6 Claims, No Drawings S-ALKOXY S-I-I ETER OCY CLIC-1,2,3,6-TETRAHY- DRO-4( H )-PYRIMIDINETHIONES FORMULA'I re f V in which:
R is Z-pyridyl, Z-pyrimidyl, 4-pyrimidyl, 2-pyrazinyl,
2-pyrrolyl, 2-quinolyl, l-thiazolyl or 4-thiazolyl;
R is lower alkyl, allyl or cyclopropanemethyl and R and R are hydrogen or lower alkyl or a pharmaceutically acceptable acid addition salt thereof.
:The pharmacologically active compounds of this invention have the basic structure of Formula I. However, it is apparent to one skilled in the art that well known nuclear substituents such as lower alkyl, lower alkoxy or halogen may be incorporated on the hetero- 2 sulfate salt. The reaction may be carried out in aqueous solution but is preferably carried out in alcoholic solution, for example in methanol. The reaction is preferably run a t'about room temperature to about 100C. most preferably about 40-80C.
The thioacetamide starting materials in the above procedure are prepared by the following procedures:
cyclic rings. These substituted compounds are used as v are the parent compounds.
In the compounds of Formula I, preferably R is 2- pyridyl. Also, preferably R is methyl.
Preferred compounds of this invention are l,2.3,6- tetrithydro-S-methoxy-l .3-dimethyl-5'-( 2-pyridyl 4(5H)-pyrimidinethione and l,2,3,6-tetrahydro-5- methoxy-3-methyl-5-( 2-pyri'dyl )-4(5H )-pyrimidinethlone.
The compounds of this invention produce inhibition of gastric acid secretion. This activity is demonstrated by administration to pylorus ligated rats at doses of about mg./kg. to about 60 mg./kg. orally. Also. this activity is demonstrated by administration to chronic gastric fistula rats (Brodie et al., Amer. J. Physiol. 202812-814, 1962) at doses of about 50 mg./kg. orally. In these procedures, compounds which produce an increase in gastric pH or a decrease in the volume of gastric juice or both are considered active.
These compounds show antiulce'r activity, for example in the restraint-stress methodin which on oral administration to rats these compounds inhibit the development of experimental ulcers.
The compounds of this invention are prepared by the The terms R R R and 'R; are'as defined above.
According to the above procedure, a 2-alkoxy-2- heterocyclic-thioacetamide is reacted with ammonia or a primary amine and two molar equivalents of formaldehyde. The thioacetamide and/or the ammonia or primary amine may b'eused in the reaction procedure as the acid addition salt, for example the hydrochloride or The terms R and R are as defined above; R is lower alkyl, preferably methyl or ethyl; and R is lower alkyl. f
According to procedure A. analkoxymethyl heterocycle is reacted with a strong base such as phenyl or butyl lithium and then with an appropriate isothiocyanate to give the N-substituted Z-alkoxy-Z-heterocyclicthioacetamides.
The alkoXymethyl-heterocycles are prepared by reacting a halomethyl-heterocycle with an alkoxide, such as sodium alkoxide, or alternatively, by reacting a heterocyclic-methanol with an appropriate halide, for example a lower alkyl, allyl or cyclopropanemethyl chloride or bromide, in the presence of a base such as sodium hydride.
According to procedure B, a lower alkyl Z-heterocyclic-acetate is converted to the 2-alkoxy compound by reacting with N-bromo or N-chlorosuccinimide and reacting the resulting 2-bromo or 2-chloro compound with a sodium alkoxide; the resulting lower alkyl 2- alkoxy-2-heterocyclic-acetate is converted to the corresponding acetamide by reacting with ammonium hydroxide; the acetamide is dehydrated to give the corresponding nitrile and the nitrile is converted to a 2- alkoxy-2-heterocyclic-thioacetamide by reacting with hydrogen sulfide in the presence of a base such as an amine or by reacting with ammonium polysulfide or', alternatively, the acetamide is reacted with phosphorus pentasulfide to give the corresponding thioacetamide. The N-substituted thioacetamides may be prepared by reacting the N-unsubstituted compounds with a lower alkylamine. I
The lower alkyl 2-alkoxy-2-heterocyclicacetate intermediates in procedure B may also be prepared by reacting an alkoxymethyl-heterocycle (which is an intermediate in procedure A) with a strong base such as phenyl lithium and a lower alkyl chloroformate.
Alternatively, the N-substituted 2-alkoxythioacetamide starting materials may be prepared by reacting a lower alkyl 2-alkoxy-Z-heterocyclic-acetate with a lower alkylamine and treating the resulting N-subphorus pentasulfide.
The pharmaceutically acceptable, acid addition salts of the compounds of Formula I are formed with organic and inorganic acids by methods known to the art. For example, the base is reacted with an organic or inorganic acid in aqueous miscible solvent, such as acetone or ethanol, with isolation of the salt by concentration and cooling or in aqueous immiscible solvent. such as ethyl ether or chloroform, with the desired salt separating directly. Exemplary of the salts which are included in this invention are maleate. fumarate, succinate. oxalate, benzoate, methanesulfonate, ethanedisulfonate, benzenesulfonate, acetate, propionate, tartrate. citrate. camphorsulfonate, hydrochloride, hydrobromide, sulfate. sulfamate, phosphate and nitrate salts.
The compounds of this invention are administered internally either parenterally, rectally or, preferably, orally in an amount to produce the desired biological activity. I
Preferably. the compounds are administered in conventional dosage forms prepared by combining an appropriate dose of the compound with standard pharmaceutical carriers.
The pharmaceutical carrier may be for example a solid or a liquid. Exemplary of solid carriers are lactose,
magnesium stearate, terra alba, sucrose, talc, stearic acid, gelatin. agar, pectin, acacia or cocoa butter. The
amount of solid carrier will vary widely but preferably 7 will be from about mg. to about 1 gm. Exemplary of liquid carriers are syrup, peanut oil, olive oil, sesame oil. propylene glycol, polyethylene glycol (mol. wt. 200-400) and water. The carrier or diluent may include a time delay material well known to the art such as, for example. glyceryl monostearate or glyceryl distearate alone or with a wax.
A wide variety of pharmaceutical forms can be employed, for examplejthe preparation may take the form of tablets, capsules. powders, suppositories. troches, lozenges, syrups, emulsions, sterile injectable liquids or liquid suspensions or solutions.
The pharmaceutical compositions are prepared by conventional techniques involving procedures such as mixing, granulating and compressing or dissolving the ingredients as appropriate to the desired preparation.
It will be apparent to one skilled in the art that the compounds of this invention have an asymmetric carbon atom and thus may be present as optical isomers. The connotation of the formulas presented herein is to include all isomers, the separated isomers as well as mixtures thereof.
The terms lower alkyl" and lower alkoxy" where used herein denote groups having 1-4 carbon atoms and halogen denotes chloro, bromo or fluoro.
