TECHNICAL FIELD OF THE INVENTION

The present invention relates to the field of therapeutic and diagnostic agents and more specifically to compounds that are inhibitors of matrix-metalloproteinases (MMPs) and are useful in the treatment of diseases related thereto such as cardiovascular diseases, inflammatory diseases and malignant diseases. The compounds are also useful in the field of in vivo diagnostic imaging and in particular in (Positron Emission Tomography) PET imaging.


DESCRIPTION OF RELATED ART

The matrix-metalloproteinases (MMPs) are a family of at least 20 zinc-dependent endo-peptidases which mediate degradation, or remodeling of the extracellular matrix (ECM) [Massova et al., FASEB J. 1998, 12, 1075-1095]. Together, the members of the MMP family can degrade e.g. components of the blood vessel wall and play a major role in both physiological and pathological events that involve the degradation of components of the ECM. Since the MMPs can interfere with the cell-matrix interactions that control cell behavior, their activity affects processes as diverse as cellular differentiation, migration, proliferation and apoptosis [Nagase and Woessner, J. Biol. Chem. 1999, 274, 21491-21494]. The negative regulatory controls that finely regulate MMP activity in physiological situations do not always function as they should. Inappropriate expression of MMP activity is thought to constitute part of the pathological mechanism in several disease states. MMPs are therefore targets for therapeutic inhibitors in many inflammatory, malignant and degenerative diseases [Whittaker et al., Chem. Rev. 1999, 99, 2735-2776].


Consequently, it is believed that synthetic inhibitors of MMPs may be useful in the treatment of many inflammatory, malignant and degenerative diseases. Furthermore, it has been suggested that inhibitors of MMPs may be useful in the diagnosis of these diseases. WO 01/60416 discloses compounds, which are proposed to be useful in the diagnosis of cardiovascular pathologies associated with extracellular matrix degradation such as atherosclerosis, heart failure and restenosis. The compounds disclosed therein comprise MMP inhibitors linked, via an optional linker, to a chelator capable of conjugating to a diagnostic metal. Preferred MMP inhibitors, chelators and linkers are described therein. A report by Zheng et al. [Nuc. Med. Biol. 2002, 29, 761-770] documented the synthesis of MMP inhibitors labeled with the positron emission tomography (PET) tracers 11C and 18F. These compounds described therein are useful in the non-invasive imaging of breast cancer.


SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION

Novel compounds having MMP inhibitory activity are disclosed, which have been found to be particularly useful in the prevention, treatment and diagnostic imaging of diseases associated with an unpaired activity of MMP, amongst others MMP-2, MMP-8, MMP-9 and/or MMP-13.


Another aspect of the present invention relates to pharmaceutical compositions useful in prevention, treatment and diagnostic imaging of diseases associated with an unpaired activity of MMP.


The compounds of the present invention are useful for the prevention, the treatment and the in vivo diagnostic imaging of a range of disease states (inflammatory, malignant and degenerative diseases) where specific matrix metalloproteinases are known to be involved. These include:


(a) atherosclerosis, where various MMPs are overexpressed. Elevated levels of MMP-1, 3, 7, 9, 11, 12, 13 and MT1-MMP have been detected in human atherosclerotic plaques [George, Exp. Opin. Invest. Drugs 2000, 9, 993-1007 and references therein]. Expression of MMP-2 [Li et al. Am. J. Pathol. 1996, 148, 121-128] and MMP-8 [Herman et al., Circulation 2001, 104, 1899-1904] in human atheroma has also been reported;


(b) CHF [Peterson et al., Matrix metalloproteinase inhibitor development for the treatment of heart failure, Drug Dev. Res. 2002, 55, 29-44] report that MMP-1, MMP-2, MMP-3, MMP-8, MMP-9, MMP-13 and MMP-14 are upregulated in heart failure;


(c) cancer [Vihinen et al., Int. J. Cancer 2002, 99, 157-186] reviews MMP involvement in cancers, and particularly highlights MMP-2, MMP-3, MMP-7, and MMP-9];


