This application is a national stage of International (PCT) Patent Application Serial No. PCT/EP2014/060033, filed May 16, 2014, which claims the benefit of and priority to European Patent Application Serial No. 13168165.2, filed May 17, 2013.
This invention relates to novel (Cyano-dimethyl-methyl)-isoxazoles- and [1,3,4]thiadiazoles and their use as cannabinoid receptor 2 agonists (CB2 receptor agonists), pharmaceutical compositions containing the same, and methods of using the same as agents for the treatment of CB2 receptor mediated disorders or conditions.
WO2008014199 and WO2008039645 discuss the CB2 receptor, and the therapeutic uses of the CB2 receptor agonist compounds disclosed therein. Further supporting evidence has more recently emerged in which the expression of CB2 in dorsal root ganglion neurons has been demonstrated in multiple species (Anand et al., 2008 Pain 138: 667-680). Neuronal expression of CB2 has been shown to be altered under pathological pain conditions suggesting a key role for CB2 neuronal signalling. A role for centrally located CB2 has been suggested by recent reports of an effect of CB2 on addictive behaviour (Xi et al., Nat. Neuroscience 2012, 14, 1160-1166; Morales & Bonci et al., Nature Med. 2012, 18, 504-505; Aracil-Fernandez et al., Neuropsychopharmacology 2012, 37, 1749-1763) and other conditions in which maladaptive impulsivity plays a role (Navarrete et al., Br. J. Pharmacol. 2012, 165, 260-273). A role of the hepatic CB2 in the pathogenesis of steatohepatitis and fibrotic liver diseases has also been suggested by several preclinical studies (Munoz-Luque et al., JPET 2008, 324, 475-483; Reichenbach et al., JPET 2012, 340, 629-637, WO2011009883). It is believed that the highly selective activation of the CB2 receptor with an agonist may offer avenues of harnessing the beneficial effects while avoiding the adverse effects seen with dual CB1/CB2 cannabinoid receptor agonists (see e.g. Expert Opinion on Investigational Drugs 2005, 14, 695-703). It is desirable therefore to provide agonists of CB2 with minimized CB1 activity.
WO2010036630, WO2010147792 and WO2010077836 disclose CB2 receptor agonists that are structurally closest to the compounds of the present invention.
The present invention provides novel (Cyano-dimethyl-methyl)-isoxazoles and [1,3,4]thiadiazoles, namely
or a pharmaceutically acceptable salt thereof.
Compounds of the present invention are CB2 receptor agonists. The disclosed compounds are not only potent activators of the CB2 receptor (assay 1) but also show
1) no or low activation of the CB1 receptor (assay 2), and
2) no or low MDCK efflux (assay 3).
Thus, the present invention provides compounds which show a combination of potency as CB2 receptor agonists, high selectivity against the CB1 receptor, and low MDCK efflux.
It is demonstrated that the structurally closest compounds exemplified in WO2010036630, WO2010147792 and WO2010077836 do not have this balanced profile of desirable properties. The compounds of the present invention are therefore less likely to cause CB1 mediated side effects in vivo and to demonstrate in vivo efflux as compared to the closest prior art compounds, while they are expected to be efficacious in various in vivo models. Thus, they are expected to have a higher tolerability and are therefore potentially more viable for human use.
Terms not specifically defined herein should be given the meanings that would be given to them by one skilled in the art in light of the disclosure and the context.

