Meta-substituted phenylalanine derivatives

Abstract

D,L-, L- and D-phenyl alanine derivatives of formula (I) defined in claim 1 in which R.sub.1 is an amidino-, guanidino-, oxamidino-, aminomethyl- or amino group have been discovered which effectively prevent blood coagulation or thrombosis. The antithrombotically active compounds have low toxicity and may be administered by mouth, subcutaneously or intravenously.

Description

The present invention relates to new proteinase inhibitors which contain a phenylalanine residue which carries a substitution on its phenyl ring. Variation of the substituent on the phenyl ring and in particular the introduction of hydrophobically substituted secondary amino acids led to the discovery of inhibitors showing improved bioavailability.

Proteinase inhibitors are potential drugs which can be used to control physiological processes induced and maintained by proteinases. For many endogenous and naturally occurring inhibitors, respectively, it has been shown that they can influence the activity of proteinases in vivo and alleviate hyperproteolytic states [see Horl, W. H. In: Design of Enzyme Inhibitors as Drugs, p. 573-581, (Sandler, M. and Smith, H. J., Eds.) Oxford, New York, Tokyo: Oxford University Press, 1989]. However, the therapeutic application of such inhibitors of relatively high molecular weight is limited due to their particular protein structure. As these inhibitors are not absorbed in the intestine upon oral administration on the one hand and exert an antigenic activity on the other hand, it was of great interest to search for synthetic enzyme inhibitors of low molecular weight.

The four classes of enzymes which are responsible for proteinase-dependent processes comprise the serine, thiol, metallo, and aspartate proteinases. Serine proteinases are proteolytic enzymes which possess a reactive serine residue in the active center. Enzymes which, such as trypsin, split off C-terminal peptide bonds of the basic amino acids arginine and lysine, belong to the trypsin family of the serine proteinases. In this group, those enzymes which participate in the defense systems of blood are of particular physiological significance. Particularly, they are the enzymes of the coagulation system, but also those which induce fibrinolysis, release kinin and produce the complement activation or those which themselves are components of the mentioned enzyme systems.

Blood coagulation is triggered by zymogen activation via two different pathways. The first, intrinsic pathway leads to blood coagulation via a chain of reactions mediated by blood constituents. The second, extrinsic pathway leads to coagulation via a shorter chain of reactions based on an interaction between blood and tissue constituents. Both ways produce the activation of the zymogen factor X into the serine proteinase factor X.sub.a which itself catalyzes the activation of prothrombin into the fibrinogen-coagulating serine proteinase, thrombin. Being a common product of the intrinsic as well as of the extrinsic activation pathway, factor X.sub.a appears to be a preferential target enzyme for inhibitory intervention in the blood coagulation process.

For the development of synthetic inhibitors for trypsin-like serine proteinases, benzamidine derivatives have been extensively investigated (J. Sturzebecher et al., Acta Biol. Med. Germ. 35, 1665-1676, 1976). Among them, amino acid derivatives containing a benzamidine moiety proved to be particularly favorable core structures (G. Wagner et al., Pharmazie 56, 597-603, 1981 and J. Sturzebecher et al., ibid, 639-641; UK Patent Application 2 007 663 A). Among these compounds, phenylalanine derivatives with a meta-oriented amidino group are selective factor X.sub.a inhibitors while analogous compounds with a para-oriented amidino group are the core structures for the development of selective thrombin inhibitors.

N.alpha.-tosylglycyl-3-amidinophenylalanine methyl ester (TAPAM; K.sub.i =8.4.times.10.sup.-7 mole/l) has been proposed as a selective factor X.sub.a -inhibiting amino acid derivative containing a benzamidine moiety and a meta-oriented amidino group (J. Sturzebecher et al., Thromb. Res. 54, 245-252, 1989). The most efficient thrombin inhibitor is the phenylalanine derivative N.alpha.-(2-naphthylsulfonylglycyl)-4-amidinophenylalanine piperidide (K.sub.i =6.times.10.sup.-9 mole/l) with a para-oriented amidino group which is designated as NAPAP (J. Sturzebecher et al., Thromb. Res. 29, 635-642, 1983).

