Cyclic amide derivatives for treating asthma

This invention concerns novel cyclic amide derivatives, and, more particularly, novel N-substituted benzo-fused lactams which antagonize the pharmacological actions of one of the endogenous neuropeptide tachykinins known as neurokinins, particularly at the neurokinin 2 (NK2) receptor. The novel cyclic amide derivatives are useful whenever such antagonism is desired. Thus, such compounds may be of value in the treatment of those diseases in which an NK2 receptor is implicated, for example, in the treatment of asthma and related conditions. The invention also provides pharmaceutical compositions containing the novel cyclic amide derivatives for use in such treatment, methods for their use, and processes and intermediates for the manufacture of the novel cyclic amide derivatives.
The mammalian neurokinins comprise a class of peptide neurotransmitters which are found in the peripheral and central nervous systems. The three principal neurokinins are Substance P (SP), Neurokinin A (NKA) and Neurokinin B (NKB). There are also N-terminally extended forms of at least NKA. At least three receptor types are known for the three principal neurokinins. Based upon their relative selectivities favoring the neurokinin agonists SP, NKA and NKB, respectively, the receptors are classifed as neurokinin 1 (NK1), neurokinin 2 (NK2) and neurokinin 3 (NK3) receptors, respectively. In the periphery, SP and NKA are localized in C-afferent sensory neurons, which neurons are characterized by non-myelinated nerve endings known as C-fibers, and are released by selective depolarization of these neurons, or selective stimulation of the C-fibers. C-Fibers are located in the airway epithelium, and the tachykinins are known to cause profound effects which clearly parallel many of the symptoms observed in asthmatics. The effects of release or introduction of tachykinins in mammalian airways include bronchoconstriction, increased microvascular permeability, vasodiiation and activation of mast cells. Thus, the tachykinins are implicated in the pathophysiology and the airway hyperresponsiveness observed in asthmatics; and blockade of the action of released tachykinins may be useful in the treatment of asthma and related conditions. Peptidic NK2 antagonists have been reported. For example, a cyclic hexapeptide known as L-659,877 has been reported as a selective NK2 antagonist. Nonpeptidic NK2 antagonists also have been reported, for example in European Patent Application, Publication Number (EPA) 428434, EPA 474561, EPA 512901, EPA 512902 and EPA 515240, as well as in EPA 559538. We have discovered a series of nonpeptidic NK2 antagonists, and this is the basis for our invention.

A similar convention applies to other generic groups, for example, alkoxy, alkanoyl, et cetera. Halo is fluoro, chloro, bromo or iodo. Aryl (except where more specifically defined) denotes a phenyl radical or an ortho-fused bicyclic carbocyclic radical having about nine to ten ring atoms in which at least one ring is aromatic. Heteroaryl (except where more specifically defined) encompasses a radical attached via a ring carbon of a monocyclic aromatic ring containing five ring atoms consisting of carbon and one to four heteroatoms selected from oxygen, sulfur and nitrogen or containing six ring atoms consisting of carbon and one or two nitrogens, as well as a radical of an ortho-fused bicyclic heterocycle of about eight to ten atoms derived therefrom, particularly a benz-derivative or one derived by fusing a propenylene, trimethylene of tetramethylene diradical thereto, as well as a stable N-oxide thereof. Aroyl is arylcarbonyl; heteroaroyl is heteroarylcarbonyl.

In general, for a compound of formula I or formula III, it is preferred that the sterochemistry correspond to that identified above, although the designation of an asymmetric center as (R)- or (S)- may vary with the particular molecule owing to the sequence rules for nomenclature.
Specific compounds of formula I (and of formula III) are described in the accompanying Examples.
Pharmaceutically acceptable salts of a compound of formula I (or of formula III) include those made with a strong inorganic or organic acid which affords a physiologically acceptable anion, such as, for example, hydrochloric, sulfuric, phosphoric, methanesulfonic, or para-toluenesulfonic acid.
A compound of formula I (or of formula III) may be made by processes which include processes known in the chemical art for the production of structurally analogous heterocyclic compounds. Such processes and intermediates for the manufacture of a compound of formula I (or of formula III) as defined above are provided as further features of the invention and are illustrated by the following procedures in which the meanings of generic radicals are as defined above unless otherwise indicated:
(a) For a compound of formula I in which Z denotes a nitrogen (or for a compound of formula III), alkylating a piperidine of formula IIIa (wherein Q.sup.1a is a radical of formula Q.sup.1 defined above for a compound of formula I in which Z denotes a nitrogen) with an aldehyde of formula IV (or of formula IVa), by reductive alkylation. The alkylation is preferably carried out by a conventional reductive alkylation, for example as described in Example 1, by the in situ, acid-catalyzed formation of an imminum salt, followed by reduction with sodium cyanoborohydride in alcoholic solvent.
(b) Alkylating a piperidine of formula IIIa with an alkylating agent of formula V (or of formula Va) in which Y is a leaving group. Typical values for Y include for example, iodide, bromide, methanesulfonate, p-toluenesulfonate, trifluoromethanesulfonate, and the like. The reaction may be carried out under standard conditions, for example in a suitable solvent at a temperature in the range of -20.degree. to 100.degree. C., preferably in the range of 0.degree. to 50.degree. C.
(c) For an N-oxide of the piperidino nitrogen indicated by .DELTA. of a compound of formula I (or of formula III), oxidizing the piperidino nitrogen indicated by .DELTA. of a compound of formula I using a conventional procedure, such as, for example, using hydrogen peroxide in methanol, peracetic acid, 3-chloroperoxybenzoic acid in an inert solvent (such as dichloromethane) or dioxirane in acetone.
(d) For a quaternary ammonium salt of the piperidino nitrogen indicated by A of a compound of formula I (or of formula III), alkylating the piperidino nitrogen indicated by .DELTA. of the compound of formula I (or of formula III) with an alkylating agent of formula R.sup.1 Y or alkylating a piperidine of formula IIIb with an alkylating agent of formula V, wherein Y is a leaving group, followed, if required, by exchanging the counterion Y for a different counterion A by a conventional method. Typical values for Y include those listed above. Exchange of counterions may conveniently be carried out using a basic ion exchange resin in the "A" form.
(e) For a compound of formula I in which Q.sup.1 is of formula Id, reducing the double bond of a corresponding starting material of formula VI using a conventional method.
(f) For a compound of formula I in which Q.sup.1 is of formula Id, substituting the nitrogen of a compound of formula VIa with a radical of formula R.sup.da --(X.sup.d)p--Z.sup.d -- using a conventional method.
(g) For a compound of formula I (or of formula III) which bears a sulfinyl group, oxidizing the sulfur of a corresponding compound of formula I (or of formula III) which bears a sulfide group using a conventional method.
(h) For a compound of formula I (or of formula III) which bears a sulfonyl group, oxidizing a sulfide or sulfinyl group of a corresponding compound of formula I (or of formula III) using a conventional method.
(i) For a compound of formula I (or of formula III) which bears an aromatic hydroxy group, cleaving the ether of a corresponding compound of formula I (or of formula III) which bears an aromatic alkoxy group using a conventional method.
It may be desired to optionally use a protecting group during all or portions of the above described processes; the protecting group then may be removed when the final compound is to be formed.
Whereafter, for any of the above procedures, when a pharmaceutically acceptable salt of a compound of formula I is required, it may be obtained by reacting the compound of formula I with an acid affording a physiologically acceptable counterion or by any other conventional procedure.
It will also be appreciated that certain of the various optional substituents in the compounds of the invention may be introduced by standard aromatic substitution reactions or generated by conventional functional group modifications either prior to or immediately following the processes above, and as such are included in the process aspect of the invention. Such reactions and modifications include, for example, introduction of nitro or halogeno and reduction of nitro. The reagents and reaction conditions for such procedures are well known in the chemical art.
If not commercially available, the necessary starting materials for the above procedures may be made by procedures which are selected from standard techniques of heterocyclic chemistry, techniques which are analogous to the synthesis of known, structurally similar compounds (particularly those described in the above noted EPA publications and their counterparts), and techniques which are analogous to the above described procedures or the procedures described in the Examples. The starting materials and the procedures for their preparation are additional aspects of the invention.
