Pharmacologically active substituted benzamides

SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION
This invention relates to novel substituted benzamides of the formula ##STR2## wherein R.sup.1, R.sup.2, R.sup.3, R.sup.4, R.sup.5 and A are as defined below, which are useful in the treatment of emesis, particularly chemotherapy-induced emesis, such as cisplatin treatment of cancer patients, and/or in treatment of disorders related to impaired gastric motility, such as retarded gastric emptying, dyspepsia, flatulence, esophageal reflux and the like.
BACKGROUND AND PRIOR ART
Emesis is a common and serious problem in patients receiving cancer chemotherapeutic agents. In a significant number of patients, nausea and vomiting is so severe that they discontinue their course of chemotherapeutic treatment prior to its completion. Although no known antiemetic agent is totally effective in alleviating the emesis associated with chemotherapy, there are a large number of compounds (many based on the substituted benzamide structure) which have good antiemetic activity.
Although the complete mechanism of action of antiemetic agents is not known, the effective antiemetic agents are generally dopaminergic antagonists. Indeed, screening for potential antiemetic agents typically is conducted via tests designed to determine dopaminergic blockage, e.g. spiperone binding tests in vitro and apomorphine emesis tests in dogs. As a result of their dopaminergic antagonism and/or central nervous system depression, known antiemetic agents have undesirable side effects such as sedation, dystonic reactions, diarrhea and akathisia.
We have surprisingly found a group of substituted benzamide antiemetic agents with a high specificity of action, which are not dopaminergic antagonists and which are free of the undesirable side effects of the presently known antiemetic agents.
An excellent, modern review article on the variously substituted benzamides and their pharmacological activities is found in "Chemical Regulation of Biological Mechanisms", A. M. Creighton and S. Turner, editors, Royal Society of London (1982), in the chapter entitled "Substituted Benzamides as Dopamine Antagonists", by M. S. Hadley (Pages 140-153). It states that this class of compounds is defined by the formulae ##STR3## in which the aryl ring is most commonly the phenyl ring and where "a methoxy group ortho to the benzamide moiety is almost invariably present." It points out that the diverse actions of the substituted benzamides can be considered as being a consequence of the compounds being dopamine antagonists.

Also included within the scope of this invention are all possible optical and geometric isomers of the compounds of Formula I, and tautomeric forms thereof, where applicable. In another aspect, this invention relates to processes for the preparation of the compounds of Formula I and to antiemetic and/or gastrokinetic compositions containing at least one compound of Formula I as an active ingredient.
The compounds of Formula I may be prepared via several procedures. In the preferred process, shown in Reaction Scheme 1, below, a compound of Formula II is reacted with a compound of Formula R.sup.2 -L (where L is a conventional leaving group) in the presence of a base as an acid scavenger, to produce the compound of Formula I. ##STR27## Suitable leaving groups L are well-known to those skilled in the art and include, for example, chloro, bromo, iodo, methane-sulfonyl, toluenesulfonyl and the like. The base may be a mild one such as K.sub.2 CO.sub.3, Na.sub.2 CO.sub.3, MgSO.sub.4 or a quaternary ammonium hydroxide such as tetrabutylammonium hydroxide or benzyltriethylammonium hydroxide, or a mixture thereof. The reaction is conducted in an inert organic solvent such as acetone, acetonitrile, methylene chloride, dimethylformamide, dimethylacetamide, methanol, ethanol, isopropanol, diglyme, or the like. It is also possible to utilize sodium hydride or potassium hydride as the base, in an anhydrous, non-protonic organic solvent, or to use a strong base such as NaOH or KOH as a highly concentrated solution in a phase transfer solvent system such as CH.sub.2 Cl.sub.2 /H.sub.2 O with the addition of a quaternary ammonium halide, sulfate or hydroxide as a phase transfer catalyst, e.g. tetrabutylammonium chloride, cetyltrimethylammonium bromide, benzyltriethylammonium chloride, or the like.
