Methods of Preparation
The compounds of formula (1) and (2) are prepared from the intermediates of formula (VII) and (VIII), the preparation of which is illustrated below in Reaction Scheme I.
It should be understood that the structures illustrated in Reaction Scheme I and in all subsequent Reaction Schemes are intended to represent racemic mixtures although, for the sake of clarity, only one enantiomer is shown. ##STR6##
The intermediate of formula (II), 2-methylnicotinic acid diethylamide, is prepared according to the method disclosed in Ber., 72B, 563 (1939). The intermediates of formula (III), optionally substituted dihydroisoquinolines, are prepared according to the method of Bischler-Napieralski, disclosed in Organic Reactions, Vol. VI, p 74 (1951), by the cyclization of formamidines of commercially available optionally substituted phenylethylamines. To prepare the compounds of formula (IV), the compounds of formula (II) and (III) are reacted together in the presence of a strong base, for example potassium t-butoxide, sodamide, sodium triphenylmethane, lithium diethylamide or preferably lithium diisopropylamide. The reaction is preferably carried out in an ethereal solvent, for example diethyl ether, dimethoxyethane, dioxane or tetrahydrofuran, at a temperature of about 0.degree. C. to -50.degree. C., preferably at about -10.degree. C. to -40.degree. C., for about 30 minutes to 4 hours. For example, diisopropylamine is dissolved in an ethereal solvent, preferably tetrahydrofuran, and cooled to a temperature of about -20.degree. to -80.degree. C., preferably about -65.degree. C. To the cooled solution about 1 molar equivalent of an alkyl lithium, preferably 1.6M n-butyllithium, is added. To this cold solution is added a mixture of about 1 molar equivalent of the compound of formula (II) and about 1 molar equivalent of the compound of formula (III) in an ethereal solvent, preferably tetrahydrofuran. The reaction mixture is allowed to warm to about -10.degree. to -40.degree. C., preferably about -20.degree. C., over a period of about 1 hour, and the reaction then quenched with an acid, preferably hydrochloric acid. The product of formula (IV), a (.+-.)-5,6,13,13a-tetrahydroisoquino[2,1-g][1,6]naphthyridine-8-one hydrochloride, is isolated and purified by conventional means, preferably recrystallization of an acid salt.
The compound of formula (IV) as an acid salt, preferably the hydrochloride, is then hydrogenated with a suitable heterogeneous catalyst, for example palladium on carbon, platinum oxide or preferably rhodium on alumina, to give a mixture of the diastereoisomers of formula (V) and (VI). For example, for every gram of the hydrochloride of the compound of formula (III) in a solution of acetic acid is added from 0.1 to 0.6 g, preferably about 0.25 g, of 5% rhodium on alumina catalyst and the mixture hydrogenated at a pressure of about 25-80 psi, preferably about 50 psi. The reaction is conducted at a temperature of about 0.degree. to 50.degree. C., preferably about 25.degree. C., for about 24-72 hours, preferably about 42 hours. When the reaction is substantially complete, the mixture of compounds of formula (IV) and (V) is isolated by conventional means and the mixture chromatographed on silica gel, eluting with a suitable solvent mixture, for example 5-20% methanol in methylene chloride. The first component eluted is the compound of formula (V), followed by the compound of formula (VI).
The compounds of formula (V) and (VI) are then individually reduced to the compounds of formula (VII) and (VIII) with a suitable reducing agent, for example borane, triethyloxonium fluoroborate followed by sodium borohydride, sodium borohydride in the presence of a carboxylic acid, or preferably lithium aluminum hydride. For example, a solution of a compound of formula (V) in an ethereal solvent, preferably tetrahydrofuran, is slowly added to a solution of about 1 to 4 molar equivalents, preferably about 1.5 to 2 molar equivalents, of lithium aluminum hydride in the same ethereal solvent at about 25.degree. C. The mixture is then refluxed for about 1-10 hours, preferably about 3 hours. When the reaction is substantially complete, the compound of formula (VII) is separated and purified by conventional means, for example recrystallization of an acid salt. In a similar fashion, the compound of formula (VI) is reduced to the compound of formula (VIII), and likewise separated and purified.
In a similar fashion the compounds of formula (VII) and (VIII) are obtained as a mixture if the above reduction is carried out on a mixture of the compounds of formula (V) and (VI). Such a mixture is obtained if the step of chromatographic separation is omitted from the procedure above for the preparation of the compounds of formula (V) and (VI).
Compounds of Formula (1) and (2)
Compounds of formula (1) and (2) are prepared from the compounds of formula (VII) and (VIII) is depicted in Reaction Sequence II below. ##STR7##
The compounds of formula (1) and (2) are prepared by reacting the corresponding individual compound of formula (VII) or (VIII) with a substituted sulfonyl halide of the formula ZSO.sub.2 R, where Z is chlorine or bromine and R is as defined above. The sulfonyl halides of formula ZSO.sub.2 R are either commercially available from, inter alia, Aldrich Chemical Co., or may be prepared according to the method of Zeigler and Sprague, disclosed in J. Org. Chem., Vol 16, p 621 (1951).
For example, to prepare the compound of formula (1) the compound of formula (VII) is dissolved in an inert organic solvent, such as benzene, toluene, ethyl acetate, tetrahydrofuran, diethyl ether, chloroform or preferably dichloromethane, containing from 1-10 molar equivalents, preferably about 2 molar equivalents, of an inorganic base such as sodium carbonate, potassium bicarbonate or the like, or preferably a tertiary organic base, such as pyridine, N-methylpiperidine and the like, preferably triethylamine. The mixture is cooled to about -10.degree. to 10.degree. C., preferably about 0.degree. C., and about 1-4 molar equivalents, preferably about 1.25 molar equivalents, of the appropriately substituted sulfonyl halide of formula ZSO.sub.2 R added and the mixture stirred for about 30 minutes to 4 hours, preferably about 1 hour at a temperature of about 10.degree. to 40.degree. C., preferably about 25.degree. C. An inert solvent, preferably diethyl ether, is then added, and the compound of formula (1) separated and purified by conventional means, for example recrystallization of an acid salt. In a similar fashion, the compound of formula (2) is prepared from the compound of formula (VIII), the likewise separated and purified.
An alternative procedure for the preparation of compounds of formula (1) and (2) is from the mixture of compounds (VII) and (VIII) obtained as shown above in Reaction Scheme I . The mixture of compounds (VII) and (VIII) is treated with a substituted sulfonyl halide of formula ZSO.sub.2 R in the same manner as shown above, giving a mixture of the compounds of formula (1) and (2) which is separated by conventional means, preferably chromatography, into the individual diastereoisomers of formula (1) and (2).
An alternative preparation of the compound of formula (1) is shown in Reaction Scheme III below. ##STR8##
In this procedure, the compound of formula (2), prepared as shown in Reaction Scheme II, is converted to the compound of formula (1). Typically, the compound of formula (2) and about 1-10 molar equivalents, preferably about 4 molar equivalents, of a mercuric salt, preferably mercuric acetate, are combined in acetic acid containing from about 5%-50%, preferably about 10%, of water and the mixture heated at a temperature of about 70.degree. C. to the reflux temperature, preferably about 105.degree. C., for about 30 minutes to 4 hours, preferably about 1 hour. After filtering, hydrogen sulfide is passed through, followed by refiltering and removal of the solvent from the filtrate. The residue is then dissolved in a protic solvent, preferably ethanol, the solution cooled to a temperature of about 0.degree. to -40.degree. C., preferably about -20.degree. C., and treated with about 1 to 10 molar equivalents, preferably about 4 molar equivalents, of sodium borohydride. When the reaction is substantially complete the compound of formula (1) is isolated by conventional means, for example chromatography.
A mixture of compounds of formula (1) and (2) may replace the compound of formula (2) as a starting material in the procedure described above, giving rise to the same product of formula (1). Such a mixture of compounds of formula (1) and (2) is obtained as shown in Reaction Scheme II.
The compounds of formula (1) and (2) in which R is --(CH.sub.2).sub.m OH are preferably prepared from the compounds of formula (1) and (2) in which R is --(CH.sub.2).sub.m OR.sup.1. Typically, the compound of formula (1) or (2) in which R is --(CH.sub.2).sub.m OR.sup.1 is dissolved in an inert solvent as defined above, preferably methylene chloride, and reacted with about 1 to 4 molar equivalents, preferably about 1.7 molar equivalents, of boron tribromide at a temperature of about -40.degree. C. to -80.degree. C., preferably about -60.degree. C. The mixture is then allowed to warm to about 0.degree. C. to 40.degree. C., preferably about 25.degree. C. When the reaction is substantially complete the compound of formula (1) or (2) in which R is -(CH.sub.2).sub.m OH is isolated by conventional means, for example chromatography.
The compounds of formula (1) and (2) in which R is aminophenyl are preferably prepared from the corresponding compounds in which R is nitrophenyl; these are prepared by reacting the appropriate compounds of formula (VII) and (VIII) with a nitrobenzenesulfonyl chloride or bromide to give the corresponding compounds of the general formula (1) or (2) in which R is nitrophenyl, using the general method shown in Reaction Scheme I above. The latter compound is then dissolved in a protic solvent, preferably ethanol, and hydrogenated at about 50 psi in the presence of a palladium on carbon catalyst. When the reaction is substantially complete the compound of formula (1) or (2) in which R is aminophenyl is isolated by conventional means, for example crystallization of an acid salt.
Isolation and purification of the compounds and intermediates described herein can be effected, if desired, by an suitable separation or purification procedure such as, for example, filtration, extraction, crystallization, column chromatography, thin-layer chromatography, thick-layer chromatography, preparative low or high-pressure liquid chromatography or a combination of these procedures. Specific illustrations of suitable separation and isolation procedures can be had by reference to the Examples hereinbelow. However, other equivalents separation or isolation procedures could, of course, also be used.
The salt products are also isolated by conventional means. For example, the reaction mixtures may be evaporated to a dryness, and the salts can be further purified by conventional methods such as those listed above.
The compounds of formula (1) and (2) have three or more asymmetric centers. Accordingly, they may be prepared in either optically active (+) or (-) form or as a (.+-.) racemic mixture. Unless otherwise specified, the compounds described herein are all racemic mixtures. However, the scope of the invention described and claimed encompasses the individual optical isomers and non-racemic mixtures thereof as well as the racemic forms of the compounds of formula (1) and (2).
If desired, the compounds herein may be resolved into their optical antipodes by conventional resolution means; for example by separation (e.g. fractional crystallization) of the diastereomeric salts formed by the reaction of these compounds with optically active acids, at temperatures between 0.degree. C. and the reflux temperature of the solvent employed for fractional crystallization. Exemplary of such optically active acids are the optically active forms of camphor-10-sulfonic acid, 2-bromo-camphor-10-sulfonic acid, camphoric acid, menthoxyacetic acid, tartaric acid, malic acid, diacetyltartaric acid, pyrrolidine-5-carboxylic acid and the like. The separated pure diastereomeric salts may then be cleaved by standard means, such as treatment with a base, to afford the respective optical isomers of the compounds of formula (1) or (2).
Salts of Compounds of Formula (1) and (2)
The compounds of formula (1) and (2) may be converted to a corresponding acid addition salt by virtue of the presence of the tertiary nitrogen atoms.
The conversion is accomplished by treatment with at least a stoichiometric amount of an appropriate acid, such as hydrochloric acid, hydrobromic acid, sulfuric acid, nitric acid, phosphoric acid and the like, and organic acids such as acetic acid, propionic acid, glycolic acid, pyruvic acid, oxalic acid, malic acid, malonic acid, succinic acid, maleic acid, fumaric acid, tartaric acid, citric acid, benzoic acid, cinnamic acid, mandelic acid, menthanesulfonic acid, ethanesulfonic acid, p-toluenesulfonic acid, salicylic acid and the like. Typically, the free base is dissolved in an inert organic solvent such as diethyl ether, ethyl acetate, chloroform, ethanol or methanol and the like, and the acid added in a similar solvent. The temperature is maintained at 0.degree.-50.degree. C. The resulting salt precipitates spontaneously or may be brought out of solution with a less polar solvent.
The acid addition salts of the compounds of formula (1) and (2) may be decomposed to the corresponding free bases by treatment with at least a stoichiometric amount of a suitable base such as sodium or potassium hydroxide, potassium carbonate, sodium bicarbonate, ammonia, and the like.

Utility and Administration
The compounds of formula (1) and (2) and the pharmaceutically acceptable acid addition salts thereof have been found to possess valuable pharmacological properties in the central nervous system and, in particular, have been shown to block .alpha..sub.2 -receptors in standard laboratory tests. Accordingly these compounds and pharmaceutically acceptable compositions containing them are useful in the prevention, reduction and inhibition of depression in mammals, including humans, and in regulation of other physiological phenomena related to .alpha..sub.2 -receptors.
Other physiological activities include, for example, inhibition of platelet aggregation, palliation of diabetes, alleviation of male impotence, lowering of intraoccular pressure (useful in treating e.g. glaucoma) and stimulation of weight loss.
In applying the compounds of this invention to treatment of conditions which are regulated by the CNS, administration of the active compounds and salts described herein can be via any of the accepted modes of administration for agents which relieve depression or affect the central nervous system including oral, parenteral and otherwise systemic route of administration. Any pharmaceutically acceptable mode of administration can be used, including solid, semi-solid or liquid dosage forms, such as, for example, tablets, suppositories, pills, capsules, powders, liquids, suspensions, or the like, preferably in unit dosage forms suitable for single administration of precise dosages, or in sustained or controlled release dosage forms for the prolonged administration of the compound at a predetermined rate. The compositions will typically include a conventional pharmaceutical carrier or excipient and an active compound of formula (1) or (2) or the pharmaceutically acceptable salts thereof and, in addition, may include other medicinal agents, pharmaceutical agents, carriers, adjuvants, etc.
The amount of active compound administered will of course, be dependent on the subject being treated, the severity of the affliction, the manner of administration and the judgment of the prescribing physician. However, an effective dosage is in the range of 0.01-1 mg/kg/day, preferably 0.1-0.5 mg/kg/day. For an average 70 kg human, this would amount to 0.7-70 mg per day, or preferably 7-35 mg/day.
For solid compositions, conventional non-toxic solid carriers include, for example, pharmaceutical grades of mannitol, lactose, starch, magnesium stearate, sodium saccharin, talcum, cellulose, glucose, sucrose, magnesium carbonate, and the like may be used. The active compound as defined above may be formulated as suppositories using, for example, polyalkylene glycols, for example, propylene glycol, as the carrier. Liquid pharmaceutically administerable compositions can, for example, be prepared by dissolving, dispersing, etc. an active compound as defined above and optional pharmaceutical adjuvants in a carrier, such as, for example, water, saline, aqueous dextrose, glycerol, ethanol, and the like, to thereby form a solution or suspension. If desired, the pharmaceutical composition to be administered may also contain minor amounts of nontoxic auxiliary substances such as wetting or emulsifying agents, pH buffering agents and the like, for example, sodium acetate, sorbitan monolaurate, triethanolamine sodium acetate, sorbitan monolaurate, triethanolamine oleate, etc. Actual methods of preparing such dosage forms are known, or will be apparent, to those skilled in this art; for example, see Remington's Pharmaceutical Sciences, Mack Publishing Company, Easton, Pa., 15th Edition, 1975. The composition or formulation to be administered will, in any event, contain a quantity of the active compound(s) in an amount effective to alleviate the symptoms of the subject being treated.
Dosage forms or compositions containing active ingredient (compounds of formula (1) and (2) or its salts) in the range of 0.25 to 95% with the balance made up from non-toxic carrier may be prepared.
For oral administration, a pharmaceutically acceptable non-toxic composition is formed by the incorporation of any of the normally employed excipients, such as, for example pharmaceutical grades of mannitol, lactose, starch, magnesium stearate, sodium saccharin, talcum, cellulose, glucose, sucrose, magnesium, carbonate, and the like. Such compositions take the form of solutions, suspensions, tablets, pills, capsules, powders, sustained release formulations and the like. Such compositions may contain 1%-95% active ingredient, preferably 5-50%.
Parenteral administration is generally characterized by injection, either subcutaneously, intramuscularly or intravenously. Injectables can be prepared in conventional forms, either as liquid solutions or suspensions, solid forms suitable for solution or suspension in liquid prior to injection, or as emulsions. Suitable excipients are, for example, water, saline, dextrose, glycerol, ethanol or the like. In addition, if desired, the pharmaceutical compositions to be administered may also contain minor amounts of non-toxic auxiliary substances such as wetting or emulsifying agents, pH buffering agents and the like, such as for example, sodium acetate, sorbitan monolaurate, triethanolamine oleate, etc.
A more recently devised approach for parenteral administration employs the implantation of a slow-release or sustained-release system, such that a constant level of dosage is maintained. See, e.g., U.S. Pat. No. 3,710,795.
The percentage of active compound contained in such parental compositions is highly dependent on the specific nature thereof, as well as the activity of the compound and the needs of the subject. However, percentages of active ingredient of 0.1% to 10% in solution are employable, and will be higher if the composition is a solid which will be subsequently diluted to the above percentages. Preferably the composition will comprise 0.2-2% of the active agent in solution.
For systemic administration via suppository, traditional binders and carriers include, e.g. polyalkalene glycols or triglycerides. Such suppositories may be formed from mixtures containing active ingredient in the range of 0.5%-10%; preferably 1-2%.
In applying the compounds of the invention to treatment of diseases or disorders of the eye which are associated with an abnormally high intraoccular pressure, administration may be achieved by any pharmaceutically acceptable mode of administration which provides adequate local concentrations to provide the desired response. These include direct administration to the eye via drops and controlled release inserts or implants, as well as systemic administration as previously described.
