Agents for combating circulatory illnesses and their use
This application is a continuation of application Ser. No. 322,610, filed Nov. 18, 1981, now abandoned. 
    
    
     The present invention relates to the use as agents for combating circulatory illness of certain tricyclic cytosine derivatives, some of which are known. The invention further relates to certain new compounds from this class of substance and to processes for their production. 
     Some of the tricyclic cytosine derivatives have already been disclosed (see R. J. Grout et al, J. Chem. Soc. 1960, 3551; S. Leistner et al, Z. Chem. 12, 289 (1972); G. E. Hardtmann et al, J. Org. Chem. 39, 3599 (1974); G. Wagner and others, Pharmazie 34, 209 (1979), and G. E. Hardtmann and others, J. Med. Chem. 18, 447 (1975)); no therapeutic activity has hitherto been disclosed for any of these compounds. 
     Biological actions are already known for similar nitrogen-containing tricyclic compounds which clearly differ chemically from the compounds according to the invention. U.S. Pat. No. 3,329,679, for example, an action on the central nervous system is described for such similar compounds. 
     According to the present invention there are provided pharmaceutical compositions containing as an active ingredient a compound which is a tricyclic cytosine derivative of the formula (I) ##STR1## in which 
     X represents a bridge member having 2 or 3 carbon atoms, which is optionally substituted by 1 or 2 alkyl, aryl or aralkyl radicals, 
     A, B, C and D each represent CH, 1 or 2 of these CH groups optionally being replaced by N in any position, 
     R 1  represents a hydrogen atom or an optionally substituted straight-chain, branched or cyclic, saturated or unsaturated aliphatic hydrocarbon radical or an aryl radical, and 
     R 2 , R 3  and R 4  are identical or different, and each represent a hydrogen atom, an alkyl, aryl, aralkyl, alkenyl, alkoxy, aryloxy, alkylthio, arylthio, alkylsulphonyl, arylsulphonyl, alkylcarbonyl or arylcarbonyl radical, a halogen atom or a nitro, cyano, mercapto, hydroxyl, acyloxy, amino, alkylamino, acylamino, sulphonylamino, carboxyl, carboalkoxy, carboxamido, sulphonyl, aminosulphonyl or aldehyde radical, the alkyl, aryl, aralkyl, alkoxy, and aryloxy radicals mentioned being optionally substituted, in admixture with an inert pharmaceutical carrier, e.g. a solid or liquid gaseous diluent, or in admixture with a liquid diluent other than a solvent, of a molecular weight less than 200 except in the presence of a surface active agent. 
     The compounds used in the invention include pharmaceutically acceptable acid addition salts and bio-precursors thereof. A resulting basic compound can be converted into a corresponding acid addition salt, for example by reacting it with an inorganic or organic acid, such as therapeutically useful acid, or with a corresponding anion exchange preparation, and isolating the desired salt. An acid addition salt may be converted into the free compound by treatment with a base, e.g. a metal hydroxide, ammonia or a hydroxyl ion exchange preparation. Therapeutically useful acids are, for example, inorganic acids, e.g. hydrochloric, hydrobromic, sulfuric, phosphoric, nitric or perchloric acid, or organic acids, e.g. carboxylic or sulfonic acids, such as formic, acetic, propionic, succinic, glycollic, lactic, malic, tartaric, citric, ascorbic, maleic, hydroxymaleic, pyroracemic, phenylacetic, benzoic, 4-aminobenzoic, anthranilic, 4-hydroxybenzoic, salicyclic, aminosalicyclic, embonic, nicotinic, methanesulfonic, ethanesulfonic, hydroxy-ethanesulfonic, ethylenesulfonic, benzenesulfonic, halogenobenzensulfonic, toluensulfonic, naphthalenesulfonic and sulfanilic acid; methionine, tryptophan, lysine and arginine. 
     Salts of the above-mentioned acids or other salts, for example, the picrates, can also be used for purification of the bases obtained; the bases are converted into salts, the salts are separated and the bases are liberated from the salts. In view of the close relationship between the free compounds and the compounds in the form of their salts, whenever a compound is referred to in this context, a corresponding salt is also intended, provided such is possible or appropriate under the circumstances. 
     The compositions of the present invention have particular use in combating circulatory illnesses. 
     For the purposes of this specification the term `pharmaceutically acceptable bioprecursor` of an active compound of the invention means a compound having a structural formula different from the active compounds but which nonetheless, upon administration to a warm-blooded animal is converted in the patient&#39;s body to the active compound. 
     According to the present invention there is further provided a process for the preparation of an active compound of the present invention, characterised in that an anthranilic acid of the formula (II) ##STR2## in which 
     R 1 , R 2 , R 3 , R 4 , A, B, C and D have the meaning given above, 
     is reacted with a chloro-carbonic acid ester of the formula 
     
         ClCOO--R.sup.5                                             (III)

         H.sub.2 N--X--NH.sub.2                                     (IV) 
    
     in which 
     X has the meaning given above, 
     if appropriate in the presence of an inert aprotic solvent, at a temperature between 20° and 150° C., and then, after removal of excess diamine of the formula (IV) and solvent, the residue is subjected to a cyclisation at a temperature between 150° and 250° C. in an inert highboiling solvent, 
     and if the product is a compound of the formula (I) in which R 1  denotes hydrogen and a compound of formula (I) in which R 1  is other than hydrogen is required, the product is treated in a subsequent reaction step with an agent of the formula 
     
         R.sup.1 --Z                                                (V) 
    
     in which 
     R 1  has the meaning given above with the exception of hydrogen, and 
     Z represents a leaving group, such as chlorine, bromine, iodine or sulphonyl, 
     if appropriate under phase transfer conditions, and if a compound is obtained in which one or more of R 2 , R 3  and R 4  are hydrogen atoms and a compound is required in which that radical or those radicals have any of the other meanings for R 2 , R 3  and R 4 , additional substituent(s) are introduced by means of a subsequent electrophilic substitution 
     and, if desired, the product is converted into a pharmaceutically acceptable salt thereof or into a pharmaceutically acceptable bioprecursor thereof.

     Preferred starting compounds for the production of the active compounds of the present invention are compounds of formula (II), (III), (IV) and (V) in which the respective radicals X, A, B, C, D, R 1 , R 2 , R 3  and R 4  have the meanings given above in the description of the preferred active compounds of the present invention. 
     The present invention further provides, as new compounds, compounds of the formula (I) in which, X, R 1 , R 2 , R 3 , R 4 , A, B, C and D have the meanings given above except that 
     (a) R 1  represents an optionally substituted straightchain, branched, cyclic, saturated or unsaturated aliphatic hydrocarbon radical, an aryl radical or aralkyl radical as defined above, and, when X denotes an ethylene group, A, B, C and D each represent a CH group and R 1  denotes hydrogen, methyl or p-fluorobenzyl and 
     (b) R 2  has any of those meanings given for R 2  in formula (I) other than a hydrogen atom, and when X denotes an ethylene group, A, B, C and D each represent a CH group and R 1  denotes hydrogen, methyl or p-fluorobenzyl. 
     Of particular interest are new compounds according to the present invention of the formula ##STR3## in which 
     R 1  has the same meaning as in formula (I), and 
     R 4  represents an acylamino radical, the acyl radical thereof being derived from an aliphatic carboxylic acid (particularly an alkane or alkene carboxylic acid) having 1 to 12 carbon atoms, an aromatic carboxylic acid (particularly a phenylcarboxylic acid which is optionally substituted in the phenyl radical by OH, halogen, particularly F, Cl or Br, C 1  to C 4  --alkyl, C 1  to C 4  alkoxy, nitro or amino), or a heterocyclic carboxylic acid which is derived from a 5-membered or 6-membered heterocyclic structure which contains 1 to 3 hetero-atoms (N, O or S) and is optionally substituted in the heterocyclic ring by C 1  to C 4  alkyl, chlorine, bromine or amino), a (C 1  to C 6  alkoxy)carbonylamino, or a urea or thiourea radical, wherein the second nitrogen atom is optionally substituted by C 1  to C 12  alkyl, or phenyl, or by phenyl which is substituted by halogen, C 1  to C 4  alkyl, C 1  to C 4  -alkoxy, CF 3  or NO 2 , or a sulphonylamino radical, the sulphonyl radical thereof being derived from an aliphatic, (particularly, alkane) sulphonic acid having 1 to 6 carbon atoms or an aromatic sulphonic acid (particularly a phenylsulphonic acid, the phenyl radical of which is optionally substituted by NO 2 , amino, acetamido, C 1  to C 4  alkyl, C 1  to C 4  alkoxy, halogen or CF 3 ). 
