Description

This invention relates to carbonyl derivatives which are histamine H-2 antagonists and which inhibit gastric acid secretion.
It is postulated that the physiologically-active compound histamine, which occurs naturally within the animal body, is able to combine, in the course of exerting its activity, with certain specific receptors of which there are at least two distinct and separate types. The first has been named the H-1 receptor (Ash and Schild, Brit. J. Pharmac., 1966, 27, 427) and the action of histamine at this receptor is blocked (antagonised) by classical "antihistamine" drugs such as mepyramine. The second histamine receptor has been named the H-2 receptor (Black et al., Nature, 1972, 236, 385) and the action of histamine at this receptor is blocked by drugs such as cimetidine. It is known that one of the results of the blockade of the action of histamine at the H-2 receptor is the inhibition of the secretion of gastric acid and a compound which possesses this ability is therefore useful in the treatment of peptic ulcers and other conditions caused or exacerbated by gastric acidity.
In European Patent Publication No. 23578 and Japanese Patent Application No. J53141271 (Derwent Accession No. 05327B/03) there are described histamine H-2 antagonists and gastric secretion inhibitors respectively which are benzene and heterocyclic rings having a side chain to the end of which is attached a group --NHCOR. It has now been discovered that if an optionally-substituted guanidine radical is directly attached to certain of these heterocyclic rings there are produced potent histamine H-2 receptor antagonists.
According to the invention there is provided a guanidine derivative of the formula I: ##STR2## in which R.sup.1 and R.sup.2, which may be the same or different, are hydrogen atoms or branched or unbranched 1-10C alkyl, 3-8C cycloalkyl or 4-14C cycloalkylalkyl radicals, each alkyl, cycloalkyl or cycloalkylalkyl radical being optionally substituted by one or more halogen atoms selected from fluorine, chlorine and bromine atoms, provided that at least one of R.sup.1 and R.sup.2 is halogen-substituted alkyl, cycloalkyl or cycloalkylalkyl radical and provided there is no halogen substituent on the carbon atom of the alkyl, cycloalkyl or cycloalkylalkyl radical which is directly attached to the nitrogen atom, or

and the pharmaceutically-acceptable acid addition salts thereof.
It is to be understood that, in the above formula I and throughout this specification, although the double bond in the guanidine residue attached to ring X has been inserted in a particular position, other tautomeric forms are possible, and this invention includes such tautomeric forms within its scope, both in terms of the compounds of the invention and in terms of the manufacturing processes. It is also to be understood that when A is or contains a cycloalkylene radical the groups attached to this radical may be in the cis or trans configuration. When A is or contains a cycloalkylene radical and/or when A is an alkylene chain substituted by one or two alkyl radicals, the compound of the formula I will, in most instances, contain at least one asymmetric centre. In such cases the compound of the formula I will therefore exist in at least two enantiomeric forms, the precise number being determined by the number of asymmetric centres. The biological activity, as hereinafter defined, of these enantiomeric forms may differ, and it is therefore to be understood that this invention encompasses the racemate of the formula I, including any possible diastereoisomeric forms, and any enantiomeric form which possesses the disclosed biological activity, it being a matter of common general knowledge to one skilled in the art how to separate diastereoisomeric forms and how to separate a racemate into its enantiomers and determine the biological activity of each.

When R.sup.1 or R.sup.2 is a halogen-substituted alkyl, cycloalkyl or cycloalkylalkyl radical or a radical of the formula II, a particular value for ring X is an oxazole, thiazole, imidazole, 1,2,4-thiadiazole, 1,2,4-oxadiazole, 1,2,3-triazole, 1,2,4-triazole, pyrazole, pyrazine, pyridine, pyrimidine or 1,3,5-triazine ring.
A particular value for the optional substituent on ring X when it is an alkyl, alkoxy or alkylthio radical is a methyl, methoxy or methylthio radical.
