Description
TECHNICAL FIELD

The present invention relates to a bicyclic aromatic substituted pyridone derivative. The compound acts as a melanin concentrating hormone receptor antagonist, and is useful as a preventive, treating or remedial agent for various circular system diseases, nervous system diseases, metabolic diseases, genital diseases, respiratory diseases, digestive diseases, etc.


BACKGROUND ART

Melanin concentrating hormone (hereafter referred to as “MCH”) is a cyclic peptide hormone/neuro-peptide, which was for the first time isolated by Kawauchi, et al., in 1983 from sermon hypophysis. [Nature, Vol. 305, 321 (1983)]. The hormone is known to functionally antagonize for melanin cell stimulating hormone in fishes, to cause concentration of melanin granules in melanophore and participate in body color change [International Review of Cytology, Vol. 126, 1 (1991); Trends in Endocrinology and Metabolism, Vol. 5, 120 (1994)]. Also in mammals, MCH-containing neuron cells are localized in the hypothalamus lateral field and uncertain zone, but their nerve fibers are projecting over a very wide scope in the brain [see The Journal of Comparative Neurology, Vol. 319, 218 (1992)], and MCH is considered to preside over various central functions in living bodies.


Hypothalamus lateral field is known of old as feeding center, and furthermore, recently molecular biological and pharmacological knowledges suggesting participation of MCH in controlling energetic homeostasis are being much accumulated. That is, it has been reported that expression of mRNA, which is an MCH precursor, is accelerated in the brains of ob/ob mice, db/db mice, Ay/a mice, Zucker fatty rats which are model animals of hereditary obesity, and in the brains of fasting mice [see Nature, Vol. 380, 243 (1996); Diabetes, Vol. 47, 294 (1998); Biochemical and Biophysical Research Communications, Vol. 268, 88 (2000); Molecular Brain Research, Vol. 92, 43 (2001)].


Acute ventricular administration of MCH to rats was observed to induce accelerated feeding activity [Nature, Vol. 380, 243 (1996)] and chronic administration invites obesity accompanied by polyphagy [see Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences of the United States of America, Vol. 99, 3240 (2002)]. Moreover, MCH precursor gene-deficient mice show reduced food ingestion or rise in oxygen consumption per body weight compared to wild type mice. Their low body weight due to decrease in body fat was observed [see Nature, Vol. 396, 670 (1998)].


On the contrary, transgenic mice which express excessive MCH precursor develop obesity accompanied by polyphagy and insulin resistance [The Journal of Clinical Investigation, Vol. 107, 379 (2001)]. Consequently, it is suggested that MCH is an important factor for developing obesity and participates in diseases induced by metabolic disorders or respiratory diseases for which obesity is one risk factor. Besides, MCH is known to participate also in anxiety-causing action, epilepsy, memory, learning, diuretic action, sodium/potassium excretory action, oxytocin secreting action, reproduction and reproductive function [see Peptides, Vol. 17, 171 (1996); Peptides, Vol. 18, 1095 (1997); Peptides, Vol. 15, 757 (1994); Journal of Neuroendocrinology, Vol. 8, 57 (1996); Critical Reviews in Neurobiology, Vol. 8, 221 (1994)].


MCH causes versatile pharmacological actions through MCH receptors which are present mainly in the central nervous system. As receptors of MCH, at least two types of type 1 receptors (MCH-1R or SLC-1) and type 2 receptors (MCH-2R or SLT) are known [see Nature, Vol. 400, 261 (1999); Nature, Vol. 400, 265 (1999); Biochemical and Biophysical Research Communications, Vol. 261, 622 (1999); Nature Cell Biology, Vol. 1, 267 (1999); FEBS Letters, Vol. 457, 522 (1999); Biochemical and Biophysical Research Communications, Vol. 283, 1013 (2001); The Journal of Biological Chemistry, Vol. 276, 20125 (2001); Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences of the United States of America, Vol. 98, 7564 (2001); Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences of the United States of America, Vol. 98, 7576 (2001); The Journal of Biological Chemistry, Vol. 276, 34664 (2001); Molecular Pharmacology, Vol. 60, 632 (2001)].


Of those, the pharmacological action observed on rodents is induced mainly via MCH-1R [see Genomics, Vol. 79, 785 (2002)]. Because MCH-1R gene-deficient mice chronically administered with MCH do not develop polyphagy or obesity, it is known that controlling of energy metabolism by MCH is induced via MCH-1R. Furthermore, the deficiency of MCH-1R is known to promote the activity amount of mice [see Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences of the United States of America, Vol. 99, 3240 (2002)], and its participation in central diseases accompanied by behavioral disorders, for example, attention-deficit hyperactivity disorder, schizophrenia, depression and the like also is strongly suggested [see Molecular Medicine Today, Vol. 6, 43 (2000); Trends in Neuroscience, Vol. 24, 527 (2001)].


It is also reported that an autoantibody to MCH-1R is present in serum of vitiligo vulgaris patients [see The Journal of Clinical Investigation, Vol. 109, 923 (2002)]. Furthermore, expression of MCH-1R in certain species of cancer cells was reported, and in vivo expression sites of MCH and MCH-1R also suggest MCH's participation in cancer, sleep, vigil, drug dependence and digestive disorders [see Biochemical and Biophysical Research Communications, Vol. 289, 44 (2001); Neuroendocrinology, Vol. 61, 348 (1995); Endocrinology, Vol. 137, 561 (1996); The Journal of Comparative Neurology, Vol. 435, 26 (2001)].


Functions of MCH are expressed upon it binding to MCH receptors. Therefore, when its binding to MCH receptor is inhibited, then expression of MCH action can be inhibited. In consequence, substances which are antagonists for binding of MCH with its receptor are useful as preventive, treating or remedial agents for those various diseases in which MCH participates, for example, metabolic disorders such as obesity, diabetes, hormone disorder, hyperlipidemia, gout, fatty liver; cardiovascular disorders such as stenocardia, acute or congestive heart failure, myocardial infarction, coronary atherosclerosis, hypertension, renal diseases, electrolyte abnormality; central and peripheral nervous system disorders such as bulimia, emotional disturbance, depression, anxiety, epilepsy, delirium, dementia, schizophrenia, attention-deficit hyperactivity disorder, memory impairment, sleep disorders, cognitive failure, dyskinesia, paresthesias, smell disorders, morphine tolerance, drug dependence, alcoholism; reproductive disorders such as infertility, preterm labor and sexual dysfunction; and other digestive disorders, respiratory disorders, cancer or pigmentation et al.


As compounds having an MCH receptor antagonistic effect, for example, various compounds are disclosed in International Patent Publication Nos. WO01/21577, WO01/82925, WO02/06245, WO02/02744. However, they do not have a pyridone ring.


WO02/81454 (Patent Reference 1) discloses a pyridone derivative having an anti-hyperglycemia activity. However, concrete compounds in the reference have a single bond in the site of —Y1—Y2—Y3— in the formula of the present invention; but in the present invention, Y1, Y2 and Y3 are not all single bonds at the same time, and therefore the present invention differs from Patent Reference 1. Further, the reference does not describe an MCH receptor antagonistic effect.


WO03/68230 (Patent Reference 2) discloses a pyridone derivative having a P38MAP kinase activity. However, concrete compounds disclosed in the reference have a monocyclic substituent as the —Ar2— moiety in the formula of the present invention, therefore differing from the present invention in which the moiety is a bicyclic substituent; and further, the reference does not describe an MCH receptor antagonistic effect.

Patent Reference 2: International Patent Publication WO03/68230

MCH Binding Inhibition Test

A human MCH-1R encoding cDNA sequence [FEBS Letters, Vol. 398, 253 (1996); Biochimica et Biophisica Acta, Vol. 1401, 216 (1998)] was cloned to a plasmid vector pEF/myc/cyto (Invitrogen Corporation). The obtained expression vector was transfected to host cells CHO-K1 (American Type Culture Collection) using Lipofectamine Plus Reagent (Life Technology Inc.) to provide MCH-1R expression cells.


Membrane samples prepared from the MCH-1R expression cells were incubated with each test compound and 50 pM of [125I]MCH (NEN Co.), in an assay buffer (50 mM Tris buffer comprising 10 mM magnesium chloride, 2 mM ethylenediamine tetraacetate, 0.01% bacitracin and 0.2% bovine serum albumin; pH 7.4) at 25° C. for an hour, followed by filtration through a glass filter GF/C (Wattman Co.). After washing the glass filter with 50 mM Tris buffer (pH 7.4) comprising 10 mM magnesium chloride, 2 mM ethylenediamine tetraacetate and 0.04% Tween-20, the radioactive activity on the glass filter was measured. The non-specific binding was measured in the presence of 1 μM human MCH and 50% inhibition concentration (IC50 value) of each test compound to the specific [125I]MCH binding was determined. The results are shown in Table 7.
