Description

The present invention relates to imide derivatives, and their production and use. More particularly, the present invention relates to novel imide derivatives, their production processes and their use as antipsychotic agents.
The imide derivatives of this invention are represented by the formula: ##STR5## wherein A is a carbonyl group or a sulfonyl group;
B is either one of the formulas: ##STR6## (in which E is a methylene group, an ethylene group or an oxygen atom and a full line accompanying a broken line ( ) indicates a single bond or a double bond), ##STR7## (in which F is a methylene group or an ethylene group and a full line accompanying a broken line ( ) is as defined above) and ##STR8## (in which R.sup.1, R.sup.2, R.sup.3, R.sup.4, R.sup.5 and R.sup.6 are each a hydrogen atom or a methyl group) when A represents a carbonyl group, or B is a 1,2-phenylene group when A represents a sulfonyl group;
D is an ethylene group, an ethenylene group or an ethynylene group, which may be optionally substituted with hydroxyl; and
n is an integer of 0, 1 or 2.
As the antipsychotic agents, particularly neuroleptics, there have heretofore been used tricyclic compounds such as chlorpromazine (2-chloro-N,N-dimethyl-10H-phenothiazine-10-propanamine), butyrophenone compounds such as haloperidol (4-[4-(4-chlorophenyl)-4-hydroxy-1-piperidinyl]-1-(4-fluorophenyl)-1-butanone), etc.. However, these conventional neuroleptics produce serious side effects such as catalepsy and hypotension, which cause great problems in their clinical use.
In recent years, some spiroimide compounds have been developed as neuroleptics partly overcoming the drawbacks as seen in conventional neuroleptics. Their typical examples are buspirone (8-[4-(2-pyrimidinyl)-1-piperazinylbutyl]-8-azaspiro[4,5]decane-7,9-dione) and tiaspirone (8-[4-(3-benzisothiazolyl)-1-piperazinylbutyl]-8-azaspiro[4,5]decane-7,9-dione). These spiroimide compounds are alleviated in regard to extrapyramidal side effects such as catalepsy inducing activity in comparison with butyrophenone compounds such as haloperidol. Further, tiaspirone exhibits anti-dopamine activity, as an indication of neuroleptic activity, stronger than chlorpromazine and nearly equal to haloperidol by intraperitoneal administration in anti-climbing behavior tests using apomorphine. Surprisingly, however, the anti-dopamine activity of tiaspirone is drastically reduced by oral administration.
As a result of an intensive studies, it has now been found that the imide derivatives (I) of the present invention exhibit excellent neuroleptic activity with less extrapyramidal side effects. Their anti-dopamine activity as an indication of neuroleptic activity is not lowered even when administered orally. The present invention, therefore, is based on the above finding.
Accordingly, an object of the present invention is to provide the imide derivatives (I) and their pharmaceutically acceptable acid addition salts.
Another object of this invention is to provide processes for production of the imide derivatives (I).
A further object of the present invention is to provide a method of use of the imide derivatives (I) as antipsychotic drugs, particularly neuroleptics.
The imide derivatives (I) can be produced by various processes, of which typical examples are set forth below.
Process (A):
The process comprises the following reaction: ##STR9## wherein G is --O-- and J is ##STR10## G is --NH-- and J is ##STR11## G is --N(CH.sub.2 --D--CH.sub.2 --X')-- and J is ##STR12## and J is X"--, X, X' and X" are each a leaving group such as halogen (e.g. chlorine, bromine, iodine), alkylsulfonyloxy (e.g. methanesulfonyloxy) or arylsulfonyloxy (e.g. p-toluenesulfonyloxy) and A, B, D and n are each as defined above.
Thus, the above process covers the following four procedures: ##STR13## wherein A, B, D, G, J, n, X, X40 and X" are each as defined above.
In general, the process (A) is carried out by reacting both of the starting compounds in any inert solvent at such a temperature that the reaction can proceed. The presence of an acid binding agent may be preferred depending upon the kinds of starting materials.
In Procedure 1, the compound (I) is obtained by reacting the compound (II) with the compound (III) in an inert solvent (e.g. pyridine, n-butanol, benzene, toluene, xylene), preferably at reflux temperature.
In Procedure 2, the compound (I) may be prepared by reacting the compound (IV) with the compound (V) in an inert solvent (e.g. benzene, toluene, xylene, dimethylformamide, acetonitrile, n-butanol) in the presence of an acid binding agent, preferably at room temperature or under heating. As the acid-binding agent, there may be used an organic or inorganic base, of which examples are tertiary amines (e.g. triethylamine, pyridine), alkali metal or alkaline earth metal carbonates (e.g. sodium carbonate, potassium carbonate), alkali metal or alkaline earth metal bicarbonates (e.g. sodium bicarbonate, potassium bicarbonate), alkali metal or alkaline earth metal hydrides (e.g. sodium hydride, potassium hydride), etc.
