Description: TECHNICAL FIELD The present invention relates to a novel imidazole derivative and a medicinal composition comprising it as an active ingredient. BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION AIDS (acquired immune deficiency syndrome) is a serious social problem spread over the world as a refractory viral disease caused by HIV and the research and development of anti-HIV drugs have been undertaken on a worldwide scale. To this day, nucleic acid derivatives such as azidodeoxythymidine (AZT), dideoxyinosine (DDI), dideoxycytidine (DDC), dideoxydidehydrothymidine (D4T), and 3'-thiacytidine (3TC) have been developed as major target and put to use clinically, but severe adverse reactions and decreace of the efficacy due to occurrence of resistant strains have produced new problems and, therefore, the development of new therapeutic drugs has been eagerly awaited. The pathologic picture of AIDS has not been fully elucidated yet, and recently it has been found that even in asymptomatic patients whose clinical stage is considered to be at a latent period, virologically the virus is actively proliferated in the lymph node. Therefore, development of an improved anti-HIV drug is an important social need today. Meanwhile, explorations into various imidazole derivatives have been undertaken with the view of utilizing them as medicines. US Patent 3968228 describes imidazole derivatives effective for the therapy of coccidiosis in animals as well as a variety of imidazole derivatives as intermediates for their synthesis. In the imidazole derivatives disclosed, however, the substituent attached directly to the imidazole ring via a -S-, -SO-, or -SO 2 - moiety is limited to alkyl groups. US Patent 4592774 discloses imidazole derivatives which are of use as herbicides. However, all the disclosed imidazole derivatives necessarily have an optionally substituted phenylmethyl in the 2-position of the imidazole ring. Japanese Kokai Hei-2-83373 discloses a series of imidazole derivatives of value as agrochemicals, medicines, perfumes, or polymer materials. These imidazole derivatives are substituted by hydrogen, cyano, carbamoyl, thiocarbamoyl, or a group of the formula COOR 2 (those represented by substituent Y in the publication) in the 4- and/or 5-position(s). Japanese Kokai Hei-5-252270 describes imidazole derivatives having anti-HIV activity. In the disclosed imidazole derivative, however, the substituent in the 1-position of the imidazole ring is limited to groups of the formula -(CH 2 ) n -O-R 3 having an ether linkage. J. Chem. Soc., Perkin Trans. 1 1972, pp 1955-1960 and pp 1960-1963 describes imidazole derivatives which are excluded from present claim 1 by proviso. No biological activity is reported for these compounds. SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION In view of the above state of the art, the present invention has for its object to provide a compound having the activity to specifically inhibit proliferation of the causative virus HIV in the lymph node and yet a low toxic potential. The inventors of the present invention discovered that a series of imidazole derivatives having herein-defined substituent groups meet the above object and completed the present invention. Thus, the present invention is essentially directed to any of such imidazole derivatives and medicinal compositions comprising them as active ingredient.

(1510)2-(2-Azidoethyl)-4-isopropyl-1-methyl-5-phenylthio-1H-imidazole The salts of above-mentioned compounds of the present invention are not particularly restricted only if they are pharmacologically acceptable. Thus, for example, salts with mineral acids such as hydrochloric acid, sulfuric acid, nitric acid, phosphoric acid, hydrofluoric acid, hydrobromic acid, etc.; salts with organic acids such as formic acid, acetic acid, tartaric acid, lactic acid, citric acid, fumaric acid, maleic acid, succinic acid, methanesulfonic acid, ethanesulfonic acid, benzenesulfonic acid, toluenesulfonic acid, naphthalenesulfonic acid, camphorsulfonic acid, etc., and salts with alkali metals or alkaline earth metals such as sodium, potassium, calcium, etc. can be mentioned. The compounds of the present invention are novel ones discovered by the present