Mono- and di-quaternary salts of pyrimidylaminoquinolines having trypanocidal activity are made by reacting a quaternary salt of pyrimidine substituted in the 2-, 4- (or 6-) positions by amino or lower alkylamino-groups, in another of the 2-, 4- (or 6-) positions by a lower alkyl-, amino-, or lower alkylamino-group, and in one of the remaining 2-, 4- (or 6-) groups by a halogen atom or -SR group, R being hydrocarbon, with an amino-quinoline, substituted in the 4-position by amino-, or lower alkylamino, and which may be further substituted by lower alkyl groups, or with a quaternary salt thereof, in presence of an acid with or without a liquid medium. The amino-quinoline may be in the form of a salt thereof, or in the form of substances which will give rise to it under the reaction conditions. The products must contain at least an alkylamino-substituent in the pyrimidine nucleus or in 4-position of the quinoline nucleus. In examples, the quaternary salts of aminopyrimidines substituted by chlorine, bromine or iodine or thioalkyl in the 2- or 4-position, and with other groups as defined, are treated with 4- or 6-aminoquinolines having other substituents as defined above, or with their acetyl derivatives or quaternary salts, to give the mono- or di-salts of the corresponding pyrimidylaminoquinolines, in which the-NH-group is attached at the 2-, 4-, or 6-positions of the pyrimidine nucleus and the 6-positions of the quinoline nucleus, and the alkyl groups may be methyl, ethyl, isopropyl and butyl. The products include 4-alkylamino- or amino-6-(21-amino- or alkylamino-61-alkyl- or amino-pyrimidyl-41-amino)-methyl quinoline-dimethiodides, dimethochlorides, &c., and the corresponding quinolines. 4 - Alkylamino 6 - acetyl - aminoquinaldines are obtained by the action of alkylamines on the 4-chloro-compound and may be hydrolysed and quaternated; the corresponding methylaminequinoline derivative is obtained by hydrolysis of 4-hydroxy-6-acetylamino-quinoline with POCl3 to give the 2-chloro derivative, and condensation with methylamine, and may be quaternated. Specifications 658,202 and 658,204 are referred to.
制备具有抗锥虫活性的嘧啶基氨基喹啉的单和双季铵盐,通过将2-、4-(或6-)位置取代氨基或较低烷基氨基基团的嘧啶季铵盐与2-、4-(或6-)位置中的较低烷基、氨基或较低烷基氨基基团以及剩余的2-、4-(或6-)位置中的卤素原子或-SR基(R为碳氢)取代的氨基喹啉或其季铵盐在酸性介质中或无液体介质的情况下反应制得。氨基喹啉可以是其盐的形式,或者是在反应条件下会产生其形式的物质。产品必须至少含有嘧啶核或喹啉核4-位置的烷基氨基取代基。例如,用氯、溴或碘或硫代烷基在2-或4-位置取代的氨基嘧啶季铵盐,以及具有上述其他取代基的4-或6-氨基喹啉或其乙酰衍生物或季铵盐进行反应,制备相应的嘧啶基氨基喹啉的单或双季铵盐,其中-NH基团附在嘧啶核的2-、4-或6-位置和喹啉核的6-位置,烷基可以是甲基、乙基、异丙基和丁基。产品包括4-烷基氨基或氨基-6-(2-氨基或烷基氨基-6-烷基或氨基-嘧啶基-4-氨基)-甲基喹啉二甲硫醇盐、二甲氯化物等,以及相应的喹啉。通过在4-氯化合物上作用烷基胺得到4-烷基氨基-6-乙酰氨基喹啉,可以水解和季铵化;通过将4-羟基-6-乙酰氨基喹啉与POCl3水解以得到2-氯衍生物,再与甲基胺缩合,可以得到相应的甲胺喹啉衍生物,并可以季铵化。参考规范658,202和658,204。
