Benzo-fused cycloalkane and oxa- and thia-, cycloalkane trans-1,2-diamine derivatives

FIELD OF THE INVENTION
The invention relates to benzo-fused cycloalkane compounds and their oxa- and thia- derivatives, processes for their preparation, pharmaceutical compositions containing them, and their use as analgesics and/or diuretics.
BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION
Studies of the binding properties of opioid drugs and peptides at specific sites in the brain and other organs have suggested the existence of several types of opioid receptors. In the central nervous system (CNS), good evidence has been demonstrated for at least three categories of opioid receptors: .mu. (mu), k (kappa) and .delta. (delta). Nalorphine, W. R. Martin, Pharmacol. Rev., 19, 463-521 (1967), and a series of benzomorphans, W. R. Martin, et al., J. Pharmacol. Exp. Ther., 197, 517-532 (1976), were reported to display unusual pharmacological properties dissimilar to morphine, yet blocked by selective opioid antagonists. The existence of multiple subtypes of opioid receptors is of considerable interest as it suggests the possibility of separating the desirable (analgesic and psychotherapeutic) and the undesirable (abuse potential) effects of opioids.
Indeed, compounds that are agonists for k receptor have shown strong analgesia without opioid side effects such as dependence liability, respiratory depression, and constipation. The prototype of such compounds is U-50,488, trans-3,4-dichloro-N-methyl-N-[2-(pyrrolidin-1-yl)cyclohexyl]benzeneacetamide, which is described in U.S. Pat. No. 4,115,435, and reported by P. F. VonVoigtlander, et al., J. Pharmacol Exp. Ther., 224, 7 (1983). This compound is stated to exhibit analgesic actions in a variety of assays, such as thermal, pressure and irritant, in mice and rats.
Spirocyclic analogs of U-50,488 are disclosed in U.S. Pat. Nos. 4,359,476, 4,360,531, and 4,438,130, as analgesic compounds having low physical dependence liability in humans. Examples of these derivatives are trans-3,4-dichloro-N-methyl-N-[7-(pyrrolidin-1-yl)-1,4-dioxaspiro[4.5]dec-6-yl]benzeneacetamide; trans-3,4-dichloro-N-methyl-N-[7-(pyrrolidin-1-yl)-1,4-dioxaspiro[4.5]dec-8-yl]benzeneacetamide; and (.+-.)-(5-a-7-a-,9.beta.)-3,4-dichloro-N-methyl-N-[7-(pyrrolidin-1-yl)1-oxaspiro[4.5]dec-8-yl]benzeneacetamide. Omega-(Hydroxy-, Ether and Ester)-Alkyl-2-Amino-Cycloalkyl and Cycloalkenyl Amides active as analgesics are disclosed in U.S. Pat. No. 4,632,935.
Substituted trans-1,2-diaminocyclohexylamine compounds such as trans-N-methyl-N-[2-(1-pyrrolidinyl)-cyclohexylbenzo[b]thiophene-4-acetamide are disclosed in U.S. Pat. No. 4,656,182. Napthaleneyloxy-1,2-diaminocyclohexyl amide compounds active as analgesics are disclosed in U.S. Pat. No. 4,663,343.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION
Methods for the synthesis of the compounds of the invention are illustrated in Schemes 1 and 2.
The starting compounds of Formula III and IX can be prepared either according to literature procedures or by modifications to these procedures which should be apparent to those familiar with the art of organic synthesis. A convenient way to prepare the starting olefin III is by reduction of the corresponding ketone (e.g., 1-tetralone) to the corresponding alcohol (e.g., 1-tetralol) followed by dehydration of the alcohol (e.g., to 1,2-dihydronaphthalene). Dehydration of the alcohol can be done by heating in the presence of acid (e.g., KHSO.sub.4), pyrolysis of the alcohol acetate, or often most conveniently by simply heating its solution in DMSO at 100.degree.-200.degree. C., the preferred temperature depending on the nature of R.sup.3, (A)n, B, C, and D. Some references that describe the preparation of olefins III or their precursor ketones or alcohols include: J. Chem. Soc., 4425 (1961); J. Chem. Soc. Chem. Commun., 453 (1984); Chem. Pharm. Bull., 25(4), 632 (1977); J. Chem. Soc., 3271 (1949); ibid, 1894 (1953); Chem. Pharm. Bull., 26, 394, 1511 (1978); J.

