Substituted methoxyphenyl-4,5 dihydro-3(2H)-pridazinones having cardiotonic and beta blocking activities

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION
Congestive heart failure (CHF) is the disease state wherein a weakened heart results in the inability to adequately pump blood throughout the body. CHF is a common cause of death in the hospital and is an expensive and time consuming condition to treat. Positive inotropic pharmaceuticals such as amrinone act by increasing the force of contraction of the heart without increasing heart rate and have been proposed to treat CHF. Presumably these agents produce their cardiotonic effects at least partly through inhibition of type IV phosphodiesterase.
Beta-blockers such as atenolol and propranolol may be given to persons who have suffered a heart attack in order to lessen oxygen consumption by the heart and prevent sudden death. However, if there is significant damage to the heart, there may be a lack of ability to pump forcefully and the negative inotropic effects of a beta-blocker may exacerbate an already dangerous situation.

SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION
Pyridazinones useful in treating persons diagnosed as having congestive heart failure of the following formula (I): ##STR2## wherein: R.sup.1 is H or lower alkyl;
R.sup.2 is H, halogen, CF.sub.3, CN, lower alkyl or lower alkoxy;
L is an amide-containing alkylene chain or an alkylene chain and:
R.sup.3 and R.sup.4 represent a variety of substituents.
DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION
The invention relates to novel chemical compounds and pharmaceutical compositions thereof. In particular, the subject chemical compounds are 4,5-dihydro-3(2H)-pyridazinones of the following formula (I): ##STR3## wherein: R.sup.1 represents hydrogen or lower alkyl;
R.sup.2 represents hydrogen, halogen, trifluoromethyl, cyano, lower alkyl, or lower alkyloxy;
L represents a linking moiety of the formula (II) or (III): ##STR4## in which: R.sup.5 -R.sup.11 represent, independently, hydrogen or lower alkyl;
n represents the integer 1,2 or 3;
p represents the integer 2,3,4,5 or 6;
R.sup.3 and R.sup.4 represent, independently, hydrogen, alkyloxy, morpholino, cyano, halogen, trifluoromethyl, alkyl, alkyl sulfonyl, alkyloxyalkyl, cycloalkylalkyloxyalkyl, nitro, hydroxy, alkenyloxy, amino or amino substituted by one or two lower alkyl groups.
As used herein, "lower alkyl" per se or as part of another group such as lower alkyloxy may be about 1 to 3 carbons, straight or branched chain; similarly, "alkyl" may be of about 1 to 6 carbons, straight or branched chain; "cycloalkyl" may be of about 3 to 7 carbons; "independently" indicates that members, where two or more are present, need not be identical e.g. the definitions of R.sup.3 and R.sup.4 and the various possibilities for R.sup.5 when n or p are 2 or more; "halogen" is fluoro, chloro, bromo or iodo; the L group is attached as shown in the definitions i.e. the carbon carrying R.sup.5 and R.sup.6 in formula (II) is attached to the left most oxygen of formula (I); the wavy lines in formulae (II) and (III) indicate the bond of attachment of L; and morpholino may be attached via the nitrogen or any ring carbon.
Particular compounds of this invention are those of formula (I) with one or more of the following definitions: R.sup.1 is hydrogen or a methyl group; R.sup.2 is hydrogen or a chlorine atom; L is the linking group (II); n is 1, R.sup.5, R.sup.6, R.sup.7, R.sup.8, and R.sup.9 are hydrogen; R.sup.10 and R.sup.11 are methyl groups; R.sup.3 is hydrogen and R.sup.4 is a cyano, chlorine, or methyl substituted at position 2 of the phenyl ring.
The compounds of formula (I) contain a basic nitrogen atom and hence can form pharmaceutically acceptable acid addition salts. A wide variety of acids may be employed to form such salts and representative examples of such acids include: inorganic acids, e.g. hydrochloric acid, hydrobromic acid, hydroiodic acid, phosphoric acid, nitric acid, and sulfuric acid, and organic acids, e.g. maleic acid, fumaric acid, acetic acid, benzoic acid, p-toluenesulfonic acid, tartaric acid, citric acid, succinic acid, lactic acid and propionic acid. These acid addition salts are prepared by conventional methods. Compounds of formula (I) may also exist as a solvate, e.g. a hydrate or hemihydrate and such are within the scope of the invention.
Several of the compounds of formula (I) have one or more asymmetric carbon atoms in their structure, in addition to the carbon bearing the hydroxy of the 2-hydroxypropyl group of formula (I), and consequently they may exist in different optical isomeric forms or mixtures, e.g. racemates or mixtures of diastereomers. Thus when R.sup.1 is a methyl group, there is an asymmetric carbon atom in the 4,5-dihydro-3(2H)-pyridazinone ring. and, depending upon the definition of R.sup.5, R.sup.6, R.sup.8, R.sup.9, R.sup.10 and R.sup.11, additional asymmetric carbon atoms may be present in the linking group, L. Enantiomeric forms and mixtures of such forms may be obtained separately by application of methods of resolution known to those skilled in the art such as, for example, salt formation with an optically active acid followed by selective crystallization or chiral derivatization followed by selective crystallization or silica gel chromatography. Alternatively, optically active starting material(s) may be employed in the synthesis. All stereoisomeric forms of the compounds of formula (I), including mixtures of diastereomers, pure diastereomers, enantiomers and mixtures thereof, are understood to be within the scope of this invention, except compositions with only the stereochemistry opposite to that shown at the carbon bearing the hydroxy moiety depicted in formula (I).
The compounds of formula (I) in which the linking moiety L is of the formula (II) may be prepared as shown in Scheme I. ##STR5##
In Scheme I, n and the various R groups, except R.sup.12 and R.sup.13, and n are as defined above for formula (I). In the compound of formula (IV), X is a leaving group such as hydroxy whereby the starting material is a carboxylic acid. Alternatively, the compound of formula (IV) where X is OH may be converted to a suitably reactive derivative which is then reacted with an amine of formula (V). Suitable reactive derivatives of the carboxylic acid (IV) include: acid halides where X is halogen, such as the acid chloride; mixed anhydrides of the carboxylic acid with another organic acid, such as acetic acid, propionic acid, or pivalic acid whereby X is --OCOR where R is an organic moiety such as alkyl; acyl imidazoles; and active esters of carboxylic acid, such as the 4-nitrophenyl ester. With the exception of the acyl imidazole, these reactive derivatives can be prepared by treating the carboxylic acid with a suitable halogen compound, such as thionyl or oxalyl chloride, acetyl chloride, pivaloyl chloride, or isobutoxycarbonyl chloride in the presence of a proton acceptor and an inert solvent. The acyl imidazoles may be prepared by reacting the compound of the formula (IV) (X.dbd.OH) with N,N'-carbonyldiimidazole. Suitable proton acceptors include both organic bases such as triethylamine or 4-dimethylaminopyridine and inorganic bases such as anhydrous potassium carbonate. Suitable solvents for forming reactive derivatives from (IV) where X.dbd.OH include diethyl ether, tetrahydrofuran, aromatic hydrocarbon solvents such benzene or toluene, methylene chloride, and CH.sub.3 CN. Thus, X may specifically be hydroxy, chloro, acetoxy, propionoxy, pivaloxy, or imidazole, or 4-nitrobenzyl.
The compounds of formula (IV) are either already known or may be prepared by known methods, for example as described in European Patent application 178,189 published Mar. 16, 1986.
In the compounds of formula (V), R.sup.12 represents hydrogen and R.sup.13 represents any of several monovalent amine protecting groups including, but not limited to carbamates, or N-benzyl derivatives, e.g. benzyl, or R.sup.12 and R.sup.13 together represent a divalent amine protecting group such as a phthalimide. For detailed examples of the use and removal of these amine protecting groups see T. W. Greene, Protective Groups in Organic Synthesis. John Wiley & Sons, 1981, pp. 218-323.
Depending upon the definition of R.sup.8, R.sup.9, R.sup.10 and R.sup.11, an amine protecting group R.sup.13 or R.sup.12 and R.sup.13 may not be necessary. In those cases, Step 2 of Scheme I is unnecessary and the intermediate (VII) is prepared directly from (V) via Step 1' by the methods defined for Step 1. This is the case when R.sup.10 and R.sup.11 are methyl groups whereby there is no further reaction of the second amino group in (V).
