Description:
BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 
     1. Field of the Invention 
     The present invention relates to novel 2-ureido-benzamide derivatives having potent acyl coenzyme A:cholesterol acyltransferase (ACAT: EC2.3.1.26) inhibiting activity, to pharmaceutical composition containing these compounds and to use thereof for the treatment and prevention of atherosclerosis. 
     Ischemic circulatory diseases such as myocardial infarction and cerebral infarction resulting from atherosclerosis have been a major cause of human death. The studies on atherosclerosis have been carried out in the various fields for long years. 
     Recently, it has been found that esterification of intracellular cholesterol is effectively catalyzed by the enzyme: ACAT which is found later in various tissues such as liver, intestine, adrenal and macrophages. It is said that ACAT may be present in all tissues  The Enzymes, 16, 523-539 (1983)!. 
     In intestine, ACAT plays a key role in the gastrointestinal absorption of cholesterol. In intestinal mucosal cells, dietary and biliary cholesterol derived from the diet and biosynthesis must be esterified by the action of ACAT before it can be incorporated into the chyromicron particles which are then released into the blood stream  Eur. J. Clin. Invest., 9, 55 (1971)!. Thus inhibition of ACAT in intestinal mucosa appears to block intestinal absorption of cholesterol, resulting in the decrease of blood cholesterol level. However, such an intestinal ACAT inhibitor may involve unfavorable increase of the endogenous cholesterol synthesis and possible ineffectiveness of such inhibitor on patients having no hyper-function in cholesterol absorption. 
     Although the role of ACAT in liver, especially in human, is less clearly known, the ACAT may participate in the synthesis and secretion of VLDL and the control of biliary excretion of cholesterol  J. Lipid Res., 26, 647 (1985)! and inhibition of the liver ACAT may result in lowering of the blood lipid level. 
     Cholesterol esters are a major component of atherosclerotic lesions and also a major storage form of cholesterol in arterial wall cells. Accumulation of cholesterol esters is linked to the form cell formation which is catalyzed by ACAT in macrophages. Thus, inhibition of the macrophage ACAT may prevent directly the progression of atherosclerotic lesion formation by decreasing the form cell formation without unfavorable effects as in the case of ACAT inhibition in intestine. 
     2. Description of the Prior Art 
     Certain phenylurea derivatives having ACAT inhibiting activity are disclosed as shown below.

     However, there are no known literature references disclosing such 2-ureido-benzamide derivatives as those in this invention and their use as ACAT inhibitors for the treatment of atherosclerosis. 
     The present inventors synthesized various novel 2-ureido-benzamide compounds having substituents on both of amide and urea(ureido) nitrogen atoms and intensively investigated their activities, and, as the result, found that the useful as a drug for atherosclerosis and related diseases.

Preparation of the salts can be carried out in accordance with well known techniques for forming salts. 
     This invention also relates to a method of or use for reducing the cholesterol content of the arterial walls and treating atherosclerosis and related diseases of mammals which comprises administrating to said mammals an effective amount of a compound as recited above. The compounds (1) have potent ACAT inhibiting activity with weak toxicity as shown in the following test example. ACAT catalyzes the esterification of cholesterol with higher fatty acids and it plays an important role in the absorption of cholesterol and in the intracellular accumulation of cholesterol esters. ACAT inhibitor can reduce absorption of dietary cholesterol and intracellular cholesterol ester accumulation in the arterial wall, thereby, lowering the blood cholesterol level with retarding the build-up of atherosclerotic lesions. Accordingly, the compounds (1) of this invention are useful as safe prophylactic and therapeutic agents for hypercholesterolemia, atherosclerosis and diseases resulting from these (e.g. ischemic heart diseases such as myocardial infarction, cerebrovascular diseases such as cerebral infarction and cerebral apoplexy) in mammals (e.g. mouse, rat, rabbit, dog, monkey, human). 
     This invention further relates to pharmaceutical compositions which comprise an effective anti-atherosclerotic amount of a compound as recited above. For prophylactic or therapeutic use vis-a-vis the above diseases, the compounds of formula (1) are preferably presented with pharmaceutically acceptable appropriate carriers, excipients or diluents as pharmaceutical formulations such as powders, granules, tablets, capsules or injectable solutions, which can be prepared by any of the well known techniques of pharmacy and administered either orally or non-orally. 
     For the purpose of inhibiting cholesterol absorption or accumulation, the oral route of administration may be preferred. The amount of a compound of formula (1) which is required to achieve the desired biological effect will, of course, depend on the kind of compound (1), the mode of administration, the clinical condition and age of the recipient and the other factors. In general, a daily dose per kilogram of body weight is expected to lie in the range of from 10 μg to 100 mg, typically from 50 μg to 50 mg, and such daily dose is preferably administrated as a single dose or in two or three divided doses. 
