Description
1,4:3,6-dianhydrohexites, as a class of compounds, have been known for 100 years. A. Fauconnier described the first member as "isomannide" (Bull. Soc. Chim. France 41, 119 (1884). This compound and the later known isosorbide, are reported to have diuretic activity; see, for example, Proc. Soc. Exp. Biol. Med 119, 39 (1965) and U.S. Pat. No. 2,143,324. In the meantime a series of derivatives has become recognized as pharmacologically active. Of these, isosorbide-2,5-dinitrate has been on the market for many years and isosorbide-5-mononitrate recently, both as coronary therapeutic agents.
DE-OS No. 2,221,080 discloses the mononitrate ester of isosorbide for the treatment of angina pectoris. British Patent No. 1,027,891 describes nicotinic acid esters of 1,4:3,6-dianhydrohexites having vasodilating properties. Muscle-relaxing isohexide ethers are, inter alia disclosed in U.S. Pat. No. 4,169,152. O-substituted 1,4:3,6-dianhydrohexite mononitrates which affect the heart and circulatory system are the subject of DE-OS No. 3,028,289.
In addition to these isohexide derivatives, various desoxy-1,4:3,6-dianhydrohexites with pharmacological activity are known in which the oxygen in the 2- or 5-position may be replaced by an optionally substituted amino group; J. Indian Chem. 16 B, 153(1978); DE-OS No. 3,028,272, DE-OS No. 3,028,273; DE-OS No. 3,028,288 and DE-OS No. 3,028,340. Finally, other compounds have been prepared which have no free or substituted hydroxy groups; see especially DE-OS No. 3,109,532 which discloses 1,4:3,6-dianhydro-2,5-dideoxyhexites having hypnotic properties. (See also Carbohydrate Res. 85, 259 (1980).
The 1,4:3,6-dianhydrohexite derivatives according to the invention are structurally distinguished from all of the aforementioned compounds in that they contain an N-substituted 3-amino-2-hydroxypropyl group which is attached through an ether bond to the basic structure of the dianhydro sugar alcohol.
It is known that the pharmacophoric functional groups of a large number of so-called beta-receptor blockers exhibit an N-alkylated propanolamine function. The corresponding class is known as "aryloxypropanolamines". By the term "aryl" is generally meant, that the presence of an aromatic or heteroaromatic nucleus is absolutely necessary, especially for the existence of beta-antagonistic activity. (See, e.g. E. Schroder, C. Rufer, R. Schmiechen, "Pharmazeutische Chemie", Thieme Verlag 1982, p. 682 et seq). All pharmaceuticals of this structure introduced into therapy or subjected to clinical testing satisfy this requirement.
Isolated attempts have been made to break with this principle. However, these attempts have as yet had no success. Thus, aliphatic aminohydroxypropanediol ethers are described in J. Med. Chem. 23, 620 (1980), Arch. Pharm. 312, 857 (1979), ibid. 312, 881 (1979) and ibid. 317, 63 (1984). Other examples of this structure are the subject of DE-OS No. 2,558,285, EP No. 37 777 and EP 87 378.
However, none of the afore-described 3-aminopropanediol compounds contains a 1,4:3,6-dianhydrohexite residue.
According to the invention novel compounds are provided which open the possibility, not only of broadening the scope of therapeutic application of isohexide derivates, but also of enriching the class of beta-receptor blockers with hitherto unknown structural variants having superior properties. Surprisingly, the compounds of the invention exhibit a pharmacological activity profile which neither the previously known 1,4:3,6-dianhydrohexites nor the aryloxypropanolamines exhibit. These advantageous pharmacological properties, therefore, present an unforseeable broadening of therapeutic possibilities.
