Antihypertensive 2-oxo-imidazolidine derivatives

This invention relates to a novel 2-oxo-imidazolidine derivative and a process for preparing same. More particularly, it relates to a compound of the formula: ##STR2## wherein R.sup.1 is lower alkyl or phenyl-lower alkyl, R.sup.2 is lower alkyl, R.sup.3 is alkyl of one to 12 carbon atoms or phenyl-lower alkyl and R.sup.4 is hydrogen or lower alkyl, or a pharmaceutically acceptable salt thereof.
It is known that the enzyme renin splits a leucyl-leucine bond of angiotensinogen to produce angiotensin I. Angiotensin I is converted by angiotensin-converting enzyme (ACE) to angiotensin II which is an active pressor substance and causative of various forms of hypertension in mammalian species. It is also known that ACE decomposes and inactivates bradykinin, thereby serving to increase blood pressure. Thus, intensive studies have been made in recent years to investigate ACE-inhibitors because such inhibitors may be used for the treatment of patient with high blood pressure.
As a result of various investigations, we have now found that the novel 2-oxo-imidazolidine derivative (I) of the present invention shows potent inhibitory activity against ACE and is useful to reduce or relieve angiotensin-related hypertension. For example, when the ACE-inhibitory activity was estimated in vivo by the use of rats which were administered angiotensin I intravenously, (4S)-1-methyl-3-[(2S)-2-[N-((1S)-1-ethoxycarbonyl-3-phenylpropyl)amino]propionyl}-2-oxo-imidazolidine-4-carboxylic acid at a dose of 1.0 mg/kg showed about 60% inhibition of ACE-activity. Moreover, when a test compound was administered orally to spontaneously hypertensive rats, (4S)-1-methyl-3-{(2S)-2-[N-((1S)-1-ethoxycarbonyl-3-phenylpropyl)amino]propionyl}-2-oxo-imidazolidine-4-carboxylic acid at a dose of 3 mg/kg showed a decrease of about 45 mmHg in blood pressure and said hypotensive activity of the test compound lasted for more than 6 hours. Further, the toxicity of the compound (I) of the invention is remarkably low. For example, when (4S)-1-benzyl-3-{(2 S)-2-[N-((1S)-1-carboxy-3-phenylpropyl)amino]propionyl}-2-oxo-imidazolidine-4-carboxylic acid and (4S)-1-methyl-3-{(2S)-2-[N-((1S)-1-carboxy-n-nonyl)amino]propionyl}-2-oxo-imidazolidine-4-carboxylic acid were administered intravenously to mice at the dose of 1000 mg/kg, no mice died 7 days after the administration. Thus, angiotensin-dependent hypertension in mammals can be alleviated by administration of the compound (I) of the present invention or a pharmaceutically acceptable salt thereof.
In the compound (I) of the present invention, representative examples of R.sup.1 include lower alkyl of one to four carbon atoms such as methyl, ethyl, n-propyl, isopropyl, n-butyl or isobutyl; and phenyl-lower alkyl such as benzyl, phenethyl, phenylpropyl or phenylbutyl. On the other hand, representative examples of R.sup.2 include lower alkyl of one to four carbon atoms such as methyl, ethyl, n-propyl, isopropyl, n-butyl or isobutyl. Representative examples of R.sup.3 include alkyl of one to 12 carbon atoms such as methyl, ethyl, n-propyl, isopropyl, n-butyl, isobutyl, n-pentyl, isopentyl, n-hexyl, isohexyl, n-heptyl, isoheptyl, n-octyl, isooctyl, n-nonyl, isononyl, n-decyl, isodecyl, n-undecyl, isoundecyl, n-dodecyl or isododecyl; and phenyl-lower alkyl such as benzyl, phenethyl, phenylpropyl or phenylbutyl. Representative examples of R.sup.4 include hydrogen; lower alkyl of one to four carbon atoms such as methyl, ethyl, n-propyl, isopropyl, n-butyl or isobutyl. Among the compounds of the present invention, a preferred subgenus is those of the formula (I) in which R.sup.1 is alkyl of one to four carbon atoms or benzyl, R.sup.2 is alkyl of one to four carbon atoms, R.sup.3 is straight or branched alkyl of 4 to 8 carbon atoms, benzyl or phenethyl and R.sup.4 is hydrogen or alkyl of one to four carbon atoms. Another preferred subgenus is the compound of the formula (I) in which R.sup.1 is methyl, n-butyl or benzyl, R.sup.2 is methyl or ethyl, R.sup.3 is isobutyl, isopentyl, n-octyl, benzyl or phenethyl and R.sup.4 is hydrogen, ethyl or n-butyl. Other preferred subgenus is the compound of the formula (I) in which R.sup.1 is methyl, R.sup.2 is methyl, R.sup.3 is n-octyl or phenethyl and R.sup.4 is hydrogen or ethyl.
