Description

The present invention relates to a novel 8a-acylamino-ergoline, processes for its production, pharmaceutical compositions containing it and its use as a pharmaceutical.
The 8a-ergolines comprises a major class of compounds possessing varying degrees and type of biological activity and potential therapeutic utility. Thus DOS 25 30 577 and 26 56 344 disclose a wide range of ergoline derivatives which are variously 8a-substituted. Amongst possible 8a-substituents embraced there are included numerous derivatised amino groupings including inter al. acylamino and related residues. The subject compounds are variously described as possessing dopaminergic and prolactin secretion inhibiting activity.
The present invention provides a novel 8a-acyl amino-ergo line, which has been found to possess especially interesting or advantageous biological activity or profile.
More particularly the present invention relates to the compound of formula I ,NH-COC(CH3)3 (I) HN-Cl as well as the acid addition salts thereof.
The present invention also provides a process for the production of the compound of formula I and its acid addition salts, which process comprises: a) reacting the compound of formula II H N- CH3 H NH.
(II) -3with the compound of formula III C(CH3)3COOH (III) or a reactive functional derivative thereof, or b) chlorinating the compound of formula la and recovering the obtained compound of formula I as such or as an acid addition salt thereof.
Process step a) may be carried out in accordance with standard procedures. Suitable reactive functional derivatives of the compound of formula III include e.g. the corresponding acyl halides, in particular chlorides, and imidazolides. Reaction with acylhalides is suitably effected in the presence of a base, such as triethylamine or HGnig-base. Reaction with imidazolides (obtained e.g. by reaction of the compound of formula III with Ν,Ν-carbonyldiimidazole) is suitably carried out in an inert solvent such as tetrahydrofuran or ethanol, e.g. at reflux temperature. Where compound of formula HI iSi employed as such, reaction may suitably be effected e.g. in the presence of propanephosphonic acid anhydride. -4Process step b) may also be carried out in accordance with known techniques, using standard chlorinating agents such as N-Cl-succinimide or sulphuryl chloride. The reaction is conveniently performed in the presence of an inert diluent or sovent such as methylene chloride or tetrahydrofuran.
The starting material of formula II may be produced analogously to the known compounds and in accordance with known procedures.
The starting material for step b) may be prepared in accordance with process step a).
The compound of formula I may be recovered from the initially obtained reaction medium as such (i.e. in free base form) or in acid addition salt form e.g. in the form of their pharmaceutically acceptable acid addition salts. Suitable pharmaceutically acceptable acid addition salts Include both such salts with inorganic acids, for example the hydrochloride salts, as well as such salts with organic acids, for example the oxalates and maleates.
The following examples are illustrative of the processes for the production of the subject compound : -5EXAMPLE 1: Preparation of 8a-benzoy1amino-6-n-propylergo!ine 1.4 ml benzoylchloride in 5 ml CH2CI2 are added drop-wise with stirring at 5 - 10 * C to a suspension of 3.0 g 8a-amino-6-npropylergoline in 100 ml CH2CI2 and 2.0 ml triethylamine. The obtained reaction mixture is stirred for 15 to 20 hours at 20 * C and then washed thoroughly 2 x with 25 ml 2N NaOH and H2O. The organic phase is dried over MgS04, filtered and evaporated. The residue (pale brown foam) is dissolved in ethanol, and crystallised as the hydrobromide by addition of equivalent amounts of HBr in acetic acid. M.P. on recrystallisation from C2H5OH/H2O (80 : 2) = 290 * with decomposition.
Analogously is obtained 2-chloro-6-methyl-8a-pivaloylamino-ergoline, m.p. 215-216°C.
EXAMPLE 2: Preparation of 2-chloro-6-n-propyl-8a-plvaloylamino-ergo1ine g silica gel are added to 2 g 6-n-propyl-8a-pivaloylaminoergoline (example 2) in 50 ml methylene chloride, pre-cooled to 0 * C. 0.503 ml sulfurylchloride are added drop-wise and the reaction mixture stirred for 4 hours. IN potassium carbonate solution is added, the mixture extracted with methylene chloride, dried over Na2S04 and concentrated. The residue is chromatographed on 50 g silica gel using toluene/ethylacetate (2 : 1) as eluant to yield the title compound. M.P. « 146 - 147 * C.
Analogously is obtained 2-chloro-6-methyl-8a-pivaloylamino-ergoline, m.p. 215-216 °C. -6The compound of formula I and its pharmaceutically acceptable acid addition salts possess pharmacological activity as can be shown in standard animal test methods, and are accordingly indicated for use as pharmaceuticals.
In particular the said compound and salts possess prolactin (PRL) secretion inhibiting activity as demonstrated e.g. by inhibition of basal prolactin secretion in male rats in the method described by Fliickiger et al, Experientia 34, 1330 (1970). Compounds of formula I exhibit activity in this test method at dosages of from 0.0005 to 0.5 mg/kg s.c..
In addition compound of formula I , and its pharmaceutically acceptable acid addition salts possess leutenising hormone (LH) secretion inhibiting activity as demonstrated by ovulation inhibition in the following test method (c.f. Marko et al., Life Sciences 33, 233 - 240 (1983)]: Female rats (200 - 250 g) of regular 4 day cycle receive test substance during pro-oestrus at ca. 13.00 and 16.00 hrs. The next morning they are sacrificed, the oviducts examined microscopically and the ova counted. Ovulation is deemed to be inhibited only if no ova are found. The average number of ova counted for each of a series of test animal groups receiving test substance at differing dosages is also recorded in order to permit determination of ΕΟςο values i.e. dosages at which 50 X ovulation inhibition is achieved.
Furthermore compound, of formula I and its' pharmaceutically acceptable acid addition salts, possess apomorphine antagonistic activity as demonstrated -7in the test method described by Jansson et al., Arz. Forsch. 10, 1003, (1960). Thus compound of formula I inhibitsapormorphine (10 mg/kg s.c.) induced, stereotyped gnawing over periods of several hours, at dosages of from 0.032 mg/kg s.c..
As will be appreciated, activity as PRL secretion inhibitors as demonstrable in the relevant test method described above is also demonstrative of dopamine agonist activity. Furthermore apomorphine antagonist activity as demonstrable ----:- in the relevant test method described above is also demonstrable of dopamine antagonist activity. Thus compound of . formula I. may be characterised as having a dual dopamine agonist/antagonist activity profile.
In view of its PRL secretion inhibiting activity, compound of formula I and its pharmaceutically acceptable acid addition salts are indicated for use as PRL secretion inhibitors, e.g. in the treatment of conditions or disorders for which reduction of prolactin levels is indicated, for example for the treatment of galactorrhoea including post-partum galactorrhoea, for the treatment of prolactin-dependent menstrual disorders including amenorrhea, for the inhibition of lactation including post-partum lactation and morbid lactation as well as for the treatment of hyperprolactinaemic hpyogonadlsm in males and females and of prolactinoma. Furthermore in view of concomitant dopamine agonist activity compound of formula I and its pharmaceutically acceptable acid addition salts are also indicated for use as dopamine agonists, e.g. for the treatment of Morbus Parkinson.
In view of its LH secretion Inhibiting activity compound of formula I —:-:—=-------- and its pharmaceutically acceptable acid addition salts are further -8indicated for use in the treatment of disorders having an aetiology associated with or modulated by LH secretion or having an aetiology in which the physiological regulation of LH secretion is implicated, for example in the treatment of prostate hypertrophy, in the treatment of menopausal syndrome, in particular post-menopausal hot flashes, as well as the treatment of mammaryand prostate-carcinoma.
In view of its apomorphine antagonistic activity compound of formula I and its pharmaceutically acceptable acid addition salts are indicated for use as neuroleptic agents, for example for the treatment of schizophrenia.
It will be further appreciated that the subject compound and its pharmaceutically acceptable acid addtion salts will be of particular interest in relation to their indicated utility as a PRL secretion Inhibitor , having regard to the reduced likelihood of undesirable side-effects (e.g. emetic activity) occurring at endocrinologically active dosages.
For the above uses, the dosage required will of course vary depending on e.g. the mode of administration, the particular condition to be treated and the effect desired.
However an indicated daily dosage is in the range of: -91) from about 0.05 to about 5.0 mg for use in PRL secretion inhibi tion; 2) from about 1 to about 10 mg for use in LH secretion inhibition; and 3) from about 1 to about 40 mg, for neuroleptic use, of compound of formula I, conveniently administered in divided doses of 2 to 4x/day in unit dosage form or in sustained release form. Suitable unit dosage forms accordingly comprise: 1) from about 0.01 to about 2.5 mg; 2) from about 0.25 to about 5.0 mg; and 3) from about 0.25 to about 20.0 mg, (according to intended utility) of compound of formula I together with one or more pharmaceutically acceptable diluents or carriers therefore.
The compound of formula I may be administered as such or in the form of its pharmaceutically acceptable acid addition salts.
Such salts exhibit the same order of activity as the free bases.
The compound of formula I may be administered by any conventional route, in particular enterally, e.g. orally, for example in the form of tablets or capsules, or parenterally e.g. in the form of injectible solutions or suspensions.
In accordance with the foregoing the present Invention also provides: 1) A pharmaceutical composition comprising the compound of formula I I as hereinbefore defined or a pharmaceutically acceptable -10acid addition salt thereof together with a pharmaceutically acceptable diluent or carrier therefor; 2) The conpouid of formula I as hereinbefore defined or pharmaceutically acceptable acid addition salt thereof for use as a pharmaceutical, i.e. for use in therapy, for example: for use as an PRL secretion inhibitor or for use as a dopamine agonist; or for use as an LH secretion inhibitor; or for use as a neuroleptic; and especially for use in any of the specific indications hereinbefore recited in relation to such use; as well as 3) A method of 3.1. a inhibiting PRL secretion; 3.1. b treating Morbus Parkinson; 3.2 inhibiting LH secretion; or 3.3 effecting neuroleptic treatment, e.g. for treating any of specific conditions hereinbefore recited in relation to such treatment, in a subject in need of such treatment, which method comprises administering to said subject an effective amount of the compound of formula I as hereinbefore defined or a pharmaceutically acceptable acid addition salt thereof.
