Description
FIELD OF THE INVENTION

The present invention relates to novel bronchorelaxing compounds, pharmaceutical compositions comprising such compounds, and a method of treating or allevating conditions accompanied by bronchoconstriction.


BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION

Airway obstruction, accompanied by an increase in the contractile state of the bronchial smooth muscle, is prominent in a number of diseases of the respiratory apparatus, in particular asthma, chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (which comprises chronic bronchitis and emphysema), bronchiectasis, cystic fibrosis, bronchiolitis and bronchopulmonary dysplasia. Bronchoconstriction may be caused by a number of factors that affect the bronchi and other parts of the respiratory apparatus independent of each other or in combination. The available means for treating or preventing bronchoconstriction are insufficient in many respects. Thus new compounds that exert a relaxing effect on constricted bronchi are much in need.


OBJECTS OF THE INVENTION

It is an object of the present invention to provide a compound for treating or preventing bronchoconstriction and for use in treating diseases such as asthma, in which bronchoconstriction is prominent.


It is another object of the present invention to provide a pharmaceutical composition comprising said compound.


Still another object of the present invention is to provide a method for treating or preventing bronchoconstriction by administration of such compound to a person in need.


Further objects of the invention will become apparent from the following summary of the invention, the description of preferred embodiments thereof, and the appended claims.

The compounds of the invention have been tested for their bronchoconstriction-inhibiting or bronchorelaxing effect in a model comprising a human bronchus preparation. The model is described in detail in the Preferred Embodiments section. Particularly preferred compounds according to the invention are those which exhibit in this model a bronchorelaxing effect which is about the same or even better than that of capsazepine on a weight/weight basis. Most preferred compounds according to the invention are those which exhibit in this model a bronchorelaxing effect which is superior to that of capsazepine on a weight/weight basis


The compounds of the present invention and their pharmaceutically acceptable acid addition salts can be used in the treatment of diseases in which the constriction of the bronchi is of importance, such as asthma. The present compounds may block bronchoconstriction agonist-induced contractions of bronchial tissues.


The compounds of the invention can therefore be used as medicines against above-mentioned diseases or in their prevention. Said use as a medicine or method of treatment comprises the systemic administration to patients of an amount effective to combat bronchoconstriction.


The compounds of the invention can be formulated into various pharmaceutical forms for administration purposes. Said pharmaceutical forms or compositions are deemed novel and consequently constitute another aspect of the present invention. Also the preparation of said compositions constitutes a further aspect of the present invention. To prepare the pharmaceutical compositions of this invention, an effective amount of the particular compound, including in acid addition salt form, as the active ingredient is combined in intimate admixture with a pharmaceutically acceptable carrier, which carrier may take a wide variety of forms depending on the form of preparation desired for administration. These pharmaceutical compositions are desirably in unitary dosage form suitable, preferably, for administration orally, rectally, percutaneously, or by parenteral injection. Particularly preferred is administration by inhalation.


