2-saccharinylmethyl aryl and aryloxy acetates useful as proteolytic enzyme inhibitors and compositions and method of use thereof

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION
(a) Field of the Invention
This invention relates to novel 2-saccharinylmethyl aryl and aryloxy acetates, which inhibit the enzymatic activity of proteolytic enzymes, to compositions containing the same, to the method of use thereof in the treatment of degenerative diseases and to processes for their preparation.
(b) Information Disclosure Statement
The inhibition of proteolytic enzymes by nontoxic reagents is useful in the treatment of degenerative disorders, such as emphysema, rheumatoid arthritis and pancreatitis, in which proteolysis is a substantive element.
Protease inhibitors are widely utilized in biomedical research. Serine proteases are the most widely distributed class of proteolytic enzymes. Some serine proteases are characterized as chymotrypsin-like or elastase-like based upon their substrate specificity.
Chymotrypsin and chymotrypsin-like enzymes normally cleave peptide bonds in proteins at a site at which the amino acid residue on the carboxyl side is typically Trp, Tyr, Phe, Met, Leu or another amino acid residue which contains aromatic or large alkyl side chains.
Elastase and elastase-like enzymes normally cleave peptide bonds at a site at which the amino acid residue on the carboxyl side of the bond is typically Ala, Val, Ser, Leu or other similar, smaller amino acids.
Both chymotrypsin-like and elastase-like enzymes are found in leukocytes, mast cells and pancreatic juice in higher organisms, and are secreted by many types of bacteria, yeast and parasites.

The compounds of formula I and formula VI can be prepared by reaction of a 2-halomethylsaccharin or 2-halomethyl-4,5,6,7-tetrahydrosaccharin with an appropriate aryl or aryloxy acetic acid in the presence of an acid-acceptor, such as an alkali metal carbonate or a trilower-alkylamine. Alternatively an alkali metal salt, especially a cesium salt, of the aryl or aryloxy acetic acid (prepared by reaction of the acid with an alkali metal carbonate) can be reacted with the 2-halomethyl compound. These reactions can also be optionally run in the presence of tetrabutylammonium bromide (TBAB), These reactions can be carried out in an inert organic solvent such as xylene, acetonitrile, methylene dichloride, N-methyl-2-pyrrolidinone, or dimethylformamide (DMF) at a temperature in the range from ambient up to the boiling point of the solvent used. The reactions are illustrated as follows where X is chloro, bromo, or iodo. ##STR4##
The 4-R.sup.4 -R.sup.5 -2-halomethylsaccharins required for the preparation of the compounds of formula I are prepared by the methods described by D'Alelio et al., J. Macromol. Sci-Chem., A3(5), 941 (1969) and Saari et al., J. Het. Chem., 23, 1253 (1986) as shown below where Alk is lower alkyl. ##STR5## In the method described by Saari, an ester of an appropriate anthranilic acid is prepared by conventional means from the substituted anthranilic acid and the ester diazotized. The diazonium salt is then reacted with sulfur dioxide and cupric chloride to produce a sulfonyl chloride which is then reacted with concentrated ammonium hydroxide to produce the substituted saccharin derivatives of formula II. The latter, on reaction with formaldehyde in a lower-alkanol solvent, affords the 4-R.sup.4 -R.sup.5 -2-hydroxymethylsaccharins of formula III, which, on reaction with a thionyl halide or a phosphorus trihalide, afford the corresponding 4-R.sup.4 -R.sup.5 -2-halomethylsaccharin derivatives of formula IV.
The 4-R.sup.4 -R.sup.5 -2-halomethylsaccharins of formula IV, where R.sup.4, R.sup.5 and X have the meanings given above, can also be prepared by reaction of a corresponding 4-R.sup.4 -R.sup.5 -2-phenyl-thiomethylsaccharin with a sulfuryl halide in an inert organic solvent, for example methylene dichloride (MDC), ethylene dichloride (EDC) or carbon tetrachloride, at a temperature from around 0.degree. C. to around 30.degree. C. The 4-R.sup.4 -R.sup.5 -2-phenylthiomethylsaccharins are in turn prepared by reaction of a 4-R.sup.4 -R.sup.5 -saccharin of formula II with a halomethyl phenyl sulfide in an inert organic solvent, such as toluene, xylene, DMF or MDC at a temperature in the range from ambient up to the boiling point of the solvent used. The reaction can be carried out by reaction of the halomethyl phenyl sulfide with either the thallium salt of the saccharin derivative of formula II (prepared by reaction of the saccharin derivative with a thallium lower-alkoxide in a lower-alkanol); or with a di-lower-alkyl ammonium salt of the saccharin derivatives (prepared as described below) in the presence of a tetra-lower-alkyl ammonium halide, such as tetrabutyl ammonium bromide (hereinafter TBAB); or with the saccharin derivative of formula II per se in the presence of a tetralower-alkyl ammonium halide; or with the saccharin derivative of formula II per se in the presence of a tetralower-alkyl ammonium halide and an alkali metal lower-alkoxide, such as potassium t-butoxide.