It will be apparent to those skilled in the art that Reaction Scheme 1 also may be varied to the extent that substituent groups R.sup.3, R.sup.4 and/or R.sup.5 may be inserted into the compound of Formula I (or converted from a precursor group) as the final step, rather than being present in the compound of Formula II. Thus, for example, Compound I, where R.sup.5 is hydrogen, may be chlorinated to produce Compound I in which R.sup.5 is chloro. Similarly, R.sup.4 of Compound I may be, for example, --NO.sub.2, --NHCOR or --N.dbd.CHN(R).sub.2 where R may be (lower)alkyl. The --NO.sub.2 group may then be reduced to an amino group, or the --NHCOR or --N.dbd.CHN(R).sub.2 groups may be hydrolyzed to an amino group.
We prefer to use an organic solvent-soluble tetrasubstituted ammonium salt as illustrated below for one of the preferred compounds of Formula I. ##STR28## In the first step, Compound IIa is dissolved in aqueous sodium hydroxide and treated with one equivalent of tetrabutylammonium bromide. The quaternary ammonium salt IIIa precipitates from solution and is collected by filtration. It is then reacted with the desired alkylating agent in an inert organic solvent such as dimethyl- formamide, dimethylacetamide, acetonitrile, tetrahydrofuran, CHCl.sub.3, dimethylsulfoxide or diglyme, to produce the desired product Ia.
The intermediate of Formula IIa may be prepared, for example, from demethylation of commercially available metoclopramide, having the formula ##STR29## Metoclopramide may be demethylated by methods well-known to those skilled in the art. Suitable procedures involve reaction with a thioalkoxide or thioaryloxide such as NaSC.sub.2 H.sub.5, KSC.sub.2 H.sub.5, LiSC.sub.2 H.sub.5 or ##STR30## in an inert organic solvent such as dimethylformamide or dimethylsulfoxide, or by reaction with NaOH or KOH in a solvent such as ethylene glycol, propylene glycol or diglyme, or by reaction with 48% aqueous hydrobromic acid. We prefer to demethylate using NaSC.sub.2 H.sub.5 in dimethylformamide.
It will be appreciated that certain 2-substituents may be difficult to insert directly into Compound IIa without elaborate protecting and deprotecting schemes. On the other hand, the initially inserted 2-substituent may be subsequently modified. Using Compound Ib, another preferred compound of this invention, as an example, various conversions are shown below ##STR31##
In an alternative procedure for the preparation of the compounds of Formula I, a compound of Formula IV having the desired 2-substituent is reacted so as to introduce the desired substituted carboxamido group in the 1-position. As shown in Reaction Schemes 2a through 2h, there are several variants of this reaction procedure. A preferred 1-substituent is shown for illustrative purposes. ##STR32## This reaction is described in greater detail, with the use of various disulfides and phosphorus compounds, in United Kingdom Patent Specification No. 1,449,524, published Sept. 15, 1976. ##STR33## The starting material and the amine are heated to about 100.degree. C., at which point the P.sub.2 O.sub.5 is added and the temperature is raised to about 150.degree. C. for a short period. This procedure is described in United Kingdom Patent Specification No. 1,441,352, published June 30, 1976. ##STR34## In this reaction, an amino substituent in the 4-position should be protected by acylation to a suitable amido group such as acetamido. Following the introduction of the 1-substituent, the 4-acetamido group is converted to an amino group by alkaline hydrolysis. This procedure, with variations, is described in United Kingdom Patent Specification No. 1,395,132, published May 21, 1975. ##STR35## This reaction, a variation of that shown in (d) above, is described in United Kingdom Patent Specification No. 1,395,131, published May 21, 1975. ##STR36## This procedure, and variations thereof, is described in United Kingdom Patent Specification No. 1,409,686, published Oct. 15, 1975. ##STR37## This procedure is described in published Japanese Patent Application (Kokai) No. 51-026840, published Mar. 5, 1976. ##STR38## In this procedure, the 4-amino substituent is protected by acylation, e.g. formation of an acetamido group, which is subsequently hydrolyzed to the free amino group in the final product. This procedure, and variations thereof, is described in published Japanese Patent Application (Kokai) No. 47-18652, published Sept. 16, 1972. ##STR39## This procedure, and variations thereof, is described in Belgian Patent No. 692,670, published July 17, 1967.
