Description

~AN 4044/55 The present invention is concerned with novel imida201e derivatives of the formula ~ N\

~ / ~ Y
~ N

wherein X is hydrogen or Cl_4-n-alkyl and Y i5 thienyl, optionally substituted by methyl or fluorine, or a group oi the formula yl ~RR3 yl wherein Rl, R2 and R3 are hydrogen, methyl, fluorine, hydroxy, methoxy or two of Rl, R2 and R3 on adjacent carbon atoms are together methylenedioxy Mé/3.4.1981 or ethylenedioxy or one of R , R2 and R is mono- or di-(Cl_4-n-alkyl)--amino and the other two are hydrogen, and physiologically compatible acid addition salts thereof.

The expression Cl 4-n-alkyl used herein relates to the straight-chain alkyl groups methyl, ethyl~propyl and butyl.

Among the compounds of formula I there are preferred those in which X is hydrogen and those in which Y is a 10 group of ~ormula yl~ especially p-fluorophenyl.

4,5-Di-t-butyl-2-(4-fluorophenyl)-imida~ole is especially pxeferred.

The inv~ntion is also concerned with a process for the manufacture of the aforementioned compounds as well as pharma-ceutical preparations based on the aforementioned compounds.

Examples o~ physiologically compatible acid addition sal~s are mineral acid salts such as hydrochlorides, hyc'ro-bromides, sulphates and phosphates~ salts of organic sulphonic acids such as alkylsulphona~es or arylsulphonates and carboxylic acid salts such as succinates or citrates.

The aforementioned compounds and sal~s can be manufactured in accordanca with ~he invention by treating a thiepinoimidazole of the formula ~ N ~ II

wherein X and Y have the above significance, or an acid addition salt thereof with a desulphurising catalyst and, if desired, converting a compound of formula I
into an acid addition salt.

Examples of desulphurising catalysts are metal catalysts such as nickel catalysts or palladium catalysts, preferably nickel catalysts, especially Raney-nic~el. ~he desulphurisation is conveniently carried out in a solvent, preferably a polar solvent such as dioxan or tetrahydro~
: 15 uran at a temperature up to the reflux temperature.

The compounds of formula II in which X is hydrogen can be prepared by reacting 3,3,6,6-tetramethyl-4,5--thiepanedione with an aldehyde Y-CH=O in the presence o~

ammonium ions, preferably in the presence of an ammonium salt such as ammonium acetate in a polar solvent such as dimethyl sulphoxide or dimethylformamide at a temperature up to the reflux temperature. The compounds of formula II
S obtained can be N-alkylated by reaction with an alkali metal hydride such as sodium hydride in a solvent such as dimethyl-formamide and reaction of the resulting compound with an alkyl halide such as methyl iodide.

The compounds of formula I and the physiologically compatible salts thereof can be used as medicaments. They inhibit the aggregation of the blood platelets and can therefore be used for the prevention of thromboses.

The compounds of formula I can be used as medicaments;
for example in the form of pharmaceutical preparations which contain them or their salts in admixture with an organic or inorganic inert carrier material which is suitable for enteral or parenteraL administration such as, for example, water, gelatin, gum arabic, lactose, starch, magnesium stearate, talc, vegetable oils, polyalkyleneglycols or Vaseline. The pharmaceutical preparations can be made up in solid form (e.g. as tablets, drayees, suppositories or capsules) or in liquid form (e.g. as solutions, suspensions or emulsions). The pharmaceutical preparations may be sterilised and/or may contain adjuvants such as preserving, IL8 ~7 stabilising, wetting or emulsifying agents, salts for varying the osmotic pressure or buffers. They can also contain still other therepeutically valuable substances. The oral administration of the compounds in accordance with the invention is preferred. For adults there come into consideration an oral daily dosage of 0.5 to 30 mg/kg and a parenteral daily dosage of 0~05 to 10 mg/kg.

The aggregation-inhibiting activity was demonstrated according to the aggregometer method of BORN [Nature 194, 927 (1962)] and MICHAL and BORN [Nature 231, 220 (1971)].
The maximum aggregation velocity was taken as the test parameter and the effective concentration (EC50) was ascertained from dosage-activity curves.

Human platelet-rich plasma was obtained by centri~ugation from citrated venous blood. The experiments were carried out with suspensions of the test substances in 0.9% sodium chloride. 0.~8 ml of citrate plasma was treated with a 10 ~1 suspension of the test compound and incubated at 37C for 10 minutes, whereupon the aggregation was initiated by adlding 10 ~1 of a suspension of collagen fibrils.
