Description
In past studies, analogs of tetrahydrocannabinol have been found to exhibit antisecretory activity. However, these compounds in addition to their antisecretory activity, exhibited analgesic, sedative and antihypertensive activity. In attempting to provide compounds having antisecretory activity but not analgesic or antihypertensive activity, a series related to tetrahydrocannabinols, which lacked the pyran ring, were prepared.
By the present invention, it has been found that several piperidino resorcinols exhibit strong antisecretory activity without analgesic, sedative or antihypertensive activity.
SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION
The present invention provides compositions which exhibit antisecretory activity and include as the active ingredient, a 2-(N-substituted piperidino)-5-alkyl resorcinol of the structure: ##STR2## wherein R.sub.1 is H, loweralkyl, loweralkynyl or arylloweralkyl; and R.sub.2 and R.sub.3 are each H or when taken together R.sub.2 R.sub.3 .dbd.CH.sub.2 CH.sub.2 ; R.sub.4 is a C.sub.1 -C.sub.10 alkyl; R.sub.5 is H or loweralkyl; and the dotted line indicates an optional double bond in the 4-5 or the 5-6 position, and the pharmaceutically acceptable salts thereof.
DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION
This invention relates to piperidino resorcinols and more particularly to 2-(N-substituted piperidino)-5-alkyl resorcinols. The compounds of the present invention are represented above by formula I. These compounds are useful as antisecretory agents.
As used herein, the term "loweralkyl" refers to C.sub.1 -C.sub.6 straight or branched chain alkyl groups including methyl, ethyl, n-propyl, iso-propyl, n-butyl, sec-butyl, tert-butyl, n-pentyl, iso-pentyl, neo-pentyl, n-hexyl and the like.
The term "loweralkynyl", as used herein, refers to C.sub.2 -C.sub.6 alkyl groups from which two hydrogen atoms have been removed from each of two adjacent carbon atoms to produce acetylenic unsaturation, e.g., ethynyl, propargyl, 2-butynyl, 1-pentyl and the like.
The term "C.sub.1 -C.sub.10 alkyl" refers to straight and branched chain alkyl radicals having from 1 to 10 carbon atoms such as methy, pentyl, hexyl, n-heptyl and the like.
As used herein, the term "arylloweralkyl" refers to an alkyl group of 1 to 6 carbon atoms where one of the hydrogen atoms of the alkyl group is substituted by a phenyl group.
The compounds of this invention exhibit oral antisecretory activity at dosages from 1.0 to 30.0 mg/kg of body weight.
The compounds of the present invention may be prepared by means of a variety of methods. For example, the 2-(substituted piperidino)-5-alkyl resorcinols can generally be prepared by reacting either a 5-substituted resorcinol or a 3-methoxy-5-substituted phenol (2) with (a 2,6-substituted) N-substituted-4-piperidone (3) to provide a 2-(N-substituted-1,2,3,6-tetrahydro-4-pyridyl)-5-alkyl resorcinol (4) as illustrated below wherein the substituents have the previously defined meanings, except that R.sub.1 is not benzyl or H: ##STR3##
In a similar manner, a 2-(N-benzyl-1,2,3,6-tetrahydro-4-pyridyl)-5-alkyloxy phenol (5) may be prepared by reacting a 5-substituted resorcinol (2) with a N-benzyl-4-piperidone which in turn can be hydrogenated to produce the compound with R.sub.1 .dbd.H (6) as illustrated in the following diagram below:
The following examples further illustrate the compounds of this invention. Among the materials used, olivetol was commercially available, the 5-(1,2-dimethylheptyl) resorcinol was prepared according to the method described by Adams et al., J. Am. Chemical Soc., 70, 664 (1948) and 1-isopropyl-4-piperidone was prepared according to the method described in Ziering et al., J. Org. Chem., 12, 894 (1947).

EXAMPLE XXXI
Antisecretory Activity of Piperidino Resorcinols and Related Compounds in the Pylorous Ligated Rat Model
To determine the antisecretory activity of the present compounds, the compounds were tested for such activity in pylorous ligated rats. In this test, male Sprague-Dawley rats weighing 170-190 g. were fasted for 24 hours. Water was allowed ad libitum. All groups were comprised of six rats. Thirty minutes prior to ligation, the test compound was administered at an oral dose of 50 mg./kg. Water was withheld after drug administration. Ligation of the pyrloric sphincter was performed under ether anesthesia, and four hours after ligation the animals were sacrificed with CO.sub.2. The stomach was dissected out and the contents were expelled into a graduated centrifuge tube. The samples were centrifuged and the volume, less debris, was measured. Sample aliquots were titrated with 0.05 N NaOH to determine acid concentration. Pepsin activity was determined on an auto analyzer using hemoglobin as the substrate by the method of Anson. Group means for volume, acid and pepsin concentrations, and pepsin outputs were compared for statistically significant differences from control means by Student's t-test. The results are recorded, below, in Table 1.
EXAMPLE XXXII
In addition to the test described in Example XXXVI, some of the present compounds were tested in dogs.
In this test, female beagle dogs weighing 5.5-7.5 kg. were surgically provided with gastric fistulas at the ventral wall of the stomach near the greater curvature and just proximal to the antrum. The animals were allowed to recover for three to four weeks before handling and training were begun, and experiments were started six to eight weeks after surgery. The individually housed dogs were fasted for 20-24 hours before use. Water was allowed ad lib. Treatment selection was determined by a randomized schedule which included control groups given vehicle (0.5% Methocel.RTM. solution) only. During the test period each dog was secured in a standing position with one collar around the neck and another around the lower abdomen. Before drug administration, the cannula plug of the gastric fistula was removed and the pH of the gastric juice was checked. Animals with acidic gastric juice (pH 4.0 or less) were replaced with alternate dogs. Then the drug was administered intragastrically (i.e.) through a special gastric cannula instillation plug, 30 minutes prior to subcutaneous administration of a gastric stimulant (pentagastrin, 10 .mu.g/kg).
For each dog, collection of gastric juice was begun immediately after administration of the gastric stimulant and continued for two hours. The volumes of collected gastric juices were measured. The acid concentration and pepsin activity were determined for all samples by automated procedures. For the dog data, as recorded in Table 2, below, group means for volume (ml), acid concentration (acidity, mEq/l), pepsin concentration (mg/ml), acid output (mEq/2 hr), and pepsin output (mg/2 hr) were compared with the respective control means using Student's t-test. The results were also expressed as percent inhibition of the respective individual mean control values.
Group means for volume, acid and pepsin concentrations, acid and pepsin outputs were compared for statistically significant differences from control means by Student's t-test.
Among the pharmaceutically acceptable acid addition salts useful in conjunction with the present compounds, the following are the most common ones producing the desired antisecretory results: hydrochloric, sulfuric, phosphoric, citric, succinic, and acidic acids. Of course, those skilled in the art will readily be able to determine other usable acids to make pharmaceutically acceptable salts of the claimed compounds.
