Description

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION

The present invention is concerned with certain trans-3-[3-(3-hydroxy-2-piperidyl)-2-oxopropyl]quinazolin-4(3H)-one derivatives, a method of using same as anticoccidial agents, intermediates therefor, and a process for certain intermediates therefor.

Coccidiosis, a poultry disease, is caused by several species of protozoan parasites of the genus Eimeria, such as E. acervulina and E. tenella. In particular, E. tenella is the causative agent of a severe and often fatal infection of the ceca of chickens which is manifested by extensive hemorrhage, accumulation of blood in the cecum (a pouch between the large and small intestines) and the passage of blood in the droppings. Essentially, coccidiosis is an intestinal disease which is disseminated by birds picking up the infectious organism in droppings on contaminated litter or ground. By damaging the intestinal wall, the host animal is unable to utilize its food, goes off its feed, and in untreated cases the disease terminates in either the death of the animal or the survival of unthrifty birds known commonly as "culls."

Several classes of compounds have been reported to be useful as anticoccidial agents. Among these are various 6-azauracil derivatives (Miller, U.S. Pat. No. 4,239,888; summarizing several additional classes); trans-3-[3-(3-hydroxy-2-piperidyl)-2-oxopropyl]-4(3H)-quinazolinone [febrifugine; The Merck Index, Tenth Edition, monograph No. 3881); and trans-7-bromo-6-chloro-3-[3-(3-hydroxy-2-piperidyl)-2-oxopropyl]-4-(3H)-quinazolinone (halofuginone; The Merck Index, Tenth Edition, monograph No. 4479). Such anticoccidial compounds are more broadly defined by Waletzky et al., U.S. Pat. No. 3,320,124 (Re. 26,833); and Jolly et al., U.S. Pat. No. 4,252,947. European Patent Application 98589 broadly discloses structurally related hydrazine derivatives of trans-3-[3-(3-hydroxy-2-piperidyl)-2-oxopropyl]quinazolin-4(3H)-ones as anticoccidial agents.

Structurally related compounds are also reported to be useful in combatting theileriosis in cattle (Schein, U.S. Pat. No. 4,340,596). Although not in any manner specifically disclosed, the broad genus of Schein can be selectively chosen so as to define instant 6-trifluoromethyl-3-[3-(3-hydroxypiperid-2-yl)-2-oxopropyl]quinazolin-4(3H)-one. The present anticoccidial activity of that novel species is most surprising in view of the fact that the isomeric 7-trifluoromethyl analog (also defined by Schein's broad genus) is lacking in instant anticoccidial activity.

Structurally related compounds, including broad generic disclosure of 3-[3-(3-hydroxy-2-piperidyl)-2-oxopropyl]quinazolin-4(3H)-ones substituted on the aromatic ring with halogen, trifluoromethyl, lower alkylthio, methoxy, phenoxy and benzyloxy groups, have also been disclosed as antimalarial agents by Baker et al., U.S. Pat. No. 2,694,711; see also Baker et al., U.S. Pat. Nos. 2,651,632 and 2,796,417 for compounds related to present intermediates. Although not in any manner specifically disclosed, a number of the instantly claimed compounds can be defined by said genera, once having knowledge of the present invention. While Baker et al. ('711) specifically disclose the 5-trifluoromethyl analog (isomeric with the present 6-trifluoromethyl analog), it is noteworthy that that compound is lacking in present anticoccidial activity.

SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION

Although above febrifugine and halofuginone are useful as anticoccidial agents, we have determined that a number of related compounds (for example, trans-3-[3-(3-hydroxy-2-piperidyl)-2-oxopropyl]quinazolin-4(3H)-ones substituted on the aromatic ring as follows:

6-phenoxy-7-chloro, 6-(4-hydroxyphenoxy)-7-chloro, 7-(4-bromophenoxy), 7-(4-bromophenoxy)-6-chloro, 5-methylthio, 6-(4-fluorobenzylthio)-7-chloro, 7-cyano, 5-trifluoromethyl, 7-trifluoromethyl, or 8-trifluoromethyl) are lacking in useful anticoccidial activity in poultry. In spite of such lack of activity, we have surprisingly discovered a number of compounds, very closely related in structure, which are highly active as anticoccidial agents, as determined by their activity against E. tenella.

