Aminoheterocyclic derivatives as antithrombotic or anticoagulant

The invention relates to a group of aminoheterocyclic derivatives, or pharmaceutically-acceptable salts thereof, which possess antithrombotic and anticoagulant properties and are accordingly useful in methods of treatment of the human or animal body. The invention also relates to processes for the preparation of said aminoheterocyclic derivatives, to pharmaceutical compositions containing them and to their use in the manufacture of medicaments for use in the production of an antithrombotic or anticoagulant effect.
The antithrombotic and anticoagulant effect produced by the compounds of the invention is believed to be attributable to their strong inhibitory effect against the activated coagulation protease known as Factor Xa. Factor Xa is one of a cascade of proteases involved in the complex process of blood coagulation. The protease known as thrombin is the final protease in the cascade and Factor Xa is the preceding protease which cleaves prothrombin to generate thrombin.
Certain compounds are known to possess Factor Xa inhibitory properties and the field has been reviewed by R. B. Vallis, Current Opinion in Therapeutic Patents, 1993, 1173-1179. Thus it is known that two proteins, one known as antistatin and the other known as tick anticoagulant protein (TAP), are specific Factor Xa inhibitors which possess antithrombotic properties in various animal models of thrombotic disease.
It is also known that certain non-peptidic compounds possess Factor Xa inhibitory properties. Of the low molecular weight inhibitors mentioned in the review by R. B. Wallis, all possessed a strongly basic group such as an amidinophenyl or amidinonaphthyl group.
It is the object of the present invention to provide a new class of agent which lacks the amidino group previously believed to be an essential feature for a Factor Xa inhibitor.
We have now found that certain amino-substituted heterocyclic derivatives possess Factor Xa inhibitory activity. Many of the compounds of the present invention also possess the advantage of being selective Factor Xa inhibitors, that is the enzyme Factor Xa is inhibited strongly at concentrations of test compound which do not inhibit or which inhibit to a lesser extent the enzyme thrombin which is also a member of the blood coagulation enzymatic cascade.
The compounds of the present invention possess activity in the treatment or prevention of a variety of medical disorders where anticoagulant therapy is indicated, for example in the treatment or prevention of thrombotic conditions such as coronary artery and cerebro-vascular disease. Further examples of such medical disorders include various cardiovascular and cerebrovascular conditions such as myocardial infarction, the formation of atherosclerotic plaques, venous or arterial thrombosis, coagulation syndromes, vascular injury including reocclusion and restenosis following angioplasty and coronary artery bypass surgery, thrombus formation after the application of blood vessel operative techniques, the introduction of artificial heart valves or on the recirculation of blood, cerebral infarction, cerebral thrombosis, stroke, cerebral embolism, pulmonary embolism, ischaemia and angina (including unstable angina).
The compounds of the invention are also useful as inhibitors of blood coagulation in an ex-vivo situation such as, for example, the storage of whole blood or other biological samples suspected to contain Factor Xa and in which coagulation is detrimental.

Suitable values for substituents which may be present on a heterocyclic group within a substituent which may be present within M.sup.2 or M.sup.3 include, for example:
for (1-4C)alkyl: methyl, ethyl, propyl and isopropyl;
for (1-4C)alkoxy: methoxy, ethoxy and propoxy;
for (1-4C)alkoxycarbonyl: methoxycarbonyl, ethoxycarbonyl, propoxycarbonyl and tert-butoxycarbonyl;
for N-(1-4C)alkylcarbamoyl: N-methylcarbamoyl and N-ethylcarbamoyl; and
for N,N-di-(1-4C) alkyl-carbamoyl: N,N-dimethylcarbamoyl, N-ethyl-N-methylcarbamoyl and N,N-diethylcarbamoyl.
A suitable value for A when it is (1-4C)alkylene is, for example, methylene, ethylene, trimethylene and tetramethylene.
It is to be understood that when M.sup.1 is a group of the formula
NR.sup.2 -L.sup.1 -T.sup.1 R.sup.3
the order of the presentation of this group is significant as to the orientation of attachment of the group. Thus it is the NR.sup.2 group which is attached to the heterocyclic group, for example, when G.sup.1 and G.sup.2 are each CH, the pyridyl group which bears the substituent R.sup.1. It is also to be understood that within the NR.sup.2 group it is the N atom which is attached to L.sup.1. Likewise the R.sup.2 group is attached to the N atom and not to the L.sup.1 group. Similarly in the T.sup.1 R.sup.3 group it is the T.sup.1 group which is attached to the group A of formula I (or the CO group within formula I when A is a direct link) and the R.sup.3 group is attached to the T.sup.1 group and not to the group A of formula I. A similar convention applies to the attachment of the groups M.sup.2 and M.sup.3 and to the attachment of the T.sup.2, T.sup.3 and NR.sup.6 groups within M.sup.2 or M.sup.3.
It is further to be understood that when R.sup.4 is a (2-3C)alkylene group such as ethylene and trimethylene which is linked to a methylene group which L.sup.2 forming a 5- or 6-membered ring involving T.sup.2 and R.sup.4, a suitable ring so formed when T.sup.2 is N is, for example, pyrrolidine-1,3-diyl, piperidine-1,3-diyl and piperidine-1,4-diyl and a suitable ring so formed when T.sup.2 is CH is, for example, cyclopentane-1,3-diyl, cyclohexane-1,3-diyl and cyclohexane-1,4-diyl. Such ring systems are also suitable when, for example, R.sup.5 is linked to a methylene group within L.sup.2. Ring systems such as pyrrolidine-1,3-diyl, piperidine-1,3-diyl and piperidine-1,4-diyl are also suitable when R.sup.6 is linked to a methylene within L.sup.3.
For the avoidance of doubt it is stated that a suitable heterocyclic group in a substituent which may be present within M.sup.2 and M.sup.3 includes, for example, pyrrolidin-1-yl, piperidino, morpholino, piperazin-1-yl and 4-(1-4C)alkylpiperazin-1-yl whether directly attached or attached by way of a linking group as in, for example, pyrrolidin-1-ylcarbonyl-(1-4C)alkyl such as 2-(pyrrolidin-1-ylcarbonyl)ethyl.
A suitable value for X when it is a N-(1-4C)alkylcarbonylamino group is, for example, N-methylcarbonylamino or N-ethylcarbonylamino; when it is (1-4C)alkylmethylene is, for example, ethane-1,1-diyl or propane-1,1-diyl; and when it is di-(1-4C)alkylmethylene is, for example, propane-2,2-diyl. It is also to be understood that when X is a carbonyloxy, carbonylamino or N-(1-4C)alkylcarbonylamino group, it is the carbonyl group therein which is attached to M.sup.3. Likewise when X is a sulphonylamino group it is the sulphonyl group therein which is attached to M.sup.3 whereas, when X is an aminosulphonyl group, the sulphonyl group therein is attached to Q.
A suitable value for Q when it is naphthyl is, for example, 1-naphthyl or 2-naphthyl; when it is phenyl-(1-4C)alkyl is, for example, benzyl, phenethyl and 3-phenylpropyl, when it is phenyl-(2-4C)alkenyl is, for example, styryl, cinnamyl or 3-phenylprop-2-enyl; when it is phenyl-(2-4C)alkynyl is, for example, 2-phenylethynyl, 3-phenylprop-2-ynyl and 3-phenylprop-1-ynyl; and when it is (5-7C)cycloalkyl is, for example, cyclopentyl, cyclohexyl and cycloheptyl.
A suitable value for Q when it is a heterocyclic moiety containing up to 4 heteroatoms selected from the group consisting of nitrogen, oxygen and sulphur is, for example, a 5- or 6-membered heterocyclic moiety which is a single ring or is fused to one or two benzo rings such as furyl, benzofuranyl, tetrahydrofuryl, chromanyl, thienyl, benzothienyl, pyridyl, piperidinyl, quinolyl, 1,2,3,4-tetrahydroquinolinyl, isoquinolyl, 1,2,3,4-tetrahydroisoquinolinyl, pyrazinyl, piperazinyl, pyrimidinyl, pyridazinyl, quinoxalinyl, quinazolinyl, cinnolinyl, pyrrolyl, pyrrolidinyl, indolyl, indolinyl, imidazolyl, benzimidazolyl, pyrazolyl, indazolyl, oxazolyl, benzoxazolyl, isoxazolyl, thiazolyl, benzothiazolyl, isothiazolyl, morpholinyl, 4H-1,4-benzoxazinyl, 4H-1,4-benzothiazinyl, 1,2,3-triazolyl, 1,2,4-triazolyl, oxadiazolyl, furazanyl, thiadiazolyl, tetrazolyl, dibenzofuranyl and dibenzothienyl, which may be attached through any available position including, for an appropriate X group such as, for example, carbonyl and methylene, through any available nitrogen atom and which may bear up to three substituents including a substituent on any available nitrogen atom.
Suitable values for the substituents which may be present within Q include, for example:
for (1-4C)alkoxycarbonyl: methoxycarbonyl, ethoxycarbonyl and tert-butoxycarbonyl;
for (1-4C)alkyl: methyl, ethyl, propyl and isopropyl;
for (1-4C)alkoxy: methoxy, ethoxy, propoxy and isopropoxy;
for N-(1-4C)alkylcarbamoyl: N-methylcarbamoyl and N-ethylcarbamoyl;

