The products of Formula (I) can be produced from bicyclic intermediate VIII and from the separated, preferred diastereomers of VIII; i.e., VIIIa and VIIIb. The synthesis of compound VIII can be conducted from, for example, 2(S)-amino-6-hydroxyhexanoic acid II as shown in Reaction Scheme I below wherein R.sub.2 is as defined above. ##STR2##
As shown in Reaction Scheme I above, known starting material II is protected as the phthalimido derivative III and oxidized with pyridinium dichromate to the aldehyde, 5-formyl-2(S)-phthalimidopentanoic acid IV. Condensation with an ester of R-cysteine yields a diastereomeric mixture of thiazolidines V which, upon treatment with N-ethoxycarbonyl-2-ethoxy-1,2-dihydroquinoline, undergo ring closure to form S, R, R(VI) and S, S, R(VII) methyl 6-phthalimidooctahydro-5-oxothiazolo[3,2-a]azepine-3-carboxylate. The isomers are separated by liquid chromatography and are deprotected by treatment with hydrazine to yield aminoesters VIIIa and VIIIb. The ester group can then be removed with dilute alkali to yield the acids (R.sub.2 .dbd.H) of VIIIa and VIIIb.
As summarized in Reaction Scheme II below, products of Formula I can be prepared from the diastereomeric mixture of amino cyclic lactams VIII or from diastereomerically pure compounds VIIIa and VIIIb by reductive alkylation of these intermediates with .alpha.-keto acids or .alpha.-keto esters IX. In these alkylations, one typically uses sodium cyanoborohydride under neutral conditions, but it is also possible to employ hydrides bearing optically active ligands or sterically bulky ligands selected to improve the sterochemical control in these reductions. Alternatively, the reductive alkylations can be achieved by catalytic hydrogenation over 10% palladium on carbon or other suitable catalysts.
The final stages in these syntheses are to separate the desired diastereomers by chromatography or crystallization and to remove protecting groups, if present, by standard means. When identical diesters of Formula I are desired, they can be prepared from, for example, diacids of I(R.dbd.R.sub.2 .dbd.H) using the desired alcohols under anhydrous acidic conditions. ##STR3##
In Reaction Scheme III which follows, an alternate route to compounds of Formula I is shown which involves a variation in the sequence of the reactions utilized in Reaction Schemes I and II. In Reaction Scheme III, the reductive alkylation using IX is performed on intermediate X followed by ring closure of intermediate XII to yield products of Formula I after chromatography and removal of protecting groups. In this sequence, R, R.sub.1 and R.sub.2 are as defined above (except R, R.sub.2 .noteq.H) and Z is optionally hydrogen or a suitable protecting functionality such as, for example, the formyl group. The ring forming and reductive alkylation reactions are performed under substantially the same conditions as utilized in and described above for Reaction Schemes I and II. ##STR4##
Intermediate VIII has three asymmetric carbon atoms: one bears the NH.sub.2 group; another is that bearing the hydrogen at the ring juncture; and, a third is that bearing the CO.sub.2 R.sub.2 group. The preferred absolute configuration at these centers are 6(S), 9a(R), 3(R)(VIIIa) and 6(S), 9a(S), 3(R)(VIIIb).
In Formula I compounds, the carbon atom bearing R.sub.1 is also asymmetric (R.sub.1 .noteq.H). Both isomers in this position have some biological activity, although the natural L-aminoacid configuration is preferred. In most cases, the absolute configuration at this center is designated (S).
Preferred diastereomers are isolated by chromatography or crystallization of intermediates or the end products or their salts. One can also resolve intermediates by the use of optically active salts or bases. Finally, if desired, compounds of this invention can also be employed as a mixture of their enantiomers or diastereomers.
The .alpha.-keto acids and .alpha.-keto esters IX utilized in the process of the invention are known in the art or can be made by numerous, known methods. For example, synthons such as ##STR5## can be converted to .alpha.-keto acids or esters using methods involving alkylation followed by hydrolysis as described in the literature. An excellent method involves the reaction of Grignard reagents R.sub.1 MgX with ClCOCO.sub.2 Y or YO.sub.2 CCO.sub.2 Y. Another method involves condensing substituted acetic acid esters with diethyl oxalate followed by hydrolytic decarboxylation under acidic conditions to obtain .alpha.-keto acids. Carefully controlled acid hydrolysis in alcohol of acyl cyanides, which are prepared from acid chlorides and cuprous cyanide, also proves to be a viable synthetic route to .alpha.-keto esters. Nucleophilic displacement reactions on chloro or bromo pyvuric acid (ester) can also be used to produce a variety of interesting .alpha.-keto acids (esters). In these formulae, Y is a group such as loweralkyl or benzyl and protecting groups are employed as necessary in the R.sub.1 group if interfering functionality is present.
The compounds of this invention form salts with various inorganic and organic acids and bases which are also within the scope of the invention. Such salts include ammonium salts, alkali metal salts like sodium and potassium salts, alkaline earth metal salts like the calcium and magnesium salts, salts with organic bases e.g., dicyclohexylamine salts, N-methyl-D-glucamine, salts with amino acids like arginine, lysine and the like. Also salts with organic and inorganic acids may be prepared, e.g., HCl, HBr, H.sub.2 SO.sub.4, H.sub.3 PO.sub.4, methanesulfonic, toluenesulfonic, maleic, fumaric, camphorsulfonic. The non-toxic physiologically acceptable salts are preferred, although other salts are also useful, e.g., in isolating or purifying the product.
The salts may be formed by conventional means as by reacting the free acid or free base forms of the product with one or more equivalents of the appropriate base or acid in a solvent or medium in which the salt is insoluble, or in a solvent such as water which is then removed in vacuo or by freeze-drying or by exchanging the cations of an existing salt for another cation on a suitable ion exchange resin.
The compounds of this invention inhibit angiotensin converting enzyme and thus block conversion of the decapeptide angiotensin I to angiotensin II. Angiotensin II is a potent pressor substance. Thus, blood-pressure lowering can result from inhibition of its biosynthesis especially in animals and humans whose hypertension is angiotensin II related. Furthermore, converting enzyme degrades the vasodepressor substance, bradykinin. Therefore, inhibitors of angiotensin converting enzyme may lower blood-pressure also by potentiation of bradykinin. Although the relative importance of these and other possible mechanisms remains to be established, inhibitors of angiotensin converting enzyme are effective antihypertensive agents in a variety of animal models and are useful clinically, for example, in many human patients with renovascular, malignant and essential hypertension. See, for example, D. W. Cushman et al., Biochemistry 16, 5484 (1977).
The evaluation of converting enzyme inhibitors is guided by in vitro enzyme inhibition assays. For example, a useful method is that of Y. Piquilloud, A. Reinharz and M. Roth, Biochem. Biophys. Acta, 206, 136 (1970) in which the hydrolysis of carbobenzyloxyphenylalanylhistidinylleucine is measured. In vivo evaluations may be made, for example, in normotensive rats challenged with angiotensin I by the technique of J. R. Weeks and J. A. Jones, Proc. Soc. Exp. Biol. Med., 104, 646 (1960) or in a high renin rat model such as that of S. Koletsky et al., Proc. Soc. Exp. Biol. Med. 125, 96 (1967).
