Description

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION

1. Field of the Invention

The present invention relates generally to the synthesis of heterocyclic compounds based on the 4-substituted quinoline ring. More specifically, the invention provides novel 4-substituted quinolines as well as novel libraries comprised of such compounds.

2. Background Information

The process of discovering new therapeutically active compounds for a given indication involves the screening of all compounds from available compound collections. From the compounds tested one or more structure(s) is selected as a promising lead. A large number of related analogs are then synthesized in order to develop a structure-activity relationship and select one or more optimal compounds. With traditional one-at-a-time synthesis and biological testing of analogs, this optimization process is long and labor intensive. Adding significant numbers of new structures to the compound collections used in the initial screening step of the discovery and optimization process cannot be accomplished with traditional one-at-a-time synthesis methods, except over a time frame of months or even years. Faster methods are needed that allow for the preparation of up to thousands of related compounds in a matter of days or a few weeks. This need is particularly evident when it comes to synthesizing more complex compounds, such as 4-substituted quinolines.

Solid-phase techniques for the synthesis of peptides have been extensively developed and combinatorial libraries of peptides have been generated with great success. During the past four years there has been substantial development of chemically synthesized combinatorial libraries (SCLs) made up of peptides. The preparation and use of synthetic peptide combinatorial libraries has been described, for example, by Dooley in U.S. Pat. No. 5,367,053, Huebner in U.S. Pat. No. 5,182,366, Appel et al. in WO PCT 92/09300, Geysen in published European Patent Application 0 138 855 and Pirrung in U.S. Pat. No. 5,143,854. Such SCLs provide the efficient synthesis of an extraordinary number of various peptides in such libraries and the rapid screening of the library which identifies lead pharmaceutical peptides.

Combinatorial approaches have recently been extended to “organic,” or non-peptide, libraries. The organic libraries to the present, however, are of limited diversity and generally relate to peptidomimetic compounds; in other words, organic molecules that retain peptide chain pharmacophore groups similar to those present in the corresponding peptide.

Combinatorial chemical methods have been applied to a limited number of heterocyclic compounds, as described, for example, in U.S. Pat. No. 5,288,514 to Ellman, U.S. Pat. No. 5,324,483 to Cody et al. and Goff and Zuckermann, J. Org. Chem., 60:5748-5749 (1995)). Additionally, there is U.S. Pat. No. 5,549,974 to Holmes and U.S. Pat. No. 5,506,337 to Summerton and Weller. The patent application WO 94/08051 discloses the reaction of ether-linked aldehyde-derived imines with dihydrofuran under Lewis acid catalysis. The library, however, was limited to 108 compounds. However, the heterocyclic libraries to date contain compounds of limited diversity and complexity.

Leeson et al., J. Med. Chem., 35:1954 (1992), reported related tetrahydroquinolines as N-methyl-D-aspartate (NMDA) receptor site antagonists wherein the 2-position was by necessity a carboxy group, the 4position an acylated amine and two chlorine atoms present in the aromatic ring. In the one example employing N-vinylpyrrolidinone, Leeson et al. were limited to a stepwise procedure that required boron trifluoride as condensation agent. Mellor et al., Tetrahedron Letters 32:7103 (1991), described the use of 300 mole percent styrenes and formaldehyde with electron deficient anilines to prepare tetrahydroquinolines in modest yield but not free of the uncyclized adduct. This was modestly extended in Mellor and Merriman, Tetrahedron, 51:6115 (1995) but could not be halted at the single adduct stage except for electron withdrawn anilines.

Substituent limitations have been overcome for mixtures of peptides and peptidomimetics through the use of solid phase techniques versus solution-phase. An important step in the development of solid-phase techniques was the discovery of methods to identify active individual compounds from soluble mixtures of large numbers of compounds, as described, for example, by Rutter in U.S. Pat. No. 5,010,175 and Simon in WO PCT 91/19735. These soluble mixture methods, however, have rarely been applied to the syntheses of complex heterocyclic structures. There exists a need to develop more complex “organic” libraries based on heterocyclic medicinal compounds which would require less time and effort in the synthesis and testing needed to bring an organic pharmaceutical product to fruition. In short, improved methods for generating therapeutically useful heterocyclic compounds, such as -4-substituted quinoline derivatives, are desired.

This invention satisfies these needs and provides related advantages as well. The present invention overcomes the known limitations to classical organic synthesis of -4-substituted quinolines and as well as the shortcomings of combinatorial chemistry with heterocycles. The present invention combines the techniques of solid-phase synthesis of heterocycles and the general techniques of synthesis of combinatorial libraries to prepare new 4-substituted quinoline compounds.

