Description

The present invention, developed at the Pierre FABRE Research Center, concerns new chemical compounds derived from 2-benzoyl-4-nitroanilides, their method of preparation and their use in therapy.
The chemical compounds which are the object of the present invention are represented by general formula I: ##STR2## in which:
R represents a linear or branched alkyl group or an alkenyl, cycloalkyl or benzyl group;
R1 represents a hydrogen atom or an alkyl or hydroxyalkyl group;
R2 represents a hydroxyalkyl, alkenyl, or alkynyl group, possibly substituted one or more times by an alkyl radical, or a cycloalkyl group having 3 to 6 carbom atoms;
R1 and R2 may furthermore form, with the nitrogen atom to which they are bound, a nitrogen heterocycle, possibly including a second heteroatom selected from among oxygen and nitrogen.
The present invention also applies to salts of compounds of formula I obtained with therapeutically acceptable inorganic or organic acids.
The present invention also relates to a method of preparing compounds of formula I which are characterized by condensing a compound of general formula II: ##STR3## in which
R has the meaning given in connection with general formula I, and
X represents a halogen atom; with an amine of general formula III ##STR4## in which
R1 and R2 have the meaning given in connection with general formula I.
The products of general formula II may be prepared by one of the two following methods:
Method a:
from 2-halo-5nitro-benzophenone ##STR5##
Method b:
from 2-amino-5-nitro-benzophenone ##STR6## X and R having the meanings given above.
The present invention finally relates to the use of the compounds of general formula I as medicaments which are active on the central nervous system and in particular as hypnotics.
The present invention will be described below in further detail in connection with the following nonlimitative examples:
EXAMPLE 1 Hydrochloride of N-methyl-2'-benzoyl-4'-nitro-2-morpholino acetanilide (A) Preparation of 2-methylamino-5-nitro-benzophenone
Method a:
To a suspension of 2.61 g (0.01 mol) of 2-chloro-5-nitro-benzophenone in 20 cc of ethanol of 95° GL there are added 7.75 cc (0.1 mol) of 40% methylamine in water, and then 0.15 g of cuprous chloride and 0.15 g of powdered copper. After heating for five hours at 60° C., the suspension is evaporated to dryness and the residue is absorbed by a 1 N solution of hydrochloric acid.
Extraction is effected with ethyl acetate followed by washing with water until neutral and drying over sodium sulfate. Upon recrystallization from a mixture of ethyl acetate and hexane (75:25) there are obtained 2.28 g of yellow crystals. Melting point 168° C. Yield about 90%.

Method b:
A suspension of 11.07 g (0.031 mol) of 2-benzamido-5-nitro benzophenone and 724 mg (0.003 mol) of benzyltriethyl ammonium chloride is heated to 60° C. in 450 cc of toluene. 16 cc of 10 N caustic soda (0.16 mol) and 10 cc of methyl sulfate (0.1 mol) in 50 cc of toluene are added simultaneously drop by drop. The reaction mixture is maintained under strong agitation at 60° C. for 8 hours. After return to room temperature, it is diluted and allowed to settle. The organic phase is evaporated and the residue absorbed by 200 cc of ethanol and 60 cc of 6 N caustic soda (0.36 mol). After heating for two hours at 70° C., the ethanol is evaporated, the residue is absorbed by ethyl acetate, washed with water and dried over sodium sulfate. Upon recrystallization from a mixture of ethyl acetate and hexane (75:25), there are recovered 7.22 g of yellow crystals. Melting point 168° C. Yield 88%.
(B) Preparation of N-methyl-2'-benzoyl-4'-nitro-2-bromo acetanilide
To a suspension of 2.56 g (0.01 mol) of 2- methylamino-benzophenone in 100 cc of toluene there is added 1.05 cc (0.012 mol) of bromacetyl choride and the reaction mixture is heated for 8 hours at 100° C.
It is allowed to return to room temperature, whereupon an iced solution of 5 g of sodium carbonate in 100 cc of water is added and agitation is effected for 15 minutes. It is allowed to settle; the organic phase is washed with water until neutral and dried over sodium sulfate. It is filtered and the organic phase evaporated; the residual oil obtained is crystallized by trituration in ether. 2.85 g of beige-colored crystals are recovered. Melting point 95° C. Yield: 76%.

