Abstract

ABSTRACT OF THE DISCLOSURE
Nonionic triiodobenzoyl amino acyl derivatives of polyhydroxy amines which are useful as nonionic X-ray contrast agents.

Description

32~

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION
-.
This invention relates to certain N-triiodo-benzoylaminoacyl polyhydroxic amines that are useful ~ , as nonionic X-ray contrast agents. It is also re-lated to the radiological compositions and to the use of such compositions.
. . .
DESCRIPTION OF THE_PRIOR ART ~, .. - , ; -`; More recently, Almen et al (U. S. Patent No.
3,701,771, dated October 31, 1972) have disclosed certain nonionic N-(2,4,6-triiodobenzoyl)-sugar amines which are stated to be useful as X-ray con-trast agents in the cerebrospinal cavities. In these - compounds, a polyhydroxyalkyl chain is coupled to ~n iodoaromatic moiety in order to impart water . 15 solubility without resorting to ionic species.

5~

Certain of the nonionic compounds discLosed in this patent were reported to be highly soluble in water while others were reported to have a medium or low water solubility.

An older known X-ray contrast agent is 2-iodohippuric acid sodium salt. This compound is referred to in Medical Radiography and Photography, Volume 40, Supplement 1964.

Presently, no triiodohippuric acids or derivatives are used as X-ray contrast agents.
However, several ionic compounds based on triiodo-hippuric acid have been reported. In Offenlegungs-schrift 2,207,950, February 16, 1972, and in European Journal of Medicinal Chemistry - Chimica Therapeutica, 10, 84, 1975, compounds of the general structure 1 and 2 are reported:

CONH-alkyl CO2H

Acyl - Hrl~GO-A- OH Acyl -HN ~\¢~CO -A- NH - alky l where A = aminoacyl residue.

Others are disclosed in British 867,880 and H. Suter and H. Zutter, Helv. Chim. Acta., Volume 54, Page 2551, (1971).

~S~2~

In certain instances nonionic X-ray con-trast media have been found to be less toxic than their ionic counterparts. This is believed to be due at least in part to the fact that nonionic compounds, being substantially nonionized in aqueo~ls solution, create less of an osmotic imbalance than do ionic compounds, i e., nonionic X-ray contrast media contribute only one molecular specles per iodinated moiety as compared to ionic X-ray con-trast media which contribute two or more speciesper iodinated moiety.
, , An interest has developed, therefore, in the synthesis of water-soluble nonionic X-ray con-trast media possessing low toxicity and high iodine content for use in the X-ray visualization of areas of the body such as, for example, the cardiovascular and central nervous system where high concentrations of contrast media are required to provide sufficient opacity.

The substituents in the 3- and 5-positions of the ring, namely X and Y, are nonionizing functions compatible with low toxicity and/or solubility in the 2,4,6-triiodophenyl configuration.
As is known by those skilled in the art, the term "detoxifying and/or solubilizing groups" has been-used as a generic designation for a substantial number of functional groups whose occurrence in the meta-position(s) in a 2,4,6-triiodinated moiety has come to be associated with compounds which exhibit a relatively low toxicity and/or a relatively high water solubility (cf. G. B. Hoey, P. E. Wiegert and R. D. Rands, Jr., "Organic Iodine Compounds as X-Ray Contrast Media:", in International Encyclopeclia of PharmcLcology and The_apelltlcs, Section 76, "Radiocontrast Agents", P. K. Knoefel, Section Editor, Pergamon Press: Vol. l, pp. 23 -40, 5~ - 73 (1971) ). While the use of such terminology originated in connection with 2,~,6-triiodobenzoic acid derivatives possessing relatively low toxicity and/or relatively high water solubility, the results set forth herein are consistent with the view that substantially the same nonionizing functions are also compatible with low toxicity and/or water solubility in the triiodinated moiety of the nonionic compounds of the present invention.

