Description
This invention relates to novel N-substituted derivatives of 1-(4'-alkylthiophenyl)-2-amino-1,3-propanediol, to their salts with pharmaceutically acceptable organic and inorganic acids, to the processes for preparing them, to the pharmaceutical compositions containing them and to intermediates useful in the preparation thereof.
More particularly this invention relates to the compounds of Formula: ##STR1## wherein R is an alkyl radical having from 1 to 4 carbon atoms;
n is 0 or 1;
A is an alkyl radical having from 2 to 6 carbon atoms;
R1 is hydrogen or an alkyl radical having from 1 to 6 carbon atoms;
R2 is an alkyl radical having from 1 to 6 carbon atoms, a phenoxyalkyl radical, a mono- or di-phenylalkyl radical where the alkyl radical has from 1 to 6 carbon atoms and the phenyl moiety can be substituted by one or two substituents, equal or different between them, which are selected from the group comprising halogen, 1-4 C alkyl and 1-4 C alkoxy, or
R1 and R2, together with the nitrogen atom to which they are linked, form a 5-6 membered heterocyclic ring which can contain another hetero-atom selected from the group comprising oxygen, sulfur, nitrogen and nitrogen substituted by a 3-6 C cycloalkyl, a 1-6 C alkyl or by a mono- or a diphenylalkyl radical where, in turn, the alkyl radical has from 1 to 6 carbon atoms and the phenyl moiety can be substituted by one or two substituents, equal or different between them, which are selected from the group comprising halogen, 1-4 C alkyl and 1-4 C alkoxy,
and their salts with pharmaceutically acceptable organic or inorganic acids.
The compounds (I) can exist in various stereoisomeric forms in that they contain two asymmetric carbon atoms and other asymmetric carbon atoms may present in R1 and R2. This invention relates either each stereoisomer or the mixtures thereof.
As to the meanings of A, R, R1 and R2, the term "alkyl" is intended to comprise either straight or branched chains as well as saturated and unsaturated chains.
Preferred meanings are:
R=methyl or ethyl;
n=0 or 1;
A=ethyl;
R1=hydrogen, methyl or ethyl;
R2=alkyl radical having from 1 to 4 carbon atoms, phenoxyalkyl radical, mono- and diphenylalkyl radical where the alkyl radical has from 1 to 6 C atoms and the phenyl moiety can be substituted by one or two substituents, equal or different between them, which are selected from the group comprising halogen and 1-4 C alkoxy,
R1 and R2, together with the nitrogen atom to which they are linked, form a piperazinyl radical where the terminal nitrogen is substituted by a cyclohexyl, a diphenylmethyl or a di(fluorophenyl)-methyl radical.
The compounds (I) according to this invention can be prepared according to various methods.
The preferred method is consisting in reacting a propanediol of Formula I wherein n is 0 and R1.dbd.R2.dbd.H, with a suitable carbonyl derivative to afford an acylamino derivative or a Schiff base and in their subsequent reduction to give the compounds I wherein R1.dbd.H.
Some intermediates which are thus obtained are novel and are a further object of this invention.
More particularly, are novel the compounds of Formula ##STR2## wherein R is an alkyl radical having from 1 to 4 carbon atoms;
B is an alkyl radical having from 1 to 5 carbon atoms, and
when n is 0
R3 is hydrogen,
R4 is a phenyloxyalkanoyl, a mono or a di-diphenylalkanoyl radical, where the alkanoyl radical has from 1 to 6 carbon atoms and the phenyl moiety can be substituted by one or two substituents, equal or different between them, which are selected from the group comprising halogen, 1-4 C alkyl and 1-4 C alkoxy, or
R3 and R4, together, are phenoxyalkylidine, mono- or di-phenylalkylidene, where the alkylidene radical has from 1 to 6 carbon atoms and the phenyl moiety can be substituted by one or two substituents, equal or different between them, which are selected from the group comprising halogen, 1-4 C alkyl or 1-4 C alkoxy,
and when n is 1,
R3 is an alkyl having from 1 to 6 carbon atoms,
R4 is an alkyl having from 1 to 6 carbon atoms, or
R3 and R4, together with the nitrogen atom to which they are linked, form a 5-6 membered heterocyclic ring which can contain another hetero-atom selected from the group comprising oxygen, sulfur, nitrogen and nitrogen substituted by a 3-6 C cycloalkyl, a 1-6 C alkyl or by a mono- or a diphenylalkyl radical where, in turn, the alkyl radical has from 1 to 6 carbon atoms and the phenyl moiety can be substituted by one or two substituents, equal or different between them, which are selected from the group comprising halogen, 1-4 C alkyl and 1-4 C alkoxy.
Suitable carbonyl derivatives which can be reacted with the compounds of Formula I where R1.dbd.R2.dbd.H are the aldehydes, the ketones or the acyl halides, esters and anhydrides.
When the carbonyl derivative is an acyl halide, the reaction is preferably carried out according to known techniques in the presence of a suitable diluent and of an organic or inorganic base to capture the hydrogen halide formed during the reaction.