A particular value for --A-- is a phenylene, cyclopentylene, cyclohexylene, trimethylene, tetramethylene, pentamethylene, thioethylene, thiotrimethylene, thiotetramethylene, thiopentamethylene, oxyethylene, oxytrimethylene, oxytetramethylene, methylenethiomethylene, methylenethioethylene, methylenethiopropylene, methyleneoxymethylene, methyleneoxyethylene, ethyleneoxyethylene, oxy-2-methylethylene, thiopropylenethiomethylene, oxyethyleneoxymethylene, iminoethylene, iminopropylene, vinylenepropylene, oxymethylenevinylene, 1,3-phenylene, 1,3-cyclopentylene, methylene-1,4-phenylene, ethyleneoxymethylene-1,4-phenylene, oxy-1,3-phenylenemethylene or thiomethyleneethynylenemethylene radical. These values for --A-- are written reading from left to right in formula I such that the first named part of the radical is attached to ring X and the last named part of the radical is attached to NR.sup.4. Thus, for example, when --A-- is a thiomethyleneethynylenemethylene radical, the compound of the formula I contains the part structure IV: ##STR4##

Specific compounds of the invention are set out in the Examples. The following is a group of preferred compounds:
N-[3-(4-[2-(2,2,2-trifluoroethyl)guanidino]pyrimid-2-ylthio)propyl]formamide (Example 10);
N-(4-[4-(2-[2,2,2-trifluoroethyl]guanidino)-1,2,3-triazol-2-yl]butyl)nicotinamide (Example 18);
N-[4-(4-[2-(2,2,2-trifluoroethyl)guanidino]pyrimid-2-yl)butyl]formamide (Example 30);
N-[5-(4-[2-(2,2,2-trifluoroethyl)guanidino)pyrimid-2-yl)pentyl]oxamide (Example 42);
N-(3-[4-(2-[2,2,2-trifluoroethyl]guanidino)pyrimid-2-yloxy]propyl)nicotinamide (Example 52);
N-(4-[4-(2-[2,2,2-trifluoroethyl]guanidino)-1,2,3-triazol-2-yl]butyl)oxamide (Example 55);
and the pharmaceutically-acceptable acid-addition salts thereof.
Among this group of compounds, the compound of Example 18 is particularly preferred.
A suitable pharmaceutically-acceptable acid-addition salt of the guanidine derivative of the formula I is, for example, a salt formed with hydrochloric, hydrobromic, phosphoric, sulphuric, acetic, citric or maleic acid.
The guanidine derivative of the invention may be manufactured by methods in which the actual chemical reactions involved are known in themselves. The following processes, R.sup.1, R.sup.2, R.sup.3, R.sup.4, A, D and ring X having the meanings stated above, unless indicated otherwise, are therefore provided as further features of the invention.
The process of the invention is characterised by:
(a) reaction of a compound of the formula V: ##STR5## with a compound of the formula VI: ##STR6## or an activated derivative thereof. The activated derivative may, for example, be the acid chloride or acid bromide, an ester, for example a 1-6C alkyl, for example methyl or ethyl, ester or an anhydride. The anhydride may be a symmetrical anhydride or a mixed anhydride. A particularly useful mixed anhydride is that formed by reaction of the acid with ethyl chloroformate. The reaction may be conducted in a diluent or solvent such as ethanol, dimethylformamide or acetonitrile. In many cases the reaction proceeds satisfactorily at ambient temperature but in certain cases, particularly those in which the activated derivative is an ester, it may be necessary to apply heat to accelerate or complete the reaction, for example by heating to the boiling point of the diluent or solvent. When an acid chloride or acid bromide is used, it is preferable to conduct the reaction in the presence of a base such as triethylamine.
