The present invention relates to a novel ester or amide derivative, particularly an ester or amide derivative of 4-oxo-1,4-dihydroqunoline-2-carboxylic acid, or a pharmaceutically acceptable salt thereof, and a drug composition containing it as an active ingredient, particularly a preventive or remedy for Helicobacter pylori infectious diseases.
Helicobacter pylori is a pathogenic bacterium discovered in 1983 and is called a background pathogenic factor of peptic ulcers (such as gastric ulcer and duodenal ulcer), inflammations (such as gastritis), diseases of upper digestive tracts such as gastric cancer, MALT (mucosa-associated lymphoid tissue) lymphoma, or chronic heart disease. At present, studies on the therapy of Helicobacter pylori infectious diseases are being actively made. As the therapy, there are many reports for the purposes of bacterial elimination and prevention of recurrence, as described below. For example, there is numerated administration of a single drug of, e.g., bismuth, antibiotic, proton pump inhibitor (PPI), or anti-ulcer agent, or polypharmacy (such as two-drug therapy and three-drug therapy) comprising a combination of the foregoing drugs (see Internal Medicine, Special Issue, Vol. 78 (1), 1996, by Nankodo). However, these therapies still involve many problems to be solved, such as high frequency of administration of the drug(s), necessity of administration of a lager amount of the drug(s) than the regular dose, crisis of diarrhea or constipation by administration of the drug(s), and generation of resistant bacteria.
As an anti-helicobacter pylori agent, EP811613 discloses derivatives of 4-oxo-1,4-dihydroquinoline or naphthyridine in terms of the following general formula. In the general formula, the substituent (R2 group) at the 2-position of the ring is a C1 to C10 alkyl group, a (C1 to C10 alkyl)phenyl group, a C2 to C10 alkenyl group, a (C2 to C10 alkenyl)phenyl group, a C2 to C10 alkynyl group, a (C2 to C10 alkynyl)phenyl group, a phenyl group, a naphthyl group, a furyl group, a thiophenyl group, or a pyridyl group.
Further, JP-A-10-132784 discloses the following. 3-methyl-4-oxo-1,4-dihydroquinone derivative as an anti-helicobacter pylori agent, in which, however, the substituent at the 2-position is a nonenyl group.
However, creation of a compound having a stronger anti-helicobacter pylori action by single and oral administration is being demanded.
On the other hand, as derivatives of a 3-alkyl-4-oxo-1,4-dihydroquinoline-2-carboxylic acid, in DE1913466, Pol. J. Pharmacol. Pharm., 33(5), 539–544, 1981, Indian. J. Pharm., 39(1), 13–15, 1977, J. Indian Chemical Society, 50(3), 217–218, 1973, and J. Indian Chemical Society, 51(11), 967–969, 1974, there are disclosed compounds having an ethoxycarbonyl group or a (substituted or unsubstituted) NH2—NH—CO— group at the 2-position of the quinoline ring. However, any of these compounds are merely a synthesis intermediate or are merely reported that they have an anti-amoeba activity. These documents neither disclose nor suggest their anti-helicobacter pylori activity.
We, the present inventors made extensive and intensive investigations with respect to compounds having an anti-helicobacter pylori activity. As a result, it has been found that novel ester or amide derivatives of 4-oxo-1,4-dihydroquinoline-2-carboxylic acid, which are different in terms of structure from the conventional compounds in the point that on the 1,4-dihydroquinoline ring or 1,4-dihydronaphthyridine ring, not only a substituent at the 2-position is an ester residue or a substituted amide group, but also a substituent at the 3-position is an alkyl group, (1) have a strong and selective anti-bacterial action against Helicobacter pylori, (2) have a strong anti-bacterial action against Helicobacter pylori within digestive tracts by oral administration to mammals, and (3) are useful in the bacterial elimination therapy against patients infected with Helicobacter pylori.

(Production Process)
The compound (I) and its salt of the invention can be produced through application of various known synthesis processes by utilizing the characteristic features based on the basic skeleton thereof or kinds of the substituents.
First Process:
Among the compounds of the invention, an amide derivative (Ia) having a substituted amino group as the substituent at the 2-position of the 1,4-dihydroquinoline ring is produced by reacting a carboxylic acid derivative represented by the general formula (II) with an amine represented by the general formula (III) to form an amide bond.
In the formulae, X1 to X4 and R1 to R7 have the same meanings as defined above.
The reaction is usually carried out in a usual solvent such as acetone, dioxane, tetrahydrofuran, diethyl ether, diisopropyl ether, acetonitrile, chloroform, dichloromethane, 1,2-dichloroethane, ethyl acetate, N,N-dimethylformamide (DMF), toluene, and pyridine, or a mixture thereof. The reaction may also be carried out in other arbitrary organic solvent so far as it does not adversely affect the reaction. Although the reaction temperature and reaction time are not particularly limited, the reaction is usually carried out at room temperature overnight. The reaction can be carried out in the presence of a catalyst such as 1-hydroxybenzotriazole (HOBt) and 4-dimethylaminopyridine (DMAP), and/or a condensing agent such as dicyclohexylcarbodiimide (DCC), 1-[3-(dimethylamino)propyl-3-ethylcarbodiimide hydrochloride (WSCD-HCl), and carbonyldiimidazole (CDI). Further, the reaction can also be carried out in the presence of N,N-dimethylformamide (DMF) via an acid chloride using thionyl chloride or oxalyl chloride. Alternatively, the reaction can be carried out via an active ester using an acid anhydride such as acetic anhydride, or an acid chloride such as mesyl chloride.
Second Process:
Among the compounds of the invention, an ester derivative (Ib) having an ester residue as the substituent at the 2-position of the 1,4-dihydroquinoline ring is produced by reacting the carboxylic acid derivative represented by the general formula (II) with an alcohol represented by the general formula (IV) to form an ester bond.
In the formulae, X1 to X4 and R1 to R7 have the same meanings as defined above.
The reaction is usually carried out in the foregoing usual solvent or a mixture thereof. The reaction may also be carried out in other arbitrary organic solvent so far as it does not adversely affect the reaction. Although the reaction temperature and reaction time are not particularly limited, the reaction is usually carried out at room temperature overnight. The reaction can be carried out in the presence of a catalyst such as 1-hydroxybenzotriazole (HOBt) and 4-dimethylaminopyridine (DMAP), and/or a condensing agent such as dicyclohexylcarbodiimide (DCC), 1-[3-(dimethyl-amino)propyl-3-ethylcarbodiimide hydrochloride (WSCD.HCl), and carbonyldiimidazole (CDI). Further, the reaction can also be carried out in the presence of N,N-dimethylformamide (DMF) via an acid chloride using thionyl chloride or oxalyl chloride. Alternatively, the reaction can be carried out via an active ester using an acid anhydride such as acetic anhydride, or an acid chloride such as mesyl chloride.
Incidentally, with respect to the compound of the invention, as described above, there may be the case where isomers such as a racemate, an optically active compound, and a diastereomer are present singly or as a mixture. The racemic compound can be introduced into a stereochemically pure isomer by using a proper starting material(s), or by general racemic resolution (such as a method in which the racemic compound is introduced into a diastereomer salt with a general optically active acid (such as tartaric acid), which is then subjected to optical resolution). Further, the mixture of diastereomers can be separated by a customary manner such as fractional crystallization and chromatography.
The invention exhibits a selective anti-bacterial action against Helicobacter pylori and is effective for the therapy of infections of Helicobacter pylori in human being and related bacteria belonging to the genus Helicobacter in animals. Further, the anti-helicobacter pylori agent of the invention is effective for prevention (including prevention of recurrence) or therapy of peptic ulcers (such as gastric or duodenal ulcer), inflammations (such as acute or chronic gastritis or duodenitis), diseases of upper digestive tracts such as gastric cancer, MALT (mucosa-associated lymphoid tissue) lymphoma, or chronic heart disease.
The actions of the compound of the invention were confirmed by the following pharmacological tests.
(1) In Vitro Anti-Bacterial Activity Test:
1) Preparation of Anti-Bacterial Substance-Containing Agar Plate:
A substance to be evaluated was dissolved in 100% DMSO, and the solution was subjected to two-fold series dilution. The diluted solution was charged in a sterilized round Petri dish, to which was then added 10 mL of a brucella agar medium (0.1% β-cyclodextrin or 5% sheep blood) which had been sterilized and kept at 50° C. After intimate mixing, the mixture was solidified. The ultimate concentration of DMSO is 1% or less.
2) Preparation of Inoculation Material and Result Judgment:
Helicobacter pylori, such as Helicobacter pylon ATCC43504, which had been cultured at 37° C. for 3 days in a multigas incubator (N2: 80%, CO2: 15%, O2: 5%) using a brucella agar medium (containing 5% calf serum), was prepared using a brucella broth such that the number of bacteria was about 108 per mL depending on the turbidity. The bacterial solution was similarly diluted with a brucella broth 100-fold, about 1 or 5 μL of which was then inoculated on the surface of a drug-containing agar medium using a micro-planter. The inoculated agar plate was cultured at 37° C. for 3 days (72 hours) in the foregoing multigas incubator. The cultured agar plate was observed, and a minimal drug concentration at which the proliferation was not observed was designated as MIC.
(2) In Vivo Anti-Bacterial Activity Test:
The infection test was carried out by using Mongolian gerbils as reported to be stably infected (J. Gastroenterology 31: supple IX, 24–28, 1996). An overnight cultured inoculum of ATCC43504 was inoculated into a stomach of overnight-fasted Mongolian gerbils (MGS/Sea, male, 4-week-old) About one week after the infection, the therapy was started by orally administering a drug to be evaluated dissolved in a solvent according to the customary manner in a dose of 10 mg/kg, 3 mg/kg or 1 mL/kg twice per day for three days. Next day after completion of the administration, the stomach was taken out and ground. A stomach homogenate solution was subjected to 10-fold series dilution, inoculated on a modified Skirrow medium, and then cultured at 37° C. for six to seven days under microaerophile conditions or 10% CO2 conditions. The number of bacteria within the stomach was calculated from the number of grown bacteria.
Any of the compounds of Examples 1 to 4 of the invention exhibited a bacterial elimination effect from at a dose of 1 mg/kg. On the other hand, the following known compounds exhibited a bacterial elimination effect from at a does of 10 mg/kg.
Accordingly, it was confirmed that the compounds of the invention have a stronger bacterial elimination effect by oral administration to mammals as compared with the known anti-helicobacter pylori agents.
The drug containing the compound (I) of the invention or its salt and a pharmaceutically acceptable carrier can be prepared by a usually employed method using one or two or more of the compound represented by the general formula (I) or its salt and a pharmaceutical carrier, excipient and other additives as used for formulation. The administration may be in any form of oral administration by tablets, pills, capsules, granules, powders, liquids, etc., or parenteral administration by injections such as intravenous or intramuscular injection, suppositories, dermal administration, etc.

In such a solid composition, one or more active substances are mixed with at least one inert diluent such as lactose, mannitol, glucose, hydroxypropyl cellulose, microcrystalline cellulose, starch, polyvinylpyrrolidone, magnesium metasilicate aluminate. The composition may contain additives other than the inert diluent, such as a lubricant such as magnesium stearate, a disintegrating agent such as cellulose calcium glycolate, a stabilizer such as lactose, and a dissolution aid such as glutamic acid and aspartic acid, according to the customary method. If desired, the tablets or pills may be coated by a sugar coating such as sugar, gelatin, hydroxypropyl cellulose, and hydroxypropylmethyl cellulose phthalate, or a film made of a gastric-soluble or intestinal soluble substance.
The liquid composition for oral administration contains a pharmaceutically acceptable emulsion agent, solution agent, suspending agent, syrup, or elixir and contains a generally employed inert diluent such as purified water and ethanol. In addition to the inert diluent, this composition may contain an auxiliary agent such as a wetting agent and a suspending agent, a sweetener, a flavor, an aromatic, or an antiseptic.
The injection for parenteral administration contains a sterile aqueous or non-aqueous solution agent, suspending agent or emulsion agent. Examples of the aqueous solution agent or suspending agent include distilled water or physiological saline for injection. Examples of the non-aqueous solution agent or suspending agent include propylene glycol, polyethylene glycol, vegetable oils such as olive oil, alcohols such as ethanol, and Polysolvate 80 (trade name). Such a composition may also contain an auxiliary agent such as an antiseptic, a wetting agent, an emulsifier, a dispersing agent, a stabilizer (such as lactose), and a dissolution aid (such as glutamic acid and aspartic acid). These compositions are sterilized by, for example, filtration through a bacteria-holding filter, compounding with an anti-bacterial agent, or irradiation. Further, these can be used by producing a sterile solid composition and dissolving it in sterile water or a sterile solvent for injection before the used.
Usually, in the case of the oral administration, it is proper that the dose of the drug per day is from about 0.001 to 30 mg per kg, and preferably from 0.1 to 5 mg per kg of the body weight and that the drug is administered once or dividedly two to four times.
