SUMMARY 206

--:oOo:— CHAPTER INTRODUCTION

The chemistry and pharmacology of P-phenylethyl- has been widely studied after the discovery of their actions on the sjnnpathetic nervous system. Because they mimic the action of the naturally occurring amines of the sympathetic nervous system, they are also known as sympatho- mimetic amines. The observation of 7ulpias in 1856 that the secretion of the adrenal medulla could raise the blood pressure in laboratory animals and in man, led . a number of workers to investigate the chemistry and pharmacology of related amines. Barger and Dale^ in their comprehensive investigation synthesized a number of compounds having in common the P-phenylethylamine grouping (I).

(I)

Interest in the naturally occurring and synthetic P-phenylethyT.amines was further increased when Sp§th^ in 1919 recognised the presence of P-phenylethylamine skeleton in the structure of Mescaline, i.e. P-3,4,5-trimethoxyphenylethyl- (II), the active hallucinogenic principle of 2

mescatbuttoa or pellote.

(XIII) (Trichocereine) NjN-dimethylmescallne The pharmacological study of P-phenyletl^lamines has been mainly coacerned with their action on the blood pressure and on the bronchodilator properties. Various reviews^^'^'^ have appeared from time to time and hence only the salient features of structure activity relation- ship are highlighted here,

P-phenylethylamine molecule has been studied for the structucpe activity relationship from the following aspects.

cL I / c -c- N o \

1. Effect of substitution on nitrogen 2. Effect of substitution on the c(- and P- carbon atoms 3. Effect of substitution on the benzene nucleus.

1. Effect of Substitution on Nitrogen

It has not been possible to draw overall conclusions 7 regarding the effect of alkyl substitution on the amino nitrogen. But in general it appears that the N-methyl compounds are less active^®'^® than the corresponding primary amines but this generalization has also exceptions, p-3,4-dihydroxyphenethylamine'^^ (XI7) is four times less active than its -N-CH3 derivative'^! (X7).

NH- R HO

(XIV) R=H

(XV) R = CH;

In many cases, the decrease in pressor activity is accompanied by a rise in toxicity of the derivatives^S, This holds true even for dialkylated compounds. Tertiary amines of this series become less active and more toxic as the size of the alkyl group is increased and many of them no longer possess pressor action.

The effect of N-alkylation of p-phenyletliylamine having alkyl groups such as ethyl, propyl, butyl or benzyl has shown that these N-alkylated compounds are less active than 8 the parent substance, p-phenylethylamine, and N-phenylethyl- ethylene-diamine (XVI) in smaller doses has no effect on blood pressure but at a dose of 20 mgAg produces a transient fall of blood pressure^"^.

2, Effect of substitution on the oc-carbon atom

Amongst the various possible substituents at the o(-carbon atom, the methyl group has received the most atten- tion. The presence of a methyl group on the o(-carbon atom consistently reduces the pressor activity and tends to increase the toxicity but confers greater stability to the molecule against an enzymatic attack and also the compounds can be orally administered, p-phenylethylamine is inactive when taken by mouth but its o(-.methyl derivative, benzedrine (XVII), is active and the duration of action is also longer^^; Benzedrine has been employed in therapy as an analeptic drug. When the alkyl group is larger than methyl, the pressor activity further decreases and toxicity also increases. The N-methyl derivative of benzedrine (Pervitin) (XVIII) has been 9

employed clinically as an antifatigue agent2 9

The influence of other groups has not been adequately investigated.

3. Effect of Substitution on g-carbon Atom

Introduction of a methyl group on the P-carbon atom enhances the pressor activity as compared with the c(-methyl substitu- tion'^*As the size of the alkyl group on p-carbon atom is increased, pressor activity decreases and toxicity increases'^. The effect of an amino group on p-carbon atom leads to bronchodilator action. Thus l-(3;4-dihydroxy- phenyl)-l-amino(2-methylamino)ethane (XXII) has been claimed to posses bronchodilator action^^. 11

4. Effect of substitatloQ In the pheayl aucleus

The effect of a monosubstitoted phenolic hydroscy group such as in Tyramine and the effect of disubstituted hydroxyl groups in epinephrine is well known. It has been well established that the presence of the two hydroxyl groups in catechol structure produces a higher physiological activity. It is, however, interesting to observe that analogous derivatives'with three hydroxyl grou^js exhibit less pressor activity than those compounds having only the catechol structure, Alkylation or acylation of the phenolic hydroxyl group leads to less active compounds. But, however, powerful pressor activity has been exhibited by the compounds of the type (XXIII)

R = OCH, (XXIII) 12

In case of other alkoxy substituted derivatives, oo A, Gee sink and W.A. den Hartog Jager reported that mescaline has no effect on arterial pressure whereas P-3,4-dimethoxy- phenylethylamine at a dose of 100 mgA^g increases the arterial pressure by 20 per cent in cat. The effect of p-alkoxy- substituents having an alkoxy group ranging from methoxy to nonoxy was studied for their inhibiting action on both iso- lated smooth organs and in intact animals. It was observed that the inhibitory action increases as the size of the alkyl group increases upto hexyloxy and thereafter the activity falls^^^ Benington et al investigated the effect of alkyl group particularly of methyl grou?) and reported that N-methyl-3,4-dimethyl and 3,4-trimetl:^l- phenylethylamine causesa rapid increase of blood pressure^^.

