Description
This invention relates to new and useful compositions of matter classifiable in the field of organic chemistry as dibenzothiazepines. More particularly, the instant invention relates to a novel group of dibenzo[b,f][1,4]thiazepines, to methods of preparing such compounds; and to methods of employing them in the treatment and control of allergic conditions such as asthma.
In its composition aspect, therefore, the instant invention may be described as residing in the concept of isomeric dibenzo[b,f][1,4]thiazepines characterized by having the following structural formulae: ##STR1## wherein Z is a member selected from the group consisting of thio, sulfinyl, or sulfonyl;
X is a member selected from the group consisting of O and H.sub.2 ;
R.sub.4 is a member selected from the group consisting of hydrogen, morpholino and piperidino,
R.sub.2 and R.sub.3 are the same or different and are members selected from the group consisting of hydrogen, halogen, nitro, loweralkyl, amino, N-loweralkylamino, N,N-diloweralkylamino, loweralkanoyl, hydroxy, loweralkoxy, loweralkylthio, trifluoromethylthio, loweralkylsulfinyl, loweralkylsulfonyl and trifluoromethyl; and
R.sub.1 is a member selected from the group consisting of 5-tetrazolyl, 5-tetrazolylmethyl, 3-hydroxy-1,2,5-thiazol-4-yl, 4-hydroxy-.DELTA..sup.3 -pyrroline-3-yl-2,5-dione and ##STR2## wherein n is an integer from 0 to 4 and
R.sub.5 is a member selected from the group consisting of hydroxy, loweralkoxy, N,N-diloweralkylaminoloweralkoxy, carboxyloweralkoxy, amino, N-loweralkylamino, N,N-diloweralkylamino, loweralkylsulfonylamino, carboxyloweralkylamino, carboxamidoloweralkylamino, and
2-imino-3-methylthiazolidine; and the pharmaceutically acceptable salts thereof.
As used herein, the term, halogen (or halo), includes chlorine, bromine, iodine and fluorine. Unless otherwise specifically stated, the terms, loweralkyl and loweralkoxy, include straight and branched chain alkyl and alkoxy groups having 1 to 4 carbon atoms in the alkyl or alkoxy moiety such as, for example, methyl, ethyl, n-propyl, isopropyl, n-butyl, methoxy, ethoxy, n-propoxy and isobutoxy. The term, loweralkanoyl, includes straight or branched chain alkanoyl groups having 1 to 4 carbon atoms in the alkanoyl moiety such as, for example, formyl, acetyl, propanoyl, isobutyryl and isobutyryl.
The instant invention is based upon applicant's discovery that the thiazepines of Formula I, IA, II and IIA, above, markedly antagonize the actions of contractile prostaglandins such as PGF.sub.2, PGG.sub.2, PGH.sub.2 and TXA.sub.2. The use of the thiazepines of this invention, which act as prostaglandin antagonists and biosynthetic inhibitors, offers a new approach to therapy in a variety of allergic conditions such as allergic asthma where excessive contractile activity of prostaglandins and prostaglandin biosynthetic intermediates occur. It is well known, for example, that prostaglandins such as PGF.sub.2.alpha., PGG.sub.2 PGH.sub.2 and TXA.sub.2, are potent contractants of bronchial muscle and that human asthmatics are especially sensitive to the bronchial constricting action of PGF.sub.2.alpha.. The antagonizing action of the thiazepines of this invention against the constricting actions of contractile prostaglandins has been confirmed in vitro and in vivo using standard pharmacological techniques. It is contemplated, therefore, that the thiazepines of this invention will be employed in dosage unit form as the essential active ingredient in pharmaceutical formulations intended for the treatment and control of allergic conditions such as asthma in humans and warm blooded animals.
