(Ph) 02GOD/C "1<X~ HYPOGLYCEMIC 5-SUBSTITUTED OXAZOLlDINE-2,4-DIONES The present invention relates to certain 5-furyl, 5-thienyl, 5-chromanyl, 2,3-dihydrobenzo[b]furanyl, 5-pyridyl, 5-quinolyl, 5-pyrrolyl, 5-indolyl, 5-5 thiazolyl, 5-oxazolyl, 5-isothiazolyl and 5-isoxazolyl derivatives of oxazolidine-2,4-dione having utility as hypoglycemic agents.
In spite of the early discovery of insulin and its subsequent wide-spread use in the treatment of 10 diabetes, and the later discovery and use of sulfonylureas (e.g., chlorpropamide, tolbutamide, acetohexamide, tolazamide) and biguanides (e.g., phenformin) as oral hypoglycemic agents, the treatment of diabetes remains less than satisfactory. The use of insulin, necessary 15 in a high percentage of diabetics where available synthetic hypoglycemic agents are not effective, requires multiple daily, usually self, injection. Determination of the proper dosage of insulin requires frequent estimations of the sugar in the urine or in 20 the blood. The administration of an excess dose of insulin causes hypoglycemia, with effects ranging from mild abnormalities in blood glucose to coma, or even death. Where effective, a synthetic hypoglycemic agent is preferred over insulin, being more convenient 25 to administer and less prone to cause severe hypoglycemic reactions. However, the clinically available hypoglycemics are unfortunately fraught with other toxic manifestations which limit their use. In any event, where one of these agents may fail in an 30 individual case, another may succeed. A continuing need for hypoglycemic agents, which may be less toxic or succeed where others fail, is clearly evident.
In addition to the hypoglycemic agents cited above, a variety of other compounds have been reported 35 to possess this type of activity, as reviewed recently 1 97 by Blank [Burger's Medicinal Chemistry, Fourth Edition Part II, John Wiley and Sons, N.Y. (1979), pp. 1057-1080].
The oxazolidine-2,4-diones of the present in-5 vention are novel compounds; this in spite of the fact that the oxazolidine-2,4-diones are broadly known as a class of compounds [for an extensive review, see Clark-Lewis, Chem. Rev. 58, pp. 63-99 (1958)]. Among the compounds known in this class are 10 5-phenyloxazolidine-2,4-dione, variously reported as an intermediate to certain beta-lactam antibacterial agents (Sheehan, U.S. Patent 2,721,197), as an antidepressant agent (Plotnikoff, U.S. Patent 3,699,229) and as an anticonvulsant agent [Brink and Freeman, J. 15 Neuro. Chem. 19 (7), pp. 1783-1788 (1972)]; a number of 5-phenyloxazolidine-2,4-diones substituted on the phenyl ring, e.g., 5-(4-methoxyphenyl)oxazolidine-2,4-dione [King and Clark-Lewis, J. Chem. Soc. , pp. 3077-3079 (1961)], 5-(4-chlorophenyl)oxazolidine-2,4-20 dione [Najer et al. , Bull. soc. chim. France, pp. 1226-1230 (1961)], 5-(4-methylphenyl)oxazolidine-2,4-dione [Reibsomer ^t al., J. Am. Chem. Soc. 61, pp. 3491-3493 (1939)], and 5-(4-aminophenyl)oxazolidine-2,4-dione (German Patent 108,026); and 5-(2-pyrryl)-25 oxazolidine-2,4-dione [Ciamacian and Silber, Gazz. chim. ital. 16, 357 (1886); Ber. 19, 1708-1714 (1886)]. The last-named compound, having no prior known utility, shows only relatively weak hypoglycemic activity (vide post. Table I). 30 Oxazolidine-2,4-dione and substituted oxazolidine 2,4-diones (specifically, the 5-methyl and 5,5-dimethyl derivatives) have been reported as acid moieties suitable for forming acid-addition salts with the hypoglycemic, basic biguanides (Shapiro and 35 Freedman, U.S. Patent 2,961,377). We have determined • 1 97 that neither oxazolidine-2,4-dione itself, nor 5,5-dimethyloxazolidine-2,4-dione possess the hypoglycemic activity of the compounds of the present invention.
Recently, a group of spiro-oxazolidine-2,4-dione 5 derivatives have been reported which are aldose reductase inhibitors, thus finding utility in the treatment of certain complications of diabetes (Schnur, U.S. Patent 4,200,642).
A process for the synthesis of 3-aryloxazolidine-10 2,4-diones (wherein said aryl group is 6 to 12 carbon atoms, unsubstituted or substituted with one or more halogen atoms, methyl or methoxy) is the subject of another recent U.S. Patent (Scholz, U.S. 4,220,787). The utility of these compounds is not specified. 15 The present invention is concerned with compounds of the formula 0 (1) wherein R is hydrogen, (C^-C4)-alkanoyl (e.g., formyl, acetyl, isobutyryl), benzoyl, (C2~C4)-carbalkoxy (e.g., carbomethoxy, carbethoxy, carboisopropoxy), (C^-C^)-alkylcarbamoyl (e.g., N-methylcarbamoyl, N-propylcarbamoyl), (C^-C^)-cycloalkylcarbamoyl (e.g., N-cyclohexylcarbamoyl) or di-(C^-C^)-dialkylcarbamoyl 25 (e.g., N,N-dimethylcarbamoyl); and R^" is: # .1 97 (a) or R' R" wherein R1 is (C^-C^Jalkyl or phenyl, R" is hydrogen, (Cj-C4)alkyl or phenyl and X is halo (fluoro, chloro, 5 bromo or iodo); these formulae are intended to encompass 2- or 3-pyrrolyl and indolyl derivatives, with substituents as specified; wherein Y is hydrogen or (C^-C3)alkoxy, Y' is hydrogen 10 or (C^-C^alkyl and Y" is hydrogen or halo; wherein Z' is hydrogen, halo or (C^-C^Jalkoxy and Z" is hydrogen or halo; (b) (c) or (d) wherein W is hydrogen or halo, and n is 1 or 2; these formula are intended to encompass 6- or 7-halo-8-chromanyl or 5- or 6-halo-7-benzofuranyl derivatives; (e) or wherein Q is sulfur or oxygen and V is hydrogen or (C1~C3)alkyl; or (f) wherein Q is sulfur or oxygen; and V is hydrogen or (C^-C^Jalkyl; these formula are intended to encompass 3-, 4- and 5-isothiazolyl and isoxazolyl derivatives; ( (9) :SrJ3r or wherein Y is sulfur or oxygen; X is hydrogen, fluoro, chloro, bromo, iodo, methyl, phenyl, benzoyl or (C.-C^) 1 2 alkoxy; X is hydrogen or methyl; and X is hydrogen, fluoro, chloro, bromo or iodo; when X* is hydrogen, the first formula is intended to encompass the full gamut of 5-(2-furyl)-, 5-(3-furyl)-, 5-(2-thienyl)- and 5-(3-thienyl)-derivatives of oxazolidine-2,4- dione wherein the substituent X can be attached to any vacant carbon position of the furan/thiophene ring, i.e., 4 tx x where X and Y are as defined above and Ox is used as an abbreviation for the oxazolidin-2,4-dione ring attached at the 5-position; when both X and X^" are other than hydrogen, the second substituent can be inserted at either vacant position in any one of these six variants; the second formula is intended to encompass those compounds wherein the oxazolidine is substituted at the 2-, 3- or 7-position of the benzo[b]furan/benzo[b]thiophene ring system, i.e. * 1 Ox The invention also encompasses the pharmaceutically acceptable cationic salts of compounds of the formula (1) when R is hydrogen, as well as the pharmaceutically acceptable acid addition salts thereof when R"*" contains a basic nitrogen function.
It is believed that the inherent, high activity of these compounds resides primarily in those compounds wherein R is hydrogen, and that those compounds wherein R is one of a variety of carbonyl derivatives defined above represent so-called pro-drugs, i.e., the carbonyl side chain is removed by hydrolysis under physiological conditions, yielding the fully-active compounds wherein R is hydrogen.
