Description
FIELD OF THE INVENTION

The present invention relates to certain diamino-pyridine, pyrimidine, and pyridazine compounds, pharmaceutical compositions containing them, methods of making them, and methods of using them for the modulation of the histamine H4 receptor and for the treatment of disease states, disorders, and conditions mediated by histamine H4 receptor activity.


BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION

The histamine H4 receptor (H4R), sometimes also referred to simply as “H4” or “H4”, is the most recently identified receptor for histamine (for reviews, see: Fung-Leung, W. -P., et al., Curr. Opin. Invest. Drugs 2004, 5(11), 1174-1183; de Esch, I. J. P., et al., Trends Pharmacol. Sci. 2005, 26(9), 462-469; Zhang, M. et al. Pharmacol. Ther. 2007, 113, 594-606; Thurmond, R. L. et al. Nat. Rev. Drug Disc. 2008, 7, 41-53; Zhang, M. et al. Expert Opin. Investig. Drugs 2006, 15(11), 1443-1452). The receptor is found in the bone marrow and spleen and is expressed on eosinophils, basophils, mast cells (Liu, C., et al., Mol. Pharmacol. 2001, 59(3), 420-426; Morse, K. L., et al., J. Pharmacol. Exp. Ther. 2001, 296(3), 1058-1066; Hofstra, C. L., et al., J. Pharmacol. Exp. Ther. 2003, 305(3), 1212-1221; Lippert, U., et al., J. Invest. Dermatol. 2004, 123(1), 116-123; Voehringer, D., et al., Immunity 2004, 20(3), 267-277), CD8+ T cells (Gantner, F., et al., J. Pharmacol. Exp. Ther. 2002, 303(1), 300-307), dendritic cells, and human synovial cells from rheumatoid arthritis patients (Ikawa, Y., et al., Biol. Pharm. Bull. 2005, 28(10), 2016-2018). The histamine H4 receptor is also elevated in human nasal polyp tissue (Jókúti, A. et al. Cell. Biol. Int. 2007, 31, 1367-1370). However, expression in neutrophils and monocytes is less well defined (Ling, P., et al., Br. J. Pharmacol. 2004, 142(1), 161-171; Damaj, B. B. et al. J. Immunol. 2007, 179, 7907-7915). Receptor expression is at least in part controlled by various inflammatory stimuli (Coge, F., et al., Biochem. Biophys. Res. Commun. 2001, 284(2), 301-309; Morse, et al., 2001), thus supporting that H4 receptor activation influences inflammatory responses. Because of its preferential expression on immunocompetent cells, the H4 receptor is closely related with the regulatory functions of histamine during the immune response.


A biological activity of histamine in the context of immunology and autoimmune diseases is closely related with the allergic response and its deleterious effects, such as inflammation. Events that elicit the inflammatory response include physical stimulation (including trauma), chemical stimulation, infection, and invasion by a foreign body. The inflammatory response is characterized by pain, increased temperature, redness, swelling, reduced function, or a combination of these.


Mast cell degranulation (exocytosis) releases histamine and leads to an inflammatory response that may be initially characterized by a histamine-modulated wheal and flare reaction. A wide variety of immunological stimuli (e.g., allergens or antibodies) and non-immunological (e.g., chemical) stimuli may cause the activation, recruitment, and de-granulation of mast cells. Mast cell activation initiates allergic inflammatory responses, which in turn cause the recruitment of other effector cells that further contribute to the inflammatory response. It has been shown that histamine induces chemotaxis of mouse mast cells (Hofstra, et al., 2003). Chemotaxis does not occur using mast cells derived from H4 receptor knockout mice. Furthermore, the response is blocked by an H4-specific antagonist, but not by H1, H2 or H3 receptor antagonists (Hofstra, et al., 2003; Thurmond, R. L., et al., J. Pharmacol. Exp. Ther. 2004, 309(1), 404-413). The in vivo migration of mast cells to histamine has also been investigated and shown to be H4 receptor dependent (Thurmond, et al., 2004). The migration of mast cells may play a role in allergic rhinitis and allergy where increases in mast cell number are found (Kirby, J. G., et al., Am. Rev. Respir. Dis. 1987, 136(2), 379-383; Crimi, E., et al., Am. Rev. Respir. Dis. 1991, 144(6), 1282-1286; Amin, K., et al., Am. J. Resp. Crit. Care Med. 2000, 162(6), 2295-2301; Gauvreau, G. M., et al., Am. J. Resp. Crit. Care Med. 2000, 161(5), 1473-1478; Kassel, O., et al., Clin. Exp. Allergy 2001, 31(9), 1432-1440). In addition, it is known that in response to allergens there is a redistribution of mast cells to the epithelial lining of the nasal mucosa (Fokkens, W. J., et al., Clin. Exp. Allergy 1992, 22(7), 701-710; Slater, A., et al., J. Laryngol. Otol. 1996, 110, 929-933). These results show that the chemotactic response of mast cells to histamine is mediated by histamine H4 receptors.


It has been shown that eosinophils can chemotax towards histamine (O'Reilly, M., et al., J. Recept. Signal Transduction 2002, 22(1-4), 431-448; Buckland, K. F., et al., Br. J. Pharmacol. 2003, 140(6), 1117-1127; Ling et al., 2004). Using H4 selective ligands, it has been shown that histamine-induced chemotaxis of eosinophils is mediated through the H4 receptor (Buckland, et al., 2003; Ling et al., 2004). Cell surface expression of adhesion molecules CD11b/CD18 (LFA-1) and CD54 (ICAM-1) on eosinophils increases after histamine treatment (Ling, et al., 2004). This increase is blocked by H4 receptor antagonists but not by H1, H2, or H3 receptor antagonists.


The H4R also plays a role in dendritic cells and T cells. In human monocyte-derived dendritic cells, H4R stimulation suppresses IL-12p70 production and drives histamine-mediated chemotaxis (Gutzmer, R., et al., J. Immunol. 2005, 174(9), 5224-5232). A rote for the H4 receptor in CD8+ T cells has also been reported. Gantner, et al., (2002) showed that both H4 and H2 receptors control histamine-induced IL-16 release from human CD8+ T cells. IL-16 is found in the bronchoalveolar fluid of allergen- or histamine-challenged asthmatics (Mashikian, V. M., et al., J. Allergy Clin. Immunol. 1998, 101 (6, Part 1), 786-792; Krug, N., et al., Am. J. Resp. Crit. Care Med. 2000, 162 (1), 105-111) and is considered important in CD4+ cell migration. The activity of the receptor in these cell types indicates an important role in adaptive immune responses such as those active in autoimmune diseases.


In vivo H4 receptor antagonists were able to block neutrophillia in zymosan-induced peritonitis or pleurisy models (Takeshita, K., et al., J. Pharmacol. Exp. Ther. 2003, 307(3), 1072-1078; Thurmond, et al., 2004). In addition, H4 receptor antagonists have activity in a widely used and well-characterized model of colitis (Varga, C., et al., Eur. J. Pharmacol. 2005, 522(1-3), 130-138). These results support the conclusion that H4 receptor antagonists have the capacity to be anti-inflammatory in vivo.


Another physiological role of histamine is as a mediator of itch and H1 receptor antagonists are not completely effective in the clinic. Recently, the H4 receptor has also been implicated in histamine-induced scratching in mice (Bell, J. K., et al., Br. J. Pharmacol. 2004, 142(2), 374-380). The effects of histamine could be blocked by H4 antagonists. These results support the hypothesis that the H4 receptor is involved in histamine-induced itch and that 4 receptor antagonists will therefore have positive effects in treating pruritis. Histamine H4 receptor antagonists have been shown to attenuate experimental pruritis (Dunford, P. J. et al. J. Allergy Clin. Immunol. 2007, 119(1), 176-183).


Modulation of H4 receptors controls the release of inflammatory mediators and inhibits leukocyte recruitment, thus providing the ability to prevent and/or treat H4-mediated diseases and conditions, including the deleterious effects of allergic responses such as inflammation. Compounds according to the present invention have H4 receptor modulating properties. Compounds according to the present invention have leukocyte recruitment inhibiting properties. Compounds according to the present invention have anti-inflammatory properties. Modulation of the histamine H4 receptor has also been implicated in the treatment of pain (Intl. Pat. Appl. Publ. WO 2008/060766 (Abbott).


Numerous pro-inflammatory cytokines have been increasingly reported to be elevated in patients suffering of major depression (Frommberger et al., European Archives of Psychiatry & Clinical Neuroscience. 1997, 247(4), 228-33; Sluzewska A., et al., Psychiatry Research, 1996, 64(3), 161-7; Ortiz-Dominguez, et al., Bip. Disporder 9, 2007; O'Brien, et al., J. Affective Disorders, 2006, 90, 263-267; Anisman H. et al., Biological Psychiatry, 1999, 46(12), 1649-55) (when compared with non-depressed subjects or, in some cases, correlated with symptom severity). These include increased acute-phase proteins (Kling et al., Biol. Psychiatry, 2007, 62, 309-313; Kim et al., Progress in Neuro-Psychopharmocology & Biological Psychiatry, 2007, 31, 1044-1053; (C-reactive protein, α-1-acid glycoprotein, α-1-antichymotrypsin and haptoglobin), increased expression of chemokines and adhesion molecules (including human macrophage chemoattractant protein-1 (MCP-1), soluble intracellular adhesion molecule-1 (sICAM-1) and E-selectin), increased serum and/or plasma concentrations of interleukin (IL)-1-β, IL-6, and tumor necrosis factor (TNF)-α, both in the peripheral blood circulation and in the central nervous system (particularly in the cerebrospinal fluid) with a higher level of consistency when measuring TNF-α and IL-6 (O'Brien et al., Journal of Psychiatric Research, 2007, 41, 326-331; Moorman et al., J. of Cardiac Failure, 2007, 13(9), 738-43; Soygur et al., Progress in Neuro-Psychopharmacology & Biological Psychiatry, 2007, 31, 1242-1247). Additionally, allelic variants of the genes for IL-1β and TNF-α increase the risk for depression and are associated with reduced responsiveness to antidepressant therapy. Finally, there is available preclinical evidence supporting the involvement of several cytokines in models of depression and some clinical evidence of the involvement of cytokines antagonism in the treatment of depressive symptoms on patients suffering from active inflammatory diseases (Kim et al., Progress in Neuro-Psychopharmacology & Biological Psychiatry, 2007, 31, 1044-1053).


[5-(4,6-dimethyl-1H-benzoimidazol-2-yl)-4-methyl-pyrimidin-2-yl]-[3-(1-methyl-piperidin-4-yl)-propyl]-amine (U.S. Pat. No. 7,507,737, Example 2) is a potent antagonist of the H4 receptor (H4R) with a Ki of 8.4 nM and greater than 25-fold selectivity over other histamine receptors in vitro. It inhibited histamine-induced shape change of eosinophils, chemotaxis of mast cells, and IL-6 production in mast cells. In vivo, [5-(4,6-dimethyl-1H-benzoimidazol-2-yl)-4-methyl-pyrimidin-2-yl]-[3-(1-methyl-piperidin-4-yl)-propyl]-amine reduced inflammation in mouse models of asthma, arthritis and dermatitis. The compound also inhibited lipopolysaccharide (LPS)-induced tumor necrosis factor alpha (TNF-α) production and other cytokines in vivo.


Based on this the evidence and the effects of H4R antagonism it is proposed that [5-(4,6-dimethyl-1H-benzoimidazol-2-yl)-4-methyl-pyrimidin-2-yl]-[3-(1-methyl-piperidin-4-yl)-propyl]-amine and its chemically related family of compounds has antidepressant and/or anxiolytic properties suitable for the treatment of mood disorders (including but not limited to Major Depressive Disorder, Bipolar Disorder, Treatment Resistant Major Depressive Disorder and Treatment Resistant Bipolar Disorder), anxiety disorders, (including but not limited to Generalized Anxiety Disorder, Social Phobia, and post traumatic stress disorder). It is envisaged that H4 antagonists will share such properties suitable for the treatment of such disorders.


Adiposity-associated inflammation and insulin resistance are associated with the development of type II diabetes, fatty liver and atherosclerosis. Macrophages are recruited into adipose tissue and atherosclerotic plaques, and are activated to release inflammatory cytokines and chemokines. High fat diets associated with the development of these conditions may lead to increased gut permeability and dyslipidemia. Consequent toll-ligand receptor, 2 and 4 (TLR2, TLR4) activation of adipocytes and macrophages by bacteria and by high levels of free fatty acids leads to an inflammatory phenotype and insulin resistance. Specifically, insulin signaling pathways may be attenuated by cytokines such as TNFa and IL-6 and activation of kinases including c-jun kinase, NKkB or PKCθ, downstream of TLR2/4 stimulation. Effects on insulin receptor signaling are potentiated by increased infiltration of monocyte/macrophages into the tissue by release of chemokines such as MCP-1.


H4R is a high affinity receptor for histamine expressed on monocyte/macrophage populations and other hematopoietic cells. Antagonism of the H4R has been shown to reduce TLR4 signaling in vitro and to reduce TLR2 and TLR4 mediated inflammatory cytokine production in vitro and in vivo. Levels of pro-inflammatory mediators including TNF-α, IL-6 and LTB4 have been variously shown to be inhibited by H4R antagonism in TLR dependent systems. Data obtained in the context of this invention support the claim that H4R antagonists have beneficial properties towards the treatment of type 2 diabetes and related metabolic disorders through inflammation reduction.


