The invention also relates to processes for making the compound of formula I and their corresponding acid addition salts. The compounds of formula I and their pharmaceutically usable acid addition salts can be prepared by
(a) reacting a compound of the formula
R--CO--OH II
wherein R has the above significance, in the form of the free acid or in the form of a reactive functional derivative thereof with ethylenediamine, or
(b) reacting a compound of the formula
R--CO--NH--CH.sub.2 --CH.sub.2 --R.sup.9 III
wherein R has the above significance and R.sup.9 is a leaving group, with ammonia, or
(c) converting the residue R.sup.10 in a compound of the formula
R--CO--NH--CH.sub.2 --CH.sub.2 --R.sup.10 IV
wherein R has the above significance and R.sup.10 is a residue which is convertible into an amino group, into the amino group and, if desired, converting a compound obtained into a pharmaceutically usable acid addition salt.
As reactive functional derivatives of the acids of formula II there come into consideration, for example, halides, for example, chlorides, symmetrical or mixed anhydrides, esters, for example, methyl esters, p-nitrophenyl esters or N-hydroxysuccinimide esters, azides and amides, for example, imidazolides or succinimides.
The reaction of an acid of formula II or a reactive functional derivative thereof with ethylenediamine according to variant (a) of the above process can be carried out according to usual methods. Thus, for example, a free acid of formula II can be reacted with ethylenediamine in the presence of a condensation agent in an inert solvent. If a carbodiimide such as 1,1'-carbonyldiimidazole or dicyclohexylcarbodiimide is used as the condensation agent, then the reaction is conveniently carried out in an alkanecarboxylic acid ester such as ethyl acetate, an ether such as tetrahydrofuran or dioxan, a chlorinated hydrocarbon such as methylene chloride or chloroform, an aromatic hydrocarbon such as benzene, toluene or xylene, acetonitrile or dimethylformamide at a temperature between about 0.degree. C. and about 100.degree. C., preferably at about 60.degree. C. If phosphorus trichloride is used as the condensation agent, then the reaction is conveniently carried out in a solvent such as pyridine at a temperature between about 0.degree. C. and the reflux temperature of the reaction mixture. In another embodiment of variant (a), ethylenediamine is reacted with one of the above-mentioned reactive functional derivatives of an acid of formula II. Thus, for example, a halide, for example, the chloride, of an acid of formula II can be reacted at about 0.degree. C. with ethylenediamine in the presence of a solvent such as for example, methylene chloride or ether.
The compounds of formula III are, for example, N-(2-haloethyl)carboxamides such as N-(2-chloroethyl)carboxamides, N-(2-methylsulfonylethyl)carboxamides or N-(2-p-toluenesulfonylethyl)carboxamides and the like.
In accordance with variant (b) a compound of formula III can be reacted with ammonia in a manner known per se at a temperature between about -40.degree. C., and 50.degree. C., if desired in the presence of a solvent such as dimethylformamide, dimethylacetamide, dimethyl sulfoxide and the like. The reaction is conveniently carried out in the presence of a solvent at about room temperature.
The conversion of the residue R.sup.10 into amino in accordance with variant (c) is also effected in a manner known per se depending on the nature of the residue R.sup.10. If this is an amide, then the conversion is conveniently effected by acidic or basic hydrolysis. For the acidic hydrolysis there is advantageously used a solution of a mineral acid such as hydrochloric acid, aqueous hydrogen bromide, sulfuric acid, phosphoric acid and the like in an inert solvent such as an alcohol, for example, methanol or ethanol, an ether, for example, tetrahydrofuran or dioxan, and the like. For the basic hydrolysis there can be used aqueous solutions of alkali metal hydroxides such as potassium hydroxide solution or sodium hydroxide solution. Inert organic solvents such as those referred to above for the acidic hydrolysis can be added as solubilizers. The reaction temperature can be varied for the acidic and basic hydrolysis in a range from about room temperature to the reflux temperature. With the reaction being preferably carried out at the boiling temperature of the reaction mixture or slightly thereunder. If R.sup.10 is phthalimido, then, in addition to the acidic and basic hydrolysis, an aminolysis with an aqueous solution of a lower alkylamine such as methylamine or ethylamine can also be carried out. A lower alkanol such as ethanol can be used as the organic solvent. The reaction is preferably carried out at room temperature. A third method for the conversion of phthalimido into amino comprises reacting compounds of formula IV with hydrazine in an inert solvent such as ethanol, a mixture of ethanol and chloroform, tetrahydrofuran or aqueous ethanol. The reaction temperature can be varied in a range from about room temperature up to about 100.degree. C. with the reaction being preferably carried out at the boiling temperature of the chosen solvent. The resulting product can be extracted with dilute mineral acid and can subsequently be obtained by making the acidic solution basic. The t-butoxycarbonylamino residue is conveniently converted into the amino group with trifluoroacetic acid or formic acid in the presence or absence of an inert solvent such as methylene chloride at about room temperature, while the conversion of the trichloroethoxycarbonylamino group is effected with zinc or cadmium under acidic conditions. The acidic conditions are conveniently achieved by carrying out the reaction in acetic acid in the presence or absence of an additional inert solvent such as an alcohol, for example, methanol. The benzyloxycarbonylamino residue can be converted into the amino group in a known manner by acidic hydrolysis as described above or hydrogenolytically. An azido group can be reduced to the amino group according to known methods, for example with elementary hydrogen in the presence of a catalyst such as palladium/carbon, Raney-nickel, platinum oxide and the like. A hexamethylenetetraammonium group can be converted into the amino group by acidic hydrolysis according to likewise known methods.
The compounds of formula II and their reactive functional derivatives, which are used as starting materials in variant (a). are novel, but belong to known classes of substances and can be obtained in analogy to the preparation of known compounds. They are also an object of the present invention.
Processes for the preparation of in each case one type of compound of formula II in which R is group (a), (b), (c) or (d) are sketched in the following Schemes I and II in which R.sup.8 is hydrogen or lower-alkyl and R.sup.11 is hydrogen, halogen, lower-alkyl, lower-alkoxy, trifluoromethyl, cyano or aryl-lower-alkoxy. R.sup.12 is lower-alkyl, R.sup.13 is hydrogen or halogen and X is halogen. With respect to the specific reaction conditions, reference is made to the experimental part. ##STR4##
The compounds of formula III, which are used as starting materials in variant (b). are also novel, but again belong to known classes of substances and can be prepared in a manner known per se. They also form an object of the present invention. For example, a compound of formula II or a reactive functional derivative thereof can be reacted with ethanolamine under the reaction conditions given for variant (a) and the N-(2-hydroxyethyl)carboxamide obtained can be converted into the desired compound of formula III in a manner known per se, for example, by reaction with a halogenating agent such as phosphorus trichloride, phosphorus tribromide, phosphorus pentachloride, phosphorus oxychloride and the like, an arylsulfonyl halide such as tosyl chloride or an alkylsulfonyl halide such as mesyl chloride.
The compounds of formula IV. which are used as starting materials in variant c). are novel and are also an object of the present invention. They can be prepared in a manner known per se, for example by reacting a compound of formula II or a reactive functional derivative thereof with a compound of the formula
H.sub.2 N--CH.sub.2 --CH.sub.2 --R.sup.10 V
wherein R.sup.10 has the above significance under the reaction conditions given for variant (a). The compounds of formula V are known or can be obtained in analogy to the preparation of the known compounds.
According to an alternative process the compounds of formula IV in which R.sup.10 is phthalimido, azido or hexamethylenetetraammonium can also be obtained by reacting a compound of formula III with potassium phthalimide, an alkali metal azide or hexamethylenetetramine. The reaction is effected in a manner known per se under the reaction conditions given for variant (b).
As mentioned above, the compounds of formula I and their pharmaceutically usable acid addition salts have monoamine oxidase (MAO) inhibiting activity. On the basis of this activity the compounds of formula I and their pharmaceutically usable acid addition salts are useful for the treatment of depressive states and cognitive disorders, especially of those which are caused by age. Examples of such disorders are hypomnesis caused by age primary and secondary degenerative dementia, for example, dementia of the Alzheimer type or multi-infarct caused dementia, and cerebrovascular disorders and consequences of brain damages.
The MAO inhibiting activity of the compounds in accordance with the invention can be determined using standard methods. Thus, the preparations to be tested were subjected to the in vitro test described hereinafter, which followed the method published by R. J. Wurtmann and J. A. Axelrod [Biochem. Pharmac. 12, 1439-1441 (1963)].
Materials and Methods
Isolated rat brains are homogenized in the ratio 1:4 (weight/volume) in 0.1 molar potassium phosphate buffer (pH 7.4). whereupon the homogenates are diluted in the ratio 1:4 (volume/volume) with the same buffer and stored at -20.degree.. A mixture of the following composition is used for the incubation:
100 .mu.l of 1M phosphate buffer (pH 7.4);
100 .mu.l solubilizate of the substance to be tested in water or dimethyl sulfoxide;
20 .mu.l of rat brain homogenate; and as the substrate
80 .mu.l of .sup.14 C-serotonin (5-HT) or .sup.14 C-phenylethylamine (PEA), in each case 100,000 decays per minute, corresponding to a final concentration of 2.10.sup.-4 Mol/l and, respectively, 2.10.sup.-5 Mol/l.
Prior to the addition of the substrate a preincubation at 37.degree. C. was effected for 30 minutes. The incubation (in the presence of the substrate) was also effected at 37.degree. C. and lasted 10 minutes.
The reaction is stopped by the addition of 200 .mu.l of 2N hydrochloric acid.
The deaminated product, depending on the use of 5-HT or of PEA as the substrate, is extracted by shaking for 10 minutes with 5 ml of diethyl ether or with 5 ml of n-heptane, whereupon the mixture is centrifuged, the aqueous phase is frozen in a dry-ice bath and the organic phase is poured into a counting glass.
The activity of the MAO in comparison to control homogenates (without substance to be tested) is determined on the basis of the .beta.-counter value and the IC 50 is defined as that concentration of a substance to be tested which decreases the activity of the MAO in the substrate 5-HT or PEA to 50%.
The thus-determined activity of some compounds in accordance with the invention will be evident from the IC.sub.50 values listed in Table 1 below:

Subsequently the mixture was cooled, dissolved in 50 ml of methylene chloride and chromatographed on 150 g of silica gel. Elution was first carried out with methylene chloride, then with a 9:1, 8:2 and finally 7:3 mixture of methylene chloride and ethyl acetate. The fractions which were pure according to the thin-layer chromatogram were combined and recrystallized from ethyl acetate/hexane.

The reaction mixture was stirred at 0.degree.-5.degree. for a further 30 minutes, subsequently diluted with 150 ml of methylene chloride and washed with in each case 100 ml of water, saturated sodium bicarbonate solution as well as sodium chloride solution. The aqueous phases were back-extracted with 100 ml of methylene chloride. The combined organic phases were dried over magnesium sulfate and evaporated.