Other types of selective inhibitors of factor X.sub.a and thrombin, as well, are known: the first group is comprised of the peptidyl-arginine-chloromethyl ketones, e.g. Ile-Glu-Gly-Arg-Ch.sub.2 Cl which inhibits factor X.sub.a (C. Kettner et al., Thromb. Res. 22, 645-652, 1981), or H-D-Phe-Pro-Arg-CH.sub.2 Cl which selectively inhibits thrombin (C. Kettner et al., Thromb. Res. 14, 969-973, 1979). A second group is comprised of the peptidylarginine aldehydes, e.g. Ile-Glu-Gly-Arg-H (S. Bajusz, Folia Haematol. 109, 16-21, 1982) and H-D-Phe-Pro-Arg-H (S. Bajusz, Int. J. Peptide Protein Res. 12, 217-221, 1978), which inhibit factor X.sub.a and thrombin, respectively. However, these inhibitors are relatively unstable and may cause undesired side reactions due to their reactive capacity. Further, selective thrombin inhibitors have been described: (2R,4R)-4-methyl-1-[N.alpha.-(3-methyl-1,2,3,5-tetrahydro-8-quinolinesulfonyl)-L-arginine]-2-pipecoline-carboxylic acid (R. Kikumoto et al., Biochemistry 23, 85-90, 1984) and the boronic acid derivative BOC-D-Phe-Pro-Boro-Arg-C.sub.10 H.sub.16 (see European Patent Application No. 0 293 881).

As therapeutically applicable, non-selective inhibitors of thrombin and of the plasma clotting factors X.sub.a and XII.sub.a as well as of kallikreins, enzymatic complement factors and trypsin, the methanesulfonic acid salt of the 4-(6-guanidino-hexanoyloxy)-benzoic acid ethyl ester (M. Muramatu et al., Biochim. Biophys. Acta 268, 221-224, 1972) and the dimethanesulfonic acid salt of the 6-amidino-2-naphthyl-p-guanidinobenzoic acid (see US Patent No. 4 454 338) have been described.

The anticoagulant and antithrombotic effects have been shown in vivo for all the mentioned inhibitors, whereas absorption after oral administration has so far only been observed for the aldehyde N-methyl-D-Phe-Pro-Arg-H (Bagdy et al., Thromb. Haemostas. 62, 535, 1989) and the boronic acid derivative BOC-D-Phe-Pro-Boro-Arg-C.sub.10 H.sub.16 (see European Patent Application No. 0 293 881).

The until now investigated thrombin inhibitors of the benzamidine type possess pharmacodynamic and pharmacokinetic properties which make them unfavorable for a therapeutic application. Their toxicity is relatively high with an LD.sub.50 ranging from 10 to 50 mg/kg (B. Kaiser et al., Pharmazie 42, 119-121, 1987). The compounds are more quickly excreted from the circulatory system than, e.g., the arginine derivative (2R,4R)-4-methyl-1-[N.alpha.-(3-methyl-1,2,3,5-tetrahydro-8-quinolinesulfonyl)-L-arginine]-2-pipe-coline-carboxylic acid and the boronic acid derivative BOC-D-Phe-Pro-Boro-Arg-C.sub.10 H.sub.16, respectively (J. Hauptmann et al., Pharmazie 46, 57-58, 1991). Upon oral application they are not absorbed in the intestine (B. Kaiser et al., Biomed. Biochim. Acta 44, 1201-1210, 1985). The responsibility for the inadequate pharmacological properties is probably attributable to the reduction in hydrophobicity caused by the highly basic amidino function (B. Kaiser et al., Pharmazie 42, 119-121, 1987). Experiments aimed at replacing the strongly basic amidino function in highly effective inhibitors by less basic groups failed; such modifications resulted in a significant loss in efficacy (J. Sturzebecher et al., Pharmazie 43, 782-783, 1988).

Accordingly, therapeutically applicable inhibitors of clotting factors with excellent pharmacological properties have been designed and synthesized. For this purpose, we started from phenylalanine derivatives with a meta-oriented amidino group which have been proven to be selective factor X.sub.a inhibitors (J. Sturzebecher et al , Thromb Res. 54 245-252, 1989). Based on the knowledge that an increase in hydrophobicity could cause a modification of the pharmacological properties, new inhibitor core structures could be found after reaching anti-factor X.sub.a activity. Therefore, the basic amidino group has been modified and hydrophobically substituted secondary amino acids have been introduced, respectively. The compound N.alpha.-2-naphthylsulfonyl-3-amidinophenylalanyl proline, for example, has been synthesized within this framework. It has been found, contrary to our expectations, that this compound does not selectively inhibit factor X.sub.a, but surprisingly inhibits thrombin. Furthermore, it has been observed that this compound possesses excellent pharmacokinetic properties. After subcutaneous application in rats, a relatively high blood level is reached which is maintained in an anticoagulantly effective concentration for a prolonged period of time. After oral administration to rats, the compound is absorbed by the intestine. This also applies to analogous compounds in which the amidino group has been modified, e.g. in derivatives having an oxamidino group. The new derivatives are also characterized by a reduced toxicity.

Such directly efficient inhibitors are thus appropriate as anticoagulants in various types of application.

Among the phenylalanine derivatives defined in the general claims, those compounds wherein

R.sup.1 represents a basic group of formula (a)=amidino, (b)=guanidino, (c)=oxamidino, (d)=aminomethyl or (e)=amino, R.sup.2 represents O-alkyl, O-cycloalkyl or aralkyl and n=0, or a heterocycloaliphatic residue as more precisely defined in formulas (h), (i), (k) and (l), R.sup.9 in formulas (h) and (i) being possibly a hydroxyl, straight or branched low alkoxy, cycloalkoxy or aralkoxy group, R.sup.4 represents an aryl or heteroaryl residue, preferentially .beta.-naphthyl, and n represents the number 0, are of particular significance.

3-Cyanobenzyl-dialkyl-acylamido-malonates of general formula II ##STR8## wherein Alk preferentially means --CH.sub.3 or --C.sub.2 H.sub.5, are converted into 3-cyanophenylalanine III ##STR9## in a mixture of 3N HCl and acetic acid by heating under reflux.

By sulfonylation of compounds of structure III with an aryl or heteroarylsulfonyl chloride, respectively, or acylation with a sulfonylated amino acid halide in the presence of a base, compounds of general formula IV ##STR10## are obtained, wherein n=0 or 1, and R.sup.3 and R.sup.4 have the denorations given in general formula I.

C. in an aprotic solvent and finally converted with an amino carboxylate or an amine.

According to a second coupling procedure, compounds of general formula IV are coupled according to the DCC procedure with corresponding amino carboxylates, whereby the compounds of structure IV are reacted with an adequate aprotic solvent with dicyclohexylcarbodiimide in the presence of 1-hydroxybenzotriazole and converted into compounds of structure V with the cited amino carboxylates or amines.

According to a third coupling method, compounds of structure IV are isolated after transformation into active esters with e.g. N-hydroxysuccinimide, 2,3,4,5,6,-pentafluorophenol or p-nitrophenol in the presence of dicyclohexylcarbodiimide, or converted without intermediate isolation into compounds of the general formula V with corresponding amino carboxylates or amines.

According to a fourth coupling method, compounds of structure IV, wherein n=0, are transformed with e.g. thionyl chloride into acid chlorides which are finally converted into compounds of the general formula V with corresponding amino carboxylates or amines.

By a mild alkaline or acidic hydrolysis of compounds of structure V with e.g. dilute NaOH or trifluoracetic acid, compounds having the carboxylic acid structure of general formula V are obtained, wherein R.sup.2, R.sup.3 and R.sup.4 are denoted as mentioned in general formula I and wherein R.sup.9 defined in R.sup.2 =OH.

Starting from compounds having the carboxylic acid structure V, further amino acids can be coupled according to the previously described methods.

By addition of H.sub.2 S to V having a carboxylic acid or carboxylate structure in pyridine in the presence of triethylamine, thioamides of general formula VI ##STR12## are obtained, wherein the denorations of the substituents R.sup.2, R.sup.3 and R.sup.4 correspond to those of the general formula I.

The denotations of n and R.sup.2 to R.sup.4 correspond to those of general formula I, Alk represents low alkyl, preferentially --CH.sub.3, and X means halogen, in general, iodine.

Moreover, compounds of structure V with a low alcohol, possibly in the presence of a solvent such as dioxane or chloroform, in the presence of an anhydrous hydrogen halide, can be converted into the imide carboxylate halides VIII ##STR14## whereby the compounds having a free --COOH group are simultaneously esterified with the alcohol used. The denotations of n and R.sup.2 to R.sup.4 correspond to those of general formula I, Alk represents low alkyl, preferentially --CH.sub.3 or --C.sub.2 H.sub.5, and X means halogen, in general, chlorine.

To represent the target compounds IX, ##STR15## wherein n=0 or 1, the denotations of the substituents R.sup.1 to R.sup.6 being analogous to those of general formula I and X=halogen, the thioimide carboxylate salts of general formula VII are converted into compounds of general formula IX in an alcoholic solution with ammonium acetate or an alkyl ammonium acetate, respectively, or the imide carboxylate salts (VIII) are converted into compounds of general structure IX in an alcoholic ammonia solution.

Compounds of general formula IX having a t-butoxy residue (R.sup.9) in the substituent R.sup.2 can further be transformed through hydrolysis with trifluoracetic acid into compounds of structure IX having a carboxylic acid structure (R.sup.9 =OH).

Compounds of general formula IX having an OH group (R.sup.2 or R.sup.9) can thereafter be transformed into compounds of general formula IX having a carboxylate structure (R.sup.2, R.sup.9 =O-alkyl, O-cycloalkyl, O-aralkyl) with preferentially low aliphatic (C.sub.1 -C.sub.8), cycloaliphatic or araliphatic alcohols, in the presence of hydrochloric acid or p-toluenesulfonic acid.

Compounds of general formula I wherein R.sup.1 =oxamidino (c) are synthesized in the same manner as compounds wherein R.sup.1 =amidino (a) via the intermediate products of general formulas II to VII. In the last step of synthesis, the thioimide carboxylate salts (VII) are converted with hydroxylammonium acetate into compounds of general formula I wherein R.sup.1 represents the oxamidino group (c).

Compounds of general formula I wherein R.sup.1 =aminomethyl (d) are also synthesized in this way via the intermediate products of general formulas II to V. In order to obtain the target compounds of general formula I wherein R.sup.1 =--CH.sub.2 --NH.sub.2, the cyano compounds (V) are catalytically reduced to aminomethyl compounds with e.g. Raney-Nickel/hydrogen in an alcoholic solution in the presence of ammonia. The free bases obtained are transformed into salts, preferentially hydrochlorides, in an appropriate way.

In principle, compounds of general formula I wherein R.sup.1 =guanidino (b) can be represented according to the same outline of synthesis as those having an amidino structure (a).

For that purpose, 3-nitrobenzyl-dialkyl-acylamidomalonates of general formula X, ##STR16## wherein Alk preferentially means --CH.sub.3 or --C.sub.2 H.sub.5, are converted into 3-nitrophenylalanine (XI) ##STR17## by heating under reflux in a mixture of 3N HCl and acetic acid.

Compounds XII and XIII ##STR18## are obtained in the same way as the corresponding cyano compounds IV and V, the denotations of n, R.sup.2, and R.sup.3 and R.sup.4 being the same.

By catalytic hydrogenation by means of e.g. Raney Nickel/hydrogen in an adequate solvent, the amino compounds of general formula XIV ##STR19## are obtained from structure XIII; these compounds are converted into the guanidino compounds of general formula I wherein R.sup.1 =guanidino (b) by means of an adequate guanylation reagent, e.g. 1-amidino-3,5-dimethyl-pyrazole nitrate.

Compounds having the general formula I wherein R.sup.1 =guanidino (b), oxamidino (c), aminomethyl (d) or amino (e), respectively, and with a t-butoxy residue (R.sup.9 ) in the substituent R.sup.2 can, by hydrolysis with trifluoracetic acid, be transformed into compounds having a carboxylic acid structure (R.sup.9 =OH) which can then be converted into compounds having a carboxylate structure (R.sup.9 =alkoxy) by esterification with lower alcohols, preferentially methanol, in the presence of hydrochloric acid or p-toluenesulfonic acid.

The biological activity of the compounds of the present invention was determined in vitro as well as in vivo. For characterizing the inhibitory activity in vitro, the dissociation constants K.sub.i for the inhibition of trypsin and the related enzymes thrombin, plasmin, factor X.sub.a, tPA, glandular kallikrein, factor XII.sub.a and plasma kallikrein, respectively, were calculated according to the formula ##EQU1## wherein [E] represents the concentration in free enzyme, [I] the concentration in free inhibitor and [EI] the concentration in enzyme-inhibitor complex (Dixon, Biochem. J. 55, 170-173, 1953). The smaller the K.sub.i -value for a tested enzyme, the higher the affinity of the inhibitor for the enzyme and the smaller the quantity of inhibitor needed for the inhibition of the enzyme, e.g. thrombin.

Various coagulation tests were used in vitro to determine the efficacy of the inhibitors towards the thrombin-induced coagulation of its natural substrate fibrinogen. For that purpose, the thrombin time (TT), the activated partial thromboplastin time (aPTT) and the prothrombin time (PT, Quick value) were determined in human plasma.

The toxicity of the compounds of the present invention was evaluated by determination of the LD.sub.50 (=dose that causes the death of 50% of the test animals within an observation time of one week) in the mouse after intravenous and peroral administration, respectively.

For the pharmacokinetic characterization, the plasma concentration of selected derivatives was determined in rats after intravenous (i.v.), subcutaneous (s.c.) and peroral (p.o.) application according to the following three-step procedure:

1. A physiological NaCl solution of the substance to be tested was submitted to high pressure liquid chromatography (HPLC) in order to determine its characteristic substance-specific retention time with the chosen test conditions. 2. The substance to be tested was diluted in vitro in rat plasma. This solution was also submitted to HPLC to see whether the characteristic peak of the substance once again appeared at the substance-specific retention time. 3. The substance to be tested was dissolved in physiological NaCl solution and administered i.v., s.c. and p.o. to rats in doses of 1, 5 and 100 mg per kg body weight, respectively. Blood samples were taken at time intervals of 15 minutes, from which plasma samples were prepared by centrifugation; those samples were also submitted to HPLC to see whether the characteristic peak of the substance appeared again at the substance-specific retention time.

To demonstrate the pharmacological efficacy, the substance to be tested was dissolved in physiological NaCl solution and administered i.v., s.c. and p.o. to rats in doses of 1, 5 and 100 mg per kg body weight, respectively. Blood samples were taken at time intervals of 15 minutes, from which plasma samples were prepared by centrifugation and investigated in the coagulation test (thrombin-induced plasma coagulation).

The biological properties of some representative compounds in the present invention are mentioned hereafter:

Tables 19-25 show the inhibition of the clotting enzymes thrombin and factor X.sub.a by the mentioned compounds by means of the dissociation constant K.sub.i (expressed in .mu.moles/l). All the compounds investigated competitively inhibit the substrate splitting caused by the two enzymes. Among the derivatives of 3-amidinophenylalanine listed in Table 19, there are a series of compounds having a high antithrombin activity, i.e. with K.sub.i -values below 1 .mu.mole/l. The thrombin inhibition is more pronounced than the inhibition of factor X.sub.a. The K.sub.i -values for the inhibition of factor X.sub.a are usually higher by 2 orders of magnitude than those for thrombin inhibition.

The compounds which are derived from 3-guanidinophenylalanine (Table 20), 3-oxamidinophenylalanine (Table 21), 3-aminophenylalanine (Table 22) and 3-aminomethylphenylalanine (Table 23) produce lower antithrombin activity, some of them, however, do have K.sub.i -values for thrombin inhibition in the micromolar range.

When replacing the 2-naphthylsulfonyl protective group by a quinolylsulfonyl residue (Table 24) or a 2-naphthylsulfonyl glycyl residue (Table 25), respectively, compounds with an antithrombin activity in the micromolar range are also found.

Table 26 shows the inhibitory effect of some representative compounds in the present invention towards trypsin, plasmin, factor XII.sub.a, plasma kallikrein, tPA and glandular kallikrein. Compared to thrombin, trypsin is more weakly inhibited, the K.sub.i -values are higher by one order of magnitude. The effectiveness of the compounds is considerably lower towards plasmin, plasma kallikrein and factor X.sub.a (K.sub.i higher by 2 orders of magnitude). The derivatives are practically ineffective towards factor XII.sub.a, tPA and glandular kallikrein. Therefore, the majority of the compounds may be called selective thrombin inhibitors.

Compared with earlier tested derivatives of benzamidine-containing amino acids (LD.sub.50 10-50 mg/kg after i.v. application), the toxicity is considerably lower for a series of compounds of the present invention, i.e. LD.sub.50 values of more than 50 mg/kg are found after i.v. injection. This is particularly obvious when comparing NAPAP with those compounds which also show improved pharmacokinetic properties (123, 83, 186 and 190).

Tables 28-30 show the results of studies on the pharmacokinetics of representative compounds in the present invention and, for comparison, the values with NAPAP. The compounds to be tested were administered to rats intravenously (Table 28), subcutaneously (Table 29) and orally (Table 30), respectively. After administration, blood samples were taken from experimental animals at time intervals of 2 to maximally 360 minutes and the blood level of the compounds in the samples was determined by means of HPLC.

