TECHNICAL FIELD
This invention relates to novel heterocyclic compounds exhibiting bronchodilator activity. Pharmacological methods of using such compounds, pharmaceutical formulations containing such compounds and synthetic intermediates for preparing such compounds are also described.
BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION
A variety of aromatic heterocyclic compounds are known to exhibit bronchodilator activity. One of the most widely used compounds for treatment of mammals is theophylline, which has the structure shown below: ##STR1##
Numerous attempts to obtain a safer, more potent bronchodilator have not yet supplanted theophylline.
Pyrimido[5,4-b]oxazines are known compounds which are reported by Sazonov, et al., Khimiya Geterotsiklicheskikh Soedinenii, 1973, 171; ibid., 1972, 1285, and ibid., 1976, 681. These compounds, which have not been described as bronchodilators, have the following structure: ##STR2## wherein R is amino, acetamido, hydrogen or methyl; R' is hydrogen, methyl, hydrazino, piperidino, morpholino, methoxy, methylthio, mercapto, chloro or hydroxy; and R" is hydrogen, methyl, ethyl, propyl, or dimethyl.
Pyrimido[4,5-b][1,4]oxazines are known compounds which are reported by Melik-Ogandzhanyan, et al., Khimiya Geterotsiklicheskikh Soedinenii, 1985, 974. The corresponding 4-chloro, 4-hydroxy, 4-dialkylamino, 4-morpholino and 4-piperidino derivatives are reported. They have the following structure: ##STR3## wherein R is methyl or hydrogen and R' is chloro, hydroxy, N,N-dimethylamino, N,N-diethylamino, morpholino or piperidino. None of the reported compounds were described as bronchodilators.
Some pyrimido[5,4-b][1,4]thiazines are known, reported by E. F. Schroeder and R. M. Dodson, J. Amer. Chem. Soc., 84, 1904-1913 (1962) and by R. N. Henri, R. A. Lazarus and S. J. Benkovic, J. Med. Chem., 26, 559-563 (1983). None of the reported compounds were described as bronchodilators.
U.S. Pat. Nos. 4,477,450 and 4,572,910, respectively, disclose triazolo[4,3-c]pyrimidines and triazolo[1,5-c]pyrimidines which contain a heterocyclic amine moiety such as piperazino, piperidino, morpholino or thiomorpholino on the 5 and/or 7-position of the pyrimidine ring. These compounds are bronchodilators.
Triazolo[1,5-c]pyrimido[4,5-b][1,4]oxazines, triazolo[1,5-c]pyrimido[5,4-b][1,4]oxazines and triazolo[1,5-c]pyrimido[5,4 b][1,4]thiazines have not previously been reported.

Particularly preferred compounds of Formula I are the last fourteen mentioned above.
Compounds of Formula I are bronchodilators. The bronchodilator activity of the compounds of Formula I may be shown by the measurement of effects on isolated tracheal spirals. This is a well-known and long established in vitro test method. The bronchodilator activity is determined according to the following procedure: Female guinea pigs were sacrificed and each trachea removed and cut into a spiral strip. This strip was mounted in a constant temperature (37.degree. C.) muscle bath having a volume of approximately 15 ml. The bathing medium was Krebs-Henseleit solution. Movement of the tracheal strip was measured-by means of an isometric transducer connected to an electric recorder. The bath was aerated with a mixture of 95% carbon dioxide and 5% oxygen. Contractions were induced in the strips by the addition of a suitable amount of histamine, leukotriene C.sub.4, acetylcholine or barium chloride. The amount of a given compound of Formula I (measured in mcg/ml) required to provide greater than 75% relaxation of drug-induced contraction is considered an effective concentration. For comparison, a well known standard bronchodilator, aminophylline (the ethylenediamine salt of theophylline), requires concentrations of 50 mcg/ml versus histamine, 100 mcg/ml versus acetylcholine and 10 mcg/ml versus barium chloride to provide greater than 75% relaxation.