     In the preparation of the active compounds and new compounds according to the present invention, instead of the anthranilic acids of the formula (II) and the carbonic acid esters of the formula (III) defined above, the isatoic anhydrides of the formula ##STR4## in which 
     R 1 , R 2 , R 3 , R 4 , A, B, C and D have the meanings given above, 
     can, if desired, be employed directly in the reaction according to the present invention. 
     If, for example, the reaction is carried out using anthranilic acid, phenylchlorocarbonate and ethylenediamine as the starting materials, the process can be illustrated by the following equation: ##STR5## 
     A further variant of the process for the preparation of those compounds in which R 1  does not denote hydrogen consists in subsequently treating compounds of the general formula (I) in which R 1  represents a hydrogen atom with an agent which replaces the hydrogen atom by a hydrocarbyl or acyl radical. 
     If, for example, 5-oxo-2,3,5,6-tetrahydroimidazo-[1,2-c]-quinazoline and allyl bromide are used as starting materials, the process can be illustrated by the following equation: ##STR6## 
     A further variant of this process (replacement of a hydrogen atom by another radical, in this instance an benzylic radical, under phase transfer conditions) is illustrated by the following equation: ##STR7## 
     Furthermore, it has been found that compounds in which R 3  and/or R 4  ≠H are obtained by an electrophilic substitution reaction for an aromatic nucleus, using compounds of the formula (I), in which A, B, C and D are CH and R 2 , R 3  and R 4  =H, as starting materials. 
     This process may be illustrated, for example, with reference to the following equation: ##STR8## 
     The compounds which are obtained and which have functional radicals in the aromatic ring can then be transformed in many ways, as the example shows, according to customary methods. 
     The reaction of the anthranilic acid of formula (II) with the chlorocarbonic acid ester of formula (III) is effected in inert aprotic solvents, with the addition of an acid-binding agent. The following may be mentioned as examples of such solvents: chloroform, methylene chloride, tetrahydrofuran, dioxane, diethyl ether, benzene and toluene. 
     A tertiary amine, for example triethylamine, is preferably used as the acid-binding agent. However, alkali metal carbonates or bicarbonates can also be used. 
     The reaction can be carried out at a temperature between -20° and 150° C., particularly at the boiling point of the solvent. The reaction is preferably carried out at a temperature between 10° and 180° C., particularly at room temperature. 
     After the end of the reaction, the solvent is stripped off, or, if the reaction product is not readily soluble in the solvent used, the reaction product is isolated by filtration. 
     The salts are then removed by stirring the mixture with water, and the intermediate product is dried. 
     The further reaction with the diamine (IV) can be effected using an excess of the diamine as a solvent. However, it can also be carried out using an equimolar quantity of the diamine in an inert aprotic solvent. The reaction is carried out between room temperature (20° C.) and 150° C., preferably between 60° and 100° C. 
     Excess amine and/or solvent is then removed in a rotary evaporator, and an inert high-boiling solvent is added to the reaction. Tetralin is preferably used as the solvent in this case. The contents of the flask are heated to temperatures between 150° and 250° C., preferably 180° to 210° C., water, residual diamine and solvent, for example tetralin, being distilled off. 
     For the conversion of the compounds of the formula (I) in which R 1  =H into compounds in which R 1  has another of its meanings with the agents of formula R 1  --Z, the anion is first formed, for example, using NaH in an inert aprotic solvent (such as dimethylformamide, dimethylacetamide, dimethylsulphoxide or hexamethylphosphoric acid triamide) and this anion is then reacted with the alkylating agent. The formation of the anion is effected at a temperature between 0° and 100° C., preferably at a temperature between 40° and 80° C. The reaction of the anion with the alkylating agent is carried out at a temperature between 0° and 100° C., preferably between room temperature and 80° C. 
     The above-mentioned conversion can also be carried out in a two-phase system under the conditions of phase transfer catalysts. One phase is an inert, water-immiscible organic solvent (such as methylene chloride, benzene or toluene), and the other phase is an aqueous phase in which a strong inorganic base is dissolved. 5 to 40% strength aqueous sodium hydroxide or potassium hydroxide solutions are examples of a suitable aqueous phase, and a 10 to 20% strength sodium hydroxide solution is preferably used. The reaction is carried out at a temperature between 20° and 80° C. A quaternary ammonium salt (such as tetra-n-butylammonium bromide or benzyl-tri-n-butylammonium bromide) can be used as the phase transfer catalyst. 
     The anthranilic acids, chlorocarbonic acid esters, diamines and reactive alkylating agents used are known or can be prepared according to processes known from the literature (see Rodd&#39;s Chemistry of Carbon Compounds, Second Edition, Volume III, Part 6, page 49 et seq.; Houben-Weyl, 4th Edition, Volume 7/4, pages 30 and 32; Houben-Weyl, 4th Edition, Volume 8, page 75 et seq; Houben-Weyl, 4th Edition, Volume 11/1; Houben-Weyl, 4th Edition, Volume 5/4; and Houben-Weyl, 4th Edition, Volume 9, pages 388 and 389). 
     The compounds of the formula (I) for use in compositions according to the invention surprisingly show a series of advantageous pharmacological actions, in particular, they affect the circulation. In detail, they cause a strong increase in contractility (positive inotropic action) in isolated myocardial preparations, and lead, in vivo, to a considerable increase in the rate of tension of the left ventricle of the heart, as well as the systolic volume and heart minute volume, without thereby increasing the blood pressure. They are, therefore, particularly suitable for treating congestive heart failure. With a knowledge of the state of the art, it could not be expected that this class of substance would show such an advantageous action on the circulation. 
     As stated above, the invention also relates to the use in medicine of the compounds of the invention. 
     The present invention provides pharmaceutical compositions containing as active ingredient a compound of the invention in admixture with an inert pharmaceutical carrier, i.e., a solid or liquefied gaseous diluent, or a liquid diluent other than a solvent of a molecular weight less than 200 (preferably less than 350) except in the presence of a surface active agent. 
     The invention further provides pharmaceutical compositions containing as active ingredient a compound of the invention in the form of a sterile and/or physiologically isotonic aqueous solution. 
     The invention also provides medicaments in dosage unit form comprising a compound of the invention. 
     The invention also provides medicaments in the form of tablets (including lozenges and granules), dragees, capsules, pills, ampoules or suppositories comprising a compound of the invention. 
     &#34;Medicament&#34; as used in this Specification means physically discrete coherent portions suitable for medical administration. &#34;Medicament in dosage unit form&#34; as used in this Specification means physically discrete coherent units suitable for medical administration each containing a daily dose or a multiple (up to four times) or sub-multiple (down to a fortieth) of a daily dose of the compound of the invention in association with a carrier and/or enclosed within an envelope. Whether the medicament contains a daily dose or, for example, a half, a third or a quarter of a daily dose will depend on whether the medicament is to be administered once or, for example, twice, three times or four times a day respectively. 
     The pharmaceutical composition according to the invention may, for example, take the form of suspensions, solutions and emulsions of the active ingredient in aqueous or non-aqueous diluents or syrups. 
     The diluents to be used in pharmaceutical compositions (e.g. granulates) adapted to be formed into tablets, dragees, capsules and pills include the following: 
     (a) fillers and extenders, e.g. starch, sugars, mannitol, and silicic acid; (b) binding agents, e.g. carboxymethyl cellulose and other cellulose derivatives, alginates, gelatine and polyvinyl pyrrolidone; (c) moisturizing agents, e.g. glycerol; (d) disintegrating agents, e.g. agar-agar, calcium carbonate and sodium bicarbonate; (e) agents for retarding dissolution e.g. paraffin; (f) resorption accelerators, e.g. quaternary ammonium compounds; (g) surface active agents, e.g. cetyl alcohol, glycerol monostearate; (h) adsorptive carriers, e.g. kaolin and bentonite; (i) lubricants, e.g. talc, calcium and magnesium stearate and solid polyethyl glycols. 
