the invention relates to new derivatives of tricyclic aminoacids, of the formula I ##STR2## in which n denotes 0 or 1,
A denotes --CH.dbd.CH-- or --CH.sub.2 --CH.sub.2 --,
R denotes hydrogen, (C.sub.1 to C.sub.6)-alkyl or aralkyl with 7 to 9 carbon atoms,
R.sup.1 denotes hydrogen, or (C.sub.1 to C.sub.6)-alkyl, which can be optionally substituted by amino, (C.sub.1 to C.sub.4)-acylamino, in particular (C.sub.1 to C.sub.4)-alkanoyl amino, or benzoylamino, or (C.sub.2 to C.sub.6)-alkenyl, (C.sub.5 to C.sub.9)-cycloalkyl, (C.sub.5 to C.sub.9)-cycloalkenyl, (C.sub.5 to C.sub.7)-cycloalkyl-(C.sub.1 to C.sub.4)-alkyl, (C.sub.6 to C.sub.12)-aryl or partially hydrogenated (C.sub.6 to C.sub.12)-aryl, each of which can be substituted by (C.sub.1 to C.sub.4)-alkyl, (C.sub.1 or C.sub.2)-alkoxy or halogen, or (C.sub.6 to C.sub.12)-aryl-(C.sub.1 to C.sub.4)-alkyl or (C.sub.7 to C.sub.13)-aroyl-(C.sub.1 to C.sub.4)-alkyl, both of which can be substituted in the aryl radical as defined above, or a monocyclic or bicyclic heterocyclene radical with 5 to 7 or 8 to 10 ring atoms, 1 or 2 ring atoms of which are sulfur or oxygen atoms and/or 1 to 4 ring atoms of which are nitrogen atoms, or a side chain of a naturally occurring aminoacid, which may be protected,
R.sup.2 denotes hydrogen, (C.sub.1 to C.sub.6)-alkyl, (C.sub.2 to C.sub.6)-alkenyl or (C.sub.6 to C.sub.12)-aryl-(C.sub.1 to C.sub.4)-alkyl,
Y denotes hydrogen or hydroxyl and
Z denotes hydrogen, or
Y and Z together denote oxygen, and
X denotes (C.sub.1 to C.sub.6)-alkyl, (C.sub.2 to C.sub.6)-alkenyl, (C.sub.5 to C.sub.9)-cycloalkyl, (C.sub.6 to C.sub.12)-aryl, which can be mono-, di- or tri-substituted by C.sub.1 to C.sub.4)-alkyl, (C.sub.1 to C.sub.4)-alkoxy, hydroxyl, halogen, nitro, amino, (C.sub.1 to C.sub.4)-alkylamino, di(C.sub.1 to C.sub.4)-alkylamino and/or methylenedioxy, or 3-indolyl,
and physiologically acceptable salts thereof.
If R.sup.1 represents a side chain of a protected naturally occurring .alpha.-aminoacid, such as, for example, protected Ser, Thr, Asp, Asn, Glu, Arg, Lys, Hyl, Cys, Orn, Cit, Tyr, Trp, His or Hyp, preferred protective groups are the conventional groups of peptide chemistry (cf. Houben-Weyl, Volume XV/1 and XV/2). If R.sup.1 denotes the protected lysine side chain, the known amino-protective groups, especially (C.sub.1 -C.sub.6)-alkanoyl, are preferred. Preferred O-protective groups for tyrosine are methyl and ethyl.
Possible salts are, in particular, alkali metal and alkaline earth metal salts, salts with physiologically acceptable amines and salts with inorganic or organic acids, such as, for example, HCl, HBr, H.sub.2 SO.sub.4 maleic acid and fumaric acid.
Here and in the following text, aryl is to be understood as meaning preferably optionally substituted phenyl or naphthyl. This applies analogously to aroyl residues. Alkyl can be straight-chain or branched.
