Abstract

Corticoids of the formula <IMAGE> in which X is fluorine, chlorine or bromine R1 is hydrogen, hydroxyl or acyloxy and R2 is a free or esterified hydroxyl group, are prepared. These compounds are obtained by opening the epoxide ring present in the 11 beta , 12 beta position in appropriate starting compounds using hydrohalic acid. The resulting compounds can be used as antiinflammatory agents.

Description

(54) NEW 12c(-HALO-CORTICOIDS (71) We, SCHERING AKTIF.NGESELLSCHAFT, a Body Corporate organised according to the laws of the Federal Republic of Germany, of Berlin and Bergkamen, the Federal Republic of Germany, do hereby declare the invention, for which we pray that a patent may be granted to us, and the method by which it is to be performed, to be particularly described in and by the following statement:- The present invention is concerned with new 12R-halo-corticoids, with their manufacture and with pharmaceutical preparations containing the 12n-halo-corticoids as active substances.
The present invention provides compounds of the general formula I
in which X represents a fluorine, chlorine or bromine atom, R1 represents a hydrogen atom a hvdroxyl group or an acyloxy group and R2 represents a free or esterified hydroxyl group.
The new corticoids of the general formula I are pharmacologically active substances, which are especially distinguished by having in tonical use a good antiinflammatory activity and causing onlv slight systemic side effects.
The inception and duration of the action of the new corticoids and also their solubilitv in physiologically tolerable solvents are, as is also the case with known corticoids, especially dependent on whether, and if so with what acid, a hydroxyl group in the 17- and/or 21-position(s) is esterified.
As esterified 21-hydroxyl groups represented by R there come into consideration preferably acyloxy groups derived from carboxylic acids containing 1 to 16 carbon atoms, and also acyl groups obtainable from oxygen-containing inorganic acids by the removal of a hydroxyl group, for example sulphate groups or phosphate groups.
Suitable acyloxy groups are, for example, those derived from straight chain or branched, saturated or unsaturated aliphatic mono- or di-carboxylic acids, which may be substituted in the usual manner, for example by hydroxyl groups, amino groups or halogen atoms.
Furthermore, there are suitable as acyloxy groups also groups of cycloaliphatic, aromatic, mixed aromatic-aliphatic or heterocyclic acids, which may also be substituted in the usual manner. As suitable acyloxy groups there may be mentioned, for example, formyloxy, acetoxy, propionyloxy, butyryloxy, pentanoyloxy, hexanoyloxy, octanoyloxy, undecanoyloxy, dimethylacetoxy, trimethylacetoy, diethylacetoxy, tert.butylacetoxy, benzoyloxy, phenacetyloxy, cyclopentylpropionyloxy, hydroxyacetoxy, monochloracetoxy, dichloracetoxy and trichloracetoxy groups, and also dimethylaminoacetoxy, trimethylaminoacetoxy, diethylaminoacetoxy, piperidinoacetoxy, nicotinoyloxy, carboxypropionyloxy and carboxypentanoyloxy groups.
For preparing water-soluble active substances the 21-acyloxy-compounds containing a basic nitrogen group in the acyl group may be converted into the corresponding acid addition salts, for example the hydrochlorides, hydrobromides, sulphates, phosphates, oxalates, tartrates or maleates. Furthermore, the 21-dicarboxylic acid monoesters, and also the sulphuric acid and phosphoric acid esters, may be converted for increasing the solubility in water into their alkali salts, for example the sodium or potassium salts.
Especially preferred esterified hydroxyl groups represented by R2 are acyloxy groups derived from carboxylic acids containing 1 to 8 carbon atoms.
As esterified 17-positioned hydroxyl groups represented by R1 there come into consideration acyloxy groups derived from carboxylic acids that preferably contain 1 to 8 carbon atoms. Especially suitable acyloxy groups are alkanoyloxy groups, for example an acetoxy, propionyloxy, butyryloxy, pentanoyloxy or hexanoyloxy group.
The present invention also provides a process for the manufacture of the new corticoids of the general formula I, wherein the epoxide ring in a compound of the general formula II
in which R1 and R2 have the meanings given above, is opened with hydrogen fluoride, chloride or bromide, respectively, and, if desired, in the resulting compound any ester group is hydrolysed and/or any free hydroxyl group is esterified.
The opening of the epoxide ring in the process of the present invention is carried out in the presence of an inert solvent capable of absorbing a hydrogen halide. Suitable solvents are, for example, lower alcohols, for example methanol, ethanol or isopropanol, ethers, for example diethyl ether, glycol monoinethyl ether, dioxan or tetrahydrofuran, chlorohydrocarbons, for example dichloromethane, chloroform or tetrachlorethylene, dipolar aprotic solvents, for example dimethylformamide, or hexamethyl-phosphoric acid triamide or mixtures of these solvents. The reaction is preferably carried out at a reaction temperature of --50"C. to +5O0C.
The optional subsequent hydrolysis of acyloxy groups present in the 17- and/or 21-position(s) is carried out by the usual methods, for example, by reaction of the esters in aqueous or alcoholic solutions or mixtures of solvents in the presence of strong acids, for example sulphuric acid, hydrochloric acid, para-toluene sulphonic acid or trifluoracetic acid, or by reaction of the esters in aqueous or alcoholic solutions or mixtures of solvents in the presence of alkali alcoholates, alkali hydroxides or alkali carbonates.
If the hydrolysis is carried out under mild conditions it is possible to hydrolyse the 17a,21-diacyloxy-steroids of the general formula I selectively to form the 21 hydroxy-1 7a-acyloxy-steroids.
