Description

SPECIFICATION Carbocyclic compounds The endoperoxides prostaglandins G2 and H2 and thromboxane A2 are naturally occurring reactive metabolites of arachidonic acid in human platelets. They are not only potent aggregatory agents but are also constrictors of vascular and bronchial smooth muscle, and therefore substances which antagonise their effects are of considerable interest in human medicine.
We have now found a new group of compounds which have shown endoperoxide and thromboxane antagonist activity, and are therefore of interest in the treatment of asthma and cardiovascular diseases and in other respects. The invention thus provides compounds of the general formula (1)
wherein R' is a (a) a hydrogen atom; (b) C16 alkyl (c) C36 alkenyl; (d) C7 10 aralkyl (e) -CH2AR4, where A is -O- or -S- and R4 is C1-4 4 alkyl; (f) -CHR5CO2R4, where R5 is a hydrogen atom, methyl or phenyl; (g) -CH2OCOR6 where R6 is C14 alkyl, methoxy or phenyl; (h) pyridinyl; (i) 1 (acetyloxy)ethyl, (acetyloxy)phenylmethyl, tetrahydro-5-oxo-2-furanyl or tetrahydro-2-oxo-3-furanyl; 0) 4-(acetylamino) phenyl; (k) 2,2,2-trichloroethyl; (I) furanylmethyl or (m) -(CH2)p-N(R4)2 where p is 2 or 3; W is straight or branched C1 7 alkylene; X is cis or trans -CH=CH- or -CH2CH2-; n is 1 or 2; Y is a saturated heterocyclic amino group (attached to the cyclopentane ring via the nitrogen atom) which has 5-8 ring members and (a) optionally contains in the ring -0-, -S-, -SO2-, or -NR7 (where R7 is a hydrogen atom, C 7 alkyl or aralkyl having a C14 alkyl portion); and/or (b) is optionally substituted by one or more C 4 alkyl groups; R2 is (i) straight or branched C, 5 alkyl substituted by (a) phenyl [optionally substituted by C16 alkyl, C 7 cycloalkyl, phenylalkyl having a C1 3 alkyl portion, thienyl, phenyl (optionally substituted by C1 4 alkyl, C1 4 alkoxy or phenyl)], (b) thienyl [optionally substituted by C1 6 alkyl, C16 alkoxy,, C5 7 cycloalkyl or phenyl (optionally substituted by C13 alkyl, C1 3 alkoxy or halogen)], or (c) napthyl (optionally substituted by C14 alkyl or C1 4 alkoxy), or (ii) cinnamyl; and R3 is (i) C1 4 alkyl; (ii) -CH2AR4 where A is -O- or -S-; (iii) C14 alkanoyl or benzoyl; (iv) -COOR4 or benzyloxycarbonyl; or (v) -CONHR5; including the physiologically acceptable salts and solvates (e.g. hydrates) thereof.
The structural formulae herein are to be understood to include the enantiomers of each of the compounds concerned as well as mixtures of the enantiomers including racemates, even though the precise structure as set out only relates to one enantiomer.
The alkyl groups referred to above in the definition of the compounds of formula (1) may be straight or branched.
The amino group Y enables the compounds to form salts with inorganic or organic acids, e.g.
hydrochlorides or maleates. Also, when R1 represents a hydrogen atom salts may be formed with bases. Examples of such salts are alkali metal (e.g. sodium or potassium), alkaline earth metal (e.g. calcium or magnesium), ammonium, substituted ammonium (e.g. tromethamine or dimethylaminoethanol), piperazine, N,N-dimethylpiperazine, morpholine, piperidine and tertiary amino (e.g. trimethylamine) salts.
The heterocyclic amino group Y may for example have a 5,6 or 7-membered ring, e.g.
pyrrolidino, piperidino, morpholino, piperazino, thiomorpholino, i,1-dioxothiomorpholino, homomorpholino and hexamethyleneimino. Examples of the optional substituents (R7) which may be present on a second nitrogen atom in the ring are methyl, ethyl, butyl, hexyl, benzyl, and phenethyl. The carbon atoms of the heterocyclic rings may for example be substituted by methyl, ethyl or butyl. In general, Y is preferably a saturated heterocyclic amino group having 5-8 ring members and (a) optionally contains -0- in the ring and/or (b) is optionally substituted by one or more C14 alkyl groups, and more specifically Y is preferably a morpholino or piperidino group.
