Description
BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION
1. Field of the Invention
The present invention relates to new amino-alcohol derivatives having .alpha.- and .beta.-adrenergic receptor blocking activity or activity of increasing the blood flow of certain organs and processes for the production thereof.
2. Description of the Prior Art
In anti-hypertensive therapy, it is known to use peripheral vasodilators which act to increase the blood flow of certain organs by relaxing arterial smooth muscles to decrease peripheral resistance and blood pressure. [N. Kaplan, Clinical Hypertension 125 (1973)]. For example, as described in the Merck Index (Ninth Edition) nylidrin (4-hydroxy-.alpha.-[1-[(1-methyl-3-phenylpropyl)amino]ethyl]benzene methanol) ##STR1## is known as a peripheral vasodilator.
It is also known that .alpha.-adrenergic receptor blocking drugs promote vasodilation by inhibiting the stimulation of .alpha.-receptor sites on vascular smooth muscle or myocardial muscle membrane, which produce arteriolar or venular constriction. Compounds which exhibit .alpha.-adrenergic receptor blocking activity include phenoxybenzamine (N-(2-chloroethyl)-N-(1-methyl)-2-phenoxyethyl)benzenemethanamine) and phentolamine (3-[[4,5-dihydro-1H-imidazol-2-yl)methyl](4-methylphenyl)amino]phenol). [J. Laragh, Hypertension Manual 908 (1973)]. The structure of phenoxybenzamine is shown below. ##STR2## In addition, the antihypertensive effects of .beta.-adrenergic blocking-agents are known to include decrease in cardiac rate and in myocardial contractibility notwithstanding their mild promotion of vasoconstriction. [Frohlich, The Use of Beta-Adrenergic Blockade on Hypertension, Hypertension: Mechanisms and Management 333 (G. Oresti et al ed. 1973)]. As described in the Merck Index (Ninth Edition), .beta.-adrenergic blocking drugs include propranolol (1-(isopropylamino)-3-(1-naphthyloxy)-2-propanol) depicted below. ##STR3##
While the above compounds exhibit good pharmacological activity, compounds useful to treat cardiovascular disease and the like are always in demand. To this end, the inventors have discovered new compounds which exhibit good pharmacological activity.
SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION
In accordance with the present invention, new amino-alcohol derivatives and their pharmaceutically acceptable acid addition salts are produced having the general formula (I): ##STR4## R.sub.2 and R.sub.3, which may be the same or different, each represent a hydrogen atom or a methyl group and R.sub.4 represents a substituted phenyl group, a substituted phenoxymethyl group, a substituted heterocyclyl group or a substituted heterocyclyloxymethyl group. The invention also pertains to various processes for the production of the above compounds.
The compounds of the present invention have .alpha. and .beta.-adrenergic receptor blocking activity or they act to increase the flow of blood of certain organs. Accordingly, these compounds are useful as medicaments for cardiovascular diseases such as hypertension, angina pectoris and cerebrovascular diseases and may be used in various pharmaceutical forms for administration.
DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION
The novel amino-alcohol derivatives of the present invention are represented by the following general formula (I): ##STR5## and R.sub.3 may be the same or different and represent a hydrogen atom or a methyl group, and R.sub.4 represents a substituted phenyl group, a substituted phenoxymethyl group, a substituted heterocyclyl group or a substituted heterocyclyloxymethyl group.
Encompassed within the composition of matter aspect of the invention are the pharmaceutically acceptable acid addition salts of the foregoing compounds.
The substituted phenyl group represented by R.sub.4 has from 1 to 3 substituents at the benzene ring. By way of example, the substituent can be an alkylacyl group, an acylamide group, an alkoxy group, an alkoxycarbonyl group, an alkoxycarbonylmethyl group (where the alkyl moiety in each of these substituents has from 1 to 4 carbon atoms), a cyano group, a carbamoylmethyl group, a carbamoyl group, a hydroxy group, a carboxymethyl group, a hydrazinocarbonylmethyl group or a halogen atom.
The substituent in the substituted phenoxymethyl group, the substituted heterocyclyl group or the substituted heterocyclyloxymethyl group represented by R.sub.4 can be any of those suitable as substituents for the substituted phenyl group, as illustrated above. The number of substituents at the benzene or heterocyclyl ring for these groups is also from 1 to 3.
