Description




RELATED APPLICATIONS




This application claims the priority of Japanese Patent Application No. 11-27604 filed on Feb. 4, 1999, which is incorporated herein by reference.




FIELD OF THE INVENTION




The present invention relates to a (2-substituted oxyphenyl)alkanamide derivative and, in particular, to a (2-substituted oxyphenyl)alkanamide derivative that has excellent hair growth effect.




BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION




At the present time, scalp abnormality due to activation of androgen in an organ such as hair root or sebaceous gland, lowering of blood stream toward hair follicle, excess secretion of sebum, formation of peroxide and the like has been considered as a cause of baldness or hair loss. Accordingly, a compound or composition that can remove or reduce the above-mentioned problems has been generally included into a hair growth promoting composition to promote hair growth and regrowth and to prevent hair loss, for a long time (in the present invention, “hair growth promoting composition” includes hair regrowth promoting composition, and the like).




At present, compounds or crude drug extracts having various functions have been compounded to the hair growth promoting composition. These functions include blood flow promoting action, topical stimulation, hair follicle activating action, antiandrogen action, antiseborrheic action and the like have been known. Examples of drugs having blood flow promoting action include swertia herb extract, vitamin E and its derivative, and benzyl nicotinate. Examples of drugs which promote blood circulation by topical stimulation include capsicum tincture, cantharides tincture, camphor and vanillic acid nonylamide. Examples of drugs having hair follicle activating action include hinokitiol, placental extract, photosensitizing dye, pantothenic acid and derivative thereof. Examples of drugs having antiandrogen action include estradiol and estrone. Examples of drugs having antiseborrheic action include sulfur, thioxolone and vitamin B6.




In addition to these drugs, salicylic acid, resorcine and the like that have corneocyte desquamating action and antibacterial action can be compounded to hair growth promoting composition for the purpose of preventing dandruff. Further, glycyrrhizic acid, menthol and the like can be compounded in order to prevent inflammation of scalp. Furthermore, amino acids, vitamins, extracts of crude drugs and the like can be compounded so as to aliment to hair follicle and activate enzyme activity.




Meanwhile, for example, D (L)-pantolactone (Unexamined Japanese Patent Publication No. Hei 8-26942), 2(1H)-pyridone derivative (Unexamined Japanese Patent Publication No. Hei 8-20521), N


G


-nitro-L-arginine (Unexamined Japanese Patent Publication No. Hei 7-316023), 3-methyleneisoindolin-1-one derivative (Unexamined Japanese Patent Publication No. Hei 7-316022), indole derivative (Unexamined Japanese Patent Publication No. Hei 7-304736) are disclosed in recent patents as drugs having hair regrowth effect, hair growth effect, and hair loss protecting effect.




However, although the drugs described above are compounded to the conventional hair growth promoting compositions, they do not always exhibit sufficient hair regrowth and growth promoting effect.




SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION




In view of the foregoing problem in the prior art, an object of the present invention is to provide a compound, which is excellent in hair growth and regrowth promoting effect on human hair, and a hair growth promoting composition comprising the same as an active ingredient.




As a result of diligent studies of the inventors for attaining the above mentioned objects, it has been found that certain (2-substituted oxyphenyl)alkanamide derivative and its salt have excellent hair growth and regrowth promoting effect, thereby accomplishing the present invention.

As a solvent, for example, a halogenated hydrocarbon such as dichloromethane or chloroform; an aromatic compound such as benzene, toluene, xylene or pyridine; an ether such as tetrahydrofuran or 1,4-dioxane; an amide such as N,N-dimethylformamide or N,N-dimethylacetamide; or a sulfoxide such as dimethylsulfoxide can be used. This reaction can be effected at the temperature within the range of room temperature to 150° C. and, preferably, at room temperature to 100° C. without a solvent.

In the following, an usual synthetic method of Compound (I) from Compound (VI) will be explained.




