TECHNICAL FIELD
The present invention relates to novel 2-guanidino-4-arylthiazole compounds wherein said 4-aryl group is a pyrrolyl or indolyl, each aryl group being optionally substituted, which are cytoprotectants and inhibitors of the H.sup.+ /K.sup.+ ATPase enzyme, method for their use in treating peptic ulcers in mammals, including humans; compositions containing said compounds; and method for treatment of inflammation in said mammals by administering said compounds in combination with piroxicam and compositions containing said combination with piroxicam.
BACKGROUND ART
Chronic gastric and duodenal ulcers, together known as peptic ulcers, are a common ailment for which a variety of treatments, including dietary measures, drug therapy and surgery, may be employed, depending on the severity of the condition. Particularly valuable therapeutic agents useful for the treatment of gastric hyperacidity and peptic ulcers are the histamine-H.sub.2 receptor antagonists, which act to block the action of the physiologically active compound histamine at the H.sub.2 -receptor sites in the animal body and to thereby inhibit the secretion of gastric acid.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION
The 4-aryl-2-guanidinothiazoles of formula (I) are prepared, for example, by the following reaction scheme: ##STR10##
Approximately equimolar amounts of the guanylthiourea of formula (X) and aryl-R.sup.2 -substituted-alpha-haloketone of formula (IX), wherein R.sup.1, R.sup.2 and Ar are as previously defined and X is chloro or bromo, are reacted in the presence of a reaction-inert solvent such as tetrahydrofuran, a lower alkanol such as methanol, ethanol or isopropanol; a lower alkyl ketone such as acetone or methylethylketone; dimethylsulfoxide or N,N-dimethylformamide. Preferred solvents are acetone and N,N-dimethylformamide. A preferred temperature for the above reaction to provide compounds of formula (I) is from about 20.degree. to 120.degree. C. and especially from about 25.degree. to 60.degree. C. Under these conditions the formation of the desired product of formula (I) is substantially complete in from about 30 minutes to 24 hours, after which the product (I) is isolated by standard methods, well known in the art. For example, by cooling the reaction mixture to form a precipitate, evaporation of solvent or by addition of a nonsolvent, such as ethyl ether, to obtain the product in the form of its hydrochloride or hydrobromide salt. The salt is readily converted to the free base of formula (I) by standard neutralization/extraction methods. To obtain other pharmaceutically acceptable acid addition salts, the free base is taken up in an organic solvent and either one, two or three equivalents of acid corresponding to the desired salt is added. The salt is then recovered by filtration, concentration or addition of a nonsolvent, or by a combination of these methods.
Preferred values of Ar for the invention compounds of formula (I) give rise to compounds of formula (II) and (III) as defined above.
Compounds of formulae (II) or (III) where R.sup.3 is CH.sub.2 NH.sub.2, (CH.sub.2).sub.n NR.sup.8 R.sup.9 or NHCH.sub.2 R.sup.8 are prepared, for example, by reduction of the corresponding compounds wherein R.sup.3 is CN or an amide of formula (CH.sub.2).sub.n-1 CONR.sup.8 R.sup.9 or NHCOR.sup.8, respectively. Preferred reducing agents for the above reactions are the commercially available metal hydrides known in the art to be useful for such reductions. Examples of such metal hydrides are lithium aluminum hydride, lithium triethylborane, borane or diborane. Preferred reducing agents are borane/tetrahydrofuran, diborane/tetrahydrofuran and lithium aluminum hydride. Typically, the reduction is carried out under substantially anhydrous conditions and in the presence of a suitable reaction inert solvent, e.g., ethyl ether, tetrahydrofuran, 1,2-dimethoxyethane or diethyleneglycol dimethylether. A preferred range of temperature for these reduction reactions is from -70.degree. to 80.degree. C. and especially from room temperature to 60.degree. C. Under these conditions the reduction is completed in from about 2 to 24 hours, after which the excess reducing agent is quenched, e.g., by cautious addition of wet solvent or ethyl acetate and the product isolated by standard extraction/evaporation methods and purified, if desired, by recrystallization or by column chromatography.
