Heterocyclic ring fused pyrimidine-4(3H)-ones as anticoccidial agents

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION
The present invention is concerned with certain trans-3-[3-(3-hydroxy-2-piperidyl)-2-oxopropyl]thieno[3,2-d]pyrimidin-4(3H)-one and furo]3,2-d]pyrimidin-4(3H)-one derivatives, a method of using same as anticoccidial agents, intermediates therefor, and a process for certain intermediates therefor.
Coccidiosis, a poultry disease, is caused by several species of protozoan parasites of the genus Eimeria, such as E. acervulina and E. tenella. In particular, E. tenella is the causative agent of a severe and often fatal infection of the ceca of chickens which is manifested by extensive hemorrhage, accumulation of blood in the ceca and the passage of blood in the droppings. Essentially, coccidiosis is an intestinal disease which is disseminated by birds picking up the infectious organism in droppings on contaminated litter or ground. By damaging the intestinal wall, the host animal is unable to utilize its food, goes off its feed, and in untreated cases the disease terminates in either the death of the animal or the survival of unthrifty birds known commonly as "culls".
Several classes of compounds have been reported to be useful as anticoccidial agents. Among these are various 6-azauracil derivatives (Miller, U.S. Pat. No. 4,239,888; summarizing several addition classes); trans-3-[3-(3-hydroxy-2-piperidyl)-2-oxopropyl]-4(3H)-quinazolinone (febrifugine; The Merck Index, Tenth Edition, monograph No. 3881); and trans-7-bromo-6-chloro-3-[3-(3-hydroxy-2-piperidyl)-2-oxopropyl]-4(3H)-quinazolinone (halofuginone; The Merck Index, Tenth Edition, monograph No. 4479).
SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION
Although above febrifugine and halofuginone are useful as anticoccidial agents, we have determined that a number of related compounds (such as trans-3-[3-(3-hydroxy2-piperidyl)-2-oxopropyl]thieno[3,2-d]pyrimidin-4(3H)-one; trans-3-[3-(3-hydroxy-2-piperidyl)-2-oxopropylthieno[2,3-d]pyrimidin-4(3H)-one and the 6-chloro and 6-bromo derivatives thereof; trans-3-[3-(3-hydroxy-2-piperidyl)-2-oxopropyl]thieno[3,4-d]-pyrimidine-4(3H)-one and the 7-chloro derivative thereof; and trans-8-chloro-3-[3-(3-hydroxy-2-piperidyl)-2-oxopropyl]benzofuro[3,2-d]pyrimidine) are lacking in useful anticoccidial activity in poultry. In spite of such lack of activity, we have surprisingly discovered a number of compounds, very closely related in structure, which are highly active as anticoccidial agents, as determined by their activity against E. tenella.
Thus the present invention is directed to anticoccidial compounds of the formula ##STR1## wherein Y is sulfur or oxygen; and
R and R.sup.1 are taken separately, and R is hydrogen, chloro or bromo and R.sup.1 is chloro or bromo; or
R and R.sup.1 are taken together and are --CH.dbd.CH--CH.dbd.CH--; with the proviso that R and R.sup.1 are taken together when Y is oxygen;
including the pharmaceutically acceptable acid addition salts thereof.
The compounds of the present invention are racemic (not optically active). The heavy and dotted bonds in the various formulae therefore indicate relative, not absolute stereochemistry.
Pharmaceutically acceptable acid addition salts include, but are not restricted to, those with HCl, HBr, H.sub.2 SO.sub.4, CH.sub.3 SO.sub.3 H, p-CH.sub.3 C.sub.6 H.sub.4 SO.sub.3 H, lactic acid, fumaric acid, citric acid and the like.
Preferred compound of the formula (I), because of their ease of preparation and high activity, have Y as sulfur, R and R.sup.1 taken separately, R.sup.1 as chloro and R as hydrogen, chloro or bromo; or Y as oxygen with R and R.sup.1 taken together as --CH.dbd.CH--CH.dbd.CH--.
The present invention also encompasses a method of controlling or preventing coccidiosis in poultry which comprises administering to said poultry an anticoccidially effective amount of a compound of the formula (I) in drinking water or in nutritionally-balanced feed.
