Description

Note: Descriptions are shown in the official language in which they were submitted.


STYR~L ~ IDI~ES
Background of the Invention
- This invention is broadly concerned with amldines having drug
and bio-affecting prop~rties. More particularly, the invention relates to -~styryla~idines and to sty.ylsulfonylamidine intermediates therefor. The
~tyrylamidines inhibit aggregation of blood platelets and also possess
~nalgesic activity. Apart from being precursors to the styrylamidines,
the styrylsul~onyla~idines of the inven~ion have analgesic ac~iv~ty.
With respec~ to ?rior art amidines, the styrylsulfonylamidines
~nd the styryla~idines of this invention are distinct and ncvel. The
following publications are cited by way of illustrating the closes~
prior art known to the inven~ors.
A. ~Iarxer, HPlvetica Chlmlca Acta, 55, 430 (1972) describes
a new synthesi6 of benæamidlnes substituted at tl~e imlde nltrogen by
~ .
.
. .

a 1,2-diphenyl-vinyl group. None of the amidines of the instant
invention whlch have a styryl or styrylsulfonyl radical at that
position are described.
B. G. Advani, et al., Tetrahedron Letters No. 56, 5825-5828
(1968) describes N-~-styrylamidines having pyrrolidino or morpholino
groups in place of the NH2 moiety of the amidino group whereas the
amidines of the present invention do not.
K. Hasegawa and S. Hirooka, Bulletin Chemical Society of
Japan, 45, 1893-1896 (1972~ disclose S-methylthioureas containing
phenylethene~l-sulfonyl substituents useful in the synthesis of
1,2,4-thiadiazine-1,1-dioxides. The styrylsulfonylamidines and
styrylamidines of the instant invention are not disclosed and are
structurally unrelated in that they are classified as amidines
rather than "S-methylthioureas".
French Patent 2,036,528 teaches that certain "ethene-
sulfonamides" are useful as intermediates in the preparation of
dioxothiadiazines. "Ethenesulfonamides" wherein the amidino nitrogen
is part of a nitrogen heterocycle are specifically disclosed.
Summary of the Invention
This invention is concerned with a group of styrylamidines
and the preparation thereof, which styrylamidines produce an analgesic
and an~ithrombogenic effect when administered. More particularly,
the invention pertains to the preparation of styrylamidines of
Formula I and non-toxic pharmzceutically acceptable acid addition
salts ~hereof.

The substances represcnted by Formul~ T are novel eomposltions of
matter and are effective as central nervous system analgesics and a5
inhibitors of blood platelet aggregation in mammals.
In the above formula, the symbols "Rl, R2, ~ and A" have the
followirlg meanings:
Rl represents a member of the group consisting of hydrogen, nitro,
amino, halogen, cyclohexyl, carbamoyl, lower alkylsulfonyl ~rom 1 to ~ carbon
atoms inclusive, sulfamoyl, and lower alkanoylamido of from 2 to 4 carbon
atoms inclusive. R2 represents hydrogen or halogen and R3 represents hydroge
or lower alkyl having 1 to 4 carbon atoms.
The symbol "A" represents a member of the group consisting of lower
alkyl of from 1 to 3 carbon atoms inclusive, di(lower)alkylaminophenyl,
phenyl, benzyl, ~-naphthyl, styryl, phenylbutadienyl, or a (X) -phenyl radical
which is represented by the symbol (X) ~ wherein X signifies
a member of the group consisting of ~owe~ alkoxy from 1 to 4 atoms inclusive,
halogen, nitro, amino, lower alkanoylamido of from 2 to 4 carbon atoms
inclusive, and n signifies an integer of 1 or 2.
It is to be understood that by employment of the terms "lower
alkyl", "lower alkoxy" and "lower alkanoylamido" herein, it is meant that the
carbon chains of each group include both straight and branched carbon
radicals of the designated number of carbon atoms. Exemplary of carbon chain
radicals containing 1 to 4 carbon atoms are methyl, ethyl, propyl, isopropyl,
l-butyl, l-methylpropyl, 2-methylpropyl, and _ert.-butyl. The term "lower
alkanoylamido of from ~ to 4 carbon atoms inclusive" comprehends both
straight and branched chain carbon radicals whereln the total number of
carbon atoms includes the carbonyl divalent radicaL. By the term "halogen"
as used herein, it is meant to connote all members of that group, i.e.,
chlorine, bromine, fluorine, and iodine.

Those skilled in the art will recognize that the sub~ect
styrylamidines of Formula I and their salts wherein R3 is hydrogen
can exist in more than one tautomeric modification as depicted by
Formulas II and III wherein Rl, R2 and A have the meaning previously
defined.

~ithout being bound by any theory9 it is believed that the protonated
styrylamidines of the present in~entlon, as is the case with the acid
addition salts, are best represented by a delocalized double bond
illustrated by Formula IV
Rl ~ R,3
2 C~C -N = C - A (1~)
ln Wherein X symbolizes an anion rather than fixed double bonds shown
in the foregoing tautomeric forms.
It will also be recognized that compounds of Formula I
exist as cis or trans geometrical isomers as the result of different
arrangements of groups around the ethylenic double bond. According
to nuclear ~agnetic resonance studies, the compounds of Formula I
are belived to have the trans~configuration on the basis of vinyl
proton coupling constants.

The compounds of this invention characterized by Pormula I are
obtained by a method which comprises tr~ating a styrylsulfonylamidine o~
Formula
Rl
5~ CH=CHS02-N=C-A (V)
2 NHR3
wherein Rl, R2, R3 and A are as herein defined with at least one molecular
proportion of sodium hydroxide in a reaction-inert solvent whereby S02 is
eliminated and thereafter ~rom the styrylsulfonylamidine of Formula (V)~and
if desired, reacting the resulting product in free base form with an acid to
form an acid addition salt thereof.
An alternate method of providing compounds of Formula I wherein R2
is amino involves reducing the corresponding nitro substituted styrylamidine.
Reduction of nitrostyrylamidines of Formula I to the corresponding amino
compounds is accomplished by selective reduction with sodium borohydride in
the presence of 10% palladium-on-carbon catalyst according to the method of
T. Neilson, et al., J. Chem. Soc., 371, (1962). ~
Compounds of Formula I containing lower alkanoylamido radicals can
also be obtained by acylating the corresponding amino substituted
styrylamidine with a lower alkanoyl halide or anhydride.
By reaction-inert solvent is meant a solvent wherein the
reactants are soluble and does not interfere with their interaction.
In this respect, acetone and dimethylsulfoxide are particularly
preferred. When acetone is selected as the reaction solvent, 2 to lO
moles of base per mole of styrylsulfonylamtdine is preferably employed
with a reaction perlod of from about 1 to 3 hr. at a temperaLure oE

64 hours. Styrylsulfonylamldines containing electron withdrawing R,
or R~ substituen~s provide higher yields of the correspondlng
6tyrylamidine product compared to yields of styrylsulfonylamidines
wherein R~ and R~ are hydrogen.
The compounds characterized by Formula I ha~e basic properties
and are converted to corresponding non-toxic pharmaceutically acceptable
acid addition salts by admixture of the base with a selected acid in
an inert organic solvent such as ethanol, ben2ene, ethyl acetate, ether,
hslogenated hydrocarbons (e.g.~ dlchloroethane), and the like. A
preferred method of salt preparation is to ~reat the base with substantially
one chemical equivalent of an acid such as hydrogen chloride or isathionic
acid in ethanol solutlon. The salt is isolated from the ethanolic solution
~y chilling or the addition of an appropriate co-solvent such as ether.
Both ~ha free base and salt forms of the products of Formula I are
useul for the purpose of the invention although salts are par~icularly
preferred becau~e of thnir increased watEr solubility. It is to be
understood that the term "pharmaceutically acceptable acid ~ddition
salts" as used herein is construed to mean a combination of the compounds
of the present invention with a relatively non-toxic inorganic or organic
acid, the anion of which is pharmaceutically ineffective in the usual
do6sge. Some exam~le~ of inorganic or organic acids which may be
employed to providc a non-toxlc pharmaceutically acceptable acid addition
~alt of the compounds of Formula I are: ~ulfuric, pho~phoric, hydrochloric,
hydrobromic, hydrolodic, sulfamic, acetic, lactic, maleic, 6uccinic~
malic, fumaric, tartarlc, citric, gluconic, glutaric, ascorbic, ben20ic,
cinnamic, i~ethionic, and r~lated acids.

The compounds of this invent$on cha~acterized by Formula I
are therapeutically actlve substances whicn possess antithrombogenic
snd analgesic actlvities when present in an effective amount in the
mam~alian circulatory system.
Measurement o~ the antithrombogenic activity of the compounds
of Formula I is carried out by standard pharmacological tssts essentially
described by Born, Nature, 194, 927 (1962) and O'Brien, J. Clin. Path.,
15, 446 (1~62). This test comprises a nephelometric method in which
the change ln turbidity of a specimen of platelet rich plasma (human
or ra~bit) is meas~red on causation of platelet aggregation by addiLion
of a thrombogeni& inducing agent such a~ adenosine cliphosphate or
collagen. The compounds of the present invention are effective
ahtithrom~ogenic agent~ according to this test at concentrations in
the order of about 0.5 to 90 mcg.t3~5 ml. platelet rich plasmaO In
the ~ntact animal, the antithrombogenic effect is readily observed
2S by applying the above test to blood samples withdrawn p~i¢r to and
Qfeer adminiPtration of a compound of the present invention. While
compounds of Formula I generally exhiblt significant antithrombogenic
activity, compounds ~thlch reduce ~he thrombo~enic capacity o collagen

or adenosine diphosphate lnduced platelet aggregation by 50~ or more
at concentrations of less than 15 mcg./0.5 ml. of platelet rich plasma
are preferred and by way of example there can be mentioned:
N-styrylbenzamidine hydrochloride,
N-(3,4-dichlorostyryl)acetamidine hydrochloride,
3,5-diamino-N-(4-nitrostyryl)benzamidine trihydrochloride,
;~ 4-amino-N-(4-nitros~yryl~benzamidine hydrochloride,
4-(dimethylamino)-N-(4-nitrostyryl)benzamidine isethionate,
N-(4-aminos~yryl~benzamidine dihydrochloride,
~-(2-aminostyryl)benzamidine dihydrochloride,
4-amino-N-(4-aminostyryl)benzamidine trihydrochloride,
3-amino-N-(4-aminostyryl)benzamidine trihydrochloride,
N-~4-acetamidos~yryl)benzamidine hydrochloride,
N-(3-bromo-4-cyclohexylstyryl)acetamidine hydrochloride.
A particularly preferred group of styrylamidines of Formula I
comprises styrylbenzamidines wherein Rl and R2 are hydrophilic sub-
stituents such as sulfamoyl, carbamoyl, amino, and the like~ and the
X substituent is a radical whose electrons are capable of being
delocalized such as dialkylamino, amino, nitro, styryl, phenylbuta-
dienyl, and the like.
Another preferred group of styrylamidines of Formula I com-
prises styrylalkylamidines wherein Rl and R2 are lipophilic sub-
stituents such as alkyl, cycloalkyl, halogen, and the like.
A still further preferred group of compounds comprises
Formula I styrylamidines whereln A is methyl, R2 and Rl are halogen
and R3 is hydrogen.
Apart from the antithrombogenic activity, the compounds of
the present invention of Formula I have central nervous system analgesic
activity as demonstrated by preve~tion of the phenylquinone writhing
syndrome in mice. In this test, groups o~ 10-20 mlce are in~ected
-- 10 --

~L~7~
subcutaneously or orally with different doses of the test compound.
At predetermlned time intervals, the mice receive 2.5 mg./kg. phenylquinone
intraperltoneally. The total number of wr~thlng episode6 is counted
for each mou6e for 10 min. and the average percent decrease in writhing
recorded for each dose.
The novel styrylsulfonylamidines of Formula V in addition to
being useful as precursors to the styrylamidine products of Formula IV
have analgesic utility as measured in the foregoing phenylquinone
writhing test. A preferred class of styrylsulfonylamidines of Formula V
having particularly significant analgesic activity are those wherein
R, and R2 are each hydrogan, nitro ~r halogen ~nd A is phenyl or
lower alkyl of from 1 to 3 carbon atoms inclusive. Analgesic activity

According to the present invention, the antithrombogenic
process is carried out in mammals by systemic administration of a
non-toxic effective dose of the styrylamidines of Formula I ranging
from about 0.01 to lO mg./kg. of body weight of a mammal. By
systemic administration it is intended to include both oral and
parentaral routes. Examples of parenteral administration are
intramuscular, intravenous, intraperitoneal and subcutaneous. As
would be expected, the dosage will vary with the form of administratlon
and par~icular compound chosen.
It is to be understood that the term "non-toxic effective
dose" as used herein refers to quantity of active in8redient necessary
to produce the desired therapeu~ic effect without causing any harmful
or deleterious side effects.
The styrylamidines of Formula I can be formulated according
to conventional pharmaceutical practice to provide pharmaceutical
co~positions of unit dosage form which may include solid preparat~ons
suitable for oral administration such as tablets, capsules, powders,
granules, emulsions~ suspensions, and the like. The solid
preparation may comprise an inorganic carrier, e.g., talc, or an
organic carrier such as lactose or starch. Additives such as magnesium
stearate ta lubricant) can also be includPd. Liquid preparations
suitable for parenteral administration include solutions, suspensions
or emulsions of the compounds of Formula I in combination with the
usual diluent such as water, petroleum jelly, and the like; a
suspension media such as polyoxyethyleneglycol, vegetable oils and the
like. The compositions may also contain other additional ingredients
such as absorbing agents, stabilizing agents, and buffers.
