Pharmacologically Active Compounds
This invention relates to novel compounds, pharmaceutical compositions containing them, their formulation into pharmaceutical compositions, and a process for their preparation.
It is known that some types of cells are activated by antibody-antigen combination and release substances which mediate the allergic response. It has been reported that SRS-A (the slow reacting substance of anaphylaxis), released from such cells which have been 10 activated by antibody-antigen combinations, plays an important role in the development ox allergic and asthmatic phenomena.
It is known that certain nitrocoumarins and cyano-hydroxycoumarins and -indanediones protect against the 15 release of mediators of the allergic response, such as
SRS-A , and inhibit their action.
We have now discovered a class of compounds which c r not only inhibit the release of mediator substances but
//
^%also antagonize the effects of SRS-A released after the v< '* (X ^
above mentioned antibody-antigen combinations. Thus these compounds are of value in the prophylaxis and
20294-9
treatment of diseases whose symptoms are controlled by the mediators of the allergic response, for example asthma, hay fever, rhinitis and allergic eczema.
Accordingly, the present invention provides a compound of the formula (I), and pharmaceutically acceptable salts thereof:
G
°(CH2>mCH<CH2>n-°'
wherein R^ is hydrogen or ^ alkyl;
R^j R^ and R^ are the same or different and are chosen from hydrogen, hydroxyl, halogen, alkyl,
C^_4 alkoxy and alkanoyl;
G is H or OH; and m and n are independently 1 to 3; with the proviso that when G is OH, one of m or n is 1.
Suitable examples of R^ include hydrogen, methyl, ethyl and n- and iso-propyl. When other than hydrogen, R^ is suitably in the 5-position (that is, substituting
202949
the carbon atom adjacent to the carbon atom bearing the carbonyl moiety). Preferably R1 is hydrogen or 5-methyl or 5-n-propyl.
n may suitably be 1 or 2, preferably 1.. More 5 preferably m and n are each 1.
The phenoxyalkoxy side chain oxygen atom may join the naphtho [2, 3-d]-v-triazole nucleus at any non-
bridgehead carbon in the benzo moiety. More suitably however it will be joined at the 6-position (that"is, 10 substituting the carbon atom meta- to the carbon atom bearing the carbonyl noiety).
Examples of an<3 R4 include hydrogen, and hydroxyl.
Examples of R£ to R^ when halogen include fluorine/ 15 chlorine and bromine, most suitably fluorine.
Examples of suitable alkyl substituents falling within the definitions of 1:0 ^4 are methyl,
ethyl, n- and iso-propyl, n-, iso and t-butyl, preferably n-propyl.
Examples of suitable alkoxy substituents falling within the definitions of R2 "to R^ are methoxy, ethoxy, n-and iso-propoxy.
Examples of suitable alkanoyl groups included within the definition of R^ "to R^ are acetyl, propionyl, an^ 25 n- and iso-butyryl, preferably acetyl.
Favourably only one of R£ to R^ is hydroxyl. When . one of these groups is hydroxyl it is favourably in the 3-position in the phenyl ring with respect to the alkylene-dioxy group.
r
202949
Favourably only one of to is alkyl.
When 4 alkyl, such a group is favourably in the 2 position in the phenyl ring as hereinbefore defined.
Favourably only one of to is C^_4 alkanoyl. When 4 alkanoyl, such a group is favourably in the 4-position in the phenyl ring as hereinbefore defined.
Where a highly substituted compound of formula (I) is required it will be appreciated that the substituents are to be chosen for steric compatability. For example, where two or three of the substituents are groups such as highly branched alkyl, C-L_4 alkoxy or Cj_4 alkanoyl groups, then these will not occupy adjacent positions.
G is preferably OH.
The triazole moiety of the compounds of formula (I) has an acidic hydrogen, and accordingly may form salts. Examples of pharmaceutical^ acceptable salts falling within the scope of this invention include the aluminium, alkali metal and alkaline earth metal salts such as the sodium, potassium and magnesium salts; and salts with ammonia, organic bases and amino compounds.
The present invention also provides a compound of •the formula (II), and pharmaceutically acceptable salts thereof:

The present invention also provides a process for the preparation of a compound of the formula (I), which process comprises the de-protection of a compound of the formula (IV) :
0
(IV)
wherein.L is a protecting group and the remaining variables are as defined in formula (I).
202949
L. ma.y be any convenient protecting group removable without destruction of the rest of the molecule.. Examples of- suitable. L. groups include:
(a) Labile benzyl, groups, such as 4-me.thoxybenzyl,
which are removable for example with strong; acid, such as- with, tr.ifluoroacetic acid at 20-80°C.
(b) Benzyl, or benzyl groups substituted with groups such as C^_^. alkyl., alkoxy, halogen, or nitro, which are- removable- under basic conditions with for example;
methoxide or ethoxide ions* at slightly elevated temperatures-in a solvent such as dimethyl formamide..
(c) A tri.tyl group, or such a group in which the phenyl moieties may be substituted by one or two inert substitutents selected from alkyl, alkoxy
and halogen, which groups are generally removable with mineral acid' (such .as hydrochloric acid) in acetic acid, again at slightly elevated temperatures..
(d) Other labile groups, such as benzhydryl.
The compounds of formula (IV) are believed to 20 be novel, and as such form an important aspect of this invention.
202949
The compounds of the formula (IV) may themselves be prepared by coupling a compound of the formula (V) :
3. NR2 (V)
with a"compound of the formula (VI):
0
wherein
X is hydrogen and Y is a group where Z is hydroxyl or a group displaceable by a nucleophile from an aliphatic moiety, or Y is hydrogen and X is a group where Z is as defined,
the remaining variables being as defined in formula (I); to give a compound of the formula (IV) wherein G is hydrogen; or wherein X is (C^) CH CH2 or
(CH2)mCH (OH) -CH2C1 and Y is hydrogen, or Y is
CH2" CH (CH2)n or CH2C1CH (0HXCH2)n and X is hydrogen to give a compound of formula (IV)wherein G is hydroxyl and n or m respectively is 1.
When Z is a group readily displaceable by a nucleophile, suitable examples of Z include halogen atoms such, as chlorine, bromine and iodine, and activa^^d^e#ter^
202949
groups such as methanesulphonate and tosylate groups..
When one of R£ to is hydroxyl it will in general be necessary to protect such a hydroxyl group during the above reaction. This may suitably be effected 5 by conversion to a benzyloxy group, optionally mono-substituted by methoxy or nitro before reaction, the benzyloxy group being converted to hydroxy by conventional hydrogenolysis after the reaction. If such a hydroxy group is adjacent to another one of to ^4 which is 10 alkanoyl, protection is not necessary.
When in the compounds of the formula (V) and " (VI) , X is a group (CH_) CH„(CH_) Z1 or Y is a group Z (CH2)m^2(*~**2^n' w^ere ^ is a group readily displaced by a nucleophile from an aliphatic moiety, when Y or 15 X respectively are hydrogen, the reaction is generally carried out in the presence of a moderate base in a polar solvent. Examples of suitable bases include basic alkali metal salts such as the carbonates, for instance potassium carbonate. Examples of suitable solvents include ketones; 20 such as methyl ethyl ketone.
The reaction is conveniently carried out under reflux at temperatures of 50 to HO°C depending on the solvent, base and particular starting materials employed. The reaction time will depend on these parameters and on 25 the temperature employed and this may readily be determined by routine trial and error. The reaction may be monitored by conventional methods such as thin layer chromatography By way of example a reaction time of up to 24 hours is often suitable.
When the compounds of the formulae (V) and (VI) ,
X is a group (CH2) ) nOH or Y is a group when Y and X respectively will be hydrogen, the reaction of these compounds is generally carried out in the presence of a compound of formula .(VII) :
202949
D 02C_N-N-C02? (VII)
wherein D and E are independently C1_6 alkyl, aryl or aryl~Cj__^ alkyl, generally both ethyl, and a compound of formula (VIII):
PR5R6R7 (VIII)
wherein R5, R^ and R7 are independently alkyl, ^
alkoxy, aryl, aryloxy, aryl-Cj^ 6 alkyl or aryl-C1_6 alkoxy, generally all phenyl.
The reaction is generally carried out at a non-extreme temperature, such as -20 to 100°C, in an inert aprotic organic solvent such as tetrahydrofuran, dioxan, 10 ethyl acetate or benzene.
When in the compounds of the formula (V) and
/on
(VI) , X is a group (CH2)mCH-CH2 or Y is a group CH^—. (CH2) n» when Y or X respectively will be hydrogen, the reaction is generally carried out in the 15 presence of a phase transfer catalyst such as benzyl-
trimethylammonium hydroxide, conveniently at temperatures of 50 to 110°C, in a polar solvent such as dimethylformamide. A temperature dependent reaction time of 4 to 14 hours is usually sufficient-.
