ISOQUINOLINE DERIVATIVES AND DRUGS
TECHNICAL FIELD
The present invention relates to an isoquinoline
derivative having cerebral vasospasm-inhibiting
activity and, thus, finding application as a medicine.
BACKGROUND ART
Cerebrovascular disease can be groupified into a
hemorrhagic group and an ischemic group. The
hemorrhagic group typically comprises subarachnoid
hemorrhage arising ;from aneurysmal rupture, hyper-
tensive cerebral hemorrhage, and head trauma.
Subarachnoid hemorrhage entails a delayed vasospasm of
the major cerebral arteries and may lead to vascular
constriction disorders and sometimes to death. The
ischemic group is represented by cerebral infarction
and transient ischemic attack (TIA). The vascular
disorder and neuronal injury caused by infarction or
hemorrhage may lead to dyskinesia such as numbness or
motor paralysis of the limbs and neurologic and mental
dysfunctions in the acute through chronic stage, with
disturbance of consciousness and death ensuing in
severe cases.
For the treatmentof such cerebrovasculardiseases,
" CA 02245728 1998-07-31
'1 2
antithrombotics and enhancers of cerebral circulation
and metabolism have been used to this day. However, few
drugs are available which inhibit this fatal cerebral
vasospasm or the neuronal injury leading to dementia
and there exists a pressing need for an effective
therapeutic agent.
By way of illustration, as subarachnoid hemorrhage
takes place, narrowing of the vascular lumen persisting
for several weeks is induced in the major cerebral
arteries in 4~-5 days following the bleeding event. This
phenomenon a.s known as cerebral vasospasm and once the
ultimate ischemia triggers the onset of neurological
symptoms, the functional prognosis and, at times, even
the vital prognosis of the case are seriously
influenced.
As the therapeutic drug for cerebral vasospasm
subsequent to subarachnoid hemorrhage, fasudil
[hexahydro-1-(5-isoquinolinylsulfonyl)-1H-1,4-
diazepine] hydrochloride is the only drug that is used
clinically today (Japanese Kokai Tokkyo Koho S61-
227581) .
Aside from the above drug, it is known that
compounds having an isoquinoline ring substituted by
cyclic aminosulfonyl in its 5-position are useful as
cerebrovascular drugs (vasodilators, enhancers of
CA 02245728 2005-07-25

cerebral circulation and metabolism,antianginal drugs,
prophylactic and therapeutic drugs f.or cerebrovascular
or cardiovascular thrombosis, and prophylactic and
therapeutic drugs for hypertension) jJapanese Kokai
Tokkyo Koho S57-156463, S58-,.121279, and S6I-227561].
Not known, however, is a compound such that its
isoquinoline skeleton has been substituted by a cyclic
aminosulfonyl group in. its 5-positon and further
substituted in its 4-position,

Bte~2 By a per se known procedure, the hydroxyl group
of compound [VIIIa] is converted to halogen (e.g. C1,
Br) or acyloxy (e. g. tosyloxy, methanesulfonyloxy,
acetyloxy) to provide compound [VIIIb].
Btep 3 Compound [VIIIb] is reacted with aminoalkyl
alcohol [XIII] in a suitable solvent, either in the
absence or in the presence of a base, in otherwise the
same manner as Process 1 to provide compound [VIIIc].
Step The secondary amino group of compound [VIIIc]
is protected by a per se known procedure to provide
compound [VIIId]. The protective group may be any of
the protective groups mentioned for Process 1.
stets In the routine manner, compound [VIIId] is
~ CA 02245728 1998-07-31
s
converted to compound [VIIIe].
Step 6 Compound [VIIIe] a.s treated with a base in a

whereby compound [Ib] is obtained. The base which can
be used includes various alkalies such as sodium hydride,
sodium hydrogencarbonate, potassium carbonate, sodium
hydroxide and potassium hydroxide and organic tertiary
amines such as triethylamine and triethylenediamine.
This reaction is carried out using the same reaction
solvent under the same conditions as mentioned for
Process 1.
Compound [Ib] can also be obtained by subjecting
compound [VIIId] to intramolecular dehydration
reaction using triphenylphosphine and diethyl
azodicarboxylate and removing the protective group.
The compound of formula [I] wherein R1 is alkenyl
or CZ_6 alkyl can also be produced by reducing the
compound [ Ic ] ( formula [ I ] in which R1 is alkynyl )
prepared by any of the above-described processes. For
example, the compound [ I ] wherein Rl is alkenyl can be
obtained by subjecting compound [Ic] to catalytic
reduction in a solvent such as methanol, ethanol, ethyl
acetate, or quinoline in the presence of
palladium/barium carbonate, palladium/calcium
- CA 02245728 1998-07-31
a
16
carbonate, or Rindlar catalyst at atmospheric
temperature and pressure. The compound in which Rl is
alkyl can be obtained by subjecting the compound in
which R1 is alkynyl or alkenyl to catalytic reduction
with the aid of a catalyst such as platinum, platinum
oxide, palladium-on-carbon, or Raney nickel in a
solvent such as methanol, ethanol, or acetic acid at
atmospheric temperature and pressure or optionally at