The effect of halogen substituted in the nucleus has not been investigated systematically. The effect of chlorine in para position confers more activity on the

Parent P-phenylethylamine, whereas the introduction of fluorine in the nucleus increases the toxicity by 30-40 44 per cent

PRESENT WORK

It is evident from the above literature that the effects of an N-acylamino and N-alkylamino substituents on the N-atom have not been investigated. It was, therefore, thought worthwhile to undertake a systematic investigation of the alkoxy substituted phenylethylamines having an 13 acylamino and alkylamino substitueats on the amino nitrogen. In the present investigation compounds of the following types (A), (B) and (C) have been synthesised and tested for their pharmacological behaviour in experimental animals,

Compounds of series 'A' are intermediates for the synthesis of compounds of series where the terminal chlorine of the series 'A' is replaced by a variety of groups such as diethylamine, morpholine, piperidine, pyrrolidine and 2-, 3-, or 4-methylpiperidine. However, the compounds of series 'A' are also of interest because of their structural resemblance to N-ben2yl-p-chloropropionamide (Hibicon) (XXIV)

CH2—NH —CO—CHj— CH2—CI

(XXIV) 15 which was introduced into therapy as an antiepileptic drug and was later on withdrawn from therapeutic use because of its toxicity. Compounds belonging to series 'A' were obtained by reacting chloroacetyl, 2- and 3-ehloropropionylchlorides with various P-phenylethylamines in alkaline medium. These are described in experimental part of Chapter II,

Compounds of series 'C were obtained by reduction of compounds represented by series 'B' with lithium aluminium hydride in tetrahydrofuran and also by the direct condensation of the basic alkylchlorides with p-phenylethylamines.

A glance at structures 'A', 'B' and 'C shows that the compounds of series 'A' are neutral, those of 'B' are basic amides and those of structures 'C are diamines. It is possible that the differences in physiological activity of compounds in these series may be related to the basicity of the compounds and one of the ideas behind the synthesis of these compounds was to find such correlations.

Pharmacology

The compounds synthesised during the course of the present work have been sent for pharmacological screening in experimental animals. Pharmacological screening takes considerable time and the data about all the compounds is not yet available. The data as far as has been received till the time of writing of the thesis, is discussed in Chapter V, 16

N-CHLOROACYL~p-PHEN¥LETHYLAMINES

N-chloroacyl-p-phenylethylamines were required for the synthesis of N-aminoacyl-p-phenylethylamines and also for pharmacological screening.

Most of the chloroacylaryl amides which have been studied so far are derived from ben2ylamines and were prepared primarily for testing for anticonvulsant activity against electroshock and audiogenic seizures^"One of the compounds viz, N-3-chloropropionylbenzylamine(XXIV) was introduced in therapy under the name of Hibicon® and was later withdrawn on account of its toxic effects.

is also used as an antispasmodic and has been claimed to be active over a wide range.

The chloroacyl amides derived from P-phenylethyl- amines have not been systematically studied so far excepting for the recent work of Sidhu, Sattur, Ansari, Rao and Zaheer of this laboratory, who synthesised compounds of the follow- ing general structure

None of these compounds showed promise as Central Nervous System (CNS) depressants and did not afford any pro- tection against electroshock seizures in mice. The present work was designed to prepare similar compounds with alkoxy substituents in the benzene ring. 21

Present work

Some N-chloroacyl-P-pheaylethylamines described in Table 2, 3 and 4 were prepared by condensation of chloro- acylchlorides such as chloroacetyl chloride, 2-, and 3-chloro- propionyl chlorides with p-phenylethylamines described in Table 1, The p-phenylethylamines were prepared by methods described in literature.

Preparation of Aldehydes

Anisaldehyde, vanillin, 3-etho3cy-4-hydroxy- benzaldehyde and piperonal were the commercial samples. 3,4-Dimethoxybenzaldehyde, 3-methoxy-4-ethoxy benzalde- hyde were prepared by methylating and ethylating vanillin with dimethylsulphate and diethylsulphate respectively. 3,4-Diethoxybenzaldehyde was prepared by ethylating 3~ethoxy-4-hydro3{ybenzaldehyde with diethylsulphate.

Preparation of substituted Cinnamic acids

A mixture of the appropriately substituted benzaldehyde (l mole) malonic acid (1.3 mole) dry pyridine (2 mole) and 3-5 ml. of piperidine per mole was gradually heated to 90-95°C and maintained at this temperature for 3 hours. It was then refluxed gently for another hour, till the evolution of carbondioxide ceased. The hot mixture was poured in 25^ cold HCl, the acid content being 1.5 molar equivalent of pyridine used. The solid cinnamic acid was filtered, washed with water. The product was usually pure enough for further reactions.

The substituted cinnamic acids prepared by the above procedure are listed in Table 5. 28

Reduction of clnnamlc acids to the corresponding P-phenyl- proplonle acids

The clnnamlc acids described In Table 5 were reduced to the corresponding P-phenylproplonlc acids by (a) sodium amalgam and (b) by catalytic hydrogenatIon.

(a) Sodium amalgam reduction

The substituted clnnamlc acid (35 g) was dissolved in aqueous sodium hydroxide solution (lOOO ml; 0.]5 per cent). Freshly prepared sodium amalgam (750 g; 3 per cent) was added in small portions during ten hours with continuous stirring. The supernatant liquid was filtered off and the filtrate after concentrating to half the volume was acidified with cone, hydrochloric acid. The P-phenylpropionic acid which separated out was filtered and dried. The acids were sufficiently pure for the next step,

(b) Catalytic hydrogenatlon

A suspension of pure substituted clnnamlc acid (300 g) in (lOOO ml) containing Pd/C catalyst (3 g; 105^) was hydrogenated in a medium pressure hydrogenatlon unit. The contents were stirred at 60-65°, The absorption of one molar equivalent of hydrogen was complete within 30 to 45 minutes (55 kg/cm^). The mixture after cooling was filtered free of catalyst, and after removal of most of the solvent, the residue was poured in excess of water. 30

The white shiny crystalline hydrocinnamic acid was filtered and dried. Table 6 describes the substituted p-phenyl- propionic acids.

PreparatioD of substituted p~phenylproploaamlde

Amides of the phenylpropionic acids described in Table 7 were prepared according to procedures described below.

Method 'A'

Amides of 3,4-dimethoxy, 3,4-diethoxy and 3-methoxy- 4-etho3qr phenylpropionic acid were prepared as follows:-

30 g of the appropriately substituted phenylpro- pionic acid was heated on an oil bath at 210-220®C and dry ammonia was bubbled through the melt for 3-4 hours. The hot syrupy mass was poured in cold dry benzene (150 ml) and cooled. The solid separated out in fine crystals, which Was filtered and was pure enough for Hoffmann reaction.

Method 'B'

4-methoxy and 3,4-methylenedio3cy phenylpropionic acid were converted into amide through their acid chloride.

(i) 4-methoxyphenyl)propionamide

P-4-methoxyphenylpropionic acid (25 g) was refluxed with thionyl chloride (25 ml) for one hour. The excess of thionyl chloride was removed under suction, and acid chloride was poured slowly with shaking to an ice-cold solution of ammonia (400 ml). The solid which separated was collected and washed with cold water. 32

(ii) P-(3,4-'methylanedioxyphenyl)proploQamlde

The acid (l7 g) was dissolved in chloroform (55 cc) and allowed to react at room temperature for five hours with 12 cc. of freshly distilled thionyl chloride. The reaction mixture was poured into a solution containing 250 cc. ammonia (30 per cent) and 7,5 g caustic soda and was shaken vigorously for a few minutes. The chloroform layer was separated and after removal of solvent, residue was poured in cold water. The white solid was filtered and crystallised with methanol.

The amides are described in Table 7.

Preparation of p-phenylethylamines

The amides described in Table 7 were subjected to the Hofftaann reaction with sodium hypochlorite or sodium hypobrpmite.

p-4-methoxy, 3,4-dimethoxy, 3,4-diethoxy, and 3- methoxy-4-ethoxyphenylpropionamides (30 g) were suspended in a freshly prepared sodium hypochlorite solution (0.5 N, 500 ml.) and heated at 80^0 for 2 hours with occasional shaking. An oily layer of amine separated. The contents were cooled and potassium hydroxide (60 g) was added and heated for additional 20-30 minutes at 90°C, The mixture was cooled and extracted with benzene. After removal of the solvent, the residue was distilled under vacuum,

p-(3,4-methylenedioxyphenyl)propionamide was converted into corresponding p-phenylethylamine by Hofftaann reaction using sodium hjrpobromite solution.

To 14 g of finely powdered amide in 130 cc, water was added 130 cc, sodium hypobromite solution prepared by dropwise addition of 13,5 g of bromine to a cooled 130 cc, 255^ caustic soda solution with mechanical stirring. The mixture was shaken vigorously till all the amide dissolved and then heated at 70°C for an hour; After cooling to room temperature, 40 g of caustic soda was added and mixture heated for a further fifteen minutes at 80°C, then cooled 34 and extracted with ether. The amine was distilled after removal of ether.

The substituted p-phenylethylamines prepared by this method are described in Table 1,

Reaction of 2-chloroacetyl chloride, 2-chloro-, and 3-chloro- propionyl chloride with various substituted P-phenylethylamines

The chloroacetyl chloride, 2-chloro-, and 3-chloro- propionyl chlorides were obtained by the action of thionyl chloride on monochloroacetic acid, 2-chloro-, and 3-chloro- propionic acids respectively.

General procedure

The appropriate chloroacyl chloride (0,1 mole) and an aqueous sodium hydroxide solution (130 ml., 8 per cent) were simultaneously added dropwise to a stirred suspension of the p-phenylethylamine (0,1 mole) in (50 ml) water at 0-5°C. The rate of addition of caustic soda was adjusted to maintain the alkalinity of the reaction mixture throughout. Stirring was continued at 0-5°C for 30 minutes and then at room temperature for an hour. The supernatant liquid was decanted off and the solid product thus obtained was tri- turated with dilute hydrochloric acid (l:l) to remove any unreacted amine. It was filtered washed with water and dried, and crystallized with aqueous methanol.

The compounds thus prepared are described below: 35

N-MINOACYL-P-PHENILETHYL AMINES

This chapter describes the preparation of N-amino- acyl-P-phenylethylamines of the following general formula (XXVIII)

(XXVIII)

where R^ and R2 stand for H, methoxy in para position, 3:4- dimethoxy, 3-methoxy-4-ethoxy, 3:4-diethoxy and 3:4-methylene- dioxy groups. Y stands for alkyl chain such as -GHp-, -CH~, and -CH2-CH2- and -N z represents diethylamine, CH3 morpholine, piperidine, pyrrolidine and =<, p and Y-pipecolines.

Compounds containing -NH-CO-linkage exhibit a variety of physiological actions and many of these compounds are employed in therapeutic practice as hypnotics, sedatives, anti- convulsants, local anesthetics and tranquillizers.

1. H3^notics and sedatives

Of the various hypnotics available, barbiturates hold a distinct and dominant place. Barbiturates are the 45 derivatives derived from barbituric acid (XXIX) having various substitueats in position 5.

(XXIX)

The chemistry and pharmacology of barbiturates has been investigated thoroughly for the last over fifty years. The barbiturates act chiefly by depressing the central nervous system, especially the brain. The basal ganglia and the hypothalamus are first affected. The dura- tion of this depression and the intensity of action depends " on the structure of the drug, on its mode of administration and the amount used. The barbiturates have a quieting action in nervous and excited states in animals and in cases of hyperthyroidism^. The following are some of the barbiturates conmionly employed in therapy. 46

THe mostsusccessfal cyclic noa-barbiturate hypnotics have been found among piperidine-2,4-diones^, such as 3,3- diethyl-2,4-dioxo-l,2,3,4-tetrahydropyridine (XXX) (Pyrithyl- dione, Presidone) is a long acting and well tolerated drug,

(XXX) whereas 2,4 -dioxo- 3,3,-diethyl-5-methylpiperidine (XXXI) (methylprylon, Nodular)^ has been claimed to be superior to many barbiturates.

(XXXI)

Amongst glutarmides, <=(-ethyl-<=<-phenylglutarimide (XXXII) (glutethimide, Doridon) has been claimed to be a good sedative and hypnotic which produces six to eight hours of sleep at doses from 0.25 to 0.5 gm.^® 48

(XXXII)

A most powerful and promising hypnotic activity- has been discovered in 4(3H)quinazolones. Zaheer and Kacker'^ synthesised a number of quinazolones of the general formula (XXXIII) and tested them for their analgesic activity. None

(XXXIII)

of these compounds possessed analgetic activity but showed promising hypnotic activity. One of the compounds i.e. 2-methyl-3-G-tolyl-4-(3H)quinazolone (XXXIV) (Melsedin, Hypnodyne, Rivonal) has been introduced into therapy as a safe hypnotic without any adverse side effects. In 49

continuation of this work, Sidhu, Sattur and Bhanumati^ synthesised various 2-methyl-3-phenylethyl-, and 2-methyl- 3-benzyl-4-(3H)quinazolones and tested them for their pharma- cological activity. However, those compounds do not hold much promise as hypnotic agents but exhibit powerful anti- tussive action. The following two derivatives (XXXV) and (XXXVI) are undergoing detailed investigation to assess

their clinical efficacy.

2. Anti convulsant s

fi 7 Phenobarbital » is one of the most effective anti- convulsant employed in therapy today. Many of the hypnotics, in doses sufficient to produce anesthesia relieve convulsive attacks. The following are some of the compounds (XXXVIII- XL) resembling in structure to Phenobarbital (XXXVII) and are employed as antiepileptic agents.

