Description
BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION
1. Field of the Invention
This invention relates to carbostyril derivatives and a process for preparing the same. More particularly, this invention relates to carbostyril derivatives represented by the formula (I) hereinafter described, the pharmaceutically acceptable salts thereof, and a process for preparing the carbostyril derivatives of the formula (I).
2. Description of the Prior Art
It is well known that certain carbostyril derivatives exhibit useful pharmaceutical activities. Representative compounds of this type have been disclosed in Journal of Medical Chemistry, Vol. 15, No. 3, pp. 260-266 (1972), Japanese Patent Publication No. 38789/1971 and Chemical Abstracts, 62, 16212e (1965), etc. However, these prior art references do not teach that the compounds having a wide variety of substituents at the 1-, 5- and/or 8-position of the carbostyril or 3,4-dihydrocarbostyril moiety possess an excellent .beta.-adrenoreceptor blocking activity.
Hitherto, various carbostyril compounds have been disclosed as having a .beta.-adrenoreceptor blocking activity. For example, U.S. Pat. Nos. 3,340,266, 3,910,924 and 3,953,456, and German Patent Application DT No. 2,549,889 disclose that carbostyril or 3,4-dihydrocarbostyril derivatives having a (2-hydroxy-3-substituted-amino)propoxy group at the 5-, 6-, 7- or 8-position of the carbostyril or 3,4-dihydrocarbostyril nucleus possess a .beta.-adrenoreceptor blocking activity.
However, these .beta.-adrenoreceptor blocking agents, i.e., .beta.-blockers, are usually contraindication to subject suffering from bronchial asthma and, therefore, it has been desired to develope .beta.-blockers having a high cardioselectivity.
Recently, carbostyril compounds having a (2-hydroxy-3-substituted-amino)propoxy group at the 5-position of the carbostyril nucleus were found to have a cardioselective .beta.-adrenoreceptor blocking activity, as disclosed in German Patent Application DT No. 2,615,406. Such cardioselective .beta.-blockers would be very useful for treatment of cardiac disorders such as angina pectoris, heart arrhythmia and hypertension. The compounds of the present invention were also found to have excellent cardioselectivity better than that of these known compounds and are useful in treatment or prophylaxis of cardiac disorders in subjects suffering also from chronic obstructive lung disease such as bronchial asthma.

For example, the compounds of the formula (Id) and (Ic) having a benzyl group as R.sub.2 can be catalytically reduced in the presence of a catalyst which is generally used for catalytic reduction, for example, Raney nickel, palladium-carbon, pallladium black, platinum oxide and the like to produce a corresponding compound of the formula (Ia) and (Ib), respectively.
The above catalytic reduction can be carried out in a solvent, for example, lower alcohols such as methanol, ethanol, isopropanol and the like, acetic acid, water, etc. The reaction conditions which can be used in the catalytic reduction are not critical and generally the reduction proceeds under atmospheric pressure at room temperature.
The thus obtained compounds of the formula (I) can be converted into their pharmaceutically acceptable acid addition salts thereof as previously described by conventional procedures which are well known in the art.
The compounds of the present invention as well as the intermediates therefor previously described can be isolated from the reaction mixture obtained in each step in conventional manners, for example, by distilling off the solvent used. If necessary, the resulting compounds can be purified by conventional procedures such as fractional crystallization, column chromatography and the like.
As is apparent to one skilled in the art, the carbostyril compounds of the formula (I) can be prepared through various routes. Representative routes which can be used are shown in Reaction Scheme 4 below. ##STR10## wherein Y.sub.1 represents Y or OSO.sub.2 R.sub.5 wherein R.sub.5 represents a lower alkyl group or a phenyl group, and X.sub.4 and X.sub.5 each represents a halogen atom.
Further, the present invention includes, in its scope, optical isomers of the carbostyril compounds of the formula (I).
The carbostyril compounds of the present invention of the formula (I) can be easily converted into oxazolidine-carbostyril derivatives which can be produced by condensing a carbostyril compound of the formula (I) having a side chain of --OCH.sub.2 CH(OH)CH.sub.2 NH-- with an aldehyde compound, and acylcarbostyril derivatives which can be produced by acylating the hydroxyl group present in the above side chain with a wide variety of acrylating agents by conventional acylating procedures. These oxazolidine- and acylcarbostyril derivatives were also found to have an excellent cardioselective .beta.-blocking activity.

REFERENCE EXAMPLE 8
The .beta.-adrenergic blocking activity of the compounds of this invention was determined as follows:
Male hybrid adult dogs, weighing 10 to 16 kg, were anesthesized with sodium pentobarbital administered intravenously at a level of 30 mg/kg of body weight, and a cannula was inserted into the trachea of each of the anesthesized dogs. In order to avoid blood coagulation, heparin was administered intravenously at a level of 1000 units and thereafter a cannula was inserted into the right femoral artery. The experiments were conducted under artificial respiration at a rate of 20 ml/kg, 18 r.p.m.
The blood pressure was determined using a pressure transducer (MPU-0.5 Type, tradename of Nippon Koden Co., Japan) and the heart rate (HR) was determined from the pulse wave of blood pressure using an instantaneous heart rate tachometer (2130 Type, tradename of Sanei Sokki Co., Japan). The air-way resistance (AR) was determined according to the Konzett-Rossler Method (Konzett H. & Rossler R., "Versuchsanordnug zu Untersuchungen an der Bronchial Moskolatur" Arch. Exp. Path., Pharmak, 195, 71-74, 27-40 (1940) using a low-pressure type pressure transducer (LPU-0.1, tradename of Nippon Koden Co., Japan).
The above parameters were continuously recorded on a polygraph (8S 28 Type, tradename of Sanei Sokki Co., Japan). During the experiment, gallamine was administered intravenously at a dosage of 3 mg/kg at one-hour intervals to avoid fluctuation of air-way resistance.
The .beta.-adrenergic blocking activity of each of the test compounds was evaluated in terms of antagonism (Inhibition %) to the depression at the diastolic blood pressure (dBP) and to the increase in the heart rate induced by the intravenous administration of isoprenaline (1 .mu.g/kg) and in terms of antagonism (Inhibition %) to the depression by isoprenaline in increase of air-way resistance which was induced by intravenous administration of histamine (5 .mu.g/kg). In this case, histamine was administered 45 seconds after the administration of isoprenaline.
The .beta.-adrenergic blocking activity of the test compounds was determined 10 minutes after the intravenous administration of the test compounds at a level of 300 .mu.g/kg and the results obtained are shown in Table 5 below, where Proctolol ##STR91## were used as controls.
Further, the acute toxicity of the compounds of the present invention having the formula (I) was determined by intravenous administration (i.v.) and oral administration (p.o.) in 5 to 6 group of rats (dd, strain; body weight, 18 to 22 g; 10 rats in each group) which have been fasted for 12 hours prior to the test. A typical compound of the present invention of the formula (I), 8-(2-methoxyethoxy)-5-[3-(3,4-dimethoxyphenethylamino)-2-hydroxypropoxy]-3 ,4-dihydrocarbostyril maleate, was found to have the following LD.sub.50 (50% lethal dose):
The other compounds of the formula (I) were also found to have low toxicity, i.e., higher than about 130 mg/kg (i.v.) and higher than about 1200 mg/kg (p.o.).
The compounds of the present invention can be administered at a dosage level of from about 40 ug to about 2 mg/kg/day by oral administration. Typical examples of suitable formulations are given below, but it is to be noted that other dosage forms can also be prepared using other compounds of this invention as well as other excipients which are well known to one skilled in the art, according to the well-established pharmaceutical techniques.
