Description

This invention relates to novel quinazoline derivatives and a process for the production thereof.

More particularly, the invention pertains to nove quinazoline derivatives represented by the formula, ##SPC3##

Wherein R.sub.1 and R.sub.2 are individually a hydrogen atom, a halogen atom, a lower alkyl group, a lower alkoxy group, a nitro group, a lower alkylthio group or a lower alkyl-sulfonyl group; R.sub.3 is a hydrogen atom, a lower alkyl group, a lower cycloalkyl group, a naphthyl group, a furyl group or a thienyl group; R.sub.4 is a lower cycloalkyl group or a trihalomethyl group; and n is an integer of 1 to 3.

In the compounds represented by the aforesaid formula (I), the term "alkyl" means both straight and branched chain aliphatic hydrocarbon radicals, and the lower alkyl group includes, for example, methyl, ethyl, n-propyl, isopropyl, n-butyl, isobutyl and tertiary-butyl groups; the lower alkoxy group includes, for example, methoxy, ethoxy, n-propoxy, isopropoxy, n-butoxy and tertiary-butoxy groups; the cycloalkyl group includes, for example, cyclopropyl, cyclobutyl, cyclopentyl, cyclohexyl, methyl cyclopropyl, dimethyl cyclopropyl and methyl cyclohexyl groups; and the trihalomethyl group includes, for example, trifluoromethyl, trichloroethyl, chloro-difluoromethyl and bromo-difluoromethyl groups. The alkylene group represented by C.sub.n H.sub.2n is a straight chain or branched chain alkylene group having 1 to 3 carbon atoms, and includes, for example, methylene, ethylene, 1-methylethylene, 2-methylethylene and trimethylene groups.

The quinazoline derivatives of the formula (I) have excellent pharmacological properties, particularly as anti-inflammatory and analgesic effects. Illustratively, 1-cyclopropylmethyl-4-(2'-thienyl)-6-chloro-2(1H)-quinaolinone and 1-cyclopropylmethyl-4-(2'-thienyl)-6-methoxy-2(1H)-quinazolinone show remarkable inhibitory action for carrageenin-induced edema in rat, while no toxic symptoms are observed and occult bleeding is negative in feces after oral administration of 1,000 mg/kg in rat. That is, the former inhibits the edeme by 58.6% at the dosage of 200 mg/kg (per os) and 66.0% at 400 mg/kg (per os), and the latter inhibits the edema by 59.8% at 200 mg/kg (per os) and 71.2% at 400 mg/kg (per os).

The compounds of the present invention can be administered orally or parenterally in therapeutic dosage forms with dosage adjusted to individual needs, that is, in solid or liquid dosage forms such as tablet, dragees, capsules, suspensions, solutions, elixirs and the like.

Thus, one object of the present invention is to provide novel quinazoline derivatives excellent in antiinflammatoy effects.

Another object of the present invention is to provide a process for producing such valuable quinazoline derivatives.

Other objects of the present invention will be apparent from the following description

In order to accomplish these objects, the present invention provides a process for producing quinazoline derivatives of the aforesaid formula (I), which comprises treating a trihaloacetamidophenylketone derivative represented by the formula, ##SPC4##

wherein R is a hydrogen atom or a group of the formula --C.sub.n H.sub.2n --R.sub.4 ; R.sub.1, R.sub.2, R.sub.3, R.sub.4 and n are as defined above; and X is a halogen atom, with ammonia.

The reaction may be carried out in the presence of a solvent. Examples of the solvent include methanol, ethanol, isopropanol, tertiary-butanol, 2-ethoxyethanol, chloroform, dichloroethane, tetrahydrofuran, dioxane, acetone, pyridine, benzene, toluene, dimethylsulfoxide and dimethylformamide and a mixture thereof. The ammonia is added to the reaction mixture as gaseous ammonia, alcoholic ammonia such as methanolic or ethanolic ammonia, liquid ammonia or ammonium salt (e.g. ammonium acetate, ammonium formate, ammonium carbamate, ammonium carbonate or ammonium phosphate) which is generating ammonia during the reaction. In case the ammonium salt is used, the reaction may be effected in the presence or absence of a base such as, sodium hydroxide, potassium hydroxide, potasssium carbonate, sodium methylate, sodium ethylate, potassium ethylate, triethylamine or pyridine. The reaction generally proceeds at room temperature, but the temperature may be higher or lower, if necessary, to effect the desired control of the reaction.