The physiology and neuropharmacology of emesis, and particularly chemotherapy-induced emesis, is not completely understood. The control mechanism for emesis consists of two distinct units in the medulla, the emectic center and the chemo-receptor trigger zone (CTZ). The emetic center, which is the final common pathway for all emetic stimuli, is located in the lateral reticular formation of the fourth ventricle. The CTZ is also located in the floor of the fourth ventricle, in the area postrema, and appears to be activated by chemical stimuli in the blood or cerebrospinal fluid. When stimulated, receptors, such as dopamine receptors, in the CTZ generate impulses which are transmitted to the emetic center, and emesis results. Reflex-induced vomiting may also be caused by irritation (and resulting stimuli) from the gastrointestinal tract or stimulation of receptors in the central nervous system. The cortex of the brain is believed to be another source of emesis. Thus, the familiar problem of anticipatory vomiting in patients receiving chemotherapy clearly is not associated with exogenous chemical stimulation. It is believed that anticipatory vomiting is mediated initially by the cortex which may then stimulate the medullary emetic center.
There are a number of commercially available antiemetic drugs at the present time, such as metoclopramide, bromopride, alizapride, clebopride, domperidone and nabilone. Metoclopramide is a leading compound and is utilized extensively in combination with cisplatin, which is an effective but highly emetogenic chemotherapeutic agent.
Presently available substituted benzamide antiemetic agents are generally dopaminergic antagonists and, indeed, are believed to exert their antiemetic activity by blocking dopamine receptors in the CTZ. Screening tests for potential antiemetic agents have historically involved tests which determine dopaminergic antagonist activity, e.g. spiperone binding tests in vitro, and the reduction of apomorphine-induced vomiting in the dog or cat.
The principal adverse effects of known substituted benzamide antiemetic agents are due to their dopamine blocking activity, and include akathisia, acute dystonia, Parkinsonian features and tardive dyskinesia, often along with nervous system depression.
The compounds of Formula I of the present invention are effective antiemetic agents but are not dopaminergic antagonists, as shown by both in vitro tests (spiperone binding) and in vivo tests (apomorphine emesis in the dog). Thus, the compounds of Formula I have good antiemetic activity (particularly against chemotherapy-induced emesis) with a high specificity of action, but with none of the side effect liabilities (such as described above) that are associated with the dopaminergic antagonist class of substituted benzamide antiemetic agents.
Many of the commercially available substituted benzamide antiemetic agents (such as metoclopraxide) also have gastrokinetic activity and are useful in the treatment of disorders related to impaired gastrointestinal motility, such as retarded gastric emptying, dyspepsia, flatulence, esophageal reflux and the like. Some of the compounds of Formula I have been shown to have activity similar to metoclopramide in the field-stimulated guinea pig ileum test (Table 2), which is one standard screening test for gastrokinetic activity. Again, because they are not dopaminergic antagonists, the compounds of Formula I do not have the above-mentioned side-effect liabilities of the commercially available substituted benzamides such as metoclopramide or clebopride.
BIOLOGICAL TEST PROCEDURE
(A) .sup.3 H-Spiperone Displacement
This test serves to detect compounds capable of displacing the radioactive spiperone ligand in vitro using striatal rat brain homogenates. It is used to identify compounds exhibiting an affinity to dopaminergic (D.sub.2) receptors.
Rats (150.+-.10 g; Charles River) were decapitated, the corpus striatum dissected out and frozen on dry ice. The tissues were pooled and stored at -80.degree. C. until used. Homogenates (Brinkmann Polytron) of the corpus striatum in cold HEPES.KOH buffer (final pH=7.4) were centrifuged at 39,000.times. G. The supernatant was discarded and the pellets were re-suspended in HEPES.KOH buffer and re-centrifuged as above. The supernatant was again discarded and the pellets suspended in a buffer consisting of 50 mM HEPES KOH containing 0.1% (w/v) ascorbic acid, 10 .mu.M pargyline, 120 mM NaCl, 5 mM KCl, 2 mM CaCl.sub.2 and 1 mM MgCl.sub.2 at 20.degree. C.; (final pH=7.4), at a concentration of 1 gm of wet tissue pellet per 100 ml of buffer mixture.
