The compounds of the formula I can form salts with bases. Compounds of the formula I having basic groups can furthermore form acid addition salts and internal salts.
Salts of compounds of the formula I with bases are, for example, their salts with pharmaceutically acceptable bases, such as nontoxic metal salts derived from metals of Groups Ia, Ib, IIa and IIb, e.g. alkali metal salts, in particular sodium or potassium salts, alkaline earth metal salts, in particular calcium or magnesium salts, as well as ammonium salts with ammonia or organic amines or quaternary ammonium bases, such as free or C-hydroxylated aliphatic amines, in particular mono-, di- or tri-lower alkylamines, e.g. methyl-, ethyl- or diethylamine, mono-, di- or tri(hydroxy-lower alkyl)amines, such as ethanolamine, diethanolamine or triethanolamine, tris(hydroxymethyl)naphthyl radicals or 2-hydroxy-tertiary butylamine, or N-(hydroxy-lower alkyl)-N,N-di-lower alkylamines or N-(polyhydroxy-lower alkyl)-N-lower alkylamines, such as 2-(dimethylamino)ethanol or D-glucamine or choline, or quaternary aliphatic ammonium hydroxides, e.g. tetrabutylammonium hydroxide.

Pharmaceutically unsuitable salts can also be used for isolation or purification. Only the pharmaceutically acceptable, nontoxic salts are used therapeutically, and are therefore preferred.
The compounds of the formula I have valuable pharmacological properties. They have a high binding affinity toward excitatory amino acid receptors, such as toward AMPA receptors, NMDA (kainate) receptors and/or glycine binding sites of NMDA receptors. The affinity for the receptors mentioned is global or selective, depending on the structure. Selected compounds of the formula I in particular have a strong affinity for AMPA and/or NMDA (kainate) binding sites and a less strong affinity for glycine binding sites of the NMDA receptor.
The binding power of the compounds prepared according to the invention and their salts can be demonstrated radiographically in vitro on brain membranes of animals (mice, rats) by means of the displacement of [.sup.3 H]-AMPA, [.sup.3 H]-kainate, [.sup.3 H]-DCKA (5,7-dichlorokynurenic acid) or [.sup.3 H]-MDL 105,510, the concentration (IC.sub.50) necessary for a 50% displacement being determined.
For the determination of the binding affinity for AMPA receptors, it is possible to use, for example, the radioreceptor assay experimental arrangement of Honore T., Lauridsen J. and Krogsgaard-Larsen according to J. Neurochem. 38, 173-178 (1981), in which compounds of the formula I show IC.sub.50 values of approximately 0.05 to approximately 5 .mu.M. The binding affinity for kainate receptors can be measured, for example, by means of the radioreceptor assay experimental arrangement of Simon J. R., Contrera J. F. and Kuhn M. J., J. Neurochem 26, 141-147 (1975), in which compounds of the formula I show IC.sub.50 values of approximately 0.5 to approximately 5 .mu.M.
The binding power of compounds of the formula I to glycine binding sites of the NMDA receptor can be determined, for example, in the radioreceptor assay experimental arrangement according to Baron M. B., Siegel B. W. et al., Eur. J. Pharmacol., Molec. Pharmacol. Section 206, pages 149-154 (1991) and Canton T., Doble A. et al., J. Pharm. Pharmacol. 44, pages 812-816 (1992) on rats' cortex and rat hippocampus membranes. The IC.sub.50 value of compounds of the formula I in this experimental arrangement lies in the range from approximately 0.005 to approximately 5 .mu.M.
On account of these properties, the compounds of the formula I have marked anticonvulsive properties, which are determined in vivo, for example on the mouse by means of their marked protective action toward convulsions induced by electroshock or metrazole, it being possible to use, for example, the established electroshock mouse model or the mouse model for metrazole-induced convulsions according to Schmutz et al., Naunyn-Schmiedeberg's Arch. Pharmacol. 342, 61-66 (1990).
The compounds of the formula I and their pharmaceutically acceptable salts are thus especially suitable for the prophylactic and therapeutic treatment of pathological conditions which respond to blockage of excitatory amino acid receptors, in particular blockage of one or more of the mentioned subtypes of excitatory amino acid receptors, for example of neurodegenerative disorders, such as of neurodegenerative disorders as a result of stroke, hypoglycemia, anoxia or cerebral palsy symptoms, of ischemic brain disorders, such as cerebral ischemia, cerebral ischemia in heart surgery or cardiac arrest, perinatal asphyxia, epileptic attacks, Huntington's chorea, Alzheimer's and Parkinson's disease, amyotropic lateral sclerosis, bone marrow and cerebral trauma and symptoms of poisoning by neurotoxins or addictive drug abuse, and of ischemic disorders of the eye, of vascular and muscle spasms, such as of migraine or of local or general spasticity, of convulsions, such as epilepsy, and of states of anxiety and pain, such as of trigeminal neuralgias.

and, if desired, in each case converting a compound obtained into another compound of the formula I, separating an isomer mixture obtainable according to the process into the components and separating off the preferred isomer in each case and/or converting a free compound obtainable according to the process into a salt or a salt obtainable according to the process into the corresponding free compound.
Suitable hydroxy protective groups RA are, for example, the hydroxy protective groups customary for the intermediate protection of phosphono groups, such as, in particular, lower alkyl, e.g. methyl, ethyl or isopropyl, furthermore substituted or unsubstituted phenyl-lower alkyl groups, such as benzyl groups, as well as tri-lower alkylsilyl, such as trimethylsilyl.

Suitable amino protective groups R.sub.3 are, for example, the protective groups customary for the intermediate protection of amino groups, such as acyl groups derived from a hemiester of carbonic acid, such as lower alkoxycarbonyl or substituted or unsubstituted phenoxy- or phenyl-lower alkoxycarbonyl groups.
The detachment of the mentioned protective groups R.sub.C, R.sub.D and, if desired, R.sub.A and/or R.sub.B is carried out in a customary manner, for example by acid treatment, such as treatment with hydrochloric acid, for example 1N to 4N hydrochloric acid, approximately 20% to approximately 40% hydrobromic acid in acetic acid, or treatment with a tri-lower alkyl halosilane, such as trimethylbromosilane, or a hexa-lower alkyldisilazane, such as hexamethyldisilazane, with subsequent addition of a lower alkanol, such as ethanol, which reacts with the silane component with release of hydrogen halide. Alternatively, the detachment of the protective group can also be carried out by treatment with a Lewis acid, such as a tri-lower alkylhalosilane, where, however, more drastic reaction conditions, such as temperatures in the range from approximately 50.degree. C. to approximately 110.degree. C., may be necessary.
Starting substances of the formula II are prepared, for example, by reducing, in an approriate compound of the formula III ##STR4## the nitro group to amino in a customary manner, for example by catalytic hydrogenation in the presence of palladium or Raney nickel, condensing the resulting phenylene-1,2-diamine under acidic conditions, for example in the presence of hydrochloric acid, with oxalic acid to give the corresponding quinoxalinedione of the formula IV ##STR5## converting this by reaction with a halogenating agent introducing a halogen Hal, for example phosphorus oxychloride, into the corresponding 2,3-dihaloquinoxaline of the formula V ##STR6## replacing the groups Hal in this in a customary manner, for example by reaction with an alkali metal lower alkanolate, such as sodium methanolate, by protected hydroxyl --OR.sub.C or --OR.sub.D, such as lower alkoxy, in particular methoxy, halogenating the resulting compound of the formula VI ##STR7## with a halogenating agent introducing a halogen Hal, such as N-bromosuccinimide, in the presence of azoisobutyronitrile or dibenzoyl peroxide, in the side chain to give the corresponding compound of the formula VII ##STR8## and converting this by reaction with an azide, such as sodium azide, and subsequent reduction, for example treatment with triphenylphosphine and water, into the corresponding amino compound of the formula VIII ##STR9## and condensing this either with a carbonyl compound of the formula H-X.dbd.O (IX) and then in the presence of a base, such as tri-lower alkylamine, with a tri-lower alkylsilyl ether, such as the trimethylsilyl ether, of a compound of the formula X ##STR10## or in the presence of sodium cyanoborohydride directly with a compound of the formula XI ##STR11## This process variant is particularly suitable for the preparation of compounds of the formula I in which X is a divalent aliphatic, cycloaliphatic-aliphatic, araliphatic, or heteroarylaliphatic radical.
In an advantageous modification of this process variant for the preparation of compounds of the formula I in which X is lower alkylidene, in particular methylene, the amine of the formula X is converted with formaldehyde or a formaldehyde-donating agent into the corresponding triazinan of the formula XII ##STR12## and reacting this, for example in the presence of a base, such as a tri-lower alkylamine, with a tri-lower alkylsilyl ether, such as the trimethylsilyl ether, of the compounds of the formula X.
