Additional compounds of the present invention include 5-{[3,5-bis(1,1-dimethylethyl)-4-hydroxyphenyl]methylene}-2-thioxo-4-thiaz olidinone (referred to in the following discussion as Compound A); 5-{[3,5-bis(1,1-dimethylethyl)-4-hydroxyphenyl]methylene}-4-thiazolidinone (Compound B); 5-{[3,5-bis(1,1-dimethylethyl)-4-hydroxyphenyl]methyl}-4-thiazolidinone (Compound C); and 5-{[3,5 -bis(1,1-dimethylethyl)-4-hydroxyphenyl]methyl}-2-thioxo-4-thiazolidinone (Compound D). Compound A is taught in the art by Teuber et al., Leibigs Ann. Chem., 757 (1978) (as compound V). The compound is prepared by the reaction of 3,5-di-tert-butyl-4-hydroxybenzaldehyde with rhodanine at reflux temperature in glacial acetic acid with fused sodium acetate as a catalyst. Compounds B, C, and D can be prepared from Compound A. For example, when Compound A is subjected to catalytic hydrogenation, one obtains both Compounds B and C. The relative proportions of each depends upon the temperature, pressure, and duration of hydrogenation, the solvent employed, and the particular catalyst used. For example, when Compound A is treated with 5% palladium on carbon in ethanol at 100.degree. C. for approximately 18 hours, the relative ratios of Compound B:C are approximately 60:40. Alternatively, these transformations may be accomplished by heating Compound A in a mixture of hydrochloric acid and an alcohol such as ethanol in the presence of zinc. Reduction of the thione without affecting the benzylic double bond may be accomplished by heating the thione with a reducing agent such as tri-n-butyl tin hydride in a non-reactive solvent, such as toluene, and preferably in the presence of a free radical initiator, such as azobisisobutyronitrile. However, for such reduction to work, an N-substituted rhodanine substrate (i.e., Q cannot be --NH) must be employed.
The transformation of Compound A to D may be accomplished by a variety of methods known in the art. A preferred method is that taught by Nakamura et al., Tetrahedron Letters, 25, 3983 (1984). In this reaction, Compound A is treated with a dihydropyridine such as diethyl 2,6-dimethyl-1,4-dihydro-3,5-pyridine-dicarboxylate in the presence of silica gel. The reaction is best carried out in the presence of a nonreactive solvent such as benzene or toluene, preferably under an inert atmosphere. The reaction may be accomplished at temperatures from about 25.degree. C. up to the reflux temperature of the mixture. At the preferred temperature of approximately 80.degree. C., the reaction is essentially complete after 12-18 hours.
Other thiazolidinones may, depending on the values selected for the various substituents, be prepared in an analogous fashion. For example, compounds of formula I wherein Q is NR.sup.8 and R.sup.8 is hydrogen, C.sub.1 -C.sub.6 alkyl, C.sub.3 -C.sub.8 cycloalkyl or --(CH.sub.2).sub.n --Y where n is as defined for formula I and Y is cyano or NR.sup.11 R.sup.12 where R.sup.11 and R.sup.12 are each independently hydrogen or C.sub.1 -C.sub.6 alkyl, may be prepared by the above method as taught by Teuber et al. employing the appropriate N-substituted rhodanine and R.sup.1, R.sup.2 -substituted-4-hydroxybenzaldehyde. Alternatively, rhodanine may be used for the condensation with the aldehyde forming those species wherein Q is NR.sup.8 and R.sup.8 is hydrogen followed by alkylation or acylation with the appropriate R.sup.8 -containing halide, such as an iodide or bromide, to provide the desired N-substituted derivative of Formula I. The alkylation or acylation is usually accomplished in an inert solvent such as tetrahydrofuran (THF) or dimethylformamide (DMF) and in the presence of a strong base such as sodium hydride.
Compounds of formula I wherein Q is NR.sup.8 and R.sup.8 is --(CH.sub.2).sub.n --Y (Y is OR.sup.9 or NR.sup.11 R.sup.12, wherein R.sup.9 is hydrogen, acetyl or tosyl and R.sup.11 and R.sup.12 are each independently hydrogen or C.sub.1 -C.sub.6 alkyl) may also be prepared by the following reaction scheme: ##STR42##
A hydroxyalkyl rhodanine V is prepared by condensing carbon disulfide, chloroacetic acid, and the appropriate hydroxyalkylamine by standard techniques. When condensed with the appropriate R.sup.1,R.sup.2 -substituted-4-hydroxybenzaldehyde as described above, the resulting product is the condensed 2-thioxo-4-thiazolidinone VI which has been transformed into the acetyl derivative. The thioxo compound VI may optionally be converted to the methylene compound of formula VII as described above. The acetyl group of intermediate VII may be removed upon treatment with aqueous ammonia in a solvent such as acetonitrile to provide compound VIII (i.e., that compound of formula I wherein Q is NR.sup.8 and R.sup.8 is --(CH.sub.2).sub.n --Y where Y is OR.sup.9 and R.sup.9 is hydrogen). The hydroxy compound VIII is then converted to the tosyl derivative upon treatment with p-toluenesulfonyl chloride in pyridine, preferably at temperatures of around 0.degree. C. The versatile tosyl intermediate IX may then be transformed into additional products of the present invention upon treatment with an appropriate HNR.sup.11 R.sup.12 amine, where R.sup.11 and R.sup.12 are as stated in the preceeding paragraph. This latter transformation is best accomplished by allowing IX to react in the presence of a molar excess of the amine. Once again, a solvent such as acetonitrile is useful for accomplishing this transformation.
The corresponding 1,3-oxothiolan-5-ones may be prepared from .beta.-(3,5-di-t-butyl-4-hydroxyphenyl)-.alpha.-mercaptoacrylic acid (XI). Compound XI may be treated with carbon disulfide to prepare the thione analog (formula I, Q.dbd.--O--, R.sup.6 and R.sup.7 are.dbd.S), while reaction of XI with formic acid provides the corresponding desthione (formula I, Q.dbd.--O--, R.sup.6 and R.sup.7 are each hydrogen). Compound XI can be prepared by known methods (see, e.g., Campaigne et al., J. Org. Chem., 26, 359 (1961); id., 26, 1326 (1961); Chakrabarti, et al, Tetrahedron, 25 (14), 2781 (1969)), or upon heating Compound A with dilute aqueous base (See Example 17A).
Compounds of the present invention wherein Q is NR.sup.8 and R.sup.8 is --(CH.sub.2).sub.n --Y (n=0) and Y is NR.sup.11 R.sup.12 and R.sup.11 and R.sup.12 are as defined for formula I may be prepared according to the following reaction sequence: ##STR43##
The R.sup.11 -substituted hydrazine is treated with benzaldehyde in an alcoholic (preferably methanol) solvent to yield intermediate XII which, in turn, is reacted with the appropriate R.sup.12 -halide in the presence of triethylamine and acetonitrile to render intermediate XIII. XIII is then treated with hydrazine to render the R.sup.11,R.sup.12 -hydrazine, XIV. XIV may alternatively be prepared by the reduction of a nitroso-R.sup.11 R.sup.12 amine using zinc dust and acetic acid or aluminum and a strong base. The nitroso-R.sup.11 R.sup.12 amine itself is prepared from an R.sup.11,R.sup.12 amine as described in J. Am. Chem. Soc. 77, 790 (1955) by treatment with sodium nitrite in HCl. The resultant R.sup.11, R.sup.12 -hydrazine (XIV) is then treated with carbon disulfide, chloroacetic acid and triethylamine to yield intermediate XV. Condensation of said intermediate XV with the appropriate R.sup.1,R.sup.2 -substituted-4-hydroxybenzaldehyde (i.e., ArCHO) renders XVI. As described previously, the thione may be reduced by treatment with a reducing agent such as tri-n-butyltin hydride in a non-reactive solvent such as toluene, preferably in the presence of a free radical initiator such as azobisisobutyronitrile. Preparation of the species wherein one of R.sup.11 or R.sup.12 is hydrogen may be effected before or after reduction of the thione as desired by heating the disubstituted compound in a mixture of ethanol/water in the presence of a catalyst such as a rhodium catalyst.
Those compounds where X is ##STR44## and m is 1 or 2 are readily prepared from the sulfide (i.e., m=0) as by treatment with an oxidizing agent, such as m-chloroperbenzoic acid, in an appropriate organic solvent, such as chloroform, for a time sufficient to effect the desired oxidation.
Compounds wherein R.sup.3 is C.sub.1 -C.sub.6 alkyl are prepared by conventional Friedel-Crafts alkylation of the appropriate R.sup.1, R.sup.2 -substituted phenol, followed by condensation with rhodanine, or the desired N-substituted rhodanine, as described herein or is used as described in other reaction schemes depicted herein.
It will be readily appreciated by one skilled in the art that the aryl portion of the present compounds are either commercially available or may be readily prepared by known techniques from commercially available starting materials. For example, p-hydroxybenzaldehyde may be alkylated under Friedel-Crafts conditions to yield an alkylbenzaldehyde which in turn may itself be alkylated. Similarly, the rhodanine or N-substituted rhodanine starting material is either commercially available or may be prepared by well known methodology from commercially available starting materials.
Further, the skilled artisan will readily appreciate that the pyrrolidones described for formula III (i.e., X.sup.b .dbd.--CH.sub.2 --) which are useful in a treatment method for preventing ischemia-induced cell damage, are prepared in analogous fashion to that described herein for the thiazolidinones. That is to say, the pyrrolidones are conveniently prepared by the condensation of an appropriately substituted 2-pyrrolidone with the desired R.sup.1,R.sup.2 -substituted aryl moiety as described, for example, by Katsumi et al., Chem. Pharm. Bull. 34 (4), 1619 (1986).
Those compounds of formula I wherein one of R.sup.6 or R.sup.7 is hydrogen and the other is --OH are conveniently prepared from their respective precursors (i.e., those compounds of formula I where R.sup.6 and R.sup.7 are both hydrogen and R.sup.1, R.sup.2, R.sup.3, R.sup.4 R.sup.5, X and Q are as defined in formula I) by the treatment of the precursor with, for example, trifluoroacetic anhydride in an inert solvent (preferably methylene chloride) at reduced temperatures. Similarly, compounds of formula I where, in the definition of Q, Y is cyano are prepared by treating the non-cyanated compounds of the present invention with the desired halo-substituted aliphatic nitrile. From the cyano derivative the tetrazolyl is prepared as by treatment with tri-N-butyl tin azide in, for example, ethylene glycol dimethyl ether. Other compounds of formula I may be prepared as more fully described below from compounds whose synthesis was described generically, supra.
Depending upon the definitions of R.sup.3, R.sup.4 and R.sup.5, the compounds of formula I may exist in various isomeric forms. This invention is not related to any particular isomer but includes all possible individual isomers and racemates.
The following examples further illustrate the preparation of the compounds of this invention. The examples are illustrative only and are not intended to limit the scope of the invention in any way.

5-{[3,5-bis(1,1-dimethylethyl)-4-hydroxyphenyl]methylene}-3-(ethylmethylami no)-4-thiazolidinone
A. Preparation of nitrosomethylethylamine
70.15 g of methylethylamine was maintained at 10.degree. C. on an ice bath. To this was added 104 ml of concentrated hydrochloric acid (dropwise with stirring). The addition of the hydrochloric acid was continued at a rate which maintained the reaction temperature at about 15.degree. C. Upon completion of the acid addition, 90 g of sodium nitrite was added to the reaction in small portions. Upon dissolution of the sodium nitrite, a gas formed and the temperature of the reaction mixture dropped to about 0.degree. C. The mixture was placed in an oil bath and heated to about 70.degree. C. during completion of the sodium nitrite addition. After about 90 minutes, gas evolution had ceased and an additional 10 ml of concentrated hydrochloric acid was added generating additional gas evolution. Upon further stirring, an additional 5 ml of concentrated hydrochloric acid was added. The reaction mixture was allowed to stir overnight, with cooling, after which the resultant layers were separated. The upper layer was extracted with a 100 ml portion of diethyl ether followed by a second extraction with an additional 50 ml of diethyl ether. The extracts were combined and evaporated on a steam bath to yield 26.8 g of the desired subtitled intermediate.
B. Preparation of N,N-methylethylhydrazine
To a stirred mixture of 46.75 g nitrosomethylethylamine, 588 ml of water and 133.9 g of zinc dust was added (dropwise) 159 ml of acetic acid. The addition was completed over approximately two hours, and the reaction mixture was maintained at 25.degree.-30.degree. C. The reaction mixture was then heated to about 90.degree. C., allowed to cool after about 30 minutes to 60.degree. C., allowed to cool to room temperature and then filtered. The aqueous filtrate was then cooled in an ice bath and adjusted to pH 11 with 50% sodium hydroxide. A white precipitate formed which made additional stirring difficult. The white suspension was filtered and washed with two portions of water. The original filtrate and the first wash were combined for distillation. The mixture was heated and various fractions collected over a temperature range of about 67.degree. C. to 99.degree. C., each of which contained the desired subtitled intermediate.
