Aryloxyaniline derivatives

TECHNICAL FIELD

The present invention relates to a medicine, and more particularly relates to a medicine having a high affinity for MDR.

BACKGROUND ART

Benzodiazepine (Bz) receptors are recently classified into 2 subtypes of central benzodiazepine receptor (CBR) located on GABA

A

receptor/ion channel complex and mitochondrial DBI (diazepam binding inhibitor, Neuropharmacol., 30, 1425-1433 (1991)) receptor (BDR) located on the central nervous system (glial cells) or adrenal glands (Clin. Neuropharmacol., 16, 401-417 (1993)).

MDR agonists act indirectly on GABA

A

/ion channel complex via endogenous neurosteroids and cause an anti-anxiety action. Accordingly, they have a possibility to be usable for diseases (obsessive disorders, panic disorders) on which the previous Bzs do not have a satisfactorily therapeutic effect, and to alleviate side-effects such as excessive sedation or psychic dependence caused by the Bzs. Furthermore, MDR ligands act indirectly on GABA

A

receptors, and therefore, have a possibility of use as therapeutical agents of sleeping disorders, epilepsy, dyskinesia accompanied by muscle rigidity, feeding disorders, circulation disorders, recognition and learning disability or drug dependence (Progress in Neurobiology, 38, 379-395, 1992, ibid., 49, 73-97, 1996; J. Neurochem., 58, 1589-1601; Neuropharmacol., 30, 1435-1440, 1991). In addition, MDR ligands have a possibility of use as therapeutic agents of cancer (Biochimica et Biophysica Acta, 1241, 453-470, 1995), lipid metabolism abnormality (Eur. J. Pharmacol., 294, 601-607, 1995), schizophrenia (Neuropharmacology, 35, 1075-1079, 1996), cerebral infarction (J. Neurosci., 15, 5263-5274, 1995), AIDS (Abstracts of the fifth international conference on AIDS, p. 458, 1989), Alzheimer's disease (Alzheimer Dis. Assoc. Disotd., 2, 331-336, 1988) or Huntington chorea (Brain Res., 248, 396-401, 1982).

Some phenoxyaniline derivatives are reported in WO9533715, JP 61040249 and JP 57208295. However, they have a hydrogen atom or an alkyl group as the substituent on the nitrogen atom of the aniline, but there are not reported the derivatives having a carbonyl group as the substituent. Furthermore, the use of the derivatives of the above-mentioned patent is anti-inflammatory agents based on the action to arakidonic acid series, anti-arteriosclerosis drugs based on an increase of PGI

2

production, or heat sensitive recording materials, but there is not described affinity for MDR and anti-anxiety based on affinity for MDR.

An object of the present invention is to provide pharmaceutical compounds which are effective on diseases on which the previous Bzs do not have a satisfactorily therapeutic effect, and have a high affinity for MDR, and therefore, have a therapeutic or preventive effect on the central diseases such as anxiety, related diseases thereto, depression, epilepsy, etc. without side-effects such as excessive sedation or psychic dependence caused by the Bzs. Furthermore, another object of the present invention is to provide therapeutic agents of sleeping disorders, dyskinesia accompanied by muscle rigidity, feeding disorders, circulation disorders, recognition and learning disability, drug dependence, cancer, lipid metabolism abnormality, schizophrenia, cerebral infarction, AIDS, Alzheimer's disease or Huntington chorea.

1

and Ar

2

have acyloxy groups, the acyloxy groups can be each converted into a hydroxyl group by hydrolysis under acidic or basic conditions. The hydroxyl group is reacted with a halogenated compound in the presence of a base, if necessary, by using a phase transfer catalyst in an inert solvent to be converted into a straight or branched alkoxy group having 1 to 10 carbon atoms, a straight or branched alkoxy group having 1 to 10 carbon atoms which is substituted with a substituted or unsubstituted amino group, or an alkoxy group having 1 to 10 carbon atoms which is substituted with a carboxyl group or an alkoxycarbonyl group.

The hydrolysis conditions mean a reaction of a base (e.g. sodium hydroxide or potassium hydroxide or sodium carbonate) or an inorganic acid (e.g. hydrochloric acid or sulfuric acid) in an inert solvent such as an alcohol (e.g. methanol or ethanol) or a ketone (e.g. acetone). The esterification means a reaction of an alkyl compound which is substituted with chlorine atoms, bromine atoms or iodine atoms, or a dialkyl sulfate, together with an inorganic base (e.g. sodium hydroxide, potassium hydroxide, sodium carbonate, potassium carbonate or sodium hydride), an alcoholate (e.g. sodium methoxide or potassium t-butoxide) or an organic base (e.g. triethylamine or diisopropylethylamine), or a reaction of an alcohol with an acid (e.g. hydrogen chloride or sulfuric acid). The amidation is carried out by converting the carboxyl group with thionyl chloride or triphenylphosphine-carbon tetrachloride into an acid halide, and then by reacting the acid halide with a corresponding amine derivative, or carried out by a conventional amidation (e.g. a mixed acid anhydride method or a dicyclohexylcarbodiimide method).

When one or both of Ar

1

and Ar

2

Experiment MDR Receptor Binding Assay

Crude mitochondria fractions prepared from rat cerebral cortex were used as a receptor sample, and [

3

H]PK11195 was used as a [

3

H]-labeled ligand.

A binding assay using the [

3

H]-labeled ligand was carried out according to the following method as described in Journal of Pharmacology and Experimental Therapeutics, 262, 971(1992).

Preparation of Receptor Sample: Rat cerebral cortex was homogenized using a Teflon-coated homogenizer in a 10 mM HEPES buffer (pH 7.4) containing 0.32 M sucrose in ten volumes of the wet weight. The homogenate was centrifuged at 900×g for 10 minutes, and the resulting supernatant was centrifuged at 9,000×g for 10 minutes. The precipitate was suspended in a HEPES buffer to give a protein concentration of 1 mg/ml, and centrifuged at 12,000×g for 10 minutes. The resulting precipitate was suspended in a 50 mM HEPES buffer (pH 7.4) to give a crude mitochondria fraction.

MDR Binding Assay: Mitochondria sample (1.0 mg protein/ml), [

3

H]PK11195 (2 nM) and the test drug were reacted at 4° C. for 90 minutes. After completion of the reaction, the reaction mixture was filtered with suction through a glass filter (GF/B) treated with 0.3% polyethyleneimine, and the radioactivity on the filter was measured by a liquid scintillation spectrometer.

The binding at the reaction in the presence of 10 μM PK11195 was defined as non-specific binding of [

3

H]PK11195, and the difference between total binding and non-specific binding was defined as specific binding. A fixed concentration of [

3

H]PK11195 (2 nM) was reacted with varied concentrations of the test drug under the above-mentioned conditions to give an inhibition curve, and the concentration (IC

50

) of the test drug to exhibit 50% inhibition of [

3

H]PK11195 binding was measured by the inhibition curve, and results are shown in Table 3.
