Description

TECHNICAL FIELD

The present invention relates to chroman derivatives having bradycardia activities and is used for treating cardiac insufficiency in mammals inclusive of human being.

Japanese Patent Application Laid-open No. Sho 51-1477, Japanese Patent Application Laid-open No. Sho 56-57785, Japanese Patent Application Laid-open No. Sho 56-57786 and European Patent Publication No. 157843 (EP-A 157843) have reported that benzopyran derivatives were used for treating hypertension. Japanese Patent Application Laid-open No. Hei 5-1059 has reported benzopyran derivatives were used for treating peptic ulcer. However, none of them does refer to the possibility that the benzopyran derivatives can treat cardiac insufficient pathorogy.

The cardiac insufficiency which is a state of insufficient function of heart is a disease which is based on the depression of contraction of heart muscles. As a treatment therefor, it has been clinically used medicines for reinforcing the contraction of cardiac muscles. However, these medicines have such a problem that heart muscles energey is excessively consumed on the basis of the increase of the heart rate and thus, they have had problems to be solved with respect to effects to improve life recuperation after the administration of these medicines in a long period of time. It has been, therefore, desired to develop medicines which reduce load in consumption of heart muscle energy by reducing heart rate.

As mentioned above, the present invention have found that the compounds of the formula (I) have a strong activity of reducing the heart rate. Since the compounds of the present invention have no activity of retarding cardiac functions but rather have an activity of reducing the heart rate, they may exert the activity of enhancing the contraction of cardiac muscles even when they are administered in the same amount as that necessary for expressing the cardiotonic activity. Because of their activities, it is considered that the compounds according to the present invention may reduce the amount of oxygen to be consumed by cardiac muscles to therefore reduce the motility load of cardiac muscles and exert the anti-stenocardiac activity. In addition, it is also considered that they have an activity of prolonging the effective refractory period to thereby exert an antiarrhythmic activity. Therefore, it is expected that the compounds of the present invention are useful for curing cardiovascular disorders in consideration of the oxygen consumption, the energy consumption or the metabolism caused by the cardiac motility and also for curing other cardiac disorder essentially in consideration of the activity of the compounds of reducing the heart rate. For example, the compounds of the present invention are useful as medicines for cardiac insufficiency of mammals including human beings and also as medicines for curing cardiovascular disorders causing cardiac insufficiency of them such as, for example, medicines for curing isochemic cardiopathy, medicines for curing hypertension, medicines for curing cardiac fluid retention, medicines for curing pulmonary hypertension, medicines for curing valvulitis, medicines for curing congenital cardiac disorders, medicines for curing cardiomuscular disorders, medicines for curing pulmonary edema, medicines for curing angina of effort, medicines for curing myocardial infarction, medicines for curing arrhythma, and medicines for curing atrial fibrillation.

If necessary, however, an amount outside the above range may be employed.

The compounds of the present invention may be prepared into various suitable formulations depending upon the manner of administration, in accordance with conventional methods commonly employed for the preparations of pharmaceutical formulations.

SYNTHESIS EXAMPLE

Referential Example 1

Synthesis of 6-(benzoylamino)-2,2-dimethyl-7-nitro-2H-1-benzopyran (IV-1) ##STR64##

Benzoyl chloride (0.55 mL, 1.5 eq.) was added to a chloroform (10 mL) solution of 6-amino-2,2-dimethyl-7-nitro-2H-1-benzopyran (which was synthesized according to the method of Evans, J. M. et al., J. Med. Chem. 1984, 27, 1127) (700 mg, 3.18 mmol) and triethylamine. (0.58 mL, 1.3 eq.) at 0.degree. C. The mixture was stirred at 0.degree. C. for three hours and at room temperature for one and half hours. After a saturated aqueous ammonium chloride solution was added to the resulting mixture, the mixture was extracted with chloroform and dried over sodium sulfurate anhydride. After the solvent was distilled off, the obtained residue was purified through silica gel column chromatography (hexane:ethyl acetate=5:1) to obtain the intended product (570 mg, 55%) as an orange solid.

Synthesis of 6-(4'-methoxyphenylacetylamino)-3,4-epoxy-3,4-dihydro-2,2-dimethyl-7-nitro-2H-1benzopyran (II-20) ##STR83##

An ethyl acetate (180 mL) solution of the compound IV-5 (3.5 g, 9.5 mmol) was added with a salen manganese complex (the compound 45) (492.1 mg, 5 mol %) and a 4-phenylpyridine N-oxide (162.7 mg, 10 mol %). After the temperature was cooled to 0.degree. C., the mixture was added with a sodium hypochlorite (1.645 mol/l) solution (6.35 ml, 1.1. eq.) and the mixture was stirred at 0.degree. C. for one hour. The mixture was added with water and extracted with an ethyl acetate. After the extracted organic layer was combined and washed with a saturated saline water, the resulting product was dried over sodium sulfuric anhydride. After the solvent was distilled off, the obtained residue was purified through silica gel column chromatography (hexane:ethyl acetate=3:1) to obtain the intended product (2.69 g, 74%) as yellow crystals. ##STR84##

Synthesis of a trans-6-(phenylacetylamino)-3,4-dihydro-2,2-dimethyl-7-nitro-4-(1-pyrrolyl)-2H-1-benzopyran-3-ol ##STR110## 6-(phenylacetylamino)-3,4-epoxy-3,4-dihydro-2,2-dimethyl-7-nitro-2H-1-benzopyran (II-2) was added to an ethanol solution (10 mL) of 6.9% ammonia and stirred in a pressure glass tube at 80.degree. C. for four hours. The solvent was distilled off and amino alcohol (117 mg) was obtained as a brown oil.

Then, after the amino alcohol (117 mg) was dissolved in an acetic acid (3 mL), a 2.5-dimethoxytetrahydrofuran (45 .mu.L, 1.1 eq.) was added thereto and heated under reflux for two and half hours. After the temperature of the resulting product was cooled to room temperature, a saturated aqueous sodium hydrogencarbonate solution was added thereto and extracted with an ethyl acetate. The organic layer was combined, washed with water and dried over a sodium sulfate anhydride. After the solvent was distilled off, the obtainted residue was purified through silica gel column chromatography (hexane:ethyl acetate=2:1) to obtain the intended product (about 50 mg) as an orange crystals. The crystals were recrystallized from chloroform/ether to obtain an orange powder (39 mg, 29%, mp. 174-176.degree. C.).

PHARMACEUTICAL TEST EAMPLES

Effect on the Heart Rate

Methods

Male Hartley guinea-pigs were sacrificed. Their hearts were removed quickly and right atria were isolated from cardiac ventricles. The atria were suspended in an organ bath containing Krebs-Henseleit solution aerated with 95% O.sub.2 /5% CO.sub.2 at 31.degree. C. The diastolic tension applied was 1 g, and the tension developed was measured isometrically using a force displacement transducer. The preparations were equilibrated in the bathing solution with replacement of the solution.

After an equilibration period, isoproterenol was cumulatively added to the preparation to determine the maximum response. The atrium was then washed and equilibrated for 60 minutes with replacement of the solution. Thereafter, each compound (10, 30, 100 and 300 .mu.M) was cumulatively added to preparation.

Data were expressed as percentages of the maximum response induced by the preceding exposure of isoproterenol.

Result

These compounds caused, in a concentration-dependent manner, a negative chronotropic action as shown in the following table.
