Caffeic acid derivatives and pharmaceutical compositions containing the same

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION
1) Field of the Invention
The present invention relates to novel caffeic acid derivatives, and more specifically to novel caffeic acid derivatives having 12-lipoxygenase inhibitory action and useful for the prevention and treatment of diseases of the circulatory system, such as arteriosclerosis, and medicines containing the derivatives as effective ingredients.
2) Description of the Related Art
Leukotriene which is considered to be a cause for allergic diseases, especially for asthma is known to be formed in the course of the conversion of arachidonic acid to 5-hydroperoxyeicosatetraenoic acid (5-HPETE) and 5-hydroxyeicosatetraenoic acid (5-HETE) under the action of 5-lipoxygenase.
Based on the findings, compounds having 5-lipoxygenase inhibition activity have been investigated with a view toward developing therapeutic agents for diseases of the circulatory system, resulting in many reports.
On the other hand, it is also known that 12-hydroperoxyeicosatetraenoic acid (12-HPETE) and 12-hydroxyeicosatetraenoic acid (12-HETE) are formed from arachidonic acid by another enzyme, 12-lipoxygenase. Regarding effects of these products on organisms, there are the report by Tada et al. that 12-HETE takes part in the development of ischemic heart disease [Cardiovascular Research, 21(8), 551-558 (1987)] and the report by Murota et al. that 12-HETE exhibits deteriorating action for endothelial cell diseases and wandering stimulating action for vascular tunica media smooth muscle cells and takes part in the increase and deterioration of vascular diseases such as arteriosclerosis and nephritis [Chiryogaku (Therapy), 13(6), 785-788 (1984)]. From the above findings, compounds having 12-lipoxygenase inhibitory action are expected to have utility as therapeutic agents for diseases of the circulatory system.
Compounds conventionally known to have 12-lipoxygenase inhibitory action include baicalein isolated from Scutellaria baicalensis and represented by the following formula: ##STR2##
Although baicalein has 12-lipoxygenase inhibitory action, it is difficult to obtain it in large quantity as it is a natural product. Baicalein is therefore not suited for use as a medicine, leading to a desire for the development of a new inhibitor which can be produced by chemical synthesis.
With the foregoing in view, Cho, Murota and others--inventors of the present invention--have synthesized a variety of compounds and investigated their pharmacological effects. As a result, it was found that some of the compounds have 12-lipoxygenase inhibitory action. Some patent applications have already been filed on such compounds (Japanese Patent Application Laid-Open No. 275552/1989, Japanese Patent Application No. 55867/1989, etc.).
SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION
The present inventors have subjected to further screening the compounds having 12-lipoxygenase inhibitory action. As a result, it has been found that caffeic acid derivatives represented by the below-described formula (I) have inhibitory action at least comparable with baicalein, feature long acting property and low toxicity and permit large quantity synthesis, leading to the completion of the present invention.
Namely, the present invention provides a caffeic acid derivative represented by the following formula I: ##STR3## wherein R.sup.1 and R.sup.2 are independent from each other and either one of R.sup.1 and R.sup.2 is a hydrogen atom, a C.sub.1 -C.sub.6 alkyl group, a group --CO.sub.2 R.sub.4, R.sup.4 representing a C.sub.1 -C.sub.12 alkyl group, a C.sub.6 -C.sub.10 aryl group, a hydrogen atom or a C.sub.7 -C.sub.12 aralkyl group, or a group --CONR.sup.5 R.sup.6, R.sup.5 representing a C.sub.1 -C.sub.6 alkyl group and R.sup.6 a hydrogen atom or a C.sub.1 -C.sub.6 alkyl group and the other is the group --CO.sub.2 R.sup.4 or the group --CONR.sup.5 R.sup.6, or R.sup.1 and R.sup.2 are coupled together to represent a 5-membered ring so formed, Y represents a vinylene group, an oxygen atom or a sulfur atom, X represents a substituted or unsubstituted C.sub.6 -C.sub.10 aryl group, a substituted or unsubstituted C.sub.7 -C.sub.12 aralkyl group, a substituted or unsubstituted heterocyclic group or a substituted or unsubstituted heterocyclic ring-alkyl group, m means an integer of 0-8, n denotes an integer of 0 or 1, and R.sub.3 represents a hydrogen atoms, a hydroxyl group, a group --OCO.sub.2 R.sup.7, R.sup.7 representing a C.sub.1 -C.sub.12 alkyl group, a C.sub.6 -C.sub.10 aryl group, a hydrogen atom or a C.sub.7 -C.sub.12 aralkyl group, or a group --OCONR.sup.8 R.sup.9, R.sup.8 representing a C.sub.1 -C.sub.6 alkyl group and R.sup.9 representing a hydrogen atom or a C.sub.1 -C.sub.6 alkyl group, or a pharmaceutically acceptable salt thereof; and also a therapeutic composition comprising the derivative as an effective ingredient.