Propanolamines of the stated structure were known to exist as racemates from which, as a rule, only an antipode of the desired pharmacological activity evolved. By the usual methods of synthesis, one only obtains racemic compounds. It is for this reason that all known beta-blockers except Timolol are therapeutically used as racemates. One thus prefers 50% impurity (the "false" enantiomer) to a troublesome racemate splitting. For the preparation of the desired enantiomers from the racemate, expensive known processes are necessary. One of these processes comprises, for example, the conversion into a salt or other derivative with an optically active partner, separation of the resulting diastereomeric salt or other derivative by fractional crystallization, distillation or other suitable way, and subsequent splitting of the salt or derivative to obtain the optically pure isomer. On the other hand, the compounds of this invention form, through the intramolecular combination of a 1,4:3,6-dianhydrohexite residue with a propanolamine group, diastereoisomers ab initio which, if desired, are directly separable without additional chemical reaction. The present invention is therefore directed to novel 1,4:3,6-dianhydrohexite derivatives having the general formula I: ##STR2## wherein: R.sup.1 is hydrogen or a benzyl group,
R.sup.2 is a straight- or branched-chain alkyl group with 1-4 carbon atoms or an omega-theophyllin-7-yl-alkyl group wherein the alkyl group may contain 2-3 carbon atoms, or wherein:
R.sup.1 and R.sup.2 together with the nitrogen atom to which they are attached form the theophyllin-7-yl-group, the theobromine-1-yl group, the adene-9-yl group, optionally mono- or disubstituted at the 6-amino-group, by lower aliphatic or aromatic acyl groups, e.g. acetyl, propionyl, butyryl, isobutyryl, benzoyl or toluyl, the guan-9-yl group, optionally substituted at the 2-amino-group, the 6-chloropurine-9-yl group or the 6-allylmercaptopurine-9-yl group or the 2-amino-6-chloro-purine-9-yl group, optionally substituted at the amino-group,
and wherein:
R.sup.3 is hydrogen, a straight- or branched-chain saturated or unsaturated acyl radical with 1-20 carbon atoms, a pyridyl-carbonyl radical, nitro or a group having the formula ##STR3## wherein R.sup.1 and R.sup.2 are as defined above; as well as the salts of such compounds with organic and inorganic acids, preferably physiologically acceptable salts.
1,4:3,6 -dianhydrohexites are bicyclic compounds in the form of two cis-bound tetrahydrofuran rings of which each carries a hydroxyl group. They are prepared by dehydrating the hexites, i.e. hexahydroxy, straight-chain, saturated, aliphatic alcohols having 6 carbon atoms. In addition to the designation "1,4:3,6-dianhydrohexites", the names "1,4:3,6-dianhydrohexitoles", "isohexides" and "isohexitols" are also in use. According to systematic nomenclature, the compounds, as bridged-ring systems, would be called "2,6-dioxabicyclo [3.3.0] octane-4,6-diols" and fused systems "hexahydrofuro[3.2-b]furan-3,6-diols".
The basic compounds of the derivatives discussed here are the following stereoisomers obtained by epimerization of 1,4:3,6-dianhydrohexites, viz.: 1,4:3,6-dianhydro-L-idite (isoidide) having the following structure, ##STR4## wherein the OH groups in the 2- and 5-positions exhibit exo-configuration or 1,4:3,6-dianhydro-D-glucite (1,4:3,6 dianhydro-D-sorbite, isosorbide) having the following structure, ##STR5## which shows a 2-exo as well as a 5-endo OH group and whose O-derivative, in the case of non-identical subsituents, exists in two isomeric forms or 1,4:3,6-dianhydro-D-mannite (isomannide) having the following structure: ##STR6## which has two endo OH groups.
In contrast to the glucite derivatives, in the idite and mannite derivatives there is no difference between substitution in the 2- and in the 5-position. A short summary of the stereochemistry of the 1,4:3,6-dianhydrohexites is given by J. A. Mills in Advances in Carbohydrate Chemistry 10, 1-53 (1955) and L. Hough and A. C. Richardson in "Rodd's Chemistry of Carbon Compounds", 2d. ed., Vol. 1, F, Elsevier, 1967, pp. 51-55.
1,4:3,6 -dianhydrohexites have four chiral centers at carbon atoms 2,3,4 and 5. The starting materials for the preparation of the compounds of this invention are in the optically pure form, as the L-isoidide, the D-isosorbide and the D-isomannide. They are obtainable from the corresponding, naturally occurring, optically active sugar alcohols. The N-substituted 3-amino-2-propanol side-chain ##STR7## in the compounds of this invention have in the C-2 likewise an asymmetric carbon atom. For this reason, the compounds of this invention in general Formula I are in diastereoisomeric form. The diastereoisomeric mixtures and the separated, optically pure components are also part of the present invention.
Compounds of the invention are therefore 1,4:3,6-dianhydro-L-idite derivatives having the general Formula II ##STR8## and salts thereof, wherein R.sup.1, R.sup.2 and R.sup.3 are as defined above, 1,4:3,6-dianhydro-D-glycite derivatives having the general Formulae III and IV ##STR9## and salts thereof, wherein R.sup.1, R.sup.2 and R.sup.3 are as defined above, 1,4:3,6-dianhydro-D-mannite derivatives having the general Formula V ##STR10## wherein R.sup.1, R.sup.2 and R.sup.3 are as defined above.
The compounds of the present invention may be prepared by processes known per se. One of the processes for preparation of compounds of Formula I is characterized in that a (2,3-epoxypropyl)-1,4:3,6-dianhydrohexite having the general Formula VI ##STR11## wherein R.sup.4 is hydrogen, a straight- or branched-chain saturated or unsaturated acyl radical having 1-20 carbon atoms, a pyridylcarbonyl radical, an NO.sub.2 group or a 2,3-epoxypropyl radical having the formula ##STR12## is reacted, in known manner, with a compound having the general Formula VII
wherein R.sup.1 and R.sup.2 are as defined above. The reaction product having general Formula I may be converted into a salt of an inorganic or an organic acid, preferably a pharmaceutically acceptable acid.
