DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION
This invention in its broadest aspects relates to the amino and substituted amino phosphinylalkanoyl compounds of formula I above, to compositions containing such compounds and to the method of using such compounds as anti-hypertensive agents, and to intermediates useful in preparing such compounds.
The term lower alkyl used in defining various symbols refers to straight or branched chain hydrocarbon radicals having up to ten carbons, for example, methyl, ethyl, propyl, isopropyl, butyl, isobutyl, t-butyl, pentyl, isopentyl, etc. The preferred lower alkyl groups are up to four carbons with methyl and ethyl most preferred. Similarly the terms lower alkoxy and lower alkylthio refer to such lower alkyl groups attached to an oxygen or sulfur.
The term cycloalkyl refers to saturated rings of 3 to 7 carbon atoms with cyclopentyl and cyclohexyl being most preferred.
The term lower alkenyl refers to straight or branched chain hydrocarbon radicals of 2 to 7 carbons, preferably 2 to 5 carbons, having at least one double bond, for example ethenyl, propenyl, 2-butenyl, etc.
The term halogen refers to chloro, bromo and fluoro.
The term halo substituted lower alkyl refers to such lower alkyl groups described above in which one or more hydrogens have been replaced by chloro, bromo or fluoro groups such as trifluoromethyl, which is preferred, pentafluoroethyl, 2,2,2-trichloroethyl, chloromethyl, bromomethyl, etc. Similarly, the term amino substituted lower alkyl refers to such lower alkyl groups described above in which one or more hydrogens have been replaced by an amino group such as aminomethyl, 1-aminoethyl, 2-aminoethyl, etc.
The symbols ##STR16## represent that the alkylene bridge is attached to an available carbon atom.
The compounds of formula I are prepared according to the following procedures. An acid or its activated form of formula II wherein R.sub.1 is other than hydrogen and R.sub.3 is hydrogen, lower alkyl, benzyl, or benzhydryl ##STR17## is coupled with an imino acid or ester of the formula
HX (III)
The term activated form refers to the conversion of the acid to a mixed anhydride, symmetrical anhydride, acid chloride, or activated ester, see Methoden der Organischen Chemie (houben-Weyl), Vol. XV, part II, page 1 et seq. (1974) for a review of the methods of acylation. Preferably, the reaction is performed in the presence of a coupling agent such as 1,1-carbonyldiimidazole, or dicyclohexylcarbodiimide.
The compounds of formula I wherein R.sub.1 is hydrogen are prepared by coupling an acid of formula II wherein R.sub.1 is ##STR18## with the appropriate imino acid ester of formula III. Deprotection of the resulting product, for example, by treating with hydrogen gas in the presence of a palladium on carbon catalyst when R.sub.20 is benzyl yields the product wherein R.sub.1 is hydrogen.
Similarly, the products of formula I wherein either or both of R.sub.3 and R.sub.6 are lower alkyl, benzyl, or benzhydryl can be hydrogenated as described above or chemically treated such as with trifluoroacetic acid and anisole to yield the products of formula I wherein R.sub.3 and R.sub.6 are hydrogen.
The ester products of formula I wherein R.sub.6 is ##STR19## may be obtained by employing the imino acid of formula III in the coupling reaction with the ester group already in place. Such ester starting materials can be prepared by treating the imino acid with an acid chloride such as ##STR20## so as to protect the N-atom. The protected imino acid is then reacted in the presence of base with a compound of the formula ##STR21## wherein L is a leaving group such as chlorine, bromine, tolylsulfonyl, etc., followed by removal of the N-protecting group such as by treatment with acid or hydrogenation.
The ester products of formula I wherein R.sub.6 is ##STR22## can also be obtained by treating the product of formula I wherein R.sub.6 is hydrogen with a molar equivalent of the compound of formula IV. The diester products wherein R.sub.3 and R.sub.6 are the same and are ##STR23## can be obtained by treating the product of formula I wherein R.sub.3 and R.sub.6 are both hydrogen with two or more equivalents of the compound of formula IV.
The ester products of formula I wherein R.sub.3 is ##STR24## can be obtained by treating the product of formula I wherein R.sub.3 is hydrogen and R.sub.6 is t-butyl, benzyl or benzhydryl with the compound of formula IV in the presence of base. Removal of the R.sub.6 ester group such as by hydrogenation yields the products of formula I wherein R.sub.3 is ##STR25## and R.sub.6 is hydrogen.
The products of formula I wherein R.sub.1 is hydrogen can be employed as intermediates to yield the products of formula I wherein R.sub.1 is ##STR26## In this procedure the compound of formula I is coupled with an acid or its activated form of the formula ##STR27## preferably in the presence of a coupling agent.
The products of formula I wherein R.sub.7 is amino may be obtained by reducing the corresponding products of formula I wherein R.sub.7 is azido.
The products of formula I wherein R.sub.7 is the substituted amino group, ##STR28## may be obtained by treating the corresponding 4-keto product of formula I with the amine, ##STR29## in the presence of hydrogen and catalyst or in the presence of sodium cyanotrihydridoborate. Also, the substituted amino products of formula I wherein R.sub.22 is other than hydrogen may be obtained by treating the corresponding 4-amino product of formula I with the ketone, ##STR30## in the presence of hydrogen and catalyst or in the presence of sodium cyanotrihydridoborate.
The carboxylic acids of formula II wherein R.sub.1 is other than hydrogen can be prepared by various procedures. For example, the substituted amine of the formula
R.sub.1 NH.sub.2 (VI)
can be treated with the aldehyde of the formula
R.sub.2 --CHO (VII)
and the dichlorophosphine ##STR31## to yield the intermediate ##STR32## The intermediate of formula IX can be saponified such as by treatment with sodium hydroxide to yield the desired acid of formula II wherein R.sub.3 is hydrogen or esterified such as by treatment with PCl.sub.5 or an alkyl chloroformate followed by the appropriate alcohol, treatment with a reagent such as diazomethane, 1-benzyl-3-p-tolyltriazine, etc., followed by saponification to yield the acid of formula II wherein R.sub.3 is lower alkyl, benzyl, or benzhydryl.
The carboxylic acids of formula II wherein n is zero can also be prepared by reacting the substituted amine of formula VI and the aldehyde of formula VII with the dichlorophosphine of the formula
R.sub.5 --CH.sub.2 PCl.sub.2 (X)
to yield the intermediate of the formula ##STR33## The intermediate of formula XI is converted to the corresponding ester, i.e., R.sub.3 is lower alkyl, benzyl, or phenethyl, as described above and then treated with lithium diisopropylamide and carbon dioxide to yield the acid of formula II wherein R.sub.3 is lower alkyl, benzyl, or phenethyl.
The various imino acids and esters of formula III are described in the literature and in the various patents and pending U.S. application referred to above. Various substituted prolines are disclosed by Mauger et al., Chem. Review, Vo. 66, p 47-86 (1966). When the imino acid is known it can be readily converted to the ester by conventional means. For example, the esters where R.sub.6 is t-butyl can be obtained by treating the corresponding N-carbobenzyloxyimino acid with isobutylene under acidic conditions and then removing the N-carbobenzyloxy protecting group by catalytic hydrogenation and the esters wherein R.sub.6 is benzyl can be obtained by treating the imino acid with benzyl alcohol and thionyl chloride.
As disclosed by Krapcho in U.S. Ser. No. 164,985, now U.S. Pat. No. 4,316,905, the substituted prolines wherein R.sub.7 is ##STR34## are prepared by reacting a 4-keto proline of the formula ##STR35## with a solution of the Grignard or lithium reagent
R.sub.7 -Mg-halo or R.sub.7 -Li (XIII)
wherein R.sub.7 is as defined above and halo is Br or Cl to yield ##STR36## This compound is treated with a dehydrating agent such as p-toluenesulfonic acid, sulfuric acid, potassium bisulfate, or trifluoroacetic acid to yield the 3,4-dehydro-4-substituted proline of the formula ##STR37## Removal of the N-benzyloxycarbonyl protecting group and hydrogenation of the compound of formula XV yields the desired starting materials. The substituted proline wherein R.sub.7 is cyclohexyl can be prepared by further hydrogenation of the 4-phenyl proline compound.

