Nitrogen containing heterocyclic compounds, their production and use

FIELD OF THE INVENTION
The present invention relates to novel nitrogen-containing heterocyclic compounds having potent pharmacological activity and intermediates for the preparation thereof. More particularly, the present invention relates to compounds having potent anti-hypertensive activity and angiotensin II antagonist activity, which are useful as therapeutic agents for treating circulatory diseases such as hypertensive diseases, heart diseases, strokes, etc.
BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION
The renin-angiotensin system is involved in the homeostatic function to control systemic blood pressure, the volume of body fluid, balance among the electrolytes, etc., associated with the aldosterone system. Development of angiotensin II converting enzyme inhibitors (ACE inhibitor) (this converting enzyme produces angiotensin II which possesses strong vasoconstrictive activity) has clarified the relation between the renin-angiotensin system and hypertension. Since angiotensin II elevates blood pressure via the angiotensin II receptors on cell membranes, angiotensin II antagonists as well as the ACE inhibitor would be useful in treating hypertension.
It has been reported that various angiotensin II analogues such as saralasin, [Sar.sup.1,Ile.sup.8 ]A II, and the like, possess potent angiotensin II antagonist activity.
It has, however, been reported that, when peptide antagonists are administered parenterally, their actions are not prolonged and, when administered orally, they are ineffective (M. A. Ondetti and D. W. Cushman, Annual Reports in Medicinal Chemistry, 13, 82-91 (1978)).
Non-peptide angiotensin II antagonists are disclosed in Japanese Patent Laid Open No. 71073/1981; No. 71074/1981; No. 92270/1982; No. 157768/1983; No. 240683/1987; No. 23868/1988; and No. 117876/1989, and European Patent Laid Open No. 0323841, etc.
Imidazole derivatives having angiotensin II antagonist activity are disclosed in A. T. Chiu et al., Eur. J. Pharm., 157, 13 (1981), P. C. Wong et al., J. Pharmcol. Exp. Ther., 247, 1 (1988), P. C. Wong et al., Hypertension, 13, 489 (1989), etc.

To a stirred mixture of sodium hydride (60% dispersion in mineral oil, 0.3 g) in DMF (50 ml) was added 2-propyl-4(3H)-quinazolinone (1.0 g) and the mixture was stirred at room temperature for 15 minutes. After addition of 4-[2'-(N-trityltetrazol-5-yl)phenyl]benzyl bromide (5.0 g), the reaction mixture was stirred at room temperature for 19 hours and concentrated to dryness. The residue was extracted with ethyl acetate-water and the organic layer was washed with water, dried and concentrated to dryness. The resulting syrup was purified by column chromatography on silica gel to give a colorless amorphous (2.34 g, 66%).

EXPERIMENTAL EXAMPLE 1
Inhibition of binding of angiotensin-II to angiotensin receptor
Method
An experiment of inhibition on the binding of angiotensin-II (A-II) to A-II-receptor was conducted by modifying the method of Douglas et al. [Endocrinology, 102, 685-696 (1978)]. An A-II-receptor was prepared from the membrane fraction of bovine adrenal cortex.
The compound of the present invention (10.sup.-9 M to 3.times.10.sup.-5 M) and .sup.125 I-A-II (1.85 kBq/50 .mu.l) were added to the receptor membrane fraction, and the mixture was incubated at room temperature for one hour. The receptor-bound and free .sup.125 I-A-II were separated through a filter (Whatman GF/B filter), and the radioactivity of .sup.125 I-A-II bound to the receptor was measured.
Results
The results relating to the compounds of the present invention are shown in Table 8.
EXPERIMENTAL EXAMPLE 2
Inhibitory Effect of the Compound of the Present Invention on Pressor Action of A-II
Method
Jcl: SD rats (9 week old, male) were used. On the day previous to the experiment, these animals were applied with cannulation into the femoral artery and vein under anesthesia with pentobarbital Na. The animals were fasted but allowed free access to drinking water until the experiment was started. Just on the day of conducting the experiment, the artery cannula was connected with a blood-pressure transducer, and the average blood pressure was recorded by means of polygraph. Before administration of the drug, the pressor action due to intravenous administration of A-II (100 ng/kg) as the control was measured. The drugs were orally administered, and then, at each point of the measurement, A-II was administered intravenously, and the pressor action was similarly measured. By comparing the pressor action before and after administration of the drug, the precent inhibition by the drug on A-II-induced pressor action was evaluated.
Results
The results relating to the compounds of the present invention are shown in Table 8.
