Description
DESCRIPTION
[0001] This invention relates to fluorophenyl-substituted
alkenylcarboxylic acid guanidides, process for their preparation,
their use as a medicament or diagnostic, and medicament containing
them
[0002] The invention further relates to alkenylcarboxylic acid
guanidides carrying fluorophenyl groups, of the formula I: 2
[0003] in which:
[0004] R(6) is hydrogen, (C.sub.1-C.sub.8)-alkyl,
(C.sub.3-C.sub.8)-cycloa- lkyl or phenyl, the phenyl group being
unsubstituted or substituted by 1 - 3 substituents selected from
the group consisting of F, Cl, CF.sub.3, methyl, methoxy and
NR(9)-R(10);
[0005] R(9) and R(10) are hydrogen, (C.sub.1-C.sub.4)-alkyl or
(C.sub.1-C.sub.4)-perfluoroalkyl;
[0006] R(7) is independently defined in the same way as R(6);
and
[0007] R(1), R(2), R(3), R(4) and R(5) independently of one another
are hydrogen or F, it being necessary, however, for at least one of
the radicals R(1), R(2), R(3), R(4) and R(5) to be fluorine;
[0008] and their pharmaceutically tolerated salts.
[0009] Preferred compounds of the formula I are those in which:
[0010] R(6) is hydrogen, (C.sub.1-C.sub.4) -alkyl or
(C.sub.3-C.sub.6) -cycloalkyl;
[0011] R(7) is independently defined in the same way as R(6);
and
[0012] R(1), R(2), R(3), R(4) and R(5) independently of one another
are hydrogen or F, it being necessary, however, for at least one of
the radicals R(1), R(2), R(3), R(4) and R(5) to be fluorine;
[0013] and their pharmaceutically tolerated salts.
[0014] Particularly preferred compounds of the formula I are those
in which:
[0015] R(6) is hydrogen or CH.sub.3;
[0016] R(7) is hydrogen; and
[0017] R(1), R(2), R(3), R(4) and R(5) independently of one another
are hydrogen or F, it being necessary, however, for at least one of
the radicals R(1), R(2), R(3), R(4) and R(5) to be fluorine;
[0018] and their pharmaceutically tolerated salts.
[0019] If the compounds of the formula I contain one or more
centers of asymmetry, these can have either the S or the R
configuration. The compounds can exist as optical isomers, as
diastereoisomers, as racemates or as mixtures thereof.
[0020] The double bond geometry of the compounds of the formula I
can be either E or Z. The compounds can exist as a mixture of the
double bond isomers.
[0021] The indicated alkyl radicals can be either linear or
branched.
[0022] The invention further relates to a process for the
preparation of the compound I, which comprises reacting a compound
of the formula II: 3
[0023] with guanidine, R(1) to R(7) being defined as indicated and
L being a leaving group readily susceptible to nucleophilic
substitution.
[0024] The activated acid derivatives of the formula II, in which L
is an alkoxy group, preferably a methoxy group, a phenoxy group, a
phenylthio, methylthio or 2-pyridylthio group or a nitrogen
heterocycle, preferably 1-imidazolyl, are advantageously obtained
in a manner known per se from the corresponding carboxylic acid
chlorides (formula II, L.dbd.Cl), which can in turn be prepared in
a manner known per se from the corresponding carboxylic acids
(formula II, L.dbd.OH), for example with thionyl chloride.
[0025] Apart from the carboxylic acid chlorides of the formula II
(L.dbd.Cl), other activated acid derivatives of the formula II can
also be prepared, in a manner known per se, directly from the
corresponding benzoic acid derivatives (formula II, L.dbd.OH),
examples being the methyl esters of the formula II, where
L.dbd.OCH.sub.3, by treatment with gaseous HCl in methanol, the
imidazolides of the formula II by treatment with
carbonyldiimidazole [L.dbd.1-imidazolyl, Staab, Angew. Chem. Int.
Ed. Engl. 1, 351 - 367 (1962)], the mixed anhydrides II with
Cl-COOC.sub.2H.sub.5 or tosyl chloride in the presence of
triethylamine in an inert solvent, and the benzoic acids activated
with dicyclohexylcarbodiimide (DCC) or with
O-[(cyano(ethoxycarbonyl)methylene-
)amino]-1,1,3,3-tetramethyluronium tetrafluoroborate ("TOTU")
[Proceedings of the 21. European Peptide Symposium, Peptides 1990,
Editors E. Giralt and D. Andreu, Escom, Leiden, 1991]. A number of
suitable methods for the preparation of activated carboxylic acid
derivatives of the formula II are given in J. March, Advanced
Organic Chemistry, Third Edition (John Wiley & Sons, 1985), p.
