Description

To the best of our knowledge the compounds of the present invention have not heretofore been described or suggested.
Compounds of the formula ##STR4## in which X is sulfur, oxymethylene, thiamethylene, thiaethylene, iminomethylene, propylene-1,3 or alkylated iminomethylene, R.sub.1 is hydrogen, lower alkyl, halogen, alkoxy, trifluoromethyl or alkyl mercapto and R.sub.2, R.sup.3 and R.sup.4 are each hydrogen or lower alkyl, described by W. Winter et al. in U.S. Pat. No. 3,639,423, are outside the scope of this invention. The same applies to the compounds of the formula ##STR5## where R.sup.1 is H and R.sup.2 is --O(CH.sub.2).sub.2 N(CH.sub.3).sub.2, ##STR6## OH, and Cl or R.sup.1 and R.sup.2 together are .dbd.CH--(CH.sub.2).sub.2 N(CH.sub.3).sub.2 or .dbd.O. These compounds are described by I. Jerkovsky et al., Collection Czechoslov. Chem. Commun. Vol. 32, 3448 (1967). The same applies to compounds of the formula ##STR7## where R is H, .dbd.O, OH,.dbd.NOH, --Cl, ##STR8## as described by V. Seidlova et al., Mh. Chem. 96, 650 (1965).
The compounds of the present invention have the general formula ##STR9## wherein R is ##STR10## where R.sup.4 is hydrogen or alkyl; R.sup.1 is hydrogen or alkyl; R.sup.2 and R.sup.3 are the same or different and are hydrogen, alkyl, or R.sup.2 and R.sup.3 are fused to form a pyrrolidino, morpholino, piperidino or azepino ring substituent; Y is hydrogen, halogen and alkoxy; X is --CH.sub.2 O--, --CH.sub.2 S-- and ##STR11## where R.sup.4 is as defined above; m is an integer of 0 or 1; and n is an integer of 2 or 3.
In the above definitions the terms "alkyl," "alkoxy" mean the group it is describing contains from 1 to 6 carbon atoms. The term "alkyl" refers to a straight or branched chain hydrocarbon containing no unsaturation. The term "alkoxy" refers to a monovolent substituent which consists of an alkyl group linked through an ether oxygen having its free valence bond from the ether oxygen. The "halogen" refers to a member of the family consisting of fluorine, chlorine, bromine and iodine.
The compounds of the present invention are prepared in the following manner. The substituents R, R.sup.1, R.sup.2, R.sup.3, R.sup.4, X and Y and the members m and n are as defined earlier.
A toluic acid having the formula ##STR12## is esterified in the presence of an acid, such as H.sub.2 SO.sub.4, by reaction with an alcohol containing 1 to 4 carbon atoms in a conventional manner, to form an alkyl ester of a toluic acid having the structural formula ##STR13## Compound II is halogenated, as for example by reaction with N-bromosuccinimide, to form an alkyl ester of an .alpha.-bromotoluic acid having the formula ##STR14## Compound III is reacted with a phenol or thiophenol of the formula ##STR15## where Z is O or S to form Compound V, having the structural formula ##STR16## Typically, Compound III is reacted with Compound IV in the presence of an alcoholate, e.g., NaOC.sub.2 H.sub.5, followed by hydrolysis of the ester group by treatment with a base, e.g., KOH, under conventional ester hydrolysis conditions.
Compound V is cyclized by treatment with a conventional dehydrating agent, such as polyphosphoric acid, ethanol-phosphoric pentoxide, sulfuric acid, trifluoroacetic anhydride, etc., with or without a solvent such as tetramethylene sulfone or acetic acid, to form a dibenzoxepin or a dibenzthiepin having the formula ##STR17## Great Britain Patent Specification No. 1,538,775 and U.S. Pat. No. 4,000,288 generally reveal adequate procedures and conditions for compounds analogous to Compound VI which procedures and conditions can be generally used to practice the synthesis of Compound VI.
