Description
DESCRIPTION
This invention relates to new therapeutically useful thiazoline derivatives of the general formula: ##STR2## wherein (a) R.sub.1 represents a hydrogen atom or an alkyl radical containing 1 or 2 carbon atoms, or a methoxymethyl radical, R.sub.2 represents an alkyl radical containing 1 or 2 carbon atoms in the 4-, 5- or 6-position, and R.sub.3 represents a methyl radical, or alternatively (b) R.sub.3 represents a hydrogen atom and either R.sub.1 represents a hydrogen atom, a straight- or branched-chain alkyl radical containing 1 to 4 carbon atoms, or an alkoxymethyl radical in which the alkyl moiety contains 1 to 4 carbon atoms in a straight or branched chain, and R.sub.2 represents a straight- or branched-chain alkyl radical containing 1 to 4 carbon atoms in the 4-, 5- or 6-position, or R.sub.1 represents a cyclopropyl radical and R.sub.2 represents a hydrogen atom.
According to a feature of the present invention, the thiazoline derivatives of general formula I are prepared by the process which comprises dehydrating a compound of the general formula: ##STR3## wherein R.sub.1, R.sub.2 and R.sub.3 are as hereinbefore defined.
The general formula IIA generally corresponds to the preponderant form, in the crystalline state, of the products in which R.sub.1, R.sub.2 and R.sub.3 are as defined above under (a), or alternatively R.sub.3 represents a hydrogen atom and either R.sub.1 represents a hydrogen atom, an alkyl radical containing 1 to 4 carbon atoms, the carbon atoms of which are primary or secondary, or an alkoxymethyl radical in which the alkyl moiety contains 1 to 4 carbon atoms in a straight or branched chain and R.sub.2 represents an alkyl radical containing 1 to 4 carbon atoms in the 4-, 5- or 6-position, or R.sub.1 represents a cyclopropyl radical and R.sub.2 represents a hydrogen atom.
The general formula IIB generally corresponds to the preponderant form, in the crystalline state, of the products in which R.sub.1 represents a tert.-butyl radical, R.sub.2 represents an alkyl radical containing 1 to 4 carbon atoms in the 4-, 5- or 6-position, and R.sub.3 represents a hydrogen atom.
The dehydration of compounds of general formula II is advantageously carried out in a strong inorganic or organic acid medium at a temperature between 60.degree. C. and the reflux temperature of the reaction mixture. The reaction is preferably carried out in the presence of p-toluenesulphonic acid in an organic solvent such as toluene, or in the presence of a methanolic solution of hydrochloric acid.
The compounds of general formula II can be obtained by the reaction of an .alpha.-halogen-ketone or -aldehyde of the general formula: ##STR4## (wherein R.sub.1 and R.sub.3 are as hereinbefore defined, and X represents a halogen, preferably a bromine or chlorine, atom) with a dithiocarbamate of the general formula: ##STR5## wherein R.sub.2 is as hereinbefore defined and the symbols R.sub.4 (which are identical or different) each represent an alkyl radical containing 1 to 4 carbon atoms.
The reaction of a compound of general formula III with a dithiocarbamate of the general formula IV is generally carried out in an organic solvent (for example dimethylformamide or acetonitrile), in water, or in an aqueous-organic medium (for example a mixture of water and acetonitrile) at a temperature between -10.degree. and +50.degree. C. It is not essential to isolate the resulting compound of general formula II from the reaction mixture in order to carry out the dehydration.
The dithiocarbamates of the general formula IV can be obtained in accordance with the method described by E. B. Knott, J. Chem. Soc., 1644-9 (1956), or in accordance with German Patent Application DE No. 2508891, by the action of carbon disulphide, in the presence of a tertiary amine, on a 2-aminopyridine of the general formula: ##STR6## wherein R.sub.2 is as hereinbefore defined.
The thiazoline derivatives of general formula I so obtained can optionally be purified by physical methods such as crystallization or chromatography.
The thiazoline derivatives of general formula I possess pharmacological properties which justify their use as anti-ulcer agents.
The compounds of general formula I have shown themselves to be active as anti-ulcer agents in rats at doses of between 5 and 100 mg/kg animal body weight, administered orally, using the technique of Rossi et al., C. R. Soc. Biol., 150, 2124, and some of them have shown themselves to be active at the same doses using the technique of Shay et al., Gastroenterology, 5, 43 (1945). Some of them have also shown themselves to be active as anti-ulcer agents in guinea pigs at doses of between 5 and 100 mg/kg animal body weight, administered orally, using the technique of Anderson and Watt, J. Physiol. (London), 147, 52 P (1959).
The acute toxicity of the compounds of the invention, expressed as a 50% lethal dose (LD.sub.50) in the case of mice is between 100 and more than 900 mg/kg animal body weight administered orally.
Of particular interest are the thiazoline derivatives of general formula I wherein R.sub.1 represents an alkyl radical containing 1 to 4 carbon atoms, or a methoxymethyl radical, R.sub.2 represents an alkyl radical containing 1 to 4 carbon atoms in the 4-, 5- or 6-position, and R.sub.3 represents a hydrogen atom, and especially those such compounds of general formula I wherein R.sub.1 represents an alkyl radical containing 1 or 2 carbon atoms, or a methoxymethyl radical, R.sub.2 represents an alkyl radical containing 1 to 4 carbon atoms in the 4-, 5- or 6-position, and R.sub.3 represents a hydrogen atom.

The present invention also includes within its scope pharmaceutical compositions which comprise, as active ingredient, a thiazoline derivative of general formula I in association with a pharmaceutically-acceptable carrier or coating. The invention includes especially such preparations made up for oral, parenteral or rectal administration.
Solid compositions for oral administration include tablets, pills, powders and granules. In such solid compositions the active compound is admixed with at least one inert diluent such as sucrose, lactose or starch. The compositions may also comprise, as is normal practice, additional substances other than inert diluents, e.g. lubricating agents, such as magnesium stearate. Liquid compositions for oral administration include pharmaceutically-acceptable emulsions, solutions, suspensions, syrups and elixirs containing inert diluents commonly used in the art, such as water and liquid paraffin. Besides inert diluents such compositions may also comprise adjuvants, such as wetting, emulsifying and suspending agents, and sweetening, flavouring and aromatizing agents. The compositions according to the invention, for oral administration, also include capsules of absorbable material such as gelatin containing the active substance with or without the addition of diluents or excipients.
Preparations according to the invention for parenteral administration include sterile suspensions or emulsions and non-aqueous solutions. Examples of non-aqueous solvents or vehicles are propylene glycol, polyethylene glycol, vegetable oils such as olive oil, and injectable organic esters such as ethyl oleate. These compositions may also contain adjuvants such as preserving, wetting, emulsifying and dispersing agents. They may be sterilised by, for example, filtration through a bacteria-retaining filter, by incorporation in the compositions of sterilising agents, by irradiation, or by heating. They may also be manufactured in the form of sterile solid compositions, which can be dissolved in a sterile injectable medium immediately before use.
Compositions for rectal administration are suppositories which contain, in addition to the active substance, excipients such as cacao butter or a suitable wax base.
The percentage of active ingredient in the compositions of the invention may be varied, it being necessary that it should constitute a proportion such that a suitable dosage shall be obtained.
In human therapy, the pharmaceutical compositions according to the invention are particularly useful in the treatment of various forms of gastritis and gastralgia, especially those caused by other medicaments, and in the treatment of ulcerous maladies (e.g. gastric or duodenol ulcers or peptic ulcers).
In human therapy, the doses of the thiazoline derivatives depend on the desired effect and the duration of the treatment; adult doses are generally between 50 and 1000 mg per day, administered orally.
In general, the physician will decide the posology considered appropriate, taking into account the age and weight and other factors intrinsic to the patient being treated.
