This invention relates to novel 1 , 2 , 4-triazole de¬ rivatives of formulae ( la)
Figure imgf000003_0001
wherein
Rl and R2, which are the same or different, stand for hydrogen; - - alkyl or Cι_4 alkenyl group; or a phenyl group optionally substituted by C±-4 alkyl or alkoxy group; and n is 0, 1 or 2, as well as their acid-addition salts and pharmaceutical compositions containing these compounds. According to an other aspect of the invention there is provided a process for the preparation of new com¬ pounds of general formulae (la) and (lb) as well as acid-addition salts thereof.
The novel triazole derivatives of general formulae
SUBSTITUTESHEET (la) and (lb) of the invention possess valuable pharmaco¬ logical effects. Namely, they inhibit the gastric acid secretion, moreover they exert a significant protective effect on the gastric mucose (cytoprotective action) . Thus, they can very preferably be used as active agents of medicaments against ulcer of the digestive system.
The invention relates also to a method of treatment, which comprises administering a therapeutical- ly effective amount of a compound of formula (la) or (lb) or a pharmaceutically acceptable acid-addition salt thereof into the organism of a patient for protecting the gastric mucose or against ulcers of the digestive system.
In a preferable group of the compounds of general formulae (la) and (lb) of the invention R^ means hydrogen or methyl group, R2 stands for a methyl group and n is 0 or 1.
The following compounds are especially preferred:
3-{ [2-(dimethylamino)benzyl]sulfinyl}-4,5-dimethyl- -1,2,4-triazole, 3-{ [2-(dimethylamino)benzyl]thio}-4,5-dimethyl- -1,2,4-triazole,
3-{ [2-(dimethylamino)benzyl]thio}-2-methyl-1,2,4- -triazole,
3-{ [2-(dimethylamino)benzyl]thio}-2,5-dimethyl- -1,2,4-triazole, and the acid addition salts of these compounds.
It is known that compounds inhibiting gastric-acid secretion bear the highest importance in the treatment of ulcers of the digestive system. One type of these co - pounds is represented by the histamine-2-receptor- -blocking agents (such as e.g. ci etidine and ranitidine) ; whereas an other type of these compounds involves substances acting by inhibition of the H+/K+-ATP-ase enzyme. The major part of gastric acid secretion-inhibiting
SUBSTITUTESHEET compounds of the latter type are benzimidazole deriva¬ tives discussed e.g. in the published European patent applications Nos. 0,005,129 and 0,204,215 as well as in the United States patent specifications Nos. 4,045,564, 4,359,465, and 4,472,409. From these compounds, 2-{[3,5- -dimethyl-4-methoxypyridin-2-yl)methyl]sulfinyl}-5- -methoxy-lH-benzimidazole has been recently introduced to therapy.
Gastric acid secretion-inhibiting pyrimidinone de- rivatives are described in the published Japanese patent applications Nos. 60-228,465 and 60-197,673 as well as in the Hungarian patent specification No. 203,736.
Among the compounds having similar effect, imidazole derivatives fused with various heterocycles (e.g. in the published European patent applications Nos. 0,234,485 and 0,234,690), substituted oxazole, thiazole and imidazole derivatives (in the published European patent application No. 0,262,845) as well as imidazole, triazole and tetrazole derivatives (in the published Japanese patent application No. 62-207,270) have also been disclosed. However, the triazole derivatives published in the last-mentioned literature reference can well be distinguished from the compounds of general formulae (la) and (lb) of the present invention. The aim of the present invention is to prepare com¬ pounds, the gastric acid secretion-inhibiting effect of which reaches or exceeds that of active substances of the prior art without adverse side-effects and which exert a significant cytoprotective action, too. It has been found during our investigations that the compounds of the invention, which are structurally different from the gastric acid secretion-inhibiting substances known in the art, entirely satisfy the above demands. Furthermore, it has surprisingly been found that
SUBSTITUTESHEET compounds of general formulae (la) and (lb) of the in¬ vention, wherein R^ and R are as defined above and n is zero, can be prepared in excellent yield and high purity in such a way that, contrary to the usual S-alkylation, a 1,2,4-triazolethiol of general formula (Ila)

