Description

Present invention relates to new, 7-substituted benzopyrane derivatives of formula (I) ##STR1## and to a process for the preparation thereof. The new compounds are useful in treatment of heart diseases.
The substituents in formula (I) can have the following meanings:
R.sub.1 and R.sub.2 are hydrogen, alkyl of from one to six carbon atoms, hydroxyalkyl, alkenyl, cycloalkyl, phenylalkyl or dialkoxyphenylalkyl, or R.sub.1 and R.sub.2 together with the nitrogen atom may form a heterocyclic ring,
R.sub.3 is hydrogen, alkyl of from one to four carbon atoms or phenyl,
R.sub.4 is hydrogen,
R.sub.5 is hydrogen or phenyl, or
R.sub.4 and R.sub.5 together represent a bonding electron pair between the second and the third carbon atoms of the benzopyrane ring,
R.sub.6 and R.sub.7 are hydrogen or they may form an oxygen atom together,
N is 1 or 2,
provides that the pyrane ring may bear only one alkyl or phenyl substituent.
The salts of compounds of formula (I) particularly the acid addition salts which are pharmaceutically acceptable, non-toxic salts formed with inorganic acids, for example with hydrogen chloride, hydrogen bromide, sulfuric acid or phosphoric acid, or with suitable organic acids, particularly with carboxylic acids and sulfonic acids, for example with acetic acid, succinic acid, glycolic acid, lactic acid, tartric acid, citric acid, ascorbic acid, maleic acid, benzoic acid, toluenesulfonic acid, or quaternary ammonium salts formed with compounds of formula R.sub.8 X, wherein R.sub.8 is alkyl of from one to four carbon atoms, most preferably methyl, and X is preferably halogen, sulfate or phosphate, are also included.
Compounds of formula (I) can be used for therapeutic purposes in optically active and also in racemic form; both forms fall within the scope of our invention.
Aryloxypropanolamines of different types are known to be useful for the treatment of heart diseases, mainly for curing heart arrhythmia, angina pectoris and hypertension. The therapeutic effect of the compounds is mostly supposed to derive from their .beta.-adrenergic receptor blocking effect.
Oxypropanolamine moieties of these therapeutically active compounds are almost always identical, the amino group is generally substituted with a branched alkyl group, usually with an isopropyl or a tert-butyl group, and the advantageous therapeutic effects are achieved by variations in the aryl rings. The .alpha.-naphthyl group and phenyl groups substituted with different substituents have been found to be advantageously applicable aryl groups. Furthermore it is known that several oxypropanolamine derivatives containing another substituent particularly a condensed heterocyclic ring-in place of the phenyl or naphthyl group, also have favorable effects in cardiotherapy. Though this latter group embraces also some oxypropanolamines substituted with an oxygen-containing heterocycle, no 7-substituted benzopyrane of formula (I) is known having advantageous cardiotherapeutical effects, moreover, benzopyranes of formula (II) ##STR2## wherein R.sub.8 represents methyl or phenyl, were firmly declared not to possess any cardiotherapeutical effect, though this could have been expected because of their very similar structure to that of compounds of formula (I) [J. Med. Chem., 15, 868, (1972)].
On this basis the conclusion can be drawn that from point of view of efficiency beyond the aminoalcohol moiety the structure of the heterocycle also plays a decisive role.
It has surprisingly been found that 7-substituted benzopyranes of formula (I) and pharmaceutically acceptable addition salts thereof have various very valuable therapeutical properties, mainly in cardiotherapy, depending upon the substituents of the pyrane ring and the number of carbon atoms of the alkanolamine moiety; consequently these compounds can be used in human therapy, in particular for treatment or prophylaxis of coronary diseases, for treatment of heart arrhythmia, for restraint of tone of smooth muscles and for lowering blood pressure.
Compounds of formula (Ia) ##STR3## constitute a special group of compounds of formula (I) and possess very valuable pharmacological properties, namely antiarrhythmic, and antianginic effects according to the experiments carried out. In formula (Ia) R.sub.1 and R.sub.2 are as defined above, preferably R.sub.1 is branched alkyl or cycloalkyl, and R.sub.2 is hydrogen. For example the 4-cyclohexylamino-1-(2-phenyl-3,4-dihydro-2H-1-benzopyrane-7-yloxy)-2-butanol given to rats in the i.v. measured LD.sub.50/10 dose revokes arrhythmia induced by 30 .mu.g/kg i.v. aconitin. It suspends ventricular tadhycardia provoked by Strophantin in anesthetized cats for a long time (19 minutes), remarkably increases the ventricular fibrillation threshold in open-chested anesthetized cats and has a stronger effect that that of Propranolol.
