Abstract

The compound known as Cimethidin, N-cyano-N'-methyl-N''-[2- {[(5-methylimidazol-4-yl)-methyl]- thio}-ethyl]-guanidine, is made by reacting chlorodiacetyl with ethylene glycol, reacting the resultant ketal hemiketal with N-cyano-N'-methyl- N''-(2-mercaptoethyl)-guanidine to form N-cyano-N'-methyl-N''-[2- (butane-2,3-dionyl)thioethyl]- guanidine ethyleneketal hemiketal, hydrolyzing this to give the corresponding alpha -diketone and condensing the latter with formaldehyde and ammonia to produce Cimethidin, which can be incorporated in pharmaceutical compositions for gastric secretion reduction or inhibition.

Description

SPECIFICATION A Process for Preparing N-Cyano-N'-Methyl N"-[2-{ [(5-Methylimidazol-4-yl )-Methyl]-Thio)- Ethyl]-Guanidine The invention relates to the preparation of N cyano-N'-methyl-N"-[2-([(5-methylimidazol-4- yl)-methyl]-thio)-ethyl]-guanidine (referred to in the following as "Cimethidin") by the condensation of N-cyano-N'-methyl-N"-[2 (butane-2,3-dionyl)-thioethyl]-guanidine with formaldehyde and ammonia.
It is known that Cimethidin can be prepared by reacting 5-methyl-4-[(2-aminoethyl)-thiomethyl]imidazole with N-cyano-N',S-dimethylisothiourea, by reacting N-cyano-N"-[2-( [(5-methylimidazol- 4-yl)-methyl]-thio)-ethyl]-S-methylisothiou rea with methylamine and by reacting N'-methyl-N" [2-( [(5-methylimidazol-4-yl)-methyl]-thio i-ethyl]- thiourea with lead cyanamide (U.S.Patent Specification 3,876,647 and German Offenlegungsschrift 2,344,779); Cimethidin also can be made from N',S-dimethyl-N"-[2-I [(5- methylimidazol-4-yl)-methyi]-thio )-ethyl]-isothiourea and cyanamide (Belgian Patent Specification 832,665) and from 5-methyl-4chloromethylimidazole and N-cyano-N'-methyl N"-(2-mercaptoethyl)-guanidine (Dutch Patent Application 7,51 0,344Y.
Cimethidin inhibits the secretion of gastric acid and of pepsin and shows valuable therapeutic effects in treating duodenal and benign gastric ulcers, recurrent ulcerations and ulcerations arising in stoma, reflux esophagitis and other conditions, where a reduced secretion of gastric acid is desired.
It has been found that Cimethidin can be prepared easily and with a good yield by the condensation of N-cyano-N'-methyl-N"-[2 (butane-2,3-dionyl)-thioethyl3-guanidine, formaldehyde and ammonia. The process according to the invention comprises reacting chlorodiacetyl with ethylene glycol to form the corresponding ketal heliketal, reacting the latter with N-cyano-N'-methyl-N"-(2-mercaptoethyl) guanidine to form the corresponding ketal heliketal of the formula:
subjecting the compound of formula I to acidic hydrolysis to obtain the corresponding a-diketone and then condensing the latter with formaldehyde and ammonia to form the desired Cimethidin.
In carrying out the process of this invention, chlorodiacetyl is first converted to the corresponding ketal hemiketal, preferably by reaction with the ethylene glycol in benzene in the presence of a catalytic amount of ptoluenesulphonic acid and subsequently, after stirring the ketal hemiketal and N-cyano-N'methyl-N"-(2-mercaptoethyl)-guanidine in a lower alcohol, e.g. up to C8, preferably isopropanol, N,N'-dimethyl-formamide or acetonitrile in the presence of 1 to 3 equivalents of sodium or sodium hydride, the precipitate obtained is removed by suction and the mother liquor is evaporated to dryness.The resultant ketal hemiketai as represented by formula I is desirably separated from the residue, e.g. by recrystallisation from an appropriate solvent or by column chromatography, and is then stirred for 2-4 hours at 55 0--570C in acetone with the addition of dilute sulphuric acid. After evaporating the solution to dryness in vacuo, adding 4-6 equivalents of 25% aqueous or ethanolic