It is known that there are a large number of patients who suffer from liver damages caused by various factors such as alcohol, malnutrition, viruses, chemicals, toxicants, etc. The liver diseases may generally be classified by their types into acute hepatitis, chronic hepatitis, liver cirrhosis, and fulminant hepatitis. It is said to be very difficult to treat these liver diseases. Namely, currently available methods for the treatment such as treatments with pharmaceuticals e.g. liver protective agents such as various vitamins, saccharides, amino acids, glutathione, glycyrrhizin, liver hydrolyzates or adrenocortical hormones; cholagogues; immunomodulaters; or antiviral substances against viral hepatitis, are all nothing more than symptomatic treatments, and they are not adequately effective for the treatment of the existing liver damages.
-
It has recently been reported that 1,3-dithiol derivatives represented by Malotilate as identified below, are effective for the treatment of liver damages (see Japanese Examined Patent Publications No. 18,576/1981, No. 18,577/1981 and No. 18,578/1981).
-
Other 1,3-dithiol derivatives similar to Malotilate with respect to structure and pharmaceutical properties are described in US-A-4,118,506, EP-A-99 329 and US-A-4,022,907.
-
As a result of extensive researches, the present inventors have found that certain novel 1,3-dithiol derivatives represented by the after-mentioned formula I, exhibit excellent activities for the treatment of a wide spectrum of liver damages, which are comparable or superior to the above-mentioned conventional 1,3-dithiol derivatives. The present invention has been accomplished on the basis of this discovery.
-
Namely, the present invention provides a 1,3-dithiol-2-ylidene derivative of the formula:

EXAMPLE 1
Diisopropoxycarbonylketene disodium mercaptide crystals (8 g, 0.02 mol) was dissolved in 50 ml of dimethylsulfoxide, and 1,1,1-trichloroethane (2.7 g, 0.02 mol) and subsequently a 30% sodium hydroxide aqueous solution (2.7 g, 0.02 mol NaOH) were added thereto. Thus, reaction was carried out at 60° C. for 1 hour. The resulting mixture was poured into ice-water, and then extracted with benzene. Drying of the extract over anhydrous magnesium sulfate, distillation to remove benzene, and recrystallization from n-hexane gave 2.6 g of the object matter diisopropyl 1,3-dithiol-2-ylidene malonate; m.p. 60.5° C., yield 45%.
EXAMPLE 2
Diisopropyl malonate (18.8 g, 0.1 mol) and carbon disulfide (7.6 g, 0.1 mol) were dissolved in 200 ml of dimethylsulfoxide. Dropping thereto a 45% potassium hydroxide aqueous solution (31 g, 0.25 mol KOH) at 13°-17° C., gave a yellowish red solution containing diisopropoxycarbonylketene dipotassium mercaptide. At 20° C., 1,1,1-trichloroethane (26.6 g, 0.2 mol) was added, and 5 minutes after a 45% potassium hydroxide aqueous solution (18.6 g, 0.15 mol KOH) was dropped thereinto. The temperature was raised to 70° C. to carry out reaction for 30 minutes. The resulting mixture was poured into ice-water and then extracted with benzene. Drying of the extract over anhydrous magnesium sulfate, distillation to remove benzene, and recrystallization from n-hexane gave 23.6 g of the object matter diisopropyl 1,3-dithiol-2-ylidene malonate; m.p. 60.5° C., yield 82.1%.
EXAMPLE 3
Diisopropyl malonate (18.8 g, 0.1 mol) and carbon disulfide (7.6 g, 0.1 mol) were dissolved in 200 ml of dimethylsulfoxide. A 45% potassium hydroxide aqueous solution (49.6 g, 0.4 mol KOH) was dropped thereto at 15° C., then 1,1,1-trichloroethane (13.3 g, 0.1 mol) was added at 20° C., and reaction was carried out at 70° C. for 30 minutes. The resulting mixture was poured into ice-water and then extracted with benzene. Drying of the extract over anhydrous magnesium sulfate, distillation to remove benzene, and recrystallization from n-hexane gave 18.1 g of the object matter diisopropyl 1,3-diethiol-2-ylidene malonate; m.p. 60.5° C., yield 62.8%.

Example 1Synthesis of diisopropyl 1,3-dithiol-2-ylidene malonate (the compound 3)
1.1 Grams (0.03 mole) of 69% purity sodium hydride was suspended in 30 ml. of dry tetrahydrofuran. Into the resulting suspension, 5.6g (0.03 mole) of diisopropyl malonate was gradually dropped with ice-cooling. After completion of the generation of hydrogen gas, 8.2g (0.03 mole) of 2-methylthio-1,3-dithiolium iodide was added. The resulting mixture was heated under reflux for 1 hour, and then the reaction product was poured into a large amount of ice water to deposit crystals. The crystals were recovered by filtration, dried and then recrystallized from n-hexane to obtain 6.7g of white crystals, m.p. 59°-60° C., yield 77.5% .
The 2-methylthio-1,3-dithiolium iodide used as starting material was synthesized in the following manner;
44.4 Grams (0.2 mole) of 1,3-dithiol-2-thion-4,5-dicarboxylic acid was dissolved in 240 ml of nitromethane, and the resulting solution was heated to 80° C. Into this solution, 100 ml of iodomethyl was gradually dropped, and the resulting mixture was refluxed for 6 hours. After completion of the reaction, the formed crystals were recovered by filtration, washed with 100 ml of ether and then air-dried to obtain 48.4g of the desired compound, m.p. 114°-116° C. (decomp.), yield 87.0%.

Biological Activity of Malotilate
Malotilate is a Liver Protein Metabolism Improved Compound, Which Selectively INHIBIT the 5-lipoxygenase. IC50 Value : Target : 5-lipoxygenase in vitro : In an in vitro assay using RAT Invasion lung endothelial (RLE) cells, Invasion of tumor cells Which HAD BEEN treated with MT (10 ng / ml, 24 h) was not affected; however, when RLE cells had been treated with MT, invasion was significantly inhibited in three cell lines (SAS, Ca9-22 and HSC-4) and a tendency to inhibition WAS Also Observed in other Cell lines [1]. in Vivo : The Improvement Rates for choline esterase Were Significantly Greater Activity in the malotilate group than in the Control group Levels Significantly Increased Serum albumin in the malotilate group BUT not in the Control group. [2]. In the rats treated with MT for 19 days after iv inoculation of c-SST-2 cells, lung metastasis was also significantly suppressed [3]. Malotilate prevented increases in serum markers of type III and IV collagen synthesis as well as accumulation of the collagens, laminin and fibronectin in the Liver [4]. Toxicity : Malotilate cytotoxicity to PBMCs, Assessed by trypan blue dye Exclusion and lactate dehydrogenase (LDH) Release into the Culture Media, WAS found to be markedly Increased by the Addition of the NADPH generating system, indicating that metabolites play a significant role in toxicity [5].
