SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION
Compounds having the formula ##STR18## wherein R is a radical of the formula ##STR19## in which R.sup.1 and R.sup.2 are alike or different and are each hydrogen, chloro, bromo, fluoro, (lower)alkyl, nitro, trifluoromethyl, hydroxy or (lower)alkoxy, R.sup.3 is hydrogen, chloro, bromo, fluoro, (lower)alkyl, hydroxy or (lower)alkoxy, n is an integer of 2 to 4 inclusive and R.sup.4 and R.sup.5 are alike or different and each is hydrogen, (lower)alkyl or, when taken together with the nitrogen, a radical of the formula ##STR20## in which R.sup.6 is (lower)alkyl, and pharmaceutically acceptable acid addition salts thereof are anti-arrhythmic agents.
Cardiac arrhythmia, a phenomenon commonly associated with coronary heart disease or myocardial infarction, is an affliction not uncommon in humans, especially the elderly. The mechanism of cardiac arrhythmia is suspected to be caused by an abnormal "focus" in the ventricle of the heart which sends out (fires) nerve signals more rapidly than required for the normal beating of the heart. Uncontrolled arrhythmia can lead to fibrillation which results in death.
It has now been discovered that the compounds of formula I are useful therapeutic or prophylactic agents in the suppression of the abnormal ectopic beat.
Compound I can theoretically exist in several isomeric forms, namely:
A. endo-heterocyclic-carbonyloxy: endo-substituted imide;
B. exo-heterocyclic-carbonyloxy: exo-substituted imide;
C. endo-heterocyclic-carbonyloxy: exo-substituted imide; and
D. exo-heterocyclic-carbonyloxy: endo-substituted imide.
Furthermore, each of these isomers has two optical isomers: levorotatory and dextrorotatory.
The distinction between the isomers is determined by the relative position of the constituent bonds at positions 2, 3 and 5 of the bicyclo ring system.
When these bonds, i.e., the constituent bonds at positions 2, 3 and 5 are on the same side as the C.sub.7 bridge, we have the exo-exo isomer. When these bonds, i.e., the constituent bonds at positions 2, 3 and 5, are on the opposite side of the C.sub.7 bridge or, alternatively, within the cage formed by carbon atoms 2, 3, 5 and 6, then we have the endo-endo isomer. When the constituent bond at position 5 is on the same side as the C.sub.7 bridge and the constituent bonds 2 and 3 are on the opposite side of the C.sub.7 bridge, we have the endo-exo isomer. Illustrative of the exo-exo isomer is the compound having the formula ##STR21##
Illustrative of endo-endo is the compound of formula I.
The only isomers claimed in this invention are the endo-endo isomers as represented by compound I and the dextro- and levorotatory isomers thereof. The endo-endo isomers are inherently exclusively produced by the synthesis described herein.
The optical isomers of I can be separated and isolated by fractional crystallization of the diastereoisomeric salts formed, for instance, with (+) or (-)-tartaric acid or D-(+)camphor sulfonic acid (see general procedure in Belgian Patent No. 833,385).
Alternatively, and preferably, the optical isomers of compound I can be prepared by resolving starting material compound III by the fractional crystallization of the diastereoisomeric salts formed, for instance, with (+) or (-) tartaric or D-(+)camphorsulfonic acid, followed by esterification to produce compound I.
For the purpose of this disclosure, the term "(lower)alkyl" is defined as an alkyl radical containing 1 to 6 carbon atoms. The alkyl radical can be branched or straight chained, e.g., n-propyl, isopropyl, etc. The representation --(C.sub.n H.sub.2n)-- in which n is 2 to 4 is meant to include all variations of the radical, e.g., --CH.sub.2 --CH.sub.2 --CH.sub.2 --, ##STR22## The term "(lower)alkoxy" is an alkoxy radical containing 1 to 6 carbon atoms. The term "pharmaceutically acceptable acid addition salt" is defined to include all those inorganic and organic acid salts of the compounds of the instant invention, which salts are commonly used to produce nontoxic salts of medicinal agents containing amine functions. Illustrative examples would be those salts formed by mixing the compounds I with hydrochloric, sulfuric, nitric, phosphoric, phosphorous, hydrobromic, maleic, malic, ascorbic, citric or tartaric, pamoic, lauric, stearic, palmitic, oleic, myristic, laurylsulfonic, naphthalenesulfonic, linoleic or linolenic acid, and the like.
