FIELD OF THE INVENTION
The present invention relates to stable pyridone disulphide derivatives of general formula (I), their preparation and utilization for the treatment of ailments related to the stomach and intestine.




Wherein, R1, R2 and R3 are alkyl, alkoxy, halogen, halogenated alkoxy, halogenated alkyl, hydrogen and could be same or different and X is CH or N.
R1 is methyl, methoxy, fluorine, trifluoromethyl, difluoromethoxy and hydrogen,
R2 is methyl, methoxy and hydrogen, R3 is methyl and hydrogen.
BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION
Gastrointestinal disorders such as peptic ulcers, gastroesophageal reflux and heartburns arising out of excessive secretion of acidic gastric fluids are amongst the widely encountered diseases in modern age. These diseases, if not controlled, have a tendency to aggravate and ultimately result in gastric cancer. The initial treatment for this indication involved use of histamine-H2-receptor antagonists such as cimetidine as acid secretion inhibitors, which was later followed by introduction of the proton-pump inhibitors (PPIs), collectively known as the prazoles.
The vast majority of the proton-pump inhibitors belonging to prazole group of compounds are benzimidazole derivatives comprising of two heterocyclic moieties, imidazole and pyridine which are linked through a methylene sulfinyl [—CH2S(O)—] group. The mode of action involves inhibition of gastric acid secretion in the lumen of the stomach by blockage of (H+/K+)ATPase enzyme of the parietal cell, which is responsible for gastric acid production and is located in the secretory membranes of the parietal cells. Incidentally, the prazole group of compounds are by themselves, not active inhibitors of this enzyme but are transformed within the acid compartments of the parietal cells into the active inhibitors.
Portugaliae Electrochimica Acta (2008), 433-448 discloses that in case of omeprazole, the inactive drug is converted to its active form by a probable mechanism which involves protonation and removal of a water molecule to form a sulfenamide intermediate of formula (P1). This intermediate reversibly reacts with the sulfenic acid from which it has been generated and leads to the molecule (P2), which possesses a disulfide linkage between the benzimidazo pyridine fragments. (Scheme-1)




The intermediate (P1), as discussed in Acta Chemica Scandinavica (1989), 43, 536-548, also undergoes aryl oxygen cleavage on treatment with hydrochloric acid to provide a pyridone derivative (P3) (Scheme-2).




The pyridone derivative (P3) gets further converted to compound (P4), similar to the disulfide compound (P2). Herein, it is pertinent to note that the pyridone derivative (P3) is known to be an unstable intermediate in the reactions of prazoles occurring in the acidic environment and readily converts to the disulfoxide derivative (P4).




It has also been reported that sulfenamides characterized by structures similar to compound (P1) are difficult to isolate and are usually isolated as acid addition salts.
U.S. Pat. No. 4,636,499 discloses methods for the preparation of the sulfenamides which can be employed for providing gastrointestinal cytoprotective effects during the treatment of gastrointestinal inflammatory diseases in mammals. The process comprises treatment of the respective prazole having a sulfoxide functional group with prohibitively expensive acids like HPF6, HBF4 or HAuCl4. Hence, the resulting sulfenamide is in the form of an acid addition salt with the said acids, which unfortunately cannot be administered as such and needs to be converted to its free base followed by optional treatment with pharmaceutically acceptable acids.
U.S. Pat. No. 4,769,456, U.S. Pat. No. 5,162,317 also discloses methods for preparing sulphenamides, which apparently due to difficulty in isolation of the product are isolated as their salts with costly acids like fluoroboric acid, tetrafluoroboric acid or hexafluorophosphoric acid and not suitable for therapeutic use.
The present inventors, while carrying out research for identifying compounds that are themselves active inhibitors of gastric acid secretion in the stomach, through serendipity were successful in isolating compounds of formula (I) in a stable form. These compounds were found to exhibit instant therapeutic action against gastrointestinal disorders, without being converted further into any other active form.




wherein, R1, R2 and R3 are independently alkyl, alkoxy, halogen, halogenated alkoxy, halogenated alkyl, hydrogen and could be the same or different and X is CH or N,
R1 is methyl, methoxy, fluorine, trifluoromethyl, difluoromethoxy and hydrogen,
R2 is methyl, methoxy and hydrogen,
R3 is methyl and hydrogen.
After an extensive study of the literature reports relating to the active compounds for gastrointestinal secretion inhibitory activity of prazoles, it was found that compounds of the invention having formula (I) were novel. Earlier, it was not possible to synthesize or isolate these compounds due to their unstable nature. Further, it was also found that the invented compounds having the pyridone moiety and the disulfide linkage were different from similar disulfide compounds (compound P2) disclosed in International Journal of Pharmaceutics (2006), 323, p. 110-116.
Another noteworthy finding about compounds of formula (I) was that they were found to be at least six times more potent than the prazole compounds, This would significantly lower the dosage of the active ingredient and also minimize any untoward side effects that are associated with higher dosage as compared to prior art compounds having similar therapeutic action.
The compounds of the embodied invention were prepared and isolated as stable, crystalline or amorphous solids, depending upon the structure of the compound and the method employed for their isolation.
OBJECT OF THE INVENTION
An object of present invention is to provide stable, crystalline or amorphous pyridone disulfide compounds of formula (I) and its stereoisomers useful as proton pump inhibitors for exhibiting gastric acid secretion inhibitory activity.
A further object of the invention is to obtain pyridone disulfide derivatives of formula (I) having desired purity and with associated impurities conforming to regulatory limits.