Histamine H4 receptor antagonists have anti-inflammatory and anti-pruritic activity in animal models when given systemically. This invention also relates to the use of topical formulations of H4 receptor antagonists for the topical treatment of dermal inflammation and pruritus. The use of topical therapies for skin conditions such as urticaria and atopic dermatitis may be preferred over systemic administration due to improved safety profiles. The topical application of an H4 receptor antagonist, (5-chloro-1H-indol-2-yl)-(4-methyl-piperazin-1-yl)-methanone (U.S. Pat. No. 6,803,362, Example 1) was tested in the context of this invention in a mouse model of pruritus. The results support the claim that topical treatment with H4 receptor antagonists have beneficial properties towards topical anti-pruritic treatment, and it is envisaged that they also have such properties regarding topical anti-inflammatory treatment. Topical formulation of such antagonists may have utility in both human and veterinary health.

Those skilled in the art will recognize that the species of heteroaryl, cycloalkyl, and heterocycloalkyl groups listed or illustrated above are not exhaustive, and that additional species within the scope of these defined terms may also be selected.


The term “halogen” represents chlorine, fluorine, bromine, or iodine. The term “halo” represents chloro, fluoro, bromo, or iodo.


The term “substituted” means that the specified group or moiety bears one or more substituents. The term “unsubstituted” means that the specified group bears no substituents. The term “optionally substituted” means that the specified group is unsubstituted or substituted by one or more substituents. Where the term “substituted” is used to describe a structural system, the substitution is meant to occur at any valency-allowed position on the system.


Any formula given herein is intended to represent compounds having structures depicted by the structural formula as well as certain variations or forms. In particular, compounds of any formula given herein may have asymmetric centers and therefore exist in different enantiomeric forms. All optical isomers and stereoisomers of the compounds of the general formula, and mixtures thereof, are considered within the scope of the formula. Thus, any formula given herein is intended to represent a racemate, one or more enantiomeric forms, one or more diastereomeric forms, one or more atropisomeric forms, and mixtures thereof. Furthermore, certain structures may exist as geometric isomers (i.e., cis and trans isomers), as tautomers, or as atropisomers. Additionally, any formula given herein is intended to refer also to any one of hydrates, solvates, and polymorphs of such compounds, and mixtures thereof, even if such forms are not listed explicitly. In some embodiments, the solvent is water and the solvates are hydrates.


To provide a more concise description, some of the quantitative expressions given herein are not qualified with the term “about”. It is understood that, whether the term “about” is used explicitly or not, every quantity given herein is meant to refer to the actual given value, and it is also meant to refer to the approximation to such given value that would reasonably be inferred based on the ordinary skill in the art, including equivalents and approximations due to the experimental and/or measurement conditions for such given value. Whenever a yield is given as a percentage, such yield refers to a mass of the entity for which the yield is given with respect to the maximum amount of the same entity that could be obtained under the particular stoichiometric conditions. Concentrations that are given as percentages refer to mass ratios, unless indicated differently.


Reference to a chemical entity herein stands for a reference to any one of: (a) the actually recited form of such chemical entity, and (b) any of the forms of such chemical entity in the medium in which the compound is being considered when named. For example, reference herein to a compound such as R—COOH, encompasses reference to any one of, for example, R—COOH(s), R—COOH(sol), and R—COO(sol). In this example, R—COOH(s) refers to the solid compound, as it could be for example in a tablet or some other solid pharmaceutical composition or preparation; R—COOHsol) refers to the undissociated form of the compound in a solvent; and R—COO(sol) refers to the dissociated form of the compound in a solvent, such as the dissociated form of the compound in an aqueous environment, whether such dissociated form derives from R—COOH, from a salt thereof, or from any other entity that yields R—COO upon dissociation in the medium being considered. In another example, an expression such as “exposing an entity to compound of formula R—COOH” refers to the exposure of such entity to the form, or forms, of the compound R—COOH that exists, or exist, in the medium in which such exposure takes place. In this regard, if such entity is for example in an aqueous environment, it is understood that the compound R—COOH is in such same medium, and therefore the entity is being exposed to species such as R—COOH(aq) and/or R—COO(aq), where the subscript “(aq)” stands for “aqueous” according to its conventional meaning in chemistry and biochemistry. A carboxylic acid functional group has been chosen in these nomenclature examples; this choice is not intended, however, as a limitation but it is merely an illustration. It is understood that analogous examples can be provided in terms of other functional groups, including but not limited to hydroxyl, basic nitrogen members, such as those in amines, and any other group that interacts or transforms according to known manners in the medium that contains the compound. Such interactions and transformations include, but are not limited to, dissociation, association, tautomerism, solvolysis, including hydrolysis, solvation, including hydration, protonation, and deprotonation. No further examples in this regard are provided herein because these interactions and transformations in a given medium are known by any one of ordinary skill in the art.


Any formula given herein is also intended to represent unlabeled forms as well as isotopically labeled forms of the compounds. Isotopically labeled compounds have structures depicted by the formulas given herein except that one or more atoms are replaced by an atom having a selected atomic mass or mass number. Examples of isotopes that can be incorporated into compounds of the invention include isotopes of hydrogen, carbon, nitrogen, oxygen, phosphorous, fluorine, chlorine, and iodine, such as 2H, 3H, 11C, 13C, 14C, 15N, 18O, 17O, 31 P, 35S, 18F, 36Cl, and 125I, respectively. Such isotopically labelled compounds are useful in metabolic studies (preferably with 14C), reaction kinetic studies (with, for example 2H or 3H), detection or imaging techniques [such as positron emission tomography (PET) or single-photon emission computed tomography (SPECT)] including drug or substrate tissue distribution assays, or in radioactive treatment of patients. In particular, an 18F or 11C labeled compound may be particularly preferred for PET or SPECT studies. Further, substitution with heavier isotopes such as deuterium (i.e., 2H) may afford certain therapeutic advantages resulting from greater metabolic stability, for example increased in vivo half-life or reduced dosage requirements. Isotopically labeled compounds of this invention and prodrugs thereof can generally be prepared by carrying out the procedures disclosed in the schemes or in the examples and preparations described below by substituting a readily available isotopically labeled reagent for a non-isotopically labeled reagent.


When referring to any formula given herein, the selection of a particular moiety from a list of possible species for a specified variable is not intended to define the same choice of the species for the variable appearing elsewhere. In other words, where a variable appears more than once, the choice of the species from a specified list is independent of the choice of the species for the same variable elsewhere in the formula, unless stated otherwise.


By way of a first example on substituent terminology, if substituent S1example is one or S1 and S2, and substituent S2example is one of S3 and S4, then these assignments refer to embodiments of this invention given according to the choices S1example is S1 and S2 example is S3; S1example is S1 and S2example S4; S1example is S2 and S2example is S3; S1example is S2 and S2example is S4; and equivalents of each one of such choices. The shorter terminology “S1example is one of S1 and S2, and S2example is one of S3 and S4” is accordingly used herein for the sake of brevity, but not by way of limitation. The foregoing first example on substituent terminology, which is stated in generic terms, is meant to illustrate the various substituent assignments described herein. The foregoing convention given herein for substituents extends, when applicable, to members such as R1-4, Ra-c, and Z, and any other generic substituent symbol used herein.