The acid addition salts of the present invention include inorganic acid addition salts such as hydrochloride, sulfate, hydrobromide, phosphate and the like, and organic acid addition salts such as acetate, maleate, fumarate, tartrate, citrate, oxalate, benzoate and the like.
The compounds of the present invention can be produced by the following methods. ##STR6## wherein R.sub.1, R.sub.2, R.sub.3 and R.sub.4 have the same meaning as defined before and Y represents a hydrogen atom or an amino protecting group. When Y in Compound II represents a hydrogen atom, Compound II is a compound of the present invention. When Y in Compound II represents an amino protecting group, a compound of the invention can be obtained by eliminating the amino protecting group in a conventional manner.
The reaction is carried out by reacting under reflux an epoxy compound represented by Compound III with an equimolar amount or above, generally one to two moles, of an amine compound represented by Compound IV per one mole of the epoxy compound in an appropriate organic solvent.
After completion of the reaction, the reaction mixture is concentrated under reduced pressure. The resulting residue is then purified by silicagel column chromatography using an organic solvent such as methanol, a recrystallization method using an organic solvent or by other suitable methods to obtain the desired compound in crystalline form or as an oily free base.
Suitable reaction solvents for this reaction include ethanol, methanol, benzene, toluene, chloroform, acrylonitrile and the like. Depending on the amine used as the starting material, however, the reaction may be carried out without solvent (where the amine functions as the solvent) or in solvents other than the above.
The reaction of the present invention is generally carried out at the boiling point of the solvent used, typically at 0.degree.-100.degree. C. The reaction is usually completed in 1-2 hours at a reflux temperature.
When Y in Compound II represents an amino protecting group, e.g. a benzyl group, the desired compound is produced by adding palladium-carbon to the reaction solution and hydrogenolyzing Compound II at room temperature and at atmospheric pressure in a stream of hydrogen. After completion of the reaction, the palladium-carbon is filtered off from the solution. The resulting filtrate is then concentrated under reduced pressure and extracted with ether to obtain the desired compound. Purification and isolation can be carried out in a conventional manner. If in the form of an oil, the compound is dissolved in ether or the like, and hydrogen chloride gas is bubbled thereinto to obtain the desired compound as the crystalline hydrochloride. When a by-product is produced in the reaction solution, to overcome the occasional difficulty experienced in separating the desired compound from the reaction solution, silicagel column chromatography is used, which provides ready separation.
The epoxy compound used is readily obtained in a conventional manner. For example, the epoxy compound typically can be obtained by reacting epi-halohydrin with a phenol derivative corresponding to the desired epoxy compound in the presence of a base. Suitable epoxy compounds including those which are used in the Examples which follow are illustrated in Table 1, where Me in the structural formulae represents a methyl group. Except for Compound EP-11 which is described in Reference Example 1 these epoxy compounds are known compounds.
The amine to be used can be readily obtained in a conventional manner. Suitable amines including those which are used in the Examples which follow are shown below. References disclosing these amines are also indicated. In the following structural formulae, Me represents a methyl group, Et represents an ethyl group and Bz represents a benzyl group.
With the exception of Compound AM-7, the amines mentioned above are known compounds. The preparation of these amines are schematically illustrated by the flow sheet which follows. The indicated references in Table 2 above describe the preparation procedure in more detail, and persons skilled in the art can readily prepare these amine compounds. ##STR28## The compounds of the invention, e.g. Compounds 8, 9, 10, 21, etc. as will be discussed hereinafter, can also be obtained by the following methods. ##STR29## wherein R.sub.1, R.sub.2, R.sub.3, R.sub.4 and Y have the same meaning as defined before and X represents a halogen atom. The reaction of Compound V with Compound IV is carried out at the reflux temperature in an appropriate solvent, e.g. methylethylketone, acetonitrile and the like. The reaction is generally completed in several hours. To the reaction solution are then added ethanol and sodium borohydride and the desired compound is obtained by reducing the reactant.
Specific examples of halogen compounds corresponding to Compound V are set forth in Table 3. Where the halogen compound is novel, the Reference Example identified has been provided to set forth the physical properties of the novel compound as well as a process for the synthesis thereof.
