New derivatives of 2-(iminomethvl)amino-phenvl. their preparation, their use as medicaments and the pharmaceutical compositions containing them A subject of the present invention is new derivatives of 2-(iminomethyl)amino-phenyl which have an inhibitory activity on NO-synthase enzymes producing nitrogen monoxide NO and/or an activity which traps the reactive oxygen species (ROS). The invention relates to the derivatives corresponding to general formula (I) defined below, their preparation methods, the pharmaceutical preparations containing them and their use for therapeutic purposes, in particular their use as NO-synthase inhibitors and selective or non selective traps for reactive oxygen species. Given the potential role of NO and the ROS's in physiopathology, the new derivatives described corresponding to general formula (I) may produce beneficial or favourable effects in the treatment of pathologies where these chemical species are involved. In particular: • cardio-vascular and cerebro-vascular disorders including for example artherosclerosis, migraine, arterial hypertension, septic shock, ischemic or hemorragic cardiac or cerebral infarctions., ischemias and thromboses. • disorders of the central or peripheral nervous system such as for example neurodegenerative diseases where there can in particular be mentioned cerebral infarctions, sub-arachnoid haemorrhaging, ageing, senile dementias including Alzheimer's disease, Huntington's chorea, Parkinson's disease, Creutzfeld Jacob disease and prion diseases, amyotrophic lateral sclerosis but also pain, cerebral and bone marrow traumas, addiction to opiates, alcohol and addictive substances, erective and reproductive disorders, cognitive disorders, encephalopathies, encephalopathies of viral or toxic origin. • disorders of the skeletal muscle and neuromuscular joints (myopathy, myosis) as well as cutaneous diseases. • proliferative and inflammatory diseases such as for example artherosclerosis, pulmonary hypertension, respiratory distress, glomerulonephritis, portal hypertension, psoriasis, arthrosis and rheumatoid arthritis, fibroses, amyloidoses, inflammations of the gastrointestinal system (colitis, Crohn's disease) or of the pulmonary system and airways (asthma, sinusitis, rhinitis). • organ transplants. • auto-immune and viral diseases such as for example lupus, AIDS, parasitic and viral infections, diabetes, multiple sclerosis. • cancer. • neurological diseases associated with intoxications (Cadmium poisoning, inhalation of n- hexane, pesticides, herbicides), associated with treatments (radiotherapy) or disorders of genetic origin (Wilson's disease). • all the pathologies characterized by an excessive production or dysfunction of NO and/or ROS's. In all these pathologies, there is experimental evidence demonstrating the involvement of NO or ROS's (7. Med. Chem. (1995) 38, 4343-4362; Free Radic. Biol. Med.

In accordance with the invention, the compounds of general formula (I) can be prepared by the process below. Preparation of the compounds of general formula (I); The compounds of general formula (I) can be prepared starting from intermediates of general formula (II), (III) or (V) according to diagram 1. (Figure Removed) The reduction of the nitro function of the intermediates of general formula (II) is generally carried out by catalytic hydrogenation in ethanol, in the presence of Pd/C, except when the molecules contain an unsaturation or a sulphur atom, this being a poison to the Pd/C. In this case, the nitro group is selectively reduced, for example, by heating the product in solution in ethyl acetate with a little ethanol in the presence of SnCl2 (J. Heterocyclic Chem. (1987), 24, 927-930; Tetrahedron Letters (1984), 25, (8), 839-842) or by using Raney Ni with hydrazine hydrate added to it (Monatshefte fur Chemie, (1995), 126, 725-732). The aniline derivatives of general formula (III) thus obtained can be condensed on derivatives of general formula (IV), for example derivatives of O-alkyl thioimidate or S-alkyl thioimidate type, in order to produce final compounds of general formula (I) (cf. diagram 1). For example, for B = thiophene, the derivatives of general formula (III) can be condensed on S-methylethiophene thiocarboxamide hydriodide, prepared according to a method in the literature (Ann. Chim. (1962), 7, 303-337). Condensation can be carried out by heating in an alcohol (for example in methanol or isopropanol), optionally in the presence of DMF at a temperature comprised between 50 and 100°C for a duration generally comprised between a few hours and overnight. The final molecules of general formula (I) are also accessible through another synthetic route passing