When R2 is substituted alkyl group, the alkylene portion may for example contain 1-3 carbon atoms (e.g. methylene, ethylene or propylene) and is preferably a methylene group.
In R2 groups of the type (i) (a), the phenyl group may be substituted by, for example, methyl, ethyl, t-butyl, cyclohexyl, benzyl, phenethyl, or phenyl (optionally substituted by methyl, ethyl, methoxy or butoxy) groups.
In R2 groups of the type (i) (b), the thienyl group may be substituted by, for example, methyl, ethyl, methoxy, ethoxy, cyclohexyl or phenyl (optionally subsituted by methyl, ethyl, methoxy, ethoxy, chloro or bromo) groups.
In general R2 is preferably a C15 alkyl group substituted by phenyl, which phenyl is itself substituted (preferably in the para-position) by phenyl (optionally substituted by C,4 alkyl or C14 alkoxy).
Particularly preferred R2 groups are benzyl groups in which the phenyl portion is substituted (preferably in the para-position) by a phenyl, methylphenyl or methoxyphenyl group, especially biphenylmethyl.
In the group -(CH2)nXWCOOR', n is preferably 2 and X is preferably cis -CH=CH-.
W may for example contain 1-5 carbon atoms in a straight or branched chain, and is preferably -CH2CH2CH2-when n is 1 and -CH2CH2-or -(CH2)4-when n is 2.
Examples of R' groups of types (b) and (d) are C12 alkyl, benzyl and phenethyl.
R' is preferably a hydrogen atom, C15 alkyl, -CH2OR4, -CH2OCOR6 where R6 is C14 alkyl, or -(CH2)2N(R)42 where R4 is C14 alkyl. More preferably, R' is hydrogen atom, methyl, -CH2OCOCH3, -(CH2)2N(CH3)2, or -CH2OCH3.
R3 is preferably C14 alkanoyl or C14 alkyl, particularly acetyl or methyl.
Thus a particularly preferred group of compounds has the formula (1) in which: R' is a hydrogen atom, C16 alkyl (especially methyl), -CH20COR6 where R6 is C14 alkyl (especially methyl), -CH20COR6 where R6 is C14 alkyl (especially methyl), -(CH2)2N(R4)2 where R4 is C14 alkyl (especially -(CH2)2N(CH3)3) or-CH2OR4 (especially -CH20CH3), W is -CH2CH2-, X is cis -CH=CH-, n is 2, Y is morpholino or piperidino, R2 is benzyl in which the phenyl group is substituted by phenyl, methylphenyl or methoxyphenyl (especially biphenylmethyl), and R3 is C14 alkanoyl or C14 alkyl (especially acetyl or methyl), including the physiologically acceptable salts and solvates thereof.
A particularly preferred compound of this type is [IR-[la(Z),2ss,3a,5a]]-(+)-7-[3-(acetyloxy)-5- [[(1,1 '-biphenyl)-4yl]methoxy]-2-( 1 -piperidinyl)cyclopentyl]-4-heptenoic acid.
In general, the compounds of formula (1) in which the carbon atom carrying the -(CH2),,XWCOOR group is in the R-configuration (and mixtures containing this isomer) are preferred.
Compounds of formula (1) inhibit blood platelet aggregation and broncho constriction. A test to determine inhibition of blood platelet aggregation is as described by G.V. Born (Nature 194, 927-929, 1962) except in that collagen is used instead of ADP as the pro-aggregatory agent.
Alternatively, starved guinea-pigs are dosed orally with the compound to be tested in a suitable vehicle. Platelet rich plasma is prepared from each animal and aggregation to a range of collagen concentrations is measured after the method of Born. Collagen concentration-effect curves for each sample of plasma are calculated and results are expressed as the shift of the curves following treatment with the compound.