While the compound (I) of the present invention can exist in the form of four diastereoisomers or eight optical isomers due to the three asymmetric carbon atoms involved therein, all of these optical isomers or a mixture thereof are included within the scope of the invention. Among said optical isomer, however, the compound (I) in which the carbon atoms at the 4th-position of oxoimidazolidine ring and at the 2nd-position of the amino acid moiety of the formula: --NH--CH(R.sup.3)COOR.sup.4 have S-configuration is preferred for medicinal use. The compound (I) of the invention in which the carbon atoms at the 4th-position of oxoimidazolidine ring, at the 2nd-position of the alkanoyl moiety of the formula: --COCH(R.sup.2)-- and at the 2nd-position of the amino acid moiety of the formula: --NH--CH(R.sup.3)COOR.sup.4 have S-configuration is most preferred for medicinal use.
The compound (I) of the invention can be used for pharmaceutical use either as the free acid (and/or base) or a salt thereof, and can form salts with either organic and inorganic acids or organic and inorganic bases. Pharmaceutically acceptable acid addition salts of the compound (I) include, for example, organic acid addition salts such as succinate, maleate, fumalate and methanesulfonate and inorganic acid addition salts such as hydrochloride, hydrobromide, sulfate and phosphate. On the other hand, pharmaceutically acceptable salts of the compound (I) with organic or inorganic bases include, for example, sodium, potassium, calcium and magnesium salts; or lysine, ornithine and dicyclohexylamine salts.
A daily dose of the compound (I) of the present invention will vary depending on severity of disease, age, weight or conditions of patients and other factors. A suitable daily dose of the compound (I) or a salt thereof may be about 1 to about 1000 mg, especially 10 to 500 mg, per body of patients.
Further, the compound (I) or a salt thereof may be used in the form of a pharmaceutical preparation containing the same compound in conjunction or admixture with a pharmaceutical excipient suitable for oral or parenteral administration. Suitable excipients include, for example, starch, lactose, glucose, potassium phosphate, corn starch, arabic gum, stearic acid and other known medicinal excipients. The pharmaceutical preparations may be in solid form such as tablets, pills, capsules or suppositories; or in liquid form such as solutions, suspensions or emulsions. They may be sterilized and/or may further contain auxiliaries such as stabilizing, wetting or emulsifying agent.
According to the present invention, the compound (I) can be prepared by subjecting the compound of the formulae: ##STR3## wherein R.sup.5 is a protecting group capable of being removed by acid treatment or catalytic hydrogenation, R.sup.6 is lower alkyl or a protecting group capable of being removed by acid treatment or catalytic hydrogenation and R.sup.1, R.sup.2 and R.sup.3 are the same as defined above, to acid treatment and/or catalytic hydrogenation.