Accordng to electrophysiological studies the effect of the above compound in 5.times.10.sup.-5 M concentration to the effective refractory period in guinea pig isolated left auricle is stronger by nearly an order of magnitude than that of Practolol, and is almost as strong as the effect of Propranolol. The antiisoproterenol effect of the compound is moderated. There is an antiisoproterenol effect in guinea pig isolated left auricle in a concentration of 5.times.10.sup.-5 M, while a similar effect in trachea preparation can be achieved only in a concentration of 10.sup.-4 M. Runs of the concentration curves show that the antiisoproterenol effect is not of a competitive character, so compounds of formula (Ia) of our invention despite their strong antiarrhythmic effect cannot be considered as .beta.-receptor blocking agents.
From the pharmaceutical point of view the strong antianginic effect of our compounds of formula (Ia) is very important. The 4-cyclohexylamino-1-(3-phenyl-3,4-dihydro-2H-1-benzopyrane-7-yloxy)-2-butanol in a dose of LD.sub.50/40 eliminates practically completely the increase of the T-wave in the electrocardiogram of rabbits anesthetized with urethane, said increase being induced by 0.5 E/kg ornithine-vasopressin. This effect significantly surpasses the effect of Propranolol.
It is favorable, that beside their important antiarrhythmic and antianginic effects compounds of formula (Ia) decrease only slightly blood pressure and heart frequency of anesthetizied cats; hence they have no heart-weakening effect.
Propanolamines of formula (Ib) ##STR4## constitute another special subgroup of compounds of formula (I). In formula (Ib) R.sub.1 and R.sub.2 are as defined above. These compounds have also very advantageous pharmaceutical effects, which, however, differ from the effects of the butanolamines of formula (Ia). The 3-isopropylamino-1-(3-phenyl-3,4-dihydro-2H-1-benzopyrane-7-yloxy)-2-propanol introduced i.v., or administered to rabbits enterally causes significant and long-lasting blood pressure lowering without affecting the heart frequency, the volume of breathing and the frequency of breathing. A 10 .mu.g/0,1 ml dose increases the coronary flow in rat Langendorff-heart.
Compounds of formula (Ic) ##STR5## wherein R.sub.1, R.sub.2 and n are as defined above, also constitute a special subgroup of compounds of formula (I) and possess further advantageous therapeutical effects; their blood pressure lowering effect is extraordinarily strong. So the 3-isopropylamino-1-(3,4-dihydro-2H-1-benzopyrane-7-yloxy)-2-propanol also in a LD.sub.50/320 mg/kg i.v. dose causes a blood pressure lowering of 33,5% in anesthetized cats (LD.sub.50 =66 mg/kg i.v. in mice).
Compounds of formula (Id) ##STR6## wherein R.sub.3 is as defined above, but different from hydrogen, R.sub.1, R.sub.2 and n are as defined above, constitute a special subgroup of compounds of formula (I) and possess advantageous therapeutical properties; they show significant antiisoproterenol properties, so they can be used in therapy as .beta.-adrenerg receptor blocking agents. Among the compounds of formula (Id) the 1-(2-methyl-3,4-dihydro-2H-1-benzopyrane-7-yloxy)-3-cyclohexylamino-2-propanol is especially advantageous, because in an LD.sub.50/10 i.v. dose it inhibits strongly the blood pressure lowering and heart frequency increasing effects induced in cats by 2 mg/kg i.v. administered isoproterenol.
Compounds of formula (Ie) ##STR7## wherein R.sub.1 and R.sub.2 are as defined above, R.sub.3 is as defined above but is different from phenyl group, constitute a special subgroup of compounds of formula (I) and possess further advantageous therapeutical effects.
These compounds in an LD.sub.50/10 i.v. dose significantly moderate the arrhythmia induced in rats by administering 30 .mu.g/kg i.v. aconitin, furthermore they reduce the blood pressure lowering and the increase of heart frequency provoked by isoproterenol. 1-(2-methyl-4H-1-benzopyrane-4-one-7-yloxy)-3-(1,1-dimethyl-ethylamino)-2-propanol has especially advantageous therapeutical effects; in an LD.sub.50/20 i.v. dose it reduces strongly (by 50.2%) the blood pressure of anesthetized cats, without significantly affecting their heart frequency. Besides, this compound is a spasmolytic agent with parasympatholytic and direct striped muscle effects on rabbit ilium, and is also effective against spasms induced in rat intestine by acetylcholine or by barium chloride.
Novel compounds of formula (I) can be prepared by per se known methods described hereinbelow:
(a) a compound of formula (III) ##STR8## wherein R.sub.3, R.sub.4, R.sub.5, R.sub.6 and R.sub.7 are as defined above and Z is a group of formula ##STR9## or --CHOH(CH.sub.2).sub.n --Hlg, wherein n is as defined above, Hlg means halogen, preferably chloro or bromo, is reacted with an amine of formula R.sub.1 R.sub.2 NH, wherein R.sub.1 and R.sub.2 are as defined above, or
(b) for preparing compounds of formula (I) wherein R.sub.1 and R.sub.2 are hydrogen, the above process can also be carried out with dicarboxylic acid imides, most preferably with succinic imide or with phthalic imide in place of ammonia, whereby the formed N-substituted imides are decomposed in a known way by hydrolysis, in the case of phthalic imide most preferably with hydrazine.
Reactions (a) and (b) are performed preferably in an organic solvent, or in a water-containing organic solvent, or in a mixture of organic solvents, preferably in alcohols, most preferably in ethanol.
The reaction temperature is maintained between 10.degree. C. and 100.degree. C., preferably between 50.degree. C. and 90.degree. C. Reaction time varies between 0.2 hours and 20 hours depending upon the reaction temperature; in general, 2-4 hours at 60.degree.-85.degree. C. is the most suitable.
(c) a compound of formula (IV) ##STR10## constituting a special subgroup of compounds of formula (I), wherein R.sub.3, R.sub.4, R.sub.5, R.sub.7 and n are as defined above, is reacted with a carbonyl compound of formula (V) ##STR11## wherein R.sub.9 is hydrogen or alkyl of from one to six carbon atoms, R.sub.10 is alkyl of from one to six carbon atoms, phenylalkyl, dimethoxyphenyl or phenyl, or R.sub.9 and R.sub.10 together with the carbonyl carbon atom may also form a 5-7-membered ring, said reaction taking place by simultaneous forming of water, then the formed Schiff-base of formula (VI) ##STR12## wherein the R substituents and n have the same meanings as above, is reduced. The condensation reaction is accomplished either without solvent, triturating the reagents in a melt, or using an organic solvent or a diluent, preferably applying heating when compounds of formula (VI) form.
Reduction of compounds of formula (VI) can be performed by catalytic hydrogenation, preferably with a platinum, palladium or Raney-nickel catalyst, in a solvent, preferably in ethanol. Reduction of compounds of formula (VI) can preferably be carried out using a chemical reducing agent, most preferably using sodium tetrahydroborate.
The sodium tetrahydroborate reduction can preferably be accomplished in alcohols, most preferably in methanol in the presence of only a little water, at a temperature of 0.degree.-40.degree. C. A very advantageous embodiment of process (c) is carries out the condensation and the reduction in one step, without isolating the intermediate Schiff-bases of formula VI. In this case primary amines of the formula (IV) and carbonyl compounds of formula (V) are reacted in a solvent and/or diluent--preferably in ethanol--with or without heating, then the mixture is subjected to reduction. Most preferably the reductive condensation is carried out by catalytic hydrogenation in ethanol in the presence of a palladium/carbon catalyst.
According to another possible embodiment amines of formula (IV) and carbonyl compounds of formula (V) are shaken or stirred in a hydrogen atmosphere together with the catalyst and the solvent, hence the reductive condensation is performed in one technological step.
(d) a compound of formula (VII) ##STR13## wherein R.sub.1, R.sub.3, R.sub.4, R.sub.5, R.sub.6, R.sub.7 and n are as defined above, R.sub.11 is a hydrogenolyzable group, preferably a benzyl group, is subjected to hydrogenolysis. Compounds of formula (VII) constitute a special subgroup of compounds of formula (I). The hydrogenolysis can preferably be accomplished by catalytic hydrogenation, for example with platinum or palladium/carbon catalyst, or in a diluent, most preferably in ethanol. Following the above process a special subgroup of compounds of formula (I) can be obtained, wherein R.sub.2 means hydrogen.