The novel thiazepines of Formula I wherein Z is thio, X is oxygen and R.sub.1 is carboxy are prepared by treating an appropriate R.sub.2 and/or R.sub.3 -substituted o-aminothiophenol (R.sub.2 and R.sub.3 are as previously defined) with bromo terephthalic acid in a mixture of quinoline and pyridine in the presence of cuprous oxide. The reaction mixture is heated in an oil bath at 180.degree. C. for 10 to 14 hours. Upon acidification, the 3-carboxylic acid separates and is recovered by filtration. Conveniently the acid is purified by esterification and hydrolysis by treating the crude acid with methanol in the presence of acetyl chloride and hydrolyzing the methyl ester so produced with aqueous sodium hydroxide. These reactions are summarized in the following general reaction scheme wherein R.sub.2 and R.sub.3 are as defined above: ##STR3##
The novel thiazepines of Formula IA wherein Z is thio, X is oxygen and R.sub.1 is carboxy are prepared by treating an appropriate R.sub.2 and/or R.sub.3 -substituted o-iodobenzoic acid with the dipotassium salt of 4-amino-3-mercaptobenzoic acid. This reagent readily is prepared from 2-aminobenzothiazole-6-carboxylic acid (obtained by the procedure described in Ann., 558, pg. 29, 1947) by refluxing the thiazole in 50% aqueous potassium hydroxide for 2-4 hours. The cooled reaction mixture can be employed without further purification as the dipotassium salt. The iodobenzoic acid and dipotassium salt mixture is refluxed in the presence of copper metal powder for 1 to 3 hours to form the corresponding R.sub.2 and/or R.sub.3 -substituted 4-amino-3-(o-carboxyphenylthio)-benzoic acid which then is heated dry to 250.degree.-255.degree. C., preferably under an inert atmosphere, for 1-3 hours to form the desired 10,11-dihydro-11-oxodibenzo[b,f][1,4]thiazepin-7-carboxylic acid. If desired, the acid can be esterified using diazomethane in tetrahydrofuran, for example, and hydrolyzed as an aid to purification. These reactions are illustrated in the following general reaction scheme wherein R.sub.2 and R.sub.3 are as defined above: ##STR4##
The novel thiazepines of Formula I and IA wherein Z is thio, X is H.sub.2 and R.sub.1 is carboxy conveniently are prepared by treating any desired R.sub.2 and/or R.sub.3 -substituted methyl 10,11-dihydro-11-oxodibenzo[b,f][1,4]thiazepin-3(or 7)-carboxylate, a compound of Formula IV or IVA, with an equimolar mixture of phosphorous pentachloride in phosphorous oxychloride to form the corresponding methyl 11-chlorodibenzo[b,f][1,4]-thiazepin 3(or 7)-carboxylate. The reaction is carried out at room temperature and usually requires 1 to 3 hours for completion. Additional phosphorous pentachloride may be added to speed the reaction and to insure complete conversion of the starting material. The 11-chloro ester then is treated with a reducing agent such as sodium borohydride to form the corresponding methyl 10,11-dihydrodibenzo[b,f][1,4]thiazepin-3(or 7)-carboxylate which is hydrolyzed with aqueous potassium hydroxide to form the desired 10,11-dihydrodibenzo[b,f][1,4]thiazepin-3(or 7)-carboxylic acid. These reactions are illustrated by the following reaction scheme wherein R.sub.2 and R.sub.3 are as previously defined: ##STR5##
The novel thiazepines of Formula II and IIA wherein Z is thio, R.sub.4 is hydrogen and R.sub.1 is carboxy are prepared by treating any desired R.sub.2 and/or R.sub.3 substituted methyl 10,11-dihydrodibenzo[b,f][1,4]thiazepin-3(or 7)-carboxylate, a compound of Formula V or Va, with a solution of stannous chloride in ether which has been saturated with hydrogen chloride gas in order to obtain the corresponding methyl dibenzo[b,f][1,4]thiazepin-3(or 7)-carboxylate which is hydrolized with aqueous potassium hydroxide to form the desired dibenzo[b,f][1,4]thiazepin-3(or 7)-carboxylic acid. These reactions are illustrated by the following reaction scheme wherein R.sub.2 and R.sub.3 are previously defined: ##STR6##