Tests to determine the Inhibitory Concentration.sub.50 (IC.sub.50) of the compounds of Formula I and reference compounds versus .sup.3 H-spiperone were conducted as follows. Tubes containing either 100 .mu.L of buffer mixture (for total binding), 100 .mu.L of buffer mixture plus 100 .mu.L of 10.sup.-4 M D(+)-butaclamol (for blanks, i.e. non-specific binding), or 100 .mu.L of buffer mixture containing 10.sup.-7, 10.sup.-6 or 10.sup.-5 M test compound were prepared. To each were added 100 .mu.L of a solution of .sup.3 H-spiperone (New England Nuclear) in buffer mixture (2000 c.p.m. in the incubation mixture) and 800 .mu.L of the striatal tissue suspension. The tubes were then diluted to 1 mL with buffer mixture, giving a final concentration of 10.sup.-8, 10.sup.-7 or 10.sup.-6 M test compound and approximately 100 pM .sup.3 H-spiperone. The samples were incubated at 37.degree. C. for 15 minutes, filtered in vacuo on glass fiber filters and counted by liquid scintillation spectrometry. For each of the test compounds, the IC.sub.50 was not reached at the highest concentration (10.sup.-6 .mu.M=1000 nM) of test compound, so the results in Table 2 were reported as >1000 nM. For the reference compounds, where the IC.sub.50 was reached (or exceeded) with the original concentrations, the tests were repeated utilizing 1/4, 1/2, 1, 2 and 4 times the concentration estimated (from the original concentrations) to be closest to the IC.sub.50, so as to more accurately determine the IC.sub.50. These latter results are reported in Table 2. All samples were run in duplicate.

Unfasted beagle dogs of both sexes were used as test subjects. Test compounds and apomorphine were each administered subcutaneously as aqueous solutions, with the test compound being administered 30 minutes prior to the administration of the apomorphine. The dogs were observed for 60 minutes after administration of the apomorphine for either emesis or complete protection from emesis (quantal response).
Apomorphine was administered at a dose of 0.3 mg/kg. Since the test compounds were essentially void of apomorphine antagonism, they were administered at a dose of 3 mg/kg. Failure to reach 50% antagonism (prevention of emesis) at that dosage is reported in Table 1 as >3 mg/kg. Since the comparison compounds such as metoclopramide, alizapride, clebopride and domperidone have dopaminergic antagonist activity, lower doses of these standards were administered, and the calculated ED.sub.50 's are reported in Table 1. All tests were run in at least two dogs.
(C) Antagonism of Cisplatin-Induced Emesis in the Ferret
Adult, male, castrated Fitch ferrets (1.0-1.5 kg) are anesthetized with pentobarbital sodium (30 mg/kg, i.p.). The ventral and dorsal area of the neck is shaved and a 3 cm incision is made. The left jugular vein is exposed and ligated with a silk suture at the cephalic end. The indwelling catheter is constructed of Silastic tubing 18 cm in length (0.020 inch I.D..times.0.037 inch O.D.) with a 2 cm polyethylene sleeve (0.045 inch I.D..times.0.062 inch O.D.) filled with heparin (1000 units/ml) and sealed at the exposed end with a 23 gauge.times.1 inch needle crimped at both ends. A small cut is made in the jugular and the catheter inserted, allowing the free end to be delivered through a 13 gauge.times.5 cm trochar under the skin and attached to the nape of the neck with a silk suture. The ferrets are housed in individual cages and allowed 2-4 days recovery before testing.