Thus the present invention is directed to anticoccidial compounds having the formula ##STR1## wherein X is fluoro, chloro, bromo or iodo substituted at the 6- or 7-position;

R is (C.sub.1 -C.sub.4)alkylthio; X.sup.1 is hydrogen or fluoro, chloro, bromo, iodo or methoxy substituted either at the 7- or at the 8-position; and R.sup.1 is cyano, trifluoromethyl, (C.sub.1 -C.sub.4)alkylthio, 4-picolylthio, 3,5-dichlorophenoxy, ##STR2## where Y.sup.1 is hydrogen, fluoro, chloro, bromo or phenoxy; and Y.sup.2 is chloro or bromo; with the proviso that Y.sup.1 is other than hydrogen when X.sup.1 is other than hydrogen, or a pharmaceutically-acceptable acid addition salt thereof.

The compounds of the present invention are racemic (not optically active). The heavy and dotted bonds in the various formulae therefore indicate relative, not absolute, stereochemistry.

Pharmaceutically-acceptable acid addition salts include, but are not restricted to, those with HCl, HBr, H.sub.2 SO.sub.4, CH.sub.3 SO.sub.3 H, p-CH.sub.3 C.sub.6 H.sub.4 SO.sub.3 H, lactic acid, fumaric acid, citric acid and the like.

Most preferred compounds, because of their ease of preparation and high activity, are of the formula (I), particularly those compounds wherein R.sup.1 is methylthio and X.sup.1 is hydrogen, 7-fluoro, 7-chloro or 7-bromo.

The present invention also encompasses a method of controlling or preventing coccidiosis in poultry which comprises administering to said poultry an anticoccidially effective amount of a compound of the formula (I) in drinking water or in nutritionally-balanced feed.

Also claimed are valuable intermediates of the formula: ##STR3## wherein X, R, X.sup.1 and R.sup.1 are as defined above;

R.sup.2 is hydrogen, acetyl or (C.sub.1 -C.sub.4)alkyl; and R.sup.3 is hydrogen or COOR.sup.4 ; where R.sup.4 is allyl or (C.sub.1 -C.sub.4)alkyl; with the provisos that at least one of R.sup.2 and R.sup.3 is other than hydrogen, and that R.sup.3 is hydrogen when R.sup.2 is acetyl; and ##STR4## wherein X, R, X.sup.1 and R.sup.1 are as defined above.

In addition, we claim a process for preparing a compound of the formula ##STR5## wherein R is (C.sub.1 -C.sub.4)alkylthio;

R.sup.5 and R.sup.6 are each independently (C.sub.1 -C.sub.4)alkyl; X is fluoro, chloro, bromo or iodo; R.sup.7 is (C.sub.1 -C.sub.4)alkyl, 4-picolyl or ##STR6## Y.sup.2 is chloro or bromo; and X.sup.3 is fluoro, chloro, bromo or iodo substituted at the 3- or 4-position; which comprises:

(a) reaction of a compound of the formula ##STR7## with at least 2 molar equivalents of NH.sub.4 SCN in the presence of substantially 1 molar equivalent of Br.sub.2 in a reaction inert solvent comprising a (C.sub.1 -C.sub.4)alkanoic acid;

(b) solvolyzing the resulting compound having the formula ##STR8## with at least one equivalent of a nucleophile in a reaction inert solvent comprising water or a (C.sub.1 -C.sub.4)-alkanol; and

(c) reacting the resulting thiophenoxide, having the formula ##STR9## with a compound of the formula

R.sup.6 X.sup.4 or R.sup.7 X.sup.4 wherein X.sup.4 is a nucleophilically displaceable group, in the same or another reaction inert solvent to form a compound of the formula (VII) or (VIII).

The preferred nucleophile is an alkali metal alkoxide, particularly methoxide. The preferred solvent comprises methanol.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION

The compounds of the present invention are readily prepared by nucleophilic displacement: ##STR10## where in (III), (IV) and (IX), R.sup.2 and R.sup.4 are both defined as above but R.sup.2 is other than hydrogen, and Y.sup.3 is a nucleophilically displaceable group such as chloro, bromo, iodo or mesylate; followed by solvolytic or hydrolytic removal of the groups R.sup.2 and COOR.sup.4. Because of their ready availability, preferred compounds of the formula (IX) have Y.sup.3 as bromo, R.sup.2 as methyl and R.sup.4 as methyl or allyl.