and R2 is hydroxy or halogen can also be produced by
oxidizing the compound [Id] (formula [I] in which R1 is
alkyl and RZ is hydrogen) obtained by any of the
above-described processes. Thus, the compound in
which R2 is hydroxy can be obtained by heating compound
[Id] together with an oxidizing agent such as hydroger~
peroxide, a peracid, or tert-butyl peroxide in a solvent
such as acetic acid, methylene chloride, or chloroform
to give isoquinoline N-oxide and hydrolyzing the same
with acetic anhydride under heating. Furthermore, by
heating said isoquinoline N-oxide together with
phosphorus oxychloride or phosphorus tribromide, the
compound in which RZ is halogen can be provided.
The compound [I] having a substituent on the
nitrogen atom of Ring A, i.e. compound [Ie] (R' in
_ CA 02245728 1998-07-31
17
formula [I] represents alkyl or amidino), can also be
produced by introducing a substituent group into the
compound [ If ] (R' a.n formula [ I ] represents hydrogen)
obtained by any of the processes described hereinbefore.
For example, the compound having alkyl for R' can be
obtained by reacting compound [If] with an alkylating
agent in the presence of a base. The compound having
amidino for R' can be obtained by reacting compound [If]
with an isourea derivative in the presence of a base.
The base which can be used here includes various
alkalies such as sodium hydrogencarbonate, potassium
carbonate, sodium hydroxide and potassium hydroxide,
and organic tertiary amines such as triethylamine and
so forth. The reaction solvent which can be used
includes but is not limited to ethanol, methanol,
benzene, toluene, N,N-dimethylformamide, and dimethyl
sulfoxide. Thus, the compound in which R' is amidino
can be produced by reacting compound [If] with S-
methylisothioureaor0-methylisoureain a solvent (e. g.
tetrahydrofuran, ethanol, or methanol) at room
temperature or under heating.
In the above production processes, hydroxyl and
amino groups can be protected, whenever necessary, with
suitable known protective groups and, after completion
of the contemplated reaction, deprotected by per se
- CA 02245728 1998-07-31
s
18
known procedures such as acid treatment, alkali
treatment, and catalytic reduction. The amino-
protecting group that can be used includes but is not
limited to benzyl, benzyloxycarbonyl, and tri-
fluoroacetyl. The hydroxy-protecting group that can
be used includes but is not limited to methoxymethyl,
2-methoxyethoxymethyl, methylthiomethyl, tetra-
hydropyranyl, tert-butyl, benzyl, trimethylsilyl, and
tent-butyldimethylsilyl. When the hydroxyl group is
protected with benzyl, the catalytic reduction results
in simultaneous debenzylation to regenerate a free
hydroxyl group.

procedure described in Reference Example 1.
The starting compound [ III ] can be purchased from
a commercial source or prepared by the procedure
described in Reference Example 2.

gelatin, polyvinylpyrrolidone, polyvinyl alcohol,
etc.), dissolution retardants (e. g. paraffin),
reabsorption agents (e. g. quaternary salts), and/or
adsorbents (e. g. bentonite, kaolin, dicalcium
phosphate, etc. ) can also be added. The powdery mixture
can be made into granules by wetting it with a binder,
such as a syrup, a starch paste, gum arabic, a cellulose
solution, or a polymer solution, stirring the wet powder
well, drying it, and pulverizing the same. Instead of
converting the powders to granules in the above manner,
the powders may be compressed with a tablet machine and
the resulting crude slags be comminuted into granules .
The granules thus prepared can be protected against
conglomeration by adding a lubricant such as stearic
acid, a salt of stearic acid, talc or mineral oil. The
thus-lubricated composition is then compressed. The
resulting core tablets can be.coated with a film coating
agent or a sugar coating agent.
As an alternative, the active compound can be
directly mixed with a free-flowing inert carrier
- CA 02245728 1998-07-31
without being subjected to the above-mentioned
granulation or slagging procedure and the mixture be
directly compressed. A transparent or translucent
protective coating capable of yielding a hermetic
shellac or other film, a sugar coating, a polymer
coating, or a glaze wax coating, for instance, can also
be applied. Otherdosageformsfororal administration,
such as solutions, syrups, and elixirs, can also be
provided in unit dosage forms each containing a
predetermined amount of the drug. Syrups are
manufactured by dissolving the active compound in a
suitable flavored aqueous medium, while elixirs are
manufactured using a nontoxic alcoholic vehicle.
Suspensions are prepared by dispersing the active
compound in nontoxic vehicles. Where necessary,
solubilizers and emulsifiers (e. g. ethoxylated
isostearyl alcohol, polyoxyethylene sorbitol ester,
etc.) as well as preservatives and flavorants (e. g.
peppermint oil, saccharin, etc.) can also be added.
If necessary, unit dosage formulations for oral
administration can be microencapsulated. Such
formulations can also be coated with, or embedded in,
a polymer or wax matrix for prolonged action or
sustained release.
Parenteral administrationcan becarriedoutusing
- CA 02245728 1998-07-31

