1. Field of Invention
The present invention relates to compounds that have the property of reducing serum glucose and serum triglyceride levels in diabetic mammals without the undesirable properties of reducing serum thyroxine levels and transiently raising triglyceride levels. More particularly, the present invention relates to 7-[(7-alkoxy)-chrom-3-en-6-yl]-heptatrienoic acid and 7-[(3-alkoxy)-5,6-dihydronaphthalen-2-yl]-heptatrienoic acid derivatives having the above-noted biological property.
Compounds that have retinoid-like activity are well known in the art, and are described in numerous United States and other patents and in scientific publications. It is generally known and accepted in the art that retinoid-like activity is useful for treating animals of the mammalian species, including humans, for curing or alleviating the symptoms and conditions of numerous diseases and conditions. It is now general knowledge in the art that two main types of retinoid receptors exist in mammals (and other organisms). The two main types or families of receptors are respectively designated the RARs and RXRs. Within each type there are subtypes; in the RAR family the subtypes are designated RARα, RARβ, and RARγ, in RXR the subtypes are: RXRα, RXRβ and RXRγ. It has also been established in the art that the distribution of the two main retinoid receptor types, and of the several sub-types is not uniform in the various tissues and organs of mammalian organisms. Moreover, it is generally accepted in the art that many unwanted side effects of retinoids are mediated by one or more of the RAR receptor subtypes. Accordingly, among compounds having agonist-like activity at retinoid receptors, specificity or selectivity for one of the main types or families, and even specificity or selectivity for one or more subtypes within a family of receptors, is considered a desirable pharmacological property.
For a general overview of the retinoid receptors see Mangelsdorf et al. (1994) The Retinoid Receptors In: The Retinoids, edited by Sporn et al. p 319-349. Raven Press, Ltd., New York. For another general overview see Dawson and (?)Okamura, Chemistry and Biology of Synthetic Retinoids, published by CRC Press Inc., 1990, pages 324-356.
The following United States patents and other references disclose compounds that include a pentadienoic acid or heptatrienoic acid moiety attached to a chroman, chromene, tetrahydronaphthalene or dihydronaphthalene group, or related compounds with retinoid or like biological activity: U.S. Pat. Nos. 6,048,873; 6,147,224; 5,917,082, 5,677,320; 5721,103; 5,801,253; 6,326,397 and PCT Publications WO 97/12853 and WO 01/19770.
Relatively recently it has become known that certain retinoid compounds are capable of reducing serum glucose levels in diabetic mammals. Mukherjee, R.; Davies, P. J.; Crombie, D. L. Bishoff, E. D.; Cesario, R. M.; Jow Hamann, L. G.; Boehm, M. F.; Mondon, C. E.; Nadzan, A. M.; Paterniti, J. R. Jr.; Heyman, R. A. Sensitization of Diabetic and Obese Mice to Insulin by Retinoid X Receptor Agonists, Nature 1997, 386 (6623), 407-410. The compound (2E, 4E, 1′S, 2′S)-3-methyl-5-[2′-methyl-2′-(5,5,8,8-tetramethyl-5,6,7,8-tetrahydro-naphthalen-2-yl)-cyclopropyl]-penta-2,4-dienoic acid, described in U.S. Pat. No. 6,114,533, has this property. A disadvantage of the prior art retinoid compounds that reduce serum glucose levels is that their administration usually also results in the pharmacologically undesirable reduction of serum thyroxine levels and a transient increase in serum triglyceride levels. The present invention is directed to novel compounds that do not have one or both of these undesirable side effects.
The present invention generally relates to compounds of Formula 1
The present invention also relates to pharmaceutical compositions incorporating the compounds of Formula 1 and to methods of treatment of diabetic mammals with pharmaceutical compositions containing one or more compounds of Formula 1 to reduce serum glucose levels in said mammals.
The present invention also relates to the methods of using the compounds of the invention to treat diseases and conditions which are responsive to treatment by retinoids.
Definitions
The term alkyl refers to and covers any and all groups which are known as normal alkyl and branched-chain alkyl. In the case of an alkyl group of three carbons (propyl) the definition of “alkyl” also includes cyclopropyl that is abbreviated in the schemes and formulas, as applicable, as “cPr”.
