Description: NOVEL PIPERAZINYL-BIS(ALKYLAMINO)PYRIMIDINE DERIVATIVES AN PROCESS FOR PREPARING SAME The invention relates to novel piperazinyl—bis(alkyl amino)pyrimidine derivatives of the formula wherein two of X, Y and Z mean a nitrogen atom each and the thir one is a methine group; R 1 and R 2 represent, independently from each other, a prim ary amino group bearing as substituent a branched-chai C4_ 8 alkyl, -alkenyl or -alkynyl group, or a C4_ι 0 cyclo alkyl group comprising 1 to 3 ring(s) and being option ally substituted by Cι_ 3 alkyl group(s) ; or R 1 and R 2 stand together for a spiro-heterocyclic secondar amino group containing at most 10 carbon atoms an optionally at least one oxygen atom as an additiona heteroatom; or one of R 1 and R 2 means an unsubstituted heterocyclic second ary amino group containing 4 to 7 carbon atoms and th other one is an above-identified primary amino group an above-identified spiro- eterocyclic secondary amin group, or a heterocyclic secondary amino group con taining 4 to 7 carbon atoms and substituted by Cι_4 alkyl group(s); and n is 1 or 2, as well as their acid addition salts. Further, the invention relates to a process for t preparation of the above compounds. The compounds of the formula (I) according to t invention are new and possess a significant biologica activity in themselves; however, their use in the prepara tion of lipid peroxidation-inhibiting substances bears greater importance. Hereinafter and in the claims primary amino groups ar meant to contain a hydrogen atom as one substituent wherea the other substituent is a branched-chain C4_ 8 alkyl, -alke nyl or —alkynyl group, or a C 4 _ιo c Y cl - oa lkyl group, compris ing 1 to 3 rings, and being optionally substituted by C1--. 3 alkyl group(s) . The branched-chain C4_ 8 alkyl, -alkenyl a —alkynyl groups may be various iso-, sec— and te t-butyl butenyl, pentyl, pentenyl, pentynyl, hexyl, hexenyl, hexy nyl, pentyl, heptenyl, heptynyl, octyl, octenyl and octyny groups. Preferred representatives of these are the 1,1—di methylethyl, 2,2—dimethylpropyl and 4,4— imethyl—1—penten—5 —yl groups. The C4_ιo c y c loalkyl group comprising 1 to 3 rings a being optionally substituted by Cι_3alkyl group(s) can e.g. a cyclobutyl, cyclopentyl, cyclohexyl, cycloheptyl o adamantyl group. These groups may be unsubstituted or bea one or more methyl, ethyl or propyl group(s) as substi tuents. As R 1 and R 2 , the spiro-heterocyclic secondary ami group corresponding at most 10 carbon atoms and optionall at least one additional oxygen heteroatom is exemplified the 4,4—ethylenedioxy—1—piperidinyl group, without any limi tation thereto. When representing an unsubstituted heterocyclic secon ary amino group containing 4 to 7 carbon atoms, one of and R 2 may preferably be a pyrrolidino, piperidino or aze- pino group. In this case, the other one of R 1 and R 2 means either a primary amino group mentioned above, or an above- defined secondary heterocyclic group having spiro structure, or an above-defined heterocyclic secondary amino group con¬ taining 4 to 7 carbon atoms and substituted by Cι_ 4 alkyl group(s) . These Cι_4alkyl groups may be the same or differ¬ ent, e.g. methyl, ethyl, n- or isopropyl, or n-, iso-, sec- or tert—butyl groups. A preferred representative of these substituted heterocyclic secondary amino groups is e.g. the 2,2,6,6—tetramethyl—1—piperidiny1 group. Lipid peroxidation occurring as a consequence of injuries is a secondary process. Some cells are immediately destroyed when the tissues are damaged. During the next hours the injury is extended to the surrounding cells. This is induced by free oxygen radicals which attack the lipid layer of the cellular membrane and may eventually lead to cell death by damaging the membrane and releasing hydrogen peroxide. Compounds inhibiting the lipid peroxidation can prevent this secondary process occurring as sequels of e.g. paralyses, cephalic or spinal traumas. Compounds possessing such an effect may be utilized e.g. for the treatment of Alzheimer's disease, muscular dystrophy and the like. The following publications discussing the preparation of piperazinylpyrimidine derivatives are known; the prepara¬ tion of antiinflammatory 2,4—diamino—6—piperazinylpyrimidine derivatives is described in the GB patent specification No. 1,345,640. In the target compounds the amino groups, being the same or different, may be monoalkylamino groups con- taining 1 to 6 carbon atoms, cycloalkylamino groups contain¬ ing at most 6 carbon atoms or a orpholino group whereas the amino group in position 4 may be a piperazino group, too. According to this patent specification the starting substance of the synthesis is 2,4,6—trichloropyrimidine of the formula (IV) (see hereinafter) which is first reacted with morpholine, then the dichloro compound obtained is brought into reaction with ethylamine, finally the mon chloro compound formed is reacted with piperazine to give —ethylamino-2—morpholino-6-(l-piperazinyl)pyrimidine as described in the examples. Compounds containing a morpholi group as one of the two amino groups and a cycloalkylami or monoalkylamino group containing at most 4 carbon ato are indicated to be most effective. Among these in the pr ferred compounds one of the two amino groups is ethylami or cyclopropylamino group, the other one is a morpholi group. Detailed examples with physical characteristics a given for the preparation of 2—ethylamino—4—morpholino—6-( —piperazinyl)pyrimidine and 4—cyclopropylamino—2—morpholin —6—(1—piperaziny1)pyrimidine, too. In the published German patent specification N 2,630,140 2,4—diaminopyrimidine derivatives are describe wherein the amino groups are mono- or disubstituted; t substituents may be Cι_4alkyl, C 2 _4alkenyl or cycloprop groups. post-emergent herbicidal activity is attributed these compounds. The synthesis of [piperazinyl-bis(amino)pyrimidinyl steroids of primarily lipid peroxidation-inhibiting activi is described in the published PCT patent application No. 87/01706. There are given examples for the preparation piperazinyl—bis(alkylamino)pyrimidine derivatives used starting substances for the steroid derivatives mention above, too. Thus, 2,4,6—trichloropyrimidine is react primarily with saturated or unsaturated amines containing to 3 carbon atoms as well as pyrrolidine, morpholine, hex methyleneimine or N—methylpiperazine. According to t biological data published in this application, 4—(1-piper zinyl)—2,6—bis(pyrrolidino)pyrimidine proved to be the mo favourable one for the preparation of lipid peroxidatio inhibiting compounds. It is known from the published PCT patent applicati No. WO P 91/11453 that the strength of the lipid peroxi ation-inhibiting effect is significantly influenced by usi some piperazinyl-bis(alkylamino)pyrimidine derivatives as substituents connected e.g. to compounds having steroid skeleton or other substances having a similar structure. The present invention is aimed at the preparation of analogous piperazinylpyrimidine derivatives which, when used as substituents, are capable of increasing the biological activity and decreasing the toxicity of the molecules sub¬ stituted by these substituents, in comparison to known analogues. Surprisingly, it has been found that the compounds of the formula (I) according to the invention are excellent for this purpose. The piperazinylpyrimidine compounds according to the invention can be used as substituents for various compounds, e.g. pregnane derivatives. The novel piperazinyl—bis(alkylamino)pyrimidine deriva¬ tives of the formula (I) can be prepared in such a way that a) about 1 mole of a 2,4,6-trichloropyrimidine charac¬ terized by formula wherein X, Y and Z are as defined above, is reacted with about 1 mole of a primary or secondary amine of the formula R 1 —H, wherein R 1 is as defined above, the obtained isomeric mixture of a 2—amino—4,6—di- chloropyrimidine of the formula and a 4—amino—2,6-dichloropyrimidine of the formula wherein R 1 is as defined above, is separated to t individual isomers, and about 1 mole of a thus obtained individual isomer reacted with about 1 mole of a primary or secondary amine the formula R 2 —H, wherein R 2 is as defined above, then after separating