Soc., LX, 1163 (1983); J. Med. Chem., 15, 1306 (1972); U.S. Pat. No. 3,379,731 (1968); J. Orq. Chem., 37(1), 13 (1972). This list is intended to be illustrative, not comprehensive.
According to Scheme 1, a compound of Formula III can be converted into an epoxide of Formula IV by a peracid such as 3-chloroperbenzoic acid in a halogenated solvent such as methylene chloride at a temperature between 0.degree. and 25.degree. C. Alternatively, the epoxide of Formula IV can be prepared by converting a compound of Formula III into a bromohydrin of Formula V with N-bromosuccinimide in a water-organic solvent mixture such as aqueous dimethylsulfoxide at room temperature followed by treating the compound of Formula V with a strong base such as sodium hydroxide in a solvent such as aqueous dioxane at room temperature.
An epoxide of Formula IV, on treatment with an amine, R.sup.1 NHR.sup.2, preferably in the presence of a polar solvent such as ethanol or water at a temperature between 25.degree. and 80.degree. C., yields an amino alcohol of Formula VI. Alternatively, a compound of Formula VI can also be obtained directly from a bromohydrin V by creating with an amine, R.sup.1 NHR.sup.2 Route V.fwdarw.VI is sometimes preferred to route IV.fwdarw.VI when B, C, and D are electron-donating groups, such as OCH.sub.3. p An aminoalcohol of Formula VI is converted to a diamine of Formula VII by first reacting with methanesulfonyl chloride in a chlorinated solvent such as methylene chloride in the presence of a base such as triethylamine at a temperature between 0.degree. and 5.degree. C. Further treatment of the resulting sulfonate with an excess of an alcoholic solution of an amine, RNH.sub.2, such as methylamine, ethylamine, or n-propylamine, at a temperature between 70.degree. and 80.degree. C. yields a compound of Formula VII. Alternatively, an aminoalcohol of Formula VI can be treated with chlorosulfonic acid in a chlorinated solvent such as methylene chloride at a temperature between 0.degree. and 25.degree. C. to afford the sulfate salt of a compound of Formula VIII which on treatment with an amine RNH.sub.2 affords a diamine of Formula VII.
A diamine of Formula VII is converted to a compound of Formula (I) by conventional methods, e.g., treatment with a carboxylic acid (ArCH.sub.2 COOH) either as its acid chloride in the presence of triethylamine, or aqueous sodium bicarbonate, or as its acyl imidazole prepared by reacting the acid with carbonyl diimidazole, or with the acid itself in the presence of dicyclohexylcarbodiimide. ##STR8##
As shown in Scheme 2, the compounds of the invention can be prepared by converting a ketone of Formula IX to an oximino derivative of Formula X, using n-butyl nitrite and a strong base such as sodium methoxide, or sodium hydroxide, in a polar solvent such as ethanol at a temperature between 0.degree. and 5.degree. C. The oximino compound of Formula X is then reduced with hydrogen in the presence of a catalyst such as palladium on carbon in a polar solvent such as ethanol containing a stoichiometric amount of an inorganic acid such as hydrochloric acid to yield an amino ketone of Formula XI which can be further reduced to a trans-amino alcohol of Formula XV with a borohydride reducing agent such as sodium borohydride in a polar solvent such as aqueous ethanol at a temperature between 0.degree. and 25.degree. C. The amino alcohol can be converted into a compound of Formula XVI via N-alkylation reactions that have been described in the literature, e.g., J. March, "Advanced Organic Chemistry", Wiley Interscience, New York, N.Y.
Transformation of a compound of Formula XVI to a diamine of Formula VII can be achieved in the same manner as converting an amino alcohol of Formula VI into a diamine of Formula VII as shown in Scheme 1.