Drops and solutions applied directly to the eye are typically sterilized aqueous solutions containing 0.001% to 10%, most preferably 0.005% to 1% of the active ingredient, along with suitable buffer, stabilizer, and preservative. The total concentration of solutes should be such that, if possible, the resulting solution is isotonic with the lacrimal fluid (though this is not absolutely necessary) and has an equivalent pH in the range of pH 6-8. Typical sterilants are phenyl mercuric acetate, thimerosal, chlorobutanol, and benzalconium chloride. Typical buffer systems and salts are based on, for example, citrate, borate or phosphate; suitable stabilizers include glycerin and polysorbate 80. The aqueous solutions are formulated simply by dissolving the solutes in a suitable quantity of water, adjusting the pH to about 6.8-8.0, making a final volume adjustment with additional water, and sterilizing the preparation using methods known to those in the art.
The dosage level of the resulting composition will, of course, depend on the concentration of the drops, the condition of the subject and the individual magnitude of responses to treatment. However, a typical occular composition could be administered at the rate of about 2-10 drops per day per eye of a 0.1% solution of active ingredient.
The following preparation and examples illustrate the invention but are not intended to limit its scope.
PREPARATION 1
Preparation of (.+-.)-5,6,13,13a-Tetrahydroisoguino[2,1-g][1,6]naphthyridin-8-one hydrochloride and
Related Compounds of Formula (IV).
A. Diisopropylamine (28 ml) and 150 ml of tetrahydrofuran were cooled to -65.degree. C. and 125 mL of 1.6M n-butyllithium was added. To the resulting solution was added a solution of 16.2 g of 3,4-dihydroisoquinoline and 38.4 g of 2-methylnicotinic acid diethylamide in tetrahydrofuran. The mixture was allowed to warm to -20.degree. C. and 600 ml of 3N hydrochloric acid was then added followed by 200 ml of water. The mixture was basified with NH.sub.4 OH and extracted twice with ether. The ether extracts were combined, dried over anhydrous magnesium sulfate and evaporated to a residue, which was dissolved in methanol and acidified with anhydrous HCl in ether. Acetone (50 ml) was added and the mixture was allowed to stand overnight. The crystalline product was collected by filtration, yielding 34 g of (.+-.)-5,6,13,13a-tetrahydroisoquino[2,1-g][1,6]naphthyridine-8-one hydrochloride, m.p. 220.degree.-222.degree. C.
An additional 7.5 g of the title compound as the free base was obtained by evaporation of the mother liquor followed by partitioning between ether and aqueous NH.sub.4 OH and silica gel chromatography of the residue obtained from evaporation of the ether, eluting with ethyl acetate, giving the free base, m.p. 72.degree.-73.degree.

EXAMPLE 13
Assay for pre- and post-synaptic .alpha.-adrenoceptor blockade
Protocol:
(According to Caroon, J. M. et al., J. Med. Chem., 1982, Vol. 25, 666.)
Contralateral, prostatic and epididymal portions of the rat isolated vas deferens were suspended in separate organ baths containing oxygenated Krebs-bicarbonate solution at 37.degree. C. The test compound was added to the Krebs-bicarbonate solution bathing the epididymal and prostatic portions of vas deferens. The contralateral portions served as control tissues. All tissues were then allowed to equilibrate with the bathing solution for 30 minutes.
Pre-synaptic .alpha.-adrenoceptor blockade was determined using the prostatic portions of vas deferens. Following the equilibration period, dose-response curves for the inhibitory effect of xylazine on the contractile response of the vas deferens to single pulse nerve stimulation were obtained.
Post-synaptic .alpha.-adrenoceptor blockade was determined using the epididymal portions of rat vas deferens. Following the equilibration period, dose-response curves for the contractile effects of phenylephrine on the vas deferens were obtained.
EXAMPLE 14
Determination of Platelet Aggregation Inhibition
Protocol:
Blood platelets are collected in the standard manner, and incubated in an Aggregation Module Incubator-Cuvette in the presence of either the inhibitor to be tested, or without said inhibitor as a control. The aggregation of the platelets is observed after the addition of an inducer, and the samples are evaluated for the presence of a lag period and the slope of the aggregation curve, as well as the maximum height of the aggregation curve in comparison to the control. IC.sub.50 values i.e. the concentration of inhibitor required for 50% inhibition can be calculated from the inflection point on the appropriate dose response curve.
EXAMPLE 15
Determination of Effect on Intraoccular Pressure
Protocol:
The compound to be tested is dissolved in saline, and applied topically to the eye. The intraoccular pressure is measured immediately before application, and at specified time intervals thereafter, by means of a probe which measures the force necessary to flatten a small area of corneal surface, according to the method described by Moses, R. A., Tr. Am. Acad. Opth. and Otol., January-February 1962: 88-95.