The nucleophilic displacement reaction between compounds of the formulae (V) or (VI) and (IX) in all cases involves replacement of the leaving group, Y.sup.3, with a relatively non-nucleophilic nitrogen. For this reason it is essential to employ a base of sufficient strength to form the anion of the compound (V) or (VI) in an amount at least sufficient to neutralize all of the acid (HY.sup.3) coproduced in the reaction. Alkali metal (C.sub.1 -C.sub.4)alkoxides are well suited for this purpose. The reaction is generally carried out in a reaction inert solvent such as a lower alkanol, acetonitrile or dimethylformamide. The solvent should be less acidic than the compound (V) or (VI), so as to facilitate formation of the required anion. Sodium methoxide as base in methanol as solvent represent conditions particularly well suited for the present reaction. The temperature employed for this reaction is best kept below 40.degree. C. (e.g., temperatures in the range of 0.degree.-30.degree. C. are fully satisfactory). It should be high enough to provide a reasonable rate, but not so high as to lead to undue decomposition. As is well known in the art, rate will vary with the nature of the leaving group (e.g. rate: I>Br>Cl), the specific structure of the compound (V) or (VI), the concentration of reagents and the solvent. The reaction time should be such that the reaction is nearly complete [e.g. >95% conversion when equivalent amounts of the compounds (V) or (VI) and (IX) are employed] to maximize yields [e.g. reaction times 1 hour to several hours at ambient temperature are well suited when Y.sup.3 is bromo, the base is sodium methoxide, the solvent is methanol, and the concentration of compound (IX) is in the range 3-10% (w/v)]. Of course, complete reaction can be facilitated by use of an excess of one of the reagents, e.g. an excess of the compound (V) or (VI) when it is the more readily available of the two reagents.

The present nucleophilic displacement reactions produce compounds of the above formula (III) or (IV) wherein R.sup.2 is (C.sub.1 -C.sub.4)alkyl and R.sup.3 is COOR.sup.4 (where R.sup.4 is defined above). The groups R.sup.2 and COOR.sup.4 are readily removed, stepwise or in a single step, to produce the desired compounds of the formula (I) or (II). Thus the (C.sub.1 -C.sub.4)alkyl ether group is conveniently and selectively removed by the action of BBr.sub.3 in a reaction inert solvent at a temperature ranging from -70.degree. to 0.degree. C. Methylene chloride as solvent is particularly well suited for this purpose, since solutions of BBr.sub.3 therein are commercially available. This method produces intermediate compounds of the formula (III) or (IV) wherein R.sup.2 is hydrogen. The COOR.sup.4 group is then conveniently removed from the latter intermediates by briefly heating with concentrated aqueous HBr, e.g. heating in 48% HBr for 2 to 10 minutes at 80.degree.-150.degree. C.; heating in 6N HCl at or near reflux temperature; or concentrated HBr in glacial acetic acid at 0.degree.-30.degree. C. The latter process generally produces the compound (III) or (IV) wherein R.sup.3 is hydrogen and R.sup.2 is generally acetyl. The latter is removed by mild hydrolysis, e.g., 6N HCl at 10.degree.-30.degree. C.

Alternatively, the groups R.sup.2 and R.sup.3 are removed in reverse order, using 33% HBr in acetic acid at 10.degree.-30.degree. C. to remove the group R.sup.3, followed by heating at or near reflux in 48% aqueous HBr to remove the group R.sup.2 ; or both groups R.sup.2 and R.sup.3 are concurrently removed by use of the latter 48% HBr conditions.

The acid addition salts of the compounds of the present invention, if not directly isolated, for example, as the hydrobromide salt directly from the reaction mixture, are obtained by contacting the free base with at least one equivalent of the appropriate acid in a reaction inert solvent. Those salts which do not precipitate directly are isolated by concentration and/or the addition of a non-solvent. Conversely, the free base form is conveniently formed from an acid addition salt by neutralization of the latter in water with recovery of the free base by filtration or extraction into a water immiscible organic solvent.

The required starting compounds of the formula (V) or (VI) are generally prepared by methods known in the chemical art. Some of the required starting 2-aminobenzoic acids or esters required in the synthesis of the compounds (V) and (VI) are known, or accesible by known methods. Others, in particular those of the above formula (VII) or (VIII) are now more practically accessible via the presently discovered, improved process for their preparation, as summarized above and as detailed in specific preparations below.

The cocciodiostatic activity of the compounds of the present invention is demonstrated as follows. Groups of chicks (e.g. groups of five ten-day old SPF white Leghorn cockerels) are fed a nutritionally complete basal ration into which the test compound is incorporated at various concentrations. The basal ration is generally a commercial chick starter (e.g. Agway Commercial Chick Starter, available from the Agway Feed Co., Franklin, Conn.), and is presented ad libitum to the chicks 24 hours before infection and continuously thereafter throughout the course of the tests.

Twenty-four hours after initiation of the medication the chicks are inoculated orally with 100,000 sporulated oocysts (Eimeria tenella) and the average weight per bird per group determined. In addition, a group of six chicks is fed the basal ration which contains none of the test compound (infected, untreated controls). A further group of six chicks serves as uninfected, untreated controls. The chicks are examined on the fifth and sixth day post-infection for signs of hemorrhage. On the sixth day post-infection, the average body weight per bird per group is determined, the birds necropsied, the cecum examined macroscopically, and a pathology index (average degree of infection [A.D.I.]) determined. Chicks which die prior to the fifth day post-infection are considered as toxic deaths. Those which die five days post-infection or later are considered as deaths due to disease. The degree of pathologic involvement at necropsy is expressed as the average degree based on the following scheme: 0=no cecal lesions; 1=slight lesions; 2=moderate lesions; 3=severe lesions; 4=death.

The efficacy of the test compound, at a given level in feed, is judged by comparison of the pathologic index with that of the unmedicated infected controls, expressed as the ratio: ##EQU1## Against E. tenella, the compounds of the present invention generally show a value of said ratio no higher than 0.6 at a feed concentration no higher than 25 p.p.m. The typical range of results obtained with the compounds of the present invention are illustrated as follows:

______________________________________ Ratios at FeedCompound Concentration (ppm)(I)/(II) X/X.sup.1 R/R.sup.1 25 12.5 6.25 3.12______________________________________(II) 7-Cl 6-(4-FC.sub.6 H.sub.5 O) 0.0 0.0 0.33 0.67(I) 6-Cl 8-SCH.sub.3 0.0 0.32 0.73 0.95(II) 7-Br 6-SC.sub.2 H.sub.5 0.10 0.33 1.0 1.0(II) H 6-(3,5-Cl.sub.2 C.sub.6 H.sub.3 O) 0.10 0.95 1.27 1.05______________________________________ It will be noted that a ratio of 0.0 indicates 100% control of pathology due to the infection at the indicated feed concentration.

The compounds of this invention are orally administered to poultry in a suitable carrier. Conveniently, the medication is simply carried in the drinking water or in the poultry feed, so that a therapeutic dosage of the agent is ingested with the daily water or poultry ration. The agent can be directly metered into drinking water, preferably in the form of a liquid, watersoluble concentrate (such as aqueous solution of a water soluble salt) or added directly to the feed, as such, or in the form of a premix or concentrate. A premix or concentrate of therapeutic agent in a carrier is commonly employed for the inclusion of the agent in the feed. Suitable carriers are liquid or solid, as desired, such as water, various meals (for example, soybean oil meal, linseed oil meal, corncob meal), and mineral mixes such as are commonly employed in poultry feeds. A particularly effective carrier is the poultry feed itself; that is, a small portion of poultry feed. The carrier facilitates uniform distribution of the active materials in the finished feed with which the premix is blended. This is important because only small proportions of the present potent agents are required. It is important that the compound be thoroughly blended into the premix and, subsequently, the feed. In this respect, the agent may be dispersed or dissolved in a suitable oily vehicle such as soybean oil, corn oil, cottonseed oil, and the like, or in a volatile organic solvent and then blended with the carrier. It will be appreciated that the proportions of active material in the concentrate are capable of wide variation since the amount of agent in the finished feed may be adjusted by blending the appropriate proportion of premix with the feed to obtain a desired level of therapeutic agent.

High potency concentrates may be blended by the feed manufacturer with proteinaceous carrier such as soybean oil meal and other meals, as described above, to produce concentrated supplements which are suitable for direct feeding to poultry. In such instances, the poultry are permitted to consume the usual diet. Alternatively, such concentrated supplements may be added directly to the poultry feed to produce a nutritionally balanced, finished feed containing a therapeutically effective level of one or more of the compounds of this invention. The mixtures are thoroughly blended by standard procedures, such as in a twin shell blender, to ensure homogeneity.

It will, of course, be obvious to those skilled in the art that the use levels of the compounds described herein will vary under different circumstances Continuous low-level medication, during the growing period; that is, during the first 6 to 12 weeks for chickens, is an effective prophylatic measure In the treatment of established infections, higher levels may be necessary to overcome the infection. The use level in feed will generally be in the range of 3 to 100 ppm. When administered in drinking water, the level which will be that which will provide the same daily dose of medication, i.e. 3 to 100 ppm, factored by the weight ratio of the average daily consumption of feed to the average daily consumption of water.

The present invention is illustrated by the following examples However, it should be understood that the invention is not limited to the specific details of these examples.

After 15 minutes, 1.00 g (0.003 mol) of allyl trans-2-(3-bromo-2-oxopropyl)-3-methoxy-1-piperidinecarboxylate in 10 ml of methanol was added dropwise. After 2 hours, the reaction mixture was evaporated under reduced pressure, and the residue treated with water. The aqueous solution was extracted three times with 75 ml of dichloromethane.
