Abstract

Compounds are described of formula (I> <IMAGE> in which n is 1 or 2; m is 2-5 and x is -CH=CH- or -CH2-CH2-; or m is 1-4 and x is -CH=C=CH-; R<1> is phenyl, substituted phenyl or naphthyl; Y substituted or unsubstituted 3-phenoxy-2-hydroxypropyl. These compounds inhibit gastric acid secretion and provide gastrointestinal cytoprotection, and may be formulated for use in the treatment of ulcers.

Description

SPECIFICATION Cyclopentyl ethers and their preparation and pharmaceutical formulation Prostaglandin E2 is a naturally occurring substance which has many physiological actions. For example, it inhibits gastric acid secretion and provides gastrointestinal cytoprotection, lowers blood pressure, stimulates and relaxes smooth muscle, inhibits platelet aggregation and inhibits lipolysis.
Synthetic PGE2 analogues offer the possibility of different potency, longer duration of activity and increased selectivity of action and are therefore of considerable interest.
Many different PGE2 analogues have been suggested in the past for use in medicine but in only one instance have 13-oxa compounds been proposed in this respect. Thus, British Patent Specification 20821 76A describes a group of compounds which includes 2-(heptyloxy)-3-hydroxy-5-oxo-cyclopentaneheptanoic acid and a 15-hydroxy derivative thereof. These compounds are stated to inhibit blood platelet aggregation and have bronchodilatory activity, and are proposed for use as antithrombotic or antiasthmatic agents.
We have now found a new group of cyclopentyl ethers that have PGE2-type activity. Compounds in this class have a particularly useful profile of biological action. In particular they have shown high potency and extended duration of action as regards the inhibition of gastric acid secretion and gastrointestinal cytoprotection and are therefore of interest in the treatment of ulcers.
The invention thus provides compounds of the general formula (1)
wherein n is 1 or 2; m is 2-5 and X is cis or trans -CH=CH- or -CH2-CH2-; or m is 1-4 and X is -CH=C=CH-; Rl is (a) phenyl [optionally substituted by C14 alkyl, C14 alkoxy, C1-4 alkanoyl, methylthio, methylsulphinyi, methylsulphonyl, halogen (e.g. chlorine or bromine), -CO2R2 [where R2 is a hydrogen atom or C14 alkyl or phenyl], -NHCOR2 [where R2 is as defined above or is a phenyl group optionally substituted by hydroxyl, CH3CONH- or
-CONR3R4 [where R3 and R4 may be the same or different and are each a hydrogen atom or C14 alkyl group], -NHCONH2, -CH2CH(CONH2)NHCOCH3, or
or (b) 2-naphthyl;; Y is
where R5, R6 and R7 is each a hydrogen atom or a methyl group and at least one is a hydrogen atom; and Ar is a phenyl group (optionally substituted by one or two C14 alkyl, C14 alkoxy, C1 4alkoxy, C1-4 alkylthio, C14 alkylsulphinyl, C1-4 alkylsulphonyl, halogen or trifluoromethyl groups); and the physiologically acceptable salts thereof.
The structural formula herein are to be understood to include the enantiomers of each of the compounds concerned as well as mixtures of the enantiomers including racemates.
In general, the compounds of formula (1) in which the carbon atom carrying the group -(CH2)nX(CH2)mCO2R' and/or the carbon atom in the group Y carrying the -OH group (particularly the former) are in the R-configuration and mixtures containing such isomers are preferred.
The alkyl groups referred to above in the definition of the compounds of formula (1) may be straight or branched.
When R1 in the compounds of formula (1) is phenyl substituted by a group -CO2H the compounds are capable of salt formation with bases. Examples of suitable salts are alkali metal (e.g. sodium and potassium) salts.
In compounds where X is -CH=CH- or -CH2CH2-, m is preferably 3 when n is 1, and m is preferably 2 or 4 when n is 2. When X is -CH=C=CH-, m is preferably 2 and n is 1, and 1 or 3 when n is 2.
When X is -CH=CH- it is preferably cis -CH=CH-.
When R1 is a substituted phenyl group it may be, for example, phenyl substituted in the meta, ortho or, in particular, para positions by a chlorine or bromine atom or a methyl, ethyl propyl, nbutyl, t-butyl, methoxy, ethoxy, propoxy, butoxy, acetyl, propionyl, methylthio, methylsulphinyl, methylsulphonyl, -CO2H, -CO2CH3, -CO2CH2CH3,
-NHCHO, -NHCOCH3, benzoylamino, (acetylamino)benzoylamino, (hydroxy)benzoylamino, -CONH2, -CONHCH3 CON(CHs)2, -CONHCH3CH3, -CONH(CH2CH3)2, -NHCONH2, -CH2CH(CONH2)NHCOCH3 or
group.
Particularly useful substituents which may be present on a substituted phenyl group R1 include C14 alkoxy, C14 alkanoyl, methylthio, methylsulphonyl, -CO2R2, -NHCOR2, -CONR3R4 [where R2, R3 and R4 are as defined for formula (I)], -NHCONH2 or -CH2CH(CONH2)NHCOCH3 groups. Espe cialiy useful substituents of this type include methoxy, acetyl, methylthio, methylsulphonyl, -CO2CH3, -NHCOCH3, benzoylamino, (p-acetylamino)benzoylamino, (p-hydroxy)benzoylamino, -CONH2, -CON(CH3)2, -NHCONH2 or CH2CH(CONH2)NHCOCHa.
The group R1 is preferably a substituted phenyl group where the substituent may be in the meta, ortho or, in particular, para positions, or is a 2-naphthyl group.
Compounds in which R1 is a phenyl group substituted (particularly in the para-position) by a methoxy, acetyl, -CO2CH3, -NHCOCH3-, benzoylamino, -CONH2, -CON(CH3)2 or -CH2CH(CONH2)NHCOCH3 group, or R1 is a 2-naphthyl group, are particularly useful.
In the group Y, R6 and R7 are preferably hydrogen atoms. Compounds in which R5 is H or -CH3 and R6 and R7 are hydrogen atoms are also preferred.
When the Ar phenyl group is substituted, the substituent may be in the meta, ortho or para positions and may be for example methyl, ethyl, propyl, butyl, methoxy, ethoxy, propoxy, butoxy, metylthio, methylsulphinyl, methylsulphonyl, fluoro, chloro, bromo or trifluoromethyl. Preferably, only a single substituent is present, particularly at the para-position. In general, Ar is preferably phenyl or phenyl substituted by halogen, particularly fluoro or chloro.
The preferences indicated above apply both separately and in combination with one or more of the other stated preferences.
A preferred group of compounds of the invention thus has the formula (1) in which: X is -CH=CH- or -CH2CH2- and n is 1 and m is 3 or n is 2 and m is 2 or 4, or X is -CH=C=CH- and n is 1 and m is 2 or n is 2 and m is 1 or 3; R1 is a phenyl group substituted (preferably in the para-position) by a methoxy, acetyl, -CO2CH3 -NHCOCH3, benzoylamino, -CONH2, -CON(CH3)2 or -CH2CH(CONH2)NHCOCH3 group or R1 is a 2-naphthyl group; R5 is a hydrogen atom or a methyl group; R6 and R7 are hydrogen atoms; and Ar is phenyl or phenyl substituted by fluoro or chloro.
Compounds of this type in which the carbon atom carrying the -(CH2)nX(CH2)mCO2R1 group is in the R- configuration are particularly preferred. Especially preferred compounds of this type are those in which R1 is a phenyl group substituted (preferably in the para-position) by benzoylamino or -CONH2, particularly the former.

Compounds of formula (1) inhibit gastric acid secretion, as determined for example by their ability to inhibit histamine-induced secretory responses in the rat perfused stomach, following the method of Ghosh M.N. and Schild in Br.J.Pharmacol., 1958, 13, 54 as modified by Parsons M.E., Ph.D Thesis, University of London, 1969.
The compounds also provide gastrointestinal cytoprotection, as determined for example by their ability to inhibit ethanol-induced lesions in the conscious rat, following the method of Robert et al in Gastroenterology, 1979, 77, 433, modified by the use of 5mg/kg/s.c. indomethacin prior to the administration of the test compound.
The compounds are thus of interest in the prevention and/or treatment of ulcers. They may also be used in the treatment of other conditions which arise from the hypersecretion of gastric acid. They may be formulated in conventional manner with one or more pharmaceutical carriers, for example for oral, buccal, parenteral or rectal administration.
The compounds may be formulated for oral administration as, for example, tablets, capsules, powders, solutions or syrups prepared by conventional means with acceptable excipents.
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 buccal administration, the compounds may be formulated as tablets or lozenges in conventional manner; and for rectal administration compositions such as suppositories or retention enemas, for example containing conventional suppository bases such as cocoa butter or other glyceride, can be used.
The compounds are preferably administered orally, for example in amounts of 0.5 to 300 ,ug/kg body weight, 1 to 4 times daily. For parenteral administration, the compounds may be administered in amounts of 0.01 to 10,ltg/kg body weight, 1 to 4 times daily. The precise dose will of course depend on the age and condition of the patient.
Suitable methods for preparing the compounds of the invention are described below, the various groups and symbols being as defined above except where otherwise indicated.
(a) Compounds of formula (1) may be prepared by deprotection of a corresponding compound in which the ring hydroxy group and the hydroxy group in Y are protected.
The protected compounds are thus of formula (2)
in which R8 is a suitable hydroxyl protecting group [e.g. tetrahydropyran-2-yl, tetrahydrofuran-2yl, ethoxyethyl, tri(hydrocarbyl)silyl or arylmethyl] and Y' is defined as a group
The two R8 groups in the compounds of formula (2) are conveniently the same, but they may be different if desired.
Where R8 is tri(hydrocarbyl)silyl the hydrocarbyl substituents may be the same or different e.g.
C16 alkyl, C26 alkenyl, C37 cycloalkyl, C7 20 aralkyl and C6 20 aryl groups. Such groups include methyl, ethyl, n-propyl, isopropyl, n-butyl, isobutyl, t-butyl, allyl, phenyl and benzyl. Preferred hydrocarbyl groups are C14 alkyl, e.g. methyl and t-butyl. Trimethylsilyl and t-butyldimethylsilyl groups are particularly preferred.
When R8 is an arylmethyl group it may contain up to 20 carbon atoms, e.g. benzyl, diphenylmethyl or triphenylmethyl.
The method used to deprotect the protected hydroxyl group will depend on the nature of R8 but in general acid hydrolysis or reduction may be used.
Thus, for example when R8 is a tetrahydropyran-2-yl, tetrahydrofuran-2-yl or ethoxyethyl group deprotection may be carried out with an acid. Suitable acids include inorganic acids such as hydrochloric acid and organic acids such as acetic acid or trifluoroacetic acid. Suitable solvents include ethers (e.g. diethyl ether, dioxan and tetrahydrofuran) halogenated hydrocarbons (e.g.
dichloromethane, hydrocarbons (e.g. toluene), dipolar aprotic solvents (e.g. acetone, acetonitrile, dimethylsulphoxide and dimethylformamide) and alcohols (e.g. methanol, ethanol and ethylene glycol). Where desired the solvents may be used in combination with water. The reaction may be carried out at any suitable temperature, such as from 0 to 50"C, e.g. 40 to 50"C.
A tri(hydrocarbyl)silyl group may for example be removed by acid hydrolysis, e.g. with dilute mineral acid or trifluoroacetic acid or by treatment with fluoride ions (e.g. from a quaternary ammonium fluoride such as tetra-n-butyl ammonium fluoride), or by treatment with aqueous hydrogen fluoride. Arylmethyl groups may be removed by reduction, e.g. by hydrogenolysis, e.g.
with a noble metal catalyst such as platinum or palladium, or by treatment with a Lewis acid (e.g. boron trifluoride-etherate) in the presence of a thiol (e.g. ethanethiol) in a suitable solvent such as dichloromethane at e.g. room temperaure.
Compounds of formula (2) may be prepared by oxidation of a compound of formula (3)
with for example pyridinium chlorochromate in the presence of a buffer (e.g. sodium acetate) in a suitable solvent (e.g. dichloromethane) at an appropriate temperature (e.g. - 100C to room temperature). Alternatively, the oxidation may be carried out with dimethylsulphoxide, activated by N,N'-dicyclohexylcarbodiimide, in the presence of pyridinium trifluoroacetate in a solvent such as dichloromethane at e.g. - 100C to room temperature. Other conventional oxidative methods can also be used, for example Jones reagent.
Intermediate compounds of formula (3) may be prepared by the methods generally described in European Patent Specification 160495.
It will be appreciated that the deprotection method (a) is usually applied in connection with the formation by oxidation of the cyclopentyl ring oxo group. Thus, the compounds of formula (1) may generally be prepared by oxidising a corresponding compound of formula (3).
The formation of the ring oxo group may however be effected prior to the introduction of the desired R1 group by esterification (e.g. by method (b) below) and the protecting groups removed thereafter.
(b) Compounds of formula (1) may also be prepared by esterifying the corresponding carboxylic acids, i.e. the compounds in which R1 is a hydrogen atom, by conventional methods.
Thus for example a compound of formula (1) may be prepared by conversion of the corresponding carboxylic acid into an activated derivative (e.g. a corresponding mixed anhydride) formed for example by reaction with an alkyl chloroformate (e.g. isobutyl chloroformate) or an acid chloride (e.g. pivaloyl chloride) in the presence of a suitable base (e.g. triethylamine or pyridine). The activated derivative can then be reacted with an appropriate compound R'OH, which are either known compounds or may be prepared by methods analogous to those used for the preparation of known compounds. Suitable solvents include dipolar aprotic solvents (e.g.
acetone, acetonitrile and dimethylformamide) and halogenated hydrocarbons (e.g. dichloromethane). The reaction may be carried out at any suitable temperature e.g. from 0 C to room temperature.
The same group of compounds of formula (1) may also be prepared by first reacting the corresponding carboxylic acid with dicyclohexylcarbodiimide in the presence of 4-dimethylaminopyridine and then treating the product with a phenol R'OH. This reaction is conveniently per formed at an appropriate temperature (e.g. 0 C to room temperature) in a solvent such as ether or dichloromethane.
The carboxylic acids required as starting materials for this reaction may be prepared by the methods generally described in European Patent Specification 160495.
(c) Compounds of formula (1) in which X is a -CH2-CH2- group may be prepared by reduction of a corresponding compound in which X is a cis or trans -CH=CH- group or an acetylene group. Suitable methods of reduction include hydrogen in the presence of a catalyst, e.g.
palladium, on a support (e.g. carbon). Suitable solvents include ethyl acetate, ethanol and methanol.
(d) Compounds of formula (1) in which X is a -CH=CH- group may be prepared by selective reduction of a corresponding compound in which X is an acetylene group. Suitable methods of reduction include hydrogen in the presence of a catalyst, e.g. palladium on a support (e.g. CaCO3 or BaSO4) and poisoned for example by lead or quinoline. Suitable solvents include ethyl acetate and methanol. This reaction is particularly suitable for the preparation of compounds in which X is cis -CH=CH-.
The acetylenes required as starting materials may be prepared from the corresponding acetylenic acids by esterification using the methods described above. The acetyienic acid intermediates may be prepared by the methods generally described in European Patent Specification 160495.
(e) Compounds of formula (1) in which X is a trans -CH=CH- group may be prepared by isomerisation of a corresponding compound in which X is a cis -CH=CH- group.
The isomerisation may for example be effected by treating the corresponding cis compound with toluene-p-sulphinic acid in dioxan (e.g. at reflux), or azobisisobutyronitrile and thiophenol, using for example a hydroarbon solvent (e.g. benzene) at any suitable temperature up to reflux.
The processes in methods (b-e) may also be applied to compounds of formula (2) and (3) and the products subsequently converted into compounds of formula (1) by the methods described above.
When a specific enantiomer of formula (1) is required, starting materials having the desired stereochemical configuration should be used in the above processes. Such starting materials may be prepared for example using the methods described in European Patent Specification 160495 from an enantiomeric intermediate as described in European Patent Specification 74856.
