Mono-- or diketone tetracyclic derivatives and therapeutical uses thereof

The present invention concerns the use of tetracyclic derivatives and their pharmaceutically acceptable salts for obtaining a medication for the treatment of diseases involving an alteration in the venous function and/or inflammatory edema, and concerns the new compounds obtained. More particularly, it concerns derivatives of tetracyclic compounds comprising a structural group, 1,4-dihydro-1,4-dioxonaphthalene, one of the ketones of which may be protected. The invention concerns the therapeutic application of all these compounds.
The document, Chem. Rev., 63, 279-296 (1963) by M. F. Sartori describes the synthesis of heterocyclic quinones from 2,3-dichloro-1,4-dihydro-1,4-dioxonaphthalene, in particular, naphthoimidazopyridines, diones, and their derivatives.
The article, J. Amer. Chem. Soc. 79, 5708-5710 (1957) by P. Truitt, J. E. Cooper, and F. M. Wood, Jr. describes a controversial synthesis of 6,11-dihydro-6,11-dioxonaphtho[2',3':4,5]imidazo[1,2-a] pyridine, while the document, J. Org. Chem., 24, 374-380 (1959), by W. L. Mosby and R. J. Boyle evokes the theoretical possibility of obtaining three types of compounds of different structures: 5,6-dihydro-5,6-dioxo-naphtho[1',2':4,5]imidazo[1,2-a]pyridine, 5,6-dihydro-5,6-dioxo-naphtho[1',2':4,5]-imidazo[2,3-a] pyridine, 6,11-dihydro-6,11-dioxo-naphtho-[2',3':4,5]imidazo[1,2-a]pyridine. The authors demonstrate the obtaining of the first type of structure. Concerning this same problem, the article J. Org Chem., 26, 1316-1318 (1961) by W. L. Mosby describes the possibility of obtaining two types of products with similar reactions: 5,6-dihydro-5,6-dioxo-naphtho[1',2':4,5]imidazo[1,2-a]pyridine (the so-called angular form) and 6,11-dihydro-6,11-dioxo-naphtho[2',3':4,5]imidazo[1,2-a]pyridine (the so-called linear form). The authors note that the formation of the linear structure is obtained less readily than the angular structure. More drastic conditions are thus required for the formation of this structure (reflux at elevated temperature). The "angular" structure of the family is demonstrated in the synthesis of 5,6-dihydro-5,6-dioxo-naphtho[1',2':4,5]imidazo[1,2-a]pyridine using a specific reagent of orthodiketones in the paper in J. Org. Chem., 28, 1019-1022 (1963) by J. A. Van Allan and G. A. Reynolds.
U.S. Pat. No. 2,970,146, Jan. 31, 1961 (Cl. 260-256.4) by R. J. Boyle, O. G. Birsten, and W. L. Mosby describes the synthesis of new heterocyclic orthoquinones. The paper in Indian J. Chemistry 18B, 236-239 (1979) by N. R. Ayyanger, A. G. Lugade, and B. D. Tilak describes the univocal synthesis of 6,11-dihydro-6,11-dioxo-naphtho-[2',3':4,5]imidazo[1,2'-a]pyridine.
The paper in J. Indian Chem. Soc. 68(9), 529-531 (1991) by A. S Yanni describes the synthesis and bactericidal and fungicidal activity of 6,11-dihydro-6,11-dioxo -pyrido[1',2':1,2]imidazo[5,4-g]quinoline. Finally, German patent No. 1,108,699 by C. W. Schellhammer and G. Domagk describes the cytostatic and bacteriostatic activity of derivatives of 5,6-dihydro-5,6-dioxo-pyrido[1',2':1,2]imidazo[4,5-f]quinoline.

Pharmacological properties
The study of the compounds in the present invention and of their derived salts has demonstrated that they have various pharmacological properties. Thus, they are selectively vasotonic, not affecting the arterial system except in concentrations much greater than those active on the veins with the exception of certain arteries, the cerebral arteries in particular. The compounds show no, or at the most, very weak affinity for the great majority of known receptors. Furthermore, they increase capillary resistance and diminish vascular hyperpermeability induced by certain inflammatory agents.
These properties become evident in such mammals as hamsters, rats, guinea pigs, and rabbits, whether in vitro (isolated vessels or vascular networks) or in vivo.
For the in vitro studies, the compounds are made soluble in a pure aqueous solution or a solution containing DMSO (dimethyl sulfoxide).
As for the in vivo studies, they are administered intravenously or intraperitoneally in the form of an aqueous solution with or without DMSO, or orally in a 1% carboxymethylcellulose suspension, administered with the use of a force-feed probe at a volume of 10 mL/kg.
Pharmacological study models
Contractile effects
Contractile effects are measured, in vitro and under static conditions, on capacitance or resistance vascular rings of the saphenous, femoral, jugular, mesenteric, and caval veins; and on the femoral, carotid, basilar, mesenteric, and thoracic or abdominal aortic arteries, in rats (Wistar, 200 to 250 g), rabbits (New Zealand, 2 to 2.5 kg), and guinea pigs (Dunkin Hartley, 250 to 300 g).
The rings are placed in an isolated organ chamber (25 mL for capacitance vessels and 2.5 mL for resistance vessels, as per Mulvany), kept in isometric conditions by two stiff cables inserted into the interior of the vessel, avoiding any damage to the endothelium. The vessels are washed in a modified Krebbs solution (in mM: NaCl=118; KCl=4.6; ClCl.sub.2 =2.5; MgSO.sub.4 =1.2; KH.sub.2 PO.sub.4 =1.17; NcHCO.sub.3 =25; glucose=11), permanently aerated by a gaseous mixture at 95% O.sub.2 and 5% CO.sub.2, at pH=7.4 and set thermostatically at 37.degree. C. The rings are taken to their optimal point of the tension-length ratio.
The tensions developed generate an electrical signal through a strength sensor (Wheatstone bridge). This signal is amplified before either being displayed on a Kipp & Zonen recorder or is digitalized for computer analysis (IOS, EMKA). The pharmacological studies are carried out after some preliminary contractile stimulations standardized by a depolarizing solution (hyperpotassic solution obtained by replacing NaCl by KCl in equimolar quantities), rinses, and balancing periods in pure physiological solution. Presence of the endothelium is verified by the relaxation induced by increasing concentrations of acetylcholine after stabilization of a vascular precontraction.
The contraction forces developed by the vascular rings in response to the different compounds are studied on quiescent or electrically stimulated (5-8 Hz) vessels, using a hyperpotassic depolarizing physiological solution (KCl: 20, 40 mM), using noradrenaline (increasing concentrations), or using serotonin (increasing concentrations).
The contractions are expressed in mg of force or as a percentage of maximum contraction at depolarization by a hyperpotassic physiological solution.
The contractile effects are also measured in vitro in flux dynamic conditions, via the pressure developed by the vascular networks perfused at a constant rate. At the mesenteric level, venoselectivity is studied by the simultaneous and separate double perfusion model, developed by T. Warner (British Journal of Pharmacology, 1990, 99, 427-433). Separation of the two networks is obtained by cutting the vessels and tissues along the length of the intestinal border. The networks are perfused at 2 mL.multidot.min.sup.-1 by an aerated Krebbs solution (37.5.degree. C.) at 95% O.sub.2 and 5% CO.sub.2.
In vivo, the arterial and venous pressures are measured in an anesthetized animal, under basal conditions and after circulatory arrest provoked by inflating a balloon catheter inserted at the level of the right atrium. At the moment of cardiac arrest, the venous pressure (average circulation refill pressure at a constant blood volume) is calculated from the venous and arterial pressures at equilibrium and corrected as a function of the relative differences of compliance between the networks (Samar Coleman, American Journal of Physiology, 234: H94-100, 1978; Yamamoto et al., American Journal of Physiology, 238: H823-828, 1980).
In the case of the conscious animal, blood pressure is taken by the classical method based on Riva Rocci, by analysis of the acoustical wave transmitted at the arterial level and transformed by a ceramic piezo transducer placed on the rat's tail, below a sleeve automatically inflated by a pressure generator.
At the microcirculatory level, section variations in the venules and arterioles are studied in vivo by the method of placing a cutaneous chamber on the back of a conscious hamster, after videomicroscopy (Letz Ergolux microscope equipped with a halogen source for lighting and an HPR 610 black-and-white CDD video camera) and computer analysis (Visicap, Pack JCAP software) of the images.
After anesthesia by sodium pentobarbital (60 mg/kg, i.p.), the animal's back is shaved and depilated so that an observation chamber (Prof. Gebhard, Heidelberg) could be placed on the skin of the back. Both parts of the chamber are sown together after careful removal of a certain level of skin thickness that could impede observation. A jugular catheter is placed for i.v. administration of the products 48 h after the operation.
Effects on induced capillary hyperpermeability
Vascular permeability is studied in vivo by measuring albumin extravasation, the quantity of which is determined by a coloring agent bonded to the albumin (Evans Blue). Hyperpermeability is induced by the intradermal injection of a histamine, bradykinin, or zymosan solution.
