Pyridyl oxamic acid derivatives and use in the prevention of allergic reactions

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION
Atopic immediate sensitivity is the chief manifestation found in animals suffering from bronchial asthma, seasonal pollinosis (e.g. hay fever), allergic rhinitis, urticaria, allergic conjunctivitis, food allergies and anaphylactoid reactions. The substances most frequently responsible for clinically manifest sensitivities are plant pollen, animal feathers and danders, dust, milk and wheat, whether inhaled or ingested.
Atopic hypersensitivity is found in man, dog and other animals. Its occurrance is exceptionally found in the lower animals.
The presence of antibodies associated with atopic hypersensitivity reactions in the host serum is established by the passive sensitization of the skin of a normal recipient, after injection of serum from a sensitized host into a skin site followed by injection of antigen into the same area 24 hours later, resulting in a local hive. This is commonly referred to as the Prausnitz-Kustner (P-K) reaction.
The antibody associated with atopic hypersensitivity possesses distinctive features in that it does not in all forms precipitate with its antigen, fails to pass the placenta from mother to fetus, has special affinity for the skin, frequently lacks specificity toward an individual antigenic factor and is usually labile at about 56.degree. C. after 2 hours.
The homocytotropic antibody found in or induced in the rat is related in function and reaction to immunoglobulin E (reagin or IgE) found in the human. The correlation between homocytotropic antibody in the rat and IgE in the human has been established through the common effects obtained from chemical reactions, immunological reactions and drug responses in the two species hosting those antibodies. In the human, reagin is the antibody responsible for atopic immediate hypersensitive reactions. In the rat, the homocytotropic antibody is responsible for atopic immediate hypersensitive reactions.
In theory, reagin, influences the cell membrane of a mast cell by reacting with an antigen, to initiate the reaction(s) within the mast cell which ultimately releases a mediator such as Bradykinin, SRS-A (slow reacting substance-A), histamine and other unknown substances. The mediator effects a change in surrounding cell wall permeability permitting a rapid change in flow or exudance of mediator(s) from the cells, resulting in an allergic attack symptom. The various methods commonly employed to relieve the symptoms of allergic attack, none of which are considered to be quite acceptable, are to (1) avoid attack by the antigen, (2) block the production of antibody with an immunosuppressant, (3) block the action of the mediators on the cell under attack by administration of anti-histaminics, anti-5- hydroxy-tryptamines(5-HT) or anti-inflammatories, or (4) stimulate the cell under attack to negate the action of the mediator through the action of bronchodilators such as Isoprel.sup. .RTM. or a Xanthine.
The only compound known to date to operate as an anti-allergic by blocking reaction(s) within the mast cells, thereby preventing the production and release of mediators, is disodium cromoglycate (INTAL.sup. .RTM.).
Derivatives of oxamic acids have been employed in the past as intermediates for polymer formation and as tools for chemical research. Each of the known oxamic acid derivatives included as part of the new use aspect of this application is accompanied with a reference citation in the working examples, infra.
DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION
In accordance with this invention, there is provided a process for preventing the release of pharmacological mediators from an immediate hypersensitivity reaction between reaginic type antibodies and an antigen, thereby preventing the symptoms manifest in bronchial asthma, seasonal pollinosis, allergic rhinitis, urticaria, allergic conjunctivities, food allergy and anaphylactoid reactions of a sensitized animal, which comprises prophylactically administering to said animal an effective amount of a compound of the formula: ##STR3## in which a is a member selected from the group consisting of 2-thiazolyl; 2-pyridyl, 2-pyridyl-N-oxide, 3-(lower) alkyl-2-pyridyl, 6cyano-2-pyridyl, 3-pyridyl, 4-pyridyl, 2-pyrimidinyl, 2-pyrazinyl, .alpha.-naphthyl, .beta.-naphthyl, phenyl, 2,6-dichlorophenyl, and substituted phenyl moieties containing from one to three substituents in any of the 2,3,4 and 5 positions of the phenyl ring, independently selected from the group consisting of lower alkyl, lower alkylthio, lower alkylsulfinyl, lower alkoxy, hydroxy(lower) alkoxy, 2-(lower alkoxy oxalyloxy) ethoxy, benzyloxy, N-mono-and di-lower alkylaminoalkoxy, halo, sulfamyl, polyhalo(lower)alkyl, carbamyl, N-lower alkylcarbamyl, nitro, mono-and di-lower alkylamino phenylazo, carboxy, lower alkylcarbonyl, cyano, carb(lower)alkoxy, phenoxy(lower)alkoxy, lower alkoxyoxalamido and lower alkoxyoxalamidophenoxy radicals;

Of the described aromatic oxamic acid derivatives, the preferred aromatic compound aspect of this invention embraces those novel compounds reducing the wheal and flare manifestation in the tissue of a sensitive animal in an amount equal to or greater than 75 per cent of the allergic response. Those compounds present the following structural formula: ##STR9## in which R is lower alkoxy; and

Each of the compounds disclosed in this application has been demonstrated to relieve atopic allergic manifestations, when administered intraperitoneally to sensitized rats. Several of the compounds tested were found to be effective anti-allergy agents when administered orally to the sensitized animals.
The techinque employed to establish the anit-allergic activity of the disclosed compounds is reported in Immunology, vol. 16, pp. 749-760 (1969) and involves four male Charles River rats (200-250 grams body weight) per group to provide a control, a host for administration of a standard anti-allergic compound (disodium cromoglycate) and animals for the test compound. The rats were injected intracutaneously on their shaved backs with sera from rats immunized with egg albumin and pertussis vaccine. Twenty-four hours after the initial injections, the test compound is administered intraperitoneally or orally at a dosage level of 200 milligrams per kilogram host body weight. Five minutes later 1 milliliter of a 0.5 per cent solution of Evans blue dye and 8 milligrams of egg albumin is injected intravenously. After 40 minutes, the animal is sacrificed and the bleb size on its back is measured. The mean bleb size for the animals administered the test compound is calculated and the per cent inhibition is determined by comparison with the control animal. A representative number of the compounds were tested at dosage levels considerably below 200 milligrams per kilogram host body weight to establish the activity of the compounds at minimal concentrations as low as 3 milligrams per kilogram host body weight.
Although the mechanism by which the compounds of this invention function is not absolutely known, applicants have found that the compounds of this invention, in a manner believed to be similar to the function of INTAL.sup. .RTM., block reaction(s) in the mast cell leading to the production and release of mediators.
The compounds of this invention permit the occurrence of a non-productive antigen-antibody ineraction. They effectively block the IgE type reaction and have little or no effect on the other immunoglobulins such as IgG, IgM, IgA and IgD.
The compounds of this invention have no pharmacological response pattern similar to known anti-allergics in that they have no anti-hypertensive activity (no cardiovascular effect, etc.), they have no analgesic activity, they have no central nervous system activity, they have no immunosuppressive activity, they have no activity against histamine, serotonin, Bradykinin, etc. and they have no endrocrinological activity.
In sum, the compounds of this invention block the release of mediators commonly resulting from the antigen-antibody reaction as exemplified in a passive cutaneous anaphylaxis test (PCA) using rat homocytotropic antibody -- a known correlate of human reaginic antibody.
By analogy to disodium cromoglycate and its activity correlation between standard test animals, domestic animals and man, the compounds of this invention have been established as anti-allergic agents suitable for the same uses at analogous doses and through the same routes of administration as INTAL.sup. .RTM.. Several of the compounds of this invention have been found to be effective anti-allergic agents when administered orally. The orally active compounds of special interest are the lower alkyl pyridyloxamates their N-oxides, lower alkyl and cyano ring substituted derivatives (methyl, ethyl and propyl 2-pyridyloxamates, ethyl 4-pyridyloxamate, ethyl 3-pyridyl-oxamate), N-(2-pyridyl)oxamic acid N'-oxide ethyl ester, (6-methyl-2-pyridyl)oxamic acid ethyl ester, (3-cyano-2-pyridyl)oxamic acid ethyl ester, the lower alkyl pyrazinyloxamates (ethyl 2-pyrazinyloxamate), methyl, ethyl and i-propyl oxanilate, 1H-tetrazole-5-carboxanilide, ethyl 3'methyloxanilate, ethy 4'-methoxyoxanilate, ethyl and secondary butyl 2'-carbomoyl-3'-methoxyoxanilate, ethyl 4'nitro-3'-(trifluoromethyl) oxanilate and ethyl ester, (2-carbamoyl-3, 5-dimethoxyphenyl)oxamic acid ethyl ester, oxalic acid (2-[2 -aminocarbonyl-3 -ethoxy carbonylcarbonylaminophenoxy]ethyl) ethyl ester, [2-carbamoyl-3(2-hydroxyethoxy)phenyl]oxamic acid ethyl ester, 3-benzyloxy-2-carbamoylphenyl)oxamic acid ethyl ester, (4-dimethylaminophenyl)oxamic acid ethyl ester, (2-(aminocarbonyl)- 3-(dimethylamino)phenyl]oxamic acid ethyl ester, [ 2-carbamoyl- -(methylthio)phenyl]oxamic acid ethyl ester and [ (2-aminocarbonyl- 3-methylsulfinylphenyl)amino]oxo acetic acid ethyl ester.
Thus, there is provided herewith a method for suppressing allergic manifestations of atopic immediate sensitivity in warm-blooded human and non-human animals, the latter including domesticated animals such as the mouse, rat, hamster, gerbil, dog, cat, sheep, goat, horse, cow, and the like, by administering an effective amount of one or more of the compounds disclosed in this application by oral, topical, intraperitoneal, intramuscular or intravenous routes. Since the compounds of this invention afford no pharmacological response pattern similar to or antagonistic to common anti-allergics, they may be administered in conjunction with known compounds effecting anit-histaminic, anti-hypertensive, analgesic, central nervous system depressant, immunosuppressive, anti-serotonin, anti-Bradykinin or endocrinological responses. In addition, those conventional adjuvants known to the art may be combined with the anti-allergics of this invention to provide compositions and solutions for administrative purposes, although it is considered desirable and feasible to employ the anti-allergics as neat or pure compounds without additives other than for purposes of providing suitable pharmaceutical solution or liquid or vapor suspensions.
The effective dose range in test animals has been established to be from about 1.5 milligrams per kilogram to a dosage resulting in 100 per cent prevention of allergic responses at 5 milligrams per kilogram host body weight upon adminstration intraperitoneally. The oral dose range lies from about 1.5 milligrams per kilogram to 90 per cent prevention of allergic response at 200 milligrams per kilogram host body weight. As an inhalant the dose is from that of INTAL.sup. .RTM., (about 2milligrams) to 1/20th that quantity administered as needed prior to attack. Thus the dosage contemplated for human use based upon the potency of the compounds administered lies from about 100 milligrams to 1 gram, preferably 250 milligrams to about 750 milligrams in unit dosage form to be administered when necessary and to the degree of the desired response, in single or plural doses under the guidance of a physician.
The compounds of this invention have not been found to be toxic to mice, the standard experimental animal in toxicity studies of this nature, at any administered dose up to and in excess of 2 grams per kilogram host body weight. No toxic level has been found in other standard test animals. The anti-allergic compounds of this invention appear to be free from side effects common to other anti-allergics such as sedation, dizziness, depression, etc.
The aromatic and heterocyclic oxamic acid derivatives are generally prepared by reacion of an appropriately substituted aromatic amine or heterocyclic amine with an appropriately substituted oxalylchloride in the presence of an acid acceptor, such as pyridine, at ambient temperature. The technique employed in the prepaaration of each of the specically disclosed compounds is presented in the following working examples either in detail or by citation of the appropriate literature, the latter being incorporated herein by reference.
