3-Amino, 4-thio-substituted, 5-sulphamyl-benzoic acid derivatives

This invention relates to a series of new compounds, and to methods for the production of the compounds.
The new compounds have the general formula ##SPC2##
In which A stands for ##EQU3## R.sup.2 --O--, R.sup.2 --S--, R.sup.2 --OS--, or R.sup.2 --O.sub.2 S--, and R.sup.1, R.sup.2, R.sup.3, and R.sup.4 each represents an aliphatic radical, a cycloaliphatic radical, or an aromatically, cycloaliphatically or heterocyclically substituted aliphatic radical; in addition R.sup.2 and R.sup.3 may each represent an aromatic or heterocyclic radical; and when A is ##EQU4## R.sup.1 and R.sup.2 together with the nitrogen atom can represent a heterocyclic ring system with from 5 to 8 ring members, and which may have additionally one or more nitrogen, oxygen, or sulphur atoms in the ring; R.sup.5 represents a lower alkyl radical, and R.sup.6 represents a lower alkyl radical or an acyl group; R.sup.1, R.sup.3, R.sup.4, R.sup.5, and R.sup.6 may also be each a hydrogen atom. The invention further comprises salts, esters, and amides of the compounds of formula I.
In particular, each of R.sup.1, R.sup.2, R.sup.3, and R.sup.4 may represent a straight or branched, saturated or unsaturated, alkyl radical, e.g. a methyl, ethyl, propyl, isopropyl, butyl, isobutyl, or tert. butyl radical, or one of the different isomeric pentyl, hexyl, or heptyl radicals, an alkenyl or alkynyl radical, e.g. a vinyl, allyl, or propargyl radical, a cycloalkyl or cycloalkenyl radical, e.g. a cyclopropyl, cyclobutyl, cyclopentyl, cyclohexyl, cycloheptyl, or cyclooctyl radical, or one of the different isomeric cyclopentenyl or cyclohexenyl radicals, or an adamantyl radical. The aliphatic radicals may further contain hereto atoms, e.g. oxygen, sulphur, or nitrogen which may interrupt the carbon chain, and may be further substituted, e.g. with lower alkyl radicals. In the aromatically, cycloaliphatically or heterocyclically substituted aliphatic radicals, the aromatic part of the radical can be a mono- or bicyclic aryl radical, e.g. a phenyl or naphthyl radical, the cycloaliphatic part of the radical can be one of the cycloalkyl or cycloalkenyl radicals mentioned above, the heterocyclic part of the radical can be a mono- or bicyclic radical containing one or more oxygen, sulphur, and nitrogen atoms as ring members, e.g. 2-, 3-, or 4-pyridyl, 2- or 3-furyl or -thienyl, thiazolyl, imidazolyl, benzimidazolyl, and the corresponding hydrogenated ring systems, and the aliphatic part of the radicals can contain 1 to 4 carbon atoms. Illustrative examples of such aromatically or heterocyclically substituted aliphatic radicals are benzyl, 1- or 2-phenylethyl, 1- or 2-naphthyl-methyl, furyl-methyl, and the corresponding ethyl, propyl, and butyl radicals. When, additionally, R.sup.2 and R.sup.3 represent aromatic or heterocyclic radicals these can be the mono- or bicyclic radicals already mentioned above.
When A represents ##EQU5## and R.sup.1 and R.sup.2 together with the nitrogen atom represent a heterocyclic ring system, this stands particularly for a saturated or unsaturated heterocyclic ring optionally containing one or more nitrogen, oxygen, or sulphur atoms, such as piperidyl, morpholinyl, thiomorpholinyl, pyrrolidyl, imidazolyl, thiazolidyl, piperazinyl etcetera radicals. When R.sup.6 represents an acyl group, it is preferably a lower aliphatic acyl group, e.g. an acetyl or propionyl group.
All the above mentioned radicals can be substituted in different positions with different groups, such as one or more halogen atoms, e.g. chlorine or bromine atoms, with an alkyl or halo-alkyl group, e.g. trifluoromethyl, with carboxy, carbalkoxy, or carbamyl radicals, di-lower alkylamino radicals, or hydroxy groups, which may be etherified or esterified, with etherified mercapto groups, or with sulphonamide groups.
The salts of the compounds of the invention are pharmaceutically acceptable salts, and include, for example, alkali metal salts, alkaline earth metal salts, the ammonium salt, or amine salts formed, for instance, from mono-, di-, or trialkylamines, from mono-, di-, or trialkanolamines, or from cyclic amines. The esters of the compounds are preferably derived from substituted or unsubstituted lower aliphatic alcohols, phenols, or aralkyl alcohols, e.g. the methyl ester, the cyanomethyl ester, the phenyl ester, and the benzyl ester.
The compounds of the invention possess valuable therapeutic properties and have, according to animal experiments performed in connection with the present invention, a particularly strong effect as diuretics and saluretics, the ratio between the excretion of sodium ions and potassium ions being very favourable. Furthermore the compounds are not carboanhydrase inhibitors, and these facts in connection with the favourable therapeutic index and a low toxicity make the present compounds particularly valuable.
The effect of the present compounds is surprising in respect to the disclosure in the specification of our Belgian Patent No. 716,122 as it was not to be foreseen that the halogen substituent in the neighbouring position to the sulphonamide group could be replaced with the result that compounds with even stronger activity were obtained.
Illustrative examples of compounds of formula I having a particularly strong effect are compounds where A is as defined above and where R.sup.1, R.sup.3, and R.sup.5 are hydrogen, R.sup.2 is a substituted or unsubstituted phenyl group, R.sup.4 is an alkyl radical having from 3 to 6 carbon atoms, or a benzyl, furfuryl, or thienylmethyl radical, R.sup.6 is hydrogen, a methyl group or lower aliphatic acyl group, and the methyl esters of these compounds.
The present compounds are effective after oral, enteral or parenteral administration, and for therapeutic purposes they are preferably formulated as tablets, pills, dragees, or capsules containing the free acid of salts thereof with atoxic bases, or the esters or amides thereof, mixed with carriers and/or auxiliary agents.
Pharmaceutical organic or inorganic, solid or liquid carriers suitable for oral, enteral, or parenteral administration can be used to make up compositions containing the present compounds. Gelatine, lactose, starch, magnesium stearate, talc, vegetable and animal fats and oils, gum, polyalkylene glycol, or other known carriers for medicaments are all suitable as carriers.
The compositions may further contain other therapeutic compounds applied in the treatment of, for example oedemas and hypertension, besides the well known auxiliary agents. Such other compounds may be, for instance, Veratrum- or Rauwolfia alkaloids, e.g. reserpine, rescinnamine, or protoveratrine, or synthetic hypotensive compounds, e.g. hydralazine, or other diuretics and saluretics, such as the well-known benzothiadiazines, e.g. hydroflumethiazide, bendroflumethiazide, and the like. Potassium-sparing diuretics, e.g. triamterene, may also be used in the preparation of the compositions. For some purposes it may be desirable to add small amounts of carboanhydrase inhibitors or aldosterone antagonists, e.g. spironolactone.
Salts, which are soluble in water, may with advantage be administered by injection. The pharmaceutical preparations are useful in the treatment of oedematous conditions, e.g. cardiac, hepatic, renal, lung and brain oedema, or oedematous conditions during pregnancy, in the treatment of pathological conditions which produce an abnormal retention of the electrolytes of the body, and in the treatment of hypertension.
Another object of the invention resides in the selection of a dose of one of the new compounds, and its salts which can be administered so that the desired activity is achieved without simultaneous secondary effects. It has been found that the compounds and their salts are conveniently administered in dosage units containing not less than 0.1 mg, and up to 25 mg, preferably from 0.25 to 2.5 mg, calculated as the free acid of formula I.
By the term "dosage unit" is meant a unitary, i.e. a single dose which is capable of being administered to a patient, and which may be readily handled and packed, remaining as a physically stable unit dose comprising either the active material as such or a mixture of it with solid or liquid pharmaceutical diluents or carriers.
If the composition is to be injected, a sealed ampoule, a vial or a similar container may be provided containing a parenterally acceptable aqueous or oily injectable solution or dispersion of the active material as the dosage unit.
The parenteral preparations are useful in particular in the treatment of conditions where a quick dehydration is desirable, e.g. in the intensive therapy applied in the case of oedemas in the lung. In the continuous therapy of patients suffering from e.g. hypertension, the tablets or capsules may be the appropriate form of pharmaceutical preparation owing to the prolonged effect obtained when the drug is given orally, in particular in the form of sustained-release tablets.
In the treatment of heart failure and hypertension, such tablets may advantageously contain other active components, as specified hereinbefore.
The present compounds may be provided by various methods. In one embodiment of the invention a compound of the general formula ##SPC3##
in which A, R.sup.3, and R.sup.6 are as hereinbefore defined, or a salt, an ester, or an amide thereof, is subjected to a reduction, for example by catalytic hydrogenation using a noble metal catalyst, to yield the compounds of the invention, in which R.sup.4 and R.sup.5 are hydrogen atoms. In some cases, for instance when the substituents would be affected by a catalytic hydrogenation, other reducing agents, such as sodium dithionite or metallic iron, may be preferred. The compounds so obtained, preferably in the form of a salt or an ester, can be monoalkylated by reaction with a compound of the formula R.sup.4 X, R.sup.4 being as defined hereinbefore, and X being a halogen atom, preferably chlorine or bromine, a hydroxyl group, or a sulphonyloxy group, an alkyl- or aryl-sulphonyloxy group, the carboxylic acid group subsequently being liberated, if desired. The R.sup.5 group can subsequently be introduced by an ordinary alkylation process or by a reductive alkylation in known manner.
