The present invention relates to a novel heterocyclic compound having an EP4 receptor antagonistic action, and may be useful an agent for the prophylaxis or treatment of EP4 receptor associated diseases (e.g., rheumatoid arthritis, aortic aneurysm (e.g. abdominal aortic aneurysm, thoracic aortic aneurysm, thoracoabdominal aortic aneurysm etc.), endometriosis, ankylosing spondylitis, inflammatory breast cancer etc.) and the like.
Prostaglandin E2 (PGE2) is one of the most broadly distributed prostanoids throughout animal species and widely produced within the body by the actions of cyclooxygenases (COX) on arachidonic acid. PGE2 is involved in a number of physiological and pathophysiological responses such as fever, pain, inflammation (non-patent document 1) and elicits its biological functions through four receptor subtypes EP1-4, all G-protein-coupled receptor.
Emerging biology has revealed important roles of EP4 receptors in immune system (non-patent documents 2 and 3). For example, EP4 receptor activation stimulates dendritic cells and promotes IL-23 production synergistically with CD40 and Toll-like receptor signaling. PGE2 then enhances the expansion of Th17 cells with IL-23. EP4 receptor activation promotes the differentiation of Th1 from naive T cells synergistically with IL-12. PGE2 synergistically induces IL-6 and IL-1β expression with LPS via EP4 receptors in macrophages. Th1, Th17 and macrophage cells play key roles in the development of autoimmune/inflammatory diseases. Thus, a selective EP4 receptor antagonist is expected to inhibit IL-23 & IL-6 production and suppression of Th1 & Th17 function (non-patent documents 4 and 5), reduce inflammatory pain and offers an attractive therapeutic approach for rheumatoid arthritis (RA), inflammatory bowel diseases and other autoimmune/inflammatory diseases.
Non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs) and COX-2 inhibitors are clinically proven to relieve inflammation and pain by inhibiting the synthesis of arachidonic acid pathway metabolites including PGE2. However, their use is associated with adverse effects due to pleiotropic function of arachidonic acid pathway metabolites and imbalance in their levels. An imbalance between TXA2 and PGI2, for example, has been implicated in the vasospasm, hyperaggregability and thromboembolism that are associated with many cardiovascular diseases (non-patent document 6). As EP4 selective antagonists specifically block PGE2 function through only EP4 receptor, leaving functions through other receptors intact, it is expected that they will not exhibit the adverse effects similar to that of NSAIDs and COX-2 inhibitors (non-patent document 7). Further, compared to other targeted therapies (e.g. JAK, TNFα, IL-6) for RA, EP4 antagonist has been shown to improve both joint damage and inflammatory pain in animal models. Thus, this mechanism has potential to “complete symptom management” for RA in clinic (non-patent document 8).
In addition to autoimmune diseases, endometriosis, aortic aneurysm (e.g. abdominal aortic aneurysm, thoracic aortic aneurysm, thoracoabdominal aortic aneurysm etc.) and ankylosing spondylitis are other indications for EP4 antagonist. Endometriosis (EM) is a chronic, estrogen-dependent inflammatory disease and defined as the presence of functional endometrial tissue at ectopic sites. It is a common disease that 10-20% of women of reproductive age are affected. The most common symptom is a dysmenorrhea. Chronic pelvic pain, dyspareunia, dyschezia (pain on defecation), loin pain, lower abdominal pain or back pain, pain on micturition, pain on exercise are also part of the symptoms of EM (non-patent document 9). Current treatments include surgical intervention, pharmacotherapies using NSAIDs, COX-2 inhibitors and hormonal therapies, or a combination of both. NSAIDs or COX-2 inhibitors are effective in relieving pelvic pain, but can cause severe side effects including gastrointestinal injury, nephropathy, and increase cardiovascular risk (non-patent document 10). Hormonal therapy controls disease conditions, but has side effect such as pseudomenopause and decreased bone density due to suppression of estrogen production (non-patent document 11). Development of a safer, but equally efficacious treatment is highly demanded. EP4 receptor proteins were abundantly expressed in human endometriosis tissues (ectopic and eutopic endometrium) during the proliferative phase of the menstrual cycle (non-patent document 12). In human immortalized endometriotic epithelial and stromal cells selective inhibition of EP4 induced apoptosis (non-patent document 12), inhibited proliferation (non-patent document 13), inhibited migration and invasion (non-patent document 14) and inhibited adhesion (non-patent document 15). These studies suggest that inhibition of EP4 signaling is a potential therapeutic option for women with EM (non-patent document 15).
