DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION
Certain compounds of the invention may exist in isomeric forms. The invention contemplates all such isomers both in pure form and in admixture, including racemic mixtures.
The compounds of the invention of formula I can exist in unsolvated as well as solvated forms, including hydrated forms, e.g, hemihydrate. In general, the solvated forms, with pharmaceutically acceptable solvents such as water, ethanol and the like are equivalent to the unsolvated forms for purposes of the invention.
Certain compounds of the invention are acidic in nature, e.g. those compounds which possess a carboxyl or phenolic hydroxyl group. These compounds may form pharmaceutically acceptable salts. Examples of such salts are the sodium, potassium, calcium, aluminum, gold, copper and silver salts. Also contemplated are salts formed with pharmaceutically acceptable amines such as ammonia, alkyl amines, hydroxy alkylamines, N-methylglucamine and the like and zwitterions.
Certain basic compounds of the invention are pharmaceutically acceptable salts, e.g., acid addition salts, quaternary ammonium salts and N-oxides. For example, thiazolidine moieties may form acid addition salts with strong acid. Examples of suitable acids for salt formation are hydrochloric, sulfuric, phosphoric, acetic, citric, oxalic, malonic, salicylic, malic, fumaric, succinic, ascorbic, maleic, methanesulfonic and other mineral and carboxylic acids well known to those skilled in the art. The salts are prepared by contacting the free base form with a sufficient amount of the desired acid to produce a salt in the conventional manner. The free base forms may be regenerated by treating the salt with a suitable dilute aqueous base solution such as dilute aqueous sodium hydroxide, potassium carbonate, ammonia and sodium bicarbonate.
The quaternary ammonium salts are typically prepared by reaction of a tertiary amino group in a compound of formula I with a compound containing a suitable leaving group, such as an alkyl iodide, etc.
For example, in the definition of R.sup.3, where B is substituted heteroalkyl, substituted heterocycloalkyl or substituted heteroaryl, B may contain a quaternary nitrogen. The compounds of the invention which possess an aromatic ring nitrogen atom, as defined above, may also form quaternary ammonium salts at the aromatic ring nitrogen atom. Where A in the definition of V is --O--, or --S--, and B is heteroalkyl, substituted heteroalkyl, heterocycloalkyl, substituted heterocycloalkyl, heteroaryl or substituted heteroaryl, the heteroatom in the B group is located at any position other than attached to the A group.
The free base forms differ from their respective salt forms somewhat in certain physical properties, such as solubility in polar solvents, but the salts are otherwise equivalent to their respective free base forms for purposes of the invention.
All such acid, base and quaternary salts are intended to be pharmaceutically acceptable salts within the scope of the invention and all acid and base salts are considered equivalent to the free forms of the corresponding compounds for purposes of the invention.
The compounds of the present invention are produced by the following processes:
(A) a compound of the formula ##STR6## is reacted with a compound of the formula
L.sup.2 --A--B i.sub.2
wherein R.sup.1, R.sup.2, R.sup.4, T, U, A and B are defined previously and L.sup.1 and L.sup.2 are leaving groups;
(B) to produce a compound of formula I having a positive charge on radical B and A is a direct bond between U and B, reacting a compound of the formula i.sub.1 with a compound of the formula
B i.sub.3
wherein B is a free compound that is the same as the B radical defined previously without a bond;
(C) to produce a compound of formula I wherein T is --OCO.sub.2 --, reacting a compound of the formula ##STR7## wherein R.sup.1, R.sup.2, R.sup.4 and L.sup.1 are as defined previously with a
compound of the formula
L.sup.2 --OUV i.sub.5
when L.sup.2 is a leaving group and U and V are as defined previously;
(D) to produce a compound of formula I wherein R.sup.1 is C(O)NR.sup.5 R.sup.6 wherein R.sup.5 is H and R.sup.6 is alkyl, alkylating a compound of the formula ##STR8## wherein, in the above processes, any functional groups are protected if necessary or desired, followed if necessary or desired by one or more of the following steps:
(a) removing one or more protective groups,
(b) converting a compound of formula I to a different compound of formula I,
(c) converting the so formed compound to a salt or solvate, and
(d) converting the so formed compound to a zwitterion.