In like manner aldehydes of formula (II) or (III) where R.sup.3 is CHO are reduced, preferably with sodium borohydride, to obtain the corresponding compounds wherein R.sup.3 is methyl. Typically such a reduction is carried out in a lower alkanol solvent such as methanol, ethanol or isopropanol at a temperature of from room temperature up to the reflux temperature of the solvent.
Hydrolysis of a compound (II) or (III) wherein R.sup.6 is R.sup.10 SO.sub.2 as defined above affords the corresponding compound where R.sup.6 is H. Typically the reaction is carried out in the presence of a strong base such as sodium hydroxide, sodium carbonate or potassium hydroxide, in aqueous solvent, preferably aqueous methanol or ethanol. While the hydrolysis can be carried out over a broad range of temperatures, a preferred temperature is from about room temperature up to 85.degree. C., and the reflux temperature of the solvent is especially preferred for reasons of efficiency and convenience.
The starting alpha-halomethylaryl ketones (IX) are prepared, for example, by acylation of the appropriate ArH compound with an alpha-haloacid halide by the well-known Friedel-Crafts reaction. ##STR11## where Ar, R and X are as previously defined. For a review of the Friedel-Crafts reaction see e.g., Groves, Chem. Soc. Rev. 1, 73 (1972).
Alternatively, the starting ketones (IX) are obtained by Friedel-Crafts acylation with an acid anhydride followed by halogenation as shown below. ##STR12## For starting compounds (IX) where Ar is one of the above pyrrole derivatives, the reaction is typically carried out with anhydrous aluminum chloride or boron trifluoride etherate as catalyst in a halogenated hydrocarbon solvent, preferably 1,2-dichloroethane or chloroform, at or about room temperature. For preparation of the indole derivatives of formula (XI), however, the acylation is typically carried out in the presence of pyridine and toluene at somewhat elevated temperature, preferably 40.degree.-80.degree. C. The halogenation of intermediate ketones (XI) is ordinarily carried out by controlled addition of an equimolar amount of elemental bromine or chlorine to a solution of the intermediate (XI) in a halogenated hydrocarbon solvent such as chloroform or methylene dichloride at a temperature of from about -20.degree. to +25.degree. C. The resulting mixture is then stirred at the temperature of the addition and/or at room temperature for several hours to complete the reaction.
A useful method for preparation of compounds (IX) where Ar is indolyl is by acylation of the appropriate indolyl Grignard reagent. For example, reaction of a 5-substituted, or 2,5-disubstituted indole with methylmagnesium chloride in ethyl ether under anhydrous conditions in the cold affords a 1,3-bis-methylmagnesium indole intermediate in situ. This is immediately acylated with an acid halide of the formula R.sup.2 CH(X.sup.1)COX.sup.2 where X.sup.1 is H, Cl or Br and X.sup.2 is Cl or Br, to provide the corresponding 1,3-diacylated indole. The latter is then selectively hydrolyzed to remove the 1-acyl group, e.g., with methanolic potassium carbonate at ambient temperature, to provide the desired 3-alkanoyl- or 3-(.alpha.-haloalkanoyl)indole of formula (IX).
Other methods for obtaining the starting alphahaloketones of formula (IX) are outlined below. ##STR13## In the first reaction sequence the aryl carbonyl chloride, obtained by reaction of the corresponding carboxylic acid with thionyl chloride, phosgene or acetyl chloride/phosphorus pentachloride by well-known methods, is reacted with diazomethane in reaction inert solvent, such as ethyl ether, to form the diazo ketone. The diazo ketone is then reacted with gaseous hydrogen halide to form the desired starting compound (IX) where R.sup.2 is H. In the second such method the corresponding arylnitrile (ArCN) is reacted with an equimolar amount of Grignard reagent, R.sup.2 CH.sub.2 MgX, where X is Cl or Br, followed by contacting the resulting iminomagnesium halide complex with water to generate the ketone, ArCOCH.sub.2 R.sup.2, which is then halogenated as described above to form the starting compound (IX).