The expression "pharmaceutically acceptable cationic salts" is intended to define such salts as the alkali metal salts, (e.g., sodium and potassium), alkaline earth metal salts (e.g., calcium and magnesium), aluminum salts, ammonium salts, and salts with organic amines such as benzathine (N,N*-dibenzylethylenediamine), choline, diethanolamine, ethylenediamine, meglumine (N-methylglucamine), benethamine (N-benzylphenethylamine), diethylamine, piperazine, tromethamine (2-amino-2-hydroxymethyl-1,3-propanediol), procaine, etc.
The expression "pharmaceutically acceptable acid addition salts" is intended to include such salts as the hydrochloride, hydrobromide, hydroiodide, nitrate, hydrogen sulfate, dihydrogen phosphate, mesylate, maleate, succinate, etc.
The compounds of the present invention possess hypoglycemic activity, reflecting their clinical utility in the lowering of the blood glucose level of hyperglycemic mammals, including man, to normal values. They have the special advantage of lowering I 97 * ff O blood glucose values to a normal range without danger of causing hypoglycemia. The compounds of the present invention are tested for hypoglycemic (anti-hyper-glycemic) activity in rats, using the so-called 5 glucose tolerance test, as described in greater detail hereinafter.
Preferred compounds, because of their better hypoglycemic activity, are those wherein R is hydrogen, or the pharmaceutically acceptable salts thereof.
Among those compounds of the formula (1) wherein R is hydrogen, the most preferred compounds, because of their excellent hypoglycemic activity, are: -(l-methyl-2-pyrrolyl)oxazolidine-2,4-dione; 5-(l-ethyl-2-pyrrolyl)oxazolidine-2,4-dione; 5-(l-phenyl-2-pyrrolyl)oxazolidine-2,4-dione; -(2-methoxy-3-pyridyl)oxazolidine-2,4-dione; 5-(2-ethoxy-3-pyridyl)oxazolidine-2,4-dione; 5-(5-chloro-2-methoxy-3-pyridyl)oxazolidine-2,4-dione; 5-(5-chloro-2-ethoxy-3-pyridyl)oxazolidine-2,4- dione; -(8-quinolyl)oxazolidine-2,4-dione; -(7-methoxy-8-quinolyl)oxazolidine-2,4-dione; -(6-chloro-8-quinolyl)oxazolidine-2,4-dione; 5-(6-fluoro-8-quinolyl)oxazolidine-2,4-dione; -(2-benzthiazolyl)oxazolidine-2,4-dione; 5-(2-thiazolyl)oxazolidine-2,4-dione; 5-(6-chloro-8-chromanyl)oxazolidine-2,4-dione; 5-(6-fluoro-8-chromanyl)oxazolidine-2,4-dione; 5-(5-chloro-2,3-dihydro-7-benzofuranyl)oxazolidine- 2,4-dione; -(3-methyl-5-isoxazolyl)oxazolidine-2,4-dione; 5-(3-thienyl)oxazolidin-2,4-dione; -(4-bromo-3-thienyl)oxazolidin-2,4-dione; -(4-ethoxy-3-thienyl)oxazolidin-2,4-dione; -(4-ethoxy-2-methyl-3-thienyl)oxazolidin-2,4-dione; 5-(4-methoxy-2-methyl-3-thienyl)oxazolidin-2,4- dione; -(3-methyl-2-thienyl)oxazolidin-2,4-dione; -(3-methoxy-2-thienyl)oxazolidin-2,4-dione; -(3-furyl)oxazolidin-2,4-dione; 10 5-(2-fury1)oxazolidin-2,4-dione; -(3-bromo-2-fury1)oxazolidin-2,4-dione; -(5-chloro-2-furyl)oxazolidin-2,4-dione; -(7-benzo[b]thienyl)oxazolidin-2,4-dione; and -(5-chloro-7-benzo[b]furanyl)oxazolidin-2,4-15 dione.
The compounds of the present invention are prepared by a variety of methods, as summarized in Flowsheet I, wherein R^" is as defined above; 2 R is lower alkyl (e.g. methyl or ethyl); 3 R is hydrogen, lower alkyl or phenyl; and 4 R is hydrogen, or acyl such as acetyl or benzoyl.
A particularly convenient synthesis for compounds 25 of the present invention is via carboximidate (3). The latter compound is reacted with phosgene in an inert solvent such as tetrahydrofuran in the presence of 2 to 2.3 equivalents of a tertiary amine (e.g. triethylamine, N-methylmorpholine). A further equivalent 30 of tertiary amine is used if the carboximidate is introduced as the acid addition salt (e.g. hydrochloride salt). The temperature of the reaction is not critical, but lower temperatures (e.g. -10° to 10°C.) are preferred during the initial stages of the Flowsheet I Oxazolidine-2,4-dione Precursors r4O ^-nh reaction, particularly if it is desired to isolate the intermediate 4-alkoxyoxazol-2-one (4). Isolation of this intermediate is carried out by simple evaporation of the reaction mixture to dryness. On further reaction at higher temperatures (e.g. 20°-150°C.) or on aqueous work-up the intermediate (4) is converted to the desired oxazolidine-2,4-dione. When a primary or secondary amine function is desired in the final product, this functionality is introduced via an oxazolidine-2,4-dione containing a group selectively reducible (e.g. by catalytic hydrogenation or acid/ metal couple) to the primary or secondary amine. For example an N-benzylindole can be used as a precursor for an indole derivative.
Th e carboximidate (3) is conveniently prepared from the corresponding aldehyde by the sequence: R1CHO (11) (13) The aldehyde (11) is converted to the cyanohydrin 5 (13) by standard procedures (e.g. via the bisulfite adduct, which is reacted with cyanide in a two phase, aqueous-organic solvent system). Alternatively, the aldehyde is converted to the trimethylsilyl cyanohydrin (12) by reaction with trimethylsilylcarbonitrile 10 in the presence of a catalytic quantity of a Lewis acid, e.g., zinc iodide. A reaction inert solvent (e.g. methylene chloride, ether) is generally used when the aldehyde is a solid, but is optional when the aldehyde is a liquid. The temperature of the 15 reaction is not critical, it being conveniently made up at reduced temperature (e.g. 0-5°C.) and allowed to proceed at room temperature for a matter of hours or days, as necessary to achieve complete reaction. If desired, the trimethylsilyl ether can be hydrolyzed 20 to cyanohydrin, conveniently at reduced temperature (e.g. -10°C.) in a two phase strong aqueous acid/organic solvent system. osi(CH3)3 Either the cyanohydrin (13) or the trimethylsilyl ether (12) is converted to the carboximidate (3) by strong acid catalyzed alcoholysis (using strictly anhydrous conditions). A convenient method is to 5 simply dissolve the nitrile in alcohol which has been saturated with hydrogen chloride) and allow the solution to stand until carboximidate formation is complete. Temperature is not critical, although lower temperatures (e.g. 0-25°C.) generally lead to 1° more optimal yields.
The aldehydes required for the above syntheses are broadly available either commercially, or by literature methods. For example, N-alkylpyrrole-2-carbaldehydes are obtained by alkylation of pyrrole-15 2-carbaldehyde (Weygand, Organic Preparations, Interscience, New York, 1945, p. 403) using conditions specifically exemplified hereinafter for the preparation of N-alkylpyrroles, or by Reimer-Tieman formylation of N-alkylpyrrole (£f Weygand loc. cit.); 3-formylindoles 20 are similarly obtained from indoles [cf_ Boyd and Robson, Biochem J. 29, p. 555 (1935; Shabica et al., J. Am. Chem. Soc. 68, p. 1156 (1946)]; Rosenmund hydrogenation of the corresponding acid chloride [e.g. 3-furaldehyde; Hayes, J. Am. Chem. Soc. 71, 2581 (1949)], from halomethyl compounds by the Sommelet reaction [e.g. 3-thenaldehyde; Campaigne and LaSuer, J. Am. Chem. Soc. 70, 1557 (1948)], formylation [e.g. 2-thenaldehyde, 3-methyl-2-thenaldehyde, 5-methyl-2-thenaldehyde; Watson and Michaels, J. Am. Chem. Soc. 30 72, 1422 (1950), Organic Syntheses 31, 108 (1951); 3-bromo-2-thenaldehyde; Elliott et al., J. Chem. Soc. (C), 2551 (1971)]; reduction of chloromethyl substituted aldehydes [e.g. 5-methyl-2-furaldehyde, Spence and Wild, J. Chem. Soc., 338 (1935)], oxidation of the 35 corresponding alcohol [e.g. 2-thenaldehyde; Emerson CO>*77 a CO) and Patrick, J. Org. Chem., 14, 790 (1949)], interaction of Grignard reagents with orthoformic esters [e.g. 2-thenaldehdye; Cagniant, Bull. soc. chim. France 16, 849 (1949)], decarboxylation of alpha-keto acids 5 [e.g. 2-thenaldehyde; Barger and Easson, J. Chem.
