The basic amino group may also form one of the heterocycles piperidine, morpholine, thiamorpholine or piperazine.
R.sup.6 is hydrogen or lower alkyl.
DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION
The various groups represented by the symbols are of the following types:
The lower alkyl groups are straight or branched chain hydrocarbon groups having up to seven carbon atoms like methyl, ethyl, propyl, isopropyl, butyl, isobutyl, t-butyl, pentyl and the like. The lower alkylene groups are divalent radicals of the same kind. Examples of the phenyl-lower alkylene groups are benzyl, phenethyl, phenylisopropyl and the like. The C.sub.1 -C.sub.4 and especially the C.sub.1 -C.sub.2 lower alkyl and lower alkylene groups are preferred.
The substituted Phenyl and substituted benzoyl groups (i.e., R.sub.9 -phenyl, R.sub.9 -benzoyl) are simply substituted benzoyl groups having halogen (the four common halogens, but preferably chlorine or bromine), lower alkyl or lower alkoxy (similar to the lower alkyl groups defined above) groups (R.sub.9) on the phenyl ring, for example, p-chlorophenyl, o-chlorophenyl, p-bromophenyl, m-chlorophenyl, m-bromophenyl, p-tolyl, o-tolyl, o-ethylphenyl, p-methoxyphenyl, p-chlorobenzyl, o-chlorobenzoyl, p-bromobenzoyl, m-bromobenzoyl, p-methylbenzoyl, o-ethylbenzoyl, p-methoxybenzoyl and the like. Chlorine, bromine and methyl are the preferred substituents in both instances.
The lower alkanoyl groups are the acyl groups of the lower (C.sub.2 -C.sub.7) fatty acids, e.g., acetyl, propionyl, butyryl, isobutyryl and the like. Those with up to four carbons in the chain are preferred, especially acetyl.
The lower alkoxy-lower alkylene and lower alkylthiolower alkylene groups represented by R.sup.5 have radicals like those described above including such groups as methoxymethylene, ethoxymethylene, methoxyethylene, methylthiomethylene, methylthioethylene, ethylthiomethylene, ethylthioethylene, etc.
The amino-lower alkylene groups are of the same type, e.g., aminomethyl, aminoethyl, etc. The di-lower alkylaminolower alkylene groups are also of the same type wherein the nitrogen is substituted with two lower alkyl groups. In addition, the two lower alkyl groups may join in forming a heterocycle which may include an additional hetero atom. In other words, the di-lower alkylamino-lower alkylene group can take the form ##STR3## alkylene wherein R.sup.7 and R.sup.8 are lower alkyl groups or join together to complete the heterocycle piperidine, morpholine, piperazine or thiamorpholine (preferably the first three and especially the first two). Preferably the lower alkyl and lower alkylene groups have up to 4 and especially 1 or 2 carbons. Thus, groups like dimethylaminomethyl, diethylaminomethyl, dimethylaminoethyl, diethylaminoethyl, dimethylaminopropyl, piperidinomethyl, piperidinoethyl, morpholinomethyl, morpholinoethyl, thiamorpholinomethyl, thiamorpholinoethyl, piperazinomethyl, piperazinoethyl, piperazinopropyl are included.
Preferably R.sup.1 is lower alkyl, especially ethyl; R.sup.2 is hydrogen or lower alkyl, especially hydrogen; R.sup.3 is hydrogen or lower alkyl, especially methyl; R.sup.4 is hydrogen or lower alkyl, especially hydrogen; R.sup.5 is lower alkyl, especially methyl, ethyl and isopentyl, or di-lower alkylaminolower alkylene, especially dimethylaminopropyl and dimethylaminoethyl; R.sup.6 is lower alkyl or hydrogen, especially hydrogen.
The products of the examples are representative of the various compounds of this invention and constitute especially preferred embodiments.
The new compounds of formula I are formed by the following series of reactions. The symbols in the structural formulas have the same meaning as previously described.
A pyrazolo[3,4-b]pyridine of the formula ##STR4## (produced according to the procedure given in U.S. Pat. No. 3,761,487, Sept. 25, 1973) is made to react with an iminonitrile of the formula. ##STR5## or a ketonitrile of formula ##STR6## in an organic solvent like alcohol, or the like.
By this reaction a hydrazone of the formula ##STR7## is produced. A compound of formula I wherein R.sup.5 is hydrogen is now obtained by treating the compound of formula V in an organic acid, like acetic acid with zinc chloride or any other Lewis acid as catalyst. Alternatively, the ring closure may be effected under basic conditions, e.g., with an alkali metal alcoholate in the corresponding alcohol like sodium or potassium alcoholate in ethyl alcohol.
