Benzylidene derivatives

FIELD OF THE INVENTION
The present invention relates to novel benzylidene derivatives which have anti-inflammatory activities.
BACKGROUND OF THE INVETION
Nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs such as lysozyme chloride and the like have been effective for the amelioration of initial symptoms and acute inflammations of rheumatism but ineffective for the improvement of progressed conditions of chronic rheumatism with bone destructions, or for the treatment of bone osteoarthritis and the like. Further, the conventional drugs might cause gastric ulcer because of their strong actions.
Recently, it has become apparent that leukotrienes (LT), especially LTB.sub.4 and the like, which are metabolic products in the metabolic pathway of arachidonic acid with 5-lipoxygenase, are important mediators of inflammatory reactions. It is also suggested that interleukin-1 (IL-1) being one type of cytokines is responsible for inflammation, greatly for chronic rheumatism in particular. Under the conditions above, it has been considered that the compounds which inhibit the production of both LTB.sub.4 and IL-1 are promising as antiinflammatory drugs. Such compounds are more useful than conventional nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs because they are expected to be effective on not only acute inflammations but also chronic inflammations such as chronic rheumatism and the like.
Various compounds useful as anti-inflammatory drugs have been disclosed in Japanese patent Publication (KOKAI) Nos. 79944/1983, 257962/1986, 42977/1987, 305028/1989, 4729/1990, 256645/1990, 270865/1990, Japanese patent WO 89/503782 and the like. To obtain compounds which are effective for the treatment of chronic inflammations with lower side-effects such as gastric disorders, it has been continuously demanded to develop compounds which can efficiently suppress the production of mediators of inflammations such as prostaglandin E.sub.2 (PGE.sub.2), LTB.sub.4, IL-1 and the like.
The present inventors have found that a certain kind of benzylidene derivatives remarkably inhibit the production of PGE.sub.2, as well as that of cytokines such as LTB.sub.4, IL-1 and the like, and have accomplished the present invention.

Jci-SD male rats (300-350 g weight) were injected intraperitoneally with Hanks' solution (10 ml) containing 0.1% bovine serum albumin (BSA) and 25 U/ml heparin. Ascites was collected and centrifuged for 5 minutes at 4.degree. C. at 1500 rpm. The cell fraction (precipitates) was suspended in Hanks' solution containing 0.1% BSA and the cell density was adjusted to 1.times.10.sup.6 cells/ml. The adjusted suspension (800 .mu.l; 8.times.10.sup.5 cells) was transferred to polypropylene tubes and incubated at 37.degree. C. for 10 minutes. After the addition of a solution (100 .mu.l) containing a various concentration of a drug to be tested, the tube was incubated for another 10 minutes, which was followed by the addition of Ca-ionophore A23187 (100 .mu.l; final concentration,1 .mu.M). The reaction was carried out for 15 minutes and then stopped by cooling with ice. The suspension was centrifuged at 4.degree. C. at 3000 rpm for 5 minutes to collect the supernatant, which was preserved at -80.degree. C. until measurement. The measurement of LTB.sub.4 was carried out by RIA using .sup.3 H-LTB.sub.4 after thawing the preserved sample. The results are shown in Table 1 below.
Experiment 3
Inhibitory Activity Against the Production of IL-1 under LPS Stimulation in THP-1 Cells
THP-1 cells were dispersed in RPMI1640. To each well of 24 well plate were added 800 .mu.l of the dispersion (5.times.10.sup.6 cells/ml),100 .mu.l of a solution containing various concentration of a drug to be tested and 100 .mu.l of LPS (final concentration,10 .mu.g/ml) and the reaction was started. The reaction mixture was allowed to stand for 24 hours at 37.degree. C. The supernatant were collected and centrifuged at 3000 rpm for 10 minutes. The measurement of IL-1 in the supernatant was conducted by RIA using .sup.125 I-IL-1.beta.. The results are shown in Table 1 below.

Experiment 4
Suppressive Activity Against Carrageenin-induced Edema in Rats
The experiment was carried out in accordance with the Winter's method (Winter, C.A. et. al., Proc. Soc. Exp. Biol. Med., vol.111: 54 (1962)) with a modification. Namely, LEW/Crj male rats (6 weeks of age,140-170 g weight) which had been fasted for 24 hours were divided into groups each consisting of 7 to 8 rats. One hour after the administration of a drug, each animal was injected subcutaneously with 0.1 ml of 1%.lambda.-carrageenin (PICININ-A, Zushikagaku) solution at plantar of right hind leg to cause edema. The volume of the right hind leg was measured with a volume measuring instrument by the water displacement method before the injection and every 1 hour for 5 hours after the injection. The effect of a drug was evaluated by calculating the edema suppression rate in drug-administered group relative to vehicle-administrated group according to the Dunnett-t test. The anti-edema effect of a drug was expressed as ED.sub.50 (mg/kg) which was obtained by regression analysis on the basis of the suppression rate at 3 or 4 hours after carrageenin administration. The results are shown in Table 2 below.
Experiment 5
Inhibitory Effect of Lesion Formation of Gastric Mucosa in Rats
LEW/Crj male rats (6 weeks of age,140-160 g weight) were divided in groups of 6 rats on the basis of dose of a drug to be tested. A drug was administered to animals which had been fasted for 24 hours prior to the test and, six hours later, animals were anesthetized with ether and killed by exsanguination. The gaster was extracted and physiological saline (about 6 ml) was included in it. Subsequently, the gaster was dipped in 15% formalin solution for about 15 minutes and cut out along its greater curvature. The state of the disorder of the gaster was observed with a stereoscopic microscope, and the number of rats showing the gaster disorder and the length of bleeding plaques were determined. The extent of disorder was expressed by Lesion Index (mm) which is a cumulative value of length of bleeding plaques of each group of drug-administrated groups. The strength of the effect of drugs was expressed as UD.sub.50 (mg/kg) calculated by Probit method on the basis of the number of cases showing disorder in a group to which a given dose of a drug was administered. Results are shown in Table 2 below.
