ABSTRACT

Novel pyrrole-2-acetylamino compounds of the formula

Description

77~7 ~he present invention comprises novel acylamino acids and their salts wherein the acyl group is [l-methyl-5-(4-methylbenzoyl3-lH~pyrrol-2-yl~-acetyl, having the general formula 4 below, and also amide esters of said acids having the general formula 3 below, which are used as intermediates to make the acids of general formula 4.

Tolmetin (general formula 1 below) is the generic name for the compound: [l-methyl 5 (4-methylbenzoyl)-lH-pyrrol-2-yl]-acetic acid; which can also be named as l-methyl-5-(4-methylbenzoyl)-lH-pyrrole-2-acetic acid, which has anti-inflammatory activity, and which is commercially available as tolmetin sodium dihydrate for use as a nonsteroidal, anti-inflammatory agent. Tolmetin is a safe and effective drug, but is administered at relatively large doses~

It has now been unexpectedly found that the potency of tolmetin can be substantially enhanced and the dosage re~uired substantially reduced by means of the novel compounds of the present invention having general formula 4 below, so that the tolmetin is administered in the form of its amide with an amino acid.
The particular amino acid derivatives o tolmetin are the following: glycine, alanine, methionine, glutamic acid, aspartic acid, lysine, and glutamine, and the resultant compounds of the present inventions have general formula 4 below, and may be in either optically active or racemic form. They may be administered in the form of their free acids or in the form of their pharmaceutically-acceptable salts, for example, as salts of alkali metals, preferably sodium or potassium, or alkaline earth metals, preferably calcium, or salts of organic amines, preferably 2-amino-2-(hydroxymethyl)-1,3-propanediol (tromethamine). The amino acid derivatives of tolmetin may be prepared by the following reaction scheme (A):

Compounds of type 4 may be prepared by the illustrated three-step procedures (1- >4). Tolmetin (1) is first 7~

converted to an activated derivative 12). Three different types of activated derivatives may be used, namely, the acid halide (2, X - halide), the activated ester (2, X ~
OCH2CN), or the mixed carbonic anhydride O
l2, X = O-C-O-alkyl). Preparation of acid halides has been previously described [J. R. Carson, U.S. Patent No. 3,752,826 (1973)~. The activated ester (2, X =
OCH2CNj may be prepared by reaction of a tolmetin salt with chloroacetoni~rile in a dipolar aprotic solvent (such as, for example, DMSO, DMF, acetonitrile or acetone) at o 20 to 80C. The mixed anhydrides (2, X = -o C-O-alkyl) may be prepared by reaction of a tolmetin salt (for example, triethylammonium or N-methylmorpholinium) with an alkyl chloroformate (for example, ethyl chloroformate or isobutyl chloroformate) in an iner~ apro~ic solvent (such as THF or methylene chloride) at -50 to -70C.

In the second step, amino acid esters (NH2-CH-CO2R') are acylated by the action o an activated tolmetin derivative (2) to give amide esters (3). The amino acid esters may be liberated from their corresponding salts by treatment with an organic tertiary amine such as triethylamine or an inorganic weak base such as an alkali metal bicarbonate or carbonate. Acylations of the amino acid esters using tolmetin acyl halides are carried out in the presence of a hydrogen halide acceptor such as a tertiary amine (e.g., triethylamine) in an inert aprotic solvent at 0 to 80C.
The acylation procedures using the activated esters (2, X = OCH2CN) are carried out in an iner~ aprotic solvent (for example, THF or dioxane) at elevated ~7~'7 temperature (50 to 100C), preferably in the presence of a wea~ organic acid catalyst such as acetic acid. The amino acid esters are used in excess. The acylation reactions utilizing the mixed anhydride O
reagents (2, X = -O-l-O-alkyl) are carried out in inert aprotic solvents, preferably in the same solution in which the reagent i5 prepared. The temperature range for carry-ing out acylations using mixed anhydrides is 0 to -75C.
When the amino acid ester being used is a glutamic acid ester, the mixed anhydride route is preferred, and the activated ester route is not used.

The conversion of amide esters 3 to amide acids 4 may be carried out by conventional saponification using about one equivalent of an alkali metal hydroxide in aqueous or mixed aqueous organic solution (e.~., ethanol-water) over a temperature of 25 to 100C. When R' is benzyl, the generation of ~ may be carried out by catalytic debenzyla-tion using hydrogen and a noble metal catalyst (for example, palladium or platinum~ in an organic solvent such as a lower alkanol or acetic acid.

When R i9 ~CH2)4NHCbZ, ~CbZ = benzyloxycarbonyl) the removal of the CbZ blocking group is carried out by catalytic debenzylation or preEerably by treatment with boron tribromide.

When R is tertiary alkyl the conversion of 3 to 4 may be carried out by the action of an aprotic acid, for example, by refluxing trifluoroacetic acid.

Alternatively, compounds of type 4 may be prepared by Schotten-Baumann reaction of the acid halide (2, x =
halide) with the amino acid in the presence of a weak ~-392 LZ~

base, preferably sodium or potassium bicarbonate, in aqueous solu~ion as in the following reaction scheme (B):
},n CH3~Co~CH2CO halide ~ N~12OEIC02H

~ , NaHC03 The salts of the compounds of general formula ~ may be prepared by the conventional method of reacting the acid compounds 4 with the desired base, or by cation exchange.

The anti-inflammatory activity of the compounds of the instant invention was measured in the rat adjuvant arthri-tis test ~S. Wong et al~, J. Pharmacol. and Exp. Ther.185, 127 (1973)]. Female Wistar/Lewis rats were given an injection of heat-killed Mycobacterium butyricum in light mineral oil. After eleven days, the animals which had developed an arthritic condi~ion were selected and given daily oral doses of test drug for seventeen days. The compound tested was administered either as aqueous solution of sodium salt (Admin. Form "a") or as aqueous suspension of free acid in n.os~ methyl cellulose (Admin.
Form "b"). Paw volumes were measured and the percent inhibition of swelling of the noninjected hind paw as compared to controls was calculated for the fourth and seventeenth day after initiation of dosing. The test results are set forth in Table I and are expressed as ED50 ~mg/kg~day).

In addition ~o their anti-inflammatory activity, the com-pounds of the instant invention were evaluated for their ability to induce gastric ulceration since gastric irritation is the most significant side effect following administration of nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory agents.

As can be seen, in addition to greater potency than tolme-tin, the compounds of the instant invention also display a more favorable therapeutic index than the parent drug. In common with other nonsteriodal anti-inflammatory agents, compounds of type 4 also pOS5eSS analgesic activity.

The compounds of formula 4 may be administered to humans in the same general manner as tolmetin, except that, since the compounds are more potent, the amount of active drug 2S per unit dose will be less, on the order of 25 mg ~o 200 mg~