ammonia and 1-1.5 equivalents of formaldehyde, while stirring the mixture for 1020 hours at 0"--5 OC, the solution is evaporated to dryness and Cimethidin can be isolated from the residue, for instance, by recrystallisation from an appropriate solvent or by column chromatography. The main advantages of this process are the small number of reaction steps, as well as the simplicity of the preparation.The invention resides also in Cimethidin when made by the process of the invention and in pharmaceutical compositions for use in reducing or inhibiting gastric secretion and in treating conditions where reduced gastric secretion is desired, comprising at least one carrier substance and Cimethidin. The invention. is illustrated by the following Examples, which are given by way of expianation rather than limitation.
Example 1 A solution of 4.82 g (0.04 mole) of chlorodiacetyl, 5.5 g (0.088 mole! of ethylene glycol and a catalytic quantity ofptoluenesulphonic acid in 250 ml of dry benzene was heated for 10 hours under reflux. By evaporating the solution to dryness in vacuo, a crude product was obtained from which, after purification (crystallisation, column chromatography), pure chlorodiacetyl ethyleneketal hemiketal was obtained, m.p.
99 101 C.
Example 2 0.484 g (0.021 mole) of sodium was dissolved in 60 ml of isopropanol and 1.11 g (0.007 mole) of N-cyano-N'-methyl-N11-(2-mercaptoethyl)- guanidine were added. After stirring for 30 minutes at room temperature, 1.59 g (0.007 mole) of chlorodiacetyl ethyleneketal hemiketal were added and stirring was continued for 5 hours at the boiling point of the solution. The precipitate obtained was removed by suction, the mother liquor was evaporated to dryness in vacuo and, after purification (crystallisation, column chromatography), N-cyano-N'-methyl-N"-[2 (butane-2,3-dionyl)-thioethyl]-guanidine ethyleneketal hemiketal was obtained from the residue in the form of white hygroscopic crystals, m.p. < 1200C.
Example 3 Analogously to the process described in Example 2, from 0.92 g (0.021 mole) of 55% sodium hydride, 1.11 g (0.007 mole) of N-cyano N'-methyl-N"-(2-mercaptoethyl)-guanidine and 1.59 g (0.007 mole) of chlorodiacetyl ethyleneketal hemiketal in 20 ml of N,N'dimethylformamide at 200--250C for 30 hours, N-cyano-N'-methyl-N"-[2-(butane-2,3-dionyl)- thioethyl]-guanidine ethyleneketal hemiketal was obtained.
Example 4 Analogously to the process described in Example 2, from 0.31 g (0.007 mole) of 55% sodium hydride, 1.11 g (0.007 mole) of N-cyano N'-methyl-N"-(2-mercaptoethyl)-guanidine and 1.59 g (0.007 mole) of chlorodiacetyl ethyleneketal hemiketal in 50 ml of acetonitrile at the boiling point of the mixture, N-cyano-N' methyl-N"-[2-(butane-2,3-dionyl)thioethyl]- guanidine ethyleneketal hemiketal was obtained.
Example 5 Analogously to the process described in Example 2, from 0.161 g (0.007 mole) of sodium, 1.11 g (0.007 mole) of N-cyano-N'-methyl-N"-(2- mercaptoethyl)-guanidine and 1.59 g (0.007 mole) of chlorodiacetyl ethyleneketal hemiketal in 20 ml of ethanol at room temperature, N-cyano N'-methyl-N"-[2-(butane-2,3-dionyl)-thioethyl]- guanidine ethyleneketal hemiketal was obtained.
Example 6 A mixture of 0.35 g (0.001 mole) of N-cyano N'-methyí-N"-[2-(butane-2,3-dionyl)-thioethyl]- guanidine ethyleneketal hemiketal, 50 ml of acetone and 15 ml of 1% sulphuric acid was heated to 550--570C for 2-4 hours and then evaporated to dryness in vacuo. The residue was dissolved in 2 ml of water or ethanol and, while at 00--50C, 0.5--0.7 ml (0.007-0.009 mole) of a 25% aqueous or ethanolic solution of ammonia and subsequently 0.08-0.12 ml (0.001- 0.001 5 mole) of 40% formaldehyde were added dropwise and the reaction mixture was stirred for a further 10-20 hours.
