Phenothiazone derivatives and analogs

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION
This invention involves certain phenothiazone derivatives and analogs. These compounds are useful as inhibitors of mammalian leukotriene biosynthesis. As such, these compounds are useful therapeutic agents for treating allergic conditions, asthma, cardiovascular disorders and inflammation.
The leukotrienes are a novel group of biologically active mediators derived from arachidonic acid through the action of lipoxygenase enzyme systems. There are two groups of leukotrienes derived from the common unstable precursor Leukotriene A.sub.4. The first of these are the peptido-lipid leukotrienes, the most important being Leukotrienes C.sub.4 and D.sub.4. These compounds collectively account for the biologically active material known as the slow reacting substance of anaphylaxis.
The leukotrienes are potent smooth muscle contracting agents, particularly on respiratory smooth muscle but also on other tissues (e.g. gall bladder). In addition, they promote mucous production, modulate vascular permeability changes and are potent inflammatory agents in human skin. The most important compound in the second group of leukotrienes is Leukotriene B.sub.4, a dihydroxy fatty acid. This compound is a potent chemotactic agent for neutrophils and eosinophils and in addition, may modulate a number of other functions of these cells. It also effects other cell types such as lymphocytes and for example may modulate the action of T-suppressor cells and natural killer cells. When injected in vivo, in addition to promoting the accumulation of leukocytes, Leukotriene B.sub.4 is also a potent hyperalgesic agent and can modulate vascular permeability changes through a neutrophil dependent mechanism. Both groups of leukotrienes are formed following oxygenation of arachidonic acid through the action of a 5-lipoxygenase enzyme. See for example, D. M. Bailey et al., Ann. Rpts. Med. Chem. 17 203 (1982).
Respiratory Conditions
(a) Asthma
The leukotrienes are potent spasmogens of human trachea, bronchus and lung parenchymal strips, and when administered to normal volunteers as aerosols are 3,000 times more potent that histamine at inducing a 50% decrease in air flow at 30% of vital capacity. They mediate increases in vascular permeability in animals and promote mucous production in human bronchial explants. In addition, Leukotriene B.sub.4 may also mediate mucous production and could be an important mediator of neutrophil and eosinophil accumulation in asthmatic lungs. 5-Lipoxygenase products are also thought to be regulators of mast cell degranulation and recent studies with human lung mast cells have suggested that 5-Lipoxygenase inhibitors, but not corticosteroids, may suppress antigen-induced mast cell degranulation. In vitro studies have shown that antigen challenge of human lung results in the release of leukotrienes and in addition purified human mast cells can produce substantial amounts of leukotrienes. There is therefore good evidence that the leukotrienes are important mediators of human asthma. 5-Lipoxygenase inhibitors would therefore be a new class of drugs for the treatment of asthma. See for example, B. Samuelson, Science 220 568-575 ( 1983).
Skin Diseases
(a) Psoriasis
Psoriasis is a human skin disease which effects between two and six percent of the population. There is no adequate therapy for psoriasis and related skin conditions. The evidence for leukotriene involvement in these diseases is as follows. One of the earliest events in the development of prepapillary lesions is the recruitment of leukocytes to the skin site. Injection of Leukotriene B.sub.4 into human skin results in a pronounced neutrophil accumulation. There are gross abnormalities in arachiconic acid metabolism inhuman psoriatic skin. In particular, highly elevated levels of free arachidonic acid can be measured as well as large amounts of lipoxygenase products. Leukotriene B.sub.4 has been detected in psoriatic lesions, but not in uninvolved skin, in biologically significant amounts.
Allergic Conditions
(a) Leukotrienes can be measured in nasal washings from patients with allergic rhinitis and are greatly elevated following antigen challenge. Leukotrienes may mediate this disease through their ability to regulate mast cell degranulation, by modulating mucous production and mucocillary clearance and by mediating the accumulation of inflammatory leukocytes.
Leukotrienes can also mediate other diseases. These include atopic dermatitis, gouty arthritis and gall bladder spasms. In addition, they may have a role in cardiovascular disease because leukotrienes C.sub.4 and D.sub.4 act as coronary and cerebral arterial vasoconstrictors and these compounds may also have negative inotropic effects on the myocardium. In addition, the leukotrienes are important mediators of inflammatory diseases through their ability to modulate leukocyte and lymphocyte function.