for (2-4C)alkanoyl: acetyl, propionyl and butyryl;
for (2-4C)alkanoimidoyl: acetimidoyl and propionoimidoyl; and
for (2-4C)alkanohydroximoyl: acetohydroximoyl and propionohydroximoyl.
A suitable value for the heteroaryl substituent or the heteroaryl group in a heteroaryl-containing substituent which comprises a 5- or 6-membered monocyclic heteroaryl ring containing up to 3 heteroatoms selected from the group consisting of oxygen, nitrogen and sulphur is, for example, furyl, thienyl, pyridyl, pyrazinyl, pyrimidinyl, pyridazinyl, pyrrolyl, pyrazolyl, oxazolyl, isoxazolyl, thiazolyl, isothiazolyl, 1,2,3-triazolyl, 1,2,4-triazolyl, oxadiazolyl, furazanyl and thiadiazolyl which may be attached through any available position including through any available nitrogen atom.

In addition a suitable pharmaceutically-acceptable salt of an aminoheterocyclic derivative of the invention which is sufficiently acidic is an alkali metal salt, for example a sodium or potassium salt, an alkaline earth metal salt, for example a calcium or magnesium salt, an ammonium salt or a salt with an organic base which affords a physiologically-acceptable cation, for example a salt with methylamine, dimethylamine, trimethylamine, piperidine, morpholine or tris-(2-hydroxyethyl)amine.

Necessary starting materials may be obtained by standard procedures of organic chemistry. The preparation of such starting materials is illustrated within the accompanying Examples; alternatively analogous procedures to those illustrated may be employed by applying no more than the ordinary skill of an organic chemist.

(T.sup.2 R.sup.4).sub.4rl -L.sup.2 -T.sup.3 R.sup.5
in which T.sup.2 is N and r is 1, the reaction, conveniently in the presence of a suitable base, of an acid of the formula II, or a reactive derivative thereof, with an amine of the formula
HNR.sup.4 -L.sup.2 -T.sup.3 R.sup.5 -M.sup.3 -X-Q
A suitable reactive derivative of an acid of the formula II is, for example, an acyl halide, for example an acyl chloride formed by the reaction of the acid and an inorganic acid chloride, for example thionyl chloride; a mixed anhydride, for example an anhydride formed by the reaction of the acid and a chloroformate such as isobutyl chloroformate; an active ester, for example an ester formed by the reaction of the acid and a phenol such as pentafluorophenol, an ester such as pentafluorophenyl trifluoroacetate or an alcohol such as N-hydroxybenzotriazole or N-hydroxysuccinimide; an acyl azide, for example an azide formed by the reaction of the acid and an azide such as diphenylphosphoryl azide; an acyl cyanide, for example a cyanide formed by the reaction of an acid and a cyanide such as diethylphosphoryl cyanide; or the product of the reaction of the acid and a carbodiimide such as N,N'-dicyclohexylcarbodiimide or N-(3-dimethylaminopropyl)-N'-ethylcarbodiimide.
The reaction is conveniently carried out in the presence of a suitable base such as, for example, an alkali or alkaline earth metal carbonate, alkoxide, hydroxide or hydride, for example sodium carbonate, potassium carbonate, sodium ethoxide, potassium butoxide, sodium hydroxide, potassium hydroxide, sodium hydride or potassium hydride, or an organometallic base such as an alkyl-lithium, for example n-butyl-lithium, or a dialkylamino-lithium, for example lithium di-isopropylamide, or, for example, an organic amine base such as, for example, pyridine, 2,6-lutidine, collidine, 4-dimethylaminopyridine, triethylamine, morpholine or diazabicyclo-[5.4.0]undec-7-ene.

