Pharmaceutical composition and method for treating cardiovascular diseases using substituted anilides and sulfonamides

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION
Myocardial ischemia is the reduction of blood flow to cardiac tissue which can result in cell death (infarction) and dysrhythmic conditions, e.g. ventricular arrhythmia and ventricular fibrillation.
Certain calcium channel blockers and thromboxane receptor antagonists have been identified as anti-ischemic agents by their ability to reduce infarct size. Many calcium antagonists also possess cardiodepressant activity, i.e. they reduce contractile function. This is of importance since cardiodepression in patients with coronary insufficiency may further compromise hearts possessing low functional reserve. Accordingly, certain calcium channel blockers are contraindicated in patients with poor myocardial function.
In an effort to optimize treatment for patients with ischemic heart disease, anti-ischemic agents can be evaluated in terms of an ischemic selectivity which can be viewed as a ratio of cardioprotection to cardiodepression. Anti-ischemic agents which provide a satisfactory level of cardioprotection with minimal cardiodepression would be a useful addition to the art.
SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION

This method comprises administering, to a patient in need thereof, an effective amount of a compound having the formula ##STR2## and to acid addition salts thereof, wherein
R and R.sub.1 each independently represent hydrogen, halo, lower alkyl, lower alkoxy, trihalomethyl, nitro, amino or hydroxy;
X represents oxa (--O--) or thia (--S--);
B represents a basic nitrogen-containing radical of less than 12 carbon atoms;

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION
The compounds of formula I have been found to be a selective class of anti-ischemic agents which, advantageously, also possess anti-arrhythmic activity. Thus, the method of the present invention can be for treating ischemia and arrhythmia separately or together. The compounds of formula I possess both calcium channel blocking and sodium blocking activities. By virtue of this calcium channel blocking activity, the compounds of formula I may be employed in the various indications for which calcium channel blockers are known to be useful, such as for angina and other cardiovascular diseases. (See for example, R. A. Janis et al., Advances in Drug Research, Vol. 16, p. 379-386 (1987) which is incorporated herein by reference.) Unexpectedly, in assessing the cardiodepressant and cardioprotective qualities of the compounds of formula I, it has been found that this class of compounds is significantly more cardioprotective than cardiodepressant. That is, the present method is able to provide a significant reduction in infarct size and arrhythmia while depressing cardiac function only minimally when compared to the calcium channel blocker, diltiazem.
The term lower alkyl as used herein refers to straight and branched chain saturated aliphatic groups containing up to 10 carbon atoms, such as methyl, ethyl, propyl, isopropyl, butyl, iosbutyl, t-butyl, amyl, isoamyl, hexyl and the like. Methyl and ethyl are preferred. The lower alkoxy groups contain alkyl groups of the same character attached to the oxygen atoms.
The term "aryl" refers to phenyl and substituted phenyl. Exemplary substituted phenyl groups are phenyl groups substituted with 1, 2 or amino (--NH.sub.2), alkylamino, dialkylamino, nitro, halogen, hydroxyl, trifluoromethyl, alkyl (of 1 to carbon atoms), alkoxy (of 1 to 4 carbon atoms), alkylthio (of 1 to 4 carbon atoms), alkanoyloxy, carbonyl or carboxyl groups.
The term "heteroaryl" refers to an aromatic heterocyclic group having at least one heteroatom in the ring. Preferred groups are pyridinyl, pyrrolyl, imidazolyl, furyl, thienyl, oxazolyl or thiazolyl.
The term "cycloalkyl" refers to groups having 3, 4, 5, 6 or 7 carbon atoms.
Each of the four halogens is contemplated by the terms "halo" and "trihalomethyl," but in the case of the halogens themselves chlorine and bromine are preferred while trifluoromethyl is the preferred trihalomethyl group.
Exemplary --Y--R.sub.2 groups include lower alkanoyl (e.g., acetyl, propionyl, butyryl and the like), cycloalkyl-loweralkanoyl (e.g., cyclohexylacetyl), lower alkenoyl (e.g., 2-butenoyl, 2-pentenoyl), lower alkadienoyl (e.g., sorboyl), aralkanoyl (e.g., phenyl-lower alkanoyl such as phenacetyl), .alpha.-substituted phenylacetyl (e.g., .alpha.-acetoxyphenyl acetyl), aralkenoyl (e.g., phenyl-lower alkenoyl such as cinnamoyl), aralkynoyl (e.g., phenyl-lower alkynoyl such as phenyl propioloyl), aroyl (e.g., benzoyl and R-benzoyl, such as p-chlorobenzoyl, trimethoxybenzoyl and the like), heteroaroyl (e.g., pyridoyl), lower alkane sulfonyl (e.g., methanesulfonyl), aralkyl sulfonyl (e.g., benzyl sulfonyl) and aryl sulfonyl (e.g., benzenesulfonyl).
The basic nitrogen containing radicals symbolized by B include the following radicals ##STR4## wherein R.sub.3 and R.sub.4 independently represent hydrogen, lower alkyl, hydroxy-lower alkyl, R substituted-phenyl-lower alkyl, R substituted cinnamyl (e.g, p-methoxy cinnamyl), 2- or 4-pyridylalkyl, and N-(lower alkyl)phenyl-(lower alkyl) forming such basic groups as amino, lower alkylamino, e.g., methylamino, ethylamino, di(lower alkyl)amino, e.g., dimethylamino, diethylamino, dipropylamino, (hydroxy-lower alkyl)amino, e.g., hydroxy-ethylamino, (di(hydroxy-lower alkyl)-amino, e.g., di(hydroxyethyl)amino, phenyl(lower alkyl) amino, e.g.,benzylamino, phenethylamino and the like.
In addition the nitrogen may join with the groups represented by R.sub.3 and R.sub.4 to form a 5 to 7 membered monocyclic heterocyclic containing, if desired, an oxygen or an additional nitrogen atom, (no more than two hetero atoms altogether). The heterocyclic group may also be substituted by one to three of the following: lower alkyl, lower alkoxy, hydroxy-lower alkyl, lower alkanoyloxylower alkyl.
Thus, heterocyclic groups represented by B include, for example, piperidino, (lower alkyl)piperidino, e.g., 2-methylpiperidino, (lower alkoxy)piperidino, e.g., 4-methoxypiperidino, pyrrolidino, (lower alkyl)pyrrolidino, e.g., 2-methylpyrrolidino, 3-methylpyrrolidino, di(lower alkyl)pyrrolidino, e.g., dimethylpyrrolidino, morpholino, piperazino, (lower alkyl)piperazino, e.g., N.sup.4 -methylpiperazino, 2-methylpiperazino or 3-methylpiperazino, di(lower alkyl)piperazino, e.g., 2,3-dimethylpiperazino, hydroxy-lower alkylpiperazino, e.g., 4-hydroxyethylpiperazino, (lower alkoxy)piperazino, e.g., 2-ethoxypiperazino, (lower alkanoyloxy)-lower alkylpiperazino, e.g., 4-(2-acetoxyethylpiperazino), hexamethyleneimino and homopiperazino.
The bases of Formula I form acid addition salts by reaction with the common inorganic and organic acids.

Alternatively, compounds of formula V can be reacted with compounds of formula IV and thereafter acylated to provide the compounds of the present invention.
Compounds of formula V can, in turn, be prepared by either reacting a nitrophenol or nitrothiophenol of the formula ##STR10## with a compound of the formula ##STR11## and thereafter reducing the nitro group by standard techniques, e.g., treating with stannous chloride or, for compounds where X is --S--, the reaction may be carried out by substituting the corresponding amino compound of formula VI for the nitro compound in which case the reduction step is omitted.
Compounds of the present invention where n is 4 or 5 can be prepared by reacting a compound of the formula ##STR12## with a compound of the formula ##STR13## to provide compounds of formula I.