The above processes are typically performed in the presence of inert solvent at temperatures that do not exceed the boiling point of the solvent. Typical leaving groups L.sup.1 are --OSO.sub.2 CH.sub.3, --Br, --I, and --Cl. Typical leaving groups L.sup.2 are --H, and a metal ion. Of course, many other leaving groups will suffice.
The intermediates i.sub.1, i.sub.2, i.sub.3, i.sub.4, i.sub.5, and i.sub.6 are known or may be prepared in accordance with the following reaction schemes and preparative examples.
Compounds II and III below are conventional starting materials, or may be prepared using conventional methods.
In compound II, and throughout the reaction scheme, R.sup.2 is alkyl, trifluoromethyl, aryl or arylalkyl.
In compound II where R.sup.2 is aryl, said compound may be prepared by conventional methods, taking into account, in particular Searles, et. al., J. Org. Chem. Vol.24, p. 1839 (1960) where R.sup.2 is phenyl. The teachings of Searles are incorporated herein by reference.
In compound III, R.sup.6 is alkyl containing 6 to 22 carbon atoms, as defined above. ##STR9##
With reference to structural formula I, as represented by formula IV above, R.sup.1 represents --C(O)--NHR.sup.6. R.sup.1 and --C(O)--NHR.sup.6 are used below interchangably when appropriate.
In compound IV above as well as throughout the reaction scheme, when R.sup.5 in structural formula I represents hydrogen, R.sup.5 is designated as H.

When primary or secondary amines are reacted with compound XII above, secondary and tertiary amines are formed in compound XIII, respectively. To prepare a quaternary ammonium compound, a tertiary amine is typically reacted with compound XII. Alternatively, compound XII may be reacted with a primary or secondary amine, and the resulting secondary or tertiary amine may be reacted with a suitable reagent to form a quaternary compound.
To prepare a compound of the invention where R.sup.3 contains a phosphate group, i.e. R.sup.3 is T--U--V where ##STR13## the following general reaction sequence may be utilized. ##STR14##
Depending upon the basicity of the A--B moiety the phosphate group of compound XVII may transfer its hydrogen to the A--B moiety becoming negatively charged, thereby forming a zwitterionic compound XVII. Zwitterionic forms of the compounds falling within the scope of formula I are included as part of this invention.
To prepare a compound of formula I where carbon atom number 2 in the glycerol backbone is dialkyl substituted, the following general reaction scheme may be utilized. In the reaction scheme, R.sup.4 is typically methyl or ethyl, but any other appropriate group could be substituted therefor. R.sup.2 and R.sup.4 may be the same or different. ##STR15##
The diester XXI may be reduced to the corresponding diol without affecting the R.sup.2 and R.sup.4 substituents at carbon atom 2. ##STR16##
After protecting the oxygen at carbon atom 3, the carbamate nitrogen in the side chain attached to carbon atom 1 of the glycerol backbone may be substituted with a group R.sup.5, where R.sup.5 is other than hydrogen and the 3-hydroxy substituent may undergo deprotection. ##STR17##
Phosphorylation of compound XXV may be performed as described with respect to compound X. Alternatively, an alkyl side chain --(CH.sub.2).sub.e -- may be added to the hydroxyl group at carbon atom 3 to form an ether as was previously described with respect to compound X. ##STR18##
The silyl protecting group may be removed by conventional means, and the resulting hydroxyalkyl sidechain can be mesylated. ##STR19##
The mesylate compound XXVIII readily reacts with H--A--B or A--B , to form a compound falling within the scope of formula I.
To make the compounds of the invention where R.sup.4 contains a thioether, compound XXX may be treated with base and 1-alkylthiosulfonyl-4-methyl benzene to form compound XXXI below. ##STR20## Compound XXXI may then be reduced at positions 1 and 3, to form a corresponding 1,3-diol. ##STR21##
Compound XXXII may be treated with the appropriate alkyl isocyanate, under an inert atmosphere, with appropriate heating as necessary. Protection, N-alkylation, and deprotection steps may be performed as appropriate. ##STR22##
The 3-hydroxy compound XXXVI may be alkylated to form compound XXXVII using a protected alkyl chain reagent, which then undergoes deprotection. ##STR23## Compound XXXVIII may be subjected to mesylate formation thereby making compound XXXIX, and subsequent mesylate displacement with, H--A--B or A--B as appropriate to form a compound of formula I.
