Abstract

The invention provides novel anti- atherosclerotic compounds of the type where A is the residue of a long chain, unsaturated fatty acid or cyclopropano analogues thereof; the -CO-N< moiety forms an amide or hydrazide group or the N atom may be part of a 4-optionally-substituted-styryl- hexahydro-4-indolinol-(1) group. The compounds are made by acylation of amines.

Description

The present invention provides a compound of formula I, A - C - NH - R2 I in which A is (i) the residue of a long-chain, unsaturated fatty acid (minus the carboxylic acid function), which residue has 7 to 23 carbon atoms and possesses from 1 to 4 ethylenically unsaturated groupings, or (ii) a corresponding residue in which each ethylene (-CH=CH-) grouping is replaced CH by a cyclopropanyl group _c^j _2'CH. and R2 is a radical of formula II, III or IV in which g is 0 or 1, R^ is hydrogen, fluorine, chlorine, bromine or C-]_3alkyl or alkoxy, Rg is hydrogen, fluorine, chlorine, or C^galkyl or alkoxy, and Rg is hydrogen, ΟμθβΗγΙ or a radical of formula VI, in which j is 0 or 1, Y is hydrogen, fluorine, chlorine, bromine or 3alkyl or alkoxy, and Y^ is hydrogen, fluorine, chlorine or Chalky! or alkoxy; -σ: III in which Rg is as defined above, and Rg is hydrogen, fluorine, chlorine, bromine C13alkyl or alkoxy, or a group of formula VII, in which 8 Ά, VII is is is -CHg or -0-, or 1, and as defined above; in which R^ is as defined above, Ry is C-j galkyl or benzyl, and 15 Rg is hydrogen, Chalky! or benzyl provided that when Rg is a radical of formula II or III then A is as defined under (ii).
In one group of compounds, in accordance with the invention, A is as defined under (i) (A then being A'), i.e. a residue of a long-chain fatty acid, such residue having 7-23 carbon atoms and having 1 to 4 ethylenically unsaturated positions. These residues are thus derived from long chain fatty acids of formula A'-COOK having 8 to 24 carbon atoms and 1 to 4 ethylenically unsaturated positions. These acids are preferably unbranched and are preferably of the natural fatty acid order, i.e. those containing an even number of carbon atoms. A' is thus preferably unbranched and preferably contains an odd number of carbon atoms.
Particularly preferred residues A1 include those of formula IX (Residues A'^ ) and X (Residues A'2 ):- CMCH2>n- -(CH=CH}0(CH2)p- in which n is 1 to 10, 0 is 1 to 4, and P is 3 to 9, provided that n + 2 x o + p does not exceed 22, CH3-(CH2)r- -(ch=ch-ch2)s-(ch2; )t· in which Γ is 1 to 4, s is 2 to 4, and t is 1 to 7, provided tf- lat r + 3 x s + t does not exceed 22.
Preferred residues of formula IX are those in which n + 2 x o + p is an even number, particularly those where n = 5 or 7, o = 1 and p = 7. Preferred residues of formula X are those where r is 1 or 4, s is 2 to 4, and t is 2 or 6.
It will be appreciated that the compounds in which A is A1 occur in isomeric forms due to the presence of one or more unsaturated positions. While the invention is not intended to be limited to any particular isomeric form, the compounds in which the hydrogen atoms on each pair of ethylenically unsaturated carbon atoms are in cis-configuration are preferred.
Particularly preferred radicals A' include those derived from the following acids:- palmitoleic, oleic, petroselenic, vaccenic, punicic (or eleostearic), parinaric, gadoleic, cetoleic, linoleic, linolenic and arachidonic acids, more particularly, oleic, linoleic, linolenic, arachidonic and palmitoleic acid.
In another group of compounds in accordance with the invention, A is as defined under (ii) (A then being A), i.e. cyclopropanyl derivatives of A' residues in which each ethylene moiety -CH=CHCH is replaced by the cyclopropanyl moiety -ch 1S preferred that A residues are unbranched [apart from the cyclopropanyl radical(s)]. Particular · -si dues A are those of formula XI (A then being Ay1). v-^V XI in which u is 1 to 15, v is 1 or 2, and w is 1 to 13, provided that when v is 1, then u + w is 3 to 19, and that when v is 2, then u + w is 2 to 16.
Particular preferred A^ residues of formula XI are as follows:ZCHX CH — CH-CH, 2'u (i) when V is 1, then u + w = 7 to 19, ; when V is 2, then u + w = 4 to 16; (ii) when V is 1, then u + w = an odd number, when V is 2, then u + w = an even number; (iii) when V is ), then u = 5 or 7 and w = 6, when V is 2, then u = 4 and w = 6.
In view of these preferences, it will be appreicated that the preferred radicals A are derived from mono- or di-unsaturated ^8077 fatty acids of the type found in nature, e.g. palmitoleic or oleic acid (v = 1) and linoleic acid (v = 2).
It will also be appreciated that the compounds in which A is A exist in isomeric forms. While the invertion is not intended to be limited to any particular isomeric form, it is preferred that each pair of hydrogen atoms attached to the tertiary carbon atoms of the cyclopropyl moieties be in cis-configuration.
Since residues A having a single cyclopropyl unit have a lesser number of asymmetric carbon atoms than those with a plurality, the former are generally easier to refine and are therefore preferred where ease of purification is an important factor.
In one group of compounds (hereinafter compounds Ia), A is A' and Rg is a radical of formula IV. When R-, is alkyl it is preferably unbranched and is more preferably ethyl. When R^ is alkyl, it is preferably methyl, when it is alkoxy, it is preferably methoxy, and when it is halogen it is preferably fluorine or chlorine. When R4 is other than hydrogen, it is preferably in the 5-position of the indole nucleus. R4 is preferably hydrogen, however. Rg is also preferably hydrogen.
In further groups of compounds, A is A and Rg is a radical of formula II (compound lb); or Rg is a radical of formula III (compound Ic); or Rg is a radical of formula IV (compounds Id); The preferred situations for these compounds are the same as those given above for the compounds in which A is A’.
Compounds Ia) are preferred.
The invention also provides a process for the production of the compounds of formula I, comprising acylating a compound of formula XII, 2hn - r2 XII in which R2 is as defined above, with an acid of formula XIII, A - COOH XIII in which A is as defined above, or a reactive derivative thereof.
The acylation may be carried out in manner conventional for converting an amine function into its corresponding amide. For example, the process may be effected using the mixed anhydride technique in which the compound of formula XII is treated with a compound of formula XHIa, ° ° A-C-O-C- 0R12 XUIa in which A is as defined above, and R-j 2 i s n-C-j _gal ky 1.
This embodiment may suitably be effected at a temperature of from -10° to +35°C, and in an inert organic medium, e.g. a chlorinated hydrocarbon, such as methylene chloride. Alternatively, the compound of formula XII may be treated with an acyl halide of formula XHIb, A - C - Hal XHIb in which A is as defined above, and ,r Hal is chlorine or bromine. 0 7 7 This embodiment is suitably effected at a temperature of from 10° to 50°C, preferably 20° to 30°C, in an inert medium and in the presence of an acid acceptor.
In the acylation process, the compound of formula XII may be employed in the form of an acid addition salt and the reagents may be used in excess, when they are liquid under the reaction conditions, to serve as a reaction medium.
It will be appreciated that the acylation process of the invention does not affect the isomeric form of the starting materials so that the products will result in the same isomeric form as the starting materials.
The resulting compounds of formula I may be isolated and purified using conventional techniques.
The compounds of formula XII are either known or may be produced in conventional manner from available materials.
Compounds of formula XIIIc, A' - COOH XIIIc in which A' is as defined above, are also known or may be produced in conventional manner from available materials.
The compounds of formula XHId, A - COOH XHId in which A is as defined above, are also conventional and may, for example, be produced by converting the ethylenically unsaturated positions in corresponding compounds of formula XIIIc into cyclopropanyl groups. This may be effected in conventional manner, for example by reaction with methylene diiodide by the method of Simmons-Smith [J.A.C.S. 81, 4255 (1959)]. 8077 4256 (1959)]. For preparing compounds having a single cyclopropanyl group, the starting acids may be in cis or trans form and the product will have the same form. Likewise, mixtures of cis and trans forms will lead to corresponding mixtures of the product.
When a cyclopropane acid (or derivative) is reacted with a compound of formula XII, having asymmetric carbon atoms, it will be appreciated that the resulting compound of formula I will be obtained as a mixture of diastereo-isomers, which may, if desired, be separated in known manner, by e.g. chromatography or crystallisation.
Alternatively, if desired, the starting cyclopropane acid may be resolved into its antipodes and then reacted to give the corresponding isomeric product in relatively pure form. Similarly, for preparing cyclopropane acids having 2 or more cyclopropanyl units, the starting olefinic acids have a corresponding number of double bonds and the Simmons-Smith reaction leads to a mixture of diastereoisomers, which may, if desired, be separated before further reaction.
The compounds of formula XUIa and XHIb can be produced from the free acids in conventional manner, if convenient in situ.
The compounds of formula I of this invention possess pharma20 cological activity. In particular, the compounds of formula I are indicated for use in controlling the cholesterol ester content of mammalian arterial walls and are therefore particularly indicated for use as anti—atherosclerotic agents, i.e. agents useful in the prophylactic treatment of atherosclerosis and in the controlling of atherosclerotic conditions due to cholesterol ester accumulation in the arterial walls. Such ability of the compounds of the formula I is indicated by known test procedures in which the total cholesterol ester content of cultured cells is shown to be reduced by a test compound, as compared to untreated cells, and carried out, for example by the following procedures: 8 0 7 7 A) Cell culture Rhesus monkey smooth muscle cells (from the arterial, e.g. aorta, wall) obtained by the method of K. Fisher-Dzoga et al (Experimental and Molecular Phathology 18, 162-176 (1973) are routinely grown in 2 — cm tissue culture flasks using Minimum Essential Medium (Eagle) supplemented with 10% fetal bovine serum. For testing, a 75 cm flask with a near confluent cell growth is selected. The cells are removed from the flask surface by mild enzymatic treatment with pronase. After centrifugation and decanting the enzyme solution, the cell pellet is resuspended in an appropriate volume of media for seeding the desired number of 60 mm tissue culture dishes. Five (5) ml of the diluted cell suspension are pipetted into each dish. After seeding, the dishes are labelled with the cell type, date and flask number of origin and incubated at 37°C in approximately 5%'C02 atmosphere in a high humidity incubator. When the cultures are confluent, the actual drug testing is begun. Test compounds are routinely solubilised in 100% ethanol. An equivalent amount of ethanol is added to control groups as well. The tissue culture dishes are randomly divided into groups. To one group, hyperlipemic rabbit serum (HRS) is added at 5% by volume (control). To the remaining groups, 5% HRS and 1 mg per 100 ml of media of the test compound are added. The dishes are returned to the incubator for an additional 24 hours. All operations through to the final incubation are performed using sterile technique in a laminar flow hood. After the incubation period, the dishes are microscopically observed with the Zeiss Axiomat with phase contrast optics and the conditions of the cultures are recorded; especially in regard to the size, number and configuration of cytoplasmic inclusions and to cellular morphology. The media is removed from the cultures and 0.9% sodium chloride solution is added. The cells are removed from the flasks with the aid of a rubber policeman and transferred to a conical graduated centrifuge tube. The cells are washed three times by suspending in an isotonic salt solution, centrifuging at 800 x g for 10 minutes and aspirating the supernatant fluid. 8) Cell extraction procedure An appropriate volume of isopropyl alcohol (about 1 ral/mg protein) is then added to the cell pellet and the sample sonicated with a micro probe (140 x 3 mm) for 10 seconds with a LO setting of 50 on a Bronwell Biosonik IV. After centrifugation for 15 minutes at 800 x g, the clear supernatant is decanted and an aliquot taken for cholesterol analysis.
The residue is dissolved in 0.1N sodium hydroxide and an aliquot taken for protein determination by the method of Lowry, et al. (J. Biol. Chem. 193, 265; 1951).
C) Assay Free cholesterol: The isopropyl alcoholic solutions of standards, samples and blank (isopropyl alcohol alone) are treated in a similar manner. An aliquot of 0.4 ml of free reagent (Reagent A, Table 1 below) is added to a 10 x 75 mm disposable glass test tube to which 20 ,ul of the isopropyl alcoholic solution is added and mixed. After standing at room temperature for approximately 5 minutes, 0.8 ml of 0.5N sodium hydroxide (Reagent C, Table 1) is added and mixed. The fluorescence is measured with an Aminco-Bowman spectrophotofluorometer with an excitation wavelength of 325 nm and emission wavelength of 415 nm. A 1 cm light patch cuvette is used with a xenon lamp, an IP28 photomultiplier tube and 2 mm slits.
Total cholesterol: The same procedure described above for free cholesterol is followed for total cholesterol except that the total reagent (Reagent 8, Table 1) is used instead of the free reagent and the samples are incubated for 20 minutes at 37° before 8 0 7 7 the addition of the 0.5N sodium hydroxide solution (Reagent C, Table 1).
Alternatively, the assay for cholesterol, i.e. Step C (above) obtained from Steps A and B, may be carried out by the method of Ishikawa et al (J. Lipid Res. 15, 286; 1974).
The amount of cholesterol ester is found by subtracting the amount of free cholesterol from the total cholesterol content of the cells determined by the assay. A finding of a lower amount of cholesterol ester in the group of cells to which test compound was added, as compared to the control group (untreated) shows that the test compound is active in reducing the cholesterol ester in the cells.
