Description


FIELD OF THE INVENTION

[0002] This invention is in the field of anti-inflammatory pharmaceutical agents and generally relates to compounds, compositions and methods for treating cyclooxygenase-2 mediated disorders, such as inflammation and inflammation-related disorders. The invention particularly relates to fluoro-substituted benzenesulfonyl compounds, compositions and methods for treating cyclooxygenase-2 mediated disorders.



BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION

[0003] Prostaglandins play a major role in the inflammation process and the inhibition of prostaglandin production, especially production of PGG2, PGH2 and PGE2, has been a common target of antiinflammatory drug discovery. Common non-steroidal antiinflammatory drugs (“NSAIDs”) that are active in reducing the prostaglandin-induced pain and swelling associated with the inflammation process are, however, also active in affecting other prostaglandin-regulated processes not associated with the inflammation process. Thus, use of high doses of most common NSAIDs can produce severe side effects, including life threatening ulcers, that limit their therapeutic potential. An alternative to NSAIDs is the use of corticosteroids, which have even more drastic side effects, especially when long term therapy is involved.


[0004] Previous NSAIDs have been found to prevent the production of prostaglandins by inhibiting enzymes in the human arachidonic acid/prostaglandin pathway, including the enzyme cyclooxygenase (COX). The recent discovery of an inducible enzyme associated with inflammation (named “cyclooxygenase-2 (COX-2)” or “prostaglandin G/H synthase II”) provides a viable target of inhibition which more effectively reduces inflammation and produces fewer and less drastic side effects.


[0005] Recently, there has been significant research into some of the roles of cyclooxygenase-2. It has been found that COX-2 is upregulated in benign and malignant tumors (K. Subbaramaiah et al., Proc. Soc. Exp. Biol. Med., 216, 201 (1997)) including lung cancer (T. Hida et al., Anticancer Res., 18, 775-82 (1998)), Barrett's esophagus (K. Wilson, Cancer Res., 58, 2929-34 (1998)) and skin cancer (S. Buckman et al., Carcinogenesis, 19, 723-29 (1998)). It is expressed in airway cells with implication in asthma (P. Barnes et al., Lung Biol. Health Dis., 114, 111-27 (1998)). COX-2 also has a role in pre-term labor, angiogenesis (M. Tsujii et al., Cell, 93, 705-16 (1998)), vascular rejection (M. Bustos, J. Clin. Invest., 100, 1150-58 (1997)), HIV induced apoptosis (G. Bagetta et al., Biochem. Biophys. Res. Commun., 244, 819-24 (1998)), neurodegeneration (T. Sandhya et al., Brain Res., 788, 223-31 (1998)), inflammatory bowel disease, colitis, (I. Singer et al., Gastroenterology, 115, 297-306 (1998)), cerebral ischemia (S. Nogawa et al., Proc. Natl. Acad. Sci., 95, 10966-71 (1998)), and hypertension (A. Nasjletti, Hypertension, 31, 194-200 (1997)), among others.


[0006] Drugs that inhibit cyclooxygenase affect colon cancer (T. Kawamori et al., Cancer Res., 58, 409-12 (1998)), allergic neuritis (K. Miyamoto et al., Neuro. Report, 9, 2331-34 (1998)), dementia, burn infections (M. Shoup, J. Trauma: Inj., Infec., Crit. Care, 45, 215-21 (1998)), cytomegalovirus infectivity (E. Speir et al., Circ. Res., 83, 210-16 (1998)), and lumbago (H. Bosch, Curr. Med. Res. Opin., 14, 29-38 (1997)), among others.

[2921] Stereoisomers, Tautomers, Protected Acids and Salts


[2922] Also included in the family of compounds of Formulae I through VII are the stereoisomers thereof including, but not limited to enantiomers, diastereomers, racemic mixtures and other mixtures thereof.


[2923] Also included in the family of compounds of Formulae I through VII are the tautomeric forms of those compounds.


[2924] Also included in the family of compounds of Formulae I through VII are the protected acids thereof, such as the esters, hydroxyamino derivatives, amides and sulfonamides. Thus, for example, primary and secondary amines can be reacted with carboxylic acid substituted forms of Formulae I-VII to form amides which can be useful as prodrugs. Preferred amines are heterocyclic amines, including optionally substituted aminothiazoles, optionally substituted amino-isoxazoles, and optionally substituted aminopyridines; aniline derivatives; sulfonamides; aminocarboxylic acids; and the like.

