P-aminophenols, derivatives thereof and method of use

DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION

The present invention relates to p-aminophenols and derivatives thereof which prevent leukotriene formation in macrophages and as such are useful, for example, as antiallergy agents, anti-inflammatory agents and in the treatment of psoriasis. These compounds have the structural formula ##STR2## wherein m is 0, 1 or 2; n is 0, 1, 2 or 3; R.sup.1 and R.sup.2 may be the same or different and may be H, hydroxy, or alkoxy; R.sup.2 may be a substituent on either or both the A ring or B ring (with the B ring being preferred); R.sup.3 is H, lower alkyl, alkanoyl or aroyl; and R.sup.4 is H, lower alkyl or alkanoyl, and including pharmaceutically acceptable salts thereof.

As to the pharmaceutically acceptable salts, those coming within the purview of this invention include the pharmaceutically acceptable acid-addition salts. Acids useful for preparing these acid-addition salts include, inter alia, inorganic acids, such as the hydrohalic acids, (e.g., hydrochloric and hydrobromic acid), sulfuric acid, nitric acid and phosphoric acid, and organic acids such as maleic, fumaric, tartaric, citric, acetic, benzoic, 2-acetoxybenzoic, salicylic, succinic acid, theophylline, 8-chlorotheophylline, p-aminobenzoic, p-acetamidobenzoic or methanesulfonic.

In addition, a method is provided for treating asthma mediated by leukotrienes in a mammalian species in need of such treatment, which method includes the step of administering to a mammalian host an effective amount of a compound of formula I or a pharmaceutically acceptable salt thereof.

The term "lower alkyl" or "alkyl" as employed herein includes both straight and branched chain radicals of up to 12 carbons, preferably 1 to 8 carbons, such as methyl, ethyl, propyl, isopropyl, butyl, t-butyl, isobutyl, pentyl, hexyl, isohexyl, heptyl, 4,4-dimethylpentyl, octyl, 2,2,4-trimethylpentyl, nonyl, decyl, undecyl, dodecyl, the various branched chain isomers thereof, and the like as well as such groups including a halo-substituent, such as F, Br, Cl or I or CF.sub.3, an alkoxy substituent, an aryl substituent, an alkyl-aryl substituent, a haloaryl substituent, a cycloalkyl substituent or an alkylcycloalkyl substituent.

The term "cycloalkyl" includes saturated cyclic hydrocarbon groups containing 3 to 12 carbons, preferably 3 to 8 carbons, which include cyclopropyl, cyclobutyl, cyclopentyl, cyclohexyl, cycloheptyl, cyclooctyl, cyclodecyl and cyclododecyl, any of which groups may be substituted with 1 or 2 halogens, 1 or 2 lower alkyl groups and/or 1 or 2 lower alkoxy groups.

The term "aryl" or "Ar" as employed herein refers to monocyclic or bicyclic aromatic groups containing from 6 to 10 carbons in the ring portion, such as phenyl, naphthyl, substituted phenyl or substituted naphthyl wherein the substituent on either the phenyl or naphthyl may be 1 or 2 lower alkyl groups, 1 or 2 halogens (Cl, Br or F), 1 or 2 lower alkoxy groups and/or 1 or 2 hydroxy groups.

The term "aralkyl", "aryl-alkyl" or "aryl-lower alkyl" as used herein refers to lower alkyl groups as discussed above having an aryl substituent, such as benzyl.

The term "halogen" or "halo" as used herein refers to chlorine, bromine, fluorine or iodine with chlorine being preferred.

The terms "alkanoyl" and "aroyl" refer to a lower alkyl group linked to a carbonyl ##STR3## group and an aryl group linked to a carbonyl group, respectively.

The terms "lower alkoxy", "alkoxy", "aralkoxy", "alkanoyloxy", and "aroyloxy" include any of the above lower alkyl, aralkyl, alkanoyl and aroyl groups linked to an oxygen atom.

The term (CH.sub.2).sub.n includes straight or branched chain radicals having from 0 to 3 carbons in the normal chain. Examples of (CH.sub.2).sub.n groups include ##STR4## and the like.

Preferred compounds of the invention or for use in the method of the invention are those compounds wherein n is 0 or 1, m is 1 or 2, R.sup.1 is H, R.sup.4 is H or alkanoyl, R.sup.3 is H or alkyl, R.sup.2 is in the B ring and is H, OH or alkoxy.

The various compounds of the invention or compounds used in the method of the invention may be prepared as described below.

