说明书全文

This invention relates to novel compounds having anthelmintic activity, to processes for their preparation and to pharmaceutical compositions containing them.

Tetramisole and levamisole are very well known anthelmintics of structure:

(tetramisole is the dl form, levamisole the 1 form).

Over the years since these anthelmintics first became known numerous publications have been made on analogues thereof. A study of these publications reveals that one class of active analogues are those of formula:

wherein the dotted line is an optionally present bond, and wherein R is for example alkyl (Belgian Patent No. 764755), pyridyl (U.K. Patent No. 1516938), isoxazolyl (Belgian Patent No. 859949), isothiazolyl (Belgian Patent No. 859950), and a whole range of substituents including alkyl, aromatic and heteroaromatic groups (Belgian Patent No. 773062).

A group of compounds having anthelmintic activity has now been found which falls within the general scope of formula (B).

According to the present invention there is provided a compound of formula (I), or a salt thereof, in the 1- form:

in which the dotted line is an optionally present double bond, R1 and R2 may be the same or different and each is hydrogen, an optionally substituted C1 to C7 alkyl group, an optionally substituted aryl group or a heterocyclic aromatic group.

Compounds of formula (I) also have activity against filarial worms

The compound of formula (I) may be optically pure or admixed in any proportion with the d-isomer, for instance, as the racemic or dl-form.

Preferably R1 is a hydrogen atom, a methyl or optionally substituted phenyl group.

R2 is preferably methyl and is conveniently located at the 3- or 5- position on the pyrazolyl ring.

Preferred compounds of formula (I) are those of formula (IA)

Suitable salts of the compounds of formula (I) include the hydrochloride, hydrobromide, hydroiodide, nitrate, sulphate, acetate, lactate, and citrate salts.

According to a further aspect of the invention there is provided a process for the preparation of a compound of formula (I) in which the 1- form of a compound of formula (v):

is reacted with an acid of formula (VI):

or a "reactive derivative" thereof, in which R1 and R2 are as defined with respect to formula (I).

"Reactive derivative" when used herein means a derivative of the acid of formula (VI) which can be reacted with the amine of formula (V) to form an amido linkage between the acid group of the compound (VI) and the amino group of the amine.

Often this reactive derivative will be the acid halide, such as the acid chloride, of the acid (VI). Normally the reaction between.an acid halide of (VI) and the amine (V) is conveniently carried out in an aqueous alcohol solvent, such as aqueous methanol. Alternatively the reaction can be carried out in an inert solvent, preferably in the presence of an acid acceptor. The inert solvent can be any solvent inert to both reactants, such as benzene, toluene or diethylether. The acid acceptor is suitably an organic base such as a tertiary amine e.g. triethylamine, trimethylamine, pyridine and picoline, or an inorganic acid acceptor, such as calcium carbonate, sodium carbonate, potassium carbonate and the like. It should also be noted that it is possible to use certain acid acceptors as the inert solvent, for example organic bases.

Another useful reactive derivative of the acid (VI) that may be used is an acid ester, such as a methyl, ethyl, propyl or butyl ester, in which case the reaction is normally carried out by heating the reactants together in an inert solvent such as dichloromethane, in the presence of a suitable condensing reagent such as a trialkylaluminium, especially trimethylaluminium.

The reaction may also be carried out by forming an anhydride of the acid (VI) in the usual manner, and reacting that with the amine - normally a conventional mixed anhydride will be used; or by reacting the acid (VI) and the amine in the presence of a dehydrating- catalyst such as a carbodiimide, for example dicyclohexylcarbodiimide.

The amines of formula (V), and the acids of formula (VI) may be prepared in known manner.

To prepare compounds of formula (I) in the dl-form, the corresponding dl-amine of formula (V) may simply be used. To prepare compounds of the formula (I) in the 1-form, the corresponding 1-form of the amine of formula (V) may simply be used.

Alternatively of course 1-forms of compounds of the formula (I) may be prepared from their corresponding dl-form by resolution in conventional manner (as of course may 1-forms of the amines of formula (V) be prepared from their corresponding dl-forms). Such resolution may be effected via an optically active salt formed from the racemic compound by reaction with an optically active acid such as d-tartaric acid, or, preferably, d-or 1-dibenzoyl tartaric acid.d-10-Camphor sulphonic acid is another optically active acid which may be used. Resolution reactions of this general nature are described in U.K. Patent No. 1402689 and U.S. Patents Nos. 3463786 and 3673205.

In a further aspect of the invention there is provided a process for the preparation of a compound of formula (I) - in which the 1- form of a compound of formula (VIII):

or a salt thereof, wherein R1 and R2 are as defined with respect to formula (I), X is chlorine or bromine, or hydroxyl, and Y is an imino protecting group, or a proton, is cyclised.

Suitably Y is a Cl-4 alkanoyl group, such as acetyl.

Suitably salts of the compound of formula (VIII) include the hydrochloride and hydrobromide.

The cyclisation reaction may be carried out in conventional manner, for example by heating the compound of formula (VIII) with excess of a base which does not hydrolyse the amide linkage, such as aqueous potassium carbonate, aqueous triethylamine, aqueous pyridine, or dilute ammonia solution. Suitably the reaction is carried out at 30 to 100°C for a few hours. Conveniently chloroform is present in addition to the base, the chloroform layer being separated after reaction and evaporated to dryness to yield the desired product.

The compounds of formula (VIII) may be prepared by analogous processes, for example in general manner illustrated in U.K. Patent No. 1516938.

Again if necessary resolution of either the product of this process, or of the compound of the formula (VIII) may be carried out in the manner hereinbefore described.

The salts of the compounds of the formula (I) may be prepared in entirely conventional manner, for example by reacting the compounds with the appropriate acid.

Compounds of formula (I) and (II) are useful in the treatment or prophylaxis of roundworm infections in animals,' such as cattle, sheep and companion animals, and of filarial worm infections especially in companion animals.

Accordingly the invention also provides a pharmaceutical composition comprising a compound of the formula (I) or (II) or a pharmaceutically acceptable salt thereof, and a pharmaceutically acceptable carrier.

For oral administration the compositions may conveniently be in the form of aqueous solutions or suspensions of the active ingredient. Alternatively the active ingredient may be mixed in with an animal feedstuff or animal feed supplement.

Also the compound of formula (I) may be orally administered in the rumen devices described in Offenlegungsschrift No. 2824288 and U.K. Patent Application No. 43555/78 (European Patent Application No. 79302445.6).

For parenteral administration the carrier will be any vehicle conveniently used for such administration, for example sterile water.

Alternatively the compound may be administered in a pour-on formulation using a conventional carrier such as dimethyl sulphoxide.

Suitably the compositions contain from 0.1 to 1000 mg/kg of animal body weight of active ingredient per dose, more suitably 1 to 50 mg/kg..For sustained release, devices as described above may contain from 1 to about 50 g, preferably about 3 g. The exact amount depending on the size of the animal and the period of drug release.

The invention also provides a method of treatment or prophylaxis of worm infections in animals, which comprises the administration to the sufferer of an effective amount of a compound of formula (I) or a pharmaceutically acceptable salt thereof.

It will be appreciated that it will normally be advisable to repeat the dosing of the infected animal with the compound of formula (I) according to conventional dosage regimes normally used with anthelmintics such as tetramisole and levamisole.
