These compounds may be utilized either as the free bases or in the form of a pharmaceutically acceptable salt with an organic or inorganic acid or base. The invention also contemplates a method for lowing serum lipids and for ameliorating atherosclerosis in mammals by the administration of said esters.
BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION
Considerable effort has been directed in recent years to obtain substances useful in counteracting the consequences of hyperlipidemia, a condition involving elevated cholesterol, phospholipid and/or triglyceride levels in the blood, and of hyperlipoproteinemia, involving an imbalance of the lipoproteins. The most serious condition associated with hyperlipidemia and hyperlipoproteinemia is atherosclerosis, a form of arteriosclerosis characterized by lipid accumulation and thickening of the walls of both medium-sized and large arteries such as the aorta. Their walls are thereby weakened and the elasticity and effective internal size of the arteries decreased. Atherosclerosis, the most common cause of coronary artery disease, is of great medical importance since it tends to occlude those arteries supplying blood to the heart muscles and brain, thereby producing permanent damage to these organs. Such damage may lead to ischemic heart disease, congestive heart failure, life-threatening arrhythmias, senility, or stroke. Involvement of leg arteries may lead to gangrene and loss of the limb. It has been known for more than 100 years that cholesterol is a major component of atherosclerotic lesions or plaques. Investigators have been trying to determine the role of cholesterol in lesion initiation and development and also, most importantly, whether lesion formation can be prevented or reversed and enlargement of lesions be slowed or stopped. The earliest lesions are now known to be fatty streaks, largely of cholesterol, which often progress in stages to plaques containing cellular, fibrous and calcified material in addition to the lipids.
The evidence that hyperlipidemia is one of the factors involved in coronary heart disease is very impressive. A most important study carried out in Framingham, Mass. (Gordon and Verter, 1969) in over 5,000 persons for more than 12 years established a correlation between high concentrations of blood cholesterol and increased risk of heart attack. Although the causes of coronary artery disease are multiple, one of the most constant factors has been the elevated concentration of lipids in the blood plasma. A combined elevation of cholesterol and triglycerides has been shown (Carlson and Bottiger, 1972) to carry the highest risk of coronary heart disease. The majority of patients with ischemic heart disease or peripheral vascular disease were found to have hyperlipoproteinemia, involving very low-density and/or low-density lipoproteins (Lewis et al. 1974).
The reason for most treatment of hyperlipidemia or hyperlipoproteinemia is for arresting, reversing or preventing atherosclerosis. In the past, attempts have been made to lower the levels of cholesterol, phospholipids, and triglycerides in the blood by the oral feeding of various substances which have been generally referred to in the art as hypolipidemic agents or hypocholesteremic adjuvants. Typical of such substances are lecithin, pectin, cottonseed oil, and the mucilaginous substances listed in U.S. Pat. No. 3,148,114. In addition, several synthetic hypolipidemic agents are now available, namely, clofibrate, D-thyroxine, cholestyramine and nicotinic acid [Levy and Frederickson, Postgraduate Medicine 47, 130 (1970)]. Clofibrate has the undesirable side-effect of causing hypertrophy of the liver in some patients.
The development of agents capable of reducing elevated blood lipids and of favorably altering blood-lipoprotein patterns is considered by medical authorities to be extremely important for the treatment and prevention of atherosclerosis. Orally active agents are required since patients usually take them for a number of years.
DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION
The compounds of this invention are new and novel esters of the 4-alkylaminobenzoic acids described in U.S. Pat. No. 3,868,416 and have therapeutically useful biological and pharmacological properties. No hypolipemic activity has been reported in the literature for these compounds and they are different in structure and superior in action to other hypolipemic agents. The compounds of this invention lower serum-lipid concentrations and also decrease the deposition of lipids in the aorta. Esters such as these of hydroxy alkanoic acids, phenols, and 3-pyridinols are designed to facilitate the intestinal absorptive process and to provide a reliable and high degree of absorption following the oral administration required of hypolipidemic agents. To the extent that the .alpha.-OH carboxylic esters are hydrolyzed in the body they have the added advantage, relative to other esters, of producing hydroxyacids which are innocuous and are in many cases natural products or natural components of mammalian physiological processes. The novel esters of this invention are more reliably absorbed from the gastrointestinal tract than the carboxylic acids and many other esters. Also they cause less gastrointestinal irritation than the corresponding carboxylic acids.
