Furyl and thienyl alkynyl-N-hydroxy urea derivatives

TECHNICAL FIELD
This invention relates to compounds having activity to inhibit lipoxygenase enzymes, to a novel method of preparing such compounds, to pharmaceutical compositions comprising these compounds, and to a medical method of treatment. More particularly, this invention concerns certain substituted alkynyl ureas and hydroxamic acids which inhibit leukotriene biosynthesis, to a novel method of chemical synthesis of the compounds, to pharmaceutical compositions comprising these compounds and to a method of inhibiting lipoxygenase activity and leukotriene biosynthesis.
BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION
5-Lipoxygenase is the first dedicated enzyme in the pathway leading to the biosynthesis of leukotrienes. This important enzyme has a rather restricted distribution, being found predominantly in leukocytes and mast cells of most mammals. Normally 5-lipoxygenase is present in the cell in an inactive form; however, when leukocytes respond to external stimuli, intracellular 5-lipoxygenase can be rapidly activated. This enzyme catalyzes the addition of molecular oxygen to fatty acids with cis,cis- 1,4-pentadiene structures, converting them to 1-hydroperoxy-trans, cis-2,4-pentadienes. Arachidonic acid, the 5-lipoxygenase substrate which leads to leukotriene products, is found in very low concentrations in mammalian cells and must first be hydrolyzed from membrane phospholipids through the actions of phospholipases in response to extracellular stimuli. The initial product of 5-lipoxygenase action on arachidonate is 5-HPETE which can be reduced to 5-HETE or converted to LTA.sub.4. This reactive leukotriene intermediate is enzymatically hydrated to LTB.sub.4 or conjugated to the tripeptide glutathione to produce LTC.sub.4. LTA.sub.4 can also be hydrolyzed nonenzymatically to form two isomers of LTB.sub.4. Successive proteolytic cleavage steps convert LTC.sub.4 to LTD.sub.4 and LTE.sub.4. Other products resulting from further oxygenation steps have also been described in the literature. Products of the 5-lipoxygenase cascade are extremely potent substances which produce a wide variety of biological effects, often in the nanomolar to picomolar concentration range.
The remarkable potencies and diversity of actions of products of the 5-lipoxygenase pathway have led to the suggestion that they play important roles in a variety of diseases. Alterations in leukotriene metabolism have been demonstrated in a number of disease states including asthma, allergic rhinitis, rheumatoid arthritis and gout, psoriasis, adult respiratory distress syndrome, inflammatory bowel disease, endotoxin shock syndrome, atherosclerosis, ischemia induced myocardial injury, and central nervous system pathology resulting from the formation of leukotrienes following stroke or subarachnoid hemorrhage.
The enzyme 5-lipoxygenase catalyzes the first step leading to the biosynthesis of all the leukotrienes and therefore inhibition of this enzyme provides an approach to limit the effects of all the products of this pathway. Compounds which inhibit 5-lipoxygenase are thus useful in the treatment of disease states such as those listed above in which the leukotrienes play an important role.
U.S. Pat. No. 4,738,986 to Kneen, et al. discloses and claims N-(3-phenoxycinnamyl)acetohydroxamic acid, its salts and related compounds having utility for inhibiting lipoxygenase and cyclooxygenase enzymes.
European Patent Application 0 299 761 to Salmon, et at. discloses and claims certain (substituted phenoxy)phenylalkenyl hydroxamic acids and their salts which are useful as agents for inhibiting lipoxygenase and cyclooxygenase activity.

Additionally, the present invention contemplates compounds having the names above wherein the N-hydroxy hydrogen atom is replaced by a pharmaceutically acceptable cation, or a pharmaceutically acceptable metabolically cleavable group, as defined above.
Particularly preferred is the compound having the name N-hydroxy-N-{4-[5-(4-fluorophenoxy)-2-furyl]-3-butyn-2-yl}urea, its enantiomers and mixtures thereof, and its pharmaceutically acceptable salts.
Certain compounds of this invention may exist in stereoisomeric forms by virtue of the presence of one or more chiral centers. The present invention contemplates all such stereoisomers, including R- and S-enantiomers, diastereomers, and mixtures thereof as falling within the scope of the invention. If a particular enantiomer is desired, it may be prepared by chiral synthesis or by derivatization with a chiral auxiliary where the resulting diastereomeric mixture is separated and the auxiliary group cleaved to provide the pure desired enantiomers. Alternatively, where the molecule contains a basic functional group such as amino or an acidic functional group such as carboxyl, diastereomeric salts are formed with an appropriate optically active acid or base, followed by resolution of the diastereomers thus formed by fractional crystallization or chromatographic means well known in the art, and subsequent recovery of the pure enantiomers.
Certain compounds of the present invention may contain a basic functional group such as amino, alkylamino, or dialkylamino and are thus capable of forming salts with pharmaceutically acceptable acids. The term "pharmaceutically acceptable salts" in this respect, refers to the relatively non-toxic, inorganic and organic acid addition salts of compounds of the present invention. These salts can be prepared in situ during the final isolation and purification of the compounds or by separately reacting the purified compound in its free base form with a suitable organic or inorganic acid and isolating the salt thus formed. Representative salts include the hydrobromide, hydrochloride, sulfate, bisulfate, phosphate, nitrate, acetate, oxalate, valerate, oleate, palmitate, stearate, laurate, borate, benzoate, lactate, phosphate, tosylate, titrate, maleate, fumarate, succinate, tartrate, naphthylate, mesylate, glucoheptonate, lactiobionate, laurylsulphonate salts and the like. (See, for example S. M. Berge, et al., "Pharmaceutical Salts," J. Pharm. Sci., 66: 1-19 (1977) which is incorporated herein by reference.)
In other cases, the compounds may contain one or more acidic functional groups such as carboxyl and the like and are capable of forming salts with pharmaceutically acceptable bases. The term "pharmaceutically acceptable salts" in these instances refers to the relatively non-toxic, inorganic and organic base addition salts of compounds of the present invention. These salts can be likewise prepared in situ during the final isolation and purification of the compounds or by separately reacting the purified compound in its free acid form with a suitable base such as the hydroxide, carbonate or bicarbonate of a pharmaceutically acceptable metal cation or with ammonia, or an organic primary, secondary, or tertiary amine. Representative alkali or alkaline earth salts include the lithium, sodium, potassium, calcium, magnesium and aluminum salts and the like. Representative organic amines useful for the formation of base addition salts include ethylamine, diethylamine, ethylenediamine, ethanolamine, diethanolamine, piperazine, and the like. (See, for example S. M. Berge, et al., "Pharmaceutical Salts," J. Pharm. Sci., 66: 1-19 (1977) which is incorporated herein by reference.)
Lipoxygenase Inhibition Determination
Assays to determine 5-lipoxygenase inhibitory activity of representative compounds of the present invention were performed in 200 mL incubations containing the 20,000 xg supernatant from 1.5 million homogenized RBL-1 cells and various concentrations of the test compound. Reactions were initiated by addition of radiolabeled arachidonic acid and terminated by acidification and ether extraction. Reaction products were separated from nonconverted substrate by thin layer chromatography and measured by liquid scintillation spectroscopy. All incubations are performed in triplicate. Inhibition of 5-lipoxygenase activity was calculated as the ratio of the amount of product formed in the presence and absence of inhibitor. IC.sub.50 values (concentration of compound producing 50% enzyme inhibition) were calculated by linear regression analysis of percentage inhibition versus log inhibitor concentration plots. (Dyer, R. D.; Haviv, F.; Hanel, A. M.; Bornemier, D. A.; Carter, G. W. Fed. Proc., Fed. Am. Soc. Exp. Biol. 1984, 43, 1462A). Results for compounds of the foregoing examples are indicated in Table 1.

Inhibition of Leukotriene Biosynthesis
Inhibition of the biosynthesis of leuktrienes in vivo after oral administration of compound was determined using a rat peritoneal anaphylaxis model in a similar manner as that described by Young and coworkers (Young, P. R.; Dyer, R. D.; Carter, G. W. Fed. Proc., Fed. Am. Soc. Exp. Biol. 1985, 44, 1185). In this model rats were injected intraperitoneally (ip) with rabbit antibody to bovine serum albumin (BSA) and three hours later injected ip with BSA to induce an antgen-antibody response. Rats were sacrificed 15 minutes after this challenge and the peritoneal fluids were collected and analyzed for leukotriene levels. Test compounds were administered by gavage one hour prior to the antigen challenge. Percent inhibition values were determined by comparing the treatment group to the mean of the control group. From the results of this assay it is demonstrated that compounds of this invention are orally effective in preventing the in vivo biosynthesis of leukotrienes. The results are presented in Table 2.

Preparation of Compounds of this Invention
The compounds of this invention can be prepared from the appropriate starting monosubstituted acetylenes as is illustrated in Scheme 1. The starting monosubstituted acetylenes can be prepared by a number of different approaches as is understood by one skilled in the art. The anion of the starting acetylene is prepared using an appropriate base, and is treated with the nitrone prepared from acetaldehyde and 5-hydroxypentanal oxime. The resulting protected adduct is deprotected in situ, and acetylated with trimethylsilyl isocyanate to provide the desired hydroxyurea products. ##STR8##
Alternatively, compounds of this invention can be prepared by the general method outlined in Scheme 2. Starting from the appropriate monosubstituted acetylene, the propargylic alcohol can be prepared by metallation followed by reaction with an aldehyde. Subsequent replacement of the alcohol by a protected hydroxylamine function can be effected by a modified Mitsunobu process (Lee, B. H., Miller, M. J., J. Org. Chem., 48, 24-31 (1983) and references therein). Deprotection provides the hydroxylamine intermediate which is converted to the desired N-hydroxyurea. ##STR9##
A novel and preferred method to prepare N-hydroxyurea compounds of this invention is outlined in Scheme 3. In this procedure, the starting alcohol A--C.tbd.C--B--OH is treated with a mixture of triphenylphosphine, an azodicarboxylate diester, and the novel bis-carboxyhydroxylamine reagent R.sup.5 OCG.sup.1 ONHCG.sup.2 OR.sup.6 (where R.sup.5 is selected from aryl, C.sub.1 -C.sub.8 alkyl, aralkyl in which the alkyl portion contains from one to six carbon atoms, and 2,2,2-trichloro- or 2,2,2-trifluoroethyl and R.sup.6 is aryl and G.sup.1 and G.sup.2 are sulfur or oxygen) to provide an intermediate acetylenic bis- adduct which is subsequently converted to hydroxyurea. Preferred reactants are N,O-bis(carbophenoxy)-hydroxylamine (R.sup.5 .dbd.R.sup.6 .dbd.phenyl and G.sup.1 .dbd.G.sup.2 .dbd.O) referred to as CPHA, and N-(carbophenoxy)-O-(carbo-t-butoxy)hydroxylamine, referred to as PTBHA. Other preferred bis-carboxyhydroxylamine reagents useful in this process include the compounds synthesized by the methods detailed in Example 81-86 below, namely
N-carbo-(4-nitrophenoxy)-O-carbomethoxyhydroxylamine;
N,O-bis[phenoxy(thiocarbonyl)]hydroxylamine;
N,O-bis[carbo(4-chlorophenoxy)]hydroxylamine;
N,O-bis[carbo-(4-methylphenoxy)]hydroxylamine;
N-carbo-[phenoxy(thiocarbonyl)]-O-carbomethoxyhydroxylamine; and
(N-carbophenoxy-O-carbo-tert-butoxy)hydroxylamine.
The advantages of this novel reagent are principally derived from R.sup.6 being equal to aryl. The resulting aryl urethane can be directly converted to N-hydroxyureas by treatment with ammonia, ammonium hydroxide or amines, thereby providing a more efficient procedure to the desired products in good yield and under mild conditions. ##STR10##
The starting acetylenic alcohol, III, is reacted with the bis-carboxyhydroxylarmine in an aprotic organic solvent such as tetrahydrofuran, benzene, or methylene chloride in the presence of an azodicarboxylate at a temperature ranging between about -20.degree. C. and room temperature for a period sufficient to effect substantial conversion of the starting material to IV. The intermediate, IV, is treated under standard conditions to cleave the carbonate (OR.sup.5) to produce the N-hydroxyurethane, V, which is, in turn, converted by the action of the desired amine, RNH.sub.2 (or ammonia where R.dbd.H) to the desired product, VI. Alternatively, the starting material may be an acetylenic chloride, III, Alternatively, the starting material may be an acetylenic chloride, III, which is reacted with the biscarboxyhydroxylamine in the presence of an acid scavenger such as triethylamine.
Pharmaceutical Compositions
The present invention also provides pharmaceutical compositions which comprise compounds of the present invention formulated together with one or more non-toxic pharmaceutically acceptable carriers. The pharmaceutical compositions may be specially formulated for oral administration in solid or liquid form, for parenteral injection, or for rectal administration.
The pharmaceutical compositions of this invention can be administered to humans and other animals orally, rectally, parenterally, intracisternally, intravaginally, intraperitoneally, topically (as by powders, ointments, or drops), bucally, or as an oral or nasal spray. The term "parenteral" administration as used herein refers to modes of administration which include intravenous, intramuscular, intraperitoneal, intrasternal, subcutaneous and intraarticular injection and infusion.
Pharmaceutical compositions of this invention for parenteral injection comprise pharmaceutically acceptable sterile aqueous or nonaqueous solutions, dispersions, suspensions or emulsions as well as sterile powders for reconstitution into sterile injectable solutions or dispersions just prior to use. Examples of suitable aqueous and nonaqueous carriers, diluents, solvents or vehicles include water, ethanol, polyols (such as glycerol, propylene glycol, polyethylene glycol, and the like), and suitable mixtures thereof, vegetable oils (such as olive oil), and injectable organic esters such as ethyl oleate. Proper fluidity can be maintained, for example, by the use of coating materials such as lecithin, by the maintenance of the required particle size in the case of dispersions, and by the use of surfactants.
These compositions may also contain adjuvants such as preservative, wetting agents, emulsifying agents, and dispersing agents. Prevention of the action of microorganisms may be ensured by the inclusion of various antibacterial and antifungal agents, for example, paraben, chlorobutanol, phenol sorbic acid, and the like. It may also be desirable to include isotonic agents such as sugars, sodium chloride, and the like, Prolonged absorption of the injectable pharmaceutical form may be brought about by the inclusion of agents which delay absorption such as aluminum monostearate and gelatin.
In some cases, in order to prolong the effect of the drug, it is desirable to slow the absorption of the drug from subcutaneous or intramuscular injection. This may be accomplished by the use of a liquid suspension of crystalline or amorphous material with poor water solubility. The rate of absorption of the drug then depends upon its rate of dissolution which, in turn, may depend upon crystal size and crystalline form. Alternatively, delayed absorption of a parenterally administered drug form is accomplished by dissolving or suspending the drug in an oil vehicle.
Injectable depot forms are made by forming microencapsule matrices of the drug in biodegradable polymers such as polylactide-polyglycolide. Depending upon the ratio of drug to polymer and the nature of the particular polymer employed, the rate of drug release can be controlled. Examples of other biodegradable polymers include poly(orthoesters) and poly(anhydrides) Depot injectable formulations are also prepared by entrapping the drug in liposomes or microemulsions which are compatible with body tissues.
The injectable formulations can be sterilized, for example, by filtration through a bacterial-retaining filter, or by incorporating sterilizing agents in the form of sterile solid compositions which can be dissolved or dispersed in sterile water or other sterile injectable medium just prior to use.
Solid dosage forms for oral administration include capsules, tablets, pills, powders, and granules. In such solid dosage forms, the active compound is mixed with at least one inert, pharmaceutically acceptable excipient or carrier such as sodium citrate or dicalcium phosphate and/or a) fillers or extenders such as starches, lactose, sucrose, glucose, mannitol, and silicic acid, b) binders such as, for example, carboxymethylcellulose, alginates, gelatin, polyvinylpyrrolidone, sucrose, and acacia, c) humectants such as glycerol, d) disintegrating agents such as agar-agar, calcium carbonate, potato or tapioca starch, alginic acid, certain silicates, and sodium carbonate, e) solution retarding agents such as paraffin, f) absorption accelerators such as quaternary ammonium compounds, g) wetting agents such as, for example, cetyl alcohol and glycerol monostearate, h) absorbents such as kaolin and bentonite clay, and i) lubricants such as talc, calcium stearate, magnesium stearate, solid polyethylene glycols, sodium lauryl sulfate, and mixtures thereof. In the case of capsules, tablets and pills, the dosage form may also comprise buffering agents.
Solid compositions of a similar type may also be employed as fillers in soft and hard-filled gelatin capsules using such excipients as lactose or milk sugar as well as high molecular weight polyethylene glycols and the like.
The solid dosage forms of tablets, dragees, capsules, pills, and granules can be prepared with coatings and shells such as enteric coatings and other coatings well known in the pharmaceutical formulating art. They may optionally contain opacifying agents and can also be of a composition that they release the active ingredient(s) only, or preferentially, in a certain part of the intestinal tract, optionally, in a delayed manner. Examples of embedding compositions which can be used include polymeric substances and waxes.
The active compounds can also be in micro-encapsulated form, if appropriate, with one or more of the above-mentioned excipients.
Liquid dosage forms for oral administration include pharmaceutically acceptable emulsions, solutions, suspensions, syrups and elixirs. In addition to the active compounds, the liquid dosage forms may contain inert diluents commonly used in the art such as, for example, water or other solvents, solubilizing agents and emulsifiers such as ethyl alcohol, isopropyl alcohol, ethyl carbonate, ethyl acetate, benzyl alcohol, benzyl benzoate, propylene glycol, 1,3-butylene glycol, dimethyl formamide, oils (in particular, cottonseed, groundnut, corn, germ, olive, castor, and sesame oils), glycerol, tetrahydrofurfuryl alcohol, polyethylene glycols and fatty acid esters of sorbitan, and mixtures thereof.
Besides inert diluents, the oral compositions can also include adjuvants such as wetting agents, emulsifying and suspending agents, sweetening, flavoring, and perfuming agents.
Suspensions, in addition to the active compounds, may contain suspending agents as, for example, ethoxylated isostearyl alcohols, polyoxyethylene sorbitol and sorbitan esters, microcrystalline cellulose, aluminum metahydroxide, bentonite, agar-agar, and tragacanth, and mixtures thereof.
Compositions for rectal or vaginal administration are preferably suppositories which can be prepared by mixing the compounds of this invention with suitable non-irritating excipients or carriers such as cocoa butter, polyethylene glycol or a suppository wax which are solid at room temperature but liquid at body temperature and therefore melt in the rectum or vaginal cavity and release the active compound.
Compounds of the present invention can also be administered in the form of liposomes. As is known in the art, liposomes are generally derived from phospholipids or other lipid substances. Liposomes are formed by mono- or multi-lamellar hydrated liquid crystals that are dispersed in an aqueous medium. Any non-toxic, physiologically acceptable and metabolizable lipid capable of forming liposomes can be used. The present compositions in liposome form can contain, in addition to a compound of the present invention, stabilizers, preservatives, excipients, and the like. The preferred lipids are the phospholipids and the phosphatidyl cholines (lecithins), both natural and synthetic.
Methods to form liposomes are known in the art. See, for example, Prescott, Ed., Methods in Cell Biology, Volume XIV, Academic Press, New York, N.Y. (1976), p. 33 et seq.
Dosage forms for topical administration of a compound of this invention include powders, sprays, ointments and inhalants. The active compound is mixed under sterile conditions with a pharmaceutically acceptable carrier and any needed preservatives, buffers, or propellants which may be required. Opthalmic formulations, eye ointments, powders and solutions are also contemplated as being within the scope of this invention.
Actual dosage levels of active ingredients in the pharmaceutical compositions of this invention may be varied so as to obtain an amount of the active compound(s) that is effective to achieve the desired therapeutic response for a particular patient, compositions, and mode of administration. The selected dosage level will depend upon the activity of the particular compound, the route of administration, the severity of the condition being treated, and the condition and prior medical history of the patient being treated. However, it is within the skill of the art to start doses of the compound at levels lower than required for to achieve the desired therapeutic effect and to gradually increase the dosage until the desired effect is achieved.
Generally dosage levels of about 1 to about 50, more preferably of about 5 to about 20 mg of active compound per kilogram of body weight per day are administered orally to a mammalian patient. If desired, the effective daily dose may be divided into multiple doses for purposes of administration, e.g. two to four separate doses per day.

(a) 5-(4-fluorophenoxy)-2-furfuraldehyde: To a stirred suspension of pentane washed 80% sodium hydride (5.3 g, 177 mmol) in THF (200 mL) under argon was added p-fluorophenol (19.9 g, 177 mmol) in small portions as a solid. After gas evolution had ended the THF was removed by rotary evaporator. The crude phenoxide was redissolved in DMF (200 mL) and cooled to .about.0.degree. C.; to this stirred mixture was added 5-nitro furfuraldehyde (25 g, 177 mmol) as a DMF (50mL) solution via dropping funnel. During the addition the reaction mixture became very thick, requiring the addition of additional DMF (150 mL), removal from the ice bath and swirling. The addition was then continued to the stirred reaction mixture in the ice bath. After the addition the reaction mixture was stirred 0.5 h and poured into ice water. The mixture was extracted with ether (200 mL.times.8), the ether layers combined washed with 10% NaOH (3.times.100 mL), water (3.times.100 mL) and dried (MgSO.sub.4). The mixture was concentrated and the resulting solid was dissolved in ethyl acetate, treated with decolorizing carbon, filtered and concentrated. The solid obtained was recrystalized from ether/hexane to afford 25 g (68%) of desired aldehyde as a slightly yellow solid.

THF (200mL) solution of dibromo olefin (23.1 g, 63.81 mmol) under argon was added n-butyl lithium (51.0 mL, 127.62 mmol, 2.5M in hexanes). The reaction was stirred for 0.5 h at -78.degree. C. Aqueous ammonium chloride was added to the cold reaction; the ice bath removed and the reaction allowed to come to room temperature. The majority of THF was removed by rotary evaporator. The resulting mixture was partitioned between water and ether. The combined ether layers were dried (MgSO.sub.4) and concentrated. The residue was purified by flash column (SiO.sub.2) eluting with 100% hexanes to give 6.5 g (50%) of pure acetylene.
(d) 4-[5-(4-fluorophenoxy)-2-furyl]-3-butyne-2-ol: LDA was generated by the addition of n-butyl lithium (14.2 mL, 35.4 mmol, 2.5M in hexanes) to a stirred -78.degree. C. THF (100 t3,0 mL) solution of diisopropylamine (3.58 g, 35.4 mmol). The solution was warmed to -5.degree. C. (ice/methanol) and stirred for 0.5 h. To this stirred solution was added the acetylene (6.5 g, 32.2 mmol) obtained above as a THF solution via syringe. The reaction was stirred 0.5 h and acetaldehyde (3.11 g, 70.8 mmol) was added via syringe, the ice bath removed and the reaction warmed to room temperature. Water was added and most of the THF removed by rotary evaporator. The resulting mixture was partitioned between water and ethyl acetate. The combined ethyl acetate layers were dried (MgSO.sub.4) and concentrated. The residue was purified by flash column (SiO.sub.2) eluting with 30% ether/hexanes to give 6.39 g (81%) of the desired alcohol as a slightly yellow solid. 0.45 g (10%) of starting acetylene was also recovered. m.p.(ether/hexanes): 56.degree.-57.5.degree.