The caffeic acid derivative (I) of the present invention can be synthesized, for example, by the following processes:
Process A
In accordance with the below-described reaction scheme, an alcohol (II) and a cyanoacetic acid (III) are condensed into a cyanoacetate ester (IV), to which a benzaldehyde derivative (V) is reacted to obtain a compound (VI). Further reaction of this compound with a carbonyl compound (VII) or methylene iodide (VIII) can synthesize a caffeic acid derivative (Ia). ##STR4## wherein R.sup.1a and R.sup.2 are independent from each other and either one of R.sup.1a and R.sup.2a is a C.sub.1 -C.sub.6 alkyl group or a hydrogen atom and the other represents a hydrogen atom, R.sup.3a represents a hydrogen atom or a hydroxyl group, Z represents an easily removable group such as a halogen atom or a mesyl or tosyl group, R' denotes --OR.sup.4, R.sup.4 having the same meaning as defined above, --NR.sup.5 R.sup.6, R.sup.5 and R.sup.6 having the same meanings as defined above, or Z, and R.sup.1, R.sup.2, R.sup.3, X, Y, m and n have the same meanings as defined above.
The alcohol (II) as the starting material is a compound which is either available on the market or obtainable in a manner known per se in the art. Its examples include phenol, naphthol, benzyl alcohol, phenethyl alcohol, phenylpropanol, 1-phenylpropanol, 2-phenylpropanol, 3-phenyl-2-propanol, phenylbutanol, 1-phenylbutanol, 4-phenyl-2-butenol, 4-phenyl-1,3-butadienol, naphthylmethanol, phenoxymethanol, phenoxyethanol, phenoxypropanol, benzyloxymethanol, benzyloxyethanol, thiophenol, thienylmethanol, thienylethanol, thienylpropanol, thiazolol, thiazolylethanol, isothiazolol, isothiazolylethanol, furanol, furylmethanol, furylethanol, furylpropanol, oxazolol, oxazolyletanol, isooxazolol, isooxazolylethanol, pyranol, pyranylethanol, pyrrolol, pyrrolylethanol, imidazolol, imidazolylethanol, pyridinol, pyridylmethanol, pyridylethanol, pyridylpropanol, pyrazinol, pyrazinylethanol, pyrimidinol, pyrimidinylethanol, pyridazinol, pyridazinylethanol, indolol, and indolylethanol.
The condensation reaction between the alcohol (II) and the cyanoacetic acid (III) can be carried out by, if one or more functional groups are contained in the alcohol (II), protecting the alcohol (II) as needed and then using a condensing agent such as 1-ethyl-3-(3-dimethylaminopropyl)-carbodiimide or dicyclohexylcarbodiimide in a solvent inert to the reaction, for example, dimethylformamide in the presence of a base such as pyridine or piperidine. This reaction can be completed by using the cyanoacetic acid (III) in an amount approximately equivalent to the alcohol (II) and reacting them overnight or so at room temperature.
The reaction between the cyanoacetate ester (IV), which has been obtained by the above reaction, and the benzaldehyde derivative (V) is conducted, for example, by using a Dean-Stark apparatus or the like and subjecting the reactants to the conventional Knoevenagel condensation reaction, that is, heating the reactants under reflux for about 2 hours in a solvent inert to the reaction, for example, in an organic solvent such as benzene or toluene while using as a catalyst a base, for example, pyridine or piperidine, whereby the compound (VI) is obtained.
