BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION
Karanewsky et al. disclose antihypertensive phosphonyl hydroxyacyl amino acids of the formula ##STR2## wherein X includes L-proline in U.S. Pat. No. 4,452,790.
SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION
This invention is directed to processes for preparing phosphonyl hydroxyacyl proline compounds. These processes involve a phosphonous acid intermediate of a phosphonochloridate intermediate. The resulting final products possess angiotensin converting enzyme inhibition activity and are useful as antihypertensive agents.
This invention is also directed to certain phosphonyl hydroxyacyl proline compounds of the formula ##STR3## and pharmaceutically acceptable salts thereof wherein R.sub.1 is ##STR4## These compounds of formula I are especially useful as antihypertensive agents due to their outstanding oral activity.
The most preferred compound of formula I is the compound wherein R.sub.1 is ##STR5##
DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION
According to one process of this invention, a phosphonous acid of the formula ##STR6## is coupled to the hydroxyacyl proline ester of the formula ##STR7## wherein R.sub.4 is an easily removable ester protecting group such as benzyl or methyl in the presence of dicyclohexylcarbodiimide and N,N-dimethylaminopyridine. This reaction is performed in a solvent such as tetrahydrofuran and yields the intermediate of the formula ##STR8##
The intermediate of formula IV is oxidized with an oxidizing agent such as sodium periodate to give the ester product of the formula ##STR9## Removal of the R.sub.4 ester group, for example, by hydrogenation when R.sub.4 is benzyl or treatment with lithium hydroxide when R.sub.4 is methyl yields the phosphonyl hydroxyacyl proline final products of the formula ##STR10##
Alternatively, the phosphonous acid of formula II can be reacted with the alcohol of the formula ##STR11## in the presence of dicyclohexylcarbodiimide and N,N-dimethylaminopyridine to give the intermediate of the formula ##STR12##
This intermediate is then oxidized as described above to give ##STR13## Removal of the methyl ester group such as by treatment with lithium hydroxide gives the corresponding carboxylic acid which is then coupled with the proline ester of the formula ##STR14## in the presence of dicyclohexylcarbodiimide or carbonyl diimidazole to give the ester of formula V.
According to another process of this invention a phosphonic diester of the formula ##STR15## wherein R.sub.5 is an easily removable ester group such as benzyl or methyl is treated with phosphorus pentachloride to give the phosphonochloridate of the formula ##STR16##
The phosphonochloridate of formula XII is treated with the hydroxyacyl proline ester of formula III in the presence of N,N-dimethylaminopyridine and triethylamine to yield the diester of the formula ##STR17## Removal of the R.sub.4 and R.sub.5 ester protecting groups such as by hydrogenation when R.sub.4 and R.sub.5 are both benzyl yields the phosphonyl hydroxyacyl proline final products of formula VI.
Alternatively, the phosphonochloridate of formula XII wherein R.sub.5 is benzyl can be reacted with the alcohol of formula VII in the presence of dicyclohexylcarbodiimide and N,N-dimethylaminopyridine to give the intermediate of the formula ##STR18## Removal of the methyl ester group gives the corresponding carboxylic acid which can then be coupled in the presence of dicyclohexylcarbodiimide or carbonyl diimidazole to the proline ester of formula X to give the diester intermediate of formula XIII.
In the above reactions the variables have the meanings set forth below:
R.sub.2 is straight or branched chain alkyl of 1 to 10 carbons, --(CH.sub.2).sub.s --NH.sub.2, --(CH.sub.2).sub.s --halo wherein halo is Cl, Br, or F, --(CH.sub.2).sub.q --cycloalkyl wherein cycloalkyl is a saturated ring of 4 to 7 carbons, ##STR19##
s is an integer from 1 to 7.
q is zero or an integer from 1 to 7.
R.sub.6 is hydrogen, alkyl of 1 to 4 carbons, alkoxy of 1 to 4 carbons, alkylthio of 1 to 4 carbons, Cl, Br, F, CF.sub.3, or hydroxy.
p is one, two or three provided that p is more than one only if R.sub.6 is hydrogen, methyl, methoxy, Cl or F.
R.sub.3 is hydrogen, straight or branched chain alkyl of 1 to 7 carbons, --(CH.sub.2).sub.r --halo wherein halo is Cl, Br, or F, --CF.sub.3, ##STR20## --(CH.sub.2).sub.r --NH.sub.2, --(CH.sub.2).sub.r --SH, --(CH.sub.2).sub.r --S--alkyl wherein alkyl is of 1 to 4 carbons, ##STR21##
r is an integer from 1 to 4.
R.sub.7 and R.sub.8 are independently selected from hydrogen, straight or branched chain alkyl of 1 to 7 carbons, --(CH.sub.2).sub.s --halo wherein halo is Cl, Br, or F, ##STR22## wherein cycloalkyl is a saturated ring of 4 to 7 carbons, ##STR23##
m is zero, one, two, or three.
R.sub.4 and R.sub.5 are easily removable ester protecting groups such as methyl and benzyl.
In the above reactions, if R.sub.3 is ##STR24## then the hydroxyl, amino, imidazolyl, mercaptan, or guanidinyl function should be protected during the coupling reaction. Suitable protecting groups include benzyloxycarbonyl, t-butoxycarbonyl, benzyl, benzhydryl, trityl, etc., and nitro in the case of guanidinyl. The protecting group is removed by hydrogenation, treatment with acid, or other known methods following completion of the reaction.
