Description

New benzimidazole derivatives, process for their production and their pharmaceutical use Patent Application by SCHERING AKTIENGESELLSCHAFT, a German Company of Berlin and Bergkamen, Federal Republic of Germany. 3a New benzimidazole derivatives, process for their production and their pharmaceutical use This invention relates to new benzimidazole derivatives, process for their production and their pharmaceutical use.
Angiotensin II is a hormone produced within the body, which has strongly vasoconstrictive properties. Angiotensin II plays an important role in causing high blood pressure and atherosclerotic processes. Competitive angiotensin II --. antagonists should be well suited for therapy of these diseases. But the angiotensin II antagonists known so far are peptides, which, besides their insufficient bioavailability, have also partial agonist properties, which limits their use as antihypertensives. Thus, e.g., saralasin as the best known representative of this class of compounds can be administered only intravenously.
Imidazole derivatives of general formula A are known from EP 2563 310 and EP 324 377 as nonpeptidergic, orally effective angiotensin II antagonists R3 Rj 4,5,6,7-Tetrahydroimidazole[4,5-c]pyridine derivatives of general formula B with antihypertensive activity are described in EP 245,637.
It has now been found that the benzimidazole derivatives of formula I are competitive angiotensin II antagonists, which bind on the angiotensin II receptors with great affinity and inhibit angiotensin II effects in vitro and in vivo. Thus they represent effective antihypertensive agents.
The invention thus relates to benzimidazole derivatives of formula I in which R1 means H, C.,-C3 alkyl, Br or OH, R2 means H, COOH, CH2OH or OH,and R1 and R2 cannot be hydrogen at the same time and R1 cannot be CH3, if R2 and R3 at the same time mean hydrogen or R2 means CH2OH, R3 means hydrogen or fluorine and R4 means COOH or 2-tetrazolyl as well as their acid or base addition salts.
The alkyl group can be methyl, ethyl, propyl, isopropyl, and methyl is preferred.
For the salt formation with free acids inorganic and organic bases are suitable, as they are known to one skilled in the art for formation of physiologically compatible salts. There can be mentioned, for example: alkali hydroxides, such as sodium and potassium hydroxide, alkaline-earth hydroxides such as calcium hydroxide, ammonia, amines such as ethanolamine, diethandlamine, triethanolamine, N-methylglucamine, morpholine, tris(hydroxymethyl)-methylamine, etc.
For the salt formation physiologically compatible acid radicals are suitable as acid radicals. Preferred acids are organic carboxylic acids and sulfonic acids with 1-15 carbon atoms, which belong to the aliphatic, cycloaliphatic, aromatic, aromatic-aliphatic and heterocyclic series. These acids can be saturated, unsaturated and/or polybasic and/or substituted in the usual way. As examples for the substituents there can be mentioned C,-C4 alkyl, hydroxy, alkoxy, oxo or amino groups or halogen atoms (F, Cl, Br) For example, the following carboxylic acids can be mentioned: formic acid, acetic acid, propionic acid, butyric acid, isobutyric acid, valeric acid, isovaleric acid, caproic acid, enanthic acid, caprylic acid, pelargonic acid, capric acid, undecylic acid, lauric acid, tridecylic acid, myristic, acid, pentadecylic acid, trimethylacetic acid, diethylacetic acid, tert-butylacetic acid, cyclopropylacetic acid, cyclopentylacetic acid, cyclohexylacetic acid, cyclopropanecarboxylic acid, cyclohexanecarboxylic acid, phenylacetic acid, phenoxyacetic acid, methoxyacetic acid, ethoxyacetic acid, mono-, di- and trichloroacetic acid, aminoacetic acid, diethylaminoacetic acid, piperidinoacetic acid, morpholinoacetic acid, lactic acid, succinic acid, adipic acid, benzoic acid, benzoic acid substituted with halogen groups, trifluoromethyl groups, hydroxy groups, or carboxy groups, nicotinic acid, isonicotinic acid, 2furancarboxylic acid, cyclopentylpropionic acid. Considered as especially preferred acyl radicals are those with up to 10 carbon atoms. As sulfonic acids there are suitable, for example, methanesulfonic acid, ethanesulfonic acid, isopropanesulfonic acid, beta-chloroethanesulfonic acid, butanesulfonic acid, cyclopentanesulfonic acid, cyclohexanesulfonic acid, benzenesulfonic acid, p-toluenesulfonic acid, pchlorobenzenesulfonic acid, N,N-dimethylaminosulfonic acid, N,Ndiethylaminosulfonic acid, N,N-bis(beta-chloroethylaminosulfonic acid, Ν,Ν-diisobutylaminosulfonic acid, N,N-dibutylaminosulfonic acid, pyrrolidino, piperidino, piperazino, N-methylpiperazino and morpholino sulfonic acid.
Further, the invention relates to a process for the production of benzimidazole derivatives of formula I, characterized in that in a way known in the art a) a benzimidazole derivative of formula II in which R1 and R2 have the above-indicated meanings, is reacted with an alkylation reagent of formula III in which R3 and R4 have the above-indicated meanings and R5 means Cl, Br, OSO2CH3, OSO2C6H4CH3(p) , or b) a phenylenediamine derivative of formula IV R, in which R1, R2, R3 and R4 have the above-indicated meanings, is reacted with an orthocarboxylic acid ester of formula V (R6O)3C-C3H7 (V), in which R6 means C1-C4 alkyl, and optionally then protecting groups are cleaved off.
The reaction of benzimidazole derivatives II with alkylation agents III is preferably performed in polar solvents, such as lower alcohols, dimethylformamide or dimethyl sulfoxide with addition of bases, such as sodium hydride, sodium methanolate or potassium carbonate. For example, a compound of formula II is dissolved in dimethylformamide and reacted with addition of sodium hydride with 4'-bromomethyl-biphenyl-2-carboxylic acid methyl ester at temperatures of 0-50°C. The subsequent cleavage of the protecting groups takes place optionally by acid or alkaline hydrolysis.
Starting from the nitroaniline derivatives VI with R1 and R2 having the above-indicated meanings there are obtained by reaction with the alkylation reagents of formula III N-substituted nitroaniline derivatives of formula VII •7 with R1, R2, R3, and R4 having the above-indicated meanings, which are hydrogenated with Raney nickel or palladium/carbon to the starting compounds of formula IV.
The reaction of nitroaniline derivatives VI with alkylation agents III is preferably performed in polar solvents, such as lower alcohols, dimethylformamide or dimethyl sulfoxide with addition of bases, such as sodium hydride, sodium methanolate or potassium carbonate. For example, a compound of formula VI is dissolved in dimethylformamide and reacted with addition of potassium carbonate with 4'-bromomethyl-biphenyl-2-carboxylic acid methyl ester at temperatures of 0-50°C. The subsequent reduction of the nitro group preferably takes place by a hydrogenation in polar solvents such as acetic acid or lower alcohols with addition of hydrogenation catalysts such as Raney nickel or palladium on carbon. The ring closure to benzimidazole derivatives I is preferably performed with orthocarboxylic acid esters V at increased temperature. The subsequent cleavage of the protecting groups optionally takes place by acid or^alkaline hydrolysis.
The compounds of formula I, thus obtained, can subsequently be converted with mineral acids such as hydrochloric acid, hydrobromic acid or sulfuric acid or with organic acids such as, acetic acid, fumaric acid or maleic acid, or else with bases such as sodium hydroxide solution, potassium hydroxide solution or triethylamine into salts suitable for therapeutic use.
The compounds according to the invention of formula. I are suitable for treatment of diseases of the cardiovascular system, which are affected by angiotensin II antagonists, such as, for example, hypertonia, cardiac insufficiency, angina pectoris'and arteriosclerosis. The compounds according to the invention are effective in doses between 0.01 and 100 mg/kg.
The invention thus relates to the use of the compounds of formula I as pharmaceutical agents. For the preparation of pharmaceutical agents, which contain one or more of the compounds comprised by formula I, the auxiliary agents and vehicles usual in galenicals are used.