The configuration of the H atoms or C-2 and C-6 of the tricyclene is the cis configuration. There are also two other possible configurations of the H atoms on C-2 and C-6 of the tricyclic radical, i.e. the exo-position of the H atoms in respect of the bicyclic [2.2.1] part of the ring (radical Ia) and correspondingly the endo-position (radical Ib). ##STR3##
The carboxyl group on C-4 both in radical Ia and in radical Ib can be orientated in the trans-position (radicals Ic+If) or in the cis-position (radicals Id+Ie) relative to the hydrogen on C-2. This invention relates to all the abovementioned configuration isomers and the mirror image isomers of the formulae Ic to If. ##STR4##
Compounds of the formula I have chiral carbon atoms in positions C-1, C-2, C-4, C-6 and C-7 and at the carbon atoms labeled with an asterisk in the side chain. The invention relates both to the R-configurations and to the S-configurations at all the centers. The compounds of the formula I can therefore be in the form of optical isomers, diastereomers, racemates or mixtures thereof. However, preferred compounds of the formula I are those in which C-4 in the tricyclic ring system and the carbon atoms labeled with an asterisk (*) in the side chain have the S-configuration, with the exception of (--CO--*CHR.sup.1 --NH--).dbd.Cys, where the R-configuration is preferred.
Particularly preferred compounds of the formula I are those in which
n denotes 1,
A denotes CH.dbd.CH or CH.sub.2 --CH.sub.2,
R denotes hydrogen or alkyl with 1 to 4 carbon atoms,
R.sup.1 denotes hydrogen, (C.sub.1 to C.sub.3)-alkyl, (C.sub.2 or C.sub.3)-alkenyl, benzyl, 4-alkoxybenzyl, phenethyl, 4-amino-butyl or benzoylmethyl,
R.sup.2 denotes hydrogen, (C.sub.1 to C.sub.4)-alkyl or benzyl and
X denotes phenyl, which can be mono- or di-substituted by (C.sub.1 or C.sub.2)-alkyl, (C.sub.1 or C.sub.2)-alkoxy, hydroxyl, fluorine, chlorine, bromine, amino, (C.sub.1 to C.sub.4)-alkylamino, di-(C.sub.1 to C.sub.4)-alkylamino, nitro and/or methylenedioxy or trisubstituted by methoxy,
and in particular those compounds of the formula I in which n denotes 1, A denotes CH.sub.2 --CH.sub.2, R denotes hydrogen, R.sup.1 denotes methyl or the radical of an optionally protected naturally occurring aminoacid, X denotes phenyl, R.sup.2 denotes hydrogen or ethyl, the hydrogen atoms on C-2 and C-6 have the cis-configuration and the exo- or endo-configuration in respect of the bicyclic [2.2.1] skeleton, the carboxyl group on C-4 is orientated in the cis- or trans-position relative to the hydrogen on C-2, and the chiral carbon atoms labeled with an asterisk (*) and C-4 have the S-configuration.
Very particularly preferred compounds are endo-exo:

The invention furthermore relates to processes for the preparation of the compounds of the formula I. One process variant comprises reacting a compound of the formula II ##STR5## in which n, R.sup.1, R.sup.2, X, Y and Z have the meanings as in formula I, with a compound of the formula III ##STR6## in which A has the meaning as in formula I and
W denotes hydrogen or a radical which can be split off under acidic, basic or hydrogenolytic conditions, in particular a tert.-butyl or benzyl radical,
by known amide formation methods of peptide chemistry, and, where relevant, subsequently splitting off the radical W by treatment with an acid or base or hydrogenolysis, and, where relevant, also splitting off the radical R.sup.2 by additional treatment with acid or base, the free carboxylic acids in each case being obtained.
