Abstract
Compounds of formula (I), which are useful as antihypercholesterolemic agents, are disclosed. ##STR1##
Description
BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION
Hypercholesterolemia is known to be one of the prime risk factors for ischemic cardiovascular disease, such as arteriosclerosis. Bile acid sequestrants have been used to treat this condition; but they seem to be moderately effective but they must be consumed in large quantities, i.e., several grams at a time, and they are not very palatable.
MEVACOR.RTM. (lovastatin), now commercially available is one of a group of very active antihypercholesterolemic agents that function by limiting cholesterol biosynthesis by inhibiting the enzyme, HMG-CoA reductase. Another approach to limiting cholesterol biosynthesis is through inhibition of the enzyme HMG-CoA synthase.
Copending U.S. patent application Ser. No. 053,774, filed May 26, 1987 discloses certain .beta.-lactones of formula (i) ##STR2## which are useful as antihypercholesterolemic agents and are believed to function by inhibiting HMG-CoA synthase. Additional .beta.-lactones which have antihypercholesterolemic activity are disclosed in copending U.S. patent applications Ser. No. 021,848, filed Mar. 4, 1987 and Ser. No. 053,646, filed May 26, 1987.

The alkyl groups referred to above may be straight chain or branched or may include cycloalkyl groups. Halogen or halo means fluoro, chloro, bromo or iodo.
The non-optically active compounds of the present invention may be prepared according to Scheme I. Trimethylsilyl amine is added to an .alpha., .beta. unsaturated aldehyde to form an amine which is then condensed with an ester moiety for form a .beta.-lactam of formula (I-1). Compound (I-1) may, under ozonolysis conditions, be converted to the aldehyde (I-1) or the alcohol (I-3) or (I-1) may be reduced to compound (I-4) which can be sulfonated at the lactam nitrogen. Compound (I-1) may also be converted to the epoxide which can be converted to esters of formula (I-6). The aldehyde compound (I-2) may be treated with a Grignard reagent to form compounds of formula (I-7) where R.sub.o is methyl or phenyl or benzyl. The alcohol (I-3) can be protected at the hydroxyl group, then sulfonated, deprotected and treated with an acylating agent to form compounds of formula (I-9) or an isocyanate to form compounds of formula (I-10). In the alternative the acylation at the hydroxyl group may precede the sulfonation at the lactam nitrogen.
Substituents on an aryl moiety either in R' or R" can be formed after acylation or sulfonation by conversion of aryl substituents such as -NO.sub.2 to -NH.sub.2 followed by further conversion of amino to an amide or sulfonamide functionality. ##STR25##
The optically active compounds of the present invention can be prepared as outlined in Scheme II. ##STR26##
Where the cis R,R stereoisomer is desired it may be formed in the above sequence by employing D-aspartic acid in place of L-aspartic acid. The alcohol (II-1) may be further converted to the corresponding alkyl halide with retention of configuration.
The present invention is also directed to a method of inhibiting cholesterol biosynthesis which comprises the administration to a subject in need of such treatment a nontoxic, therapeutically effective amount of a compound represented by the following general structural formula (I) and pharmaceutically acceptable salts thereof.
The present invention is also directed to a method of inhibiting the activity of HMG-CoA synthase enzyme which comprises the administration to a subject in need of such treatment a nontoxic, therapeutically effective amount of a compound represented by the general structural formula (I) and pharmaceutically acceptable salts thereof.
Specifically the compounds of this invention are useful as antihypercholesterolemic agents for the treatment of arteriosclerosis, hyperlipidemia, familiar hypercholesterolemia and the like diseases in humans. They may be administered parenterally in the form of a capsule, a tablet, an injectable preparation or the like. Doses may be varied, depending on the age, severity, body weight and other conditions of human patients but daily dosage for adults is within a range of from about 20 mg to 2000 mg (preferably 20 to 100 mg) which may be given in two to four divided doses. Higher doses may be favorably employed as required.
The pharmaceutically acceptable salts of the compounds of this invention include those formed from cations such as sodium, potassium, aluminum, calcium, lithium, magnesium, zinc, and from bases such as ammonia, ethylenediamine, N-methylglucamine, lysine, arginine, ornithine, choline, N,N'-dibenzylethylenediamine, chloroprocaine, diethanolamine, procaine, N-benzylphenethylamine, diethylamine, piperazine, tris(hydroxymethyl)aminomethane, and tetramethylammonium hydroxide.
The compounds of this invention may also be coadministered with pharmaceutically acceptable nontoxic cationic polymers capable of binding bile acids in a non-reabsorbable form in the gastrointestinal tract. Examples of such polymers include choloestyramine, colestipol and poly[methyl-(3-trimethylaminopropyl)imino-trimethylene dihalide]. The relative amounts of the compounds of this invention and these polymers is between 1:100 and 1:15,000.
The intrinisic HMG-CoA synthase inhibition activity of the compounds of this invention is measured by the standard in vitro protocol described below:
The livers from male Charles River CD rats (225-350 g) were homogenized in 0.25 M sucrose which was adjusted with phenylmethylsulfonylfluoride (PMSF) and N-p-tosyl-1-lysine chloromethyl ketone (TLCK) so that the final concentration of each was 50 and 25 mg/ml, respectively. The homogenate was centrifuged at 15,000.times. g for 20 minutes, the supernatant filtered through a fine nylon screen to remove most of the fat layer and recentrifuged at 100,000.times. g for 1 hour. This supernatant was removed and 1 M potassium phosphate, dithiothreitol (DTT) and ethylene glycolbis(.beta.-aminoethyl ether)-N,N,N',N'-tetraacetic acid (EGTA) added to give a final concentration of 0.1 M (pH 7.2), 0.5 mM and 0.1 mM, respectively. Solid ammonium sulfate was added to 50% saturation to the protein solution, it was centrifuged at 15,000.times. g and the supernatant discarded. This precipitated protein could be stored at -70.degree. C. for at least one month with very little loss of activity. The ammonium sulfate precipitate was dissolved in an minimal amount of 0.06 M potassium phosphate buffer (pH 7.2) containing 0.5 mM dithiothreitol and 0.1 mM EGTA (referred to as 0.06 M phosphate buffer) and dialyzed overnight against 2 liters of the same buffer to remove the ammonium sulfate and to inactivate HMG-CoA lyase [Clinkenbeard, et al., J. Biol. Chem. 250, 3108-3116(1975)].
The dialyzed extract was added to a column of DEAE-52 (Whatman) which had been equilibrated with 0.06 M phosphate buffer (10 mg of protein in 1 ml bed volume of the resin). The DEAE-cellulose was eluted with 0.06 M phosphate buffer until the optical density at 280 nm was essentially zero. This fraction contained the .beta.-ketoacetyl-CoA thiolase activity. The HMG-CoA synthase was eluted from the column with 0.1 M phosphate buffer (pH 7.2) containing 0.5 mM DTT and 0.1 nM EGTA, and was virtually free of all thiolase activity. The protein was precipitated by the addition of ammonium sulfate to give 50% saturation. This solution was stirred for 10 minutes at 4.degree. C. and the precipitate collected by centrifugation at 15,000 rpm for 10 minutes. The supernatant was discarded and the precipitate dissolved in a minimum of 0.06 M phosphate buffer, pH 7.2 (about 10 ml) and the enzyme stored at -80.degree. C.

The incubation took place in a volume of 0.085 ml at 30.degree. in a shaking water bath. After 5 minutes, 15 ml of a solution containing acetoacetyl-CoA and 0.1 .mu.Ci of 1-[.sup.14 C]-acetyl-CoA was added to give a final concentrations of 0.1 and 0.4 .mu.M, respectively. The incubation was continued for 10 more minutes and the reaction stopped by the addition of 50 ml of the assay mixture to 0.2 ml of 6N HCl in a glass scintillation vial. The vial was heated for 1 hour at 120.degree. after which time 0.2 ml more of 6N HCl was again added to each vial and the heating continued for another hour. Following this, 1.0 ml of 0.9% saline was added to each vial and finally 10 ml of scintillation liquid. Radioactivity was determined in a Packard Tri-Carb liquid scintillation counter. Percent inhibition is calculated by the formula: ##EQU1##
IC.sub.50 values were determined by plotting the log of the concentration of the test compound verses the percentage inhibition and fitting a straight line to the resulting data by using the least squares method.
