Description
The present invention relates to (4-oxo-4H-1-benzopyran-3-yl)aminooxoacetic acids and their derivatives having the following formula: ##STR2## wherein R.sub.1 is hydrogen, halogen, hydroxy, lower alkoxy or lower alkyl, R.sub.2 is hydrogen or lower alkyl and R.sub.3 is hydrogen or lower alkyl.
In the above definition for R.sub.1 -R.sub.3 lower alkyl is meant to have 1-6 carbon atoms and includes, for example, methyl, ethyl, propyl, isopropyl, butyl, isobutyl and so on.
Halogen includes all the four members, i.e., chlorine, bromine, fluorine and iodine.
The present invention also includes within its scope the corresponding pharmaceutically acceptable salts of the above compounds as well as methods for the treatment of allergic conditions by the administration of the aforesaid compound in a pharmaceutical dosage form.
The compounds of this invention are active in prevention of allergic and asthmatic reactions in rats at dose levels of 0.5 mg/kg to 100 mg/kg; thus ethyl (6-chloro-4-oxo-4H-1-benzopyran-3-yl)aminooxoacetate shows a 92% inhibition of the allergic response at 10 mg/kg when tested intraperitoneally in the passive cutaneous anaphalaxis (PCA) screen, which is a modification of procedures described by I. Mota, Life Sciences, 7: 465 (1963) and Z. Ovary and O. Bier, Proc. Soc. Exptl. Biol. Med., 81: 585 (1952). Similarly, (6-chloro-4-oxo-4H-1-benzopyran-3-yl)aminooxoacetic acid shows a 41% inhibition of the allergic response at 0.5 mg/kg when tested intravenously in the PCA screen. Consequently, they are indicated in the management of asthma, hay fever and other allergic conditions.
Generally speaking, for the treatment of bronchial asthma, a dose of about 1-100 mg/kg orally or by parenteral administration is suggested. This dosage regimen may be varied depending upon the age, sex, weight of the patient and the severity of the condition being treated, by methods well-known to the healing arts.
The compounds of this invention and their salts may also be administered by inhalation in which the compounds are inhaled directly in the form of an aerosol.
The pharmaceutical dosage forms for the administration of the instant compounds are tablets, capsules and aqueous suspensions. These dosage forms are prepared by combining the active ingredient with pharmaceutical diluents such as lactose and compounded into tablets by well-known tabletting technology. The active ingredient in the finished dosage form is from 1-100 mg per unit.
According to the present invention, Compound I is prepared by the following reaction scheme: ##STR3##
The starting materials are prepared by the following procedure:
2-Methyl-3-nitro-4H-1-benzopyran-4-one and 3-aminochromone by the method of G. J. P. Beckett and G. P. Ellis, Tetrahedron Letters, 719 (1976); 3-amino-6-chlorochromone by the method of M. von Strandtmann and S. Klutchko, U.S. Pat. No. 3,906,005, and ethyl oxalyl chloride is available from Aldrich Chemical Company.
Briefly, Compound II is prepared by hydrogenating Compound II by a known hydrogenation procedure, e.g., palladium on charcoal under an atmosphere of hydrogen. Compound IV, in turn, is readily obtained by treatment with an alkyl oxalyl halide at ambient temperature. The corresponding acid, V, is prepared by hydrolysis in a manner known per se.
Esters corresponding to Compound V are also prepared in a manner per se.
For more detailed description of the preparation of the instant compounds, please refer to the following examples. The pharmaceutically acceptable salts of the present invention are prepared by reacting Compound I (wherein R.sub.3 =H) with bases such as sodium, potassium and calcium hydroxides or bicarbonates in stoichiometric amounts, and they may also be prepared by reacting with organic bases such as amines. The salts thus formed are recovered by methods well-known in the art.
In order to illustrate the practice of the invention, the following examples are included. In the examples, temperatures are in degrees Centigrade.
