Polyprenyl carboxylic acid amides of the formula ##STR1## process for their preparation and use thereof for treating liver dysfunction are disclosed.
Description
The present invention relates to polyprenylcarboxylic acid amides represented by the following general formula (I): ##STR2## wherein n is an integer of from 1 to 4, a and b stand for hydrogen atoms or a direct valence bond between the carbon atoms to which a and b are attached, c and d stand for hydrogen atoms or a direct valence bond between the carbon atoms to which c and d are attached, and R.sub.1 and R.sub.2 stand for a hydrogen atom, a lower alkyl group, a phenyl group which may be substituted or an aralkyl group which may be substituted, or R.sub.1 and R.sub.2 form, together with the adjacent nitrogen atom, a 5- or 6-membered heretocyclic ring which may contain other hetero atoms or may be substituted,
and also to a process for the preparation of said polyprenylcarboxylic acid amide and to a pharmaceutical composition for treating liver dysfunction comprising said polyprenylcarboxylic acide amine.
In the above-mentioned general formula (I), R.sub.1 and R.sub.2 stand for a hydrogen atom, a lower alkyl group such as a methyl group, an ethyl group, an iso-propyl group, an n-propyl group, a t-butyl group or an n-butyl group, a phenyl group, or an aralkyl group such as a benzyl group or a phenylethyl group. These phenyl and aralkyl groups can be ring substituted with a lower alkyl group, a hydroxyl group, an alkoxy group, a methylene-dioxy group or a halogen atom. Furthermore, ##STR3## can form a 5- or 6 -membered heterocyclic ring. As such heterocyclic ring, there can be mentioned a morpholino group, a 1-pyrrolidinyl group, a piperidino group and a 1-piperazinyl group. These heterocyclic rings can be ring substituted with a lower alkyl group, an alkoxy group, a hydroxy-lower-alkyl group, a phenyl group, an alkoxyphenyl group, a hydroxyl group, a formyl group or a halogen atom.
The compounds of the present invention can be prepared according to the following processes.
Process A
A compound represented by the following general formula (I-1): ##STR4## wherein n, a, b, R.sub.1 and R.sub.2 are as defined above, is prepared according to a process comprising (a) reacting a compound represented by the following general formula (V): ##STR5## wherein n, a and b are as defined above, with a lower alkyl ester of cyanoacetic acid, in the presence of a base, to form a compound represented by the following general formula (VI): ##STR6## wherein n, a and b are as defined above, and R stands for a lower alkyl group,
(b) reducing the compound represented by the general formula (VI) to obtain a compound represented by the following general formula (VII): ##STR7## wherein n, a and b are as defined above, (c) decarboxylating the compound represented by the general formula (VII), in the presence of a base, such as potassium hydroxide, sodium hydroxide or pyridinecopper, and hydrolyzing the decarboxylated compound to form a compound represented by the following general formula (II): ##STR8## wherein n, a and b are as defined above, and (d) reacting the compound represented by the general formula (II), or a reactive derivative thereof, with a compound represented by the following general formula (III): ##STR9## wherein R.sub.1 and R.sub.2 are as defined above.
The amide synthesis reaction of the step (d) can be performed according to a conventional method. When the carboxylic acid of the general formula (II) is used, it is preferred that the reaction be carried out in the presence of a dehydrating condensating agent such as N,N'-dicyclocarbodiimide, N,N'-diethylcarbodiimide, a trialkyl ester of phosphorus acid, an ethyl ester of polyphosphoric acid, phosphorus oxychloride, oxazolyl chloride or tosyl chloride. When a reactive derivative of the compound of the general formula (II) is used, as the reaction derivatives in which the carboxyl group is modified there are used, for example, acid halides such as acid chloride and acid bromide, corresponding acid anhydrides, mixed acid anhydrides with such carboxylic acids as chlorocarbonic acid ester, trimethyacetic acid, thioacetate acid and diphenylacetic acid, active esters with 2-mercaptopyridine, cyanomethanol, p-nitrophenol, 2,4,-dinitrophenol and pentachlorophenol, active acid amides with N-acylsaccharin and N-acylsulfonamide, and acid azides. This amide synthesis reaction can be carried out in a solvent, for example, an ether, such as diethyl ether, tetrahydrofuran or dioxane, a halogenated hydrocarbon, such as dichloromethane or chloroform, or an aromatic hydrocarbon, such as benzene or toluene, in the presence of or in the absence of a basic reagent, such as triethylamine or pyridine.
In the step (d), if the compound of the general formula (III) contains another functional group capable of reacting with the compound of the general formula (II), the intended compound can be obtained by reacting such a compound of formula (III) in which said another group is protected with a protecting group, with the compound of the general formula (II) and then isolating the protecting group from the resulting compound. For example, in case of piperazine, N-formylpiperazine is reacted to effect amidation and then, deformylation is carried out.
