(54) PARENTERAL ADMINISTRATION OF
ANTHELMINTIC DERIVATIVES OF
BENZIMIDAZOLES
(71) We, E.R. SQUIBB & SONS INC., a Corporation organised and existing under the laws of the State of Delaware, United States of America, of
Lawrenceville-Princeton Road, Princeton, New Jersey, United States of America, 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:- This invention relates to the parenteral administration of anthelmintic derivatives of benzimidazoles.
Various benzimidazole compounds are known for their use as anthelmintic agents. For example, U.S. Patent No. 3,574,845 to Actor et al and assigned to
Smith Kline discloses 5(6)-benzene ring substituted benzimidazole-2-carbamate derivatives including 5(6) - methylthio - 2 - carboethoxyaminobenzimidazole and various 5(6) - alkyl - 2 - carbomethoxyaminobenzimidazoles.
U.S. Patents Nos. 3,929,821 and 4,002,640 to Beard et al and assigned to
Syntex disclose various 5(6)-benzene ring substituted benzimidazole-2-carbamate derivatives including 5(6) - alkylsulfinyl - 2 carbomethoxyaminobenzimidazoles, as well as 5(6) - benzylsulfinyl - 2 carbomethoxyaminobenzimidazole, 5(6) - phenylsulfinyl - 2 carbomethoxyaminobenzimidazole, 5(6) - cycloalkylsulfinyl - 2 carbomethoxyaminobenzimidazoles and 5(6) - cyclopropylmethylsulfinyl - 2 carbomethoxyaminobenzimidazole.
The benzimidazoles mentioned above are said to be active orally.
Other benzimidazoles useful as anthelmintic agents are disclosed in U.S.
Patents Nos. 3,929,822, 3,929,823, 3,929,824, 3,935,209, 3,965,113 and 4,005,202 all to Beard et al and assigned to Syntex; U.S. Patents Nos. 3,682,952 to Actor et al, 3,578,676 and 3,694,455 to Dunn, 3,915,986 and 3,969,526 to Gyurik, all assigned to Smith Kline; and U.S. Patent No. 3,738,993 to Haugwitz et al assigned to
Squibb.
The aforementioned patents teach that the benzimidazole compounds disclosed therein are useful orally in treating helminthiasis.
U.S. Patents Nos. 3,954,791 to Loewe et al and 3,928,375 to Duwel et al, both assigned to Hoechst disclose 2 - carbalkoxy - amino - benzimidazole - 5(6) phenyl and phenylthio ethers which are said to be active perorally and subcutaneously.
In accordance with the present invention, it is indeed surprising that sulfoxide derivatives of benzimidazoles herein described may be effectively administered parenterally in the treatment or prevention of helminthiasis inasmuch as most benzimidazole compounds are active only upon oral administration.
The present invention provides a method for treating or inhibiting helminthiasis by parenterally administering to a non-human mammalian host a sulfoxide derivative of a benzimidazole having the structure
or such a compound in physiologically acceptable salt form, wherein R1 is lower alkyl or phenyl-lower alkyl, and R2 is lower alkyl or a group of formula
where R is hydrogen, lower alkyl, halogen, lower alkoxy or nitro, R4 and R5 are the same or different and are hydrogen or lower alkyl. R6 is cycloalkyl m is 0 to 3. and n is 0 to 3, m+n being not more than 5.
The term "lower alkyl" as used herein means straight or branched chain aliphatic hydrocarbon radicals having up to and including seven carbon atoms, preferably one to five carbons, such as methyl, ethyl, propyl, isopropyl, n-butyl, isobutyl, t-butyl, amyl, hexyl and heptyl.
The term "lower alkoxy" as used herein refers to lower alkyl groups as defined above attached to an oxygen atom.
The term "halogen" as employed herein refers to chlorine, bromone, iodine, or fluorine with chlorine and bromine being preferred.