On the test day, the test compounds were administered i.v. (3 mg/ml or 1 ml/kg) via the catheter 5 minutes prior to and 90 minutes after cisplatin. The cisplatin solution was prepared by adding 70.degree. C. physiological saline, stirring and sonicating until dissolved. The resulting solution (4 mg/ml) was maintained at 40.degree. C. and administered i.v. (12 ml/kg) via the catheter. Following administration of cisplatin, the ferrets were observed continuously for four hours and emetic episodes recorded. Two or more emetic episodes within a one-minute period was considered as a single episode.
The ferrets were euthanized with T-61 i.v. at the termination of the experiment, and proper placement of the catheter was verified. The results of the test are shown in Table 1 as the percent protection (graded response) compared to saline treatment. The dosage and number of animals also are shown for each test.
(D) Gastrokinetic Activity
A number of compounds of this invention have been found to enhance contraction of field-stimulated guinea pig ileum preparations. This activity is considered to be correlated with gastrokinetic (prokinetic) activity in vivo, i.e. enhancement of gastric motility and gastric emptying.
Normal, male guinea pigs (Hartley; Charles River) weighing 300-400 g are sacrificed by cervical dislocation. The terminal portion of the ileum was removed after discarding a 10 cm segment nearest to the ileocecal junction. The strips, 3-4 cm in length, were mounted in a 20 ml organ bath containing Krebs physiological buffer solution. The buffer was bubbled with 95% O.sub.2 -5% CO.sub.2 and kept at 37.degree. C. The resting tension was adjusted to 1.0 g, and the tissues were equilibrated without stimulation for 15 minutes. For electrical stimulation, a platinum wire (cathode) was threaded up through the lumen and another platinum wire (anode) was attached to the glass rod that suspended the muscle. Tissues were stimulated coaxially at 1.5 times the voltage necessary to produce maximum twitch height, with single pulses, 0.5 msec in duration, delivered once every 10 seconds. After the 15 minute equilibration period (without stimulation), the stimulator (Grass S88 Stimulator) was turned on and the tissues were allowed to stabilize for approximately 1 hour, or until the twitch height remained constant, with washes every 20 minutes. The contractions of the ileum were recorded isometrically by means of a force displacement transducer (Grass FTO3C) and displayed on a Dynograph recorder. Some of the compounds of Formula I which showed increased contractions of field stimulated guinea pig ileum preparations are listed in Table 2, with the average % maximum increase, minimum effective concentration (.mu.m), effective concentration.sub.30 (EC.sub.30) and, in some instances, effective concentration.sub.50 (EC.sub.50) (.mu.M).

Tables 1 and 2 show the compounds of Formula I to have useful antiemetic and gastrokinetic activity, while Table 1 shows that the compounds are essentially free of dopaminergic antagonism, thus avoiding the side-effect liabilities of the currently available substituted benzamide antiemetic and gastrokinetic agents.
The compounds of Formula I may be administered either orally, parenterally or by suppository. When utilized as an antiemetic in the case of patients receiving cancer chemotherapeutic agents such as cisplatin, it preferably is given as an intravenous infusion diluted in a larger volume of parenteral solution (such as Dextrose--5% in water, Dextrose--5% in 0.45% sodium chloride, Ringer's Injection or Lactated Ringer's Injection). When utilized as a gastrokinetic agent, the compounds preferably are given orally if the symptoms are not severe. With severe symptoms, therapy preferably should begin with i.m. or i.v. administration until the severe symptoms subside, at which time oral administration may be instituted.
The dosage of the compounds of Formula I depend on the purpose for which they are taken (antiemetic or gastrokinetic), the particular compound administered, the age, weight and general health of the patient, as well as the severity of the malady, and is within the discretion of the physician.
When taken for gastrokinetic purposes, the compounds of Formula I are generally administered at a dosage of from 1 to 100 mg and preferably from 5 to 50 mg, from 2 to 5 times a day and preferably four times a day, e.g. before each meal and at bedtime.
For the prevention of nausea and vomiting associated with emetogenic cancer chemotherapeutic agents, the compounds of Formula I are generally administered (diluted in a larger volume of parenteral solution) at a dosage of from 0.1 to 50 mg/kg and preferably from 0.5 to 10 mg/kg, given several times per day. The particular dose to be used depends on the factors mentioned above, as well as the emetogenicity of the cancer chemotherapeutic agent. In general, the first dose should be given prior to the administration of the cancer chemotherapeutic agent, e.g. 30 minutes, and then every 2-8 hours after administration of the chemotherapeutic agent, until the symptoms of nausea and vomiting subside or become less severe, e.g. for 12 to 24 hours.
Tablets and capsules for oral use preferably are in unit dosage form, and may contain conventional excipients such as binding agents, fillers, tabletting lubricants, disintegrants, wetting agents and the like. The tablets may, if desired, be film coated by conventional techniques. Liquid preparations for oral use may be in the form of aqueous or oily suspensions, solutions, emulsions, syrups or elixirs, or may be a dry product for reconstitution with water or other suitable vehicle before use. Liquid preparations may contain conventional additives such as suspending agents, emulsifying agents, non-aqueous vehicle (including edible oils), preservatives, as well as flavoring and/or coloring agents.
For parenteral administration, the compounds of Formula I are combined with a sterile vehicle. Depending on the vehicle and concentration of active ingredient, the dosage form may be a solution or suspension. The vehicle normally will comprise sterile water, at least in large part, although saline solutions, glucose solutions and the like may be utilized. Injectable suspensions also may be used, in which case conventional suspending agents may be employed. Conventional preservatives, buffering agents and the like also may be added to the parenteral dosage forms.
For solid dosage forms, either the free base or a salt of the compounds of Formula I may be used. In the case of aqueous solutions, either oral or parenteral, it is often preferred to utilize a salt of the compounds of Formula I, due to the usual greater solubility of the salts in aqueous solutions.
It is especially advantageous to formulate the above pharmaceutical compositions in unit dosage form for ease of administration and uniformity of dosage. Unit dosage form refers to physically discrete units suitable as unitary doses, each unit containing a predetermined quantity of active ingredient, calculated to produce the desired effect, in association with the desired pharmaceutical carrier.
This invention also includes pharmaceutical compositions for the alleviation of nausea and vomiting, which comprises an effective antiemetic amount of at least one compound of Formula I, or a salt, hydrate or solvate thereof, plus a pharmaceutically acceptable carrier.
This invention also includes pharmaceutical compositions for the treatment of disorders related to impaired gastric motility, which comprise an effective gastric motility facilitating amount of at least one compound of Formula I, or a salt, hydrate or solvate thereof, and a pharmaceutically acceptable carrier.
This invention also relates to a method of alleviating nausea and vomiting in a warm-blooded mammal in need thereof, which comprises administering to said mammal an effective antiemetic amount of at least one compound of Formula I, or a salt, hydrate or solvate thereof, in a pharmaceutically acceptable carrier.
This invention also relates to a method of treating disorders related to impaired gastric motility in a warm-blooded mammal, which comprises administering to said mammal an effective gastric motility facilitating amount of at least one compound of Formula I, or a salt, hydrate or solvate thereof, in a pharmaceutically acceptable carrier.
As used herein and in the claims, the term "(lower)alkyl" means a straight or branched alkyl chain containing from 1 to 6 carbon atoms. Similarly, the terms "(lower)alkenyl" and "(lower)alkynyl" refer to alkenyl or alkynyl chains containing from 2 to 6 carbon atoms. All temperatures given herein are in degrees Centigrade.

FURTHER DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION
Some additional compounds similar to those defined hereinabove by formula I have been made, tested, and found to have useful gastro-intestinal properties. These new compounds, as well as the foregoing compounds of formula I, supra., are useful in the treatment of emesis, particularly emesis resulting from standard cancer treatments, such as chemotherapy, e.g., cisplatin treatment, and/or radiation treatment. These additional compounds are embodied as Formula I' ##STR40##
For compounds of formula I': R.sup.3, and R.sup.5, are as previously defined for compounds for formula I. The definition for R.sup.1, however is expanded in formula I' to include the (1-azabicyclo [2.2.2]-oct-3-yl) moiety, also known as a 3-quinuclidinyl radical, as shown below. ##STR41##
R.sup.1 also encompasses the definitions as previously given for formula I. The definition for R.sup.2 is also expanded in formula I' to include ##STR42## wherein R.sup.9 is as previously defined supra. for compounds of formula I. As in the case of R.sup.1, R.sup.2 also encompasses the definitions given previously for R.sup.2 in formula I.
