Description: BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION This invention relates to a novel aminostyryl compound having leukotriene antagonistic action and a leukotriene antagonistic composition containing the same as the active ingredient. For prophylaxis or therapy of allergic diseases, there are the method which inhibits liberation of the mediator of anaphylaxis and the method which permits an antagonist to act on the mediator liberated. Disodium cromoglycate [The Merck Index, ninth edition 2585 (1976)] and Tranirast [Journal of Japanese Pharmacology, 74 , 699 (1978)] are typical drugs belonging to the former and those belonging to the latter may include drugs antagonistic to hystamine which is one of the mediators of allergic reactions such as diphenehydramine, chlorophenylamine, astemizole, terfenadine, clemastine, etc., as well known drugs. However, a substance which cannot be antagonized with an anti-hystamine agent, namely SRS (Slow Reacting Substance) has been suggested to be liberated from the lung of a bronchial asthma patient [Progr. Allergy, 6 , 539 (1962)], and recently these SRS [leukotriene C₄(LTC₄), leukotriene D₄(LTD₄) and leukotriene E₄(LTE₄)] are comprehensively called SRS [Proc. Natl. Acad. Sci. U.S.A., 76 , 4275 (1979) and 77 , 2014 (1980); Nature, 285 , 104 (1980)] and considered as the important factor participating in human asthma attack [Proc. Natl. Acad. Sci. U.S.A., 80 , 1712 (1983)]. Some leukotriene antagonists have been known in patents or literatures. For example, there have been known FPL-55712 [Agents and Actions, 9 , 133 (1979)] represented by the following formula: KC-404 [Jap. J. Pharm., 33 , 267 (1983)] represented by the following formula: KZ-111 [Chem. Abst, registration number 72637-30-0] represented by the following formula: and the compound represented by the following formula (U.S. Patent No. 4,296,129): represented by the following formula: wherein R₁ represents a hydrogen atom, an alkyl group having 1 to 4 carbon atoms or a group represented by the following formula: (wherein R₃ and R₄ each represent an alkyl group having 1 to 3 carbon atoms); R₂ represents an alkyl group having 8 to 15 carbon atoms or a cycloalkyl group having 6 to 12 carbon atoms; R₅ and R₆ each represent a hydrogen atom or a methyl group. However, none of these have been clinically applied. As aminostyryl compounds, there have been known compounds (West Germany Patent No. 23 31 444) represented by the following formulas: and a compound [Arzneim Forsch, 19 , 719 (1969)] represented by the following formula: However, in this scientific and patent literature, nothing is mentioned about the leukotriene antagonistic action. Further, compounds represented by the following formulas: were disclosed in Japanese Unexamined Patent Publication No. 142968/1980, as novel compounds having antiallergic and anti-inflammatory action. However, there is no disclosure of the leukotriene antagonistic action. European Patent Application No. 0 137 979 discloses a compound represented by the formula : wherein : A is (substituted)pyrazinyl, (substituted)pyrimidinyl or (substituted)pyridazinyl; R₁ is hydrogen or alkyl of 1 to 4 carbon atoms; R₂ is hydrogen, methyl, hydroxyl, alkoxy of 1 to 4 carbon atoms, di(alkyl of 1 to 2 carbon atoms)amino-(alkoxy of 1 to 4 carbon atoms) or -HN-CO-CO-OR₁, and a composition containing the same as an anti-allergic and anti-inflammatory agent. In this compound, the linking group between the group -NH- and the group -COO- is CO- which consists of only one chain member. The pharmacological test for evaluating anti-allergic and anti-inflammatory action, which is described in European Patent Application No. 0 137 979, is the Passine Cutaneous Anaphylaxis test (PCA) which is a screening method for evaluating a compound with respect to its ability to inhibit liberation of a chemical mediator and not a method for screening a substance having antagonism against a chemical mediator liberated. Moreover, there is no description concerning the leukotriene (SRS) antagonism. SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION The present inventors have sought compounds having antagonistic action to leukotriene which are effective as therapeutical medicines for various diseases caused by leukotriene, and consequently found that a novel aminostyryl derivative has excellent leukotriene antagonistic action thus accomplishing the present invention. The aminostyryl compound of the present invention is a compound represented by the following Formula I: in which A and B have the meanings hereafter defined. DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE PREFERRED EMBODIMENTS In Formula I described above, as the linking group in the definition of A any group having 3 or 4 atoms as the chain members constituting the linking group may be used, however, it should particularly preferably contain carbon atom. Such a linking group may include, for example, -CH=CHCO-, -(CH₂) m CO- (wherein m represents an integer of 2 or 3), -(CH₂) n - (wherein n represents an integer of 3 or 4), (wherein R₁ and R₂ each independently represent a hydrogen atom or an alkyl group having 1 to 4 carbon atoms).

