Substituted triazolinones, triazolinethiones, and triazolinimines as angiotensin II antagonists

This invention relates to novel substituted triazolinone, triazolinethione and triazolinimine compounds and derivatives thereof which are useful as angiotensin II antagonists in the treatment of elevated blood pressure and congestive heart failure. Thus, the substituted triazolinone, triazolinethione and triazolinimine compounds of the invention are useful as antihypertensives.
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) is an octapeptide hormone 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. It is the end product of the renin-angiotensin system (RAS) and 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 the 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; 4,582,847; and 4,880,804; in European Patent Applications 028,834; 245,637; 253,310; and 291,969; 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 Applications 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, specifically Ca.sup.2+ channel blockers.

DISCUSSION OF CHEMISTRY AND REACTION SCHEMES
The compounds of Formula I can be prepared by a variety of methods typified by those described below. General synthetic methods for 2,4,5-trisubstituted-2,4-dihydro-3H-1,2,4-triazol-3-ones and -triazole-3-thiones are discussed in books or review articles such as:
(1) C. Temple and J. A. Montgomery, "Triazoles: 1,2,4" (Vol. 37 of The Chemistry of Heterocyclic Compounds, A. Weissberger and E. C. Taylor, eds.), Wiley-Interscience, New York, 1981, pp. 365-442.
(2) J. B. Polya, Comprehensive Heterocyclic Chemistry. The Structure, Reactions, Synthesis and Uses of Heterocyclic Compounds, A. R. Katritzky and C. W. Rees, eds., Vol. 5, Pergamon Press, Oxford, 1984, pp. 733-790.
(3) J. H. Boyer, Heterocyclic Compounds, R. C. Elderfield, ed., Vol. 7, John Wiley & Sons, New York, 1961, pp. 384-461.
In general, the compounds of Formula I are constructed in such a way that N.sup.1 and N.sup.2 of the triazole ring are derived from hydrazine or a hydrazine derivative, while N.sup.4 of the triazole and the 4-(arylmethyl) substituent are derived directly or indirectly from a suitably substituted benzylamine (or isocyanate or isothiocyanate) or from a benzyl halide (or methanesulfonate, p-toluenesulfonate, etc.).
Although the Reaction Schemes described below are reasonably general, it will be understood by those skilled in the art of organic synthesis that one or more functional groups present in a given compound of Formula I may render the molecule incompatible with a particular synthetic sequence. In such a case an alternative route, an altered order of steps, or a strategy of protection and deprotection may be employed. In all cases the particular reaction conditions (including reagents, solvent, temperature, and time) should be chosen so that they are consistent with the nature of the functionality present in the molecule.
The Reaction Schemes below have been generalized for simplicity. It is to be understood that the "ArCH.sub.2 " substituent present at N.sup.4 of the triazole derivatives or in their precursors is any substituted arylmethyl moiety consistent with the definition of the N.sup.4 substituent in Formula I or which may be transformed to such a grouping either before or after the assembly of the triazole ring system. Such transformations may involve protection and/or deprotection, formation of the "X" linkage between the two aromatic rings as shown in Formula I, or other modifications. It is also to be understood that in most of the Reaction Schemes, the "ArCH.sub.2 " (Ar=aryl) substituent may be replaced by the homologous "Ar(CH.sub.2).sub.2 " group as consistent with the definition of Formula I.
It is further to be understood that in the generalized schemes below, unless specified otherwise, the R, R' and R" groups represent functionalized or unfunctionalized alkyl, aryl, heteroaryl, aralkyl, and the like, while Ar' represents a functionalized or unfunctionalized aryl or heteroaryl group. The moiety, R'X, represents an alkylating agent in which R' is typically a functionalized or unfunctionalized alkyl or aralkyl group, while X is a leaving group such as chloro, bromo, iodo, methanesulfonate, or p-toluenesulfonate. In structures showing an "X" group double-bonded to a carbon atom (as in 22 and products derived therefrom), X is O or S. ##STR42##
One of the most widely used routes to 2,4,5-trisubstituted-2,4-dihydro-3H-1,2,4-triazol-3-ones ("triazolinones") is shown in Reaction Scheme 1 in its adaptation for the synthesis of compounds of Formula I. Reaction of a carboxylic acid hydrazide 1 (readily obtained from the corresponding ester) with the appropriate arylmethyl isocyanate 2 gives the 1-acyl-4-(arylmethyl)semicarbazide 3. The isocyanate 2 itself is obtainable by well-known methods from various sources, including the (arylmethyl)amine (by phosgene treatment), the arylmethyl halide (by treatment with cyanate anion), and the arylacetic acid or derivative (via Curtius rearrangement of the acyl azide). Upon heating in the presence of hydroxide or alkoxide, cyclization of 3 to the triazolinone 4 occurs. Finally, in the presence of a base (e.g., sodium hydride, sodium ethoxide, sodium hydroxide, or potassium carbonate), 4 is converted to the trisubstituted triazolinone 5 on treatment with a suitable alkylating agent R'X, where R' is alkyl, aralkyl, etc., and X is bromo, iodo, chloro, methanesulfonate, p-toluenesulfonate, and the like. Such reaction pathways have been described by D. L. Temple, Jr., and W. G. Lobeck, Jr., U.S. Pat. No. 4,487,773 (1984), R. E. Gammans, D. W. Smith, and J. P. Yevich, U.S. Pat. No. 4,613,600 (1986), and (in part) H. Gehlen and W. Schade, Liebigs Ann. Chem., 675, 180 (1964), G. Palazzo, U.S. Pat. No. 3,857,845 (1974), and K. H. Hauptmann and K. Zeile, British Patent 971,606 (1964). A modified approach to an intermediate of type 3 and its subsequent cyclization to a triazolinone analogous to 4 have been reported by H. Hrebabecky and J. Beranek, Collect, Czech. Chem. Commun., 50, 779 (1985). ##STR43##
A highly useful alternative route to 4 is shown in Reaction Scheme 2. This approach has been described by M. Pesson, S. Dupin, and M. Antoine, Compt. Rend., 253, 285 (1961) and R. Un and A. Ikizler, Chim. Acta Turc., 3, 113 (1975). Addition of ethyl carbazate (8) to the imidate 7 (which is readily prepared from the corresponding nitrile 6) yields an adduct 9, which can be converted to the triazolinone 4 on heating with the (arylmethyl)amine 10 (typically at temperatures from 70.degree.-150.degree. C.). As in Reaction Scheme 1, 4 can be alkylated to give the trisubstituted triazolinone 5. ##STR44##
