Ethynylbenzene compounds and derivatives thereof

SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION
This invention describes novel ethynylbenzene compounds and derivatives and their use in therapeutic compositions. In addition, this invention describes the preparation of these ethynylbenzene compounds and their derivatives. When the compounds of this invention are administered to mammals, they afford significant treatment for the relief of inflammation and associated pain and fever.
They further provide analgesic and antipyretic methods for the relief and treatment of pain and fever.
BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION
Continued studies have been carried out during the last decade to develop drugs which would significantly inhibit the development of inflammation and relieve pain and fever as well as the pain and fever associated with inflammation. While much of this effort has been carried out in the steroid field, there have been compounds developed which are non-steroidal but all of this type are acidic in nature, e.g., arylalkanoic acids, heterylalkanoic acids, pyrazolidinediones. While many of these compounds have been found to be effective, they have had the drawback of causing various side effects, in particular, gastric hemorrhage and ulceration.
I have unexpectedly found that ethynylbenzene compounds have pharmacological properties which are useful for the relief and inhibition of inflammation conditions and are neutral substances.
I have also found that the compounds of this invention are effective in the treatment of inflammation and the control of arthritic conditions associated with inflammation, without producing gastric hemorrhage or ulceration commonly associated with anti-inflammatory agents.
I have further found that the ethynylbenzene compounds and derivatives of this invention are novel.
I have also found that the compounds of this invention possess useful analgesic and antipyretic properties and are useful in the treatment of pain and fever.
I have still further found an entirely new class of antiinflammatory, analgesic and antipyretic pharmaceutical compositions which contain an ethynylbenzene compound derivative thereof as active ingredient.
I have also found a convenient method for synthesizing these compounds.

The compounds of this invention may be prepared by the following general procedures.
Condensation of a substituted benzene compound with a loweralkyl or aralkyl oxalyl chloride in the presence of anhydrous aluminum chloride results in a p-substitutedphenylglyoxylate. The loweralkyl or aralkyl esters of the p-substitutedphenyl glyoxylic acid may be halogenated or nitrated to obtain the corresponding loweralkyl esters of a 3-halo-4-substitutedphenylglyoxylic acid or a 3-nitro-4 -substitutedphenylglyoxylic acid. Chlorination or bromination may be carried out in the presence of a small amount of iodine dissolved in an inert solvent such as carbon tetrachloride. A solution of chlorine or bromine is then added while the temperature is held near 0.degree. C. Nitration is carried out with fuming nitric acid at about 0.degree. C. The following reaction equations illustrate this method: ##STR5## where R is as described above and Hal is chloro.
Appropriately desired end products having various Y and Y' substituents can be prepared by using suitable reactions in order to convert one group to another. Thus, for example, a 3-halo-4-substitutedphenylglyoxylate in which halo is chloro, bromo or iodo may be:
(a) reacted with cuprous cyanide in quinoline at about 150.degree. C. to produce a 3-cyano-4-substitutedphenylglyoxylate;
(b) reacted with trifluoromethyliodide and copper powder at about 150.degree. C. in dimethylformamide to obtain a 3-trifluoromethyl-4-substitutedphenylglyoxylate: [as described in Tetrahedron Letters: 47, 4095 (1959)];
(c) reacted with cuprous methanesulfinate in quinoline at about 150.degree. C. to obtain a 3-methylsulfonyl-4-substitutedphenylglyoxylate.
A 3-nitro-4-substitutedphenylglyoxylate may be selectively hydrogenated to the corresponding amine.
A 3-amino-4-substitutedphenylglyoxylate may then be:
(a) mono- or dialkylated with loweralkyl halides or sulfates or acylated with loweracyl chlorides or anhydrides;
(b) diazotized to the diazonium fluoroborate which is then thermally decomposed to the 3-fluoro-4-substitutedphenylglyoxylate,
(c) diazotized and heated in an aqueous medium to form the 3-hydroxy-4-substitutedphenylglyoxylate or heated in an alcohol to form the 3-alkoxy-4-substitutedphenylglyoxylate. The hydroxyl group may also be alkylated with loweralkyl halides or sulfates to the alkoxyl group or acylated with loweracyl chlorides or anhydrides to the acyloxy compound in the presence of a tertiary amine such as pyridine,
(d) diazotized followed by a Sandmeyer type reaction to yield the halo group,
(e) diazotized and heated with an aqueous solution of potassium iodide to prepare the 3-iodo-4-substitutedphenylglyoxylate,
(f) diazotized and followed by addition of cuprous cyanide to obtain the 3-cyano-4-substitutedphenylglyoxylate which in turn may be esterified with an alcohol or hydrolyzed to the amide or carboxylic acid of the glyoxylic acid,
(g) diazotized followed by reaction with potassium ethylxanthate followed by hydrolysis to obtain 3-mercapto-4-substitutedphenylglyoxylic acid which can be esterified to a 3-mercapto-4-substitutedphenylglyoxylate. This in turn can be lower alkylated to the lower alkylthio and oxidized to the loweralkylsulfinyl and loweralkylsulfonyl groups or acylated to the acylthio compounds.
