Arylsulfonamido-substituted hydroxamix acids

SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION
The present invention relates to novel arylsulfonamido-substituted hydroxamic acids, as matrix metalloproteinase inhibitors, methods for preparation thereof, pharmaceutical compositions comprising said compounds, a method of inhibiting matrix-degrading metalloproteinases and a method of treating matrix metalloproteinase dependent diseases or conditions in mammals which are responsive to matrix metalloprotease inhibition, using such compounds or pharmaceutical compositions comprising such compounds of the invention.
Matrix-degrading metalloproteinases, such as gelatinase, stromelysin and collagenase, are involved in tissue matrix degradation (e.g. collagen collapse) and have been implicated in many pathological conditions involving abnormal connective tissue and basement membrane matrix metabolism, such as arthritis (e.g. osteoarthritis and rheumatoid arthritis), tissue ulceration (e.g. corneal, epidermal and gastric ulceration), abnormal wound healing, periodontal disease, bone disease (e.g. Paget's disease and osteoporosis), tumor growth, tumor metastasis, tumor progression or invasion, tumor angiogenesis, as well as HIV-infection (as reported in J. Leuk. Biol. 52 (2): 244-248, 1992), atherosclerosis and restenosis in angioplasty.
Macrophage metalloelastase is a further matrix-degrading metalloproteinase which is involved in the degradation of elastin and has been implicated in pathological conditions, e.g. pulmonary disorders such as emphysema.
The compounds of the invention are inhibitors of stromelysin, gelatinase and/or collagenase activity, inhibit matrix degradation and are useful for the treatment of gelatinase, stromelysin and collagenase dependent pathological conditions in mammals, such as those cited above, including rheumatoid arthritis, osteoanhritis, tumor growth, tumor metastasis, tumor progression or invasion, tumor angiogenesis, periodontal disease, as well as the progression of HIV-infection and associated disorders, atherosclerosis, osteoporosis, and restenosis associated with angioplasty. Relevant tumors include human breast, lung, bladder, colon, ovarian and skin cancer.
The compounds of the invention are also inhibitors of macrophage elastase, inhibit elastin degradation and are useful for the treatment of bronchial disorders, such as emphysema.
Ocular applications of the compounds of the invention include the treatment of corneal ulcerations, pterygium, keratitis, keratoconus, open angle glaucoma, retinopathies, and also their use in conjunction with refractive surgery (laser or incisional) to minimize adverse effects.
Certain metalloproteinase inhibitors have been reported to also inhibit the production and release of tumor necrosis factors (TNF) e.g. TNF-.alpha. which is an important mediator of inflammation. Thus, compounds of the invention are potential anti-inflammatory agents in mammals.
Matrix-degrading metalloproteinases are involved in plaque rupture (destabilization of plaques), which is a contributing factor to acute coronary syndrome, heart attacks and strokes occurring under atherosclerotic conditions in mammals. Thus, compounds of the invention should stabilize atherosclerotic plaques (inhibit their rupture) and be useful for the treatment of atherosclerotic conditions, such as acute coronary syndrome, heart attacks (cardiac ischemia) and strokes (cerebral ischemia).
Furthermore, matrix metalloproteinases are involved in post-angioplasty and post-atherectomy vascular remodeling and the compounds of the invention should be useful for the treatment or prevention thereof.
In addition, matrix metalloproteinases have been implicated in inflammatory demyelinating disorders of the nervous system in which myelin destruction or loss is involved, such as multiple sclerosis, optic neuritis, neuromyelitis optica (Devic's disease), diffuse and transitional sclerosis (Schilder's disease) and acute disseminated encephalomyelitis, also demyelinating peripheral neuropathies such as Landry-Guillain-Barre-Strohl syndrome for motor defects. Thus, the compounds of the invention should also be useful for the treatment of such demyelinating diseases in mammals.

They inhibit e.g. the stromelysin-induced degradation of aggrecan (large aggregating proteoglycan), link protein or type IX collagen in mammals.
Beneficial effects are evaluated in pharmacological tests generally known in the art, and as illustrated herein.
