Description




TECHNICAL FIELD




The present invention relates to compounds having a high affinity for mitochondrial diazepam binding inhibitor receptor (MDR).




BACKGROUND ART




Benzodiazepine (BZ) receptors which are an acting site of anti-anxiety drugs are classified into 2 subtypes of central benzodiazepine receptor (CBR) located on GABA


A


receptor/chloride channel complex and MDR located on the central nervous system (glial cells) or adrenal glands (Clin. Neuropharmacol., 16, 401-417 (1993)). Recently, CBR agonists of which representative is diazepam are widely used as anti-anxiety drugs. However, since CBR agonists act directly on GABA


A


receptor/chloride channel complex, they cause an anti-anxiety action together with side-effects such as excessive sedation or psychic dependence. On the other hand, since MDR agonists act indirectly on GABA


A


receptor/chloride channel complex via synthesis of neurosteroids such as endogenous neuroactive steroids (endogenous anti-anxiety substances), they cause an anti-anxiety action, but do not cause side-effects such as psychic dependence or excessive sedation (J. Pharmacol. Exp. Ther., 267, 462-471, 1993; ibid., 265, 649-656, 1993).




Accordingly, there is a need of the development of therapeutic agents for diseases (obsessive disorders, panic disorders) on which the previous BZs do not have a satisfactorily therapeutic effect, and development of MDR agonists as anti-anxiety drugs which alleviate the side-effects as recognized in the previous BZs.




Furthermore, the compounds which act on MDR, in view of acting on GABA


A


receptors, have a possibility of use as therapeutical agents of sleeping disorders, epilepsy, dyskinesia accompanied by muscle rigidity, feeding disorders, circulation disorders, recognition and learning disability or drug dependence (Progress in Neurobiology, 38, 379-395, 1992, ibid., 49, 73-97, 1996; J. Neurochem., 58, 1589-1601; Neuropharmacol., 30, 1435-1440, 1991). In addition, these compounds, in view of the physiological functions of MDR, have a possibility of use as therapeutic agents of cancer (Biochimica et Biophysica Acta, 1241, 453-470, 1995), lipid metabolism abnormality (Eur. J. Pharmacol., 294, 601-607, 1995), schizophrenia (Neuropharmacology, 35, 1075-1079, 1996), cerebral infarction (J. Neurosci., 15, 5263-5274, 1995), AIDS (Abstracts of the fifth international conference on AIDS, p. 458, 1989), Alzheimer's disease (Alzheimer Dis. Assoc. Disotd., 2, 331-336, 1988) or Huntington chorea (Brain Res., 248, 396-401, 1982).




Among the compounds having affinity for MDR, there are indole compounds disclosed in Japanese Translation of PCT publication (Kohyo) No. 6-501030.




DISCLOSURE OF THE INVENTION




As a result of extensive researches about compounds having a high affinity for MDR, the present inventors have found that the specific 1,2-dihydro-2-oxoquinoline derivatives meet the above object, thus the present invention has been accomplished. As stated above, while the indole compounds having an affinity for MDR are known, there are not reported 1,2-dihydro-2-oxoquinoline derivatives of the present invention which have an affinity for MDR.

[General Preparation Method 1]











Step (A): A 1,2-dihydro-2-oxoquinolinecarboxylate ester derivative (1) can be reacted with an arylalkyl halide derivative (2) in an inert solvent, if necessary, by using a phase transfer catalyst in the presence of a base to give a 1-arylalkyl-1,2-dihydro-2-oxoquinolinecarborboxylate ester derivative (3).




Examples of the inert solvent are alcohols (e.g. methanol or ethanol), ethers (e.g. 1,2-dimethoxyethane or tetrahydrofuran), hydrocarbons (e.g. toluene or benzene), halogenide solvents (e.g. chloroform or dichloromethane), acetonitrile, N,N-dimethylformamide, water and a mixture thereof. Examples of the phase transfer catalyst are quaternary ammonium salts (e.g. benzyltriethyl ammonium bromide) and crown ethers (e.g. 18-crown-6-ether). Examples of the base are inorganic bases (e.g. potassium carbonate, sodium hydroxide, sodium hydride or metallic sodium) and alcoholates (e.g. potassium t-butoxide or sodium ethoxide).




