International application WO 94/28902 discloses their use for the treatment of impotence.

The present inventors have recently disclosed a series of pyrazolo[4,3- ]pyrimidin-7-one derivatives as PDE V inhibitors (Appln. No. KR

98-60436 and KR 99-7580). Herein a new series of pyrrolo[4,3-< ]pyrimidin-7-one derivatives are prepared as PDE V inhibitors. However, none of the compounds of this invention are specifically disclosed.

SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION

In another aspect, this invention provides processes for the preparation of compounds of the formula (1) or pharmaceutically acceptable salts thereof. Compounds of the formula (1) may be prepared from compounds of the formula (2), (3) or (4):

(2): X = S0₂Y (3): X = NB, (4): X = CN~

wherein R¹, R², R³ and R⁴ are as previously defined, and X represents sulfonyl halide, cyano or amino group, and Y represents a halogen atom, preferably a chloro atom. The coupling reaction of compounds of the formula (2) with a compound of the formula (5) (wherein R⁶ and R⁷ are as previously defined) is generally carried out at 0 °C to room temperature for 1-24 hours in a suitable solvent such as a C -C₃ alkanol,' dichloromethane, DMF, or water using an excess amount of (5) or in the presence of an organic tertiary amine, preferably triethylamine to scavenge the acid by-product. For compounds of the formula (1) wherein R⁹ is C,-C₆ alkyl substituted with C=NR^I3(NR¹⁴R¹⁵), a cyano group in the precursor compound may be transformed into the amidine functionality. The reaction can be affected by treating a cyano compound with saturated HCl gas in an anhydrous alcohol such as methanol and ethanol, at -20 ° to 0 °C, and the subsequent reaction of the resulting alkyl imidate intermediate with an appropriate amine at 0 °C to room temperature.

The reaction of amine compounds of the formula (3) with a compound of the formula (6), (7) or (8):

(6) (O (8) (wherein R⁸ is as previously defined, and Y represents a halogen atom, preferably a chloro atom) is conveniently carried out at 0 °C to room temperature for 1-24 hours in an inert anhydrous solvent such as dichloromethane or THF using an excess amount of (6), (7) or (8), in the presence of an organic tertiary amine, preferably triethylamine to scavenge the acid by-product. The sulfonyl halide of the formula (6), the carboxylic acid anhydride of the formula (7) and the acyl halide of the formula (8) are either commercially available or readily obtainable by conventional synthetic procedures.

The cyano compounds of the formula (4) can be effectively converted to the corresponding tetrazole derivatives by reacting with NaN₃ in the presence of 77-Bu₃SnCl as a Lewis acid at refluxing temperature in an anhydrous hydrocarbon solvent such as toluene.

Compounds of the formula (2), (3) and (4) may be prepared from compounds of the formula (9), (10) and (11), respectively:

(wherein R i 1 , τ R>2 , R D3 a _n„ndA R D are as previously defined, and X represents hydrogen, nitro or bromide group) by adopting precedent procedures.

Compounds of the formula (2) may be prepared from compounds of the formula (9) by using known methods for the introduction of a sulfonyl halide group into an aromatic ring, for example, when halide represents a chloro atom, by the action of chlorosulfonic acid at 0 °C to room temperature for 3-24 hours without any solvent.

The amines of the formula (3) can be readily obtained by reduction of the corresponding nitro compounds of the formula (10) using well-known methods such as catalytic hydrogenation in an alcoholic solvent, or tin(II) chloride reduction, and so on.

The cyano compounds of the formula (4) may be readily prepared from the bromide compounds of the formula (11) by displacement of the bromide with CuCN at 150-200 °C in a high boiling solvent such as l-methyl-2-pyrrolidinone.

Compounds of the formula (9), (10) and (11) may be prepared from compounds of the formula (12), (13) and (14), respectively:

(wherein R¹, R², R³ and R⁴ are as previously defined, and X represents hydrogen, nitro or bromide group) by the application of known cyclization methods for pyrimidinone ring formation.

A cyclization reaction is generally carried out by heating at an elevated temperature, for example 50-150 °C, in the presence of an acid or a base in a suitable solvent such as an aqueous C,-C₄ alkanol, water, a halogenated hydrocarbon, or acetonitrile. Thus, for example, the cyclization may be affected by treatment of a compound of the formulae (12)-(14) with an inorganic or organic base such as sodium hydroxide, potassium carbonate or potassium tert-butoxide, in an alcoholic aqueous medium, preferably potassium tert-butoxide in tert-butanol at 60 °C to reflux temperature.

For compounds of the formula (9) (wherein R¹, R³ and R⁴ are as previously defined, and R² is halide), the introduction of a halide atom to compounds of the formula (12) is carried out prior to subsequent cyclization. Halogenations may be affected by applying appropriate conditions for each halide, for example, N-chlorosuccinimide (NCS) in a halogenated solvent such as CH₂C1₂ at -10 °C to room temperature for chlorination, bromine in acetic acid in the presence of sodium acetate at room temperature for bromination, and iodine along with mercuric oxide (HgO) in a hydrocarbon solvent such as benzene at 0 °C to room temperature for iodination.

Compounds of the formulae (12)-(14) may be prepared from compounds of the formula (15) and (16), (17) or (18), respectively:

(15) Y = OH or halide

wherein R¹, R², R³ and R⁴ are as previously defined, X represents hydrogen, nitro or bromide group and Y represents a hydroxyl group or a halogen atom, preferably a chloro atom.

The reaction is generally carried out by first converting a carboxylic acid of the formulae (16)-(18) (Y = OH) to the corresponding acyl chloride using excess amounts of well-known reagents in the literature, preferably thionyl chloride or oxalyl chloride, in the presence of an inert solvent such as dichloromethane or benzene, at room temperature to reflux temperature. The coupling reaction with a compound of the formula (15) is generally affected by using an excess of the resulting acyl chloride (16)-(18) (Y = Cl) in the presence of an excess of an organic tertiary amine such as triethylamine to act as scavenger for the acid by-product (HY), optionally in the presence of a catalyst such as 4-dimethylaminopyridine (DMAP), in an inert anliydrous solvent such as dichloromethane at 0 °C to room temperature for 2-6 hours. The starting materials of the formulae (16)-(18) (Y = OH) are either commercially available or readily obtainable from the compound of the formula (16) by the methods known in the literature. For example, the nitro compounds of the formula (17) can be efficiently prepared from compounds of the formula (16) by using known methods for the nitration of an aromatic ring, and the reaction is generally carried out using sodium nitrite or fuming nitric acid under a strongly acidic medium such as concentrated sulfuric acid or trifluoroacetic acid, preferably trifluoroacetic acid, at -10 °C to room temperature for 1-24 hours.

Compounds of the formula (15) may be prepared from compounds of the formula (20) in two steps:

(19) (20)

(wherein R¹, R² and R³ are as previously defined) by converting compounds of the formula (20) into the corresponding amide compounds of the formula (19) and the subsequent cyclization of compounds of the formula (19) for pyrrole ring formation. Amide formation may be affected by using ammonia either in an alcoholic solvent or water, preferably water, at room temperature to 100 °C, in the presence or absence of sodium cyanide as a catalyst.

A cyclization reaction is effectively carried out by heating at an elevated temperature, for example 50-150 °C, in the presence of a base in a suitable solvent such as aqueous C,-C₄ alkanol or acetonitrile. Thus, for example, the cyclization may be affected by treatment of a compound of the formula (20) with an alkoxide base such as sodium ethoxide or potassium tert-butoxide, in an alcoholic medium, preferably sodium ethoxide in ethanol at 60 °C. Compounds of the formula (20) may be prepared from compounds of the formula

(21) and (22):

(21) . (22) wherein R', R² and R³ are as previously defined.

A condensation reaction between compounds of the fonnula (21) and (22) is generally performed in a mixture of an alcohol and water, preferably methanol alone, in the presence of a weak base such as sodium acetate, at room temperature for 1-3 days. Compounds of the formula (21) are either commercially available or readily obtainable from glycine using well-documented synthetic methods.

Compounds of the formula (22) may be prepared from compounds of the formula

(23) and (24):

O R^CN _R2Λ_0R

(23) (24)

wherein R² and R³ are as previously defined, and R is C,-C₃ alkyl.

Acylation reaction of compounds of the formula (23) is efficiently carried out by trapping the anionic species of compounds of the formula (23) with compounds of the formula (24) at -78 °C to room temperature. Generation of the anionic intermediate from compounds of the formula (23) may be affected by the action of a strong amide base such as sodium amide, alkali metal hexamethyldisilazide (Li, Na, or KHMDS) or lithium diisopropylamide (LDA), preferably LDA, in an anhydrous etheral solvent such as tetrahydrofuran, at low temperature, ranging from -78 ° to 0 °C. Compounds of the formula (1) may be also prepared by cyclizing compounds of the formula (25):

wherein R¹, R², R³ and R⁴ are as previously defined, and R¹⁶ is a group R⁵ as hereinbefore defined or a precursor to a group R⁵.

A cyclization reaction is generally carried out by heating at an elevated temperature, for example 50-150 °C, in the presence of an acid or a base in a suitable solvent such as an aqueous C,-C₄ alkanol, water, a halogenated hydrocarbon, or acetonitrile. Thus, for example, the cyclization may be affected by treatment of a compound of the formula (25) with an inorganic or organic base such as sodium hydroxide, potassium carbonate or potassium tert-butoxide, in an aqueous alcoholic medium. Examples of R'⁶ being a precursor to a group R⁵ are when R⁵ contains a carboxylic acid since an ester group of the formula (25) can be converted to the corresponding carboxylic acid under the basic cyclization condition.

Compounds of the formula (25) may be prepared from compounds of the formula (15) and (26):

(26) (¹⁵) Y = OH or halide

wherein R¹, R², R³, R⁴ and R¹⁶ are as previously defined, and Y represents a hydroxyl group or a halogen atom, preferably a chloro atom.

The reaction is generally carried out by first converting a carboxylic acid of the formula (26) (Y = OH) to the corresponding acyl chloride using excess amounts of well-known reagents in the literature, preferably thionyl chloride or oxalyl chloride, in the presence or absence of an inert solvent such as dichloromethane or benzene, at room temperature to reflux temperature. The coupling reaction with a compound of the formula (15) is generally affected by using an excess of the resulting acyl chloride (26) (Y = Cl) in the presence of an excess of an organic tertiary amine such as triethylamine to act as scavenger for the acid by-product (HY), optionally in the presence of a catalyst such as 4-dimethylaminopyridine (DMAP), in an inert anliydrous solvent such as dichloromethane at 0 °C to room temperature for 2-6 hours. The starting materials of the formula (26) (Y = OH) are readily obtainable from compound of the formula (16) (X = H, Y = OH) by the methods known in the literature.

Amines of the formula (5), when not commercially available, can be prepared by conventional synthetic procedures, in accordance with literature precedents, from readily accessible starting materials using standard reagents and reaction conditions.

Certain compounds of the formula (5), wherein R⁶ and R⁷ taken together with the nitrogen atom to which they are attached form a piperazinyl or homopiperazin l group substituted with R⁹ (R⁹ is as previously defined), can be synthesized readily from the compounds of the formula (27):

HN N-(CH₂)_nZ P-N N-(CH₂)_nZ P-N NH

(5) (27) (28) =°₍M Z = CF₃, halide or OH P = Protecting Group

wherein Z is a group CF₃, hydroxyl, or a halogen, preferably fluoro atom and P represents an appropriate protecting group, for example, benzyl, benzyloxycarbonyl (Cbz) or tert-butoxycarbonyl (Boc).

Removal of benzyl or benzyloxycarbonyl (Cbz) group in the compounds of the formula (27) can be performed under a hydrogenation condition using a catalytic amount of palladium on carbon in an alcoholic solvent such as methanol or ethanol, at room temperature to afford the corresponding compound of the formula (5). Cleavage of tert-butoxycarbonyl (Boc) group in the compounds of the formula (27) can be affected under the acidic conditions using aqueous HCl or trifluoroacetic acid in an aprotic solvent such as tetrahydrofuran or dichloromethane at room temperature to afford the corresponding salt of the formula (5). Starting materials of the formula (27) can be prepared from 1-benzylpiperazine or

1-tert-butoxycarbonylhomepiperazine of the formula (28) by direct N-alkylation with an appropriate alkyl halide containing a CF₃, hydroxyl or halogen group.

Another compounds of the formula (5), wherein R⁶ and R⁷ taken together with the nitrogen atom to which they are attached form a piperazinyl or piperidino group substituted with R⁹ (R⁹ is as previously defined and is substituted with a lH-(tetrazol-5-yl) group), can be synthesized readily from the compounds of the formula (29):

(5) (29)

X = CH, N P = Protecting Group n = 0-4

wherein X is a group methine or nitrogen atom and P represents an appropriate protecting group, for example, preferably tert-butoxycarbonyl (Boc).

Removal of tert-butoxycarbonyl (Boc) and triphenylmethyl (Trityl) groups in the compounds of the formula (29) can be affected simultaneously under the acidic conditions using aqueous HCl or trifluoroacetic acid in an aprotic solvent such as tetrahydrofuran at room temperatm-e, in the presence of excess lH-tetrazole as a carbocation scavenger, to afford the corresponding salt of the formula (5).

Compounds of the formula (29) can be prepared from the compounds of the formula (30):

(30) (31) (32)

X = CH, N P = Protecting Group n = 0-4 wherein X and P are as previously defined.

Conversion of the cyano group of the formula (30) is generally affected by using tributyltin chloride and sodium azide in a hydrocarbon solvent, preferably toluene, at refluxing temperature to afford corresponding tetrazole compounds of the formula (29). Compounds of the formula (30) are readily prepared either from 1-tert-butoxycarbonylpiperazine of the formula (31) by direct N-alkylation with an appropriate alkyl halide containing a cyano group, or by conversion of the hydroxyl functionality of the formula (32) to a cyano group, using well-documented procedures. Starting materials of the formula (31) and (32) are either commercially available or readily accessible by conventional synthetic procedures in accordance with literature precedents.

The resulting compounds of this invention represented by the formula (l)-(5), (9)-(15) and (19)-(22), can be separated and purified by appropriate conventional methods such as column chromatography and recrystallization. Compounds of the invention may be administered by any suitable route, for example by oral, buccal, sub-lingual, rectal, vaginal, nasal, topical or parenteral (including intravenous, intramuscular, subcutaneous and intracoronary) administration.

For administration to man in the curative or prophylactic treatment of the disorders identified above, oral, buccal or sub-lingual dosages of a compound of the formula (1) will generally be in the range of from 0. 1-400 mg daily for an average adult patient (70 Kg). Thus for a typical adult patient, individual tablets or capsules contain from 0. 05-200 mg of active compound, in a suitable pharmaceutically acceptable vehicle or carrier, for administration in single or multiple doses, once or several times per day. Dosages for parenteral administration will typically be within the range of from 0. 01-100 mg per single dose as required. In practice the physician will determine the actual dosing regimen which will be most suitable for an individual patient and it will vary with the age, weight and response of the particular patient. The above dosages are exemplary of the average case but there can be . individual instances in which higher or lower dosage ranges may be merited, and such are within the scope of this invention.

For human use, a compound of the formula (1) can be administered alone, but will generally be administered in admixture with a pharmaceutical carrier selected with regard to the intended route of administration and standard pharmaceutical practice. For example, the compound may be administered orally, buccally or sublingually, in the form of tablets containing excipients such as starch or lactose, or in capsules or ovules either alone or in admixture with excipients, or in the form of elixirs or suspensions containing flavouring or colouring agents. Such liquid preparations may be prepared with pharmaceutically acceptable additives such as suspending agent (e. g. methylcellulose, a semi-synthetic glyceride such as witepsol or mixtures of glycerides such as a mixture of apricot kernel oil and PEG-6 esters or mixtures of PEG-8 and caprylic/capric glycerides). A compound may also be injected parenterally, for example intravenously, intramuscularly, subcutaneously oiintracoronarily.

Example 134: Biological activity The cyclic nucleotide PDE V activity was determined using PDE SPA assay kit

(Amersham Pharmacia biotech, UK). Each reaction mixture (100 μL total volume) consisted of the column elute containing PDE V (10 μL), [³H]-cGMP (5 μCi/mL), bovine serum albumin (0. 5 mg/mL), and MgCl₂(5 mM) in Tris-HCl buffer (15 mM, pH 7. 5). The reactions were initiated by the addition of PDE V and the samples were incubated at 30 °C for 30 min, after which the reaction was stopped by the addition of 50 μL of SPA beads. The reaction tube was then settled for 20 min and was counted on the scintillation counter (Tri-carb 1500, Packard, USA). For the inhibition study of PDE V activity, the sildenafil and test compounds were dissolved in dimethyl sulfoxide (DMSO) and was diluted with distilled water. The final concentration of DMSO was less than 0. 2% (v/v). All the inhibition experiments were conducted under the conditions where the level of cGMP hydrolysis did not exceed 15%, and the product formation increased linearly with time and the amount of enzyme.

The following Table illustrates the in vitro activities for a range of the compounds of the invention as inhibitors of cGMP PDE V.
