FUSED RING DERIVATIVE HAVING MGAT-2 INHIBITORY ACTIVITY

TECHNICAL FIELD

The present invention relates to a compound having monoacylglycerol acyltransferase 2 (hereinafter, also referred to as “MGAT2”) inhibitory activity or its pharmaceutically acceptable salt, and a pharmaceutical composition including thereof.

BACKGROUND ART

Obesity is defined as an excessively high amount of body fat or adipose tissue in relation to lean body mass and recognized as a major risk factor for health problems. Body mass index (BMI) is a simple index of weight-for-height that is commonly used in classifying overweight and obesity in adult (age 15 and over) populations and individuals. It is defined as the weight in kilograms divided by the square of the height in meters (kg/m²). World Health Organization defines “overweight” as a BMI of 25 kg/m²or greater and “obesity” as a BMI of 30 kg/m²or greater. On the other hand, Japan Society for the Study of Obesity defines “obesity” as a BMI of 25 kg/m²or greater. This is because the number of obesity-related disorders including diabetes and dislipidemia increases in accordance with BMI, and the mean number of obesity-related disorders is 1.0 or greater at a BMI of 25 kg/m². World Health Organization reported that about 1600 million and at least 400 million people were classified as overweight and obesity around the world in 2005, respectively. Obesity is mainly caused by taking in more calories than using up in physical activity and daily life. The number of obese people has been increasing by taking in more food including high fat and/or sugar, and it is estimated that 700 million people or more would be diagnosed as obesity around the world in 2015. Diet therapy, exercise therapy, drug therapy, and so on are performed for treatment of obesity. In the drug therapy, drugs including orlistat, mazindol, and sibutramine are used. However, they are not satisfactory in both aspects of efficacy and side effects.

One of the causes for obesity is excessive intake of neutral fat. Neutral fat (triglycerol) taken in meals is decomposed into 2-monoacylglycerol and free fatty acids by the action of pancreatic lipase in the digestive tract, and they are absorbed by small intestinal epithelial cells. An acyl group is transferred from the free fatty acids to the 2-monoacylglycerol by the action of monoacylglycerol acyltransferase (MGAT). The diacylglycerol formed is further converted into neutral fat by the action of diacylglycerol acyltransferase (DGAT).

Three isoforms of MGAT, namely, MGAT1, MGAT2, and MGAT3 have been identified. Among them, MGAT2 and MGAT3 are highly expressed in the small intestine, and believed to be involved in fat absorption in the small intestine.

It has been reported that an experiment with MGAT2 knock-out mice has demonstrated that high-fat diet promotes expression of MGAT2 in the small intestine to increase the MGAT activity (Non-patent Document 1). In addition, reduction of weight gain caused by high-fat diet, suppression of induction of insulin resistance, reduction of increase of blood cholesterol, prevention of fatty liver formation or the like, and promotion of energy consumption have been found for MGAT2 knock-out mice (Non-patent Document 2).

Although compounds having MGAT2 inhibitory activity have been previously reported (Patent Documents 1 to 19, Non-patent Documents 3 to 13), compounds of the present invention as described below have not been disclosed.

A radiolabeled compound of the compounds represented by formula (I) or (I′) can be prepared using well-known methods in the art. For example, a tritium-labeled compound represented by formula (I) or (I′) can be prepared by introducing a tritium to a certain compound represented by formula (I) or (I′), through a catalytic dehalogenation reaction using a tritium. This method comprises reacting an appropriately-halogenated precursor of the compound represented by formula (I) or (I′) with tritium gas in the presence of an appropriate catalyst, such as Pd/C, and in the presence or absence of a base. The other appropriate method of preparing a tritium-labeled compound can be referred to “Isotopes in the Physical and Biomedical Sciences, Vol. 1, Labeled Compounds (Part A), Chapter 6 (1987)”.