     This invention still further relates to process for preparing compounds as recited above. 
     Preparation Process for the Compound (1) 
     There are several alternate approaches to the preparation of the compounds in this invention. 
     A. Synthesis of the 2-ureido-benzamides. 2-Ureido-benzamide derivatives of the formula (1) can be prepared by, for instance, the following processes which are outlined in Reaction Scheme I. ##STR15## 
     (The Symbols in the above formula are as defined hereinabove and phenyl and pyridyl ring may be optionally substituted as defined hereinabove). 
     A1) The reaction of the 2-amino-benzamide (2) with formic acid ester halide such as phenylchloroformate (3) is generally carried out in a solvent in the presence of a base. A suitable base, may be for instance an organic base such as pyridine, triethylamine, picoline, 4-dimethylaminopyridine and N,N-diethylaniline and an inorganic base such as potassium carbonate. Among the suitable solvent are used any inert solvent to the reaction, for instance, benzene, toluene, chloroform and dichloromethane. The reaction is generally conducted at an appropriate temperature of -20° C. to the boiling point of the solvent which is used. The 2-phenoxycarbonylamino-benzamide (4) thus obtained is reacted with the amine (5) to give 2-ureido-benzamide (1). The reaction is generally carried out in an appropriate solvent such as benzene, toluene, chloroform and dichloromethane. The amine (5) may be prepared by a known method, for example, by the processes described by C. A. Buecheler et. al. in Survey of Organic Synthesis, 394-459 (1977) or modifications thereof. 
     A2) Alternatively, the 2-ureido-benzamide (1) can be prepared by reacting 2-amino-benzamide (2) with the isocyanate (6). This reaction is conducted in the absence of a solvent or in an inert solvent such as ethyl acetate, dichloromethane, chloroform, tetrahydrofuran, acetonitrile, benzene, toluene and N,N-dimethylformamide. The reaction temperature is generally comprised between room temperature and the refluxing temperature of the solvent which is used. In the absence of a solvent, this reaction can be carried out by heating the 2-amino-benzamide (2) with the isocyanate (6) directly at 90°-250° C. The isocyanate (6) is obtained by reacting the corresponding carboxylic acid with an azide compound such as diphenylphosphoryl azide in the presence of a tertiary amine such as triethylamine, pyridine and picoline in an appropriate solvent such as acetonitrile and chloroform. 
     A3) Further, the compound (1) can be prepared by reacting the benzoxazin (7) with the amine (8) in an appropriate solvent such as benzene, toluene, N,N-dimethylformamide, acetonitrile and chloroform. The temperature is generally comprised between room temperature and the boiling point of the solvent which is used. The benzoxazin (7) may be obtained by a known method  e.g. J. Heterocyclic Chemistry, 19, 267 (1982) and EP Patent No. 147,211 (1985)! or its modified method. The amine (8) is commercially available or readily prepared by a known method described for instance in U.S. Pat. No. 4,267,318 or a modification thereof. 
     B. Conversion of the 2-ureido-benzamides. Certain compounds of 2-ureido-benzamide derivatives of the formula (1) prepared by the above mentioned processes A1), 2) and 3) are then further converted to the another 2-ureido-benzamide derivatives. For example, the compounds described as structures (1 a ), (1 b ), (1 c ) and (1 d ) are successfully converted to the objective 2-ureido-benzamide derivatives of the formulae (1 e ), (1 f ), (1 g ), (1 h ) and (1 i ) by the following processes which are also outlined in Reaction Scheme I. 
     B1) The N-pyridyl-2-ureido-benzamide (1 a ) can be reduced to the corresponding N-piperidyl compound and then reacted with diphenylmethyl halide such as bromodiphenylmethane in the presence of a base such as potassium carbonate in a solvent such as dimethyl sulfoxide to give the N-(N-diphenylmethyl)piperidyl-2-ureido-benzamide (1 e ). The reduction can be effectively performed by catalytic reduction using an appropriate catalyst such as platinum and platinum oxide under hydrogen atmosphere at an appropriate pressure of 20-100 psi in a solvent such as acetic acid. 
     B2) The 5-amino-2-ureido-benzamide (1 f ) may be prepared by reducing 5-nitro-2-ureido-benzamide (1 b ). This reaction can be conducted in the manner of catalytic reduction using appropriate catalyst or can be conducted in the presence of a reducing agent. As such catalyst, there may be mentioned, for example, palladium on charcoal, platinum on charcoal and Raney nickel. As examples of said reducing agent is metal (e.g. zinc, iron and tin) in an acid such as hydrochloric acid, acetic acid and aqueous sulfuric acid. The reduction is generally carried out under hydrogen atmosphere at an appropriate pressure of ambient to 5 kg/cm 2  in a solvent such as methanol, ethanol, acetic acid and ethyl acetate at an appropriate temperature of room temperature to 100° C. The reaction using the reducing agent is generally carried out in the similar manner to a known method described for instance in J. Org. Chem., 31, 684(1966). 
     B3) Alternatively, 5-amino-2-ureido-benzamide (1 f ) thus obtained may be converted to the formula (1 g ). The compound (1 f ) can be acylated with an acid anhydride such as acetic anhydride or an acid chloride such as acetyl chloride in the presence of an appropriate base in a solvent such as dichloromethane and chloroform. Useful as said base are cited organic bases, for instance, triethylamine, pyridine and N,N-diethylaniline. The reaction temperature is generally comprised between 0° C. and the boiling point of the solvent which is used. 
     Sulfonylating the compound (1 f ) can be performed in the similar manner as the above mentioned acylating, but replacing acid anhydride or acid chloride with alkylsulfonyl chloride such as methanesulfonyl chloride. 
     The compound (1 f ) can be converted to the 2,5-diureido-benzamide according to the similar manner as for the preparation process A2) by reacting with the corresponding isocyanate. 
     B4) 2-(N&#39;-Alkylaminoalkylureido)-benzamide (1 h ) may be prepared by reductive alkylation of the 2-(N&#39;-aminoalkylureido)benzamide (1 c ) with the corresponding carbonyl compound. The reaction can be carried out by the use of a reducing agent such as sodium cyanoborohydride, sodium borohydride or lithium cyanoborohydride in an appropriate solvent such as methanol, ethanol and ethyl ether at an appropriate temperature of from -20° C. to the boiling point of the solvent which is used. 
     B5) The benzyl group of the N-benzylpiperidyl-2-ureido-benzamide (1 d ) is removed by reduction and the resulting N-piperidyl-2-ureido-benzamide may be reacted with the corresponding formyl pyridine in the presence of a reducing agent such as sodium cyanoborohydride to give the N-pyridylmethylpiperidyl-2-ureido-benzamide (1 i ). The reduction of the compound (1 d ) is generally performed by hydrogen over an appropriate catalyst such as palladium on charcoal. 
     C. Preparation of the intermediates: The 2-amino-benzamide (2) which is important as a starting compound for the preparation of the 2-ureido-benzamide (1) can be synthesized, for example, by the following processes outlined in Reaction Scheme II. ##STR16## 
     C1) 2-Amino-benzamide (2) can be prepared by reacting the isatoic anhydride (9) with the amine (8) in a solvent such as dichloromethane and chloroform at an appropriate temperature of from room temperature to the boiling point of the solvent which is used. 
     C2) The condensation reaction of the 2-nitrobenzoic acid (10) with the amine (8) can be carried out in the presence of a condensing agent in an inert solvent such as dichloromethane, chloroform and tetrahydrofurane at an appropriate temperature of from 0° C. to room temperature. The useful condensing agents are 1,3-dicyclohexyl-carbodiimide, N-ethyl-N&#39;-(3-dimethylaminopropyl) carbodiimide and 1,1-carbonyl-diimidazole. The 2-nitrobenzamide (11) thus obtained is reacted with a reducing agent to give the 2-amino-benzamide (2). This reductive reaction can be conducted essentially in the same manner as the preparation process B2) mentioned above. 
     C3) The condensation of the 2-nitrobenzoic acid (12) with the amine (8) can be carried out in the presence of a condensing agent in the same manner as the preparation process C2) or by using thionyl chloride, compound (12) to convert into the acid chloride, followed by reacting with the amine (8). The fluorine substituent on 5-position of the 2-nitrobenzamide (13) thus obtained is substituted for other substituents by reacting with R 2  H (e.g. monomethylamine, dimethylamine, diethylamine, di-n-propylamine, di-n-butylamine, pyrrolidine, piperidine, morpholine, pyrazole, imidazole) or R 2  metal salt (e.g. sodium methoxide, sodium ethoxide, sodium thiomethoxide, sodium thioethoxide) in an inert solvent such as tetrahydrofuran, dioxane and N,N-dimethylformamide with or without a sealed tube at an appropriate temperature (from ambient to refluxed temperature). The 2-nitrobenzamide (11) thus obtained is reacted with reducing agents in the same manner as the preparation process B2) to give the aminobenzamide (2). 
     The desired compounds (1) thus obtained can be purified and recovered by using per se known separation or purification procedures (e.g. concentration, solvent extraction, column chromatography, recrystallization).
