Amidinophenylalanine derivatives as thrombin inhibitors

TECHNICAL FIELD

[0001] The invention belongs to the field of pharmaceutical industry and relates to novel azaphenylalanine derivatives, procedures for their preparation and pharmaceutical compositions containing them. Novel azaphenylalanine derivatives have the enzymatic activity (serine proteases) and anticoagulant effect.

TECHNICAL PROBLEM

[0002] There exists a constant need for new medicinal products with anticoagulant activity that may be administered either orally or parenterally and that are highly selective and of low toxicity. Recently, low molecular weight thrombin inhibitors appear to be of growing importance in this area.

PRIOR ART

[0003] Thrombin as a serine protease is one of key enzymes in the processes of blood coagulation and in the development of thrombosis (Edit, J. F.; Allison, P.; Noble, S.; Ashton, J.; Golino, P.; McNard, J.; Buja, L. M.; Willerson, J. T., J. Clin. Invest. 1989, 84, 18.).

[0004] The crystalline structure of serine proteases of thrombin and serine is known (Bode, W.; Turk, D.; Karshikov, A. J., Protein Sci. 1992, 1, 426).

[0005] Currently used anticoagulant agents are toxic and of limited effectiveness.

[0006] Low molecular weight thrombin inhibitors should have selective efficacy and can be used in oral administration. There are reversible and irreversible thrombin antagonists (Kimball, S. D., Curr. Pharm. Design 1995, 1, 441, Das, J.; Kimball, S. D., Bioorg. Med. Chem. 1995, 3, 999, Kimball, S. D., Blood Coagulation and Fibrinolysis 1995, 6, 511, Breznik, M.; Peèar, S., Farm. Vestn. 1997, 48, 545, Sanderson, P. E. J.; Naylor-Olsen, A. M.; Current Med. Chem. 1998, 5, 289, Rewinkel, J. B. M.; Adang, A. E. P., Curr. Pharm. Design 1999,5,1043, Wiley, M. R.; Fisher, M. J.; Exp. Opin. Ther. Patents 1997, 7, 1265, Menear, K.; Current Med. Chem. 1998, 5, 457.

[0007] The majority of reversible thrombin antagonists derive from peptidomimetically modified structure D-Phe-Pro-Arg. The aim of the modification is to provide chemical stability, selectivity and effectiveness.

[0008] The active substance used in Japan and the USA is argatroban (Kikumoto, R.; Tamao, Y.; Tezuka, T.; Tonomura, S.; Hara, H., Ninomiya, K.; Hijikata, A.; Okamoto, S., Biochemistry 1984, 23, 85).

[0009] Amidinophenylalanine derivatives and aminopyridylalanine derivatives have selective antithrombotic activity (Danilewicz, J., et al. WO 95/13274 (1995)).

[0010] By replacing amidino-pyperidine P1 group with a weakly basic 2-amino-6-metylpyridine structure, a selective and effective thrombin inhibitor that can be used in oral administration has been obtained (Sanderson, P. E. J.; et al., Bioorg. Med. Chem. 1998, 8, 817).

[0011] SI 20025 describes thrombin inhibitors which are the derivatives of azaphenylalanine.

[0012] Accordingly, the object of the present invention is to overcome the problems encountered in the prior art.

[0016] R1 represents a residue of the formula

[0017] wherein R4=H, alkyl (C1-C3), OH, O-alkyl (C1-C3), NH2;

[0030] In comparison to the compounds, described in SI 20025, the compounds of the present invention are of greater activity. Ki thrombin (μM) of the compound a, according to the patent SI 20025, is 0.032, Ki thrombin (μM) of the compound b, according to the present invention, is 0.005.

[0031] The invention also particularly relates to a process for the preparation of azaphenylalanine derivatives and analogs of the general formula (I).

