Abstract
A method of using 4-anilinoquinazoline derivatives of formula (I): ##STR1## (in which: R.sup.1 represents a hydrogen atom, a halogen, atom, a trifluoromethyl group or a nitro group;R.sup.2 represents a hydrogen atom, a C.sub.1 -C.sub.4 alkyl group, an alkoxy group or a halogen atom; andR.sup.3 represents a hydrogen atom or a C.sub.1 -C.sub.4 alkyl group)and pharmaceutically acceptable salts thereof are, provided that R.sup.1 does not represents a hydrogen atom or a chlorine atom in the 6- position when R.sup.2 and R.sup.3 both represent hydrogen atoms, as an analgesic and anti-inflammatory in the treatment of mammals. These compounds can be prepared by heating the appropriate 4-haloquinazoline with an appropriate aniline or aniline derivative.
Description

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION
The present invention relates to a series of new 4-anilinoquinazoline derivatives, to a process for their preparation and to their use as analgesic and anti-inflammatory agents.
A wide range of analgesic and anti-inflammatory agents is available, suitable for treating pain of all intensity from mild (treated with aspirin, paracetamol or the like) to intense (treated with a narcotic analgesic, such as morphine or pentazocine). However, all of these known compounds have side effects, which may range from stomach irritation in the case of aspirin to dizziness, drowsiness and nausea and, in the case of the narcotic analgesics, may include dependence. The incidence and severity of these side effects varies from person to person and there is, therefore, a continuing need for new classes of analgesic for administration to persons to whom administration of existing analgesics would be inappropriate.
We have now surprisingly discovered that a class of 4-anilinoquinazoline derivatives possesses analgesic and anti-inflammatory activity comparable with, but in many cases substantially better than, that of aspirin. Although aminoquinazolines, including 4-anilinoquinazoline and 4-anilino-6-chloroquinazoline, are known [see, for example, J. Org. Chem., 41, 2646 (1976) and U.S. Pat. No. 3,985,749], they have hitherto been proposed for use in the treatment of coccidiosis and we are not aware of any prior suggestions that they have analgesic or anti-inflammatory activity.
BRIEF SUMMARY OF INVENTION
It is, therefore, an object of the present invention to provide a series of new 4-anilinoquinazoline derivatives useful as analgesic and anti-inflammatory agents.
It is a further object of the invention to provide a new process for preparing such 4-anilinoquinazoline derivatives.
It is a still further object of the invention to provide pharmaceutical compositions containing the new 4-anilinoquinazoline derivatives.
The 4-anilinoquinazoline derivatives which may be prepared by the process of the invention are those compounds of formula (I): ##STR2## in which: R.sup.1 represents a hydrogen atom, a halogen atom, a trifluoromethyl group or a nitro group;
R.sup.2 represents a hydrogen atom, an alkyl group, an alkoxy group or a halogen atom; and
R.sup.3 represents a hydrogen atom or an alkyl group; and pharmacologically acceptable acid addition salts thereof.
Of these compounds, all are per se new, except those compounds in which R.sup.1 represents a hydrogen atom or a chlorine atom in the 6-position and R.sup.2 and R.sup.3 both represent hydrogen atoms. Throughout this Specification, the numbering adopted for the ring systems in the anilinoquinazoline derivatives of the invention is as shown below: ##STR3##
The process of the invention comprises heating a haloquinazoline derivative of formula (II): ##STR4## (in which R.sup.1 is a hydrogen atom, a halogen atom, a trifluoromethyl group or a nitro group and X represents a halogen atom) with aniline or an aniline derivative of formula (III): ##STR5## (in which R.sup.2 represents a hydrogen atom, an alkyl group, an alkoxy group or a halogen atom and R.sup.3 represents a hydrogen atom or an alkyl group).
The invention also provides a pharmaceutical composition comprising a pharmaceutically acceptable carrier or diluent and, as active ingredient, one or more of the new 4-anilinoquinazoline derivatives of the present invention.

