Description

The present invention provides disubstituted polymethylene-imines of the formula: ##STR3## in which:

A is selected from the group consisting of saturated hydrocarbon radical containing from 3 to 5 carbon atoms inclusive in straight and branched chain, the corresponding unsaturated hydrocarbon radicals containing one and two double bonds, and the corresponding mono- and di-hydroxy (saturated and unsaturated) hydrocarbon radicals;

X is selected from the group consisting of --CH-- and a nitrogen atom;

n is selected from the group consisting of zero and the integers 1 and 2;

Y is selected from the group consisting of an oxygen atom and a radical of the formula: N--R.sub.1 in which R.sub.1 is selected from the group consisting of: a hydrogen atom, alkyl and hydroxyalkyl radicals each having from 1 to 5 carbon atoms inclusive, alkenyl radicals having from 2 to 5 carbon atoms inclusive, cycloalkyl and cycloalkenyl radicals each having from 3 to 7 carbon atoms inclusive, and an acetyl radical,

R is selected from the group consisting of: a hydrogen atom, alkyl radicals having from 1 to 5 carbon atoms inclusive, cycloalkyl radicals having from 5 to 7 carbon atoms inclusive, an unsubstituted phenyl radical and phenyl radicals mono- and poly-substituted by a substituent selected from the group consisting of fluorine and chlorine atoms; and

B is selected from the group consisting of:

a hydrogen atom;

alkyl radical having from 1 to 5 carbon atoms inclusive;

alkenyl radicals having from 2 to 5 carbon atoms inclusive;

phenyl, naphthyl, benzofuranyl, benzothienyl, benzodioxolyl, benzodioxanyl, benzodioxinyl, .DELTA.3-chromenyl, thiochromenyl and chromanyl radicals and all these radicals mono- and poly-substituted by a substituent selected from the group consisting of: fluorine and chlorine atoms and alkyl and alkoxy radicals each having from 1 to 5 carbon atoms inclusive; and

a radical of the formula: ##STR4## in which R.sub.2, R.sub.3 and R.sub.4 which may be the same or different are each selected from the group consisting of: a hydrogen atom, an unsubstituted phenyl radical and phenyl radicals mono- and poly-substituted by a substituent selected from the group consisting of chlorine and fluorine atoms.

The present invention further provides a process for preparing the compounds of the formula I, in which:

a disubstituted polymethylene-imine of the general formula II: ##STR5## in which A, n, X, and Y have the definitions previously stated;

is condensed with a halo compound of the general formula III: ##STR6## in which R and B have the previously defined significance and Hal represents a halogen atom, such for example as a chlorine or bromine atom.

The condensation is preferably carried out in a solvent chosen from the benzene hydrocarbons with high boiling point such as toluene or xylene, the aliphatic amides such as dimethylformamide or dimethylacetamide, possibly mixed with a high boiling point benzene hydrocarbon, or methyl cyanide. It is advantageous to operate at a temperature between 120.degree. and 140.degree. C. in the presence of an acceptor of the hydracid formed during the reaction. This acceptor can be chosen from the alkaline carbonates such as potassium carbonate, triethylamine or an excess of polymethylene-imine of the formula II used for the condensation.

The present invention also provides the process for preparing the compounds of the general formula I': ##STR7## in which:

A, X, n, R and B are as previously defined and

Y' represents an oxygen atom or a radical --N--R'.sub.1 in which R'.sub.1 is selected from the group consisting of alkyl and hydroxy alkyl radicals each having from 1 to 5 carbon atoms inclusive, alkenyl radicals from 2 to 5 carbon atoms, and cycloalkyl and cycloalkenyl radicals each having from 3 to 7 carbon atoms and an acetyl radical inclusive,

characterised in that:

a halo compound of the general formula IV: ##STR8## in which A and X have the previously defined significances,

is condensed with a mono-substituted polymethylene-imine of the general formula V: ##STR9## in which n, R, Y', and B are as previously defined.

The condensation is carried out in a particularly adequate manner in a solvent chosen from the alcohols in C.sub.4 or C.sub.5 such as butanol or pentanol, and the aliphatic amides like dimethylformamide or dimethylacetamide. It is recommended to operate at a temperature between 120.degree. and 150.degree. C. in the presence of an acceptor of the hydracid formed in the course of the reaction. This acceptor can be chosen from an excess of the imine of the general formula V previously defined, triethylamine, or the alkaline carbonates such as potassium carbonate.

The present invention also provides the process for preparing the compounds of the general formula I": ##STR10## in which:

A, X, n, and B are as previously defined, and

R".sub.1 is selected from the group consisting of a hydrogen atom, alkyl and hydroxyalkyl radicals each having from 1 to 5 carbon atoms inclusive, alkenyl radicals having from 2 to 5 carbon atoms inclusive and cycloalkyl and cycloalkenyl radicals each having from 3 to 7 carbon atoms inclusive,

characterised in that:

the corresponding amide with the general formula VI: ##STR11## in which A, X, n, R".sub.1 and B are as previously defined, is reduced.

As reducing agent there can be used for example the double hydride of lithium aluminium: Li Al H.sub.4 or the hydride of boron: B.sub.2 H.sub.6.

A particularly suitable method of working consists in carrying out the reduction in a solvent such as tetrahydrofuran at a temperature between 20.degree. and 60.degree. C.

The present invention also provides the process for preparing the compounds of the general formula I'": ##STR12## in which:

A, X, n, R and B have the previously defined significances, characterised in that a mixture of the ketone of the formula VII: ##STR13## in which A, X and n are as previously defined and an amine of the formula VIII: ##STR14## in which R and B are as previously defined, is treated with sodium cyanoborohydride.

It is particularly advantageous to operate in a suitable solvent such for example as methanol or tetrahydrofuran at a temperature between 20.degree. and 25.degree. C., at a pH near to 6.

These new compounds so obtained can be converted into salts of addition with acids, salts which by this fact form part of the invention. As acids which may be used for the formation of these salts, there may be cited for example in the mineral series hydrochloric, hydrobromic, sulfuric, and phosphoric acids and in the organic series, acetic, propionic, maleic, fumaric, tartaric, nitric, oxalic, benzoic, methanesulfonic and isethionic acids.

These new compounds can be purified by physical methods such as crystallisation, chromatography, or chemical methods such as the formation of salts of addition with acids and decomposition of these salts by alkaline agents.

The raw materials utilised in the previously described processes are either known products, or products prepared starting from known substances, according to the processes described to prepare similar products as indicated in the following examples.

The compounds of the general formula I and their physiologically tolerable addition salts possess interesting pharmacological and therapeutical properties. In particular, they favour the capturing of oxygen and thus enable them to be used as a medicine, notably in the treatment of all kinds of tissular hypoxia.

These derivatives and their physiologically tolerable salts furthermore present a very weak toxicity.

The effect of these derivatives according to the invention on the oxygen pressure (PO.sub.2) has been studied in dogs anaesthetised with Nembutal. Blood samples are taken periodically 2, 5, 15, 45 and 75 minutes after the administration of the compounds under test; they serve for the determination of the pH, of the PO.sub.2 and of the PCO.sub.2.

The PO.sub.2 is measured on a radiometer BMS.sub.3 apparatus. The reading of the PO.sub.2 is done on this apparatus which has previously been calibrated with known values, by means of a platinum electrode, or a Clark electrode.

The products have been administered to the dog by intravenous route at the rate of 1 mg/kg and the determination of the percentage increase in the oxygen content of the arterial blood shows that this percentage, depending on the compounds, can reach up to 37%, 75 minutes after the administration of the compound.

The products of the present invention were also shown to be active in the treatment of anemic hypoxia induced by chemical route with a sub-cutaneous injection of NaNO.sub.2, according to Gibson G. E's method, Neurobiol. Aging 2, 165, (1981) and Biochem. Pharmacol. 28, 747, (1979) and in hypobaric hypoxia according to the technic of Legeai J. M. and als, Experientia 37, 292, (1981).

The present invention also provides the pharmaceutical compositions containing as active principle a compound of the general formula I or a physiologically tolerable salt thereof mixed or associated with a suitable pharmaceutical excipient.

It is particularly concerned with the forms containing doses from 20 to 100 mg of active principle.

The pharmaceutical composition so obtained are advantageously presented in the various dosed forms such for example as tablets, sugar-coated tablets, capsules, suppositories, injectable or drinkable solutions. They can be administered by oral, rectal or parenteral route at doses from 20 to 100 mg once to twice a day.

The following examples illustrate the invention without limiting it.
