Substituted pyrimidines, pyrimidinones and pyridopyrimidines

Description

This invention relates to novel substituted pyrimidine, pyrimidinone and pyridopyrimidine compounds and derivatives thereof which are useful as angiotensin II antagonists in the treatment of elevated blood pressure and congestive heart failure. The compounds of the invention are also useful as ocular antihypertensives.
The compounds of this invention also have central nervous system (CNS) activity. They are useful in the treatment of cognitive dysfunctions including Alzheimer's disease, amnesia and senile dementia. These compounds also have anxiolytic and antidepressant properties and are therefore, useful in the relief of symptoms of anxiety and tension and in the treatment of patients with depressed or dysphoric mental states.
BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION
Renin-angiotensin system (RAS) plays a central role in the regulation of normal blood pressure and seems to be critically involved in hypertension development and maintenance as well as congestive heart failure. Angiotensin II (A II), an octapeptide hormone is produced mainly in the blood during the cleavage of angiotensin I by angiotensin converting enzyme (ACE) localized on the endothelium of blood vessels of lung, kidney, and many other organs, and is the end product of the RAS.multidot.A II is a powerful arterial vasoconstrictor that exerts its action by interacting with specific receptors present on cell membranes. One of the possible modes of controlling the RAS is angiotensin II receptor antagonism. Several peptide analogs of A II are known to inhibit the effect of this hormone by competitively blocking the receptors, but their experimental and clinical applications have been limited by partial agonist activity and lack of oral absorption [M. Antonaccio. Clin. Exp. Hypertens. A4, 27-46 (1982); D. H. P. Streeten and G. H. Anderson, Jr.--Handbook of Hypertension, Clinical Pharmacology of Antihypertensive Drugs, ed. A. E. Doyle, Vol. 5, pp. 246-271, Elsevier Science Publisher, Amsterdam, The Netherlands, 1984].
Recently, several non-peptide compounds have been described as A II antagonists. Illustrative of such compounds are those disclosed in U.S. Pat. Nos. 4,207,324; 4,340,598; 4,576,958; and 4,582,847; in European Patent Application Nos. 028,834; 245,637; 253,310; 291,969; 323,841; and 324,377; and in articles by A. T. Chiu, et al. [Eur. J. Pharm. Exp. Therap, 157, 13-21 (1988)] and by P. C. Wong, et al. [J. Pharm. Exp. Therap, 247, 1-7 (1988)]. All of the U.S. Patents, European Patent Application Nos. 028,834 and 253,310 and the two articles disclose substituted imidazole compounds which are generally bonded through a lower alkyl bridge to a substituted phenyl. European Patent Application 245,637 discloses derivatives of 4,5,6,7-tetrahydro-2H-imidazo[4,5-c]-pyridine-6-carboxylic acid and analogs thereof as antihypertensive agents.

