Description
This invention relates to ethylene derivatives, in particular to pharmacologically active 1,1-diaminoethylene derivatives. These compounds are inhibitors of H-2 histamine receptors. In addition, this invention relates to pharmaceutical compositions comprising these compounds and to methods of inhibiting H-2 histamine receptors with these compounds. The compounds of the invention can exist as the addition salts but, for convenience, reference will be made throughout this specification to the parent compounds.
It has long been postulated that many of the physiologically active substances within the animal body, in the course of their activity, combine with certain specific sites known as receptors. Histamine is a compound which is believed to act in such a way but, since the actions of histamine fall into more than one type, it is believed that there is more than one type of histamine receptor. The type of action of histamine which is blocked by drugs commonly called "antihistamines" (of which mepyramine is a typical example) is believed to involve a receptor which has been designated as H-1. A further group of substances has been described by Black et al. (Nature 1972, 236, 385) which are distinguished by the fact that they act at histamine receptors other than the H-1 receptor and these other receptors have been designated at H-2 receptors. This latter group of substances, to certain of which the present invention relates, are thus of utility in inhibiting certain actions of histamine which are not inhibited by the above-mentioned "antihistamines", that is they are H-2 histamine receptor inhibitors. Inhibitors of H-2 histamine receptors are useful, for example, as inhibitors of gastric acid secretion. The substances of this invention may also be of utility as inhibitors of certain actions of gastrin.
In the treatment of certain conditions, for example inflammation, and in inhibiting the actions of histamine on blood pressure, combination of H-1 and H-2 receptor inhibitors is useful.
The 1,1-diaminoethylene derivatives with which the present invention is concerned may be represented by the following general formula: ##STR1## wherein X and Y, which may be the same or different, are hydrogen, nitro, cyano or SO.sub.2 Ar but are not both hydrogen or both nitro; R is Het'(CH.sub.2).sub.m.sbsb.1 Z'(CH.sub.2).sub.n.sbsb.1 ; Z and Z' are sulphur or methylene; m and m.sub.1 are 0, 1 or 2 and n and n.sub.1 are 2 or 3 provided that each of the sum of m and n and the sum of m.sub.1 and n.sub.1 is 3 or 4; Het is a pyridine ring which ring is optionally substituted by lower alkyl, hydroxyl, halogen or amino; Het' is a nitrogen containing 5 membered heterocyclic ring such as imidazole, oxazole, isoxazole, triazole, thiazole, isothiazole or thiadiazole which ring is optionally substituted by lower alkyl, hydroxyl, halogen or amino; and Ar is an aryl group such as phenyl optionally substituted by halogen or methyl or a pharmaceutically acceptable acid addition salt thereof.
It will be appreciated that m.sub.1, n.sub.1, and Z' in R need not have the identical significance as m, n and Z in the other part of the formula.
Throughout the present specification by the term "lower alkyl" we mean an alkyl group containing from 1 to 4 carbon atoms.
It will be understood that the structure illustrated in Formula I and in Formula I(a) below, is only one of several representations and that other tautomeric forms as shown in Formulae II and III and the other geometrical isomer shown in Formula IV are also covered by the present invention. In Formulae II to IV and I(a) R.sup.1 represents Het--(CH.sub.2).sub.m --Z(CH.sub.2).sub.n. ##STR2##
In a preferred group of compounds of Formula I, R is Het'--CH.sub.2 SCH.sub.2 CH.sub.2 Z is sulphur, m is 1 and n is 2. Most suitably Het' is imidazole, thiazole or isothiazole and is optionally substituted by methyl or halogen.
It is also preferred that X should be nitro and Y should be hydrogen.
Particular compounds of this invention are: 1-nitro-2-[2-((4-methyl-5-imidazolyl)methylthio)ethylamino]-2-[2-((3-chlor o-2-pyridyl)methylthio)ethylamino]ethylene and 1-nitro-2-[(2-thiazolylmethylthio)ethylamino]-2-[2-((3-chloro-2-pyridyl)me thylthio)ethylamino]ethylene.
A general method for the preparation of the compounds of the present invention is shown in the following scheme 1. ##STR3##
The starting material is a compound of Formula V wherein Q is sulphur or oxygen, preferably sulphur, and R.sup.2 is lower alkyl such as methyl, or aralkyl, such as benzyl, but is preferably methyl. This may be reacted with one equivalent of R.sup.1 NH.sub.2 or of RNH.sub.2, R.sup.1 and R have the same significance as in Formula I, to give respectively the compounds of Formulae VI(a) or VI(b) and then reacted with RNH.sub.2 or R.sup.1 NH.sub.2 respectively to give the compound of Formula I(a). The reactions described in Scheme 1 may be carried out in a suitable solvent or in the absence of a solvent at a moderately elevated temperature, for example at from 90.degree.-150.degree. C.
The intermediate of Formula V wherein Q is sulphur (see Formula V(a) in the following Scheme 2): ##STR4## may be formed from the substituted methane of Formula VII by treatment of the latter with a strong base such as sodium hydride or sodium hydroxide and reaction with carbon disulphide to give the compound of Formula VIII. Treatment of this substance with an alkyl or aralkyl halide of Formula R.sup.2 Hal gives the required compound of Formula V(a).
It will be appreciated that the final stage of the reactions shown in Scheme 1 may all be expressed by the following reaction: ##STR5## wherein B is RNH or R.sup.1 NH; D is R.sup.1 NH.sub.2 or RNH.sub.2 ; X, Y, R and R.sup.1 have the same significance as in Formula I(a) and Q and R.sup.2 have the same significance as in Formula V, provided that, when B is RNH, D must be R.sup.1 NH.sub.2.
As stated above, the compounds represented by Formula I have been found to have pharmacological activity in the animal body as antagonists to certain actions of histamine which are not blocked by "antihistamines" such as mepyramine.
For example they have been found to inhibit selectively the histamine-stimulated secretion of gastric acid from the perfused stomachs of rats anaesthetised with urethane at doses of from 0.5 to 256 micromoles per kilogram intravenously. Similarly, the action of these compounds is demonstrated by their antagonism to the effects of histamine on other tissues which, according to the above-mentioned paper of Black et al., are H-2 receptors. Examples of such tissues are perfused isolated guinea-pig atrium and isolated rat uterus. The compounds of the invention have also been found to inhibit the secretion of gastric acid stimulated by pentagastrin or by food.
The level of activity found for the compounds of the present invention is illustrated by the effective dose range in the anaesthetised rat, as mentioned above of from 0.5 to 256 micromoles per kilogram, intravenously. Many of the compounds of the present invention produce a 50% inhibition in this test at a dose of from 1 to 10 micromoles per kilogram.
For therapeutic use, the pharmacologically active compounds of the present invention will normally be administered as a pharmaceutical composition comprising as the or an essential active ingredient at least one such compound in the basic form or in the form of an addition salt with a pharmaceutically acceptable acid and in association with a pharmaceutical carrier therefor. Such addition salts include those with hydrochloric, hydrobromic, hydriodic, sulphuric and maleic acids and may conveniently be formed from the corresponding bases of Formula I by standard procedures, for example by treating the base with an acid in a lower alkanol.
Pharmaceutical compositions comprising a pharmaceutical carrier and a compound of Formula I or a pharmaceutically acceptable acid addition salt thereof and methods of inhibiting H-2 histamine receptors which comprise administering a compound of Formula I or a pharmaceutically acceptable acid addition salt thereof are also objects of this invention. The pharmaceutical carrier employed may be, for example, either a solid or liquid. Exemplary of solid carriers are lactose, terra alba, sucrose, talc, gelatin, agar, pectin, acacia, magnesium stearate, stearic acid and the like. Exemplary of liquid carriers are syrup, peanut oil, olive oil, water and the like.
A wide variety of pharmaceutical forms can be employed. Thus, if a solid carrier is used, the preparation can be tableted, placed in a hard gelatin capsule in powder or pellet form, or in the form of a troche or lozenge. The amount of solid carrier will vary widely but preferably will be from about 25 mg to about 1 gm. If a liquid carrier is used, the preparation may be in the form of a syrup, emulsion, soft gelatin capsule, sterile injectable liquid such as an ampoule, or an aqueous or nonaqueous liquid suspension.
The pharmaceutical compositions are prepared by conventional techniques involving procedures such as mixing, granulating and compressing or dissolving the ingredients as appropriate to the desired preparation.
The active ingredient will be present in the composition in an effective amount to inhibit histamine activity. The route of administration may be orally or parenterally.
Preferably, each dosage unit will contain the active ingredient in an amount of from about 50 to about 250 mg, most preferably from about 100 to about 200 mg.
The active ingredient will preferably be administered in equal doses of one to three times per day. The daily dosage regimen will preferably be from about 150 to about 750 mg, most preferably from about 300 to about 600 mg.
Other pharmacologically active compounds may in certain cases be included in the composition. Advantageously the composition will be made up in a dosage unit form appropriate to the desired mode of administration, for example as a tablet, capsule or injectable solution. The invention is illustrated but in no way limited by the following examples:

After stirring at 0.degree. for a further 21/2 hours, the resulting yellow solution was cooled with an ice-salt bath and a solution of 4-methyl-5-chloromethyloxazole (0.86 g) in ethanol (5 ml) was added dropwise over 10 minutes. After addition the mixture was stirred at room temperature overnight, then acidified with ethanolic hydrogen chloride and evaporated to dryness. Addition of water precipitated unreacted phthalimidoethanethiol (0.6 g) which was removed by filtration.
