The compounds of the present invention may have asymmetric carbon atoms. Thus, the compounds of the present invention include all the isomers based on the asymmetric carbon atoms such as optical isomers and racemic compounds.
Preparing methods of the compounds
The compounds (I) of the present invention can be prepared by the following three reaction routes:
First Method ##STR4##
Second Method ##STR5##
Third Method ##STR6## in which "A.sup.1 " represents a saturated hetero ring having 4 to 7 carbon atoms and containing a sulfur atom or a sulfinyl group (--SO--), "A.sup.2 " represents a saturated hetero ring having 4 to 7 carbon atoms and containing a sulfinyl group (--SO--) or a sulfonyl group (--SO.sub.2 --), "X" represents a halogen atom and R.sup.5, R.sup.6, R.sup.7 and R.sup.8 represent a lower alkyl group respectively.
Now, we will describe each of these three routes in more details.
First Method
In this method, all components of an aminoalkyl saturated heterocyclic compound (II), a lower alkyl orthoformate (III) and a phosphite (IV) are mixed each in the stoichiometric amount and are heated to be reacted. A reaction solvent is not specifically required. The reaction is carried out at 100.degree. to 200.degree. C., preferably at 150.degree. C. or so for several ten minutes to several hours.
For isolating and purifying the thus obtained reaction product, the reaction mixture is passed through a silica gel column and is eluted with a mixed solvent of methanol-chloroform.
In the reaction of the aminoalkyl saturated heterocyclic compound (II) with the lower alkyl orthoformate (III), an intermediate of iminoether represented by the general formula: ##STR7## can be isolated.
This intermediate of iminoether is then reacted with the phosphite (IV) to give the compound (I). The thus obtained bisphosphonates can be converted optionally into the corresponding bisphosphonic acids by hydrolysis. The hydrolysis is generally carried out by heating the bisphosphonates under reflux in concentrated hydrochloric acid. Alternatively, the hydrolysis can be effected by treating the bisphosphonates with a strong acid or a trimethylsilyl halide in a water-free solvent. For the method, in general, a commercial anhydrous hydrobromic acid in acetic acid can be used directly or in a form of a pertinently diluted solution, or a solution of a trimethylsilyl iodide as dissolved in a solvent such as carbon tetrachloride, dimethylformamide, chloroform, toluene or the like can be used. Regarding the temperature, the hydrolysis is carried out with cooling or heating. For example, when the ester is hydrolyzed with a trimethylsilyl halide with cooling at -10.degree. C. or lower, a partially hydrolyzed product is obtained.
Second Method
In this method, a mixed solution of phosphorus trihalogenide (VI) and trialkyl phosphite (VII) is reacted at first at 40.degree. to 100.degree. C., preferably at 60.degree. to 80.degree. C. for 15 to 30 minutes. After formylamino compound (VIII) is added to the resulting solution, the mixed solution is heated at 40.degree. to 100.degree. C., preferably at 60.degree. to 80.degree. C. for several hours. The progress of the reaction can be easily be confirmed by TLC (thin layer chromatography, with a developer system of chloroform-methanol). After the completion of the reaction, the excess trialkyl phosphite is removed by distillation. As the halogen atoms, there may be mentioned chlorine atom, bromine atom or iodine atom.
For isolation and purification of the thus obtained reaction product, the reaction mixture is directly passed through a silica gel column chromatography, or alternatively is dissolved in chloroform and is washed with water and, after the solvent is distilled off, the resulting residue is purified by a silica gel column chromatography.
Third Method
This method is effected by oxidizing the compound represented by the general formula (VIII) and then optionally hydrolyzing the oxidized compound.
The oxidation can be carried out by any method which can convert sulfide group (--S--) or sulfinyl group (--SO--) into a sulfinyl group (--SO--) or a sulfonyl group (--SO.sub.2 --). For example, the oxidation can be effected by treating the compound (VIII) with potassium permanganate, chromic acid, hydrogen peroxide or organic peracids such as peracetic acid, perbenzoic acid, methachloroperbenzoic acid or the like.
The reaction solvent can be chosen among acetone, acetonitrile, dioxane, benzene, dichloromethane, chloroform or the like. The compound thus obtained can be optionally hydrolyzed by the method described in the First method to give the compound (Ia) of the present invention.
When the bisphosphonic acids are converted into their salts, the acids are treated with a base such as sodium hydroxide, potassium hydroxide, ammonia, organic amine or the like by usual methods.
The isolation and purification of the objective product (I) can be carried out by usual chemical treatments such as extraction, crystallization, a variety of chromatographic operations or the like.
The compounds (I) and their salts provided by the present invention have a bone resorption-inhibitory action and also have an action for inhibiting hypercalcemia caused by bone resorption. In addition, these are recognized to have excellent anti-inflammatory action and analgesic action.
Experimental test methods and results will be described hereunder so as to support the inhibitory effect on hypercalcemia of the compounds (I) and their salts provided by the present invention.
Inhibitory Effect on Hypercalcemia
Rats of hypercalcemia induced by administration of parathyroid hormone were used and the decrement of the serum calcium amount by administration of the compound was measured.
Test Method
Human 1-34 parathyroid hormone (PTH, manufactured by Peptide Laboratory) which was dissolved in a 0.1% BSA (bovine serum albumin)-containing physiological saline was intravenously injected in an amount of 30 .mu.g/kg (5 ml/kg as the solution) to 5-week-old male Wistar rats which had been fasting for 20 hours. To a normal control group, 0.1% BSA-containing physiological saline alone was injected in the same manner. 45 minutes after the PTH injection, the rats were etherized and then subjected to celiotomy in order to collect blood from the abdominal cava with a vacuum blood-collecting tube. The blood collected was immediately centrifuged by 3000 rpm at 4.degree. C. for 10 minutes to isolate the serum. The concentration of ionized calcium (Ca.sup.++) in the serum was immediately measured in a Ca.sup.++ meter (Sera 250, manufactured by Horiba Manufacturing Co.).
The compounds of the present invention were dissolved in physiological saline and pH was adjusted to 7.4 with sodium hydroxide and hydrochloric acid. The solution was subcutaneously administered at a dose of 2 ml/kg 72 hours before the PTH injection. In the same manner, a physiological saline was administered to the normal control group and the control group.
The results for each group were expressed in terms of mean .+-.S.E. (standard error) and comparison was made among the groups by testing by one-way analysis of variance. The significance level was taken at 5%.
Results
The results obtained by the subcutaneous and oral administration are shown in Table 1.
From the test results, the compounds of the present invention were demonstrated to have an excellent action for reducing the amount of serum calcium. Accordingly, it is confirmed that the compounds of the present invention have a boneresorption inhibitory action. As diseases considered to be caused by an excessive bone-resorption, there may be mentioned Paget's disease, hypercalcemia, metastatic osteocarcinoma, and osteoporosis. Further, sthenic bone resorption in inflammatory arthritides such as rheumatoid arthritis is also an important problem from a clinical point of view. The compounds provided by the present invention can be used as remedial medicines for these diseases to inhibit the bone resorption and to prevent the reduction of the bone amount or to prevent or reduce the rising of the serum calcium value caused by the sthenic bone resorption.
The compounds (I) of the present invention and their salts can be used as they are or are blended with any pharmaceutically acceptable carrier, vehicle, attenuant or the like to be formed into medical compositions, such as tablets, capsules, powder, granules, pills or the like for oral administration and injection solution, syrup, suppositories, ointment or the like for non-oral administration. The amount of the dose of the compounds (I) of the present invention is, although varying in accordance with the administration route, patient's symptom, etc., generally from 1 mg/day/adult to 1 g/day/adult for oral administration and from 0.1 to 10 mg/day/adult for non-oral administration.