A pharmaceutically acceptable salt may be prepared for any compound in this invention having a functionality capable of forming a salt, for example an acid functionality. A pharmaceutically acceptable salt is any salt that retains the activity of the parent compound and does not impart any deleterious or untoward effect on the subject to which it is administered and in the context in which it is administered.
Pharmaceutically acceptable salts may be derived from organic or inorganic bases. The salt may be a mono or polyvalent ion. Of particular interest are the inorganic ions, sodium, potassium, calcium, and magnesium. Organic salts may be made with amines, particularly ammonium salts such as mono-, di- and trialkyl amines or ethanol amines. Salts may also be formed with caffeine, tromethamine and similar molecules.
The compounds of the present invention include olephinic double bonds about which trans and cis (E and Z) stereoisomerism can exist. All orientations with regard to the olephinic bonds are within the scope of the invention, as is indicated by wavy lines in Formula 1. Nevertheless specific examples of the compounds of the present invention have the specific orientations of substituents relative to the double bonds as is indicated in the name of the respective compound, and/or by specific showing in the structural formula of the orientation of the substituents relative to the respective double bonds.
The compounds of the present invention may also contain one or more chiral centers and therefore may exist in enantiomeric and diastereomeric forms. With regard to the chiral centers which may exist in the compounds, the scope of the invention is intended to cover all possible orientations of the substituents relative to the chiral center or centers, thus including pure enantiomers (optical isomers), diastereomers, mixtures of diastereomers and racemic mixtures of enantiomers.
Generally speaking the compound of the invention can be obtained as shown in Reaction Schemes 1 and
In accordance with Reaction Scheme 1 a chroman, tetrahydrohydronaphthalene or indane derivative of Formula 2 is reacted with a Grignard reagent of the formula WMgBr, preferably in the presence of cerium (III) chloride (CeCl3), and thereafter with acid to form a chromene, dihydronaphthalene or indene derivative of Formula 3. The variables A, Y, E, m, n and W are defined as in Formula 1 with the exception that in this scheme W is not H. The starting compounds of Formula 2 are either available in accordance with the chemical scientific or patent literature, or by such modifications of these literature procedures which are well within the skill of the practicing organic chemist. Also, description of the specific embodiments below provide examples for obtaining exemplary compounds of Formula 2 by literature procedure or by synthesis. Additional compounds within the scope of Formula 2 can also be made by such modifications of the below described examples which will be within the skill of the practicing organic chemist in light of this disclosure.
Inasmuch as the presently preferred exemplary compounds of the invention are chromene and dihydronaphthalene derivatives, only these two condensed ring structures are mentioned further in connection with the further description of the invention, although it should be understood that the reactions shown in Reaction Schemes 1 and 2 are also applicable to the synthesis of indene derivatives within the broad scope of the invention.
The bromo substituted chromene or dihydronaphthalene derivative of Formula 3 is then reacted with tributyl(1-ethoxyvinyl)tin in the presence of dichlorobis(triphenylphosphine)palladium(II) and thereafter with acid to introduce an acetyl group in place of the bromo group and obtain a chromene or dihydronaphthalene derivative of Formula 4. Treatment of the compound of Formula 4 with boron tribromide removes the methyl group from the 7-position of the chromene, or from the 3 position of the dihydronaphthalene compound, as applicable, and provides a free hydroxyl function in its place. Treatment of this hydroxyl compound with an alkyl iodide (or other halide) of the formula ZI introduces the alkyl group Z (defined as in connection with Formula 1) into the molecule and provides the 7-alkoxy-chromene or 3-alkoxy-dihydronaphthalene derivative, as applicable, of Formula 5. Instead of the alkyl halide ZI other types of alkylating agents can also be used to introduce the alkyl group Z.
The compound of Formula 5 is then subjected to a Horner-Emmons reaction with the reagent triethyl-2-phosphonoacetate, triethyl-2-fluoro-2-phosphonoacetate, or like reagent shown in the scheme where the variable J represents hydrogen, halogen (preferably fluoro) or an alkyl group, as defined in connection with Formula 1. The reagents triethyl-2-phosphonoacetate and triethyl-2-fluoro-2-phosphonoacetate are available commercially (Aldrich).