350, in which source literature is cited.
[0026] The reaction of an activated carboxylic acid derivative of
the formula II with guanidine is carried out in a manner known per
se in a protic or aprotic, polar but inert organic solvent.
Solvents which have proved satisfactory in the reaction of the
benzoic acid methyl esters (II, L.dbd.OMF) with guanidine are
methanol, isopropanol or THF at 20.degree. C. up to their boiling
point. The majority of reactions of compounds II with salt-free
guanidine have advantageously been carried out in aprotic inert
solvents such as THF, dimethoxyethane or dioxane, although water
can also be used as a solvent in the reaction of II with guanidine,
in combination with a base such as e.g. NaOH.
[0027] If L.dbd.Cl, the reaction is advantageously carried out with
the addition of an acid acceptor, e.g. in the form of excess
guanidine, in order to bind the hydrohalic acid.
[0028] Some of the corresponding benzoic acid derivatives of the
formula II are known and are described in the literature. The
unknown compounds of the formula II can be prepared by methods
known in the literature. The alkenylcarboxylic acids obtained are
converted to compounds I according to the invention by one of the
process variants described above.
[0029] The introduction of some substituents is effected by methods
known in the literature, involving the palladium mediated
cross-coupling of aryl halides or aryl triflates with e.g.
organostannanes, organoboric acids, organoboranes or organocopper
or organozinc compounds. Carboxylic acid guanidides I are generally
weak bases and can bind acid to form salts. Suitable acid addition
salts are salts of any pharmacologically tolerated acids, for
example halides, especially hydrochlorides, lactates, sulfates,
citrates, tartrates, acetates, phosphates, methylsulfonates and
p-toluenesulfonates.
[0030] The compounds I are substituted acylguanidines. The most
prominent representative of the acylguanidines is the pyrazine
derivative amiloride, which is used in therapy as a
potassium-sparing diuretic. Numerous other compounds of the
amiloride type are described in the literature, examples being
dimethylamiloride or ethylisopropylamiloride. 4
[0031] amiloride: R', R".dbd.H
[0032] dimethylamiloride: R',R".dbd.CH.sub.3
[0033] ethylisopropylamiloride: R'.dbd.C.sub.2H.sub.5,
R".dbd.CH(CH.sub.3).sub.2
[0034] Furthermore, studies have been disclosed which indicate that
amiloride has antiarrhythmic properties (Circulation 79, 1257 - 63
(1989)). However, an obstacle to broad application as an
antiarrhythmic is the fact that this effect is not strongly
pronounced and is accompanied by a hypotensive and saluretic
action, these side effects being undesirable in the treatment of
cardiac dysrhythmia.
[0035] Indications of the antiarrhythmic properties of amiloride
have also been obtained from experiments on isolated animal hearts
(Eur. Heart J. 9 (suppl. 1): 167 (1988) (book of abstracts)). Thus,
for example, it has been found on the rat heart that an
artificially produced ventricular fibrillation can be completely
suppressed by amiloride. The abovementioned amiloride derivative
ethylisopropylamiloride was even more potent than amiloride in this
model.
[0036] WO 84/00875 has disclosed cinnamic acid guanidides (R.sub.a
and R.sub.c or R.sub.d and R.sub.d=double bond; R(1)=substituted
phenyl); in all cases, however, these are additionally substituted
on the guanidine by alkyl groups, which is why they should not
exhibit NHE inhibition. Moreover, halogen is only mentioned in
general terms as a substituent on the phenyl ring and, although it
is defined as "all four halogens", no individual example with
fluorine substitution is given.
[0037] U.S. Pat. No. 2,734,904 (granted 1956) has disclosed
cinnamic acid guanidides (R=substituted phenyl, alkyl=alkenylene),
but only chlorine, bromine and iodine, and not fluorine, are
described as halogen substituents on the phenyl ring; fluorine is
excluded in the claim (halogens with an atomic number of >9 and
<53).
[0038] German Offenlegungsschrift 44 21 536.3 proposes cinnamic
acid guanidides (x=0, y=0), but one of the substituents R(1), R(2),
R(4), R(5), R(C) or R(D) must be a perfluoroalkyl group.
