Description
TECHNICAL FIELD

The present invention relates to a novel hydroxamate derivatives, more specifically, to novel hydroxamate derivatives having inhibitory activity against Histone Deacetylase (HDAC), isomers thereof, pharmaceutically acceptable salts thereof, hydrates or solvates thereof, use for preparing pharmaceutical compositions, pharmaceutical compositions comprising the same, treatment method using said composition, and a preparing method of novel hydroxamate derivatives.


BACKGROUND ART

The compounds according to the present invention are used to inhibit or treat HDAC mediated diseases. Examples of those diseases are cell proliferative diseases such as cancers, autosomal dominant disorders such as Huntington's disease, gene-related metabolic diseases including fibrosis such as cystic fibrosis, hepatic fibrosis, renal fibrosis, pulmonary fibrosis and dermatofibrosis, autoimmune disease such as rheumatoid arthritis, acute or chronic neurologic diseases such as diabetes and stroke, hypertrophy such as cardiac hypertrophy, hemorrhagic heart failure, amyotrophic lateral sclerosis, glaucoma, eye diseases (related with the neovascularization) and Alzheimer's disease, but the present invention is not limited thereto.


Control for transcription of cells is complicated biological process. One basic principle is control by deformation after the translation of histone proteins H2A/B, H3 and H4 forming histone octamer core complex. Such a complicated N-terminus deformation of lysine residue by an acetylation or methylation, and of serine residue by phosphorylation forms a portion of so-called “histone code”(Strahl & Ellis, Nature 403, 41-45, 2000).


As a simple model, acetylation of positive-charged lysine residue decreases affinity to negative-charged DNA, thereby, into which transcription factor can enter easily.


Histone acetylation and deacetylation are promoted by histone acetyl transferase (HAT) and histone deacetylase (HDAC) respectively. HDAC associates with transcription inhibitor complex, and changes the same into silent structure, which is inactive for chromatin transcription (Mark etc., Nature cancer Rev. 1, 189-202, 2001). HAT associating with transcription activation factor complex is the opposite. There are three different HDACs, namely, group I (HDAC 1-3, 8; Mr=42-55 kDa) which is located in nucleus, and sensitive to inhibition by trichostatin A (TSA), group II (HDAC 4-7, 9, 10; Mr=120-130 kDa) showing TSA sensitivity, and group III (Sir2) which is differentiated by NAB+ dependency and TSA insensibility.


Histone deacetylase (HDAC) inhibitors become a new trend of anticancer drugs doing cell differentiation and apoptosis. Influencing to histone (protein) acetylation and chromatin structure deacetylation by targeting histone deacetylation induces the reprogramming of complicated transcription, for example, reactivation of tumor suppressor gene and suppression of oncogene. There are important non-histone targets for the cancer biology such as heat shock protein (HSP90), tubulin or p53 tumour suppressor protein other than bringing about acetylation of N-terminus lysine residue in core histone protein. Therefore, medical use of HDAC inhibitor is not restricted for anti-cancer therapy since HDAC inhibitor shows effectiveness for inflammatory diseases, rheumatoid arthritis and neurodegenerative disease in an animal model.


HDAC inhibitors known up to now can be classified by four kinds according to their structure, namely, 1) short chain fatty acid (butyric acid, valproic acid), 2) hydroxamic acids (trichostatin A, SAHA, LBH-589), 3) cyclic peptides (desipeptide) and 4) benzamide (MS-275, MGCD-0103) (International Journal of Onocology 33, 637-646, 2008). These many of HDAC inhibitors (SAHA, LBH-589 and MS-275) induce inhibition of growth, differenciation and apoptosis for various transformed cells in culture medium as well as in animal models (Marks, P. A et. al., Curr Opin Oncol. 2001. 13. 477-483), and some HDAC inhibitors such as SAHA, LBH-589 and MS-275 are appraised for the purpose of treatment of various cancers (Johnstone, R. W Nat. Rev. Drug Discov. 2002 1. 287-299). Presently, representative compounds of HDAC inhibitors are, SAHA (US771760, Zolinza, Vorinostat), PXD101 (WO 02/30879, Belinostat) and LBH-589 (WO 02/22577, Panobinostat), which are hydroxamate compounds, and MS-275 (EP8799) and MGCD0103 (WO 04/69823), which are benzamide compounds. Among them, SAHA was approved on October 2006 and has been used for the treatment of CTCL (cutaneous T-cell lymphoma). Diseases for which medicine is efficacious have been additionally expanded, but are known for its lack of effectiveness and side effects (Cancer Res 2006, 66, 5781-5789).


