The present invention relates to new inhibitors of the dihydroorotate dehydrogenase (DHODH). These compounds are useful in the treatment, prevention or suppression of diseases and disorders known to be susceptible to improvement by inhibition of dihydroorotate dehydrogenase, such as autoimmune diseases, immune and inflammatory diseases, destructive bone disorders, malignant neoplastic diseases, angiogenic-related disorders, viral diseases, and infectious diseases.
The enzyme dihydroorotate dehydrogenase (DHODH) is the enzyme that catalyzes the fourth step in the pyrimidine biosynthetic pathway namely the conversion of dihydroorotate to orotate concomitantly with a electron transfer to ubiquinone (cofactor Q) via a flavin mononucleotide intermediate (Loffler et al Mol Cell Biochem, 1997). In contrast to parasites (Plasmodium falciparum) (McRobert et al Mol Biochem Parasitol 2002) and bacteria (E. coli) which exclusively have this de novo pathway as the source of pyrimidines, mammal cells have an additional salvage pathway.
During homeostatic proliferation, the salvage pathway which is independent of DHODH seems sufficient for the cellular supply with pyrimidine bases. Only, cells with a high turnover and particularly T and B lymphocytes need the de novo pathway to proliferate. In these cells, DHODH inhibition stops the cell cycle progression suppressing DNA synthesis and consequently cell proliferation (Breedveld F C et al Ann Rheum Dis 2000).
Therefore, inhibitors of DHODH show beneficial immunosuppressant and antiproliferative effects in human diseases characterized by abnormal and uncontrollable cell proliferation causing chronic inflammation and tissue destruction.
In addition to abolish lymphocyte proliferation inhibitors of DHODH (i.e. teriflunomide, Maritimus (FK778) and brequinar) have an anti-inflammatory action by inhibition of cytokine production and nuclear factor (NF)-kB-signalling, monocyte migration and increased production of transforming growth factor beta-1 and induces a shift from T helper cell type 1 (Th1) to type 2 (Th2) subpopulation differentiation (Manna et al. J Immunol 2000) (Dimitrova et al J. Immunol. 2002). Furthermore, the osteoclast differentiation mediated by RANKL decreased by DHODH inhibition (Urushibara et al. Arthritis Rheum 2004).
In co-crystallisation experiments with two inhibitors of DHODH that reached clinical trials, Brequinar (Dexter D. L. et al.; Cancer Res. 1985) and Teriflunomide (A77-1726), were both found to bind in a common site, that is also believed to be the binding site of the cofactor ubiquinone (Liu et al; Struc. Fold. Des. 2000).
Leflunomide sold under the trade name Arava (EP 0 780 128, WO 97/34600), was the first DHODH inhibitor that reached the market place. Leflunomide is the prodrug of teriflunomide, which is the active metabolite inhibiting human DHODH with a moderate potency (Fox et al, J. Rheumatol. Suppl. 1998).
Leflunomide is a DMARD (disease modifying anti-rheumatic drug) from Aventis, which was approved by the FDA for the treatment of rheumatoid arthritis in 1998 and by the EMEA for the treatment of psoriatic arthritis in 2004. Currently Leflunomide is under active development for the treatment of systemic lupus erythematosus, Wegener's granulomatosis (Metzler et al; Rheumatology 2004; 43(3), 315-320) and HIV infection. Moreover, teriflunomide, its active metabolite is efficacious in multiple sclerosis and right now is in Phase III clinical trials (O'Connor et al Neurology 2006).
Other data are emerging in other closely related diseases such as ankylosing spondilitis (Haibel et al.; Ann. Rheum. Dis. 2005), polyarticular juvenile idiopathic arthritis (Silverman et al.; Arthritis Rheum. 2005) and Sarcoidosis (Baughman et al.; Sarcoidosis Vasc. Diffuse Lung Dis. 2004). Furthermore, leflunomide and FK778 have shown and excellent antiviral activity against cytomegalovirus. Leflunomide is currently indicated as second-line therapy for cytomegalovirus disease after organ transplantation (John et al Transplantation 2004). In addition Leflunomide reduces HIV replication by about 75% at concentration that can be obtained with conventional dosing (Schlapfer E et al. AIDS 2003).