Chim. 13, 833-8 (1968; Beckett et al., Xenobiotica 8, 721-36 (1978); Panea et al., Rev. Roum. Chim. 25, 691-5 (1980); Bhargava et al.,; Gazz. Chim. Ital. 110, 201-3 (1980); Bodea et al., Ann.

Med. Sci. 30, 443-6 (1952). However, none of the compounds of Formula A are taught to have mammalian leukotriene biosynthesis inhibitor activity.
It has been discovered that compounds of Formula A and especially those where X is O are effective inhibitors of mammalian leukotriene biosynthesis and are thus useful therapeutic agents for treating conditions such as asthma, allergies, inflammation and certain skin diseases in humans.

The compounds of the Formula I have unexpected activity as inhibitors of the mammalian biosynthesis of leukotriene B.sub.4, as well as leukotrienes C.sub.4, D.sub.4, E.sub.4 and F.sub.4, the active elements of the slow reacting substance of anaphylaxis (SRS-A). The compounds of Formula I act as inhibitors of the mammalian 5-Lipoxygenase enzyme system of the arachidonic acid cascade. This inhibition of the mammalian biosynthesis of leukotrienes indicates that the compositions would be useful to treat, prevent or ameliorate, in mammals and especially in humans (1) pulmonary conditions including diseases such as asthma, (2) allergies and allergic reactions such as allergic rhinitis, contact dermatitis, allergic conjunctivitis and the like, (3) inflammation such as arthritides, (4) pain, (5) skin conditions such as psoriasis and the like and (6) cardiovascular conditions such as angina and the like.
Representative compounds of Formula I have been tested using one or more of the following assays to determine their mammalian leukotriene biosynthesis inhibiting activity and other relevant activities.
RBL-1 5-Lipoxygenase
Rat basophilic leukemia (RBL-1) cells were sonicated and centrifuged at 125000 xg. The resulting supernatant fraction was incubated with arachidonic acid (labelled with .sup.14 C) to convert a portion of it to .sup.14 C-5(S)-hydroxyicosatetraenoic acid (5-HETE). Compounds being evaluated as inhibitors of 5-Lipoxygenase were added prior to the addition of arachidonic acid. 5-HETE was isolated by extraction and paper chromatography, and quantitated by determining the amount of radioactivity (cpm) associated with 5-HETE.

Mouse Macrophage Assay
Mouse peritoneal macrophages were treated sequentially with arachidonic acid (labelled with tritium); the compound being evaluated as an inhibitor, and a stimulator (zymosan). Metabolites derived from arachidonic acid PGE.sub.2 6-keto PH-F.sub.1.alpha. and leukotriene C.sub.4) were separated from the incubation medium by extraction and chromatography, and then quantitated by determining the amount of radioactivity (cpm) associated with each of them. Inhibitors caused a reduction in the amount of radioactivity (cmp) associated with a given metabolite. (This protocol is identical to that described in the reference except that the radioactivity herein associated with the LTC.sub.4 was determined by counting an aliquot of the final aqueous solution directly rather than chromatographing it first).