[0032] They may be suitably prepared as follows:

[0033] a) 3-cyanobenzaldehyde of formula (II)

[0034] is converted with BOC-carbazate of the formula (III)

[0035] to the compound of the formula (IV),

[0036] which is subjected to reduction by catalytic hydrogenation or with NaCNBH3 and is converted to the compound (V),

[0037] which reacts with triphosgene and amine of the formula (VI),

[0038] wherein R5 and R6 have the same meanings as in the formula (I),

[0039] or with triphosgene and amine of the formula (VII or VIII),

[0040] or with triphosgene and amine of the formula (IX),

[0041] wherein R7 and R8 have the same meanings as in the formula (I),

[0042] or with triphosgene and amine of the formula (X),

[0043] wherein R10 has the same meaning as in the formula (I),

[0044] in “one pot” reaction to the compound (XI)

[0045] wherein R2 has the same meaning as in the formula (I).

[0046] The protecting BOC group in the compound (XI) is removed with HCl (g) in HOAc at room temperature to obtain the compound (XII),

[0047] wherein R2 has the same meanings as in the formula (I)

[0048] which reacts with aromatic sulfonylchloride up to the compound (XIII),

[0049] wherein R2 and R3 have the same meanings as in the formula (I).

[0050] The compound (XIII) is converted to the compound of the formula (I)

[0051] in a usual manner. This can be achieved e.g. by converting compound (XIII) by addition of a hydroxylamine and an anhydrous alcohol such as e.g.—ethanol or a mineral acid such as e.g. HCl(g) and e.g. ammonium acetate, thus obtaining compound (I).

[0052] When the compound (XIII) reacts with hydroxylamine in anhydrous ethanol, R4 denotes OH group, after the reaction of the compound (XIII) with HCl (g) and ammonium acetate R4 denotes hydrogen.

[0053] The starting compounds are prepared, unless otherwise directed, according to the procedures described in the literature; e.g., the compound of the formula IV as described by A. Fäissler, et. al., J. Med. Chem. 1996, 39, 3203-3215.

[0054] The invention further relates to the use of compounds of the formula I as therapeutically active compounds. The novel compounds are preferably thrombin inhibitors. They inhibit thrombin and formation of fibrin. They are useful in the treatment or prevention of a variety of thrombosis forms: (i) venous thromboembolism due to formation of a thrombus within a vein (venous thrombosis) associated with acquired (prolonged bedrest, surgery, injury, malignancy, pregnancy and postpartum states or inherited (deficiency of natural coagulation inhibitors) risk factors, obstruction or occlusion of a lung artery by a detached thrombus (pulmonary embolism), (ii) cardiogenic thromboembolism due to formation of a thombus in the heart associated with cardiac arrythmia, heart valve defect, prosthetic heart valves or heart disease, embolism of peripheral arteries caused by a detached thrombus, most commonly in the brain (ischemic stroke), (iii) arterial thrombosis due to underlying atherosclerotic processes in the arteries which obstructs or occludes an artery and causes myocardial ischemia (angina pectoris, acute coronary syndrome) or heart muscle death cell (myocardial infarction), obstructs or occludes a peripheral artery (ischemic peripheral artery disease) and obstructs or occludes the artery after the procedure on the blood vessel (reocclusion or restenosis after transluminal coronary angioplasty, reocclusion or restenosis after percutaneous transluminal angioplasty of peripheral arteries) and (iv) in the number of states (e.g., in complications in pregnancy, in metastazing malignant diseases, after extensive injuries, in bacterial sepsis) when thrombogenic activation causes widespread formation of thrombi within the vascular system (disseminated intravascular coagulation).

[0055] The compounds of the present invention may be also used as an adjunct therapy in conjunction with thrombolytic therapy in recent myocardial infarction, in combination with aspirin in patients with unstable angina pectoris designed to undergo percutaneous transluminal angioplasty and in the treatment of patients with thrombosis and with heparin-induced thrombocytopenia.

[0056] The compounds of the present invention may further be used for the prevention of coagulation of blood which is in contact with nonbiological surfaces (vascular prosthesis, vascular stents, prosthetic heart valves, extracorporeal circulation systems, hemodialysis) and in vitro to prevent coagulation in biological samples for testing or storage.

