TECHNICAL FIELD

[0001] The present invention relates to a pharmaceutical composition for the alleviation or treatment of symptoms due to ischemic diseases, for example, cerebral infarction, intracerebral hemorrhage, transient ischemic attack, subarachnoid hemorrhage, head-trauma, after effects of brain surgery, after effects of cerebral arteriosclerosis, and other cerebrovascular disorders, or variant angina, unstable angina, myocardial infarction, cardiovascular system disorders accompanying surgery for revascularization by PTCA (percutaneous transluminal coronary angioplasty)/PTCR (percutaneous transluminal coronary revascularization)/CABG (coronary artery bypass grafting) etc., malignant arrhythmia and myocardial ischemia-reperfusion injury, and further disorders of transplanted organs at the time of organ transplants and temporary blockage of the blood flow in organs at the time of surgery, and also symptoms derived from seizures, epilepsy, migraine, etc. and Ca2+ overload suppressants. The present invention further relates to a novel arylpiperidinol and arylpiperidine derivatives having an action in suppressing Ca2+ overload and useful for the alleviation or treatment of symptoms due to the above ischemic diseases and also symptoms derived from seizures, epilepsy, migraine, etc., their pharmaceutically acceptable salts, and synthetic intermediates for the preparation of the aforementioned compounds.

BACKGROUND ART

[0002] In cellular disorders caused by advanced ischemia, the depletion of ATP, the fall in the pH in the cells, and the destruction of the mechanism for maintenance of the energy-dependent ion homeostasis inside and outside the cell cause the accumulation of a large amount of intracellular divalent Ca ions (Ca2+). It is believed that the Ca overload causes functional disorders in the mitochondria and randomly activates various enzyme reactions and invites further Ca2+ overload to cause a repeated vicious cycle and in the end causes irreparable damage to the cell wall and cell death [F. B. Meyer: Brain Res. Rev., 14, 227 (1989); E. Boddeke et al.: Trends Pharmacol. Sci., 10,397 (1989)].

[0003] Pharmaceuticals which suppress cytotoxic Ca2+ overload are considered to be these for the alleviation or treatment of various ischemic diseases, for example, cerebral infarction, intracerebral hemorrhage, transient ischemic attack, subarachnoid hemorrhage, head trauma, after effects of brain surgery, after effects of cerebral arteriosclerosis, and other cerebrovascular disorders, or variant angina, unstable angina, myocardial infarction, cardiovascular system disorders accompanying surgery for revascularization by PTCA/PTCR/CABG etc., malignant arrhythmia and myocardial ischemia-reperfusion injury, and further disorders of transplanted organs at the time of organ transplants and temporary blockage of the blood flow in organs at the time of surgery.

DISCLOSURE OF THE INVENTION

[0004] Under the above circumstances, the objective of the present invention is to provide a pharmaceutical composition having an action of suppressing cytotoxic Ca2+ overload, with high safety, and useful for the alleviation or treatment of symptoms due to ischemic diseases or symptoms derived from seizures, epilepsy, and migraine.

[0005] Another objective of the-present invention is to provide a novel arylpiperidinol and arylpiperidine derivatives useful as pharmaceutical ingredients, their pharmaceutically acceptable salts, and synthetic intermediates of the same.

[0006] In accordance with the present invention, there is provided a pharmaceutical composition for the alleviation or treatment of symptoms due to ischemic diseases or symptoms derived from seizures, epilepsy, and migraine containing, as an effective ingredient, a compound having the formula (I):

Next, the compound (VII) is treated by a similar method as described in step 2 to obtain the compound of the formula (IIb).

[0068] The compounds obtained by the above reactions can be used, as they are, for the next step, but can also be used after purification if necessary by a conventional method such as recrystallization or column chromatography.

[0069] Step 6:

[0070] The compound (Ib) or (I′b) where X is a hydrogen atom in the formula (I) or (I′) can be synthesized by a similar method as described in step 3 from the compound (IIb) obtained in step 5 and the compound (V) or (V′):

[0071] where, R, R′, A, B, Y, and Z are the same as defined above.

[0072] Step 7:

[0073] Among the compounds represented by the formulas (Ib) and (I′b), the compound (Ib′) or (I′b′) where A is a connecting bond and B is an alkylene group substituted with a hydroxyl group can be synthesized by a similar method as described in step 4 from the compound (IIb) obtained in step 5:

[0075] The isomers included in the compound having the formulas,(I) and (I′) of the present invention may be separated by conventional methods, for example, recrystallization, column chromatography, thin layer chromatography, high pressure liquid chromatography, or similar methods using optically active reagents.

[0076] The compound having the formulas (I) or (I′) of the present invention may be dissolved in a suitable organic solvent, for example, ether, tetrahydrofuran, methylene chloride, chloroform; benzene, toluene, etc. and treated with an inorganic or organic acid to obtain the corresponding salt. Examples of the inorganic acid used here include hydrochloric acid, sulfuric acid, nitric acid, phosphoric acid, periodic acid, etc. and examples of the organic acid include formic acid, acetic acid, butyric acid, oxalic acid, malonic acid, propionic acid, valeric acid, succinic acid, fumaric acid, maleic acid, tartaric acid, citric acid, malic acid, benzoic acid, p-toluenesulfonic acid, methanesulfonic acid, etc.

[0077] The compound according to the present invention is low in toxicity. For example, the 50% lethal dosage LD50 of acute toxicity of the compound of Compound No. 17, calculated from the death rate up to 24 hours after intravenous injection of the drug into ddY mice (male, 6 weeks old) by a conventional method, was 32 mg/kg.

[0078] The compound having the formula (I) or (I′) of the present invention is low in toxicity and can be used alone by itself, or if desired, can be prepared with other normal pharmaceutically allowable known and generally used carriers into preparations designed for the alleviation and treatment of symptoms due to ischemic diseases. For example, the effective ingredient can be administered orally or nonorally by itself or made into a capsule, tablet, injection, or other suitable preparation together with usually used excipients. For example, capsule preparations are prepared by mixing the original powder with lactose, starch or its derivatives, cellulose derivatives or other excipients and packing the mixture into gelatin capsules. Further, tablets can be prepared by adding and kneading in, in addition to said excipient, sodium carboxymethylcellulose, alginic acid, arabia gum, and other binders and water, if necessary granulating the same, then further adding talc, stearic acid, or other lubricants and preparing the final form using a usual compression tablet-making machine. At the time of non-oral administration using injection, the effective ingredient is dissolved together with a solubilizer in sterilized distilled water or sterilized physiological saline and sealed in an ampule to make the injection preparation. If necessary, a stabilizing agent, buffer, etc. may also be included.

[0079] The dosage of the pharmaceutical composition for the alleviation or treatment of ischemic diseases differs depending on various factors, for example, the symptoms, gravity of symptoms,-age, and complications of the patient to be treated and depending on the route of administration, the form of the preparation, the frequency of administration, etc., but usually is 0.1 to 1000 mg/day/person, preferably 1 to 500 mg/day/person as an effective ingredient in the case of oral administration, and {fraction (1/100)} to ½ the amount of oral dosage in the case of non-oral administration. These amounts of dosages may be suitably changed in accordance with the age, symptoms, etc. of the patient.

Inhibitory Effect of Veratrizine-induced Sodium Channel Activity

[0143] The membrane potential of the synaptozomes prepared from the brain membrane of Wistar rats (male, 10 to 12 weeks old) was measured by the method of Aiuchi et al. [T. Aiuchi et al: Biochimi. Biophys. Acta. 771, 228 (1984)] using a membrane potential sensitive fluorescent dye Rhodamine 6 G to evaluate the effects of suppression of the compound on the veratrizine-inducing depolarization response. The results are shown in Table II.

Audiogenic Seizure Suppressing Effect

[0145] The audiogenic seizure supptessing effect of the compounds was evaluated by the method of Sarro et al. [G. B. De Sarro et al., Br. J. Pharmacol., 93, 247 (1988)]. That is, the compound dissolved in 10% 2-hydroxypropyl-β-cyclodextrin was administered intraperitoneally to DBA/2N type mice (male, 3 weeks old). After 20 minutes, a supersonic washer was used to apply audio stimulus of at least 90 dB for one minute. The wild running (WR), clonic seizures (clonus), tonic seizures (tonus), and respiratory arrest (RA) were observed. The seizure suppressing effect was evaluated from the rate of suppression of the average value of the seizure score found as 0=no response, 1=WR, 2 =clonus, 3=tonus, and 4=RA. The results are shown in Table IV.
