This application is a United States Application under 35 U.S.C. 371 claiming benefit of PCT Application No. PCT/IB2010/051499, filed on Apr. 7, 2010, which claims the benefit of PCT Application No. PCT/IB2009/051486, filed on Apr. 8, 2009, the contents of each of which are incorporated herein by reference in their entirety.
The present invention relates to certain 6-(3-aza-bicyclo[3.1.0]hex-3-yl)-2-phenyl-pyrimidine derivatives and their use as P2Y12 receptor antagonists in the treatment and/or prevention of peripheral vascular, of visceral-, hepatic- and renal-vascular, of cardiovascular and of cerebrovascular diseases or conditions associated with platelet aggregation, including thrombosis in humans and other mammals.
Haemostasis is referred to as the natural balance of maintaining the fluidity of the blood in the vascular system and preventing excessive blood loss subsequent to blood vessel injury by rapid formation of a solid blood clot. After vascular damage, contraction of the vessels and platelet adhesion occur immediately followed by aggregation of the platelets, activation of the coagulation cascade and finally also of the fibrinolytic system. Haemostatic abnormalities can lead to excessive bleeding or thrombosis, both life-threatening situations.
A series of antiplatelet agents have been developed over the past several years based on different mechanisms of action. The most widely used agent in antiplatelet therapy is aspirin, which irreversibly inhibits cyclooxygenase-1 and thereby affecting the thromboxane pathway. Although not optimally efficacious, treatment with aspirin remains the standard therapy against which new therapeutics are compared and judged.
Other drugs like the phosphodiesterase inhibitors dipyridamole and cilostazol, as well as the vitamin K antagonists (warfarin), are marketed but do not show all desirable features for such drugs. Three intravenously applicable, potent GPIIb/IIIa receptor antagonists (abciximab, eptifibatide, and tirofiban) blocking platelet aggregation are available on the market. Besides, some orally active GPIIb/IIIa antagonists (e.g. sibrafiban, xemilofiban or orbofiban) have not been successful in clinical development so far.
Adenosine 5′-diphosphate (ADP) is a key mediator in platelet activation and aggregation interfering with two platelet ADP receptors P2Y1 and P2Y12.
Antagonists of the platelet ADP receptor have been identified and display inhibition of platelet aggregation and antithrombotic activity. The most effective antagonists known so far are the thienopyridines ticlopidine, clopidogrel and CS-747, which have been used clinically as antithrombotic agents. It could be shown that these drugs, via their reactive metabolites, irreversibly block the ADP receptor subtype P2Y12.
Some P2Y12 antagonists like AR-C69931MX (Cangrelor) or AZD6140 have reached phase III clinical studies. These inhibitors are selective platelet ADP receptor antagonists, which inhibit ADP-dependent platelet aggregation, and are effective in vivo.
Piperazino-carbonylmethylaminocarbonyl-naphtyl or -quinolyl derivatives have been described as ADP receptor antagonists in WO 02/098856 and WO 2004/052366.
WO 2006/114774 describes 2-phenyl-4-(carbonylmethylaminocarbonyl)-pyrimidine derivatives as P2Y12 receptor antagonists. However, unlike the invention compounds, the compounds disclosed in WO 2006/114774 do not have any 3-aza-bicyclo[3.1.0]hex-3-yl substitution on the pyrimidine core.
The inventors have now surprisingly found that the 6-(3-aza-bicyclo[3.1.0]hex-3-yl)-2-phenyl-pyrimidine derivatives of formula I described hereafter also show P2Y12 receptor antagonist properties.

The preferences indicated for the compounds of formula I of course apply mutatis mutandis to the salts and pharmaceutically acceptable salts of the compounds of formula I. The same applies to these compounds as medicaments, to pharmaceutical compositions containing these compounds as active principles, to the uses of these compounds for the manufacture of a medicament for the treatment of the diseases according to this invention or to the compounds for the treatment of the diseases according to this invention.

Subsequent reaction of the acid derivative with NH4OH in the presence of isobutyryl chloroformate, a base such as NMM in a suitable solvent such as THF, preferably between −15° C. and RT, gives access to the amide derivative (VIIIb). The amide derivative VIIIb as well as the ester derivative of formula VIII can be deprotected to give the compounds of formula VI using standard methods for the removal of a Cbz group that are well known to one skilled in the art (e.g. palladium on charcoal in EtOH, MeOH or EA, under hydrogen).

Subsequent oxidation of the elongated aldehyde derivative to form the acid derivative of formula XV can be carried out under conditions of the Pinnick oxidation, using sodium chlorite in the presence of 2-methyl-2-butene, in a suitable solvent such as tert-butanol and at a temperature around RT. Esterification of the acid derivative of formula XV under standard conditions (e.g. R3OH, DCC, DMAP in DCM) gives the intermediate of formula XVI. Cleavage of the Cbz group yields the compound of formula VIc wherein n is 0, 1 or 2.

Biological Tests
P2Y12 Receptor Binding Assay
Procedure
Chinese Hamster Ovary (CHO) cells with recombinant expression of the human P2Y12 receptor were cultured in 24 well cell-culture plates. Cells were washed three times with binding buffer (50 mM Tris pH 7.4, 100 mM NaCl, 1 mM EDTA, 0.5% BSA). The cells were then incubated with 0.5 ml per well binding buffer containing tritium-labeled 2-methyl-thio-adenosine 5′-diphosphate (2-methyl-S-ADP) (between 100,000 and 300,000 dpm per well) and various concentrations of test compounds. After incubation at RT for 2 hours, cells were washed three times with binding buffer. Then, cells were solubilized by addition of 0.5 ml solubilization buffer (SDS, NaOH, EDTA). The content of each well was then transferred into beta-counter vials and 2.0 ml of Ultima Gold Scintillation liquid was added. After quantification of the cell-associated signal, extent of inhibition was calculated relative to maximal possible inhibition demonstrated by addition of excess of cold 2-methyl-S-ADP.
