This invention relates to new thiazoloisoquinolines of the formula (I), ##SPC6##
wherein the symbols have the meanings defined above. This invention relates further to pharmaceutical products containing as active ingredient these new compounds, as well as to a process for the preparation of such active ingredients.
The compounds of the general formula can be prepared according to the invention by reacting a compound of the formula (II) ##SPC7##
wherein the symbols have the meanings defined above, or a salt thereof with a reactive carbonic acid derivative, provided that at least one of the reactants contains a sulfur atom, and/or by oxidizing an isoquinoline derivative of the formula (III) ##SPC8##
wherein the symbols have the meanings defined above, and/or by converting substituents A', R.sup.5, R.sup.6 and R.sup.7 of the obtained thiazoloisoquinolines of the formula (IA) ##SPC9##
into those required in the end-products. If desired, the obtained thiazoloisoquinolines are converted into their salts, or the compounds of the general formula (I) are liberated from the corresponding salts.
The compounds of the general formula (I) can be used primarily as pharmaceuticals or intermediates in the production of pharmaceutically active substances. Certain members of this group exert a very favorable action on the heart musculature, pulmonary circulation and on the oxygen consumption of the heart musculature. The toxicity of these compounds is low. Accordingly, certain representatives of the compounds having the formula (I) can be used in practice as heart medicines. The other members of this group are respiratory analeptics.
As shown by formulae (II), (IV), (VI), (VII) and (VIII), ##SPC10##
all compounds of these groups may exist in at least two tautomeric forms. The scope of the invention extends to all of these tautomers and tautomeric mixtures.
The carbonic acid-type reagent is chosen according to the substituent of the side chain attached to position 1 of the isoquinoline having the formula (II), and according to the substituent required in position 3 of the condensed ring system of the intermediate having the formula (IA). Thus, e.g. rhodanides, halocyanides, mono-thiocarbonic acid esters, thioureas, xanthates, cyanamides, acylisothiocyanates, carbon disulfide, etc. can be used as carbonic acid-type reagent. If desired, these reagents can be formed directly in the reaction medium from the appropriate precursors.
According to one method of the invention an isoquinoline of the formula (IV), i.e. a compound containing a halogen-substituted side chain in position 1, is used as the starting substance. This compound can be reacted with carbonic acid derivatives in various ways, to yield the compounds of the general formula (IA) either directly or via one or more other intermediates.
Condensed 1,3-thiazoloisoquinolines can be prepared directly from the compounds of the general formula (IV) by reacting them with sulfur-containing carbonic acid derivatives capable of S-anion formation. These carbonic acid derivatives are reacted preferably in the form of their alkali metal, alkaline earth metal or ammonium salts. As carbonic acid derivatives, e.g. rhodanides, xanthates, salts of monothiocarbonic acid hemiesters, etc. can be used.
The reaction is carried out preferably in an alcohol or in another protic solvent, such as in a formamide. As solvents, however, dipolar aprotic substances, e.g. dimethylformamide, dimethylsulfoxide, or hexamethylphosphoric acid triamide can also be used.
The reaction temperature is adjusted in accordance with the solvent used. If a solvent with a boiling point lower than 100.degree.C is used as the reaction medium, the reaction is carried out at the boiling point of the system whereas, when solvents of higher boiling points are used, the reaction temperature is between 80.degree. and 120.degree.C.
The products can be separated in crystalline form from the solvent, using optionally another solvent as precipitant.
As starting substances of the formula (IV) the ones containing a bromine substituent in the side chain are utilized preferably. These compounds can be prepared easily by the bromination of the appropriately substituted 1-methylene-1,2,3,4-tetrahydroisoquinolines. According to a preferred method of the invention the obtained isoquinoline derivative containing a halogen-substituted side chain is reacted further directly in the medium where it has been prepared, i.e. without isolation.
When reacting isoquinolines of the formula (IV) with other sulfur-containing carbonic acid derivatives, sulfur-containing isoquinoline intermediates of the formulae (III) or (VI) are obtained in one or more steps.
