The present invention relates to new pyrazole derivatives possessing an amide group substituted with an amino acid or one of its derivatives at position 3 and variously substituted in positions 1, 2, 4 or 5 of the pyrazole ring, to a process for preparing these and to pharmaceutical compositions containing the said pyrazole derivatives as an active ingredient.
The compounds according to the invention possess activity with respect to the central nervous system, the cardiovascular system or the gastrointestinal system.
A large number of pyrazole derivatives are described in the literature.
1,5-Diarylpyrazoles substituted at position 3 with an alkyl chain containing from 2 to 16 carbon atoms and variously substituted, in particular with an amide, and corresponding to the formula: ##STR1## are described in European Patent 0,248,594 as possessing anti-inflammatory activity and activity with respect to the cardiovascular system.
Pyrazole derivatives of formula: ##STR2## where B.sub.2 represents either a hydrogen atom or a methyl group, B.sub.3 represents, for example, an alkyl and B.sub.5, B'.sub.5 and B".sub.5 independently represent, for example, hydrogen, a halogen or a C.sub.1 -C.sub.3 alkoxy, are described in British Patent 2,130,205 as being capable of use for the purpose of decreasing the blood uric acid level in mammals.
It is, moreover, described in Journal of the Chemical Society, 1973, 2532-2534 that 2-morpholino-5-phenyl-5-phenylazofuran salts rearrange to 1,5-diphenylpyrazoles substituted at position 3, of formula: ##STR3##

In the present description, "aryl" denotes aromatic rings such as, for example, phenyl.
When the compounds (I) or (I') include an asymmetric carbon, the enantiomers form part of the invention.
When the compounds (I) or (I') contain a group of formula a) or b), the cycloaliphatic amino acids comprise both those for which the amine function is in the endo position with respect to the aliphatic ring system and those for which the amine function is in the exo position with respect to the aliphatic ring system.
The possible salts of the products of formula (I) or (I') according to the present invention comprise both those with inorganic or organic acids which permit an appropriate crystallisation or separation of the compounds of formula (I) or (I'), such as picric acid or oxalic acid, and those which form pharmaceutically acceptable salts such as the hydrochloride, hydrobromide, sulphate, hydrogen sulphate, dihydrogen phosphate, methanesulphonate, methyl sulphate, maleate, fumarate and 2-naphthalenesulphonate.
The possible salts of the products of formula (I) or (I') also comprise the salts with cations, for example the alkali metal or alkaline earth metal salts such as the sodium, potassium and calcium salts, the sodium salt being preferred, when the said product of formula (I) or (I') contains a carboxylic acid group.
A particular class of the compounds of the invention consists of the compounds of formula (I) or (I') in which R.sub.I is either a naphthyl group or a phenyl group substituted with R.sub.a, R'.sub.a and R".sub.a as defined above, the other substituents being as defined above.
Another preferred group of the compounds of the invention consists of the compounds of formula (I) or (I') in which R.sub.V represents a naphthyl or phenyl group substituted with R.sub.5, R'.sub.5 and R".sub.5 as defined above, the other substituents being as defined above. Preferably, R.sub.5, R'.sub.5 or R".sub.5 is hydrogen or a C.sub.1 -C.sub.4 alkoxy.
Another preferred group of the compounds of the invention consists of the compounds of formula (I) or (I') in which R,Z,n, R.sub.IV and R.sub.V are as above defined and X, X' and the carbon atom to which they are linked form an adamantylidene group, a group of formula a or of formula b as above defined.
According to another of its aspects, the present invention relates to a process for the preparation of the compounds of formula (I) and (I'), characterized in that a functional derivative of formula (II) or (II'): ##STR18## in which R.sub.I, R.sub.IV, R.sub.V and R.sub.Ia are as defined above, is treated with an amino acid, optionally protected by the protective groups customary in peptide synthesis, of formula: ##STR19## in which R, n, X, X' and Z are as defined above or optionally protected.
As a functional derivative of the pyrazolecarboxylic acid of formula (II) or (II'), it is possible to use the acid chloride, the anhydride, a mixed anhydride, an ester, an activated ester, for example the p-nitrophenyl ester, or the free acid judiciously activated, for example, with N,N-dicyclohexylcarbodiimide or with benzotriazolyl-N-oxytris(dimethylamino)phosphonium hexafluorophosphate (BOP).
The compounds (I) and (I') thus prepared may then be deprotected, where appropriate, to yield the corresponding free acids.
