Novel orally active inhibitors of passive cutaneous anaphylaxis in rats: N-[2-(4-Pyridinyl)-4-pyrimidinyl] ureas and dialkyl [[[2-(4-pyridinyl)-4-pyrimidinyl]amino]methylene]malonates
摘要:
4-Chloro-2-(4-pyridinyl)pyrimidines were treated with alkylamines to afford the corresponding N-substituted amino derivatives. 4-Amino-2-(4-pyridinyl)pyrimidines and their N-substituted analogues were converted to amides, carbamates, aminomethylenemalonates, and ureas. Many of these compounds were found to have potential antiallergic activity as indicated by the rat passive cutaneous anaphylaxis screen. The most compounds were found in the last two series.
Compounds useful as anti-allergic agents are N-R.sub.3 -N-R.sub.4 -N'-R-N'-(2-Q-5-R.sub.1 -6-R.sub.2 -4-pyrimidinyl)ureas (I), where Q is 4- or 3- or 2-pyridinyl or 4- or 3- or 2-pyridinyl having one or two lower-alkyl substituents or N-oxide thereof, R is hydrogen or lower-alkyl, R.sub.1 is hydrogen, lower-alkyl or cyano, R.sub.2 is hydrogen or lower-alkyl, R.sub.3 is hydrogen, lower-alkyl or lower-hydroxyalkyl, R.sub.4 is hydrogen, lower-alkyl, lower-hydroxyalkyl, lower-alkenyl or lower-cycloalkyl. Said ureas are prepared by reacting 2-Q-4-RNH-5-R.sub.1 -6-R.sub.2 -pyrimidine (II) with a carbamylating agent selected from an R.sub.4 '-isocyanate of the formula R.sub.4 'N=C=O to produce N-R.sub.4 '-N'-R-N'-(2-Q-5-R.sub.1 -6-R.sub.2 -4-pyrimidinyl)urea (IA), an N-R.sub.3 '-N-R.sub.4 '-carbamyl halide of the formula R.sub.3 'R.sub.4 'NC(=O)-halide to produce N-R.sub.3 '-N-R.sub.4 'N'-R-N'-(2-Q-5-R.sub.1 -6-R.sub.2 -4-pyrimidinyl)urea (IB) or 1,1'-carbonyldiimidazole to produce N-(2-Q-5-R.sub.1 -6-R.sub.2 -4-pyrimidinyl)-N-R-imidazole-1-carboxamide and then reacting said 1-carboxamide with R.sub.3 R.sub.4 NH to produce I.