The above-cited properties are demonstrable in in vitro and in vivo tests, using advantageously mammals, e.g. rats, guinea pigs, dogs, rabbits, or isolated organs and tissues, as well as mammalian enzyme preparations. Said compounds can be applied in vitro in the form of solutions, e.g. preferably aqueous solutions, and in vivo either enterally or parenterally, advantageously orally, e.g. as a suspension or in aqueous solution. The dosage in vitro may range between about 10.sup.-5 molar and 10.sup.-10 molar concentrations. The dosage in vivo may range, depending on the route of administration, between about 0.1 and 50 mg/kg.
One test to determine the inhibition of stromelysin activity is based on its hydrolysis of Substance P using a modified procedure of Harrison et al. (Harrison, R. A., Teahan J., and Stein R., A semicontinuous, high performance chromatography based assay for stromelysin, Anal. Biochem. 180, 110-113 (1989)). In this assay, Substance P is hydrolyzed by recombinant human stromelysin to generate a fragment, Substance P 7-11, which can be quantitated by HPLC. In a typical assay, a 10 mM stock solution of a compound to be tested is diluted in the assay buffer to 50 .mu.M, mixed 1:1 with 8 .mu.g recombinant human stromelysin (mol. wt. 45-47 kDa, 2 Units; where 1 Unit produces 20 mmoles of Substance P 7-11 in 30 minutes) and incubated along with 0.5 mM Substance P in a final volume of 0.125 ml for 30 minutes at 37.degree. C. The reaction is stopped by adding 10 mM EDTA and Substance P7-11 is quantified on RP-8 HPLC. The IC.sub.50 for inhibition of stromelysin activity and Ki are calculated from control reaction without the inhibitor.
Illustrative of the invention, N-hydroxy-2(R)-[[4-methoxybenzenesulfonyl](3-picolyl)amino]-3-methylbutanamide hydrochloride exhibits a Ki of 17 nM in this assay.
Stromelysin activity can also be determined using human aggrecan as a substrate. This assay allows the confirmation in-vitro that a compound can inhibit the action of stromelysin on its highly negatively-charged natural substrate, aggrecan (large aggregating prtoeoglycan). Within the cartilage, proteoglycan exists as an aggregate bound to hyaluronate. Human proteoglycan aggregated to hyaluronate is used as an enzyme substrate. The assay is set up in 96-well microtiter plates allowing rapid evaluation of compounds. The assay has three major steps:
1) Plates are coated with hyaluronate (human umbilical chord, 400 ug/ml), blocked with BSA (5 mg/ml), and then proteoglycan (human articular cartilage D1 -chondroitinase ABC digested, 2 mg/ml) is bound to the hyaluronate. Plates are washed between each step.
2) Buffers+inhibitor (1 to 5,000 nM)+recombinant human stromelysin (1-3 Units/well) are added to wells. The plates are sealed with tape and incubated overnight at 37.degree. C. The plates are then washed.
3) A primary (3B3) antibody (mouse IgM, 1:10,000) is used to detect remaining fragments. A secondary antibody, peroxictidase-linked anti-IgM, is bound to the primary antibody. OPD is then added as a substrate for the peroxidase and the reaction is stopped with sulfuric acid. The IC.sub.50 for inhibition of stromelysin activity is graphically derived and Ki is calculated.
Illustrative of the invention, N-hydroxy-2(R)-[[4-methoxybenzenesulfonyl](3-picolyl)amino]-3-methylbutanamide hydrochloride exhibits an IC.sub.50 of 55 nM in this assay.
Collagenase activity is determined as follows: ninety six-well, flat-bottom microtiter plates are first coated with bovine type I collagen (35 ug/well) over a two-day period at 30.degree. C. using a humidified and then dry atmosphere; plates are rinsed, air dried for 3-4 hours, sealed with Saran wrap and stored in a refrigerator. Human recombinant fibroblast collagenase and a test compound (or buffer) are added to wells (total volume=0.1 ml) and plates are incubated for 2 hours at 35.degree. C. under humidified conditions; the amount of collagenase used per well is that causing approximately 80% of maximal digestion of collagen. The incubation media are removed from the wells, which are then rinsed with buffer, followed by water. Coomasie blue stain is added to the wells for 25 minutes, removed, and wells are again rinsed with water. Sodium dodecyl sulfate (20% in 50% dimethylformamide in water) is added to solubilize the remaining stained collagen and the optical density at 570 nM wave length is measured. The decrease in optical density due to collagenase (from that of collagen without enzyme) is compared to the decrease in optical density due to the enzyme in the presence of test compound, and percent inhibition of enzyme activity is calculated. IC.sub.50 's are determined from a range of concentrations of inhibitors (4-5 concentrations, each tested in triplicate), and K.sub.i values are calculated.
Illustrative of the invention, N-hydroxy-2(R)-[[4-methoxybenzenesulfonyl](3-picolyl)-amino]-3-methylbutanamide hydrochloride exhibits a Ki of 62 nM in this assay.
The effect of compounds of the invention in-vivo can be determined in rabbits. Typically, four rabbits are dosed orally with a compound up to four hours before being injected intra-articularly in both knees (N=8) with 40 Units of recombinant human stromelysin dissolved in 20 mM Tris, 10 mM CaCl.sub.2, and 0.15 M NaCl at pH 7.5. Two hours later the rabbits are sacrificed, synovial lavage is collected, and keratan sulfate (KS) and sulfated glycosaminoglycan (S-GAG) fragments released into the joint are quantitated. Keratan sulfate is measured by an inhibition ELISA using the method of Thonar (Thonar, E. J.-M. A., Lenz, M. E., Klinsworth, G. K., Caterson, B., Pachman, L. M., Glickman, P., Katz, R., Huff, J., Keutmer, K. E. Quantitation of keratan sulfate in blood as a marker of cartilage catabolism, Arthr. Rheum. 28, 1367-1376 (1985)). Sulfated glycosaminoglycans are measured by first digesting the synovial lavage with streptomyces hyaluronidase and then measuring DMB dye binding using the method of Goldberg (Goldberg, R. L. and Kolibas, L. An improved method for determining proteoglycan synthesized by chondrocytes in culture. Connect. Tiss. Res. 24,, 265-275 (1990)). For an i.v. study, a compound is solubilized in 1 ml of PEG-400, and for a p.o. study, a compound is administered in 5 ml of fortified corn starch per kilogram of body weight.

C. overnight. The samples are spun in a microfuge centrifuge at 12,000 rpm for 15 minutes. An aliquot of the supernatant is counted in a scintillation counter to quantitate degraded [.sup.3 H]elastin. IC.sub.50 's are determined from a range of concentrations of the test compounds and the percent inhibition of enzyme activity obtained.
Illustrative of the invention, N-hydroxy-2(R)-[[4-methoxybenzenesulfonyl](3-picolyl)amino]-3-methylbutanamide hydrochloride inhibits the degradation of [.sup.3 H]elastin by mouse macrophage metalloelastase with an IC.sub.50 of about 8 nM.

Example 33: Prepared similarly to the previous examples is N-hydroxy-2(R)-[(4-methoxybenzenesulfonyl)(3-picolyl)amino]-2(trans 4-hydroxycyclohexyl)-acetamide hydrochloride, m.p. 130.degree.-155.degree. C.
The starting material is prepared as follows:
D-4-hydroxyphenylglycine (10 g) is dissolved in 3N sodium hydroxide (20 ml). Water (180 ml) and then Raney nickel (27 g) are added. The reaction mixture is hydrogenated at about 3 atmospheric pressure and 50.degree.-80.degree. C. overnight.
The reaction mixture is filtered and reduced in volume to about 85 ml and dioxane (85 ml) is added. The solution of 4-hydroxycyclohexylglycine (see Coll. Czech. Chem. Comm. 49, 712-742 (1984)) is cooled to 0.degree. C. and treated with triethylamine (11.37 ml) and 4-methoxybenzenesulfonyl chloride (10.95 g). The reaction mixture is allowed to warm to room temperature and stirred over the weekend. The dioxane is removed in vacuo and the remaining aqueous solution is diluted with 1N hydrochloride acid. The resulting precipitate is collected, washed with water and ether to yield (R)-N-(4-methoxybenzenesulfonyl)-4-hydroxycyclohexylglycine which is converted to the methyl ester with methanol in the presence of thionyl chloride. To a solution of (R)-N-(4-methoxybenzenesulfonyl)-4-hydroxycyclohexylglycine methyl ester (0.859 g) in methylene chloride (8 ml) are added acetic arthydride (2.26 ml) and pyridine (3.90 ml). The reaction mixture is stirred at room temperature overnight, quenched with methanol, washed with 1N hydrochloric acid and extracted with methylene chloride. The methylene chloride extract is dried over sodium sulfate and evaporated to dryness to yield (R)-N-(4-methoxybenzenesulfonyl)-4-acetyloxycyclohexylglycine methyl ester. Heating with 3 NHCl at reflux for 24 hours yields (R)-N-(4-methoxybenzenesulfonyl)-4-hydroxycyclohexylglycine.
Example 34: Prepared similarly to the previous examples are
(a) N-hydroxy-2(R)-[(4-methoxybenzenesulfonyl)(benzyl)amino]-2-(trans-4-dimethylaminocyclohexyl)acetamide hydrochloride, m.p. 138.degree.-146.degree. C.
The starting material is prepared as follows:
A solution of oxalyl chloride (1.25 g) in methylene chloride (30 ml) is cooled to -78.degree. C. and dimethylsulfoxide (1.16 ml) is slowly added. The reaction mixture is stirred at -78.degree. C. for about 30 minutes and a solution of (R)-N-(4-methoxybenzenesulfonyl)-4-hydroxycyclohexyglycine methyl ester (2.34 g) in methylene chloride (30 ml) is added dropwise. Stirring is continued for 30 minutes at -78.degree. C. and then at 0.degree. C. for 30 minutes. The reaction mixture is again cooled to -78.degree. C., triethylamine (7.3 ml) is added dropwise, and the reaction mixture is stirred at -78.degree. C. for 30 minutes, allowed to warm to room temperature over an hour, diluted with methylene chloride, washed rust with 1N hydrochloric acid and then brine. The organic layer is dried over sodium sulfate, evaporated to dryness, and the resulting product is purified by flash chromatography using 50-60% ethyl acetate in hexane to yield (R)-N-(4-methoxybenzenesulfonyl)-4-oxocyclohexylglycine methyl ester as a white solid. Treatment with benzyl bromide in DMF in the presence of potassium carbonate at room temperature yields (R)-N-(4-methoxybenzenesulfonyl)-N-benzyl-4-oxocyclohexylglycine methyl ester as an oil. The ketone (2.2 g) is dissolved in methylene chloride (3 ml) and isopropanol (60 ml). Molecular sieves (3A.degree., 1.5 g), sodium cyanoborohydride (0.311 g), and ammonium acetate (3.81 g) are added. The reaction mixture is stirred at room temperature overnight, filtered and evaporated to dryness. The residue is partitioned between water and methylene chloride and the product extracted with methylene chloride. The resulting product is purified by flash chromatography using methanol/methylene chloride/0.5% ammonium hydroxide as eluent to yield (R)-N-(4-methoxybenzenesulfonyl)-N-benzyl-4-aminocyclohexylglycine methyl ester. N-Methylation with formic acid/formaldehyde/sodium formate at reflux temperature followed by hydrolysis with 3N hydrochloric acid at reflux temperature yields 2-(R)-[(4-methoxybenzenesulfonyl)(benzyl)amino]-2-(trans-4-dimethylaminocyclohexyl)acetic acid.
(b) N-hydroxy-2(R)-[(4-methoxybenzenesulfonyl)(benzyl)amino]-2-[trans-4-(dimethylaminoacetylamino)cyclohexyl]acetamide hydrochloride, m.p. 163.degree.-170.degree. C., obtained from (R)-N-(4-methoxybenzenesulfonyl)-N-benzyl-4-aminocyclohexylglycine benzyl ester, which is in turn prepared from (R)-N-(4-methoxybenzenesulfonyl)-4-hydroxycyclohexyl-glycine benzyl ester.
Example 35: A solution of N-benzyloxy-2(R)-[(4-methoxybenzenesulfonyl)(benzyl)amino]-3-hydroxy-4-methylpentanamide (125 mg) in ethanol (100 ml) is hydrogenated in the presence of 5% palladium on charcoal (100 mg) at room temperature and atmospheric pressure to yield N-hydroxy-2(R)-[(4-methoxybenzenesulfonyl)(benzyl)amino]-3-hydroxy-4-methyl-pentanamide, m.p. 81.degree.-82.degree. C.
The starting material is prepared as follows:
(R)-3-hydroxy-4-methyl-2-amino pentanoic acid methyl ester, prepared according to methodology described by Evans in Tetrahedron Letters 28, 39 (1987) and J. Am. Chem. Soc. 109, 7151 (1981) from isobutyraldehyde, is converted, according to methodology in previous examples, to 2(R)-[(4-methoxybenzenesulfonyl)(benzyl)amino]3-hydroxy-4-methylpentanoic acid.
A solution of 2(R)-[(4-methoxybenzenesulfonyl)(benzyl)amino]3-hydroxy-4-methylpentanoic acid (1.4 g) in methylene chloride (3.5 ml) is treated with 2,6-lutidine (1.21 ml) and tert-butyl-dimethylsilyltrifluoromethanesulfonate (2.03 ml) at 0.degree. C. The solution is stirred at 0.degree. C. for 4 hours, then at room temperature for 2 hours, poured into sodium bicarbonate solution (10.0 ml) and extracted with ether. The resulting product is purified by column chromatography on silica gel using gradients of ethyl acetate/hexane as eluent to obtain 2(R)-[(4-methoxybenzenesulfonyl)(benzyl)amino]3-(tert-butyl-dimethylsilyloxy)-4-methylpentanoic acid tert-butyl-dimethylsilyl ester. Treatment of the ester (1.2 g) with potassium carbonate (285 mg) in THF water (1:1) for 30 minutes at 0.degree. under nitrogen, acidification and extraction with ethyl acetate yields 2(R)-[(4-methoxybenzenesulfonyl)(benzyl)amino]3-(tert-butyl-dimethylsilyloxy)-4-methylpentanoic acid.
To a solution of 2(R)-[(4-methoxybenzenesulfonyl)(benzyl)amino]-3-(tert-butyldimethylsilyloxy)-4-methylpentanoic acid (0.5 g) in methylene chloride (10 ml) are added O-benzylhydroxylamine hydrochloride (0.154 g), 1-hydroxy-pyridobenzotriazole (HOPT, 0.131 g), N-methylmorpholine (0.371 ml) at room temperature. Then 1-(3-dimethylaminopropyl)-3-ethyl-carbodiimide (0.370 g) is added at 0.degree. C. and the reaction mixture is stirred at room temperature overnight under nitrogen. The reaction mixture is diluted with ethyl acetate and water, and the ethyl acetate extract is washed with 1N hydrochloric acid, sodium bicarbonate solution, water and brine. The organic phase is dried, evaporated to dryness and the resulting product is purified by flash chromatography using ethyl acetate/hexane gradients as eluent to yield N-benzyloxy-2(R)-[(4-methoxybenzenesulfonyl)(benzyl)amino]-3-ten-butyl-dimethylsilyloxy) 4-methylpentanamide.
A solution of the above (0.4 g) in acetonitrile (6.4 ml) is treated with 48% hydrogen fluoride (0.25 ml) and stirred at room temperature for 4 hours. Workup in the usual manner and purification by chromatography on silica gel with ethyl acetate/hexane gradients as eluent yields N-benzyloxy-2(R)-[(4-methoxybenzenesulfonyl)(benzyl)amino]-3-hydroxy-4-methylpentanamide as an oil.
