N-substituted pseudo-aminosugars, their production and use

The present invention relates to N-substituted Pseudo-aminosugars having an inhibitory activity against glucoside hydrolase, to processes for producing the same, and to .alpha.-glucosidase inhibitors containing the above-mentioned derivatives.
The present inventors previously isolated as a constituent of validamycin, an antibiotic, the compound of the formula ##STR2## which was named "valienamine" (Y. Kameda and S. Horii; Journal of the Chemical Society; Chemical Communications, 1972, 746 to 747), and reported that valienamine possesses an action of suppressing the function of .alpha.-glucoside hydrolase (Y. Kameda et al., Journal of Antibiotics 33, 1575 to 1576 (1980)). In recent years, various compounds having valienamine moiety, which exhibit .alpha.-glycosidase inhibitory activity, are reported e.g. "Acarbose" in U.S. Pat. No. 4,062,950, "Trestatin A, B and C" in German laid open patent application No. 2,905,649 but their actions to suppress the function of .alpha.-glucoside hydrolase are unsatisfactory.
The present inventors investigated an .alpha.-glycosidase inhibitory activity of various compounds which are similar to valienamine in chemical structure and, after lots of research, found that validamine [Horii et al., Journal of Antibiotics 24, pp. 59 to 63 (1971)] possesses a highly valuable action of suppressing the function of a .alpha.-glucoside hydrolase or the action as an .alpha.-glucosidase inhibitor. The present inventors also found that valiolamine of the formula ##STR3## which was discovered and isolated from a culture broth of the genus streptomyces, possesses .alpha.-glucosidase inhibitory activity. These findings were further followed by continued studies on various novel derivatives of validamine and valiolamine, and as a result, it was found that a group of N-substituted derivatives of validamine and valiolamine exhibits stronger .alpha.-glucosidase inhibitory activity than valienamine, which has culminated in the present invention.
Thus, the present invention relates to a compound of the formula ##STR4## wherein A is a chain hydrocarbon group having 1 to 10 carbon atoms optionally substituted by hydroxyl, phenoxy, thienyl, furyl, pyridyl, cyclohexyl or an optionally substituted phenyl group, or a cyclic hydrocarbon group having 3 to 7 carbon atoms optionally substituted by hydroxyl; B is hydrogen or hydroxyl, processes for producing the compound [I] and an .alpha.-glucosidase inhibitor containing the compound [I].

The .alpha.-glucosidase inhibitor of the present invention, because of its ability to suppress the metabolism of carbohydrates in man and other animals, exhibits the blood-sugar elevation suppressing function, and is a compound useful for hyperglycemic symptoms and various disorders caused by hyperglycemia such as obesity, adiposity, hyperlipemia (arteriosclerosis), diabetes, and prediabetes as well as prophylaxis of diseases attributable to sugar metabolism by microorganisms in oral cavity such as dental caries. Foods prepared by adding compounds [I] are useful as a therapeutic diet for patients affected with metabolic abnormality and as a prophylactic diet for healthy persons, as well. In addition, the derivatives are of use as an additive for livestock feed which helps to obtain low-fat, high-quality animal flesh for food. Therefore, the .alpha.-glucosidase inhibitors of the present invention are of value as drugs, food additives and livestock feed additives. The .alpha.-glucosidase inhibitors of the present invention are administered orally or parenterally, preferably orally.
The above-mentioned compounds [I] are stable crystals or powders and almost free from toxicity (LD.sub.50 in rats, not lower than 1000 mg), and can be utilized as a free base or hydrate and also as any non-toxic acid addition salts formed with pharmacologically allowable acids by conventional methods. As examples of such acids, use is made of inorganic acids such as hydrochloric acid, hydrobromic acid, sulfuric acid, phosphoric acid and nitric acid, and organic acids such as acetic acid, malic acid, citric acid, ascorbic acid, mandelic acid and methanesulfonic acid. Such compounds [I] are used solely or as mixtures with non-toxic carriers, and may be utilized with liquid or solid foods such as coffee, beverages, fruit juice, beer, milk, jam, bean jam and jelly, seasoning agents, or the principal and subsidiary foods, etc. They can be used directly or in the form of a food additives, or can be administered before or after meals. Further, they can also find application as additives for likestock feed which serve to obtain low-fat, high-quality animal flesh for food.
The inhibitors of the present invention can be diluted with non-toxic carriers, for example, such liquid carries as water, ethanol, ethylene glycol and polyethylene glycol, and such solid carriers as starch, cellulose and polyamide powders, and prepared into ampoules, granules, tablets, pills, capsules, syrups, etc. by conventional methods to utilize in the above-mentioned, various application fields. In addition, they can also be used in combination with sweetening, preservatives, dispersing agents and coloring agents.
Specifically, preparations containing for example 20 to 300 mg of the compound [I], when given after each meal, can suppress elevation of postprandial blood glucose lebel. Furthermore, the compounds [I] may be added to various foods at ratios in the range of 0.01 to 1% of a carbohydrate content in the food.
In the case of blending in livestock feed, it is desirable to add in the ratio of 0.001 to 1% of a carbohydrate content in feed.
The compounds [I] of the present invention are all the novel compounds that have not been described in the literature, and can be synthesized for example by the following method: that is to say, they can be synthesized by subjecting to a reduction reaction a Schiff's base obtained by reacting a chain aldehyde or ketone of 1 to 10 carbon atoms optionally substituted by hydroxyl, phenoxy, thienyl, furyl, pyridyl, cyclohexyl or an optionally substituted phenyl group; or a cyclic ketone having 3 to 7 carbon atoms optionally substituted by hydroxyl and validamine or valiolamine in an appropriate solvent. The condensation reaction of an amino group in validamine or valiolamine with aldehyde or ketone, and the subsequent reduction reaction may be consecutively conducted in the same reaction vessel, or the reactions may be carried out separately in two stages. As the reaction solvent, use can be made of polar solvents such as water, alcohols e.g. methanol, propanol and butanol, dimethylsulfoxide, dimethylformamide, N-methylacetamide, glymes e.g. methyl cellosolve, dimethyl cellosolve and diethylene glycol dimethyl ether, dioxane, tetrahydrofuran and acetonitrile, or their mixed solvents, or mixtures of these polar solvents with non-polar solvents such as chloroform and dichloromethane.
The reaction temperature in the Schiff's base formation reaction is not particularly limited, and the reaction is carried out by heating at temperature in the range of room temperature to 100.degree. C. The reaction times varies depending upon the reaction temperature and the type of aldehydes or ketones used, but the desired objective can be achieved normally by allowing the reaction to proceed for a period in the range of several minutes to 24 hours.
For the purpose of the reduction reaction of the Schiff's base formed, use is advantageously made of various reducing agents, for example, metal hydride complexes such as alkali-metal borohydrides, e.g., sodium borohydride, potassium borohydride, lithium borohydride and sodium trimethoxy borohydride, alkali-metal cyanoborohydrides, e.g., sodium cyanoborohydride, alkali-metal aluminium hydrides, e.g., lithium aluminium hydride, and dialkylamine boranes, e.g., dimethylamine borane. In cases in which alkali-metal cyanohydrides such as sodium cyanohydride are used, further, it is desirable to conduct the reaction under acid conditions, for example, in the presence of hydrochloric acid, acetic acid, etc.
The reaction temperature is not particularly limited, and the reaction is conducted normally at room temperature or, as the case may be, by heating at temperature up to about 100.degree. C.; the reaction temperature varies depending upon the type of Schiff's bases and the kind of reducing agents. The reaction time also varies according to the reaction temperature and the kinds of Schiff's bases to be reduced and reducing agents, and the desired objective can be attained normally by allowing the reaction to proceed for a period in the range of several minutes to 24 hours.
For the purpose of a reduction reaction of the Schiff's base formed, use is also made of means of catalytic reduction. That is to say, the reduction reaction is conducted by shaking or stirring a Schiff's base in an appropriate solvent in the presence of a catalyst for catalytic reduction under a stream of hydrogen. As the catalyst for catalytic reduction, use is for example made of platinum black, platinum dioxide, palladium black, palladium carbon, Raney nickel, etc., while, as the solvent which is normally utilized, use is for example made of water, alcohols such as methanol and ethanol, dioxane, tetrahydrofurane, dimethylformamide or mixed solvents consisting of these. The reaction is normally conducted at room temperature, and may be carried out either under pressure or by heating.
The compound [I] can be synthesized by reacting with validamine or valiolamine in an appropriate solvent a chain hydrocarbon halide of 1 to 10 carbon atoms optionally substituted by hydroxyl, phenoxy, thienyl, furyl, pyridyl, cyclohexyl or an optionally substituted phenyl group, or a cyclic hydrocarbon halide have 3 to 7 carbon atoms optionally substituted by hydroxy.