Compound (I-4)




(1=1, Z=—CONR

—)
















Compound (I-4), for example, can be synthesized by reacting Compound(VI) with an amine (VII) as shown in Reaction Formula B of FIG.

. In this reaction, for example, using phenyl chlorocarbonate, phosgene, diphosgene, triphosgene, di-2-pyridylketone or the like, Compound (VI) is converted into its corresponding carbonate, and then the carbonate is reacted with the amine (VII). As an additive, for example, a base such as triethylamine, N,N-diisopropylethylamine, pyridine or sodium carbonate can be used. As a solvent, for example, a halogenated hydrocarbon such as dichloromethane or chloroform; an aromatic hydrocarbon such as benzene, toluene or xylene; or an ether such as tetrahydrofuran or 1,4-dioxane can be used. While the reaction temperature and reaction time may be changed according to the starting materials and the reagents used, the reaction is usually effected at a temperature within the range of −15° C. to the reflux temperature of the solvent. Specifically, for example, by using pyridine or N,N-diisopropylethylamine as an additive, Compound (VI) is reacted with phenyl chlorocarbonate or triphosgene in a solvent such as chloroform or dichloromethane at a temperature within the range of −15° C. to room temperature to give its corresponding carbonate. Then, the carbonate is reacted with the amine (VII) in the absence or presence of a solvent such as chloroform or dichloromethane at a temperature of room temperature to 100° C., thereby attaining the aimed object. Compound (I-4a) wherein R


6


of Compound (I-4) is a hydrogen atom can be also synthesized by addition reaction of Compound (VI) with an isocyanate (VIII). As an additive for this addition reaction, for example, an acid such as boron trifluoride etherate, hydrochloric acid, aluminum chloride, dialkyltin dichloride or dialkyltin acetate, or a base such as triethylamine, N,N-diisopropylethylamine, pyridine, N-methylmorpholine, N-methylpiperidine or sodium acetate can be used. As a solvent, for example, a halogenated hydrocarbon such as dichloromethane or chloroform; an aromatic hydrocarbon such as benzene, toluene or xylene; an ether such as tetrahydrofuran or 1,4-dioxane; or an amide such as N,N-dimethylformamide or N,N-dimethylacetamide can be used. While the reaction temperature and reaction time may be changed according to the starting materials and the reagents used, the reaction is usually effected at a temperature within the range of 0° C. to the reflux temperature of the solvent. Specifically, for example, by using triethylamine as an additive, Compound (VI) is reacted with the isocyanate (VIII) in a solvent such as dichloromethane at a temperature within the range of 0° C. to room temperature, thereby attaining the aimed object.




Such isocyanates can be commercially available or obtained by a reaction wherein the corresponding amine (VII) is reacted with phosgene, diphosgene, triphosgene or the like in the absence or presence of a base, or by a reaction wherein the corresponding carboxylic acid HO


2


C—A is reacted with diphenylphosphoryl azide or the like in the presence of a base.




Compound (I-5)




(1=1, Z=—CO—)
















Compound (I-5) can be synthesized by introducing an acyl group —CO—A into a hydroxyl group of Compound (VI). For example, as shown in Reaction Formula C of

FIG. 3

, this reaction can be effected by a dehydrating condensation reaction of Compound (VI) with a carboxylic acid (IX), a reaction with an acid halide (X), an ester interchange reaction with an ester (XI) or the like.




As for the dehydrating condensation reaction with the carboxylic acid (IX), a method that the both compounds are directly reacted usually in the presence of an acidic catalyst, a method that the carboxylic acid (IX) is converted into its active ester and then the active ester is reacted with Compound (VI) or the like can be used. In the former method, as an acidic catalyst, a mineral acid such as hydrochloric acid, sulfuric acid or boric acid, an organic acid such as aromatic sulfonic acid, a Lewis acid such as boron trifluoride etherate, or the like can be used. As a solvent, an aromatic hydrocarbon such as benzene, toluene, or xylene; an ether such as tetrahydrofuran or 1,4-dioxane; an amide such as N,N-dimethylformamide or N,N-dimethylacetamide; a halogenated hydrocarbon such as dichloromethane or dichloroethane; or the like can be used. While the reaction temperature and reaction time may be changed according to the starting materials and the reagents used, the reaction is usually effected at a temperature within the range of 0° C. to the reflux temperature of the solvent. Specifically, for example, concentrated sulfuric acid is added to a solution of Compound (VI) and the carboxylic acid (IX) in dichloroethane and then the reaction is effected at a temperature within the range of room temperature to the reflux temperature of the solvent, thereby attaining the aimed object. Also, a mixture of Compound (VI), the carboxylic acid (IX) and boron trifluoride etherate is reacted at a temperature within the range of room temperature to the reflux temperature of the solvent, thereby attaining the aimed object.




In the latter method proceeding by way of the active ester of the carboxylic acid (IX), by using trifluoroacetic acid anhydride, N,N-dicyclohexylcarbodiimide (DCC) or the like, the carboxylic acid (IX) is converted into its corresponding active ester and then the active ester is reacted with Compound (VI). As a solvent, benzene, tetrahydrofuran, N,N-dimethylformamide, dichloromethane or the like can be used. While the reaction temperature and reaction time may be changed according to the starting materials and the reagents used, the reaction is usually effected at a temperature within the range of 0° C. to the reflux temperature of the solvent. Specifically, for example, trifluoroacetic acid anhydride is added to a solution of the carboxylic acid (IX) in benzene at a temperature within the range of 0° C. to room temperature to convert the carboxylic acid (IX) into its active ester and then the latter is reacted with Compound (VI), thereby attaining the aimed object.




The reaction with the acid halide (X) can be usually effected in the presence of a base. As a base, for example, an inorganic base such as sodium hydroxide or potassium hydroxide; or an organic base such as pyridine, dimethylaniline or triethylamine can be used. As a solvent, benzene, tetrahydrofuran, 1,4-dioxane, N,N-dimethylformamide or the like can be used. While the reaction temperature and reaction time may be changed according to the starting materials and the reagents used, the reaction is usually effected at a temperature within the range of 0° C. to the reflux temperature of the solvent. Specifically, for example, the acid halide (X) is added to a solution containing Compound (VI) and pyridine in dichloromethane and then the reaction is effected at a temperature within the range of 0° C. to room temperature, thereby attaining the aimed object. Also, sodium hydroxide aqueous solution is dropwise added to a mixture of Compound (VI) and acid halide (X), thereby attaining the aimed object. X in the Reaction Formula represents a halogen atom. The definition of X throughout the rest of this specification remains the same.




In the ester interchange reaction with the ester (XI), as a catalyst, an acid such as sulfuric acid or p-toluenesulfonic acid, or a base such as potassium alkoxide or titanium (IV) alkoxide can be used. The reaction can be effected in the absence or presence of a solvent. In this reaction, it is preferable that either Compound (VI) or the ester (XI) is used excessively, or that an alcohol L


4


OH produced during the reaction is removed from the reaction system in view of the reaction property. As a solvent, benzene, toluene, tetrahydrofuran, 1,4-dioxane, N,N-dimethylformamide, dichloromethane or the like can be used. While the reaction temperature and reaction time may be changed according to the starting materials and the reagents used, the reaction is usually effected at a temperature within the range of 0° C. to 200° C. and, preferably, room temperature to the reflux temperature of the solvent. Specifically, for example, titanium(IV) alkoxide is added to a solution containing Compound (VI) and the ester (XI) in benzene and then the reaction is effected at a temperature within the range of room temperature to the reflux temperature of the solvent, thereby attaining the aimed object. As for L


4


of the Reaction Formula, any of groups can be used if they form esters usually used for this ester interchange reaction. Examples of L


4

.




