Abstract
Isoquinoline derivatives of the formula: wherein R represents alkyl of 1 through 10 carbon atoms, which are new compounds, possess pharmacological properties and are particularly active as anti-inflammatory, analgesic and antipyretic agents.
Description
This invention relates to new therapeutically useful isoquinoline derivatives, to processes for their preparation and to pharmaceutical compositions containing them.
The new isoquinoline derivatives of the present invention are those of the general formula: ##STR1## wherein R represents a straight- or branched-chain alkyl radical containing from 1 to 10 carbon atoms, and acid addition salts thereof.
The compounds of general formula I can exist in (R)-- and (S)-- forms and the invention includes both such forms and mixtures thereof.
According to a feature of the present invention the isoquinoline derivatives of general formula I are prepared by the process which comprises the reaction of a 5-aminoisoquinoline of the general formula: ##STR2## (wherein R is as hereinbefore defined) with a salt of the general formula: ##STR3## wherein R.sub.1 represents a chlorine atom, an alkylthio radical containing from 1 to 4 carbon atoms (preferably methylthio) or a benzylthio radical, and A.sup..crclbar. represents an anion such as a chloride, iodide, sulphate, tetrafluoroborate or fluorosulphonate ion.
When R.sub.1 represents a chlorine atom, A.sup..crclbar. represents a chloride ion. When R.sub.1 represents an alkylthio or benzylthio radical, A.sup..crclbar. represents an iodide, sulphate, tetrafluoroborate or fluorosulphonate ion.
When R.sub.1 represents a chlorine atom and A.sup..crclbar. represents a chloride ion, the reaction is preferably carried out in an organic solvent, such as acetonitrile, in the presence of a base, such as triethylamine, at a temperature of about 20.degree. C.
When R.sub.1 represents an alkylthio or benzylthio radical and A.sup..crclbar. represents an iodide, sulphate, tetrafluoroborate or fluorosulphonate ion, the reaction is preferably carried out in a basic organic solvent, such as pyridine, at a temperature of about 20.degree. C.
The salt of general formula III wherein R.sub.1 represents a chlorine atom and A.sup..crclbar. represents a chloride ion can be obtained by the reaction of a chlorinating agent, such as phosgene, phosphorus pentachloride, thionyl chloride or oxalyl chloride, on 1,5,10,10a-tetrahydrothiazolo[3,4-b]isoquinoline-3-thione of the formula: ##STR4## The reaction is generally carried out in an organic solvent or in a mixture of organic solvents, such as a mixture of toluene and tetrahydrofuran, at a temperature of from 0.degree. to 70.degree. C.
The salts of general formula III wherein R.sub.1 represents an alkylthio or benzylthio radical and A.sup..crclbar. represents an iodide, sulphate, tetrafluoroborate or fluorosulphonate ion, can be obtained by the reaction of a reactive ester of the general formula:
R.sub.2 -A.sub.1 V
(wherein R.sub.2 represents an alkyl radical containing 1 to 4 carbon atoms or a benzyl radical, and A.sub.1 represents the residue of a reactive ester such as an iodine atom or an alkoxysulphonyloxy radical), or of triethyloxonium tetrafluoroborate or methyl fluorosulphonate, with a compound of general formula IV. The reaction is generally effected, optionally in the presence of an organic solvent such as methylene chloride, at a temperature of about 20.degree. C.
The thiazoloisoquinoline derivatives of formula IV can be obtained by the reaction of carbon disulphide, in a basic medium, with a 1,2,3,4-tetrahydroisoquinoline of the general formula: ##STR5## wherein E represents a halogen, e.g. bromine or chlorine, atom or a hydroxysulphonyloxy radical. The reaction is generally carried out in an aqueous medium in the presence of sodium hydroxide at a temperature of about 20.degree. C.
Compounds of general formula VI can be obtained by the action of an inorganic acid on 3-hydroxymethyl-1,2,3,4-tetrahydroisoquinoline of the formula: ##STR6## the preparation of which is mentioned hereafter.
The compound of general formula VI wherein E represents the hydroxysulphonyloxy radical is generally prepared by treatment of 3-hydroxymethyl-1,2,3,4-tetrahydroisoquinoline with sulphuric acid in an aqueous medium at a temperature of about 100.degree. C., or in an organic solvent (such as dimethylformamide) in the presence of dicyclohexylcarbodiimide at a temperature of about 20.degree. C.
The compound of general formula VI wherein E represents the bromine atom is generally prepared by treatment of the said 3-hydroxymethyl compound with aqueous hydrobromic acid (48% w/v), at the reflux temperature of the reaction mixture, and isolating the product of general formula VI as its hydrobromide.
The compound of general formula VI wherein E represents the chlorine atom is generally prepared by treatment of the said 3-hydroxymethyl compound with thionyl chloride, in an organic solvent, such as chloroform saturated with hydrogen chloride gas, at the reflux temperature of the reaction mixture, and isolating the product of general formula VI as its hydrochloride.