The biological activity of compounds was determined by the following methods.
A. In Vitro Testing of CB2 Potency: CB2 cAMP (Assay 1)
CHO cells expressing human CB2R (Euroscreen) were plated at a density of 10,000 cells per well in 384 well plates and incubated overnight at 37° C. After removing the media, the cells were treated with test compounds diluted in stimulation buffer containing 1 mM IBMX, 0.25% BSA and 10 uM Forskolin. The assay was incubated for 30 minutes at 37° C. Cells were lysed and the cAMP concentration was measured using DiscoverX-XS cAMP kit, following the manufacturer's protocol. In this setting, agonists will decrease forskolin induced production of cAMP while inverse agonists will further increase forskolin induced production of cAMP. EC50 of agonists were calculated as follows. The maximal amount of cAMP produced by forskolin compared to the level of cAMP inhibited by 1 uM CP55940 is defined as 100%. The EC50 value of each test compound was determined as the concentration at which 50% of the forskolin-stimulated cAMP synthesis was inhibited. Data was analyzed using a four-parameter logistic model. (Model 205 of XLfit 4.0).
B. In Vitro Testing of CB1 Potency: CB1 cAMP (Assay 2)
CHO cells expressing human CB1R (Euroscreen) were plated at a density of 10,000 cells per well in 384 well plates and incubated overnight at 37° C. After removing the media, the cells were treated with test compounds diluted in stimulation buffer containing 1 mM IBMX, 0.25% BSA and 10 uM Forskolin. The assay was incubated for 30 minutes at 37° C. Cells were lysed and the cAMP concentration was measured using DiscoverX-XS cAMP kit, following the manufacturer's protocol. In this setting, agonists will decrease forskolin induced production of cAMP while inverse agonists will further increase forskolin induced production of cAMP. EC50 of agonists were calculated as follows. The maximal amount of cAMP produced by forskolin compared to the level of cAMP inhibited by 1 uM CP55940 is defined as 100%. The EC50 value of each test compound was determined as the concentration at which 50% of the forskolin-stimulated cAMP synthesis was inhibited. Data was analyzed using a four-parameter logistic model. (Model 205 of XLfit 4.0).
C. Assessment of Efflux in Madin-Darby Canine Kidney Cells Transfected with the Human MDR1 Gene (MDCK Assay) (Assay 3)
Apparent permeability coefficients (PE) of the compounds across the MDCK-MDR1 cell monolayers are measured (pH 7.4, 37° C.) in apical-to-basal (AB) and basal-to-apical (BA) transport direction. AB permeability (PEAB) represents drug absorption from the blood into the brain and BA permeability (PEBA) drug efflux from the brain back into the blood via both passive permeability as well as active transport mechanisms mediated by efflux and uptake transporters that are expressed on the MDCK-MDR1 cells, predominantly by the overexpressed human MDR1 P-gp. The compounds are assigned to permeability/absorption classes by comparison of the AB permeabilities with the AB permeabilities of reference compounds with known in vitro permeability and oral absorption in the human. Identical or similar permeabilities in both transport directions indicate passive permeation, vectorial permeability points to additional active transport mechanisms. Higher PEBA than PEAB indicates the involvement of active efflux mediated by MDR1 P-gp. Active transport is concentration-dependently saturable. MDCK-MDR1 cells (1-2×10e5 cells/1 cm2 area) are seeded on filter inserts (Costar transwell polycarbonate or PET filters, 0.4 μm pore size) and cultured (DMEM) for 7 days. Subsequently, the MDR1 expression is boosted by culturing the cells with 5 mM sodium butyrate in full medium for 2 days. Compounds are dissolved in appropriate solvent (like DMSO, 1-20 mM stock solutions). Stock solutions are diluted with HTP-4 buffer (128.13 mM NaCl, 5.36 mM KCl, 1 mM MgSO4, 1.8 mM CaCl2, 4.17 mM NaHCO3, 1.19 mM Na2HPO4×7H2O, 0.41 mM NaH2PO4×H2O, 15 mM HEPES, 20 mM glucose, 0.25% BSA, pH 7.4) to prepare the transport solutions (0.1-300 μM compound, final DMSO<=0.5%). The transport solution (TL) is applied to the apical or basolateral donor side for measuring A-B or B-A permeability (3 filter replicates), respectively. The receiver side contains the same buffer as the donor side. Samples are collected at the start and end of experiment from the donor and at various time intervals for up to 2 hours also from the receiver side for concentration measurement by HPLC-MS/MS or scintillation counting. Sampled receiver volumes are replaced with fresh receiver solution.

Data demonstrate that compounds of the present invention have a more balanced profile in terms of CB2 potency, CB1 activity and MDCK efflux.

In general, a synergistic effect is most clearly demonstrated at suboptimal concentrations of the compounds. Synergy can be in terms of lower cytotoxicity, increased pharmacological effect, or some other beneficial effect of the combination compared with the individual components.

