5,6,7-Trinor-4,8-inter-m-phenylene PGI.sub.2 derivatives

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION
This invention relates to prostaglandin I.sub.2 derivatives.
Prostaglandin I.sub.2 (PGI.sub.2, prostacyclin) is a compound discovered in 1976 by J. R. Vane et al., which has called attention as a substance exerting potent platelet aggregation-inhibiting and aorta-contracting activities after having been biosynthesized from archidonic acid via an endo-peroxide (PGH.sub.2) at the aortic wall [CdEN, Dec. 20, 1976, p. 17; S. Moncada, R. Gryglewski, S. Bunting and J. R. Vane, Nature, 263, 633 (1976)]. ##STR1##
However, PGI.sub.2 which has an exo-enol structure is extremely unstable even in neutral aqueous solution and is readily subjected to conversion to 6-oxo PGF.sub.1 which has almost no physiological activities. Such instability of PGI.sub.2 is a big obstacle to its use as a drug. PGI.sub.2 is also metabolized quickly in the body and its physiological actions are not durable.
It is an object of this invention to overcome the disadvantages inherent in PGI.sub.2.
Another object of this invention is to provide novel PGI.sub.2 derivatives which are stable and possess platelet aggregation-inhibiting, hypotensive anti-ulcer and other activities.
Other objects and advantages of this invention will be apparent from the descriptions hereinbelow.

The step A-1 involves alkylation of II with an alkyllithium or an alkylmagnesium halide. As the alkylating agent are mentioned for example, cyclopentyl magnesium bromide, 3-methyl cyclopentyl magnesium bromide, 3-ethyl cyclopentyl magnesium bromide, cyclopentylmethyl magnesium bromide, 3-methyl cyclopentylmethyl magnesium bromide, 3-ethyl cyclopentylmethyl magnesium bromide, 3-n-propyl cyclopentylmethyl magnesium bromide, cyclohexyl magnesium bromide, 2-methyl cyclohexyl magnesium bromide, 2-methyl cyclohexyl magnesium bromide, 3-methyl cyclohexyl magnesium bromide, 4-methyl cyclohexyl magnesium bromide, 4-ethyl cyclohexyl magnesium bromide, cyclohexylmethyl magnesium bromide, 3-methyl cyclohexylmethyl magnesium bromide, 4-methyl cyclohexylmethyl magnesium bromide, cyclopentyl magnesium bromide, cyclooctyl magnesium bromide, cyclododecyl magnesium bromide, phenyl lithium, p-tolyl lithium, m-tolyl lithium, m-chlorophenyl magnesium bromide, p-chlorophenyl magnesium bromide, m-bromophenyl magnesium bromide, p-bromophenyl magnesium bromide, m-fluorophenyl magnesium bromide, p-fluorophenyl magnesium bromide, 3,4-dimethoxyphenyl magnesium bromide, o-methoxyphenyl magnesium bromide, m-methoxyphenyl magnesium bromide, p-biphenyl magnesium bromide, p-phenoxyphenyl magnesium bromide, .alpha.-naphthyl magnesium bromide, .beta.-naphthyl magnesium bromide, p-trifluoromethyl phenyl magnesium bromide and the like. However, it is not limited to such compounds.
The alcohol thus obtained which is a mixture of the 15.alpha. and 15.beta. isomers is purified to separate the desired 15.alpha. isomer (III). The 15.beta. isomer is converted according to the step B-1 by a selective oxidation method of allyl alcohols (for example, by the use as the oxidizing agent manganese dioxide, chloral-carbon tetrachloride or aluminum tri-t-butoxide-acetone) to the 15-keto compound (VIII) or 15-keto compounds with a more general W moiety than in VIII, followed by conversion to a 15.alpha. plus 15.beta. mixture by means of a reducing agent such as zinc borohydride, sodium borohydride or CeCl.sub.3 -sodium borohydride. The 15.beta. isomer thus formed is again subjected to oxidation and reduction steps. Use as the reducing agent of diisobutylaluminum 2,6-di-tert-butyl-4-methylphenoxide [S, Iguchi et al., J. Org. Chem., 44, 1363 (1979)] or binaphthyl aluminum hydride [R. Noyori et al., J. Am. Che. Soc., 101, 3129 (1979)] will result in selective formation of the 15.alpha. compound.
The step A-2 is a process for protecting hydroxyl group of the alcohol III by an acyl or aroyl group. The acylation or aroylation is effected with an acid anhydride or halide in the presence of an appropriate base. Illustrative of the agent are acetic, propionic, butyric and benzoic anhydrides, acetyl, propionyl, butyoyl, benzoyl, p-bromo benzoyl, p-phenyl benzoyl, p-nitro benzoyl and p-methoxy benzoyl chlorides and the like. The base includes pyridine, 2-methyl pyridine, 2,6-dimethyl pyridine, 3-methyl pyridine, 4-methyl pyridine, triethylamine, tripropylamine, tri-t-butylamine, N,N-dimethyl benzylamine, N,N-dimethyl phenylamine, 1,5-diazabicyclo[5.4.0]undecene, 1,4-diazabicyclo[4.3.0]nonene, sodium acetate, sodium propionate, sodium butyrate and the like. The reagents, however, are not limited to those mentioned above.
The step A-3 represents catalytic removal of tetrahydropyranyl group with an acid catalyst to liberate hydroxyl group. The catalytic reaction may be carried out after adding an appropriate amount of an acid such as hydrochloric, hydrobromic, sulfuric, acetic, p-toluenesulfonic, or phosphoric acid or p-toluenesulfonic acid pyridinium salt to an appropriate solvent. The acid catalysts, however, are not limited to those mentioned above. The solvent mainly employed is an aqueous solvent such as acetonitrile-water, THF-acetic acid-water, or acetic acid-water, or methanol or ethanol. After completion of the reaction, the acid is neutralized or removed by distillation under reduced pressure, and the crude product is purified by column chromatography.
The step A-4 is a process for oxidizing the alcohol V in which an oxidizing agent conventionally applied for the oxidation of alcohols is employed. Specifically mentioned as the oxidizing agent are chromium trioxide-pyridine, chromium trioxide-acetic acid, bichromate-sulfuric acid-dimethylformamide, t-butyl chromate, dimethylsulfoxide-dichlorohexylcarbodiimide, pyridinium dichromatedimethylformamide, pyridinium chloro chromate and the like. The oxidizing agent, however, is not limited to those mentioned above. Preferred solvents are aqueous pyridine for chromium trioxide and dimethylformamide for pyridinium dichromate. Usually, use of pyridinium chromate in dimethylformamide produces good results. The reaction temperature may be in the range from -40.degree. C. to 100.degree. C. and is preferably from 0.degree. to 50.degree. C. to give a preferred reaction rate.
The step A-5 represents removal of the acyl or aroyl group by hydrolysis. Alkalies conventionally used for the hydrolysis of esters such as, for example, sodium hydroxide, potassium hydroxide, sodium methoxide, sodium ethoxide, sodium carbonate and potassium carbonate are preferably employed. After completion of the reaction, the reaction mixture is acidified to a pH from 6 to 1, preferably from 2 to 4.0.
The desired product can be isolated by extraction with an organic solvent from the acid solution.
Preparation of the starting material II used in the step A of the process shown in Chart A is illustrated below in Chart A'. ##STR60##
The starting material used in the step A'-1 3,5-bia(2,6-dibromophenoxy)cyclopentene-1 (A) is obtained by an ether synthesis from known compounds 3,5-cis-dibromocyclopentene-1 [W. G. Young et al., J. Am. Chem. Soc., 78, 4338 (1956)] and 2,6-dibromophenol [D. E. Peasons et al., J. Org. Che., 32, 2358 (1967)]. Usually, it is obtained by contacting potassium salt of 2,6-dibromophenol with 3,5-cis-dibromocyclopentene in an inert solvent. The product bis(2,6-dibromo phenoxy) cyclopentene is precipitated in solid form during the reaction due its low solubility. As the inert solvent is employed an ether solvent such as tetrahydrofuran, dimethoxyethane or diethyl ether, a hydrocarbon such as benzene, toluene or xylenes, dimethylformamide, dimethylsulfoxide or the like. In order to increase the reaction rate an interphasic transfer catalyst such as a Crown ether or an quaternary ammonium halide is added thereby ensuring better proceeding of the reaction.
The step A'-1 is a cyclization step of A by treating it with n-butyllithium with stirring at a temperature below 0.degree. C. for a period of 2-3 hours to obtain 3a,8b-dihydro-3H-5-bromocyclopenta[b]benzofuran (B). In place of the n-butyllithium may be used n-propylithium, n-amyllithium, isopropyllithium, sec-butyllithium, t-butyllithium or the like.
The step A'-2 involves formation of a carbon-carbon bond by the treatment with n-butyllithium at -78.degree. C. followed by addition of 4-iodobutylterahydropyranyl ether. In place of the m-butyllithium may be employed alkyllithiums such as propyllithium, amyllithium, isopropyllithium and t-butyllithium, or aryllithium such as phenyllithium and the like.
Both the steps A'-1 and A'-2 are conducted under argon or nitrogen in an anhydrous ether solvent such as, for example, diethyl ether, tetrahydrofuran, 1,2-dimethoxyethane or the like.
The step A'-3 is a stereo- and geometrospecific addition reaction of a bromohydrin to the double bond. The bromohydrin is formed in N-bromosuccinimide-dimethylsulfoxide-water, which is then reacted with C. The reaction mainly produces the desired compound stereo- and geometrospecifically advantageous for the object. The isomer is purified usually by conventional column chromatography. The purification and separation procedures may be omitted because separation is very easy for the two (syn and anti) epoxides produced in the next step.
The step A'-4 represents the conversion of bromohydrine into the epoxide. The compound D dissolved in an alcohol solvent is subjected to dehydrobromination with an alkali such as potassium carbonate or sodium carbonate to form the syn-epoxide (E).
The step A'-5 involves ring opening and alkylation of the epoxide with 1,3-bis(methylthio)allyl anion and subsequent desulfurization with a mercury or copper chloride. Reaction of E with 1,3-bis(methylthio)allyl anion [E. J. Corey, B. W. Erickson and R. Noyori, J. Am. Che. Soc., 93, 1724 (1971)] at -78.degree. C. gives rise to ring opening of the epoxide and introduction of bis(methylthio)allyl group. A mixture of the geometric isomers as it is desulfurized by addition of a mercury chloride and potassium carbonate followed by heating to 40.degree. C. Thus, there is introduced an .alpha..beta.-unsaturated aldehyde.
The step B-1 represents selective oxidation of an allyl alcohol which is achieved usually by the use of active manganese dioxide in methylene chloride. The reaction is carried out at a temperature from -40.degree. to 40.degree. C., usually from 0.degree. to 40.degree. C.
The step B-2 involves acylation or aroylation of an alcohol, which is carried out in the same way as in the step A-2.
In the step B-3, the tetrahydropyranyl group is subjected to solvolysis with an acid catalyst to liberate a hydroxyl group. The reaction is carried out in the same way as in the step A-3.
The step B-4 involves oxidation of an alcohol, which is carried out in the same way as in the step A-4.
The step B-5 involves conversion of a carboxylic acid to a corresponding ester to which conventional esterification technique can be applied. Usually, the reaction is effected by reacting a tertiary amine salt or silver salt of the carboxylic acid with an active halide (for example, benzyl bromide or chloride) or reacting a tertiary amine salt of the carboxylic acid with a chlorocarbonate ester to form in situ a mixed acid anhydride, adding a large excess of an alcohol R.sub.2 OH and then heating at a temperature from 20.degree. to 100.degree. C.
The step B-6 is a reduction step of the .alpha.,.beta.-unsaturated ketone in which the double bond is simultaneously reduced by the use of Zn(BH.sub.4).sub.2 conventionally employed for the object. This is especially so with the compounds wherein R.sub.10 is --Z--Ar.sub.2 in which Z represents a valence bond and Ar.sub.2 is phenyl or substituted phenyl groups. For such compounds, selective reduction of the keto group is applicable by adding sodium borohydride (NaBH.sub.4) to a mixture of the .alpha.,.beta.-unsaturated ketone with an equimolar amount of cerium trichloride.
