Description: HEW ALKYL DIAMI1TE DERIVATIVES The present invention relates to alkyl dia ine derivatives, a process for the preparation thereof and pharmaceutical compositions containing same. In the patent specification hereinafter in the general formulae the substituents are defined as fol R or -KH-C0A 1 -R 4 or wherein A stands for C, ,- alkylene which can be substituted by hydroxyl, B stands for a single chemical bond or a double bond, 2 R stands for an aryl or heteroaryl group optionally substituted by halogen, C, , alkoxy or acylamino, Ε stands for hydrogen or C-^ , alkyl, A 1 stands for a single chemical bond or a C, 5 alkyl optionally substituted by hydroxyl or thio- alkylene or oxyalkylene, ^ stands for. a 5- or 6-membered aromatic or hetero¬ aromatic ring which can be substituted by one or more hydroxyl, G η * alkyl and/or C, , alkoxy and/or halogen or methylenedioxy, and the alkyl group can be unsaturated as well Q stands for a 6-membered ring, which can be partially saturated and R stands for C-^ alkyl, B can be a single or double bond, Q 1 stands for halogen, 0-alkyl or an active ester moiety. The present invention refers to compounds of the general formula I salts thereof as well as pharmaceutical compositions containing the compounds of the general formula I. The compounds have not been disclosed so far in the prior art. The biological activity of the new compounds can be advantageously compared with the generally accepted antiarrhythmic agents such as quinidine, and procaine amide. In fact in some cases the activity is several times higher than the activity of said known anti-arrhythmic agents and the toxicity thereof is less than one tenth of the therapeutic dose. The amines and salts of the general formula I prepared according to the invention can be formulated to pharmaceutical compositions by admixing the active ingredients with the conventionally used excipients, such as carriers, lubricating agents and diluents. The pharmaceutical compositions can be administered in the form of parenteral, enteral and peroral compositions. The antiarrhythmic activity of the compounds of the general formula I was compared in a preventive acohitine arrhythmia test on rats as follows: Male and female rats of Wis ar strain weighing 200 to 250 g. were narcotized i.p. with 1.25 g./kg. of urethane and their ECG was registered by a Hellige equipment by II standard limb lead. Arrhythmia was induced by an i.v. infusion of 30 Ug./kg. aconitine nitrate whereafter the ECG was continuously monitored for 30 minutes. • The test substances were always administered to the animals 2 minutes before giving the aconitine infusion, i.v., at i.v. IΕ50/10 ^osis meas red in mice. Those cases were considered positive, where within 30 minutes after the aconitine infusion not a single phase of the arrhythmia occurred. In control animals pretreated i.v. with a 0.9 % sodium chloride solution (0.1 l./lOO g.) (n=20) the arrhythmogenic activity of the aconitine nitrate appeared after 2.88 + 0.32 minutes. In cases of compounds having outstanding anti- arrhythmic activity E 125 and ED 150 values were calculated in arrhythmia test carried out in rats according to Zetler and Strubelt (Arznei .-Forsch. ) Drug. Res. 1980. 0, 1947). The acute intravenous (i.v.) toxicity values of the test-compounds was determined by the method of Litchfield and Wilcoxon and as test-animals white mice of both sex were used (J. of Pharmacol. 1949, 96, 99.). Biological test results obtained for some new diamines according to the invention are summariized in Table II. Per cent values of the positive cases, average time of the appearance of the arrhythmia - when the induced arrhythmia appeared within 30 minutes-and toxicity values are shown. The test results obtained in various arrhythmia tests show that apart from the significant anti- arrhythmic activity of the compound they are also effective from physiological point of view in ceasing heart arrhythmia. The antiarrhythmic effectivity sometimes surpasses the activity of the referential substances: quinidine and procaina ide several times and at the same time when examined the negative inotrop and negative chronotrop activity of these compounds in vitro on isolated atrium compositions, said activities do not achieve the heart frequency decreasing or contraction power decreasing activity of quinidine. A further advantage of the compounds of the present invention is that even in the highest used dosis they do not cause ventricular arrhythmia, they do not induce pathological bradichardia and almost do not influence the blood pressure of the test animals. Thus the compounds can advantageously be used to prevent or cease heart arrhythmia when administered parenterally or enterally. The diamines according to the invention can be combined with other heart drugs, blood pressure regulators, tranquSLizers etc. The new compounds of the general formula according to the invention includes compounds which contain as one or more aromatic rings substituted by chlorine, bromine, iodine or florine. The aromatic rings can bear one or more C- j . alkoxy groups at any - 5 - position. 2 R can also stand for a heteroaryl group which can have 5 or 6 members and can contain at any position one or more nitrogen, oxygen and/or sulphur atoms as heteroatom. Substituent R can be substituted by acyl¬ amino group as well. C " 2 -5 aliphatic acyl groups are preferred which can be straight or branched chained and can, if desired, contain further substituents as well. In the general formula I group A can stand for a C, Λ alkylene group which can be substituted by hydroxyl. This alkylene group can be branched. The hydroxyl group or groups can be at any carbon atom. The present invention also provides a process for the preparation of the compounds of the general formula I and salts thereof. The compounds of the present invention can be prepared by reacting an amine of the general formula II with the compound of general formula III 0 = C - R" (III) IV, σ - A - R" (IV) Q ' VI, depending on the substituents in the end-product. The obtained product is optionally reduced. The acyl amine of the general formula II used as starting material, can contain a pyrroline or pyrrolidine ring. Accordingly the acylated product of the invention can also contain a pyrroline or pyrrolidine ring. If the end-product should be a pyrrolidine-containing product so as starting material a pyrrolidine containing compound of the general formula II can be used or the double bond of the pyrroline ring can be saturated in the diacyl amine acylated according to the invention * When preparing the compound of the general formula IA falling under the scope of the general formula I, as a first step a Schiff base of the general formula IX - 7 - is prepared. According to the invention the condensa¬ tion is preferably carried out in an anhydrous aprotic solvent, preferably in benzene, toluene, xylene or tetrahyd ofuran. The condensation can also be per¬ formed without any solvent. The obtained Schiff bass is isolated from the reaction mixture or can be reduced without isolation. Depending on the reducing agent diamines of the general formula X or XI falling under the scopeof the general formula IA can be prepared. As intermediate products Schiff bases of the general formula XII - 8 - or XIII falling within the scope of the general formula IX can be reduced. When preparing diamines of the general formula X one can subject the Schiff base of the general formula XII to hydrogenation in the presenceof a catalyst. As catalyst one can preferably use palladium. As a solvent alcohol can be employed. As catalyst 5-10 % palladium/ charcoal catalyst can preferably be used at room temperature and at atmospheric pressure. Alternatively when preparing diamines of the general formula X one can use asstarting material a Schiff base of the general formula XIII. In this case reduction is conducted with a complex metal hydride. Sodium or potassium borohydride are preferred and the reduction is performed in the presenceof an alkanol. In order to prepare diamines of the general formula XI it is preferred to use a Schiff base of the general formula XII as a starting material. The reduc¬ tion can be conducted with a complex hydride. Various known complex hydrides can be employed but reduction is preferably carried out with sodium or potassium borohydride. Reduction is preferably conducted in the presence of an alkanol. The reaction mixture can be processed by different methods e.g. the solvent can be evaporated - 9 - and the complex decomposed by water thereafter the compound of the general formula I can be extracted with a water inmiscible solvent such as ether, benzene, ethylacetate or chloroform. In order to prepare diamines of the general formula IB • falling within the scope of the formula I an acyl amine of the general formula II can be reacted with a reactive carboxylic acid derivative suitable to introduce a group of the formula of -C0-A 1-R2 and then in the obtained product the unsaturated bond is optionally reduced and/or if desired, a salt is formed with an organic or inorganic acid residue. For the acylation as reactive carboxylic acid derivatives carboxylic acid halides, preferably chlorides, bromides can be employed. Other active carboxylic acid derivatives are also suitable for acylation, such as acid esters or active esters. Thus chloroformic acid ethyl ester, pentahalogen phenyl ester or carboxylic acid succinimide esters etc. containing -A 1-R2 group can preferably be used. If the acylation is performed with carboxylic acid halides the reaction is preferably performed in an anhydrous aprotic solvent. As solvents tetrahyd of ran, ether, benzene, toluene etc. are preferred. If the acylation is conducted with active esters, as solvents alcohols, such as ethanol or tetrahyd ofuran are pre¬ ferred. Acylation is carried out at room temperature or at the boiling point of the reaction mixture. The reaction mixture is preferably processed by purifying the reaction mixture from the formed side products, such as hydrochloric acid or active alcohol. For this purpose mild alkaline extraction is used with a suitable solvent. After removing the organic layer the product is obtained optionally after evaporation of the solvent. In order to prepare an end-product containing pyrrolidine the double bond of the pyrroline ring in the product can be saturated. Reduction is preferably performed by catalytic hydrogenation in the presence of a catalyst. As a catalyst one can use the conven¬ tional suitable hydrogenating catalysts, such as palladium, platina, Raney-nickel, etc. One can prefer- ably perform the hydrogenation in the presence of palladium/charcoal (5-10 %) catalyst at room temperature, at atmospheric pressure in an alcoholic solution. Hydrogenation is continued until the reaction mixture ceases to consume hydrogen. After evaporation of the solvent the product is suitable for salt formation without further purification. The active esters are prepared by method known per se. The characteristic data of the esters are summarized in Table III. The preparation of the esters is disclosed in Examples 6 and 7. The new phthalimide derivatives and salts of the general formula IC 11 - according to the invention can be prepared by a) reacting a carboxa ide derivative of the general formula II with the phthalic acid anhydride derivative of the general formula V preferably in the presence of an aprotic solvent or b) a carboxylic acid of the general formula VIII is heated preferably in the presence of an aprotic solvent or c) a carboxamide derivative of the general formula II is reacted with the phthalimide derivative of the general formula VI, preferably without any solvent. According to variants a) or b) of this process one can preferably proceed by conducting the reaction in the presence of trialkyla ine or benzene or toluene at the boiling point of the reaction mixture. The reaction mixture is worked up by distilling the solvent and the optionally used trialkylamine, prefer¬ ably at reduced pressure. From the residue or the cooled melt acid addition salts can be formed which are purified by crystallization. In order to prepare a compound of the general formula I containing pyrrolidine, one can use an amine containing pyrrolidine of the general formula II as starting material. One can also prepare a product containing a pyrroline ring and one can saturate the double bond of the pyrroline ring of the phthali ide derivative. The reduction is preferably carried out by catalytic hydrogenation in the presence of platina palladium, Raney-nickel etc. catalysts. The hydro ena- tion is preferably performed in the presence of 5-10 per cent palladium/charcoal catalyst at room temperature and at atmospheric pressure until the ceasing of the con¬ sumption of the hydrogen gas. As a solvent alcohol is preferred. The product is isolated after evaporation of the solvent. Condensation is performed in an aprotic solvent at the boiling point of the reaction mixture preferably by simultaneous removal of water and as aprotic solvent benzene or toluene can be used. The reaction mixture can preferably be worked up by evaporating the solvent and by dissolving the residue in absolute ethanol, acidifying the mixture to pH a 3 by adding ethyl alcohol saturated with hydrochloric acid gas or by dissolving the residue in anhydrous acetone and acidifying the mixture by introducing HCl gas. The product can be crystallized preferably from alcohol—ether and thus a pure product can be obtained. The compounds of the general formula VII can be prepared by a method known from the article (J.Med. Chem., 10, 1182 /1967/) from anthranylic acid and acetic acid anhydride. - 13 - The compounds of the general formula II used in " the above synthesis are new. They can be prepared by reacting 2,2,6,6-tetramethyl-2,6-dibromo-piperidine- 4-one or HBr salt thereof (Ann. Chem. 322 /1902/ 77) with a suitable diaminoalkane in aqueous solution and by optional hydrogenation of the product.

They can be prepared from carboxamide and phthalic acid anhydride derivative of the general formula V by reacting said compound in the presence of tetrahydrofuran at room temperature. In order to prepare new quinazolone derivatives of the general formula ID a carboxamide derivative of the general formula II is condensed with a benzoxazinone derivative of the general formula VII and the obtained quinazolinone derivative is reacted with an acid to form a salt, if desir The present invention provides also a process for the preparation of the salts of the compounds of the general formula I. Salts can be formed from organic or inorganic acids, such as hydrochloric acid, sulphuric acid, acetic acid, fu aric acid, para-toluene- sulphonic acid or acid ions and from one salt an other salt can be prepared or the free base can be set free from the salts.
