Description




BACKGROUND AND SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION




The present invention relates to substituted aminomethyl-phenyl-cyclohexane derivatives and processes for their preparation, their use for the preparation of medicaments and medicaments comprising these compounds.




Treatment of chronic and non-chronic states of pain is of great importance in medicine. There is a worldwide need for pain treatments with a good action for target-orientated treatment of chronic and non-chronic states of pain appropriate for the patient, by which is to be understood successful and satisfactory pain treatment for the patient. This manifests itself in the large number of scientific works which have been published in the field of applied analgesia and basic research in nociception in recent years.




Conventional opioids, such as morphine, have a good action in the treatment of severe to very severe pain. However, their use is limited by their known side effects, e.g. respiratory depression, vomiting, sedation, constipation, addiction, dependency and development of tolerance. They can therefore be administered over a relatively long period of time or in relatively high dosages only if particular safety precautions are taken, such as specific prescription instructions (Goodman, Gilman, The Pharmacological Basis of Therapeutics, Pergamon Press, New York 1990). They furthermore show a lower activity with some states of pain, in particular neuropathic pain.




Tramadol hydrochloride—(1RS,2RS)-2-[(dimethylamino)methyl]-1-(3-methoxyphenyl)cyclohexanol hydrochloride—is another known therapeutic for treatment of severe pain. It occupies a special position among analgesics having an action on the central nervous system, inasmuch as this active compound brings about potent inhibition of pain without the side effects known of opioids (J. Pharmacol. Exptl. Ther. 267, 33 (1993)), both the enantiomers of tramadol and the enantiomers of tramadol metabolites participating in the analgesic action (J. Pharmacol. Exp. Ther. 260, 275 (1992)). Needless to say, tramadol is also not without side effects.




There is thus a need to provide substances which have an analgesic action and are suitable for treatment of pain. These substances should furthermore have as few side effects as possible, such as nausea, dependency, respiratory depression or constipation.




DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION




This object is achieved by the substituted aminomethyl-phenyl-cyclohexane derivatives according to the invention. The invention therefore provides substituted aminomethyl-phenyl-cyclohexane derivatives of the general formula I and Ia, also in the form of their diastereomers or enantiomers and of their free bases or of a salt formed with a physiologically tolerated acid, in particular the hydrochloride salt.

wherein A denotes chloride or bromide and, independently of one another, R


29


is as defined in the above definition of R


2


and R


30


is as defined in the above definition of R


3


.




Preferred organic solvents here are benzene, toluene or a chlorinated hydrocarbon, and potassium tert-butylate or sodium hydride are preferably used as the base. Furthermore, the reaction temperature, in particular during the Wittig reaction, is preferably kept between 50° C. and 90° C.




OH, SH and NH


2


groups can undergo undesirable side reactions under the reaction conditions mentioned. It is therefore preferable to provide these with protective groups, or in the case of NH


2


to replace it by NO


2


, and to remove the protective group or reduce the NO

group after the Wittig reaction. The present invention therefore also provides a modification of the process described above in which in R

2


group is reduced to NH

.




Furthermore, carboxylic acid or thiocarboxylic acid groups are not stable under certain circumstances under the conditions of the Wittig reaction, so that it is preferable to react methyl esters thereof in the Wittig reaction and then to hydrolyse the process product from the Wittig reaction with KOH solution or NaOH solution in methanol at 40° C.-60° C. The invention therefore also provides a modification of the processes described above in which, after the Wittig reaction, a process product with at least one C(O)OCH

, OC(O)OCH

and/or C(S)OCH

group is hydrolyzed with KOH solution or NaOH solution in methanol at 40° C.-60° C.




The reactions proceed specifically and with high yields. Nevertheless, purification of the compounds obtained in the individual reaction sequences, in particular of the end product, is usually necessary. The purification is preferably carried out via crystallization or chromatographic methods, in particular column chromatography.




The compounds of formula I or Ia can be converted into their salts in a manner well-known to those of ordinary skill in the art with physiologically tolerated acids, such as hydrochloric acid, hydrobromic acid, sulfuric acid, methanesulfonic acid, formic acid, acetic acid, oxalic acid, succinic acid, tartaric acid, mandelic acid, fumaric acid, lactic acid, citric acid, glutamic acid and/or aspartic acid. The salt formation is preferably carried out in a solvent, such as diisopropyl ether, acetic acid alkyl esters, acetone and/or 2-butanone. Trimethylchlorosilane in aqueous solution is particularly suitable for preparation of the hydrochlorides.




The cyclohexanones of formulae II and IIa are prepared by first reacting 3,3-dimethyl-1,5-dioxa-spiro[5.5]undecan-8-one with immonium salts of the formula IV or with formaldehyde and an amine of the formula V. The Mannich bases obtained in this way are then reacted with an organometallic compound of the formula VI, in which Z denotes MgCl, MgBr, MgI or lithium. The reaction of the Mannich bases with a Grignard compound of the formula VI, in which Z denotes MgCl, MgBr or MgI, or with an organolithium compound of the formula VI, in which Z is Li, can be carried out in an aliphatic ether, for example diethyl ether and/or tetrahydrofuran, at temperatures of between −70° C. and 60° C. The reaction with a Grignard compound of the formula VI can be carried out with or without the addition of an entraining reagent. If an entraining reagent is employed, 1,2-dibromoethane is preferred.