202949
When in the compounds of formula (V) and (VI) X is (CH2) mCH (OH) CH2C1 and Y. is hydrogen , the reaction is conveniently carried out using the compound of formula (VI) in anion form (prepared- for example with sodium 5 hydride in dimethyl formamide), at slightly elevated temperatures of around 60-80°C.
Compounds of the formula (V). wherein X is hydrogen are either known compounds or may be prepared analogously to known compounds.
Compounds of formula (V) wherein X: is other than hydrogen may be. prepared in analogous manner- to the reactions described in Buckle et al, J Med Chem, 22, 158 (1979). By way of illustration, such compounds wherein X is (CH2)mCH2(CH2)nZ may be prepared by reacting 15 the X. is hydrogen compound with B(CH2)mCH2(CH2)nZ wherein B is chlorine, bromine or. iodine (Z when hydroxy may be: subsequently conventionally estified to give^an activated ester group) ; and- wherein X is -CH2CH-CH2 may be. prepared by reacting the X is hydrogen compound 20 with B-CH2CI&H2.
202949
Compounds of, the formula (VI) wherein Y is other'
than hydrogen may similarly be prepared in known manner from the corresponding Y is hydrogen compounds, for example by reacting with Z (CH2) ^ m® or C^-^H-CHjB.
Such reactions are generally carried out in the presence of a strong base in a polar solvent, some of the polar solvent often going to form the base. Examples of suitable bases include sodium in an alcohol such as tert-butanol, sodium hydride or hydroxide in dimethylsulphoxide- or 10 dimethylformamide and lithium di-isopropylamide in hexa-methylphosphoramide. Temperatures of 5 to 90°C may be used depending on the solvent, base and particular starting materials employed. The reaction time will depend on these parameters and on the temperature employed and 15 this may readily be determined by routine trial and error. The reaction may be monitored by conventional methods such as thin layer chromatography. By way of example a reaction time of up to 1 hour is often suitable at ambient temperatures.
Compounds of the formula (VI) wherein Y is H may be prepared by reaction of a compound of formula (X):
20294
14- -
O H
with a compound of formula LB wherein L and B are as hereinbefore defined.
The reaction may suitably be effected using a base such as an alkali metal carbonate, suitably potassium,-5 in a polar aprotic solvent such as dimethylformamide at temperatures between 20 and 120°, suitably around 40-50°C.
" Tt should perhaps be noted that with certain L groups> such as trityl, the N-2 protected isomer 10 is formed preferentially which simplifies the workup procedure; but with other L groups, such as 4-methoxybenzyl, a mixture of the three possible (N-l,
N-2 and N-3) protected isomers is formed, which isomers may be separated or used collectively in the 15 coupling reactions (the end product" after deprotection is the same).
Compounds of formula (X) may be prepared in a number of ways:
(a) Nitration of the naphthotriazole (XI):
202945
results in the formation of the 5- and 6-nitro derivatives (when is H, the respective ratio is 9:1) and these may be converted directly into the corresponding 5-and. 6-OH compounds of formula (X) with aldoximate anion 5 in DMSO at room temperature (having first converted the nitro derivatives to their sodium salts). The 5-and 6- derivatives may be separated either at the nitro stage, or after- conversion to the hydroxy compounds, by conventional techniques.
The compounds of formula (XI) themselves may be prepared as in New Zealand Patent Specification No. 188,628.
(b) Photolysis of a naphthotriazole of formula (XI) wherein is hydrogen, leads directly to the 6-hydroxy derivative, the reaction being carried out
in concentrated sulphuric acid at room temperature in a similar manner to that described for anthraquinone (A D Broadbent and J M Stewart, Chem Commun, 1980,
676) .
(c) De-alkylation of the corresponding methyl ethers, 20 using well known procedures such as ethylthiolate anion in N,N-dimethyl formamide (Feutrill et al, Tet Letters, 1970, 1327); lithium iodide in 2,4,6— collidine (Harrison, Chem Coram, 1969, 616); or boron trihalide-dimethylsulphide complexes (Williard 25 et al, Tet Letters, 1980, 3731).
The methyl ethers themselves may be prepared as described in New Zealand Patent Specification No. 188,6 28.

Antiserum
Rats were sensitised by giving an intraperitoneal injection of 0.5 ml of Bordetella pertussis vaccine 1 0
(4 x 10 organisms/ml Burroughs Wellcome, London) and a subcutaneous injection of 0.5 ml of an emulsion of 100 mg 5 of ovalbumin (chicken egg albumin, crystallised and lyophilised, grade 3, Sigma, London) in 2 ml of isotonic saline and 3 ml of Freund's incomplete adjuvant (Difco Laboratories, Michigan, USA) .
