BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION
The present invention relates generally to the aging of proteins resulting from their reaction with glucose and other reducing sugars, and more particularly, to the inhibition of the reaction of nonenzymatically glycosylated proteins and the often resultant formation of advanced glycosylation endproducts and cross-links.
The reaction between glucose and proteins has been known for some time. Its earliest manifestation was in the appearance of brown pigments during the cooking of food, which was identified by Maillard in 1912, who observed that glucose or other reducing sugars react with amino acids to form adducts that undergo a series of dehydrations and rearrangements to form stable brown pigments. Maillard, C.R. Acad. Sci., 154, pp. 66-68, (1912). Further studies have suggested that stored and heat treated foods undergo nonenzymatic browning as a result of the reaction between glucose and the polypeptide chain, and that the proteins are resultingly cross-linked and correspondingly exhibit decreased bioavailability.
This reaction between reducing sugars and food proteins was found to have its parallel in vivo. Thus, the nonenzymatic reaction between glucose and the free amino groups on proteins to form a stable, 1-deoxyketosyl adduct, known as the Amadori product, has been shown to occur with hemoglobin, wherein a rearrangement of the amino terminal of the beta-chain of hemoglobin by reaction with glucose, forms the adduct known as hemoglobin A.sub.1c. The reaction has also been found to occur with a variety of other body proteins, such as lens crystallins, collagen and nerve proteins. See, Bucala et al., "Advanced Glycosylation: Chemistry, Biology, and Implications for Diabetes and Aging," in Advances in Pharmacology, Vol. 23, pp. 1-34, Academic Press (1992).
Moreover, brown pigments with spectral and fluorescent properties similar to those of late-stage Maillard products have also been observed in vivo in association with several long-lived proteins, such as lens proteins and collagen from aged individuals. An age-related linear increase in pigment was observed in human dura collagen between the ages of 20 to 90 years. Interestingly, the aging of collagen can be mimicked in vitro by the cross-linking induced by glucose; and the capture of other proteins and the formation of adducts by collagen, also noted, is theorized to occur by a cross-linking reaction, and is believed to account for the observed accumulation of albumin and antibodies in kidney basement membrane.
In parent application Ser. No. 798,032, now U.S. Pat. No. 4,758,583, a method and associated agents were disclosed that served to inhibit the formation of advanced glycosylation endproducts by reacting with the early glycosylation product that results from the original reaction between the target protein and glucose. Accordingly, inhibition was postulated to take place as the reaction between the inhibitor and an early glycosylation product appeared to interrupt the subsequent reaction of the glycosylated protein with additional protein material to form the cross-linked late stage product. One of the agents identified as an inhibitor was aminoguanidine, and the results of further testing have borne out its efficacy in this regard.
While the success that has been achieved with aminoguanidine and similar compounds is promising, a need continues to exist to identify and develop additional inhibitors that broaden the availability and perhaps the scope of this potential activity and its diagnostic and therapeutic utility.
SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION
In accordance with the present invention, a method and compositions are disclosed for the inhibition of the advanced glycosylation of proteins (protein aging). In particular, the compositions comprise agents for inhibiting nonenzymatic cross-linking (protein aging) due to the formation of advanced glycosylation endproducts. The agents may be selected from those materials capable of reacting with the early glycosylation product from the reaction of glucose with proteins and preventing further reactions. Cross-linking caused by other reactive sugars present in vivo or in foodstuffs, including ribose, galactose and fructose would also be prevented by the methods and compositions of the present invention.
The agents comprise compounds having the following structural formula: ##STR1## wherein R.sub.1 is a hydroxy, lower alkoxy, amino or hydrazino group, or a group of the formula
--NR.sub.4 R.sub.5,
wherein R.sub.4 is hydrogen or lower alkyl, and R.sub.5 is an alkyl group of 1-20 carbon atoms, an aryl group, a hydroxy lower alkyl group, a cycloloweralkyl group or a heterocyclic group containing 4-7 ring members and 1-3 heteroatoms; or R.sub.4 and R.sub.5 together with the nitrogen form a morpholino, piperidinyl, or piperazinyl group; or when R.sub.4 is hydrogen, then R.sub.5 can also be a hydroxy group;
R.sub.2 is 0-3 amino or nitro groups, and/or a hydrazino group, a hydrazinosulfonyl group, a hydroxyethylamino or an amidino group;
R.sub.3 is hydrogen or one or two fluoro, hydroxy, lower alkoxy, carboxy, loweralkylamino, dilower alkylamino or hydroxy loweralkylamino groups;
with the proviso that when R.sub.1 is hydroxy or lower alkoxy, then R.sub.3 is a non-hydrogen substituent;
with the further proviso that when R.sub.1 is hydrazino, then there must be at least two non-hydrogen substituents on the phenyl ring;
and with the further proviso that when R.sub.3 is hydrogen, then R.sub.5 can also be an aminoimino, guanidyl, aminoguanidinyl or diaminoguanidyl group;
their pharmaceutically acceptable acid addition salts and hydrates; and mixtures thereof, and
a carrier therefor.