If by this conversion a diastereoisomeric mixture is used initially, the final product is also a diastereoisomeric mixture. If an optically pure isomer is used as reaction partner, a pure diastereoisomer is obtained. Diastereoisomeric mixtures may be separated into pure components by known separation techniques.
The reaction of epoxides of the general Formula VI with compounds of the general Formula VII may proceed without a solvent or with a suitable solvent which is inert under the reaction conditions. Such solvents are water; lower alcohols such as methanol, ethanol, 1-propanol, 2-propanol and butanol; ethers such as diethyl ether, diisopropyl ether, dibutyl ether, ethyleneglycol mono- and dimethyl ethers and diethyl ethers, tetrahydrofuran and dioxane; dimethyl formamide (DMF) and dimethyl sulfoxide (DMSO). The reaction temperature may be between 0.degree. and 200.degree. C., usually at about room temperature up to the boiling point of compound VII or the solvent used. The mol ratios of the reaction partners VI and VII may be chosen as desired and are in the range of 1:1 to 1:100. Reaction times are in the range of 0.5 to 24 hours.
At the end of the conversion, the reaction products of general Formula I are recovered in the usual manner, purified and, optionally, converted to the salt of an inorganic or an organic acid, preferably to a pharmaceutically acceptable salt. Examples of such salts are chlorides, bromides, nitrates, sulfates, phosphates, acetates, oxalates, maleates, fumarates, tartrates, lactates, maleinates, malonates, citrates, salicylates, methanesulfonates, benzenesulfonates, p-toluenesulfonates and naphthalenesulfonates.
These or other salts of the new compounds, e.g. picrates, may also purify the free bases by converting the free base to a salt, separating the salt and, optionally, recrystallizing or otherwise purifying the salt and liberating the free base.
Compounds of general Formula VI, wherein R.sup.4 is as previously defined, are obtainable in known manner from 1,4:3,6-dianhydrohexites having the general Formula VIII ##STR13## wherein R.sup.5 is hydrogen, a straight-chain or branched-chain, saturated or unsaturated acyl radical having 1-20 carbon atoms, a pyridylcarbonyl radical or an NO.sub.2 group,
(a) by reaction with an epihalohydrin having the Formula ##STR14## wherein Hal is a halogen radical, expecially chlorine, bromine or iodine, in the presence of a base or
(b) by reaction with an alkyl halide having Formula X
wherein Hal is a halogen radical, especially chlorine, bromine or iodine, in the presence of a base, whereby, first, compounds of general Formula XI are formed: ##STR15## wherein R.sup.6 is hydrogen, a straight-chain or branched-chain, saturated or unsaturated acyl radical having 1-20 carbon atoms, a pyridylcarbonyl radical, an NO.sub.2 group or an allyl radical having the Formula
and subsequent oxidation of compounds XI to compounds according to general Formula VI.
For the epoxidation of compounds XI, all compounds available to the person skilled in the art can be used, e.g. peracetic acid, perbenzoic acid, m-chloroperbenzoic acid, monoperphthalic acid and others. For methods and reaction conditions, see, for example, Houben-Weyl VI/3, page 385 et seq.
Use of racemic epihalohydrin of general Formula IX as reaction partner according to (a) yields a diastereoisometric mixture. The mixture can be resolved into its components, if necessary, by known separation techniques. When a pure enantiomer of epihalohydrin is used in the above reaction, one of the possible diastereoisomers is obtained depending on the absolute configuration of the enantiomer used.
The required oxidation of allyl compounds XI according to (b) creates a new chirality center. Thus, the 2,3-epoxypropyl derivatives obtained in this way appear as diastereoisomeric mixtures which may be resolved into the pure isomers.
The reaction of VIII with IX or X can be carried out without solvents or with suitable solvents which are inert under the reaction conditions. As such the following may be used: acetone, methyl-ethyl ketone, benzene, toluene, xylene, ethylene glycol dimethyl and diethyl ether, dioxane, tetrahydrofuran, DMF and DMSO.
As bases for these reactions, one may use sodium hydride, potassium hydride, sodium hydroxide, potassium hydroxide, sodium carbonate, potassium carbonate, or potassium tert-butylate. Reaction temperatures may be between 0.degree. C. and 180.degree. C., usually from about room temperature to the boiling point of the epichlorhydrin, the allyl halide or the solvent. The mol ratio of VIII to IX or X may be chosen as desired from 1:1 to 1:100. The reaction times are in the range of 0.5 to 24 hours.
