BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION
Gastric and duodenal ulcers are gastro intestinal diseases caused by various factors such as mental stress, dietary habits, intake of irritable food etc. The ulcers are caused due to damage of gastric membrane because of excess secretion of gastric acid.
The therapeutic agents which have been commonly used for the treatment of ulcers are antacids for neutralizing gastric acid, antipepsin agents for protecting the gastric mucous membrane and anticholinergic agents for inhibiting gastric acid secretion. At the present time, Histamine-H.sub.2 -receptor antagonists have been widely used for treating gastric and duodenal ulcers.
More recently, proton pump inhibitors are gaining importance since they block the proton pump of H.sup.+ /K.sup.+ -ATPase, an enzyme specifically present in the parietal cells of the stomach to inhibit the gastric acid secretion at the final stage. One of the earliest proton pump inhibitors is 2-[[(4-methoxy-3,5-dimethyl)pyridin-2-yl]methylsulfinyl]-5-methoxy-1H-benzimidazole whose generic name is Omeprazole (see Patent Application. Nos. EP 0 005 129; JP 79,141,783 and U.S. Pat. No. 4,255,43 1) having the following, formula (II) which is being, used to treat the above mentioned disease conditions. ##STR3##

SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION
The above mentioned compounds are highly effective for the treatment of gastrointestinal disorders. But it has been suggested that because of their longer duration of action or in other words the irreversible binding to the H.sup.+ /K.sup.+ -ATPase enzyme may lead to potentially serious side effects for example gastric carcinoids (Ref: Scand. J. Gastroenterol., 1985, 20, 53).
Therefore, we focussed our research effort for developing novel compounds for prophylaxis and/or the treatment of ulcers, as cytoprotective agents for gastrointestinal tract and as antibacterial agents, more specifically as bactericides for Helicobacter pylori, for inhibiting gastric acid secretion, which may have shorter duration of action.
The main objective of the present invention is therefore, to provide novel pyridylmethylsulfinyl benzimidazoles of the general formula (I), its derivatives, its analogs, its tautomers, its various isomers, its polymorphs, its pharmaceutically acceptable salts, pharmaceutically acceptable solvates and pharmaceutical compositions containing them.
Another objective of the present invention is to provide novel pyridylmethylsulfinyl benzimidazoles of the general formula (I), its derivatives, its analogs, its various isomers, its polymorphs, its pharmaceutically acceptable salts, its pharmaceutically acceptable solvates and pharmaceutical compositions containing them having a better safety profile and shorter H.sup.+ /K.sup.+ -ATPase enzyme inhibition time.
Yet another objective of the present invention is therefore, to provide a process for the preparation of novel pyridylmethylsulfinyl benzimidazoles of the general formula (I), its derivatives, its analogs, its tautomers, its various isomers, its polymorphs, its pharmaceutically acceptable salts, pharmaceutically acceptable solvates and pharmaceutical compositions containing them.
Still another objective of the present invention is to provide a novel intermediate of formula (IV) ##STR22## where X and Y may be same or different and independently represent a hydrogen, halogen, optionally halogenated (C.sub.1 -C.sub.6)alkoxy group, or optionally halogenated (C.sub.1 -C.sub.6)alkyl group; A represents a substituted or unsubstituted, 3 to 7 membered nitrogen containing heterocycle excluding substituted or unsubstituted pyrroles; A may further contain one or more heteroatoms selected from N, O, S or a group NR.sup.5 where R.sup.5 represents hydrogen, (C.sub.1 -C.sub.6)alkyl, aralkyl, acyl, alkoxycarbonyl, aryloxycarbonyl, or aralkoxycarbonyl groups; the heterocycle A, is linked specifically through N- atom to the benzimidazole moiety; the group A may be saturated or may contain one or more double bonds.