The compounds of formula I which were most active in the above described in vitro test, including most of those listed above as preferred compounds, were tested in vivo in the guinea pig for bronchodilator activity using the so-called Konzett-Rossler in vivo test method. The activity was determined according to the procedure which follows. The Konzett-Rossler technique [H. Konzett and R. Rossler, Naunyn-Schmiedebergs Arch. Pharmakol., 195, 71-74 (1940)]was used to assess the effect of test drugs on antigen challenge of male Hartley strain guinea pigs (350-500 g). Sensitized (50 mg/kg ovalbumin, i.p., 14-21 days previously) or naive animals were anesthetized with pentobarbital (70 mg/kg, i.p.) and spontaneous respiration eliminated with succinylcholine (2 mg/kg i.p.). The trachea was cannulated and respiration maintained under positive pressure with a miniature ventilator (5 ml/breath, 87/minute, 10 cm water). Bronchoconstrictor responses were represented as increased excursions of the tracing on a physiological recorder of air overflow to the lungs measured by a pneumotachograph in series with a differential pressure transducer. Sensitized animals were challenged with ovalbumin (100 mcg/kg, i.v.) after the i.p. or p.o. administration of test drugs. Active compounds are those which demonstrate an intraperitoneal or oral IC.sub.50 of 25 mg per kg or less, and preferably an IC.sub.50 of 10 mg per kg or less. Most preferred compounds are active at 10 mg per kg.
The compounds of Formula I may be administered to mammals in order to obtain bronchodilation. The compounds may be administered orally, parenterally or by inhalation. Preferably they are administered orally in tablets or capsules. The usual effective human dose will be in the range of 0.1 to 50 mg/kg of body weight.
Salts of compounds of Formula I wherein A is methylene and B is methylene or --CHR.sub.9 -- are generally prepared by reaction with an equimolar amount of a relatively strong acid, preferably an inorganic acid such as hydrochloric, sulfuric or phosphoric acid, in a polar solvent. Isolation of the salt is facilitated by the addition of a solvent in which the salt is insoluble, an example of such a solvent being diethyl ether.
The compounds of Formula I, either as the free base or in the form of a pharmaceutically acceptable acid addition salt, can be combined with conventional pharmaceutical diluents and carriers to form such dosage forms as tablets, capsules, suspensions, solutions, suppositories and the like.
The pharmaceutical carrier employed may be, for example, either a solid or liquid. Examples of solid carriers are lactose, terra alba, sucrose, talc, gelatin, agar, pectin, acacia, magnesium stearate, stearic acid, and the like. Liquid carriers include syrup, peanut oil, olive oil, water and the like. Similarly, the carrier or diluent can include a time delay material well known to the art, such as glyceryl monostearate or glyceryl distearate, these being employed alone or, for example, in combination with a wax.
When Y is N--R.sub.10 or O, the compounds of Formula VI, which are subsets of compounds of Formula I, may be prepared according to Reaction Scheme I below, wherein the various substituents are as defined in the context of Formula I above with the exception that R.sub.7 may only be hydrogen, alkyl or benzyl. ##STR7##
In step (1), a 4-hydrazinopyrimido[5,4-b][1,4]oxazine, or -[4,5-b][1,4]oxazine or -oxazinone of Formula IV, which can be prepared as described in Reaction Scheme II below, is reacted with an orthoester of the formula R.sub.2 C(OAlk).sub.3 to provide a novel compound of Formula V. Orthoesters of the formula R.sub.2 C(OAlk).sub.3 are well known and readily available. Examples of suitable orthoesters include trimethyl orthoformate, triethyl orthoformate, triethyl orthoacetate, triethyl orthopropionate and the like. Since the orthoesters are liquids, it is convenient to mix the compound of Formula IV with an excess of orthoester and to heat the mixture at reflux until reaction is complete.
In step (2), the compound of Formula V is heated with a suitable reagent to provide a product of Formula VI, a subset of the compounds of Formula I. This reaction is preferably carried out by heating the reaction mixture at its reflux temperature in a solvent inert to these conditions such as a lower alkanol. In general, the preferred reagents to effect the reaction of step (2) are alkali metal alkoxides such as sodium methoxide or sodium ethoxide, in catalytic amounts. It is also possible to use aqueous lower alkanoic acids such as formic acid, acetic acid and propionic acid to effect the reaction of step (2). The products of Formula VI, a subset of the compounds of Formula I, are isolated by conventional methods such as filtration, extraction or chromatography.
Compounds of either Formula V or VI, wherein R.sub.7 is hydrogen, may be readily acetylated by conventional methods.
Compounds of Formula IV, appearing in Reaction Scheme I above, may be prepared according to Reaction Scheme II below wherein the various substituents are as defined in the context of Formula I above when Y is O or N--R.sub.10 with the exception that R.sub.7 may only be hydrogen, alkyl or benzyl. In this scheme, Q.sub.1 and Q.sub.2 are either N-H and O or O and N-H, respectively. In structures of the scheme of Formula VII or VIII either A or B, but not both simultaneously, must be carbonyl, while in structures IX and X, A and B can only be methylene or --CHR.sub.9 --. ##STR8##
The compounds of Formula VII wherein Q.sub.1 is NH, Q.sub.2 is O, A is carbonyl and B is methylene or --CHR.sub.9 -- are known and can be synthesized using the general procedure described by Sazonov, et al., Khimiya Geterotsiklicheskikh Soedinenii, 1973, 171; ibid., 1972, 1285, and ibid., 1976, 681, each of these three publications being incorporated herein by reference. Variations of the procedure described in these publications are conventional and involve primarily variations either in the starting amidine or in the added 2-haloalkanoic ester or acid.
The compounds of Formula VII wherein Q.sub.1 is O, Q.sub.2 is NH, A is methylene, and B is carbonyl, are also known, and can be synthesized using the general procedures described by Melik-Ogandzhanyan, et al., Khimiya Geterotsiklicheskikh Soedinenii, 1985, 974, incorporated herein by reference. Variations of the procedures described in this publication are conventional and involve primarily variations in the starting amidine.
In step (3) of Reaction Scheme II, a compound of Formula VII is reacted with a benzyl halide or an alkyl halide such as an alkyl iodide or alkyl bromide to provide a compound of Formula VIII. The reaction is conducted in a lower alkanol solvent in the presence of an alkali metal alkoxide such as sodium methoxide or in the solvent N,N-dimethylformamide in the presence of sodium hydride. The reaction mixture is generally heated at or near its reflux temperature in an alkanol solvent or from 20.degree. to 50.degree. C. in N,N-dimethylformamide.
When Q.sub.1 is O and Q.sub.2 is N-H the reaction preferably uses sodium hydride in N,N-dimethylformamide rather than an alkali metal alkoxide in an alkanol.
Step (4) involves the reaction of a compound of Formula VIII with hydrazine hydrate optionally in a lower alkanol solvent such as n-butyl alcohol to provide a novel intermediate of Formula IV.
The compounds of Formula IV wherein A is methylene and B is methylene or --CHR.sub.9 -- can be made by sequential application of steps (5) and (6). In step (5), the amide compounds of Formula VIII are reduced to the amines of Formula X by reaction with a borane reagent. Generally, 4 moles of borane per mole of the compound of Formula VIII are employed, and the reaction is accompanied by heating at a temperature up to the reflux temperature of the mixture. The reaction is carried out in an inert solvent such as tetrahydrofuran and the borane reagent employed may be, for example, a methyl sulfide complex of borane in tetrahydrofuran.
In step (6), the amines of Formula X are reacted with hydrazine hydrate in the same fashion as in step (4) to provide the compounds of Formula IV.
The compounds of Formula X can also be provided by sequential application of steps (7) and (8). Thus in step (7), the amide VII is first reduced with a borane reagent, in a fashion similar to that of step (5), to obtain the compound of Formula IX. Alkylation of compound IX in step (8) then provides a compound of Formula X.
Compounds of Formula IV wherein R.sub.7 is hydrogen are obtained by omitting the alkylation steps (3) or (8), and instead reacting either a compound of Formula VII or a compound of Formula IX with hydrazine hydrate, using the method of step (4).
When Y is S and A is carbonyl and B is methylene or --CHR.sub.9 --, the compounds of Formula XIX, which are a subset of compounds of Formula I, can be prepared according to Reaction Scheme III below, wherein the various substituents are as defined in the context of Formula I above with the exception that R.sub.7 may only be alkyl or benzyl. ##STR9##
Compounds of structure XI, where R.sub.7 is lower alkyl or benzyl, are known and can be prepared as described by Gewald in J. Prakt. Chem., 32, 26-30 (1966), the disclosure of which is incorporated herein by reference. Compounds of Formula XIII are prepared in step (9) using Gewald's general procedure, but using an orthoester of the formula R.sub.5 C(OAlk).sub.3 rather than triethyl orthoformate.
An alternate route to the preparation of the compounds of Formula XIII can be employed and is shown in step (9'). It involves the synthetic process described by Gewald with the exception that the compound of Formula XII is reacted with acetamidine hydrochloride in a refluxing solvent, preferably a lower chain alcohol, containing 1.5 to 2.0 equivalents of sodium methoxide, to form the compounds of Formula XIII.
The reaction of step (10) to form the compounds of Formula XIV can be carried out according to the procedure of Gewald, J. Prakt. Chem., 32, 26-30 (1966), although only 5-mercapto-6-phenylamino-3H-pyrimidin-4-one was specifically described by him.
Step (11) to form the novel compounds of Formula XV is carried out by reacting a compound of Formula XIV with a 2-haloalkanoic acid in refluxing sodium hydroxide solution, followed by refluxing the resultant isolated intermediate in acetic anhydride to provide the compounds of Formula XV.
Step (12) involves reaction of the compounds of Formula XV with phosphorus oxychloride to provide the 4-chloro compounds of Formula XVI.
Step (13) involves reaction of hydrazine or hydrazine hydrate with the compounds of Formula XVI to provide the novel compounds of Formula XVII.
Step (14) involves reaction of a hydrazino compound of Formula XVII with an orthoester of the formula R.sub.2 C(OAlk).sub.3 to provide a novel compound of Formula XVIII. Orthoesters of the formula R.sub.2 C(OAlk).sub.3 are well known and readily available compounds or may be prepared by known methods. Specific examples of suitable orthoesters include trimethyl orthoformate, triethyl orthoformate, triethyl orthoacetate, triethyl orthopropionate and the like. Since the orthoesters are liquids,-it is convenient to mix an excess of orthoester with the compound of Formula XVII and reflux until the desired compound of Formula XVIII is formed.
In step (15) the compound of Formula XVIII is rearranged by refluxing in a solution of a catalytic amount of methanolic sodium methoxide to form the compounds of Formula XIX, a subset of the compounds of Formula I, wherein A is carbonyl.
Compounds of Formula XIX are solids which may be readily isolated by conventional methods such as filtration, extraction or chromatography. Structural assignments may be confirmed by infrared and nuclear magnetic resonance spectral analyses.
When Y is S, A is methylene and B is methylene or --CHR.sub.9 --, the compounds of Formula XXVI, which are a subset of compounds of Formula I, can be prepared according to Reaction Scheme IV below, wherein the various substituents are as defined in the context of Formula I above. ##STR10##
The 5,6-dihydro-3-ethoxy-2-ethoxycarbonyl-2H[1,4]thiazines of Formula XX can be prepared according to the procedure of Great Britain patent application 2,143,234A and Henrie II, Robert N., Lazarus, Robert A., and Benkovic, Stephen J., J. Med. Chem., 26, No. 4, 559-563 (1983), the disclosures of both of which are incorporated herein by reference. The compound of Formula XX is reacted in step (16) with an amidine salt in a refluxing alcohol to which has been added 2.0 to 2.5 equivalents of sodium methoxide; thus forming the oxopyrimido[5,4-b][1,4]thiazines of Formula XXI.
Step (17) involves reaction of the compounds of Formula XXI with phosphorus oxychloride to provide the 4-chloro compounds of Formula XXII.
Step (18) involves reaction of hydrazine or hydrazine hydrate with the compounds of Formula XXII to provide the novel hydrazino compounds of Formula XXIII.
Step (19) involves reaction of a hydrazino compound of Formula XXIII with an orthoester of the formula R.sub.2 C(OAlk).sub.3 to provide a novel compound of Formula XXIV. Orthoesters of the formula R.sub.2 C(OAlk).sub.3 are well known and readily available compounds or may be prepared by known methods. Specific examples of suitable orthoesters include trimethyl orthoformate, triethyl orthoformate, triethyl orthoacetate, triethyl orthopropionate and the like. Since the orthoesters are liquids, it is convenient to mix an excess of orthoester with the compound of Formula XXIII and reflux until the desired compound of Formula XXIV is formed.
In step (20) the compound of Formula XXIV is rearranged by refluxing in a solution of a catalytic amount of methanolic sodium methoxide to form the compounds of Formula XXV.
Step (21) involves the further reaction of the 8,9-dihydro-1,2,4-triazolo[1,5-c]pyrimido[5,4-b][1,4]thiazines of Formula XXV with an alkyl, acyl or benzyl halide to form the compounds of Formula XXVI, which are a subset of compounds of Formula I. Although in the specific examples described herein alkylation was carried out using a compound of Formula XXV, alkylation could have also been carried out using a compound of either Formula XXII or Formula XXIV.
Compounds of Formula XXII, Formula XXIV, Formula XXV or Formula XXVI can be oxidized to their respective sulfoxides by reaction with sodium metaperiodate, or a peracid such as meta-chloroperbenzoic acid. Similarly, any of the compounds previously mentioned which are capable of oxidation to the sulfoxide may be independently oxidized to the sulfone by the action of a peracid such as metachloroperbenzoic acid. Alternatively, and sulfoxide may be further oxidized to form the corresponding sulfone.
All compounds of Formula XXVI, a subset of compounds of Formula I, are solids which may be readily isolated by conventional methods such as filtration, extraction or chromatography. Structural assignments may be confirmed by infrared and nuclear magnetic resonance spectral analyses.

The following examples are provided to illustrate the methods used in the invention. They are not intended to limit the invention.

Step 1
Preparation of 8,9-Dihydro-5,7-dimethyl-3-ethyl-1,2,4 triazolo[4,3-c)pyrimido[5,4-b][1,4]oxazin-8-one
A mixture of 4.0g (0.019 mole) of 6,7-dihydro-2,8-dimethyl-4-hydrazinopyrimido[5,4-b][1,4]oxazin-7-one and 25 ml of triethyl propionate was heated first at 110.degree. C. for about 16 hours and then at 130.degree. C. for an additional 25.5 hours. The mixture was evaporated by passing a stream of nitrogen gas over it, and 1.0g of the solid residue was separated for reaction in Step 2. The remainder of the residue was dissolved in dichloromethane and passed through a silica flash chromatography column, eluting sequentially with ethyl acetate and acetone.

C. in an ice bath. To this solution was added, in small portions, a suspension of 4.0g (18.5 mmole) of meta-chloroperbenzoic acid (80-85% pure) in about 35ml of chloroform. When addition was complete, the solution was stirred at about 0.degree. C. for approximately 2 hours, at which time thin layer chromatographic analysis, eluting with ethyl acetate indicated the absence of starting material. The reaction solution was diluted with about 1 liter of chloroform and washed sequentially with 5% sodium hydroxide solution (thrice with about 500ml) and then with water (thrice with 500ml). The chloroform solution was dried over magnesium sulfate, filtered and concentrated in vacuo to provide 2.48g of the light pink solid. The crude solid was purified by flash chromatography, eluting with ethyl acetate. The fractions containing the pure compound were combined and concentrated in vacuo. The solid obtained was triturated with hexanes, filtered and dried to provide 0.5g of 5,7-diethyl-10,10-dioxo-2-methyl-1,2,4-triazolo[1,5-c]pyrimido[5,4-b][1,4]thiazine as a white crystalline solid, m.p. 218.degree.-221.degree.

Preparation of 8,9-dihydro-2,5,7-triethyl-1,2,4-triazolo[1,5-c]pyrimido[5,4-b][1,4]thiazine dihydrogen sulfate
The dihydrogen sulfate salt of the compound of Example 154 was prepared by dissolving 0.5g (1.8 mmole) of 8,9-dihydro-2,5,7-triethyl-1,2,4-triazolo[1,5-c]pyrimido[5,4-b][1,4]thiazine in approximately 5ml of ethyl alcohol. To this solution, was added dropwise 0.18g (1.8mmole) of concentrated sulfuric acid and the resultant solution was diluted with diethyl ether to produce a slightly cloudy solution. Upon standing at about 20.degree. C., a solid precipitated. The solid was separated by suction filtration and dried in a vacuum oven (without heat) to provide 0.6g (89%) of 8,9-dihydro-2,5,7-triethyl-1,2,4-triazolo[1,5-c]pyrimido[5,4-b][1,4]thiazine dihydrogen sulfate, m.p. 226.degree.-229.degree.

EXAMPLE 159
Preparation of 7-acetyl-8,9-dihydro-2-ethyl-5-methyl-1,2,4-triazolo[1,5-c]pyrimido[5,4-b][1,4]thiazine
To a solution of 0.9g (3.62 mmole) of 8,9-dihydro-2-ethyl-5-methyl-1,2,4-triazolo[1,5-c]pyrimido[5,4-b][1,4]thiazine (from Example 145) in approximately 50ml of chloroform was added 0.4g (4.05 mmole) of triethylamine, followed by the addition of 0.58g (7.4 mmole) of acetyl chloride. The reaction mixture was refluxed under a nitrogen atmosphere for about 2 hours at which time thin layer chromatographic analysis, eluting with ethyl acetate, indicated that the reaction was complete. After cooling and dilution with about 100ml of chloroform, the reaction solution was washed twice with 50ml portions of water, twice with 40ml portions of a 5% solution of hydrochloric acid, twice with 50ml portions of aqueous sodium bicarbonate solution, twice with 50ml portions of water, dried over magnesium sulfate, filtered and concentrated in vacuo to provide a yellow solid. The solid was flash chromatographed, eluting with ethyl acetate, to provide 0.5g (23%) of product which after recrystallization from benzene:hexanes yielded 0.32g of a white solid, 7-acetyl-8,9-dihydro-2-ethyl-5-methyl-1,2,4-triazolo[1,5 c]pyrimido[5,4-b][1,4]thiazine, m.p. 164.degree.-165.degree.
