Significantly, according to the best knowledge of the present inventors, none of the compounds of the prior art which are structurally similar to the novel compounds of the present invention are known in the prior art as analgesics or immunostimulants.
The present invention is directed to compounds of Formula 1
The present invention is also directed to the compounds of Formula 2
The present invention is also directed to pharmaceutical compositions containing the above-noted novel compound to be used as analgesics and/or immunostimulants in mammals, and to methods of using said pharmaceutical compositions as analgesics or immunostimulants.
A general description of the compounds of the invention is provided in the Summary Section of the present application for patent. Most compounds of the invention contain one or more asymmetric centers, such that the compounds may exist in enantiomeric as well as in diastereomeric forms. In fact, most of the compounds of the present invention have two asymmetric carbons adjacent to one another and therefore can exist in erythro or threo form, with each of these two forms having dextrorotatory (D) or levorotary (L) enantiomers. Although the threo form is generally preferred in accordance with the present invention for analgesic activity, unless it is specifically noted otherwise, the scope of the present invention includes all enantiomers, diastereomers and diastereomeric or racemic mixtures. In light of the foregoing, it should be clearly understood that the designation “DL” or “(+/−)” or “(±)” in this application includes the pure dextrorotatory enantiomer, the pure levorotatory enantiomer and all racemic mixtures, including mixtures where the two enantiomers are present in equal or in unequal proportions. Moreover, for simplicity sake in many of the structural formulas, such as in the example below, only one of the enantiomers is actually shown but when the designation “DL” or “(+/−)” or or “(±)” appears it also includes the enantiomeric form (mirror image) of the structure actually shown in the formula.
For Example:
Thus, in the example above, only one enantiomer is shown, but because the designation “DL” (or or “(+/−)” or “(±)”) appears below the formula, its optical isomer
In the case of some compounds of the present invention one enantiomer of the threo, and in some cases of the erythro, enantiomers is significantly more active as an analgesic than the other enantiomer of the same pair. For this reason the isolated enantiomer which is significantly more active than the other is considered a novel and inventive composition even if the racemic mixture or the other opposite enantiomer of the same compound have already been described in the prior art.
Some of the novel compounds of the present invention contain three or more asymmetric centers. An example is the following compound
Keeping the foregoing examples in mind the reader one of ordinary skill in the art should readily understand the scope of each described example, although in a broad sense all isomers, enantiomers and racemic mixtures are within the scope of the invention.
The term “alkyl” in the general description and definition of the compounds includes straight chain as well as branch-chained alkyl groups.
Generally speaking the compounds of the invention may form salts with pharmaceutically acceptable acids or bases, and such pharmaceutically acceptable salts of the compounds of Formula 1 and of Formula 2 are also within the scope of the invention.
Referring now to the novel compounds of Formula 1, in a class of preferred compounds of the invention none of the W, X and Y groups is a heteroatom. Within this class, compounds are preferred where the sum of m, n and q is 3 and the aromatic group is unsubstituted or substituted with one or more halogen, alkyl of 1 to 6 carbons, or halogen substituted alkyl of 1 to 6 carbons.

Referring now to the variables R1 and R2 in the compounds of Formula 1, compounds are preferred in accordance with the invention where R1 and R2 jointly form a pyrrolidine, a 3-fluoro or a 3,3-difluoro or an 3-hydroxy substituted pyrrolidine, a morpholine, a thiomorpholine, a piperazine, an alkyl substituted piperazine where the alkyl group has 1 to 6 carbons, an azetidine, a tetrahydrothiazole, an indoline, or a 2H-pyrrol ring or R1 and R2 are two alkyl groups of 1 to 3 carbons.
Referring now to the novel compounds of Formula 2, with respect to the variables W, X, Y, m, n, q, R1, R2, R5, R6, R3 compounds are gerenerally preferred in which these variables have the same preferences as in compounds of Formula 1.
With respect to R9 and R10, compounds are generally preferred where R9 and R10 are both hydrogen, where one of these two variables is hydroxy and the other is alkyl of 1 to 6 carbons, where the R9 and R10 groups jointly form an NOR11 group, and where R9 is hydrogen, the dashed line between carbons 2 and 3 represent a double bond and R10 does not exist. With respect to R11 compounds of Formula 2 are preferred where R11 is H, or COR12 where R12 is alkyl of 1 to 3 carbons.

The presently most preferred novel compounds of the invention are disclosed with their structural formulas in the ensuing Tables and or description, showing activity of exemplary compounds relevant to their ability to act as analgesics and/or immunostimulants.
