DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION

Preparation of Compounds

The compounds of the invention may generally be prepared by reacting in an inert solvent the acid chloride of a substituted benzoic acid (II), where R, R.sub.1, R.sub.2, R.sub.4, R.sub.5 and R.sub.6 have the same significance as above, with the appropriate 1-arylalkyl N-heterocyclic ring (III), where R.sub.3, Ar, x, y and z have the same significance as above. The acid chloride of the acid (II) may be prepared by reacting the acid with an acid chloride, e.g., thionylchloride, sulphonylchloride, phosphorylchloride or oxalylchloride, in an inert solvent. ##STR9##

Compounds (I) may also be prepared by reacting the compound of structure (III) with a mixed anhydride of the substituted benzoic acid. The above reaction may be carried out in inert solvents at temperatures between ambient and 100.degree. C. The mixed anhydride may be prepared in situ. At temperatures between -20 and +20.degree. C., to substituted benzoic acid (II) is added a monoalkyl ester of carbonic acid, i.e., ethylchloroformate in the presence of a tertiary base, i.e., triethylamine or pyridine, etc., in an inert solvent to form the mixed anhydride. To this reaction mixture with a temperature between -20 and +20.degree. C. the appropriate compound (III) is added.

The inert solvents which may be used in the above reactions include aromatic hydrocarbons, alkylketones, alkylesters, alkylethers, cyclic ethers, such as tetrahydrofuran and chlorinated hydrocarbons, etc.

The free amino compounds (I) in which R.sub.1 or R.sub.2 = NH.sub.2 are prepared from the corresponding acylamino derivative (I) in which R.sub.1 or R.sub.2 is R.sub.4 --CONH, where R.sub.4 = lower alkyl, trifluoromethyl or .alpha.-halogenoalkyl, by hydrolysis in either acidic or basic solution in solvents such as lower alcohols at temperatures between ambient and 100.degree. C.

Arylaklyl derivatives (I), wherein R.sub.3, z, and Ar are as previously defined, may also be prepared from the corresponding derivative of (I) in which the group ##STR10## is replaced by hydrogen (Compound IV): ##STR11## The compound (IV) is prepared by subjecting the corresponding benzyl compound (I) in which R.sub.3 = H, z = 1 and Ar = phenyl to catalytic hydrogenolysis in a solvent such as a lower alcohol in the presence of a noble metal catalyst, e.g., palladium or platinum, which may be absorbed on an inert support such as carbon or barium sulphate, in the presence of hydrogen at normal or elevated pressure and at temperatures between ambient and 100.degree. C. The compound (IV) may then be alkylated with the appropriate aralkyl chloride in the presence of a base such as sodium or potassium carbonate or sodium or potassium bicarbonate.

Amino acylamino compounds (I), where R.sub.1 or R.sub.2 = R.sub.4 CONH in which R.sub.4 is ##STR12## R.sub.4, R.sub.5 and R.sub.6 having the same meaning as above, are prepared from the corresponding haloacyl derivative (R.sub.4 = halogen-(CH.sub.2).sub.n) by reaction with the appropriate amine in an inert solvent, such as an aromatic or aliphatic hydrocarbon, chlorinated hydrocarbon or aliphatic or cycloaliphatic ether at temperatures between ambient and 100.degree. C.

The compounds of formula (I-A) of the invention may be prepared by reacting a 4-amino-5-halo-2-alkoxy benzoic acid, (in some cases after protecting the amino group with an acyl group such as acetyl, trifluoracetyl, chloracetyl, phthalyl, etc.), or an ester, acid halide, mixed anhydride or other active derivatives thereof, with a 4-amino-1-arylalkyl piperidine in an inert solvent at a temperature of from -20.degree. C. to 150.degree. C. depending on the method of condensation used. When a 4-acylamino-5-halo-2-alkoxy benzoic acid is used, the title compounds are liberated by acid hydrolysis of the acyl protecting group. .

In another embodiment, compounds (I-A) may be prepared by halogenation of N-[4'-(1'-arylalkyl)piperidyl]-4-amino-2-alkoxy benzamides, prepared by one of the above methods, from a derivative of 4-amino-2-alkoxy-benzoic acid and 4-amino-1-arylalkyl-piperidine.

In still another embodiment, compounds (I-A) may be prepared by reacting an arylalkyl halide with N-[4'-piperidyl]-4-amino-5-halo-2-alkoxy benzamides (or their 4-acyl derivatives) in the presence of an inorganic or organic base in an inert solvent.