Additionally, for compounds of formula I' where R.sup.1 is the 1-azabicyclo [2.2.2]-oct-3-yl moiety, R.sup.2 is further expanded to include alkenyl and alkynyl. Preferred compounds of this subclass comprise N-(1-azabicyclo [2.2.2]-oct-3-yl) benzamides wherein R.sup.2 is allyl and propargyl.
Concerning compounds of formula I' wherein R.sup.1 is a (1-azabicyclo [2.2.2]-oct-3-yl) moiety, attention is called to European Patent Application 158,532 of Munson and Boswell which was published Oct. 16, 1985. This application discloses 2-alkoxy-N-(1-azabicyclo[2.2.2]-oct-3-yl)benzamides and thiobenzamides having the formula ##STR43## in which X is oxygen or sulfur; R.sup.1 is lower alkyl; R.sup.2 is hydrogen, halogen, 4,5-benzo, alkoxy or Am wherein Am is amino, methylamino or dimethylamino, and n is 1 or 2. These compounds may be distinguished from the instant compounds of formula I' as substructure A-R.sup.2 of I' (which compares to substructure OR.sup.1 of the European application) has a variety of definitions but never includes lower alkoxy, the only definition given for the art compounds.
The compounds of Formula I' may be synthesized by employing methods described in the chemical literature and/or modifying the synthetic methods already described for the compounds of formula I, supra., in a manner which would be obvious to one skilled in the pertinent art.
Preferred compounds of Formula I' are those compounds having structure II' ##STR44## wherein R.sup.2 is as defined for formula I' and includes alkenyl and alkynyl. These preferred formula II' compounds may be prepared by methods such as those outlined below. Additional synthesis processes as well as modifications of the synthetic methods described hereinbelow would be obvious to one skilled in the pertinent art. ##STR45##
For all compounds of the instant invention, i.e. compounds of Formula I and I', the invention also relates to a method of alleviating nausea and vomiting in a warm-blooded mammal in need thereof, which comprises systemic administration to said mammal of an effective anti-emetic amount of at least one compound of formula I or I', or a salt, hydrate, or solvent thereof, in a pharmaceutically accepted carrier. The invention also relates to an method of treating disorders related to impaired gastric motility in a warm-blooded mammal, which similarly comprises systemic administration to said mammal of an effective gastric motility facilitating amount of at least one compound of the instant series, or a salt, hydrate or solvent thereof in a pharmaceutically acceptable carrier.

EXAMPLE 67
erythro-4-Acetamido-5-chloro-N-[2-(diethylamino)ethyl]-2-[(2-acetoxy)-but-3-yl]oxybenzamide and threo-4-acetamido-5-chloro-N-[2-(diethylamino)ethyl]-2-[(2-acetoxy)-but-3-yl]oxybenzamide.
4-Amino-2-(butan-2-one-3-yl)oxy-5-chloro-N-[2-(diethylamino)ethylbenzamide hydrochloride (prepared in Example 7) (30.0 g; 0.0765 mole) was added to 300 ml of abs. ethanol and the mixture was warmed to ca. 50.degree. C. The heat source was removed and sodium borohydride (3.18 g; 0.084 mole) was added slowly, in small portions, with good stirring. When the addition was complete the mixture was stirred at reflux for one hour. The reaction mixture was filtered, the ethanol removed in vacuo and the residue was treated with 100 ml of water followed by 40 ml of 3N HCl. The acid solution was extracted twice with ether (discarded), cooled in an ice bath and made strongly basic with 40% NaOH. The separated oil was then extracted with several portions of CH.sub.2 Cl.sub.2, dried over Na.sub.2 SO.sub.4 and the solvent evaporated to leave 25.88 g of sticky gum. An nmr (CDCl.sub.3) showed ca. 7:3 mixture of threo to erythro diastereoisomers. Some enrichment of the erythro isomer was effected by crystallizing from the mixture the threo isomer (6.60 g) using solvent systems of ethyl acetate/skelly B, nitromethane and toluene/ether.