The compounds utilized in the compositions of this invention appear to react with an early glycosylation product thereby preventing the same from later forming the advanced glycosylation end products which lead to protein cross-links, and thereby, to protein aging.
The present invention also relates to a method for inhibiting protein aging by contacting the initially glycosylated protein at the stage of the early glycosylation product with a quantity of one or more of the agents of the present invention, or a composition containing the same. In the instance where the present method has industrial application, one or more of the agents may be applied to the proteins in question, either by introduction into a mixture of the same in the instance of a protein extract, or by application or introduction into foodstuffs containing the protein or proteins, all to prevent premature aging and spoilage of the particular foodstuffs.
The ability to inhibit the formation of advanced glycosylation endproducts carries with it significant implications in all applications where protein aging is a serious detriment. Thus, in the area of food technology, the retardation of food spoilage would confer an obvious economic and social benefit by making certain foods of marginal stability less perishable and therefore more available for consumers. Spoilage would be reduced as would the expense of inspection, removal, and replacement, and the extended availability of the foods could aid in stabilizing their price in the marketplace. Similarly, in other industrial applications where the perishability of proteins is a problem, the admixture of the agents of the present invention in compositions containing such proteins would facilitate the extended useful life of the same. Presently used food preservatives and discoloration preventatives such as sulfur dioxide, known to cause toxicity including allergy and asthma in animals, can be replaced with compounds such as those described herein.
The present method has particular therapeutic application as the Maillard process acutely affects several of the significant protein masses in the body, among them collagen, elastin, lens proteins, and the kidney glomerular basement membranes. These proteins deteriorate both with age (hence the application of the term "protein aging") and as a consequence of diabetes. Accordingly, the ability to either retard or substantially inhibit the formation of advanced glycosylation endproducts carries the promise of treatment for diabetes and, of course, improving the quality and, perhaps, duration of animal life.
The present agents are also useful in the area of personal appearance and hygiene, as they prevent the staining of teeth by cationic anti-microbial agents with anti-plaque properties, such as chlorhexidine.
Accordingly, it is a principal object of the present invention to provide a method for inhibiting the extensive cross-linking of proteins that occurs as an ultimate consequence of the reaction of the proteins with glucose and other reactive sugars, by correspondingly inhibiting the formation of advanced glycosylation endproducts.
It is a further object of the present invention to provide a method as aforesaid which is characterized by a reaction with an initially glycosylated protein identified as an early glycosylation product.
It is a further object of the present invention to provide a method as aforesaid which prevents the rearrangement and cross-linking of the said early glycosylation products to form the said advanced glycosylation endproducts.
It is a yet further object of the present invention to provide agents capable of participating in the reaction with the said early glycosylation products in the method as aforesaid.
It is a still further object of the present invention to provide therapeutic methods of treating the adverse consequences of protein aging by resort to the aforesaid method and agents.
It is a still further object of the present invention to provide a method of inhibiting the discoloration of teeth by resort to the aforesaid method and agents.
It is a still further object of the present invention to provide compositions including pharmaceutical compositions, all incorporating the agents of the present invention.
It is a still further object of the present invention to provide novel compounds useful in the methods of this invention, as well as processes for their preparation.

The above compounds are capable of inhibiting the formation of advanced glycosylation endproducts on target proteins. The cross-linking of the protein to form the advanced glycosylation endproduct contributes to the entrapment of other proteins and results in the development in vivo of conditions such as reduced elasticity and wrinkling of the skin, certain kidney diseases, atherosclerosis, osteoarthritis and the like.
Similarly, plant material that undergoes nonenzymatic browning deteriorates and, in the case of foodstuffs, become spoiled or toughened and, consequently, inedible. Thus, the compounds employed in accordance with this invention inhibit this late stage Maillard effect and intervene in the deleterious changes described above.
The rationale of the present invention is to use agents which block the post-glycosylation step, i.e., the formation of fluorescent chromophores, the presence of which chromophores is associated with, and leads to adverse sequelae of diabetes and aging. An ideal agent would prevent the formation of the chromophore and its associate cross-links of proteins to proteins and trapping of proteins on the other proteins, such as occurs in arteries and in the kidney.
The chemical nature of the early glycosylation products with which the compounds of the present invention are believed to react, may vary, and accordingly, the term "early glycosylation product(s)" as used herein is intended to include any and all such variations within its scope. For example, early glycosylation products with carbonyl moieties that are involved in the formation of advanced glycosylation endproducts, and that may be blocked by reaction with the compounds of the present invention, have been postulated. In one embodiment, it is envisioned that the early glycosylation product may comprise the reactive carbonyl moieties of Amadori products or their further condensation, dehydration and/or rearrangement products, which may condense to form advanced glycosylation endproducts. In another scenario, reactive carbonyl compounds, containing one or more carbonyl moieties (such as glycolaldehyde, glyceraldehyde or 3-deoxyglucosone) may form from the cleavage of Amadori or other early glycosylation endproducts, and by subsequent reactions with an amine or Amadori product, may form carbonyl containing advanced glycosylation products such as alkylformyl-glycosylpyrroles.
Several investigators have studied the mechanism of advanced glycosylation product formation. In vitro studies by Eble et al., (1983), "Nonenzymatic Glucosylation and Glucose-dependent Cross-linking of Protein", J. Biol. Chem., 258:9406-9412, concerned the cross-linking of glycosylated protein with nonglycosylated protein in the absence of glucose. Eble et al. sought to elucidate the mechanism of the Maillard reaction and accordingly conducted controlled initial glycosylation of RNAase as a model system, which was then examined under varying conditions. In one aspect, the glycosylated protein material was isolated and placed in a glucose-free environment and thereby observed to determine the extent of cross-linking.
Eble et al. thereby observed that cross-linking continued to occur not only with the glycosylated protein but with non-glycosylated proteins as well. One of the observations noted by Eble et al. was that the reaction between glycosylated protein and the protein material appeared to occur at the location on the protein chain of the amino acid lysine. Confirmatory experimentation conducted by Eble et al. in this connection demonstrated that free lysine would compete with the lysine on RNAase for the binding of glycosylated protein. Thus, it might be inferred from these data that lysine may serve as an inhibitor of advanced glycosylation; however, this conclusion and the underlying observations leading to it should be taken in the relatively limited context of the model system prepared and examined by Eble et al. Clearly, Eble et al. does not appreciate, nor is there a suggestion therein, of the discoveries that underlie the present invention, with respect to the inhibition of advanced glycosylation of proteins both in vitro and in vivo.
The experiments of Eble et al. do not suggest the reactive cleavage product mechanism or any other mechanism in the in vivo formation of advanced glycosylation endproducts in which glucose is always present. In fact, other investigators support this mechanism to explain the formation of advanced glycosylated endproducts in vivo (see, for example, Hayase et al., J. Biol. Chem., 263, pp. 3758-3764 (1989); Sell and Monnier, J. Biol. Chem., 264, pp. 21597-21602 (1989); Oimomi et al., Agric. Biol. Chem., 53(6):1727-1728 (1989); and Diabetes Research and Clinical Practice, 6:311-313 (1989). Accordingly, the use of lysine as an inhibitor in the Eble et al. model system has no bearing upon the utility of the compounds of the present invention in the inhibition of advanced glycosylated endproducts formation in the presence of glucose in vivo, and the amelioration of complications of diabetes and aging.
The compositions useful in the present invention comprise or contain agents capable of reacting with the active carbonyl intermediate of an early glycosylation product. Suitable agents are the compounds of Formula I of the present invention.
The present invention likewise relates to methods for inhibiting the formation of advanced glycosylation endproducts, which comprise contacting the target proteins with a composition of the present invention. In the instance where the target proteins are contained in foodstuffs, whether of plant or animal origin, these foodstuffs could have applied to them by various conventional means a composition containing the present agents.
In the food industry, sulfites were found years ago to inhibit the Maillard reaction and are commonly used in processed and stored foods. Recently, however, sulfites in food have been implicated in severe and even fatal reactions in asthmatics. As a consequence, the sulfite treatment of fresh fruits and vegetables has been banned. The mechanism for the allergic reaction is not known. Accordingly, the present compositions and agents offer a nontoxic alternative to sulfites in the treatment of foods in this manner.
As is apparent from a discussion of the environment of the present invention, the present methods and compositions hold the promise for arresting the aging of key proteins both in animals and plants, and concomitantly, conferring both economic and medical benefits as a result thereof. In the instance of foodstuffs, the administration of the present composition holds the promise for retarding food spoilage thereby making foodstuffs of increased shelf life and greater availability to consumers. Replacement of currently-used preservatives, such as sulfur dioxide known to cause allergies and asthma in humans, with non-toxic, biocompatible compounds is a further advantage of the present invention.
The therapeutic implications of the present invention relate to the arrest of the aging process which has, as indicated earlier, been identified in the aging of key proteins by advanced glycosylation and cross-linking. Thus, body proteins, and particularly structural body proteins, such as collagen, elastin, lens proteins, nerve proteins, kidney glomerular basement membranes and other extravascular matrix components would all benefit in their longevity and operation from the practice of the present invention. The present invention thus reduces the incidence of pathologies involving the entrapment of proteins by cross-linked target proteins, such as retinopathy, cataracts, diabetic kidney disease, glomerulosclerosis, peripheral vascular disease, arteriosclerosis obliterans, peripheral neuropathy, stroke, hypertension, atherosclerosis, osteoarthritis, periarticular rigidity, loss of elasticity and wrinkling of skin, stiffening of joints, glomerulonephritis, etc. Likewise, all of these conditions are in evidence in patients afflicted with diabetes mellitus. Thus, the present therapeutic method is relevant to treatment of the noted conditions in patients either of advanced age or those suffering from one of the mentioned pathologies.
Protein cross-linking through advanced glycosylation product formation can decrease solubility of structural proteins such as collagen in vessel walls (see Brownlee et al., Science, 232, pp. 1629-1632, (1986)), and can also trap serum proteins, such as lipoproteins to the collagen. Also, this may result in increased permeability of the endothelium and consequently covalent trapping of extravasated plasma proteins in subendothelial matrix, and reduction in susceptibility of both plasma and matrix proteins to physiologic degradation by enzymes. (See Brownlee et al., Diabetes, 35, Suppl. 1, p. 42A (1986)). For these reasons, the progressive occlusion of diabetic vessels induced by chronic hyperglycemia has been hypothesized to result from excessive formation of glucose-derived cross-links. Such diabetic microvascular changes and microvascular occlusion can be effectively prevented by chemical inhibition of advanced glycosylation product formation utilizing a composition and the methods of the present invention.
Studies indicate that the development of chronic diabetic damage in target organs is primarily linked to hyperglycemia so that tight metabolic control would delay or even prevent end-organ damage. See Nicholls et al., Lab. Invest., 60, No. 4, p. 486 (1989), which discusses the effects of islet isografting and aminoguanidine in murine diabetic nephropathy. These studies further evidence that aminoguanidine diminishes aortic wall protein cross-linking in diabetic rats and confirm earlier studies by Brownlee et al., Science, 232, pp. 1629-1632 (1986) to this additional target organ of complication of diabetes. Also, an additional study showed the reduction of immunoglobulin trapping in the kidney by aminoguanidine (Brownlee et al., Diabetes, 35, Suppl. 1, p. 42A (1986)).
Further evidence in the streptozotocin-diabetic rat model that aminoguanidine administration intervenes in the development of diabetic nephropathy was presented by Brownlee et al., 1988, supra, with regard to morphologic changes in the kidney which are hallmarks of diabetic renal disease. These investigators reported that the increased glomerular basement membrane thickness, a major structural abnormality characteristic of diabetic renal disease, was prevented with aminoguanidine.
Taken together, these data strongly suggest that inhibition of the formation of advanced glycosylation endproducts (AGEs), by the teaching of the present invention, may prevent late, as well as early, structural lesions due to diabetes, as well as changes during aging caused by the formation of AGE's.
Diabetes-induced changes in the deformability of red blood cells, leading to more rigid cell membranes, is another manifestation of cross-linking and aminoguanidine has been shown to prevent it in vivo. In such studies, New Zealand White rabbits, with induced, long-term diabetes are used to study the effects of a test compound on red blood cell (RBC) deformability (df). The test compound is administered at a rate of 100 mg/kg by oral gavage to diabetic rabbits (Brown et al., Presentation of Abstract for Association for Academic Minority Physicians, Annual Scientific Meeting (1989)).
Increased cross-linking of collagen in diabetic rats has shown to be prevented by aminoguanidine. Oxlund and Andreassen, "The increase in biochemical and biomechanical stability of collagen in diabetic rats is prevented by aminoguanidine treatment", European Association for the Study of Diabetes, Twenty-fifth Annual Meeting, p. 525A, Abstract No. 371, 1989 showed the effect when thermal stability of tendon fibers was assessed by breaking time in a urea bath, as well as mechanical strength. Soulis et al., "Aminoguanidine reduces tissue fluorescence but not albuminuria in diabetic rats". NIH Conference on the Maillard Reaction in Aging, Diabetes, and Nutrition, Bethesda, Md., Sep. 22-23, 1988, page 30) showed the same effect on collagen in the aorta, measured by fluorescence and solubility.
Giambione and Brownlee, "Aminoguanidine Treatment Normalizes Increased Steady-state Levels of Laminin B1 mRNA in Kidneys of Long-term Streptozotocin-diabetic Rats" Diabetes, 38, Supplement 2:83A Forty-ninth Annual Meeting, American Diabetes Association (1989) showed that aminoguanidine treatment to diabetic rats prevents the diabetes-induced increase in laminin B.sub.1 mRNA in the kidney. This indicates that aminoguanidine may prevent overproduction of matrix, which leads to basement membrane thickening and morphologic and functional deterioration of vasculature in kidneys and other organs.
A further consequence of diabetes is the hyperglycemia-induced matrix bone differentiation resulting in decreased bone formation usually associated with chronic diabetes. In animal models, diabetes reduces matrix-induced bone differentiation by 70% (Am. J. Phys., 238 (1980)).
In the instance where the compositions of the present invention are utilized for in vivo or therapeutic purposes, it may be noted that the compounds or agents used therein are biocompatible. Pharmaceutical compositions may be prepared with a therapeutically effective quantity of the agents or compounds of the present invention and may include a pharmaceutically acceptable carrier, selected from known materials utilized for this purpose. Such compositions may be prepared in a variety of forms, depending on the method of administration. Also, various pharmaceutically acceptable addition salts of the compounds of Formula I may be utilized.
A liquid form would be utilized in the instance where administration is by intravenous, intramuscular or intraperitoneal injection. When appropriate, solid dosage forms such as tablets, capsules, or liquid dosage formulations such as solutions and suspensions, etc., may be prepared for oral administration. For topical or dermal application to the skin or eye, a solution, a lotion or ointment may be formulated with the agent in a suitable vehicle such as water, ethanol, propylene glycol, perhaps including a carrier to aid in penetration into the skin or eye. For example, a topical preparation could include up to about 10% of the compound of Formula I. Other suitable forms for administration to other body tissues are also contemplated.
In the instance where the present method has therapeutic application, the animal host intended for treatment may have administered to it a quantity of one or more of the agents, in a suitable pharmaceutical form.
Administration may be accomplished by known techniques, such as oral, topical and parenteral techniques such as intradermal, subcutaneous, intravenous or intraperitoneal injection, as well as by other conventional means. Administration of the agents may take place over an extended period of time at a dosage level of, for example, up to about 25 mg/kg.
As noted earlier, the invention also extends to a method of inhibiting the discoloration of teeth resulting from nonenzymatic browning in the oral cavity which comprises administration to a subject in need of such therapy an amount effective to inhibit the formation of advanced glycosylation endproducts of a composition comprising an agent of structural Formula I.
The nonenzymatic browning reaction which occurs in the oral cavity results in the discoloration of teeth. Presently used anti-plaque agents accelerate this nonenzymatic browning reaction and further the staining of the teeth. Recently, a class of cationic anti-microbial agents with remarkable anti-plaque properties have been formulated in oral rinses for regular use to kill bacteria in the mouth. These agents, the cationic antiseptics, include such agents as alexidine, cetyl pyridinium chloride, chlorhexidine gluconate, hexetidine, and benzalkonium chloride.
Tooth staining by chlorhexidine and other anti-plaque agents apparently results from the enhancement of the Maillard reaction. Nordbo, J. Dent. Res., 58, p. 1429 (1979) reported that chlorhexidine and benzalkonium chloride catalyze browning reactions in vitro. Chlorhexidine added to mixtures containing a sugar derivative and a source of amino groups underwent increased color formation, attributed to the Maillard reaction. It is also known that use of chlorhexidine results in an increased dental pellicle. Nordbo proposed that chlorhexidine resulted in tooth staining in two ways: first, by increasing formation of pellicle which contains more amino groups, and secondly, by catalysis of the Maillard reaction leading to colored products.
In accordance with this method, the compounds of Formula I are formulated into compositions adapted for use in the oral cavity. Particularly suitable formulations are oral rinses and toothpastes incorporating the active agent.
In the practice of this invention, conventional formulating techniques are utilized with nontoxic, pharmaceutically acceptable carriers typically utilized in the amounts and combinations that are well-known for the formulation of such oral rinses and toothpastes.
The agent of Formula I is formulated in compositions in an amount effective to inhibit the formation of advanced glycosylation endproducts. This amount will, of course, vary with the particular agent being utilized and the particular dosage form, but typically is in the range of 0.01% to 1.0%, by weight, of the particular formulation.
Additionally, since the agents of the aforesaid method are concentrated in the salivary glands upon oral ingestion or parenteral administration, they can be so administered. This concentration in the salivary glands results in their secretion into saliva, the net result being that they are functionally placed in the oral cavity where they can effect their desired method. For such administration, the particular agent can be formulated in any conventional oral or parenteral dosage form. A particularly desirable dosage form is the incorporation of the agent into a vitamin tablet or fluoride tablet so as to maximize patient, and particularly juvenile patient, compliance.

The 4-(carbamoyl)- or 4-(substituted carbamoyl) orthophenylenediamines of Formula I wherein R.sub.1 is an amino or --NR.sub.4 R.sub.5 group can be prepared according to the reaction Scheme I below: ##STR5##
Typically, the 3,4-dinitrobenzoic acid starting material is dissolved in an aprotic solvent such as benzene or toluene and refluxed with thionylchloride for a period of about 2-6 hours to form the desired 3,4-dinitrobenzoyl chloride.
The 3,4-dinitrobenzoyl chloride is then purified to remove traces of starting materials, and then redissolved in an aprotic solvent such as benzene or methylene chloride. To this mixture is added the appropriate primary or secondary amine of the formula R'.sub.1 --H wherein R'.sub.1 is an amino group or an --NR.sub.4 R.sub.5 group, along with triethylamine, or another suitable acid acceptor. Typically, this reaction is completed in 4-24 hours at room temperature, thus affording a 4-carbamoyl or 4-substituted carbamoyl-1,2-dinitrobenzene of Formula III.
The 3,4-dinitrobenzamide of Formula III is then subjected to conventional hydrogenation procedures, for instance, hydrogen gas using a 10% palladium-on-carbon catalyst, typically, at 40-60 psi, and at room temperature for 12-24 hours. Thus produced is the desired 4-(carbamoyl)- or 4-(substituted carbamoyl)orthophenylene diamines of Formula IV.
Optionally, the compounds of Formula IV are isolated as their acid addition salts by conventional treatment thereof, with, for instance, hydrogen chloride, to produce the corresponding hydrochloride salt.
An alternate route for the preparation of the 4-(substituted carbamoyl)-o-phenylenediamines of Formula I wherein R.sub.1 is an amino or --NR.sub.4 R.sub.5 group involves the reaction Scheme II below. ##STR6## In this reaction sequence, partially described by Kumar et al., J. Med. Chem., 27, pp. 1083-1089 (1984), 4-acetamidobenzoic acid is utilized as a starting material and is nitrated using, for instance, fuming nitric acid at about -10.degree. to about 10.degree. C. for 1-4 hours to afford 3-nitro-4-acetamidobenzoic acid. This compound is then reacted with thionyl chloride in a non-polar, aprotic solvent to afford the corresponding 3-nitro-4-acetamidobenzoyl chloride, which is then further reacted with the R'.sub.1 --H amine wherein R'.sub.1 is an amino group or a --NR.sub.4 R.sub.5 group, to afford the 3-nitro-4-acetamino compound of Formula V.
Hydrolysis of the 4-acetamino substituent of the compound of Formula V thus affords the corresponding amino group using, for instance, an aqueous ethanolic sodium hydroxide solution and a polar protic solvent as the reaction medium, to afford the 3-nitro-4-amino compound of Formula VI.
The 3-nitro substituent of the compound of Formula V is then reduced by standard hydrogenation techniques to afford the desired 4-(substituted carbamoyl)-o-phenylenediamine of Formula IV. Typically, Raney nickel is used as the catalyst in catalytic hydrogenation. Alternately, the 3-nitro substituent is reduced with hydrazine hydrate in the presence of Raney nickel. As noted hereinabove, the free base itself can be isolated, or, optionally, the corresponding acid addition salt can be generated by treatment with the appropriate acid prior to the final isolation step. This alternate reaction scheme involves somewhat milder hydrogenation conditions and may be preferable or afford higher yields for certain of the R'.sub.1 substituents.
A further alternate route for the preparation of the 4-(substituted carbamoyl)-o-phenylenediamines of Formula I wherein R.sub.1 is an amino or --NR.sub.4 R.sub.5 group involves the reaction of methyl 3,4-diaminobenzoate with the R'.sub.1 --H amine. Typically, this reaction is conducted in a polar, porotic solvent such as methanol, at 1-2 atmospheres pressure. Reaction temperatures range from 60.degree.-100.degree. C., depending upon the solvent, and reaction times from about 12-48 hours. Again, the free base of Formula IV is produced, which can be isolated, or optionally treated, so as to afford the corresponding acid addition salt.
The 2-hydroxy-4-(substituted carbamoyl) or 2-hydroxy-5-(substituted-carbamoyl)-anilines of Formula I wherein R.sub.1 is an amino or an --NR.sub.4 R.sub.5 group can be prepared according to the reaction Scheme III below: ##STR7##
The 3-hydroxy-4-nitrobenzoic acid starting material is acetylated using, for instance, acetic anhydride and pyridine at reflux temperatures for 1-4 hours to afford 3-acetoxy-4-nitrobenzoic acid. This compound is then dissolved in a non-polar, aprotic solvent, such as benzene or toluene, and refluxed with thionyl chloride for a period of about 2-6 hours to form the desired 3-acetoxy-4-nitrobenzoyl chloride.
The 3-acetoxy-4-nitrobenzoyl chloride can then be optionally purified to remove traces of starting materials, or used directly, by redissolving it in an aprotic solvent such as methylene chloride. To this mixture is added the appropriate primary or secondary amine of the formula R'.sub.1 --H, wherein R'.sub.1 is an amino or an --NR.sub.4 R.sub.5 group, along with triethylene amine, or another suitable acid acceptor. Typically, this reaction is completed in 4-24 hours at room temperature, thus affording the 4-carbamoyl or 4-substituted-carbamoyl-1-nitro-2-hydroxybenzene of Formula VII.
Hydrolysis of the 3-acetoxy substituent of the compound of Formula VII, for instance, in an aqueous ethanolic sodium hydroxide solution and a polar protic solvent as the reaction medium, affords the 3-hydroxy-4-amino compound of Formula VIII.
The compound of Formula VIII is then subjected to conventional hydrogenation procedures, for instance, hydrogen gas using a 10% palladium-on-carbon catalyst at 40-60 psi, at room temperature for 12-36 hours. Thus afforded is the desired 2-hydroxy-4-(carbamoyl) or 4-(substituted carbamoyl)-anilines of Formula IX.