In another embodiment, a 3-amino-4-A-5-R.sup.3 R.sup.6 -sulphamylbenzoic acid or an ester or amide thereof is subjected to reductive alkylation, using in the reaction an aldehyde, which is capable of introducing the corresponding R.sup.4 substituent; on the other hand the esters and amides can be prepared as the last step from the carboxylic acid of formula I, and the R.sup.6 -substituent may be introduced as an intermediary step, or as a last step.
The different steps of the process are standard procedures including reductive alkylation, hydrogenation, esterification, amidation, using a reactive derivative of the corresponding carboxylic acid, or hydrolysis, and the reaction conditions may vary according to the starting products and the substituents of the reacting compounds. The compounds are obtained in free form or in form of their salts, esters or amides depending upon the conditions under which the reaction is performed.
The starting material of formula IV is prepared according to the following reaction scheme: ##SPC4##
in which formulae A and R.sup.3 have the meanings before defined and R.sup.6 is a lower alkyl, the compound III being used either as the free carboxylic acid or in the form of a salt, or an ester, in which latter case the compound IV is also obtained as an ester, which, if desired, may be hydrolyzed. In the case, where R.sup.6 is an acyl group, the compounds of formula IV can be provided by acylation of the corresponding compounds in which R.sup.6 is hydrogen.
If desired, the carboxylic acid group of the compounds of formula IV can be amidated using a reactive derivative thereof, e.g. an acid halide.
The starting materials of formula II and of formula III, in which R.sup.3 and R.sup.6 are hydrogen atoms, are described in the specification of our Belgian Patent No. 716,122.
The N-substituted sulphamyl derivatives of formula III are generally prepared by treating a compound of formula II with an amine ##EQU6## R.sup.3 being different from hydrogen, and R.sup.6 being an alkyl group or hydrogen, preferably under mild conditions, i.e. at low temperature and without an excess of the amine ##EQU7## and usually in the presence of a base which is not capable of being alkylated and which is used as an acceptor for the acid liberated by the process.
The reaction product of formula III, or an ester or an amide thereof, is treated with a compound of the formula A-H, A being as defined above, i.e. with an amine, an alcohol, a thioalcohol, a phenol, a thiophenol, or a sulphinic acid to form a compound of formula IV, or the corresponding ester. In the case where A stands for ##EQU8## A-H is used in the reaction if the form of the free amine, in the case where A stands for R.sup.2 --O--, R.sup. 2 --S--, or R.sup.2 --O.sub.2 S--, reaction conditions are used in which the ionic form of A is present or in which A is an alcoholate, thioalcoholate, phenolate, or thiophenolate, or a sulphinate, respectively. Water, ethanol, aqueous alcohols, or alcohols of the formula R.sup.2 --OH--, wherein R.sup.2 is as hereinbefore defined, as well as other suitable solvents may, if desired, be used as reaction media in this process, and the reaction temperature depends on the reactants used.
In the case where A stands for ##EQU9## and is identical with ##EQU10## the compound of formula II can be transformed in one step into a compound of formula IV, using not less than two equivalents of the amine ##EQU11##
The compounds of formula IV, A being R.sup.2 --S--, can furthermore be converted to the corresponding sulphinyl or sulphonyl derivatives by oxidation, e.g. with hydrogen peroxide, the amount of peroxide and the reaction conditions being decisive for the degree of oxidation, whereafter the compounds of formula I can be obtained as described above.
In another embodiment of the method for the preparation of the compounds of the invention in which A stands for R.sup.2 --OS-- and R.sup.2 --O.sub.2 S--, the compounds can also be and are preferably prepared from the corresponding compounds of formula I in which A is R.sup.2 --S-- by oxidation with, for instance, hydrogen peroxide. Depending upon the amount of hydrogen peroxide and the reaction conditions used, the oxidation results in the sulphinyl or the sulphonyl derivatives. These oxidations can be performed on the free carboxylic acids as well as on salts, on esters, or on amides thereof. In the case where a carboxylic acid derivative is obtained, the free carboxylic acid may be liberated subsequently by well-known processes, if desired. Compounds of the invention, in which the substituents are unsaturated, may be hydrogenated or transformed by addition-reactions into other compounds of the invention, and further substituents in R.sup.2 and in R.sup.4 may be introduced or removed on any reaction step.

The invention will now be described by the following examples which are only illustrative and are not to be limiting:
