Description
BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION

1. Field of the Invention


The present invention relates to novel heterocyclic amide compounds having a Transient Receptor Potential Ankyrin 1 (TRPA1) antagonist activity and pharmaceutical compositions containing such a compound, as well as medicaments and methods useful for the prophylaxis or treatment of a disease involving TRPA1.


2. Discussion of the Background


Transient Receptor Potential Ankyrin 1 (TRPA1) is a non-selective cation channel belonging to the Transient Receptor Potential (TRP) channel superfamily. Like other members of the TRP channel family, it has 6 transmembrane domains and forms a tetramer consisting of 4 subunits. TRPA1 is a ligand dependent ion channel, which changes structure by the binding of ligand. As a result, the channel opens to allow intracellular flow of cations such as calcium ion, sodium ion and the like, thereby controlling the membrane potential of the cells. As the TRPA1 ligand, stimulant natural substances (e.g., allylisothiocyanate (AITC), cinnamaldehyde and the like), environmental stimulants (e.g., formalin, acrolein and the like), endogenous substances (e.g., 4-hydroxynonenal and the like) and the like are known (see Bandell M, et al., Neuron. 2004 Mar. 25; 41(6):849-57; Macpherson L J, et al., Nature. 2007 445(7127):541-5; and Trevisani M, et al., Proc Natl Acad Sci USA. 2007 104(33):13519-24, all of which are incorporated herein by reference in their entireties). It is known that the ligand is also activated by cold stimulation, intracellular Ca2+ and the like (see Bandell M, et al., Neuron. 2004 Mar. 25; 41(6):849-57, which is incorporated herein by reference in its entirety). Many ligands such as AITC, cinnamaldehyde and the like form a covalent bond with the cysteine residue and the lysine residue at the N-terminal in the cytoplasm, and activate the channel (see Macpherson L J, et al., Nature. 2007 445(7127):541-5, which is incorporated herein by reference in its entirety). In addition, intracellular Ca2+ is considered to bind to the N-terminal EF hand domain and opens the channel (see Zurborg S, et al., Nat Neurosci. 2007 10(3):277-9, which is incorporated herein by reference in its entirety). TRPA1 has been reported to be highly expressed in the sensory nerves such as spinal cord nerve, vagus nerve, trigeminal nerve and the like. TRPA1 has been reported to be co-expressed with perception•pain-related markers such as TRPV1, calcitonin gene related peptide (CGRP), substance P and the like (see Nagata K, et al., J Neurosci. 2005 25(16):4052-61; Story G M, et al., Cell. 2003 112(6):819-29; and Bautista D M, et al., Proc Natl Acad Sci USA. 2005 102(34):12248-52, all of which are incorporated herein by reference in their entireties). Therefore, it is considered that, once TRPA1 present in the sensory nerve is activated by various stimulations, channel opening and depolarization of the cellular membrane occur, neuropeptides (CGRP, substance P) are liberated from the nerve ending, and perception such as nociception and the like is transmitted.


In fact, it has been reported that TRPA1 gene knockdown by the gene specific antisense method improves hyperalgesia induced by inflammation and nerve damage in pain model (see Obata K, et al., J Clin Invest. 2005 115(9):2393-401, which is incorporated herein by reference in its entirety). Also, it has been reported that a pain behavior induced by formalin disappears in TRPA1 gene knockout mouse (see McNamara C R, et al., Proc Natl Acad Sci USA. 2007 104(33):13525-30, which is incorporated herein by reference in its entirety). From the above, TRPA1 is considered to play an important role in the nociceptive transmission, and is expected as a treatment target in pain-associated diseases such as nociceptive pain, neuropathic pain and the like.


TRPA1 is known to show high expression in the afferent sensory nerve projected on the gastrointestinal tract such as esophagus, stomach, large intestine and the like. It has been reported that TRPA1 knockdown decreases nociception reaction due to extension of stomach (see Kondo T, et al., Digestion. 2010; 82(3):150-5, which is incorporated herein by reference in its entirety), and large intestine hyperalgesia induced by AITC and 2,4,6-trinitrobenzenesulfonic acid (TNBS) is normalized in TRPA1 gene knockout mouse (see Cattaruzza F, et al., Am J Physiol Gastrointest Liver Physiol. 2010 298(1):G81-91, which is incorporated herein by reference in its entirety). From the above, TRPA1 is suggested to play an important role in the perception•nociception transmission in the gastrointestinal tract, and is expected to be effective for the treatment of digestive tract diseases such as functional dyspepsia, irritable bowel syndrome, erosive esophagitis, inflammatory bowel disease (Crohn's disease, ulcerative colitis), pancreatitis and the like.


Furthermore, TRPA1 plays a key role in the detection of a noxious substance in the trachea. It has been reported that TRPA1 gene knockout suppresses inflammation of the trachea in OVA model (see Caceres A I, et al., Proc Natl Acad Sci USA. 2009 106(22):9099-104, which is incorporated herein by reference in its entirety). Therefore, antagonism of TRPA1 is considered to be also useful for pulmonary diseases such as asthma, chronic coughing, COPD and the like.


As other diseases involving TRPA1, dermatic diseases such as pruritus, atopic dermatitis, burn and the like (see Xiao B, and Patapoutian A., Nat Neurosci. 2011 May; 14(5):540-2; and Wilson S R, et al., Nat Neurosci. 2011 May; 14(5):595-602, both of which are incorporated herein by reference in their entireties), inflammatory diseases such as burn, osteoarthritis to and the like (see McGaraughty S, et al., Mol Pain. 2010 Mar. 5; 6:14, which is incorporated herein by reference in its entirety), bladder diseases such as overactive bladder abnormal urination•cystitis and the like (see Andersson K E, et al., BJU Int. 2010 October; 106(8):1114-27, which is incorporated herein by reference in its entirety), neurological diseases such as anticancer agent-induced neuropathy and the like (see Nassini R, et al., Pain. 2011 July; 152(7):1621-31, which is incorporated herein by reference in its entirety) and the like are known. Thus, a compound capable of functional regulation of TRPA1 is industrially and therapeutically useful in many aspects. In particular, a compound that antagonizes TRPA1 is highly expected as a new therapeutic drug for pain diseases, digestive tract diseases, lung diseases, dermatic diseases, inflammatory diseases, bladder diseases and neurological diseases in human.


As a TRPA1 antagonist, a compound of the following formula has been reported (see WO 2010/141805, which is incorporated herein by reference in its entirety):

2-Mercaptothiazole (0.12 g, 1.0 mmol) was suspended in conc. sulfuric acid (5 mL), and the suspension was cooled to −15° C. Aqueous sodium hypochlorite solution (10% chlorine, 11 mL) was slowly added while adjusting the titration rate such that the temperature in the reaction was within the range from −15° C. to 10° C., and the mixture was warmed to 0° C., and stirred for 1 hr. Water (10 mL) was added to the reaction mixture, and the mixture was extracted three times with dichloromethane. The dichloromethane layer was washed with water and dried over sodium sulfate. The desiccant was filtered off, and the solvent was evaporated to give a crude product (0.16 g) of thiazol-2-ylsulfonyl chloride. The obtained sulfonyl chloride was dissolved in acetonitrile (5 mL), L-proline tert-butyl ester hydrochloride (0.19 g, 0.90 mmol) and triethylamine (0.21 mL, 1.5 mmol) were added, and the mixture was stirred at room temperature overnight. Ethyl acetate was added to the reaction mixture, the mixture was washed successively with 1 mol/L aqueous hydrochloric acid solution, saturated aqueous sodium hydrogen carbonate and saturated brine, and the organic layer was dried over sodium sulfate. The desiccant was filtered off, and the solvent was evaporated. Trifluoroacetic acid (3 mL) was added to the obtained residue, and the mixture was stirred at room temperature for 2 hr. The solvent was evaporated to give the title compound (0.10 g, 0.38 mmol, 97%).

Synthesis of (2S)-1-[(4-fluorophenyl)sulfonyl]-N-{[4-(phenoxymethyl)phenyl]methyl}pyrrolidine-2-carboxamide (82)

To A-6 (0.027 g, 0.10 mmol) and C-5 (0.033 g, 0.10 mmol), WSC hydrochloride (0.037 g, 0.20 mmol) and HOAt (0.027 g, 0.20 mmol) were added triethylamine (42 μL, 0.30 mmol) and dichloromethane (1 mL), and the mixture was stirred at room temperature for several hours. The solvent was evaporated, and the obtained residue was purified by high performance liquid chromatography (water-acetonitrile, each containing 0.1% trifluoroacetic acid) to give the title compound (0.010 g, 0.021 mmol, 21%).

Experimental Example 1
Measurement of TRPA1 Antagonist Activity
Human TRPA1 Expression Plasmid

As cDNA encoding human TRPA1 (GenBank accession No. NM0078332), a commercially available product was purchased (manufactured by Kazusa DNA Research Institute, clone No.: pFN21AB7348, item No.: FHC07217). Using this as a template, full-length human TRPA1 gene was amplified using the primer sequences shown below, by reaction using DNA polymerase (manufactured by Stratagene, trade name: PfuUltra High-Fidelity DNA Polymerase).

A recognition site (underlined) of restriction enzyme HindIII was added to the 5′ side, and XbaI site (underlined) was added to the 3′ side, and GTT of the template sequence was changed to termination codon TAG (bold). The obtained double stranded DNA was enzyme-digested with HindIII and XbaI, and introduced into a multicloning site of expression plasmid pcDNA3.1/zeo(+) (manufactured by Invitrogen) to give a human TRPA1 expression plasmid.


Cell Preparation

Human embryonic kidney-derived 293T cells were cultured in Dulbecco's Modified Eagle Medium containing 10% fetal bovine serum, 10 unit penicillin, and 10 μg streptomycin, plated on a petri dish having a diameter of 10 cm at 3×106 cells, and cultured for 24 hr. A medium containing a reduced amount of serum (manufactured by Invitrogen, trade name: OPTI-MEM, 600 μL), a gene insertion reagent (manufactured by Mirus Bio, trade name: Mirus TransIT-293, 18 μL), and human TRPA1 expression plasmid (6 μg) were mixed, the total amount of the mixture was added to the cells on the petri dish to allow for gene transfer. The cells were recovered about 8 hr later, plated on a poly-D-lysine coated 384 well black/clear bottom plate at 7,500-12,000 cells/well, and cultured overnight.


Measurement of Intracellular Calcium Increase

The 384 well plate was recovered, and the medium was removed. A calcium-bonded fluorescent indicator (manufactured by Molecular Device, trade name: Calcium4 Assay Kit, 40 μL) dissolved in assay buffer (1×HBSS, 20 mM HEPES, pH 7.2) was added, and the cells were stained in a 37° C. incubator for 1 hr. The cells were taken out at room temperature and left standing for 15 min or more. A test substance (10 μL) was added by a 384 well type dispenser, and the mixture was incubated at room temperature for 10 min. Then, allylisothiocyanate (12.5 μL) at a final concentration of 20 μM was added by a fluorescence imaging plate reader (manufactured by Molecular Device, FLIPR), and changes in the relative fluorescence intensity were measured for 5 min.


Test Substance Preparation

The test substance was dissolved in dimethyl sulfoxide and serially diluted with an assay buffer containing 0.1% bovine serum albumin (1×HBSS, 20 mM HEPES, pH 7.2) to a 5-fold concentration of the evaluation concentration. Allylisothiocyanate, which is a known TRPA1 activator, was dissolved in dimethyl sulfoxide to 100 mM, and further diluted 5-fold (100 μM) of the final concentration, like the test substance.


Calculation of Antagonist Activity

Under the test substance-free conditions, the maximum variation range of the fluorescence intensity before and after allylisothiocyanate stimulation was defined to be 100% activity rate, and the variation range before and after buffer stimulation was defined as 0% activity rate. The activity rate on addition of the test substance was determined, and the numerical value obtained by subtracting the activity rate from 100 was defined to be an inhibitory rate. 1050, which is the concentration of the test substance necessary for reaching the 50% inhibitory rate, was calculated from the sigmoid approximate curve by a spreadsheet software Excel-Fit.


The results are shown in Tables 61-63. As shown, the compounds of the present invention exhibited a superior TRPA1 antagonist activity.

Experimental Example 2
AITC-Induced Pain Behavior Evaluation Test

To evaluate the effectiveness of the test substance in vivo, allylisothiocyanate (AITC)-induced pain behavior evaluation test was performed using mice.


AITC is a selective agonist of the TRPA1 channel, and causes a pain behavior by TRPA1 activation when administered to animal. Therefore, the intensity of the TRPA1 antagonist action of the test substance in the living body can be evaluated by measuring the pain behavior after AITC administration.


1. Administration of Test Substance to Animal

As the animal, male ICR mice (6- to 8-week-old) are used. The mice are fasted the previous day of the test. The test substance is intraperitoneally or orally administered for evaluation. In the case of intraperitoneal administration, the substance is administered 30 min before the AITC administration. In the oral administration, the substance is administered 60 min before the AITC administration.


2. AITC-Induced Pain Behavior Evaluation

AITC (0.1%) is subcutaneously administered to the sole of the left leg of mouse, and the time when the mouse shows a behavior of licking the sole of the leg (Licking time) in 5 min immediately after the AITC administration is measured.


3. Calculation of Inhibitory Rate

The licking time of the vehicle administration group in each test is taken as 100%, and the activity rate by administration of each test substance (Licking time on test substance administration/Licking time of vehicle administration group×100) is determined, and the numerical value obtains by subtracting the activity rate from 100 is calculated as an inhibitory rate.


By the above-mentioned method, it can be confirmed that the compounds of the present invention have a superior TRPA1 antagonist activity, is superior in vivo kinetics, and shows superior efficacy in animal model.


The effectiveness of the compound of the present invention was confirmed by the above-mentioned evaluation test.