In Schemes I and II are outlined general synthetic routes for the preparation of starting materials of formulae IV and V (or corresponding compounds of formulae IVa and Va). Thus, an arylacetic acid of formula X in which R.sup.2 is hydroxy, a corresponding ester of formula X in which R.sup.2 is, for example, methoxy or ethoxy, or an amide of formula X (such as the chiral amide in which R.sup.2 is (R)- or (S)-4-benzyl-2-oxopyrrolidin-1-yl) may be alkylated with a compound of formula R.sup.3 CH.sub.2 Y in which R.sup.3 is a protected or latent hydroxymethyl or formyl radical, for example tetrahydropyran-2-yloxmethyl, vinyl, or dimethoxymethyl (or other acetal), and Y is a leaving group, as described above, to afford a substituted acid derivative of formula XI (or a substituted derivative of formula XII wherein Q.sup.3 is hydrogen). For a compound of formula XII in which Q.sup.3 is not hydrogen, an acid derivative of formula XI may be alkylated further with an alkylating agent of formula Q.sup.3 Y. Alternatively, a compound of formula X first may be alkylated with an alkylating agent of formula Q.sup.3 Y to afford a substituted drivative of formula XIII, followed by alkylation with a compound of formula R.sub.3 CH.sub.2 Y to afford a substituted ester derivative of formula XII. It may be convenient or preferred to prepare an intermediate compound of formula XII in an optically pure form at the center indicated by * using a conventional method, such as resolving an acid of formula XII in which R.sup.2 is hydroxy or by alkylating the amide of a chiral amine, such as the one described above.
The radical --COR.sup.2 of a compound of formula XII then may be converted into a benzo-fused lactam radical Q.sup.2. For a compound in which Q.sup.2 is a carbon-linked radical, the carbonyl carbon of formula XII conveniently becomes the carbon of Q.sup.2 bonded to the carbon indicated by * in the structure formulae. For example, for a ring system of formula IIa or IIb in which J is oxygen and M.sup.1 is CH, an ester of formula XII or the corresponding N-methoxy-N-methyl amide of formula XII may be condensed with a dimetallated benzamide or o-toluamide, such as the lithium derivatives described in Examples 1-7 or the corresponding dichlorocerium or dichlorolanthanum derivatives, and further elaborated to form the ring Q.sup.2. It may be preferred to use zinc iodide and sodium cyanoborohydride in the reduction described in Example 2.c to obtain a single diasteromer. (It will be recognized that the ketone initially formed in Example 2.b may reversibly cyclize to afford an isomeric 3-hydroxy-2-methyl-2,3-dihydroisoindole-1-one.) For a compound in which Q.sup.2 is a nitrogen-linked radical, an acid derivative of formula XII may be converted into the corresponding amine of formula XVI and the nitrogen of the amine then incorporated into the radical Q.sup.2. (An amine of formula XVI also may be prepared by alkylation of a nitro compound of formula Q.sup.4 CH.sub.2 NO.sub.2, followed by reduction of the nitro group.) Alternatively, particularly when Q.sup.3 is hydrogen, a compound of formula XVII wherein Y is a leaving group, as described above, may be used to alkylate the anion derived from the deprotonation of a compound of formula Q.sup.2 --H (or formed by a different method) to directly afford a compound of formula XIV.
An intermediate of formula XIV may be converted into a starting material aldehyde of formula IV (or formula IVa) by conversion of the group R.sup.3 into a formyl group, for example by the oxidative cleavage of a compound in which R.sup.3 is vinyl or hydrolysis of the acetal when R.sup.3 is dimethoxymethyl. Alternatively, for a compound of formula XIV in which R.sup.3 is a protected hydroxymethyl, deprotection of the alcohol affords an alcohol of formula XV. The alcohol of formula XV may be oxidized to afford an aldehyde of formula IV (or formula IVa), or the hydroxy group may be converted into a leaving group Y by using a conventional method to afford a starting material of formula V (or formula Va). An alcohol of formula XV may be oxidized to the aldehyde of formula IV (or formula IVa), for example using oxalyl chloride, dimethyl sulfoxide and triethylamine as described in Example 1.f or using Dess-Martin periodinane (1,1,1-triacetoxy-1,1-dihydro-1,2-benziodoxol-3(1H)-one).
