Description
BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION
1. Field of Invention
The present invention relates to certain organic compounds which may be referred to as disubstituted-2-butanols and is more particularly concerned with 1-aryloxy-4-amino-2-butanols and with processes for the production thereof, intermediate products useful in the preparation thereof and with processes for the preparation of such intermediates, compositions containing the 1-aryloxy-4-amino-2-butanols as active ingredients and methods for the use thereof.
2. Discussion of the Prior Art
The compounds which are the subject of this invention are related to known 1-aryloxy-3-amino-2-propanols as having beta-adrenergic blocking, anticonvulsant, sedative and tranquilizing activity. Among the United States patents disclosing the aforementioned 1,3-disubstituted-2-propanols and their pharmacological properties are U.S. Pat. Nos. 3,337,628; 3,415,873; 3,432,545; and 3,520,919. U.S. Pat. No. 3,337,628 in particular discloses 1-isopropyl-amino-3-(1-naphthyloxy)-2-propanol which compound is a potent betablocking agent.
SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION
The present invention is especially concerned with novel 1-aryloxy-4-amino-2-butanols having the formula:
wherein;
Ar is 1-naphthyl, 2-naphthyl, indene-4(or 5-)yl, 3-(or 5-)chloro-2-pyridyl, phenyl, monosubstituted phenyl or disubstituted phenyl,
R.sup.1 is lower alkyl, phenyl, phenylalkyl, 2-hydroxymethyl-2-propyl, adamantyl or lower cycloalkyl,
R.sup.2 is hydrogen or lower alkyl,
R.sup.1 and R.sup.2 together with the adjacent nitrogen form a heterocyclic residue, and
pharmaceutically acceptable acid addition salts thereof.
The compounds of the invention having the foregoing Formula I are generally characterized by important and significant pharmacological activity, which is indicative of their use in counteracting certain phsyiological abnormalities in an animal body. The compounds possess local anesthetic, beta-adrenergic blocking, anti-hypertensive and antiarrhythmic properties.
The 1-aryloxy-4-amino-2-butanols were evaluated for pharmacological activity and were found to possess antiarrhythmic properties against experimentally induced cardiac arrhythmias in dogs. The prior art homolog 1,3-disubstituted-2-propanols also have antiarrhythmic activity. However, in contrast to the prior art 2-propanols, the novel 2-butanols of the present invention have minimal beta-adrenergic blocking activity, enabling them to be employed in controlling moderate to serious arrhythmias without the dangers of cardiac failure and respiratory difficulties, which dangers are attendant when the prior art 1,3-disubstituted-2-propanols having potent beta-adrenergic blocking activity are used in controlling cardiac arrhythmias.
Compounds of Formula I wherein Ar is 1-naphthyl and --NR.sup.1 R.sup.2 is lower-alkylamino, lower cycloalkylamino wherein lower cycloalkyl has from 5 to 7 carbon atoms, phenylalkylamino, 2-hydroxymethyl-2-propylamino or phenylamino represent preferred compounds for their antiarrhythmic activity.
Compounds of Formula I wherein Ar is an ortho-lower-alkoxyphenoxy radical, particularly methoxy- and ethoxy-phenoxy radicals, and --NR.sup.1 R.sup.2 is lower-alkylamino, lower cycloalkylamino wherein lower cycloalkyl has from 5 to 7 carbon atoms, phenylalkylamino, 2-hydroxymethyl-2-propylamino or phenylamino are also of particular interest for their antiarrhythmic activity.
To illustrate the utility of the compounds of this invention the following tabulation indicates the amount of certain representative compounds of this invention to correct ouabain-induced arrhythmias in anesthetized dogs.
It is accordingly an object of this invention to provide novel 1-aryloxy-4-amino-2-butanols which are useful pharmacologically because of their aforesaid types of activity, processes for the production thereof, and intermediate products useful in the preparation thereof and processes for the production of such intermediates which in themselves have useful pharmacological activity. A further object is to provide novel compositions containing 1-aryloxy-4-amino-2-butanols as active ingredients and methods for their use. Other objects of the invention will be apparent to one skilled in the art, and still other objects will become apparent hereinafter.
In the definitions of the symbols in foregoing Formula I and where they appear elsewhere throughout this specification, the terms have the following significance.
The term "lower alkyl" as used herein includes straight and branched chain radicals of up to eight carbon atoms inclusive and is exemplified by such groups as methyl, ethyl, propyl, isopropyl, tertiary butyl, amyl, isoamyl, hexyl, heptyl, octyl, and the like.
The term "lower alkoxy" has the formula --O--lower alkyl.
When halogen is referred to herein, preferably but not necessarily, a halogen of atomic weight in excess of eighteen but not greater than eighty is employed.
The term "heterocyclic residue" as used herein includes basic saturated monocyclic heterocyclic radicals and basic unsaturated monocyclic heterocyclic radicals of less than twelve carbon atoms, as exemplified by piperidino; (lower alkyl)piperidino, e.g., 2-, 3-, or 4-(lower alkyl)piperidino; pyrrolidino; morpholino; di-(lower alkyl)morpholino, e.g., 3,5-dimethylmorpholino; 2,6-dimethylmorpholino; piperazino; (lower alkyl)piperazino (e.g., N.sup.4 -methylpiperazino); phenylpiperazino (e.g., N.sup.4 -phenylpiperazino); 1,2,3,4-tetrahydroisoquinolyl; 1,2,3,6-tetrahydropyridino, 4-(2-pyridyl)piperazino, and phthalimido.