Pyrimidinones substituted in the 2,4,5, and 6 positions may be prepared as shown in Scheme 1. The dianion of ethyl hydrogen malonate is made using two equivalents of butyllithium in THF at -78.degree. C. It is then quenched with an acyl chloride then acidified giving the necessary .beta.-ketoester as shown..sup.1 The .beta.-ketoester is then alkylated with the appropriate sidechain using sodium hydride in DMSO (or other suitable base in a suitable solvent) to give intermediate 1. Intermediate 1 may then be treated with an appropriate R.sup.7 -amidine, guanidine, O-alkyl or aryl isourea, or S-alkyl or aryl isothiourea, to give the 2,5,6-trisubstituted pyrimidin-4(3H)-one 2..sup.2
Pyrimidin-4(3H)-one 2 itself may be an A-II antagonist but may also be used as an intermediate for the preparation of 2,3,5,6-tetrasubstituted pyrimidin-4(3H)-ones as indicated in Scheme 2. Intermediate 2 may be deprotonated in DMF with sodium hydride (or other suitable solvent and base) and alkylated with an R.sup.8a electrophile to afford the pyrimidin-4(3H)one 3..sup.3
Scheme 3 illustrates an alternative preparation of pyrimidinone 3. An R.sup.7 nitrile can be converted to an imidate then to an amidine with an R.sup.8a amine. This can then be condensed with .beta.-ketoester 1 to give 3. Similar procedures also exist for the preparation of isoureas, isothiuronium salts, and guanidines..sup.4 Other methods are also available for the introduction of substituents at the 2-position of the pyrimidine..sup.5
Scheme 4 shows how pyrimidinone 2 can be converted to 4-chloropyrimidine 4, which is a useful intermediate for the preparation of other 4-substituted pyrimidines. One could also envision using triflic anhydride and a suitably hindered amine base to give the corresponding pyrimidine triflate that could be used in a similar fashion to the 4-chloropyrimidine..sup.6
Scheme 5 shows how nucleophilic displacement would be achieved using an R.sup.8b nucleophile which could be an amine, alcohol, thiol, or carbon nucleophile with or without a Ni.sup.2+ or Pd.sup.0 catalyst, to give the 2,4,5,6-tetrasubstituted pyrimidine 5..sup.7
Scheme 6 provides a route to the useful intermediate .beta.-ketonitrile 6. Cyanoacetic acid can be condensed with an R.sup.6 acyl chloride to give the .alpha.-unsubstituted R.sup.6 .beta.-ketonitrile..sup.8 This can then be .alpha.-alkylated using NaH in DMSO (or other suitable base and solvent) and the appropriate sidechain electrophile to afford 6.
Scheme 7 shows how the .beta.-ketonitrile 6 can be condensed with an amidine or isourea to give 4-aminopyrimidine 7. The 4-aminopyrimidines such as 7 can be converted to pyrimidin-4(3H)-ones simply by diazotizing them with nitrous acid..sup.9
Scheme 8 shows an alternative pyrimidinone synthesis via an intermediate isoxazole..sup.10 The .beta.-ketonitrile 6 can be converted to the 5-aminoisoxazole 8 upon treatment with hydroxylamine. Acylation with an R.sup.7 acyl halide gives intermediate isoxazole 9 which upon reduction and heating gives pyrimidinone 2.
Pyridopyrimidinones such as 10 can be obtained by condensing variously substituted 2-aminopyridines with .beta.-ketoesters 1 as shown in Scheme 9..sup.11
Scheme 10 illustrates a preparation of a 4-carboxy or 4-carboalkoxy pyrimidine. Ethyl hydrogen malonate can be doubly deprotonated using two equivalents of butyllithium. The dianion can then be used as a nucleophile on which to add the electrophile sidechain to give ethyl ester 11. The ester can then be deprotonated and be added to diethyl oxalate to give the diethyl oxalacetate derivative 12..sup.12 Condensation of this material with an R.sup.7 amidine or isourea would give the 6-carbo-ethoxypyrimidin-4(3H)-one 13..sup.13 Conversion of this material to the 4-chloro (or 4-trifluoromethane-sulfonato) derivative followed by nucleophilic displacement by an R.sup.6 -E: nucleophile such as an amine, alkoxide, or thiol, would give the 2,5,6-trisubstituted-4-carboethoxypyrimidine 14. Hydrolysis of the ester would give the corresponding 4-carboxypyrimidine.
Conversion of the 4-carboxypyrimidine to the 4-acetyl derivative followed by peracid oxidation and hydrolysis would give pyrimidinone 15 as illustrated in Scheme 11. Scheme 12 shows how the 2,3,5,6-tetrasubstituted pyrimidin-4(3H)-one 16 could be prepared from pyrimidinone 15. Scheme 13 shows how the 2,4,5,6-tetrasubstituted pyrimidine 17 can be prepared from intermediate 15 with the R.sup.8b nucleophile as described above..sup.14 Alternatively, one could use triflic anhydride and hindered amine base in place of POCl.sub.3.
