Description

This invention relates to a production of isoxazolo[3,4-d]pyrimidines which are of value as medicines, said compounds having the formula: ##STR2## wherein R.sup.1, R.sup.2 and R.sup.3, respectively, are hydrogen, lower alkyl, cycloalkyl, or aryl which may be substituted by halogen.
As to a synthesis of isoxazolopyrimidines, it is reported by Senda et al. that 5,7-dimethyl-5H,7H-isoxazolo[3,4-d]pyrimidine-4,6-dione was obtained by reacting 6-chloro-5-formyl-1,3-dimethyluracil with hydroxylamine hydrochloride in Abstracts of the 96th Annual Meeting of Pharmaceutical Society of Japan, page 114 (1976).
The principal object of the present invention is to provide an industrially feasible method for producing the compound (I). Another object is to provide use of the compound (I) as an antiinflammatory-analgesic drug. Other objects will be made clear from the description and claims appearing hereinafter.
Thus, the present invention relates to a method for producing the compound (I), which comprises reacting a compound of the formula: ##STR3## wherein R.sup.1 and R.sup.2 have the same meanings as defined hereinabove, with a compound the formula:
(R.sup.3 CO).sub.2 O (III)
wherein R.sup.3 has the same meaning as defined hereinabove, or with a compound of the formula:
R.sup.3 C(OR.sup.4).sub.3 (IV)
wherein R.sup.3 has the same meaning as defined hereinbefore, and R.sup.4 is lower alkyl.
Referring to the above formulas, the lower alkyl groups designated by R.sup.1, R.sup.2 and R.sup.3 are preferably straightchain or branched lower alkyls of up to 6 carbon atoms (e.g. methyl, ethyl, n-propyl, i-propyl, n-butyl, i-butyl, n-pentyl, i-pentyl, n-hexyl, i-hexyl). Particularly desirable are lower alkyls containing up to 3 carbon atoms (e.g. methyl, ethyl, n-propyl, i-propyl), especially methyl or ethyl. The cycloalkyl group is preferably a group of 5 to 7 members (e.g. cyclopentyl, cyclohexyl, cycloheptyl), with cyclohexyl being particularly desirable. As preferred examples of the aryl group, there may be mentioned phenyl and naphthyl, with phenyl being particularly desirable. This aryl group may be substituted by halogen which may preferably be chlorine or bromine, the former substituent being particularly desirable. The lower alkyl R.sup.4 in the above formula (IV) is preferably one of the lower alkyls containing up to 6 carbon atoms mentioned for R.sup.1, R.sup.2 and R.sup.3, with methyl and ethyl being particularly desirable species.
According to this invention, the compound (I) can be obtained in a high yield and, if desired, in the form of having an optional substituent R.sup.3 at 3 position of the isoxaolzopyrimidine ring.
The starting compound (II) employed according to this invention may be synthesized, for example by the following methods. ##STR4## [In the above formulas, R.sup.1 and R.sup.2 have the same meanings as defined hereinbefore] It should be noticed that the above compound (II) may be employed in tautomeric form.
When the starting compound (II) is reacted with the compound of formula (III) in accordance with this invention, it is advisable to employ about 2 to 10 molar equivalents of (III) to each mole of compound (II). Normally it is desirable to conduct the reaction in a solvent that will not interfere with the reaction (e.g. dioxane, toluene, xylene) at a temperature in the range of about 100.degree. to 150.degree. C. for about 0.5 to 1 hour. The compound (III) may also be relied on to act as the solvent as well.
When the compound (II) is reacted with the compound (IV), it is desirable to employ about 2 to 10 molar equivalents of compound (IV) to each mole of compound (II). It is normally advisable to conduct this reaction in a solvent that will not interfere with the reaction (e.g. dimethylformamide, dimethylacetamide, formamide, pyridine, picoline) at a temperature in the range of about 100.degree. to 150.degree. C. for about 0.5 to 1 hour.
The contemplated product (I) thus produced may be easily isolated by a conventional separation and purification procedure, for example by removing the reaction solvent by distillation and recrystallizing the residue from an appropriate solvent. In certain cases, the product (I) may be isolated in the form of a salt, e.g. an organic amine salt (choline salt, ethylenediamine salt, etc.).
Where R.sup.1 or/and R.sup.2 in a particular product compound (I) obtained by the method of this invention are hydrogen, the compound may be easily converted to another compound of the formula (I) by alkylating said position. As examples of the alkylating agent for this purpose, there may be mentioned alkyl halides (e.g. methyl iodide, ethyl iodide, propyl iodide, isopropyl bromide, butyl iodide) and alkyl sulfates (e.g. dimethyl sulfate, diethyl sulfate). The alkylating agent is employed in a proportion of about 1 to 10 molar equivalents based on the compound (I) and this alkylation is performed in the presence of an acid acceptor (e.g. sodium hydroxide, potassium carbonate) and, normally, in a solvent such as dimethylformamide or tetrahydrofuran. Though it depends upon the particular alkylating agent employed, the reaction temperature suited for this reaction is normally in the neighborhood of room temperature. The reaction time is somewhere between about 1 hour and about 10 hours.
The isoxazolo[3,4-d]pyrimidines (I) according to this invention display antiinflammatory and analgesic activities in various mammals, being of value for use as antiinflammatory-analgesic agents in the management of headache, tooth ache, pain after extraction of the tooth, cervicobrachial syndrome, neuralgia, arthritis and other disturbances.
The antiinflammatory and analgesic properties of some representative isoxazolo[3,4-d]pyrimidines (I) are set forth below in Table 1 and Table 2.

Where the isoxazolo[3,4-d]pyrimidines (I) are used as antiinflammatory-analgesic drugs, they may be safely administered orally or parenterally, either as they are in bulk form or in admixture with suitable pharmaceutically acceptable carriers, excipients or/and diluents, the dosage forms including powders, granules, capsules, injections, suppositories, etc. The proper dosage depends upon such factors as the disease to be managed, symptoms, subject, and route of administration, but where the compounds are used as antiinflammatory-analgesic drugs for the management of headache, dentalgia or cervicobrachial syndrome in adult humans, the preferred dosage is about 30 to 200 mg per dose or about 100 to 600 mg daily by the oral route.
Referring to the isoxazole[3,4-d]pyrimidines (I) as they are used as antiinflammatory-analgesic drugs, preferred species of (I) are the compounds (I) wherein the substituents R.sup.1, R.sup.2 and R.sup.3 are such that R.sup.1 is lower alkyl, R.sup.2 is hydrogen or lower alkyl, and R.sup.3 is hydrogen or lower alkyl. The lower alkyl has been defined hereinbefore. More specifically, preferred R.sup.1 and R.sup.2 respectively are methyl or ethyl, and preferred R.sup.3 is hydrogen, methyl or ethyl. Regarding physical and chemical stabilities, the compound (I) wherein R.sup.3 is lower alkyl is superior to that wherein R.sup.3 is hydrogen.
Among the isoxazolo[3,4-d]pyrimidines (I), the compounds of the formula: ##STR5## wherein R.sup.1 and R.sup.2 have the same meanings as hereinbefore defined; R.sup.3' is lower alkyl or aryl, are novel and also have sedative, antidepressant and gastric juice secretion inhibitory activities in various mammalian animals and are of value as sedatives, antidepressants, gastric juice secretion inhibitors for the management of anxiety, hysteria, depression, gastric and duodenal ulcers and other diseases.
Referring to the above formula, (I'), the lower alkyl or aryl group designated by R.sup.3' may be defined as the same as the aforementioned lower alkyl or aryl R.sup.3, alkyls of 2 to 5 carbon atoms being particularly desirable for R.sup.3'. In certain instances, the aforementioned compounds (I') may be used in the form of salts similar to those mentioned in connection with compounds (I). Where the isoxazolo[3,4-d]pyrimidines (I') are used as analgesics, antidepressants, and gastric juice secretion inhibitors, they may be safely administered orally or by parenterally, either as they are or in admixture with suitable pharmaceutically acceptable carriers, excipients or/and diluents, the dosage forms including powders, granules, tablets, capsules, injections and suppositories, to mention a few. The dosage depends upon such factors as the disease to be managed, symptoms, subject and route of administration but where the compounds are administered to adult humans as sedatives and gastric juice secretion inhibitors for the management of anxiety or gastric ulcer, the preferred oral dosage is about 20 to 100 mg per dose or about 60 to 300 mg daily.
