Aromatic and heterocyclic carboxamide derivatives as antineoplastic agents

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION
Because cancer is second only to heart and vascular diseases as a cause of death in man, considerable effort and research has been expended in developing some form of chemotherapy to successfully treat the various kinds of human cancers. Tumors, one common manifestation of cancer in man, which are abnormal masses of new tissue growth, can bring physical discomfort and drain the body of its vital energies.
Many of the antitumor compounds recently discovered have been natural products. These include heterocyclic lactams from marine sponges (U.S. Pat. No. 4,729,996), succinimide derivatives of indole alkaloids (U.S. Pat. No. 4,667,030) and indoledione derivatives from marine sponges (U.S. Pat. No. 4,731,366). Antitumor activity has also been found in synthetic acylurea derivatives (U.S. Pat. No. 4,677,111).
U.S. Pat. No. 4,563,527 claims a series of naphthyl amidines as antitrypsin, anti-plasmin, anti-kallikrein and anti-thrombin agents.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION
The compounds of formulae I and II are prepared by the acylation of the appropriate 2-aminobenzothiazole with a carboxy activated benzoic or thiazolyl carboxylic acid.
The activated acid can consist of an acid halide or an activated ester or mixed anhydride. The preferred acylating agent is either the N-hydroxysuccinimide ester or the acid chloride.
The coupling reaction can be achieved by contacting one mole of the appropriate benzoic or thiazolyl carboxylic acid N-hydroxysuccinimide ester hydrochloride with from 1 to 2 moles of the requisite 2-aminobenzothiazole and about 0.01 mole of hydroquinone in a reaction-inert solvent such as dimethylformamide, dimethylsulfoxide, or N-methyl-2-pyrrolidone. The reaction is heated in the dark for about 1 to 36 hours at a reaction temperature of 20-180.degree. C.
On completion of the reaction, the reaction mixture is diluted with methanol, filtered, if necessary, and the filtrate applied to the protonated form of an ionexchange resin (pH 5-6) such as GC 50 (Aldrich Chemical Co., Inc.). The resin-product complex is then washed sufficiently with methanol, water, dimethylsulfoxide, dimethylformamide or acetonitrile or mixtures thereof, to remove all the remaining, unreacted 2-aminobenzothiazole.
The product is freed from the resin complex by treating the complex with a 0.1-0.01 molar solution of an acid such as hydrochloric acid, hydrobromic acid, methane sulfonic acid, lactic acid or acetic acid in such solvents as water, methanol or acetonitrile. The wash liquids are combined and concentrated. The product, isolated as the salt of the acid wash, precipitates as the solution is concentrated, and is collected by filtration. Further purification can be carried out by recrystallization from such solvents as dimethylformamide, tetrahydrofuran, ethyl acetate, dimethylsulfoxide, N-methyl-2-pyrrolidone or methanol or mixtures thereof.
A modification of this procedure comprises contacting one mole of the requisite acid N-hydroxysuccinimide ester, or optionally an acid addition salt, with 1.0-2.0 moles of the corresponding 2-aminobenzothiazole hydrochloride, 0.01 mole of hydroquinone and, if required, 0.01 mole of 4-dimethylaminopyridine in a reaction-inert anhydrous solvent such as dimethylformamide, dimethylsulfoxide, tetrahydrofuran, ethyl acetate, benzene, toluene, acetonitrile or N-methyl-2-pyrrolidone or mixtures thereof. The reaction time is about 1-36 hours depending on the reaction temperature, which is from about 20-180.degree. C.
On completion of the reaction, the reaction mixture is allowed to cool to room temperature, and the precipitated solid, which is usually an acid addition salt of the desired product, is filtered. The filtrate, containing the remainder of the product, is adjusted to a pH of about 7-9 using such bases as pyridine, aqueous alkali bicarbonates, alkali carbonates or alkali hydroxides, and the product, in neutral form, isolated by filtration or extraction with a water-immiscible solvent, such as ethyl acetate, methylene chloride, chloroform or diethyl ether. The isolated product can subsequently be converted to an acid addition salt by treating a solution of the neutral product with an equivalent of an appropriate inorganic or organic acid. The originally obtained acid addition salt can be crystallized from any one of the previously mentioned recrystallizing solvents, or it can be converted to the neutral compound by adjusting an aqueous solution of the salt to a pH of 7-10 and isolating the neutral product as described above.
A second modification of the process for preparing the compounds of formulae I and II comprises, initially, containing one mole of the appropriate benzoic or thiazolyl carboxylic acid with one mole of N-, 0-bistrimethylsilyl acetamide in tetrahydrofuran at elevated temperatures until the mixture is homogeneous, followed by the addition of 2 moles of thionyl chloride. The resulting acid chloride coupling reagents may precipitate as acid addition salts.
Alternately, the acid chlorides can be prepared by heating the appropriate acids with a large excess of thionyl chloride, in an suitable solvent such as tetrahydrofuran, followed by concentration under vacuum to obtain the desired intermediate acid chloride hydrochloride salt.
The above mentioned acid chlorides are generally employed in the next coupling reaction without purification. In practice, one mole of the acid chloride hydrochloride is treated with 1.0-4.0 moles of the desired 2-aminobenzothiazole in a reaction-inert solvent such as those mentioned previously when an activated ester was employed instead of an acid chloride The reaction is carried out at room temperature with a reaction time of 1-24 hours. The completed reaction can be neutralized with ammonium hydroxide to pH 7-10 and the neutral product either filtered from the reaction or extracted with a water immiscible solvent such as previously mentioned.
The compounds of formulae I and II can also be prepared through the condensation of the benzoic or thiazolyl carboxylic acid esters and the alkali metal salt, such as the sodium salt, of the appropriate 2-aminobenzothiazole.
In practice, a solution of one mole of the requisite ester in a reaction inert solvent, such dimethylformamide, dimethylsulfoxide or acetonitrile, is added to a suspension of about one mole of the sodium salt of the desired 2-aminothiazole, also in a similar reaction-inert solvent, the sodium salt having been prepared in situ by the reaction of the 2-aminobenzothiazole with an equivalent of oil free sodium hydride.
The reaction time at ambient temperatures is about 24 hours. The reaction mixture is then diluted with water and the product precipitated by the addition of sufficient 1N hydrochloric acid to give a pH of 7. The product can be purified by conventional means such as chromatographing or recrystallization.
The formation of the compounds of formulae III and IV result from the alkylation of the compounds of formulae II and I, respectively.
In practice, the neutral compounds of formulae I and II in a reaction inert solvent such as dimethylsulfoxide, dimethylformamide or N-methyl-2-pyrrolidone are treated with about an equimolar amount of the alkylating agent, generally as halide and the reaction mixture heated at steam bath temperature until the reaction is homogeneous. The reaction mixture is cooled to room temperature resulting in the precipitation of the product as an acid addition salt, the anion of which is derived from the halide of the alkylating agent.
As previously indicated, the present invention embraces pharmaceutically acceptable salts of the biologically active compounds. Such salts are those which are non-toxic at the dosages administered. Since compounds of the invention may contain both basic and acidic groups, both acid addition and alkali addition salts are possible. Pharmaceutically acceptable acid addition salts include e.g., the hydrochloride, hydrobromide, hydroiodide, sulfate, bisulfate, phosphate, acid phosphate, acetate, lactate, maleate, mesylate, fumarate, citrate, acid citrate, tartrate, bitartrate, succinate, gluconate, glutamate, aspartate and saccharate salts. Pharmaceutically acceptable alkali addition salts include e.g., the sodium, potassium, calcium and magnesium salts. Conventional methods of forming acid addition and alkali addition salts may be employed.
The compounds of formulae III and IV are alkylated on the nitrogen containing the acidic proton removed during the formation of basic salts and, consequently, can only form acid addition salts.
The activity of the compounds of this invention as antitumor agents can be determined by several tests. One of the procedures which is accepted as a reliable test for the evaluation of antitumor agents is the Experimental Metastasis, Survival (EMS) Assay for evaluation of cancer therapeutants. This test is designed for the detection and evaluation of cancer therapeutants. It employs the Lewis lung carcinoma (3LL) which is the most frequently used tumor worldwide for the discovery of antimetastatic and antitumor agents. This tumor has been shown to be related in histopathology and chemotherapeutic responses to human lung carcinomata. The design of the system is similar to that used by the National Cancer Institute tumor screens, but employs technical modifications to provide increased reproducibility and precision. The values for compounds active in this screen can be compared to published values for anticancer drugs. The tumor was selected for its high predictivity rate for clinical success.
The test is carried out as follows:
1. Adult female (C57BL/6 .times.DBA/2)F1 hybrid mice (18-20 g, n=7/group) are given an intravenous (lateral tail vein) injection of 4-6 .times.10E5 log phase 3LL Lewis lung carcinoma cells on day 0, which initiates pulmonary arrest, extravasation and pulmonary metastatic tumor growth.
