A particularly advantageous compound of this invention is represented by Formula I in which R, is trifluoromethyl in the 6-position, R is methyl and R is hydroxy, said compound being 9-methyl-6-trifluoromethylacridine- 4-carboxylic acid.
The pharmaceutically acceptable salt derivatives of compounds of Formula I, also included in this invention, are salts of the carboxylic acid compounds of Formula I formed with organic or inorganic bases and pharmaceutically acceptable acid addition of quaternary ammonium salts of compounds of Formula I when the compounds have a basic center, that is when R is di-lower alkylamino-lower .alkoxy. Exemplary of the carboxylic acid salts are ammonium and alkali metal salts such as potassium or sodium salts. The acid addition salts are formed with acids such as hydrochloric, sulfuric, sulfamic, ethanedisulfonic, maleic, hydrobromic or phosphoric acids and the quaternary salts are formed with a quaternizing compound, for example, lower alkyl chloride, bromide or iodide, benzyl chloride, ethyl tosylate or methyl sulfate. The salt derivatives are prepared by Well known standard procedures. For example, the salts of the carboxylic acid compounds are prepared by reacting the acid compound with an equivalent amount of base in aqueous miscible solvent with isolation of the salt by concentration and cooling or with an excess of the base in an aqueous immiscible solvent with the salt separating directly. The acid addition salts and the quaternary ammonium salts are prepared by reacting the basic compound with an acid or quaternizing compound in suitable solvent.
The compounds of this invention are prepared by the following procedure:

According to the above procedure, a 2-lower alkanoylaniline is reacted with a lower alkyl Z-halobenzoate. The reaction is carried out in the presence of a copper catalyst, such as copper powder or copper-bronze, and an alkali metal carbonate, for example sodium carbonate, in a solvent such as nitrobenzene or dimethylformamide. The reaction is carried out at elevated temperature, preferably at reflux temperature. The resulting substituted 2'- lower alkanoyldiphenylamine-Z-carboxylic acid ester is bydrolyzed to the free carboxylic acid by treating with an alkali metal carbonate, for example sodium carbonate, in aqueous lower alkanol solution. The substituted 2'-lower alkanoyldiphenylamine-2-carboxylic acid is cyclized by treating with acid, for example a mixture of acetic acid and sulfuric acid, at elevated temptrature to give the substituted 9-lower alkylacridine-4-carboxylic acids of this invention.
The compounds of Formula I in which R is lower alkoxy, di-lower alkylamino-lower alkoxy or NRR" are prepared from the corresponding carboxylic acid compounds, i.e. the corresponding compounds of Formula I in which R is hydroxy, by standard procedures. For example, the carboxylic acid group may be converted to the carbonyl chloride by reacting with thionyl chloride or phosphorus trichloride and the carbonyl chloride is reacted with the appropriate lower alkanol, di-lower alkylamino-lower alkanol or amines (HNRR") to give the corresponding carboxylic acid derivatives of this invention. Also, the esters may be prepared by standard esterification procedures.
The substituted 2-lower alkanoylaniline starting materials of the above procedure are prepared by the following known procedures:
The terms R and R are as defined above and X and X are chloro or bromo.
According to procedure I above, the substituted 2- lower alkanoylaniline starting materials are prepared by reacting a 2-haloaniline with cuprous cyanide, or reacting a 2-halo-nitrobenzene with cuprous cyanide and reducing the nitro group, to give the 2-aminobenzonitrile and reacting the 2-aminobenzonitrile with a lower alkyl magnesium halide, R MgX', in an ethereal solution and then treating with an acid such as glacial acetic acid or dilute hydrochloric acid.