     The tablets, dragees, capsules and pills formed from the pharmaceutical compositions of the invention can have the customary coatings, envelopes and protective matrices, which may contain opacifiers. They can be so constituted that they release the active ingredient or preferably in a particular part of the intestinal tract, possibly over a period of time. The coatings, envelopes and protective matrices may be made, for example, of polymeric substances or waxes. 
     The ingredient can also be made up in microencapsulated form together with one or several of the above-mentioned diluents. 
     The diluents to be used in pharmaceutical compositions adapted to be formed into suppositories can, for example, be the usual water-soluble diluents, such as polyethylene glycols and fats (e.g. cocoa oil and high esters (e.g. C 14  -alcohol with C 16  -fatty acid)) or mixtures of these diluents. 
     The pharmaceutical compositions which are solutions and emulsions can, for example, contain the customary diluents (with, of course, the above-mentioned exclusion of solvents having a molecular weight below 200 except in the presence of a surface-active agent), such as solvents, dissolving agents and emulsifiers; specific examples of such diluents are water, ethyl alcohol, isopropyl alcohol, ethyl carbonate, ethyl acetate, benzyl alcohol, benzyl benzoate, propylene glycol, 1,3-butylene glycol, dimethylformamide, oils (for example ground nut oil), glycerol, tetrahydrofurfuryl alcohol, polyethylene glycols and fatty acid esters of sorbitol or mixtures thereof. 
     For parenteral administration, solutions and emulsions should be sterile, and, if appropriate, blood-isotonic. 
     The pharmaceutical compositions which are suspensions can contain the usual diluents, such as liquid diluents, e.g. water, ethyl alcohol, propylene glycol, surface-active agents (e.g. ethoxylated isostearyl alcohols, polyoxyethylene sorbite and sorbitane esters), microcrystalline cellulose, aluminium metahydroxide, bentonite, agar-agar and tragacanth or mixtures thereof. 
     All the pharmaceutical compositions according to the invention can also contain colouring agent and preservatives as well as perfumes and flavouring additions (e.g. peppermint oil and eucalyptus oil) and sweetening agents (e.g. saccharin). 
     The pharmaceutical compositions according to the invention generally contain from 0.1 to 99.5% usually from 0.5 to 95% of the active ingredient by weight of the total composition. 
     In addition to a compound of the invention, the pharmaceutical compositions and medicaments according to the invention can also contain other pharmaceutically active compounds. They may also contain a plurality of compounds of the invention. 
     Any diluent in the medicaments of the present invention may be any of those mentioned above in relation to the pharmaceutical compositions of the present invention. Such medicaments may include solvents of molecular weight less than 200 as sole diluent. 
     The discrete coherent portions constituting the medicament according to the invention will generally be adapted by virtue of their shape or packaging for medical administration and may be, for example, any of the following: tablets (including lozenges and granulates), pills, dragees, capsules, suppositories and ampoules. Some of these forms may be made up for delayed release of the active ingredient. Some, such as capsules, include a protective envelope which renders the portions of the medicament physically discrete and coherent. 
     The preferred daily dose for administration of the medicaments of the invention is 50 mg to 2.5 g of active ingredient. 
     The production of the above-mentioned pharmaceutical compositions and medicaments is carried out by any method known in the art, for example, by mixing the active ingredient(s) with the diluent(s) to form a pharmaceutical composition (e.g. a granulate) and then forming the composition into the medicament (e.g. tablets). 
     This invention further provides a method of combating the above-mentioned diseases in warm-blooded animals, which comprises administering to the animals a compound of the invention alone or in admixture with a diluent or in the form of a medicament according to the invention. 
     It is envisaged that these active compounds will be administered perorally, parenterally (for example intramuscularly, intraperitoneally, subcutaneously and intravenously) or rectally, preferably orally. Preferred pharmaceutical compositions and medicaments are therefore those adapted for administration such as oral administration. Administration in the method of the invention is preferably oral administration. 
