SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION

One object of the present invention is to provide novel guanidinocyclohexanecarboxylic acid derivatives which exhibit strong inhibitory effects on serine proteases and anti-allergic effects.

It is another object of the invention to provide a process for producing these novel guanidinocyclohexanecarboxylic acid derivatives.

These and other objects of the invention as hereinafter will become more readily apparent can be attained by the provision of compounds of the formula (I): ##STR4## wherein R.sub.1 represents an indanyl, indolyl, quinolyl or chromonyl group, the group of the formula ##STR5## (in which R.sub.2 represents a halogen atom or a nitro group), or the group of the formula ##STR6## (in which R.sub.3 represents a halogen atom, or an alkyl, nitro, cyano, acetamino, aminosulfonyl, benzoyl, phenoxy or trifluoromethyl group, R.sub.4 represents a hydrogen or halogen atom, or an alkyl group, and R.sub.5 represents a hydrogen or halogen atom, or an alkyl group). These derivatives and pharmaceutically acceptable salts thereof have been found to possess excellent inhibitory effects on serine proteases and anti-allergic effects. Particularly, compounds of the formula (II): ##STR7## wherein R.sub.3,R.sub.4 and R.sub.5 are the same as defined above, have been found to possess excellent anti-allergic effects.

Suitable groups of the formula ##STR11## include chlorophenyl, bromophenyl, iodophenyl, methylphenyl, ethylphenyl, propylphenyl, butylphenyl, t-butylphenyl, nitrophenyl, cyanophenyl, acetaminophenyl, aminosulfonylphenyl, benzoylphenyl, phenoxyphenyl, trifluoromethylphenyl, 4-chloro-2-isopropyl-5-methylphenyl, 2-isopropyl-5-methylphenyl, 2,4-dichlorophenyl, 2,4,6-trichlorophenyl groups and the like.

Compounds of the formula (I) may be either the cis- or trans-isomer. Particularly preferable is the trans-isomer.

Pharmaceutically acceptable salts of the compounds are acid addition salts formed from hydrochloric acid, sulfuric acid, phosphoric acid, hydrobromic acid, acetic acid, lactic acid, maleic acid, fumaric acid, tartaric acid, citric acid, methanesulfonic acid, p-toluenesulfonic acid and like acids.

According to the invention, the compounds of the formula (I) are produced by reacting 4-guanidinomethylcyclohexanecarboxylic acid or a reactive derivative thereof with a compound of the formula (II):

R.sub.1 --OH (II) wherein R.sub.1 is the same as defined above, or a reactive derivative thereof.

Suitable reactive derivatives of 4-guanidinomethylcyclohexanecarboxylic acid include acid halides such for example as acid chloride, acid bromide and the like, and mixed anhydrides using ethylchloroformate. Suitable reactive derivatives of the compounds of the formula (II) include disulfite compounds such for example as bis-(4-chlorophenyl)sulfite and bis-(4-t-butylphenyl)sulfite.

The reaction of 4-guanidinomethylcyclohexanecarboxylic acid and the disulfite derivative of the compound of the formula (II) is carried out with stirring at room temperature for 1-20 hours. Suitable solvents which may be used include dimethylformamide, dimethylacetamide, pyridine and the like. The reaction of the reactive derivative of 4-guanidinomethylcyclohexanecarboxylic acid and the compound of the formula (II) is effected with stirring at a temperature of from room temperature to the boiling point of the solvent.

That is, the present compounds exhibit excellent inhibitory effects on serine proteases such as trypsin, chymotrypsin, thrombin and urokinase. The compounds also exhibit excellent anti-allergic effects and have been found to strongly inhibit histamine release from mast cells by compound 48/80. Moreover, these compounds are significantly effective for preventing anaphylactic shock and experimental asthma in guinea pigs.

Inhibition of Various Serine Proteases

Inhibitory effects on the TAMe(N.sup..alpha. -tosyl-L-arginine methyl ester) hydrolytic activity of trypsin, plasmin, plasma kallikrein and thrombin were estimated by Hesterin's method modified by Roberts. Inhibition of the BAEe(N.sup..alpha. -benzoyl-L-arginine ethyl ester) hydrolytic activity of pancreas kallikrein was determined by Hesterin's method after incubation at 37.degree. C. for 30 minutes in a 0.1M borate buffer, pH 8.0. Inhibitory effects on urokinase were determined by the chromotropic acid method after incubation of 60 iu of urokinase with 10 mM AGLMe(acetylglycyl-L-lysine methyl ester) at 37.degree. C. for 30 minutes in a 0.06M phosphate buffer, pH 7.5, containing 0.09M NaCl. Inhibition of chymotrypsin was determined by Hesterin's method after incubation with 15 mM ATE (N.sup..alpha. -acetyl-L-tyrosine ethyl ester) for 30 minutes at 37.degree. C. in a 0.1M borate buffer, pH 8.0.

Effects on Histamine Release from Mast Cells Induced by Compound 48/80

Released histamine was determined by the fluorometric assay as follows: 1.5 ml of a mast cell suspension (3.5.times.10.sup.5 /ml) was mixed with 1 ml of a physiological solution containing each test sample, and the resulting mixture was incubated for 7 minutes at 37.degree. C., followed by addition of 1 ml of compound 48/80 (3.5 .mu.g/ml). After incubation for 20 minutes at 37.degree. C., the suspension was cooled to 4.degree. C., and released histamine was determined as described by Shore et al. All samples examined were recognized to cause no disturbance in the fluorometric assay.

It is known that DSCG has inhibitory effects on histamine release from mast cells [Life Sciences, Vol. 10, 805-812 (1971) and Internal Medicine, Vol. 42(6), 933 (1978)], and therefore, DSCG is used as an anti-allergic agent. However, the inhibitory effects of the present compounds on histamine release from mast cells are greater than those of DSCG.

Passive Cutaneous Anaphylaxis

Diluted anti-egg albumin (rat anti-egg albumin serum) with saline (0.05 ml) was subcutaneously injected into the back of a rat. 48 hours later, egg albumin and Evans' blue dissolved in saline (egg albumin 10 mg and Evans' blue 5 mg/ml) were intravenously injected into the rat in an amount of 2.5 ml/kg. 45 minutes later, the rat was killed, bled and skined, and the permeated area (mm.sup.2) of the dye was measured. Test samples were administered per os 1 hour prior to antigen injection.

Experimental Asthma in Sensitized Guinea Pigs

Hartley male guinea pigs each weighing 300 to 350 g were passively sensitized by intravenous injection with rabbit anti-egg albumin serum (0.5 ml/kg). 24 hours after passive sensitization, the guinea pigs were placed in a chamber for an inhalation test and then subjected to continuous spraying for 900 seconds with a mist of a 2% egg albumin solution. A test sample suspended in 5% gum arabic was orally administered 1 hour prior to the antigen challenge. The preconvulsion time was measured.

The evaluation was also performed in the experimental asthma with actively sensitized guinea pigs as follows: Hartley male guinea pigs each weighing 300 to 350 g were sensitized (by subcutaneous injection into the inguinal region) with an egg albumin solution (1 mg/ml) emulsified with an equal volume of Freund's complete adjuvant (5 mg/kg of body weight). Ten days later, the emulsion was injected subcutaneously into the axilla. On the 26th day after the first sensitization, the animals were subjected to the experiments which were conducted in the same manner as in the passively sensitized animals. The results obtained are shown in Table 7 and Table 8.
