Hypoglycemic agent

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION

[0001] The present invention relates a hypoglycemic agent having a hypoglycemic effect and also an activity of inhibiting acetyl CoA carboxylase (hereinafter referred to ACC).

[0002] Diabetes is a diseases caused by various factors such as overeating, lack of exercise, stress and hereditary factors. The number of the patients suffering from diabetes is increasing as the life of the people is improved. At present, the number of diabetes cases is so large that this disease is called “a national disease” in Japan. Diabetes is classified into two types, i.e. insulin dependent diabetes mellitus (IDDM) and non-insulin dependent diabetes mellitus (NIDDM). In Japan, at least 90% of diabetes cases is NIDDM. Patients suffering from NIDDM scarcely have the subjective symptoms and when the patients are found to suffer from this disease, the disease has already progressed in many cases. In such a case, a suitable therapy is required for avoiding complications.

[0003] For the treatment of NIDDM, dietetic therapy or kinetotherapy is employed at first. By such a therapy, the effects such as reduction in obesity, increase in the insulin sensitivity and reduction of insulin requirement in peripheries and reduction of endogenous insulin requirement can be expected. As a result, the blood glucose level can be controlled. However, in many cases, a sufficient effect in reducing the blood glucose level cannot be obtained by the dietetic therapy or kinetotherapy. In such cases, the patients are treated with medicines.

[0004] Hypoglycemic agents known at present include insulin preparations, insulin secretion accelerators, α-glycosidase inhibitors, biguanide and glitazone compounds. Depending on the pathological conditions of the patients, a medicine is given alone or in combination with other medicines having different action mechanisms.

[0005] In the background of NIDDM onset, it is considered to be important to solve the obesity caused by excess in vivo energy due to overeating and lack of exercise and also insulin resistance induced thereby. In the above-described medicines, glitazone compounds, capable of reducing the blood glucose level by releasing the insulin resistance, attract the greatest attention.

[0006] Glitazone compounds induce the differentiation of fat cells by activating PPARγ which is one of intranuclear receptors, and thus improve insulin resistance of peripheral tissues and exhibit the pharmaceutical effect. However, these compounds have strong side effects, and a serious hepatopathy including cases of death was reported. Further, because these compounds accelerate the differentiation of fat cells, the fat accumulation is accelerated to induce the obesity. Also in clinical cases, reduction or weakening of the pharmaceutical effect of them by the increase in the body weight or accumulation of fats was also reported.

DISCLOSURE OF THE INVENTION

[0007] The treatment with the above-described hypoglycemic agents is not yet satisfactory and, in addition, the glitazone compounds which attract the attention are also not yet perfect because of the above-described side effects. Under these circumstances, an object of the present invention is to develop a new hypoglycemic agent having a hypoglycemic effect equal to or superior to the effects of the conventional medicines and free from the side effects unlike the glitazone compounds.

[0008] After intensive investigations made for the purpose of solving the problems, the inventors have found a new hypoglycemic agent and also a new agent having the hypoglycemic effect and also acetyl CoA carboxylase-inhibiting activity. The present invention has been completed on the basis of this finding.

[0009] The detailed description will be made on the present invention.

[0010] ACC is an enzyme catalyzing the synthesis of malonyl CoA from acetyl CoA. ACC is a rate limiting enzyme in the biosynthesis of long-chain fatty acids. It is known that malonyl CoA synthesized from acetyl CoA with ACC controls carnitine acyltransferase concerning the oxidation of free long-chain fatty acids as the energy sources. Further, it is considered that ACC activation participates in the activation in the synthesis of fatty acids in visceral adipose tissues.

[0011] Therefore, when ACC activity is inhibited, the biosynthesis of long-chain fatty acids in vivo is also suppressed and the metabolism is accelerated to reduce the amount of long-chain fatty acids in vivo and, as a result, the biosynthesis of triglycerides is controlled.

[0012] Thus, the hypoglycemic agent of the present invention is very effective in preventing and treating diabetes because of its direct effect of reducing the blood glucose of diabetes patients and also indirect effect of controlling the accumulation of visceral fats by the ACC inhibition effect.

[0013] An example of the hypoglycemic agents and also hypoglycemic agents further having ACC inhibiting activity is acylsulfonamide derivatives of the following general formula (I):

DESCRIPTION OF THE PREFERRED EMBODIMENTS

[0020] When the hypoglycemic agent containing the acylsulfonamide derivative of above general formula (I) as the active ingredient is administered to human beings, the effective dose thereof varies depending on the symptoms and age of the patient.

[0042] wherein R1, R2, R3, Y and ring A are as defined above, and X represents halogen atom, such as chlorine or bromine atom, succinimido group or imidazolyl group.

[0043] (The First Step)

[0044] In this step, an aminosulfonamide compound of formula (II) is condensed with a carboxylic acid of formula (III) to form a sulfonamide compound of formula (IV).

[0045] The reaction in this step can be carried out by a process wherein a condensing agent such as carbonyldiimidazole, dicyclohexylcarbodiimide or 1-ethyl-3-(3-dimethylaminopropyl)carbodiimide hydrochloride is used; a process wherein a carboxylic acid of formula (III) is converted into a corresponding acid halide with a halogenating agent such as thionyl chloride or phosphorus pentachloride and condensing it in the presence of an appropriate base; or a process wherein a carboxylic acid of formula (III) is converted into an acid anhydride with p-toluenesulfonyl chloride, ethyl chlorocarbonate, pivaloyl chloride or the like and then the acid anhydride is condensed in the presence of an appropriate base.

[0046] In carrying out the reaction, it is desirable that the aminosulfonamide compound of formula (II) and the carboxylic acid of formula (III) are used in almost equimolar amounts. Although the reaction temperature and the reaction time are not generally limited because they vary depending on the kind of the compounds, the intended compound can be obtained in a high yield by carrying out the reaction at a temperature ranging from about 0° C. to around the boiling point of the solvent used for about 0.1 to 25 hours. The amount of the condensing agent is preferably about 1.2 equivalents per equivalent of the carboxylic acid of formula (III) to be reacted.

[0047] The bases usable herein include alkali metal hydrides such as sodium hydride and potassium hydride; alkali metal hydroxides such as sodium hydroxide and potassium hydroxide; alkali metal carbonates such as sodium carbonate and potassium carbonate; alkali metal hydrogencarbonates such as sodium hydrogencarbonate and potassium hydrogencarbonate; alkali metal alkoxides such as sodium methoxide, sodium ethoxide, potassium methoxide and potassium tert-butoxide; trialkylamines such as trimethylamine and triethylamine; and organic bases and inorganic bases such as pyridine, dimethylaminopyridine, picoline and lutidine. The base is used in an amount of 1 to 10 equivalents per equivalent of the carboxylic acid compound.

[0048] In this step, the reaction can be carried out in an inert solvent. The solvents include ethers such as diethyl ether, tetrahydrofuran (THF) and dioxane; aromatic hydrocarbons such as benzene, toluene and xylene; hydrocarbons such as cyclopentane and cyclohexane; halogenated hydrocarbons such as dichloromethane, dichloroethane, trichloroethane and chloroform; nitriles such as acetonitrile and propionitrile; esters such as ethyl acetate; N,N-dimethylformamide and dimethyl sulfoxide; and mixtures of them with water.

[0049] (The Second Step)

[0050] In this step, a sulfonamide compound of formula (IV) is reacted with an acyl compound of formula (V) in the presence of a base to produce an acylsulfonamide compound of formula (I).

[0051] In formula (V) for the acyl compounds used in this step, X represents a halogen atom such as chlorine or bromine atom, succinimido group or imidazolyl group.

[0052] The bases usable in step 2 are the same as those usable in step 1. The amount of the base is preferably 1 to 10 equivalents per equivalent of the carboxylic acid compound.

[0053] For the reaction, the sulfonamide compound of formula (IV) and the acyl compound of formula (V) are preferably used in nearly equimolar amounts. Although the reaction temperature and the reaction time are not generally limited because they vary depending on the kind of the compounds, the intended compound can be obtained in a high yield by carrying out the reaction at a temperature ranging from about 0° C. to around the boiling point of the solvent for about 0.1 to 25 hours.

[0054] The reaction can be carried out in an inert solvent. The inert solvents may be the same as those in step 1.

[0055] The intended acylsulfonamide derivatives of the above general formula (I) can be obtained by suitably combining the above-described reactions. If necessary, the reaction solution can be purified by an ordinary purification means such as filtration, decantation, extraction, washing, distillation of the solvent, column chromatography, thin-layer chromatography, recrystallization or distillation.

[0441] A solution of 2.40 g (10.0 mmol) of 4-(4-fluoro)phenylethynylbenzoic acid and 2 ml of thionyl chloride in benzene (30 ml) was heated under reflux for 2 hours. Then the solvent was evaporated under reduced pressure. The residue was dissolved in methylene chloride (30 ml). The obtained solution was added dropwise to a solution of 1.72 g (10.00 mmol) of 2-aminobenzenesulfonamide in pyridine (50 ml) under cooling with ice. The mixture was stirred at room temperature for 18 hours and then methylene chloride was evaporated under reduced pressure. The residue was dissolved in ethyl acetate and then the obtained solution was washed with 1 N aqueous hydrochloric acid solution, water and saturated aqueous sodium chloride solution in that order. After drying over anhydrous sodium sulfate, the solvent was evaporated under reduced pressure. The residue was recrystallized from ethyl acetate-hexane to obtain 3.08 mg (yield: 78.2%) of the title compound.

[0464] Effect of accelerating the glucose uptake in cultured skeletal muscle cells: Method: Rat skeletal muscle cell strain “L6 cells” in a confluent state was cultured in DME medium containing 2% of fetal calf serum for one week to differentiate into myotubes. The medium was replaced with the DME medium containing a compound synthesized in each of the above Reference Examples. After culturing overnight followed by the thorough washing with HEPES buffer solution, an HEPES buffer solution containing 37 kBq/ml of 10 μM [3H]-2-deoxyglucose (2DG) was added thereto. After the culture at 37° C. for 10 minutes, the radioactivity of 2DG transmigrated into the cells was determined. The effect (%) of each compound on 2DG uptake was determined as compared with that in the control group. The results are shown in Table 1.
