3-[4-(Phenylaminooxalylamino)phenyl]hex-4-ynoic acids, process for preparation thereof and use thereof as a medicament
The invention relates to 3-[4-(phenylaminooxalylamino)phenyl]hex-4-ynoic acids, and to physiologically compatible salts thereof.
Structurally similar compounds have already been described in the prior art (see WO2009/039943A1), as has the use thereof for treatment of diabetes.
It was an object of the invention to provide compounds which display a therapeutically utilizable action. It was a further object to find novel compounds which activate the GPR40 receptor (G protein-coupled receptor) and are thus suitable for treatment of hyperglycemia and of diabetes.
More particularly, it was an object to find novel compounds which have distinctly elevated activity of the GPR40 receptor compared to the compounds known from WO02009/039943A1, and as a result have even better suitability for treatment of hyperglycemia and of diabetes. It was a further object to find novel compounds which have higher selectivity of action on the GPR40 receptor. It was a further object to find novel compounds which have minimum action on S1P1 (sphingosine-1 phosphate receptor 1), also known as S1PR1 or EDG1 receptor (Endothelial Differentiation Gene 1).
The invention therefore relates to compounds of the formula I
in which
R1 is H, F, CH3;
R2 is F, CH3;
R3 is F, CH3;
R4 is H, F, Cl, Br, (C1-C6)-alkyl, CF3;
and physiologically compatible salts thereof.
A further embodiment relates to compounds of the formula I in which one or more radicals have the following meanings:
R1 is H, F, CH3;
R2 is F, CH3;
R3 is F, CH3;
R4 is H, Cl, CH3, CF3;
and physiologically compatible salts thereof.
Owing to their higher water solubility compared to the starting or base compounds, pharmaceutically acceptable salts are particularly suitable for medical applications. These salts must have a pharmaceutically acceptable anion or cation.
Salts with a pharmaceutically unacceptable anion likewise form part of the scope of the invention as useful intermediates for the preparation or purification of pharmaceutically acceptable salts and/or for use in nontherapeutic, for example in vitro, applications.
The compounds of the invention may also exist in various polymorphous forms, for example as amorphous and crystalline polymorphous forms. All polymorphous forms of the inventive compounds are within the scope of the invention and are a further aspect of the invention.
The compound(s) of the formula I can also be administered in combination with further active ingredients.
The amount of a compound of the formula I required to achieve the desired biological effect depends on a number of factors, for example the specific compound chosen, the intended use, the mode of administration and the clinical condition of the patient. The daily dose is generally in the range from 0.3 mg to 100 mg (typically from 3 mg to 50 mg) per day per kilogram of body weight, for example 3-10 mg/kg/day. An intravenous dose may be, for example, in the range from 0.3 mg to 1.0 mg/kg, which can suitably be administered as infusion of 10 ng to 100 ng per kilogram per minute. Suitable infusion solutions for these purposes may contain, for example, 0.1 ng to 100 mg, typically 1 ng to 100 mg, per milliliter. Single doses may contain, for example, 1 mg to 10 g of the active ingredient. Thus, ampoules for injections may contain, for example, from 1 mg to 100 mg, and orally administrable single-dose formulations, for example tablets or capsules, may contain, for example, from 1.0 to 1000 mg, typically from 10 to 600 mg. For treatment of the abovementioned conditions, the compounds of the formula I themselves may be used as the compound, but they are preferably present with a compatible carrier in the form of a pharmaceutical composition. The carrier must of course be acceptable in the sense that it is compatible with the other constituents of the composition and is not harmful to the patient's health. The carrier may be a solid or a liquid or both and is preferably formulated with the compound as a single dose, for example as a tablet, which may contain from 0.05% to 95% by weight of the active ingredient. Other pharmaceutically active substances may likewise be present, including other compounds of formula I. The inventive pharmaceutical compositions can be produced by one of the known pharmaceutical methods, which essentially involve mixing the ingredients with pharmacologically acceptable carriers and/or excipients.
Inventive pharmaceutical compositions are those suitable for oral, rectal, topical, peroral (for example sublingual) and parenteral (for example subcutaneous, intramuscular, intradermal or intravenous) administration, although the most suitable mode of administration depends in each individual case on the nature and severity of the condition to be treated and on the nature of the compound of formula I used in each case. Coated formulations and coated slow-release formulations are also within the scope of the invention. Preference is given to acid- and gastric juice-resistant formulations. Suitable gastric juice-resistant coatings comprise cellulose acetate phthalate, polyvinyl acetate phthalate, hydroxypropylmethylcellulose phthalate and anionic polymers of methacrylic acid and methyl methacrylate.
Suitable pharmaceutical compounds for oral administration may be in the form of separate units, for example capsules, cachets, lozenges or tablets, each of which contains a defined amount of the compound of formula I; as powders or granules; as solution or suspension in an aqueous or nonaqueous liquid; or as an oil-in-water or water-in-oil emulsion. These compositions may, as already mentioned, be prepared by any suitable pharmaceutical method which includes a step in which the active ingredient and the carrier (which may consist of one or more additional ingredients) are brought into contact. The compositions are generally produced by uniform and homogeneous mixing of the active ingredient with a liquid and/or finely divided solid carrier, after which the product is shaped if necessary. For example, a tablet can be produced by compressing or molding a powder or granules of the compound, where appropriate with one or more additional ingredients. Compressed tablets can be produced by tableting the compound in free-flowing form such as, for example, a powder or granules, where appropriate mixed with a binder, glidant, inert diluent and/or one (or more) surfactant(s)/dispersant(s) in a suitable machine. Molded tablets can be produced by molding the pulverulent compound moistened with an inert liquid diluent in a suitable machine.
Pharmaceutical compositions suitable for peroral (sublingual) administration include lozenges which contain a compound of formula I with a flavoring, typically sucrose, and gum arabic or tragacanth, and pastilles which comprise the compound in an inert base such as gelatin and glycerol or sucrose and gum arabic.
Pharmaceutical compositions suitable for parenteral administration comprise preferably sterile aqueous preparations of a compound of formula I, which are preferably isotonic with the blood of the intended recipient. These preparations are preferably administered intravenously, although administration may also take place by subcutaneous, intramuscular or intradermal injection. These preparations can preferably be produced by mixing the compound with water and making the resulting solution sterile and isotonic with blood. Injectable compositions of the invention generally contain from 0.1 to 5% by weight of the active compound.
Pharmaceutical compositions suitable for rectal administration are preferably in the form of single-dose suppositories. These can be produced by mixing a compound of formula I with one or more conventional solid carriers, for example cocoa butter, and shaping the resulting mixture.
Pharmaceutical compositions suitable for topical use on the skin are preferably in the form of ointment, cream, lotion, paste, spray, aerosol or oil. Carriers which can be used are petrolatum, lanolin, polyethylene glycols, alcohols and combinations of two or more of these substances. The active ingredient is generally present in a concentration of 0.1 to 15% by weight of the composition, for example 0.5 to 2%.
Transdermal administration is also possible. Pharmaceutical compositions suitable for transdermal uses may be in the form of single patches which are suitable for long-term close contact with the patient's epidermis. Such patches suitably contain the active ingredient in an aqueous solution which is buffered where appropriate, dissolved and/or dispersed in an adhesive or dispersed in a polymer. A suitable active ingredient concentration is about 1% to 35%, preferably about 3% to 15%. A particular option is for the active ingredient to be released by electrotransport or iontophoresis as described, for example, in Pharmaceutical Research, 2(6): 318 (1986).