Thus, the salts of the mercapto-isoquinolines of the formula (VI) can be prepared by reacting an isoquinoline of the formula (IV) with thiourea, and decomposing the obtained isothiuronium salt with an alkali. The obtained mercaptides represent a subgroup of the starting substances having the formula (II), offering subsequent reactions described below.
When reacting the compounds of the formula (IV) with sodium thiosulfate, again isoquinolines of the general formula (VI) are obtained via the appropriate Bunte's salts.
The reaction of the isoquinolines of the general formula (VI), containing a mercapto group in the side chain, with a halocyanide, phosgene, thiophosgene, chloroformate or chlorothioformate yields directly the appropriately substituted 1,3-thiazoloisoquinolines.
The conditions of these reactions depend on the reactants utilized. The reactants are generally given to the aqueous solution of the appropriate alkali metal salt of the thiolate. If the hydrolyzability of the reactant does not permit carrying out the reaction in an alkaline medium, the reaction is carried out in a well stirred two-phase system. As water-immiscible solvents, preferably hydrocarbons or chlorinated organic solvents are used. In other cases dipolar aprotic solvents, e.g. dimethylformamide can be used to advantage. The reactions are in general carried out at low temperatures.
Similarly, the end-products can be obtained via intermediates by reacting the compounds of the general formula (IV), in the form of the corresponding Grignard-reagents, with carbon disulfide. The Grignard-reagent can be prepared in ether-type solvents, such as in diethyl ether, dioxane or tetrahydrofuran.
According to a further method of the invention isoquinolines of the general formula (VII), constituting a subgroup of the compounds having the general formula (II), are used as starting substances. These compounds can be reacted with sulfur-containing carbonic acid derivatives to yield the sulfur-containing isoquinolines, optionally via one or more intermediates.
Thus, for instance, the compounds of the general formula (VII) can be reacted with acylisothiocyanates to yield the corresponding isoquinolines containing an N-acylimino substituent in the side chain. The acyl group of these substances can be split off, if desired. These acylated or deacylated intermediates can be used for the preparation of 1,2-thiazoloisoquinolines containing an imino or =N-acyl substituent in position 2 of the condensed ring system. In this latter case the acyl substituent attached to the nitrogen atom may be benzoyl, alkylsulfonyl or arylsulfonyl group.
The reaction with acylisothiocyanates is carried out preferably in acetone, chlorinated solvents, ketones, lower nitriles, ethers, etc.
According to a still further method of the invention the isoquinolines of the general formula VIII (R.sup.3 = cyano or nitrile), containing a cyanomethylene side chain and constituting a subgroup of the compounds having the general formula (VII), are reacted with hydrogen sulfide to yield the thiocarbamoyl-substituted intermediates of the general formula (IX). ##SPC11##
These latter compounds can be oxidized to yield the corresponding 1,2-thiazoloisoquinolines. The reaction with hydrogen sulfide is carried out preferably by introducing hydrogen sulfide gas into the system at 0.degree. to 50.degree.C, in the presence of a basic substance, e.g. triethylamine, piperidine or, preferably, pyridine. The addition of hydrogen sulfide can be speeded up by the use of higher temperature in closed vessel.
By reacting the compounds of the general formula (VII) with ethyl magnesium bromide, a trans-Grignard reaction can also be carried out. During this reaction ethane is evolved, which is removed from the system by heating. The reaction is carried out preferably in toluene, in the presence of a small amount of ether. The reaction of the obtained reagent with carbon disulfide also leads to the intermediates of the formula (III), containing a dithiocarboxy substituent in the side chain.
The compounds of the formula (VII) that contain a carbonylchloride substituent in the side chain can be converted into the isoquinolines of the general formula (X) in a reaction with sodium hydrosulfide. ##SPC12##
The compounds of the formula (X), containing a thiocarboxy substituent in the side chain, constitute a subgroup of the compounds having the formula (III).
