Isoquinolinylsulfonamides as anti-arrhythmic agents

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION
This invention relates to certain sulfonamides which are antiarrhythmic agents.
The compounds of the invention prolong the duration of the action potential in cardiac muscle and conducting tissue, and thereby increase refractoriness to premature stimuli. Thus, they are Class III antiarrhythmic agents according to the classification of Vaughan Williams (Anti-Arrhythmic Action, E. M. Vaughan Williams, Academic Press, 1980). They are effective in atria, ventricles and conducting tissue both in vitro and in vivo and are therefore useful for the prevention and treatment of a wide variety of ventricular and supraventricular arrhythmias including atrial and ventricular fibrillation. Because they do not alter the speed at which impulses are conducted, they have less propensity than current drugs (mostly Class I) to precipitate or aggravate arrhythmias, and also produce less neurological side effects. Some of the compounds also have some positive inotropic activity and therefore are particularly beneficial in patients with impaired cardiac pump function.
SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION
Thus the invention provides compounds of the formula: ##STR2## and their pharmaceutically acceptable salts, wherein
R.sup.1 is C.sub.1 -C.sub.4 alkyl;
R is C.sub.1 -C.sub.4 alkyl;
X is CH.sub.2, CO or CH(OH);
n is 2, 3 or 4; and
Het is a 5- or 6-membered nitrogen-containing heterocyclic group which is attached to the adjacent carbon atom by a carbon or nitrogen atom and optionally contains a further heteroatom selected from O and N, said 5- or 6-membered nitrogen-containing heterocyclic group being either (i) substituted by a phenyl or benzyl group or (ii) fused at two adjacent carbon atoms to a benzene ring, said benzene ring being optionally substituted by 1 or 2 substituents each independently selected from halo and C.sub.1 -C.sub.4 alkyl, and said 5- or 6-membered nitrogen-containing heterocyclic group being optionally substituted by up to 2 substituents each independently selected from oxo, halo and C.sub.1 -C.sub.4 alkyl, with the proviso that only one oxo substituent can be present.
"Halo" means F, Cl, Br or I. C.sub.3 and C.sub.4 alkyl groups can be straight or branched chain.
Preferably, "Het" is a group of the formula: ##STR3## wherein R.sup.2 is phenyl or benzyl; R.sup.3 is H, halo or C.sub.1 -C.sub.4 alkyl (preferably H or CH.sub.3); R.sup.4, which is attached to a carbon atom of the benzene ring portion, is H, halo or C.sub.1 -C.sub.4 alkyl (preferably H, Cl or CH.sub.3); and the dotted line represents an optional bond.
The most preferred groups represented by "Het" are as follows: ##STR4##
Preferably, R.sup.1 is CH.sub.3, R is CH.sub.3 or C.sub.2 H.sub.5 (most preferably CH.sub.3) and n is 2 or 3 (most preferably 2).
Preferably, X is --CH.sub.2 -- or --CH(OH)--.
A preferred individual compound has the formula: ##STR5##
The pharmaceutically acceptable salts of the compounds of the formula (I) include acid addition salts formed from acids which form non-toxic acid addition salts containing pharmaceutically acceptable anions, such as hydrochloride, hydrobromide, hydroiodide, sulphate or bisulphate, phosphate or hydrogen phosphate, acetate, maleate, fumarate, lactate, tartrate, citrate, gluconate, benzoate, methanesulphonate, besylate and p-toluenesulphonate salts. The salts are preparable by conventional techniques.
For assessment of effects of the compounds on atrial refractoriness, guinea pig right hemiatria are mounted in a bath containing physiological salt solution, and one end is connected to a force transducer. Tissues are stimulated at 1 Hz using field electrodes. Effective refractory period (ERP) is measured by introducing premature stimuli (S.sub.2) after every 8th basic stimulus (S.sub.1). The S.sub.1 S.sub.2 coupling interval is gradually increased until S.sub.2 reproducibly elicits a propagated response. This is defined as the ERP. The concentration of compound required to increase ERP by 25% (ED.sub.25) is then determined. ERP is also measured in guinea pig right papillary muscles incubated in physiological salt solution. Muscles are stimulated at one end using bipolar electrodes and the propagated electrogram is recorded at the opposite end via a unipolar surface electrode. ERP is determined as above using the extrastimulus technique. Conduction time is obtained from a digital storage oscilloscope by measuring the interval between the stimulus artefact and the peak of the electrogram (i.e. the time required for the impulse to travel along the length of the muscle).