The requisite starting guanylthioureas of formula (X) wherein R.sup.1 is as previously defined, are prepared, for example, by reaction sequence outlined below. ##STR14##
In the first step above the N-cyanoguanidine compounds (XII) are prepared by reaction of the appropriate amine (R.sup.1 NH.sub.2) and dicyanimide in approximately equimolar amounts by methods previously described by Curd et al., J. Chem. Soc., 1630 (1948) and by Redmon and Nagy in U.S. Pat. No. 2,455,807. Typically, the reactants are heated in the presence of a polar organic solvent, e.g., a (C.sub.1 -C.sub.4)alkanol, water or mixtures thereof, preferably n-butanol, at a temperature of from 40.degree. to 120.degree. C., preferably at the reflux temperature of the solvent. The N-cyanoguanidine product is then isolated, e.g., by cooling, filtering to remove precipitated salts and evaporation of the filtrate.
The guanylthiourea intermediates (X) are obtained by reaction of the appropriate N-cyanoguanidine (XII) with hydrogen sulfide. This reaction is ordinarily carried out in the presence of a polar organic solvent such as a (C.sub.1 -C.sub.4)alkanol, acetone, ethyl acetate or dimethylsulfoxide; a preferred solvent is methanol. Typically, the reaction is carried out in the presence of a catalytic amount of a secondary amine, preferably diethylamine. The reaction can be carried out at atmospheric pressure or a higher pressure, e.g., at 3 to 10 atmospheres, and at a temperature of from about 10.degree. to 100.degree. C., preferably from 25.degree. to 80.degree. C. Of course, when the reaction is run at a higher temperature within the preferred range, the reaction time will be shorter. Conversely, at a lower temperature the reaction time required will be longer. The product is ordinarily isolated simply by evaporation of solvent. In many cases the crude product, thusly obtained, is of sufficient purity for use in the next reaction step. Alternatively, the crude product can be purified, e.g., by column chromatography.
The details of the methods for providing the starting guanylthioureas (X) and the amines, R.sup.1 NH.sub.2, used in their preparation are set forth in the embodiment below, and in U.S. Pat. No. 4,560,690.
The pharmaceutically acceptable acid addition salts of the novel compounds of formula (I) are also embraced by the present invention. The salts are readily prepared by contacting the free base with an appropriate mineral or organic acid in either aqueous solution or in a suitable organic solvent. The solid salt may then be obtained by precipitation or by evaporation of the solvent. Especially preferred salts are the hydrochloride and dihydrochloride.
The utility of the present compounds as antiulcer agents is reflected in vitro by their inhibition of H.sup.+ / K.sup.+ ATPase isolated from canine gastric mucosa. The enzyme activity was assayed according to Beil et al., Brit. J. Pharmacol. 82, 651-657 (1984) with slight modifications. The enzyme (1-2 micrograms) was preincubated at 37.degree. C. for 45 minutes with a medium containing 2.times.10.sup.-3 M MgCl.sub.2, 0.05M Tris-Cl buffer (pH 7.5) with or without 0.01M KCl, and the acid activated test drug in a final volume of 0.590 ml. The reaction was started by the addition of 0.010 mmol of ATP (final concentration 3.times.10.sup.-3 M). The reaction was terminated by adding trichloroacetic acid to a concentration of 4.2%. Liberated inorganic phosphate was determined using Fiske and Subbarow Reducer available commercially (e.g., from Sigma Chemical Co., P.O. Box 14508, St. Louis, Mo. 63178, U.S.A.). In this test the drugs are preferably first acid activated by incubating in 1:1 dimethylsulfoxide:0.02N HCl at 37.degree. C. for 30 minutes. In this test the preferred compound 4-(1H-indol-3-yl)-2-(N-benzylguanidino)thiazole hydrochloride showed an IC.sub.50 (i.e., the concentration which inhibits the enzyme to the extent of 50%) of 2.times.10.sup.-6 M; 4-(5-chloro-1H-indol-3-yl)-2-(N-benzylguanidino)thiazole had an IC.sub.50 of 0.6.times.10.sup.-6 M; 2-guanidino-4-(2-methylpyrrol-4-yl)thiazole had an IC.sub.50 of 15.times.10.sup.-6 M and 4-(3-methoxyphenyl)-2-(N-benzylguanidino)thiazole had an IC.sub.50 of 10.times.10.sup.-6 M.
