Pyridazinedione compounds useful in treating neurological disorders

This invention relates to pyridazinedione compounds useful in the treatment of neurological disorders generally in mammals such as man. More specifically, the compounds are useful in the treatment of strokes and/or other neurodegenerative disorders such as hypoglycemia, cerebral palsy, transient cerebral ischemic attack, perinatal asphyxia, epilepsy, psychosis, Huntington's chorea, amyotrophic lateral sclerosis, Alzheimer's disease, Parkinson's disease, Olivo-pontocerebellar atrophy, vital-induced neurodegeneration such as in acquired immunodeficiency syndrome and its associated dementia, anoxia such as from drowning, spinal cord and brain trauma, and chronic pain, for the prevention of drug and alcohol withdrawal symptoms, and for the inhibition of tolerance and dependence to opiate analgesics. The invention particularly relates to novel pyridazinedione compounds useful in reducing neurological degeneration such as can be induced by a stroke and the associated functional impairment which can result. Treatment using a compound of the invention can be remedial or therapeutic as by administering a compound following an ischemic event to mitigate the effects of that event. Treatment can also be prophylactic or prospective by administering a compound in anticipation that an ischemic event may occur, for example in a patient who is prone to stroke.
It is known that ischemic events can trigger a dramatic increase in extracellular concentrations of the excitatory amino acids glutamate and aspartate which can, in turn, cause prolonged neuronal excitation leading to a massive influx of calcium from extracellular to intracellular sites in brain neural cells. A calcium overload can thereby be created which leads to a cascade of events leading to cell catabolism and eventually resulting in cell death. The N-methyl-D-aspartate (NMDA) receptor complex is believed to play a significant role in the cascade of events leading to cell necrosis following an ischemic event.
The compounds provided by this invention may be useful in a variety of neurodegenerative disorders because they function as excitatory amino acid antagonists. They may do so indirectly, via allosteric modulation of the glutamate binding site, specifically by acting as antagonists of the strychnine-insensitive glycine receptor on the NMDA receptor complex. They may also do so directly, by binding to the glutamate site itself on the NMDA receptor complex.

It will be appreciated that formulae IIa-IIh can be drawn in various tautomeric and positional isomeric forms, as discussed below. These particular are intended to include such alternate forms unless otherwise indicated, and also to include salts thereof, especially the pharmaceutically acceptable addition salts.
It will be appreciated by those skilled in the art that many of the compounds disclosed herein can exist and be drawn in various true tautomeric forms (i.e., for compounds corresponding to a compound of formula I) and positional isomeric forms (i.e., for compounds corresponding to an acylated or alkylated derivative of a compound of formula I), such as the generic formulae shown as formula III and formulae IIIa-IIIc which are tautomeric/positional isomeric forms of formulae I, I', and I" involving the pyridazino ring. For the sake of convenience, the term "tautomer", "tautomeric form", etc. is used hereinafter to refer to positional isomers as well as true tautomers. It is noted that tautomeric forms of these compounds can also exist when R.sup.3 is hydroxy, thiohydroxy, amino, or alkylamino, and examples are shown as formulae IIId and IIIe. It will be appreciated that any positional isomer corresponding to a compound of formulae IIIa-IIIe can exist depending on which true tautomeric form is alkylated or acylated. It is to be understood that all references to any particular structure are understood to include the various tautomeric and positional isomeric forms thereof unless otherwise stated.
It will further be appreciated by those skilled in the art that certain compounds of formula I contain an asymmetrically substituted carbon atom, and accordingly may exist in, and be isolated in, optically-active and racemic forms. In addition, it will be appreciated that certain compounds of formula I, for example, those containing a double bond, may exist in, and be isolated in, separate stereoisomeric forms (`E` and `Z`) about that group. Some compounds may exhibit polymorphism. It is to be understood that the present invention encompasses any racemic, optically-active, polymorphic or stereoisomeric form, or mixtures thereof, which form possesses properties useful in the treatment of neurodegenerative disorders, it being well known in the art how to prepare optically-active forms (for example, by resolution of the racemic form or by synthesis from optically-active starting materials) and individual `E` and `Z` stereoisomers (for example, by chromatographic separation of a mixture thereof) and how to determine neuroprotective properties by the standard tests described hereinafter.