The ability of the compounds of the invention to inhibit bronchoconstriction is determined either in the anaesthetized guinea pig by measuring the effect of the compound to be tested on the dose response curve of the bronchoconstrictor [IR-[la,4a,54(Z), 6a(1E,3S*)]]-7-[6-(3-hydroxy- 1 -octenyl)-2-oxabicyclo[2,2, 1] hept-5yl]-5-heptenoic acid (U-46619) or by the test described by K.M. Lulich et al in British Journal of Pharmacology 58, 71-79 (1976) except guinea pig lung or rat aorta is used instead of cat lung.
The compounds are thus of interest in the treatment of asthma, and as inhibitors of platelet aggregation and thrombosis for use in renal dialysis and transplant and the treatment and prevention of occlusive vascular diseases such as arteriosclerosis, atherosclerosis, peripheral vascular disease, cerebral vascular disease including transient ischaemic attacks, stroke, pulmonary embolism, diabetic retinopathy, post operative thrombosis, angina and myocardial infarction.
The compounds are also of potential use in the treatment of adult respiratory distress syndrome and the prevention of relapse of healed peptic ulcers.
The compounds may be formulated in conventional manner for use, with one or more pharmaceutical carriers.
For oral administration, the pharmaceutical composition may take the form of, for example, tablets, capsules, powders, solutions or syrups, prepared by conventional means with acceptable excipients.
The compounds may be formulated for parenteral administration by bolus injections or continuous infusion. Formulations for injections may be presented in unit dosage form in ampoules, or in multi-dose containers, with an added preservative.
For administration by inhalation the compounds are conveniently delivered in the form of an aerosol spray presentation from pressurized packs or a nebuliser, or as a cartridge from which the powdered composition may be inhaled with the aid of a suitable device. In the case of a pressurized aerosol the dosage unit may be determined by providing a valve to deliver a metered amount.
For use as antithrombotic agents, the compounds are preferably administered orally, for example in amounts of 0.05 to 10 mg/kg body weight, 1 to 4 times daily.
For use in the treatment of asthma, the compounds may also be administered orally in amounts of 0.05 to 10 mg/kg body weight, 1 to 4 times daily; preferably however they are administered by inhalation at doses varying from 0.3 to 30 mg, 1 to 4 times daily. The compounds may be used in combination with other antiasthmatic agents.
The precise dose administered will of course depend on the age and condition of the patient.
Suitable methods for preparing compounds of formula (1) are described below. The R groups and n, W,X and Y are as defined above except where otherwise indicated.
(a) Compounds of formula (1) in which R3 is a group of the type (i) or (ii) and R' is other than a hydrogen atom may be prepared by alkylation of the corresponding cyclopentanol in which R3 represents a hydrogen atom.
The reaction may be performed in the presence of a base (e.g. NaH) in a suitable solvent (e.g.
dimethylformamide) at low temperatures, e.g. 200 up to 00. The alkylating agent may be a compound of formula R3L where L is a leaving group e.g. halogen or tosylate.
The starting materials for this reaction may be prepared by the methods generally described in British Patent Specifications 2097397A and 21081 16A.
(b) Compounds in which R' is a hydrogen atom and R3 is a group of the type (i) or (ii) may be prepared by hydrolysing a corresponding ester (e.g. a C16 alkyl ester), e.g. using a base such as NaOH or KOH in a suitable solvent (e.g. ethanol) at room temperature to 50"C.
(c) Compounds of formula (1) in which R3 is a group of the type (iii) or (iv) may be prepared by esterification of a corresponding compound in which R3 is a hydrogen atom. The reaction may be performed using a reactive derivative of an acid R30H, e.g. an acid anhydride, acid chloride or chloroformate in the presence of a base e.g. triethylamine or pyridine at a temperature of 0 up to room temperature.
