R.sub.2 is hydrogen, lower alkyl, lower alkoxy, halogen;
R.sub.3 is hydrogen, lower alkyl;
R.sub.4 is hydrogen, lower alkyl, alkanoyl of 1 to 6 carbon atoms, phenylalkanoyl of 7 to 10 carbon atoms wherein phenyl is optionally substituted with halogen, lower alkyl, or lower alkoxy;
R.sub.3 and R.sub.4 are joined together to form morpholinyl, piperidinyl or pyrrolidinyl optionally substituted with --CO.sub.2 R.sub.5 or ##STR16## wherein R.sub.5 is hydrogen or lower alkyl, and R.sub.6 is hydrogen, lower alkyl, cycloalkyl of 5 to 7 carbon atoms; 4-R.sub.7 -piperazinyl wherein R.sub.7 is --CO.sub.2 R.sub.8 wherein R.sub.8 is lower alkyl, phenyl optionally substituted with up to 2 halogen, lower alkyl or lower alkoxy; phenylalkanoyl of 7 to 10 carbon wherein phenyl is unsubstituted or independently substituted with up to 2 halogen, lower alkyl, lower alkoxy;
or a pharmaceutically acceptable salt thereof.
It is understood that as used herein limitations of Formula I are defined as follows:
The term "halogen" or "halo" comprehends fluorine, iodine, and most preferably bromine and chlorine.
The term "lower alkyl" refers to a branched or unbranched saturated hydrocarbon chain containing from 1 to 4 carbon atoms; specifically, methyl, ethyl, n-propyl, isopropyl, n-butyl, secondary butyl and tert.-butyl. The terms "alkyl of 1 to 4 carbon atoms" and "lower alkyl" are used interchangeably and specific terms may be represented by conventional symbols, i.e., Me.dbd.CH.sub.3, Et.dbd.C.sub.2 H.sub.5, etc.
The term "lower alkoxy" comprehends ethers containing from 1 to 4 carbon atoms as defined for alkyl; such as methoxy, ethoxy, isopropoxy, tert.-butoxy, and the like.
The term "alkanoyl of 1-6 carbon atoms" comprehends both unbranched or branched aliphatic acids such as, for example, formic acid, acetic acid, propanoic acid, butyric acid, pentanoic acid, hexanoic acid or any isomer of these acids which has up to 6 carbons atoms and is fully saturated.
The term "phenylalkanoyl" of 7 to 10 carbon atoms comprehends benzoic acid, phenylacetic acid, 3-phenylpropanoic acid, 4-phenylbutyric acid, 2-phenylpropanoic acid, and the like.
According to the present invention, the compounds characterized by Formula I and the pharmaceutically acceptable acid addition salts thereof are obtained by a process comprising
(a) reducing a substituted hydantoin of Formula II ##STR17## wherein R.sub.1, R.sub.2, R.sub.3 and R.sub.4 are defined as above;
(b) treating the reduced material with an oxidant such as iodine when required; or
(c) hydrolyzing a compound of Formula I.sup.a ##STR18## wherein R.sub.1, R.sub.2 and R.sub.3 are defined as above and R.sub.9 is alkanoyl of 1 to 6 carbon atoms to the Formula I amino derivative wherein R.sub.4 is hydrogen; and
(d) converting the free base of a compound of Formula I to a pharmaceutically acceptable acid addition salt when desired.
