Benzo(1,8)naphthyridine derivatives as intermediates

The present invention relates to new benzo[b][1,8]-naphthyridine derivatives of general formula: ##STR2## and their preparation.
Naphthyridine derivatives of structure: ##STR3## in which X can be oxygen and two adjacent radicals of the radicals R.sub.1 to R.sub.5 can form a benzene ring, have been described in U.S. Pat. Nos. 4,229,456 and 4,133,885.
These products are used as gastric acid secretion inhibitors.
German patent application No. 3,302,126 describes hypotensive agents of general formula: ##STR4## in which the radicals X, Y and Z can be O or a NR.sub.4 radical or CR.sub.5 .dbd.CR.sub.5 radical in which the R.sub.5 s can form a benzene ring.
In the general formula (I):
R represents a hydrogen atom or an alkyl or fluoroalkyl radical, a cycloalkyl radical containing 3 to 6 carbon atoms, or an alkoxy, alkylamino or protected alkylamino radical,
Hal is a fluorine, chlorine or bromine atom if R' is a hydrogen atom, or
Hal and R' simultaneously represent a fluorine atom, and
Alk is an alkyl radical,
it being understood that the alkyl radicals are straight-chain or branched and contain 1 to 4 carbon atoms.
The benzo[b][1,8]naphthyridine ester derivative of general formula (I) can be prepared: either by the action of 3-amino-1,2,4-triazine (to obtain a product for which R is a hydrogen atom), or by the action of a product of general formula:
R.sub.2 --NH.sub.2 (II)
in which R is alkyl, fluoroalkyl, cycloalkyl, alkylamino or protected alkylamino, on a quinoline derivative of general formula: ##STR5## in which Alk and Hal are defined as above, followed by the action of an acid acceptor.
In general, the reaction of 3-amino-1,2,4-triazine or of the product of general formula (II) is carried out in an organic solvent such as an alcohol (ethanol or methanol for example) or a chlorinated solvent (trichloromethane for example) at a temperature of between 10.degree. and 25.degree. C.
The cyclization is carried out, in particular, in the presence of a nitrogenous base (for example triethylamine, or an excess of the amine employed) or of 1,8-diazabicyclo[5.4.0]undec-7-ene in a straight-chain or branched alcohol containing 1 to 4 carbon atoms, at a temperature of between 20.degree. C. and the reflux temperature of the reaction mixture.
The quinoline derivative of general formula (III) can be obtained from the keto-ester of general formula: ##STR6## in which Alk, Hal and R, are defined as above, by the action of a N,N-dimethylformamide acetal of general formula:
(CH.sub.3).sub.2 N--CH(OAlk.sub.1).sub.2 (V)
in which Alk.sub.1 is a straight-chain or branched alkyl radical containing 1 to 4 carbon atoms.
The reaction is generally carried out in an organic solvent such as an ester (ethyl acetate for example) at a temperature of between 60.degree. and 75.degree. C.
The keto-ester of general formula (IV) in which R' is a hydrogen atom can be obtained from 2,7-dichloro-6-fluoroquinoline-3-carboxylic acid or 2-chloro-6,7-difluoroquinoline-3-carboxylic acid as described below in Examples 1 and 8 or from 7-bromo-2-chloro-6-fluoroquinoline-3-carboxylic acid by analogy with this method. In this case, the 3-bromo-4-fluoroaniline used as starting material can be prepared by the method described by W. B. AUSTIN et al., J. Org. Chem., 46 (11), 2280 (1981).
The keto-ester of general formula (IV) in which R' is a fluorine atom can be obtained from 2-chloro-6,7,8-trifluoroquinoline-3-carboxylic acid as described below in Example 12.
The new products of general formula (I) are used as intermediates for the preparation of benzo[1,8]naphthyridine derivatives of general formula: ##STR7## in which: R.sub.1 represents a hydrogen atom or an alkyl or hydroxyalkyl radical,
R.sub.2 represents a hydrogen atom or an alkyl or fluoroalkyl radical, a cycloalkyl radical containing 3 to 6 carbon atoms, or an alkoxy or alkylamino radical,
R.sub.3 represents a hydrogen atom or an alkyl radical, and
R.sub.4 and R.sub.5 are different and represent a hydrogen atom or an alkyl radical, or
R.sub.3 is a hydrogen atom or an alkyl or cycloalkyl radical and
R.sub.4 and R.sub.5 are hydrogen atoms, and
R' is a hydrogen or fluorine atom,
the alkyl radicals being straight-chain or branched and containing 1 to 4 carbon atoms, as well as their salts and, where appropriate, their isomers, display a particularly valuable antibacterial activity.