The saccharins of formula II may also be converted to the chloromethyl saccharins of formula IV, wherein X is Cl, in one step by reaction with an excess of formaldehyde or a formaldehyde equivalent, such as paraformaldehyde or 1,3,5-trioxane, and a chlorosilane, preferably chlorotrimethylsilane in the presence of a Lewis acid, preferably a catalytic amount of stannic chloride in an inert solvent, preferably 1,2-dichloroethane (ethylene dichloride, EDC).
It will be appreciated that all of the conversions of the saccharins II to the 2-chloromethyl saccharins IV are equally applicable to the conversion of tetrahydrosaccharins VII to 2-chloromethyl tetrahydrosaccharins VIII. ##STR6##
The compounds of formula II can also be prepared by reaction of a 2-R.sup.4 -R.sup.5 -N N-di-lower-alkylbenzamide of formula V with one molar equivalent of a lower-alkyl alkali metal, such as a lower-alkyl lithium, optionally in the presence of a tetralower-alkylethylenediamine, in an inert organic solvent, for example THF, and reaction of the resulting alkali metal salt either with sulfur dioxide at a temperature in the range from -50.degree. C. to -80.degree. C. followed by reaction of the resulting alkali metal sulfinate with hydroxylamine-O-sulfonic acid in the presence of base, or with a sulfuryl halide followed by ammonia. When the sulfur dioxide-hydroxylamine-O-sulfonic acid route is used, it is particularly advantageous to neutralize the hydroxylamine-O-sulfonic acid with one equivalent of sodium hydroxide prior to addition of the alkali metal sulfinate. The resulting 2-R.sup.4 -R.sup.5 -6-aminosulfonyl-N,N-dilower-alkylbenzamide is thereafter heated in an acid medium to effect cyclization of the latter to produce the dilower-alkyl ammonium salt of the desired 4-R.sup.4 -R.sup.5 -saccharin of formula II, which can be used as such in the subsequent reaction or, if desired, can be hydrolyzed in dilute acid and the free saccharin isolated. It is preferred to carry out the cyclization in refluxing glacial acetic acid. The method is illustrated as follows where R.sup.4, R.sup.5 and Alk have the meanings given above. ##STR7##
The compounds of formula II where R.sup.4 is either primary or secondary lower-alkyl, and which are useful as intermediates for the preparation of the compounds of formula I as described above, are prepared by one of the following methods. The compounds of formula II where R.sup.4 is primary lower-alkyl are prepared by reacting a 4-methyl-R.sup.5 -saccharin (formula II, R.sup.4 is CH.sub.3) with two molar equivalents of a lower-alkyl lithium in an inert organic solvent, for example THF, and reacting the resulting lithium salt with one molar equivalent of a lower-alkyl halide, both reactions being carried out at a temperature in the range from about -50.degree. C. to -80.degree. C.
The compounds of formula II where R.sup.4 is primary lower-alkyl and R.sup.5 is other than hydrogen, or R.sup.4 is secondary lower-alkyl and R.sup.5 is as defined for formula I comprises reaction of a 2-primary-lower-alkyl-R.sup.5 -N,N-di-lower-alkylbenzamide (formula V, R.sup.4 is primary-lower-alkyl) with one molar equivalent of a lower-alkyl lithium or a lithium dilower-alkylamide, optionally in the presence of a tetralower-alkylethylenediamine, in an inert organic solvent, for example THF, and reaction of the resulting lithium salt with one molar equivalent of a lower-alkyl halide at a temperature in the range from about -50.degree. C. to -80.degree. C. The resulting 2-primary or secondary-lower-alkyl-R.sup.5 -N,N-di-lower-alkyl-benzamide is thereafter converted to the compounds of formula II, where R.sup.4 is primary or secondary lower-alkyl, by the same sequence of reactions described above, i.e. by reaction of the 2-primary or secondary-lower-alkyl-R.sup.5 -N,N-di-lower-alkylbenzamide with one molar equivalent of a lower-alkyl lithium; reaction of the resulting lithium salt either with sulfur dioxide followed by hydroxylamine-O-sulfonic acid in the presence of base or with a sulfuryl halide followed by ammonia; and cyclization of the product to the desired 4-primary or secondary-lower-alkyl-R.sup.5 -saccharin of formula II. When the 2-lower-alkyl group in the 2-lower-alkyl-R.sup.5 -N,N-di-lower-alkyl-benzamide starting material is methyl, alkylation affords species where the 2-lower-alkyl group is either straight or branched depending upon whether a straight or branched chain lower-alkyl halide is used for the alkylation. On the other hand, when the 2-lower-alkyl group in the starting material contains more than one carbon atom, alkylation takes place on the carbon atom adjacent the benzene ring and affords products having a sec.-lower-alkyl group at the 2-position.