     In general it has proved advantageous to administer orally amounts of from 0.1 mg to 100 mg/kg, preferably 1.0 mg to 50 mg/kg, of body weight per day to achieve effective results. Generally the administration is distributed over 1 to 6 administrations, in particular before and/or during and/or after meals. An individual administration preferably contains the active compound or compounds in amounts of 1.0 to 20 mg/kg of body weight. Nevertheless, it can at times be necessary to deviate from those dosage rates, and in particular to do so as a function of the nature and body weight of the subject to be treated, the individual reaction of this subject to the treatment, the type of formulation in which the active ingredient is administered and the mode in which the administration is carried out, and the point in the progress of the disease or interval at which it is to be administered. Thus it may in some case suffice to use less than the abovementioned minimum dosage rate, whilst other cases the upper limit mentioned must be exceeded to achieve the desired results. Where larger amounts are administered it can be advisable to divide these into several individual administrations over the course of the day. 
     The positive inotropic action of the active compounds used according to the present invention was found in guineapig auricles and isolated perfused guineapig hearts. For this purpose, after the animals had been killed by a blow to the neck and after excission of the hearts, the left auricles were suspended in a thermostatically controlled bath at 30° C. containing a Krebs-Henseleit solution treated with carbogen gas, and the isometric development of tension of the auricles, which were electrically stimulated with 1 hertz, was registered via a Statham pressure transducer before and 14 minutes after addition of the substances to be investigated. The investigations on isolated perfused guineapig hearts were carried out by a modification of the method according to Opie (see L. Opie, J. Physiol. 180 (1965), 529-541). The hearts were perfused retrogradely through the aorta and the coronary arteries with 10 ml of Krebs-Henseleit solution, saturated with carbogen, per minute, and after a latex balloon, which was filled with liquid and which was connected to a Statham pressure transducer, was introduced into the left ventricle, the isovolumetric development of tension was measured. It was found that the compounds of the general formula (I) according to the invention have a positive inotropic action in the range of 10 -7  to 10 -4  g/ml on the isolated organs described above, in the presence and in the absence of the beta receptor blocker propranolol. 
     In a cat anaesthetised with pentobarbital, these compounds increase the rate of tension of the left ventricle of the heart, particularly after intraduodenal administration in the range of 0.1 to 10 mg/kg. During this treatment, the systemic blood pressure is not increased, but is even slightly lowered. In addition, the active compounds for use according to the present invention also lead to an inhibition of thrombocyte aggregation, which can be advantageous in the case of cardiac insufficiency due to ischemic heart areas. 
     These advantageous actions thus represent an enrichment of pharmacy. 
    
    
     The following Examples illustrate the production of active compounds for use in pharmaceutical compositions of the present invention. 
     EXAMPLE 1 
     5-Oxo-2,3,5,6-tetrahydroimidazo-[1,2,-c]-quinazoline ##STR9## 
     46 g (0.33 mol) of anthranilic acid and 45 ml of triethylamine were dissolved in 300 ml of CHCl 3 , and a solution of 57 g (0.33 mol+10%) of phenylchloroformate in 100 ml of CHCl 3  was added dropwise at a temperature between 0° and 5° C. to the first solution. The reaction mixture was stirred overnight at room temperature. The solvent was then stripped off in a rotary evaporator, without separating off the precipitated product. The residue was thoroughly stirred with water and was then filtered off under suction. After the crude product (76 g) had been dried, it was used for further reaction. 76 g of the crude product were added in portions to 150 ml of ethylenediamine and the mixture was then further stirred at 80° C. for another 20 minutes. The excess ethylenediamine was stripped off in a rotary evaporator, and 150 ml of tetralin were added to the residue. The mixture was heated in an oil bath (temperature: 200° to 240° C.) and water which was formed, excess ethylenediamine and tetralin were distilled off, until the internal temperature had increased to approximately 190° C. (30 to 60 minutes). 100 ml of ethanol were added dropwise to the solution, which was still warm, and the mixture was allowed to crystallise out. The deposit was filtered off under suction, and then washed with alcohol and ether, and thoroughly stirred with 150 ml of dimethylformamide for 1 hour. The mixture was again filtered under suction, and the residue was then washed with alcohol and dried. 
     Yield: 25 g=40% (relative to anthranilic acid employed); 
     Melting point: 295° C.
