Description

HOECHST AKTIENGESELLSCHAFT Dr.SW/fe HOE 89/F 241 Description N,N'-Bis (alkoxyalkyl)-pyridine-2,4-dicarboxylic acid diamides, preparation and their use Compounds which inhibit proline hydroxylase and lysine hydroxylase cause a very selective inhibition of collagen biosynthesis by influencing the collagen-specific hydroxylation reactions. In the course of these, proteinbound proline or lysine is hydroxylated by the enzymes proline hydroxylase or lysine hydroxylase. If this reaction is suppressed by inhibitors, a non-functional, hypohydroxylated collagen molecule is formed, which can be released by the cells into the extracellular space in only a small amount. The hypohydroxylated collagen also cannot be incorporated into the collagen matrix and is very easily degraded by proteolysis. As a consequence of these effects, the amount of extracellularly deposited collagen overall is reduced.
It is known that the inhibition of proline hydroxylase by known inhibitors, such as α,a'-dipyridyl, leads to an inhibition of the Clq biosynthesis of macrophages (W. Muller et al., FEBS Lett. 90 (1978), 218; and Immunbiology 155 (1978) 47). This results in a failure of the classical route of complement activation. Inhibitors of proline hydroxylase therefore also act as immunosuppressants, for example in cases of immune complex diseases.
It is known that proline hydroxylase is inhibited effectively by pyridine-2,4- and -2,5-dicarboxylic acid (K. Ma jama a et al., Eur. J. Biochem. 138 (1984) 239-245).
However, in the cell culture these compounds are effective as inhibitors only in very high concentrations (Tschank, G. et al., Biochem. J. 238, 625-633, 1987).
German Patent A-3,432,094 describes pyridine-2,4- and -2,5-dicarboxylic acid diesters having 1-6 carbon atoms - 2 in the ester alkyl part as pharmaceuticals for inhibition of proline hydroxylase and lysine hydroxylase.
However, these lower alkylated diesters have the disadvantage that they are split too rapidly in the organism to give the acids and do not arrive at their site of action in the cell in a sufficiently high concentration, and are therefore of little suitability for possible administration as pharmaceuticals.
German Patent A-3,703,959, German Patent A-3,703,962 and 10 German Patent A-3,703,963 describe, in general form, mixed ester/amides, higher alkylated diesters and diamides of pyridine-2,4- and -2,5-dicarboxylic acid which effectively inhibit collagen biosynthesis in the animal model.
German Patent A-3,703,959 thus describes, inter alia, the synthesis of N,N'-bis(2-methoxyethyl)-pyridine-2,4dicarboxylic acid diamide (III) CONH- CH2- CH2- 0- CH3 (III) CONH- CH2 - CH2 - 0- CH3 and N,N'-bis (3-isopropoxypropyl)-pyridine-2,4-dicarboxylic acid diamide (IV) CH, CONH- CH,-CH,- CH,- 0- CH < 2 2 2 ch3 ch3 (IV) CONH- CH2- CH2- CH2- 0- CH CH, An improved process for the preparation of N,N'-bis(2methoxyethyl)-pyridine-2,4-dicarboxylic acid diamide (HI) is proposed in German Patent Applications P 38 26 471.4 and P 38 28 140.6. - 3 The enteral absorbability of many of the compounds described in German Patent A-3,703,959 is still unsatisfactory, however, so that there is a need to provide compounds which effectively inhibit proline hydroxylase and lysine hydroxylase after oral administration even in low dosages.
It has been found that compounds of the formula I CONH-(R1)-(0R2)nr 2, W JLcONH-tR1 )-(0RZ )n«, N wherein R1 denotes linear or branched C^-C^-alkanediyl, R2 denotes unbranched Ci-C^-alkyl or hydrogen, n denotes 1 or 2 and R1', R2' and n' have the same meanings as R1, R2 and n, R1 and R1', and R2 and R2’ and n and n' being identical or different, and physiologically tolerated salts thereof, excluding Ν,Ν'-bis(2-methoxyethyl)-pyridine-2,4-dicarboxylic acid diamide and Ν,Ν'-bis(2-hydroxyethyl)-pyridine-2,4-dicarboxylic acid diamide, achieve the abovementioned object.
In comparison with the compounds Ν,Ν'-bis(2-methoxyethyl) -pyridine-2, 4 -dicarboxylic acid diamide and Ν,Ν'bis (3-isopropoxypropyl)-pyridine-2,4-dicarboxylic acid diamide described in German Patent A-3,703,959, the compounds of the formula I have both a better pharmaco25 logical activity and a better enteral absorbability.
The invention furthermore relates to a process for the preparation of N,N'-bis-(alkoxyalkyl)-pyridine-2,4dicarboxylic acid diamides of the formula I CONH-(R1).,.(OR2)n Ο J_ CONH-(R1·)-(OR2')_.

The invention likewise relates to a process for the 15 preparation of N,N'-bis-(alkoxyalkyl)-pyridine-2,4dicarboxylic acid diamides of the formula I CONH-(R1)-(0R2)n (I) CONH-(R1’)-(OR2*)n» wherein R1 denotes linear or branched Cx-C^-alkanediyl, R2 denotes unbranched C1-C4-alkyl or hydrogen, n denotes 1 or 2 and R1’, R2’ and n' have the same meanings as R1, R2 and n, R1 and R1’, and R2 and R2’ and n and n' being identical or different, which comprises first A) 1. adding at least two equivalents of a halogenating agent to pyridine-2,4-dicarboxylic acid and 2. dissolving at least 2 equivalents of a hydroxyalkyl30 amine or alkoxyalkylamine of the formula II or II' H2N-(R1) - (0Rz)„ (II) H2N-(Rv)-(OR2’)n.

In the process for the preparation of the compounds of the formula I, the pyridine-2,4-dicarboxylic acid commercially available as a starting substance is suspended in a solvent, such as toluene, and a halogenating agent, preferably a chlorinating agent, such as, for example, SOC12, is added at room temperature. 2-3 equivalents, preferably 2.5 equivalents, of a halogenating agent, - 6 based on the molar amount of pyridine-2/4-dicarboxylic acid employed, are used. The resulting reaction mixture is heated at 90-110’C, preferably at 100°C/ until no further evolution of gas is to be observed and a clear solution has formed. 10% of the solution is then evaporated off - preferably under a high vacuum (down to about 10‘3 mm Hg) - and the resulting carboxylic acid halide is reacted further. 2-4 times the molar amount of commercially available 10 alkoxyalkylamine or hydroxyalkylamine, based on the molar amount of pyridine-2,4-dicarboxylic acid employed, is now dissolved in a solvent, such as toluene, and 2-4 times the molar amount of a base, such as triethylamine, is preferably added. The carboxylic acid halide is reacted with the alkoxyalkylamine or the hydroxyalkylamine. This is preferably done by adding the solution of the alkylamine mentioned dropwise to the dissolved pyridine-2,4dicarboxylic acid halide. However, it is also possible to add the solution of the carboxylic acid halide dropwise to the solution of the alkoxyalkylamine or hydroxyalkylamine. The addition is carried out at a temperature of -5 to +5°C, preferably at 0’C. The reaction mixture can then be after-reacted, for example, by warming it to room temperature and subsequently stirring it for a further 225 5 hours, preferably 3 hours. The resulting product is then acidified in order to remove excess hydroxy- or alkoxyalkylamine from the desired product. The acidification can be carried out, for example, with 0.2 molar citric acid. The organic phase is then separated off and washed with water. The organic phase is subsequently dried - preferably over magnesium sulfate - and finally freed from the solvent. On removal of the solvent, the product is obtained as a white solid or as an oil.
To prepare the N,N'-bis(hydroxyalkyl)-pyridine-2,435 dicarboxylic acid diamides, a procedure is preferably followed in which a corresponding bis(alkoxyalkyl)diamide, preferably bis(methoxyalkyl)diamide, is converted - 7 into the corresponding bis(hydroxyalkyl)diamide by processes which are known from the literature, for example using boron tribromide.
Unsymmetrically substituted compounds of the formula I 5 can be synthesized, for example, as follows: reaction of a pyridine-2,4-dicarboxylic acid halide, preferably the chloride, with substituted or unsubstituted benzyl alcohol to give benzyl pyridine-2,4-diearboxylate, subsequent selective hydrolysis of the ester in the 210 position (for example in the presence of a copper catalyst, Acta Helv. 44, 1963, page 637), conversion of the free acid in the 2-position into the acid halide, reaction with a compound of the formula (II') to give the pyridine-4-(carboxylic acid benzyl ester)-2-carboxylie acid amide, splitting off of the remaining benzyl protective group by hydrogenolysis (for example with H2/Pd, see Houben-Weyl Volume IV/lc (1980), pages 381-82) and subsequent conversion of the free acid in the 4-position of the pyridine ring into the acid halide.
The acid halide can now be converted into the mixed diamide (I) with an amine II (see equation).
If appropriate, the products can be worked up, for example, by extraction or by chromatography, for example over silica gel. The product isolated can be recrystal25 lized and if appropriate reacted with a suitable acid to give a physiologically tolerated salt. Examples of possible suitable acids are: mineral acids, such as hydrochloric and hydrobromic acid as well as sulfuric, phosphoric, nitric or perchloric acid, or organic acids, such as formic, acetic, propionic, succinic, glycolic, lactic, malic, tartaric, citric, maleic, fumaric, phenylacetic, benzoic, methanesulfonic, toluenesulfonic, oxalic, 4-aminobenzoic, naphthalene-1,4-disulfonic or ascorbic acid.
The compounds of the formula I can be used as medicaments in the form of pharmaceutical preparations which contain - 8 them, if appropriate together with tolerated pharmaceutical excipients. The compounds can be used as medicines, for example in the form of pharmaceutical preparations which contain these compounds as a mixture with a pharmaceutical, organic or inorganic excipient suitable for enteral, percutaneous or parenteral administration, such as, for example, water, gum arabic, gelatin, lactose, starch, magnesium stearate, talc, vegetable oils, polyalkylene glycols, vaseline and the like.
The pharmaeutical preparations can be in solid form, for example as tablets, coated tablets, suppositories or capsules; in semi-solid form, for example as ointments, or in liquid form, for example as solutions, suspensions or emulsions. If appropriate, they are sterilized and/or contain auxiliaries, such as preservatives, stabilizers, wetting agents or emulsifiers, salts for modifying the osmotic pressure or buffers. They can also additionally contain other therapeutically active substances.
It has been found that the compounds of the formula I have exceptionally good enteral absorbabilities. The absorbability was investigated on Wistar rats to which the compounds according to the invention were administered intragastrally. The serum level dropped in the first hours after administration of the substance, and after about 5 hours reached a plateau which still fell only slightly. The good absorbability of the substances can be concluded from the initially very high serum level directly after administration of the substances.
The invention is illustrated in more detail below with the aid of examples. - 9 Example 1 Pyridine-2,4-dicarboxylic acid bis-Ν,Ν'-(methoxypropyl)amide g of pyridine-2,4-dicarboxylic acid are initially 5 introduced into 50 ml of toluene and 1 ml of dimethylformamide, and 2.7 ml of thionyl chloride are added dropwise to the solution.
