Abstract
Compounds are disclosed having the formula: ##STR1## The compounds of the invention are angiotensin II receptor antagonists.
Description

TECHNICAL FIELD
This invention relates to compounds and compositions which block angiotensin II receptors, processes for making such compounds, synthetic intermediates employed in these processes and a method of treating hypertension, edema, renal failure, benign prostatic hypertrophy, diabetic nephropathy, diabetic retinopathy, Alzheimer's disease or congestive heart failure with such compounds. The present invention also relates to compositions and a method for treating glaucoma, preventing or treating atherosclerosis, preventing or treating stroke and treatment of a variety of obesity-related disorders with such compounds. The present invention also relates to compositions and a method for treating CNS disorders.
BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION
Blood pressure is regulated by a multitude of interrelated factors involving neural, vascular and volume-related effects. The renin-angiotensin system (RAS) is one of the important blood pressure regulating systems.
The RAS functions as shown in the scheme below. Low renal perfusion pressure stimulates the juxtaglomerular cells of the kidney to produce the proteolytic enzyme renin. This enzyme acts on a circulating protein, angiotensinogen, cleaving off a decapeptide angiotensin I. Angiotensin I is then cleaved to the octapeptide angiotensin II by angiotensin converting enzyme (ACE). Angiotensin II is the most powerful pressor substance in the RAS. Angiotenin II binds to vascular smooth muscle receptors and induces vasoconstriction, but has little or no stimulating action on the heart. ##STR2##
Inhibitors of renin (for example enalkiren) and inhibitors of ACE (for example, captopril and enalapril) have clinical efficacy in treating hypertension and congestive heart failure. ACE inhibitors, however, have reported side effects including cough and skin rash.
Peptidyl and non-peptidyl angiotensin II receptor antagonists are known. The peptidyl compound saralasin or [Sar.sup.1,Ala.sup.8 ] angiotensin II has been found to be a potent antagonist of the actions of angiotensin II. Saralasin, however, has several disadvantages. Because it is a peptide, saralasin has very poor oral bioavailability. The use of saralasin, therefore, is limited to administration to hospitalized patients by continuous intravenous infusion. Saralasin is also known to cause an initial increase in blood pressure after intravenous administration due to its activity as an angiotensin receptor agonist. Therefore, non-peptidyl angiotensin II receptor antagonists are preferred.

In addition, a carboxy-protecting group can be used as a prodrug whereby the carboxy-protecting group can be readily cleaved in vivo, for example by enzymatic hydrolysis, to release the biologically active parent. T. Higuchi and V. Stella provide a thorough discussion of the prodrug concept in "Pro-drugs as Novel Delivery Systems", Vol 14 of the A.C.S. Symposium Series, American Chemical Society (1975). Such carboxy-protecting groups are well known to those skilled in the art, having been extensively used in the protection of carboxyl groups in the penicillin and cephalosporin fields, as described in U.S. Pat. No. 3,840,556 and 3,719,667, the disclosures of which are incorporated herein by reference. Examples of esters useful as prodrugs for compounds containing carboxyl groups can be found on pages 14-21 of "Bioreversible Carriers in Drug Design: Theory and Application", edited by E. B.

When the compounds of formula I contain one asymmetric carbon atom, they can exist as pure enantiomers or mixtures of enantiomers. When the compounds of formula I contain more than one asymmetric carbon atom, they can exist as diastereomers, mixtures of diastereomers, diastereomeric racemates or mixtures of diastereomeric racemates. The present invention includes within its scope all of the isomeric forms. The terms "R" and "S" configuration used herein are as defined by IUPAC 1974 Recommendations for Section E, Fundamental Stereochemistry, Pure Appl. Chem (1976) 45, 13-30.
In addition, in the compounds of the invention, combinations of substituents and/or variables (i.e., A, D, E, G, R.sub.1, R.sub.2, R.sub.3, R.sub.4, etc.) are permissible only if such combinations result in stable compounds.
In general, the compounds of this invention can be prepared by the processes illustrated in Schemes I through XXXII. It should be understood that substituents A, D, E, G, R.sub.1, R.sub.2, R.sub.3, R.sub.4, etc. as used herein correspond to the groups identified by formula (I). P is a protecting group. In the course of synthesis, certain groups present in the molecule, particulary carboxylic acid and tetrazole groups, are protected and deprotected as necessary. The term "protecting group" is well known in the art and refers to substituents on functional groups of compounds undergoing chemical transformation which prevent undesired reactions and degradations during a synthesis; see, for example, T. H. Greene, "Protective Groups in Organic Synthesis", John Wiley & Sons, New York (1981) for methods of introducing and removing appropriate protecting groups. Suitable carboxy-protecting groups include t-butyl and benzyl groups. Suitable tetrazole nitrogen-protecting groups include triphenylmethyl (Tr), benzyl, t-butyl, methoxymethyl, benzyloxymethyl, p-nitrobenzyl, 1-ethoxyethyl and the like.
The compounds of formula (I) may be prepared using the reactions and techniques described in this section. The reactions are performed in a solvent appropriate to the reagents and materials employed and suitable for the transformation being effected. It is understood by those skilled in the art of organic synthesis that the functionality present on the heterocycle and other portions of the molecule must be consistent with the chemical transformation proposed. This will frequently necessitate judgment as to the order of synthetic steps, protecting groups required and deprotection conditions. Throughout the following section, not all compounds of formula (I) falling into a given class may necessarily be prepared by all methods described for that class. Substituents on the starting materials may be incompatible with some of the reaction conditions required in some of the methods described. Such restrictions to the substituents which are compatible with the reaction conditions will be readily apparent to one skilled in the art and alternative methods described must then be used.

4-[(N-tert-Butyloxycarbonyl-N-propylamino)methyl]phenyl boronic acid
To the compound resulting from Example 233B in methylene chloride at 0.degree. C. was added triethylamine (2 equivalents) and di-tert-butyldicarbonate (1.05 equivalents). The cooling bath was removed and the mixture allowed to warm to ambient temperature. The solution was diluted with a suitable solvent (ether or hexane), washed with 2N hydrochloric acid, dried over sodium sulfate and concentrated in vacuo. The Boc-protected compound was obtained as a colorless oil in quantitative yield and was used without further purification.
Grignard formation was effected by treatment of magnesium (1.2 equivalents) in tetrahydrofuran with dibromoethane (0.05 equivlants) followed by heating to reflux and then adding a solution of the protected compound from above in tetrahydrofuran. The reaction mixture turned brown and after 4 hours, most of the metal had been consumed. The Grignard reagent was cooled in a dry ice/acetone bath and then transferred via cannula into a -70.degree. C. solution of trimethyl borate (2.5 equivalents) (.about.2 M in tetrahydrofuran). Upon completion of the addition, the cooling bath was removed and the mixture allowed to warm to ambient temperature. The solution was diluted with ether (4 volumes), washed with 3N hydrochloric acid, ensuring that the aqueous layer was pH 2 or lower.

ANGIOTENSIN II FUNCTIONAL ASSAY
Antagonism of Contraction of Rabbit Aorta
The protocol reported by A. T Chiu and P. Timmermans (P. C. Wong, et al. Hypertension, 13, 489-497 (1989)) was followed with a few modifications. Female New Zealand White rabbits weighing 2-5 kg were sedated with carbon dioxide and then sacrificed. Main abdominal aortas were removed and placed in Krebs-Henseleit buffer at room temperature.

