Esters of 2-[(4-quinolyl)amino]-benzoic acids

The present invention relates to esters of 2-[(4-quinolyl)amino]-benzoic acids and their addition salts with pharmaceutically tolerated acids, their preparation, and medicines containing them.
Such compounds are described in French application Ser. No. 72/02,035 filed by Synthelabo on Jan. 21, 1972. They can be used as analgesic and anti-inflammatory medicines.
The present invention provides new 2-[(4-quinolyl)-amino]-benzoic acid essters which have markedly improved therapeutic properties. These compounds have the formula ##SPC2##
In which R.sub.1 represents a chlorine atom or a CF.sub.3 or SCF.sub.3 group, and R.sub.2 represents a phenyl radical which is unsubstituted or substituted by one or two substituents chosen from Cl, CH.sub.3, CF.sub.3, OCF.sub.3 and SCF.sub.3, provided that the phenyl radical is substituted when R.sub.1 represents a chlorine atom. The invention also provides the addition salts of the compounds of formula (I) with pharmaceutically tolerated acids.
The compounds of the invention are prepared by a transesterification reaction, which may be represented by the following equation: ##SPC3##
In these formulae R.sub.1 and R.sub.2 have the meanings given above and R represents an allyl radical or, when R.sub.1 represents SCF.sub.3, a methyl radical. The transesterification is advantageously carried out at the boiling point of an apolar solvent, for example, an aromatic hydrocarbon such as benzene, toluene, or xylene, in the presence of an alkali metal alcoholate and/or an alkali metal which reacts with the alcohol of the formula (III).
The compounds of the invention can also be prepared by a condensation in accordance with the following equation: ##SPC4##
In these formulae, R.sub.1 and R.sub.2 have the meanings given above and X represents a halogen atom, and preferably chlorine. This condensation is advantageously carried out at the reflux temperature of a polar solvent, and in particular in an optionally acidified aqueous medium.
The following Examples illustrate the invention. The compounds of Examples 1 to 20 were prepared by the transesterification process and those of Examples 21 to 26 by the condensation process.

2. Test using a plate heated by acetone vapours, carried out on Swiss mice, in accordance with the description by Woolfe (J. Pharmacol. Exp.

The results obtained in the Siegmund test, which demonstrates analgesic effects of the peripheral type, show that the compounds of the invention (72- 242, 72- 244, 72- 248, 72-391, 73- 017, 73- 018, 73- 033, 73- 045, 73- 046, 73-047, 73- 048, 73- 051, SLB 179, 180, 181 and 182) are generally much more active than the well-known analgesic agents used for comparison purposes (amidopyrine and glafenine).
In the heated plate test, which demonstrates analgesic effects of the central type, the compounds (72- 391, 73- 017, 73- 018, 73- 033, 73- 045 and SLB 179) show an activity which is greater than that of amidopyrine. This greater activity is considerable in the case of the compounds 73- 017, 73- 018 and 73- 033. In the case of the other compounds of the invention, the central component is, as in the case of glafenine, much less strong.
ANTI-INFLAMMATORY ACTIVITY
This activity was determined by the test involving oedema of the paw, induced in Sherman rats by the method of Winter and colleagues (Proc. Soc. Exp. Biol. Med., 1962, 111, 544). The results are summarised in Table IV.

These results show that the compounds of the invention have anti-inflammatory effects. These effects, which never exceed those of phenylbutazone administered at the same dosage, must be considered by taking into account the analgesic activity of the compounds of the invention which manifests itself at doses very much lower than the anti-inflammatory doses.
These experimental data show that the invention provides compounds having a very marked dissociation between analgesic and anti-inflammatory properties, in favour of the analgesic activity. This dissociation is of great value when it is considered that anti-inflammatory activity is frequently associated with mediocre or distinctly poor tolerance by the mucous membranes of the digestive tract.
Finally, and surprisingly, the toxicity of the majority of the compounds of the invention virtually does not increase at all with their activity, so that their therapeutic index is very much greater than that of glafenine.
The results show that the compounds of the invention can be used in human and veterinary therapy, and especially in the treatment of various algias, especially if they accompany inflammatory affections. The method of administration can be oral, rectal or parenteral, the active substances being used in conjunction with the usual excipients for these pharmaceutical forms. In the case of oral administration, for which tablets, dragees, capsules, gelatine-coated pills, potable solutions and the like, are used, the unit dose is 20 to 200 mg, the maximum daily dosage being 1 g. In the case of rectal administration, these figures are, respectively, from 50 to 400 mg. and 1 g. and in the case of parenteral administration, they are, respectively, from 10 to 50 mg. and 0.5 g.
The invention accordingly includes within its scope pharmaceutical compositions comprising, in association with a compatible pharmaceutically acceptable diluent, a compound of formula I or a pharmaceutically tolerated acid addition salt thereof.
