TITLE
PYRIDINECARBOXYLIC ACID AMIDE DERIVATIVES AND
PHARMACEUTICAL COMPOSITIONS COMPRISING SAME
FIELD OF THE INVENTION
The present invention relates to new
pyridinecarboxylic acid amide derivatives, a process for
preparing the same and pharmaceutical compositions
comprising said derivatives.
The pyridinecarboxylic acid amide derivatives and
their physiologically acceptable salts of the invention
possess an activity of increasing blood flow of vertebral,
common carotid and femoral arteries and a hypotensive
activity, which are effective in the therapy and prevention
of disturbances of cerebral or peripheral circulation,
ischemic heart diseases and hypertensions.
BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION
Nicotinic acid amide derivatives useful as a
therapeutic agent for cardiovascular diseases are disclosed
in Japanese Pa.ent Kokai No. 62-286968. Nitrate ester
derivatives useful as vasodilator are also disclosed in
Japanese Patent Kokai No. 62-205052. However, they are not
satisfactory in efficacy as therapeutic agent for
cardiovascular diseases. Thus there is a continuing need
for new compounds with more inproved pharmacological

2 ~
activities than known nicotinic acid amide derlvatives.
The present invention results from efforts to
develop new compounds possessing a high pharmacological
activity, being readily available on an industrial scale and
being satisfactory in practical use.

The compounds of the invention can be prepared by
reacting a compound of formula (II)
Rl-N\ / N-(CH2)m ~ C~2R3 (II)
(CH2)Q N
wherein R1, Q and m are as defined above and R3 is hydrogen
or Cl-C6 alkyl, with an amino compound of formula (III)
NH2-(CH2)n 2 (III)
wherein R2 and n are as defined above and optionally
subjecting the resulting reaction product where R2 is OH to
esterification with nitric acid to give a compound of
formula (I)
(CH2)Q ~ COY (I)

2 ~
wherein R1, Y, R and m are as defined above, or if
necessary, converting the compound thus obtained to a
physiologically acceptable acid addition salt.
Alternatively, the compounds of formula (I)
wherein Y is -NH(CH2)n-R2 (R2 is OH or -ON02 and n is 5-8)
and Y is -N 3 R2 (R2 is OH or -ON02) can be prepared by
reacting a compound of formula (IV)
X- ( CH2 )m\~cox
~ ~ (IV)
wherein X is halogen and m is O or 1 with a compound of the
formula NH2(CH2)nOH (n is 5-8) or HN 3 0H in an organic
solvent to form a compound of the formula
X- ( CH2 )m~CONH( CH2 )nOH
or
X-.(CH2)m ~ 3
wherein X, m and n are as defined above and further
condensing said compound with a compound of the formula

~ 3
Rl-N NH wherein Rl is as defined above in the presence of
an acid-binding agent to give a compound of formula (I)
wherein Y is -NH(CH2)n-OH or -N ~ OH, or esterifying the
resulting compound to form a compound of formula (I) wherein
Y is -NH(CH2)n-ONO2 or -N ~ ONO2.
In case of using a compound of formula (II)
wherein R3 is Cl-C6 alkyl, the reaction between a compound
of formula (II) and a compound of formula (III) is effected
using an excess amount of the compound of formula (III) with
or without an organic solvent in the presence or absence of
a catalyst such as 2-hydroxypyridine. The reaction is
accomplished by stirring at a temperature between ordinary
temperature and 150~C for a period in the range from several
tens minutes to several tens hours. Purification and
isolation of the desired compounds are carried out by a
conventional method. Thus a purified condensation product
is obtained by extracting the reaction product with an
organic solvent such as diethyl ether, ethyl acetate or
dichloromethane, distilling off the extraction solvent from
the extract and subjecting the residue to recrystallization
or chromatography.
In cases where R2 in the condensation product
obtained is OH, a compound of formula (I) wherein R2 is ONO2
can be produced by dissolving or suspending said
condensation product in an organic solvent, adding fuming
nitric acid or a mixture of fuming nitric acid and acetic

2 ~ t'.~
-- 8
anhydride to the solution or suspension under ice-cooling
and stirring the resulting mixture for 1-4 hours to form a
nitrate ester.
In case of using a compound of formula (II)
wherein R3 is hydrogen, the compound (II) and an amino
alcohol or its nitrate ester of formula (III) are subjected
to condensation reaction in an organic solvent in the
presence or absence of an appropriate amidating agent to
form a compound of formula (I).
The reaction solvents used in these reactions
include an aliphatic hydrocarbon such as n-hexane or
petroleum ether; an aromatic hydrocarbon such as benzene,
toluene or xylene; an alicyclic compound such as
cyclohexane; a halogenated hydrocarbon such as carbon
tetrachloride, chloroform, dichloroethane or
trichloroethane; an aliphatic ketone such as acetone or
methyl ethyl ketone; acetonitrile; N,N-dimethylformamide;
dimethylsulfoxide or the like. Purification and isolation
of the desired compounds are also carried out by a
conventional method. Thus, a purified desired condensation
product is obtained by distilling off the solvent after
completion of the reaction, pouring the residue into an
aqueous solution of sodium hydrogen carbonate, extracting
the resulting mass with an organic solvent such as dlethyl
ether, ethyl acetate or dichloromethane, distilling off the
extraction solvent from the extract and subjecting the

residue to recrystallization or chromatography.
The compounds of formula (I) thus produced can be
converted to acid addition salts thereof by a conventional
method. The acid addition salts include acid addition salts
of the compounds with an inorganic acid such as
hydrochloric, sulfuric, phosphoric, hydrobromic or nitric
acids, and acid addition salts of the compounds with an
organic acid such as acetic, propionic, succinic, butyric,
malic, citric, fumaric or tartaric acids.
The compound of formula ~II) can be produced by
condensing a compound of formula (V)
X~(CH2)m ~ ~C~2R3 (V)
wherein X is halogen and R3 is hydrogen or C1-C6 alkyl with
a compound of formula (VI)
/~
R1-N\ NH (VI)
(CH2)Q
wherein Rl is hydrogen, C1-C6 alkyl, C3-C6 cycloalkyl or
diphenylmethyl and Q is 2 or 3 in the presence of an acid-
binding agent. In cases where Rl in a compound obtained by
the condensation reaction is hydrogen, if necessary, the
compound and a compound of the formula R'l-X wherein R'l is
Cl-C6 alkyl and X is halogen may be reacted in an organic

-- 10 -
solvent in the presence of an acid-binding agent to give a
compound of formula (II) wherein R1 is Cl-C6 alkyl. A
compound of formula (II) wherein Rl is hydrogen can be
converted to a compound of formula (II) wherein R1 is methyl
by reaction with a mixture of formaldehyde and formic acid.
The reaction can be accomplished under the reaction
conditions described in Organic Synthesis Vol. 3, pages 723-
725.
As clearly seen from the results of a
pharmacological test shown below, the compounds of formula
(I) of the invention exhibit marked blood flow-increasing
and hypotensive actions in warm-blooded animals and can be
used for the therapy or prevention of diseases in the
cardiovascular system. Diseases in the cardiovascular
system include disturbances of cerebral or peripheral
circulation, ischemic heart diseases and hypertensions.
Thus, the invention further relates to
pharmaceutical compositions for use in the therapy or
prevention of the above-mentioned diseases, which comprise
as an active ingredient a compound of formula (I) or a
physiologically acceptable acid addition salt thereof.
The pharmaceutical compositions of the invention
can orally or parenterally be administered in the suitable
dosage forms. They can be administered alone, but are
generally administered with a pharmaceutical carrier
selected on the basis of the chosen route of administration

and standard pharmaceutical practice. The dosage forms
include tablets, capsules, suppositories, troches, syrups,
creams, ointments, pasters, cataplasms, granules, powders,
injections, suspensions and the like. Bi- or multi-layered
tablets can also be prepared in combination Witl.l other
drugs. Furthermore, tablets with conventional coating
applied, for example, sugar-coated tablets, tablets with
enteric coating or film-coated tablets can also be prepared.
In forming solid dosage forms there can be used
additives such as lactose, white sugar, crystalline
cellulose, corn starch, calcium phosphate, sorbitol,
glycine, carboxymethyl cellulose, gum arabic,
polyvinylpyrrolidone, hydroxypropyl cellulose, glycerin,
polyethylene glycol, stearic acid, magnesium stearate and
talc.
In forming semi-solid dosage forms, vegetable or
synthetic waxes or fats and the like are used.
In forming liquid dosage forms, there can be
employed additives such as an aqueous sodium chloride
solution, sorbitol, glycerin, olive oil, almond oil,
propylene glycol and ethyl alcohol.
The content of the active ingredient in the above
dosage forms is in the range between 0.1 and 100% by weight,
suitably between 1 and 50% by weight for oral administration
and between 0.1 and 10% by weight for injection.
The dosage administered will, of course, vary

- 12 -
depending upon the mode and route of administration, age,
sex and weight of the patient, nature and extent of symptoms
and the like. Usually a daily dosage of active ingredient
can be about 1 to 1000 mg per kg of body weight~

Blood flow-increasing and hypotensive actions were
evaluated for the representative compounds of the invention
by the method as described below.
(Experimental method)
-- Blood flow was measured unbloodily by means of an
electromagnetic blood flow meter for right vertebral artery,
right common carotid artery and left femoral artery of the
pentobarbital-anesthesized dog. Mean blood pressure was
measured from a cannula in a femoral artery with a blood
pressure transducer. The test compound was solved in saline
and was intravenously administered at a dose of 1 mg/kg.
Results of the test were expressed in terms of the
percentage of post-administration change from the value
prior to administration of a test compound.
Results of the measurement are shown in Table 2
below.