[0039] It was therefore surprising that the compounds according to
the invention have very good antiarrhythmic properties but no
undesirable or disadvantageous salidiuretic properties. As a result
of their pharmacological properties as antiarrhythmic drugs with a
cardioprotective component, the compounds are outstandingly
suitable for the prophylaxis and treatment of infarction and for
the treatment of angina pectoris, said compounds also preventively
inhibiting or greatly reducing the pathophysiological processes
associated with the occurrence of ischemically induced damage,
especially with the production of ischemically induced cardiac
arrhythmia. By virtue of their protective actions against
pathological hypoxic and ischemic situations, the compounds of the
formula I according to the invention, by inhibiting the cellular
Na.sup.+/H.sup.+ exchange mechanism, can be used as drugs for the
treatment of any acute or chronic damage produced by ischemia or
diseases primarily or secondarily induced by said damage. This
relates to their use as drugs for operative procedures, e.g. in
organ transplants, it being possible for the compounds to be used
for protecting the organs in the donor before and during removal
and for protecting removed organs, for example when treated with or
stored in physiological baths, as well as during transfer into the
recipient organism. The compounds are also valuable drugs, with a
protective action, when carrying out angioplastic operative
procedures, for example on the heart and on peripheral vessels. In
accordance with their protective action against ischemically
induced damage, the compounds are also suitable as drugs for the
treatment of ischemia of the nervous system, especially the CNS,
and are suitable e.g. for the treatment of stroke or cerebral
edema. Furthermore, the compounds of the formula I according to the
invention are also suitable for the treatment of forms of shock,
for example allergic, cardiogenic, hypovolemic and bacterial
shock.
[0040] Another feature of the compounds of the formula I according
to the invention is their potent inhibitory action on cell
proliferation, for example the proliferation of fibroblasts and the
non-striated vascular myocytes. The compounds of the formula I are
therefore suitable as valuable therapeutic agents for diseases
where cell proliferation is a primary or secondary cause, and
consequently can be used as antiatherosclerotics and agents for
combating late diabetic complications, carcinosis, fibrotic
diseases like pulmonary fibrosis, hepatic fibrosis or renal
fibrosis, and organic hypertrophy and hyperplasia, especially
hyperplasia and hypertrophy of the prostate.
[0041] The compounds according to the invention are effective
inhibitors of the cellular sodium/proton exchanger
(Na.sup.+/H.sup.+ exchanger), which, in numerous diseases
(essential hypertonia, atherosclerosis, diabetes etc.) , is also
high in cells which are readily accessible for measurement, for
example in erythrocytes, thrombocytes or leukocytes. The compounds
according to the invention are therefore suitable as outstanding
and simple scientific tools, for example in their use as
diagnostics for determining and distinguishing between specific
forms of hypertonia, as well as atherosclerosis, diabetes,
proliferative diseases etc. The compounds of the formula I are
further suitable for preventive therapy to prevent the genesis of
high blood pressure, for example essential hypertonia.
[0042] Drugs containing a compound I can be administered orally,
parenterally, intravenously, rectally or by inhalation, the
preferred administration depending on the particular
characteristics of the disease. The compounds of the formula I can
be administered on their own or together with galenic adjuncts, in
both veterinary and human medicine.
[0043] Those skilled in the art will know, on the basis of their
expert knowledge, which adjuncts are suitable for the desired drug
formulation. In addition to solvents, gelling agents, suppository
bases, tableting adjuncts and other excipients for active
substances, it is possible to use e.g. antioxidants, dispersants,
emulsifiers, anti-foams, taste correctors, preservatives,
solubilizers or colorants.
[0044] For an oral form of administration, the active compounds are
mixed with the appropriate additives, such as excipients,
stabilizers or inert diluents, and converted by the customary
methods to the appropriate forms of administration, such as
tablets, coated tablets, hard gelatin capsules or aqueous,
alcoholic or oily solutions. Examples of inert excipients which can
be used are gum arabic; magnesia, magnesium carbonate, potassium
phosphate, lactose, glucose or starch, especially corn-starch. The
product can be formulated as either dry or wet granules. Examples
of suitable oily excipients or solvents are vegetable or animal
oils such as sunflower oil or cod-liver oil.
[0045] For subcutaneous or intravenous administration, the active
compounds are brought into solution, suspension or emulsion, if
desired together with the substances conventionally used for this
purpose, such as solubilizers, emulsifiers or other adjuncts.
Examples of suitable solvents are water, physiological saline or
alcohols, e.g. ethanol, propanol or glycerol, as well as sugar
solutions such as glucose or mannitol solutions, or else a mixture
of the various solvents mentioned.
[0046] Examples of suitable pharmaceutical formulations or
compositions for administration in the form of aerosols or sprays
are solutions, suspensions or emulsions of the active substance of
the formula I in a pharmaceutically acceptable solvent, such as
ethanol or water in particular, or in a mixture of such
solvents.
