In both instances, it is preferred to administer the compounds orally, however, the compounds may also be administered via intravenous administration. The compounds can be administered in single doses, however, it is preferred that they can be administered in divided doses, i.e., 3-4 times daily.
In addition to their cardiovascular activity, a number of amides exhibit anti-inflammatory activity at dosages of 0.04 to 100 mg./kg. of body weight, with a number of the compounds having an ED.sub.25 in the rat paw edema test of under 1 mg./kg.
The compounds of this invention can be prepared by converting adenosine-5'-carboxylic acid (prepared from 2',3'-isopropylidene adenosine according to the method described by Harmon et al, Chem. Ind. 1969, 1141 to the corresponding acid chloride by reacting it with thionyl chloride and then reacting the acid chloride with ammonia or an appropriately substituted alkyl amine such as methylamine, dimethylamine and the like. It will be obvious to those skilled in the art that other well-known procedures can also be employed to prepare the compounds of this invention.
The 2',3'-hydroxyl groups of the starting acid can be temporarily blocked by using the protective groups which are conventional in sugar chemistry. The protecting groups can be acyl groups, preferably acetyl or benzoyl groups, or ketals, such as the 2',3'-isopropylidene or benzylidene, which can be converted back to the 2',3'-dihydroxy compounds by methods well-known in the art, preferably after the conversion of the acid chloride to the amide. The 2',3'-isopropylidene adenosine starting material is commercially available from Pfanstiehl Corporation, North Chicago, Illinois and the preparation thereof is well known. A number of the intermediates also exhibit cardiovascular activity.
The preferred synthetic route is represented by the following reaction scheme: ##STR3##





The following examples further illustrate the present invention:
EXAMPLE 1
2',3'-Isopropylidene Adenosine-5'-Carboxylic Acid Chloride
2',3'-Isopropylidene adenosine-5'-carboxylic acid (12.8 g.) [prepared according to the method of R. E. Harmon, et al, Chem. Ind. London, No. 33, 1141 (1969)] was added to an excess of thionyl chloride (70 ml.) at 0.degree. C. The mixture was stirred for 1 hour at 0.degree. C. and then the temperature was allowed to go up to room temperature for another hour. The clear solution was poured, in a thin stream, onto a large volume of well stirred dry ether. The yellow precipitate of 2',3'-isopropylidene adenosine-5'-carboxylic acid chloride, m.p. 190.degree.-195.degree. dec. was filtered and washed with an excess of dry ether. This material was used directly for the preparation of the amides without any further purification.
EXAMPLE 2
Adenosine-5'-Carboxamide
A mixture of 6.8 g. of 2',3'-isopropylidene adenosine-5'-carboxylic acid chloride and 50 ml. of liquid anhydrous ammonia was stirred for two (2) hours at -60.degree. to -50.degree. C. At the end of this time the ammonia was allowed to evaporate off at room temperature. The residue was triturated with cold aqueous sodium bicarbonate solution (1N). The resulting insoluble solid was filtered, washed with cold water and recrystallized from ethanol to yield 3.5 g. (55%) of crude 2',3'-isopropylidene adenosine-5'-carboxamide, m.p. 220.degree.-222.degree.. The amide was then mixed with 100 ml. of 1 N hydrochloric acid and maintained at a temperature of between 60.degree.-70.degree. for 45 minutes. The acidic solution was then cooled, neutralized with sodium bicarbonate and the mixture evaporated to dryness under reduced pressure. The residue was recrystallized three times from absolute ethanol to yield one gram of pure adenosine-5'-carboxamide, m.p. 245.degree.-246.degree.; [.alpha.].sub.D.sup.27.sup..degree. -29.degree. .+-. 0.9.degree. (c, 1.08 in 1N HCl). Elemental analysis and nuclear magnetic resonance data confirmed the identity of the compound.