(b) for those compounds in which the group inserted into A is an oxygen or sulphur atom or an NH or N-alkyl radical, reaction of a compound of the formula VII or VIII: ##STR7## with a compound of the formula IX or X respectively: ##STR8## in which G is an oxygen or sulphur atom or an NH or N-alkyl radical, R.sup.12 is a displaceable radical and A.sup.1 and A.sup.2 are fragments of A, including direct bonds, and are such that A.sup.1 --G--A.sup.2 falls within the definition of A given above. R.sup.12 is, for example, a halogen atom, for example a chlorine, bromine or iodine atom. When R.sup.12 is directly attached to ring X R.sup.12 may, for example, be a methylsulphinyl or methylsulphonyl radical.
(c) for those compounds in which Z is a nitrogen atom, reaction of a compound of the formula XI: ##STR9## with a compound of the formula XII: ##STR10## in which R.sup.12 is a displaceable radical. R.sup.12 is, for example, a halogen atom, for example a chlorine, bromine or iodine atom.
(d) construction of the guanidine radical attached to ring X by reaction of the appropriate thiourea, or a 1-6C S-alkyl (e.g. S-methyl) or S-benzyl derivative thereof, or a salt of such a derivative, with the appropriate amine. The guanidine radical in the compound of the formula I contains three nitrogen atoms each of which carries different substituents. The appropriate amine for use in this reaction may therefore be ammonia, an amine of the formula R.sup.1 R.sup.2 NH or an amine of the formula XIII: ##STR11## The reaction may be conducted using an excess of one of the reactants as a diluent or solvent, or an additional diluent or solvent, for example methanol or ethanol, may be added. In may cases it is advantageous to use a catalyst such as mercuric oxide, lead oxide or sodium hypochlorite. The reaction may be conducted at ambient temperature or it may be accelerated or completed by the application of heat, for example by heating to the boiling point of the diluent or solvent.
(e) construction of the guanidine radical attached to ring X by reaction of the appropriate cyanamide with the appropriate amine. Since the guanidine radical in the compound of the formula I contains only one unsubstituted nitrogen atom there are two appropriate amines, namely the amine of the formula R.sup.1 R.sup.2 NH or of the formula XIII given above.
(f) for those compounds in which ring X is a thiazole ring, reaction of a compound of the formula XIV: ##STR12## with a compound of the formula XV: ##STR13## in which Hal is a chlorine or bromine atom and R.sup.13 is a hydrogen atom or the optional substituent on the thiazole ring. The reaction may be conducted in a diluent or solvent such as acetone and may be accelerated or completed by the application of heat, for example by heating to the boiling point of the diluent or solvent.
When the process of the invention manufactures the compound of the formula I in the form of the free base and an acid-addition salt is required, the compound of the formula I in the free base form is reacted with an acid which affords a pharmaceutically-acceptable anion.
Many of the starting materials of the formula V for use in process (a) are described in Belgian Pat. No. 866155, UK Patent Application 2001624 and European Patent Publications Nos. 6286, 6679, 30092 and 45155, and others may be prepared by the general methods described in these publications. Thus this starting material may be obtained by separate construction of the two side chains on the appropriate ring X. Thus the left hand side chain may be constructed by reduction of a nitro group to an amino group, reaction of this amino group with an isothiocyanate of the formula R.sup.1 R.sup.2 N.dbd.C.dbd.S, and finally reaction of the resulting thiourea with ammonia in the presence of mercuric oxide, for example as illustrated in Examples 7 and 12. The method of construction of the right hand side chain may vary depending on the nature of ring X, the nature of the atom in ring X to which A is attached (carbon or nitrogen) and the presence or absence of inserted atoms or groups in chain A. In this construction it will generally be necessary to protect the NR.sup.4 --H function and to release it as a final step. When A contains no inserted group or the inserted group is a phenylene radical and Z is a carbon atom, it is preferable to construct the ring X with the right hand chain already in place. Thus when ring X is a thiazole ring a process similar to that described in process (f) may be used, for example as illustrated in Example 25. When ring X is a 1,2,3-triazole ring, it may be formed by reaction of methazonic acid with a suitable azide. When ring X is a pyrimidine ring, it may be formed by reaction of a suitably substituted imino ether or amidine with 2-chloroacrylonitrile, for example as illustrated in Example 12. When the inserted group in A is a vinylene or ethynylene radical, A may be introduced by formation of the double or triple bond by standard coupling methods. When the inserted group in A is a cycloalkylene radical, the chain A may be constructed by a conjugate addition to the corresponding cycloalk-2-enone. When the inserted group in A is an oxygen or sulphur atom or an NH or N-alkyl radical, the right hand chain may be built up by a method similar to that described in process (b), for example as illustrated in Example 7. When Z is a nitrogen atom, the right hand chain may be formed by a method similar to that described in process (c), for example as illustrated in Example 18. When R.sup.4 is a hydrogen atom, a particularly useful protecting group for the nitrogen atom is the phthalimido or cyano group, for example as illustrated in Examples 7, 12, 18 and 25.