The species of amino-protecting group employed is not critical so long as the derivatized amino group is stable to the conditions of the subsequent reaction(s) and can be removed at the appropriate point without disrupting the remainder of the compounds. Preferred amino-protecting groups are Boc, Cbz and Fmoc. Further examples of amino-protecting groups embraced by the above term are well known in organic synthesis and the peptide art and are described by, for example, T. W. Greene and P. G. M. Wuts, “Protective Groups in Organic Synthesis,” 2nd ed., John Wiley and Sons, New York, N.Y., 1991, Chapter 7, M. Bodanzsky, “Principles of Peptide Synthesis,” 1st and 2nd revised ed., Springer-Verlag, New York, N.Y., 1984 and 1993, and Stewart and Young, “Solid Phase Peptide Synthesis,” 2nd ed., Pierce Chemical Co., Rockford, Ill., 1984, each of which is incorporated herein by reference. The related term “protected amino” defines an amino group substituted with an amino-protecting group discussed above.

The term “carboxy-protecting group” as used herein refers to one of the ester derivatives of the carboxylic acid group commonly employed to block or protect the carboxylic acid group while reactions are carried out on other functional groups on the compound.

Further examples of hydroxy-protecting groups are described by C. B. Reese and E. Haslam, “Protective Groups in Organic Chemistry,” J. G. W. McOmie, Ed., Plenum Press, New York, N.Y., 1973, Chapters 3 and 4, respectively, and T. W. Greene and P. G. M. Wuts, “Protective Groups in Organic Synthesis,” 2nd ed., John Wiley and Sons, New York, N.Y., 1991, Chapters 2 and 3. Related terms are “protected hydroxy,” and “protected hydoxymethyl” which refer to a hydroxy or hydroxymethyl substituted with one of the above hydroxy-protecting groups.

The substituent term “C 1 to C 4 alkylthio” refers to sulfide groups such as melthylthio, ethylthio, n-propylthio, isopropylthio, n-butylthio, t-butylthio and like groups.

The terms “phenylthio,“phenylsulfoxide,” and “phenylsulfonyl” specify a thiol, a sulfoxide, or sulfone, respectively, containing a phenyl group. The terms “substituted phenylthio,” “substituted phenylsulfoxide,” and “substituted phenylsulfonyl” mean that the phenyl of these groups can be substituted as described above in relation to “substituted phenyl.”

The term “C 1 to C 6 alkylaminocarbonyl” means a C 1 to C 6 alkyl attached to an aminocarbonyl group, where the C 1 to C 6 alkylaminocarbonyl groups are the resulting urea when an isocyanate is used in the reaction scheme.

The substituent terms “cyclic C 2 to C 7 alkylene,” substituted cyclic C 2 to C 7 alkylene,” “cyclic C 2 to C 7 heteroalkylene,” and “substituted cyclic C 2 to C 7 heteroalkylene” define such a cyclic group bonded (“fused”) to the phenyl radical resulting in a bicyclic ring system. The cyclic group may be saturated or contain one or two double bonds. Furthermore, the cyclic group may have one or two methylene or methine groups replaced by one or two oxygen, nitrogen or sulfur atoms which are the cyclic C 2 to C 7 heteroalkylene.

The cyclic alkylene or heteroalkylene group may be substituted once or twice by the same or different substituents selected from the group consisting of the following moieties: hydroxy, protected hydroxy, carboxy, protected carboxy, oxo, protected oxo, C 1 to C 4 acyloxy, formyl, C 1 to C 7 acyl, C 1 to C 6 alkyl, C 1 to C 7 alkoxy, C 1 to C 4 alkylthio, C 1 to C 4 alkylsulfoxide, C 1 to C 4 alkylsulfonyl, halo, amino, protected amino, (monosubstituted)amino, protected (monosubstituted)amino, (disubstituted)amino, hydroxymethyl and a protected hydroxymethyl.

The cyclic alkylene or heteroalkylene group fused onto the benzene radical can contain two to ten ring members, but it preferably contains three to six members.

One or more of the 4-substituted quinoline derivatives, even within a given library, may be present as a salt. The term “salt” encompasses those salts that form with the carboxylate anions and amine nitrogens and include salts formed with the organic and inorganic anions and cations discussed below. Furthermore, the term includes salts that form by standard acid-base reactions with basic groups (such as amino groups) and organic or inorganic acids. Such acids include hydrochloric, sulfuric, phosphoric, acetic, succinic, citric, lactic, maleic, fumaric, palmitic, cholic, pamoic, mucic, D-glutamic, D-camphoric, glutaric, phthalic, tartaric, lauric, stearic, salicyclic, methanesulfonic, benzenesulfonic, sorbic, picric, benzoic, cinnamic, and like acids.

