Sulfamylbenzoic acid

Abstract

Certain mono- and disubstituted-5-sulfamylbenzoic acids, many of which are novel, and their use in lowering blood lipid levels in mammals.

Description

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION

Atherosclerosis, a form of arteriosclerosis, is characterized by accumulation of lipids in the aorta and in the coronary, cerebral and peripheral arteries of the lower extremities. As these masses increase in size, the risk of thrombosis and occlusion arises.

It has been found that those suffering from the disease exhibit elevated levels of plasma lipoprotein, of which cholesterol and triglycerides comprise major constituents. While the etiology of the disease is not yet fully understood, it is believed that .beta.-lipoproteins play an important role, and it has been recommended that dietary habits which promote low .beta.-lipoprotein plasma levels be observed. In addition, various therapeutic agents such as estrogens, thyroxine analogs and sitosterol preparations have been used to lower plasma cholesterol levels in individuals prone to the condition.

It has now been found that certain mono- and disubstituted-5-sulfamylbenzoic acids are effective in reducing plasma lipid levels. These compounds can be expected to be useful in the treatment of atherosclerosis and related cardiovascular diseases associated with elevated lipid levels.

A number of 5-sulfamylbenzoic acids are found in the literature:

A series of sulfamylbenzoic acids with utility as uricosuric agents for rheumatism and arthritis are claimed in West German patent application DT No. 2,109,339. None of the 5-sulfamyl compounds of the present invention, however, demonstrated uricosuric activity when tested.

Although the foregoing summary has been disclosed by a diligent search of the literature, it does not, of course, purport to be an exhaustive listing of all known sulfamylbenzoic acids. Nevertheless, so far as can be determined, the ability of the 5-sulfamylbenzoic acids of the present invention to reduce plasma lipid levels has never before been recognized.

SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION

It has been discovered that blood lipid levels may be reduced by administering to a hyperlipemic mammal a substance selected from 5-sulfamylbenzoic acids and the amides, lower alkyl esters and salts thereof with pharmacologically acceptable bases, said substances being substituted in the 2-position by hydrogen, chloro, fluoro, bromo, hydroxy, methoxy, methylthio, amino, mono- and di-lower-alkyl amino, benzylamino, phenethylamino, piperidino, mono- and di-lower-alkylpiperidino, pyrrolidino, hexamethyleneimino or morpholino, and in the 3-, 4- or 6-position by hydrogen, fluoro, chloro, bromo, methoxy, trifluoromethyl or methyl, with the proviso that if the 2-substituent is hydrogen the substituent at the 3-, 4- or 6-position is selected from the group consisting of fluoro, chloro, bromo, methoxy, methyl and trifluoromethyl.

Also considered within the scope of the present invention are congeners wherein the 2-positional substituent is trifluoromethyl, lower alkoxy or lower alkyl.

The hypocholesteremic activity appears to be shared by all these mono- and disubstituted 5-sulfamylbenzoic acids, but one would obviously avoid any substituents known to be toxic at a level required for lipid-lowering effectiveness.

One preferred class of compounds of the aforementioned configuration is that wherein the sulfamyl group is piperidinosulfonyl or substituted piperidinosulfonyl having up to two substituents each selected from the group consisting of alkyl, alkyloxy and alkyloxyalkyl of one to four carbon atoms in each alkyl group, hydroxy, chloro, bromo, trifluoromethyl, phenyl, tolyl, benzyl, benzyloxy, benzyloxymethyl, chloromethyl and hydroxymethyl.

A second preferred class of compounds is that wherein the sulfamyl group is RR'NSO.sub.2 -, wherein R and R' together with the nitrogen to which they are attached form a heterocyclic ring selected from the group consisting of morpholino, thiomorpholino, piperazinyl, hexamethyleneimino, heptamethyleneimino, octamethyleneimino, 3-azabicyclo[3,2,2]nonanyl, tetrahydroisoquinolyl, tetrahydropyridyl and mono- and disubstituted derivatives of said heterocyclic rings . . . said substituents being selected from the group consisting of alkyl, alkyloxy and alkyloxyalkyl of one to four carbon atoms in each alkyl group, hydroxy, chloro, bromo, trifluoromethyl, phenyl, tolyl, benzyl, benzyloxy, chloromethyl and hydroxymethyl.

A third preferred class of compounds is that wherein the sulfamyl group is ##STR6## wherein

n has a value from 0 to 3;

A is selected from the group consisting of hydrogen, lower alkyl, cycloalkyl of 5 to 8 carbon atoms, benzyl and phenyl; and

R.sup.2 and R.sup.3 are each selected from the group consisting of hydrogen, chloro, bromo, alkyl and alkoxy of from one to four carbon atoms, carboxy, trifluoromethyl, phenyl, benzyl and benzyloxy.

A fourth preferred class of compounds is that wherein the sulfamyl group is R.sup.4 R.sup.5 NSO.sub.2 -- wherein R.sup.4 is hydrogen or lower alkyl and R.sup.5 is lower alkyl or cycloalkyl of 5 to 8 carbon atoms.

As discussed below, many of the substances of the aforementioned classes are novel, and as such form part of the present invention.

The sulfamylbenzoic acids of the present invention have been found to be well tolerated in the form of the free carboxylic acid. If desired, however, they may be administered in the form of an amide, lower alkyl ester or salt of a pharmacologically acceptable base.

The amides include not only the unsubstituted amides but amides of pharmacologically acceptable amines, for example, the amino acids, such as glycine or 4-aminobutyric acid. The amides are readily prepared by standard techniques, for example, by treating a corresponding sulfamylbenzoic acid ester in alcohol with ammonia, or by combining the corresponding sulfamyl benzoyl chloride with amine under basic conditions and precipitating the amide product with mineral acid.

Of the lower alkyl esters, the ethyl ester will generally be preferred. In addition, esters of complex alcohols such as acetamidoethyl alcohol may be employed. The esters may be employed. The esters may be prepared by condensation of the acid with the corresponding alcohol in the presence of acid catalyst.

The pharmacologically acceptable salts include the ammonium, sodium, potassium, calcium and magnesium salts, as well as salts with pharmacologically acceptable amines. The salts are prepared by conventional procedures, for example, by adding the acid to an aqueous solution containing an equivalent amount of the appropriate base, followed by concentration to obtain the desired product. Although salts formed from pharmacologically-unacceptable bases are not useful therapeutically, they may be used in the purification. For example, an impure acid can be purified by dissolving it in an aqueous solution containing a pharmacologically-unacceptable base and extracting the resulting salt solution with organic solvent to remove non-acidic impurities. The free, purified acid is then isolated by acidifying the aqueous solution and filtering.

Although parenteral modes of administration of the compounds of the present invention may be employed, oral administration is effective and preferred for its obvious convenience. The products of the invention are tested in vivo for hypolipemic activity in rats. Groups, each comprising 4 animals, of normal Sprague-Dawley (Charles River) male rats weighing from 160 to 220 grams are fed rat chow containing the compound under test for two overnight feeding periods. On the morning of the third day the animals are anesthetized and bled from the abdominal aorta. The total plasma cholesterol is then determined by the method of J. J. Carr and I. J. Drekter, reported in Clin. Chem., 2, 353 (1956). Most of the tests are conducted at a feed concentration of 0.15 to 0.25 weight percent of the compound under test, but lower levels, 0.01 to 0.10 weight percent, are employed in some instances where particularly high potency is anticipated. The plasma cholesterol level of the treated animals is found to be significantly reduced when compared to animals not receiving the test compound.

This pharmacological test for measuring hypocholesteremic activity is a reasonably reliable indication that similar activity in humans can be expected. In fact, those compounds effective in the rat which have been tested in humans have demonstrated similar activity. p-Chlorophenoxyisobutyric acid, ethyl ester, marketed as Atromid-S, a well-known and clinically effective hypocholesteremic agent, causes a 30-35% cholesterol fall in the rat test when administered at a level of 0.25% in the feed.

