Optically active isoindoline derivatives, their production and use

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION
The present invention relates to a pharmaceutical, specifically an optically active isoindoline derivative effective in the improvement, treatment or prevention of anxiety-associated nervous symptoms, and an intermediate for synthesis thereof.
In the field of antianxiety drugs, which act on the central nervous system, new compounds having no benzodiazepine skeleton have been investigated. Antianxiety and other drugs acting on the central nervous system must be orally administrable and cause no side effects such as muscular relaxation or sleep induction.
The present inventors conducted investigations and discovered an isoindolinone derivative represented by Formula A, which exhibits excellent antianxiety action, and a pharmacologically acceptable salt thereof (see Japanese Patent Publication Open to Public Inspection No. 69773/1986 corresponding to EP-A-0174858 and U.S. Pat. No. 4,695,572). ##STR2## [wherein X represents hydrogen, halogen or nitro; Ar represents phenyl or naphthyridinyl which may be replaced with a substituent; with respect to Z.sup.1 and Z.sup.2, either represents hydrogen while the other represents a lower alkanoyloxy or hydroxy, or both represent a lower alkoxy, or both cooperatively represent hydroxyimino, oxo or a group represented by the formula: ##STR3## wherein Y represents oxygen or sulfur; A represents a lower alkylene chain which may be branched].

FIG. 2 shows the results of high performance liquid chromatography obtained in the Analytical Example (the compound of Example 1 used), in which peak 1 is the peak for (S)-(+) configuration.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION
The present inventors investigated in more detail a group of compounds having the following structural formulas II, III and IV, included in the isoindoline derivatives represented by Formula A. ##STR4##
The compounds of the above formulas (II), (III) and (IV) each have asymmetric carbon atoms in their molecular structure involving two optical isomers, namely (R) configuration and (S) configuration. Thus, the present inventors conducted detailed investigations of these optical isomers, and found for the first time that, with respect to known compound (A), which possesses antianxiety action, the (S)-(+) configuration alone exhibits excellent antianxiety action.
The present inventors found that an optically active isoindoline derivative represented by the following formula (I') exhibits excellent antianxiety action, i.e., improving, therapeutic and preventive action on anxiety-associated nervous symptoms, and that the (S)-(+)-isoindoline derivative alone possesses bioactivities, while the (R)-(-) configuration has no beneficial bioactivity, the latter being the first such discovery in the field of antianxiety drugs. The inventors conducted further investigations based on these findings, and developed the present invention. ##STR5## wherein X' represents ##STR6##
Accordingly, the present invention comprises an optically active isoindoline derivative represented by the formula: ##STR7## wherein X represents --OH, a reactive derivative thereof, ##STR8## and an improving, therapeutic and preventive agent for anxiety-associated nervous symptoms whose active ingredient is an (S)-(+)-isoindoline derivative represented by the formula: ##STR9## wherein X' represents ##STR10##
With respect to Formula (I), the compound having --OH or a reactive derivative thereof for X is useful as an intermediate for synthesis of a compound wherein X is ##STR11##
Examples of a reactive derivative of hydroxyl represented by X in the Formula (I) include halogen (e.g. fluorine, chlorine, bromine, iodine; preferably chlorine), lower (C1-4) alkoxy (e.g. methoxy, ethoxy, propoxy, isopropoxy, butoxy) and N-hydroxydiacylimide ester (e.g. N-hydroxysuccinimide ester, N-hydroxyphthalimide ester, N-hydroxy-5-norbornene-2,3-dicarboximide ester), with preference given to halogen.
The (S)-(+)-isoindoline derivative of the present invention is a compound represented by the following formula (V): ##STR12## wherein X represents --OH, a reactive derivative thereof, ##STR13##
More specifically, the bioactive compound of the present invention can be represented by the following formulas (VI, VII and VIII). ##STR14##
METHOD FOR PRODUCTION
The optically active (S)-(+)-isoindoline derivative (V), a compound of the present invention, can be obtained by resolving the racemic modification isoindoline-3-acetate intermediate (IX) by a known method to yield an optically active (S)-(+)-isoindoline-3-acetate intermediate (X) and, if necessary, converting the compound (X; X=hydroxyl) into a compound (X'; X=a reactive derivative of hydroxyl) by a known method, and subsequently amidating the compound (X or X') by a known method (e.g., the method described in Japanese Patent Publication Open to Public Inspection No. 69773/1986 corresponding to U.S. Pat. No. 4,695,572). ##STR15##
The racemic modification isoindoline-3-acetate intermediate (IX) can be synthesized by the method described in Japanese Patent Publication Open to Public Inspection No. 69773/1986 corresponding to U.S. Pat. No. 4,695,572. It can be optically resolved by the typical method described below.
(1) The method in which a salt with an optically active amine, such as (+)-cinchonine or (-)-cinchonidine, (-)-quinine, (-)-brucine, (+)-ephedrine or (-)-ephedrine, (+)-lysine, (+)-dehydroabietylamine, (+)- or (-)-.alpha.-methylbenzylamine, (+)- or (-)-.alpha.-methyl-p-nitrobenzylamine, (+)- or (-)-1-(1-naphthyl)ethylamine, (+)- or (-)-(cis-2-benzylaminocyclohexyl)methanol, (+)- or (-)-.alpha.-phenylglycine or (+)-tyrosine hydrazide, is formed and fractionally recrystallized from an appropriate solvent and then treated with acid (e.g., hydrochloric acid, sulfuric acid, nitric acid, phosphoric acid), to yield a free acid (X). ##STR16##
(In the above formulas, *Z represents an optically active amine).
