As described in two own prior, non-published German patent applications Nos. (P 29 34 746.4 and P 29 50 478.7), 5- and 4.5-substituted .omega.-(2-oxo-4-imidazolin-1-yl) alcanoic acids as well as their salts and esters have valuable pharmacological properties such as antithrombotic, antiarteriosklerotic, antiinflammatory and analgetic properties.
The present invention refers to new N-substituted .omega.-(2-oxo-4-imidazolin-1-yl) alcanoic acid derivatives having the general formula I ##STR2## wherein
n is an integer ranging from 1 to 10, preferably ranging from 6 to 8,
R.sup.1 represents hydrogen, an alkali metal ion or a straight or branched hydrocarbon group having from 1 to 6 carbon atoms or the benzyl group,
R.sup.2 is --(CH.sub.2).sub.m --R, m being 0, 1 or 2,
R, R.sup.3 and R.sup.4, which may be identical or different from each other, represent hydrogen (with the exception of R if m is zero), the unsubstituted phenyl group or the phenyl group substituted by one or several identical or differing substituents selected from the group consisting of halogen (in particular chlorine or fluorine), CH.sub.3 --, CH.sub.3 O--, --CF.sub.3, at least one of R, R.sup.3 and R.sup.4 being a phenyl group or the phenyl group substituted by one or several identical or differing substituents selected from the group of halogen, --CH.sub.3, CH.sub.3 O--, --CF.sub.3.
The present invention further refers to processes for producing the same.
The new compounds show interesting pharmacological properties such as antiallergic, antiasthmatic, antithrombotic, antiarteriosklerotic and antiinflammatory properties. They furthermore show antagonistic activity in respect to some physiological processes regulated by PAF (platelet activation factor) as well as excellent compatibility by the stomach and may therefor in particular used for the treatment of thrombotic, allergic, asthmatic and arteriosclerotic as well as inflammatory deseases with at the same time favourable gastrointestinal properties. Furthermore, the compounds of formula I have a low toxicity. They furthermore may be produced in combination with anticoagulantia, in particular with heparin and heparinates.

wherein n and R.sup.1 have the same meaning as in formula I and X is a halogen atom, in an organic solvent such as acetone, methyl ethyl ketone, dimethylformamide with the addition of an auxiliary base such as sodium hydride, possibly in the presence of an alkali metal iodide as catalyst.
The resulting esters of formula I may converted into the corresponding alkali metal salt of formula I (R.sup.1 =alkali metal) in usual manner for instance by reaction with an alkali metal hydroxide in an aqueous, alcoholic or alcohol-ethereal solvent and by subsequent addition of a mineral acid into the acid of formula I (R.sup.1 =H).
In another way the acids of formula I (R.sup.1 =H) and the alkali metal salts thereof of formula I (R.sup.1 =alkali metal) may be converted into the esters of formula (R.sup.1 =C.sub.1-6 -alkyl or benzyl) in manners usual in organic chemistry, for instance by the treatment of the compounds of formula I with a solution of hydrochloric acid in the corresponding alcohol or by subjecting the acid or the salt of formula I to reaction with thionyl chloride and subsequent reaction with the corresponding alcohol.
The compounds of formula I may also be produced by subjecting an .omega.-(2-oxo-4-imidazolin-1-yl)-alcanoic acid or a derivative thereof having the general formula IV ##STR4## wherein R.sup.1, R.sup.3 and R.sup.4 have the same meaning as in formula I, which may be produced by the synthesis described in the German patent application No. P 29 50 478.7, to reaction with an alkylating agent of formula V

EXAMPLE 48
[3-(4-Chlorophenyl)-2-oxo-4-phenyl-4-imidazolin-1-yl] acetic acid hexyl ester
1 g of [3-(4-chlorophenyl)-2-oxo-4-phenyl-4-imidazolin-1-yl] acetic acid are dissolved in a small amount of anhydrous chloroform. 0.7 g of thionylchloride are added thereto and the mixture is stirred at about 50.degree. C. for 2 hours. The mixture is evaporated in a vacuum, the residue is mixed with a small amount of chloroform and 0.31 g of hexanol are added to the mixture. After stirring for one hour at room temperature, the CHCl.sub.3 -solution is first extracted with an NaHCO.sub.3 -solution and then with water. It finally is dried over Na.sub.2 SO.sub.4. The CHCl.sub.3 -solution is evaporated, remaining hexanol is distilled off a high vacuum and the residue is further purified chromatographically on silicic acid gel using CHCl.sub.3 as eluant.
Yield: 0.5 g (oil)
IR (film): 1750 and 1710 cm.sup.-1.