The starting material of the formula VI in process (a) in which R.sup.3 carries a substituent of the formula III and the activated derivative is the acid chloride may be prepared by reaction of the corresponding acid which also carries a sulphamoyl group with thionyl chloride in the presence of a compound of the formula R.sup.11 CONR.sup.9 R.sup.10, for example as illustrated in Examples 27, 49 and 50.
The starting materials of the formula VII and VIII for use in process (b), and of the formula XI for use in process (c), may be prepared by construction of the guanidine chain on a suitably substituted ring X.
The starting material of the formula XIII for use in process (d) may be prepared by the methods described above for the preparation of the starting material of the formula V for use in process (a), in which the right hand chain is constructed first, followed by process (a). During this process it may be necessary to protect the amino group attached to ring X and to remove it at the last stage.
The cyanamide, corresponding to the amine of the formula XIII, for use in process (e), may be prepared by reaction of the compound of the formula XIII with cyanogen bromide.
The starting material of the formula V for use in process (a) in which R.sup.2 is a hydrogen atom, R.sup.1 is a hydrogen atom or an alkyl, cycloalkyl, cycloalkylalkyl, alkenyl, alkynyl, alkanoyl, aroyl, aryl or arylalkyl radical, the last three being optionally substituted, and ring X is a 1,2,3-triazole, 1,2,4-triazole, pyrazole, pyrazine, pyridine, pyrimidine or 1,3,5-triazine ring is a particularly useful intermediate for preparing certain of the compounds of the formula I. This starting material is therefore provided as a further feature of the invention.
As noted above, the guanidine derivative of the invention is a histamine H-2 antagonist, inhibits the secretion of gastric acid in warm-blooded animals and is therefore useful in the treatment of peptic ulcers and other conditions caused or exacerbated by gastric acidity, including stress ulcers and gastrointestinal bleeding due to trauma.
The histamine H-2 antagonist activity may be demonstrated on standard tests, for example by the ability of the compound of the formula I to inhibit the histamine-induced positive chronotropic response in the spontaneously beating right atrium of the guinea pig or by its ability to inhibit the histamine-induced uptake of aminopyrine into the acid space of parietal cells.
The guinea pig atrium test is carried out as follows:
A guinea pig right atrium is suspended at 1 g. tension (isometric) in a thermostatically-controlled (30.degree. C.) tissue bath (25 ml.) containing oxygenated (95% O.sub.2, 5% CO.sub.2) Krebs-Henseleit buffer (pH 7.4). The tissue is allowed to stabilise over 1 hour during which time it is washed 2-4 times. Individual contractions are recorded with a force-displacement transducer through a strain gauge coupler, and instantaneous rates are monitored with a cardiotachometer. A control response to 1 .mu.M histamine is obtained after which the tissue is washed 3 times and allowed to re-equilibrate to basal rate. After re-equilibration for 15 minutes, the test compound is added to the desired final concentration. Ten minutes after addition of the compound histamine (1 .mu.M) is again added and the response to histamine in the presence of antagonist is compared to the histamine control response. The result is expressed as a percentage of the histamine control response. Thereafter the apparent dissociation constant of the H-2 antagonist is determined by standard procedures.
