2-adamantyl-4-isothiazoline-3-ones, as bactericidal and fungicidal agents

The present invention relates to new 4-isothiazoline-3-one derivatives, and more particularly to 2-adamantyl-4-isothiazoline-3-ones, to a process for their preparation and to their use as bactericidal and fungicidal agents.
In French Patent No. 80.22278 (2.492.376), there has already been proposed 4,5-polymethylene-4-isothiazoline-3-ones of the general formula ##STR2## wherein
R.sub.1 and R.sub.2, taken together form a polymethylene chain having 3-4 carbon atoms or a polymethylene chain having 3-4 carbon atoms substituted by a lower alkyl radical having 1-4 carbon atoms, and
R.sub.3 is capable of representing various radicals, and principally a cycloalkyl radical having 3-6 carbon atoms.
Studies carried out on these 4-isothiazoline-3-ones, substituted in the 2-position by a cycloalkyl radical, have evidenced that these compounds are active effectively with respect to bacteria, but that their activity is, however, inferior to that of derivatives substituted in the 2-position by linear or branched alkyl having 1-4 carbon atoms.
As a result of new studies, it has now surprisingly been found that 4-isothiazoline-3-ones, substituted in the 2-position by an adamantyl radical, exhibit excellent bactericide and fungicide activity and that they are less toxic to mammals.
It has been particularly noted that these new derivatives, substituted in the 2-position by an adamantyl radical, are particularly powerful antifungus agents.
The present invention thus relates to 2-adamantyl-4-isothiazoline-3-ones which can be represented by the following general formula: ##STR3## wherein
R.sub.1 and R.sub.2, each independently, represent hydrogen or halogen,
or R.sub.1 and R.sub.2, taken together, form a polymethylene chain having 3 or 4 carbon atoms, optionally substituted by lower alkyl or halogen,
R.sub.1 and R.sub.2, taken together, form a pyridine ring with the double bond of the 4-isothiazoline-3-one ring, and
Ada represents an adamantyl radical selected from the group consisting of ##STR4## and their salts of a mineral or organic acid.
The halogen of the R.sub.1 and R.sub.2 radicals is preferably fluorine, bromine or chlorine.
When the R.sub.1 and R.sub.2 radicals, taken together, form a pyridine ring with the double bond of the 4-isothiazoline-3-one, the pyridine ring can be substituted by one or more lower alkyls having 1-4 carbon atoms or by at least one halogen such as fluorine, chlorine or bromine, or even by a nitro radical.
In accordance with a first embodiment of the present invention, the 2-adamantyl-4-isothiazoline-3-ones can be represented by the general formula: ##STR5## wherein
Ada has the same meaning given in formula (I) and
n is 1 or 2.
It is a question then of 2-adamantyl-4-5-trimethylene or tetramethylene-4-isothiazoline-3-ones.
In accordance with a second embodiment of the present invention, the 2-adamantyl-4-isothiazoline-3-ones can be represented by the following general formula: ##STR6## wherein
Ada has the same meaning given for formula (I), and R'.sub.1 and R'.sub.2, each independently, represent hydrogen or halogen such as fluorine, chlorine or bromine.
In accordance with this second embodiment, Ada is preferably 1'-adamantyl or 2'-adamantyl.
Finally, in accordance with a third embodiment of the present invention, the 2-adamantyl-4-isothiazoline-3-ones can be represented by the following general formula: ##STR7## wherein
Ada has the same meaning as that given for formula (I),
R.sub.3 represent hydrogen, lower alkyl having 1-4 carbon atoms, fluorine, chlorine, bromine or nitro, and
t is 1 or 2.
It is a question then of 2-adamantyl-(5,4b) isothiazolo-3-pyridinones, optionally substituted.
When the compounds in accordance with the present invention are provided in the form of salts of a mineral or organic acid it is a question more particularly of hydrochlorides, hydrobromides, nitrates, sulfates or succinates.
The particularly preferred 2-adamantyl-4-isothiazoline-3-ones, in accordance with the present invention, are those represented by general formula (III) in which the Ada radical represents 1'-adamantyl or 2'-adamantyl and R'.sub.1 and R'.sub.2 represent hydrogen or chlorine, at least one of R'.sub.1 or R'.sub.2 representing chlorine.
Representative compounds, in accordance with the present invention, which correspond to formulas (I) to (IV) include, in particular, the following:
2-(1'-adamantyl)-4,5-trimethylene-4-isothiazoline-3-one,
2-(1'-adamantyl methyl)-4,5-trimethylene-4-isothiazoline-3-one,
2-(2'-adamantyl)-4,5-trimethylene-4-isothiazoline-3-one,
2-(2'-adamantyl)-(5,4b)-isothiazolo-3-pyridinone,
2-(2'-adamantyl)-4-isothiazoline-3-one,
2-(2'-adamantyl)-5-chloro-4-isothiazoline-3-one,
2-(2'-adamantyl)-4,5-dichloro-4-isothiazoline-3-one,

2-(1'-adamantyl)-4-bromo-5-chloro-4-isothiazoline-3-one, and
2-(2'-adamantyl)-4-bromo-5-chloro-4-isothiazoline-3-one.
The compounds in accordance with the present invention can be prepared by various processes, and principally by the process described by Goerdeler and Mittler, Chem. Ber. 96, 944-954 (1963), which consists in cyclizing in an inert organic solvent a 2-carbamoyl thiocyclanone (1) in accordance with the following reaction scheme: ##STR8##
For the preparation of 2-adamantyl-4,5-polymethylene-4-isothiazoline-3-ones, it is preferred however to use the process described in French Patent No. 85.08469 (2.583.046).
This process can also be advantageously employed for the preparation of 2-adamantyl-(5,4b)-isothiazolo-3-pyridinones.
This process can be represented by the following reaction scheme: ##STR9##
The first step of this process consists in preparing a 2-alkyl or aralkyl thiocarboxamide (3) starting with a 2-alkyl or aralkyl thiocarboxylic acid (2) by transforming it into the acid chloride by treatment with thionyl chloride or a phosphorus trihalide (preferably phosphorus trichloride) in an aromatic solvent such as toluene or a chlorinated solvent such as 1,2-dichloroethane or methylene chloride. The intermediate acid chloride is then transformed into the 2-alkyl or aralkyl thio carboxamide (3) by reacting it with an adamantylamine (H.sub.2 N-Ada) in the presence of triethylamine.
The sulfoxides (4) of the compounds of formula (3) are obtained by the action either of m-chloroperbenzoic acid or by the action of an organic peracid formed in situ by the addition of H.sub.2 O.sub.2 to an organic acid such as formic acid or acetic acid. This reaction is effected by dissolving the 2-alkyl or aralkyl thio carboxamide (3) in this pure organic acid or by mixing it with a chlorinated solvent such as methylene chloride, then slowly adding at 0.degree. C. the H.sub.2 O.sub.2. After the end of the addition, the mixture is then stirred for 1-2 hours at ambient temperature and there is obtained, in a very good yield, the corresponding sulfoxide derivative (4) which is purified in accordance with conventional procedures.
The cyclization reactions of the sulfoxides (4), with the view of obtaining the hydrochlorides of the 2-adamantyl-4-isothiazoline-3-ones of formula (5), is preferably carried out in the organic solvent such as, for example, methylene chloride in the presence of an acid chloride such as thionyl chloride.
The cyclization reaction is very selective and the expected hydrochlorides precipitate in the reaction mixture. However, when they are soluble they can be easily precipitated by the addition of isopropyl ether.
The hydrochlorides of the 2-adamantyl-4-isothiazoline-3-ones (5) are particularly lipophilic. It is very easy to transform them into a free base simply by washing with water in a solution or suspension of the hydrochloride in an organic solvent such as toluene, dichloromethane or even methylene chloride. Generally, after the third washing with water, the aqueous phase no longer contains chloride ions.
The starting products of this process for preparing the compounds according to the present invention are (i) 2-polymethylene alkyl or aralkyl thio carboxylic acids and (ii) 2-alkyl or aralkyl thio nicotinic acids.
The preparation of 2-polymethylene alkyl or aralkyl thio carboxylic acids is described in French Patent No. 85.08469 (2.583.046).
The 2-alkyl or aralkyl thio nicotinic acids are obtained starting with 2-chloronicotinic acid by displacement reaction of the chloride by a potassium or sodium thiolate, prepared starting with an alkyl or aralkyl mercaptan of the formula R.sub.4 SH.
The compounds according to the invention of general formula (I), wherein R.sub.1 and/or R.sub.2 represent hydrogen or halogen, are preferably obtained starting with 3-mercapto propionamide derivatives in accordance with the method described by S. N. Lewis et al., J. Heter. Chem. 571, 1971.
This process can be represented by the following reaction scheme: ##STR10##
The N-adamantyl 3-chloro propionamide (7) is obtained by reacting 3-chloro propionic acid chloride with an adamantylamine (H.sub.2 N-Ada) in the presence of triethylamine.
This amide (7) is then reacted with potassium thiolacetate in an organic solvent such as acetone and leads, with a good yield, to N-adamantyl-3-acetylthio propionamide j(8). Starting with the latter, it is possible to produce the 2-adamantyl-4-isothiazoline-3-ones in accordance with two synthesis methods.
In accordance with the first method, the N-adamantyl-3-acetylthio propionamide (8) is transformed into the corresponding thiol (9) by treatment in methanol in an acid medium. The latter is then oxidized in the presence of H.sub.2 O.sub.2 into the corresponding disulfide (10). By reaction with a halogen, the disulfide (10) is transformed into 2-adamantyl-4-isothiazoline-3-one. Following the amounts of halogen employed, one can direct the formation either to non-halogenated and mono-halogenated 4-isothiazoline-3-one or to 4,5-mono- and dihalogeno-4-isothiazoline-3-ones.