Examples of the benzaldehyde derivative (V) useful here include 3,4-dihydroxybenzaldehyde, 3,4,5-trihydroxybenzaldehyde, 3-hydroxy-4-methoxybenzaldehyde, 4-hydroxy-3-methoxybenzaldehyde, 4,5-dihydroxy-3-methoxybenzaldehyde.
When one or more functional groups in the group of the compound (VI) are protected, it is preferred to remove the protecting groups by a suitable method.
The reaction between the compound (VI) and the carbonyl compound (VII) is conducted by reacting the compound (VI) together with a suitable base, for example, a metal hydride reagent such as sodium hydride or potassium hydride, an inorganic base such as potassium carbonate or an organic base such as triethylamine at 0.degree. C. to room temperature in the presence of an organic solvent inert to the reaction, for example, tetrahydrofuran (THF), dimethylsulfoxide (DMSO), sulfolane or dimethylformamide (DMF), followed by the further reaction with the carbonyl compound (VII) or methylene iodide (VIII) to obtain the desired compound (I).
When one or more functional groups are protected in the compound (I), the protecting groups can be removed by a suitable method.
The carbonyl compound (VII) usable here can be a haloformate derivative [in the formula (VII), R': --OR.sup.4 ], a carbamoyl halide derivative [in the formula (VII), R': --NR.sup.5 R.sup.6 ], or phosgene [in the formula (VII), R=Z=Cl] or the like.
Of these, exemplary haloformate derivatives include alkyl chloroformates such as methyl chloroformate, ethyl chloroformate and nonyl chloroformate, aryl chloroformates such as phenyl chloroformate, and aralkyl chloroformates such as benzyl chloroformate and phenethyl chloroformate.
On the other hand, exemplary carbamoylhalide derivatives include alkylcarbamoyl chlorides such as dimethylcarbamoyl chloride, ethylmethylcarbamoyl chloride and diethylcarbamoyl chloride.
Where R.sup.6 is a hydrogen atom in the group --NR.sup.5 R.sup.6 of the desired compound (I), an isocyanate represented by the following formula:
R.sup.5 --N.dbd.C.dbd.O
wherein R.sup.5 has the same meaning as defined above can be used. Examples of such isocyanates include alkyl isocyanates such as methyl isocyanate, ethyl isocyanate and propyl isocyanate.
By adjusting the amount of the carbonyl derivative (VII) other than phosgene to 1-5 equivalents upon reaction, it is possible to selectively form the compound (I) of the present invention in which any one or two or all of --R.sup.3, --OR.sup.1 and --OR.sup.2 have been substituted by the carbonyl compound.
On the other hand, reaction of phosgene [in formula (VII), R=Z=Cl] or its related compounds with the compound (VI) results in the synthesis of a compound (Ia') represented by the below-described formula whereas reaction of methylene iodide (VIII) or the like with the compound (VI) similarly leads to the synthesis of a compound (Ia") represented by the below-described formula. ##STR5##
Process B
A caffeic acid derivative (Ib) can be synthesized by reacting phosgene (or its related compounds) with the compound (VI'), which has been obtained by the process A, and then reacting an amine compound represented by the formula (X): ##STR6## wherein R.sup.1b and R.sup.2b are independent from each other and either one of R.sup.1b and R.sup.2b is a hydrogen atom and a group --CONR.sup.5 R.sup.6 and the other represents a group--CONR.sup.5 R.sup.6, and R.sup.3a, R.sup.5, R.sup.6, X, Y, m and n have meanings as defined above.
More substituents can be introduced into the caffeic acid derivative (1b) by reacting the compound (VII) or (VIII) to the caffeic acid derivative (1b) in a similar manner to Process A.
The above reaction is carried out by reacting the compound (VI') together with a suitable base, for example, a metal hydride reagent such as sodium hydride or potassium hydride, an inorganic base such as potassium carbonate or an organic base such as triethylamine at 0.degree. C. to room temperature in the presence of an organic solvent inert to the reaction, for example, tetrahydrofuran (THF), dimethylsulfoxide (DMSO), sulfolane or dimethylformamide (DMF), followed by the reaction with phosgene (or its related compounds) and further by the reaction with the amine compound (X).