The novel thiazepines of Formula II and IIA wherein Z is thio, R.sub.4 is morpholino and R.sub.1 is carboxy are prepared by treating any desired R.sub.2 and/or R.sub.3 substituted methyl 11-chlorodibenzo[b,f][1,4]thiazepin-3(or 7)-carboxylate, a compound of formula V or VA, with morpholine in order to form the corresponding methyl 11-morpholinodibenzo[b,f][1,4]thiazepin-3(or 7)-carboxylate. The reaction usually is carried out at reflux under an inert atmosphere, argon for example, and usually requires from 36 to 48 hours for completion. The 11-morpholino methyl carboxylate so produced then may be hydrolized with aqueous potassium hydroxide to form the desired 11-morpholinodibenzo[b,f][1,4]-thiazepin-3(or 7)-carboxylic acid. Where the 11-piperidino derivative is desired, it is necessary only to substitute pyridine for morpholine in the reactions described above. These reactions are illustrated by the following reaction scheme wherein R.sub.2 and R.sub.3 are as previously defined: ##STR7##
Formation of the 11-oxide or the 11,11-dioxide groups (e.g., preparation of the sulfinyl or sulfonyl compounds of the instant invention) conveniently is achieved by controlled oxidation techniques. Thus, for example, the 3-(or 7)-carboxylic acid derivatives of formula III or IIIA, or the corresponding 3-(or 7)-loweralkyl carboxylates, may be oxidized with hydrogen peroxide in the presence of an acidic solvent such as acetic acid or with organic peroxides such as peroxy acid, for example, m-chloroperbenzoic acid and the like, in a stepwise fashion to form the corresponding sulfinyl derivative, formula IX or IXA, and sulfonyl derivative, formula X or XA, by controlling the molar ratio of oxidant to reductant. The molar ratio determines the oxidation level of the sulfur in the product. A 1:1 molar ratio, for example, results largely in the production of the sulfinyl derivative whereas a 2 to 3 molar excess of oxidant results in a yield predominantly comprising the sulfonyl derivatives. ##STR8##
The oxidation technique described above is generally applicable to preparation of any of the sulfinyl or sulfonyl compounds of this invention from the corresponding thiazepin. Thus, for example, the 3-(or 7)-carboxylic acid compounds of formula VI or VIA, VII or VIIA and VIII or VIIIA, or the corresponding 3-(or 7)-loweralkyl carboxylates, may be subjected to controlled oxidation in order to obtain the corresponding sulfinyl and sulfonyl compounds.
In addition to their therapeutic properties as noted above, the 3-(or 7)-carboxylic acid derivatives of this invention serve as valuable intermediates in the preparation of other variously substituted dibenzo[b,f][1,4]thiazepines of Formula I, IA, II and IIA. Thus, for example, the 3-(or 7)-carboxylic acid of formula III or IIIA may be converted readily into the corresponding acid halide, preferably the acid chloride, by treating the carboxylic acid with a thionyl halide, preferably thionyl chloride. The resulting 3-(or 7)-halocarbonyl-10,11-dihydro-11-oxodibenzo[b,f][1,4]-thiazepine (i.e., the 3-(or 7)-chlorocarbonyl compounds of formula XI or XIA then may be treated with various well-known reagents to form desired ester and amide derivatives. These reactions are illustrated in the following reaction scheme wherein R.sub.2 and R.sub.3 are as previously defined, it being understood that they are equally applicable to the 3-(or 7)-carboxylic acids of formula VI or VIA, VII or VIIA and VIII or VIIIA. ##STR9##
Thus, for example, the chlorocarbonyl compounds of formula XI and XIA may be treated:
(a) with a loweralkanol such as, for example, methanol, ethanol, 2-propanol, butanol and 2-butanol, to form the corresponding loweralkyl esters, XII and XIIA: ##STR10##
(b) with ammonia to form the corresponding carboxamide, XIII and XIIIA: ##STR11##
(c) with an N-loweralkylamine such as, for example, methylamine, ethylamine, propylamine, isopropylamine and butylamine, or an N,N-diloweralkylamine such as, for example, dimethylamine, diethylamine, dipropylamine and dibutylamine, to form the corresponding N-loweralkylcarboxamide XIV or XIVA or N,N-diloweralkylcarboamide, XV or XVA: ##STR12##
(d) with a loweralkylsulphonamide such as, for example, methanesulphonamide, ethanesulphonamide, propanesulphonamide and butanesulphonamide, to form the corresponding N-loweralkylsulfonylcarboxamide, XVI or XVIA: ##STR13##
(e) with 2-imino-3-methylthiazolidine to form the corresponding (3-methyl-2-thiazolidinylidene)carboxamide, XVII and XVIIA: ##STR14##
(f) with a loweralkyldiol such as, for example ethylene glycol, trimethylene glycol and 1,4-butanediol, to form the corresponding hydroxyloweralkylester, XVIII and XVIIIA: ##STR15##
(g) with an N,N-diloweralkylaminoloweralkanol such as, for example, N,N-dimethylethanolamine, N,N-diethylethanolamine, 3-N,N-dimethylaminopropan-1-ol and 4-N,N-diethylaminobutan-1-ol, to form the corresponding N,N-diloweralkylaminoloweralkyl ester, XXI and XXIA: ##STR16##
(h) with an amino acid such as, for example, glycine, alanine and valine, to form the corresponding N-carboxyloweralkylcarboxamide, XXII and XXIIA: ##STR17##
(i) with an alkali metal salt of a hydroxyloweralkanoic acid such as, for example, hydroxyacetic acid, 3-hydroxybutyric acid and .beta.-hydroxypropionic acid, to form the corresponding carboxyloweralkyl ester, XXIII and XXIIIA: ##STR18##
Where the corresponding sulfinyl or sulfonyl derivatives are desired, the corresponding 11-oxide or 11,11-dioxide 3-(or 7)-carboxylic acid, a compound of Formula IX, IXA, X or XA, for example, may be substituted for starting material IV or IVA in the foregoing reaction sequence. Alternatively, it will be clear to those skilled in the art that the product esters and amides obtained in the foregoing reaction sequence may be oxidized by the techniques already described to obtain the corresponding sulfinyl or sulfonyl derivatives.
Those thiazepines of this invention wherein the substituent at the 3-(or 7)-position is 3-hydroxy-1,2,5-thiadiazol-4-yl are prepared by refluxing a 3-(or 7)-cyano intermediate (a compound of Formula XXIV or XXIVA, for example, prepared as hereinafter described) in formic acid in the presence of Raney nickel alloy for 1 to 2 hours in order to obtain the corresponding 10,11-dihydro-11-oxodibenzo-[b,f][1,4]thiazepin-3-(or 7)-carboxaldehyde. The aldehyde product then is converted into the corresponding 3-(or 7)-(2-aminoacetonitrile) by treatment with sodium cyanide in an alcoholic solvent saturated with ammonia and in the presence of ammonium chloride and ammonium hydroxide. The reaction usually is conducted at room temperature and requires from 8 to 16 hours for completion. The aminoacetonitrile so produced is treated with concentrated hydrochloric acid at room temperature for 20 to 45 minutes in order to obtain the corresponding 3-(or 7)-(2-aminoacetamide) which then is treated with sulfur monochloride in dimethylformamide to obtain the desired 3-(or 7)-(3-hydroxy-1,2,5-thiadiazol-4-yl)-10,11-dihydro-11-oxo-dibenzo[b,e][1,4 ]thiazepin of Formula XXV and XXVA. This reaction sequence is illustrated in the following diagram, it being understood that position of the 3-hydroxy-1,2,5-thiadiazol-4-yl substituent in the final product depends upon the selection of the appropriate 3-(or 7)-cyano starting material. ##STR19##
The 3-(or 7)-cyano intermediate, the compound of formula XXIV or XXIVA, employed as the starting material in the foregoing reaction scheme, is readily prepared by treating a 3-(or 7)-loweralkyl ester, preferably the methyl ester, derived from a 3-(or 7)-carboxylic acid of formula I, IA, II or IIA by techniques already described, in methanol saturated with ammonia gas for 18 to 36 hours at room temperature. The crude amide obtained after evaporation of the reaction mixture then is refluxed in ethylene chloride containing phosphorus oxychloride for 6 to 10 hours. The reaction mixture is diluted with water and the organic phase is separated and dried to obtain the cyano product. This reaction is illustrated in the following diagram, it being understood that the position of the 3-cyano group in the final product depends upon the selection of the appropriate 3-(or 7)-loweralkyl ester starting material. ##STR20##