Also claimed are valuable intermediates of the formula: ##STR2## wherein Y is sulfur or oxygen; R and R.sup.1 are taken separately, and R is hydrogen, chloro or bromo and R.sup.1 is chloro or bromo; or
R and R.sup.1 are taken together and are --CH.dbd.CH--CH.dbd.CH--; with the proviso that R and R.sup.1 are taken together when Y is oxygen;
R.sup.3 is allyl or (C.sub.1 -C.sub.4)alkyl; and
R.sup.4 is hydrogen or (C.sub.1 -C.sub.4)alkyl; ##STR3## wherein X is chloro or bromo; and ##STR4## wherein X is chloro or bromo and R.sup.2 is (C.sub.1 -C.sub.4)alkyl; and a process for preparation of compounds of the formula (IV) which comprises reaction of a thioglycolate ester of the formula
HSCH.sub.2 COOR.sup.2
with a dihaloacrylonitrile of the formula
X.sub.2 C=CHCN
in a reaction inert solvent in the presence of at least one equivalent of a strong base.
As used herein, the expression "reaction inert solvent" refers to a solvent which does not interact with reagents, intermediates or products in a manner which adversely affects the yield of the desired product.
DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION
The compounds of the present invention are readily prepared by nucleophilic displacement: ##STR5## wherein R, R.sup.1, R.sup.3, R.sup.4 and Y are as defined above, and X.sup.1 is a nucleophilically displaceable group such as chloro, bromo, iodo or mesylate; followed by solvolytic or hydrolytic removal of the groups R.sup.4 and COOR.sup.3. Because of their ready availability, preferred compounds of the formula (VI) have X.sup.1 as bromo, R.sup.4 as methyl and R.sup.3 as methyl or allyl.
The nucleophilic displacement reaction between compounds of the formulae (V) and (VI) in all cases involves replacement of the leaving group X.sup.1 with a relatively non-nucleophilic nitrogen. For this reason it is essential to employ a base of sufficient strength to form the anion of the compound (V) in an amount at least sufficient to neutralize all of the acid (HX.sup.1) coproduced in the reaction. Alkali metal (C.sub.1 -C.sub.4)-alkoxides are well suited for this purpose. The reaction is generally carried out in a reaction inert solvent such as a lower alkanol, acetonitrile or dimethylformamide. The solvent should be less acidic than the compound (V), so as to facilitate formation of the required anion. Sodium methoxide as base in methanol as solvent represent conditions particularly well suited for the present reaction. The temperature employed for this reaction is not critical (e.g. temperatures in the range of 0.degree.-50.degree. C. are fully satisfactory). It should be high enough to provide a reasonable rate, but not so high as to lead to undue decomposition. As is well known in the art, rate will vary with the nature of the leaving group (e.g. rate: I>Br>Cl), the specific structure of the compound (V), the concentration of reagents and the solvent. The reaction time should be such that the reaction is nearly complete (e.g. >95% conversion when equivalent amounts of the compounds (V) and (VI) are employed) to maximize yields [e.g. reaction times 1 hour to several hours at ambient temperature are well suited when X.sup.1 is bromo, the base is sodium methoxide, the solvent is methanol, and the concentration of compound (V) is in the range 3-10% (w/v)]. Of course, complete reaction can be facilitated by use of an excess of one of the reagents, e.g. an excess of the compound (VI) when it is the more readily available of the two reagents.
The present nucleophilic displacement reactions produce compounds of the above formula (II) wherein R.sup.4 is (C.sub.1 -C.sub.4)alkyl. The groups R.sup.4 and COOR.sup.3 are readily removed, stepwise or in a single step, to produce the desired compounds of the formula (I). Thus the (C.sub.1 -C.sub.4)alkyl ether group is conveniently removed by the action of BBr.sub.3 in a reaction inert solvent at a temperature ranging from -70.degree. to 0.degree. C. Methylene chloride as solvent is particularly well suited for this purpose, since solutions of BBr.sub.3 therein are commercially available. This method produces intermediate compounds of the formula (II) wherein R.sup.4 is hydrogen. The COOR.sup.3 group is then conveniently removed from the latter intermediates by briefly heating with concentrated aqueous HBr, e.g. heating in 48% HBr for 2 to 10 minutes at 80.degree.-150.degree. C., or concentrated HBr in glacial acetic acid at ambient temperature.
Alternatively, both groups R.sup.4 as (C.sub.1 -C.sub.4)alkyl and COOR.sup.3 are removed in a single step by somewhat more prolonged heating in said concentrated aqueous HBr, e.g. in 48% HBr at 110.degree. to 150.degree. C. for 10 to 30 minutes.
The acid addition salts of the compounds of the present invention, if not directly isolated, for example, as the hydrobromide salt directly from the reaction mixture, are obtained by contacting the free base with at least one equivalent of the appropriate acid in a reaction inert solvent. Those salts which do not precipitate directly are isolated by concentration and/or the addition of a non-solvent. Conversely, the free base form is conveniently formed from an acid addition salt by neutralization of the latter in water with recovery of the free base by filtration or extraction into a water immiscible organic solvent.
The required starting compounds of the formula (VI) are known or prepared by methods well known in the chemical art. Some of the required starting compounds of the formula (V) are also known, or accesible by known methods. Others, particularly those of the above formula (III) were not practically accessible prior to the presently discovered novel process for preparing the above precursor compounds of the formula (IV). This novel process involves unprecedented reaction of 3,3-dichloro(or dibromo)acrylonitrile with the anion of a (C.sub.1 -C.sub.4)alkyl thioglycolate. In hindsight, it is believed that this reaction occurs by the following pathway: ##STR6##
The reaction is generally carried out under anhydrous conditions in a reaction inert solvent in the presence of at least two equivalents of a strong base. Preferred are an alkali metal (C.sub.1 -C.sub.4)alkoxide and a solvent comprising a (C.sub.1 -C.sub.4)alkanol. With the methyl ester (the preferreed value of R.sup.2), sodium methoxide as base and methanol as solvent are particularly well suited, avoiding any complications resulting from ester exchange. Temperature is not critical, but is preferably in the range 0.degree.-50.degree. C. Conveniently, ambient temperature is employed, with cooling as necessary to avoid any undue exotherm.
The precursor (IV) is converted to the halopyrimidine derivative (III) by standard methods, e.g. heating with excess formamide at 175.degree. to 225.degree. C. for several hours. Additional dihalopyrimidine derivatives of the type (III) are most conveniently obtained by halogenation of said monohalo compounds of the formula (III). For example, 7-bromo-6-chlorothieno[3,2-d]-pyrimidin-4(3H)-one is prepared from the compound (III) wherein X is chloro by treatment with Br.sub.2 in acetic acid at 80.degree. C., as specifically described below.
The cocciodiostatic activity of the compounds of the present invention is demonstrated as follows. Groups of chicks (e.g. groups of five ten-day old SPF white Leghorn cockerels) are fed a nutritionally complete basal ration into which the test compound is incorporated at various concentrations. The basal ration is generally a commercial chick starter (e.g. Agway Commercial Chick Starter, available from the Agway Feed Co., Franklin, Conn.), and is presented ad libitum to the chicks 24 hours before infection and continuously thereafter throughout the course of the tests.
Twenty-four hours after initiation of the medication the chicks are inoculated orally with 100,000 sporulated oocysts (Eimeria tenella) and the average weight per bird per group determined. In addition, a group of six chicks is fed the basal ration which contains none of the test compound (infected, untreated controls). A further group of six chicks serves as uninfected, untreated controls. The chicks are examined on the fifth and sixth day post-infection for signs of hemorrhage. On the sixth day post-infection, the average body weight per bird per group is determined, the birds necropsied, the cecum examined macroscopically, and a pathology index (average degree of infection[A.D.I.]) determined. Chicks which die prior to the fifth day post-infection are considered as toxic deaths. Those which die five days post-infection or later are considered as deaths due to disease. The degree of pathologic involvement at necropsy is expressed as the average degree based on the following scheme: 0=no cecal lesions; 1=slight lesions; 2=moderate lesions; 3=severe lesions; 4=death.
The efficacy of the test compound, at a given level in feed, is judged by comparison of the pathologic index with that of the unmedicated infected controls, expressed as the ratio: ##EQU1## Against E. tenella, the compounds of the present invention generally show a value of said ratio no higher than 0.5 at a feed concentration no higher than 25 p.p.m. Preferred compounds of the present invention show even better ratios, as follows:
______________________________________ Ratios atCompound (I) Feed Concentration (ppm)Y R R.sup.1 25 12.5 6.25 3.12______________________________________S H Cl 0.0 0.67 1.00 1.00S Cl Cl 0.0 0.0 0.0 0.90S Br Cl 0.0 0.0 0.0 0.67O --CH.dbd.CH--CH.dbd.CH.sub.2 -- 0.0 0.22 1.00 1.00______________________________________
It will be noted that a ratio of 0.0 indicates 100% control of pathology due to the infection at the indicated feed concentration.