A suitable protecting group for a hydroxy group is, for example, an acyl group, for example an alkanoyl group such as acetyl, an aroyl group, for example benzoyl, or an arylmethyl group, for example benzyl. The deprotection conditions for the above protecting groups will necessarily vary with the choice of protecting group. Thus, for example, an acyl group such as an alkanoyl or an aroyl group may be removed, for example, by hydrolysis with a suitable base such as an alkali metal hydroxide, for example lithium or sodium hydroxide. Alternatively an arylmethyl group such as a benzyl group may be removed, for example, by hydrogenation over a catalyst such as palladium-on-carbon.

As stated previously, the compounds of the formula I and of the formula Ia are inhibitors of the enzyme Factor Xa. The effects of this inhibition may be demonstrated using one or more of the standard procedures set out hereinafter:
a) Measurement of Factor Xa Inhibition
An in vitro assay system was carried out based on the method of Kettner et al., J. Biol. Chem., 1990, 265, 18289-18297, whereby various concentrations of a test compound were dissolved in a pH 7.5 buffer containing 0.5% of polyethylene glycol and incubated at 37.degree. C. with human Factor Xa (0.001 Units/ml, 0.3 ml) for 15 minutes. The chromogenic substrate S-2765 (KabiVitum AB, 20 .mu.M) was added and the mixture was incubated at 37.degree. C. for 20 minutes whilst the absorbance at 405 nm was measured. The maximum reaction velocity (Vmax) was determined and compared with that of a control sample containing no test compound. Inhibitor potency was expressed as an IC.sub.50 value.
b) Measurement of Thrombin Inhibition
The procedure of method a) was repeated except that human thrombin (0.005 Units/ml) and the chromogenic substrate S-2238 (KabiVitum AB) were employed.
c) Measurement of Anticoagulant Activity
An in vitro assay whereby human venous blood was collected and added directly to a sodium citrate solution (3.2 g/100 ml, 9 parts blood to 1 part citrate solution). Blood plasma was prepared by contrifugation (1000 g, 15 minutes) and stored at 2-4.degree. C. Conventional activated partial thromboplastin time (APTT) and prothrombin time (PT) tests were carried out in the presence of various concentrations of a test compound and the concentration of test compound required to double the clotting time, hereinafter referred to as CT2, was determined. In the APTT test, the test compound, blood plasma and APTT reagent were incubated at 37.degree. C. for 3 minutes. Calcium chloride (0.02M) was added and fibrin formation and the time required for a clot to form were determined. In the PT test, an analogous procedure was followed except that tissue thromboplastin was used in place of APTT reagent.
d) An ex vivo Assay of Anticoagulant Activity
The test compound was administered intravenously or orally to a group of Alderley Park Wistar rats. At various times thereafter animals were anaesthetised, blood was collected and APTT and PT coagulation assays analogous to those described hereinbefore were conducted.
e) An in vivo Measurement of Antithrombotic Activity
Thrombus formation was induced using an analogous method to that described by Vogel et al., Thromb. Research, 1989, 54, 399-410. A group of Alderley Park Wistar rats was anaesthetised and surgery was performed to expose the vena cava. Two loose sutures were located, 0.7 cm apart, round the inferior vena cava. Test compound was administered intravenously or orally. At an appropriate time thereafter tissue thromboplastin (1 ml/kg) was administered into the jugular vein and, after 10 seconds, the two sutures were tightened to induce stasis within the ligated portion of vena cava. After 10 minutes the ligated tissue was excised and the thrombus therein was isolated, blotted and weighed.

In general the above compositions may be prepared in a conventional manner using conventional excipients.
The amount of active ingredient (that is an aminoheterocyclic derivative of the formulae I or Ia, or a pharmaceutically-acceptable salt thereof) that is combined with one or more excipients to produce a single dosage form will necessarily vary depending upon the host treated and the particular route of administration. For example, a formulation intended for oral administration to humans will generally contain, for example, from 0.5 mg to 2 g of active agent compounded with an appropriate and convenient amount of excipients which may vary from about 5 to about 98 percent by weight of the total composition. Dosage unit forms will generally contain about 1 mg to about 500 mg of an active ingredient.
According to a further feature of the invention there is provided an aminoheterocyclic derivative of the formula I or of the formula Ia, or a pharmaceutically-acceptable salt thereof, for use in a method of treatment of the human or animal body by therapy.

The invention also includes a method of producing an effect as defined hereinbefore or treating a disease or disorder as defined hereinbefore which comprises administering to a warm-blooded animal requiring such treatment an effective amount of an active ingredient as defined hereinbefore.
The size of the dose for therapeutic or prophylactic purposes of a compound of the formulae I or Ia will naturally vary according to the nature and severity of the medical condition, the age and sex of the animal or patient being treated and the route of administration, according to well known principles of medicine. As mentioned above, compounds of the formulae I or Ia are useful in the treatment or prevention of a variety of medical disorders where anticoagulant therapy is indicated. In using a compound of the formula I for such a purpose, it will generally be administered so that a daily dose in the range, for example, 0.5 to 500 mg/kg body weight is received, given if required in divided doses. In general lower doses will be administered when a parenteral route is employed, for example a dose for intravenous administration in the range, for example, 0.5 to 50 mg/kg body weight will generally be used. For preferred and especially preferred compounds of the invention, in general, lower doses will be employed, for example a daily dose in the range, for example, 0.5 to 10 mg/kg body weight.
Although the compounds of the formulae I and Ia are primarily of value as therapeutic or prophylactic agents for use in warm-blooded animals including man, they are also useful whenever it is required to produce an anticoagulant effect, for example during the ex-vivo storage of whole blood or in the development of biological tests for compounds having anticoagulant properties.
The compounds of the invention may be administered as a sole therapy or they may be administered in conjunction with other pharmacologically active agents such as a thrombolytic agent, for example tissue plasminogen activator or derivatives thereof or streptokinase.

EXAMPLE 1
N-[2-Amino-1-(piperidinocarbonyl)ethyl]-2-(2-naphthalenesulphonamido)acetamide hydrochloride salt (2.6 g) and triethylamine (3.18 ml) were added in turn to a stirred solution of 1-(4-pyridyl)piperidine-4-carbonyl chloride (1.54 g) in methylene chloride (20 ml) and the mixture was stirred at ambient temperature for 16 hours. The mixture was partitioned between ethyl acetate and water. The organic phase was washed with water, dried (HgSO.sub.4) and evaporated. The residue was purified by column chromatography using a 89:10:1 mixture of ethyl acetate, methanol and ammonia as eluent. The material so obtained was triturated under diethyl ether to give 2-(2-naphthalenesulphonamido)-N-{1-piperidinocarbonyl-2-[1-(4-pyridyl)piperidin-4-ylcarbonylamino]ethyl}acetamide as a foam (1.9 g, 55%);

