Among novel 3-indolylacetic acid derivatives of the present invention, there are many useful compounds, which have excellent anti-inflammatory activity with low toxicity. Illustratively, 1-(p-chlorobenzoyl)-2-methyl-5,6-methylenedioxy-3-indolylacetic acid, 1-(p-chlorobenzoyl)-2-methyl-6,7-dihydrofuro[2,3-f]-3-indolylacetic acid, 1-(p-fluorobenzoyl)-2-methyl-5,6-methylenedioxy-3-indolylacetic acid and 1-cinnamoyl-2-methyl-5,6-methylenedioxy-3-indolylacetic acid show remarkable inhibitory actions for carrageenin-induced edema in rats, and the ED.sub.50 of each compound is 17 mg/kg, 45 mg/kg, 14 mg/kg and 25 mg/kg respectively.
In contrast to the above facts, the many compounds of this invention are markedly low in toxicity, and even when over 500 mg/kg of these compounds are orally administrated respectively to rats and mice, they scarcely show toxic symptoms and occult bleeding is negative in feces thereof. Nevertheless, the activities of these compounds are very much higher than those of known compounds, i.e. 1,2-diphenyl-3,5-dioxo-4-n-butylpyrazolidine (phenylbutazone) and oxyphenbutazone. Therefore, these compounds are markedly valuable in practical use.
The novel indolylacetic acids of this invention and the corresponding salts are effective in the prevention and inhibition of granuloma tissue formation. They are of value in the treatment of arthritic and dermatological disorders and in like conditions which are responsive to treatment with anti-inflammatory agents. In addition, the compounds of this invention have useful degree of antipyretic and analgesic activities. For these purposes, they are administered in the form of pharmaceutical compositions, normally orally, e.g., in tablets or capsules, the suitable dosage depending, of course, upon the particular compound being used and the type of severity of the condition being treated. Although the suitable dosage of these compounds of this invention to be used in such manner depends on the compound employed and the particular type of disease condition to be treated, useful oral dosage levels of the compounds are in the range of 1.0 - 2000 mg per day depending on the activity of the specific compound to be used and on the reaction sensitivity of the patient.
Accordingly, an object of the present invention is to provide novel and useful indolylacetic acid derivatives and salts thereof which have excellent pharmacological properties.
Another object is to provide process for producing such novel and useful indolylacetic acid derivatives or salts thereof.
A further object is to provide novel N.sup.1 -acylated hydrazine and hydrazone derivative which are the key intermediates for the chemical synthesis of the indolylacetic acid derivatives.
A still further object is to provide pharmaceutical compositions containing such novel and useful indolylacetic acid derivatives or salts thereof.
Other objects and merits of the present invention will be apparent from the following description.
In order to accomplish these objects, the present invention provides novel 1-acyl-3-indolylacetic acid derivatives represented by the formula (I).
Further, the present invention provides a process for producing novel indolylacetic acid derivatives of the formula (I), which comprises treating an N.sup.1 -acylated compound represented by the formula ##SPC5##
wherein X.sub.1, X.sub.2, A, m, n and R.sub.3 are the same as defined above, and B is a member selected from the group consisting of ##EQU5## or Z (wherein Z is a nitrogen protecting system comprising at least one readily removable group), with an aliphatic acid derivative represented by the formula ##EQU6## wherein R.sub.1, R.sub.2 and R.sub.4 are the same as defined above.
Still further, the present invention provides a process for producing novel indolylacetic acid derivatives of the formula (I), and salts thereof, which comprises treating an N.sup.1 -acylated phenylhydrazine derivative [falling under the scope of formula (II)] represented by the formula ##SPC6##
wherein X.sub.1, X.sub.2, A, R.sub.3, m and n are the same as defined above, with a aliphatic acid derivative of the formula (III).
Still further, the present invention provides a process for producing novel indolylacetic acid derivatives, of the formula (I), which comprises treating a compound [falling under the scope of formula (II)] represented by the formula ##SPC7##
wherein X.sub.1, X.sub.2, A, R.sub.3, m and n are the same as defined above, and Z is a nitrogen protecting system comprising at least one readily removal group, with a aliphatic acid derivative of the formula (III).
