Description

la l,3-BIS-[3-(MONO- OR POLY-HYDROXY)ACYLAMINO-5-(MONO- OR POLY-HYDROXYALKYL)AMINOCARBONYL-2,4,6-TRIIODO-BENZOYLAMINO ] -HYDROXY- OR HYDROXYALKYL—PROPANES, THEIR METHODS OF PREPARATION AND X-RAY CONTRAST MEDIA CONTAINING THEM.
This invention relates to symmetrical or asymmetrical 1,3-bis-[3-(mono- or poly-hydroxy)acylamino-5(mono- or polyhydroxyalkyl)aminocarbonyl-2,4,6-triiodobenzoyl-amino]-hydroxy- or hydroxyalkyl-propanes, use5 . ful to constitute the opacifying component of X-ray contrast media, of general formula (I) A B wherein : R, R', which are the same or different, are a straight or branched mono- or poly-hydroxyalkyl C^-C^ residue containing from 1 to 2 OH groups, R^, R2, R^, which are the same or different, are H or ch3, R^i » ^2·' R3·' wh^ch are the same or different, are H or CH, -3 t Alkyl(OH)is one of the groups of formula -ch(ch2oh)ch(oh)ch2oh, -ch(ch2oh)2, CH2OH, -CH2(CH0H)4CH20H, or -CH2CH2OH, -CH2CH(OH)IE 913986 X is one of the groups -CH(OH)-, -CH(CH2OH)-, -C(OH)(CH2OH)- or -C(CH2OH)2-, A and B, may be the same or different.
The invention also comprises the possible enantio5 mers, diastereoisomers and/or rotamers of compounds (I) .
The invention also relates to a process for the preparation of these non-ionic compounds, as well as to the X-ray contrast media which contain them as opa10 cifying components.
Preferred compounds of formula (I) are the ones in which R2, r2 ' ' R3' R3' ' are Particularly preferred are the ones in which X represents the -CH(OH)- group. From the structural point of view, the non-ionic X-ray contrast agents which are more similar to the ones of this invention are the a ,«C-bis-[ 3-hydroxyacylamino-5(dihydroxyalkyl)aninocarbonyl-2,4,6-triiodo-benzoylamino]-oxaalkanes described in patents DE 2805928 and □S 4,139,605. In these compounds the two triiodo-ben20 zoyl-amino residues are joined via an oxaalkylenic residue of formula -C H~ -(O-C H- ) n .-O-C Ho - containing from 4 to 12 atoms of C and from 1 to 5 atoms of 0. They can produce oversaturated solutions and after some time, these ones may spontaneously crystallize, therefore causing a limitation to the use of such compounds. Patent US 4,062,934 describes N,N1-bis-(3-Nmethyl-N-acetylamino-5-N-gluconylamino-2,4,6-triiodobenzoyl)-diaminoalkanes. Due to an iodine content comparatively low, they show a reduced opacifying capa30 city. In addition, their solutions are quite viscous. These features cause some problems when the product is used in procedures which require administration via catheter.
N,N'-bis-(3-acylamino-5-N-methyl-carbamoyl-2,4,6triiodo-benzoyl-amino)-carboxyalkanes are described in patent application GB 1,488,904. The preparation of solutions acceptable from the pharmacological point of view requires that free carboxylic groups, where present, are neutralized. Therefore, if compared to the non-ionic contrast agents, the solutions of the com10 pounds described in the above mentioned patent application have a high osmolality. Similarly, their neurotoxicity is higher than the one of the non-ionic contrast media.
Sovak et Al. described in application WO 8501727, among other compounds, also N,N1-bis-[3,5-bis-(N-2,3dihydroxy-propyl-N-acetylamino)-2,4,6-triiodo-benzoyl]ethylendiamines and the corresponding N'-hydroxyalkylderivatives. The synthesis of these compounds is quite difficult. The four 2,3-dihydroxy-propyl groups are ob20 tained by treating the corresponding tetraalkenylderivatives with 1-butyl-hydroperoxide in the presence of osmium tetroxide. The reaction occurs in a fragmented and unaccomplished way. None of the compounds described, mentioned or claimed by Sovak has as conjunction bridge of the two 2,4,6-triiodo-benzoyl-amino residues the hydroxyalkylenic chain of formula -CH^-X-CH^-, with X equix^alent to -CH(OH)-, -CH(CH2OH)-, -C (OH) (CH2OH) or -C(CH2OH)2~> which is characteristic of this invention .
A last reference concerns the European patent applications EP 74307 and EP 74309 abandoned in 1985.
The first one only describes aromatic bi- or tricyclic compounds where the aromatic moiety contains iodine and bromine atoms at the same time and in the same molecule.
