R.sup.8 =benzyloxycarbonyl, t-butoxycarbonyl, other appropriate blocking groups known in peptide chemistry.
X=iodo or bromo
Lysine [or an (E-substituted lysine (R.sup.2 .noteq.H) which can be prepared by the procedure of Blicke et al., J. Am. Chem. Soc, 76, 2317 (1954) followed by that of Tull et al., J. Org. Chem. 29, 2425 (1964)] is converted to the N.sup..alpha. -protected derivative II by methods known in the art. Suitable protecting groups R.sub.8 include the phthalimido, t-butoxycarbonyl, and benzyloxycarbonyl groups. R.sup.7 may be OH or alkoxy as the methods below require and R.sup.4 is as defined. Intermediate II is reductively coupled with the keto acid or ester III in aqueous solution, preferably near neutrality or in a suitable organic solvent, such as methanol or acetonitrile, in the presence of sodium cyanoborohydride or if protecting groups do not interefere with hydrogen and a suitable catalyst to yield IV. This intermediate, with R.sup.4 =OH and R.sup.7 =OR.sup.9, is warmed in an organic solvent, such as acetonitrile, with a base such as triethylamine to obtain the perhydroazepinone V. The blocking group R.sup.8 is removed by appropriate known methods, and the resulting compound VI is reductively coupled with keto acid, ester, etc. VII to obtain I. Substituents at R and R.sup.4 may be altered by standard methods if desired.
Intermediate II may also be alkylated with a haloester such as VIII.
Furthermore, intermediate IV with R.sup.4 not OH and R.sup.7 =OH may be cyclized to V by the use of dicyclohexylcarbodiimide and N-hydroxysuccinimide in a suitable solvent such as DMF or methylene chloride. Other known peptide coupling methods may also be used if desired. ##STR3## XII--A=p-toluenesulfonate ester XIII--A=Br
Alternatively a hydroxyaminoacid X [Gandry, Can. J. Res., 26B, 387 (1948)] is converted to the N-protected hydroxy acid XI by established techniques, then the terminal hydroxyl is activated by known methods such as conversion to the tosyl ester XII or to the bromide XIII. Reaction with amino acid XIV affords the intermediate IV, which may be converted to I as described above. ##STR4##
Substituted caprolactams (R.sup.2 .noteq.H), are conveniently prepared via Beckman ring expansion of the corresponding 2-substituted cyclohexanone oximes using standard reaction conditions. These caprolactams can then be halogenated and converted to 3-amino derivatives via displacement reactions described, for example, by Blacke, et al. and Tull, et al. above; Wineman, et al., J. Am. Chem. Soc. 80, 6233 (1958) and Francis et al., J. Am. Chem. Soc. 80, 6238 (1958). Aminolactams XV are then alkylated on the exocyclic nitrogen using reagents VII or IX by the methods described above to obtain XVI. Alkylation of XVI with VIII in the presence of a strong base such as sodium hydride in a solvent such as DMF or THF affords I. ##STR5##
The halocaprolactam XVII (Blicke and Tull cited above) can also be alkylated with reagent VIII in the presence of a strong base such as sodium hydride in a suitable solvent such as DMF or THF to obtain the alkylated halolactam XVIII. Treatment with azide ion followed by catalytic hydrogenation affords the intermediate VI described above. ##STR6##
The halocaprolactam XVII is reacted with the amino acid derivative XIX to obtain the intermediate XVI for conversion to I as described above.
The starting materials which are required for the above processes herein described are known in the literature or can be made by known methods from known starting materials.
In products of general Formula (I), the carbon atoms to which, R.sup.1, R.sup.2 and R.sup.3 are attached and the ring carbon atom to which the fragment ##STR7## is attached may be asymmetric. The compounds accordingly exist in diastereoisomeric forms or as enantiomers or mixtures thereof. The above described syntheses can utilize racemates, enantiomers or diastereomers as starting materials and intermediates. When diastereomeric products result from the synthetic procedures, the diastereomeric products can be separated by chromatographic or fractional crystallization methods. When racemic products result, they may be resolved by crystallization of salts of optically active acids or bases or by other methods known in the art. The asymmetric carbon atoms specified above may be in two configurations (S or R) and both are within the scope of this invention, although S is generally preferred except for the configurations at the carbon to which R.sup.2 is attached as exemplified in specific compounds of this invention.
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, 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 acids. The non-toxic physiologically aceptable salts are particularly valuable, although other salts are also useful, e.g., in isolating or purifying products.
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 results 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 the invention are useful in treating hypertension. They are also of value in the management of acute and chronic congestive heart failure, in the treatment of secondary hyperaldosteronism, scleroderma, primary and secondary pulmonary hyertension, renal failure and renal vascular hypertension, and in the management of vascular disorders such as migraine. The application of the compounds of this invention for these and similar disorders will be apparent to those skilled in the art.
In the management of hypertension and those clinical conditions noted above, the compounds of this invention may be utilized in compositions such as tablets, capsules or elixirs for oral administration, suppositories for rectal administration, sterile solutions or suspensions for parenteral or intramuscular administration, and the like. The compounds of this invention can be administered to patients in need of such treatment in dosages that will provide optimal pharmaceutical efficacy. Although the dose will vary from patient to patient depending upon the nature and severity of disease, the patient's weight, special diets then being followed by a patient, concurrent medication, and other factors which those skilled in the art will recognize, the dosage range will generally be about 1 to 200 mg. per patient per day which can be administered in single or multiple doses. Preferably, the dosage range will be about 2.5 to 100 mg per patient per day.
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, crypteanamine acetates and cryptenamine tannates, deserpidine, diazoxide, guanethidene sulfate, hydralazine hydrochloride, hydrochlorothiazide, hydroflumethiazide, metolazone, metoprololtartate, methyclothiazide, methyldopa, methyldopate hydrochloride, minoxidil, (S)-1-{[2-(3,4-dimethoxyphenyl)ethyl]amino.intg.-3-{[4-(2-thienyl)-1H-imid azol-2-yl]phenoxy.intg.-2-propanol, polythiazide, the pivaloyloxyethyl ester of methyldopa, indacrinone and variable ratios of its enantiomers, rifedipine, verapamil, diltiazam, flumethiazide, bendroflumethiazide, atenolol, (+)-4-{3-{[2-(1-hydroxycyclohexyl)ethyl]-4-oxo-2-thiazolidinyl.intg.propyl }benzoic acid, bumetanide, prazosin, propranolol, rauwolfia serpentina, rescinnamine, reserpine, spironolactone, timolol, trichloromethiazide, benzthiazide, quinethazone, triameterene, 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 maximum recomended levels for the entities when they are given singly.
To illustrate these combinations, one of the antihypertensives of this invention effective clinically in the 2.5-100 milligrams per day range can be effectively combined at levels at the 0.5-100 milligrams per day range with the following compounds at the indicated per day dose range: hydrochlorothiazide (10-100 mg), timolol (5-60 mg), methyl dopa (65-2000 mg), the pivaloyloxyethyl ester of methyl dopa (30-1000 mg), indacrinone and variable ratios of its enantiomers (25-150 mg) and (+)-4-{3{-[2-(1-hydroxycyclohexyl)ethyl]-4-oxo-2-thiazolidinyl.intg.propyl }-benzoic 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, these combinations can be formulated into pharmaceutical compositions as discussed below.
About 0.5 to 100 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 practive. 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 instace, 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 a 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.