Accordingly, in spite that many HDAC inhibitors have been reported up to now, a novel HDAC inhibitor that is more selective, less side effects and effective is required in the art in order to overcome the lack of effectiveness and side effects (Mol Cancer Res, 5, 981, 2007)

Protocol of Experiment: Activity Test for the Compound of the Present Invention
Experimental Example 1
Screening of the Inhibition Against HDAC Enzyme Activity (In Vitro)
1. HDAC Enzyme Activity Test

HDAC enzyme activity was measured with HDAC Fluorimetric Drug Discovery Kit (BML-AK511, 516) from Enzo Life Science Co. Human recombinant HDAC1 (BML-SE456) was used as a source of enzyme, and Fluor de Lys®-SIRT1 (BML-KI177) was used as a substrate. To 96-wells plate were added the compound, which had been diluted 5 times. Then, 0.3 μg of enzyme and 10 μM of substrate per well were added, reacted at 30° C. for 60 minutes. Thereto, Fluor de Lys® Developer II (BML-KI176) was added and reacted for 30 minutes. After the completion of the reaction, fluorescence level (Ex 360, Em 460) was measured with muti-plate reader (Flexstation 3, Molecular Device). With regard to HDAC6 enzyme, the test was performed using human recombinant HDAC6 (382180) from Calibiochem Co. as a source of enzyme by the same protocol as for the measurement for HDAC1 enzyme activity. From the data, the respective IC50 were calculated by GraphPad Prism 4.0 program.


2. Western Blot Analysis

For the Western blot analysis, HH (cutaneous T cell lymphoma) cells were added by 3.0×106 cells per well in RPMI-1640 culture medium (6-well plate), treated with test materials, and cultured in 5% CO2 incubator at 37° C. for 24 hours. The culture medium was removed, and the cells were washed with PBS, and to each well was added 400 μM of ice-cold lysis buffer (20 nM Tris-HCl, pH 7.5, 1 mM EGTA, 1 mM Na2 EDTA, 150 mM NaCl, 1% Triton X-100, 1 mM PMSF, 1 μg/mL leupeptin, 2.5 mM sodium pyrophosphate, 1 mM β-glycerophosphate, and 1 mM Na3VO4).


Protein concentration of cell lysate was determined with BSA protein assay (Pierce), and 30 μg of protein per lysate was electrophoresed in 4-12% Bis-Tris gel and then, transferred into nitrocellulose membrane. As primary antibody, acetylated α-tubulin (1:1000, Sigma-aldrich), acetylated histon H3 (1:1000, Millipore) and β-actin (1:2000, SantaCruz) were attached to the membrane, and labeled with HRP-conjugated anti-mouse IgG or anti-rabbit IgG (1:5000, SantaCruz) as a secondary antibody, and then detected with ECL (GE Healthcare).

3. Results

The object of the present invention is to develop a compound that can inhibit selectively HDAC6 among 11 HDAC isyzymes and shows few adverse effects. Therefore, the compound should exhibits excellent inhibition effect against HDAC6, but not against other HDAC isozymes than HDAC6.


For the test, LBH-589 (Novartis), ITF2357 (Italfarmaco), ACY-161-89 (Acetylon) and CKD-581 (CKD), which are under clinical trial, were used as control compounds. As shown in Table 11, LBH-589 inhibits strongly all of eleven (11) HDAC isozymes, while compound 87 inhibits strongly just HDAC6 (its IC50 was 0.013 μM), but does not inhibit other HDAC isozymes, such as HDAC1 (its IC50 was 11.17 μM), except HDAC6. Among 11 HDAC isozymes, HDAC1 induces the most severe adverse effect. From the data of Table 11, the analysis result of the selectivity for HDAC6 over HDAC1 shows that LBH-589 is only 1.2 times, while compound 87 is more than 800 times (0.013 μM of IC50 against HDAC6; 11.17 μM of IC50 against HDAC1). It is clear that compound 87 has excellent inhibition effect against HDAC6 and the selectivity for HDAC6 over HDAC1.


From the data of Table 12, the analysis result of the selectivity for HDAC6 over HDAC1 shows that compound 237 is more than 219 times (17.81 nM of IC50 against HDAC6; 3,906 nM of IC50 against HDAC1) and compound 290 is more than 2,900 times (2.19 nM of IC50 against HDAC6; 6,406 nM of IC50 against HDAC1). So, it is clear that they have also excellent inhibition effect and low adverse effect.


In order to confirm HDAC6 (Tubulin acetylation) and HDAC1 (Histone acetylation), western blotting was performed in HH (cutaneous T cell lymphoma) cell. As like the results of enzyme assay, HDAC1 (Histone acetylation) was not expressed, but HDAC6 (Tubulin acetylation) was expressed. So, the selectivity is confirmed in cell-based assay also.


Experimental Example 2
Effectiveness of Compound 87 in a Collagen-Induced Arthritis Model

1. Experimental Animal


7-week aged male DBA1J mice were used in the experiment. The animal facility was kept at constant temperature and constant humidity with a 12-hr dark/12-hr light cycle, and the animals were allowed to access food and water ad libitum. The animals were acclimated to the cage for 7 days.


2. Administration Group


Each arthritis-onset animals were selected and then promptly used in the experiments. The experimental animal groups consist of:

    • A. two vehicle-control groups administered with only vehicle via s.c. (subcutaneous injection) and p.o. (per oral),
    • B. a positive control group administered with ITF2357 of 50 mg/kg, and
    • C. two compound test groups administered with compound 87 in each doses of 10 and 50 mg/kg.


3. Administration of Drug


A solution of ITF2357 for administration was prepared using 0.5% methylcellulose as a vehicle. It was administered orally to the animals in a volume of 10 ml/kg once a day for 7 days. A solution of compound 87 for administration was prepared using DMSO as a vehicle just before administration. It was administered in a volume of 2 ml/kg via s.c. once a day for 7 days. Two vehicle-control groups were administered with only vehicle once a day for 7 days via s.c. and p.o. separately.


4. Experimental Method


Bovine type 2 collagen (Chondrex) and complete Freund's adjuvant (Chondrex) are mixed in 1:1 to become an emulsion. Each 0.1 ml of the obtained emulsion was injected to the tail of each mouse intradermally. After 21 days, Bovine type 2 collagen (Chondrex) and incomplete Freund's adjuvant (Chondrex) are mixed in 1:1 to become an emulsion. Each 0.1 ml of the obtained emulsion was injected to the hips of each mouse intradermally for boosting. After boosting, feet of the mice were observed once a day. When clinical score was occurred, the drug administration and its evaluation were started. The criterion of clinical score was according to Experimental Example 3.


5. Statistical Processing


All the results were expressed as mean±SEM, and each test group and the control groups (vehicle-control group or positive control group) were compared using one-way ANOVA test (Dunnett's test, p<0.001) with GrapicPad Prism 5.0 program.


6. Experimental Result


The results are shown in FIG. 2. The effectiveness in a collagen-induced arthritis model was evaluated with clinical score. The clinical score shows the level of arthritis progress. The higher score means more severe level of the arthritis symptom.


In the case of administration of compound 87 of 10 mg/kg (i.e., 10 mpk), the clinical score was decreased by 44%, compared with the positive control group (i.e., the group administered with ITF2357 of 50 mg/kg). In the case of compound 87 of 50 mpk, it was decreased by 68%, compared with the positive control group. So, the excellent anti-arthritis effect of compound 87 was confirmed. Its very low adverse effect was also confirmed from no observation of body-weight loss. The compound shows anti-arthritis effect at low dose of 10 mpk, and the effect is dose-dependant.


Experimental Example 3

1. Experimental Animal

6-week aged male DBA1J mice were used in the experiment. The animal facility was kept at constant temperature and constant humidity with a 12-hr dark/12-hr light cycle, and the animals were allowed to access food and water ad libitum. The animals were acclimated to the cage for 7 days.


2. Administration Group

Each arthritis-onset animals were selected and then promptly used in the experiments. The experimental animal groups consist of

    • A. a vehicle-control group administered with only vehicle once a day via s.c. (subcutaneous injection),
    • B. a compound test group administered with compound 237 in dose of 15 mg/kg q.d. (once a day) via s.c.,
    • C. a compound test group administered with compound 237 in dose of 15 mg/kg b.i.d. (twice a day) via s.c., and
    • D. a compound test group administered with compound 237 in dose of 30 mg/kg q.d. via s.c.


3. Administration of Drug

A solution of compound 237 for administration was prepared using Cremophore EL:Ethanol:Saline=1.5:1.5:7 as a vehicle just before administration. It was administered in a volume of 5 ml/kg via s.c. with each doses of 15 and 30 mg/kg once or twice a day.


4. Experimental Method

Bovine type 2 collagen (Chondrex) and complete Freund's adjuvant (Chondrex) are mixed in 1:1 to become an emulsion. Each 0.1 ml of the obtained emulsion was injected to the tail of each mouse intradermally for immunization. After 21 days, Bovine type 2 collagen (Chondrex) and incomplete Freund's adjuvant (Chondrex) are mixed in 1:1 to become an emulsion. Each 0.1 ml of the obtained emulsion was injected to the hips of each mouse intradermally for boosting. After boosting, the mice were divided in each groups, and administered with compound 237 or only vehicle according to the administration schedule. Their body weights and clinical scores were evaluated three times per week.


5. Determination of Clinical Score

From each four feet of a mouse, the clinical scores were evaluated according to the following criterion and added together thereby to determine the clinical score of the mouse (normal, 0; and the most severe edema, 16).


0: normal;


1: observing edema in company with erythema in ankle joint or in tarsal bone joint, but no severe;


2: observing edema in company with erythema connected from ankle joint to tarsal bone joint, but no severe;


3: observing edema in company with erythema connected from ankle joint to metatarsal joint; and


4: observing severe edema in company with erythema connected from ankle joint to toe, or observing sclerosis of leg joint.


6. Statistical Processing

All the results were expressed as mean±SEM, and the experimented groups were compared with each other using one-way ANOVA test (Dunnett's test, p<0.001).


7. Experimental Result

The results are shown in FIG. 3. The higher clinical score means more severe level of the arthritis symptom. In the case of administration of compound 237 of 15 mpk (q.d.), the clinical score was decreased by 7%, compared with the control group (i.e., the group administered with only vehicle). In the case of compound 237 of 15 mpk (b.i.d.), it was decreased by 53%, compared with the control group. In the case of compound 237 of 30 mpk (q.d.), it was decreased by 65%, compared with the control group. Therefore, it is clear that compound 237 has the dose-dependant and excellent anti-arthritis effect. During the administration of drug, body-weight loss or toxic side effect was not observed, so it is clear that compound 237 is safe.