The present invention encompasses those various solvates, cocrystals and crystal polymorphs. “Solvates” may be those wherein any numbers of solvent molecules (e.g., water molecules or the like) are coordinated with the compounds represented by formula (I) or (I′). When the compounds represented by formula (I) or pharmaceutically acceptable salts thereof are allowed to stand in the atmosphere, the compounds may absorb water, resulting in attachment of adsorbed water or formation of hydrates. Recrystallization of the compounds represented by formula (I) or (I′) or pharmaceutically acceptable salts thereof may produce crystal polymorphs. “Cocrystal” means that the compound represented by formula (I) or (I′) or salt thereof and a counter molecule are present in the same crystal lattice, and a cocrystal with any number of counter molecules may be formed.

The compounds represented by formula (I) or (I′) or pharmaceutically acceptable salts thereof may form prodrugs. The present invention also encompasses such various prodrugs.

Biological Test Examples for the compounds of the present invention are described below.

Preparation Example 1: Preparation of Recombinant Human MGAT2

A full-length human MGAT2 gene to which a Flag-tag had been added at the N-terminal was inserted into pFastBac (from Invitrogen). A recombinant baculovirus was produced in accordance with the protocol for a Bac-to-Bac baculovirus expression system (produced by Invitrogen), and Sf-9 cells were infected therewith. The cells were collected and sonicated, and then the membrane fraction was collected through centrifugation. Western blotting analysis with an anti-Flag antibody was performed for the membrane fraction to confirm expression, and the membrane fraction was used as a recombinant human MGAT2 enzyme solution.

Test Example 1: Measurement of Human MGAT2 Inhibitory Activity

Solutions of the compounds of the present invention in DMSO were each aliquoted into 0.2-μL portions in a 384-well polystyrene microplate produced by Corning Incorporated, and 5 μL of an enzyme solution prepared with an assay buffer (100 mmol/L phosphate buffer (pH 7.4) containing 2 mmol/L DTT) and 5 μL of a substrate solution (100 mmol/L phosphate buffer (pH 7.4), 30 μmol/L 2-Oleoylglycerol, 10 μmol/L Oleoyl-CoA) were added thereto, and the resultant was stirred and centrifuged, and incubated in a moist chamber at room temperature for 1 hour. After enzymatic reaction, 50 μL of a quenching solution (containing 0.2 μmol/L Diolein-d5, 0.4% formic acid, and 50% isopropanol) containing Internal Standard (IS) was added to terminate the reaction, and the resultant was sealed in a plate produced by Shimadzu GLC Ltd., and then stirred and centrifuged, and measurement was performed by using an electrospray ionization method with a RapidFire360 and Agilent 6550 Q-TOF mass spectrometer. Diolein as a reaction product (P) of 2-Oleoylglycerol as the substrate and an ammonium adduct ion of the IS were detected, and the peak intensity ratio, P/IS, was calculated from the peak heights to evaluate the inhibitory activity. Inhibitory activities with/without addition of enzyme were defined as Control (+)/Control (−), respectively, and the respective % inhibitions were defined as 0% inhibition and 100% inhibition. The inhibitory activity was calculated from formula below with TIBCO Spotfire (produced by TIBCO Software Inc.):

Inhibitory activity(%)=[1−{Sample−Control (−)}/{Control (+)−Control (−)}]*100 where Sample indicates a peak intensity ratio: P/IS, when the compound of the present invention was added.

The inhibitory activity results of the compounds of the present invention are shown in the following table. IC₅₀(nM) in the tables indicates a concentration exhibiting 50% enzyme inhibition.

Test Example 2: Metabolism Stability Test

Using commercially available pooled human hepatic microsomes, the compound of the present invention was reacted for a constant time, a remaining rate was calculated by comparing a reacted sample and an unreacted sample, thereby, a degree of metabolism of the compound of the present invention in liver was assessed.