Atrial and ventricular ERP's are also measured in anaesthetised or conscious dogs by the extrastimulus technique whilst the atrium or right ventricle is being paced at a constant rate.
The compounds of the formula (I) can be administered alone but will generally be administered in admixture with a pharmaceutical carrier selected with regard to the intended route of administration and standard pharmaceutical practice. They can be administered both to patients suffering from arrhythmias and also prophylactically to those likely to develop arrhythmias. For example they may be administered orally in the form of tablets containing such excipients as starch of lactose, or in capsules either alone or in admixture with excipients, or in the form of elixirs or suspensions containing flavouring or colouring agents. They may be injected parenterally, for example, intravenously, intramuscularly or subcutaneously. For parenteral administration, they are best used in the form of a sterile aqueous solution which may contain other solutes, for example, enough salts or glucose to make the solution isotonic.
For administration to man in the curative or prophylactic treatment of cardiac conditions such as ventricular and supraventricular arrhythmias, including atrial and ventricular fibrillation, it is expected that oral dosages of the compounds of the invention will be in the range from 2 to 150 mg daily, taken in and up to 4 divided doses per day, for an average adult patient (70 kg). Dosages for intravenous administration would be expected to be within the range 1.0 to 20 mg per single dose as required. A severe cardiac arrythmia is preferably treated by the i.v. route in order to effect a rapid conversion to the normal rhythm. Thus for a typical adult patient individual tablets or capsules might contain 2 to 50 mg of active compound, in a suitable pharmaceutically acceptable vehicle or carrier. Variations may occur depending on the weight and condition of the subject being treated as will be known to medical practitioners.
Thus the present invention provides a pharmaceutical composition comprising a compound of the formula (I) as defined above or pharmaceutically acceptable salt thereof, together with a pharmaceutically acceptable diluent or carrier.
The invention also provides a method of preventing or reducing cardiac arrhythmias in a human being, which comprises administering to said human an effective amount of a compound of the formula (I) or pharmaceutically acceptable salt thereof, or of a pharmaceutical composition as defined above.
The invention yet further provides a compound of the formula (I) or a pharmaceutically acceptable salt thereof, for use as a medicament.
The invention also provides the use of a compound of the formula (I), or a pharmaceutically acceptable salt thereof, for the manufacture of a medicament for the prevention or reduction of cardiac arrhythmias.
DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION
The compounds of the formula (I) can be prepared by the following general routes:
(1) The first route to compounds in which X is --CH.sub.2 -- or --CO-- can be illustrated as follows: ##STR6## Q is a suitable leaving group, e.g. Cl, Br, I, methanesulphonyloxy, phenylsulphonyloxy or p-toluenesulphonyloxy [preferably Br], R, R.sup.1, Het and n are as defined for formula (I), and X is --CH.sub.2 -- or CO.
The reaction is preferably carried out in the presence of a base ("acid acceptor") such as triethylamine or sodium bicarbonate. Typically, the reaction is carried out in a suitable solvent, e.g., ethanol or acetonitrile at room temperature. The product can then be isolated and purified conventionally.
The starting materials of the formula (II) are either known compounds or are available conventionally as will be known to those skilled in the art.
The starting materials of the formula (III) are either known compounds or can be obtained conventionally. For example, intermediates in which "Het" is linked by a nitrogen atom to the adjacent carbon atom can be prepared as follows: ##STR7## Methods (a) and (b) are illustrated in detail in the subsequent experimental section.
(2) This route to compounds in which X is --CH.sub.2 -- or --CH(OH)-- is illustrated schematically as follows: ##STR8## Q is a leaving group as defined in route (1) above and is preferably Br; R, R.sup.1, Het and n are as defined for formula (I), and X is --CH.sub.2 -- or --CH(OH)--.
The reaction is typically carried out in a suitable organic solvent, e.g., ethanol, and in the presence of a base ("acid acceptor"), e.g., triethylamine, sodium bicarbonate, potassium carbonate or pyridine at, say, 50.degree.-90.degree. C., and preferably under reflux. The product can then be isolated and purified conventionally.
The starting materials of the formula (V) are either known compounds or are obtainable conventionally, e.g. via the first step of method (b) in route (1) above.
The starting materials (IV) are again available conventionally, e.g. as follows: ##STR9##
When H.sub.2 over Pd/C is used for the debenzylation, this reduces a carbonyl group represented by X to --CH(OH)--.
(3) The compounds of the formula (I) in which X is CH.sub.2 can also be prepared by the acylation of the corresponding amino compounds according to the following procedure: ##STR10##
Acylation is carried out conventionally, e.g., using an acid chloride or bromide of the formula R.sup.1 SO.sub.2 Cl or R.sup.1 SO.sub.2 Br, or an anhydride of the formula (R.sup.1 SO.sub.2).sub.2 O. The reaction is typically carried out in a suitable organic solvent, e.g., methylene chloride, at room temperature. The reaction is optionally carried out in the presence of an acid acceptor such as triethylamine, pyridine, sodium bicarbonate or potassium carbonate. The presence of an acid acceptor is preferred when a sulphonyl chloride or bromide is used as the acylating agent in which case the reaction is preferably carried out in pyridine. The product can be isolated and purified conventionally.
The starting materials (VI) are obtainable essentially by the methodology of routes (1) and (2), e.g.,: ##STR11##
(4) The compounds of the formula (I) in which X is --CH(OH)-- can also be prepared as follows: ##STR12##
The presence of an amino-protecting group is preferred.
Typical amino-protecting groups are benzyl and t-butyl, removable, respectively, by treatment with H.sub.2 over Pd/C and trifluoroacetic acid.
Benzyl is the preferred amino-protecting group.
The reaction of the oxirane (IX) with compound (III) is typically carried out in the presence of a base, e.g., triethylamine, and in a suitable organic solvent, e.g., isopropanol, at, say, 50.degree.-90.degree. C., and preferably under reflux. The product (X) can then be recovered and purified conventionally. Any amino-protecting group is then removed conventionally. For example, benzyl protecting groups are conveniently removed by hydrogenation in a suitable organic solvent, e.g. ethanol, containing Pd/C at, say, 50 psi and 40.degree.-70.degree. C. The final product can then be isolated and purified conventionally.
The starting materials (IX) can be obtained conventionally, e.g. as follows: ##STR13##
(5) The compounds of the formula (I) in which X is --CH(OH)-- are however most conveniently prepared by the reduction of the corresponding carbonyl compounds (X=CO). The preferred reducing agent is sodium borohydride, the reaction being typically carried out in ethanol at room temperature. Of course, other reducing agents such as H.sub.2 over a catalyst (e.g. Pd/C), NaCNBH.sub.3 or LiAlH.sub.4 can be used.
(6) Acid addition salts are obtainable conventionally, e.g. by reaction of a solution of the free base with ethereal hydrogen chloride or citric acid, etc., followed by recovery of the salt by filtration or evaporation of the solution.

The heterocyclic ethylamine starting material used in Example 4 was prepared as follows:
PREPARATION 1
(A) 2-(2H-Phthalazin-1-on-2-yl)-N-methyl-N-benzylethylamine hydrochloride ##STR36##
2H-Phthalazin-1-one (14.6 g) was stirred at 50.degree. in dry dimethylformamide solution to which sodium hydride (4.5 g, 60% in oil) was added portionwise. After 4 hours N-benzyl-N-methyl-2-chloroethylamine (18.35 g) was added to the reaction mixture and stirring was continued at 50.degree. for 18 hours. The solvent was then removed and the residue partitioned between water and methylene chloride, the aqueous phase was extracted twice more with methylene chloride and the organic phases were combined and evaporated to give an oil. Chromatography of the oil on silica [Merck `Kieselgel 60` (Trade Mark)] eluting with methylene chloride gave, after combination and evaporation of appropriate fractions, the free base of the product as a yellow oil (23.8 g). A portion of this oil (0.5 g) was dissolved in ether, ethereal hydrogen chloride was added, and the precipitate was collected and recrystallised from ethyl acetate/methanol to give the title compound, yield 0.45 g, m.p. 198.degree.-200.degree..
Analysis %: Found: C,65.15; H,6.0; N,12.7; Calculated for C.sub.18 H.sub.19 N.sub.3 O.HCl: C,65.55; H,6.1; N,12.7.

