Definitions
- R is an alkyl radical containing 1 to 4 carbon atoms, e.g. methyl, ethyl, propyl, butyl, or an alkenyl radical containing normally 3 to 4 carbon atoms, e.g. allyl, butenyl; and each of R and R is also an akyl radical containing 1 to 4 carbon atoms; or hydrogen, provided, however, that when one of the moieties represented by R and R" is hydrogen, the other is an alkyl radical.
- R and R" may be joined to provide a single alkylene radical containing from 4 to carbon atoms, and preferably 4 to 6 carbon atoms, the terminal carbons of which are thus attached to the single nitrogen atom to constitute a heterocyclic nitrogen-containing moiety, e.g. piperidino, pyrrolidino; or R and R may each be an alkylene radical connected at their terminal carbons positioned remote from the nitrogen atom through a hetero component, such as a chalcogen, for example, oxygen, to constitute a heterocyclic radical such as a morpholino group.
- a hetero component such as a chalcogen, for example, oxygen
- Illustrative of these compounds are 3-methoXy-4-N,N- diethylcarbamidomethoxy-phenylacetic acid ethyl ester, 3 methoxy 4 N tert. butylcarbamidomethoxyphenylacetic acid ethyl ester, 3-rnethoxy-4-pyrrolidinocarbamidomethoXy-phenylacetic acid ethyl ester, 3- methoxy 4-N,N-diethylcarbamidomethoxy-phenylacctic acid-n-propyl ester, 3-methoXy-4-N,N-diethylcarbamidomethoXy-phenylacetic acid methyl ester, and 3-rnethoxy- 4 N,N diethylcarbamidomethoxy phenylacetic acid-nbutyl ester.
- the procedure for preparing the compounds of the invention are standard, and include, for example, the reaction of homovanillic acid alkyl or alkenyl esters with N-monoor N,N-dialkylated haloacetamides or with other reactive esters of N-alkylated glycollic acid amides in the presence of alkaline condensation agents.
- lower esters of homovanillic acid are preferably used, such as the methyl, ethyl, propyl, butyl, or allyl ester, with chloracetamides to the nitrogen atom of which is attached one or two 'alkyl radicals, each containing 1 to 4 carbon atoms, or a single alkylene radical, the terminal carbons of which are attached to the nitrogen atom to provide a heterocyclic amino moiety; or a ring structure wherein a plurality of carbon atoms are interrupted by, for example, a chalcogen atom to provide, by way of illustration, a morpholino group.
- the preferred and corresponding nitrogen substituents of the reactant chloracetamides are suitably characterized by the values R and R" of the general formula above defining the products of the invention.
- Illustrative of these amides are N-tert.-butyl-chloracetamide, N-propyl-ehloracetamide, N,N-diethyl-chloracetamide, chloracetyl-pyrrolidine, chloracetyl-piperidine and chloracetyl-morpholine.
- the alcohol corresponding to the ester is expediently used as a solvent.
- sodium alcoholate is especially suitable.
- hydroXyl group-free solvents such as toluene may likewise be used.
- the sodium compound of the ester used as a starting material is initially prepared by procedures well-known to those skilled in the art.
- a solvent which is particularly preferred for the conversion of these sodium phenolates is dimethylformamide in which sodium compounds are readily soluble.
- Another method of preparation consists in esterifying appropriate N-alkyl-substituted 3 methoxy 4 carbamidomethoXy-phenylacetic acids with saturated or unsaturated aliphatic alcohols according to known methods.
- Lower N alkyl substituted 3-methoXy-4-carbamidomethoxy-phenylacetic acid alkyl esters such as the methyl ester may also be converted into the corresponding higher esters by transesterification with higher alcohols.
- N-alkyl-substituted 3-methoXy-4-carbamidomethoxy-phenylacetic acid alkyl and alkenyl esters encompassed by the general formula and obtained as described above are, as indicated, valuable agents for inducing narcosis.
- these compounds When administered to a subject intravenously, these compounds are capable of inducing a relatively brief narcotizing effect, as well as one of a depth and duration suilicient and efficacious for performance of surgery on the treated subject, while efiecting a rapid inception and withdrawal of the desired and operative degree of narcosis, thus providing a significantly more rapid return to street capacity in treated subjects than is available with narcotic agents employed for like purposes heretofore.
- Stage of narcosis VI corresponds, according to Magnus-Girndt, to deep narcosis with complete absence of reflexes; stage of nareosis IV corresponds to lateral position, the corneal and pinching reflexes being maintained.
- the period between the stages of narcosis VI and IV is an approximate measure of the time available for operation.
- the compounds of the invention effect the attainment in mammalian subjects of a like depth of narcosis to that achieved by compositions Widely known and employed heretofore, but differing from these latter compositions in the reduced total time of narcosis attained thereby; that is the period of time elapsed from the onset of the narcotized state to the disappearance of all narcotic symptoms, and hence a return to normal functioning of the subject, e.g. the street capacity of the individual.

4 3 -OCH:
dnioooR wherein R is an alkyl radical containing 1 to 4 carbon atoms, e.g. methyl, ethyl, propyl, butyl, or an alkenyl radical containing normally 3 to 4 carbon atoms, e.g. allyl, butenyl; and each of R and R is also an akyl radical containing 1 to 4 carbon atoms; or hydrogen, provided, however, that when one of the moieties represented by R and R" is hydrogen, the other is an alkyl radical. Alternatively, R and R" may be joined to provide a single alkylene radical containing from 4 to carbon atoms, and preferably 4 to 6 carbon atoms, the terminal carbons of which are thus attached to the single nitrogen atom to constitute a heterocyclic nitrogen-containing moiety, e.g. piperidino, pyrrolidino; or R and R may each be an alkylene radical connected at their terminal carbons positioned remote from the nitrogen atom through a hetero component, such as a chalcogen, for example, oxygen, to constitute a heterocyclic radical such as a morpholino group.