[0057] The present invention also relates particularly to pharmaceutical compositions comprising the compounds of the formula I. They can be formulated as injectable or oral formulations. The active drug component may be combined with suitable standard additives with respect to the intended form of administration. The pharmaceutical compositions may be prepared according to the standard procedures. The preparation may be formulated in such a manner as to permit controlled and sustained release of the active ingredient. Dosage, frequency and mode of administration depend on a variety of factors, they also depend on individual active ingredient and its pharmacokinetic parameters and on the patient's therapeutic needs.

[0058] In Vitro Assays for Determining Proteinase Inhibition

[0059] Coagulation Assays

[0060] The Anticoagulant effect of thrombin inhibitors was measured by thrombin time (TT), activated partial thromboplastin time (aPTT), and prothrombin time (PT) assays. Inhibitors were added to normal pooled human plasma over a range of concentrations and clotting was recorded in an automated coagulometer (Fibrintimer, Dade/Behring). The concentration of inhibitor that doubled the clotting time was determined for each assay.

[0061] 1. Thrombin Time (TT)

[0062] a) Principle of Method

[0063] In a plasma sample thrombin converts fibrinogen into fibrin and the clot is formed. The time for clot formation was measured. Thrombin time is prolonged due to disorders in fibrin polymerisation or due to the presence of thrombin inhibitors.

[0064] b) Reagents

[0065] Thrombin (Test Thrombin Reagent, 1.5 IU/mL, Dade/Behring): lyophilized bovine thrombin was dissolved in 5 mL of HEPES (25 mmol/L, pH 7.4). The reagent was warmed to 37° C. prior to the assay.

[0066] Normal pooled plasma: venous blood from 11 apparently healthy volunteers was collected (1 part 0.11 mol/L sodium citrate solution with 9 parts of blood) and centrifuged immediately at 2000×g for 30 minutes at 4° C. Plasma was removed, pooled and stored in aliquots at −70° C. until use.

[0067] Inhibitors: were dissolved in DMSO (10 mM stock solution) and diluted with distilled water to working solutions (the highest concentration 100 μM).

[0068] c) Method

[0069] Inhibitors (10 μL working solution, concentrations from 2.5 μM to 100 μM) and pooled plasma (90 μL) were incubated at 37° C. for 5 minutes and then thrombin (200 μL) was added. Clot formation was measured in a coagulometer in duplicate.

[0070] 2. Activated Partial Thromboplastin Time (aPTT)

[0071] a) Principle of Method

[0072] Incubation of plasma with the optimal quantity of phospholipids and a surface activator leads to activation of factors of the intrinsic coagulation pathway. The addition of calcium ions triggers the coagulation process. The time of fibrin clot formation wass measured. aPTT was used as a screening test for coagulation disorders of the intrinsic coagulation pathway. It is prolonged due to intrinsic coagulation factors deficit or due to the presence of inhibitors.

[0073] b) Reagents

[0074] Pathromtin SL (Dade/Behring): silicon dioxide particles, vegetable phospholipids, sodium chloride (2.4 g/L), Hepes (14.3 g/L, pH 7.6), sodium azide (<1 g/L). The reagent was used at room temperature (15-25° C.).

[0075] Calcium chloride solution: 0.025 mol/L, warmed to 37° C.

[0076] Normal pooled plasma: venous blood from 11 apparently healthy volunteers was collected (1 part 0.11 mol/L sodium citrate solution with 9 parts of blood) and centrifuged immediately at 2000×g for 30 minutes at 4° C. Plasma was removed, pooled and stored in aliquots at −70° C. until use.

[0077] Inhibitors: were dissolved in DMSO (10 mM stock solution) and diluted with distilled water to working solutions (the highest concentration 100 μM).

[0078] c) Method

[0079] Inhibitor (10 μL working solution, concentrations from 5 μM to 100 μM) and pooled plasma (90 μL) were incubated at 37° C. for 5 minutes. Pathromtin (100 μL) was added and the sample was incubated for another 2 minutes at 37° C. The addition of calcium chloride (100 μL) triggered the coagulation process and clot formation was detected with a coagulometer in duplicate.

[0080] 3. Prothrombin Time (PT)

[0081] a) Principle of Method

[0082] An optimal amount of thromboplastin and calcium are added to plasma sample and the time of fibrin clot formation wass measured. PT is a rapid, sensitive screening test for coagulation disorders of the extrinsic pathway. It is well suited for the induction and monitoring of oral anticoagulant therapy, for diagnosing genetic or acquired deficiencies in coagulation factors and checking the synthesis performance of the liver in hepatic diseases. PT is prolonged due to extrinsic coagulation factors deficit or due to the presence of inhibitors.

[0083] b) Reagents

[0084] Thromboplastin (Thromborel S, Dade/Behring): was dissolved in 4 mL of distilled water. Reagent was at 37° C. prior to use at least 30 minutes.

[0085] Normal pooled plasma: venous blood from 11 apparently healthy volunteers was collected (1 part 0.11 mol/L sodium citrate solution with 9 parts of blood) and centrifuged immediately at 2000×g for 30 minutes at 4° C. Plasma was removed, pooled and stored in aliquots at −70° C. until use.

[0086] Inhibitors: were dissolved in DMSO (10 mM stock solution) and diluted with distilled water to working solutions (the highest concentration 100 μM).

[0087] c) Method

[0088] Inhibitor (10 μL working solution, concentrations from 5 μM to 100 μM) and pooled plasma (90 μL) were incubated at 37° C. for 5 minutes and then Thromborel S (200 μL) was added. Clot formation was measured with a coagulometer in duplicate.

[0089] Enzyme Assay

[0090] The enzyme inhibitory effect of the compounds can be identified by determination of inhibition constant Ki. It denotes the degree of dissociation of the enzyme-inhibitor complex. Low dissociation constant means high potency of inhibitor. Ki can be determined during reaction of the enzyme with a specific chromogenic substrate which under hydrolysis by the enzyme develops color. Reaction in time is recorded by spectrophotometry and Ki is calculated from kinetic parameters (Vmax, Km, reaction rate).

[0091] 1. Determination of Thrombin Ki

[0092] a) Principle of Method

[0093] The ability of a compound to act as an inhibitor of human thrombin catalytic activity was assessed by determination of Ki.

[0094] b) Reagents

[0095] Buffer HBSA, pH 7.5 (10 mM Hepes, 150 mM NaCl, 0.1% w/v bovine serum albumin)

[0096] Substrate (S-2238: H-D-Phe-Pip-Arg-pNA HCl, 25 mg; Chromogenix): dissolved in distilled water to 1 mM concentration. (Km is 2.6 μM)

[0097] Human thrombin (308 NIH; Sigma): dissolved in saline to give a stock solution of 20 NIH/mL.

[0098] Inhibitors: were dissolved in DMSO (10 mM stock solution) and diluted with distilled water to working solutions (the highest final concentration of DMSO was 3%).

[0099] c) Method

[0100] A mixture of 50 μL of buffer, 50 μL of inhibitor in water (final concentrations from 10 to 100 μM) and 50 μL of thrombin (0.5 NIH U/mL f.c.) was incubated for 15 minutes at room temperature. The reaction was started with 50 μL of S-2238 (20 μM or 40 μM f.c.) and the absorbance of each sample at 405 nm (at 25° C.) was measured in triplicate every 10 seconds for a period of 15 minutes using a microtiter plate reader (Tecan Sunrise).

[0101] Thrombin activity was determined from the change in absorbance in the linear part of the velocity graph. Ki was calculated according to Cheng and Prussof (Biochem Pharmacol, 1973) where Ki is IC50/(1+S/Km). The Km for the substrate was determined under the test conditions with at least 6 substrate concentrations varying around Km and calculated with the non-linear regression programme Curve expert.