The novel thiazepines of this invention wherein the substituent at the 3-(or 7)-position is 5-tetrazolyl also are prepared from the 3-(or 7)cyano intermediates of formula I, IA, II and IIA. The nitrile of formula XXIV or XXIVA, for example, is heated in a mixture of sodium azide and ammonium chloride in a suitable organic solvent such as dimethylformamide. Conveniently, the reaction is carried out at reflux and usually requires 4 to 12 hours for completion. After dilution with excess sodium carbonate and extraction with ethyl acetate, the aqueous phase is acidified to obtain the desired 3-(or 7)-(1H-tetrazol-5-yl)-10,11-dihydro-11-oxodibenzo[b,f][1,4]thiazepine of formula XXVI or XXVIA. The reaction is illustrated in the following reaction scheme wherein R.sub.2 and R.sub.3 are as defined above. ##STR21##
The novel thiazepines of this invention wherein the substituent at the 3-(or 7)-position is 4-hydroxy-.DELTA..sup.3 -pyrroline-3-yl-2,5-dione are prepared from the appropriately substituted 3-(or 7)-carboxylic acid by reducing the acid to the corresponding alcohol with borane in tetrahydrofuran. The reaction conveniently is carried out at room temperature under an inert atmosphere and usually requires 2 to 4 hours for completion. The alcohol then is brominated with phosphorus tribromide and the bromomethyl compound so produced is treated with sodium cyanide to form the corresponding 3-(or 7)-cyanomethyl derivative. These reactions may be carried out at room temperature and usually require from 1 to 3 hours for completion. The cyanomethyl intermediate then is hydrolyzed to the corresponding acetic acid which is treated with thionyl chloride followed by ammonia to form the corresponding 3-(or 7)-acetamide derivative by techniques already described. The acetamide then is treated with diethyl oxalate in dimethylformamide in the presence of potassium t-butoxide to form the desired 3-(or 7)-(4-hydroxy-.DELTA..sup.3 -yl-2,5 -dione)-dibenzo-[b,e][1,4]thiazepine, XXVII or XXVIIA.
This reaction sequence is illustrated in the diagram below, it again being understood that the position of the hydroxypyrrolindione in the final product depends upon the selection of the 3-(or 7)-carboxylic acid starting material. ##STR22##
Where corresponding sulfinyl or sulfonyl derivatives are desired, the products of the four reaction schemes described immediately above may be oxidized by the techniques already described.
It will be noted that the reaction sequence described above affords not only thiazepines of this invention wherein the substituent at the 3-(or 7)-position is 4-hydroxy-.DELTA..sup.3 -pyrroline-3-yl-2,5-dione, but, in Steps A-D, leads also to the preparation of those thiazepines of this invention wherein the substituent at the 3-(or 7)-position is a loweralkanoic acid (i.e. compounds of Formula I, IA, II, and IIA wherein R.sub.1 is ##STR23## n is an integer between 1 and 4 and R.sub.5 is hydroxy). Thus, Steps A-D, as described above, starting with the appropriately substituted 3-(or 7)-carboxylic acid, through reduction, bromination, cyanization and oxidation, affords the corresponding 3-(or 7) acetic acid derivative. Quite obviously, the described reduction, bromination, cyanization and oxidation sequence can be repeated, employing the 3-(or 7)-acetic acid derivative as starting material, in order to obtain the corresponding propionic acid derivative which, in turn, can be employed as starting material for preparing the corresponding butyric acid derivative. In this manner, any desired 3-(or 7)-loweralkanoic acid derivative of the instant invention readily is prepared. Corresponding sulfinyl or sulfonyl derivatives are prepared by the oxidation techniques previously described.