A second nitration or halogenation may be carried out on the 3-substitutedglyoxylate to obtain the corresponding 3,5-disubstitutedglyoxylate. This may be carried out at any appropriate stage of the synthesis in order to obtain the desired substituents. Thus, for example, a 3-chloro-4-substitutedphenylglyoxylate may be nitrated as above to obtain a 3-chloro-5-nitro-4-substitutedphenylglyoxylate or chlorinated to obtain a 3,5-dichloro-4-substitutedphenylglyoxylate. A 3-nitro-4-substitutedphenylglyoxylate can be nitrated to give a 3,5-dinitro-4-substitutedphenylglyoxylate.
Reduction of the glyoxylate ester is accomplished by lithium aluminum hydride to give the 1,2-ethanediol (a). When the 1,2-ethanediol is treated with periodic acid the corresponding aldehyde is prepared (b). Alternatively, the glyoxylate ester may be converted to the glyoxylic acid by acid hydrolysis, and the latter with heat decarboxylated to the substituted benzaldehyde. The latter methods is used when Y or Y' are substituents sensitive to LiAlH.sub.4 reduction, e.g., NO.sub.2, SH, SR, SOR, I.
Claisen condensation of a substitutedbenzaldehyde with an acetic acid ester (preferably a loweralkyl or benzyl ester) in the presence of a metal alkoxide results in a .beta.-substitutedphenylacrylic ester. The aldehyde may also be subjected to a Perkin reaction with acetic anhydride and an acetic acid salt or through a Knoevenogel condensation using malonic acid and ammonia in an amine base to obtain .beta.-substitutedphenylacrylic acid (c). Addition to the double bond with halogen (preferably bromine) results in an .alpha.,.beta.-dibromopropionic acid or ester (d). When the .alpha.,.beta.-dibromopropionate is added to an alcoholic potassium hydroxide solution and heated for several hours the corresponding propiolic acid is prepared (e). Heating the propiolic acid at raised temperature in quinoline for 2-10 hours results in the desired acetylene compound (f): ##STR6## where R, Y and Y' are as described above and R" is loweralkyl or butyl.
When Y and Y' substitution is desired in the ortho position of the phenyl ring then the halogenation and nitration may be carried out in a similar manner but on the propiolic acid or ester or on the desired acetylene.
A further preparation of the compounds of this invention may be carried out starting with a substitutedacetophenone and reacting the keto function with a halogenating agent such as phosphorus pentachloride and phosphorus oxychloride and the like. The resultant dihalo compound is then dehalogenated using sodamide in liquid ammonia to obtain the desired acetylene. This is particularly useful in obtaining the 3-halo-4-substitutedphenylacetylene from 3-halo-4-substitutedacetophenone. ##STR7##
I have found that the compounds of this invention exercise a useful degree of anti-inflammatory activity in mammals and are effective in the treatment of associated pain and fever and in like conditions which are responsive to treatment with anti-inflammatory agents. In general, the compounds of this invention are indicated for a wide variety of mammalian conditions where the symptoms of inflammation and associated fever and pain are manifested. Exemplary of such conditions are: rheumatic diseases such as rheumatoid arthritis, osteoarthritis and other degenerative joint diseases; soft-tissue rheumatism such as tendinitis; muscular rheumatism such as sciatica; pain and inflammation associated with dental surgery and similar human and veterinary disease conditions exhibiting the foregoing symptoms requiring the use of an anti-inflammatory, analgesic and/or antipyretic agent.
I have also found that the compounds of this invention show a marked degree of analgesic activity and are effective in the relief of pain and fever. These compounds are essentially devoid of gastric hemorrhage side effects.