When R is a hydrogen atom in the formula (II), there are obtained 1-unsubstituted 2(1 H)quinazolinone derivatives represented by the formula, ##SPC5##

wherein R.sub.1, R.sub.2 and R.sub.3 are as defined above.

They can be further converted to the quinazoline derivatives of the formula (I) by contacting them with a reactive ester of a compound represented by the formula,

R.sub.4 --C.sub.n H.sub.2n -- OH (V) wherein R.sub.4 and n are as defined above. Examples of reactive esters include hydrohalic acid esters such as the chlorides, bromides and iodides and sulfonic acid esters such as p-toluenesulfonate, methanesulfonate and trichloromethanesulfonate.

The reaction may be carried out by reacting a compound of the formula (I-a) with a reactive ester of the compound of the formula (V) in the presence of an alkaline agent, or by contacting the compound of the formula (I-a) with an alkaline agent to form the metal salt and then contacting the resulting metal salt with a reactive ester of the compound of the formula (V).

Examples of the alkaline agents include alkali metal hydride such as sodium hydride or potassium hydride, alkali metal amide such as sodium amide or potassium amide, organolithium compound such as butyl lithium or phenyl lithium, alkali metal alkoxide such as sodium methoxide, potassium methoxide, sodium ethoxide, potassium ethoxide or potassium tertiary-butoxide and the like.

The reaction may generally be effected in an organic solvent or solvent mixture.

Suitable solvents include benzene, toluene, xylene, monochlorobenzene, dimethylacetamide, diethylacetamide, dimethylformamide, dioxane and dimethylsulfoxide.

The reaction may be carried out at a temperature within the range between about room temperature and the boiling point of the solvent employed.

The reaction is often accompanied by formation of the quinazoline derivative of the formula (VI), ##SPC6##

wherein R.sub.1, R.sub.2, R.sub.3, R.sub.4 and n are as defined above. The separation of the desired quinazoline derivative of the formula (I) from the quinazoline derivative of the formula (VI) may be effected in a conventional manner, illustratively by chromatography.

The trihaloacetamidophenylketone derivatives of the aforesaid formula (II), which are employed in the present invention, are novel compounds unknown in the prior art literature and are quite useful as starting materials. They can be easily prepared by reacting a 2-aminophenylketone derivative represented by the formula, ##SPC7##

wherein R.sub.1, R.sub.2, R.sub.3 and R are as defined above, with a trihaloacetic acid, or a reactive derivative thereof, represented by the formula, ##EQU1## wherein X is as defined above. Examples of the reactive derivative of the trihaloacetic acid include, for example, acid halides, esters and acid anhydrides. In practicing this process, the use of acid halides such as acid chlorides, acid bromides, is preferable. The reaction may be carried out in the presence or absence of a solvent with or without a condensing agent. The choice of the solvent depends on the trihaloacetic acid or its reactive derivative employed. Thus, the solvent which is inert to the two starting materials can be employed. The suitable solvent is selected from the group consisting of methanol, ethanol, ether, isopropyl ether, tetrahydrofuran, toluene, xylene, chlorobenzene, chloroform, methylene chloride, dichloroethane and the like. In case the reactive derivative of trihaloacetic acid or the condensing agent used is a liquid, the reaction may be carried out in the absence of the solvent. In case an acid halide is used as the reactive derivative, it is advantageous to carried out the reaction in the presence of a basic condensing agent. The condensing agent includes an inorganic base such as, sodium hydroxide, potassium hydroxide, sodium carbonate or potassium carbonate or an organic base such as pyridine, triethylamine or the like. Excess of the aforesaid aminophenylketone derivative of the formula (III) may also be used as the condensing agent. In case a free trihaloacetic acid is used, the suitable condensing agent are, for example, dicyclohexylcarbodiimide, N-cyclohexyl-N'-morpholinoethylcarbodiimide, phosphorus oxychloride, phosphorus trichloride or phosphorus pentachloride.