(e) a phenol derivative of formula (VIII) ##STR14## wherein R.sub.3, R.sub.4, R.sub.5, R.sub.6 and R.sub.7 are as defined above, is reacted either with an amine of formula (IX) ##STR15## wherein R.sub.1, R.sub.2 and n are as defined above, or with an amine of the formula (X) ##STR16## wherein X is halogen, preferably chloro or bromo, R.sub.1, R.sub.2 and n are as defined above. The reaction is preferably carried out in an organic solvent or diluent. In the case where phenol derivatives of formula (VIII) are reacted with halogen derivatives of formula (X), the reaction is preferably carried out in the presence of an acid acceptor. As an acid acceptor, preferably an inorganic or an organic base can be used, most preferably an alkali hydroxide, an alkali alkoxide or an alkali carbonate. Most preferably at first the alkali salts of phenols of formula (VIII) can be formed and these salts can be used as starting materials, in which case no acid acceptor is necessary. In case the halogen compounds of formula (X) are used as starting materials, reaction takes place via epoxides of formula (IX).
(f) a compound of formula (III), wherein R.sub.3, R.sub.4, R.sub.5, R.sub.6 and R.sub.7 are as defined above, Z is a group of formula --CHOH--CH.sub.2 --Cl, is reacted with metal cyanides, preferably with potassium cyanide or sodium cyanide in a solvent medium, preferably in a water-alcohol solvent medium, then the so formed nitrile of formula (XI) ##STR17## wherein the R substituents have the meanings defined above, is subjected to reduction; compounds of formula (IV), constituting a special subgroup of compounds of formula (I) wherein n is 2 and the R substituents are as defined above, are obtained. As reducing agents chemical reducing agents, preferably lithium tetrahydroaluminate in etheral solution, or catalytically activated hydrogen can be used. This latter is preferably applied in an ethanol- or methanol-containing medium saturated with ammonia, in the presence of a Raney-Ni catalyst and maintaining 10-15.times.10.sup.3 Pa hydrogen overpressure. A group of compounds of formula (III), which compounds serve as starting materials for the preparation of compounds of formula (I), can be prepared as follows. Phenols of formula (VIII) are reacted with 1-chloro-2,3-epoxypropane under heating, preferably in the presence of a little pyridine; 3-chloro-3-hydroxypropyl derivatives of formula (III) are obtained (in formula (III) Z is a --CHOH--CH.sub.2 Cl group). In case these products are treated with a reagent capable of driving off hydrochloric acid, preferably with an inorganic basic reagent, most preferably with sodium carbonate, or with the excess of 1-chloro-2,3-epoxypropane, the corresponding 2,3-epoxypropyl derivatives are obtained (Z in formula (III) is ##STR18## Another group of the compounds of formula (III) can be prepared by reacting compounds of formula (VIII) with 1,4-dichloro-2-butanol, preferably in a strongly alkaline medium, at a temperature of 60.degree.-65.degree. C. in the presence of catalytic amount of a quaternary ammonium salt. As alkaline medium most preferably an aqueous potassium hydroxide solution can be used, as a quaternary salt most preferably tetrabutyl ammoniumbisulfate can be applied. Presence of an inert atmosphere favors the reaction; the corresponding 4-chloro-2-hydroxybutyl derivatives (Z in formula (III) is --CH--OH--CH.sub.2 --CH.sub.2 --Cl group) form with a good yield. This latter group of compounds of formula (III) can be prepared also by reacting phenols of formula (VIII) with 1-chloro-3,4-epoxybutane under heating, preferably in the presence of a little pyridine; 4-chloro-2-hydroxybutyl derivatives of formula (III) are obtained (Z in formula (III) is --CHOH--CH.sub.2 --CH.sub.2 Cl group).
The novel compounds of formula (I) can be used most preferably formulated into pharmaceutical preparations. These preparations contain the effective amount of the active ingredient, if desired together with inorganic or organic, solid or liquid pharmaceutically acceptable carriers. The pharmaceutical preparations can be administered in an enteral or parenteral way. Advantageous formulation forms are tablets or capsules, which contain the active ingredient and a diluent, for example lactose, dextrose, sacharose, mannitol, sorbitol, cellulose or derivatives of the listed compounds or glycine, and/or a lubricant, for example diatomaceous earth, talc, stearic acid or salts thereof or polyethyleneglycol, and/or a bonding agent, for example silicates, starch or derivatives thereof, gelatine, methyl cellulose, and/or fillers, foam-forming mixtures, coloring ingredients, flavoring ingredients. The pharmacologically active novel compounds can also be used in form of parenterally administrable preparations or infusion solutions. These pharmaceutical preparations, which may contain further pharmacologically effective components if desired, can be manufactured by methods known per se, for example by the usual mixing, granulating, tabletting, dissolving or lyophilizing techniques. The preparations contain at about 0.2-100%, particularly at about 1-50% active ingredient. Dosing depends upon various factors, for example the way of administration, age and/or the condition of the person to be treated. Daily oral dose is at about 0.1-0.2 g for a person weighing 70 kilograms.