A preferred embodiment of the present invention is the compound having the formula ##STR23## wherein R is a radical of the formula ##STR24## in which R.sup.1 and R.sup.2 are alike or different and are each hydrogen, chloro, bromo, fluoro, (lower)alkyl, nitro, trifluoromethyl, hydroxy or (lower)alkoxy, R.sup.3 is hydrogen, chloro, bromo, fluoro, (lower)alkyl, hydroxy or (lower)alkoxy, n is an integer of 2 to 4 inclusive and R.sup.4 and R.sup.5 are alike or different and each is hydrogen, (lower)alkyl or, when taken together with the nitrogen, a radical of the formula ##STR25## in which R.sup.6 is (lower)alkyl; or a pharmaceutically acceptable acid addition salt thereof.
A more preferred embodiment of the present invention is the compound having the formula ##STR26## wherein R is a radical of the formula ##STR27## in which R.sup.1 is hydrogen, chloro, bromo, fluoro, (lower)alkyl, nitro, trifluoromethyl, hydroxy or (lower)alkoxy with the proviso that the quinoline ring may not be substituted at positions 2, 3 or 4 by nitro or trifluoromethyl, n is an integer of 2 to 4 inclusive and R.sup.4 and R.sup.5 are alike or different and are each hydrogen, (lower)alkyl or, when taken together with the nitrogen, a radical of the formula ##STR28## in which R.sup.6 is (lower)alkyl; or a pharmaceutically acceptable acid addition salt thereof. Especially preferred compounds of the above formula are those where (a) n is an integer of 2 to 4 inclusive and R.sup.4 and R.sup.5 are alike or different and each is hydrogen or (lower)alkyl; (b) n is an integer of 2 to 4 inclusive and R.sup.4 and R.sup.5 are alike or different and each is hydrogen, methyl, ethyl or isopropyl; and (c) n is 3 and R.sup.4 and R.sup.5 are each methyl.
A most preferred embodiment of the present invention is the compound having the formula ##STR29## wherein R is a radical of the formula ##STR30## n is an integer of 2 to 4 inclusive and R.sup.4 and R.sup.5 are alike or different and are each hydrogen, (lower)alkyl or, when taken together with the nitrogen, a radical of the formula ##STR31## in which R.sup.6 is (lower)alkyl; or a pharmaceutically acceptable acid addition salt thereof. Especially preferred compounds of the above formula are those where (a) n is an integer of 2 to 4 inclusive and R.sup.4 and R.sup.5 are alike or different and each is hydrogen or (lower)alkyl; (b) n is an integer of 2 to 4 inclusive and R.sup.4 and R.sup.5 are alike or different and each is hydrogen, methyl, ethyl or isopropyl; and (c) n is 3 and R.sup.4 and R.sup.5 are each methyl.
The most preferred compounds of the present invention are:
(a) the compound of the formula ##STR32## or a pharmaceutically acceptable acid addition salt thereof, most particularly the hydrochloride salt thereof;
(b) the compound of the formula ##STR33## or a pharmaceutically acceptable acid addition salt thereof, most particularly the hydrochloride salt thereof;

(f) the compound of the formula ##STR37## or a pharmaceutically acceptable acid addition salt thereof, most particularly the hydrochloride salt thereof.
The compounds and salts of formula I and the various preferred embodiments described above can exist in the form of a racemic mixture of levorotatory and dextrorotatory optical isomers or in the form of the essentially pure levorotatory (-) isomers or dextrorotatory (+) isomers. Both the racemic and resolved forms of the compounds and salts are included within the scope of the present invention.
The compounds of formula I may be prepared by acylating one mole of an alcohol of the formula ##STR38## wherein n is an integer of 2 to 4 inclusive, R.sup.4 and R.sup.5 are alike or different and each is hydrogen, (lower)alkyl or, when taken together with the nitrogen, a radical of the formula ##STR39## in which R.sup.6 is (lower)alkyl with at least one mole of an acid halide of the formula ##STR40## wherein R' is a radical of the formula ##STR41## in which R.sup.1 and R.sup.2 are alike or different and each is hydrogen, chloro, bromo, fluoro, (lower)alkyl, nitro, trifluoromethyl, hydroxy or (lower)alkoxy, R.sup.3 is hydrogen, chloro, bromo, fluoro, (lower)alkyl, hydroxy or (lower)alkoxy and X is chloro, bromo, or iodo, but preferably chloro, or its chemical equivalent as an acylating agent, in an inert organic solvent and at a temperature in the range of about 0.degree. C. to 100.degree. C.