For example, in preparing the compositions in oral dosage form, any of the usual pharmaceutical media may be employed such as, for example, water, glycols, oils, alcohols and the like in the case of oral liquid preparations such as suspensions, syrups, elixirs and solutions: or solid carriers such as starches, sugars, kaolin, lubricants, binders, disintegrating agents and the like in the case of powders, pills, capsules and tablets. Because of their ease in administration, tablets and capsules represent the most advantageous oral dosage unit form, in which case solid pharmaceutical carriers are obviously employed. For parenteral compositions, the carrier will usually comprise sterile water, at least in large part, though other ingredients, for example to aid solubility, may be included. Injectable solutions, for example, may be prepared in which the carrier comprises saline solution, glucose solution or a mixture of saline and glucose solution. Injectable suspensions may also be prepared in which case appropriate liquid carriers, suspending agents and the like may be employed. In the compositions suitable for percutaneous administration, the carrier option-ally comprises a penetration enhancing agent and/or a suitable wetting agent, optionally combined with suitable additives of any nature in minor proportions, which additives do not introduce a significant deleterious effect on the skin. Said additives may facilitate the administration to the skin and/or may be helpful for preparing the desired compositions. These compositions may be administered in various ways, e.g., as a transdermal patch, as a spot-on or as an ointment. Acid addition salts of the compound of general formula (I) due to their increased water solubility over the corresponding base form, are obviously more suitable in the preparation of aqueous compositions. It is especially advantageous to formulate the aforementioned pharmaceutical compositions in dosage unit form for ease of administration and uniformity of dosage. Dosage unit form as used in the specification and claims herein refers to physically discrete units suitable as unitary dosages, each unit containing a predetermined quantity of active ingredient calculated to produce the desired therapeutic effect in association with the required pharmaceutical carrier. Examples of such dosage unit forms are tablets (including scored or coated tablets), capsules, pills, powder packets, wafers, injectable solutions or suspensions, teaspoonfuls, tablespoonfuls and the like, and segregated multiples thereof. Administration by inhalation will allow a high proportion of the delivered dose to reach the site of action, that is, the bronchi and the lung in general. Inhalation may be by the oral or the nasal route. Conventional pulmonary applicators may be employed, such as pressurized spray containers containers suitable propellants for aerosols and powder spray devices for preparations in form of fine powders. Pharmaceutical compositions suitable for administration by the inhalation route are known in the art. The compound is dissolved in a suitable vehicle or employed as a fine powder, such as a micronized powder of a particle size from about 2 μm to about 20 μm. An indicated daily dose for administration by inhalation will be 10 times and more lower than the oral dose. Satisfactory doses, preferably metered by using a device capable of metering, or by single doses of predetermined size, can easily be determined by experimentation.


In view of the usefulness of the compounds of the invention in the treatment of diseases in which bronchoconstriction is prominent, it is evident that the present invention provides a method of treating warm-blooded animals suffering from such diseases, said method comprising the systemic administration of a pharmaceutically effective amount of a compound of formula (I) or a pharmaceutically acceptable acid addition salt thereof in admixture with a pharmaceutical carrier. Those of skill in the treatment of diseases in which bronchoconstriction is an important factor could easily determine the effective amount. In general it is contemplated that an effective amount would be from 0.01 mg/kg to 4 mg/kg body weight, preferably from 0.04 mg/kg to 2 mg/kg body weight.


The exact dosage and frequency of administration depends on the particular compound of formula (I) used, the particular condition being treated, the severity of the condition being treated, the age, weight and general physical condition of the particular patient as well as other medication the individual may be taking, as is well known to those skilled in the art. Furthermore, it is evident that said effective daily amount may be lowered or increased depending on the response of the treated subject and/or depending on the evaluation of the physician prescribing the compounds of the instant invention. The effective daily amount ranges mentioned hereinabove are therefore guidelines only and are not intended to limit the scope or use of the invention.


Unless otherwise stated all parts in this specification are by weight.

Heating under reflux was then continued at 190° C. for 3 hours. The reaction mixture was cooled to 25° C., diluted with water and poured into a solution 2.5N HCl to give white crystals of 4-(4-chlorophenyl)butanoic acid (89%).


Solution A. 4-(4.chlorophenyl)butanoic acid (1.6 eq.) was dissolved in SOCl2 and refluxed under nitrogen for 4 hours. Then the remaining SOCl2 was evaporated and the residue dissolved in DMF (dry).


Solution B. 7,8-dihydroxy-2,3,4,5-tetrahydro-1H-2-benzazepinium bromide (1 eq.) was dissolved in DMF (dry), pyridine (1 eq) was added, and the solution stirred for 30 minutes at room temperature.


Solution A was then poured into solution B and pyridine (9 eq.) were added. The reaction mixture was stirred under nitrogen at room temperature for 24 hours. Then the mixture was concentrated and the residue chromatographed silicagel (gradient elution, 0-5% MeOH in CH2Cl2).

EXAMPLE 14
Bronchorelaxation Test

Apparatus and materials


Dissection and mounting of lung tissue preparations. Lung tissue was obtained from patients undergoing lobectomia or pulmectomia due to lung carcinoma. The tissue was placed in a dissection chamber continuously perfused with 10 ml min−1 of a physiological saline solution (PSS) at room temperature. An airway was identified in the cut part of the lobe, and a bronchus of 10-20 mm length and 1-2 mm diameter was obtained. The bronchus was cut into rings of a width of about 2-3 mm. Each bronchial ring was cleaved to obtain an about rectangular oblong preparation, one end of which was tied to a small steel hook connected to a force transducer, while the other end of the preparation was attached to a fixed hook. This is followed by a period of adjustment, as described below. The preparation was mounted in an atmosphere containing 12% of oxygen and 6% of CO2.


