SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION

The compounds useful in the novel method of inhibiting secretion of hydrochloric acid and treating peptic ulcers in mammals, in the present invention, are 4-amino-3-quinolinecarboxylic acids and esters which have the formula: ##STR2## wherein: R.sub.1 is selected from the group consisting of loweralkyl, phenyl, O-loweralkyl, S-loweralkyl, halogen, trifluoromethyl, cyano and dialkylamino,

R.sub.2 is selected from the group consisting of loweralkyl, phenyl, phenylloweralkyl or phenyl substituted by 1-3 radicals taken from among loweralkyl, O-loweralkyl, S-loweralkyl, halogen, cyano, hydroxy, carbamoyl, carboxy, acetyl, trifluoromethyl, and nitro, R.sub.3 is selected from the group consisting of hydrogen, loweralkyl, loweralkyldimethylamino, loweralkyl-loweralkoxy, and allyl, n is 0, 1 or 2, and the pharmaceutically acceptable addition salts thereof.

The antisecretory effect of reduced flow of gastric juice and hydrochloric acid in pyloric-ligated rats was demonstrated when the esters of 4-amino-3-quinolinecarboxylic acids of this invention were administered orally, subcutaneously, intraperitoneally, intraduodenally and intravenously. Effective ulceration reduction was also demonstrated in pyloric-ligated rats. The compounds of Formula I as stated hereinabove also were shown to reduce gastric secretion induced, for example, by histamine, tetragastrin and methacholine. Gastric acid output in Heidenhain pouch dogs stimulated with food was also reduced.

Accordingly, it is an object of the present invention to provide a novel method of controlling excess gastric acid output in mammals which comprises administering an acid-reducing amount of a compound of Formula I wherein R.sub.1, R.sub.2, R.sub.3 and n are as hereinabove defined.

Another object is to provide a novel method of treating mammals for peptic ulceration which comprises administering to the mammal an effective amount which is a peptic ulcer inhibiting amount of a 4-amino-3-quinolinecarboxylic acid or ester compound of Formula I wherein R.sub.1, R.sub.2, R.sub.3, and n are as defined hereinabove.

Another object is to provide novel 4-amino-3-quinolinecarboxylic acids and esters particularly effective for their control of gastric ulcers.

Still another object is to provide pharmaceutical compositions for accomplishing the foregoing objects comprised of suitable pharmaceutical carriers, for various routes of administration, of certain of the compounds of this invention.

Additional objects and advantages of the present invention will be apparent to one skilled in the art and others will become apparent from the following description of the best mode of carrying out the present invention and from the appended claims.

The term "loweralkyl" as used in the specification and claims includes straight and branched chain radicals of up to eight carbon atoms inclusive and is exemplified by such groups as methyl, ethyl, propyl, isopropyl, butyl, isobutyl, tertiary butyl, amyl, isoamyl, hexyl, heptyl, octyl and the like.

Representative of "phenylloweralkyl" radicals are benzyl (phenylmethyl), .alpha.-methylbenzyl, phenylethyl, phenylpropyl, phenylbutyl, and the like.

The compounds of the present invention are prepared from appropriate 4-chloro-3-quinolinecarboxylic acid esters as represented by the following equation: ##STR3## wherein R.sub.1, R.sub.2, and n are as hereinabove defined, and R.sub.3 is loweralkyl.

The Formula II compounds were prepared by chlorinating appropriate 4-hydroxy-3-quinolinecarboxylic acid esters with phosphorous oxychloride generally by the method described by Kermack & Storey, J. Chem. Soc. 1951, pp 1389-92. The equation is: ##STR4## wherein R.sub.1 and n are as defined hereinabove, and R.sub.3 is loweralkyl.

The Formula III compounds wherein R.sub.3 is ethyl were prepared by heating a mixture of appropriately substituted anilines and diethyl ethoxymethylenemalonate to form an intermediate anilinoacrylate and thereafter cyclizing in a high boiling solvent such as diphenyloxide as described by Price and Roberts in J. Amer. Chem. Soc. 68, 1204-8. The reaction is represented by the following equation: ##STR5## Acids (R.sub.3 =H) of the present invention may be prepared from esters (R.sub.3 =loweralkyl) by usual methods of hydrolysis and other esters of this invention may be prepared by usual methods of re-esterification.

Compounds preferred for their effectiveness in control of gastric secretion and/or treatment or prevention of peptic ulcers in mammals have the formula: ##STR6## wherein: R.sub.1 is selected from the group consisting of loweralkyl, phenyl, O-loweralkyl, S-loweralkyl, halogen, trifluoromethyl, cyano and dialkylamino,

R.sub.2 is selected from the group consisting of loweralkyl, phenyl, phenylloweralkyl or phenyl substituted by 1-3 radicals taken from among loweralkyl, O-loweralkyl, S-loweralkyl, halogen, cyano, carbamoyl, carboxy, acetyl, trifluoromethyl, and nitro, R.sub.3 is selected from the group consisting of hydrogen, loweralkyl, loweralkyldimethylamino, loweralkyl-loweralkoxy, and allyl, and the pharmaceutically acceptable addition salts thereof. For example, the effect of ethyl 8-methoxy-4-[(2-methylphenyl)amino]-3-quinolinecarboxylate hydrochloride on histamine-induced gastric secretion was found to be over 43% more effective than ethyl 6-methoxy-4-[(2-methylphenyl)amino]-3-quinolinecarboxylate at one half the dosage level.

Utilizing the foregoing method described by Price and Roberts, the following ethyl-4-hydroxy-3-quinolinecarboxylates of Formula II were prepared from diethylethoxymethoxymalonate and aniline or known aniline derivatives as follows:

A stirred mixture of ethyl 4-hydroxy-8-methoxyquinoline-3-carboxylate, 66.63 g (0.269 mole) and phosphorous oxychloride (350 ml) was warmed until all the solid had dissolved and then heated at reflux temperature for two hours. After cooling to below 100.degree. C. the mixture was concentrated in a rotary evaporator. The residual oil was dissolved in 100 ml acetone and the solution poured onto an ice-water mixture (800 ml). The mixture was neutralized with 6 N sodium hydroxide solution and the solid product extracted successively with 450 ml, 250 ml and 100 ml portions of methylene chloride. The extracts were combined, washed with water, dried over anhydrous magnesium sulfate and concentrated to yield 68.16 g crude product. This crude product was dissolved in 500 ml hot toluene and filtered to remove a small quantity of insoluble material. The toluene solution was filtered through a bed of 250 g fluorisil followed by two liters of toluene and four liters of chloroform. The purified solution was concentrated to give 64.17 g of oil (89%) which crystallized to an off-white solid on cooling. The solid melted at 75.degree.-77.degree. C.

A general procedure for preparing esters of Formula I (R.sub.3 =loweralkyl) of the present invention is to react an appropriate 4-chloro-3-quinolinecarboxylic acid ester with an appropriate amine in a polar aprotic solvent such as tetrahydrofuran or dioxane, following the reaction by thinlayer chromatography and modifying temperature and time to complete the reaction. In some instances the reacting amine may be used as the reaction solvent. Various solvents are used for recrystallizing. To prepare the free base from a salt the salt is dissolved and a base such as sodium hydroxide is added and the free base is extracted into a suitable organic solvent. To prepare additional salts the free base is mixed with an alcoholic solution of an acid, for example, phosphoric acid or sulfuric acid.

The foregoing is a general description of how to prepare the esters of the invention. The following Examples 1 and 2 generally illustrate the preparation of the ester compounds. The esters of Examples 3 to 71 and 74 to 80 were also prepared by reacting the appropriate amine with the appropriate ethyl 4-chloro-3-quinolinecarboxylate selected from Preparations 1 to 15. Examples 81-84 and 89 illustrate the preparation of esters wherein R.sub.3 is loweralkyl, loweralkyldimethylamino, loweralkyl-loweralkoxy or allyl by the re-esterification of esters wherein R.sub.3 is loweralkyl. Preparation of the acids and acid salts thereof of Formula I (R.sub.3 =H) is illustrated in Examples 72 and 73, wherein the ester is hydrolyzed to the acid. Metal salts of the acids such as alkali metal salts may also be prepared by usual methods of reacting with an alkali metal base and isolating the salts. Examples 85-88 further illustrate the conversion of free bases of esters of this invention to their acid addition salts. Physical data and analysis obtained are in Tables 1 and 2. The presentation of examples, however, shall not be construed as a limitation of the scope of the compounds of the invention set forth in Formula I.

1-Methylethyl 8-Methoxy-4-[(2-methylphenyl)amino]-3-quinolinecarboxylate, Monohydrochloride, Monohydrate

To 150 ml of dry 2-propanol was added 2 sodium pellets followed by 5.38 g (15.99 mmoles) of ethyl 8-methoxy-4-[(2-methylphenyl)amino]-3-quinolinecarboxylate dissolved in 50 ml of dry 2-propanol. The solution was stirred and refluxed with exclusion of moisture for 6 hrs. during which time 120 ml of distillate was collected in a Dean-Starke trap and discarded. The solvent was evaporated and the residue was dissolved in 50 ml of 2.9 M hydrochloric acid and 100 ml of water added thereto. The solution was adjusted to a pH of 8 with 1 M aqueous sodium bicarbonate and the oil which separated was extracted three times with 100 ml of methylene chloride. The combined extracts were dried over magnesium sulfate. The solvent was evaporated to give 4.60 g (82%) of the free base of the titled compound having a m.p. of 120.degree.-122.degree. C. after recrystallization from acetone-hexane.

The free base was dissolved in isopropyl ether and ethereal hydrogen chloride added thereto. The solvent was evaporated and the residue recrystallized from methylene chloride-acetone to obtain the titled compound as a yellow crystalline solid having a m.p. of 140.degree.-143.degree. C.