(d) Compounds of formula (1) in which R3 is a group of the type (v) may be prepared by treatment of the corresponding compound in which R3 is -H with an appropriate isocyanate e.g.
methyl isocyanate or sodium isocyanate/-trifluoroacetic acid. The reaction may be performed in an organic solvent such as dichloromethane at room temperature.
(e) Compounds of formula (1) in which R1 is a hydrogen atom may be prepared by removing the protecting group from a corresponding carboxylic acid in which the carboxyl group is protected, for example in the form of a labile ester, e.g. a trityl ester of a 2,2,2 trichloroethyl ester. The protecting group may be removed under mild conditions, e.g. with trifluoroacetic acid either neat or in an organic solvent (e.g. dichloromethane) or (in the case of a trichloroethyl ester) by treatment with zinc, for example at a pH of 4.2 -7.2, Tetrahydrofuran, dioxan and dimethoxyethane are suitable solvents. These deprotections are preferably effected at 0 up to room temperature.The starting materials required for this reaction may be prepared by first protecting the carboxyl group of the parent carboxylic acid (in which R and R3 are both -H), followed by use of processes (a), (c) or (d).
(f) Compounds of formula (1) in which R' is other than a hydrogen atom may be prepared by esterification of the corresponding carboxylic acid. Conventional esterification techniques, may be used.
For example, compounds of formula (1) in which R' is a group of the type h, j, k and 1 and R3 is not a group of the type (iv) or (v) may be prepared by treating a reactive derivative of the corresponding carboxylic acid with an appropriate alcohol R1OH. The reactions may for example be carried out at room temperature using a solvent such as acetone and, where appropriate, in the presence of pyridine.
The reactive derivative is conveniently a mixed anhydride of the acid, formed for example by treatment of the acid with a chloroformate in the presence of a suitable base, e.g. triethylamine or pyridine at -100C.
The chloroformate may for example be a C16 alkyl (e.g. iso-butyl), aryl (e.g. phenyl) or aralkyl (e.g. benzyl) chloroformate.
Again for example, compounds of formula (1) in which R' is a group of the type b-g or i may be prepared by reacting the corresponding carboxylic acid with an appropriate halide Ra Hal, where Hal represents halogen and Ra is as just defined for R'. The reaction may be carried out in the presence of a suitable base e.g. potassium t-butoxide or a sterically hindered amine such as N,N-diisopropylethylaminei in a suitable solvent (such as acetonitrile or dimethylsulphoxide), for example at a temperature from 0 to room temperature.
Compounds in which R' is a group of type (b) may be prepared by treating the corresponding acid with an appropriate diazoalkane, using a solvent such as CH2CI2, e.g. at room temperature.
(g) Compounds of formula (1) in which R' is a group of the type (m) and R3 is a group of the type (i) or (ii) may be prepared by transesterification, for example, by heating (e.g. at 1300C) an appropriate alcohol (r4)2N(CH2)pOH with a compound of formula (1) in which R3 is as just defined and R' is an alkyl group such as a methyl group.
(h) Where salts of compounds of formula (1) are desired such salts may be formed by conventional methods, for example by treating acids of formula (1) with appropriate bases. Salts may also be formed with acids.
For example, amine salts are conveniently prepared by adding the amine to a solution of an acid of formula (1) in a solvent such as ether. Salts of inorganic bases may be prepared by adding the base to a solution of the acid in an aqueous organic solvent. Certain salts may also be prepared by exchange of cation; for example, calcium salts may be prepared by addition of a calcium salt (e.g. the chloride or acetate) to a solution of a salt of a compound of formula (1), e.g. an amine or alkali metal salt.
Salts of acids may be prepared by adding the acid (e.g. hydrogen chloride) to a solution of the compound of formula (1) in an organic solvent such as ether.
When a specific enantiomer of formula (1) is required, starting materials having the desired stereo-chemical configuration should be used in the above processes. Such intermediates may for example be prepared starting from an enantiomeric bicycloheptenone as described in European Patent Specification 74 856 using the methods generally described in UK Patent Specifications 2028805A, 2075503A, 2097397A and 2108116A.
The following examples illustrate the invention.