In view of the physiological effects mediated by inhibition of dehydroorotate dehydrogenase, several DHODH inhibitors have been recently disclosed for the treatment or prevention of autoimmune diseases, immune and inflammatory diseases, destructive bone disorders, malignant neoplastic diseases, angiogenic-related disorders, viral diseases, and infectious diseases. See for example WO 06/044741; WO 06/022442; WO 06/001961, WO 04/056747, WO 04/056746, WO 03/006425, WO 02/080897 and WO 99/45926.
Diseases or disorders in which DHODH inhibition plays a role include without limitation autoimmune diseases, immune and inflammatory diseases, destructive bone disorders, malignant neoplastic diseases, angiogenic-related disorders, viral diseases, and infectious diseases.
Autoimmune diseases which may be prevented or treated include but are not limited to rheumatoid arthritis, psoriatic arthritis, systemic lupus erythematosus, multiple sclerosis, psoriasis, ankylosing spondilytis, Wegener's granulomatosis, polyarticular juvenile idiopathic arthritis, inflammatory bowel disease such as ulcerative colitis and Crohn's disease, Reiter's syndrome, fibromyalgia and type-1 diabetes.
Immune and inflammatory diseases which may be prevented or treated include but are not limited to asthma, COPD, respiratory distress syndrome, acute or chronic pancreatitis, graft versus-host disease, chronic sarcoidosis, transplant rejection, contact dermatitis, atopic dermatitis, allergic rhinitis; allergic conjunctivitis, Behcet syndrome, inflammatory eye conditions such as conjunctivitis and uveitis.
Destructive bone disorders which may be prevented or treated include but are not limited to osteoporosis, osteoarthritis and multiple myeloma-related bone disorder. Malignant neoplastic diseases that may be prevented or treated include but are not limited to prostate, ovarian and brain cancer.
Agiogenesis-related disorders that may be prevented or treated include but are not limited to hemangiomas, ocular neovascularization, macular degeneration or diabetic retinopathy. Viral diseases which may be prevented or treated include but are not limited to HIV infection, hepatitis and cytomegalovirus infection.
Infectious diseases which may be prevented or treated include but are not limited to sepsis, septic shock, endotoxic shock, Gram negative sepsis, toxic shock syndrome, Shigellosis and other protozoal infestations such as malaria.
It has now been found that certain azabiphenylaminobenzoic acid derivatives are novel potent inhibitors of DHODH and can therefore be used in the treatment or prevention of these diseases.
Further objectives of the present invention are to provide a method for preparing said compounds; pharmaceutical compositions comprising an effective amount of said compounds; the use of the compounds in the manufacture of a medicament for the treatment of pathological conditions or diseases susceptible to improvement by inhibition of DHODH wherein the pathological condition or disease is selected from rheumatoid arthritis, psoriatic arthritis, ankylosing spondilytis, multiple sclerosis, Wegener's granulomatosis, systemic lupus erythematosus, psoriasis and sarcoidosis and methods of treatment of pathological conditions or diseases susceptible to amelioration by inhibition of DHODH wherein the pathological condition or disease is selected from rheumatoid arthritis, psoriatic arthritis, ankylosing spondilytis, multiple sclerosis, Wegener's granulomatosis, systemic lupus erythematosus, psoriasis and sarcoidosis comprising the administration of the compounds of the invention to a subject in need of treatment.
Thus, the present invention is directed to compounds of formula (I) for use in the treatment or prevention of a pathological condition or disease susceptible to amelioration by inhibition of dehydroortate dehydrogenase

Pharmacological Activity
Inhibition of Human DHODH Activity Assay
DHODH activity and its inhibition were studied using a chromogen reduction assay with DCIP (2,6-dichlorophenol-indophenol). The substrate oxidation (Dihydroorotate, L-DHO), as well as cosubstrate reduction (coenzyme Q, CoQ) is coupled to the chromogen reduction, hence enzymatic activity results in a loss of chromogen absorbance at 600 nm. Enzyme extracts (8 μl, ˜1.5 μg of human protein) were incubated in 96-well plates. The assay mixture (200 μl) contained 200 μM CoQD, 100 μM L-DHO, 120 μM DCIP in the assay buffer (100 mM HEPES pH 8.0, 150 mM NaCl, 10% Glicerol, 0.05% Triton X-100) and 2 μl of test compound. The compounds were dissolved in DMSO at a stock concentration of 1 mM, and tested at different concentrations varying from 10 μM to 1 μM to calculate an IC50 (concentration of inhibitor required for 50% of inhibition).