A particularly useful method for the preparation of compounds II where R.sup.4 is n-lower-alkyl and R.sup.5 is hydrogen involves the protection of the benzylic protons of the starting material V with a trialkylsilyl group, thereby permitting lithiation at the 6-position and formation of the sulfonamide as described above. ##STR8## A 2-n-lower-alkylbenzamide wherein R.sup.8 is lower-alkyl is silylated by forming the benzylic anion using an alkyllithium or, preferably, a lithium dialkylamide (i.e. LDA) in an inert solvent, preferably THF, and treating with a suitable chlorotrialkylsilane, preferably chlorotrimethylsilane. The saccharin is synthesized as before, and the silyl group is removed by treatment with a source of fluoride anion, preferably cesium fluoride in DMF or tetra-n-butylammonium fluoride in an inert solvent.
Access to certain of the required intermediates in some cases requires building up the two rings making up the saccharin nucleus. Thus to prepare saccharins where R.sup.4 is lower-alkoxy and R.sup.5 is 7-hydroxy, or tetrahydrosaccharins where R.sup.7 is lower-alkoxy, the following synthesis may be used: ##STR9## 3,3-Dithiobispropionic acid is converted to the bis acid chloride by reaction of the acid with thionyl chloride, and the acid chloride is then reacted with two molar equivalents of benzylamine to produce the bis N-benzylamide. The latter, on reaction with sulfuryl chloride in an organic solvent, such as MDC, EDC or carbon tetrachloride, affords 5-chloro-2-benzyl-2H-isothiazol-3-one, which is oxidized with one molar equivalent of a peracid, such as perbenzoic acid or 3-chloroperbenzoic acid, to 5-chloro-2-benzyl-2H-isothiazol-3-one-1-oxide. The latter, on heating under pressure with a 2-lower-alkoxyfuran in an organic solvent, such as benzene, toluene or xylene, affords a 4-lower-alkoxy-7-hydroxy-2-benzyl-1,2-benzisothiazol-2H-3-one-1-oxide. The 7-hydroxy group can, if desired, then be reacted with a lower-alkyl halide or a lower-alkyl(O-lower-alkylene).sub.p -halide, where the halide is a chloride, bromide or iodide to give the corresponding 4,7-di-lower-alkoxy or 4-lower-alkoxy-7-[lower-alkyl-(O-lower-alkylene).sub.p -O]-2-benzyl-1,2-benzisothiazol-2H-3-one-1-oxide. Further oxidation of the product with one molar equivalent of a peracid as described above followed by catalytic debenzylation by transfer hydrogenation affords the corresponding 4-lower-alkoxy-7-hydroxysaccharins.
When a tetrahydrosaccharin is desired, the following modification is used: ##STR10##
The 5-chloro-2-benzyl-2H-isothiazole-3-one-1-oxide may be oxidized with a suitable oxidizing agent, preferably hydrogen peroxide in acetic acid, to the 1,1-dioxide which is then reacted under typical Diels Alder conditions with the appropriate diene and reduced to provide the 2-benzyl tetrahydrosaccharin which is hydrogenolyzed as before to the tetrahydrosaccharin.
Compounds of formula II wherein R.sup.4 is lower-alkyl or phenyl and R.sub.5 is hydrogen may be synthesized by an alternate route from 2-cyclohexenone: ##STR11##
2-Cyclohexenone is reacted with the appropriate cuprate, (R.sup.4).sub.2 CuZ wherein Z is lithium or Mg(X').sub.2 and X' is a chloride, bromide or iodide, followed by methyl cyanoformate according to the method of Winkler et al. [Tet. Lett. 1987, 1051 and J. Org. Chem. 53, 4491 (1989)]. The resulting .beta.-ketoester is reacted with benzylmercaptan in the presence of the acidic clay Montmorillonite KSF to produce a mixture of regioisomers of the benzylthioenol ether. The mixture is aromatized by treatment with dichlorodicyanobenzoquinone (DDQ) and oxidized with chlorine gas in aqueous acid to provide the sulfonyl chloride ester, which may then be converted to the intermediate II as shown earlier.