Soc., 2100 (1938)], and halogenation [e.g. 2-bromo-3-thenaldehyde; Elliot et al., loc. cit.]; a variety of the presently required aldehydes are further available by the hydrolysis of gem-dihalides, oxidation of 10 primary alcohols, interaction of Grignard reagents with orthoformic esters and other methods known in the art. Additional methods are noted in the Preparations detailed hereinafter.
Another suitable precursor for those oxazolidine-15 2,4-diones of the present invention lacking a primary or secondary amine function is the alpha-hydroxy amide (5). The latter compound is converted to the desired oxazolidine-2,4-dione (1), either by reaction with alkyl chloroformate in the presence of a basic 20 catalyst such as potassium carbonate, or by reaction with a dialkyl carbonate in the presence of a more strongly basic catalyst such as sodium methoxide or potassium tert-butoxide. An alcohol is generally suitable as solvent for the latter reaction with 1 to 25 3 equivalents of both dialkyl carbonate and base ' employed, preferably 2-3 equivalents of each. When a primary or secondary amine function is desired in the final product, this functionality is introduced via an oxazolidine-2,4-dione containing a suitable precursor 30 group, as described above.
The required alpha-hydroxy amide is conveniently prepared from cyanohydrin (13) or from alpha-hydroxy acid or ester (6): OH 0 R 1 CN 'R 2 (13) \ 1- OH H 2 (6) R O Convenient conditions for the hydrolysis of the cyanohydrin (13) are to treat the cyanohydrin in formic acid with excess concentrated hydrochloric acid. A temperature range of 0-75°C. is generally satisfactory, depending upon the stability of the individual amide in this medium. If desired, an intermediate formate ester of (5) can be isolated under these conditions. Over hydrolysis to the acid can be avoided by tic monitoring of the reaction, as detailed below. Convenient conditions for the aminolysis of ester (6) are to simply heat the ester in hot concentrated ammonium hydroxide.
The alpha-hydroxy ester (6) itself can also be employed as the immediate precursor of the desired oxazolidine-2,4-dione. The ester is reacted with urea (or one of certain substituted ureas, such as phenyl urea or l-acetyl-3-methylurea) in the presence of a basic catalyst such as sodium ethoxide (suitably 1 equivalent) in alcohol at a temperature of 50-110°C. The ester to be used for this purpose is by no means restricted to a simple lower alkyl ester, but can be any one of a broad variety of esters, e.g. phenyl, benzyl, etc. Furthermore, the ester can be replaced by a 1,3-dioxolan-4-one, an alpha-acyloxy ester or a thioester e.g., V / o CH CH-.
| J | *5 c=o c=o 1 I 0 or 0 R1'X^V|^OC2H5 R1^^/SCH3 0 0 and the urea can be replaced by a urethan.
Two other precursors suitable for the synthesis of the desired oxazolidine-2,4-diones are the thio 5 compounds (7) and (8). The 2-thioxo compound (7) is converted to the desired oxazolidine-2,4-diones under oxidative conditions, e.g. mercuric ion, aqueous bromine or chlorine, metaperiodate, or aqueous hydrogen peroxide, usually in excess and in the 10 presence of a co-solvent, such as a lower alcohol.
The temperature of reaction is not critical, temperatures in the range 25-100°C. being generally satisfactory. Other methods are usually preferred when R^" has an amine function, since competing oxidation at 15 the nitrogen tends to reduce yields and complicates isolation of the desired product; it has been found, however, that when the product contains a tert-amine (e.g., pyridine, quinoline), that periodate or bromine are reagents well-suited for this purpose. The 20 oxazolidine-2,4-diones are obtained from the alkyl-thio compounds (8) by simple acid or base catalyzed hydrolysis. Preferable conditions are aqueous hydrochloric acid in a temperature range of 0-50°C.
The precursor 2-thioxo compound (7) is prepared 25 from the corresponding aldehyde (11), generally accomplished in an aqueous acidic media by the action of thiocyanate (1-1.1 equivalents) and cyanide (1 to 1.2 equivalents) at 0-70°C., following the method of 1 9785 Lindberg and Pederson by which method the preparation of 5-(2-thienyl)-2-thiooxazolidin-4-one has been reported [Acta Pharm. Suecica 5 (1), pp. 15-22 (1968); Chem. Abstr. 69, 52050k], The precursor 2-alkylthio 5 compounds (8) can be prepared by alkylation of the 2-thioxo compounds (7), e.g. with an alkyl halide or dialkyl sulfate, preferably in the presence of at least two equivalents of a base such as a lower alkoxide in a reaction inert solvent such as a lower 10 alkanol. The 3-alkyl derivative can be a by-product of this reaction.
Also suitable as a precuror is the 2-imino-oxa-zolidine-4-one derivative (9), readily hydrolyzed to the oxazolidine-2,4-dione, preferably under aqueous 15 acid conditions. The required 2-iminooxazolidin-4-one is obtained by condensation of the alpha-hydroxy ester (6) with guanidine or with thiourea in the presence of one equivalent of a strong base such as sodium alkoxide, by ammonolysis of the 2-alkoxy 20 compound (isomeric with 4) or the 2-thioalkyl compound (8), by alkali induced cyclization of the appropriate 1 3 alpha-halogenureides (R CHZCONHCONHR wherein Z is a halogen such as chloro or bromo), or by the condensation 1 2 of the appropriate alkyl alpha-haloacetates (R CHZCOOR ) 25 with urea or a substituted urea (R^NHCONH2).
Ammonolysis of the 4-alkoxy derivatives (4) yields 4-imino derivatives (isomeric with 9). The latter compounds are also readily hydrolyzed to oxazolidine-2 , 4-diones. The 4-alkoxy derivatives them-30 selves are also prepared from the silver salt of the desired oxazolidine-2,4-dione.
Also highly useful as precursors of the oxazolidine-2 , 4-diones of the present invention are the dialuric acids and acyl dialuric acids (10). These • l19 78 are readily converted, under mildly basic conditions, to the desired oxazolidine-2,4-diones. Methods suitable for the preparation of precursor dialuric acids (10) are shown in Flowsheet II, wherein the substit-c 12 4 uents R , R and R are as defined above, and M is Li, MgCl, MgBr, Mgl, or other suitable metal.
A general method for preparing dialuric acids appropriate as precursors of the oxazolidine-2,4-diones of the present invention is from the malonic 10 ester derivatives (14), involving the two stages of base catalyzed condensation with urea and oxidation to the hydroxy or acyloxy compound. When the first stage is oxidation, the intermediate is a so-called tartronic acid derivative (15), while when the first 15 stage is condensation, the intermediate is a so-called barbituric acid (16). When R* contains an amine function (e.g. 2-aminophenyl), it is preferred to carry out oxidation as the first stage, preventing possible complications of nitrogen oxidation. When 20 condensation is the second stage, the dialuric acid is usually not isolated, at least in pure form, and is further converted, under basic conditions of the condensation, to the oxazolidine-2,4-dione.

Steele, J. Am. Chem. Soc. 53, 286 (1931)], carbalkoxylation of esters [cf. Horning and Finelli, Org. Syntheses 30, 43 (1950)] and decarbonylation of alpha-keto esters obtained by the condensation of dialkyl oxalate with carboxylate esters [Reichstein and Morsman, Helv. Chim. Acta 17, 1123 (1934); Blicke and Zienty, J. Am Chem. Soc. 63, 2946 (1941)].
