Terpene amino alcohols and medicinal uses thereof

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION
1. Field of the Invention
The present invention relates to terpene amino alcohols or their pharmacologically acceptable esters or salts, and medicinal uses thereof as antiallergic agents and agents for improving cerebral function.
2. Description of the Prior Art
The living body shows various defense responses to a bacterial or viral infection or to an invading heterologous protein or drug. By these immune reactions is maintained the biological integrity of the living body. However, all immune reactions are not favorable to the living body but some reactions known as allergic reactions, are harmful to the body. At the site where allergic inflammation occurs, an antigen-antibody reaction occurs on the surface of mast cells or basophils, resulting in degranulation followed by the liberation or release of chemical transmitters such as histamine, serotonin, SRS-A, ECF-A and prostaglandin. These chemical transmitters act on many vascular systems to evoke symptoms of acute circulatory insufficiency, such as hypotension, feeble pulse, disturbance of consciousness, skin pallor, cyanosis and cold sweating, respiratory symptoms such as edema glottidis, airway constriction, wheeze due to increased mucus secretion and dyspnea. In addition, they cause gastrointestinal symptoms, such as abdominal pain, borborygmus, diarrhea and vomiting, and cutaneous symptoms such as urticaria, and in severe cases, death from shock. Studies have been conducted on compounds which inhibit the release of chemical transmitters, and consequently, disodium cromoglicate, tranilast, ketotifen, etc. have been found to act on the double lipid layer of cell membrane to decrease its fluidity and stabilize the cell membrane, thereby inhibiting release of chemical transmitters from the cell surface, and have come into use as antiallergic drugs. Terpene compounds are known to have a stabilizing activity of cell membrane, and iproheptine hydrochloride, a terpene amine, has been used as an antiallergic agent in injectable form.
The above-mentioned disodium cromoglicate does not produce an antiallergic effect when administered by the oral route, which is the most convenient route of administration. Tranilast causes cystitis-like symptoms such as hematuria, pyuria and dysuria. Ketotifen is a drug of the delayed effect type, i.e. a drug whose antiallergic effect manifests itself only after about 4-6 weeks, and moreover, it causes side effects such as drowsiness. Thus, each of these inhibitors of the release of chemical transmitter has some or other undesirable features. Iproheptine hydrochloride is known to have side effects such as drowsiness and nausea. Under the circumstances, there is awaited an improved antiallergic drug that is low in toxicity with few side effects and administrable orally on a long-term basis.
With the recent increase in the number of elderly people, various geriatric diseases have come into prominence and a need for effective countermeasures has been keenly felt. Particularly, measures against senile dementia are considered to be of great importance and much research and development work has been in progress. Recently, agents for improving cerebral circulation and metabolism such as calcium hopantenate and dihydroergotoxine mesilate have been clinically used and certain nootropic drugs such as pramiracetam have also been developed.
The above-mentioned agents for improving cerebral circulation and metabolism and nootropic agents are not sufficiently effective and some of them are toxicologically undesirable. Therefore, the development of a safe drug having an excellent activity of improving cerebral function is awaited.
It is an object of the present invention to provide novel pharmacologically active compounds.
It is another object of the present invention to provide novel compounds which display excellent and sustained antiallergic activity and are safe.
It is a further object of the present invention to provide novel compounds which are readily transferred into the brain to exhibit excellent effects of improving cerebral function and are safe.
It is still another object of the present invention to provide medicinal or pharmaceutical uses of said compounds as antiallergic agents or agents for improving cerebral function.
These objects as well as other objects and advantages of the present invention will become apparent to those skilled in the art from the following detailed description.

The following is a partial listing of terpene amino alcohols of the general formula (I). ##STR5##
The pharmacologically acceptable esters of the terpene amino alcohol of general formula (I) include, among others, esters with lower fatty acids such as acetic acid, propionic acid, butyric acid, etc.; esters with higher fatty acids such as palmitric acid, linolic acid, oleic acid, stearic acid, etc.; and esters with nicotinic acid, benzoic acid, phosphoric acid, monomannosylphosphoric acid, among others, salts with mineral acids such as hydrochloric acid, sulfuric acid, etc.; salts with organic sulfonic acids such as methanesulfonic acid, p-toluenesulfonic acid, etc.; and salts with organic carboxylic acids such as acetic acid, propionic acid, succinic acid, lactic acid, tartaric acid, malic acid, citric acid and so on.
