Phenoxyacetic acid derivatives

Description

SUMMARY
This invention is related to phenoxyacetic acid derivatives.
More particularly, this invention is related to:
1) phenoxyacetic acid derivatives of the formula (I): ##STR2## wherein all the symbols are the same meaning as hereafter defined, and non-toxic salts thereof and non-toxic acid addition salts thereof,
2) processes for the preparation thereof, and
3) pharmaceutical agents containing them as active ingredient.
BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION
Prostaglandin I.sub.2 (PGI.sub.2) is a physiologically active natural substance having the following structural formula, which is biosynthesized from Prostaglandin H.sub.2 (PGH.sub.2) in the metabolic process in vivo called arachidonate cascade. ##STR3## (see Nature, 263, 663(1976), Prostaglandins, 12, 685(1976), ibid, 12, 915(1976), ibid, 13, 375(1977) and Chemical and Engineering News, Dec. 20, 17(1976)).
PGI.sub.2 has been confirmed to possess not only a very strong inhibitory activity on blood platelet aggregation but a dissociative activity on blood platelet aggregation, an inhibitory activity on blood platelet adhesion, a vasodilating activity, an inhibitory activity on gastric acid secretion etc. Therefore, it has been considered that PGI.sub.2 is useful for the prevention and/or the treatment for thrombosis, arteriosclerosis, ischemic heart diseases, gastric ulcer, hypertension etc. But its application as a pharmaceutical is limited because of its chemical instability and difficulty in separating the activities according to purpose. Accordingly, various PGI.sub.2 derivatives have been synthesized and much research has been carried out for the maintenance and the separation of the activities. However, satisfactory results have been obtained.
Recently, to solve two problems described above, research for PGI.sub.2 receptor agonists which have a new skeleton which may be useful for the treatment of or for the prevention of the above diseases, in view of PGI.sub.2 receptor level, has been carried out.
RELATED ARTS
It has been reported in the literature, that the following compounds not having the PGI.sub.2 skeleton are PGI.sub.2 receptor agonists which bind to a PGI.sub.2 receptor and inhibit blood platelet aggregation: ##STR4## (see Brit. J. Pharmacol., 76, 423(1982), ibid, 84, 595(1985), and the Japanese Patent Kohyo No. 55-501098), ##STR5## (see Brit. J. Pharmacol., 76, 423(1982), ibid, 84, 595(1985), and the Japanese Patent Kohyo No. 57-501127), ##STR6## (see Brit. J. Pharmacol., 102, 251-266(1991) and the West German Patent Publication No. 3,504,677), and ##STR7## (see U.S. Pat. No. 5,011,851).
PURPOSE OF THE INVENTION
Energetic investigation has been carried out to discover new PGI.sub.2 receptor agonists having a skeleton with a chemical structure different from the compounds mentioned above. The present inventors have found that phenoxyacetic acid derivatives can bind to PGI.sub.2 receptors have an inhibitory activity on blood platelet aggregation.
The phenoxyacetic acid derivatives of formula (I) of the instant invention are novel, and it is not possible to predict from the above compounds known as PGI.sub.2 receptor agonists, that the compounds of the instant invention are PGI.sub.2 receptor agonists.

Pharmacologic Activities
It has been confirmed that the compounds of the instant invention of formula (I) possess an agonistic activity the PGI.sub.2 receptor by the following experimental results.
i) Inhibitory activity on binding of �.sup.3 H!-iloprost to PGI.sub.2 receptor in the human blood platelet membrane fraction
Method
50 mM Tris-HCl buffer (pH 7.4) containing 15 mM MgCl.sub.2, 5 mM EDTA and 10 nM �.sup.3 H!-iloprost were used as reaction medium. To 0.2 ml of the reaction medium, human blood platelet membrane fraction (0.3 mg protein) was added with or without a test compound. The mixture was incubated at 24.degree. C. for 30 min. After incubation, 4 ml of ice-cold 10 mM Tris-HCl buffer (pH 7.4) was added to the reaction mixture, the mixture was filtered through Whatman GF/B glass fiber filter, and washed 4 times with 4 ml of ice-cold 10 mM Tri-HCl buffer (pH 7.4) to separate bound and free �.sup.3 H!-iloprost. After washing, the filter was dried and radioactivity was counted. Non-specific binding was obtained by performing parallel binding experiments in the presence of 10 .mu.M non-labelled iloprost. Specific binding was calculated by subtracting the non-specific binding from the total binding.
The inhibitory effect of a test compound was calculated from the following equation.
The percentage of inhibition (%)=100-(B.sub.1 /B.sub.0 .times.100)
B.sub.1 : specific �.sup.3 H!-iloprost binding in the presence of a test compound
B.sub.0 : specific �.sup.3 H!-iloprost binding in the absence of a test compound
The results are shown in the following Table 1.