(d) arthritis [Meson et al., Inflamm. Res. 2001, 50, 183-186 “Selective matrix metalloproteinase inhibition in rheumatoid arthritis-targeting gelatinase A activation”], MMP-2 is particularly discussed;


(e) amyotrophic lateral sclerosis [Lim et al., J. Neurochem. 1996, 67, 251-259] where MMP-2 and MMP-9 are involved;


(f) brain metastases, where MMP-2, MMP-9 and MMP-13 have been reported to be implicated [Spinale, Circul. Res. 2002, 90, 520-530];


(g) cerebrovascular diseases, where MMP-2 and MMP-9 have been reported to be involved [Lukes et al., Mol. Neurobiol. 1999, 19, 267-284];


(h) Alzheimer's disease, where MMP-2 and MMP-9 have been identified in diseased tissue [Backstrom et al., J. Neurochem. 1992, 58, 983-992];


(i) neuroinflammatory diseases, where MMP-2, MMP-3 and MMP-9 are involved [Mun-Bryce et al., Brain. Res. 2002, 933, 42-49];


(j) COPD (i.e. chronic obstructive pulmonary disease) where MMP-1, MMP-2, MMP-8 and MMP-9 have been reported to be upregulated [Segura-Valdez et al., Chest. 2000, 117, 684-694];


(k) eye pathology [Kurpakus-Wheater et al., Prog. Histo. Cytochem. 2001, 36, 179-259];


(l) skin diseases [Herouy, Int. J. Mol. Med. 2001, 7, 3-12].


DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION

It has been surprisingly found that compounds of below general formula (I) wherein the group R3 is an alkenyl optionally substituted with a fluorine or an alkyl substituted with a fluorine act as inhibitors of MMP and in particular of MMP-2 and MMP-9. It has been surprisingly found that the presence of the group R3 as defined below in formula (I) provide these compounds with a very good inhibitory activity. Additionally, it has been surprisingly found that the inhibition is remarkable also in the (S)-enantiomer of the compounds of formula (I). This is particularly surprising because the (R)-enantiomer of the prior art analog compounds (e.g. hydroxamate derivatives such as CGS 27023A) are far more active than the corresponding (S)-enantiomers. For example, it is known that the (S)-enantiomer of compound CGS 27023A is far less potent then the corresponding (R)-enantiomer in the inhibition of MMP-2 and MMP-9 (see table 1). As a consequence, the use of the (S)-enantiomers or the racemates of the compounds of formula (I) as MMP inhibitors as well as the use of the (R)-enantiomers as MMP inhibitors is rendered possible by the introduction of the R3 group.


A first aspect of the present invention relates to compounds of formula (I)

The “heteroaryl-alkyl” may be optionally substituted with one or more substituents independently selected from OH, OTs, amino, halo in particular F and C1, C1-C6 alkyl optionally substituted with OH, OTs, amino, halo in particular F and Cl; the “heteroaryl-alkyl” may be optionally substituted with —O(CH2—CH2—O)nCH2—CH2—R5 wherein n is 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, preferably 3, and R5 can be F, 18F, Cl, OH, OTs; or —(CH2—CH2—O)nCH2—CH2—R5 wherein n is 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, preferably 3, and R5 can be F, 18F, Cl, OH, OTs. Preferably the substituent(s) are on the “aryl” moiety.


The term “C5-C6-heterocycloalkyl” relates to saturated or unsaturated mono ring comprising 5 or 6 carbon atoms, which carry heteroatoms such as N, O, S instead of one or more carbon atoms. Examples of such heterocyclic group are tetrahydrofuranyl, tetrahydropyranyl, pyrrolidinyl, pyrrolidino, piperidinyl, piperidino, piperazinyl, piperazino, morpholinyl, morpholino, thiomorpholinyl, thiomorpholino, tetrahydrothiofuranyl, and pyranyl


“Leavings group for nucleophilic substitution” are known to the skilled person in the art. They include e.g., Cl, Br, I etc.