The procedures of Reaction Schemes 1 and 2 are not suitable for the introduction of most aryl or heteroaryl substituents at N.sup.2. In contrast, the procedures of Reaction Schemes 3 to 6 are especially well suited for the synthesis of compounds of Formula I having aryl or heteroaryl substituents at N.sup.2, since the triazolinone ring is constructed with the N.sup.2 -substituent in place, whereas the N.sup.4 -substituent is introduced subsequently by alkylation. Reaction Scheme 3 presents a route patterned after that reported by K. Yabutani, K. Taninaka, M. Kajioka, K. Takagi, H. Matsui, K. Sutoh, and M. Yamamoto, European Patent Application 220,952 (1987). The N-carbethoxy imidate 11 (obtained by reaction of 7 with ethyl chloroformate) is treated with an arylhydrazine 12 (or analog), typically at about 40.degree.-50.degree. C. Without isolation of the intermediate, further heating at elevated temperature (usually in the range of 90.degree.-150.degree. C.) in the presence of a tertiary amine such as triethylamine effects cyclization to the triazolinone 13. In the presence of a suitable base (e.g., sodium hydride, sodium alkoxide, sodium hydroxide) treatment of 13 with the appropriate ArCH.sub.2 X, where X=bromo, iodo, chloro, methanesulfonate, p-toluenesulfonate, and the like, yields the N.sup.4 -alkylated product 15. A variant of the method using a thioimidate has been described by M. Kajioka, H. Kurono, K. Okawa, and M. Harada, U.S. Pat. No. 4,318,731 (1982). ##STR45##
An alternative route to the N.sup.2 -substituted triazolinone intermediate 13 is shown in Reaction Scheme 4. This chemistry has been described by T. N. Ghosh and M. V. Betrabet, J. Indian Chem. Soc., 7, 899 (1930), S. Bellioni, Ann. Chim. (Rome), 52, 187 (1962), G. Palazzo and G. Picconi, Boll. Chim. Farm., 105, 217 (1966), and British Patent 1,021,070 (1966). An acid chloride 16 is heated with urethane (17) (typically at 80.degree.-100.degree. C.), to give the acylurethane 18. Reaction of 18 with an arylhydrazine 12 and phosphorus pentoxide (usually in toluene or xylene at reflux) gives 13, which can then be further alkylated on N.sup.4 as in Reaction Scheme 3. A (thioacyl)urethane modification of this pathway has been reported by D. L. Temple, Jr., and W. G. Lobeck, Jr., U.S. Pat. No. 4,487,773 (1984). ##STR46##
A variation of Reaction Scheme 4, shown in Reaction Scheme 5, has been described by P. Gold-Aubert, D. Melkonian, and L. Toribio, Helv. Chim. Acta, 47, 1188 (1964) and A. L. Langis, U.S. Pat. No. 3,499,000 (1970). The readily prepared acylurea 19 upon heating with an arylhydrazine 12 (at about 150.degree.-200.degree. C.) is converted to the triazolinone intermediate 13. ##STR47##
In a quite different approach (Reaction Scheme 6), L. Maravetz, U.S. Pat. No. 4,705,557 (1987) and G. Theodoridis, International Patent Application WO87/03782 (1987) disclose condensing an .alpha.-keto acid 20 with the arylhydrazine 12 to give derivatives such as 21, which can be converted to the triazolinone intermediate 13 by heating with diphenylphosphoryl azide and triethylamine (typically at 75.degree.-115.degree. C.). In the last step, an intermediate acyl azide loses nitrogen and undergoes the Curtius rearrangement to an isocyanate, which undergoes ring closure. As shown in Reaction Scheme 3, 13 can then be alkylated on N.sup.4 to give the trisubstituted triazolinone 15. ##STR48##
Still another route to N.sup.2 -aryl triazolinone intermediates of structure 13 is illustrated in Reaction Scheme 6A. In this method [G. Theodoridis and J. W. Lyga, International Patent Application WO91/03470 (1991)], an aldehyde 22a is reacted with the arylhydrazine 12 in glacial acetic acid. The intermediate hydrazone 22b may either be isolated or treated directly in the same pot with aqueous potassium cyanate. The aryl triazolidinone thus formed is again frequently not isolated but rather treated directly with an aqueous sodium hypochlorite solution, resulting in oxidation to the triazolinone 13. ##STR49##
The triazolinone intermediate 13 can also be made according to reaction Scheme 6B [B. George and E. P. Papadopoulos, J. Org. Chem., 41, 3233 (1976); R. E. Manning, D. B. Reitz, and H.-C. Huang, PCT Patent Appl. WO 91/18888 (1991)]. Ethoxycarbonyl isothiocyanate (22c) is reacted with an alkylmagnesium halide 22d (typically in ether at about -50.degree. C. to room temperature). The resulting N-(ethoxycarbonyl) thioamide 22e is heated with arylhydrazine 12 (for example, in ethanol or 2-methoxyethanol at reflux) to yield the triazolinone 13. ##STR50##
2,4,5-Trisubstituted-2,4-dihydro-3H-1,2,4-triazole-3-thiones ("triazolinethiones") cannot generally be prepared by routes analogous to those in Reaction Schemes 1 to 6 because of the propensity for alkylation to occur on sulfur rather than on the open ring nitrogen. It is thus preferable to have all of the substituents in place at the time of the ring closure to form the heterocycle. As shown in Reaction Scheme 7, for certain R' groups (e.g., R'=CH.sub.3), reaction of the hydrazine derivative 23 with the appropriate isocyanate or isothiocyanate 22 yields the 2,4-disubstituted semicarbazide or thiosemicarbazide 24. Acylation of 24 gives 25, which can be cyclized upon heating with hydroxide or alkoxide to give the trisubstituted triazolinone or triazolinethione 26. This approach has been detailed by J. M. Kane and F. P. Miller, U.S. Pat. No. 4,775,688 (1988) and G. F. Duffin, J. D. Kendall, and H. R. J. Waddington, J. Chem. Soc., 3799 (1959). Alternative methods of ring closure, such as heating 24 with the orthoester 27, can also be utilized. ##STR51##
In Reaction Scheme 8, acylation of an aryl- or heteroaryl hydrazine gives 28, which can be reacted with the isocyanate or isothiocyanate 22 to yield the 1-acyl-2,4-disubstituted-semicarbazide or -thiosemicarbazide 29. Cyclization of 29 upon heating with hydroxide or alkoxide affords the triazolinone or triazolinethione 30. This chemistry has been described by H. Gehlen and W. Schade, Liebigs Ann. Chem., 675, 180 (1964). ##STR52##
The method of F. Russo, M. Santagati, and G. Pappalardo [Ann. Chim. (Rome), 62, 351 (1972)] (Reaction Scheme 9) is useful for the synthesis of trisubstituted triazolinones and triazolinethiones having benzylic substituents at N.sup.2. Treatment of a hydrazide 1 with an aromatic or heteroaromatic aldehyde followed by reduction with sodium borohydride gives the substituted hydrazide 31. Reaction of 31 with the isocyanate or isothiocyanate 22 affords the semicarbazide or thiosemicarbazide derivative 32, which is cyclized to the triazolinone or triazolinethione 33 upon heating with hydroxide or alkoxide. ##STR53##
In another approach (Reaction Scheme 10), imidate 7 is treated with a substituted hydrazine 23 (especially an aryl or heteroaryl hydrazine) to give the amidrazone 34. Heating 34 with the isocyanate or isothiocyanate 22 gives the triazolinone or triazolinethione 26. Syntheses of this type have been reported by M. Santus, Acta Pol. Pharm., 37, 293 (1980); T. Bany, Rocz. Chem., 42, 247 (1968); and, T. Bany and M. Dobosz, Ann. Univ. Mariae Curie-Sklodowska, Sect. AA, 26/27, 23 (1971). ##STR54##
A route to 2,4,5-trisubstituted-2,4-dihydro-3H-1,2,4-triazol-3-imines ("triazolinimines") is outlined in Reaction Scheme 11. Reaction of the (arylmethyl)amine 10 with benzoyl isothiocyanate (or by other means) gives the substituted thiourea 35, which is methylated to prepare the isothiourea derivative 36. Compound 36 can be transformed to the acylaminoguanidine 37 by reacting with the hydrazide 1 or to the aminoguanidine 38 by reacting with hydrazine. Ring closure of 37 by heating in DMF or cyclization of 38 with carboxylic acid 39 at elevated temperature affords the aminotriazole 40, which can be separated from the isomer 41. Such pathways have been described by G. J. Durant, G. M. Smith, R. G. W. Spickett, and S. H. B. Wright, J. Med. Chem., 9, 22 (1966) and E. Akerblom, Acta Chem. Scand., 19, 1135 (1965). Finally, alkylation of 40 with the appropriate R'X (where X is a leaving group such as iodo, bromo, chloro, p-toluenesulfonate, or methanesulfonate) leads to the triazolinimine 42, which can be separated from any other isomers or by-products formed during the reaction. This method has been described by E. B. Akerblom and D. E. S. Campbell, J. Med. Chem., 16, 312 (1973). ##STR55##
The route shown in Reaction Scheme 12 utilizes chemistry reported by E. Akerblom, Acta Chem. Scand., 19., 1135 (1965). The substituted isothiourea 43 is treated with amine 10 to give the aminoguanidine derivative 44. Acylation of 44 with the acid chloride 16 provides the intermediate 45, which can be cyclized by heating with hydroxide or alkoxide. The desired triazolinimine 46 is separated from the isomeric product 47. ##STR56##
Reaction scheme 12A shows the conversion of triazolinone 5 to the triazolinethione 47a upon heating with Lawesson's Reagent [2,4-bis(4-methoxyphenyl)-1,3-dithia-2,4-phosphetane-2,4-disulfide] [S. O. Lawesson and B. S. Pedersen, Tetrahedron, 35, 2433 (1979)], preferably in a solvent such as DMF at reflux. Alkylation of 47a with methyl iodide (may be conducted with heating at about 50.degree.-150.degree. C. in a pressure vessel) yields the S-methyltriazolium iodide 47b [see S. D. Ziman, J. Heterocycl. Chem., 17, 1319 (1980) for similiar reaction]. Alternatively, the alkylation can be run at lower temperature with a more reactive alkylating agent, such as trimethyloxonium tetrafluoroborate. Reaction of 47b with an excess of an amine (R"NH.sub.2) furnishes the triazolinimine 47c. For volatile amines, this reaction may be carried out by heating 47b with the anhydrous amine in a pressure vessel. Optimally, the methylthio group of 47b may be converted to an even better leaving group by oxidation to the sulfoxide or sulfone with m-chloroperbenzoic acid prior to treatment with the amine, R"NH.sub.2. ##STR57##
For the synthesis of compounds of formula (I) wherein E=--S--, Reaction Schemes 13 and 14 may be utilized. In Reaction Scheme 13, the isothiocyanate 22 is reacted with ethyl carbazate (8) to give the 1-(carbethoxy)thiosemicarbazide 48. By standard conditions, 48 is S-alkylated to yield 49, which can be cyclized to the triazolinone 50 by heating, optionally in the presence of base or acid [F. Kurzer and D. R. Hanks, Chem. Ind. (London), 1143 (1966)]. Finally, alkylation of the triazolinone as in Reaction Scheme 1 provides the fully substituted product 51. ##STR58##
Following the chemistry of K. Sasse [Liebigs Ann. Chem., 735, 158 (1970)](Reaction Scheme 14), an arylhydrazine 12 is treated with carbon disulfide in the presence of base followed by treatment with methyl iodide to give the dithiocarbamoyl derivative 52. Reaction of 52 with the (arylmethyl)amine 10 yields the 1,4-disubstituted thiosemicarbazide 53. Cyclization of 53 to 54 is accomplished in two steps by first heating with diethyl carbonate and then treating with hydroxide to induce ring closure. Further treatment of 54 with an alkyl halide gives the desired S-alkyl triazolinone 55. A modification allowing the synthesis of compounds analogous to 55 in which the "Ar" substituent is replaced by an alkyl (or aralkyl) group has also been described by Sasse (see reference above). In a variation [method of A. Dornow and H. Paucksch, Chem. Ber., 99, 85 (1966)], 53 may be first S-alkylated to give 56, which can be cyclized to 55 upon heating with ethyl chloroformate. ##STR59##
Reaction Scheme 15 shows routes to key intermediates used for incorporation of a (2'-carboxybiphenyl-4-yl)methyl or [2'-(5-tetrazolyl)biphenyl-4-yl]methyl substituent into a 2,4-dihydro-3H-1,2,4-triazol-3-one or -triazole-3-thione at the 4-position. One starting material, 4-bromomethyl-2'-(t-butoxycarbonyl)biphenyl (57), can be prepared as described in European Patent Application 253,310 (or as modified in U.S. application Ser. No. 351,508, filed 15 May 1989. Treatment of 57 with potassium phthalimide at room temperature in a suitable solvent such as N,N-dimethylformamide gives the phthalimido product 58, which is converted to the amine 59 by a standard hydrazinolysis procedure. Alternatively, using the methods described in European Patent Application 253,310, 57 may be treated with sodium azide in dimethylformamide, and the resulting azide intermediate may be reduced to the amine 59 by hydrogenation in the presence of palladium catalyst or by other methods known in the literature. After conversion of 57 or 59 to a triazolinone, triazolinethione, or triazolinimine by methods illustrated in the previous schemes, the t-butyl ester is readily deprotected by treatment with trifluoroacetic acid at room temperature.