A less general method for the preparation of the appropriate dialuric acid intermediate is to react an electron rich heteroaryl/aryl compound, e.g., X * // \> Now available is yet another method for the preparation of certain dialuric acid intermediates. This method, preferred when the appropriate starting materials are readily available, involves the reaction of alloxan (preferably in anhydrous form) with the appropriate organometal derivative (e.g., organo-lithium, Grignard reagent). For example: Protection strategies are required when using this method for preparation of certain oxazolidine-2,4-diones wherein R^" carries a substituent which is not compatible with organometallie reactions, e.g., an acyl group is protected as its ethylenic ketal. In 10 other cases, such as when R^" carries a group such as nitro or amino, this method generally lacks utility.
It will be evident to those skilled in the art that the preferred process for the oxazolidine-2,4-diones of the present invention will vary from one 15 given value of R^" to another, depending upon such factors as availability of starting materials, yields, ability to remove undesirable impurities from the end-products, the chemical nature of the substituent groups contained in the final products, etc. 20 The pharmaceutically-acceptable cationic salts of the compounds of the present invention which form such salts are readily prepared by reacting the acid forms with an appropriate base, usually one equivalent, in a co-solvent. Typical bases are sodium hydroxide, 25 sodium methoxide, sodium ethoxide, sodium hydride, potassium methoxide, me^gnesium hydroxide, calcium hydroxide, benzathine, choline, diethanolamine, ethylenediamine, meglumine, benethamine, diethyl-amine, piperazine and tromethamine. Those salts 30 which do not precipitate directly are isolated by concentration to dryness or by addition of a non-solvent. In some cases, salts can be prepared by mixing a solution of the acid with a solution of a different salt of the cation (sodium ethylhexanoate, magnesium oleate), employing a solvent in which the desired cationic salt precipitates, or can be otherwise isolated by concentration and addition of a non-solvent.
The pharmaceutically acceptable acid addition salts of the compounds of the present invention which form such salts are readily prepared by reacting the base forms with an appropriate acid, usually one equivalent, in a cosolvent. Typical acids are hydrochloric, hydrobromic, nitric, sulfuric, phosphoric, methanesulfonic, maleic, succinic, etc. Those salts which do not precipitate directly are isolated by concentration to dryness or by addition of a non-solvent. 3-Acylated derivatives of the present invention are readily prepared by using standard conditions of acylation, e.g. the reaction of the oxazolidine-2,4-dione salt (per se, or conveniently formed in situ by the addition of one equivalent of a tertiary amine such as triethylamine or N-methylmorpholine with an equivalent of the appropriate acid chloride or acid anhydride) or reaction of the oxazolidine-2,4-dione with the appropriate organic isocyanate, optionally in the presence of a catalytic amount of tertiary amine base. In either case, the reaction is carried out in a reaction inert solvent, such as toluene, tetrahydrofuran or methylene chloride. The temperature is not critical, and can be over a broad range (e.g. 0-150°C.). It will be evident to those skilled in the art that such acylation will be complicated by ' -V rV A competing or even selective sidechain (R*) acylation when the sidechain contains a primary or secondary amine function.
It will be evident to those skilled in the art 5 that the compounds of the present invention are asymmetric and therefore capable of existing in two optically active enantiomeric forms. The racemic compounds of the present invention, being acids when R is H, form salts with organic amines. These racemic forms 10 are therefore generally capable of resolution into the optically active forms by the classic method of forming diastereomeric salts with optically active amines, now separable by selective crystallization; alternatively those compounds containing a basic 15 amine function can be resolved by forming a salt with an optically active acid, preferrably a strong organic acid such as a sulfonic acid. In general, one of the enantiomeric forms is found to have greater activity than the other. 20 The reactions employed to prepare the compounds of this invention can generally be monitored by standard tic methods, employing commercially available plates. Suitable eluants are common solvents such as chloroform, ethyl acetate or hexane or suitable 25 combinations thereof which will differentiate starting materials, products, by-products, and in some cases intermediates. Applying these methods, which are well known in the art, will permit further improvement in the methodology of the specific examples detailed 30 hereinafter, e.g. the selection of more optimal reaction times and temperatures, as well as aid in the selection of optimal processes.