R1 is methyl, methoxy, fluorine, trifluoromethyl, difluoromethoxy and hydrogen,
R2 is methyl, methoxy and hydrogen,
R3 is methyl and hydrogen.
Yet another aspect of the present invention is to provide a process for the preparation and isolation of stable pyridone disulfide derivatives of formula (I) comprising treatment of compound (IV) with a dealkylating agent to give compound of formula (V) followed by oxidation to give compound of formula (VI) and further treatment with an acid in presence of a solvent in the pH range of 4.5 to 8.5 to provide a compound of formula (I) conforming to regulatory specifications.


DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION
In an embodiment, the present invention provides novel pyridone disulfide derivatives of formula (I), a process for their preparation and isolation of stable compounds of formula (I) in the pH range of 4.5 to 8.5. The invention also includes the preparation of stereoisomeric isomers of stable pyridone disulfide derivatives.




The meaning of term ‘stable’ used herein indicates that the compound of formula (I) is obtained in a stable form, crystalline or amorphous, not easily prone to degradation.
In yet another embodiment, the present invention provides a process for preparation and isolation of novel pyridone disulfide derivatives of formula (I), comprising of the following steps.
Step 1 involves reaction of substituted benzimidazo-2-thiol or substituted imidazo-pyridine-2-thiol (compound II) with substituted-2-chloromethyl-4-methoxy-pyridine derivative (compound III) in presence of a base and solvent to give substituted methoxy-2-pyridinyl-methylsulfidyl benzimidazole or the corresponding imidazo-pyridine derivative (compound IV).
The base was selected from the group comprising of sodium hydroxide, potassium hydroxide, calcium hydroxide, barium hydroxide etc. The solvent was selected from the group comprising of water, methanol, ethanol, isopropanol, butanol etc. and mixtures thereof.
The reaction was carried out at 20-40° C. After completion of the reaction as monitored by TLC, the mixture was filtered to give the respective substituted methoxy-2-pyridinyl-methylsulfidyl benzimidazole derivative or imidazo-pyridine derivative (compound IV) having desired purity.
Step 2 involved regioselective dealkylation of substituted methoxy-2-pyridinyl-methylsulfidyl benzimidazole or imidazo-pyridine derivative (compound IV) in presence of a dealkylating agent and a solvent to give compound of formula (V).
Various dealkylating agents such as sodium sulfide, hydrobromic acid, aluminium chloride etc. were used. In case of sodium sulfide, the reaction was carried out in the temperature range of 80 to 110° C., in presence of a solvent. The solvent was selected from the group comprising of nitriles, alcohols, polar aprotic solvents such as N-methyl pyrrolidone, dimethyl formamide, dimethyl acetamide water or mixtures thereof.
After completion of the reaction based on TLC, the reaction mass was cooled and neutralized with an acid such as acetic acid. Filtration of the obtained solid and drying gave the respective substituted hydroxy-2-pyridinyl-methylsulfidyl-benzimidazole or imidazo-pyridine derivative (compound V) having desired purity.
Alternatively, the dealkylation was also carried out by employing aqueous hydrobromic acid or using Lewis acid halides such as aluminium chloride, zinc chloride, optionally in presence of decanethiol. The reaction was carried out at a temperature ranging from 50-110° C., depending upon the type of the dealkylating reagent used.
After completion of the reaction as monitored by TLC, the product was isolated by concentrating the mixture and adding water followed by addition of an organic solvent like methanol to the aqueous layer at around neutral pH to obtain the desired product of formula (V).
Step 3 comprised treatment of substituted hydroxy-2-pyridinyl-methylsulfidyl-benzimidazole or imidazo-pyridine derivative (compound V) with an oxidizing agent to give compound of formula (VI).
This step involved treatment of compound of formula (V) with an oxidizing agent such as (10)-camphorsulfonyl oxaziridine (CSO) and its stereoisomers or an alkali metal hypochlorite to provide the sulfoxide derivative of formula (VI). The sulfide derivative (V) was treated with the oxidizing agent at 20-35° C. in presence of a base and organic solvent like isopropanol.
The base was selected from inorganic or organic bases. The inorganic base was selected from the group comprising of alkali metal hydroxides, carbonate and bicarbonates etc. while the organic base was selected from DBU, triethyl amine, diisopropyl ethyl amine etc.
The solvent was selected from the group comprising of alcohols such as methyl alcohol, ethyl alcohol, isopropyl alcohol etc. or mixtures thereof. After completion of reaction, as monitored by TLC, the reaction mass was filtered and the filtrate concentrated to get the desired compound (VI) which was optionally treated with organic solvents such as methanol, methyl tertiary butyl ether, toluene etc. or used as such for further reaction.
When oxidation was carried out using hypochlorite, compound (V) was added to a mixture of sodium hydroxide, water and methanol, followed by addition of sodium hypochlorite solution and the reaction was carried out at 20-35° C. The reaction was monitored by TLC and after completion, the reaction mass was extracted with an organic solvent and the organic layer was then concentrated to give the desired compound (VI).
Alternatively, after completion of oxidation reaction, the mass was carried forward for the next reaction. The pH of the reaction mass was adjusted in range of 4.5 to 8.5 using acid and the mass was stirred at 20-35° C. Optionally, an organic solvent such as methanol or ethyl acetate or solvent mixture was added during stirring and resulting solid was filtered after completion of the reaction as monitored by TLC, to give compound of formula (I).
Step 4 comprised treatment of compound (VI) with an acid in a solvent to obtain pH between 4.5 and 8.5, preferably 6.5 to 8, which was then stirred and filtered to obtain the desired compound (I).
The solvent was selected from the group comprising of water and organic solvents or mixtures thereof. The organic solvent was selected from the group comprising of ethers, esters, alcohols, ketones, hydrocarbons and halogenated hydrocarbons. The ethers were selected from the group comprising of dimethyl ether, dimethoxyethane, methyl-tertiary butyl ether etc. The solvents were selected from the group comprising of ethyl acetate, acetone, methanol, toluene, xylene, dichloromethane etc.
The acid employed was selected from an organic or mineral acid or a mixture thereof. The mineral acid was selected from the group comprising of hydrochloric acid, sulfuric acid and nitric acid. The organic acid was selected from the group comprising of acetic acid, citric acid, propionic acid, lactic acid etc., but preferably acetic acid.
In this step, the acid was slowly added with stirring to the mixture of compound (VI) and solvent(s) at 20-35° C., till the desired pH was obtained. The desired pH range varied for different substrates in the class of compound (VI) and ranged from 4.5 to 8.5 but preferably between 6.5 and 8.0. After completion of the reaction, the desired compound of formula (I) separated out from the reaction mixture, filtered and dried. Optionally, the compound of formula (I) was subjected to purification procedures such as crystallization, solvent treatment, treatment with acid, column chromatography etc. to obtain the desired purity.
The desired compounds were obtained as stable, crystalline or amorphous solids and were characterized by 1H NMR, 13C NMR and MS.
The different compounds obtained by varying the substituent in the general formula (I) are provided in Tables 1A and 1B.