Further suitable active ingredients for the combination preparations are:
All antidiabetics mentioned in the Rote Liste 2010, chapter 12; all weight-reducing agents/appetite suppressants mentioned in the Rote Liste 2010, chapter 1; all diuretics mentioned in the Rote Liste 2010, chapter 36; all lipid-lowering agents mentioned in the Rote Liste 2010, chapter 58. They can be combined with the inventive compound of the formula I, especially for a synergistic improvement in action. The active ingredient combination can be administered either by separate administration of the active ingredients to the patient or in the form of combination products in which a plurality of active ingredients are present in one pharmaceutical preparation. When the active ingredients are administered by separate administration of the active ingredients, this can be done simultaneously or successively.

The examples adduced hereinafter serve to illustrate the invention, but without restricting it.
The efficacy of the compounds was tested as follows:
In Vitro FLIPR Assay with Recombinant Cells which Express the GPCR GPR40
Function-testing assays were performed by means of the FLIPR technique (“Fluorescence Imaging Plate Reader”, Molecular Devices Corp.). For this purpose, agonist-induced changes were determined in the intracellular concentration of Ca2+ in recombinant HEK293 cells which expressed the GPCR GPR40 (human).
For the studies, cells were sown into 96-well microtiter plates (60 000 cells/well) and left to grow overnight. The medium was removed and the cells were incubated in buffer which contained the fluorescent dye Fluo-4. After this loading with dye, the cells were washed, test substance was added and changes were measured in the intracellular Ca2+ concentration in the FLIPR instrument. Results were presented as the percentage change relative to the control (0%: no test substance added; 100%: 10 μM linoleic acid reference agonist added) and used for calculation of dose/efficacy curves, and the EC50 values were thus determined. The mean effective concentration (EC50) is the dose at which a half-maximum effect is observed.
It can be seen from table 1a that the compounds of the formula I (examples 1 to 5) activate the GPR40 receptor and are thus very suitable for treatment of hyperglycemia and of diabetes. The compounds of the formula I increase insulin excretion (see Itoh et al., Nature 2003, 422, 173-176). As a result of this specific mechanism of action, in the case of the compounds of the formula I, there is no risk of hypoglycemia in the course of treatment of type 2 diabetes patients, which is a distinct advantage over other active ingredients (e.g. sulfonylureas, such as glimepiride) which are likewise suitable for treatment of type 2 diabetes.
Prior art: Examples 26, 29 and 30 from WO2009/039943A1 have (according to table 2 on page 50) EC50 [μM] values of 0.2 μM, 0.1 μM and 0.1 μM.
Compared to these 3 compounds, the inventive compounds of the formula I are 50 to 500 times better in terms of efficacy.
The compounds of the formula I also activate the GPR40 receptor much better (see table 1a) than the corresponding reference examples from table 1b, which have the same empirical formula but different stereochemistry ((R) configuration).
The inventive compounds of the formula I always have, on the right-hand phenyl radical, meta (1,3) substitution by a specific —C(R1R2R3) substituent. The inventive compounds of the formula I always have the (S) configuration in the hexynoic acid side chain, whereas reference examples 6 to 10 always have an (R) configuration.
In a further test, the efficacy of the inventive compounds of the formula I on the S1P1 receptor was tested as follows.
The activation of the S1P1 receptor by the chemical compounds described in the present invention disclosure was determined via the S1P1 receptor-mediated release of intracellular calcium.
The CHO (chinese hamster ovarian) cells used here was stably overexpressed with the human S1P1 receptor (Flp-In System, Invitrogen). In order to amplify the signal transduction of the receptor in the direction of a cellular calcium response, a receptor modified at the C terminus was used, which contained the sequence of a modified G protein (Gαi4qi4) (WO 02/04665). The changes in intracellular calcium were determined by means of the calcium-sensitive fluorescent dye Fluo-4 (Invitrogen) in an appropriate plate reader (FLIPR, Molecular Dynamics).
To prepare the measurement, the cells were sown in 96-well plates (Becton Dickinson, Biocoat cellware, poly-D-lysine coated, #354640) with 40 000 cells per cavity between 18 and 24 hours before the calcium measurement. For the intervening period, the cells were cultivated in an incubator under 95% air humidity with 5% CO2 gas in a medium based on F-12 Glutamax (Gibco #31765), which was additionally supplemented with 1% (vol/vol) penicillin/streptomycin (PAN, #P06-07100), 10% (vol/vol) fetal calf serum (Hyclone charcoal/dextran treated FBS #SH30068) and Hygromycin B (final concentration 300 mg/l; Invitrogen, #10687-010).
For calcium measurement, the cells were laden beforehand with the acetoxymethyl ester derivative of the Fluo-4 dye (Fluo-4 AM, Invitrogen, #F14202) for 60 min. During the loading, which took place in the incubator under the conditions specified above, the cells were incubated with an HBSS buffer (Hanks' Balanced Salt Solution; Invitrogen #14065049) which had been supplemented with Fluo-4 AM (acetoxymethyl ester of Fluo-4; 2 μM; all figures are based on final concentrations), Pluronic® F-127 (0.05% vol/vol; Invitrogen, #P-3000 MP), HEPES (20 mM; Gibco #15630), probenecid (2.5 mM; Sigma #P-8761) and bovine serum albumin (0.05%; Sigma #A-6003). This buffer was finally adjusted to a pH of 7.5 with sodium hydroxide.
During the loading with Fluo-4, the acetoxymethyl ester is cleaved by intracellular esterases, and so there is intracellular accumulation of the dye. The loading of the cells was ended by washing three times (Tecan, Power Washer) with a wash buffer.
The wash buffer corresponded to the loading buffer described, except that, in contrast to the latter, it did not contain any Fluo-4 AM or any albumin. The wash buffer was also used for the later fluorescence-based calcium measurement. In this case, the laden and washed cells were stimulated with the compounds described (dissolved in DMSO; maximum final DMSO concentration 0.3%) in different concentrations. The positive control used was sphingosine-1 phosphate (final concentration 100 nM; Sigma #S9666), which had likewise been dissolved in DMSO. The addition of the pure DMSO solution in appropriate concentration does not lead to any significant cellular calcium response and served as the base control.
Some of the chemical compounds of the present invention disclosure showed an agonistic effect on the S1P1 receptor, which then led to a transient increase in intracellular calcium which was detected via the increase in Fluo-4 fluorescence over about 3 min. All measurements were conducted as triplicates, and the individual values thereof were averaged for further calculation. The percentage activation of the S1P1 receptor, which was caused in some cases by the compounds described, was calculated using the S1P-related calcium response (positive control). Before this calculation, a background correction took place, by subtracting the value of the base control (DMSO control) from all other fluorescence values detected.
Using the specific cellular fluorescence response at different concentrations of the compounds used, concentrations were calculated at which the cell response was at half maximum (EC50 value). In addition to the EC50 determinations, measurements were also conducted at a fixed concentration of the compounds described. Here too, the percentage activation of the receptor was calculated using the positive control (S1P, 100 nM) and base control (DMSO control).
Prior art: Examples 26, 29 and 30 from WO2009/039943A1 were likewise tested by the above test for their S1P1 receptor activation. This gave the following values:
Example 26 from WO2009/039943A1: EC50 (S1P1)=7 nM, 128% activation
Example 29 from WO2009/039943A1: EC50 (S1P1)=3 nM, 99% activation
Example 30 from WO02009/039943A1: 17% activation at 10 μM
The inventive compounds of the formula I virtually do not activate the S1P1 receptor.
Due to the activation of the GPR40 receptor, the compounds of the formula I can also be employed for treatment or prevention of further disorders.
The compounds of the present invention are especially suitable for treatment and/or prevention of:

The norephedrine salt of enantiomerically pure (S)-3-(4-aminophenyl)hex-4-ynoic acid can be characterized by its crystallographic parameters, which were determined by a single-crystal x-ray structure analysis.
The compound crystallizes in the chiral space group P21 with one molecule and one norephedrine molecule per asymmetric unit (Z=2). The chiral center of the molecule was determined to be S-configured.