The processes for the production of these compounds are shown by the following flow diagram, wherein Me represents a methyl group, Et represents an ethyl group, Bz represents a benzyl group and Ac represents an acetyl group. ##STR36##
METHOD 3
In order to obtain an amino-alcohol derivative having a terminal amide bond, a compound is used as the starting material whose moiety corresponding to the amide bond of the desired compound is an ester bond and whose residual moiety agrees with that of the desired compound. This starting compound is reacted with ammonia to convert the ester into an amide.
For example, the ester-bond-containing starting compound is dissolved in ethanol and the solution is poured into a pressure tube. Then, liquid ammonia is added thereto and the tube is sealed. The sealed tube is typically allowed to stand for 1-2 weeks at room temperature to convert the ester bond to an amide bond. Compounds 14, 15, 19, 21, 26 and 32 can be readily converted to Compound 11, 16, 20, 22, 30 and 34 respectively by this method.
METHOD 4
An amino-alcohol derivative having a terminal carboxy group is obtained by hydrolyzing a corresponding ester compound.
In this method, the corresponding ester-bond-containing compound is dissolved in ethanol. An acid, e.g. hydrochloric acid is added thereto, and the solution is heated under reflux. The hydrochloride of the desired compound is obtained by removing the solvent used from the resulting reaction solution and, if necessary, recrystallizing the hydrochloride from an organic solvent. Compound 17 can be obtained from the corresponding Compound 14 by this method.
METHOD 5
An amino-alcohol derivative having a terminal hydrazino group is obtained in the following manner. A corresponding ester compound is dissolved in ethanol, hydrazine hydrate is added thereto and the solution is heated under reflux. The desired compound is obtained by removing the solvent from the resulting reaction solution and, if necessary, recrystallizing the compound from an organic solvent. Compound 18 can be obtained from the corresponding Compound 14 by this method.
In addition to the above methods, compounds of the present invention can also be produced using known methods such as the following: ##STR37##
The reaction is carried out under reflux in a solvent. ##STR38##
The reaction is carried out under reflux in a solvent. ##STR39##
The reaction rapidly proceeds and Compound II is obtained by hydrogenating the imino compound formed with pd-c, H.sub.2 or sodium borohydride. ##STR40##
In the above formulae, Z represents a substituted phenyl group or a substituted heterocyclyl group, R.sub.1, R.sub.2, R.sub.3, R.sub.4 and Y have the same meaning as defined before and X represents a halogen atom.
The reactions in Methods 6 through 10 can be carried out by applying the methods disclosed in A. F. Crowther, et al.; Journal of Medicinal Chemistry 12, 638 (1969), H. H. Willrath, et al.; German Patent No. 2,106,209, C.

All of the amino-alcohol derivatives obtained by these methods are weakly basic compounds. The acid addition salts thereof, e.g. inorganic acid addition salts such as hydrochloride, sulfate, hydrobromide, phosphate and the like and organic acid addition salts such as acetate, maleate, fumarate, tartrate, citrate, oxalate, benzoate and the like can be readily produced in a conventional manner.

The pharmacological activity of the compounds of the present invention is illustrated by the following experiments: (a) diastolic blood pressure (DBP) and systolic blood pressure (SBP), (b) organ blood flow, (c) .alpha., .beta..sub.1, .beta..sub.2 blocking activity, (d) heart rate, (e) changes in blood pressure of spontaneous hypertensive rats (SHR-BP) and (f) acute toxicity (LD.sub.50).
In experiments (a), (b), (c) and (d), 3-4 male or female mongrel dogs (weight: 10-20 Kg) as one group were anesthetized by intravenous administration of 30 mg/kg of pentobarbital-Na. All compounds were dissolved in polyethylene glycol 400 and administered to the femoral vein.
Each test is described in detail below.
(a) Effect on diastolic blood pressure (DBP) and systolic blood pressure (SBP)
In this test, 1 mg/kg of each compound shown in Tables 5 and 7 is administered to the dogs and changes in blood pressure (mm Hg) are measured. A negative sign signifies a drop in blood pressure.