General Procedure:
General procedures for preparation of compound IV, compound V and compound VI are given below.
A. Preparation of Compound IV (Scheme-3):
The reaction of substituted benzimidazothiol derivatives or substituted imidazopyridine-thiol derivatives (compound II) with substituted methoxypyridinium hydrochloride derivatives (compound III) was carried out at 25-30° C., in presence of aqueous solution of base such as sodium hydroxide and an organic solvent like methanol. The reaction was monitored by TLC and after completion of the reaction, the mixture was filtered, the solid was separated and dried to give the respective substituted methoxy-pyridinylmethylsulfidyl imidazole or imidazopyridine derivatives (compound IV).
B. Preparation of Compound V
B.1—(Using Sodium Sulfide):
The solution of compound IV in N-methyl pyrrolidone was treated with sodium sulfide at 80-110° C. The reaction was continued till completion of the reaction, as monitored by TLC. The reaction mass was cooled and pH was adjusted in the range of 6 to 7 using aqueous solution of acetic acid. Filtration of the obtained solid and drying gave compound V having desired purity.
B.2—(Using HBr/Acetic Acid):
A stirred mixture of compound IV, acetic acid and aqueous HBr was heated to 100-110° C. till the reaction was complete, as monitored by TLC. After completion, the reaction mass was cooled and concentrated under reduced pressure. The residue was diluted with water and washed with dichloromethane. The aqueous layer was neutralized by addition of sodium carbonate solution, which was followed by addition of methanol and filtered. The residue thus obtained was optionally washed with aqueous methanol and dried to give compound V.
B.3—(Using AlCl3):
A mixture of compound IV, aluminium chloride were stirred in a solvent like chloroform and heated to 50-70° C. till the reaction was complete, as monitored by TLC. The reaction mass was cooled, quenched with water and concentrated. Hydrochloric acid was added to the residue and the aqueous layer was neutralized using aqueous sodium carbonate solution. The precipitated solid was filtered, dried, and optionally purified to give compound V.
C. Preparation of Compound VI
C.1: Oxidation with Camphorsulfonyl Oxaziridine:
(10-Camphorsulfonyl) oxaziridine was gradually added to a solution of compound V and sodium hydroxide in isopropyl alcohol at 25 to 30° C. and stirred at same temperature. After completion of the reaction, as monitored by TLC, the reaction mass was filtered, and the filtrate was concentrated under vacuum to obtain compound VI, which was directly used for further reaction. In some cases, the residue obtained after concentration was dissolved in methanol, concentrated and further treated with toluene and dried to obtain compound VI
C.2: Oxidation with Sodium Hypochlorite:
Compound V was added to a stirred mixture of aqueous sodium hydroxide and methanol, followed by gradual addition of sodium hypochlorite solution at 25-30° C. The reaction mixture was stirred at the same temperature till completion of the reaction and then extracted with an organic solvent. The organic layer was concentrated to give the desired product. Alternatively, the reaction mass containing compound VI was carried forward for the next reaction, without isolating the product.
D—Preparation of Compound I:
A solution of compound VI dissolved in water or an organic solvent or mixtures thereof was treated with acid, which was gradually added to it at 25-30° C., till the pH of the reaction mixture was in the range of 4.5 to 8.5, preferably 6.5 to 8. The mass was stirred till completion of the reaction as monitored by TLC. The suspension thus obtained was filtered and solid was dried to get compound I, which was optionally purified using suitable methods.

The test compound, reference compound or water (control) are pre-incubated for 30 min at 37° C. with the enzyme (5 μg) in a buffer containing 40 mM Hepes/Tris (pH 6.0), 20 mM KCl, 5 mM MgCl2 and 1 mM ouabain. The enzymatic reaction was then initiated by the addition of 2 mM p-NPP.
The absorbance was measured immediately at λ=405 nm using a microplate reader (EnVision, Perkin Elmer). This measurement at t=0 was also used to verify any compound interference with the spectrophotometric detection at the selected wavelength.
Thereafter, the mixture was incubated for 15 min at 37° C., after which time the reaction is stopped by addition of 0.5 M NaOH and a second measurement is made at the same wavelength (t=15). The enzyme activity is determined by subtracting the signal measured at t=0 from that measured at t=15. The results are expressed as a percent inhibition of the control enzyme activity.
The standard inhibitory reference compound is omeprazole,

In Vivo Pharmacology
The anti-ulcer efficacy of various test compounds (I-A-1 to I-A-11, I-B-1 to I-B-3) was assessed in Indomethacin—induced gastric ulceration model in female albino Wistar rats (Bhattacharya S., Banerjee D., Bauri A. K., Chattopadhyay S., Bandyopadhyay S. K. Healing property of the piper betelphenol, allylpyrocatechol against indomethacin-induced stomach ulceration and mechanism of action. World J Gastroenterol., 13(27): 3705-13, 2007; Lee A. Animal models of gastroduodenal ulcer disease. Bailliere's Best Pract. Res. Clinic Gastroenterol., 14(1): 75-96, 2000). The test compounds were administered orally at various doses (0.2, 0.4, 0.8 and 1.6 mg/kg) in comparison to Omeprazole (10 mg/kg) as standard comparator.
Experiments were conducted in overnight fasted healthy female albino Wistar rats maintained at controlled environmental conditions of temperature and humidity with water given ad libitum. Non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drug (NSAID), Indomethacin (30 mg/kg, p.o.) was used to induce gastric ulcer (treatment groups) with a comparative group without indomethacin treatment (negative group). Indomethacin was administered to treatment groups 1 hour after oral treatment with Vehicle (1% CMC), various doses of test compounds (EPPIs) and Omeprazole (10 mg/kg). After 4-6 hours after indomethacin administration, the animals were sacrificed by cervical dislocation and their stomach was dissected out. Various parameters like macroscopic ulcer index, gastric mucus content and gastric acid pH measurements were undertaken. The rat stomachs were cut opened along the greater curvature for macroscopic determination of ulcer index.
All the tested compounds at higher doses (1.6/0.8 mg/kg) produced very significant and equivalent anti-ulcerogenic effect in comparison to Omeprazole (10 mg/kg) in this Indomethacin—induced ulcer model in rats (Table D).
