Abstract

Novel high-potency sweeteners of formula (I), wherein Y is a CH group or a nitrogen atom, A is an oxygen atom, n is 1 or 2, and R is a 3,4-disubstituted phenyl group, and physiologically acceptable salts thereof. Such compounds are useful as sweeteners.

Description

Novel sweeteners derived fronn 3,4~ ubstituted a-ben7~n~o~nnide N-(4-cy~nophenyl-~rb~moyl or ?-cy~nopyrid-5-ylr~rb~moyl)-T-;-~rtic or ~-glut~mic acids.

S The object of the present invention is novel sweetening agents derived from N-(4-cyanophenylcarbamoyl or 2-cyanopyrid-5-ylcarbamoyl)-L-aspartic or L-glutamic acid a-ben7~n~mides. These novel sweetening agents of very high sweetçning intensity are particularly useful for sweetening a variety of products, especially fizy drinks, foods, confectionery, pastries, chewing gums, hygiene products, cosmetics, toilet articles, ph~rm~-eutical and veterinary products, and their equivalents.
It is known that, in order to be usable on an industrial scale, a sweete~ing agent must possess notabl~ an intense sweetening potency, making it possible to limit the cost of its use.
The novel compounds in accordance with the present invention possess extremely high sweetening activities since they are, on a weight basis, up to 50,000 times more powerful than sucrose (table sugar). Amongst the artificial sweetçning agents currently on the market, the most used is a dipeptide derivative, N-L-a-aspartyl-L-phenylalanine 1-methyl ester, known better under the name of aspartame (US 3,49'',131). The principal advantages of this compound are its excellent organoleptic properties and its chemical constitution based on two natural amino acids, L-aspartic acid and L-phenyl~l~nine On the other hand, its sweetening potency is relatively weak since it is only 120 to 180 times higher than that of sucrose on a weight basis, this signifying that it is necessary to provide 1 gram of aspartame in order to replace 120 to 180 grams of sugar. The relatively weak ~weetenillg potency of aspartame, associated with its relatively high cost of manufacture due to its dipeptide structure, makes it therefore an expensive sweetening agent, this constituting its principal drawback within the context of its inclnctn~l use.
The e~tremely high sweetening potency of the compounds of the invention, associated with their ease of pl~pardlion, has as advantage the ~ aldtion of ' CA 02209922 1997-07-08 .

sweetçning agents of low cost price. The preferred sweete~in~ agents of the present invention are in fact up to 50,000 times sweeter than sugar on a weight basis, this meaning that 1 gram of the plGr~ d compounds of the invention is sufficient to replace up to 50 kilograms of sugar. The p,~rt;l.~d sweetening agents of the present invention being about 250 to 400 times more powerful than aspartame itself, their cost of use shall therefore be very low with respect to aspa,l~llle, this leaving it favourable to envisage their industrial application.
In the JP 86-26005' document, Tsuchiya et al. described sweetçnin~
agents having the following general formula:

O--NH~
~ --H R3 R1~=
2 n ~H

in which:
Rl and R3 are hydrogen or halogen atoms, or CN, NO2, R' (R' being an alkyl group15 of 1 to 6 carbon atoms), COOR"~ R"CO, halomethyl, R"O, CONHR", SO2R" OR
SOR" groups (R" being an alkyl group of 1 to 4 carbon atoms);
R2 is an oxygen or sulphur atom;
nis0,1or ';
and the configuration of the carbon atom marked C*, bearing an amino group, 20 being L or DL.
In this document, indicative figures relative to the sweetening potency are only found for only ~ (two) compounds claimed, namely, N-(4-nitrophenylcarbamoyl)-L-aspartic acid-a-4-chlorobenzeneamide of formula:

O CO--NH~ C1 O2N~N~--C--NH ~ C~H
iH2 COOH

which is described as having a sweetçnin~ potency of 5,400 times that of sucrose, and N-(4-nitrophenylcarbamoyl)-L-aspartic acid-a-4-cyanob~ ide of 5 formula:

O CO--NH ~ CN
~2 N ~NH--C--NH ~ C _ H
i COOH

which is described as having a ~wcc;Lellillg potency of 4,800 times that of sucrose.
It was discovered, and this constitutes the basis of the invention, that the sw~Gte.~ g potency of some other derivatives of N-(4-cyanophenylcarbamoyl or 2-cyanopyrid-5-ylcarbamoyl)-L-aspartic or L-glutamic acid-a-benzeneamides was greatly increased, in an entirely unpredictable manner, when the bçn7çnç~mide group is substituted siml-lt~neously in positions 3 (met~) and 4 15 G~ara) with applop,iately selected substituents. Now, it is known that a modification, even minor, of the structure of a sweetening agent may lead to a total loss of its activity. It is therefore entirely unexpected that a double substitution on the ben_eneamide group is able not su~ s the sweetenin~ activity, but on the contrary to strongly increases it with respect to the activity of the monosubstituted 20 compounds described in the prior art.

CA 02209922 l997-07-08 Thus, the object of the invention is novel sweetening agents, characterised in that they have the following formula:

A CO--NH--R
NC ~NH--C--NH ~ C ~ H
y ( CH2 ) n COOH

in which:
Y is a CH group or a nitrogen atom, A is an oxygen atom, 10 n is equal to 1 or ', R is a 3,4-disubstituted phenyl radical selected from the groups:
3,4-dimethylphenyl:

3,4-methylenedioxyphenyl:

~ , 2 3-hydroxy-4-methoxyphenyl:

OH
~ OCH3 3-chloro-4-methoxyphenyl:

~ OCH3 4-methyl-3-nitrophenyl:

NOz ~ CH3 indan-S-yl:

1,4-benzodioxan-6-yl:

o 20 and their physiologically acceptable salts.

The compounds of the invention for which n is equal to 1 represent a preferred form of the invention.

S A particularly advantageous embodiment form of the invention is N-(4-cyanophenylcarbamoyl)-L-aspartic acid-a-3,4-dimethylb~ 7~l-e~.,.ide of formula:

O CO--NH ~ CH 3 NC~;3NH--C--NH _ C~H

COOH

whose sweetening potency, expressed on a weight basis, is 50,000 times higher than that of sucrose by colllpalison with a '~% sucrose solution.
Another particularly advantageous embodiment form of the invention is N-(?-cyanopyrid-5-ylcarbamoyl)-L-aspartic acid-a-3,4-dimethylben7~n~mide 15 of formula:

O CO--NH~ CH3 NC~3NH--C--NH _ C_H

I

COOH

whose sweetening potency, expressed on a weight basis, is 40,000 times higher than that of sucrose by co.,lpafison with a 2% sucrose solution.
Other preferred compounds of the invention are characterised in that it is N-(4-cyanophenylcarbamoyl)-L-aspartic acid-a-3,4-methylenedioxybenzene-5 arnide, N-(~-cyanopyrid-S-ylcarbamoyl)-L-aspartic acid-a-3,4-methylenedioxy-benzeneamide, N-(4-cyanophenylcarbamoyl)-L-aspartic acid-a-3-hydroxy-4-methoxybenzeneamide, ~V-(2-cyanopyrid-5-ylcarbamoyl~-L-aspartic acid-a-3-hydroxy-4-methoxybenzeneamide, N-(4-cyanophenylcarbamoyl)-L-aspartic acid-a-3-chloro-4-methoxyb~l~el~ealllide, 10 N-(4-cyanophenylcarbamoyl)-L-aspartic acid-a-4-methyl-3-nitrobenzeneamide, lV-(4-cyanophenylcarbamoyl)-L-aspartic acid-a-indan-S-ylamide, N-( -cyanopyrid-5-ylcarbamoyl)-L-aspartic acid-a-indan-S-ylamide, ~V~4-c~anophenylcarbamoyl~-L-aspartic acid-a-1,4-benzodi-oxan-6-ylamide and N-(''-cyanopyrid-5-ylcarbamoyl)-L-aspartic acid-a-1,4-15 benzodioxan-6-ylamide.