The second one does not describe new compounds, but a process which increases the tolerability of opacifying compositions by using a mixture of iodobenzenic and bromobenzenic compounds. The general formulas describing these compounds are extremely wide, unclear and indefinite and include billions of compounds basically different among them.
The compounds of formula (I) belong to the class of non-ionic contrast agents for X-ray diagnosis, which are more and more replacing the salts up to now used of the derivatives of 2,4,6-triiodo-benzoic acid, due to their better tolerability and the reduced side-effects. Thanks to the elimination of the ionic species, their solutions, if compared to the ones of the ionic agents, have the same content of iodine, but a lower osmotic pressure, that's to say a lower osmolality. Therefore, for instance, in angiography, they cause less pain and endothelial damage. In subarachnoidal administration for myelography and cisternography, unlike the previously used contrast media, they rarely cause arachnoidi25 tis or epileptic disorders. Unfortunately non-ionic contrast agents, consisting of iodinated monocyclic aromatic nuclei, are still too hypertonic, despite their excellent physical and pharmacological properties, if compared with blood, at the high dosages and high concentrations which many diagnoses require. This fact led to the development of bicyclic hexaiodinated compounds, whose osmolality is reduced in comparison with the total amount of iodine in the molecule. However, concentrated solutions of these compounds are frequently too much viscous. In addition, a large number of products, even if they are expected to be promising from the theoretical point of view, are not enough soluble.
For this reason, researchers investigated on new hexaiodinated bicyclic derivatives characterized by: high solubility, low viscosity and osmolality as well as high intravenous, intracisternal and intracerebral tolerability and minimum tendency to give side effects (pain, temperature increase, nausea, decrease of pressure and vessel damages).
In particular, physicians need new contrast media characterized by a wide range of possible uses, i.e. in urography, angiography, cardioangiography, flebography, myelography, cisternography, lymphography, isterosalpingography, bronchography and gastrography or the vi20 sualization of articular cavities.
The products of this invention are generally characterized by a good water solubility, which can exceed 100 g per 100 ml of solution at 20°C, and a low toxicity.
If compared to the known hexaiodinated dimers, they show low osmolality without causing a foreseeable corresponding rise in the viscosity.
One of the preferred compounds of the invention is for example 1,3-bis-[3-(L-2-hydroxy-propionyl) amino-530 (1,3-dihydroxy-isopropyl)aminocarbonyl-2,4,6-triiodobenzoyl-amino]-2-hydroxy-propane (compound A of Table 2). It gives stable aqueous solutions which contain, at 20°C, more than 100 g of product in 100 ml of solution.
As far as the physiological characteristics are concerned, the study of plasma kinetics revealed half life for the distribution and elimination phases of 2.9 and 22.9 min, after intravenous administration in rats (200 mgl/kg).
The apparent volume of distribution is 123.5 ml/kg showing that the product is distributed in plasma and the extracellular spaces. The total clearance is 7.9 ml . -1 ,-1 . min ·. kg Elimination occurs mainly through urinary pathway and in less extent through the bile. After 7 hours from the administration, 76.7% of the administered dose was found in the urine and 3.5% in the bile.
Its tolerability is very good as reported in Table 1.
In Table 2, there are reported the values of some characteristic properties of preferred products of this invention in comparison with IODIXANOL (Nycomed), which is an hexaiodinated non-ionic dimer in advanced phase of development (EP 108638; CLINICA 413, p 7, 08.08.90).
