Description
TECHNICAL FIELD

The present invention relates to a novel 1-adamantyl azetidin-2-one derivative having an 11β-hydroxy steroid dehydrogenase 1-inhibitory activity and a medicine comprising the same.


BACKGROUND ART

11β-hydroxysteroid dehydrogenase (hereinafter, abbreviated as 11β-HSD)1 is an enzyme that converts in cells an inactive form of glucocorticoid (cortisone or 11-dehydrocorticosterone) into an active form of glucocorticoid (cortisol or 11β-corticosterone), and is found to be expressed on the liver, central nerves and the like as well as subcutaneous fat and visceral fat (non-patent documents 1 and 2). Meanwhile, in cells, enzyme 11β-HSD2 is also present that converts an active form of glucocorticoid into an inactivated form. An active form of glucocorticoid is converted in cells from inactive precursor by the action of 11β-HSD1, thereby exercises its effect. Glucocorticoid has been reported to be involved in adipocyte differentiation and to inhibit glycolipid metabolism that is helped by insulin (non-patent document 3). 11β-HSD1 activity and expression level in adipose tissues positively correlate with body-mass index (BMI) or insulin resistance (non-patent document 4). Further, it is reported that a transgenic mouse over-expressing 11β-HSD1 specifically in adipose tissues exhibits a phenotype comprising a combination of major factors of metabolic syndrome, such as visceral fat accumulation, insulin resistance, dyslipidemia, hypertension and fatty liver (non-patent documents 5 and 6). By contrast, it is reported that, in an 11β-HSD1 knockout mouse, an inactive form cannot be converted to an active form and as a result, the induction of the group of gluconeogenic enzymes attributable to the burden of high-fat food does not occur in the liver, which acts suppressively on hyperglycaemia due to obesity (non-patent document 7). It is also reported that decreased blood triglyceride, elevated HDL cholesterol, and improved insulin resistance were observed (non-patent document 8). From these findings, active form of glucocorticoid produced excessively by 11β-HSD1 is considered to cause the onset of a metabolic disease such as diabetes, insulin resistance, diabetes complication, obesity, dyslipidemia (hyperlipidemia), hypertension, and fatty liver, or a metabolic syndrome pathology which comprises a series of these metabolic diseases. Therefore, a selective inhibitor of 11β-HSD1 is believed to be useful for treating or preventing the above pathologies.


Heretofore, many compounds have been reported for the purpose of inhibiting 11β-HSD1 activity. The examples of reported compounds include compounds having a spiro structure (patent documents 1 to 4), adamantane derivative (patent document 5), sulfonamide derivative (patent document 6), pyrazole derivative (patent document 7), isooxazole derivative (patent document 8), triazole derivative (patent document 9), tetrazole derivative (patent document 10), pyridine derivative (patent document 11), pyrimidine derivative (patent document 12), piperidine derivative (patent document 13), pyridazine derivative (patent document 14), pyrrolidine derivative (patent document 15), thiazole derivative (patent document 16), thiophene derivative (patent document 17), lactam derivative (patent document 18) and the like.


On the other hand, a compound having an adamantyl group on the nitrogen atom (1-adamantyl azetidin-2-one derivative) has been reported. Examples include a compound having action of inhibiting cholesterol absorption (non-patent document 9); a compound having an action of enhancing release of neurotransmitter (patent document 19); and a compound having an antiviral action (patent document 20). Further, 1-adamantyl azetidin-2-one derivative has been reported as a subject of reaction and synthesis studies (non-patent document 10, non-patent document 11, non-patent document 12, non-patent document 13, patent document 21, non-patent document 14, non-patent document 15, non-patent document 16, non-patent document 17). Such are the reports on a compound having 1-adamantyl azetidin-2-one derivative skeleton, and most of them are reported as a compound not having substituent on the 4th position of azetidin-2-one ring, which is different from the 1-adamantyl azetidin-2-one derivative of the present invention. As for the compound which is the closest to the Compound of the present invention (compound No. 79 in the non-patent document 9), the substituent of the 3rd position of azetidin-2-one ring is different from the 1-adamantyl azetidin-2-one derivative of the present invention. Further, there is no description nor suggestion that 1-adamantyl azetidin-2-one derivative inhibits 11β-HSD1 activity, and it has not been known at all that azetidin-2-one skeleton compound is useful as an agent for preventing and/or treating diabetes, insulin resistance, diabetes complication, obesity, dyslipidemia, hypertension, fatty liver, or metabolic syndrome.