The amines of formula (V) are commercially available or may be prepared by conventional methods. For example, see the Journal of Medicinal Chemistry 31, 898-901 (1988).
Steps 1 and 1' in Scheme I are coupling reactions and may be executed by treating a mixture of compounds (IV) and (V) in the presence of an inert solvent With suitable dehydrating agents including diethylcyanophosphonate and dicyclohexylcarbodiimide. Although the reaction can be carried out over a wide range of temperatures, it is most convenient to effect the reaction with diethylcyanophosphonate at 0.degree. C. to 75.degree. C. Suitable solvents for the coupling reaction are tetrahydrofuran, CH.sub.3 CN, benzene, toluene, methylene chloride, chloroform, and DMF. The preferred solvent when diethylcyanophosphonate is used as the dehydrating agent is DMF.
When X is other than OH in formula (IV), the reaction between (IV) and the amine of formula (V) is preferably effected in the presence of an inert solvent, such as aromatic hydrocarbons, e.g. benzene or toluene, ethers, such as diethyl ether or tetrahydrofuran, and halogenated solvents such as methylene chloride. The reaction may be carried out over a wide range of temperatures, but the preferred temperature range is 0.degree. C. to 25.degree. C. Within this temperature range, the time required for the reaction will generally range from 15 min to 6 hrs.
Step 2 of Scheme I, removal of the amine protective group R.sup.12 or R.sup.12 and R.sup.13, is executed under conditions appropriate to the particular amine protective group. A preferred amine protective group is the tert-butoxycarbonyl group. When R.sup.12 in Scheme I represents the tert-butoxycarbonyl group, Step 2 is effected by treating the compound of formula (VI) with an acid solution which may be either a mineral acid such as hydrochloric acid, hydrobromic acid, or sulfuric acid or an organic acid such as p-toluenesulfonic acid or trifluoracetic acid. A wide range of solvents may be used for removal of tert-butoxycarbonyl as long as the solvent is stable to acids and does not react with the amine product, (VII). Suitable solvents include the halogenated hydrocarbons such as methylene chloride chloroform and aromatic solvents such as benzene and toluene. The reaction maybe run over a wide range of temperatures, but is generally carried out in the temperature range of 0.degree. C. to 25.degree. C. The time required for the reaction may be 15 min to 2 hrs and depends upon the solvent and temperature of the reaction Removal of other amine protecting groups may be as set forth in the description below of Step 2 of Scheme III.
Step 3 in Scheme I is effected by reacting an amine of formula (VII) with an epoxide of the formula (VIII). Epoxides of the formula (VIII) are either known compounds or can be prepared by conventional procedures well known to those skilled in the art of organic synthesis. In known beta-adrenergic antagonists one of the enantiomers at the carbon bearing the hydroxyl group (namely the enantiomer having the S-configuration) has the property of antagonizing beta-adrenergic activity (see B. G. Maine and H. Tucker, Progress in Medicinal Chemistry, Vol. 22, p 124). It is thus of particular utility to utilize in Step 3 epoxides of the formula (VIII) having the S-configuration at the asymmetric carbon, since these epoxides will yield structures of the formula (I) having the S-configuration at the carbon bearing the hydroxyl group.
The desired S-epoxides are prepared as shown in Scheme II using the procedures described by K. B. Sharpless, et al in the Journal of Organic Chemistry 1989, 54, 1295-1304. ##STR6##
In Scheme II, R.sup.3 and R.sup.4 are as defined above for formula (I). In Scheme II, a salt of the phenol of formula (IX) is reacted with a sulfonate of formula (X) at 25.degree. to 750.degree. C. to yield the epoxide (VIII) as the S-enantiomer. Suitable salts include the sodium and potassium salts. The (2S)-(+)-glycidyl 3-nitrobenzenesulfonate shown in Scheme II is commercially available from the Aldrich Chemical Company or may be prepared by the methods cited in the Sharpless et. al. reference given above. The phenols of formula (IX) shown in Scheme II are known compounds that are commercially available or can be prepared by conventional methods.