(b) Effect on organ blood flow M (%)
In this test, 1 mg/kg of each compound shown in Tables 5 and 7 is administered to the dogs and an electromagnetic probe is attached to the main artery of the dogs' organ to measure the flow of blood. The percentage change in organ blood flow as against the flow before administration of the test compounds is shown in Tables 5 and 7.
(c) .alpha., .beta..sub.1, .beta..sub.2 blocking activity
(c-1) .alpha. blocking activity
In this test, 3 .mu.g/kg of Norepinephrine is intravenously administered to the dogs to cause an increase in systolic blood pressure. Percentage inhibition (%) of the increase by administration of 0.1 mg/kg of the test compounds is shown in Table 6.
(c-2) .beta..sub.1 blocking activity
In this test, 0.5 .mu.g/kg of Isoproterenol is intravenously administered to the dogs to cause an increase in the heart rate. Percentage inhibition (%) of the increase by administration of 0.1 mg/kg of the test compounds is shown in Table 6.
(c-3) .beta..sub.2 blocking activity
In this test, 0.5 .mu.g/kg of Isoproterenol is intravenously administered to the dogs to cause a decrease in diastolic blood pressure. Percentage inhibition (%) of the decrease by administration of 0.1 mg/kg of the test compounds is shown in Table 6. Labetalol {5-[1-hydroxy-2-(1-methyl-3-phenylpropyl) aminoethyl] salicylamide hydrochloride} having .alpha.- or .beta.- adrenergic receptor blocking activity was used as a control.
(d) Effect on heart rate (beats/min.)
The decrease in heart rate by administration of 1 mg/kg of the test compounds to the dogs is shown in Table 7.
(e) Change in blood pressure (mm Hg) of spontaneous hypertensive rats (SHR)
In this test, 30 mg/kg of the test compounds is orally administered to SHR and changes in the blood pressure are measured by plethysmographic tail method. The change in blood pressure from the blood pressure before administration is shown in Table 5. A negative sign signifies a drop in blood pressure.
(f) LD.sub.50 (g/kg)
The test compounds were orally administered to male dd-strain mice weighing 20-25 g.
As is apparent from Tables 5-7, the compounds of the present invention have a significant .alpha. and .beta. adrenergic receptor blocking effect and also effectively increase organ blood flow. As such, the compounds are useful as medicaments for cardiovascular diseases such as hypertension, angina pectoris and cerebrovascular diseases.
In view of the pharmacological activity exhibited, the compounds of the present invention may be used in various pharmaceutical forms for administration. Pharmaceutical compositions of the present invention are prepared by uniformly mixing an effective amount of the compound as the active ingredient, in free form or as an acid addition salt, with a pharmaceutically acceptable carrier. The carrier may take various forms depending on the pharmaceutical form suitable for administration. It is preferable that the pharmaceutical composition be in single administration form suitable for administration per os or by injection.
In preparation of the compositions for oral administration, any useful pharmaceutical carrier may be used. For example, oral liquid preparations such as suspensions and syrups can be prepared using water, glycols, oils, alcohols and the like. Powders, pills, capsules and tablets can be prepared using disintegrators and the like.
Tablets and capsules are the most useful single oral administration forms because of the ease of administration. To make tablets and capsules solid pharmaceutical carriers are used.
Where pharmaceutical compositions for parenteral administration is desired, the carrier for the most part consists of sterile aqueous solutions. The carrier, however, may also contain other components to help the dissolution of the amino-alcohol derivative.
For example, an injection solution can be prepared using a carrier consisting of a mixture of salt solution and glucose solution or saline solution and glucose solution. The suspensions for injection can be prepared using an appropriate liquid carrier, dispersing agent and the like. Though the amount of the active ingredient can be varied in a rather wide range, 1-50 mg/kg/day in one dose or several divided doses is generally considered to be effective.
Certain specific embodiments of the invention are illustrated by the following representative examples.
EXAMPLE 1
Preparation of Compound 4
In this example, 2.8 g of 1-(4-butyrylamido-2-acetyl) phenoxy-2,3-epoxypropane and 1.7 g of 1,4-benzodioxane-2-methaneamine are refluxed in 70 ml of 99.5% ethanol for 1 hour.
