Abstract

2-Hydroxy-N,N,N-trimethylethanaminium salts of 5beta-cholanic-24 acid derivatives, of formula I

Description

This invention provides 2-hy~lo~y-N,N,N-trimethylethanaminium salts (= choline salts) of formula \l O

~I), HO ~ 1 wherein R1 and R2, and R3 and R4, independently, together are an oxo group, or are two hydrogen atoms or a hydrogen atom and a hydroxy group, and X is a C-O bond (i.e., a single bond directly o connecting -C- and -O-) or an -NH-CH2-CO- or -NH-(CH2)2-S02- group, X' - 2 - l 338907 which are pharmacologically effective substances which can be used, for example, as active ingredients of cholagogue or biliary tract therapeutic agents, as well as pharmaceutical and cosmetic preparations containing them.
The production of 2-hydroxy-N,N,N-trimethylethanaminium salts (= choline salts) of formula I can be performed under conditions which are well known to one skilled in the art.

- 3 - l 3~89~7 wherein Z represents a hydroxy group, if Y is a hydrogen atom, or means the radical of an inorganic acid, if Y is an alkali metal atom;
can be reacted in a polar inert solvent with choline.
Suitable solvents include, for example, lower alcohols (e.g., methanol, ethanol, propanol, isopropanol, etc.) or lower ketones (e.g., acetone, methyl ethyl ketone). On the other hand, dipolar aprotic solvents (e.g., dimethylformamide, hexamethylphosphoric acid triamide, etc.) are also suitable. But the latter generally do not produce any advantages. If lower alcohols and about 0.2 to 1 mol of acid per mol of choline are used, the salts can be isolated in a simple way, by the reaction mixture being concentrated by evaporation and/or the reaction products being precipitated by addition of nonpolar solvents, such as, for example, acetone.
On the other hand, the alkali metal salts of cholanic-24 acid derivatives of formula II (preferably the sodium and potassium salts) can also be reacted with choline salts of inorganic acids (preferably choline chloride or choline sulfate). This reaction can also be performed in inert polar solvents. If the reaction is performed in one of the above-named lower alcohols by use of approximately equimolar amounts of the two reactants, then the reaction product, after filtering off of the alkali metal salt of the inorganic acid, can be isolated in a simple way, by the filtrate being concentrated by evaporation and/or precipitated by addition of nonpolar solvents such as, for example, acetone.
These reaction variants can of course also be performed so that the free acids of formula II are reacted with a choline salt or an inorganic acid in an inert solvent, for example in the presence of alkali - 4 - l 3389~7 metal bicarbonates (e.g., sodium bicarbonate or potassium bicarbonate).
The 2-hydroxy-N,N,N-trimethylethanaminium salts of general formula I have the same pharmacological effect as the 5beta-cholanic-24 acid derivatives of general formula II, wherein R1 and R2 are oxo, and R3, R4 and Y are H.
Further, they exhibit a bactericidal or virucidal effectiveness.
Furthermore, the compounds according to the invention surprisingly exhibit, among other properties, good water solubility, good stability, relatively low basicity, and relatively good resorbability.
For production of pharmaceutical agent specialties the compounds according to the invention optionally are processed with the usual additives and flavorings into tablets, dragees and capsules, which normally contain 50 to 500 mg of active ingredient per dosage unit.
If the pharmaceutical agent specialty is to be used for medicinal dissolution of cholesterol gallstones, in animals, e.g., mammals, e.g., humans, as prophylaxis against gallstone formation or as bactericidal or virucidal agents, 5 to 20 mg of active ingredient per kg of body weight per day is generally administered to the patient, analogously to the known compound It will be appreciated that the actual preferred amounts of active compound in a specific case will vary according to the specific compound being utilized, the particular compositions formulated, the mode of application, and the particular situs and organism being treated. Dosages for a given host can be determined using conventional considerations, e.g., by customary comparison of the differential activities of the subject compounds and of a known agent, e.g., by means of an appropriate, conventional pharmacological protocol.