Scheme 14 illustrates how the pyrimidine ring system can be built onto what would become the 5-sidechain. Conversion of the bromide 18 to a Grignard reagent, organo-zinc reagent, organo-lithium reagent, or other related organo-metal reagent followed by addition of diethyl oxalate would give the pyruvate derivative 19. Addition of methoxy- or ethoxymethylenetriphenyl-phosphorane or related reagent would give the ethyl .beta.-ethoxyacrylate derivative 20. Condensation of this material with an R.sup.7 -amidine or isourea would provide pyrimidinone 21. Conversion of the 4-hydroxy function to the methoxy followed by addition of a Grignard reagent or alkyllithium and oxidation with dichlorodicyanoquinone would afford the 2,5,6-trisubstituted-4-methoxypyrimidin-4(3H)-one 23. Conversion of the methoxy back to a hydroxy then provides pyrimidinone 2.
Scheme 15 describes the preparation of 4-methoxy-5-bromopyrimidines 25 that may either be converted into nucleophiles and added to the electrophilic sidechain as shown in Scheme 16 or used as electrophiles as illustrated in Scheme 17. Condensation of .beta.-ethoxyacrylate with R.sup.7 -amidine or isourea would provide pyrimidinone 24. Conversion of this material to the 4-methoxy-5-bromopyrimidine 25 is straight forward as shown.
In Scheme 16 the 5-bromopyrimidine is converted to a Grignard, organolithium, or related reagent then added to the electrophilic sidechain (a catalyst or stoichiometric reagent such as CuCN may be added to enhance nucleophilicity or selectivity if necessary) to give pyrimidine 22 which may be used as illustrated previously.
Scheme 17 provides a route to the same intermediate 22 by conversion of the bromide 18 to the organo-metal reagent followed by addition to the electrophilic 5-bromopyrimidine 25.
Scheme 21 illustrates one specific method used to prepare two of the more preferred compounds in Table 1. Scheme 22 illustrates another specific method used to prepare a preferred compound in Table 3.

Where condensations of N--C--N group (amidines, isoureas, isothiuronium salts, etc.) with the C--C--C group (generally the .beta.-keto esters) fail because of initial addition of N--C--N group to the ester rather than the keto group, the .beta.-keto esters may be converted to .beta.-acetoxy, .beta.-ethoxy, .beta.-enol phosphate, .beta.-enol triflate, or similar .beta.-leaving group .alpha.,.beta.-unsaturated esters. [E. Piers, et al, Tet. Lett., 25, 3155 (1984); M. Alderdice, etal, Org. Syn, 62, 14 (1984)] Such a reaction is illustrated in Scheme 18. The N--C--N group may then be condensed with the C--C--C group to give the expected pyrimidinone or pyridopyrimidine. ##STR20##

The compounds of this invention form salts with various inorganic and organic acids and bases which are also within the scope of the invention. Such salts include ammonium salts, alkai metal salts like sodium and potassium salts, alkaline earth metal salts like the calcium and magnesium salts, salts with organic bases; e.g., dicyclohexylamine salts, N-methyl-D-glucamine, salts with amino acids like arginine, lysine, and the like. Also, salts with organic and inorganic acids may be prepared; e.g., HCl, HBr, H.sub.2 SO.sub.4, H.sub.3 PO.sub.4, methanesulfonic, toluensulfonic, maleic, fumaric, camphorsulfonic. The non-toxic, physiologically acceptable salts are preferred, although other salts are also useful, e.g., in isolating or purifying the product.
The salts can be formed by conventional means such as by reacting the free acid or free base forms of the product with one or more equivalents of the appropriate base or acid in a solvent or medium in which the salt is insoluble, or in a solvent such as water which is then removed in vacuo or by freeze-drying or by exchanging the cations of an existing salt for another cation on a suitable ion exchange resin.
Antiotensin II (AII) is a powerful arterial vasoconstrictor, and it exerts its action by interacting with specific receptors present on cell membranes. The compounds described in the present invention act as competitive antagonists of AII at the receptors. In order to identify AII antagonists and determine their efficacy in vitro, the following two ligand-receptor binding assays were established.
