Abstract

ABSTRACT OF THE DISCLOSURE

The subject of the present invention is 2-(benzhydrylsulfonyl) acetamide, which is a compound of the Formula I:

- SO 2 - CH2 - CONH2 I

This compound exhibits an activity on the central nervous system and may be used in therapy. There is also disclosed a process for the preparation and the usage of this compound as an active ingredient in therapeutic compositions.

Description

~6~ 2~

The present invention ralates to 2-(benzhydrylsulfonyl) acetamide, a process for its preparation and its therapeutic use.
Thus, the subject of the present invention is 2 (benzhydryl-sulfonyl) acetamide which is a compound of f~rmula:

~\

~Y
The applicant has di~covered that this compound exhibitQ an activity on the central nervous system and may be used in therapy.
2-(benzhydrylsulfonyl) acetamide can be prepared by oxlda~ion.
in particular by hydrogen peroxide, from 2-(benzhydrylthio) acetamide~
the latter itself being prepared by reaction of ammonia with 2-(benzhydrylthio) acetyl chloride.
Therapeutic compositions containing 2-(benzhydrylsulfonyl) acetamide as active ingredient are also a subject of the present invention.
The following example illustrates the preparation of the compound:
a) Preparation of 2-(benzhydry~ o) acetamide 21 g (0.076 mole) of benzhydrylthioacetyl chloride dissolved in 100 ml of methylene chloride are added drop-wise with stirring to 40 ml of ammonia and 40 ml of water. After being stirred for 1 hour, the organic pha~e i~ separated, washed with water and dried over Na2S04. The solvent iq e~aporated in a vacuum, the residue is crystallized from isopropyl ether and recrystallized from ethyl acetate. The compound is obtained in a yield of 45~.
It is a white powder, soluble in alcohols, acetone, ethyl acetate; insoluble in water, isopropyl ether. It melts at 107-108C.
b) Preparation of 2-(benzhydrylsulfonYl) acetamide (Code ~o. CRL 41 056) 12.85 g (0.05 mole) of 2-(benzhydrylthio) acetamide dissolved In 50 m} of acetic acid are oxidized by the drop-wise addition of 15 ml (0.15 mole) of 110 Yolumes strength hydrogen peroxide bet~een 20 and 30C.
After being ~tirred for 5 hours9 the mixture is left ~o stand for 48 hour3.
The sulfone is filtered off, washed with water, dried and recry~tallized from ethanol.
~ : .

~.. ~, .

~z~

The compound is obtained in an overall yield of 36%.
It exists in the form of white needles, soluble in alcohols, acetone; slightly soluble in chloroform, ethyl acetate; insoluble in ethyl ether, water. It melts at 194C.
The results of the pharmacological studies on the compound (CRL 41 056) demonstrating its properties will be given below.
A suspension of CRL 41 056 in a solution of gum arabic was administered by the intraperitoneal route in a volume of 20 ml/kg to the mouse (male, NMRI, Evic Ceba) and 5 ml/kg to the rat (male, CDl, SPRAGUE DAWLEY, Charles).

I - Pretoxicity (3 mice per dose) - At doses of 64,_128 and 256 mg/kg appearance of stomach cramps - At a dose of 512 mg/kg: stomach cramps, dyspnea.
- At a dose of 1024 mg/kg: stomach cramps, dyspnea, sedation, no deaths.

II - General behaviour and reactivity Groups of 3 rats were observered before and then at 15 mn, ;~ 30 mn, 1 h, 2 h, 3 h and 24 h after administration of CRL 41 056.
4 mg/kg: hypo-reactivity on being touched (30 mn) 25- 16 mg/kg: hypo-reactivity on being touched (30 mn) : mydriasis for 2 to 3 hours - 64 mg/kg: hypo-reactivity on being touched (30 to 60 mn) :: :
: muscular hypotonia (15 mn) : mydriasis for 1 hour - 256 mg/kg: hypo-reactivity on being touched and muscular hypotonia for 30 mn.
: mydriasis for 1 to 3 hours : dyspnea for 2 hours.

III - Action on spontaneous motility A half-hour after being given CRL 41 056, the mice (6 per dose, 12 controls) are placed in an actimeter where their motility is recorded for 30 minutes.
At doses of 12~ and 512 mg/kg, CRL 41 056 brings about a diminution in spontaneous motor activity.

Conclusion CRL 41 056 shows a sedative effect associated with hypo-motility and hypo-reactivity.
CRL 41 056 has proved to be a good sedative in man when two tablets each containing 100 mg are taken per day.
The therapeutic compositions according to the invention may be administered to man or animals by the oral and parentera7 routes.
They may be available in the form of solid or semi-solid preparations. As examples may be cited tablets, capsules, suppositories as well as delayed-release forms.
In these compositions, the active ingredient is usually mixed with one or more of the pharmaceutically acceptable excipients usually used and well-known to the specialist.
The quantity of active ingredient administered obviously depends on the patient who is being treated, the route of administration and the severity of the disease.