The phrase “labeled with a 18F” used herein means that a compounds of the invention comprises a 18F either as an artificially enriched level of an atom intrinsic to the substructure, or as an additional essential feature that has been chemically attached via a functionality suitable for coupling said 18F.


By the term “biocompatible carrier” is meant a fluid, especially a liquid, in which the imaging agent can be suspended or dissolved, such that the composition is physiologically tolerable, i.e. it can be administered to the mammalian body without toxicity or undue discomfort. The biocompatible carrier is suitably an injectable carrier liquid such as sterile, pyrogen-free water for injection; an aqueous solution such as saline (which may advantageously be balanced so that the final product for injection is either isotonic or not hypotonic); an aqueous solution of one or more tonicity-adjusting substances (e.g. salts of plasma cations with biocompatible counter-ions), sugars (e.g. glucose or sucrose), sugar alcohols (e.g. sorbitol or mannitol), glycols (e.g. glycerol), or other non-ionic polyol materials (e.g. polyethyleneglycols, propylene glycols and the like).


By the term “biocompatible cation” is meant a positively charged counter-ion which forms a salt with an ionized, negatively charged group, where said positively charged counter-ion is also non-toxic and hence suitable for administration to the mammalian body, especially the human body. Examples of suitable biocompatible cations include the alkali metals sodium or potassium; the alkaline earth metals calcium and magnesium; and the ammonium ion. Preferred biocompatible cations are sodium and potassium, most preferably sodium.


By the term “radioprotectant” is meant a compound which inhibits degradation reactions, such as redox processes, by trapping highly-reactive free radicals, such as oxygen-containing free radicals arising from the radiolysis of water. The radioprotectants of the present invention are suitably chosen from: ascorbic acid, para-aminobenzoic acid (i.e. 4-aminobenzoic acid), gentisic acid (i.e. 2,5-dihydroxybenzoic acid) and salts thereof with a biocompatible cation as described above.


By the term “antimicrobial preservative” is meant an agent which inhibits the growth of potentially harmful micro-organisms such as bacteria, yeasts or moulds. The antimicrobial preservative may also exhibit some bactericidal properties, depending on the dose. The main role of the antimicrobial preservative(s) of the present invention is to inhibit the growth of any such micro-organism in the pharmaceutical composition post-reconstitution, i.e. in the radioactive diagnostic product itself. The antimicrobial preservative may, however, also optionally be used to inhibit the growth of potentially harmful microorganisms in one or more components of the kit of the present invention prior to reconstitution. Suitable antimicrobial preservatives include: the parabens, i.e. methyl, ethyl, propyl or butyl paraben or mixtures thereof; benzyl alcohol; phenol; cresol; cetrimide and thiomersal. Preferred antimicrobial preservative(s) are the parabens.


The term “pH-adjusting agent” means a compound or mixture of compounds useful to ensure that the pH of the reconstituted kit is within acceptable limits (approximately pH 4.0 to 10.5) for human or mammalian administration. Suitable such pH-adjusting agents include pharmaceutically acceptable buffers, such as tricine, phosphate or TRIS [i.e. tris(hydroxymethyl)aminomethane], and pharmaceutical acceptable bases such as sodium carbonate, sodium bicarbonate or mixtures thereof. When the ligand conjugate is employed in acid salt form, the pH-adjusting agent may optionally be provided in a separate vial or container, so that the user of the kit can adjust the pH as part of a multi-step procedure.


By the term “filler” is meant a pharmaceutically acceptable bulking agent which may facilitate material handling during production and lyophilisation. Suitable fillers include inorganic salts such as sodium chloride, and water soluble sugars or sugar alcohols such as sucrose, maltose, mannitol or trehalose.

General Procedure for Hydrolysis of Amino Acid Tert-Butylesters


In a dried YOUNG-tube trifluoroacetic acid (20 mL/mmol) is added under argon to the corresponding amino acid tert-butylester dissolved in dry dichloromethane (20 mL/mmol). After flushing with argon the YOUNG-tube is sealed and the mixture is stirred at r.t. for 3-4 h. Then the reaction mixture was evaporated to dryness. The residue is dissolved in chloroform (100 mL/mmol) and washed with an aqueous solution of citric acid and bicarbonate (pH≈4) (25 mL/mmol). The aqueous phase is extracted with chloroform (4×30 mL/mmol) and the combined organic layer is dried with magnesium sulfate. The solvent is evaporated to get the crude product.

General Procedure for Hydrolysis of Amino Acid Methylesters


The aminoacid methylester (1 equivalent) dissolved in a mixture of THF, methanol and water (ratio 3:1:1; 3.3 mL/mmol) is treated with lithium hydroxide (5 equivalents). This solution is stirred at r.t. over night. The reaction mixture is extracted with ethyl acetate (2×20 mL). This extract is discharged. Then the aqueous phase is acidified with 0.5 N hydrochloric acid and extracted again with ethyl acetate (4×20 mL). The combined organic phases are dried with magnesium sulfate and the solvent is evaporated.

Synthesis of the Hydroxamic Acids


General Procedure for Synthesis of the Hydroxamates


The N,N-disubstituted α-amino acid (1 equivalent) is suspended in dichloromethane (15 mL/mmol). Then 1-hydroxy-benzotriazole (HOBT, 1 equivalent) is added and stirred for a short time. After addition of N-methylmorpholin (NMM) (5 equiv.) the acid is dissolved. Subsequently, O-tert-butylhydroxylamine (3 equiv.) was added and the solution is stirred for 5 min 1-(3-Dimethylaminopropyl)-3-ethylcarbodiimide (EDC) hydrochloride (1.3 equiv.) is added and the reaction mixture is stirred overnight. The solution is washed with water (20 mL) and the aqueous phase is extracted with dichloromethane (3×20 mL). The combined organic phases are washed with brine (1×20 mL) and dried with magnesium sulfate. After evaporation of the solvent the crude product is purified by column chromatography (silica gel, Cy/EtOAc, 1:3). The silica gel was inactivated by flushing with the eluent containing 2% triethylamine. The product is obtained as highly viscose liquid, which on drying in high vacuum becomes solid.

General Procedure for the Hydrolysis of Hydroxamates to Hydroxamic Acids


In a dried YOUNG-tube, the corresponding hydroxamate is dissolved in fresh trifluoroacetic acid (50 mL/mmol) under argon. The YOUNG-tube is flashed with argon and closed. The solution is stirred at 40° C. for 12 h. Then the reaction mixture is evaporated to dryness in vacuum. The residue is dissolved in chloroform (100 mL/mmol) and washed with aqueous citric acid (pH 4) (25 mL/mmol) and bicarbonate. The aqueous phase is extracted with chloroform and the combined organic phases are dried with magnesium sulfate. After evaporation of the solvent the product is isolated as viscos oil.

General Procedure for Substitution with p-(2-halogenethoxy)-phenylsulfonyl chloride


The tert-butyl 4-fluoro-2-aminopent-4-enecarboxylate is dissolved in pyridine and treated with 1 equivalent of p-(2-halogenethoxy)phenylsulfonyl chloride under stiffing at 0° C. The reaction mixture is allowed to warm up to r.t. and stirred for 40 h. Then the mixture is diluted with dichloromethane and the organic solution is washed with 0.5 N HCl, water (2 times each) and saturated aqueous sodium chloride. After drying with magnesium sulfate the solvent was removed in vacuum. The product is passed through a short pad of silica gel and recrystallized from ethyl acetate/cyclohexane. The products are isolated as white crystalline solids.

General Procedure for Substitution with Benzyl Bromide


The N-substituted tert-butyl 2-amino-4-fluoropent-4-enoate dissolved in dimethylformamide is treated under stirring with 10 equivalents of potassium carbonate. After 20 min 1 equivalent of benzyl bromide is added and the mixture is stirred at r.t. for 40 h. Then water is added and the mixture is extracted with ethyl acetate (4 times). The combined organic extracts are washed with water (4 times), saturated sodium chloride solution and dried with magnesium sulfate. After removal of the solvent the crude product is purified chromatographically an (silica gel, Cy/EtOAc, 4:1). The products are obtained as colorless or yellowish viscos oils.

Hydrolysis of the Tert-Butylesters


In a dried YOUNG-tube the amino acid tert-butylester is dissolved in dry dichloromethane (20 mL/mmol) under argon and treated with trifluoroacetic acid (20 mL/mmol). The YOUNG-tube is flushed with argon and sealed. The mixture is stirred at r.t. for 3-4 h. Subsequently the reaction mixture is evaporated to dryness in vacuum. The residue is dissolved in chloroform (100 mL/mmol) and washed with an aqueous solution of citric acid and sodium bicarbonate (25 mL/mmol, pH≈4). The aqueous phase is extracted with chloroform (4×30 mL/mmol) and the combined organic phases are dried with magnesium sulfate. After evaporation of the solvent the crude products are obtained as colorless, viscos oils, which in high vacuum solidified. These products were used for the next step without purification.

Prepared from tert-butyl N-benzyl-N-[p-(2-chloroethoxy)phenylsulfonyl]-2-amino-4-fluoropent-4-enoate (430 mg, 0.97 mmol). The crude product was directly used for the next step.


Synthesis of the tert-butyl hydroxamates


The N,N-disubstituted α-amino acid (1 equivalent) is suspended in dichloromethane (15 mL/mmol). 1-Hydroxy-benzotriazol (HOBT, 1 equivalent) is added and the mixture is stirred for a short period of time. Then N-methylmorpholin (NMM, 5 equivalents) is added under stirring while the carboxylic acid dissolves. Subsequently, O-tert-butylhydroxylamine (3 aquivalents) is added and the solution is stirred for 5 min. After addition of 1-(3-dimethylaminopropyl-3-ethylcarbodiimid-hydrochloride (EDC) (1.3 equivalents) the mixture is stirred at r.t. over night. The solution is washed with water (20 mL), and the aqueous phase is extracted with dichloromethane (3×20 mL). The combined organic phase is washed with brine (1×20 mL) and dried with magnesium sulfate. The solvent is evaporated and the crude product is purified by column chromatography (silica gel, Cy/EtOAc, 1:3). The silica gel has to be inactivated using the eluent mixture with 2% of triethylamine. The products are obtained as highly viscose liquids, which on drying in high vacuum give amorphous solids.

Assay for MMP-2 and MMP-9 Inhibitory Activity

The synthetic broad-spectrum fluorogenic substrate (7-methoxycoumarin-4-yl)acetyl pro-Leu-Gly-Leu-(3-(2,4-dinitrophenyl)-L-2,3-diamino-propionyl)-Ala-Arg-NH2 (R & D Systems) was used to assay MMP-2 and MMP-9 activity.


The inhibition of MMP-2 and MMP-9 by the MMP inhibitors of table 1 was assayed by incubating either MMP-2 (2 nM) or MMP-9 (2 nM) and the compounds to be assayed at different concentrations (10 pM-1 mM) for 30 mM at 37° C. in 50 mM Tris.HCl (pH=7.5), 0.2M NaCl, 5 mM CaCl2, 20 μM ZnSO4 and 0.05% Brij35.


An aliquot of substrate (10 μI of a 50 μM solution) was then added to 90 μM of pre-incubated MMP/compound mixture, and activity was determined at 37° C. by following product release with time. The fluorescence changes were monitored using a Fusion Universal Microplate Analyzer (Packard Bioscience) with excitation and emission wavelengths set to 330 and 390 nm, respectively. Reaction rates were measured from the initial 10 mM of the reaction profile where product release was linear with time and plotted as a function of inhibitor dose. From the resulting inhibition curves, the IC50 values for each inhibitor were calculated by nonlinear regression analysis, performed using the GRACE 5.1.8 software (Linux).