To prepare a compound of formula I where position two of the glycerol backbone is substituted with a sulfoxide or sulfone, the thioether compound XXXIX maybe oxidized to the sulfoxide or sulfone using equimolar or an excess amount of metachloroperbenzoic acid (m-CPBA), respectively. ##STR24## Displacement of the mesylate protecting group may be performed as described above.
To prepare compounds of the invention represented by formula I where T in the definition of R3 represents --NR.sup.a --SO.sub.2 --, the following modifications to the general reaction scheme may be utilized. ##STR25##
To prepare compounds falling within the scope of formula I where U in the definition of R.sup.3 is ##STR26## the following sequence may be utilized. The diol compound LII may be monobrominated in the presence of triphenyl phosphine with carbon tetrabromide and the remaining hydroxy function is protected by silylation. ##STR27## Compound LIII may be utilized in a reaction with any appropriately protected intermediate compound containing a 3-hydroxy group to alkylate said intermediate at position 3. ##STR28##
To prepare a compound of the invention where T in the definition of R.sup.3 represents a carbonate moiety, --OCO.sub.2 --, a suitable alcohol may first be treated with a strong base to form the anion, then treated with trichloromethyl chloro formate, to yield a compound LVIII. ##STR29##
Compound LVIII may then be treated with V--U--O.sup.- Na.sup.+, to yield compound LIX. ##STR30##
By substituting an appropriate primary or secondary amine into the preceding reaction, a carbamate (T=--OC(O)NR.sup.a --) may be prepared. ##STR31##
To prepare the reverse carbamate, the intermediate compound below may be treated with trichloromethyl chloroformate, and the intermediate product LX treated with V--U--O.sup.- Na.sup.+. ##STR32##
Compounds LIX and LXI may be alkylated or acylated on the carbamate nitrogen by treating with an appropriate base, such as Nail, followed by a suitable alkyating or acylating agent, such as CH.sub.3 I and CH.sub.3 C(O)Cl, respectively.
For preparing compounds of the invention where V is A--B and A represents thioether, an appropriate mercapto compound is treated with strong base to form a sulfur anion. The sulfur anion may then be reacted with a mesylate compound, such as compound XII, causing mesylate displacement. ##STR33##
Similarly the ester (A=--O--C(O)--) and the alkylether (A=--O--(CH.sub.2).sub.n --) may be prepared. ##STR34##
Certain compounds of the invention are prepared from starting materials containing an endo and an exo nitrogen. End products of the invention may therefore contain an exo or endo nitrogen linkage. As used herein, "exo" refers to a nitrogen substituents group, whereas "endo" refers to a nitrogen contained within the ring.
To prepare compounds of the invention where B represents substituted heteroalkyl, the mesylate compound XII is treated with the substituted heteroalkyl containing the desired substitutent, which may be protected, if necessary. The protecting group, if present, is thereafter cleaved to give the compound of the invention. ##STR35##
If B represents heterocycloalkyl which contains an amino group, compounds where A is a direct bond are prepared as described above from the mesylate intermediate.
If B represents a substituted heterocycloalkyl group, the substituent may or may not require protection, and the protected form of B is used to displace the mesylate intermediate. The compound may then be deprotected to form a compound of the invention.
To make a compound where A is a direct bond and B represents ##STR36## the mesylate intermediate XII is displaced with a cyano compound, which is subsequently treated with an alcohol in the presence of acid to form an imino ester, which is then treated with a primary or secondary amine. ##STR37##
The compounds of the invention possess platelet activating factor ("PAF") antagonistic activity. For example, PAF is an important mediator of such processes as platelet aggregation, smooth muscle contraction (especially in lung tissue), vascular permeability and neutrophil activation. Recent evidence implicates PAF as an underlying factor involved in airway hyperreactivity. The compounds of the invention are therefore useful where PAF is a factor in the disease or disorder. This includes allergic diseases such as asthma, adult respiratory distress syndrome, urticaria and inflammatory diseases such as rheumatoid arthritis and osteoarthritis.
The PAF antagonistic properties of these compounds may be demonstrated by use of standard pharmacological testing procedures as described below. These test procedures are standard tests used to determine PAF antagonistic activity and to evaluate the usefulness of said compounds for counteracting the biological effects of PAF. The in vitro assay is a simple screening test, while the in vivo test mimics clinical use of the compounds described herein.