[0047] If required, the formulation can also contain other
pharmaceutical adjuncts such as surfactants, emulsifiers and
stabilizers, as well as a propellant gas. Such a formulation
conventionally contains the active substance in a concentration of
about 0.1 to 10% by weight, especially about 0.3 to 3% by
weight.
[0048] The dosage of the active substance of the formula 1 to be
administered, and the frequency of administration, depend on the
potency and duration of action of the compounds used, on the type
and severity of the disease to be treated and on the sex, age,
weight and individual responsiveness of the mammal to be treated.
On average the daily dose of a compound of the formula I for a
patient weighing about 75 kg is at least 0.001 mg/kg, preferably
0.01 mg/kg, up to at most 10 mg/kg, preferably 1 mg/kg of body
weight. In cases of acute onset of the disease, for instance
immediately after suffering a cardiac infarction, even higher and
particularly more frequent dosages may be necessary, e.g. up to 4
individual doses per day. Particularly in the case of i.v.
administration, for instance to an infarction patient in intensive
care, up to 200 mg per day may be necessary.

alkenyl-carboxylic acid guanidides (I)
[0065] Variant 1 A: from alkenylcarboxylic acids (II, L=OH) 1.0 eq.
of the carboxylic acid derivative of the formula II is dissolved or
suspended in anhydrous THF (5 ml/mmol) and then treated with 1.1
eq. of carbonyldiimidazole. After stirring for 2 hours at RT, 5.0
eq. of guanidine are introduced into the reaction solution. After
stirring overnight, the THF is distilled off under reduced pressure
(on a rotary evaporator), water is added, the pH is adjusted to 6
to 7 with 2 N HCl and the corresponding guanidide (formula I) is
filtered off. The resulting carboxylic acid guanidides can be
converted to the corresponding salts by treatment with aqueous,
methanolic or ethereal hydrochloric acid or other pharmacologically
tolerated acids.
[0066] Variant 1 B: from alkenylcarboxylic acid alkyl esters (II,
L=O-alkyl)
[0067] 1.0 eq. of the carboxylic acid alkyl ester of the formula II
and 5.0 eq. of guanidine (free base) are dissolved in isopropanol
or suspended in THF and refluxed (typical reaction time 2 to 5 h)
until the conversion is complete (monitoring by thin layer
chromatography). The solvent is distilled off under reduced
pressure (Rotavapor) and the residue is taken up with EE and washed
3.times. with NaHCO.sub.3 solution. It is dried over
Na.sub.2SO.sub.4, the solvent is distilled off under vacuum and the
residue is chromatographed on silica gel with a suitable eluent,
e.g. EE/MeOH 5:1.

After the aldehyde had completely reacted, the mixture was worked
up with water and extracted three times by shaking with toluene.
After the combined organic phases had been dried over magnesium
sulfate, the solvent was removed under vacuum and the residual
crude product was separated by chromatography on silica gel using
EE/HEP mixtures as the eluent. Ethyl

[0099] Inhibitors of the Na.sup.+/H.sup.+ exchanger of rabbit
erythrocytes:
[0100] New Zealand white rabbits (Ivanovas) received a standard
diet with 2% of cholesterol for six weeks in order to activate the
Na.sup.+/H.sup.+ exchange and thus be able to determine by flame
photometry the Na+ influx into the erythrocytes via
Na.sup.+/H.sup.+ exchange. The blood was taken from the auricular
arteries and rendered incoagulable with 25 IU/ml of heparin
potassium. Part of each sample was used for double determination of
the hematocrit by centrifugation. 100 .mu.l aliquots were used for
measurement of the initial Na.sup.+ content of the
erythrocytes.
[0101] To determine the amiloride-sensitive sodium influx, 100
.mu.l of each blood sample were incubated at pH 7.4 and 37.degree.
C. in 5 ml of a hyperosmolar salt/sucrose medium (mmol/l: NaCl 140,
KCl 3, sucrose 150, ouabain 0.1, trishydroxymethylaminomethane 20).
The erythrocytes were then washed three times with ice-cold
MgCl.sub.2/ouabain solution (mmol/l: MgCl.sub.2 112, ouabain 0.1)
and hemolyzed in 2.0 ml of distilled water. The intracellular
sodium content was determined by flame photometry.
[0102] The net Na.sup.+ influx was calculated from the difference
between the initial sodium values and the sodium content of the
erythrocytes after incubation. The sodium influx capable of
inhibition by amiloride was calculated from the difference in the
sodium content of the erythrocytes after incubation with and
without 3.times.10.sup.-4 mol/l of amiloride. The same procedure
was also adopted for the compounds according to the invention.

exchanger:
