The present invention also relates to processes for preparing the said novel compounds. More particularly the present invention relates to 2-alkyl/aryl sulphonyl-1,2,3,4-tetrahydro-9H-pyrido(3,4-b)indole-3-carboxylic acid esters/amides, processes for preps the said compounds and to their use in medicine.
Cardiovascular diseases associated with intravascular thrombosis are the most common cause of death in both developed and developing countries. Arterial and venous thromboses are the principal causes for the evolution of myocardial infarction, thromboembolic stroke and deep vein thrombosis. Approximately three million individuals die each year in the United States only from venous (deep vein thrombosis and pulmonary embolism) or arterial thrombosis (acute myocardial infarction and unstable angina).
Initiation of thrombosis is a complex process. The final event i.e. the thrombus formation, however, is primarily due to the activation of platelets and coagulation cascade. Clinical and experimental studies indicate that abnormalities in the normal blood flow, activation of platelets, coagulation cascade or fibrinolysis contribute to the pathogenesis of intravascular thrombosis/thromboembolism. Though the treatment strategy for thrombosis has improved with newer diagnostic and surgical tools but effective antithrombotic therapy with minimal side effects still poses a challenge to scientists around the globe.
Antithrombotic agents have been researched and developed for use in treating cardiovascular and other diseases. Presently established antithrombotic agents include heparin, coumarin, and aspirin. There are, however, limitations with these agents. For example, both heparin1 and coumarin2 have a highly-variable dose-related response, and their anticoagulant effects must be closely monitored to avoid a risk of serious bleeding. The erratic anticoagulant response of heparin is likely due to its propensity to bind non-specifically to plasma proteins. Aspirin has a limited efficacy and at high doses presents a risk of gastrointestinal bleeding.
Tissue plasminogen activators3,4, platelet GPIIb/IIIa antagonists5, ADP receptor antagonists6, are also being currently used to treat thrombosis, however, these drugs have some inherent problems and limitations. Therefore, new search is taken up to develop next generation anti-thrombotic agents such as direct thrombin inhibitors7, tissue factor pathway inhibitors8, Factor Xa inhibitors9, collagen antagonists10 and gene therapy. The search of a potent orally active and specific anti-thrombotic agent with minimal danger of bleeding or unrelated side effects is thus an area of interest. Moreover, the high cost of anticoagulant and antithrombotic therapy necessitates the search for efficacious new chemical entities.
The main object of the invention is to provide novel molecules 2-alkyl/aryl sulphonyl-1,2,3,4-tetrahydro-9H-pyrido(3,4-b)indole-3-carboxylic acid esters/amides that exhibit better therapeutic efficacy to treat intravascular thrombosis, myocardial ischemia and stroke over the existing antithrombotic agents.

The compounds of the invention show marked antithrombotic activity and can be used as therapeutic agents for the treatment of intravascular thrombosis, myocardial ischemia and stroke as shown for instance by the following data of the compounds
Pulmonary thromboembolism was induced by following a method of Diminno and Silver(1). Test compounds (30 μM/Kg) or vehicle were administered orally 60 min prior to the thrombotic challenge. A mixture of collagen (150 μg/ml) and adrenaline (50 μg/mL) was administered by the rapid intravenous injection into the tail vein to induce hind limb paralysis or death. A group of 10 animals were used to evaluate the effect of test compound, while 5 mice were used to assess effect of a standard drug, aspirin and a group of vehicle treated (n=5) mice was also used each experiment.
% Protection was expressed as:
Ptest is the number of animals paralyzed/dead in the test compound-treated group, and Pcontrol is the number of animals paralyzed/dead in vehicle treated group.
1.2 Effect on mouse-tail Bleeding time: Mice tail bleeding time was performed by method of Dejna et al,(2). The tail 2 mm from tip was incised and the blood oozed was soaked with filter paper till the bleeding stops. The time elapsed from the tip incision to the stoppage of bleeding was determined as the bleeding time. Test compound (30 μM/kg), aspirin or vehicle was given orally 60 min prior to the tail incision. Each group consisted of 5 mice.
1.3 Evaluation of compounds on platelet aggregation: Platelet aggregation was monitored according to the protocol described earlier(3). Sprague Dawley rats (wt 250-300 gm) were anaesthetized with ether and blood (9 mL) was drawn from the heart into a plastic syringe containing 1 ml of 1.9% tri-
Sodium citrate: The blood was centrifuged at 275×g for 20 min and the platelet rich plasma (PRP) was collect. The remaining blood was further centrifuged at 1500 g for 15 min at 20° C. to obtain platelet poor plasma (PPP). The platelet count in the PRP was adjusted to 2×108 cells/ml by using PPP. Adenosine-5′-diphosphate (ADP), thrombin, collagen, calcium ionophore A23187 or phorbol myristate ester (PMA) induced aggregation was monitored on a dual channel aggregometer (Chrono-log, USA). The test compound was incubated with PRP or 5 min before the addition of aggregation on inducing agent. Percent inhibition of the test compounds at various concentrations was calculated as follows:
1.4 Evaluation of coagulation parameters: Blood was collected by cardiac puncture from ether-anaesthetized rat using a syringe containing 3.2% tri-sodium citrate (9:1, v/v). Plasma was obtained by centrifugation of citrated blood at 2500×g for 15 min at 20° C. Stock solutions of the test compounds were prepared freshly in DMSO and were diluted in DMSO. Thrombin time (TT), prothrombin time (PT) and activated partial thromboplastin time (aPTT) were evaluated according to manufacturer's instructions supplied with kits (Stago, France) and measured by Coagulometer (Stago, France)(4). In each set of experiment effect of DMSO on these parameters was also assessed and was used to calculate change in TT, PT or aPTT.
