The present invention relates to new 5-thioxylose compounds, preferably 5-thioxylopyranose type derivatives, and also to the process for the preparation thereof and to the use thereof as an active ingredient of medicaments, in particular for use in the treatment or prevention of thromboses.
D-xylose derivatives are already known, for example through documents EP 051 023 B1, U.S. Pat. No. 4,877,808, EP 421 829 B1 and WO 05/030 785 or through the publication J. Med. Chem. Vol. 36 no 7, p 898-903. These known compounds are recommended for reducing the risks of venous thrombosis in humans. The mechanism of action of these compounds appears to be an effect on plasma glycosaminoglycans (J. Biol. Chem., Vol 270 no 6 p 2662-68, Thromb. Haemost. 1999, 81 p 945-950).
A new family of compounds, derived from thioxylose, which have good antithrombotic activity and which can be synthesized efficiently, has now been discovered.
The new compounds according to the invention are characterized in that they are chosen from:
a) the compounds of formula:
in which:
b) the addition salts of the compounds of formula I;
c) the active metabolites of the compounds of formula I.
The invention also relates to the compounds of formula I for the use thereof as a pharmacologically active substance.
In particular, the invention relates to the use of at least one substance chosen from the compounds of formula I and the nontoxic addition salts thereof, for the preparation of a medicament, for use in human or animal therapy, for the prevention or treatment of thromboses, in particular venous thromboses. Since the compounds according to the invention are active according to a method of action involving glycosaminoglycans, they may be of use as an active ingredient of a medicament for use in the treatment or prevention of any other diseases in which glycosaminoglycans are involved.
In formula I, the term “C1-C4 alkyl group” is intended to mean a saturated hydrocarbon-based chain containing from 1 to 4 carbon atoms, which is linear or branched, or partially or completely cyclized, the cyclized portion containing 3 or 4 carbon atoms. Examples of C1-C4 alkyl groups are in particular methyl, ethyl, propyl, butyl, 1-methylethyl, 1,1-dimethylethyl, 1-methylpropyl, 2-methylpropyl, cyclopropyl or cyclopropylmethyl groups.
The term “C2-C6 acyl group” is intended to mean an R—CO— group, in which R represents an alkyl group as defined above containing from 1 to 5 carbon atoms. Examples of C2-C6 acetyl groups are in particular acetyl, propanoyl, butanoyl, pentanoyl or hexanoyl groups, and also homologues thereof in which the chain may be branched.
The term “C1-C4 alkoxy group” is intended to mean an RO— group, in which R is an alkyl group containing from 1 to 4 carbon atoms as defined above. By way of examples of C1-C4 alkoxy groups, mention may be made of methoxy, ethoxy, propoxy, butoxy, 1-methylethoxy, 1,1-dimethylethoxy, 1-methylpropoxy, 2-methylpropoxy or cyclopropylmethoxy groups.
The term “addition salts” is intended to mean the addition salts obtained by reacting a compound of formula I with a mineral or organic acid. Preferably, they are pharmaceutically acceptable addition salts. The hydrates or solvates of the compounds of formula I or of the salts of the compounds of formula I are also an integral part of the invention.
Among the mineral acids that are suitable for salifying a basic compound of formula I, hydrochloric acid, hydrobromic acid, phosphoric acid and sulfuric acid are preferred. Among the organic acids that are suitable for salifying a basic compound of formula I, methanesulfonic acid, benzenesulfonic acid, toluenesulfonic acid, maleic acid, fumaric acid, oxalic acid, citric acid, tartaric acid, lactic acid and trifluoroacetic acid are preferred.
The term “active metabolites” is intended to mean the compounds produced in the biological environment from the compounds of formula I and which have a pharmacological activity of the same nature as the compounds of formula I, described in the present application. By way of example, the compounds of formula I in which R1 represents an acyl group can be metabolized by reduction of the ketone function to an alcohol function (—CHOH—) so as to give a new compound (metabolite) which conserves a pharmacological activity of the same nature as that of the compounds of formula I.

Among the compounds according to the present invention, preference is given to those in which X1 and Y2 represent a nitrogen atom and X2 and Y1 represent a carbon atom, and also the compounds in which X1, X2 and Y2 represent a nitrogen atom and Y1 represents a carbon atom.
Among the compounds according to the invention, preference is also given to the compounds in which R is a hydrogen atom or the —COCH3 group.