[2925] Also included in the family of compounds of Formulae I-VII are the pharmaceutically-acceptable salts thereof. The term “pharmaceutically-acceptable salts” embraces salts commonly used to form alkali metal salts and to form addition salts of free acids or free bases. The nature of the salt is not critical, provided that it is pharmaceutically-acceptable. Suitable pharmaceutically-acceptable acid addition salts of compounds of Formulae I-VII may be prepared from an inorganic acid or from an organic acid. Examples of such inorganic acids are hydrochloric, hydrobromic, hydroiodic, nitric, carbonic, sulfuric and phosphoric acid. Appropriate organic acids may be selected from aliphatic, cycloaliphatic, aromatic, araliphatic, heterocyclic, carboxylic and sulfonic classes of organic acids, examples of which are formic, acetic, propionic, succinic, glycolic, gluconic, lactic, malic, tartaric, citric, ascorbic, glucuronic, maleic, fumaric, pyruvic, aspartic, glutamic, benzoic, anthranilic, mesylic, salicyclic, salicyclic, 4-hydroxybenzoic, phenylacetic, mandelic, embonic (pamoic), methanesulfonic, ethanesulfonic, benzenesulfonic, pantothenic, 2-hydroxyethanesulfonic, toluenesulfonic, sulfanilic, cyclohexylaminosulfonic, stearic, algenic, N-hydroxybutyric, salicyclic, galactaric and galacturonic acid.

All of these salts maybe prepared by conventional means from the corresponding compounds of the invention by reacting, for example, the appropriate acid or base with the compounds of Formulae I-VII.


[2926] Pharmaceutical Compositions


[2927] Also embraced within this invention is a class of pharmaceutical compositions comprising the one or more of the active compounds of Formulae I-VII in association with one or more non-toxic, pharmaceutically-acceptable carriers and/or diluents and/or adjuvants (collectively referred to herein as “carrier” materials) and, if desired, other active ingredients. The active compounds of the present invention may be administered by any suitable route, preferably in the form of a pharmaceutical composition adapted to such a route, and in a dose effective for the treatment intended. The active compounds and compositions may, for example, be administered orally, pulmonary, mucosally, intravascularly, intraperitoneally, subcutaneously, intramuscularly or topically.


[2928] For oral administration, the pharmaceutical composition may be in the form of, for example, a tablet, capsule, suspension or liquid. The pharmaceutical composition is preferably made in the form of a dosage unit containing a particular amount of the active ingredient. Examples of such dosage units are tablets or capsules. The active ingredient may also be administered by injection as a composition wherein, for example, saline, dextrose or water may be used as a suitable carrier.


[2929] The amount of therapeutically active compounds which are administered and the dosage regimen for treating a disease condition with the compounds and/or compositions of this invention depends on a variety of factors, including the age, weight, sex and medical condition of the subject, the severity of the disease, the route and frequency of administration, and the particular compound employed, and thus may vary widely. The pharmaceutical compositions may contain active ingredients in the range of about 0.1 to 2000 mg, preferably in the range of about 0.5 to 500 mg and most preferably between about 1 and 100 mg. A daily dose of about 0.01 to 100 mg/kg body weight, preferably between about 0.5 and about 20 mg/kg body weight and most preferably between about 0.1 to 10 mg/kg body weight, may be appropriate. The daily dose can be administered in one to four doses per day.


[2930] In the case of psoriasis and other skin conditions, it may be preferable to apply a topical preparation of compounds of this invention to the affected area two to four times a day.


[2931] For inflammations of the eye or other external tissues, e.g., mouth and skin, the formulations are preferably applied as a topical ointment or cream, or as a suppository, containing the active ingredients in a total amount of, for example, 0.075 to 30% w/w, preferably 0.2 to 20% w/w and most preferably 0.4 to 15% w/w. When formulated in an ointment, the active ingredients may be employed with either paraffinic or a water-miscible ointment base. Alternatively, the active ingredients may be formulated in a cream with an oil-in-water cream base. If desired, the aqueous phase of the cream base may include, for example, at least 30% w/w of a polyhydric alcohol such as propylene glycol, butane-1,3-diol, mannitol, sorbitol, glycerol, polyethylene glycol and mixtures thereof. The topical formulation may desirably include a compound which enhances absorption or penetration of the active ingredient through the skin or other affected areas. Examples of such dermal penetration enhancers include dimethylsulfoxide and related analogs. The compounds of this invention can also be administered by a transdermal device. Preferably topical administration will be accomplished using a patch either of the reservoir and porous membrane type or of a solid matrix variety. In either case, the active agent is delivered continuously from the reservoir or microcapsules through a membrane into the active agent permeable adhesive, which is in contact with the skin or mucosa of the recipient. If the active agent is absorbed through the skin, a controlled and predetermined flow of the active agent is administered to the recipient. In the case of microcapsules, the encapsulating agent may also function as the membrane.


[2932] The oily phase of the emulsions of this invention may be constituted from known ingredients in a known manner. While the phase may comprise merely an emulsifier, it may comprise a mixture of at least one emulsifier with a fat or an oil or with both a fat and an oil. Preferably, a hydrophilic emulsifier is included together with a lipophilic emulsifier which acts as a stabilizer. It is also preferred to include both an oil and a fat. Together, the emulsifier(s) with or without stabilizer(s) make-up the so-called emulsifying wax, and the wax together with the oil and fat make up the so-called emulsifying ointment base which forms the oily dispersed phase of the cream formulations. Emulsifiers and emulsion stabilizers suitable for use in the formulation of the present invention include Tween 60, Span 80, cetostearyl alcohol, myristyl alcohol, glyceryl monostearate, and sodium lauryl sulfate, among others.


