Still another object of the present invention is to provide a method of using said compounds and pharmaceutical compositions containing same in therapy.
Other objects of the present invention and advantageous features thereof will become apparent as the description proceeds.
Surprisingly it has been found that the novel 2-phenyl acyl amino methyl-5-phenyl-1,4-benzo diazepine compounds according to the present invention have a pronounced analgesic activity in addition to their sedative, diuretic, and antiarrhythmic properties and are of low toxicity.
In principle, the present invention relates to 2-phenyl acyl amino methyl-1H-2,3-dihydro-1,4-benzo diazepine compounds of the following formula I ##STR2## In said Formula I R.sub.1 indicates hydrogen, lower alkyl, lower alkenyl, or cyclopropyl methyl,

R.sub.9 indicates hydrogen, halogen, lower alkyl, lower alkoxy, hydroxyl, or lower alkanoyloxy, or
R.sub.8 and R.sub.9, when attached to adjacent carbon atoms, together indicate methylene di-oxy or ethylene di-oxy.
The present invention also relates to the optically active isomers of said compounds and to their acid addition salts.
Suitable alkyl or alkenyl radicals R.sub.1 and R.sub.2 are low molecular alkyl or alkenyl radicals with up to 4 carbon atoms, which may be of straight chain or branched structure, for instance, methyl, ethyl, propyl, isopropyl, n-butyl, 1-methyl propyl, 2-methyl propyl, tertiary butyl, allyl, 2-butenyl, or 3-butenyl. More particularly the substituent R.sub.1 is hydrogen, lower alkyl, or cyclopropyl methyl, and preferably lower alkyl, especially methyl. The substituent R.sub.2 is preferably hydrogen.
If in the compounds of Formula I the substituents R.sub.4 and R.sub.5, the substituents R.sub.6 and R.sub.7 of the phenylene ring A, or the substituents R.sub.8 and R.sub.9 of the phenyl ring B represent lower alkyl groups or contain such lower alkyl groups, said groups can be straight chain or branched lower alkyl groups and preferably contain 1 to 4 carbon atoms. Said substituents are more particularly the methyl, ethyl, n-propyl, isopropyl, n-butyl, 1-methyl propyl, 2-methyl propyl, or tertiary butyl and preferably methyl, ethyl, n-propyl, and isopropyl. If the phenyl rings are disubstituted, ethyl and preferably methyl are preferred. Preferred low molecular alkoxy or alkylthio substituents are the methoxy or the methylthio groups.
If the substituents R.sub.4 to R.sub.9 are halogen atoms, fluorine, chlorine, or bromine are especially useful. If a phenyl ring is substituted by alkylthio, nitro, trifluoro methyl, cyano, amino, or substituted amino groups, mono-substitution is preferred.
The 2-phenyl acyl amino methyl-1H-2,3-dihydro-1,4-benzo diazepine compounds of Formula I as well as their optically active isomers and their acid addition salts are produced according to the present invention by acylating in a manner known per se 2-amino methyl-1H-2,3-dihydro-1,4-benzo diazepine compounds of Formula II ##STR4## or their acid addition salts with a carboxylic acid or a reactive carboxylic acid derivative of Formula III ##STR5## in an inert solvent at a temperature between -30.degree. C. and the boiling point of the solvent used. In said starting materials of Formula II the substituents R.sub.1, R.sub.2, R.sub.6, R.sub.7, R.sub.8, and R.sub.9 indicate the same substituents as given hereinabove with respect to the compounds of Formula I. In the carboxylic acid or reactive carboxylic acid derivative of Formula III the substituent R.sub.3 has the same meaning as indicated hereinabove with respect to the benzo diazepine compounds of Formula I, while Y indicates hydroxyl, halogen, lower alkoxy, or an O--CO--Z group, in which Z indicates the substituent R.sub.3 or lower alkoxy.
If desired, the resulting compounds of Formula I in which R.sub.2 indicates hydrogen, can be alkylated to yield compounds of Formula I in which R.sub.2 indicates lower alkyl or lower akenyl. Likewise in compounds of Formula I in which R.sub.6 and/or R.sub.7 indicate hydrogen, there can be introduced chlorine, bromine, the hydroxyl group, or the nitro group into the phenyl ring. Or in compounds of Formula I in which the substituents R.sub.4, R.sub.5, R.sub.6, R.sub.7, R.sub.8, and/or R.sub.9 indicate lower alkanoyloxy or lower alkanoyl amino groups, these groups can be hydrolyzed to hydroxy or amino.
If desired, the resulting racemic mixtures of compounds of Formula I can be resolved into their optically active isomers. One may convert the free bases of Formula I into the corresponding acid addition salts. Likewise the acid addition salts may be converted into the corresponding free bases of Formula I.
Acylation of the amino methyl compounds of Formula II can be carried out by methods conventionally used for forming acid amide groups by amino acylation. Amino acylation can take place in a solvent which is inert under the reaction conditions, at temperatures between -30.degree. C. and the boiling point of the solvent and under atmospheric or increased pressure. Suitable solvents are halogenated hydrocarbons such as methylene chloride or chloroform, aromatic hydrocarbons such as benzene, toluene, xylene, chloro benzene, cyclic ethers such as tetrahydrofurane, dioxane, ketones such as acetone, methyl isobutyl ketone, or dimethyl formamide. Mixtures of said solvents can, of course, also be used.
When using carboxylic acid halogenides or carboxylic acid anhydrides of Formula III as acylating agents, the reaction is preferably carried out in the presence of an acid binding agent. Suitable agents capable of combining with and binding acids are, for instance, inorganic bases, such as potassium carbonate, sodium carbonate, or potassium hydroxide, or organic bases, more particularly tertiary lower alkyl amines, such as tri-ethyl amine, tripropyl amine, or tributyl amine, or pyridines, such as pyridine, 4-dimethyl amino pyridine, or 4-pyrrolidino pyridine. When added in excess to the reaction mixture, the tertiary amines can additionally serve as inert solvents.
When using, as the one reactant, a compound of Formula III, in which Y indicates the substituent halogen, those compounds, in which the substituent Y is chlorine, are the most preferred reactants.
When using, as the one reactant, a compound of Formula III, in which the substituent Y indicates a low molecular alkoxy group, the reaction is preferably carried out in a closed reaction vessel. In this case the ester may be added in excess, thus serving as solvent. The reaction can be catalytically effected by the addition of a metal alcoholate, for instance, by the addition of aluminum isopropylate or aluminum tri-alkylcompounds.
If the acid itself or an ester thereof is used as acylating agent, the reaction of the amino compound of Formula II with the acid of Formula III or with its ester, is most advantageously carried out in the presence of a suitable coupling agent. Coupling agents which favorably affect formation of acid amides are generally known, for instance, from the peptide chemistry. More particularly N-lower alkyl-2-halogeno pyridinium salts and especially their halogenides or tosylates may be mentioned as examples of such coupling agents which promote acid amide formation by reacting with the acid in situ, thereby producing a reactive acid derivative. Preferred coupling agents of this type are, for instance N-methyl-2-chloro pyridinium iodide (described, for instance by Mukaiyama in "Angewandte Chemie" Vol. 91 (1979), pages 789-812) and alkyl carbodi-imides and especially cycloalkyl carbodi-imides, preferably dicyclohexyl carbodi-imide or carbonyl di-imidazole. The reaction in the presence of a coupling agent can be carried out more expediently at a temperature between about -30.degree. C. and about +30.degree. C. in the presence of an inert organic solvent, such as halogenated hydrocarbons and/or aromatic hydrocarbons. An acid binding amine may also be present. Other suitable coupling agents as they are also used in peptide syntheses, which are suitable for the acid amide synthesis according to the present invention, are known, for instance, from the book by Jerry March entitled "Advanced Organic Chemistry", published by McGraw-Hill Ltd., 2nd edition, pages 382-388, and from the book by Jacob Zabicky entitled "The Chemistry of Amides" published by Interscience Publishers John Wiley and Sons, London, 1970, Chapter 2 on the "Synthesis of Amides".
