Description

Description The use of substituted 3,4-dihydro-2H-benzopyrans as remedies for obstructive functional disorders of the lungs and/or disorders of the efferent urinary passages.

The invention relates to the use of 3,4-dihydro-2H-benzo-tb]pyrans of the formula I

~ - C=O
Ar-SOn ~ R~2 in which R1 represents H, OH, (C1-C2)-alkoxy, (C1-C2)-alkyl or NR4R5, where R4 and R5 are identical or different and represent H, (C1-C2)-alkyl or (C1-C3)-alkyl-carbonyl, R2 and R3 are identical or different and represent alkyl having 1-4 carbon atoms, Ar represents an aromatic or heteroaromatic system which is unsubstituted or substituted by 1 to 3 identical or different radicaLs (C1-C2)-alkyl, (C1-C2)-alkoxy, halogen, trifluoromethyl, CN, NOz, CO-(C1-C2)-alkyl or SOm-(C1-C2)-alkyl with m = 1 or 2, n represents 1 or 2, X represents a chain (CH2)r which can be interrupted by a heteroatom 0, S or NR6, where R6 denotes H or (C1-C4)-alkyl, and r represents the numbers 2, 3, 4 or 5, ' _ - 2 - 1336891 for the preparation of a remedy for obstructive func-tional disorders of the lungs and/or disorders of the efferent urinary passages.

An aromatic system Ar is preferably to be understood to be phenyl, naphthyl or biphenylyl, and a 5- or 6-membered heteroaromatic system Ar is preferably a radical of a 5-or 6-membered 0, N and/or S heterocyclic ring, especially furyl, thienyl, isothiazolyl, oxazolyl, isoxazolyl, pyrazolyl, imidazolyl, thiazolyl, pyridyl, pyrazinyl, pyrimidinyl, pyridazinyl or triazinyl.

Halogen is to be understood to be F, Cl, Br or I, prefer-ably F and Cl.

Carbon atoms 3 and 4 of the 3,4-dihydro-2H-benzotb]pyran system (also called "chroman system" hereinafter for brevity) of the formula I are asymmetrically substituted.
In this connection, the invention relates only to those compounds which have opposite configurations at these centers, that is to say have a "trans" orientation of the substituents on these carbon atoms. If one of the sub-stituents R1, ArSOn, R2 and/or R3 contains centersof asymmetry, or if R2 and R3 are not the same (and thus generate an asymmetric carbon atom), the invention relates to compounds with centers both of the S and of the R configuration.

The compounds can be in the form of optical isomers, di-astereoisomers, racemates or mixtures thereof.

Preferably used are compounds of the formula I in ~hich R1 to R3 and ArSOn have the abovementioned meanings, but X represents a chain (CH2)r with r = 3 or 4.

Very particularly preferably used are those compounds in which R1 to R3 have the abovementioned meanings, Ar represents phenyl which is unsubstituted or substituted as defined above, n represents 2, and X represents a chain (CH2)r with r = 3 or 4.
t Especially preferably used are those compounds in which R1 denotes H, R2 and R3 represent (C1-C2)-alkyl, S Ar represents phenyl which is unsubstituted or substituted once by (C1-Cz)-alkyl, (C1-C2)-alkoxy or halogen, n represents 2, and X represents a chain (CH2)r with r =
3 or 4.

Likewise preferred are compounds with R1 equal to H, R2 and R3 equal to (C1-C2)-alkyl, X equal to (CH2)3r-Ar equal to C6H4Cl, and n equal to 2, as well as those with R1 equal to H, R2 and R3 equal to (C1-C2)-alkyl, Ar equal to phenyl, n equal to 2, and X equal to (CH2)3.

EP 0,176,689 describes the use of benzopyrans for res-piratory tract diseases and/or disorders of the gastro-intestinal tract and/or of the uterus, with special emphasis being placed on those disorders occurring in smooth muscular contractions. EP 207,614 describes the use of benzopyrans for incontinence. Furthermore, J.
Med. Chem. 1986, 29, 2194 - 2201 discloses that compounds of this type may have hypotensive properties. It has now been found, surprisingly, in pharmacological investiga-tions that compounds I are likewise suitable for use as remedies for respiratory tract diseases and/or disorders of the efferent urinary passages.

Hence the invention relates to the use of the compounds of the formula I for the treatment and prophylaxis of the diseases detailed above; particularly preferred in this connection are those diseases in which there is a dis-turbance of the smooth muscular contractions of the parti-cular organs, such as, for example, asthma, incontinence or renal colic. Particularly important in this connec-tion are those compounds I whose hypotensive properties are less pronounced.

