The compounds of this invention are capable of forming acid addition salts with therapeutically acceptable acids. The acid addition salts are prepared by reacting the base form of the appropriate compound of formula I with one or more equivalents, preferably with an excess, of the appropriate acid in an organic solvent, for example, diethyl ether or an ethanol-diethyl ether mixture.
These salts, when administered to a mammal, possess the same pharmacologic activities as the corresponding bases. For many purposes it is preferable to administer the salts rather than the base compounds. Suitable acids to form these salts include the common mineral acids, e.g. hydrohalic, sulfuric or phosphoric acid; the organic acids, e.g. maleic, methylsulfonic acid, citric or tartaric acid; and acids which are sparingly soluble in body fluids and which impart slow-release properties to their respective salts, e.g. pamoic or tannic acid or carboxymethyl cellulose. The addition salts thus obtained are the functional equivalent of the parent base compound in respect to their therapeutic use. Hence, these addition salts are included within the scope of this invention and are limited only by the requirement that the acids employed in forming the salts be therapeutically acceptable.
The antihypertensive effect of the compounds of formula I or a therapeutically acceptable acid addition salt thereof is demonstrated in standard pharmacological tests, for example, in tests conducted in the spontaneously hypertensive rat (SHR) such as described by I. Varva, et al., Can. J. Physiol. Pharmacol., 51, 727 (1973). The latter test method is modified in the following manner: Male rats, Okamota-Aoki Strain, ranging in weight between 250-400 g were anesthetized with diethyl ether. Their left femoral arteries and veins were cannulated with polyethylene tubing of the appropriate size. Each animal was then enfolded in a rubber mesh jacket which was secured with 4 towel clamps. The animal was suspended via the towel clamps from a bar and allowed to recover from the anesthesia. The femorial arterial cannula was connected to a Stratham pressure transducer (Model P23, Gould Stratham Instruments, Hato Rey, Porto Rico), which in turn was attached to a polygraph for recording arterial pressure and pulse rate. The pulse rate was considered to be the heart rate.
When the blood pressure (BP) had stablized (usually two hours after cessation of the anesthesia) the intravenous injection of the standard agonists was begun. Each of the 4 agonists was prepared from concentrated, refrigerated, stock solutions to be delivered in a volume of 1 ml/kg. The doses given were: isoproterenol 0.5 .mu.g/kg, adrenalin 2.0 .mu.g/kg, tyramine 200 .mu.g/kg and angiotensin I 0.25 .mu.g/kg. The agonists were usually given in random order except that tyramine was never preceded by isoproterenol as the response to tyramine seemed to be blunted after a prior injection of isoproterenol. Enough time was allowed for the BP to return to preinjection levels before the next agonist was given. After the last agonist was given the test compound was administered by gastric gavage in a volume of 5 ml/kg. Heart rate and blood pressure were noted at 5, 10, 15, 30, 45 and 60 minutes and hourly thereafter for a period of at least 4 hours after drug administration. At 1 and 2 hours post-drug, the agonists were again injected at the same concentration and in the same order as during the control period.
Using this method, the following representative compounds of formula I are effective for reducing the blood pressure (BP) in the spontaneously hypertensive rat (the amount of test compound and its reduction in BP are indicated in the parentheses): 2-[4-(2-cycloheptimidazolyl)-1-piperazinyl]-6,7-dimethoxy-4-quinazolinamin e (described in Example 2, at a dose of 1.0 mg/kg of body weight causes a 20% decrease in mean BP at 3 hours), 2-[4-(6-chloro-2-cycloheptimidazolyl)-1-piperazinyl]-6,7-dimethoxy-4-quina zolinamine (described in Example 2, at a dose of 5.0 mg/kg of body weight causes a 18% decrease in mean BP at 3 hours), 2-[4-(2-cycloheptimidazolyl)-1-piperazinyl]-4-pyrimidinamine (described in Example 2, at a dose of 50 mg/kg of body weight causes a 16% decrease in mean BP at 3 hours), 2-[4-(4-amino-6,7-dimethoxy-2-quinazolinyl)-1-piperazinyl]-2,4,6-cyclohept atrien-1-one (described in Example 3, at a dose of 1.0 mg/kg of body weight causes a 28% decrease in mean BP at 1 hour), 5-chloro-2-[4-(4-amino-6,7-dimethoxy-2-quinazolinyl)-1-piperazinyl]-2,4,6- cycloheptatrien-1-one (described in Example 3, at a dose of 10 mg/kg of body weight causes a 19% decrease in mean BP at 1 hour), 2-[4-(2-cycloheptimidazolyl)-1-piperazinyl]-6,7,8-trimethoxy-4-quinazolina mine (described in Example 4, at a dose of 2.5 mg/kg of body weight causes a 21% decrease in mean BP at 1 hour), 2-[4-(6-ethoxy-2-cycloheptimidazolyl)-1-piperazinyl]-6,7-dimethoxy-4-quina zolinamine (described in Example 5, at a dose of 5.0 mg/kg of body weight causes a 19% decrease in mean BP at 3 hours), 2-[4-(benzthiazol-2-yl)-1-piperazinyl]-6,7-dimethoxy-4-quinazolinamine (described in Example 6, at a dose of 0.1 mg/kg of body weight causes a 16% decrease in mean BP at 4 hours), 2-[4-(2-cycloheptimidazolyl)-1-piperazinyl]-5,6,7-trimethoxy-4-quinazolina mine dihydrochloride (described in Example 9, at a dose of 2.5 mg/kg of body weight causes a 14% decrease in mean BP at 4 hours), 6,7-dimethoxy-2-[4-(1-methyl-2-benzimidazolyl)-1-piperazinyl]-4-quinazolin amine (described in Example 12, at a dose of 1.0 mg/kg of body weight causes a 20% decrease in mean BP at 1 hr) and 6,7-dimethoxy-2-[4-(2-thiazolyl)-1-piperazinyl]-4-quinazolinamine (described in Example 14, at a dose of 0.1 mg/kg of body weight causes a 34% decrease in mean BP at 0.5 hr).
The compounds of formula I of this invention are used alone or in combination with pharmacologically acceptable carriers, the proportion of which is determined by the solubility and chemical nature of the compound, chosen route of administration and standard biological practice. For example, they are administered orally in the form of suspensions or solutions or they may be injected parenterally. For parenteral administration they can be used in the form of a sterile solution containing other solutes, for example, enough saline or glucose to make the solution isotonic.
The tablet compositions contain the active ingredient in admixture with non-toxic pharmaceutical excipients known to be suitable in the manufacture of tablets. Suitable pharmaceutical excipients are, for example, starch, milk sugar, certain types of clay and so forth. The tablets can be uncoated or they can be coated by known techniques so as to delay disintegration and absorption in the gastrointestinal tract and thereby provide a sustained action over a longer period.
The aqueous suspensions of the compounds of formula I contain the active ingredient in admixture with one or more non-toxic pharmaceutical excipients known to be suitable in the manufacture of aqueous suspensions. Suitable excipients are, for example, methylcellulose, sodium alginate, gum acacia, lecithin and so forth. The aqueous suspensions can also contain one or more preservatives, one or more coloring agents, one or more flavoring agents and one or more sweetening agents.
Non-aqueous suspensions can be formulated by suspending the active ingredient in a vegetable oil, for example, arachis oil, olive oil, sesame oil, or coconut oil, or in a mineral oil, for example liquid paraffin, and the suspension may contain a thickening agent, for example beeswax, hard paraffin or cetyl alcohol. These compositions can also contain a sweetening agent, flavoring agent and antioxidant.
The dosage of the compounds of formula I as antihypertensive agents will vary with the form of administration and the particular compound chosen. Furthermore, it will vary with the particular host as well as the age, weight and condition of the host under treatment as well as with the nature and extent of the symptoms. Generally, treatment is initiated with small dosages substantially less than the optimum dose of the compound. Thereafter, the dosage is increased by small increments until the optimum effect under the circumstances is reached. In general, the compounds of this invention are most desirably administered at a concentration level that will generally afford effective results without causing any harmful or deleterious side effects. For example, the effective antihypertensive amount of the compounds for oral administration usually ranges from about 0.01 to 200 mg per kilogram body weight per day in single or divided doses although as aforementioned variations will occur. However, a dosage level that is in the range of from about 0.05 to 100 mg per kilogram body weight per day in single or divided doses is employed most desirably for oral administration in order to achieve effective results.
The compound of formula I also can be used to produce beneficial effects in the treatment of hypertension, peripheral and cerebral vascular diseases and related disorders when combined with a second therapeutic agent comprising a therapeutically effective amount of a diuretic and/or antihypertensive agent commonly used in antihypertensive therapy. Such diuretic and/or antihypertensive therapeutic agents include, for example, the thiazide diuretics for instance, chlorothiazide or hydrochlorothiazide; mineralocorticoid antagonizing diuretic agents, e.g., spironolactone; and other diuretics such as triameterene and furosemide. Examples of still other suitable antihypertensive agents are prazosine, hydralazine and centrally active antihypertensive agents such as methyldopa, clonidine, and reserpine; as well as the .beta.-adrenergic blocking agents, for instance, propranolol. The compound of formula I can be administered sequentially or simultaneously with the antihypertensive and/or diuretic agent. Preferred antihypertensive and/or diuretic therapeutic agents are the antihypertensive agents such as the thiazides, mineralocorticoid antagonizing diuretic agents and the .beta.-adrenergic blocking agents. A combination of the foregoing antihypertensive and/or diuretic agents, e.g. propranolol and hydrochlorothiazide, can be substituted for a single agent. Suitable methods of administration, compositions and dosages of the above described diuretic and/or antihypertensive agents are well known in the art; for instance, "Physician Desk Reference," 33 ed., Medical Economics Co., Oradell, N.J., U.S.A., 1979. For example, the agent propranolol is administered daily to humans in a range of 80 to 640 mg, usually in the form of unit doses of 10, 20, 40 or 80 mg. When used in combination, the compound of formula I is administered as described previously.