The term "phenyl lower alkyl" as used herein refers to lower alkyl groups as defined above having a phenyl substituent, such as benzyl.
The term "cycloaklyl" includes cyclic hydrocarbon groups containing 3 to 12 carbons. Examples of suitable cycloalkyl groups including cyclopropyl, cyclobutyl, cyclopentyl, cyclohexyl, cycloheptyl, cyclooctyl, cyclodecyl and cyclododecyl.
(CH2)m and (H2)n represent a single bond or straight or branched chain alkylene radicals containing 3 or less carbons in the longest normal chain.
Preferred are those compounds wherein R is methyl, ethyl, propyl or benzyl and R is n-propyl, i-propyl, n-butyl- or (2-methylpropyl), or a group of the aforesaid formulae wherein m is 0, n is 0 or 1, R4 is hydrogen or methyl, R5 is hydrogen and R6 is cyclopropyl, cyclopentyl, cyclohexyl or cyclooctyl.

The benzimidazole derivatives of structure C may be prepared by thiocyanation of o-nitroaniline to yield 4-thiocyano-2-nitroaniline (1). This product is then subjected to a sodium borohydride reduction to yield the corresponding 4-mercapto-2-nitroaniline (II). The mercapto derivative may be isolated or used directly for the next step. Thus, to the reaction mixture there is added the haloalkyl cycloalkane III to furnish the sulfide IV which preferably is converted to its acetyl derivative.

Preparations, 1968, p. 493).
The resulting sulfoxides V may be purified by crystallization and then reduced to the corresponding o-phenylene diamine VI. Either chemical or catalytic reduction may be used. For the chemical reduction the procedure outlined by Sandler and
Caro (Organic Functional Group Preparations, 1968, pp. 339-340) is preferred. The final step in the synthesis of C, namely ring closure of VI to furnish C, can be achieved in various ways. Whereas refluxing of VI with the isolated thiourea derivative VII in alcohols such as methanol or ethanol will furnish C, the preferred method of preparing C is by forming VII in situ and then without isolating it adding
VI and refluxing it for 30 minutes to 5 hours to yield the desired product.
An alternative route toward the intermediate VI offers the reaction of VIII with the requisite mercaptoalkyl cycloalkane IX to yield X. Here, in contrast to the alkylation step described above, (i.e. II ,IV) the reaction temperature has to be higher and the reaction periods have to be longer. Oxidation of X yields the sulfoxide XI which on reduction furnishes the diamine VI.
Compounds of structure C may also be synthesized bv converting intermediate IV into the o-phenylenediamine XII as outlined above which is then cyclized to the benzimidazole XIII. The final step, i.e., oxidation of XIII, yields C.
Examples of suitable haloalkyl cycloalkanes of formula III suitable for use herein include the following.
Cycloprane
Cyclobutanes
Cyclopentanes
Cyclohexanes
Cycloheptanes
Cyclooctanes
Cyclononanes
Cyclodecane
Cycloundecanes
A great variety of haloalkyl cycloalkanes III are commercially available. In some cases the requisite haloalkyl cycloalkane has to be synthesized. for example, from the corresponding alcohols by standard reactions.
In certain instances, the compounds of formula A, B and C form physiologically acceptable acid-addition salts with inorganic and organic acids.
These salts frequently provide useful means for isolating the products from reaction mixtures by forming the salt in a medium in which it is insoluble. The free base may then be obtained by neutralization. Then any other salt may again be formed from the free base and the appropriate inorganic acid. Illustrative are the hydrohalides, especially the hydrochloride and hydrobromide which are preferred, sulfate, nitrate, tartrate, methanesulfonate, benzenesulfonate, and toluensulfonate.