If in compounds of Formula III the substituents R.sub.4 and/or R.sub.5 are amino groups, monosubstituted amino groups, or hydroxyl groups, said groups can be provided with a protecting group before they are used in the reaction. Said protecting group can be split off after the reaction is completed. If required, the protecting group can be split off by hydrolysis. The free amino groups, mono-alkyl amino groups, or hydroxyl groups can be protected before the reaction in an especially advantageous manner by conversion into sulfinyl imino groups, acetyl alkyl amino groups, or acetoxy groups respectively which can readily be split up after reaction.
Resulting compounds of Formula I, in which R.sub.2 indicates hydrogen, can subsequently be converted into the corresponding N-alkyl compounds. For instance, compounds of Formula I in which the substituent R.sub.2 indicates hydrogen, can be converted subsequently into the corresponding organo-metal compounds by reaction with an agent capable of metalating the compound, such as sodium hydride, lithium butyl, lithium phenyl, sodium amide, lithium di-isopropyl amide, sodium alkoxide, or thallium (I) alkoxide. The metalating reaction is carried out in the presence of a suitable inert solvent. Thereupon, the resulting metalated compound is alkylated by reaction with an alkylating agent, for instance, with an alkyl halogenide, an alkyl sulfate, or an alkyl sulfonic acid ester, at a temperature between -80.degree. C. and the boiling point of the solvent used.
The inert solvents used are, of course, dependent on the agent selected for metalating the compound of Formula I.
Suitable solvents are, for instance, diethyl ether, tetrahydrofurane, dioxane, benzene, toluene, dimethyl formamide, or dimethyl sulfoxide. Solvents for the metal alkoxides are also the corresponding alcohols, such as, when using metal methoxides, methanol, or, when using metal ethoxides, ethanol.
The compounds of Formula I according to the present invention are obtained in the form of their racemates, when using for their synthesis racemic compounds of Formula II. The present invention, of course, comprises not only the racemic mixtures of the compounds of Formula I, but also their optically active isomers. Said racemic mixtures of the compounds of Formula I can be separated into their optically active isomers in a manner known per se by the formation of salts with suitable optically active acids, such as, for instance, tartaric acid, O,O'-dibenzoyl tartaric acid, mandelic acid, di-O-isopropylidene-2-oxo-L-gulonic acid, and the like. Subsequently the optically active antipodes are recovered by fractional crystallization of the resulting salts (see S. H. Willen, A. Collet, and J. Jacques "Tetrahedron" Vol. 33 (1977), pages 2725-2736). The free optically active bases can be produced from said optically active salts. Said bases can be converted, if desired, into their pharmacologically compatible acid addition salts. The racemic mixtures and their optically active isomers and also their acid addition salts can be purified by recrystallization from suitable solvents, such as lower alcohols and/or ethers.
Separation into optically active compounds can also be effected in a suitable preliminary step of producing the starting material of Formula II.
The 2-amino methyl compounds of Formula II used as starting compounds are known. Their preparation can be effected in a manner known per se, for instance, according to the process described in U.S. Pat. Nos. 3,998,809 and 4,096,141.
Preferably an acyl diamine of Formula IV ##STR6## in which R.sub.1, R.sub.6, R.sub.7, R.sub.8, and R.sub.9 indicate the same substituents as given hereinabove, is heated under reflux with an excess of phosphorus oxychloride for several hours. Thereupon, the resulting mixture of isomers consisting of compounds of Formula V and VI ##STR7## in which R.sub.1, R.sub.6, R.sub.7, R.sub.8, and R.sub.9 indicate the same substituents as given hereinabove, while X indicates chlorine, is separated from the reaction mixture. The 2-amino methyl-1,4-benzo diazepine compounds of Formula II are obtained from the mixture containing compounds of Formula V and VI by reaction with ammonia or primary amines, optionally in the presence of suitable solvents at temperatures between 20.degree. C. and 150.degree. C. and under atmospheric pressure or under increased pressure. In some instances it can be of advantage to first convert the mixture of the isomers of Formulas V and VI in a manner known per se by reaction with an alkali metal imide and preferably with potassium phthalimide, into the corresponding 2-imido methyl-1,4-benzo diazepine derivatives, for instance, into the corresponding 2-phthalimido methyl-1,4-benzo diazepine. Or the mixture may first be racted with an alkali metal azide, preferably with sodium or potassium azide to yield the corresponding 2-azido methyl-1,4-benzo diazepine derivative. Both compounds, the 2-amido methyl- and the 2-azido methyl-1,4-benzo diazepine compounds can then be transformed in a manner known per se into the corresponding 2-amino methyl-1,4-benzo diazepine compounds of Formula II.