(XXXIX) (XL) (N-methyl-2-phenyl- (S-phenylbutyramide) butyramlde)

Related to barbiturates are 5,5-disubstituted hydantoins which may be regarded as glycolylureides. One of the earliest hydantoins to be tried as an anticonvulsant and sedative was the analogue of phenobarbital i.e. phenyl- ethylhydantoin. (XLI) (Nirvanol)"^.

C,21-1H 5

(XLI)

Though this compound was found active in various types of convulsions but is no longer considered safe because of its toxicity. Merritt and Putnam®'® in their systematic study of hydantoins found that the sodium salt of diphenyl- hydantoin (XLII) (Dilantin) had the greater anticonvulsant 52

(XLII)

activity, combined with low depressant activity. Although diphenylhydantoin is usually the choice drug for the control of psychomotor seizures and grandmal convulsions, several other hydantoin derivatives have been employed clinically.

3,6,6-trialkyloxazolidine-2,4-diones form another important class of compounds possessing anticonvulsant action. The most active of these compounds are 3,5,5,-trimethyl oxa- zolidine-2,4-dione (Trimethadione) (XLIII), 3,5-dimethyl-5- ethyl derivative CXLIV) (Paramethadione) and 3-methyl-5,5- di-n-propyl-derivative^® (XL7),

Isomers of Lidocaine which do not have two methyl groups ortho to the -NHCO-grouping, exhibit a very weak action^'^. If, however, one alkyl group such as GHg is placed in ortho position and no other nuclear substituent is present, then these compounds possess much shorter duration of action 15 and are irritant

Amides derived from cinnamic acids (XL7III) are

claimed to possess promising anticonvulsant action. 55

4. Tranqalllisers

A good tranquilising activity has been discovered 17 by Sidhu, Sattur, Rao and Sogani in a new class of compounds

(XLIX) derived from 1,2-diphenylethylamines and p-phenyl- propionic acids.

CH2—CH

(XLIX)

These compounds in general e3diibit mild sedation and decrease of locomotor activity. One of the compounds belonging to the above series i.e. (R = CH3; R^ = Rg = H) is currently undergoing clinical evaluation in human against anxiety neurosis. This compound shows 80-90 per cent remission of anxiety symptoms when administered for 3-5 days, Even prolonged treatment to the extent of 4-6 weeks does not give rise to any side effects.

It is interesting to observe that the lower

homologues (L) corresponding to structure (XLIX) exhibit

good CNS depressant action. 56

NH —CO —CHa—CH2

(LD

Some of the compounds derived from this series show mild to strong hjrpotension and antipyretic action. With a view to arrive at structure activity relationship in general, propionamides derived from the p-phenylethylamines of the general structure (LI) have also been prepared.

NH—CO-CH2—CH2

(LI)

These compounds show hypoactivity, mild to strong sedation and a powerful decrease of locomotor activity. 57

Present work

It is apparent from the foregoing summary that the -NH-CO-linkage exhibits a variety of pharmacological actions depending upon the nature of groi^js attached to Nitrogen and the carbonyl group. The influence of a phenethyl group attached to the nitrogen and the carbonyl attached to the alkylene chain having a terminal nitrogen has not been investigated so far. Hence it was thought important to synthesise compounds of the structure(LII) (where Y forms a branched or straight alkylene chain) to study their

NH CO —Y- N Z

(LID

pharmacological actions. This chapter describes the compounds incorporating the above structure and the compounds thus prepared are described in Tables 8, 9 and 10.

The details of the mode of preparation of these compounds are described in the experimental part. 58

EXPERIMENTAL

N-AMINOACYL-^-PHBNYLETHYLAMINES

N-Aminoacyl^P-phenylethylamines were prepared by reacting N-chloroacyl-P-phenylethylamines with diethylamine and various secondary heterocyclic amines such as morpholine, piperidine, pyrrolidine, 2-, 3- or 4-methylpiperidines.

The Condensations were carried out by methods outlined below.

\ NH — CO - Y — C\ + Hbi Z V ^^

A. refluxing in benzene or B. heating at 130-140° without solvent

C. heating in a glass autoclave (in case of low boiling amines)

NH CO — Y — N \ \ / 70

Method 'A'

Condensation of N-chloroacyl-P-phenylethylamiDes with various secondary amines usin^ benzene as a solvent:

N-chloroacetyl or N-(3-chloropropionyl)-p-phenyl- ethylamine (0.1 mole) and secondary amine such as diethyl- amine, morpholine, piperldine, pyrrolidine, 2-, 3- or 4- methylpiperidine (0,2 mole) were dissolved in dry benzene (100-150 ml) and refluxed for six to eight hours.