The products of general formula (VI) can exist in the hydrated form and it is understood that these hydrates can also be obtained from products of general formula (I).
The benzonaphthyridine derivatives of general formula (VI) can be prepared from products of general formula (I) by working in the following manner.
An acid of general formula: ##STR8## in which R', R.sub.2 and Hal are defined as above, is prepared by any method known for obtaining an acid from an ester, without touching the remainder of the molecule.
The preparation of the acid from the ester generally takes place by acid hydrolysis. The reaction is advantageously carried out in an acetic acid/hydrochloric acid mixture, in sulphuric acid or in methanesulphonic acid at a temperature of between 60.degree. and 100.degree. C. It is also possible to carry out the preparation by saponification in the presence of potassium hydroxide or sodium hydroxide in an aqueous-alcoholic medium at a temperature of between 20.degree. and 80.degree. C.
When the radical R in the benzonaphthyridine derivative of general formula (I) is a protected alkylamino radical, the protective group can be removed either simultaneously with the hydrolysis of the ester (formyl for example) or separately before or after the hydrolysis.
A piperazine derivative of general formula: ##STR9## in which R.sub.1, R.sub.3, R.sub.4 and R.sub.5 are defined as above, is then reacted with the acid derived from benzo[b][1,8]naphthyridine, of general formula (VII), obtained above and then, if appropriate, if R.sub.1 is a hydrogen atom and if it is desired to obtain a benzo[b][1,8]naphthyridine derivative in which R.sub.1 is methyl, the product obtained is converted to a 8-(4-methyl-1-piperazinyl)-benzo[b]naphthyridine.
The action of the piperazine derivative of general formula (VIII) generally takes place in the presence of an excess of this derivative as an acid acceptor or in the presence of an organic or inorganic acid acceptor in suitable organic solvents. It is possible to carry out the reaction with or without solvents, at a temperature between 30.degree. and 120 C. When it is carried out in the presence of a solvent, the reaction advantageously takes place in solvents such as pyridine, dimethylformamide, dimethyl sulphoxide or acetonitrile.
It is understood that, in the case where the symbol R.sub.2 in the product of general formula (VII) is a hydrogen atom, it is preferable to protect this product beforehand. The protection and the removal of the protective radical after the reaction take place according to customary methods.
The protection can be effected by any group which is compatible and the use and removal of which do not alter the remainder of the molecule. In particular, the methods described by T. W. GREENE, Protective Groups in Organic Synthesis, A. Wiley-Interscience Publication (1981), or by McOMIE, Protective Groups in Organic Chemistry, Plenum Press (1973) are used.
By way of example, the protective groups can be chosen from the trimethylsilyl, trityl, benzhydryl, tetrahyropyrannyl, formyl, acetyl, chloroacetyl, trichloroacetyl, trifluoroacetyl, methoxycarbonyl, ethoxycarbonyl, t.-butoxycarbonyl, trichloroethoxycarbonyl, methoxymethyl and ethoxymethyl radicals.
Where appropriate, the subsequent operation for methylation of the piperazinyl radical advantageously takes place by the action of formaldehyde in the presence of formic acid. The reaction is generally carried out in an aqueous medium at a temperature of between 90.degree. and 100.degree. C.
The benzo[b][1,8]naphthyridine derivatives of general formula (VI) can also be obtained by preparing the corresponding ester of general formula: ##STR10## in which R, R', R.sub.1, R.sub.3, R.sub.4, R.sub.5 and Alk are defined as above, from the benzo[b]naphthyridine derivative of general formula (I) by substitution with a piperazine derivative of general formula (VIII).
The reaction is advantageously carried out under the conditions described above for obtaining a product of general formula (VI) from a piperazine derivative of general formula (VIII) and a benzo[b][1,8]naphthyridine derivative of general formula (VII).
