BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION
1. Field of the Invention
The present invention relates to novel pyrimidine derivatives having an aryl group at the 1-position and methods for treating allergic disorders therewith, particularly, methods for treating inflammatory allergic disorders such as asthma, dermatitis, rhinitis and the like, or graft-versus-host disease (GVHD) which occurs at organ transplantation.
2. Description of the Prior Art
Allergy is classified in four types I to IV. It is believed that so-called allergic disorders are mainly due to types I and IV. Atopic dermatitis has heretofore been believed to be an allergic disorder that is mainly due to type I allergy. However, in recent studies, it has been reported that atopic dermatitis is a disorder that is due to allergies of both types I and IV and in which the contribution of type IV is greater than that of type I. Type I allergy is called humoral immunity whereas type IV allergy is called cellular immunity. The mechanism of action is very different in the two types (Protein.Nucleic Acid.Enzyme, 36, 839-847 (1991)). In particular, there is a large difference in T cells that partake in their immunological mechanisms. Th.sub.2 cells play an important role in the type I allergy whereas Th.sub.1 cells do in the type IV allergy (J. Immunology, 138, 3688-3694 (1987)). In fact, commercially available therapeutic agents for type I allergy (e.g., anti-histamines, etc.) are not very effective against atopic dermatitis in clinical practice whereas steroid agents that exhibit effect on allergies of both types I and IV are clinically effective. Furthermore, it can be understood from the clinical effect of immunosuppresive agents (e.g., cyclosporine, FK-506, etc.) which are type IV allergy-inhibiting agents that type IV allergy is the main cause of atopic dermatitis. In other allergic disorders, for example, asthma, the cause of its initial onset is type I allergy but the subsequently occurring inflammation of the airway which may cause chronicity or incurability of asthma is due to type IV allergy (Allergy, 37, 12-18 (1988)). In addition, it has been experimentally found that type IV allergy can induce asthma and it has been reported that cyclosporine and the like are effective in the treatment of asthma (Amer. Rev. Resir. Dis., 144, 931-938 (1991); Allergy, 39, 482-487 (1990); and Allergy, 39, 605-609 (1990)). In the treatment of asthma, anti-type I allergic agents such as anti-histamines are administered only supplementally in mild cases and steroid agents are mainly used in the present situation.
For the aforementioned reasons, steroid agents that are effective against allergies of both types I and IV are administered in combination in the case of allergic disorders of a mixed type or those in which the contribution of type IV allergy is predominant. However, as is well known, clinically effective steroid agents cause various side-effects such as infectious diseases, adrenal retraction, osteoporosis, psychiatric disorders, diabetes and the like and are therefore unsuitable for long term or continuous administration. Hence, non-steroid compounds which are effective against both types I and IV can potentially be good therapeutic agents for a wide variety of allergic disorders and their development is desired.
There have been suggested several non-steroid compounds that are effective against allergic disorders. For example, the applicant has already proposed pyrimidine derivatives that are composed of a pyrimidine ring and a phenyl group, wherein the pyrimidine ring is substituted with various hydrocarbon groups at the 3- and 1-positioned nitrogen atoms and the phenyl group has lower alkyl substituents at the 3- and 5-positions and a hydroxy group at the 4-position, as disclosed in Japanese Patent Laid-Open Publication No. 5-194424; and uracil derivatives which are composed of an uracil ring and a phenyl group, wherein the uracil ring is substituted with various hydrocarbon groups at the 3- and 1-positioned nitrogen atoms and the phenyl group has lower alkyl substituents at the 3- and 5-positions and a hydroxy group at the 4-position, as disclosed in Japanese Patent Laid-Open Publication No. 6-135943.
Nevertheless, the development of novel non-steroid compounds having a better effect as therapeutic agents for allergic disorders of I and IV mixed type or those in which the contribution of type IV allergy is predominant is still desired strongly. In particular, there is a great demand for non-steroid compounds that can be administered orally and which are more suitable for long-term or continuous administration in the treatment of chronic allergic disorders such as atopic dermatitis, asthma and the like.
OBJECTS AND SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION
An object of the present invention is to solve the aforementioned problems. In other words, an object of the present invention is to provide novel therapeutic agents for allergy which are effective against allergies of both types I and IV, particularly, to provide non-steroid, low molecular weight compounds that can be administered orally and which are more suitable for long term or continuous administration.