Step (B): The 1-arylalkyl-1,2-dihydro-2-oxoquinolinecarborboxylate ester derivative (3) is hydrolyzed with a base or an acid in an inert solvent to give a 1-arylalkyl-1,2-dihydro-2-oxoguinolinecarboxylic acid derivative (4).




Examples of the inert solvent are alcohols (e.g. methanol or ethanol), ketones (e.g. acetone), ethers (e.g. 1,2-dimethoxyethane or tetrahydrofuran), hydrocarbons (e.g. toluene or benzene), halogenide solvents (e.g. chloroform or dichloromethane), acetonitrile, N,N-dimethylformamide and a mixture of these solvents with water. Examples of the base are inorganic bases (e.g. potassium carbonate, sodium carbonate, potassium hydroxide or sodium hydroxide). Examples of the acid are hydrochloric acid, sulfuric acid and phosphoric acid.




Step (C): The compound (6) of the present invention can be synthesized from the 1-arylalkyl-1,2-dihydro-2-oxoquinolinecarboxylic acid derivative (4) via the acid halide or mixed acid anhydride thereof.




The acid halide includes an acid chloride and an acid bromide, and for example, they can be obtained by reacting a halogenating agent (e.g. thionyl chloride, thionyl bromide, oxalyl chloride, carbon tetrachloride—triphenylphosphine or carbon tetrabromide—triphenylphosphine) in an inert solvent. Examples of the above inert solvent are ethers (e.g. tetrahydrofuran), hydrocarbons (e.g. toluene or benzene), halogenide solvents (e.g. chloroform or dichloromethane), acetonitrile and N,N-dimethylformamide.




The mixed acid anhydride includes an anhydride of a carboxylic acid with a carbonic acid, and for example, it can be obtained by reacting a halocarbonate ester (e.g. ethyl chlorocarbonate or isobutyl chlorocarbonate) in the presence of an organic base (e.g. triethylamine, diisopropylethylamine, N-methylmorpholine or pyridine) or an inorganic base (e.g. sodium hydride) in an inert solvent. Examples of the inert solvent are ethers (e.g. tetrahydrofuran), hydrocarbons (e.g. toluene or benzene), halogenide solvents (e.g. chloroform or dichloromethane), acetonitrile and N,N-dimethylformamide.




The compound (6) of the present invention can be also obtained by the reaction of the 1-arylalkyl-1,2-dihydro-2-oxoquinolinecarboxylic acid derivative together with a condensing agent and an amine (5) in an inert solvent.




The condensing agent refers to a conventional amidating reagent such as, for example, diphenylphosphoryl azide, diethyl cyanophosphate, carbonyldiimidazole or carbodiimides of which representatives are N,N′-dicyclohexylcarbodiimide and N-ethyl-N′-dimethylaminopropylcarbodiimide hydrochloride. Examples of the inert solvent are ethers (e.g. 1,2-dimethoxyethane or tetrahydrofuran), hydrocarbons (e.g. toluene or benzene), halogenide solvents (e.g. chloroform or dichloromethane), acetonitrile and N,N-dimethylformamide. In this reaction, if necessary, N-hydroxysuccinimide, 1-hydroxybenzotriazole, 3-hydroxy-4-oxo-3,4-dihydro-1,2,3-benzotriazine, etc. can be added as an activating agent.




[General Preparation Method 21]











A 1,2-dihydro-2-oxoquinolinecarboxylic acid derivative (7) is amidated according to Step (C) to give a compound (8) of the present invention, which is then subjected to 1-arylalkylation according to Step (A) to give a compound (6) of the present invention.




