Description

SPECIFICATION Anti-ulcer compositions The present invention relates to anti-ulcer compositions.
The present invention provides a pharmaceutical composition for the treatment of ulcers in which the active principle is a benzyiurea of benzylthiourea having the general formula (I):
wherein R' is halogen, alkyl or alkoxy (preferably lower alkyl, alkoxy); n is an integer from 0 to 3 and when n is 2 or 3 the substituents R' are preferably the same; X is oxygen or sulphur; and R2 is alkyl or alkenyl linear branched or cyclic, and preferably 1 to 6 carbon atoms.
With few exceptions, the compounds (I) have a clear anti-ulcer activity in various species of animals and against ulcers of diverse etiology.
The activity of some of, the compounds (I) is greater than that of cymetidine (Tagamet, Registered Trade Mark) which is today one of the most successful anti-ulcer compounds.
The present compounds generally have a low toxicity and minor secondary effects, as well as a poor activity on the central nervous system.
Compounds having the urea of thiourea function have been use- for the treatment of ulcers have been used in recent years, following the discovery by Smith Kline and French Laboratories Ltd of the H2 antagonists Burimamide and Metiamide (2), predecessors of Cymetidine.
Apart from Smith Kline and French Ltd, other laboratories, such as Beecham Group Ltd and John Wyeth and Brother Ltd, have put forward compounds said to have an anti-ulcer activity and containing the urea of particularly the thiourea function.
The use of a heterocyclic ring, almost always aromatic, attached directly or thorough a short aliphatic chain, to the urea orthiourea function, is a characteristic of all these known compounds. In the cases of bu rimamide and metiamide, the imidazolyl ring ol histamine has been used, while in the other cases, a pyridine ring is normally used, sometimes joined to a piperidine ring.
From a structure-activity point of view, the novelty of the present compounds with anti-ulcer activity resides in the presence of a benzene ring joined to the urea orthiourea function through a methylene group.
Some of the compounds (I) have been described before in the literature, as indicated in the following Tables I and II, and although in some cases diuretic orantiviral activities are cited, none of them referto the anti-ulcer properties.
The synthesis of the present benzylureas and ben zylthioureas is normally carried out by the reaction of equimolar amounts of a substituted amine with the appropriate isocyanate or isothiocyanate, optionally in the presence of a solvent such as diethyl ether, methanol, ethanol, isopropyl alcohol, benzene, toluene or a chlorinated solvent.
This reaction can be represented as follows:
wherein R', R2, n and X have meanings previously given.
The compounds (I) can also be prepared by reacting the appropriate amine with a substituted benzyl isocyanate or isothiocyanate, optionally in the pres ence of a solvent.
This reaction can be represented as follows:
wherein R', R2, n and X has meanings previously given.
The reactions can be carried out over a wide temperature range, from 0 C to the boiling point of the solvent.
In the absence of a solvent, the addition should be effected carefully, since the reactions are rather exothermic; this addition should preferably be effected ata low temperature.
In the presence of a solvent, in order to accelerate the reaction, the temperature can be raised to the boiling point thereof.
Isolation ofthe product is generally rather simple, since all the products are crystalline and can be isolated by filtration, once the reaction mixture has been cooled.
In some cases it may be necessary to induce the crystallization, by seeding with crystals of the previously obtained compound, or by scraping with a glass rod.
The crystallized product of the reaction is highly pure, though recrystallization can be carried out with a suitable solvent if desired.
The following non-limiting Examples serve to illustrate the method of obtaining the urea and thioureas. Identification codes beginning "ITA" are given which are used further on in this specification.
Example I: N-benzyl-N'-ethylurea (I TA -234).
To a solution of 5.0 g (0.0467 mol) of benzylamine in 20 mi of anhydrous benzene, 3.7 ml (0.0467 mol) of ethyl isocyanate was slowly added. The reaction was exothermic. It was stirred for 2 hours at room temperature and allowed to stand overnight in a refrigerator. 7.6 g (92%) of a white crystalline solid mp 100.5-101 "C were obtained, by filtration.
Two recrystallizations with methanol raised the melting point to 105-106'C.

To a solution of 2.7 g (0.047 mol) of allylamine in 25 ml of anhydrous benzene, 7.0 g (0.047 mol) of benzyl isothiocyanate was slowly added. The reaction was exothermic. The mixture was stirred for3 hours at room temperature and after cooling to 0 C, crystallization was induced by scratching with a glass rod. The white crystalline solid which precipitated was collected by filtration and washed with benzene, giving 8.0 g (83%) of crystals, mp 91-93 C.

To a stirred solution of 7.1 g (0.057 mol) of o-fluorobenzylamine cooled at 0 C,4.5 ml (0.057 mol) of ethyl isocyanate was slowly added. The reaction was very exothermic and, after the addition, the crystalline mass thereby formed was washed with benzene and dried, giving 9.8 g (87%) of a white crystalline solid, mp 124.5-126 C.

In order to study the anti-ulcer activity of the compounds, gastric ulcers were induced in rats by administration of indomethacin using the methods Bonoma L.: Arzneimittel Forschung2l (1971) 1812-15 and Canestrini C.: Boll. Chim. Farm 114 (1975) 393-400. The protection afforded by the compounds (I) against gastric ulcers is shown in Table Ill and was evaluated by administering orally of a dose of 100 mg/kg of the compound to wistar rats.
More particularly, protection against the ulcerogenic effect of indomethacin was evaluated following the technique described by Bhargraveet al: Europ. J. Pharm.22 (1973)191 and by Canestrini etal (op cit), and killing the animals, 7 hours after oral administration of 20 mg/kg or the antiulcer compound. The anti-ulcer activity has been expressed in this in % of protection, using as a reference a product of proven activity, such as Zolimidine Martindale-The Extra Pharmacoposia, 27th Ed. (1977) (Pharmaceutical Press) page 1831.

Selecting six of these compounds further new anti-ulcer activity tests were made, to determine the effective doses to 50% (ED50), when gastric ulcers were induced by indomethacin, by stress and cold (Takargi K.: Jap. J. Pharmacol. 19 (1964) 327) and by piloric ligature (Shay, H.: Kamarow, S. A.; Fells, S.
S.; Meranze, A.; Groenstein, M.; Siplet, H.; Gastroenterology5,43 (1945)) and when duodenal ulcers were induced by cysteamine (Selya, H.; Szabo, S.; Nature244,458 (1973).
Two species of animals, rats and mice, were tested, using, for all tests, cymetidine as the reference standard.
The results are shown in Table IV, and confirm the high anti-ulcer power of these compounds in different species of animals and in ulcers having different origins, exceeding the effect obtained with cymetidine.
