Antisecretory 4-diphenylmethyl-1-[(oxoalkyl)imino]methyl-piperidines and their derivatives
BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 
     This invention relates to 4-diphenylmethyl-1-[(oxoalkyl)-imino]methyl-piperidine derivatives and more particularly to those compounds of Formula II below and their pharmaceutically acceptable acid addition salts, which are inhibitors of gastric acid secretion. 
     PRIOR ART 
     The compounds of the present invention are the oxo or related derivatives of certain compounds disclosed in U.S. Pat. No. 4,251,655, such as 4-diphenylmethyl-1-[octylimino]methyl piperidine which has the formula: ##STR1## 
     SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION 
     The present invention is concerned with 4-diphenylmethyl-1-[(oxoalkyl)-imino]methylpiperidines and their derivatives of the following Formula II, and pharmaceutically acceptable acid addition salts thereof: ##STR2## wherein: n is an integer from 1-10, inclusive 
     m is an integer from 0-9, inclusive 
     n+m=1-10 
     Z is selected from the following: ##STR3## The compounds of the present invention all have an oxo or ketone function, or a function related thereto such as an --OH (which may be considered as a reduced ketone), or an oxime═N--OH, or a ketal ##STR4## or thioketal ##STR5## or acetal (OR 1 ) 2 . 
     As used herein, the term &#34;loweralkyl&#34; refers to both straight chain and branched chain alkyls, e.g., methyl, ethyl, propyl, isopropyl, t-butyl, hexyl, and the like. 
     METHODS OF PREPARATION 
     The compounds of the present invention may be prepared by the following reaction scheme: ##STR6## An appropriately activated derivative (IV) of N-formyl-4-(diphenylmethyl)piperidine (III), prepared from III and an activating agent chosen from, for example, phosgene (preferred), Me 3  O +  BF 4   - , Et 3  O +  BF 4   - , (MeO) 2  SO 2 , MeOSO 2  F, POCl 3 , PCl 5  and the like may be treated with an appropriate primary amine of general structure V to give an amidine of general structure VI. Amidine VI is treated with aqueous acid to obtain a keto amidine of general structure VII. Reduction of VII to the alcohol of general structure VIII may be accomplished with sodium borohydride as the reducing agent. Oximes of general structure IX are prepared by treating VI with hydroxylamine hydrochloride. 
     Because the subject compounds (II) possess a basic amidine group, they may be converted into the corresponding acid addition salts. 
     The acid addition salts may be prepared by reaction with an appropriate acid, as for example an inorganic acid such as a hydrohalic acid, i.e., hydrochloric, hydrobromic or hydroiodic acid; sulfuric or nitric acid; phosphoric acid; an organic acid such as acetic, propionic, glycolic, pamoic, pyruvic, oxalic, malonic, succinic, maleic, picric, fumaric, malic, tartaric, citric, benzoic, cinnamic, mandelic, methanesulfonic, ethanesulfonic, benzenesulfonic, p-toluenesulfonic, salicylic, 2-naphthalenesulfonic or p-aminosalicylic acid. The therapeutically active, nontoxic acid addition salts of subject compounds (II) and their hydrates or solvates are included within the scope of the present invention. 
     The starting materials may be prepared by known methods or as illustrated in detail in the Preparations section. 
     METHOD OF TESTING 
     The compounds of the invention are useful for inhibition of gastric acid secretion as measured by the following test. Female Sprague-Dawley rats are fasted twenty-four hours before testing and are given water ad libidum while being kept in individual cages. On the day of testing, the rats are weighed and are selected so that the rats in each test weigh within a range ±20 grams. 
     Surgery is carried out under light ether anesthesia. As soon as the rat is anesthetized its teeth are removed and a mid-line incision is made on the abdomen about 11/2 inches in length and the stomach and duodenum are exposed. If at this point the stomach is filled with food or fecal material, the rat is discarded. If the condition of the stomach is acceptable, a purse string stitch is placed on the fundic portion of the stomach with a suture, taking care not to pierce any blood vessels in the area. A small nick is then made into the stomach in the center of the purse string, and a cannula, consisting of a small vinyl tube with a flange on one end, is put into the stomach, and the purse string stitch is closed tightly around the flange. The test compound is administered either intraduodenally (i.d.) immediately after surgery or orally (p.o.) one hour prior to surgery at doses generally ranging from about 0.25 to about 160 mg/kg in a volume of 0.5 ml/100 grams rat. Control rats receive the test vehicle, 0.5% aqueous methyl cellulose. 
     After the surgery and (in the case of i.d. administration) after administration of the test compound, the abdominal wall and skin are closed simultaneously with three or four 18 mm wound clips and a collecting tube is placed on the cannula. Each rat is then placed in a box in which a longitudinal slit has been made to allow the cannula to hang freely and to allow the rat to move about unencumbered. After the rat has been allowed to stabilize for thirty minutes, the collection tube on the cannula is discarded and replaced with a clean tube to receive the gastric juice. Collections are made at one hour. At the end of the study, the cannula is removed and the rat is sacrificed. 