(2) The method using a chiral column to resolve the racemic modification.
(3) The method in which the racemic modification (IX) is converted to an ester of an optically active alcohol, which is then separated by fractional recrystallization or silica gel column chromatography, to yield an optically active ester, which is then separated by deesterification with acid. ##STR17##
(In the above formulas, *ROH represents an optically active alcohol).
Examples of optically active alcohols preferred for this method include 1-methol and (+)- or (-)-.alpha.-methylbenzyl alcohol.
The optically active isoindoline derivative of the present invention can also be produced by resolving the racemic modification thereof using a chiral column.
The pharmacological action of the optically active isoindoline derivative (V) of the present invention is described below.
BIOCHEMICAL EXPERIMENT
The affinity of the compound of the present invention to a benzodiazepine receptor was investigated using radioactive [.sup.3 H] diazepam.
Capability of specific binding to a benzodiazepin receptor was determined in accordance with the method described in the literature (Nature, 266, 732 (1977); European J. Pharmacol., 48, 263 (1978). Specifically, a crude mitochondrial fraction obtained from the cerebral cortex of male SD rats at 9 to 10 weeks of age was suspended in 50 mM Tris-HCL buffer (pH 7.4), and incubated, together with several concentrations of the subject drug and .sup.3 H-diazepam (final concentration 2 nM), at 4.degree. C. for 20 minutes. This suspension was then filtered through a Whatman GF/B glass fiber filter, and the .sup.3 H-diazepam radioactivity on the filter was measured using a liquid scintillation counter. The concentration of the subject drug at which .sup.3 H-diazepam binding was inhibited by 50% was taken as the IC.sub.50 value.
Results from a typical compounds (VI) and (VIII) of the present invention and the corresponding racemic modifications thereof are shown in Table 1.
TABLE 1______________________________________Compound IC.sub.50 (nM)______________________________________(VI) 0.320Racemic modification 0.380(VIII) 0.92Racemic modification 2.14______________________________________
As is evident from these results, the resolution product (VI) had no enhanced affinity to the benzodiazepin receptor, because the racemic modification itself already possesses nearly fully potent action.
PHARMACOLOGICAL EXPERIMENT
The antianxiety action of the compound of the present invention was investigated.
Antianxiety Action
Antianxiety action was assessed, in accordance with the method of Vogel et al. Psychopharmacologia, 21, 1 (1970), as follows. An apparatus, comprising a large transparent box with a stainless steel lattice floor and a small dark opaque box with a water drinking port, was set so that the subject animals' feet were electrically stimulated via the lattice floor once per 20 times of water drinking. Male rats (SD/JCL), denied water for 48 hours, were orally dosed with the subject compound. 30 minutes later, each animal was placed in the apparatus; water drinking frequency in 3 minutes was counted, and the rate of increase from the water drinking frequency in the physiological saline dosed group was calculated for an index of intensity of antianxiety action to determine the minimum effective dose.
Compounds (VI) and (VIII), typical among the compounds (V) of the present invention, and the corresponding racemic modifications thereof were compared as to antianxiety action. The results are shown in Table 2.
TABLE 2______________________________________ Minimum Effective Dose (MED) of the Minimum Effective Compounds (VI) and Dose (MED) of the (VIII) of the Present CorrespondingTesting Item Invention Racemic Modifications______________________________________Antianxiety action 1.25 mg/kg, p.o. 10 mg/kg, p.o.(Vogel method)of (VI)Antianxiety action 5.0 mg/kg, i.p. 20 mg/kg, i.p.(Vogel method)of (VIII)______________________________________
As seen in Table 2, the antianxiety action of compounds (VI) and (VIII) of the present invention was, surprisingly, 8 times and 4 times stronger than that of the corresponding racemic modifications, respectively. These finding cannot be expected from the common idea of racemic modification resolution products, nor from the action on a benzodiazepin receptor shown in Table 1.
Compound (V) of the present invention acts on the central nervous system of mammals. It possesses a high capability of specific binding to benzodiazepine receptors and exhibits strong antianxiety action in anticonflict experiments in rats. The minimum lethal dose (MLD) of the compound of the present invention in rats is over 1000 mg/kg (P.O.), much higher than the minimum effective dose (MED), indicating a very wide range of drug safety. For example, the MED of compound (VI) for antianxiety action in rats is 1.25 mg/kg (P.O.) or lower.
Compound (V) of the present invention, in comparison with the racemic modification isoindolinone derivative described above and the currently commercially available antianxiety benzodiazepin drugs, has a wider range of drug safety, separation of action from hypnotic action, muscular relaxation action and other side effects is very good, the sleepiness, dizziness and similar side effects are very slight, and its oral administration offers a marked effect; it is useful as an antianxiety drug in humans and other mammalians.
Diseases against which the compound of the present invention is effective include various psychosomatic diseases and anxiety syndromes, such as autonomic imbalance, nervous vomiting, nervous dermatitis, alopecia areata, nervous angina pectoris and nervous dyspnea; the compound of the present invention can be used to prevent or treat these diseases. The compound of the present invention also exhibits antispasmodic action. It can therefore also be used to treat epilepsy and traumatic spasm, for instance.
The compound of the present invention is, for example, administered to humans and other mammalians orally or parenterally in various dosage forms, including tablets, granules, capsules, injections and suppositories. Although dose quantity varies depending on the target disease, symptoms and other factors, it is normally 0.01 mg to 100 mg, preferably 0.05 mg to 10 mg daily in oral administration for adults.
