Novel pharmaceutical compositions useful as a mucolytic agent in an animal body suffering from lung congestion comprising a benzene carbothioic acid, 2-aminoalkyl ester acid salt having the formula:

Description

~13~'3 The present inyention is concerned with certain benzene carbothioic acid-2~aminoalkylester acid salts useful in combatting and controlling mucus build-up in an animal exhibiting lung congestion and compositions for use as mucolytic agents.
This application is divided from applicant's co-pending application Serial No. 333,424 filed on August 9, 1979 which is directed to certain novel compounds selected from a compound selected from substituted benzene and thiophenecarbothioic acid,
2-aminoalkyl ester acid salts having the formula:
ro ¦R-C-S(CH2)nNH3 ¦ X
~herein R is 2-thiophene, benzene substituted by one to three radicals which may be the same or different, selected from halogen, lower alkyl, lower alkoxy, carboxy or trifluoromethyl, X is chlorine or bromine radical, and n is 2 or 3, these novel compounds also having been found ~o exhibit mucolytic activity.
The prior art discloses synthesis of benzene carbothioic acid-2-aminoethylester hydrochloride, W. O. Foye et al, J. Pharm.
Sci. 51 (2), 168-~1 (1962) but there is no disclosure of mucolytic activity. Substitution on benzene has not been disclosed. The prior art discloses certain mucolytic agents such as N-acetyl-cysteine having a free sulfhydryl group, which group compounds of the present invention do not have. A. L. Sheffner, Ann. N.Y.
Acad. Sci. 106, 298-310 (1963) established the use of gastric mucin mucoprotein as a test media in development of N-acetyl-L-cysteine as a mucolytic agent in the treatment of lung disease.
According to the present invention there is provided - 1 - ~ ., :. ~- ; : - : . :- . - , : ~ , ,, . -~3~ 7~3 a pharmaceutical compos~tion useful as a mucolytic agent in an animal body sufferin~ from lung congestion which comprises a pharmaceutically active amount of a compound of the formula l _ _ IR-C-S(CH2)nNH3 wherein; R is benzene, X is chlorine or bromine radical, and n is 2 or 3, which is in admixture with a pharmaceutically accept-able diluent or carrier.
The compositions have mucolytic activity and are useful in dissolving and diluting mucus in warm-blooded animals exhibiting or suffering from lung congestion.
The present invention, together with those novel com-pounds of the aforementioned application Serial No. 333,424, will now be further described.

Formula I
wherein; R is 2-thiophene, benzene or benzene substituted by one to three radicals which are selected from halogen lower-alkyl, lower-alkoxy, carboxy or trifluoromethyl and may be the same or ~0 different and in various positions relative to one another on the ring. X is a chlorine or bromine radical and n is 2 or 3, have been shown by a modification of the method of S. J. Carne et al, ~:~l3~

J. Phys. 242, 116 (1~74) as described he~einbelow ~hown to have mucolytic activity in antmals.
Compounds for which mucolytic activity was found to be of the same order of magnitude as N-acetyl-L-cysteine on rat stomach mucus are the preferred compounds ~hich are:
1) Benzenecarbothioic acid, 2-aminoethyl ester, monohydro-chloride, 2) 4-Chlorobenzenecarbothioic acid, 2-aminoethyl ester, monohydrochloride,
3) 4-Methylbenzenecarbothioic acid, 2-aminoethyl ester, monohydrochloride,
4) 4-Methoxybenzenecarbothioic acid, 2-aminoethyl ester, monohydrochloride,
5) 2-Thiophenecarbothioic acid, 2-aminoethyl ester, monohydro-chloride.
The method used to establish mucolytic activity in the compounds o formula I is as follows.
Female Sprague-Dawley (Charles River Labs) 120-180 g rats are fasted 16 hours on wire, housed two animals per cage.
~0 To minimize coprophogia, the lights are left on during the fast.
Two cc of water are given orally to each rat to minimi~e internal debris. Thirty minutes later the rats are sacrificed by cervical dislocation. The stomachs are removed, trimmed of excess tissue and the epithelial portion discarded. The glandular portion is cut sufficiently along the greater and lesser curvature to cause eversion of the stomach be~ore placing it in the drug solution.

After drug treatment the stomachs are placed in 10 cc Alcian blue solution (Solution 1) for 90 minutes where the dye complexes with the stomach mucus.
After two successive lO~minute washes in 10 cc of 0.25 M. sucrose solution (Solution 2), the stomachs are placed in 10 cc 0.5 MgC12 solution (Solution 3) for one hour to remove the complexed dye.
The MgC12 supernatant is shaken with 10 cc diethyl ether in a 60 cc separatory ~unnel to remove lipids. The aqueous phase is drained into a Spectronic 20 tube and the percent transmission is read at 605 m,u in a Spectronic 20 spectrophotometer. The per-cent transmission is converted to ~g/ml of Alcian Blue from a standard curve. (P. Whiteman, Biochem. J. 131, 351-57 (1973).
Each drug or drug vehicle (control) is tested on three stomachs.
Mean differences between treated and control values are expressed as percentages.
