Carboxylic acid derivatives having fused rings

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION
1. Field of the Invention
The present invention relates to a carboxylic acid derivative having a fused ring and a pharmacologically acceptable salt thereof. More specifically, it relates to a novel carboxylic acid derivative having a fused ring which exhibit agonism for retinoic acid receptors and a pharmacologically acceptable salt thereof.
2. Prior Art
Retinoic acid is a substance essential to the growth and life support of human being and other mammals. It has been known that retinoic acid acts as a morphogenetic factor in ontogenesis and functions variously in the differentiation and proliferation of cells of adults. For example, it has been known that the acid participates in cornification, formation of hair, functions of sebaceous gland and so on with respect to the epidermis, in metabolism of bone and cartilage with respect to the connective tissue, in regulation of immune functions with respect to the immune system, in differentiation of nerve cells with respect to the nervous system, in differentiation and proliferation of blood cells with respect to the hemic system, and in the lipid metabolism, the mineral metabolism and the basal metabolism and so on. These various physiological actions of retinoic acid are exhibited by various control mechanisms through retinoid receptor family present in the cell nucleus, for example, by regulating the expression of transcription activators, by regulating the expression of enzymes such as collagenase, tissue plasminogen activator or tyrosine kinase, or by regulating the production of cytokines such as IL-6.
The connections of the above physiological actions of retinoic acid with various diseases have recently been elucidated gradually, and in particular, differentiation-inducing therapy with all-trans retinoic acid has attracted attention as a new therapeutic method for some cancers such as acute promyelocytic leukemia.
With respect to retinoic acid, however, there have appeared problematic tolerance due to the induction of P450 which is a hepatic metabolic enzyme, adverse effects due to accumulation, and other problems. Under these circumstances there have been expected research and development of novel retinoid-related compounds which can be substituted for retionic acid as preventive and therapeutic drugs for various diseases.

Preparation Process 1
Compounds represented by the formula (A) wherein A is a pyrrole ring can be prepared by the following process. ##STR21## (Step 1)
In this step, an allyl alcohol (2) is prepared by reacting an aldehyde (1) with an organometallic reagent in a conventional manner.
The organometallic reagent includes Grignard reagents, organolithium reagents, organozinc reagents, organocopper complexes and so on. Although any solvent inert to the reaction may be used in this step, the use of an etheric solvent such as ether or tetrahydrofuran is preferable. The reaction temperature may range from -78.degree. C. to the boiling point of the solvent, preferably from about -78.degree. C. to 20.degree. C.
(Step 2)
In this step, the allyl alcohol (2) prepared in the step (1) is oxidized into a vinyl ketone (3) in a conventional manner.
Although the oxidation may be conducted by any conventional process, the use of a suitable oxidizing agent is preferable. Examples of the oxidizing agent include activated manganese dioxide, pyridinium chlorochromate, pyridinium dichromate, Dess-Martin reagent and Swern oxidation reagent. Although any organic solvent inert to the reaction may be used for the oxidation, the use of dichloromethane, chloroform or acetone is preferable. The reaction temperature may range from about -78.degree. C. to the boiling point of the solvent, preferably from about -78.degree. C. to 20.degree. C.
(Step 3)
In this step, an diketone represented by the formula (5) is prepared from the vinyl ketone (3) prepared in the step (2) and an aldehyde (4) according to the process of Stetter et al. described in Org. Synth. 65, 26.
In this step, better results can be attained by using a thiazolium salt catalyst. In such a case, it is preferable to use triethylamine, sodium acetate or the like as the base. Further, the solvent to be used in the above reaction may be methanol, ethanol, N,N-dimethylformamide or the like. The reaction temperature is preferably about 60.degree. C. to the boiling point of the solvent.
(Step 4)
In this step, an diketone (5) prepared in the step 3 is converted into a pyrrole represented by the formula (6) through a conventional treatment.
The objective compound (6) can be prepared by, for example, reacting the diketone (5) with an ammonium salt such as ammonium acetate or a primary amine. In this case, an alcoholic solvent such as methanol or ethanol or acetic acid may be used as the solvent. The reaction temperature is preferably about 70.degree. C. to the boiling point of the solvent.
(Step 5)
In this step, the pyrrole (6) prepared in the step 4 is conventionally hydrolyzed into a final objective compound represented by the formula (7). In this step, better results can be attained by using a base, particularly an aqueous solution of lithium hydroxide, sodium hydroxide, potassium hydroxide or the like. Preferable examples of the solvent to be used in this hydrolysis include alcohols such as methanol and ethanol and ethers such as tetrahydrofuran. The reaction temperature is preferably about 20.degree. C. to the boiling point of the solvent.
Next, another process is described with respect to the preparation of the diketone (5) used in the above Preparation process 1.
Preparation Process 1 ##STR22##
The diketone (5) can be prepared also by reacting the vinyl ketone (8) prepared in a similar manner to that of Preparation process 1 with the aldehyde (1) in the presence of a thiazolium salt catalyst according to the process of Stetter et al. In this process, better results can be attained by using as the case triethylamine, sodium acetate of the like. The solvent to be used in this process includes alcohols such as methanol and ethanol, N,N-dimethylformamide and so on. The reaction temperature is preferably about 60.degree. C. to the boiling point of the solvent.
Pharmacological Experimental Examples will now be described to illustrate the effects of the present invention.
Pharmacological Experimental Example 1
Receptor Binding Assay Using Nuclear Extract Fraction Of Cells Bearing RAR Genes Transferred Thereinto
Human RAR .alpha., .beta. and .gamma. genes were transferred into BHK (Baby Hamster Kidney) cells to prepare cells constantly expressing RAR .alpha., .beta. and .gamma. proteins. An experimental system for measuring the specific binding of all-trans retinoic acid for RARs was constructed by the use of a nuclear extract fraction of the cells, and the abilities of each compound to bind RARs were determined by measuring the inhibition against the specific binding. Further, the selectivity of each compound among RARs was determined by comparing the abilities of the compound to bind RARs with each other.
(1) Experimental Method
a) Preparation Of Nuclear Extract Fraction
The above BHK cells (5.times.10.sup.8) into which RAR genes had been transferred were suspended in 15 ml of solution A (sodium phosphate (pH7.4): 5 mM, monothioglycerol: 10 mM, glycerol: 10% (v/v), phenylmethylsulfonyl fluoride (PMSF): 1 mM, aprotinin: 10 .mu.g/ml, and leupeptin: 25 .mu.g/ml). The resulting suspension was homogenized and centrifuged to remove the resulting supernatant. The resulting sediment was suspended in 15 ml of solution B (Tris-HCl (pH8.5): 10 mM, monothioglycerol: 10 mM, glycerol: 10% (v/v), PMSF: 1 mM, aprotinin: 10 .mu.g/ml, leupeptin: 25 .mu.g/ml, and KCl: 0.4M). The resulting suspension was allowed to stand at 4.degree. C. for one hour, and subjected to ultracentrifugation under the conditions of 100,000.times.g, 4.degree. C. and one hour. The resulting supernatant was stored as the nuclear extract fraction in a frozen state at -80.degree. C. until the use (METHODS IN ENZYMOLOGY, 189, 248).
b) Receptor Binding Assay
180 .mu.l of the above fraction and 10 .mu.l of a dilution of all-trans retinoic acid or a test compound were added to each well of a 96-well plate made of polypropylene, followed by the addition of 10 .mu.l of 10 nM .sup.3 H-all-trans retinoic acid. The resulting plate was allowed to stand at 4.degree. C. for 16 hours. A solution containing 3% of charcoal and 0.3% of dextran was added to the resulting reaction mixture. The resulting mixture was centrifuged to remove free .sup.3 H-all-trans retinoic acid. The radioactivity of the resulting supernatant was determined by the use of a scintillation counter. The specific binding for each RAR was determined by assuming the radioactivity found when 500 times as much all-trans retionic acid was added to be the non-specific binding and subtracting it from the radioactivity determined above. The compounds which will be described below inhibited the binding of .sup.3 H-all-trans retinoic acid independently on the concentration.
(2) Experimental Results
The concentration at which the binding of .sup.3 -H-all-trans retinoic acid for each receptor is inhibited by 50%, i.e., IC50 was calculated from the specific binding for the RAR, and the relative activities are given in Table 1, which were calculated by assuming the IC50 value of all-trans retinoic acid to be 1.

Pharmacological Experimental Example 2
Measurement Of The Activities Of Accelerating Trans-cription Through RARs
Human RAR expression vectors and secretory alkaline phosphatase (PLAP) gene vectors (PLAP vectors) containing in a state integrated into the upstream a competent sequence whose expression is inhibited through binding with RAR depending on a ligand were temporarily transferred into COS-1 (African green monkey kidney cells), and the PLAP which had been produced depending on a ligand and secreted into a culture medium was analyzed by the chemiluminescence method to determine the transcription-accelerating activity of each compound. Further, the selectivity of each compound among RARs was determined by comparing the transcription accelerating activities of the compound for the receptors with each other.
(1) Experimental Method
On a 60-mm culture dish were scattered 2.5.times.10.sup.4 COS-1 cells. Four days after, human RAR .alpha., .beta. and .gamma. expression vectors and PLAP vectors were transferred into the cells each in an amount of 4 .mu.g by the lipofection method. Another day after, the resulting cells were recovered, and put on a 96-well culture plate in an amount of 2.times.10.sup.4 per unit well. Four hours after, the cells were put on a medium containing charcoal-treated fetal bovine serum, followed by the addition of a dilution of all-trans retinoic acid or a test compound. After the lapse of 36 hours, the supernatant was recovered and the resulting samples were treated at 65.degree. C. for 10 minutes to eliminate the non-specific activity. 15 .mu.l of each sample was mixed with 60 .mu.l of a 28 mM sodium carbonate buffer(pH10 ), followed by the addition of 75 .mu.l of Smilight (trade name, a product of Sumitomo Metal Industries, Ltd., substrate for chemiluminescence). The resulting mixture was reacted at 37.degree. C. for 30 minutes and the intensity of luminescence was determined. The compounds which will be described below induced the transcription activities of RARs dependently on the concentration.
(2) Experimental Results
With the transcription activity induced by 1 .mu.M all-trans retinoic acid being assumed to be 100%, the concentration at which 30% of the activity is exhibited, i.e., ED30 was calculated for each compound. The relative activities of the compounds for each receptor are given in Table 2, which were calculated by assuming the ED30 value of all-trans retinoic acid to be 1.
