Abstract
The invention relates to compounds of the general formula (I): ##STR1## wherein R.sub.3 represents a group ##STR2## R.sub.1, R.sub.2, R.sub.6, R.sub.7 being as defined in the description. Medicinal product useful in treating a disorder due to vasodilatation of the vascular system.
Description

The present invention relates to new naphthalene amides and sulphonamides, processes for their preparation and pharmaceutical compositions containing them.
Numerous acid derivatives having a naphthalene structure are described in the literature.
With regard to sulphonamides, European Patent EP 397044 describes arylsulphonamides both as antagonists of thromboxane and as inhibitors of thromboxane synthetase.
U.S. Pat. No. 4,900,739 describes sulphonamides having a naphthalene nucleus which are used as intermediates in the synthesis of aldose reductase inhibitors.
The publication J. Org. Chem (1990) 55 (8) pp 2563-4 describes, inter alia, the production of sulphonamides having a naphthalene nucleus.
With regard to amides, Japanese Patent JP 90256655 describes naphthaleneacetamide compounds, antagonists of the glutamate receptor.
The publication J. Med. Chem (1985) 28 (11) pp 1721-7 describes N-alkyl-2-naphthaleneacetamide compounds as intermediates in the synthesis of antidepressants.
The applicants have now discovered new amides and sulphonamides having a naphthalene nucleus which exhibit the property of binding with a high affinity to serotoninergic receptors. That affinity is associated with an extremely high selectivity for 5-HT.sub.1 receptors and more especially for 5-HT.sub.1 D receptors.
The amides and sulphonamides cited in the literature, apart from being structurally very different from the compounds of the invention, are at no point described as exhibiting such an affinity for serotoninergic receptors.
The very good affinity of the compounds of the invention for serotoninergic receptors, associated with their vasoconstrictive properties and their low toxicity, make them valuable for the treatment of pain resulting from vasodilatation of the cranial vascular system, and therefore especially for the treatment of migraines, cephalgia and vascular pains of the face.
The present invention relates more especially to naphthalene compounds of the general formula (I): ##STR3## it being possible for each of the two substituents, independently of the other, to be located on either one of the two naphthalene rings, and wherein
R.sub.1 and R.sub.2, which are the same or different, each represents, independently of the other:
a hydrogen atom,
a straight-chain or branched alkyl radical having from 1 to 6 carbon atoms,
a cycloalkyl radical having from 3 to 7 carbon atoms, or a cycloalkyl-(C.sub.1 -C.sub.4)alkyl radical,
a straight-chain or branched alkenyl radical having from 2 to 6 carbon atoms,
an optionally substituted aryl radical,
an optionally substituted aralkyl radical of which the alkyl chain contains from 1 to 3 carbon atoms,
or, with the nitrogen atom carrying them, together form a ring system selected from: ##STR4## X represents an oxygen or sulphur atom, m, an integer, may be 0, 1, 2, 3, 4 or 5,
n, an integer, may be 1 or 2,
a and b, integers, may be 0, 1 or 2, with a+b .noteq.0,
c and d, integers, may be 0, 1, 2, 3 or 4, with c+d.noteq.0,
e, an integer, may be 4 or 5,
R.sub.4 represents:
a hydrogen atom,
a straight-chain or branched alkyl radical having from 1 to 6 carbon atoms,
an optionally substituted aryl radical,
an optionally substituted aralkyl radical of which the alkyl chain contains from 1 to 3 carbon atoms,
a ##STR5## group in which R.sub.5 represents a straight-chain or branched alkyl radical having from 1 to 6 carbon atoms or an optionally substituted phenyl or naphthyl radical,
R.sub.3 represents: ##STR6## and R.sub.6 and R.sub.7, which are the same or different, have the same definition as R.sub.1 and R.sub.2,
their isomers, enantiomers and diastereoisomers, isolated or in the form of a mixture, and
their addition salts with a pharmaceutically acceptable mineral or organic acid;
by "aryl group" there is to be understood a phenyl, naphthyl, pyrimidyl or pyridyl group;
the expressions "optionally substituted aryl" and "optionally substituted aralkyl" indicate that the aromatic nucleus or nuclei may be substituted by one or more hydroxy, halogen, trifluoromethyl, nitro, straight-chain or branched alkyl having from 1 to 6 carbon atoms or straight-chain or branched alkoxy having from 1 to 6 carbon atoms.
The present invention extends also to a process for the preparation of compounds of the general formula (I), which is characterised in that there is used as starting material a naphthalene compound of formula (II): ##STR7## which is treated with N-bromosuccinimide to obtain the brominated compound of formula (III): ##STR8## which may be either:

2) reacted with an alkali metal cyanide in DMSO or in alcoholic medium to obtain the cyanomethyl compound of formula (XI): ##STR19## which is then hydrolysed, either in aqueous alcoholic medium with an alkali metal hydroxide, or in acidic medium, to obtain the naphthylacetic acid of formula (XII): ##STR20## which is then treated in conventional manner with thionyl chloride to obtain the acid chloride of formula (XIII): ##STR21## which is then reacted with an amine of formula (VI): ##STR22## wherein R.sub.6 and R.sub.7 are as defined for compounds of the general formula (I), to obtain the amide compound of formula (XIV): ##STR23## wherein R.sub.6 and R.sub.7 are as defined for compounds of the general formula (I), which is then treated with bromine to obtain the brominated compound of formula (XV): ##STR24## wherein R.sub.6 and R.sub.7 are as defined for compounds of the general formula (I), which is then reduced with triethylsilane in trifluoroacetic acid to obtain the compound of formula (XVI): ##STR25## wherein R.sub.6 and R.sub.7 are as defined for compounds of the general formula (I), which is reacted:

it being understood that the compounds of the general formulae (I.sub.A1), (I.sub.A2), (I.sub.B1) and (I.sub.B2) represent the totality of the compounds of formula (I) and may, if desired, be converted into salts with a pharmaceutically acceptable acid and, if necessary, separated into their different isomers.
The compounds of the general formula (I) have valuable pharmacological properties.
Studies determining affinity have shown that the compounds of the invention behave like powerful ligands of 5-HT.sub.1 receptors and more specially 5-HT.sub.1 D receptors. That affinity is associated with a high selectivity in relation to other receptors, such as .alpha.-adrenergic, dopaminergic, gaba-ergic and histaminergic receptors.
The compounds of the general formula (I) are of low toxicity and have good vasoconstrictive properties which render them valuable in the treatment of pain due to vasodilatation of the vascular system, and thus especially for the treatment of migraines, cephalgia and vascular pains of the face, as well as arterial and veinous circulation disorders.
The present invention relates also to pharmaceutical compositions containing as active ingredient at least one compound of the general formula (I), or an addition salt thereof with a pharmaceutically acceptable acid, alone or in combination with one or more inert, non-toxic excipients or carriers.
Of the pharmaceutical compositions according to the invention there may be mentioned, more especially, those suitable for oral, parenteral or nasal administration, tablets, dragees, sublingual tablets, sachets, paquets, gelatin capsules, glossettes, lozenges, suppositories, creams, ointments, dermic gels etc..
The dosage varies according to the age and weight of the patient, the nature and severity of the disorder and the route of administration, which may be oral, nasal, cutaneous, rectal or parenteral.
Generally, the unit dose ranges from 0.05 to 50 mg from one to three times per day.

Pharmacological Study of the Compounds of the Invention
EXAMPLE A
In Vitro Determination of the Affinity for Serotoninergic Receptors
The in vitro affinity tests of the compounds of the invention for the receptors 5-HT.sub.1 A, 5-HT.sub.1 C, 5-HT.sub.1 D, 5-HT.sub.2, 5-HT.sub.3, D.sub.1, D.sub.2 .alpha..sub.1, .alpha..sub.2 were carried out according to conventional methods by displacement of a reference radioligand.
______________________________________RECEPTOR RADIOLIGAND TISSUE USED______________________________________5-HT.sub.1 A 8-OH DPAT hippocampus5-HT.sub.1 C N-methyl mesulergine frontal cortex, hippocampus5-HT.sub.1 D 5-OH tryptamine cortex + striatum + GP5-HT.sub.2 amino iodo ketanserin frontal cortex5-HT.sub.3 BRL 43694 Area postrema NTS______________________________________
The results of these binding studies show that the compounds of the invention exhibit a marked affinity for serotoninergic receptors associated with a pronounced selectivity for 5-HT.sub.1 D receptors.
That selectivity for 5-HT.sub.1 D receptors is also very significant (at least a factor of 100) in relation to the dopaminergic receptors D.sub.1, D.sub.2 and the adrenergic receptors .alpha..sub.1, .alpha..sub.2.
2-{1-[2-(dimethylamino)ethyl]naphth-7-yl}-N-methyl-methanesulphonamide, for example, has an affinity of the order of 10.sup.-7 M for 5-HT.sub.1 D receptors whilst its affinity for the other serotoninergic receptors is from 10.sup.-6 M to 10.sup.-5 M and for D.sub.1, D.sub.2, .alpha..sub.1 and .alpha..sub.2 receptors is less than 10.sup.-5 M.
EXAMPLE B
Acute Toxicity Study
The acute toxicity "per os" of the compounds of the invention was evaluated after oral administration of the test compounds to groups of 10 SWISS mice (average weight 22 g).
The animals are observed at regular intervals during the course of the first day, and daily for the two weeks following treatment. The LD.sub.50 (dose that causes the death of 50% of the animals) was evaluated.
For most of the test compounds, the LD.sub.50 is greater than 1 g kg.sup.-1, which indicates a weak acute toxicity "per os".
EXAMPLE C
In Vitro Demonstration of a Vasoconstrictive Activity in the Basilar Artery of Dogs
Experiments are carried out on annular sections of the basilar artery of dogs from which the endothelium has been removed and which are placed in an organ chamber enabling the measurement of isometric contractions in the presence or absence of ketanserin.
The studies carried out demonstrate that the compounds of the invention, like serotonin, are capable of inducing contractions in arterial sections. The fact that those contractions are not antagonised by ketanserin shows that the contractions are not mediated by the 5-HT.sub.2 receptors.
2-{1-[2-(dimethylamino)ethyl]naphth-7-yl}-N-methyl-methanesulphonamide, for example, has an EC.sub.50 of the order of 10.sup.-6 M in that test.
The same compound with the same doses does not show any significant effect on annular sections of the coronary artery or on sections of the saphenous vein.