Examples of the amine compound (X) used in the above reaction include alkylamines such as methylamine, ethylamine, propylamine, dimethylamine, diethylamine and ethylmethylamine.
Purification of each compound (I) of the present invention obtained as described above can be effected by cooling the reaction mixture and then collecting precipitated crystals by filtration or by subjecting the resultant compound to purification such as recrystallization or chromatography on a silica gel column.
If desired, each caffeic acid derivative (I) according to the present invention can be converted to a pharmaceutically acceptable salt, for example, to a base addition salt usable as a medicine such as the sodium, potassium or calcium salt.
Pharmacological effects of certain compounds (I) of the present invention, which had been obtained in a manner as described above, were tested. The results will be described next.
PHARMACEUTICAL EFFECTS
(1) 12-Lipoxygenase Inhibition Activity (In Vitro)
The 12-lipoxygenase inhibition activity of each test compound according to the present invention was measured in the following manner.
Firstly, blood was collected from the heart of a rat (while using sodium citrate as an anticoagulant), and platelet rich plasma was prepared by a method known per se in the art. The platelet rich plasma was washed twice with a isotonic buffer (A) [134 mM of NaCl, 5 mM of D-glucose, 1 mM of EDTA, 1 mM of EGTA, 15 mM of tris-HCl (pH 7.4)] and was then frozen and stored at -80.degree. C. Prior to a pharmacological test, the frozen platelet rich plasma was allowed to melt and then subjected to ultrasonic treatment in ice water so that an enzyme solution was obtained. To the isotonic buffer (A), 1 mM of GSH, the test compound (adjusted to have the final concentrations of 1 .mu.M and 0.1 .mu.M) and the enzyme solution (300-500 .mu.g of protein) were added. Subsequent to pre-incubation at 37.degree. C. for 5 minutes, [.sup.14 C]-arachidonic acid (0.05 .mu.Ci) (final concentration: 4.3M) was added to react it for 5 minutes. After the reaction was terminated, the reaction mixture was spread over a thin layer plate of silica gel to conduct autoradiography. 12-HETE was identified and a reduction in its production was determined as an index for its 12-lipoxygenase inhibition activity.
The inhibition rates (%) of 12-HETE production suppressed by the compounds of the present invention are summarized in the following table:
______________________________________ Inhibition rate (%)Compound No. 10.sup.-7 M 10.sup.-6 M______________________________________ 1 52.9 85.4 6 60.3 7 40.8 75.6 8 9.4 65.1 9 4.2 71.810 38.7 79.311 23.5 53.812 16.3 68.413 -- 40.814 34.6 64.617 59.3 75.918 65.819 4.6 50.820 41.2 63.421 -- 41.622 14.0 27.623 64.5 84.529 25.1 59.234 91.535 56.6 82.936 75.6______________________________________ (--: No activity)
(2) 12-Lipoxygenase Inhibition Activity in Platelets (Extro Vivo)
Under anesthesia with pentobarbital, an SD rat (8 week-old, male) was intravenously administered with a polyethylene glycol solution containing 1.0 mg/kg of a test compound. Ten minutes after the administration, blood was collected from the abdominal vena cava, and the inhibitory activity was measured as in the above test (1).
Setting at 100% the amount of 12-HETE of the group in which a base preparation was administered instead of the drugs, the results, namely, the amount of 12-HETE obtained when each test drug was administered was indicated in terms of %. As a result, Compound 1 showed 30% inhibitory effect while Compound 17 exhibited 18% inhibitory effect.
As has been demonstrated above, the caffeic acid derivatives (I) according to the present invention have excellent 12-lipoxygenase inhibitory activity so that they can be used as medicines, for example, therapeutic agents for diseases of the circulatory system.
To use each caffeic acid derivative (I) of the present invention as a medicine such as a therapeutic agent for diseases of the circulatory system, the compound or its pharmaceutically acceptable salt is formulated either alone or in combination with a known, non-toxic excipient or the like into a suitable preparation form permitting its oral or parenteral administration such as capsules, tablets or an injectable preparation.
These preparations can be formulated, for example, in the following manner. The compound (I) of this invention is triturated alone, mixed with an excipient, e.g., lactose, starch or its derivative, a cellulose derivative or the like, and then filled in gelatin capsules to form capsules.
