Pharmacological Testing

2-, 3- and 4-Fluorothiophenol, 2-, 3- and 4-chlorothiophenol, and 2-bromothiophenol were converted in two steps into the corresponding 2-(halogenphenylthio)benzoyl chlorides IV which afforded amides V and VI by reaction with dimethylamine and N,N,N’-trimethylethylenediamine. The amides were reduced either by lithium aluminium hydride or by diborane to benzylamines Ia-Ig and IIa-IIc. The reaction of 2-chlorobenzaldehyde with 3-bromothiophenol or 4-bromothiophenol afforded aldehydes VIIh and VIIi yielding subsequently benzylamines Ih and Ii by subsequent reducing amination. Cyano analogs Ij and Il were obtained from the bromo derivatives Ig and Ii by their reaction with cuprous cyanide in hexamethylphosphoric triamide. The synthesis of compound Ik was effected via aldehyde acid VIIm affording amino acid Im on reducing amination. The conversion of the latter to amide In and its dehydration yielded nitrile Ik. Some of the compounds synthesized, especially Ic, Id, Ie and If, are efficient and selective inhibitors of re-uptake of 5-hydroxytryptamine in brain structures. The most interesting from this aspect is compound If(hydrochloride VUFB-17649) of this series which was chosen for detailed pharmacological testing.

2-, 3- and 4Methoxythiophenol, and 2,4-, 2,5- and 3,4-dimethoxythiophenol were transformed in two steps to the corresponding 2-(methoxyphenylthio)benzoyl chlorides XIII which were reacted with ammonia, methylamine, diethylamine, dipropylamine, and di(2-propyl)amine to give the amides XIV-XIX. These were reduced mostly with lithium aluminium hydride to the amines II-VII. These methoxylated amines were demethylated mostly either by heating with pyridine hydrochloride or by treatment with boron tribromide. Some of the 2-(methoxy- and hydroxy-phenylthio)benzylamines prepared, especially compounds II, III, XXI, and XXII, indicated properties of potential antidepressants being highly active and selective inhibitors of 5-hydroxytryptamine re-uptake in the brain structures and having the typical antireserpine activity. The most interesting compound of the series is XXIb (hydrogen maleate VUFB-15 468) which is undergoing preclinical studies. On the basis of its structure, some further compounds (XXVII–XXIX, XXXIX-XLI) were prepared by various methods.

Pharmacological Testing

Reactions of 2-(phenylthio)benzyl chloride with dimethylamine, diethylamine, pyrrolidine, piperidine, morpholine, and 1-methylpiperazine afforded the title compounds VI-XI. Reaction of 2-(phenylthio)benzaldehyde with nitromethane gave the nitrostyrene XIV which was reduced with lithium aluminium hydride to 2-(2-(phenylthio)phenyl)ethylamine (XVI). This was transformed to the N-methyl and N,N-dimethyl derivatives XVIII and XIX. The Claisen reaction of (2-(phenylthio)phenyl)acetonitrile with ethyl acetate afforded compound XXI which was cleaved by phosphoric acid to (2-(phenylthio)phenyl)acetone (XX). The Leuckart-Wallach reaction afforded the formamide XXIII which was used as starting material for preparing the amines XXIV-XXVI. The alternative approach to these compounds starting by reaction of the aldehyde XII with nitroethane was complicated by the fact that in addition to the nitropropene XV 2-(phenylthio)benzonitrile was also formed. The synthetic use of the inhomogeneous XV resulted then in mixtures of amines XXIV-XXVI with IV-VI which was followed by means of mass and 1H NMR spectra. The amines XXIV-XXVI were oxidized to the sulfoxides XXVII-XXIX. The oily bases were transformed to crystalline salts and spectra of all homogeneous bases were recorded. Pharmacological testing showed the amine VI (VÚFB-15 370) to be a promising potential antidepressant. The amines XI and XXV showed also pharmacological profile of potential antidepressants.

2-(Methoxyphenylthio)benzaldehydes Xa-Xd were reacted with nitroethane in boiling acetic acid to give the corresponding 1-aryl-2-nitropropenes XIIa-XIId; benzonitriles XIIIa and XIIIc and benzaldoximes XXIc and XXId were isolated as by-products. Chromatographed compounds XIIa-XIId were reduced with lithium aluminium hydride to the primary amines VIIa-VIId, and formylated by heating with ethyl formate to the formamides XIVa, XIVc, and XIVd. Reduction of the formamides with lithium aluminium hydride afforded the secondary amines VIIIa, VIIIc, and VIIId, and methylation of the primary amines with formic acid and formaldehyde gave the tertiary amines IXa, IXc, and IXd. Compound VIIIa was prepared also by an alternative route starting from the nitrile XIIIa and proceeding via XIXa and XIVa. Some of the methoxylated amines were demethylated either by heating with pyridine hydrochloride or by treatment with boron tribromide to the title compounds IVa, IVc, Vc, Vd, VIa, and VIc. The amines prepared were transformed to salts for characterization and for pharmacological testing. Compound VIIIa (hydrogen oxalate V⁄FB-15 475) showed clearly the character of a potential antidepressant.

