Imidazopyridine derivatives and their use

FIELD OF THE INVENTION
The present invention relates to imidazopyridine derivatives and their use. Particularly, it relates to imidazo[1,2-a]pyridine derivatives which are useful as medicines and a calmodulin inhibitor containing the same.
BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION
Recently, various cerebrovascular or cardiovascular ischemic diseases have been increased with increasing in population of people of advanced age. At present, as one of medicines for treating these diseases, a calcium channel blocker has been widely used clinically and, therefore, cerebrovascular disorders caused by hypertension are decreased. However, it is said that cardiac ischemic disorders are not decreased, and development of medicines having superior mechanism of activities has been desired.
On the other hand, it has been reported that chlorpromazine having an inhibitory activity to calmodulin which is an intracellular calcium-binding protein is effective for experimental ischemic disorders [G. E. Thomas, S. Levitsky and H. Feinberg, J. Med. Cell Cardiol., 15, 621 (1983); J. I. Dahlager and T. Bilde, Scand. J. Urol Nephrol., 10, 126 (1976); and K. R. Chien, J. Adams, R. G. Plan and J. L. Farber, Am. J. Pathol., 88, 539 (1977)], and it is also said that calmodulin plays an important role in ischemic disorders [S. W. Schaffer, R. S. Roy and J. M. McMcord, Eur. Heart J., 4 (Suppl. H), 81 (1983)]. However, phenothiadines such as chlorpromazine have a strong central depressant activity and, therefore, there is a drawback in the use thereof as a medicine for circulatory system. Therefore, development of a more superior calmodulin inhibitor has been desired.
There are lot of reports relating to imidazo[1,2-a]pyridine derivatives. However, there is few reports about pharmacological activities of compounds wherein a hydrocarbon having a functional group is bound at the 5-position through S, S(O), S(O).sub.2, O or N. For example, European Patent Application P87108189.9 reports such compounds as starting materials for synthesis of cephem compounds. Japanese Patent Liad Open Publication Nos. 277393/1987 and 10792/1988 report them as cephem compounds. EP-A-6614 and DE2820938 report them as hypotensors. However, none of them discloses calmodulin inhibitory activity.
OBJECTS OF THE INVENTION
Under these circumstances, the present inventors have intensively studied about activities and synthesis of imidazo[1,2-a]pyridine derivatives wherein a hydrocarbon group having a functional group is bound at the 5-position through S, S(O), S(O).sub.2, O or N. As a result, certain derivatives having excellent calmodulin inhibitory activities have been found. Thus, the present invention has been completed.

Another aspect of the present invention to provide novel angiogenesis inhibitors.
It is well known that angiogenesis occurs in normal physiologic conditions of human or mammal such as embryogenesis and ovulation or placentation caused by female sexual cycle, wound healing, restoration process of inflammation, and in various morbidity wherein blood capillaries rapidly form and increase to cause serious damage to tissue and the like shown as follows. As the diseases caused by such a pathologic increase of blood capillaries, for example, there have been known diabetic retinopathy, retrolental fibroplasia, angiogenesis accompanying keratoplasty, glaucoma, opthalmic tumor and trachoma and the like in the opthalmologic field; psoriasis, suppurative granuloma and the like in the dermatologic field; angioma, fibrous angioma and the like in the pediatric field; hypergenic cicatrix, granulation and the like in the surgical field; arthritis rhuematica, edematous sclerosis and the like in the medical field; atherosclerosis and the like in cardiac diseases; various tumors and the like.
Particularly, a lot of people become blindness by abnormal increase of anglogenesis in diabetic retinopathy and trachoma. Further, a lot of people suffer from breakage of cartilage by abnormal angiogenesis in a joint due to arthritis rheumatica. Accordingly, it is requested to develop a compound useful as a medicine for treatment or prevention of diseases accompanying such an abnormal increase of angiogenesis. Furthermore, it is considered that rapid growth and extension of a tumor is caused by vascularization induced by an angiogensis factor which is produced by tumor cells. Therefore, it is expected that an angiogenesis inhibitor becomes a new medicine for treatment of various tumors and studies on angiogenesis inhibitors have been started [J. Folkman, Advance in Cancer Research, 43, 175 (1985), edited by George Klein and Sidney Weinhouse].
It has already been known that angiogenesis is inhibited by using heparin or heparin fragment in combination with a so-called "angiostatic steriod" (angiogenesis inhibiting steroid) such as cortison and the like [J. Folkman et al., Science, 221, 719 (1983); J. Folkman et al., Annals of Surgery, 206, 374 (1981)].
Further, it has been recognized that angiogenesis inhibitory activity is synergistically exhibited by using sulfated .alpha., .beta., and .gamma.-cyclodextrin, particularly, .beta.-cyclodetrin tetradecasulfate or heparin in combination with an angiostatic steroid as described above, fumagillin, a collagen synthesis inhibitor or the like [D. Ingber and J. Folkman, Laboratory Investigation, 59, 44 (1988)].
On the other hand, U.S. Pat. No. 4,599,331 discloses that anglogenesis inhibitory activity is observed by using asteroid (etianic acid derivative) alone. However, this steroid has also strong adrenocorticosteroid hormone activity and, therefore, there is a large dufficulty to use it as a medicine.
There has been a lot of reports concerning imidazo[1,2-a]pyridine derivatives. However, there are few reports of a pharamacological activity concerning a compound wherein an alkylthio group having a functional group is bound at 5-position thereof. Particularly, regarding such a compound having a carbamate ester as the functional group, only 5-(2-tert-butoxycarbonylaminoethylthio)imidazo[1,2-a]pyridine and 5-[2-(N-chloroacetylcarbamoyloxy)ethylthio]imidazo[1,2-a]pyridine are reported as a starting material of synthesis of cephem compounds having exoellent antibacterial activity in European Patent Application P87108189.9. However, there is no description about a pharmacological activity thereof.
Under these circumstances, the present inventors have synthesized various imidazo[1,2-a]pyridine derivatives having a substituent at 5-position and intensively studied their pharmacological activities. As a result, it has been found that some of them have excellent angiogenesis inhibitory activities.