Furthermore, when more than one assignment is given for any member or substituent, embodiments of this invention comprise the various groupings that can be made from the listed assignments, taken independently, and equivalents thereof. By way of a second example on substituent terminology, if it is herein described that substituent Sexample is one of S1, S2, and S3, this listing refers to embodiments of this invention for which Sexample is S1; Sexample is S2; Sexample is S3; Sexample is one of S1 and S2; Sexample is one of S1 and S3; Sexample is one of S2 and S3; Sexample is one of S1, S2 and S3; and Sexample is any equivalent of each one of these choices. The shorter terminology “Sexample is one of S1, S2, and S3” is accordingly used herein for the sake of brevity, but not by way of limitation. The foregoing second example on substituent terminology, which is stated in generic terms, is meant to illustrate the various substituent assignments described herein. The foregoing convention given herein for substituents extends, when applicable, to members such as R1-4, Ra-c, and Z, and any other generic substituent symbol used herein.


The nomenclature “Ci-j” with j>i, when applied herein to a class of substituents, is meant to refer to embodiments of this invention for which each and every one of the number of carbon members, from i to j including i and j, is independently realized. By way of example, the term C1-3 refers independently to embodiments that have one carbon member (C1), embodiments that have two carbon members (C2), and embodiments that have three carbon members (C3).


The term Cn-malkyl refers to an aliphatic chain, whether straight or branched, with a total number N of carbon members in the chain that satisfies n≦N≦m, with m>n.


Any disubstituent referred to herein is meant to encompass the various attachment possibilities when more than one of such possibilities are allowed. For example, reference to disubstituent—A-B—, where A≠B, refers herein to such disubstituent with A attached to a first substituted member and B attached to a second substituted member, and it also refers to such disubstituent with A attached to the second substituted member and B attached to the first substituted member.


According to the foregoing interpretive considerations on assignments and nomenclature, it is understood that explicit reference herein to a set implies, where chemically meaningful and unless indicated otherwise, independent reference to embodiments of such set, and reference to each and every one of the possible embodiments of subsets of the set referred to explicitly.

The invention includes also pharmaceutically acceptable salts of the compounds represented by Formula (I), preferably of those described above and of the specific compounds exemplified herein, and methods using such salts.


A “pharmaceutically acceptable salt” is intended to mean a salt of a free acid or base of a compound represented by Formula (I) that is non-toxic, biologically tolerable, or otherwise biologically suitable for administration to the subject. See, generally, G. S. Paulekuhn, et al., “Trends in Active Pharmaceutical Ingredient Salt Selection based on Analysis of the Orange Book Database”, J. Med. Chem., 2007, 50:6665-72, S. M. Berge, et al., “Pharmaceutical Salts”, J Pharm Sci., 1977, 66:1-19, and Handbook of Pharmaceutical Salts, Properties, Selection, and Use, Stahl and Wermuth, Eds., Wiley-VCH and VHCA, Zurich, 2002. Examples of pharmaceutically acceptable salts are those that are pharmacologically effective and suitable for contact with the tissues of patients without undue toxicity, irritation, or allergic response. A compound of Formula (I) may possess a sufficiently acidic group, a sufficiently basic group, or both types of functional groups, and accordingly react with a number of inorganic or organic bases, and inorganic and organic acids, to form a pharmaceutically acceptable salt. Examples of pharmaceutically acceptable salts include sulfates, pyrosulfates, bisulfates, sulfites, bisulfites, phosphates, monohydrogen-phosphates, dihydrogenphosphates, metaphosphates, pyrophosphates, chlorides, bromides, iodides, acetates, propionates, decanoates, caprylates, acrylates, formates, isobutyrates, caproates, heptanoates, propiolates, oxalates, malonates, succinates, suberates, sebacates, fumarates, maleates, butyne-1,4-dioates, hexyne-1,6-dioates, benzoates, chlorobenzoates, methylbenzoates, dinitrobenzoates, hydroxybenzoates, methoxybenzoates, phthalates, sulfonates, xylenesulfonates, phenylacetates, phenylpropionates, phenylbutyrates, citrates, lactates, γ-hydroxybutyrates, glycolates, tartrates, methane-sulfonates, propanesulfonates, naphthalene-1-sulfonates, naphthalene-2-sulfonates, and mandelates.


If the compound of Formula (I) contains a basic nitrogen, the desired pharmaceutically acceptable salt may be prepared by any suitable method available in the art, for example, treatment of the free base with an inorganic acid, such as hydrochloric acid, hydrobromic acid, sulfuric acid, sulfamic acid, nitric acid, boric acid, phosphoric acid, and the like, or with an organic acid, such as acetic acid, phenylacetic acid, propionic acid, stearic acid, lactic acid, ascorbic acid, maleic acid, hydroxymaleic acid, isethionic acid, succinic acid, valeric acid, fumeric acid, malonic acid, pyruvic acid, oxalic acid, glycolic acid, salicylic acid, oleic acid, palmitic acid, lauric acid, a pyranosidyl acid, such as glucuronic acid or galacturonic acid, an alpha-hydroxy acid, such as mandelic acid, citric acid, or tartaric acid, an amino acid, such as aspartic acid, glutaric acid or glutamic acid, an aromatic acid, such as benzoic acid, 2-acetoxybenzoic acid, naphthoic acid, or cinnamic acid, a sulfonic acid, such as laurylsulfonic acid, p-toluenesulfonic acid, methanesulfonic acid, ethanesulfonic acid, any compatible mixture of acids such as those given as examples herein, and any other acid and mixture thereof that are regarded as equivalents or acceptable substitutes in light of the ordinary level of skill in this technology.


Where the compound of Formula (I) contains a plurality of basic nitrogens, one skilled in the art will recognize that suitable salts include salts formed with one or more equivalents of an inorganic or organic acid. In preferred embodiments of Formula (I), such salts include bis hydrochloride salts.


If the compound of Formula (I) is an acid, such as a carboxylic acid or sulfonic acid, the desired pharmaceutically acceptable salt may be prepared by any suitable method, for example, treatment of the free acid with an inorganic or organic base, such as an amine (primary, secondary or tertiary), an alkali metal hydroxide, alkaline earth metal hydroxide, any compatible mixture of bases such as those given as examples herein, and any other base and mixture thereof that are regarded as equivalents or acceptable substitutes in light of the ordinary level of skill in this technology. Illustrative examples of suitable salts include organic salts derived from amino acids, such as N-methyl-D-glucamine, lysine, choline, glycine and arginine, ammonia, carbonates, bicarbonates, primary, secondary, and tertiary amines, and cyclic amines, such as tromethamine, benzylamines, pyrrolidines, piperidine, morpholine, and piperazine, and inorganic salts derived from sodium, calcium, potassium, magnesium, manganese, iron, copper, zinc, aluminum, and lithium.