The pH of the buffer was 7.40 at 37.degree. C. when saturated with 5% carbon dioxide/95% oxygen.
The tissues were cleaned of extraneous connective tissue, cut into 3 mm rings, and suspended within a 10 mL tissue bath. All dilutions of peptide preparations were made with 0.3% aqueous BSA. The tissues were primed with 55 mM potassium chloride. Tissues were pre-loaded with 1 g of tension. Tension was recorded on a model 7 Grass polygraph using FT03 transducers. At the end of the equilibrium period, a control cumulative concentration-contractile response curve for angiotensin II (A II: 1.times.10.sup.-10 -10.sup.-8 M) was obtained. The tissue was washed several times until the baseline was reached. Forty five minutes later, test compound (antagonist) was added and the tissue was incubated for 30 minutes. The concentration-response curve for A II was then repeated in the presence of the test compound. One dose of antagonist was tested per tissue only. For single dose shift experiments a dose of 1 mM of test compound was used, for a full pA.sub.2 experiment multiple doses were used depending upon the potency of the antagonist.
All responses to the control agonist were calculated as a percentage of the maximum response. These points in duplicate were plotted and analyzed according to standard Schild analysis (H. O. Schild, British J Pharmacology and Chemotherapy, 2, 189-206 (1947). The pA.sub.2 values calculated for the compounds of the invention are shown in Table 6. The pA.sub.2 value is the negative logarithm of the [A].sub.2 value. [A].sub.2 is the concentration of antagonist which necessitates doubling the agonist concentration in order to achieve the agonist effect which was measured in the absence of antagonist.
The pA.sub.2 value, therefore, is a measure of the effectiveness of the compound as an antagonist. The data in Table 5 show that the compounds of the invention are potent antagonists at the angiotensin II receptor.

Topical administration can also involve the use of transdermal administration such as transdermal patches. The term parenteral as used herein includes subcutaneous injections, intravenous, intramuscular, intrasternal injection, or infusion techniques.
Liquid dosage forms for oral administration can include pharmaceutically acceptable emulsions, microemulsions, solutions, suspensions, syrups and elixirs containing inert diluents commonly used in the art such as water. Such compositions can also comprise adjuvants, such as wetting agents; emulsifying and suspending agents; sweetening, flavoring and perfuming agents.
Injectable preparations, for example, sterile injectable aqueous or oleaginous suspensions can be formulated according to the known art using suitable dispersing or wetting agents and suspending agents. The sterile injectable preparation can also be a sterile injectable solution, suspension or emulsion in a nontoxic parenterally acceptable diluent or solvent, for example, as a solution in 1,3-butanediol. Among the acceptable vehicles and solvents that can be employed are water, Ringer's solution, U.S.P. and isotonic sodium chloride solution. In addition, sterile, fixed oils are conventionally employed as a solvent or suspending medium. For this purpose any bland fixed oil can be employed including synthetic mono- or diglycerides. In addition, fatty acids such as oleic acid are used in the preparation of injectables.
The injectable formulation can be sterilized, for example, by filtration through a bacteria-retaining filter, or by incorporating sterilizing agents in the form of sterile solid compositions which can be dissolved or dispersed in sterile water or other sterile injectable medium just prior to use.
In order to prolong the effect of a drug, it is often desirable to slow the absorption of a drug from subcutaneous or intramuscular injection. The most common way to accomplish this is to inject a suspension of crystalline or amorphous material with poor water solubility. The rate of absorption of the drug becomes dependent on the rate of dissolution of the drug which is, in turn, dependent on the physical state of the drug, for example, the crystal size and the crystalline form. Another approach to delaying absorption of a drug is to administer the drug as a solution or suspension in oil. Injectable depot forms can also be made by forming microcapsule matrices of drugs and biodegradable polymers such as polylactide-polyglycolide. Depending on the ratio of drug to polymer and the composition of the polymer, the rate of drug release can be controlled. Examples of other biodegradable polymers include poly-orthoesters and polyanhydrides. The depot injectables can also be made by entrapping the drug in liposomes or microemulsions which are compatible with body tissues.
Suppositories for rectal administration of the drug can be prepared by mixing the drug with a suitable nonirritating excipient such as cocoa butter and polyethylene glycol which are solid at ordinary temperature but liquid at the rectal temperature and will therefore melt in the rectum and release the drug.
Solid dosage forms for oral administration can include capsules, tablets, pills, powders, prills and granules. In such solid dosage forms the active compound can be admixed with at least one inert diluent such as sucrose, lactose or starch. Such dosage forms can also comprise, as is normal practice, additional substances other than inert diluents, e.g., tableting lubricants and other tableting aids such as magnesium stearate and microcrystalline cellulose. In the case of capsules, tablets and pills, the dosage forms can also comprise buffering agents. Tablets and pills can additionally be prepared with enteric coatings and other release-controlling coatings.
Solid compositions of a similar type can also be employed as fillers in soft and hard-filled gelatin capsules using such exipients as lactose or milk sugar as well as high molecular weight polyethylene glycols and the like.
The active compounds can also be in micro-encapsulated form with one or more excipients as noted above. The solid dosage forms of tablets, dragees, capsules, pills, and granules can be prepared with coatings and shells such as enteric coatings and other coatings well known in the pharmaceutical formulating art. They can optionally contain opacifying agents and can also be of a composition that they release the active ingredient(s) only, or preferably, in a certain part of the intestinal tract, optionally in a delayed manner. Examples of embedding compositions which can be used include polymeric substances and waxes.
Dosage forms for topical or transdermal administration of a compound of this invention include ointments, pastes, creams, lotions, gels, powders, solutions, sprays, inhalants or patches. The active component is admixed under sterile conditions with a pharmaceutically acceptable carrier and any needed preservatives or buffers as can be required. Ophthalmic formulations, ear drops, eye ointments, powders and solutions are also contemplated as being within the scope of this invention.
The ointments, pastes, creams and gels can contain, in addition to an active compound of this invention, excipients such as animal and vegetable fats, oils, waxes, paraffins, starch, tragacanth, cellulose derivatives, polyethylene glycols, silicones, bentonites, silicic acid, talc and zinc oxide, or mixtures thereof.
Powders and sprays can contain, in addition to the compounds of this invention, excipients such as lactose, talc, silicic acid, aluminum hydroxide, calcium silicates and polyamide powder, or mixtures of these substances. Sprays can additionally contain customary propellants such as chlorofluorohydrocarbons.
Transdermal patches have the added advantage of providing controlled delivery of a compound to the body. Such dosage forms can be made by dissolving or dispersing the compound in the proper medium. Absorption enhancers can also be used to increase the flux of the compound across the skin. The rate can be controlled by either providing a rate controlling membrane or by dispersing the compound in a polymer matrix or gel.
Some examples of the materials that can serve as pharmaceutically acceptable carriers are sugars, such as lactose, glucose and sucrose; starches such as corn starch and potato starch; cellulose and its derivatives such as sodium carboxymethyl cellulose, ethyl cellulose and cellulose acetate; powdered tragacanth; malt; gelatin; talc; excipients such as cocoa butter and suppository waxes; oils such as peanut oil, cottonseed oil, safflower oil, sesame oil, olive oil, corn oil and soybean oil; glycols, such as propylene glycol; polyols such as glycerin, sorbitol, mannitol and polyethylene glycol; esters such as ethyl oleate and ethyl laurate; agar; buffering agents such as magnesium hydroxide and aluminum hydroxide; alginic acid; pyrogen-free water; isotonic saline; Ringer's solution; ethyl alcohol and phosphate buffer solutions, as well as other non-toxic compatible substances used in pharmaceutical formulations. Wetting agents, emulsifiers and lubricants such as sodium lauryl sulfate and magnesium stearate, as well as coloring agents, releasing agents, coating agents, sweetening, flavoring and perfuming agents, preservatives and antioxidants can also be present in the composition, according to the judgement of the formulator.
