Description

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION

1. Field of the Invention

This invention relates to compounds, to processes of their preparation, to pharmaceutical compositions containing them and to their medical use as agonists at kappa opioid receptors.

2. Reported Developments

Opium and its derivatives are potent analgesics that also have other pharmacological effects, and exert their effects by interacting with high-affinity receptors.

It has been shown by investigators that there are at least three major opioid receptor types in the central nervous system (hereinafter CNS) and in the periphery. These receptors, known as mu (.mu.), delta (.delta.) and kappa (.kappa.), have distinct pharmacological profiles, anatomical distributions and functions. �See, for example: Wood, P. L., Neuropharmacology, 21, 487-497, 1982; Simon, E. J., Med. Res. Rev., 11, 357-374, 1991; Lutz et at, J. Recept. Res. 12, 267-286; and Mansour et al, Opioid I, ed. Herz,. A. (Springer, Berlin) pp. 79-106, 1993.! The .delta. receptors are abundant in CNS and mediate analgesia, gastrointestinal motility and various hormonal functions. The .mu. receptors bind morphine-like drugs and mediate the opiate phenomena associated with morphine, including analgesia, opiate dependence, cardiovascular and respiratory functions, and several neuroendocrine effects.

The .kappa. receptors have a wide distribution in CNS and mediate a spectrum of functions including the modulation of drinking, water balance, food intake, gut motility, temperature control and various endocrine functions. They also produce analgesia. �See, for example: Leander et al, J. Pharmacol. Exp. Ther. 234, 463-469, 1985; Morley et al, Peptides 4, 797-800, 1983; Manzanares et al, Neuroendocrinology 52, 200-205, 1990; and Iyengar et al, J. Pharmacol. Exp. Ther, 238, 429-436, 1986.!

Most clinically used opioid analgesics such as morphine and codeine act as .mu. receptor agonists. These opioids have well-known, undesirable and potentially dangerous dependence forming side effects. Compounds which are .kappa.-receptor agonists act as analgesics through interaction with .kappa. opioid receptors. The advantage of these agonists over the classical .mu. receptor agonists, such as morphine, lies in their ability to cause analgesia while being devoid of morphine-like behavioral effects and addiction liability.

A large number of classes of compounds which act as agonists at .kappa. opioid receptors have been described in the art including the following illustrative classes of compounds.

U.S. Pat. No. 4,065,573 discloses 4-amino-4-phenylcyclohexane ketal compounds having analgesic activity.

U.S. Pat. No. 4,212,878 discloses phenylacetamide derivatives having analgesic properties and reduced physical dependence liability properties, relative to morphine and methadone.

U.S. Pat. No. 4,145,435 discloses N-(2-amino-cycloaliphatic)-phenylacetamide compounds having analgesic activity and narcotic antagonist activity.

U.S. Pat. No. 4,098,904 discloses N-(2-amino-cycloaliphatic)-benzoamides and naphthamides useful for relieving pain.

U.S. Pat. No. 4,359,476 discloses substituted cycloalkane-amides useful as analgesic and having low abuse liability.

U.S. Pat. No. 4,438,130 discloses 1-oxa-, aza- and thia-spirocyclic compounds having analgesic activity, low physical dependence and abuse liability properties and little dysphoric inducing properties.

U.S. Pat. No. 4,663,343 discloses substituted naphthalenyloxy-1,2-diaminocyclohexyl amides as analgesics.

U.S. Pat. No. 4,906,655 discloses 1,2-cyclohexylaminoaryl amides having high kappa-opioid affinity, selectivity and potency and useful as analgesics, diuretics, anti-inflammatory and psychotherapeutic agents.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION

Peripherally-acting .kappa. agonists can be prepared by the attachment of polar groups to non-peptide .kappa. opioid receptor selective agonists, such as the arylacetamides. In designing the peripherally-acting ligands, the introduction of the polar groups may result in either retention or enhancement of antinociceptive potency and selectivity and also may increase the polarity of the ligand sufficient to reduce or eliminate CNS penetration across the blood-brain barrier (BBB). Thus, the identity and the positioning of the polar group(s) are important.

Using the prototypic arylacetamide, U50,488, as an example, the arylacetamide pharmacophore can be divided into three regions: the aromatic region, the central region, and the amine region. All three regions represent potential positions for the attachment of polar groups. ##STR11##

Compounds of formula (I) of the present invention are made as follows.

A series of novel compounds were made based on the class of arylacetamides reported by Glaxo (J. Med. Chem. 1993, 36, 2075). Specifically, compound 1 can be deprotected to yield intermediate 2, which can be derivatized by the attachment of a variety of polar groups (Scheme 1). ##STR12##

The 3'-substituted series can be prepared via Scheme 2. The reduction of the Schiff base intermediate formed during the cyclization to 6 is expected to be stereoselective due to the directing effect of the neighboring hydroxymethyl group. Both intermediates 11 and 12 can be derivatized to confer peripheral selectivity.

