Description

This application .Iadd.is a Reissue of Ser. No. 07/146,719, filed Feb. 21, 1988, U.S. Pat. No. 4,816,182, which is a .Iaddend.divisional of Ser. No. 844,970, filed Mar. 27, 1986, now abandoned.
FIELD OF THE INVENTION
The present invention relates to hypoglycemic agents useful as antidiabetic drugs.
BACKGROUND TO THE INVENTION
Hitherto, as antidiabetic drugs for oral use, there have been widely employed sulfonyl urea which shows hypoglycemic action particularly through a promotion of the secretion of insulin, and a biguanide which shows a hypoglycemic action particularly through the metabolism of sugar. However, they are somewhat unsatisfactory as to their side effects (see Textbook of Endocrinology 4th ed., 1968, p. 719 (Saunders); Diabetes, 19, 785, 1970; Ann. Rev. Pharmacol., 15, 351, 1975).
No report has ben found that a D-phenylalanine derivative possesses hypoglycemic action.
SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION AND DESCRIPTION OF PREFERRED EMBODIMENTS
According to one aspect of the invention there is provided for pharmaceutical, particularly hypoglycemic, use, a D-phenylalanine derivative represented by the general formula: ##STR3## or a salt thereof, or a precursor which can be converted thereto in the human or animal body. Such compounds can lower the value of blood sugar and thus can be used as an antidiabetic drug for an oral use as well as by injection.
Among the foregoing phenylalanine derivatives, those in the D-form represented by the general formula: ##STR4## and the salts thereof are novel.
In the above general formulae: R1 is hydrogen, alkyl of 1 to 5 carbon atoms such as methyl, ethyl, n-propyl, isopropyl, n-butyl, and sec-butyl, aryl of 6 to 12 carbon atoms such as phenyl, tolyl, naphthyl, and ##STR5## aralkyl of 6 to 12 atoms such as benzyl, ##STR6## --CH2 CO2 R3, --CH(CH3)--OCO--R3, or --CH2 --OCO--C(CH3)3, R2 is a group comprising aryl of 6 to 12 carbon atoms such as phenyl, naphthyl, and indanyl, a hetero six-membered ring such as quinolynyl, pyridyl, a hetero five-membered ring such as 2-benzofuranyl, cycloalkyl such as cyclohexyl and cyclopentyl, bicycloalkyl such as bicycloheptye, and cycloalkenyl such as 1-cyclohexenyl, 2-cyclohexeneyl, 3-cyclohexenyl, 1-cyclopentenyl and 2-cyclopentenyl, any of which groups optionally having one or more substituents; R3 is hydrogen or lower alkyl such as methyl, ethyl, isopropyl and pentyl; and R4 stands for those R2 groups which provide novel compounds hereof, notably phenyl which has one or more alkyl substituents of 2 to 5 carbon atoms, cyclohexyl which has one or more substituents cyclopentyl, bicycloalkyl, cycloalkenyl, indanyl or 2-benzofuranyl, any of which may have one or more substituents.
When an organic group in the above general formulae has a substituent, examples of such substituents include a halogen atom such as fluorine or chlorine, a hydroxyl group, a C1-5 alkyl group such as methyl, ethyl, trichloromethyl, trifluoromethyl, propyl, isopropyl, n-butyl, sec-butyl, and tert-butyl, a C1-5 alkenyl group such as ethenyl, propenyl, and butenyl, an alkylidene group such as ##STR7## a C1-5 alkyloxy such as methoxy and ethoxy, a C1-5 alkyl group which has been substituted by such C1-5 alkyloxy group such as methoxymethyl and 1-ethoxyethyl, a C1-5 alkylene group which has been substituted by such C1-5 alkyloxy group in the same manner as above such as 1-methoxyethylene. In the case of a substituted bicycloalkyl group as stated above, it can include a bicycloheptyl or a derivative thereof such as bicyclo (2,2,1)heptyl.
In the case of the compound represented by the general formula (I) wherein R1 stands for a hydrogen atom, it can be formed by conventional methods via the salts thereof with various cations such as an alkali metal, for example sodium and potassium, an alkali earth metal, for example, calcium, an inorganic base, for example, ammonia, an organic base, for example, cyclohexylamine, N-methyl-D-glucosamine, or a basic amino acid (lysine, arginine and the like).
The D-phenylalanine derivative as shown by the formula (I) mentioned above, can be prepared by using conventional N-acylating reactions as in the Examples given below.
Most of the phenylalanine derivatives supplied by this invention are novel compounds which have not been described yet in the literature.
The D-phenylalanine derivatives used in the present invention are useful as a hypoglycemic agent for treating diabetic mammals including humans. The derivatives can be used for lowering blood sugar by formulating them into a preparation such as tablets, capsules, and elixirs for oral administration and into an aseptic liquid preparation or an aseptic suspension preparation for parenteral administration such as subcutaneous, intramuscular, intavenous injection, and suppositories. The D-phenylalamine derivatives in the present invention can be administered to a subject necessitating such treatment (animals and humans) in a dosage range of 0.1 to 1,000 mg per subject generally several times a day, that is, in a total daily dosage of 0.2 to 2,000 mg. The dosages varies according to the seriousness of disease, the body weight of subjects, and other factors acknowledged by those skilled in the art.
To produce the preparations using the D-phenylalanine derivatives as described above for the present invention, they may be converted to dosage forms such as tablets, granules, powders, capsules, injections and suppositories by conventional methods.
For the production of oral preparations, there may be added the to the D-phenylalanine derivative as the principal agent, adjuvants such as fillers, binders, disintegrators, lubricants, colors, and correctives, as necessary, and then formed by conventional methods into tablets, coated tablets, granules, powders, capsules and the like.
Examples of specific materials which can be incorporated into tablets, capsules, and so forth are as follows: fillers such as cornstarch, lactose, white sugar, glucose, sorbitol, and crystalline cellulose; binders such as polyvinyl alcohol, polyvinyl ether, ethyl cellulose, methyl cellulose, gum arabic, tragacanth gelatine, shellac, hydroxypropyl cellulose, hydroxypropyl starch, polyvinyl pyrrolidone; disintegrators such as starch, agar, gelatine powder, crystalline cellulose, calcium carbonate, sodium bicarbonate, calcium citrate, dextrin and pectin; lubricants such as magnesium stearate, talc, polyethylene glycol, silica, hardened plant oil; colors such as one which is allowed as an additive for the medicines; correctives such as cocoa powder, mentha herb, aromatic acid, mentha oil, borneol, cinnamon bark powder. These tables and granules may be coated with sugar, gelatine, or the like, as desired.
For the production of the injectable formulations, there may be added to the phenylalanine derivative as the principal agent, a pH adjusting agent, a buffer agent, a stabilizing agent, preservatives or the like, as necessary to produce a material for subcutaneous, intramuscular or intravenous injection by conventional methods.