N-AMINOALKYL-p-PHBNYLBTHYLAMINES

This chapter describes the preparation of N-amino- alkyl-p-phenylethylamines of the general structure (LIII)

where R]^ and R2 stand for H, methoxy in para position, 3:4- dimethoxy, 3-methoxy-4-ethoxy, 3:4-diethoxy and 3:4-methylene- dioxy groups. Y stands for alkyl chain such as -CH2-, CH- CH„ -CH2-CH2- and -N Z represents diethylamine, morpholine, piperidine, pyrrolidine and p- and Y-pipecolines.

A large number of drugs in clinical use for the treatment of management of withdrawal syndrome of drug addiction, acute alcoholism and antiallergic syndrome incorporate -N-Y-N Z group. Some of the more important ones are Phenothiazines^"''^ (LI"7) such as (LIV)

(LV) Promazine R .(CH2)3N-(CH3)2 2 3 (LVI) Diethazine R .(CH2)2-N-(C2H5)2' 7 (L¥II) Trimeprazine R -CH2-CH-CH2-N-(CH3)2 CHo (LVIII) Pyrathiazine R = -CH2-CH2-N V

Major advances have been made in recent years in the treatment of antiallergic syndrome with compounds contain- ing -N-C-C-N- structure. The highest antihistaminic activity among the structures of the type Ar-N-CH2CH2NR2 was observed k when Rj^represented benzyl or analogous heterocyclic group and R2 was methyl. The first useful drug in this series g was prepared by Halpern known as Antergan (LIX).

Ethylenediamine derivatives incorporating an acridan moiety on one of the nitrogen have been shown to possess anti-histaminic activity. Thus l0-(2-dimethyl- aminoethyl)acrldan (LXVI) has been claimed to possess seven times more activity than diphenhydramine 17 A systematic

H, CHg, or C3H7 and-N Z represents a heterocyclic moiety such as morpholine, piperidine and pyrrolidine groups has been carried out by Sidhu, Sattur and Sadanandam^^. The compounds possess mild antihistaminic activity but in general exhibit ataxia, Irritability, gasping and increase of motor activity. It is also interesting to observe that some of the compounds exhibit good antipyretic and diuretic activity. The compounds are undergoing screening in experimental animals, In continuation of this work, Sidhu, Sattur, Salma Ansari and Bhaskar Rao synthesised a number of derivatives of the follow- ing tjrpe derived from P-phenylethylamine.

It was thought worthwhile to synthesise structures of the type

where R]^ and R2 represent H, methoxy, dimethoxy and methylene- dioxy groups, Y stands for an alkylene chain such as -CH2-CH2-, -CH2-CH-, -CH2-CH2-CH2- and N Z represents

CH3 , diethylamine, morpholine, piperidine, pyrrolidine, 2-, 3-, and 4-methylpiperidine,

Compounds of this type may also be looked upon as open chain analogues of 2-benzyl-2-imidazoline (Prisco- 19 line, Benzazoline, Tolazoline) (LXIX) which is employed clinically as moderately effective blocking agent. It is also employed for the clinical management of acute poliomyelitis; at doses large enough to produce lis

Compounds of the general structure (LIII) were

synthesised by

(A) Condensing basic alkyl chlorides with suitably substituted phenyl- ethylamines.

(B) Reduction of corresponding amides described in chapter III of this with Lithium aluminium hydride•

N-aminoalkyl-p-phenylethylamines described in

Table li, 12 and in were prepared by two methods.

A. Condensation of appropriately substituted p-phenylethyl- Mir^s_with alkylaminoaikyl chlorides

Alkylarainoalkyl chlorides (Table 13-A) which were required for condensation of various P-phenylethylamines were obtained as described in literature.

8 2-(4-morpholino)propyl 120/50 25 chloride 9 2-(1-piperidino)propyl 60/25 chloride 130

General procedure

The anpropriate P-phenylethylamine (0,l2 mole) and the freshly prepared alkylarainoalkyl chloride (0«1 mole) were mixed together and heated over an oil bath at 80-ll0°C for one to four hours. The mixture gradually became viscous or solid mass, which was cooled, dissolved in water and basified with 10^ caustic soda solution. The liberated b^se was extracted with ether and ethereal extract was dried over anhydrous sodium sulphate. The solvent was removed and residue was distilled under reduced pressure,

Picrates were prepared by mixing up warm alcoholic solutions of the base and picric acid and were crystallised from ethanol or acetic acid,

B. Reduction _q f - ami no acyl- P-p henyle t hy lamine s _wit h Lj. t hi ^ aluminium hydride

N-aminoacyl-fS-phenylethylamine (10 g) dissolved in 50 ml of anhydrous tetrahydrofuran was added dropwise to a suspension of Lithium aluminium hydride (6 g) in tetrahydro- furan (100 cc.). After the addition was over, the mixture was refluxed with sstirring for five to six hours and cooled. Excess of Lithium aluminium hydride was decomposed by adding slowly moist ether and aqueous potassium hydroxide (40^), The solid was filtered, washed with ether and filtrate was dried over anhydrous sodium sulphate. After removal of solvent, residue was distilled under reduced pressure. 131

PHARMACOLOGY

The compoands described in Chapters II, III and IV have been submitted for evaluation and pharmacological activity in experimental animals at Riker Laboratories, North- ridge, California and at Seth G.S. Medical College, Bombay. The screening of such compounds to assess their activity is an expensive and time consuming job.

The results are sommarised in Tables 14 to 21. The data is not yet sufficient to determine structure activity relationships but a preliminary attempt in this direction i s made. 177 m -P •H o I C H •H fH Ti £3 nH •H I tJ o O +5 O ft O o ftC •H ffi o i c ® -Sp ( 0 •p CO *> o CH or o o® as® a O © TH ® m TJ o •H C W •p O •H •p •P O CO o ® O o O-H ffi ffi • m a c s O ® •H o ffi-P P PH m a o H T) +9 ffi ® CO o ffi -H o ® -H •H O m ® "C! ® O m •H 03 +3< ft ® CO CO ffi Offi TJ iH O O CO ® to r-i • © • O fH W •P >0 X O -P h® S>> H ft ft C!

N-Ghloroacyl-p-phenyletfaylamines

This group of compounds coald be expected to possess anticonvulsant action against electroshock seizures in mice on account of structural resemblance to Hibicon i.e. S-chloro- propionylbenzylamine. In general these compounds exhibit sedation and decrease of locomotor activity. Compounds bearing Code No. 2501, 2502, 2505 possess mild to strong protection against electroshock seizures in mice.

Code No, 2505 also possesses a strong muscle relaxation

property. It is proposed to investigate it further.

N-Aminoacyl-p-phenylethylamines

These compounds in general possess hyperactivity, irritability, ataxia, convulsions and in some cases laboured respiration. Straub tail effects are also exhibited. Compounds bearing Code Nos. 523, 2521, 522, 524, 545 exhibit mild to strong hypotensive activity.

N»Amlaoalkyl-p-phenyle thy1amine s

Very few compounds have been screened in this series. Hence it is not possible to make an assessment of the activity. In general these compounds exhibit more of a stimulant character than a depressant one. Irritability, convulsions, ataxia, tremor, twitching and a decrease of locomotor activity are observed. The reduction of -NH-CO-linkage, in N-aminoacyl derivatives, to -NH-CH2-linkage present in N-aminoalkyl deri- vatives leads to pronounced diuretic and mild hypotensive activity, such as in Code Nos. 811, 814, 801, 818, 2593.

Toxicity studies

The following studies are based on the LDsq values expressed in mgAg i.p. in mice. In the N-chloroacyl series, the effect of introduction of methyl group in chloroacyl residue does not lead to increase of toxicity.

It is also evident from the above data that increase of alkoxy groups in p-position i.e. 4-methoxy (Code Nos. between 2501, 2502 and Code Nos. 2505, 2506) to ethoxy does not lead to increase.of toxicity, but on the other hand leads to compounds of less toxicity.

In the N-aminoacyl series, ^050 values in morpholine series appear to be highest and hence morpholine series seems to be less toxic among other heterocyclic moieties. NH—CO—CH, —N Z

APPENDIX

A num'her of metho^^s for the r»reparation of ^-phenyl- ethylamines are available in the literature. These may be broadly clas'=^ifier' a'=! follows:

1. Reduct-ion o"^ Benzyl cyanide, oximes or w-njtrostyrenes. 2. Degradation of acids or acid amides by Schmidt or Hoffmann reaction.

Miscellaneous methods.

1. Reductive methods;

Reduction of nitriles, oximes OT W-nitrostyrenes has been carried out chemically, by catalytic hydro^enation, or by electrolytic reduction.

a) Chemical reduction methods^ Nitriles, oximes or nitrostyrenes have been reduced with a variety of reae^ents to 1 2 the corresponding amines. Zinc and mineral acids ' , sodium in 3—5 6 amyl or ethanol" ^, zinc nickel couple , sodium 7 8 amalgam in acetic acid and benzenesulohonyl chloride are the reagents employed for the reduction of benzylcyanide. Reduc- tion of oximes is carried out by sodium amalgam in acetic acid or by dropping oxime in acetic acid to a solution of methanol- sulphuric acid®. Aluminium amalgam or zinc dust with glacial acetic acid, or iron and hydrochloric acid are also used for the reduction of w-nitrostyrenes^^"^^. Lithium aluminium hydride has been extensively used for the reduction of nitriles^-'^"^''^.

^^ Catalytic reduction: Hydrogenation of oximes, nitriles and nitrostyrenes has been successfully carried out in the presence of a variety of catalysts. Raney nickel in methanol or ethanol saturated with am-nonia^^*liquid 1 T S ammonia , ten per cent tetralin has been used for the reduc- tion of w-nitrostyrenes or njtriles.

Palladiun/carbon in ethanol, hydrochloric acid , 20 21 acetic acid-sulT)huric acid , o"^ pyridine v;as used for the reduction of oximes and nitriles. Good results were obtained when solution of crimes in acetic acid was added drop by drop to a suspension of Adam's catalyst in acetic acid-sulrjhuric acid 3n the reduction chamber^, Urushibara nickel catalyst (IT-Ni-NH3) and Urushibara cobalt catalyst (U-CO-B) have also 22 been used for such redn^-^t-ions

Slectrolytlc reduction: Ben.'syl cyanide has been reduced to f^-phenjrlethylamine when alkalin or acid solution is placed in cathode compartment p5o3 of an electrolytic cell #. w-Nitrostyrenes have also been ,24 electrolytically reduced*^

2-Degradatlon of Acid or Amides:

Schnidt .reaction: A ^ood yiel^^ of 8-phenylethyl- amine is obtained by Schmidt reaction of phenylpropionic 2:13

acid^'^"^'^. The acid is converted to its azide by reaction of hydrazoi^ acid liberated in situ from sodium azide and sulphuric acid in benzene or chloroform solution,

b) Hoffrcann reaction; This method has been extensively used for the preTDaration of P-phenylethylamines from correspond- in? amides usinp alkali hypochlorite or hypobroraite. In the preparation of alkoxy substituted p-phenylethylamines, this method has been found to be most suitable and has been extensively ,28,29 used '

Miscellaneous methods:

P-TDhenylethylamines have also been prepared by methods not commonly employed for preoarative purposes. Direct introduc- tion of 2-arainoethyl gjroup in the benzene nucleus was effected 30 with ethyleneimine in the presence of AICI3 . Various primary amines were obtained by condensin? 0- methyl-hydroxylamine (MeOMHg) v/ith alkylmagnesium chloride in ether"^^. Dry distilla- tion of alanine resulted in the formation of P-phenylethyl- amine^^. Condensation of" phenylethyl chloride v/ith hexa- methylenetetramine in ethanol and then treatment with hydro- chloric acid gave P-phenylethylamine hydrochloride from which amine is generated by addition of alkali solution^-'^.

P-Phenylethyl amine and its derivatives form an important class of physiologically active compounds.

Interest In these compounds was aroused in the beginning of this century when epineDhrine was shown to be a deriva- tive of 8-phenylethyl amine. Many other 3-phenylethylamine derivatives were later shoi^m to have an action on the sympathetic nervous system, very similar to the action of epinephrine. These were named s3mipathomimetic amines. An extensive study of the chemistry and pharmacology of P-phenyl- ethylamines and many of its derivatives has been made by several vjorkers to find out structure activity relationship in this field.

rever, a study of literature reveals that the effect of acylamino and alkylamino substituents on nitrogen atom of P-T)henylethylamine molecule has not been studied so far. The present wo-R'K w^S taken UD to study the ef-fect of variation of such groups to arrive at structure activity relationship. Thus compounds of following general structures were synthesised and submitted for phaTrnacolo°-ical evaluation,

The present thesis consists of five chapters.

Chanter I.

The chemistry and pharmacology of B-ohenylethyl amines is briefly reviewed in th3 s chauter.

Chapter IT.

This chapter describes the preparation of Jj8

W-chloroacyl-e-Dhenyiethylamlnes of the general structure I.

These were preparpfl bj*- reaction of appropriately substituted

S-phenylethylamines with chloroacetyl chloride, 2- and 3-

chloroprooionyl chlorides.

Chapter III.

This chapter deals with the DreDaration of various

N-aminaoacyl-B-TDhenylethylamines of general structure II. They

vrere preuared by condensation of appropriately substituted

N-chloroacyl-P-phenylethylamines with a few secondary amines

viz., diethylamine, raorpholine, piperidine, pyrrolidine and

c<-, P- or Y-pipecolines.

Chapter IV.

The preparation of a number of N-aminoalkyl-P- phenylethylamines of general structure III is described in this chapter. These were prepared by condensation of diethyl- amino, morpholino and piperidinoalkyl chlorides with various alkoxy substituted 3-phenylethylamines or in some cases by the reduction of N-aminoacyl-p-phenylethylamines (described in Chapter III) with the lithium aluminium hydride.

Chapter V.

The results of preliminary pharmacological screening of some of the compounds described in chapter II, III and IV which were available till the time of writing of this thesis are incorporated in this chapter. An attempt has been made to establish structure activity relationship from the avail- able data. The Dharmacolo^ical evaluation of other comDounds is in progress.