Still further, the present invention provides a process for producing novel indolylacetic acid derivatives of the formula (I), which comprises treating a compound represented by the formula ##SPC8##
wherein X.sub.1, X.sub.2, B and n are the same as defined above, with an acid halide represented by the formula
R.sub.3 --(A).sub.m --CO--hal (V)
wherein A, R.sub.3 and m are the same as defined above, and hal is halogen, to give N.sup.1 -acylated compound of the formula (II), and treating the resultant N.sup.1 -acylated compound with an aliphatic acid derivative of the formula (III).
In the formula (II) and (II-b) the protecting system Z may be comprised of a group or groups which are readily removable by conventional procedures, well documented in the literature. Systems for which the character Z is assigned and which will function efficaciously for the purposes of the present invention are those which consist of, for example, a ketone or aldehyde residual group, one hydrogen group and one hydrocarbon carboxylic acyl group, or one hydrogen group and one sulfo radical. The ketone or aldehyde residual group employed is not particularly critical and any of these may be used. Suitable examples of these are derived from acetaldehyde, chloral, benzaldehyde, acetal, ethyl acetacetate, methoxy acetone, diphenyl ketone or the like. Other kentone or aldehyde residue well known in the art can also be employed. The hydrocarbon carboxylic acyl group used in the present invention will contain less than twelve carbon atoms and may be of a straight, branched, cyclic or cyclic-aliphatic chain structure. They may be of saturated, unsaturated or aromatic and optionally substituted by functional groups, such as hydroxy, nitro, amino, halogen and the like. Example of the hydrocarbon carboxylic acyl group includes formyl, acetyl, propionyl, trifluoroacetyl, benzoyl, and the like. Example of the sulfo radical includes sulfonic acid rest, alkali metal or alkali earth metal sulfonate or ammonium sulfonate rest.
The starting materials of formula (IV) may be synthesized by methods well known to those skilled in the art. Thus, the starting compounds of the formula (IV) wherein B is ##EQU7## may be prepared by the manner described in the article written by Macbeth et al. in J. Chem. Soc. 1951 2968. The compounds of the formula (IV) wherein B is a nitrogen protecting system may be prepared from the corresponding phenylhydrazine derivative of the formula (IV) wherein B is ##EQU8## by protecting the terminal amino function thereof with a suitable protecting system by well established techniques. For example, the compounds of the formula (IV) wherein B is ##EQU9## is reacted with a ketone or aldehyde to yield the corresponding compounds of the formula (IV) wherein B is a ketone residual group or an aldehyde residual group.
The compounds of formula (IV) are converted into the corresponding N.sup.1 -acylated compounds of formula (II) by treating the former compounds with an acid halide of formula (V).
The acid halide (V) may be chloride, bromide or iodide; and the chloride is preferred from a commercial point of view. The reaction is carried out in a solvent in the presence of hydrogen halide acceptor. As the hydrogen halide acceptor, a tertiary amine, for example, pyridine, picoline, triethylamine or dimethylaniline can be used. These hydrogen halide acceptors themselves can be used as solvents. Inert solvents such as ether, benzene, toluene, xylene and tetrahydrofuran can also be used as reaction solvents in the presence of equimolar or larger amount of these hydrogen halide acceptors. The reaction proceeds at room temperature in many cases, and even below 0.degree.C. in some kind of solvent used. The exothermix reaction is generally complete in a few minutes to several hours. After the reaction is completed, the produced hydrogen halide salt of the hydrogen halide acceptor is filtered off and the filtrate is concentrated under a reduced pressure, or the reaction mixture is poured into water when a water-soluble solvent like pyridine is used as the solvent, and the aimed N.sup.1 -acylated phenylhydrazone compound is easily obtained as crystals or an oily substance. These products can be purified with an appropriate solvent.