Receptor binding assay using rabbit aortae membrane preparation:
Three frozen rabbit aortae (obtained from Pel-Freeze Biologicals) were suspended in 5 mM Tris-0.25M Sucrose, pH 7.4 buffer (50 ml), homogenized, and then centifuged. The mixture was filtered through a cheesecloth and the supernatant was centrifuged for 30 minutes at 20,000 rpm at 4.degree. C. The pellet thus obtained was resuspended in 30 ml of 50 mM Tris-5 mM MgCl.sub.2 buffer containing 0.2% Bovine Serum Albumin and 0.2 mg/ml Bacitracin, and the suspension was used for 100 assay tubes. Samples tested for screening were done in duplicate. To the membrane preparation (0.25 ml) there was added .sup.125 I-Sar.sup.1 Ile.sub.8 -angiotensin II [ovtained from New England Nuclear] (10 .mu.l; 20,000 cpm) with or without the test sample, and the mixture was incubated at 37.degree. C. for 90 minutes. The mixture was then diluted with ice-cold 50 mM Tris-0.9% NaCl, pH 7.4 (4 ml) and filtered through a glass fiber filter (GF/B Whatman 2.4" diameter). The filter was soaked in scintillation cocktail (10 ml) and counted for radioactivity using Packard 2660 Tricarb liquid scintillation counter. The inhibitory concentration (IC.sub.50) of potential AII antagonist, which gives 50% displacement of the total specifically bound .sup.125 I-Sar.sup.1 Ile.sup.8 -angiotensin II, was presented as a measure of the efficacy of such compounds as AII antagonists.
Receptor assay using Bovine adrenal cortex preparation
Bovine adrenal cortex was selected as the source of AII receptor. Weighed tissue (0.1 g is needed for 100 assay tubes) was suspended in Tris.HCl (50 mM), pH 7.7 buffer and homogenized. The homogenate was centrifuged at 20,000 rpm for 15 minutes. Supernatant was discarded and pellets resuspended in buffer [Na.sub.2 HPO.sub.4 (10 mM)-NaCl (120 mM)-disodium EDTA (5 mM) containing phenylmethane sulfonyl fluoride (PMSF) (0.1 mM)]. (For screening of compounds generally duplicates of tubes are used). To the membrane preparation (0.5 ml) there was added 3H-angiotensin II (50 mM) (10 .mu.l), with or without the test sample, and the mixture was incubated at 37.degree. C. for 1 hour. The mixture was then diluted with Tris buffer (4 ml) and filtered through a glass fiber filter (GF/B Whatman 2.4" diameter). The filter was soaked in scintillation cocktail (10 ml) and counted for radioactivity using Packard 2660 Tricarb liquid scintillation counter. The inhibitory concentration (IC.sub.50) of potential AII antagonist, which gives 50% displacement of the total specifically bound .sup.3 H-angiotensin II, was presented as a measure of the efficacy of such compounds as AII antagonists.
The potential antihypertensive effects of the compounds described in the present invention may be evaluated using the methodology described below:
Male Charles River Sprague-Dawley rats (300-375 gm) were anesthetized with methohexital (Brevital; 50 mg/kg i.p.). The trachea was cannulated with PE 205 tubing. A stainless steel pithing rod (1.5 mm thick, 150 mm long) was inserted into the orbit of the right eye and down the spinal column. The rats were immediately placed on a Harvard Rodent Ventilator (rate--60 strokes per minute, volumn--1.1 cc per 100 grams body weight). The right carotid artery was ligated, both left and right vagal nerves were cut, the left carotid artery was cannulated with PE 50 tubing for drug administration, and body temperature was maintained at 37.degree. C. by a thermostatically controlled heating pad which received unput from a rectal temperature probe. Atropine (1 mg/kg i.v.) was then administered and 15 minutes later propranolol (1 mg/kg i.v.). Thirty minutes later angiotensin II or other agonists were administered intravenously at 30-minute intervals and the increase in the diastolic blood pressure was recorded before and after drug or vehicle administration.
Using the methodology described above, representative compounds of the invention were evaluated and were found to exhibit an activity of at least IC.sub.50 <50 .mu.M, thereby demonstrating and confirming the utility of the compounds of the invention as effective AII antagonists.
Thus, the compounds of the invention are useful in treating hypertension. They are also of value in the management of acute and chronic congestive heart failure, in the treatment of secondary hyperaldosteronism, primary and secondary pulmonary hypertension, renal failure such as diabetic nephropathy, glomerulonephritis, sclerederma, and the like, renal vascular hypertension, left ventricular dysfunction, diabetic retinopathy, and in the management of vascular disorders such as migraine or Raynaud's disease. The application of the compounds of this invention for these and similar disorders will be apparent to those skilled in the art.
The compounds of this invention are also useful to treat elevated intraocular pressure and can be administered to patients in need of such treatment with typical pharmaceutical formulations such as tablets, capsules, injectables and the like as well as topical ocular formulations in the form of solutions, ointments, inserts, gels, and the like. Pharmaceutical formulations prepared to treat intraocular pressure would typically contain about 0.1% to 15% by weight, preferably 0.5% to 2% by weight, of a compound of this invention.
In the management of hypertension and the clinical conditions noted above the compounds of this invention may be utilized in compositions such as tablets, capsules or elixirs for oral administration, suppositories for rectal administration, sterile solutions or suspensions for parenteral or intramuscular administration, and the like. The compounds of this invention can be administered to patients (animals and human) in need of such treatment in dosages that will provide optimal pharmaceutical efficacy. Although the dose will vary from patient to patient, depending upon the nature and severity of disease, the patient's weight, special diets then being followed by a patient, concurrent medication and other factors, which those skilled in the art will recognize the dosage range will generally be about 1 to 1000 mg. per patient per day which can be administered in single or multiple doses. Perferably, the dosage range will be about 2.5 to 250 mg. per patient per day; more preferably about 2.5 to 75 mg. per patient per day.
The compounds of this invention can also be administered in combination with other antihypertensives such as diuretics, angiotensin converting enzyme inhibitors, clacium channel blockers or .beta.-blockers. For example, the compounds of this invention can be given in combination with such compounds as amiloride, atenolol, bendroflumethiazide, chlorothalidone, chlorothiazide, clonidine, cryptenamine acetates and cryptenamine tannates, deserpidine, diazoxide, guanethidene sulfate, hydralazine hydrochloride, hydrochlorothiazide, metholazone, metoprolol tartate, methyclothiazide, methyldopa, methyldopate hydrochloride, minoxidil, pargyline hydrochloride, polythiazide, prazosin, propranolol, rauwolfia serpentina, rescinnamine, reserpine, sodium nitroprusside, spironolactone, timolol maleate, thrichlormethiazide, trimethophan camsylate, benzthiazide, quinethazone, ticrynafan, triamterene, acetazolamide, amino-phylline, cyclothiazide, ethacrynic acid, furosemide, merethoxylline procaine, sodium ethacrynate, captopril, delapril hydrochloride, enalapril, enalaprilat, fosinopril sodium, lisinopril, pentopril, quinapril hydrochloride, ramapril, teprotide, zofenopril calcium, diflusinal, diltiazem, felodipine, nicardipine, nifedipine, niludipine, nimodipine, nisoldipine, nitrendipine, and the like, as well as admixtures and combinations thereof.
Typically, the individual daily dosages for these combinations can range from about one-fifth of the minimally recommended clinical dosages to the maximum recommended levels for the entities when they are given singly.
To illustrate these combinations, one of the angiotensin II antagonist of this invention effective clinically in the 2.5-250 milligrams per day range can be effectively combined at levels at the 0.5-250 milligrams per day range with the following compounds at the indicated per day dose range: hydrochlorothiazide (15-200 mg) chlorothiazide (125-2000 mg), ethacrynic acid (15-200 mg), amiloride (5-20 mg), furosemide (5-80 mg), propranolol (20-480 mg), timolol maleate (5-60 mg), methyldopa (65-2000 mg), felodipine (5-60 mg), nifedipine (5-60 mg), and nitrendipine (5-60 mg). In addition, triple drug combinations of hydrochlorothiazide (15-200 mg) plus amiloride (5-20 mg) plus angiotensin II antagonist of this invention (3-200 mg) or hydrochlorothiazide (15-200 mg) plus timolol maleate (5-60) plus an angiotensin II antagonist of this invention (0.5-250 mg) or hydrochlorothiazide (15-200 mg) and nifedipine (5-60 mg) plus an angiotensin II antagonist of this invention (0.5-250 mg) are effective combinations to control bllod pressure in hypertensive patients. Naturally, these dose ranges can be adjusted on a unit basis as necessary to permit divided daily dosage and, as noted above, the dose will vary depending on the nature and severity of the disease, weight of patient, special diets and other factors.
Typically, these combinations can be formulated into pharmaceutical compositions as discussed below.
About 1 to 100 mg. of compounds or mixture of compounds of Formula I or a physiologically acceptable salt is compounded with a physiologically acceptable vehicle, carrier, excipient, binder, preservative, stabilizer, flavor, etc., in a unit dosage form as called for by accepted pharmaceutical practice. The amount of active substance in these compositions or preparations is such that a suitable dosage in the range indicated is obtained.
Illustrative of the adjuvants which can be incorporated in tablets, capsules and the like are the following: a binder such as gum tragacanth, acacia, corn starch or gelatin; an excipient sich as microcrystalline cellulose; a disintegrating agent such as corn starch, pregelatinized starch, alginic acid and the like; a lubricant such as magnesium stearate; a sweetening agent such as sucrose, lactose or saccharin; a flavoring agent such as peppermint, oil of wintegreen or cherry.

A syrup or elixir may contain the active compound, sucrose as a sweetening agent, methyl and propyl parabens as preservatives, a dye and a flavoring such as cherry or orange flavor.
Sterile compositions for injection can be formulated according to conventional pharmaceutical practice by dissolving or suspending the active substance in a vehicle such as water for injection, a naturally occurring vegetable oil like sesame oil, coconut oil, peanut oil, cottonseed oil, etc., or a synthetic faffy vehicle like ethyl oleate or the like. Buffers, preservatives, antioxidants and the like can be incorporated as required.
The following examples illustrate the preparation of the compounds of formula (I) and their incorporation into pharmaceutical compositions and as such are not to be considered as limiting the invention set forth in the claims appended hereto. All .sup.1 H-NMR spectra were recorded on a Varian XL-300 Fourier transform spectrometer or on a Bruker 250 MHz spectrometer. Chemical shifts are reported as (parts per million) downfield from tetramethylsilane. Mass spectra were obtained from the Merck and Co. mass spectral facility in Rahway, N.J. Analytical TLC was conducted on E. Merck precoated silica plates (0.25 mm in glass, Kieselgel 60 F.sub.254) with UV visualization. All chromatography was conducted on E. Merck silica gel. All reactions were carried out under an atmosphere of dry nitrogen under standard conditions for those skilled in the art.
The useful central nervous system (CNS) activities of the compounds of this invention are demonstrated and exemplified by the ensuing assays.
COGNITIVE FUNCTION ASSAY
The efficacy of these compounds to enhance cognitive function can be demonstrated in a rat passive avoidance assay in which cholinomimetics such as physostigmine and nootropic agents are known to be active. In this assay, rats are trained to inhibit their natural tendency to enter dark areas. The test apparatus used consists of two chambers, one of which is brightly illuminated and the other is dark. Rats are placed in the illuminated chamber and the elapsed time it takes for them to enter the darkened chamber is recorded. On entering the dark chamber, they receive a brief electric shock to the feet. The test animals are pretreated with 0.2 mg/kg of the muscarinic antagonist scopolamine which disrupts learning or are treated with scopolamine and the compound which is to be tested for possible reversal of the scopolamine effect. Twenty-four hours later, the rats are returned to the illuminated chamber. Upon return to the illuminated chamber, normal young rats who have been subjected to this training and who have been treated only with control vehicle take longer to re-enter the dark chamber than test animals who have been exposed to the apparatus but who have not received a shock. Rats treated with scopolamine before training do not show this hesitation when tested 24 hours later. Efficacious test compounds can overcome the disruptive effect on learning which scopolamine produces. Typically, compounds of this invention should be efficacious in this passive avoidance assay in the dose range of from about 0.1 mg/kg to about 100 mg/kg.
ANXIOLYTIC ASSAY
The anxiolytic activity of the invention compounds can be demonstrated in a conditioned emotional response (CER) assay. Diazepam is a clinically useful anxiolytic which is active in this assay. In the CER protocol, male Sprague-Dawley rats (250-350 g) are trained to press a lever on a variable interval (VI) 60 second schedule for food reinforcement in a standard operant chamber over weekly (five days per week) training sessions. All animals then receive daily 20 minute conditioning sessions, each session partitioned into alternating 5 minute light (L) and 2 minute dark (D) periods in a fixed L1D1L2D2L3 sequence. During both periods (L or D), pressing a lever delivers food pellets on a VI 60 second schedule: in the dark (D), lever presses also elicit mild footshock (0.8 mA, 0.5 sec) on an independent shock presentation schedule of VI 20 seconds. Lever pressing is suppressed during the dark periods reflecting the formation of a conditioned emotional response (CER).
Drug testing in this paradigm is carried out under extinction conditions. During extinction, animals learn that responding for food in the dark is no longer punished by shock. Therefore, response rates gradually increase in the dark periods and animals treated with an anxiolytic drug show a more rapid increase in response rate than vehicle treated animals. Compounds of this invention should be efficacious in this test procedure in the range of from about 0.1 mg/kg to about 100 mg/kg.
DEPRESSION ASSAY
The antidepressant activity of the compounds of this invention can be demonstrated in a tail suspension test using mice. A clinically useful antidepressant which serves as a positive control in this assay is desipramine. The method is based on the observations that a mouse suspended by the tail shows alternate periods of agitation and immobility and that antidepressants modify the balance between these two forms of behavior in favor of agitation. Periods of immobility in a 5 minute test period are recorded using a keypad linked to a microcomputer which allows the experimenter to assign to each animal an identity code and to measure latency, duration and frequency of immobile periods. Compounds of this invention should be efficacious in this test procedure in the range of from about 0.1 mg/kg to about 100 mg/kg.
SCHIZOPHRENIA ASSAY
The antidopaminergic activity of the compounds of this invention can be demonstrated in an apomorphine-induced sterotypy model. A clinically useful antipsychotic drug that is used as a positive control in this assay is haloperidol. The assay method is based upon the observation that stimulation of the dopaminergic system in rats produces stereotyped motor behavior. There is a strong correlation between the effectiveness of classical neuroleptic drugs to block apomorphine-induced stereotypy and to prevent schizophrenic symptoms. Stereotyped behavior induced by apomorphine, with and without pretreatment with test compounds, is recorded using a keypad linked to a microcomputer. Compounds of the invention should be efficacious in this assay in the range of from about 0.1 mg/kg to about 100 mg/kg.
In the treatment of the clinical conditions noted above, the compounds of this invention may be utilized in compositions such as tablets, capsules or elixirs for oral administration, suppositories for rectal administration, sterile solutions or suspensions for parenteral or intramuscular administration, and the like. The compounds of this invention can be administered to patients (animals and human) in need of such treatment in dosages that will provide optimal pharmaceutical efficacy. Although the dose will vary from patient to patient depending upon the nature and severity of disease, the patient's weight, special diets then being followed by a patient, concurrent medication, and other factors which those skilled in the art will recognize, the dosage range will generally be about 5 to 6000 mg. per patient per day which can be administered in single or multiple doses. Perferably, the dosage range will be about 10 to 4000 mg. per patient per day; more preferably about 20 to 2000 mg. per patient per day.
