Description

  

  Procédé de préparation d'une substance de la série des     diméthyl-xanthines.       La théophylline ou     1,3-diméthylxanthine     
EMI0001.0003     
    utilisée en thérapeutique, est peu soluble clans  l'eau et l'on a cherché à la transformer en  dérivés plus solubles,     notamment    par substi  tution de radicaux appropriés à l'hydrogène  lié à l'atome d'azote occupant la position 7.  C'est ainsi que l'on a proposé de remplacer  ce radical par un groupement de     glycéryle.     Néanmoins, les composés ou les associations de  molécules préconisés jusqu'ici pour permettre  une administration plus pratique de la théo  phylline offrent l'inconvénient de faire preuve  d'une alcalinité qui rend toujours cette admi  nistration douloureuse.

   A la théophylline s'ap  parente étroitement, du point de vue de la  structure moléculaire, la théobromine qui est.  la     3,7-diméthyl-xanthine,    et des difficultés  comparables se rencontrent pour l'emploi pra  tique de ce corps.  



  La présente invention a pour objet un  procédé de préparation d'un nouveau dérivé  de la théophylline,     l'iodométhylate    de la     1,3-          diméthyl-    7 -     (fl-diéthylamino-éthyl)-xanthine.     



  Ce procédé est caractérisé par le fait que  l'on ajoute de l'iodure de méthyle à une solu  tion de 1.,3-diméthyl-7-(fl-diéthylamino-éthyl)-         xanthine    dans un solvant organique, par exem  ple l'alcool éthylique ou l'acétone, pour obte  nir un précipité de     l'iodométhylate    de ce com  posé de xanthine.  



  De préférence, on     utilse    l'iodure de mé  thyle à raison d'une molécule du dérivé de  xanthine.  



       L'iodométhyle    obtenu présente un point  de fusion de 234  C; il est peu soluble dans  les solvants organiques, mais soluble dans  l'eau.  



       Il    offre, pour la thérapeutique, l'intérêt  de donner des solutions aqueuses à réaction       neutre,    donc     susceptibles    d'être administrées  sans douleur par la voie parentérale, d'exer  cer une action diurétique bien supérieure à  celle de la théophylline et d'avoir une forte  teneur en iode facilement mobilisable par l'or  ganisme.  



  L'exemple suivant illustre l'invention.       Exemple:     A une solution alcoolique ou     acétonique    de       1,3-diméthyl-7-(fi-diéthylamino-éthyl)        -xan-          thine,    on ajoute une molécule d'iodure de     mé-          th-rle    et on laisse réagir;     l'iodo-méthylate    du  dérivé de xanthine précipite le rendement. dé  passant 90 0%.  



  Pour préparer la     1,3-diméthyl-7-(fi-diéthyl-          amino-éthyl)-xanthine    utilisée comme matière  première, on peut, par exemple, opérer de la  façon suivante:      On dissout une molécule de théophylline       dans        une        solution        aqueuse    à     1%        d'une        molé-          cule    de soude. On ajoute une molécule de chlo  rure de '     ,B-diéthylamino-éthyle    et l'on fait  bouillir pendant 6 heures avec rétrogradation,  tout en agitant.

   On évapore ensuite dans le  vide jusqu'à siccité et l'on reprend par de  l'acétone le résidu sec et pâteux, afin de sépa  rer le composé cherché du chlorure de sodium  qui l'accompagne. On distille la solution     acéto-          nique    pour en chasser le solvant et l'on ob  tient ainsi la     1,3-diméthyl-7-(fl-diéthylamino-          éthvl)-xanthine,    de     formule:     
EMI0002.0015     
    Ce composé se présente sous forme d'une  masse blanche qui fond vers 74  C et est très  soluble dans l'eau, dans l'alcool et dans l'acé  tone.



  A process for the preparation of a substance from the dimethyl-xanthine series. Theophylline or 1,3-dimethylxanthine
EMI0001.0003
    used in therapy, is sparingly soluble in water and attempts have been made to transform it into more soluble derivatives, in particular by substituting appropriate radicals for the hydrogen bonded to the nitrogen atom occupying the 7 position. 'It is thus that it has been proposed to replace this radical by a glyceryl group. Nevertheless, the compounds or combinations of molecules recommended hitherto to allow a more practical administration of theophylline offer the drawback of showing an alkalinity which always makes this administration painful.

   A theophylline is closely related in molecular structure to theobromine that is. 3,7-dimethyl-xanthine, and comparable difficulties are encountered in the practical use of this body.



  The present invention relates to a process for preparing a novel derivative of theophylline, 1,3-dimethyl-7 - (fl-diethylamino-ethyl) -xanthine iodomethylate.



  This process is characterized by the fact that methyl iodide is added to a solution of 1, 3-dimethyl-7- (fl-diethylamino-ethyl) - xanthine in an organic solvent, for example l ethyl alcohol or acetone, to obtain an iodomethylate precipitate of this xanthine compound.



  Preferably, methyl iodide is used in an amount of one molecule of the xanthine derivative.



       The iodomethyl obtained has a melting point of 234 C; it is sparingly soluble in organic solvents, but soluble in water.



       For therapy, it offers the advantage of giving aqueous solutions with a neutral reaction, therefore capable of being administered painlessly by the parenteral route, of exerting a diuretic action much greater than that of theophylline and of having a high iodine content which can be easily mobilized by the body.



  The following example illustrates the invention. Example: To an alcoholic or acetone solution of 1,3-dimethyl-7- (fi-diethylamino-ethyl) -xanthine, one molecule of methyl iodide is added and allowed to react; the iodomethylate of the xanthine derivative precipitates the yield. over 90 0%.



  To prepare the 1,3-dimethyl-7- (fi-diethyl-amino-ethyl) -xanthine used as starting material, one can, for example, operate as follows: A theophylline molecule is dissolved in an aqueous solution of 1% of a soda molecule. One molecule of β-diethylamino-ethyl chloride is added and the mixture is boiled for 6 hours with retrogradation, while stirring.

   It is then evaporated in a vacuum to dryness and the dry, pasty residue is taken up in acetone in order to separate the desired compound from the sodium chloride which accompanies it. The acetone solution is distilled to remove the solvent therefrom and the 1,3-dimethyl-7- (fl-diethylamino-ethvl) -xanthine is thus obtained, of the formula:
EMI0002.0015
    This compound is in the form of a white mass which melts at around 74 C and is very soluble in water, in alcohol and in acetone.