The process for the preparation of the l,3-bis-[3(mono- or poly-hydroxy) acylamino-5-(mono- or poly-hy2 5 droxyalkyl) aminocarbonyl-2,4,6-triiodo-benzoyl-amino]hydroxy- or hydroxyalkyl-propanes of general formula (I) is characterized in that a 1,3-diamino-hydroxy- or hydroxyalkyl-propane of general formula (II) r3-hn-ch2-x-ch2-nh-r3' (II) wherein R3 and R3' are H or CH3, X represents the groups -CH(OH)-, -CH(CH2OH)-, -C(OH)(CH2OH)- or -C(CH2OH)2- and one of the amino groups may be protected by a suitable protective group, is reacted, directly or by a multi-step process, with a reactive derivative of a 3-(mono- or poly-acyloxy)aclyamino-5-(mono5 or poly-hydroxyalkyl) aminocarbonyl-2,4,6-triiodo-benzoic acid of general formula (III) wherein : 15Rl' R2' are H or CH^,r4, is a straight or branched mono- or poly-acy loxyalkyl residue containing from 3 to 13 atoms of C and from 1 to 2 lower acyloxy groups C2"C5' Alkyl (OH) i is one of the groups of formula -ch2ch(oh)ch2oh, -ch2ch2oh, -ch(ch2oh)2, -CH(CH2OH)CH(OH)CH2OH or -CH2(CHOH)4CH2OH, where the hydroxy groups may be preferably protected by acetalic or Ketalic groups, CO-Y, is the residue of a mixed anhydride or, preferably, a halocarbonyl group, to give a compound of general formula (IV) (IV). wherein R^, R2 , R3 , Rj 1 , R2 ' , R3 ' , R4 , Alkyl(OH)1_5, and X have the meaning as previously defined and R^ may be R or R4, preferably according to one of the two following procedures: a) a compound of formula (II) is reacted with a compound of formula (III) in a molar ratio of 1:2 in a solvent and in the presence condensation agent in order to of a basic obtain the corresponding compound of formula (IV) where R^ corresponds to R4 , b) a compound of formula (II), where one of the two amino groups is protected by a suitable protective group, is reacted with a compound of formula (III) in a molar ratio of 1:1 in a solvent and in the presence of a basic condensation agent in order to obtain, after hydrolysis of the protective groups, the corresponding 1-(3-(mono- or poly-hydroxy)acylamino-5-(mono- or poly-hydroxyalkyl)aminocarbonyl-2 ,4 ,6-triiodo-benzoyl-amino]-3-aminohydroxyalkyl derivative of general formula (V) O Ϊ3 .NH (V). wherein R, R^, R2, R^, Rg', Alkyl(OH)^ and X have the meaning as previously defined, and this compound (V) is subsequently reacted with a derivative of formula (III) in the presence of a basic condensation agent to obtain compound (IV) where R^ is R, then, the compound of formula (IV), obtained by synthetic methods a) or b), is transformed by hydrolysis of the protective groups, into the corresponding compound of formula (I). Finally, in case that R^, Rj 1 are H, this last one may, if desidered, be methylated in alkaline medium.
Methylation occurs through reaction with suitable methylating agents, for instance methyl halides, dimethylsulphate, methylsulphonate, dimethyIcarbonate. For instance, the di-sodium derivative of general formula (VI) is prepared in a basic environment, preferably in the presence of alcoholate or alkaline hydroxide, and is then transformed into the corresponding dimethyl derivative of general formula (VII) by treatment with methyl halides, dimethylsulphate, dimethyl carbonate, methyl methanesulphonate, methyl benzenesulphonate, methyl toluenesulphonate.
In case of direct reaction of the product of gene5 ral formula (II) with a compound of general formula (III), according to synthesis a), symmetrical products are obtained, where both residues A and B of general formula (I) are identical.
Following the multistep reaction according to 10 synthesis b), asymmetrical products may be obtained, in which the residues A and B of general formula (I) are different. In fact, during the second step of the reaction, a compound of formula (III), which is different from the one used during the first step of the reac15 tion, may be used.
Anhydrous tertiary amines, potassium hydroxide, sodium hydroxide, sodium bicarbonate, calcium carbonate, magnesium carbonate may be used as basic condensation agents.
In both a) and b) synthesis, anhydrides with organic or inorganic acids, azides, derivatives of phosphoric acids, alkylcarbonic acids may be used as compounds of formula (III).
Therefore, the reactive residue Y in compounds of formula (III) represents the residue of an inorganic or organic acid such as: chlorine, bromine, iodine, phosphite, azide, acyloxy or alkoxycarbonyloxy.
The preferred group CO-Y is the residue CO-CI.
The hydroxy functions in the Alkyl(OH)^_5 group of formula (III) may be preferably protected by transformation into the corresponding acetales or ketals.
Examples of such protective groups may be for instance methylidene, ethylidene, 1-methyl-ethylidene, 1-ethylethylidene, 1-t-butyl-ethylidene, 1-phenyl-ethylidene, 2,2,2-trichloro-ethylidene, 1-ethyl-propylidene. These groups may be easily and fully submitted to hydrolysis through a short treatment with a strong acid, for instance diluted hydrochloric acid, aqueous trifluoroacetic acid or through a strongly acidic ion exchange resin, realeasing the corresponding ketonic compounds, usually acetone, methylethylketone or diethylketone.
The lower acyloxy protective C2~C5 groups, included in the residue of formula (III), may be for instance acetoxy, propionyloxy, butiroyloxy and may be easily submitted to hydrolysis by treatment with alkaline aqueous solutions, in order to obtain the desired mono- or poly-hydroxyalkyl R groups of formula (I).
