Description

FIELD OF THE INVENTION

This invention relates to a class of thiatriazine compounds characterized by an amino substitutent in the 3- and/or the 5-position of the thiatriazine ring and methods for the treatment of physiological disorders, including gastrointestinal disorders in humans and other mammals.

REPORTED DEVELOPMENTS

Gastrointestinal hyperacid secretion, stomach and intestinal ulceration, and gastritis are major gastrointestinal disorders observed in the general adult populations of industrialized societies. Many factors, including the production of excess gastric acid and the weakening of the lining of the stomach and gastrointestinal tract against such acid, are implicated as causes of these disorders. Traditional treatment of these disorders has involved the administration of antacids to neutralize the excess gastric acid and the administration of antisecretory drugs which generally reduce the production of all gastric secretions.

In the last few years, the treatment of gastrointestinal disorders such as peptic ulcer has changed to include the use of anti-secretory drugs which selectively block the production of gastric acid. These drugs are believed to interfere with the body's physiological pathway responsible for the production of gastric acid by blocking the action of histamine. Histamine production is induced in the body by a number of stimuli, including stress, allergic reaction, etc., and acts to increase gastric secretion, dilate blood vessels and stimulate smooth muscle tissue. Histamine is believed to function by way of interaction with histamine receptors in the body. The subdivision of these receptors into two groups, the H.sub.1 - and H.sub.2 -receptors, was proposed by Ash and Schild (Brit. J. Pharmacol. Chemother, 1966, 27, 427) and Black et al (Nature 1972, 236, 385). The H.sub.1 -receptor is involved in the bronchial and gastrointestinal smooth muscle stimulative action of histamine. Drugs which block this action are labelled "antihistamines" (e.g. mepyramine).

Black et al, cited above, described the group of substances which act at histamine receptors other than the H.sub.1 -receptor as the H.sub.2 -receptors. Blocking the action of histamine at the H.sub.2 -receptors will selectively block histamine's stimulative action on gastric acid secretion and heart rate. Burimamide was the first clinically effective H.sub.2 -receptor antagonist inhibiting gastric secretion in man; but Burimamide's oral absorptivity is poor. Subsequent studies developed the orally active Metiamide, the side effects of which limited clinical use, and Cimetidine which has been marketed as an anti-ulcer drug. A number of classes of heterocyclic chemical compounds have been reported as H.sub.2 -receptor antagonists, for example, those disclosed in U.S. Pat. Nos. 4,104,381, 4,279,819, 4,323,566, 4,390,701, 4,395,553, and British published patent application Nos. 2067987A and GB 2047238A, and EPO publication No. 0081955A2, the disclosures of which are incorporated by reference.

Another method for the prevention or treatment of gastric ulcer comprises the use of drugs which neither neutralize nor inhibit the secretion of gastric acid. These drugs constitute a class of anti-ulcer compounds which function to enhance the normal defense mechanisms of the body, rather than to reduce normal body secretions, and are described as "cytoprotective" agents. It has been proposed that such agents act to strengthen the mucosal lining of the gastrointestinal system by one or more mechanisms, thereby preventing any damage which could result from the action of strong gastric acid. Prostaglandins have been implicated in the mechanism of cytoprotection by a number of workers in the field. See, the discussion of cytoprotection in Robert, Andre, "Prostaglandins and Digestive Diseases", Advances in Prostaglandin and Thromboxane Research, Vol. 8 (Raven Press, N.Y. 1980), and Robert et al, "Cytoprotection by Prostaglandins in Rats", Gastroenterology, 77, 433-443 (1979), hereby incorporated by reference. Drugs, other than prostaglandins, which exhibit cytoprotective activity include carbenoxolone sodium, reported to exhibit undesirable side effects, such as edema, diastolic hypertension or hypokalemia, and the thiazol-2-yl- carbamoylcarboxylic acids, esters and imides described in U.S. Pat. No. 4,321,372.

