Derivatives of 2-aminoalkyl-5-arylalkyl-1,3-dioxanes, their preparation and their therapeutic application

The present invention relates to derivatives of 2-aminoalkyl-5-arylalkyl-1,3-dioxanes, their preparation and their therapeutic application.
The invention provides a compound which is a 2-aminoalkyl-5-arylalkyl-1,3-dioxane of general formula (I) ##STR2## in which m represents 0 or 1;
n represents 1, 2, 3 or 4;
R.sub.1 represents hydrogen or methyl;
R.sub.2 represents hydrogen, methyl, or an alkanoyl group of the general formula COR' in which R' represents a hydrogen atom or a linear or branched C.sub.1 -C.sub.4 -alkyl group, or an alkoxycarbonyl group of the general formula COOR" in which R" represents a linear or branched C.sub.1 -C.sub.4 -alkyl group; and Ar represents either a phenyl group optionally carrying one or two substituents selected from halogen, C.sub.1 -C.sub.4 -alkyl, methoxy and trifluoromethyl, or a naphthalen-1-yl or naphthalen-2-yl group optionally carrying a substituent selected from halogen, methyl, methoxy and cyclopropylmethoxy, in the form of a cis- or trans-stereoisomer, and in the form of a free base or an acid addition salt thereof.
In a preferred embodiment of the invention, Ar represents chlorophenyl or an optionally substituted naphthalen-1-yl or naphthalen-2-yl group.
More preferably, Ar is naphthalen-1-yl optionally substituted with methoxy; n is 1 or 3; and any acid addition salt is the hydrochloride.
The invention further provides a process for the preparation of compounds of general formula (I), which comprises reacting a diol of the general formula (II) ##STR3## (in which m and Ar are as hereinbefore defined) with an acetal of the general formula (III) ##STR4## (in which n, R.sub.1 and R.sub.2 are as hereinbefore defined and R represents a C.sub.1 -C.sub.4 -alkyl group), which may be in the form of an acid addition salt, and if desired converting a free base of formula (I) into an acid addition salt.
The process of the invention is illustrated by the reaction scheme given below: ##STR5##
The reaction may be carried out in a solvent such as diethyl ether or benzene, at a temperature of from 20 to 80.degree. C., depending on the solvent used, and in the presence of paratoluenesulphonic acid and/or ethereal hydrogen chloride as a catalyst.
The diols of the general formula (II) are widely described in literature and can be prepared according to known methods.
Thus, when m=0, an acid of the general formula Ar-CH.sub.2 -COOH can be esterified, for example, by ethanol in the presence of thionyl chloride. The resulting ester, whicih is of the general formula ArCH.sub.2 COOC.sub.2 H.sub.5, can be reacted with ethyl carbonate in the presence of sodium ethoxide. Finally, the diester produced, whichis of the general formula ArCH(COOC.sub.2 H.sub.5).sub.2 can be reduced by sodium borohydride. When Ar represents a naphthalenyl group, the ester of the general formula ArCH.sub.2 COOC.sub.2 H.sub.5 can likewise be obtained starting from the corresponding 1,2,3,4-tetrahydronaphthalenone according to a process of which details are given in the examples. When m=1, a halogenated derivative of the general formula ArCH.sub.2 Cl can be reacted, for example, with diethyl malonate in the presence of sodium ethoxide. The diester produced, which is of the general formula ArCH.sub.2 CH(COOC.sub.2 H.sub.5).sub.2 can be reduced by lithium aluminium hydride.
The acetals of the general formula (III) are also well described in the literature, and can be prepared according to known methods; thus, for example, those in the geneal formula in which at least one of R.sub.1 and R.sub.2 is not a hydrogen atom can be prepared starting from an amine of the general formula (III) in which R.sub.1 and R.sub.2 both represent a hydrogen atom, according to known methods of alkylation or of preparation of amides or carbamates.
Similar known methods can also be used to convert a compound of the general formula (I) in which R.sub.1 and R.sub.2 both represent a hydrogen atom into another compound in which at least one of R.sub.1 and R.sub.2 is not a hydrogen atom.
The following Examples illustrate in detail the preparation of some compounds according to the invention. The elemental microanalysis and the IR and NMR spectra confirm the structures of the products obtained.

The compounds of the invention have been the subject of pharmacological tests which have demonstrated their therapeutic properties.
In these tests, their potential anticonvulsive activity has been tested in different experimental models in the mouse (convulsions caused by maximal electroshock and mortality induced either by bicuculline, or by strychnine), according to the protocols described by E. A. Swinyard and J. H. Woodhead in "Experimental detection, quantification and evaluation of anticonvulsants" (Antiepileptic Drugs, D. M. Woodbury, J. K. Penry and C. E. Pippenger (Eds), Raven Press, New York, pp. 111-125 (1982)).
In these models, the most active compounds have an AD.sub.50 (active dose which inhibits 50% of the convulsions or the mortality induced by the different convulsive agents) of the order of 20 mg/kg when administered intraperitoneally and of the order of 40 mg/kg when administered orally.
The compounds have likewise been the subject of another test, described by C. Fleury in "Nouvelle technique pour mesurer l'effort musculaire de la souris, dite test de l'agrippement" [Novel technique for measuring the muscular effort of the mouse, called the gripping test], (Arch. Sci. (Geneva), 10, 107-113 (1957)). The most active compounds in this test have no effect at the maximum tested dose of 600 mg/kg when administered orally.
Finally, another test, called the rota rod test, described by N. W. Dunham and T. S. Miya in "A note on a simple apparatus for detecting neurological deficit in rats and mice", (J. Am. Pharm. Assoc., 46, 208-209 (1957)), has shown that the compounds of the invention do not present any neurotoxic signs at the maximum tested dose of 400 mg/kg when administered orally.
The results of the tests show that, through their anticonvulsive properties, the compounds of the invention could be used for the treatment of epilepsy. The treatment of other ailments, such as spasticity, dyskinesias, depression, can likewise be envisaged.
For this purpose, they can be formulated as pharmaceutical compositions in which they are the active ingredient. They can be presented in all pharmaceutical forms permitting their enteral or parenteral administration, in association with appropriate excipients, such as tablets, coated tablets, capsules including hard gelatin capsules, suppositories, drinkable or injectable solutions and suspensions, divided into doses permitting a dosage of 5 to 15 mg/kg of active substance per day.