Illustrative of these compounds are 3-methoXy-4-N,N- diethylcarbamidomethoxy-phenylacetic acid ethyl ester, 3 methoxy 4 N tert. butylcarbamidomethoxyphenylacetic acid ethyl ester, 3-rnethoxy-4-pyrrolidinocarbamidomethoXy-phenylacetic acid ethyl ester, 3- methoxy 4-N,N-diethylcarbamidomethoxy-phenylacctic acid-n-propyl ester, 3-methoXy-4-N,N-diethylcarbamidomethoXy-phenylacetic acid methyl ester, and 3-rnethoxy- 4 N,N diethylcarbamidomethoxy phenylacetic acid-nbutyl ester.
The procedure for preparing the compounds of the invention are standard, and include, for example, the reaction of homovanillic acid alkyl or alkenyl esters with N-monoor N,N-dialkylated haloacetamides or with other reactive esters of N-alkylated glycollic acid amides in the presence of alkaline condensation agents. As starting substances, lower esters of homovanillic acid are preferably used, such as the methyl, ethyl, propyl, butyl, or allyl ester, with chloracetamides to the nitrogen atom of which is attached one or two 'alkyl radicals, each containing 1 to 4 carbon atoms, or a single alkylene radical, the terminal carbons of which are attached to the nitrogen atom to provide a heterocyclic amino moiety; or a ring structure wherein a plurality of carbon atoms are interrupted by, for example, a chalcogen atom to provide, by way of illustration, a morpholino group. Thus, the preferred and corresponding nitrogen substituents of the reactant chloracetamides are suitably characterized by the values R and R" of the general formula above defining the products of the invention. Illustrative of these amides are N-tert.-butyl-chloracetamide, N-propyl-ehloracetamide, N,N-diethyl-chloracetamide, chloracetyl-pyrrolidine, chloracetyl-piperidine and chloracetyl-morpholine. In order to prevent a transesterification, the alcohol corresponding to the ester is expediently used as a solvent. As a condensation agent, sodium alcoholate is especially suitable. However, hydroXyl group-free solvents such as toluene may likewise be used. In this case, the sodium compound of the ester used as a starting material is initially prepared by procedures well-known to those skilled in the art. A solvent which is particularly preferred for the conversion of these sodium phenolates is dimethylformamide in which sodium compounds are readily soluble.
Another method of preparation consists in esterifying appropriate N-alkyl-substituted 3 methoxy 4 carbamidomethoXy-phenylacetic acids with saturated or unsaturated aliphatic alcohols according to known methods. Lower N alkyl substituted 3-methoXy-4-carbamidomethoxy-phenylacetic acid alkyl esters such as the methyl ester may also be converted into the corresponding higher esters by transesterification with higher alcohols.
The N-alkyl-substituted 3-methoXy-4-carbamidomethoxy-phenylacetic acid alkyl and alkenyl esters encompassed by the general formula and obtained as described above are, as indicated, valuable agents for inducing narcosis. When administered to a subject intravenously, these compounds are capable of inducing a relatively brief narcotizing effect, as well as one of a depth and duration suilicient and efficacious for performance of surgery on the treated subject, while efiecting a rapid inception and withdrawal of the desired and operative degree of narcosis, thus providing a significantly more rapid return to street capacity in treated subjects than is available with narcotic agents employed for like purposes heretofore. This characteristic of the compounds of the invention is, of course, of decisive importance in instances of minor surgery where brief but relatively profound narcosis and, indeed, attainment of the complete tolerance stage, is required together with a rapid return to normal awareness and function on the part of the treated subject.
By way of illustrating the aforesaid advantages inherent in the esters described herein, 3-methoxy-4-N,N-dicthylcarbamidomethoxy-phenylacetic -acid-n-propyl ester, obtained by the practice of the invention, has been compared with the known narcotizing agent, S-methyl-S-cycloheXenyl-N-methyl-barbituric acid sodium salt. The results obtained by intravenousadministration to dogs is indicated in the following table:
3-methoxy-4-N, N-diethylcarbamidomethoxy-phenylacetie acid-m pronyl ester.
2 5-methyl-5-cyclohcxcnyl-N-rnethyhbarbituric acid.
1 Stage of narcosis VI corresponds, according to Magnus-Girndt, to deep narcosis with complete absence of reflexes; stage of nareosis IV corresponds to lateral position, the corneal and pinching reflexes being maintained. The period between the stages of narcosis VI and IV is an approximate measure of the time available for operation.
Similar results have been attained in tests undertaken with rabbits.
It has thus been determined that at equivalent dosages, the compounds of the invention effect the attainment in mammalian subjects of a like depth of narcosis to that achieved by compositions Widely known and employed heretofore, but differing from these latter compositions in the reduced total time of narcosis attained thereby; that is the period of time elapsed from the onset of the narcotized state to the disappearance of all narcotic symptoms, and hence a return to normal functioning of the subject, e.g. the street capacity of the individual.
The following examples are further illustrative of the invention.
