## Background
Platelet Activating Factor (PAF), 1-0-hexadecyl/octadecyl-2-acetyl-sn-glyceryl-3-phosphorylcholine, is an ether lipid produced by a variety of different cell types. Recent studies [Snyder, F., Ann. Rep. Med. Chem., 17, 243 (1982); Pinckard, R. N., et. al., J. Adv. Inflammation Res., 4, 147 (1982); O'Flaherty, J. T., et. al., Clin. Rev. Allergy, 1, 353 (1983); Vargaftig, B. B., et. al., J. Trends. Pharmacol. Sci., 4, 341 (1983)] have shown PAF to be an important mediator of allergic disease. When injected into mammals, PAF induces hemodynamic and hematological changes including hypotension, platelet aggregation, neutropenia, disseminated intravascular coagulation, increases in vascular permeability, bronchoconstriction, tissue injury (hypoxia and necrosis) and eventually death (reviewed by Cammussi, G. Kidney Int. 29, 469, 1986). In recent years, it has been postulated that PAF is the mediator of tissue injury in mammals undergoing endotoxic shock due to bacterial sepsis (Terashita, Z., Y. Imura, K. Nishikawa and S. Sumida 1985, Eur. J. Pharmacol. 109:257-261; Doebber, T. W., M. S. Wu, J. C. Robbins, B. M. Choy, M. N. Chang and T. Y. Shen 1985, Biochem. Biophys. Res. Comm. 127:799-808; Inarrea, P., Gomez-Cambronero, J. Pascual, M. del Carmen Ponte, L. Hernando and M. Sanchez-Crespo. 1985,  Immunopharmacology, 9:45-52). These studies, in mammals, have shown that PAF is produced in large amounts when the said mammal has been treated with endotoxin. In addition, mammals undergoing endotoxic shock exhibit all of the clinical symptoms associated with the administration of PAF. In addition, PAF is implicated in asthma, respiratory distress syndrome, lung edema and other inflammatory and cardiovascular diseases.

The compounds of the present invention have proven to be specific inhibitors of the biological effects of PAF and are consequently useful for the treatment of asthma, anaphylactic and septic (endotoxic) shock, psoriasis, bowel necrosis, adult respiratory distress syndrome, transplant rejection, thrombosis, stroke, cardiac anaphylaxis and cancer.

Concurrently, with the realization that PAF is an important mediator of inflammatory diseases in mammals, a number of structurally different antagonists of PAF have been developed. References to some of these antagonists are listed hereinbelow.

(i) C.sub.1 -C.sub.25 alkyl, C.sub.1 -C.sub.25 alkenyl, C.sub.1 -C.sub.25 alkoxy, C.sub.1 -C.sub.25 thioalkyl, C.sub.1 -C.sub.25 alkenyloxy, phenyl, phenoxy, substituted phenyl and substituted phenoxy wherein the substituents are selected from the group consisting of C.sub.1 -C.sub.20 alkyl, C.sub.1 -C.sub.20 alkoxy, halogen and trifluoromethyl; (ii) hydrogen, halogen, trifluoromethyl, cyano and nitro; (iii) --CO.sub.2 R.sub.4, --CONHR.sub.3, --CHO, OCONHR.sub.4, and --NHCOR.sub.4 wherein R.sub.4 is selected from the group consisting of C.sub.1 -C.sub.25 alkyl, C.sub.1 -C.sub.25 alkenyl, phenyl and substituted phenyl wherein the substituents are selected from the group consisting of C.sub.1 -C.sub.20 alkyl, C.sub.1 -C.sub.20 alkoxy, halogen and trifluoromethyl; (C) the moiety R.sub.2 represents one or more substituents of the aromatic ring which may be in any position and are selected from the group consisting of hydrogen C.sub.1 -C.sub.5 alkyl, C.sub.1 -C.sub.5 alkoxy and halogen; (D) the moiety --(CH.sub.2).sub.q -Y is a moiety wherein q is an integer from 0 to 1 and Y represents a single substituent of the aromatic ring which may occupy any position and is a stable, optionally substituted mono or bicyclic aromatic heterocycle with 5-6 membered rings containing at least one nitrogen atom and optionally one or more other nitrogen or sulfur atoms; the substituents of the heterocycle are selected from the group consisting of C.sub.1 -C.sub.6 alkyl, C.sub.1 -C.sub.6 acyl, or C.sub.1 -C.sub.6 alkoxy. A preferred embodiment is compounds of Formula I wherein Y is: ##STR4## wherein the moiety R.sub.5 is one or more substituents of the heterocyclic ring which may be the same or different and are selected from the group consisting of hydrogen, C.sub.1 -C.sub.6 alkyl, C.sub.1 -C.sub.6 acyl, or C.sub.1 -C.sub.6 alkoxy; R.sub.6 is C.sub.1 -C.sub.4 alkyl; q is 0 or 1; and the pharmacologically acceptable salts thereof.

