The compounds of the present invention differ from the hereinabove-cited compounds by the substitution of the piperidine-ring or by the substitution of the [[bis(aryl)methylene]-1-piperidinyl]alkane moiety with a bicyclic pyrimidinone radical and by their useful serotonine-antagonistic properties making those compounds attractive in the treatment of diseases wherein serotonine has a non-neglectible influence such as, for example, in the treatment of psychosomatic disorders.
DESCRIPTION OF THE PREFERRED EMBODIMENTS
The present invention is concerned with a novel series of (1-piperidinylalkyl)pyrimidinone derivatives which are structurally represented by the formula ##STR1## the possible stereochemically isomeric forms and the pharmaceutically acceptable acid-addition salts thereof, wherein:
R is hydrogen, hydroxy or lower alkyloxy;
R.sup.1 is a member selected from the group consisting of hydrogen and lower alkyl;
Alk is a lower alkanediyl radical;
X is a member selected from the group consisting of --S--, --CH.sub.2 -- and --C(R.sup.2).dbd.C(R.sup.3)--, said R.sup.2 and R.sup.3 being each independently hydrogen or lower alkyl;
A is a bivalent radical having the formula --CH.sub.2 --CH.sub.2 --, --CH.sub.2 --CH.sub.2 --CH.sub.2 -- or ##STR2## wherein R.sup.4 and R.sup.5 are each independently selected from the group consisting of hydrogen, halo, amino and lower alkyl; and
Ar.sup.1 and Ar.sup.2 are each independently selected from the group consisting of pyridinyl, thienyl and phenyl, being optionally substituted with halo, hydroxy, lower alkyloxy, lower alkyl and trifluoromethyl.
In the foregoing definitions the term halo is generic to fluoro, chloro, bromo and iodo; "lower alkyl" is meant to include straight and branched saturated hydrocarbon radicals, having from 1 to 6 carbon atoms, such as, for example, methyl, ethyl, 1-methylethyl, 1,1-dimethylethyl, propyl, butyl, pentyl, hexyl and the like; and "lower alkanediyl" is meant to include bivalent straight or branch chained alkanediyl radicals having from 1 to 6 carbon atoms.
Preferred compounds within the scope of the present invention are those wherein Alk is an 1,2-ethanediyl radical.
The most preferred compounds within the scope of the present invention is 6-[2-[4-[bis(4-fluorophenyl)methylene]-1-piperidinyl]ethyl]-7-methyl-5H-thiazolo[3,2-a]pyrimidin-5-one or a pharmaceutically acceptable acid addition salt thereof.
The compounds of formula (I) can generally be prepared by reacting an appropriate reactive ester of formula (II) with an appropriately substituted piperidine of formula (III). In the reactive ester (II) A, X, R.sup.1 and Alk are as previously described and W represents a reactive leaving group such as, for example, halo, particularly, chloro, bromo and iodo, or a sulfonyloxy group, e.g., methylsulfonyloxy, 4-methylphenylsulfonyloxy and the like.
In the piperidine (III) R, Ar.sup.1 and Ar.sup.2 are as previously described. ##STR3##
The foregoing reaction may be carried out following standard N-alkylating procedures. Said reaction is preferably carried out in an appropriate reaction-inert solvent such as, for example, a lower alkanol, e.g., methanol, ethanol, propanol, butanol and the like alkanols; an aromatic hydrocarbon, e.g., benzene, methylbenzene, dimethylbenzene, and the like; an ether, e.g., 1,4-dioxane, 1,1'-oxybispropane and the like; a ketone, e.g., 4-methyl-2-pentanone; N,N-dimethylformamide; nitrobenzene; and the like. The addition of an appropriate base such as, for example, an alkali or earth alkaline metal carbonate or hydrogen carbonate, may be utilized to pick up the acid which is liberated during the course of the reaction. A small amount of an appropriate metal iodide, e.g., sodium or potassium iodide may be added as a reaction promotor. Somewhat elevated temperatures are appropriate to enhance the rate of the reaction and preferably the reaction is carried out at the reflux temperature of the reaction mixture.
The compounds of formula (I) can also be prepared following art-known cyclizing procedures for preparing pyrimidin-4-ones such as, for example, by reacting an amine of formula (IV) with a cyclizing agent of formula (V) or by cyclizing a reagent of formula (VI) with an amine of formula (VII). ##STR4## In the formulas (IV), (V), (VI) and (VII) A, X, R, R.sup.1, Alk, Ar.sup.1 and Ar.sup.2 are as previously described and L and L.sup.1 represent each independently an appropriate leaving group such as, for example, lower alkyloxy, hydroxy, halo, amino, mono- and di(lower alkyl)amino and the like.