The great water solubility of the substances according to the invention further also make possible the production of aqueous solutions, which, for example, are suitable for infusion or injection, which can advantageously be used for treatment of primary biliary cirrhosis and primary sclerosing cholangitis as well as also for treatment of organ-caused acute disturbances of the bile flow or of intestinal absorption or which are suitable for irrigation of the bile duct or of the gallbladder by percutaneous transhepatic drainage.
Further, the substances according to the invention are also suitable for making into water/oil and/or oil/water emulsions. The lotions, creams or ointments are suitable as dermatological preparations, for example, for treatment of wounds or as cosmetics. Production of these lotions, creams or ointments takes place according to methods as they are well known to one skilled in the art (Dr. J. Stephen Jellinek "Kosmetologie" [Cosmetology]
2nd edition, 1967, Dr. Alfred Huethig Verlag, Heidelberg (West Germany) and European patent specification 0065 929).

The substances according to the invention are further suitable as galenical auxiliary agents for pharmaceutical preparations of active ingredients to improve their transdermal resorption.
Without further elaboration, it is believed that one ~killed in the art can, using the preceding description, utilize the present invention to its fullest extent. The following preferred specific embodiments are, therefore, to be construed as merely illustrative, and not 19 limitative of the remainder of the disclosure in any way whatsoever.
In the foregoing and in the following examples, all temperatures are set forth uncorrected in degrees Celsius and unless otherwise indicated, all parts and percentages are by weight.

Example 1 21.6 g of sodium salt of 3alpha,7beta-dihydroxy-Sbeta-cholanic-24 acid (= 0.052 mol) is dissolved in 250 ml of ethanol with warming, mixed with a solution of 7.0 g of choline chloride in 50 ml of ethanol and reacted for 2 hours. Then the reaction mixture is allowed to cool, the precipitated common salt is filtered out and the filtrate is largely concentrated by evaporation and the still flowable residue is instilled in 0.5 1 of acetone.
The mixture is stirred for two hours more, the product is suctioned off and dried in a vacuum. Thus, 17.9 g of 2-hydroxy-N,N,N-trimethylethanaminium salt of 3alpha,7beta-dihydroxy-Sbeta-cholanic-24 acid with a melting point of 185 to 190C is obtained.

The residue is taken up in acetone, the separated crystallizate is suctioned off and dried. 21.6 g of 2-hydroxy-N,N,N-trimethyleth~n~rinium salt of 3alpha,7beta-dihydroxy-Sbeta-cholanic-24 acid with a melting point of 186 to 190C is obtained.

It is stirred for another hour, the separated crystallizate is suctioned off and dried in a vacuum. Thus 20.0 g of 2-hydroxy-N,N,N-trimethylethanaminium salt of 3alpha,7alpha-dihydroxy-5beta-cholanic-24 acid with a melting point of 70 to 75C is obtained.

Example 4 11.7 g of 3alpha,12alpha-dihydroxy-5beta-cholanic-24 acid (= 0.030 mol) is dissolved in 30 ml of ethanol and mixed with 14.3 ml (= 0.030 mol) of a 2.1 molar solution of choline base in ethanol. Then the reaction mixture is instilled in 250 ml of acetone, the precipitate is suctioned off and dried in a vacuum. 12.8 g of 2-hydroxy-N,N,N-trimethylethanaminium salt of 3alpha,12alpha-dihydroxy-5beta-cholanic-24 acid with a melting point of 253 to 255C is obtained.

Then the mixture is instilled in 200 ml of acetone, stirred for some additional time, the crystals are suctioned off s and dried in a vacuum.
3.6 g of 2-hydroxy-N,N,N-trimethylethanaminium salt of N-(3alpha,7alpha-dihydroxy-24-oxo-5beta-cholan-24-yl) glycine with a melting point of 80 to 83C is obtained.