When the compound of the formula (IV) wherein B is ##EQU10## is acylated with an acid halide of the formula (V), the reaction is often accompanied by formation of by-product such as N.sup.2 -acylated compound or N.sup.1, N.sup.2 -diacylated compound. The objective N.sup.1 -acylated derivative (II-a) is separated and purified by removing the by-products by a suitable method such as column chromatography. However, the purification of the N.sup.1 -acylated compound is not necessary, because only the N.sup.1 -acylated derivative is concerned with the following reaction in the present invention.
When a compound having a comparatively weak --N=C<bonding is used as a derivative (IV) or under severe conditions of reaction, an N.sup.1 -acylated phenylhydrazine derivative (II-a) is directly obtained in place of an N.sup.1 -acylated phenylhydrazone derivative (II-b).
The compounds of the formula (II-a) is also prepared from the compounds of the formula (II-b) by removing the protecting system. The removal of the protecting system is conducted by utilizing conventional procedures well established in the art.
The thus-obtained N.sup.1 -acylated compound are treated with an aliphatic acid derivative of the formula (III) to yield the objective indolylacetic acid derivatives of the formula (I).
This reaction is carried out by heating in the presence or absence, of an adequate condensing agent and with or without an organic solvent. The yield is very high.
The present reaction proceeds smoothly without a solvent but it is preferable to use a suitable solvent in many cases. As the solvent, organic acids, for example, acetic acid, formic acid, propionic acid, lactic acid, butyric acid, non-polar organic solvents, for example, cyclohexane, n-hexane, benzene, toluene, and other organic solvents, such as dioxane and N,N-dimethyl formamide are used in the ring formation reaction. When an alcohol is used as a solvent in this reaction, a corresponding ester of indole aliphatic acid is produced.
Generally, the reaction proceeds at a temperature within a range of 50.degree. to 200.degree.C., but a temperature within a range of 65.degree.C to 95.degree.C. is preferable. The reaction proceeds rapidly and is generally completed in a short time, mostly in 1 or 2 hours. The condensing agent is not needed in some cases but desirable results are generally achieved by using a condensing agent. The condensing agent includes inorganic acids such as hydrochloric acid, sulfuric acid and phosphoric acid, metal halides such as zinc chloride and copper chloride, heavy metal powder such as copper powder, Grignard's reagents, boron fluorides, polyphosphoric acid or ion-exchange resins. Hydrochloric acid or the like is required in an equimolar or larger amount, while copper powder or the like may be in a small amount.
In after-treatment, the reaction mixture is allowed to stand at room temperature or in a refrigerator (about 5.degree.C.), and then a large amount of crystals of the product is obtained.
When crystals are not produced, the reaction mixture is concentrated under reduced pressure, or water, acetic acid-water or petroleum ether is adequately added to the mixture. And then, beautiful crystals can be obtained. Ether, acetone, acetone-water, alcohol, alcohol-water, benzene and acetic acid are generally preferred as a solvent for recrystallizing the present compound. The produced crystals are collected by filtration and, generally, they are washed with an aqueous solution of acetic acid, alcohol-water, water or petroleum ether before they are dried. Objective products are generally crystalline, but oily products are sometimes given in ester compounds.
Reaction solvents, reaction conditions, condensing agents and recrystallization solvents which have been mentioned above are only presented as illustrative of the present invention and are not limitative, in any way.
The 1-acyl-3-indolylacetic acid derivative of the formula (I) wherein R.sub.4 is hydrogen can be converted into the corresponding salts by treating the free acid with a base under mild conditions. In this manner there may be obtained alkaline metal salts such as a sodium, potassium, aluminium or magnesium salts or alkaline earth metal salts, such as barium or calcium salts. Salts of organic amines such as dimethylamine, morpholine, choline, diethylaminoethanol, methylcyclohexylamine, hystidine, arginine, lysine, thiamine, pyridoxamine or glucosamine may be obtained by reacting the acid with the appropriate organic base. Salts of heavy metals such as zinc and iron salts are also within the purview of this invention.