inventors and, as will be described hereinafter, are a non-nucleic acid low-molecular-weight compound which specifically inhibits the reverse transcriptase of HIV-1 (NNRTI). The activity of the above compounds is comparable with that of AZT and, in an assay system using human peripheral blood lymphocytes infected with a fresh isolate of the virus, exhibits greater activity than AZT. The above compound further has potent activity against AZT-resistant strains and mutants showing cross resistance to many NNRTIs, and the occurrence of resistant strains in vitro is slower than in nevirapine, in which the locus of mutation is also different. Moreover, the above compound is very efficiently transferred to the lymph node and the concentration is maintained in the lymph node sufficiently higher than the in vitro 90% inhibitory concentration. In addition, the above compound is a highly safe drug with a very low toxicity. Thus, the compounds of the invention are of great use as anti-HIV drugs showing a synergism with AZT in the treatment of AIDS. All the above-described species of the compounds of the present invention can be chemically synthesized by the known processes starting with known compounds. A general technology for the production of the compounds of the invention is now described in detail. The basal compounds of the invention can be synthesized by condensing imidazoles 2 with a thiophenol 3 in accordance with the following reaction scheme. Furthermore, starting with the basal compounds (represented by general formula 5 or 6 ), a variety of the compounds of the invention having various 2-substituent groups can be synthesized by modifying the 2-side chain of the imidazole ring. In this route of synthesis, where any substituent is reactive, the reaction may be conducted with preliminary protection of the substituent with a suitable protective group. Basal route of synthesis (1) Where Z=S (In the above reac tion scheme, R 1 , R 3 , X, and Y are as defined hereinbefore. A represents halogen. R 2 ' represents a species of R 2 which can be used in this reaction or hydrogen. P represents hydrogen or a group of the following formula: (Step 1) In this step, halogen (e.g. chlorine, bromine, or iodine) is introduced into the imidazole derivative 1 in the presence of a base. As the halogen, iodine is particularly preferred. Thus, iodine can be permitted to react in the presence of a base (e.g. sodium hydroxide or potassium hydroxide) in a solvent such as methylene chloride or ethylene chloride. Compound 1 can be synthesized according to the process described in EP-585014. (Step 2) In this step, compound 2 is condensed with a thiophenol derivative of the compound 3 . The thiophenol derivative (a thiophenol or the corresponding disulfide) is dissolved in a suitable solvent (e.g. N,N-dimethylformamide, tetrahydrofuran, dimethyl sulfoxide), and the imidazole iodide 2 prepared in the preceding step is added thereto in the presence of a strong base such as lithium hydride, sodium hydride, or potassium hydride. In this step, a phenylthioimidazole of the formula 4 and its tautomer are obtained. (Step 3) In this step, R 1 is introduced into the N-position of the imidazole moiety. Thus, a desired substituent is introduced into the N-position. For example, a halide of the desired substituent (i.e. R 1 A) is reacted with the phenylthioimidazole 4 or its tautomer as obtained in the preceding step. This reaction is carried out in the presence of a strong base (e.g. lithium hydride or sodium hydride) in an aprotic solvent such as N,N-dimethylforamide or dimethyl sulfoxide. In this step, the compounds 5 and 6 which are position isomers with respect to R 1 are obtained. Starting with this compound 5 or 6 , other species of the compounds of the invention having various 2-substituents can be obtained by selecting desired substituents for the 2-position of the imidazole ring. The synthetic routes [A] to [D] are now described referring to the respective reaction schemes below. Synthetic route [A] Where R 2 = CHO, CH 2 OH or CH=NR a (In the above reaction scheme, R 1 , R 3 , X and Y are as defined hereinbefore. R a represents hydroxy or substituted or unsubstituted amino.) (Step 1) In this step, a formyl group is