AAA Compounds C, H, J, K, V, X, Z, EE, XX and, especially, A and B are of particular importance.
The letters A to AAA are allocated to the compounds for easy reference later in the specification, e.g. in the table and in the Examples.
The compounds have valuable pharmacological properties, in particular properties which are indicative of oustanding utiiity in the treatment of arthritic disorders such as rheumatoid arthritis.
For example, in tests, compounds of formula 1, when administered to mice orally at the doses shown in the following Table I, reduced by 50% the inhibition of migration of incubated mouse macrophage cells. This is a measure of inhibition or reduction of the levels of lymphokines and is indicative of utility in the treatment of arthritic patients.
TABLE 1
Test Oral Dose (mg/kg Compound Animal Body Weight) 2 A 10 20 B 12 C 11 18 H 11 J 5 7 K 35 V 37 X 37 Z 50 EE 10 XX 35 Furthermore, in laboratory tests, the compounds have been shown to inhibit the deterioration of joints in the iimbs of rabbits, cavies and rats. These results are particularly important because compounds currently employed in the treatment of arthritic disorders are primarily antiinflammatories and do not possess the said ability to inhibit joint deterioration.
The beneficial properties of the compounds of formula i are enhanced by the fact that they have only very low mammalian toxicity.
The compounds of formula I may be prepared by the application or adaptation of known methods.
Thus a feature of the present invention, the compounds of formula I are prepared by the reaction of compounds of the general formula: R1-NH2 II (wherein R' is as hereinbefore defined) with compounds of the general formula:
(wherein R2 and R3 are as hereinbefore defined and R5 represents an alkyl group of 1 to 5 carbon atoms, preferably with a straight chain, e.g. ethyl), generally at temperatures between 0 and 2500 C, preferably between 1000 and 2000 C, optionally in the presence of an inert solvent. Suitable inert solvents include aromatic hydrocarbons, e.g. toluene, aliphatic ethers, aliphatic nitriles and aliphatic amides, e.g. dimethylacetamide.
As will be evident to those skilled in the art, the process for the preparation of compounds of formula I by the reaction together of compounds of formulae II and lli is liable to lead to mixtures of products if the value of one or more of the substituents R4 is such that side reactions can occur, for example amino, hydroxy or alkylamino. In such circumstances it may be preferable to prepare the desired compound of formula I by the interconversion of another compound of formula I. For example, amino groups can be formed by reduction of nitro groups, hydroxy groups can be formed by the reduction of benzyloxy groups, and alkylamino groups can be formed by the reduction of N-benzyloxycarbonyl-N-alkyiamino groups.
Thus, as a feature of the present invention, a compound of formula I wherein at least one of the substituents R4 represents an amino, hydroxy or straight- or branched-chain alkylamino group containing from 1 to 6 carbon atoms, any other substituents being as hereinbefore defined, are prepared by the conversion of the corresponding compound of formula I wherein at least one of the substituents R4 represents a nitro, benzyloxy or N-benzyloxycarbonyl-N-alkylamino group wherein the alkylamino moiety is straight- or branched-chain and contains from 1 to 6 carbon atoms, respectively, any other substituents being as hereinbefore defined.The reaction may be carried out by the application or adaptation of known methods, for example by hydrogenation in the presence of a hydrogenation catalyst, e.g. palladium on charcoal (e.g. 5-10% w/w), usually in an inert solvent such as a lower alkanol, e.g. ethanol, or dimethylformamide.
Compounds of formula Ill may be prepared by the application or adaptation of known methods, for example by the reaction of compounds of the general formula: R2SO2CH2SO2R3 IV (wherein R2 and R3 are as hereinbefore defined) with compounds of the general formula: CH(OR5)3 V (wherein R5 is as hereinbefore defined) in the presence of a lower alkanoic anhydride and a catalyst such as zinc chloride or p-toluenesulphonic acid, at an elevated temperature (e.g. 1 400--2000C).
Compounds of the formulae II, IV and V may be prepared by the application or adaptation of known methods.
By the term "known methods" as used in this specification is meant methods heretofore used or described in the literature.
The following Examples illustrate the preparation of the compounds of the present invention.
EXAMPLE 1 Compounds A, B, C, D and E A mixture of 2-amino-5-bromopyridine (38 g) and 1,1 -bis(phenylsulphonyl) -2-ethoxyethene [70 g; prepared as described by Stetter et al, Monatshefte fur Chemie, 103, 1262-1270 (1972)] in toluene (1 litre) was slowly distilled during a period of 2 hours, maintaining the volume approximately constant by the gradual addition of further toluene to replace the liquid removed by the distillation. The mixture was then concentrated under vacuum and the residue was recrystallised twice from a mixture of chloroform and ethanol, to give 1,1 -bis(phenylsulphonyl)-2-( 5-bromopyrid-2-ylamino)ethene (80 g) m.p. 177-1790C.
By proceeding in a similar manner, but replacing the 2-amino-5-bromopyridine, used as a starting material, by the appropriate quantities of: 2-aminopyridine; 2-amino-5-iodopyridine; 2-amino-5-dimethylaminopyridine; and 2-amino-5-piperidinopyridine; respectively, and recrystallising the products from the solvents which are indicated after their melting points, there were prepared: 1 .1 -bis(phenylsulphonyl)-2-(pyrid-2-yla mino)ethene, m.p. 1 53-1 56C C (ethanol); 1,1 -bis(phenylsulphonyl)-2-(5-iodopyrid-2-ylamino)ethene, m.p. 178-181 0C (mixture of chloroform and methanol); 1,1-bis(phenylsulphonyl)-2-(5-dimethylaminopyrid-2-ylamino)ethene, m.p. 205-207 0C (toluene); and 1,1 -bis(phenylsulphonyl)-2-(5-piperidinopyrid-2-ylamino)ethene, m.p. 266-2680C (toluene).