The invention also relates to pharmaceutically acceptable prodrugs of the compounds of Formula (I), and treatment methods employing such pharmaceutically acceptable prodrugs. The term “prodrug” means a precursor of a designated compound that, following administration to a subject, yields the compound in vivo via a chemical or physiological process such as solvolysis or enzymatic cleavage, or under physiological conditions (e.g., a prodrug on being brought to physiological pH is converted to the compound of Formula (I)). A “pharmaceutically acceptable prodrug” is a prodrug that is non-toxic, biologically tolerable, and otherwise biologically suitable for administration to the subject. Illustrative procedures for the selection and preparation of suitable prodrug derivatives are described, for example, in “Design of Prodrugs”, ed. H. Bundgaard, Elsevier, 1985.


Examples of prodrugs include compounds having an amino acid residue, or a polypeptide chain of two or more (e.g., two, three or four) amino acid residues, covalently joined through an amide or ester bond to a free amino, hydroxy, or carboxylic acid group of a compound of Formula (I). Examples of amino acid residues include the twenty naturally occurring amino acids, commonly designated by three letter symbols, as well as 4-hydroxyproline, hydroxylysine, demosine, isodemosine, 3-methylhistidine, norvalin, beta-alanine, gamma-aminobutyric acid, citrulline homocysteine, homoserine, ornithine and methionine sulfone.


Additional types of prodrugs may be produced, for instance, by derivatizing free carboxyl groups of structures of Formula (I) as amides or alkyl esters. Examples of amides include those derived from ammonia, primary C1-6alkyl amines and secondary di(C1-6alkyl) amines. Secondary amines include 5- or 6-membered heterocycloalkyl or heteroaryl ring moieties. Examples of amides include those that are derived from ammonia, C1-3alkyl primary amines, and di(C1-2alkyl)amines. Examples of esters of the invention include C1-7alkyl, C5-7cycloalkyl, phenyl, and phenyl(C1-6alkyl) esters. Preferred esters include methyl esters. Prodrugs may also be prepared by derivatizing free hydroxy groups using groups including hemisuccinates, phosphate esters, dimethylaminoacetates, and phosphoryloxymethyloxycarbonyls, following procedures such as those outlined in Fleisher et al., Adv. Drug Delivery Rev. 1996, 19, 115-130. Carbamate derivatives of hydroxy and amino groups may also yield prodrugs. Carbonate derivatives, sulfonate esters, and sulfate esters of hydroxy groups may also provide prodrugs. Derivatization of hydroxy groups as (acyloxy)methyl and (acyloxy)ethyl ethers, wherein the acyl group may be an alkyl ester, optionally substituted with one or more ether, amine, or carboxylic acid functionalities, or where the acyl group is an amino acid ester as described above, is also useful to yield prodrugs. Prodrugs of this type may be prepared as described in Robinson et al., J. Med. Chem. 1996, 39, 10-18. Free amines can also be derivatized as amides, sulfonamides or phosphonamides. All of these prodrug moieties may incorporate groups including ether, amine, and carboxylic acid functionalities.


The present invention also relates to pharmaceutically active metabolites of compounds of Formula (I), and uses of such metabolites in the methods of the invention. A “pharmaceutically active metabolite” means a pharmacologically active product of metabolism in the body of a compound of Formula (I) or salt thereof. Prodrugs and active metabolites of a compound may be determined using routine techniques known or available in the art. See, e.g., Bertolini et al., J. Med. Chem. 1997, 40, 2011-2016: Shan et al., J. Pharm. Sci. 1997, 86 (7), 765-767; Bagshawe, Drug Dev. Res. 1995, 34, 220-230; Bodor. Adv. Drug Res. 1984, 13, 255-331; Bundgaard, Design of Prodrugs (Elsevier Press, 1985); and Larsen, Design and Application of Prodrugs, Drug Design and Development (Krogsgaard-Larsen et al., eds., Harwood Academic Publishers, 1991).


The compounds of Formula (I) and their pharmaceutically acceptable salts, pharmaceutically acceptable prodrugs, and pharmaceutically active metabolites, whether alone or in combination, (collectively, “active agents”) of the present invention are useful as histamine H4 receptor modulators in the methods of the invention. Such methods for modulating histamine H4 receptor activity comprise exposing histamine H4 receptor to an effective amount of at least one chemical entity selected from compounds of Formula (I), pharmaceutically acceptable salts of compounds of Formula (I), pharmaceutically acceptable prodrugs of compounds of Formula (I), and pharmaceutically active metabolites of compounds of Formula (I). Embodiments of this invention inhibit histamine H4receptor activity.


In some embodiments, the histamine H4 receptor is in a subject diagnosed with or suffering from a disease, disorder, or medical condition mediated through histamine H4 receptor activity, such as those described herein. Symptoms or disease states are intended to be included within the scope of “medical conditions, disorders, or diseases.”


Accordingly, the invention relates to methods of using the active agents described herein to treat subjects diagnosed with or suffering from a disease, disorder, or condition mediated through histamine H4 receptor activity, such as inflammation. Active agents according to the invention may therefore be used as anti-inflammatory agents. Active agents according to the invention may also be used for the treatment of pain.


In some embodiments, an active agent of the present invention is administered to treat inflammation. Inflammation may be associated with various diseases, disorders, or conditions, such as inflammatory disorders, allergic disorders, dermatological disorders, autoimmune disease, lymphatic disorders, and immunodeficiency disorders, including the more specific conditions and diseases given below. Regarding the onset and evolution of inflammation, inflammatory diseases or inflammation-mediated diseases or conditions include, but are not limited to, acute inflammation, allergic inflammation, and chronic inflammation.


Treatment of inflammation according to this invention includes topical treatments. For example, topical treatments of conditions such as pruritus, urticaria, and atopic dermatitis.


Illustrative types of inflammation treatable with a histamine H4 receptor-modulating agent according to the invention include inflammation due to any one of a plurality of conditions such as allergy, asthma, dry eye, chronic obstructed pulmonary disease (COPD), atherosclerosis, rheumatoid arthritis (see: Ohki, E. et al. Biol. Pharm. Bull. 2007, 30(11), 2217-2220), multiple sclerosis, inflammatory bowel diseases (including colitis, Crohn's disease, and ulcerative colitis), psoriasis, pruritis, itchy skin, atopic dermatitis, urticaria (hives), ocular inflammation (e.g., post-surgical ocular inflammation), conjunctivitis, dry eye, nasal polyps, allergic rhinitis, nasal itch, scleroderma, autoimmune thyroid diseases, post-operative adhesion (See: U.S. Pat. Appl. Publ. 2007/0185163), and immune-mediated (also known as type 1) diabetes mellitus and lupus, which are characterized by excessive or prolonged inflammation at some stage of the disease. Treatment of metabolic disorders, such as type 2 diabetes, is also envisaged within the scope of this invention. Treatment of other metabolic disorders envisaged within the scope of this invention include chronic renal failure, hepatic cholestasis, and diabetes mellitus.


