Description

Derivatives of 4-aminobutyric acid and drugs, active in partlcular on the central nervous system, containing same.
. _ The present invention relates to derivatives of lower alkyl amino aCidshaving pharmacological properties on the central ner-vous system.
More particularly, the invention relates, as newproducts, 5 to amides of lower ~lkyl amino acids corrresponding to the general fo rmula:
R-CONH-(CH2)m- ~CH-(CH2)n-CON (I) in which:
- R designates a linear or branched alkyl group having from 1 to 7 10 atoms of carbon or a cycloalkyl group;
- m represents an integer of from 0 to 3;
- n represents an integer of from 0 to 2, on condition that m~n is equal to or greater than l;
- X represents hydrogen, a lower alkyl group (1 to 4 carbon atoms), 15 a phenylalkyl group in which the phenyl group is possibly substituted;
- Rl and R2 considered separately designate hydrogen, a linear or branclled alkyl group having from I to 18 carbon atoms, an aralkyl group, a cycloalkyl group or a possibly substituted phenyl group;
or 20 Rl and R2 considered together with the atom of nitrogen to which they are attached represent a heterocycle with S or 6 groupings pos6ibly comprising a second heteroatom such as pyrrolidine, mor-pholine, piperazine or pyridine and its partially or totally hydroge-nated derivatives.
The compound~ of the invention show interesting activities on the central nervous system and may be used in particular as sedatives, tranquilizers, hypnotics and ntinor tranquilizers.
The compounds according to the invention may be obtained according to the ~ollowing reaction diagram:
H 2 ~~ (CH2 )n~ ~ ICH - ( CH 2 )n ~ COOR ' R - COCl (R' being H or a lower alkyl radical) 12~3Z3~

HN ~l RCONH- (CH2)m-C~H-(CH2) Il-COOR' ~ R2
(2) RCONH-(CH2)m-1cH~(cH2)n~cON~

From the known composite aminoacids or aminoesters 1, the amide acids 2 are obtained by action of the chloride of R-COCl acid within a suitable solvent, such as wa-ter, eth~r or a lower aliphatic alcohol and in the presence of an acceptor of mineral or organic hydracid and, in particular, sodium hydroxide or triethylamine.
The amide acids or esters 2 are isolated from the reaction mixture and, most often, are used as such without purification for the followi~g step.
. ., , ,Rl Amldlflcatlon (reaction with HN~ ) may be effected according -to various methods.
When R' represents a lower alkyl radical, the reaction ,Rl is made of the ester 2 on the amine HN~ in solution in a lower aliphatic alcohol or using an excess of amine as solvent.
Operation is generally carried out at a temperature of between about 0 and about 50C and, most often, at ambient temperature.
The duration of the reaction may vary from an hour to several days. When R' represents hydrogen, the reaction of the acid 2 Rl on the amine H ~ is made either by passing through the intermediary of the corresponding ester (conversion of acid into an ester of lower aliphatic alcohol) or by using a mixed anhydride formed from the acid 2. This mixed anhydride is formed by reacting the acid on the chloroformate of ethyl in the presence of an alkaline agent such as triethylamine. Operation is carried out in a suitable solvent such as tetrahydrofucan without it being necessary to isolate the mixed anhydride obtained. Operation is generally carried out at a temperature of between 0 and 40C foc a duration which may vary from 3 to 15 hours, about.

Durlng the whole period of study, the recordings have not shown any morphological changes of the encephalographic outline The product provokes a significant reduction in waking (-8,1%) correlated to a significant increase in the slow sleep (+6. 6%).
This effect persists during the checking phase.
2 ) anti e}~
The antiepileptic effect was determined vls-à-vis convulsive crises provoked by electroshock or by bicuculline.
E:lectroshock (12. 5 V for 0. 5 sec) is effected ill the mouse 60 mins. after administration of the product by the oral route .
Bicuculline is administered to the mouse by the intra-venous ~oute at a rate of 1 mg/kg, 60 mins. ater the product to be studied has been given per os. The protector effect obtained vis-à-vis the tonic crises is noted.
By operating on various batches of animals with diffe-20 rent doses of the product to be studied, the median effective dose ( E:D S0) can be determined The results are shown in Table VIII hereinafter and show the clear antiepileptic properties of the products studied.
B) Biochemical study a) Effect on the rate of 4-aminobutyric acid ________________________.. _________ The 40039 was administered 30 mins. before sacrifice in the mouse, The rate of 4-aminobutyric acld was evaluated on th~
whole brain (batch of 6 animals) (cf. Table IX hereinafter).
The 40039 provokes a rapid Increase in the rate of 4-amino-30 butyric acid in the whole brain in the mouse.
b) Effect on the central dopaminergy _______ ________ ____ ___ _ The effect of the products on the central dopaminergicactivity was studied by measurement of the accumulation of homo-vanillic acid over a period of 24 hours after adminstration of the 35 products in the mouse.
The rate of homovanilllc acid (HVA) is evaluated in the whole brain, the animal~ receive an injection of probenecidum ,: ~ , ,.

Z3() (200 mg/kg i p. ) an hour and a half before sacrifice (batch of 10 animals ).
The two products provoke similar ef~ects on the rate of HVA, in particular, they provoke an increase in the rate 4 hours after their administration and a considerable reduction 24 hours after their adminiætration (cf Table X hereinafter).
c) Acute toxicitv The products to be studied are administered by the oral route at doses of 500 and 1000 mg/kg to batches of mice. The mice are observed for 24 hours and the mortality is noted.
The results expressed in percentage of rnortality are shown in Table XI hereinafter.
They indicate that, at the dose of 500 mg/kg, none o~ the products studied showed~ny sign of act~te toxicity. At 1000 mg/kg, a very high dose, a few products show a lOO~o toxicity, but, in th~ majority of cases, acute toxicity remains low or zero.
I'he tests thus carried out show that the products accor-ding to the invention present interesting pharmacologlcal properties and a low toxicity. Coniequently, they may be used in human thera-peutics, particularly for the treatment of neurological and psychic disorders.
rn particular, the products according to the invention may be used for treating disorders in mood or behaviour; nervosism irritability as well as for treating anxious states and insomnia.
These products may be admlnistered by the oral route or by injectable route The pharmaceutical compositions may be solid or liquid and may be in the form, for example, of tablets, capsules, granules, supposltories or injectable preparation6.
The dosage may vary to wide proportions, in particular 30 depending on the type and seriousness of the disorder to be treated and a~ cording to the mode of administration. Most often, in the ~ult, by the oral route, it is included between 0.100 and 1 ~ per day1 possibly spread out in several doses.

OR PRIVILEGE IS CLAIMED ARE DEFINED AS FOLLOWS:
1. A process for the preparation of amides of lower alkyl amino acids corresponding to general formula:

(I) in which:
- R designates a linear or branched alkyl group having from 1 to 7 carbon atoms or a cycloalkyl group;
- m represents an integer of from 0 to 3;
- n represents an integer of from 0 to 2, on condition that m+n is equal to or greater than 1;
- X represents hydrogen, a lower alkyl group (1 to 4 carbons), a phenylalkyl group in which the phenyl group is possibly substituted, - R1 and R2 considered separately designate hydrogen, a linear or branched alkyl group having from 1 to 18 carbon atoms, an aralkyl group, a cycloalkyl group or a possibly substituted phenyl group, - or R1 and R2 considered together with the nitrogen atom to which they are attached represent a heterocycle with 5 to 6 groupings possibly comprising a second hetroatom which comprises reacting an aminoacid of formula:

(II) in which m, n and X have the meanings given above and R' is a hydrogen atom or a lower alkyl group (1 to 4 carbon atoms), or ester thereof with an acid chloride of formula R CO Cl so as to convert the amine group thereof into an amide radical, and subjecting the product so formed to amidification with a compound of formula
2. The process according to claim 1, wherein amidification is effected by reaaction of a product in which R' is lower alkyl with the amine , operating in solution in alcohol or using an excess of amine as solvent, and at a temperature of between about 0 and about 50°C.
3. The process of claim 2, wherein an ester of an acid (R'=H) of formula II with a lower alcohol is amidified with the amine.
4. Amides of lower alkyl amino acids corresponding to the general formula (I) given in claim 1, whenever prepared by a process according to claim l, claim 2 or claim 3, or an obvious chemical equivalent thereof.
5. The process of claim 2, wherein amidification is effected on a mixed anhydride of the acid (R' = H) by action on the acid of an ethyl chloroformate in the presence of an alkaline agent.
6. The process of claim 5 wherein said alkaline agent is triethylamine.
7. Amides of lower alkyl amino acids corresponding to the general formula (I) given in claim 1, whenever prepared by a process according to claim 5 or claim 6, or an obvious chemical equivalent thereof.
8. The process of claim 1 wherein a 4-aminobutyric acid amide of formula is prepared by reaction of 4-aminobutyric acid with butyryl chloride, and reaction of the product so formed with dibutylamine.
9. 4-aminobutyric acid amide of formula whenever prepared by a process according to clam 8 or an obvious chemical equivalent thereof.
10. The process of claim 1 wherein a 4-aminobutyric acid amide of formula is prepared by reaction of 4-aminobutyric acid with butyryl chloride, and reaction of the product so formed with n-butylamine.