In humans, an individual having a plasma cholesterol level above 260 mg. percent (mg. per 100 ml.) or a plasma triglyceride level about 150 mg. percent is regarded as hyperlipemic. The term "lipids" is used herein in the broad sense to include triglycerides, cholesterol, phospholipids and free fatty acids. Plasma lipids are carried in the body in the form of lipoproteins, i.e., protein complexes. These may be separated by electrophoresis into several fractions: high density or .alpha.-lipoprotein, containing a high proportion of phospholipids; low-density or .beta.-lipoprotein, containing a major proportion of cholesterol; very low-density or pre-.beta.-lipoprotein; and chylomicrons; the latter two fractions containing a major proportion of triglycerides. In a particular individual, one of the four fractions may be elevated. The agents of the present invention depress plasma lipoprotein, with associated cholesterol and triglyceride, and hence are expected to be of value in hyperlipoproteinemic individuals.

One of the novel compounds of the present invention, 2-chloro-5-(cis-3,5-dimethylpiperidinosulfonyl)benzoic acid, which exhibits higher potency than Atromid-S in the rat test, has produced significant depression in plasma cholesterol and triglycerides in human studies. Overall reductions compare closely with those produced by Atromid-S in similar populations. In these clinical studies, the compound was administered in three equally divided doses at daily levels of 0.5-1.5 grams. It is now being further evaluated in hyperlipemic humans in the form of capsules containing 250 mg. of active ingredient, at a dosage schedule of two capsules three times daily. Further testing at a level of one capsule three times daily, equivalent to 0.75 gram per day, is also planned.

Among those compounds of the preferred classes, 2-chloro-5-(cis-3,5-dimethethylpiperidinosulfonyl)benzoic acid, 2,3-dichloro-5-(cis-3,5-dimethylpiperidinosulfonyl)benzoic acid, 2-chloro-5-(N-ethyl-N-[2-p-chlorophenethyl]-aminosulfonyl)benzoic acid and 2,3-dichloro-5-(N-ethyl-N-[2-p-chlorophenethyl]-aminosulfonyl)benzoic acid are particularly outstanding.

Obviously, the optimum dosage level for a particular compound of the present invention will vary with the relative potency of the substance and with the age, weight and response of the particular patient. An approximation of suitable dosage levels for various compounds can be estimated from their potency in the rat test relative to a standard which has been tested in humans, such as Astromid-S or 2-chloro-5-(cis-3,5-dimethylpiperidinosulfonyl)benzoic acid. In determining relative potency, dose response curves are preferably constructed by rat testing at several dosage levels, for example, at seven levels. A compound which proves twice as potent as the standard in this test will generally be evaluated in toxicology as a candidate for use at half the level employed with the standard.

Having full regard for the foregoing factors, it is considered that an effective daily dosage of the compounds of the present invention in humans will generally range from about 0.3 to 3 grams per day, in single or divided dosage, or at about 5 to 50 mg. per kg. of body weight. These values are illustrative, and there may, of course, be individual cases where higher or lower dosage ranges are merited.

The sulfamylbenzoic acids of this invention can be administered either alone, or preferably, in combination with a pharmaceutically-acceptable carrier. They may be combined with various pharmaceutically-acceptable, inert carriers in the form of tablets, capsules, lozenges, troches, powders, aqueous suspensions or solutions, elixirs, syrups and the like. Suitable carriers include solid liluents or aqueous media and non-toxic organic solvents. The oral pharmaceutical compositions of this invention may be suitably sweetened and flavored by means of various agents commonly employed for such a purpose.

For parenteral administration, solutions or suspensions of the herein described sulfamylbenzoic acids in sesame or peanut oil or in aqueous propylene glycol solutions can be employed, as well as sterile aqueous solutions of the corresponding water-soluble salts. Such solutions are suitable for intramuscular and subcutaneous administration. Sterile aqueous solutions are additionally useful for intravenous injection, provided that their pH is suitably adjusted and buffered, if necessary, and the liquid diluent rendered isotonic with saline or glucose.

The herein disclosed compounds may also be useful in other aspects of abnormal metabolism, the latter possibly accounting for clinical problems in diabetes, pancreatitis, coronary heart disease, and cerebrovascular disease. Hence the ability of sulfamylbenzoic acids of this invention to regulate lipid metalbolism might find utility in the treatment of said diseases.

EXAMPLE 1

2-Chloro-5-chlorosulfonylbenzoic Acid

A mixture of o-chlorobenzoic acid (2.0 kg.) and chlorosulfonic acid (10.5 kg.) is heated at 99.degree.-100.degree. C. for 5 hours. The reaction mixture is cooled to 25.degree. C. and then slowly poured into a 10 liter mixture of ice and water. The addition requires about 1 hour, and the temperature is maintained below 10.degree. C. during this period by the addition of more ice. The final volume of slurry after the quench is about 40 liters. The solid material is collected and thoroughly washed on the funnel with fresh water. The crude wet cake is dissolved in 16 liters of diethyl ether. The ether layer is washed once with 2 liters of saturated aqueous sodium chloride solution and then dried over anhydrous magnesium sulfate. The filtered ether solution is concentrated in vacuo with the continual addition of hexane. The resulting hexane slurry is concentrated to a final volume of approximately 8 liters and filtered. The crystalline cake is washed with hexane and dried in the atmosphere to give 2.5 kg. of product (76.8% of theory), m.p. 149.degree.-151.degree. C.

3,5-Lutidine (6475.0 g.) is hydrogenated under 1000 psi hydrogen pressure in ethanol using 1665 g. of 5% rhodium on carbon catalyst (50% H.sub.2 O) at room temperature. The catalyst is filtered off and anhydrous hydrogen chloride bubbled into the filtrate at a temperature below 40.degree. C. until the solution is strongly acidic. The solution is then concentrated in vacuo to a thick slurry which is diluted with 40 liters of hexane. The crystalline material is filtered off and dried in the atmosphere to give 8.9 kg. of crude product. The crude 3,5-dimethylpiperidine hydrochloride is dissolved in 14 liters of water and the pH of this solution adjusted to 7.0 with dilute sodium hydroxide solution. The mixture is washed with 7 l. and then with 3 l. of chloroform to remove unreduced 3,5-lutidine. The aqueous solution is then adjusted to pH 12-13 by the addition of 40% sodium hydroxide solution and extracted with 6 l. and then with 3 l. of chloroform. The combined chloroform extract is dried over anhydrous magnesium sulfate and chilled to 5.degree. C. in an ice bath. Anhydrous hydrogen chloride is then injected until the solution is strongly acidic. The chloroform solution is concentrated in vacuo as benzene is continuously added. When most of the chloroform has been replaced, the product is filtered from about 36 l. of benzene. The filter cake is washed with cold benzene and hexane, and air dried, to obtain 4.8 kg. of product, m.p. 222.degree.-224.degree. C.

2-Chloro-5-chlorosulfonylbenzoic acid (510.2 g.) and cis-3,5-dimethylpiperidine hydrochloride are slurried in 7.0 l. of water and stirred at 15.degree. C. as a cold solution of 240.0 g. of sodium hydroxide in 6 l. of water is added in a steady stream. The hazy reaction mixture is stirred at 20.degree.-25.degree. C. for 1 hour and then filtered by suction through a funnel precoated with diatomaceous earth filter aid. The filtrate is acidified with concentrated hydrochloric acid and the resulting precipitate collected. The cake is washed with methanol and ether, and air-dried to obtain 650.0 g. of crude product. This is dissolved in 6 l. of 1:1 isopropyl alcohol:chloroform and filtered. The filtrate is concentrated in vacuo to about 3 l. and the crystalline material filtered off. The filter cake is washed with isopropyl alcohol and ether. Air drying gives 471.0 g. of crystalline product, m.p. 250.degree.-251.degree. C.

EXAMPLE 56

Groups, each comprising 4 animals, of normal Sprague-Dawley (Charles River) male rats weighing from 160 to 220 grams are fed rat chow containing the test compounds for two overnight feeding periods. On the morning of the third day the animals are anesthetized and bled from the abdominal aorta. The total plasma cholesterol is then determined by the method of J. J. Carr and I. J. Drekter reported in Clin. Chem., 2, 353 (1956). Most of the tests are conducted at a concentration in the feed of 0.15 to 0.25 weight percent of the compound under test, but lower levels are employed in some instances. The total quantity of test compound consumed is computed from feed consumption over the two-day period and is tabulated, in milligrams per kilogram body weight per day, along with the associated percent cholesterol fall measured:
