BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION
1. Field of Invention
This invention relates to a method of treating allergy in a living animal body with piperidinyl, pyrrolidinyl, and homopiperidinyl derivatives substituted on nitrogen by aryloxyalkyl radicals and otherwise substituted by aryl (or diaryl)-alkanol, aryl (or diaryl)-alkyl and aryl (or diaryl)alkylidine radicals. The invention thus contemplates the use of the aforementioned heterocyclic amine derivatives defined by Formula I hereinbelow in treating allergic phenomena which includes but is not limited to asthma, rhinitis, atopic dermatitis, chronic hives and the like.
2. Information Disclosure Statement
Various systemic anti-allergy agents have long been known prior to this invention including, among others, aminophylline, theophylline, cortisosteroids, the disodium salt of 1,3-bis(2-carboxychromon-5-yloxy)-2-hydroxypropane, .alpha.-[(tertbutylamino)methyl]-3,5-dihydroxybenzylalcohol sulfate and oxatomide. The efficacy of some has suffered from undesirable side effects while others which are effective prophylactically are ineffective in acute manifestations of the allergic attack. By way of comparison, for example, the preferred compounds of the present invention are many times more potent than aminophylline and several times more potent than oxatomide.
Olefinic-4-substituted piperidino derivatives useful as antihistaminic, antiallergy agents and bronchodilators represented by the formula ##STR3## are disclosed in U.S. Pat. No. 3,862,173 wherein R represents hydrogen or forms a double bond, Y represents --CH.dbd.CH-- and Z represents thienyl, phenyl or phenyl substituted by halogen, alkyl, loweralkoxy, diloweralkylamino, pyrrolidino, piperidino, morpholino or N-loweralkylpiperazino. Compounds useful in the present invention differ in that an ether linkage is present and there is no unsaturation in the alkyl chain.
Diphenylmethylene-piperidineacetic acid derivatives useful as anti-allergic, anti-histaminic, and broncholytic agents are disclosed in European Pat. No. 48705B and have the formula: ##STR4## wherein Y is OH or NR.sub.1 R.sub.2 ; compounds useful in the present invention have an aryl group next to the ether oxygen.
U.S. Pat. No. 3,806,526 discloses 1-aroylalkyl-4-diphenylmethylpiperidines having antihistaminic, anti-allergenic and bronchodilator activity. In contrast, the compounds useful in the present invention have aryloxyalkyl radical on piperidine and pyrrolidine nitrogen rather than an aroylalkyl radical.
A number of the compounds useful in the present method of treating allergy have been disclosed specifically and under generic formulas in U.S. Pat. Nos. 3,922,276 and 3,956,296 as being useful as anti-inflammatory agents, tranquilizers and sedatives. These activities are not suggestive of use in treating allergy.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION
Anti-allergy agents of Formula I above useful in the method of treating allergy of this invention may be prepared by methods described in U.S. Pat. Nos. 3,922,276 and 4,032,642. One of the general methods used in the detailed examples hereinbelow is outlined by equation in Chart I (Method A). This reaction can be carried out in alcoholic solvents, preferably refluxing butanol or in dimethylformamide, dimethoxyethane in the presence of an acid receptor as, for example, an alkali-metal carbonate, and preferably using potassium iodide catalyst. The reaction time may vary from a few hours to 24 hr, depending on reactivity of the aryloxyalkyl halide and temperature. Temperature can vary from about 80.degree. C. to 125.degree. C. Products are isolated, usually by partitioning in a solvent such as methylene chloride, chloroform or benzene and the like and a weak basic aqueous solution and washing, drying and concentrating the organic layer to give the free base which may then be converted, if desired, to an acid addition salt in a conventional manner.
Alternate Method B is shown by equation in Chart II. This reaction may be carried out in a suitable solvent such as tetrahydrofuran at room temperature for several hours. Preparation and isolation of the free base and a salt is typically described in Example 4.
Alternate Method C is shown by equation in Chart III. This reaction is suitable only when there is no other hydroxy radical present.
Mesylation or tosylation with such as mesyl or tosyl chloride is conducted in the presence of an acid receptor such as a tertiary amine; e.g., triethylamine, while cooling. The final reaction of the mesylate or tosylate with the D-OM.sup.+ is conducted in a suitable organic solvent and the product free base is isolated by conventional means such as washing, extracting with an acid solution and an organic solvent and evaporating the solvent.
Alternate Method D is shown by equation in Chart IV. The method is limited to preparation of certain derivatives such as wherein D is 2-pyridinyl or 2-quinolinyl. Dimethyl sulfoxide is a suitable solvent and 60.degree. C. is a suitable temperature for the reaction. ##STR12##
To prepare acid addition salt, the free base is reacted with the calculated amount of organic or inorganic acid in aqueous miscible solvent such as ethanol or isopropanol, with isolation by concentration and/or cooling, or the base is reacted with an excess of the acid in aqueous immiscible solvent such as diethyl ether or isopropyl ether, with the desired salt separating directly. Exemplary of such organic salts are those formed with oxalic, maleic, fumaric, benzoic, ascorbic, pamoic, succinic, methanesulfonic, acetic, propionic, tartaric, citric, lactic, malic, citraconic, itaconic, hexamic, p-aminobenzoic, glutamic and stearic acid and the like. Exemplary of such inorganic salts are those formed with hydrochloric, hydrobromic, sulfuric, sulfamic, phosphoric and nitric acids.
If desired, the free base may be regenerated by proportioning the acid addition salt between an organic solvent such as methylene chloride and a weakly basic aqueous solution of, for example, sodium bicarbonate and separating the methylene chloride layer and evaporating it.
While, as stated above, the compounds of Formula I have generally exhibited positive anti-allergy utility, certain compounds encompassed by Formula I are more potent and therefore preferred and have the formula: ##STR13## wherein p is zero or one; Ar, R, m and D have the values assigned under Formula I, and the pharmaceutically acceptable acid salts thereof.
Precursors (Chemical Intermediates) used in the synthesis of compounds of Formula I are prepared in a number of ways as illustrated by the following (1) to (9) sets of equations which are also applicable to pyrrolidinyl and homopiperidinyl derivatives. (See also U.S. Pat. Nos. 3,922,276 and 3,956,296): ##STR14##

The preparation of other hydroxyphenyl intermediates and compounds is illustrated by the following equation: ##STR16##
The preparation of certain substituted phenol starting materials is illustrated by the following equations: ##STR17##

PHARMACOLOGY METHODS
Antiallergy Screening Method--Rats
As stated above, the primary screening method used to demonstrate antiallergy properties of the compounds of Formula I is a modification of the procedure of R. R. Martel and J. Klicius, International Archives Allergy Appl. Immunology, Vol. 54, pp 205-209 (1977) which measures the effect of oral administration of the compound on the volume of a rat paw which was previously injected with anti-egg albumin serum following egg albumin challenge. The procedure is as follows: Fed rats are injected in the right hind paw with 0.2 ml of rat anti-egg albumin serum at a dilution previously shown to produce significant edema upon antigen challenge. The animals are then fasted, but allowed water ad libitum. The next day the rats are randomized into groups of 6 by means of tables generated by the IBM scrambler. Random number tables are used to determine the groups receiving the control, reference and test articles. On the test day, the right foot volume of each rat is determined plethysmographically using the hairline as the reference point. Volume of this foot is measured with a mercury filled tube that is connected to a P 23A Statham.RTM. pressure transducer that in turn is connected to a linear Cole Parmer.RTM. recorder (Model No. 255). The instrument is adjusted so that a pen deflection of 50 mm is equivalent to 1 ml volume. Separately, the reference and test compounds and control articles are dissolved or suspended in 0.5% Tween 80 in distilled water. Sonification is used to facilitate dissolution or reduce particle size. The animals are dosed orally (10 ml/kg) at 1 hr prior to the intraveneous injection of the antigen, 2 mg of egg albumin in 0.2 ml of sterile saline. Thirty minutes later the right foot volume is measured again and edema is determined by difference. Results are expressed as the average foot edema (ml) .+-.S. S.D. A significant decrease (p<0.05) in edema of the treated group from that of the control group is considered as indicative of antiallergic activity. The results are acceptable only if the group receiving the reference article shows a significant decrease in foot edema. The foot volume for each animal is measured twice, once prior to dosing and again 30 min following the intravenous administration of antigen. Data is analyzed with the Dunnett's t-test that compares several treated groups with a control group. Differences between groups are determined by the studentized Range Test. Regression analysis may be used to determine relative potency.
Guinea Pig Anaphylaxis Method
The method used to test antiallergy effectiveness of the compounds in guinea pigs as compared to other drugs is as follows:
Guinea pigs are first sensitized to egg albumin (EA, Sigma Chemical Co., St. Louis, Missouri), at least 20 days prior to aerosol challenge by receiving 0.5 ml of EA-AlOH.sub.3 conjugate (33 .mu.g EA/ml) intramuscularly in each hind leg.
On the test day, fasted, sensitized guinea pigs are divided into a control group (8 animals per group) and test groups of four animals per group by using random number tables generated by an IBM scrambler. The reference; e.g., theophylline or test drug (Formula I cpd.) dissolved or suspended in 0.5% Tween 80 distilled water or the control article (0.5% Tween 80 in distilled water) are administered orally in a volume of liquid at 10 ml/kg. Either 1, 5, or 24 hours following the oral administration of the test drug, reference drug, or control article, each animal is placed in an aerosolization chamber. EA (10 mg/ml) aerosolized at a rate of 10 liters of air/min is delivered into the chamber for a maximum of 5 minutes. The anaphylactic response consists of coughing, dyspnea, reeling, collapse and death. Upon collapsing, the animals are removed from the chamber. Animals are considered protected if they do not collapse within 5 min of exposure to the aerosolized antigen. The number of animals that collapse in each group is recorded. ED.sub.50 for collapse is calculated by the method of Litchfield and Wilcoxon (1949), J. PHARMACOL. EXP. THERAP. 95, 99-113 for evaluation of dose-effect experiments. Comparisons of ED.sub.50 x from different experimental trials and determinations of relative potency are determined by the Litchfield and Wilcoxon method, ibid. The following conditions must be met before an experiment is acceptable:
(1) Control group shows collapse in 7/8 or 8/8 animals, and
(2) Theophylline reference group shows protection in 3/4 or 4/4 animals treated 1 hr or 5 hr prior to antigen exposure.
Pharmaceutical Compositions and Administration
Compositions for administration to living animals are comprised of at least one of the compounds of Formula I according to the antiallergy method of the invention in association with a pharmaceutical carrier or excipient. Effective quantities of the compounds may be administered in any one of various ways, for example, orally as in elixirs, capsules, tablets or coated talbets, parenterally in the form of sterile solutions, suspensions, and in some cases intravenously in the form of sterile solutions, intranasally and to the throat or bronchial region in the form of drops, sprays, aerosols and powders, etc. or cutaneously as topical ointments, solutions, powders, etc. Suitable tableting excipients include lactose, potato and maize starches, talc, gelatin, stearic and silica acids, magnesium stearate and polyvinyl pyrrolidone.
For parenteral administration, the carrier or excipient can be comprised of a sterile parenterally acceptable liquid; e.g., water or archis oil contained in ampoules.
Advantageously, the compositions are formulated as dosage units, each unit being adapted to supply a fixed dose of active ingredients. Tablets, coated tablets, capsules, ampoules, sprays and suppositories are examples of preferred dosage forms. It is only necessary that the active ingredient constitute an effective amount such that a suitable effective dosage will be consistent with the dosage form employed, in multiples if necessary. The exact individual dosages, as well as daily dosages, will of course be determined according to standard medical principles under the direction of a physician or veterinarian. Generally, the pharmacology tests on guinea pigs in comparison to certain other anti-allergy drugs suggest an effective dose for an adult will be in the range of 0.5 to 10 mg for the move active compounds with a daily dosage amounting to about 2 to 40 mg/day
Based on the animal data, unit dosages containing an amount of compound equivalent to about 0.01 to 0.1 mg of active drug per kilogram of body weight are contemplated. Daily dosages to about 0.05 to 0.5 mg/kg of body weight are contemplated for humans and obviously several small dosage forms may be administered at one time. However, the amount of the active compounds administered need not be limited by these contemplations due to uncertainty in transposing animal data to human treatment.
Various modifications and equivalents will be apparent to one skilled in the art and may be made in the compounds, methods of treatment and compositions of the present invention without departing from the spirit or scope thereof, and it is therefore to be understood that the invention is to be limited only by the scope of the appended claims.