We have now found that certain members of this class of compound can safely and effectively lower both serum sterols and triglycerides in warm-blooded mammals. Such actions on serum-lipid components are considered to be very useful in the treatment of atherosclerosis, especially in contrast to available drugs whose action is much more limited. For some time it has been considered to lower serum-lipid levels and to correct lipoprotein imbalance in mammals as a preventive measure against atherosclerosis. The compounds of the present invention do not act by blocking late stages of cholesterol biosyntheses and thus do not produce accumulation of intermediates such as desmosterol, as equally undesirable as cholesterol itself. Compounds with the combination of therapeutically favorable characteristics possessed by those of the present invention can be safely administered to warm-blooded mammals for the treatment of hyperlipidemic and atherosclerotic states found in patients with or prone to heart attacks, to peripheral or cerebral vascular disease, and to stroke.
The 4-(monoalkylamino)benzoate esters of the present invention are, in general, white crystalline solids having characteristic melting points and absorption spectra. They are soluble in organic solvents such as lower alkanols, chloroform, toluene, dimethylformamide, and the like but are generally not very soluble in water.
The novel 4-(monoalkylamino)benzoate esters of the present invention which are organic bases may be converted to their non-toxic acid-addition salts with a variety of pharmaceutically acceptable organic and inorganic salt-forming reagents. Thus, acid-addition salts may be formed by admixture of the organic free base in a neutral solvent with one or two equivalents of an acid such as sulfuric, phosphoric, hydrochloric, hydrobromic, trifluoroacetic, citric, tartaric, ascorbic, and the like. The esters which contain acidic groups form pharmaceutically acceptable salts with bases such as the alkali metals, the alkaline earths, and the like.
The novel compounds of the present invention may be readily prepared by treating an acid halide, mixed acid anhydride, or activated ester of the formulae: ##STR2## wherein X is chloro or bromo, R.sub.4 is an activated ester or amide moiety or an acyl group and R.sub.1 is as hereinabove defined with a hydroxy compound of the formula: HOR.sub.3 wherein R.sub.3 is as hereinabove defined. These reactions are preferably carried out in an inert solvent at a temperature of 25.degree.-125.degree. C. for a period of time from about 30 minutes to 18 hours or more. In the case of the acid halide and other acid-forming acylating agents, the reaction is carried out in the presence of an acid scavenger such as diisopropylethylamine, 4-dimethylaminopyridine, pyridine, triethylamine, finely powdered sodium carbonate, and the like. The acid halide and anhydride starting materials may be obtained from the corresponding 4-(monoalkylamino)benzoic acids by methods which are well-known in the art or described herein. However, a protecting group Y on the arylamino nitrogen is used for best results. The simplest protecting group is provided by double protonation of the amine to give an anilinium salt prior to or during formation of the acylating agent. Acylation of this amino group by carefully selected acyl groups such as carbobenzyloxy, carbo-to-butoxy, and trifluoroacetyl provides protection of this group from self-acylation during amide formation. These protecting groups are then removed by catalytic hydrogenation, mild acid treatment, and mild alkali treatment, respectively. Activated esters or amides, which are used to synthesize the esters of the present invention, are carboxymethyl, 4-nitrophenyl, N-oxysuccinimide, 1-imidazolyl and the like. In certain cases, treatment of acids or ordinary esters such as methyl or ethyl with an excess of an appropriate hydroxy-containing substrate in the presence of a Lewis or mineral acid such as boron trifluoride, sulfuric acid, or hydrochloric acid is sufficient to convert the 4-(monoalkylamino)benzoic esters or acids to the appropriate esters.
With certain kinds of substances for ester formation, it is necessary to form the alkali metal or strong organic base salts of the 4-(monoalkylamino)benzoic acids in order to react them with the various aforementioned halo-, methanesulfonate- or p-toluenesulfonate-containing substrates. With certain .beta.-carbonyl esters, it is necessary to preform the enol alcohol salt with an appropriate base such as sodium or potassium hydroxide, the alkali carbonates, or certain tertiary amines such as triethylamine, diisopropylethylamine, N,N-dimethylbenzylamine or the like, or in some cases, the copper salt of the enol form of the .beta.-carbonyl ester can be employed to react with a suitably protected 4-(alkylamino)-benzoic acid, activated for acylation, to form unsubstituted or substituted .beta.-acrylates.