The aminopyrine test is carried out as follows:
Gastric mucosa from the New Zealand white rabbit is removed from the underlying muscle and washed in Buffer 1 [containing per liter NaCl; (8.007 g.), KCl (0.201 g.), Na.sub.2 HPO.sub.4 (0.113 g.), KH.sub.2 PO.sub.4 (0.204 g.), CaCl.sub.2.2H.sub.2 O (0.132 g.), MgCl.sub.2 (0.101 g.) and glucose (1 g.), adjusted to pH 7.4 with NaOH]. The tissue is finely chopped, suspended in Buffer 1 and washed three times with Buffer 1. The tissue is then suspended in dispersion medium [collagenase (Sigma Chemical Co., Type V; 100 mg.) and bovine serum albumin (Miles Laboratories Ltd., Fraction V; 100 mg.) in Buffer 1 (100 ml.)]; 50 ml. per 10 g. net weight of tissue] and incubated at 30.degree. C. and pH 7.4 (maintained by continuous monitoring) with stirring under an oxygen atmosphere. After 30 minutes the tissue is allowed to settle and the supernatant liquid is removed. Fresh dispersion medium (50 ml. per 10 g. wet weight of tissue) is added and incubation is continued with the tissue being largely dispersed into glands and whole cells after 40-60 minutes. Any remaining large pieces of tissue are removed by filtration through nylon mesh. The mixture of glands and cells is collected by centrifugation at 200.times.g. and suspended in Buffer 1 containing 1% bovine serum albumin (Miles Laboratories Ltd., Fraction V). Finally the cells and glands are washed 3 times with Buffer 1 and suspended in Buffer 2 [containing Eagles MEM (500 ml)., Aprotinin (Sigma Chemical Co., 10 mg.) and HEPES (2-[4-(2-hydroxyethyl)piperazin-1-yl]ethanesulphonic acid; 150 mM., 20 ml.) adjusted to pH 7.4 with NaOH; 150 ml. per 10 g. net weight of tissue]. The tissue suspension is stirred under an oxygen atmosphere at 32.degree. C. for at least 1 hour before use. The tissue suspension is incubated with the test compound and aminopyrine (10 .mu.M) labelled with C.sup.14 on the dimethylamino group (0.1 .mu.Ci/ml.) for 20 minutes. The uptake of the aminopyrine is then stimulated by addition of histamine and the phosphodiesterase inhibitor ICI 63197 (Biochem. Soc. Special Publication 1, 1973, pp 127-132) to final concentrations of 10.sup.-5 M. and 5.times.10.sup.-7 M. respectively. After 18 minutes the cells/glands are separated from the incubation medium by filtration of the suspension through glass microfibre filters. The cells/glands are quickly (<10 seconds) washed three times with ice-cold Buffer 1. The C.sup.14 aminopyrine retained by the tissue is measured on a scintillation counter and the degree of inhibition of uptake by the test compound is calculated by reference to a control sample. The concentration of test compound giving 50% inhibition is then calculated graphically from a series of tests run at different concentrations.
All the compounds exemplified in this specification were tested either on the guinea pig atrium test or on the aminopyrine test. All those tested on the guinea pig atrium test are active at or below a bath concentration of 10 .mu.M. and the more active compounds show complete inhibition of response at this concentration. All those tested on the aminopyrine test gave a 50% inhibition of uptake of aminopyrine at or below a concentration of 3 .mu.M.
The inhibition of the secretion of gastric acid may be demonstrated in standard tests, for example by the ability of the compound of the formula I, when dosed intravenously, intragastrically or orally, to inhibit the secretion of acidic gastric juice in, for example, rats, or dogs provided with gastric fistulae or denervated fundic pouches, and whose gastric secretion is stimulated by administration of a secretagogue, for example histamine, pentagastrin, bethanechol or food.
The test in rats is carried out as follows:
Female rats (200-230 g.) are anesthetized by intramuscular administration of urethane (1.5 g/kg.) and the trachea cannulated. A soft tube is passed down the oesophagus into the stomach and secured by a tie in the neck region. A multi-orifice plastic tube (3 mm. diameter) is passed into the antral region of the stomach, via an incision in the duodenum, and tied in place by means of a ligature around the pylorus. Saline (9 g./l. NaCl) is perfused through the stomach via the oesophageal cannula at a rate of 7 ml./minute and collected into beakers from the pyloric outlet over periods of 10 minutes. Acid secretion is stimulated by subcutaneous administration of the specific H-2 agonist dimaprit in a loading dose of 10 mg./kg. followed by an infusion of 30 mg./kg./hour. Acid output is computed by titration of the 10 minute samples to an end point of pH 6.4 with 20 mM. NaOH. When secretion has reached a plateau (three consecutive readings within 5%) the test compound is administered intravenously via a cannula placed in the left external jugular vein. Secretion is then measured for a further 2 hours. A stock solution of each test compound is prepared (10 mg./ml. in DMSO) and appropriate dilution made with saline to enable injection in a dose volume of 1 ml./kg. (DMSO .cent.2%).
The test in dogs provided with chronic fistulae is carried out as follows:
A female pure bred beagle (9-12 kg.) having a chronic gastric fistula is fasted overnight with water ad lib. During the experiment the dog is lightly restrained in a standing position. When studying the test compound by the intravenous route, the fistula is opened and, after ascertaining the absence of basal secretion over a period of 30 minutes, a continuous intravenous infusion of secretagogue (0.5 .mu.mol./kg./hour of histamine or 2 .mu.g./kg./hour pentagastrin) in saline (15 ml./hour) is begun. Gastric acid samples are collected every 15 minutes. The volume of each sample is measured and a 1 ml. aliquot is titrated to neutrality with 100 mM NaOH to determine acid concentration. When a plateau of secretion is reached (1-2 hours), the test compound is administered intravenously in saline and gastric acid samples are collected for a further 2-3 hours during which time the infusion of the secretagogue continues uninterrupted.
When studying the test compound by the intragastric route, the absence of basal secretion over a period of 30 minutes is ascertained and the test compound, contained in 25 ml. of 0.5% w/v hydroxypropyl methylcellulose and 0.1% w/v `Tween` 80 in water (`Tween` is a Trade Mark) is instilled into the stomach through a fistula dosing plug. One hour later, the fistula is reopened and intravenous infusion of a secretagogue, as described above, is immediately begun. Gastric acid samples are measured as described above and the approach of acid secretion to a plateau is compared to that of a control animal which is dosed intragastrically only with the dosing vehicle.
When studying the test compound by the oral route it is administered in a gelatin capsule with 15 ml. of water. One hour later, the fistula is opened and intravenous infusion of the secretagogue is immediately begun. Gastric acid samples are measured as above and the approach of acid secretion to a plateau is compared to that of an undosed control animal.
The test in dogs provided with denervated fundic pouches is carried out as follows:
Male beagle dogs (14-22 kg.) are prepared with vagally denervated pouches of the fundic gland area by the method of Rudick et al. (J. Surg. Res. 1967, 7 383.) The animals are allowed 4-6 weeks to recover from surgery and a further period of 2-3 months prior to routine use, to allow for table training and standardization of secretory responses. The dogs are starved for 23 hours before use (water ad lib) and during experiments they are lightly restrained in cloth slings. After rinsing the pouch with warm water, histamine is infused subcutaneously at a rate of 10 .mu.g./minute. This dose of agonist produces a submaximal (60-90% of maximum) increase in acid output in all dogs used. Pouch secretions are collected over 15 minute periods into graduated glass test-tubes and the volume measured to the nearest 0.1 ml. A 500 .mu.l sample is diluted with 5 ml. of saline and titrated to pH 7.0 with 100 mM NaOH. Total acid output is computed from the product of acid concentration and volume of juice secreted. Compounds are administered intravenously (0.1 ml./kg.) via a cephalic vein or orally in a gelatin capsule when a secretory plateau (3 consecutive readings within 10%) has been attained. Secretion is measured for a period of 3 hours following administration of test compound.
