The present invention relates to 2-mercapto-4,5-diarylimidazole derivatives having immunomodulating and cyclooxygenase-inhibiting action, pharmaceutical compositions which contain the compound, and their use in pharmacy.
The action of conventional nonsteroidal antiinflammatories, such as acetylsalicylic acid, is essentially based on the inhibition of cyclooxygenase, an enzyme of the arachidonic acid cascade, which is also known as prostaglandin G/H synthase. Meanwhile, two different forms of cyclooxygenase have been found, which are designated as COX-1 and COX-2. Despite numerous investigations, the biochemical mode of action of the two enzymes is not yet completely elucidated. Various studies have shown, however, that they play an essential role in numerous diseases and inflammatory processes.
Pharmacologically active imidazole compounds which inhibit cyclooxygenase-1 and -2 are already known. In J. Med. Chem. 1996, 39, 3927-37, for example, imidazole derivatives having 5-lipoxygenase- and cyclooxygenase-inhibiting action are described, 2-(4-methylsulfinylphenyl)-4-(4-fluorophenyl-5-(pyrid-4-yl)imidazole also having a cytokine-inhibiting action.
WO 95/00501 describes further phenylheterocycles which have a cyclooxygenase-inhibiting action, among these also 4,5-diaryl-substituted imidazoles, for the treatment of diseases which are connected with cyclooxygenase.
Pharmaceutically active imidazole derivatives are further known which contain 4,5-di-(hetero)arylimidazole elements and are substituted in the 2-position. U.S. Pat. No. 4,585,771 discloses, for example, 4,5-diphenylimidazole derivatives which are substituted in the 2-position by a pyrrolyl, indolyl, imidazolyl or thiazolyl radical and have an antiinflammatory and antiallergic activity. U.S. Pat. Nos. 4,528,298 and 4,402,960 furthermore describe 4,5-di(hetero)arylimidazole derivatives, which are substituted in the 2-position with a phenyl, pyridyl, N-oxypyridyl, pyrimidyl, thiazolyl or thienyl radical, and have an antiinflammatory and antiallergic activity.
DE 198 42 833 relates to 4-heteroaryl-5-phenylimidazole derivatives which are substituted in the 2-position by a phenylalkylthio group. These compounds act as antiinflammatories and inhibitors of cytokine release. WO 99/03837, WO 93/14081 and DE 198 42 833 describe 2-substituted imidazoles which inhibit the synthesis of a number of inflammatory cytokines. These compounds alternatively have a further substituent on the nitrogen atom in the 1-position.
Further pharmacologically active imidazole derivatives are known from U.S. Pat. Nos. 4,461,770, 4,584,310, JP 0140467, DE 28 23 197, EP 372445, WO 91/10662, Acta Chim. 1969, 61, 69-77 and J. Prakt. Chem. 1972, 314, 785-792.
It is known that the conventional nonsteroidal antiinflammatories have a number of undesired side effects, in particular gastrointestinal side effects, nephrotoxicity and allergic reactions. It was further found that the known compounds are not stable and are difficult to process or have a low activity.
In spite of the numerous known compounds, there is therefore furthermore a need for compounds having antiinflammatory, antipyretic and analgesic action, which inhibit the release of various cytokines and serve as inhibitors of the mediators of the arachidonic acid cascade. In particular there is a need for compounds which act not only on the parameters which are decisive in acute diseases, but which also can intervene in the immunological processes crucial for the chronic course (cytokine release, expression of cell-surface antigens). In particular, owing to the importance of the COX enzymes for a number of further pathological processes, e.g.: colon carcinoma, overshooting angiogenesis, excitatory neuronal processes, wound healing etc, the development of COX inhibitors has a novel and additional importance.
The object of the invention is the provision of such compounds.
Surprisingly, it has now been found that certain 2-mercapto-4,5-diarylimidazole derivatives are stable compounds which are easy to process, and which have a high cyclooxygenase-inhibiting action with a variable COX-1/COX-2 selectivity.
The present invention therefore relates to the 2-mercapto-4,5-diarylimidazole derivatives of the formula:
in which
If the compounds according to the invention contain asymmetric centers, racemates and optical isomers (enantiomers, diastereomers) are included.
The expression “alkyl” (also in combinations with other groups, such as aminoalkyl, alkylsulfonyl etc.) includes straight-chain and branched alkyl groups preferably having 1 to 6 and in particular 1 to 4 C atoms, such as methyl, ethyl, n- and i-propyl, n-, i- and t-butyl, sec-butyl, n-pentyl and n-hexyl.
If alkyl is substituted by halogen, preferably 1, 2 or 3 halogen substituents are present. Preferred examples of halogen-substituted alkyl are chloromethyl, CHF2 and in particular CF3.
The expression “alkylene” preferably represents a straight-chain or branched alkylene group having 1 to 6, preferably 1 to 4, C atoms, such as methylene, ethylene, ethylidene, 1,2- or 1,3-propylene, 1,4-butylene or 1,6-hexylene.
The expression “alkenyl” represents a straight-chain or branched alkenyl group having 2 to 6 and in particular 2 to 4 C atoms, such as —CH═CH2, —CH═CHCH3 or —CH2—CH═CH2.
The expression “halogen” represents a fluorine, chlorine, bromine or iodine atom, in particular a fluorine or chlorine atom.
Nonaromatic heterocyclic radicals are preferably piperidinyl, pyranyl, morpholinyl or pyrrolidinyl.
Preferred aromatic heterocyclic radicals are pyridyl, in particular 2-, 3- or 4-pyridyl, furyl, in particular 2-furyl, thienyl, in particular 2-thienyl, pyrimidinyl, pyrrolyl, imidazolyl, oxazolyl, isoxazolyl or thiazolyl. Furyl and thienyl are preferred.
If R7 represents a radical fused to a benzene ring, it is preferably quinolyl, in particular 2-quinolyl, or benzimidazole, in particular 2-benzimidazole.
Compounds of the formula I are preferred where one of the radicals R3 and R4 is an OH group or C1-C6-alkoxy group, preferably a methoxy group. Additionally preferably, both radicals R3 and R4 are an OH group or C1-C6-alkoxy group, preferably a methoxy group. Particularly preferably, one or both radicals R3 and R4 are a C1-C6-alkoxy group, in particular OCH3.
Compounds of the formula I are furthermore preferred where R2 is hydrogen or methyl, preferably hydrogen.
Preferred embodiments are as follows:
Particularly preferably, in the above embodiments a) to k) both radicals R3 and R4 are OC1-C6-alkyl.
The physiologically tolerable salts can in the present case be acid addition or base addition salts. For acid addition salts, inorganic acids such as hydrochloric acid, sulfuric acid or phosphoric acid are employed or organic acids such as tartaric acid, citric acid, maleic acid, fumaric acid, malic acid, mandelic acid, ascorbic acid, gluconic acid and the like.
The compounds according to the invention are prepared in a 2-stage process. First, the synthesis of a 4,5-diaryl-1H-imidazole-2-thiol is carried out. This is then reacted in the second step such that the desired substituents are introduced. The substituents are preferably introduced into the positions 1 and 2 on the nitrogen or sulfur atom.
The preparation of the compounds according to the invention is illustrated by way of example of compounds in which R3 and R4 are both a methoxy group. Compounds having other radicals R3 and R4 can be prepared in a corresponding manner.
1) Preparation of the 4,5-diaryl-1H-imidazole-2-thiols
a) Symmetrically substituted 4,5-diaryl-1H-imidazole-2-thiols
By reacting the corresponding benzoins (compounds 1), which are obtainable by benzoin condensation, e.g., according to Houben-Weyl, Methoden der organischen Chemie (Methods of organic chemistry), volume 7/2a, Thieme-Verlag, Stuttgart, 1973, 653-671, with thiourea, symmetrically substituted 4,5-diaryl-1H-imidazole-2-thiols (compounds 2) are synthesized by the process from scheme I. The process is described in Liebigs Ann. Chem. 1895, 284, 24-29.