The reaction was initiated by adding the enzyme and then incubated for 10 min at room temperature before measuring DCIP reduction by counting a decrease in absorbance at 600 nm using standard instrumentation (Spectramax).
All reactions were carried out in duplicate and graphs, determining IC50 values for each compound, were plotted using the ABase software.
Table 1 shows the activities in human DHODH inhibition assay of some compounds of the present invention showing that these compounds are potent DHODH inhibitors.
Functional Assay: Inhibition of Lymphocyte Proliferation
Peripheral blood mononuclear cells (PBMC) of healthy volunteers were prepared using Ficoll density centrifugation. Cells were seeded at 1×105 cells per well in 96 well flat bottom plates in RPMI 1640 supplemented with 5% fetal bovine serum, 2 mM L-glutamine and penicillin/streptomycin. Then, PBMC were activated with 1 μg/ml phytohaemagglutinin (PHA, Sigma) and incubated with a dilution series of different concentrations of test compounds for 3 days. After this period, cells were pulsed with 0.5 μCi per well of tritiated thymidine and incubated overnight. Next, the cultures are harvested on filter papers and counted with a B-counter. The IC50 value for each compound was calculated from the dose response curves.
The compounds of the invention that have been tested using this Assay had an IC50 of less than 10 μM. Preferred compounds of the invention had IC50 of less than 4 μM, preferably lower than 2 μM, most preferably lower than 1 μM.
As shown by these results, the compounds of the invention effectively inhibit DHODH thereby inhibiting the proliferation of cells with high turnover, in particular lymphocytes.

The combinations of the invention may be used in the treatment of disorders which are susceptible to amelioration by inhibition of the dihydroorotate dehydrogenase. Thus, the present application encompasses methods of treatment of these disorders, as well as the use of the combinations of the invention in the manufacture of a medicament for the treatment of these disorders.
Preferred examples of such disorders are rheumatoid arthritis, psoriatic arthritis, ankylosing spondilytis, multiple sclerosis, Wegener's granulomatosis, systemic lupus erythematosus, psoriasis and sarcoidosis, more preferably rheumatoid arthritis, psoriatic arthritis and psoriasis and most preferably rheumatoid arthritis.
The active compounds in the combinations of the invention may be administered by any suitable route, depending on the nature of the disorder to be treated, e.g. orally (as syrups, tablets, capsules, lozenges, controlled-release preparations, fast-dissolving preparations, etc); topically (as creams, ointments, lotions, nasal sprays or aerosols, etc); by injection (subcutaneous, intradermic, intramuscular, intravenous, etc.) or by inhalation (as a dry powder, a solution, a dispersion, etc).
The active compounds in the combination, i.e. the inhibitor of the dihydroorotate dehydrogenase of the invention, and the other optional active compounds may be administered together in the same pharmaceutical composition or in different compositions intended for separate, simultaneous, concomitant or sequential administration by the same or a different route.
One execution of the present invention consists of a kit of parts comprising an inhibitor of the dihydroorotate dehydrogenase of the invention together with instructions for simultaneous, concurrent, separate or sequential use in combination with another active compound useful in the treatment of rheumatoid arthritis, psoriatic arthritis, ankylosing spondilytis, multiple sclerosis, Wegener's granulomatosis, systemic lupus erythematosus, psoriasis and sarcoidosis.
Another execution of the present invention consists of a package comprising an inhibitor of the dihydroorotate dehydrogenase of formula (I) and another active compound useful in the treatment of rheumatoid arthritis, psoriatic arthritis, ankylosing spondilytis, multiple sclerosis, Wegener's granulomatosis, systemic lupus erythematosus, psoriasis and sarcoidosis.
The pharmaceutical formulations may conveniently be presented in unit dosage form and may be prepared by any of the methods well known in the art of pharmacy.
Formulations of the present invention suitable for oral administration may be presented as discrete units such as capsules, cachets or tablets each containing a predetermined amount of the active ingredient; as a powder or granules; as a solution or a suspension in an aqueous liquid or a non-aqueous liquid; or as an oil-in-water liquid emulsion or a water-in-oil liquid emulsion. The active ingredient may also be presented as a bolus, electuary or paste.