The invention further provides a method for the treatment of neurological disorders, comprising administering to a mammal in need of such treatment an effective amount of a compound according to the invention as defined below, or a pharmaceutically acceptable salt thereof, or a composition as defined above.
While not wishing to be bound by theory, it is believed that for compounds according to the invention where R.sup.1 and/or R.sup.2 are acyl moieties, or for a compound which is otherwise an acylated derivative of a compound of formula I (including any of the various positional isomeric forms, as discussed further below), such compounds may not only be active on their own, but may also be active even though an acyl moiety (or two acyl moieties in the case of diacyl compounds) are cleaved in vivo. Alternatively, it may be possible that some acylated species are inactive per se, but that they become active after one or two acyl moieties are cleaved in vivo, and are thus acting as prodrugs.
In this specification the terms "alkyl" and "alkoxy" include both straight and branched chain radicals, but it is to be understood that references to individual radicals such as "propyl" or "propoxy" embrace only the straight chain ("normal") radical, branched chain isomers such as "isopropyl" or "isopropoxy" being referred to specifically.
The term "halo" is inclusive of fluoro, chloro, bromo, and iodo unless noted otherwise.

Pyridazinediones of formula I, alkylated and acylated derivatives thereof, can be made by processes which include processes known in the chemical arts for the production of structurally analogous compounds. Such processes for the manufacture of a pyridazinedione of formula I as defined above are provided as further features of the invention and are illustrated by the following procedures in which the meanings of generic radicals are as given above unless otherwise qualified. Such a process can be effected, generally,
(a) to obtain an alkylated compound of formula I, by treating a corresponding compound of formula I with a corresponding alkylating agent, such as a halide of formula R.sup.12 X wherein R.sup.12 has the value desired for R.sup.1 or R.sup.2 and X is a conventional leaving group such as chloro, bromo, or iodo. The reaction can be conducted in an appropriate solvent such as dimethylformamide and in the presence of a base such as an alkali metal (for example lithium, potassium, or sodium) carbonate, an alkali metal hydride, or an alkali metal alkoxide such as sodium methoxide or ethoxide;
(b) to obtain an acylated compound of formula I, by treating a corresponding compound of formula I with a corresponding acylating agent of formula R.sup.8 COX' wherein X' is a conventional leaving group such as halo (e.g., chloro), a group of formula OCOR.sup.8 (i.e., the acylating agent is a (symmetrical) anhydride) or 1-imidazolyl, for example. The reaction can be conducted in an appropriate solvent such as dimethylformamide, pyridine, acetic acid (especially if the acylating agent is an anhydride such as acetic anhydride) or tetrahydrofuran and in the presence of a base such as pyridine (if a different solvent is used) or triethylamine. The reaction can generally be conducted at a temperature of about room temperature to about 100.degree. C. In general, an excess of acylating agent is employed to obtain a monoacylated product (for example a threefold excess) and a larger excess (for example a tenfold excess) is employed to obtain a diacylated or triacylated product. When preparing di- and triacylated products, mixtures can be obtained. The various components can be separated by conventional separation techniques such as chromatography and recrystallization.

It is noted that, in general, when unsymmetrical hydrazines are employed, for example where R.sup.1 and R.sup.2 are different alkyl groups or where a monoalkyl hydrazine is employed, a mixture of alkylated products will be obtained. Such mixtures are separable by standard (for example chromatographic or recrystallization) techniques known to the art and used for the purpose.

If not commercially available, the necessary starting materials for the procedures such as that described above may be made by procedures which are selected from standard organic chemical techniques, techniques which are analogous to the synthesis of known, structurally similar compounds, or techniques which are analogous to the above described procedure or the procedures described in the examples.
A suitable compound of formula I for use in a process as described in (a), (b) or (e) above, can be obtained by reacting a corresponding diester of formula IV with (unsubstituted) hydrazine.
A compound prepared by acylating a compound of formula I with an acylating agent having a value for R.sup.8 of NR.sup.g.sub.2 can be made by treating a compound of formula I wherein R.sup.3 is amino with a carbamoyl halide having the formula XCONR.sup.g.sub.2, wherein X is halogen. Carbamoyl chlorides are preferred. Alternatively, a desired compound wherein one of the values of R.sup.g is hydrogen and the other value is non-hydrogen can be made by treating a compound of formula I, wherein R.sup.3 is amino, with an isocyanate having the formula R.sup.g NCO. Reaction to make the desired compound of formula I can be conducted in a suitable solvent such as dimethylformamide and at a temperature generally in the range of 85.degree.-115.degree. C.
Certain diesters of formula IV for use in a process as described in (b) above, or for use in reacting with unsubstituted hydrazine to make a compound of formula I for use in (a), can be made by treating a compound of formula V with a suitable base, such as an alkali metal alkoxide (e.g., potassium t-butoxide) in a suitable solvent such as t-butanol to effect ring closure and thereby yield the desired diester. In said compound of formula V the value of Y corresponds to the following to yield a corresponding value for R.sup.3 as noted:
a. CHO if a value for R.sup.3 of hydrogen is desired;
b. COOR.sup.15 wherein R.sup.15 is (C1-C3)alkyl if a value for R.sup.3 of hydroxy (or the tautomerically equivalent oxo) is desired; (It is noted that higher alkyl esters can be employed, but they do not provide any synthetic advantage.)
c. CSOR.sup.15 or CSSR.sup.15 if a value for R.sup.3 of thiohydroxy (SH) is desired; and
d. CN if a value for R.sup.3 of amino is desired. The compound of formula V need not be isolated to make the corresponding compound of formula IV. Rather the diester of formula IV can be made in a one-pot process without separating the compound of formula V from the reaction mixture.
A diester of formula IV wherein R.sup.3 is hydroxy (or oxo) can also be made by treating an isatoic anhydride of formula VII directly with a sodium or potassium salt of a (C1-C3)dialkyl (e.g. diethyl) ester of 2-oxosuccinic acid in a suitable solvent such as dimethylformamide.
A diester of formula IV wherein R.sup.3 is thiohydroxy can be made by treating a corresponding diester of formula IV wherein R.sup.3 is hydroxy with Lawesson's reagent, 2,4-bis(4-methoxyphenyl)-1,3-dithia-2,4-diphosphetane-2,4-disulfide, in a suitable solvent such as toluene or dimethoxyethane and at a temperature in the range of 50.degree.-110.degree. C.
A diester of formula IV wherein R.sup.3 is alkoxy, thioalkoxy, or alkylamino can be made by alkylating a corresponding diester of formula IV wherein R.sup.3 is, respectively, hydroxy, thiohydroxy, or amino. The reaction can be conducted with a suitable corresponding alkylating agent such as an alkyl halide and in a suitable solvent such as dimethylformamide and in the presence of a base such as an alkali metal carbonate. Analogous diesters having values of R.sup.3 other than alkoxy can be made using corresponding alkylating agents to conduct analogous reactions. For example, if a compound having a value for R.sup.3 of ethoxycarbonylmethoxy is desired, it can be made by alkylating a corresponding compound of formula IV wherein R.sup.3 is hydroxy with an alkylating agent having the formula CH.sub.3 CH.sub.2 OOCCH.sub.2 X, wherein X is halogen.
A 2,3-bishydrazinocarbonylquinoline of formula IVa can be obtained by reacting an excess of hydrazine with a corresponding diester of formula IV under mild conditions in a suitable solvent (for example, a lower alcohol such as ethanol) and at a temperature of about 20.degree. to about 50.degree. C.
