PDE inhibition Pr inciple cAMP is hydrolysed to AMP by phosphodiesterase (PDE) from various sources, including blood platelets.
This hydrolysis is inhibited by PDE inhibitors according 25 to the concentration.
Method: The phosphodiesterase used is the 10,000 x g supernatant of human blood platelets which have 30 been frozen with water and thawed out again. 0.3 ml of a mixture which contains 0.1 mol/litre of trihydroxy-aminomethane (pH 7.4), 3 mmol/litre of magnesium chloride, 1 mmol/litre of AMP, 1 jimol/litre of ^H-cAMP (specific activity about 10 MBq/jimol) , PDE as well as the substance to be tested and water for the control are incubated for 15 minutes at 37UC. The incubation is stopped by the addition of 0.5 ml of zinc sulphate (0.266 mol/litre) and 0.5 ml of barium hydroxide (0.266 mol/litre), the precipitate is centrifuged and the activity remaining in the 3 supernatant of the unreacted H-cAMP is determined. From a comparison of the substance preparations and the control preparations the concentration for a 50% inhibiting activity (IC,.^) of the respective substance was calculated: I /SP>N 'i- ■ Substance ^SO A 0.78 B 1.9 C 1.5 D 1.6 E 3.9 F 3.8 G 3.4 H 1.6 I 0.8 K 2.5 L 0.14 M 0.15 N 0.47 0 0.079 P 0.22 Q 0.64 R 1.8 S 2.1 T 1.0 , , U 0.14 V 0.12 W 0.14 X 0.7 Y 0.1 Z 0.5 AA 0.25 BB 0.05 CC 1.6 DD 0.04 EE 0.03 FF 0.27 J Q / * * ~; The inhibiting activity on tumour metastasis can be proved also according to Gastpar et al. (see Thrombosis Research j>. 277-289 (1974)) as an activity preventing tumour cell embolism. Here, the substance 5 to be tested is applied before the tumour cell transplantation and the survival rate of the test animals, for example rats, is determined against controls. 2. Acute toxicity: The acute toxicity of the substances to be 10 tested was determined on groups of 10 mice each after oral administration of a dose of 1,000 mg/kg (observation time: 14 days): h Substance Acute toxicity per os A 1, 000 mg/kg (0 out of animals died) B 1, 000 mg/kg (0 out of animals died) C 1, 000 mg/kg (0 out of animals died) D 1, 000 mg/kg (0 out of animals died) E 1, 000 mg/kg (0 out of animals died) F 1, 000 mg/kg (0 out of animals died) G 1, 000 mg/kg (0 out of animals died) H 1, 000 mg/kg (0 out of animals died) I 1, 000 mg/kg (0 out of animals died) K 1, 000 mg/kg (0 out of animals died) L 1, 000 mg/kg (0 out of animals died) M 1, 000 mg/kg (0 out of animals died) 0 1, 000 mg/kg (0 out of animals died) P 1, 000 mg/kg (0 out of animals died) Q 1, 000 mg/kg (0 out of animals died) R 1, 000 mg/kg (0 out of animals died) S 1, 000 mg/kg (0 out of animals died) T 1, 000 mg/kg (0 out of animals died) U 1, 000 mg/kg (0 out of animals died) FF1 > 1, 000 mg/kg (0 out of animals died) The compositions of the present invention are conveniently in a form suitable for oral, rectal or parenteral administration. To prepare the compositions 30 of the present invention in such forms, the compounds of general formula I can be processed, optionally in combination with other active substances, into conventional pharmaceutical preparation forms such as coated tablets, tablets, capsules, suppositories 35 or suspensions.
The compositions of the present invention may advantageously be administered in doses of from 4 to 9 mg of the active ingredient of formula I per " ' ' 1 94531 ... - 12 - kg of body weight per day, preferably in doses of 2 to 3 mg/kg and most preferably 2.5 mg/kg' administered 2 or 3 times daily. Thus the single dose for a human is about 100 to 300 mg of the active substance and 5 the compositions of the invention may be presented in the form of dosage units of such a content.
According tn a—further aspect of the presenj invention we provide a method for the prophylaxis of metastases which comprises admin>s-t£ring to a 10 human or animal body an eff^ctlve amount of a compound of general formula i^ffflfdef ined above) .
In the^jrartfiod of the present invention the com^9i*flt5of formula I is preferably administered uri a composition of the present invention.
According to a yet further aspect of the present invention we provided a pack comprising a pharmaceutical composition and instructions for the use thereof in the prophylaxis of metastases; said composition comprising as an active ingredient at least one compound 20 of general formula I ( as hereinbefore defined).
In the pack according to the present invention it is preferable that the composition be a composition according to the invention.
The compounds of general formula I may be obtained 25 by processes known per se, such compounds and the preparation thereof are described and claimed in Hew Zealand Patent Specification No. 189685., For example, they are obtained by Reacting a hydroxy compound of general formula II (II) [wherein R^, R^, R^ and W are as defined above] or salts thereof with inorganic or tertiary organic bases, with a compound of general formula III Z - D - S0m - R2 (III) [wherein D, R2 and m are as defined above, and 10 Z represents a nucleophilically exchangeable group such as a halogen atom or a sulphonic acid ester radical, for example a chlorine, bromine or iodine atom or a p-toluenesulphonyloxy or methane-sulphonyloxy group (see Example 1)]. 15 The reaction is appropriately effected in a suitable solvent such as dioxan, tetrahydrofuran, chloroform or toluene, but preferably in an anhydrous aprotic solvent such as acetone, dimethylformamide or dimethyl-sulphoxide, optionally in the presence 20 of an alkali metal base such as sodium carbonate, potassium carbonate or sodium hydroxide, at temperatures between 0UC and the boiling temperature of the solvent used, for example at temperatures between 0 and 100°C, but preferably at temperatures between 10 and 50~C. 25 The reaction can, however, also be effected without a solvent.
The compounds of general formulae II and III used as starting materials are partly known from the literature or may be obtained by processes known 30 per se. For example, a 6-, 7- or 8-hydroxy-3,4-dihydro-carbostyril of general formula II is obtained by acylation of a corresponding aniline derivative with a corresponding 8-halo-carboxylic acid derivative and subsequent cyclisation according to Friedel-Crafts 35 (see J. Chem. Soc. 1955, 743-744, Chem. Pharm.
Bull 1961, 970-975 and Ber. dtsch. Chem. Ges. 60, 858 (1927)) or a 5-hydroxy-3,4-dihydro-carbostyril of general formula II is obtained by cyclisation of a corresponding 2-(B-cyanoethyl)-cyclohexane-dione- ' 1,3 derivative and subsequent aromatisation, for example with N-bromo-succinimide (see Chem. and Ind. 1970, 1435). The preparation of the corresponding 5 hydroxy-carbostyrils of general formula II is known from the literature (see e.g. J. Amer. Chem. Soc. 72, 346 (1950) and ibid 76, 2402 (1954) or J. Org.
Chem. 33, 1089 (1968) and ibid. 36, 3493 (1971)). Furthermore, the preparation of 5-hydroxyindole is 10 described in J. Chem. Soc. 1961, 2723.
The following Examples are intended to illustrate the invention in detail without serving to limit the scope of protection sought therefor: • 11 c 0 n/ ''t' u Example 1 6-(4-Phenylsulf inylbutoxy)-3,4-dihydrocarbostyril 32.6 g (0.2 mol) of 6-hydroxy-3,4-dihydrocarbo-styril (see F. Mayer et al. in Ber. dtsch. chem.
Ges. _60., 858 (1927)) and 27.6 g (0.2 mol) of potassium carbonate are stirred for 5 minutes in 600 ml of dimethylsulphoxide dried via a molecular screen and are then mixed with 52.2 g of 4-phenylsulfinylbutyl bromide (0.2 mol) (prepared from thiophenol and 1,4-10 dibromobutane and subsequent oxidation with hydrogen peroxide in glacial acetic acid; oily substance solidifying upon standing in a refrigerator). The mixture is stirred for 15 hours at 25UC and then poured into . 6 litres of water. Subsequently, it is stirred for 15 a further 13 minutes, the precipitated product is filtered off with suction and washed thoroughly with water. After drying, it is recrystallised with charcoal treatment from about 600 ml of xylene. White crystals of melting point 144.5-145 . 5UC are obtained. Yield: 20 49 g (71.3% of theory).
Example 2 -(4-Phenylmercapto-butoxy)-carbostyril A mixture of 32.3 g of 5-hydroxycarbostyril, 30 g of potassium carbonate and 650 ml of dimethylsulphoxide dried via a molecular screen is mixed with 49 g of 4-phenylmercaptobutyl bromide. The mixture is stirred for 20 hours at 25°C and diluted with 3 litres of water and the reaction product which has crystallised 30 out is filtered off with suction.
