Description

FIELD OF THE INVENTION

The present invention relates to new 4-thioquinazoline derivatives, processes for their preparation and their use as antiulcer agents.

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION

The agents used as the antiulcer drugs include H.sub.2 -receptor antagonists, anticholinergic agents, gastric mucosal protective agents and antacids, which are used depending upon the symptom of patients. These known agents, however, are of such drawbacks as generally weak activity and frequent occurrence of side effects.

For example, cimetidine, which is a H.sub.2 -receptor antagonist widely employed, is known to have side effects such as gynecomatism. Moreover, numbers of cases are reported about recurrence of ulcer after suspension of administration with cimetidine. Anticholinergic agents are known to have such side effects as suppression of gastric motility, corediastasis and thirst. Furthermore, they exhibit activity only for a limited period of time. Antacids are known to have frequent occurrence of such side effects as constipation.

As described above, known antiulcer agents were limitedly used in terms of manner of administration due to their side effects, and they have common drawback of exhibiting somewhat weak activity.

Quinoxalinyl esters of carbamimidothioic acids are disclosed in Chem. Abstr. vol. 97, 216239k (1982), which are prepared by reacting 2-chloroquinoxalines with thioureas and useful as gastric secretion inhibitors and antihypertensives (no data).

The present invention results from efforts to develop new 4-thioquinazoline derivatives with more improved antiulcer effect.

DISCLOSURE OF THE INVENTION

According to the invention, there are provided 4-thioquinazoline derivatives of formula (I) ##STR2## wherein R.sup.1 is a C.sub.1 -C.sub.6 alkylamino group, a phenyl group, a substituted phenyl group or a 5- or 6-membered heterocyclic group containing one or two N, O or S as a hetero atom or atoms, said heterocyclic group optionally being substituted or fused with a benzene ring; n is 1 or 2; or R.sup.2 is a hydrogen atom or a C.sub.1 -C.sub.6 alkyl group, and pharmaceutically acceptable acid addition salts thereof.

In the above formula (I), where R.sup.1 is a C.sub.1 -C.sub.6 alkylamino group, it includes e.g., a di-C.sub.1 -C.sub.6 alkylamino group such as dimethylamino, diethylamino, etc. Where R.sup.1 is a substituted phenyl group, the substituent or substituents include e.g., a C.sub.1 -C.sub.6 alkYlamino group such as di-C.sub.1 -C.sub.6 alkylamino group (e.g., dimethylamino) and a C.sub.1 -C.sub.6 alkoxy group (e.g., trimethoxy). Thus, the substituted phenyl group includes e.g., dimethylaminophenyl and trimethoxyphenyl.

Where R.sup.1 is a 5- or 6-membered heterocyclic group, it includes e.g., furyl, thienyl, benzimidazolyl, pyridyl (e.g., 2-, 3- or 4-pyridyl) and quinolyl. The 5- or 6-membered heterocyclic group may be substituted with at least one C.sub.1 -C.sub.6 alkyl and/or C.sub.1 -C.sub.6 alkoxy group. The C.sub.1 -C.sub.6 alkyl group includes e.g., methyl, ethyl, propyl, isopropyl, butyl, isobutyl, pentyl and hexyl.

EXAMPLE 7

The antiulcer activity of the compounds of this invention was determined by the following method.

Four-week-old ddy series male mice were used as the test animals after they were fasted for 24 hours. Each test compound suspended in a 1% gum arabic solution was administered to the stomach of each mouse at a dose of 100 mg/kg, and then, after 30 minutes, 20 mg/kg of indomethacin was administered orally. Four hours after the administration of indomethacin, the stomach of mouse was extirpated and the length of ulcers was measured. Then, the ulcer index was determined by the total sum of the scores as calculated in Table 1.

TABLE 1______________________________________Length ofulcer 0.5mm < 1mm < 21mm < 3mm <______________________________________Score 0.5 1 2 3______________________________________

The mean ulcer index of each group was calculated and the suppression rate against the control group in terms of difference in the mean ulcer index was determined. The results are shown in Table 2.