Similarly, if R.sub.2 is --(CH.sub.2).sub.s --NH.sub.2 in the above reactions then the amino group should be similarly protected, preferably by phthalidyl. This protecting group is removed by treatment with hydrazine following completion of the reaction.
As shown above, the proline portion of the molecule of the products of formula VI and I is in the L-configuration. Depending upon the definition of R.sub.3 and R.sub.7 other asymmetric centers may be present in the phosphonyl sidechain. The above described processes can utilize racemates, enantiomers or diastereomers as starting materials. When diastereomeric products are prepared, they can be separated by conventional chromatographic or fractional crystallization methods. As shown above, the asymmetric center in the sidechain of the orally active compounds of formula I is in the (S) configuration.
The final products of formula VI, including those of formula I, can be converted to the corresponding disalt compound by treating the diacid with a suitable salt forming reagent. Suitable disalt compounds include the pharmaceutically acceptable salts such as sodium, potassium, lithium, and calcium. Thus, the diacid product can be treated with lithium hydroxide, sodium hydroxide, potassium hydroxide, or calcium hydroxide to give the desired disalt product.
As set forth by Karanewsky, et al. in U.S. Pat. No. 4,452,790, the final products of formula VI including pharmaceutically acceptable salts thereof are useful as antihypertensive agents. The action of the enzyme renin on angiotensinogen, a pseudoglobulin in blood plasma, produces angiotensin I. Angiotensin I is converted by angiotensin converting enzyme (ACE) to angiotensin II. The latter is an active pressor substance which has been implicated as the causative agent in several forms of hypertension in various mammalian species, e.g., humans. The final products of formula VI intervene in the angiotensinogen.fwdarw.(renin).fwdarw.angiotensin I.fwdarw.angiotensin II sequence by inhibiting angiotensin converting enzyme and reducing or eliminating the formation of the pressor substance angiotensin II. Thus by the administration of a composition containing one (or a combination) of the final products of formula VI angiotensin dependent hypertension in a species of mammal (e.g., humans) suffering therefrom is alleviated.
In particular, it has been discovered that among the final products of formula VI those of formula I are especially useful as oral antihypertensive agents. The compounds of formula I have demonstrated a high level of bioavailability following oral administration to a test animal.
Accordingly, a single dose or two to four divided daily oral doses provided on a basis of from about 0.5 to about 10 mg. per kilogram of body weight per day of a compound of formula I is appropriate to reduce blood pressure.
The compounds of formula I can also be formulated with a diuretic for the treatment of hypertension. A combination products comprising a compound of formula I and a diuretic can be administered in an effective amount which comprises a totaly daily dosage of about 30 to 600 mg., preferably about 30 to 330 mg. of a compound of formula I, and about 15 to 300 mg. preferably about 15 to 200 of the diuretic, to a mammalian species in need thereof. Exemplary of the diuretics contemplated for use in combination with a compound of this invention are the thiazide diuretics, e.g., chlorothiazide, hydrochlorothiazide, flumethiazide, hydroflumethiazide, bendoflumethiazide, methylclothiazide, trichloromethiazide, polythiazide or benzthiazide as well as ethacrynic acid, tricrynafen, chlorothalidone, furosemide, musolimine, bumetanide, triamterene, amiloride and spironolactone and salts of such compounds.
The compounds of formula I can be formulated for use in the reduction of blood pressure in compositions such as tablets, capsules or elixirs for oral administration, or in sterile solutions or suspensions for parenteral administration. About 10 to 500 mg. of a compound of formula I is compounded with physiologically acceptable vehicle, carrier, excipient, binder, preservatives, stabilizer, flavor, etc., in a unit dosage form as called for by accepted pharmaceutical practice. The amount of active substance in these compositions or preparations is such that a suitable dosage in the range indicated is obtained.
Of course, the compounds of formula I can also be prepared according to the process in U.S. Pat. No. 4,452,790.

EXAMPLE 18
The compounds of formula I were tested in vivo in conscious, normotensive rats. Angiotensin I given intravenously increases blood pressure due to conversion to angiotensin II via the angiotensin converting enzyme (ACE). ACE inhibition was reflected by the attenuation of an angiotensin I pressor response after compound administration. The in vivo testing procedure is described in greater detail by Rubin et al., "SQ14,225 (D-3-Mercapto-2-Methylpropanoyl-L-Proline), A Novel Orally Active Inhibitor Of Angiotensin I Converting Enzyme", J. Pharm. Exp. Therap., Vol. 204, p 271-280 (1978).
The table shows the results obtained after administration of oral doses of the compounds of formula I. The doses were chosen so as to give equimolar amounts of the test compounds in order to eliminate differences due to differences in molecular weight. The inhibition of the angiotensin I pressor response is expressed as the percentage of the response to angiotensin I obtained before the test compound was administered, and was measured at regular intervals during a three-hour period following the administration of the test compound. The maximum percentage inhibition observed during this period is given in the table as a number from 0 to 100 percent. All results are the mean values obtained for testing of each compound in at least four rats. For compounds tested at more than one dose, it can be observed that increased amounts of compound administered lead to increased levels of inhibition.
