Substituted aminopyrimidines as antihypertensives

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION
This invention relates to substituted aminopyrimidines which are useful for the treatment of hypertension and congestive heart failure. The compounds of this invention are also useful as lipid lowering agents.
The compounds of this invention achieve their hemodynamic effects by antagonizing the effects of angiotensin II; the active component of the renin angiotensin system. Angiotensinogen is converted to angiotensin I by the action of the enzyme renin. Angiotensin II (A II) is formed by angiotensin converting enzyme (ACE) acting on angiotensin I. A II is a powerful vasoconstrictor and is implicated as the cause of high blood pressure in a number of species including man. A II elicits these vasopressor responses by acting at specific receptor sites. The compounds of this invention compete with A II for these receptor sites, thus antagonizing the vasopressor effects of A II.

PROCESS
The compounds of the present invention are prepared according to the general sequence of reactions outlined below: ##STR13## wherein R.sup.1, R.sup.2, R.sup.3, R.sup.4, n, Ar.sup.1, Ar.sup.2 are as defined above.
Thus a .beta.-keto ester 1 is condensed with an amidine 2 in the presence of a base such as sodium ethoxide in an alcoholic solvent such as ethanol at temperatures ranging from ambient to reflux to yield a pyrimidone 3. Treatment of a pyrimidone 3 with phosphorus oxychloride under reflux gives a chloropyrimidine 4. The reaction of 4 with the amine 5 in the presence of an organic base such as triethylamine or an inorganic base such as potassium carbonate in a polar solvent such as ethanol, butanol, or dimethylsulfoxide at temperatures ranging from ambient to reflux yields the target pyrimidines I.