Further synthesis processes for the preparation of compounds of the formula I in which Y and Z together denote oxygen comprise reacting a compound of the formula IV ##STR7## in which R.sup.1 and A have the meaning as in formula I and W has the meaning as in formula III, with a compound of the formula V
R.sup.2 O.sub.2 C--CH.dbd.CH--CO--X (V)
in which R.sup.2 and X have the meanings as in formula I, in a Michael reaction in a known manner (Organikum, 6th edition, page 492, 1967), and, where relevant, splitting off the radical W and/or the radical R.sup.2 as described above, or reacting a compound of the abovementioned formula IV with a compound of the general formula VI, in which R.sup.2 has the meaning as in formula I, and with a compound of the general formula VII ##STR8## in which X has the meaning as in formula I, in a Mannich reaction in a known manner (Bull. Soc. Chim. France 1973, page 625), and, where relevant, subsequently splitting off the radical W and/or the radical R.sub.2 as described above to form free carboxyl groups.
Compounds of the formula I in which Y and Z each denote hydrogen can also be prepared by reacting a compound of the abovementioned formula IV with a compound of the formula VIII ##STR9## in which R.sup.2 and X have the meanings as in formula I, by the procedure described in J. Amer. Chem. Soc. 93, 2897 (1971), reducing the resulting Schiff's bases and, where relevant, subsequently splitting off the radical W and/or the radical R.sup.2 as described above to form the free carboxyl groups. The reduction of the Schiff's bases can be carried out catalytically, electrolytically or with reducing agents, such as, for example complex boranates, preferably sodium borohydride or sodium cyanoborohydride.
Compounds of the formula I in which Y denotes hydroxyl and Z denotes hydrogen can also be obtained, for example, by reduction of a compound I in which Y and Z together denote oxygen obtained by the above procedures. This reduction can be carried out catalytically with hydrogen or with another reducing agent, such as sodium borohydride and other complex boranates or, for example, borane-amine complexes.
Compounds of the formula I in which R represents hydrogen can, if desired, be converted into their esters of the formula I in which R denotes (C.sub.1 to C.sub.6)-alkyl or (C.sub.7 -C.sub.9)-aralkyl by methods which are known per se.
The invention also relates to compounds of the formula III in which the H atoms on C-2 and C-6 are in the cis-configuration relative to one another, the pyrrolidine ring is orientated in the endo- or exo-position relative to the bicyclic ring system, the group --CO.sub.2 W on C-4 is in the cis- or trans-position relative to the hydrogen on C-2, W denotes hydrogen or a radical which can be split off under acid, basic or hydrogenolytic conditions and A denotes a CH.dbd.CH or CH.sub.2 --CH.sub.2 group.
These compounds are used according to the invention as starting substances in the synthesis of compounds of the formula I, and can be prepared, according to the invention, by the following procedure:
In one synthesis variant, a compound of the formula IX or X ##STR10## in which the hydrogen atoms on C-2 and C-6 are in the cis-configuration relative to one another and the cyclopentanone ring is orientated either in the endo-position (formulae IX a and b) or in the exo-position (formulae X a and b) relative to the bicyclic ring system, is used as the starting substance.
The compounds of the formulae IX a and X a are known from R. R. Sauer, J. Org. Chem. 39, 1850 (1974), and the compounds of the formulae IX b and X b are described in J. Org. chem. 32, 3120 (1967).
The ketones IX and X are converted by known methods into the oximes or oxime derivatives of the formula XI ##STR11## in which the H atoms on C-2 and C-6 are in the cis-configuration relative to one another, the cyclopentane ring is orientated in the endo- or exo-position relative to the bicyclic ring system, A denotes a CH.dbd.CH or CH.sub.2 --CH.sub.2 group and R.sup.3 denotes hydrogen, alkyl, aryl, aralkyl, --SO.sub.3 H, arylsulfonyl or another group suitable for Beckmann rearrangement. R.sup.3 is preferably hydrogen, (C.sub.1 to C.sub.6)-alkyl, (C.sub.6 to C.sub.9)-aryl, (C.sub.7 to C.sub.10)-aralkyl, SO.sub.3 H, benzenesulfonyl or p-toluenesulfonyl. The compounds of the formula XI are converted into a compound of the formula XII ##STR12## in which the H atoms on C-2 and C-7 are in the cis-configuration relative to one another, the lactam ring is orientated in the endo- or exo-position relative to the bicyclic ring system and A has the abovementioned meaning, in a Beckmann rearrangement, cf. Organic Reactions 11 (1960) 1 -156, by reaction with a mineral acid, such as, for example, sulfuric acid or polyphosphoric acid, or, if R.sup.3 denotes H, with benzenesulfonyl chloride or p-toluenesulfonyl chloride and a base, such as triethylamine, or with an organic acid, such as, for example, formic acid. The regio-isomers which arise after the Beckmann rearrangement can easily be removed by recrystallization or by column chromatography over silica gel. The compounds of the formula XII are halogenated to give a compound of the formula XIII ##STR13## in which A has the abovementioned meaning and Hal denotes a halogen atom, preferably chlorine or bromine. Examples of suitable halogenating agents are inorganic acid halides, such as PCl.sub.5, SO.sub.2 Cl.sub.2, POCl.sub.3, SOCl.sub.2 and PBr.sub.3, and halogens, such as bromine. It is advantageous to use PCl.sub.5 or POCl.sub.3 in combination with SO.sub.2 Cl.sub.2. An imide halide is first formed as an intermediate, and then reacts further with the halogenating agents mentioned and by subsequent hydrolysis under basic conditions, preferably with aqueous alkali metal carbonate, to give a compound of the formula XIII.
The compounds of the formula XIII are subsequently catalytically reduced in a polar protic solvent, such as, for example, an alcohol, preferably ethanol, or a carboxylic acid, such as, for example, acetic acid, with addition of an acid acceptor, such as, for example, sodium acetate or triethylamine, to give a compound of the formula XIV ##STR14## in which A and Hal have the abovementioned meanings. Examples of suitable catalysts are Raney nickel and palladium- or platinum-on-animal charcoal.
If A denotes CH.dbd.CH, it is necessary to protect the C--C double bonds via a cyclopentadienyl-iron dicarbonyl complex of the formula XV. The iron complex is removed again with Na in acetone after the hydrogenation, as described in J. Amer. Chem. Soc. 97, 3254 (1975) K. M. Nicholas. ##STR15##
Compounds of the formula XIV can also be prepared directly by halogenation of the compounds of the formula XII using smaller amounts of the abovementioned halogenating agents.
Compounds of the formula XIV are converted into a compound of the formula III in which W denotes hydrogen by the known Favorskii reaction in the presence of a base, and, where relevant, the product is esterified. The abovementioned Favorskii reaction is carried out in an alcoholic solvent, such as methanol, ethanol or tert.-butanol, or in water or mixtures thereof at temperatures in the range from 20.degree. C. to 140.degree. C., preferably between 60.degree. C. and 100.degree. C. Alkali metal or alkaline earth metal hydroxides, such as sodium hydroxide, potassium hydroxide or barium hydroxide, or alkali metal alcoholates, such as, for example, sodium methylate or potassium tert.-butylate, are advantageously used as bases.
The compounds of the formula III in which W denotes hydrogen which are obtained by the Favorskii reaction are racemates, and can be obtained in the form of a diastereomer mixture. Thus, starting from the ketones of the formula IX, the aminoacids of the formulae IIIa and IIIb together with the mirror image isomers are obtained, and starting from the ketone of the formula X, the aminoacids of the formulae IIIc and IIId and the associated mirror image isomers are obtained, W denoting hydrogen and A having the above meaning. ##STR16##
The hydrogen atoms on C-2 and C-6 are in the cis-configuration relative to one another in all four compounds of the formulae IIIa-IIId; in compounds of the formulae IIIa and IIIb, the pyrrolidine ring is orientated in the endo-position relative to the bicyclic ring system and in the formulae IIIc and IIId, the pyrrolidine ring is orientated in the exo-position, the --CO.sub.2 W groups on C-4 in the compounds of the formulae IIIa and IIId are orientated in the cis-position relative to the hydrogen atom on C-2, and in the compounds of the formulae IIIb and IIIc these groups are correspondingly in the transposition. In the following reactions, the corresponding racemates or diastereomer mixtures can be used. The racemates can also first be separated into the optical antipodes by known methods of peptide chemistry, and the diastereomer mixtures can be separated into the diastereomers by fractional crystallization, or by column chromatography over silica gel as diastereomers or after formation of suitable derivatives.
If desired, the aminoacids can be esterified. The preferred tert.-butyl esters and benzyl esters of the aminoacids of the formula III (W denotes tert.-butyl or benzyl) are obtained by the conventional methods of peptide chemistry, such as, for example, in the case of the tert.-butyl ester, by reaction of the acids with isobutylene in an inert organic solvent (for example dioxane) in the presence of acids (such as, for example, sulfuric acid). If A denotes CH.dbd.CH, the following process has proved to be particularly advantageous: the corresponding aminoacid is acylated on the nitrogen with a group which can be split off under basic conditions, such as, for example, the methylsulfonylethoxycarbonyl group (=MSC), Tesser, Balvert-Geers, Int. J. Pept. Protein Res. 7, 295 (1975).
The carboxylic acid is reacted with tert.-butanol in the neutral to weakly basic pH range in an organic solvent, such as, for example, pyridine, in the presence of propylphosphonic acid anhydride to give the corresponding tert.-butyl ester. The tert.-butyl ester of the formula III (W denotes tert.-butyl) is obtained by splitting off the MSC protective group with an alkali in the strongly alkaline pH range in an aqueous solvent.
The benzyl esters of the formula II (W denotes benzyl) are obtained by the conventional method with benzyl alcohol and thionyl chloride.
The compounds of the formula II in which n denotes 1, Y and Z denote hydrogen, R.sup.1 denotes methyl, R.sup.2 denotes methyl or ethyl and X denotes phenyl which are used as starting substances for the preparation of compounds of the formula I are known (European Patent Application No. 37,231). The compounds of the formula II can be prepared by various procedures. In one synthesis variant, a ketone of the abovementioned formula VII is used as the starting substance, and is reacted with a compound of the abovementioned formula VI together with aminoacid esters of the formula XVI ##STR17## in which R.sup.1 has the abovementioned meaning and W' denotes a radical which can be eliminated by hydrogenolysis or under acidic conditions, in particular a benzyl or a tert.-butyl radical, by known procedures in a Mannich reaction to give a compound of the formula XVII in which R.sup.1, R.sup.2, X and W' have the abovementioned meanings, with the restriction that if W' denotes a radical which can be split off hydrogenolytically, in particular benzyl, R.sup.2 may not have the meaning of W'. If the radical W' is split off hydrogenolytically with the aid of, for example, palladium, compounds of the formula II in which Y and Z denote hydrogen are obtained with a hydrogen uptake of 3 molar equivalents. If the uptake of hydrogen is stopped at 1 molar equivalent, compounds of the formula II in which n denotes 1 and Y and Z together denote oxygen are obtained, these compounds also being obtained if the radical W' of the formula XVII is split off with acids, such as, for example, trifluoroacetic acid or hydrochloric acid, in an inert organic solvent, such as, for example, dioxane.
Compounds of the formula XVII are also accessible by Michael additions of a compound of the abovementioned formula V to a compound of the abovementioned formula XVI by known procedures. This process is preferably suitable for the preparation of those compounds of the formula XVII in which R.sup.1 denotes methyl, R.sup.2 denotes ethyl and X denotes aryl.
The compounds of the formula XVII are obtained as diastereomer mixtures. Preferred diastereomers of the formula XVII are those in which the chiral carbon atoms labeled with an asterisk each have the S-configuration. These can be separated off by, for example, crystallization or chromatography, for example on silica gel. The configurations of the chiral carbon atoms are retained during subsequent splitting off of the radical W'.
The compounds of the abovementioned formula IV used as starting substances for the preparation of the compounds of the formula I are obtained from the compounds of the abovementioned formula III by reaction with an N-protected 2-aminocarboxylic acid of the formula XVIII ##STR18## in which V denotes a protective group and R.sup.1 has the abovementioned meaning, by known procedures. Examples of suitable protective groups V which are split off again when the reaction has ended are tert.-butoxycarbonyl and benzyloxycarbonyl.