The invention is furthermore directed at a pharmaceutical product for the treatment of obstructive functional dis-orders of the lungs, ~hich contains a compound I as active substance besides customary additives, as ~ell as S at a compound I for use for the treatment of obstructive functional disorders of the lungs and/or of the efferent ur1nary passages.

Very particularly preferred is the use of 3,4-dihydro-2,2-dimethyl-6-(2-chlorophenylsulfonyl)-trans-4-(2-oxo-1-pyrrolidinyl)-2H-benzo[b]pyran-3-ol for the preparation of a remedy for disorders of the efferent urinary pass-ages and the use of 3,4-dihydro-2,2-dimethyl-6-phenyl-sulfonyl-trans-4-(2-oxo-1-pyrrolidinyl)-2H-benzo~b]pyran-3-ol for the preparation of a remedy for obstructive respiratory tract diseases.

The invention furthermore embraces the use of the com-pounds according to the invention for the preparation of pharmaceuticals ~hich are used for the treatment and prophylaxis of the abovementioned diseases.

The compounds I can be prepared by the follouing pro-cesses:

by a) reacting compounds of the formula II

O~ II
Ar-S ~ ~ ~r R1 ~ ~ R23 in ~hich R1 to R3 and ArSOn are as defined above, ~ith lactams of the formula III

- 1~36891 (N)~O I I I

b) reacting compounds of the formula IV

Ar-SOn ~ ~ IV

in ~hich R1 to R3 and ArSOn are as defined above, with the lactams of the formula III, c) acylating compounds of the formula V

AsSOn ~2R3 ( V ) in ~hich R1 to R3 and ArSOn are as defined above, to give the compounds VI

RN ~ X-Y
ArSOn ~ ~ R3 VI

in ~hich Y is a leaving group such as, for example, chlorine or bromine, and R1 to R3 and ArSOn are as defined above, and cyclizing the latter to give the compounds I, d) oxidizing compounds of the formula VII
( ~);H2 R ~O~R13i VI I

in which R1 to R3 and ArSOn are as defined above, to give the compounds I.

~here the compounds I are prepared by methods a) or b), this is carried out by reacting the compounds II or IV in a suitable solvent, preferably in dipolar aprotic sol-vents such as, for example, dimethyl sulfoxide or THf, with the lactams III, preferably with the action of bases such as, for example, sodium hydride, potassium tert.-butylate or similar bases known to be suitable for lactam N-alkylations. The temperature for this reaction can be varied ~ithin ~ide limits; it is preferably carried out between 0 and room temperature or at temperatures which may be slightly above room temperature.

Lactams of the formula III are known in many cases, or they can readily be prepared by methods known from the literature. Compounds II or IV are new. They can be prepared, for example, by the following synthetic route:

Compounds of the formula VIII
o 1~ ~ R3 VIII

in ~hich R1, R2 and R3 are as defined above, are reacted with acid chlorides Ar-SOn-Cl in a type of Friedel-Crafts acylation in a manner known per se to give com-pounds of the formula IX

~ V ~ R2 IX
in which R1, R2, R3 and Ar and n are as defined above.
The latter are converted by reductions under standard conditions, for example by NaBH4 in methanol, into the - 7 ~ 1336891 compounds X
- OH

~hich are then subjected to elimination of ~ater, for example by pyridine/phosphorus oxychloride, resulting in compounds of the formula XI:

~ R3 Compounds XI can no~ easily be converted by standard methods into the epoxides IV or the bromohydrins II.

If in this reaction sequence R means NH2 or OH, protec-tive groups may be necessary, such as, for example, thedimethylaminomethylene group for NH2 or the acetyl or methyl group for the OH group. These are eliminated again at suitable stages, preferably after the reactions described in process a) or b) have been carried out, by conventional methods.

Chromenes of the formula XI are, in some cases, prepared in a manner kno~n per se by thermally induced cyclization of the corresponding propargyl ethers XII

It is possible and particularly beneficial to use pro-cesses c) and d) ~hen the final products I are desired as pure enantiomers. Compounds V and VII are, in con-trast to compounds I, basic and thus able to form saltswith organic acids. It is possible, by crystallization ~ith a suitable optically pure acid such as, for example, (I)-mandelic acid or (~)-lactic acid, in a manner kno~n per se to obtain them as pure enantiomers, and convert them by processes c) and d) into final products I as pure enantiomers.

Ho~ever, final products I can also be obtained as pure enantiomers from racemic final products I by conventional methods of racemate resolution such as, for example, chromatographic separation using chiral phases, or derivatization of the racemic products ~ith optically pure acid derivatives (ester formation via the 3-hydroxy group of the chroman system) or ~ith optically pure iso-cyanates (carbamate formation via the 3-hydroxy group).
The diastereoisomeric isocyanates or esters obtained in this way can be separated by conventional methods (crystallization or chromatography) and converted into the optically pure final compounds I with elimination of the optically active auxiliary group on the 3-OH group.
Separation of the diastereomeric 3-menthoxyacetates has proven particularly advantageous in this connection.

As already mentioned, the compounds I can be used accord-ing to the invention as agents for the treatment of obstructive respiratory tract diseases and/or for the treatment of disorders of the efferent urinary passages.

In this connection, pharmaceuticals which contain the compounds I can be administered orally, parenterally, intravenously, rectally or by inhalation, with the pre-ferred administration form being dependent on the disease which is to be treated. In this connection, the com-pounds I can be used alone or together with pharmaceuti-cal auxiliaries, specifically both in veterinary and in human medicine.

The expert is familiar, on the basis of his expert know-ledge, with the auxiliaries which are suitable for the desired pharmaceutical formulation. Besides solvents, gel-formers, suppository bases, tablet auxiliaries and other active substance vehicles, it is possible to use, for example, antioxidants, dispersants, emulsifiers, antifoam agents, flavorings, preservatives, solubilizers or pigments.

For a form for oral use, the active compounds are mixed with the additives suitable for this purpose, such as excipients, stabilizers or inert diluents, and converted by the customary methods into suitable administration forms such as tablets, coated tablets, hard gelatin cap-sules, aqueous, alcoholic or oily suspensions or aqueous, alcoholic or oily solutions. Examples of inert vehicles which can be used are gum arabic, magnesia, magnesium Z5 carbonate, potassium phosphate, lactose, glucose or starch, especially corn starch. This preparation can be carried out both as dry and as wet granules. Examples of suitable oily excipients or solvents are vegetable or animal oils, such as sunflower oil or fish liver oil.

For subcutaneous or intravenous administration, the active compounds are converted, if desired with the sub-stances customary for this purpose, such as solubilizers, emulsifiers or other auxiliaries, into a solution, sus-pension or emulsion. Examples of suitable solvents are water, physiological saline or alcohols, for example o- 1336891 ethanol, propanol or gLycerol, as well as sugar solutions - such as glucose or mannitol solutions, or else a mixture of the various solvents mentioned.

Examples of pharmaceutical formulations suitable for administration in the form of aerosols or sprays are solutions, suspensions or emulsions of the active sub-stance of the formula I in a pharmaceutically acceptable solvent such as, in particular, ethanol or water, or a mixture of such solvents. The formulation can, if required, also contain other pharmaceutical auxiliaries such as surfactants, emulsifiers and stabilizers, as well as a propellant gas. A formulation of this type normally contains the active substance in a concentration of about 0.1 to 10, in particular of about 0.3 to 3, X by weight.

The dosage of the active substance of the formula I which is to be administered, and the frequency of administra-tion, depend on the strength of action and duration of action of the compound used, and, additionally, on the nature and severity of the disease which is to be treated, as well as on the sex, age, weight and individual res-ponse of the mammal which is to be treated. On average, the recommended daily dose of a compound of the formula I for a patient weighing about 75 kg is at least 0.1 mg, preferably at least 1 mg, up to a maximum of 100 mg, preferably up to a maximum of 10 mg. In this connection, several, for example up to 4, single doses a day may be necessary for acute episodes of the disease, for example for attacks of asthma or of renal colic, whereas one dose may also suffice for prophylaxis.

In this connection, the compounds I can be administered alone or in combination ~ith other compounds, for example when used for obstructive respiratory tract disorders with 32-agonists such as salbutamol, or with theo-phylline or with disodium cromoglycate.

