Fused benzeneoxyacetic acid derivatives which have PGI.sub.2 receptor agonist activity

SUMMARY
This invention is related to fused benzeneoxyacetic acid derivatives.
More particularly, this invention is related to:
1) fused benzeneoxyacetic acid derivatives of the formula (I): ##STR2## wherein all the symbols are the same meaning as hereafter defined, and non-toxic salts thereof and non-toxic acid addition salts thereof,
2) processes for the preparation thereof, and
3) pharmaceutical agents containing them as active ingredient.
BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION
Prostaglandin I.sub.2 (PGI.sub.2)is a physiologically active natural substance having the following structural formula, which is biosynthesized from Prostaglandin H.sub.2 (PGH.sub.2) in the metabolic process in vivo called arachidonate cascade. ##STR3## (see Nature, 263, 663(1976), Prostaglandins, 12, 685(1976), ibid, 12, 915(1976), ibid, 13, 375(1977) and Chemical and Engineering News, Dec. 20, 17(1976).
PGI.sub.2 has been confirmed to possess not only a very strong inhibitory activity on blood platelet aggregation but a dissociative activity on blood platelet aggregation, an inhibitory activity on blood platelet adhesion, a vasodilating activity, an inhibitory activity on gastric acid secretion etc. Therefore, it has been considered that PGI.sub.2 is useful for the prevention and/or the treatment for thrombosis, arteriosclerosis, ischemic heart diseases, gastric ulcer, hypertension etc. But its application for pharmaceuticals is limited because of its chemical instability and difficulty of separation of the actions according to purpose. Accordingly, various PGI.sub.2 derivatives have been synthesized and many researches have been carried out for the maintenance and the separation of the actions. However, we have not necessarily satisfactory results yet.
Recently, in order to solve two problems above described, the research for PGI.sub.2 receptor agonists which have a new-typed skeleton and may be useful for the treatment of or for the prevention of the above diseases, in view of PGI.sub.2 receptor level, has been carried out.
RELATED ARTS
It has been reported in the literatures, that the following compounds not having the PGI.sub.2 skeleton are PGI.sub.2 receptor agonists which bind to a PGI.sub.2 receptor and inhibit blood platelet aggregation: ##STR4## (see Brit. J. Pharmacol., 76, 423(1982), ibid, 84, 595(1985), and the Japanese Patent Kohyo No. 55-501098), ##STR5## (see Brit. J. Pharmacol., 76, 423(1982), ibid, 84, 595(1985), and the Japanese Patent Kohyo No. 57-501127), and ##STR6## (see Brit. J. Pharmacol., 102, 251-266(1991) and the West German Patent Publication No. 3,504,677).
PURPOSE OF THE INVENTION
Energetic investigations have been carried out in order to discover new PGI.sub.2 receptor agonists having a skeleton in chemical structure different from the compounds mentioned above, the present inventors have found that a kind of fused benzeneoxyacetic acid derivatives has an activity on binding to PGI.sub.2 receptor and an inhibitory activity on blood platelet aggregation, and have accomplished the present invention.
The fused benzeneoxyacetic acid derivatives of the formula (I), of the present invention are quite novel, and it is not easy to predict from the above compounds already known as PGI.sub.2 receptor agonist, that the compounds of the present invention have an activity of PGI.sub.2 receptor agonist.

Pharmacological Activities
It has been confirmed that the compounds of the present invention of the formula (I) possess an agonistic activity on PGI.sub.2 receptor by the following experimental results.
i) Inhibitory activity on binding of .sup.3 H-iloprost to PGI.sub.2 receptor on human blood platelet membrane fraction
Method
50 mM Tris-HCl buffer (pH 7.4) containing 15 mM MgCl.sub.2, 5 mM EDTA and 10 nM [.sup.3 H]-iloprost were used as reaction medium. To 0.2 ml of the reaction medium, human blood platelet membrane fraction (0.3 mg protein) was added with or without a test compound. The mixture was incubated at 24.degree. C. for 30 min. After incubation, 4 ml of ice-cold 10 mM Tris-HCl buffer (pH 7.4) was added to the reaction mixture, and filtered through Whatman GF/B glass fiber filter, and washed 4 times with 4 ml of ice-cold 10 mM Tris-HCl buffer (pH 7.4) to separate bound and free [.sup.3 H]-iloprost. After washing, the filter was dried and radioactivity was counted. Non-specific binding was obtained by performing parallel binding experiments in the presence of 10 .mu.M non-labelled iloprost. Specific binding was calculated by subtracting the non-specific binding from the total binding.
The inhibitory effect of test compound was calculated from the following equation.
The percentage of inhibition (%)=100-(B.sub.1 /B.sub.0 .times.100)
B.sub.1 : specific [.sup.3 H]-iloprost binding in presence of test compound
B.sub.0 : specific [.sup.3 H]-iloprost binding in absence of test compound
The results are shown in the following table 1.