A subsequent substitution in the phenyl ring of the 1,4-benzo diazepine ring system by halogen or the nitro group can be effected at the stage of the cyclizised intermediate products as well as with the final products in a manner known per se. Thereby, the reaction is carried out according to the methods described in the above mentioned U.S. Patents.
Suitable halogenating agents are, for instance, N-chloro succinimide or N-bromo succinimide. The nitro group can be introduced by means of the usual nitrating agents, for instance, by means of potassium nitrate in sulfuric acid or by means of copper.sup.II nitrate trihydrate in acetic acid anhydride as a mildly acting nitrating agent.
Starting compounds of Formula II in which the substituent R.sub.1 is hydrogen, can also be obtained by de-alkylating compounds of Formula II in which R.sub.1 is alkyl and preferably methyl, by reaction with hydrogen iodide in a manner known per se, provided, of course, that the benzo diazepine ring system of the starting compounds does not contain alkoxy groups and/or alkylthio groups as substituents. The reaction can be carried out at a temperature between 50.degree. C. and 100.degree. C. in concentrated hydrogen iodide.
The compounds of Formula I as they are obtained by the process according to the present invention are isolated either in the form of the free bases or they are converted, if desired, in a manner known per se into their acid addition salts with inorganic or organic acids. For this purpose, the desired acid serving as salt forming component is added, for instance, to a solution of the compound of Formula I in a suitable solvent. Advantageously organic solvents in which the resulting acid addition salt is insoluble, are selected for the salt forming reaction, so that the salt can readily be separated by filtration. Suitable solvents are, for instance, ethanol, isopropanol, ether, acetone, acetic acid ethyl ester, mixtures of acetone and ether, of acetone and ethanol, or of ethanol and ether.
It is known from the literature that 1,4-benzo diazepine compounds which are substituted in 2-position possess valuable pharmacological properties. More particularly the known 1,4-benzo diazepine compounds are effective in the central nervous system (see the above mentioned U.S. Patents.
On account of their anxiolytic and aggression suppressing properties they have proved to be valuable drugs for the treatment of said symptoms in humans. It is surprising that the novel 2-phenyl acyl amino methyl-1,4-benzo diazepine compounds according to the present invention exhibit a new kind of profile of pharmacological activity whereby, in addition to psychopharmacological, diuretic, and anti-arrhythmic properties, pronounced analgesic properties predominate. Thus the compounds of Formula I exhibit in pharmacological tests with animals an analgesic activity within a dosage range of 0.1 mg./kg. and 100 mg./kg.
The compounds according to the present invention are highly advantageous, useful, and effective analgesic agents on account of their pronounced analgesic activity.
It can be shown by pharmacological tests with small rodents and with monkeys that the compounds of Formula I according to the present invention are capable of increasing the pain threshold value in mammals. This effect can be proved more particularly by two pharmacological test methods, the tail flick test with mice and the arthritis pain test with rats.
DESCRIPTION OF THE PHARMACOLOGICAL TEST METHODS
1. Determination of the minimum toxic dose.
Maximum doses of 300 mg./kg. of the compound to be tested are administered per os to male mice of a weight of 20 g. to 25 g. The animals are carefully observed for any toxicity symptoms during 3 hours. In addition thereto all symptoms and deaths are registered for a period of time of 24 hours after administration of the drug. Any accompanying symptoms are also observed and registered. When death or toxic symptoms are observed, more and more decreasing doses are administered to other mice, until no more toxic symptoms are encountered. The lowest dose which causes toxic symptoms is given as the minimum toxic dose.
2. Arthritis pain test with rats.
Male rats of the strain OFA weighing 160 g. to 180 g. are anesthesized by intraperitoneal administration of 20 mg./kg. of pentobarbital sodium. 0.1 ml. of suspension of Mycobacterium Smegmae (S I043) in paraffin oil (0.6 mg. of Mycobacterium in 0.1 ml. of paraffin oil) are injected intracutaneously into the left hind paw. Fourteen days thereafter, when a pronounced secondary arthritis has developed particularly in the right hind paw, the effects of the compound to be tested are investigated. 30 minutes before the administration of the compound to be tested, a control measurement is carried out by bending three times the ankle joint of the right hind paw and the number of squeaks produced by the animal are counted. Rats which do not react are eliminated. Three hours after oral administration of the compound to be tested, the bending procedure is repeated. Animals which emit only one squeak or none at all, are considered to be protected against pain. Between 9 and 20 rats are tested per dose and the ED.sub.50 (95% confidence limit) is determined according to the method of Litchfield and Wilcoxon (1949). The dose which achieves protection in 50% of the treated animals is designated as the ED.sub.50.
3. Tail flick test with mice.
The method is based on the procedure described by d'Amour and Smith in 1941. In contrast thereto there are used, in place of rats, fed male and female mice of a body weight of 16 g. to 25 g. 30 minutes before treatment with the compound to be tested each mouse is placed into a separate cylindrical container of such a size that the mouse cannot turn around and cannot move forward. Its tail extends outwardly of the container while resting in a narrow trough. A specific spot of the tail of each animal (at a distance of about 35 mm. from the tail root) is exposed to the heat of radiation of a lamp of known strength and temperature. The lamp is positioned directly underneath the tail. The time in seconds which the mouse needs in order to jerk the tail out of the range of the light ray, is determined twice, once 30 minutes and another time 15 minutes before the subcutaneous administration of the compound (10 mg./kg) to be tested. Mice, the reaction time of which deviates by more than 25%, are eliminated and disregarded. The reaction times are again measured 15 minutes and 30 minutes after administration. An increase in the reaction times by more than 75% of the average reaction time values measured before administration of the test compound to the same mouse is considered an analgesic effect. The dose which causes the reaction time, measured 30 minutes after administration of the test compound, to be 75% longer in 50% of the animals than the reaction time measured before administration, is considered as ED.sub.50 (95% confidence limit) of each tested compound. The ED.sub.50 is calculated according to the method of Litchfield and Wilcoxon (1949).
In the following table there are given results which were obtained by proceeding according to the above described test methods. The example numbers given in said table for various compounds of Formula I refer to the compounds as they are described hereinafter in more detail in the working examples.

The free bases as well as their pharmaceutically acceptable acid addition salts can be used as medicaments. Said acid addition salts are salts with such acids, the anions of which are substantially nontoxic at the dosages administered. It is furthermore of advantage that the salts to be used as medicaments are well crystallizable and only slightly or not at all hygroscopic. The following acids are, for instance, especially suitable for forming acid addition salts with compounds of Formula I: Hydrochloric acid, hydrobromic acid, sulfuric acid, phosphoric acid, methane sulfonic acid, ethane sulfonic acid, benzene sulfonic acid, p-toluene sulfonic acid, citric acid, lactic acid, acetic acid, succinic acid, maleic acid, fumaric acid, tartaric acid, malic acid, benzoic acid, phenyl acetic acid, and mandelic acid.
The compounds of Formula I can be administered in the form of suitable pharmaceutical formulations for treating and relieving pain. For this purpose the dose is to be adjusted with respect to the type of species to be treated and to the individual requirements. In general, pain relieving effects are achieved in test animals with doses between 0.1 mg./kg. and 100 mg./kg. To achieve pain relief in humans and larger mammals there have proved to be of value, for instance, compositions containing 0.25-50 mg. preferably 1-50 mg. of the active compound in each single dose. Formulations which are to be administered parenterally contain, in general, less of the active compound than perorally administered preparations.