liquid unit dosage forms, e.g. solutions or suspensions,
for subcutaneous, intramuscular or intravenous
injection. Such dosage forms can be manufactured by
suspending or dissolving a predetermined amount of the
active compound a.n an injectable nontoxic liquid
vehicle, e.g. an aqueous medium or an oily medium, and
sterilizing the resulting suspension or solution: To
make an injection isotonic, a nontoxic salt or a
solution thereof can be added. Moreover, stabilizers,
preservatives, emulsifiers, and other additives can
also be employed.
. Rectal administration can be made using
suppositories manufactured by dissolving or suspending
the active compound in a low-melting water-soluble or
water-insolublesolid medium,e.g.polyethylene glycol,
cacao butter, a semi-synthetic oleaginous base (e. g.
WitepsolT~), a higher fatty acid ester (e. g. myristyl
palmitate) or a mixture thereof.

FffeGt on the calcium ~ onox>ho~-e-induced contraction of
the rat aorta
CA 02245728 1998-07-31
68
Rats (SD, male, 10-14 weeks old) were sacrificed
by exsanguination under ether anesthesia and the
thoracic aorta (ca 3 cm) was isolated. After removal
of the fat and connective tissue, the isolated aorta
was sliced into rings about 3 mm in width. The luminal
wall of the ring-shaped aortic preparation was rubbed
to remove the endothelial cells. This preparation was
suspended to the isometric tension transducer of a
Magnus equipment containing an organ bath medium and
loaded with a static tension of 1 g. The Magnus bath
was maintained at 37°C under aerated with a mixed gas
( 9'S~ 02 + 5~ C02) and, with the organ bath replaced with
fresh one at intervals of about 20 minutes, the aortic
preparation was equilibrated for about 1 hour. To this
preparation, calcium ionophore A23187 was added at a
final concentration of 1 a M, and after the constant
contractile responses of the aortic preparation were
confirmed, the test compound was cumulatively
administered. The contraction-relaxation response
during the time was recorded and the 50~ inhibitory
concentration [ICSO ( ~ M) ] of the test compound against
A23187-induced vascular contraction was determined.
As a result, the ICSO values of the compounds of Example
12 and Example 26 were found to be 1.1 and 0.74,
respectively. On the other hand, the ICSa value of the
- CA 02245728 1998-07-31
69
positive control fasudil hydrochloride was 5.1. The
composition of the organ bath used in this experiment
was: NaCl 115.9 mM (the same applies below); KC1 5.9;
CaCl2 2 . 5 ; MgClz 1 . 2 ; NaHZP01 1 . 2 ; NaHC03 25 . 0 ; glucose
11.5. Those components were dissolved in deionized
distilled water. The pH of the organ bath saturated
with said mixed gas was 7.4.
The compound of the invention has the action to
relieve the contractile response of blood vessels to
calcium ionophore and the intensity of the action was
remarkably highas compared with fasudil hydrochloride.
Test Example 2
Using rats (SD, male, 11-12 weeks old)under
urethane anesthesia, the head of each animal was fixed
and the skin of the left buccal region was incised.
After the buccinator muscle was removed, the zygomatic
bone was exposed. In the cranial bone, immediately
above the middle cerebral artery (MCA), a hole about
mm in diameter was drilled using an electric dental
drill for allowing direct visual access to the MCA. The
probe (diameter: 1.0 mm) of a laser Doppler blood
flowmeter was placed in close proximity with the MCA
to monitor the change in MCA blood flow. The test
- CA 02245728 1998-07-31
compound Was dissolved and diluted in saline and 3 mg/kg
was administered via a cannula from the femoral vein.
The dose volume was adjusted to 0.1 m1/100 g and the
whole amount was administered over about 30 seconds.
The effect of each test compound was expressed as the
percent increase in blood flow from the pre-
administration basalirie and the duration of action was
expressed in the period of time till return to the
baseline. As a result, the compound of the invention
was equivalent to fasudil hydrochloride in the percent
increase a.n blood flow but was by far superior to fasudil
hydrochloride in the duration of action. Thus, whereas
the duration of action of fasudil hydrochloride was 2 . 3
minutes, those of the compound of Example 26 and Example
31 were 31.2 minutes and 36.0 minutes, respectively.
The compound of the invention has the action to
increase the rat middle cerebral arterial blood flow
and the duration of this action was by far .longer than
that of fasudil hydrochloride.

