For isolation or purification purposes it is also possible to use pharmaceutically unacceptable salts. Only the pharmaceutically acceptable non-toxic salts are used therapeutically, and those salts are therefore preferred.
The compounds of formula I and their pharmaceutically acceptable salts have valuable pharmacological properties. In particular, they exhibit a pronounced inhibitory action on the biosynthesis of interleukin-1 (IL-1). IL-1 belongs to the class of the proinflammatory proteins and plays an important part, for example, in prostaglandin synthesis, in the synthesis of neutral proteases by fibroplasts, synovial cells and chondrocytes, in the activation of endothelial cells and in the induction of other proinflammatory cytokines, such as the .alpha.-tumour necrosis factor (TNF) and interleukin-6 (IL-6). Furthermore, it stimulates bone resorption, regulates the body temperature of warm-blooded animals and regulates inter alia the development, activation, differentiation and proliferation of lymphocytes. Of particular importance therapeutically is the inhibitory action of the compounds of formula I and their pharmaceutically acceptable salts on the biosynthesis of IL-1, TNF and IL-6. This can be demonstrated in vitro, for example, on lipopolysaccharide-stimulated (LPS-stimulated) human monocytes according to C. Rordorf-Adam et al., Drugs Exptl. Clin. Res. XV, 355-362 (1989) in a concentration range upwards from approximately 1 .mu.mol, and in vivo in mice by means of the inhibition of the LPS-induced formation of serum amyloid P (SAP) at an ED.sub.50 of approximately from 1 to 15 mg/kg p.o., and in rats by means of the reduction in the artificial fever produced by LPS at an ED.sub.50 of approximately from 0.05 to 3.5 mg/kg p.o.
On account of those properties, the compounds of formula I and their pharmaceutically acceptable salts are excellently suitable for the therapeutic treatment of disorders in which excess production of IL-1 plays a causal or aggravating role, such as inflammatory and degenerative disorders of the joints, for example rheumatoid arthritis, osteoarthritis, psoriatic or infectious arthritis, of Reiter syndrome, of gout and traumatic arthritis, and of other acute or chronic inflammations, for example of inflammatory intestinal disorders, of meningitis, skin disorders, such as psoriasis, pemphigus vulgaris and the like, of allergic skin reactions, atherosclerosis and autoimmune disorders, such as diabetes (type 1) and thyroiditis.
Examples of other disorders in which excess production of IL-1 plays a causal or aggravating role are: disturbances in the regulation of bone metabolism, for example Paget's disease, osteoporosis, periodontitis or malignancies; or endotoxic shock, for example associated with fever, hypotension and fulminant liver failure.
In addition, the compounds of formula I and their pharmaceutically acceptable salts have a pronounced analgesic action which may be demonstrated, for example, by means of the inhibition of the phenyl-p-benzoquinone-induced writhing syndrome in mice, for example in a test arrangement based on that of Hendershot and Forsaith, J. Pharmacol. Exp. Therap. 125, 237 (1959) with an ED.sub.50 of approximately from 1 to 30 mg/kg p.o.

When X.sub.1 is carboxy, there are formed initially, for example, the corresponding ammonium salts, which can be dehydrated by heating or by treatment with suitable dehydrating agents (as condensation agents), such as carbodiimides, for example N,N'-di-lower alkyl- or N,N'-dicycloalkyl-carbodiimide, such as N,N'-diethyl-, N,N'-diisopropyl- or N,N'-dicyclohexyl-carbodiimide, advantageously with the addition of N-hydroxysuccinimide, or of 1-hydroxybenzotriazole which is unsubstituted or substituted, for example by halogen, lower alkoxy or by lower alkyl, or of N-hydroxy-5-norbornene-2,3-dicarboxamide or N,N-carbonyldiimidazole. When carbodiimides are used, the corresponding 1-isoureidocarbonyl compounds, for example, may also be formed intermediately. There may be used as water-binding condensation agents also N-ethoxycarbonyl-2-ethoxy-1,2-dihydroquinoline, phosphoryl-cyanamides or -azides, such as diethylphosphorylcyanamide or diphenylphosphorylazide, triphenylphosphine disulfide or 1-lower alkyl-2-halopiperidinium halides, such as 1-methyl-2-chloropyridinium iodide.

