Abstract

Abstract of the Disclosure 8-Thiomethylergolines, which are useful as pro-lactin inhibitors, are described hereinO These compounds are prepared by reacting via nucleophilic displacement an ester of a D-6-methyl-8-hydroxymethylergoline or of a 9,10-didehydroergoline with salts of thio-phenol, a thioalkanoic acid, or an alkylthiol.

Description

Compounds based on the ergoline ring system, formula (I), --H-~' have a surprising variety of pharmaceutical activities. For example, lysergic and isolysergic acid are 8-carboxy-6-methyl-~9-ergolines (9,10-didehydroergolines). The amides of lysergic acid, many of which have valuable and unique pharma-cologic properties, include the naturally occurring oxytocic alkaloids - ergocornine, ergokryptine, ergonovine, ergo-; cristine, ergosine, ergotamine etc. - and-synthetia oxytocics such as methergine as well as the synthetic hallucinogen---lysergic acid diethylamide or LSD. The amides of 6-methyl-8-carboxyergoline, known generically as dihydroergot alkaloids, are oxytocic agents of lower potency and also lower toxicity than the ergot alkaloids themselves. Ergotamine, a ~9-ergo-line, has been used in the treatment o~ migraine and recently both ergocornine and 2-bromo-a-ergokryptine have been shown to be inhibitors of prolactin and of dimethylbenzan~hracene (DMBA)-induced tumors in rats, accordin~ to Nagasawa and Meites, Proc. Soc. ExE~tl. Biol. Med. 135, 469 (1970~ and to Heuson et al., Europ. J. Cancer, 353 (1970). (See also U.S.
Patents 3,752,8B8 and 3,752,81~).
D-6-methyl-8-cyanomethylergoline was first pre-~ .

pared by Semonsky and co-workers, Coll, Czech. Chem. Commun., 33, 577 (1968), and its use in preventing pregnancy in rats was published by the Same group in Nature, 221, 666 (1969).
(See also U.S. Patent 3,732,231) The compound was thought to interfere with the secretion of hypophysial leuteotropic hormone and the hypophysial gonadotropins. It was also sug-gested that the compound inhibited the secretion of pro-lactin. [See Seda et al., Reprod. Fert., 24, 263 (1971) and Mantle and Finn, id. 441)]. Semonsky and co-workers C _ , Czech. Chem. Comm., 36, 220 (1971), described the prep-_ aration of D-6-methyl-8-ergolinylacetamide, a compound which is stated to have anti-fertility and anti-lactating effects on rats. The effect of these compounds in neoplastic disease is unknown. Ergolines with a thiomethyl substituent or a derivative thereof have not previously been prepared.
This invention provides 8-thiomethylergolines of the formula:

The term alk in the above formula, comprehending as it does Cl-C3 alkyl groups, includes the following radicals:
methyl, ethyl, _-propyl and isopropyl. In formula tII), when the ~9,10 bond is saturated, the compounds are generically denominated as D-6-methyl-8-thiométhyl (or mercaptomethyl) ergolines. When the ~9,10 hond is unsaturated, the resulting compounds are known generically as D-6-methyl-8-thiomethyl or mercaptomethyl-9,10-didehydroergolines. Compounds illustrative of the scope of the above formula include the following:
D-2-chloro-6-methyl-8-propionylthiomethylergoline D-2-chloro-6-methyl-8-butyrylthiomethyl-9,10-didehydro-ergoline D-2-chloro-6-methyl-8-phenylmercaptomethyl-9,10-didehydro-ergoline D-2-bromo-6-methyl-8-phenylmercaptomethyl-9,10-didehydro-ergoline D-2-chloro-6-methyl-8-ethylmercaptomethyl-9,10-didehydro-ergoline D-6-methyl-8-n-propylmercaptomethylergoline D-6-methyl-8-isopropylmercaptomethylergoline.

wherein Rl and the dotted line are defined as before; and R2 is a methanesulfonyl or p-toluenesulfonate group, with a nucleophilic reagent of the formula - O HSR (IV) wherein R3 is C-alk, phenyl, or alk, followed by O
Il hydrolysis when R3 is C-alk and the compounds of formula ~II) wherein R is H are desired. However, compounds in which R is other than H are particularly preferred.
The compounds of this invention in which R is other than H are prepared by reacting via nucleophilic dis-placement an ester of a D-6~methyl-8-hydroxymethylergoline or of a 9,10-didehydroergoline, optionally substituted at C-2 with chlorine or bromine, with salts of thio-phenol, a thioalkanoic acid (alk-COSH) or an alkylthiol talk-SH). Esters useful as starting materials in the above synthetic procedure include the mesyl (methanesulfonyl), the ~-toluenesulfonyl (~-tosyl) and the like esters formed with the hydroxy group of 8-hydroxymethyl-6-methylergoline, 8-hydroxymethyl-6-methyl-9,10-didehydroergoline or of a 2-halo derivative of either of the ~9 compounds of formula II. These mesyloxy and p-tosyloxy derivatives are either known compounds or can be prepared from the corresponding hydroxy derivativ~s by processes available in the art. In carrying out reactions .~ ,,. I .

with thiophenol or with an alkyl thiol, the sodium salt of the mercaptan group is usually formed, using sodium methylate or sodium hydride.
The nucleophilic displacement reaction is carried out in an inert solvent such as dimethyl formamide (DMF), or dimethyl-sulfoxide (DMSO). Ordinarily, the reaction is carried out at room temperature or if desired ~y heating to a temperature in the range from room temperature to 100C. The products of the reaction are customarily isolated by standard tech-niques and purified b~ chromatography, preferably over "Florisil"*. The compounds of this invention in which R is H
are prepared by hydrolysis in base of the corresponding com-; l pound in which R is C-alk. '¦
The compounds of this invention are white crystal-line solids and form pharmaceutically acceptable salts with nontoxic acids. These pharmaceutically acceptable salts are included within the scope of ~his invention. Nontoxic acids useful in forming the salt3 of this invention include such inorganic acids as hydrochloric acid, nitric acid, phos-phoric acid, sulfuric acid, hydrobromic acid, hydriodic acid, nitrous acid, phosphorus acid and the like, as well as non-toxic organic acids including aliphatic mono and di-carboxylic acids, phenyl-substituted alkanoic acids, hydroxy alkanoic and alkandioic acids, arvmatic acids, and aliphatic and aromatic sulfonic acids. Such pharmaceutically-acceptable salts thus include sulfate, pyrosulfate, bisulfate, sulfite, bisulfite, nitrate, phosphate~ monohydrogenphosphate~

The compounds of this invention are useful as prolactin inhibitors. The inhibition of prolactin secretion by the compounds of this invention is evidenced by the fol-lowing experiment: Adult male rats of the Spraque-Dawley strain weighing about 200 g. were used. All rats were housed in an air-conditioned room with controlled lighting (lights on 6 a.m. - 8 p.m.) and fed lab chow and water ad libi~um.
In each experiment the rats were killed by de-20 capitation, and 150 ~1 aliquots of serum were assayed forprolactin. Each male rat received an intraperitoneal in-jection of 2.0 mg of reserpine in aqueous suspension 18 hours before administration of the ergoline derivative. The pur-pose of the reserpine was to keep prolactin levels uniformly elevated. The derivatives were dissolved in 10% ethanol at a concentration of 10 ~g/ml, and were injected intraperi-toneally at a standard dose of 50 ~g/kg. Each compound was administered to a group of 10 rats, and a control group of 10 intact males received an equivalent arnount of 10 percent 30 ethanol. One hour after treatment all rats were killed by ; X-4228 7 .

~ 7~ 3 decapitation, and the serum was collected and assayed for pro-lactin as previousl~ described. The results were evaluated statistically using Student's "t" test (a mathematical comparison between means) to calculate the level of significance, "p."
The difference between the prolactin level oE the treated rats and prolactin level of the control rats, divided by the prolactin level of the control rats gives the percent inhibition of prolactin secretion attributable to the com-10 pounds of this invention. The table which follows gives pro-lactin inhibition percentages for a series of compounds coming within the scope of formula (II) above. In the table, column 1 gives the name of the compound; column 2, the dose level of the compound in the prolactin inhibition test; column 3, the percent prolactin inhibition; and column 4, the level of sig-nificance.
Being prolactin inhibitors, the compounds of this invention are also potentially useful for suppressing the growth of breast adenocarcinomas in female mammals.
This invention is further illustrated by Examples 1-6 which follow.

The alkaline aqueous layer was diluted to 6 liters with water, and the diluted layer allowed to stand at room temperature.
D-6-methyl-8-mesyloxymethylergoline ormed in the above reaction slowly crystallized. The ~olution was chilled to about 0C. in order to cause more of the compound to precipi-tate. The solution was then filtered, and the filter cake recrystallized from ethanol.
