Suitable bases thus include, for example, the alkali metal and alkaline earth metal hydroxides and carbonates, ammonia, primary, secondary and tertiary amines, such as, monoalkylamines, dialkylamines, trialkylamines, nitrogen containing heterocyclic amines, for example, piperidine and the like.
The compounds of formula I of the invention, when R.sup.1, R.sup.2 and R.sup.3 are alkyl, n is 1 and Z and W are different alkyl, possess one or two asymmetric carbon atoms, they can thus be obtained as enantiomers, diastereomeric or as racemic mixtures. The enantiomers can be obtained by utilizing optically active starting materials which are commercially available or can be prepared according to known methods. Alternatively, the enantiomeric mixtures can be separated by conventional methods. The resolution of racemates into the optically active isomers can be carried out by known procedures. Some racemic mixtures can be precipitated as eutectics and can thereafter be separated. Chemical resolution is, however, preferred. By this method, diastereomeric salts are formed from the reacemic mixture of a compound of formula I, with an optically active resolving agent, for example, an optically active base, such as R-(+)-.alpha.-methylbenzylamine. The formed diastereomers are separated by fractional crystallization and converted to the corresponding optical isomer by treatment with acid. Thus, the invention covers the racemates of the compounds of formula I as well as their optically active isomers (enantiomers).
The compounds of formula I and their pharmaceutically acceptable salts are active as inhibitors of bronchoconstriction and are therefor useful as bronchopulmonary agents, for example, in the relief of asthma and allergic reactions. The useful activity of the compounds of formula I of the invention can be demonstrated as hereinafter set forth.
LTD.sub.1 RECEPTOR LIGAND BINDING ASSAY
Method
A lung homogenate was prepared from guinea pig lung membranes and was resuspended in buffer containing 10 mM Tris.multidot.HCl (pH 7.5) (Hogaboom et al., Complete cite 1983). Optimum assay conditions were determined with an assay mixture containing: 10 mM Tris.multidot.HCl (pH 7.5); 0.1% bovine serum albumin (BSA); 1 mM glycine; 1 mM cysteine; 3.5 nM [.sup.3 H]LTD.sub.4 and the membrane preparation (100-200 g protein) in a final volume of 250 ml. The incubation was carried out at 20.degree. C. for 30 minutes. At 20.degree. C., binding increased linearly with protein concentration, reached equilibrium in 20 minutes, was saturable, and was reversible upon addition of 1 mM unlabelled LTD.sub.4. Separation of bound from free [.sup.3 H]LTD.sub.4 as performed by rapid filtration on GF/C glass fiber filters (Whatman International Ltd., Maidstone, England) and washing with two 4-ml aliquots of Tyrode solution (0.9 g/100 ml NaCl; 0.02 g/100 ml KCl; 0.02 g/100 ml CaCl.sub.2 ; 0.01 g/100 ml MgCl.sub.2 ; 0.1 g/100 ml glucose; 0.1 g/100 ml NaHCO.sub.3 ; 0.005 g/100 ml NaH.sub.2 PO.sub.4)containing 0.1% BSA. Radioactivity remaining on the filters was measured in 10 ml of Aquasol. Specific binding, was defined as that displaced by 1 mM unlabelled LTD.sub.4, and was 95% of total binding.
The inhibition of [.sup.3 H]LTD.sub.4 specific binding by an antagonist is related to the LTD.sub.4 content of that sample by regression analysis from a "standard curve" of the inhibition of [.sup.3 H]LTD.sub.4 specific binding by nonlabeled LTD.sub.4. The median inhibitory concentration (IC.sub.50 value) was determined by linear regression of log concentration-response curves generated by at least 3 concentrations that caused statistically significant inhibition between 10 and 90%. Results are expressed as mean.+-.S. E. M. (standard error of the mean) of n independent experiments (separate receptor batches) conducted in duplicates.

Antagonism of Bronchoconstriction in Guinea Pigs
Male guinea pigs (Hartley strain, Charles River) weighing 400-600 g were anesthetized with urethane (2 g/kg) intraperitoneally, and a polyethylene cannula was inserted into the jugular vein for intravenous drug administration. Tracheal pressure (cm of H.sub.2 O) was recorded from a Statham pressure transducer (P 32 AA). Propranolol was administered 5 minutes prior to challenge with LTD.sub.4. Two minutes later spontaneous breathing was arrested with succinylcholine chloride (1.2 mg/kg) administered intravenously, and the animals were ventilated with a Harvard (Model 680) small animal respirator set at 40 breaths/min and a 4.0 cc stroke volume. Control vehicle (DMSO) or test compound was administered through the cannula into the jugular vein 1 minute before the animals were challenged with a maximum constrictory dose of LTD.sub.4 (25 mg/kg I.V.) given intravenously. The change in tracheal pressure was averaged for control and drug-treated animals and percent inhibition was calculated. For determination of oral activity, animals were dosed with test compound or vehicle (PEG400) two hours prior to challenge with LTD.sub.4 (25 mg/kg, i.v.).
The relative potency of test compounds administered by the intravenous and oral route was determined by administering increasing doses of test compound at a fixed pretreatment time. The median inhibitory dose (ID.sub.50 value) was determined by linear regression of log dose-response curves generated by at least 3 doses that caused statistically significant inhibition between 10 and 90%. The correlation coefficient for the regression line was always greater than 0.95. For determination of the time-course of inhibition for various compounds, the time between administration of compound and challenge with LTD.sub.4 was varied. Durations of action were defined as the time for inhibitory activity to decrease to 50%.

Thus, a compound of formula I, an enantiomer, a diastereomer or racemate thereof or a salt thereof can be administered either singly or with other pharmaceutical agents, for example, antihistamines, mediator release inhibitors, methyl xanthines, beta agonists or antiasthmatic steroids such as prednisone and prednisoline, orally, parenterally, rectally, or by inhalation, for example, in the form of an aerosol, micropulverized powder or nebulized solution. For oral administration they can be administered in the form of tablets, capsules, for example, in admixture with talc, starch, milk sugar or other inert ingredients, that is, pharmaceutically acceptable carriers, or in the form of aqueous solutions, suspensions, elixirs or aqueous alcoholic solutions, for example, in admixture with sugar or other sweetening agents, flavoring agents, colorants, thickeners and other conventional pharmaceutical excipients. For parenteral administration, they can be administered in solutions or suspension, for example, as an aqueous or peanut oil solution or suspension using excipients and carriers conventional for this mode of administration. For administration as aerosols, they can be dissolved in a suitable pharmaceutically acceptable solvent, for example, ethyl alcohol or combinations of miscible solvents, and mixed with a pharmaceutically acceptable propellant. Such aerosol compositions are packaged for use in a pressurized container fitted with an aerosol valve suitable for release of the pressurized compositions. Preferably, the aerosol valve is a metered valve, that is one which on activation releases a predetermined effective dose of the aerosol composition.
In the practice of the invention, the dose of a compound of formula I or a salt thereof to be administered and the frequency of administration will be dependent on the potency and duration of activity of the particular compound of formula I or salt to be administered and on the route of administration, as well as the severity of the condition, age of the mammal to be treated and the like. Oral doses of a compound of formula I or a salt thereof contemplated for use in practicing the invention are in the range of from about 1 mg to about 1000 mg per day, preferably about 1 to about 250 mg either as a single dose or in divided doses.

The examples which follow further illustrate the invention. All temperatures are in degrees celsius unless otherwise stated.
