitivity data represents the percent inhibition of the mean bleb size of sensitized rats administered the named compound in accordance with the test procedure presented, supra. The oral data is representatively presented for those compounds exhibiting inhibition of fifty percent or more of the weal size in the test animals at 200 milligrams per kilogram host body weight unless otherwise indicated.
In the following examples, the various esters produced are readily converted to the corresponding free carboxylic acid by conventional techniques well known to the art; Example 26 illustrating one such process. The free carboxylic acids, active in their own right as anti-allergic agents, also represent intermediates for the production of esters, where the alcoholic moiety is to be tailored for lipide solubility, for the production of pharmaceutically acceptable salts such as the alkali metal and ammonium salts or an amine salt which is readily derived from such known pharmaceutically acceptable amines as diethylamine, di-(hydroxy ethyl)amine, N,N'-dibenzylethylenediamine, and the like, or for the production of an amide. Likewise, the expression "pharmaceutically acceptable salt" is intended to embrace those non-toxic acid addition salts which may be formed with either organic or inorganic acids such as hydrochloric, hydrobromic, sulfuric, phosphoric, methane sulfonic, nitric, p-toluene sulfonic, acetic, citric, maleic, succinic acid and the like.