Preparation of the alcohol starting materials of formula III is disclosed in Belgian Patent 833,385 and in U.S. Pat. No. 3,850,921.
Examples of suitable inert organic solvents for use in the above process include aprotic organic solvents such as benzene, toluene, xylene, pyridine, methylene chloride, chloroform, acetonitrile or dioxane, or mixtures thereof.
The acylation may be conducted over a wide temperature range, e.g. 0.degree. C. to about 100.degree. C., and is conveniently carried out at the reflux temperature of the solvent system employed.
For the purpose of this invention, the term "chemical equivalent as an acylating agent" is meant to include all those agents commonly known in the art to be useful for the esterification of alcohols, for example, acid anhydrides and mixed acid anhydrides. The preferred acylating agents for preparing most of the compounds of formula I are the acid halides, most preferably the acid chlorides. To prepare the compounds of formula I, however, where R.sup.1, R.sup.2 or R.sup.3 are hydroxy, it is preferred to use an imidazolide acylating agent formed by reaction of the desired carboxylic acid starting material with N,N'-carbonyl-diimidazole. Use of this procedure avoids side reactions during acylation and results in greatly improved yields of the desired hydroxy-substituted esters. An alternative preferred procedure for preparing hydroxy-substituted compounds comprises blocking the hydroxy functional group(s) of the starting carboxylic acid by a conventional blocking group, e.g. a benzyl group, converting the so-protected carboxylic acid to a carboxylic acid halide, e.g. acid chloride, esterifying the alcohol of formula III with the acid halide and removing the hydroxy-protecting group from the product ester, e.g. by catalytic hydrogenation to remove a benzyl group, to give the desired hydroxy-substituted product.
To prepare compounds of formula I where R.sup.4 and R.sup.5 are each hydrogen, i.e. the primary amine compounds, the preferred procedure involves acylation of the acid halide or chemical equivalent with the desired alcohol of the formula ##STR42## where x is an integer of 1 to 3 to produce a nitrile ester intermediate and then reduction of the nitrile group of said intermediate, e.g. by catalytic hydrogenation over a Pd/C catalyst, to give the primary amine end-product.
A preferred procedure for preparing compounds of formula I in which R.sup.4 is hydrogen and R.sup.5 is (lower)alkyl (or vice versa) comprises acylation with the desired carboxylic acid halide or chemical equivalent of an alcohol starting ##STR43## followed by hydrogenolysis of the so-produced intermediate to give the desired secondary amine ester.
The compounds of formula I may be prepared in the free base form or in the form of a pharmaceutically acceptable acid addition salt thereof, e.g. by treatment of the free base compound in a suitable solvent with a pharmaceutically acceptable acid. Alternatively, the acid addition salts of formula I may be converted to the corresponding free base compounds by neutralization, e.g. with Na.sub.2 CO.sub.3.
The compounds of the present invention were tested in dogs for anti-arrhythmic activity. Anesthetized dogs were used for the production of ouabain-induced ventricular arrhythmias. The arrhythmia consisted of a nodal or ventricular tachycardia. The procedure used to establish the arrhythmia as well as the criteria employed to determine anti-arrhythmic activity generally was that employed by Lucchesi, et al..sup.1.
Anti-arrhythmic activity of the compounds of Examples 1-5 and 7 was determined by rapid intravenous injection and compared to lidocaine and procainamide, two commercial anti-arrhythmic agents. The ED.sub.100 (mg./kg.) values for these compounds are shown below.
The compounds of formula I are useful in the treatment of cardiac arrhythmia in mammals, including man, as prophylactic or therapeutic agents in doses in the range of 0.25 mg. to 3.0 mg./kg. up to 3 to 4 times a day. They may be administered either orally or parenterally. Additionally, the compound of Example 7, i.e. 5-endo-(2-hydroxyquinoline-4-carbonyloxy)-N-(3-dimethylaminopropyl)-bicycl o-[2.2.1]heptane-2,3-di-endo carboxylic acid imide hydrochloride (and its free base and other salts) exhibits hypotensive activity in mammals when administered parenterally in doses of from about 1 to 5 mg./kg. up to 3 to 4 times a day.
