Description

TECHNICAL FIELD OF THE INVENTION

The present invention relates to new and useful condensed pyrazole derivatives, especially to 1-(substituted benzyl)-3-substituted daryl)condensed pyrazole derivatives.

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION

Cardiovascular diseases, especially various forms of thrombosis, such as coronary, embolic, venous and traumatic thrombosis, account for a large number of death per year. In fact it is estimated by the American Heart Association that 54% of all deaths is the United States can be attributed to cardiovascular disease. It is therefore important for us to be familiar with physical, Chemical and Clinical aspects of drugs used to treat these form of thrombosis. Since it is believed that initiation of thrombus formation is dependent on platelet aggregation, the inhibitors of platelet aggregation could be prototypes for drugs that could more effectively combat thrombosis.

A number of inhibitors of platelet aggregation have been usually used clinically in the treatment and prevention of vascular thrombosis. These inhibitors might be divided in to several groups based on their mode of action, wherein aspirin, dipyridamole, ticlopidine, and eicosa pentonoic acid(EPA) are used more frequently. However, because of the untold side effects of these inhibitors, it has prompted us to search for novel compounds possessing more potent inhibiting activity on platelet aggregation.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION

The present invention describes a series of 1-(substituted benzyl)-3-(substituted aryl)condensed pyrazoles which have the formula (A). Showing the general structures of condensed pyrazoles IX, X, and XI; ##STR4## wherein R.sub.1 represents H, C.sub.1-3 alkyl, X (halogen), --OR, wherein R represents H. C.sub.1-3 alkyl; ##STR5## wherein R.sub.2 represents --COOR,. --CH.sub.2 OR, H, C.sub.1-3 alkyl, ##STR6## wherein R.sub.3 represents H, C.sub.1-3 alkyl, X (halogen), --OR; wherein R represents H, C.sub.1-3 alkyl.

The preparation metes compounds(A) are shown in FIG. 1. The methods might be performed using substituted arylcarboxylic acid chloride(II, III) as starting materials, which were treated with substituted aromatic compounds(I,IV) via Friedel-Craft's reaction to form various ketones(V), and then condensed with several hydrazines (VI) to give the corresponding hydrazones(VII). The hydrazones(VII) were further treated with lead tertraacetate(LTA) and boron trifluoride-etherate(BF.sub.3.Et.sub.2 O) according to Yushina,S et al. (Yakugaku Zasshi 97, 955,1977), to give the 1-(substituted benzyl)-3-(substituted aryl)condensed pyrazoles(IX). Hydrolysis of bile ester groups of compounds IX with acids or bases gave the corresponding carboxylic acid derivatives(X). The ester grottos of compounds IX might be reduced with strolls -educible agents eg. LiAlH.sub.4 or CaBH.sub.4 to hydroxymethyl group and it thus gave alcohols(XI). These structures of compounds of formula A described above were assigned according to the IR, NMR, MS, elemental analytical data. ##STR7##

The pharmacological activity of these compounds were determined according to Born,G.C.R. by turbidimetry (J. Physiol. 168, 178, 1963). Based on the method samples were suspended in rabbit platelets which were washed with platelet-rich plasma, the aggregation was then counted by the Lumi-aggregometer(Model 1020, Paytoon, Canada). The results are shown in Tab. 1. Compounds of formula(A) at the concentration of 100 .mu.g/ml are found to inhibition the platelet aggregation perfectly which was induced by arachidonic acid(AA, ADP, collagen and PAF. Since the structures of these compounds are different from these of known antiplatelet agents, the present invention have the potential for farther development.

The pharmaceutical preparations according to the invention which contains confounds of the formula I or pharaceutically acceptable salts thereof are those for enteral or parenternal administration which contain the pharmaceutically active ingredient by itself or together with a pharmaceutically acceptable carrier material. Suitable carriers for oral dosage form are, in particular, fliers, such as sugars, for example lactose, sucrose, mannitol, and furthermore binders, such as starch mucilage using, for example, wheat, rice or potato starch, and/or, if desired, distegrating or adjuncts. Those carriers for parenteral dosage from are, in particular, aqueous solutions and furthermore lipophilic solvents or vehicles, such as fatty oils, and/or, if desired, viscosity-increasing substance, for example, sodium carboxymethylcellulose, sorbitol.

The synthetical methods and the experiments of pharmacological evaluation of these compounds are describe as follows.

(II) Inhibiting Activity on Platelet Aggregation

A. Preparation of Aggregation Inducing Agent

1. Collagen (bovine tendon) in 15 mM aqueous acetic acid was grounded at 4.degree. C. to form a well dispersed suspension, and dispensed in 1 mg/ml and stocked at -70.degree. C. Before using, it was thawed and well grounded.

2. PAF was dissolved in CCl.sub.4 and stocked at 20.degree. C. Before using, it was diluted with deionized water.

3. Adenosine(ADP) and sodium arachidonate (AA) were dissolved in deionized water for use.

B. Preparation of Platelets

A suspension of platelets was prepared according to the reported method. 100 m of EDTA and the blood from rabbit's ear was mixed in the ratio of 1:1, and immediately separated by centrifuge (120 .times. g) at room temperature for 10 minutes. The platelets enriched upper layer plasma was subjected to centrifuge (500 .times. g) for 10 minutes. After the plasma was removed, the platelets in lower layer were suspended in the Tyrode solution containing EDTA (2 mM) and bovine serum protein(3.5 mg/ml), and subjected to centrifuge (500 .times. g) again for 10 minutes. The platelets obtained was suspended in a Tyrode solution containing no EDTA, and was adjusted to about 4.5.times.10 cell/ml by a counters. 1 m of calcium ion(Ca.sup.2+) was added to the the suspension. 30 minutes after the addition, the experiment was conducted. The composition, of Tyrode: bovine serum protein, NaCl (136.9), KCl(2.7), Na.sub.3 PO.sub.3 (40.4), NaHCO.sub.3 (11.9), glucose (11.1).

C. Platelet Aggregation and ATP Release Reaction Test

The method reported by Born,G.V.R.(J.Physiol. 168, 178, 1963) was used to determine the platelet aggregation, in which a Lumi-aggregometer(Model 1020, Payton, Canada) was used. Platelet suspension(0.4 ml) was added into a small glass tube coated with silicone, and stirred at 900 rpm with a small magnetic stirrer. Unless otherwise specified, the antagonist was added 1 minute before the inducing agent, and ail the reactions were carried out at 37.degree. C. The aggregation was calculated by following formula:

aggregation(%)=(light absorption before adding inducing agent - light absorption after adding inducing agent) / (light absorption before adding inducing agent - light absorption of Tyrode solution) .times. 100%

In some experiments, the compounds of formula (A) at the concentration of 100 .mu.g/ml are found to inhibit perfectly the platelet aggregation which was induces by arachidonic acid(AA), ADP, collagen, and PAF. Since the structures of the invention compounds are different from prior anticoagulants, the present invention have a potential for further development.