A wide variety of solvents may be employed in Step 3 of Scheme I, provided that the solvent must be inert with respect to the amines (VII), epoxides (VIII), and products (I). Suitable solvents for Step 3 include alcohols such as CH.sub.3 OH, ethanol, or isopropanol; aromatic hydrocarbon solvents such as benzene or toluene, and ethers such as tetrahydrofuran or dioxane. The reaction in Step 3 may be run over a wide range of temperatures, but is generally conducted in the range of 25.degree. C. to 100.degree. C. The time required for the reaction of Step 3 is dependent upon temperature and the nature of the substituents R.sup.10 and R.sup.11, however, a time span of 3-24 hrs is usually sufficient for completion of the reaction.
The compounds of formula (I) in which L is a group of the formula (III) are prepared as shown in Scheme III. ##STR7##
In Scheme III, R.sup.1, R.sup.2, R.sup.5, R.sup.6 and p are as defined in formula (I).
The phenols of formulas (Xl) employed as starting materials in Scheme III are either already known or may be prepared by known methods, for example as described in the Journal of Medicinal Chemistry, 17, 273,(1974) or in European patent application 178,189.
The compounds of formula (XII) represent protected alkylamines with a leaving group, Y, at one end of the chain that is reactive toward displacement by nucleophiles. Suitable Y groups include halogen, p-toluenesulfonate esters, p-nitrobenzenesulfonate esters, methanesulfonate esters, and trifluoromethanesulfonate esters. In Scheme III, R.sup.14 and R.sup.15 are as defined above for R.sup.12 and R.sup.13. Suitable amine protecting group R.sup.14 or R.sup.14 and R.sup.15 include, together with the nitrogen to which they are attached, a phthalimide group, carbamates, and N-benzylated amines. The compounds of formula (XII) are either known or may be prepared from the corresponding halo- or hydroxyalkylamines by conventional methods well known to those skilled in the art.
Step 1 in Scheme III is effected by reacting a phenol of the formula (XI) with a compound of the formula (XII) in the presence of a suitable base and appropriate solvent to give compounds of formula (XIII). Bases which may be used in Step 1 include sodium hydride, potassium carbonate, potassium t-butoxide, and similar non-nucleophilic basic reagents.
A wide variety of solvents may be used in Step 1 of Scheme III with the only restriction being that the solvent be inert toward starting materials (XI) and (XII) as well as to the basic reagent and the product (XIII): Suitable solvents include DMF, dimethylsulfoxide, aromatic hydrocarbon's such as benzene or toluene, and ethers such as tetrahydrofuran. Step 1 may be conducted over a wide temperature range, with the preferred temperature being about 75.degree. C. to 125.degree. C. The preferred conditions for effecting Step 1 of Scheme III is to use anhydrous, powdered potassium carbonate (10% excess) as the base, dimethylformamide as the solvent, and a temperature of 100.degree. C. Under these conditions Step 1 is completed in 2-6 hrs.
The nature of the reaction conditions for Step 2 of Scheme III are dependent upon the amine protecting group R.sup.14 or R.sup.14 and R.sup.15, that has been employed. If the amine protective group is a carbamate moiety, such as the tert-butoxycarbamoyl group, it may be removed under acid hydrolysis conditions. Reaction conditions and suitable acids are the same as those described earlier for Step 2 of Scheme I. If the amine protective group is a phthalimide group, the protecting group is conveniently removed by treatment of a compound of formula (XIII) with hydrazine in a suitable solvent. Solvents that may be used for this reaction include alcohols, e.g. ethanol or isopropanol, ethers such as tetrahydrofuran, CH.sub.3 CN, or aromatic hydrocarbon solvents such as benzene or toluene. The reaction may be executed over a wide temperature range, but the preferred temperature range is about 25.degree. C. to l00.degree. C. If the protecting group in formula (XII) is an N-benzylated amine, then the removal of the protection group (Step 2) in Scheme III is conveniently accomplished by catalytic reduction. Suitable catalysts for this reaction include platinum or palladium supported on activated charcoal. The reaction is carried out under a pressure of 1-3 atmospheres of hydrogen in the temperature range of about 25.degree.-70.degree. C.
Step 3 in Scheme III is carried out by reacting the amine (XIV) with an epoxide of the formula (VIII) as described for Step 3 of Scheme I.
