Description

5 Quinoxalines, processes for their preparation, and their use

The present invention relates to quinoxalines, to processes for their preparation, and
to their use.
Quinoxalines are a well-known class of compound (O. Hinsberg, J. Liebi~s Ann.
Chem. 237, 327 (1986)).
Quinoxaline derivatives have been described in the patent literature for use in various
applications in medicine.
Austrian Patent 284,848 (19.12.67) mentions 1-N-dialkylaminoalkyl-
3,4-dihydroquinoxalin-2(1H)-ones as spasmolytic agents. A series of patent
applications by the Japanese company Sumitomo Chem. Co. Ltd. describe 4-N-aroyl-,
arylacyl- and arylsulfonyl-3,4-dihydroquinoxalin-2(1H)-ones which have an
antiinflammatory action (JA 17,137t69 (11.4.66), JA 17,136/69 (8.4.66), ~IA 7,008/422
(9.8.66), BE 706,623 (16.11.66)). 3,4-Dihydroquinoxalin-2(1H)-one-3-carboxamides ars
contained in US Patent US 3,654,275 (4.4.72). They, too, have an antiinflamma~ory
action. In US Applications US 4,203,987 (21.5.79) and 4,032,639 (22.3.76), pyridinyl-
alkyltetrahydropyrazino[1,2-a]quinoxalinone derivatives are described by Am0rican
Horne Prod. Corp. as antihypertensive and antisecretory reagents. A European Patent
Application by Pfizer Inc. (EP 266,102 A (30.10.86)) includes 4-N-benzenesulfonyl-
3,4-dihydroquinoxalin-2(1H)-one-1-alkylcarboxylic acids as aldose reductase inhibitors.
However, an antiviral activity has not been demonstrated to date.

Surprisingly, it has now been found that quinoxalines of the formulae I and la

several asymmetric carbon atoms. The invention therefore relates both to the pure
stereoisomers and to mixtures thereof such as, for example, the corresponding
racemate.

alkyl radical to contain in aach oase 1 to 3 carbon atoms.

The abovementioned method A preferably proceeds under the following conditions:

The substituent Z in formula lll is a suitable leaving group such as, for example,
chlorine, bromine or iodine, a suitable radical of sulfuric acid, an aliphatic or aromatic
10 sulfonate, or optionally halogenated acyloxy.

The reaction is expediently carried out in an inert sol\lent. Suitable solvents are, for
example, aromatic hydrocarbons such as toluene or xylene, lower alcohols such asmethanol, ethanol or 1-butanol, ethers such as tetrahydrofuran or glycol dimethyl
15 ether, dipolar aprotic solvents such as N,N-dimethylforrnamide, N-methyl-2-pyrro-
lidone, acetonitrile, nitrobenzene, dimethyl sulfoxide, or mixtures of these solvents.
Two-phase systems with aqueous solutions of bases in the presence of a phase
transfer catalyst such as, for example, benzyltriethylammonium chlorid~, are also
possible.
The presence of a suitable base, for example of an alkali metal carbonate, alkali metal
hydrogen carbonate, alkaline earth mstal carbonate or alkaline earth rnetal hydrogen
carbonate such as sodium carbonate, calcium carbonate or sodium bicarbonate, of an
alkali metal nydroxide or alkaline earth metal hydroxide such as potassium hydroxide
25 or barium hydroxide, an alcoholate such as sodium ethanolate or potassium tert.-
butylate, an organolithium compound such as butyllithiurn or lithiumdiisopropylamine,
an alkali metal hydride or alkaline earth rnetal hydride such as sodium hydride or
calcium hydride, an alkali metal fluoride such as potassium fluoride, or an organic
base such as triethylamine or pyridine for scavenging the acid which is liberated
30 during tne reaction, may be expedient.

2 ~


In some cases, the addition of an iodide, for example potassium iodide, is expedicnt.
The reaction is generally carried out at temperaturss between -10 and 160C,
preferably at room ternperature.

