All stereoisomers of the compounds of the instant invention are contemplated, either in admixture or in pure or substantially pure form. The compounds of the present invention can have asymmetric centers at any of the carbon atoms including any one of the R substituents. Consequently, compounds of formula I can exist in diastereomeric forms or in mixtures thereof. The above described processes can utilize racemates, enantiomers or diastereomers as starting materials. When diastereomeric products are prepared, they can be separated by conventional methods for example, chromatographic or fractional crystallization. Preferred compounds are those with the 3R or 4S stereochemistry.
It should be understood that the present invention includes prodrug forms of the compounds of formula I such as alkylesters of acids.
The compounds of the instant invention may, for example, be in the free or hydrate form, and may be obtained by methods exemplified by the following descriptions.
Compounds of formula I where R.sup.3 is trans-hydroxy and X is CH.sub.2, can be prepared by first reacting an epoxide of formula ##STR8## with an amine of formula
R.sup.1 --NH.sub.2 III
under heat or preferably in the presence of a Lewis acid such as magnesium perchlorate or trimethylaluminum to provide an intermediate of formula ##STR9##
The intermediate of formula IV is then derivatized by reductive amination using an aldehyde of formula ##STR10## in the presence of a reducing agent such as sodium cyanoborohydride or sodium triacetoxyborohydride. Alternatively, reductive amination can be effected with hydrogen gas in the presence of a catalyst such as palladium on carbon.

R.sup.1 --NH--X--R.sup.2 VI
in an organic solvent such as acetonitrile in the presence of a Lewis acid such as magnesium perchlorate or cobalt chloride.
Compounds of formula I wherein R.sup.2 is CO-amino or CO-substituted amino, can be prepared by reacting compounds of formula I wherein R.sup.2 is COOR.sup.8 with ammonia or an appropriate amine.

H.sub.2 N--X--R.sup.2 VII
under heat or in the presence of a Lewis acid (magnesium perchlorate, trimethylaluminum, etc.) to provide an intermediate of formula ##STR11## The intermediate of formula VIII is then reacted with a heterocycle containing a leaving group (e.g., 2-chlorobenzoxazole) in the presence of a base such as sodium hydride in an organic solvent such as tetrahydrofuran or dimethylformamide to form compounds of formula I where R.sup.1 is heterocyclo and R.sup.3 is trans-hydroxy.
Other compounds of formula I wherein R.sup.1 is heterocyclo (e.g., oxazole, pyrazole, isonazole etc.) can be prepared from intermediates of formula VIII by standard methods.
Compounds of formula I wherein R.sup.1 is heterocyclo (e.g., thiazole) can also be prepared by alkylation of a compound of formula IV with an alkylating agent of formula
L--X--R.sup.2 IX
where L is a leaving group such as a halogen, mesylate or tosylate.
Compounds of formula I wherein R.sup.3 is hydrogen can be prepared from compounds of formula ##STR12## by reaction with an amine of formula VI in the presence of a base such as sodium hydride or potassium carbonate. Alternatively, compounds of formula I where R.sup.3 is hydrogen can be prepared by first reacting a compound of formula X with an amine of formula III in the presence of a base (e.g., sodium hydride) to provide a compound of formula ##STR13##
The compound of formula XI is then converted to compounds of formula I where R.sup.3 is hydrogen by methods described for the conversion of compounds of formula IV to compounds of formula I.
Compounds of formula XI where R.sup.3 is hydrogen can also be prepared from the ketone of formula ##STR14## and the amine of formula III by standard techniques of reductive amination.
The ketone of formula XII can be obtained by standard methodology or by literature procedures, such as those disclosed by P. Sebok and T. Timar, Heterocycles, 1988, 27, 2595; P. Teixidor et al., Heterocycles, 1988, 27, 2459; A. Benerji and N. C. Goomer, Tetrahedron Letters, 1979, 3685; and G. Ariamala and K. K. Subramanian, Tetrahedron Letters, 1988, 29, No.28, 3487-3488.