The compounds of this invention are orally administered to poultry in a suitable carrier. Conveniently, the medication is simply carried in the drinking water or in the poultry feed, so that a therapeutic dosage of the agent is ingested with the daily water or poultry ration. The agent can be directly metered into drinking water, preferably in the form of a liquid, water-soluble concentrate (such as aqueous solution of a water soluble salt) or added directly to the feed, as such, or in the form of a premix or concentrate. A premix or concentrate of therapeutic agent in a carrier is commonly employed for the inclusion of the agent in the feed. Suitable carriers are liquid or solid, as desired, such as water, various meals; for example, soybean oil meal, linseed oil meal, corncob meal, and mineral mixes such as are commonly employed in poultry feeds. A particularly effective carrier is the poultry feed itself; that is, a small portion of poultry feed. The carrier facilitates uniform distribution of the active materials in the finished feed with which the premix is blended. This is important because only small proportions of the present potent agents are required. It is important that the compound be thoroughly blended into the premix and, subsequently, the feed. In this respect, the agent may be dispersed or dissolved in a suitable oily vehicle such as soybean oil, corn oil, cottonseed oil, and the like, or in a volatile organic solvent and then blended with the carrier. It will be appreciated that the proportions of active material in the concentrate are capable of wide variation since the amount of agent in the finished feed may be adjusted by blending the appropriate proportion of premix with the feed to obtain a desired level of therapeutic agent.
High potency concentrates may be blended by the feed manufacturer with proteinaceous carrier such as soybean oil meal and other meals, as described above, to produce concentrated supplements which are suitable for direct feeding to poultry. In such instances, the poultry are permitted to consume the usual diet. Alternatively, such concentrated supplements may be added directly to the poultry feed to produce a nutritionally balanced, finished feed containing a therapeutically effective level of one or more of the compounds of this invention. The mixtures are thoroughly blended by standard procedures, such as in a twin shell blender, to ensure homogeneity.
It will, of course, be obvious to those skilled in the art that the use levels of the compounds described herein will vary under different circumstances. Continuous low-level medication, during the growing period; that is, during the first 6 to 12 weeks for chickens, is an effective prophylatic measure. In the treatment of established infections, higher levels may be necessary to overcome the infection. The use level in feed will generally be in the range of 3 to 100 ppm. When administered in drinking water, the level which will be that which will provide the same daily dose of medication, i.e. 3 to 100 ppm, factored by the weight ratio of the average daily consumption of feed to the average daily consumption of water.
The present invention is illustrated by the following examples. However, it should be understood that the invention is not limited to the specific details of these examples.

PREPARATION 2
3-Methoxy-2-methylpyridine 1-oxide
With ice-bath cooling and mechanical stirring, a solution of 200 ml of methanol and 30 ml of 12N hydrochloric acid was treated with a stream of dry hydrogen chloride gas until it was approximately 12N by titration (1.00 ml aliquot diluted with 50 ml of water and brought to neutrality with 5.00N sodium hydroxide). With continued stirring and cooling hydrogen chloride was again led through the solution while 12.0 g (0.70 mole) of 1-[5,6-dihydro 6-ethoxy-1.2(4H)-oxazin-3-yl]ethanone was added dropwise over a period of about 15 minutes. The solution was allowed to warm to room temperature and to remain standing for three hours. The now dark red-brown solution was evaporated under reduced pressure to furnish a dark brown viscous fluid which was diluted with about 100 ml of water and adjusted to pH 8 by the addition of solid sodium bicarbonate. Some insoluble matter was filtered and rinsed with small portions of water. At this point the aqueous solution was divided into equal parts and two purification methods were used.

The combined extracts were dried over anhydrous sodium sulfate, filtered, and evaporated under reduced pressure to afford 3.26 g (67%) of crude 3-methoxy-2-methylpyridine 1-oxide: m.p. 59.degree.-74.degree. C. This material was further purified by heating it under reflux in 50 ml of toluene for 15 minutes; the hot solution was decanted from a small amount of insoluble gummy matter. Upon cooling to room temperature, the toluene solution was evaporated under reduced pressure to give brownish crystals: m.p. 69.degree.-79.degree. C. [lit. m.p. 65.degree. C., T. L. Gilchrist et al., loc. cit.; m.p. 64.degree.-65.degree. C., Y. Mizuno, T. Endo and T. Nakamura, J. Org. Chem., 40(10), 1391-1395 (1975)].