introduced into the 2-position of the imidazole moiety. This step is carried out by reacting compound 7 with N,N-dimethylformamide in the presence of a strong base, e.g. butyllithium, in a solvent such as tetrahydrofuran. (Step 2) In this step, the formyl group in the 2-position of the imidazole moiety is transformed into a hydroxymethyl group. This step is carried out by reducing the compound 8 with a reducing agent such as sodium borohydride in a solvent such as ethanol or methanol. (Step 3) In this step, the formyl group in the 2-position of the imidazole moiety is converted into an oxime or a hydrazono group. Thus, the compound 8 is reacted with hydroxylamine hydrochloride or hydrazine hydrate in a solvent such as methanol or ethanol. Synthetic route [B] Where R 2 =CH 2 OR 2a , CH 2 OCONH 2 , or CH 2 O(CH 2 ) 2 OR 2a (In the above reaction scheme, R 1 , R 3 , X, and Y are as defined hereinbefore. R 2a represents hydrogen, acyl, or substituted or unsubstituted carbamoyl or thiocarbamoyl. R 2b represents alkyl.) (Step 1) In this step, the 2-hydroxymethyl group of the imidazole moiety of the compounds 9 is acylated. This step can be carried out by reacting the compounds 9 with an acylating agent (e.g. an acid chloride such as acetyl chloride or propionyl chloride or an acid anhydride such as acetic anhydride) in the presence of a base (e.g. triethylamine) in a solvent such as methylene chloride or ethylene chloride. (Step 2) In this step, the 2-hydroxymethyl group of the imidazole moiety of the compounds 9 is carbamoylated. This step can be carried out by reacting the compounds 9 with a carbamoylating agent (e.g. trichloroacetyl isocyanate or chlorosulfonyl isocyanate) in a solvent such as tetrahydrofuran or glyme. (Step 3) In this step, the acyl moiety of the acylamino group of the compounds 12 is hydrolytically eliminated to give the free carbamoyl compounds 13 . This step can be carried out by heating the compounds 12 in the presence of an organic base (e.g. triethylamine or N,N-dimethylaniline) in a solvent such as methanol or ethanol. (Step 4) In this step through the next step, an acetaldehyde group is introduced into the 2-hydroxy group of the imidazole moiety of the compounds 9 . First, the compounds 9 are reacted with 2-bromo-1,3-dioxolane in the presence of a strong base such as sodium hydride or potassium hydride in a solvent such as N,N-dimethylformamide, tetrahydrofuran, or dimethyl sulfoxide. (Step 5) The aldehyde-protecting group in the 2-side chain of the imidazole ring in the compounds 14 obtained in the preceding step is eliminated by acidic hydrolysis. This step can be carried out by treating the compounds 14 with a mineral acid such as hydrochloric acid in methanol. (Step 6) In this step, the aldehyde group of the compounds 15 obtained in the preceding step is reduced to the corresponding alcohols 16 (R 2a =H) and, where desired, followed by introducing a substitute such as an acyl, carbamoyl, or thiocarbamoyl group. For example, the compounds 15 are reduced with a reducing agent such as sodium borohydride in a solvent such as ethanol or methanol to give the alcohols 16 (R 2a =H). When the alcohols 16 are acylated, carbamoylated, or thiocarbamoylated by the well-known technology in the art, the corresponding acyl derivatives (R 2a =acyl), carbamoyl derivatives (R 2a =carbamoyl), or thiocarbamoyl derivatives (R 2a =thiocarbamoyl) is obtained. Specific procedures are described in the examples. Synthetic Route [C] Where R 2 =substituted or unsubstituted aminomethyl (In the above reaction scheme, R 1 , R 3 , A, X, and Y are as defined hereinbefore. R 2c and R 2d independently represent hydrogen or alkyl) (Step 1) In this step, halogen is introduced into the hydroxymethyl group in 2-position of the imidazole moiety. This step is carried out by reacting the compounds 9 with a chlorinating agent such as thionyl chloride, phosphorus oxychloride, or phosphorus trichloride in a solvent such as N,N-dimethylformamide, tetrahydrofuran, or dimethyl sulfoxide. (Step 2) In this step, the halide obtained in the preceding step is converted into an azide. This step is carried out by reacting the compounds 17 with an azide such as sodium azide or potassium azide in a solvent such as N,N-dimethylformamide or dimethyl sulfoxide. (Step 3) In this step, the azide compounds obtained in the preceding step are reduced to amino compounds. Thus, the compounds 18 are reacted with triphenylphosphine in a solvent such as tetrahydrofuran, N,N-dimethylformamide, or dimethyl sulfoxide. Synthetic Route [D] Where R 2 =CH 2 COOR 2c (In the above reaction scheme, R 1 , R 2c , R 3a , X, and Y are as defined hereinbefore.) (Step 1) In this step, the halomethyl group in the 2-position of the imidazole moiety obtained by Synthetic route [C] is cyanated. This step is carried out by reacting the compounds 17 with a cyanating agent such as potassium cyanide or sodium cyanide in a solvent such as N,N-dimethylformamide, tetrahydrofuran, or dimethyl sulfoxide. (Step 2) In this step, the cyano compounds 19 obtained in the preceding step are carboxylated or esterified. Thus, the compounds 19 are treated with dry hydrogen chloride gas in a solvent such as methanol or ethanol and neutralized with, for example, sodium hydrogen carbonate or potassium hydrogen carbonate to give the methyl or ethyl esters 20 (R 2c =methyl or ethyl). Subjecting these esters to the routine alkaline hydrolysis gives the free carboxylic acids 20 (R 2c =H). Basal Route of Synthesis (2) Z=SO or SO 2 (In the above reaction scheme, R 1 , R 2' , R 3 , X, Y and Z are as defined hereinbefore.) The compounds in which Z is SO or SO 2 can be produced by reacting the sulfide compounds with one or more equimolar amount of an oxidizing agent such as sodium periodate, m-chloroperbenzoic acid, aqueous hydrogen peroxide, sodium dichromate, potassium permanganate, chromic acid, or selenium dioxide in a solvent such as methylene chloride or acetonitrile and, where necessary, followed by separating the reaction product by silica gel or alumina column chromatography. Moreover, by modifying the 2-side chain of the imidazole ring in the same manner as in the basal route of synthesis (1), species of the compounds of the invention having various substituents in the 2-position can be obtained. Basal Route of Synthesis (3) Where Z=CH 2 (In the above reaction scheme, R 1 , R 2 , R 3 , X, and Y are as defined hereinbefore.) (Step 1) In the basal route of synthesis (3), a suitable α-acylamino-α -substituted ketone compound 21 is used as the starting compound. Compound 21 is subjected to dehydrative cyclization by heating with ammonia or its salt of organic or inorganic acid in an organic solvent, e.g. acetic acid, at room temperature or under reflux, to form an imidazole ring. (Step 2) This step is carried out in the same manner as Step 3 in the basal route of synthesis (1). By modifying the 2-side chain of the imidazole ring in the same manner as in the basal route of synthesis (1), species of the compounds of the invention having various substituents in the 2-position can be obtained. The compounds of the present invention can be administered orally or parenterally. For oral administration, the compounds of the invention can be used in any of the conventional dosage forms, e.g. solid dosage forms such as tablets, powders, granules, capsules, etc.; solutions, oily suspensions; and liquid dosage forms such as syrups, elixirs. For parenteral administration, the compounds of the invention can be used in the form of an injectable aqueous or oily suspension. In the manufacture of such dosage forms, the conventional excipients, binders, lubricants, aqueous solvents, oily solvents, emulsifiers, suspending agents, etc. can be selectively employed. Moreover, other additives such as preservatives and stabilizers can also be incorporated. The dosage of the compound or salt thereof of the present invention depends on the route of administration, the patient's age and body weight and clinical condition, and type of disease. Usually, however, a daily oral dose of 0.05 to 3000 mg, preferably 0.1 to 1000 mg, or a daily parenteral dose of 0.01 to 1000 mg, preferably 0.05 to 500 mg, can be administered in 1 to 5 divided doses. BEST MODE OF CARRYING OUT THE INVENTION The following examples, formulation examples, and test examples are intended to describe the present invention in further detail and should by no means be construed as defining the scope of the invention.