The bromide of formula X can be prepared from the olefin of formula ##STR15## by (a) catalytic hydrogenation of the double bond followed by (b) radical bromination using standard methods. The olefin of formula XIII can be prepared by the methods described for the preparation of compounds of formula II.
Compounds of formula XI where R.sup.3 is hydrogen can also be prepared from compounds of formula IV by (a) dehydration of the alcohol with sodium hydride in aprotic solvents such as tetrahydrofuran; and (b) catalytic hydrogenation or reductive amination by sodium cyanoborohydride or sodium triacetoxyborohydride.
If any of the R substitutents, X or Y groups contain reactive groups such as hydroxy or amino that can interfere with the epoxide opening reaction or any other reactions, they should be protected with appropriate protecting groups.
Compounds of formula II wherein Y is a single bond can be prepared according to D. R. Buckle, et al., J. Med. Chem., 1991, 34, 919.
Compounds of formula II wherein Y is CH.sub.2 can be prepared by methods described in V. A. Ashwood, et al., J. Med. Chem., 1991, 34, 3261.
Compounds of formula II where Y is oxygen, can be prepared by methods described in the literature, such as by J. M. Evans, et al., J. Med, Chem., 1983, 26, 1582; J. M. Evans, et al., J. Med. Chem., 1986, 29, 2194; R. W. Lang et al., Helvetica Chimica Acta, 1988, 71, 596; European patent 0205292 A2 and PCT patent 87/07607.
Compounds of formula II where Y is N(R) can be prepared according to PCT patent 85/050083.
To prepare enantiomers of epoxide II, the olefin of formula XIII is epoxidized with an oxidizing agent such as commercial bleach using a metal catalyst such as chiral manganese catalyst of the formula ##STR16## as described by N. H. Lee, et al. (Tetrahedron Letters, 1991, 32, 5055-5058), to provide predominantly the chiral epoxide of formula ##STR17## depending on the chirality of the 1,2-diaminocyclohexane used in the preparation of a compound of formula XIV as described by Lee et al.
The epoxides of formulae IIA and IIB can then be utilized to prepare the chiral compounds of formula I.
Compounds of formula I where R.sup.3 is OC(O)R.sup.8 can be prepared from compounds of formula I where R.sup.3 is hydroxy by treatment with an acid chloride of formula
Cl--C(O)R.sup.8
in the presence of a base catalyst such as pyridine or triethylamine.
All other compounds of formula I may be prepared by modification of the procedures discussed herein as known by those skilled in the art. The intermediates used to prepare compounds of formula I are described herein or may be derived from known compounds by those skilled in the art or are commercially available.
The compounds of the present invention can have asymmetric centers at carbons 2-4 of the bicyclic ring. Also, any one of the R's can have an asymmetric carbon. Consequently, compounds of formula I can exist in diastereomeric forms or in mixtures thereof. The above described process can utilize racemates, enantiomers or diastereomers as starting materials. When diastereomeric products are prepared, they can be separated by conventional chromatographic or fractional crystallization methods.
The antiischemic and antihypertensive effects of benzopyran based and related potassium channel openers are usually stereoselective, with the 3S,4R- enantiomer being the more active isomer. However, it has been unexpectedly found that compounds of formula I are "selective antiischemic agents" with the 3R,4S-enantiomer being the more potent isomer. The term "selective antiischemic agent" means that these compounds possess little or no vasodilator activity (i.e., these compounds have IC.sub.50 (rat aorta) values greater than that of the known potassium channel activator, cromakalim. Therefore, in the treatment of ischemic hearts, the compounds of the instant invention are less likely to cause coronary steal, profound hypotension and coronary under-perfusion.