To 75 g (0.75 mol) of tetrahydropyran-4-one in THF (150 mL) is added a suspension of 28.4 g (0.75 mol) LiAlH4 in THF (600 mL) under nitrogen atmosphere maintaining the temperature below 30° C. with the aid of an ice-bath. Then the reaction is allowed to warm to RT and stirred for 5 h. The reaction is quenched by addition of sat. aq. NH4Cl solution until effervescence ceased. The resulting precipitate is removed by filtration through Celite® and washed with THF (150 mL). The filtrate is concentrated under reduced pressure to afford 71.1 g of tetrahydropyran-4-ol. Yield: 92%.
To 133 g (1.31 mol) of tetrahydropyran-4-ol in pyridine (1.5 L) are added 373 g (1.95 mol) of p-toluenesulfonylchloride portionwise at 10° C. After complete addition the reaction is allowed to warm to RT and stirred for 18 h. The reaction is poured onto a stirred mixture of aq. HCl/ice. The resulting precipitate is isolated by filtration and dissolved in DCM (1 L). The organic layer is washed with 1 M aq. HCl solution (1 L), followed by sat. aq. NaHCO3 solution (1 L) and is then dried over Na2SO4. Filtration and concentration of the filtrate under reduced pressure gives 300 g of toluene-4-sulfonic acid tetrahydropyran-4-yl ester. Yield: 90%; ESI-MS: 257 [M+H]+
To 300 g (1.175 mol) of toluene-4-sulfonic acid tetrahydropyran-4-yl ester in DMF (3 L) are added 268 g (2.35 mol) potassium thioacetate, followed by a catalytic amount of NaI (0.12 g, 10 mol %) at RT. After complete addition, the reaction is heated to 50° C. for 20 h. The reaction mixture is partitioned between TBME (3 L) and water (3 L), the aq. layer is extracted with TBME (2 L), then saturated with NaCl and extracted again with TBME (2×2 L). The combined organic extracts are dried over Na2SO4, filtered and the solvent is removed under reduced pressure to afford 153 g of thioacetic acid S-(tetrahydro-pyran-4-yl) ester. Yield: 81%; ESI-MS: 161 [M+H]+
A solution of 153 g (0.96 mol) of thioacetic acid S-(tetrahydro-pyran-4-yl) ester in EtOH (3.5 L) is degassed with nitrogen over 0.5 h and 125 g (2.23 mol) of KOH are added. Then a solution of 250 mL (1.68 mol) of ethyl α-bromoisobutyrate in EtOH (1 L) are added over 0.5h, during which the temperature increased to 40° C. The reaction is stirred for 18 h at RT under a nitrogen atmosphere. The reaction mixture is filtered, the solid is washed with EtOH (0.5 L) and the filtrate is concentrated under reduced pressure.

79.0 mg (0.23 mmol) of (S)-1-(tetrahydro-pyran-4-yl)-pyrrolidine-2-carboxylic acid [3-(2-hydroxyimino-1,1-dimethyl-ethyl)-isoxazol-5-yl]-amide are added to 1.00 mL trifluoroacetic anhydride and stirred at 100° C. for 3 h. The solvent is removed under reduced pressure. The residue is purified by HPLC-MS to afford 32.6 mg of (S)-1-(tetrahydro-pyran-4-yl)-pyrrolidine-2-carboxylic acid[3-(cyano-dimethyl-methyl)-isoxazol-5-yl]-amide. Yield: 44%; ESI-MS: 333 [M+H]+; HPLC (Rt): 0.66 min (method F); 1H-NMR (400 MHz, DMSO-d6): 1.31-1.53 (m, 2H), 1.57-1.65 (m, 1H), 1.69 (s, 6H), 1.69-1.81 (m, 4H), 2.01-2.14 (m, 1H), 2.50-2.66 (m, 2H), 3.08-3.14 (m, 1H), 3.20-3.32 (m, 2H), 3.47-3.52 (m, 1H), 3.77-3.88 (m, 2H), 6.46 (s, 1H), 9.70 (s, 1H) ppm.
To 3.43 g (14.6 mmol) 2-Methyl-2-(tetrahydro-pyran-4-sulfonyl)-propionic acid (intermediate 1) in 38 mL toluene and 17 μL pyridine at 90° C. is added 2.60 g (21.8 mmol) SOCl2 dropwise within 20 min and stirring is continued for 2 h at 90° C. The solvent is evaporated under reduced pressure and the residue is coevaporated twice with toluene (16 mL each) to afford the crude acid chloride. To 2.00 g 2-(5-Amino-isoxazol-3-yl)-2-methyl-propionitrile (13.2 mmol, intermediate 7) in 14 mL toluene is added 3.80 mL (21.8 mmol) DIPEA. To this mixture at 60° C. is added dropwise a mixture of the acid chloride in 16 mL toluene within 10 min and stirring is continued overnight at 50° C. After addition of water (24 mL) the mixture is heated to 70° C. for 2 h and then allowed to cool to RT. The precipitate is filtered, washed with water (2×8 mL) and dried at 50° C. to afford 3.43 g of N-[3-(Cyano-dimethyl-methyl)-isoxazol-5-yl]-2-(tetrahydro-pyran-4-sulfonyl)-propionamide.
Yield: 70%; ESI-MS: 370 [M+H]+; HPLC (Rt): 0.89 min (method F); 1H-NMR (400 MHz, DMSO-d6): 1.62-1.72 (m, 2H), 1.69 (s, 6H), 1.70 (s, 6H), 1.80-1.87 (m, 2H), 3.30-3.42 (m, 3H), 3.86-3.93 (m, 2H), 6.57 (s, 1H), 11.57 (s, 1H) ppm.