The step B-7 is a methanolysis step which can effectively be conducted by adding to a solution of the compound in dry methanol a catalytic amount of a base such as sodium methoxide, potassium methoxide or anhydrous potassium carbonate. The reaction is carried out at a temperature from -15.degree. to 60.degree. C., usually from 10.degree. to 50.degree. C. with good results.
The step B-8 is a hydrolysis step of the methyl ester, which is carried out in the same way as in the step A-5.
The step C-1 is an esterification step for converting a carboxylic acid to a corresponding carboxylate ester, which can be carried out in the same way as in the step B-5. Unlike the step B-5 the conversion to a corresponding ester of this step may also be effected by the action of a diazoalkane. As the diazoalkane may be mentioned diazomethane, diazoethane, diazopropane, diazodecane and the like. The diazoalkanes, however, are not limited to those mentioned above. As the active halide which is applied to a silver or tertiary amine salt formed from the carboxylic acid may be mentioned benzyl chloride, benzyl bromide, p-bromobenzyl bromide, p-methoxybenzyl bromide, p-phenylbenzyl bromide, p-methylbenzyl bromide, phenacyl bromide, p-bromophenacyl bromide, p-nitrophenacyl bromide, .alpha.-benzoylphenacyl bromide and the like. The reaction solvent employed is usually an aprotic polar solvent such as dimethylformamide or acetonitrile. In producing the ester by a mixed acid anhydride method a carboxylic acid of the general formula (XVI) is usually reacted with a tertiary amine to form a quaternary salt, followed by addition of ethyl chlorocarbonate at a low temperature to generate in situ a mixed acid anhydride and subsequent addition of an excess of an alcohol or phenol, and the mixture is warmed. Specific examples of the alcohol or phenol include but are not limited to methanol, ethanol, propanol, butanol, octanol, decanol, isopropanol, 2-ethylhexanol, benzyl alcohol, p-bromobenzyl alcohol, phenetyl alcohol, cyclopentyl alcohol, cyclopentylmethyl alcohol, cyclohexanol, cyclohexylmethyl alcohol, 2-methoxyethanol, 2-(2-methoxyethoxy)ethanol, methyl glycolate, ethyl glycolate, methyl lactate, methyl .alpha.-hydroxybutyrate, 2-butyn-1-ol, 2-pentyn-1-ol, 1,3-di(O)-methylglycerin, 1,3-diacetylglycerin, phenol, p-bromo phenol, p-fluoro phenol, m-chloro phenol, m-fluro phenol, 3,4-dichloro phenol, p-(trifluoromethyl) phenol, p-methyl phenol, 3,4-dimethyl phenol, p-methoxy phenol, 4-phenoxy phenol, p-benzoylamino phenol and the like.
The step D-1 represents conversion of a carboxylic acid to a corresponding amide. Usually, a carboxylic acid of the general formula (XVI) is reacted with a tertiary amine to form a quaternary ammonium salt of the carboxylic acid followed by reaction with ethyl chlorocarbonate, p-toluenesulfonyl chloride or the like to form a mixed acid anhydride. Warming with an amine ##STR61## produces the desired product. The amine is illustrated by but not limited to N-methyl amine, N-ethyl amine, N-butyl amine, N-decyl amine, N,N-dimethyl amine, N,N-diethyl amine, aniline, p-bromo aniline, cyclohexyl amine, cyclopentyl amine, N-benzyl amine, p-bromobenzyl amine, p-chlorobenzyl amine, phenethyl amine and the like.
The step E-1 represents hydrolysis of the protective group to liberate a hydroxyl group, which can be carried out in the same way as in the step A-5.
The step F-1 is a reduction step of a double bond. As the reduction catalyst are used palladium-carbon, palladium-barium sulfate, metallic palladium, Raney nickel and the like. The reduction catalysts, however, are not limited to those mentioned above. The reaction is carried out under a pressure of hydrogen from atmospheric pressure to 300 kg/cm.sup.2. Usually, a satisfactory reaction rate is obtained under atmospheric pressure. As the solvent are employed alcohols such as ethanol and methanol and esters such as ethyl acetate with good results. Such solvents as benzene, toluene, tetrahydrofuran, dioxane and the like may also be employed.
The step G-1 is a step for reducing the double bond of an .alpha.,.beta.-unsaturated aldehyde to give a saturated aldehyde. It is carried out in the same way as in the step F-1, but the hydrogen pressure should be such that the aldehyde will not be reduced. The alcohol produced by partial reduction can easily be separated by column chromatography technique. The step G-2 is a step for alkylating or arylating the compound (XXI) with a lithium or Grignard compound, which is carried out in the same way as in the step A-1. The step G-3 is conducted in the same way as in the step A-2 except that the compound (III) used therein is replaced by the compound (XXII). The step G-4 is conducted in the same way as in the step A-3 except that the compound (IV) used therein is replaced by the compound (XXIII). The step G-5 is conducted in the same way as in the step A-4 except that the compound (V) used therein is replaced by the compound (XXIV). The step G- 6 is conducted in the same way as in the step A-5 by replacing the starting compound (VI) used therein by the compound (XXV).
The step H-1 is a step for removing the alcohol-protecting group by alkaline hydrolysis, which is carried out in the same way as in the step A-5 by replacing the compound (VI) used therein by the compound (XXIV).
The step I-1 represents conversion of a carboxylic acid to a corresponding amide, which can be carried out in the same way as in the step D-1 by replacing the starting material (XVI) used therein by the compound (XXVI).
The step J-1 is a step for selectively oxidizing an allyl alcohol to convert to an .alpha.,.beta.-unsaturated ketone, which is carried out in the same way as in the step B-1. The step J-2 is a step for trialkylsilylating the hydroxyl group. R.sub.14 in the general formula (XXXI) represents straight or branched chain alkyl containing 1-10 carbon atoms, which specifically includes but not limited to methyl, ethyl, propyl, butyl, octyl, isopropyl, t-butyl, 2-ethylhexyl and the like. For the silylation of the hydroxyl group the general methods described, for example, in "Protective Groups in Organic Chemistry", ed. by J. F. W. McOmie, pp. 103-104, Plenum Press (London and New York), 1973 and references given therein, can be applicable. Usually, trimethylsilylation or t-butyldimethylsilylation is employed most conveniently. The trimethylsilylation may be effected by treating with trimethylchlorosilane in the presence of a tertiary amine such as pyridine or triethylamine or with a mixture of hexamethyldisilazane and trimethylchlorosilane. For the t-butyldimethylsilylation, it is usually preferable to employ t-butyldimethylsilyl chloride in the presence of imidazole as the base. In general, other trialkylsilylation may also be effected by the reaction of a corresponding trialkylsilyl chloride in the presence of a base such as triethylamine. The step J-3 is accomplished by the reaction with a Grignard reagent such as R.sub.9 MgCl, R.sub.9 MgBr or R.sub.9 Mg I wherein R.sub.9 is as defined above in ether or tetrahydrofuran. The Grignard reagent is used in an amount in the range from 0.8 to 1.5 molar equivalents on the basis of the compound (XXXI). The product (XXXII) is usually used without isolation as the starting material for the step J-4. The step J-4 is a step for removing the hydroxyl-protecting trialkylsilyl group which is usually accomplished by warming a solution dissolved in an aqueous acid solvent. As examples of the aqueous acid solvent are mentioned acetic acid-water, acetic acid-tetrahydrofuran-water, acetic acid-ethanol water, ethanol-0.91 N hydrochloric acid and the like. The reaction is usually effected by allowing to stand in 10:1 ethanol/water mixture with a drop of acetic acid added at a temperature from 0.degree. to 50.degree. C. for a period from 0.5 to 5 hours. Alternatively, the compound (XXXII) may be reacted with a tetraalkylammonium fluoride. Usually, use of tetrabutylammonium fluoride produces satisfactory results.
The step K-1 is carried out in the same way as in the step J-1 by replacing the compound (XXIX) used therein by the compound (XIX). The step K-2 can be conducted in the same way as in the step J-2. The step K-3 can be conducted in the same way as in the step J-3 by replacing the compound (XXXI) used therein by the compound (XXXVI). The step K-4 can be conducted in the same way as in the step J-4.
The step L-1 is accomplished by converting the compound (XVI) to a mixed acid anhydride followed by reaction with a lithium sulfonamide reagent ##STR62## Conversion of the compound (XVI) to the mixed acid anhydride can be done by the use of the same method as described for the step D-1.
