Certain 3,4-dihydro 4-oxospiro [2H-1 benzopyrans] useful for treating hyperuricemia

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION
1. Field of the Invention
The present invention relates to novel compounds capable of inhibiting the biosynthesis of uric acid and also accelerating the excretion of said acid.
2. Prior Art
Hyperuricemia is a well known cause of gout, which is one of most popular diseases associated with the hyperuricemia, and the number of patients suffering from the gout is increasing. Hyperuricemia is also suggested to be a potential cause of certain angiopathys, such as ischemic cardiac disease and cerebrovascular disease. These diseases are associated with elevated level of uric acid in plasma and urine, and have been treated with medicines which lower the uric acid level.
There are two kinds of medicines used for such treatments. One is a xanthine oxidase inhibitor which inhibits the biosynthesis of uric acid The other is an eliminant which accelerates the excretion of uric acid. Examples of the inhibitor include Allopurinol and examples of the eliminant include Probenecid and Benzbromarone.
SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION
The present inventors have now discovered a class of heterocyclic compounds which can accelerate the excretion of uric acid and inhibit the biosynthesis of said acid through xanthine oxidase inhibition activity.

In particular, the present invention provides novel heterocyclic compounds of the formula (I) ##STR2## wherein R.sup.1 and R.sup.2 are independently hydrogen, lower alkyl, phenyl or substituted phenyl, or R.sup.1 and R.sup.2 may form a four- to eight-membered carbon ring together with the carbon atom to which they are attached; R.sup.3 is hydrogen or lower alkyl; R.sup.4 is one or two radicals selected from a group consisting of hydrogen, halogen, nitro, lower alkyl, phenyl, substituted phenyl, --OR.sup.5 and --SO.sub.2 NR.sup.6 R.sup.6' ; R.sup.5 is hydrogen, lower alkyl, phenyl-substituted lower alkyl, carboxymethyl or ester thereof, hydroxyethyl or ether thereof, or allyl; R.sup.6 and R.sup.6' are independently hydrogen or lower alkyl; R.sup.7 is hydrogen or a pharmaceutically active ester-forming group; A is a straight or branched hydrocarbon radical having one to five carbon atoms; B is halogen, oxygen, or ethylenedithio; Y is oxygen, sulfur, nitrogen or substituted nitrogen; Z is oxygen, nitrogen or substituted nitrogen; dotted line represents the presence or absence of a single bond.
As can be seen from the above formula (I), the compound of the invention can be classified into three groups, derivatives of chromanone (where Y is oxygen), thiochromanone (where Y is sulfur), and 2,3,4-tetrahydroquinoline (where Y is nitrogen).
For the purpose of the present invention, as disclosed and claimed herein, the following terms are defined as below.

As a pre-treatment for measuring uric acid clearance and inulin clearance, each animal was anesthetized with pentobarbital sodium, and canulae were placed into the right femoral artery (for blood collection), left femoral vein (for drug infusion), and urinary bladder (for urine collection) of each animal. 60% Urethane was subcutaneously administered to each animal at a dose of 2 ml/kg body weight and then 1.7% potassium oxonate/1.5% inulin/4% mannitol/0.9% saline solution was intravenously administered. After that, 0.5% pottasium oxonate/4% mannitol/1.5% inulin/0.9% saline was infused to each animal at a flow rate of 0.05 ml per minute on a hot plate kept at 30.degree. C. Thirty minutes later, 0.9% saline was intraperitonealy administered at 4 ml/kg body weight. After the equilibrium for another 30 minutes, arterial blood (0.2 ml each) samples were collected 6 times at every 20 minute interval and five 20-minute urine samples were collected. Immediately after the collection of every blood sample, the serum was separated therefrom, and the serum samples and the urine samples were stored in a refrigerator.
Immediately after the first collection of the urine sample, the test compound suspended in 1% gum arabic was intraperitoneally administered at 2 ml/kg body weight.
Uric acid both in the serum and in the urine was quantitatively analyzed by the method of Yonetani et al's. [Yonetani, Y.; Ishii, M.; Iwaki, K., Japanese J. Pharmacology 30, 829-840 (1980).] Inulin was also done substantially by the method of Vurek's and Pegram's [Vurek, G G., Pegram, S.E., Anal.Biochem., 16, 409-419 (1966}]. In order to analyze uric acid, 0.2 ml of diluted solution of deproteinized serum or urine was admixed with 2.5 ml of 0.4% dimedon/orthphosphoric acid solution and the resulting mixture was heated in a hot bath for 5 minutes. The mixture was then cooled in ice-cold water and the fluorescence was measured at 400 nm in the excitation wave length at 360 nm. Control experiments were carried out using an equivalent amount of positive control compounds, ([5-chloro-3-(2-methylphenyl)-4-oxo-4H-1-benzopyran-7-yl] oxy)acetic acid and benzbromarone.
b) Results
The results are listed in Table 11, showing that the ability of compounds of the present invention in accelerating the excretion of uric acid is superior or equivalent to that of each of the control compounds.

Experiment 2
Evaluation of xanthine oxidase inhibition activity
A mixture of 0.05M phosphate buffer (pH=8, 2 ml), 5.0.times.10.sup.-4 M xanthine solution (0.5 ml), and an aqueous solution of a test compound (0.3 ml) was charged in a cell for the spectrophotometer. An aqueous solution of xanthine oxidase (200 times dilution, Boelinger Manheim, milk xanthine oxidase) (0.2 ml) was added to the mixture. The absorbance at 293 nm was measured before, and 10 minutes after, the addition of xanthine. The increase in the two measurements is attributable to the amount of synthesized uric acid. Control experiment was carried out using water instead of the test compound solution. The 50% inhibition rate (IC.sub.50) was determined by assuming the increment obtained in the control trial to 100.
The results are shown below:
