Estrogen derivative having carriers to bone

TECHNICAL FIELD
The present invention relates to novel estrogen derivatives having carriers to bone which are useful for treating or preventing diseases caused by estrogen deficiency, and pharmaceutically acceptable salts thereof.
BACKGROUND ART
Estrogens are steroid or non-steroid estrogenic hormones, and various substances including not only natural substances but also synthetic substances are known as estrogens (Environmental Health Perceptives, Vol. 61, pp. 97-110 (1985)). Natural human estrogen is 17.beta.-estradiol produced mainly in ovary and this hormone plays an important role in the development of female secondary sexual character, the proliferation of endometrium, the control of sexual functions, the control of metabolism in bone, the control of lipid metabolism, etc. Therefore, when the estrogen in the body is deficient owing to aging or ovary malfunction, there are caused specific medical symptoms such as osteoporosis, menopausal disorders, lipid metabolism abnormality and vasomotor syndrome associated with menopause, atrophic vaginitis, kraurosis vulvae, premenstrual tension syndrome, female hypogonadism, etc. Estrogen supplementation therapy is applied to these diseases. The prophylactic effect of estrogen on fracture due to coronary cardiopathy or osteoporosis has recently been elucidated in postmenopausal women (Annals of Internal Medicine, Vol. 117, pp. 1038-1041 (1992)). Estrogen accelerates gonadotropin inhibition and is used also as a contraceptive in combination with progestogens (e.g. progesterone), other female sex hormones. However, since long-term administration of estrogen produces adverse side effects such as mastodynia, dysfunctional genital bleeding, corpulence, endometrial hyperplasia, endometrioma, mammary cancer, myocardial infarction, thromboembolism, cerebrovascular diseases, etc., a therapeutic agent having a more selective estrogen action is desired �American Journal of Medicine, Vol. 94, pp. 646-650 (1993)!.
There have already been reported the following compounds obtained by combining each of various estrogens with a compound having a specific molecular structure which is considered to be rich in affinity for osseous tissue (a compound having affinity for bone) by a covalent bond through a spacer in order to incorporate the estrogen selectively into bone:
1) Compounds obtained by bonding a poly-(malonic acid) derivative as a compound having affinity for bone to the hydroxyl group of a 17.beta.-estradiol derivative or the like by a carbamate linkage (Japanese Patent Unexamined Publication No. 2-36145).
2) Compounds obtained by bonding a bisphosphonic acid derivative as a compound having affinity for bone to the hydroxyl group of 17.beta.-estradiol by an ester linkage or a carbamate linkage (Japanese Patent Application Kohyo No. 6-500777).
3) Compounds obtained by bonding a bisphosphonic acid derivative to the hydroxyl group of a steroid compound such as 17.beta.-estradiol by a carbamate linkage, thiocarbamate linkage or carbonate linkage (Japanese Patent Unexamined Publication No. 4-352795).
4) Compounds obtained by bonding a bisphosphonic acid derivative to the hydroxyl group of a steroid compound such as 17.beta.-estradiol by an ester linkage or a carbamate linkage (Japanese Patent Unexamined Publication No. 5-286993).
5) Specific compounds obtained by bonding a bisphosphonic acid derivative to the hydroxyl group of 17.beta.-estradiol by an ester linkage (Japanese Patent Unexamined Publication No. 6-100576).
6) Compounds obtained by bonding a bisphosphonic acid derivative to the hydroxyl group of 17.beta.-estradiol or the like by an ether linkage (Japanese Patent Unexamined Publication Nos. 5-230086 and 6-329697).
7) Compounds obtained by bonding a bisphosphonic acid derivative to the hydroxyl group of 17.beta.-estradiol or the like by an ether linkage or a carbamate linkage (Japanese Patent Unexamined Publication No. 5-345791).
8) Compounds obtained by bonding a bisphosphonic acid derivative directly to the basic skeleton of an estrogen compound such as a hexestrol derivative or 2-phenylindole derivative through an alkylene group (Japanese Patent Unexamined Publication No. 5-222073).
Of the inventive compounds disclosed in these references, the compounds disclosed in 1) to 5) above are obtained by bonding a compound having affinity for bone to the hydroxyl group of an estrogen compound to form a so-called pro-drug type ester or carbamate, whose ester linkage or carbamate linkage is easily severed by metabolism in a living body. The estrogen compound released in the living body is expected to exhibit its effect in a local osseous tissue. The compounds disclosed in 6) and 7) above are obtained by bonding a compound having affinity for bone to the hydroxyl group of an estrogen compound to form an ether which is hardly decomposed by metabolism in a living body. Even if the whole ether molecule is transferred to an objective osseous tissue, it has a weakened effect as estrogen because at least one of the two important hydroxyl groups for exhibition of estrogen activity is blocked. Thus, it is considered that such compounds have inhibitory effect on bone resorption as so-called bisphosphonic acid derivatives. In addition, the compounds disclosed in 8) above are obtained by bonding a compound having affinity for bone directly to the basic skeleton of an estrogen compound through a spacer and hence retain the two important hydroxyl groups for exhibition of estrogen activity unlike the compounds disclosed in 1) to 7) above. However, the exhibition of estrogen action by such a bonding method has been not yet sufficient.
As compounds having affinity for bone, bisacylphosphonic acid derivatives �Pharmaceutical Research, Vol. 9, 143-148 (1992)!, iminobismethylenebisphosphonic acid derivatives �Japanese Patent Unexamined Publication No. 6-298779! and tartronic acid derivatives �WO9409770 and WO9410127! are known as background art in addition to the above-mentioned poly(malonic acid) derivatives and bisphosphonic acid derivatives. However, no compound obtained by bonding any of such derivatives to estrogen is described in these references.
The present invention is intended to provide a therapeutic agent and a prophylactic agent, which contains as an active ingredient a novel estrogen derivative having a higher selectivity for osseous tissue than for other organs such as genital organs, etc. is highly effective against diseases due to estrogen deficiency by virtue of the enhancement or prolongation of the effect of the derivative by its accumulation in osseous tissue, and has less adverse side effect.

Step A
An amide compound of the general formula (Ia) may be obtained by reacting a compound of the general formula (V) with a carboxylic acid activating agent (e.g. dicyclohexylcarbodiimide, isobutyl chloroformate, N,N'-carbonyldiimidazole, thionyl chloride or oxalyl dichloride, etc) in a suitable solvent to activate the carboxyl group of the compound of the general formula (V), and then reacting the reaction product with a compound of the general formula (VI) in the presence of a suitable base. As the suitable solvent, any solvent may be used so long as it has no undesirable influence on the reaction. The suitable solvent includes halogenated hydrocarbon solvents such as methylene chloride, chloroform, carbon tetrachloride, 1,2-dichloroethane, etc.; halogenated aromatic hydrocarbon solvents such as monochlorobenzene, o-dichlorobenzene, etc.; ether solvents such as diethyl ether, tetrahydrofuran, dioxane, 1,2-dimethoxyethane, etc.; dimethylformamide; dimethyl sulfoxide; acetonitrile; hexamethylphosphoramide; and mixed solvents obtained by arbitrary combination of these solvents.

It is preferable to activate the carboxyl group of the compound of the general formula (V) by adding the carboxylic acid activating agent in an amount of 1 to 2 equivalents per equivalent of the compound of the general formula (V), and then add the base and the compound of the general formula (VI) in amounts of 1 to 4 equivalents and 1 to 2 equivalents, respectively, per equivalent of the compound having the activated carboxyl group, to carry out the reaction. Although the reaction temperatures are not particularly limited, the reactions are carried out usually at -50.degree. C. to 150.degree. C., preferably -30.degree. C. to 50.degree. C.
A compound of the general formula (V) in which R.sup.5 is a hydrogen atom, a halogen atom or a methyl group may be produced from, for example, a corresponding tetraalkyl methylenebisphosphonate or tetraalkyl ethenylidenebisphosphonate by the same process as a conventional technique (for instance, the process disclosed in Japanese Patent Unexamined Publication No. 5-222073, J. Organometal. Chem., 13, 199-207 (1968), or Synthesis, 661-662 (1991)).

Comparative Example 2 is the synthetic estrogen described in J. Org. Chem., 38, 3525-3533 (1973), and Comparative Example 5 is the compound disclosed in Japanese Patent Unexamine Publication No. 5-222073.
TEST EXAMPLE 1
UMR-106 cells derived from rat osteosarcoma and COS-1 cells derived from monkey kidney were cultured in Dulbecco's minimal essential medium without Phenol Red (DMEM medium; available from COSMO BIO Co., Ltd.) containing 5% fetal bovine serum (availabale from GIBCO) stripped with dextran-coated charcoal. When 40-60% confluent state was brought about in each 90-mm Petri dish, 20 .mu.g in total of DNA, i.e., 0.5 .mu.g of an estrogen receptor expression vector, 1 .mu.g of a chloramphenicol acetyltransferase (CAT) reporter plasmid containing a Xenopus vitellogenin estrogen responsive element and a rabbit .beta.-globin promoter, 3 .mu.g of .beta.-galactosidase expression vector (pCH110, available from Pharmacia) and 15.5 .mu.g of M13+ plasmid (available from Stratagene) were transfected into cells by means of calcium phosphate coprecipitation. After 1 hour, each test compound was dissolved in sterillized and distilled water or dimethyl sulfoxide (DMSO) (in the case of Comparative Example 1 and Comparative Example 2) and added to the medium to adjust the final concentration of the test compound in the medium to 1 .mu.M or 10 nM (in the case of Comparative Example 1). If necessary, DMSO was added to the medium to adjust the final concentration of DMSO in the medium to 0.1% (10 .mu.l/10 ml). After 24 hours of culture, the medium was replaced by fresh medium and the test compound was again added thereto in the same manner as above. After another 24 hours of culture, cells were scraped off and their .beta.-galactosidase activity was measured by a conventional method to confirm the efficiency of DNA transfection into cells. Then, the activity of CAT enzyme due to the activation of the estrogen receptor was investigated. In detail, according to the method of Kato et al. �Cell, 68, 731-743 (1992)!, acetyl CoA (available from Sigma Chemical Co.) and .sup.14 C-chloramphenicol (available from Amersham) were reacted using 1 unit (UMR-106 cells) or 40 units (COS-1 cells) of cell extract, followed by a silica gel thin-layer chromatography, and the radio-activity of each of spots corresponding to acetyl .sup.14 C-chloramphenicol and .sup.14 C-chloramphenicol, respectively, which had been separated on the thin layer was determined with an image analyzer (BAS-2000, mfd. by Fuji Photo Film Co., Ltd.), after which the production rate (%) of acetyl .sup.14 C-chloramphenicol was calculated. The result of an experiment carried out in the same manner as above except for using medium containing only 0.1% DMSO was used as a control value, and the test compounds were compared in estrogen activity on the basis of the ratio of the calculated value obtained from each of them to the control value.
The results are shown in Table 1.

TEST EXAMPLE 2
The ovaries including oviductus of each Wistar strain female rat aged 7 weeks were removed from the back side under ether anesthesia. After 1 week, each test compound was began to be administered to a group of five of the thus treated rats. The test compound was subcutaneously administered in a dose of 0.01 to 3 mg/kg per day in one portion five times a week for 3 consecutive weeks in the form of a solution prepared as follows: each of the compounds of Comparative Example 1 and Comparative Example 2 were dissolved in a 5% ethanol-95% middle chain triacylglycerol (MCT) mixed solution, and each of other test compounds were dissolved in phosphate-buffered saline (pH 7.4). The rats were sacrified 24 hours after the final administration day, and the bone mineral density in proximal tibia and the wet weight of the uterus were measured. A group subjected to ovariectomy but not to administration of a test compound (a control group) and a group subjected to neither ovariectomy nor administration of a test compound (a sham-operation group) were also subjected to autopsy, and the bone mineral density and the wet weight of the uterus were measured. The above measurement of the bone mineral density was carried out by means of a bone mineral density measuring apparatus (DCS-600, mfd. by Aloka) applying dual energy X-ray absorptiometry (DXA method). The average of measured values for 5 rats in each group was calculated, and the restoration rate of each of the bone mineral density and the uterus weight was calculated by the following equation:
______________________________________Restoration rate(%) =(average for compound-treated group - average forcontrol group) / (average for sham-operationgroup - average for control group) .times. 100______________________________________
The results are shown in Table 2.

The doses of the test compounds; Comparative Example 1: 0.01 mg/Kg, Comparative Example 3: 2 mg/Kg, Comparative Example 5: 3 mg/Kg, other test compounds: 1 mg/Kg.
From the results of Test Example 1 and Test Example 2, the following was found: the compounds of Comparative Example 1 and Comparative Example 2 are clearly estrogen compounds and strongly inhibit the decrease caused by the ovariectomy of not only the bone mineral density but also the uterus weight, while the compounds of the present invention exhibit a much larger effect on the restoration rate of the bone mineral density than on the restoration rate of the uterus weight, namely, they have pharmacological effect selectively on bone, though they retain estrogen activity.
On the other hand, none of Comparative Example 3 (etidronate) which is an inhibitor of bone resorption, Comparative Example 4 obtained by combining a non-estrogen compound and a bisphosphonic acid derivative, and Comparative Example 5 obtained by combining bisphosphonic acid and an estrogen compound through an alkylene chain have estrogen activity, and hence they are clearly distinguished from the compounds of the present invention.
INDUSTRIAL APPLICABILITY
The estrogen derivatives (I) having carriers to bone of the present invention exhibit a more selective and lasting pharmacological effect on bone tissue than on other organs such as geniral organs, etc., and increase bone mineral density as estrogen. Therefore, they are useful as a therapeutic or prophylactic agent for osteroporosis, in particular, postmenopausal osteroporosis which has less adverse side effect.
Furthermore, the compounds of the present inventions are useful as a prophylactic or therapeutic agent for medical symptoms caused by estrogen deficiency, such as menopausal disorders, lipid metabolism abnormality and vasomotor syndrome associated with menopause, atrophic vaginitis, kraurosis vulvae, premenstrual tension syndrome, female hypogonadism, or coronary cardiopathy in postmenopausal women or as a contraceptive.