Arrhythmias contemplated for treatment by the present method will include, but are not limited to, ventricular arrhythmias arising from various pathologies of the heart such as myocardial infarction, myocardial ischemia, coronary vasospasm, angina at rest, stress induced angina with or without S-T segment elevation, valvular prolapse, and/or reperfusion arrhythmias arising from translumenal angioplasty or coronary bypass and graft, or a clot dissolution with streptokinase, TPA or other suitable therapeutic means for restoring or improving blood flow to the ischemic myocardium. These agents will also be used in the treatment of atrial arrhythmias against which class I agents are known to be effective.
In the present method for treatment of myocardial ischemia and/or arrhythmia, the compounds of formula I may also be used in combination with other agents used in the clinical management of ischemic heart disease and/or heart failure. These agents may include various angiotensin converting enzyme (ACE) inhibitors such as captopril, fosinopril, zofenopril, and enalopril; calcium-entry blockers such as diltiazem, nifedipine or verapamil; nitro vasodilators such as nitroglycerin, isosorbide and nicorandil; beta adrenoceptor blocking agents such as nadolol, propranolol, sotolol and metoprolol; cardiac glycosides such as digitalis; and thromboxane A.sub.2 receptor antagonists.
The compounds of formula I can be formulated for use in the present methods in compositions such as tablets, capsules or elixirs for oral administration, or in sterile solutions or suspensions for parenteral administration. The compounds of formula I may also be administered via transdermal patch or nasal inhalation solutions. About 10 to 500 milligrams of a compound of formula I is compounded with physiologically acceptable vehicle, carrier, excipient, binder, preservative, 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.
Grover et al., "Dissociation of Cardiodepression from Cardioprotection with Calcium Antagonists: Diltiazem Protects Ischemic Rat Myocardium with a Lower Functional Cost as Compared with Verapamil and Nifedipine", Journal of Cardiovascular Pharmacology; pages 331-340, Vol. 14, No. 2 (1989), have developed a methodology for assessing the efficacy of calcium channel blockers in ischemia- Grover et al. express the efficacy of anti-ischemic agents as the ratio of lactate dehydrogenase (LDH) release versus preischemic, post-drug cardiac function. Lactate dehydrogenase is an enzyme released in the heart during an ischemic event and is an index of cardiac cell necrosis. In the Grover et al. model, this is measured during reperfusion and an agent which provides for lower release levels of LDH is considered to offer greater cardioprotection since lower LDH indicates a smaller infarct size. Cardiac function is determined using the double product (DP) of heart rate times the left ventricular developed pressure (LVDP) divided by 1,000.
The lower the value for DP before ischemia for a given agent, the more cardiodepressant it is considered to be. A ratio of LDH release (or cardioprotection) to preischemia cardiac function (DP) is indicative of the ischemic selectivity of the compound, the lower ratios corresponding to the more desirable anti-ischemic agents.
We have examined cardioprotection and cardiodepression for diltiazem, nifedipine and verapamil and determined that diltiazem had the greatest ischemic selectivity. In the following Example, compounds of formula I and diltiazem were evaluated using the techniques described therein.

A stirred solution of 16.7 g (0.050 mol) of the title A compound in 250 ml of toluene was treated first with 2.5 g (0.052 mol) of 50% sodium hydride, then with 30 ml (0.064 mole) of a 2.15N toluene solution of 3-dimethylaminopropyl chloride, as described in part C of Example 2 above, to give 18.4 g of a yellow oil. The base (18.1 g) in 60 ml of isopropyl alcohol was treated with a warm solution of 3.9 g of oxalic acid in 30 ml of isopropyl alcohol; the oxalate salt separated as a gum which readily crystallized on seeding, rubbing, and warming to form a voluminous precipitate. After cooling overnight, the solid was filtered, washed with isopropyl alcohol and with ether, and dried in vacuo (19.8 g), m.p. 159.degree.-162.degree. (bubbles); s, 154.degree..

The latter was dissolved in 75 ml of isopropyl alcohol, treated with 4.7 ml of 5.3N ethanolic hydrochloric acid and 1 ml of water, and diluted with 750 ml of ether. The hydrogen chloride salt separated as a gum which slowly crystallized on seeding and rubbing. Crystallization was expedited by adding approximately 2 ml more water and stirring in an ice-bath for 1 hour.