In comparison with NAPAP, the derivatives investigated show improved pharmacokinetic behaviour. Although the compounds are eliminated at comparable speed after intravenous injection (FIG. 1), relatively high, constant blood levels of the compounds are found after subcutaneous administration (FIG. 2). After oral administration, NAPAP cannot be detected in plasma, while some of the representative compounds tested in the present invention may reach comparatively high concentrations (FIG. 3).

In vitro, some of the representative compounds in the present invention have anticoagulant activity. In all cases, the thrombin time (TT) was the most prolonged value. This corresponds to the selectivity of these inhibitors which, among the clotting factors, inhibit thrombin most effectively. Prolongation of the activated partial thromboplastin time (aPTT), which is also influenced, besides thrombin time, by the enzymes which participate in the early phase of coagulation, is obtained by higher inhibitor concentrations. This also applies to the influence of the prothrombin time (PT) which represents the extrinsic coagulation pathway (illustrated for compound 34 in FIG. 4).

The anticoagulant effect of the compounds can also be demonstrated in vivo. After i.v., s.c. and p.o. administration of the compounds to be tested, the anticoagulant effect was determined in plasma of experimental animals (illustrated for compound 123 in FIG. 5). Like the concentration progression determined by means of HPLC in plasma, the antithrombin effect can be detected in the clotting test.

In practice, the phenylalanine derivatives synthesized according to one of the procedures in the present invention and used as such or as salts with a physiologically compatible mineral or organic acid are converted in appropriate forms of application by applying adequate pharmaceutical auxiliaries. Corresponding to the pharmacokinetic behaviour, there are in particular transdermal therapy systems such as plasters, but also tablets, dragees, capsules, suppositories, solutions, etc.

The dosage depends on the antithrombin activity, the toxicity, the attainable blood level, the bioavailability and the mode of application of the used compound of the present invention, as well as in general on the blood values, the weight and the general state of the patient, such that the proper dosage has to be determined by the physician. In principle, the dosage corresponds to that of known thrombin-inhibiting compounds and is comprised between about 0.2 mg/kg and about 20 mg/kg body weight; however, higher doses may also be administered. In an adult patient, the daily doses of a compound of the present invention therefore range from approximately 50 mg to approximately 1600 mg or more.

By means of compound 186, the conversion into 5 pharmaceutical forms of administration should be representatively shown.

EXAMPLE 1

Tablets with 50 mg of compound 186 as the active substance

Composition:

1 tablet contains 50 mg of active substance, 40 mg of lactose, 30 mg of cornflour and 1 mg of magnesium stearate.

Manufacturing process

The active substance mixed with lactose and cornflour is regularly soaked with a 20% ethanolic solution of polyvinylpyrrolidone, pressed through a 1.5 mm-meshed sieve and dried at 40.degree. C. The granulate obtained in such a way is mixed with magnesium stearate and formed into tablets.

EXAMPLE 2

Dragees with 25 mg of compound 186 as the active substance

Composition:

1 dragee contains 25 mg of active substance, 20 mg of lactose and 15 mg of cornflour.

Manufacturing process

The active substance mixed with lactose and cornflour is granulated as described in example 1 and formed into oval tablet nuclei which are then coated with sugar. For this purpose, a sugar mixture consisting of 48 g of granulated sugar, 18 g of gum arabic, 48 g of wheat flour and 4 g of magnesium stearate as well as a mixture of equal parts of mucilago gum arabic and water, as a thickening agent, were used.

EXAMPLE 3

Capsules with 50 mg of compound 186 as the active substance

Composition:

1 capsule contains 50 mg of active substance and 100 mg of lactose.

Manufacturing process

The finely powdered active substance is proportionally ground with lactose and the mixture is filled in the indicated dosage into starch capsules which represent one-sidedly closed cylinders made of 2 parts that fit together.

EXAMPLE 4

Suppositories with 50 mg of compound 186 as the active substance

Composition:

1 suppository contains 50 mg of active substance and 0.95 g of cetyl phthalate as the basic substance.

Manufacturing process

500 mg of very finely powdered active substance are ground with twice as much liquefied basic substance. The preparation is mixed portionwise with the remaining liquefied basic substance and worked until a regular quality is obtained.