The reaction of a compound of general formula (II) with one of formula (III) to give a compound (IV) takes place preferably in an aprotic solvent, such as, for instance, dimethylacetamide (DMAC), dimethylformamide (DMF), hexamethyIphosphoramide (HMPT) or dioxane, but also in acetone, ethyl alcohol and isopropyl alcohol. The temperature is not critical. The reaction takes place when temperature ranges from -10°C to + 150°C, preferably within 0°C and 100°C. 1,3-Diamino-hydroxy- or hydroxyalkyl-propanes of general formula (II) are described in literature, for instance in Beilsteins Handbuch der Organischen Che30 mie; 1,3-diamino-2-hydroxy-propane, Beil.4 H 290, E II 739, E III 766, E IV 1694; 1.3- bis-(methylamino)-2-hydroxy-propane , Beil. 4 E IV 1695; 1.3- diamino-2,2-bis-hydroxymethyl-propane, Beil. 4 E III 850; 1.3- bis-(methylamino)-2,2-bis-hydroxymethyl-propane, Beil. 4 E III 851.
When a compound of formula (II) is reacted with one of formula (III) in a molar ratio of 1:1 according to synthesis b), then the 1,3-diaminoderivative of formula (II) is monoprotected on one of the two amino groups in order to avoid side-reactions. Protective groups which meet this purpose may be for instance acetyl, dichloroacetyl, trifluoroacetyl groups. Trifluoroacetyl is particularly preferred. Afterwards, these groups may be easily and completely hydrolysed through treatment with alkaline aqueous solutions.
The reactive derivatives of the 3-(mono- or polyacyloxy) acylamino-5-(mono- or poly-hydroxyalkyl) amino2, 4,6-triiodo-benzoic acids of general formula (III) are obtained by reaction of a reactive derivative of a 3-(mono- or poly-acyloxy)acylamino-2,4,6-triiodo-isophthalic acid of general formula (VIII) wherein R^, R^, and Y are as previously defined, or by reaction of a derivative belonging to the ones already described in patents US 4,001,323 and EP 26281 with the hydroxyalkyamines 2-hydroxy-ethylamine, 1,3-dihydroxyisopropylamine (serinol), 2,3-dihydroxy-propylamine (isoserinol), 3-amino-l,2,4-butantriol, or with the corresponding N-methylamines, or with N-methylglucamine or with a corresponding derivative thereof wherein the hydroxy groups are preferably protected by chelatization, for instance with 5-amino-2,2-dimethyl1,3-dioxane, 5-amino-2-methyl-2-ethy1-1,3-dioxane, 510 amino-1,3-dioxane, 5-amino-2,2-diethy1-1,3-dioxane, 4aminomethy1-2,2-dimethyl-l,3-dioxolane, 4-aminomethy12,2-diethyl-l,3-dioxolane, 5-amino-6-hydroxy-2,2-dimethyl-1,3-dioxepane or 5-amino-6-hydroxy-2-ethyl-2methyl-1,3-dioxepane.
The reactive derivatives of 3-(mono- or poly-acyloxy ) acy lamino-2 , 4 , 6-triiodo-isophthalic acid (VIII) are generally reacted with one of the above mentioned amines in a molar ratio of about 1:2 without using a basic condensation agent, or in a ratio of 1:1 by using a basic condensation agent in an inert organic solvent. For instance, dioxane or tetrahydrofuran (THF) are preferred solvents. The HY acid, released during the reaction of (VIII) with the amine, is neutralized by the second mole of the amine, giving the corresponding am25 monium salt, or by the basic condensation agent used.
Some of the preferred reactive derivatives of the 3-(mono- or poly-acyloxy)acylamino-5-(mono- or poly-hydroxyalkyl ) aminocarbonyl-2,4,6-triiodo-benzoic acids of general formula (III) have already been described in patents DE 2805928 or US 4,139,605.
The compounds of this invention may be used as opacifying agents in non-ionic contrast media for X-ray diagnosis.
They may be formulated in a suitable carrier agent which is acceptable from the pharmacological point of view. Suitable carrier agents include, for instance, the ones which can be used for enteral or parenteral administration, such as buffered sterile aqueous solutions containing tromethamine, phosphate, citrate and/or bicarbonate ions, ionically balanced solutions containing physiologically acceptable anions and cations such as: Cl .(2+) (-) hco3( , Ca<2+>, Na and Mg Solutions of the contrast agents of this small amount of invention may also contain i physiologically tolerable chelating agent, such as the sodium and calcium salts of EDTA, in concentrations from 0,05 to 2 mM/1, or even heparin, at a dosage ranging from 5 to 500 units per 100 ml of solution, or another suitable anticoagulant agent.
Hypotonic solutions of the contrast media of this invention may be isotonically balanced by adding the correct amount of Merlis liquid (The Am. J. of Phys. Vol. 131, 1940 p. 67-72). Useful concentrations of iodine for such contrast media vary from 14 0 to 500 mgl/ml at a dosage of 10-300 ml, according to the desired diagnostic use.
The following experimental examples show the basic principles of this invention.
