Description
BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION
Substituted dihydropyridines are known to be useful for reducing blood pressure, effecting dilation of the coronary vessels, and preventing vasospasms. Typical of such substituted dihydropyridines are those disclosed in U.S. Pat. Nos. 3,923,818; 3,905,970; 4,044,141; 4,237,137; and, 4,285,955. The substituted dihydropyridines disclosed in these patents do not include bridged ring structures.
Weller et al. [J. Org. Chem, 48, 3061-67 (1983)] disclose fused ring and bridged ring structures (e.g., spiro piperidines, spiro pyridines) but indicate that in such structures no exceptionally active analgesics have been found. Furthermore, the bridge portion in these structures is from the ortho position of the benzene ring to the para position of the piperidine or pyridine rings.

C. to reflux) under an inert atmosphere (Ar or N.sub.2) for a period of about 1-25 hours (preferably 1 hour). The intermediate lactone compound 3 (Reaction Scheme II, Method D) is isolated and treated as described below in Step 2.
Step 2
The reaction mixture, maintained under the inert atmosphere, is then treated with about 2-5 meq (preferably 5 meq) potassium carbonate, potassium hydride, lithium hydride, or sodium hydride (preferably potassium carbonate) and 2-25 meq of R.sup.2 OH, preferably about 10 meq, neat or in a suitable solvent such as dimethylformamide (DMF), dimethoxyethane (DME) or tetrahydrofuran (THF) at about 25.degree.-125.degree. C. (preferably about 25.degree. C.) for about 1-48 hours to afford a compound 1a of Formula 1.
METHOD B
Step 1
In this method (R.sup.8 =CH.sub.2 -C.sub.6 H.sub.5, Y=O, n=0, 1), compound 2 (Reaction Scheme I) is treated with hydrogen under pressure (1 atm. or 2-3 atm.) in the presence of about 10%-100% weight equivalents of a catalyst such as 5% Pd/C, 10% Pd/C or PtO.sub.2 in a suitable solvent such as ethanol (EtOH), ethyl acetate, methanol (CH.sub.3 OH), isopropanol, petroleum ether, preferably EtOH, at 10.degree.-40.degree. C. (preferably 25.degree. C.) for about 25-36 hours to obtain compound 1a.
Step 2
Compound 2 is first treated as described above in Method B, Step 1, to obtain an intermediate phenol dihydropyridine which is then treated with about 0.1-0.3 meq (preferably 0.1 meq) of an acid (toluenesulfonic acid, camphorsulfonic acid, trifluoroacetic acid, methanesulfonic acid, sulfuric acid; preferably, camphorsulfonic acid) in a solvent such as CH.sub.2 Cl.sub.2, CHCl.sub.3, dichloroethane, THF, DME, or mixtures thereof (preferably methylene chloride) at about 25.degree. to 50.degree.

METHOD C
Dihydropyridine 2 (R.sup.8 =CH.sub.2 -C.sub.6 H.sub.5 or ##STR4## Y=O or S, n=0 or 1) (Reaction Scheme I) is treated under an inert atmosphere (Ar or N.sub.2) with about 5-50 meq (preferably 10 meq trifluoroacetic acid neat or in the presence of a solvent (anisole, CH.sub.2 Cl.sub.2, CHCl.sub.3, dichloroethane) at 25.degree.-100.degree. C. (preferably 25.degree. C.) for about 10-60 minutes to obtain the Formula 1 compound. ##STR5##
METHOD D
In this method (Reaction Scheme II R.sup.8 =C.sub.1 -C.sub.8 alkyl, benzyl, paramethoxybenzyl; Y=O; n=O; and, X, W, Z and U are not alkoxy), dihydropyridine or naphthyldihydropyridine 2 is treated under an inert atmosphere (Ar or N.sub.2) with about 1 meq BBr.sub.3 or BCl.sub.3 in an organic solvent (CH.sub.2 Cl.sub.2, dichloromethane, CHCl.sub.3, benzene; preferably CH.sub.2 Cl.sub.2) at a temperature of about -78.degree. to 40.degree. C. for about 3 hours to obtain oxo-carbonyl bridged dihydropyridine intermediate 3. This intermediate 3 is then isolated and treated as described above in Method A, Step 2, to obtain the phenol dihydropyridine intermediate (Method B, Step 2) which is treated as described above in Method B, Step 2, to afford compound 1a. ##STR6##
METHOD E
Step 1
As shown in Reaction Scheme III, substituted benzoic acid 4 is treated under an inert atmosphere (Ar, N.sub.2) with about 1 meq of a borane complex such as borane/THF, borane/DMS, borane/piperidine (preferably borane/THF) in a polar aprotic solvent (THF, CH.sub.2 Cl.sub.2, toluene; preferably THF) at about 0.degree.-85.degree. (preferably 25.degree. C.) for 2 hours to obtain methoxy benzoic acid intermediate 5.