An imide of formula IVb can be made by treating a diester of formula IV, wherein the value corresponding to R.sup.3 is a halo group such as chloro or bromo, with ammonia.
A compound of formula V, wherein Y is CN, CHO, COOR.sup.15, CSOR.sup.15 or CSSR.sup.15 can be made by treating a corresponding ortho amine of formula VI with a dialkyl acetylenedicarboxylate, such as dimethyl acetylenedicarboxylate, in a suitable solvent such as a (C1-C4)alcohol. As solvent, t-butanol is preferred.
An ortho amine of formula VI, wherein Y is COOR.sup.15, can be made by esterifying a corresponding acid of formula VIa by conventional methods. An acid of formula VIa can in turn be made by a deprotecting a corresponding compound of formula VIb wherein the amino group has been protected with a conventional protecting group Pr (such as tert-butoxycarbonyl, t-BOC). A compound of formula VIb can in turn be made by sequentially reacting an amide of formula VIc first with two equivalents of an organolithium compound (for example t-butyllithium) to form a dilithiated species which can be carboxylated by reacting with carbon dioxide. An amine of formula VIc can be prepared by protecting a corresponding (unprotected) amine by conventional methods.
An ortho amine of formula VI, wherein Y is COOR.sup.15, can also be made by a process which differs from that described immediately above in that the esterification step is effected by using a base (for example, sodium hydride) followed by an alkylating agent R.sup.15 X on the protected acid of formula VIb rather than on the acid of formula VIa.
An ortho amine of formula VI, wherein Y is COOR.sup.15, can also be made by treating a corresponding isatoic anhydride of formula VII with base (such as an alkali metal hydroxide) in alcoholic solvent of formula R.sup.15 OH.
An isatoic anhydride of formula VII can be made by treating an isatin of formula VIII with chromium trioxide in the presence of acetic anhydride, or with a peroxycarboxylic acid such as the magnesium salt of monoperoxyphthalic acid, and in a suitable solvent such as acetic acid.
An isatin of formula VIII can be made by cyclizing a hydroxyimino acetamide of formula IX in concentrated sulfuric acid at a temperature of 60.degree.-80.degree. C.
A hydroxyimino acetamide of formula IX can be made by treating an amine of formula X with chloral hydrate in the presence of sodium sulfate and hydroxylamine hydrochloride and in a suitable solvent such as water.
It is noted that many of the starting materials for synthetic methods as described above are commercially available and/or widely reported in the scientific literature.

In general, a compound of according to the invention will be administered to a warm blooded animal (such as man) so that an effective dose is received, generally a dose in the range of about 0.01 to about 100 mg/kg body weight. For example, if the compound is administered intravenously, it is administered in the range of about 0.01 to about 10 mg/kg body weight. If it is administered orally, it is administered in the range of about 0.5 to about 100 mg/kg body weight.
It will be apparent to those skilled in the art that a compound according to the invention can be co-administered with other therapeutic or prophylactic agents and/or medicaments that are not medically incompatible therewith. Compounds within the scope of the invention do not show any indication of untoward side-effects in laboratory test animals at several multiples of the minimum effective dose.
The actions of compounds according to the invention as antagonists at the glycine receptor of the NMDA receptor complex can be shown by one or more standard tests such as the �.sup.3 H!-glycine binding assay (Test A), by functional assays in vitro such as tests for measuring glutamate-evoked contractions of the guinea pig ileum (Test B) and/or tests for measuring antagonism of of NMDA-induced evoked response in hippocampal slices (Test C), and by tests in vivo such as ischemia induced by carotid occlusion in the gerbil model (Test D).