The N-[2-amino-1-(piperidinocarbonyl)ethyl]-2-(2-naphthalenesulphonamido)acetamide used as a starting material was obtained as follows:
N-Hydroxybenzotriazole (10.16 g) and N-(3-dimethylaminopropyl)-N'-ethylcarbodiimide (14.7 g) were added in turn to a stirred solution of N.sup.2 -benzyloxycarbonyl-DL-asparagine (20 g) in DHF (200 ml) which had been cooled in an ice-bath. The mixture was stirred at 0.degree. to 5.degree. C. for 1 hour. Piperidine (7.4 ml) was added and the mixture was stirred for 16 hours and allowed to warm to ambient temperature. The mixture was concentrated by evaporation. Water (500 ml) was added and the precipitate was isolated and dried. There was thus obtained N.sup.2 -benzyloxycarbonyl-DL-asparagine piperidide (12 g), m.p. 159.degree.-162.degree. C.
After repetition of the reaction, the piperidide so obtained (17 g) was added to a stirred solution of bis(trifluoroacetoxy)iodobenzene (33 g) in a mixture of DHF (100 ml) and water (100 ml). The mixture was stirred at ambient temperature for 20 minutes. Triethylamine (14.2 ml) was added and the mixture was stirred for 16 hours. The mixture was acidified by the addition of 2N aqueous hydrochloric acid and extracted with ethyl acetate. The aqueous phase was basified to pH 8 by the addition of 2N aqueous sodium hydroxide solution and extracted with ethyl acetate (3.times.60 ml). The extracts were combined, washed with water, dried (MgSO.sub.4) and evaporated. There was thus obtained 1-[3-amino-2-(benzyloxycarbonylamino)propionyl]piperidine as an oil (8.12 g).
Di-tert-butyl dicarbonate (8.75 g) and triethylamine (7.1 ml) were added in turn to a stirred solution of the piperidine so obtained in methylene chloride (150 ml) and the mixture was stirred at ambient temperature for 16 hours. The mixture was partitioned between methylene chloride and 1N aqueous citric acid solution. The organic phase was washed with water, dried (MgSO.sub.4) and evaporated. The residue was purified by column chromatography using a 1:1 mixture of hexane and ethyl acetate as eluent. There was thus obtained 1-[2-(benzyloxycarbonylamino)-3-(tert-butoxycarbonylamino)propionyl]-piperidine as an oil (7.98 g).
A mixture of a portion (4.2 g) of the material so obtained, 10% palladium-on-carbon catalyst (0.3 g) and ethanol (100 ml) was stirred under an atmosphere of hydrogen for 8 hours.

The 4-[4-(4-pyridyl)piperazin-1-ylcarbonyl]aniline used as a starting material was obtained as follows:
4-Nitrobenzoyl chloride (4.64 g) was added to a stirred suspension of 1-(4-pyridyl)piperazine (4.08 g), triethylamine (3.48 ml) and DMF (50 ml) which had been cooled to 4.degree. C. The mixture was stirred at 4.degree. C. for 1 hour and at ambient temperature for 16 hours. The mixture was partitioned between methylene chloride and water. The organic phase was washed with brine, dried (MgSO.sub.4) and evaporated. The residue was purified by column chromatography using a 10:1 mixture of methylene chloride and methanol as eluent. There was thus obtained 4-[4-(4-pyridyl)piperazin-1-ylcarbonyl]nitrobenzene (5.09 g), m.p. 158-160.degree. C.
A mixture of a portion (3.74 g) of the material so obtained, 10% palladium-on-carbon catalyst (0.3 g), 1N aqueous hydrochloric acid (24 ml) and methanol (75 ml) was stirred under an atmosphere of hydrogen gas until uptake of hydrogen ceased. The mixture was filtered and the filtrate was evaporated. The residue was dissolved in water (25 ml) and the solution was basified to pH 10 by the addition of 1N aqueous sodium hydroxide solution. The resultant precipitate was isolated, washed with water and dried. There was thus obtained 4-[4-(4-pyridyl)piperazin-1-ylcarbonyl]aniline (2.91 g), m.p. 254-256.degree. C.

Di-tert-butyl dicarbonate (5.09 g) was added to a stirred mixture of piperidine-4-carboxylic acid (3 g), sodium carbonate (2.48 g), 1,4-dioxan (20 ml) and water (20 ml) which had been cooled to 0.degree. C. The mixture was stirred at ambient temperature for 18 hours. The mixture was concentrated by evaporation to one third of the original volume and a saturated sodium bisulphate solution was added to bring the solution to pH 2 to 3. The mixture was extracted with ethyl acetate. The organic phase was washed with water and with brine, dried (MgSO.sub.4) and evaporated to give 1-tert-butoxycarbonylpiperidine-4-carboxylic acid (4.36 g) which was used without further purification.
Using an analogous procedure to that described in Example 14, a portion (1.41 g) of the material so obtained was reacted with 1-(4-pyridyl)piperazine to give 1-(1-tert-butoxycarbonylpiperidin-4-ylcarbonyl)-4-(4-pyridyl)piperazine in 20% yield;