Alternatively, an amino ketone of Formula XI can be converted to an amide of Formula XII by employing N-acylation reactions known to one skilled in the art such as using an acid chloride. The resulting amide can be reduced to a cis-amino alcohol of Formula XIII with a reducing agent such as lithium aluminum hydride (LAH) in an inert solvent such as tetrahydrofuran at a temperature between 25.degree. and 80.degree. C. An N-alkylation reaction is employed to convert an amino alcohol of Formula XIII to a compound of Formula XIV which is then treated with methanesulfonyl chloride in a chlorinated solvent such as methylene chloride at a temperature between 0.degree. and 5.degree. C. followed by an alcoholic solution of amine RNH.sub.2 at a temperature between 75.degree. and 80.degree. C. to give a compound of Formula VII.
The diamines of Formula VII are converted to Formula (I) compounds of the invention by methods described in Scheme 1. ##STR9##
Schemes 1 and 2 leading to compounds of Formula (I) are equally applicable to the preparation of compounds of Formula (II). This analogous synthetic sequence is summarized in Scheme 3. Some of the intermediates in Scheme 3 may be accompanied by regioisomers. The undesirable isomers can be removed by conventional methods of separation, e.g., chromatography such as high pressure liquid chromatography (HPLC), thin layer chromatography (TLC), etc., distillation, or fractional crystallization. ##STR10##
Where several alternative routes are outlined in Scheme 1, 2, and 3, sometimes one synthetic route can be preferred over another, depending on the particular compounds involved. One skilled in the art of organic synthesis can choose the best route.
In Schemes 1, 2, and 3, intermediates and products are written to show what is intended to be the stereochemical relationships (e.g. cis and trans relationships). However, these structures in most cases are intended to represent d,1 (racemic) forms, and not absolute stereochemical configurations. This is not to imply, however, that enantiomarically pure (resolved) compounds are not sometimes the preferred Compounds of the invention.
Whereas the Schemes 1, 2, and 3 outline the most general routes to the compounds of the invention, it will be understood by one skilled in the art of organic synthesis that these schemes do not include every possible approach to preparing compounds of Formula (I) or Formula (II). For example, for some definitions of groups B, C, and D, it may be preferable to start the reaction sequence from a starting material (a compound of Formula III, IX, or XVII) where the B, C, or D groups are precursors to the eventually desired groups. Thus, B may be nitro or acetamido and later in the sequence it may be reduced to NH.sub.2 or NHC.sub.2 H.sub.5. The sequence may also start from compounds of Formula III, IX, or XVII where B, C, or D are methoxy and are to be demethylated later, e.g., at the end of the sequence, to the corresponding phenol. Often it is convenient to start with R.sup.3 being a carboxylic ester, e.g., a tertiary-butylcarboxylic ester, and then at the end of the synthesis, to hydrolyze and reduce the ester group to CH.sub.2 OH or CHO; or to hydrolyze and react the ester with an appropriate organometallic reagent such as methyl lithium to afford CORII Such ramifications of the basic schemes are common practice in analoging compounds of pharmaceutical interest.
Pharmaceutically acceptable acid addition salts of amines I or II can be prepared by reacting the free bases I or II with a stoichiometric amount of an appropriate acid such as hydrogen chloride, hydrogen bromide, hydrogen iodide, phosphoric acid, sulfuric acid, acetic acid, lactic acid, maleic acid, fumaric acid, succinic acid, citric acid, benzoic acid, salicylic acid, pamoic acid, methanesulfonic acid, naphthalenesulfonic acid, p-toluenesulfonic acid and the like. The reaction can be carried out in water or in an organic solvent, or a mixture of the two; but nonaqueous media like ether, ethyl acetate, ethanol, isopropanol, or acetonitrile are generally preferred. Optically resolved enantiomers usually are conveniently prepared from optically active acids such as (+) or (-) tartaric acid or dibenzoyltartaric acid, or citric acid, or the like. One enantiomer may be more active than the other.