PAF Antagonism Assay
A. In vitro Assay:
Preparation of platelet-rich plasma (PRP): Human blood (50 ml) was collected from healthy male donors in an anticoagulant solution (5 ml) containing sodium citrate (3.8%) and dextrose (2%). Blood was centrifuged at 110.times. g for 15 min. and the supernatant (PRP) carefully transferred into a polypropylene tube. Platelet-poor-plasma (PPP) was prepared by centrifuging PRP at 12,000.times. g for 2 min. (Beckman Microfuge B). PRP was used within 3 hours of drawing the blood.
Platelet Aggregation Assay: When an aggregating agent such as PAF is added to PRP, platelets aggregate. An aggregometer quantifies this aggregation by measuring light transmission through PRP and comparing to PPP. The aggregation assays were performed using a dual channel aggregometer (Model 440, Chrono-Log Corp., Havertown, Penn.). PRP (0.45 ml)in aggregometer cuvettes was continually stirred (37.degree. C). Solutions of test compounds or vehicle were added to the PRP, and after incubation for 2 min., 10-15 .varies.I aliquots of PAF solution were added so as to achieve a final concentration of 1-5.times.10.sup.-8 M. Incubations were continued until the increase in light transmission reached a maximum (usually 2 min). Values for inhibition were calculated by comparing maximal aggregation obtained in the absence and the presence of the compound. For each experiment, a standard PAF antagonist such as alprazolam was used as a positive internal control. The inhibitory concentration (IC.sub.50)is the concentration of compound in micromoles at which 50% of the aggregation is inhibited, as measured by the light transmission through each sample of PRP as compared to PPP. The test results are shown below in Table A.

Non-sensitized guinea pigs are fasted overnight, and the following morning are anesthetized with 0.9 ml/kg i.p. of dialurethane (0.1 g/ml of diallybarbituric acid, 0.4 g/ml of ethyl urea and 0.4 g/ml of urethane). The trachea is cannulated and the animals are ventilated by a Harvard rodent respirator at 55 strokes/min. with a stroke volume of 4 ml. A side arm to the tracheal cannula is connected to a Harvard pressure transducer to obtain a continuous measure of intratracheal pressure, which is recorded on a Harvard polygraph. The jugular vein is cannulated for the administration of compounds. The animals are challenged i.v. with PAF (0.4 ug/kg in isotonic saline containing 0.25% BSA) and the peak increase in inflation pressure that occurs within 5 min. after challenge is recorded. Test compounds are administered either orally (2 hrs. prior to PAF as a suspension in 0.4% methylcellulose vehicle) or intravenously (10 min. prior to PAF as a solution in dimethylsulfoxide).
As may be seen from the data in Table A above, the compounds of formula I are effective PAF antagonists useful for the treatment of allergy and inflammation. The methods of treating allergy and inflammation are part of the invention described herein.
When used for the treatment of allergy, the compounds may be administered by any conventional route of administration in an amount ranging from about 0.001 mg/kg to about 100 mg/kg per day, in single or multiple daily doses.
Similarly, when used for the treatment of inflammation, the compounds may be administered by any conventional route of administration in an amount ranging from about 0.001 mg/kg to about 100 mg/kg per day, in single or multiple daily doses.
For preparing pharmaceutical compositions containing a compound of the invention, inert, pharmaceutically acceptable carriers can be either solid or liquid. Solid form preparations include powders, tablets, dispersible granules, capsules, cachets and suppositories. A solid carrier can be one or more substances which may also act as diluents, flavoring agents, solubilizers, lubricants, suspending agents, binders or tablet disintegrating agents; it can also be an encapsulating material. In powders, the carrier is a finely divided solid which is in admixture with the finely divided active compound. In the tablet the active compound is mixed with a carrier having the necessary binding properties in suitable proportions and compacted in the shape and size desired. The powders and tablets may be comprised of from about 5 to about 70 percent active ingredient. Suitable solid carriers include magnesium carbonate, magnesium stearate, talc, sugar, lactose, pectin, dextrin, starch, gelatin, tragacanth, methylcellulose, sodium carboxymethylcellulose, a low melting wax, cocoa butter and the like. The term "preparation" is intended to include the formulation of the active compound with an encapsulating material a serving as a carrier, thereby providing a capsule in which the active component (with or without other carriers) is surrounded by the carrier, which is thus in association with it. Similarly, cachets are included. Tablets, powders, cachets and capsules can be used as solid dosage forms suitable for oral administration.
For preparing suppositories, a low melting wax such as a mixture of fatty acid glycerides or cocoa butter is first melted, and the active ingredient is dispersed homogeneously therein as by stirring. The molten homogeneous mixture is then poured into convenient sized molds, allowed to cool and thereby solidify.
Liquid form preparations include solutions, suspensions and emulsions. As an example may be mentioned water or water-propylene glycol solutions for parenteral injection. Liquid preparations can also be formulated in solution in polyethylene glycol and/or polypropylene glycol, which may contain water. Aqueous solutions suitable for oral use can be prepared by adding the active component in water and adding suitable colorants, flavors, stabilizing, sweetening, solubilizing and thickening agents as desired. Aqueous suspensions suitable for oral use can be made by dispersing the finely divided active component in water with viscous material, i.e., natural or synthetic gums, resins, methylcellulose, sodium carboxymethylcellulose and other well-known suspending agents.
Liquid form preparations may also include solutions for intranasal administration.
Aerosol preparations suitable for inhalation may include solutions and solids in powder form, which may be in combination with a pharmaceutically acceptable carrier, such as an inert compressed gas. Inhalation aerosols may be packaged in a pressure resistant container, which may have a metered dose feature suitable for administration into the oral cavity for inhalation, or into the nasal passageways, thereby delivering a precise amount of aerosol per use.
Also included are solid form preparations which are intended to be converted, shortly before use, to liquid form preparations for either oral or parenteral administration. Such liquid forms include solutions, suspensions and emulsions. These particular solid form preparations are most conveniently provided in unit dose form and as such are used to provide a single liquid dosage unit. Alternately, sufficient solid may be provided so that after conversion to liquid form, multiple individual liquid doses may be obtained by measuring predetermined volumes of the liquid form preparation as with a syringe, teaspoon or other volumetric container. When multiple liquid doses are so prepared, it is preferred to maintain the unused portion of said liquid doses at low temperature (i.e., under refrigeration) in order to retard possible decomposition. The solid form preparations intended to be converted to liquid form may contain, in addition to the active material, flavorants, colorants, stabilizers, buffers, artificial and natural sweeteners, dispersants, thickeners, solubilizing agents and the like. The solvent utilized for preparing the liquid form preparation may be water, isotonic water, ethanol, glycerine, propylene glycol and the like as well as mixtures thereof. Naturally, the solvent utilized will be chosen with regard to the route of administration, for example, liquid preparations containing large amounts of ethanol are not suitable for parenteral use.
The compounds of the invention may also be deliverable transdermally. The transdermal compositions can take the form of creams, lotions, aerosols and/or emulsions and can be included in a transdermal patch of the matrix or reservoir type as are conventional in the art for this purpose.
Preferably, the pharmaceutical preparation is in unit dosage form. In such form, the preparation is subdivided into unit doses containing appropriate quantities of the active component, e.g., an effective amount to achieve the desired purpose. The unit dosage form can be a packaged preparation, the package containing discrete quantities of preparation, for example, packeted tablets, capsules and powders in vials or ampoules. The unit dosage form can also be a capsule, cachet or tablet itself or it can be the appropriate number of any of these in packaged form. The compositions can, if desired, also contain other therapeutic agents.
The quantity of active compound in a unit dose of preparation may be varied or adjusted from about 0.001 mg to 1000 mg, more preferably from about 1 mg to 100 mg, according to the particular application.
The actual dosage employed may be varied depending upon the requirements of the patient and the severity of the condition being treated. Determination of the proper dosage for a particular situation is within the skill of the art. Generally, treatment is initiated with smaller dosages which are less than the optimum dose of the compound. Thereafter, the dosage is increased by small increments until the optimum effect under the circumstances is reached. For convenience, the total daily dosage may be divided and administered in portions during the day if desired.
The amount and frequency of administration of the compounds of the invention and the pharmaceutically acceptable salts thereof will be regulated according to the judgement of the attending clinician considering such factors as age, condition and size of the patient as well as severity of the symptom being treated. A typical recommended dosage regimen for oral administration is from 0.25 to 100 mg/day, preferably 10 to 20 mg/day, in two to four divided doses to achieve relief of the symptoms.