For example, 4-amino-5-chloro-2-methoxy benzoic acid may be converted into a mixed anhydride in situ with an alkyl chloroformate in the presence of a tertiary base, such as triethylamine or pyridine, in an inert solvent, such as a chlorinated hydrocarbon, a lower alkyl ester of a lower fatty acid, an alkyl ketone or ether, a cyclic ether such as tetrahydrofuran or dioxan, at a temperature of from -20.degree. C. to room temperature; and the resulting mixed anhydride may then be reacted with 4-amino-1-benzyl piperidine to yield N-[4'-(1'-benzyl)piperidyl]-4-amino-5-chloro-2-methoxy benzamide. This compound may also be prepared by condensing the same acid or a 4-acylamino derivative thereof with 4-amino-1-benzyl piperidine in the presence of a dehydrating agent such as silicon tetrachloride, a mono-, di- or trialkyl silyl halide, titanium tetrachloride, dicyclohexylcarbodiimide, thionylchloride or sulphur trioxide in dimethyl sulphoxide, toluene sulphonyl chloride, acetone dimethylacetal or a polymeric dehydrating agent. The reactions may be carried out in anhydrous inert solvents such as halogenated or aromatic hydrocarbons, pyridine, lower alkyl ketones, esters or ethers, or cyclic ethers at temperatures between room temperature and the boiling point of the solvent used. If an acyl protecting group is present, the compounds of formula (I-A) are obtained by acid hydrolysis.

Compounds of structure (I-A) may also be prepared by condensing lower alkyl esters of 4-acylamino-5-chloro-2-methoxy benzoic acid with 4-amino-1-arylalkyl piperidine in an inert solvent, such as an aromatic or chlorinated hydrocarbon, in the presence of a base, such as an alkali metal lower alkoxide or a trialkoxy derivative of aluminium with continuous removal of the lower alcohol formed in the reaction.

Another example of a reactive derivative of a 4-amino or 4-acylamino-5-halo-2-alkoxy-benzoic acid which may be used is, for instance, the derivative formed from N-ethyl-5-phenylisoxazoline 3-sulphonate (Woodwards Reagent).

The compounds (I-A) may also be prepared by reacting 4-acylamino-5-halo-2-alkoxy benzoic acid or its reactive derivatives, such as the acid chloride, N-imidazolamine or azide, with a 4-amino-1-arylalkyl piperidine. For example, 4-acetamido-5-chloro-2-methoxybenzoyl chloride reacts with 4-amino-1-benzyl piperidine in an inert solvent such as a halogenated hydrocarbon, an aromatic hydrocarbon, a lower alkyl ester of a lower alkonoic acid, a lower alkyl ketone or ether, or a cyclic ether, such as tetrahydrofuran or dioxan, in the presence of an organic tertiary base such as, for example, pyridine or a triethylamine, to give the 4-acetamido derivative, which may then be hydrolyzed in aqueous or aqueous alcoholic acid solutions to yield N-[4'-(1'-benzyl) piperidyl]-4-amino-5-chloro-2-alkoxy benzamide.

Compounds of structure (I-A) may also be prepared by reacting N-(4'piperidyl)-4-acylamino-5-chloro-2-alkoxy benzamides with arylalkyl halides in an inert solvent such as an aromatic hydrocarbon, lower alkyl ester of a lower alkanoic acid, lower alkyl ketone or ether or a cyclic ether, lower alkyl cyanide or chlorinated hydrocarbon, at temperatures between ambient and the boiling point of the solvent, in the presence of an inorganic base, such as potassium carbonate or sodium bicarbonate.

The 4-amino-5-halo-2-alkoxy benzoic acids used as starting material may be prepared from 4-acetamido salicylic acid by alkylation and esterification of the 2-hydroxyl group and the acid group respectively by treatment with a lower alkyl halide or sulphate in an inert solvent, such as a lower alkyl ketone or ester, in the presence of an inorganic base such as potassium carbonate. The product is then halogenated in the 5-position of the benzene nucleus with a halogen, such as chlorine or bromine, in a solvent, such as acetic acid, in the presence of the halide of a heavy metal, such as iron chloride. Other halogenating agents, such as iodobenzene dichloride, may also be used. The corresponding acid may be prepared by acid hydrolysis in aqueous or aqueous alcoholic solutions.

4-amino-1-arylalkyl piperidines may be prepared by reduction of the corresponding 1-arylalkyl piperidone oximes with alkali aluminium hydrides or alkali metals in an alcoholic solvent. [Harper N. J. et al. J. Med. Chem. 7, 729-732 (1964)].

1-arylalkyl 4-piperidone oximes may be prepared by reaction of the corresponding ketone with hydroxylamine hydrochloride in aqueous alcoholic solution. The 1-aryl-alkyl-4-piperidones are prepared by literature procedures [e.g., Beckett et al. J. Med. Pharm. Chem. 1, 37 (1959)] or from 4-piperidone hydrochloride. The latter compound is converted into its diethylene ketal with ethylene glycol. The ketal is then reacted with an aryl or arylalkyl acid halide to yield a 1-aroyl or 1-aryl-alkoyl piperidone ethylene ketal which may be reduced with lithium aluminum hydride to give the corresponding 1-arylalkyl piperidone diethylene ketal, acid hydrolysis of which yields the 1-arylalkyl-4-piperidone.

The invention also provides salts of compounds of structures (I) and (I-A) with biologically and pharmacologically acceptable inorganic and organic acids, non-limiting examples of which are sulphates; hydrohalide salts; phosphates; lower alkane sulphonates; arylsulphonates; salts of C.sub.1 -C.sub.20 aliphatic mono-, di- or tribasic acids which may contain one or more double bonds, an aryl nucleus or other functional groups such as hydroxy, amino, or keto; salts of aromatic acids in which the aromatic nuclei may or may not be substituted with groups such as hydroxyl, lower alkoxyl, amino, mono- or di- lower alkylamino sulphonamido. Also included within the scope of the invention are quaternary salts of the tertiary nitrogen atom with lower alkyl halides or sulphates, and oxygenated derivatives of the tertiary nitrogen atom, such as the N-oxides. In preparing dosage formulations, those skilled in the art will select the pharmaceutically acceptable salts.

Compositions of the active compounds with pharmaceutically acceptable ingredients for oral and parenteral routes of administration are also included in the invention. The pharmaceutically acceptable diluents or carriers which are admixed with the active compound, or compounds, or salts of such compounds, to form the compositions of this invention are well known per se and the actual excipients used depend inter alia on the method of administering the compositions. The compositions of this invention may be adapted for oral, topical, percutancous or parenteral use but the preferred method of administration is per os. In this case, the oral compositions may take the form of tablets, capsules, lozenges or effervescent granules or liquid preparations, such as mixtures, elixirs, syrups or suspensions, all containing one or more compounds of the invention; such preparations may be made by methods well known in the art.

The diluents which may be used in the preparation of the compositions include those liquid and solid diluents which are compatible with the active ingredients, together with coloring or flavoring if desired. Tablets or capsules may conveniently contain between 0.1 and 20 mgs and preferably 0.1 to 5 mgs of active component or the equivalent amount of its salts.

The liquid compositions adapted for oral use may be in the form of solutions or suspensions. The solutions may be aqueous solutions of a soluble salt or other derivative of the active compound in association with, for example, sucrose to form a syrup. The suspensions may comprise an insoluble active compound of the invention or its salt or derivative in association with water, together with a suspending agent, flavoring agents, etc.

Compositions for parenteral injection may be prepared from soluble salts, which may or may not be freeze-dried and may be dissolved in water or an appropriate parenteral injection fluid.

In another aspect of the invention, the compounds may be mixed with other active anti-acid and anti-ulcer agents (excluding anticholinergic agents) for oral or in appropriate cases for parenteral use.

Therapeutic Properties

The compounds of the present invention have exhibited activities which may be considered beneficial in the treatment of gastrointestinal and cerebral malfunction in mammals including animals and man. The characteristic properties of these compounds are an antagonism of the effects of the dopaminergic agent, apomorphine, in animals, local anaesthetic activity and the ability to induce catatonia in rats and mice. Consequently, they are useful in the treatment of nausea and vomiting of diverse origin and as neuroleptic or tranquillizing agents.

Compounds provided by this invention have been shown to have antiemetic and neuroleptic properties and to increase the rate of stomach emptying in man. For example, salts of Clebopride have exhibited such properties at single doses of between 0.01 (10 .mu.g) and 20 mg. They may be used in doses of from 0.1 to 1000 mg per day for the treatment of nausea and vomiting due to gastrointestinal disorders, congestive heart failure, post operative conditions, etc., other gastrointestinal tract disorders such as dyspepsia, flatulence, bile regurgitations, hiatus hernia, peptic ulcer, reflux aerophagitis, gastritis, duodenitis and cholethiasis, and as an adjunt to radiography of the gastrointestinal tract and for overcoming gastrointestinal stasis for diagnostic or therapeutic purposes and a variety of conditions affecting the central nervous system such as acute and chronic psychoses, maniacal psychosis, schizophrenias, serious disturbances of behavior and non-melancholic depressive state and migraine. The compounds cause considerably less disturbance in the central nervous system than does chlorpromazine or other phenothiazine anti-emetic agents, probably as a function of their more selective anti-dopaminergic effects.

Experimental tests have shown, for example, that the hydrochloride and malate salts of Clebopride are extensively metabolized in the rat and in the rabbit. Only very little of the unchanged drug is excreted in the urine. N-Debenzylation is a major metabolic reaction. Cleavage of the amide bond does not appear to be a major matabolic reaction. Conjugation with glucuronic acid and/or sulphate occurs at a large extent in the rabbit.

The pharmacokinetics of the drug after intravenous administration follows a similar pattern in both species. The relatively low plasma concentrations observed after oral administration of high doses of the malate salt in spite of rapidly appearing peak levels indicating good absorption, and the rapid appearance of metabolites in blood, suggest that extensive first pass metabolism and/or uptake take place in the liver.

The recognition of this phenomenon is important for the evaluation of the pharmacology and the toxicology of the drug and for the choice of optimal therapeutic doses for oral and parenteral administration.

Standard pharmacological tests have been run using many of the compounds defined by the generic structural formulae (I) and (I-A). These tests have been run with rats, mice, dogs and humans. In many of these tests, the instant compounds have been compared with metoclopramide and other known therapeutic compounds which have properties similar to those compounds of the present invention.

A number of the compounds of the present invention were screened in parallel with metoclopramide for potential anti-emetic effects against apomorphine-induced gnawing in the rat and as local anaesthetics on the rat sciatic nerve (Table I). The most active compounds were also tested for their ability to decrease gastric emptying time in rats. Compound number 2 (the hydrochloride salt of Clebopride) was shown to have a potency similar to that of metoclopramide in this test.

As can be seen from Table I, some of these compounds exhibit a similar profile of activity to metoclopramide and in particular, compound number 2 (Clebopride-HCl salt) and compound numbers 3, 8, 9, 12, 15 and 18 are more active as an anti-emetic.

Some of the compounds do not exhibit antiapomorphine activity in the rat even at high doses, but are active in antagonizing the effect of apomorphine in the dog and in the pigeon at doses of 10-100 .mu.g/Kg and 10-50 mg/Kg respectively. Examples of such compounds are given by formula I where R=OCH.sub.3, R.sub.1 =H, R.sub.2 =So.sub.2 NH.sub.2, x=0, y=2, R.sub.3 =H, z=1, Ar=C.sub.6 H.sub.5 ; R=OCH.sub.3, R.sub.1 =H, R.sub.2 =So.sub.2 C.sub.2 H.sub.5, x=0, y=2, R.sub.3 =H, z=1, Ar=C.sub.6 H.sub.5.

The compounds cause considerably less disturbance in the central nervous system than does chlorpromazine and other phenothiazine antiemetic agents, This is demonstrated in Table III where it is shown that Clebopride, like metoclopramide and in contradistinction to chlorpromazine, exhibits antiemetic activity (anti-apomorphine activity) at doses which are far removed from those causing catatonia. The dose of the active compounds in humans may vary between 0.1 to 100 mg per day in divided doses.

The hydrochloride salt of Clebopride has demonstrated high activity against apomorphine-induced vomiting in the dog. Using the oral route, the hydrochloride salt is approximately 8 times more potent than metoclopramide as reported in Table II.

The properties of the compounds of the present invention are illustrated by the following discussion of pharmacological studies.

Based on pharmacological studies with mice, the HCl-Clebopride salt has shown to be a local anaesthetic with a potency somewhat greater than that of either metoclopramide or procaine.

Other studies have indicated that HCl-Clebopride effects the central nervous system. For example, it has anti-convulsant activity. Clebopride is somewhat more potent than metoclopramide in preventing electrically induced convulsions in mice. However, neither Clebopride nor metoclopramide appear to inhibit convulsions induced by strychnine in the mouse, nor to possess anti-oxotremorine activity. Nevertheless, both compounds are capable of causing salivation and tremors in mice which have been previously treated with a sub-threshold dose of oxotremorine. The HCl-Clebopride salt, but not metoclopramide, inhibits tonic convulsions (antileptazol) in the mouse but apparently not clonic seizures induced by leptazol.

Both HCl-Clebopride and metoclopramide inhibit spontaneous motor activity and cause incoordination as measured on an accelerating rota-rod in the mouse. Catatonia attributed to Clebopride has been noted in the rat and to a lesser extent in the mouse.

HCl-Clebopride salt has weak effects on the cardiovascular and respiratory systems. For example, in cats anaesthetized with chloralose, a slow-intravenous infusion of HCl-Clebopride salt at a rate of 1 mg/kg/min. to a total dose of 10 mg/kg produces a slight fall in both blood pressure and heart rate and slowing of respiratory movements.

HCl-Clebopride does not have an appreciable effect on the autonomic nervous system.

The HCl-Clebopride salt does have antipyretic and analgesic activity. For example, Clebopride in a 300/mg/kg per os dose had similar activity to 200 mg/kg of aspirin against yeast-induced pyresis in the rat. Clebopride, at a dose of 300 mg/kg per os, almost completely inhibited the writhing syndrome induced in mice by the intra-peritoneal injection of acetic acid.

The HCl-Clebopride salt has weak anti-inflammatory activity and no appreciable parasympatholytic activity.

A number of the instant compounds, particularly the hydrogen chloride, malate and methanesulfonate salts of Clebopride have been extensively tested in humans to determine maximum dosages and the therapeutic effects of the compounds. These compounds have been administered to humans orally and parenterally.

Suitable doses of the hydrochloride salt have been shown to be virtually free of side effects and single doses of between 0.2 and 5 mg appear to be effective in, for example, increasing gastric emptying. Dosages of between 0.1 and 30 mg per day have been shown useful depending upon the length of treatment and therapeutic effect desired.

A study was made to test the effect of Clebopride on decreasing gastric emptying time in humans, using a variety of doses (0.2 mg, 1 mg, 2 mgs and 5 mgs) in comparison with 10 mgs of metoclopramide.

All drugs were given in liquid suspension by mouth, and the patients used had a variety of diagnoses but having in common some kind of gastric disturbance.

The evaluation was based on the subjective opinion of the radiologist in terms of the time required for the appearance of peristaltic waves and their capacity to evacuate. the stomach, according to the following scheme:

+: no effect

++: moderate effect

+++: good effect

++++: maximum effect

As a guide, 10-20 mgs metoclopramide gave an effect of +++.

The results obtained in some 35 patients are detailed in the following table:

______________________________________ Doses No. of Patients + ++ +++ ++++ ______________________________________ 0.2 mg = 6 0 0 6 0 1 mg = 6 1 2 3 0 2 mg = 8 0 2 3 3 5 mg = 9 0 2 0 7 Control 6 1 5 0 0 ______________________________________

From this and other tests, it is concluded that 0.2 mg of Clebopride gives as rapid and forceful contraction of the stomach as 20 mgs of metoclopramide. Two mg of Clebopride has a more rapid onset of action and gives a more forceful contraction than 20 mg of metoclopramide.

Another study has been made to investigate the acute tolerance of the malate salt of Clebopride following intramuscular and intravenous administration in humans.

The subjects used were healthy male volunteers between 20 and 24 years of age and were divided into 8 groups and dosed with the test compound according to the following scheme:

Group I: 1 mg intramuscular per day for 5 days

Group II: 1.5 mgs intrasmuscular per day for 5 days

Group III: 2 mgs intramuscular per day for 5 days

Group IV: 0.25 mg intravenously per day for 5 days

Group V: 0.50 mg intravenously per day for 5 days

Group VI: 1 mg intravenously per day for 5 days

Group VII: 1.5 mgs intravenously per day for 5 days

Group VIII: 2 mgs intravenously per day for 5 days

The parameters evaluated were subjective symptoms; psychic disturbances; neurological disturbances; autonomic symptoms; digestive disturbances; urogenital disturbances; skin and mucous membranes; pulse; blood pressure; temperature; other side effects; blood analysis--leucocytes formula, hemoglobin content, erythrocyte sedimentation rate, glucose, cholesterol, urea, hepatic function tests, transaminasas; and urine analysis--density, albumin, sediment.

Significant effects are summarized as follows:

1. Of the four subjects in Group I, one case of slight sleepiness was noted from the second day of treatment.

2. Tiredness, sleepiness and fatigue in three of the four subjects in Group II accompanied with slight depression.

3. Three of the four subjects in Group III showed sleepiness, fatigue and depression followed by euphoria.

4. Sleepiness, fatigue and depression of medium intensity were seen in many patients in Groups IV to VIII and appeared not to be dose dependent. Additionally, in Groups VII and VIII, some degree of sweating, hypersalivation and dryness of the mouth were variously seen.

5. The blood and urine analysis performed in Groups II and VII showed no significant variations.
