This application is a 371 of PCT/JP 94/02282, filed 28 Dec. 1994 which claims the priority of Japanese Applications 5/337189 filed 28 Dec. 1993 and 6/202349 filed 26 Aug. 1994.
BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION
1. Field of the Invention
The present invention relates to novel tricyclic benzazepine compounds, novel benzothiazepine compounds having anti-allergic activities, synthetic intermediates thereof, and processes for preparing them.
2. Background Art
It has been recently shown that allergic reactions such as immune responses caused by a variety of irritations include immediate type responses occurring just after irritation and delayed type responses occurring after several hours of irritation (see, for example "Late Asthmatic Responses", P. M. O'byrne, J. Dolovich and F. E. Hargreave, Am. Rev. Resppir. Dis., 1987, 136:740-751). The delayed responses, in particular, have been regarded as important to control.
In clinical aspects, there are few agents which have sufficient efficacy against the delayed allergy. It is thus desired to develop an agent which exhibits excellent therapeutic effects on either response of immediate type and delayed type.
There has hitherto been known sodium cromoglycate as a typical agent for suppressing allergic responses of immediate type and delayed type. However, this exhibits no effectiveness on oral administration and thus is clinically administered by inhalation.
However, it is sometimes difficult to administer properly to infants or little children by inhalation or to administer continuously to patients sensitive to inhalating irritation.
Because of these backgrounds, it has been desired to develop a compound which inhibits both immediate and delayed allergic responses, can be administered orally and has an excellent efficacy.
Furthermore, in recent years, a number of studies have been done on anti-allergic agents and anti-asthmatic therapeutics, among which tri-cyclic compounds containing a seven-membered ring have been reported. For instance, dibenzoxepin derivatives are disclosed in Japanese Patent Laid-Open Publication Nos. 10784/1988 and 78292/1993, and Chemical & Pharmaceutical Bulletin, 39 (10), 2724-2728 and 2729-2733 (1991), dibenzoxazepin derivatives in Japanese Patent Laid-Open Publication Nos. 184963/1991, 211071/1992 and 65257/1993, and European Patent EP 5180720, and dibenzocycloheptene derivatives in International Patent WO/93-13068.
Also, heterocyclic ring-containing compounds have been reported as anti-allergic agent. For instance, dibenzoxepinopyridine derivatives are disclosed in European Patent EP 515158, benzocycloheptathiophene derivatives in Japanese Patent Laid-Open Publication Nos. 294277/1991, and 226916/1992, benzocycloheptapyridine derivatives in Japanese Patent Laid-Open Publication No. 59040/1993, triazoloheptapyridine derivatives in Japanese Patent Laid-Open Publication No. 59040/1993, triazolobenzoxepine derivatives in Journal of Chemical Research (S), 400-401 (1984), thieno(pyrazolo-, thiazolo-)benzothiazepine derivatives in European Patent No. 547705.
Some of these derivatives have been reported to have side-effects on central or cardiovascular systems and thus to have a problem that the anti-allergic action be separated from the central actions including calmative, antidepressant or anxiolytic actions or the cardiovascular actions including hypotensive or anti-thrombotic actions. Among those compounds having similar structures, cyproheptadine hydrochloride is only available as an anti-allergic agent.
As for the additional similar compounds, there have been described pyridobenzoxazepine derivatives as HIV-1 reverse transcriptase inhibitors in Japanese Patent Laid-Open Publication No. 178390/1992, triazolobenzoxazepine derivatives as anti-depressant in Journal of Heterocyclic Chemistry, 22, 1693-1701 (1985), and triazolobenzodiazepine derivatives as anti-psychotic agents in Journal of Medicinal Chemistry, 32 (10), 2375-2381 (1989).
However, there has been described, as far as the present inventors know, no tricyclic benzazepine compound containing a triazole ring.

Pharmacological Test 1
Test of suppressing histamine releasing reaction
(1) Preparation of anti-serum
Rat anti-dinitrophenylated ascaris protein (referred to hereinafter as DNP-As) serum was prepared according to the method described by Tada, T. and Okumura, K., J. Immun., 106 (4), 1971. Briefly, 1.times.10.sup.10 of inviable pertussis and 1 mg of DNP-As were administered subcutaneously to the paw of female Brown Norway rats having a body weight of 200 g. After five days, 0.5 mg of DNP-As was further administered intramuscularly to the rear of the animals. Blood samples were taken after three days of the administration to prepare anti-serum. The anti-serum had a titer of 1:1,000-1:2,000 measured by the passively immunized cutaneous anaphylaxis reaction for 48 hours in rats.
(2) Induction of histamine releasing reaction and suppression of the releasing reaction by the drugs
A 1 ml portion of the serum diluted four times with physiological saline was administered intraperitoneally to male Wister rats. After two days, abdominal cavity was rinsed with phosphate buffer to recover the cells within the abdominal cavity. After the cell concentration was adjusted to 10.sup.5 cell/ml, the cells were stimulated with 1 .mu.g/ml of DNP-As. The amount of histamine released into the supernatant was measured according to the method described by Shore, P. A., Burkhalter, A. H. and Chon, V. H. Jr., J. Pharm. Exp. Ther., 127, 182-186 (1959).
A dose for suppressing 50% of the histamine releasing reaction, i.e., IC.sub.50 value, was calculated from the amounts of histamine released in the group treated with the test compounds in the molar concentrations (M) of 10.sup.-5 -10.sup.-10 and in the control group. The IC.sub.50 value as the suppressing effect of the drugs is shown in Table 6 with the IC.sub.50 value of sodium chromoglycic acid selected as the control compound.
As apparent from the result, the compound of the present invention exhibited an excellent suppressing effect of the histamine releasing reaction.

Pharmacological Test 2
Test for suppressing immediate and delayed allergic reaction
1.times.10.sup.10 of inviable pertussis and 1 mg of dinitrophenylated ovalbumin (DNP-OA) were administered subcutaneously to the three paws except the right hind paw of male Wister rats having a body weight of 200 g. After 10 days, 5 .mu.g of DNP-OA was further administered subcutaneously to the right hind paw of the animals to induce the allergic edema reaction at paw. The allergy suppressing effect of the test compounds was examined with reference to the edema volumes after 30 minutes and 8 hours of the induction of the allergic reaction as the immediate and delayed allergic reactions, respectively.
The suspension of the test compounds in 0.25% Tween 80 were administered orally to rats at a dose of 10 mg/kg of body weight prior to the induction of the allergic reaction. On the other hand, only a solution of 0.25% Tween 80 was orally administered to rats as the untreated control, and 100 mg/kg of sodium chromoglycate subcutaneously or orally to rats as the positive control.
The rate of suppressing the allergic edema reaction at paw was calculated from the following equation. The rates of suppressing the immediate and slow allergic edema reaction by the present compounds are shown in the following table. Suppression rate of the allergic edema reaction at paw