A syrup formulation will generally consist of a suspension or solution of the compound or salt in a liquid carrier for example, ethanol, peanut oil, olive oil, gylcerine or water with flavouring or colouring agent.
Where the composition is in the form of a tablet, any pharmaceutical carrier routinely used for preparing solid formulations may be used. Examples of such carriers include magnesium stearate, talc, gelatine, acacia, stearic acid, starch, lactose and sucrose.
A tablet may be made by compression or moulding, optionally with one or more accessory ingredients. Compressed tablets may be prepared by compressing in a suitable machine the active ingredient in a free-flowing form such as a powder or granules, optionally mixed with a binder, lubricant, inert diluent, lubricating, surface active or dispersing agent.
Moulded tablets may be made by moulding in a suitable machine a mixture of the powdered compound moistened with an inert liquid diluent. The tablets may optionally be coated or scored and may be formulated so as to provide slow or controlled release of the active ingredient therein.
Where the composition is in the form of a capsule, any routine encapsulation is suitable, for example using the aforementioned carriers in a hard gelatine capsule. Where the composition is in the form of a soft gelatine capsule any pharmaceutical carrier routinely used for preparing dispersions or suspensions may be considered, for example aqueous gums, celluloses, silicates or oils, and are incorporated in a soft gelatine capsule.
Dry powder compositions for topical delivery to the lung by inhalation may, for example, be presented in capsules and cartridges of for example gelatine or blisters of for example laminated aluminium foil, for use in an inhaler or insufflator. Formulations generally contain a powder mix for inhalation of the compound of the invention and a suitable powder base (carrier substance) such as lactose or starch. Use of lactose is preferred. Each capsule or cartridge may generally contain between 2 μg and 150 μg of each therapeutically active ingredient. Alternatively, the active ingredient (s) may be presented without excipients.
Typical compositions for nasal delivery include those mentioned above for inhalation and further include non-pressurized compositions in the form of a solution or suspension in an inert vehicle such as water optionally in combination with conventional excipients such as buffers, anti-microbials, tonicity modifying agents and viscosity modifying agents which may be administered by nasal pump.
Typical dermal and transdermal formulations comprise a conventional aqueous or non-aqueous vehicle, for example a cream, ointment, lotion or paste or are in the form of a medicated plaster, patch or membrane.
Preferably the composition is in unit dosage form, for example a tablet, capsule or metered aerosol dose, so that the patient may administer a single dose.
The amount of each active which is required to achieve a therapeutic effect will, of course, vary with the particular active, the route of administration, the subject under treatment, and the particular disorder or disease being treated.
Effective doses are normally in the range of 2-2000 mg of active ingredient per day. Daily dosage may be administered in one or more treatments, preferably from 1 to 4 treatments, per day. Preferably, the active ingredients are administered once or twice a day.
When combinations of actives are used, it is contemplated that all active agents would be administered at the same time, or very close in time. Alternatively, one or two actives could be taken in the morning and the other (s) later in the day. Or in another scenario, one or two actives could be taken twice daily and the other (s) once daily, either at the same time as one of the twice-a-day dosing occurred, or separately. Preferably at least two, and more preferably all, of the actives would be taken together at the same time. Preferably, at least two, and more preferably all actives would be administered as an admixture.
The following preparations forms are cited as formulation examples:
50,000 capsules, each containing 100 mg of 5-cyclopropyl-2-(5-methyl-6-(3-trifluoromethoxy)phenyl)pyridin-3-ylamino)benzoic acid (active ingredient), were prepared according to the following formulation:
Procedure
The above ingredients were sieved through a 60 mesh sieve, and were loaded into a suitable mixer and filled into 50,000 gelatine capsules.
50,000 tablets, each containing 50 mg of 5-cyclopropyl-2-(5-methyl-6-(3-trifluoromethoxy)phenyl)pyridin-3-ylamino)benzoic acid (active ingredient), were prepared from the following formulation:
Procedure
All the powders were passed through a screen with an aperture of 0.6 mm, then mixed in a suitable mixer for 20 minutes and compressed into 300 mg tablets using 9 mm disc and flat bevelled punches. The disintegration time of the tablets was about 3 minutes.