PROCESS
Reaction scheme 1 illustrates a method for preparing the compounds of formula I. ##STR14##
With reference to reaction scheme 1, a compound of formula II, in which R.sup.1, R.sup.2, R.sup.4 and R.sup.5 are as defined herein and X is bromo or chloro, is condensed with a compound of formula III in which n and R.sup.3 are as defined herein. Preferably, the compound of formula II is condensed with about one molar equivalent of the compound of formula III in the presence of at least one molar equivalent of a proton acceptor, preferably an organic proton acceptor. Any organic solvent which does not interfere with the condensation can be used. A preferred solvent is selected from lower alkanols, especially butanol. Also, an excess of the organic proton acceptor can serve as the solvent without the addition of another organic solvent. The condensation of the compound of formula II and the compound of formula III is usually achieved at about 75.degree. to 150.degree. C., preferably about 100.degree. to 130.degree. C., for about two to 30 hours. The corresponding compound of formula I is then isolated from the reaction mixture by conventional methods, for example, evaporation, filtration, extraction, chromatography and/or crystallization.
The starting materials of formula II are either described in the chemical literature or can be readily prepared by using analogous methods which are described, for example, the above cited article by T. H. Althuis and H. -J. Hess, J. Med. Chem., 20, 146 (1977) and H. -J. Hess, U.S. Pat. No. 3,769,286, issued Oct. 30, 1973.
A method of preparing a starting material of formula III is illustrated in reaction scheme 2. ##STR15##
Condensation of the compound of formula IV in which n is as defined herein and R.sup.14 is an amino protecting group, for instance, benzyl, formyl, tert-butoxycarbonyl and the like, preferably formyl, with about one molar equivalent of the compound of formula V in which R.sup.10 is as defined herein and Alk is lower alkyl gives the corresponding compound of formula VI in which n and R.sup.14 are as defined herein and R.sup.3 is ##STR16## wherein R.sup.10 is as defined herein. The condensation is readily effected by heating a solution of the compound of formula IV and V in an inert organic solvent, for example, a lower alkanol, benzene, chloroform, acetonitrile, toluene and the like, preferably a lower alkanol, at 50.degree. to 100.degree. C. for 10 to 60 hours and isolating the corresponding compound of formula VI.
A number of 2-alkoxy-tropones of formula V suitable as starting materials are described in various reports; for example, see the review on tropone derivatives, their preparation and their interconversions by F. Pietra, Chem. Rev., 73, 293 (1973). Thus, the 2-alkoxy-tropones are either known or can be prepared by conventional means.
The intermediates of formula VI in which n and R.sup.14 are as defined herein and R.sup.3 is ##STR17## wherein A and R.sup.10 are as defined herein are obtained by condensing the corresponding compound of formula IV in which n and R.sup.14 are as defined herein with the corresponding compound of formula VII, VIII or IX, respectively, wherein A and R.sup.10 are as defined herein, X is bromo or chloro and Y is mercapto, bromo or chloro, in the same manner as described above for the condensation of the compound of formula II and the compound of formula III.
The starting materials of formula VII, VIII or IX are either described or can be prepared by analogous methods. For example, such methods are described for the starting materials of formula VII by D. S. Jones et al., J. Chem. Soc., 4393 (1965); Chem. Abstr. 41, 754 b (1947) for M. Colonna, Pubbl. its. chim. univ. Bologna, No. 2, 3 (1943); Derwent Publications Ltd., Farmdoc 55609A for Japanese Pat. No. 3,071,088; and M. Winn and J. Kyncl, U.S. Pat. No. 4,093,726, issued June 6, 1978, referred to above.
Reaction scheme 3 illustrates a method for preparing another compound of formula III. ##STR18##
Reaction of the compound of formula IV in which n and R.sup.14 are as defined herein with the hydroiodide salt of methylthiocarboximidamide in ethanol at about 20.degree. to 100.degree. C. for about two to 30 hours gives the corresponding compound of formula X in which n and R.sup.14 are as defined herein. Subsequent condensation of the compound of formula X with about a molar equivalent of the compound of formula V in which Alk and R.sup.10 are as defined herein in the presence of about 1.0 to 1.5 molar equivalents of sodium ethoxide affords the corresponding compound of formula IV in which n and R.sup.14 are as defined herein and R.sup.3 is ##STR19## wherein R.sup.10 is as defined herein. This condensation is achieved using ethanol as solvent and at 60.degree. to 100.degree. C. for one to five hours.