For the preparation of compounds of the formula II in which X bears an oxo group in the .alpha.-position to the amino group, the amine compound VIII is advantageously reacted in the presence of a dehydrating agent, such as of a carbodiimide, e.g. of N-(dimethylaminopropyl)-N'-ethylcarbodiimide hydrochloride, with an appropriate carboxylic acid compound of the formula XIII ##STR13## or, in the presence of a basic condensing agent, with a reactive derivative thereof, such as an acid halide or reactive ester.
For the preparation of compounds of the formula II in which X is a divalent cycloaliphatic or aromatic radical, halogen compounds of the formula VII are advantageously used as starting materials and these are condensed in a customary manner with an appropriate amine component of the formula XIV ##STR14## Compounds obtainable according to the process can be converted into other compounds of the formula I in a customary manner.
Thus aliphatic or araliphatic radicals, such as lower alkyl, lower alkenyl or lower alkanoyl radicals, can be introduced in a customary manner into compounds of the formula I in which R.sub.2 is hydrogen, for example by reaction with a lower alkylating agent, such as a lower alkyl halide or a reactive lower alkanoic acid derivative, such as a lower alkanoyl chloride, if necessary in the presence of a customary basic condensing agent.
Furthermore, compounds of the formula I comprising esterified or amidated carboxyl groups can be hydrolyzed to the corresponding carboxylic acids in a customary manner, or compounds of the formula I comprising free carboxyl can be esterified or amidated in the customary manner.
Furthermore, cyano can be converted into carbamoyl in a customary manner in compounds of the formula I obtained.
Salts obtained can be converted into the free compounds in a manner known per se, e.g. by treating with a base, such as an alkali metal hydroxide, a metal carbonate or hydrogencarbonate, or another salt-forming base mentioned at the outset, or with an acid, such as a mineral acid, e.g. with hydrogen chloride, or another salt-forming acid mentioned at the outset.
Salts obtained can be converted into other salts in a manner known per se, acid addition salts, for example, by treating with a suitable metal salt, such as a sodium, barium or silver salt, of another acid in a suitable solvent in which an inorganic salt formed is insoluble and thus is eliminated from the reaction equilibrium, and base salts by setting free the free acid and fresh salification.
The compounds of the formula I, including their salts, can also be obtained in the form of hydrates or include the solvent used for crystallization.
As a result of the close relationship between the novel compounds in free form and in the form of their salts, above and below the free compounds and their salts are analogously and expediently to be understood as meaning, if desired, also the corresponding salts or free compounds.
On account of the physicochemical differences in the constituents, diastereomer mixtures and racemate mixtures obtained can be separated into the pure diastereomers or racemates in a known manner, for example by chromatography and/or fractional crystallization.
Racemates obtained can furthermore be resolved into the optical antipodes, for example by recrystallization from an optically active solvent, with the aid of microorganisms or by reaction of the resulting diastereomer mixture or racemate with an optically active auxiliary compound, e.g. according to the acidic, basic or functionally modifiable groups contained in compounds of the formula I with an optically active acid, base or an optically active alcohol, to give mixtures of diastereomeric salts or functional derivatives, such as esters, and separation thereof into the diastereomers, from which the desired enantiomer in each case can be released in the manner customary in each case. Bases, acids or alcohols suitable for this, are, for example, optically active alkaloid bases, such as strychnine, cinchonine or brucine, or D- or L-(1-phenyl)ethylamine, 3-pipecoline, ephedrine, amphetamine and similar synthetically accessible bases, optically active carboxylic or sulfonic acids, such as quinic acid or D- or L-tartaric acid, D- or L-di-o-toluyltartaric acid, D- or L-malic acid, D- or L-mandelic acid, or D- or L-camphorsulfonic acid, or optically active alcohols, such as borneol or D- or L-(1 -phenyl)ethanol.
The invention also relates to those embodiments of the process according to which a compound obtainable as an intermediate in any stage of the process is used as a starting compound and the missing steps are carried out or a starting substance is used in the form of a salt or, in particular, formed under the reaction conditions.
The novel starting substances, which were developed especially for the preparation of the compounds according to the invention, in particular the selection of starting substances leading to compounds of the formula I marked as preferred at the outset, the processes for their preparation and their use as intermediates likewise form a subject of the invention.
