Description

TATENT APPLICATION BY (71) SANDOZ LTD., A SWISS BODY CORPORATE, OF 35 LICHTSTRASSE, 4002, BASLE, SWITZERLAND.
Pnct I2|p 6-p’ethyl~8a-cvanoinethv3.grqoline I The present invention relates to 5-methyl-8oc -cyanomethylergoline 1 · The compound may be made by exchanging a radical Z for a cyano group in a compound of formula wherein Z is a radical capable of being exchanged in a nuclophilic substitution reaction.' The reaction may be effected in conventional manner for the production of analogous compounds. For exanple the compound may be produced as follows (all .temperatures are in degrees Centigrade and are uncorrected) 3.35 g (10 millimols) of 6-methyl~8a-mesyloxymethyl-ergoline I are dissolved in 20 cc of dimethyl formamide, and a solution of 3.25 g of potassium cyanide (50 millimols) in 4 cc of water is added.
After standing at 80° for 48 hours, the reaction solution is poured into an excess of a 2 normal sodium carbonate solution, the precipitate is filtered off, dried in the air and subsequently chromatographed on 150 g of aluminium oxide activity - 2 10 is eluted with 0f2% of methanol in methylene chloride and crystallizes from methanol (M.P. 160 to 162°, [α]2θ= -96° (o = 0.3, dimethyl formsmide).
The 6-methyl~8a~mesylj3xymethyl-ergoline I. required as starting material, may be obtained as follows: (a) 100 g ofΔ^'^-lysergic acid methyl ester are dissolved in 900 cc of dimethyl formamide while heating, dilution is effected with 1.5 litres of ι .. · I '·· ; «·· ’’ ' glacial acetic acid) and after the addition of 10 g of platinum oxide, hydrogenation is effected at +40-50° and normal pressure until the take up of hydrogen stops. The catalyst is filtered off and the filtrate is further hydrogenated under the above conditions after the addition of 5 g of platinum oxide.
Working up is effected by filtering and evaporating the filtrate to dryness. The resulting resin is dissolved in 1.5 litres of methylene chloride containing 5% of methyl alcohol, the solution is stirred well with 20 g of active charcoal, filtration is effected; after cooling well, it is slowly covered with a layer of one litre of 2 κ sodium carbonate solution and carefully shaken. The aqueous phase is again extracted twice with 500 cc of methylene - 3 chloride. After drying the organic phase over sodium sulphate and concentrating to about 1/5 of the original volume, dilution with about 500 cc of ether and scratching are effected. After standing at 0° for 2 hours, 9,10-dihydro-isolysergic acid methyl ester 1 crystallizes. Working up of the evaporation residue in accordance with known methods yields an additional amount of 9,10-dihydro-isolysergic acid methyl ester 1· After recrystallization from methylene chloride/ethyl acetate or ethanol, the ester has a M.P. of 178 to 180° , [α]2θ= -82° (c = ί. pyridine). (b) 38 g of lithium aluminium hydride are suspended in 2.5 litres of absolute tetrahydrofuran under nitrogen, cooling is effected to 0°, and a solution of 200 g of 9,10-dihydro-isolysergic acid methyl ester I in 2,5 litres of absolute tetrahydrofuran is added dropwise within 15 minutes while stirring vigorously.
The reaoticn product is subsequently diluted with 2.5 litres of absolute tetrahydrofuran and stirred for a further 30 minutes. Working up is effected by the careful successive dropwise addition of 100 cc of ethyl acetate, 100 cc of methanol and 50 cc of water. Dilution is subsequently effected with 2 litres of 30% methanol in methylene chloride and filtration is effected. The residue is again boiled 4stimes with 1 litre amounts - 4 41427 of 30% methanol in methylene chloride. After concentration and crystallization from methanol, the combined filtrates yield 9,10-dihydro-isolysergol having a M.P. of 189° to 193°. A further amount of 9,10-dihydro-isolysergol I may be isolated from the mother liquor by chromatography. (c) 100 g of 9,10-dihydro-isolysergol1 are suspended in 500 cc of absolute pyridine and 1.1 litres of absolute acetonitrile, and a solution of 80 cc of methane-sulphochloride in 200 cc of absolute acetonitrile is added ctopwise at 0° while stirring. After removing the cooling bath, the reaction mixture is stirred for a further hour at room temperature, whereby a yellowish precipitate results. Working up is effected by again cooling to 0° and adding a 2 N ammonia solution until an alkaline reaction is obtained. After scratching, 6-methyl-8cx-methane-sulphonyloxymethyl ergoline I crystallizes (m.P. 139-141°; )2θ= -54.6° (c = 1, dimethyl-formamide).
Acid addition salt forms of the compound may be made in conventional manner from the free base form ant? vice versa.
The compound exhibits pharmacological activity.
The compound exhibits prolactin secretion inhibition activity as indicated in standard tests, for example, --542437 in rats by an inhibition of ovum implantion as follows: The compound under investigation is administered to female rats 5 days after coitus and shown to be sperm positive according to the vaginal smear test.
The rats are sacrificed on day 12 and their uteri are examined by means of the Salewski reaction for proof that the nidations process has been interrupted [Arch, exp.Path.Pharm.247, 367 (1967)]. In particular, the compound also exhibits notable central dopaminergic stimulant activity, as indicated in standard tests, for example according to the principles of U.Ungerstedt Acta Physiol.Scand.Suppl. (1971) 367, 69-93, by an induction of contralateral turning in rats lesioned unilaterally in the substantia nigra by 6-hydroxydopamine and by an induction of dose dependent stereotyped sniffing, licking and biting behaviour in the rat according to the following test: Rats,18O-222g, are placed in Perspex (Registered Trads'^ark) cylinders of 30 cm diameter on a wire grid floor.
After 30 minutes to allow acclimatisation to the cage, the rats are injected with the compound under investigation. The behaviour of the rats is observed - 6 41487 for 2 minutes at 30 minute'intervals for 2 hours and then at 60 minute intervals for a total of up to 7 hours. The degree of stereotyped behaviour observed is assessed using a scoring system based on that des5 cribed by Costall, Naylor and Olley [Euro J. Pharmac. 18, 83-94 (1972)].
The scores and criteria are as follows ί 1. Intermittent sniffing 2. Persistent sniffing, occasional licking 3. Licking, occasional biting 4, Intense and persistent biting The compound is, therefore, indicated for use as a central dopaminergic stimulant agent, for example, for treating Morbus Parkinson. For this use an indi15 oated dose in from 0.5 to 100 mg, especially - 50 mg, conveniently administered in divided doses to 4 times a day in unit dosage form containing from 0.1 to 50 mg, or in sustained release form.
The compound may be administered in pharmaceuti 20 oally acceptable acid addition salt form. Such acid addition salt forms exhibit the same order of activity as the free base forms and are readily prepared in conventional manner. The present invention also provides a pharmaceutical composition comprising the compound, " in free base form or in pharmaceutically acceptable - 7 42427 acid addition salt form, in association with a pharma ceutical carrier or diluent,' Such compositions may be formulated in conventional manner, so as to be, for example, a solution or a tablet.