[2933] The choice of suitable oils or fats for the formulation is based on achieving the desired cosmetic properties, since the solubility of the active compound in most oils likely to be used in pharmaceutical emulsion formulations is very low. Thus, the cream should preferably be a non-greasy, non-staining and washable product with suitable consistency to avoid leakage from tubes or other containers. Straight or branched chain, mono- or dibasic alkyl esters such as di-isoadipate, isocetyl stearate, propylene glycol diester of coconut fatty acids, isopropyl myristate, decyl oleate, isopropyl palmitate, butyl stearate, 2-ethylhexyl palmitate or a blend of branched chain esters may be used. These may be used alone or in combination depending on the properties required. Alternatively, high melting point lipids such as white soft paraffin and/or liquid paraffin or other mineral oils can be used.


[2934] Formulations suitable for topical administration to the eye also include eye drops wherein the active ingredients are dissolved or suspended in suitable carrier, especially an aqueous solvent for the active ingredients. The antiinflammatory active ingredients are preferably present in such formulations in a concentration of 0.5 to 20%, advantageously 0.5 to 10% and particularly about 1.5% w/w.


[2935] For therapeutic purposes, the active compounds of this combination invention are ordinarily combined with one or more adjuvants appropriate to the indicated route of administration. If administered per os, the compounds may be admixed with lactose, sucrose, starch powder, cellulose esters of alkanoic acids, cellulose alkyl esters, talc, stearic acid, magnesium stearate, magnesium oxide, sodium and calcium salts of phosphoric and sulfuric acids, gelatin, acacia gum, sodium alginate, polyvinylpyrrolidone, and/or polyvinyl alcohol, and then tableted or encapsulated for convenient administration. Such capsules or tablets may contain a controlled-release formulation as may be provided in a dispersion of active compound in hydroxypropylmethyl cellulose. Formulations for parenteral administration may be in the form of aqueous or non-aqueous isotonic sterile injection solutions or suspensions. These solutions and suspensions may be prepared from sterile powders or granules having one or more of the carriers or diluents mentioned for use in the formulations for oral administration. The compounds may be dissolved in water, polyethylene glycol, propylene glycol, ethanol, corn oil, cottonseed oil, peanut oil, sesame oil, benzyl alcohol, sodium chloride, and/or various buffers. Other adjuvants and modes of administration are well and widely known in the pharmaceutical art.


[2936] For pulmonary administration, the pharmaceutical composition may be administered in the form of an aerosol or with an inhaler including dry powder aerosol.


[2937] General Synthetic Procedures


[2938] The compounds of the invention can be synthesized according to the procedures set forth below. The substituents of the compounds shown in the following procedures generally have the same definition as the substituents at the corresponding position in the compounds of Formulae I-VII, except where further noted. For example, unless otherwise noted, R1, R2 and R3 as used in the procedures below correspond to R1, R2 and R3 as previously defined; R3A and R3B correspond to substituents independently selected from R3 as previously defined; and RS corresponds to a functional group selected from the group consisting of hydrogen and the optional substituents previously defined for the R1 cyclohexyl, pyridinyl and phenyl moieties. Unless otherwise noted, XH as used in the procedures below corresponds to halogen. Although the discussion of the synthetic methodology outlined below focuses primarily on difluoro compounds (i.e., wherein one of X1 and X2 is fluoro and the other of X1 and X2 is hydrogen), it also is applicable to the preparation of trifluoro compounds (i.e., wherein both of X1 and X2 are fluoro).
20


[2939] The 3,5-difluoro-4-methylsulfonylphenyl 1, 2,5-difluoro-4-methylsulfonylphenyl 2, 3,5-difluoro-4-amino-sulfonylphenyl 3, and 2,5-difluoro-4-amino-sulfonylphenyl 4 are specific regiochemically substituted aromatic rings present in the cyclooxygenase-2 inhibiting diaryl-heterocycles disclosed in this application. The described difluoro-4-methyl-sulfonylphenyl 1 or 2 and difluoro-4-amino-sulfonylphenyl 3 or 4 ring functionality can be prepared using the synthetic methodology outlined below for the various diaryl substituted heterocycles disclosed in this application.
21


[2940] The methylthio 5 or 6 group can be converted to the corresponding methylsulfone 1 or 2, respectively, through treatment with at least two molar oxidizing equivalents of a reagent such as m-chloroperbenzoic acid, monoperoxyphthalic acid, or OXONE®.
22


[2941] The sulfonamide 3 or 4 can be obtained from the corresponding sulfone 1 or 2 by treatment with an alkyl base such as butyllithium, methyllithium, and the like in ethereal solvents such as tetrahydrofuran at approximately −78° C. In a second step, a trialkyl-borane such as triethylborane or tributylborane is added affording the corresponding intermediate borate 7 or 8 which is warmed to room temperature prior to refluxing for 16 hours or an appropriate period of time. The solution is cooled to room temperature. Water, sodium acetate and hydroxylamine-O-sulfonic acid are then added to yield the sufonamide 3 or 4 [Hwang, Tetrahedron Letters, 35, 7201-04(1994)].
23