Transformation of 5-[4'-(bromomethyl)biphenyl-2-yl]-N-trityltetrazole (60) (prepared as in European Patent Application 291,969 or as modified in U.S. application Ser. No. 351,508, filed 15 May 1989 to the azido intermediate 61 is accomplished by standard means such as treatment with lithium azide in dimethyl sulfoxide at room temperature. Reduction of 61 to the amine 62 proceeds readily using the conditions of M. Vaultier, N. Knouzi, and R. Carrie [Tetrahedron Lett., 24, 763 (1983)] (triphenylphosphine in tetrahydrofuran followed by water). By use of the methods outlined in previous schemes, 60 or 62 can be converted to a triazolinone, triazolinethione, or triazolinimine. Removal of the trityl protecting group from the tetrazole is achieved by warming in aqueous acetic acid.
Alternatively, 4-bromomethyl-2'-cyanobiphenyl (63) (described in European Patent Application 253,310) can be converted to the azide intermediate 64 as disclosed in U.S. patent application Ser. No. filed (attorney docket No. 17960, submitted for filing Jul. 17, 1989). Reduction of 64 by the method described above for the synthesis of 62 gives the amine 65. After conversion of 63 or 65 to a triazolinone, triazolinethione, or triazolinimine by methods illustrated in the previous schemes, the cyano substituent may be converted to the desired 5-tetrazolyl group by reaction with trimethyltin azide at elevated temperature in a suitable solvent such as toluene or xylene according to methods described in European Patent Application 291,969. Final destannylation to the free tetrazole may be accomplished by treatment with silica gel as described in U.S. patent application Ser. No. 382,138, filed Jul. 19, 1989.
Although specific examples have been shown for the synthesis of compounds of formula (I) wherein X is a single bond, these methods are readily extended to the preparation of compounds of formula (I) having other X linkages allowed by the specifications. Depending on the nature of X, this linkage may be constructed either before or after assembly of the triazole ring. The construction of heterocyclic side chains analogous to the N.sup.4 side chain of compounds of formula (I), in which variations of the X group are exemplified, has been disclosed in U.S. patent applications Ser. Nos. 351,508, filed May 15, 1989, 382,138, filed Jul. 19, 1989 and European Patent Application 253,310. ##STR60## wherein: Y represents an alkyl, aryl, heteroaryl, or aralkyl group bearing the designated substituent (i.e., carbomethoxy, carboxy, etc.)
Further transformations of substituent functional groups can be carried out after assembly of the triazole ring and either before or after full elaboration of the arylmethyl substituent at N.sup.4. Typical examples are shown in Reaction Scheme 16. Thus the methyl ester of 66 can be saponified by treatment with aqueous sodium hydroxide (optionally in the presence of a cosolvent such as alcohol, tetrahydrofuran, or dioxane) at room temperature to give, after acidification, the acid 67. The N-methyl amide 68 is readily obtained by reaction of 66 with excess aqueous methylamine at room temperature in the presence of a cosolvent such as methanol. Reduction of the methyl ester 66 to the alcohol 69 can be accomplished by treatment with lithium borohydride in a solvent such as tetrahydrofuran. These examples are in no way exclusive of other functional group transformations which can be accomplished after formation of the triazolinone, triazolinethione, or triazolinimine system, and which will be apparent to anyone skilled in the art. ##STR61## Alternative Methods: a) (i) SOCl.sub.2, .DELTA. (ii) R.sup.23 SO.sub.2 NH.sup.- M.sup.+ (where M is Na or Li)
b) (i) (COCl).sub.2 /DMF,-20.degree. C. (ii) R.sup.23 SO.sub.2 NH.sup.- M.sup.+
c) (i) N-(N,N-Diphenylcarbamoyl)pyridinium chloride/aq. NaOH (ii) R.sup.23 SO.sub.2 NH.sup.- M.sup.+.
Compounds of formula (I) wherein R.sup.1 is --CONHSO.sub.2 R.sup.23 (where R.sup.23 is substituted or unsubstituted alkyl, aryl, or heteroaryl) may be prepared from the corresponding carboxylic acid derivatives (70) as outlined in Reaction Scheme 17. The carboxylic acid 70, obtained as described in Reaction Scheme 15 and preceding schemes (followed by deprotection of the t-butyl ester with trifluoroacetic acid), can be converted into the corresponding acid chloride by treatment with thionyl chloride at reflux or, preferably, with oxalyl chloride and a catalytic amount of dimethylformamide at low temperature [A. W. Burgstahler, et al., Synthesis, 767 (1976)]. The acid chloride can then be treated with the alkali metal salt of R.sup.23 SO.sub.2 NH.sub.2 to form the desired acylsulfonamide 71. Alternatively, 71 may be prepared from 70 using N,N-diphenylcarbamoyl anhydride intermediates [F. J. Brown, et al., European Patent Application EP 199,543; K. L. Shepard and W. Halczenko, J. Heterocycl. Chem., 16, 321 (1979)]. Preferably, the carboxylic acid 70 is treated with carbonyldiimidazole to give an acyl-imidazole intermediate, which can then be treated with an appropriate aryl- or alkylsulfonamide in the presence of 1,8-diazabicyclo[5.4.0]undec-7-ene (DBU) to give the desired acylsulfonamide 71. ##STR62##
The preparation of compounds of formula (I) wherein R.sup.1 is --SO.sub.2 NH-heteroaryl, --SO.sub.2 NH-R.sup.9 or --SO.sub.2 NHCOR.sup.23 is outlined in Reaction Scheme 18. p-Bromotoluene (72) is converted to the trimethylstannane derivative 73 [S. M. Moerlein, J. Organometal. Chem., 319, 29 (1987)], which may be coupled with o-bromonitrobenzene in the presence of (Ph.sub.3 P).sub.4 Pd or (Ph.sub.3 P).sub.2 PdCl.sub.2 catalyst to give the biphenyl derivative 74. Such couplings have been described by J. K. Stille, Pure Appl. Chem., 57, 1771 (1985); T. R. Bailey, Tetrahedron Lett., 27, 4407 (1986); and D. A. Widdowson and Y-Z. Zhang, Tetrahedron, 42, 2111 (1986). Bromination of 74 with N-bromosuccinimide in the presence of catalytic benzoyl peroxide gives 75, which upon treatment with lithium azide in DMSO yields the azido derivative 76. Reduction of 76 to the amine 77 may be accomplished by treatment with triphenylphosphine followed by water. In an alternative route, the bromo group of 75 may be displaced by potassium phthalimide. Hydrazinolysis of the phthalimide derivative yields 77.