Antigen Challenge `in vitro` Assay
Male guinea pigs weighing 300-350 g were sensitized by injecting (I.P.) 0.5 ml of a suspension containing 0.4 mg of egg albumin (Ovalbumin, Grade V, Sigma Chemical Co.) and 4.0 g aluminum hydroxide in 19.6 ml of saline. Two weeks were permitted for sensitization to occur.
Three sensitized guinea pigs were stunned and exsanguinated. The tracheas were removed, freed of adhering tissue and divided longitudinally by cutting through the cartilaginous tissue directly opposite the muscle insertion. Each opened trachea was then transected between every second cartilage. Four of the cut sections were tied together, end to end, in a series with No. 7 silk thread ensuring that the tracheal muscles were all in the same vertical plane. Thus, each chain consisted of tissue from three different animals.
The chain so formed was then suspended under 1 g of tension (by silk ties at each end) in a 20 ml organ bath containing 10 ml of modified* Krebs-Henseleit buffer solution gassed with 95% O.sub.2 and 5% CO.sub.2 at 37.degree. C. Mepyramine (0.55 .mu.g/ml) and indomethacin (2.67 .mu.g/ml) were added to the buffer to avoid the contribution of histamine receptors and cyclooxygenase products to the contraction. To record responses one end of the tracheal chain was attached to a Gould-Statham UC-2 force displacement transducer which was connected to a Beckman Type R-dynograph. The preparations were allowed to equilibrate for one hour during which time the tissues were automatically washed (10 ml volume displacement) every 6 minutes.
*modified Krebs solution in grams/liter and (mM): NaCl--6.87 (120); glucose--2.1 (11); NaHCO.sub.3 --2.1 (25); KCl--0.32 (4.72); CaCl.sub.2 --0.28 (2.5); MgSO.sub.4.7H.sub.2 O--0.11 (0.5); KH.sub.2 PO.sub.4 --0.16 (1.2); pH at bathing solution=7.35.+-.0.05.
After the equilibration period the tissues were primed with methacholine (3 .mu.g/ml; 1.5.times.10.sup.-5 M), washed and allowed to recover to baseline. The tissues were treated again with a second dose of methacholine, washed, allowed to return to baseline and washed for an additional hour.
Two chains were used as a control. These were incubated in a concentration of egg albumin sufficient to induce an average contraction of 50-80% of the methacholine response.
Each compound to be tested was added to two other baths (at a final concentration in each bath of 10 .mu.g/ml) 15 minutes prior to challenging the fresh chains with egg albumin.
The response of the challenged tissue was expressed as a percentage of the methacholine maximum. The % inhibition for each compound was then calculated. Compounds which at 10 .mu.g/ml (final conc.) inhibited the egg albumin response by 50% or more were retested at a lower concentration.
Asthmatic Rat Assay
Rats were obtained from an inbred line of asthmatic rats. Both female and male rats from 200 to 300 g were used.
Egg albumin (EA), grade V, crystallized and lyophilized, was obtained from Sigma Chemical Co., St. Louis. Bordetella pertussis vaccine, containing 30.times.10.sup.9 killed bacteria per ml was obtained from the Institut Armand-Frappier, Laval des Rapides, Quebec. Aluminum hydroxide was obtained from the Regis Chemical Company, Chicago.
The challenge and subsequent respiratory recordings were carried out in a clear plastic box with internal dimensions 10.times.6.times.4 inches. The top of the box was removable; in use, it was held firmly in place by four clamps and an airtight seal was maintained by a soft rubber gasket. Through the center of each end of the chamber a Devilbiss nebulizer (No. 40) was inserted via an airtight seal and each end of the box also had an outlet. A Fleisch No. 0000 pneumotachograph was inserted into one end of the box and coupled to a Grass volumetric pressure transducer (PT5-A) which was then connected to a Beckman Type T Dynograph through appropriate couplers. While aerosolizing the antigen, the outlets were open and the pneumotachograph was isolated from the chamber. The outlets were closed and the pneumotachograph and the chamber were connected during the recording or the respiratory patterns. For challenge, 2 ml of a 3% solution of antigen in saline was placed into each nebulizer and the aerosol was generated with air from a small Potter diaphragm pump operating at 10 psi and a flow of 8 liters/minute.
Rats were sensitized by injecting (s.c.) 1 ml of a suspension containing 1 mg EA and 200 mg aluminum hydroxide in saline. Simultaneously, they received an injection (i.p.) of 0.5 ml of B. pertussis vaccine. They were used between days 14 and 18 postsensitization. In order to eliminate the serotonin component of the response, rats were pretreated intravenously 5 minutes prior to aerosol challenge with 30 gm/kg methylserzide. Rats were then exposed to an aerosol of 3% EA in saline for exactly 1 minute, then their respiratory profiles were recorded for a further 25-30 minutes. The duration of continuous dyspnoea was measured from the respiratory recordings.
Compounds were generally administered either intraperitoneally 1 hour prior to challenge or orally 11/2 hours prior to challenge. They were either dissolved in dimethylsulfoxide or suspended in 0.1% methocel and 0.5% Tween 80. The volume injected has 2 ml/kg (intraperitoneally) or 10 ml/kg (orally). Prior to oral treatment rats were starved overnight. Their activity was determined in terms of their ability to decrease the duration of symptoms of dyspnoea in comparison with a group of vehicle-treated controls. Usually, a compound was evaluated at a series of doses and an ED.sub.50 was determined. This was defined as the dose (mg/kg) which would inhibit the duration of symptoms by 50%.
PAF-Induced Hyperalgesia Assay
Female Sprague-Dawley rats, 35-40 g were fasted overnight. Platelet activating factor, PAF, (L-lecithin B-acetyl O-alkyl) 1 .mu.g/0.1 ml was given by subplantar injection in the rat paw. The compounds to be evaluated were homogenized in Aqueous Vehicle (0.9% benzyl alcohol, 0.5% Tween 80 and 0.4% methylcellulose) and administered orally in a volume of 0.1 ml, 30 minutes prior to PAF.
Animals were tested 1, 2, 3 and 4 hours after PAF administration. The vocalization threshold, defined as the pressure (mmHg) needed to evoke a squeak response, was recorded for both the injected and contralateral paw. No animal was subjected to pressure greater than 60 mmHg. Hyperalgesia is defined as a decrease in vocalization threshold as compared to a normal paw. Percent inhibition of hyperalgesia was calculated as the proportion of animals with vocalization thresholds greater than 200% of controls.