The 3-(or 7)-cyanoloweralkyl intermediates obtained from Steps A-C in the reaction sequence described above also serve as intermediates in the preparation of other therapeutically active thiazepines of Formula I, IA, II and IIA. Thus, for example, an appropriately substituted 3-(or 7)-cyanomethyl-10,11-dihydro-11-oxodibenzo[b,f][1,4]-thiazepine may be treated with sodium azide and ammonium by techniques previously described to form the corresponding 3-(or 7)-(1H-tetrazol-5-ylmethyl)-10,11-dihydro-11-oxodibenzo[b,f][1,4]thiazepin e and the product, if desired, can be oxidized to form the corresponding sulfinyl or sulfonyl derivative.
As noted above, pharmaceutically acceptable salts of the novel thiazepines also are included within the scope of this invention. The term, pharmaceutically acceptable salts, is intended to include salts derived from pharmaceutically acceptable non-toxic acids and bases such as, for example, ammonium salts, alkali metal salts such as sodium and potassium salts, alkaline earth metal salts such as magnesium and calcium salts, salts of organic bases such as amine salts derived from mono-, di and tri-loweralkyl or loweralkanoyl amines such as trimethylamine, dimethylamine and triethanolamine, salts derived from heterocyclic amines such as piperidine, piperazine and morpholine, and salts derived from pharmaceutically acceptable acids such as hydrochloric acid, sulfuric acid, tartaric acid and propionic acid.
The thiazepines of Formula I, IA, II and IIA are useful in the treatment and prophylaxis of human or warm-blooded animal disease conditions where excessive undesirable contractile activity of prostaglandins, such as PGF.sub.2a, or prostaglandin biosynthetic intermediates contribute. In particular, they are of value in the treatment and control of allergic conditions such as asthma.
The magnitude of a prophylactic or therapeutic dose of compound of Formula I, IA, II and IIA will, of course, vary with the nature and the severity of the condition to be treated and with the particular compound of Formula I, IA, II and IIA and its route of administration. In general, the dose range lies within the range of 0.2 mg. to 100 mg. per kg. body weight per day.
The pharmaceutical compositions of the present invention comprise a compound of Formula I, IA, II and IIA as an active ingredient, and may also contain pharmaceutically acceptable carrier and optionally other therapeutic ingredients. The compositions include compositions suitable for oral, rectal, ophthalmic, pulmonary, nasal, dermal, topical or parenteral (including subcutaneous, intramuscular and intravenous) administration, although the most suitable route in any given case will depend on the nature and severity of the condition being treated and on the nature of the active ingredient. They may be conveniently presented in unit dosage form and prepared by any of the methods well known in the art of pharmacy.
For use where a composition for intravenous administration is employed, a suitable dosage range is from 0.2 to 20 mg. (preferably 1 to 15 mg.) of a compound of Formula I, IA, II and IIA per kg. of body weight per day and in the case where an oral composition is employed a suitable dosage range is about, e.g., 1 to 50 mg. of a compound of formula I, IA, II and IIA per kg. of body weight per day, preferably from 10 to 40 mg./kg.
Pharmaceutical compositions of the present invention suitable for oral administration and by inhalation in the case of asthma therapy may be presented as discrete units such as capsules, cachets or tablets each containing a predetermined amount of the active ingredient; as a powder or granules; or as a solution or a suspension in an aqueous liquid, a non-aqueous liquid, an oil-in-water emulsion or a water-in-oil liquid emulsion. Such compositions may be prepared by any of the methods of pharmacy but all methods include the step of bringing into association the active ingredient with the carrier which constitutes one or more necessary ingredients. In general, the compositions are prepared by uniformly and intimately admixing the active ingredient with liquid carriers or finely divided solid carriers or both, and then, if necessary, shaping the product into the desired presentation. For example, a tablet may be prepared by compression or moulding, optionally with one or more accessory ingredients. Compressed tablets may be prepared by compressing in a suitable machine, the active ingredient in a free-flowing form such as powder or granules, optionally mixed with a binder, lubricant, inert diluent, lubricating, surface active or dispersing agent. Moulded tablets may be made by moulding in a suitable machine, a mixture of powdered compound moistened with an inert liquid diluent. Desirably, each tablet contains from 50 mg. to 500 mg. of the active ingredient and each cachet or capsule contains from 50 mg. to 500 mg. of the active ingredient.