The technique is derived from that described by Beach and Steinetz, Journal of Pharmacology and Experimental Therapy, 131: 400-406, 1961.
The rats (Wistars, 200 to 230 g) are shaved on the abdominal wall 1 h before the start of the experiment. The product to be tested is injected i.p. or orally 1-4 h prior to sacrificing. The rats are anesthetized using a halothane mixture. They then receive an intradermal injection in the abdomen of 0.10 to 0.15 mL of an inflammatory agent (by histamine 6.7 or 10 .mu.g) and an i.v. injection of 1 mL of Evans blue 0.5% solution in the vein of the penis. These injections are carried out 30 min prior to sacrificing.
30 min after these two injections, the rats are sacrificed by cervical dislocation.
At the locus of injection of the inflammatory agent, the skin is cut off and placed in ground-neck glass tubes containing 3 mL of fuming hydrochloric acid. Digestion of the skin is carried out by contact [with HCl] of at least 1 h in a double boiler at 37.degree. C.; 3 mL of benzalkonium chloride at 12.8% are then added. After leaving undisturbed for 30 min, 7 mL of dichloromethane are added. The tubes are periodically agitated for 1 h. The aqueous phase is eliminated by aspiration and the organic dichloromethane phase is filtered. The optical densities are quantified by absorption spectrophotometry at a 620 nm wavelength, against a blank [control] containing only dichloromethane.
The averages for optical density of the different lots of experimental and control animals are calculated, then the variation between the data for the experimental animals and those for the control animals is calculated.
The effect of the compounds on the induced hyperpermeability by inflammatory agents, such as histamine and bradykinin, is likewise studied after i.v. injection by bolus in the hamster dorsal cutaneous chamber model and according to the method developed by Gimeno et al., previously described (A new technique using intravital videomicroscoy for macromolecular permeability measurement, 18th European Microcirculation Congress, Rome, 1994) by videomicroscopy and image analysis by quantification of intra- and extravascular fluorescence distribution of the fluorescent marker (FITC-Dextran), injected by bolus by a jugular catheter (63 mg/kg for a volume defined at 1 mL/kg). The microscope is equipped with a fluorescene source and a combination cf filters (450-490-nm blue excitation and 515-nm stop filter).
Effects on capillary resistance:
The increase in capillary resistance is detected by the change in the petechial index (negative pressure inducing the extravasation of erythrocytes), measured by a method derived from Parrot's angiosterrometer.
The study is carried out on male Wistar rats weighing an average of 200 g (aged approximately 6 weeks). The lower back area is shaved, then depilated with the use of a paste based on a by-product of thioglycolic acid and calcium hydroxide. After approximately 30 min, the skin is rinsed abundantly and dried.
On the day of the study, the rats are kept nonconstrained. A low pressure of 80 mm of mercury is applied. If the petechiae (erythrocyte extravasation) do not appear withing 15 sec, the low pressure is increased by compensation, keeping the suction cup in the same place.
The minimum low pressure at which the petechiae appear expressed in mm of mercury, the value of the base capillary resistance (before any treatment). Two measurements are carried out for each trial on different places on the back. The rats are treated orally. After a predetermined amount of time (generally 2, 4, or 6 h) after the treatment, the test is renewed on different areas of skin, until petechiae appear, yielding a new low pressure index. All measurements are carried out in the blind mode.
The variation between the means of the base capillary resistance and post-treatment capillary resistance is calculated for the experimental animals, for each treatment time and compared to the control group (excipient only) or the reference group.
Effects on induced pleurisy in rats:
The antiinflamatory activity of the compounds is also studied by measuring edema and leucocyte migration inhibition after the induction of pleurisy in rats by the injection of carrageenin into the pleural cavity (Almeida et al., Journal of Pharmacology and Experimental Therapy, 214: 74, 1980).
The rats are treated orally with the compounds 2 h before the injection of carrageenin, as well as 2 and 4 h after such injection. After a predetermined amount of time (6 h) following the induction of pleurisy, the rats are sacrificed, the pleural liquid is recovered by aspiration, and its volume is measured. The leucocytes are counted by a cell counter.
The results are expressed as the number of leucocytes in the exudate for each 100 g of weight of the animal, and compared to the control group.
