Description

SPECIFICATION 3-Aryl-3-aryloxypropylamines This invention relates to 3-aryl-3-aryloxypropylamines, to a process for preparing them, to their use and to pharmaceutical preparations containing them.
The present invention provides 3-aryl-3-aryloxypropylamines of the general formula (I)
and their pharmaceutically acceptable acid addition salts, wherein R', R2, R4 and R5 are hydrogen or lower alkyl, R3 is hydrogen, lower alkyl or benzyl, Ar is phenyl optionally substituted by one or more halogen, trifluoromethyl, lower alkyl, lower alkoxy, nitro or amino groups and Ar1 is methylsulphinyl-, methylsulphonyl- or cyano-substituted phenyl, 2- or 4-pyridyl, 2-pyrazinyl, 2-quinolinyl, 2-thienyi or 2thiazolyl.
The invention also provides process for preparing a compound of general formula (I) or a pharmaceutically acceptable acid addition salt thereof, which comprises reacting an anion of an alcohol of general formula (II)
(where Ar, R1, R2, R3, R4 and R5 are as defined above) with a halo compound of general formula (III) XAr' (Ill) [where X is fluorine and Arl is a methylsulphinyl-, methyl- sulphonyl- or cyano-substituted phenyl radical or X is fluorine, chlorine or bromine (preferably fluorine) and Ar' is 2- or 4-pyridyl, 2-pyrazinyl, 2-quinolinyl, 2-thienyl or 2-thiazolyl. The reaction may be carried out in a dipolar aprotic solvent.
Examples of dipolar aprotic solvents include dimethylsulphoxide, dimethylformamide, hexamethyiphosphoric triamide and sulpholane. Preferably the solvent is dimethylsulphoxide. The anion of the alcohol of general formula (II) is preferably formed by reacting the alcohol with potassium or sodium hydride or an alkyl or phenyl lithium (e.g. butyl lithium) in a compatible dipolar aprotic solvent. Preferably the alcohol is reacted with sodium hydride.
The process of the invention can be carried out at convenient temperatures e.g. 0 to 1000C (for example room temperature); there is generally no need to use reflux temperatures. Good yields of products are generally obtained in relatively short reaction times (e.g. within two to three hours).
If in the process described above the compound of the general formula (I) is obtained as an acid addition salt, such as a pharmaceutically acceptable acid addition salt or an acid addition salt such as an oxalate, the free base can be obtained by basifying a solution of the acid addition salt. Conversely, if the product of the process is a free base a pharmaceutically acceptable acid addition salt may be obtained by dissolving the free base in a suitable organic solvent and treating the solution with an acid, in accordance with the conventional procedures for preparing acid addition salts from base compounds.
Examples of acid addition salts are those formed from inorganic and organic acids, such as sulphuric, hydrochloric, hydrobromic, phosphoric, tartaric, fumaric, maleic, citric acetic, formic, methanesulphonic and p-toluenesulphonic acids.
Once a compound of general formula (I) is obtained, if desired it can be converted into another compound of general formula (I) methods. For example, a 3-aryl-3-aryloxypropylamine of formula (I) in which R3 and R4 are methyl can be converted to the compound in which one group is methyl and the other hydrogen by treatment with cyanogen bromide or ethyl or phenyl chloroformate followed by basic hydrolysis.
The compounds of general formula (I) possess one or more asymmetric carbon atoms, depending upon the particular substituents. The compounds can therefore exist in various stereochemical forms. It will be realised that if the starting material of formula (II) is a mixture of isomers the product of formula (I) will also be a mixture of isomers which may be separated, if required, by standard procedures. If the starting material is a single isomer then the product will also be a single isomer.
The term "lower" as used herein means that the radical referred to contains 1 to 6 carbon atoms.
The radical preferably contains 1 to 4 carbon atoms. Examples of lower alkyl radicals include methyl, ethyl, propyl and butyl. Examples of lower alkoxy radicals include methoxy, ethoxy, propoxy and butoxy.