through the intermediates of general formula (V) which carry a heterocyclic amine function protected by a protective group " Gp ", for example a 2-(trimethylsilyl)ethoxymethyl group (SEM) or by another protective group mentioned in: Protective groups in organic synthesis, 2d ed., (John Wiley & Sons Inc., 1991). The reduction and condensation stages which lead to intermediates (VI) and (VII) respectively are carried out under the same conditions as those described previously. The last stage of the synthesis consists in regenerating, for example in an acid medium or in the presence of a fluoride ion, the protected heterocyclic amine function. Alternatively, the intermediates of general formula (V) can be converted directly into the intermediate of general formula (II) by release of the heterocyclic amine by treatment, for example, in an acid medium or in the presence of a fluoride ion. Preparation of the compounds of general formula (II), (III) and (V): The intermediates of general formula (II), (III) and (V) can be prepared by the different synthetic routes illustrated below. When: Het = Imidazole, tetrahydropyridine, thiazolidine, dihydroimidazole-2-one and Y = -Y'-. The amines of general formula (II), diagram 2, in which A, X, Y and Het are as defined above, can be obtained by nucleophilic substitution of commercial halogenated derivatives of general formula (IX) by a heterocyclic amine of general formula (VIII). The reaction is carried out in acetonitrile, THF or DMF in the presence of a base such as K2CO3 at a temperature varying from 20 to 110°C. The synthesis of heterocyclic derivatives of general formula (VIII), which are not commercially-available, is described below. (Figure Removed) Wher Diagram 2 Het = imidazole, thiazolidine, tetrahydropyridine and Y = -Y'-. The heterocyclic amines of general formula (III), diagram 3, in which A, X, Y and Het are as defined above, are prepared in two stages starting from the amines of general formula (VIII) (see below). The mixture of a brominated derivative of general formula (X), the synthesis of which is explained in detail below, with an amine of general formula (VIII) in a solvent such as acetonitrile or DMF in the presence of a base leads to intermediates of general formula (XI). The deprotection of the amine function, in an organic acid medium, allows the compounds of general formula (III) to be obtained. (Figure Removed) Diagram 3 When: Het = thiazolidine and Y = -CO-Y'-. The carboxamides of general formula (III), diagram 4, in which A, X, Y and Het are as defined above, are prepared by condensation of the amines of general formula (VIII), decribed previously, with the carboxylic acids of general formula (X.2). The carboxamide bonds are formed under standard conditions of peptide synthesis (M. Bodanszky and A. Bodanszky, The Practice of Peptide Synthesis, 145 (Springer-Verlag, 1984)) in THF, dichloromethane or DMF in the presence of a coupling reagent such as dicyclohexylcarbodiimide (DCC), l,l'-carbonyldiimidazole (GDI) (J. Med. Chem. (1992), 35 (23), 4464-4472) or l-(3-dimethylaminopropyl)-3-ethylcarbodiimide hydrochloride (EDC or WSCI) (John Jones, The chemical synthesis of peptides, 54 (Clarendon Press, Oxford, 1991)). The synthesis of the carboxylic acids of general formula (X.2) is described below. The intermediates of general formula (XII) are then deprotected in an acid medium using, for example, trifluroroacetic acid or an organic solution of HC1.

The carboxamides of general formula (V), diagram 5, in which A, X, Y and Het are as defined above, are prepared by condensation of carboxylic acids of general formula (XIII) with the commercial amines of general formula (XIV) under standard conditions for peptide synthesis. The synthesis of the carboxylic acids of general formula (XIII) is described below. (Figure Removed) Diagram 5 When: Het = thiazole, furan, pyrrole, tetrahydropyridine, pyrrolidine and X = -NH-CO-X'-. The carboxamides of general formula (II), diagram 6, in which A, X, Y and Het are as defined above, are prepared by condensation of anilines of general formula (XV) with the carboxylic acids of general formula (XVI) under standard conditions for peptide condensation. The anilines of general formula (XV) are obtained by hydrogenation, in the presence of a catalytic quantity of Pd/C, of corresponding nitrobenzene derivatives, themselves synthesized according to a method described in the literature (J. Org. Chem. (1968), 33 (1), 223-226). The acids of general formula (XVI), diagram 6, which are not commercially-available, are prepared according to methods described in the literature. The synthesis of pyrroles is described in Chem. Heterocycl. Compd., 1982, 18, 375.