Other autoimmune diseases that lead to inflammation include Myasthenia gravis, autoimmune neuropathies, such as Guillain-Barré, autoimmune uveitis, autoimmune hemolytic anemia, pernicious anemia, autoimmune thrombocytopenia, temporal arteritis, anti-phospholipid syndrome, vasculitides, such as Wegener's granulomatosis, Behcet's disease, dermatitis herpetiformis, pemphigus vulgaris, vitiligio, primary biliary cirrhosis, autoimmune hepatitis, autoimmune oophoritis and orchitis, autoimmune disease of the adrenal gland, polymyositis, dermatomyositis, spondyloarthropathies, such as ankylosing spondylitis, and Sjogren's syndrome.


Pruritis treatable with a histamine H4 receptor-modulating agent according to the invention includes that which is a symptom of allergic cutaneous diseases (such as atopic dermatitis and hives).


Treatment of mood and anxiety disorders is also envisaged within the scope of this invention. Examples of such mood disorders include major depression disorder, bipolar disorder, treatment-resistant major depression disorder, and treatment-resistant bipolar disorder. Examples of such anxiety disorders include generalized anxiety disorder, social phobia, and post traumatic stress disorder.


In other embodiments, an active agent of the present invention is administered to treat allergy, rheumatoid arthritis, asthma, autoimmune diseases, or pruritis.


Thus, the active agents may be used to treat subjects diagnosed with or suffering from a disease, disorder, or condition mediated through histamine H4 receptor activity. The term “treat” or “treating” as used herein is intended to refer to administration of an active agent or composition of the invention to a subject for the purpose of effecting a therapeutic or prophylactic benefit through modulation of histamine H4 receptor activity. Treating includes reversing, ameliorating, alleviating, inhibiting the progress of, lessening the severity of, or preventing a disease, disorder, or condition, or one or more symptoms of such disease, disorder or condition mediated through modulation of histamine H4 receptor activity. The term “subject” refers to a mammalian patient in need of such treatment, such as a human. Some embodiments of this invention are envisaged for veterinary use. “Modulators” include both inhibitors and activators, where “inhibitors” refer to compounds that decrease, prevent, inactivate, desensitize or down-regulate histamine H4 receptor expression or activity, and “activators” are compounds that increase, activate, facilitate, sensitize, or up-regulate histamine H4 receptor expression or activity.


In treatment methods according to the invention, an effective amount of at least one active agent according to the invention is administered to a subject suffering from or diagnosed as having such a disease, disorder, or condition. An “effective amount” means an amount or dose sufficient to generally bring about the desired therapeutic or prophylactic benefit in patients in need of such treatment for the designated disease, disorder, or condition. Effective amounts or doses of the active agents of the present invention may be ascertained by routine methods such as modeling, dose escalation studies or clinical trials, and by taking into consideration routine factors, e.g., the mode or route of administration or drug delivery, the pharmacokinetics of the agent, the severity and course of the disease, disorder, or condition, the subject's previous or ongoing therapy, the subject's health status and response to drugs, and the judgment of the treating physician. An exemplary dose is in the range of from about 0.001 to about 200 mg of active agent per kg of subject's body weight per day, preferably about 0.05 to 100 mg/kg/day, or about 1 to 35 mg/kg/day, or about 0.1 to 10 mg/kg daily in single or divided dosage units (e.g., BID, TID, QID), For a 70-kg human, an illustrative range for a suitable dosage amount is from about 1 to 200 mg/day, or about 5 to 50 mg/day.


Once improvement of the patient's disease, disorder, or condition has occurred, the dose may be adjusted for preventative or maintenance treatment. For example, the dosage or the frequency of administration, or both, may be reduced as a function of the symptoms, to a level at which the desired therapeutic or prophylactic effect is maintained. Of course, if symptoms have been alleviated to an appropriate level, treatment may cease. Patients may, however, require intermittent treatment on a long-term basis upon any recurrence of symptoms.


In addition, the active agents of the invention may be used in combination with additional active ingredients in the treatment of the above conditions. The additional active ingredients may be coadministered separately with an active agent of Formula (I) or included with such an agent in a pharmaceutical composition according to the invention. In an exemplary embodiment, additional active ingredients are those that are known or discovered to be effective in the treatment of conditions, disorders, or diseases mediated by histamine H4 receptor activity, such as another histamine H4 receptor modulator or a compound active against another target associated with the particular condition, disorder, or disease. The combination may serve to increase efficacy (e.g., by including in the combination a compound potentiating the potency or effectiveness of an agent according to the invention), decrease one or more side effects, or decrease the required dose of the active agent according to the invention.


When referring to modulating the target receptor, an “effective amount” means an amount sufficient to affect the activity of such receptor. Measuring the activity of the target receptor may be performed by routine analytical methods. Target receptor modulation is useful in a variety of settings, including assays.


The active agents of the invention are used, alone or in combination with one or more additional active ingredients, to formulate pharmaceutical compositions of the invention. A pharmaceutical composition of the invention comprises: (a) an effective amount of at least one active agent in accordance with the invention; and optionally (b) a pharmaceutically acceptable excipient.


A “pharmaceutically acceptable excipient” refers to a substance that is non-toxic, biologically tolerable, and otherwise biologically suitable for administration to a subject, such as an inert substance, added to a pharmacological composition or otherwise used as a vehicle, carrier, or diluent to facilitate administration of a agent and that is compatible therewith. Examples of excipients include calcium carbonate, calcium phosphate, various sugars and types of starch, cellulose derivatives, gelatin, vegetable oils, and polyethylene glycols.


Delivery forms of the pharmaceutical compositions containing one or more dosage units of the active agents may be prepared using suitable pharmaceutical excipients and compounding techniques known or that become available to those skilled in the art. The compositions may be administered in the inventive methods by a suitable route of delivery, e.g., oral, parenteral, rectal, topical, or ocular routes, or by inhalation.


The preparation may be in the form of tablets, capsules, sachets, dragees, powders, granules, lozenges, powders for reconstitution, liquid preparations, or suppositories. Preferably, the compositions are formulated for intravenous infusion, topical administration, or oral administration.


For oral administration, the active agents of the invention can be provided in the form of tablets or capsules, or as a solution, emulsion, or suspension. To prepare the oral compositions, the active agents may be formulated to yield a dosage of, e.g., from about 0.05 to about 50 mg/kg daily, or from about 0.05 to about 20 mg/kg daily, or from about 0.1 to about 10 mg/kg daily.


Oral tablets may include the active ingredient(s) mixed with compatible pharmaceutically acceptable excipients such as diluents, disintegrating agents, binding agents, lubricating agents, sweetening agents, flavoring agents, coloring agents and preservative agents. Suitable inert fillers include sodium and calcium carbonate, sodium and calcium phosphate, lactose, starch, sugar, glucose, methyl cellulose, magnesium stearate, mannitol, sorbitol, and the like. Exemplary liquid oral excipients include ethanol, glycerol, water, and the like. Starch, polyvinyl-pyrrolidone (PVP), sodium starch glycolate, microcrystalline cellulose, and alginic acid are exemplary disintegrating agents. Binding agents may include starch and gelatin. The lubricating agent, if present, may be magnesium stearate, stearic acid or talc. If desired, the tablets may be coated with a material such as glyceryl monostearate or glyceryl distearate to delay absorption in the gastrointestinal tract, or may be coated with an enteric coating.


Capsules for oral administration include hard and soft gelatin capsules. To prepare hard gelatin capsules, active ingredient(s) may be mixed with a solid, semi-solid, or liquid diluent. Soft gelatin capsules may be prepared by mixing the active ingredient with water, an oil such as peanut oil or olive oil, liquid paraffin, a mixture of mono and di-glycerides of short chain fatty acids, polyethylene glycol 400, or propylene glycol.


Liquids for oral administration may be in the form of suspensions, solutions, emulsions or syrups or may be lyophilized or presented as a dry product for reconstitution with water or other suitable vehicle before use. Such liquid compositions may optionally contain: pharmaceutically-acceptable excipients such as suspending agents (for example, sorbitol, methyl cellulose, sodium alginate, gelatin, hydroxyethylcellulose, carboxymethylcellulose, aluminum stearate gel and the like); non-aqueous vehicles, e.g., oil (for example, almond oil or fractionated coconut oil), propylene glycol, ethyl alcohol, or water; preservatives (for example, methyl or propyl p-hydroxybenzoate or sorbic acid); wetting agents such as lecithin; and, if desired, flavoring or coloring agents.


The active agents of this invention may also be administered by non-oral routes. For example, compositions may be formulated for rectal administration as a suppository. For parenteral use, including intravenous, intramuscular, intraperitoneal, or subcutaneous routes, the agents of the invention may be provided in sterile aqueous solutions or suspensions, buffered to an appropriate pH and isotonicity or in parenterally acceptable oil. Suitable aqueous vehicles include Ringer's solution and isotonic sodium chloride. Such forms may be presented in unit-dose form such as ampules or disposable injection devices. In multi-dose forms such as vials from which the appropriate dose may be withdrawn, or in a solid form or pre-concentrate that can be used to prepare an injectable formulation. Illustrative infusion doses range from about 1 to 1000 μg/kg/minute of agent admixed with a pharmaceutical carrier over a period ranging from several minutes to several days.


For topical administration, the agents may be mixed with a pharmaceutical carrier at a concentration of about 0.1% to about 10% of drug to vehicle. Another mode of administering the agents of the invention may utilize a patch formulation to affect transdermal delivery.


Active agents may alternatively be administered in methods of this invention by inhalation, via the nasal or oral routes, e.g., in a spray formulation also containing a suitable carrier.

Artisans will recognize that, to obtain the various compounds herein, starting materials may be suitably selected so that the ultimately desired substituents will be carried through the reaction scheme with or without protection as appropriate to yield the desired product. Alternatively, it may be necessary or desirable to employ, in the place of the ultimately desired substituent, a suitable group that may be carried through the reaction scheme and replaced as appropriate with the desired substituent. Each of the reactions depicted in Scheme A is preferably run at a temperature from about room temperature to the reflux temperature of the organic solvent used. Unless otherwise specified, the variables are as defined above in reference to Formula (I).

In the above Schemes, where the diamine HNR3R4 (XIII) contains a nitrogen protecting group (PG), such as a tert-butoxycarbonyl (Boc) group or benzyl group, in place of the Ra or Rc substituent, the protecting group is removed by deprotection conditions known to one skilled in the art, to provide compounds where Ra or Rc is H. For example, a tert-butoxycarbonyl group is removed using an organic acid such as TFA (neat or in a solvent such as CH2Cl2) or an inorganic acid such as HCl (in a solvent such as 1,4-dioxane, ether, methanol, isopropanol, or formic acid, or a mixture thereof). Reductive amination or alkylation procedures may be used to convert compounds where Rc is H to compounds where Rc is C1-3alkyl.


Compounds of Formula (I) may be converted to their corresponding salts using methods described in the art. For example, an amine of Formula (I) is treated with trifluoroacetic acid, HCl, or citric acid in a solvent such as Et2O, CH2Cl2, THF, MeOH, chloroform, or isopropanol to provide the corresponding salt form. Alternately, trifluoroacetic acid or formic acid salts are obtained as a result of reverse phase HPLC purification conditions. Crystalline forms of pharmaceutically acceptable salts of compounds of Formula (I) may be obtained in crystalline form by recrystallization from polar solvents (including mixtures of polar solvents and aqueous mixtures of polar solvents) or from non-polar solvents (including mixtures of non-polar solvents).


Compounds prepared according to the schemes described above may be obtained as single enantiomers, diastereomers, or regioisomers, by enantio-, diastero-, or regiospecific synthesis, or by resolution. Compounds prepared according to the schemes above may alternately be obtained as racemic (1:1) or non-racemic (not 1:1) mixtures or as mixtures of diastereomers or regioisomers. Where racemic and non-racemic mixtures of enantiomers are obtained, single enantiomers may be isolated using conventional separation methods known to one skilled in the art, such as chiral chromatography, recrystallization, diastereomeric salt formation, derivetization into diastereomeric adducts, biotransformation, or enzymatic transformation. Where regioisomeric or diastereomeric mixtures are obtained, single isomers may be separated using conventional methods such as chromatography or crystallization.

Method A:


The titled compound was prepared using methods analogous to those described for Example 23, MS (ESI): mass calcd. for C13H23N5, 249.4 m/z found, 250.2 [+H]+. 1H NMR (CDCl3): 7.92-7.86 (m, 1H), 5.86-5.83 (m, 1H), 4.97-4.84 (m, 1H), 3.63-3.55 (m, 4H), 3.53-3.47 (m, 4H), 3.24-3.19 (m, 2H), 1.51-1.47 (m, 9H).


Method B:


t-butyl 4-(2-chloropyrimidin-4-yl)piperazine-1-carboxylate.


