(1977).All other compounds of formula I may be prepared by modification of the procedures discussed herein as known by those having ordinary skill in the art. The intermediates used to prepare compounds of formula I are described herein, are commercially available, or may be derived from known compounds by those having ordinary skill in the art or may be prepared by literature methods or derived by procedures analagous to those described in the literature.The compounds of the present invention can have asymmetric centers at carbons 2-4 of the benzopyran ring. Also, any one of the R's can have an asymmetric carbon. Consequently, compounds of formula I can exist in diastereomeric forms or in mixtures thereof. The above described process can utilize racemates, enantiomers or diastereomers as starting materials. When diastereomeric products are prepared, they can be separated by conventional chromatographic or fractional crystallization methods.The compounds of the formula IA wherein R.sup.9 and/or R.sup.10 is hydrogen, can exist as a mixture of tautomers represented by the following structures. The tautomeric products are obtained in relative amounts that differ from compound to compound. All forms are included in the scope of formula I. ##STR34##The compounds of the present invention can have asymmetric centers at carbons 2-4 of the bicyclic ring. Also, any one of the R's can have an asymmetric carbon. Consequently, compounds of formula I can exist in diastereomeric forms or in mixtures thereof. The above described process can utilize racemates, enantiomers or diastereomers as starting materials. When diastereomeric products are prepared, they can be separated by methods known in the art such as conventional chromatographic or fractional crystallization methods.If any of the R substituents, X or Y groups contain reactive groups such as hydroxy or amino that can interfere with the epoxide opening reaction or any other reactions, they should be protected with appropriate protecting groups.The compounds of formula I are unexpectedly more potent than those described previously. In addition it has been unexpectedly found that compounds of formula I are "selective antiischemic agents". The term "selective antiischemic agent" means that these compounds possess little or no vasodilator activity (i.e., these compounds have IC.sub.50 (rat aorta) values greater than that of the known potassium channel activator, cromakalim).

Most of the compounds of formula XXIII, XXV, XXVII and XXIX are commercially available or they can be prepared by standard methods described in text books of organic chemistry such as Introduction to Organic Chemistry by A. Streitwieser and C. H. Heathcock, Macmillan Publishing Co., Inc. N.Y. (1976), and Advanced Organic Chemistry by F. C. Carey and R. J. Sundberg, Plenum Publishing Co., N.Y. (1977).
All other compounds of formula I may be prepared by modification of the procedures discussed herein as known by those having ordinary skill in the art. The intermediates used to prepare compounds of formula I are described herein, are commercially available, or may be derived from known compounds by those having ordinary skill in the art or may be prepared by literature methods or derived by procedures analagous to those described in the literature.
The compounds of the present invention can have asymmetric centers at carbons 2-4 of the benzopyran ring. Also, any one of the R's can have an asymmetric carbon. Consequently, compounds of formula I can exist in diastereomeric forms or in mixtures thereof. The above described process can utilize racemates, enantiomers or diastereomers as starting materials. When diastereomeric products are prepared, they can be separated by conventional chromatographic or fractional crystallization methods.
The compounds of the formula IA wherein R.sup.9 and/or R.sup.10 is hydrogen, can exist as a mixture of tautomers represented by the following structures. The tautomeric products are obtained in relative amounts that differ from compound to compound. All forms are included in the scope of formula I. ##STR34##
The compounds of the present invention can have asymmetric centers at carbons 2-4 of the bicyclic ring. Also, any one of the R's can have an asymmetric carbon. Consequently, compounds of formula I can exist in diastereomeric forms or in mixtures thereof. The above described process can utilize racemates, enantiomers or diastereomers as starting materials. When diastereomeric products are prepared, they can be separated by methods known in the art such as conventional chromatographic or fractional crystallization methods.
If any of the R substituents, X or Y groups contain reactive groups such as hydroxy or amino that can interfere with the epoxide opening reaction or any other reactions, they should be protected with appropriate protecting groups.
The compounds of formula I are unexpectedly more potent than those described previously. In addition it has been unexpectedly found that compounds of formula I are "selective antiischemic agents". The term "selective antiischemic agent" means that these compounds possess little or no vasodilator activity (i.e., these compounds have IC.sub.50 (rat aorta) values greater than that of the known potassium channel activator, cromakalim). Therefore, in the treatment of ischemic hearts, the compounds of the instant invention are less likely to cause coronary steal, profound hypotension and coronary under-perfusion.
The preferred compounds of the present invention are those compounds of formula IA and IB where:
Y is oxygen;
R.sup.2 is hydroxyl;
R.sup.3 and R.sup.4 are methyl;
R.sup.6 and R.sup.7 are alkyl; or R.sup.6 and R.sup.7 taken together with the nitrogen atom to which they are attached form a 6-membered ring;
R.sup.8 is aryl or heterocyclo;
R.sup.9 is hydrogen;
R.sup.10 is hydrogen; and
R.sup.11 is hydrogen.
Compounds of formula IC are preferred where:
X is alkyl;
Y is a single bond or --O--;
R.sup.2 is hydroxy;
R.sup.3 and R.sup.4 are methyl;
R.sup.12 is aryl or heterocyclo; and
R.sup.13 is --COOR.sup.14, --CO-amino, --CO-substituted amino, --NHCOCH.sub.3, --NHSO.sub.2 Me, --NHCONH.sub.2, --NH(C.dbd.NCN)NH.sub.2, imidazole, furan, pyridine, oxazole, hydroxy, --NHCO-substituted amino or --SO.sub.2 Me; or XR.sup.13 is hydrogen.
Compounds of formula I may be used as antiischemic agents, i.e., for the treatment of ischemic conditions such as myocardial ischemia, cerebral ischemia, lower limb ischemia and the like.
Thus a composition containing one (or a combination) of the compounds of this invention, may be administered to a species of mammal (e.g., humans) suffering from an ischemic or hypertensive condition.
A single dose, or two to four divided daily doses, provided on a basis of about 0.001 to about 100 mg per kilogram of body weight per day, preferably about 0.1 to about 25 mg per kilogram of body weight per day is appropriate. The substance is preferably administered orally, but parenteral routes such as the subcutaneous, intramuscular, intravenous or intraperitoneal routes or any other suitable delivery system, such as intranasal or transdermal routes can also be employed.
As a result of the potassium channel activating activity of the compounds of this invention, these compounds are also useful in the treatment of cardiovascular disorders and any disorders associated with smooth muscle contraction. For example, compounds of the present invention are useful as therapy for congestive heart failure, therapy for peripheral vascular disorders (e.g. Raynaud's Disease), therapy for pulmonary hypertension, as anti-anginal agents, as antifibrillatory agents, and in limiting myocardial infarction.
Compounds of the present invention are additionally expected to be useful in the treatment of central nervous system disorders (e.g., Parkinsonism, as anti-tremor agents, epilepsy), in therapy for renal failure, in therapy for urinary incontinence, as anti-diarrheal agents, in therapy for pre-eclampsia, dysmenorrhea and premature labor, for the treatment of male impotence, as well as for the promotion of hair growth (e.g., in the treatment of male pattern baldness), and as anti-asthmatic agents.
The compounds of this invention can also be formulated in combination with a diuretic such as chlorothiazide, hydrochlorothiazide, flumethiazide, hydroflumethiazide, bendroflumethiazide, methylchlothiazide, trichloromethiazide, polythiazide or benzthiazide as well as ethacrynic acid tricrynafen, chlorthalidone, furosemide, musolimine, bumetanide, triamterene, amiloride and spironolactone and salts of such compounds, angiotensin converting enzyme inhibitors such as captopril, zofenopril, fosinopril, enalapril, ceranopril, cilazopril, delapril, pentopril, quinapril, ramipril, lisinopril, and salts of such compounds, thrombolytic agents such as tissue plasminogen activator (tPA), recombinant tPA, streptokinase, urokinase, prourokinase, and anisoylated plasminogen streptokinase activator complex (APSAC, Eminase, Beecham Laboratories), or calcium channel blocking agents such as nifedipine or diltiazem. Such combination products if formulated as a fixed dose employ the compounds of this invention within the dose range described above and the other pharmaceutically active agent within its approved dose range.
The compounds of formula I, and combinations thereof, can be formulated, as described above, in compositions such as tablets, capsules or elixirs for oral administration, in sterile solutions or suspensions for parenteral administration, and may also be administered via transdermal patch or nasal inhalation solutions. About 10 to about 500 milligrams of a compound of formula I is compounded with 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.