Examples of lower alkenyl radicals include allyl and methallyl. When R1, R2 and/or R3 represent lower alkyl, the lower alkyl group is preferably a straight chain radical such as methyl, ethyl, n-propyl or nbutyl although R3 may also be, for example, a branched chain lower alkyl group such as isopropyl. R1, R2 and R5 are preferably hydrogen.
The compounds of general formula (I) and their pharmaceutically acceptable acid addition salts, including the novel compounds of the invention, generally possess pharmacological activity. In particular the compounds exhibit activity on the central nervous system, e.g. as antidepressants, as indicated by one or more of the standard pharmacological test procedures such as the reserpine hypothermia procedure based upon B. M. Askew, Life Sciences (1963), 1,725-730, the inhibition of noradrenaline or 5-hydroxytryptamine uptake in rat brain slices, the potentiation and prolongation of the effects of amphetamine and the modification of the effects of p-chloroamphetamine.For example, N-methyl-3-(2-pyridyloxy)-3-phenylpropylamine, a representative compound of the invention, in the reserpine hypothermia procedure produced a rise in rectal temperature compared to the control of 8.70C at 10 mg/kg and 1 0.7 OC at 30 mg/kg.
The invention further provides a method of treating depression which comprises administering to a warm blooded mammal animal, particularly a human, a therapeutically effective amount of a compound of the invention. The invention also provides a pharmaceutical composition comprising a compound of the invention in association with a pharmaceutically acceptable carrier. Any suitable carrier known in the art can be used to prepare the pharmaceutical compositions. In such a composition, the carrier may be a solid, liquid or mixture of a solid and a liquid. Solid form compositions include powders, tablets and capsules. A solid carrier can be one or more substances which may also act as flavouring agents, lubricants, solubilisers, suspending agents, binders or tabletdisintegrating agents; it can also be an encapsulating material.In powders the carrier is a finely divided solid which is in admixture with the finely divided active ingredient. In tablets the active ingredient is mixed with a carrier having the necessary binding properties in suitable proportions and compacted in the shape and size desired. The powders and tablets preferably contain from 5 to 99, preferably 1080% of the active ingredient. Suitable solid carriers are magnesium carbonate, magnesium stearate, talc, sugar, lactose, pectin, dextrin, starch, gelatin, tragacanth, methyl cellulose, sodium carboxymethyl cellulose, a iow melting wax, and cocoa butter. The term "composition " is intended to include the formulation of an active ingredient with encapsulating material as carrier to give a capsule in which the active ingredient (with or without other carriers) is with it. Similarly cachets are included.
Sterile liquid form compositions include sterile solutions, suspensions, emulsions, syrups and elixirs. The active ingredients can be dissolved or suspended in a pharmaceutically acceptable sterile liquid carrier, such as sterile water, sterile organic solvent or a mixture of both. Preferably a liquid carrier is one suitable for parenteral injection. Where the active ingredient is sufficiently solubie it can be dissolved in normal saline as a carrier; if it is too insoluble for this it can often be dissolved in a suitable organic solvent, for instance aqueous propylene glycol or polyethylene glycol solutions.
Aqueous propylene glycol containing from 10 to 75% of the glycol by weight is generally suitable. In other instances other compositions can be made by dispersing the fineiy-divided active ingredient in aqueous starch or sodium carboxymethyl cellulose solution, or in a suitable oil, for instance arachis oil.
Liquid pharmaceutical compositions which are sterile solutions or suspensions can be utilised by intramuscular, intraperitoneal or subcutaneous injection. In many instances a compound is orally active and can be administered orally either in liquid or solid composition form.
Preferably the pharmaceutical composition is in unit dosage form, e.g. as tablets or capsules. In such form, the composition is sub-divided in unit doses containing appropriate quantities of the active ingredient; the unit dosage forms can be packaged compositions, for example packeted powders or vials or ampoules. The unit dosage form can be a capsule, cachet or tablet itself, or it can be the appropriate number of any of these in package form. The quantity of the active ingredient in a unit dose of composition may be varied or adjusted from 5 mg. or less to 500 mg. or more, according to the particular need and the activity of the active ingredient. The invention also includes the compounds in the absence of the carrier where the compounds are in unit dosage form.