As employed above and throughout the disclosure, the following terms, unless otherwise indicated, shall be understood to have the following meanings:

"Alkyl" means an aliphatic group. "Lower alkyl" is an alkyl group having 1 to about 6 carbon atoms and is preferred. Examples of lower alkyl groups are methyl, ethyl, n-propyl, isopropyl, butyl, sec-butyl, tert-butyl, n-pentyl, isopentyl, neopentyl and n-hexyl.

"Heterocycle" means a hetero atom-containing ring. Preferred heterocycles in the context of the present invention are azaheterocycles of the formula ##STR6## where Y is alkylene or alkylidenyl having from one to six carbon atoms, and may include one to three atoms of N, O or S.

Compounds of this invention may be prepared according to the exemplary means described below and by analogous means known to those skilled in the art.

The preparation of exemplary B radicals is described in copending U.S. application Ser. Nos. 489,702 (now U.S. Pat. No. 4,529,723), 489,814 (now U.S. Pat. No. 4,543,352), and 604,813 and PCT Appl. Ser. No. PCT/US84/00657, filed July 27, 1984, and U.S. patent application Ser. No. 664,222, filed on the same day as the present application (all assigned to the assignee of the present application) the disclosures of which are hereby incorporated by reference.

The compounds of the present invention may be prepared by reacting an appropriately substituted thiatriazine moiety of Formula V with an amine such as B--(CH.sub.2).sub.n --X--(CH.sub.2).sub.m --NH.sub.2. Scheme I below depicts a typical reaction sequence. ##STR7##

The amine substituent groups displace the leaving group designated L.sub.1 in Formula V, which can be any group which is displaced preferentially over the X substituent group such as for example a paranitro-phenoxy substituent. When X in Scheme I is other than amine and a second amine substituent is desired, then X is a less preferential leaving group designated L.sub.2 in Scheme I above such as methoxy. Treatment with a nucleophilic amine displaces the methoxy group.

The starting thiatriazine compounds of Formula V are readily prepared according to methods known in the art. One method for preparing the thiatriazines is described in Scheme II below. ##STR8##

The thiatriazine intermediates may also be prepared according to methods disclosed in U.S. Pat. Nos. 4,013,447, 4,343,648, and 4,426,219, hereby incorporated by reference. Scheme III depicts a typical reaction sequence. ##STR9##

Using a suitable N-substituted guanidine derivative as starting material, the guanidine is N-acylated with ethyl chloro formate on the R.sub.1 substituted nitrogen. The remaining unsubstituted nitrogen is N-sulfonated with amino sulfonyl chloride and the resulting addition product cyclized to the 4-R.sub.1 -3-oxo-thiatriazine by treatment with anhydrous alkoxide.

The 4-alkyl, 3-oxo thiatriazine intermediate is then converted into the 3-halo compounds upon treatment with phosphorous pentachloride. A typical reaction is described in U.S. Pat. No. 4,426,219. Treatment of the 3-chloro compound with paranitrophenol results in the 3-paranitrophenoxy-, 4-alkyl-thiatriazine compound.

Another method for producing a 4-alkyl thiatriazine intermediate is described in Scheme IV below. ##STR10## In Scheme IV, an aryl cyanate is reacted with a substituted bis-trialkylsilylamine R.sub.1 is as defined above. The trialkyl group is preferably a trimethyl group and may be carried out as described in Chem. Ber. 101 3185 (1968). The thiatriazine may be formed by cyclization with thionyl chloride. The 1,1-dioxide may first be formed using an oxidizing agent, for example: a peracid, such as m-chloroperbenzoic acid, hydrogen peroxide; an alkyl hydroperoxide, such as t-butyl hydroperoxide; or a permanganate, such as potassium permanganate.

The 6-substituted thiatriazine compound may be prepared from the 5-amino-3-aryloxy-6-substituted 1,2,4,6-thiatriazine-1,1-dioxide reagent, an exemplary preparation of which is described in Scheme V below. ##STR11##

Treatment of an arylcyanate with ammonia gas results in the formation of the dimer addition product which can be N-sulfonated with an R.sub.1 substituted sulfonyl halide in the presence of a non-nucleophilic scavenger base. Treatment of the N-sulfo product with a base, such as a hydride base, for example sodium hydride, results in cyclization to the 6-R.sub.1 substituted 1,2,4,6-thiatriazine which can then be reacted with the N-(bicyclic ether or bicyclic alkylene thioether) alkylene amine intermediate resulting in the desired 6-substituted thiatriazine compounds of Formula I.

Compounds of Formula I wherein one of X or Y is aryloxyalkyl, alkoxyalkyl, aralkyl, alkyl or aryl may be prepared by the reaction sequence shown in Scheme VI below. ##STR12##

Treatment of the cyano starting material with ethanolic acid followed by ammonia results in an amidine which is N-acylated with any appropriate formate ester acylating agent to form the N-carbo phenoxylate adduct. N-sulfonation of the primary amine group in the presence of a scavenger base, such as triethylamine, forms the N-carbophenoxy, N'-R.sub.1 -sulfonamide adduct, which upon treatment with base, such as a hydride (NaH), cyclizes to the 5-oxo-1,2,4,6-thiatriazine-1,1-dioxide intermediate. Conversion of the 5-oxo intermediate to the p-nitrophenoxy reagent by means of the chloride is effected as described above. The p-nitrophenoxy group is displaceable by treatment with the N-(bicyclic) amine, NHR.sub.3 R.sub.4, thereby forming the corresponding compound within the scope of Formula I.

The following are selected examples of the preparation of compounds according to this invention which utilize starting materials which are either commercially available, prepared according to methods known in the art or described in the above references, and are hereby incorporated by reference.

Various tests in animals have been carried out to show the ability of the compounds of this invention to exhibit pharmacological responses that can be correlated with activity in humans. These tests involve such factors as the effect of the compounds of Formula I on gastric secretion and their H.sub.2 antagonist, antiulcer and cytoprotective activity. It has been found that the compounds of this invention when tested in the above variety of situations show a marked activity.

One such test is the gastric secretion test. This test is carried out as follows: Shay rats are fasted for 4-8 hours, and water is given ad lib. The rats are selected at random and separated into groups of 10. The animals are treated intraduodenally (I.D.) with the test compounds or the vehicle immediately subsequent to the ligation of the stomach at the pyloric sphincter. The animals are sacrificed with chloroform at 4 hours post-drug administration, the stomach removed and its contents assayed for volume, pH and total acids.

A second gastric secretion test is carried out on the dog. This is outlined in the Handbook of Physiology, Section 6: Alimentary Canal, Volume II: Secretion. American Physiology Society, Washington, D.C., 1967.

It has been found that the compounds of this invention, when subjected to the above gastric secretion tests, display marked ability to decrease gastric volume and gastric acidity. These tests are known to correlate well with gastric activity in humans and are standard tests used to determine anti-secretory properties.

The compounds of Formula I have been found to be histamine H.sub.2 -receptor antagonists by the results obtained in the following H.sub.2 -antagonist tests.

A. Isolated Guinea Pig Atria

The H.sub.2 -receptor antagonist activity of the compounds of Formula I is measured by observing the beat rate response versus compound concentration in isolated guinea pig atria. A discussion of criteria to evaluate these dose-response curves may be found in, E. J. Ariens, G. A. J. van Os, A. M. Simonis, and T. M. van Rossum, "A Molecular Approach to General Pharmacology", Sections 11A, 11B, and 11l, Molecular Pharmacology: The Mode of Action of Biologically Active Compound. Vol. 1, Academic Press (1964).

1. Tissue Bath

A fifty ml jacketed tissue bath is maintained at 30.degree. C. The bath consists of a Krebs-Henseleit buffer aerated with 95% O.sub.2 - 5% CO.sub.2, (pH 7.4). The buffer is prepared by mixing: 4 ml of an aqueous (distilled deionized) solution of CaCl.sub.2. 2H.sub.2 O (0.37 g/ml); 4 ml of an aqueous (distilled deionized) solution of MgSO.sub.4. 7H.sub.2 O (0.29 g/ml); 7.2 g of glucose; and, 2 liters of aqueous (distilled deionized) solution containing NaCl (28 g), NaHCO.sub.2 (8.4 g), KCl (1.4 g) and KH.sub.2 PO.sub.4 (0.6 g).

2 Preparation of Atria

Male albino guinea pigs (400-700, g, preferably 500-600 g) are killed by a blow to the back of the head and exsanguinated by cutting jugular veins and carotid arteries. The thoracic skin is opened from this neck cut and the rib cage exposed. Both sides of the rib cage and the diaphragm are cut and laid back, exposing the heart. The heart is removed by cutting through the vessels above and behind it while it is slightly elevated with forceps holding the ventricle tip. The heart is immediately placed in warm, aerated buffer and further dissected in a large petri dish of the same buffer. Since the pericardium is removed, it is possible to slip iris scissors between the atria and ventricles while holding the aorta and vessels with tweezers and cut off the atria. The atria are then dissected from any remaining tissue and vessels and suspended in the bath using small, curved taper-point needles formed into hooks and tied to an S-shaped hook and the L-shaped lower support with 00 silk.

A Beckman Type 9308 Strain Gauge Coupler connects a Beckman cardiotachometer to a Grass FT03C strain gauge supported in a rack and pinion clamp. The upper hook of the strain gauge is placed in the edge of the left atrium and the lower hook in the tip of the right atrium. The lower support is clamped in a femur clamp and the upper hook is suspended from the strain gauge lug. The strain gauge is raised until the resting tension on the tissue is 1 gram. The tissue is allowed to stabilize for about one hour with several buffer washings and tension adjustments before the addition of the test compounds.

3. Test Procedure

A control dose-response curve using cumulative, approximately tripling doses is obtained in all three running from 0.1 to 30.0 .mu.M histamine (0.1, 0.3, 1.0, 3.0, etc.) In order to minimize volume changes when adding drugs to the bath, small volumes of concentrated solutions are used. It is convenient to make up a 0.5M solution and dilute it to give 50, 5 and 0.5 mM solutions.

Data recorded consists of the initial baseline rate and the stable plateau rate after each addition. Histamine is then washed out and the tissues are allowed to stabilize again near the initial baseline rate; this may take several rinses and 1 hr. The test compound is then added at the same cumulative doses and rates again recorded. If the compound behaves as an agonist and stimulates, then the dose is increased until the rate plateaus or the concentration is 1.0 mM. If, however, no agonistic activity is observed when the concentrations has reached 100 .mu.M then its antagonistic activity is assessed by repeating the histamine curve without washing out the test compound. Reversibility of effect is assessed by attempting to wash out the test compound and/or histamine and repeat the histamine curve. Erratic or irregular beating or any other abnormal behavior at any time is noted. Calculations consist of the change in rate from base line and that change as a percentage of the maximum rate obtained in the initial control curve. The mean of those percentages (.+-.SEM) is plotted as a function of agonist concentration (either histamine or test compound) to evaluate the type of response.

B. Lumen Perfused Rat Stomach--Effect on the Gastric Secretion

Male Sprague-Dawley rats weighing between 350 and 500 gm are housed individually according to standard animal husbandry procedures and are deprived of food twenty-four hours prior to testing. The rats are anesthetized by an intraperitoneal injection of 25% solution of urethane (0.5 to 0.7 ml/100 g of body weight). Once anesthetized, the trachea is exposed and cannulated with PE 100 tubing. The jugular vein is exposed and cannulated with PE 50 tubing bevelled at the tip. The abdomen is opened through a midline incision, and the esophagus is isolated excluding the vagus nerve. PE 190 tubing, with a flange on one end, is passed down the rat's mouth through the esophagus and into the stomach. The esophagus is tied off and the tubing checked to make sure that it is securely in the stomach. The duodenum is then identified and a small cut made about 1 cm below the pyloric sphincter. A piece of PE 320 tubing (flanged at one end) is inserted through the cut and into the stomach. lt is secured firmly by tying a ligature around the pylorus. Using a 50 ml syringe, the stomach is flushed out with 0.4 mM NaOH through the esophageal tube until the perfusate emerging from the pyloric tube is clear. The animal is placed on a tilted table covered with a Gordon-Rupp water blanket Model `K` to maintain the rat's body temperature at 30.degree. C. The tube going into the esophagus is attached to a Sage Peristaltic Pump and 0.4 mN NaOH (pH 10.0 ) is perfused and collected in 30 ml beakers. The beakers are changed every 10 or 15 minutes and the pH of these samples are recorded. Once the pH has stabilized around 6.5-7.5, drugs that affect gastric secretion are given intravenously. The effectiveness of a compound is based on its ability to prevent a drop in pH initiated by a gastric stimulant, such as histamine. See, Ghosh, M. N. and Schild, H. O., Brit. J. Pharmacol., 13: 54 (1958).

Compounds within the scope of Formula I have also been determined to exhibit anti-ulcer activity. The anti-ulcer properties of these compounds can be evaluated using an anti-ulcer assay in which aspirin or another nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory agent is used to induce gastric ulcers in the rat according to the following test procedure.

See, Corell, T., "Interaction of Salicylates and other Non-steroidal Anti-inflammatory Agents in Rats as Shown by Gastro-ulcerogenic and Anti-inflammatory Activities, and Plasma Concentrations", Acta. Pharmacology et. Toxicology, 45, 225-231 (1979).

Male Sprague-Dawley rats 140-170 g are housed according to standard animal husbandry procedures. The rats are fasted twenty-four hours prior to testing. On the test day, rats are divided into groups of 5 or 10, with one group serving as controls and receiving vehicle (for example, distilled water or a 0.1% Tween 80 solution). The test compounds, using logarithmic doses, are administered at a dose volume of 10 ml/kg. Thirty minutes post-drug, the rats are orally administered (10 ml/kg) aspirin or indomethacin suspended in 0.1% Tween 80 at a dose of 150.0 or 20.0 mg/kg, respectively. Four hours following indomethacin administration (five hours after aspirin administration) animals are sacrificed via cervical dislocation; their stomachs are removed, opened along the greater curvature, and gently rinsed and examined for lesions with a 10X magnifying glass; the following scale is employed:

______________________________________Grade Description______________________________________0 No lesions1 5 lesions, all < 2 mm2 5 lesions, at least 1 > 2 mm3 5-10 lesions, all < 2 mm4 5-10 lesions, at least 1 > 2 mm5 10 lesions, all < 2 mm6 10 lesions, at least 1 > 2 mm7 Perforation______________________________________

The average ulcer severity (.+-.S.E.) for each group of animals is calculated. The precent inhibition for each test compound is calculated as follows: ##EQU1##

The compounds of Formula I have also been determined to exhibit cytoprotective activity.

The cytoprotective effectiveness of the compounds of Formula I is evaluated according to the following test procedure.

Male Sprague-Dawley rats 150-200 g are housed according to standard animal husbandry procedures. The rats are fasted twenty-four hours prior to testing. On the test day, rats are divided into groups of 6, with one group serving as controls and receiving vehicle (for example, distilled water or a 0.5% Methocel solution). The test compounds, using logarithmically spaced doses, are administered at a dose volume of 5 ml/kg. Ten minutes post-drug, the rats are orally admistered 1 ml of absolute alcohol, 0.2N NaOH (1 ml) or 0.6N HCl (1 ml), regardless of body weight. One hour after administration animals are sacrificed by cervical dislocation, their stomachs are removed, opened along the greater curvature, rinsed under running tap water and examined for lesions with a 2X-10X magnifying glass.

The reduction of lesion count, lesion severity score and ulcer index as compared to similar measurements made in the controls was expressed as a percentage. Measurement of statistical significance of the results was done by standard methods.

The average ulcer severity (.+-.S.E.) for each group of animals is calculated. The percent inhibition for each test compound is calculated as follows: ##EQU2##

The results of the anti-secretory, anti-ulcer and cytoprotective assays, detailed above, establish the utility of the compounds of the present invention in the treatment of peptic ulcers in mammals, including humans. These compounds both aid in the healing of such ulcers and alsc prevent their formation.

The most preferred cytoprotective compounds are the 5-amino-3-[3-[5-[1-(1-piperidinyl)-1,2,3,4-tetrahydronaphthyloxy]]propylamino]-2H-1,2,4,6-thiatriazine-1,1-dioxide compounds wherein the 2-position is substituted by methyl, n-butyl and benzyl.

Compounds of the present invention which exhibit a preferred combination of cytoprotective and H.sub.2 -antagonistic properties comprise compounds within the scope of Formulae I wherein the thiatriazine moiety is substituted in the 6-position with an alkyl radical, preferably lower alkyl and most preferably n-butyl.

In particular, the compounds according to Formulae I and II are useful: in the treatment and prevention of hyperacidity and gastrointestinal ulceration; for decreasing gastrointestinal acid secretion in mammals; and for enhancing the gastrointestinal resistance to gastrointestinal irritants in humans and other mammals.

For all these purposes, the compounds of this invention can be normally administered orally or parenterally. Oral administration is preferred.

The compounds according to the invention, preferably in the form of a salt, may be formulated for administration in any convenient way, and the invention includes within its scope pharmaceutical compositions containing at least one compound according to the invention adapted for use in human or veterinary medicine. Such compositions may be formulated in a conventional manner using one or more pharmaceutically acceptable carriers or excipients. Such compositions may also contain if required other active ingredients, for example, H.sub.1 -antagonists, or known antacids such as aluminum hydroxide, magnesium hydroxide, magnesium trisilicate, aluminum glycinate, or calcium carbonate. Suitable carriers include diluents or fillers, sterile aqueous media and various non-toxic organic solvents. The compositions may be formulated in the form of tablets, capsules, lozenges, troches, hard candies, powders, aqueous suspensions, or solutions, injectable solutions, elixirs, syrups and the like and may contain one or more agents selected from the group including sweetening agents, flavoring agents, coloring agents and preserving agents, in order to provide a pharmaceutically acceptable preparation.

The particular carrier and the ratio of active compound to carrier are determined by the solubility and chemical properties of the compounds, the particular mode of administration and standard pharmaceutical practice. For example, excipients such as lactose, sodium citrate, calcium carbonate and dicalcium phosphate and various disintegrants such as starch, alginic acid and certain complex silicates, together with lubricating agents such as magnesium stearate, sodium lauryl sulphate and talc, can be used in producing tablets. For a capsule form, lactose and high molecular weight polyethylene glycols are among the preferred pharmaceutically acceptable carriers. Where aqueous suspensions for oral use are formulated, the carrier can be emulsifying or suspending agents. Diluents such as ethanol, propylene glycol, glycerin and chloroform and their combinations can be employed as well as other materials.

For parenteral administration, solutions or suspensions of these compounds in sesame or peanut oil or aqueous propylene glycol solutions, as well as sterile aqueous solutions of the soluble pharmaceutically acceptable salts described herein can be employed. Solutions of the salts of these compounds are especially suited for intramuscular and subcutaneous injection purposes. The aqueous solutions, including those of the salts dissolved in pure distilled water, are also useful for intravenous injection purposes, provided that their pH is properly adjusted, suitably buffered, and made isotonic with sufficient saline or glucose.

The dosage regimen in carrying out the methods of this invention is that which insures maximum therapeutic response until improvement is obtained and thereafter the minimum effective level which gives relief. Thus, in general, the dosages are those that are therapeutically effective in the treatment of gastrointestinal disease conditions or symptoms, such as duodenal and peptic ulcer. In general, the dose can be between about 0.1 mg/kg and 100 mg/kg (preferably in the range of 1 to 20 mg/kg), bearing in mind, of course, that in selecting the appropriate dosage in any specific case, consideration must be given to the patient's weight, general health, age, and other factors which may influence response to the drug. The daily dose can range from 1 to 4 times a day.