(C) Preparation of N-methyl-2'-benzoyl-4'-nitro-2-morpholino-acetanilide hydrochloride
To a solution of 3.77 g (0.01 mol) of N-methyl-2'-benzoyl-4'-nitro-2-bromo acetanilide in 30 cc of methylene chloride, 2.6 cc (0.03 mol) of morpholine are rapidly added. The reaction mixture is maintained under vigorous agitation for four hours at room temperature and then refluxed for one hour. It is extracted twice with 3 N hydrochloric acid; the aqueous phases are treated with sodium bicarbonate and then extracted with ethyl acetate.
It is washed with water until neutral and dried over sodium sulfate. It is decolorized by means of animal black. After filtration and evaporation of the solvent, there is obtained a residual oil which is treated with a saturated ethanolic solution of hydrochloric acid.
The hydrochloride formed is precipitated by addition of ether and by recrystallization from a mixture of methanol and isopropyl ether. There is recovered, in a yield of 82%, a product having the formula: ##STR7##

The compounds of the present invention, which have a remarkable action on the central nervous system, are therefore capable of being administered to man or animal orally or by injection, in the form of a free base or else in the form of one of their therapeutically acceptable salts.
By way of simple illustration, there are indicated below a few results of various toxicological and pharmacological tests carried out on the chemical compounds of the invention.
PHARMACOLOGICAL PROPERTIES
(A) Tests Used
(1) Toxicity Study
The compounds of the present invention were subjected to toxicity controls. The LD50 is between 500 and 3000 mg/kg for all the derivatives tested. It was determined orally and calculated in accordance with the method of Miller and Tainter (Proc. Soc. exper. Biol. Med., 1944, 57, 261).
(2) Activity in the Rotarod Test
This test was carried out on male mice of Swiss strain. The mouse was placed on a wooden rod of a diameter of 3 cm rotating at the rate of 5 revolutions per minute. The mice who are able to remain on the rod for at least three minutes during the course of successive tests are selected and assembled in groups of 10 for the testing of each dose. If the mouse falls from the rod in less than two minutes, the compound tested is considered effective.
The results of the compounds are expressed as ED50 in accordance with N. W. Dunham and T. S. Miva--J. Amer. Pharm. Assoc., 1957, 46, 208. The ED50 values of the compounds of greatest interest vary from 0.2 to 20 mg/kg.
(3) Anti-pentetrazol activity
This test was carried out on a group of 10 male mice of Swiss strain. Within a period of 15 minutes after the subcutaneous injection of 125 mg/kg of penetrazol, the mice have tonic convulsions the outcome of which is fatal. For the test, the compounds are administered orally 60 minutes before the injection of pentetrazol. The animals are observed for two hours after administration of the pentetrazol.
The results are expressed by the effective dose ED50 in accordance with Goodmann et al. J. Pharmacol. 108,1953. The ED50 values of the most interesting compunds vary from 0.1 to 3 mg/kg.
THERAPEUTIC APPLICATIONS
In view of their pharmacological properties and their low toxicity, these chemical compounds can be used in therapy and, more particularly, for the treatment of insomnia.
These compounds and their therapeutically compatible acid addition salts can be used as drugs, for instance in the form of pharmaceutical preparations suitable for enteral or parenteral administration with, for instance, water, lactose, gelatin, starches, magnesium stearate, talc, vegetable oils, gums, polyalkylene glycols, petroleum jelly, etc.
These preparations may be in solid form, for instance in the form of tablets, pills, capsules, etc., or else in liquid form, for instance solutions, suspensions or emulsions.
The pharmaceutical preparations in a form suitable for injection are preferred. These preparations can be subjected to conventional pharmaceutical operations such as sterilization and/or may contain adjuvants, for instance preservatives, stabilizers, wetting or emulsifying agents, buffer compounds, etc.
The doses in which the active compounds and their therapeutically compatible acid addition salts can be administered may vary within large proportions depending on the condition of the patient. A daily dose of about 0.01 mg to 1 mg per kg of body weight is, however, preferred.
The pharmaceutical compositions of the invention can be used in medicine, for instance in the treatment of insomnia. Such compositions may furthermore contain other active principles which supplement or reinforce the therapeutic action of the derivatives of general formula I of the present invention.
Of course, the present invention is not limited to the particular examples, which have been given merely by way of illustration, but it is entirely possible, without thereby going beyond the scope of the inveniton, to devise a number of variants and modifications thereof.