As the appropriate reaction solvent, use is made of polar solvents such as water, lower alkanols e.g. methanol, ethanol, propanol and butanol, ketones e.g. acetone, methyl ethyl ketone and methyl isobutyl ketone, dimethylsulfoxide, dimethylformamide, N-methylacetamide, glymes e.g. methyl cellosolve, ethylene glycol dimethyl ether and diethylene glycol dimethyl ether, dioxane, tetrahydrofuran and acetonitrile, or their mixed solvents, or mixed solvents of these with non-polar solvents such as benzene, hexane, chloroform, dichloromethane and ethyl acetate, and others. In cases in which such mixed solvent do not present the homogeneous phase, the reaction may be conducted in the presence of a phase-transfer catalyst such as tert-ammonium salt (e.g. tetrabutyl ammonium bromide), crown ether (e.g. dibenzo-18-crown-6) and phosphonium salt (e.g. hexadecyltri-n-butylphosphonium bromide).
In this reaction use can be made of inorganic and organic bases such as alkali-metal bicarbonates, alkali-metal carbonates, alkali-metal hydroxides, trimethylamine, triethylamine, tributylamine, N-methylmorpholine, N-methylpiperidine, N,N-dimethylaniline, pyridine, picoline and lutidine.
The reaction temperature is not particularly limited, and the reaction is conducted normally at room temperature or by heating at temperature up to about 100.degree. C. The reaction time varies depending upon the reaction temperature, and the desired objective can be achieved normally by allowing the reaction to proceed for a period in the range of several minutes to 24 hours.
The compound [I] can be synthesized by the reaction of validamine or valiolamine with a compound of the formula ##STR5## wherein R.sup.1 is hydrogen; R is hydrogen, hydroxyl, phenoxy, thienyl, furyl, pyridyl, cyclohexyl or an optionally substituted phenyl; or a chain hydrocarbon group having 1 to 8 carbon atoms optionally substituted by hydroxyl, phenoxy, thienyl, furyl, pyridyl, cyclohexyl or an optionally substituted phenyl group, or R.sup.1 and R may form together with the adjacent methine group a cyclic hydrocarbon group of 3 to 7 carbon atoms optionally substituted by hydroxyl; in an appropriate solvent. Referring to the compound [II], the examples of the substituents in an optionally substituted phenyl represented by R include hydroxyl, a lower alkoxy such as methoxy, ethoxy, n-propoxy and isopropoxy, carboxyl, a halogen such as fluorine, chlorine, bromine and iodine, phenyl or a lower alkyl such as methyl, ethyl, propyl, isopropyl, n-butyl, sec-butyl and tert-butyl. As examples of a cyclic hydrocarbon group of 3 to 7 carbon atoms, there may be mentioned the same ones as those of the cyclic hydrocarbon group of 3 to 7 carbon atoms represented by A.
As the appropriate reaction solvent, use is made of polar solvents such as water, lower alkanols e.g. methanol, ethanol, propanol and butanol, ketones e.g. acetone, methyl ethyl ketone and methyl isobutyl ketone, dimethylsulfoxide, dimethylformamide, N-methylacetamide, glymes e.g. methyl cellosolve, ethylene glycol dimethyl ether and diethylene glycol dimethyl ether, dioxane, tetrahydrofuran and acetonitrile, or their mixed solvents, or mixed solvents of these with non-polar solvents such as benzene, hexane, chloroform, dichloromethane and ethyl acetate, and others. In cases in which such mixed solvents do not present the homogeneous phase, the reaction may be conducted in the presence of a phase-transfer catalyst such as crown ether, phosphonium salt and tert-ammonium salt.
The reaction temperature is not particularly limited, and the reaction is conducted normally at room temperature or by heating at temperature up to about 100.degree. C. The reaction time varies depending upon the reaction temperature, and the desired object can be achieved normally by allowing the reaction to proceed for a period in the range of several minutes to 24 hours.
Thus obtained object compound [I] can be purified by per se conventional process, e.g. extraction, precipitation, crystallization, recrystallization, column chromatohraphy or thin-layer chromatography. Validamine as a starting material in this invention can be obtained by the method described in "Journal of Antibiotics; 24, 59 (1971)" and valiolamine employed as a starting material can be prepared from valienamine by the reaction schema as below. ##STR6## (In the formula, Y is an alkyl, an aryl or an aralkyl; X is a halogen)

Below described are the test example, the reference example and examples to illustrate in detail the contents of the present invention.

Germany). The TLC was developed with n-propyl alcohol-acetic acid-water (4:1:1), and detection was effected by UV irradiation or with iodine vapor, unless otherwise specified.