Removal of the amino protecting group (R.sup.14) from the compound of formula VI in which n, R.sup.3 and R.sup.14 are as defined herein using conventional methods, for example, the formyl protecting group is easily removed with a solution of hydrogen chloride in ethanol at 20.degree. to 100.degree. C. for 5 to 30 hours, gives the corresponding compound of formula III.
Reduction of the compound of formula VI or formula III in which R.sup.3 is ##STR20## and R.sup.14 and n are as defined herein gives the corresponding compound of formula VI or formula III, respectively, in which R.sup.3 is ##STR21## and R.sup.14 and n are as defined herein. A preferred method of achieving this reduction is hydrogenation in the presence of a catalytic amount of rhodium on carbon in a lower alkanol, preferably methanol, at 20.degree. to 30.degree. C. Subsequent removal of the amino protecting group of the latter compound of formula VI gives the said last compound of formula III.
Still another method for preparing some of the compounds of formula I makes use of the condensation of a compund of formula XI ##STR22## in which n, R.sup.1, R.sup.2, R.sup.4 and R.sup.5 are as defined herein with a compound of formula V, VII, VIII, IX or XII.
The condensation of the compound of formula XI with the compound of formula V is conducted in the same manner as the above described for the condensation of the compound of formula IV with the compound of formula V to obtain the corresponding compound of formula I in which n, R.sup.1, R.sup.2, R.sup.4 and R.sup.5 are as defined herein and R.sup.3 is ##STR23## wherein R.sup.10 is as defined herein. Condensation of the compound of formula XI with the compound of formula VII in which A, R.sup.10 and X are as defined herein, in the same manner as described above for the compounds of formula IV and VII, gives the corresponding compound of formula I in which n, R.sup.1, R.sup.2, R.sup.4 and R.sup.5 are as defined herein and R.sup.3 is ##STR24## in which A and R.sup.10 are as defined herein. Condensation of the compound of formula XI with the compound of formula VIII, in the same manner as described above for the compounds of formulae IV and VII, gives the corresponding compound of formula I in which n, R.sup.1, R.sup.2, R.sup.4 and R.sup.5 are as defined herein and R.sup.3 is ##STR25## Condensation of the compound of formula XI with the compound of formula IX, in the same manner as described above for the compounds of formulae IV and IX, gives the corresponding compound of formula I in which n, R.sup.1, R.sup.2, R.sup.4 and R.sup.5 are as defined herein and R.sup.3 is ##STR26## Condensation of the compound of formula XI with the compound of formula XII in which R.sup.10 is as defined herein and Alk is lower alkyl, in the same manner as described above for the compounds of formulae IV and V, gives the corresponding compound of formula I in which n, R.sup.1, R.sup.2, R.sup.4 and R.sup.5 are as defined herein and R.sup.3 is ##STR27## wherein R.sup.10 is as defined herein.
The above intermediates of formula XI are prepared by first condensing the compound of formula II in which R.sup.1, R.sup.2, R.sup.4, R.sup.5 and X are as defined herein with the compound of formula IV in which n and R.sup.14 are as defined herein, in the same manner as described above for the condensation of the compounds of formulae II and III, to obtain the corresponding compound of formula XII in which n, R.sup.1, R.sup.2, R.sup.4, R.sup.5 and R.sup.14 are as ##STR28## defined herein. Removal of the amino protecting group (R.sup.14) from the compound of formula XIII, in the same manner as described above for the compound of formula VI, gives the corresponding compound of formula XI in which n, R.sup.1, R.sup.2, R.sup.4 and R.sup.5 are as defined herein.
The preparation of 2-(methylthio)cycloheptimidazole of formula XII in which R.sup.10 is hydrogen and Alk is methyl is described by T. Nozoe et al., Proc. Japan Acad., 30, 482 (1954); other compounds of formula XII can be prepared in a similar manner.
If desired, a compound of formula I can be converted to another compound of formula I. For example the compound of formula I in which ##STR29## is reduced, in the same manner as described above, to obtain the corresponding compound of formula I in which R.sup.3 is ##STR30##
In another conversion, the compound of formula I in which n, R.sup.1, R.sup.2, R.sup.4 and R.sup.5 are as defined herein and R.sup.3 is ##STR31## wherein R.sup.10 is chloro is reacted with one to five molar equivalents of a sodium lower alkoxide at 20.degree. to 100.degree. C. for one to ten hours to obtain the corresponding compound of formula I in which n, R.sup.1, R.sup.2, R.sup.4 and R.sup.5 are as defined herein and R.sup.3 is as defined immediately above wherein R.sup.10 is lower alkoxy.
The following examples illustrate further this invention.