The standard method* for yeast hyperalgesia was used. Female Sprague-Dawley rats, 35-40 g were fasted overnight. A 5% solution (volume 0.1 ml) of Brewer's yeast was injected into the rat paw. The compound was homogenized in aqueous vehicle and given orally 2 hours after yeast. Vocalization thresholds were recorded 1 hours after drug (3 hours after yeast). Percent inhibition of hyperalgesia was determined by the proportion of animals with vocalization thresholds greater than 25 mmHg.

In addition to the compounds of Formula I, the pharmaceutical compositions can also contain other active ingredients, such as cyclooxygenase inhibitors, non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs), peripheral analgesic agents such as zomepirac diflunisal and the like. The weight ratio of the compound of the Formula I to the second active ingredient may be varied and will depend upon the effective dose of each ingredient. Generally, an effective dose of each will be used. Thus, for example, when a compound of the Formula I is combined with an NSAID the weight ratio of the compound of the Formula I to the NSAID will generally range from about 1000:1 to about 1:1000, and preferably from about 200:1 to about 1:200.
Combinations of a compound of the Formula I and other active ingredients will generally be within the aforementioned broad range and will preferably be within the aforementioned preferred range, but in each case, an effective dose of each active ingredient should be used.

Formula I includes both novel and known compounds. These compounds may be prepared by any process available to the skilled artisan.
One such process for compounds where X=0 involves the oxidation of the appropriate phenothiazine as illustrated by the following equations. ##STR59## Various oxidizing agents and systems are taught in the art, e.g. PbO.sub.2, HNO.sub.3, K.sub.2 Cr.sub.2 O.sub.7, K.sub.2 Cr.sub.2 O.sub.7, iodine, FeCl.sub.3 and the like.
Another process useful for preparing some Formula I compounds containing halogen substituents is by direct halogenation of an appropriate phenothiazone or analog thereof as illustrated by the following equation. ##STR60##
Still another process useful for preparing many of the Formula I compounds is by the reaction of an appropriate aniline with an appropriate quinone as illustrated by the following equation: ##STR61## This general process is described in the literature.
A specific process for preparing the intermediate phenothiazin-3-one is illustrated by the following equation: ##STR62## The process requires the use of 2 moles of quinone per mole of aniline. Any suitable solvent may be used. Example of such solvents are acetic acid, lower alkanols, acetic acid/H.sub.2 O, loweralkanol/water, other polar solvents and the like. A preferred solvent is one which will dissolve A, B and D and in which C is substantially insoluble. The reaction is readily carried out at room temperature--lower temperatures, e.g. as low as -10.degree. C., may be used--elevated temperatures may also be used but are not required. This process is more fully described in our copending application U.S. Ser. No. 459,923, filed on Jan. 21, 1983, which is hereby incorporated by reference.
Another useful process to prepare certain of the compounds of the present invention is the oxidation of certain phenothiazines or benzo[a]phenothiazines by standard oxidizing agents such as potassium dichromate, NaClO.sub.2, 2,3-dichloro-5,6-dicyano-1,4-benzoquinone (DDQ), and the like. Several of these benzo[a]phenothiazines and phenothiazines are described in our copending applications U.S. Ser. Nos. 539,342 and 539,215, respectively, both filed on Oct. 5, 1983, which are hereby incorporated by reference.

Examples of the Formulae I and II compounds follow. These examples are provided merely as an aid to understand the instant invention. No limitation is intended, other than those that appear in the appended claims. All temperatures are in degrees Celsius and are uncorrected.
