Benzofuranyl-and-thiophenyl-alkanecarboxyclic acid derivatives

The invention relates to benzofuranyl- and -thiophenyl-alkanecarboxyclic acids derivatives, processes for their preparation and their use in medicaments.
It is known that the NADPH oxidase of phagocytes is the physiological source to the superoxide radical anion and reactive oxygen species derived therefrom which are important in the defence against pathogens. Uncontrolled formation leads to tissue damage in inflammatory processes. It is additionally known that elevation of phagocyte cyclic AMP leads to inhibition of oxygen radical production and that this cell function is more sensitive than others such as aggregation or enzyme release (cf. Inb. Arch. Allergy Immunol., vol. 97: pp 194-199, 1992).
Benzofuran- and benzothiophene derivatives having lipoxygenase-inhibiting action are described in the publication EP 146 243.
Surprisingly it was found that compounds given by the general formula (I) inhibited oxygen radical formation and elevated cellular cyclic AMP levels probably by inhibition of phagocyte phosphodiesterase activity.

The compounds according to the invention specifically inhibit the production of superoxide by polymorphonuclear leucocytes (PMN) without impairing other cell functions such as degranulation or aggregation. The inhibition was mediated by the elevation of cellular cAMP due to inhibition of the type IV phosphodiesterase responsible for its degradation
They can therefore be employed in medicaments for controlling acute and chronic inflammatory processes.
The compounds according to the invention are preferably suitable for the treatment and prevention of acute and chronic inflammations of the airways, such as emphysema, alveolitis, shock lung, asthma, bronchitis, arteriosclerosis, arthrosis, inflammations of the gastro-intestinal tract and myocarditis. The compounds according to the invention are additionally suitable for reducing the damage to infarct tissue after reoxygenation. In this case the simultaneous administration of allopurinol to inhibit xanthine oxidase is of advantage. Combination therapy with superoxide dismutase is also of use.
TEST DESCRIPTION
1. Preparation of human PMN
Blood was taken from healthy subjects by venous puncture and neutrophils were purified by dextran sedimentation and resuspended in the buffered medium.
2. Inhibition of FMLP-stimulated production of superoxide racidal anions.
Neutrophils (2.5.times.10.sup.5 ml.sup.-1) were mixed with cytochrome C (1.2 mg/ml) in the wells of a microtitre plate. Compounds according to the invention were added in dimethyl sulphoxide (DMSO). Compound concentration ranged from 2.5 nM to 10 .mu.M, the DMSO concentration was 0.1% v/v in all wells. After addition of cytochalasin b (5 .mu.g.times.ml.sup.-1) the plate was incubated for 5 min at 37.degree. C. Neutrophils were then stimulated by addition of 4.times.10.sup.-8 M FMLP and superoxide generation measured as superoxide dismutase inhibitable reduction of cytochrome C by monitoring the OD.sub.550 in a Thermomax microtitre plate spectrophotometer. Initial rates were calculated using a Softmax kinetic calculation programme. Blank wells contained 200 units of superoxide dismutase.
The inhibition of superoxide production was calculated as follows: ##EQU1## Rx=Rate of the well containing the compound according to the invention. Ro=Rate in the control well.
Rb=Rate in the superoxide dismutase containing blank well.
3. Measurement of PMN cyclic AMP concentration
The compounds according to the invention were incubated with 3.7.times.10.sup.6 PMN for 5 min at 37.degree. C. before addition of 4.times.10.sup.-8 M FMLP. After 6 min protein was precipitated by the addition of 1% v/v conc. HCl in 96% v/v ethanol containing 0.1 mM EDTA. After centrifugation the ethanolic extracts were evaporated to dryness under N.sub.2 and resuspended in 50 mM Tris/HCl pH 7.4 containing 4 mM EDTA. The cyclic AMP concentration in the extracts was determined using a cyclic AMP binding protein assay supplied by Amersham International plc. Cyclic AMP concentrations were expressed as percentage of vehicle containing control incubations.

4. Assay of PMN phosphodiesterase
PMN suspensions (10.sup.7 cells/ml) were sonicated for 6.times.10 sec on ice. Aliquots (100 .mu.l) were incubated for 5 min at 37.degree. C. with the compounds according to the invention or vehicle before the addition of .sup.3 H-cAMP (1 mM and 200 nCi per incubation). After 20 min the reaction was stopped by heating at 100.degree. C. for 45 seconds. After cooling 100 mg of 5'-nucleotidase was added to each tube and the samples incubated for 15 min at 37.degree. C. The conversion to .sup.3 H-adenosine was determined by ion-exchange chromatography on Dowex AG-1x (chloride form) followed by liquid scintillation counting. Percentage inhibition was determined by comparison to vehicle containing controls.
5. Effect of intravenously administered compounds on the FMLP-induced skin oedama of guinea pigs.
Guinea-pigs (600-800 g) were anaesthetized with pentobarbitone sodium (40 mg/kg, i.p.) and injected (i.V.) with a 0.5 ml mixture of pentamine sky blue (5% W/V) and .sup.125 I-HSA (1 .mu.l/animal). 10 minutes later 3 intradermal injections of FMLP (10 .mu.g/site), 1 injection of histamine (1 .mu.g/site) and 1 injection of vehicle (100 .mu.l of 0.2% DMSO V/V in Hanks Buffered salt solution) were made on the left hand side of the animal (preinjection sites). 5 minutes later the drug (1 ml/kg) or the vehicle (50% PEG 400 V/V in distilled water, 1 ml/kg) was administered (i.V.). 10 minutes later an identical pattern of intradermal injections was made on the opposite flank of the animal (post-injection sites). These responses were allowed to develop for 15 minutes before the animal was sacrificed and a blood sample taken.
Skin sites and plasma samples were counted for 1 minute on a gamma counter and the degree of oedema calculated as .mu.l plasma/skin site. Statistical analysis was done by a paired t-test on the mean of the 3 pre-injection site values of .mu.l plasma obtained for FMLP/animal. The percentage inhibition of drug or vehicle was calculated as follows ##EQU2##

The new active compounds can be converted in a known manner into the customary formulations, such as tablets, coated tablets, pills, granules, aerosols, syrups, emulsions, suspensions and solutions, using inert, nontoxic, pharmaceutically suitable excipients or solvents. In this connection, the therapeutically active compound should in each case be present in a concentration of about 0.5 to 90% by weight of the total mixture, i.e. in amounts which are sufficient in order to achieve the dosage range indicated.
The formulations are prepared, for example, by extending the active compounds with solvents and/or excipients, if appropriate using emulsifiers and/or dispersants, where, for example, in the case of the use of water as a diluent, organic solvents can be used as auxiliary solvents if appropriate.
Administration is carded out in a customary manner, preferably orally or parenterally, in particular perlingually or intravenously.
In the case of parenteral administration, solutions of the active compound can be employed using suitable liquid vehicles.
In general, it has proved advantageous on intravenous administration to administer amounts from about 0.001 to 10 mg/kg, preferably about 0.01 to 5 mg/kg of body weight to achieve effective results, and on oral administration the dosage is about 0.01 to 25 mg/kg, preferably 0.1 to 10 mg/kg of body weight.
In spite of this, it may be necessary to depart from the amounts mentioned, in particular depending on the body weight or the type of application route, on individual behaviour towards the medicament, the manner of its formulation and the time or interval at which administration takes place. Thus, in some cases it may be sufficient to manage with less than the abovementioned minimum mount, while in other cases the upper limit mentioned must be exceeded. In the case of administration of relatively large amounts, it is advisable to divide these into several individual doses over the course of the day.