Th e oxazolidine-2,4-diones of the present invention are readily adapted to clinical use as antidiabetic agents. The hypoglycemic activity required for this clinical use is defined by the glucose 5 tolerance test procedure which follows. Intact male albino rats are the experimental test animals employed for such purposes. The test animals are fasted approximately 18-24 hours. The rats are weighed, numbered and recorded in groups of five or six as 10 needed. Each group of animals is then dosed intraperitoneal ly with glucose (one gram per kilogram) and orally with either water (controls) or compound (at a level usually selected from the range 0.1 to 100 mg/kg). Blood glucose levels (mg/100 ml.) are measured 15 in tail blood samples over a period of 3 hours in both control and treated groups. With equivalent zero hour blood glucose levels in control and treated groups, the % lowering of blood glucose at 0.5 hour, 1 hour, 2 hours and 3 hours is calculated as: [Control Blood Glucose] - [Treated Blood Glucose] inna [Control Blood Glucose] K Clinically useful hypoglycemic agents show activity in this test. The hypoglycemic activities determined for compounds of the present invention are summarized 25 in Table I. This table records % blood glucose lowering at the 0.5 hour and 1 hour time points. A blood glucose lowering of 9% or greater generally reflects statistically significant hypoglycemic activity in this test. Those compounds which show significant 30 activity only at the 2 hour or 3 hour points have such activity recorded in footnotes. -25-Table I Hypoglycemic Activity of Oxazolidine-2,4-Diones in the Rat Glucose Tolerance Test ArN^NH Jj % Lowering Dose of Blood Glucose Level AT (mg./kq.) 0.5 hr. 1 hr. 2-Thienyl 11 8 -Benzoyl- 7 3-Bromo- 8 6(a) -Bromo- 100 36 19 -Chloro- 100 26 17 3-Methoxy- 13 16 -Methoxy- 9 7 3-Methyl- 100 17 14 12 -Methyl 50 18 -Phenyl 50 1 (b) 3-Thienyl 23 17 4-Bromo- 100 31 14 9 4-Methoxy- 11 8 4-Methoxy-2-methyl- 16 14 4-Ethoxy- 19 19 4-Ethoxy-2-methyl- 7 12 4-Propoxy- 11 6 2-Furyl 100 27 23 11 7 3-Bromo- 18 11 11 -Bromo- 50 19 2 11 1 97 d Table I.

The oxazolidine-2,4-diones of the present invention are clinically administered to mammals, including man, via either the oral or the parenteral route. Administration by the oral route is preferred, 5 being more convenient and avoiding the possible pain and irritation of injection. However, in circumstances where the patient cannot swallow the medication, or absorption following oral administration is impaired, as by disease or other abnormality, it is essential 10 that the drug be administered parenterally. By either route, the dosage is in the range of about 0.10 to about 50 mg./kg. body weight of the subject per day, preferably about 0.20 to about 20 mg./kg. body weight per day administered singly or as a 15 divided dose. However, the optimum dosage for the individual subject being treated will be determined by the person responsible for treatment, generally smaller doses being administered initially and thereafter increments made to determine the most suitable 20 dosage. This will vary according to the particular compound employed and with the subject being treated.
The compounds can be used in pharmaceutical preparations containing the compound, or pharmaceutical-ly acceptable acid salt thereof, in combination with 25 a pharmaceutically acceptable carrier or diluent.
Suitable pharmaceutically acceptable carriers include inert solid fillers or diluents and sterile aqueous or organic solutions. The active compound will be present in such pharmaceutical compositions in amounts 30 sufficient to provide the desired dosage amount in the range described above. Thus, for oral administration the compounds can be combined with a suitable solid or liquid carrier or diluent to form capsules, tablets, powders, syrups, solutions, suspensions and the like. The pharmaceutical compositions can if desired, contain additional components such as flavorants, sweeteners, excipients and the like. For parenteral 5 administration the compounds can be combined with sterile aqueous or organic media to form injectable solutions or suspensions. For example, solutions in sesame or peanut oil, aqueous propylene glycol and the like can be used, as well as aqueous solutions 10 of water-soluble pharmaceutically acceptable acid addition salts of the compounds. The injectable solutions prepared in this manner can then be administered intravenously, intraperitoneally, subcutaneously or intramuscularly, with intramuscular administration 15 being preferred in man.