By the methods described in the previous schemes, the amine 77 can be converted to a variety of triazolinones, triazolinethiones, and triazolinimines of the general formula 78. Certain triazolinones, especially those in which B is aryl or heteroaryl, may be made directly from 75 by alkylation of a pre-formed triazolinone as in Reaction Schemes 3-6. Reduction of the nitro group of 78, preferably with stannous chloride/hydrochloric acid gives the amino derivative 79. Diazotization of the amine 79. and reaction of the diazonium salt with sulfur dioxide in the presence of cupric chloride affords the corresponding arylsulfonyl chloride 80 [see H. Meerwein, et al., Chem. Ber., 90, 841 (1957); A. J. Prinsen and H. Cerfontain, Rec. Trav. Chim., 84, 24 (1965); E. E. Gilbert, Synthesis, 3 (1969); and references cited therein]. Treatment of the sulfonyl chloride 80 with an appropriate heteroaryl amine provides the N-heteroaryl sulfonamide 81. Similar treatment with R.sup.9 -NH.sub.2 yields a substituted sulfonamide of structure 81a. Reaction of the sulfonyl chloride with ammonia yields the sulfonamide 82, which is then treated with an appropriate acylating agent (such as an acid chloride, a carbamoyl chloride, or an acyl-imidazole derivative) to give the acylsulfonamide product 83. The reaction is generally conducted in the presence of a base such as pyridine (may be used as solvent) or DBU (in a solvent such as THF). Alternatively, the sulfonamide 82 may be deprotonated with a strong base such as sodium hydride prior to the acylation. For the synthesis of 83 wherein R.sup.23 is --NHR.sup.21, the carbamoylating reagent may be an isocyanate of the formula R.sup.21 NCO.
N-Heteroarylsulfonamides of structure 81 may also be prepared from the sulfonamide 82 by deprotection with sodium hydride followed by heating with a compound of the type Het-X, where X is an appropriate leaving group such as Cl. Reactions of this type have been described by H. Bretschneider, J. Dehler, and W. Klotzer, Monatsh. Chem., 95, 207 (1964). Similarly, a subclass of structure 81a wherein R.sup.9 is an aryl group bearing one or more electron-withdrawing substituents may be prepared from 82. Thus, treatment of 82 with sodium hydride in DMF followed by reaction with an appropriate aryl fluoride (such as 4-fluoronitrobenzene), generally at 50.degree.-150.degree. C., yields the N-arylsulfonamide 82a
Certain N-heterocyclylsulfonamides may also be obtained by use of the chemistry developed by Merchan [E. Melendez, F. L. Merchan, P. Merino, J. Orduna and R. Urchegui, J. Heterocycl. Chem., 28, 653 (1991); F. L. Merchan, J. Garin, and T. Tejero, Synthesis, 984 (1982)]. By these methods, the sulfonamide 82 is deprotonated with sodium hydride in DMF and treated first with carbon disulfide at room temperature and then with methyl iodide at 0.degree. C. to give the bis(methylthio)methylene derivative 82b. This intermediate can be reacted with an o-aminophenol, an o-aminothiophenol, or an o-phenylenediamine (typically in DMF at 100.degree.-150.degree. C. and optionally in the presence of a base) to give a benzoxazol-2-yl, benzothiazol-2-yl, or benzimidazol-2-yl derivative 82c. Similarly, heating 82b with diaminomaleonitrile (optionally in the presence of base) yields the 4,5-dicyanoimidazol-2-yl derivative 82d. In a variation of the procedure, 82b is first treated with a solution of chlorine in acetic acid at 15.degree. C. to give a dichloromethylene derivative, which is similarly convertible to 82c and 82d but under somewhat milder conditions. ##STR63##
Reaction Scheme 19 shows an alternative sequence leading to 83 in which a protected sulfonamide is present at the time of the biaryl coupling. By the methods described above, o-bromoaniline (84) is converted to the corresponding sulfonyl chloride 85. Treatment of 85 with ammonia and then with trityl chloride in the presence of triethylamine yields the N-trityl sulfonamide 86. p-Bromobenzyl alcohol (87) is t-butyldimethylsilylated, and the resulting 88 is coupled with 86 under the conditions described above to give the biphenyl product 89. The silyl group is removed with tetrabutylammonium fluoride, and treatment of the alcohol with triphenylphosphine/carbon tetrabromide gives the bromo derivative 90. Using the methods of Scheme 18 and earlier schemes, 90 may be transformed into a variety of triazoles of the general formula 91. The trityl protecting group is removed with aqueous acetic acid to give the free sulfonamide 82 which is acylated to yield the target 83 as in Scheme 18. ##STR64##
Still another route to target compounds of structure 83 is illustrated in Reaction Scheme 20. In a variation of Scheme 19, 2-bromobenzenesulfonyl chloride (85) is reacted with an excess of t-butylamine to yield the t-butylsulfonamide 92. The trimethylstannyl derivative 73 may be prepared as shown in Scheme 18 or may be conveniently prepared from p-tolylmagnesium bromide (93) by treatment with trimethyltin chloride at -35.degree. C. to room temperature. Cross-coupling of 73 with 92 catalyzed by bis(triphenylphosphine)palladium(II) chloride in DMF at about 90.degree. C. affords the biphenyl derivative 94. The bromomethyl species 95 is obtained by heating 94 with N-bromosuccinimide (NBS) in carbon tetrachloride in the presence of an initiator such as 2,2'-azobis(isobutyronitrile) (AIBN). The heterocycle 96 is elaborated by the methods of Scheme 18 and earlier schemes. The free sulfonamide 82 is obtained by deprotection of 96 with trifluoroacetic acid in the presence of anisole. Conversion of 82 to 83 is accomplished as in Scheme 19. ##STR65##
Reaction Scheme 21 demonstrates the synthesis of compounds of formula I in which R.sup.1 is a trifluoromethanesulfonamido group. Treatment of the amino derivative 79 with either trifluoromethanesulfonyl chloride or trifluoromethanesulfonic anhydride gives, depending on the conditions, either the mono(trifluoromethanesulfonyl) derivative 97 or the bis(trifluoromethanesulfonyl) derivative 97a as the major or exclusive product. The sulfonylation may be carried out in pyridine or, alternatively, in methylene chloride in the presence of a base such as 2,6-di-t-butyl-4-methylpyridine. The disulfonylated product 97a is converted to the target compound 97 by warming with sodium hydroxide in aqueous methanol. ##STR66##
