More specifically, it relates to a remedy for hypertension, peripheral arterial occlusion or bronchial asthma whose effective components are 4-amino-5-oxy-2,6,6-trimethyl-2-cycloheptene compounds, their pharmacologically acceptable salts and their solvates.
BACKGROUND ART
The present inventors have isolated and identified 4,5-dihydroxy-2,6,6-trimethyl-2-cyclohepten-1-one (hereunder referred to as "Saishin N") from the crude drug Asarum Siebeldi, as a useful antiulcer substance, and have developed a method for its chemical production, filing a patent application therefor (Japanese Unexamined Patent Publication No. Hei-3-275640) as well as a patent application for various Saishin N compounds with antiulcer effects (Japanese Unexamined Patent Publication No. Hei-5-213811).
It was found that the Saishin N compounds are effective for the treatment of ischemic and reperfusion disorders and the improvement of microcirculatory blood flow, and patent applications were filed therefor (Japanese Unexamined Patent Publication Nos. Hei-7-17852, Hei-7-101858).
DISCLOSURE OF THE INVENTION
The present Inventors have diligently researched aminolysis reactions of eucarvone-4,5-oxide for the purpose of synthesizing Saishin N compounds with amino groups, and have completed the present invention based upon the finding that Saishin N compounds with an amino group selectively introduced at position 4 may be obtained by using the method of Marco Chini et al. �Tetrahedron Letters, Vol. 31, 4661 (1990)!, and that the resulting 4-amino-5-oxy-2,6,6-trimethyl-2-cyclohepten-1-one compounds and their oxime derivatives exhibit an effect against rat peripheral arterial occlusion models, spontaneous hypertensive rats, histamine-induced airway contraction models and passive sensitization models.
According to the present invention there are provided 4-amino-5-oxy-2,6,6-trimethyl-2-cycloheptene compounds represented by the following general formula: ##STR2## (wherein R.sup.1 and R.sup.2 each independently represent a hydrogen atom, an alkyl group, or a phenyl group which may have a hydroxyl group, lower alkoxy group, amino group, nitro group, carboxyl group, lower alkoxycarbonyl group or halogen atom, or R.sup.1, R.sup.2 and the nitrogen atom together represent a saturated nitrogen heterocyclic group; R.sup.3 represents a hydrogen atom, a lower alkyl group or a lower aliphatic acyl group; and W represents an oxo group, oxime group or oxime ether group); and their pharmacologically acceptable salts and their solvates, as well as pharmaceutical composition containing then as an effective ingredient.
The alkyl group is an acyclic or cyclic alkyl group of 1 to 10 carbon atoms, and preferably 1 to 8 carbon atoms, and it may be substituted with a hydroxyl group, lower alkoxy group, amino group, lower alkylamino group, lower dialkylamino group, or a phenyl group which may have a hydroxyl group, lower alkoxy group, amino group, nitro group, carboxyl group, lower alkoxycarbonyl group or halogen atom. Specific examples thereof include methyl, ethyl, propyl, isopropyl, butyl, isobutyl, sec-butyl, tert-butyl, isopentyl, neopentyl, tert-pentyl, hexyl, isohexyl, heptyl, octyl, cyclopropyl, cyclobutyl, cyclopentyl, cyclohexyl, cycloheptyl, cyclooctyl, 2-hydroxyethyl, 2-methoxyethyl, 2-dimethylaminoethyl, benzyl, 4-ethoxycarbonylbenzyl, phenethyl and 4-phenylbutyl groups.
The halogen atom may be fluorine, chlorine, bromine or iodine.
The saturated nitrogen heterocyclic group is pyrrolidine, piperidine, homopiperidine, piperazine, homopiperazine or morpholine which may have a lower alkyl group, hydroxyl group, lower alkoxy group, carboxyl group, lower alkoxycarbonyl group, oxo group or an acetal group thereof on its ring.
The oxime ether is a lower alkyloxime ether or benzyloxime ether.
The term "lower" here refers to an acyclic or cyclic saturated hydrocarbon group of 1 to 4 carbon atoms.
Pharmacologically acceptable salts of the compounds of the invention include salts of inorganic acids such as hydrochloric acid, hydrobronic acid, hydroiodic acid, sulfuric acid and phosphoric acid; salts of organic acids such as acetic acid, tartaric acid, fumaric acid and maleic acid; salts of sulfonic acids such as methanesulfonic acid, ethanesulfonic acid, camphorsulfonic acid, benzenesulfonic acid and toluenesulfonic acid; and salts of alkali metals or alkaline earth metals such as sodium, potassium and calcium.
In addition, solvates (including hydrates) of the compounds of the invention which may be produced by common methods from free compounds of the invention and their salts are also encompassed within the present invention.
Stereoisomers of the compounds of the invention exist which are derived from the asymmetrical carbon atoms at positions 4 and 5 of the cycloheptene ring and from oximes, and all of these stereoisomers and their mixtures are also included within the present invention.
A method of producing the compounds of the invention will now be explained.
4-amino-5-oxy-2,6,6-trimethyl-2-cyclohepten-1-one (compound A) may be obtained by subjecting eucarvone-4,5-oxide to an aminolysis reaction in the presence of a metal salt. ##STR3##
(where R.sup.1 and R.sup.2 are the same as defined above.)
The metal salt used for the reaction may be a perchlorate such as lithium perchlorate, magnesium perchlorate or sodium perchlorate; a chloride such as calcium chloride or zinc chloride; or a trifluoromethanesulfonate of a lanthanide, such as ytterbium trifluoromethanesulfonate, neodymium. trifluoromethanesulfonate or gadolinium trifluoromethanesulfonate.
The reaction solvent may be any one which does not inhibit the reaction, and acetonitrile may be used when the metal salt is a perchlorate or chloride, while methylene chloride or benzene may be used when the metal salt is a lanthanide trifluoromethanesulfonate.
Compound B wherein R.sup.2 of compound A is a hydrogen atom may be N-alkylated to obtain compound C. ##STR4## (where R.sup.1 is as defined above, and R.sup.2 represents a lower alkyl group.)
The N-alkylation may be accomplished by a method of treatment with an aldehyde under reductive conditions, or a method of treatment with an alkylating agent such as a lower alkyl halide.
Methylation with an aldehyde may be accomplished by heating in formic acid. An alcohol such as methanol or ethanol may be added as a reaction solvent.
Compound A may be oximated to obtain compound D. ##STR5## (wherein R.sup.1 and R.sup.2 each independently represent a hydrogen atom, an alkyl group which may have a substituent, or a phenyl group which may have a hydroxyl group, lower alkoxy group, amino group, nitro group, carboxyl group, lower alkoxycarbonyl group or halogen atom, or R.sup.1, R.sup.2 and the nitrogen atom together represent a saturated nitrogen heterocyclic group; and R.sup.4 represents a hydrogen atom, lower alkyl group or benzyl group.)
The oximation may be accomplished according to the method of E. J. Corey �Tetrahedron Letters, Vol. 27, 2199 (1986)!, whereby compound A is reacted with the hydrochloride of a hydroxylamine or alkoxylamine in methanol in the presence of pyridine.
Protection of the amino group or hydroxyl group of compound B with an acyl group and the oxo group with a methyloxime ether may be followed by alkylation of the hydroxyl group with a lower alkyl halide and then removal of the protecting groups to obtain compound E. ##STR6## (wherein R.sup.1 represents a hydrogen atom, an alkyl group which may have a substituent, or a phenyl group which may have a hydroxyl group, lower alkoxy group, amino group, nitro group, carboxyl group, lower alkoxycarbonyl group or halogen atom, and R.sup.3 represents a lower alkyl group.)
The acyl group may be a carboxylic acyl group such as acetyl, trifluoroacetyl or benzoyl, or a carbamate acyl group such as tert-butyloxycarbonyl or benzyloxycarbonyl.
In the above-mentioned acetylation reaction, acetylation of the amino group occurs when R.sup.1 is an alkyl group which may have a substituent, and acetylation of the hydroxyl group occurs when R.sup.1 is a phenyl group. However, the acetyl group on the hydroxyl group is transferred to the amino group during the alkylation reaction, to obtain the O-alkylated compound E.
The alkylation may be accomplished by using a lower alkyl halide in the presence of a suitable base.
The base may be a metal alkoxide such as sodium methoxide, sodium ethoxide or potassium tert-butoxide, or sodium hydride, potassium hydride, sodium amide, butyl lithium or lithium diisopropylamide.
The solvent used for the reaction may be an ether such as diethyl ether, dimethoxyethane, tetrahydrofuran or dioxane, or a polar aprotic solvent such as dimethylformamide or dimethylsulfoxide.
The protecting groups may be removed by heating in appropriately diluted hydrochloric acid, hydrobromic acid or sulfuric acid.
Effect
The pharmacological effects of the compounds of the invention will now be explained in detail.
�Effect on rat peripheral arterial occlusion models!
Models were prepared following the method of Iwamoto et al. (Iwamoto, M. et al., Japanese Pharmacology & Therapeutics, Vol. 14, Suppl. 5, p. 41, 1986). Upon minimal dissection of the femoral regions of SD rats (6 per group) with a body weight of 250.about.350 g under Nembutal anesthesia, 0.1 ml of 5% lactic acid was administered intraarterially. The rats were raised for 14 days under normal conditions, and observed for lesions of the lower legs. The grading for the lesions was: "1" for nigrities only at the nail tips, "2" for nigrities up to the digits, "3" for necrosis of the digits, and "4" deciduation of the digits. Each of the digits of the lower legs on the side where lactic acid had been administered were graded, and the overall grade was determined as the index of lesions. The disorder inhibition rate was determined by dividing the index of lesions in the drug-administered group by the index of lesions of the control group. The drugs were dissolved in physiological saline or dimethylsulfoxide, and injected through the caudal vein 5 minutes prior to injection of the 5% lactic acid. As shown in Table 1, the compounds of the invention inhibited occurrence of peripheral arterial occlusion.

