Abstract

ABSTRACT OF THE DISCLOSURE:
The invention relates to a method for the preparation of 1,8-dihydroxy-10-acyl-9-anthrone, especially for use in the treatment of psoriasis, having the formula

Description

The present invention relates to a methGd for the preparation of 1,8-dihydroxy-10-acyl-9-anthrones, especially for use in the treatment of psoriasis.
1,8-Dih~droxy-9-anthrones substituted in the 10-S position have been used for a Eew years to replace dithranol, which has been known since 1916 and used for the treatment of psoriasis, and which strongly stains the skin and clothing in addition to strongly inflaming the skin.
The structural formula of 1,8-dihydroxy-10-acyl-9-anthrones is as follows:

HO O OH
1~ ~

CO-R
where R is an alkyl group having from 2 to 4 carbon atoms.
Finnish Patent FI 57743 discloses a method for preparing these compounds, which method consists in causing anthraline to react in boiling benzene with an acid chloride in the presence of pyridine. In this method, the acid chloride is used in an excess of 20%. The reaction mixture is boiled using return condensation for 10 hours, and the product is crystallized out from acetic acid. The yield in the method in question is, for example, only 25.5% of the theoretical.
The object of the present invention is to provide an improved method for the preparation of these compounds, which method has considerable advantages. By way of example, this new method can be carried out at a reaction temperature which is as low as -10C. In any case, it makes it possible to use very low reaction temperatures, for example room temperature. In addition, this new method makes it possible to avoid using benzene, which is ,~ - 1 -~2~ 3 strongly carcinogenic, and to use, for example, toluene, which is less harmful. Furthermore, the yield can be incxeased to 2- to 3-fold as compared with the method of Finnish Patent FI 57743.
The present invention provides a method for the preparation of l,8-dihydroxy-10-acyl-9-anthrone, especially for use in the treatment of psoriasis, having the formula lo ~$

co ~
where R is an alkyl group having 2 to 4 carbon atoms, wherein 1,8-dihydroxy-9-anthrone having the formula HO O OH
~ O
is reacted with an acid chloride having the formula RCCl, where R is as defined above, in the presence of a solvent characterized in that the reaction is carried out in the presence of 2,6-dimethyl pyridine.
The invention is based on the observation that the replacement of pyridine with 2,6-dimethyl pyridine makes it possible to lower the reaction temperature, to use toluene, xylene or chlorinated hydrocarbons such as dichloromethane or tetrachloroethene instead o~ benzene, and even to triple the yield as compared with the known method. If, urther-more, the acid chloride is used in an excess of 100 ~, thereaction can be completed in two hours.
From the above-mentioned low reaction temperature, which can be for example ~10C to +20C, it follows that the amount of impurities passing into the completed 1~8-dihydroxy-
- 2 -1~ 29~3 10-acyl-9-anthrone is small. Thus the purification is a simple procedure compared with the respective procedure in the known method. Acetonitrile or 2-propanol are suitable for use as the recrystallization solvent along with or instead of acetic acid.
The compounds prepared in accordance with the invention can be used in, for example, vaseline- or paraffin-based skin creams in concentrations of 0.5 - 5 %, in sticks intended for skin care in concentrations of, for example, 2 - 8 %, and in gels and in film-forming solutions.
The following examples illustrate the invention in greater detail.
Examp~ 1 Butyryl chloride in an amount of 207 ml (213 g, 2.0 mol) was added in the course of 2 hours at a temperature below 0C to a mixture which contained 2500 ml toluene, 226 g (1.0 mol) 1,8-dihydroxy-9-anthrone and 232 ml (214 g, 2.0 mol3 2,6-dimethyl pyridine.
The mixture was stirred at a temperature below 0C
for a further two hours after the addition.
The mixture was thereafter heated to +40C, the hydrochloride of the 2j6-dimethyl pyridine was filtered off, and most of the toluene was evaporated at lowered pressure.
2300 ml isopropanol was added to the residue, the mixture was cooled to -10C, and the precipitate was recovered by filtration. Recrystallization was carried out from aceto-nitrile, whereby a yield of 222 g 1,8-dihydroxy-10-butyryl-9-anthrone was obtained. This was 75 % of the theoretical.
Example 2 39 The procedure was fully analogous to that in Example 1, except that xylene was used instead of toluene.
The yield was the same as in Example 17 i.e. 75 %.
Example 3 Propionyl chloride in an amount of 86.9 ml (92.5 g, :~2~L~943 1 mol) was added in the course of about 2 hours at a temperature below 0C to a mixture which contained 1200 ml toluene, 113 g ~0.5 mol) 1,8-dihydroxy-9-anthrone and 116 ml (107 g, 1 mol) 2,6-dimethyl pyridine. Stirring was continued for a further two hours after the addition.
The 1,8-dihydroxy 10-propionyl-9-anthrone obtained as the result was separated by the procedure presented in Example 1. The yield was (120 g3 82 % of the theoretical.
Exa~ple 4 Starting from 1~8-dihydroxy-9-anthrone and valeryl chloride and using valeryl chloride in an excess of 100 %
and by proceeding otherwise as in Example 1, 1,8-dihydroxy-10-valeryl-9-anthrone was obtained as the result, the yield being 53 %.
Example 5 Pharmaceutical compositions were prepared by using the following constituents and amounts:
liquid paraffin 40 - 60 ~
solid paraffin 40 - 60 %
microcrystalline wax 0~5 - 5 %
In addition, about 2 - 8 % 1,8-dihydroxy-10-butyryl-9-anthrone was mixed with the carrier composition presented above. Sticks intended for skin care were molded ~rom the mixture, and it was observed that the use properties of the sticks were good and, furthermore, the medication in the sticks remained unchanged, specifically unoxidized.