Examples of pharmacological effects:
The compounds of the invention and their derived salts selectively increase, in the majority of cases, the contraction of animal veins produced by noradrenaline, by electrical stimulation, or by a depolarizing hyperpotassic solution. By way of example, there is the contractile effect of different compounds on the saphenous vein of rabbits, precontracted by a depolarizing physiological solution with a potassium concentration equal to 40 mM; the maximum effect produced by each compound is expressed as the percentage of maximum contraction induced by the depolarizing hyperpotassic solutions and in ED.sub.50 values:
______________________________________Compound Emax(% of maximum contr.) ED.sub.50 (nM)______________________________________Example a 32 .+-. 7 306Example c 27 .+-. 4 157Example f 56 .+-. 7 450Example h 18 .+-. 3 67Example 1 20 .+-. 4 170Example 2 28 .+-. 4 271Example 3 18 .+-. 4 200Example 12 13 .+-. 3 58______________________________________
By way of example, the oral administration of certain compounds of the invention and their derived salts increases the capillary resistance in rats at doses generally between 0.01 and 5 mg/kg:
______________________________________ Effect at 4 hours Effect at 6 hoursCompound (in % of control) (in % of control)______________________________________ Example 2 5 mg/kg 11 13Example c 5 mg/kg 17 10Example c 0.1 mg/kg 19 29Example c 0.1 mg/kg 0 17Example h 0.1 mg/kg 19 13______________________________________
By way of illustration, the oral administration of certain compounds of the invention and their derived salts reduce inflammatory hyperpermeability induced by zymosan in rats in doses generally between 0.01 and 5 mg/kg:
______________________________________ Effect at 2 hours Effect at 4 hoursCompound (in % of control)______________________________________Example a 5 mg/kg -1 -28Example c 0.1 mg/kg -14 -11Example h 0.1 mg/kg -23 -5Example 2 0.1 mg/kg -10 -15Example 3 5 mg/kg -13 -12______________________________________
Furthermore, the compounds of the invention and their derived salts have a very low toxicity. For example, after a single oral administration of 1 g/kg in mice, no toxic effect was observable and no mortality was observable for the majority of compounds, especially for Example a, Example c, and Example 2.
Among the preferred compounds of the invention, Example c is especially singled out.
The foregoing demonstrates that the compounds of the invention and their derived salts may be used in human and animal therapy. They are specifically indicated in functional organic venous insufficiency and in hemorrhoidal pathologies due to their vascular and anti-inflamatory components, as well as in typically inflammatory disorders and in states of shock caused by a significant drop in blood pressure. In the latter case, an improvement in venous return may maintain the heart rate and, as a consequence, maintain the blood pressure.
Functional venous insufficiency is characterized by dilation and hyperdistensibility of the superficial veins in the legs, edema, and impatience [unconfirmed translation] paresthesia of the restless leg type. This type of pathology may evolve toward organic venous insufficiency characterized by the development of varicose veins, valvular incontinence, or towards thrombophlebitis and trophic disorders leading to ulcerative lesions.
In this venous pathology, an inflammatory component is established in the first stages and becomes more clearly detectable in the advanced stages.
Due to their effects on vasoconstrictors, anti-inflammatories, especially on vascular hyperpermeability, and their contractile effects on cerebral arteries, the compounds of the invention and their derived salts are also indicated for migraine.
The present invention then includes the use of the above-mentioned compounds and their derived salts as active substances for the preparation of medications and pharmaceutical compositions for human and veterinary use, having at least one of said compounds and salts associated with a physiologically acceptable support or diluent.
The form of these medications and pharmaceutical compositions will obviously depend on the desired manner of administration--oral, parenteral, topical (cutaneous), and rectal--and they may be formulated according to classical techniques, making use of the usual supports and vehicles.
Thus, in the case of oral administration, they may take the form of pills, tablets, gels, solutions, syrups, emulsions, suspensions, powders, granules, soft capsules, lyophilizates, microcapsules, or micro granules.
Pills, tablets, and gels contain the active ingredient together with a diluent (for example, lactose, dextrose, sucrose, mannitol, maltitol, xylitol, sorbitol, or cellulose), a lubricant (for example silica, talc, or stearate), a bonding agent (for example, starch, methylcellulose or gum arabic), and/or a disintegration agent (alginate, for example); they are manufactured by known methods, for example, mixing, granulation, lozenge-formation, coating, compression, etc.
Syrups may contain, as a support, glycerol, mannitol, and/or sorbitol. Solutions and suspensions may contain water and other physiologically compatible solvents and a support such as a natural gum, agar--agar, sodium alginate, or polyvinyl alcohol.
For parenteral administration, the medications and compositions may take the form of solutions, emulsions, or suspensions containing the active ingredient and an appropriate support or solvent such as sterile water or sterile isotonic solutions.
For cutaneous application, the medications and compositions may take the form of an ointment, creme, or gel, in the form of an emulsion or suspension, solution, mousse, or powder.
For rectal application, the medications and compositions may take the form of a capsule, creme, emulsion, gel, mousse, paste, or suppository.