the isomeric mixture of diaminochlor pyrimidines of the formula and formula wherein R 1 and R 2 are as defined above, obtained from a 4- —amino—2,6-dichloropyrimidine of the formula (Illb) , wherein R 1 is as defined above, to the individual isomers, one of these individual isomers or a 2,6-diamino-4- —chloropyrimidine of the formula wherein R 1 and R 2 are as defined above, obtained from a 2- —amino—4,6-dichloropyrimidine of the formula (Ilia), is reacted with a piperazine derivative of the formula wherein n is 1 or 2; or b) about 1 mole of a 2,4,6—trichloropyrimidine charac¬ terized by the formula (IV) , wherein X, Y and Z are as defined above, is reacted with about 2 moles of a primary or secondary amine of the formula R 1 -!., wherein R 1 is as defined above, then after separating the obtained, isomeric mixture of di- a inochloropyrimidines of the formulae (Ilba) (Ilbb wherein R 1 and R 2 are the same as R 1 defined above, to t individual isomers, one of these individual isomers reacted with a piperazine derivative of the formula (V wherein n is 1 or 2, in order to obtain piperazinyl-bi (alkylamino)pyri idine derivatives of the formula (I) bea ing identical substituents as R 1 and R 2 , wherein X, Y, R 1 , R 2 and n are as defined above, and, if desired, a piperazinyl-bis(alkylamino)pyrim dine derivative of the formula (I) obtained, wherein X, Z, R 1 , R 2 and n are as defined above, is converted into acid addition salt by reacting it with an acid and/or a fr base of the formula (I) is liberated from its acid additi salt. 2,4,6—Trichloropyrimidine used as starting substance the process of the invention is a well-known compound [Be 33, pages 3666 (1900) and 3_7, page 3657 (1904) ; Chem. Abst Registration No. 3764—01—0]. The primary and seconda amines of the formulae R 1 —H and R 2 —H, as well as the piper zine derivatives of the formula (V) are commercially avai able products. Depending on the reactivity of the amine, the reacti of a 2,4,6-trichloropyrimidine of the formula (IV) wi primary or secondary amines of the formula R 1 —H may carried out at a temperature between —20°C and +40°C with reaction time of from 30 minutes up to several days. Wh using the sterically hindered 2,2,6,6—tetramethylpiperidi (which may be used as a solvent, too) a boiling under refl for about 50 hours are necessary at the boiling point of t reaction mixture for completing the reaction. The working- of the reaction mixture as well as the recovery of t product are preferably carried c:t in such a manner th after termination of the reaction the solvent is distill off, the residue is dissolved in a halogenated solvent, pr ferably chloroform, then the solution is washed first wi aqueous sodium hydroxide solution and subsequently wi - 9 - . water. After separation the organic phase is dried, the sol vent is distilled off, then the two alkylamino—dichloropyri midine isomers formed in the reaction are separated by chro matography on a silica gel column. The separated individua isomers are purified by recrystallization. After separation the iso eric alkylamino—dichloropyri midine derivatives of the formula (Ilia) and (Illb) obtaine in the first step are again reacted with the same or differ ent amine. The parameters of this reaction are mainl dependent on the reactivity of the amine reactant. Thus, th reaction can be made complete at room temperature when pyr rolidine is used as an amine; whereas a reaction lasting fo about 15 hours at 130°C is needed in the case of tert-butyl amine. The reaction of neopentylamine with the isomeri alkylamino—dichloropyrimidine derivatives can be carried ou under milder conditions: this reaction becomes complete b boiling in isopropanol for about 20 hours. The less reactiv 5—amino—4,4—dimethyl—1—pentene reacts with the isomeri alkylamino-dichloropyrimidine derivatives only at highe temperatures. Due to its large space demand, 1—amino—adaittan tane should be reacted by boiling in n—butanol for about 7 hours. The recovery of the individual isomers from reactio mixtures containing the diaminochloropyrimidine isomers o the formulae (Ilba) and (Ilbb) , formed from 4—amino—2,6—di chloropyrimidine of the formula (Illb) in the second step can be achieved by using e.g. the method described above fo the recovery of compounds of the formulae (Ilia) and (Illb) According to the invention the preparation of piperazi nylpyrimidine derivatives of the formula (I) by reactin bis(alkylamino)—chloropyrimidine derivatives of formula (Ila) , (Ilbb) or (Ilba) with piperazine derivatives of for mula (V) is suitably carried out as described hereinafter. The bis(alkylamino)—chloropyrimidine derivative of th formula (Ila) or (Ilbb) or (Ilba) is dissolved in a tertiar amine, preferably N-ethylmorpholine, and boiled with a excess of the piperazine derivative of the formula (V) und nitrogen for about 25 hours. After the reaction has beco complete, N-ethylmorpholine used as solvent and the maj part of the excess of the piperazine derivative of the fo mula (V) are distilled off, water is added to the resid and distilled off again. This repeated distillation is co tinued under atmospheric pressure until the head temperatu reaches about 100°C. After dissolving the residue in chlor form the solution is washed first with aqueous sodium hyd oxide solution, then with water. After separation t organic phase is dried and the chloroform is distilled of The residue is purified first by chromatography on a sili gel column and then by recrystallization. The advantage of using the piperazinyl-bis(alkylamino pyrimidine derivatives of the formula (I) for the prepar tion of lipid peroxidation-inhibiting compounds is demo strated on 21—{4-[2,4-bis(adamantylamino)—6—pyrimidinyl]- -piperazinyl}—16α-methylpregna-l,4,9(11)triene-3,20-dione methanesulfonate. The pharmacological study was carried out on unane thetized mice by using a known experimental cephalic trau model [J. Neurosurg. _ 2. . page 882 (1980)] modified by us. this study, the potential cerebroprotective effects intravenous (i.v.) doses of the compounds were investigate A metal cleaver of defined weight was let fall onto defined part of the scullcap surface of the experiment animals from a defined height under the force of gravit Within 5 minutes following the closed cephalic inju induced by the cleaver, a suitable dose of the substan under test was injected to a tail vein of the animals a the neurological condition of the animals was evaluated the 60th minute following the cephalic trauma. This eval ation was performed by using a simple grip test, examination of the intactness or affectedness of the mot functions of. both the upper and lower limbs. In additio the frequency of cases considered to be "mild" or "severe - 11 -. based on pretermined criteria, as well as the ratio o animals suffering from paraparesis-paraplegia were regis tered in the various treatment groups. The development o eventually occurring deficiency symptoms of the nervou system was made quantitative by comparison of the neuro logical condition of animals treated with the active agen to the condition of controls treated only with the vehicle. When administered in the most favourable dose of 0. mg/kg 2 -■— i4—[2,4-bis(adamantylamino)-6-pyrimidiny1]-1-pipe razinyl}—16α—methylpregna—1,4,9(ll)triene—3,20—dione methanesulfonate increased by 33% the number of cases signe as "mild" (based on the neurological symptoms induced by th cephalic trauma) and similarly, it decreased by 33% th frequency of cases involving paraparesis-paraplegia. Th known tirilazad mesylate (see the published PCT paten application No. WO 87/01706) , chemically 16α-methyl-21-{4 —[2,4—bis(pyrrolidino)-6—pyrimidinyl]—1—piperaziny1}pregna- —1,4,9(ll) N triene—3,20—dione methanesulfonate, was used a control. When administered in the most effective dose of 0. mg/kg, tirilazad mesylate increased only by 23% the numbe of animals showing "mild" deficiency symptoms and decrease only by 20% the frequency of paraplegic animals. Thus, it is obvious from the experimental results tha the compounds according to our invention increase the lipi peroxidation-inhibiting effect of the basic substance to higher grade in comparison to known compounds having similar structure.