A route to compounds of formula I bearing a carbamoylphosphinic R.sup.1 group is illustrated in Reaction Scheme 22. The amino intermediate 79 may be converted to the isocyanate 97b upon heating with phosgene in an inert solvent. Reaction of 97b with phenylphosphinic acid (98) in the presence of triethylamine, according to the method of Fox and Bailey [R. B. Fox and W. J. Bailey, J. Org. Chem., 25, 1447 (1960)], gives the carbamoylphosphinic acid derivative 99. The method may be extended to the use of ring-substituted phenylphosphinic acids. ##STR67##
The incorporation of an aryl- or alkylphosphinoyl group at the R.sup.1 position of compounds of formula I is shown in Reaction Scheme 23. The nitrobiphenyl intermediate 74 is readily reduced to the amine 100 using either stannous chloride reduction or catalytic hydrogenation. The amine 100 upon diazotization with nitrous acid and treatment with cuprous bromide yields the bromobiphenyl derivative 101. The bromomethyl derivative 102 is obtained from 101 by standard NBS bromination conditions as described in previous schemes. Employing the methods of Reaction Scheme 18 and earlier schemes, 102 is converted to the triazolinone, triazolinethione, or triazolinimine 103. Next, 103 undergoes palladium-catalyzed cross-coupling with a monoethyl arene- or alkanephosphonite 104, using the conditions of Xu [Y. Xu, Z. Li, J. Xia, H. Guo, and Y. Huang, Synthesis, 377 (1983); Y. Xu, H. Wei, and J. Xia, Liebigs Ann. Chem., 1139 (1988)], to give the disubstituted phosphinate ester 105. The phosphonite intermediate 104 may be obtained by reaction of a Grignard reagent R.sup.23 MgBr with diethyl chlorophosphite followed by partial hydrolysis [Y. Xu, H. Wei, and J. Xia, Liebigs Ann. Chem., 1139 (1988)]. Finally, the phosphinate ester of 105 may be saponified by heating with sodium hydroxide in aqueous methanol [P. Tavs, Chem. Ber., 103, 2428 (1970)]. ##STR68##
Compounds of formula I in which R.sup.1 is an acylsulfamide group, --NHSO.sub.2 NHCOR.sup.23, may be prepared as outlined in Scheme 24. The amine 79 is treated with an acylsulfamoyl chloride, R.sup.23 CONHSO.sub.2 Cl (prepared by reacting the corresponding carboxylic acid with chlorosulfonyl isocyanate at 50.degree. C.) in THF in the presence of triethylamine at -50.degree. C. to room temperature, yielding the acylsulfamide 107. ##STR69##
The synthesis of some compounds of formula (I) in which n is 0 (zero) and X is R.sup.1 are shown in Reaction Scheme 25. The triazolinone 13 may be alkylated with methyl 4-(bromomethyl)benzoate (108) under conditions previously described to give 109, which is readily saponified to the free acid 110. Similarly, 13 is alkylated with 4-cyanobenzyl bromide (111) to yield 112, which is converted to the tetrazole 113 by reaction with trimethyltin azide according to previously described conditions. Treatment of 3-chloro-4-methylbenzoic acid (114) with isobutylene under pressure in the presence of sulfuric acid affords the t-butyl ester 115. .alpha.-Bromination of 115 with N-bromosuccinimide under standard conditions gives 116, which is converted to the amine 117 by the methods of Scheme 15. This is further transformed to the triazolinone 118 according to the methods of Scheme 2. Further alkylation with R'X (see Scheme 1) followed by deprotection with trifluoroacetic acid provides the free acid 119. The transformations described in Schemes 17-24 can be adapted to prepare a variety of other acidic substituents at the para-position of a benzyl group linked to N.sup.4 of the triazolinone, triazolinethione, or triazolinimine. ##STR70##
As shown in Reaction Scheme 26, intermediate 120, which contains a nitro substituent and is prepared according to the previous schemes, is reduced, as appropriate, with stannous chloride in the presence of concentrated hydrochloric acid or by catalytic hydrogenation to give the amino derivative 121. In the presence of a base such as sodium hydride, 121 can be reacted with an acid chloride to give the amide 122, with a chloroformate to give the carbamate 123, with an isocyanate to give the urea 124, or with a carbamoyl chloride to give a trisubstituted urea 125. Also, 121 can be converted to a substituted-amino derivative 126. For R=aryl, this may be accomplished conveniently by first heating 121 with the aldehyde in the presence of a catalytic amount of piperidine in a solvent such as isopropanol. The intermediate Schiff base is then reduced (optionally without isolation) by use of sodium borohydride in ethanol or sodium cyanoborohydride in methanol to provide 126. For R=alkyl or aralkyl, the transformation may be accomplished by reacting 121 with the aldehyde in the presence of molecular sieves and sodium cyanoborohydride (present initially or added later), preferably at about 10.degree.-40.degree. C. Alternatively, for R=aryl, alkyl, hydrogen, etc., 121 may be deprotonated with a strong base such as lithium bis(trimethylsilyl)amide in a solvent such as DMF and then reacted with the appropriate alkyl or aralkyl iodide or bromide to afford 126. Subsequently, 126 can be acylated as described above to yield the tertiary amide 127, which may also be prepared by alkylation of 122 in the presence of a strong base such as lithium bis(trimethylsilyl)amide in a solvent such as DMF. ##STR71##
In Reaction Scheme 27, intermediate 128, which bears a methyl or ethyl ester substituent and is synthesized according to the previous reaction schemes, is treated with a neat amine, generally at about 20.degree.-100.degree. C., to provide the amide 129. This method is particularly useful for primary amines. Compound 128 may also be saponified under standard conditions to the carboxylic acid 130. With use of a condensing agent such as 1,1'-carbonyldiimidazole, BOP reagent or N,N'-dicyclohexylcarbodiimide, 130 can be reacted with an amine to give the amide product 131. This method is suitable for secondary as well as primary amines. Similarly, 128 (at the t-butylsulfonamide intermediate stage) is converted to the N-methoxy-N-methylamide 132. Following the Weinreb method [S. Nahm and S. M. Weinreb, Tetrahedron Lett., 22, 3815 (1981)], 132 can be reacted with a Grignard reagent to afford the ketone product 133.