The novel compounds of the invention have analgesic and/or immunostimulant activity in mammals. Some of the compounds described in the introductory section which per se are known in the art, have been discovered by the present inventors to also have analgesic effect in mammals. To the best of the knowledge of the present inventors the analgesic or immunostimulant biological activity of the known compounds was not known before the present discovery.
An art-accepted model or assay for measuring an analgesic effect of a compound in chronic pain (in particular peripheral neuropathy) is the model known as Kim and Chung 1992, Pain 150, pp 355-363 (Chung model). This model involves the surgical ligation of the L5 (and optionally the L6) spinal nerves on one side in experimental animals. Rats recovering from the surgery gain weight and display a level of general activity similar to that of normal rats. However, these rats develop abnormalities of the foot, wherein the hindpaw is moderately everted and the toes are held together. More importantly, the hindpaw on the side affected by the surgery appears to become sensitive to low-threshold mechanical stimuli and will perceive pain instead of the faint sensation of touch. This sensitivity to normally non-painful touch, called “tactile allodynia”, develops within the first week after surgery and lasts for at least two months. The allodynia response includes lifting the affected hindpaw to escape from the stimulus, licking the paw and holding it in the air for many seconds. None of these responses is normally seen in the control group.
To produce the tactile allodynia, rats are anesthetized before surgery. The surgical site is shaved and prepared either with betadine or Novacaine. Incision is made from the thoracic vertebra XIII down toward the sacrum. Muscle tissue is separated from the spinal vertebra (left side) at the L4-S2 levels. The L6 vertebra is located and the transverse process is carefully removed with a small rongeur to expose the L4-L6 spinal nerves. The L5 and L6 spinal nerves are isolated and tightly ligated with 6-0 silk thread. The same procedure is done on the right side as a control, except no ligation of the spinal nerves is performed.
After a complete hemostasis is confirmed, the wounds are sutured. A small amount of antibiotic ointment is applied to the incised area, and the rat is transferred to the recovery plastic cage under a regulated heat-temperature lamp.
On the day of the experiment, at least seven days after the surgery, typically six rats per test group are administered the test drugs by intraperitoneal (i.p.) injection or oral gavage (p.o.). For i.p. administration, the compounds are formulated in H2O and given in a volume of 1 ml/kg body weight by injecting into the intraperitoneal cavity. For p.o. administration, the compounds are formulated in H2O and given in a volume of 1 ml/kg body weight using an 18-gauge, 3 inch gavage needle that is slowly inserted through the esophagus into the stomach.
Tactile allodynia is assessed via von Frey hairs, which are a series of fine hairs with incremental differences in stiffness. Rats are placed in a plastic cage with a wire mesh bottom and allowed to acclimate for approximately 30 minutes. To establish the pre-drug baseline, the von Frey hairs are applied perpendicularly through the mesh to the mid-plantar region of the rats' hindpaw with sufficient force to cause slight buckling and held for 6-8 seconds. The applied force has been calculated to range from 0.41 to 15.1 grams. If the paw is sharply withdrawn, it is considered a positive response. A normal animal will not respond to stimuli in this range, but a surgically ligated paw will be withdrawn in response to a 1-2 gram hair. The 50% paw withdrawal threshold is determined using the method of Dixon, W. J., Ann. Rev. Pharmacol. Toxicol. 20:441-462 (1980) hereby incorporated by reference. Tactile allodynia is measured prior to and 15, 30, and 60 minutes after drug administration. The post-drug threshold is compared to the pre-drug threshold and the percent reversal of tactile sensitivity is calculated based on a normal threshold of 15.1 grams.
Table 1 below indicates the degree of pain reversal obtained in the Chung model with exemplary compounds of the invention. The intraperitonial (i.p.) and/or intravenous (iv) administration of the compounds was in doses ranging from 1 μg/kg to 300 μg/kg or 3 mg/kg PO and the peak percentage of reversal of allodynia was measured at 15, 30 or 60 minutes after administration, as is indicated in the table. Data are expressed as the highest % allodynia reversal (out of 3 time points: 15 min, 30 min, or 60 min. post-drug) with a minimum of a 20% allodynia reversal in the rat Chung model. Comparisons between groups (drug treated vs. saline treated) were made using a two-tailed, 2-sample, unpaired t-test. Compounds that are not shown which were not statistically analgesic following an IP dose of 300 ug/kg, but may still be analgesic. Compounds that do not exhibit significant analgesia at 100 mg/kg are not considered to be analgesic.
An art accepted method for measuring immuno stimulation comprises systemic administration of compounds to assay for the ability to stimulate the immune system, possibly due to nonspecific upregulation of the hemolymphoreticular system. This upregulation could result in increased numbers of lymphocytes of both T- and B-cell lineage. Although applicant does not wish to be bound by the biological theory of the immunostimulation, actual immunostimulatory efficacy of the compounds can be demonstrated in vivo by assaying splenic size in response to administration of the test compound to laboratory test species rats. Animals dosed at 200 mg/kg of Compound 22 of this invention exhibited a twentyfive percent increase in spleen size which demonstrates immunostimulatory potential of the compound. Generally speaking any compound that exhibits splenic enlargement following dosing of 200 mg/kg or less may be considered an immunostimulant.
Modes of Administration:
The compounds of the invention may be administered at pharmaceutically effective dosages. Such dosages are normally the minimum dose necessary to achieve the desired therapeutic effect; in the treatment of chromic pain, this amount would be roughly that necessary to reduce the discomfort caused by the pain to tolerable levels. For human adults such doses generally will be in the range 0.1-5000 mg/day; more preferably in the range 1 to 3000 mg/day, still more preferably in the range of 10 mg to 1000 mg/day. However, the actual amount of the compound to be administered in any given case will be determined by a physician taking into account the relevant circumstances, such as the severity of the pain, the age and weight of the patient, the patient's general physical condition, the cause of the pain, and the route of administration.
The compounds are useful in the treatment of pain in a mammal; particularly a human being. Preferably, the patient will be given the compound orally in any acceptable form, such as a tablet, liquid, capsule, powder and the like. However, other routes may be desirable or necessary, particularly if the patient suffers from nausea. Such other routes may include, without exception, transdermal, intraperitonial, parenteral, subcutaneous, intranasal, intrathecal, intramuscular, intravenous and intrarectal modes of delivery. Another aspect of the invention is drawn to therapeutic compositions comprising the novel compounds of the invention and pharmaceutically acceptable salts of these compounds and a pharmaceutically acceptable excipient. Such an excipient may be a carrier or a diluent; this is usually mixed with the active compound, or permitted to dilute or enclose the active compound. If a diluent, the carrier may be solid, semi-solid, or liquid material that acts as an excipient or vehicle for the active compound. The formulations may also include wetting agents, emulsifying agents, preserving agents, sweetening agents, and/or flavoring agents. If used as in an ophthalmic or infusion format, the formulation will usually contain one or more salt to influence the osmotic pressure of the formulation.
In another aspect, the invention is directed to methods for the treatment of pain, particularly chronic pain, through the administration of one or more of the novel or otherwise known compounds of the invention, or of pharmaceutically acceptable salts thereof to a mammal in need thereof. As indicated above, the compound will usually be formulated in a form consistent with the desired mode of delivery.
Compounds of the invention which are immunostimulants are administered subject to the same basic principles as the compounds having analgesic activity, in doses which are best determined on a case-by-case and/or species-by-species and, in case of humans, at times on a patient-by-patient basis. Generally speaking the effective dose will be in the range of 10 μg/kg to 200 mg/kg.
In this regard it is noted that the compounds of the threo configuration are more likely to have the analgesic activity, compounds of the erythro configuration are more likely to have immunostimulant activity, and among the erythro compounds those with an S configuration at carbon 2 of the propionic acid moiety are likely to have stronger immuno stimulant activity.
The compound of the invention can be synthesized by utilizing the synthetic methods described in the experimental below, or such modifications of the below described experimental methods which will become readily apparent to those skilled in the art in light of the present disclosure.
General
1H NMR spectra were recorded at ambient temperature with an Avance 300 (Bruker) spectrometer. The compounds were analyzed by reverse phase high performance liquid chromatography (HPLC) using a Waters Autopurification System equipped with a Waters 2525 Pump, a Waters 2696 photodiode array detector, and a XTerra column (Part. No. 186000482, 5 μm, C18, 4.5×50 mm).
The HPLC method used was a gradient of 5% solvent B to 100% in 7 min. Solvent A was H2O with 0.05% TFA and solvent B was CH3CN with 0.05% TFA (Method A).
Melting points were measured with a Büchi B-545 melting point apparatus and were uncorrected. To isolate reaction products the solvent were removed by evaporation using a vacuum rotatory evaporator, the water bath temperature not exceeding 40° C.
Absolute configuration of compounds of the invention, where applicable, can generally speaking be determined in accordance with methods known in the state of the art, such as X-ray christallography. Compounds 203 and 204 are mentioned as examples for which the absolute configurations were determined by X-ray christallography analysis of the corresponding (1S)-camphanylamide D-(10) camphorsulfonic acid salt. As a result Compound 204 was assigned (2S,3R). Its enantiomer, Compound 203 was assigned by default the (2R,3S) absolute configuration.
General Synthetic Routes
The compound of the invention can be synthesized by utilizing the synthetic methods described in a general sense immediately below and in more detail in the experimental section of the present application, or by such modifications of the below described experimental methods which will become readily apparent to those skilled in the art in light of the present disclosure.
A general synthetic route to the novel compounds of the invention which are amides of substituted (+/−)-threo-3-hydroxy-2-aminopropionic acid of the Generalized Structure 1 is described below.
In General Structure 1, for the sake of simplicity of description R* substantially corresponds to the 5, 6, or 7 membered ring structure on the left side of Formula 1 (as the formula is depicted in the Summary and in the instant claims) and R** substantially corresponds to the R1 groups in Formula 1.
Thus, in accordance with General Scheme 1, methyl isocyanoacetate (or ethyl isocyanoacetate available commercially) is reacted with an “amine” which includes the R** groups to provide the 2-isocyanoacetic acid amide derivative shown in the general scheme. Typical examples for the amines used in the reaction are pyrrolidine, piperidine, azetidine, morpholine, 2,5-dihydro-1H-pyrrole, dialkylamines such as diethylamine, 3-fluoro-, 3,3-difluoro or 3-hydroxy substituted pyrrolidines. Specific examples of these “amines” abound in the experimental description. The 2-isocyanoacetic acid amide derivative is then reacted in the presence of base (such as KOH) with an “aldehyde” which includes the R* group to provide a trans “oxazoline” with high diastereoselectivity (trans:cis ratios generally >97:3) as shown in the general reaction scheme 1. The trans oxazoline is then treated with a strong acid, such as HCl, to open the ring and to provide the threo-3-substituted-3-hydroxy-2-amino-propionic acid amides (with threo:erythro ratios generally >97:3) of the invention as shown in General Scheme 1.
Compounds of Formula 1 where the amino group of formula NH(R**)2 is a weaker nucleophile, such as indoline, thiomorpholine and the like, can be made as illustrated in Reaction Scheme 2 for the synthesis of (±)-threo-2-amino-3-hydroxy-1-(indolin-1-yl)-3-(pyridin-4-yl)propan-1-one dihydrochloride Compound 243 and (±)-threo-2-amino-3-hydroxy-1-(thiazolidin-3-yl)-3-(pyridin-4-yl)propan-1-one dihydrochloride Compound 242.
In Reaction Scheme 2 EDCl stands for 1-(3-dimethylaminopropyl)-ethylcarbodiimide hydrochloride; HOBT stands for 1-hydroxybenzotriazole; BOC2O stands for di-t-butyl-dicarbonate and TEA stands for triethylamine.
As it will be readily understood by those skilled in the art, for a more general synthetic route, such as the one shown in Reaction Scheme 2, the 4-pyridyl group can be substituted with an R* group (as defined in connection with Scheme 1) and the indoline can be substituted with other weak nucleophilic amines of the formula NH(R**)2 (R** defined as in connection with Reaction Scheme 1) to provide other compounds of Formula 1 analogous to compounds 242 and 243.
Isomerically pure and/or enantiomerically pure compounds and further derivatives of the 3-substituted-3-hydroxy-2-amino-propionic acid amides are obtained by separation techniques and reactions which, per se, are well known to the synthetic chemist. The experimental section of the present invention abounds in examples of such separation techniques and reactions. Some of the typical separation techniques and reactions are generally described below.
Separation of threo and erythro isomers, when both are formed in the reactions leading to the compounds of the invention, can typically be separated by chromatographic methods. The more abundantly formed threo isomers can also be converted into the erythro isomers by oxidizing to the ketone level the hydroxyl group in the 3 position of the propanoic acid moiety and subsequently reducing the resulting ketone to the hydroxyl level. (See, for example, the preparation of Compound 219).
Separation of enantiomeric mixtures can be performed on Chiralpack columns which are well known in the art. (See, for example, the preparation of Compound 204).
The amino function in the 2-position of the propanoic acid moiety is, generally speaking, more reactive towards acylation and carbamoylation than the hydroxyl group in the 3 position. Therefore, acylated derivatives of the 2-amino function can be prepared by using acyl chlorides such as acetyl chloride and hexanoyl chloride. (See, Method G and the preparation of Compound 51). Carbamate derivatives of the 2-amino function can be obtained by using chloroformates, such as benzylchloroformate. (See, for example, the preparation of Compound 58). The tertiary butyl carbamoyl function can also serve as a removable protecting group of the 2-amino function. (see for example the preparation of Compounds 219 and 224). When the 2-amino function of the compounds of the invention is already acylated or bears a carbamoyl group, then the 3-hydroxy group of the propanoic acid moiety can be subjected to acylation by reagents such as acetic anhydride. (See for example the preparation of Compound 217).
Alkylation of the 2-amino function is readily performed by condensing the compound bearing the 2—NH2 group with an aldehyde to obtain a Schiff base intermediate which can be reduced, without isolation, to provide the N-alkyl, arylalkyl or heteroaryl-alkyl compound. The procedure described for preparing Compound 234 can be generalized to make compounds of the invention where the 2-amino function bears an aryl(hydroxy)alkyl or heteroaryl(hydroxy)alkyl group.
Several compounds of the invention of Formula 2 can be obtained by derivatization of compounds of Formula 1, or by such modification of the synthetic routes leading to compounds of Formula 1 which will become readily apparent to those skilled in the art in light of the present disclosure. For example, compounds of Formula 2 where R9 is OH or OR11 and R10 is alkyl can be made by using a “ketone” bearing the R10 group, instead of the “aldehyde” in General Reaction Scheme 1.
Compounds of Formula 2 where the R9 and R10 groups jointly form an oxime (NOH) group can be obtained by oxidizing the 3-hydroxyl group of the propanoic acid moiety to the ketone stage and reacting the resulting ketone with hydroxylamine.
Another general synthetic route for making several compounds of Formula 2 is illustrated in Synthetic Scheme 3 adapted for synthesizing (R)-2-amino-3-(pyridin-4-yl)-1-(pyrrolidin-1-yl)propan-1-one dihydrochloride, Compound 236 of the present invention.
As it will be readily understood by those skilled in the art, for a more general synthetic route, such as the one shown in Reaction Shyntetic Scheme 3, the 4-pyridyl group can be substituted with an R* group (as defined in connection with Scheme 1) and the pyrrolidine can be substituted with amines of the formula NH(R**)2 (R** defined as in connection with Reaction Scheme 1) to provide other compounds of Formula 2 analogous to compound 236 or to its enantiomer (S)-2-amino-3-(pyridin-4-yl)-1-(pyrrolidin-1-yl)propan-1-one dihydrochloride Compound 240.

The organic phase was dried over MgSO4 and evaporated to afford 163 mg (70%) of the corresponding free base of Compound 214.
Analytical Chiral Separation:
20 μL of a 1 mg/mL solution of Compound 214 were injected on Chiralpak AD: flow-rate=1 mL/min, temperature=25° C., mobile phase hexane:ethanol=7:3, detection on UW 220 nm and on polarimeter, first eluted diastereoisomer Compound 248 Rt1(−)=20.94 min, second eluted diastereoisomer Rt2(+)=24.77 min, k1(−)=5.93, k2(+)=7.20, α=1.21 and resolution Rs=1.21. The integration of the UV signal gives 42% for the first diastereoisomer compound 248 and 58% for the second Compound 249 (the UV response is different for the two diastereoisomers).
Semi-Preparative Chiral Separation:
170 mg of the free base of Compound 214 were dissolved in 6 mL of ethanol, and 30 μL of this solution were injected every 9 min on Chiralpak AD-H, flow-rate=2 mL/min, mobile phase hexane:ethanol=7:3, detection on UV 220 nm. 195 successive injections were done. The two main fractions were identified on UV and collected in two different flasks. The solvent was removed in vacuo at 30° C. The resulting solid was dissolved in 50 mL of CH2Cl2 and then filtered on a 0.45 μm millipore membrane. After evaporation of CH2Cl2, the solid was dissolved in 50 mL of methanol and then filtered. For the free base of the first diastereoisomer, a new series of injections was needed to remove two UV-visible impurities collected in the same flask: in the same chromatographic conditions, 30 injections of 100 μL of a 25 mg/mL solution were made every 20 min. The salts Compound 248 and Compound 249 were regenerated according to the same procedure reported for Compound 203 and Compound 204.