In Procedure 3, the compound (I) is obtained by reacting the compound (VIII) with the compound (IX) in an inert solvent (e.g. benzene, toluene, xylene, dimethylformamide, acetonitrile, n-butanol) in the presence of an acid-binding agent, preferably at room temperature or under heating. As the acid-binding agent, there may be used an organic or inorganic base as exemplified above.
In Procedure 4, the compound (I) is prepared by reacting the compound (X) with the compound (XI) in an inert solvent (e.g. benzene, toluene, xylene, dimethylformamide, acetonitrile, n-butanol) in the presence of an acid-binding agent, preferably at room temperature or under heating. As the acid-binding agent, there may be employed an organic or inorganic base as exemplified above.
The starting compounds (II), (III), (IV), (V), (VIII), (IX), (X) and (XI) in the above Process (A) are known per se or can be produced by any per se conventional procedure. For instance, the compound (II) is described in the following literature and thus known: JP-A-87262/1985; J. Am. Chem. Soc., 63, 3167 (1941); ibid., 72, 1678 (1950), ibid., 74, 3094 (1952), ibid., 73, 4889 (1951).
The compounds (IV), (VIII) and (X) can be produced from the compound (II) by the procedures as described in EP-A-0109562, JP-A-23373/1985, JP-A-87262/1985 and JP-A-87284/1985 according to the following scheme: ##STR14## wherein A, B, D, X' and n are each as defined above.
The compounds (III), (V), (IX) and (XI) can be produced according to the following scheme: ##STR15## wherein X"' is a leaving group and D, X, X" and n are each as defined above.
Namely, the compound (XI) is obtainable from the compound (XXI) through the compounds (XXII) and (XXIII) according to the method as described in Chem. Ber., 99, 2566 (1966). Alternatively, the compound (XI) may be prepared according to the method as described in JP-A-9753/1985. The compound (XI) is then converted into the compound (IX) according to the method as described in JP-A-110576/1983.
The compound (III) may be produced from the compound (XXV) through the compounds (VIII)' and (VI) according to the methods as described in JP-A-87262/1985 and JP-A-216858/1984.
The compound (V) may be obtained by reacting the compound (IX) as above prepared with the compound (V').
Process (B):
The reaction proceeds as shown in the following scheme: ##STR16## wherein D' is an ethenylene group or an ethynylene group and A, B and n are each as defined above.
Namely, the compound (XIII) is obtainable by hydrogenation of the compound (XII). Hydrogenation may be carried out by any conventional procedure. For instance, catalytic hydrogenation in the presence of a catalyst can be effectively adopted. As the catalyst, there may be used any conventional one such as a metal catalyst (e.g. platinum, palladium, rhodium nickel, cobalt) optionally supported on a carrier (i.e. carbon). Preferably, the reaction is effected in an inert solvent such as benzene, toluene, xylene, methanol, ethanol, ether, tetrahydrofuran, dioxane or ethyl acetate. The reaction can proceed at an ordinary temperature under a normal pressure and may be accelerated by heating and/or pressurization. When desired, the reaction may be controlled by cooling. The reaction is completed by absorption of a theoretical amount of hydrogen. The reaction mixture thus obtained may be subjected to post-treatment by a per se conventional procedure so as to recover the product therefrom, optionally followed by purification.
The starting compound (XII) is obtainable by either one of Processes (A), (C) and (D).
Process (C):
The reaction proceeds in the following way: ##STR17## wherein A, B and n are each as defined above.
The compound (XV) is obtainable by subjecting the compound (XIV), the compound (IX) and formaldehyde to the Mannich reaction in an inert solvent.
In the reaction, a metallic ion plays a role as the catalyst. Particularly, copper chloride, copper sulfate, copper acetate or iron chloride is useful for this purpose. As the inert solvent, there may be employed water, dioxane, tetrahydrofuran, ether, methylene glycol dimethyl ether, methyl cellosolve, etc. The reaction may be accelerated by heating at a temperature of not higher than the refluxing temperature or controlled by cooling.
The starting compounds (XIV) and (IX) are obtainable by Process (A).
Process (D):
The reaction proceeds as shown in the following scheme: ##STR18## wherein A, B and n are each as defined above.
The compound (XVI) is produced by catalytic hydrogenation of the compound (XV). The catalytic hydrogenation may be carried out by treatment of the compound (XV) with hydrogen in the presence of a catalyst, preferably in a liquid medium so as to attain the absorption of an equimolar amount of hydrogen. As the catalyst, there may be employed any one conventionally used for hydrogenation, and its examples are platinum, palladium, rhodium, nickel, cobalt, etc. There may be also employed as the catalyst such a partial reduction catalyst having lesser catalytic activity as palladium-calcium carbonate or palladium-barium sulfate. When desired, the partial reduction catalyst as stated above may be further poisoned with an amine, a sulfur compound or a lead compound so as to reduce its catalytic activity. A typical exmaple is Lyndler catalyst. The catalytic hydrogenation is normally effected in an inert solvent such as benzene, toluene, hexane, methanol, ethanol, diethyl ether, tetrahydrofuran or ethyl acetate. The reaction can proceed at an ordinary temperature under an ordinary pressure, but it may be effected at an elevated temperature and/or under an elevated pressure. If necessary, the reaction may be performed under a controlled condition, e.g. under cooling. After completion of the reaction, the reaction mixture may be subjected to posttreatment by a per se conventional procedure so as to recover the product.
The starting compound (XV) is obtainable by either Process (A) or (C).
Process (E)
The process comprises the following reaction: ##STR19## wherein either one of M and L is ##STR20## and the other is a hydrogen atom, either one of Y and Y' is a hydroxyl group and the other is a hydrogen atom, and A, B and n are each as defined above.
Thus, the above process covers the following two procedures: ##STR21## wherein A, B and n are each as defined above.
The compound (XVIII) is obtained by reacting the compound (XVII) with the compound (IX) in an inert solvent, preferably at a refluxing temperature. Examples of the inert solvent are benzene, toluene, xylene, dimethylformamide, acetonitrile, n-butanol, etc.
The starting compounds (XVII) and (IX) may be prepared according to Process (A). ##STR22## wherein A, B and n are each as defined above.
The compound (XX) is obtained by reacting the compound (IV) with the compound (XIX) in an inert solvent in the presence of a base, preferably at room temperature or under heating. Examples of the inert solvent are benzene, toluene, xylene, dimethylformamide, acetonitrile, n-butanol, etc. As the base, there may be exemplified an organic or inorganic base such as a tertiary amine (e.g. triethylamine, pyridine), an alkali metal or alkaline earth metal carbonate (e.g. sodium carbonate, potassium carbonate), an alkali metal or alkaline earth metal bicarbonate (e.g. sodium bicarbonate, potassium bicarbonate) or an alkali metal or alkaline earth metal hydride (e.g. sodium hydride, potassium hydride).
The starting compounds (IV) and (XIX) may be prepared according to Process (A).
Process (F) ##STR23## wherein A, B, D and n are each as defined above.
Namely, the compound (I) is obtained by oxidation of the compound (XXIV). The oxidation may be carried out by treatment of the compound (XXIV) with an oxidizing agent in an inert solvent, if necessary, under heating or cooling. Examples of the oxidizing agent are organic peracids (e.g. perbenzoic acid, m-chloroperbenzoic acid, monoperoxyphthalic acid, performic acid, peracetic acid, pertrifluoroacetic acid), hydrogen peroxide, manganese dioxide, chromic acid, periodic acid, N-halogenated carboxylic acid amide, potassium permanganate, etc. The inert solvent may be chosen from hydrocarbons (e.g. pentane, cyclohexane, benzene, toluene), halogenated hydrocarbons (e.g. carbon tetrachloride, chloroform, methylene dichloride, chlorobenzene), alcohols (e.g. methanol, ethanol, butanol), acetic acid, diethyl ether, pyridine, acetone, dimethylformamide, dimethylsulfoxide, etc.
The starting compound (XXIV) can be prepared by Process (A).
The imide derivatives (I) of the present invention can be combined with various kinds of acids to form their acid addition salts. Examples of the acids are hydrochloric acid, hydrobromic acid, hydroiodic acid, sulfuric acid, acetic acid, oxalic acid, citric acid, malic acid, lactic acid, fumaric acid, maleic acid, etc. Treatment of the acid addition salts with alkalis can produce the imide derivatives (I) in a free base form.
As stated above, the imide derivatives (I) of the invention exhibit a significant neuroleptic activity. Yet, they have only a very weak extrapyramidal activity which is a typical side effect as generally observed in conventional neuroleptic drugs of the butyrophenone series and the phenothiazine series. In addition, it may be noted that the neuroleptic activity of conventional spiroimide compounds is remarkably alleviated when administered orally, while that of the imide derivatives (I) according to this invention is kept significant even when administered orally.
The above facts are well evidenced by the pharmacological test data as set forth below.
Test method
(1) Neuroleptic activity
This activity was examined through the anti-climbing behavior test, i.e. the test for suppressing the climbing behavior induced by apomorphine in mice. A designated amount of the test compound was orally administered to several groups of dd strain male mice (bodyweight, 22 to 25 g; one group, 5 mice), and each of the animals was charged in an individual column cage of 12 cm in diameter and 14 cm in height having metal poles (each pole, 2 mm in diameter) vertically installed and arranged along the periphery at intervals of 1 cm. After 50 minutes, apomorphine (1.0 mg/kg) was subcutaneously injected, and 10 minutes after the injection, the behavior was observed during 10 minutes. Evaluation was made on the basis of the following criteria [P. Protais et al.: Psychopharmacology, 50, 1-6 (1976)]:
______________________________________Score Evaluation______________________________________0 All the paws were on the floor1 Only forepaws seized the pole of the cage2 All the paws seized the pole of the case; climbing behavior observed discontinu- ously3 Continuous climbing behavior observed______________________________________
Climbing behavior control percentage per each dose was calculated by the following equation, and ED.sub.50 (50% effective dose) was determined thereon: ##EQU1##
The results are shown in Table 1.
(2) Extrapyramidal activity
This activity was examined through the catalepsy inducing activity test as described in M. Fujiwara et al.: Folia Formacol., Japon: 85, 259-274 (1985). A designated amount of the test compound was orally administered to dd strain male mice (bodyweight, 22 to 27 g), and 1 and 4 hours after the administration, catalepsy induction was checked according to the Wirth et al method. Thus, each of the animals was forced to hang the forepows onto a metal pole of 2.5 mm in diameter horizontally situated at a height of 5 cm to maintain a strained state. The test was made with three replications, and the presence of at least one case where the animal was kept in the strained state over a period of 30 seconds was deemed to have caused catalepsy.
The results are shown in Table 2.
TABLE 1______________________________________ ED.sub.50 (mg/kg) Subcutaneous OralCompound administration administration______________________________________Compound No. 1 0.15 2.0Compound No. 5 0.13 2.6Haloperidol 0.21 --Tiaspiron 0.23 >10______________________________________
TABLE 2______________________________________Compound ED.sub.50 (mg/kg)______________________________________Compound No. 1 68.1Compound No. 5 111.9Haloperidol <5______________________________________
From the above test results, it is understood that haloperidol used for comparison exhibits a significant neuroleptic activity (i.e. anti-climbing activity) but simultaneously exerts a considerably high level of extra-pyramidal activity (i.e. catalepsy inducing activity). The imide derivatives (I) of the invention and tiaspiron show nearly the same significant level in neuroleptic activity when administered subcutaneously, but the activity of the former is much higher than that of the latter when administered orally. Further, the extrapyamidal side effect of the imide derivatives (I) is much less than that of haloperidol. From these facts, it may be concluded that the imide derivatives (I) are neuroleptic drugs having a high selectivity and a high safety. Thus, the imide derivatives (I) are usable not only to ordinary patients with mental disorders but also to patients of old age who are apt to be affected by various side effects. Further, it may be noted that some of the imide derivatives (I) show not only neuroleptic activity but also other useful pharmacological activities such as analgesic activity, anti-allergic activity and circulatory activity.
For therapeutic administration, the imide derivatives (I) or their salts may be used in the form of conventional pharmaceutical preparations such as tablets, capsules, syrups, suspensions, solutions, emulsions and suppositories. Depending upon their administration route such as oral administration, parenteral administration or rectal administration, an appropriate preparation form may be used. In order to make those preparations, the imide derivatives (I) may be combined, if necessary, with suitable additives such as carriers, diluents, fillers, binders and stabilizers. In case of an injection, pharmaceutically acceptable buffers, solubilizers, isotonizers, etc. may be incorporated therein.
While the dosage of the imide derivatives (I) varies with the symptom, the age and weight of the patient, the dosage form, the administration mode and the like, the imide derivatives (I) may be, in general, administered to adults in an amount of about 0.5 to 1000 mg, preferably of about 3 to 500 mg per day in a single dose or divided doses.
Practical and presently preferred embodiments for production of the compound (I) as well as the intermediary compounds (II), (IV), (VIII), (X), (III), (V), (IX), (XI), (XIV), (XVII) and (XIX) are illustratively shown in the following Examples and Reference Examples.