5 To carry out this reaction, any nucleophilic substihJents such as, ~or example,
hydroxyl, mercapto or amino groups, with the exGeption o~ the 1- and/or 4-position in
compounds of the formula ll or lll, must, before the reaction is carried out, bederivatized in a suitable manner or provided with conventional protective groups such
as, for example, acetyl or benzyl, which can then be eliminated.
The sulfurizing reagent which is preferably used for the reaction as described above
under B) is 2,4-bis(4-methoxyphenyl)-1,3-dithia-2,4-diphosphetane 2,4-disulfide
(Lawesson's reagent), bis(tricyclohexyltin) sulfide, bis(tri-n-butyltin) sulfide,
bis(triphenyltin) sulfide, bis(trimethylsilyl) sulfide or phosphorus pentasulfide. The
15 reaction is carried out expediently in an organic solvent or in a solvent mixture, at
room temperature or above, preferably at the boiling point of the reaction mixture, and,
if possible, under anhydrous conditions. Suitable substances are, for example, carbon
disulfide, toluene, xylene, pyridine and 1,2-dichloroethane. If the tin sulfides or silyl
sulfides which have been mentioned are used, it is advisable to carry out the
20 sulfurization reaction in the presence of a Lewis acid, such as boron trichloride.

In the presence of other carbonyl groups in a compound of the formula 1, for example
in a compound where X is oxygen and one or more radicals p~1 to R6 are acyl, thecarbonyl is to be protected by known methods prior to the sulfurization reaction by a
25 suitable protective group, for example by acetalization; subsequent elimination of the
protective groups results in the desired compound.

For the reaction described above under C, the substituent Z is a suitable leaving
group, preferably chlorine, bromine or iodine, a suitable radical o~ sulfuric acid, an
30 aliphatic or aromatic sulfonate, or optionally halogenated acyloxy.

The cyclization described under D) is effec~ed in a suitabie solvent such as rnethanol,
ethanol, N,N-dimethylformamide or N-methylpyrrolidone, in the pres~nce of a base;
S suitable bases are alkali metal carbonates, alkali nnetal hydrogen carbonates, alkaline
earth metal carbonates or alkaline earth metal hydrogen carbonates such as sodium
carbonate, calcium carbonate or sodium bicarbonate, alkali metal hydroxides or
alkaline earth metal hydroxides such as potassium hydroxide or bariu~ hydroxide,alcoholates such as sodium ethanolate or potassium tert.-butylate, organolithium10 compounds such as butyllithiurn or lithium diisopropyiamine, aikali metal hydrides or
alkaline earth metal hydrides such as sodium hydride or calcium hydride, or an
organic base such as triethylamine or pyridine - the latter substances can also be
used as solvents, or organic or mineral acids such as glacial acetic acid, trifluoroacetic
acid, hydrochloric acid or phosphoric acid. The reaction is preferably earried out at
temperatures between 20 and 120C, particularly preferably at room temperature.

tin(ll) chloride in glacial acetic acid, TIC13 in hydrochloric acid, or by catalytic
hydrogenation, the choice of reagent being determined by the chemical stability of the
various substituents R1 and R3 to R5; if, for example, one of the radicals is alkenyl, the
first method will be selected to obtain the double bond.

in the presence of an inorganic or organic auxiliary base such as, for exampie, sodium
carbonate, potassium carbonate, sodium hydroxide or triethylamine. It is
advantageous to use an inert solvent at temperatures between 0 and 150C,
preferably at reflux temperature. Suitable solvents are open-chain or cyclic ethers, for
example tetrahydrofuran or glycol dimethyl ether, aromatic hydrocarbons, for example
toluene or chlorobenzene, alcohols, for example ethanol, isopropanol or glycol
monomethyl ether, dipolar aprotic solvents, for ~xample N,N-dimethylformamide,

Ortho-halonitroaromatic compounds of the formula IX and amino acids of the formula
X are known from the literature and comrnercially available or can be prepared by
methods known from the literature.

The reaction described above under E) is preferably effected by means of catalytic
hydrogenation (using hydrogen) or hydrosilylation (using alkylsilanes, for example
diphenylsilane) in the presence of a hydrogenation ca~alyst, for example Raney nickel
or palladium-on-charcoal, at a hydrogen pressure of 1 to 5 bar, or by means of areducing agent from the class of the complex metal hydrides such as sodium
borohydride or sodium cyanoborohydride, or using metals, or metal salts, and acid
such as, for example, zinc/glacial acetic acid or SnCI2/HCI. It is advantageous to carry
out the reaction in an inert solvent such as lower aicohols, for example methanol or
isopropanol, ethers such as tetrahydrofuran or glycol dimethyl ether, dipolar aprotic
solvents such as N,N-dimethylformamide, aromatic hydrocarbons such as toluene orxylene, or mixtures of these solvents, at temperatures between -20 and 100C,
preferably at room temperature.

If a chiral hydrogenation catalyst, for example di-/u-chloro-bis[(cycloocta-1c,5c-diene~-
rhodium(l)]/(~) or (-)-4,5-bis-(diphenylphosphinomethyl)-2,2-dimethyl-1,3-dioxolane, or
a chiral complex metal hydride, for example sodium tris-lN-benzyloxycarbonyl-
L-prolinoyloxy)-borohydride, are used in the above-described reaction, the individual
enantiomers can be prepared selectively.

If, in compounds of the formula Xl, substituents are present which can be
hydrogenated or reduced under the above-described conditions, for example oxo, it is

2 ~
41
necessary to use an intermediate of the formula Xl with substituents which are not
attacked, but which can be derivatized to give the ~roup raquired, for example
hydroxyl. The substituents can also be provided with a customary protective group, for
example an acetal protective group, which can then be removed after th~ above-des-
5 cribed reaction.

Quinoxalinones of the formula Xl where R1 to R3 are as defined uncler 1) - 4) can be
obtained by known processes by condensing a phenylenediamine of the formula Vl,
where R' and R2 are as defined under 1) - 43 and Rs is hydrogen, with an alpha-
10 ketocarboxylic acid of the formula Xll

R3-Co-CooH (Xll)

where R3 is as defined under 1) - 4).
15 The reaction is expediently carried out in an inert solvent in a temperature range of
between 0 and 150C; examples of suitable solvents are alcohols, for exampls ethanol
or isopropanol, open-chain or cyclic ethers, for example glycol dimethyl ether or
tetrahydrofuran, or dipolar aprotic solvents, for example N,N-dimethylformamide or
acetonitrile.
2~
The reaction described above under F) is expediently carried out in a two-phase
system cornposed of an organic solvent or solvent mixture which is not miscible with
water, composed of, for example, halogenated hydrocarbons, for example
dichlorornethane or 1,2-dichloroethane, or aromatic hydrocarbons, for example toluene
25 or xylene, and a concentrated aqueous solution of an alkali metal hydroxide or alkaline
earth metal hydroxide, for example sodium hydroxide or barium hydroxide. The
presence of a phase transfer catalyst such as, for example, benzyltriethylammonium
chloride or tetrabutylammonium ~romide, is advantageous.
The reaction is usuaily carried out at temperatures be~ween 0 and ~0C, preferably at
30 room temperatur~.

2 ~

42
Substituents in compounds of th~ ~ormulae Vl and Xlll, or XIV, which arc not stable
under the reaction conditions must be replaced by those which can be derivatized to
the required group. The substituents can also be provided with a customary protective
group which can then ~e removed a~ter the above-described reaction.




In the reaction described above under G), Z in formula XV is a suitabl~ leaving group
such as, for example, chlorine, bromine or iodine, a suitable sulfuric acid radical, an
aliphatic or aromatic sulfonate, or optionally halogenated acyioxy.

10 The reaction conditions for this reaction correspond to those in method A.

The reaction described under H) is preferably effected by catalytic hydrog0nation
(using hydrogen) in the presence o~ a hydrogena~ion catalyst, for example palladium-
on-charcoal, at a hydrogen pressure of 1 to 5 bar, or by means of a reducing agent
15 from the class of the complex metal hydrides, such as sodium borohydride, sodium
triacetoxyb¢rohydride or sodium cyanoborohydride.

The reaction is expediently carried out in an inert solvent, sur,h as lower alcohols, for
example methanol or isopropanol, ethers, for example tetrahydrofuran or glycol
20 dimethyl ether, halogenated hydrocarbons, ~or example dichloromethane or
dichloroethane, at temperatures between -20 and 100C, preferably at room tempera-
ture. The presence of an acid such as, for example, acetic acid or trifluoroacetic acid,
or of a Lewis acid such as, for example, titanium tetrachloride, is advantageous. If, in
compounds of the formulae I and XVIJ substituents are pres~nt which can be
25 hydrogenated or reduced under the above-described conditions, for example oxo, the
use of an intermediate of the formulae I and XVI with substituents which are notattacked but which can be derivatized to the required group, for example hydroxyl, is
necessary. Acid-labile groups such as, for example, acetals, or groups which react
under the reaction conditions, such as, ~or exarnple, primary amines, are also ~o be
30 avoided or to be provided with a customary protective group.

2 ~

43
The reaction described under 1) is expediently carried ou~ in an inert solvent. Examples
of suitable solvents are aromatic hydrocarbons such as toluene or xylene, lower
alcohols such as methanol, sthanol or 1-butanol, ethers such as tetrahydrofuran or
glycol dirnethyl ether, dipolar aprotic solvents such as N,N-dimethylformamide,
N-methyl-2-pyrrolidone, acetonitrile, nitrobenzene, dimethyl suHoxid~, or mixtures of
these solvents. Two-phase systems wlth aqueous solutions of bases in the presence
of a phase transfer catalyst such as, for example, benzyltriethylamrnonium chloride,
are also possible.
The presence of a suitable base, for example an alkali metal hydroxide or alkaline
earth metal hydroxide such as potassium hydroxide or barium hydroxide, of an
alcoholate such as sodium ethanolate or potassium tert~-butylate, an or~anolithium
compound such as butyllithium or lithium diisopropylamide, an alkali metal hydride or
alkaline earth metal hydride such as sodium hydride or calciurn hydride, an alkali metal
fluoride such as potassium fluoride, or an organic base such as triethylamine orpyridine, may be useful. The reaction is usually carried out at temperatures between
-10 and 160C, preferably at room temperature.

To carry out this reaction, any nucleophilic ~ubstituents in compounds XVII and XVIII
which do not participate in the reaction, such as, for example, hydroxyl, mercapto or
arnino groups, are to be derivatized in a suitable manner or to be provided withcustomary protective groups such as, for example, acetyl or benzyl, which can then
be eliminated.

Activity tests
Test of preparations against HIV in cell culture
Description of method

Medium:
RMPI pH 6.8
Complete medium additionally contains 20% fetal calf serum and 40 IU/ml
recombinant interleukin 2.

Cells:
Lymphocytes which have been isolated frorn fresh donor blood by means of Ficoll~gradient centrifugation are cultured for 36 hours in complete medium with an addition
of 2 ,L~g/ml phytohemagglutinin ~IVellcome) at 37C under 5% of CO2. A~ter 10% of
DMSO has been added, the cells are frozen at a density of 5 106 and stored in liquid
nitrogen. For the test, the cells are defrosted, washed in RPMI medium and cul~ured
for 3 - 4 days in the complete medium.

Mixture:
The test preparations were dissolved in DMSO at a concentration of 16.7 mg/ml and
diluted in complete medium to 1 mg/ml.
0.4 ml of medium was introduced into 24-multiwell dishes. 0.1 ml of ~he dissolvsd

2~6~9~
53
preparation was ad~ed to the upper row of the dish, and, by transferring 0.1 ml
portions, a geometric dilution series was established. Controls without preparation
always contained 0.4 ml of complete medium containing 0.5% of DMSO. Lymphocyte
cultures with a cell density of 5 ~ 105 cells/ml were infected by adding 1/50 volume
5 supernatant from HlV-infected Iymphocyte cultures. The titer of these culture
supernatants was determined by end-point titration as 1 5 106 infectious units/ml.
After 30 minutes' incubation at 37C, the infected Iymphocytes were removed by
centrifugation and taken up in an equal volume of medium. From this cell suspension,
0.6 ml aliquots were transferred into all wells of the test plate. The mixtures were
10 incubated for 3 days at 37C.

Evaluation:
The infected cell cultures were examined under the microscope for the presence of
giant cells, which indicate active virus multiplication in the culture. The lowest
15 concentration of preparation where no giant cells were observed was de~ermined as
inhibitory concentration against HIV. As a control, the supernatants from the culture
plates were tested for the presence of HIV antigen with the aid of an HIV antigen test
following the manufacturer's instructions (Organon).

20 Results:

The results from this test are shown in Table 1.

Assay of the substances for HIV reverse transcriptase inhibition
The activity of reverse transcriptase (RT) was determined with the aid of a scintillation
proximity assay (SPA).
The reagent kit for the RT-SPA was obtained from Amersham/Buchler (Braunschweig).
The enzyme RT (from HIV cloned in E. coli) originated from HT-Biotechnology Ltd,15 Cambridge, UK.

Mixture

The assay was carried out using the manufacturer's (Amersham) protocol manual,
20 with the following modifications:

- bovine serum albumin was added to the assay buffer to give an end
concentration of 0.5 mg/ml



2 9 ~
59
- the assay was carried out in Eppendorf reaction vessels, using 100 ~JI volume
per batch

- the manufacturer's RT concentrate (5000 U/ml) was diluted in Tris-HCI buffer
20 mM; pH 7.2; 30% of glycerol, to an activity of 15 U per ml

- the incubation time for ~he mixtures was 60 minutes (37C)

- after stopping ~he reaction and ~developing~ with the bead suspension, 130 ,ul of
mixture were transferred to 4.5 ml of Tris-HCI buffer, 10 mM; pH 7.4; 0.15 M
NaCI, and the tritium activity was measured by means of a -counter.

Assay

For a pre-assay for inhibitory activity, the substances were dissolved in DMSO (stock
solution c = 1 mg/ml), and tested as a 101, 102, 103, etc., dilution in DMSO.

To determine IC50 values, the inhibitor stock solutions were diluted further in Tris-HCI
buffer, 50 mM, pH 8, and tested in suitable concentrations.
The concentration corresponding to a 50% enzyme inhibition was determined from aplot of RT activity versus log Cjnh.

The test results are shown in Table 1a.

Example XVII
6,7-Dimethoxy-3-methyl-3,4-dihydroquinoxalin-2(1 H)-one

4,5-l~imethoxy-1,2-dinitrabenzene (34.2 g, Q.15 mol) was hydrogenated in 500 ml of
5 methanol with Raney nickel catalysis using 1 atm hydrogen. After the calculated
amount of hydrogen had been taken up, the process was stopped, the catalyst
was removed by filtration with suction, and the solvent was stripped off in vacuo.
To remove the water completely, the mixture was taken up hNice in methanol and
reconcentrated. 4,5-Dimethoxy-1,2-phenylenediamine (24.0 g), which remained as abrown oil, was refluxed for 48 hours in 200 ml of ethanol (96%) together with
17.1 ml (0.15 mol) of methyl 2-chloropropionate, with an addition of 21.0 ml
(0.15 mol) of triethylamine. The solution, which was very dark, was concentrated,
the concentrate was taken up in ethyl acetate, the mixture was washed twice withwater and dried (sodium sulfate), and the solvent was stripped off in vacuo.
15 The crude product was crystallized by stirring with diethyl ether (6.2 g, 19%). A
analytically pure sample of melting point 151 C was obtained by silica gel
chromatography using ethyl acetate as the eluent.

To a solution of 0.31 ml (3.0 mmol) of thiophenol in 10 ml of 1,2-dimethoxyethane
there was added û.17 g of a 55% suspension of sodium hydride in mineral oil, with

116 20~985
ice-cooling, and the mixture was stirred for 1 hour at room temperature. 0.5 g
(1.9 mmol) of the compound of Example XXXV were introduced, again with ice-
cooling, and stirring was then continued for 2 hours at room temperature. For
working-up, the mixture was treated with saturated aqu~ous sodium chloride
5 solution, extracted twice with ethyl acetate and dried (sodium sulfate), and the
solvent was stripped off. The solid residue was recrystallized frorn
heptane/isopropanol, 0.35 g (35%), melting point 194-195C.
H NMR (200 MHz, d6-DMSO): ~ = 1.10 (d, J = 7 Hz, 3 H), 4.93 (q, J = 7 Wz,
1H),7.08(d,J=9Hz,1H),7.33(dd,J=9,3Hz,1H),7.4-78.6(m,5H),7.78
(d, J = 3 Hz, 1 H), 10.16 ppm (br. s, 1 H).
MS: (M + H)' = 333, (M - C~H5SH + H)' 223