Then, 0.20 ml of cerebrospinal fluid was removed from
the cranial cavity by cervical vertebral paracentesis
and 0.30 ml of arterial blood from another rat was
infused into the cisterns magna. Then, the head was
tilted down through an angle of 20 degrees for 20 minutes
to allow the blood to be distributed uniformly from the
basilar artery to Willis' cords. On the following day,
with the animal fixed in supine position under urethane
anesthesia, the cervical region was incised for
tracheal cannulation. After the occipital bone was
exposed, the dura mater, arachnoid, and pie mater were
incised to expose the basilar artery. After the
incision was covered with liquid paraffin, the basilar
artery was recorded under microscopic magnification on
a video recorder and the diameter of the basilar artery
was determined by image analysis. The test compound was
administered in a dose of 3 mg/kg from the left femoral
vein over 1 minute. The effect of each compound was
expressed in the percent increase in diameter at the
maximum relaxation time as compared with the pre-
administration baseline. As a result, whereas the
compounds of Example 1 and Example 21 caused increases
of 21.4 and 15.1, respectively, in basilar artery
diameter,fasudilhydrochloride causedonly anincrease
of 7.5~.

Test Example 4
Cerebral vasoggasm-relieving effect in the canine model
of subarachnoid hemorrhage
According to the method of Varsos et al. (J.
Neurosurgery, ,~, 11-17, 1983] , a two-hemorrhage canine
model was developed by twice injection of autologous
blood into the cisterns magna. On day 1 of experiment,
a control angiogram of the basilar artery prior to
medication was recorded underpentobarbital anesthesia.
Then, 4 ml of cerebrospinal fluid was removed from the
cisterns magna and the same volume of autologous blood
was injected at a rate of 2 ml/min. After this blood
injection, the head was tilted down through an angle
of 30 degrees for 30 minutes to allow the blood to be
distributed uniformly throughout Willis' cords. On
day 3 of experiment, 4 ml of autologous blood was
injected again into the cisterns magna. On day 7, a
cerebral angiogram was taken under pentobarbital
anesthesia to verify the induction of delayed cerebral
vasospasm and the evaluation of the drug was then
carried out. The test compound, 3 mg/kg, was
administered from the left femoral vein over 1 minute .
Angiography was performed immediately before drug
administration and 10, 20, 30, and 60 minutes after the
start of administration. The action of each test
CA 02245728 1998-07-31
73
compound was expressed i.n the percent increase in
maximal sectional area of the basilar artery as compared
with the baseline value prior to administration. As a
result, the percent increases obtained with the
compounds of Example 21, Example 26, and Example 31 were
found to be 27. 9~, 37. 1~, and 34. 1~, respectively. On
the other hand, the percent increase with the positive
control fasudil hydrochloride was 9.1~. Thus,
compared with fasudil hydrochloride, the compound of
the invention showed very potent vasospasm-reversing
activity and caused recovery of the caliber of the
basilar artery substantially to the pre-treatment
baseline value in the canine modal of subarachnoid
hemorrhage.
Test Example 5
Rats (SD, male, 11-13 weeks old) were fixed in
prone position under pentobarbital anesthesia and a
midline incision was made in the dorsocervical region.
After 0.2 ml of cerebrospinal fluid was removed from
the cranial cavity by cervical vertebral paracentesis,
0.30 ml of either artificial cerebrospinal fluid or rat
arterial blood was injected into the cisterna magna over
1 minute. Then, the head was tilted down through 20
degrees for 10 minutes to allow the basilar arterial
CA 02245728 1998-07-31
74
blood to be distributed uniformly in Willis' cords. The
incision was treated with Terramycin and sutured and
mg of Viccillin was administered intramuscularly.
After 24 hours, the rat was anesthetized with urethane
(1.1 g/kg, i.p.) and fixed in supine position. The
brain tissue was fixed by retrograde perfusion With
PBS/formalin from the descending aorta and stained by
infusing 0.8 ml of Monastral Blue from the descending
aorta. After the brain was removed, the basilar
arterial region was photographed and the diameter of
the basilar artery was determined. The drug was
dissolved in saline and administered over 1 minute into
the right femoral vein 20 minutes after blood injection.
As a result, the group treated with 3 mg/kg i.v.
of the compound of Example 31 showed no evidence of the
basilar artery vasospasm which was otherwise induced
at 24 hours after blood infusion. With the positive
control fasudil hydrochloride, the basilar artery
vasospasm at 24 hours after blood injection was not
observed in the group treated with 10 mg/kg i.v.
Test Example 6
Effect on cerebral infarction in the rat model of
transient middle cerebral art--Pry occlusion
With male rats (Slc:SD strain, 7 weeks old)
anesthesized with halothane, the common carotid artery
CA 02245728 1998-07-31
was incised and a nylon thread was inserted from the
incision and advanced through the internal carotid
artery to the origin of the middle cerebral artery.
After this arrest of middle cerebral arterial blood flow,
the anesthesia was terminated and 2 hours later the
nylon thread was removed for reperfusion. After 6 hours
of reperfusion, the brain was removed and stained with
triphenyltetrazolium chloride (TTC) for identification
of the infarcted region. The infarct volume was
determined for each of the cerebral cortex and the
striatum. The drug was administered intravenously
over 1 minute for a total of 3 times, i.e. 30 minutes
before occlusion of the middle cerebral artery,
immediately after occlusion, and one hour later.
Saline was administered as a control . The results were
expressed in mean ~ standard error and analyzed for
significant difference by the Dunnett method. As a
result, the compound of Example 31, administered three'
times at each dose of O. 1 or 0.3 mg/kg and the compound
of Example 26, administered three times at 0.1 mg/kg
respectively showed significant protection against
infarction in both the cerebral cortex and the striat.
On the other hand, fasudil hydrochloride administered
three times at 5 mg/kg showed significant antiinfarct
effect for the striate body only.