The compounds of this invention wherein at least one of R.sub.3 or R.sub.6 is hydrogen, form basic salts with various inorganic and organic bases which are also within the scope of the invention. Such salts include ammonium salts, alkali metal salts like lithium, sodium and potassium salts (which are preferred), alkaline earth metal salts like the calcium and magnesium salts, salts with organic bases, e.g., dicyclohexylamine salt, benzathine, N-methyl-D-glucamine, hydrabamine salts, salts with amino acids like arginine, lysine and the like. The nontoxic, physiologically acceptable salts are preferred, although other salts are also useful, e.g., in isolating or purifying the product. The salts are formed using conventional techniques.
As shown above, the imino acid or ester portion of the molecule of the products of formula I is in the L-configuration. Depending upon the definitions of R.sub.2 and R.sub.5 one or two asymmetric centers may be present in the phosphinylalkanoyl sidechain. Thus, some of the compounds can accordingly exist in diastereoisomeric forms or in mixtures thereof. The above described processes can utilize racemates, enantiomers or diastereomers as starting materials. When diastereomeric products are prepared, they can be separated by conventional chromatographic or fractional crystallization methods.
The products of formula I wherein the imino acid ring is monosubstituted give rise to cis-trans isomerism. The configuration of the final product will depend upon the configuration of the R.sub.7, R.sub.8 and R.sub.9 substituent in the starting material of formula III.
The compounds of formula I, and the physiologically acceptable salts thereof, are hypotensive agents. They inhibit the conversion of the decapeptide angiotensin I to angiotensin II and, therefore, are useful in reducing or relieving angiotensin related hypertension. The action of the enzyme renin on angiotensinogen, a pseudoglobulin in blood plasma, produces angiotensin I. Angiotensin I is converted by angiotensin converting enzyme (ACE) to angiotensin II. The latter is an active pressor substance which has been implicated as the causative agent in several forms of hypertension in various mammalian species, e.g., humans. The compounds of this invention intervene in the angiotensinogen.fwdarw.(renin).fwdarw. angiotensin I.fwdarw. angiotensin II sequence by inhibiting angiotensin converting enzyme and reducing or eliminating the formation of the pressor substance angiotensin II. Thus by the administration of a composition containing one (or a combination) of the compounds of this invention, angiotensin dependent hypertension in a species of mammal (e.g., humans) suffering therefrom is alleviated. A single dose, or preferably two to four divided daily doses, provided on a basis of about 0.1 to 100 mg. per kilogram of body weight per day, preferably about 1 to 15 mg. per kilogram of body weight per day is appropriate to reduce blood pressure. The substance is preferably administered orally, but parenteral routes such as the subcutaneous, intramuscular, intravenous or intraperitoneal routes can also be employed.
The compounds of this invention can also be formulated in combination with a diuretic for the treatment of hypertension. A combination product comprising a compound of this invention and a diuretic can be administered in an effective amount which comprises a total daily dosage of about 30 to 600 mg., preferably about 30 to 330 mg. of a compound of this invention, and about 15 to 300 mg., preferably about 15 to 200 mg. of the diuretic, to a mammalian species in need thereof. Exemplary of the diuretics contemplated for use in combination with a compound of this invention are the thiazide diuretics, e.g., chlorothiazide, hydrochlorothiazide, flumethiazide, hydroflumethiazide, bendroflumethiazide, methyclothiazide, trichlormethiazide, polythiazide or benzthiazide as well as ethacrynic acid, ticrynafen, chlorthalidone, furosemide, musolimine, bumetanide, triamterene, amiloride and spironolactone and salts of such compounds.
The compounds of formula I can be formulated for use in the reduction of blood pressure in compositions such as tablets, capsules or elixirs for oral administration, or in sterile solutions or suspensions for parenteral administration. About 10 to 500 mg. of a compound of formula I is compounded with physiologically acceptable vehicle, carrier, excipient, binder, preservative, stabilizer, flavor, etc., in a unit dosage form as called for by accepted pharmaceutical practice. The amount of active substance in these compositions or preparations is such that a suitable dosage in the range indicated is obtained.

The following examples are illustrative of the invention. Temperatures are given in degrees centigrade.

Some ice is added to the mixture to bring the volume to 1 liter and it is then extracted three times with 250 ml. portions of ether. The ether phases are discarded and the aqueous phase is cooled and acidified with 50 ml. of 6 N hydrochloric acid.