Additionally, the compounds of formula (I) can also be prepared by cyclizing an intermediate of formula (VII) with an isothiocyanate of formula (VIII). ##STR5##
The foregoing cyclization reaction may be carried out following the same procedures as described for the preparation of (I) starting from (IV) and (V).
The compounds of formula (I) wherein X is S, said compounds being represented by the formula (I-a), can also be prepared by cyclizing a 2-mercaptopyrimidinone of formula (IX) with a reagent of formula (X). ##STR6##
In (X) W' has the same meaning as previously described for W.
The compounds of formula (I-a) wherein A is ##STR7## said compounds being represented by the formula (I-a-1), can also be prepared by cyclizing a 2-mercaptopyrimidinone of formula (XI) with a reagent of formula (XI). ##STR8##
The cyclization reaction wherein the compounds of formula (I) are prepared starting from (IV) and (V), (VI) and (VII), (VIII) and (VII), (X) and (IX) or (XI) and (IX) may generally be carried out by stirring the reactants together, if desired, in the presence of a suitable reaction-inert solvent such as, for example, an aliphatic-, alicyclic- or aromatic hydrocarbon, e.g., hexane, cyclohexane, benzene and the like; pyridine; N,N-dimethylformamide and the like amides. Elevated temperatures may be appropriate to enhance the reaction-rate. In some cases it may be preferable to carry out the reaction at the reflux temperature of the reaction mixture.
The compounds of formula (I) may also be converted into each other following art-known functional group-transformation procedures.
For example the compounds of formula (I) wherein Ar.sup.1 and/or Ar.sup.2 is/are phenyl substituted by hydroxy can be converted into the corresponding compounds of formula (I) wherein Ar.sup.1 and/or Ar.sup.2 is/are phenyl substituted by lower alkyloxy following art-known O-alkylating procedures.
For example, compounds of formula (I) wherein Ar.sup.1 is phenyl substituted by hydroxy, said compounds being represented by the formula (I-b), can be converted into compounds of formula (I) wherein Ar.sup.1 is phenyl substituted by lower alkyloxy, said compounds being represented by the formula (I-c), by reacting the former with an appropriate lower alkylhalide (XII). ##STR9##
Said O-alkylation reaction can conveniently be conducted in a suitable solvent in the presence of an appropriate base, e.g., sodium hydride and the like.
The compounds of formula (I) have basic properties and, consequently, they may be converted to their therapeutically active non-toxic acid addition salt forms by treatment with appropriate acids, such as, for example, inorganic acids, such as hydrohalic acid, e.g. hydrochloric, hydrobromic and the like, and sulfuric acid, nitric acid, phosphoric acid and the like; or organic acids, such as, for example, acetic, propanoic, hydroxyacetic, 2-hydroxypropanoic, 2-oxopropanoic, propanedioic, butanedioic, (Z)-2-butenedioic, (E)-2-butenedioic, 2-hydroxybutanedioic, 2,3-dihydroxybutanedioic, 2-hydroxy-1,2,3-propanetricarboxylic, methanesulfonic, ethanesulfonic, benzenesulfonic, 4-methylbenzenesulfonic, cyclohexanesulfamic, 2-hydroxybenzoic, 4-amino-2-hydroxybenzoic and the like acids. Conversely the salt form can be converted by treatment with alkali into the free base form.
It is obvious from formula (I) that the compounds of the present invention wherein Alk represents an asymmetrically branched lower alkanediyl radical may exist under different stereochemically isomeric forms. This chiral center may be present in a R- and a S-configuration, this R- and S-notation being in correspondence with the rules described in R. S. Cahn, C. Ingold and V. Prelog in Angew. Chem. Int. Ed. Engl., 5, 385, 511 (1966). Consequently, the compounds of formula (I) may be present in two different enantiomeric forms, which may be separated from each other, for example, by converting the mixture of enantiomers into the acid addition salt form thereof with an optically active acid, separating the diastereomeric salts, e.g., by selective crystallization, and liberating the pure enantiomers by treatment with alkali.
Pure stereochemically isomeric forms may also be derived from the corresponding pure stereochemically isomeric forms of the appropriate starting materials, provided that the reaction occurs stereospecifically or highly stereoselectively.
Stereochemically isomeric forms of the compounds of formula (I) are naturally intended to be embraced within the scope of the invention.
A number of the intermediates and starting materials used in the foregoing preparations are known compounds, others may be prepared according to art-known methodologies of preparing similar compounds and for some of them synthetic methods are presented hereinafter.
The intermediates of formula (II) can be prepared by converting the hydroxyl function of the corresponding alcohols (XIII) into a reactive leaving group, e.g., by reacting the alcohols (XIII) with thionyl chloride, sulfuryl chloride, phosphor pentabromide, phosphoryl chloride, methanesulfonyl chloride, 4-methylbenzenesulfonyl chloride and the like. ##STR10##
The alcohols (XIII), used as starting materials herein, may be prepared following cyclization procedures which are analogous to those described hereinabove for the preparation of compounds of the formula (I). Said cyclization reactions starting from (IV) and (XIV), from (VI) and (XV) and from (VIII) and (XV) are represented in Scheme 1. ##STR11##
As used in Scheme 1 R.sup.6 may be hydrogen and L.sup.2 may have the same meaning as described hereinabove for L and, additionally, R.sup.6 and L.sup.2, when taken together, may represent a direct bond.
The alcohols (XIII) wherein X is S, (XIII-a), may be prepared by the cyclization reaction of (X) with (XVI) following the same procedure as described hereinabove for the preparation of (I-a) starting from (X) and (IX). ##STR12##
The alcohols (XIII-a) wherein A is ##STR13## (XIII-a-1), can be prepared by the cyclization reaction of (XI) with (XVI) following the same procedure as described hereinabove for the preparation of (I-a-1) starting from (XI) and (IX). ##STR14##
In some cases it may be advantageous to conduct the cyclization reaction and the reactive ester formation reaction simultaneously.
The intermediates of formula (II) wherein W is halo, said intermediates being represented by the formula ##STR15## can also be derived from (IV) and (XV), or (VI) and (XV), or (VIII) and (XV), or (X) and (XIV) in a direct way, by stirring and, if desired, heating the reactants in a suitable solvent in the presence of a suitable halogenating agent, e.g., phosphoryl chloride, thionyl chloride, phosphorpentabromide and the like. Optionally, said cyclizing and halogenating reaction can be carried out in acidic medium, e.g., in the presence of hydrogen chloride, 4-methylphenylsulfonic acid and the like acids.
The intermediates of formula (V), (VII), (XIV) and (XV) can be derived from a compound having the formula (XVII), as shown in Scheme 2. ##STR16##
The intermediates of formula (V) can be prepared by stirring and, if desired, heating (XVII) with (XIX) in the presence of a strong base, e.g., sodium hydride, sodium methoxide and the like in a suitable solvent. The intermediates of formula (V) can also be prepared by reacting (XVII) with a reagent of formula W--Alk--W, as described for the reaction of (XVII) with (XIX) and, subsequently, reacting the thus obtained (XVIII) with (III) following art-known N-alkylating procedures.
The intermediates of formula (XVIII) may also be prepared by reacting (XVII) with a reagent of formula W--Alk--OR.sup.6, as described for the reaction of (XVII) with (XIX) and, subsequently, converting the hydroxyl function in the thus obtained (XIV) into a reactive leaving group, as described hereinabove. The intermediates of formula (XV) and the intermediates of formula (VII) can be derived from (XIV) respectively (V) by converting the carbonyl function into an imine function, which imine is in equilibrium with its tautomeric form.
The intermediates of formula (III) may be prepared by reacting a piperidine (XX) with a ketone (XXI) following art-known Grignard-reaction procedures, subsequently dehydrating the thus prepared tertiary alcohol (XXII) and eliminating the protective group P from the thus obtained unsaturated intermediate (XXIII). ##STR17##
The compounds of formula (I), the possible stereochemically isomeric forms and the pharmaceutically acceptable acid addition salts thereof combine a potent serotonin antagonistic activity with a high degree of specificity for the serotonin receptors in comparison with other receptors such as, for example, dopamine-, norepinephrine- and acetylcholine receptors. Additionaly, the said compounds are binding selectively with the S.sub.2 -receptor, this S.sub.2 -notation being in correspondence with the terminology used in, for example, Molecular Pharmacology 21, 301-314 (1982).
Moreover, the compounds of the present invention are characterized by their long duration of activity.
The S.sub.2 -antagonistic activity of the compounds of formula (I) their possible stereochemically isomeric forms and their pharmaceutically acceptable acid addition salts is evidenced by the experimental data obtained in the caudal actery test.
ANTAGONISTIC ACTIVITY ON THE EFFECT OF SEROTONIN ON THE CAUDAL ARTERY OF THE RAT
Caudal arteries from fasted male rats (210-235 g) were used in the test. Two helical strips having a length of 5-6 cm and a width of 2 mm. were obtained from each artery and mounted vertically in a 100 ml organ bath containing an oxygenated Krebs-Henseleit solution. Submaximal contractions of the arterial strips were produced by adding single doses of serotonin (40 ng/ml) to the organ bath for 2 minutes with each time an interval of 10 minutes. The amplitude of the contraction was measured before and 5 minutes after adding the drug. After washing out, the agonist was added again three times in order to see whether the contraction was restored and normalized. Table 1 shows the ED.sub.50 -values in ng/ml for a number of compounds of formula (I) and their pharmaceutically acceptable acid addition salts in the above test. In this connection the ED.sub.50 -values are the minimal concentrations of the concerned drugs which reduce the amplitude of the contraction to at least 50% of its normal value.

Due to their pharmacological activities the compounds of formula (I), their possible stereochemically isomeric forms and their pharmaceutically acceptable acid-addition salts can be used in the treatment of a variety of diseases which are completely or predominantly caused by serotonin. More particularly, the compounds of the present invention may be useful in the treatment of patients suffering from psychosomatic disorders.
The subject compounds have useful properties as sedating-, anxiolytic-, anti-aggressive-, anti-stress- and muscular protectant agents and, consequently, they are useful to protect warm-blooded animals, for example, in stress situations.
Moreover, the compounds of the present invention may be used in the treatment of a variety of complaints in which serotonin-release is of non-neglectible importance such as, for example, in the blocking of serotonin-induced contractions of bronchial tissues and of blood vessels, arteries as well as veins.
In view of their useful pharmacological properties the subject compounds may be formulated into various pharmaceutical forms for administration purposes. To prepare the pharmaceutical compositions of this invention, a pharmaceutically effective amount of the particular compound, in base or acid-addition salt form, as the active ingredient is combined in intimate admixture with a pharmaceutically acceptable carrier, which carrier may take a wide variety of forms depending on the form of preparation desired for administration. These pharmaceutical compositions are desirable in unitary dosage form suitable, preferably, for administration orally, rectally or by parenteral injection. For example, in preparing the compositions in oral dosage form, any of the usual pharmaceutical media may be employed, such as, for example, water, glycols, oils, alcohols and the like in the case of oral liquid preparations such as suspensions, syrups, elixirs and solutions; or solid carriers such as starches, sugars, kaolin, lubricants, binders, disintegrating agents and the like in the case of powders, pills, capsules and tablets. Because of their ease in administration, tablets and capsules represent the most advantageous oral dosage unit form, in which case solid pharmaceutical carriers are obiously employed. For parenteral compositions, the carrier will usually comprise sterile water, at least in large part, though other ingredients, for example, to aid solubility, may be included. Injectable solutions, for example, may be prepared in which the carrier comprises saline solution, glucose solution or a mixture of saline and glucose solution. Injectable suspensions may also be prepared in which case appropriate liquid carriers, suspending agents and the like may be employed. Acid addition salts of (I), due to their increased water solubility over the corresponding base form, are obviously more suitable in the preparation of aqueous compositions.
It is especially advantageous to formulate the aforementioned pharmaceutical compositions in dosage unit form for ease of administration and uniformity of dosage. Dosage unit form as used in the specification and claims herein refers to physically discrete units suitable as unitary dosages, each unit containing a predetermined quantity of active ingredient calculated to produce the desired therapeutic effect in association with the required pharmaceutical carrier.
Preferred dosage unit forms contain from 1 to 200 mg of active ingredient and particularly preferred dosage unit forms contain from 5 to 100 mg of active ingredient.
Examples of such dosage unit forms are tablets (including scored or coated tablets), capsules, pills, powder packets, wafers, injectable solutions or suspensions, teaspoonfuls, tablespoonfuls and the like, and segregated mutiples thereof.
The following formulations exemplify typical pharmaceutical compositions in dosage unit form suitable for systemic administration to animal and human subjects in accordance with the present invention. These examples are given to illustrate and not to limit the scope of the present invention.