The preparation of the compound of the present invention encompassed by Formula 8 is described hereinbelow in Flowsheet A wherein R.sub.1, R.sub.2 and n are described hereinabove. The moiety R.sub.7 is a C.sub.1 to C.sub.6 alkyl group. R.sub.8 is selected from the group consisting of --CH.sub.2 OH, and --CO.sub.2 R.sub.7. Y' is an optionally substituted mono or bicyclic heterocycle with 5-6 membered rings containing at least one nitrogen atom (which is bonded directly to the methylene group) and optionally one or more nitrogen or sulfur atoms.

In a specific embodiment, Y, is selected from the group consisting of: ##STR5## wherein R.sub.5 and R.sub.6 are as described hereinabove.

According to sequence of reactions outlined in flowchart A, the carboxylic acid ester 2 is hydrolyzed with sodium or potassium hydroxide in aqueous alcohol to give the carboxylic acid 3 which is converted to the acid chloride 4 using oxalyl chloride in the presence of a catalytic amount of dimethylformamide (DMF) in an inert solvent such as methylene chloride. The acid chloride is reacted with amine 5 in the presence of a base such as triethylamine or pyridine to give the amides represented by Formula 6. For those compounds wherein R.sub.8 is --CH.sub.2 OH (6a), the alcohol is converted to the mesylate using methanesulfonyl chloride and a base such as triethylamine in an inert solvent such as tetrahydrofuran (THF). This mesylate can, without isolation, be converted to the bromide 7, by treating the reaction mixture with an excess of lithium bromide. Alternatively, the bromide can be prepared directly by heating 6a in HBr in acetic acid. Alkylation of bromide 7 with a nitrogen containing heterocycle Y' in an inert solvent with heating gives the compounds of this invention represented by Formula 8.

In those cases wherein R.sub.8 is --CO.sub.2 R.sub.7 (6b), the ester group is first reduced with lithium borohydride in refluxing THF to give the alcohol 6a which is converted to the compounds of this invention 8 as described hereinabove. ##STR6##

According to sequence of reactions outlined in Flowchart B, the carboxylic acid ester 2 is hydrolyzed with sodium or potassium hydroxide in aqueous alcohol to give carboxylic acid 3 which is converted to the acid chloride 4 using oxalyl chloride in the presence of a catalytic amount of dimethylformamide (DMF) in an inert solvent such as methylene chloride. The acid chloride is reacted with amine 9 in the presence of a base such as triethylamine/pyridine to give the amides represented by Formula 10. The aromatic iodides 10 or the benzyl bromides represented by Formula 7 (see Flowsheet A) are heated with a trimethyl tin substituted heterocycle such as 11 or 12 in an inert solvent such as THF in the presence of a catalytic amount of a palladium catalyst to give the compounds of this invention 13 or 15, respectively. Compounds 13 or 15 can be alkylated with an alkyl halide or alkyltrifluoromethanesulfonate to give the charged compounds of this invention 14 and 16, respectively.

The trimethyltin substituted heterocycles such as 11 or 12 needed to prepare some of the compounds of this invention can be prepared as described in the following references: Dondoni, P., Mastellari, A. R., Medici, A.; Negrini, E., Pedrini, P. Synthesis 757 (1986); Bailey, T. R., Tet. Lett. 27, 4407 (1986); Jutzi, P. and Gilge, U., J. Organmet. Chem., 246, 163 (1983). ##STR9##

The preparation of the compounds of this invention encompassed by Formula 20 is described hereinbelow in Flowsheet C wherein R.sub.1, R.sub.2, R.sub.3, Y', R.sub.6, m, n, and p are described hereinabove. The group R.sub.9 is C.sub.1 -C.sub.4 alkyl. According to the sequence of reactions outlined in Flowsheet C, the benzyl alcohol 6a (see Flowsheet A) is reduced with a reducing agent such as lithium aluminum hydride in an inert solvent such as THF at 0.degree. to 65.degree. to give the amine 17. The reaction of 17 with at least two equivalents of an anhydride, acid chloride, isocyanate, or chloroformate in the presence of a base such as pyridine in methylene chloride gives the bis-functionalized derivative 18. When R.sub.3 is C.sub.1 -C.sub.4 alkyl or C.sub.1 -C.sub.4 alkoxy, the ester and carbonate groups, respectively, can be selectively hydrolyzed. Treating the resulting benzyl alcohol with methanesulfonyl chloride and a base such as triethylamine in THF gives a mesylate which can, without isolation, be converted to bromide 19 by reacting it with a large excess of lithium bromide. Alternatively, when R.sub.3 is C.sub.1 -C.sub.4 alkyl, C.sub.1 -C.sub.4 alkoxy, or C.sub.1 -C.sub.4 alkylamino, the bromide 19 can be prepared directly by heating 18 in HBr-acetic acid.

The reaction of carboxylic acid 47 [J. Amer. Chem. Soc., 62 1180 (1940)] with oxalyl chloride in an inert solvent such as methylene chloride in the presence of a catalytic quantity of dimethylformamide (DMF) gives the acid chloride 48. Substituted nitrobenzenes 49 can be reduced to the corresponding anilines 50 by catalytic hydrogenation in an alcohol solvent.

The compounds of this invention are tested for pharmacological activity as described in the following tests.

Test compounds are evaluated as PAF receptor antagonists in vitro by measuring inhibition of PAF (platelet activating factor) induced platelet aggregation. Platelet aggregation is measured by a modification of the method described in A. Wissner, et. al., J. Med. Chem., 27 1174, 1984.

Approximately 120-240 ml of blood is collected by cardiac puncture from unanesthetized male New Zealand White rabbits (Whaley's Summit View Farms, Belvedere, NJ) with the use of 3.2% sodium citrate anticoagulant (1 part of citrate/10 parts of blood). All syringes and pipets are plastic. The blood is gently mixed and immediately centrifuged at 800 rpm for 10-15 minutes at room temperature to recover the platelet rich plasma (PRP). Platelet poor plasma (PPP) is prepared by centrifuging PRP at 2800 rpm for 10 minutes at room temperature.

Dilutions (1:3000) of PRP in Isotone diluent are made and platelet counts are determined on a Coulter Thrombocounter which is standardized with platelet reference standards (Interscience Platelet Control, Portland, Oreg.). PRP platelet counts are adjusted to approximately 400,000-500,000 platelets/.mu.l by the addition of PPP.

L-PAF (Platelet Activating Factor) is obtained from Calbiochem. A stock solution of 1-2 E-3M is prepared in 10% ethanol in water or 100% methanol and serial working dilutions are made using saline. 1-2 E-3M stock solutions of test compounds are prepared in 100% methanol and serially diluted in PBS. All solutions are made up in plastic tubes, stored on ice and protected from heat and light. Solutions are prepared fresh or frozen at -20.degree. C. and used within 48 hours.

Incubation mixtures consisted of 400 .mu.l PRP, 50 .mu.l of saline diluent or test compound and 50 .mu.l of PAF agonist. More specifically, 400.mu.l of PRP is stabilized in a cuvette for 1-2 minutes at 37.degree. C. in the aggregometer to achieve a stable baseline, then 50 .mu.l of saline or test compound is added and incubated for 5 minutes before addition of the challenge concentration of pAF. A submaximal concentration is determined from the dose response curve for PAF for that experiment. In general, the challenge concentration is 5E-8 or 1E-7M. Aggregation is monitored for 5 minutes. Samples containing test compound or diluent are run simultaneously for comparison. Test compounds are initially evaluated at a screening concentration of 1E-5M. Those producing .gtoreq.50% inhibition of the magnitude of aggregation at 1E-5M are then reevaluated at several final concentrations ranging from 1E-8M to 5E-5M and IC50  values are determined from the dose response curve.

The recording equipment consists of a dual channel Chronolog aggregometer connected to a dual channel 10MV full scale deflection Omniscribe chart recorder (Houston Instruments). The chart recorder is calibrated daily with the use of a suspension of Bio-Rad latex beads (S-X 12 400 mesh) which has a density slightly greater than rabbit PRP. The bead suspension is used to set the 0% light transmission mark and clear water is used to set the 100% light transmission mark. These limits defined a full scale deflection. The aggregation traces are analyzed by a digitizing method (C. Kohler and B. Zoltan, J. Pharm. Methods, 12, 113, 1984) with x, y coordinate data stored in a computer file. A suitable program computes parameters of interest such as the magnitude of aggregation.

Endotoxin administration produces a shock-like state characterized by vascular permeability changes, hypotension, neutropenia, thrombocytopenia, multiple organ damage and death. The major mediators released after endotoxin injection are TNF (tumor necrosis factor), PAF (platelet activating factor) and LL-1 (interleukin I). PAF administration mimics the signs and symptoms of endotoxin induced shock and death and endotoxin also induces the release of PAF. Therefore, the effects of endotoxin should be blocked with a PAF antagonist.

Male Balb/c mice (approximately 20 g) are obtained from Charles River Laboratories and used after a one-two week acclimation period. Animals are given (ip) test compound dissolved in saline or water (sonicated and heated) at different time intervals prior to and after the ip injection of endotoxin (usually 2 hours before LPS endotoxin, and 3-4 hours after). Sigma E. Coli endotoxin, 0111:B4, phenol extraction, catalog #L2630 is used for these studies.