The steps shown in Charts A-L are carried out in the same manner with any of the d, l and dl compounds. For the production of the d or l isomers, the steps according to Charts A-L may be carried out using a corresponding optically active compound as the starting material. The optically active starting material may be obtained first by preparing an optically active compound according to the procedures as described below in Reference Examples 1-3 and then by preparing 3a,8b-cis-dihydro-3H-5-(4-tetrahydropyranyloxybutyl)-1,2-syn-epoxy-cyclopenta[b]-benzofuran according to the procedures as described in Reference Examples 4-10 which is in turn converted by the step A'-5 shown in Chart A' to the starting material (II).
The compounds of the general formula (I) obtained according to the present invention have potent platelet-aggregation inhibiting and hypotensive activities. The compounds are also highly active in protecting the gastric mucosa cells as well as in inhibiting gastric secretion.
More particularly, the compounds 1, 11 and 96 of the invention show platelet aggregation-inhibiting activities approximately as potent as those of prostaglandin E.sub.1. Human or rabbit (anesthesized) blood was treated with a 1/10 volume of 3.8% aqueous solution of sodium citrate to prevent coagulation. The blood was centrifuged at 200.times.g for 10 minutes to separate platelet-rich plasma. The plasma was subjected to aggregation by the treatment with arachidonic acid, adenosine diphosphate (ADP) and collagen according to Born's method (Nature, 1962, 194, 927). Inhibition of the aggregation was determined by the measurement by an aggrometer following pre-treatment with a compound of the invention.
The compounds 1, 11 and 96 of the invention have hypotensitive activities approximately equivalent to the activity of prostaglandin E.sub.1 at a dose of the former twice as much. The activities of the former are more durable. The drug in solution was infused intravenously into pentobarbital-anesthesized rats via the catheter kept therein followed by measurement of carotid aortic pressure.
As for the gastric mucosa-protecting action, injury on the gastric mucusa in rats caused by ethanol according to the method of Robert et al. (Gastroenterology, 1979, 77, 433) was greatly inhibited by oral administration of the compounds 1, 11 and 96 of the invention at doses of 10-30 mg/kg bodyweight, as low as 0.3-1 times the dose of prostaglandin E.sub.2.
The gastric juice secretion-inhibitory action was tested according Shay's method (Gastroenterology 1954, 26, 906). Subcutaneous injection of the compounds 1, 11 and 96 of the invention strongly reduced the amount of gastric juice at doses of 0.3-1 mg/kg bodyweight, as low as 0.1-0.3 times the dose of prostaglandin E.sub.2.
The compounds of the invention did not cause diarrhea in rats at a higher subcutaneous dose of 3 mg/kg bodyweight unlike prostaglandins E.sub.1 and E.sub.2.
50%-lethal doses of these compounds in mice by intraperitoneal or intravenous administration are 100-200 mg/kg bodyweight, thus indicating a large difference from the pharmacologically active dose.
One of the pharmaceutical applications of the compounds of this invention expected is as an anti-ulceric drug. For the purpose of treating gastric ulcer, for example, the compound is administered orally, subcutaneously, intramuscularly or intrarectally at doses of 0.01-100 mg per person once to three times a day.
Moreover, application as, an anti-thrombosic or hypotensive agent is expected. For example, the compound is given, for example, intravenously at doses of 0.001-100 mg/g/min for the purpose of treating Berger's disease, orally at doses of 0.01-50 mg per person once to three times a day when used as an anti-thrombosic agent, or orally at doses of 0.01-50 mg per person once to three times a day when used as a hypotensive agent.
The compounds of the invention may orally be administered in solid form containing excipients such as starch, lactose, sucrose, a certain clay and flavor-covering agent. They may also be given parentherally in the form of a sterile solution which may contain sodium chloride, glucose or the like in an amount sufficient to make it isotonic.
The compounds of the invention which are stable inherently by their chemical structures are encountered with no difficulties in preparing pharmaceutical formulations and find wide uses by a variety of routes of administration such as oral preparations, injections and suppositories.

The invention will be described in more details by way of examples of the process for preparing the compounds of the inventions. In the examples, the following abbreviations are used:
