The compounds of the formula I have basic or, where R.sub.3 and/or X.sub.3 is substituted by carboxyl, amphoteric characteristics and can accordingly form acid addition salts and, where appropriate, inner salts.

Acid addition salts of compounds of the formula I are, for example, their pharmaceutically utilisable salts with suitable mineral acids such as hydrohalic acids, sulfuric acid or phosphoric acid, for example hydrochlorides, hydrobromides, sulfates, hydrogensulfates or phosphates, or salts with suitable aliphatic or aromatic sulfonic acids or N-substituted sulfamic acids, for example methanesulfonates, benzenesulfonates, p-toluenesulfonates or N-cyclohexylsulfamates (cyclamates).

It is also possible to use pharmaceutically unsuitable salts for isolation or purification. Only the pharmaceutically utilisable non-toxic salts are used therapeutically and they are therefore preferred.

The compounds prepared according to the invention have valuable pharmacological properties. In particular, they show a pronounced antagonistic action against substance P and display the spectrum of properties typical of substance P antagonists. Thus, the compounds of the formula I and their pharmaceutically utilisable salts completely inhibit in vitro the binding of .sup.3 H-substance P to the bovine retina in the radioreceptor assay of H. Bittiger, Ciba Foundation Symposium 91,196-199 (1982) in concentrations from about 10 .mu.-mol/L. In vivo, they inhibit, from a dose of about 0.01 mg/kg i.v., the vasodilatation induced by substance P, measured on the guinea pig ear based on the experimental design of Andrews and Helme, Regul. Pept. 25, 267-275 (1989) and, from a dose of about 1.0 mg/kg i.v., based on the experimental design of Lundberg et al, Proc. Nat. Acad. Sci. (U.S.A.) 80, 1120-1124 vagally induced bronchospasms in the guinea pig, which indicates their suitability for the treatment of asthma. Their utilisability for the treatment of disorders of the central nervous system is indicated, for example, by their inhibitory effect on the change in behaviour induced by icv-applied substance P methyl ester in the gerbil according to A. Vassout et al., Meeting on Substance P, Worcester, Mass. (1990) with an ED.sub.50 from about 10 mg/kg s.c., from about 30 mg/kg i.p. and from about 100 mg/kg p.o.

Substance P is a naturally occurring undecapeptide of the tachykinin family. It is produced in the mammalian body and acts pharmacologically as neuropeptide. Substance P plays an essential role in various disorders, for example in conditions of pain, in migraine and in some disorders of the central nervous system, such as in anxiety states, schizophrenia and depression, as well as in certain movement disorders, such as in Parkinson's disease, but also in inflammatory disorders such as in rheumatoid arthritis, iritis and conjunctivitis, in disorders of the respiratory organs such as in asthma and chronic bronchitis, in disorders of the gastrointestinal system, such as in ulcerative colitis and Crohn's disease, and in hypertension.

There has therefore been no lack of attempts to develop substance P antagonists. However, a series of the substance P antagonists disclosed to date are peptidic compounds which are too metabolically labile to be employed as pharmaceutically active substances.

The substance P antagonists, prepared according to the invention, of the formula I and their pharmaceutically utilisable salts are, by contrast, metabolically stable and accordingly outstandingly suitable for the therapeutic treatment of the said disorders.

In these compounds, R.sub.2 preferably has the meaning indicated for the compounds of the formula I, above all the meaning indicated for especially preferred compounds of formula I.

The invention most preferably relates to those compounds of formula X, wherein R.sub.1 denotes benzoyl, benzoyl mono- or disubstituted by C.sub.1 -C.sub.4 -alkyl, such as methyl, C.sub.1 -C.sub.4 -alkoxy, such as methoxy, halogen of atomic number up to and including 35, such as chloro, and/or trifluoromethyl or unsubstituted naphthoyl, R.sub.2 represents phenyl or phenyl mono- or disubstituted by halogen of atomic number up to and including 35, such as chloro, and/or trifluoromethyl, X.sub.1 denotes hydroxymethylene and Y.sub.6 and Y.sub.7 together represent oxo, and to their salts.

The invention specifically relates to the compounds or formula X described in the Examples herein and to their salts.

The compounds of formula X according to invention in which R.sub.1 and R.sub.2 have the meanings indicated, X.sub.1 denotes hydroxymethylene and Y.sub.6 and Y.sub.7 together represent oxo, and their salts are prepared by methods known per se. The process for their manufacture is characterised in that a compound of the formula Xa ##STR21## is condensated with an agent suitable to introduce the group R.sub.1 and, if required, a resulting compound is converted into another compound of the formula I, a mixture of isomers which can be obtained according to the process is fractionated into the components, and the isomer preferred in each case is separated off and/or a free compound which can be obtained according to the process is convened into a salt, or a salt which can be obtained according to the process is convened into the corresponding free compound.

Agents suitable to introduce the group R.sub.1 are, for example, compounds of the formula R.sub.1 -Y.sub.10 (Xb) in which Y.sub.10 denotes reactive esterified hydroxy, such as halogen or a sulfonyloxy group, for example, benzene-, p-toluene- or methansulfonyloxy, or if R.sub.1 denotes an aroyl-, heteroaroyl-, cycloalkylcarbonyl-, aralkanoyl-, heteroarylalkanoyl-, aralkoxycarbonyl- or arylcarbamoylrest or the acyl moiety of an .alpha.-amino acid which may be N-substituted by lower alkanoyl or carbamoyl-lower alkanoyl, is etherified hydroxy, such as lower alkoxy or phenyloxy which may be substituted by halogen and/or nitro.

The condensation is performed in a manner, for example, in the presence of a basic condensation adjuvan, such as in the presence of an alkalimetall hydrogencarbonate, for example, of Sudium hydrogencarbonate, preferably in a water-containing bi-phasic system, for example, in methylenechloride/water.

Compounds of formula Xa con, in turn, be obtained by reacting a N-protected piperidin-4-one ketal, such as 1-(tert.-butyloxycarbonyl)piperindin-4-one ethyleneketal, with an aldehyd of the formula R.sub.2 --CH.dbd.O (Xc), for example in the presence of a hydorcarbon-metal, such as a hydorocarbon alkalimetal derivative, preferably of a lower-alkyl lithium compound, such as of sec.-butyl lithium, preferably in an etheric solvent, such as diethyl ether, at -30.degree. to -80.degree. C., for example at -60.degree. to -75.degree. C.

Compounds of formula X, wherein Y.sub.6 denotes a group of the formula --N(R.sub.3)--H and Y.sub.7 denotes hydrogen, are, for example, prepared by condensing a compound of the formula R.sub.2 --X.sub.1 --Y (Xd) in which Y is reactive esterified hydroxyl, such as halogen, lower alkanesulfonyloxy or optionally substituted benzenesulfonyloxy, in the presence of an alkali metal lower alkanolate such as sodium methanolate, in a lower alkanol such as methanol, or in the presence of sodamide in toluene with a lower alkyl but-2-ene-1, 1-dicarboxylate of the formula CH.sub.2 .dbd.CH--CH.sub.2 --CH(COOR).sub.2 (Xe; R=lower alkyl), hydrolysing and decarboxylating the reaction product of the formula Xf ##STR22## by treatment with an alkali metal hydroxide, for example with potassium hydroxide in aqueous methanol, amidating the resulting acid of the formula Xg ##STR23## for example by treatment with a halogenating agent such as oxalyl chloride or thionyl chloride followed by reaction with ammonia, and subsequently degrading to the corresponding amine of the formula Xh ##STR24## condensing the latter, after protection of the amino group, for example by acylation, with a lower alkoxymethyl halide of the formula RO--CH.sub.2 --Hal (Xf; R=lower alkyl; Hal=halogen), for example with chlorodimethyl ether in the presence of sodium hydroxide in dichloromethane/water, cyclocondensing the reaction product of the formula Xi ##STR25## by acid treatment, for example treatment with a Lewis acid such as tin tetrachloride, iron-III chloride, titanium tetrachloride, or protic acid such as sulfuric acid, chlorosulfonic acid, p-toluenesulfonic acid or trifluoromethyl acetic acid or -methanesulfonic acid, in acetonitrile and, if required, acetic anhydride and another solvent such as dichloromethane, benzene or toluene, to the corresponding N-protected compound of the formula Xj ##STR26## eliminating the amino-protective group, if required fractionating a resulting racemate into the enantiomers, introducing the group R.sub.1 in a conventional way, for example, as described hereinbefore for the manufacture of compounds of formula X, wherein X.sub.1 denotes hydroxymethylene and Y.sub.6 eliminating the amino-protecting group by acid treatment, for example with 6N hydrochloric acid.

Compounds obtainable according to the process can be converted in a conventional way into other compounds of the formula I.

Thus, in compounds of the formula I in which X.sub.1 is carbonyl can be reduced in a conventional manner to the corresponding compounds of the formula I in which X.sub.1 is hydroxymethylene, for example as described under process variant c) or for the preparation of intermediates of the formulae V and VI. It is also possible in an analogous way for resulting compounds of the formula I in which X.sub.1 is hydroxymethylene or X.sub.2 and/or X.sub.3 is carbonyl can be reduced to the corresponding compounds of the formula I in which X.sub.1, X.sub.2 and/or X.sub.3 is methylene.

The carbonyl group in resulting compounds of the formula I in which X.sub.1 is ketalised carbonyl can be liberated in a conventional way, for example by acid treatment. Conversely, carbonyl X.sub.1 can be ketalised by reaction with an appropriate alcohol such as a lower alkanol or a lower alkanediol.

It is furthermore possible in resulting compounds of the formula I in which R.sub.3 is hydrogen to introduce a radical R.sub.3 different from hydrogen, alkyl for example by conventional alkylation, carbamoyl for example by condensation with isocyanic acid or a carbamoyl halide and alkanoyl or alkenoyl optionally substituted as indicated by conventional acylation. Conversely, in resulting compounds of the formula I in which R.sub.3 is alkyl, especially methyl, the alkyl group can be eliminated by treatment with an ester, such as methylester, of haloformic acid.

Furthermore, esterified or amidated carboxyl as substituent of alkanoyl or alkenoyl R.sub.3 or of alkylene X.sub.3 in resulting compounds of the formula I can be hydrolysed to carboxyl or, conversely, free carboxyl can be esterified or amidated.

Resulting salts can be converted in a manner known per se into the free compounds, for example by treatment with a base such as an alkali metal hydroxide, a metal carbonate or bicarbonate, or ammonia, or with another salt-forming base mentioned in the introduction, or with an acid such as a mineral acid, for example with hydrogen chloride, or with another salt-forming acid mentioned in the introduction.

Resulting salts can be convened in a manner known per se into other salts, acid addition salts for example by treatment with a suitable metal such as a sodium, barium or silver salt, of another acid in a suitable solvent in which an inorganic salt which forms is insoluble and thus separates out of the reaction mixture, and base salts by liberation of the free acid and renewed salt formation.

The compounds of the formula I, including their salts, can also be obtained in the form of hydrates or include the solvent used for crystallisation.

As a consequence of the close relation between the novel compounds in free form and in the form of their salts, hereinbefore and hereinafter the free compounds and their salts also mean, where appropriate for the sense and purpose, the corresponding salts and free compounds respectively.

Resulting mixtures of diastereomers and mixtures of racemates can also be fractionated on the basis of the physicochemical differences of the components in a known manner into the pure diastereomers and racemates respectively, for example by chromatography and/or fractional crystallisation.

Resulting racemates can furthermore be separated by known methods into the optical antipodes, for example by recrystallisation from an optically active solvent, with the aid of microorganisms or by converting the resulting mixture of diastereomers or racemate with an optically active auxiliary compound, for example appropriate for the acidic, basic or functionally modifiable groups contained in compounds of the formula I with an optically active acid, base or an optically active alcohol, into mixtures of diastereomeric salts or functional derivatives such as esters, separation thereof into the diastereomers from which the enantiomer required in each case can be liberated in the way conventional in each case. Examples of bases, acids and alcohols suitable therefore are optically active alkaloid bases such as strychnine, cinchonine or brucine, or D- or L-(1-phenyl)ethylamine, 3-pipecoline, ephedrine, amphetamine and similar bases obtainable by synthesis, optically active carboxylic or sulfonic acids such as quinic acid or D- or L-tartaric acid, D- or L-di-o-toluyltartaric acid, D- or L-malic acid, D- or L-mandelic acid, or D- or L-camphorsulfonic acid, or optically active alcohols such as borneol or L- or L-(1-phenyl)ethanol.

The invention also relates to those embodiments of the process which start from a compound obtainable as intermediate at any stage of the process and in which the missing steps are carried out or a starting material is used in the form of a salt or, in particular, forms under the reaction conditions.

The invention likewise relates to the novel starting materials which have been specifically developed for the preparation of the compounds according to the invention, in particular the choice of starting materials leading to the compounds of the formula I which are characterised as preferred in the introduction, to the processes for the preparation thereof and to the use thereof as intermediates.

The novel compounds of the formula I can be used, for example, in the form of pharmaceutical products which contain a therapeutically effective amount of the active substance, where appropriate together with inorganic or organic, solid or liquid, pharmaceutically utilisable vehicles which are suitable for enteral, for example oral, or parenteral administration. Thus, tablets or gelatin capsules which contain the active substance together with diluents, for example lactose, dextrose, sucrose, mannitol, sorbitol, cellulose and/or lubricants, for example diatomaceous earth, talc, stearic acid or salts thereof, such as magnesium or calcium stearate, and/or polyethylene glycol, are used. Tablets can likewise contain binders, for example magnesium aluminium silicate, starches such as maize, wheat, rice or arrowroot starch, gelatine, tragacanth, methylcellulose, sodium carboxymethylcellulose and/or polyvinylpyrrolidone and, if desired, disintegrants, for example starches, agar, alginic acid or a salt thereof, for example sodium alginate, and/or effervescent mixtures, or absorbents, colorants, flavourings and sweetners. It is furthermore possible to use the novel compounds of the formula I in the form of products which can be administered parenterally or of infusion solutions. Solutions of this type are preferably isotonic aqueous solutions or suspensions, and these can, for example in the case of lyophilised products which contain the active substance alone or together with a vehicle, for example mannitol, be prepared before use. The pharmaceutical products can be sterilised and/or contain ancillary substances, for example preservatives, stabilisers, wetting agents and/or emulsifiers, solubilisers, salts to regulate the osmotic pressure and/or buffers. The present pharmaceutical products, which can, if required, contain further pharmacologically active substances, are prepared in a manner known per se, for example by conventional mixing, granulating, coating, dissolving or lyophilising processes, and contain from about 0.1% to 100%, in particular from about 1% to about 50%, lyophilisates up to about 100% of the active substance.

The invention likewise relates to the use of the compounds of the formula I, preferably in the form of pharmaceutical products. The dosage may depend on a variety of factors such as mode of administration, species, age and/or individual condition. The doses to be administered each day are an oral administration of between about 0.25 and about 10 mg/kg and, for warm-blooded animals with a body weight of about 70 kg, preferably between about 20 mg and about 500 mg.

The following examples serve to illustrate the invention; temperatures are indicated in degrees celsius, pressures in mbar.