[2942] In Scheme II, sulfonamide 3 or 4 can be obtained by treatment of the corresponding sulfone 1 or 2 with an alkyl base such as butyllithium. Addition of trimethylsilyl-methylchloride affords the corresponding trimethylsilylethylsulfone 11 or 12. Desilylation by a reagent such as tetra-n-butyl ammonium fluoride to a solution of the sulfone 11 or 12 followed by in situ ethylene extrusion affords the sulfinic acid 13 or 14 [Vhu, Steroids, 67, 543-45(1997)]. Sulfinic acid 13 or 14 can be converted to the corresponding sulfonamide 3 or 4 by the addition of sodium acetate and hydroxylamine-O-sulfonic acid.
24


[2943] In Scheme III sulfonamides 3 or 4 can be prepared from the methylthio group from the corresponding ring substitution in 5 or 6 by conversion of the methylthio moiety to the sulfoxide by careful addition of one equivalent of an oxidizing agent such as m-chloroperbenzoic acid, monoperoxyphthalic acid, or OXONE®. A Pummer rearrangement performed by mixing the resulting sulfoxide in anhydrides followed by heating provides the corresponding thioacetal 15 or 16. Oxidation to the sulfone as described earlier followed by treatment with either hydroxide or an alkoxide provides the corresponding sulfinic acid 13 or 14 [Vleeschauwer, Syn. Lett., 4, 375-77,(1997)]. The sulfinic acid 13 or 14 can be converted to the desired sulfonamide 3 or 4 by the addition of a suitable base such as sodium acetate and hydroxylamine-O-sulfonic acid in aqueous alcoholic solvents such as methanol-water or ethanol-water.
25


[2944] Alternatively, Scheme IV illustrates another procedure for the preparation of sulfonamides 3 or 4 starting with the corresponding methylthio moiety 5 or 6. First, conversion of the methylthio moiety to the methylsulfoxide is accomplished by careful addition of one equivalent of an oxidizing agent such as m-chloro-perbenzoic acid, monoperoxyphthalic acid, or OXONE®. The methylsulfoxide is then mixed in a variety of inert solvents such as dichloromethane with trifluoroacetic anhydride which, after aqueous workup, provides the corresponding sulfide 17 or 18, respectively. The sulfide 17 or 18 is treated with chlorine providing the corresponding sulfonyl-chloride 19 or 20. Finally, addition of ammonia to the sulfonylchloride 19 or 20 affords the desired sulfonamide 3 or 4 [Kharash, J. Am. Chem. Soc., 73, 3240(1951)].
26


[2945] Difluoro-4-methylthiophenyl-substituted-phenyl-ethanones 21, 22, 23, and 24 are intermediates used in the preparation of many of the diaryl-heterocycles disclosed in this application. The following is a description of several methods for their preparation.
27


[2946] Scheme V illustrates the preparation of a deoxybenzoin 21 or 22. Mixing trifluorobenzaldehyde 25 or 26 with sodium thiomethoxide in polar solvents such as acetonitrile or dimethylformamide produces the corresponding difluoro-4-methylthio-benzaldehyde 27 or 28. A solution of the aldehyde, zinc iodide, and trimethylsilyl cyanide in a halogenated solvent such as dichloromethane is mixed at room temperature affording a trimethylsilylcyanohydrin. Deprotonation of the cyanohydrin with a base such as lithium diisopropylamide or lithium hexamethyl-disilylamide followed by addition of an appropriately substituted benzylhalide and acid-base workup of the reaction yields the corresponding 1-(difluoro-4-methylthiophenyl)-2-(substituted-phenyl)-ethanone 1 or 22.
28


[2947] A synthetic scheme for the preparation of difluoro-4-methylthiophenyl-substituted-phenyl-ethanone 23 or 24, which has the alternative regiochemistry, is outlined in Scheme VI. Reduction of the difluoro-4 methylthiobenzaldehyde 27 or 28 with hydride reagents such as sodium borohydride, lithium aluminum hydride, and the like affords the benzyl alcohol. Conversion of the benzyl alcohol to the corresponding benzyl halide 29 or 30 can be accomplished through the preparation of the tosylate followed by displacement with chloride or bromide ion (represented by XH in Scheme VI). These compounds can be utilized in the synthetic methodology described previously to afford the desired 1-(substituted-phenyl)-2-(difluoro-4-methylthiophenyl)-ethanone 23 or 24.
29


[2948] Scheme VII illustrates a procedure that can be used to prepare 1-(substituted-phenyl)-2-(difluoro-4-methylthiophenyl)-ethanone 23 or 24 from the corresponding difluoro-4-methylthiobenzaldehyde 27 or 28. In step one, the aldehyde 27 or 28 and substituted phenylacetic acid 31 are heated in acetic anhydride and triethylamine which, upon aqueous quenching, affords the corresponding 2,3-disubstituted acrylic acid 32 or 33. Mixing of acrylic acid 32 or 33 with diphenylphosphorylazide (DPPA) and triethylamine produces an acylazide. The acylazide undergoes a Curtius rearrangement to an isocyanate which is trapped with tert-butanol yielding a N-tert-butylcarboxy-carbamate. Treatment of the carbamate with concentrated aqueous hydrochloric acid provides the desired substituted ketone 23 or 24.
30