When the carbonyl derivative is an aldehyde or a ketone the reaction is preferably carried out according to known techniques by using an apparatus which allows to separate the water formed during the reaction. An example of such an apparatus is the Dean and Stark separator.
Also the subsequent reduction of the acylamino derivative or of the Schiff base is carried out according to known techniques. In case of acylamino derivatives the preferred reducing agent is lithium aluminium hydride.
In case of Schiff bases the preferred reducing agents are lithium aluminium hydride and sodium borohydride.
The thus obtained compound of Formula I where R is hydrogen can be, if desired, again alkylated. Also this reaction is carried out according to known techniques such as the Leuckart-Wallach reaction.
Another method particularly useful for preparing the compounds of Formula I where R1 and R2 form a heterocyclic ring is consisting in reacting a compound of Formula I wherein both R1 and R2 are hydrogen with a suitable compound of formula X--(CH.sub.2).sub.n --Y--(CH.sub.2).sub.m --X wherein n is 1, 2 or 3, m is 1, 2 or 3, provided that m+n is 3 or 4, X is halogen, mesyloxy or tosyloxy, Y is O, S, NH or a tertiary nitrogen. Also this reaction is carried out by capturing the hydrogen halide which is formed according to known techniques such as, for example, the addition of suitable organic or inorganic bases.
Alternatively, the above mentioned techniques can be applied to a precursor which can then be easily transformed into the desired compound of Formula I.
Examples of useful precursors are the aminoketones of Formula ##STR3## wherein R has the above mentioned meanings, which can firstly be acylated and then treated with formaldehyde to give a 1-(p-alkylthiophenyl)-2-acylamino-1,3-propanediol which is finally reduced to the corresponding compound of Formula I.
The reduction of the keto group to alcohol and that of the acylamino group or of the Schiff base can proceed contemporaneously or in the desired sequence.
In view of the desired final compound as well as of the cost and of the availability of the raw materials, the artisan will be able to choose case by case other strategies of synthesis which make use of known techniques.
The novel Compounds of Formula I are endowed with calcium antagonist activity and are useful as antiarrhythmic and vasodilating agents.
The evaluation of the calcium antagonist activity has been performed on isolated rabbit aorta according to the test of A. Brockaert and T. Godfraind (Eur. J. Pharmacol. 53, 281-288, 1979).
The antagonist effect has been referred as ratio between the CaCl.sub.2 concentration producing a 50% contraction of the vascular smooth muscle in presence or in absence (Table 2) of various compounds (10.sup.-6 M, 10.sup.-5 M).
The relationship between the chemical structure of various compounds and their code numbers is shown in Table 1.
The evaluation of the antiarrhythmic activity has been performed in the anesthetized rat with the method of M. Malinov et al. (Am. J. Physiol. 172, 743-746, 1953).
Arrythmia has been induced by administering (0.25 ml in 30 seconds) a saline solution containing 15% of calcium chloride into the jugular vein.
In these experimental conditions arrythmia occurs in the 90% of the animals. The compounds have been administered intravenously ten minutes before calcium chloride. The antiarrythmic activity has been referred as dose effective to antagonize the appearance of arrythmia in the 50% of the treated animals (ED.sub.50).
The result are shown in Table 3.
The evaluation of the coronary dilating activity has been performed with the method of O. Nieschultz, et al. (Arzneim. Forsch. 5, 680, 1955). The coronary spasm induced by Vasopressin corresponds to the flattering of T wave in the E.C.G. The coronary dilating activity of the compounds has been referred as dose effective 50 in restoring the T wave in the 50% of the animals within 2 minutes after the administration. The compounds have been administered intravenously 60 seconds after Vasopressin.
The results are shown in Table 4.
Furthermore, tolerability has been tested in the same experimental conditions in which it has been performed the pharmacological study in vivo.
The tolerability test has been carried out by solubilizing the compounds in 40% glyceril formal.
Tolerability has been referred as effective dose to reduce heart rate of 20%. Therapeutic index has been determined as ratio between the dose inducing bradycardia 20 and the effective anti-anginal dose 50.
The results are shown in Table 4.
The experimental data prove that the compounds of this invention show a remarkable calcium antagonist activity even when compared with known drugs.
In addition, their calcium antagonist activity is very specific because the same compounds are not active when tested on the rabbit aorta contraction induced by norepinephrine (Eur. J. Pharmacol. 53, 281-283, 1975) at those concentrations which had been previously used to test the antagonism induced by calcium chloride.
Finally, a further object of this invention are the pharmaceutical compositions containing, as active ingredient, the compounds of Formula I or their pharmaceutically acceptable salts together with organic or inorganic solid or liquid, pharmaceutical excipients.
The pharmaceutical dosage forms can be solid, such as tablets, dragees, capsules, powders, granules and suppositories, or liquid such as solutions, suspensions and emulsions, or semi-solids such as creams and ointments.
They can be also prepared in such a way to allow a substained release of the drug.
In addition they may contain preserving agents, stabilizers, wetting or emulsifying agents, salts for regulating the osmotic pressure, buffers, dyestuffs, flavouring agents etc.
They may be prepared according to known methods and may further contain other therapeutic ingredients.
The following examples are given to illustrate this invention, without limiting it in any way.