The 4,5,6,7-tetrahydrosaccharins which are the starting materials for the compounds of formula VI wherein R.sup.7 is hydrogen are synthesized by a route similar to the preceding one: ##STR12##
A 3-alkyl-2-cyclohexenone is reacted with the appropriate alkyl lithium cuprate in an ethereal solvent, preferably diethyl ether, at -50.degree. to +20.degree., preferably about 0.degree., and the resulting adduct is treated in situ with methyl cyanoformate and hexamethylphosphoramide. The 6, 6-dialkyl-2-oxocyclohexane carboxylate so produced is reacted with benzyl mercaptan as described above and the mixture of 2-(benzylthio)cyclohexane carboxylates is oxidatively chlorinated as described above to provide a mixture of chlorosulfonyl esters that are treated with ammonia as before to yield the desired 4,4-dialkyl-4,5,6,7-tetrahydrosaccharins.
The aryl and aryloxy acetic acids used to prepare the final products of formula I are either commercially available or are members of a known class and can be prepared by well-known, conventional synthetic methods.
Simple chemical transformations which are conventional and well known to those skilled in the art of chemistry can be used for effecting changes in functional groups in the compounds of the invention. For example, catalytic reduction of nitro groups to produce the corresponding amino substituted compounds, acylation of amino-substituted species to prepare the corresponding amides, oxidation of sulfides or sulfoxides to prepare the corresponding, respective sulfoxides or sulfones, saponification of esters to produce the corresponding carboxylic acids, catalytic debenzylation of phenolic ethers or of benzylamines to produce the corresponding phenols or debenzylated amines or reaction of phenols with an alkylating agent in the presence of base to produce ethers as desired can be carried out.
In standard biological test procedures, representative examples of the compounds of the invention have been found to possess human leukocyte elastase (HLE) inhibitory activity, and are thus useful in the treatment of degenerative diseases, such as emphysema, rheumatoid arthritis, pancreatitis, cystic fibrosis, chronic bronchitis, adult respiratory distress syndrome, inflammatory bowel disease, psoriasis, bullous pemphigoid and alpha-1-antitrypsin deficiency.
The compounds of the invention having basic functions can be converted to the acid-addition salt form by interaction of the base with an acid. In like manner, the free base can be regenerated from the acid-addition salt form in conventional manner, that is by treating the salts with cold, weak aqueous bases, for example alkali metal carbonates and alkali metal bicarbonates. The bases thus regenerated can be interacted with the same or a different acid to give back the same or a different acid-addition salt. Thus the bases and all of their acid-addition salts are readily interconvertible.
Likewise the compounds of the invention having acid, i.e. carboxylic acid, functions can be converted to salt forms thereof by reaction of the acid with a base, such as alkali metal or ammonium hydroxides or with organic bases such as alkyl, dialkyl or trialkylamines, and the acids can be regenerated from the salts by treatment of the salts with aqueous acids.
The pharmacological activity of the compounds of the invention can be enjoyed in useful form for pharmaceutical purposes by employing the free bases or free acids themselves or the salts formed from pharmaceutically acceptable acids and bases; that is, acids or bases whose anions or cations are innocuous to the animal organism in effective doses of the salts so that beneficial properties inherent in the free bases and free acids are not vitiated by side effects ascribable to the anions or cations.
In utilizing this pharmacological activity of the salt, it is preferred, of course, to use pharmaceutically acceptable salts. Although water insolubility, high toxicity or lack of crystalline character may make some particular salt species unsuitable or less desirable for use as such in a given pharmaceutical application, the water-insoluble or toxic salts can be converted to the corresponding pharmaceutically acceptable bases by decomposition of the salts with aqueous base or aqueous acid as explained above, or alternatively they can be converted to any desired pharmaceutically acceptable salt by double decomposition reactions involving the anion or cation, for example by ion-exchange procedures.
Moreover, apart from their usefulness in pharmaceutical applications, the salts are useful as characterizing or identifying derivatives of the free bases or free acids or in isolation or purification procedures. Like all of the salts, such characterization or purification salt derivatives can, if desired, be used to regenerate the pharmaceutically acceptable free bases or free acids by reaction of the salts with aqueous base or aqueous acid, or alternatively they can be converted to a pharmaceutically acceptable salt by, for example, ion-exchange procedures.
The novel feature of the compounds then resides in the concept of the 2-saccharinylmethyl aryl or aryloxy acetates not in any particular acid or base moiety or acid anion or base cation associated with the salt forms of the compounds.
The compounds of the invention can be prepared for pharmaceutical use by incorporating them in unit dosage form as tablets or capsules for oral administration either alone or in combination with suitable adjuvants such as calcium carbonate, starch, lactose, talc, magnesium stearate, gum acacia and the like. Still further, the compounds can be formulated for oral, parenteral or aerosol inhalation administration either in aqueous solutions of water soluble salts of the compounds or in aqueous alcohol, glycol or oil solutions or oil-water emulsions in the same manner as conventional medicinal substances are prepared.
The percentages of active component in such compositions may be varied so that a suitable dosage is obtained. The dosage administered to a particular patient is variable, depending upon the clinician's judgment using as criteria: the route of administration, the duration of treatment, the size and physical condition of the patient, the potency of the active component and the patient's response thereto. An effective dosage amount of the active component can thus readily be determined by the clinician after a consideration of all criteria and using his best judgment on the patient's behalf.
The molecular structures of the compounds of the invention were assigned on the basis of study of their infrared and NMR spectra. The structures were confirmed by the correspondence between calculated and found values for elementary analyses for the elements or by analysis of the high-resolution mass spectra.
The following examples will further illustrate the invention without, however, limiting it thereto. All melting points are in .degree.C. and are uncorrected.
PREPARATION OF STARTING MATERIALS
Preparation 1
Powdered potassium hydroxide (7.4 g, 0.132 mol) was admixed with dimethyl sulfoxide (DMSO) (100 ml), and the mixture was stirred for 5 minutes. 6-Methylanthranilic acid (10.0 g, 0.066 mol) was then added to the mixture and iodomethane (4.52 ml, 0.073 mol) added dropwise. The reaction mixture was stirred for 30 minutes at room temperature, then diluted with 250 ml of ether, washed with water (3.times.100 ml), dried over magnesium sulfate and concentrated. The crude product was filtered through a pad of flash grade (32-63) silica gel and eluted with 1:9 ether:hexane to afford 4.23 g (39%) of methyl 6-methylanthranilate as an oil.
The methyl 6-methylanthranilate so prepared (4.23 g, 0.026 mol) was dissolved in 25 ml of acetic acid and the solution cooled to 0.degree. C. Concentrated hydrochloric acid (45 ml) was added to produce a tan slurry. A solution of 1.89 g (0.027 mol) of sodium nitrite in 8 ml water was added dropwise with stirring, the resulting orange solution was stirred at 0.degree. C. for 1 hour and then added in 6 portions to a mixture of 2.18 g (0.013 mol) of cupric chloride dihydrate and sulfur dioxide (6.3 g) in 33 ml of acetic acid and 6 ml of water at 0.degree. C. The dark green solution was stirred at room temperature overnight, poured into 300 ml of ice-water, and the solid which separated was collected and dried by suction to provide 1.11 g of methyl 2-chlorosulfonyl-6-methylbenzoate which was immediately added to 100 ml of ice cold ammonium hydroxide and stirred at room temperature overnight. The solution was acidified to pH 1 with concentrated hydrochloric acid, and the resulting precipitate was collected and air-dried to provide 729 mg (12%) of 4-methylsaccharin, mp 224.degree.-226.degree. C.
A mixture of 1.0 g (0.005 mol) of 4-methylsaccharin, 0.33 g (0.001 mol) of TBAB and 1.2 g (0.0075 mol) of chloromethyl phenyl sulfide in 25 ml of toluene was heated under reflux for about sixteen hours and then cooled, diluted with ethyl acetate and the solution washed with aqueous bicarbonate and water. The organic layer was dried and taken to dryness to give 0.74 g of 2-phenylthiomethyl-4-methylsaccharin.
The latter (0.74 g, 0.002 mol) was dissolved in 25 ml of MDC and the solution treated dropwise over a period of about two hours with stirring with a solution of 0.47 g (0.003 mol) of sulfuryl chloride in MDC and the reaction mixture taken to dryness. The yellow residual solid was triturated with hexane and filtered and dried to give 0.46 g of 2-chloro-methyl-4-methylsaccharin as a pale yellow solid.

Using the procedure described above in Preparation 1, 5.0 g (0.029 mol) of 6-chloroanthranilic acid and 2.75 ml (0.044 mol) of iodomethane were reacted in the presence of 4.08 g (0.073 mol) of powdered potassium hydroxide to give 4.22 g (78%) of methyl 6-chloroanthranilate as an oil.
4-Chlorosaccharin was prepared by the same method as used for the preparation of 4-methylsaccharin using 4.22 g (0.023 mol) of methyl 6-chloroanthranilate in 22 ml of acetic acid and 40 ml of concentrated hydrochloric acid and 1.68 g (0.024 mol) of sodium nitrite in 7 ml of water to prepare the diazonium salt which was added to 1.93 g (0.011 mol) of cupric chloride dihydrate and 6.5 g of sulfur dioxide in 30 ml of acetic acid and 5 ml of water. The resulting methyl 2-chlorosulfonyl-6-chlorobenzoate was treated with 150 ml of ammonium hydroxide as described above to afford 3.07 g (62%) of 4-chlorosaccharin as a pale yellow solid, mp 245.degree.-246.degree. C.
2-Hydroxymethyl-4-chlorosaccharin was prepared by heating a solution of 1.00 g (0.0046 mol) of 4-chlorosaccharin and 3.22 ml of aqueous 37% formalin in ethanol. All attempts to crystallize the viscous oily product resulted in decomposition to the starting material, and the product was thus used in the next step without characterization.