The term “organic or inorganic cation” refers to counterions for the carboxylate anion of a carboxylate salt. The counter-ions are chosen from the alkali and alkaline earth metals, (such as lithium, sodium, potassium, barium, aluminum and calcium); ammonium and mono-, di- and tri-alkyl amines such as trimethylamine, cyclohexylamine; and the organic cations, such as dibenzylammonium, benzylammonium, 2-hydroxyethylammonium, bis(2-hydroxyethyl)ammonium, phenylethylbenzylammonium, dibenzylethylenediammonium, and like cations. See, for example, “Pharmaceutical Salts,” Berge et al., J. Pharm. Sci., 66:1-19 (1977), which is incorporated herein by reference. Other cations encompassed by the above term include the protonated form of procaine, quinine and N-methylglucosamine, and the protonated forms of basic amino acids such as glycine, ornithine, histidine, phenylglycine, lysine and arginine. Furthermore, any zwitterionic form of the instant compounds formed by a carboxylic acid and an amino group is referred to by this term. For example, a cation for a carboxylate anion will exist when R 2 or R 3 is substituted with a (quaternary ammonium)methyl group. A preferred cation for the carboxylate anion is the sodium cation.

The compounds of the above Formulae can also exist as solvates and hydrates. Thus, these compounds may crystallize with, for example, waters of hydration, or one, a number of, or any fraction thereof of molecules of the mother liquor solvent. The solvates and hydrates of such compounds are included within the scope of this invention.

One or more 4-substituted quinoline derivatives, even when in a library, can be in the biologically active ester form, such as the non-toxic, metabolically-labile ester-form. Such ester forms induce increased blood levels and prolong the efficacy of the corresponding non-esterified forms of the compounds. Ester groups which can be used include the lower alkoxymethyl groups, for example, methoxymethyl, ethoxymethyl, isopropoxymethyl and the like; the α-(C 1 to C 7 ) alkoxyethyl groups, for example methoxyethyl, ethoxyethyl, propoxyethyl, isopropoxyethyl and the like; the 2-oxo-1,3-diooxlen-4-ylmethyl groups, such as 5-methyl-2-oxo-1,3-diooxlen-4-ylmethyl, 5-phenyl-2-oxo-1,3-diooxlen-4-ylmethyl and the like; the C 1 to C 4 alkylthiomethyl groups, for example methylthiomethyl, ethylthiomethyl, iso-propylthiomethyl and the like; the acyloxymethyl groups, for example pivaloyloxymethyl, pivaloyloxyethyl, α-acetoxymethyl and the like; the ethoxycarbonyl-1-methyl group; the α-acetoxyethyl; the 1-(C 1 to C 7 alkyloxycarbonyloxy)ethyl groups such as the 1-(ethoxycarbonyloxy)ethyl group; and the 1-(C 1 to C 7 alkylaminocarbonyloxy)ethyl groups such as the 1-(methylaminocarbonyloxy)ethyl group.

The term “amino acid” includes any one of the twenty naturally-occurring amino acids or the D-form of any one of the naturally-occurring amino acids. In addition, the term “amino acid” also includes other non-naturally occurring amino acids besides the D-amino acids, which are functional equivalents of the naturally-occurring amino acids. Such non-naturally-occurring amino acids include, for example, norleucine (“NMe”), norvaline (“Nva”), β-Alanine, L- or D-naphthalanine, omithine (“Orn”), homoarginine (homoArg) and others well known in the peptide art, such as those described in M. Bodanzsky, “Principles of Peptide Synthesis,” 1st and 2nd revised ed., Springer-Verlag, New York, N.Y., 1984 and 1993, and Stewart and Young, “Solid Phase Peptide Synthesis,” 2nd ed., Pierce Chemical Co., Rockford, Ill., 1984, both of which are incorporated herein by reference. Amino acids and amino acid analogs can be purchased commercially (Sigma Chemical Co.; Advanced Chemtech) or synthesized using methods known in the art.

The amino acids are indicated herein by either their full name or by the commonly known three letter code. Further, in the naming of amino acids, “D-” designates an amino acid having the “D” configuration, as opposed to the naturally occurring L-amino acids. Where no specific configuration is indicated, one skilled in the art would understand the amino acid to be an L-amino acid. The amino acids can, however, also be in racemic mixtures of the D- and L-configuration or the D-amino acid can readily be substituted for that in the L-configuration.

As used herein, a chemical or combinatorial “library” is an intentionally created collection of differing molecules which can be prepared by the synthetic means provided below or otherwise and screened for biological activity in a variety of formats (e.g., libraries of soluble molecules, libraries of compounds attached to resin beads, silica chips or other solid supports). The libraries can be screened in any variety of assays, such as those detailed below as well as others useful for assessing the biological activity. The libraries are usefull in their ability to rapidly synthesize and screen a diverse number or compounds. Moreover, the libraries will generally have at least one active compound and are generally prepared in such that the compounds are in equimolar quantities.

“Combinatorial chemistry” or “combinatorial synthesis” refers to the parallel synthesis of diverse compounds by sequential addition of reagents which leads to the generation of large chemical libraries having molecular diversity. Combinatorial chemistry, therefore, involves the systematic and repetitive, covalent connection of a set of different “building blocks” of varying structures to yield large arrays of diverse molecular entities.

The compounds of Formula I and combinatorial libraries containing the same can be prepared as set forth in the Reaction Schemes provided in the Figures and described below. The substituents R 1 to R 9 in the Reaction Schemes have the same meaning as those described above. The substituent Y in the Reaction Schemes is the same as defined above with the exception that it is still bound to resin or is the functionalized resin and, therefore, has one less hydrogen.

