TECHNICAL FIELD

The present invention relates to hydroxamic acid derivatives, the methods for preparation thereof and inhibitors of interleukin-6 production comprising thereof, as an active ingredient.

More particularly, it relates to (1) inhibitors of IL-6 production comprising hydroxamic acid derivatives of the formula (I)

(wherein all the symbols have the same meaning as defined hereinafter), non-toxic salts thereof and prodrugs thereof, as an active ingredient,

(2) novel hydroxamic acid derivatives of the above formula (I), non-toxic salts thereof and prodrugs thereof and

(3) the methods for preparation of hydroxamic acid derivatives of the above formula (I), non-toxic salts thereof and prodrugs thereof.

BACKGROUND

Cytokine is a multifunctional factor which plays an important role in the host defense system of living body and it relates to various life phenomena. However, there are many diseases which may be caused by overproduction thereof or overresponse thereto.

IL-6 is a cytokine produced from various cells, e.g. T cells, B cells, macrophages, kidney mesangial cells, fibroblasts, and its various physiological effects are known e.g. induction of B cells differentiation to antibody-producing cells, activation of T cells, increase of platelets, and production of acute phase protein from liver cells. But an abnormal production of IL-6 has been observed in various inflammations, autoimmune diseases and neoplastic diseases and it is suggested that IL-6 plays a certain role in the causes of such pathophysiological situations. In the experiment using an animal model in which IL-6 was forcibly expressed, various types of diseases could be observed and such results strongly suggest the existence of relationship between the abnormal production of IL-6 and the cause of certain diseases (Biochem. J., 265, 621 (1990), Immunol. Today, 11, 443 (1990), J. Autoimmun., 5 Suppl A, 123 (1992), Clin. Immunol. Immunopathol., 62, S60 (1992)).

Therefore inhibition of IL-6 production is expected to improve various kinds of diseases such as inflammatory diseases as a representative. The present invention is targeted for the cytokine and provides novel medicines through inhibiting the production thereof.

Clinical application of the compounds of the present invention involves those diseases which may be caused and be changed to worse by abnormal production of IL-6 or by overresponse to them. Inhibitors of IL-6 production may be used for the prevention and/or treatment of various inflammatory diseases, sepsis, multiple myeloma, plasma cell leukemia, osteoporosis, cachexia, psoriasis, nephritis, renal cell carcinoma, Kaposi's sarcoma, rheumatoid arthritis, hypergammaglobulinemia, Castleman's disease, atrial myxoma, diabetes mellitus, autoimmne diseases, hepatitis, colitis, graft versus host disease, infectious diseases and endometriosis (J. Immunol., 145, 4185 (1990), J. Exp. Med., 172, 1505 (1990), J. Clin. Invest., 87, 739 (1991), J. Clin. Invest., 89, 1681 (1992), EMBO J., 13, 1189 (1994), Hematol. Oncol. Clin.

(1) The Measurement of an Inhibitory Activity on IL-6 Production from A549 Cells

[Method]

1.5×10

4

of A549 cells (human lung epithelial cell line) were suspended in 100 μL of Dulbecco's Modified Eagle Medium (DMEM) containing 0.5% fetal bovine serum (abbreviated as FBS) and incubated for a day and night in 96 well-microplate. 20 μL of the test compound dissolved in dimethylsulfoxide (DMSO) at various concentrations and 80 μL of tumor necrosis factor-α (TNF-α (Genzyme Co., cat. No. TNF-H)) dissolved in serum-free DMEM at the concentration of 12.5 ng/mL were added thereto. After the incubation for 24 hours, the supernatant (100 μL) was collected to measure the amount of IL-6 being produced using enzyme linked immuno solvent assay (ELISA) (R&D Systems Co., cat. No. D6050). Then the inhibitory activity of the test compound was calculated and the 50% inhibitory concentration (IC

50

) was determined. For example, the IC

50

value of the compound of example 3 was 0.052 μM.

(2) The Measurement of an Inhibitory Activity on IL-6 Production from Human Synovial Cells

[Method]

3.0×10

3

of synovial cells from rheumatoid arthritis patients were suspended in 200 μL of DMEM containing 10% FBS and incubated for a day and night in 96 well-microplate, followed by the incubation for 5 hours in serum-free DMEM. 20 μL of the test compound dissolved in DMSO at various concentrations and 80 μL of interleukin-1β (IL-1β (Genzyme Co., cat. No. 80-3688-01)) dissolved in DMEM containing 2.5% fetal bovine serum at the concentration of 5 ng/mL were added thereto. After the incubation for 24 hours, the supernatant (100 μL) was collected to measure the amount of IL-6 being produced using ELISA (R&D Systems Co., cat. No. D6050). Then the inhibitory activity of the test compound was calculated and the 50% inhibitory concentration (IC

50

) was determined. For example, the IC

50

value of the compound of example 3 was 0.041 μM.

(3) The Effect on Collagen-induced Arthritis Model in Rats

[Method]

Eight weeks old female DA rats were used. During the experimental period, they were housed in animal room artificially kept the room temperature of 24±2° C., humidity of 55±5%, and 12 hours interval of light and dark cycle. They had free access to a standard solid pellet chow (CE-2, Japan CLEA) and drinking tap water, and were used for the experiment after a week acclimation. The collagen-induced arthritis was performed by the following method. After the mixing of bovine type II collagen (0.3% collagen solution, KOKEN #K41, lot. 11214, abbreviated as CII), incomplete Freund's adjuvant (DIFCO #0639-60) and saline with the ratio of 1:2:1, the mixture was then ultra-sonicated to form emulsion for 20 seconds×3 times at 1 minute interval. The intradermal injection of 0.1 mL of the emulsion (0.75 mg of CII/mL) was performed on each four different portions of the back on day 0. A week after the first immunization, arthritis was elicited by the intradermal injection of 0.15 mL of the emulsion at the basal portion of the tail. The test compound was suspended in 0.5% carboxymethylcellulose solution, and was administered orally in the morning and evening twice a day from day 0 to day 28. According to the method of Osterman T. et al. (Inflamm. Res., 44, 258-263, 1995), the severity of arthritis was judged and scored. The hind paw volume of each animal was also measured with the plethysmometer (UNICOM, TK-101CMP). For example, 10 mg/kg/day (b.i.d.) of the compound of the example 3 completely inhibited the development of arthritis, and the example 3 even at the dose of 3 mg/kg/day showed significant inhibition by approximately 60% on the arthritis score and the hind paw edema.

[Toxicity]

The toxicity of the compounds of formula (I) of the present invention, nonoxic salts thereof or prodrugs thereof is very low and therefore the compounds may be considered safe for pharmaceutical use.

[Application for Pharmaceuticals]

The mixture was cooled to room temperature and the crystal precipitated. The precipitated crystal was filtered and washed with a solution of hexane and ethyl acetate (hexane:ethyl acetate=1:1). The filtrate was concentrated. The obtained residue was used in the preparation of (−) isomer. The precipitated crystal was dissolved into ethyl acetate and washed with 1N hydrochloric acid, water and a saturated aqueous solution of sodium chloride and dried over anhydrous magnesium sulfate and concentrated to give (+) isomer of the title compound (2.44 g, 92.4% e.e, HPLC) having the following physical data.