A solution of 2-(2H-phthalazin-1-on-2-yl)-N-methyl-N-benzylethylamine (41.5 g) in ethanol (1000 ml) and concentrated hydrochloric acid (50 ml) containing 5% palladium on charcoal (4.1 g) was stirred under a hydrogen atmosphere (50 p.s.i.) at room temperature for 18 hours. The reaction mixture was filtered and evaporated to afford a solid which was recrystallised from isopropanol to afford the title compound, yield 22.5 g, m.p. 200.degree.-201.degree..
Analysis %: Found: C,55.0; H,5.8; N,17.3; Calculated for C.sub.11 H.sub.13 N.sub.3 O.HCl: C,55.1; H,5.9; N,17.5.
The heterocyclic ethylamine intermediates used in Examples 5 to 7 and 10 to 14, and the heterocyclic propylamine intermediate used in Example 17, were all prepared analogously to the method of Preparation 1 parts (A) and (B).
2-(2H-3,4-Dihydroisoquinol-1-on-2-yl)-N-methylethylamine used in Example 8 was prepared similarly to the procedure of Preparation 1 parts (A) and (B) except that isoquinol-1-one was used, the hydrogenation step (B) also converting the isoquinolonyl group to 3,4-dihydroisoquinolonyl.
The heterocyclic ethylamine starting material used in Example 9 was prepared analogously to the procedure of Example 3 parts (A) and (B).
The heterocyclic ethylamine starting materials used in Examples 15 and 16 are known compounds. The indole is commercially available and the quinoline is described in Monatsch. Chem., 83, 926 (1952).
EXAMPLE 18

After evaporation to dryness, the product was partitioned between water and methylene chloride and the aqueous layer was extracted twice with methylene chloride. The organic extracts were combined, dried (MgSO.sub.4), filtered and evaporated to give a dark brown oil (12.8 g). This oil was dissolved in dry ether and an ethereal solution of hydrochloric acid was added until precipitation was complete. The resultant pale brown solid was crystallised from ethyl acetate/methanol to give the title compound as white crystals, yield 7.56 g, m.p. 204.degree.-205.degree..
N.M.R. (CDCl.sub.3): .delta.=7.8-8.5(m,9H); 4.4(t,2H); 3.0-3.7(m,7H).
(B) N-(4-Aminophenethyl)-N-methyl-2-(2H-phthalazin-1-on-2-yl)ethylamine ##STR39##
Stannous chloride dihydrate (13.05 g) was dissolved in concentrated hydrochloric acid and stirred at 55.degree. C. N-Methyl-N-(4-nitrophenethyl)-2-(2H-phthalazin-1-on-2-yl)ethylamine hydrochloride (7.5 g) was added portionwise over 1 hour and the solution was then heated a further 4 hours at 100.degree. C. The partly cooled solution was poured onto crushed ice containing 500 ml of a 20% aqueous solution of sodium hydroxide and then extracted three times with methylene chloride. The resultant organic extracts were combined, dried (MgSO.sub.4), filtered and evaporated to give a pale yellow oil (6.0 g). Chromatography of the oil on silica [Merck "Kieselgel 60" (Trade Mark)] eluting with methylene chloride gave, after collection and evaporation of appropriate fractions, the title compound as a pale yellow oil (3.5 g) which was used in part (C) without further purification.
(C) N-(4-Methanesulphonamidophenethyl)-N-methyl-2-(2H-phthalazin-1-on-2-yl)ethylamine hydrochloride ##STR40##
To a solution of N-(4-aminophenethyl)-N-methyl-2-(2H-phthalazin-1-on-2-yl)ethylamine (2.0 g) in methylene chloride (15 ml) was added dropwise with stirring methanesulphonyl chloride (0.7 g). After stirring at room temperature for 16 hours, the product was evaporated to dryness to give a white solid (2.8 g). The solid was treated with sodium bicarbonate solution and the mixture extracted three times with methylene chloride. The combined organic extracts were dried (MgSO.sub.4), filtered and evaporated to give a yellow oil (2.3 g). Chromatography of this oil on silica [Merck "Kieselgel 60" (Trade Mark)] eluting with ethyl acetate gave, after collection and evaporation of appropriate fractions, a colourless oil which was dissolved in dry ether. An excess of an ethereal hydrochloric acid solution was then added. The resultant precipitated solid, after drying, gave the title compound, yield 1.6 g, m.p. 158.degree.-160.degree..
