Abstract
The present invention describes novel 2,4-disubstituted 1,3-dioxolanes having the formula I ##STR1## wherein R.sup.1 represents a long chain alkyl group; X is a covalent single bond, a carbonyl group, a carboxyl group, a carbamoyl group or a --O--P(.dbd.O)(O.sup.z)-- group; z is a negative charge (-) when q is zero, or z is an hydrogen atom when q is one; n is an integer from 2 to 10; R.sup.2, R.sup.3 and R.sup.4 are lower alkyl groups, or R.sup.2 R.sup.3 R.sup.4 N.sup.+ represents an aromatic cyclic ammonium group or R.sup.2 R.sup.3 R.sup.4 N.sup.+ represents a non-aromatic cyclic ammonium group in which two of the groups (R.sup.2, R.sup.3 or R.sup.4) form a non-aromatic ring together with the quaternary nitrogen atom; and A.sup.- is a pharmaceutically acceptable anion. These compounds are in vitro inhibitors of the platelet aggregation induced by the platelet activating factor (PAF) and, thus, useful for the treatment of the diseases in which this substance is involved. On the other hand, some of these compounds have hypotensive activity without provoking activation of the platelets.
Description

FIELD OF THE INVENTION
The present invention relates to new derivatives of 2,4-disubstituted 1,3-dioxolane with a potent antagonist activity of the platelet activating factor (PAF) and/or a hypotensive activity similar to PAF, together with a process for their preparation. The invention also relates to the pharmaceutical preparations which contain these compounds, and their use in the treatment of diseases in which PAF is involved, such as allergic and bronchial asthma, platelet aggregation disorders, septic shock, hypertension, etc.
BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THE PRIOR ART
The platelet activating factor (PAF), or (1-O-alkyl-2-acetyl-sn-glyceryl-3-phosphorylcholine), also called acetyl glyceryl ether phosphorylcholine (AGEPC) or PAF-acether is a natural phospholipid synthesized by different cells (basophiles, macrophages, neutrophiles, platelets) and tissues (heart, lung and kidney) of the organism. (Roubin et al. in "Lymphokines" Ed. E. Pick, Acad. Press. New York, p. 249, 1983; Vargaftig et al., Ann. N.Y. Acad. Sci., 1981, 370, 119; Pinckard et al., Int. Arch. Allergy Appl. Immun., 1981, 66, 127.
PAF was described for first the time as a potent platelet aggregating agent (Benveniste et al., J. Exp. Med., 1972, 136) and later it was demonstrated that it had other biological activities in vivo such as peripheral vasodilatation, increase of the vascular permeability, induction of bronchoconstriction and hyperreactivity of the respiratory tract (Mazzoni et al., Proc. Physiol. Soc. Univ. Coll. Meet., Mar. 1985). PAF also produces immediate hypotension followed by pulmonary and renal hypertension in rats (Blank et al., Biochem. Biophys. Res. Commun., 1979, 90, 1194), guinea pigs (Feuerstein, et al., Circul. Shock, 1984, 13, 255), rabbits (Muirhead et al., Hypertension, 1981, 3, 107) and dogs (Otsuka et al., J. Exp. Med., 1972, 136, 1356), and it has been rated as the most potent ulcerogenic agent described until now.
Consequently, PAF is a mediator that is implicated in a large set of pathological processes such as asthma, septic shock, transplant rejection, thrombosis, ulceration, inflammation and renal diseases.
Even though its mechanism of action is still not known with precision, some studies show that the biological activities of PAF involve the existence of a specific receptor. Recently, it has been possible the isolation of one of these receptors from human platelets and it has been identified as a protein with a molecular weight of 160.000 daltons (Nishihira et al., Tohoku J. Exp. Med., 1985, 147, 145). On the other hand, the capacity to inhibit the binding of .sup.3 H-PAF to their receptors is well correlated with the amount of PAF needed to provoke the in vitro and in vivo observed effects. These facts indicate that the compound that act as specific antagonists of PAF could result of interest for the treatment of all those pathological processes related directly or indirectly with PAF.
Until now, some families of non cyclic derivatives of glycerol have demonstrated to have PAF antagonist activity (for example, the compounds described in EP 147768EP 146258, EP 138559, EP 157609, JP 57/165394, JP 58/133116, JP 58/35116, among others).
The new compounds of the present invention not only are structurally different from any of the described compounds in the above mentioned prior art but also, and surprisingly show a remarkable antagonist activity of PAF and/or an hypotensive action. In fact, never before 2,4-disubstituted derivatives of 1,3-dioxolane have been used as PAF antagonist substances.