Thus, the compounds of this invention are useful as antihypertensives in treating hypertensive mammals, including humans, and they can be utilized to achieve the reduction of blood pressure by formulating in compositions such as tablets, capsules or elixirs for oral administration or in sterile solutions or suspensions for parenteral administration. The compounds of this invention can be administered to patients in need of such treatment in a dosage range of 0.5 to 100 mg per patient generally given several times, thus giving a total daily dose of from 0.5 to 400 mg per day. The dose will vary depending on severity of disease, weight of 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 other antihypertensives and/or diuretics. For example, the compounds of this invention can be given in combination with such compounds as amiloride, atenolol, bendroflumethiazide, chlorothalidone, chlorothiazide, clonidine, cryptenamine acetate and cryptenamine tannates, deserpidine, diazoxide, ethacrynic acid, furosemide, guanethidene sulfate, hydralazine hydrochloride, hydrochlorothiazide, hydroflumethiazide, metolazone, metoprolol tartate, methyclothiazide, methyldopa, methyldopate hydrochloride, minoxidil, (S)-1-{[2-(3,4-dimethoxyphenyl)ethyl]amino}-3-{[4-(2-thienyl)-1H-imidazol- 2-yl]phenoxy}-2-propanol, polythiazide, the pivaloyloxyethyl ester of methyldopa, indacrinone and variable ratios of its enantiomers, nifedipine, verapamil, diltiazam, flumethiazide, bendroflumethiazide, atenolol, (+)-4-{3-{-[2-(1-hydroxycyclohexyl)ethyl]-4-oxo-2-thiazolidinyl}propyl}ben zoic acid, bumetanide, prazosin, propranolol, rauwolfia serpentina, rescinnamine, reserpine, spironolactone, timolol, trichlormethiazide, benzthiazide, quinethazone, tricrynafan, triamterene, acetazolamide, aminophylline, cyclothiazide, merethoxylline procaine, 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.
To illustrate these combinations, one of the antihypertensives of this invention effective clinically in the 0.5-100 milligrams per day range can be effectively combined at levels at the 0.1-100 milligrams per day range with the following compounds at the indicated per day dose range: hydrochlorothiazide (10-100 mg), timolol (5-60 mg), methyldopa (65-2000 mg), the pivaloyloxyethyl ester of methyldopa (30-1000 mg), indacrinone and variable ratios of its enantiomers (25-150 mg) and (+)-4-{3-{[2-(1-hydroxycyclohexyl)ethyl]-4-oxo-2-thiazolidinyl}propyl}-ben zoic acid (10-100 mg).
In addition, the triple drug combinations of hydrochlorothiazide (10-100 mg) plus timolol (5-60 mg) plus converting enzyme inhibitor of this invention (0.5-100 mg) or hydrochlorothiazide (10-100 mg) plus amiloride (5-20 mg) plus converting enzyme inhibitor of this invention (0.5-100 mg) are effective combinations to control blood pressure in hypertensive patients. Naturally, these dose ranges can be adjusted on a unit basis as necessary to permit divided daily dosage and, as noted above, the dose will vary depending on the nature and severity of the disease, weight of patient, special diets and other factors.
Typically, the combinations shown above are formulated into pharmaceutical compositions as discussed below.
About 0.1 to 50 mg of a compound or mixture of compounds of Formula I or a physiologically acceptable salt is compounded with a physiologically acceptable vehicle, carrier, excipient, binder, preservative, stabilizer, flavor, etc., in a unit dosage form as called for by accepted pharmaceutical practice. The amount of active substance in these compositions or preparations is such that a suitable dosage in the range indicated is obtained.
Illustrative of the adjuvants which may be incorporated in tablets, capsules, and the like are the following: a binder such as gum tragacanth, acacia, corn starch or gelatin; an excipient such as microcrystalline cellulose; a disintegrating agent such as corn starch, pregelatinized starch, alginic acid and the like; a lubricant such as magnesium stearate; a sweetening agent such as sucrose, lactose or saccharin; a flavoring agent such as peppermint, oil of wintergreen or cherry. When the dosage unit form is a capsule, it may contain, in addition to materials of the above type, a liquid carrier such as fatty oil. Various other materials may be present as coatings or to otherwise modify the physical form of the dosage unit. For instance, tablets may be coated with shellac, sugar or both. A syrup or elixir may contain the active compound, sucrose as a sweetening agent, methyl and propyl parabens as preservatives, a dye and a flavoring such as cherry or orange flavor.
Sterile compositions for injection can be formulated according to conventional pharmaceutical practice by dissolving or suspending the active substance in a vehicle such as water for injection, a naturally occurring vegetable oil like sesame oil, coconut oil, peanut oil, cottonseed oil, etc. or a synthetic fatty vehicle like ethyl oleate or the like. Buffers, preservatives, antioxidants and the like can be incorporated as required.
The following examples are illustrative of the invention and constitute especially preferred embodiments. The preferred diastereomers of these examples are isolated by conventional column chromatography or fractional crystallization. Unless otherwise indicated, all temperatures are in degrees Celsius.