[0102] 2. Determination of Trypsin Ki

[0103] a) Principle

[0104] The ability of a compound to act as an inhibitor of trypsin catalytic activity was assessed by determination of Ki.

[0105] b) Reagents

[0106] Buffer: HBSA, pH 7.5 (10 mM Hepes, 150 mM NaCl, 0.1% w/v bovine serum albumin)

[0107] Substrate (S-2222: N-benzoyl-lle-Glu-Gly-Arg-pNA HCl, 25 mg; Chromogenix): dissolved in distilled water to 2 mM concentration. (Km is 21 μM)

[0108] Trypsin (6000 E/mg prot.; Sigma): dissolved in distilled water to give a stock solution of 300 E/mL.

[0109] Inhibitors: were dissolved in DMSO (10 mM stock solution) and diluted with distilled water to working solution (the highest final concentration of DMSO was 10%).

[0110] c) Method

[0111] 50 μL of buffer, 50 μL of test compound in water (final concentrations from 50 to 300 μM) and 50 μL of trypsin (3 mE/mL f.c.) were incubated for 15 minutes at room temperature. The reaction was started with 50 μL of S-2222 (50 μM or 100 μM f.c.) and the absorbance of each sample at 405 nm (at 25° C.) was measured in triplicates every 10 seconds for a period of 15 minutes using a microtiter plate reader (Tecan Sunrise).

[0112] Trypsin activity was determined from the change in absorbance in the linear part of velocity graph. Ki was calculated according to Cheng and Prussof (Biochem Pharmacol, 1973) where Ki is IC50/(1+S/Km). The Km for the substrate was determined under test conditions with at least 6 substrate concentrations varying around Km and calculated with the non-linear regression program Curve expert.

[0113] 3. Selectivity to Thrombin

[0114] By the use of other serine protease like trypsin with the appropriate chromogenic substrate, selectivity of inhibitors with respect to thrombin was determined. Selectivity of an inhibitor is expressed as a ratio of Ki for trypsin to Ki for thrombin.

[0115] In vivo Assays

[0116] 1. Stasis-Induced Thrombosis

[0117] Principle of Method

[0118] Using a combination of thrombogenic challenge (0.045 ng/kg of tissue factor) and stasis, compounds were tested for their abillity to affect thrombus formation in a venous thrombosis model in the rat.

[0119] Method

[0120] Thrombus formation by a combination of stasis and hypercoagulability was induced as described by Vogel et al. (Thromb. Res., 1989, 54, 399410). Male sprague-Dawley rats (250-300 g) were anaesthetized with sodium pentobarbitone (30 mg/kg, i.p.). The abdomen of the animals was surgically opened and after careful dissection, the vena cava was exposed and dissected free from surrounding tissue. Saline, or the various compounds were administered i.v. 5 min before thrombosis induction. Two loose sutures were prepared 0.7 cm apart on the inferior vena cava and all collateral veins were ligated. Human tissue factor (0.045 ng/kg, i.v.) was injected into the dorsal vein of the penis. Ten seconds after the end of the injection, stasis were established by tightening the two, firstly the proximal and then the distal. The abdominal cavity was provisionally closed and stasis was maintained for 20 minutes. The cavity was then reopened, the ligated segment was opened longitudinally and the thrombus formed was removed, rinsed, blotted on filter paper, dried overnight at 60° C. and weighed. Under these experimental conditions, control thrombus weight was 5.5±0.1 mg (n=15).

[0121] 2. Bleeding Time

[0122] Principle of Method

[0123] The hemorrhagic risk associated to a treatment with selected compounds were determined using an experimental model of bleeding: transection of the tail of rats.

[0124] Method

[0125] Bleeding time was determined by transection of the tail, 2 mm from the tip, of phenobarbital-anaestetised rats (30 mg/kg i.p.). The compounds were injected i.v. at the indicated doses 5 min before tail transection. Blood was carefully blotted every 15 s on a filter paper. Haemostasis was considered to be achieved when no more blood stain was observed over 1 min.