�Effect on guinea pig bronchoconstriction!
After urethane anesthetization of male Hartley guinea pigs (body weight: 350.about.450 g, 5 per group, Nihon Crea Co.), a small cannula was inserted into trachea. Next, gallamine triethiodide (1 mg/kg) was intravenously administered, and the tracheal cannula was connected to a constant volume respirator. The artificial respiration was conducted with an air volume per breath of 7.about.10 ml, a breath frequency of 60/min and a lung application pressure of 10 cm water. The volume of air overflowing from the legs on the cannula side was recorded on a polygraph (RM6100: product of Nihon Koden Co.) with a model 7020 bronchospasm transducer (product of Ugo Basile). Hydrochloride of the test compounds were dissolved in physiological saline, and inhalation was performed with reference to the method of Minami et al. (Minami, S. et al., Japanese Journal of Thoracic Diseases, Vol. 21, No. 3, p. 252, 1983). The inhalation load apparatus was prepared by directly incorporating an ultrasonic nebulizer into an artificial respiration circuit (Omron ultrasonic aspirator NE-U11B, product of Tateishi Electric Co.). The test compound (mg/0.5 ml) was administered by inhalation for 30 seconds, and after 2 minutes histamine (3 .mu.g/kg) was intravenously administered and the air overflow volume was measured. The bronchoconstriction rate was calculated as a percentage with 100 being the height of contraction when the airway was completely constricted. The inhibition rate was calculated by dividing the contraction rate of the test compound group by the contraction rate of the control group. As shown in Table 2, the compounds of the invention inhibited bronchoconstriction.