Terpene amino alcohols of general formula (I) are divided into the following two types. ##STR6##
In the above formulas, X.sup.1, Y.sup.1, X.sup.2, Y.sup.2, X.sup.3, Y.sup.3, R.sup.1, R.sup.2 and n are as defined hereinbefore.
The terpene amino alcohol of general formula (I-1) can be produced by the following methods (i) and (ii), for instance.
Method (i)
The compound of general formula (I-1) wherein Y.sup.3 is a hydroxyl group ##STR7##
In the above formulas, X.sup.1, Y.sup.1, X.sup.2, Y.sup.2, X.sup.3, R.sup.1, R.sup.2 and n are as defined hereinbefore.
Thus, an epoxyterpene of general formula (II-1) is reacted with an organic amino compound of general formula (III) under heating to give a terpene amino alcohol of general formula (I-11). Alternatively, an organic amino compound of general formula (III) is first reacted with an alkali metal such as lithium, sodium, potassium, etc., an organolithium compound such as methyllithium, n-butyllithium, phenyllithium, etc. or a Grignard reagent such as methylmagnesium bromide, methylmagnesium chloride, ethylmagnesium bromide, ethylmagnesium chloride, etc. to give the corresponding metal salt of the organic amino compound, which is then reacted with said epoxyterpene of general formula (II-1) to give a terpene amino alcohol of general formula (I-11). The reaction between the epoxyterpene of general formula (II-1) and the organic amino compound of general formula (III) is generally carried out in the presence or absence of an inert solvent such as methanol, ethanol, dioxane, etc. at a temperature of about 80.degree. to 200.degree. C. The organic amino compound is used in a proportion of about 1 to 5 moles per mole of the epoxyterpene. When the boiling point of the organic amino compound is lower than the reaction temperature, the reaction is advantageously carried out under elevated pressure. The organic amino compound can be used in aqueous condition, e.g. in the presence of aqueous ammonia, an aqueous solution of methylamine or the like. The reaction time varies with the reaction temperature used but is generally in the range of about 1 to 24 hours. The reaction for conversion of the organic amino compound of general formula (III) to the metal salt thereof is carried out in the known manner using an alkali metal, an organolithium compound or a Grignard reagent on an equimolar basis. The reaction between the resulting metal salt of the organic amino compound and the epoxyterpene of general formula (II-1) can be carried out in the same manner as the reaction between said epoxyterpene and the organic amino compound of general formula (III) except that the reaction temperature used may range from about 0.degree. C. to about 100.degree. C.
The starting material epoxyterpene of general formula (II-1) can be prepared, for example by the following procedures (a) and (b).
Procedure (a)
The compound of general formula (II-1) wherein X.sup.3 is a hydroxyl group ##STR8##
In the above formulas, X.sup.1, Y.sup.1, X.sup.2, Y.sup.2 and n are as defined hereinbefore.
The epoxyterpene of general formul (II -11) can be prepared by reacting an allyl alcohol of general formula (IV) with a peroxide such as t-butyl hydroperoxide, cumane hydroperoxide or the like in the presence of a vanadium or molybedenum catalyst in the conventional manner [J. Am. Chem. Soc. 95, 6136 (1973)].
Procedure (b)
The compound of general formula (II-1) wherein X.sup.3 is a hydrogen atom ##STR9##
In the above formulas, X.sup.1, Y.sup.1, X.sup.2, Y.sup.2 and n are as defined hereinbefore.
The epoxyterpene of general formula (II-12) can be prepared by the steps comprising treating an allyl alcohol of general formula (IV) with phosphorus tribromide, reducing the resulting bromide of general formula (V) with zinc-acetic acid to give a terpene of general formula (VI-1), and finally reacting the terpene with a peracid such as perbenzoic acid, meta-chloroperbenzoic acid, peracetic acid, etc.
Method (ii)
The compound of general formula (I-1) wherein X.sup.2 and X.sup.3 each is a hydroxyl group; Y.sup.2 and Y.sup.3 each is a hydrogen atom; and n is equal to 1 ##STR10##
In the above formulas, X.sup.1, Y.sup.1, R.sup.1 and R.sup.2 are as defined hereinbefore; halo means a halogen atom.
Thus, the terpene amino alcohol of general formula (I-12) can be prepared by the steps comprising reacting an alcohol of general formula (VII) with an isobutylmagnesium halide such as isobutylmagnesium chloride, isobutylmagnesium bromide, etc. in the presence of titanocene dichloride to give a Grignard reagent and reacting an aminoketone of general formula (VIII-1) with said Grignard reagent. The reaction giving the Grignard reagent is preferably carried out in a solvent such as tetrahydrofuran etc. The proportion of titanocene dichloride is about 1 to 10 mole percent relative to the starting material alcohol of general formula (VII) and, preferably in the range of about 3 to 7 mole percent on the same basis. The proportion of said isobutylmagnesium halide depends on the number of hydroxyl groups in the alcohol of general formula (VII). Thus, it is about 2 molar equivalents for the alcohol having one hydroxyl group, about 3 molar equivalents for the alcohol having two hydroxyl groups, and about 4 molar equivalents for the alcohol having 3 hydroxyl groups. This reaction is generally carried out by the steps comprising adding a solution of the isobutylmagnesium halide in tetrahydrofuran dropwise to a solution of the alcohol of general formula (VII) in tetrahydrofuran at a temperature of about -10.degree. C. to 50.degree. C. and, then, adding titanocene dichloride thereto at a temperature of about 15.degree. to 35.degree. C., followed by stirring the resulting mixture for about 3 to 10 hours. The reaction between the Grignard reagent thus prepared and the aminoketone of general formula (VIII-1) is generally carried out by the steps comprising adding said aminoketone dropwise to the Grignard reagent solution prepared as above and stirring the mixture at a temperature of about 0.degree. to 50.degree. C. for about 1 to 10 hours. The preferable amount of the aminoketone is about 0.7 to 2 molar equivalents relative to the alcohol of general formula (VII) used in the preparation of the Grignard reagent.
The terpene amino alcohol of general formula (I-2) can be produced, for example by the following methods (iii) and (iv).
Method (iii)
The compound of general formula (I-2) wherein X.sup.3 is a hydroxyl group ##STR11##
In the above formulas, X.sup.1, Y.sup.1, X.sup.2, Y.sup.2, Y.sup.3, R.sup.1, R.sup.2 and n are as defined hereinbefore.
In this method, an epoxyterpene of general formula (II-2) is reacted with an organic amino compound of general formula (III) in the same manner as the reaction between the epoxyterpene of general formula (II-1) and the organic amino compound of general formula (III) according to the above-mentioned Method (i).
The starting material epoxyterpene of general formula (II-2) can be prepared, for example by the following procedure. ##STR12##
In the above formulas, X.sup.1, Y.sup.1, X.sup.2, Y.sup.2, Y.sup.3 and n are as defined hereinbefore.
The epoxyterpene of general formula (II-2) can be prepared, for example by reacting an allyl alcohol of general formula (VI) with a peroxide such as t-butyl hydroperoxide, cumene hydroperoxide, etc. in the presence of a vanadium or molybdenum catalyst in the conventional manner [J. Am. Chem. Soc. 95, 6136 (1973)].
Method (iv) p The compound of general formula (I-2) wherein X.sup.2 and X.sup.3 each is a hydroxyl group; Y.sup.2 is a hydrogen atom; and n is equal to 1 ##STR13##
In the above formulas, X.sup.1, Y.sup.1, Y.sup.3, R.sup.1, R.sup.2 and halo are as defined hereinbefore.
Like the previous method (ii), the terpene amino alcohol of general formula (I-22) can be prepared by the steps comprising reacting an alcohol of general formula (VII) with an isobutylmagnesium halide in the presence of titanocene dichloride and reacting an aminoketone of general formula (VIII) with the resulting Grignard reagent.
The resulting reaction mixture containing the terpene amino alcohol of general formula (I) is then directly distilled or the residue after removal of a low boiling fraction from the reaction mixture by distillation is subjected to distillation under reduced pressure or column chromatography. Alternatively, said reaction mixture is poured into water, a saturated aqueous solution of ammonium chloride or the like and extracted with diethyl ether, dichloroethane or the like. The extract is washed with water, an aqueous solution of sodium hydrogen carbonate or the like and dried over anhydrous magnesium sulfate etc., followed by removal of the solvent. The residue is then subjected to distillation under reduced pressure or column chromatography. By any of the above methods, the terpene amino alcohol (I) can be isolated.