An alternative method that has been employed to prepare compounds of formula (I) in which the L group is (II) is shown in Scheme IV below. ##STR8##
In Scheme IV all R groups are as previously defined for formula (I). Step 1 in Scheme IV is executed under conditions as previously described for Step 3 of Scheme I and Step 2 of Scheme IV is effected as described for Step 1 in Scheme I. In addition, various compounds of formula (XVI) are known as seen in U.S. Pat. No. 4,608,383. The method shown in Scheme IV for the preparation of compounds of formula (I) with L=(II) is most advantageously employed when R.sup.7 -R.sup.11 are all hydrogen or when R.sup.8 .dbd.R.sup.9 .dbd.CH.sub.3 and R.sup.10 .dbd.R.sup.11 .dbd.H.

Pharmacology
The efficacy of compounds of the present invention as both inotropic and beta-andrenergic blocking agents can be evaluated and measured using pharmacological methods known in the art or as described in detail below based on similarly established methodologies.
1. Rat Aorta Protocol
It has been shown by R. F. Kauffman et. al. in J. of Pharmacol. Exp. Ther. 242:864-872 (1987) that inotropic agents such as milrinone and enoximone produce marked relaxation of rat aorta. Such vasorelaxation appears to be related to inhibition of the phosphodiesterase (PDE) isozyme related to the cardiac sarcoplasmic reticulum. Thus, relaxation of rat aorta can be used as a screen to eliminate compounds which are not PDE inhibitors prior to testing for actual inotropic activity.
Rings of rat aorta (endothelium removed) were prepared for the measurement of isometric force in isolated tissue organ chambers essentially as previously described by T. J. Rimele et al in the Journal of Pharmacol. Exp. Ther. 245:102-111 (1988). The experimental portion of the protocol began with the addition of methylene blue (1.times.10.sup.-5 M) and propranolol (1.times.10.sup.-6 M) to each organ chamber to inhibit basal cGMP accumulation due to soluble guanylate cyclase and beta-adrenoceptors. Phenylephrine (1.times.10.sup.-7 M) was then added and the rings were allowed to obtain a stable contractile response after which time, the test compound was added in a cumulative fashion. The relaxation induced by each concentration of the test compound was expressed as a percentage of the maximal relaxation produced by nitroprusside (1.times.10.sup.-4 M). The results were graphically represented as a plot of the percentage relaxation vs. the negative log of the molar concentration of the test compound. The IC.sub.50 (concentration of test compound which produced a relaxation equivalent to 50% of the maximal relaxation induced by nitroprusside) was determined for each tissue. The IC.sub.50 for the compound of Example 19 was 0.34 micromolar with the maximal response being 100% at the highest dose tested (100 micromolar).
2. Anesthetized Dog
Inotropic effects were evaluated in barbiturate-anesthetized dogs by differentiating left intraventricular pressure. This procedure was carried out essentially as described by M. K. Grizzel et al in the FASEB Journal, Vol. 3, page 1039, abstract 4728 (1989). Purpose breed mongrel dogs (14-20 kg) of either sex were anesthetized with a mixture of sodium pentobarbital (15 mg/kg) and sodium barbital (300 mg/kg) i.v., intubated with a cuffed endotracheal tube and ventilated with a respirator (Harvard Apparatus, model 613, South Natick, Mass.) with room air (22 rpm, 10-12 ml/kg/stroke). A 5 F pressure transducer (Millar Instruments, Mikkro-tip Houston, Tex.) was inserted through the right carotid artery into the left ventricle to monitor intraventricular pressure. The left ventricular pressure signal was differentiated (using a 100 Hz low pass differential amplifier, Gould Inc., Cleveland, Ohio) to obtain its maximal rate of rise (+dP/dt), and used to trigger a biotach amplifier to record heart rate. Cardiac output was determined via thermodilution with a Spectramed computer (Starcom, Oxnard, Calif.) and a 5 F Swan Ganz catheter which was inserted into the right jugular vein and positioned in the pulmonary artery. The femoral artery was cannulated for monitoring arterial blood pressure with a pressure transducer (Micron model MP15D, Simi Valley, Calif.). A lead II electrocardiogram was measured using subcutaneous electrodes. Following surgery and instrumentation, each dog was placed in the left lateral decubitus position for the remainder of the experiment, and allowed to stabilize for 45-60 min before starting the experimental protocol. Rectal temperature was monitored and maintained at 37.degree.-38.degree. C. with a heating pad (Baxter Health Care model K20, McGaw park, Ill.). All variables were recorded using a Gould 3800S physiograph.
Isoproterenol (0.1-0.5 mg/kg) was injected i.v. into the cephalic vein at 10 min intervals except for when the test drug infusion was begun. Four of these initial injections were made to establish the baseline response. Ten min after the forth isoproterenol injection an infusion of test compound was started at 0.01 micromol/kg/10 min after 10 min of test drug infusion an isoproterenol injection was made and the dose rate of test compound was increased. This process was continued up to a dose of test compound ranging from 300 to 10,000 micromol/kg total. cumulative dose. Inhibition of the isoproterenol responses on contractility (dP/dt), heart rate and diastolic blood pressure were determined at each dose of test compound. The inotropic effect of each compound was determined by comparing the level of dP/dt at the end of each 10 min period to that of the level of dP/dt just prior to the infusion of test compound. The ED.sub.50 s were determined by a 2 point interpolation of the responses obtained that were just below and above 50% inhibition of the isoproterenol response or a 50% increase in dP/dt. Data are expressed in nanomol/kg.
Inotropic effects of the compounds were determined by changes in the baseline dP/dt whereas the beta-blocking effects of the compounds were determined by quanitating inhibition of the dP/dt response to isoproterenol. The compound of the invention of Example 19 showed an inotropic ED.sub.50 of 114 nanomoles/kg, compared to a baseline established prior to drug infusion and an ED.sub.50 for inhibition of the isoproterenol response of 469 nanomoles/kg. Further, as opposed to many prior inotropic agents which show partial beta agonism whereby the inotropic effects can be prevented by infusion of atenolol, the compound of formula (I) produced in Example 19 showed inotropic effects which were not blocked by atenolol. In addition, many other inotropic agents whose inotropic effects are not prevented by atenolol are phosphodiesterase inhibitors which do not have beta blocking properties.
3. Guinea Pig Left Atria Test
Male Hartley guinea-pigs (300-400 grams) were sacrificed by cervical dislocation or carbon dioxide asphyxiation. The hearts were immediately removed and placed in oxygenated Krebs-Henseleit buffer (composition (millimolar): Na.sup.+ 143, K.sup.+ 5.9, Ca.sup.++ 1.25, Mg.sup.++ 1.2, Cl.sup.- 128, HCO.sub.3.sup.- 25, SO.sub.4.sup.-- 1.2, H.sub.2 PO.sub.4.sup.- 1.0, and D-glucose 10). Left atria were dissected away from the remainder of the heart and mounted on holders against platinum punctate electrodes. The mounted atria were placed in tissue baths maintained at 31.degree. C. and oxygenated with 95% O.sub.2 -5% CO.sub.2 under 1.0 gram resting tension. The atria were stimulated through the punctate electrode and an external platimum electrode at the threshold voltage plus thirty percent, one Hertz frequency and five to ten milliseconds duration. Contractions were detected with a force displacement transducer and recorded on a physiograph.
The atria were allowed to equilibrate for at least one-half hour before the experimental compounds were added to the tissue baths. Propranolol (1.0 micromolar) and phentolamine (1.0 micromolar) were added to the buffer solution in the tissue baths to eliminate any effects of endogenous catecholamine release. Propranolol and phentolamine were added at least thirty min prior to the addition of the test compounds. During the equilibration period, the buffer solution was removed and replaced frequently. Phentolamine and propranolol were immediately re-introduced to the tissue baths after refilling with buffer.
Direct effects of the test compounds on the force of atrial contraction were observed and recorded after addition of the compounds to the tissue bath. Test compounds were added in concentrations from 1.0 to 100 micromolar in ten-fold increments (1.0, 10, 100 micromolar) with an additional concentration of 300 micromolar. Atria were exposed to each concentration of the test compounds until a constant response was observed. After a constant response was observed with the highest concentration (or five min in the absence of a response), forskolin was added in the presence of the test compound. Forskolin was added in ten-fold increments from 0.1 to 100 micromolar. Responses to the test compounds and forskolin were expressed as a percentage of the maximal response to forskolin. EC.sub.50 values for the test compounds were calculated as the concentration of the compound neceesary to produce an inotropic response half that of the maximal response produced by the test compound. For the compound produced in Example 19 the maximal response was 83% at 100 micromolar with an ED.sub.50 of 9 micromolar concentration.