The crude 2-hydroxymethyl-4-chlorosaccharin so prepared (609 mg, 0.0025 mol) was admixed with 5 ml of diethylether, and 3 ml of thionyl chloride was added. The resulting mixture was heated to effect complete solution, stirred at room temperature overnight, diluted with 20 ml of ether and filtered through a pad of celite topped with sand and eluted with ether.

The mixture was then stirred for ten minutes and taken to dryness in vacuo to give 0.41 g (85%) of methyl 2-chlorosulfonyl-6-phenylbenzoate which was dissolved in 10 ml of THF and added to 25 ml of a solution of concentrated ammonium hydroxide while cooling in an ice/acetone bath. The reaction mixture was extracted with MDC, the organic phase discarded, and the aqueous layer acidified to pH 1 with concentrated hydrochloric acid and extracted with MDC.

C. and treated with a solution of 23.68 g (0.175 mol) of N,N-diethylcarbamyl chloride in 80 ml of diethyl ether. The resulting solution was stirred for about 12 hours while the reaction temperature was allowed to rise and then quenched with saturated ammonium chloride solution. The aqueous and organic layers were separated, the aqueous layer back extracted with ethyl acetate and the combined organic extracts washed once with brine, then dried and the solution taken to dryness to give a crude product which was flash chromatographed on silica gel, eluting with 30% ethyl acetate/hexane to give 34.4 g (79%) of 2-isopropyl-4-methoxy-N,N-diethylbenzamide as an oil which was used as such in the next step without further purification.

Removal of the solvent at atmospheric pressure afforded the sulfonyl chloride as a crude dark oil. This crude sulfonyl chloride was dissolved in 1.4 L of THF, cooled to -10.degree. C., and 540 mL of concentrated NH.sub.4 OH (28%) was added in portions over 15 minutes (the temperature was kept at 15.degree. C. or below throughout the addition).

When addition was complete the reaction mixture was heated under reflux for about five hours, cooled, taken to dryness in vacuo and the residue treated with ice and saturated sodium bicarbonate. The aqueous solution was extracted once with ethyl acetate and then acidified to pH 1 with concentrated hydrochloric acid. Extraction of the mixture with ethyl acetate/diethyl ether (8:2), drying the organic extracts and removal of the solvent in vacuo afforded 0.9 g (96%) of 6-hydroxy-4-isopropylsaccharin as a white crystalline solid which was used as such in the next step.

Preparation 23BK
Reaction of isothiazole-5-carboxaldehyde with lithium 3-(triphenylphosphoranylidene)propanoate under standard Wittig conditions provides 4-(5-isothiazolyl)-3-butenoic acid which is reduced and cyclized with aluminum chloride to provide 4-oxo-4,5,6,7-tetrahydrobenzisothiazole. The 4-oxo compound is reacted with methylenetriphenyl phosphorane under standard Wittig conditions and a methylene is inserted into the resulting 4-methylene compound via a Simmons Smith reaction to provide 6,7-dihydrospiro[benzisothiazol-4(5H),1'-cyclopropane] which is oxidized with hydrogen peroxide in acetic acid to give 6,7-dihydrospiro[3-oxo-benzisothiazol-4(5H),1'-cyclopropane 1,1-dioxide (4-spirocyclopropyl tetrahydrosaccharin). This is chloromethylated according to the procedure of Preparation 1A to give 2-chloromethyl-4-spirocyclopropyl-4,5,6,7-tetrahydrosaccharin.
Preparation 23BL
2-Benzyl-4-isopropyl-6-oxo-tetrahydrosaccharin of preparation 21 is reduced with sodium borohydride and methylated with methyl iodide in the presence of sodium hydride to provide 2-benzyl-4-isopropyl-6-methoxy-tetrahydrosaccharin. This is debenzylated and chloromethylated as in preparation 21 to provide 2-chloromethyl-4-isopropyl-6-methoxy-4,5,6,7-tetrahydrosaccharin.
Preparation of The Final Products

EXAMPLE 1
General procedure: A mixture of an excess of N,N-diisopropylethylamine, the appropriate solvent and an excess of the appropriate arylacetic acid or aryloxyacetic acid derivative was stirred for approximately five minutes, then one equivalent of the appropriately substituted 2-halomethylsaccharin derivative was added. The mixture was then stirred for 1-24 hours at the indicated temperature. The reaction mixture was extracted with ethyl acetate, the organic layer was washed with saturated NaHCO.sub.3 and the organic layer was dried over anhydrous Na.sub.2 SO.sub.4. Removal of the solvent in vacuo and purification of the residue by chromatography or recrystallization, when necessary, affords the following compounds of formula I shown in Table I. In the case of Examples 1A, 1B and 1C the starting material was 2-bromomethylsaccharin. For Examples 1D-1H the starting material was 2-chloromethyl-4-isopropylsaccharin and for Examples 1I-1K the starting material was 2-chloromethyl-4-isopropyl-6-methoxysaccharin.

