Isocarbocyclins for the treatment of liver and kidney diseases

.gamma.-L-glutamyl-L-cysteine ethyl ester and pharmaceutical

Novel 5- or 7-monohalogenated or 5,7-dihalogenated .sup.6 -PGI.sub.1 and 5- or 7-monohalogenated or dihalogenated PGI.sub.2 (except 5-monofluorinated PGI.sub.2). The novel halogenated prostacyclins are useful for controlling vascular actions and also in organ transplantation, extra-corporeal circulation and the like. The present invention also provides processes for preparing the novel halogenated prostacyclins.

A novel compound selected from the group consisting of 7-(or 6- or 4-)thiaprostaglandin E.sub.1 derivatives of the formula (I). ##STR1## wherein A represents --CH.sub.2 -- or ##STR2## in which n is 0, 1 or 2, provided that only one A cut of three is ##STR3## R.sup.1 -R.sup.7 and G are as defined in the specification, the 15-epimers of said thiaprostaglandin E.sub.1 derivatives, the enatiomers of said thiaprostaglandin E.sub.1 derivatives or their 15-epimers, and mixtures of these compounds. A 7-thiaprostaglandin E.sub.1 derivative and/or its optical isomer may be prepared by reacting a 2-organo-2-cyclopentenone (II) with an organic copper-lithium compound (III) to effect conjugation reaction. A 6-thiaprostaglandin E.sub.1 derivative and/or its optical isomer may be prepared by subjecting an .alpha.,.beta.-unsaturated ketone (IV) and a thiol (V) to the Michael addition reaction. And, 4-thiaprostaglandin derivative and/or its optical isomer may also be prepared by the Michael addition reaction from a 2-allyl substituted cyclopentanone (VI) and a thiol (VIII). Some compounds ((I)-1) amongst the compounds of the formula (I) and/or their optical isomer are useful for controlling vascular actions such as angina pectoris, vasodilation etc.

Thiaprostaglandin E.sub.1 derivatives, process for production thereof,

A compound represented by the following formula ##STR1## wherein R.sup.1 represents a hydrogen atom, an acyl group or an alkoxycarbonyl group; X.sup.1 represents an alkylene group having 3 to 6 carbon atoms, a 1,4-cyclohexylene group, or a 1,4-phenylene group, the alkylene group may be substituted by an alkyl group having 1 to 6 carbon atoms, and the 1,4-phenylene group may be substituted by 1 or 2 substituents selected from halogen atoms and alkoxy groups having 1 to 6 carbon atoms; R.sup.2 represents a hydrogen atom or a hydroxyl group and R.sup.3 represents hydrogen atom, or R.sup.2 and R.sup.3 together may form an oxo group (.dbd.O), and when X.sup.1 is other than the 1,4-phenylene group, R.sup.2 represents a hydrogen atom and R.sup.3 represents a bond between the carbon atoms to which R.sup.3 is bonded and that carbon atom of X.sup.1 which is adjacent to said carbon atom; X.sup.2 represents an alkylene group having 1 to 5 carbon atoms which may be substituted by an alkyl group having 1 to 6 carbon atoms or an amino group; and R.sup.4 represents the group --COOR.sup.5, --CH.sub.2 OR.sup.6 or --CONR.sup.7 R.sup.8 in which R.sup.5 represents a hydrogen atom or an alkyl group having 1 to 6 carbon atoms, R.sup.6 represents a hydrogen atom or an acyl group having 1 to 6 carbon atoms, and R.sup.7 and R are identical or different and represent a hydrogen atom or an alkyl group having 1 to 6 carbon atoms or taken together may form a 5- or 6-membered ring; or an acid addition salts of said compound wherein R.sup.1 represents a hydrogen atom or X.sup.2 represents an alkylene group having an amino group, or salts of said compound wherein R.sup.5 represents a hydrogen atom. The compounds represented by the above formula or their pharmaceutically acceptable salts are useful as anti-ulcer agents. The present invention also provides a process for producing the compounds or their pharmaceutically acceptable salts, which comprises acylating a protected derivative at the amino group of a corresponding acid halide with a corresponding substituted benzene in the presence of a Lewis acid; or reducing a corresponding compound in the presence of an inert solvent under conditions which induce reduction of the carbonyl group of said corresponding compound without substantially reducing the phenylene group of said corresponding compound; or dehydrating a corresponding compound.