Products of the general formula VII are first obtained in this way.











Compounds of the formula IIa are obtained by reacting products of the general formula VII with an acid, for example hydrochloric acid, formic acid or acetic acid, at room temperature. Subsequent hydrogenation of the products obtained in this way with catalytically activated hydrogen, platinum or palladium absorbed on a support material, such as active charcoal, serving as the catalyst, leads to compounds of the formula II where X is H. The hydrogenation is carried out in a solvent, such as ethyl acetate or a C


1


-C


4


-alkyl alcohol, under pressures of 0.1 to 10 bar and at temperatures of 20° C. to 80° C.




Compounds of the general formula II where X is OH are obtained by reacting products of the general formula VII with acids, for example hydrochloric acid, at temperatures of between 5° C. and 10° C.




Compounds of the general formula II where X is F, Cl, Br, I or CF


3


are obtained by replacement of OH by F or Cl or Br or I or CF

by processes well known to those ordinarily skilled in the art.




Compounds of the general formula II where X is OR

are obtained by etherification of the OH group with a halide of the formula VIII;

Compounds of the general formula II where X is OC(O)R

Most of the substituted alkyltriphenylphosphonium salts used in the preparation process are commercially obtainable. However, in some exceptional cases these must be synthesized. 3-(Benzoic acid methyl ester)-methyltriphenylphosphonium bromide may be mentioned as an example of the synthesis of the substituted alkyltriphenylphosphonium salts:











This is prepared as follows: 3-Toluic acid is converted with methanol in the presence of sulfuric acid into 3-toluic acid methyl ester, which reacts with N-bromosuccinimide to give 3-bromomethyl-benzoic acid methyl ester. Reaction of bromomethyl-benzoic acid methyl ester with triphenylphosphane finally leads to 3-(benzoic acid methyl ester)-methyltriphenylphosphonium bromide.




The substituted aminomethyl-phenyl-cyclohexane derivatives according to the invention are toxicologically acceptable so that they are suitable as a pharmaceutical active compound in medicaments.




The invention therefore also provides medicaments which comprise, as the active compound, at least one substituted aminomethyl-phenyl-cyclohexane derivative of the general formula I or Ia











in which R

and X have one of the meanings mentioned in claim 1, in the form of its diastereomers or enantiomers and of its free base or of a salt formed with a physiologically tolerated acid, in particular a hydrochloride salt.

The medicaments according to the invention comprise, in addition to at least one substituted aminomethyl-phenyl-cyclohexane derivative according to the invention, carrier materials, fillers, solvents, diluents, dyestuffs and/or binders and can be administered as liquid formulations such as injection solutions, drops or juices, or as semi-solid formulations, or as granules, tablets, pellets, patches, capsules, plasters or aerosols. The choice of auxiliary substances and the amounts thereof to be employed depends on whether the medicament is to be administered orally, perorally, parenterally, intravenously, intraperitoneally, intradermally, intramuscularly, intranasally, buccally, rectally or locally, for example on infections of the skin, the mucous membranes and the eyes. Formulations in the form of tablets, coated tablets, capsules, granules, drops, juices and syrups are suitable for oral administration, and solutions, suspensions, easily reconstitutable dry formulations and sprays are suitable for parenteral, topical and inhalatory administration. Substituted aminomethyl-phenyl-cyclohexane derivatives according to the invention in a depot in dissolved form or in a patch, optionally with the addition of agents which promote penetration through the skin, are suitable formulations for percutaneous administration. Formulation forms which can be used orally or percutaneously can release the substituted aminomethyl-phenyl-cyclohexane derivatives according to the invention in a delayed manner. The amount of active compound to be administered to the patient varies according to the body weight of the patient, the mode of administration, the indication and the severity of the disease. 50 to 500 mg/kg of at least one substituted aminomethyl-phenyl-cyclohexane derivative according to the invention are usually administered.




The substituted aminomethyl-phenyl-cyclohexane derivatives according to the invention are preferably employed for treatment of pain, so that the invention also provides the use of at least one substituted aminomethyl-phenyl-cyclohexane derivative of the general formula I or Ia

Pharmacological Studies:




Writhing Test




The antinociceptive activity of the compounds according to the invention was investigated in mice in the phenylquinone-induced writhing test, modified by I.C. Hendershot, J. Forsaith, J. Pharmacol. Exp. Ther. 125, 237-240 (1959). Male NMRI mice weighing 25-30 g were used. Groups of 10 animals per substance dose received 0.3 ml/mouse of a 0.02% aqueous solution of phenylquinone (phenylbenzoquinone, Sigma, Deisenhofen; preparation of the solution with the addition of 5% ethanol and storage in a water bath at 45° C.) administered intraperitoneally 10 minutes after intravenous administration of a compound according to the invention. The animals were placed individually in observation cages. The number of pain-induced stretching movements (so-called writhing reactions, that is straightening of the body with stretching of the hind extremities) was counted by means of a push-button counter for 5-20 minutes after the administration of phenylquinone. Animals which received physiological saline solution i.v. and phenylquinone i.v. were also run as a control.




All substances were tested in the standard dose of 10 mg/kg. The percentage inhibition (% inhibition) of the writhing reactions by a substance was calculated according to the following equation:






% inhibition=100−(WR

×100)






All compounds according to the invention investigated showed a moderate to potent analgesic action.




The results of selected writhing investigations are summarized in Table 1.