Certain 4-(monoalkylamino)benzoate esters may be prepared by the reaction of 4-(monoalkylamino)benzoic acids with diazoalkyl compounds such as ethyl diazoacetate and the like, obtained by reaction of nitrous acid or alkyl nitrite on .alpha.- or .beta.-aminoalkanoate esters.
The 4-(monoalkylamino)benzoate esters are also prepared by reaction of the appropriate 4-aminobenzoate esters with suitable alkylating agents such as alkyl halides, sulfates, tosylates or trifluoromethanesulfonates with or without solvent at 50.degree. C.-150.degree. C. Suitable solvents are lower alkanols, chloroform, N,N-dimethylformamide, N,N-dimethylacetamide, diglyme, dimethylsulfoxide, acetonitrile, toluene, benzene, hexamethylphosphoramide and the like. The reaction may be carried out with an equivalent of base such as an alkali carbonate or bicarbonate, or with a catalytic amount of copper powder when alkyl halides are used as the alkylating agent.
Alternative methods of preparation are by reductive alkylation of a 4-aminobenzoate ester or by a metal hydride reduction of a 4-(acylamino)benzoate ester. For example, n-hexadecanal and ethyl O-[(4-aminobenzoyl)]glycolate are reduced under 1-10 atmospheres of hydrogen using an activated metal catalyst, forming ethyl [4-(hexadecylamino)benzoyl]glycolate. Diborane reduction of certain 4-(hexadecanoylamino)benzoate esters at room temperature or above for 1-16 hours yields the corresponding 4-(hexadecylamino)benzoate esters.
Two types of substitution reactions also yield the 4-(monoalkylamino)benzoate esters, firstly, reaction of esters of 3,4-didehydrobenzoic acid with an alkylamine (or its alkali metal salt). Friedel-Crafts acylation of an N-alkylaniline or N-acyl-N-alkylaniline also yields certain 4-(monoalkylamino)benzoate esters or intermediates thereto. The former type of reaction is carried out by treating a 4-halobenzoate ester such as phenyl 4-bromobenzoate with the lithium, potassium or sodium salt of excess alkylamine such as n-hexadecylamine in diethyl ether or other aprotic solvent. The second method comprises reacting N-hexadecylaniline and the like or its N-acetyl derivative with a carboalkoxy chloride and anhydrous aluminum chloride in dry diethyl ether, halocarbon or hydrocarbon medium.
The 4-(monoalkylamino)benzoate esters are also prepared by de-acylation of the corresponding 4-(N-trifluoroacetyl-alkylamino)benzoate ester by reacting with an alkali carbonate such as sodium or potassium carbonate in a lower alkanol, water or an aqueous lower alkanol at 5.degree. C. to 50.degree. C. Alternatively, the 4-(monoalkylamino)benzoate esters may be prepared by de-acylation of the 4-(N-carbo-t-butoxy-N-alkylamino)benzoate ester with mineral acids such as hydrochloric or hydrobromic acid, preferably in glacial acetic acid or with anhydrous trifluoroacetic acid at 0.degree. C. to 50.degree. C. Also, the 4-(monoalkylamino)benzoate esters are prepared by removal of the carbobenzyloxy protecting group from the anilino nitrogen atom by means of catalytic hydrogenation or treatment with a mineral acid such as hydrobromic acid, preferably in glacial acetic acid.
Certain derivatives ##STR3## of the aminobenzoyl nitrogen atom are useful for providing greater solubility, more uniform and reliable intestinal absorption, and for a certain amount of modification of the pharmacology of the compounds of the present invention. Some of these derivatives can be converted to the corresponding N--H forms by the acidity of the stomach or the alkalinity of the small intestine. Others are converted by metabolic processes. The methyl and carboxymethyl derivatives and the like are prepared by the alkylation, reductive alkylation, and acylamino reduction methods above. Derivatives such as the acetyl and succinyl compounds may be prepared using acetyl chloride, acetic anhydride, succinic anhydride, etc. in the presence of pyridine, triethylamine or the like. The 1-(sodium sulfo)alkyl derivatives are obtained by reaction of the 4-(monoalkylamino)benzoate esters, or suitable intermediates in certain cases, with sodium bisulfite and an aliphatic aldehyde or a polyhydroxyaldehyde such as glyceraldehyde or glucose, and the 1,3-bis-(sodium sulfo)aralkyl derivatives from cinnamaldehyde in a mixed organic-aqueous medium.