Experimental chamber. The experimental chamber has a volume of 5 ml. It is perfused with PSS at a rate of 3 ml min−1. Two preparations are mounted in the chamber, and measurements on them are performed in parallel. For mechanical tensioning each force transducer (AME 801, SensoNor A/S, Horten, Norway) is connected to a micrometer screw. The substances to be tested, the reference substance (capsazepine), and transmitter (LTD4) are injected upstream of the preparation(s).


Materials. PPS (physiological saline solution, in mM): NaCl, 117; KCl, 4.87; MgSO4, 0.60; NaHCO3, 25.0; CaCl2, 1.60; glucose, 5.23. The solution is saturated with a mixture of 94% oxygen and 6% carbon dioxide, giving a pH of 7.40±0.05 in the experimental chamber. All substances are prepared as stock solution dissolved in the vehicles ethanol or DMSO. Leukotriene D4 (LTD4; Cayman Ltd.): 10 μl of a 100 μM ethanol stock solution. Capsazepine (Sigma Aldrich): 10 μl of a 0.1 M ethanol stock solution. Substance to be tested: 10-100 μl of a 0.01-0.1 M ethanol or DMSO stock solution. Solution for establishing the passive tension level: calcium-free PSS+2 mM EGTA+20 mM caffeine. To exclude effects by the test substance vehicle, ethanol or DMSO, respectively, were added during the entire experiment except during the presence of test substance.


Test Procedure


An exemplary test is shown in FIG. 7 in which capital letters indicate interference with the test system. The material for the preparation was a bronchus (inner diameter about 1 mm) from a male occasional smoker (41 yrs) but with the epithelium intact.


Adjustment and stretch. After mounting as described above the preparation is allowed to adjust with a low passive tone in the experimental chamber. The composition of the gas is changed to 94% (v/v) of oxygen. After a short adjustment period, PSS with 10 nM LTD4 is added to the experimental chamber upstream of the preparation (A). The preparation is stretched repeatedly (B) until it exerts a contraction force of around 150 mg. When the contraction has levelled off, leukotriene-free solution is administered for 1 hour (C), resulting in a relaxation. A second injection of 10 nM LTD4 (D) makes the preparation return to the tensioned state. At the peak tension leukotriene-free solution is again administered (E). After a third injection of 10 nM LTD4 (F) the preparation returns to the tensioned state. At the peak, PSS with 10 μM capsazepine (G) is added, resulting in a relaxation. After 1 h exposure to capsazepine, LTD4 is added, resulting in a contraction (H). In comparison with the control LTD4 contraction (F), a substantially weaker contraction is now observed (H). To obtain a measure of the test substance's bronchorelaxing effect the test and control forces registered in the experiment are compared. In the present experiment a remaining contraction (test force) of about 55% of that caused by the control force was registered. After allowing one hour for return to baseline conditions (1) 10 nM LTD4 is again injected (J) to determine the reversibility of the VR1 receptor inhibition. During steps C-F and l-J 10 μl ethanol per 100 ml PSS is present to compensate for potential vehicle effects. The experiment is concluded by adding calcium-free solution with addition of 2 mM EGTA and 20 mM caffeine for 20 min to establish the passive tension level (K). A bronchus tissue preparation is considered stable and thus fit for the evaluation of test substances if the difference in contraction between contractions D and F is less than 15 per cent.


The bronchorelaxing compounds according to the invention and some prior art compounds were tested for bronchorelaxation by substituting capsazepine in the test system. The results are given in FIGS. 1-6. A measure of the bronchorelaxing capacity of a candidate substance is obtained by comparing the result (% blocking of contraction by LTD4) with that obtained with capsazepine. If the remaining contraction after exposure to a test substance is larger than after exposure to capsazepine, the test substance is less effective than capsazepine in regard of bronchorelaxing properties. If, on the other hand, the remaining contraction after exposure to a test substance is smaller than after exposure to capsazepine, the test substance is more effective than capsazepine in regard of bronchorelaxing properties.