The reduction of Formula II hydantoin intermediates is carried out by conventional chemical or catalytic methods. For instance, the Formula II hydantoins can be chemically reduced by treatment with hydrogen iodide and red phosphorus according to the method of Kozak, et al., supra. Catalytic hydrogenation is particularly preferred and accomplished with a transition metal catalyst, preferably palladium-on-carbon, in an appropriate reaction inert solvent such as dimethylformamide (DMF). Reduction is carried out at room temperature and when hydrogen uptake is essentially complete, the reaction mixture is warmed and filtered or optionally heated to about 100.degree. C. for a 1 to 4 hour period before filtering. In some instances, residual material (obtained by concentrating the filtrate) predominantly consists of the desired Formula I product produced by facile cyclization and aromatization to the fused quinoline ring system. In other instances, the residual material predominantly consists of the uncyclized Formula II.sup.a aniline derivative ##STR19## wherein R.sub.1, R.sub.2, R.sub.3 and R.sub.4 are as defined above or the 1,3,9,9a-tetrahydroquinoline intermediate of Formula II.sup.b resulting from cyclization of II.sup.a, ##STR20## wherein R.sub.1, R.sub.2, R.sub.3 and R.sub.4 are defined as above. In other instances, the residual material predominantly consists of a mixture of Formula II.sup.a, II.sup.b intermediates together with the desired Formula I product. Without being bound by theory, the transformation of a Formula II nitro-hydantoin to the Formula I product is thought to involve reduction of the nitro group and olefenic double bond to the corresponding Formula II.sup.a aniline. Ring cyclization follows or occurs simultaneously to the Formula I product or the 1,3,9,9a-tetrahydroquinoline intermediate of Formula II.sup.b which is aromatized by dehydrogenation. In those cases where reaction is incomplete, the residual material is treated with an oxidant such as iodine in an alkanol solvent such as methanol or an inert solvent such a dimethylformamide, acetonitrile and the like at reflux temperature. Under these conditions, cyclization of Formula II.sup.a anilines to the Formula II.sup.b tetrahydroquinoline intermediates with oxidation of the latter to the desired 2,3-dihydro-2oxo-1H-imidazo[4,5-b]quinolinylamine derivatives of Formula I is effected. The Formula II.sup.a and II.sup.b compounds along with the Formula II nitrohydantoins are considered part of the instant invention. When iodine is employed, the Formula I product is isolated in base form by treating the reaction mixture with aqueous sodium thiosulfate and alkali metal carbonate such as sodium carbonate.
In the case of Formula II compounds containing an ester grouping (e.g., R.sub.5 of CO.sub.2 R.sub.5 is lower alkyl) ester interchange can take place whenever an alkanol solvent is employed in the oxidation step. For instance, when methanol is used and "R.sub.5 " is not methyl, the Formula I product can consist of a mixture of the "R.sub.5 " and methyl esters with the latter generally predominating. The esters of Formula II (i.e., R.sub.5 of --CO.sub.2 R.sub.5 is lower alkyl) are conventionally converted to corresponding acids by base hydrolysis. In the case of Formula II compounds containing an acid grouping (i.e., R.sub.5 of --CO.sub.2 R.sub.5 is hydrogen) esterification can take place under the relative acid conditions of the oxidation step.
With reference to the above process "(d) converting the free base of a compound of Formula I to a pharmceutically acceptable acid addition salt thereof", conventional methods are used. For instance, pharmaceutically acceptable salts of Formula I are obtained by treating a Formula I base with the selected acid preferably in solution. They may also be made by metathesis or treatment with an ion exchange resin under conditions in which the anion of one salt of the substance of the Formula I is replaced by another anion under conditions which allow for separation of the desired species such as by precipitation from solution or extraction into a solvent, or elution from or retention on an ion exchange resin. The pharmaceutically acceptable acid addition salts of the instant invention are those in which the anion does not contribute significantly to the toxicity or pharmacological activity of the salt and, as such, they are the pharmacological equivalents of the bases of Formula I. They are generally preferred for medical usage. In some instances, they have physical properties which make them more desirable for pharmaceutical formulation purposes such as solubility, lack of hygroscopicity, compressibility with respect to tablet formation and compatibility with other ingredients with which the substance may be used for pharmaceutical purposes. Pharmaceutically acceptable acids for the purposes of salt formation of the substances of Formula I include hydrochloric, hydrobromic, hydroiodic, citric, acetic, propionic, benzoic, mandelic, sulfuric, phosphoric, nitric, mucic, isethionic, methanesulfonic, ethanesulfonic, p-toluene sulfonic, palmitic, heptanoic, and others.
The Formula II hydantoins employed in the process for preparing compounds of Formula I can be prepared according to procedures described by Billek, Montash, 1961, 92, 352-360 (Chem. Abs., 1962, 56, 394b) illustrated in the following reaction scheme.
Method A ##STR21##
Method A involves condensation of a substituted benzaldehyde of Formula II with hydantoin (IV) in the presence of fused sodium acetate in acetic anhydride at elevated temperatures (e.g., 100.degree.-160.degree. C.). Hydrolysis of the N-acetyl intermediate (V) obtained in Step 1 is conventionally carried out with an alkali metal hydroxide such as sodium hydroxide to provide the benzylidine hydantoin of Formula II.
An alternate and preferred method for preparing Formula II hydantoins involves reaction of the 2-nitrobenzaldehyde of Formula III with a hydantoin-5-phosphonate of Formula VI (wherein R.sub.1 is hydrogen or lower alkyl) illustrated in the following reaction scheme.
METHOD B ##STR22##
The reaction is conveniently carried out at room temperature by adding the phosphonate (VI) to a molar equivalent of sodium dissolved in an alkanol solvent such as ethanol followed by addition of the benzaldehyde (III). Alternatively, phosphonate (VI) can be added to an organic base such as triethylamine in a solvent such as acetonitrile at room temperature. A relatively short period of time is required to complete the reaction (e.g. 0.5 to 2 hours) and the hydantoin (II) is isolated by concentrating the reaction mixture and washing the residue with water. The benzylidine hydantoin derivatives (II) thus obtained frequently consist of a mixture of geometrical isomers wherein the predominant isomer has the vinyl proton (where present) resonating at lower field in the NMR spectrum. In the instant process for preparing Formula I compounds from hydantoins (II), it is immaterial as to which isomer is used since the double bond is reduced.
The Formula (VI) phosphonates are prepared by brominating the appropriate R.sub.1 -imidazolidine-2,4-dione and coupling the product with triethylphosphite as set forth in the following typical preparation of diethyl 1-methyl-2,4-dioxoimidazolidine-5-phosphonate and analogs.
A mixture of 1-methylimidazolidine-2,4-dione (202.5 g, 1.8M) and glacial acetic acid (1L) was heated to 90.degree. C. in an oil bath. An addition funnel was charged with bromine (311.5 g, 100 mL, 1.95M) and a small amount of bromine introduced into the reaction mixture. After dissipation of the orange color, the remainder of the bromine was added dropwise at such a rate that instant decolorization occurred. After completing the addition, the mixture was stirred at 90.degree. C. for 60 minutes, cooled to room temperature and stirred overnight. The acetic acid was decanted from a white precipitate, concentrated in vacuo and the residue combined with the precipitate and suspended in diethyl ether (approximately 2L). Triethyl phosphite (295 g, 320 mL, 1.8M) was added portionwise with stirring. An exothermic reaction ensued which was controlled with tap water cooling of the reaction vessel. A solution resulted which, on continued stirring, yielded a white precipitate. After standing for 60 minutes the mixture was poured into diethyl ether (4L) and allowed to stand overnight. Filtration afforded diethyl-1-methyl-2,4-dioxoimidazolidine-5-phosphonate (331.7 g, 75%), m.p. 95.degree.-96.degree. C. An analytical sample crystallized from MeOH/Et.sub.2 O had m.p. 95.degree.-95.degree. C.
Anal. Calcd. for C.sub.8 H.sub.15 N.sub.2 O.sub.5 P: C, 38.41; H, 6.04; N, 11.20. Found: 38.22; H, 6.07; N, 11.04.
The following 5-phosphonate hydantoin intermediates can be prepared analogously by substituting the appropriate imidazolidine-2,4-dione for 1-methylimidazolidine-2,4-dione in the above procedure:
diethyl 2,4-dioxoimidazolidine-5-phosphonate, m.p. 161.degree.-163.degree. C. crystallized from ethanol,
diethyl 1-ethyl-2,4-dioxoimidazolidine-5-phosphonate,
diethyl 1-propyl-2,4-dioxoimidazolidine-5-phosphonate,
diethyl 1-isopropyl-2,4-dioxoimidazolidine-5-phosphonate,
diethyl 1-butyl-2,4-dioxoimidazolidine-5-phosphonate,
diethyl 1-iso-butyl-2,4-dioxoimidazolidine-5-phosphonate,
diethyl 1-tert-butyl-2,4-dioxoimidazolidine-5-phosphonate.