The reaction of a compound of the formula II with a compound of the formula III for the preparation of a compound of the formula I is carried out as a condensation reaction known in peptide chemistry, in which, for example, dicyclohexylcarbodiimide and 1-hydroxy-benzotriazole are added as condensing agents. Trifluoroacetic acid or hydrochloric acid is preferably used as the acid in the subsequent splitting off of the radical W under acid conditions. The benzyl group (W denotes benzyl) is preferably split off by hydrogenolysis on palladium-on-charcoal in alcohol.
The configurations of the intermediates on the bridge head C-2 and C-6 are in each case retained in the reactions described above for the preparation of the compounds of the formulae III, IV and I.
The compounds of the formula III obtained according to the procedure described above are obtained as a mixture and can be separated from one another by, for example, recrystallization or chromatography.
The compounds of the formula III are obtained as racemic mixtures, and can be used as such in the other syntheses described above. However, after separation of the racemates into the optical antipodes by conventional methods, for example by salt formation with optically active bases or acids, they can also be used as pure enantiomers. The pure enantiomers can also be obtained.
If the compounds of the formula I are obtained as racemates, these can also be split into their enantiomers by the conventionaal methods, such as, for example, by salt formation with optically active bases or acids, or they can be separated by chromatography.
The compounds of the formula I according to the invention are in the form of inner salts if R is hydrogen. As amphoteric compounds, they can form salts with acids or bases. These salts are prepared in a conventional manner by reaction with one equivalent of acid or base.
The compounds of the formula I and their salts have a long-lasting, intensive hypotensive action. They are powerful inhibitors of the angiotensin-converting enzyme (ACE inhibitors). They can be used for combating high blood pressure of various origins. It is also possible to combine them with other hypotensive, vasodilating or diuretic compounds. Typical representatives of these classes of active compounds are described in, for example, Erhardt-Ruschig, Arzneimittel (Drugs), 2nd edition, Weinheim 1972. They can be used intravenously, subcutaneously or perorally.
The dosage for oral administration is 1-100 mg, preferably 1-40 mg, per individual dose for adult patients of normal weight, which corresponds to about 0.013-1.3 mg/kg/day, preferably 0.013 to 0.53 mg/kg/day. In severe cases, it can also be increased, since no toxic properties have as yet been observed. It is also possible to reduce the dose, and this is especially appropriate if diuretics are simultaneously administered.
The compounds according to the invention can be administered orally or parenterally in an appropriate pharmaceutical formulation. For an oral use form, the active compounds are mixed with the conventional additives for this, such as excipients, stabilizers or inert diluents, and are brought into suitable administration forms, such as tablets, dragees, push-fit capsules, aqueous, alcoholic or oily suspensions or aqueous, alcoholic or oily solutions, by conventional methods. Examples of inert carriers which can be used are gum arabic, magnesium carbonate, potassium phosphate, lactose, glucose and starch, especially maize starch. The formulation can be carried out either with dry granules or moist granules. Examples of suitable oily excipients or solvents are vegetable and animal oils, such as sunflower oil and cod-liver oil.
For subcutaneous or intravenous administration, the active compounds or physiologically acceptable salts thereof are dissolved, suspended or emulsified, if desired with the substances conventional for this, such as solubilizing agents, emulsifiers or other auxiliaries. Examples of suitable solvents for the new active compounds and the corresponding physiologically acceptable salts are: water, physiological saline solutions or alcohols, for example ethanol, propanediol and glycerol, and in addition also sugar solutions, such as glucose solutions or mannitol solutions, or a mixture of the various solvents mentioned.

The examples which follow serve to illustrate the invention, without restricting it to the compounds mentioned as representatives.
Unless indicated otherwise, the .sup.1 H-NMR data given in the examples which follow were determined by measurement in CDCl.sub.3 and are given in .delta. (ppm).