The rats were bled by cardiac puncture, on day 18, the 10 blood was pooled, and the serum separated, stored at -20°C and thawed only once before use. The serum was shown to contain immunoglobulin E (IgE) antibody by its ability to sensitise rats for passive cutaneous anaphylaxis (carried out as described: Spicer, Barbara A; Ross, Janet W., and Smith, H; 15 Inhibition of immediate hypersensitivity reactions in the rat by disodium cromoglycate and a nitroindanedione, Clin. exp. , Immunol., 2_1_, 41 9 1 975) to a dilution of 1:32 to 1:64 persisting for at .least 72 hours after sensitisation.
Passive peritoneal anaphylaxis
Rats were each given an intraperitoneal injection of 20 2 ml of a 1:5 dilution of the rat anti-serum in isotonic saline. Two hours later 0.3 ml of a 5% solution of Pontamine Sky Blue (Raymond A. Lamb, London) in isotonic saline was injected intravenously, followed by an intraperitoneal injection of the test compound in 1 ml of saline; (control 25 rats received 1 ml of saline); followed 30 seconds later by

an intraperitoneal injection of 5 ml of Tyrode's solution containing 50 yg/ml heparin and 0.4 mg/ml of ovalbumin. The concentrations of the compounds were quoted as those in the 6 ml of fluid injected intraperitoneally, Exactly five 5 minutes after challenge the rats were stunned and bled and their peritoneal fluids were collected by. opening their peritoneal cavities over funnels into polycarbonate tubes in ice. The supernatants were separated from the cellular residue by centrifuging at 150 g. for five minutes and were 10 retained for assay of dye and histamine. Any samples obviously contaminated with blood were not used for estimation of dye. Groups of at least five rats were used for each dose of compound and the treatments were randomised.
Assay of peritoneal fluids
Dye was assayed within two hours by measurement of 15 optical density (OD) at 625 nm.
For histamine assay 0.5 ml samples of the supernatants were added to 1 ml volumes of 12% trichloracetic acid and stored at -20°C. The deproteinised samples were assayed using an automated spectrofluorimetric system (Technicon 20 Autoanalyser) by a method similar to that of Evans, D .'"P. , Lewis, J.A. and Thomson, D.S.: (An automated fluorimetric assay for the rapid determination of histamine in biological fluids. Life Sci., Y2_, 327, 1973). At the concentrations used the compounds tested did not interfere with the assay.

SRS-A Antagonist Activity
The compounds have been evaluated as direct antagonists of slow reacting substance of anaphylaxis (SRS-A) by assay using the isolated guinea pig ileum.
SRS-A rat was obtained from the peritoneal cavity of the rat after passive peritoneal anaphylaxis by a method based on that of R.P. Orange, D.J. Stechschulte and K.F. Austen, J. Immunology, 105, 1087 (1970) as described by J. W. Ross, H. Smith and B. A. Spicer 1976, Increased vascular permeability during passive peritoneal anaphylaxis in the rat. Int. Arch. Allergy appl., 5J_, 226. The sensitising serum containing antibody was produced in rats as described by J. W. Ross et. al., ibid.
2 ml of a 1 in 5 dilution of the sensitising serum was injected by the peritoneal route into recipient rats and after 2 hours 5 ml of Tyrode's solution containing 0.4 mg/ml ovalbumin (Sigma Grade III) and 50 yg/ml heparin was injected by the same route. Five minutes after challenge the rats were stunned and bled and the peritonea^, fluids collected into polycarbonate tubes in ice. After centrifugation at 150 g. for five minutes the supernatants were combined, heated in a boiling water bath for five minutes, cooled and stored at -20°C. The combined peritoneal fluids contained SRS-A and were used in the antagonism studies.
The SRS-A assays were carried out on isolated strips of guinea pig ileum in Tyrode's solution containing atropine
x 10 "^M and mepyramine 10 as described by W.E. Brocklehurst, J. Physiology, 151, 416 (1960).
20294
The activity of the antagonists was determined by their ability to reduce submaximal responses induced by SRS-A. The antagonists were added to the 4 ml bath in 0.1 ml. volumes in aqueous solution half a minute before the 5 addition of SRS-A and were present during induced contraction.
Results
The results obtained in these tests, which are shown in the following Tables demonstrate the ability of the compounds not only to inhibit the release of mediator substances but also to antagonise the effects of released SRS-A.