For the preparation of compounds of formula II wherein X.sub.1 is unsubstituted or substituted C.sub.1 -C.sub.7 alkoxycarbonyl, it is possible in customary manner to use the free acid (X.sub.1 =carboxy) or an acid anhydride (X.sub.1 is, for example, halocarbonyl) as starting material and to react it, for example, with the corresponding alcohol, which may if necessary be in reactive form, for example a C.sub.1 -C.sub.7 alkyl halide. The preparation of compounds of formula II wherein X.sub.1 is optionally additionally activated vinyloxycarbonyl may be effected, for example, by transesterification of a C.sub.1 -C.sub.7 alkyl ester with vinyl acetate (activated vinyl ester method), by reaction of the free acid of compounds of formula II with lower alkoxyacetylene (e.g. ethoxyacetylene method) or, analogously to the Woodward method, with a 1,2-oxazolium salt. Compounds of formula II containing unsubstituted or substituted phenoxy- or thiophenoxy-carbonyl can be prepared, for example, starting from the free acid by the carbodiimide method by reaction with the corresponding (thio)phenol. Likewise starting from the free acid of formula II it is possible to obtain compounds of formula II wherein X.sub.1 is activated methoxycarbonyl or 1,1- or 1,3-disubstituted 2-isoureidocarbonyl, for example by reaction with a haloacetonitrile, such as chloroacetonitrile, (cyanomethyl ester method) or with a carbodiimide or cyanamide (carbodiimide or cyanamide method). The preparation of N-C.sub.2 -C.sub.7 alkylene-aminooxycarbonyl or N-imidooxycarbonyl compounds of formula II can be carried out, for example, using the free acid of formula II, from corresponding N-hydroxy compounds with the aid of carbodiimides by the activated N-hydroxy ester method. For the preparation of compounds of formula II wherein X.sub.1 is unbranched or branched C.sub.1 -C.sub.7 alkoxycarbonyloxycarbonyl, halophosphoryloxycarbonyl or unsubstituted or substituted C.sub.1 -C.sub.7 -alkanoyloxycarbonyl, it is possible to use as starting material, for example, the free acid of formula II, which can be treated, for example, with a corresponding halide, such as an unsubstituted or substituted C.sub.1 -C.sub.7 alkylcarbonic acid halide (mixed O-carbonic acid anhydrides method), a phosphorus oxyhalide (e.g. phosphorus oxychloride method) or an unsubstituted or substituted C.sub.1 -C.sub.7 alkanoyl halide (mixed carboxylic acid halides method). Azidocarbonyl compounds of formula II are obtainable, for example, by treatment of corresponding hydrazides with nitrous acid (azide method). For the preparation of compounds of formula II wherein X.sub.1 is unsubstituted or substituted 1-imidazolylcarbonyl or 1-pyrazolylcarbonyl, the free acid of formula II is reacted, for example, with di(1-imidazolyl)carbonyl (imidazolide method), or the corresponding hydrazide is reacted, for example, with a corresponding 1,3-diketone (pyrazolide method).
Variant b): The radical X.sub.3 is especially reactive esterified hydroxy, for example halogen, such as chlorine.
The N-alkylation according to the process is carried out in a manner known per se, if necessary in the presence of a base, for example one of those mentioned above.
Some of the starting materials used in this process variant are known, or they can be prepared in a manner known per se.
For example, the starting material of formula IV can be prepared by reacting a compound of formula II, or a salt thereof, wherein X.sub.1 is carboxy or reactive functionally modified carboxy, with a compound of formula IVa ##STR12## or with a salt thereof, wherein Z.sub.1 is hydrogen or an amino-protecting group, such as benzyl, in the manner described in variant a) and, if necessary, removing the amino-protecting group, for example benzyl, by customary hydrogenolysis.
Variant c): The cyclisation (intramolecular N-alkylation) according to the process is carried out in a manner known per se, if necessary in the presence of a condensation agent, especially a basic condensation agent. There are used as bases, for example, those mentioned above.
X.sub.3 is here especially reactive esterified hydroxy, preferably halogen, such as chlorine.
The starting material can be prepared in a manner known per se, for example starting from a compound of formula II, or a salt thereof, wherein X.sub.1 is carboxy or reactive functionally modified carboxy, which is first reacted with a compound of formula ##STR13## analogously to variant a). In the next reaction step, the resulting compound is reacted with a compound of the formula X.sub.3 --CH.sub.2 --CH.sub.2 --X.sub.3 (VIc) under N-alkylating conditions according to variant b).
Variant d): A group Z that can be oxidised to form --CO-- is especially --CH.sub.2 --. The oxidation of corresponding compounds of formula VII is carried out by means of a suitable oxidising agent, there preferably being used a tetra-C.sub.1 -C.sub.4 alkylammonium permanganate that is unsubstituted or substituted, for example by a phenyl radical, especially benzyltriethylammonium permanganate.
The starting material of formula VII is prepared in a manner known per se, for example starting from a compound of formula III wherein X.sub.2 is hydrogen, which is reacted under the N-alkylating conditions described in variant b) with a compound of formula VIIa ##STR14## wherein X.sub.6 is hydroxy or, especially, reactive esterified hydroxy, especially halogen, such as chlorine or bromine.
Variant e): The introduction of lower alkenoyl or electronegatively substituted lower alkanoyl (N-acylation) is carried out in customary manner, if necessary in the presence of a condensation agent, especially a basic condensation agent. There are suitable as bases, for example, representatives of the bases mentioned above.
Varient f): The introduction of lower alkoxy-lower alkyl R.sub.1 (N-alkoxyalkylation) is carried out in customary manner, if necessary in the presence of a condensation agent, especially a basic condensation agent. There are suitable as bases, for example, representatives of the bases mentioned above.
A compound according to the invention obtainable according to the process or in another manner can be converted in a manner known per se into a different compound according to the invention.
In compounds according to the invention wherein R.sub.1 is lower alkoxy-lower alkyl and R.sub.2 is hydrogen, the amino group can be N-acylated in the manner indicated above under varient a), b) or e). Likewise, a compound of formula I wherein R.sub.1 is hydrogen and R.sub.2 is lower alkenoyl or electronegatively substituted lower alkanoyl can be N-lower alkylated or N-substituted by lower alkoxy-lower alkyl in the manner indicated for process variant f). The N-lower alkylation can also be carried out by reduction analogously to the Leuckart-Wallach (or Eschweiler-Clarke) reaction from carbonyl compounds, for example using formic acid as reducing agent.
Resulting salts can be converted into the free compounds in a manner known per se, for example by treatment with a base, such as an alkali metal hydroxide, a metal carbonate or hydrogen carbonate, or ammonia, or another salt-forming base mentioned at the beginning, or with an acid, such as a mineral acid, for example with hydrochloric acid, or another salt-forming acid mentioned at the beginning.
Resulting salts can be converted into different salts in a manner known per se; acid addition salts can be converted, for example, by treatment with a suitable metal salt, such as a sodium, barium or silver salt, of a different acid in a suitable solvent in which an inorganic salt that forms is insoluble and therefore is eliminated from the reaction equilibrium, and basic salts can be converted by freeing the free acid and converting it into a salt again.
The compounds of formula I, including their salts, can also be obtained in the form of hydrates or include the solvent used for crystallisation.
In view of the close relationship between the novel compounds in free form and in the form of their salts, hereinbefore and hereinafter any reference to the free compounds or their salts is to be understood as including the corresponding salts or free compounds, as appropriate and expedient.
The invention relates also to those forms of the process in which a compound obtainable as intermediate at any stage of the process is used as starting material and the remaining steps are carried out, or in which a starting material is used in the form of a salt or, especially, is formed under the reaction conditions.
The invention relates also to the novel starting materials which were developed specifically for the preparation of the compounds according to the invention, especially to those starting materials that result in the compounds of formula I characterised at the beginning as being preferred, to processes for their preparation, and to their use as intermediates.
The novel compounds of formula I can be used, for example, in the form of pharmaceutical compositions that comprise a therapeutically effective amount of the active ingredient, optionally together with inorganic or organic, solid or liquid, pharmaceutically acceptable carriers, which are suitable for enteral, e.g. oral, or parenteral administration. There are used, for example, tablets or gelatin capsules that comprise the active ingredient together with diluents, for example lactose, dextrose, saccharose, mannitol, sorbitol, cellulose, and/or lubricants, for example silica, talc, stearic acid or salts thereof, such as magnesium or calcium stearate, and/or polyethylene glycol. Tablets can also comprise binders, for example magnesium aluminum silicate, starches, such as corn, wheat, rice or arrowroot starch, gelatin, tragacanth, methylcellulose, sodium carboxymethylcellulose and/or polyvinylpyrrolidone, and, if desired, disintegrators, for example starches, agar, alginic acid or a salt thereof, for example sodium alginate, and/or effervescent mixtures, or absorbents, colouring agents, flavourings and sweetners. The novel compounds of formula I can also be used, for example, in the form of parenterally administrable compositions or in the form of infusion solutions. Such solutions are preferably isotonic aqueous solutions or suspensions which, for example in the case of lyophilised compositions that comprise the active ingredient on its own or together with a carrier, for example mannitol, can be prepared before use. The pharmaceutical compositions may be sterilised and/or may comprise excipients, for example preservatives, stabilisers, wetting agents and/or emulsifiers, solubilisers, salts for regulating the osmotic pressure and/or buffers. The pharmaceutical compositions in question, which, if desired, may comprise further pharmacologically active substances, are prepared in a manner known per se, for example by means of conventional mixing, granulating, confectioning, dissolving or lyophilising processes, and comprise approximately from 0.1% to 100%, especially from approximately 1% to approximately 50%, in the case of lyophilisates up to approximately 100%, active ingredient.
The invention relates also to the use of the compounds of formula I, preferably in the form of pharmaceutical compositions. The dosage may depend upon various factors, such as the mode of administration and the species, age and/or individual condition. The doses to be administered daily are, in the case of oral administration, from approximately 0.25 to approximately 10 mg/kg, and in the case of warm-blooded animals having a body weight of approximately 70 kg, they are preferably from approximately 20 mg to approximately 500 mg.