On the other hand, there are two references in the literature (J. Org. Chem., 1967, 32, 1623; Ber. Bunsenges. Phys. Chem., 1987, 82, 883) in relation with a similar structure to the ones described in the present invention. Nevertheless, these compounds have never been used as PAF antagonist agents.





DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION
The present invention relates to novel 2,4-disubstituted derivatives of 1,3-dioxolane having the general formula I ##STR2## where R.sup.1 represents a linear or branched alkyl, alkenyl or alkynyl group, of 10 to 24 carbon atoms;
X is a simple covalent linkage (that is, it does not represent any group) or is one of the following groups --C(.dbd.O)--, --O--C(.dbd.O)--, --NH--C(.dbd.O)--, --NR.sup.5 --C(.dbd.O)--, or --O--P(.dbd.O) (O.sup.z)--, R.sup.5 being a lower alkyl or acyl group and with the condition that when z is a negative charge (-), q is zero, and when z is an hydrogen atom, q is one;
n is an integer 2 to 10;
R.sup.2, R.sup.3 and R.sup.4 are lower alkyl groups (with the exception that, when simultaneously R.sup.1 is n--C.sub.15 H.sub.31, n--C.sub.15 H.sub.29 or C.sub.17 H.sub.33 and X is --O--P(.dbd.O) (O.sup.z)--, then R.sup.2, R.sup.3 and R.sup.4 can not be three methyl groups),
or R.sup.2 R.sup.3 R.sup.4 N.sup.+ represents an aromatic cyclic ammonium group (like thiazolium, benzothiazolium, oxazolium, pyridinium, quinolinium or isoquinolinium), that can contain one or more substituents in the ring (lower alkyl, hydroxyl, lower hydroxyalkyl, amino, lower aminoalkyl, carbamoyl or ureido),
or R.sup.2 R.sup.3 R.sup.4 N.sup.+ represents a non-aromatic cyclic group, in which two of the substituents (R.sup.2, R.sup.3 or R.sup.4) form a ring together with the nitrogen atom (like morpholinium) and the remaining group is hydrogen or a lower alkyl group;
A.sup.- is a pharmaceutically acceptable anion such as halide (chloride, bromide or iodide), lower alkylsulfonate (like p-toluenesulfonate) or carboxylate.
In this context the terms lower alkyl and lower acyl groups designate, respectively, the R-- and RCO-- groups in which R is linear or branched and has 1 to 5 carbon atoms.
If desired, the anion A.sup.- can be interchanged with another anion by ion exchange, to afford, in that way, other salts, all of which are considered part of the present invention.
The title compounds I have two asymmetrical carbons in the dioxolane ring that can produce four stereoisomers. The present invention includes these stereoisomers as well as their mixtures.
Although the present invention includes all of the above mentioned compounds, the following are specially preferred: Those in which R.sup.1 is a linear alkyl chain, in particular those having 14 to 20 carbon atoms; those in which X is a covalent bond or a --C(.dbd.O)-- group or a --O--C(.dbd.O)-- group or a --NH--C(.dbd.O)-- group or a --NR.sup.5 --C(.dbd.O)-- group and n goes between 3 and 8; those in which X is a --O--P(.dbd.O) (O.sup.z)-- group and n is 2 to 4; those in which R.sup.2 R.sup.3 R.sup.4 N.sup.+ is an aromatic cyclic ammonium group, particularly a thiazolium group; those in which A.sup.- is an arylsufonate anion, particularly a p-toluenesulfonate anion, and those in which A.sup.- is an iodide anion. Furthermore, among all of them they are still more preferred the specific compounds whose formulas are represented below, together with the number corresponding to the example in which their preparation is described. ##STR3##
We have found that the compounds of the present invention are in vitro inhibitors of the platelet aggregation induced by PAF. On the other hand, these compounds have the capacity to revert the hypotension induced by PAF in anesthetized rats. These facts make them useful as PAF antagonists in the treatment of the diseases in which this substance is involved. Furthermore, some of the mentioned compounds show hypotensive activity, as indicated by their capacity to produce a decrease of the blood pressure. Nevertheless and contrary to PAF, the latter compounds do not activate the platelets, supporting their use as antihypertensive agents.
The title compounds I are obtained when an intermediate of general formula ##STR4## where A is a suitable leaving group, such as halogen (chloro, bromo or iodo), lower alkylsulfonate (like phenylsulfonate or p-toluenesulfonate) or carboxylate and the remaining symbols have the above mentioned meaning, is treated with a nitrogen-containing base R.sup.2 R.sup.3 R.sup.4 N.sup.+ where R.sup.2, R.sup.3 and R.sup.4 have the above mentioned meaning, in an appropriate solvent (aprotic dipolar solvents like acetonitrile or dimethylformamide; aromatic hydrocarbons like benzene, toluene or xylene; chlorinated aliphatic hydrocarbons like chloroform or dichloromethane; ethers like tetrahydrofuran), or using said base as the solvent; the reaction is done at a temperature ranging from 40.degree. C. to the boiling temperature of the solvent, during a period of time that can range from 1 to 48 h.
The above mentioned intermediate can be obtained from the corresponding (.+-.)-cis, trans-2-alkyl-1,3-dioxolane-4-methanol (II) by treatment with different known reagents, depending on the nature of the X group, as described in the attached scheme.
Several compounds having the general formula II have been previously described in the literature. For example, II (R.sup.1 =n--C.sub.17 H.sub.35) has been obtained in homoquiral form starting from D-mannitol in several steps (Chem. Pharm. Bull., 1984, 32, 791-4). We have synthesized the corresponding racemic mixture in one single step starting from inexpensive glycerol or solketal by reaction with octadecanal in the presence of a catalytic amount of acid. Octadecanal is not commercially available but in can be easily obtained by oxidation of n-octadecanol with PCC (Tetrahedron Lett., 1975, 31, 2647-50). In a similar way, and using the corresponding linear aldehyde, the different compounds of formula II can be obtained.
The title compounds I in which X is --O-- --P(.dbd.) (O.sup.z)-- and n is 2 to 4 (subfamily Ia), can be obtained in two steps starting from compound II. This sequence includes a first step (step A) in which compound II is reacted with a w-bromoalkyldichlorophosphate, obtained in a similar way to the preparation of 2-bromoethyldichlorophosphate, described in the literature (Pharm. Acta Helv., 1958, 33, 349-56). The reaction is done in the presence of an amine, such as triethylamine or pyridine, in a inert organic solvent, such as an aromatic hydrocarbon, for example benzene, toluene or xylene, an halogenated aliphatic ##STR5## hydrocarbon, such as carbon tetrachloride, chloroform or dichloromethane, or an ethereal solvent, such as diethylehter. The reaction can be carried out at a temperature of from 0.degree. C. to the boiling point of the solvent for a period of time between 5 min and 5 h. Compound III is then obtained by hydrolysis using a base like sodium acetate in water, or a mixture of a miscible solvent like tetrahydrofuran and water, at 0.degree.-100.degree. C. for 1 min to 6 h. In the second step (step B) the compound obtained in step A is treated with a nitrogen-containing base followed by silver carbonate to give the quaternary ammonium salt IV. The reaction can be conveniently done using the suitable base as solvent or in the presence of a cosolvent such as benzene, acetonitrile or dimethylformamide at a temperature ranging from 50.degree. C. to the boiling point of the solvent.
The title compounds I where X is a single covalent bond and q is 1 (subfamily Ib), can be obtained starting from compound II in four steps, as shown in the scheme. Thus, in a first step (step C) compound II is treated with compound V, where P is an adequate hydroxyl protecting group and A is a leaving group. Compounds V are not commercially available but they can be easily obtained in two steps starting from the corresponding 1,n-alkanediol. For example, when P is benzyl and A is p-toluenesulfonyloxy, the corresponding compound V can be obtained starting with the corresponding 1,n-alkanediol by monobenzylation (1equiv. NaH, 1 equiv. BnBr, cyclohexane) and tosylation (TsCl, pyr, CH.sub.2 Cl.sub.2). Step C, then, involves reaction of compound II with a strong base, such as sodium hydride and, next, with the mentioned compound V in a nonprotic polar solvent, such as dimethylformamide. The reaction can be carried out at 50.degree.-120.degree. C. for 1-24 h. In step D, the compound obtained in step C (VI) is dissolved in a protogenic solvent, such as methanol or ethanol, a chlorinated aliphatic hydrocarbon, such as dichloromethane, or an ethereal solvent, such as tetrahydrofuran, and it is hydrogenated at 1 atmosphere or under pressure in the presence of a metal catalyst, such as palladium, on a support substance, such as finely divided carbon. The reaction can be conveniently carried out at room temperature for a period of time ranging between 15 min. and 22 h. In step E, the hydroxyl group of compound VII, obtained in step D, is transformed into a leaving group A. When A is p-toluenesulfonyloxy, compound VIII can be easily obtained by reaction of compound VII with p-toluenesulfonyl chloride in the presence of a proton scavenger, such as pyridine or triethylamine. The reaction is done in pyridine or in an inert organic solvent such as a chlorinated aliphatic hydrocarbon, for example, dichloromethane, or an ethereal solvent, such as diethyl ether. In relation to the experimental conditions, the reaction is done at a temperature ranging between 0.degree. and 30.degree. C. for a period of time between 6 and 24 h. Finally, the preparation of compounds of the subclass Ib includes the reaction of compound VIII obtained in step E with the desired amine, following the process described for step B (see above).
Alternatively, the compounds of subclass Ia can be synthesized starting from compound II and a compound having the general formula X, where A and Y are two leaving groups and A is better leaving group than Y. This last compound could be non commercially available, but it can be easily prepared starting from the suitable alcohol. When Y is Cl and A is p-toluenesulfonyloxy, the compound is prepared according to a published procedure (Zh. Obshch. Khim., 1968, 38, 1517-20). The reaction of compound II with compound X is done in the same way as described in step C. The next step, step F, involves the transformation of the poor leaving group Y into a better leaving group A to give compound VIII. When Y is Cl and A is I, this transformation is done by treatment of compound XI with an excess of sodium iodide in a solvent such as acetone, in which the resulting sodium chloride is not soluble. The reaction is done at 25.degree.-56.degree. C. for 6-24 h.
The title compounds I were X is --C(.dbd.O)--, --O--C(.dbd.O)--, --NH--C(.dbd.O)-- or --NR.sup.5 --C(.dbd.O)--, and q is 1 (subfamily Ic), can be obtained starting from compound II in four steps, as shown in the scheme. In the first step (step G) compound II is treated with a compound having the general formula XII, where P is a hydroxyl protecting group and Z is a --C(.dbd.O)Cl, --N.dbd.C.dbd.O or --O-- --C(.dbd.O)Cl group. Compounds XII are not commercially available but they can be easily obtained from the corresponding 1,n-alkanediol. Thus, when P is benzyl and Z is any of the three functions above mentioned, the corresponding compound XII can be obtained starting from the corresponding 1,n-alkanediol by monobenzylation (1 equiv. NaH, lequiv. BnBr, cyclohexane) and transformation into any of the three functionalities following well established classical methods (Org. Synth. III, 547 for preparation of --C(.dbd.O)Cl, Org. Synth. III, 847 for --N.dbd.C.dbd.O and Org. Synth. III, 167 for --O-- C(.dbd.O)Cl). Therefore, step G involves the reaction of compound II with compound XII in the presence of a proton scavenger, such as triethylamine or pyridine, in an inert organic solvent such as an aromatic hydrocarbon, for example benzene, toluene or xylene, a chlorinated aliphatic hydrocarbon, for example chloroform or dichloromethane, or an ethereal solvent, for example, tetrahydrofuran or diethyl ether. The reaction can be done at a temperature ranging between 0.degree. C. and the boiling point of the solvent for 1-24 h. Following essentially the same synthetic route used for the preparation of compounds of subfamily Ib (that is to say steps D, E, and B) one may obtain the compounds of subfamily Ic, of general formula XVI.
It should be emphasized that, according to the above mentioned process, the preparation of the title compounds I is very straightforward and involves the use of unexpensive starting materials such as glycerol. This represents a clear advantage in relation to other PAF antagonist whose preparation require expensive starting materials and/or the use of a sophisticated methodology.
The title compounds I are useful as PAF inhibitors, as demonstrated by their ability to inhibit the in vitro platelet aggregation induced by PAF in rabbit platelets according to test 1:
Test 1: Inhibition of platelet aggregation induced by PAF.
The blood is obtained by cardiac puncture of male New Zealand albino rabbits (between 2 and 2.5 Kg of weight) and coagulation is prevented by adding 1 part of 3.16% sodium citrate dihydrate in 9 parts of blood. The platelet rich plasma (PRP) is prepared by blood centrifugation at 250.times.g for 10 min. at 4.degree. C. and it is diluted with platelet poor plasma (PPP) obtained by additional centrifugation at 300.times.g for 10 min. The amount of platelets is adjusted to 3.times.10.sup.-3 /mm.sup.3. The platelet aggregation induced by PAF (C.sub.18, prepared in our laboratory) (16 nM, final) is determined by the Born nephelometric technique (J. Physiol., 1962, 162, 67) using a aggregometer Chronolog 500. The activities of the inhibitors are expressed as IC.sub.50, that is to say the concentration of the drug needed to inhibit the platelet aggregation in a 50%. The results are shown in table 1:

Furthermore, it has been found that the title compounds I are inhibitors of the hypotension induced by PAF according to test 2.
Test 2 - Inhibition of the hypotensive effect induced by PAF in normotense rats.
Male Sprague Dawley rats, of 180-220 g of weight, anesthetized with sodium pentobarbital (50 mg/Kg, i.p. 1 mL/100 g) have been used. In order to measure the average arterial pressure, a polyethylene catheter is introduced into the carotid artery. The arterial pressure is recorded with the help of a transducer connected with a R611 Beckman polygraph. The tested compounds are administrated through the femoral vein 3 min. before the injection of PAF (0.5 mg/Kg, i.v.). The inhibition of the hypotension induced by PAF of the different compounds with a 5 mg/Kg dose, i.v., is shown in table 2.

On the other hand, the title compounds I are capable to revert the hypotension induced by PAF as shown in test 3.
Test 3 - Reversion of the hypotensive effect induced by PAF in normotense rats.
The experimental design is similar to that of test 2, except in that the compound to be tested is given by intravenous injection 1 min. after the injection of PAF. In the controls the blood pressure recovers 80% of the basal level 6.2 min. after the injection of PAF. The effect of the tested compounds is expressed as the dose required to reduce in a 50% the time of recovery of the basal blood pressure (ID.sub.50).

Examples of aqueous solvents or suspending media are distilled water for injection, the Ringer's solution and isotonic sodium chloride solution. Examples of non-aqueous solvents or suspending media are propylene glycol, polyethylene glycol, vegetable oils such as olive oil, or alcohols such as ethanol. These compositions may also include adjuvants such as wetting, preserving, emulsifying and dispersing agents. They may be sterilized by one of the known methods or manufactured in the form of sterile solid compositions which can be dissolved in sterile water or some other sterile injectable medium immediately before use. When all of the components are sterile, the injectables will maintain the sterility if they are manufactured in sterile environment.
A compound of the invention may be also administered in the form of suppositories for rectal administration of the drug; creams, ointments, jellies, solutions or suspensions for tropical use and pessaries for vaginal administration.
Following are some representative preparations for tablets, capsules, syrups, aerosols and injectables. They can be prepared following standard procedures and they are useful as inhibitors of platelet activating factor.

To a suspension of sodium hydride (55% oil dispersion, 1.70 g, 39 mmol) in dimethylformamide (30 mL) in an argon atmosphere it was added the compound obtained in 1a (10.27 g, 30 mmol) followed by a solution of 4-(benzyloxy)butyl 4-methylbenzenesulfonate (13.7 g, 41 mmol) in dry dimethylformamide (40 mL). The mixture was heated at 80.degree. C. producing the appearance of hydrogen gas. After 15 min. of stirring at this temperature, the reaction mixture was left at room temperature for 18 h. Water was added (100 mL) and the mixture was extracted with ether (2.times.100 mL). The combined ethereal layers were washed with 1M sodium bicarbonate (100 mL), then with a saturated solution of sodium chloride and dried with anhydrous sodium sulfate. After solvent evaporation, 16.31 g of a yellow oil were obtained. Purification by flash-chromatography (silica gel, ethyl acetate:hexane 12:1) afforded 11.2 g (74%) of a pure waxy product.

(a) Diester of 2-bromoethyl[2-heptadecyl-1,3-dioxolane-4-yl]methyl phosphoric acid.
To a solution of the compound obtained in example 1a (685 mg, 2 mmol) in dry carbon tetrachloride (7 mL), dry triethylamine (0.42 mL, 3 mmol) was added followed by 2-bromoethylphosphoryl dichloride (724 mg, 3 mmol) resulting in a white precipitate. The reaction mixture was stirred at room temperature for 1.5 h, filtered and concentrated. The residue was treated with a mixture of 0.5M sodium acetate (23 mL) and tetrahydrofuran (23 mL) for 3 h. The major part of the tetrahydrofuran was evaporated in vacuo and the resulting aqueous residue was acidified to pH 1 with 1N HCl and was quickly extracted with ether. The organic phase was dried over anhydrous sodium sulfate and was concentrated to give an oil that crystallized with ethhyl acetate. The product obtained in that way was used in next step without further purification. A pure analytical sample can be obtained by flash-chromatograhy purification (silica gel, chloroform: methanol, 5:1) as a white solid.
