Definitions
- the present invention relates to new pharmaceutical compounds having useful anti-spasmodic properties.
- an anti-spasmodic drug is to relieve spasms of the smooth muscles.
- Smooth muscles line most of the visceral organs.
- the peristalsis and muscular activity of the stomach, intestines, gall bladder, urinary bladder, lung, the uterus, and to a degree the heart are all largely controlled by smooth muscles.
- Smooth muscles are innervated by the autonomic nervous system.
- the autonomic nervous system consists of two antagonistic branches--the sympathetic branch and the parasympathetic branch.
- the parasympathetic nerve impulses increase the irritability and tension of the smooth muscles; contrariwise, the sympathetic nerve impulses increase the tension and irritability of the muscles of the heart muscle and relax the smooth muscles of the other visceral organs.
- a spasm in a smooth muscle may be due to one of two causes. Either the smooth muscle may be receiving exaggerated impulses from the autonomic nervous system which create violent contractions in the muscle, or the muscle may be intrinsically stimulated into a spasm (most likely from chemical changes in the surrounding tissue).
- a spasm due to exaggerated impulses from the parasympathetic branch of the autonomic nervous system may often be corrected by administering atropine (an active alkaloid of belladonna, which serves to break a connection between the parasympathetic nerve and the smooth muscle. This ability and effect of atropine is called a "neurotropic effect".
- papaverine a derivative of opium which is classed as a narcotic.
- Papaverine has an ability to decrease intrinsically the contractility of smooth muscle; it has the ability to relax smooth muscles directly. This ability and effect of papaverine is called a "musculotropic effect.”
- a musculotropic effect In relieving spasms of smooth muscles generally, a musculotropic effect is acknowledged to be superior to a neurotropic effect.
- a neurotropic effect cannot relieve spasms intrinsic in the smooth muscle itself, while a musculotropic effect, by relaxing and decreasing the irritability and responsiveness of smooth muscle to stimulation from the autonomic nervous system, can help to relieve a smooth muscle spasm even when it is due to exaggerated impulses from the autonomic nervous system.
- Atropine produces undesirable side-reactions which presents a clinical difficulty.
- Atropine when given in effective doses, serves to break or partly break all the parasympathetic nerve-smooth muscle connections throughout the body.
- a spasm in a specific visceral organ such as a gastric or intestinal spasm (the spasm caused by exaggerated nerve impulses from the parasympathetic nervous system) undesirable side-actions due to the breaking of the parasympathetic nerve-muscle connections elsewhere in the body may occur.
- the most easily recognized of these undesirable side reactions are dilation of the pupil and dryness of the mouth, caused by the breaking of the parasympathetic connections to the iris and the saliva producing mechanism respectively.
- Atropine is acknowledged to have also a musculotropic effect, but its neurotropic effect is so strong that atropine must be given in minute doses not exceeding (1/60 to 1/40 grain). A dosage of 1/6 to 1/40 of a grain is too small to permit a significant musculotropic effect and when larger doses are administered undesirable side reactions are encountered.

1. Field of the Invention
The present invention relates to new pharmaceutical compounds having useful anti-spasmodic properties.
2. Description of the Prior Art
The purpose of an anti-spasmodic drug is to relieve spasms of the smooth muscles. Smooth muscles line most of the visceral organs. The peristalsis and muscular activity of the stomach, intestines, gall bladder, urinary bladder, lung, the uterus, and to a degree the heart are all largely controlled by smooth muscles. Smooth muscles are innervated by the autonomic nervous system. The autonomic nervous system consists of two antagonistic branches--the sympathetic branch and the parasympathetic branch. On all visceral organs except the heart the parasympathetic nerve impulses increase the irritability and tension of the smooth muscles; contrariwise, the sympathetic nerve impulses increase the tension and irritability of the muscles of the heart muscle and relax the smooth muscles of the other visceral organs.
A spasm in a smooth muscle may be due to one of two causes. Either the smooth muscle may be receiving exaggerated impulses from the autonomic nervous system which create violent contractions in the muscle, or the muscle may be intrinsically stimulated into a spasm (most likely from chemical changes in the surrounding tissue). A spasm due to exaggerated impulses from the parasympathetic branch of the autonomic nervous system may often be corrected by administering atropine (an active alkaloid of belladonna, which serves to break a connection between the parasympathetic nerve and the smooth muscle. This ability and effect of atropine is called a "neurotropic effect". A spasm intrinsic in the smooth muscle itself may often be corrected by papaverine (a derivative of opium which is classed as a narcotic). Papaverine has an ability to decrease intrinsically the contractility of smooth muscle; it has the ability to relax smooth muscles directly. This ability and effect of papaverine is called a "musculotropic effect."
In relieving spasms of smooth muscles generally, a musculotropic effect is acknowledged to be superior to a neurotropic effect. A neurotropic effect cannot relieve spasms intrinsic in the smooth muscle itself, while a musculotropic effect, by relaxing and decreasing the irritability and responsiveness of smooth muscle to stimulation from the autonomic nervous system, can help to relieve a smooth muscle spasm even when it is due to exaggerated impulses from the autonomic nervous system.
Atropine produces undesirable side-reactions which presents a clinical difficulty. Atropine when given in effective doses, serves to break or partly break all the parasympathetic nerve-smooth muscle connections throughout the body. Thus when atropine is given in sufficient dosage to relieve a spasm in a specific visceral organ, such as a gastric or intestinal spasm (the spasm caused by exaggerated nerve impulses from the parasympathetic nervous system) undesirable side-actions due to the breaking of the parasympathetic nerve-muscle connections elsewhere in the body may occur. The most easily recognized of these undesirable side reactions are dilation of the pupil and dryness of the mouth, caused by the breaking of the parasympathetic connections to the iris and the saliva producing mechanism respectively.
Atropine is acknowledged to have also a musculotropic effect, but its neurotropic effect is so strong that atropine must be given in minute doses not exceeding (1/60 to 1/40 grain). A dosage of 1/6 to 1/40 of a grain is too small to permit a significant musculotropic effect and when larger doses are administered undesirable side reactions are encountered.
U.S. Pat. No. 2,390,555 discloses a class of compounds comprising di-N-substituted aminoethyl esters of diphenylthioacetic acid of the general formula (C6 H5)2 --CH--COS--CH2 CH2 --R in which R represents a disubstituted amino radical of either the diethylamino group, the morpholino group or the piperidino group with N as the point of attachment. This patent discloses that the thio analogs of certain disubstituted acetic acid esters of aminoalcohols have desirable anti-spasmodic properties. These compounds have proven to be very effective and are widely used as anti-spasmodics without encountering the undesirable side reactions due to excessive neurotropic effect.

The general reaction in the synthesis of the antispasmodic compounds described in the following examples of the present invention involves the nucleophilic substitution of, for instance, diphenylacetyl chloride with certain heterocyclic thiol compounds. This reaction may be illustrated in the following scheme: ##STR4##
The thiol containing a heterocyclic ring may be reacted with diphenylacetyl chloride in dichloromethane by combining the reactants in a 1:1 molar ratio and gently heating under reflux condensation for approximately 1 -2 hours.
The desired acyl chlorides may be prepared from the carboxylic acid analogues by reaction with oxalyl chloride as follows: ##STR5##
The reaction may be performed under reflux condensation. Following the reaction, which may be complete within a few hours, the acid chlorides may be vacuum-distilled and reacted with a thiol compound as described above.
The anti-spasmodic compounds of the present invention may be effective in a dosage range of from about 1 to about 15 mg/kilogram of body weight per day. A preferred dosage is in the range of from about 1.5 to about 11.5 mg/kilogram of body weight per day. A still more preferred dosage range is from about 3 to about 6 mg/kilogram of body weight per day.
The anti-spasmodic compounds of the present invention may be combined with a pharmaceutically acceptable carrier and may be administered orally, typically in tablets of 400 mg active ingredient, total 1155 mg, or by intravenous injection, or by topical application.
Because the anti-spasmodic compounds of the present invention may hydrolyze slowly in water, they are preferably not used as a solution or aqueous suspension unless freshly prepared compounds. It may be possible, however, to suspend the microspheres of these compounds in non-aqueous liquids for administration to patients.
As examples which are illustrative of, but are not limited to, the compounds of the present invention, there may be mentioned the following compounds designated as 1(a--x) through 9(a--x). R1, R2 and n for these compounds are located in Table I .[.on page 12.].: ##STR6##

The compounds of this invention are anti-muscarinic agents (cholinergic-muscarinic receptor antagonists) which inhibit the actions of acetylcholine on autonomic effectors innervated by postganglionic cholinergic nerves as well as on smooth muscle that lacks cholinergic innervation. Since a major component of parasympathetic control of smooth muscle occurs via muscarinic receptors, these compounds may be effective as modifiers of smooth muscle activity.
Thiphenamil hydrochloride has been shown to decrease spasms of the gastrointestinal tract, biliary tract, ureter and uterus without producing characteristic atropinic side effects, on salivary and sweat glands, GI glands, or the cardiovascular system. This invention results in compounds which may be as efficacious as thiphenamil hydrochloride, or more so, in relaxing various smooth muscle systems while at the same time demonstrating thiphenamil hydrochloride's lack of associated side-effects.