For all the above purposes, the compounds of this invention are normally administered orally, topically, parenterally or rectally. Orally, these may be administered in tablets, capsules, suspensions or syrups; the optimum dosage, of course, depending on the particular compound being used and the type and severity of the condition being treated. In any specific case the appropriate dosage selected will further depend on factors of the patient which may influence response to the drug; for example, general health, age, weight, etc. Although the optimum quantities of the compounds of this invention to be used in such manner will depend on the compound employed and the particular type of disease condition treated, oral dose levels of preferred compounds when administered to a mammal in dosages of 0.5 to 100 milligrams per kilogram of body weight per day are particularly useful. The preferred range is 0.5 to 15 mg/kg. Comparative dosages may be used in topical, parenteral or rectal administration.
Dosage forms may be prepared according to any method known to the art for the manufacture of pharmaceutical compositions and such compositions may contain one or more agents; for example, sweetening agents, flavoring agents, coloring agents, preserving agents, etc. Further, the active acetylenic compounds may be administered alone or in admixture with antacids such as sodium bicarbonate, magnesium carbonate, magnesium hydroxide, aluminum hydroxide, magnesium silicate, etcl, and non-toxic pharmaceutically acceptable excipients. Such excipients may be, for example, inert diluents such as calcium carbonate, lactose, etc., granulating and disintegrating agents; for example maize starch, alginic acid, etc., lubricating agents; for example, magnesium stearate, talc, etc., binding agents; for example, starch gelatin, etc., suspending agents; for example, methylcellulose, vegetable oil, etc., dispersing agents; for example, lecithin, etc., thickening agents; for example, beeswax, hard paraffin, etc., emulsifying agents; for example, naturally-occurring gums, etc., and non-irritating excipients; for example, cocoa butter and polyethylene glycols.
Various tests in animals can be carried out to show the ability of the acetylenic compounds of this invention to exhibit reactions that can be correlated with anti-inflammatory activity in humans. One such test is the carrageenan paw edema test, which shows the ability of the instant compounds to inhibit edema induced by injection of an inflammatory agent such as carrageenan into the tissues of the paw of a rat against non-inflammed controls. This carrageenan testing method is known to correlate well with anti-inflammatory activity in humans and is a standard test used to determine anti-inflammatory activity. This correlation can be shown by the activities of compounds known to be clinically active including such as aspirin, phenylbutazone, cortisone, hydrocortisone, indomethacin and prednisolone. In view of the results of this test, the acetylenic compounds of this invention can be considered to be active anti-inflammatory agents.
A further test to show anti-inflammatory activity is the polyarthritis test in rats. This test is carried out on the animal model which closely resembles human arthritis and is widely used in the art. This is outlined by Winter & Nuss in Arthritis and Rheumatism 9: 394, (1966). In view of the results of this test, the acetylenic compounds of this invention can be considered to be active anti-inflammatory agents.
One method for measuring analgesic activity is the acetic acid writhing test as outlined by Siegmund et al. in the Proc. Soc. Exp. Biol. Med. 95: 729-731, (1957). This method involves the intraperitoneal injection of 60 mg/kg of HOAc (0.6% solution; 0.1 ml/10 g) into male albino mice which produces a syndrone characterized by stretching movement. Analgesics prevent or suppress the stretch.
In view of the results of this test, the acetylenic compounds of this invention are considered to demonstrate non-narcotic analgesic activity.
One method of measuring gastric hemorrhage is as follows.
Albino male rats weighing 100-120 g are fasted for 24 hours but given free access to water. The animals are placed in groups of 10 animals per dose and dosed by gastric gavage at a volume of 1 ml/100 g body weight with test compound suspended in 0.5% methylcellulose. A control group receives only 0.5% methylcellulose. Four hours after administration of compound, the animals are sacrificed and the rumens of the stomachs assayed for gastric hemorrhage. Hemorrhage is defined as an area of blood which is 1 mm or larger at the largest diameter. Diameter of the hemorrhage is recorded. The number of animals in each group with stomachs having at least one area of hemorrhage is recorded. The presence of areas of blood smaller than 1 mm, defined as petechiae, is noted but not counted in the assay. The percent hemorrhage for each group is statistically analyzed to determine the dose magnitude (ED.sub.50) which causes production of gastric hemorrhage in 50% of the animals.

The following are detailed examples which show the preparation of the compounds of this invention. They are to be construed as illustrations of said compounds and are not intended to be limitations thereof.
