Description
This invention relates to novel pyrimidone derivatives having a selective action on histamine receptors, to processes for the preparation thereof, to pharmaceutical compositions containing them and to their use in therapeutics.
Certain novel heterocyclic derivatives have now been found which are potent and selective H.sub.2 -antagonists. These compounds, which are more particularly described below, for example show inhibition of the secretion of gastric acid when this is stimulated via histamine receptors (Ash and Schild, Brit. J. Pharmacol. Chemother, 1966, 27, 427). Their ability to do so can be demonstrated in the perfused rat stomach using the method described in German Offenlegungsschrift No. 2,734,070, modified by the use of sodium pentobarbitone (50 mg/kg) as anaesthetic instead of urethane, and in conscious dogs equipped with Heidenhain pouches using the method described by Black et al, Nature 1972 236, 385. Furthermore the compounds antagonise the effect of histamine on the contraction frequency of isolated guinea pig right atrium but do not modify histamine induced contractions of isolated gastro-intestinal smooth muscle which are mediated via H.sub.1 -receptors.
Compounds with histamine H.sub.2 -blocking activity may be used in the treatment of conditions where there is a hypersecretion of gastric acid, particularly in gastric and peptic ulceration, as a prophylactic measure in surgical procedures, and in the treatment of allergic and inflammatory conditions where histamine is a known mediator. Thus they may be used for example, either alone or in combination with other active ingredients in the treatment of allergic and inflammatory conditions of the skin.
The present invention provides compounds of the general formula (I) ##STR2## and physiologically acceptable salts, hydrates and bioprecursors thereof, in which
R.sub.1 and R.sub.2 which may be the same or different, each represent hydrogen, alkyl, cycloalkyl, alkenyl, aralkyl alkynyl, or alkyl substituted by hydroxy, C.sub.1-3 alkoxy, amino, C.sub.1-3 alkylamino or di-C.sub.1-3 alky lamino or R.sub.1 and R.sub.2 together with the nitrogen atom to which they are attached form a 5 to 10 membered alicyclic heterocyclic ring which may be saturated or may contain at least one double bond, may be unsubstituted or may be substituted by one or more C.sub.1-3 alkyl groups, e.g. methyl, or a hydroxy group and/or may contain another heteroatom, e.g. oxygen or sulphur;
Alk represents a straight alkylene chain of 1-4 carbon atoms;
Q represents a furan or thiophen ring in which incorporation into the rest of the molecule is through bonds at the 2- and 5-positions, the furan ring optionally bearing a further substituent R.sub.5 adjacent to the group R.sub.1 R.sub.2 N Alk or Q represents a benzene ring in which incorporation into the rest of the molecule is through bonds at the 1- and 3- or 1- and 4-positions;
R.sub.5 represents halogen e.g. fluorine, chlorine or bromine, or C.sub.1-3 alkyl which may be substituted by a hydroxy or C.sub.1-3 alkoxy group;

V represents--CH--, --O-- or --S--;
p represents zero, 1, 2 or 3;
q represents zero, 1, 2 or 3;
the sum of P+q being 3 or less;
Ar represents an aromatic carbocyclic or heterocyclic group containing from 5 to 10 ring members, the heterocyclic group containing one or two hetero-atoms selected from nitrogen, oxygen and sulphur and when the aromatic carbocyclic group is phenyl, it being optionally substituted by one or more groups selected from the following: C.sub.1-3 alkyl, C.sub.1-3 alkoxy C.sub.1-3 alkyl, hydroxy, C.sub.1-3 alkoxy, methylenedioxy, halogen e.g. fluorine, chlorine or bromine, trifluoromethyl and di C.sub.1-3 alkylamino;
except that when n is zero and X is oxygen then Q represents a benzene or thiophen ring.
The term "alkyl" as a group or part of a group means that the group is straight or branched and has unless otherwise stated preferably 1 to 6 carbon atoms, and in particular 1 to 4 carbon atoms, e.g. methyl or ethyl, and the terms "alkynyl" and "alkenyl" mean that the group has preferably 3 to 6 carbon atoms.

The invention includes the compounds of formula (I) in the form of physiologically acceptable salts with inorganic and organic acids. Particularly useful salts include hydrochlorides, hydrobromides and sulphates; acetates, maleates and fumarates. The compounds and their salts may also form hydrates. The compounds of formula (I) can exhibit tautomerism and the formula is intended to cover all tautomers.
The compounds according to the invention, preferably in the form of a salt, may be formulated for administration in any convenient way and the invention includes within its scope pharmaceutical compositions containing at least one compound according to the invention adapted for use in human or veterinary medicine. Such compositions may be formulated in a conventional manner using one or more pharmaceutically acceptable carriers or excipients. Such compositions may also contain if required other active ingredients.
Thus the compounds according to the invention may be formulated for oral, buccal, topical, parenteral or rectal administration. Oral administration is preferred.