EXAMPLE 3
Adenosine-5'-(N-methyl)Carboxamide
2',3'-Isopropylidene adenosine-5'-[N-methylcarboxamide] (m.p. 264.degree.-265.degree. ) was prepared according to the method of Example 2 from 2',3'-isopropylidene adenosine-5'-carboxylic acid chloride and an excess of dry liquid methylamine at -20.degree. to -10.degree. C. The 2',3'-isopropylidene group was cleaved by the use of 1N HCl at 60.degree. for 45 minutes to give adenosine-5'-(N-methyl)carboxamide in 44% yield; m.p. 240-241.degree.; [.alpha.].sub.D.sup.27.sup..degree. -23.degree. .+-. 0.6.degree. (c, 3.2 in 1N HCl). Elemental analysis and nuclear magnetic resonance data confirmed the identity of the compound.
EXAMPLE 4
Adenosine-5'-(N,N-dimethyl)carboxamide
13.5 g. of 2',3'-isopropylidene adenosine-5'-carboxylic acid chloride was stirred with excess dry dimethylamine at -10.degree. to 0.degree. C. The clear solution was allowed to warm to room temperature. In about 3 hours the unreacted dimethylamine had evaporated off. The residue was washed with ether and dissolved in the minimum amount of cold aqueous NaHCO.sub.3 solution (1N). The basic aqueous solution so obtained was extracted five times with 50 ml. of chloroform. The chloroform extract was dried and evaporated under reduced pressure to give an amorphous solid. This solid was dissolved in dilute acetic acid, filtered (to remove a small amount of insoluble material) and the filtrate was extracted four times with 50 ml. of chloroform. The chloroform extract was dried and evaporated to dryness under reduced pressure to yield 6.0 g. (43%) of 2',3'-isopropylidene adenosine-5'-(N,N-dimethyl)carboxamide. The crude amide (m.p. 106.degree.-110.degree.) was dissolved in 100 ml. of 1N HCL and kept at 60.degree.-70.degree. for 45 minutes. The solution was then cooled, basified with NaHCO.sub.3 and evaporated to dryness under reduced pressure.
The residue, upon recrystallization three times from absolute ethanol, gave 3.0 g. (23%) of adenosine-5'-(N,N-dimethyl)carboxamide as a monohydrate; m.p. 190.degree.-191.degree.; [.alpha.].sub.D.sup.27.sup..degree. - 17.degree. .+-. 0.3.degree. (c, 3 in 1N HCl). Elemental analysis and nuclear magnetic resonance data confirmed the identity of the compound.
EXAMPLE 5
Adenosine-5'-[(N-ethyl)-Carboxamide]
Freshly prepared 2',3'-isopropylidene adenosine-5'-carboxylic acid chloride (prepared from 6.4 g. of 2',3'-isopropylidene-5'-carboxylic acid) was stirred with excess of dry liquid ethyl amine at -50.degree. to -35.degree.. The clear red-orange solution was allowed to warm up to room temperature and kept at this temperature for 15 hours. At the end of this period the excess of ethyl amine had evaporated off. The residue was triturated with cold aqueous NaHCO.sub.3 solution. The white precipitate was filtered off and washed with a small amount of cold water to yield 3.1 g. (44.5%) of crude 2',3'-isopropylidene-5'-[(N-ethyl)-carboxamide] m.p. 225.degree.-227.degree.. R.sub.f : 0.72 (silica gel) system: n.BuOH:H.sub.2 O:NH.sub.4 OH (86:14:5). The above amide was mixed with 80 ml. of 1 N HCl and kept at 65.degree. for 45 minutes. The acidic solution was then cooled and basified with NaHCO.sub.3. The mixture was then evaporated to dryness under reduced pressure, and the residue recrystallized twice from absolute ethanol and finally from water. The white crystalline product was dried in vacuo for 2 days over P.sub.2 O.sub.5 at 70.degree.-78.degree. to give 0.9 g. (32%) of adenosine-5'-[(N-ethyl)carboxamide] which melted slowly at 136.degree.-172.degree. and solidified again at 148.degree.-150.degree. and finally melted at 246.degree.-247.degree. (sharp).