In the above-mentioned compound (II), representative examples of the protecting group (R.sup.5 and/or R.sup.6) include tert.-butyl and benzyl. If tert.-butyl is used as the protecting group, the removal of said protecting group (R.sup.5 and/or R.sup.6) can be easily accomplished. For example, said removal of the protecting group is preferably carried out by contacting the compound (II) with an acid in an inert solvent. Suitable examples of the acid include hydrogen chloride, hydrogen bromide, hydrogen fluoride, trifluoroacetic acid and the like. Dioxane, tetrahydrofuran and ethyl acetate are suitable as the inert solvent. It is preferred to carry out the reaction at a temperature between 0.degree. C. and 50.degree. C., especially at a temperature of 20.degree. C. to 30.degree. C. On the other hand, if benzyl is used as the protecting group (R.sup.5 and/or R.sup.6), the removal of said protecting group can be effected by catalytic hydrogenation. This catalytic hydrogenation is carried out in the presence of a catalyst in a hydrogen gas atmosphere in a solvent. Preferred examples of the catalyst include palladium black, palladium-carbon, platinum oxide and the like. Lower alkanols such as methanol, ethanol and propanol are suitable as the solvent. It is preferred to carry out the reaction at a temperature of about 20.degree. C. to 40.degree. C. under one to 5 atmospheric pressure and under shaking. For example, said reaction proceeds smoothly at about 25.degree. C. under atmospheric pressure.
In the above-mentioned reactions, the compound (II) may be used in the form of either optically active isomer or a mixture thereof. Since said reactions proceed without racemization, the compound (I) is readily obtained either in the form of optically active isomer or a mixture thereof by the use of the corresponding optically active isomer of the compound (II) or a mixture thereof.
The compound (I) of the present invention may be readily converted into a pharmaceutically acceptable salt thereof in conventional manner, for example, by neutralization with a base or an acid.
The compound (II) which is used in the process of the present invention is also novel and can be prepared according to the methods shown by the following reaction scheme: ##STR4## wherein X is halogen, alkyl sulfonyloxy or aryl sulfonyloxy and R.sup.1, R.sup.2, R.sup.3, R.sup.5 and R.sup.6 are the same as defined above.
In the above-mentioned reaction scheme, the compound (III) can be prepared, for example, by condensing 3-benzyloxycarbonyl-2-oxo-imidazolidine-4-carboxylic acid (cf. Justus Liebich's. Annalen der Chemie., 529, 1 (1937)) with an alcohol of the formula: R.sup.5 --OH (wherein R.sup.5 is the same as defined above) to give 3-benzyloxycarbonyl-2-oxo-imidazolidine-4-carboxylate, reacting said ester with a halogeno compound of the formula: R.sup.1 --X' (wherein X' is halogen and R.sup.1 is the same as defined above) to give 1-substituted-3-benzyloxycarbonyl-2-oxo-imidazolidine-4-carboxylate, and then subjecting the product to catalytic hydrogenation. The starting compound, i.e., 3-benzyloxycarbonyl-2-oxo-imidazolidine-4-carboxylic acid, may be used in the form of either racemic modification or optically active isomer thereof. Moreover, the compound (III) in an optically active form may be readily obtained by the use of the corresponding optically active isomer of 3-benzyloxycarbonyl-2-oxo-imidazolidine-4-carboxylic acid because all these reactions proceed without racemization.
According to Method A, the compound (II) is prepared by condensing the compound (III) with a reactive derivative of the compound (IV). The condensation reaction of the compound (III) with the reactive derivative of the compound (IV) can be conducted in the presence of a base in a solvent. Suitable examples of the reactive derivative of the compound (IV) include the corresponding active esters (e.g., succinimide ester, benzotriazole ester). Tetrahydrofuran, dioxane, and methylene chloride are suitable as the solvent. Moreover, suitable examples of the base include alkali metal alkoxides (e.g., potassium tert.-butoxide, sodium ethoxide) and alkali metal hydrides (e.g., sodium hydride). It is preferred to carry out the reaction at a temperature between -60.degree. C. and 20.degree. C., especially at a temperature of -40.degree. C. to 0.degree. C.