For oral administration, the pharmaceutical composition may take the form of for example, tablets, capsules, powders, solutions, syrups or suspensions prepared by conventional means with acceptable excipients. For buccal administration the composition may take the form of tablets or lozenges formulated in conventional manner
The compounds of the invention may be formulated for parenteral administration by bolus injection or continuous infusion. Formulations for injection may be presented in unit dosage form in ampoules, or in multi-dose containers with an added preservative. The compositions may take such forms as suspensions, solutions or emulsions in oily or aqueous vehicles, and may contain formulatory agents such as suspending, stabilising and/or dispersing agents. Alternatively, the active ingredient may be in powder form for reconstitution with a suitable vehicle, e.g. sterile pyrogen-free water before use.
The compounds of the invention may also be formulated in rectal compositions such as suppositories or retention enemas, e.g. containing conventional suppository bases such as cocoa butter or other glyceride.
For internal administration, a convenient daily dosage regime of the compounds according to the invention would be 1 to 6 doses to the total of some 10 mg to 2 g per day, e.g. 10 mg to 500 mg per day. The precise dosage employed will depend on the size and condition of the patient and on the route of administration.
The compounds according to the invention are, as mentioned above, potent antagonists of histamine at H.sub.2 -receptors, as is shown by their inhibition of secretion of gastric acid in the perfused rat stomach preparation. Certain compounds for example compounds of formula (I) in which R.sub.1 R.sub.2 N is (CH.sub.3).sub.2 N or pyrrolidino; Alk is CH.sub.2 ; Ar is 3-pyridyl or 4-pyridyl; Y is oxygen; V is CH.sub.2 ; p and q are both zero; and Q is a furan ring in which case n is 1, m is 2 and X is sulphur, or Q is a benzene ring in which incorporation into the rest of the molecule is through bonds at the 1- and 3-positions in which case n is zero, m is 3 and X is oxygen, are of particular interest since they show a long duration of action in the Heidenhain pouched dog. This long duration of action represents a particular advantage of the compounds of the present invention.
Preferred compounds are those of formula (I) in which:
(1) R.sub.1 R.sub.2 N represents an alkylamino (e.g. methylamino), dialkylamino (e.g. dimethylamino or ethylmethylamino) group, or a 5 to 7-membered ring without a further heterofunction, e.g. a piperidino or pyrrolidino group;
(2) n is 1, X is sulphur and m is 2 or 3 more particularly 2, or n is 1, X is oxygen and m is 3 or 4, more particularly 3, or n is zero, X is oxygen and m is 3;
(3) Y is oxygen;
(4) R.sub.4 is hydrogen and R.sub.3 represents the group (CH.sub.2)p V (CH.sub.2)q Ar where p is 0, 1 or 2, V is CH.sub.2 or oxygen and q is 0 or 1; more particularly p is 0, q is 0 and V is CH.sub.2.
(5) Ar is 2, 3 or 4-pyridyl, phenyl optionally substituted by alkoxy or by dialkylamino, or 3-quinolyl, more preferably Ar is 3 or 4-pyridyl;
(6) Q is furan or 1,3-benzene, more preferably 1,3-benzene, in and Alk is preferably CH.sub.2.
Further preferred compounds are those in which Ar is phenyl substituted by C.sub.1-3 alkoxymethyl in which case preferably p is 2, q is zero and V is oxygen, or those in which Ar is 3-indolyl. Other preferred compounds are those in which R.sub.3 is hydrogen and R.sub.4 is CH.sub.3 or those in which R.sub.3 is phenyl and R.sub.4 is hydrogen.
Particularly preferred compounds on account of their potency and/or prolonged duration of action are:

2-[[3-[3-[(1-piperidinyl)methyl]phenoxy]propyl]amino]-5-[(3-pyridinyl)methyl]-4(3H)-pyrimidinone
and their physiologically acceptable salts.
According to one embodiment the invention provides compounds of the general formula (I) and physiologically acceptable salts, hydrates and bioprecursors thereof, in which R.sub.1 and R.sub.2, which may be the same or different each represent hydrogen, alkyl, cycloalkyl, alkenyl, aralkyl or alkyl substituted by C.sub.1-3 alkoxy, C.sub.1-3 alkylamino or di C.sub.1-3 alkyl amino, or R.sub.1 and R.sub.2 together with the nitrogen atom to which they are attached form a saturated monocyclic 5 to 7 membered heterocyclic ring which may contain the further heterofunction --O--;
Alk represents CH.sub.2 ;
R.sub.3 represents --(CH.sub.2)p V (CH.sub.2)q Ar and R.sub.4 represents hydrogen;
Ar represents an aromatic heterocyclic ring containing from 5 to 10 ring members and containing one or two hetero-atoms selected from N, O and S or Ar represents phenyl which phenyl may be optionally substituted by one or more groups selected from the following: C.sub.1-3 alkyl, hydroxy, C.sub.1-3 alkoxy, methylenedioxy, halogen, trifluoromethyl, and di-C.sub.1-3 -alkylamino;
Q, R.sub.5, X, V, n,m,p,q and Y are as defined in formula (I);
except that n is not zero when X is oxygen and Q is a furan, substituted furan or thiophen ring and that X is not --CH.sub.2 -- when Q is a furan ring substituted by R.sub.5.
The compounds of formula (I) in which Y is .dbd.O may be made by reacting a compound of formula (II) ##STR3## in which R.sub.1, R.sub.2, Alk, Q and n are as defined in formula (I) and A represents:
--X(CH.sub.2).sub.m NH.sub.2, hydroxy or --X(CH.sub.2).sub.m L'
where X and m are as defined in formula (I) and L' is a leaving group, except that when A is hydroxy n must be 1, with an appropriate compound of formula (III) ##STR4## in which B represents a leaving group L, HX(CH.sub.2).sub.m NH-- or --NH.sub.2, where R.sub.3, R.sub.4 and m are as defined in formula (I) and X is --O-- or --S--. Examples of leaving groups L are thioalkyl and thioaralkyl and examples of leaving groups L' are halogen and acyloxy.
Thus a primary amine of the formula (IV) ##STR5## in which R.sub.1, R.sub.2, Alk, Q, X, n and m are as defined in formula (I) may be reacted with a pyrimidone of formula (V) ##STR6## in which R.sub.3 and R.sub.4 are as defined in formula (I) and L is a leaving group, for example thioalkyl or thioaralkyl, e.g. thiomethyl.
The reaction can be carried out with or without a solvent. Suitable solvents include alcohols, e.g. ethanol, and acetonitrile or the amine (IV) can act as a solvent. The reaction is preferably carried out at elevated temperature.
In another embodiment of this process a compound of formula (VI) ##STR7## in which R.sub.1, R.sub.2, Alk and Q are as defined in formula (I) and n is 1, may be reacted with a compound of formula (VII) ##STR8## in which X is S or O and m, R.sub.3 and R.sub.4 are as defined in formula (I). The reaction can be carried out by reacting the compounds (VI) and (VII) directly in the presence of an acid such as methane sulphonic acid or a mineral acid such as concentrated hydrochloric acid.
In a third embodiment of this process a compound of formula (VIII) ##STR9## in which R.sub.1, R.sub.2, Alk, Q, X, n and m are as defined in formula (I) and L' is a leaving group, such as halogen e.g. chlorine, or acyloxy e.g. acetyloxy, may be reacted with a compound of formula (IX) ##STR10## in which R.sub.3 and R.sub.4 are as defined in formula (I).
The compounds of formula (I) in which Y is oxygen may also be made by reacting a guanidine of formula (X) ##STR11## in which R.sub.1, R.sub.2, Alk, Q, X, n and m are as defined in formula (I), with a compound of formula (XI) ##STR12## in which R.sub.3 and R.sub.4 are as defined in formula (I) and R.sub.6 is alkyl, (e.g. ethyl), benzyl or phenyl.
The reaction can be carried out by heating the guanidine of formula (X) together with the compound of formula (XI), optionally in a solvent such as the alcohol corresponding to the ester function in compound (XI) i.e. R.sub.6 OH, at elevated temperature, preferably in the presence of base, e.g. the sodium alkoxide corresponding to the ester function in compound (XI) i.e. R.sub.6 ONa.
Compounds of formula (I) in which Y is sulphur may be prepared by reacting a compound of formula (I) in which Y is oxygen with phosphorus pentasulphide. The reaction may be carried out in a solvent such as pyridine at elevated temperature.
Where R.sub.1 and R.sub.2 are both hydrogen in intermediates in any of the above reactions, the primary amino function may be protected, for example as a phthalimido group. The protecting group may be removed at any suitable stage. In the case of a phthalimido group this may be cleaved using a primary amine, e.g. methylamine, or a hydrazine, e.g. hydrazine hydrate.
The amines of formula (IV) may be prepared as described in German Offenlegungsschrifts Nos. 2,734,070, 2,821,409 and 2,821,410 and in British published application No. 2006771, or by methods analogous to those described in these documents.
The intermediates of formula (X) may be made by treating an amine of formula (IV) with a compound of formula (XII) ##STR13## where P is a leaving group e.g. thiomethyl or 3,5-dimethylpyrazole.
The intermediates of formula (VII) may be made from those of formula (V) by reaction with an .omega.-aminoalkylthiol or .omega.-aminoalkanol.
The pyrimidones of formula (V) in which L is thioalkyl may be made by treating the corresponding thiol (L in formula (V) is SH) with an alkylating agent e.g. an alkylhalide or dialkylsulphate. The thiols can be made from compounds of formula (XI) by treatment with thiourea. Alternatively the pyrimidones of formula (V) in which L is thioalkyl may be prepared by treating the compounds of formula (XI) with the appropriate S-alkyl isothiouronium salt, e.g. S-methyl isothiouronium sulphate.
Where the product of any of the above processes is a free base and a salt is required, the salt may be formed in a conventional manner. Thus, for example, a generally convenient method of forming the salts is to mix appropriate quantities of the free base and the acid in an appropriate solvent(s), e.g. an alcohol such as ethanol or an ester such as ethyl acetate.
The invention is illustrated by the following examples.