Pharmacological data a) Effect on respiratory tract disorders Effect on histamine-induced bronchoconstriction in guinea-pigs Method:

Uhite guinea-pigs of both sexes and weighing bet~een 450 and 550 9 were anesthetized with 60 mg/kg pentobarbital i.p. After tracheotomy, they were ventilated with a Starling pump (from Braun, Melsungen). The tidal volume ~as selected for generous ventilation of the lungs. The ventilation pressure was adjusted to 80 mm H20 with the S aid of a water column (Rosenthal and Dervinis). The breathing rate was 30 breaths/min. An excess of avail-able respiratory air can pass through a bypass in the inhalation tube to a washbottle which is designed as a water pressure-relief valve. ~hen air is blown by the Starling pump through the inhalation tube into the lungs they are inflated until the pressure in the system has reached the value set by the height of the water column (80 mm H20). The continuing inflow of air flo~s through the pressure-relief valve into the washbottle. This excess air which escapes into the bottle after the set pressure has been exceeded is measured with the aid of a piston recorder and is taken as a measure of the change in the airway resistance. Measurement was carried out in a manner slightly modified from the original Konzett-Rossler method, in that the piston recorder was replacedby a Fleisch dynamic pressure tube (type 0000). The difference in pressure which occurred was detected with a Statham PM 97 TC differential pressure transducer. A
Hellige multichannel pen recorder was used to record the measurements.

The test substances are administered as aerosol ~ith the aid of an ultrasonic atomizer (Monaghan M 650). The atomizer chamber is interpolated in the inhalation tube of the ventilation pump and allows the animals to inhale the aerosol for 1 min. The volume to be atomized is 0.02 ml/min.

Used for atomization is a physiological saline solution to which the substance to be tested is added in the form of a solution in propanediol.

It is ensured, in a control experiment, that the solvent ~ - - Z3 - 1336891 propanediol/physiological saline solution has no action itself.

Eronchoconstriction is induced by doses of histamine di-hydrochloride (6 - 12 ~g/kg i.v.). Injection is through S a catheter introduced into the jugular vein. The dose is selected so that a respiratory "overflow" of 60% of the offered tidal volume occurs during the histamine-induced bronchoconstriction. The histamine doses are given at intervals of 5 minutes. After at least 3 well-reproduced bronchoconstrictions, the test substances areadministered as aerosol for 1 min and, after an action time of 2 min, the bronchoconstriction is induced ane~
and repeated at intervals of S minutes.

The degree of inhibition of the histamine-induced broncho-constriction after pretreatment with the test substance is regarded as a measure of the bronchodilator activity and is reported as Z change from the control.

All results are subjected to linear regression, and the IDso is determined.

Male guinea-pigs were sacrificed by a blow to the back of the neck and exsanguination from the carotids. The two ureters were immediately removed, avoiding the region near the renal pelvis because of the pacemaker activity present there. Pieces 2 cm long were first freed of connective tissue in a Petri dish containing Tyrode solu-tion and then suspended in a 25 ml organ bath (from Rhema Labortechnik, Hofheim), in each case with a tension of 4.9 mN (= 0.5 p). The organ bath contained Tyrode solu-tion of the following composition (mmol/l): NaCl 137, KCl 2.68, MgS04 1.05, CaCl2 1.8, NaH2P04 0.41, NaHC03 11.9, glucose 5.55, which was maintained at 37C and through which carbogen (95% 2~ 5% C02) was bubbled.

The contractions were measured isometrically using Gould/
Statham UC2 pickups. After an equilibration time of at least 15 minutes, KCl was added to the organ bath to reach a concentration of 4 x 10 2 mol/l. The agonist was left in the bath for 2 minutes, during which phasic contractions occurred without bringing about any note-worthy increase in the basic line tension.

Rinsing was then carried out for 1 minute, the rhythmiccontractions ceasing immediately. After a second run with addition of agonist and the rinsing procedure, the test substance (benzopyran derivative) ~as added to the organ bath (in the form of a solution in 0.1 ml of ethanol; the final concentration was 10 7 mol/l in all cases) and was allowed to act for one minute before KCl was added. The subsequent rinsing procedure was followed by two final additions of agonist/rinsing procedures.

` 1336891 _ Z5 The following parameters were determined in each of the two-minute periods during which KCl acted: 1. mean force of contraction, 2. frequency of contractions and 3. pro-duct of mean force and frequency of contractions.

The criteria for exclusion were mean forces of contrac-tion below 4 mN or frequencies of below 2/min in more than one of the four periods in ~hich only the agonist KCl was present in the bath. Evaluation was of the per-centage inhibition with the test substance compared with the mean value from the two initial runs.

Besides the arithmetic mean (x), the standard error of the mean (SEM) was calculated.