Pharmacological study of the products of the invention Study of the effects on neuronal constitutive NO synthase of a rat's cerebellum The inhibitory activity of the products of the invention is determined by measuring their o o effects on the conversion by the NO synthase of the [ H]L-arginine into [ H]L-citrulline according to the modified method of Bredt and Snyder (Proc. Natl. Acad. Sci. USA, (1990) 87: 682-685). The cerebellums of Sprague-Dawley rats (300g - Charles River) are rapidly removed, dissected at 4°C and homogenized in a volume of extraction buffer (HEPES 50 mM, EDTA 1 mM, pH 7.4, pepstatin A 10 mg/ml, leupeptin 10 mg/ml). The homogenates are then centrifuged at 21000 g for 15 min at 4°C. Dosage is carried out in glass test tubes in which 100 nl of incubation buffer containing 100 mM of HEPES (pH 7.4), 2 mM of EDTA, 2.5 mM of CaCl2, 2 mM of dithiotreitol, 2 mM of reduced NADPH and 10 u.g/ml of calmodulin are distributed. 25 |il of a solution containing 100 nM of [3H]L-arginine (Specific activity: 56.4 Ci/mmole, Amersham) and 40 ^iM of non-radioactive L-arginine is added. The reaction is initiated by adding 50 |il of homogenate, the final volume being 200 |il (the missing 25 |jl are either water or the tested product). After 15 min, the reaction is stopped with 2 ml of stopping buffer (20 mM of HEPES, pH 5.5, 2 mM of EDTA). After placing the samples on a 1 ml column of DOWEX resin, the radioactivity is quantified by a liquid scintillation spectrometer. The compounds of Examples 1, 6, 7 and 8 described above show an ICso lower than 3.5 u,M. As for the compound of Example 3, it shows an ICso lower than 5uM. Study of the effects on lipidic peroxidation of the cerebral cortex of a rat The inhibitory activity of the products of the invention is determined by measuring their effects on the degree of lipidic peroxidation, determined by the concentration of malondialdehyde (MDA). The MDA produced by peroxidation of unsaturated fatty acids is a good indication of lipidic peroxidation (H Esterbauer and KH Cheeseman, Meth. Enzymol. (1990) 186: 407-421). Male Sprague Dawley rats of 200 to 250 g (Charles River) were sacrificed by decapitation. The cerebral cortex is removed, then homogenized using a Thomas potter in a 20 mM Tris-HCl buffer, pH = 7.4. The homogenate was centrifuged twice at 50000 g for 10 minutes at 4°C. The pellet is maintained at -80°C. On the day of the experiment, the pellet is replaced in suspension at a concentration of 1 g/ 15 ml and centrifuged at 515 g for 10 minutes at 4° C. The supernatant is used immediately to determine the lipidic peroxidation. The homogenate of rat's cerebral cortex (500 p,l) is incubated at 37° C for 15 minutes in the presence of the compounds to be tested or of solvent (10 \il). The lipidic peroxidation reaction is initiated by adding 50 \\\ of FeCl2 at 1 mM, EDTA at 1 mM and ascorbic acid at 4 mM. After 30 minutes of incubation at 37°C, the reaction is stopped by adding 50 |il of a solution of hydroxylated di-tertio-butyl toluene (BHT, 0.2 %). The MDA is quantified using a colorimetric test, by reacting a chromogenic reagent (R), N-methyl-2-phenylindol (650 jil) with 200 u.1 of the homogenate for 1 hour at 45° C. The condensation of an MDA molecule with two molecules of reagent R produces a stable chromophore the maximum absorbence wavelength of which is equal to 586 nm. (Caldwell et al. European J.