Optionally, these compounds of Formula IX can be isolated as their free bases, or alternately, as their acid addition salts. Typically, the acid addition salts are produced by treatment of the corresponding free base with the appropriate acid, e.g., hydrogen chloride, to afford the corresponding salt, e.g., hydrochloride.
The 3,5-diamino-4-substituted benzoic acids of the present invention represented by Formula XIIIa can be synthesized according to the reaction Scheme IV below: ##STR8## In this reaction scheme, 4-fluorobenzoic acid of Formula X is treated with fuming nitric acid to provide the 3,5-dinitro-4-fluorobenzoic acid of Formula XI. At this stage, the 4-fluoro substituent can be converted to a 4-alkoxy substituent by treatment with the appropriate alcohol or water and a base such as potassium hydroxide or sodium metal to yield the compound of Formula XII.
The compound of Formula XI or XII is then hydrogenated with H.sub.2 gas, using a palladium-on-carbon or other similar catalyst, to give the 3,5-diamino-4-substituted compound of Formula XIIIa. Optional treatment of this compound of Formula XIIIa with a strong mineral acid such as hydrochloric acid provides the corresponding salts.
A variation of Scheme IV is utilized to produce the corresponding 2,3-diamino-4-substituted benzoic acids of Formula XIIIb which are position isomers. This variation utilizes 2-fluorobenzoic acid as a starting material, which is then reacted with nitric acid/sulfuric acid to produce the 5-fluoro-2-nitrobenzoic acid and subsequently hydrogenated and acetylated to produce 2-acetamido-5-fluoro-benzoic acid. Treatment of this compound with nitric acid/sulfuric acid affords the 2-acetamido-5-fluoro-3-nitrobenzoic acid which is deacylated and then hydrogenated to afford the 2,3-diamino-5-fluorobenzoic acid. In this variation, the hydroxylation or alkoxylation step can be performed on the nitro-substituted intermediate wherever necessary to afford the corresponding 2,3-diamino-4-substituted benzoic acids of the Formula XIIIb. ##STR9##
The 3,5-diamino-4-hydroxy-N-substituted benzamides of the present invention represented by formula XVII can be synthesized according to the reaction Scheme V below: ##STR10## In this reaction scheme, 3,5-dinitro-4-hydroxybenzoic acid is treated with thionyl chloride to afford the corresponding acid chloride of Formula XV. Treatment of this acid chloride of Formula XV with the appropriate amine results in the 3,5-dinitro-4-hydroxybenzamide of Formula XVI. This compound of Formula XVI is then hydrogenated under conditions similar to those used in the Scheme IV hydrogenation step to yield the desired compounds of Formula XVII, which can optionally be converted to their acid addition salts by treatment with, for instance, HCl gas.
The 3,5-diamino-4-hydroxybenzoic acid esters of Formula XVII can be prepared by the following reaction Scheme VI below: ##STR11## In this reaction sequence which begins with the compound of Formula XV prepared in Scheme V, the compound of Formula XV is treated with the appropriate alcohol and heated for periods of about 30 minutes to 2 hours to afford the desired compound of Formula XVI. This compound of Formula XV is then hydrogenated under conditions similar to those used in the Scheme IV hydrogenation stp to afford the desired compound of Formula XVII. Optionally, this compound can be treated appropriately to afford the corresponding acid addition salt.
EXAMPLE 1
The following method was used to evaluate the ability of the compounds of the present invention to inhibit glucose-mediated development of fluorescence of bovine serum albumin (BSA), a measure of cross-linking. Compounds were incubated under aseptic conditions at a concentration of 1 mM with 400 mM glucose and 100 mg/mL BSA in a 1.5M sodium phosphate buffer, pH 7.4.
Samples of the incubation mixture were taken immediately and after 1 week incubation at 37.degree. C. for measurement of fluorescence. For each test compound, control incubations in buffer were made of compound alone (C), compound plus glucose (G+C), and compound plus BSA (B+C). An additional set of incubations of glucose and BSA (B+G) were prepared as the baseline controls against which were measured the ability of the compounds to inhibit. Each incubation was made in triplicate.
Fluorescence (excitation, 370 nm; emission, 440 nm) was measured on each sample after a 100-fold dilution in distilled water.
The % inhibition of browning of each test compound was calculated as follows. Each .DELTA.F represents the fluorescence measurement of that sample after 1 week incubation less its fluorescence before incubation. ##EQU1## where B=BSA, G=glucose, and C=test compound.
Percent inhibition of browning by various test compounds at 1 mM:
0% no inhibitor;
66% 4-(butylamino-carbonyl)-o-phenylene-diamine dihydrochloride;
33% 4-carbamoyl-o-phenylene diamine hydrochloride;
66% 3-amino-4-hydroxybenzoic acid;
66% 3-amino-4-hydroxybenzhydrazide;
73% 4-(1-piperidinylamino-carbonyl)-o-phenylenediamine dihydrochloride.
