TITLE OF THE INVENTION
DIAMINO ISOTHIAZOLE -l~OXIDES AND ~ DI~XIDES AS
GASTRIC SECRETION INHIBITORS

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION

Inhibitors of qastric aci~ secretion
functioning by antagonism of the histamine H2-
receptor are effective antiulcer agent~
Structurally, such compounds are tYpically viewe~ as
molecules having three substituents or fragments;
i.e., A-B-C, each of which can independentlv affect
the antisecretory activity. The "A" portion may be a
substituted or unsubstituted aromatic or hetero-
aromatic group such as are disclosed in, for exam~le,
U.S. Patent 3,950,333 to Durant et. al., U.S. Patent
4,128,658 to Price et. al., and Belgian Patents
867,106 and 875,846 (Derwent Abstracts 84065A/47 and
79110B/44, respectively).
The central, or "B" Portion, mav he a
connecting chain joined to A such as A-CH2SCH2CH2-,
AOCH2CH2CH2, and the like.


- 2 16588IA

The remaininq terminal substituent "C" is
structurally distinct from either the A or B portions
and may be, for example, a substituted quanidine, a
substituted 1,1-diamino e~hylene, or a 3,5-diamino-
l-alkyl triazole as disclosed in the aforementione~
U.S. Patents to Durant et. al., and Price et. ~1., a~
well as in Belgian Patent 875,846.
The present invention is directed to uni~ue
"C" moieties which confer antisecretorv activity when
combined with the A-R moleclllar fraqments comprisinq
these antiulcer aqents. These novel "C" moietiPs,
i.e., 3,4-diaminoisothiazole-1-oxides and
-1,1-dioxides, when incorporated into the A-B
molecular fragments, afford compounds that exhibit
gastric antisecretory activitv comparahle to or
greater than known prior art compounds, includin~
those disclosed in the above-identified U.S., Belgian
and European patents. The disclosure of
4-isothiazolin-3-one-1-oxides and -l,l-dioxides in
U.S. Patent 4,062,859 does not teacl~ or sugqe~st how
to synthesize the novel compounds of this invention
as no appropriate precursors nor amine displacement
reactions are disclosed.

SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION
This inventi~n is directed to diamino
isothiazole -1-oxides and l,1-dioxides and related
compounds as well as ~rocesses for the pre~arati~n of
such compounds.

The compounds according to the invention
readilv form physiologically acceptable salts. Such
salts include salts with inorganic acids such as
hydrochlorides, hydrobromides, sulfates, nitrates and
phosphates. Particularly useful salts of organic
acids are formed with aliphatic mono- or dicarboxylic
or sulfonic acidsO Examples of such salts are
acetates, maleates, fumarates, tartrates, citrates,
benzoates, succinates, methane sulfonates, and
isethionates. The compounds and their salts may also
form hydrates and solvates. In addition, the
nitrogen atoms in groups R, ~ , R3 and R4 mav
also form quaternary salts and N-oxides. Such
derivatives are also deemed to be included in the
compounds of the present invention.
It will also be appreciated by th~se skilled
in the art that the compounds of this invention will
have a tautomeric isomerism about the nitrogen and
ring carbon atoms of the isothiazole rinq; i.e., the
exo-imino structure may exist at one or both of the
~-atoms attacned at the 3- and 4- positions of the
isothiazole ring as shown below:

All of the various tautomeric structures of
the instant compo~nds are intended to be included in
this invention. In addition, when R is quanidino,
three tautomers are possible as determined in the
art, and all such tautomers are included in this
invention.
In addition, there exists the possihility of
stereoisomerism in the instant compounds when p=l.
These stereoisomers correspond to an R or S absolute
configuration at the sulfur atom of the isothiazole
ring. It is intended that all such stereoisomers are
included within the instant invention.
As stated above, the compounds of this
invention have been found to have pharmacoloqical
activity in the animal body as antagonists to certain
actions of histamine which are not blocked by
"antihistamines" such as mepyramine. For example,
they have been found to inhibit selectively the
histamine-stimulated secretion of gastric aciA in the
stomach of chronic fistula dogs at doses of from D.nl
to 10 mg per kilogram intravenously or orally from
0.01 to 50 mg per kilogramO Similarly, the action of
these compounds is de nstrated by their antagonism
to the effects of histamine on other tissues which
are not affected by histamine Hl antagonists. An
example of such tissue is the isolated guinea-pig
right atrium.

- 18 - 16588IA

These compounds have heen found to be up to
lO0 times more active in animal models than
cimetidine.
The pharmaceutical carrier employed may be,
for example, either a solid or liquid. Exemplary of
solid carriers are lactose, terra alba, sucrose,
talc, gelatin, agar, pectin, acacia, magnesium
stearate, stearic acid and the like. Exemplary of
liquid carriers are syrup, peanut oil, olive oil,
water and the like.
A wide variety of pharmaceutical forms can
be employed. Thus, if a solid carrier is used, the
preparation can be tableted, placed in a hard qelatin
capsule in powder or pellet form, or in the form of a
troche or lozenge. The amount of solid carrier will
vary widely but preferably will be from about 15 mg
to about 0.4 gm. If a liquid carrier is used, the
preparation may be in the form of a svrup, emulsion,
soft gelatin capsule, sterile injectable liquid such
as an ampoule, or an aqueous or nonaqueous liquid
suspension.
The pharmaceutical compositions are prepared
by conventional techniques involving procedures such
as mixing, granulating and compressinq or dissolvinq
the ingredients as appropriate to obtain the desired
preparation.
The active ingredient w;ll be present in the
composition in an amount effective to inhibit
histamine gastric acid secretory activity. The route
of administration may be orally or parenterally.
Preferably, each ~aily dosage will contain
the active ingredient in an amount of from about 5 mg
to about 500 mg, most preferably from about 15 mg to


- 19 - 1658~IA

about 150 mg given in a single dose or multiple
divided doses.
For therapeutic use, the pharmacologically
active compounds of the present invention will
normally be administered as a pharmaceutical
composition comPrising at least one such com~ound a~
the sole or an essential active ingredient in the
basic form or in the form of an addition salt with a
pharmaceutically acceptable acid and in association
with a pharmaceutical carrier therefor. Such
addition salts include those mentioned ahove.
Other pharmacologically active compounds
may, in certain cases, be included in the comp~si-
tion. It may be appropriate to combine the instant
compound or compounds with anticholinergic agents
such as propantheline; Hl antihistamines such as
mepyramine, pyribenzamine chlorpheniramine and the
like; or prostanoids.
Advantageously the composition will be made
up in a dosage unit form appropriate to the desired
mode of administration such as, for exa~ple, a
tablet, capsule or injectable solution.
The compounds of this invention are
synthesized by sequential reaction of the amines
R ~Rl and R ~ (CH2)n X (CH2)mNHRl with
R4
either an isothiazole-l-oxide or l,l-dioxide each
substituted with an appropriate leaving group (Y, Z)
in the 3- and 4-positions. (In intermediates II, Y
and 7 may be lower alkoxy, aryloxy, loweralkylthio,
loweralkylsulfonyl, arylthio, arylsulfonyl, halo (F,
Cl, Br, I), di-loweralkylamino and cyclicamino such
as piperidino, morpholino, and the like.) It will be
noted in the Reaction Schemes outlined below that


- 20 - 16588IA

position isomers Ia and Ib can be obtained from these
reactions. The isomer Ia or Ib which results depends
on several factors. These inclufle the order of
addition of the amine reagents mentioned above, the
relative reactivity of the leaving groups (Y, Z) at
positons -3 and -4, respectively, and the electro-
negativity of the substituent at the 5-position
(R ). The synthethic strategies outlined helow
demonstrate preparation of specific examples of Ia
and Ib compounds by constructive utilization of the
aforementioned considerations.
When R2 is an electroneqative suhstitutent
such as carboxy, carboalkoxy, cyano, carbamoyl,
substituted carbamovl, sulfamoyl, subslituted
sulfamoyl, alkanoyl, aroyl, and the like, compounds
Ia and Ib are synthesized by addition ~f the amines
III and IV to the isothiazoles of formula II as in
Reaction Scheme I. When Y, Z are indeDendently ~1,
Br, loweralkoxy, or aryloxy and R2=CO2R or
SO2R9, the amine III or IV preferentially
displaces Z. When R =CN, aryl or CONR R
amines III or IV selectively displace Y. In the case
where R2=CONH2 or SO2NH2, mixtures of
intermedi-
ates V and VI can be obtained and separated hymethods known in the art, such as column chromato-
graphy on silica gel or aluminum oxide. In Reaction
Scheme I, Rl is hydrogPn or trimethylsilyl and R9
R , R , ~ , X, m and n are as previously
defined.
The isothiazole intermediate II wherein p=2
is synthesized according to Reaction Schemes II-VI.
The isothiazole intermediate II (Reaction
Scheme III) wherein p=l and, for example,



- 21 - 16588IA

R2=CO2R9, is synthesized by oxidation of the
precursor XIV with one mole of alkyl, haloalkyl, or
arylpercarboxylic acid (R' = CH3, CF3,
m-chlorophenyl), dinitrogen tetroxide or chromic
anhydride. Also, as outlined in Reaction ,Scheme IV,
XXI is similarly converted to XXII and thence to
XXIII.
In R~action Scheme ITI, i~ can he seen tha~
the leaving group Z can be introduced bv electrophilic
suhstitution of isothiazoles XVI hy reaction with a
suitab'e electrophile such as Y-Z (e.q. Br2)
Some intPrmediates in Reaction Schemes I-III
such as IIa, IIb, IIc, V, VI, IX, X, XI, XTI, XTII
and XIV are unknown in the art and are thus ~referre~
intermediat~s an~ compounds of the instant
inventi~n. In particular, interme~iates VIa an~ ~TIb
(Reaction Scheme I) also possess the desired ~astric
antisecret~ry activitv and are thus ~otentiallv
useful in the treatment of gasti~ hypersecretorv
diseases such as peptic ulcers.

In Reaction Scheme I, wherein Y, Z of II are
halogen and/or lower alkoxy, preferred compounds Ia
are obtained by reacting II with the amines or
N-trimethylsilyl amines III in inert solvents such as
hydrocarbons or halocarbons, preferablv methylene
chloride, at temperatures of about -30QC to ~60C,
preferably 0-25C and for one to 24 hours. If R' of
III is trimethylsilyl, then the crude products V are
treated with a lower alkanol, preferably ethanol, to
remove trimethylsilyl groups. The compounds V are
then reacted with complex amines or N-trimethylsilyl
derivatives IV in hydrocarbon or halocarbon solvents,
preferably methylene chloride, or in polar aprotic
solvents such as acetonitrile, dimethyl sulfoxide,
N,N-dimethylformamide, and the like, at temperatures
of about OC to the reflux temperature of the solvent
for one to 24 hours to give preferred compounds Ia.
In Reaction Scheme II, intermediates IX can
be formed by reaction of ~-substituted methane-
sulfonamides VIII with oxalic esters, preferablYdiethyl oxalate, in lower alkanol solvents,
preferably ethanol, at temperatures of about 25C to
100C, preferably reflux temperature of the solvent,
in the presence of from 2-2.5 equivalents of metal
lower alkoxide, preferably sodium ethoxide, for 1 to
48 hours, or until precipitation of the desired
dialkali metal salts IX is complete and thin layer
chromatographic analysis shows no unreacted VIII.
Alternatively, oxamate X can be formed by reaction of
the ~-substituted methanesulfonamides VIII with alkyl
oxalyl chloride, preferably ethvloxalyl chloride, at
25 to 150C, preferably 120C, for 1~8 hours,
preferably 2 hours. Intermediates X can bP cvcli~ed

3~


- 26 - 16588IA

to IX in the presence of strong bases such as, for
example, alkali metal alkoxides, preferably sodium
t_ -butoxide, in polar aprotic solvents, preferably
N,N-dimethylformamide, at 0 to 60~C, preferably
25C, for 1 to 2~ hours. The intermediates IX can ~e
reacted with phosphorus halides, such as phosphorus
pentachloride and oxychloride, or reactive acyl
halides, preferably oxalyl chloride, in hydrocarbon
or halocarbon solvent or, in the absence of solvent,
at 60C-150C for 1 to 48 hours. The desired
dichloro intermediates XI are then reacted with
loweralkanols, preferably ethanol (one equivalent),
at -30C to 60C in halocarbon solvents for 30
minutes to 24 hours, preferably one hour, to give
haloalkoxy intermediates IIa. The l~tter can be
further reacted with alkanol, preferably ethanol, in
the presence of bases, such as alkali carbonates and
bicarbonates, pyridine, and loweralkylamines,
preferably triethylamine, in aprotic solvents,
preferably methylene chloride, at -30C to 50C
preferably 0C, to give diloweralkoxy intermediates
IIb. The latter can also be synthesized by reactinq
intermediates IX with two equivalents of silver
nitrate followed by two equivalents of alkylating
agents R8-Y in which Y is preferably OSO20R8,
bromine, iodine and OSO2aryl and substituted aryl,
in polar aprotic solvents such as acetonitrile,
N,N-dialkylcarboxamides, diloweralkvlsulfoxides, and
the like, at temperatures of about 0C to 100C,
preferably 50-80C. By this method, a mixture of
the desired IIb and its N-alkylated isomers are
obtained and this mixture is separated by methods
known to those skilled in the art.

~ 27 - 165~8IA

Compounds XV required in Reaction Sch~me III
are obtained by electrophilic substitution of the
4-unsu~tituted compound.s XVI with reaqent~ YZ,
preferably bromine, in halocarbon or acetic acid
solvent at a temperature of ahout 0 to 50C.
In Reaction Scheme III, his loweralkylthio
intermediates XII are oxidized with hydrogen peroxide
in acetic acid at temperatures of ab~ut 0C to 6noc
to give the bis-sulfones XIII. The latter can be
reacted with lower alkanols in the presence of base,
preferabl~7 sodium ethoxide in ethanol, at 0C to
reflux to give intermediates XIVo The latter are
oxidized to S-oxides IIc wih oxidizinq aaent.s ~uch as
aromatic peroxycarboxylic acids, dinitroqen tetroxide,
alkali metal persulfates, or chromic anhvdride, in
solvents such as halocarbons at 0C to 60C.
Alternatively, XIV may be oxidized to 1,1-dioxides
IIb with two equi~7alents of aromat.ic peroxycarboxylic
acids in halocarbon solvent at 0C to 60C. The same
intermediates (IIb, IIc) can be synthesi.zed bv similar
oxidation of int~rmediates XV foll.owed hv rea^tion
with lower alkanols in the presence of base under
similar conditions to those emploved in the con~7er-
sion of XIII to XIV. In general, the route from XII
is preferred when R2 is an electron withdra~inq
substitutent such as alkoxycarbonyl, carbamoyl,
sulfamoyl, cyano, and the like. When R2 is
hydrogen, loweralkyl, and the like, the route from
XVI is preferred.

Compounds Ia, wherein R3=R =H and p=l or
2, can also be made by addition oE amines IV to
intermediates Va, the latter being prepared accordinq
to Reaction Scheme V~ Tert-butylcvanoacetate is
converted to intermediates XXVIII, XXIX by procedures
identified by K. Gewald and P. Bellmann (Li~hiqs Ann.
Chem. 1979, 1534).
Selective solvolvsis of the tert-hutyl ester
group of XXIX is achieved by dissolving it in
trifluroacetic acid, preferablv at 10 to ~0C. The
re~ulting carboxylic acid function of XXX can then he
reduced to either the carboxaldehyde qroup of XXXII
or the hydroxymethyl qroup of XXXI, either of which
can be subjected to oxidative rearrangements
resultinq in intermeAiates XXXIII (r~=0 or 1). For
examr~le, treatment of the h~v~lroxy methyl comp~und
XXXI with hydrogen peroxide under acidic conditions
at 0 to 60 gives the rearranqed intermediates
XXXIII as a mixture wherein p=0 and p=1. The mixture
is separated by methods known to those skilleA in the
art.
Alternatively, oxidative rrarranq~ment of
the carboxaldehyde XXXII under Baeyer-Villiger
conditions, such as reaction with an eaui~7alPnt of an
aromatic peroxycarboxylic acid in a halocarbon
solvent, preferably methylene chloride, at no t~ ~,
leads to intermediate XXXIII wherein p=0. These
rearrangement ~roducts XXXIII can b~ alkvlated witk
an equivalent of an alkylating agent R -Y, as
described above for Reaction ~ch~me II, in Polar
aprotic solvents at 0 to lOn to form interme~iates
Va (p=0 or 1). The latter can be further oxidized at
sulfur to p=l or 2 with oxidi~inq aqents such as