The esters (IIa) and (II'a) which are precursors of the carboxylic acids (II) and (II'), defined above, are synthesised by applying the method described in Chem. Pharm. Bull, 1984, 32, 4, 1577.
The process for preparing the compounds (I) or (I') via the esters (IIa) and (II'a) is represented by the following scheme: ##STR20##
The first step a) consists in the preparation of the sodium enolates of a ketone of formula 1, in which R.sub.V and R.sub.IV are as defined above, which are reacted with an equimolar amount of ethyl oxalate (step b)) in an alkanol such as, for example, methanol, according to L. CLAISEN, Ber., 1909, 42, 59. After precipitation in ethyl ether, the sodium enolates (III) are separated by filtration.
The sodium enolates (III) thus prepared and an excess of hydrazine or of a hydrazine derivative R.sub.I -NHNH.sub.2 are then heated to reflux of acetic acid (step c)).
In the case where R.sub.I represents a substituted or unsubstituted benzyl group R.sub.Ia, there is obtained, during the condensation of the benzylhydrazine with the compounds (III), a mixture, in variable proportions depending on the nature and position of the substituents of R.sub.V, of the compounds (IIa) and its isomer (II'a) of formula: ##STR21## in which R.sub.Ia, R.sub.IV and R.sub.V are as defined above.
The two isomers (IIa) and (II'a) may then be separated by column chromatography. On saponification of the esters, the pure isomeric acids are obtained, which acids are reacted, for example, with sulphinyl chloride. The acid chlorides are then condensed with the amino acids of formula (V) to yield the compounds (I) and (I') according to the invention (step e)).
A variant of the process, in the case where R.sub.I is a benzyl or cinnamyl group, consists in the condensation of unsubstituted hydrazine with the compound (III) (step c')) to yield the 1H-pyrazole derivative (IV), which is then substituted in the presence of NaH or NaNH.sub.2 with a group R.sub.I E or R.sub.Ia E (stepc")), where E represents a group which can be eliminated such as a halogen, a p-toluenesulphonyloxy (tosyloxy) or a methanesulphonyloxy (mesyloxy).
The 3-amidopyrazole derivatives (I) and (I') which are subjects of the invention are then prepared from the pyrazole acids by converting the ester derivatives (IIa) and (II'a) to their corresponding acids (II) or (II') by the action of an alkaline agent such as, for example, potassium hydroxide, followed by acidification (step d), then the corresponding compounds of formula (I) and (I') are prepared as described above.
If the amino acid contains a hydroxyl group as a substituent, the latter may be protected by an O-protecting group customarily used, and then deprotected according to the usual methods.
When the product of formula (I) or (I') possesses a basic function and is obtained in the form of a free base, the salification is performed by treatment with the chosen acid in an organic solvent. On treatment of the free base, dissolved, for example in an alcohol such as isopropanol, with a solution of the chosen acid in the same solvent, the corresponding salt is obtained, which salt is isolated according to conventional techniques. Thus, for example, the hydrochloride, hydrobromide, sulphate, hydrogen sulphate, dihydrogen phosphate, methanesulphonate, methyl sulphate, oxalate, maleate, fumarate or 2-naphthalenesulphonate is prepared.
When the compound of formula (I) or (I') possesses a basic function and is isolated in the form of one of its salts, for example the hydrochloride or oxalate, the free base may be prepared by neutralisation of the said salt with an inorganic or organic base such as sodium hydroxide or triethylamine, or with an alkali metal carbonate or bicarbonate such as sodium or potassium carbonate or bicarbonate.
When the product of formula (I) or (I') contains an acid group, the compound thereby obtained may be converted to a metal salt, in particular an alkali metal salt such as the sodium salt, or an alkaline earth metal salt such as the calcium salt, according to conventional processes.
The compounds (I) or (I') according to the invention were subjected to biochemical tests.
The same compounds (I) or (I') and their salts displace, at concentrations of less than one micromolar, [Tyr.sup.3 -iodinated] neurotensin from its receptor on guinea pig brain membranes, according to the method described by SADOUL J. L. et al., Biochemical and Biophysical Research Communications, 1984, 120, 3, 812-819.
The compounds of the present invention are of low toxicity; in particular, their acute toxicity is compatible with their use as a medicinal product. For such a use, an effective amount of a compound of formula (I) or (I') or of one of their pharmaceutically acceptable salts is administered to mammals.