respectively, wherein Rj_ and R 2 are as defined above, or a tautomer thereof is reacted with a compound of general formula (III) ,
Figure imgf000006_0003
wherein X stands for a leaving group, or with an acid- addition salt thereof without using any base.
Thus, according to the present invention, the 1,2,4-triazole derivatives of general formulae (la) and
SUBSTITUTESHEET (lb) , wherein R]_, R2 and n are as defined above, and their acid-additon salts can be prepared by reacting a compound of general formula (Ila) or (lib) , respectively, wherein R^ and R2 are as defined above, or a tautomer thereof with a compound of general formula (III) , wherein X means a leaving group, or with an acid-addition salt thereof and, if desired, transforming an obtained com¬ pound of general formula (la) or (lb) , respectively, wherein and R2 are as defined above and n is zero, to a compound of general formula (la) or (lb) , respectively, wherein R± and R2 are as defined above and n is 1 or 2, by oxidation and optionally by subsequent reduction and/or converting an obtained base to an acid-addition salt by using an organic or inorganic acid or converting an obtained salt to the corresponding free base.
According to the definition accepted in the litera¬ ture [T. A. Geissman: Principles of Organic Chemistry, 3rd ed. , ed. . H. Freeman, London (1968)] the leaving group X is meant to be a group which can easily be split by a nucleophilic reagent. Such groups are the halogen atoms, especially chlorine, bromine and iodine; as well as sulfonyloxy groups, e.g. the lower alkylsulfonyloxy and optionally substituted benzenesulfonyloxy or toluene- sulfonyloxy groups. According to a preferred embodiment of the process of the invention the starting substances [of which the compound of general formula (III) is preferably used in the form of an acid-addition salt] are dissolved in a di¬ polar aprotic solvent, preferably N,N-dimethylformamide, N,N-dimethylacetamide, dimethylsulfoxide or aceto- nitrile, and then the components are reacted in a homo¬ geneous solution at a temperature between 10 °C and 60 °C, suitably between 20 °C and 40 °C. The duration of the reaction varies from 5 minutes to 24 hours depending on the reagents used. The compounds of general formulae
SUBSTITUTESHEET (la) and (lb) , wherein R^ and R2 are as defined above and n is zero, formed in the alkylation reaction are separated as acid-addition salts or preferably in the base form after liberation by aqueous sodium hydrogen carbonate solution and extraction into a halogenated hydrocarbon, preferably methylene chloride or chloroform. According to the invention, in order to prepare compounds of the general formulae (la) and (lb) , wherein Rl and R are as defined above and n is 1 or 2, a com- pound of general formula (la) or (lb) , respectively, wherein Ri and R are as defined above and n is zero, obtained in the above-described alkylation reaction is treated with an oxidizing agent suitable to oxidize the S atom of the molecule to a sulfinyl or sulfonyl group, respectively. The transformation of this type can be accomplished by a number of reagents known in the litera¬ ture. It is advantageous to use 3-chloroperbenzoic acid, tert-butyl hydroperoxide, sodium hypochlorite or hydrogen peroxide in the presence of metal ions. The use of 3- -chloroperbenzoic acid is particularly preferred.
Furthermore, it is suitable to employ the oxidizing agent in a small, preferably 0.1 to 0.4 equivalent, excess. The reaction can be carried out in organic solvents, pre¬ ferably halogenated hydrocarbons at room temperature. When necessary, the final product preferably separated in the base form can be purified by recrystallization or column chromatography, suitably by using silica gel.
According to the invention compounds of the general formula (la) or (lb) , wherein R^ and R2 are as defined above and n is 1, can alternatively preferably be prepared by oxidizing a compound of general formula (la) or (lb) , respectively, wherein Ri and R2 are as defined above and n is zero, obtained in the alkylating reaction, in an organic solvent, preferably in a halogenated hydro- carbon, at room temperature by using 3-chloroperbenzoic
SUBSTITUTESHEET acid in an excess of 0.5 to 0.8 equivalent. In this case a mixed oxidation product is obtained which consists mainly of an N-oxide type intermediate of general formula (IVa)

