3 Claims, No Drawings N-TRlTYL-IMIDAZOLES This is a divisional application of Ser. No. 13,797 filed Feb. 24, 1970 which is a divisional of Ser. No. 758,594 filed Sept. 9, 1968, now US. Pat. No. 3,660,577.
The present invention is concerned with N-trityl imidazoles and salts thereof and the production of such compounds. More particularly, the present invention is concerned with N-trityl-imidazoles and salts thereof of the formula:
X, X and X" are alkyl of one to 12 carbon atoms or an electro-negative moiety, and
n, n and n" are integer from to 2, or pharmaceutically acceptable acid salts thereof. When R, R or R are alkyl moieties, those having one to four carbon atoms are preferred. When X, X or X" is an alkyl moiety, it is preferred that such have one to 12 carbon atoms and such moieties having one to four carbon atoms areespecially preferred. Electro-negative substituents which are particularly preferred are the halogens, i.e., fluorine, chlorine, bromine and iodine, N0 CF CN, as well as S-lower alkyl and O-lower alkyl; it is preferred that the alkyl moieties have oneto four carbon atoms. The term alkyl and lower alkyl comprises straight chain as well as branched chain alkyl moieties and also include those containing a double bond.
The salts of the N-trityl-imidazoles (I) are the pharmaceutically acceptable non-toxic acid salts. Examples of suitable acids are the hydrohalic acids (hydrochloric being particularly preferred), phosphoric acid, monoand bifunctional carboxylic acids, such as acetic acid, propionic acid, maleic acid, succinic acid, fumaric acid, tartaric acid, citric acid, salicylic acid, sorbic acid, lactic acid and l,5-naphthalene-disulphonic acid. The hydrohalides, especially the hydrochlorides, lactates and salicylates are of particular value.
In a particularly preferred embodiment of the present invention, the N-trityl-imidazoles have the formula:
wherein X, X and X" are alkyl of one to 12 carbon atoms or electro-negative substituents and n, n and n" are 1 or 2. With regard to Formula Ila, particularly preferred substituent values are those where X" is fluorine, chlorine, bromine, iodine, N0 CF CN, SCI-l OCH and n" is l.
The compounds of the present invention can be prepared'according to techniques per se known, such as by reacting silver salts or alkali metal salts, in particular the potassium salts of imidazoles of the Formula 111 with trityl halides of the Formula 1V:
IL, X. I]... QM
(III) wherein R, R and R, X, X and X" and n, n and n" have the above meanings and 1 Hal is chlorine, bromine or iodine, in an inert solvent such as benzene, toluene, hexane, cyclohexane or diethyl ether, at a temperature of from about 20C to about C lcf. Chem. Ber. 92, 92 (1959); 93, 570
(1960)], W 7 7 7 V 7 W".
The compounds of the present invention can also be prepared according to techniques per se known by reacting imidazole derivatives of the Formula 111 with trityl-carbinols (cf. the reaction of the carbinol corresponding to the halide IV with secondary amines). In this case, the imidazole is generally used in an excess of up to about 100 percent. 1f the process is carried out under pressure, molar amounts may be used. Furthermore, it may be expedient to carry out the elimination of water azeotropically in the presence of a high boiling inert organic solvent, such as xylene, chlorobenzenes and the like, at the boiling point of the solvent used. In the absence of solvents, the process is carried out at a temperature range of from about C to about 230C and preferably from about C to about C.
It may further be expedient to facilitate the elimination of water by working in the presence of dehydrating agents, such as e.g. alkaline earth metal oxides (MgO, BaO, CaO) and of A1 0 ,approximately molar amounts being generally used, but possibly also an excess of up to about 2 3 moles.

By analogous procedure, l-(tris-phenyl-methyl) imidazole is produced from 1-tris-phenyl-methyl-carbinol and imidazole and l-(p-tolyl-diphenyl)-imidazole is produced from l-p-tolyl-diphenyl-methyl-carbinol and imidazole.

When 15 30 mg are administered twice per os to guinea pigs weighing 400 grams, a reproducible effect on the course of the infection and rapid healing of the mycotic lesions is found.
Equally effective results are produced when other compounds within the scope of (I) or salts of compounds within the scope of (I) and specifically slats of compounds (a),(e),(f),(g),(i) and (P) are used. Compounds which are unsubstituted in the imidazole ring may be substituted in one phenyl group by a halogen atom, preferably chlorine or fluorine in the o-, mor pposition; such compounds and their salts with hydrochloric acid, lactic acid or salicylic acid are particularly useful. The following usages and dosage ranges are used for the compounds of the present invention:
a. for use with humans:
1. dermatomycoses, caused by fungi of the species Trychophytes, Microsporium, Epidermophytes, Aspergillus, Candida albicans and other yeasts;
2. organomycoses caused by yeasts, mould fungi and dermatophytes;
b. for veterinary use:
dermatomycoses and organomycoses caused by yeasts, mould fungi and dermatophytes.
The compounds of the present invention are administered orally or parenterally as well as locally in the form of solutions, e.g., dimethyl sulphoxide/glycerol/water 2:2:6, alcohol, preferably ethanol and isopropanol, buffer solutions, powders, tablets.
The dosage range for humans is in the range of from about 20 to about 100 mg/kg and preferably from about 40 to about mg/kg. Administration is generally recommended at intervals of about 12 hours and such administration should be continued for from about 10 to about 60 days.
Nevertheless it may sometimes be necessary to digress from the aforesaid amounts, dependent on the method of administration or also on account of individual reactions to the medicine or on the type of its formulation and the moment in time or the intervals at which it is administered. In some cases, it may be sufficient to use less than the minimum amount stated above, whereas in other cases it may be necessary to go beyond the stated upper limit. If larger amounts are applied, it may be advisable to distribute these over a day in several individual doses.
The compounds of the present invention can be used either as such or in combination with pharmaceutically acceptable carriers. Suitable forms for administration in combination with various inert carriers are tablets, capsules, powders, sprays, aqueous suspensions, injectable solutions, elixirs, syrups and the like. Carriers of this type comprise solid extenders or fillers, a sterile aqueous medium as well as various non-toxic organic solvents and the like. Obviously, the tablets and the like suitable for oral administration can be provided with an addition of saccharin or a similar additive. In the aforesaid case, the therapeutically active compound should be present in the total mixture at a concentration of about 0.5 to per cent by weight, i.e., in quantities which suffice to attain the range of dosage mentioned above.
In the case of oral administration, obviously, tablets may also contain additives such as sodium citrate, calcium carbonate and dicalcium phosphate together with various additives such as starch, preferably potato starch and the like, and binders such as polyvinyl-pyrrolidone, gelatin and the like. It is further possible to add lubricants such as magnesium stearate, sodium lauryl-sulphate and tale for producing tablets. In the case of aqueous suspensions and/or elixirs which are intended for oral administration, the active ingredient may be used together with various agents for improving the flavor, dyestuffs, emulsifiers and/or diluents, such as water, ethanol, propylene-glycol, glycerol and other compounds or combinations of this type.
In the case of parenteral administration, there may be used solutions of the active ingredients in sesame or peanut oil or in aqueous propylene-glycol of N,N- dimethyl formamide, as well as sterile aqueous solutions if the compounds are water-soluble. Such aqueous solution should be buffered in. the usual manner, if required, and the liquid diluent should previously be rendered isotonic by the addition of the necessary amount of salt or glucose. These aqueous solutions are particularly suitable for intravenous, intramuscular and intraperitoneal injections.
in humans, a dosage of 40 mg/kg administered at intervals of 12 hours result in a blood level of between and 11 y/ml. The half-life period in human serum in vivo amounts to 6 hours on the average. Up to 30 to 40 percent of the administered amount of the substance are excreted with the urine in active form. The resorption quota amounts to more than 70 percent in the case of oral administration.
The LD for mice, rats, rabbits, dogs and cats lies between about 600 and 2,200 mg of the stated compounds/kg body weight in the case or oral administration.
The present invention also includes pharmaceutial compositions comprising at least one of the N-tritylimidazoles or salts thereof in admixture with a solid or liquid diluent or carrier which may be any of the conventional diluents or carriers used in pharmaceuticalpound of the present invention, Such portions may, for 7 example, be in monolithic coherent form, such as tablets, suppositories, pills or dragees; in wrapped or concealed form, such as wrapped powders, cachets, sachets or capsules, in ampules such as in sterile solution; or in other forms known to the art.
What is claimed is:
l. A compound of the formula:
wherein X is 0-lower alkyl, or a pharmaceutically acceptable non-toxic salt thereof.
2. A salt according to claim 1 selected from the group consisting of hydrochloride, phosphate, acetate,
propionate, maleate, succinate, fumarate, tartrate, citrate, salicylate, sorbate, lactate or 1,5-naphthalenedisulphonate.
3. The compound according to claim I which is l-(omethoxyphenyl-diphenyl-methyl)-imidazole.