An optional subsequent esterification of free hydroxyl groups in the 17- and/or 21-position(s) is likewise carried out by methods known per se. Thus, for example, the hydroxy-steroids may be esterified with acyl chlorides or acyl anhydrides in the presence of acids, for example hydrochloric acid, para-toluene sulphonic acid or trifluoroacetic acid. or in the presence of bases, for example potassium carbonate, pyndme, collidine or para-dimethylaminopyridine. On the other hand, it is possible to esterify the hydroxy-compounds with carboxylic acids in the presence of trifluoracetic anhydride. When these esterifications are carried out under mild conditions, as is known, only the primary hydroxyl groups (in the 21-position) are esterified, whereas an optionally present tertiary hydroxyl group (in the 17a-position) is not reacted.
The alkali sulphates of the 21-monosulphuric acid esters can be prepared from the 21-hydroxy-compounds of the general formula I in a manner known per se, for example, by reacting the 21-hydroxy-compounds with sulphur trioxide in pyridine, and converting the sulphuric acid esters so obtained by treatment with alkali bases into the alkali salts.
As already mentioned, the new corticoids are distinguished in topical use by a good anti-inflammatory activity. Thus, for example, (,12a-difluorow ,21-dihydroxy- 16lsg-methyl-' 4-pregnadiene-3,20-dione exhibits in the vasoconstriction test an equally good anti-inflammatory activity as the known 6an9la-difluorO-llJBn21-dihydroxy-l6a methyl-al4-pregnadiene-3,20-dione (German Patent No. 1,211,194).
The vasoconstriction test was carried out as follows: On the backs of voluntary test persons the Stratum corneum was broken up by twenty times tearing off a Tesa film (that is a transparent gummed tape) that had been applied to it, all the films having been applied and torn off from the same place, whereby a pronounced hyperaemia was produced. Within the stripped regions was applied to each of marked areas 4 cm2 in size 50 mg amounts of a salve, which con tained 0.1% and 0.01% by weight, respectively, of the substance to be tested or of the reference substance in a water-oil base. 1, 2, 3 and 4 hours after the application the extent of the vasoconstriction was determined.
In systemic application the new corticoids are considerably weaker in action than the structurally analogous known 9.a-halcgeno-corticoids. Thus, for example, 6a,12a- difluoro-11US,21-dihydroxy-16-methyl-l -pregnadiene-3,20-dione exhibits in the adjuvant oedema test an activity five times weaker than that of 6n,9cu-difluoro-l lp,21- dihydroxy- 161or-methyl-A14-pregnadiene-3,20-dione.
The adjuvant oedema test was carried out as follows: SPF-Rats weighing 130 to 150 gms were injected, in order to produce a source of inflammation, in the rear right hand paw with 0.1 ml of a suspension (obtainable from the American firm Difko) of 0.5% strength of Mycobactenum butyricum.
Before the injection the volumes of the paws of the rats were measured. 24 Hours after the injection the volumes of the paws were again measured in order to determine the extent of the oedema. The rats were then injected subcutaneously with various quantities of the test substance dissolved in a mixture of 29% of benzyl benzoate and 71% of castor oil. After 24 hours the volumes of the paws were again measured.
The control animals were treated in the same manner, but with the difference that they were injected with a benzyl benzoate-castor oil mixture free from the test substance. From the paw volumes so obtained the oedema-inhibiting action was calcu lated as a percentage in the usual manner.
The highly active corticoids hitherto used for the treatment of skin inflamma tions have, in addition to the topical action, always a pronounced systemic action.
These corticoids, even in topical application, are able, owing to absorption. by the inflamed skin or owing to skin damage, to enter the blood stream where as hormone active substances they influence the functions of the body in various ways.
In the case of the topically highly active, but systemically little active, compounds of the present invention the above disadvantage is diminished. They are therefore very well suited for the local treatment of inflammations.
The new compounds of the present invention are suitable in combination with the carriers customarily used in, for example, galenical pharmacy for the local treatment of contact dermatitis, eczemas of very many types, neurodermatitis, erythrodermia, burns, Pruritis vulvae et ani, rosacea, Erythematodes cutaneus, psoriasis, Lichen ruber planus et verrucosus and similar skin diseases.
Furthermore, the corticoids of the present invention are also suitable for the treatment of allergic diseases of the respiratory system, for example rhinitis or bronchial asthma.
The present invention accordingly further provides a pharmaceutical preparation which comprises a compound of the general formula I, in admixture or conjunction with a pharmaceutically suitable carrier. The preparation may be in a form suitable for local application.
The manufacture of the pharmaceutical preparations may be carried out in the usual manner by converting the active substances with suitable additives into the desired forms of application, for example solutions, lotions, salves, creams, plasters or inhalant preparations. The concentration of active substance in the pharmaceutical preparations so formulated depends on the form of application. In the case of lotions and salves it is preferable to use a concentration of active substance of 0.001% to 2% by weight.
The starting compounds of the general formula II used for the process of the present invention may be prepared by methods that are generally known to the expert and are illustrated by way of example for typical representatives in the Examples below.