According to the above process, there are obtained, for example, the following quinazoline derivatives;

1-Cyclopropylmethyl-6-chloro-2(1H)-quinazolinone 1-Cyclopropylmethyl-6-nitro-2(1H)-quinazolinone 1 -Cyclopropylmethyl-6-methoxy-2(1H)-quinazolinone 1-Cyclopropylmethyl-4-methyl-2(1H)-quinazolinone 1-Cyclopropylmethyl-4-methyl-6-chloro-2(1H)-quinazolinone 1-Cyclopropylmethyl-4-methyl-6-nitro-2(1H)-quinazolinone 1-Cyclopropylmethyl-4-(n-propyl)-2(1H)-quinazolinone 1-Cyclopropylmethyl-4-isopropyl-2(1H)-quinazolinone 1-Cyclopropylmethyl-4-isopropyl-6-nitro-2(1H)-quinazolinone 1-Cyclohexylmethyl-4-isopropyl-6-nitro-2(1H)-quinazolinone 1-Cyclopropylmethyl-4-cyclohexyl-2(1H)-quinazolinone 1-Cyclopropylmethyl-4-cyclohexyl-6-chloro-2(1H)-quinazolinone 1-Cyclopropylmethyl-4-cyclohexyl-6-nitro-2(1H)-quinazolinone 1-Cyclopropylmethyl-4-cyclohexyl-6-methoxy-2(1H)-quinazolinone 1-Cyclopropylmethyl-4-cyclohexyl-7-nitro-2(1H)-quinazolinone 1-Cyclohexylmethyl-4-cyclohexyl-6-nitro-2(1H)-quinazolinone 1-Cyclopentylmethyl-4-cyclohexyl-6-nitro-2(1H)-quinazolinone 1-Cyclopropylmethyl4-(1'-naphthyl)-2(1H)-quinazolinone 1-Cyclopropylmethyl-4-(1'-naphthyl)-7-methyl-2(1H)-quinazolinone 1-Cyclopropylmethyl-4-(1'-naphthyl)-6-methoxy-2(1H)-quinazolinone 1-Cyclopropylmethyl-4-(2'-naphthyl)-6-methoxy-2(1H)-quinazolinone 1-Cyclopropylmethyl-4-(1'-naphthyl)-6-methylthio-2(1H)-quinazolinone 1-Cyclopropylmethyl-4-(1'-naphthyl)-6-methylsulfonyl-2(1H)-quinazolinone 1-Cyclohexylmethyl-4-(1'-naphthyl)-6-nitro-2(1H)-quinazolinone 1-Cyclopropylmethyl-4-(2'-furyl)-2(1H)-quinazolinone 1-Cyclopropylmethyl-4-(2'-furyl)-6-chloro-2(1H)-quinazolinone 1-Cyclopropylmethyl-4-(2'-furyl)-6-methyl-2(1H)-quinazolinone 1-Cyclopropylmethyl-4-(2'-furyl)-7-methyl-2(1H)-quinazolinone 1-Cyclopropylmethyl-4-(2'-furyl)-6-methoxy-2(1H)-quinazolinone 1-Cyclopropylmethyl-4-(2'-furyl)-6-nitro-2(1H)-quinazolinone 1-Cyclopropylmethyl-4-(2'-furyl)-6-methylthio-2(1H)-quinazolinone 1-Cyclopropylmethyl-4-(2'-furyl)-6-methylsulfonyl-2(1H)-quinazolinone 1-Cyclohexylmethyl-4-(2'-furyl)-6-nitro-2(1H)-quinazolinone 1-Cyclopropylmethyl-4-(2'-thienyl)-2(1H)-quinazolinone 1- Cyclopropylmethyl-4-(2'-thienyl)-6-chloro-2(1H)-quinazolinone 1-Cyclopropylmethyl-4-(2'-thienyl)-6-methyl-2(1H)-quinazolinone 1-Cyclopropylmethyl-4-(2'-thienyl)-7-methyl-2(1H)-quinazolinone 1-Cyclopropylmethyl-4-(2'-thienyl)-6,7-dimethyl-2(1H)-quinazolinone 