A reaction was performed (oxidative reaction) at 37° C. for 0 minute or 30 minutes in the presence of 1 mmol/L NADPH in 0.2 mL of a buffer (50 mmol/L Tris-HCl pH 7.4, 150 mmol/L potassium chloride, 10 mmol/L magnesium chloride) containing 0.5 mg protein/mL of human liver microsomes. After the reaction, 50 μL of the reaction solution was added to 100 μL of a methanol/acetonitrile=1/1 (v/v) solution, mixed and centrifuged at 3000 rpm for 15 minutes. The compound of the present invention in the supernatant was quantified by LC/MS/MS, and a remaining amount of the compound of the present invention after the reaction was calculated, letting a compound amount at 0 minute reaction time to be 100%. (Result) Remaining rate was shown at 0.5 μmol/L of test compound.

Test Example 4: Phototoxicity Test

An erythrocyte photohemolysis test (Wolfgang J. W. Pepe et al., ATLA29, 145-162, 2001), which was an evaluation method using effect to biomembranes and photoperoxidation as indexes, was conducted as an In vitro phototoxicity test. In this method, a solution of the compound of the present invention was prepared with dimethylsulfoxide as a medium, to which a sheep erythrocyte solution in a ratio of 2.5% (v/v) with respect to the prepared solution was added, and the thus-obtained mixed solution (concentration: 0.1 to 0.0008%) was used. The mixed solution was added to two microplates, and one of the prepared microplates was irradiated with light in UVA and UVB regions (10 J/cm², 290 to 400 nm) by using an ultraviolet fluorescence lamp (GL20SE lamp, SANKYO DENKI Co., Ltd., and, FL20S-BLB lamp, Panasonic Corporation), and subjected to centrifugation together with the microplate without irradiation with light, and then the absorbance (540 nm or 630 nm) of the supernatant was measured. To determine two indexes (effect to biomembranes and photoperoxidation) for evaluation of phototoxicity, the absorbance of the medium was subtracted from the absorbance obtained from the compound of the present invention for each of the cases with and without irradiation with light, and the thus-calculated values were used for the subsequent calculations. With respect to effect to biomembranes, a photohemolysis rate was determined from the difference in absorbance (540 nm) between the case with irradiation with light and the case without irradiation with light, and, with respect to photoperoxidation, change in absorbance (630 nm) between the case with irradiation with light and the case without irradiation with light was determined. In calculation of a photohemolysis rate, the absorbance (540 nm) obtained from a 2.5% (v/v) sheep erythrocyte solution which had been subjected to forced hemolysis with distilled water was defined as the 100% photohemolysis rate and used as a reference. It was judged to be (−) when the photohemolysis rate was less than 10% and the change in the absorbance at 630 nm was less than 0.05. It was judged to be (+) when the photohemolysis rate was 10% or more and the change in the absorbance at 630 nm was 0.05 or more.

(Result)
Compound I-34: (−)
Test Example 5: Cytotoxicity Test

Cells after being exposed to the compound were automatically counted by using the cell image analyzer Toxinsight (Thermo Fisher Scientific) to evaluate the cytotoxicity of the compound of the present invention.

HepG2 cells (derived from human liver cancer cells) were seeded in a 384-well plate at 60000 cells/mL, and a solution of the compound was added to each well after 24 hours. The solution of the compound was a solution of the compound of the present invention in DMSO (five stage dilution from maximum concentration of 50 μmol/L to minimum concentration of about 3.1 μmol/L at 2 fold ratio), and a solution consisting only of DMSO was used as a negative control, and a solution of camptothecin was used as a positive control. The solution of the compound of the present invention in DMSO, the negative control solution, or the positive control solution was added to each well. After 71 hours, a solution of Hoechst 33342 diluted with Dulbecco's phosphate buffer solution (D-PBS) to a final concentration of 1 μg/mL was added to each well, and nuclear staining was performed in an incubator at 37° C. and 5% CO₂for 1 hour. After the staining, the resultant was fixed with 4% paraformaldehyde in a CO2 incubator at 37° C. for 20 minutes. Finally, the wells were washed by D-PBS three times, and nuclei with development of fluorescence were counted for each well by using a Toxinsight (Thermo Fisher Scientific). Four wells were assigned for one concentration, and the mean value and variation (SD) of nucleus counts (counts of cells for which toxicity was not found) in the four wells were calculated. Comparison was made with the negative control group, and an exposure concentration to the compound (IC₅₀) at which the mean value was lowered to less than 50% of the mean value for the negative control was calculated. A smaller IC₅₀value was rated as a higher risk of cytotoxicity.

Test Example 6: Anti-Obesity Effect Test

The anti-obesity effect of the compound of the present invention was examined by using C57BL/6j mice (DIO mice) provided with a high-fat diet (TestDiet; 58Y1).

Five-week-old male C57BL/6j mice (CLEA Japan, Inc.) were purchased, and grown with feeding of a high-fat diet under 12-hour light-dark cycles for 4 weeks to produce DIO mice. A medium (0.5% HPMC) was administered twice per day from 3 weeks before administration of the compound. Randomization was performed for grouping (n=7) on the basis of body weight and change in food consumption during the period of administration for conditioning. Forced oral administration of Example Compound or a medium (0.5% HPMC) was performed twice per day from Day 1 to Day 28. Body weight and food consumption were measured every day. Dissection was performed on Day 28, and measurement of the weight of epididymal fat and a biochemical test for the blood collected were conducted.

Test Example 11: Fluctuation Ames Test

Mutagenicity of the compound of the present invention was evaluated. 20 μL of freezing-stored rat typhoid bacillus (Salmonella typhimurium TA98 strain, TA100 strain) was inoculated on 10 mL of a liquid nutrient medium (2.5% Oxoid nutrient broth No. 2), and this was cultured before shaking at 37° C. for 10 hours. 8.0 mL of a bacterial solution of the TA98 strain was centrifuged (2000×g, 10 minutes) to remove a culturing solution. The bacteria was suspended in 8.0 mL of a Micro F buffer (K₂HPO₄: 3.5 g/L, KH₂PO₄: 1 g/L, (NH₄)₂SO₄: 1 g/L, trisodium citrate dihydrate: 0.25 g/L, MgSO₄.7H₂O: 0.1 g/L), the suspension was added to 120 mL of an Exposure medium (Micro F buffer containing Biotin: 8 ug/mL, histidine: 0.2 μg/mL, glucose: 8 mg/mL). The TA100 strain was added to 120 mL of the Exposure medium relative to 3.1 mL of the bacterial solution to prepare a test bacterial solution. Each 12 μL of DMSO solution of the compound of the present invention (several stage dilution from maximum dose 50 mg/mL at 2 to 3 fold ratio), DMSO as a negative control, and 50 μg/mL of 4-nitroquinoline-1-oxide DMSO solution for the TA98 strain, 0.25 μg/mL of 2-(2-furyl)-3-(5-nitro-2-furyl)acrylamide DMSO solution for the TA100 strain under the non-metabolism activating condition, 40 μg/mL of 2-aminoanthracene DMSO solution for the TA98 strain, 20 μg/mL of 2-aminoanthracene DMSO solution for the TA100 strain under the metabolism activating condition as a positive control, and 588 uL of the test bacterial solution (a mixed solution of 498 μL of the test bacterial solution and 90 μL of S9 mix under the metabolism activating condition) were mixed, and this was shaking-cultured at 37° C. for 90 minutes. 230 uL of the bacterial solution exposed to the compound of the present invention was mixed with 1150 μL of an Indicator medium (Micro F buffer containing biotin: 8 μg/mL, histidine: 0.2 μg/mL, glucose: 8 mg/mL, Bromo Cresol Purple: 37.5 μg/mL), each 50 pL was dispensed into microplate 48 wells/dose, and this was subjected to stationary culturing at 37° C. for 3 days. Since a well containing a bacterium which had obtained the proliferation ability by mutation of an amino acid (histidine) synthesizing enzyme gene turns from purple to yellow due to a pH change, the bacterium proliferation well which had turned to yellow in 48 wells per dose was counted, and was assessed by comparing with a negative control group. (−) and (+) means negative and positive in mutagenicity respectively.