For the acute lethality test, the endotoxin dose is determined from dose-response titrations and adjusted to a dose that is lethal for 80-90% LD.sub.80 -LD.sub.90) of the mice within a 24 hour period. This LD value is approximately 50 mg/kg i.p. The number of survivors in each group (control or treated with test compound) is recorded after 24, 48 or 72 hours and the treated groups (receiving test compound and endotoxin) are compared with the untreated, control group (receiving endotoxin only) or saline control (receiving saline and endotoxin).

For the chronic endotoxin shock model, a lower dose of endotoxin is administered (generally 15 to 20 mg/kg i.p). This dose gives an LD.sub.80 in two to four days following LPS administration. Test compounds are given 2 hours before LPS and 3-4 hours after on the first day, followed by 3 or 4 consecutive days of BID dosing. The number of survivors in each group is recorded each day for a period of 5 to 7 days.

One of the test compounds, 5-methyl-3-[[3-[[[3-(tetradecyloxy)phenyl]acetyl]amino]phenyl]methyl]thiaz olium bromide, known to be a PAF antagonist from in vitro platelet aggregation studies, when administered ip prior to a lethal ip injection of endotoxin (Table 2) did show some activity (Table 3). Several of the test compounds (PAF antagonists) are efficacious in the chronic, lower dose LPS model when administered i.p. BID daily for several days. (Table 4). __________________________________________________________________________ Effect of Compounds Given I.P. in High Dose Acute Mouse Endotoxemia % Survival Treatment              Days 0 1      2      3      4 __________________________________________________________________________ Saline Control         30/30 (100%) 6/30 (20%) 6/30 (20%) 6/30 (20%) 6/30 (20%) 5-methyl-3-[[3-[[[3-(tetra-decyloxy)phenyl]acetyl] 30/30 (100%) 12/30 (40%) 4/30 (13%) 3/30 (10%) 3/30 (10%) amino]phenyl]methyl]thiazolium bromide __________________________________________________________________________ LPS Endotoxin challenge = 50 mg/kg ip Test cpd given 2 hrs. before and 3-4 hrs. after LPS challenge on day 0, followed by BID dosing for 3-4 days. __________________________________________________________________________ Effect of Compounds Given i.p. in Low Dose, Chronic Mouse Endotoxemia No Surv./tot.

In addition to the utilities described hereinabove, many of the compounds of this invention are useful in the preparation of other compounds of this invention.

The active compounds of the present invention may be orally administered, for example, with an inert diluent, or with an assimilable edible carrier, or they may be enclosed in hard or soft shell capsules, or they may be compressed into tablets, or they may be incorporated directly with the food of the diet. For oral therapeutic administration, these active compounds may be incorporated with excipients and used in the form of tablets, capsules, elixirs, suspensions, syrups and the like. Such compositions and preparations should contain at least 0.1% of active compound. The percentage of the compound in these compositions may, of course, be varied and may conveniently be between about 2% to about 60% of the weight of the unit. The amount of active compound in such therapeutically useful compositions is such that a suitable dosage will be obtained. Preferred compositions according to this invention are prepared so that an oral dosage unit contains between about 1 and 250 mg of active compound.

The tablets, capsules and the like may also contain a binder such as gum tragacanth, acacia, corn starch or gelatin; excipients such as dicalcium phosphate; a disintegrating agent such as corn starch, potato starch, alginic acid; a lubricant such as magnesium stearate; and a sweetening agent such as sucrose, lactose or saccharin. When the dosage unit form is a capsule, it may contain, in addition to materials of the above type, a liquid carrier such as a fatty oil.

Various other materials may be present as coatings or to modify the physical form of the dosage unit. For instance, tablets may be coated with shellac, sugar or both. A syrup or elixir may contain, in addition to active ingredient, sucrose as a sweetening agent, methyl and propylparabens as preservatives, a dye and flavoring such as cherry or orange flavor.

These active compounds may also be administered parenterally. Solutions or suspensions of these active compounds can be prepared in water suitably mixed with a surfactant such as hydroxypropylcellulose. Dispersions can also be prepared in glycerol, liquid polyethylene glycols and mixtures thereof in oils. Under ordinary conditions of storage and use, these preparations contain a preservative to prevent the growth of microorganisms.

The pharmaceutical forms suitable for injectable use include sterile aqueous solutions or dispersions and sterile powders for the extemporaneous preparation of sterile injectable solutions or dispersions. In all cases, the form must be sterile and must be fluid to the extent that easy syringability exists. It must be stable under the conditions of manufacture and storage and must be preserved against the contaminating action of microorganisms such as bacterial and fungi. The carrier can be a solvent or dispersion medium containing, for example, water, ethanol, polyol (e.g. glycerol, propylene glycol and liquid polyethylene glycol), suitable mixtures thereof, and vegetable oils.

The compounds of this invention may also be administered directly to the airways in the form of an aerosol.