[2949] The preparation of 3,4-diarylthiophene 37 or 38 is illustrated in Scheme VIII. Difluoro-4-methylthiophenyl-substituted-phenyl ethanone 21 or 22 and an acetal of dimethylformamide are refluxed together in toluene. Upon removal of the solvent and excess acetal, the enamine 33 or 34 is obtained. The enamine 33 or 34 is refluxed in 1,2 dichloroethane with esters of thioacetic acid affording a mixture of Michael addition products 35 or 36. The 1,2-dichloroethane is removed at reduced pressure and the residue is taken up in an alcoholic solvent and the related sodium alkoxide added. Upon mixing at room temperature the desired trisubstituted thiophene 37 or 38 is obtained after purification.
31


[2950] As illustrated in Scheme IX, the methylthio moiety 37 or 38 can be converted to the corresponding difluoronated methyl sulphone or sulfonamide 39 or 40 as described previously. The ester group of thiophene 39 or 40 then can be manipulated using conventional organic laboratory procedures into a number functional groups such as alcohol, alkyl, alkene, alkyne, amide, cyano, etc. The ester group also can be saponified and the resulting carboxylic acid 43 or 44 removed through a copper-mediated decarboxylation affording the desired 3,4-substituted diphenylthiophene 45 or 46.
32


[2951] Alternatively, as illustrated in Scheme X, the remaining hydrogen of the thiophene ring 37 or 38 can be converted to a halogen or nitro group in the corresponding 47 or 48 and the ester once more manipulated as described to a variety of functional groups as in the corresponding difluoronated compounds 49, 50, 51 or 52, respectively.
33


[2952] Initiation of the thiophene protocol with the second regioisomer of the difluoro-4-methylthiophenyl-substituted-phenyl ethanone 21 or 22 and implementation of the thiophene chemistry described in Scheme X affords thiophenes with the regiosubstitution shown in Scheme XI.
34


[2953] Synthetic Scheme XII illustrates the preparation of tetrasubstituted pyrazoles from acetophenone 61. In step 1 of synthetic Scheme XII, the phenyl-methyl ketone 61 is treated with a base and an alkylating reagent (R3AL, where L represents a leaving group such as tosyl) to give the substituted ketone 62. In step 2, the substituted ketone 62 is treated with base, such as sodium methoxide, and an acylating reagent such as an ester (R3BCO2CH3), or ester equivalent (R3BCO-imidazole) to give the intermediate diketone 64 [Reid, Calvin, J. Amer. Chem. Soc., 72, 2948-52 (1950)]. In step 3, the diketone 64 is reacted with a substituted hydrazine 65 or 66 in acetic acid or an alcoholic solvent to give a mixture of corresponding pyrazoles 67 and 69, or 68 and 70, respectively. Separation of the desired pyrazole 69 or 70 can be achieved by chromatography or recrystallization.
35


[2954] Synthetic Scheme XIII illustrates the preparation of 4-unsubstituted pyrazoles (i.e., R3A as used in Scheme XIII is hydrogen). In step 1, ketone 61 is treated with a base, preferably sodium methoxide or sodium hydride, and an ester, or ester equivalent, to form the intermediate diketone 71 which is used without further purification. In step 2, diketone 71 in an anhydrous protic solvent, such as absolute ethanol or acetic acid, is treated with the hydrochloride salt or the free base of a substituted hydrazine 65 or 66 at reflux for 10 to 24 hours to afford a mixture of pyrazoles 72 and 74, or 73 and 75, respectively.

[2955] Synthetic Scheme XIV illustrates the preparation of 4,5-dihydrobenz[g]indazole compounds. In step 1, ethyl esters of acetates are mixed with base, such as 25% sodium methoxide in a protic solvent, such as methanol, and 1-tetralone derivative 76 to give the intermediate diketone 77. In step 2, the diketone 77 in an anhydrous protic solvent, such as absolute ethanol or acetic acid, is treated with the free base or hydrochloride salt of a substituted hydrazine 65 or 66 at reflux for 24 hours to afford a mixture of corresponding pyrazoles 78 and 80, or 79 and 81.

37


[2956] Synthetic Scheme XV illustrates the preparation of 4-chloro-pyrazole compound 82 or 83, from the pyrazole compound 74 or 75 wherein R3A is hydrogen. Chlorination results from passing a stream of chlorine gas at room temperature through a solution containing 74 or 75.
38


[2957] Synthetic Scheme XVI illustrates an alternative regioselective method of constructing pyrazole 74 or 75. Commercially available enones 84 can be epoxidized to give epoxyketones 85, which are treated with the appropriate difluoro-4-sulfonamido-phenylhydrazine hydrochloride 65 or 66, to provide the desired pyrazole 74 or 75, respectively.
39


