Description

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION
1. Field of the Invention
The present invention relates to compounds with an advanced antagonistic activity to thromboxane A.sub.2 (TXA.sub.2)-receptor, in more detail, to sulfonylamino substituted bicyclyl hydroxamic acid derivatives or the pharmaceutically acceptable salt thereof, which are useful for the treatment of thrombosis, vasoconstriction, or bronchoconstriction, and the like disease which are induced by TXA.sub.2.
2. Prior Art
It has been reported that sulfonylamino substitued bicyclyl carboxylic acid derivatives (hereinafter referred to as carboxylic acid derivatives) have potent TXA.sub.2 -receptor antagonistic activities (JPN Kokai 63-139161, U.S. Pat. No. 4,654,357, EP-A-312,906, and DE 3,720,760, etc.,).
These carboxylic acid derivatives have some drawbacks, namely that they are easily oxidized and metabolized in living tissues. Therefore it has been desired to develop TXA.sub.2 -receptor antagonists, which are pharmacologically comparable to, but are biologically stabler than the carboxylic acid derivatives.
SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION
The present invention relates to hydroxamic acid derivatives of the following formula (I): ##STR2## wherein R.sup.1 and R.sup.2 each is hydrogen or lower alkyl; R.sup.3 is hydrogen, lower alkyl, lower alkoxy, hydroxy or halogen; X is alkylene or alkenylene; Y is methylene or oxygen; and n is 0, 1, or 2. They are very useful for the prevention and the treatment of thrombosis, vasoconstriction, or bronchoconstriction, and the like disease because of their high inhibitory activity against platelet aggregation.
DESCRIPTION OF THE PREFERRED EMBODIMENTS
The present inventors have synthesized a wide variety of compounds and found the hydroxamic acid derivatives (I) as described above satisfy such requirements. This invention is based upon these findings.
In the present specification, "lower alkyl" means C.sub.1 -C.sub.6 alkyl, including, for example, methyl, ethyl, propyl, isopropyl, n-butyl, tert-butyl, and hexyl. Preferred is methyl, ethyl, or propyl.
"Lower alkoxy" means C.sub.1 -C.sub.6 alkyloxy, including, for example, methoxy, ethoxy, propoxy, isopropoxy, n-butoxy, tert-butoxy, and hexyloxy. Preferred is methoxy, ethoxy, or propoxy.
"Halogen" means fluorine, chlorine, bromine, or iodine.
"Alkylene" means C.sub.4 -C.sub.7 alkylene, including, for example, tetramethylene, pentamethylene, hexamethylene, and heptamethylene.
"Alkenylene" means C.sub.4 -C.sub.7 alkenylene, including, for example, 1-butenylene, 2-butenylene, 3-butenylene, 1-pentenylene, 2-pentenylene, 3-pentenylene, 4-pentenylene, 1-hexenylene, 2-hexenylene, 3-hexenylene, 4-hexenylene, 5-hexenylene, 1-heptenylene, 2-heptenylene, 3-heptenylene, 4-heptenylene, 5-heptenylene, and 6-heptenylene. Preferred is 1-pentenylene, 2-pentenylene, 3-pentenylene, 4-pentenylene, 1-hexenylene, 2hexenylene, 3-hexenylene, 4-hexenylene, or 5-hexenylene.
The compounds of the present invention are hydroxamic acid derivatives as explicated by the formula, so such a pharmaceutically acceptable salt as anticipated by a person with ordinary skill in this art is included in the scope of the present invention. Furthermore, the compounds of the present invention have four asymmetric centers as shown in the formula (I) and therefore the scope of this invention extends to all the possible stereoisomers. Among others, it is most preferable to use the present compounds in an optically active form of the following formula: ##STR3## wherein R.sup.1, R.sup.2, R.sup.3, X, Y, and n each is the same as defined before, but it is also acceptable to use them with an optical impurity for the purpose of this invention because of their remarkably high activities.
Furthermore, in the case R.sub.1 is hydrogen in the formula (I), the tautomers thereof are also included in the scope of the present invention.
It is thought that the hydroxamic acids moieties at the 2-position of the bicyclic skeleton contribute to an improvement of the biological stability and/or the partial agonistic action.
Therefore, the lower alkyl, lower alkoxy, hydroxy, or halogen substitution on the phenyl ring of the phenylsulfonylamino group, which is another side chain, may be substituted at any position.
The present inventors denote that preferred are those compounds unsubstituted or substituted by methyl, hydroxy, chloro, or bromo at the 4-position of the phenyl in the light of their main effect. Hydroxy may be esterified with acetyl, etc.
Furthermore, it can be expected that conversion of carboxylic acids to hydroxamic acid derivatives improves the biological stability and/or decreases partial agonistic action in thromboxane A.sub.2 -receptor antagonists.
The acceptable salts of the compounds of the present invention mean salts formed with an alkali metal such as lithium, sodium, or potassium, an alkaline earth metal such as calcium or magnesium; an organic base such as triethylamine, azetidine, 2-phenylimidazole, 1,4-diaminobutane, n-butylcyclohexylamine, dicyclohexylamine, hexamethylenediamine, 3-methyl-3-aminopentane, piperidine, 2,2,6,6-tetramethylpiperidine, 2,2,4-trimethylpiperidine, 2-hydroxypyridine, 4-hydroxypyridine, 2,4,6-trimethylpyridine, tetrahydro-2-methylpyridine, or pyrrolidine. Particularly the salt formed with sodium potassium, or calcium, etc. is preferable.
The compounds (I) of the present invention can be prepared, for example, by condensing amines of the formula (II): ##STR4## wherein R.sub.1 and R.sub.2 each is the same as defined before, with the compounds of the formula (III): ##STR5## wherein R.sup.3, X, Y, and n each is the same as defined before; and Z means an electron withdrawing group.
"Electron withdrawing group" means any group which can activate carbonyl. Those used in a usual acylating reaction may be employed.
The present reaction may be performed according to a conventional manner for synthesizing hydroxamic acids, which is disclosed in ORGANIC CHEMISTRY, Vol. 12 III, 406-432 (Academic.Press).
The starting materials may be prepared according to the disclosure in JPN Kokai 63-139161, JPN Patent Application 1-314028, U.S. Pat. No. 4,654,357, or EP-A-312,906, etc.
The compounds of the present invention can inhibit effects caused by thromboxane A.sub.2, so are very useful for the prevention and the treatment of inflammation, hypertension, thrombosis, cerebral apoplexy, cardiac infarction, and cerebral infarction.
Futhermore, known TXA.sub.2 -receptor antagonists give very preferable biological effects if administered orally so as to give a mild elevation of the blood level of the drug, but show unfavorable side effects if administered in such a one-shot intravenous injection as to rapidly give a high blood level, because of their TXA.sub.2 -receptor agonistic action (partial agonistic action) after administration, although they are transient.
On the other hand, the compounds of the present invention have substantially no or reduced partial agonistic activities, as explained later. As stated before, it is needless to say that those which have no or substantially no partial agonistic activities are particularly suitable for injection use. Furthermore, if necessary, the compounds of the present invention can be formulated for inhalation, oral, or suppository use, because of their good stability and absorbability.
The compounds of the present invention may be used in conventional formulations for oral use, including solid preparations such as tablets, powder, capsules, and granules, and liquid preparations such as aqueous or oily suspensions, syrups, and elixirs. They can be administered to mammals, including humans. For parenteral use, the compounds of the present invention may be aqueous or oily suspensions for injection. When preparing such formulations, conventional additives may be used, such as fillers, binders, lubricants, aqueous or oily solvents, emulsifiers, and suspending agents, and additionally, preservatives, stabilizers, or the like. It is hard to generally define the dosage of the compounds (I) of the present invention because it depends on the objective therapeutic effect, administration route, age, body weight etc. But usual daily dosage per kg of body weight for an adult is about 0.01 mg to about 50 mg, preferably about 0.05 mg to about 10 mg orally, and about 0.001 mg to about 5 mg, preferably about 0.005 mg to about 1 mg parenterally; in one to five divided doses.
The present invention is further embodied in the following Examples and Experiments, which are not intended to limit the scope of the present invention.

EFFECT OF THE INVENTION
The compounds of the present invention have potent thromboxane A.sub.2 -receptor antagonistic activity and extremely inhibit platelet aggregation or vasoconstriction, etc. caused by thromboxane A.sub.2. This means that the compounds are useful as anti-thrombosis, anti-vasoconstriction agents. In the following Experiment are shown the inhibitory effect of the representative compounds thereof on platelet aggregation in vitro.
EXPERIMENT 1
Antagonistic Activity
Inhibitory Effect on Platelet Aggregation in Rat
[Material and Method]
From the abdominal artery of a male rat (Sprague-Dowley, 7 weeks old) was collected 10 ml of blood with a plastic syringe containing 1.5 ml of ACD (85 mM of sodium citrate, 70 mM of citric acid, 110 mM of glucose) and 20 .mu.g of prostaglandin E.sub.1. The blood was placed in a plastic test tube, shaken moderately turning and centrifuged for 10 minutes at 160.times.g to give platelet rich plasma (PRP). To the prepared PRP was added apyrase (25 .mu.g/ml) and the mixture was layered on 40% bovine serum albumin. The resulting mixture was centrifuged at 1200.times.g for 25 minutes. The suspension of the prepared platelet pellets in a small amount of a buffer (137 mM of NaCl, 2.7 mM of KCl, 1.0 mM MgCl.sub.2, 3.8 mM of NaH.sub.2 PO.sub.4, 3.8 mM of Hepes, 5.6 mM of glucose, 0.035% of bovine serum albumin, pH 7.35) was applied on 10 ml of Sepharose 2B column and eluted with such a buffer to prepare washed platelets.
The platelet aggregation reaction was measured by the aggregometer (NKK HEMA TRACER 1 MODEL PAT-6A.6M, Nikkou Bioscience).
In a measuring curvette was placed 245 .mu.l of the washed platelets which concentration was adjusted to 5.times.10.sup.8 /.mu.l and set in the aggregometer. The adjusted washed platelets were stirred (1000 rpm) at 37.degree. C. and 3.8 .mu.l of 0.1M CaCl.sub.2 was added thereto. One minute later, 0.5 .mu.l of a solution of a test compound in dimethylsulfoxide was added and 2 minutes later, 1 .mu.l of collagen (Collagen reagent Horm.RTM., HORMON-CHEMIE Munchen GMBH, final concentration 4 .mu.l/ml) was added as an inducer for platelet aggregation. Platelet aggregation was monitored in terms of the increase and decrease in light transmission.
Concentration of 50% inhibition for platelet aggregation was calculated from the rate of aggregation. (The rate corresponds to light transmission of a sample which was measured at 3 minutes after adding the inducer for platelet aggregation, provided that light transmissions of the washed platelets and the buffer samples are taken as 0% and 100%, respectively.)
The results of the test are shown in Table 1.

The reference compound is shown below. ##STR13##
As clearly shown by the results, the compounds of the present invention have comparable activity for the main effect to known thromboxane A.sub.2 -receptor antagonists. Since the reference compound which seems to have the most potent inhibitory activity for platelet aggregation was selected from those disclosed in JPN Kokai 63-139161, the results show the compounds of the present invention have rather lower activity than the reference compound. However it is well known that the compounds of this kind give the same pharmacological effects as those expected by oral administration, if they are intravenously administered at a 1/10 dose of the oral dose. Therefore, considering that the compounds of the present invention are suitable for intravenous administration, it is expected that a smaller dose of them than the reference compound can give pharmacological effects comparable to those expected by oral administration of the reference compound.
Furthermore, partial agonistic activity (activity to induce the shape change in rat platelet) was determined according to the method used for the reaction of platelet aggregation. To the washed platelets was added 0.1M CaCl.sub.2 aqueous solution and 1 minute later, the decrease in light transmission caused by the test compounds was determined to estimate the activity. As a result, the compound (Ia) gave no partial agonistic activity even up to 1000 nM, while the ED.sub.50 of the reference compound was 1 nM.
The compound (Ia) of the present invention was confirmed to show substantially no partial agonistic activity and longer lasting effects as compared with known carboxylic acid derivatives, by determination of respiration inhibitory activity which is observed when the TXA.sub.2 -receptor antagonist is intravenously injected to mice, which is a good index of the partial agonistic activity.
That is, the compound (Ia) of the present invention is very suitable for intravenous injection because of having no partial agonistic activity effect.