The isoquinolines of the formula (III) can be oxidized into the 1,2-thiazoloisoquinoline end-products.
The oxidation can be carried out preferably with a halogen in the presence of an acid binding agent. Thus, for example, the reaction can be carried out with iodine or bromine in the presence of pyridine, quinoline, picoline, lutidine, etc. The reaction is in general conducted at a temperature of about 50.degree.C.
It will be obvious to one skilled in the art that the carbonic acid derivatives used as reactants are selected generally in accordance with the desired substituents of the 1,2- or 1,3-thiazoloisoquinoline end-products.
Thus, for example, a compound containing an imino group in position 3 of the condensed ring system can be obtained in a reaction with a rhodanide or halocyanide. O-Alkylmonothiocarbonate salts as reactants lead to the oxygen-substituted products, whereas alkyl xanthates to the corresponding sulfur-substituted compounds.
Once the thiazoloisoquinoline ring system is built up, the substituent groups introduced during ring closure can be converted into other groups, and thus the compounds of the formula (IA) can be converted into the compounds of the formula (I).
Thus, for example, the hydroxy groups attached to positions 8 and 9, respectively, can be alkylated or aralkylated, or the alkoxy or aralkoxy groups can be converted into hydroxy substituents. The ether bond can be split by hydrogen halides, pyridine hydrochloride, etc. Alkoxy- and aralkoxy groups can be formed by reacting the hydroxy compounds with appropriate alkyl or aralkyl halides or sulfates in the presence of an acid binding agent. The ether bond of the benzyloxy derivatives can also be split by catalytic hydrogenation. In the alkoxy or aralkoxy groups the alkyl chain may contain preferably 1 to 4 carbon atoms, and the most preferred aralkyl group is benzyl.
The thiazoloisoquinolines containing a side-chain in position 1 to which a group derived from a carbonic acid is attached can be converted into the corresponding compounds containing a carboxy substituent in the side chain.
The nitrile group in position 1 of the ring system can be converted into an acid amide or carboxy group by treatment with an acid. In this reaction preferably sulfuric acid is applied. The nitrile group in position 1 can also be converted into carboxy group by treatment with a base. Alternately, the nitrile group can be converted into a carbalkoxy group by acid-catalyzed alcoholysis. In turn, the acid amide group can be dehydrated with phosphorous pentoxide, phosphorous oxychloride or thionyl chloride to yield the corresponding nitrile-substituted compounds. The nitrile group can also be converted into an acid amide group by treatment with a concentrated acid (e.g. sulfuric or polyphosphoric acid) or with an alkaline hydrogen peroxide solution.
The compounds that contain a carboxy group in position 1 of the condensed ring system can be esterified with alcohols in proton-catalyzed reactions. Alternately, these compounds can be decarboxylated by heating.
The compounds wherein the side chain attached to position 1 of the ring system contains a methyl group can be converted into the corresponding carboxy substituted compounds by oxidation with potassium permanganate. The imino groups attached to position 2 or 3, respectively, of the condensed ring system can be alkylated with known alkylating agents, preferably after salt-formation with a strong base. For this purpose e.g. sodium alcoholates, sodium amide or sodium hydride can be used. N-acylation can be carried out in pyridine medium with various acylating agents, e.g. carboxylic chlorides, aryl or acylsulfonic acid chlorides, etc. The acyl group of the N-acylimino groups attached to position 2 or 3, respectively, of the condensed ring system can be removed by acid hydrolysis.
The condensed-ring compounds containing an imino group can be reacted with amine salts to yield the corresponding N-substituted derivatives. This reaction is carried out preferably in dimethylformamide, at the boiling point of the solvent.
The basic compounds of the general formula (I) can be converted into their salts by reacting them with mineral or organic acids, e.g. sulfuric, hydrochloric, phosphoric, nitric, acetic, rhodanic, propionic, lactic, malic, citric, succinic, maleic, fumaric, ethanedisulfonic, benzoic, salicylic, aspartic, etc. acids. Using polybasic acids, acidic salts can be formed as well.
The compounds of the general formula (I) can be converted into pharmaceutical products, e.g. tablets, coated tablets, suppositories, capsules, solutions, powders, injectable preparations, etc. These compositions may contain the active agents as such, or in admixture with carriers, diluents and/or other additives.
In order to demonstrate the biological activity of the compounds according to the invention, the pharmacological data of 1-cyano-3-imino-3,4,5,6-tetrahydro-8,9-dimethoxy-1,3-thiazolo[4,3-a]isoquinoline (referred to hereinafter as compound "A") are listed below.
Compound A, administered in a dosage of 200 .gamma./kg. increases the contractility of the heart musculature by 24% for 71 minutes, whereas when administering Carbochromen, (3-[.beta.-2-diethylaminoethyl]-4-methyl-7-[carbethoxymethoxy]-2-oxo-1,2-chromen) in a dosage of 2 mg./kg., the same effect lasts only for 55 minutes.
Compound A, administered in a dosage of 100 .gamma./kg. into narcotized dogs, increases the cardiac output by 30%, and this effect lasts for 1.5 hours. In contrast, Carbochromen, administered in a dosage of 2 mg./kg., causes an increase of 25% and the effect lasts for 50 minutes.
Compound A, administered in a dosage of 200 .gamma./kg., decreases the total peripheral resistance by 37% for 1.75 hours, whereas a 4 mg./kg. dosage of Carbochromen causes a decrease of 33% only for one hour.
Compound A, administered in a dosage of 100 .gamma./kg., decreases the pulmonary circulation resistance by 25% for one hour. A similar effect cannot be attained with the known agents.
Compound A, administered in a dosage of 200 .gamma./kg., increases the coronary flow by 30% for 1.5 hours. In contrast, the known coronary dilatants produce this effect in much higher dosages and for much shorter periods (10 to 60 minutes).
Compounds A, administered in a dosage of 200 .gamma./kg. into narcotized dogs, decreases the oxygen consumption of the left ventricle by 20%, and this effect lasts for 1 hour. In contrast, Carbochromen does not exert such a prolonged effect even in a tenfold dosage.
On this basis, compound A, administered in a dosage of 200 .gamma./kg., increases the heart efficiency by 42%.
From the therapeutical indices, compound A appears to be 13.6 times more active than Carbochromen with respect to coronary flow, and 44 times more active with respect to the coronary resistance. Compound A increases significantly the flow and decreases the resistance for both the femoral and the carotid vessels.
The fact that the above presented increase in total coronary flow after Compound A is also reflected by a corresponding increase in the nutritional circulation of the myocardium as estimated by the H.sub.2 -washout method. The results show that the lasting effect of the drug on the coronary flow is a useful action providing for a better oxygen supply of the myocardial fibres and is not due to some shunting mechanism.
It can be also seen that after coronary occlusion the drug may temporarily improve the blood supply to the ischemic area, whereas in the non-infarcted area in the first 15 minutes after treatment, the drug induced increase is even somewhat higher than in the same area without occlusion.
Usefulness of Compound A as a potential antianginal drug is demonstrated by further experiments according to which it could significantly reduce the ischemic ST-segment elevation in the specific, effort type antianginal test, consisting of a combination of coronary constriction and cardiac overload induced by pacing. Similar effectiveness could be shown against pituitrin-induced T wave elevation in rats.
The drug exerts its effect also when administered by intraduodenal route. 5 mg./kg. i.d. dosage evoked a marked increase in myocardial nutritional circulation, reaching values up to 30% and lasting for more than 3 hours. However the drug was active already in oral doses as low as 1 and 2 mg./kg. shown by the inhibition of the pituitrin induced elevation of the T wave in rats.

The invention is elucidated in detail by the aid of the following non-limiting Examples.