The glyceric acid esters of the present invention are prepared by careful oxidation of the 4-(alkylamino)benzoyl glyceraldehyde esters; they can also be prepared directly by esterification of glyceric acid or by reactions using its 3-chloro or 2,3-epoxide analogs. The .alpha.-[4-(alkylamino)benzoyloxy]alkanoylamides can be prepared by reacting the appropriately protected and activated 4-(alkylamino)benzoic acid with a cyanohydrin followed by acidic hydrolysis, or by amination of an appropriate ester such as methyl or ethyl with a mono or dialkylamine, preferably in an alcoholic solvent. The amides can also be prepared by reacting the appropriate amide with an activated carboxylate ester.
The .alpha.-[4-(alkylamino)benzoyloxy]propionates are prepared by catalytic reduction at 1 to 10 atmospheres of hydrogen of the corresponding acrylate derivatives. They can also be prepared by treatment of .beta.-halo, .beta.-methanesulfonate, or .beta.-p-toluenesulfonate alkanoates with the alkali salt of a 4-(alkylamino)benzoic acid in an inert solvent at 25.degree. to 100.degree. C.
The novel compounds of the present invention are not only potent hypolipidemic agents but also prevent or diminish the formation or enlargement or arterial plaques in mammals when administered in amounts ranging from about one milligram to about 250 mg. per kilogram of body weight per day. A preferred dosage regimen for optimum results would be from about 5 mg. to about 100 mg. per kilogram of body weight per day, and such dosage units are employed that a total of from about 0.35 gram to about 7.0 grams of the active compound for a subject of about 70 kg. of body weight are administered in a 24-hour period. This dosage regimen may be adjusted to provide the optimum therapeutic response . For example, several divided doses may be administered daily or the dose may be proportionally reduced as indicated by the exigencies of the therapeutic situation. A decided practical advantage of this invention is that the active compound may be administered in a convenient manner by the oral route. The compounds of the present invention exert a more powerful hypocholesteremic and antiatherosclerotic effect than the aforementioned adjuvants and synthetic medicaments. It is not known how these novel compounds operate in the blood serum and no theory of why these compounds so operate is advanced. It is not intended that the present invention should be limited to any particular mechanism of action of lowering serum lipids or of meliorating atherosclerosis, or be limited to compounds acting by only one mechanism.
The active compounds of the present invention may be orally administered, for example, with an inert diluent or with an assimilable edible carrier, or they may be enclosed in hard or soft shell gelatin capsules, or they may be compressed into tablets, or they may be incorporated directly with the food of the diet. For oral therapeutic administration, the active compounds may be incorporated with excipients and used in the form of ingestible tables, buccal tablets, troches, capsules, elixirs, suspensions, syrups, wafers, and the like. Such compositions and preparations should contain at least 0.1% of active compound. The percentage of the compositions and preparations may, of course, be varied and may conveniently be between about 2 to about 60% of the weight of the unit. The amount of active ingredient in such therapeutically useful compositions is such that a suitable dosage will be obtained. Preferred compositions or preparations according to the present invention are prepared so that an oral dosage unit form contains between about 50 and 250 milligrams of active compound.
The tablets, troches, pills, capsules and the like may also contain the following: a binder such as gum tragacanth, acacia, corn starch or gelatin; excipients such as dicalcium phosphate; a disintegrating agent such as corn starch, potato starch, alginic acid and the like; a lubricant such as magnesium stearate; and a sweetening agent such as sucrose, lactose or saccharin may be added or a flavoring agent such as peppermint, oil of wintergreen, or cherry flavoring. When the dosage unit form is a capsule, it may contain, in addition to materials of the above type, a liquid carrier. Various other materials may be present as coatings or to otherwise modify the physical form of the dosage unit. For instance, tablets, pills, or capsules may be coated with shellac, sugar or both. A syrup or elixir may contain the active compound, sucrose as a sweetening agent, methyl and propylparabens as preservatives, a dye, and flavoring such as cherry or orange flavor. Of course, any material used in preparing any dosage unit form should be pharmaceutically pure and substantially non-toxic in the amounts employed. In addition, the active ingredients may be incorporated into sustained-release preparations and formulations.