The pharmaceutical preparations according to the invention, which contain the compound according to the invention or pharmaceutically acceptable salts thereof, are those for enteral, such as oral, furthermore rectal, and parenteral administration to (a) warm-blooded animal(s) the pharmacological active ingredient being contained on its own or together with a pharmaceutically acceptable carrier. The daily dose of the active ingredient depends on the age and the condition of the individual and on the manner of administration.
The novel pharmaceutical preparations contain, for example, from approximately 10% to approximately 80%, preferably from approximately 20% to approximately 60%, of the active ingredient. Pharmaceutical preparations according to the invention for enteral or parenteral administration are, for example, those in unit dose forms, such as sugar coated tablets, tablets, capsules or suppositories, and furthermore ampoules. These are prepared in a manner known per se, e.g. by means of conventional mixing, granulating, sugar-coating, dissolving or lyophilizing processes. Thus, pharmaceutical preparations for oral use can be obtained by combining the active ingredient with solid carriers, if desired granulating a resulting mixture, and processing the mixture or granules, if desired or necessary, to give tablets or sugar-coated cores after addition of suitable adjuncts.
Suitable carriers are, in particular, fillers, such as sugars, e.g. lactose, sucrose, mannitol or sorbitol, cellulose preparations and/or calcium phosphates, e.g. tricalcium phosphate or calcium hydrogenphosphate, furthermore binders, such as starch pastes, using, for example, corn, wheat, rice or potato starch, gelatin, tragacanth, methylcellulose and/or polyvinylpyrrolidone, if desired, disintegrants, such as the abovementioned starches, furthermore carboxymethylstarch, crosslinked polyvinylpyrrolidone, agar, alginic acid or a salt thereof, such as sodium alginate, adjuncts are primarily flow, flow-regulating and lubricating agents, e.g. silicic acid, talc, stearic acid or salts thereof, such as magnesium or calcium stearates, and/or polyethylene glycol. Sugar-coated cores are provided with suitable coatings, which may be enteric, using, inter alia, concentrated sugar solutions which may contain gum arabic, talc, polyvinylpyrrolidone, polyethylene glycol and/or titanium dioxide, lacquer solutions in suitable organic solvents or solvent mixtures or, for the preparation of enteric coatings, solutions of suitable cellulose preparations, such as acetylcellulose phthalate or hydroxypropylmethylcellulose phthalate. Colorants or pigments, e.g. for the identification or for the marking of various active ingredient doses, can be admixed to the tablets or sugar-coated tablet coatings.
Further orally administrable pharmaceutical preparations are hard capsules made of gelatin, and soft, closed capsules made of gelatin and a plasticizer, such as glycerol or sorbitol. The hard capsules can contain the active ingredient in the form of granules, e.g. as a mixture with fillers, such as lactose, binders, such as starches, and/or lubricants, such as talc or magnesium stearate, and, if desired, stabilizers. In soft capsules, the active ingredient is preferably dissolved or suspended in suitable liquids, such as fatty oils, liquid paraffin or liquid polyethylene glycols, it also being possible to add stabilizers.
Suitable rectally administrable pharmaceutical preparations are, for example, suppositories which consist of a combination of the active ingredient with a suppository base. Suitable suppository bases are, for example, natural or synthetic triglycerides, paraffin hydrocarbons, polyethylene glycols or higher alkanols. Furthermore, it is also possible to use gelatin rectal capsules which contain a combination of the active ingredient with a base material. Possible base materials are, for example, liquid triglycerides, polyethylene glycols or paraffin hydrocarbons.
For parenteral administration, aqueous solutions of an active ingredient in water-soluble form are primarily suitable, e.g. of a water-soluble salt, furthermore suspensions of the active ingredients, such as appropriate oily injection vehicles, such suitable lipophilic solvents or vehicles, such as fatty oils, e.g. sesame oil, or synthetic fatty acid esters, e.g. ethyl oleate or triglycerides, being used or aqueous injection suspensions which contain viscosity-increasing substances, e.g. sodium carboxymethylcellulose, sorbitol and/or dextran, and, if desired, also stabilizers.
The dose of the active ingredient depends on the warm-blooded species, the age and the condition of the individual and the manner of administration. In the normal case, an approximate daily dose of about 10 mg to about 500 mg is to be estimated in the case of oral administration for a patient weighing about 75 kg.