Of these compounds, particularly valuable compounds have been found to be Compounds Nos. 5, 17, 55 and 73, as well as their acid addition salts, particularly the hydrochlorides (that is to say, Compounds Nos. 6, 18, 56 and 74); of these, the most preferred compound is Compound No. 5 and its acid addition salts, particularly the hydrochloride, Compound No. 6.
The compounds of formula (I) can be prepared by heating a corresponding haloquinazoline derivative of formula (II): ##STR7## with aniline or an aniline derivative of formula (III): ##STR8## (in which R.sup.1, R.sup.2, R.sup.3 and X are as defined above). X is preferably a chlorine, bromine or iodine atom.
The process of the invention is preferably carried out in the presence of a solvent, although the nature of the solvent is not critical, provided that it has no adverse effect upon the reaction. Preferred solvents are: alcohols, such as methanol or ethanol; ethers, such as tetrahydrofuran or dioxan; aromatic hydrocarbons, such as benzene or toluene; or halogenated aromatic hydrocarbons, such as 2,4-dichlorobenzene. The precise ratio of haloquinazoline derivative (II) to aniline or aniline derivative (III) is also not critical; however, for reasons of economy, we prefer to employ approximately equimolar amounts of the two reagents. Since the reaction is exothermic, the reaction temperature, too, is not critical. The reaction is most conveniently carried out by heating the reaction mixture to approximately the boiling temperature of the solvent employed. The reaction can be accelerated by the use of a catalytic amount of a mineral acid, such as hydrochloric acid or sulphuric acid.
The reagents can be mixed in any order; for example, the haloquinazoline derivative (II) can be mixed with the appropriate amount of the aniline or aniline derivative (III), after which the solvent is added and the mixture is heated; alternatively, the aniline or aniline derivative (III) is added to a solution containing the appropriate amount of the haloquinazoline derivative (II) and the resulting solution is heated. The time required for the reaction will depend upon the nature of the reagents, the reaction temperature and other conditions; however, the reaction will normally take from 5 minutes to 5 hours.
When the reaction is carried out under the conditions described above, the compound of formula (I) is normally obtained in the form of its salt with the hydrohalic acid HX, although the compound (I) is occasionally obtained in the form of the free base, in which case a portion of the aniline derivative (III) has acted as an acid binding agent, and this can be favoured if the amount of aniline derivative (III) employed is greater than equimolar. However, a better way of ensuring that the compound (I) is obtained in the form of a free base is to carry out the reaction in the presence of a base (e.g. triethylamine) as acid binding agent. In this case, the preferred procedure is to dissolve the haloquinazoline derivative (II) in a water-immiscible organic solvent (such as benzene, toluene or 2,4-dichlorobenzene), to add to the resulting solution the desired amount (preferably an equimolar amount) of the aniline or aniline derivative (III) and 1.2 times an equimolar amount of an acid binding agent, and then to heat the reaction mixture to about the boiling temperature of the solvent employed for a period of from 3 to 5 hours.
When the reaction is complete, the desired compound may be recovered from the reaction mixture by conventional means. For example, one suitable recovery sequence comprises: if necessary, distilling off the solvent from the reaction mixture; optionally adding the residue to water or to an inert organic solvent and then separating the compound by filtration; and finally recrystallizing the compound from a suitable organic solvent. Where the desired compound is obtained in the form of a free base by carrying out the reaction in the presence of an acid binding agent and a water-immiscible organic solvent, a preferred recovery sequence comprises: adding water to the reaction mixture; separating and then drying the organic phase; distilling the solvent from this organic phase under reduced pressure; and finally recrystallizing the desired compound from a suitable organic solvent.
Where the compound has been produced in the form of an hydrohalide salt and it is desired to obtain the free base, the salt is treated with a dilute aqueous solution of an alkali (such as sodium hydroxide or potassium hydroxide) and the precipitated product is collected by filtration, washed with water and recrystallized from a suitable organic solvent; this may be carried out either before or after separation of the hydrohalide salt from the initial reaction mixture.
Where the free base form of the compound of formula (I) has been obtained, this may, if desired, be converted to a pharmacologically acceptable acid addition salt by conventional salification techniques. Suitable salts include acid addition salts of mineral acids (such as hydrochloric acid, hydrobromic acid or hydroiodic acid) or acid addition salts of organic acids (such as oxalic acid, maleic acid, fumaric acid, tartaric acid or citric acid).
Surprisingly, the anilinoquinazoline derivatives of the present invention have excellent analgesic and anti-inflammatory activities, as demonstrated by the following tests.
TEST FOR ANALGESIC ACTIVITY
This test employs a bradykinin-induced nociceptive stimulus and is a partially modified version of the test described by Deffenu [J. Pharm. Pharmac. 18, 135 (1966)] and Blane [J. Pharm. Pharmac., 19, 367 (1967)]. The test animals were female Hartley guinea pigs having a body weight of from 350 g to 400 g. The guinea pigs were divided into groups, each group containing from 5 to 10 animals. The test animals were cannulated into the carotid artery retrogradely under the anesthesia induced by intraperitoneal injection of 20 mg/kg of pentobarbital. The guinea pigs were allowed to recover from the anesthesia for at least 3 hours before the tests commenced.
The test compounds listed in the following Table 1 were administered orally. Immediately before administration of each test compound and then 15, 30, 60, 90 and 120 minutes after administration, each guinea pig was administered with 0.5 .mu.g of bradykinin through the cannula. Turning of the head or twisting of the front legs upon injection was taken as a sign of nociceptive response. The test compounds were administered at various doses and the inhibition rate was determined accordingly.
TEST FOR ANTI-INFLAMMATORY ACTIVITY
Male Wistar-Imamichi rats, each weighing approximately 150 g, were used in these experiments and were divided into groups, each containing 5 animals. Each of the test compounds listed in Table 1 was administered orally, at various doses, to the rats and then, 30 minutes after oral administration, 0.05 ml of a 1% w/v carrageenin suspension was subcutaneously injected into the sole of the right hind paw to induce oedema. The volume of the paw was measured both before and 3 hours after injection of the carrageenin by the method of Winder et al [Arch. Int. Pharmacodyn. 112, 174 (1957)]. The difference between the volume of the paw before and after injection was defined as the oedema intensity. The inhibition rate was the ratio of the oedema intensity in groups to which the test compounds had been administered to control groups, to which no test compounds had been administered.
For both of the above tests, the ID.sub.50 was calculated by the method of Litchfield and Wilcoxon [J. Pharmacol. Exptl. Therap. 96, 99 (1949)] on the basis of the inhibition rates obtained as described above. The results are shown in Table 1, in which the compounds of the invention are identified by the numbers heretofore assigned to them.

It is apparent from the results shown above that the compounds of the invention have valuable analgesic and anti-inflammatory activities comparable with or better than those of aspirin and mefenamic acid.
The compounds of the invention can be administered orally in the form of tablets, capsules, granules, powders or syrups or through the intestines in the form of a suppository. The dosage depends on the symptoms, age and body weight of the patient, but is usually from 50 mg to 2000 mg per day for an adult, in a single dose or in divided doses.