3-Hydroxymethyl-1,2,3,4-tetrahydroisoquinoline can be prepared from phenylalanine in accordance with the method described by S. Yamada and T. Kunieda, Chem. Pharm. Bull., 15, 490, (1967).
When L-phenylalanine is used, the product of general formula I ultimately obtained is in the (S) form.
When D-phenylalanine is used, the product of general formula I ultimately obtained is in the (R) form.
When D,L-phenylalanine is used, the product of general formula I ultimately obtained is in the (R,S) form.
The 5-aminoisoquinolines of general formula II can be obtained from 3-alkylisoquinolines of the general formula: ##STR7## (wherein R is as hereinbefore defined) by application of the method described by N. P. Buu-Hoi et al., J. Chem. Soc., 3,924, (1964).
The 3-alkylisoquinolines of general formula VIII can be obtained in accordance with the method described by J. Murakoshi et al., Yakugaku Zasshi, 79, 1,578, (1959), or in accordance with the method described by F. Damerow, Ber., 27, 2,232, (1894).
According to a further feature of the present invention, the isoquinoline derivatives of general formula I are prepared by the process which comprises the cyclisation of a 1,2,3,4-tetrahydroisoquinoline of the general formula: ##STR8## wherein R is as hereinbefore defined. The cyclisation reaction is generally carried out by heating the compound of formula IX in an acid medium. It is particularly advantageous to effect the cyclisation at a temperature between 65.degree. and 100.degree. C. in an aqueous solution of an inorganic acid, for example in hydrochloric acid.
The 1,2,3,4-tetrahydroisoquinolines of general formula IX can be obtained by the reaction of an isothiocyanate of the general formula: ##STR9## (wherein R is as hereinbefore defined) with 3-hydroxymethyl-1,2,3,4-tetrahydroisoquinoline (prepared as mentioned heretofore). Generally the reaction is carried out in an organic solvent such as an alcohol, for example ethanol, operating at a temperature between 20.degree. and 50.degree. C.
The isothiocyanates of general formula X can be obtained by the reaction of carbon disulphide with a 5-aminoisoquinoline of general formula II, followed by the addition of dicyclohexylcarbodiimide. The reaction is generally carried out in the presence of a base such as a tertiary amine, for example triethylamine. Advantageously it is effected in an organic solvent, such as pyridine at a temperature between -10.degree. and 25.degree. C.
The isoquinoline derivatives of general formula I may be converted by known methods into acid addition salts. The acid addition salts may be obtained by the action of acids on the isoquinoline derivatives in appropriate solvents. As organic solvents there may be used alcohols, ketones, ethers or chlorinated hydrocarbons. The salt which is formed is precipitated, if necessary after concentrating the solution, and is isolated by filtration or by decantation.
The isoquinoline derivatives of general formula I and/or their acid addition salts can optionally be purified by physical methods such as crystallisation or chromatography.
The isoquinoline derivatives of general formula I and their acid addition salts possess useful pharmacological properties. They are particularly active as anti-inflammatory, analgesic and antipyretic agents.
The anti-inflammatory activity is demonstrated in rats at doses of between 5 and 80 mg/kg administered orally, in accordance with the technique of K. F. Benitz and L. M. Hall [Arch. Int. Pharmacodyn., 144, 185, (1963)].
The analgesic activity is demonstrated in rats at doses of between 2.5and 50 mg/kg administered orally, when using the technique of E. Siegmund et al., Proc. Soc. Exp. Biol. Med., 95, 729, (1957) and the technique of L. O. Randall and J. J. Selitto, Arch. Int. Pharmacodyn., 111, 409, (1957), modified by K. F. Swingle et al., Proc. Soc. Exp. Biol. Med., 137, 536, (1971).
The antipyretic activity is demonstrated in rats at doses of between 1.5 and 25 mg/kg administered orally, when using the technique of J. J. Loux et al., Toxicol. Appl. Pharmacol., 22, 674, (1972).
The toxicity in mice of the compounds according to the invention is greater than 300 mg/kg administered orally, and most of the compounds show no sign of toxicity in mice at a dose of 900 mg/kg administered orally.
For therapeutic purposes, the isoquinoline derivatives of general formula I may be employed as such or in the form of pharmaceutically acceptable acid addition salts, that is to say salts which are non-toxic at the doses used for therapy. Suitable acid addition salts are hydrochlorides, sulphates, nitrates, phosphate, acetates, propionates, succinates, benzoates, fumarates, maleates, tartrates, theophyllinacetates, salicylates, phenolphthalinates and methylene-bis-.beta.-hydroxynaphthoates.
The isoquinoline derivatives of general formula I wherein R represents a straight- or branched-chain alkyl radical containing 1 to 5 carbon atoms are of particular value, and especially those wherein R represents a straight-chain alkyl radical containing 1 to 4 carbon atoms which are the most active.
The following non-limitative Examples illustrate the preparation of isoquinoline derivatives of the present invention.