Compounds of formula I, wherein R.sup.5 is other than hydrogen, are obtained by treatment of a cyclized compound of formula I wherein R.sup.5 is hydrogen, obtained as just described, with the halide R.sup.5 -hal, wherein hal is a halogen, preferably chlorine or bromine, and R.sup.5 has the meaning defined above, in the presence of a base, preferably a base of an alkali metal, like sodium hydride, sodium or potassium alcoholate, sodium metal, sodium or potassium hydroxide, or the like, in a solvent like dimethylformamide or diethyleneglycol dimethyl ether.
The new compounds of formula I form salts which are also part of this invention. The salts include acid addition salts, particularly the non-toxic, physiologically acceptable members. These salts are formed by reaction with one or more equivalents of a variety of inorganic and organic acids providing acid addition salts including, for example, hydrohalides (especially hydrochloride and hydrobromide), sulfate, nitrate, borate, phosphate, oxalate, tartrate, maleate, citrate, acetate, ascorbate, succinate, aryl- and alkanesulfonates like benzenesulfonate, methanesulfonate, cyclohexanesulfamate and toluenesulfonate, etc. The acid addition salts frequently provide a convenient means for isolating the product, e.g., by forming and precipitating a salt (which is not necessarily non-toxic) in an appropriate medium in which the salt is insoluble, then after separation of the salt, neutralizing with a base such as barium hydroxide or sodium hydroxide, to obtain the free base of formula I. Other salts can then be formed from the free base by reaction with an equivalent or more of acid containing the desired anion.
Additional experimental details are found in the examples.
The new compounds of this invention have central nervous system depressant activity and can be used as psychotropic agents, e.g., as ataractic agents for the relief of anxiety and tension states, for example, in mice, cats, rats, dogs and other mammalian species. For this purpose a compound or mixture of compounds of formula I, or non-toxic, physiologically acceptable acid addition salt thereof, is preferably administered orally, but parenteral routes such as subcutaneously, intramuscularly, intravenously or intraperitoneally in the described dosages, can also be employed. A single dose, or preferably 2 to 4 divided daily doses, provided on a basis of about 1 to 50 mg. per kilogram per day, preferably about 2 to 15 mg. per kilogram per day, is appropriate.
The new compounds of this invention also have antiinflammatory properties and are useful as anti-inflammatory agents, for example, to reduce local inflammatory conditions such as those of an edematous nature or resulting from proliferation of connective tissue in various mammalian species such as rats, dogs and the like when given orally in dosages of about 5 to 50 mg/kg/day, preferably 5 to 25 mg/kg/day, in single or 2 to 4 divided doses, as indicated by the carageenan edema or delayed hypersensitivity skin reaction tests in rats.
The compounds of the invention can be utilized by formulation in compositions such as tablets, capsules or elixirs for oral administration or in sterile solutions or suspensions for parental administration. About 10 to 250 mg. of a compound or mixture of compounds of formula I or physiologically acceptable acid addition salt is compounded with a physiologically acceptable vehicle, carrier, excipient, binder, preservative, stabilizer, flavor, etc., in a unit dosage form as called for by accepted pharmaceutical practice. The amount of active substance in these compositions or preparations is such that a suitable dosage in the range indicated is obtained.
Illustrative of the adjuvants which may be incorporated in tablets, capsules and the like are the following: a binder such as gum tragacanth, acacia, corn starch or gelatin; an excipient such as dicalcium phosphate; a disintegrating agent such as corn starch, potato starch, alginic acid and the like; a lubricant such as magnesium stearate; a sweetening agent such as sucrose, lactose or saccharin; a flavoring agent such as peppermint, oil of wintergreen or cherry. When the dosage unit form is a capsule, it may contain in addition to materials of the above type a liquid carrier such as a fatty oil. Various other materials may be present as coatings or to otherwise modify the physical form of the dosage unit. For instance, tablets or capsules may be coated with shellac, sugar or both. A syrup or elixir may contain the active compound, sucrose as a sweetening agent, methyl and propyl parabens as preservatives, a dye and a flavoring such as cherry or orange flavor. Of course, any material used in preparing the dosage unit should be pharmaceutically pure and substantially non-toxic in the amounts employed.
For topical administration as an anti-inflammatory agent, a conventional lotion, ointment or cream containing about 0.1 to 3 percent by weight of a compound of formula I or its salt is formulated.
The following examples are illustrative of the invention and constitute especially preferred embodiments. They also serve as models for the preparation of other members of the group which can be produced by suitable substitution of starting materials. All temperatures are in degrees celsius.