[General Preparation Method 31]











Step (D): An isatoic anhydride derivative (9) is reacted with a malonate ester (10) in an inert solvent in the presence of a base to give a 4-hydroxy-1,2-dihydro-2-oxoquinolinecarboxylate ester derivative (11).




Examples of the inert solvent are alcohols (e.g. methanol or ethanol), ethers (e.g. 1,2-dimethoxyethane or tetrahydrofuran), hydrocarbons (e.g. toluene or benzene), halogenide solvents (e.g. chloroform or dichloromethane), acetonitrile, N,N-dimethylformamide, water and a mixture thereof. The base includes inorganic bases (e.g. potassium carbonate, sodium hydroxide, sodium hydride or metallic sodium) or alcoholates (e.g. potassium t-butoxide or sodium ethoxide).




Step (E): The 4-hydroxy-1,2-dihydro-2-oxoquinolinecarboxylate ester derivative (11) can be reacted with an amine derivative (5) in an inert solvent to give a compound (12) of the present invention.




Examples of the inert solvent are alcohols (e.g. methanol or ethanol), ethers (e.g. 1,2-dimethoxyethane or tetrahydrofuran), hydrocarbons (e.g. toluene or benzene), halogenide solvents (e.g. chloroform or dichloromethane), acetonitrile, N,N-dimethylformamide, water and a mixture thereof.

The reaction solution was heated to 80° C., and a solution of 6.70 g of N-benzylisatoic anhydride in 20 ml of N,N-dimethylformamide was added dropwise. After the addition, the reaction mixture was stirred under heating at 120° C. for 7 hours. After cooling to room temperature, the reaction mixture was poured into ice water and washed with ethyl acetate. The aqueous phase was made acidic with 1 N hydrochloric acid, and extracted with ethyl acetate. The organic phase was washed with a saturated aqueous sodium chloride solution, and dried over anhydrous magnesium sulfate. After removal of the drying agent by filtration, the filtrate was concentrated under reduced pressure.

Experiment [MDR Receptor Binding Assay]




Crude mitochondria fractions prepared from rat cerebral cortex were used as a receptor sample, and [


3


H]PK11195 was used as a [3H]-labeled ligand.




A binding assay using the [


3


H]-labeled ligand was carried out according to the following method as described in Journal of Pharmacology and Experimental Therapeutics, 262, 971(1992).




Preparation of Receptor Sample: Rat cerebral cortex was homogenized using a Teflon-coated homogenizer in a 10 mM HEPES buffer (pH 7.4) containing 0.32 M sucrose in ten volumes of the wet weight. The homogenate was centrifuged at 900×g for 10 minutes, and the resulting supernatant was centrifuged at 9,000×g for 10 minutes. The precipitate was suspended in a HEPES buffer to give a protein concentration of 1 mg/ml, and centrifuged at 12,000×g for 10 minutes. The resulting precipitate was suspended in a 50 mM HEPES buffer (pH 7.4) to give a crude mitochondria fraction.




MDR Binding Assay: Mitochondria sample (1.0 mg protein/ml), [


3


H]PK11195 (2 nM) and the test drug were reacted at 4° C. for 90 minutes.




After completion of the reaction, the reaction mixture was filtered with suction through a glass filter (GF/B) treated with 0.3% polyethyleneimine, and the radioactivity on the filter was measured by a liquid scintillation spectrometer.




The binding at the reaction in the presence of 10 μM PK11195 was defined as non-specific binding of [


3


H]PK11195, and the difference between total binding and non-specific binding was defined as specific binding. A fixed concentration of [


3


H]PK11195 (2 nM) was reacted with varied concentrations of the test drug under the above-mentioned conditions to give an inhibition curve, and the concentration (IC


50


) of the test drug to exhibit 50% inhibition of [


3


H]PK11195 binding was measured by the inhibition curve, and results are shown in Table 3.
