Description
The present invention refers to new N-Benzoyl-.omega.-anilino-C.sub.7-10 -alkano carboxylic acids, their pharmaceutically compatible salts and C.sub.1-7 -alkylesters, process for producing these compounds and pharmaceutical preparations containing the same.
N-Benzoyl-.omega.-anilino-C.sub.7 -C.sub.6 -alkano carboxylic acids already have been tested several times for their pharmacological activity (D. Evans et al., M. Med. Chem. 12 (1969) pgs. 1006 to 1010; German Offenlegungsschrift No. 19 17 036). The compounds partly showed choleretic activity. However, the tests further showed that such compounds do not have an antiinflammatory activity.
Surprisingly, the new N-benzoyl-.omega.-anilino-C.sub.7-10 -alkano carboxylic acids, their alkali salts and esters show pharmacological properties which have not been expected namely antiallergic, thrombocyte aggregation inhibitory, antiinflammatory and lipide lowering activity. Since the new compounds furthermore show a low toxicity and a good compatibility, they are in particular useful for the treatment of allergic, asthmatic, thromboembolic, inflammatory and arteriosclerotic diseases. The new compounds may also be preferably combined with other active agents such as anticoagulantia, in particular heparine, heparinates and coumarine derivatives. In particular, in the prophylaxis of thromboembolic complications it is desirable to influence the thrombocyte aggregation and the coagulation of the blood. In this respect, the compounds of the present application show particular activity in combination with anticoagulantia, in particular with heparine and heparinates.
Thus, object of the present invention are the new N-benzoyl-.omega.-anilino alkane carboxylic acids and their derivatives of the general formula I ##STR2## wherein

Non-toxic inert, pharmaceutically useful carrier materials are solid, semi-solid or liquid diluents, fillers and additives of any known kind. Preferred pharmaceutical preparations are tablets, dragees, capsules, pills, granulates, suppositories, solutions, suspensions and emulsions, pastes, ointments, gels, lotions, powders and sprays.

Besides the active agent or agents according to the present invention, the above pharmaceutical preparations may further contain other pharmaceutical active agents such as heparine, heparinates or coumarine derivatives.
The production of the above pharmaceutical preparations occurs in usual manners by usual methods for instance by mixing of the active agent or agents with the carrier material or materials.
A further part of the present invention is the use of the above new active agents of formula I as well as the pharmaceutical preparations containing one or several active agents according to the present invention in the human and veterinary medicine in the treatment of thromboembolic, inflammatory and arteriosclerotic processes in the human and in animal organisms.
The active agents or the pharmaceutical preparations may be administered locally, orally, parenterally, intraperitoneally and/or rectally, preferably orally and/or parenterally.
In general it is preferred in human medicine to use the active agent or agents in a total amount of about 10 to 2,000, preferably 30 to 500 mg per each 24 hours, possibly in the form of several single dosages in order to obtain best results. Each single dosage contains the active agent, preferably in amounts of about 10 to about 300, in particular 50 to 200 mg per dosage.
However, if necessary the above dosages may be increased and this depending upon the kind and the body weight of the being to be treated, the kind and severeness of the illness, the kind of preparation and application of the active agent and the interval at which single dosages are applied. For instance it may be sufficient in some cases to use less amounts of the active agent as above indicated while in other cases the above amounts may have to be increased. The single dose to be applied for obtaining optimal results may be determined by the doctor according to his general knowledge .
The preparation of the compounds according to the present invention is further illustrate in the following examples.
The reactive benzoic acid derivatives according to formula V and the benzanilides according to formula II are known compounds and may be produced according to known processes (L. GATTERMANN and H. WIELAND, Die Praxis des organischen Chemikers, 35. Auflage, p. 112; W. DE GRUYTER ET AL., Berlin 1953; H. FRANZEN, Ber.dtsch.chem.Ges. 42, (1909) p. 2465).
The recited melting points have been determined in a Buchi 510 apparatus and are not corrected. The IR spectra have been determined on a Perkin-Elmer 257 and the mass spectra on a Varian MAT-311A (70 eV).

MS (m/e): 527 (63%), 420 (9%), 295 (54%), 173 (100%), 136 (15%), 91 (72%).
The following examples refer to mixtures of compounds of formula I with carrier and auxiliary agents usual in pharmacy which mixtures can be used as drugs.
EXAMPLE 33
Tablets
A mixture consisting of 50 g of the sodium salt of 8-[4-chloro-N-(4-chlorophenyl)-benzamido]-caprylic acid, 50 g of lactose, 15 g of corn starch, 2 g of cellulose powder and 2 g of magnesium stearate, pressed in usual manners to tablets such that each tablet contains 250 mg of active agent.
EXAMPLE 34
Dragees
As described in example 33, tablets are pressed and then are coated with a coating consisting of sugar, corn starch, talcum and tragant.
EXAMPLE 35
Ampoules
100 g of the sodium salt of 8-[4-chloro-N-(4-chlorophenyl)-benzamido]-caprylic acid are dissolved in a mixture of 9.5 liter of bedestilled water and 0.5 liter of ethylen glycol, filtered and filled into ampoules each containing 10 cc. of the solution under sterile conditions. The ampoules thereafter are closed by fusion.
In analogous manner there are produced tablets, dragees, and ampoules containing one or several active agents of formula I with the addition of an anticoagulating agent.