The mother liquors from the collected crystals were evaporated to dryness and the residual oil (ca. 20 g of the intermediate alcohol; 0.0559 mole) was dissolved in 200 ml of pyridine. 31.6 ml of acetic anhydride (34.23 g; 0.335 mole) was added and the solution was heated in an oil bath at 72.degree.-75.degree. C. (oil bath temperature) for one hour and at 100.degree.-105.degree. C. for 2.5 hrs. The reaction solution was concentrated at reduced pressure and the residue was partitioned between water and CH.sub.2 Cl.sub.2. 40% NaOH was added to make the aqueous layer strongly basic and then extracted with several portions of CH.sub.2 Cl.sub.2. The combined extracts were dried and the solvent evaporated to give a mixture of the diacylated products as a dark oil.
The crude mixture was purified by flash chromatography on 400 g of silica gel (32-63 .mu.m) using 98 CH.sub.2 Cl.sub.2 :2 CH.sub.3 OH:0.3% NH.sub.4 OH as the eluant. 34.times.400 ml fractions were collected and combined into four lots as follows:
Fractions 9, 10, 11--6.62 g (92:8 threo:erythro)
Fractions 12-17--5.62 g (86:14 threo:erythro)
Fractions 18-25--10.28 g (57:43 threo:erythro)
Fractions 26-33--4.46 g (14:86 threo:erythro)
Determination of the isomer ratio was done by analytical HPLC using a 10.mu. Alltech silica 600 column and a mobil phase of 800 CH.sub.2 Cl.sub.2 :8 IPA: 4 NH.sub.4 OH; UV detector at 280 nm.
Separation of the two diastereoisomers was effected by chromatographing the four lots (in six runs) on a Waters Prep 500 HPLC System.
Column: new silical gel column (1)
Detector: refractive index
Mobile Phase: CH.sub.2 Cl.sub.2 +2-5% IPA+0.5% NH.sub.4 OH
Each of the collected fractions was assayed on the analytical HPLC and the appropriate ones were combined to yield 4.44 g of amber oil that was 96.8% pure erythro isomer. Also isolated was 6.74 g of the threo isomer (97.4% pure), 2.12 g threo isomer (94% pure) and 1.14 g of erythro isomer (94.8% pure).

A solution of 4-amino-2-(butan-2-one-3-yl)oxy-5-chloro-N-[2-(diethylamino)ethylbenzamide (3.0 g; 7.65 mmoles) (prepared in Example 7) in 35 ml of dry THF was cooled to -78.degree. C. and treated with lithium tri-s-butylborohydride (L-Selectride, 8.03 ml of a 1M solution in THF) with good stirring. After 20 min the cooling bath was removed and the yellow solution was allowed to warm to RT.degree.. 9.30 ml of 1.0N NaOH was added to the solutuion, dropwise, and the THF was removed at reduced pressure. The residue was partitioned between ether and water and the ether layer was washed once again with water.
The ether solution was extracted once with 10 ml of 1.0N HCl and the extract backwashed once with ether. The acid layer was then cooled in an ice bath, basified with 3 ml of 4N NaOH and the alcohol was extracted into several portions of CH.sub.2 Cl.sub.2. After evaporation of the solvent there remained 2.30 g of yellow gum which contained ca. 6% of the erythro isomer.
The crude product was purified by flash chromatography on 50 g of silica gel (32-63 .mu.m) using a gradient elution of methanol-methylene chloride containing 0.3% NH.sub.4 OH. The appropriate fractions were combined and evaporated to give 2.10 g of yellow gum that slowly started to crystallize. Recrystallization from ethyl acetate yielded 0.631 g (23%) of the title compound as a white solid, m.p.=111.degree.-113.degree. C.