Abdominal aortic aneurysm (AAA) is a common, progressive, and life-threatening degenerative vascular disease (non-patent documents 16 and 17). It is an inflammatory disorder characterized by localized connective tissue degeneration and smooth muscle cell apoptosis, leading to aortic dilatation and rupture (non-patent documents 18-20). After rupture occurs, the probability of mortality is greater than 60% (non-patent document 21). No pharmacotherapy has been found to be effective at decreasing the growth rate or rupture rate of AAAs except. In aneurysm walls, COX-2 is widely expressed in macrophages and smooth muscle cells, along with locally synthetized PGE2 (non-patent document 22). EP4 expression is increased in the aneurysm areas of human AAA tissues, both in human aortic aneurysm smooth muscle cell as well as in macrophages in the lesion (non-patent documents 23 and 24). EP4 receptor antagonist or global gene deletion of the EP4 receptor significantly decreased MMP-2 activation and IL-6 production in human AAA tissues and the rate of AAA formation in preclinical mouse models (non-patent document 23 and 25).
Ankylosing spondylitis is the prototypic spondyloarthropathy, one of a group of conditions which also includes psoriatic arthritis, reactive arthritis and arthritis complicating inflammatory bowel disease. Ankylosing spondylitis is highly heritable (non-patent documents 26 and 27) and familial (non-patent document 28). Men are affected 2-3 times more frequently than women. The disease is known to be strongly associated with HLA-B27. Since association between EP4 receptor gene (PTGER4) and ankylosing spondylitis has been also demonstrated (non-patent document 29), EP4 receptor is likely to be involved in disease pathogenesis. There is no cure for ankylosing spondylitis as yet, but the patient's back pain and stiffness usually show good symptomatic response to NSAIDs. Since EP4 antagonists are known to possess analgesic activity at least in animal models (non-patent documents 30 and 31), a safe and chronically-treatable EP4 antagonist may be an alternative symptom-relieving pharmacotherapy for ankylosing spondylitis.

Membrane Preparation:
The full-length coding sequences for human EP1 (NM_000955), human EP2 (NM_000956), human EP3 (NM_198717) and human EP4 (NM_000958) were cloned into pcDNA3.1(+) vector (Life Technologies, CA, USA). In order to prepare overexpressed EP 1-4 membrane in Freestyle293 cells (Life Technologies, CA, USA), the pcDNA3.1(+) vector encoding a cDNA of the relevant gene was transiently transfected into FreeStyle293 cells using 293Fectin (Life Technologies, CA, USA) according to the manufacturer instruction manual. After 2 days, cultured cells were centrifuged (1,000×g, 10 min, 4° C.) and pellets homogenized by a probe sonicator (Sonics vibracell, Sonics and Materials Inc., USA; 31% Amp, 5 sec pulse, 1 min interval, 4 cycles) in ice-cold 50 mM Tris-HCl buffer (pH 7.5 at 25° C.) containing 0.5 mM EDTA, 250 mM Sucrose and 10 mM MgCl2. Cell homogenates were centrifuged (890×g, 10 min, 4° C.), and the supernatant was recovered. Total membrane fractions were isolated by ultracentrifugation (140,000×g, 60 min, 4° C.) Pellets were re-suspended in the same buffer, and stored at −80° C. until use. The protein concentration in homogenate was determined with the BCA Protein Assay Kit (Pierce Biotechnology, Inc., IL, USA) according to the manufacturer protocol.