The above experiments suggest that this type of drug therapy may have benefit in reducing the pathology associated with the advanced glycosylation of proteins and the formation of cross-links between proteins and other macromolecules. Drug therapy may be used to prevent the increased trapping and cross-linking of proteins that occurs in diabetes and aging which leads to sequelae such as retinal damage, and extra-vascularly, damage to tendons, ligaments and other joints. This therapy might retard atherosclerosis and connective tissue changes that occur with diabetes and aging. Both topical, oral, and parenteral routes of administration to provide therapy locally and systemically are contemplated.
EXAMPLE 2
The following method was used to evaluate the ability of the compounds of the present invention to inhibit the cross-linking of glycated bovine serum albumin (AGE-BSA) to the rat tail tendon collagen coated 96-well plate.
The AGE-BSA was prepared by incubating BSA at a concentration of 200 mg per ml with 200 mM glucose in 0.4M sodium phosphate buffer, pH 7.4 at 37.degree. C. for 12 weeks. The glycated BSA was then extensively dialyzed against phosphate buffer solution (PAS) for 48 hours with additional 5 times buffer exchanges. The rat tail tendon collagen coated plate was blocked first with 300 .mu.l of superbloc blocking buffer (Pierce #37515X) for one hour. The blocking solution was removed from the wells by washing the plate twice with PAS-Tween 20 solution (0.05% Tween 20) using a NUNC-multiprobe or Dynatech ELISA-plate washer. Cross-linking of AGE-BSA (1 to 10 .mu.g per well depending on the batch of AGE-BSA) to rat tail tendon collagen coated plate was performed with and without the testing compound dissolved in PAS buffer at pH 7.4 at the desired concentrations by the addition of 50 .mu.l each of the AGE-BSA diluted in PAS or in the testing compound at 37.degree. C. for 4 hours. The unbrowned BSA in PAS buffer with or without testing compound were added to the separate wells as the blanks. The un-cross-linked AGE-BSA was then removed by washing the wells three times with PAS-Tween buffer. The cross-linked AGE-BSA to the tail tendon coated plate was then quantitated by the polyclonal antibody raised against AGE-RNase. After a one-hour incubation period, AGE antibody was removed by washing 4 times with PAS-Tween.
The bound AGE antibody was then detected with the addition of horseradish peroxidase-conjugated secondary antibody--goat anti-rabbit immunoglobulin and incubation for 30 minutes. The substrate of 2,2-azino-di(3-ethylbenzthiazoline sulfonic acid) (ABTS chromogen) (Zymed #00-2011) was added. The reaction was allowed for an additional 15 minutes and the absorbance was read at 410 nm in a Dynatech plate reader.

The above experiments suggest that this type of drug therapy may have benefit in reducing the pathology associated with the advanced glycosylation of proteins and the formation of cross-links between proteins and other macromolecules. Drug therapy may be used to prevent the increased trapping and cross-linking of proteins that occurs in diabetes and aging which leads to sequelae such as retinal damage, and extra-vascularly, damage to tendons, ligaments and other joints. This therapy might retard atherosclerosis and connective tissue changes that occur with diabetes and aging. Both topical, oral, and parenteral routes of administration to provide therapy locally and systemically are contemplated.

To further study the ability of inhibitors of nonenzymatic browning to prevent the discoloration of protein on a surface, such as that which occurs on the tooth surface, the following surface browning experiment is performed. As a substitute for a pellicle-covered tooth surface, unexposed and developed photographic paper is used to provide a fixed protein (gelatin, i.e., collagen) surface on a paper backing. Five millimeter circles are punched and immersed for one week at 50.degree. C. in a solution of 100 mM glucose-6-phosphate in a 0.5M phosphate buffer, pH 7.4, containing 3 mM sodium azide. Glucose-6-phosphate is a sugar capable of participating in nonenzymatic browning at a more rapid rate than glucose. In addition to the glucose-6-phosphate, chlorhexidine and/or a compound of Formula I are included. After incubation, the gelatin/paper disks are rinsed with water, observed for brown color, and photographed.
Incubation of the disks in glucose-6-phosphate alone shows slight brown color versus disks soaked in buffer alone. Inclusion of chlorhexidine (in the form of Peridex.RTM. at a final concentration of 0.04% chlorhexidine) shows significant browning. Addition of a compound of Formula I to the chlorhexidine completely inhibits browning of the gelatin, as does inclusion of a compound of Formula I in the absence of chlorhexidine.
The slight brown color formed by the action of glucose-6-phosphate on the gelatin surface alone and its prevention by a compound of Formula I demonstrates the utility of the present invention in preventing nonenzymatic browning of tooth surfaces. The enhanced browning in the presence of chlorhexidine and its prevention with a compound of Formula I demonstrates the utility of the present invention in preventing the anti-plaque agent-enhanced nonenzymatic browning which occurs with chlorhexidine.