In this reaction, Compound (VI) is converted into its corresponding alkoxide by using metallic sodium, sodium hydride or the like and then the alkoxide is reacted with the halide (XII). Also, Compound (VI) can be reacted with halide (XII) in the presence of a base directly. As a base, sodium amide, potassium carbonate, sodium hydroxide, barium oxide, silver oxide or the like can be used. As a solvent, an aromatic hydrocarbon such as benzene, toluene, or xylene; an ether such as tetrahydrofuran or 1,4-dioxane; an amide such as N,N-dimethylformamide, N,N-dimethylacetamide or hexamethylphosphorylamide; acelonitrile; dimethyl sulfoxide; or the like can be used. While the reaction temperature and reaction time may be changed according to the starting materials and the reagents used, the reaction is usually effected at a temperature within the range of 0° C. to the reflux temperature of the solvent. Specifically, for example, Compound (VI) is reacted with the halide (XII) in acetone in the presence of potassium carbonate at a temperature within the range of room temperature to the reflux temperature of the solvent, thereby attaining the aimed object.




In addition, Compound (I-6) can be synthesized by a substitution reaction of Compound (VI) with a suitable ester compound such as sulfonate, phosphate or orthate, or by addition reaction of Compound (VI) with a suitable alkene.

together form a phthalimide type amino protecting group, by using hydrazine as a deprotection agent, the reaction is effected in ethanol at a temperature within the range of room temperature to the reflux temperature of the solvent, thereby attaining the aimed object.




In the reactions at the third and forth steps of Reaction Formula F, when R


2


and R


3


are lower alkyl or benzyl groups, an inorganic base such as potassium carbonate, potassium hydroxide, sodium hydroxide or sodium hydride; or an organic base such as triethylamine or pyridine can be used as a base. Specifically, for example, by using potassium carbonate as a base, the reaction is effected in a solvent such as acetone or N,N-dimethylformamide at a temperature within the range of room temperature to the reflux temperature of the solvent, thereby attaining the aimed object.




In a similar manner to the above, by reacting Compound (I-3a) with about twice equivalent amount of halide (XVI) in the presence of a base, a compound wherein R


2


and R


3

The reactions in this Reaction Formula F can also be applied for synthesis of Compound (I-1).




Also, Compound (I) can be synthesized as shown in Reaction Formula G of FIG.

. Namely, Compound (XIX) synthesized from Compound (XVIII) is deprotected and then reacted with the amine (V) to give Compound (I). In Reaction Formula G, R′ is a carboxyl-protecting group such as tert-butyl, benzyl, methoxymethyl or trityl group. Also, other carboxyl-protecting group can be used unless it is adverse to the object of this reaction.




For the reaction at the first step of Reaction Formula G, reactions appropriately selected from Reaction Formulae B to F can be used. For the deprotecting reaction at the second step, various kind of known methods can be used according to the type of carboxyl-protecting group R′. For example, in the case where R′ is a tert-butyl group, the reaction is effected in trifluoroacetic acid at room temperature. Also, in the case where R′ is a benzyl group, for example, by using palladium-carbon as a catalyst, the reaction is effected in a solvent such as ethanol or ethyl acetate in a hydrogen gas atmosphere at a temperature within the range of room temperature to the reflux temperature of the solvent, thereby attaining the aimed object. The reaction at the third step can be effected by known amide-forming reaction.




Although a compound wherein R


5


or R


6


in Compound (I) is a lower alkyl, a lower acyl or a lower alkylcarbamoyl group can be synthesized according to the above-mentioned Reaction Formulae, it can be also synthesized as follows: first, a compound wherein R

or R


6


of Compound (I) is a hydrogen atom is synthesized according to the above-mentioned Reaction Formulae; and then the resulting compound is reacted with a suitable halide such as alkyl halide, acyl halide or alkylcarbamoyl halide in the absence or presence of a base.