If compounds of the general Formula VIII in which R.sup.5 is hydrogen are used as starting materials in reactions according to (a) and (b), mono- and disubstituted products may be formed. In the case of 1,4:3,6-dianhydro-D-glucites (isosorbide) two isomeric monosubstitution products are to be expected. By proper choice of mol ratios and reaction conditions the reaction may be steered in the desired direction. Also, mixtures of mono- and disubstituted products, as well as isomeric 2- and 5-substituted isosorbides, may be separated by known methods, e.g. crystallrzation, distillation, extraction or chromatography.
Compounds of general Formula VI wherein R.sup.4 is as defined above, except hydrogen and the 2,3-epoxypropyl radical, are obtainable from compounds of general Formula VI, and, where R.sup.4 is hydrogen, by reaction with straight chain or branched, saturated or unsaturated acylhalides having 1-20 carbon atoms or the corresponding pyridylcarbonyl halides and with nitric acid. These conversions proceed in ways known per se.
In like manner, compounds of general Formula XI, wherein R.sup.6 is as defined above except hydrogen and an alkyl radical, may be prepared by reacting compounds of general Formula XI wherein R.sup.6 is hydrogen with straight or branched, saturated or unsaturated acyl halides having 1-20 carbon atoms or the corresponding carboxylic anhydrides, with pyridylcarbonyl chlorides and with nitric acid. These reactions proceed in known manner and according to usual methods.

Examples are formate, acetate, propionate, acrylate, butyrate, isobutyrate, pivaloate (trimethyl acetate), caprylate (octanoate), decanoate, undecenoylate, stearate and arachinate.
The preparation of 2,5-diallyl-isosorbide and 2,5-diallylisommannide is described in J. Chem. Soc., 1947, 1405, and in J. Chem. Soc., 1950, 591. In the latter reference 2-allyl-isomannide, 2-allyl-isomannide-5-acetate and the unresolved mixtures of 2- and 5-allyl-isosorbide and allyl-isosorbide acetates are also mentioned. Allyl compounds of the isoidides as well as all other allyl compounds of the 1,4:3,6 -dianhydrohexite derivatives XI used according to this invention are also novel.

Examples are formate, acetate, propionate, acrylate, butyrate, isobutyrate, pivaloate, caprylate, decanoate,undecanoate, stearate and arachinate.
The compounds according to the invention, surprisingly, are distinguished by a broad spectrum of pharmacological activity and, therefore, represent valuable pharmaceuticals. They possess beta-sympatholytic, blood-pressure-depressing, negative inotropes and heart-frequency-depressing activity. They exhibit spasmolytic, broncholytic and antitussive properties and also effect an improvement of the peripheral and central blood circulation. They may therefore on the one hand be used for prophylaxis and treatment of various diseases of the heart and circulation and on the other hand as spasmolytics, broncholytics, antitussives and stimulants. They therefore have properties not hitherto known for 1,4:3,6-dianhydrohexite derivatives.

EXAMPLE 1
2-(2-hydroxy-3-isopropylaminopropyl)isosorbide
(a) 2-allyl-isosorbide, 5-allyl-isosorbide, 2,5-diallyl-isosorbide; 450 g isosorbide, 600 g potassium carbonate and 400 ml allyl bromide are heated in 1 l toluene for 24 hours under reflux. After cooling, the product is filtered from the inorganic salts, washed with 0.5 l toluene and concentrated. The residue is taken up in 1 l water and extracted 3 times, each time with 200 ml ether. The combined ether phases are counterextracted with 200 ml water, dried, concentrated.and vacuum-distilled in a column. Obtained is 90 g 2,5-diallyl isosorbide, b.p. (0.1): 84.degree. C.
The combined water phases are saturated with sodium chloride and twice shaken with 1 l dichloromethane each time. After drying and concentration of the combined organic phases, the residue is vacuum-fractionated in a column. One obtains
180 g 2-allyl-isosorbide, b.p. (0.1): 72.degree. C. m.p. 35.degree. C. from diethylether, 20 g mixed fraction, b.p. (0.1): 72.degree.-112.degree. 112 g 5-allyl-isosorbide, b.p. (0.1): 112.degree. C.;
(b) 2-(2,3-epoxypropyl)-isosorbide: 18.6 g 2-allyl-isosorbide and 25 g 3-chloroperbenzoic acid is stirred in 100 ml chloroform for 24 hours at room temperature.
Thereafter the precipitated 3-chloroperbenzoic acid is suction-filtered and the filtrate concentrated. The residue is taken up in water and extracted with ether. The residue is taken up in water and extracted with ether. The residue remaining after concentration of the water phase can either be distilled or recrystallized from ethyl acetate/ether b.p.