Amine oxides of amines I or II can be prepared in the generally same manner as other amine oxides, for example, by reaction of the amines with hydrogen peroxide or peracetic acid in an aqueous medium, or by reaction with a peracid such as peracetic acid or mchloroperbenzoic acid in a nonaqueous medium such as methylene chloride. The amine oxides are separated from acidic reaction products by chromatography, e.g., on basic alumina, or by treatment with aqueous base such as sodium bicarbonate.

The invention can be further understood by the following examples in which parts and percentages are by weight unless otherwise indicated and all temperatures are in degrees centigrade. The compounds were analyzed by proton nmr, TLC, mass spectroscopy, and by elemental analysis (C,H,N).
EXAMPLE 1
trans-3,4-Dichloro-N-methyl-N-[2-(pyrrolidin-1-yl)-5-methoxy-1,2,3,4-tetrahydronaphth-1-yl]benzeneacetamide and its hydrochloride salt
Step 1: 5-Methoxy-1-tetralol
To a round bottom flask (1 liter) was added 5-methoxy-1-tetralone (100 g, 0.57 mole). Ethanol (400 ml) was added and the resultant suspension was stirred at room temperature. Sodium borohydride (17 g, 0.45 mole) was added in portions over a period of about 20 minutes. When the reaction mixture became warm (about 40.degree. C.), it was cooled briefly in an ice/-H.sub.2 O bath to bring the temperature to approximately room temperature. The resulting clear solution was stirred for 4-5 hours after the addition was completed, and then about 1/2 of the ethanol was evaporated under reduced pressure on a rotating evaporator. The remaining mixture was mixed with water (about 1.5 1) and extracted (3 times) with ethyl acetate. The ethyl acetate extracts were combined and washed with water (2 times), washed with saturated NaCl, dried over MgSO.sub.4, and evaporated, to give 5-methoxy-1-tetralol (about 100 g), m.p. 75.degree. -76.degree. ; TLC (2:1 EtOAc/hex) R.sub.f =0.6; 1 spot. IR showed no C=O peak.
Step 2: 8-Methoxy-1,2-dihydronaphthalene
The above product (about 100 g) in dimethylsulfoxide (DMSO, 350 ml) was heated in an oil bath at 170.degree. with stirring for 12 hours. The mixture was cooled to room temperature and poured into H.sub.2 O(3 1). The water/DMSO mixture was extracted with ether (3 times). The ether layers were combined and washed with water (2 times), washed with saturated NaCl (1 time), and dried over anhyd. K.sub.2 CO.sub.3. The ether was evaporated and the remaining liquid was distilled bulb to bulb to give 8-methoxy-1,2-dihydronaphthalene (about 80 g), b.p. about 117.degree.-123.degree./4.5-5 mm; TLC: R.sub.f =0.8 (1:1 ether/hexane).
Step 3: 1,2-Epoxy-5-methoxy-1,2,3,4-tetrahydro-naphthalene
A solution of the above product (80 g, 0.5 mole) in CH.sub.2 Cl.sub.2 (300 ml) was stirred in a 5 liter 3-neck round-bottom flask at 0.degree.-3.degree. (ice/salt bath). A solution of 3-chloroperoxybenzoic acid (97 g, 0.50 mole of 85% pure) in CH.sub.2 Cl.sub.2 (2l) was added dropwise with cooling over a 3 hour period (ca. 13 ml/min.) and then, with continued cooling, the mixture was stirred for 3 more hours at 0.degree. . To the cold reaction mixture was then added with stirring 10% Na.sub.2 CO.sub.3 aqueous solution (750 ml). The mixture was transferred to a separatory funnel, and the lower CH.sub.2 Cl.sub.2 layer was drawn off. The CH.sub.2 Cl.sub.2 layer was washed with 10% Na.sub.2 CO.sub.3 aqueous solution (2.times.75 ml) and once with water. The CH.sub.2 Cl.sub.2 solution was tested with moist starch/iodide test paper for the absence of peroxide. The solution was dried over MgSO.sub.4 and evaporated at 45.degree. to give 1,2-epoxy-5-methoxy-1,2,3,4-tetrahydronaphthalene (95 g).
Step 4: trans-1-(Pyrrolidin-1-yl)-2-hydroxy-5-methoxy1,2,3,4-tetrahydronaphthalene
To a flask containing the above epoxide (17.6 g, 0.1 mole) was added dropwise, with stirring over a period of about 10 minutes, pyrrolidine (10 ml, 0.12 mole) in ethanol (5 ml). The mixture was stirred at room temperature for about 18 hours and then warmed at 50.degree. for about 1 hour. On cooling, the solid was collected by filtration and recrystallized from absolute ethanol. The crystalline product, trans-1-(pyrrolidin-1-yl)-2-hydroxy-5-methoxy-1,2,3,4tetrahydronaphthalene, (14.5 g, .about.59% yield) was collected by filtration, washed with cold ethanol, and air dried, m.p. 113.degree.-115.degree. C.; TLC R.sub.f =0.33 (2:1 EtOAc/hexane).
Step 5: trans-1-(Pyrrolidin-1-yl)-2-hydroxy-5-methoxy-1,2,3,4-tetrahydronaphthalene-O-sulfonic acid
A solution of the above pyrrolidinyl alcohol (47 g, 0.19 mole) in CH.sub.2 Cl.sub.2 (250 ml) was stirred under N.sub.2 and cooled in an ice-salt bath while chlorosulfonic acid (12.7 ml, 22.2 g, 0.19 mole) in CH.sub.2 Cl.sub.2 (250 ml) was added dropwise. When addition was complete, the mixture was stirred at 0.degree.-5.degree. for 2 hours and then at room temperature overnight. The solid was collected by filtration and air dried, giving trans-1-(pyrrolidin-1-yl)-2-hydroxy-5-methoxy-1,2,3,4-tetrahydronaph-thalene-O-sulfonic acid (62 g, 100%), m.p. 213.degree.-215.degree. (dec.).
Step 6: trans-1-Methylamino-5-methoxy-2-(pyrrolidin1-yl)-1,2, 3,4-tetrahydronaphthalene
A Parr hydrogenation bottle was loaded with the above dry sulfonate salt (62 g, 0.19 mole) and 33% CH.sub.3 NH.sub.2 /EtOH (120 ml, 1 mole). The bottle was sealed with a rubber stopper held in place by a clamp and the contents were heated in an oil bath at 70.degree. for 20 hours with stirring. The mixture was cooled to room temperature and evaporated on a rotating evaporator to remove most of the ethanol. Ethyl acetate was added to the residual material followed by 5% NaOH aqueous solution (100 ml). The ethyl acetate layer was removed and the aqueous phase was extracted with ethyl acetate. The organic extracts were dried over K.sub.2 CO.sub.3. Evaporation of the solvent gave crude diamine free base, trans-1-methylamino-5-methoxy-2-(pyrrolidin-1-yl)-1,2,3,4-tetrahydronaphthalene (49 g).
This free base was dissolved in toluene and the solution was evaporated before the next step to remove traces of water or ethanol. This diamine can also be prepared by reacting trans-1-(pyrrolidin-1-yl)-2-hydroxy-5-methoxy-1,2,3,4-tetrahydronaphthalene with methanesulfonyl chloride in the presence of triethylamine followed by treatment of the methanesulfonate with methylamine using a procedure analogous to that used in Example 2, step 2.
Step 7: trans-3,4-Dichloro-N-methyl-N-[2-(pyrrolidin-1-yl)-5-methoxy-1,2,3,4-tetrahydronaphth-1-yl]benzene acetamide
To a solution of 3,4-dichlorophenylacetic acid (51.6 g, 0.25 mole) in dry tetrahydrofuran (THF) (300 ml) under N.sub.2 was added with stirring 1,1-carbonyldiimidazole (40.8 g, 0.25 mole). The reaction mixture was stirred for 2 hours at room temperature and then a solution of diamine from Step 6 (54.6 g, 0.21 mole) in dry THF (110 ml) was added dropwise. The mixture was stirred overnight at room temperature under N.sub.2. The solvent was then evaporated in vacuo. The residue was dissolved in ether (1l) and the solution washed with 5% NaOH aqueous solution (2.times.250 ml), then water, dried over MgSO.sub.4, and evaporated, giving trans-3,4-dichloro-N-methyl-N-[2-(pyrrolidin-1-yl)-5-methoxy1,2,3,4-tetrahydronaphth-1-yl]benzeneacetamide (89 g).