The compounds are subsequently isolated and purified according to methods known to those skilled in the art, for example by crystallization or by chromatography.
In general, 2,3,4-tri-O-acetyl-5-thio-α-D-xylopyranosyl bromide or tetra-O-acetyl-5-thio-α-D-xylopyranose is preferably used when it is a question of obtaining a β-D-5-thioxylopyranose derivative.
The glycosylation reactions described above most commonly result in a mixture of the isomers of α and β configuration and it is generally necessary to optimize the operating conditions in order to obtain proportions favorable to the β-configuration isomer. For this same reason, it may also be necessary to perform purifications, either by recrystallization or by chromatography, so as to obtain the pure β-isomer.

The structures of the compounds of formula I described above are reiterated in the table below:
The antithrombotic activity of the compounds according to the invention was studied in vivo in rats by virtue of a test that reproduces a venous thrombosis.
The venous thrombosis was induced according to the protocol described in Thromb. Haemost. 1992, 67(1), 176-179. The activity by oral administration was studied according to the following operating protocol:
The experiment is carried out on male Wistar rats, not fasting, weighing 250 to 280 g and divided up into groups, each of 8 to 10 animals. The test products are administered orally (by tube) in solution or in suspension in a solution of methylcellulose (0.5% in water). The concentration of the compounds is calculated such that an amount of solution of 10 ml/kg is absorbed orally. A thrombosis is induced at a time T (between 2 hours and 8 hours) after administration of the product, and the thrombus formed is removed and weighed. In order to induce this thrombosis, a venous stasis with hypercoagulation is produced, according to the technique described by WESSLER (J. Applied Physiol. 1959, 943-946) using, as hypercoagulating agent, a solution of activated factor X (Xa), supplied by the company Biogenic (Montpellier), and having a concentration of 7.5 nKat/kg. The venous stasis is produced exactly 10 seconds after the injection of the hypercoagulating agent. The activity of the compounds tested was verified at various doses, after they were administered. The thrombosis was induced between 2 hours and 8 hours after administration of the compound. By way of example, the results of the preceding tests are reported in the table below for some compounds according to the invention (the activity is expressed by the percentage inhibition of the formation of the thrombus, observed in the presence of the compound according to the invention, relative to the weight of the thrombus formed in the absence of the compound).
These results show that the compounds according to the invention have an activity against venous thrombosis.
A subject of the present invention is therefore a compound of formula I according to the invention, and also the pharmaceutically acceptable salts thereof with an acid, solvates thereof and hydrates thereof, for their use as a medicament. The compound of formula I or a pharmaceutically acceptable salt, solvate or hydrate thereof may be used for the preparation of an antithrombotic medicament for use, in particular, in the treatment or prevention of venous circulation conditions, and especially for correcting certain hematological parameters that are sensitive at the venous level.
A subject of the present invention is also therefore pharmaceutical compositions containing a compound of formula I or a pharmaceutically acceptable salt, solvate or hydrate thereof. These pharmaceutical compositions in general contain suitable excipients. Said excipients are chosen according to the pharmaceutical form and the route of administration desired, in particular oral administration or administration by injection.
These pharmaceutical compositions are prepared according to the conventional methods known to those skilled in the art. For example, the compounds according to the invention may be formulated with physiologically acceptable excipients in order to obtain an injectable form to be used directly, an injectable form to be prepared extemporaneously or a solid form for oral administration, such as, for example, a gel capsule or a tablet.
By way of example, an injectable form may preferably be prepared by lyophilizing a filtered and sterilized solution containing the compound according to the invention and a soluble excipient in an amount necessary and sufficient to obtain an isotonic solution after extemporaneous addition of water for injection. The solution obtained may be administered either as a single subcutaneous or intramuscular injection, or in the form of a slow perfusion. A form for oral administration will preferably be in the form of a gel capsule containing the compound of the invention, finely ground, or better still micronized, and mixed with excipients known to those skilled in the art, for instance lactose, pregelatinized starch or magnesium stearate.
In order to obtain the desired therapeutic or prophylactic effect, each unit dose may contain 10 to 500 mg of at least one compound according to the invention.
The foregoing description and examples have been set forth merely to illustrate the invention and are not intended to be limiting. Since modifications of the described embodiments incorporating the spirit and substance of the invention may occur to persons skilled in the art, the invention should be construed broadly to include all variations within the scope of the appended claims and equivalents thereof.