In accordance with the method of the present invention, the compounds of formula A, B and C are administered parenterally, such as subcutaneously, intravenously, intramuscularly or interperitoneally to a non-human mammalian host in the treatment and/or prevention of helminthiasis. Helminthiasis is a parasitic disease which causes widespread and often serious infection in domesticated animals such as swine, horses, cattle, dogs, cats and sheep. The compounds administered parenterally are useful in treating infections caused by haemonchus, Ostertagia, Trichostrongylus, Cooperia, Dictyocaulus,
Nematodirus, Bunostomum, Stronglyoides, Oesophagostomum, Trichuris,
Moniezia and liver flukes. In preparing injectable compositions for use in treating or inhibiting helminthiasis in mammalian species according to the invention, the compounds are mixed with a non-toxic, physiologically acceptable non-pyrogenic injectable carrier selected from sterile water (e.g. in the form of sterile saline solution), benzyl benzoate, 1,3-butylene glycol, ethyl oleate, caster oil, glyceryl triacetate, sesame oil, mixtures thereof, and sesame oil: benzyl benzoate (e.g. 1:1).
The parenteral product will usually take the form of a suspension containing from about 1 to about 10% by weight of the compound of formula A, B or C.
The above injectable compositions may also include a non-toxic physiologically acceptable non-pyrogenic suspending agent. Thus, where a nonoily carrier is employed such as water, suspending agents such as carboxymethyl cellulose, methyl cellulose, polyvinyl pyrrolidone or non-antigenic gelatin may be employed. Where the carrier employed is an oil, aluminum monostearate may be employed as a suspending agent. The suspending agent may be employed in amounts ranging from about 0.05 to about 2%, and preferably from about 0.1 to about 1% by volume of carrier (the above % may be based on the weight of the carrier where the carrier is qs to 100 g).
A non-toxic, non-pyrogenic wetting agent may also be included in the injectable compositions in amounts ranging from about 0.005 to about 0.2% and preferably from about 0.01 to about 0.1 /" by weight of the carrier. Examples of suitable wetting agents include non-ionic surfactants such as polyoxyethylene sorbitan monostearate, polyoxyethylene sorbitan monooleate (e.g. (Tweens) Trade
Mark) and fatty acid monoglycerides or diglycerides. Other surfactants suitable for use herein are disclosed in the published literature, for example, Kirk-Othmer,
Encyclopedia of Chemical Technology, Second Edition, Volum 19, page 507 et seq.
The compounds of Formula A may also be administered percutaneously i.e. by absorption through the skin for systemic transmission.
In preparing such percutaneous compositions according to the invention, the anthelmintic compounds are mixed with a non-toxic physiologically acceptable carrier which is effective in penetrating the skin, whereby the compounds are absorbed by the animal through the skin and transmitted systemically within the animal. A wide range of appropriate carriers may be employed to pass the compound through the skin. The composition employed may be a cream. A liquid composition, however, is particularly convenient to use, e.g. facilitating measuring out doses, and facilitating systemic absorbance via the skin. Thus, a solution or suspension of the compound in a liquid carrier is preferred. Solutions are especially good for transmitting the compound through the skin and are therefore most preferred. The liquid carrier preferably comprises one or more liquids selected from hydrocarbons (e.g., aromatic hydrocarbons, such as an aromatic hydrocarbon fraction of boiling point 13-250"C, e.g., 18-220"C, xylene, benzene or toluene, or paraffins, such as those of 6-20 carbon atoms), halogenated aliphatic hydrocarbons (e.g., carbon tetrachloride), ketones (e.g., cyclohexanone or 2-butanone), esters (e.g., ethyl acetate, ethyl benzoate or triacetin), ethers (e.g., diisopropyl ether or tetrahydrofuran), alcohols (e.g., alkanols of 2-8 carbon atoms, such as butyl alcohol, amyl alcohol or isopropyl alcohol, or glycols, such as monopropylene glycol), amides (e.g., dimethylformamide), sulphones (e.g., dimethyl sulphone or sulpholane) and sulphoxides (e.g., dimethyl sulphoxide). In many cases a mixture of liquids is desirable. Preferably the liquid carrier comprises one or more liquids selected from hydrocarbons (e.g., aromatic hydrocarbons especially xylene), alcohols (e.g., isopropyl alcohol or amyl alcohol) and sulphoxides (e.g., dimethyl sulphoxide).
