1960's but the structure thereof was confirmed in 1970
(~ndocrinology, 36, 1143(1970)). ~RH is said to be a
hormone controlling the release of thyrotro2in (TSH) in
the hypophysis of a mammal. However, by the investi-
gation made after then, it has been clarified that the
biological function of the tripeptide TRH is not
limited to the control of the release of TS~ but TRH
widely acts to a central nervous system ~C~S), and
a field of new investigations has been developed based
on the discovery (Science, 178, 417(1972) and Lancet,
2, 999(1972~. Thus, it is known that TRH and the
derivatives thereof have actions to CNS, such 2S the
decrease ~f the continuation ~ime of sleep caused by
barbitu-ates or alcohol, the control of hypothermia by
the stimulus of various medicaments, the acceleration

of motor activity, the prevention of haloperidol-
memory enhancing effect,
induced catalepsy,/the lmprovemen. o~ anti-psychtic
effect, an anti-depressive e~feot, etc., in addition
to the TR~ releasing activity ~U. S. Pate~t Nos.
3,865,934 and 3,932,623). Furth~rmore, it has been
discovered that TR-H is l7seful for improving o~
treating functional or organic disturbances in the
brain, for example, a distur~ance of consciousness
caused by head injury, brain surgery, cerebro-vascular
disorders, brain tumors, etc., in pa~ticular, a~ acute
or semiacute disturbance o~ consciousness (Belgian
Patent No. 839,&33).

TSH releasing activity and having actions to CNS same
as or higher than the foregoing actions of TRH has been
demandea. ~hus, various TRH derivatives were synthe-
sized for the foregoing purpose and the ac~ions to CNS
have been further enlarged. As the compou~ds synthe-
sized for the purpose, there are known a TRH derivative
which has a weaker TSH releasing activit~- than TRH, has
a narcoticantagonizing action, an a-tion of increasing
spontaneous activity, or a dopamine-like action, and is
said to be useful for the improvement or the treatment
of sonifacients poisoning, disturbance of conscious-
ness, hyperactivity child, schizophernia, nervous
depression, and Pa~kinson's disease (Japanese PatPnt
Publication (unexamined) NoO 116,465/'7/) and a TRH
derivative which has ac~ion of improving and trea,ing
the disturbance of consciousness afte- an e~ternal
injury of .he head and an action of decre2sing the
continuation tlme Oc sleep by hexoba~bital, anc is said
to be use ul for the treatment for 2 ?atient h~ving
a disturbance of consciousness caused by the organic
or functional distu-bances in the brzin, the treatment
for a patient showing s~nility or me~tPl fatigue, and
the treatment for depression state (Japanese Patent
Publica.ion (unexamined) ~o. 59,71~/'81).
The compound of this invention h2s the structural
feature in the point that _he pyrGglutamyl (pGlu)

structu al r.oie~y cf TRH is conver.ed into an
a2etidinone structure (~-lactum struct~re) which has
never been employed. As to the me~icinal action, the




' ' '.'' - . ' - , ' ,

. . .





compound of this invention has a more remarkably
s,ron~ C~S actions .han TRH and conven.ionally known
IRH derivatives and hence is very useful as medicaments.
For example, the compound of 'his invention is useful
for im2roving a disturbance of consciousness in
schizophrenia, nervous depression, the sequels of
cerebro-vascular disorders, a head injury, senile
dementia, epilepsy, etc., or improving hypobulia,
depressive syndrome, memory loss, etc.
The compound o~ this invention shown by general
formula (I) can be orally or parenterally administered
2S it is or as a mix~ure with proper phamacologically
allowable ca-rier, excipient, diluent, etc., in the
fo-m of powders, granules, tablets, capsules,
injec_ions (intr~venous, subcutaneous, cr intramuscular
injections), or supposito-ies. The dose of the
com?ound cf this invention shown by formula (I) differs
2-coId~ng to the k~d of the compound of formula (I),
the age, weight, and symptom of a patient, the manner
OL administration, etc., but is abou. 0.001 to lC ms,
preferably 0.01 to C.l mg (one dose) in the case o,
injection and 0.05 to 500 mg, preferably 0.1 to 10 mg
(one dose) in the case of oral administratior..
The Iollowins experiments show the action to a
low body .emperature by pen~_obarbitol (Exper~ment 1),
the action to the disturbance o~ consciousness by a

head injury (Experiment 2), and the action to acute
toxicity (~xperime~t 3) about typical compounds in
the compounds of thfs inven_ion shown by formula (I).

Nine male mice weighing 18 to 22 g were used for
each dosage of the test compounds. Mice were given
i. v. various doses of TRH or tested compounds 10 min.
after pentobarbital (55 mg/kg i.p.). Rectal tempera-
ture was measured before pentobarbital dosing and
immediately before and 30 min. after the test compounds.
~ffects of test compounds were eva,uated as ~Dl 5C~
the dose required to reduce by 1.5C pentobarbital-
hypothermia o' control group of mice which received
only pentobarbital and saline. The results are shown
in Ta~le 1.
Experime~t 2.
Distu-bance of consciousness inauced by concussive
head injury:
Nine male mice weishing 18 to 22 g were used for
each dosage of the test compounds. P.n ac-ylate
weight containing lead ( 0.~ g, 19 mm in both diameter
and thickness) was dropped to the head of mice from a
18 cm height. Mice were induced loss of consciousness
and they remaineà motionless for some period. The time
from the shock up to the onset of spont2neous movement
W2S recorded as the spontaneous movement time. Test
compounds were administered intravenously 10 min.
~efore adding concussive head inju-y and e fects of
test compounds were evalua_ed as D;o%, the dose
reauired to shorten by 50% the spontaneous movement
time of control group. The ~esults are snown in Table 1.

That is, according to the process of thls inven-
tion, the desired compound of formula (I) can be
produced
(a) by reacting the compound of formula (II) and
the compound of formula (III) to form the compound of
formula lIV) and then reacting the compound of formula
(IV) and the compound of fo-mula (V) or
(b) by reacting the compound of fo_mula (III) and
compo~nd o. formula (~r ) to form the compound of

forming reaction in each step, the functional gro~lps of
the raw material compound, such as an amino group, an
imino group, a carboxy group, etc., which do not take
part in the reaction, are usually protected and an amino
g oup, an imino group, or a carboxy group of the
compound, which takes part in the reactio~, is, if
necessary, activated. The compound of which the amino
group, the imino group or the carbo~y group is
activated, for example, the active ester may be
subjected to the peptide synthesis reaction after
once isolated from the reaction mix~ure or may be
subjected to the peptide synthesis reaction without
being isolated.
Examples of the protec'ive group for the amino
sroup 2re a benzyloxyca-bonyl g oup, a t-butyloxyca-bo-
p-methoxybenz~-lc)xyc2Tt)c)nyl ~DUp,
nyl group,/a phthaloyl sroup, a trifluoroacetyl group,
etc., and examples OI the protective group for the
imino group are a tosyl g-ou?, a benzyloxycarbonyl
group, a p-methoxy`oenzyloxycarbonyl group, a benzyl
group, a 2,4-dinitrophenyl yroup, etc. Also, the
protec-.ive group fo- the carboxy group-is used as the
form o' an ester such as a methyl ester, an ethyl ester,
a benzyl ester, a p-nirtobenzyl ester, a t-butyl ester,
etc.
The activation o~ the group which takes part in
the reaction is performed by a phosphazo process using
phosphorus trichloride, an isocv~nate p-ocess using
phosgene, or a phosphorous acid ester process when the
group is an amino sroup o- an imino group or is

performed in the form of an active ester ~e. g., 2,4-
dinitrophenol ester, N-hydroxysucc nimide ester, etc.,),
an azide group, or a carboxylic anhydride when the
group is a carboxy group.
Among the foregoing methods Or pe-forming the
peptide synthesis reaction, it is prefered to perform
Teactions
the coupling/ of the compound of formula (IV) and the
compound of formula (V) by the azide method or the
method of using dicyclohexyl carbodiimide as the
condensing agent. Also, a method of dirctly forming
peptide using the N-carboxy anhydride of aminoacid
without using a protective group may be employed.
Then, the peptide forming reaction is performed in
an inert solvent at room temperature o~ by hea~ing by
an ordinary manner. Examples o~ the suitable solvent
used in the reaction are dimethylfo-mamide (DMF),
ethyl acetate, dichloromethane (methvlene chlo_ide),
r e~rahvd~ofur2n, etc.
If it is necessary to remove 2 ?rotecti~e grou?
from the reaction pr~duct, the protective group cah be
r2moved by a catalytic reduction when the protective

group is benzyi ester; by using anhvdrous hvdrogen
N-hydroxy- 1, 2, 3, -ber.zotTia z ole
fluoride ~.~OBT),or a hydrogen fluo_ide-pyridine
complex when the protective group is p-toluenesulfonyl
group; by hydrolysis when the protective group is an
alkyl este-; by a catalytic -eductio~ o~ a hydrobromic
acid-acetic acid treatment wnen the ?rotective group is
p-methoxybenzyloxycarbonyl; or an acid decomposition
when the protective group is a t-butyloxyczrbonyl group.