The ester of general formula (IX) is then converted to an acid of general formula (VI) by any method known for obtaining an acid from an ester without touching the remainder of the molecule and then, where appropriate, the protective group is removed from the alkylamino radical R and/or, if a product of general formula (VI) in which R.sub.1 is a hydrogen atom has been obtained and if it is desired to obtain the corresponding product in which R.sub.1 is methyl, the product obtained is converted to a 8-(4-methyl-1-piperazinyl)-benzo[b]naphthyridine derivative.
In particular, the reaction is carried out under the conditions described above for obtaining an acid of general formula (VII) from an ester of general formula (I).
Where appropriate, the methylation of the piperazinyl radical is carried out as described above.
The new products according to the present invention and the products of general formula (VI) can, if necessary, be purified by physical methods such as crystallization or chromatography.
The products of general formula (VI) can be converted to metal salts or addition salts with nitrogenous bases by the methods known per se. These salts can be obtained by the action of a metal (for example alkali metal or alkaline earth metal)-containing base, ammonia or an amine on a product of general formula (VI) in an appropriate solvent, such as an alcohol, an ether or water, or by an exchange reaction with a salt of an organic acid. The salt formed precipitates, after concentration of its solution if necessary; it is separated off by filtration, decanting or lyophilization.
The products of general formula (VI) can also be converted to acid addition salts. The products of general formula (VI) obtained in the form of these salts can be liberated and converted to salts of other acids by customary methods.
The following may be mentioned as examples of pharmaceutically acceptable salts: the salts with the alkali metals (sodium, potassium, lithium) or with the alkaline earth metals (magnesium, calcium), the ammonium salt, the salts of nitrogenous bases (ethanolamine, diethanolamine, trimethylamine, triethylamine, methylamine, propylamine, diisopropylamine, N,N-dimethylethanolamine, benzylamine, dicyclohexylamine, N-benzyl-.beta.-phenethylamine, N,N'-dibenzylethylenediamine, diphenylenediamine, benzhydrylamine, quinine, choline, arginine, lysine, leucine, dibenzylamine) and the addition salts with inorganic acids (hydrochlorides, hydrobromides, sulphates, nitrates, phosphates) or organic acids (succinates, fumarates, maleates, p-toluenesulphonates).
The benzo[b][1,8]naphthyridine derivatives of general formula (VI) and their pharmaceutically acceptable salts have particularly valuable antibacterial properties. They display a remarkable in vitro and in vivo activity on Gram-positive germs and, in a general manner, on the germs responsible for the majority of the infections of the upper and lower air passages.
In vitro, they have been shown to be active at a concentration of between 0.12 and 50 .mu.g/cm.sup.3 on Staphylococcus aureus IP 8203.
In vivo, they have been shown to be active against experimental infections of mice with Staphylococcus aureus IP 8203 at doses of between 2 and 150 mg/kg administered orally or subcutaneously.
Another valuable characteristic of the products of general formula(VI)is their low toxicity. Their LD.sub.50 is generally greater than 500 mg/kg when administered subcutaneously to mice.
Products of general formula (I) of particular interest are those in which
R is a hydrogen atom, a straight-chain or branched alkyl radical containing 1 to 4 carbon atoms, or a fluoroethyl, cyclopropyl, methoxy or protected methylamino radical,
Hal is a fluorine or chlorine atom and
R' is a hydrogen atom, or
Hal and R' are simultaneously fluorine atoms and
Alk is an ethyl radical.
And amongst these products the following products are very particularly interesting:
8-chloro-3-ethoxycarbonyl-7-fluoro-1-methyl-4-oxo-1,4-dihdyro-benzo[b][1,8]naphthyridine;
3-ethoxycarbonyl-7,8-difluoro-1-methyl-4-oxo-1,4-dihydro-benzo[b][1,8]naphthyridine;
3-ethoxycarbonyl-7,8-difluoro-1-methoxy-4-oxo-1,4-dihydro-benzo[b][1,8]naphthyridine;
3-ethoxycarbonyl-1-cyclopropyl-7,8-difluoro-4-oxo-1,4-dihydro-benzo[b][1,8]naphthyridine;