The following test examples illustrate the pharmacological characteristics of the terpene amino alcohols provided by the present invention.

Antiallergic Action
Test method
Male guinea pigs of Hartley strain (body weight: about 250 g) were intraperitoneally or intramuscularly dosed with egg albumin (dose 100 mg/kg) and the same procedure was repeated after 3 days. After 3 to 4 weeks, the guinea pigs were bled to death and the sensitized bronchial muscle was excised and cut into 1.5 mm thick rings. Three rings were joined to prepare a specimen. The specimen was suspended in a tissue bath and a load of 1 g was applied. The bath temperature was maintained at 37.degree. C. and a mixture gas of 95% O.sub.2 and 5% CO.sub.2 was constantly bubbled into the bath. After stabilization of the specimen (after about 1 hour), histamine hydrochloride was added to the bath at a final concentration of 10.sup.-5 M. The contraction curve was recorded. After the contraction had been stabilized, the specimen was washed with 3 portions of Ringer's solution at 10-minute intervals to stabilize the contraction (about 1 hour was required). Then, the test compound was added to the tissue bath and, after an interval of 10 minutes, 5 mg/ml of egg albumin was added. The contraction amplitude of the specimen was measured and the percent inhibition was calculated according to the following formula. ##EQU1## A: Contraction amplitude of control group when egg albumin is added A': Contraction amplitude of dosage group when egg albumin is added
H: Contraction amplitude of control group when histamine hydrochloride is added
H': Contraction amplitude of dosage group when histamine hydrochloride is added

It will be apparent from Table 1 that all the test compounds produce antiallergic effects and that most of the compounds according to the present invention display stronger antiallergic activity as compared with the control drugs tranilast and disodium cromoglicate.
Thus, the terpene amino alcohols have excellent properties as antiallergic agents.
Test Example 2
Effect of improving the memories of amnesia models
1. Test animals
The test was performed using male mice of ddK strain (5-6 weeks of age, 6-8 animals per group) at room temperature (about 23.degree. C.) The mice were allowed to take feeds and water freely.
2. Effects on memorized behaviors
(1) Experimental device
The device comprised a dark chamber (a rectangular box 20 cm high, with a floor grid, 12 cm.times.15 cm) and a bright chamber (a box with an open top and a floor grid, 15 cm.times.15 cm, surrounded by rectangular walls, 15 cm.sup.W .times.20 cm.sup.H, on four sides). The two chambers were in contact with each other sharing a common surface of 15 cm.times.20 cm which is provided with an opening through which the mouse could move freely. A stainless steel wire, which was connected to an electric impulse apparatus (manufactured by Nippon Medical and Chemical Instruments Co., Ltd.), was placed on the floor grid in the dark chamber. The bright chamber was illuminated with a 60 W electric bulb from a height of about 45 cm above the floor grid.
(2) Acquisition trials
Each mouse was placed on the floor grid in the bright chamber. Immediately after the mouse (four limbs) entered the dark chamber, it was loaded with an electroshock of DC 50 V through the floor grid for about three seconds. Immediately after electroshock loading, the mouse was taken out from the dark chamber.
(3) Test trials
Twenty-four hours after acquisition trials, each mouse was placed on the floor grid in the bright chamber again and the time which elapsed until the mouse (four limbs) entered the dark chamber (latency) was measured up to 600 seconds.
3. Preparation of amnesia-induced animals
(1) CO.sub.2 -induced amnesia
Immediately after the acquisition trials, each mouse was left in a container filled with carbon dioxide for a period of 8 seconds to induce amnesia.
(2) Scopolamine-induced amnesia
Scopolamine, 3 mg, was administered intraperitoneally to mice to induce amnesia 20 minutes before initiation of acquisition trials.
4. Administration of test compounds
A 5% aqueous suspension of each test compound in gum arabic solution was administered orally to mice immediately after carbon dioxide loading or to mice immediately after completion of the acquisition trials following scopolamine administration.
5. Results
The effects of test compounds on CO.sub.2 -induced amnesia are shown in Table 2. The effects of test compounds on scopolamine-induced amnesia are shown in Table 3.

Whereas calcium hopantenate and pramiracetam failed to show a significant memory activating action, Compound (36) very significantly improved the shortening of latency induced by carbon dioxide, displaying an excellent memory activating action. Compound (15) and Compound (35) also showed a tendency to activate memory.

Test Example 3
KCN anoxia test
Male mice of ddK strain (5-6 weeks of age, 8 to 10 animals per group) were intraperitoneally dosed with predetermined amounts of test compounds and after an interval of 30 minutes, 2.65 mg/kg of potassium cyanide was intravenously administered. Mice which showed no respiratory arrest even after a lapse of 180 seconds were counted as survival cases and the survival rate was calculated. The results are shown in Table 4.
TABLE 4______________________________________ Number of survivals/ Survival Test Dose Number of rate compound (mg/kg) mice used (%)______________________________________Control -- 0/8 0Compound (35) 100 8/9 88.9**Compound (15) 100 7/9 77.8*Dihydroergotoxine mesilate 3 1/10 10.0______________________________________ *P <0.05, **P <0.01
The death due to potassium cyanide is caused by the fact that the compound inhibits the enzyme involved in the electron transfer system of mitochondria in cells and the brain cells are liable to be affected by potassium cyanide. It has been reported that dihydroergotoxine mesilate, known as a drug for improving cerebral metabolism, promotes cerebral glucose uptake and oxidation of succinic acid in mitochondria and increases the cerebral blood flow, and while dihydroergotoxine mesilate displays an anti-anoxic effect because of these actions, this effect is not sufficiently remarkable. It is apparent from Table 4 that Compound (35) and Compound (15) show a significantly high anti-anoxic action.
Thus, the terpene amino alcohols according to the present invention have excellent characteristics as agents for improving cerebral function.
Toxicity studies also made it clear that the terpene amino alcohols according to the present invention are of low toxicity. By way of illustration, the acute toxicity, the LD.sub.50 value of Compound (32) in mice (male mice of ddK strain, body weights 20-23 g, 10 animals per group, oral) was 3,875 mg/kg and the LD.sub.50 values of Compounds (1) to (31) and (33) to (74) were respectively more than 3,500 mg/kg.
As demonstrated by the results of the above pharmacological studies, the terpene amino alcohols according to the present invention can be used as medicaments for the prevention and treatment of various symptoms and signs attributed to allergic reactions such as bronchial asthma, allergic rhinitis, urticaria and so on. Furthermore, the terpene amino alcohols according to the present invention can be used as agents for improving cerebral function, i.e. medicaments for the prevention and/or treatment of various impediments in cerebral function induced by derangement in the regulation of metabolism in the brain. For example, these terpene amino alcohols show excellent prophylactic and/or therapeutic efficacy of dementia attributed to head trauma, a surgical operation on the brain, cerebrovascular disorder, etc., dementia attributed to endocrine and metabolic disorders such as hyperthyroidism, hypothyroidism, accessory thyroidal diseases, Wilson disease, hepatopathy, hyperlipemia, hypoglycemia, hypercalcemia, hypocalcemia, Cushing syndrome, hypopituitarism, uremia, etc.; dementia attributed to hypoxic diseases such as cardio-pulmonary disorders, anemia, etc.; dementia attributed to infectious diseases such as brain abscess, bacillary menningitis, tuberculous memingitis, syphilis, cerebral helminthiasis; and Alzheimer-type senile dementia and other dementia attributed to extensive parenchymal lesions of the central nervous system such as Pick disease, Huntington disease, Parkinson disease and so on.
For use as a prophylactic and/or theraeutic agent for the above-mentioned various symptoms attributed to allergic reactions or for the above-mentioned various impediments in cerebral function, the terpene amino alcohol according to the present invention is used at a dose that is dependent upon the object and method of administration, the condition, body weight, age and sex of the patient to be treated, the judgement of the doctor in charge, and other factors. In the case of humans, the daily dose may range generally from about 25 to 300 mg/kg/day, preferably from about 30 to 200 mg/kg/day, and more desirably from about 50 to 100 mg/kg/day, and may be administered at a time or in a few divided portions a day. Any dosage form suited for administration of said compound can be used.
