This invention relates to new 3-aminoindazole derivatives having valuable therapeutic activity. More specifically the 3-aminoindazoles of this invention have central nervous system activity and are particularly useful as muscle relaxants, analgesics, antipyretics and mild tranquilizers.
The novel 3-aminoindazole derivatives of this invention are represented by the following structural formula:
when:
R represents halogen having an atomic weight of less than 80 or trifluoromethyl, said R being in a position β to the hetero ring;
R1 represents hydrogen, lower alkyl or phenyl and
R2 and R3 represent hydrogen or lower alkyl.
The term "lower alkyl" where used herein denotes groups having 1-6 carbon atoms preferably 1-2.
The preferred compounds of this invention are those of Formula I in which R is in the 5-position.
Advantageous compounds of this invention have the following formula:
in which R is trifluoromethyl or chloro.
A compound of this invention having particularly advantageous therapeutic activity is 3-amino-5-trifluoromethylindazole.
This invention also includes pharmaceutically acceptable salts of the above defined bases formed with nontoxic organic and inorganic acids. Such salts are easily prepared by methods known to the art. The base is reacted with either the calculated amount of organic or inorganic acid in aqueous miscible solvent, such as acetone or ethanol, with isolation of the salt by concentration and cooling or an excess of the acid in aqueous immiscible solvent, such as ethyl ether or chloroform, with the desired salt separating directly. Exemplary of such organic salts are those with maleic, fumaric, benzoic, ascorbic, pamoic, succinic, bismethylenesalicylic, methanesulfonic, ethanedisulfonic, acetic, propionic, tartaric, salicylic, citric, gluconic, lactic, maleic, mandelic, cinnamic, citraconic, aspartic, stearic, palmitic, itaconic, glycolic, p-aminobenzoic, glutamic, benzene sulfonic and theophylline acetic acids as well as with the 8-halotheophyllines, for example, 8-bromotheoplylline 8-bromotheophylline. Exemplary of such inorganic salts are those with hydrochloric, hydrobromic, sulfuric, sulfamic, phosphoric and nitric acids. If Of course, these salts may also be prepared by the classical method of double decomposition of appropriate salts which is well-known to the art.
The novel 3-aminoindazole derivatives of this invention are prepared by either of the following procedures:
X is Br, I or Cl and R and R1 are as defined hereabove.
The term R is as defined hereabove.
According to Procedure A above an R-substituted-o-halobenzonitrile is reacted with at least one equivalent of a hydrazine in a suitable solvent such as a lower alkanol for example ethanol, isopropanol or butanol. The reaction is advantageously carried out at elevated temperature such as from about 45°C to the reflux temperature for from about 12 to 36 hours. It is preferable to have a small amount of a mineral acid such as hydrochloric acid present in the reaction mixture to catalyze the cyclization to the indazole.
By procedure B above an R-substituted-o-cyanoaniline is diazotized by treating with concentrated hydrochloric acid and sodium nitrite and the resulting diazo compound is treated with stannous chloride in concentrated hydrochloric acid at about 0°C to give, after working up, the 3-aminoindazole of this invention.
The compounds of this invention in which the 3-amino group is alkylated, i.e., the compounds of Formula I in which one or both of R2 and R3 are lower alkyl, may be prepared by the following procedures.
Monomethylation is carried out by reacting the primary amine with methyl or ethyl formate and refluxing the resulting N-formyl compounds with a metallic hydride such as lithium aluminum hydride or sodium hydride, preferably in an ethereal solvent. The dimethylamino derivatives are obtained by treating the primary amine with a mixture of aqueous formaldehyde and formic acid.
The 3-alkylamino compounds of this invention may also be prepared as follows: ##SPC5##
The terms R, R1, R2, R3 and X are as defined hereabove.
An equimolar mixture of an o-halobenzonitrile and a lower alkanol are treated with dry hydrogen chloride to give the imino-ether which is reacted with an amine having the formula, R2 R3 NH, to give the amidine. Condensing the o-halobenzamidine with a hydrazine gives the 3-alkylaminoindazoles of this invention.
Certain of the compounds of this invention exist in polymorphic forms all of which are objects of this invention.
The course of the reactions described hereabove for the preparation of the compounds of Formula I in which R1 is lower alkyl or phenyl is uncertain. Therefore, although the structures have been written throughout the specification and claims with R1 in the 1-position, the compounds in which R1 is in the 2-position may be formed in certain instances and it is intended that they are also objects of this invention.
The 3-aminoindazole derivatives of this invention are preferably employed in pharmaceutical form in admixture with a pharmaceutical carrier. The pharmaceutical carrier may be either a solid or a liquid. Exemplary of solid carriers are lactose, magnesium stearate, terra alba, sucrose, talc, stearic acid, gelatin, agar, pectin and acacia. Exemplary of liquid carriers are peanut oil, olive oil, sesame oil and water. Similarly, the carrier or diluent may include a time delay material such as glyceryl monostearate or glyceryl distearate alone or with a wax.
A wide variety of pharmaceutical forms can be used. Thus if a solid carrier is used, the preparation can be in the form of a tablet, a pharmaceutical powder, a hard gelatin capsule, a troche or a lozenge. If a liquid carrier is used, the preparation can be in the form of a soft gelatin capsule or may be placed in an ampule or in a liquid suspension.
A dosage unit for internal administration comprises from about 25 mg. to about 350 mg., preferably from about 50 to about 200 mg. of active ingredient.
The administration may be parenterally or orally. Advantageously equal doses will be administered from one to four times daily. The daily dosage regimen will be from about 50 to about 350 mg., preferably from about 100 to about 250 mg. per day.