1.5 Rabbit venous thrombosis model: Experiments were performed on New Zealand white strain rabbits (2-3 kg) either sex. Escherichia coli LPS strain 1055:B5 (Sigma Chemicals, USA) was injected intravenously via ear vein (1 μg/kg)(5,6). Jugular veins on both sides were exposed and dissected free from surrounding tissue. Two loose surer were placed 1.5 cm apart and all collateral veins were ligated. Four hours after E. coli endotoxin injection (animal is watched for any signs of hypersensitivity reaction during this period), stasis was established and maintained for 45 min by tightening the two sutures. Ligated segments were removed and opened longitudinally and the thrombus was carefully removed and weighed. Heparin sodium (Beparine from beef intestinal mucosa ≧140 USP units/mg; Biological E. Limited, India) was given in doses of (0.5, 0.25, 0.1 mg/kg i.v., via ear vein) 5 min before stasis.
1.6 Effect of compound (i) on human platelet aggregation in vitro: Platelet aggregation study was done on human platelets following isolation of PRP from the human blood as described above (1.3). Aggregation was induced by collagen (10 μg/ml, 5 μg/ml), ADP (10 μM) and thrombin (0.5 U/ml).
2. Results: Effect of test compounds is indicated in the following table (1) against collagen and epinephrine induced thrombosis in mice, which is a primary screening model to detect antithrombotic efficacy of the test agents. At the same dose these compounds were also evaluated for their effect on the bleeding time in mouse (Table 1).
Since compound (i), (ii) and (iii) exhibited significant protection these compounds were further analysed in greater details for the anti-thrombotic activity in various test systems, as indicated below.
Effect on venous thrombosis model in rabbit: The selected compounds were evaluated at 10 μM/Kg and 30 μM/kg dose for their efficacy against stasis induced thrombosis in LPS treated rabbits. (i) was found to be most effective as it inhibited thrombus formation significantly it both 30 and 10 μM/Kg, while n and a inhibited thrombus formations only at 30 μM/Kg. heparin was used a standard drug in this model and the results obtained are shown in the Table 2.
Ex vivo effect of selective compounds on rat platelet aggregation: Blood was collected in sodium citrate to obtain PRP and evaluate the ex vivo effect of selective compounds ((i), (ii), (iii) at 30 μM/kg administered by the ip route) against ADP, collagen, phorbol myristate ester (PMA) calcium ionophore (A23187), or thrombin induced aggregation. It was observed that all these compounds were consistent against collagen-induced platelet aggregation (Table 3). (iii) inhibited ADP (10 μM), collagen (10 μg/ml), PMA (1.5 μM), and thrombin (0.64 U/ml) induced platelet aggregation while no inhibition was found against calcium ionophore A23187 (2.5 μg/ml) induced platelet aggregation. Compound (ii) inhibited only ADP (10 μM), collagen (10 μg/ml), PM (1.5 μM), and A23187 (2.5 μg/ml) induced platelet aggregation however it did not inhibit thrombin (0.64 U/ml) induced platelet aggregation Compound (i) inhibited ADP (10 μM), collagen (10 μg/ml), and A23187 (2.5 μg/ml) induced platelet aggregation but bad no inhibitory effect against thrombin (0.64 U/ml) and PMA (1.5 μM) induced platelet aggregation.
Effect on clotting parameters: The selected compounds were also tested in vitro for their effect on thrombin time (TT), prothrombin time (PT) and activated partial thromboplastin time (aPTT) at 100 μg/ml and 200 μg/ml in vitro (Table 4). The test compounds at 100 μg/ml had no significant effect of on these parameters. Some effect was though seen on PT at 200 μg/ml concentration, but the concentration seems to be quite high.
Effect of compound (i) on human platelet aggregation in human PRP in vitro: Since the compound (i) exhibited promising profile against venous thrombosis model in rabbits as well as in other test systems; it was therefore further studied for inhibition of aggregation in human platelet rich plasma (PRP). It was found to be a competitive inhibitor of collagen induced platelet aggregation, collagen (10 μg/ml) induced aggregation was not so significantly reduced in presence of compound (i), while response of low concentration of collagen (5 μg/ml) was reduced significantly (