Pharmacological Testing

The preparation of 4-fluoro-2-nitrobenzonitrile (V), an intermediate in the synthesis of the title compound I, from 4-fluoro-2-nitroaniline via 5-fluoro-2-iodonitrobenzene (VII) was elaborated. Syntheses of 1,1,1,3,3,3-hexadeutero-2-propyl (XX) and 1,3,4-trideutero (XXVIII) analogues of compound I from hexadeuteroacetone, and pentadeuterobromobenzene, respectively, were carried out. Compound I was esterified with acetic anhydride, decanoic acid and 3,4,5-trimethoxybenzoyl chloride to give the esters II-IV. Acylation of compound XXX with acetyl chloride, 4-fluorophenoxyacetyl chloride and (4-fluorophenylthio)acetyl chloride and the following reduction of the amides with lithium aluminium hydride gave compounds XXXII, XXXIX and XL. Substitution reactions of 11-chloro-7-fluoro-2-isopropyl-10,11-dihydrodibenzo[b,f]thiepin with the corresponding N-monosubstituted piperazines resulted in compounds XXXIII-XXXV, XXXVII, XXXVIII, XLI and XLII. Alkylation of XXX with 2-(2-chloroethyl)-1,3-dioxolane afforded compound XXXVI. Pharmacological testing of the new compounds, derivatives and analogues of the neuroleptic agent isofloxythepin (I), for discoordinating and cataleptic activities, showed especially for compounds II, XXXIV and XXXVI very intensive and long-lasting effects. The decanoate III has properties of a depot neuroleptic agent.

Were developed new and practical synthesis of (Z)-7-dodecene-1-yl acetate and (E)-9-dodecene-1-yl acetate. The routes involve, as the key step, the use of the mercury derivative of the terminal-alkyne w-functionalised as intermediate. The synthesis of (Z)-7-dodecene-1-yl acetate was based on a C6+C2=C8 and C8+C4=C12 coupling scheme, starting from 1,6-hexane-diol. The first coupling reaction took place between 1-tert-butoxy-6-bromo-hexane and lithium acetylide-ethylendiamine complex obtaining 1-tert-butoxy-oct-7-yne, which is transformed in di[tert-butoxy-oct-7-yne]mercury. The mercury derivative was directly lithiated and then alkylated with 1-bromobutane obtaining 1-tert-butoxy-dodec-7-yne. After acetylation and reduction with lithium aluminium hydride of 7-dodecyne-1-yl acetate gave (Z)-7-dodecene-1-yl acetate with 96 % purity. The synthesis of (E)-9-dodecene-1-yl acetate was based on a C8+C2=C10 and C10+C2=C12 coupling scheme, starting from 1,8-octane-diol. The first coupling reaction took place between 1-tert-butoxy-8-bromo-octane and lithium acetylide-ethylendiamine complex obtaining 1-tert-butoxy-dec-9-yne, which is transformed in di[tert-butoxy-dec-9-yne]mercury. The mercury derivative was directly lithiated and then alkylated with 1-bromoethane obtaining 1-tert-butoxy-dodec-9-yne. After reduction with lithium aluminium hydride of 1-tert-butoxy-(E)-9-dodecene and acetylation was obtained (E)-9-dodecene-1-yl acetate with 97 % purity.

4-Chloromethyl-s-hydrindacene (VIIa) was transformed via the malonic acid derivatives VIIIa and IXa to the acid Xb which afforded in four steps the homological acid Xc. Reactions of chlorides of both acids (XIbc ) with dimethylamine, 1-methylpiperazine and 1-(2-hydroxyethyl)piperazine led to the amides XIIbc-XIVbc which were reduced with lithium aluminium hydride to the title compounds IVcd-VIcd. The amines obtained show central neuroleptic effects only in subtoxic doses; they are also potent local anaesthetics and have significant spasmolytic activity of the neurotropic as well as musculotropic type.

(Arylthio)benzoic acids IIa - IIe and VIb - VId were transformed via the acid chlorides to the N,N-dimethylamides which were reduced either with diborane "in situ" or with lithium aluminium hydride to N,N-dimethyl-(arylthio)benzylamines Ia - Ie and Vb - Vd. Leuckart reaction of the aldehydes IX and X with dimethylformamide and formic acid afforded directly the amines Va and Ve. Demethylation of the methoxy compounds Ia and Ve with hydrobromic acid resulted in the phenolic amines If and Vf. The most interesting N,N-dimethyl-4-(phenylthio)benzylamine (Va) hydrochloride showed affinity to cholinergic and 5-HT2 serotonin receptors in the rat brain and some properties considered indicative of antidepressant activity (inhibition of serotonin re-uptake in the brain and potentiation of yohimbine toxicity in mice).