The in vivo utility of the present compounds as antiulcer agents is also particularly shown by their cytoprotective activity. Such activity is demonstrated by the inhibition of ethanol-induced gastric ulceration in rats, using the method of Example 18 of U.S. Pat. No. 4,560,690. In this test, preferred 2-guanidino-4-(2-methylpyrrol-4-yl)thiazole at a dose of 30 mg/kg gave 100% inhibition and 2-(N-benzylguanidino)-4-(pyrrol-2-yl)thiazole gave 99% inhibition.
The in vivo utility of the present compounds as antiulcer agents is, in part, reflected by their gastric antisecretory activity in rats by the following method:
A rat is placed in an ether jar until it has no blink reflex or pinch reflex (usually the rat is slightly cyanotic). The rat is then placed on its back, an ether cone is placed over its nose. It is important to monitor the coloring of the rat, and to remove the cone if the rat becomes excessively blue. With rat tooth forceps, the skin is lifted and an incision is made with small scissors from 2 cm below the sternum to the sternum. The muscle layer is cut in the same manner, exposing a view of the liver. The large lobe of the liver is gently lifted with straight smooth forceps exposing the pancreatic tissue and the intestine. The intestine is gently elevated and the pylorus sphincter is localized without touching the stomach. Curved forceps are carefully inserted beneath the pylorus. A length of silk thread (approximately 10 cm) is pulled through and snugly tied in a square knot. If the blood vessel is severed during the process, the rat is not used since the blood supply to the stomach will have been severely compromised under such conditions. An injection of drug or vehicle is made into the duodenum. The rat is lifted up by grasping above and below the incision, and the abdominal contents are gently inserted back into the cavity. The incision is closed with wound clips. Subsequent to stapling of wounds, rats are housed in show box cages with other surgerized rats, 4/cage. Within 15 minutes rats appear to be fully recovered from the ether anesthesia. They are carefully monitored for bleeding, which can occur if the staples are not properly positioned. Two hours after surgery the rat is sacrificed by i.p. injection of sodium pentabarbitol (1 ml/kg). Rat tooth forceps are used to lift the abdomen, and it is then cut open with dissecting scissors. The large lobe of the liver is lifted. The esophagus is located under the smaller lobe of the liver. Curved forceps are placed under the esophagus and it is lifted. A hemostat is used to clamp off the esophagus from the stomach and to gently cut the stomach free. In a funnel over a borosilicate tube, the stomach is cut along the greater curvature releasing the contents. The last of the contents is squeezed out. The fluid containing tubes are spun in the centrifuge at 3000.times. rpm for 15 minutes at room temperature. The supernatants are carefully removed with pasteur pipettes, and placed in the graduated centrifuge tubes. Volumes are recorded. An automatic titrator (endpoint=pH 7.0) is used to determine pH and microequivalents of acid output/hr/100 g rat body weight. Results are reported as % inhibition of acid secretion in mg/kg.
The oral protective effect of the present compounds on piroxicam-induced gastric lesions is determined in rats according to the method of Example 1 of U.S. Pat. No. 4,559,326.
For the treatment (prophylactic and therapeutic) of gastric ulcers in a mammalian subject by inhibiting gastric parietal cell H.sup.+ /K.sup.+ ATPase, the products of the present invention are administered by a variety of conventional routes of administration including oral and parenteral. Preferably, the compounds are administered orally. In general, these compounds will be administered orally at doses between about 0.25 and 50 mg/kg body weight of the mammalian subject to be treated per day, preferably from about 0.5 to 30 mg/kg per day, in single or divided doses. If parenteral administration is desired, then these compounds can be given at total daily doses between about 0.2 and 20 mg/kg body weight of the mammalian subject to be treated. In a 100 Kg man, this translates to a daily oral dosage of about 25-5000 mg/day (preferably about 50-3000 mg/day) and a parenteral dosage of about 20-2000 mg/day. However, at the discretion of the attending physician, some variation in dosage will necessarily occur, depending upon the condition of the subject being treated and the particular compound employed.
When co-administering piroxicam and a compound of the formula (I) to a mammal, particularly man, the oral route is preferred. The piroxicam is generally dosed in the range of about 0.1 to 1 mg/kg/day (or about 10-100 mg/day in a 100 Kg man), in single or multiple doses. The compound of the formula (I) is dosed according to the dosage regimen noted above. If desired, the compounds are dosed separately, but they are preferably co-administered in a single, combined formulation suitable for single or multiple daily dosage, as desired. Again, at the discretion of the attending physician, there can be some variation in this dosage regimen.
The compounds of the formula (I) are administered alone or in combination with piroxicam. In either case, the active ingredients will generally be further combined with pharmaceutically acceptable carriers or diluents. Suitable pharmaceutical carriers include inert diluents or fillers, sterile aqueous solutions and various organic solvents. The pharmaceutical compositions formed by combining the novel compounds of formula (I) or salts thereof and pharmaceutically acceptable carriers are readily administered in a variety of dosage forms such as tablets, powders, capsules, lozenges, syrups and the like. These pharmaceutical compositions can, if desired, contain additional ingredients such as flavorings, binders, excipients and the like. Thus, for oral administration, tablets containing various excipients, such as sodium citrate, are employed together with various disintegrants such as starch, alginic acid and certain complex silicates, together with binding agents such as polyvinylpyrrolidone, sucrose, gelatin and acacia. Additionally, lubricating agents such as magnesium stearate, sodium lauryl sulfate and talc are often useful for tableting purposes. Solid compositions of a similar type may also be employed as fillers in soft and hard filled gelatin capsules. Preferred materials therefor include lactose or milk sugar and high molecular weight polyethylene glycols. When aqueous suspensions or elixirs are desired for oral administration, the essential active ingredient therein may be combined with various sweetening or flavoring agents, coloring matters or dyes and, if desired, emulsifying agents or suspending agents, together with diluents such as water, ethanol, propylene glycol, glycerin, or combinations thereof.
Preferably, the products of this invention are administered orally in unit dosage form, i.e., as a single physically discrete dosage unit containing an appropriate amount of the active compound in combination with a pharmaceutically acceptable carrier or diluent. Examples of such unit dosage forms are tablets or capsules containing from about 5 to 1,000 mg of the active ingredient, the compound of formula (I) comprising from about 10% to 90% of the total weight of the dosage unit.
For parenteral administration, solutions or suspensions of the compounds of formula (I) in sterile aqueous solutions, for example aqueous propylene glycol, sodium chloride, dextrose or sodium bicarbonate solutions are employed. Such dosage forms are suitably buffered if desired. The preparation of suitable sterile liquid media for parenteral administration will be well known to those skilled in the art.

The present invention is illustrated by the following examples. However, it should be understood that the invention is not limited to the specific details of these examples. All temperatures are in degrees centigrade. Nuclear magnetic resonance spectra (NMR) were measured for solutions in deuterated chloroform (CDCl.sub.3) deuterated methanol (CD.sub.3 OD) or deuterated dimethyl sulfoxide (DMSO-d.sub.6), and peak positions are reported in parts per million downfield from tetramethylsilane. The following abbreviations for peak shapes are used: bs, broad singlet; s, singlet; d, doublet; t, triplet; q, quartet; m, multiplet.