b) Unsymmetrically substituted 4,5-diaryl-1H-imidazole-2-thiols
Unsymmetrically substituted 4,5-diaryl-1H-imidazole-2-thiols are, however, preferably synthesized according to the process from scheme II. In this process, an aldehyde is reacted with 1,3-propanedithiol in the presence of an acid, the polarity of the electrophilic carbon of the carbonyl group being reversed by conversion to the cyclic dithioacetal. The methyl group between the two sulfur atoms can be deprotonated using a strong base such as n-butyllithium, which makes possible the addition of another aldehyde, see J. Org. Chem. 1966, 31, 4303-4304. The thioacetal function is then converted into the corresponding carbonyl compound by addition of a mercury salt, see Liebigs Ann. Chem. 1981, 10-19. The benzoins thus obtained are then reacted with thiourea according to the condensation already described, the unsymmetrically substituted 4,5-diaryl-1H-imidazole-2-thiols of the formula 2 in scheme 2 being formed.
2. Introduction of the desired substituents
The substitutions of the 4,5-diaryl-1H-imidazole-2-thiols can be carried out by customary processes. These include reactions for the substitution of the sulfur in position 2 of the imidazole ring by nucleophilic substitution for the introduction of a group having an alkyl, amine, aryl ketone, acetic acid ethyl ester, carbonyl and substituted carbonyl function.
The nucleophilic substitution of the thiols is carried out by reaction with the side chain to be introduced, which has a suitable leaving group, e.g. a halogen atom, in particular a bromine or iodine atom, the methanesulfonyl or toluenesulfonyl group. The reaction is customarily carried out in the presence of a base, such as sodium carbonate or potassium carbonate or the sodium or potassium salt of the thiol is employed, which is generated by reaction of the thiol with a base, such as a sodium or potassium alkoxide. The substitution is in general carried out in a polar organic solvent, such as methanol, ethanol, dimethylformamide etc, and at a temperature in the range from room temperature up to the boiling point of the reaction mixture.
The introduction of a side chain using a carboxylic acid amide or sulfonamide group is expediently carried out according to scheme 3 below:
The compound T15 is prepared by nucleophilic substitution as described above. The reaction of T15 is then carried out in a polar, aprotic organic solvent, such as tetrahydrofuran (THF), dioxane etc. at a temperature in the range from −60° C. to approximately ambient temperature.
The preparation of the compounds of the formula I having a urea group in the side chain is carried out in a customary manner.
The oxidation of the sulfur in the 2-position of the imidazole to the corresponding sulfinyl or sulfonyl compound is carried out according to customary processes using a suitable oxidant, e.g., m-chloroperbenzoic acid, hydrogen peroxide, benzoyl peroxide etc.
The compounds according to the invention are potent selective inhibitors of cyclooxygenase. Cyclooxygenase is an enzyme of the arachidonic acid cascade, in which prostaglandins, for example the prostaglandins G2 and H2, and thromboxanes are formed from the C20-carboxylic acid arachidonic acid.
The compounds according to the invention are suitable on account of their cyclooxygenase-inhibiting action as antiallergic, antipyretic and analgesic active compounds for the treatment of diseases which are connected with a disturbance of the immune system. They are suitable, for example, for the inhibition of prematurely commencing labor, for the treatment of cancer, for example colon carcinoma, and Alzheimer's disease. Further possibilities of use are offered in the treatment of autoimmune diseases, rheumatoid arthritis, gout, septic shock, osteoporosis, neuropathic pain, alopecia, psoriasis, acute pancreatitis, rejection reactions in allogenic transplants, allergically caused pneumonia, arteriosclerosis, multiple sclerosis, cachexia and inflammatory bowel disease (IBD), adenomatous polyposis (Gardner's syndrome), and colon carcinoma, for the inhibition of angiogenesis in connection with oncoses. Moreover, the compounds are utilizable for the topical treatment of inflammations of differing origin (contact eczema, erythema, such as UV erythema).
The compounds according to the invention can be administered either as individual active compounds or as mixtures with other therapeutic active compounds. The compounds can be administered systemically or as topical active compounds. The compounds can be administered on their own, but in general they are dosed and administered in the form of pharmaceutical compositions, i.e., as mixtures of the active compounds with suitable pharmaceutical carriers or diluents. For systemic action, the compounds or compositions can be administered orally or parenterally, preferably they are given in oral dosage forms.
The nature of the pharmaceutical composition or carrier or of the diluent depends on the desired administration form. Oral compositions can be present, for example, as tablets or capsules and can contain customary excipients such as binders (e.g., syrup, acacia, gelatin, sorbitol, tragacanth or polyvinylpyrrolidone), fillers (e.g., lactose, sugar, cornstarch, calcium phosphate, sorbitol or glycine), lubricants (e.g., magnesium stearate, talc, polyethylene glycol or silicon dioxide), disintegrants (e.g., starch) or wetting agents (e.g., sodium laurylsulfate). Liquid oral preparations can be in the form of aqueous or oily suspensions, solutions, emulsions, syrups, elixirs or sprays and the like. They can also be present as a dry powder, which is prepared for reconstitution with water or another suitable carrier. Liquid preparations of this type can contain customary additives, for example suspending agents, flavorings, diluents or emulsifiers. For parenteral administration, solutions or suspensions with customary pharmaceutical carriers can be employed.
The compounds or compositions according to the invention can be administered to mammals (human or animal) in a dose of approximately 0.5 to 100 mg per kg of body weight per day. They can be given in an individual dose or in a number of doses. The spectrum of action of the compounds as inhibitors of cyclooxygenases (COX-1 and COX-2) was investigated with the aid of the test systems below.
The compounds according to the invention can also be present as pharmaceutical or cosmetic preparations for topical administration, for example in the form of emulsions, pastes, ointments, gels, creams, lotions, powders or sprays. In addition to the active compound(s), these preparations can contain customary vehicles. The preparations in the form of ointments, pastes, creams or gels can contain, for example, animal and/or vegetable fats, waxes, paraffins, starch, tragacanth, cellulose derivatives, polyethylene glycols, silicones, bentonites, silicic acid, talc and zinc oxide or mixtures thereof. In addition to the active compounds, powders and sprays can contain, for example, lactose, talc, silicic acid, aluminum hydroxide, calcium silicate and polyamide powder. Emulsions and lotions can contain customary solvents, diluents and emulsifiers.
In-vitro Test Procedure for the Determination of COX-1 Inhibition
The inhibition of the cyclooxygenase pathway is carried out by fluorimetric quantification of malonaldehyde (MA). This condenses in the acidic medium with twice the molar amount of thiobarbituric acid to give a red pigment dye, which has a fluorescence at λExcitation: 533 nm, λEmission: 550 nm.
A platelet suspension obtained from pig's blood is preincubated with the test substance for 10 min at 37° C. The concentration of the suspension should be 8×108 cells/ml. The arachidonic acid cascade is then activated by addition of the antibiotic calcium ionophore A23187 (5 mol/l). After a further 10 min at 37° C., the reaction is stopped using a trichloroacetic acid solution. The samples are centrifuged and the supernatant is incubated with thiobarbituric acid for 30 min at 70° C. After cooling (30 min at room temperature), the samples are measured fluorimetrically at 533/550 nm and the IC50 values of the test compounds are determined therefrom by means of a calibration curve.
In-vitro Test Procedure for the Determination of COX-2 Inhibition
The procedure is carried out on LPS-stimulated human monocytes which have been obtained by Ficoll extraction. The measurement variable used is the PGE2 formed, which is determined by means of ELISA.
The results of the in-vitro test for COX-1 inhibition are shown in tables 1 to 17 below.
Particularly suitable compounds according to the invention are the compounds T2, T11, T51, T70, T71 and T80 having IC50 values in the molar region of 10−9. These compounds show a particularly high activity for the inhibition of cyclooxygenase-1.
The results of the in-vitro tests for COX-2 inhibition are shown in table 18 below.
It has been found that the compound T29 according to the invention inhibits both isoenzymes, COX-1 and COX-2, with approximately equally high potency. A medium-strong inhibition for both enzymes was observed with the compound T 109.