~ mong the nonionizing functions which may constitute X and Y may be mentioned the following:
lower alkoxy, e.g., methoxy and ethoxy; hydroxy-(lower alkoxy), e.g., 2-hydroxy-ethoxy; lower alkoxy-(lower alkoxy), e.g., methoxy-ethoxy and ~-ethoxy-propoxy; lower acylamino, e.g., acetamido and propionamido; lower acylamino (lower alkyl), e.g., acetamidomethyl and acetamidoethyl; lower acylamino-(lower acylamino), e.g., aceturamido;
hydroxy-lower acylamino, e.g., hydroxyacetamido and hydroxypropionamido; N-(lower alkyl)-lower acylamino, e.g., N-methylacetamido and N-methyl-propionamido; lower alkylsulfonamido, e.g., methyl-sulfonamido and ethylsulfonamido; N-(lower alkyl)-lower alkylsulfonamido, e,g., N-methyl-ethylsulfon-amido and N-ethyl-methylsul~onamido; 3,3-bis (lower alkyl)-ureido, e.g., 3,3-dimethylureido and 3-methyl-3-ethylureido; lower perfluoroacyl-amino, e.g., perfluoroacetamido and perfluoro-propionamido; carbamyl; N-(lower alkyl) carbamyl, e.g., N-methylcarbamyl and N-ethylcarbamyl; N-(hydroxy lower alkyl) carbamyl, e.g., N-(2-hydroxy-ethyl) carbamyl and N-(3-hydroxypropyl) carbamyl;
N-(polyhydroxy lower alkyl) carbamyl, e.g., N-(2,3.dihydroxypropyl~ carbamyl and N-(2,3,~-tri-hydroxybutyl) carbamyl, N,N-di-(lower alkyl) carbamyl, e.g., N,N-dimethylcarbamyl and N,N-diethylcarbamyl;
NlN-bi$-(hydroxy lower alkyl) carbamyl, e.g., N,N-bis-(2-hydroxyethyl) carbamyl; N,N-bis-(polyhydroxy-lower alkyl) carbamyl, e.g., N,N-bis-(2,3-dihydroxy-propyl) carbamyl; lower al~oxy-(lower acylamino~, e.g., methoxy-acetamido and ethoxy-acetamido; lower alkoxy-alkoxy-(lower acylamino), e.g., methoxyethoxy-acetamido; hydroxy and hydroxy-lower alkyl, e.g., hydroxymethyl and hydroxyethyl. As used above, the term "lower" (e.g., lower alkyl and lower alkoxy) means that the function contains between 1 and 8 carbon atoms. Those skilled in the art will recognize that functions of the abo-ve type other than those specifically enumerated may also con-stitute X and Y.

In another aspect of the invention, one of X and Y may be constituted by hydrogen or one of the functions enumerated above and the other of X
and Y may be constituted by the function -CO- A - N -Z wherein A, R and Z have the same significance as previously described.

Isomeric mixtures of the compounds of this invention may be used as X-ray contrast agents. Generally, the amount of each isomer contained in the mixture may vary over a wide range provided that the mixture functions as a satisfactory X-ray contrast agent.
':
A further feature of the present invention is a radiological composition containing at least one nonionic compound according to the invention as an X-ray contrast agent together with a pharma-ceutically acceptable vehicle.

Vehicles include those that are suitable for injection such as aqueous buffer solutions, sterile water for injection, physiological saline, and balanced ionic solutions containing chloride and/or bicarbonate salts of normal blood plasma cations such as Ca, Na, K and Mg.
.~

~5i8'~

The concentration of one of the compounds of this invention in the pharmaceutically acceptable vehicle, for example, an aqueous medium, varies with the particular field of use. A sufficient amount is present to provide satisfactory X-ray visual-ization. For example, when using aqueous solutions lower concentrations are required for ventriculo-graphy, myelography and radiculography than for angiocardiography. The preferred concentration and dosage ranges of the compounds in aqueous solutions for these three applications are as follows:
Conce~trationDose mg I/ml ml.
lS Myelography 150 - 300 5-12 Cardiovascular 300 - 580 5-100 Urography 140 - 400 25-300 The radiological composition is administered so that the contrast agent remains in the system for about 2 to 3 hours, although both shorter and longer residence periods are normally acceptable. The com-pounds of this invention may thus be formulated for cerebrospinal visualization conveniently in vials or ampoules containing 5 to 15 ml. of an aqueous solution thereof, but for vascular visualization larger quantities, e.g., 10 to 500 ml. will be given.
They may also be formulated and lyophilized to a powder.

