9,11-Methano-13-aza-11a-carbathrombanoic acid analogues

This invention relates to new 9,11-methano-13-aza-11a-carbathrombanoic acid analogues having inhibitory activity on platelet aggregation and inhibitory activity on aorta contraction.
In 1975, Hamberg et al discovered an unstable intermediate in the conversion of prostaglandin G.sub.2 into the hemiacetal derivative in platelets [Proc. Nat. Acad. Sci. USA, vol 72, No. 8, page 2994-2998 (1975)]. The intermediate has been named as thromboxane A.sub.2 and its structure has been proposed as follows: ##STR4## Thromboxane A.sub.2 has been found to show various biological acitivities such as platelet aggregation, aorta contraction and thrombi formation and, therefore is considered to be one of the causes by which diseases such as inflammation, thrombus and cardiac infarction are induced.
Recently we have proposed new compounds of the following formula: ##STR5## (wherein X is ethylene or cis-vinylene, Y is ethylene, vinylene or ethynylene, R.sup.1 is a hydrogen atom or an alkyl group of 1 to 12 carbon atoms, R.sup.2 is a hydrogen atom or a hydroxy group, m is an integer of 1 to 6 and n is an integer of 1 to 8), antagonizing the action of thromboxane A.sub.2 [cf. Japanese Patent Kokai No. 143930/80 (Derwent No. 01020D)].
Furthermore, two compounds of the following formulae: ##STR6## have reported as antagonists of thromboxane A.sub.2 [cf. Proc. Nat. Acad. Sci. USA, vol. 76, No. 6, page 2566-2570 (1979) and ibid, vol. 76, No. 8, page 4097-4101 (1979), respectively], after our proposal.
However the compounds of formulae II, III and IV are unsatisfactory as practically effective medicines since they have no or very weak inhibitory activities on platelet aggregation and on aorta contraction.
As a result of extensive research and experimentation to discover novel compounds having potent antagonistic activity on thromboxane A.sub.2, it has now been found that by replacing groups represented by the symbol Y, by an iminomethylene group (i.e. --NHCH.sub.2 --) and by introducing or not two methyl groups at the 7-position of the norpinane skeleton in compounds of the general formula II, the activity of new compounds is enhanced.
Accordingly, the present invention provides new 9,11-methano-13-aza-11a-carbathrombanoic acid analogues of the general formula: ##STR7## [wherein A represents ##STR8## (in which m is an integer of 1 to 6, the double bond between the carbon atoms in positions 5 and 6 in (iv) is in cis or trans-configuration (i.e. E or Z configuration) or a mixture thereof (i.e. EZ) and the phenylene group in (iv) represents o-, m- or p-phenylene), R.sup.1 represents a hydrogen atom or a straight-or branched-chain alkyl group of 1 to 12 carbon atoms, two R.sup.2 both represent hydrogen atoms or methyl groups, R.sup.3 represents a hydrogen atom or a hydroxy group, R.sup.4 represents a single bond or a straight- or branched-chain alkylene group of 1 to 5 carbon atoms, R.sup.5 represents

(ii) a cycloalkyl or cycloalkyloxy group of 4 to 7 carbon atoms being unsubstituted or substituted by at least one straight- or branched-chain alkyl group of 1 to 8 carbon atoms or
(iii) ##STR9## (in which Z represents a single bond, an oxygen atom or a sulfur atom and R.sup.6 may occupy any of the free positions on the phenyl ring and represents a hydrogen atom, a halogen atom, a hydroxy group, a straight- or branched-chain alkyl or alkoxy group of 1 to 5 carbon atoms, a trihalomethyl group, an amino group or a mono- or dialkyl-amino group of 1 to 5 carbon atoms) and the wavy line attached to the carbon atom in position 15 represents .alpha.- or .beta.-configuration (i.e. S- or R-configuration) or a mixture thereof (i.e. RS), provided that, when R.sup.3 represents a hydroxy group and R.sup.4 represents a single bond, R.sup.5 does not represent an alkoxy group, an alkylthio group, a cycloalkyloxy group, a phenoxy group and a phenylthio group], and cyclodextrin clathrates thereof, and when R.sup.1 represents a hydrogen atom, non-toxic salts thereof.
Throughout the specification including claims, the 11a-carbathrombanoic acid has a skeleton structure as shown in the following formula, and a compound having one double bond is designated as a 11a-carbathromb-enoic acid [cf. Prostaglandins, 16(6), 857 (1978)]. ##STR10##
In the structural formulae of the specification, the dotted line, the thick line , and the wavy line indicate that the respective group attached thereto is in the backside of the plane, i.e. in .alpha.-configuration, in the front side of the plane, i.e. in .beta.-configuration, and in .alpha.- or .beta.-configuration or a mixture thereof, respectively, according to the rules of the generally accepted nomenclature.

Soc., 73, 2390 (1951), for example, by reacting with ethyl chloroformate in an inert organic solvent such as toluene in the presence of a base at a temperature from 0.degree. C. to a refluxing temperature of the solvent. Steps [p], [q], [r] and [s] can be conducted by methods hereinbefore described for steps [j], [k], [l] and [m] in Scheme A, respectively.
Carboxylic acids of the general formula V wherein R.sup.1 represents a hydrogen atom and the other symbols are as hereinbefore defined can be obtained by saposifying the corresponding esters of the general formula V wherein R.sup.1 represents a group other than hydrogen atom and the other symbols are as hereinbefore defined by methods known per se. For example, methods for saponification are disclosed in Compendium of Organic Synthetic Methods, vol. 1 (1971), vol 2 (1974) and vol. 3 (1977), Section 23 published by John Wiley & Sons, Inc., U.S.A. Saponification is suitable conducted in the presence or absence of a water-miscible solvent, such as ethers, e.g. dioxane or tetrahydrofuran, or alkanols of 1 to 4 carbon atoms, e.g. methanol or ethanol, at a temperature from -10.degree. C. to 100.degree. C., preferably at room temperature, using an aqueous solution of a hydroxide or a carbonate of an alkali metal, e.g. sodium, potassium or lithium, or an alkaline earth metal, e.g. calcium or barium, or conducted in an anhydrous alkanol of 1 to 4 carbon atoms, e.g. absolute methanol or absolute ethanol, at a temperature from -10.degree. C. to 100.degree. C., preferably at room temperature, using a hydroxide or carbonate of an alkali metal, e.g. sodium, potassium or lithimm.
Esters of the general formula V wherein R.sup.1 represents a group other than a hydrogen atom and the other symbols are as hereinbefore defined can be obtained by esterifying the corresponding carboxylic acids of the general formula V wherein R.sup.1 represents a hydrogen atom and the other symbols are as hereinbefore defined by methods known per se. For example, the esterification is conducted using
(1) a process of using a diazoalkane, or
(2) a process of using N,N-dimethylformamide-dialkylacetal [cf. Helv. Chim. Acta, 48, 1746 (1965)].
The esterification using a diazoalkane is conducted using the corresponding acid and an appropriate diazoalkane in an inert organic solvent, such as diethyl ether, ethyl acetate, methylene chloride, acetone, methanol or a mixed solvent of two or more of them, at a temperature, of from room temperature to -10.degree. C., preferably 0.degree. C.
The esterification using N,N-dimethylformamide-dialkylacetal is conducted using the corresponding acid and an appropriate N,N-dimethylformamide-dialkylacetal, such as N,N-dimethylformamide-dimethylacetal, in anhydrous benzene at a temperature of from room temperature to 0.degree. C.
Cyclodextrin clathrates of the 11a-carbathrombanoic acid analogues of the general formula V can be obtained by using .alpha.-, .beta.- or .gamma.-cyclodextrin or a mixture thereof employing a method as described in our British Pat. Nos. 1,351,238 and 1,419,221. By convering into a cyclodextrin clathrate, the stability of the 11a-carbathrombanoic acid analogues of the general formula V can be increased.
Acids of the general formula V wherein R.sup.1 represents a hydrogen atom are converted into salts by methods known per se. The salts are preferable non-toxic salts. The non-toxic salts herein referred mean salts of cations such that it is relatively innoxious to animal tissue and that the effective pharmacological properties of the compounds of the general formula V are not impaired by side effects resulting from the cations when used in an amount required for the treatment. It is preferable that the salts are water-soluble. Suitable salts include, for example, a salt of an alkali metal such as sodium or potassium, a salt of an alkaline earth metal such as calcium or magnesium, an ammonium salt and a pharmaceutically acceptable (non-toxic) amine salt. Amines suitable for forming such a salt with a carboxylic acid are well known, and include, for example, those amines which are theoretically obtained by substituting one or more hydrogen atoms of ammonia by other groups. These groups, which may be the same or different with each other when one or more hydrogen atoms are substituted, are selected from, for example, alkyl groups of 1 to 6 carbon atoms and hydroxyalkyl groups of 2 or 3 carbon atoms. Suitable non-toxic amine salts include salts of a tetraalkylammonium, such as tetramethylammonium and salts of an organic amine, such as methylamine, dimethylamine, cyclopentylamine, benzylamine, phenethylamine, piperidine, monoethanolamine, diethanolamine, lysine, and alginine.
Salts can be obtained from the acids of the general formula V by methods known per se, for example, by reacting the acid of the general formula V and a suitable base, such as a hydroxide or carbonate of an alkali metal or alkaline earth metal, ammonium hydroxide, ammonia or an organic amine in theoretical amounts in an appropriate solvent. The salts can be isolated by lyophilisation of the solution, or by filtration if the salts are sufficiently insoluble in the reaction solvent, or, if necessary by removing part of the solvent followed by filtration.
The compounds of the present invention of the general formula V have an antagonistic activity on thromboxane A.sub.2, i.e. inhibitory activity on platelet aggregation and inhibitory activity on aorta contraction, and are, therefore, useful for prevention and treatment of inflammation, hypertension, thrombus, cerebral apoplexy, asthma, cardiac infarction, angina pectoris, cerebral infarction and death by acute cardiac disorders in mammals including human, in particularly human, which are considered to be induced by thromboxane A.sub.2.

These compositions may also include adjuvants such as preserving, wetting, emulsifying and dispersing agents. They may be sterilised, for example by filtration through a bacteria-retaining filter, by incorporation of sterilising agents in the compositions or by irradiation. They may also be manufactured in the form of sterile solid compositions, which can be dissolved in sterile water or some other sterile injectable medium immediately before use.
The percentage of active ingredient in the compositions of the invention may be varried, it being necessary that it should constitute a proportion such that a suitable dosage for the therapeutic effect desired shall be obtained. Obviously several unit dosage forms may be administered at about the same time. In general, the preparations should normally contain at least 0.025% by weight of active substance when required for administration by injection; for oral administration the preparations will normally contain at least 0.1% by weight of active substance.
The dosage employed depends upon the desired therapeutic effect, the poute of administration, the duration of the treatment, and the age and body weight of the patient.
In the adult, each dose per person is generally between 0.1 mg and 1 g by oral, intrarectal, intravenous, intramuscular or subcutaneous administration in the prevention and treatment of inflammation, hypertension, thrombus, cerebral apoplexy, asthma, cardiac infarction, angina pectoris, cerebral infarction and death by acute cardiac disorders. The dosage will normally be administered once or several times per day.