The compounds (I) or (I') according to the invention are the first potential non-peptide synthetic medicinal products capable of binding to the neurotensin receptor and capable of being useful in pathological states associated with a dysfunction of the dopaminergic systems, for example as antipsychotics (D. R. HANDRICH et al., Brain Research, 1982, 231, 216-221 and C. B. NEMEROFF, Biological Psychiatry, 1980, 15-2, 283-302), and in disorders of the cardiovascular or gastrointestinal system.
Thus, the subject of the present invention, according to another of its aspects, is pharmaceutical compositions containing as active principles the compounds of formula (I) or (I') or their possible pharmaceutically acceptable salts.
In the pharmaceutical compositions of the present invention for oral, sublingual, subcutaneous, intramuscular, intravenous, transdermal or rectal administration, the active principles may be administered, in unit dosage forms, as a mixture or with conventional pharmaceutical excipients, to animals and human beings. The appropriate unit dosage forms comprise forms for oral administration such as tablets, gelatin capsules, powders, granules and oral solutions or suspensions, forms for sublingual and buccal administration, forms for subcutaneous, intramuscular or intravenous administration and forms for rectal administration.
In order to obtain the desired effect, the dose of active principle can vary between 1 and 1,000 mg per day, and preferably between 2 and 500 mg.
Each unit dose can contain from 1 to 250 mg of active principle, and preferably from 2 to 125 mg, in combination with a pharmaceutical vehicle. This unit dose may be administered 1 to 4 times per day.
When a solid composition is prepared in the form of tablets, the active principle is mixed with a pharmaceutical vehicle such as gelatin, starch, lactose, magnesium stearate, talc, gum arabic or the like. It is possible to coat the tablets with sucrose or with other suitable substances, or they may alternatively be treated in such a way that they have a sustained or delayed activity and release a predetermined amount of active principle in continuous fashion.
A gelatin capsule preparation is obtained by mixing the active principle with a diluent and pouring the mixture obtained into soft or hard gelatin capsules.
A preparation in the form of syrup or elixir can contain the active principle together with a sweetener, preferably a zero-calorie sweetener, and methylparaben and propylparaben as antiseptic, as well as an agent imparting flavour and a suitable colouring.
The water-dispersible powders or granules can contain the active principle mixed with dispersing agents or wetting agents, or suspending agents, such as polyvinylpyrrolidone and the like, as well as with sweeteners or flavour correctors.
For rectal administration, suppositories are employed, which are prepared with binders melting at rectal temperature, for example cocoa butter or polyethylene glycols.
For parenteral administration, aqueous suspensions, isotonic saline solutions or sterile and injectable solutions are used, which contain pharmacologically compatible dispersing and/or wetting agents, for example propylene glycol or butylene glycol.
The active principle may also be formulated in the form of microcapsules, optionally with one or more excipients or additives.
The examples which follow illustrate the invention without, however, limiting it.

The mother liquors are kept.
The salt obtained is taken up with water (20 ml), HCl (30 ml) and ether (100 ml). The mixture is stirred to dissolution. The organic phase is separated after settling has taken place, dried and evaporated. Benzyloxycarbonylcyclopentylglycine is obtained, which is treated immediately with concentrated HCl (15 ml) and AcOH (15 ml). The mixture is heated to reflux for 3 hours. It is evaporated to dryness. The residue is taken up with dry ether, filtered off and dried. (S)-Cyclopentylglycine hydrochloride is obtained.

Optical purity of the (R)-cyclopentylglycine:
0.10 g of the above hydrochloride are dissolved in absolute methanol. The mixture is cooled to -40.degree. C., 0.5 ml of thionyl chloride is added and the mixture is left for 24 hours at room temperature. It is concentrated under vacuum, the residue is taken up in anhydrous chloroform (20 ml), and triethylamine (0.2 ml) and (S)-phenylmethyl isocyanate (0.074 ml) are added. The mixture is left for 24 hours and the chloroform is then evaporated off. The residue is chromatographed on silica gel; eluent: ethyl acetate. Concentration of the pure fractions yields 0.1 g of the methyl ester. The NMR spectrum in CDCl.sub.3 shows, at around 3.8 ppm, the presence of two signals for --CO.sub.2 CH.sub.3. Integration shows that the weaker signal represents 4%, the more intense signal 96%.
The enantiomeric excess is hence 92%.
It is also possible to prepare the cycloalkyl-.alpha.-amino acids of R or S configuration by stereospecific enzymatic hydrolysis of the corresponding racemic N-acetyl derivatives, according to J. HILL et al., J. Org. Chem., 1965, 1321.