containing mixed gas (nitrous oxide: oxygen = 70:30) and
using an electric dental drill, a hole about 5 mm a.n
diameter was drilled in the cranial bone immediately
above the middle cerebral artery (MCA) to provide a
direct visual access to the MCA. Rose Bengal (RB) , 20
mg/kg, was administered intravenously. After 5
minutes, using a three-dimensional manipulator, alight
guide (diameter 3. O mm) as a light source for generating
thrombosis was brought close to the MCA for irradiating
the artery with green light for 10 minutes. After 24
hours, the animal was decapitated and the brain was
removed. Coronal sections at 2 mm intervals were
prepared and stained with TTC and the infarct volume
for the whole brain was determined. The drug was
administered intravenously over 1 minute for a total
of 3 times, i.e. immediately after completion of
green-light irradiation and 1 and 2 hours later. Saline
was administered in a same way as a control . The results
were expressed in mean ~ standard error and analyzed
CA 02245728 1998-07-31

for significant difference by the Dunnett method. As
a result, the compound of Example 31 showed a
significant antiinfarct effect at the dose of 0.3 or
3 mg/kg x 3. On the other hand, fasudil hydrochloride
showed a significant antiinfarct effect at 10 mg/kg x
3.
Test Example 8
Acute toxicitv
Using 5-week-old male ddY mice (6 per group) , the
test drug was administered over 60 seconds from the
caudal vain and the animal was observed for mortality
over the subsequent 24-hour period. The test drug was
used as dissolved and diluted in saline or dimethyl
sulfoxide (DMSO) . As the test drugs, the compounds of
Example l, Example 21, Example 22, and Example 24 and
fasudil hydrochloride were used_ As a result, none of
the compounds of the invention and fasudil
hydrochloride caused death at the dose of 40 mg/kg.
INDUSTRIAL APPLICABILITY
Thus, compared with the control fasudil
hydrochloride, the compound of the invention showed
sufficient cerebral vasospasm-reversing activity in
much lower dose. Moreover, the duration of action of
the compound of the invention was also considerably
longer. Those findings suggest the usefulness of the
CA 02245728 1998-07-31
78
compound of the invention in the prevention and
treatment of cerebrovascular diseases, particularly
brain tissue impairments due to the cerebral vasospasm
subsequent to cerebral hemorrhage. Furthermore, the
compound of the invention has cerebral vasodilating
activity and protectant activity against ischemic
neuronal death, thus being useful for the management
of sequelae of cerebral hemorrhage, cerebral infarction,
transient cerebral ischemic attack, or head trauma.