To a mixture of 2,4-dichloropyrimidine (20 g, 0.135 mol, 1 eq.) and DIPEA (26 g, 0.203 mol, 1.5 eq) in i-PrOH (400 mL) was added tert-butyl piperazine-1-carboxylate (27 g, 0.148 mol, 1.1 eq) by portions at 0° C., and the resulting reaction was stirred overnight (about 15 hrs) at 10° C. A lot of white solid precipitated and TLC showed that there was still a little 2,4-dichloropyrimidine. The solid was filtered and recrystallized from DCM to afford the title product (18 g, 45% yield) as a white solid. 1H NMR (300 MHz, CDCl3): 8.08 (d, J=6.2 Hz, 1H), 6.41 (d, J=6.2 Hz, 1H), 3.67 (s, 4H), 3.56-3.41 (m, 4H), 1.48 (s, 9H). t-butyl 4-(2-(neopentylamino)pyrimidin-4-yl)piperazine-1-carboxylate. A solution of tert-butyl 4-(2-chloropyrimidin-4-yl)piperazine-1-carboxylate (300 mg, 1 mmol) 2,2-dimethylpropan-1-amine (131 mg, 1.5 mmol) and DIPEA (259 mg, 2 mmol) in pentan-1-ol (15 mL) was stirred at reflux for 18 hrs. The solvent was removed under reduced pressure and the residue was purified by column chromatography (100% ethyl acetate) to afford the desired product.



1H NMR (300 MHz, CDCl3): 7.88 (d, J=5.7 Hz, 1H), 5.84 (d, J=6.3 Hz, 1H), 4.97 (br s, 1H), 3.58 (m, 4H), 3.50 (m, 4H), 3.21 (d, J=6.3 Hz, 2H), 1.48 (s, 9H), 0.98 (s, 9H).


N-neopentyl-4-(piperazin-1-yl)pyrimidin-2-amine dihydrochloride.


t-butyl 4-(2-(neopentylamino)pyrimidin-4-yl)piperazine-1-carboxylate obtained from the previous stey was dissolved in MeOH (4 mL) and 7N HCl/Et2O solution (20 mL) was added. The resulting solution was stirred at ambient temperature for 18 hrs. The solvent was concentrated to give the desired product as a yellow solid (130 mg, 40% yield in two steps). 1H NMR (300 MHz, CD3OD): 7.84 (d, J=7.2 Hz, 1H), 6.56 (d, J=7.2 Hz, 1H), 4.27 (br s, 2H), 4.02 (br s, 2H), 3.40 (br s, 4H), 3.33 (br s, 2H), 1.01 (s, 9H); LC-MS, m/z=250.2 [M+H]+. tR=0.8 min; HPLC: 99% (214 nm), 98% (254 nm), tR=4.7 min.

Binding Assay on Recombinant Human Histamine H4Receptor


Cell pellets from SK-N-MC cells stably or transiently transfected with human H4 receptor (NCBI accession No. AF312230) were used for the binding assays. Cell pellets were homogenized in 50 mM Tris/5 mM EDTA buffer and supernatants from an 800 g spin were collected and recentrifuged at 30,000 g for 30 min. Pellets were rehomogenized in 50 mM Tris/5 mM EDTA buffer. For competition binding studies, cell membranes were incubated with 2x KD (10 nM),[3H] histamine (Specific activity: 14.2 to 23 Ci/mmol), with or without test compounds for 45 to 60 min at 4 to 25° C. Ki values were calculated based on an experimentally determined appropriate KD values according to Cheng and Prusoff (Biochem. Pharmacol. 1973, 22(23):3099-3108). Membranes were harvested by rapid filtration using the 96 well Brandel system (Table 1, Brandel) or a cell harvester (Table 1, Cell Harvester) using a Whatman GF/C filter or filter plates treated with 0.5% polyethylenimine (PEI), and washed 4 times with ice-cold 50 mM Tris/5 mM EDTA buffer. Filters were then dried, mixed with scintillant and radioactive counts were determined. Results for the compounds tested in these assays are presented in Table 1 as an average of results obtained (NT=not tested, ND=not determined). Compounds were tested in free base, hydrochloride salt, or trifluoroacetic acid form, with no significant differences in activities. Where activity is shown as greater than (>) a particular value, the value is the highest concentration tested.

Cell-Based cAMP Assay


SK-N-MC cell lines were created that express a reporter gene construct and the human H4 receptor full-coding region (NCBI accession No. AF312230). The reporter gene was β-galactosidase under the control of cyclic AMP-responsive elements. Cells were plated in 96-well plates the night before the assay. Histamine was used as the agonist for all assay. For the H4 receptor, the inhibition of forskolin-stimulated cAMP production was measured. For determination of antagonist activity, compounds were added 10 min prior to the addition of agonist, which was added directly to the cell medium. Forskolin (5 μM final concentration) was added 10 min after the addition of histamine. Cells were returned to the incubator for 6 h at 37° C. The medium was then aspirated, and the cells were washed with 200 mL of phosphate-buffered saline (PBS). Cells were lysed with 25 μL of 0.1X assay buffer (10 mM sodium phosphate, pH 8, 0.2 mM MgSO4, and 0.01 mM MnCl2) and incubated at rt for 10 min. Cells were then incubated for 10 min with 100 μL of 1X assay buffer containing 0.5% (v/v) Triton X-100 and 40 mM β-mercaptoethanol. Color was developed using 25 μL of 1 mg/mL substrate solution (chlorophenol red β-D-galactopyranoside; Roche Applied Science, Indianapolis, Ind.). Color was quantitated on a microplate reader by measuring the absorbance at 570 nm. The data from each concentration-response curve were fitted to a sigmoidal curve to obtain the maximum response, Hill coefficient, and EC50 using Prism (GraphPad Software, San Diego, Calif.). Dose ratios were calculated from individual concentration-response curves of agonists at three to five antagonist concentrations. Apparent pA2 values were calculated using a Schild plot (ND=not determined). Results for compounds tested in this assay are presented in Table 2.

Insulin Resistance in Diabetes Induced Obese Mouse Model.


The effect of administration of an H4R antagonist, 5-fluoro-4-methyl-2-{5-methyl-2-[4-(1-methyl-piperidin-4-yl)-butoxy]-pyridin-4-yl}-1H-benzoimidazole (U.S. Pat. No. 7,432,378, Example 165), was tested in the treatment of insulin resistance in the diabetes induced obese (DIO) mouse model. 5-Fluoro-4-methyl-2-{5-methyl-2-[4-(1-methyl-piperidin-4-yl)-butoxy]-pyridin-4-yl}-1H-benzoimidazole (20 mg/kg PO) significantly reduced fed and fasted glucose levels and improved insulin sensitivity as determined by an insulin tolerance test. 5-Fluoro-4-methyl-2-{5-methyl-2-[4-(1-methyl-piperidin-4-yl)-butoxy]-pyridin-4-yl}-1H-benzoimidazole significantly reduced fat content in liver and reduced MCP-1 and TNF-α expression. Our data support the claim that H4R antagonists have beneficial properties towards the treatment of type 2 diabetes and related metabolic diseases.