Step 8: trans-3,4-Dichloro-N-methyl-N-[2-(pyrrolidin-1-yl)-5-methoxy-1,2,3,4-tetrahydronaphth-1-yl]benzeneacetamide hydrochloride
The above crude amine amide (free base, 89 g), was dissolved in THF (400 ml) and this solution was added to ether (1 1) containing dissolved gaseous HCl to precipitate a gummy HCl salt. Ether (500 ml) was added to the mixture and the gum was triturated. The liquid was decanted and fresh ether (700 ml) was added to give a solid.

Analgesia Testing Procedure
The standard procedure for detecting and comparing the analgesic activity of compounds is the phenylquinone writhing test (PQW) modified from E. Seigmund et al.; Proc. Soc. Exp. Biol. Med., 95, 729 (1957).
Test compounds were dissolved in saline or distilled water using dilute lactic acid as needed, or suspended in an aqueous vehicle containing 2% by volume of Tween 80.RTM., a pharmacological dispersant manufactured by Fisher-Scientific Company and containing 100% polysorbate 80, and 0.25% by weight of Methocel.RTM. A15C powder, a suspending agent manufactured by Dow Chemical company and containing 100% methylcellulose. Test compounds were given orally or subcutaneously to fasted (17-21 hrs) male white mice (CF1), 5-15 animals per graded dose, in a volume of 10 ml/kg body weight. After 5-25 minutes, aqueous 0.01% phenyl-p-benzoquinone, 0.125 mg/kg, was injected intraperitoneally. After an additional 5 minutes, mice were observed 10 minutes for the characteristic stretching or writhing syndrome which is indicative of pain produced by phenylquinone. The effective analgesic dose in 50% of the mice (ED50) was calculated by the moving average method of W. R. Thompson, Bac. Rev., 11, 115-145 (1947).
The mouse analgesic data are summarized in Table III.

As shown in table III, compounds of the invention produce potent analgesic effects in warm-blooded animals. This analgesic is in the same range of potency as morphine and of the standard kappa agonist analgesic U-50,488H. [P. F. VonVoigtlander, et al.; J. Pharmacol. Exp. Ther., 224, 7 (1983)].
Strong sedation, occurring at .gtoreq.3x the analgesic ED50 dose, was an additional property observed with all compounds of the invention when tested in mice. This sedation is characteristic of kappa agonist compounds such as U-50,488H [P. F. VonVoigtlander, et al.; J. Pharmacol. Exp. Ther., 224, 7 (1983)]. Morphine and other mu agonist compounds do not produce sedation in mice. All compounds of the invention which produced analgesia in mice (Table III) also produced strong sedation within their analgesically-effective range of doses, suggesting that they have selective kappa agonist activity.
A standard procedure useful for confirming kappa receptor opioid activity is the production of diuresis in the rat. Known kappa agonists such as U-50,488H produce significant increases in urine flow [P. F. VonVoigtlander, et al.; J. Pharmacol. Exp. Ther., 224, 7 (1983)]. Mu agonist analgesics, such as morphine, are largely devoid of this property. Thus, kappa agonist induced urine formation is the basis of a test in rats for distinguishing kappa and mu agonist activity.
Testing for diuretic activity was conducted in male Sprague Dawley rats, weight approximately 200-300 g. Rats were not fasted prior to use, but no food or water was available for the duration of the study. Animals were allowed to acclimate for approximately 30 minutes in individual metabolism cages, then administered test compound doses subcutaneously in a volume of 1 ml/kg body weight. Spontaneously voided urine was collected for the next five hours. Test compounds were prepared in either distilled water (solutions) or Methocel.RTM./Tween 80.RTM. suspensions, according to the methods indicated above.
The rat diuretic data are summarized in Table IV.

As shown in Table IV, compounds of the invention produced large increases in urine flow similar to that observed with the standard kappa agonist analgesic U-50,488H. Mu agonist analgesics (morphine) produce minimal or no diuresis in rats. These data confirm that compounds of the invention are kappa agonist analgesics.
Dosage Forms
Dosage forms (compositions) suitable for administration contain from about 0.1 milligram to about 500 milligrams of active ingredient per unit. In these pharmaceutical compositions the active ingredient will ordinarily be present in an amount of about 0.5-95% by weight based on the total weight of the composition.
The active ingredient can be administered orally in solid dosage forms, such as capsules, tablets, and powders, or in liquid dosage forms, such as elixirs, syrups, and suspensions; it can also be administered parenterally in sterile liquid dosage forms.
Gelatin capsules contain the active ingredient and powdered carriers, such as lactose, sucrose, mannitol, starch, cellulose derivatives, magnesium stearate, stearic acid, and the like. Similar diluents can be used to make compressed tablets. Both tablets and capsules can be manufactured as sustained release products to provide for continuous release of medication over a period of hours. Compressed tablets can be sugar coated or film coated to mask any unpleasant taste and protect the tablet from the atmosphere, or entericcoated for selective disintegration in the gastrointestinal tract.
Liquid dosage forms for oral administration can contain coloring and flavoring to increase patient acceptance.
In general, water, a suitable oil, saline, aqueous dextrose (glucose), and related sugar solutions and glycols such as propylene glycol or polyethylene glycols are suitable carriers for parenteral solutions. . Solutions for parenteral administration preferably contain a water soluble salt of the active ingredient, suitable stabilizing agents, and if necessary, buffer substances. Antioxidizing agents such as sodium bisulfite, sodium sulfite, or ascorbic acid, either alone or combined, are suitable stabilizing agents. Also used are citric acid and its salts and sodium EDTA. In addition, parenteral solutions can contain preservatives, such as benzalkonium chloride, methyl- or propyl-paraben, and chlorobutanol.
Suitable pharmaceutical carriers are described in Remington's Pharmaceutical Sciences, A. Osol, a standard reference text in this field.
Useful pharmaceutical dosage forms for administration of the compounds of this invention can be illustrated as follows:
Capsules
A large number of unit capsules are prepared by filling standard two-piece hard gelatin capsules each with 100 milligrams of powdered active ingredient, 150 milligrams of lactose, 50 milligrams of cellulose, and 6 milligrams magnesium stearate.
Soft Gelatin Capsules
A mixture of active ingredient in a digestible oil such as soybean oil, cottonseed oil or olive oil is prepared and injected by means of a positive displacement pump into gelatin to form soft gelatin capsules containing 100 milligrams of the active ingredient. The capsules are washed and dried.
Tablets
A large number of tablets are prepared by conventional procedures so that the dosage unit is 1 milligrams of the active ingredient, 3 milligrams of magnesium stearate, 75 milligrams of microcrystalline cellulose, 10 milligrams of starch and 112 milligrams of lactose. Appropriate coatings may be applied to increase palatability or delay absorption.
Injectable Composition
A parenteral composition suitable for administration by injection is prepared by stirring 1.5% by weight of active ingredient in 10% by volume propylene glycol. The solution is made to volume with water for injection and sterilized.
Suspension
An aqueous suspension is prepared for oral administration so that each 5 milliliters contain 100 milligrams of finely divided active ingredient, 100 milligrams of sodium carboxymethyl cellulose, 5 milligrams of sodium benzoate, 1.0 grams of sorbitol solution, U.S.P., and 0.025 milliliters of vanillin.
The term "consisting essentially of" as used in the present disclosure is intended to have its customary meaning, namely, that all specified material and conditions are very important in practicing the invention but that unspecified materials and conditions are not excluded so long as they do not prevent the benefits of the invention from being realized.
