Background of the Invention
The present invention relates to substituted 2-pyridones
and 4-pyridones useful as antiinflammatories.
The chemistry used to produce the compounds of this
invention is new. It involves what may be called the aeid catalyzed
dehydrative dimerization of acetoacetarnides. Acid catalyzed reac-
tions o acetoacetan~ides have been described previously in the
literature but under the conditions used have aIways led to products
derived from internal cyclization of the acetoacetamide molecule i.e.
carbostyrils, 4-pyranones or 4-hydroxyquinaldines (I,. Knorr,
Chem. Ber. 16, 2593 (1883); i}~id 17, ~40 ~1884~; ibid 17, 2870

lsraelst~ J. Org. Chem 29, 3548 (i964); ~bid 29, 3555 (1964))).
The conditions u~ed in this invention lead not to the above products
but to 4 or 2-pyridones which are derived from two molecules of the
acetoacetamide. Thus, for example, acetoacetanilide in benzene with
a trace of PTSA (para-toluene sulfonic acid) and azeotropic removal
of water ~ives a 4-pyridone. ~ ~

In general, the dehydrative dimerizations reactions used
to prepare the: compounds disclosed herein were carried out by
dissolving or suspending the approprlate acetoacetamide in benzene,

or more preferably in toluene, containing from a trace (i.e., about
0.5% by weight based on the weight of reactant) to one equivalent
of paratoluene-sulfonic acid mono-hydrate (PTSA . H2O) and then
heating the mixture to the boiling (i . e ., about 80C for benzene
and about 110~C for toluene) at atmosphere pressure. The appara~
tus was fitted with a Dean-Stark trap so that water ~ormed in the
reaction could be continuously removed. With aromatic acetoaceta-
mides traces (i.e., about 0.5 to 2% by weight based on the weight
of reactant) of PTSA.H2O were used since the use of a full equiva-
lent often leads to production of the corresponding carbostyril
rather than the desired 4-pyridone. On the other hand, Eor alkyl
or cycloalkyl-substituted acetoacetamides where the carbostyril
cannot form, it is often advantageous (but not necessary) to use
one equivalent of PTSA . H2O . In such cases this often speeds the
reaction and/or gives a purer product. l~eaction times for the
dehydrative dimerization reactions range from 3 to 48 hours but are
preferably in the 12 to 16 hour range. As would ~e obvious to one
~killed in the art, other inert solvents and other catalysts (for
example, other sulfonic acids or sulfuric acid) would be suitahle for
use in the dehydrative dimerization reactions.
Preparations of 4-pyridones by the alterna te synthesis
described above were carried out by dissolvmg or suspending the
appropriate beta-(aminosubstituted)-crotonanilide (made from the
corresponding acetoacetam~de and the desired amine) in toluene and
adding one equivalent of diketene (50% in acetone~ dropwise. The
mixture was refluxed for about 4 hours and the HC1 salt of the
4~pyridone was then isolated by adding 10% HC1 to the reaction
mix~ure and removing the precipitated salt by filtration. The salt
could then be converted to the free base by trea~nent with 10%
;aqueous NaOH.

In addition to the method of the preceding para-
graph, the HCI salts of the 2- and 4-pyridones disclosed herein
were prepared by several methods. One method involved suspend-
ing the isolated pyridone in 10% aqueous HCl solution, stirring for
5 about 15 minutes, and then removing the water insolu~le salt ~y
filtration. Another method involved dissolving the pyridone in a
solvent such as toluene or chloroform and then treating the solution
~vith 10% aqueous HCl. The use of such a "co-solvent" often aids
greatly in obtaining a pure product. A third method involved
10 dissolving the free base in a solvent and bubbling a dry gaseous
HCI. All the salts are to some degree unstable when heated above
about 100C and revert to the corresponding free ~ase. Thus when
pyridinecar~oxamide, N, 1-dicyclohexyl-1, 6-dihydro-2,4-dimethyl-
6-oxo, hydrochloride salt was heated at 110C for 4 hours it was
15 about 90% converted to the free base. This property of the salts is
reflected in the melting points reported herein. The melting range
was often wide and was found to depend upon the rate of heating.
Usually E~Cl gas could be detected at temperatures above 100C.
Often the final solid melted at about the same temperature as the
20 free base indicating that conversion had largely occurred during
the heating period.
The structures of the various pyridones were deduced
from their infrared and nuclear magnetic resonance (n.m.r. )
spectra and an elemental analysis. The n.m.r. spectra are parti-
25 cularly useful in distinguishing the 4-pyridones from the 2-pyri-
dones in that the hydrogen on nitrogen in the former is hydrogen
bonded and hence absorbs at typically 12 to 13 ppm (parts per
million) whereas the equivalent non-hydrogen bonded N-H oE the
2-pyridones absorbs typically from 9.0 to 10.0 ppm. In order to

TABLE IV lists the 4- and 2-pyr;idones which showed
inhibition of edema in the primary carrageenan assay.
The procedure used for measuring the inhibition of carra-
geenan induced edema was a modification of the method OI Winter,
et al ., Proc . Soc . Exptl. Biol . Med . 111 : 544 ~1962) . The device
used for measurement of the paw volume was an adaptation of the
water displacement procedure described by Adamkiewicz, et al.,
Can. J. Biochem. Physiol. 33: 332 (1955). The present compounds
were studied for their effectiveness in preventing the edema caused
by the intraplantar injection of 0.05 ml of a sterile 1.0% solution of
carrageenan. The present compounds were administered orally one
hour prior to the injection of the carrageenan into the left hind paw
of rats. At peak swelling time (3 hours) the volume of edema was
calculated by differential paw volume.
We have found that many of the compounds produced
significant inhibition of induced edema in rats at a dose rate of 200
mg/kg and ~hese are listed in TABLE IV, Column 2.
Compounds showing greater than 25% reduction of edema
in the initial assay were selected for further study to determine the
ED50 in edema reduction. In this test, a group of normal rats was
in~ected with carrageenan to induce edema. Then the rats were
treated with varying amounts of the above-described compounds,
and the ED50 was determined.
~5 The procedure used for measuring the inhibition of carra-
geenan-induced edema was the above-described modification of ~he
method of Winter, et al., and the device used fvr measurement of
the paw volume was the above-described adaptation of the water
displacement procedure described by Adamlciewicz, et al. The
above compounds were studied for their effec~iveness in preventing

the edema caused by the intraplantar injection of 0.05 ml of a
sterile 1.0% solution of carrageenan. Compouncls were administered
orally one hour prior to the injection of the carrageenan into the
left hind paw of rats. At peak swelling time ~3 hours) the volume
of edema was calculated by diEferential paw volumes. The ED50
value was obtained for each compound and is defined as that dose
which reduced edema formation by 25% or more compared with the
mean control response (parallel run) in 50% of the animals. The
results of this test are given in T~BLE IV, Column 3.
Compounds which gave satisfactory ED50 in the carra-
geenan assay were reevaluated in the adrenalectomized rat assay
(TABLE IV, C:olumn 4). The method used was identical to that
described above, except that the animals used were adrenalecto-
mized several days prior to assay. Since the results in the non-
adrenalectomized animals were similar to those obtained in the
adrenalectomized animals, it can be inferred that the antiinflam-
matory activity of the test compounds was not caused by the release
of endogenous adrenocortical steroids.
A study of TABLE IV shows that compounds listed therein
are not adrenal whips and that the antiinflan~natory activity exhi-
bited by them in the adrenalectomized rat is genuine and therefore
they are compounds with considerable activity.
TABLE IV also shows which compounds demonstrated
central nervous system activit~v in a Neuropharmacological Profile
~NPP), which is a well established pharmacological method.
The adjuvant-induced arthritis test was conducted in rats
using the most active compound. This test requires one month
(from 0 to day 31). In ~he first seventeen days (0 - 17), the
di3ease is in a developing stage, while for t]he rernainder of the
month (18 - 31) the disease is fully developed. The results of this
test, given in terms of percen-t reduction of swelling in t]he hind

paw of the rat are shown in TABLE V and compared to phenylbuta-
zone at 100 mg/kg.
The method used in the adjuvant-induced arthritis test
was essentially that of Newbould, Brit. J. Pharmacol. 21: 127,
5 1973. The test compound was studied in the developing arthritic
state and in the established arthritic state. Separate groups of
thirteen rats were administered the compound orally using methyl-
cellulose as the vehicle. In the study on the developing disease,
administration of the test compound began on day 1 and on day 2
10 each animal was injected with 0. 5 ml/kg of a 0 . 5% suspension of
heat-killed Mycobacterium tuherculosis into the plantar surface of
the leEt paw. Foot volumes were measured by a water displacement
device on the day of administration of the Mycobacterium and again
on days 3, 10 and 17. The test compound was administered once
15 daily. Body weights were recorded daily and the ~animals were
examined for the spread of the inflammation and the dëgree of
secondary lesions observed and scored as "m~ld, moderate, or
severe". For study in the established disease, another group of
rats was injected with the Mycobac~erium and foot volumes were
20 measured and after twenty days were again measured and aclmini-
stration of the test compounds began and continued for eleven
days. Foot volume measurements were repeated on day 27 and day
31. The extent of the spread of the inflammation and the degree of :
lesions were recorded daily as were the body weights. The e~fect
25 OI the test compound was measured by the percentage reduction in
lef~ hind paw volumes as compared to the hind paw volumes oI the
control groups.
Probably the most interesting data was ob-tained in the
adjuvant arthritis assay on compound 4. This compound was tested
at 2.5" 5 and 10 mg/kg. In the developing assay there was a
dose-related response in that 5 mg/kg was more effective than at
i
-37-

2.5 or 10 mg/kg. On day 10 of the assay at 5 mg/kg there was a
23% inhibition in the primary lesion. This is about equivalent to
what one would see with aspirin at 300 mg/kg. In the developed
assay, the 2 . 5 mg/kg dose was almost inactive, whereas at the 5
mg/kg dose there was a significant reversal of the arthritic state.
There was also a diminution in the numbers and extent of secondary
lesions in the animals. It would appear that the 5 mg/kg dose is
the lowest effective dose.