The radiological compositions may be used in the usual way in X-ray procedures. For example in the case of cardiovascular visualization, a sufficient amount of the radiological composition to provide adequate visualization is injected into the cardio-vascular system and then the cardiovascular agent is scanned with a suitable machine, for example a fluoroscope.

The new compounds according to the invention can be prepared in any convenient way.

Formula II compounds wherein one of the R3 or R4 groups is-CON(Rl)CH(R2)C02H may be pre-pared by the method described in "Practical Organlc .
' Chemistry," A. I. Vogel, pp. 436-437, John Wiley & Sons Inc., New York, New York (1966). They are converted to Formula III compounds by cata~ytic reduction with a noble metal catalyst such as palladium or platinum in a suitable solvent such as methanol, ethanol, or water. When using water as the solvent, Formula II
compounds are converted to an alkali metal salt with an alkalimetal hydroxide. Typically the ratio of solvent to Formula II compound or an alkali metal salt thereof is from about 1:1 to 500:1. The re-action proceeds at room temperature and is complete in about two hours, however, the temperat~re may range from 10 to ~0 C. and the time for reduction may range from 1 to 4 hours. Any suitable pressure may be used, e.g., 15 to lO0 psi. Generally, sufficient catalyst is employed to reduce the Formula II compound or alkalimetal salt thereof.
Typically, about 0.01 to 1 part by weight of catalyst is used for each part by weight of Formula II compound or salt thereof. After completion of the reaction the reaction mixture is filtered to : remove the catalyst and is then used to prepare Formula IV compounds.

. Formula IV compounds are prepared by ~ 25 iodinating Formula III compounds. First the solution :` containing a Formula III compound is acidified zl~

to pH 1 with a suitable acid such as hydrochloric.
Initially the temperature is maintained at 40 to 50 C., after addition of the iodinating agent, it is permitted to rise to 50 to 80 C. and heating is continued until iodination is complete, usually 3 to 6 hours. Generally, 3 to 4 molar equivalents of the iodinating agent, e.g., iodine monochloride is used for each mole of Formula III compounds. The iodinated compounds are recovered by filtration and purified.

Alternatively, Formula IV compounds can be prepared from 5-nitroisophthalic acid using the pro-cedure described in German Offen. 2,207,950.

Alternatively, Formula IV compounds derived from 3,5-dinitrobenzoic acid can be prepared using the same genera~ reduction and iodination conditions mentioned above with respect to Formula II compounds wherein one of R3 or R4 is - CO N(Rl)CH(R2)C02H.
" ~:
Formula IV compounds where one of the ` ~groups is an acyl amino may be alkylated with an 20 alkylating agent in a suitable solvent such as water, ~ -methanol or ethanol and with sufficient base~ ~enerally
4 to 6 molar equivalents per mole of Formula IV
compound. Any suitable base such as sodium hy-hydroxide, sodium ethoxide or sodium methoxide may be used.
Suitable alkylating agents include alkyl halides, :

~V~5~Z~
such as methyl iodide, ethyl chloride, prop~l bro~lide etc., or dialkyl sulfates such as dimethyl sulEate or diethyl sulfate. The alkylation proceeds at 50 C.
and is completed normally in about 1 to 5 hours.
However, the temperature may range from 40 to 60 C.
The product is isolated in the usual manner, for example, by dissolving in aqueous sodium hydro~ide and precipitating with hydrochloric acid.