Test A
In the �.sup.3 H!-glycine binding assay, neuronal synaptic membranes are prepared from adult (about 250 g) male Sprague-Dawley rats. Freshly dissected cortices and hippocampi are homogenized in 0.32M sucrose (110 mg/mL). Synaptosomes are isolated by centrifugation (1000.times.g, 10 min), the supernatant is pelleted (20,000.times.g, 20 min) and resuspended in double-distilled water. The suspension was centrifuged for 20 minutes at 8,000.times.g. The resulting supernatant and buffy coat are washed twice (48,000.times.g, 10 mins, resuspension in double-deionized water). The final pellet is quickly frozen (dry ice/ethanol bath) under double-deionized water and stored at -70.degree. C.
On the day of the experiment, thawed synaptic membranes are homogenized with a Brinkmann Polytron (tm, Brinkmann Instruments, Westbury, N.Y.) tissue homogenizer in 50 millimolar tris(hydroxymethyl)aminomethane citrate, pH 7.1. The membranes are incubated with 0.04% Sufact-AMPS X100 (tm, Pierce, Rockford, Ill.) in buffer for 20 minutes at 37.degree. C. and washed six times by centrifugation (48,000.times.g, 10 min) and resuspended in buffer. The final pellet is homogenized at 200 mg wet weight/mL of the buffer for the binding assay.
For �.sup.3 H!-glycine binding at the N-methyl-D-aspartate receptor, 20 nanomolar �.sup.3 H!-glycine (40-60 Ci/mmol, New England Nuclear, Boston, Mass.) is incubated with the membranes suspended in 50 millimolar tris (hydroxymethyl)aminomethane titrate, pH 7.1 for 30 minutes at 4.degree. C. Glycine, 1 millimolar, is used to define the nonspecific binding. Bound �.sup.3 H!-glycine is isolated from free using a Brandel (Biomedical Research and Development Laboratories, Gaithersburg, Md.) cell harvester for vacuum filtration over glass fiber filters (Whatman GF/B from Brandel, Gaithersburg, Md.) presoaked in 0.025% polyethylenimine. The samples retained on the glass fiber filters are rinsed 3 times with a total of 2.5 mL ice cold buffer. Radioactivity is estimated by liquid scintillation counting. IC.sub.50 values are obtained from a least-squares regression of a logit-log transformation of the data. Typical IC.sub.50 values for compounds of the invention are usually less than 100 .mu.M (micromolar) and are illustrated by the compound of Example 2 (IC.sub.50 =0.24 .mu.M), Example 4 (IC.sub.50 =0.08 .mu.M), and Example 11 (IC.sub.50 =8.5 .mu.M)
Test B
For glutamate-evoked contractions of the guinea pig ileum, the methodology is as described previously (Luzzi et. al., Br. J. Pharmacol., 95, 1271-1277 (1989)). The longitudinal muscle and associated myenteric plexus are removed and placed in oxygenated modified Krebs-Henseleit solution (118 millimolar NaCl, 4.7 millimolar KCl, 2.5 millimolar CaCl.sub.2, 1.2 millimolar KH.sub.2 PO.sub.4, 25 millimolar NaHCO.sub.3, and 11 millimolar glucose). Tissues are suspended on glass rods in organ baths under a resting tension of 0.5 g. After an initial depolarization with 80 millimolar potassium ion to remove possible blockade of the NMDA receptor channel complex with magnesium, twitch responses are evoked with 100 micromolar glutamate. Isometric mechanical responses are recorded. Tissues are equilibrated for at least 2 hours prior to addition of compounds.
A dose response curve for the effect of the unknown on the magnitude of the glutamate-evoked contractions is generated. Glutamate-evoked contractions are generated at 20 minute intervals, with the test compound added 5 minutes before the glutamate. The magnitude of the contraction with each dose of the unknown is expressed relative to the control, the third contraction evoked by 100 micromolar glutamate alone in the same tissue bath. The IC.sub.50 is obtained from a least-squares regression of a logit-log transformation of the data.
After the last contraction for the dose-response curve, 100 micromolar glycine is added to the bath 10 minutes after the previous addition of glutamate. Ten minutes later the estimated IC.sub.50 to IC.sub.70 dose of the test compound is added and 10 minutes later glutamate is used to evoke the contraction. The "glycine reversal" is the ability of glycine to compete with the unknown and to prevent the inhibition previously seen by the dose of the unknown. Typical IC.sub.50 values are usually less than 1000 .mu.M and are illustrated by the compound of Example 2 (IC.sub.50 =2.1 .mu.M), Example 4 (IC.sub.50 =2.3 .mu.M), and Example 11 (IC.sub.50 =86 .mu.M).
Test C
The characterization of a compound as a glycine antagonist in the hippocampal slice test (HST) is dependent on (1) the ability of the compound to inhibit NMDA receptor-mediated synaptic transmission in hippocampal slices and (2) the subsequent reversal of these inhibitory effects by D-serine. All the experiments are carried out under conditions of low magnesium ion (Mg++) in order to unmask the NMDA receptor, which at normal Mg++ levels is blocked and therefore does not participate in synaptic transmission.
The procedure for the HST is as follows. Transverse hippocampal slices are obtained from male Sprague-Dawley rats weighting 80-150 gm. The rats are decapitated and the brains quickly removed and placed in cold Krebs-Ringer solution which contains (in millimolar) NaCl (122.6), NaHCO.sub.3 (26.2), KCl (5.4), MgSO.sub.4 (2.0), NaH.sub.2 PO.sub.4 (1.2), CaCl.sub.2 (2.0), and D-glucose (10.0). The hippocampus is dissected free from surrounding tissues, and 495 micron thick slices are cut and immediately transferred to a humidified static interface chamber with a 95% 0.sub.2 :5% CO.sub.2 atmosphere at room temperature. Following a 1-hour equilibration period, slices are placed one at a time into a small perfusion chamber where they are completely submerged in continuously flowing oxygenated 2 millimolar Mg++ perfusate (4 mL/min) at 33.degree. C. and allowed to equilibrate for 10 to 15 min.
For the electrophysiology part of the experiments, bipolar tungsten stimulating electrodes are positioned in the stratum radiatum of the CA3 cell body region of the hippocampus and a single-barrel glass microelectrode filled with Krebs-Ringer solution is positioned in the CA1 cell body region. Low frequency stimulation is then applied to area CA3 which evokes a primary population spike (PS) recorded from CA1. The primary PS represents the summation of a multiple of synaptic potentials mediated via the quisqualate receptor. The stimulus intensity is adjusted to evoke a PS of 1-4 mV amplitude and is maintained at this intensity throughout the experiment.
When the perfusion medium is then changed from 1 millimolar Mg++ to one containing 0 Mg++, the primary PS is followed by the appearance of many secondary PSs. The appearance of the secondary PSs are attributed to the unmasking of NMDA-mediated synaptic events in 0 Mg++. By bathing hippocampal slices in 0 Mg++, drug effects can be qualitatively assessed by measuring the ability of a compound to inhibit the secondary PSs. The effects of directly acting NMDA and indirectly acting NMDA (ie, glycine) receptor antagonists can also be differentiated by the ability of D-serine to reverse this inhibition. Thus, glycine antagonists, such as 7-chlorokynurenic acid and HA-966, will inhibit the secondary PSs and this inhibition is reversed by D-serine, a glycine agonist. In contrast, the inhibition produced by selective competitive NMDA receptor antagonists, such as CPP and APV, or non-competive NMDA receptor antagonists, such as PCP and MK-801, is not reversed by D-serine.
For a particular test compound the HST typically is evaluated at a multiple, for example a multiple of 5, of the IC.sub.50 concentration obtained in Test B, it being ascertained that the test compound exhibits glycine antagonism at the concentration employed. The HST is accordingly confirmatory of Test B. Typical concentration results are illustrated by the compound of Example 2 (5 .mu.M, antagonist, reversed by D-serine).
Test D
When testing in vivo using the gerbil ischemic model, adult female Mongolian gerbils (50-70 g) are anesthetized with 2 to 3% halothane. The bilateral common carotid arteries at the neck are exposed and occluded with microaneurysm clips. After 10 min (unless specified), the clips are removed and the blood flow through the carotid arteries is restored and the skin is sutured. Test compounds are administered intraperitoneally both pre- and post-occlusion, for example 45 minutes before and 5 minutes after occlusion of the carotid arteries. Sham-operated animals are treated in the same manner except that the arteries are not clamped. Gross behavioral observations along with motor activity are recorded for 2 hr on the first (24 hr) day following the occlusion. After 4 days, subjects are sacrificed (decapitation), brains are removed, fixed, sectioned and stained with hematoxylin/eosin and cresyl violet.
The brain sections are rated for neuronal damage in the hippocampus using the following rating scale:
0=undamaged, normal
1=slight damage (up to 25%)--restricted to CA1/subiculum border
2=moderate damage (up to 50%)--obvious damage, restricted to less than half of CA1 field
3=marked damage (up to 75%)--involving greater than half of CA1 field
4=damage extending beyond CA1 field
Sections (7 micron) are evaluated from each brain. Occasionally, asymmetrical damage may be noted and the rating assigned is the average score of the two sides. The average brain damage rating score for each group is recorded, and the damage scores of the drug treated group are compared to the vehicle-treated group using Wilcoxon-Rank Sum test.
Typical values in this test for compounds according to the invention are illustrated by the following results: Over 70% neuroprotection (relative to sham-operated control) for the compounds of Example 2 and Example 4, and over 60% neuroprotection for the compound of Example 11, when each compound was administered intraperitoneally (ip) at a level of 10 mg/Kg body weight according to the above regimen.

EXAMPLE 72
The following illustrate representative pharmaceutical dosage forms containing a compound of formula I, or a pharmaceutically acceptable sal thereof, for example as illustrated in any of the previous Examples, (hereafter referred to as "compound X"), for thereapeutic or prophylactic use in humans:
(a) Tablet
______________________________________ mg/tablet______________________________________Compound X 50.0Mannitol, USP 223.75Croscarmellose sodium 6.0Maize starch 15.0Hydroxypropylmethylcellulose (HPMC), USP 2.25Magnesium stearate 3.0______________________________________
(b) Capsule
______________________________________Compound X 10.0Mannitol, USP 488.5Croscarmellose sodium 15.0Magnesium stearate 1.5______________________________________
The above formulations may be obtained by conventional procedures well known in the pharmaceutical art. The tablets may be enteric coated by conventional means, for example to provide a coating of cellulose acetate phthalate.
EXAMPLE 73
This is an example of a formulation suitable for parenteral use made with the compound of Example 2:
______________________________________Parenteral Formulation: mg/mL______________________________________Compound 10.0Meglumine 19.5Dextrose, anhydrous 39.5Sterile Water for Injection qs ad 1 mL______________________________________
The solution was prepared by conventional measures well known in the pharmaceutical field.
General formulations for this class of compounds and their salts, other than for acylated compounds, may be prepared by solubilizing the active compound in an aqueous meglumine (N-methyl-glucamine) solution containing an equimolar, or if solubilization is difficult, a molar excess of meglumine relative to Compound. Choline salts are preferred for use in making formulations. Excipients such has dextrose may be added to adjust the osmolality of the formulation. Water for Injection is added to bring the solution to final volume. Alternately, other amine bases such as tromethamine or l-arginine may be used to solubilize the active compound.
EXAMPLE 74
A formulation is made as in Example 73, except that the choline salt of Compound X is used in place of the compound of Example 2.
EXAMPLE 75
A formulation is made comprising a 5% aqueous solution of dextrose made to 10 mg/mL in the choline salt of Compound X. ##STR1##
