The present invention relates to a 4-aminomethylbenzoic acid derivative having heme-independent activation effect for soluble guanylate cyclase (sGC), and a pharmaceutical agent containing the same.
Soluble guanylate cyclase (sGC) is an enzyme producing cyclic guanosine monophosphate (cGMP) from guanosine triphosphate (GTP), and consists of a dimer of α subunit and β subunit. The β subunit is bonded to heme, and usually has an inactive structure, where the iron coordinated in the heme and the 105th histidine residue interact with each other. Nitrogen monoxide (NO) is known as a major sGC stimulating factor in vivo, and interacts with the heme iron present in the β subunit of sGC, and dissociate the interaction of the heme iron and the histidine residue of the β subunit whereby to transfer sGC to an activated form. cGMP produced by the activated sGC subsequently activates, for example, protein kinase or ion channel, and plays various roles such as relaxation of vascular smooth muscles, suppression of platelet activation, suppression of cell growth and neurotransmission of smell. Under pathological conditions, decline of sGC activity and decomposition of sGC occur, which leads to suppression of cGMPs, contraction of vascular smooth muscle, activation of platelet or cell growth, and eventually may be a cause for hypertension, pulmonary hypertension, heart failure, endothelial dysfunction, atherosclerosis, a peripheral vascular disease, angina pectoris, thrombosis, myocardial infarction, erectile dysfunction or renal dysfunction (Non Patent Documents 1 and 2).
A nitrate agent such as nitroglycerin is widely used clinically in order to activate sGC. They supply exogenous NO whereby to cause activation of sGC, and express pharmacological actions. However, the nitrate agents are known to have a tolerance in addition to side effects, which is a serious defect of this pharmaceutical agent. Suggested is that the phenomenon of tolerance to nitrate agent is due to a mechanism which is unassociated with sGC such as decline of the activity of mitochondria aldehyde dehydrogenase that is involved in release of NO (Non Patent Document 3). Thus, a compound directly activating sGC regardless of the release of NO can avoid the tolerance. In addition, under aging or pathological conditions such as, hypertension, diabetes and hyperlipidemia, it is suggested that oxidation of heme iron and decomposition of heme increase due to oxidative stress, and NO cannot interact with heme, and sufficient activation of sGC cannot be expected (Non Patent Document 4). As another sGC stimulating agent than NO, a direct sGC stimulating agent represented by Riociguat (Patent Document 1) is known, which is dependent on heme. It is shown that although these compounds activate sGC independently from NO, these compounds cannot sufficiently exhibit sGC activation ability under the oxidation condition of heme iron (Non Patent Document 5). Accordingly, it is considered that a compound having direct sGC activation effect without dependence on the oxidation state of heme differently from NO or Riociguat, is effective for treating or preventing various diseases such as hypertension, pulmonary hypertension, heart failure, endothelial dysfunction, atherosclerosis, a peripheral vascular disease, angina pectoris, thrombosis, myocardial infarction, erectile dysfunction and renal dysfunction.
As the compound having direct sGC activation effect without dependence on the oxidation state of heme, disclosed are Cinaciguat and related derivatives in Patent Document 2, pyrazole and triazole derivatives in Patent Document 3, 2,6-disubstituted pyridine derivatives in Patent Document 4, and heterocycle derivatives in Patent Document 5.

The compound of the present invention was tested for the sGC activation effect in accordance with the Test Examples described below.
For the assay, chinese hamster ovary cells (CHO-K1 cells) stably expressing both α and β subunits of human sGC and mouse cyclic nucleotide-gated channel (CNGA2) were used.
The CHO-K1 cells stably expressing human sGC and mouse CNGA2 was cultured at 37° C. on F-12 medium containing 10% (v/v) fetal bovine serum (FBS), penicillin (100 U/mL), streptomycin (100 μg/mL), G418 (250 μg/mL) and Zeocin (250 μg/mL). The cells were suspended in a culture medium, seeded on a 96 well plate, and then cultured at 37° C. for 24 hours. The cells were washed with Assay buffer 1 (140 mmol/L sodium chloride, 5 mmol/L potassium chloride, 0.5 mmol/L magnesium chloride, 0.01 mmol/L calcium chloride, 10 mmol/L glucose, 0.4 mmol/L magnesium sulfate, 10 mmol/L 4-(2-hydroxyethyl)piperazin-1-ylethanesulfonic acid and 125 μmol/L sulfinpyrazone, pH 7.4), and then added a solution containing Fura2-AM, a fluorescent Ca2+ indicator, in Assay buffer 1 at 5 mol/L concentration thereto as an indicator solution, and cultured at 37° C. for 60 minutes. The culture medium was removed, and the cells were washed with Assay buffer 1, and then added a solution containing the test compound thereto, and cultured at room temperature for 10 minutes. A plate was placed onto a fluorometer (FlexStation II, Molecular Devices), and the intracellular calcium concentration was determined as the ratio of fluorescent intensity, obtained from measurement using 340 nm and 380 nm as excitation wavelength and 510 nm as detection wavelength.
The solution of the test compound was prepared by dissolving each test compound in DMSO at 10 mmol/L, and then diluting the solution for the test concentration at 10 μmol/L with Assay buffer (140 mmol/L sodium chloride, 5 mmol/L potassium chloride, 0.5 mmol/L magnesium chloride, 1 mmol/L calcium chloride, 10 mmol/L glucose, 0.4 mmol/L magnesium sulfate, 10 mmol/L 4-(2-hydroxyethyl)piperazin-1-ylethanesulfonic acid, 125 mol/L sulfinpyrazone, 100 μmol/L isobutyl methyl xanthine, and 10 μmol/L 1H-[1,2,4]-oxadiazol[4,3-a]quinoxaline-1-one (hereinafter, ODQ), pH 7.4). The evaluation in the absence of ODQ was performed similarly, except that ODQ was not added to Assay buffer 2. As a control solution, a DMSO solution was used instead of the test compound solution.
The activity of the test compound defined as the increase rate of the sGC activity (%) at the time of adding the solution of the test compound with respect to the sGC activity at the time of adding the control solution, was calculated by dividing the fluorescent intensity ratio at the time of adding the test compound by the fluorescent intensity ratio of the control solution, and subtracting the sGC activity at the time of adding the control solution (100%).
The assay results are shown in Table 60.
If sGC is activated in this assay, intracellular cGMP concentration increases and accordingly intracellular Ca2+ concentration is increased by opening of CNGA2. Accordingly, sGC activation can be measured as the change of Ca2+ concentration in the cell. ODQ is a specific oxidant for a heme-binding iron atom, and the iron atom of heme is oxidated in the presence of ODQ, and thus heme-dependent sGC activation does not occur. Accordingly, it is possible to evaluate maximum sGC activation effect including heme-dependent activation in the absence of ODQ, and also possible to evaluate heme independent sGC activation effect in the presence of ODQ. Meanwhile, in any case using any test compound (including using Cinaciguat as Comparative Example), the sGC activity showed the constant maximum value at 10 μmol/L or higher concentration in the presence and absence of ODQ. According to this result, the activity value at 10 μmol/L was defined as the ability for maximizing sGC activity (Emax) of each test compound.
As shown in Table 60, it was revealed that any compound of the present invention remarkably increases the sGC activity in the presence of ODQ, and is a heme-independent, direct sGC activator. In addition, it was revealed that the compound of the present invention shows higher Emax in comparison to Cinaciguat in either presence or absence of ODQ, and shows more excellent sGC activation effect in comparison to Cinaciguat.
A representative compound of the present invention was assayed for blood vessel relaxation activity according to the Test Example described below. In the assay, a rat (male, SD) was phlebotomized from the upper part of the heart under pentobarbital (30 mg/kg) anesthesia, and the ventral aorta was extracted. The connective tissue adhering around the blood vessel in the ventral aorta was removed in an ice-cooled Krebs-Henseleit solution (KH solution) (118 mmol/L sodium chloride, 4.7 mmol/L potassium chloride, 1.2 mmol/L magnesium sulfate, 1.2 mmol/L potassium dihydrogenphosphate, 25 mmol/L sodium hydrogen carbonate, 2.5 mmol/L calcium chloride and 10 mmol/L glucose, pH 7.4). Then, a ring specimen of 2 mm length was prepared, and fixed in 5 mL organ bath filled with the KH solution. The KH solution was maintained at 37° C., and a mixed gas of 95% O2 and 5% CO2 was ventilated. The specimen was stabilized with 1 g of the resting tension for 1 hour. In the meantime, the KH solution was exchanged twice. The tension of the specimen was recorded with a multichannel recorder through a pickup and an amplifier. After stabilization of the specimen, contraction was induced with 1 μmol/L phenylephrine (Phe), and cumulative administration of each compound (0.001, 0.01, 0.03, 0.1, 0.3, 1, 3, 10, 30, 100, 1000, 10000 nmol/L) was carried out. In the case of evaluation at the time of containing ODQ, 10 μmol/L ODQ was added 10 minutes before administration of Phe, and similar evaluation was performed.
EC50 value was calculated by Four-parameter Logistic Model with Assay Explorer (Accelrys, Inc.). Meanwhile, the solution of the test compound was prepared by dissolving the compound in DMSO to prepare solutions having the concentration of each test compound 1000 times higher than the final concentration.
The assay results are shown in Table 61.
As shown in Table 61, it was revealed that any compound of the present invention shows lower EC50 ratio than Cinaciguat, and is heme-independent in comparison to Cinaciguat.
A 4-aminomethylbenzoic acid derivative, a pharmaceutically acceptable salt thereof or a solvate thereof of the present invention has heme-independent excellent sGC activation effect, and thus is useful as an agent for treating or preventing various diseases involving soluble guanylate cyclase such as, for example, heart failure, hypertension, pulmonary hypertension or an ischemic heart disease.
