Description

United States Patent 3,040,049 METHOD OF PRODUCING PHARMACEUTICALLY ACTIVE TROPINYLETHERS August F. Harms, Amsterdam, Netherlands, assignor to N.V. Koninklijke Pharmaceutische Fabrieken v/h Brocades-Stheeman & Pharmacia, Meppel, Netherlands, a corporation of the Netherlands No Drawing. Filed June 2, 1958, Ser. No. 738,956 Claims priority, application Netherlands May 31, 1957 1 Claim. (Cl. 260-292) This invention relates to the production of pharmaceutically active tropinylethers of the general formula Ar; CHz-CH CH2 A1: CH CH CHg in which Ar and Ar are substituted or unsubstituted phenyl groups as well as salts and quaternary ammonium compounds thereof. Examples of salts are the hydrobromide, the hydrochloride, the sulphate and the methane sulphonate.
Various compounds of the above mentioned structure are known. Thus U.S. *Patent 2,595,405 describes the unsubstituted compound, while US. Patent 2,706,198 and British Patents 708,911, 769,282 and 773,290 describe a number of compounds substituted in a phenyl group. The said patents likewise mention a number of methods of preparing said compounds. Substances having the above formula have pronounced atropine-like properties as well as a strong antihistaminic activity.
I have now found that compounds having an appreciably stronger activity can be obtained if at least one of the phenyl nuclei possesses an alkyl substituent in at least one of the ortho positions. According to the invention, therefore, compounds of the above general formula are prepared in a manner known for similar compounds, in which compounds at least one of the groups Ar or Ar is substituted in at least one of the ortho positions by an alkyl group having at most 6 carbon atoms, the two groups containing no other substituents.
It is true that US. Patent 2,706,198 discloses compounds of the general formula:
in which R and R may represent i.=a. low 'alkyl groups, but the alkyl substituted compounds described in said patent all contain one or more substituents in the paraor meta-position in the phenyl nuclei. In addition it appears from the patent that primarily the para halogen substituted compounds are considered of importance. I have found that particularly the monoortho-methyl substituted compound has a very pronounced atropine-like activity, which many times exceeds the activity of the corresponding unsubstituted compound as Well as the activity of the mono-meta and mono-para methyl-substituted compound. In addition the toxicity is of the same order of magnitude or even smaller than that of the isomeric compounds or that of the unsubstituted compound, so that the therapeutic width of the mono-ortho-methyl compound is appreciably larger than that of the corresponding compounds not having the methyl group or having it in a different position in the phenyl nucleus.
The subjoined table lists the pharmacological test results obtained in comparative experiments applied to the isolated intestine of cavies by means of compounds sub- Spasmolytic activity Toxicity 50 in mg. per kg. of mouse in the ease of an intravenous injection) Substituent HZ Anti BaOlz Anti Acetylch, activity HBr sulphateatropine In addition to the strong atropine-like activity described above the compounds according to the invention have the property that they entirely eliminate tremors created by the administration of 1,4-dipyrrolidinobutyn-2, as does atropine (C. M. Everett, Nature 177, 1238 (1956)).
If in mice 25 mg./kg. 1,4-dipyrrolidinobutyn-2 was injected the effective dose in at least 50% of the mice (ED in the case of a subcutaneous injection amounted to 2.5 mg./kg. mouse for the 2 methyl compound and to 21 mg./kg. mouse for the 2 tertiary butyl compound.
Also in this respect the 2 methyl benzhydryltropinylother again appears to have exceptional properties.
The compounds according to the application can be prepared in various Ways. According to the most usual method a compound of the formula:
is reacted with a compound of the formula:
CH2'CHCH2 B-OH NCH GH2-CH-OH2 in which A represents a halogen atom and Ban OH group or A an OH group and B a halogen atom or an OH group. If one of the symbols A and B represents a halogen atom and the other an OH group the reaction is generally carried out with the addition of an oxygen binding sub stance. If A is the halogen atom it is also possible to carry out the reaction with an excess of the amino alcohol without the addition of another oxygen binding substance. It is possible, for example, to obtain the compounds according to the application by heating one equivalent of the desired substituted benzhydryl with two equivalents of the amino alcohol, the addition of a solvent being not necessary.
Preferably, however, a compound is reacted with a compound CHz-CHCH2 HO-OH NCH3 CH2CH OH: in the presence of an organic sulphonic acid such as ptoluenesulphonic acid the reaction mixture being heated. The invention will be elucidated with reference to the following examples:
Example I 21.6 grams of Z-methylbenzhydrylchloride (0.1 mol) are heated with 25.8 grams of tropinol (0.2 mol) at a temperature of from 100150 C. for 15-30 minutes. A two layer system will form, the lower layer of which solidifies upon slight cooling. After cooling of the reaction mixture 100-15O cc. of ether are added, in which the liquid upper layer will dissolve. After separating the ether layer 150 cc. of water and subsequently 25 cc. of 40% hydrobromic acid are added thereto. The precipitate consisting of 2 methylbenzhydryl tropinyl ether hydrobromide is separated by filtration, washed with ether and subsequently with water and is thereupon dried.
The yield of the said product amounts to 14 grams (45%). After purification by crystallization the compound melts at 222224 C.
Example ll Tropinolis converted into chlorotropane by means of thionyl chloride. "One mol of chlorotropane together with one mol of 2 methylbenzhydrol is heated in the presence of sodamide as an acid binding substance at a temperature-of from IOU-150 C. for 15-30 minutes.
The reaction mixture is Worked up as described in Example I. Since the chance of quaternary salts forming is much slighter here than in the preceding method the yield is appreciably larger; it amounts to 60%. Melting point after crystallization is 221-223 'C.
Example III To 1.0 mol of orthomethylbenzhydrol 1.1 mol of tropinol are added. The mixture is heated to 50-60 C. until a homogeneous melt is obtained. To this melt 1.15 mol of p-toluenesulphonic acid are added owing to which the temperature rises to 90100 C. Subsequently the mixture is heated at a temperature of 130-150 C. under reduced pressure for 4 to 5 hours. After cooling the mixture is taken up in a mixture of diluted lye and ether. The layer of ether is separated out and treated with a dilute aqueous HBr-solution. The hydrobromide of 2- methylbenzhydryltropinylether separates out as an oil which soon solidifies.
The solid substance is isolated and crystallized from acetone or from a mixture of acetone and ether. The yield is 75%. Melting point is 223224 C.
Example IV In the same manner as described in Example III the hydrobromide of Z-ethylbenzhydryl tropinyl ether is prepared from ortho-ethyl benzhydrol, tropinol and p-toluene sulphonic acid. Melting point after crystallization is 180 C. Yield 67%.
4 Example V In the same manner as described in Example III the tropinyl 2,2'-dimethyl benzhydryl tropinyl ether is prepared from 2,2-dimethylbenzhydrol. The melting point of the hydrobromide is 194 C. The yield is Example VI formula Al; CH2-CH--CH HC'3-O(|3H N-CH Al: H2- H 0112 which comprises reacting a compound of the general formula Al1 I-I( 7A with a compound of the general formula CH2CH-OHq BCH N-CHQ Hr-CH wherein Ar; and Ar are phenyl groups of which at least one is substituted in at least one of the ortho-positions by an alkyl group containing at most 6 carbon atoms, while both groups Ar and Ar are free from other substituents in an ortho-position and are free from substituents in any position other than the ortho-position, A is a hydroxyl group, B is a hydroxyl group, and the reaction is carried out in the presence of toluene sulphonic acid.