The 6-(substituted amino)-5-aminouracil derivatives represented by the general formula (XXIII) can be reacted with the acid chloride to prepare the 1-aryluracil derivatives of the present invention as represented by the general formula (Ia) in which the amino group substituent at the 5-position of the uracil ring is acylated.

The acylation reaction is preferably conducted using a solvent that will not readily react with the acid chloride, for example, a halogenated hydrocarbon solvent such as chloroform, dichloromethane or the like, an aromatic hydrocarbon solvent such as toluene or the like, or N,N-dimethylformamide or the like. Reaction temperature is desirably selected from between room temperature and the reflux temperature of the solvent.

REFERENCE EXAMPLE 1
Preparation of 5,6-diamino-3-methyl-1-phenyluracil
N-Methyl-N'-phenylurea was preliminarily prepared from phenyl isocyanate and methylamine by the procedure described in Step 1. Using the urea compound as the starting material, uracil ring was formed by the procedure described in Step 2. N-Methyl-N'-phenylurea (30 g, 0.2M) and cyanoacetic acid (18.8 g, 0.22M) were dissolved in 400 ml of a solvent, acetic anhydride, and heated at 80.degree. C. for 2 hours. The solvent acetic anhydride was distilled off under reduced pressure and 200 ml of water was added to the residue, followed by cooling with ice. A 2N aqueous solution of NaOH (220 ml) was then added and the mixture was stirred for 2 hours. A precipitated solid product was obtained by filtration. The solid product was washed successively with water and methanol and dried to yield 6-amino-3-methyl-1-phenyluracil (yield: 33 g, or 76% based on N-methyl-N'-phenylurea).
The obtained 6-amino-3-methyl-1-phenyluracil (24 g, 0.11M) and NaOH (2.8 g, 70 mM) were dissolved in 110 ml of water. To the resulting solution was added dropwise an aqueous solution of sodium nitrite (9.5 g/80 ml). Acetic acid (13 ml) was then added dropwise at 0.degree. C. and the mixture was brought to room temperature, followed by stirring for 2 hours. A precipitated solid product was obtained by filtration. The solid product was washed successively with water and methanol and dried to yield 6-amino-3-methyl-5-nitroso-1-phenyluracil (yield: 27 g, or 99% based on 6-amino-3-methyl-1-phenyluracil).
The obtained 6-amino-3-methyl-5-nitroso-1-phenyluracil (0.25 g) and 5% Pd/C (20 mg) were added to 50 ml of methanol and purging with hydrogen gas was performed, followed by stirring at 70.degree. C. for 2.5 hours. The reaction mixture was filtered while hot to give a filtrate. The solvent methanol was distilled off from the filtrate to yield 5,6-diamino-3-methyl-1-phenyluracil (yield: 0.2 g, or 86% based on 6-amino-3-methyl-5-nitroso-1-phenyluracil).
REFERENCE EXAMPLE 2
Preparation of 5-amino-3-methyl-6-methylamino-1-phenyluracil
6-Amino-3-methyl-1-phenyluracil as obtained in Reference Example 1 (8.7 g, 40 mM) was dissolved in 80 ml of acetic acid and hydrochloric acid (16 ml) was added, followed by heating at 100.degree. C. for 1 hour. The solvent acetic acid was then distilled off under reduced pressure and water war added to the residue. The pH of the resulting solution was adjusted to 1 by adding hydrochloric acid and a product was extracted with dichloromethane. After the solvent dichloromethane was distilled off under reduced pressure from the dichloromethane layer, crystallization with ethanol was performed to give 6-hydroxy-3-methyl-1-phenyluracil (yield: 5.9 g, or 68% based on 6-amino-3-methyl-1-phenyluracil).
To the obtained 6-hydroxy-3-methyl-1-phenyluracil (12.2 g, 56 mM) was added phosphorus oxychloride (phosphoryl chloride, 167 ml, 2M) under cooling with ice and 3.4 ml of water was then added dropwise. The solution was heated gradually and maintained at 110.degree. C. for 2 hours. The solvent was distilled off under reduced pressure. A product was obtained by crystallization with water and recovered by filtration to yield 6-chloro-3-methyl-1-phenyluracil (yield: 9.55 g, or 72% based on 6-hydroxy-3-methyl-1-phenyluracil).
The obtained 6-chloro-3-methyl-1-phenyluracil (4.26 g, 18 mM) was added to 100 ml of 2-propanol. A 40% aqueous solution of methylamine (17 g, 0.22M) was added to the resulting solution and the mixture was heated at 90.degree. C. for 5 hours while stirring. After being left to cool, a precipitated crystal was obtained by filtration and washed successively with ethanol and water to yield 3-methyl-6-methylamino-1-phenyluracil (yield: 3.71 g, or 89% based on 6-chloro-3-methyl-1-phenyluracil).
Thereafter, the nitrosation and reduction at the 5-position of the uracil ring were performed by the same procedure as in Reference Example 1 to yield 5-amino-3-methyl-6-methylamino-1-phenyluracil.
The 5,6-diaminouracil derivatives represented by the general formula (XXII) and the 6-(substituted amino)-5-aminouracil derivatives represented by the general formula (XXIII), which are prepared by the same procedure as in Reference Examples 1 and 2, are desirably used in Step 4 after being further purified as required.
A method of preparing the group of the 3-arylpurine derivatives of the present invention as represented by the general formula (Ib) will now be described.
Step 5 [Introduction of an amino group into the 5-position of the uracil ring]

are respectively prepared by the procedures described in Steps 1-3.
Step 6 [Formation of purine nuclear skeleton]
The amino group at the 5-position of the uracil ring was iminated by reacting the 5,6-diamino-1-(substituted or unsubstituted phenyl)uracil derivatives of the general formula (XXIV) or 5-amino-6-(mono-substituted amino)-1-(substituted or unsubstituted phenyl)uracil derivatives of the general formula (XXV) with a benzaldehyde derivative represented by general formula (XXVI):
R.sub.4 --CHO (XXVI)
wherein R.sub.4 is a substituted phenyl group represented by the general formula (III),

or general formula (XXVIII): ##STR26## wherein Ar is a substituted or unsubstituted phenyl group represented by the general formula (II), R.sub.4 is a substituted phenyl group represented by the general formula (III) and R.sub.1 and R.sub.6 are as defined above. This condensation reaction is desirably conducted using an alcohol solvent such as methanol, ethanol or the like at a reaction temperature selected from between room temperature and the reflux temperature of the solvent.
Subsequently, purine nuclear skeletons are formed by the ring closure of the benzylideneamine derivatives to prepare a group of the 3-arylpurine derivatives of the present invention as represented by the general formula (Ib). The ring closure reaction is preferably conducted using thionyl chloride at a reaction temperature selected from between room temperature and the reflux temperature of the solvent, particularly at the reflux temperature of the solvent.
In the 3-arylpurine derivatives of the present invention as represented by the general formula (Ib) which are prepared by the sequence of Steps 5 (Steps 1-3) and 6, the substituents Ar, R.sub.1, R.sub.4 and R.sub.6 are derived from raw material compounds and therefore any desired groups can be introduced. The compounds having these substituents can be identified easily and clearly by measuring mass analysis spectra, as well as .sup.1 H-NMR spectra characteristic of the substituents Ar, R.sub.1, R.sub.4 and R.sub.6 according to conventional techniques.
Preferred examples of the pharmaceutically acceptable salts of the 1-arylpyrimidine derivatives of the present invention as represented by the general formula (I) which encompass the 1-aryluracil derivatives of the general formula (Ia) and 3-arylpurine derivatives of the general formula (Ib) include salts with pharmaceutically acceptable acids. Illustrative examples of the pharmaceutically acceptable salts include hydrochlorides, sulfates, acetates, hydrobromides, phosphates, succinates, malates, fumarates, citrates, gluconates, methanesulfonates, p-toluenesulfonates and the like. When a phenolic hydroxyl group is present in the 1-aryluracil derivatives, their sodium salts or potassium salts are also preferred examples of the pharmacemutically acceptable salts.
As shown in the Experimental Examples for verifying an inhibiting effect on each of type IV and type I allergies, the 1-arylpyrimidine derivatives of the present invention which are represented by the general formula (I) exhibit good drug efficacy against both allergies of types I and IV in oral administration. Hence, these compounds can be used as effective therapeutic agents of allergic diseases, particularly type I allergy characterized by great contribution from type IV allergy and a mixed allergy of types I and IV. Specifically, they are useful as therapeutic agents for inhibiting or alleviating asthma, allergic diseases that have manifestations of inflammations such as dermatitis or rhinitis, for example, atopic dermatitis, symptoms such as bronchoconstriction accompanied by asthma, and allergic diseases such as graft-versus-host disease (GVHD) that develops after organ transplantation. Additionally, being low-molecular weight non-steroid compounds, they can be administered orally and cause no severe and diverse side effects such as infectious diseases, osteoporosis and the like as observed broadly in steroid agents and are therefore preferably used in long term administration.
When pharmaceutical compositions comprising the 1-arylpyrimidine derivative (I) of the present invention or pharmaceutically acceptable salt thereof as an active ingredient are used specifically as therapeutic agents of asthma-accompanied bronchoconstriction, atopic dermatitis, allergic diseases or graft-versus-host disease, they are administered usually in the form of oral preparations such as capsules, tablets, fine granules, granules, powders, syrups or the like, or injections. These preparations can be formulated with pharmacologically or pharmaceutically acceptable additives by conventional methods. In oral preparations, pharmaceutical additives including vehicles such as D-mannitol, lactose and starch, disintegrants such as carboxymethyl cellulose, binders such as polyvinylpyrrolidone and hydroxypropyl cellulose, lubricants such as magnesium stearate and talc can be used to yield desired dosage forms. In injections, pharmaceutical additives including solution adjuvants such as distilled water for injection and physiological saline, tonicity agents, pH modifiers can be used.
The dose of the 1-arylpyrimidine derivatives or pharmaceutically acceptable salts thereof according to the present invention should be selected as appropriate for depending the sex and age of individual patients, severity of the disease to be treated and the like. In the case of adult patients, the dose is preferably selected from the range of from about 1 to about 100 mg/kg per day for oral administration.
The 1-arylpyrimidine derivatives of the present invention have excellent biological activity for inhibiting each of type I and IV allergies. Hence, these compounds can be used as effective therapeutic agents of a wide variety of allergic diseases classified as allergies of types I and IV. Additionally, the 1-arylpyrimidine derivatives of the present invention are low-molecular weight non-steroid compounds, so they have the advantage of causing little or no side effects as observed broadly in steroid agents and, hence are suitable for use as therapeutic agents of allergic diseases in long-term and continuous administration. This advantage is particularly remarkable when they are used as therapeutic agents of type I allergy characterized by great contribution from type IV allergy and a mixed allergy of types I and IV, more specifically, as oral therapeutic agents for inhibiting or alleviating asthma, allergic diseases that have manifestations of inflammations such as dermatitis or rhinitis, for example, atopic dermatitis, symptoms such as bronchoconstriction accompanied by asthma, and allergic diseases such as graft-versus-host disease (GVHD) that develops after organ transplantation.

Inhibiting effect on a picryl chloride-induced type IV allergy
For the purpose of verifying that the 1-aryluracil derivatives (Ia) of the present invention have an inhibiting effect on type IV allergy, the inhibition of a picryl chloride-induced allergy reaction which is a model of type IV allergy was studied by the following method.
Method
The abdomen of 6-weeks old male ICR strain mice was shaven and 0.1 ml of a 7% picryl chloride solution in acetone was applied to the epithelium of the abdomen for immunization. After one week, 5 .mu.l of a 1% picryl chloride solution in olive oil was applied to both sides of the left auricula to induce an allergy reaction. A given amount of a test substance was suspended in a 0.5% CMC-Na solution and the resulting suspension was administered orally to each mouse twice, i.e., just after the induction and 16 hours after. The thickness of the left auricula was measured both before the induction and 24 hours after.
The difference between the thickness of the left auricula before the induction and the value measured 24 hours after was calculated as the increase in thickness. Using a reference group to which only a 0.5% CMC-Na solution was administered orally, a reference value for the increase in thickness was obtained. The percent inhibition was determined as 100% when the increase in thickness was zero and as 0% when the increase in thickness was equal to the reference value. On the basis of these criteria, the percent inhibition of each test substance was calculated at varying doses. Part of the results obtained in this test are shown in Table 1. In addition, the result of the administration of prednisolone as a positive control compound is shown in Table 1.
The results shown in Table 1 reveal that the 1-aryluracil derivatives (Ia) of the present invention have an inhibiting effect on a picryl chloride-induced allergy reaction. Furthermore, it can be found that their effect is comparable to that of the positive control compound, prednisolone, at the same dose. Consequently, it is clear that the 1-aryluracil derivatives (Ia) of the present invention exhibit comparable drug efficacy to prednisolone as a therapeutic agent of type IV allergy.

Inhibiting effect on a 48 hour PCA reaction
For the purpose of verifying that the 1-aryluracil derivatives (Ia) of the present invention have an inhibiting effect on type I allergy, the inhibition of a passive cutaneous anaphylaxis (PCA) reaction which is a model of type I allergy was studied by the following method.
(Test method for compound prepared in Example 22)
Eight-weeks old male Wistar strain rats were immunized by subcutaneously injecting 0.1 ml of 700-fold diluted DNP-Ascaris antiserum (titer=1:1024) at two positions on the dorsum. Forty-eight hours after the immunization, 1 ml of a 0.5% Evans blue solution containing 1 mg of DNP-Ascaris antigen was administered into a pedal vein to induce a PCA reaction. Thirty minutes after the induction, the rats were bled to death and blue circular parts appearing at the immunized positions were excised. The dye was extracted from the blue circular parts with ethyl acetate and the amount of the dye leakage was determined. A test substance was suspended in a 0.5% CMC-Na solution and administered orally to each rat at a dose of 100 mg/kg 30 minutes before the induction.
Using a reference group to which only a 0.5% CMC-Na solution was administered orally, a reference value for the amount of dye leakage was obtained. The percent inhibition was determined as 100% when the amount of dye leakage was zero and as 0% when the amount of dye leakage was equal to the reference value. On the basis of these criteria, the percent inhibition of each test substance was calculated at varying doses. Part of the results obtained in this test are shown in Table 2. In addition, the result of the administration of tranilast as a positive control compound is shown in Table 2.
The results shown in Table 2 reveal that the 1-aryluracil derivatives (Ia) of the present invention have an inhibiting effect on a PCA reaction. Furthermore, it can be found that their effect is comparable to that of the positive control compound, tranilast, at the same dose. Consequently, it is clear that the 1-aryluracil derivatives (Ia) of the present invention exhibit comparable drug efficacy to tranilast as a therapeutic agent of type I allergy.

Eight-weeks old male Wistar strain rats were immunized by subcutaneously injecting 0.05 ml of 50-fold diluted DNP-Ascaris antiserum (titer=1:64) at four positions on the dorsum. Forty-eight hours after the immunization, 1 ml of a 0.5% Evans blue solution containing 1 mg of DNP-Ascaris antigen was administered into a tail vein to induce a PCA reaction. Thirty minutes after the induction, the rats were bled to death and blue circular parts appearing at the immunized positions were excised. The dye was extracted from the blue circular parts with ethyl acetate and the amount of the dye leakage was determined. A test substance was suspended in a 0.5% CMC-Na solution and administered orally to each rat 1 hour before the induction.
Using a reference group to which only a 0.5% CMC-Na solution was administered orally, a reference value for the amount of dye leakage was obtained. The percent inhibition was determined as 100% when the amount of dye leakage was zero and as 0% when the amount of dye leakage was equal to the reference value. On the basis of these criteria, the percent inhibition of each test substance was calculated at varying doses. Part of the results obtained in this test are shown in Table 3. In addition, the result of the administration of tranilast as a positive control compound is shown in Table 3.
The results shown in Table 3 reveal that the 1-aryluracil derivatives (Ia) of the present invention have an inhibiting effect on a PCA reaction. Furthermore, it can be found that their effect is comparable to that of the positive control compound, tranilast. Consequently, it is clear that the 1-aryluracil derivatives (Ia) of the present invention exhibit comparable drug efficacy to tranilast as a therapeutic agent of type I allergy.