[2958] Scheme XVII illustrates a regioselective method of preparing methylthiopyrazole 93 or 94. The trifluoro-acetophenone 86 or 87 is mixed with sodium thiomethoxide in a polar solvent such as acetonitrile of dimethylformamide to afford the corresponding difluoro-4-methyl-sulfonylacetophenone 88 or 89. Mixing the acetophenone 88 or 89 with a base, such as sodium methoxide, and an acylating reagent 90 such as an ester (R1CO2CH3), or activated ester equivalent (R1CO-imidazole), gives the corresponding intermediate diketone 91 or 92 [J. Amer. Chem. Soc., 72, 2948-52, (1950)]. This diketone 91 or 92 is refluxed with a substituted hydrazine in alcoholic solvents under acid conditions to afford the methylthiopyrazole 93 or 94 after purification by chromatography or crystallization.
40


[2959] The methylthiopyrazole 93 or 94 can be converted to the desired difluoro-4-methylsulfonylpyrazole or difluoro-4-sulfonamidylpyrazoles 95 or 96, respectively, using procedures described earlier. Similar pyrazoles can be prepared by methods described in U.S. Pat. No. 5,486,534 which is incorporated by reference.

Suitable acylating agents are anhydrides, acyl imidazoles, esters and the like. Upon quenching the reaction mixture with dilute aqueous acid, the corresponding hydrated isoxazole derivative 101 or 102 can be isolated by crystallization or chromatography.
43


[2962] Synthetic Scheme XXI illustrates a procedure that can be used for the preparation of isoxazole analog 103 or 104 through dehydration of the corresponding hydrated isoxazole derivative 101 or 102. Substituted hydrated isoxazole 101 or 102 is dissolved in an appropriate solvent such as toluene and then treated with a catalytic to stoichiometric amount of concentrated sulfuric acid to effect dehydration and thereby produce isoxazole derivative 103 or 104. Other acids also can be employed to effect this transformation such as concentrated HCl, concentrated HBr and many others.

The procedure is a two step process for the direct introduction of the sulfonamide moiety into difluorophenylisoxazole 103 or 104 or hydrated isoxazole 101 or 102. In step one, isoxazole 103 or 104 or hydrated isoxazole 101 or 102 is treated at about 0° C. with two or three equivalents of chlorosulfonic acid to form the corresponding sulfonyl chloride. In step two, the sulfonyl chloride thus formed is treated with concentrated ammonia to provide the sulfonamide derivative 105 or 106.
45


[2964] Synthetic Scheme XXIII illustrates a three step procedure used to prepare sulfonamide 105 or 106 from the corresponding difluorophenyl isoxazole 103 or 104.

In step two, the sulfonic acid is converted into the sulfonyl chloride by the action of phosphorus oxychloride. In step three, the sulfonyl chloride is treated with excess concentrated ammonia to provide difluoro-4-sulfonamidyl-phenylisoxazole 105 or 106.
46


[2965] Scheme XXIV illustrates a five step procedure for the preparation of substituted isoxazole derivatives. In the first step substituted phenyl-2-(difluoro-4-methylthiophenyl)-ethanone 21 or 22 is converted to the corresponding oxime 107 or 108 by treatment with hydroxylamine hydrochloride in the presence of sodium acetate in aqueous ethanol. The oxime 107 or 108 is treated with slightly more than two equivalents of n-butyl lithium and then the resulting dianion is quenched by a suitable acylating agent such as an anhydride, acid chloride, ester, acyl imidazole and the like to afford a hydrated isoxazole 109 or 110, respectively. In the last step, the hydrated isoxazole is dehydrated by an acid and the sulfonamide unmasked by treatment with aqueous sulfuric acid to form the isoxazole derivative 111 or 112 as desired.
47


[2966] As illustrated in Scheme XXV, the methylsulfide moiety 111 or 112 prepared in Scheme XXIV can be converted to the sulfonamide or methylsulfone diarylisoxazole 113 or 114.
48


[2967] Scheme XXVI illustrates a three-step procedure for the preparation of another isoxazole isomer. In step one, substituted 1,2-diphenylbutenone 115 or 116 is converted to the corresponding oxime 117 or 113 by treatment with hydroxylamine hydrochloride in the presence of sodium acetate in aqueous ethanol. The oxime 117 or 118 is then reacted with potassium iodide and iodine in the presence of base, such as sodium bicarbonate, to afford a halo intermediate. Sodium bisulfite is added to form the corresponding isoxazole 119 or 120.
49


[2968] Treatment of the isoxazole 119 or 120 with chlorosulfonic acid provides, after workup, the intermediate sulfonyl chloride which can be converted to the corresponding sulfonamide 121 or 122 by mixing with ammonia in various solvents. In addition, difluoro-4-sulfonamidyl-phenyl type diaryl/heteroaryl isoxazoles can be prepared by the methods described in PCT Application Serial No. US96/01869, PCT documents WO92/05162 and WO92/19604, and European Publication EP 26928, which are incorporated by reference.
50


[2969] Scheme XXVIII illustrates a synthetic pathway for preparation of furanones. The acetophenone 86 or 87 is halogenated in acetic acid to afford the corresponding acylhalide 123 or 124. Displacement of the halide 123 or 124 with phenylacetic acid 125 in the presence of triethylamine in acetonitrile followed by addition of diazobi-cyclo[5.4.0]undec-7-ene affords the corresponding furanone 126 or 127 as desired [Ahluwalia, Synth. Commun. 19, 619-26 (1989)].
51