EXAMPLE 9A
To freshly distilled cyclopentadiene (25 mL) at 0.degree. C. was added 4-bromo-2-(tert-butyl)isothiaziol-3(2H) -one 1,1-dioxide (Helv. Chim. Acta., 72, 1416, 1989) (7.9 g, 0.03 mol). After stirring at 0.degree. C. under nitrogen for 16 hr, the reaction mixture was concentrated in vacuo. The residue was purified by filtering through silica gel, eluting with hexanes (500 mL) followed by 20% ethyl acetate in hexanes (500 mL). The latter eluents were concentrated in vacuo to give 9.8 g (100% of the norbornene adduct, 3a-bromo-2-t-butyl-3a,4,7,7a-tetrahydro-4,7-methano-1,2-benzisothiazol-3(2H)-one 1,1-dioxide, as a white solid.
The adduct (0.4 g, 1.2 mmol) in 25 mL of ethyl acetate containing 5% Pd on CaCO.sub.3 (0.2 g) was stirred under one atmosphere of hydrogen for 4 hr, and the reaction mixture was filtered through a pad of silica gel, eluting with ethyl acetate (100 mL). The eluents were concentrated in vacuo and the residue crystallized from hexanes to give 0.4 g (100%) of the bromo norbornane as a white crystalline solid.
To a solution of the bromo norbornane (3.7 g, 0.011 mol) in toluene (25 mL) at 0.degree. C. was added diazabicyclo-nonene (1.37 g, 0.011 mol) in toluene (10 mL). After stirring at 0.degree. C. for 20 min, silica gel (25 g) was added to the reaction mixture. The resulting slurry was loaded on top of a 15 cm pad of silica gel and eluted with 20% ethyl acetate in hexanes (800 mL). The eluents were concentrated in vacuo to give 2.8 g (100%) of the dehydrobrominated compound as a white solid.
The 2-t-butyl-4,5,6,7-tetrahydro-4,7-methano-1,2-benzisothiazol-3(2H)one 1,1-dioxide (2.8 g, 0.011 mol) in trifluoroacetic acid (30 mL) was heated at reflux for 48 hr and let stand at room temperature for 4 days. The resulting mixture was concentrated in vacuo, treated with methanol (20 mL) and evaporated to dryness. The residue was taken up in ether (100 mL) and washed with saturated NaHCO.sub.3 (1.times.50 mL). The layers were separated, the aqueous phase acidified to pH 1 with 2N HCl and extracted with MDC (2.times.100 mL). The combined organic extracts were dried and concentrated in vacuo to give 0.9 g (42%) of the bicyclo (2.2.1) saccharin derivative as a white solid.
A mixture of the bicyclo (2,2,1) saccharin derivative (0.9 g, 5 mmol), chloromethyl phenylsulfide (0.07 g, 7 mmol) and tetrabutylammonium bromide (0.36 g, 0.16 mmol) in toluene (50 mL) was refluxed under nitrogen for 16 hr, cooled to room temperature and evaporated to dryness under vacuum. The residue was purified by flash chromatography on silica gel (100 g) using 100% MDC as the eluent to give 1.05 (72%) of the sulfide as a viscous oil.
The sulfide (1.05 g, 3 mmol) in dichloromethane (100 mL) was treated with sulfuryl chloride (0.66 g, 5 mmol) and stirred for 2 hr. The resulting yellow solution was diluted with MDC (100 mL), washed with saturated NaHCO.sub.3 solution , dried and concentrated in vacuo. The residue was purified by flash chromatography on silica gel (33% MDC in hexanes) to give 0.66 g (81%) of 2-chloromethyl-4,5,6,7-tetrahydro-4,7-methano-1,2-benzisothiazol-3(2H)-one 1,1-dioxide.
It is contemplated that treatment of the 2-chloromethyl compound with .alpha.-methoxyphenylacetic acid, 2-phenyl-2-methylpropionic acid, 2-(4-chlorophenoxy)-2-methylpropionic acid, 4-trifluoromethylphenyl acetic acid, 4-methoxyphenylacetic acid or 4-methylphenylacetic acid, respectively, using procedures similar to those described in Example 2 will produce 2-(.alpha.-methoxyphenylacetyloxymethyl)-4,5,6,7-tetrahydro-4,7-methano-1,2-benzisothiazol-3(2H)-one 1,1-dioxide; 2-(.alpha.,.alpha.-dimethylphenylacetyloxymethyl]-4,5,6,7-tetrahydro-4,7-methano-1,2-benzisothiazol-3(2H)-one 1,1-dioxide; 2-(.alpha.,.alpha.-dimethyl-4-chlorophenoxyacetyloxymethyl)-4,5,7-tetrahydro-4,7-methano-1.2-benzisothiazol-3(2H)-one 1,1-dioxide; 2-(4-trifluoromethylphenyl-acetyloxymethyl)-4,5,6,7-tetrahydro-4,7-methano-1,2-benzisothiazol-3(2H)-one 1,1-dioxide; 2-(4-methoxyphenylacetyloxymethyl)-4,5,6,7-tetrahydro-4,7-methano-1,2-benzisothiazol-3(2H)-one dioxide or 2-(4-methylphenylacetyloxymethyl)-4,5,6,7-tetrahydro-4,7-methano-1,2-benzisothiazol-3(2H)-one 1,1-dioxide.

EXAMPLE 11
Methyl 2,2-dimethylcyclohexan-6-one carboxylate: To a suspension of anhydrous CuI (70.0 g, 0.37 mol) in anhydrous ether (500 mL) at 0.degree. C. was added halide-free methyl lithium (520 mL of 1.4M solution in ether, 0.73 mol). After being stirred at 0.degree. C. for 15 minutes, a solution of 3-methyl-2-cyclohexenone (20.0 g, 0.18 mol) in ether (50 mL) was added and stirring continued for another 1 hr. To the resulting mixture was added THF (50 mL) and HMPA (25 mL) and after 15 min methyl cyanoformate (45.0 g, 0.53 mol) in THF (20 mL) and the reaction warmed to room temperature and stirred for 3 hr.

The combined organic extracts were washed with saturated NH.sub.4 Cl solution (3.times.50 mL), water (2.times.50 mL), brine (1.times.50 mL) and dried (Na.sub.2 SO.sub.4). Removal of the solvent in vacuo and purification by Kugelrohr distillation afforded 34.0 g (99%) of methyl 2,2-dimethyl cyclohexane-6-one carboxylate, bp 80.degree.-84.degree. C./0.6 mm.
The cyclohexanone can be converted to 4,4-dimethyl-4,5,6,7-tetrahydro-2-saccharinylmethyl .alpha.-methoxyphenyl acetate following the procedure described above for Examples 10A-10L.
It should be appreciated that the methods described above would be equally applicable to the preparation of various other specific 4-R.sup.4 -R.sup.5 -2-saccharinylmethyl or 4,5,6,7-tetrahydro-2-saccharinylmethyl aryl or aryloxy acetate derivatives. For example, treatment of an appropriate 4-R.sup.4 -R.sup.5 -2-halomethylsaccharin or 4,5,6,7-tetrahydro-2-halomethylsaccharin derivative with an appropriate aryl or aryloxyacetic acid derivative will produce the desired 4-R.sup.4 -R.sup.5 -2-saccharinylmethyl or 4,5,6,7-tetrahydro-2-saccharinylmethyl aryl or aryloxy acetate derivative, which in turn can undergo functional group transformations such as those described in Examples 3A-3P to produce other 4-R.sup.4 -R.sup.5 -saccharinylmethyl or 4,5,6,7-tetrahydro-2-saccharinylmethyl aryl or aryloxy acetates.
BIOLOGICAL TEST RESULTS
Measurement of the inhibition constant, K.sub.i, of a HLE-inhibitor complex has been described for "truly reversible inhibition constants" usually concerning competitive inhibitors. [Cha, Biochem. Pharmacol., 24, 2177-2185 (1975)]. The compounds of the present invention, however, do not form truly reversible inhibitor complexes but are consumed by the enzyme to some extent. Thus, instead of measuring a K.sub.i, a K.sub.i * is calculated which is defined as the ratio of the k.sub.off /k.sub.on, the rate of reactivation of the enzyme to the rate of inactivation of the enzyme. The values of k.sub.off and k.sub.on are measured and K.sub.i * is then calculated.
The rate of inactivation, k.sub.on, of enzymatic activity was determined for the compounds tested by measuring the enzyme activity of an aliquot of the respective enzyme as a function of time after addition of the test compound. By plotting the log of the enzyme activity against time, an observed rate of inactivation, k.sub.obs, is obtained which can be represented as k.sub.obs =1n2/t.sub.1/2 where t.sub.1/2 is the time required for the enzyme activity to drop by 50%. The rate of inactivation is then equal to ##EQU1## where [I] is the concentration of the inhibiting compound.
The reactivation constant, k.sub.off, is similarly determined, and the inhibition constant, K.sub.i *, is then calculated as
K.sub.i *=k.sub.off /k.sub.on
The values obtained for k.sub.on and K.sub.i * for specific substituted saccharin derivatives are shown in TABLE 4, the compounds being identified by the Example numbers above where their preparations are described.