or (IVb) ,
Figure imgf000009_0002
respectively, wherein R^ and R are as defined above, and of a small amount of a compound of general formula (la) or (lb) , respectively, wherein R^ and R2 are as defined above and n is 1. It has been recognized that the part of the reaction mixture consisting of the compound of general formula (IVa) or (IVb) , respectively, can also be transformed to the desired sulfinyl compound (n = l) of general formula (la) or (lb) , respectively, in such a manner that, after termination of the oxidizing reaction, the N-oxide of general formula (IVa) or (IVb) , respect- ively, is extracted with water from the halogenated hydrocarbon used and then it is reduced by using sulfurous acid in an aqueous solution. The reduction by sulfurous acid may be carried out either in the separated aqueous solution or in the heterogeneous reaction mixture containing the halogenated hydrocarbon and water. In the
SUBSTITUTESHEET first case the sulfinyl compound of general formula (la) or (lb) , respectively, obtained by the reduction is re¬ covered from the aqueous solution after alkalinization by extracting it with a halogenated hydrocarbon. After combining the extract obtained with the halogenated hydrocarbon solution arising from the original reaction mixture and evaporating it, the desired sulfinyl compound is obtained which is then purified, when necessary, by recrystallization. in the reduction carried out in a heterogeneous system the halogenated hydrocarbon solution containing the sulfinyl compound of general formula (la) or (lb) , respectively, is directly obtained and then worked up as described above. In the above-described combined reaction route (in¬ cluding both oxidation and reducing steps) sulfinyl com¬ pounds with a suitable quality can be obtained without purification by column chromatography, too.
The compounds of general formulae (la) and (lb) of the invention can be converted to acid-addition salts by using commonly known and employed processes or, if in the process according to the invention salts are obtained, if desired, the corresponding bases can be liberated.
The starting substances of the process according to the invention are usually known and commercially avail¬ able; or they can be prepared from easily available basic materials by using known methods.
As mentioned in the introduction, the compounds of general formulae (la) and (lb), werein R^, R2 and n are as defined in the introductory part, possess significant in vivo gastric acid secretion-inhibiting and cytoprotec- tive effect.
The gastric acid secretion-inhibiting, ulcer-in¬ hibiting and cytoprotective effects of the compounds of general formulae (la) and (lb) were proven by investiga-
SUBSTITUTESHEET tions under in vivo conditions by using the methods described hereinafter under items 2 to 4. The compound 2- -{[2-(dimethylamino)benzyl]sulfinyl}-l,4-benzimidazole [Drugs of the Future ϋ, 186 (1988) ; hereinafter compound 5 NC-1300] and omeprazole (see the published European patent application No. 0,005,129) were used as reference drugs.
The fact that the compounds of general formulae (la) and (lb) of the invention exert their above-mentioned
10 effects by inhibiting the H+/K+-ATP-ase enzyme, was supported by in vivo investigations described below under item 1, wherein omeprazole was used as reference drug. 1. Assay of the H+/K+-ATP-ase enzyme inhibition The H+/K+-ATP-ase enzyme was prepared by using the
15 modified method of H. Chang et al. [Biochim. Biophys. Acta 464. 313-327 (1977) ] on swine gastric mucosa. A G2 fraction purified on sugar gradient was used in these measurements. The enzyme activity was measured in 1 ml volume of the reaction mixture containing 2 mM of MgCl2,
20 2 mM of ATP, 20 mM of potassium chloride and enzyme in 40 mM of TRIS acetate (pH = 7.4) buffer solution. The activity of Mg++-ATP-ase enzyme was measured in the absence of potassium chloride. The H+/K+-ATP-ase enzyme activity was obtained as the difference between these
25 two values.

The average IC50 values of these compounds measured on 5 two preparations are 6.6 μM and 8.5 μM, respectively, which are better than that of omeprazole (IC50 = 10.7 μM) used as reference drug.
2. Determination of the gastric acid secretion-in¬ hibiting effect by using Shay's method 10 After 24-hour starvation female SPRD rats weighing 130 to 160 g each were orally treated with the compounds to be tested. Ten animals were used for each dose. After 1 hour laparotomy and pylorus ligation were carried out under ether anaesthesia according to Shay [Gastro- 15 enterology f>, 43 (1945)]. After 5 hours the animals were killed by an overdose of ether, their stomach was removed and the volume and acid content of the gastric juice were determined. Sodium hydroxide solution (0.1 N) was used for titration in the presence of Tδpfer's indicator. The 20 results are summarized in Table 2.

SUBSTITUTESHEET compounds of Examples 5, 6, 7, 9, 15 and 21 proved to be significantly more active than the reference drugs. 3. Study on the cytoprotective effect The modified method of Robert [Gastroenterology 77P page 761 (1979) ] was used in these experiments. Twelve animals were used for each dose. The necrotizing agent (containing absolute alcohol and concentrated HC1 in a ratio of 100 ml/2 ml) was orally administered in a final volume of 0.5 ml/100 g of body-weight 30 minutes follow¬
10 ing administration of the compound to be tested. After 1 hour the animals were killed by an overdose of ether and the size of necrosis appearing on the glandular part of their stomach was evaluated. The results are illustrated in Table 3.

SUBSTITUTESHEET It is obvious from the data of Table 3 that the compounds of Examples 5 and 13 inhibited in a dose-de¬ pendent manner the stomach-wall necrosis induced by absolute alcohol containing hydrochloric acid. Thus, these compounds possess a favourable cytoprotective effect.
4. Assay of the ulcer-inhibiting effect a) Stomach ulcer-inhibiting effect on rats operated according to Shay ("Shay rats") These investigations were carried out on female
SPRD rats weighing 150 to 170 g each after starvation for 24 hours. The animals were orally treated with a 20 mg/kg dose of the compounds to be tested in a final volume of 0.5 ml/100 g of body-weight. Then, after 1 hour laparotomy and pylorus ligation were performed under ether anaesthesia according to Shay [Gastroenterology 5 , 43 (1945) ] . After 18 hours the number and size of ulcers developed on the membraneous part of the stomach were evaluated under a stereomicroscope by using 8-fold magnification. The size of ulcers was expressed as a score from 0.5 up to 32. The score values of the treated group were compared to those of the group pretreated with the vehicle and expressed as percentage. The results are summarized in Table 4. Table 4

SUBSTITUTESHEET c) Inhibition of indomethacin-induced stomach ulcer These experiments were carried out on female SPRD rats previously starved for 24 hours. During this period the animals were allowed to drink water ad libitum. The animals were orally treated with a dose of 5 mg/kg and 20 mg/kg, respectively, of the compounds to be tested in a final volume of 0.5 ml/100 g, then after 1 hour they were orally treated with a 20 mg/kg dose of indomethacin in the same volume. After 6 hours the rats were killed by an overdose of ether and the ulcers developed on the glandu¬ lar part of their stomach were examined as described in paragraph a) above. The results are summarized in Table 6.

It can be seen from Tables 4 to 6 that oral doses of 20 mg/kg of the compounds of the invention described in Examples 1, 5 and 15 effectively inhibited the development of stomach ulcer in rats by using various experimental models.
5. Acute toxicity investigations on mice and rats These investigations were carried out on male CFLP mice and female SPRD rats previously starved for 24 hours. The animals were orally treated with various doses of the compounds to be tested. The observation period lasted 14 days. The results are summarized in Table 7.

In the case of oral treatment the compounds of the invention cannot be considered to be toxic on any of the animal species used. The LD50 value proved to be higher than 1000 mg/kg on mice and higher than 800 mg/kg on rats. Diminution of the spontaneous motor activity and muscular rigidity were observed on mice whereas a slight increase in the spontaneous motor activity and salivation, decrease in the muscular tone and eventually a ptosis were r~ istered on rats.
It is obviuos from the above results that, when given even in a low dose, the compounds of the invention effectively inhibit the spontaneous gastric-acid secretion and, in addition, they exert a strong stomach wall-protecting action. Their therapeutic ratio (safety index) is very favourable. Thus, they may be useful for the treatment of ulcers of the digestive system (stomach and duodenal ulcer) .