[2970] The methylthiofuranones 126 or 127 can be converted to the corresponding methylsulfonyl and sulfonamide furanones 128 or 129 as previously outlined.
52


[2971] The furan 130 or 131 can be prepared from the corresponding furanone 126 or 127 by reduction and rearomatization though dehydration. Treatment of the furanone 126 or 127 in chlorinated solvents such as dichloromethane at reduced temperatures with hydride reagents such as diisobutylaluminum hydride (DIBAL-H) followed by treatment with mineral acids to catalyze the dehydration of the resulting hemiacetal affords the corresponding furan 130 or 131 [Singh, Indian J. Chem., Sect. B., 29, 954-60 (1990)]. The sulfide can be converted to the sulfone 132 or 133 and sulfonamide 134 or 135 as previously described.
53


[2972] Scheme XXXI illustrates the preparation of the difluoro-4-sulfonylphenyl-imidazole 146 or 147. Substitution of the 4-fluorine in trifluoro-nitrobenzene 136 or 137 with sodium thiomethoxide provides the corresponding difluoro-4-methylthio-nitrobenzene 138 or 139. Reduction of the nitro group to an amine can be accomplished through hydrogenation over a metallic catalyst such as palladium or platinum on various supports. The resulting phenylamine 140 or 141 can be reacted with substituted nitrites in the presence of alkylaluminum reagents such a trimethylaluminum in inert solvents such as toluene or benzene affording the corresponding amidine 142 or 143. Mixing of the amidine with a 2-haloketone in the presence of mild inorganic or organic bases such as triethylamine, diisopropylamine, or sodium bicarbonate in solvents such as acetone, acetonitrile, or dimethylformamide gives a 4,5-dihydroimidazole that can be dehydrated in the presence of catalytic mineral acids to afford the corresponding 1,2-disubstituted imidazole 144 or 145.


[2973] These types of diaryl/heteroaryl imidazoles also can be prepared by the methods described in U.S. Pat. No. 4,822,805 and PCT documents WO93/14082 and WO96/03388, which are incorporated by reference.

54


[2974] The 4-bromo-difluorobenzenesufonyl chloride 148 or 149 can be treated with sodium sulfite followed by treatment with dimethylsulfate to afford the corresponding 4-bromo-difluoromethylsulfonyl-benzene 150 or 151 [Organic Synthesis, Vol. IV, p. 674]. Diaryl/heteroaryl cyclopentene 158 or 159 comprising the difluorosulfonyl functional group can be prepared in accordance with the general methods described in U.S. Pat. No. 5,344,991 and PCT document WO95/00501 starting from the 4-bromo-difluoro-methylsulfonyl-benzene, as outlined in Scheme XXXII. U.S. Pat.

56


[2976] Scheme XXXIV illustrates the preparation of 3,4-diaryloxazol-2-one 179 or 180 and derivatives. Oxidation of the methyl group adjacent to the carbonyl carbon to an alcohol can be accomplished using base, aliquat 336 and oxygen (see, e.g., EP 197,704, which is incorporated by reference). Treatment of the resulting alcohol 173 or 174 with an isocyanate followed by dehydration of the hydroxy intermediate 175 or 176 in the presence of acid affords the corresponding oxazolone compound 177 or 178. The methylsulfide group of oxazolone compound 177 or 178 can be converted to the sulfone or sulfonamide affording the corresponding substituted 3,4 diaryloxazol-2-one 179 or 180 as previously described. Other 3,4-diaryloxazol-2-one compounds with the basic structure of substituted 3,4 diaryloxazol-2-ones 179 or 180 that comprise the difluorosulfonyl functional group can be prepared starting from the 2-hydroxy-1′-[difluoro-4-methylsulfidophenyl]-ethanone 173 or 174 in accordance with the methods described in PCT documents WO98/11080 and WO99/14205 which are incorporated by reference.
57


[2977] Scheme XXXV illustrates the preparation of 3,4-diarylthiazolin-2-ones. Mixing aniline 181 with bis(ethoxythiocarbonyl) in an alcoholic solvent affords the ethyl-thiocarbamate 182. Refluxing of the ethyl-thiocarbamate 182 and the 2-bromoacetophenone 183 or 184 in an ethereal solvent provides the corresponding hydroxy intermediate 185 or 186. Heating of hydroxy intermediate 185 or 186 with mineral acids in alcoholic solvents yields the desired 3,4 diarylthiazolin-2-one 187 or 188. U.S. Pat. No. 5,859,036 describes another procedure and is incorporated by reference.

BIOLOGICAL EVALUATION


Evaluation of COX-1 and COX-2 activity in vitro

[3054] The compounds of this invention exhibited inhibition in vitro of COX-2. The COX-2 inhibition activity of the compounds of this invention illustrated in the Examples was determined by the following methods.


[3055] A. Preparation of Recombinant COX Baculoviruses


[3056] Recombinant COX-1 and COX-2 were prepared as described by Gierse et al. [J Biochem., 305, 479-84 (1995)]. A 2.0 kb fragment containing the coding region of either human or murine COX-1 or human or murine COX-2 was cloned into a BamHl site of the baculovirus transfer vector pVL1393 (Invitrogen) to generate the baculovirus transfer vectors for COX-1 and COX-2 in a manner similar to the method of D. R. O'Reilly et al. [Baculovirus Expression Vectors: A Laboratory Manual (1992)]. Recombinant baculoviruses were isolated by transfecting 4 μg of baculovirus transfer vector DNA into SF9 insect cells (2×108) along with 200 ng of linearized baculovirus plasmid DNA by the calcium phosphate method. See M. D. Summers and G. E. Smith, A Manual of Methods for Baculovirus Vectors and Insect Cell Culture Procedures, Texas Agric. Exp. Station Bull. 1555 (1987). Recombinant viruses were purified by three rounds of plaque purification and high titer (107-108 pfu/mL) stocks of virus were prepared. For large scale production, SF9 insect cells were infected in 10 liter fermentors (0.5×106/mL) with the recombinant baculovirus stock such that the multiplicity of infection was 0.1. After 72 hours the cells were centrifuged and the cell pellet homogenized in Tris/Sucrose (50 mM:25%, pH 8.0) containing 1% 3-[(3-cholamidopropyl)dimethylammonio]-1-propanesulfonate (CHAPS). The homogenate was centrifuged at 10,000×G for 30 minutes, and the resultant supernatant was stored at −80° C. before being assayed for COX activity.


[3057] B. Assay for COX-1 and COX-2 Activity


[3058] COX activity was assayed as PGE2 formed/μg protein/time using an ELISA to detect the prostaglandin released. CHAPS-solubilized insect cell membranes containing the appropriate COX enzyme were incubated in a potassium phosphate buffer (50 mM, pH 8.0) containing epinephrine, phenol, and heme with the addition of arachidonic acid (10 uM). Compounds were pre-incubated with the enzyme for 10-20 minutes prior to the addition of arachidonic acid. Any reaction between the arachidonic acid and the enzyme was stopped after ten minutes at 37° C./room temperature by transferring 40 μl of reaction mix into 160 μl ELISA buffer and 25 μM indomethacin. The PGE2 formed was measured by standard ELISA technology (Cayman Chemical).


[3059] C. Fast Assay for COX-1 and COX-2 Activity


[3060] COX activity was assayed as PGE2 formed/μg protein/time using an ELISA to detect the prostaglandin released. CHAPS-solubilized insect cell membranes containing the appropriate COX enzyme were incubated in a potassium phosphate buffer (0.05 M Potassium phosphate, pH 7.5, 2 μM phenol, 1 μM heme, 300 μM epinephrine) with the addition of 20 μl of 100 μM arachidonic acid (10 μM). Compounds were pre-incubated with the enzyme for 10 minutes at 25° C. prior to the addition of arachidonic acid. Any reaction between the arachidonic acid and the enzyme was stopped after two minutes at 37°‘ C./room temperature by transferring 40 μl of reaction mix into 160 μl ELISA buffer and 25 μM indomethacin. The PGE2 formed was measured by standard ELISA technology (Cayman Chemical). Results are shown in Table I.

Rat Carrageenan Foot Pad Edema Test

[3061] The carrageenan foot edema test is performed with materials, reagents and procedures essentially as described by Winter et al. [Proc. Soc. Exp. BioL Med.,111, 544 (1962)]. Male Sprague-Dawley rats are selected in each group so that the average body weight is as close as possible. Rats are fasted with free access to water for over sixteen hours prior to the test. The rats are dosed orally (1 mL) with compounds suspended in vehicle containing 0.5% methylcellulose and 0.025% surfactant, or with vehicle alone. One hour later a subplantar injection of 0.1 mL of 1% solution of carrageenan/sterile 0.9% saline is administered and the volume of the injected foot is measured with a displacement plethysmometer connected to a pressure transducer with a digital indicator. Three hours after the injection of the carrageenan, the volume of the foot is again measured. The average foot swelling in a group of drug-treated animals is compared with that of a group of placebo-treated animals and the percentage inhibition of edema is determined (Otterness and Bliven, Laboratory Models for Testing NSAIDs, in Non-steroidal Anti-Inflammatory Drugs, (J. Lombardino, ed. 1985)).



Rat Carrageenan-induced Analgesia Test

[3062] The rat carrageenan analgesia test is performed with materials, reagents and procedures essentially as described by Hargreaves et al. [Pain, 32, 77 (1988)]. Male Sprague-Dawley rats are treated as previously described for the Carrageenan Foot Pad Edema test. Three hours after the injection of the carrageenan, the rats are placed in a special plexiglass container with a transparent floor having a high intensity lamp as a radiant heat source, positionable under the floor. After an initial twenty minute period, thermal stimulation is begun on either the injected foot or on the contralateral uninjected foot. A photoelectric cell turns off the lamp and timer when light is interrupted by paw withdrawal. The time until the rat withdraws its foot is then measured. The withdrawal latency in seconds is determined for the control and drug-treated groups, and percent inhibition of the hyperalgesic foot withdrawal is determined.