1-Cyclopropylmethyl-4-(2'-thienyl)-6-methoxy-2(1H)-quinazolinone 1-Cyclopropylmethyl-4-(2'-thienyl)-8-methoxy-2(1H)-quinazoline 1-Cyclopropylmethyl-4-(2'-thienyl)-6-methoxy-8-methyl-2(1H)-quinazolinone 1-Cyclopropylmethyl-4-(2'-thienyl)-6-nitro-2(1H)-quinazolinone 1-Cyclopropylmethyl-4-(2'-thienyl)-6-methylthio-2(1H)-quinazolinone 1-Cyclopropylmethyl-4-(2'-thienyl)-6-methylsulfonyl-2(1H)-quinazolinone 1-(2'-Cyclopropylethyl)-4-(2'-thienyl)-6-nitro-2(1H)-quinazolinone 1-Cyclohexylmethyl-4-(2'-thienyl)-6-nitro-2(1H)-quinazolinone 1-(2', 2', 2'-Trifluoroethyl)-2(1H)-quinazolinone 1-(2', 2', 2'-Trifluoroethyl)-4-methyl-6-nitro-2(1H)-quinazolinone 1 -(2', 2', 2'-Trifluoroethyl)-4-isopropyl-6-methoxy-2(1H)-quinazolinone 1 -(2', 2', 2'-Trifluoroethyl)-4-cyclohexyl-2(1H)-quinazolinone 1 -(2', 2', 2'-Trifluoroethyl)-4-cyclohexyl-6-chloro-2 (1H)-quinazolinone 1 -(2', 2', 2'-Trifluoroethyl)-4-cyclohexyl-6-methoxy-2(1H)-quinazolinone 1 -(2', 2', 2'-Trifluoroethyl)-4-cyclohexyl-6-nitro-2(1H)-quinazolinone 1-(2',2', 2'-Trifluoroethyl)-4-(1'-naphthyl)-6-methoxy-2(1H)-quinazolinone 1-(2', 2',2'-Trifluoroethyl)-4-(2'-furyl)-2(1H)-quinazolinone 1-(2', 2', 2'-Trifluoroethyl)-4-(2'-furyl)-6-chloro-2(1H)-quinazolinone 1-(2', 2', 2'-Trifluoroethyl)-4-(2'-furyl)-6-methoxy-2(1H)-quinazolinone 1-(2', 2', 2'-Trifluoroethyl)-4-(2'-furyl)-6-nitro-2(1H)-quinazolinone 1-(2', 2', 2'-Trifluoroethyl-4-(2'-thienyl)-2(1H)-quinazolinone 1-(2', 2',2'-Trifluoroethyl)-4-(2'-thienyl)-6-chloro-2(1H)-quinazolinone 1-(2', 2', 2'-Trifluoroethyl)-4-(2'-thienyl)-6-methyl-2(1H)-quinazolinone 1-(2',2',2'-Trifluoroethyl)-4-(2'-thienyl)-7-methyl-2(1H)-quinazolinone 1-(2',2',2'-Trifluoroethyl)-4-(2'-thienyl)-8-methyl-2(1H)-quinazolinone 1-(2',2',2'-Trifluoroethyl)-4-(2'-thienyl)-6-methoxy-2(1H)-quinazolinone 1-(2',2',2'-Trifluoroethyl)-4-(2'-thienyl)-6,7-dimethoxy-2(1H)-quinazolinone 1-(2',2',2'-Trifluoroethyl)-4-(2'-thienyl)-6-nitro-2(1H)-quinazolinone 1-(2',2',2'-Trifluoroethyl)-4-(2'-thienyl)-6-methylthio-2(1H)-quinazolinone 1-(2',2',2'-Trifluoroethyl)-4-(2'-thienyl)-6-methylsulfonyl-2(1H)-quinazolinone 1-(2',2',2'-Trichloroethyl)-4-(2'-thienyl)-2(1H)-quinazolinone 1-(2',2',2'-Trichloroethyl)-4-(2'-thienyl)-6-methoxy-2(1H)-quinazolinone 1-(2',2',2'-Trichloroethyl)-4-(2'-thienyl)-6-nitro-2(1H)-quinazolinone 1-(2'-Chloro-2',2'-difluoroethyl)-4-(2'-thienyl)-2(1H-quinazolinone.