For the preparation of a starting material piperidine of formula IIIa, a 1-protected 4-piperidone or a 1-protected 4-aminopiperidine is typically a convenient starting material for elaboration into the requisite substituted piperidine using a conventional method, followed by deprotection of the piperidino nitrogen. When a compound of formula IIIa containing a thiocarbonyl group is required, it conveniently may be obtained from a corresponding 1-protected piperidine intermediate containing a carbonyl group oxygen by treatment with phosphorous pentasulfide or with Lawesson's reagent, 2,4-bis(4-methoxyphenyl)-1,3-dithia-2,4-diphosphetane-2,4-disulfide, followed by deprotection of the piperidino nitrogen.
A starting material piperidine of formula IIIb may be obtained from a piperidine of formula IIIa by reductive alkylation to introduce the substutient R.sup.1, or the compound may be prepared in a manner analogous to the preparation of a piperidine of formula IIIa.
A starting material of formula VI may be prepared from a corresponding ketone of formula VIb by a conventional method, for example by condensation with a a compound of formula VIc in which R.sup.dx and R.sup.dy together form a triphenylphosphoranylidene radical or with the anion obtained by deprotonation of a compound of formula VIc wherein R.sup.dx is a dimethylphosphono radical and R.sup.dy is hydrogen. A compound of formula VIc may be obtained from a compound of formula V using a conventional method. A starting material of formula VIa may be prepared analogously from a 1-protected 4-pyridone, followed by reduction and deprotection.
As will be clear to one skilled in the art, a variety of sequences is available for preparation of the starting materials, and the sequences leading to the starting materials and products of the invention may be altered if appropriate considerations regarding the synthetic methods and radicals present are followed.
The utility of a compound of the invention or a pharmaceutically acceptable salt thereof (hereinafter, collectively referred to as a "Compound") may be demonstrated by standard tests and clinical studies, including those disclosed in the EPA publications noted above, such as EPA 428434 or EPA 474561 (or U.S. Pat. No. 5,236,921), and those described below.
Neurokinin A (NKA) Receptor-binding Assay (Test A)
The ability of a Compound of the invention to antagonize the binding of NKA at the NK2 receptor may be demonstrated using an assay using the human NK2 receptor expressed in Mouse Erythroleukemia (MEL) cells, as described in: Aharony, D., Little, J., Thomas, C., Powell, S., Berry, D. and Graham, A. Isolation and Pharmacological Characterization of a Hampster Neurokinin A Receptor cDNA, Molecular Pharmacology, 1994, 45, 9-19. In an initial use of this assay, the IC.sub.50 measured for the standard compound L-659,877 was found to be 30 nM versus .sup.3 H-NKA binding to MEL.
The selectivity of a Compound for binding at the NK2 receptor may be shown by determining its binding at other receptors using standard assays, for example, one using a tritiated derivative of SP in a tissue preparation selective for NK1 receptors or one using a tritiated derivative of NKB in a tissue preparation selective for NK3 receptors.
Guinea Pig Assay (Test B)
The ability of a Compound of the invention to antagonize the action of an agonist, either NKA or [.beta.-ala.sup.8 ]-NKA(4-10), in a pulmonary tissue may be demonstrated using a functional assay in guinea pig trachea, which is carried out as follows. The chosen agonist is refered to as AG throughout the description.
Male guinea pigs are killed by a sharp blow to the back of the head. The trachea are removed, trimmed of excess tissue and divided into two segments. Each segment is suspended as a ring between stainless steel stirrups in water-jacketed (37.5.degree. C.) tissue baths containing a physiological salt solution of the following composition (mM): NaCl, 119; KCl 4.6; CaCl.sub.2, 1.8; MgCl.sub.2, 0.5; NaH.sub.2 PO.sub.4, 1; NaHCO.sub.3, 25; glucose, 11; thiorphan, 0.001; and indomethacin, 0.005; gassed continuously with 95% O.sub.2 -%5 CO.sub.2. Initial tension placed on each tissue is 1 g, which is maintained throughout a 0.5 to 1.5 hour equilibration period before addition of other drugs. Contractile responses are measured on a Grass polygraph via Grass FT-03 force transducers.