The compounds of the invention differ therefore from the compounds described in the JP 86-'60052 document by the very specific nature and the position of the substituents fixed onto the benzeneamide group. In fact, in this prior 20 art document, the benzene ring of the benzeneamide group of the compounds described and claimed is monosubstituted, and, for the examples mentioned, only in position 4 (para).
In accordance with the present invention, the phenyl group R is simultaneously substituted in positions 3 (meta) and 4 (para) with specific groups.
25 The selection in the compounds of the invention of this novel group R leads to a spect~c~ r increase in the sweetening potency, it being possible for this potency to reach 10 (ten) times that of the compounds of the prior art, and consequently a significant decrease in the cost of use of such compounds.
The sweetening agents of the present invention may be added to any edible 30 product to which it is desired to give a sweet taste, provided that it is added in sufficient proportions to attain the level of sweetness desired. The optimal use concentration of the sweeterling agent will depend upon a variety of factors such as, for example, the sweetening potency of the sweetçning agent, the conditions of storage and use of the products, the particular constituents of the products and the level of sweetness desired. Any qualified person can easily ~letçrmine the optimal S proportion of sweetening agent which must be employed in order to obtain an edible product by carrying out routine sensory analyses. The sweetening agents of the present invention is, in general, added to the edible products in proportions, according to the sweetening potency of the compound, ranging from 0.5 mg to 50 mg of sweetening agent per kilogram or per litre of edible product. The 10 concentrated products will obviously contain greater quantities of ~w~etellillg agent, and will then be diluted following the final intentions of use.
The sweetçning agents of the present invention may be added in the pure fomm to products to be swee~ened, but because of their high sweetening potency they are generally mixed with an app-o~liate carrier or bulking agent.
Advantageously, the applol.liate carriers or bulking agents are selected from the group consisting of polydextrose, starch, maltocle~trin~, cellulose, methyl cellulose, carboxymethyl cellulose and other derivatives of cellulose, sodium alginate, pectins, gums, lactose, maltose, glucose, leucine, glycerol, m~nnitol,sorbitol, sodium bicarbonate, phosphoric, citric, tartaric, fumaric, benzoic, sorbic and propionic acids and their sodium, potassium and calcium salts, and equivalents thereof.
A sweetening agent of the invention may, in an edible product, be employed as the only sweetening agent, or in combination with other sweetening agents such as sucrose, com syrup, fructose, sweet dipeptide analogues or derivatives (as~a,l;~,l,e, alitame), neohesperidin dihydrochalcone, hydrogenatedisomaltulose, stevioside, the L sugars, gly~;yl,l,iGhl, xylitol, sorbitol, m~nnitol, acesulfame-K, saccharin and its sodium, potassium, ammonium and calcium salts, cyclamic acid and its sodium, potassium and calcium salts, sucralose, monellin, th~llm~tin and equivalents thereof.
The compounds of the invention can also be used either in the acid fomm or in their fomm of salts obtained with the aid of physiologically acceptable inorganic or organic bases, this having as effect to increase their solubility. Advantageously, these compounds are salified in the form of salts of sodium, potassium, ammonium, calcium or m~gn~cillm The pl~paldlion of the compounds of the invention makes use notably of 5 the methods commonly used in peptide synthesis (see for example M. Bodansky and A. Bodansky, The Practice of Peptide Synthesis, Springer Verlag, Berlin, 1984).
The pl~pa~dtion of the compounds according to the invention can thus be carried out from precursors of commercial origin, such as for example, N-10 benzyloxycarbonyl-L-aspartic acid 13-benzyl ester (n = 1), N-benzyloxycarbonyl-L-glutamic acid y-benzyl ester (n = ), and the amine R-NH2 wherein R is a disubstituted phenyl group such as defined above, in following the following reaction scheme:

The purification of the compounds of the invention is p~ lroll~led according to the standard techniques such as recryst~ tion and chromatography. Their structure and their purity have been checked by classical techniques (thin layerchromatography, high pelrol,llance liquid chromatography, infrared specLlollletry, S nuclear m~gnetic resonance, elementary analysis).

The sweetening potency of the compounds described in the Examples has been evaluated by a group of eight experienced people. For this, the compounds, in aqueous solution at ~ar~ing concentrations, are compared, with respect to taste, to 10 a control solution of sucrose of concentration '%. The sweetening potency of the test compound compared with sucrose then corresponds to the weight ratio between the compound and sucrose for equal ~w~ tlling h~lellsily, i. e. when thesweet tastes of the solution of the test compound and the control solution of sucrose are considered by a majority of people to ha~e the same sweetening 15 illttllSily.

The manner in which the invention may be carried out and the advantages resulting therefrom shall emerge better from the non-limiting implementation Examples that follow.