The presence of polymorphs may be determined by solid probe NMR spectroscopy, IR spectroscopy, differential scanning calorimetry, powder X-ray diffraction or such other techniques.
The present invention also provides a pharmaceutical composition, containing the compounds of the general formula (I), as defined above, their derivatives, their analogs, their tautomeric forms, their stereoisomers, their polymorphs, their pharmaceutically acceptable salts, their pharmaceutically acceptable solvates in combination with the usual pharmaceutically employed carriers, diluents and the like, useful for prophylaxis and/or treatment of gastric and duodenal ulcers, as cytoprotective agents for gastrointestinal tract and as antibacterial agents more specifically as bactericides for Helicobacter pylori.
The pharmaceutical composition may be in the forms normally employed such as for oral use, tablets, capsules, powders, syrups, solutions, suspensions, sustained release formulations, enteric-coated capsules or for paranteral use, injections. These are normally prepared by using pharmaceutically acceptable additives, carriers, diluents, sterile media and the like by using methods well known to those skilled in the art.
The compound of the formula (I) as defined above are clinically administered to mammals, including man, via either oral or parenteral routes. Administration by the oral route is preferred, being more convenient and avoiding the possible pain and irritation of injection. However, in circumstances where the patient cannot swallow the medication, or absorption following oral administration is impaired, as by disease or other abnormality, it is essential that the drug be administered parenterally. By either route, the dosage is in the range of about 1 mg to about 1000 mg (70 kg body weight) per day administered singly or as a divided dose. However, the optimum dosage for the individual subject being treated will be determined by the person responsible for treatment, generally smaller doses being administered initially and thereafter increments made to determine the most suitable dosage.
The dose may remarkably vary depending upon the patient, age and the kind of ulcers.
Suitable pharmaceutically acceptable carriers include solid fillers or diluents and sterile aqueous or organic solutions. The active compound will be present in such pharmaceutical compositions in the amounts sufficient to provide the desired dosage in the range as described above. Thus, for oral administration, the compounds can be combined with a suitable solid or liquid carrier or diluent to form capsules, tablets, powders, syrups, solutions, suspensions and the like. The pharmaceutical compositions, may, if desired, contain additional components such as flavourants, sweeteners, excipients and the like. For parenteral administration, the compounds can be combined with sterile aqueous or organic media to form injectable solutions or suspensions. For example, the injection can be prepared by mixing the active ingredient with pH adjusting buffers, stabilizers, solubilizing agent or the like.
The invention is explained in detail in the examples given below which are provided by way of illustration only and therefore should not be construed to limit the scope of the invention.

Preparation of Pyridylmethylsulfinyl benzimidazole derivatives and their sodium salts:
General procedure:
A solution of pyridylmethylthio benzimidazole derivative (1.0 eq) (see examples 1-42) in dichloromethane or chloroform (5.0 mL /1.0 mmol of substrate) was cooled to -40.degree. to -50.degree. C. A solution of m-chloroperbenzoic acid (50%, 0.9 to 1.5 eq) in dichloromethane or chloroform (1.0 mL /1.0 mmol of substrate) was cooled to -40.degree. to -50.degree. C. and added dropwise to the above solution. The reaction mixture was stirred for 0.5 to 5 h at the same temperature and quenched with triethylamine (1.5 to 2.0 eq). The mixture was slowly warmed to -10.degree. C., followed by the addition of an aqueous solution of sodium carbonate and stirred for 30 minutes. The mixture was extracted with chloroform and the extracts were washed with brine; dried over anhydrous sodium sulfate and the solvent was removed under reduced pressure. The residue was purified by column chromatography over alumina using a mixture of methanol--ethyl acetate (1:9 to 4:1) as eluent. The syrupy oil was crystallised from diethyl ether or acetone to obtain the title compound.
To the compound obtained above (1.0 eq) was added 0.1N NaOH solution (1.0 eq) and stirred for 1 h at ca 30.degree. C. Ethanol was added and distilled to remove water as an azeotropic mixture with ethanol under reduced pressure. The residue obtained was crystallised from diethyl ether or acetone.
Following compounds (Examples 43-92 ) were prepared according to the general procedure described above.

A) H.sup.+ /K.sup.+ - ATPase inhibition
The most efficient method for reducing acid-related gastrointestinal disorder is through the inhibition of proton pump on the gastric parietal cell. The proton pump (H.sup.+ /K.sup.+ ATPase) is a membrane bound enzyme that exchanges protons for K.sup.+ ions across the apical surface. Associated with this is a K.sup.+ /Cl.sup.- cotransporter which recycles the K.sup.+ together with the Cl.sup.- across the apical surface where HCl is formed by the Cl.sup.- ions together with the secreted H.sup.+. This enzyme has an ATP hydrolyzing activity which requires intravesicular K.sup.+.
Principle ##EQU1## P.sub.i liberated is estimated, the amount of P.sub.i liberated is proportional to the enzyme activity.
(i) Preparation of H.sup.+ /K.sup.+ - ATPase
Rabbit gastric mucosa containing H.sup.+ /K.sup.+ - ATPase activity is isolated according to the modified method of Reenstra et al. (Reenstra, W. W. & Forte, J. G. Methods in enzymology 1990, 92:551). After homogenizing the fundic mucosa in buffer (5 mM PIPES, 0.25M sucrose, 0.2 mM EDTA, pH 6.8), the high speed supernatant is layered over 20 mL of 37% sucrose bed and subjected to ultracentrifugation at 25,000 rpm (SW-28 rotor) for 4 h at 4.degree. C. The interfacial layer is collected and diluted with homogenization buffer, subjected to ultracentrifugation at 25,000 rpm for 1 hour. The pellet thus obtained is used for enzyme assay.
(ii) Measurement of the activity of H.sup.+ /K.sup.+ - ATPase
Assay is carried out according to the protocol described by Beil, R (Beil, R. Br. J. Pharmacol, 1984, 82:651). The compound of the present invention was incubated at various concentrations with H.sup.+ /K.sup.+ - ATPase and the membrane protein (10 .mu.g/mL) in assay medium containing 50 mM Tris buffer solution having a pH of 6.5, 250 mM sucrose, 3 mM MgCl.sub.2, 50 .mu.M valinomycin with or without 10 mM KCl for 10 minutes (total volume 1 mL). The enzyme reaction is initiated by adding ATP to a final concentration of 3 mM. After incubation for 15 min. at 37.degree. C., the reaction is stopped by adding equal volume of phosphate reagent and the Pi produced by the hydrolysis of ATP is determined by the method of Lin et al. (Lin T -I. & Morales, M. F. Anal. Biochem. 1977, 77:10). The H.sup.+ /K.sup.+ - ATPase activity is calculated by subtracting the basal activity (in absence of KCl) from the rate of hydrolysis of ATP in the presence of K.sup.+. The percent inhibition were determined for the test compounds.

B) Gastric acid antisecretory activity
The inhibitory effect on gastric acid secretion is determined in pylorus ligated rat model according to Shay et al. (Shay, M., Komarov, S. A., Fels, D., Merange, D., Gruenstein, H. & Siplet, H. Gastroenterology 1945, 5:43). Male wistar rats weighing about 150-200 g fasted for 24 h with ad libitum are used. Under ether anaesthesia the laparotomy is performed and pylorus portion of the stomach is isolated and ligated with surgical suture. The test drug/vehicle is administered intraduodenally and the abdominal incision is closed using Michael clips. After 2 h, the animals were sacrificed with excess ether anaesthesia and stomach is removed. The gastric contents are collected and centrifuged at 10,000 rpm for 10 min. The volume of the gastric juice is measured and acid concentration is estimated by titrating an aliquot of the gastric juice against 0.004N NaOH using phenolphthalein as the indicator. Total acid output is expressed as milliequivalents/L/kg/h and volume of gastric juice as mL/kg/h. The ED.sub.50 value for the test compound is calculated according to graphical method. Omeprazole is used as a standard compound.
The test compounds are compared at a dose of 10 mg/kg.
The IC.sub.50 value for the inhibition of H+/K+ ATPase of compound of example 57 which is a representative of the compounds of the present invention has been found to be 2.6 .mu.M and whereas the IC.sub.50 value for Omeprazole is 4.35.+-.0.56 .mu.M. In the in vivo experiment, the ED.sub.50 value of compound of Example 57 is found to 3.0.+-.0.2 mg/kg whereas the ED.sub.50 value for Omeprazole is 4.96.+-.0.5 mg/kg.