EXAMPLE 12 N-Cyclopentylcarbonyl-D-phenylalanine
Cyclopentane carboxylic acid (1.5 g, 13 mmole) was dissolved in chloroform (50 ml), and N-hydroxysuccinimide 1.7 g was added. N,N'-Dicyclohexylcarbodiimide (3.0 g) was gradually added to the mixture as obtained above while stirring and cooling with ice, and the mixture was stirred for 1 hour at the same temperature. The mixture was further stirred for 7 hours at room temperature. Glacial acetic acid (2 ml) was added to the mixture, and stirred for 1 hour. The insoluble matter was removed by filtration. The filtrate was washed with saturated aqueous sodium bicarbonate solution (30 ml), 1N aqueous hydrochloric acid solution (30 ml), and water (30 ml), and dried over magnesium sulfate. The magnesium sulfate was removed by filtration, and the solution thus obtained was concentrated under reduced pressure to dryness. The matter was recrystallized from ethyl acetate to afford cyclopentane carboxylic acid N-hydroxysuccinimide ester (2.5 g, yield 91%).
The ester derivative thus obtained above (2.5 g), was dissolved in chloroform (20 ml). This solution was added to a chloroform solution (40 ml) of D-phenylalanine methyl ester hydrochloride (3.0 g, 14 mmole) and triethylamine (1.4 g), and the mixture thus obtained was stirred for 18 hours at room temperature. The reaction solution was washed with 1N aqueous hydrochloric acid solution (40 ml), saturated aqueous sodium bicarbonate solution (40 ml) and water (40 ml), and dried over magnesium sulfate. The magnesium sulfate was removed by filtration and the filtrate was concentrated under reduced pressure to dryness. The matter was recrystallized from ethyl acetate-n-hexane to afford N-cyclopentylcarbonyl-D-phenylalanine methyl ester (3.0 g, yield 84%).
The methyl ester derivative (3.0 g) thus obtained above, was dissolved in methanol (10 ml), and 1N aqueous sodium hydroxide solution (20 ml) was added. The mixture was stirred for 30 minutes at room temperature and then made acidic with an addition of a dilute hydrochloric acid to precipitate crystals. The crystals were filtered, washed with water, and recrystallized from methanol-water to give the desired product (2.7 g, yield 80%).

EXAMPLE 19 N-(4-Isopropylcyclohexylcarbonyl)-D-phenylalanine
Platinum oxide (200 mg) as a catalyst was suspended in acetic acid (20 ml), and then (s)-(-)perillic acid (2 g, 12 mmole) was added. The mixture thus obtained was stirred for 8 hours at room temperature under a current of hydrogen gas. The catalyst was removed by filtration, and the filtrate was concentrated under reduced pressure to a dryness. The matter was recrystallized from methanol-water to obtain 4-isopropyl cyclohexane carboxylic acid (1.9 g, yield 93%).
After that, in the same manner as the reaction in Example 1, N-(4-isopropylcyclohexylcarbonyl)-D-phenylalanine was produced. It was crystallized from methanol-water to give the desired product (2.5 g, yield 61%).

EXAMPLE 20
ICR-CDI mice (Male, five weeks old, Body weight: 20 g) which had been bred for one week, were abstained from food for 18 hours, and then used as test subjects.
The phenylalanine derivative of the present invention was suspended in 0.5% CMC-0.05M tris-hydrochloride buffer (pH 7.4). The sample solution thus obtained was administered orally in fixed amounts to the test subjects. A predetermined time later, the percentage decrease in blood glucose with the comparison to the control group was determined. The results are shown in the following table.

EXAMPLE 21 N-Cumoyl-D-Phenylalanine
Cumic acid (15.0 g, 91 mmole) was dissolved in chloroform (150 ml), and N-hydroxysuccinimide (11.4 g, 99 mmole) was added thereto. N,N'-Dicyclohexylcarbodiimide (20.4 g, 99 mmole) was added gradually to the mixture obtained above while cooling with ice and stirring, and then the mixture thus obtained was returned to room temperature. The mixture was further stirred for 15 hours at room temperature. Glacial acetic acid (5 ml) was added thereto, and the mixture thus obtained was stirred and the insoluble matter was removed by filtration. The filtrate was washed with saturated aqueous sodium bicarbonate (300 ml) and water (300 ml), and dried over magnesium sulfate. The magnesium sulfate was removed by filtration, and the filtrate thus obtained was concentrated under reduced pressure to dryness. The resultant substance was recrystallized from ethyl acetate to obtain cumic acid N-hydroxysuccinimide ester (18.8 g, yield 72 mmole).
The ester thus obtained above (18.8 g) was added to the chloroform solution (150 ml) of D-phenylalanine methyl ester hydrochloride (23.0 l g, 110 mmole) and triethylamine (10.8 g, 110 mmole), and the mixture thus obtained was stirred for 15 hours at room temperature. The reaction solution was washed with 1N aqueous hydrochloric acid solution (300 ml), saturated aqueous sodium bicarbonate (300 ml) and water (300ml) and dried over magnesium sulfate. The magnesium sulfate thus used was removed by filtration, and the filtrate thus obtained was concentrated under reduced pressure to dryness.
The residue thus obtained was recrystallized from ethyl acetate-n-hexane to obtain N-cumoyl-D-phenylalanine methyl ester (20.5 g, yield 69%).
The methyl ester thus obtained above (20.5 g) was dissolved in methanol (100 ml), and then 1N aqueous sodium hydroxide (100 ml) was added thereto. The mixture thus obtained was stirred for 10 minutes at room temperature, and was made acidic with an addition of diluted aqueous hydrochloric acid solution to precipitate crystals. The crystals were filtered, washed with water and recrystallized from methanol-water to give the desired product (18.1 g, yield 64%).

EXAMPLE 31 N-(trans-4-isopropylcyclohexylcarbonyl)-D-phenylalanine
Platinum oxide (500 mg) as a catalyst was suspended in acetic acid (50 ml) and cumic acid (10 g, 61 mmole) was added thereto. The mixture thus obtained was stirred vigorously for 2 hours at room temperature under a pressure of hydrogen 5 kg/cm2. The catalyst was removed by filtration, and the filtrate was concentrated under reduced pressure to a solid state. The resultant substance was distilled under reduced pressure of 1 mmHg (1.3×10-3 kg/cm2), at 113°-116° C. to obtain 4-isopropylcyclohexane carboxylic acid yielding 10 g (96%) in a ratio of 3 parts of cis-form per 1 part of trans-form by weight.
To methanol (70 ml) at less than -20° C., thionyl chloride (17 ml) was added dropwise, and the carboxylic acid (10 g) as obtained above was added. The mixture thus obtained was stirred for 15 hours at room temperature, and then concentrated under reduced pressure to a solid substance. The substance thus obtained was distilled under reduced pressure of 0.7 mmHg (9.2×10-4 kg/cm2) at 66° C. to obtain 4-isopropylcyclohexane carboxylic acid methyl ester (9.5 g, yield 88%).
To the methyl ester (b 9.5 g) thus obtained, sodium hydride (120 mg) was added, and the mixture was heated at 150° C. for 2 hours under a current of nitrogen gas. The reaction solution was cooled and then subjected to a reduced pressure distillation of 0.7 mmHG (9.2×10-4 kg/cm2) at 66° C. to obtain 4-isopropylcyclohexane carboxylic acid methyl ester in a ratio of 6 parts trans-form per 1 part cis-form.
The methyl ester (9.0 g) thus obtained was dissolved in methanol (50 ml), and 1N aqueous sodium hydroxide solution (50 ml) was added thereto. The mixture thus obtained was stirred for 10 minutes at room temperature and made acidic with an addition of a dilute aqueous hydrochloric acid solution to precipitate crystals. The crystals were filtered, washed with water, and crystallized from methanol-water to give trans-4-isopropylcyclohexane carboxylic acid (6.8 g, yield 78%).
After that, in the same manner as in Example 21, using as a starting material the carboxylic acid derivative (6.8 g, 40 mmole), N-(trans-4-isopropylcyclohexylcarbonyl)-D-phenylalanine was produced, and recrystallized from methanol-water to give the desired product (8.2 g, yield 65%).