�Effect on antigen-induced guinea pig bronchoconstriction!
Male Hartley guinea pigs (body weight: 300.about.450 g, Nihon Crea Co.) were intraperitonealy administered anti-DNP-Ascarls serum (1024-fold antibody titer) at 0.5 ml/kg. After 24 hours, under urethane anesthesia there were inserted a cannula into the trachea, a sphygmomanometric cannula into the left cervical artery and a drug injection cannula into the right jugular vein, and gallamine triethiodide (1.0 mg/0.5 ml/kg) was intravenously administered and connected to an artificial respirator (product of Ugo Basile). For the test, diphenhydramine (60 mg/ml/kg) was intraperitoneally administered, the compound of Example 16 was inhaled as the test compound after 14 minutes, and following intravenous administration of DNP-bovine serum albumin (1.0 mg protein/0.5 ml/kg) one minute after administration of the test compound, the degree of bronchoconstriction was observed over a period of 15 minutes. The bronchoconstriction rate was given as a percentage of the maximum air over flow volume obtained by clamping off the trachea. The test compounds were inhaled by nebulizing for 30 seconds with an ultrasonic nebulizer. As shown in FIG. 1, the compounds of the invention inhibited airway contract ion.
�Effect on blood pressure of anesthetized rats!
Male SD rats (body weight: 250.about.350 g, product of Nihon Crea Co.) were placed under urethane anesthesia and then a sphygmomanometric pressure transducer was inserted into the left cervical artery and recording was made on a polygraph (RM6100, product of Nihon Koden Co.) using a strain pressure amp (AP-621G, product of Nihon Koden Co.). The test compounds were dissolved in physiological saline and administered intravenously. The change in blood pressure was indicated as the reduction rate from the initial value of diastolic blood pressure just prior to administration of the test compound. As shown in Table 3, the compounds of the invention lowered the blood pressure of anesthetized rats.

�Effect on spontaneous hypertensive rats (SHR)!
Male SHRs (body weight: 270.about.300 g, Nihon Charles River Co.) which had been raised for at least one week were subjected to blood pressure measurement twice, on the day of the test and the day prior thereto, and the average values were used as initial values. The systolic blood pressure was measured by the tail-cuff method, using a noninvasive sphygmomanometer (Programmed Electro-Sphygmomanometer PE-300: Narco Bio-Systems, Inc.). The test compounds were dissolved or suspended in a 0.5% methyl cellulose solution and administered orally, and at 3 hours after administration the blood pressure was measured. During the blood pressure measurement, the animals were warmed for 15 minutes in an incubator. As shown in Table 4, the compounds of the invention reduced SHR blood pressure.

�Inhibiting effect on platelet aggregation (in vitro)!
Platelet rich plasma was prepared from Japanese white male house rabbits (body weight: 2.5.about.3.0 kg) following the method of Suzuki et al. (Suzuki, K. et al., The Clinical Report, Vol. 21, No. 13, p. 5263, 1987). The resulting platelet rich plasma solution was appropriately diluted with a Tris-Tyrode buffer solution (pH 7.4) to prepare a 4.times.10.sup.5 platelet/.mu.l platelet suspension to be used for the test. The platelet aggregation was measured using a platelet aggregometer (NBS Hematoracer 601, product of Nikoh Bioscience Co.). Specifically, 250 .mu.l of the platelet suspension, 5 .mu.l of a 96 mM calcium chloride solution and 5 .mu.l of the test compound solution dissolved in methanol were added to a cuvette, and after incubating for one minute at 37.degree. C., 20 .mu.l of an aggregating agent was added and the maximum degree of aggregation occurring was determined. The aggregating agents used were platelet activating factor (PAF) (2.5 ng/ml) and arachidonic acid (68.6 .mu.g/ml). The 50% inhibition concentration (IC.sub.50) was calculated from the results of measurement with various concentrations of each test compound. As shown in Table 5, the compounds of the invention inhibited platelet aggregation.

�Effect on calcium contraction (in vitro)!
This was investigated according to the method of Ishibashi, et al. (Ishibashi, A. et al., Folia Pharmacologica Japonica, Vol. 82, p. 361, 1983). Male SD rats of body weight approximately 300 g were used to prepare thoracic aorta extract specimens, which were suspended and immobilized in a organ bath containing 10 ml of Krebs-Henseleit buffer solution at 37.degree. C. through which a mixed gas of oxygen (95%) and carbon dioxide (5%) had been passed. After equilibrating the specimens, they were equilibrated in a buffer solution without calcium chloride and then in an isotonic calcium-free 80 mM potassium chloride buffer solution replaced with potassium ions, and a resting tension of 0.2 g was applied. Contraction was induced by addition of 0.3 mM calcium chloride. The test compounds were added 10 minutes prior to addition of the calcium solution. The percent inhibition of the test compounds were calculated using the first contraction as the control (100% contraction). The test compounds were used for the test as solutions in dimethylsulfoxide at a 1.times.10.sup.-7 M concentration. As shown in Table 6, the compounds of the invention inhibited calcium contraction of the thoracic aorta.

EXAMPLE 1
4-benzylamino-5-hydroxy-2,6,6-trimethyl-2-cyclohepten-1-one
Lithium perchIorate (5.3 g, 50 millimoles) and benzylamine (5.4 ml, 50 millimoles) were added to an acetonitrile solution (50 ml) containing eucarvone-4,5-oxide (8.5 g, 50 millimoles), and the mixture was heated to reflux for 10 hours.

To an ethanol solution (20 ml) containing the 5-hydroxy-4-piperidino-2,6,6-trimethyl-2-cyclohepten-1-one obtained in Example 16 (5.0 g, 20 millimoles) was added an ethanol solution (20 ml) containing (-)-dibenzoyl tartrate (3.76 g, 10 millimoles), and the resulting crystals were filtered and dissolved in methanol (30 ml). After concentrating the solution it was recrystallized from ethanol to obtain 3.3 g of dibenzoyl tartrate salt. This was dissolved in water, alkalified with a 10% aqueous sodium hydroxide solution, and the aqueous solution was subjected to extraction with hexane. The residue obtained from concentrating the hexane solution was recrystallized from hexane to obtain 1.6 g (32%) of (+)-5-hydroxy-4-piperidino-2,6,6-trimethyl-2-cyclohepten-1-one as colorless needles. �.alpha.!D.sup.20 : +119.degree.