By use of these methods and others analogous to those shown in Reaction Schemes 26 and 27, all of the V.sup.2 substituents can be elaborated at the stage corresponding to the t-butylsulfonamide intermediate 96 or the acylsulfonamide 83. When the transformations are carried out at the t-butylsulfonamide stage, final conversion to the desired acylsulfonamide is accomplished as in Reaction Scheme 20.
The route shown in Scheme 28 is particularly useful for preparing compounds of Formula I in which the distal ring of the biphenylmethyl side chain bears a substituent (for example, alkyl) at the 5'-position in addition to the sulfamoyl moiety at the 2'-position. A 4-substituted benzenesulfonyl chloride 134 is converted to the N-t-butylsulfonamide 135 as in Scheme 20. Based on a literature method [M. J. Sharp, W. Cheng, and V. Snieckus, Tetrahedron Lett., 28, 5093 (1987)], metalation ortho to the sulfonamide is achieved with n-butyllithium in THF at -40.degree. to 0.degree. C. Then treatment with triisopropyl borate followed by acidic work-up affords the boronic acid 136. This undergoes cross-coupling with 4-bromobenzyl alcohol (87) in the presence of tetrakis(triphenylphosphine)palladium(0) according to literature methods [M. J. Sharp, et al., op. cit.; N. Miyaura, T. Yanagi, and A. Suzuki, Synth. Commun., 11, 513 (1981)] to give the biphenylmethyl alcohol 137. A triazolinone base 138, prepared as in the previous schemes, can be directly alkylated with 137 in the presence of diisopropyl azodicarboxylate (DIAD) in THF at -10.degree. C. to room temperature, following the methods of Mitsunobu [O. Mitsunobu, Synthesis, 1 (1981)]. The product 139 can be further converted to compounds of formula I analogous to 83 by the methods of Schemes 20, 26 and 27. ##STR72##
Scheme 29 illustrates a variation of Scheme 28 in which the coupling reaction to form the biphenyl side chain is carried out after alkylation of the triazolinone ring. This variation is especially useful for the introduction of one or two substituents (R.sup.3a, R.sup.3b) on the proximal ring of the biphenyl. The distal ring may be unsubstituted or substituted (for example, as shown in the scheme, R.sup.2a may be hydrogen or alkyl). The triazolinone 138 is deprotonated with a base such as sodium hydride in a solvent like DMF and treated with the 4-bromobenzyl bromide derivative 140 to yield the N.sup.4 -benzylated triazolinone 141. Useful examples of 140 include 4-bromo-2-fluorobenzyl bromide (commercially available) and 4-bromo-3-fluorobenzyl bromide (readily prepared by photochemical bromination of the commercially available 4-bromo-3-fluorotoluene). Palladium(0)-catalyzed coupling of 141 with the boronic acid 136 as in Scheme 28 gives triazolinone 142 bearing the substituted biphenyl side chain. This is elaborated to the desired compounds of formula I by the methods of Schemes 20, 26 and 27. ##STR73##
In a variation of Scheme 29, shown in Scheme 30, the 4-bromotoluene derivative 145 is coupled with 136 to give the 4-methylbiphenyl product 144. This is photochemically brominated, for example, with N-bromosuccinimide in the presence of an initiator such as AIBN or benzoyl peroxide, or with bromine, to give the bromomethyl derivative 145. Alkylation of the sodium salt of triazolinone 138 with 145 affords 142, which is processed further as in Scheme 29 to yield the desired compounds of formula I. ##STR74##
A further variation of Schemes 28, 29, and 30, depicted in Scheme 31, allows the formation of compounds of formula I with a different pattern of substitution on the distal ring of the biphenyl side chain. This method is most effective when a 2-substituted or 2,5-disubstituted benzenesulfonyl chloride 146 is available, such that R.sup.2b is not hydrogen and R.sup.2a and R.sup.2b are not too strongly activating for the ortho-directed metalation step. Under these circumstances, transformation of 146 as in Scheme 28 via the t-butylsulfonamide 147 leads to a single or dominant regioisomer of the boronic acid 148. (A useful example of 146 is 2,5-difluorobenzenesulfonyl chloride, which may be prepared from 2,5-difluoroaniline via diazotization and treatment with CuCl.sub.2 /SO.sub.2 as in Scheme 18.) By the methods of Schemes 28-30, 148 is converted to the substituted biphenylmethyl triazolinone 149. Further transformation to the desired compounds of formula I is accomplished as previously described. ##STR75##
The synthesis of triazolinones having at N.sup.2 a phenyl group substituted with trifluoromethyl at the 2-position and acylamino at the 5-position is presented in Scheme 32. Thus, 2-bromo-5-nitroaniline (150) is diazotized and reduced to the arylhydrazine 151. By the methods of Scheme 3, this is converted to the 2-bromo-5-nitrophenyl-substituted triazlinone 152. Based on literature conditions [D.-B. Su, J.-X. Duan, and Q.-Y. Chen, Tetrahedron Lett., 32, 7689 (1991)], 152 is heated at about 120.degree. C. with methyl chlorodifluoroacetate, cuprous iodide, potassium fluoride, and potassium bromide in DMF, resulting in displacement of bromo by trifluoromethyl to give 153. This transformation may be carried out at the N-t-butyl-biphenylsulfonamide stage corresponding to 142 or 149. Reduction of the nitro group in 153 with hydrogen in the presence of a catalyst like platinum oxide or with stannous chloride-hydrochloric acid affords the amine 154, which is acylated as in Scheme 26 to give the desired acylamino product 155. ##STR76##
Scheme 33 illustrates the synthesis of triazolinones in which the N.sup.2 -phenyl moiety is substituted with a trifluoromethyl group at the 2-position and a substituted aminocarbonyl or ketone group at the 5-position. The commercially available compound 4-bromo-3-nitrotoluene (156) is converted to the trifluoromethyl analog 157 by the chemistry described in Scheme 32. The methyl group of 157 is oxidized to the carboxylic acid with potassium permanganate [H. T. Clarke and E. R. Taylor, Org. Syn., Coll. Vol., 2, 135 (1943)] or with tetrabutylammonium permanganate in pyridine [T. Sala and M. V. Sargent, J. Chem. Soc. Chem. Commun., 253 (1978)] or with the ruthenium tetroxide-sodium hypochlorite system [Y. Sasson, G. D. Zappi, and R. Neumann, J. Org. Chem., 51, 2880 (1986)] and then esterified to the methyl ester 158 under standard conditions by heating With methanol in the presence of concentrated sulfuric acid. Catalytic hydrogenation of 158 provides the amine 159, which is converted to the substituted triazolinone 160 by the methods of Scheme 32. Following the methods of Scheme 27, the methyl ester of 160 is transformed to the N-substituted aminocarbonyl group (as in 161) or the acyl group (as in 162). ##STR77##
It will be appreciated by those skilled in the art that the protecting groups used in these syntheses will be chosen to be compatible with subsequent reaction conditions. Ultimately, they will be removed to generate the active compounds of formula (I). For example, R.sup.1 as carboxyl is often protected as its t-butyl ester which in the last step is removed by treatment with trifluoroacetic acid. Aqueous acetic acid employed overnight is a preferred method to remove a trityl protecting group to liberate an R.sup.1 tetrazole group.
