The compounds of formula (I), and their pharmaceutically acceptable salts, are useful because they exhibit pharmacological activity in animals. In particular, the compounds of formula (I) are useful in the treatment of diabetes as hypoglycemic agents and by inhibiting or impeding post-prandial hyperglycemia.
The compounds of formula (I) are useful in the treatment of diabetes as hypoglycemic agents as indicated by the lowering of blood glucose in male Wistar rats weighing 200.+-.10 grams. The test animals are fasted in groups of 5-7 for 16 hours and then are dosed with 50 to 100 milligrams per kilogram of animal body weight of the compound orally. The animals are maintained on water; and two hours after the test compound is administered, the rats are anesthetized with ether and blood is collected via cardiac puncture. The serum glucose level is determined by the Technicon Auto-Analyzer II (glucose oxidase method). These glucose levels are then compared with the glucose level of a control group, which receives orally 0.5% carboxymethyl cellulose and is run concurrently.
The compounds of formula (I) are also useful in the treatment of diabetes by inhibiting or impeding post-prandial hyperglycemia as indicated by a lowering of the serum glucose levels in male Wistar rats weighing 200.+-.10 grams after an oral starch load. In this test, male Wistar rats is groups of 5-7 are fasted for 16 hours and then are dosed with 50 to 200 mg/kg p.o. of the test compound. One hour later, the rats are given orally 1.0 gram per kilogram of animal body weight of a cooked starch load. Thirty minutes after administration of the starch, the rats are anesthetized with 120 milligrams per kilogram of animal body weight of sodium hexobarbital after which blood is collected via cardiac puncture. The serum is used to determine the sugar level with a Technicon Auto-Analyzer II (glucose oxidase method). The serum glucose content is compared to the control group which receives 0.5% carboxymethyl cellulose and an oral starch load and are run concurrently.
The use of the compounds of formula (I) in the treatment of diabetes by inhibiting post-prandial hyperglycemia is also indicated by the lowering of serum glucose in 4 male cebus monkeys weighing 2 to 4 kilograms which are fasted for 16 to 18 hours before testing. At least a three-day interval is allowed between experimental days. The compound to be tested is suspended in 0.5% carboxymethyl cellulose (CMC) for oral dosing. Two blood samples for basal serum glucose level are taken at minus 30 min. and just before administration of placebo (0.5% CMC) or the test compound at 5, 10, 20 and 40 mg/kg of animal body weight. One hour later the animals are given, orally 1.5 gram per kilogram of weight of a cooked starch load. Blood samples are thereafter taken hourly for 4 hours. Serum glucose levels were determined by the Technicon Auto-Analyzer II (glucose oxidase method), and these glucose levels are then compared with the glucose levels of the control group which received orally 0.5% CMC and is run concurrently.
For the inhibition of post-prandial hyperglycemia and use as a hypoglycemic agent, the compounds of formula (I) and their non-toxic, pharmaceutically acceptable salts may be administered orally or parenterally as such or admixed with conventional pharmaceutical carriers. They may be administered orally in such forms as tablets, dispersible powders, granules, capsules, syrups and elixirs, and parenterally as solutions, e.g., a sterile injectable aqueous solution. The composition for oral use may contain one or more conventional adjuvants, such as sweetening agents, flavoring agents, coloring agents and preserving agents, in order to provide an elegant and palatable preparation. Tablets may contain the active ingredient in admixture with conventional pharmaceutically acceptable excipients, e.g., inert diluents, such as calcium carbonate, sodium carbonate, lactose, and talc, granulating and disintegrating agents. e.g., starch and alginic acid, binding agents, e.g., magnesium stearate, stearic acid and talc. The tablets may be coated by known techniques to delay disintegration and absorption in the gastro-intestinal tract and thereby provide a sustained action over a longer period. Similarly, suspensions, syrups and elixirs may contain the active ingredient in admixture with any of the conventional excipients utilized in the preparation of such compositions, e.g., suspending agents such as methylcellulose, tragacanth and sodium alginate; wetting agents such as lecithin, polyoxyethylene stearate and polyoxyethylene sorbitan monooleate; and preserviatives such as ethyl p-hydroxybenzoate. Capsules may contain the active ingredient alone or admixed with an inert solid diluent, e.g., calcium carbonate, calcium phosphate and kaolin. The injectable compositions are formulated as known in the art. These pharmaceutical preparations may contain up to about 90% of the active ingredient in combination with the carrier or adjuvant.
The hypoglycemic effective amount of active ingredient employed in the treatment of diabetes may vary depending on the particular compound employed, the mode of administration and the severity of the condition being treated. However, in general, satisfactory results in the treatment of diabetes are obtained when a compound of formula (I), or a pharmaceutically acceptable salt thereof, is administered as a hypoglycemic agent at a daily dosage of from about 2 milligrams to about 200 milligrams, preferably 2 to 100 milligrams per kilogram of animal body weight, preferably given orally and in divided doses two or four times a day, or in sustained release form. For larger mammals, the total daily dosage is from about 100 milligrams to about 3000 milligrams, preferably 100 to 2000 milligrams. Unit dosage forms suitable for internal use comprise from about 25 milligrams to about 2000 milligrams, preferably 25 to 1500 milligrams and more preferably 25 to 1000 milligrams of the active compound in intimate admixture with a solid or liquid, pharmaceutically acceptable carrier.