In general, indane and tetralin substituted p-aminophenols in accordance with the present invention are prepared by reductive amination of the appropriate indanones or tetralones with commercially available 4-benzyloxyaniline hydrochloride followed by removal of the benzyl protecting group, in accordance with the following reaction sequence. ##STR5##

The procedure employed involves stirring the ketone B and amine hydrochloride A (1.0-1.5 equivalents) over 3 .ANG. molecular sieves in methanol with excess sodium cyanoborohydride (1.5-3.0 hydride equivalents). The reactions are generally complete in 2-4 hours at room temperature. Hydrogenolysis (10% Pd-C/H.sub.2, 1 atm./EtOAc/MeOH) affords the desired N-substituted-p-aminophenols in good yields when a .about.1:10 (w/w) ratio of catalyst to substrate is employed. Increasing the ratio of catalyst to substrate gives substantially lower yields.

The requisite indanone and tetralone precursor B wherein R.sup.2 is alkoxy, such as methoxy in the 6 or 7 position, or is H are commercially available.

The tetralone precursor wherein R.sup.2 is in the 5,8-positions are prepared from epoxide C as shown in the following sequence. ##STR6##

Thus, reduction of epoxide C with excess lithium aluminum hydride (0.degree..fwdarw.25.degree., 12-18 hours) gives crude alcohol D in quantitative yield. Dess-Martin oxidation of D provides tetralone E. Tetralone E is converted to compounds of the invention as described previously.

Starting indanones J may be synthesized from commercially available 1-indanone F, shown by the following reaction sequence, by initial formation of the tosyl hydrazone (H.sub.2 NNHTs, 1:1 eq./EtOH, 100.degree. until solubilized) followed by methyllithium-induced elimination (3 eq./Et.sub.2 O, 25.degree., 2.5 hours) to give indene G. Hydroboration-oxidation of G using standard conditions affords 1,2-oxygen transposition product H. Dess-Martin periodinane oxidation affords desired indanone J. Indanone J is converted in good yield to corresponding compounds of the invention as described hereinbefore. ##STR7##

Ester IG is prepared as shown below from the substituted benzyloxyaniline intermediate II. Reaction of this intermediate II with an iodide R.sup.3 ' I (wherein R.sup.3 ' is alkyl, aroyl or alkanoyl) (1.25-1.5 eg./NaHCO.sub.3 /HMPA, 25.degree., 2-4 hours) gives IE. Removal of the benzyl protecting group from IE affords aminophenols IF cleanly by TLC. The crude oils are esterified with the appropriate acid chloride (1.1 eq./CH.sub.2 Cl.sub.2, 0.degree., 15 minutes) using 1.1 equivalents of 4-dimethylaminopyridine as a catalyst/base. ##STR8##

Compounds of formula I wherein R.sup.2 is OH may be prepared directly from compounds of the structure III by demethylation with boron tribromide (3 eq., -78.degree..fwdarw.25.degree. then three hours). ##STR9##

Compounds of formula I wherein R.sup.2 is alkoxy may be prepared directly from compounds of the structure IV by alkylating IV by treating with an alkyl halide in the presence of base such as sodium hydride to form V ##STR10##

Where R.sup.4 in the compounds of the invention is other than H, the starting compounds wherein R.sup.4 is H may be alkylated directly to form the formula IIIA compound ##STR11##

(where R.sup.4 ' is alkyl, alkanoyl or aroyl)

The compounds of the invention are inhibitors and prevent leukotriene formation in macrophages (Samuelsson, B., Science, Vol. 220, p. 568-575, 1983). The administration of compounds of this invention to humans or animals provides a method for treating allergy of a reagin or non-reagin nature. Asthma is preferably treated but any allergy wherein leukotrienes are thought to be involved as pharmacological mediators of anaphylaxis can be treated. For example, the compounds of this invention can be used for treatment of such conditions as allergic rhinitis, food allergy and urticaria as well as asthma, inflammation and psoriasis.

An effective but essentially non-toxic quantity of the compound is employed in treatment.

The compounds of the invention can be administered orally or parenterally to various mammalian species known to be subject to such maladies, e.g., humans, cats, dogs, and the like in an effective amount within the dosage range of about 1 to 100 mg/kg, preferably about 1 to 50 mg/kg and especially about 2 to 25 mg/kg on a regimen in single or 2 to 4 divided daily doses.

The active substance can be utilized in a composition such as tablet, capsule, solution or suspension containing about 5 to about 500 mg per unit of dosage of a compound or mixture of compounds of formula I. They may be compounded in conventional manner with a physiologically acceptable vehicle or carrier, excipient, binder, preservative, stabilizer, flavor, etc. as called for by accepted pharmaceutical practice. Also as indicated in the discussion above, certain members additionally serve as intermediates for other members of the group.

The following Examples represent preferred embodiments of the invention. Unless otherwise indicated, all temperatures are expressed in .degree.C. TLC plates were visualized by spraying and heating with 5% phosphomolybdic acid in ethanol.

A. 6,7-Epoxy-5,6,7,8-tetrahydro-1,4-dimethoxynaphthalene

(1) 4a,5,8,8a-Tetrahydro-1,4-naphthaquinone

The 1,3-butadiene adduct of p-quinone was prepared as described by van Tamelen, et al., JACS(91, 7315 (1969). An amount of 500 ml of liquified 1,3-butadiene was added to a mixture of 500 g (4.63M) of p-quinone in 3.5 liters of benzene at 0.degree. C. The five-liter round bottom flask was sealed with a tightly wired rubber stopper and stored in the dark at room temperature for 23 days. The mixture was treated with charcoal, filtered, and evaporated in vacuo. Recrystallization from petroleum ether (12 liters) gave 456.5 g (60.8%) of title solid, m.p. 52.degree.-57.degree. (lit. m.p. 52.degree.-54.degree. ).

(2) 5,8-Dihydro-1,4-naphthalene diol

As described in Ber., 62 2345 (1929) an amount of 1 ml of a saturated solution of hydrogen bromide gas in glacial acetic acid was added to a mixture of 104 g (0.642M) of the Part (1) quinone adduct in 174 ml of glacial acetic acid. The solution was stirred for 5 minutes at room temperature before a vigorous exothermic reaction took place (temperature 25.degree..fwdarw.110.degree. C. over 2 minutes) to give a light tan solid. The solid was collected and washed with hexane to give 100.5 g (0.621M) of title compound, m.p. 208.degree.-211.degree. (lit. m.p. 212.degree. ).

(3) 5,8-Dihydro-1,4-dimethoxynaphthalene

A suspension of 63.18 g (0.39 mole) of Part (2) 5,8-dihydro-1,4-naphthalenediol in 300 ml of absolute ethanol was heated briefly until solution was achieved. To this hot stirred solution was added alternately in 5 portions a solution of 40 g (1 mole) of sodium hydroxide in 100 ml of water, and 120 g (89 ml=0.95 mole) of dimethyl sulfate. The heat evolved during the addition caused the solution to reflux. After the addition was complete (approx. 30 minutes), a solution of 10 g of sodium hydroxide in 20 ml of water was added and the mixture was heated overnight at 75.degree..

The ethanol was removed in vacuo and the aqueous residue was thoroughly extracted with ether. The combined ether extracts were washed with saturated aqueous sodium chloride, dried, and concentrated in vacuo to give 70.40 g (95%) of title compound in the form of tan crystals, m.p. 48.degree.-50.degree..

(4) 6,7-Epoxy-5,6,7,8-tetrahydro-1,4-dimethoxynaphthalene

The mixture was poured into excess 10% aqueous sodium hydroxide (0.degree.-5.degree. ) and the layers separated. The aqueous layer was washed with methylene chloride, the combined organic layers washed with 10% aqueous sodium hydroxide, saturated aqueous sodium chloride, dried, and concentrated in vacuo to give a tan solid. Trituration with isopropyl ether gave 45 g (59%) of tan crystals, m.p. 127.degree.-130.degree.. Recrystallization from isopropyl ether gave title compound in the form of needles, m.p. 130.degree.-131.5.degree..

B. 1,2,3,4-Tetrahydro-5,8-dimethoxy-2-naphthalenol

To a solution of 0.79 g (3.8 mmol) of Part A compound in 20 ml of dry THF at 0.degree. C. was added mg (7.69 mmol, Aldrich) of lithium aluminum hydride in three portions. The mixture was stirred an additional ten minutes at 0.degree. C., then warmed to 25.degree. C. and stirred for 16 hours. The mixture was cooled to 0.degree. C., H.sub.2 O was cautiously added, then 1N aqueous HCl was added and this was extracted with EtOAc. The organic extracts were combined, dried (MgSO.sub.4) and concentrated in vacuo to yield 790 mg (100%) of title compound as a white solid: m.p. 128.degree.-129.degree. C.