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, alkali 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, 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.
Angiotensin II (A II) 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 A II at the receptors. In order to identify A II 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 centrifuged. 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.sup.8 -angiotensin II [obtained 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 A II 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 A II antagonists.
Receptor assay using rat brain membrane preparation
Membranes from rat brain (thalamus, hypothamus and midbrain) were prepared by homogenization in 50 mM Tris HCl (pH 7.4), and centrifuged at 50,000.times.g. The resulting pellets were washed twice in 100 mM NaCl, 5 mM Na.sub.2.EDTA, 10 mM Na.sub.2 HPO.sub.4 (pH 7.4) and 0.1 mM PMSF by resuspension and centrifugation. For binding assays, the pellets were resuspended in 160 volumes of binding assay buffer (100 mM NaCl, 10 mM Na.sub.2 HPO.sub.4, 5 mM Na.sub.2.EDTA, pH 7.4, 0.1 mM PMSF, 0.2 mg/ml soybean trypsin inhibitor, 0.018 mg/ml o-phenanthroline, 77 mg/ml dithiothreitol and 0.14 mg/ml bacitracin. For .sup.125 I.Ile.sup.8 -angiotensin II binding assays, 10 .mu.l of solvent (for total binding), Sar.sup.1,Ile.sup.8 -angiotensin II (1 .mu.M) (for nonspecific binding) or test compounds (for displacement) and 10 .mu.l of [.sup.125 I]Sar.sup.1,Ile.sup.8 -angiotensin II (23-46 pM) were added to duplicate tubes. The receptor membrane preparation (500 .mu.l) was added to each tube to initiate the binding reaction. The reaction mixtures were incubated at 37.degree. C. for 90 minutes. The reaction was then terminated by filtration under reduced pressure through glass-fiber GF/B filters and washed immediately 4 times with 4 ml of 5 mM ice-cold Tris HCl (pH 7.6) containing 0.15M NaCl. The radioactivity trapped on the filters was counted using a gamma counter.
Using the methodology described above, representative compounds of the invention were evaluated and all 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 A II 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.) and 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, volume--1.1 cc per 100 grams body weight). The right carotid artery was ligated, both left and right vagal nerves were cut, and 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 input 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 all 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 A II antagonists.

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 5.0 to 500 mg. per patient per day; more preferably about 5 to 300 mg. per patient per day.

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 compound 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.

When the dosage unitform is a capsule, it may contain, in addition to materials of the above type, a liquid carrier such as fatty oil. Various other materials may be present as coatings or to otherwise modify the physical form of the dosage unit. For instance, tablets may be coated with shellac, sugar or both. 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 occuring vegetable oil like sesame oil, coconut oil, peanut oil, cottonseed oil, etc., or a synthetic fatty vehicle like ethyl oleate or the like. Buffers, preservatives, antioxidants and the like can be incorporated as required.

EXAMPLE 1
5-n-Butyl-4-[(2'-carboxybiphenyl-4-yl)methyl]-2,4-dihydro-3H-1,2,4-triazole-3-thione
Step A: N-[[2'-(t-Butoxycarbonyl)biphenyl-4-yl]methyl]phthalimide
A mixture of 2.99 g (8 mmole, based on 93% purity) of 4-bromomethyl-2'-(t-butoxycarbonyl)biphenyl (EP 253,310), 1.63 g (8.8 mmole) of potassium phthalimide, and 24 ml of dry dimethylformamide (DMF) was stirred at room temperature for 7 hours and then partitioned between 200 ml of ether and 250 ml of H.sub.2 O. The organic phase was washed with 4.times.250 ml of H.sub.2 O, then dried (MgSO.sub.4), filtered, and concentrated. The residue was leached twice with hot ether (15-20 ml), which was decanted off after cooling. The remaining solid was collected on a filter, washed with petroleum ether, and dried to yield 2.08 g of colorless crystals, mp 108.5.degree.-109.degree., homogeneous by TLC in 4:1 hexane-EtOAc. The residue from evaporation of the mother liquor was triturated with two portions of ether to give a second crop of colorless crystals: 0.58 g, mp 122.degree.-123.degree. (preliminary softening). Despite the difference in melting point, the second crop was identical to the first by NMR and TLC. The total yield was thus 2.66 g (82%).

The cooling bath was removed, and the solution was allowed to warm to room temperature. After 2 hours the solution was concentrated at 25.degree. C. The residue was partitioned between 50 ml of ether plus 10 ml of CH.sub.2 Cl.sub.2 and 50 ml of 0.2N HCl. The organic phase was washed with 25 ml of saturated NaCl solution (aqueous), dried over MgSO.sub.4, filtered, and concentrated.

After 2 hours the resulting solution was cooled and concentrated. The residual oil was chromatographed on a column of silica gel (elution with 99:1 and the 98:2 CH.sub.2 Cl.sub.2) to give (after concentration and vacuum-drying) 1.15 g (79%) of a stiff, white foam, mp>45.degree.

The cooled solution was concentrated, and the residue was purified by column chromatography on silica gel (gradient elution with 0-1% methanol in CH.sub.2 Cl.sub.2) to give a gum which could be crystallized by trituration with petroleum ether. The total yield was 828 mg (63%), mp 135.degree.-137.degree. C., homogeneous by TLC in 19:1 CH.sub.2 Cl.sub.2 --MeOH; mass spectrum (FAB) m/e 424 (M+1).sup.+.

The residue was dissolved in a small volume of methanol and evaporated onto 1 g of silica gel. This was layered on top of a column of silica gel (43.times.2.4 cm) packed in CH.sub.2 Cl.sub.2. Gradient elution with 1-5% methanol in CH.sub.2 C.sub.12 containing 0.1% acetic acid eluted two major products.