     The sample of gastric contents collected is drained into a centrifuge tube and centrifuged to pack down the sediment. The volume is read and a 1 ml aliquot of the supernatant is put into a beaker containing 10 ml distilled water and is titrated to pH 7 using 0.01 N sodium hydroxide. Results are determined for Volume, Titratable Acid and Total Acid Output, where Volume equals total ml of gastric juice minus sediment; Titratable Acid (meq/l) equals amount of 0.01 N sodium hydroxide needed to titrate the acid to pH 7; and Total Acid Output equals Titratable Acid times Volume. Results are reported as the ED 50  dose (mg/kg required to produce an average of 50% inhibition in Total Acid Output versus controls in all the animals tested for a particular compound) and as percent inhibition. The compounds of the invention all demonstrate a significant inhibition both i.d. and p.o. at less than 80 mg/kg, with preferred compounds having an ED 50  p.o. less than 20 mg/kg. 
     It is well-known that excessive secretion of gastric hydrochloric acid leads to unneeded peptic activity and endangers the mucous lining of the stomach. The use of gastric antisecretory agents is thus desirable as an aid in the prevention and amelioration of distress occasioned by high concentrations of stomach acid. 
     The results obtained for representative compounds of the invention by the above test for inhibition of gastric secretion are shown in Table I:

     DESCRIPTION OF THE METHOD OF TREATMENT AND PHARMACEUTICAL COMPOSITIONS 
     In view of the antisecretory activity of the subject compounds, there is further provided herein a method of inhibiting gastric acid secretion which comprises internally administering to a gastric hyperacidic subject (man or animal) an effective gastric acid secretion inhibiting amount of a substituted N-iminomethylpiperidine of Formula (II), in base or acid addition salt form, preferably in admixture with a pharmaceutically acceptable carrier. If an acid addition salt form is used, said salt must of course be pharmaceutically-acceptable and non-toxic. Pharmaceutical compositions comprising a subject compound (II) are also considered a further aspect of the present invention. 
     To prepare the pharmaceutical compositions of the present invention, a substituted N-iminomethylpiperidine of Formula (II) or an acid addition salt thereof is combined as the active ingredient in intimate admixture with a pharmaceutical carrier according to conventional pharmaceutical compounding techniques, which carrier may take a wide variety of forms depending on the form of preparation desired for administration, e.g., oral or parenteral. In preparing the compositions in oral dosage form, any of the usual pharmaceutical media may be employed, such as for example, water, glycols, oils, alcohols, flavoring agents, preservatives, coloring agents, and the like in the case of oral liquid preparations such as for example, suspensions, elixirs, and solutions; or carriers such as starches, sugars, diluents, granulating agents, lubricants, binders, disintegrating agents, and the like in a case of oral solid preparations, such as for example, powders, capsules, and tablets. Because of their ease in administration, tablets and capsules represent the most advantageous oral dosage unit form, in which case solid pharmaceutical carriers are obviously employed. If desired, tablets may be sugar coated or enteric coated by standard techniques. For parenterals, the carrier will usually comprise sterile water, although other ingredients, for example, to aid solubility or for preservative purposes, may be included. Injectable suspensions may also be prepared, in which case appropriate liquid carriers, suspending agents, and the like may be employed. The pharmaceutical compositions herein will contain, per dosage unit, e.g., tablet, capsule, powder, injection, teaspoonful, and the like, from about ten to about 500 milligrams of the active ingredient, and preferably from about fifteen to about 250 milligrams. 
     The following preparations, showing how to prepare various starting materials and examples are intended to illustrate but not to limit the scope of the present invention. 
     PREPARATION OF STARTING MATERIALS 
     Preparation 1 ##STR10## 
     N-[7-Oxo(6-carboethoxy)octyl]phthalimide 
     A solution of sodium ethoxide in ethanol, prepared by dissolving 23.69 g (1.03 moles) of sodium in 800 ml of absolute alcohol, was treated slowly with ethyl acetoacetate. To this solution was added, in one portion, 308 g (1.04 moles) of N-(5-bromopentyl)phthalimide and the resulting mixture was refluxed for two hours and stirred overnight at 25°. The ethanol was stripped, 1500 ml of water was added to the residue, and the resulting mixture was extracted with 3×400 ml of ether. The ether layers were combined, dried over anhydrous sodium sulfate, filtered and stripped to give 350 g of light brown oil. This material was used in the next step without purification. 
     Preparation 2 ##STR11##

     A mixture of 350 g of crude N-[7-oxo(6-carboethoxy)octyl]phthalimide and 1000 ml of acetic acid, concentrated hydrochloric acid, and water was refluxed for three hours. The reaction mixture was stripped, the residue dissolved in methylene chloride and basified with 2 N NaOH solution. The organic layer was separated, dried over anhydrous sodium sulfate, filtered and stripped to an orange oil, 73% pure by gc (SE-30, 90-280°@16°/min). This material was used without further purification in Preparation 3. 
     Preparation 3 ##STR12## 
     N-[6-(2-Methyl-1,3-dioxolan-2-yl)hexyl]phthalimide 
     A mixture of 142.0 g (0.52 mole) of N-(7-oxooctyl)phthalimide, 60 ml of ethylene glycol, 5.80 g of p-toluenesulfonic acid and 290 ml of benzene was refluxed overnight using a Dean-Stark trap to collect the azeotrope. The reaction was cooled, treated with 2 N NaOH solution, the organic layer separated, dried over anhydrous potassium carbonate, filtered and stripped to give 125.25 g of orange oil, 76% pure by gc (SE-30, 90°-280°@16°/min). 
     Preparation 4 ##STR13## 
     N-[6-(2-Methyl-1,3-dioxolan-2-yl)hexyl]amine
