Abstract

ABSTRACT OF THE DISCLOSURE:

The invention relates to benzimidazole-carbamates substituted in position 5 of general formula:

Description

~5~)Z80 This invention relates to benzimidazole-carbamates endowed with anthelmintic activity; more particularly it relates to new benzimidazole-carbamates substituted in position 5(6) by a diene chain bound to position 5(6) by an atom of oxygen or of sulphur optionally oxidized, and the use thereof as anthelminthes.
Benzimidazole-derivatives exist in tautomeric forms such as ~ B~ -B

For nomemclature convention the substituent A which is in position 5 in a tautomeric form, assumes position 6 in the other tautomeric form~
So a benzimidazole-derivatives having a substituent in the position corresponding to substituent A, is generally defined as "5(6)-substituted".
Several benzimidazole-carbamates variously substituted in position 5(6), as well as their anthelmintic action are known (see for example German patent applications Nos. 2,029,637 and 2,164,690; French patents Nos. 1,556,824 and 2,052,988; US
patents Nos. 3,010,968, 3,915,986 and 4,002,640).
Anthelmintic benzimidazole-carbamates have been described also in German patent applications Nos. 2,816,694 and
2,843,308 in the name of the Applications.
Many benzimidazole-carbamates substituted in position 5(6) have been put on the market, such as for example Albendazole, Oxibendazole and Parbendazole produced by Smith Kline Co.;

Phenbendazole produced by Hoechst; Oxphendazole produced by Syntex; Cambendazole and Thiabendazole produced by Merck, - 1 - ~

z~

and Mebendazole produced by Janssen.
We have now found new benzimidazole-carbamates, which constitute the object of the present invention, substituted in position 5(6), having the general formula:

C=CH-l=C-CH2-X ~ N ~ (I) Rl / ~ J ~ NH-COOR
,' wherein:
R = alkyl Cl-C4;
Rl and R2 (like or unlike each other) = H, halogen, methyl optionally substituted by one or more halogen atoms;
R3 and R4 (like or unlike each other) = H, Cl, CH3;
X = O, S, SO, S02.
The compounds of general formula I are endoxed with an high anthelmintic activity and a wide action spectrum being active against both gastrointestinal and broncho-pulmonary parasites and against hepatic parasites of domestic and breeding animals.
The synthesis of the compounds of general formula (I) is carried out according to simple steps, as results from the following scheme (wherein R, Rl, R2, R3 and R4 have the same meanings indicated in general formula (I); Z and Z' = Cl, Br;
RS = H, CH3CO) :

The first passage of the scheme of reaction for obtain-ing the compounds of formula (I) (reaction I), i.e. the reaction between a compound of fo~mula C ~whe~ein R1 and R2 have the meanings indicated in general formula (I), and Z and Z' (like or unlike each other) are Cl, Br_/' and a diene of the type CH2=C - C=CH2 ~wherein R3 and R4 have the same meanings specified in general formula (I) ~, is conducted by radical intermediates in the presence of suitable catalysts such as Redox-transfer systems, as for example copper salts and amines, as described by B.M. Asscher et al. / J. Chem. Soc.
page 1887 ~1963) ~ , or in the presence of ruthenium complexes, as more recently described by H. Matsumoto et al. /Chemistry Letters, page 115 (1978) ~ for the reaction between CC14/(A), Rl=R2=Z=Z'+Cl ~ and isoprene CH2=C - CH=CH2 / (B), R3=CH3, R4=H / in the presence of dichloro-tris-triphenyl-phosphine-ruthenium (Ru /P(c6Hs)3 ~ 3C12) It is important to point out that reaction I, both when conducted in the presence of Redox-transfer systems, and when conducted in the presence of ruthenium complexes, is not region-selective, wherefore when in compound B substituent R3 is different from R4, also mixtures of positional isomers, besides mixtures of cis-trans isomers due the presence of the double bond, are obtained.
For example, starting from CC14 and isoprene, mixtures of the following compounds are obtained:
IH3 fH3 Cc13-CH2-C = CH-CH2Cl Ccl3-cH2-cEl=c - CH2Cl ~5~80 /(C'), Rl=R =Z=Z'=Cl; R3=CH3, R4=H and R3=H, R4--C~13 7 Generally the mixture of the positional isomers is separable into the individual isomers by fractionated distillation.
The compounds of formula (C) or (C') are then reacted with the sodium salt of 2-nitro-4-hydroxy-aniline (sodium phenate) / (D), X=O, R5=H~ or of 2-nitro-4-mercapto-aniline (sodium mercaptate) ~ (D), X=S, R5=H~ according to reactions III and IV.
In some cases it is preferable ,to protect the amino group of compounds (D) by acetylation starting then from the corresponding N-acetyl-anilines ~ (D), R5=CH3CoJ , The acetyl group then can be easily removed by hydroli-sis at the more convenient step of the process.
In this manner, nitro-aniline of formula (E) or ~E') are obtained. The latter, when treated with bases, undergoes a dehydrohalogenation on its side chain in position 4 respect to the amino group (X-Y'), so providing the nitro-aniline indicated by letter (E) (reaction V).
Nitro-aniline (E) is then reduced, for example, with sodium hydrosulphite (Na2S2O4), so obtaining phenylenediamine (F) (reaction VI).
Phenylenediamine F is then reacted with 1,3-bis-alkoxycarbonyl-S-methyl-isothiourea, so obtaining benzimidazole-carbamates of general formula (I), in which X = O or X = S
(reaction VII).
By reacting phenylenediamine F with 1,3-bis-methoxycar-bonyl-S-methyl-isothiourea compounds of formula I in which R is methyl are obtained.
In a similar manner by reacting phenylenediamine F with 1,3-bis-ethoxycarbonyl-S-methyl-isothiourea or 1,3-bis-propoxycarbonyl-S-methyl-isothiourea or 1,3-bis-butoxycarbonyl-S-methyl-isothiourea, benzimidazole-carbamates of formula I are prepared in which R is either ethyl, propyl or butyl.

~5~2~30 Finally, from the benzimidazole-carbamates of formula (I), in which X = S, it is possible to obtain, by oxidation with peracids, the compounds of formula (I~ t in which X = SO
or SO2 (reaction VIII).
Reaction VIII is conveniently carried out by dissolving the benzimidazole-carbamate of formula I (in which X=S) in an inert solvent (or in a mixture of inert solvents) and by adding at a temperature of from -30C to room temperature, a peracid such as peracetic acid, perbenzoic acid or 3-chloro-perbenzoic acid.
When it is desired to convert the thio group to its corresponding sulphinyl group, equimolecular quantities of peracids are used. While when it is desired to convert the thio group to its corresponding sulphonyl group, or to convert the sulphonyl group to its corresponding sulphonyl group, an excess of peracid is used.

Some of the compounds indicated by the letters C and C' on scheme 1 are known compounds such as the afore mentioned ~S~280 adduct of carbon tetrachloride and isoprene or l-bromo-exa-2,4-dienetsorbyl bromide) of formula CH3-CH=CH-CH=CH2Br or 5-chloro-1,3-pentadiene of formula cH2=cH-cH=cH-cH2cl described in Russian Patent No 472,926 ~Chemical Abstract 83, 78559 x (1975)_/.
However in the course of the studies carried out on the synthesis of the benzimidazole-carbamates of general formula (I), it has been noticed that many of the intermediates indicated by the letters C and C' on scheme 1 are compounds previously unknown, wherefore the compounds having the general formulae given hereinbelow are a further object of this inven-tion:
R \ R3 R4 C-CH2-C = C-CH2Z (II) and R,2, Z I

wherein:
Rl = F, methyl substituted by one or more halogen atoms, R2 = halogen, methyl substituted by one or more halogen atoms, Z and Z' (like or unlike each other) = Cl, Br, R3 and R4 (like or unlike each other) = H, CH3.
Some of the compounds of general formulae II and III
can be prepared also by other methods.
For example, compounds in which R3 = H and R4 = CH3 can be prepared by reacting the corresponding compounds in which z = H with N-halo imides (N-bromo-succinimide etc.) in the presence of radical reaction promoters.
As already mentioned hereinbefore, the compounds of ~: .

~s~o general formula (I) are endowed with a high enthelmintic activity and a wide action range, these characteristics permitting to successfully fight infestations in mammals and birds, for example in the domestic and breeding animals.
Compounds of formula I are active against gastrointes-tinal parasites such as Ostertaqia spp., T~ichostronqYlus ssp., StronqYloides ssp., Trichuris ssp., Oesophaqostum ssp.,Chabertia ., Nematodirus ssp., Moniezia ssp., Cooperia ssp., ~laemonchus ssp., against broncho-pulmonary parasites such as Dictyocaulus ssP.l and against hepatic parasites such as Fasciola ssp.
The latter characteristic can be dificulty found in the known anthelminthes. The wide field of action of the compounds of general formula (I) represents an important characteristic as the administration of same to infested animals causes a simultaneous liberation o the animal from gastrointes-tinal, hepatic and broncho-pulmonary parasites.
Furthermore, compounds of formula I have been found to be active against-other nematode parasites of the order of fila-rioidea, including Bruqia Pahangi and Dirofilaria immitis.
The activity of compounds according to the present inven-tion was determined in experiments conducted on naturally infested sheeps or, in the case of Fasciola,on artificially infested sheeps.
The animals were divided into two groups, one of which was treated with one dose of the product being tested (orally) while the other untreated group was used as check. During 48-72 houes after treatment with the compound being tested, the excrements of the animals were collected in order to determine the number of parasites or of eggs; successively the animals were killed to determine the reduction of the infestation in comparison with the check.
For veterinary use, the administration of the compounds of this invention to the animals to be treated can be effected according to the usual veterinary techniques for ~15132130 the anthelmintic trea~ment, namely orally in the form of boil, tablets, suspensions, etc., by injections in the form of an injectable liquid or by absorption through the skin (spot on).
It is important to notice that the anthelmintic compounds object oE the present invention are endowed, unlike known anthelminthes, with a good solubility (about 20% by weight) in N-methyl-2-pyrrolidone, an injectable liquid employed in the veterinary technique.
The amounts to be given depend on various actors, among which important are the weight oE the animal to be treated, the nat~re and the severity of the infestation.
Suitable doses are at the discretion of the veterinary physician but may be within the range of 0.5 tolOO mg of the compound of formula I per Kg body weight of the host, preferably 1 to 10 mg/Kg.
Little animals need amounts of a few milligrams of anthelmintic compound, while great animals, such as cattle, sheep, etc., may need amounts of the order of grams per subject.
In practice, the active compound is usually formulated with a vehicle agent (carrier) of veterinary use, or directly in the food for the animal. The active compound may be mixed or dispersed in one of the components of the food, or utilized in the form of boil, tablets easily ingestable or capsules, drenching, suspensions, powders, pastes, salt licks, block licks, granules, pelIets feed premixes. The carrier may be also a pharmaceutic diluent or excipient of the type generally employed in the formulation of medicines; easily available products are, for example, the following: maize starch, terra alba, lactose, saccharose, calcium phosphate, gelatin, stearic acid,magnesium stearate, dextrin, agar, pectines, vegetable oils, injectable liquid carrier such as propylen glycol, N-methyl-2-pyrrolidone, and so on.

If desired other active ingredients such as other anthelmintics, food and mineral supplements may be included in the formulation.
The way of administering may vary remarkably and depends on the specific requirements.
With respect to anthelmintic activity, preferred compounds are thio-derivatives ~X=S) and sulphinyl derivatives (X=SO). Some of the samples tested for anthelmintic activity were mixtures of positional isomers ~R3 different from R4).
However the anthelmintic activity of samples of different composition is practically non-affected by the relative positional isomers ratio (see example 21).
The following examples are given to better illustrate the invention.

PreParation of 1,5,5-trichloro-3-methylhex-2-ene(A) and of 1,5,5-trichloro-2-methylhex-2-ene (B) /Mixture No 1 7 In a "Pfaudler" type autoclave of 2.5 1 capacity the following compounds were introduced under vacuum:
- l,l,l-trichloroethane (CH3-CC13) 1200 ml - isoprene (CH2=C=CH-CH2) 500 ml - Ruthenium-tris-triphenylphosphine-dichloride Ru (C6Hs)3p J 3C12 The content of the autoclave was then stirred and heated up to 90C. At this temperature an exothermic reaction began and the temperature raised to 130C.
The reaction was continued for 2 and half hours keeping the temperature between 120 and 130C, then the autoclave was left to cool at room temperature. The reaction mixture was then concentrated by evaporation at reduced pressure (20 mmHg, 40C)-_ 10 _ ~5~3280 The residue of about 800 g was diluted with 1200 mlof petroleum ether. The ruthenium complex precipitated and was quantitatively recovered by filtration. The filtrate was again concentrated b~ evaporation and the residue was distilled under reduced pressure. The fraction boiling between - 82 and 85C at 5 mmHg was gathered (690 9).
Nuclear Magnetic Resonance (NMR) analysis revealed that the collected fraction was a mixtur~ of compounds (A) an^d (B) in a ratio of about 85:15 CH - CCl - CH2 - C = CH - CH2Cl (A) (cis-trans) `

CuC12.2H2O (2g) was introduced in an enamelled autoclave of 2.5 1 capacity.
The air was elimiriated from the autoclave and, under vacuum, the following compounds were introduced:
- a solution of n.butyl-amine (n.C4Hg-NH2) (3.~5 g) in acetonitrile (CH3C~) (300 ml) - a mixture of carbon tetrachloride (CC14) (600 ml) and isoprene (300 ml) _ 15 _ - carbon tetrachloride (200 ml).
The autoclave was then heated at 90-130C in three hours keeping the internal pressure a 7-8 atm by adding small amounts of isoprene from a small cylinder.
Then the autoclave was leEt to cool at room tempera-ture, and was opened. The content of the autoclave was distilled at reduced presSue (about 20 mmHg) in order to eliminate the volatile components from tpe reaction mixture ~isoprene, CC14 and CH3CN). The residue was distilled under high vacuum collecting all the distilled material in a single fraction which was then re-distilled collecting the fraction (570 g) boiling at 65 C (1.3 mmHg). NMR analysis revealed that the collected fraction was a mixture of compounds A and B (97% pure by GLC) in a ratio of about 70:30. An analogous preparation has been described by P.

Example 22 Activity against ~rugia pahangi (Filarioidea) n vivo Brugia pahangi adult worm transplant screen.
Young male adult birds were infested with large numbers of larvae by the intraperitoneal route. 60 days later adult worm were rec~vered, washed, sexed and counted into groups of 10 female and 5 male. These were then transplanted into the peritoneal cavities of naive (normal) birds. Following a recovery period, the compound to be tested was administered at 100 mg/kg for 5 consecutiye days by subcutaneous injection.
The compound was formulated in 1~ Tween 80 (trademark).
Each compound was tested in two animals. If the compound was inactive a worm recovery of 85-90% was expected;
this was then considered to be a pseudo-control. In this way control~> groups of 20 or more animals can be used, against which active compounds were compared. The selection of pseudo-controls is thus subjective but the hypothesis tha~t a compound i8 inactive was tested by the <sF test. If the variances of the pseudo-con-trols were homogeneous, then the active compounds were tested against thi~group by the <~student t test.
At autopsy (32 days after administration of the final dose of compound), the peritoneal fluid was also examined for the presence of microfilariae.
When these were absent, present in only small numbers, or abnorma~, the adult worms were examlned to determine if the compound has effected em~ryogenesis and/or spermetogenesis.