The results obtained in the atrium and aminopyrine tests are predictive of activity in the rat and dog tests. No overt toxicity or side effects were noted during the rat or dog tests.
According to a further feature of the invention there is provided a pharmaceutical composition which comprises a guanidine derivative of the invention in association with a non-toxic pharmaceutically-acceptable diluent or carrier.
The pharmaceutical composition may, for example, be in a form suitable for oral, rectal, parenteral or topical administration, for which purposes it may be formulated by means known to the art into the form of, for example, tablets, capsules, aqueous or oily solutions or suspension, emulsions, dispersible powders, suppositories, sterile injectable aqueous or oily solutions or suspensions, gels, creams, ointments or lotions.
In addition to the guanidine derivative of the formula I, the pharmaceutical composition of the invention for oral, rectal or parenteral administration may also contain, or be co-administered with, one or more known drugs selected from antacids, for example aluminium hydroxide-magnesium hydroxide mixtures; antipepsin compounds, for example pepstatin; other histamine H-2 antagonists, for example cimetidine or ranitidine; ulcer healing agents, for example carbenoxolone or bismuth salts; anti-inflammatory agents, for example ibuprofen, indomethacin, naproxen or aspirin prostaglandins, for example 16,16-dimethylprostaglandin E.sub.2 ; classical antihistamines (histamine H-1 antagonists), for example mepyramine or diphenhydramine; anticholinergic agents, for example atropine or propantheline bromide; anxiolytic agents, for example diazepam, chlordiazepoxide or phenobarbital.
The pharmaceutical composition of the invention for topical administration may also contain, in addition to the guanidine derivative, one or more classical anti-histamines (histamine H-1 antagonists), for example mepyramine or diphenhydramine and/or one or more steroidal anti-inflammatory agents, for example fluocinolone or triamcinolone.
A topical formulation may contain 1-10% w/w of the guanidine derivative of the invention. A preferred pharmaceutical composition of the invention is one suitable for oral administration in unit dosage form, for example a tablet or capsule which contains between 5 mg. and 500 mg. of the guanidine derivative, or one suitable for intravenous, subcutaneous or intramuscular injection, for example a sterile injectable containing between 0.1% and 10% w/w of the guanidine derivative.
The pharmaceutical composition of the invention will normally be administered to man for the treatment of peptic ulcers and other conditions caused or exacerbated by gastric acidity in the same general manner as that employed for cimetidine, due allowance being made in terms of dose levels for the potency and duration of action of the guanidine derivative of the present invention relative to cimetidine. Thus each patient will receive an oral dose of between 5 mg. and 500 mg., and preferably between 10 mg. and 100 mg., of guanidine derivative or an intravenous, subcutaneous or intramuscular dose of between 0.5 mg. and 50 mg., and preferably between 2 mg. and 20 mg., of the guanidine derivative, the composition being administered 1 to 4 times per day. The rectal dose will be approximately the same as the oral dose. The composition may be administered less frequently when it contains an amount of guanidine derivative which is a multiple of the amount which is effective when given 1-4 times per day.
The invention is illustrated, but not limited, by the following Examples. The n.m.r. spectra are quoted in .delta. relative to tetramethylsilane (.delta.=0) as internal standard (s=singlet, d=doublet, t=triplet, q=quartet, m=multiplet, br=broad). The temperatures are in degrees Centigrade. The following contractions are used:
HOAc=acetic acid
DMF=dimethyl formamide
ether=diethyl ether
DMSO=dimethylsulphoxide
MeOH=methanol
EtOH=ethanol
THF=tetrahydrofuran
EtOAc=ethyl acetate
Attention is drawn to the fact that 4-nitrotriazole (Example 18) is an explosion hazard.