Requisite aldehyde intermediates III (compound (6)) are obtained by conventional methods as illustrated in the following reaction schemes:
Scheme 1 ##STR23##
In Scheme 1, the benzyl alcohol (2), obtained by reducing benzoic acid (1) with borane/tetrahydrofuran (THF) complex, is oxidized to aldehyde (3) with pyridinium chlorochromate in dichloromethane. Acetal (dioxolane) derivative (4), formed with ethylene glycol in an inert solvent such as benzene under acid (e.g., p-toluenesulfonic acid) conditions to protect the aldehyde group, is heated with the appropriate R.sub.3 R.sub.4 NH amine to provide the dioxolane intermediate (5) which is hydrolyzed with acid to benzaldehyde (6). In the case wherein R.sub.2 is halogen, another step carried out by conventional crystallization or chromatography laboratory techniques may be required in order to separate different positional amine intermediates (5) which can result in step (d) during R.sub.3 R.sub.4 NH function. Examples of benzaldehydes prepared by this scheme are:
2-nitro-5-(1-piperidinyl)benzaldehyde, m.p. 102.degree.-103.degree. C.,
2-nitro-5-(1-pyrrolidinyl)benzaldehyde, m.p. 128.degree.-129.degree. C.,
2-nitro-5-diethylaminobenzaldehyde,
2-nitro-5-(4-ethoxycarbonyl-1-piperidinyl)benzaldehyde,
2-nitro-5-(4-morpholinyl)benzaldehyde, m.p. 166.degree.-168.degree. C.,
2-nitro-5-(4-phenyl-1-piperazinyl)benzaldehyde.
Scheme 2 ##STR24##
In Scheme 2, dioxolane (4) is heated with an excess of piperazine to afford (7) which is derivatized with an appropriate R.sub.8 CO.sub.2 Cl (e.g., ethyl chloroformate) or phenylalkanoyl chloride (e.g., phenylacetyl chloride) thus providing the R.sub.7 -substituted piperazinyl intermediate (8) wherein R.sub.7 is as defined herein. Alternatively, the R.sub.7 -piperazinyl intermediate (8) can be prepared by reacting dioxolane (4) directly with the appropriate R.sub.7 -piperazine. Hydrolysis of R.sub.7 -piperazinyl intermediate (8), carried out in tetrahydrofuran under acidic conditions, affords the aldehyde (9).
In the case of dioxolane (4) wherein R.sub.2 is halogen, another step may be required in order to separate different amino position isomers which can result in steps (a) or (c) during fusion with piperazine or R.sub.7 -piperazine. Such separations are conventionally carried out employing standard crystallization and chromatography techniques. Examples of benzaldehydes prepared by this scheme are:
2-nitro-5-(4-ethoxycarbonyl-1-piperazinyl)benzaldehyde, m.p. 136.degree.-137.degree. C.,
2-nitro-5-(4-benzoyl-1-piperazinyl)benzaldehyde,
2-nitro-5-[4-(3,4-dimethoxybenzoyl)-1-piperazinyl]benzaldehyde, m.p. 200.degree.-201.degree. C.
Scheme 3 ##STR25##
In Scheme 3, 3-nitrobenzaldehyde (10), protected by forming dioxolane (11) with ethylene glycol, is reduced catalytically to the aniline intermediate (12). Acylation of (12) with acetyl chloride in pyridine affords acetamide (13) with benzaldehyde (14) obtained by acid hydrolysis of the dioxolane protecting group. Nitration of (14) affords 2-nitrobenzaldehyde (15). Analogous 2-nitrobenzaldehydes can be obtained by substituting appropriate alkanoyl halides for acetyl chloride in step (c). Examples of benzaldehydes prepared by this scheme are:
2-nitro-5-acetamidobenzaldehyde,
2-nitro-5-propionamidobenzaldehyde,
2-nitro-5-(2-methylpropionamido)benzaldehyde.
Scheme 4 ##STR26##
In Scheme 4, the nitrile (16) and corresponding benzylamine (17) starting materials are obtained as described by F. Ishikawa, J. Med. Chem., 28, 1387-1393 (1985). Conversion of benzylamine (17) to the corresponding benzyl alcohol (18) is carried out by conventional methods, e.g. treatment of the amine with sodium nitrite in acetic acid and water followed by base treatment to hydrolyze the acetic acid ester (if present) of (18). Oxidation of the benzyl alcohol (18) with pyridinium chlorochromate in dichloromethane affords the benzaldehyde (6). Examples of benzaldehydes prepared by this method are:
2-nitro-5-dimethylamino-6-chlorobenzaldehyde,
2-nitro-5-diethylamino-6-chlorobenzaldehyde,
2-nitro-5-(1-pyrrolidinyl)-6-chlorobenzaldehyde,
2-nitro-5-(1-piperidinyl)-6-chlorobenzaldehyde,
2-nitro-5-dimethylamino-4-chlorobenzaldehyde,
2-nitro-5-(1-piperidinyl)-4-chlorobenzaldehyde,
2-nitro-5-(1-morpholinyl)-4-chlorobenzaldehyde,
2-nitro-5-(1-piperidinyl)-4-methylbenzaldehyde,
2-nitro-4-dimethylamino-6-chlorobenzaldehyde,
2-nitro-4-(1-piperidinyl)-6-chlorobenzaldehyde,
2-nitro-4-(1-piperidinyl)-5-methylbenzaldehyde,
2-nitro-4-(1-piperidinyl)-5-methoxybenzaldehyde,
2-nitro-5-(4-phenyl-1-piperazinyl)-6-chlorobenzaldehyde.
As stated above, the Formula I compounds or pharmaceutically acceptable salts thereof have pharmacological properties which make them particularly useful as phosphodiesterase inhibitors, blood platelet antiaggregators and/or cardiotonic agents. Regarding the latter, compounds of the invention selectively strengthen myocardial contraction force by which the heart ventricles pump blood into the periphery. Thus, the instant compounds are useful in the curative or prophylactic treatment of cardiac conditions such as myocardial failure where an increase in positive inotropic activity is desirable. Preferred compounds increase contractile force without unduly increasing heart rate.
Platelet aggregation is considered part of a complex physiological mechanism for formation of a thrombus in the vascular system. Thromboembolic phenomena, i.e., the formation of thrombi, are involved in hemostasis and a number of diseased states in mammals including thrombophlebitis, phlebothrombosis, cerebral thrombosis, coronary thrombosis and retinal vessel thrombosis. An increase in propensity for platelet aggregation, sometimes referred to as platelet adhesiveness, is observed following parturition, surgical operations such as coronary artery bypass surgery, organ transplant, angioplasty, prosthetic heart valve implants to name a few; and in ischaemic heart desease, atherosclerosis, multiple sclerosis, intracranial tumors, thromboembolism, and hyperlipemia; refer to A. Poplawski, et al., J. Atherosclerosis Research, 8, 721 (1968). Thus, the compounds of the invention which have antithrombogenic (inhibit blood platelet aggregation) and phosphodiesterase inhibition properties are useful in prevention or treatment of conditions involving platelet aggregation and thrombosis such as the above. Literature relating to prophylactic and therapeutic activities of phosphodiesterase inhibiting compounds include the following: S. M. Amer, "Cyclic Nucleotides as Targets For Drug Design," Advances in Drug Research, Vol. 12, 1977, Academic Press, London, pp 1-38; I. Weinryh, et al., J. Pharm. Sci., pp 1556-1567 (1972); S. M. Amer, et al., J. Pharm. Sci., Vol. 64, pp 1-37 (1975); and D. N. Harris, et al., Enzyme Inhibitors As Drugs, McMillan & Co., Ed--M. Standler, pp 127-146, (1980). The instant compounds are considered to have antimetastatic potential in view of their platelet inhibition properties.