Water tends to be ineffective as a liquid carrier for passing the compound through the skin of the animal. Accordingly, the carrier in the liquid compositions preferably comprises an organic liquid.
The viscosity of liquid compositions may be increased over what it would otherwise be by including thickeners which increase the viscosity. This may be desirable in order to retard or prevent the composition from running off the animal.
The additives may include, for example, a surface active agent, an animal fat or wax, e.g., lanolin, a mineral oil, e.g., liquid paraffin, a vegetable oil, e.g., peanut oil, olive oil, corn oil or castor oil, or a polymer, e.g., a hydrocarbon polymer such as polyisobutene.
The surface active agents may comprise anionic compounds for example, soaps, fatty sulphate esters, such as dodecyl sodium sulphate, fatty aromatic sulphonates such as alkyl-benzene sulphonates or butyl-naphthalene sulphonates, more complex fatty sulphonates such as the amide condensation product of oleic acid and N-methyl taurine or the sodium sulphonate of dioctyl succinate.
The surface active agents may also comprise non-ionic surface active agents such as for example condensation products of fatty acids, fatty alcohols or fatty polyhydric alcohols, or the products obtained from the latter by condensation with ethylene oxide, or the products known as block copolymers of ethylene oxide and propylene oxide. The surface active agents may also comprise cationic agents such as, for example, cetyl trimethylammonium bromide.
The term "surface active agent" is used in the broad sense to cover materials variously called wetting agents, emulsifying agents and dispersing agents.
The composition may contain substances whose taste deters other animals from licking the composition off the animal treated. An example of such a substance is bitter aloes.
Generally, additives facilitating the use in pour-on formulations of other materials, e.g., systemic insecticides, active on animal physiology may be of use also in the present composition.
In general, in carrying out the method of the invention, the parenteral or percutanoeus composition described above will be administered to animals in a single dose to provide from about 1 to about 100 mg active compound per kilogram of animal body weight. It is preferred to employ it in the range of 2.525 mg per kilogram of body weight. The compounds may be divided into a plurality of smaller doses given over one or more days, for example, up to 14 days.
The following examples are provided for illustrative purposes and may include particular features of the invention. All temperatures are in degrees centigrade.

Example 2
Testing of Parenteral Formulation of [5-[(n-propyl)
sulfinyl]-1H-benzimidazol-2-yl]carbamic
acid, methyl ester
The following test is carried out to determine the effectiveness of treating sheep infected with gastrointestinal nematodes by subcutaneously administering a single dose of an aqueous suspension of [5 - [(n - propyl)sulfinyl] - I H benzimidazol - 2 - ylicarbamic acid, methyl ester prepared in Example 1 so as to inject 10 mg of the above benzimidazole compound per kg of body weight of the test animal.
Egg per gram of feces (EPG) counts are conducted 2--4 days (avg. 3) prior to subcutaneously administering the above benzimidazole compound in order to determine the degree of parasitism of the test animal. Generally, animals are used which have at least 10,000 eggs per gram of feces although, on occasion, lambs with 8-9,000 eggs per gram can be used. An average pretreatment EPG is calculated for the test animal and medication is given according to individual body weight (10 mg/kg).
EPG's are conducted daily during the week the animal is on test and the final three (3) EPG's are used to calculated an average post-treatment EPG. The percent reduction in the EPG count for a given compound is calculated by taking the average pretreatment EPG and dividing this figure into the average posttreatment EPG and subtracting the quotient from 100.
The [5 - [(n - propyl)sulfinyl] - 1H - benzimidazol - 2 - yl]carbamic acid, methyl ester in the form of an aqueous suspension reduces the fecal egg count (EPG) by 70%, when administered subcutaneously at 10 mg/kg.
