Thiazole derivatives

The present invention relates to thiazole derivatives which have histamine H-2 antagonist activity. The invention also relates to processes for the preparation of these derivatives, to pharmaceutical preparations comprising them, and to their use.
Histamine is one of a number of naturally occurring physiologically active substances which are thought to interact with specific receptors. In the case of histamine, there are at least two types: one is called H-1 receptor (Ash and Schild, Brit. J. Pharmac. 1966, 27, 427), and the other is called the H-2 receptor (Black et al, Nature 1972, 236, 385). The action of histamine at the H-1 receptors, for example, stimulation of bronchial and gastro-intestinal smooth muscle, is blocked by the compounds generally known as "antihistamines", but which are now also called histamine H-1 antagonists, for example, mepyramine. The action of histamine at the H-2 receptors, for example, stimulation of gastric acid secretion and heart rate, is not blocked by mepyramine but is blocked by other compounds, for example, burimamide and cimetidine.
Histamine H-2 antagonists may be used to treat those conditions resulting from stimulation by histamine of H-2 receptors, either alone, for example, in inhibiting gastric acid secretion and thus treating its sequelae, for example, gastric and peptic ulcers; or together with H-1 antagonists for example, allergic and certain inflammatory conditions.
The present invention provides compounds of the general formula I, which are histamine H-2 antagonists: ##STR2## in which X represents --O--, --CH.sub.2 --, --S--, or --NH--,
n represents 1 or 2,
m represents 2, 3 or 4, and
A represents ##STR3## where R.sup.1 and R.sup.2, which may be the same or different, each represents a hydrogen atom, an alkyl group having from 1 to 10 carbon atoms, an aryl group, an aralkyl group having from 1 to 10 carbon atoms in the alkyl moiety, or an alkenyl or alkynyl group having from 2 to 10 carbon atoms, the above groups being unsubstituted or substituted, or
R.sup.1 and R.sup.2 together with the carbon atom to which they are linked form a ring which may contain one or more double bonds and may contain an oxygen atom, the total number of atoms in the ring being 5 or 6, or where
R.sup.3 and R.sup.4, which may be the same or different, each represents a hydrogen atom; a straight or branched chain alkyl group having from 1 to 10 carbon atoms; an alkenyl group having from 2 to 10 carbon atoms; an aryl group; a five or six membered heterocycle containing one or more --N--, --S--, or --O-- atoms, especially a pyridine, thiophen, furan or tetrahydrofuran group; an --COOR.sup.5 group in which R.sup.5 denotes a hydrogen atom or an alkyl group having from 1 to 4 carbon atoms; or a --CONH.sub.2 group; or R.sup.3 and R.sup.4 together with the carbon atom to which they are bonded form a cyclohexyl or cyclopentyl ring.
Isomerism may occur in compounds of the general formula I. It is to be understood that all possible isomers of a compound of formula I are included, and that references to a compound of formula I include individual isomers and also mixtures of any two or more isomers.
The invention also provides salts of a compound of formula I, especially physiologically tolerable salts thereof.
In the present specification the term "lower" is used to denote a group, radical or molecule having from 1 to 4 carbon atoms. Unless stated otherwise "halogen" denotes chlorine, bromine, iodine and fluorine.
An alkyl or alkenyl group has from 1 to 10 atoms and preferably 1 to 6 carbon atoms, and may be unsubstituted or substituted, for example by one or more groups, which may be the same or different, selected from hydroxyl groups; --OR.sup.6 groups in which R.sup.6 represents a lower alkyl group or an aryl group; --NR.sup.7 R.sup.8 groups in which R.sup.7 and R.sup.8 each denotes a hydrogen atom, a lower alkyl group, an aryl group, or a lower acyl group; --COOR.sup.9 groups, in which R.sup.9 represents a hydrogen atom or a lower alkyl group, --CONR.sup.7 R.sup.8 in which R.sup.7 and R.sup.8 are defined above and in addition together with the N atom may form a 5 or 6 membered ring; phenyl groups which may be substituted by a lower alkyl, lower alkoxy, phenoxy, halogen, dimethylaminomethyl, trifluoromethyl, nitro, cyano, sulphonic acid or sulphonamide substituent; heterocyclic groups, for examle, pyridine, thiophen, and furan groups, which may be substituted as defined above for phenyl groups; lower alkylsulphonyl and arylsulphonyl groups; and nitrile groups. ("Acyl" is carboxylic acyl.)
An aryl group is especially a phenyl group and may carry one or more substituents as defined above for phenyl. An aralkyl group is preferably a benzyl group and the aryl moiety may be substituted as defined above for phenyl groups.
It will be appreciated by the worker in the art that substituents that are incompatible for steric reasons or because of potential inter-reactions should not be chosen. The worker will also use his normal discretion in the number of substituents chosen.
The present invention also provides a process for the production of a compound of the general formula I, which comprises
(a) reacting a 2-alkylthio-4-imidazolidinone of the general formula II ##STR4## in which A is as defined above for compound I and R.sup.10 represents an alkyl group, especially a lower alkyl group, with a 2-guanidinothiazole of the general formula III ##STR5## in which X, n and m are as defined above for compound I; (Compounds of the general formula III are described in UK Specification No. 2 001 624A.)
(b) reacting a 2-alkylthioimidazolidin-4-one of the general formula II with a compound of the general formula IV
H--X--(CH.sub.2).sub.m --NH.sub.2 (IV)
in which X and m are defined as above, and reacting the resulting compound of formula V ##STR6## with a compound of the general formula VI ##STR7## in which Y denotes a halogen atom, an alkoxy or hydroxyl group, or a sulphonic acid ester; and, if desired, carrying out any one or more of the following:
(a) converting a resulting compound of formula I into a salt thereof or
(b) converting a resulting salt of a compound of formula I into the free base form, and
(c) converting a substituent of R.sup.1 and/or R.sup.2 into another substituent thereof.
Salts of formula I are generally acid addition salts, which may be prepared in the usual manner by reaction with an acid. Examples of physiologically tolerable acid addition salts are those with hydrobromic, hydrochloric, sulphuric, maleic, fumaric, succinic or citric acid.
A compound of formula I in the form of an acid addition salt may be converted into the free base form by reaction with a base in the usual manner.
Compounds II and III are generally reacted in a solvent or diluent, preferably an alcohol, at a temperature within the range of, for example, from 0.degree. to 100.degree. C., generally from 60.degree. to 80.degree. C. The compound of formula III should be reacted in the form of the free base, as shown. If it is initially present in the form of an acid addition salt, for example, as the hydrochloride or hydrobromide, this should be converted into the free base during or, preferably, before reaction with compound II. Conversion is carried out with a base, for example, triethylamine, sodium hydroxide or potassium hydroxide.
Compound II is generally reacted with compound IV under the conditions described above for the reaction of compounds II and III. Again, compound IV should be reacted in the form of the free base. In the subsequent reaction of compounds V and VI, when Y represents a halogen atom, the reaction is generally carried out in a solvent or diluent, and generally in the presence of a base. When Y represents an alkoxy or hydroxyl group, the reaction is generally carried out in a mineral acid, preferably a concentrated mineral acid, for example, concentrated hydrochloric or hydrobromic acid.
A compound of formula II may be produced by alkylating a compound of formula VII ##STR8## in which A is as defined above. The alkylation may be carried out with any alkylating agent, for example, an alkyl sulphate, for example, methyl sulphate or ethyl sulphate, methylfluorosulphonate, or an alkyl halide, especially an alkyl iodide, for example, methyl iodide, The reaction is carried out in the presence of an inorganic base, for example, sodium or potassium hydroxide, or sodium or potassium carbonate. The reaction is generally carried out in a solvent or diluent, and at a temperature of from 0.degree. to 100.degree. C., preferably at room temperature.
A few examples of 2-alkylthio-4-imidazolidinones have been prepared previously, see for example, H. Biltz, Chem. Berichte 42, 1792 (1909); Cook and Pollock, J. Chem. Soc. 1898 (1950); Shalaby, Z. Naturforsch. 32, 948 (1977).
A compound of formula VII in which A represents the group ##STR9## where R.sup.1 and R.sup.2 are defined as above, may be prepared according to known methods, see for example, M. Jackman, M. Klenk, B. Fishburn, B. F. Tullar and S. Archer, J. Am. Chem. Soc. 70; 2884 (1948).
A compound of formula VII in which A represents the group ##STR10## where R.sup.3 and R.sup.4 are defined as above, may be prepared by reacting 2-thiohydantoin or 3-acetyl-2-thiohydantoin with an aldehyde or ketone which comprises the groups R.sup.3 and R.sup.4 under a variety of reaction conditions, some examples of which are: sodium acetate/acetic acid--T. B. Johnson, J. Am. Chem. Soc. 61, 2485 (1939); sodium acetate/acetic anhydride--C. Niemann et al, J. Am. Chem. Soc. 64, 1678 (1942); sodium acetate alone--V. du Vigneaud, J. Biol. Chem. 159, 385 (1945); pyridine/piperidine--W. J. Boyd, Biochem. J. 29, 542 (1935); diethylamine/ethanol--A. P. Phillips, J. Am. Chem. Soc. 67, 744 (1945).
Histamine H.sub.2 -antagonists have been shown to inhibit gastric acid secretion in a variety of test animals and in man. These compounds are also capable of blocking the gastric secretion stimulated by exogenously administered histamine or pentagastrin; see Brimblecombe et al., J. Int. Med. Res. 3, 86 (1975).
Compounds of this invention were tested for antisecretory activity in the perfused rat stomach. The method of Ghosh and Schild, Brit. J. Pharmacol. 13, 54 (1958) as modified by Lawrence and Smith, Europ. J. Pharmacol. 25, 389 (1974) was used to prepare the test animals and acid secretion was stimulated by infusing either histamine or pentagastrin at a constant rate. After the secretion plateau was reached, the test compound was administered i.v. and the amount of compound required to inhibit the stimulated secretion by 50% was determined.
According to the test results obtained, the compounds of Formula I of this invention inhibit gastric acid secretion. Consequently, these compounds may be used to treat all pathological conditions in man and animals which are due to an overproduction of gastric acid, e.g. duodenal ulcer, gastric ulcer, gastritis, Zollinger-Ellison syndrome, reflux oesophagitis.
The ID.sub.50 values for some of the compounds listed under example I of this invention are given in the following table.

The present invention provides a pharmaceutical preparation which comprise a compound of the general formula I or a physiologically tolerable salt thereof, in admixture or conjunction with a pharmaceutically suitable carrier. A preparation of the invention may be in a form suitable for oral, parenteral or topical administration. The amount of a compound of formula I or of a physiologically tolerable salt thereof to be administered is, for example, in the range of from 0.01 to 10 mg/kg body weight. The present invention also provides the use of a compound of the general formula I or of a physiologically tolerable salt thereof as a histamine H-2 antagonist.

2[2-[(2-Guanidino-4-thiazolyl)]methylthio]ethylamino-5-(3-phenoxybenzylidenyl)-imidazolidin-4-one (96)
0.4 g of 2-guanidino-4-[(2-aminoethyl)thiomethyl]thiazole dihydrochloride is thoroughly mixed with a solution of 0.15 g (2.6 mmoles) of potassium hydroxide in 15 ml of absolute ethanol. The precipitated potassium chloride is filtered off and washed with 5 ml of absolute ethanol. To this filtrate is added 0.5 g of 2-methylthio-5-(3-phenoxybenzylidenyl)-imidazolidin-4-one and the solution refluxed until TLC indicates the disappearance of starting thiazole (approximately 6 hours). The solvent is then evaporated to dryness and the product purified by column chromatography on silica gel, eluting with a mixture of 85% chloroform, 14% methanol, 1% concentrated aqueous ammonia. 223 mg of the title compound is obtained.
TLC: silica gel, CHCl.sub.3 /CH.sub.3 OH/NH.sub.4 OH (70:25:1) R.sub.f =0.56.