Primary In Vitro Binding Assay:
The binding affinity of the compounds was evaluated using a competitive radioligand binding assay which measured the specific binding of [3H] PGE2 to the human EP4 receptor. Briefly, varying concentrations of NCEs were incubated with cell membrane fractions generated HEK293F cells transiently transfected with human EP4 receptor as described above. Each reaction consisted of 10 μg membrane protein and NCE in 50 mM Tris-HCl, pH-6.0 by NaOH, 10 mM MgCl2 and 0.5 mM EDTA assay buffer. Radioligand, [3H] PGE2 (American Radiochemicals Inc. Specific Activity 180 Ci/mmol), at a final of 1 nM was added to each reaction where the final assay volume was 200 μL and concentration of DMSO was adjusted to 1%. Appropriate controls included total binding in the assay (vehicle control) and control for non-specific binding. Non-specific binding was evaluated by incubating the hEP4 protein with 10 μM unlabeled PGE2 under the same assay conditions as NCEs. The reaction was incubated at room temperature for 2 hours and terminated by harvesting the reaction contents to a PEI coated GF/C filter plate (PerkinElmer). The plate was washed four times with cold 50 mM Tris-HCl, pH-7.5 wash buffer and dried at 50° C. for 2 hours or at 37° C. overnight. [3H] PGE2 bound to the protein was quantified by the addition of 25 μL of Microscint PS (PerkinElmer) and plate was read on MicroBeta2 liquid Scintillation and luminescence counter (PerkinElmer). Data was analyzed using GraphPad Prism 5 (GraphPad Software Inc., San Diego, Calif.) where non-specific binding was normalized to 0% specific binding of [3]PGE2 and vehicle control (DMSO) was normalized to 100% specific binding of [3]PGE2. Binding affinity of NCEs, Ki, was generated using One site—Fit Ki equation in GraphPad Prism 5.
Functional Assay:
The functional assay for hEP4 activation and inhibition was carried out via the quantitative determination of agonist, PGE2, induced cAMP response using HTRF in a competitive immunoassay (Cisbio dynamic 2 kit). NCEs at varying concentrations were evaluated for inhibition of PGE2 induced increase in cAMP. Briefly, C6 glioma cells overexpressing hEP4 (Takeda) were cultured in DMEM (low glucose, pyruvate), 10% FBS (Gibco) and PenStep. The cells were harvested on the day of the assay, washed with HBSS+10 mM HEPES (pH 7.4)+0.1% BSA buffer and pre-incubated with varying concentrations of NCE. Each reaction contained 7000 cells and NCEs in HBSS+10 mM HEPES+0.1% BSA assay buffer along with PDE inhibitors IBMX and Ro 20-1724 (final concentration of each inhibitor 200 mM). Following 15 min pre-incubation, the cells were treated with EC80 concentration of agonist PGE2 for 30 min to induce cAMP. Final volume of the assay was 6 μL and DMSO concentration was maintained at 1%. The reaction was terminated with the addition of cAMP labeled with the dye d2 in lysis buffer according to manufacturers' protocol. This was followed by the addition of the anti-cAMP antibody labeled with Cryptate according to the manufacturers' protocol. The reaction was incubated at room temperature in dark for 45 min and the plate was evaluated for fluorescence at 665 nm (FRET) and 620 nm (cryptate emission) on a Flexstation III microplate reader (Molecular Devices, Sunnyvale, Calif.) Ex max: 313 nm; Em1: 620 nm; Em2: 665 nm. Data was analyzed using GraphPad Prism 5 (GraphPad Software Inc., San Diego, Calif.) where cells treated with agonist (EC80) was normalized to 0% inhibition of hEP4 and cells treated with buffer (no agonist) was normalized to 100% inhibition of hEP4. IC50 of NCEs was generated using non-linear regression—Log(inhibitor) vs. response equation in GraphPad Prism 5.