The effective amount of active ingredient for inhibiting post-prandial hyperglycemia employed in the treatment of diabetes may also vary depending on the particular compound employed, the mode of administration and the severity of the condition being treated. However, in general satisfactory results in the treatment of diabetes are obtained when a compound of formula (I), or a pharmaceutically acceptable salt thereof, is administered at a daily dosage of from about 1.5 to 200 milligrams, preferably 1.5 to about 100 milligrams and especially 2 to 100 milligrams per kilogram of animal body weight, preferably given orally and in divided doses two or four times a day, or in sustained release form. For larger mammals, the total daily dosage is from about 100 milligrams to about 3000 milligrams, preferably 100 to 2000 milligrams, also preferably given at mealtime as conventional in treatments with substances having such activity, e.g., three times a day, in divided dosages of from about 40 to 1000 milligrams, preferably 40 to 700 milligrams, particularly before a carbohydrate-rich meal.
The compounds of formula (I) may be similarly administered in the form of their non-toxic pharmaceutically acceptable acid addition salts. Such salts possess the same order of activity as the free base and are readily prepared by reacting the compound with a pharmaceutically acceptable acid by conventional techniques, and, accordingly, are included within the scope of this invention. Representative of the inorganic salts are the hydrochloride, hydrobromide, hydroiodide, phosphate (including hydrogen phosphate), metaphosphate, and sulfate (including hydrogen sulfate). Representative examples of the organic salts are the acetate, maleate, fumarate and the like.
Tablets and capsules containing the ingredients indicated below may be prepared by conventional techniques and are useful in treating diabetes, at a dose or one tablet or capsule 2 to 4 times a day.

The active ingredient, 2-(aminophenylmethylene)-N-(2-dimethylaminoethyl)-N-phenyl-3-oxo-butanamide, indicated above has, for example, been determined to have an ED25 in the above hypoglycemia test of 74 mg/kg p.o. For the known compound tolbutamide, the ED25 in this test was found to be 110 mg/kg p.o. Thus, an indicated daily dosage for the active agent above would be from about 3 to about 100 mg/kg, preferably 3 to 20 mg/kg, for use as a hypoglycemic agent in treating diabetes. In the post-prandial test in the rat, the compound has been determined to have an ED50 of 25 mg/kg p.o. An indicated daily dosage for this compound in the treatment of diabetes by inhibiting post-prandial hypoglycemia would be from about 100 to 1050 milligrams.
The daily dosages suitable for any particular compound will of course depend on a number of factors including relative potency and activity. The title compound of example 3, 2-acetyl-3-amino-N-(2-dimethylaminoethyl)-N-(m-fluorophenyl)-2-pentenamide has, for example, been determined to have and ED50 of 35 mg/kg p.o. in the monkey and 50 mg/kg p.o. in the Wistar rats in the post-prandial hypoglycemia tests. An indicated daily dosage for this compound in the treatment of diabetes by inhibiting post-prandial hypoglycemia would be from about 100 to 2000 milligrams, preferably 250 to 1000 milligrams.

EXAMPLE 3
2-Acetyl-3-Amino-N-(2-Dimethylaminoethyl)-N-(m-Fluorophenyl)-2-Pentenamide
Step 1. N-(m-Fluorophenyl)-3-Ethyl-5-Methyl-4-Isoxazole Carboxamide
A mixture of 13.3 grams (0.120 mole) of m-fluoroaniline and 20.9 ml. (0.150 mole of triethylamine in 120 ml. of toluene is treated by dropwise addition with 22.5 grams (0.129 mole) of 3-ethyl-5-methyl-4-isoxazole carbonyl chloride in 100 ml. of toluene while maintaining the temperature between 30.degree.-35.degree. during addition. The mixture is stirred at room temperature overnight, filtered and the filtrate washed with 2N hydrochloric acid. The toluene is dried and evaporated with the residue recrystallized from toluene to give N-(m-fluorophenyl)-3-ethyl-5-methyl-4-isoxazole carboxamide (m.p. 99.5.degree.-101.degree. C.).
Step 2. N-(m-Fluorophenyl)-N-(2-Dimethylaminoethyl)-3-Ethyl-5-Methyl-4-Isoxazole Carboxamide
A mixture of 22.0 grams (0.0887 mole) of N-m-fluorophenyl-3-ethyl-5-methyl-4-isoxazole carboxamide and 4.4 grams (0.0921 mole) of 50% sodium hydride in oil in 500 ml. of dimethylformamide is stirred at room temperature for five hours. The resulting mixture is treated by dropwise addition with 9.68 grams (0.09 mole) of 2-dimethylaminoethyl chloride). The resulting mixture is heated at 60.degree. C. for 20 hours. The mixture is cooled, poured onto ice water and extracted with ether. The ether is washed with 2N hydrochloric acid and the aqueous acidic layer made basic with sodium hydroxide and extracted with methylene chloride. The methylene chloride extract is dried with magnesium sulfate and evaporated to give N-(m-fluorophenyl)-N-(2-dimethylaminoethyl)-3-ethyl-5-methyl-4-isoxazole carboxamide as an oil.
Step 3. 2-Acetyl-3-Amino-N-(2-Dimethylaminoethyl)-N-m-Fluorophenyl-2-Pentenamide
A mixture of 15.3 grams (0.048 mole) of N-(m-fluorophenyl)-N-(2-dimethylaminoethyl)-3-ethyl-5-methyl-4-isoxazole carboxamide and 1.5 grams of 10% palladium on carbon in 120 ml. of ethanol is hydrogenated at 50 psi at room temperature overnight. The catalyst is then removed by filtration and the solvent evaporated in vacuo. The residue is crystallized from ether; petroleum ether (1:1) to give 2-acetyl-3-amino-N-(2-dimethylaminoethyl)-N-(m-fluorophenyl)-2-pentenamide (m.p. 96.degree.-97.degree. C.).