EXAMPLE 33
Preparation of the Isolated Perfused Hearts
Male Sprague-Dawley rats (450-550 g) were used in all experiments. The rats were anesthetized using 30 mg/kg sodium pentobarbital (i.p.). They were intubated and then treated with i.v. heparin (1000 U/kg). While being mechanically ventilated, their hearts were perfused in situ via retrograde cannulation of the aorta. The hearts were then excised and quickly moved to a Langendorff apparatus where they were perfused with Krebs-Henseleit bicarbonate buffer (112 mM NaCl, 5 mM KCl, 1.2 mMMg SO.sub.4, 1 mM KH.sub.2 PO.sub.4, 1.25 mM CaCl.sub.2, 11.5 mM dextrose, and 2 mM pyruvate) at a constant pressure (75 mm Hg). A water filled latex balloon attached to a metal cannula was then inserted into the left ventricle and connected to a Statham pressure transducer for measurement of left ventricular pressure. The hearts were allowed to equilibrate for 15 minutes at which time end diastolic pressure (EDP) was adjusted to 5 mm Hg and this was maintained for 5 minutes. Pre-ischemia or pre-drug function, heart rate and coronary blood flow (extracorporeal electromagnetic flow probe, Carolina Medical Electronics, King, N.C.) were then measured. Cardiac function was determined using the double product of heart rate (HR) times left ventricular developed pressure (LVDP) divided by 1,000.
Once the baseline measurements were taken, the hearts were treated with 1.0 .mu.M of one of compounds 1-9 or diltiazem (n=4-6 per group) or with vehicle buffer (n=6). All of these hearts were treated with their respective drugs or vehicle for ten minutes. At this time, post-drug cardiac function and flow were measured and then the hearts were made globally ischemic by shutting off the buffer perfusion. The ischemia was maintained for 25 minutes at which time reperfusion with nondrug treated buffer was instituted. Reperfusion was maintained for 30 minutes and at this time reperfusion function and flow were again determined.
Determination of LDH Release
At the end of the reperfusion period, the reperfusion buffer was sampled for cumulative LDH release as previously described. LDH release was expressed as U/g preischemia heart weight for the 30 minute collection period. LDH release is a sensitive index for loss of cell viability. Determination of the relationship between pre-ischemic, post-drug cardiac function was made by dividing the double product (HR .times.LVDP/1000) by the cumulative LDH release.
All data were analyzed using a one way analysis of variance. Multiple comparisons were done using the Duncan procedure. All data are expressed as the mean.+-.SE. Cardiac functional and flow changes for vehicle and drug treated hearts before and after ischemia are shown in Table 1.
The pre-ischemia DP values are a measure of the cardiodepression of the drug on the healthy cardiac tissue. The drugs having the lower DP values are more cardiodepressant than those having the higher DP values. Each of compounds 1-9 were found to be less cardiodepressant than diltiazem by this test.
The post-ischemia LDH values are a measure of the cardioprotection or anti-ischemic activity of the drug. In this case, lower values indicate greater anti-ischemic activity or greater cardioprotection. Compounds 1, 2 and 9 were found to be comparable to diltiazem in cardioprotection and compounds 3 and 6-8 offered more cardioprotection than diltiazem.
The LDH/DP values are the ratio of cardioprotection to cardiodepression, the lower values indicating a greater selectivity for anti-ischemic activity. All of compounds 1-9 had a greater selectivity of anti-ischemic activity compared to diltiazem.
The post-ischemia DP indicates cardiodepression after the ischemic episode and the lower DP values here are indicative of agents which still remained in the cardiac tissue for more than 30 minutes post ischemia. ##STR16##

EXAMPLE 34
The calcium channel blocking and sodium entry blocking activities of compounds of the present invention were tested using standard microelectrode techniques in isolated canine cardiac Purkinje fibers as reported in J. L. Bergey et al., "Antiarrhythmic, hemodynamic, and cardiac electrophysiological evaluation of N-(2,6-dimethylphenyl)-N'-[3-(1-methylethylamino)propyl]-urea), (Wy 42,362)", Arzneim -Forsch, 33:1258, 1983). Table 2 shows the effects of compounds of the present invention on the calcium-dependent slow response action potential (SAPA). Depression of this parameter indicates depression of calcium entry into cardiac tissue. Similarly, Table 3 shows effects of the compounds on normal action potential parameters. Significant depression of the upstroke velocity (vmax) indicates the blocking of sodium entry into cardiac tissue.

EXAMPLE 35
Antiarrhythmic activity was confirmed for the compound of Example 1 using a standard canine arrhythmia model as reported in J. L. Bergey et al., "Antiarrhythmic, hemodynamic, and cardiac electrophysiological evaluation of N-(2,6-dimethylphenyl)-N'-[3-(1-methylethylamino)propyl]urea), (Wy 42,362)", Arzneim -Forsch, 33:1258, 1983). In dogs suffering from 24 hour post-infarction arrhythmias the compound of Example 1 reversed arrhythmias in 5 out of 5 dogs tested following intravenous doses ranging from 6 to 15 mg/kg.
