- Methyl 2-(5-methyl-2-benzofuranyl)benzoate A solution of methyl 2-bromobenzoate (11.70g), Intermediate 1 (12.75g) and tetrakis(triphenylphosphine) palladium (0) (0.5g) in DME (300ml) and 2N Na 2 CO 3 (60ml) was heated to reflux with vigorous stirring under nitrogen. After 1.5h a further 500mg of catalyst was added and stirring at reflux under nitrogen continued. After about 5h the reaction mixture was cooled to room temperature and diluted with ether (300ml). The organic layer was separated and washed with water (3 ⁇ 100ml) and dried.
- p-Cresol (100g) in dry THF(100ml) was added dropwise to a mechanically stirred, freshly prepared solution of ethyl magnesium bromide [magnesium (25.0g) and bromoethane (75ml)] in THF (500ml) under nitrogen at a rate which maintained a slow reflux (about 30mins). After a further 30mins toluene (1.21) was added, followed by 1,3-dimethyl-3,4,5,6-tetrahydro-2(1H)-pyrimidone (125ml), and paraformaldehyde (70g). The mixture was then heated at reflux for 16h.
- Triethylamine (57.4g) was added to a mechanically stirred suspension of Intermediate 9 (101g) in dry dichloromethane (2.9 litres) at room temperature under nitrogen.
- Triphenylmethyl chloride (79.3g) followed by DMAP (1.0g) were added at room temperature and the mixture stirred for 3h under nitrogen.
- the reaction mixture was washed with water, then brine and dried.
- the solvent was filtered and concentrated to a volume of about 1.2 litres then filtered through silica (Merck 9385, 14cm diam. column). Elution with dichloromethane gave a colourless solid (158.4g) which was triturated with ether and filtered to give the title compound as a colourless solid (147.9g).
- the compounds of the invention are tested in vitro for angiotensin II antagonism.
- Aortic strips are obtained from male New Zealand white rabbits and prepared for recording isometric contractions in response to cumulative addition of angiotensin II.
- the potencies of test antagonists are assessed by measuring their abilities to displace the angiotensin II cumulative concentration response curve.
- the method used is that of Ackerly et al., Proc. Natl. Acad. Sci., 74(12), pp5725-28 (1977) with the exception that the final composition of the physiological salt solution is as given below in Table 1:
- HCO 3 25.0 glucose 11.1 indomethacin 0.005 ascorbic acid 0.1
- the tissues are initially challenged with K+ (80mM) and then washed at 0, 5, 10 and 15 minutes after the response to K+ has plateaued. After a further 45 minutes an angiotensin II cumulative response curve is constructed (0.1 nM to 0.1 ⁇ M in 10-fold increments) and the tissues are washed as before.
- a second, third and fourth angiotensin II cumulative response curve (0.1 nM to 0.1 ⁇ M in 3-fold increments) is then constructed at hourly intervals (15 minutes washing after each curve followed by 45 minutes equilibration).
- the compounds of the invention (30 ⁇ M) are tested for angiotensin II antagonism by application 45 minutes before construction of the fourth angiotensin II curve.
- the third and fourth angiotensin II curves are expressed graphically and a concentration ratio (CR) is calculated by dividing the angiotensin II EC 50 value obtained in the presence of the test antagonist (i.e. fourth curve) by the angiotensin II EC 50 value obtained in the absence of the test antagonist (i.e. third curve).
- the potency of the test antagonist is expressed as a pKb which is calculated from the equation :
- Compounds of the invention will desirably exhibit a pKb in the range between 5 and 12.
- the compounds of the invention inhibit the action of the hormone angiotensin II and are therefore useful in the treatment of conditions in which it is desirable to inhibit angiotensin II activity.
- the compounds of the Examples have been tested in the above test and have been found to be active.
- a compound of general formula (I) or a physiologically acceptable salt, solvate or metabolically labile ester thereof for the manufacture of a therapeutic agent for the treatment of conditions associated with excessive or unregulated angiotensin II activity.
- a method for the treatment of conditions associated with excessive or unregulated angiotensin II activity in a mammal including man comprising administration of an effective amount to a mammal in need of such treatment a compound of general formula (I) or a physiologically acceptable salt, solvate or metabolically labile ester thereof.
- active ingredient is used herein to represent a compound of formula (I).
- the tablets may be coated with a thin polymer coat applied by film coating techniques well known to those skilled in art. Pigments may be incorporated in the film coat.
- the contents of the cartridges may be administered using a powder inhaler.
- Sodium chloride may be added to adjust the tonicity of the solution and the pH may be adjusted to that of maximum stability and/or to facilitate solution of the active ingredient using dilute acid or alkali or by the addition of suitable buffer salts.
- Antioxidants and metal chelating salts may also be included.
- the solution is prepared, clarified and filled into appropriate sized ampoules sealed by fusion of the glass.
- the injection is sterilised by heating in an autoclave using one of the acceptable cycles.
- the solution may be sterilised by filtration and filled into sterile ampoules under aseptic conditions.
- the solution may be packed under an inert atmosphere of nitrogen.
