Benzopyran derivatives

FIELD OF THE INVENTION
This invention relates to a novel benzopyran derivative useful as pharmaceuticals.
BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION
Benzopyran derivatives having various pharmacological activities have hitherto been known. For example, various benzopyran derivatives in which the carbon atom at the 4-position of the benzopyran ring is directly bonded to a nitrogen atom are disclosed in Japanese Patent Application Laid-Open Nos. 60-97974, 61-47416, 63-165317, 63-196581, 63-201182, 63-303977, 64-26578, 64-38087, and 2-129184, and Journal of Medical Chemistry, Vol. 33, No. 6, pp. 1529-1541 (1990). The literatures report that these compounds possess antihypertensive activity and are useful for the treatment of heart diseases.
Of the benzopyran derivatives disclosed, Cromakalim having formula: ##STR2## has recently attracted attention as a new type of hypotensires which acts on the K.sup.+ channel, similar to Nicorandil and Pinacidil.
Benzopyran derivatives in which the 4-carbon atom on the benzopyran ring is not bonded directly to a nitrogen atom are disclosed in Japanese Patent Application Laid-Open Nos. 63-303977 and 64-38087, Journal of Heterocyclic Chemistry, Vol. 11, No. 5, pp. 797-802 (1974), and Journal of Medical Chemistry, Vol. 33, No. 6, pp. 1529-1541 (1990).
Further, WO 90/14346 (published on Nov. 29, 1990, after the priority date of the present invention) discloses compounds having an amido group or a thioamido group at the position of the benzopyran ring thereof.
DISCLOSURE OF THE INVENTION

As a result, they have found that un-reported, novel benzopyran derivatives described below possess the above-mentioned pharmacological activities and thus completed the present invention based on this finding.

To a mixture of 23.2 g of 3-hydroxy-2,2-dimethyl-6-nitro-2H-1-benzopyran-4-carboxamide, 16.6 g of sodium cyanoborohydride, and 200 ml of tetrahydrofuran was added 100 ml of acetic acid with stirring and ice-cooling, followed by stirring for 3 hours under ice-cooling and then at room temperature for 18 hours. To the reaction mixture were further added 5.6 g of sodium cyanoborohydride and 50 ml of methanol, followed by stirring at room temperature for 40 hours. The reaction mixture was distilled under reduced pressure, water was added to the residue, and the mixture was extracted with a mixed solvent of ethyl acetate and diethyl ether. The organic layer was washed with water and dried, and the solvent was removed by distillation to recover 24 g of 3,4-dihydro-3-hydroxy-2,2-dimethyl-6-nitro-2H-1-benzopyran-4-carboxamide. To the resulting compound were added 51.5 g of p-toluenesulfonyl chloride and 400 ml of pyridine, followed by refluxing for 3 hours. The solvent was removed from the reaction mixture by distillation. Ice-water was added to the residue, and the mixture was made acidic with hydrochloric acid. The thus precipitated crystal was collected by filtration, washed with water, and dried. The crystal was further purified by silica gel column chromatography (developing solution: CH.sub.2 Cl.sub.2 :hexane=7:3) to give 17.9 g of 4-cyano-2,2-dimethyl-6-nitro-2H-1-benzopyran represented by formula shown below.

Excellent activities of the compounds of the present invention on the K.sup.+ channel will now be demonstrated below by way of Test Examples.
TEST EXAMPLE 1
Test with Excised Aorta of Rat
The thoracic aorta was excised from a male Sprague Dawley rat (450 to 600 g) and cut into 2 mm wide ring preparations. Each preparation was suspended in 10 ml of an organ bath containing a Krebs-Henseleit solution (NaCl:119; KCl:4.8; CaCl.sub.2 .multidot.2H.sub.2 O: 2.53; KH.sub.2 PO.sub.4 :1.2; MgSO.sub.4 .multidot.7H.sub.2 O: 1.2; NaHCO.sub.3 : 24.8; glucose: 10 (mM); 37.degree. C.) under a tension of 2 g, and a mixed gas of 95% O.sub.2 and 5% CO.sub.2 was bubbled therethrough. Isometric contractions of the preparation were recorded by means of an FD pick-up. After equilibrium was reached in 1 to 1.5 hours, 30 mM KCl was added to cause a tissue contraction. The activity of a test compound to relax a lasting contraction following the KCl addition was evaluated by obtaining a 50% inhibitory concentration (IC.sub.50).
The compounds of the present invention obtained in the foregoing Examples and, for comparison, Cromakalim were used as test compounds. The results obtained are shown in Table 3 below.
TEST EXAMPLE 2
Test with Guinea Pig Tracheal Muscle
The trachea was excised from a male Hartley guinea pig (450 to 550 g) to make chain preparations. The preparation was suspended in a bath containing the same Krebs-Henseleit solution as used in Test Example 1 (37.degree. C.) through which a mixed gas of 95% O.sub.2 and 5% CO.sub.2 was bubbled. Isometric contractions of the preparation were recorded under a tension of 1 g. The relaxing activity of 1 mM aminophylline on spontaneous tension being taken as 100%, a concentration of a test compound exhibiting 50% relaxing activity (IC.sub.50) was obtained.
The same test compounds as used in Test Example 1 were used. The results obtained are shown in Table 3.

TEST EXAMPLE 3
Study on Antiasthmatic Activity
A mid-line incision was made in the neck of a male Hartley guinea pig (600 to 800 g, CRJ) under anesthesia with pentobarbitar (40 mg/kg, i.p.). The trachea, the left carotid vein, and the left carotid artery were exposed, and a cannula was inserted into each of them. The inner pressure of the respiratory tract was measured while applying artificial respiration through the tracheal cannula. The blood pressure was measured through the arterial cannula, and the heart rate was determined from the pulse. Pentobarbital for anesthesia maintenance was continuously administered through the venous cannula. A mid-line incision was made on the abdomen to expose the duodenum, and a cannula for intraduodenal administration was inserted thereinto. After the postoperative convalescence of 30 to 60 minutes, histamine (5 to 10 .mu.g/kg) was intravenously administered every 10 minutes. After it was confirmed that a respiratory tract inner pressure rise reaction was stably obtained, a test compound in the form of a 0.3% CMC suspension was intraduodenally administered. The histamine dose was so selected that the respiratory tract inner pressure might rise to 20 to 40 cmH.sub.2 O after every lntravenous administration. After administration of the test compound, intravenous administration of histamine at 10 minutes intervals was continued. The histamine-induced increase in respiratory tract inner pressure after the administration of the test compound was compared with that before the administration.
The activity of the test compound, expressed in terms of dose level required for 50% inhibition of the histamine-induced increase in respiratory tract inner pressure (ED.sub.50, mg/kg), is shown in Table 4 below.

UTILITY OF THE INVENTION IN INDUSTRY
The novel compounds of the present invention have excellent K.sup.+ channel activating activity and are therefore expected to make great contribution to the art, such as medical compositions utilizing K.sup.+ channel activation (e.g., anti-asthmatics).