In accordance with the second method, sulfuryl chloride is reacted directly with the N-adamantyl-3-acetylthio propionamide (8) dissolved in toluene. There is thus obtained, as the preponderant product, 2-adamantyl-5-chloro-4-isothiazoline-3-one (11).
The present invention also relates to this second method for the synthesis of 2-adamantyl-4-isothiazoline-3-ones, mono-halogenated in the 5-position, this being particularly advantageous because it avoids the preparation of the thiol (9) and its disulfate (10) and moreover the mono-halogenation of the double bond is more selective.
The present invention also relates to, as new industrial products, intermediate synthesis compounds having the following formula ##STR11## wherein
t is 0 or 1,
Ada has the same meaning as that given for formula (I),
R.sub.1 and R.sub.2 have the same meanings as those given for formula (I) with the exclusion of R.sub.1 and R.sub.2, each independently, representing hydrogen or halogen, and
R.sub.4 represents alkyl or aralkyl.
As has been indicated previously, the 2-adamantyl-4-isothiazoline-3-ones, in accordance with the present invention, are particularly useful in destroying bacteria, fungus, molds, algae as well as all other parasites.
The invention thus also relates to a composition containing form 0.01 to 25 weight percent of at least one 2-adamantyl-4-isothiazoline-3-one, such as defined above, or an acid addition salt thereof as an active compound. The 2-adamantyl- 4-isothiazoline-3-ones can be formulated as such or in the form of a complex with cyclodextrin in a solid, semi-solid or liquid vehicle.
Representative solid substances which can be employed as the vehicle appropriate for the preparation of a composition in the form of a powder, include various porous and pulverulent inert agents of an organic or inorganic nature such as tricalcium phosphate, calcium carbonate, kaolin, bentonite, talc, Kieselguhr, boric acid, powdered cork, sawdust and other fine pulverulent materials of a vegetable origin.
The active compound is mixed with the substances used as the vehicle, for example by being crushed with the vehicle. As a variation, the inert substance employed as the vehicle can be impregnated with a solution of the active compound in an easily volatilized solvent and the solvent is then removed by heating or filtration with aspiration under reduced pressure. By adding wetting and/or dispersing agents to the pulverulent preparations, which can be easily moistened with water, suspensions can be obtained.
The inert solvents employed for the preparation of liquid compositions must be non-inflammable and also odorless and non-toxic vis-a-vis warm blooded animals or plants.
It is also possible to use mixtures of solvents. Other liquid forms that can be employed include emulsions or suspensions, of an active compound according to the invention, in water or an appropriate inert solvent or also as a concentrate. To this end, the active compound is, for example, mixed with a dispersion or emulsifying agent. The active compound can also be dissolved or dispersed in an appropriate inert solvent and, simultaneously or subsequently, admixed with a dispersion or emulsifying agent. It is also possible to use semi-solid vehicles and in particular a creamy ointment or a paste in which the active compound is incorporated.
Moreover, it is also possible to use the active compounds of the present invention in the form of an aerosol. The active component is, in this case, dissolved or dispersed using an appropriate inert solvent. Solutions are obtained under pressure which, when they are atomized, give aerosols which are indeed particularly suitable to combat micro-organisms.
The compositions mentioned above can be applied by classic procedures such as by dusting, sprinkling, spraying, brushing, dipping, coating, impregnating, absorbing, injecting or any other appropriate manner.
The 2-adamantyl-4-isothiazoline-3-ones, in accordance with the present invention, or their salts can be employed in cosmetics as, for example, preservatives in compositions such as shampoos, capillary lotions, deodorants, sun products, and products for the face and body.
The 2-adamantyl-4-isothiazoline-3-ones can also be used as active compounds in cosmetic compositions provided in the form of solutions, dispersions, emulsions, creams, gels, pastes, aerosols, powders or soaps.
The present invention also relates to pharmaceutical compositions for human or veterinary medicine. These compositions can be provided in the form of solutions, emulsions, suspensions, creams, lotions, ointments, aerosols, powders, injectable solutions or suspensions, tablets, granules, gelules, capsules and can be administered according to the type of formulation, topically or any other general manner.
When the compounds according to the present invention are employed in cosmetic or pharmaceutical compositions, the concentration of the active compound is generally between 0.1 and 10 weight percent relative to the total weight of the composition.
In addition to their use in cosmetics and in human and veterinary pharmaceutical compositions, the compounds of the present invention are useful in other industrial fields such as agriculture, paper making, paints and enamels, water treatment and household maintenance products, principally clothes washing and disinfectant products.
When the compounds of the present invention are employed as anti-algae, antifungus and antibacteria agents in water treatment products, for example in swimming pools or water cooling systems, the requisite concentration is generally between 0.5 and 1,000 ppm.
When they are used in powdered or liquid laundry detergents, the concentration is preferably between 0.01 and 10 percent.
In antifouling and antifungus paints and enamels, the concentration of the active compound varies preferably between 0.1 and 25 g/liter.
There is now given as an illustration and without any limiting character, several examples of the preparation of 2-adamantyl-4-isothiazoline-3-ones according to the invention as well as several examples of their use.