Experiment 4'
Effect of the desired compound on inhibition of increse in intracellular calcium concentration by phorbol ester
Bovine aorta endotherial cells (BAE cells) were cultivated on a cover glass loaded with 4 .mu.M Flar 2 (manufactured by Dojin Kagaku Kenkyusho) and inserted into a quartz cuvette containing 2.5 ml of HEPES buffer (pH 7.5).
The quartz cubette was fixed so that the cover glass was positioned on the diagonal side at angles of 45.degree. to the incident direction of an excited light.
Fluormetry was conducted with a spectrophotofluorometer F-4000 (manufactured by Hitachi Seisakusho K.K.). Excitation was obtained at 340 nm and 380 nm and fluorescence of 505 nm was recorded.
Fmax was determined by Ionomicine (2 .mu.M, manufactured by Carbairochen Co.) which was a calcium ionophore and Fmin was determined by EGTA (8 mM) which was a chelating agent of calcium ion.
Intracellular calcium ion concentration [Ca.sup.++ ]i was calculated by the following formula:
[Ca.sup.++ ]i=Kd.times.(R-Rmin).times.Sf.sub.2 /(Rmax-R).times.Sb.sub.2
R={D(W.sub.1)-AutoF.sub.1 }/{D(W.sub.2)-AutoF.sub.2 }
wherein D (W.sub.1): a measured value of excited wavelength W.sub.1 ; D (W.sub.2): a measured value of excited wavelength W.sub.2 ; AutoF.sub.1 : autofluorescence at W.sub.1 ; AutoF.sub.2 : autofluorescence at W.sub.2 ; Rmin: R (Ca.sup.++ =0)=Fmin (W.sub.1)/Fmin (W.sub.2); Rmax: R (saturated Ca.sup.++ concentration)=Fmax (W.sub.1)/Fmax (W.sub.2); Sf.sub.2 : fluorescence intensity in a free state at W.sub.2 ; Sb.sub.2 : fluorescenec intensity in Ca.sup.++ bound state at W.sub.2, which was obtained by correcting the formula of Zehn et al.:
[Ca.sup.++ ]i=Kd.times.(F-Fmin)/(Fmax-F)
by taking Kd as 224 nM.
The experiment was conducted by adding a test compound at various concentrations to a solution in a cuvette and incubated for 5 minutes. Then, 12-O-tetradecanoylphorbol 13-acetate (TPA) of 2 nM in the final concentration was added and change of fluorescence intensity was observed.
It was found that the test compunds inhibited increase in intracellular calcium concentration by phorbol ester (TPA).
Change of inhibitory activity due to change of the concentration of Compound 1' is shown in Table 2'.