Step 2
Intermediate 5 is then treated with about 1.2 meq of a thioalkanoate compound, preferably potassium thioacetate ##STR7## or sodium thioacetate ##STR8## (R.sup.6 =C.sub.1 -C.sub.8 alkyl; C.sub.6 or C.sub.10 aryl) using DMF as the solvent under the same conditions as in Step 1 to yield the methylthioacetate intermediate 6.
Step 3
Thioacetate intermediate 6 is then reacted with about 2 meq (preferably 1.5 meq) MnO.sub.2, pyridinium chlorochromate (PCC), Collins reagent, dimethylsulfoxide (DMSO), oxalylchoride/triethylamine (TEA) (preferably MnO.sub.2) in an organic solvent (CH.sub.2 Cl.sub.2, dichloroethane, benzene, hexane; preferably CH.sub.2 Cl.sub.2) at about -75.degree. to 110.degree. C. (preferably 25.degree. C.) for about 48 hours to obtain aldehyde intermediate 7.
Step 4
Aldehyde intermediate 7 is reacted under an inert atmosphere (Ar, N.sub.2) with about 1 meq each of acetoacetate ##STR9## and aminocrotonate ##STR10## in a polar solvent (isopropanol, EtOH, CH.sub.3 OH, toluene, DME, THF; preferably isopropanol) at 60.degree.-130.degree. C., preferably the reflux temperature of the solvent to afford dihydropyridine intermediate 8.
Step 5
Upon treatment with a base (K.sub.2 CO.sub.3, KOH, Na.sub.2 CO.sub.3, NaOH; preferably K.sub.2 CO.sub.3) in a lower alkanol solvent (methanol, ethanol; preferably methanol) under an inert atmosphere (Ar, N.sub.2) at a temperature of about 25.degree.-110.degree. C. (preferably 25.degree. C.) for 2 hours, intermediate 8 is converted to the methyl-sulfur bridged compound 1b of the invention.
Further treatment of compound 1b with a suitable oxidizing agent such as metachloroperoxybenzoic acid, osmium tetroxide, sodium periodate, hydrogen peroxide, t-butyl hydroperoxide, and the like, affords the sulfoxide compound 1c of the invention. ##STR11##
METHOD F
As shown in Reaction Scheme IV, substituted halobenzonitrile 9 is treated with the sulfhydryl compound, HSR.sup.10 (1-5 meq) in a solvent (dimethylformamide (DMF), CH.sub.3 OH, EtOH, isopropanol or N-methyl-2-pyrolidinone) in the presence of an alkali (lithium hydride, sodium hydride, potassium hydride, potassium carbonate, sodium methoxide, sodium ethoxide, potassium hydroxide) at about 0.degree.-100.degree. C. (preferably 0.degree.-25.degree. C. ) for about 5 hours to obtain substituted thiobenzonitrile intermediate 10.