Most conveniently, the compound is combined with a standard pharmaceutical carrier and administered orally as a capsule, tablet, troche or liquid or parenterally as a sterile suspension.
The anti-arthritic activity of the compounds of this invention is demonstrated by ability to inhibit adjuvantinduced polyarthritis in rats. The compounds of this invention decrease the inflamed hind leg volumes in experimental rats at oral doses of 6.25 to 100 mg./kg./day.
The terms lower alkyl and lower alkoxy where used herein denote groups having 1 to 4 carbon atoms and halo denotes chloro, bromo or fiuoro.
4 The following examples are not limiting but are illustrative of the compounds of this invention and processes for their preparation.
EXAMPLE 1 Cuprous cyanide (234 g.) is added slowly with stirring to 213 g. of dry pyridine. The mixture which solidifies is heated until a homogeneous melt is obtained (ll0 C.), then heating is continued until the temperature reaches C. Any excess pyridine is boiled off. The temperature is then alloyed to drop to approximately 110 C. and then with stirring 487 g. of 2-bromo-5-trifiuoromethylaniline is added slowly. The mixture is gradually heated with stirring and stirred at -170 C. for 75 minutes. The mixture is then cooled to about 90 C. and a concentrated solution of sodium cyanide (750 g. in 750 ml. of water) is added with stirring. The resulting mixture is stirred for several minutes, then 250 ml. of benzene is added and the stirring is continued for one hour. The benzene layer is separated from the aqueous layer, washed with three portions of water and dried. The benzene is removed in vacuo on a steam bath and the residue is distilled. The distillate which solidifies is melted and poured into hexane with stirring and cooling. Filtering off and air drying the solid material gives 2-amino-4-trifluoromethylbenzonitrile, M.P. 87-89 C.
A solution of 60.5 g. of 2-amino-4-trifiuoromethylbenzonitrile in 800 ml. of dry tetrahydrofuran is cooled to 0 C. as 50 ml. of a 3 M solution of methylmagnesium bromide in ether is added dropwise with stirring. The suspension is stirred at room temperature for 24 hours, then ether is removed by distillation and the residual mixture allowed to stir at room temperature another 48 hours. The resulting solution is stirred into a mixture of 200 ml. of glacial acetic acid and 500 ml. of ice and water and the organic material removed by ether extraction. The extract is washed with water and with aqueous sodium carbonate solution, then dried and concentrated under reduced pressure. The residue is steam distilled and the distillate crystallized from 1:1 ethanol: water to give 2-amino-4-trifluoromethylacetophenone, M.P. 79-80 C.
A mixture of 5.08 g. of 2-amino-4-trifluoromethylacetophenone, 5.0 g. of methyl 2-chlorobenzoate, 0.2 g. of copper-bronze and 10 g. of anhydrous sodium carbonate in 30 ml. of nitrobenzene is heated at reflux with stirring for three hours. The cooled solution is filtered. The filtrate is steam distilled and the residue is cooled and extracted with ether. The extracts are dried and concentrated under reduced pressure. Vacuum sublimation of the residue and then recrystallizing from aqueous ethanol gives the methyl ester of 2-acetyl-5-trifluoromethyldiphenylamine-2'-carboxy1ic acid. The ester is refluxed with 2.5% aqueous sodium carbonate solution in 1:1 aqueous alcohol to give, after neutralizing with dilute hydrochloric acid, extracting with ether and then removing the ether from the extracts in vacuo, Z-acetyl-S- trifluoromethyldiphenylamine-2' carboxylic acid; M.P. 194-1945 C. (recrystallized from aqueous alcohol).
A solution of 21 g. of 2-acetyl-5-trifluoromethyldiphenylamine-2'-carboxylic acid in a mixture of 85 ml. of acetic acid and 15 ml. of sulfuric is heated at steam bath temperature for two hours. The mixture is cooled, then poured into a liter of ice and water. The resulting mixture is neutralized to pH 4 with aqueous sodium hydroxide solution. The solid which separates is filtered 01f, dried and recrystallized from isopropanol to give 9- methyl-6-trifiuoromethylacridine-4-carboxylic acid, M.P. 240-241 C.

EXAMPLE 4 2 bromo 5 trifluoromethylsulfinyl-nitrobenzene is reacted with cuprous cyanide and pyridine according to the procedure of Example 1 to give 2-nitro-4-trifluoromethylsulfinylbenzonitrile. The nitro compound is dissolved in acetic acid, the solution is heated at 60 C., zinc dust is added portionwise, and the mixture is heated at 70 C. for one hour. The hot solution is filtered through a layer of kieselguhr and the filtrate is concentrated in vacuo to about one-third volume and diluted with two to three volumes of water. The oily separation is extracted into benzene, the extracts dried and concentrated and the residue distilled in vacuo to give 2-amino-4-trifluoromethylsulfinylbenzonitrile.
Using 2 amino 4-trifluoromethylsulfinylbenzonitrile in place of 2-amino-4-trifiuoromethylbenzonitrile in the procedure of Example 1 gives 9-methyl-6-trifluoromethylsulfinylacridine-4-carboxylic acid.
EXAMPLE 5 2-chloro-5-methylthionitrobenzene is reduced with zincacetic acid by the procedure of Example 4 to give 2- chloro-S-methylthi-arfiline.

A solution of m-chloroperbenzoic acid in chloroform (5%) is added rapidly, dropwise to a cooled solution of 9-methyl-6 methylthioacridine 4 carboxylic acid in chloroform. After the addition is complete, the mixture is stirred an additional three hours at room temperature and then filtered to give 9-methyl-6-methylsulfinylacridinelcarboxylic acid.
EXAMPLE 6 Using 2-chloro-S-methylsulfonylaniline in place of 2- bromo-S-trifluoromethylaniline in the procedure of Example l, the product is 9-methyl-6-methylsulfonylacridine-4-carboxylic acid.

The mixture is heated at reflux for several hours, then concentrated to give diethylaminoethyl 9 methyl-6-trifluoromethylacridine-4-carboxylate hydrochloride. An ether-ethyl acetate solution of this compound is neutralized with aqueous sodium carbonate solution, extracted with ether and the ether extract concentrated in vacuo to give the free base. The free base is converted to other salts by reacting with excess amounts of the appropriate acid.