In preparing the anti-arrhythmic compounds of the present invention, other compounds were synthesized having the general formula ##STR44## where R is a bicyclic heteroaromatic radical. Quabain arrhythmia (ED.sub.100) data in anesthetized dogs is shown below for three such compounds:
The above data clearly shows the importance of the heterocyclic "R" group in the compounds of general formula I and the unobvious nature of the present invention in discovering those particular heterocyclic rings which result in pharmaceutically useful anti-arrhythmic agents.
The following examples are given in illustration of but not in limitation of, the present invention. All temperatures are in degrees Centigrade. The starting material alcohols, i.e. the 5-endo-hydroxy-N-[amino(lower)alkyl]bicyclo[2.2.1]heptane-2,3-di-endo-carb oxylic acid imides, and the end products mentioned in the examples are racemic (.+-.) mixtures of the dextrorotatory and levorotatory optical isomers unless otherwise indicated.
EXAMPLE 1
5-endo-(2-Quinaldoyloxy)-N-(3-dimethylaminopropyl)-bicyclo-[2.2.1]heptane-2 ,3-di-endo carboxylic acid imide hydrochloride (BL-4726 A) ##STR49##
A mixture of quinaldic acid (6.92 g., 0.04 mole) and thionyl chloride (6 ml.) in dry CH.sub.2 Cl.sub.2 (75 ml.) was refluxed for 2 hours, giving a bright red solution. Removal of excess reagent and solvent under reduced pressure afforded the crude acid chloride. This acid chloride (7.24 g., 0.04 mole) was dissolved in dry CH.sub.2 Cl.sub.2 (50 ml.) and 5-endo-hydroxy-N-(3-dimethylaminopropyl)-bicyclo[2.2.1]heptane-2,3-di-endo carboxylic acid imide (5.32 g., 0.02 mole) was added, followed by 20 ml. of dry pyridine. A deep violet color developed and the mixture was stirred at 23.degree. for 72 hr. The reaction mixture was then diluted with CH.sub.2 Cl.sub.2 (100 ml.) and 5% Na.sub.2 CO.sub.3 solution (200 ml.). The layers were separated and the CH.sub.2 Cl.sub.2 layer was washed with two additional 100 ml. portions of 5% Na.sub.2 CO.sub.3. The organic layer was dried (MgSO.sub.4) and stripped of solvent to give a dark oil. Extraction of the aqueous washes with two portions of ethyl acetate yielded a red solid after removal of solvent. The oil and solid were combined and treated with refluxing isopropyl alcohol. Cooling gave the free base of the title product as a light red solid (mp. 141.degree.-142.degree. ). Treatment with HCl.sub.g in ethyl acetate gave the hydrochoride salt (2.86 g., 31.5%). Recrystallization from ethyl acetate-acetonitrile afforded an analytical sample of the title product (mp. 204.degree.-205.degree. ).

Benzothiophene-3-carboxylic acid was prepared from 3-acetyl benzothiophene (Bull. Soc. Chim. France, p. 1534, 1961) according to the method disclosed in U.K. Patent No. 944,417. This acid (2.5 g., 0.014 mole) was converted to the acid chloride according to the procedure used in Example 1. The crude acid chloride (2.7 g., 0.014 mole) was then dissolved in dry CH.sub.2 Cl.sub.2 (50 ml.). Dry pyridine (3 drops) and 5-endo-hydroxy-N-(3-dimethylaminopropyl)-bicyclo[2.2.1]heptane-2,3-di-endo carboxylic acid imide (2.7 g., 0.01 mole) were then added and the mixture was stirred at reflux for 70 hr. Solvent removal under reduced pressure, two recrystallizations of the resultant residue from ethanol, and treatment with boiling ethyl acetate afforded analytical material after drying under high vaccum over P.sub.2 O.sub.5 (2.6 g., 52%, mp. 246.degree.-250.degree. ).

2-Hydroxycinchoninic acid (1.89 g., 0.001 mole) was suspended in dry CH.sub.2 Cl.sub.2 (60 ml.) and thionyl chloride (3.0 ml.) was added, followed by 1 ml. of dry dimethylformamide. The mixture was stirred at reflux for 16 hr., giving a homogeneous yellow solution. Stripping of solvents and excess reagent gave the crude chloro acid chloride. The acid chloride (2.2 g.) and 5-endo-hydroxy-N-(3-dimethylaminopropyl)-bicyclo[2.2.1]heptane-2,3-di-endo carboxylic acid imide (2.5 g., 0.0094 mole) were then dissolved in dry CH.sub.2 Cl.sub.2 (50 ml.) and dry pyridine (1 ml.) and stirred at reflux for 2 hr. The dark red solution was then stripped of solvent and the residual gum was dissolved in 100% ethanol, treated with HCl.sub.g and stripped to dryness. Trituration of the semisolid residue with 1:1 ethyl acetate:absolute ethanol yielded a solid (1.487 g., 32%). Recrystallization from 100% ethanol-methanol gave an analytical sample of title product (mp. 273.degree.- 275.degree. d.).

Cooling deposited the chloro acid chloride as yellow crystals. After filtration, the acid chloride (0.687 g.) was mixed with 5-endo-hydroxy-N-(3-dimethylaminopropyl)-bicyclo[2.2.1]heptane-2,3-di-endo carboxylic acid imide (0.8 g., 0.003 mole) in dry CH.sub.2 Cl.sub.2 (20 ml.) containing 0.5 ml. of dry pyridine. After stirring at 23.degree. under an N.sub.2 atmosphere for 18 hr., the red solution was stripped to dryness under reduced pressure. The resultant red gum was dissolved in 25 ml. of 100% ethanol from which the title product (0.872 g., 58.9%) separated upon standing at 23.degree.. Recrystallization from 100% ethanol gave the pure material as colorless needles (mp. 172.degree.-178.degree.).

This intermediate (0.83 g., 3.47 mmole) was then suspended in dry tetrachloroethane (75 ml.) along with 5-endo-hydroxy-N-(3-dimethylaminopropyl)-bicyclo[2.2.1]heptane-2,3-di-endo carboxylic acid imide (0.665 g., 2.5 mmole) and heated with stirring to 60.degree.. Hydrogen chloride was then bubbled into the solution causing a temperature rise to approximately 72.degree. lasting for about 5 minutes and a small quantity of yellow solid precipitated initially and then redissolved. Heating at 85.degree. with HCl addition was continued for 40 minutes, followed by heating at 105-110.degree. for 6 hrs. The solvent was then removed under reduced pressure and the gummy residue was partitioned between ethyl acetate and 5% NaNCO.sub.3 solution. The organic layer was washed with water and brine and then dried over anhydrous MgSO.sub.4. Solvent removal and trituration of the resultant semisolid gum with 3:1 diethyl ether:ethyl acetate gave the free base of the title produce as a pale yellow solid (0.505 g., 46.2%). The hydrochloride salt was formed in the usual manner (addition of HCl gas) in 1:1 ethanol: methanol and recrystallized from 3:1 ethanol:methanol (mp. 290.degree.-292.degree. d.).

General Method for the Resolution of the racemic 5-endo-(heterocyclic-carbonyloxy)-N-[amino(lower)alkyl]-bicyclo[2.2.1]hept ane-2,3-di-endo carboxylic acid imides into their (+) and (-) enantiomers.
1. Treatment of the racemic base (prepared, e.g. by neutralization of the hydrochloride salt with Na.sub.2 CO.sub.3) with (+)-10 camphor-sulfonic acid in ethanol-water gives the diastereoisomeric salt of the (-)-isomer. Decomposition of this salt with aqueous sodium carbonate produces the (-)-enantiomer which may be converted to the hydrochloride salt with ethanolic hydrogen chloride.
2. The mother liquor from step (1) is concentrated to leave a mixture of the diastereoisomeric salts. Neutralization of this mixture with aqueous sodium carbonate gives a mixture of the (+)-and (-)-isomers, which was greatly enriched in the (+)-enantiomer. The mixture is purified through diastereoisomer formation with (-)-tartaric acid to give the salt of (-)-tartaric acid with the (+)-enantiomer which is subsequently decomposed to produce the (+)-enantiomer.