These monocyclic type heterocyclic residue and condensed heterocyclic residue may be substituted with a suitable group, for example, a lower alkyl group such as methyl, ethyl, etc.; a lower alkoxy group such as methoxy, ethoxy, etc.; an amino group, a halogen atom or an aryl group such as phenyl, etc., or an oxo group. The alkyl group having 5 to 7 carbon atoms may include amyl, isoamyl, sec-amyl, sec-isoamyl(1,2-dimethylpropyl), t-amyl(1,1-dimethylpropyl), hexyl, isohexyl(4-methylpentyl), sec-hexyl(1-methylpentyl), 2-methylpentyl, 3-methylpentyl, 1,1-dimethylbutyl, 2,2-dimethylbutyl, 3,3-dimethylbutyl, 1,2-dimethylbutyl, 1,3-dimethylbutyl, 1,2,2-trimethylpropyl, heptyl, isoheptyl(5-methyl hexyl), 2,2-dimethylpentyl, 3,3-dimethylpentyl, 4,4-dimethylpentyl, 1,2-dimethylpentyl, 1,3-dimethylpentyl, 1,4-dimethylpentyl, 1,2,3-trimethylbutyl, 1,1,2-trimethylbutyl, 1,1,3-trimethylbutyl, etc. The aminostyryl compound of the present invention is not limited to a specific isomer, but includes all of geometric isomers, stereoisomers, optical isomers and their mixtures such as racemic modification. In some aminostyryl compounds of the invention, A is : The aminostyryl compound of the present invention can be synthesized according to various methods. For example, it can be synthesized according to the synthetic routes [A] and [B] shown below. In the synthetic routes, A and B have the same meanings as defined above, A₁ represents a linking group having 2 to 3 chain members, M represents an alkali metal atom, X represents a halogen atom and R₃ represents an alkyl group having 1 to 5 carbon atoms. The aniline derivative (II) used as the starting material can be synthesized according to a known method [Tetrahedron Letters, 25 , 839 (1984)]. In the synthetic route [A], the aniline derivative (II) is allowed to react with 0.8 to 2 equivalent amounts of a cyclic acid anhydride to obtain the compound (Ia) (step [A-1]). As the reaction solvent, there may be employed aromatic hydrocarbons such as toluene, benzene, etc.; ether type solvent such as ethyl ether, dioxane, tetrahydrofuran, etc.; halogenated hydrocarbons such as chloroform, dichloromethane, etc. This reaction may be carried out at a temperature from under ice-cooling to the boiling point of the solvent, particularly preferably from room temperature to 60 °C. The compound (Ia) can be converted to an alkali metal salt (Ib) by the reaction with a carbonate, a hydrogencarbonate or a hydroxide of the corresponding alkali metal in a hydrous alcoholic solvent (step [A-2]). In the synthetic route [B], a ω-halocarboxylic acid ester can be N-alkylated by the reaction with the compound (II) in the presence of an organic base such as triethylamine, pyridine, etc., in a solvent such as aromatic hydrocarbons, ethers or halogenated hydrocarbons, at a temperature from O°C to the boiling point of the solvent to synthesize the compound (III) (step [B-1]). After the compound is hydrolyzed in a conventional manner in a hydrous alcoholic solvent with an alkali metal type inorganic base such as sodium hydroxide, potassium carbonate, etc., the product can be treated with a mineral acid to obtain a free carboxylic acid (I) (step [B-2]). The compound (Ic) can be synthesized according to the same method as in the step [A-2] (step [B-3]). The compound (I) of the present invention is characterized by having a marked leukotriene antagonistic action. More specifically, when the antagonistic action to SRS was tested in vitro by use of an extirpated ileum of a guinea pig for the compound of the present invention, it has been found to have a selective antagonistic action for SRS even at an extremely low concentration. The leukotriene antagonist of the present invention contains the compound represented by the above formula (I) or its pharmaceutically acceptable salt as the active ingredient together with a solid or liquid carrier or diluent for medicine, namely additives such as excipients, stabilizers, etc. When attention is given to the acidity of the carboxylic