Process B
A compound of the present invention, which is represented by the following general formula (I-2): ##STR10## wherein a, b, R.sub.1 and R.sub.2 are as defined above, can be obtained by reacting a compound represented by the following general formula (V): ##STR11## wherein n, a and b are as defined above, with a Wittig reagent derived from a compound represented by the following general formula (VIII): ##STR12## wherein X stands for a halogen atom, and R.sub.1 and R.sub.2 are as defined above.
As the Wittig reagent derived from a compound of the general formula (VIII), there can be mentioned compounds represented by the following general formulae (IX), (X) and (XI), which are obtained by reacting the compound of the general formula (VIII) with a trialkyl phosphite, a phenyldialkoxyphosphine and a triphenylphosphine, respectively: ##STR13## wherein R stands for an alkyl group, Ph stands for phenyl group, and R.sub.1, R.sub.2 and X are as defined above.
These Wittig reagents can be prepared according to conventional methods, for example, the method of Wadworth et al. [see J. Am. Chem. Soc., 83, page 1733 (1961)], the method of Greenwald et al. [see J. Org. Chem., 28, page 1128 (1963)], and the method of Horner et al. [see Ber., 95, page 581 (1962)].
The reaction of the Wittig reagent with the compound of the general formula (V) can be carried out according to a conventional Wittig reaction method, for example, the methods disclosed in the above literature references.
The reaction is ordinarily carried out in the presence of a basic reagent such as butyl lithium, sodium amide, sodium hydride, sodium methylate, potassium t-butoxide, potassium hydroxide, sodium carbonate or triethylamine. Benzene, xylene, n-hexane, petroleum ether, isopropyl ether, dioxane, tetrahydrofuran, ethyl acetate, dimethylformamide or the like is used as the solvent.
The compound of the general formula (VIII) can be obtained by reacting a compound represented by the following general formula (III): ##STR14## wherein R.sub.1 and R.sub.2 are as defined above, with a haloacetyl halide in a solvent, such as pyridine or triethylamine.
If the compound of the general formula (III) contains another functional group capable of reacting with the haloacetyl halide, such a compound of formula (III) in which said another functional group is protected with a protecting group is reacted with the haloacetyl halide to form a Wittig reagent, and after the Wittig reaction, the protecting group is isolated whereby the intended compound can be obtained. For example, in the case where the compound of the general formula (XII) is piperazine, 1-formylpiperazine is used and the formyl group is finally isolated.
Process C
The compound of the general formula (I-2), prepared according to the above-mentioned process B, is reduced whereby a compound of the general formula (I-1) can be obtained.
If this reducing reaction is catalytically carried out, all the double bonds in the isoprene chain of the compound of the general formula (I-2) are reduced. When the reducing reaction is carried out by using sodium borohydride and a metal halide, only the double bond adjacent to the carbonyl group of the compound of the general formula (I-2) is reduced. These methods are appropriately chosen according to the compound intended to be obtained.
The catalytic reduction is accomplished in an inert solvent, such as tetrahydrofuran, benzene, toluene, dichloromethane, ethanol or dioxane, in the presence of a catalyst such as palladium-carbon or Raney nickel, while introducing hydrogen gas. The reduction with sodium borohydride and a metal halide is carried out in an alcoholic solvent, such as methanol or ethanol, in the presence of sodium borohydride and a metal halide, such as nickel chloride, cobalt chloride or copper chloride.
The compound of the present invention is valuable as an agent for treatment of liver dysfunction. The liver undergoes dysfunctions such as inflammation, degeneration, devastation, anacholia and abnormal saccharometabolism, which are caused by various factors such as alcohol, lack of nourishment, virus, chemical substances and toxins. The compound of the present invention exerts an effect of moderating or preventing these dysfunctions.
Results of the pharmacological tests made on various compounds included in the scope of the present invention will now be described.

The compounds C, D, I and M were separately suspended in 5% aqueous solutions of gum arabic and the test compositions were orally administered to rats of the Wistar series at a dose of 4000 mg/Kg. None of the rats died.
From the foregoing results, it will be readily understood that the compounds of the present invention have low toxicity and they can be used for treatment of liver dysfunction.
The compounds of the present invention can be administered either orally or non-orally, but oral administration is especially preferred. The daily dose for an adult is 50 to 2000 mg, preferably 200 to 600 mg. The compounds of the present invention can be administered in the form of a powder, a granule, a hard capsule, a tablet or a soft capsule. These unit dosage forms can be manufactured by using conventional carriers customarily used in the pharmaceutical industry.