The Horner-Emmons reaction is conducted in the presence of strong base, such as lithium di-iso-propylamide (LDA) as is indicated in the scheme, or n-butyllithium, in the presence of an inert solvent, such as tetrahydrofuran (THF) as indicated in the scheme, or in hexane.
The product of the Horner-Emmons reaction is a carboxylic acid ester compound of Formula 6 which is thereafter reduced to the primary alcohol level with a suitable reducing agent such as diisobutylaluminum hydride (DIBAL-H) to give a compound in accordance with Formula 7. The primary alcohol of Formula 7 is then oxidized to the aldehyde level by treatment with 4-methylmorpholine N-oxide (NMO) and tetrapropylammonium perruthenate (TPAP) to give a compound in accordance with Formula 8.
The aldehyde compound of Formula 8 is then subjected to still another Horner-Emmons reaction conducted in the presence of strong base (n-butyllithium) and 1,3-dimethyl-3,4,5,6-tetrahydro-2(1H)-pyrimidinone (DMPU) with the reagent ethyl 4-(diethoxyphosphoryl)-3-methylbut-2-enoate in THF or in other suitable inert solvent, to provide a 7-[(7-alkoxy)-chrom-3-en-6-yl]-heptatrienoic acid ethyl ester or 7-[(3-alkoxy)-5,6-dihydronaphthalen-2-yl]-heptatrienoic acid ethyl ester, as applicable, in accordance with Formula 9. Ethyl 4-(diethoxyphosphoryl)-3-methylbut-2E-enoate can be obtained in accordance with the literature reference: JOC, 1974, 39, 821, incorporated herein. Sometimes this reagent is also referred to as triethylphosphono-3-methyl-2E-butenoate. The compounds of Formula 9 are within the scope of the invention. They are saponified by treatment of sodium hydroxide (or other suitable base) to give free acid compounds, or their pharmaceutically acceptable salts in accordance with Formula 10. The free acids of Formula 10 can also be esterified by procedures well known in the art to obtain ester compounds, within the fall scope of the variable R4 in Formula 1.
It should be noted that Reaction Scheme 1 and all other reactions schemes of this specification, for the sake of simplicity and clarity of illustration, indicate the presently preferred specific orientation (cis) or (trans) of the applicable groups relative to each olephinic bond in the intermediate and final compounds. A person having ordinary skill in the art can obtain the compounds with different orientations based on the present description coupled with state-of-the-art knowledge regarding analogous reagents, reaction and separation techniques. Also, for the sake of simplicity and clarity of illustration the variable G in the 7 position of the heptatrienoic acid moiety of the compounds of Formula 1 is shown as methyl in Reaction Scheme 1. The variable J in the 3 position of the heptatrienoic acid moiety of the compounds of Formula 1 is also shown as methyl in Reaction Scheme 1 and in all other reactions schemes of this specification. Some of the specific reactions schemes below provide examples for the preparation of compounds of the invention where the variable G in the 7 position of the heptatrienoic acid moiety of the compounds of the invention is an alkyl group other than methyl.
Reaction Scheme 2 discloses an alternative general method for obtaining compounds of the invention. In accordance with this scheme an iodo-substituted allyl alcohol of Formula 11 serves as a starting material. In Formula 11 the variables G and J are defined as in connection with Formula 1. Examples for compounds of Formula 11 where the variable J is H and the variable G is methyl or ethyl are utilized for the synthesis of several preferred compounds of the invention. These examples are described in the specification of U.S. Pat. No. 6,147,224 which is expressly incorporated herein by reference.
The allyl alcohol of Formula 11 is oxidized to the aldehyde level by treatment with 4-methylmorpholine N-oxide (NMO) and tetrapropylammonium perruthenate (TPAP) and the resulting aldehyde is subjected to a Horner-Emmons reaction with the reagent ethyl 4-(diethoxyphosphoryl)-3-methylbut-2E-enoate in THF, hexane or in other suitable inert solvent, to provide a 7-iodo-substituted heptatrienoic acid ester of Formula 12.
Another starting material in this reaction scheme is a 6-bromo-substituted-chroman-4-one derivative, or a 2-bromo-substitituted tetrahydronaphthalen-8-one derivative, as applicable, of Formula 2, which can be obtained as described in connection with Reaction Scheme 1.
The bromo compound of Formula 2 is reacted with boron tribromide to remove the methyl group from the 7-position of the chroman-4-one or from the 3 position of the tetrahydronaphthalen-8-one derivative, as applicable, and the resulting free hydroxyl group is reacted with an alkyl iodide (or other halide) of the formula ZI to introduce the alkyl group Z (defined as in connection with Formula 1) into the molecule and to provide a 7-alkoxy-chroman-4-one or 3-alkoxy-tetrahydronaphthalen-8-one derivative, as applicable, in accordance with Formula 13. Instead of the alkyl halide ZI other types of alkylating agents can also be used to introduce the alkyl group Z.
The compound of Formula 13 is reacted with a Grignard reagent of the formula WMgBr, and thereafter with acid, such as para-toluenesulfonic acid (PTSA) to form a 6-bromo-chromene, or 2-bromodihydronaphthalene derivative, as applicable, in accordance with Formula 14. The bromo compound of Formula 14 is reacted with bis(pinacolato)diboron in the presence of potassium acetate and [1,1′-bis(disphenylphosphino)-ferrocene]dichloropalladium(II) complex in dichloromethane and dimethylformamide under an inert gas (argon) atmosphere. This reaction yields a mixture of the boronic ester compound of Formula 15 and the boronic acid analogue that is not shown in the reaction scheme. The mixture of the boronic ester compound of Formula 15 and of thethe boronic acid analogue is reacted with the reagent of Formula 12 in the presence of tetrakis(triphenylphosphine)palladium(0) and sodium carbonate in toluene and ethanol to provide a 7-[(7-alkoxy)-chrom-3-en-6-yl]-heptatrienoic acid ethyl ester or 7-[(3-alkoxy)-5,6-dihydronaphthalen-2-yl]-heptatrienoic acid ethyl ester, as applicable, in accordance with Formula 16. The compounds of Formula 16 are within the scope of the invention. They are saponified by treatment of sodium hydroxide (or other suitable base) to give free acid compounds, or their pharmaceutically acceptable salts in accordance with Formula 17.
It has been discovered in accordance with the present invention that compounds of this invention are capable of significantly reducing serum glucose levels and reducing or maintaining serum triglyceride levels in diabetic mammals, without the undesirable side effects of transiently raising triglyceride levels (hypertriglyceridemia) and in some cases without reducing serum thyroxine levels (hypothyroidism). The compounds of the invention were tested in certain assays for activity as agonists of RAR and RXR retinoid receptors. These assays demonstrated that the compounds of the invention are partial agonists of the RXR receptors.
Specifically, one such assay is a chimeric receptor transactivation assay which tests for agonist-like activity in the RARα, RARβ, and RARγ receptor subtypes, and which is based on work published by Feigner, P. L. and Holm, M. (1989) Focus, 112 is described in detail in U.S. Pat. No. 5,455,265. The specification of U.S. Pat. No. 5,455,265 is hereby expressly incorporated by reference.
A holoreceptor transactivation assay and a ligand binding assay which measure the antagonist/agonist like activity of the compounds of the invention, or their ability to bind to the several retinoid receptor subtypes, respectively, are described in published PCT Application No. WO WO93/11755 (particularly on pages 30-33 and 37-41) published on Jun. 24, 1993, the specification of which is also incorporated herein by reference. A detailed experimental procedure for holoreceptor transactivations has been described by Heyman et al. Cell 68, 397-406, (1992); Allegretto et al. J. Biol. Chem. 268, 26625-26633, and Mangelsdorf et al. The Retinoids: Biology, Chemistry and Medicine, pp 319-349, Raven Press Ltd., New York, which are expressly incorporated herein by reference. The results obtained in this assay are expressed in EC50 numbers, as they are also in the chimeric receptor transactivation assay. The results of the ligand binding assay are expressed in Ki numbers. (See Cheng et al. Biochemical Pharmacology Vol. 22 pp 3099-3108, expressly incorporated herein by reference.)
Efficacy in a transactivation assay is expressed as a percentage of the maximum potency attained by the compound compared to a standard which, in this case, is the compound named (2E, 4E, 1′S, 2′S)-3-methyl-5-[2′-methyl-2′-(5,5,8,8-tetramethyl-5,6,7,8-tetrahydro-naphthalen-2-yl)-cyclopropyl]-penta-2,4-dienoic acid. This standard compound is described in U.S. Pat. No. 6,114,533.
The specification of this application for patent is organized in several sections in accordance with structural Formulas A through F each of which discloses a group of preferred compounds within the scope of the invention. Tables that disclose the activity of certain exemplary compounds of the invention in the above-described RXR receptor transactivation and binding assays are found in the corresponding sections. Generally speaking, in the chimeric receptor transactivation assay the compounds were essentially inactive in activating RARα, RARβ, and RARγ receptors. The transactivation data pertaining to the activation of RXR receptors were obtained in the holoreceptor assay.
Generally speaking, in the tables disclosing the results of transactivation and binding assays the numbers in parentheses indicate efficacy as a percentage compared to the standard compound, (2E, 4E, 1′S, 2′S)-3-methyl-5-[2′-methyl-2′-(5,5,8,8-tetramethyl-5,6,7,8-tetrahydro-naphthalen-2-yl)-cyclopropyl]-penta-2,4-dienoic acid and the other numbers indicate the measured EC50 and Ki in nanomolar concentration.
An assay described below tests the effect of compounds of the invention on serum glucose, triglyceride and thyroxine levels in female 9-10 weeks old db/db mice.
Description of Assay.
Female diabetic db/db (9-10 weeks old) mice were maintained on standard laboratory food and treated by oral gavage with vehicle (corn oil), standard compound (2E, 4E, 1′S, 2′S)-3-methyl-5-[2′-methyl-2′-(5,5,8,8-tetramethyl-5,6,7,8-tetrahydro-naphthalen-2-yl)-cyclopropyl]-penta-2,4-dienoic acid (5 mg/kg) or the test compound (5-100 mg/kg, as described in Table 2) daily for seven days at 8:00 AM. Blood samples (70 μl) were taken by orbital bleeding at 11:00 AM on day 0 (pre-treatment), day 3, and day 6. On day 7, a blood sample (700 μl) was taken at 11:00 AM and the animals were sacrificed. Glucose, triglyceride and thyroxine (T4) levels were determined on a Boehringer Manheim Hatachi Clinical Chemistry Analyzer using standard protocols provided by the manufacturer and reagents that were supplied in commercially available kits (glucose and T4: Boehringer Manheim; triglycerides: Roche Diagnostics). Seven animals were treated in each group. As noted above, the specification of this application for patent is organized in several sections in accordance with structural Formulas A through F each of which discloses a group of preferred compounds within the scope of the invention. Tables that disclose the activity of certain exemplary compounds of the invention in the above-described assay testing the effect of compounds of the invention on serum glucose, triglyceride and thyroxine levels are found in the corresponding sections. Any modification of the assay procedure, if applicable, is also indicated in the corresponding section.
As the data in the tables below indicate the compounds of the invention not only cause significant decrease in serum glucose levels and maintain or reduce triglyceride levels in diabetic mammals but, in contrast with the prior art standard compound (2E, 4E, 1′S, 2′S)-3-methyl-5-[2′-methyl-2′-(5,5,8,8-tetramethyl-5,6,7,8-tetrahydro-naphthalen-2-yl)-cyclopropyl]-penta-2,4-dienoic acid, do not have the undesirable side effect of reducing serum thyroxine levels.
To treat diabetic mammals, including humans for the purpose of reducing serum glucose levels in said mammals a pharmaceutical composition containing one or more compound of the invention is administered to the mammal in daily doses in the range of 1 to 100 mg per kg body weight of the mammal. Preferably the daily dose is between 10 to 50 mg per kg body weight of the mammal.
Generally speaking the compounds of the invention are also useful for preventing or treating diseases and conditions that are responsive to compounds that promote the expression of or bind to receptors belonging to the steroid or thyroid receptor superfamily. More specifically the compounds of the invention can be used for preventing or treating skin-related diseases, including, without limitation, actinic keratoses, arsenic keratoses, inflammatory and non-inflammatory acne, psoriasis, ichthyoses and other keratinization and hyperproliferative disorders of the skin, eczema, atopic dermatitis, Darriers disease, lichen planus, prevention and reversal of glucocorticoid damage (steroid atrophy), as a topical anti-microbial, as skin anti-pigmentation agents and to treat and reverse the effects of age and photo damage to the skin. The compounds are also useful for the prevention and treatment of metabolic diseases and for prevention and treatment of cancerous and precancerous conditions, including, premalignant and malignant hyperproliferative diseases such as cancers of the breast, skin, prostate, cervix, uterus, colon, bladder, esophagus, stomach, lung, larynx, oral cavity, blood and lymphatic system, metaplasias, dysplasias, neoplasias, leukoplakias and papillomas of the mucous membranes and in the treatment of Kaposi's sarcoma. In addition, the present compounds can be used as agents to treat diseases of the eye, including, without limitation, proliferative vitreoretinopathy (PVR), retinal detachment, dry eye and other corneopathies, as well as in the treatment and prevention of various cardiovascular diseases, including, without limitation, diseases associated with lipid metabolism such as dyslipidemias, prevention of post-angioplasty restenosis and as an agent to increase the level of circulating tissue plasminogen activator (TPA). Other uses for the compounds of the present invention include the prevention and treatment of conditions and diseases associated with Human papilloma virus (HPV), including warts and genital warts, various inflammatory diseases such as pulmonary fibrosis, ileitis, colitis and Krohn's disease, neurodegenerative diseases such as Alzheimer's disease, Parkinson's disease and stroke, improper pituitary function, including insufficient production of growth hormone, modulation of apoptosis, including both the induction of apoptosis and inhibition of T-Cell activated apoptosis, restoration of hair growth, including combination therapies with the present compounds and other agents such as MinoxidilR, diseases associated with the immune system, including use of the present compounds as immunosuppressants and immunostimulants, modulation of organ transplant rejection and facilitation of wound healing, including modulation of chelosis.
To treat diabetes the compounds of this invention are preferably administered, orally.
For the prevention or treatment of other diseases or conditions the compounds of the invention may be administered systemically or topically, depending on such considerations as the condition to be treated, need for site-specific treatment, quantity of drug to be administered, and numerous other considerations. Thus, in the treatment of dermatoses, it will generally be preferred to administer the drug topically, though in certain cases such as treatment of severe cystic acne or psoriasis, oral administration may also be used. Any common topical formulation such as a solution, suspension, gel, ointment, or salve and the like may be used. Preparation of such topical formulations are well described in the art of pharmaceutical formulations as exemplified, for example, by Remington's Pharmaceutical Science, Edition 17, Mack Publishing Company, Easton, Pa. For topical application, these compounds could also be administered as a powder or spray, particularly in aerosol form. If the drug is to be administered systemically, it may be confected as a powder, pill, tablet or the like or as a syrup or elixir suitable for oral administration. For intravenous or intraperitoneal administration, the compound will be prepared as a solution or suspension capable of being administered by injection. In certain cases, it may be useful to formulate these compounds by injection. In certain cases, it may be useful to formulate these compounds in suppository form or as extended release formulation for deposit under the skin or intramuscular injection.
Other medicaments can be added to such topical formulation for such secondary purposes as treating skin dryness; providing protection against light; other medications for treating dermatoses; medicaments for preventing infection, reducing irritation, inflammation and the like.
Treatment of dermatoses or any other indications known or discovered to be susceptible to treatment by retinoic acid-like compounds will be effected by administration of the therapeutically effective dose of one or more compounds of the instant invention. A therapeutic concentration will be that concentration which effects reduction of the particular condition, or retards its expansion. In certain instances, the compound potentially may be used in prophylactic manner to prevent onset of a particular condition.
A useful therapeutic or prophylactic concentration will vary from condition to condition and in certain instances may vary with the severity of the condition being treated and the patient's susceptibility to treatment. Accordingly, no single concentration will be uniformly useful, but will require modification depending on the particularities of the disease being treated. Such concentrations can be arrived at through routine experimentation. However, it is anticipated that in the treatment of, for example, acne, or similar dermatoses, that a formulation containing between 0.01 and 1.0 milligrams per milliliter of formulation will constitute a therapeutically effective concentration for total application. If administered systemically, an amount between 1 and 50 mg per kg of body weight per day would be expected to effect a therapeutic result in the treatment of many diseases for which these compounds are useful.