In this reaction, the compound (III) and the reactive derivative of the compound (IV) may be used in the form of either optically active isomer or a mixture thereof. The optically active isomer of the compound (II) is obtained from the corresponding optically active isomer of the compounds (III) and (IV) without racemization. Moreover, the compound (IV) may be prepared by reacting an amino acid ester of the formula: NH.sub.2 --CH(R.sup.2)--COOR.sup.7 (VIII) (wherein R.sup.7 is tert.-butyl or benzyl and R.sup.2 is the same as defined above) with a compound of the formula: X--CH(R.sup.3)--COOR.sup.6 (IX) (wherein X is halogen, alkyl sulfonyloxy or aryl sulfonyloxy and R.sup.3 and R.sup.6 are the same as defined above), or reacting a halogeno-alkanoic acid ester of the formula: R.sup.7 OOC--CH(R.sup.2)--X (X) (wherein R.sup.2, R.sup.7 and X are the same as defined above) with a compound of the formula: NH.sub.2 --CH(R.sup.3)--COOR.sup.6 (VII) (wherein R.sup.3 and R.sup.6 are the same as defined above) in a manner known per se, and then removing the protecting group (R.sup.7) from the resultant compound of the formula: R.sup.7 OOC--CH(R.sup.2)--NH--CH(R.sup.3)--COOR.sup.6 (XI). If the compound (XI) obtained in this reaction is a mixture of two isomers, said isomers may be separated into each isomers thereof by silica gel chromatography and/or fractional crystallization. The fractional crystallization is carried out by forming the salt of the compound (XI) with maleic acid, and recovering the less soluble isomer from the reaction mixture. In this fractional crystallization procedure, the compound (XI) having S-configuration at both of the 2nd-position of the alkanoic moiety and the 2nd-position of the amino acid moiety forms the less soluble diastereomeric salt. The removal of the protecting group from the compound (XI) can be reasily conducted by subjecting the compound (XI) to acid treatment or catalytic hydrogenation.
On the other hand, according to Method B, the compound (II) is prepared by condensing the compound (III) with the reactive derivative of the compound (V) to give the compound (VI), and condensing said compound (VI) with the compound (VII). The condensation reaction of the compound (III) with the reactive derivative of the compound (V) can be conducted in the presence of an acid acceptor in a solvent. Suitable examples of the reactive derivative of the compound (V) include the corresponding acid halide (e.g., acid chloride, acid bromide). Moreover, suitable examples of the group X in the compound (V) include halogen such as chlorine, bromine or iodine; alkyl sulfonyloxy such as methanesulfonyloxy or ethanesulfonyloxy; and aryl sulfonyloxy such as p-toluenesulfonyloxy. Suitable examples of the acid acceptor include alkali metal alkoxides (e.g., potassium tert.-butoxide, sodium ethoxide) and alkali metal hydrides (e.g., sodium hydride). Tetrahydrofuran, dioxane, methylene chloride, chloroform and acetonitril are suitable as the solvent. It is preferred to carry out the reaction at a temperature between -60.degree. C. and 20.degree. C., especially at a temperature of -40.degree. C. to 0.degree. C.
The second step, i.e., the condensation reaction of the compound (VI) with the compound (VII), can be conducted in the presence of an acid acceptor in a solvent. Suitable examples of the acid acceptor include alkali metal carbonate such as potassium carbonate, sodium carbonate; alkali metal hydrogen carbonate such as sodium bicarbonate; organic tertiary amine such as 1,8-diazabicyclo[5.4.0]undecene-7. Hexamethylphosphoric triamide, dimethylformamide and tetrahydrofuran are suitable as the solvent. It is preferred to carry out the reaction at a temperature between 0.degree. C. and 80.degree. C., especially at a temperature of 20.degree. C. to 50.degree. C.
In the above-mentioned reactions, the compounds (III), (V) and (VII) may be used in the form of either racemic modification or optically active isomer thereof. When the compound (II) obtained in these reactions is a mixture of isomers, said compound (II) may be separated into each isomers thereof by silica gel column chromatography. Concomitantly, the amino acid of the formula (VII) in which R.sup.3 is phenethyl and n-octyl are obtained according to the method described in J. Med. Chem., 11, 1258, (1968) and J. Org. Chem., 41, 3491, (1976), and an optically active isomer of said amino acid may be obtained by enzymic resolution of the racemic modification thereof with an aminoacylase.

Throughout the specification and claims, the term "lower alkyl" should be interpreted as referring to alkyl of one to four carbon atoms and the term "alkyl" should be interpreted as referring to alkyl of one to 12 carbon atoms.