4. Beta Adrenoceptor Binding Assays:
Because of its receptor density rat brain cortices were used as the source of membrane vesicles to be used in the receptor binding assays. Freshly excised cortexes were homogenized in 20 volumes (w/v) 50 mM TRIS HCl Buffer (pH 7.5), with a glass/Teflon homogenizer following the procedure previously described by T. J. Rimele in J. Pharmacol. Exp. Ther. 239: 1-8, 1986. Beta-1 adrenoceptor binding activity was determined following methods described by M. H. Randall, et al, J. Med. Chem. 20: 1090-1094, 1977, and J. Homberger, et al in Mol. Pharmacol. 20: 453-469, 1981. The incubation mixture consisted of; 26 microliters of 50 mM TRIS/HCl, 10 mM MgCl.sub.2 pH 7.6 buffer, 25 microliters of test drug or 10-6 pindolol to define nonspecific binding, 100 microliters of [I-125]-Pindolol (2200 Ci/mM) at a final concentration of 10-9, and 100 microliters of brain cortical membranes. The mixture was incubated at room temperature (22.degree. C.) for two hours in the dark. The reaction was stopped by filtration of the mixture through buffer soaked glass fiber membranes (GF/B) using an cell harvesting device (Skatron Inc.). The radioactivity in each filter containing the trapped membrane particles was counted with a gamma counter. The value for non-specific binding in each assay was subtracted from total binding to give a value for specific binding. All specific binding values obtained in the presence of test compounds were expressed as the percentage of specific binding displaced by the individual agents. The resultant values were plotted on a log plot of concentration of test compound vs. percentage of displacement and an IC.sub.50 value (drug concentration which produces 50% displacement) determined. Values obtained by this analysis are then reported as the negative log of the IC.sub.50 (pIC.sub.50) The compound of Example 19 showed a pIC.sub.50 of 7.57.
Pharmaceutical Formulation and Doses
Compounds of the invention of formula (I) may be used in the treatment of CHF in a manner similar to the use of beta-adrenergic blocking agents and (+)-inotropic agents. After suffering a heart attack, one therapy which may be used is administration of a beta-blocker, such as atenolol to lessen oxygen consumption for the damaged heart muscle. However, there is often a negative inotropic action associated with beta-blockers whereby one may consider use of a positive inotropic agent. The usage of compounds of the invention may thus be correlated to the desire to manifest both beta-blocking and positive inotropic actions in a patient.
The compounds of the invention of formula (I) can be administered orally, topically or parenterally, e.g. rectal or i.v., of which the preferred route is oral. The compounds may be admixed with conventional tableting aids, diluents, excepients as known in the art to form tablets, capsules, powders, elixirs, liquids or suspensions as known in the pharmaceutical art. For administration to humans, the compounds of the invention may be administered in an amount of about 0.1 to 5 mg/kg about 1-4 times per day. The particular dosage will depend on the activity of the specific compound chosen and the severity of the physiological condition being treated. The projected dosage can be determined by correlation of test results in pharmacological tests for known positive inotropic agents such as milrinone to those for compounds of formula (I).
In the following examples and throughout the specification, the following abbreviation may be used: g (grams),; mg (milligrams); l (liters); ml (milliliters); M (molar); mM (millimolar); i.v. (intraveneous); Hz (Hertz); dP/dt (change in pressure per time period); mol (moles); DMF (N,N-dimethylformamide); DMSO (dimethylsulfoxide); TFA (trifluoroacetic acid): RT (room temperature); EtoAc (ethyl acetate); min (minutes); hrs (hours); m.p. (melting point); and TLC (thin layer chromatography).
Unless otherwise indicated, all temperatures are expressed in .degree. C. (degrees Centigrade), pressures in mmHg (millimeters of mercury), optical rotations measured at ambient temperature with the concentration (c) being in mg/10 ml and all references to ether are to diethyl ether.

The procedure of Example W was repeated with 1.30 g (3.9 mmol) of (-)-6-[4'-[N-(2-amino-2-methylpropyl)carbamoylmethoxy]phenyl]-4,5-dihydro-5R-methyl-3(2H)-pyridazinone of Example T and 0.68 (3.9 mmol) of (2S)-(-)-glycidyl-2-cyanobenzene of Example D to yield 1.46 g (74%) of (+)-6-[4'[N-[2-[2-cyanophenoxy-2R-hydroxypropylamino]-2-methylpropyl]carbamoylmethoxy]phenyl]-4,5-dihydro-5R-methyl-3(2H)-pyridazinone. This was then converted to 1.58 g (65%) of (-)-6-[4'-[N-[2-[2-cyanophenoxy-2R-hydroxypropylamino]-2-methylpropyl]carbamoylmethoxy]phenyl]-4,5-dihydro-5R-methyl-3(2H)-pyridazinone monomaleate salt as a colorless amorphous solid, m.p. 101.degree.-105.degree. C.; [.alpha.].sub.D 112.degree. (c 0.30, methanol), >95% de (by .sup.1 H NMR in deuterochloroform).
Example Y
(.+-.)-4,5-Dihydro-5-methyl-6-14 '-octanoylphenoxy)-3(2H)-pyridazinone
A 500 ml round-bottomed flask was charged with chloroform (300 ml) and (.+-.)-4,5-dihydro-6-({4-hydroxyphenyl)-5-methyl-3(2H)-pyridazinone (3.0 g, 14.7 mmol), then cooled to 0.degree. C. under an atmosphere of nitrogen. To the slurry was added octanoyl chloride (Aldrich, 2.63 g, 16.2 mmol) followed by triethyl amine (Fisher, 3.27 g, 32.3 mol). The slurry was warmed to 23.degree. C. and stirred for 30 min. The slurry became homogeneous after 30 min. The solution was transferred to a separatory funnel, washed with saturated aqueous sodium bicarbonate (150 ml), then saturated aqueous sodium chloride. The organic solution was dried over magnesium sulfate (10 g), filtered and concentrated in vacuo to provide a solid (4.86 g). The solid was recrystallized from hexane (50 ml)/EtoAc (70 ml) to provide .sup.1 H NMR pure title product (50% yield). m.p. 90.degree.-92.degree. C.
Example Z
(-enriched)-4,5-Dihydro-6-(4'-hydroxyphenyl)-5-methyl-(2H)-pyridazinone
A three-necked 0.25 L round-bottomed flask equipped with a pH electrode wired to a peristatic pump, a 0.1N aqueous sodium hydroxide reservoir and a magnetic stir bar was charged with 0.025M, pH 7 potassium phosphate monobasic-sodium hydroxide buffer (Fisher, 100 ml) and lipase P-30 (Amano, 0.35 g 1500 units/mol). To this was added a solution of (.+-.)-4,5-dihydro-5-methyl-6-(4'-octanoylphenoxy)-3(2H)-pyridazinone from Example Y (2.25 g, 6.81 l mmol) in tetrahydrofuran (Mallinckridt, 35 ml). The pH of the solution was adjusted to 6.8 with glacial acetic acid (0.1 ml). The slurry was stirred at RT maintaining a pH range of of 6.7 to 6.9 by the addition of 0.1N aqueous sodium hydroxide (pH electrode controlled peristatic pump (Cole-Parmer). The enzymatic hydrolysis was terminated after 0.4 equivalents of 0.1N aqueous sodium hydroxide (27.2 ml, 2.72 mmol) was consumed (.apprxeq.35 min). The solution was transferred to a 1 L separatory funnel, diluted with saturated aqueous sodium chloride (100 ml) then extracted with EtOAc (3.times.150 ml). The combined EtOAc extracts were washed with saturated aqueous sodium chloride (200 ml), dried over anhydrous magnesium sulfate (5 g), and concentrated in vacuo to provide a mixture of starting material and the title product. Purification by flash chromatography (chloroform/methanol, 97:3 to 93:7) provided unreacted starting material (1.54 g, 68%) and the title product (0.50 g, 36% yield). [.alpha.].sub.D 168.degree. (c 0.215, methanol), 42% optical purity.
