Abstract
The invention relates to new compounds of 5-thioxilose, preferably derivatives of the 5-thioxilopyranose type, and to a method for preparing the same and their use as the active ingredient of drugs mainly intended for treating or inhibiting thrombosis or heart failure or thromboembolic diseases.
Description
FIELD OF THE INVENTION

The present invention relates to novel 5-thioxylose compounds, preferably derivatives of 5-thioxylopyranose type, and to their process of preparation and their use as active substance of medicaments, in particular intended for the treatment or inhibition of thrombosis.


PRIOR ART

D-Xylose derivatives are already known, for example in EP 051 023 B1, U.S. Pat. No. 4,877,808 or EP 421 829 B1 or in the publication J. Med. Chem. Vol. 36, No. 7, pp 898-903. The compounds described in these documents are of use in reducing the risks of venous thrombosis in man. The mechanism of action of these compounds appears to be an effect on glycosaminoglycans (J. Biol. Chem., Vol. 270, No. 6, pp 2662-68, Thromb. Haemost., 1999, 81, pp 945-950). The document WO 2005/030785 describes pyridinyl 5-thio-β-D-xylopyranosides exhibiting an activity in treating venous thrombosis.


Furthermore, it is known that the beneficial effects of a transluminal coronary angioplasty can be compromised due to restenosis of the vessel, thus causing a fresh obstruction of the arterial lumen. Compounds which make it possible to avoid this restenosis are thus of the greatest advantage in maintaining a satisfactory diagnosis following the surgical operation with regard to artherosclerosis.


Novel compounds have now been discovered, and this is the subject matter of the present invention, which exhibit a good effectiveness when they are administered orally with an excellent pharmacological result (generally approximately 100%) against the appearance of arterial or venous thrombosis.


DESCRIPTION

The novel compounds according to the invention are characterized in that they are chosen from:


a) the compounds of formula:

in which:

    • the pentapyranosyl group represents a 5-thio-β-D-xylopyranosyl group,
    • R represents a hydrogen atom or a C2-C6 acyl group,
    • R′ and R″ each independently represent a hydrogen atom, a halogen atom, a C1-C4 alkyl group or a 6-fluoro-3-pyridinyl group,
    • A represents a 5- or 6-membered aromatic ring of formula:

in which:

    • X represents a nitrogen, oxygen or sulfur atom,
    • Y represents a carbon atom or a single bond,
    • Z1, Z2 and Z3 each independently represent a carbon or nitrogen atom,
    • R1, R2 and R3 each independently represent a hydrogen atom, a halogen atom, a cyano group, a C1-C4 alkyl group, a C1-C4 alkoxy group or a trifluoromethyl group; or
    • R1 and R2 form, together with the atoms of the heterocycle to which they are attached, an aromatic ring comprising 6 carbon atoms, A thus representing a fused bicyclic group, in particular a benzofuranyl or benzothienyl group,


b) their addition salts,


c) their metabolites.


The invention also relates to the compounds of formula I for their use as pharmacologically active substance.


In particular, the invention relates to the use of at least one substance chosen from the compounds of formula I and their nontoxic salts for the preparation of a medicament, of use in human or animal therapeutics, intended for the inhibition or treatment of thrombosis, in particular venous thrombosis. The compounds according to the invention are also of use as active substances of medicaments intended for the inhibition of restenosis after transluminal coronary angioplasty. As the compounds according to the invention are active according to a method of action involving glycosaminoglycans, they may also be of use as active substance of a medicament intended for the treatment or inhibition of any other disease in which glycosaminoglycans are involved.







DETAILED DESCRIPTION

In the formula I, the term “C1-C4 alkyl group” is understood to mean a saturated, linear or branched, hydrocarbon chain having from 1 to 4 carbon atoms or one which is partially or completely cyclized, the cyclized portion having 3 or 4 carbon atoms. Examples of C1-C4 alkyl groups are in particular the methyl, ethyl, propyl, butyl, 1-methylethyl, 1,1-dimethylethyl, 1-methylpropyl, 2-methylpropyl, cyclopropyl or cyclopropylmethyl groups.


The term “halogen” should be understood as meaning a fluorine, chlorine, bromine or iodine atom and preferably a fluorine or chlorine atom.


The term “C2-C6 acyl group” is understood to mean an R—CO— group in which R represents an alkyl group as defined above having from 1 to 5 carbon atoms. Examples of C2-C6 acyl groups are in particular the acetyl, propanoyl, butanoyl, pentanoyl or hexanoyl groups and their homologs in which the chain can be branched.


The term “C1-C4 alkoxy group” is understood to mean an RO— group in which R represents an alkyl group having from 1 to 4 carbon atoms as defined above. Mention may be made, as examples of C1-C4 alkoxy groups, of the methoxy, ethoxy, propoxy, butoxy, 1-methylethoxy, 1,1-dimethylethoxy, 1-methylpropoxy, 2-methylpropoxy or cyclopropylmethoxy groups.


The term “addition salts” is understood to mean the addition salts obtained by reaction of a compound of formula I with an inorganic or organic acid.

Generally, it is preferable to use 2,3,4-tri-O-acetyl-5-thio-α-D-xylopyranosyl bromide or tetra-O-acetyl-5-thio-α-D-xylopyranose when it is a matter of obtaining a β-D-5-thioxylopyranose derivative.


The glycosylation reactions described above generally result in a mixture of the isomers of α and β configuration and it is generally necessary to optimize the operating conditions in order to obtain proportions favorable to the isomer of β configuration. For this same reason, it may also be necessary to carry out purifications, either by recrystallization or by chromatography, in order to obtain the pure β isomer.


The aim of the following examples is to illustrate the invention and they should under no circumstances limit the scope thereof. The melting points were measured on a Kofler bench or in a capillary tube and the Nuclear Magnetic Resonance spectral values are characterized by the chemical shift, calculated with respect to TMS, by the number of protons associated with a signal and by the shape of the signal (s for singlet, d for doublet, t for triplet, q for quartet and m for multiplet). The operating frequency and the solvent used are shown for each compound.

By carrying out the operation analogously to the first part of example 137, 5-(pinacolatoboryl)pyrimidine is prepared from 5-bromopyrimidine and is reacted immediately in the same reactor with 5-bromo-2-fluoro-3-pyridinyl 2,3,4-tri-O-acetyl-5-thio-β-D-xylopyranoside, obtained according to preparation VIII, under conditions analogous to those applied in the preparation of example 177. The expected product is thus obtained in the form of a yellow solid (yield=40%).


M.p.=96-97° C.


[α]D30=−11° (c=0.24; DMSO).


EXAMPLE 285
2-Fluoro-5-(5-pyrimidinyl)-3-pyridinyl 5-thio-β-D-xylopyranoside

By carrying out the operation analogously to example 2, starting from the product prepared according to example 284, the desired product is obtained in the form of a white solid (yield=60%).


M.p.=204-205° C.

In the above table:
    • Pos-N indicates the position of the thioxyloside group with respect to the nitrogen atom of the pyridine ring,
    • Pos-A indicates the position of the heterocycle A with respect to the nitrogen atom of the pyridine ring,
    • X indicates the nature of the primary heteroatom of the heterocycle A and its position with respect to the bond of the heterocycle A with the pyridine ring,
    • “sb” means single bond,
    • for the R1, R2 and R3 substituents, the figure indicates the position of the substituent on the heterocycle A with respect to the heteroatom X.


      By way of example, compound No. 226 is the compound of formula:

The antithrombotic activity of the compounds according to the invention was studied in vivo in rats by virtue of a test in which a venous thrombosis is reproduced.


The venous thrombosis was induced according to the protocol described in Thromb. Haemost., 1992, 67(1), 176-179. The activity via the oral route was studied according to the procedure described below.


The experiment is carried out on non-fasting male Wistar rats weighing from 250 to 280 g and divided into groups of 10 animals each. The test products are administered orally (intubation) in solution or in suspension in a 0.5% solution of methylcellulose in water. The concentrations of the compounds are calculated so as to bring about the absorption of an amount of solution of 10 ml/kg orally. A thrombosis is induced at a time T after the administration of the product and the thrombus formed is removed and weighed. In order to induce this thrombosis, a venous stasis is brought about under hypercoagulation, according to the technique described by Wessler (J. Applied Physiol., 1959, 943-946), using a solution of activated factor X (Xa), supplied by Biogenic (Montpellier) and comprising a dose of 7.5 nKat/kg, as hypercoagulant. The venous stasis is brought about 10 seconds exactly after the injection of the hypercoagulant. The activity of the test compounds is monitored at various doses, after they have been administered. The thrombosis is induced 2 hours after the administration of the compound. By way of example, the results of the above tests are given in the following table for a few compounds according to the invention (the activity is expressed by the percentage of inhibition of the formation of the thrombus, observed in the presence of the compound according to the invention, with respect to the weight of the thrombus formed in the absence of the compound).

These results show that the compounds according to the invention exhibit a good antithrombotic activity after administration via the oral route.


The present invention thus includes a compound of formula (I) according to the invention and its salts with an acid, solvates and hydrates which are pharmaceutically acceptable for their use as medicaments. The compound of formula (I) or one of its pharmaceutically acceptable salts, solvates or hydrates can be used in the preparation of an antithrombotic medicament intended in particular for the treatment or inhibition of disorders of the venous or arterial circulation and especially for correcting certain sensitive venous hematological parameters, or for compensating for cardiac insufficiency. The compound of formula (I) or one of its pharmaceutically acceptable salts, solvates or hydrates can also be used in the preparation of a medicament intended for the inhibition of restenosis after transluminal arterial or coronary angioplasty or else to inhibit or treat pathologies of thromboembolic type which risk occurring subsequent, for example, to a surgical action, such as hip or knee arthroplasty.