In brief, the 4-substituted quinoline compounds of the present invention can be prepared according to Reaction Scheme I as shown in FIG. 1 . As depicted in FIG. 1 , a solid support resin-bound aniline (1) (resin identified by a shaded circle) is reacted, in situ, with an aldehyde (2) and is thereby, converted to the corresponding imine (3). This is performed in the presence of a dieneophile and an acid. In the presence of the dieneophile, the imine(3) undergoes a hetero-Diels-Alder-like reaction and yields the 4-substituted tetrahydroquinoline (4).

More specifically, as shown by Reaction Scheme II in FIG. 2 , the 4-substituted quinolines and libraries containing the same are prepared by the following more detailed steps. First, the anilines, (as shown in FIG. 2 ), are coupled to resin, such as MBHA (FIG. 2 ), MBA, Tentagel™ and the like as described below, using a carbodiimide coupling agent, such as dicyclohexylcarbodiimide, diisopropylcarbodiimide, N-dimethylamninoethyl-N′-ethyl-carbodiimide and the like, and an activator, such as 1-hydroxybenzotriazole, 7-aza-1-hydroxybenzotriazole and the like, in an aprotic polar solvent such as dichloromethane, dimethylformamide and the like, at between 10° C. and 100° C. preferably at 25° C., for 2 to 24 hours, preferably 8 to 16 hours. The protecting group (“PG”) of the α-amino group is removed using a strong acid such as trifluoroacetic acid or trifluoromethanesulfonic acid and the like (1-95%) or using an amine base such as piperidine, pyrrolidine, or morpholine and the like (1-95%) in an aprotic solvent such as dichloromethane, dimethylformamide and the like, at between 10° C. and 100° C., preferably at 25° C., for 2 to 24 hours, preferably 8 to 16 hours. The free amino group of the individual or mixtures of resin-bound anilines is condensed with an aldehyde in the presence of a dieneophile, such as 4-methoxystyrene, 3,5-dimethoxystyrene, N-vinylpyrrolidine, N-methyl-N-vinylpyrrolidine and the like and an acid, such as trifluoroacetic acid, toluenesulfonic acid and the like, using in a polar solvent, such as dichloromethane, dimethylformamide, dimethylacetamide, N-methylpyrrolidinone or the like, for a period of 1 to 72 hours, usually 12 to 24 hours at 20° C. to 75° C. and preferably at 25° C. to arrive at novel 4-substituted quinoline derivatives. Finally, the compounds can be cleaved from the resin by the methods common to those skilled in the art and the compounds tested for biological activity.

More specifically, as shown by Reaction Scheme III in FIG. 3 , the 4-substituted quinolines and libraries containing the same are prepared by the following more detailed steps. First, as shown in FIG. 3 , N-Boc-nitrophenylalanines or, alternatively, the FMOC protected analogs are coupled to resin, such as MBHA, MBA, Tentagel™ and the like as described below, using a carbodiimide coupling agent, such as dicyclohexylcarbodiimide, diisopropyl-carbodiimide, N-dimethylaminoethyl-N′-ethyl-carbodiimide and the like, and an activator, such as 1-hydroxybenzotriazole, 7-aza-1-hydroxybenzotriazole and the like, in an aprotic polar solvent such as dichloromethane, dimethylformamide and the like, at between 10° C. and 100° C., preferably at 25° C., for 2 to 24 hours, preferably 8 to 16 hours. The BOC of the α-amino group is removed using a strong acid such as trifluoroacetic acid or trifluoromethanesulfonic acid and the like (1-95%) in an aprotic solvent such as dichloromethane, dimethylformamide and the like, at between 10° C. and 100° C., preferably at 25° C., for 2 to 24 hours, preferably 8 to 16 hours. Alternatively, the FMOC of the α amino acid is removed using an amine base such as piperidine, pyrrolidine, or morpholine and the like (1-95%) in an aprotic solvent such as dichloromethane, dimethylformamide and the like, at between 10° C. and 100° C., preferably at 25° C., for 2 to 24 hours, preferably 8 to 16 hours. The free amino group are coupled to a carboxylic acid, such as acetic acid, benzoic acid and the like (FIG. 3 ), using a carbodiimide coupling agent, such as dicyclohexylcarbodiimide, diisopropyl-carbodiimide, N-dimethylaminoethyl-N′-ethyl-carbodiimide and the like, and an activator, such as 1-hydroxybenzotriazole, 7-aza-1-hydroxybenzotriazole and the like, in an aprotic polar solvent such as dichloromethane, dimethylfornamide and the like, at between 10° C. and 100° C., preferably at 25° C., for 2 to 24 hours, preferably 8 to 16 hours.. The nitro group of the phenylalanine is subjected to conditions to reduce the nitro group to an amine, in the case of Reaction Scheme III tin dichloride, in an aprotic solvent such as chloroform, dimethylformamide, dimethylacetamide, N-methylpyrrolidinone for 2 to 36 hours and preferably 16 hours at 20° C. to 125° C., preferably at 25-30° C. The free amino group of the individual or mixtures of resin-bound aminophenylalanines is condensed with an aldehyde in the presence of a dieneophile, such as 4-methoxystyrene, 3,5-dimethoxystyrene, N-vinylpyrrolidine, N-methyl-N-vinylpyrrolidine and the like, and an acid such as trifluoroacetic acid or toluenesulfonic acid and the like, using in a polar solvent, such as dichloromethane, dimethylformamide, dimethylacetamide, N-methylpyrrolidinone or the like, for a period of 1 to 72 hours, usually 12 to 24 hours at 20° C. to 75° C. and preferably at 25° C. to arrive at novel 4-substituted quinoline derivatives. Finally, the compounds can be cleaved from the resin by the methods common to those skilled in the art and the compounds tested for biological activity. It should be appreciated by those of skill in the art that with certain resins, cleavage from the resin results in the functional group on the resin coming off the resin and being maintained with the cleaved compounds. For example, with an amino-resin, such as methylbenzhydrylamine resin, the amine group from the resin is cleaved off the resin and makes the 4-substituted quinoline(s) of interest an amide.

The term “functionalized resin” means any resin where functional groups have been introduced into the resin, as is common in the art. Such resins include, for example, those functionalized with amino, amide, or hydroxy groups. Such resins which can serve as solid supports are well known in the art and include, for example, 4-methylbenzhydrylamine-copoly(styrene-1% divinylbenzene) (MBHA), 4-hydroxymethylphenoxymethyl-copoly(styrene-1% divinylbenzene), 4-oxymethyl-phenyl-acetamido-copoly(styrene-1% divinylbenzene)(Wang), 4-(oxymethyl)-phenylacetamido methyl (Pam), Tentage™, from Rapp Polymere Gmbh, and trialkoxy-diphenyl-methyl ester-copoly(styrene-1% divinylbenzene) (RINK) all of which are commercially available. Preparation of the combinatorial libraries can be by the “split resin approach.” The split resin approach is described by, for example, U.S. Pat. No. 5,010,175 to Rutter, WO PCT 91/19735 to Simon, and Gallop et al., J. Med. Chem., 37:1233-1251 (1994), all of which are incorporated herein by reference.

The 4-substituted quinolines prepared by the above Reaction Schemes, once cleaved from the resin, result in compounds of Formula II:

These 4-substituted quinoline compounds of Formula II can be converted, generally before cleavage from tile resin, to alternatively substituted compounds having an alkyl or acyl, or other functionality as defined by R 9 above and provided by Formula I:

The 4-substituted quinolines of Formula II, before cleavage from the resin, can be substituted at positions R 9 following Reaction Scheme IV provided in FIG. 4 . Briefly, as shown in Reaction Scheme IV, the 4-substituted quinoline prepared by the above Reaction Schemes I, II or III is condensed with a carboxylic acid, carboxylic acid anhydride, acid halide, alkyl halide or isocyanate in an aprotic solvent, such as dimethylformamide, dichloromethane, 1-methyl-2-pyrrolidinone, N-N,-dimethylacetamide, tetrahydrofuran, dioxane and the like, in the presence of an acid acceptor, if desired, to furnish the substituted 4-substituted quinoline.

For example, preparation of the library containing alternatively substituted 4-substituted quinolines other than R 9 equal to a hydrogen atom involves, instead of cleaving from the resin, free NH of the newly formed 4-substituted quinoline compound being reacted with a carboxylic acid activated with N-[(dimethylamino)-1H-1,2,3-triazolo[4,5-b]pyridin-1-ylmethylene]-N-methylmethanaminium hexafluorophosphate N-oxide (HATU, Perspective Biosystems, Farmingham, Mass.), dissolved in dimethylformamide, N-N,-dimeftiylacetaride, 1-methyl-2-pyrrolidinone and the like. The reaction is allowed to proceed for 1 to 24 hours at 20° C. to 80° C., preferably at 25° C. for 3 to 5 hours to yield various carboxamide derivatives. Finally, the compounds are cleaved from the resin as described above and tested for biological activity.

The 4-substituted quinolines of Formula II which are in the 1,2,3,4-tetrahydro form, before or after cleavage from the resin, can be oxidized to the quinoline provided R 9 is a hydrogen atom following Reaction Scheme V provided in FIG. 5 . Briefly, as shown in Reaction Scheme V, the 4-substituted quinoline prepared by the above Reaction Schemes I, II or III is reacted with an oxidant, such as peracetic acid, meta-chloroperbenzoic acid, iodine in an aprotic solvent, such as dimethylformamide, dichloromethane, 1-methyl-2-pyrrolidinone, N-N,-dimethylacetamide, tetrahydrofuran, dioxane and the like, to furnish the substituted quinoline.

Pharmaceutical compositions containing the new 4-substituted quinoline derivatives are also included within the scope of the present invention, as are methods of using the compounds and compositions. The new 4-substituted quinoline compounds of the present invention can be used for a variety of purposes and indications. For instance, related tetrahydroquinolines have been reported to N-methyl-D-aspartate (NMDA) receptor site antagonists and, therefore, useful in reducing ischemic brain damage as described, for example, in Leeson et al., J. Med. (Chem. 35:1954 (1992), which is incorporated herein by reference. Moreover, to evaluate whether the subject 4-substituted quinolines have antimicrobial activity, and, therefore, can be used to treat infections, the ability of the compounds to inhibit bacterial growth can be determined by methods well known in the art. An exemplary in vitro antimicrobial activity assay is described in Blondelle and Houghten, Biochemistry 30:4671-4678 (1991), which is incorporated herein by reference. In brief, Staphylococcus aureus ATCC 29213 (Rockville, Md.,) is grown overnight at 37° C. in Mueller-Hinton broth, then reinoculated and incubated at 37° C. to reach the exponential phase of bacterial growth (i.e., a final bacterial suspension containing 10 5 to 5×10 5 colony-forming units/ml). The concentration of cells is established by plating 100 μl of the culture solution using serial dilutions (e.g., 10 −2 , 10 −3 and 10 −4 ) onto solid agar plates. In 96-well tissue culture plates 4-substituted quinolines, individual or in mixtures, are added to the bacterial suspension at concentrations derived from serial two-fold dilutions ranging from 1500 to 2.9 μg/ml. The plates are incubated overnight at 37° C. and the growth determined at each concentration by OD 620 nm. The IC 50 (the concentration necessary to inhibit 50% of the growth of the bacteria) can then be calculated.

Additional assays can be used to test the biological activity of the instant 4-substituted quinolines. Such as a competitive enzyme-linked immunoabsorbent assay and radio-receptor assays, both as described in greater detail below. The latter test, the radio-receptor assay, can be selective for either the μ, δ or κ opiate receptors and is therefore an indication of 4-substituted quinolines analgesic properties.

Competitive Enzyme-Linked Immunosorbent Assay (ELISA): The competitive ELISA method which can be used here is a modification of the direct ELISA technique described previously in Appel et al., J. Immunol. 144:976-983 (1990), which is incorporated herein by reference. It differs only in the MAb addition step. Briefly, multi-well microplates are coated with the antigenic peptide (Ac-GASPYPNLSNQQT-NH 2 ) at a concentration of 100 pmol/50 μl. After blocking, 25 μl of a 1.0 mg/ml solution of each 4-substituted quinoline mixture of a synthetic combinatorial library (or individual 4-substituted quinoline) is added, followed by MAb 125-10 F3 (Appel et al., supra) (25 μl per well). The MAb is added at a fixed dilution in which the 4-substituted quinoline in solution effectively competes for MAb binding with the antigenic peptide adsorbed to the plate. The remaining steps are the same as for direct ELISA. The concentration of 4-substituted quinoline necessary to inhibit 50% of the MAb binding to the control peptide on the plate (IC 50 ) is determined by serial dilutions of the 4-substituted quinoline.

Radio-Receptor Assay: Particulate membranes can be prepared using a modification of the method described in Pasternak et al., Mol. Pharmacol. 11:340-351 (1975), which is incorporated herein by reference. Rat brains frozen in liquid nitrogen can be obtained from Rockland (Gilbertsville, Pa.). The brains are thawed, the cerebella removed and the remaining tissue weighed. Each brain is individually homogenized in 40 ml Tris-HCl buffer (50 mM, pH 7.4, 4° C.) and centrifuged (Sorvall® RC5C SA-600: Du Pont, Wilmington, Del.) (16,000 rpm) for 10 mins. The pellets are resuspended in fresh Tris-HCl buffer and incubated at 37° C. for 40 mins. Following incubation, the suspensions are centrifuged as before, the resulting pellets resuspended in 100 volumes of Tris buffer and the suspensions combined. Membrane suspensions are prepared and used in the same day. Protein content of the crude homogenates generally range from 0.15-0.2 mg/ml as determined using the method described in M. M. Bradford, M. M., Anal. Biochem. 72:248-254 (1976), which is incorporated herein by reference.

Binding assays are carried out in polypropylene tubes, each tube containing 0.5 ml of membrane suspension. 8 nM of 3 H-[D-Ala 2 ,Me-Phe 4 ,Gly-ol 5 ]enkephalin (DAMGO) (specific activity=36 Ci/mmol, 160,000 cpm per tube; which can be obtained from Multiple Peptide Systems, San Diego, Calif., through NIDA drug distribution program 271-90-7302) and 80 μg/ml of 4-substituted quinoline, individual or as a mixture and Tris-HCl buffer in a total volume of 0.65 ml. Assay tubes are incubated for 60 mins. at 25° C. The reaction is terminated by filtration through GF-B filters on a Tomtec harvester (Orange, Conn.). The filters are subsequently washed with 6 ml of Tris-HCl buffer, 4° C. Bound radioactivity is counted on a Pharmacia Biotech Betaplate Liquid Scintillation Counter (Piscataway, N.J.) and expressed in cprn. To determine inter- and intra-assay variation, standard curves in which 3 H-DAMGO is incubated in the presence of a range of concentrations of unlabeled DAMGO (0.13-3900 nM) are generally included in each plate of each assay (a 96-well format). Competitive inhibition assays are performed as above using serial dilutions of the 4-substituted quinolines, individually or in mixtures. IC 50 values (the concentration necessary to inhibit 50% of 3 H-DAMGO binding) are then calculated. As opposed to this μ receptor selective assay, assays selective for δ receptors can be carried out using [ 3 H]-Naltrindole (3 nM, specific activity 32 Ci/mmol as radioligand or, alternatively, assays selective for κ receptors can be carried out using [ 3 H]-U69,593 (3 nM, specific activity 62 Ci/mmol) as radioligand.

As pharmaceutical compositions for treating infections, pain, or any other indication the 4-substituted quinoline compounds of the present invention are generally in a pharmaceutical composition so as to be administered to a subject at dosage levels of from 0.7 to 7000 mg per day, and preferably 1 to 500 mg per day, for a normal human adult of approximately 70 kg of body weight, this translates into a dosage of from 0.01 to 100 mg/kg of body weight per day. The specific dosages employed, however, can be varied depending upon the requirements of the patient, the severity of the condition being treated, and the activity of the compound being employed. The determination of optimum dosages for a particular situation is within the skill of the art.

For preparing pharmaceutical compositions containing compounds of the invention, inert, pharmaceutically acceptable carriers are used. The pharmaceutical carrier can be either solid or liquid. Solid form preparations include, for example, powders, tablets, dispersible granules, capsules, cachets, and suppositories.

A solid carrier can be one or more substances which can also act as diluents, flavoring agents, solubilizers, lubricants, suspending agents, binders, or tablet disintegrating agents; it can also be an encapsulating material.

In powders, the carrier is generally a finely divided solid which is in a mixture with the finely divided active component. In tablets, the active compound is mixed with the carrier having the necessary binding properties in suitable proportions and compacted in the shape and size desired.

For preparing pharmaceutical composition in the form of suppositories, a low-melting wax such as a mixture of fatty acid glycerides and cocoa butter is first melted and the active ingredient is dispersed therein by, for example, stirring. The molten homogeneous mixture is then poured into convenient-sized molds and allowed to cool and solidify.

Powders and tablets preferably contain between about 5% to about 70% by weight of the active ingredient. Suitable carriers include, for example, magnesium carbonate, magnesium stearate, talc, lactose, sugar, pectin, dextrin, starch, tragacanth, methyl cellulose, sodium carboxymethyl cellulose, a low-melting wax, cocoa butter and the like.

The pharmaceutical compositions can include the formulation of the active compound with encapsulating material as a carrier providing a capsule in which the active component (with or without other carriers) is surrounded by a carrier, which is thus in association with it. In a similar manner, cachets are also included.

Tablets, powders, cachets, and capsules can be used as solid dosage forms suitable for oral administration.

Liquid pharmaceutical compositions include, for example, solutions suitable for oral or parenteral administration, or suspensions, and emulsions suitable for oral administration. Sterile water solutions of the active component or sterile solutions of the active component in solvents comprising water, ethanol, or propylene glycol are examples of liquid compositions suitable for parenteral administration.

Sterile solutions can be prepared by dissolving the active component in the desired solvent system, and then passing the resulting solution through a membrane filter to sterilize it or, alternatively, by dissolving the sterile compound in a previously sterilized solvent under sterile conditions.

Aqueous solutions for oral administration can be prepared by dissolving the active compound in water and adding suitable flavorants, coloring agents, stabilizers, and thickening agents as desired. Aqueous suspensions for oral use can be made by dispersing the finely divided active component in water together with a viscous material such as natural or synthetic gums, resins, methyl cellulose, sodium carboxymethyl cellulose, and other suspending agents known to the pharmaceutical formulation art.

Preferably, the pharmaceutical composition is in unit dosage form. In such form, the composition is divided into unit doses containing appropriate quantities of the active 4-substituted quinoline. The unit dosage form can be a packaged preparation, the package containing discrete quantities of the preparation, for example, packeted tablets, capsules, and powders in vials or ampules. The unit dosage form can also be a capsule, cachet, or tablet itself, or it can be the appropriate number of any of these packaged forms.

The following Examples are intended to illustrate but not limit the present invention.

EXAMPLE 1

Combinatorial Library of 4-(4-Methoxyphenyl)Tetrahydroquinoline Derivatives

This Example provides a representative solid-phase combinatorial synthesis of a library which contains approximately 2380 derivatives of 4-aryltetrahydroquinolines (THQs).

Following the above Reaction Scheme I, preparation of a library containing the THQs involves the following steps. Briefly, first, 17 diverse aminobenzoic acids, varying at position of Y—R 1 , R 2 , R 3 or R 4 without use of amino-protecting groups, were coupled to MBHA resin employing the tea-bag method of Houghten et. al, as described, for example in U.S. Pat. No. 4,631,211 to Houghten and Houghten et al., Proc. Natl. Acad. Sci., 82:5131-5135 (1985), both of which are incorporated herein by reference. After coupling and thorough washing the 17 tea-bags, each containing one resin-bound aminobenzoic acid, were opened and the resin beads combined and thoroughly mixed in a large tea-bag as a suspension in dichloromethane (DCM). The resin mixture was dried under vacuum, then divided into equivalent portions and resealed in 70 labeled tea-bags, each tea-bag now containing a mixture of the 17 aminobenzoic acids. This was followed by reaction with 70 aldehydes, each differing by their R 5 substituent, and 4-methoxystyrene in the presence of trifluoroacetic acid. After washing with a series of solvents, the resins were dried under vacuum and the mixtures individually cleaved from the MBHA resin using a hydrogen fluoride (HF) procedure. The individual mixtures varying at Y—R 1 , R 2 , R 3 or R 4 and constant at R 5 , each a mixture containing 34 individual compounds, including enantiomers, can then be tested for biological activity using any one of a variety of screening assays, such as those described above or others well known in the art.

Seventeen polypropylene mesh packets (tea-bags, ˜22″ square, 65μ; McMaster Carr, Chicago, Ill.) of (5 g, 0.89 meq/g) MBHA resin were prepared, washed with DCM (2×, ˜5 ml each), neutralized with 5% diisopropylethylamine/dicbloromethane (DIEA/DCM) (3×, ˜5 ml each), and washed with DCM (2×, ˜5 ml each). Each resin packet was individually coupled overnight (˜16 hrs) by adding 5×aminobenzoic acid (0.5 M)in 1:1 DMF/DCM solvent system followed by 5×diisopropylcarbodiimide (DIC) in DCM (0.5 M) and hydroxybenzotriazole (HOBt) (5×). Following coupling completion, resin packets were washed with DCM (2×), DMF (2×), and DCM (1×) and MeOH (1×). After drying under vacuum 4-12 hrs, each individual packet was then opened and a proportional amount of resin transferred to a large Tea-bag (˜5″ square) which was sealed and shaken in DCM for 1 hour. After a MeOH wash the mixed resin was dried under vacuum and then 30 mg portions (calc. 25 micromole) distributed into labeled Tea-bags (˜1.5″ square) for use in subsequent chemistry.

The 2 subgroups (L or D Branch) were distributed into tea-bags and reacted with 58 aldehydes and 4-methoxystyrene in the presence of trifluoroacetic acid to generate new 4-(4-methoxyphenyl)tetrahydroquinoline derivatives. After standard HF cleavage the individual mixtures varying at R 8 and constant at Y—R 1 and R 5 , each a mixture containing 340 individual compounds, including enantiomers, which can then be tested for biological activity.

3. Reduction of the Mixtures of Resin-Bound L and D N-Acylated p-Nitroahenylalanine

All of the Tea-bags from the previous step were placed in a large container and shaken with a solution of SnCl 2 .2H 2 O in DMF (2.0 M, 1.5 L) at room temperature overnight (˜16 hrs). The packets were washed with DMF (3×), methanol (2×), DCM (2×), air-dried for 30 min and then dried under vacuum for 1-2 hrs. The bags were sorted into appropriate sets for use in the subsequent chemistry.

4. Reaction of the Mixtures of Resin-Bound L and D N-Acylated p-Aminophenylalanine with Aldehydes and 4-Methoxystyrene

Following the procedure in Example 1 30 mg Tea-bags (separately 170 bags of the L and the D series branched N-acylated p-aminophenylalanine and 1 sibling bag containing L-N-propanoyl p-aminophenylalanine) were added to each solution of 25 aldehydes (1 M) in DMF (10 mL) and cooled in freezer (−10° C.) for 15-30 minutes. Following, 2.42 mL of 4-methoxystyrene (2M final concentration) was added and the solution cooled in the freezer again for 15-30 minutes. After cooling, 0.77 mL of trifluoroacetic acid (1M) was added and the cyclization reaction shaken for 45-50 hours at room temperature. Following completion of the 4-(4-methoxyphenyl)tetrahydroquinoline formation, the resin packets were washed with DCM (2×), DMF (2×), and DCM (1×), MeOH (1×) and dried under vacuum.

The branched 4-(4-methoxyphenyl)tetrahydroquinoline controls (L-N-propanoyl p-aminophenylalanine sibling bags) and mixtures were cleaved off the resin by treatment with HF (liquid (l)) at −15° C. for 2 hrs in the presence of anisole scavenger followed by warming to room temperature while removing HF (gaseous (g)) with a nitrogen stream. Results for the control bags are given in Table 3.