The pharmacological properties of the instant compounds can be demonstrated by conventional in vitro and in vivo biological tests such as the following.
In Vitro Inhibition of Platelet Aggregation
The aggregometer method of Born (1), as modified by Mustard, et al. (2) was used to assess the in vitro activity of the various compounds as to inhibition of adenosine diphosphate (ADP) and collagen-induced platelet aggregation. Platelet rich plasma (PRP) was separated by centrifugation from citrated (3.8 percent) rabbit blood. ADP in final concentration of 0.5 mcg/ml or 0.05 ml of a collagen suspension prepared according to the method described by Evans, et al. (3) was used to induce aggregation. The various compounds tested were dissovled in dimethylsulfoxide (DMSO) so that 5 mcl added to the platelet rich plasma would yield the desired test concentration. Vehicle control trials were done and compared with aggregation induced in platelet rich plasma containing various concentrations of the test compounds. Dose response curves were obtained and Effective Concentration (EC50) values calculated. In this test, the EC.sub.50 values for dipyridamole, a clinically useful antithrombogenic agent, are >512 mcg/ml vs. ADP and 245 mcg/ml vs. collagen. Results are given in Table I hereinafter for various Formula I compounds.

Inhibition of Platelet Aggregation Following Oral Administration
This test is sometimes referred to in the art as an Ex vivo method and was initially described by Fleming, et al., Arch. Int. Pharmacodyn. Ther., 199, 164 (1972). Briefly, the assay is essentially carried out as follows.
Aggregometry is performed in vitro as previously described on platelet rich plasma samples obtained from rats dosed with either test compounds or the vehicle. In all cases, activity is determined 2 hours after the drug is administered orally at various doses by gavage as a suspension in 0.9% water plus a few drops of Tween 20. Drug activity is expressed as ED.sub.50 's (that dose required to inhibit the induced aggregation by 50%) calculated from results obtained from groups of 10 animals treated with various doses of test compounds in comparison to separate control groups.
In this test, the ED.sub.50 of dipyridamole is greater than 100 mg/kg and anagrelide is 4.9 mg/kg. Results are given in Table I hereinafter for various Formula I compounds.
Inhibition of Cyclic AMP Phosphodiesterase
This assay is carried out essentially as described by Thompson, et al., Methods in Enzymology, 38, 205-212 (1974). Briefly, tritium labeled cyclic adenosine monophosphate (cAMP) is incubated with a phosphodiesterase (PDE) enzynme obtained from human platelets which converts a portion of the cAMP to 5'AMP in culture tubes. This reaction is terminated by submerging the tubes in a boiling water bath after which they are placed on ice and an aliquot of snake venom is added to each tube. This, during a second incubation, converts the 5'AMP to adenosine. Ion exchange resin is added to bind the remaining cyclic AMP. The tubes are centrifuged to sediment the resin and a portion of the clear supernatent (which contains radioactive adenosine) is counted in a liquid scintillation counter. The cAMP phosphodiesterase inhibition activity of a test agent is determined by pre-incubating the PDE enzyme preparation with the test agent. Dose response values are obtained and activity of the test agent reported as the molar (M) concentration of the test agent inhibiting 50% of the PDE activity (IC.sub.50 s). In this test, the IC.sub.50 value of milrinone, a known inotropic agent, is 2.times.10.sup.-7 molar. Results are given in Table I hereinafter for various Formula I compounds.
In Vivo Inotropic Activity
This test is carried out in ferrets as follows.
Fasted anesthetized ferrets are instrumented to study hemodynamic parameters as well as right ventricular contractile force (RVCF) using a Walton-Brodie open strain guage arch. Drugs are administered intraduodenally as solutions in DMSO (1 mL or less) and effects on myocardial contractile force and other parameters are monitored for 60 minutes after dosing. Changes in contractile force in response to drug treatment are expressed in terms of percent change from predose control.
In this test, milrinone produces a 52% increase in RVCF at 3 mg/kg. Results are given in Table II hereinafter for several Formula I compounds.
As stated above, one aspect of this invention relates to a therapeutic method for inhibiting phosphodiesterase and blood platelet aggregation in a mammal which comprises administering a therapeutically effective amount of a compound of Formula I or a pharmaceutically acceptable salt thereof to a mammal ia need of such treatment. Another aspect of this invention as stated above relates to a therapeutic method for increasing heart inotropic activity which comprises administering to a warm-blooded animal, including man, in need of such treatment a therapeutically effective amount of a compound of Formula I.
The dosage employed in the instant therapeutic methods will vary with the form of administration, the particular compound chosen, the subject being tested and the effect desired. Suitable effective dose in animals range from 0.5-30 mg/kg body weight orally and from 0.05-10 mg/kg body weight parenterally (generally characterized as subcutaneous, intramuscular, and intravenous injection). In accordance with conventional clinical practice, the effective dose in man can be determined by administering a Formula I compound at a dosage substantially less then the dose of the compound which is thought to be effective and then increasing the dosage in small increments until the desired effect is achieved.
In carrying out the instant therapeutic methods, the active ingredient of Formula I and pharmaeutically acceptable acid addition salts thereof are preferably administered with a pharmaceutically acceptable carrier and such compositions constitute part of the instant invention. Suitable dosage forms for oral use are tablets, dispersible powders, granules, capsules, syrups and elixirs. Examples of parenteral forms are solutions, suspensions, dispersions, emulsions, and the like. The compositions for oral use may contain one or more conventional adjuvants, such as sweetening agents, flavoring agents, coloring agents and preserving agents, in order to provide a composition of suitable pharmaceutical elegance. Tablets may contain the active ingredient in admixture with conventional pharmceutical acceptable excipients including inert diluents such as calcium carbonate, sodium carbonate, lactose and talc; granulating and disintegrating agents such as starch and alginic acid; binding agents such as starch, gelatin and acacia and lubricating agents such as magnesium stearate, stearic acid and talc. The tablets may be uncoated or coated by known techniques to delay disintegration and absorption in the gastrointestinal tract and thereby provide a sustained action over a longer period. Similarly, suspension, syrups and elixirs may contain the active ingredient in admixture with any of the conventional excipients utilized for the preparation of such compositions such as suspending agents (e.g., methylcellulose, tragacanth, and sodium alginate), wetting agents (e.g., lecithin, polyoxyethylene stearate) and preservatives such as ethyl-p-hydroxybenzoate. Capsules may contain the active ingredient alone or admixed with an inert solid diluent such as calcium carbonate, calcium phosphate and kaolin. The injectible compositions are formulated as known in the art and may contain appropriate dispersing or wetting agents and suspending agents identical or similar to those mentioned above.
The following examples are given by way of illustration and are not to be construed as limiting the invention in any way inasmuch as many variations of the invention are possible within the spirit of the invention. All temperatures are degrees centrigrade and melting points taken with a Thomas Hoover capillary apparatus are uncorrected. Conventional abbreviations are employed in reporting Nuclear Magnetic Resonance (NMR) spectral data with tetramethylsilane as internal reference and chemical shift data values in parts per million.

A stirred mixture of 1-(2,3-dihydro-2-oxo-1H-imidazo[4,5-b]quinolin-7-yl)-4-piperidinecarboxyli c acid (3.12 g, 10 mmol) and N-cyclohexyl-N-methylamine (1.36 g, 12 mmol) were combined in dimethylformamide (200 mL) and cooled to -20.degree. C. Triethylamine (2.91 mL, 21 mmol) and diphenylphosphoryl azide (2.59 mL, 12 mmol) were added, the mixture stirred at -20.degree. C. for 3 hours, and allowed to warm to room temperature. After 18 hours, the mixture was diluted with CH.sub.2 Cl.sub.2 (200 mL), scratched to initiate crystallization, and stirred for an additional 72 hours. The resultant precipitate was collected, washed with CH.sub.2 Cl.sub.2, and dried to give 2.09 g of a pale yellow solid (51%). Crystallization from dimethylformamide (80 mL) gave 1.02 g of pale yellow crystals, m.p. 318.degree.-321.degree. C.