The compounds of Formula I can be used as such or in combination with pharmaceutically applicable carrier materials or excipients and with conventional pharmaceutical adjuvants in many dosage forms. For instance, solid preparations such as tablets, capsules, powders, granulates, suppositories, dragees, and the like can be prepared for administration. Solid preparations can contain an inorganic carrier material or excipient such as talcum, or an organic carrier material or excipient, such as starch or lactose. Other additions of conventional adjuvants, such as lubricants, for instance, magnesium stearate may also be admixed. Fluid preparations such as solutions, suspensions, or emulsions can contain the conventional diluents, such as water, paraffins, suspending agents, such as poly-oxy ethylene glycols, and the like. Furthermore, other components may also abe added, such as preservatives, stabilizing agents, and wetting agents.
DESCRIPTION OF THE PREFERRED EMBODIMENTS
The following examples serve to illustrate the present invention and more particularly the preparation of the novel compounds of Formula I without, however, being limited thereto.
The composition and strucure of the resulting novel compounds are ascertained by spectroscopic investigations especially by an exact analysis of the NMR spectra. The amide-C.dbd.O-band is determined in the infrared spectrum within the range of 1630-1650 cm.sup.-1. The composition, salts, and melting points of the novel compounds are given in the table of examples. In this table any enclosed amounts of water, acetone, ethanol, or the like which are incorporated in the respective acid addition salts, are listed.

Afer working up the reaction mixture in a manner known per se, 48 g. of a mixture of 1-methyl-2-chloro methyl-5-phenyl-1H-2,3-dihydro-1,4-benzo diazepine and 1-methyl-3-chloro-6-phenyl-1,2,3,4-tetrahydrobenzodiazocine are obtained as residue. Said mixture is boiled with 34.6 g. of potassium phthalimide and 9.6 g. of potassium iodide in 350 ml. of methanol for 22 hours. Thereby 64.1 g. of 1-methyl-2-phthalimido methyl-5-phenyl-1H-2,3-dihydro-1,4-benzo diazepine are obtained. Without further purification said compound is heated under reflux with 17.8 g. of hydrazine hydrate in 800 ml. of ethanol. The resulting 1-methyl-2-amino methyl-5-phenyl-1H-2,3-dihydro-1,4-benzo diazepine is converted in the usual manner into its di-hydrochloride of the melting point 209.degree.-213.degree. C.
(b) 19.3 g. of the above mentioned di-hydrochloride are dissolved in 260 ml. of methylene chloride. 26 ml. of tri-ethyl amine are added to said solution. A solution of 7.3 ml. of benzoyl chloride in 40 ml. of methylene chloride is added drop by drop thereto while cooling the reaction mixture with ice. The solution is then stirred at room temperature for 2 more hours and is washed first with 100 ml. of water, then with 100 ml. of a 20% ammonia solution, followed by washing with 50 ml. of water and twice, each time with 50 ml. of a saturated sodium chloride solution. The organic phase is dried over anhydrous sodium sulfate and is filtered. The resulting filtrate is freed from its solvent by distillation in a vacuum. 16.3 g. of the crude base as given hereinabove are obtained as residue. Said base is dissolved in ether and an ethereal solution of hydrochloric acid is added thereto. The precipitated hydrochloride crystals are filtered off and are stirred several times with hot acetone. 8.4 g. of 1-methyl-2-benzoyl amino methyl-5-phenyl-1H-2,3-dihydro-1,4-benzo diazepine di-hydrochloride are obtained in the form of yellow crystals of the melting point: 217.degree.-218.degree. C.

Thereupon a solution of 3.8 ml. of benzoylchloride in 50 ml. of methylene chloride is added drop by drop at a temperature of -5.degree. C. On working up the reaction mixture, there are obtained 6.8 g. of 8-methoxy-1-methyl-2-benzoyl amino methyl-5-(4'-fluoro phenyl)-1H-2,3-dihydro-1,4-benzo diazepine di-hydrochloride containing 0.8 moles of water. Its melting point is 219.degree.-222.degree. C.