The carbonyl group of the dibenzoxepin or dibenzthiepin (Compound VI) is reduced by reaction with a suitable reducing agent, e.g., NaBH.sub.4, under conventional conditions to form Compound VII having the structural formula ##STR18## Compound VII in turn is reacted with a suitable halogenating agent, e.g., SOCl.sub.2, to form a halogen substituted compound VIII having the formula ##STR19## Compound VIII is converted to a cyanide by reaction with CuCN in a suitable solvent, e.g., benzene, to form Compound IX having the structural formula ##STR20##
Compound IX may be subjected to solvolysis by treatment with a base, e.g., KOH, NaOH, etc., or an acid, e.g., HCl, H.sub.2 SO.sub.4, polyphosphoric acid, etc., under conventional conditions to form a compound having the structural formula ##STR21## Alternatively, Compound IX may be reacted in a conventional manner with an alcohol R.sup.4 OH in the presence of water and a suitable catalyst, e.g., hydrogen chloride, hydrogen bromide, hydrogen iodide, sulfuric acid, benzene sulfonic acid monohydrate, p-toluene sulfonic acid monohydrate, to form Compound XI having the structural formula ##STR22##
Compounds IX, X and XI are reacted with a halide having the structural formula ##STR23## in the presence of a base such as sodium hydride to form the compounds of the invention having the general formula ##STR24## Typically this reaction is carried out in the presence of a suitable solvent, e.g. DMF.
To form the N-oxide, Compound XIII is typically reacted with a suitable oxidizing agent, e.g., a peracid compound such as m-chloroperbenzoic acid, to form Compound XIV of the invention having the structural formula ##STR25##
In an alternative procedure, Compound I can be obtained in the following manner. A substituted ortho-toluidine of the structural formula ##STR26## is selected. The cyanide thereof, ##STR27## is prepared in a conventional manner, as by first diazotization, e.g., by reaction with a suitable cyanide such as CuCN. The cyanide group of Compound XVI is converted to carboxyl by hydrolysis in the presence of a base, e.g., KOH, to form Compound I.
Morphanthridone compounds of the invention having the structural formula ##STR28## are prepared in the following manner.
A cyanide substituted morphanthridone having the structural formula ##STR29## is prepared in a manner described by J. Ackermann, et al, Can.J.Chem. 47, 4327 (1969). Compound XVIII may be subjected to solvolysis by treatment with a base or an acid, as described above, to form Compound XIX, having the formula ##STR30## Alternatively Compound XVIII may be reacted in a conventional manner with an alcohol such as R.sup.4 OH in the presence of water and a suitable catalyst, as described above, to form Compound XX having the structural formula ##STR31##
Compounds XVIII, XIX and XX are reacted with a halide, ##STR32## to form the compounds of the invention having the general formula ##STR33##
To form the N-oxide, Compound XXI is typically reacted with a suitable oxidizing agent, e.g., a peracid, such as m-chloroperbenzoic acid, as described above, to form a compound having the structural formula ##STR34##
The compounds of the present invention are useful as diuretics. The diuretic activity of the compounds is measured in the following manner.
Groups of female Wistar rats (150-200 grams) are used and they are food deprived 16 hours prior to testing. Drugs are prepared in 1% saline and administered in a dosage volume of 15 ml/kg orally. After dosing each animal is placed in an individual metabolic cage. Water is permitted ad libitum. Urine is collected from 0-5 hours after dosing.
Each test consists of a vehicle control, a positive control group of urea treated (1000 mg/kg) and the potential diuretic agent (50 mg/kg) treated.
The individual urine samples are analyzed for sodium and/or potassium and chloride. Sodium and potassium values are typically determined using a flame photometer. Chloride determinations are typically made by a chloride analyzer. Sodium, potassium and chloride values are expressed as the mean milliequivalents (mEq)/kg/5 hrs. Diuresis is expressed as the mean milliliters (ml)/kg/5 hrs.
The mean values obtained for sodium, potassium, chloride and diuresis are expressed in a ratio to the sodium, potassium, chloride and diuresis values obtained for the urea treated group. This ratio is called the "drug to urea ratio." A drug to urea ratio greater than or equal to one for diuresis and/or sodium is indicative of diuretic activity.
The diuretic effect of some of the compounds of the invention, expressed as the ratio of (a) the mean values obtained for diuresis (urine volume) of the compound treated group to the urea treated group and (b) the mean values obtained for sodium of the compound treated group to the urea treated group, are given in Table I.