C. Preparation of S-carboxymethyl-N'-dithiocarboxy N-methyl-N-ethylhydrazine
N,N-Methylethylhydrazine (13.3 g) and 20 ml of ethanol were cooled in an ice/water bath. To this was added a mixture of 4.69 ml of carbon disulfide and 15.6 ml of diethyl ether, dropwise, with stirring over a period of about 13 minutes. The resultant yellow solution was stirred for an additional 15 minutes at 0.degree. C. and then removed from the ice bath. Additional diethyl ether was added to induce the formation of a precipitate. When the total volume reached 125 ml (due to addition of diethyl ether) two layers had formed. Within about 10 minutes the oily lower layer began to crystallize and the reaction mixture was allowed to stand at room temperature overnight. The reaction mixture was then maintained at 5.degree. C. for two hours prior to filtering. The mixture was filtered, washed with diethyl ether, dried under vacuum at room temperature for three hours and then added to a stirred, cooled (4.degree. C.) mixture of 5.66 g of chloroacetic acid in 12 ml of 5N sodium hydroxide. The reaction mixture was then removed from the ice bath, allowed to warm to room temperature with stirring for 45 minutes, and then added over a period of about 2 minutes to 31.2 ml of 6N hydrochloric acid heated to 85.degree. C. The mixture was warmed to 90.degree. C. over approximately 10 minutes and allowed to cool while stirring to room temperature overnight. A precipitate formed which was filtered, washed lightly with cold water and allowed to air dry for about 15 minutes. The precipitate was then dried under vacuum at 80.degree. C. for three days to yield 4.64 g of the desired subtitled intermediate. The filtrate was stirred at room temperature for 3 days and additional precipitate formed which was subsequently filtered, washed lightly with water and dried under vacuum at 80.degree. C. for 24 hours to yield an additional 1.76 g of the desired subtitled intermediate.
D. Preparation of 5-{[3,5-bis(1,1-dimethylethyl)-4-hydroxyphenyl]methylene}-3-(ethylmethylam ino)-2-thioxo-4-thiazolidinone
Under nitrogen atmosphere, 6.40 g of the intermediate prepared in Example 40C, 154 ml of acetic acid and 8.82 g of sodium acetate were stirred for 10 minutes. 7.2 g of 3,5-bis(1,1-dimethylethyl)-4-hydroxybenzaldehyde was added and the resultant mixture was heated at reflux temperature for 23 hours and poured into a 400 ml mixture of ice/water with stirring. The resultant mixture was stirred for an additional 20 minutes, filtered and washed with a volume of water to give the desired subtitled intermediate. This intermediate was dried under vacuum at 100.degree. C. for three days, after which it was dissolved in 45 ml of ethanol on a steam bath and diluted with water dropwise while stirring until cloudiness persisted. This mixture was then stirred for an additional five minutes, allowed to cool to room temperature overnight and dried under vacuum at 80.degree. C. for four hours to render 6.99 g of the desired subtitled intermediate.
E. Preparation of 5-{[3,5-bis(1,1-dimethylethyl)-4-hydroxyphenyl]methylene}-3-(ethylmethylam ino)-4-thiazolidinone
7.02 g of 5-{[3,5-bis(1,1-dimethylethyl)-4-hydroxyphenyl]methylene}-3-(ethylmethylam ino)-2-thioxo-4-thiazolidinone (from Example 40D) and 86.3 ml of toluene were stirred and heated to 60.degree. C. under a nitrogen atmosphere. To this was added 18.6 ml of tri-n-butyl tin hydride and 0.43 g of AIBN. The resultant mixture was heated to reflux temperature for 30 minutes. At that time an additional 0.43 g of AIBN was added. The resultant mixture was heated at reflux temperature for an additional 30 minutes, cooled and transferred to a separatory funnel. To this was added 100 ml of 1N hydrochloric acid and 100 ml of ethyl acetate. The resultant mixture was shaken and separated. The organic layer was washed with brine, dried over sodium sulfate, filtered, evaporated and subsequently chased with chloroform to give an orange/red oil which was taken up in 50 ml of chloroform and filtered. The filtrate was chromatographed on a silica gel column using an 8000 ml gradient of 10-40% ethyl acetate in hexane. Those fractions identified as containing product were evaporated and chased with chloroform. To these fractions were added 15 ml of hexane and the resultant solution was heated slightly. A precipitate formed which was diluted to about 25 ml with additional hexane. The resultant mixture was triturated for about 2 hours, filtered and then washed with hexane to yield 1.94 g of the desired product, m.p. 133.5.degree.-135.degree. C.

As noted previously, the compounds of the present invention are physiologically active as demonstrated in the following test systems.
Carrageenin Assay
The compounds were evaluated for antiinflammatory activity in the test method described by C. A. Winter, Proc. Soc. Exp. Biol. Med., 111, 544 (1962). In this test, inflammation is created by injecting carrageenin into the hind paws of rats. Test compounds are administered prior to injection to determine percent inhibition of the subsequent inflammation in comparison with control animals. The results are reported in Table I.
Collagen-Induced Arthritis Assay
Type II collagen was isolated from bovine articular cartilage by the method of Strawich and Nimni [Biochemistry, 10, 3905 (1971)]. The collagen was dissolved in 0.1M acetic acid and stored at -20.degree. C. Type II collagen solution was diluted to 2 mg/ml concentration and emulsified thoroughly with an equal volume of incomplete Freund's adjuvant (ICFA). The emulsion containing approximately 0.5 mg of collagen was injected intradermally on day 0 to groups of 6 inbred Lewis male rats (Charles River Breeders; 170-200 g) at various sites in the dorsal area. The hindpaw volumes of each rat were measured and recorded three times a week throughout the test period to assess the inflammatory reaction. The test group animals received compounds under test as suspensions in carboxymethylcellulose vehicle, by oral garage, 5 days per week (Monday-Friday), beginning on day 1. Control animals received vehicle without a test compound. At the end of the test (day 28 or 30), the blood of these animals was drawn by cardiac puncture and the serum anti-type II collagen antibody levels were estimated by passive hemagglutination technique, using glutaraldehyde treated sheep red cells, to which type II collagen is conjugated [Avrameas et al., Immunochemistry, 6, 67 (1969); Andriopoulos et al., Arth. Rheum., 19, 613 (1976)]. The cellular response or delayed-type hypersensitivity response to type II collagen was measured by the radiometric ear index assay [Kostiala, Immunology, 33, 561 (1977)]. In certain experiments, the bone damage occurring because of immunization with type II collagen and the effects of drugs were determined from the radiographs of the hindpaws of two or three representative animals from each group. Injections of ICFA without collagen II were employed in some rats as a negative control; these rats received only carboxymethylcellulose vehicle during the test.
The results of testing the compounds of the present invention in the collagen-induced arthritis system are summarized in Table II. The % inhibition was calculated according to the following formula: ##EQU1## where Vt is the hindpaw volume of a compound-treated animal (test group), Vc is the hindpaw volume of a non-compound-treated animal (carboxymethylcellulose vehicle only-the control group), and Vv is the hindpaw volume of a vehicle (carboxymethylcellulose) treated animal which received ICFA with no collagen II (negative control group).
Developing Adjuvant-Induced Arthritis Test in Rats
Compounds were tested for their ability to alter hind paw swelling and bone damage resulting from adjuvant-induced edema in rats. In order to quantitate the inhibition of hind paw swelling resulting from adjuvant-induced arthritis, two phases of inflammation have been defined: (1) the primary and secondary injected hind paw, and (2) the secondary uninjected hind paw, which generally begins developing about eleven days from the induction of inflammation in the injected paw. Reduction of the latter type of inflammation is an indication of immunosuppressive activity. Cf. Chang, Arth. Rheum., 20, 1135-1141 (1977).
Adjuvant arthritis was induced in male Lewis-Wistar rats (200-210 grams) by a single subplantar injection into the right hind paw of 0.1 ml of a 0.5% suspension of heat-killed, lyophilized Mycobacterium tuberculosis (Calbiochem-Perrigen-C) in mineral oil (a modification of a method reported by Winter et al., Arth. Rheum., 9, 394-397 (1966)). One group of 10 rats ("TB control") received only this treatment. Another group of 5 rats received no treatment (normal control). Each compound to be tested was suspended in carboxymethylcellulose (1%) and administered p.o. to rats (groups of 5 each) in daily doses of 50 mg/kg beginning on day one and continuing through the 28th day after the adjuvant injection (29 doses). Paw volumes were measured by mercury displacement using a Statham pressure transducer and digital voltmeter. Volumes of both the injected and the uninjected hind paws were measured on days 16, 18, 21, 23, 25, 28, and 30. X-ray photos were taken on day 30, after the animals were sacrificed. The paw volume measurements on the uninjected paw beginning with day 16 through day 30 were computer plotted for the TB controls, the normal controls, and the drug-treated animals, and the areas under the curves [(TB controls minus normal controls) and (treated animals minus normal controls)] were determined. The results are summarized in Table III.
Lipoidal Amine-Induced Arthritis Assay
Compounds were tested for their ability to alter hind paw swelling in rats having lipoidal amine-induced arthritis. Lipoidal amine-induced arthritis was induced in Male Lewis rats (Sprague Dawley; 200-220 g) in the following manner. The test animals were divided into groups of 5 and housed in hanging cages with food and water ad libitum. On the first test day each rat is injected with 75 mg of lipoidal amine subcutaneously at the base of the tail. On the tenth day after lipoidal amine administration, each animal is weighed and test compound administration is started.
Each compound to be tested was suspended in carboxymethylcellulose (1%) and administered p.o. to the test animals in daily doses for five days (days 10-14). No dosing occurred on the fifteenth day. On day sixteen the animals were weighed again and hind paw volumes were measured using a water manometer. The hind paw volumes obtained were then compared with the hind paw volumes obtained from control test animals (lipoidal amine arthritis induced and no test compound administered) in order to determine the percentage difference between control and test animals.
The results of testing the compounds of the present invention in the lipoidal amine-induced arthritis assay are summarized in Table IV, below. The % inhibition was calculated according to the following formula: ##EQU2## where Vt is the hindpaw volume of a compound-treated animal (test group) and Vc is the hindpaw volume of a non-compound treated animal (control group).
Compounds of Formula III have also been shown to prevent ischemia-induced neuronal cell damage as demonstrated in the following test system.
Stroke Model in Rats
Strokes were produced in rats by occluding the four arteries that supply blood to the brain according to the following procedure. Male Wistar rats were anesthetized with Metofane and placed into a stereotaxic instrument. A longitudinal incision was made on the dorsal surface of the neck. The neck muscles were reflected to expose the dorsal surface of the spinal column. The two vertebral arteries were exposed where they pass through the first cervical vertebra. Both arteries were permanently occluded by the application of electrocautery. After coagulation of the vertebral arteries, the rat was removed from the stereotaxic instrument and the surgical wound was sutured. Two longitudinal incisions were then made on the ventral surface of the neck. The two common carotid arteries were exposed and dissected free from surrounding nerves and connective tissue. An atraumatic clasp, fabricated mainly from silicon rubber tubing, was placed around each carotid artery in a manner such that the vessel was not traumatized or occluded. The surgical wounds were then closed. The atraumatic clasps were designed in such a manner that they could be tightened to occlude the carotid arteries by pulling on a small silastic thread that was allowed to protrude from the wound. Circulation to the brain through the carotids could be restored by relieving the tension on the silastic threads. After the surgery, the rats were allowed to recover for 24 hours.
On the day of testing, compounds were suspended in 2% acacia and were administered orally at various times before stroke induction. Strokes (cerebral ischemia) were induced by tightening the clasps around the carotids for a period of 30 minutes. During this time, rats in which strokes had successfully been produced lost the righting reflex and became unresponsive to stimuli. After 30 minutes of ischemia, tension on the clasps was removed and blood flow to the brain restored. Rats were again treated with compounds on the morning after the stroke. On the third day after the stroke the animals received an overdose of barbiturate anesthetic, and the brain was perfused in situ with 10% neutral, buffered formalin. After perfusion with amounts of formalin adequate to fix the brain, the brains were removed and stored in 10% formalin until histological sections could be prepared.
One of the areas of the brain that is most susceptible to ischemia induced damage both in the rat and the human is the CA.sub.1 pyramidal cell layer of the hippocampus. In animals that remain unresponsive for the 30 minute period of ischemia, the CA.sub.1 pyramidal cell layer is completely destroyed. This layer of cells was examined microscopically in histological sections prepared from the hippocampus. Brain damage was rated according to the following scale:
0=no damage, completely intact cell layer
1=mild damage, one-third of CA.sub.1 layer dead
2=moderate damage, two-thirds of CA.sub.1 layer dead
3=severe damage, complete destruction of CA.sub.1 layer
Damage in 10-12 sections from each brain was assessed in order to obtain an accurate estimate of damage. An average damage score was calculated for each treatment group. Scores from treated groups were compared statistically with scores from control groups which received only the vehicle (2% acacia) that was used to suspend the compounds. The level of significance was determined using Student's "t-test". Results are summarized in Table V.
Compounds of Formula IV have also been shown to prolong the lifespan of dystrophic mammals as demonstrated in the following test system.
Muscular Dystrophy Animal Model
Dystrophic mice (dy/dy) were obtained from Jackson Laboratories after weaning (approximately 21 days) and treatment with the compounds shown in Table VI was begun at the first sign of dystrophy. The compounds that were tested were administered in the diet and lifespan was measured during the course of treatment. The food and water sources were located in different parts of the cage requiring the animals to walk from the food source to the water source to survive. The results are shown in Table VI.
As noted above, the compounds of the present invention are physiologically active thereby lending themselves to valuable therapeutic methods as claimed herein. The methods include administering to a mammal in need thereof an effective amount of one or more compounds of the present invention sufficient for the therapeutic or prophylactic intervention desired. Such administration is accomplished by means of pharmaceutical compositions which are prepared by techniques well known in the pharmaceutical sciences. Accordingly, the present invention is also directed to pharmaceutical compositions which include at least one compound described herein in association with one or more pharmaceutically acceptable diluents, excipients or carriers.
In making the pharmaceutical compositions of the present invention, one or more active ingredients will usually be mixed with a carrier, or diluted by a carrier, or enclosed within a carrier which may be in the form of a capsule, sachet, paper or other container. When the carrier serves as a diluent, it may be a solid, semi-solid or liquid material which acts as a vehicle, excipient or medium for the active ingredient. Thus, the compositions can be in the form of tablets, pills, powders, lozenges, sachets, cachets, elixirs, suspensions, emulsions, solutions, syrups, aerosols (as a solid or in a liquid medium), ointments containing for example up to 10% by weight of the active compound, soft and hard gelatin capsules, suppositories, sterile injectable solutions and sterile packaged powders.
Some examples of suitable carriers, excipients, and diluents include lactose, dextrose, sucrose, sorbitol, mannitol, starches, gum acacia, calcium phosphate, alginates, tragacanth, gelatin, calcium silicate, microcrystalline cellulose, polyvinylpyrrolidone, cellulose, water, syrup, methylcellulose, methyl- and propylhydroxybenzoates, talc, magnesium stearate and mineral oil. The formulations can additionally include lubricating agents, wetting agents, emulsifying and suspending agents, preserving agents, sweetening agents or flavoring agents. The compositions of the invention may be formulated so as to provide rapid, sustained or delayed release of the active ingredient after administration to the patient by employing procedures well known in the art.
The compositions are formulated, preferably in a unit dosage form, such that each dosage contains from about 5 to about 500 mg, more usually about 25 to about 300 mg, of the active ingredient. The term "unit dosage form" refers to physically discrete units suitable as unitary dosages for human subjects and other mammals, each unit containing a predetermined quantity of active material calculated to produce the desired therapeutic effect, in association with one or more suitable pharmaceutical diluents, excipients or carriers.
The compounds of the present invention are effective over a wide dosage range for the indications for which they are administered. Thus, as used herein, the term "effective amount" refers to a dosage range of from about 0.5 to about 200 mg/kg of body weight per day. In the treatment of adult humans, the range of about 1 to about 50 mg/kg, in single or divided doses, is preferred. However, it will be understood that the amount of the compound actually administered will be determined by a physician, in the light of the relevant circumstances including the condition to be treated, the choice of compound to be administered, the chosen route of administration, the age, weight, and response of the individual patient, and the severity of the patient's symptoms, and therefore the above dosage ranges are not intended to limit the scope of the invention in any way.