Test Example 1
Human 11β-HSD1-, Human 11β-HSD2- and Mouse 11β-HSD1-Inhibitory Effect
1. Human 11β-HSD1-, Human 11β-HSD2- and Mouse 11β-HSD1-Gene Clonings and Establishment of Stably Expressing Cells

Human 11β-HSD1-, human 11β-HSD2-, and mouse 11β-HSD1-gene clonings were conducted using as a template a reverse transcription product of human-liver RNA, human-kidney RNA (CELL APPLICATIONS), and mouse-kidney RNA respectively, by means of PCR cloning with reference to nucleotide sequences of Genbank Accession Nos. NM005525, NM000196, and NM008288. The obtained PCR products of about 0.9 kbp, 1.2 kbp, and 0.9 kbp were subcloned into an expression vector pcDNA3.1+/Zeo (Invitrogen).


Human 11β-HSD1- and human 11β-HSD2-expressing vectors were transfected into human kidney-derived cell line, HEK293 cells, using a transfection reagent, jet PEI (Funakoshi). Mouse 11β-HSD1 was transfected to Chinese hamster ovary-derived cell line, CHO-K1 cells. Selection was conducted with 200-400 μg/mL of zeocine (Invitrogen) to provide stably expressing-cell clones. The stably expressing cells were suspended in buffer solution A (20 mmol/L Tris-HCl, pH 7.4, 250 mmol/L sucrose, 1 mmol/L EGTA, 1 mmol/L EDTA, 1 mmol/L MgCl2), sonicated, and then stored at −80° C.


2. Assay of Enzyme Inhibitory Activity

An enzymatic reaction was conducted using a polystyrene 96-well plate. Each well was added with 1 μL of a test agent dissolved in DMSO and then diluted (0.003 to 3 mmol/L), and further added with 10 μL of cell lysate diluted to a concentration of 0.1 mg/mL to 0.4 mg/mL. Next, 90 μL of buffer solution A containing substrate (100 nmol/L cortisone or cortisol) and coenzyme (400 μmol/L NADPH or NAD+) was added and the mixture was incubated at 37° C. for 1 hour. The enzymatic reaction was stopped by treating at 95° C. for 3 minutes. Cortisol that was present in the reaction solution was determined by a competitive ELISA shown below.


Anti-rabbit IgG antibody (Chemi-con) diluted to 2 μg/mL with carbonate buffer solution (pH 9.6) was added in 100 μL each to a 96-well immuno plate (Nunc) and immobilized by an incubation at 4° C. overnight. 50 μL of enzymatic reaction solution was put onto the plates, and further, anti-cortisol antibody (Cosmo Bio) and HRP-labeled cortisol (Cosmo Bio), diluted with buffer solution B (25 mmol/L Tris-HCl pH 7.4, 137 mmol/L NaCl, 2.68 mmol/L KCl), were added in 50 μL respectively and incubated at 4° C. overnight. After washed three times with buffer solution B containing 0.05% Tween 20, the plates were allowed to develop color by adding 100 μL, of color reagent, TMB (Moss). The color reaction was stopped by 25 μL of 1 mol/L sulfuric acid and the absorbance was determined at 450 nm with a microplate reader (Molecular Device, VersaMax).


The values of human 11β-HSD1, human 11β-HSD2, and mouse 11β-HSD1 activities were subtracted from 100, and the resultant values were regarded as the respective 11βHSD inhibition rates of example compounds. For each example compound, the value of 50% inhibitory concentration (IC50) was calculated from 11β-HSD inhibition rates at plural concentrations, for 11β-HSD1 and 11β-HSD2 activities. The comparison of human 11β-HSD1 and human 11β-HSD2 inhibiting activities is shown in Table 1, and the comparison of human 11β-HSD1 and mouse 11β-HSD1 inhibiting activities is shown in Table 2.

For medicine development, it is required to make a dosage selection for clinical experiments by extrapolating data which have been accumulated with animal models to human. Sometimes, the difference of enzyme species becomes an issue for evaluating an inhibitor targeting a certain enzyme, such as the compound of the present invention. Specifically, as rodents such as mouse are generally used as an animal model, a compound having an inhibitory activity to mouse type enzyme as well as human type enzyme, has an advantageous property for evaluating usefulness as medicine. As it is shown in Table 2, the compound of the present invention has been confirmed to have an inhibitory effect to mouse 11β-HSD1 as well.
