Description

SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION

This invention relates to novel pyrano[3,2-c][1,2]benzothiazine 6,6-dioxides having the formula I: ##SPC1##

wherein R represents hydrogen and lower alkyl and R' represents lower alkyl, formyl and hydroxymethyl and the corresponding aldehyde thiosemicarbazone derivatives thereof. These compounds, and pharmaceutical compositions containing them, have anti-secretory activity and are useful in the treatment of hyperacidity; certain of these compounds demonstrate anti-allergy activity.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION

The novel compounds of this invention have the general formula I: ##SPC2##

wherein R represents hydrogen and lower alkyl and R' represents lower alkyl, formyl and hydroxymethyl and the corresponding aldehyde thiosemicarbazone derivatives thereof.

Compounds having formula I wherein R and R' are as described above exhibit anti-secretory effects and can be used in relieving gastric hyperacidity. When administered to mammals, such as rats and guinea pigs in a suitable vehicle, as described below, they inhibit the gastric secretion of hydrochloric acid; acidity in the stomach is thus reduced. Pharmaceutical compositions containing compounds of formula I are indicated in the management of gastric hyperacidity and in the treatment of peptic ulcer resulting from such hyperacidity.

Compounds of formula I, when tested according to the procedure of H. Shay, Gastroenterology 5: p. 43 (1945) are effective in reducing gastric acidity in the pylorus ligated rat, when administered intraperitoneally at a dosage of 5 to 20 mg/kg of body weight. At a dosage of 5 to 40 mg/kg of body weight, administered intraduodenally, the same compounds are effective in reducing gastric acidity when subjected to this last mentioned test. Thus, the effective dose range for treatment of gastric hyperacidity is from 5 to 40 mg/kg of body weight of the mammal being treated, administered parenterally. Pharmaceutical compositions containing compounds having formula I may be administered in an aqueous gum tragacanth suspension as an intramuscular injection. The dosage regimen of from 5 to 40 mg/kg of body weight may be varied depending upon the severity of the condition and the weight, age and sex of the mammal being treated. As a particularly active class of compounds having anti-secretory activity, there may be mentioned those having formula I above, wherein R represents lower alkyl, preferably methyl, ethyl and butyl; and R' represents lower alkyl (preferably methyl), formyl and hydroxymethyl and the corresponding aldehyde thiosemicarbazone derivatives thereof.

Compounds of formula I wherein R represents lower alkyl, preferably methyl, ethyl and butyl, and R' represents formyl and hydroxymethyl have also been found to be useful in the treatment of allergic conditions. These compounds have been found to reduce responses to antigen challenge by inhibiting antibody and antigen reactions in mammals when tested in accordance with the procedure of I.Mota, Life Sciences, 4: No. 7, p. 465-474 (1963) and Ovary, Z. et al., Proc. Soc. Exptl. Biol. Med. 81: p. 584-586 (1952). The compounds may be administered to mammals such as rats or guinea pigs, parenterally or orally, at dosages of approximately 100 mg/kg of body weight.

Aforementioned compounds having anti-allergic properties may be administered in a parenterally acceptable vehicle such as a gum tragacanth suspension or they may be combined with pharmaceutical diluents such as lactose, cornstarch and the like and formulated into tablet or capsule dosage forms.

Pharmaceutical compositions containing aforementioned compounds having anti-allergic properties are useful in the management of allergic conditions such as bronchial asthma. To treat bronchial asthma, a dose of 100 mg/kg of body weight administered orally or parenterally is suggested. This dosage may be varied depending on the condition of the patient.

The novel compounds of this invention having formula I above may be prepared by either of the following procedures.

According to one process, described in co-pending application Ser. No. 365,398, filed May 29, 1973, compounds of formula I: ##SPC3##

wherein R represents hydrogen and lower alkyl; R' represents lower alkyl and formyl, are prepared by reacting a starting material of the formula II or III: ##SPC4## wherein R represents hydrogen and lower alkyl, with a boron trifluoride compound (preferably boron trifluoride etherate) and, in the case of starting material II, with an acid anhydride of the formula IV: (R'CH.sub.2 CO).sub.2 O IV wherein R' represents hydrogen or lower alkyl, to obtain a boron complex intermediate having the formula V: ##SPC5## wherein R represents hydrogen, lower alkyl and lower acyl and R' represents lower alkyl; and treating intermediate V with a Vilsmeier reagent (phosphorus oxychloride together with dimethylformamide), followed by hydrolysis.

The Vilsmeier reagent used is phosphorus oxychloride (POCl.sub.3) with dimethylformamide (DMF). The substituents obtained on final compound I depend on the boron intermediate V used. For example, if R' in the boron intermediate V is methyl (i.e., the substituent in the 4-position is methyl) and DMF is used, a final compound I is obtained wherein R' is 3-formyl, as in Examples VII to X. However, when R' in the boron intermediate V is ethyl and DMF is used, a final compound I is obtained wherein R' is 3-methyl, as in Example XI.

Another unusual result occurs during the preparation of the compounds of this invention when 3-acetyl-2H-1,2-benzothiazin-4(3H)-one 1,1-dioxide is used as the starting material III in the process of aforementioned co-pending application Serial No. 365,398, filed May 29, 1973: an acetyl group attaches to the nitrogen atom of the boron intermediate complex, i.e., 5-acetyl-2,2-difluoro-4-methyl-2H-1,3,2-dioxaborino[5,4-c]1,2-benzothiazine 6,6-dioxide is formed (see Example IV). During the second step of the reaction, this 5-acetyl group is removed and the nitrogen atom in the final compound is unsubstituted.

The starting materials II and III above are prepared by known methods or obvious adaptations thereof, as described in Zinnes, H. et al., "1,2-Benzothiazines. II. The Preparation and Sodium Borohydride Reduction of 3-Acyl-2H-1,2-benzothiazin-4(3H)-one 1,1-Dioxides", J. Org. Chem 30: 2241-2246 (1965) and in Zinnes, H. et al., "1,2-Benzothiazines. III. The Preparation of 2H-1,2-Benzothiazin-4(3H)-one 1,1-Dioxide by the Acid-Catalyzed Deacetylation of .beta.-Diketone", J. Org. Chem 31: 162-165 (1966).

The boron trifluoride compound used is, preferably, boron trifluoride etherate.

According to a second method, certain compounds of the subject invention having formula I: ##SPC6##

wherein R represents hydrogen and lower alkyl and R' represents hydroxymethyl may be prepared by treating the corresponding 4-hydroxy-2-lower alkyl-2H-1,2-benzothiazin-3-yl(methylsulfinyl)-methyl ketone S,S-dioxide having formula VI below: ##SPC7## wherein R is as defined above, with formaldehyde to obtain intermediate VII below: ##SPC8## wherein R is as defined above, and thermally treating intermediate VII to eliminate CH.sub.3 SOH. Starting material VI and its preparation are generally described in co-pending U.S. Ser. No. 174,947, filed Aug. 25, 1971, now U.S. Pat. No. 3,806,644. The reaction procedure for converting starting material VI into the corresponding hydroxymethyl final compounds is generally described in co-pending application U.S. Ser. No. 309,329, filed Nov. 24, 1972, now U.S. Pat. No. 3,798,240.

In formulas I to VII above, the terms used to describe substitutents are more fully defined as follows: "lower alkyl" is meant to include lower aliphatic hydrocarbons having 1 to 6 (preferably 1 to 4) carbon atoms in the carbon chain such as methyl, ethyl, propyl, isopropyl, butyl, and isobutyl. The acyl in the term "lower acyl" is meant to include lower alkyl carboxylic acids wherein the "lower alkyl" moiety has the above described meaning.

In order to further illustrate the practice of this invention, the following examples are included:
