Definitions

  • R and R are difierent lower alkyl groups of 1 to 6 carbon atoms
  • X is divalent alkylene of 2 or 3 carbon atoms
  • the present invention relates to new basic esters useful for the palliative treatment of Parkinsonism and the present application is a continuation of application Ser. No. 732,517, filed May 28, 1968, now abandoned, which is a continuation-in-part of application Ser. No. 390,173, filed Aug. 17, 1964, now abandoned.
  • the new anti-Parkinson compounds of the present invention have the formula:
  • R and R are different lower alkyl groups of 1 to 6 carbon atoms
  • X is divalent alkylene of 2 or 3 carbon atoms
  • the dosage and route of administration of the new anti-Parkinson compounds are in general the same as with known anti-Parkinson compounds. It is well recognized, however, that the dosage of active drug used for the treatment of Parkinsonism varies considerably from patient to patient and depending upon the severity of the condition existing in each patient as well as the length of time during which the patient has been affected with Parkinsonism. It is thus not possible to make a general rule with respect to amount and frequency of dosage as the physician or clinician must use his own best judgment.
  • the reaction is preferably but not necessarily carried out int he presence of a catalyst which is an alkali or alkaline earth metal alkoxide. Sodium methoxide is a particularly good catalyst.
  • the reaction is preferably carried out by heating the reactants II and III in a solvent such as light petroleum or n-heptane and the catalyst may be and usually is dissolved in a suitable solvent such as a sodium alkoxide which is present in excess of the corresponding alkanol.
  • the substituted acetic acid esters of Formula II which are used as the starting materials for the new compounds I, are prepared according to methods known per se.
  • Tests for pharmacological activity have been carried out on two of the compounds of the present invention together with comparative tests on compounds of similar structure.
  • the compounds tested were the hydrochlorides R and R are identical Me 0(CH ),N
  • mice Initially, the toxicities of compounds I to VI were determined in mice. Groups of 5 mice were each injected subcutaneously with solutions of compounds I, II, IV, V and VI and intravenously with a solution of compound III, and they were observed for toxic symptoms over a period of 24 hours. The number of animals that died in each group was noted and the LD (the median lethal dose), in mg./ kg. body weight, was calculated. The results were as follows:
  • the anti-tremorine activity of compounds I to VI was determined by dosing groups of 5 mice subcutaneously with a solution of each compound. After 30 minutes the mice were challenged with 40 mg./ kg. of tremorine administered intraperitoneally and the mice were assessed after a further 30 minutes for tremor. The degree of inhibition of tremor due to the tremorine was used to calculate the ED (medium efiective dose), and the results were as The mydriatic activity of compounds I and VI in mice was determined by dosing groups of 5 mice subcutaneous- 1y with a solution of each compound. After 20 minutes the eyes of the mice were inspected under a binocular microscope and the degree of mydriasis was measured in orbitary units by using a scale in one eyepiece. The results were used to determine the ED and were as follows:
  • mice The effect of compounds I and VI on the central nervous system was determined by measuring their inhibiting action in preventing convulsions due to the application of a maximal electroshock (MES) to the brain of mice.
  • MES maximal electroshock
  • Groups of 10 mice were injected subcutaneously with solutions of the compounds, then subjected to an MES one hour later.
  • the mice used had been preselected for their ability to exhibit maximum seizure before the active compound was administered.
  • the ED values for compounds I and II were 6.8 and 50 mg./kg. respectively, whereas compounds III to VI showed no inhibition of the MES.
  • Atropine is not used in the regular treatment of Parkinsonism as the side elfects are such that it would cause undue distress and hospitalization of the patient if used in therapeutic doses for the treatment of this condition.
  • EXAMPLE 1 A methanolic solution of sodium methoxide (from sodium (0.2 g.) and dry methanol (3 ml.) was added dropwise during minutes to a boiling solution of methyl u,a-diphenylglycollate (11 g.) and Z-ethylpropylaminoethanol (6 g.) in light petroleum (150 ml., B.P. 80-100") and the methanol that separated was removed by using a Dean and Starke apparatus. At the end of 5 hours no further separation of methanol occurred and the reaction mixture after being washed with water (3X 20 ml.) was extracted with 1 N hydrochloric acid (3X ml.).
  • EXAMPLE 2 Preparation of 2-(ethylpropylamino)ethyl a-cyclohexyl-a-phenylglycollate hydrochloride
  • a methanolic solution of sodium methoxide [from sodium (0.2 g.) in dry methanol (3 ml.)] was added dropwise during 20 minutes to a boiling solution of methyl a-cyclohexyl-u-phenylglycollate (16 g.) and 2-ethylpropylaminoethanol (12.7 g.) in light petroleum (500 ml., B.P. -100").
  • Esters of the following formula were prepared similarly (Ph, Me, Et, Pr and Bu stand for phenyl, methyl, ethyl, propyl and butyl, respectively):
  • the parent alcohol 3-(ethylpropylamino)propan-l-ol was obtained as follows:
  • Ethyl acrylate was added dropwise with stirring to an excess of n-propylamine (600 g.) containing water (10 ml.) and allowed to stand at room temperature for 4 hours. After removal of excess of propylamine, the residual oil was dissolved in ether, dried (MgSO the solvent removed by evaporation and the liquid distilled under reduced pressure to give ethyl fi-n-propylaminopropionate (136 g., 86%) as a colorless liquid, B.P. 78 C./9 mm., n 1.4258.
  • R and R cannot be identical and it is of critical significance that they be difierent lower alkyl groups as exemplified by the foregoing examples. It is only when R and R are dilferent lower alkyl groups that the full benefit and utility of the new compounds is realized for the treatment of Parkinsonism.
  • Compounds are known of similar constitution to the compounds of this invention but where the dialkylamino moiety has two like alkyl groups such as diethylamino or dipropylamino. Such compounds do not have anti-Parkinson utility, but on the contrary, may have utility as mere tranquilizers.
  • the lower alkyl groups of the dialkylamino moiety of the new compounds of this invention have different lower alkyl groups and an important aspect of the present invention resides in the discovery that these alkyl groups must be diiferent, because it they are not different, the resulting compounds have properties and usefulness for purposes other than the treatment of Parkinsonism.
  • the efiective dose of the new compounds of the present invention is below that which causes mydriasis whereas such is not true of substances hereintofore used in the treatment of Parkinsonism and wherein some effectiveness can be attained only by the use of such large dosages as to cause adverse unpleasant and even serious side effects such as blurred vision, dry mouth and symptoms of mydriasis.