To formulate tablets, a binder--such as carboxymethylcellulose sodium, alginic acid or gum arabic --and water are added beside the excipient and the resulting mixture is kneaded and, if necessary, is formed into granules. A lubricant such as talc or stearic acid is added further and is then formed into tablets by a conventional compressed tablet machine. To formulate a parenterally-dosable, i.e., injectable preparation, the compound (I) of the present invention is dissolved together with a solubilizer in sterilized distilled water or sterilized physiological saline and is then filled in ampoules to provide an injectable preparation. Here, a stabilizer and/or a buffer substance may be added as needed.
The effective amount of each therapeutic agent of the present invention for a disease of the circulatory system varies depending on the kind of the disease, the severity of the condition, the administration method, and physical factors of the patient. In general, the therapeutic agent can be administered in an amount sufficient to lessen the symptom of the disease. As an example, it is preferred to administer the compound (I) of the present invention to an adult at a daily dosage of 1-1,000 mg or so.
The caffeic acid derivatives (I) according to the present invention have not only 5-lipoxygenase inhibitory action but also 12-lipoxygenase inhibitory action, so that they are useful as therapeutic agents for diseases of the circulatory system, for example, for the prevention of arterioscherosis.
The present invention will hereinafter be described in further detail. It should however be borne in mind that the present invention is not limited at all by the following examples.

By adding 3-7 equivalents of triethylamine to a THF solution of the starting material, 2-(2-thienyl)ethyl 2-cyano-3-(3,4-dihydroxyphenyl)-2-propenoate and adding 3 equivalents or 7 or more equivalents of N,N-dimethylcarbamoyl chloride instead of ethyl isocyanate, 2-(2-thienyl)-ethyl 2-cyano-3-(3-N,N-dimethylcarbamoyloxy-4-hydroxyphenyl)-2-propenoate (Compound 31) and 2-(2-thienyl)-ethyl 2-cyano-3-(3,4-di-N,N-dimethylcarbamoyloxyphenyl)-2-propenoate (Compound 32) were obtained, respectively.
By reacting Compound 31 with ethyl chloroformate in the presence of sodium hydride or triethylamine at 0.degree. C. to room temperature in THF as a solvent in accordance with the process of Example 1, 2-(2-thienyl)ethyl 2-cyano-3-(3-N,N-dimethylcarbamoyloxy-4-ethoxycarbonyloxy)-2-propenoate (Compound 33) was obtained.
EXAMPLE 5
Synthesis of 2-(2-thienyl)-ethyl 2-cyano-3-(3,4-cyclic dioxolonylphenyl)-2-propenoate (Compound 34)
250 m (6.3 mmol) of 60% sodium hydride were washed with hexane, followed by the addition of 5 ml of dry THF. A solution of 680 mg (2.2 mmol) of 2-(2-thienyl)ethyl 2-cyano-3-(3,4-dihydroxyphenyl)-2-propenoate in 20 ml of dry THF was added at 0.degree. C., to which 400 .mu.l (3.3 mmol) of trichloromethyl chloroformate (phosgene dimer) were added. The resulting mixture was heated under reflux. Eighteen hours later, most of the solvent was distilled out under reduced pressure, and the residue was added with water and then extracted in chloroform. The organic layer was dried over anhydrous magnesium sulfate, dried, and then distilled out under reduced pressure. Hexane was added to crystallize the reaction product, followed by the recrystallization from chloroform-hexane to obtain 160 mg of the title compound (22%).
Separate use of phenethyl 2-cyano-3-(3,4-dihydroxyphenyl)-2-propenoate and phenyl 2-cyano-3-(3,4-dihydroxyphenyl)-2-propenoate instead of 2-(2-thienyl)-ethyl 2-cyano-3-(3,4-dihydroxyphenyl)-2-propenoate in a similar manner to the above-described process provided phenethyl 2-cyano-3-(3,4-cyclic dioxolonylphenyl)-2-propenoate (Compound 35) and phenyl 2-cyano-3-(3,4-cyclic dioxolonylphenyl)-2-propenoate (Compound 36), respectively.