The results of the test for verifying the inhibiting effect on a picryl chloride-induced allergy reaction which is a model of type IV allergy and those of the test for verifying the inhibiting effect on a PCA reaction which is a model of type I allergy reveal that the 1-aryluracil derivatives (Ia) of the present invention can be used as therapeutic agents of a wide variety of allergic diseases classified as allergies of types I and IV, particularly type I allergy characterized by great contribution from type IV allergy and a mixed allergy of types I and IV. Specifically, the 1-aryluracil derivatives (Ia) of the present invention are useful as therapeutic agents for inhibiting or alleviating asthma, allergic diseases that have manifestations of inflammations such as dermatitis or rhinitis, for example, atopic dermatitis, symptoms such as bronchoconstriction accompanied by asthma, and allergic diseases such as graft-versus-host disease (GVHD) that develops after organ transplantion.
Experimental Example 1
Toxicity Test
The 1-aryluracil derivatives (Ia) of the present invention were tested for toxicity by the following method.
A test substance was suspended in a 0.5% CMC-Na solution and administered orally to 6-weeks old male SD rats once a day at a dose of 1,000 mg/kg for 2 consecutive weeks. The weight of each rat was measured both before the administration and every day during the administration. A given amount of blood was collected on the day after the end of the administration period and examined. Collected urine was also examined. In addition, organs were checked for any aberrations by autopsy.
In the cases where the compounds prepared in Examples 7 and 53 were respectively administered, no rat died during the administration period and no abnormality was observed in the weight change, blood and urine examinations and autopsy. These results suggest very low toxicity of these compounds.

Inhibiting effect on a picryl chloride-induced type IV allergy
For the purpose of verifying that the 3-arylpurine derivatives (Ib) of the present invention have an inhibiting effect on type IV allergy, the inhibition of a picryl chloride-induced allergy reaction which is a model of type IV allergy was studied by the following method.
Method
The abdomen of 6-weeks old male ICR strain mice was shaven and 0.1 ml of a 7% picryl chloride solution in acetone was applied to the epithelium of the abdomen for immunization. After one week, 5 .mu.l of a 1% picryl chloride solution in olive oil was applied to both sides of the left auricula to induce an allergy reaction. A given amount of a test substance was suspended in a 0.5% CMC-Na solution and the resulting suspension was administered orally to each mouse twice, i.e., just after the induction and 16 hours after. The thickness of the left auricula was measured both before the induction and 24 hours after.
The difference between the thickness of the left auricula before the induction and the value measured 24 hours after was calculated as the increase in thickness. Using a reference group to which only a 0.5% CMC-Na solution was administered orally, a reference value for the increase in thickness was obtained. The percent inhibition was determined as 100% when the increase in thickness was zero and as 0% when the increase in thickness was equal to the reference value. On the basis of these criteria, the percent inhibition of each test substance was calculated at varying doses. Part of the results obtained in this test are shown in Table 3. In addition, the result of the administration of asteroid agent, prednisolone, as a positive control compound is shown in Table 4.
The results shown in Table 4 reveal that the 3-arylpurine derivatives (Ib) of the present invention have an inhibiting effect on a picryl chloride-induced allergy reaction. Furthermore, it can be found that their effect is comparable to that of the positive control compound, prednisolone, at the same dose. Consequently, it is clear that the 3-arylpUrine derivatives (Ib) of the present invention exhibit comparable drug efficacy to the steroid agent, prednisolone, as a therapeutic agent of type IV allergy.

Toxicity Test
The 3-arylpurine derivatives (Ib) of the present invention were tested for toxicity by the following method.
A test substance was suspended in a 0.5% CMC-Na solution and administered orally to 6-weeks old male SD rats once a day at a dose of 1,000 mg/kg for 2 consecutive weeks. The weight of each rat was measured both before the administration and every day during the administration. A given amount of blood was collected on the day after the end of the administration period and examined. Collected urine was also examined. In addition, organs were checked for any aberrations by autopsy.
In the case where the compound prepared in Example 74 was administered, no rat died during the administration period and no abnormality was observed in the weight change, blood and urine examinations and autopsy. These results suggest very low toxicity of the 3-arylpurine derivatives (Ib) of the present invention.