Treatment of intermediate 10 with diisobutylaluminum hydride (DIBAL) (1-2 meq) under an inert atmosphere (Ar, N.sub.2) in an organic solvent (CH.sub.2 Cl.sub.2, THF, hexane, toluene, dichloroethane) at about -78.degree. C. to the reflux temperature of the solvent (preferably -78.degree. to 25.degree. C.) for about 3 hours followed by treatment with an aqueous acid (HCl, H.sub.2 SO.sub.4, acetic acid) affords aldehyde intermediate 11.
Intermediate 11 is then reacted with 1 meq each of an acetoacetate and an aminocrotonate in the same solvent at a temperature of about 25.degree.-130.degree. C. for about 12 hours to obtain dihydropyridine intermediate 12 which can then be reacted with trifluoroacetic acid and anisole (each at 5-50 meq; preferably 5 meq) either neat or in an organic solvent (CH.sub.2 Cl.sub.2, dichloroethane, or CHCl.sub.3), under an inert atmosphere (Ar, N.sub.2) at about 0.degree.-100.degree. C. (preferably 0.degree.-25.degree. C.) for about 15 minutes to directly yield the sulfur bridged compound 1d of the invention.
Alternatively, dihydropyridine intermediate 12 is oxidized as described in Method E, Step 5, to obtain sulfonyl dihydropyridine intermediate 13 which is then treated with an alkanoic acid anhydride such as acetic anhydride ##STR12## ps (10-100 meq, preferably 5-50 meq) under an inert atmosphere (Ar, N.sub.2) at about 80.degree.-130.degree. C. (preferably 90.degree. C.) for about 1 hour to obtain dihydropyridine intermediate 14. Upon treatment with an alkali (potassium carbonate, sodium hydride, lithium hydride, potassium hydride, potassium hydroxide, sodium hydroxide) under an inert atmosphere (Ar, N.sub.2) in a lower alkanol organic solvent (ethanol, methanol) at about 25.degree.-100.degree. C. (preferably 25.degree. C.) for about 5 hours, intermediate 14 affords compound 1d.
Compounds of Formula 1 can exist in different isomeric forms such as, for example, threo, erythro, diasteromeric, enantiomeric, and all such forms are included within the scope of this invention.
As indicated above, the compounds of this invention are useful as calcium entry blockers, and thus have broad pharmacological utility in that they exhibit (i) pronounced and long-lasting vasodilating effect accompanied by an energy-sparing effect on cardiac metabolism; (ii) antiarrythmic and antianginal action on cardiac muscle; (iii) vascular spasmolytic action; (iv) antihypertensive action; (v) spasmolytic action on the smooth muscle of the gastrointestinal and urogenital tracts and the cerebrovascular and respiratory system; (vi) are useful cholesterolemic and lipademic agents and for treating cerebral and peripheral circulatory disorders; (vii) protect ischemic myocardium; (viii) inhibit irritable bowel syndrome and esophagus spasm; and, (ix) inhibit migraine. Some of these compounds may also be useful cardiotonic agents.
The compounds of the present invention were found to inhibit vascular calcium contraction, reduce cardiac contractile force, inhibit tracheal calcium contraction, inhibit calcium uptake in pituitary cells, and displace tritiated nitrendepine from membranes.
The compounds of the present invention can be administered in any suitable form; e.g. orally, sublingually, transdermally, or parenterally; i.e. intravenously, interperitoneally, etc. Thus, the compounds can be offered in a form (a) for oral administration e.q. as tablets in combination with other compounding ingredients customarily ued such as talc, vegetable oils, polyols, benzyl alcohols, gums, gelatin, starches and other carriers; dissolved or dispersed or emulsified in a suitable liquid carrier; in capsules or encapsulated in a suitable encapsulating material; or (b) for sublingual administration; e.g., nitroglycerine tablets, lactose tablets, and the like, for rapid dissolution or high molecular weight methylcellulose tablets, carboxymethylcellulose tablets, and the like, for slower, time-releasing delivery; or, (c) for parenteral administration e.g. dissolved or dispersed in a suitable liquid carrier or emulsified. The ratio of active compound to compounding ingredients i.e. carrier, diluent etc. will vary as the dosage form requires. Whatever form is used, the amount of compound of the present invention administered should be sufficient to achieve the pharmaceutical and/or therapeutic effect desired or required in the patient. Generally, doses of the compounds of the invention of from about 30 to about 3000 mg per day may be used, preferably about 100 to about 1000 mg per day. Dosages may be single or multiple depending on the daily total required and the unit dosage administered. Of course, the dose will vary depending upon the nature and severity of disease, weight of the patient, and other factors which a person skilled in the art will recognize.
It is often advantageous to administer compounds of this invention in combination with angiotensin converting enzyme inhibitors and/or antihypertensives and/or diuretics and/or B-blocking agents, and/or cardiotonic agents. For example, the compounds of this invention can be given in combination with such compounds as enalapril, hydralazine hydrochloride, hydrochlorothiazide, methyldopa, timolol, digitalis and the like, as well as admixtures and combinations thereof.
Typically, the individual daily dosages for these combinations can range from about one-fifth of the minimally recommended clinical dosages to the maximum recommended levels for the entities when they are given singly. Naturally, these dose ranges can be adjusted on a unit basis as necessary to permit divided daily dosages and, as noted above, can be varied depending on the nature and severity of the disease, weight of patient, special diets and other factors.

EXAMPLE 1
Diethyl 3,6-dihydro-2,4-dimethyl-8-nitro-2,6-methano-2H-1,3-benzoxazocine-5,11-dic arboxylate (18&19) ##STR13##
Step 1: Ethyl 3,10-B-dihydro-2,4-dimethyl-9-nitro-5-oxo-5H-(1)-benzopyrano-(3,4-c)pyridi ne-1-carboxylate
A stirred solution of 404 mg (1 mm) of diethyl 2,6-dimethyl-4-(2-methoxy-5-nitrophenyl)-1,4-dihydropyridine-3,5-dicarboxy late 15 in 20 mL of dry CH.sub.2 Cl.sub.2 cooled to -78.degree. C. under an Ar atmosphere was treated dropwise with 1.25 mL of 1.0M BBr.sub.3 in CH.sub.2 Cl.sub.2. The cooling bath was removed and the mixture was allowed to reach 25.degree. C. After 20 minutes at 25.degree. C., the reaction was quenched with saturated aqueous NaHCO.sub.3 and extracted with CH.sub.2 Cl.sub.2. The combined organic phases were washed with 5% aqueous NaHCO.sub.3, and brine, dried (anhydrous MgSO.sub.4), filtered, concentrated and recrystallized (5% EtOH in CH.sub.2 Cl.sub.2) to afford 320 mg (93%) of ethyl 3,10B-dihydro-2,4-dimethyl-9-nitro-5-oxo-5H-(1)-benzopyrano(3,4-c)pyridine -1-carboxylate 16.

This was neutralized with 30 ml of saturated aqueous NH.sub.4 Cl and extracted with CH.sub.2 Cl.sub.2 (200 ml). The organic portion was washed with pH 7 phosphate buffer (20 mL) and brine, dried (anhydrous Na.sub.2 SO.sub.4), filtered and concentrated to give 420 mg of crude phenol 17.
Step 3
The crude phenol 17 was dissolved in anhydrous CH.sub.2 Cl.sub.2 and stirred under Ar with 15 mg of dl-camphorsulfonic acid for 3 hours at 25.degree. C. The mixture was then neutralized by washing with pH 7 phosphate buffer and brine, dried (anhydrous MgSO.sub.4), filtered, concentrated to give 400 mg of crude mixture of 2 cyclized products. This was then flash chromatographed (silica gel, 75% ether in hexane) to separate the fast diastereomer 18 (100 mg) and the slower diastereomer. This slower product was further purified by preparative thick layer chromatography (PTLC) (silica gel, 2.5% acetone in CH.sub.2 Cl.sub.2) and the product crystallized from ether/hexane; yield, 100 mg of 19.