Formula IV compounds wherein X is an amino group may also be acylated with an acyl anhydride.
Typically about 4 to 6 weights of acyl anhydride ; and 0.01 to 1 weight of sulfuric acid is used for each weight of Formula IV compound. The reaction ; ;?
temperature may vary from 20 to 60 C., typically 30 C. The reaction is complete in 5 to 20 hours usually about 8 hours. The product is recovered in the usual manner by filtration.
' Formula Y compounds are prepared by esterifying Formula IV compounds with the appropriate alcohol.
Usually a mineral acid such as sulfuric is used as a catalyst in catalytic amounts, i.e., 1% by weight of the Formula IV compound present Typically about lO parts by weight of the alcohol is used for each part by weight of the Formula IV compound. The Formula V compounds are isolated in the usual manner, i.e., by cooling and collecting the crystallized solids.

Formula I compounds are then prepared by re-fluxing the Formula V compound in a suitable solvent, e.g., methanol, if necessary and a polyhydroxyamine.
Typically 1 to 3 parts by weight of the polyhydroxy-amine and 5 to 7 parts by weight of the solvent areutilized for each part by weight of the Formula V com-pound. The polyhydroxyamine may also act as a solvent, and then more would be used. Typically 6 to 10 parts by weight per part by weight of Formula V compound is used. Formula I compounds may be recovered in any suitahle manner.

Results are given in Tahle I below.

Intravenous toxicity study in mice Swiss albino mice with weights ranging from 18 to 25 grams were used for the performance of the test.
Three to four groups of mice with sexes equally rep-resented in each group received single measured doses (mg. of contrast media/kg of body weight) injected into a lateral tail vein at a rate of 1 ml./min.

Following injection, the animals were observed for immediate pharmacological and toxicological mani-festations. Mortalities were recorded during the first four hours then daily Eor seven days. After seven days, surviving animals were sacrificed and ~ necropsies performed .~ '.'.
- 20 Calculation of the seven-day LD50 value was carried out according to the method of Litchfield and Wilcoxon (J. Pharmacol. Exp. Ther. 96, 99 - 113, 19~9) ~5~

Intracerebral toxicity study in mice I Swiss albino mice of either sex, weighing 18 to 23 ¦ grams were used for this test according to the ¦ method of Haley (Brit. J. Pharmacol. 12, 12 - lS
1957). At each dose level, the contrast medium was injected as ~ollows. The mouse was grasped firmly by the loose skin behind the head. After the skin was pulled taut, a 3/8 inch 27 gauge needle attached to a 0.25 ml. syringe was inserted per-pendicularly through the skull into the brainat a point 2 mm. from either side of the mid line on a line drawn through the anterior base on the ears. A dose of 0.05 ml. (0.1 ml. maximum) of various concentrations of the contrast medium was injected.

Following the injection, the animals were observed for pharmacological and toxicological manifestations.
Mortalities were recorded during the first four hours, then daily for two days. Surviving animals were sacrificed 48 hours after injection and the LD50 value was calculated according to the method of Litchfield and Wilcoxon (J. Pharmacol. Exp.
Ther. 96, 99 - 113, 1949).

Intracisternal toxicity study i-n rats The method of intxacisternal administration of con-trast media in rats was based on the procedure out- ~' lined by Melartin, et al. (Investigative Radiology, Jan. - Feb. 13, 12, 1970). Sprague Dawley rats were -~
anesthetized with ether and positioned on a slanted stand. Following clipping of their hair on the nuchal and cervical area, a small midline incision was made in the skin in the occipital area to facilitate penetration of a 27 gauge needle into the cisterna magna. Aspiration of cerebrospinal fluid indicated that the cisterna magna had been accurately located.
Single measured doses of the contrast medium were then injected.

Following injection, the animals were individually housed and observed for pharmacological and toxicological manifestations. Mortalities were recorded during the first four hours, then daily for seven days. Calculation of the LD50 value was carried out according to the method of Litchfield and Wilcoxon (J. Pharmacol. Exp. Ther. 96, 99 -113, 1949) z~