Included in the term "phenylalkyl" are groups such as benzyl, phenethyl, methylbenzyl, phenpropyl, and the like.
The term "lower cycloalkyl" includes cyclic radicals having up to eight carbon atoms and includes radicals such as cyclopropyl, cyclobutyl, cyclopentyl, cyclohexyl, cycloheptyl and cyclooctyl.
The term "phenyl" includes the unsubstituted phenyl radical, the substituted phenyl radical and the disubstituted phenyl radical. Among the suitable substituted and disubstituted phenyl radicals are those which are substituted by any radical or radicals which are not reactive or otherwise interfering under the conditions of reaction in preparing the desired compound, such radicals including lower alkyl, lower alkoxy, trifluoromethyl, acetyl, acetylamino, halo, trifluoromethyl, and phenyl. The substituted phenyl radicals have preferably one or two substituents such as those given above and, furthermore, the substituents can be in various available positions of the phenyl nucleus and, when more than one substituent is present, can be the same or different and can be in various combinations relative to each other. The lower alkyl and lower alkoxy substituents each have preferably from one to four carbon atoms which can be arranged as straight or branched chains. A total of nine carbon atoms in all ring substituents, making a total of fifteen carbon atoms in the radical, is the preferred maximum.
The compounds of the invention are most conveniently employed in the form of phrmaceutically acceptable acid addition salts. Such salts have improved water solubility over the free bases. Appropriate acid addition salts are those derived from mineral acids such as hydrochloric, hydrobromic, sulfuric and phosphoric; and organic acids such as acetic, citric, lactic, maleic, oxalic, fumaric and tartaric. The preferred acid addition salt is the hydrochloride. The acid addition salts are conveniently prepared by reaction of the basic compounds with the selected acid, either or both of which may be in the form of ether, alcohol or acetone solutions.
The present invention also includes the novel 1-aryloxy-4-chloro-2-butanols of Formula IV which are useful as intermediates for preparing the final amine products of Formula I and they may be prepared by the process diagrammed in Chart I, wherein all of the symbols have the meanings given previously. ##STR1##
The 1-aryloxy-4-chloro-2-butanols (IV) are generally prepared by treating an aqueous basic solution or an aqueous-alcoholic basic solution of a phenol, a substituted phenol or an aryl compound having an acidic hydroxyl group of Formula II with 1,4-dichloro-2-butanol III. The addition is carried out at or below 70.degree. C., preferably at from about 30.degree. C. to about 65.degree. C. over a period of from about three hours to about eight hours. Subsequent to the addition the reaction mixture is heated at from about 50.degree. C. to about 75.degree. C., preferably at 60.degree. C. to 70.degree. C. for a period of from about six hours to about forty-eight hours, usually for a period of from twelve hours to eighteen hours.

The preparation of the novel 1-aryloxy-4-amino-2-butanols I of the present invention is designated in the following reaction sequence: ##STR2## wherein all of the symbols have the meanings given hereinabove.
In the reaction sequence the 1-aryloxy-4-chloro-2-butanol (IV) is reacted with an amine (V) to give the novel 1-aryloxy-4-amino-2-butanols (I). The foregoing reaction can be carried out by (A) heating a mixture of the chloro compound and the amine with a solvent in a steel bomb, (B) heating a mixture of the chloro compound and the amine without a solvent in a steel bomb, (C) refluxing a mixture of the chloro compound, the amine and a solvent at atmospheric pressure or (D) heating a mixture of the chloro compound and the amine without a solvent at atmospheric pressure and at a suitable temperature. The selected procedure is somewhat dependent on the nature of the amine reactant. Thus, when the amine is a low molecular volatile amine process A or B is preferred and the bomb contents are heated at from about 100.degree. C. to about 150.degree. C. for a period of from about 12 hours to about 24 hours. When the amine is a high molecular weight non-volatile amine or an amine having low volatility, process C or D is preferred and the reaction mixture is refluxed at the temperature of the solvent used or the mixture is heated at from about 100.degree. C. to about 150.degree. C. The reaction time can be varied, reaction times being somewhat shorter when the chloro compound and the amine are reacted together in the absence of a solvent and a higher reaction temperature is employed. The reaction product in each case is isolated by conventional acid-base extraction procedures and the free base, if desired, is converted to a pharmaceutically acceptable acid addition salt which is further purified by crystallization from a suitable solvent or solvent system. 1-Aryloxy-4-amino-2-butanols which do not form well defined salts can be purified by vacuum distillation.
Examples 1-6 illustrate the preparation of the novel 1-aryloxy-4-amino-2-butanol compounds of the present invention by one of the four optional processes. Table II summarizes the physical data of another group of additional compounds within the scope of Formula I and indicates the process used to prepare each compound.
The preparation of still another group of compounds within the scope of Formula I is described in Examples 78 to 122.