The high affinity of the compounds for the angiotensin II receptor was established using a rat adrenal receptor binding assay, measuring the displacement of radiolabeled angiotensin II from the receptor, described as follows: Anesthetize male Sprague-Dawley rats (300-400 g body weight) with CO.sub.2 and sacrifice by cervical dislocation. Dissect adrenal glands and keep in ice-cold sucrose buffer. (0.2M sucrose, 1 mM EDTA, 10 mM Trizma base, pH=7.2). Remove medulla by squashing. Mince the cortex, rinse and homogenize in a chilled ground glass tissue grinder with 15 ml sucrose buffer. Centrifuge at 3000.times. g for 10 min. (Sorvall RCSC centrifuge, SS34 rotor 6200 rpm). Decant supernatant through gauze. Centrifuge combined supernatants at 12,000.times. g for 13 min. (Beckman ultracentrifuge, 80Ti rotor, 13,000 rpm). Centrifuge the supernatant from the previous step at 102,000.times. g for 60 min. (Beckman ultracentrifuge, 80Ti rotor, 38,200 rpm). All steps are carried out at 4.degree. C. Resuspend the pellet in 0.5 mL assay buffer (50 mM Tris HCI, 5 mM MgCl.sub.2, 0.2% BSA (protease-free), pH= 7.4, 25.degree. C.). Store on ice. Determine membrane protein by Lowry or Bradford assay with BSA as standard. The binding assay is performed in triplicate, in 12.times.75 mm plastic test tubes or in 96-well plate (final volume of 0.25 mL). Add 140 .mu.L assay buffer. Add 10 .mu.L cold A II (to give final concentrations of 10.sup.-10 -10.sup.-7 M for standard curve and 10.sup.-4 M for nonspecific binding), compounds (e.g., for final concentrations of 25 and 100 .mu.M or 1 .mu.M, 10 nM and 100 nM) in 50% DMSO, or 50% DMSO as a control. Add 50 .mu.L membrane suspension (e.g., 10 .mu.g protein). Preincubate for 30 min at 25.degree. C. Add 50 .mu.l .sup.125 I-A II which has been prepared as shown below (final concentration=1 nM). Incubate for 35 min at 25.degree. C. Stop the incubation by adding 1 mL ice-cold buffer (assay buffer without BSA). Filter with GF/C filters on cell harvester (filters are presoaked in the assay buffer containing 1% polyethyleneimine). Rinse assay tubes 3.times. with 5 mL cold buffer (assay buffer without BSA). Cut and deposit the filter discs into test tubes and count on gamma counter for 1 min. Adjust the specific activity of .sup.125 I-A II purchased from New England Nuclear to 500 .mu.Ci/nmole by adding cold A II in water. Calculate the quantities of hot A II and the cold A II needed and make the dilution. Aliquot, seal tight, and store frozen until needed. Calculate the concentration of the total A II (hot+cold) after dilution. On the day of assay, thaw the frozen aliquot and adjust the volume to give a concentration of 5 pmole/mL (or 0.25 pmole/50 .mu.L) with assay buffer (+protease-free BSA). For final concentration of 1 nM .sup.125 I-A II in the assay, add 50 .mu.L (or 0.25 pmole) per test tube to a final volume of 250 .mu.L. The results of these binding assays are reported as the inhibitory concentration of the test compound necessary to achieve fifty percent displacement of radiolabeled angiotensin II from its receptor (IC.sub.50), or the percent displacement of binding of A II at its receptor at 10.sup.-8 M concentration of test compound (% I). All the examples cited in this invention displayed significant inhibition of A II binding in this assay. Typically these compounds displayed an IC.sub.50 in this assay of less than or equal to 50 .mu.M.
In accordance with their ability to antagonize angiotensin II, the compounds of this invention show antihypertensive action in the following A II-infused rat model. Rats are anesthetized with Dial-Urethane (0.60 mL/kg, ip) and the trachea cannulated with PE 240. Either one femoral artery and both femoral veins or the carotid artery and the corresponding jugular vein are cannulated with PE 50. If the jugular vein is cannulated, two cannulas are placed in the one vein. The initial portion of the duodenum (just distal to the stomach) is cannulated with PE 50 via a small midline incision. Arterial pressure and heart rate are measured from the arterial cannula. Ten to 15 min are allowed following surgery for stabilization of arterial pressure. Ganglion blockade is then produced by intravenous administration of mecamylamine at 3 mg/kg (1 mL/kg of a 3 mg/mL solution). Ganglion blockade causes a fall in arterial pressure of about 50 mmHg. Mecamylamine is given every 90 min throughout the remainder of the experiment. An A II infusion is then begun into the other venous cannula at 0.25 .mu.g/kg/min (at 9.6 u Vmin). The A II infusion returns arterial pressure to or slightly above the control level. Once arterial pressure has stabilized with the A II infusion, baseline values for mean arterial pressure (MAP) and heart rate are taken. The test compound, suspended in methyl cellulose, is then administered via the duodenal cannula at 0.1, 3 or, 30 mg/kg in a volume of 1 mL/kg. Mean arterial pressure and heart rate values are tabulated at 15, 30, 60, 90, 120, 150, 180, 210, and 240 min after administration of the test compound. For example, the product of Example 47 administered at 3 mg/kg id lowered the A II dependent blood pressure by an average of 57% four hours post-administration.
As illustrated above the compounds of this invention are effective A II antagonists and therefore are useful for treating hypertension. They are also of value in the management of acute and chronic congestive heart failure, primary and secondary pulmonary hyperaldosteronism, secondary hyperaldosteronism, primary and secondary pulmonary hypertension, hypertension associated with oral contraceptive use, vascular disorders such as migraine, Raynaud's disease, luminal hyperplasia and the atherosclerotic process, renal diseases or renal complications of other diseases or therapies such as proteinuria, glomerulonephritis, glomerular sclerosis, scleroderma, diabetic nephropathy, end stage renal disease, renal transplant therapy and others. These compounds will also be useful in the treatment of left ventricular dysfunction, diabetic retinopathy, Alzheimers disease, in the enhancement of cognition, in treatment of elevated intraoccular pressure, and in the enhancement of retinal blood flow. These compounds will also be useful as antidepressants and anxiolytics and in the prevention or treatment of restenosis following angioplasty. The application of the compounds of this invention for these and similar disorders will be apparent to those skilled in the art.
The usefulness of these compounds as lipid lowering agents was assessed using cholesterol absorption in a cholesterol/cholic acid-fed rat model which is described as follows. Newly arrived rats are housed for 5 days in a room with reversed light/dark cycle and fed pelleted rat chow (Purina 5001). The food is removed, and the rats are placed on a daily 4 h/day feeding schedule (beginning at 9:00 AM) with normal chow for 7 days. After acclimation (total of 12 days) and randomization based on weight, dosing with drugs and feeding of cholesterol/cholic acid is initiated. Drug solublized in vehicle (0.1 mL; olive oil, corn oil, 2% Tween 80, or carboxymethyl cellulose) is administered orally through a dosing needle immediately prior to (9:00 AM) and immediately following the 4 h feeding period. Dosing with drugs and feeding of the cholesterol/cholic acid diet is repeated for 4 days. On the morning of the 5th day, rats are sacrificed (decapitation), blood is collected and the livers are removed, weighed and stored frozen (-80.degree. C.). The animals are analyzed for total plasma cholesterol (TPC), high density lipoprotein cholesterol (HDLC, Sigma kit) and triglycerides (TG) on an Abbott Autoanalyzer. VLDL+LDL cholesterol is calculated by the difference between total and HDL cholesterol. HDL cholesterol/total cholesterol is also calculated. Typically the compounds of this invention show a 50% drop in total cholesterol at doses in the range of 100-200 mg/kg.
As illustrated above the compounds of this invention are effective lipid lowering agents and therefore are useful for treating hyperlipidemia and/or hypercholesterolemia.
Specific procedures are described in the following examples. These examples are given to illustrate the invention and should not be construed as limiting the invention set forth in the appended claims.