group of the present compound (I), preferable salts are non-toxic salts which are pharmaceutically acceptable such as alkali metal salts and alkaline earth metal salts such as sodium salts, pottasium salts, magnesium salts, calcium salts or aluminum salts. It is similarly preferable to use adequate non-toxic amine salts such as ammonium salts, lower-alkylamine [e.g. triethylamine] salts, hydroxy lower-alkylamine [e.g. 2-hydroxyethylamine, bis-(2-hydroxyethyl)amine, tris(hydroxymethyl)aminomethane or N-methyl-D-glucamine] salts, cycloalkylamine [e.g. dicyclohexylamine] salts, benzylamine [e.g. N,N'-dibenzylethylenediamine] salts and dibenzylamine salts. When the compound (I) of the present invention has a basic rediue or a substituent, preferable salts may include non-toxic salts such as hydrochlorides, methanesulfonates, hydrobromides, sulfates, phosphates, fumarates, succinates, etc. These salts are water-soluble and hence most preferable when used for injections. In said leukotriene antagonist, the proportion of the active ingredient to the carrier component in therapy may be variable between 1 wt.% to 90 wt.%. The leukotriene antagonist may be administered orally in the dosage form such as granules, fine particles, powders, tablets, hard capsules, soft capsules, syrup, emulsion, suspension or solution, or alternatively administered intravenously, intramascularly or subcutaneously as injections. Also, it can be used as topical administration preparation to rectum, nose, eye, lung in the dosage form such as suppository, collunarium, eye drops or inhalent. Further, it can be used in the form of powder for injection which is to be formulated when used. It is possible to use an organic or inorganic, solid or liquid carrier or diluent for medicine suitable for oral, rectal, parenteral or local administration, for preparation of the leukotriene antagonist of the present invention. Examples of the excipient to be used in preparation of a solid preparation may include lactose, sucrose, starch, talc, cellulose, dextrin, kaolin, calcium carbonate, etc. Liquid preparations for oral administration, namely, emulsion, syrup, suspension, solution, etc., contain inert diluents generally employed such as water or vegetable inert diluents oils, etc. These preparations can contain, in addition to the inert diluent, auxiliary agents such as humectants, suspension aids, sweeteners, aromatics, colorants or preservatives. It may also be formulated into a liquid preparation which is contained in capsules of absorbable substances such as gelatin. As the solvent or suspending agent to be used for production of preparations for parentheral administration, namely injections, suppositories, collunarium, eye drops, inhalent, etc., there may be employed, for example, water, propylene glycol, polyethylene glycol, benzyl alcohol, ethyl oleate, lecithin, etc. As the base to be used for suppository, there may be included, for example, cacao fat, emulsified cacao fat, laurine fat, Witepp sol, etc. The preparations can be prepared according to conventional methods. The clinical dose, when used by oral administration, may be generally 0.01 to 1000 mg/day as the compound of the present invention for human adult, preferably 0.01 to 100 mg, but it is more preferable to increase or decrease suitably the dose depending on the age, condition of disease and symptoms. The above mentioned dose per day of the leukotriene antagonist may be administered once per day or in 2 or 3 divided doses per day at suitable intervals, or intermittently. On the other hand, when used as an injection, it is preferable to administer continuously or intermittently 0.001 to 100 mg/administration as the compound of the present invention to human adult. According to the present invention, a novel aminostyryl compound having remarkable leukotriene antagonistic action can be provided. Said aminostyryl compound is useful as the leukotriene antagonist for prophylaxis and therapy of various diseases in which leukotriene participates.