The preferred compounds of the present invention are those compounds of formula I where:
a, b and d are carbon atoms;
X is alkyl;
Y is a single bond or --O--;
R.sup.1 is aryl or heterocyclo;
R.sup.2 is --COOR.sup.8, --CO-amino, --CO-substituted amino, --NHCOCH.sub.3, --NHSO.sub.2 Me, --NHCONH.sub.2, --NH(C=NCN)NH.sub.2, imidazole, furan, pyridine, oxazole, hydroxy, --NHCO-substituted amino or --SO.sub.2 Me;
R.sup.3 is hydroxy;
R.sup.4 and R.sup.5 are methyl;
R.sup.6 is cyano, --NO.sub.2, --CF.sub.3, halo, alkyl or tetrazol; and
R.sup.7 is hydrogen.
Compounds of formula I may be used as antiischemic agents, i.e., for the treatment of ischemic conditions such as myocardial ischemia, cerebral ischemia, lower limb ischemia and the like.
Thus a composition containing one (or a combination) of the compounds of this invention, may be administered to a species of mammal (e.g., humans) suffering from an ischemic or hypertensive condition.
A single dose, or two to four divided daily doses, provided on a basis of about 0.001 to about 100 mg per kilogram of body weight per day, preferably about 0.1 to about 25 mg per kilogram of body weight per day is appropriate. The substance is preferably administered orally, but parenteral routes such as the subcutaneous, intramuscular, intravenous or intraperitoneal routes or any other suitable delivery system, such as intranasal or transdermal routes can also be employed.
As a result of the potassium channel activating activity of the compounds of this invention, these compounds are also useful in the treatment of cardiovascular disorders and any disorders associated with smooth muscle contraction. For example, compounds of the present invention are useful as therapy for congestive heart failure, therapy for peripheral vascular disorders (e.g. Raynaud's Disease), therapy for pulmonary hypertension, as anti-anginal agents, as antifibrillatory agents, and in limiting myocardial infarction.
Compounds of the present invention are additionally expected to be useful in the treatment of central nervous system disorders (e.g., Parkinsonism, as anti-tremor agents, epilepsy), in therapy for renal failure, in therapy for urinary incontinence, as anti-diarrheal agents, in therapy for pre-eclampsia, dysmenorrhea and premature labor, for the treatement of male impotence, as well as for the promotion of hair growth (e.g., in the treatment of male pattern baldness), and as anti-asthmatic agents.
The compounds of this invention can also be formulated in combination with a diuretic such as chlorothiazide, hydrochlorothiazide, flumethiazide, hydroflumethiazide, bendroflumethiazide, methylchlothiazide, trichloromethiazide, polythiazide or benzthiazide as well as ethacrynic acid tricrynafen, chlorthalidone, furosemide, musolimine, bumetanide, triamterene, amiloride and spironolactone and salts of such compounds, angiotensin converting enzyme inhibitors such as captopril, zofenopril, fosinopril, enalapril, ceranopril, cilazopril, delapril, pentopril, quinapril, ramipril, lisinopril, and salts of such compounds, thrombolytic agents such as tissue plasminogen activator (tPA), recombinant tPA, streptokinase, urokinase, prourokinase, and anisoylated plasminogen streptokinase activator complex (APSAC, Eminase, Beecham Laboratories), or calcium channel blocking agents such as nifedipine or diltiazem. Such combination products if formulated as a fixed dose employ the compounds of this invention within the dose range described above and the other pharmaceutically active agent within its approved dose range.
The compounds of formula I, and combinations thereof, can be formulated, as described above, in compositions such as tablets, capsules or elixirs for oral administration, in sterile solutions or suspensions for parenteral administration, and may also be administered via transdermal patch or nasal inhalation solutions. About 10 to about 500 milligrams of a compound of formula I is compounded with physiologically acceptable vehicle, carrier, excipient, binder, preservative, stabilizer, flavor, etc., in a unit dosage form as called for by accepted pharmaceutical practice. The amount of active substance in these compositions or preparations is such that a suitable dosage in the rang indicated is obtained.