2. At various times after iv tumor challenge mice are treated with test agents. The standard operating procedure involves intraperitoneal administration for each of 8 consecutive days, beginning on the second day after tumor challenge (i.e., qd 2-9).
3. The mice are monitored daily, throughout the experiment, for compound-related or tumor-related deaths. The median survival time (MST in days) is used to compute the value for T/C as follows:
T/C (%)=MST(treated)/MST(controls).times.100%
4. By this formula, compounds which have a value for T/C>124% and which are statistically significant in the Armitage-Cochran test (P<0.05) are considered active. Substantial activity is associated with values for T/C of >150%. Outstanding activity (T/C>200%) in this assay is comparable to the best of the clinically active drugs such as adriamycin and cyclophosphamide.
5. During preliminary work, it has been observed that the MST for vehicle controls ranges from 16-20 days, with 17 days occurring most frequently.
The compounds of the present invention can be administered as antitumor agents by either the oral or parental routes of administration. In general, these antitumor compounds are normally administered orally in dosages ranging from about 6 mg to about 400 mg per kg of body weight per day and 1 mg to about 200 mg per kg of body weight per day when given parenterally; variations will necessarily occur depending upon the condition of the subject being treated and the particular compound being administered. It is to be noted that these compounds may be administered in combination with pharmaceutically acceptable carriers by either of the routes previously indicated, and that such administration can be carried out in both single and multiple dosages.
The novel compounds of the invention can be orally administered in a wide variety of different dosage forms, i.e., they may be formulated with various pharmaceutically acceptable inert carriers in the form of tablets, capsules, lozenges, troches, hard candies, powders, sprays, aqueous suspensions, elixirs, syrups, and the like. Such carriers include solid diluents or fillers, sterile aqueous media and various non-toxic organic solvents, etc. Moreover, such oral pharmaceutical formulations can be suitably sweetened and/or flavored by means of various agents of the type commonly employed for such purposes. In general, the compounds of this invention are present in such oral dosage forms at concentration levels ranging from about 0.5% to about 90% by weight of the total composition, in amounts which are sufficient to provide the desired unit dosages.
For purposes of oral administration, tablets containing various excipients such as sodium citrate, calcium carbonate and calcium phosphate may be employed along with various disintegrants such as starch and preferably potato and tapioca starch, alginic acid and certain complex silicates, together with binding agents such as polyvinylpyrrolidone, sucrose, gelatin and acacia. Additionally, lubricating agents such as magnesium stearate, sodium lauryl sulfate and talc are often very useful for tabletting purposes. Solid compositions of a similar type may also be employed as fillers in soft and hard-filled gelatin capsules; preferred materials in this connection would also include lactose or milk sugar as well as high molecular weight polyethylene glycols. When aqueous suspensions and/or elixirs are desired of oral administration, the essential active ingredient therein may be combined with various sweetening or flavoring agents, coloring matter or dyes and, if so desired, emulsifying and/or suspending agents as well, together with such diluents as water, ethanol, propylene glycol, glycerin and various like combinations thereof.
In addition to being antitumor agents, the compounds of this invention are also protease inhibitors and have application as anti-plasmin agents.
Plasmin, an enzyme existing in the blood, is the result of the action of plasminogen tissue activator on the proenzyme plasminogen. Plasmin plays an important role in capillary blood flow and in the dissolution of fibrin. However, when this enzyme is present in abnormal amounts it causes hemorrhagic diseases. In such cases, the use of anti-plasmin agents is extremely important. The compounds of the present possess this anti-plasmin activity, which can be readily demonstrated by the assay of H. Zimmerman, et al., Proc. Natl. Acad. Sci., 75, 750 (1978).
The compounds of the present invention can be administered as anti-plasmin agents by either the oral or parental routes of administration. In general, these anti-plasmin compounds are normally administered orally in dosages ranging from about 6 mg to about 400 mg per kg of body weight per day and 1 mg to about 200 mg per kg of body weight per day when given parenterally; variations will necessarily occur depending upon the condition of the subject being treated and the particular compound being administered. It is to be noted that these compounds may be administered in combination with pharmaceutically acceptable carriers by either of the routes previously indicated, and that such administration can be carried out in both single and multiple dosages.
As antiplasmin agents, the compounds of the present invention can be administered orally in the same form as when administered as antitumor agents, making use of tablets, capsules, lozenges, troches, powder, aqueous suspensions and the like.

The following examples illustrate the invention but are not to be construed as limiting the same.