Tissues are challenged repetitively with a single concentration of AG (10 nM) with intervening 30 min periods with washing to allow the tension to return to baseline levels. The magnitude of the contractions to AG reaches a constant level after two challenges, and each Compound is tested for inhibition of responses to AG by addition to the tissue bath 15 minute before the third or subsequent exposure to the agonist. The contractile response to AG in the presence of Compound is compared to that obtained with the second AG challenge (in the absence of Compound). Percent inhibition is determined when a Compound produces a statistically significant (p<0.05) reduction of the contraction and is calculated using the second contractile response as 100%.
Potencies of selected Compounds are evaluated by calculating apparent dissociation constants (K.sub.B) for each concentration tested using the standard equation:
K.sub.B =[antagonist]/(dose ratio-1)
where dose ratio=antilog[(AG -log molar EC.sub.50 without Compound)-(AG -log molar EC.sub.50 with Compound)]. The K.sub.B values may be converted to the negative logarithms and expressed as -log molar K.sub.B (i.e. pK.sub.B). For this evaluation, complete concentration-response curves for AG are obtained in the absence and presence of Compound (30 min incubation period) using paired tracheal rings. The potency of AG is determined at 50% of its own maximum response level in each curve. The EC.sub.50 values are converted to the negative logarithms and expressed as -log molar EC.sub.50. Maximum contractile responses to AG are determined by expressing the maximum response to AG as a percentage of the contraction caused by carbachol (30 .mu.M), added after the initial equilibration period. When a statistically significant (p<0.05) reduction of the maximum response to AG is produced by a compound, the percent inhibition is calculated relative to the percentage of carbachol contraction in the untreated, paired tissue used as 100%.
Guinea Pig Labored Abdominal Breathing (Dyspnea) Assay (Test C)
Activity of a Compound of the invention as an antagonist of NKA at the NK2 receptor also may be demonstrated in vivo in laboratory animals, for example by adapting a routine guinea pig aerosol test described for evaluation of leukotriene antagonists by Snyder, et al. (Snyder, D. W., Liberati, N.J. and McCarthy, M. M., Conscious guinea-pig aerosol model for evaluation of peptide leukotriene antagonists. J. Pharmacol. Meth. (1988) 19, 219). Using the clear plastic chamber described previously by Snyder et al. to secure guinea pigs for a head-only aerosol exposure to bronchoconstrictor agonists, agonist is administered by aerosol to six conscious guinea pigs simultaneously during each maneuver. The tachykinin NK2-selective agonist, [.beta.-ala.sup.8 ]-NKA(4-10), 3.times.10.sup.-5 M, is aerosolized from a Devilbiss Model 25 ultrasonic nebulizer into an air stream entering the chamber at a rate of 2 L/minute.
Guinea pigs (275-400 g) are fasted for approximately 16 hours prior to experimentation. Compounds to be evaluated for blockade of effects of [.beta.-ala.sup.8 ]-NKA(4-10) or their vehicle (10% PEG400 in saline) are administered p.o. or i.v. at various times before aerosol agonist challenge. All animals are pretreated with atropine (10 mg/kg, i.p., 45 minutes pretreatment) indomethacin (10 mg/kg, i.p., 30 minutes pretreatment), propranolol (5 mg/kg, i.p., 30 minutes pretreatment), and thiorphan (1 mg/ml aerosol for 5 minutes, 15 minutes pretreatment).
Aerosol challenge with the agonist produces an initial increase in respiratory rate followed by a decrease with early signs of minor involvement of the abdominal muscles. The respiratory rate decreases further and the breathing becomes more labored with greater involvement of the abdominal muscles as exposure continues. The distinctly recognizable end point is the point where the breathing pattern of the guinea pig is consistently slow, deep, and deliberate, showing marked involvement of the abdominal muscles. Time, in seconds, from the onset of aerosol challenge to this end point is determined for each animal by using a stopwatch. The animals generally collapse after reaching the end point and donor recover from the agonist-induced respiratory distress. Antagonists result in an increase in the time to reach the end point. Animals receive the aerosol administration of agonist for a maximum time of 780 seconds.
Differences between drug treated groups and corresponding vehicle treated control groups are compared using Student's t-test for unpaired observations.
Clinical studies to demonstrate the efficacy of a Compound of the invention may be carried out using standard methods. For example, the ability of a Compound to prevent or treat the symptoms of asthma or asthma-like conditions may be demonstrated using a challenge of inhaled cold air or allergen and evaluation by standard pulmonary measurements such as, for example, FEV.sub.1 (forced expiratory volume in one second) and FVC (forced vital capacity), analyzed by standard methods of statistical analysis.
It will be appreciated that the implications of a Compound's activity in Test A or Test B is not limited to asthma, but rather, that the test provides evidence of general antagonism of NKA. In general, the Compounds of the invention which were tested demonstrated statistically significant activity in Test A with a K.sub.i of 1 .mu.M or much less. For example, the compound described in Example 4 was typically found to have a K.sub.i of 3.5 nM. In Test B, a pK.sub.B of 5 or greater was typically measured for a Compound of the invention. For example, a pK.sub.B of 7.7 was measured for the compound described in Example 4. It should be noted that there may not always be a direct correlation between the activities of Compounds measured as K.sub.i values in Test A and the values measured in other assays, such as the pK.sub.B measured in Test B.
As discussed above, a compound of formula I or a pharmaceutically acceptable salt thereof possesses NKA antagonist properties. Accordingly, it antagonizes at least one of the actions of NKA which are known to include bronchoconstriction, increased microvascular permeability, vasodilation and activation of mast cells. Accordingly, one feature of the invention is the use of a compound of formula I or a pharmaceutically acceptable salt thereof in the treatment of a disease in a human or other mammal in need thereof in which NKA is implicated and antagonism of its action is desired, such as for example the treatment of asthma or a related disorder. In addition, another feature of the invention is provided by the use of a compound of formula I or a salt thereof as a pharmacological standard for the development and standardization of new disease models or assays for use in developing new therapeutic agents for treating the diseases in which NKA is implicated or for assays for their diagnosis.
When used in the treatment of such a disease, a compound of the invention is generally administered as an appropriate pharmaceutical composition which comprises a compound of formula I or a pharmaceutically acceptable salt thereof as defined hereinbefore and a pharmaceutically acceptable diluent or carrier, the composition being adapted for the particular route of administration chosen. Such a composition is provided as a further feature of the invention. It may be obtained employing conventional procedures and excipients and binders, and it may be one of a variety of dosage forms. Such forms include, for example, tablets, capsules, solutions or suspensions for oral administration; suppositories for rectal administration; sterile solutions or suspensions for administration by intravenous or intramuscular infusion or injection; aerosols or nebulizer solutions or suspensions for administration by inhalation; or powders together with pharmaceutically acceptable solid diluents such as lactose for administration by insufflation.
For oral administration a tablet or capsule containing up to 250 mg (and typically 5 to 100 mg) of a compound of formula I may conveniently be used. For administration by inhalation, a compound of formula I will be administered to humans in a daily dose range of, for example, 5 to 100 mg, in a single dose or divided into two to four daily doses. Similarly, for intravenous or intramuscular injection or infusion a sterile solution or suspension containing up to 10% w/w (and typically 0.05 to 5% w/w) of a compound of formula I may conveniently be used.
The dose of a compound of formula I to be administered will necessarily be varied according to principles well known in the art taking account of the route of administration and the severity of the condition and the size and age of the patient under treatment. However, in general, the compound of formula I will be administered to a warm-blooded animal (such as man) so that a dose in the range of, for example, 0.01 to 25 mg/kg (and usually 0.1 to 5 mg/kg) is received. It will be understood that generally equivalent amounts of a pharmaceutically acceptable salt of a compound of formula I may be used.
The invention will now be illustrated by the following non-limiting examples in which, unless stated otherwise:

In general a diastereomeric mixture of a compound of of formula XVIII can be separated by chromatography to give a syn-diastereomer of formula XIX and an anti-diastereomer of formula XX as shown in Scheme III. Intermediates of formula XIX and XX can be converted to compounds of formula I wherein the syn- or anti- stereochemistry is conserved. In general, for compounds of formula I in which Q.sup.2 is a radical of formula IIa, wherein M.sup.1 is --CH--, the syn-diastereomer is preferred. In the above Examples, the compounds of Examples 9-27, 31-36, 39-46, 48-55, 60-65, 70, and 74-105 were prepared as the syn-diastereomer, the compound of Example 56 was prepared as the anti-diastereomer, and the compounds of Examples 28-30, 47 and 72 were prepared as a mixture of syn and anti diastereomers. ##STR2##