The 5'-substituted series can be prepared via Schemes 3 and 4. Starting from N-t-Boc-O-MEM-D-serine, the 5'-(S) series can be prepared, and starting from from N-t-Boc-O-MEM-L-serine allows the preparation of the 5'-(R) series. ##STR13## wherein Ar, R.sub.1, R.sub.2, and n are defined in formula I. ##STR14## wherein Ar, R.sub.1, R.sub.2, and n are as defined in formula I. ##STR15## wherein Ar, R.sub.1, R.sub.2, and n are as defined in formula I. ##STR16## wherein Ar, R.sub.1, R.sub.2, and n are as defined in formula I.

Intermediate 12 can be treated with methanesulfonyl chloride to produce Methyl-�4-(3,4-dichlorophenyl)acetyl-2R-(N-methanesulfonamido)aminomethyl-3R-(1-pyrrolidinyl)methyl!-1-piperazinecarboxylate (31). Intermediate 12 can be coupled to 2S-isothiocyanato-succinic acid-dibenzyl ester and deprotected to yield Methyl-{4-�3,4-dichlorophenyl!acetyl-3R-�1-pyrrolidinyl!methyl-2R-�N-(succinic acid-2S-thioureido)!aminomethyl}-1-piperazinecarboxylate (32). Intermediate 21 can be treated with t-butyl bromoacetate and deprotected to produce Methyl-�2S-(O-2-acetic acid)hydroxymethyl-4-(3,4-dichlorophenyl)acetyl-5R-(1-pyrrolidinyl)methyl!-1-piperazinecarboxylate (33).

Intermediate 22 can be treated with methanesulfonyl chloride to produce Methyl-�4-(3,4-dichlorophenyl)acetyl-2S-(N-methanesulfonamido)aminomethyl-5R-(1-pyrrolidinyl)methyl!-1-piperazinecarboxylate (35). Intermediate 22 can be coupled to 2S-isothiocyanato-succinic acid-dibenzyl ester and deprotected to yield Methyl-{4-�3,4-dichlorophenyl!acetyl-5R-�1-pyrrolidinyl!methyl-2S-�N-(succinic acid-2S-thioureido)!aminomethyl}-1-piperazinecarboxylate (36). The 2R isomers of 33-34 and 35-36 can be prepared from intermediates 24 and 25, respectively to produce Methyl-�2R-(O-2-acetic acid)hydroxymethyl-4-(3,4-dichlorophenyl)acetyl-5R-(1-pyrrolidinyl)methyl!-1-piperazinecarboxylate (37).

Compounds of formula II of the present invention are made by peripheralization by substitutions of the benzo portion of the tetrahydronaphthyl ring of DuPont series of compounds with polar groups. ##STR18## Starting material or precursors of the starting material are commercially available and thus allows regiospecific substitutions of the tetrahydronaphthyl ring (Scheme 5). While 5-hydroxytetralone, 6-hydroxytetralone, 7-hydroxytetralone, and 7-aminotetralone derivatives are readily available, 5-aminotetralone could be prepared from 5-hydroxytetralone (J. Org. Chem. 1972, 37, 3570).

The tetralone derivatives can be converted to dihydronaphthyl derivatives and subjected to chemistry similar to that employed in the preparation of U50,488 derivatives.

General procedure for DCC/pyr coupling. With stirring at 25.degree. C. under N.sub.2, DCC (2.06 eq) and CH.sub.2 Cl.sub.2 were added to a mixtureof the acid (2 eq) and pyridine (2.06 eq) in CH.sub.2 Cl.sub.2. After 1-2 min, a solution of the amine (1 eq) in CH.sub.2 Cl.sub.2 was added, and the mixture was stirred at 25.degree. C. under N.sub.2 overnight. The final concentration of the mixture is around 0.1-0.3 mM with respect to the amine. Sat'd. NaHCO.sub.3 (2 mL) was added to destroy excess active esters before the mixture was filtered through celite, and the DCU was washed with CH.sub.2 Cl.sub.2. The filtrate was then partitioned between sat'd NaHCO.sub.3 and CH.sub.2 Cl.sub.2, which was dried (Na.sub.2 SO.sub.4), filtered through celite, and evaporated. Toluene was added to azeotrope off pyridine before the crude product was chromatographed and converted to the HCl salt.

In a method aspect the present invention provides method to treat hyperalgesia by applying an amount of a compound or composition to a mammal to ameliorate or eliminate pain. Thus, the method of the present invention comprises a method of treating pain internally or externally present in the mammalian body including: internal injuries, such as causedby accident or surgical procedures; abnormal functioning of body organs; irritation associated with inflammation following local infection, blisters, boils, or acute skin injuries, such as abrasions, bums, superficial cuts, surgical incisions, toothaches, contusions, irritations,inflammatory skin conditions, including but not limited to poison ivy, and allergic rashes and dermatitis and any condition that yields a hyperalgesic pain state and other such conditions.

Assessment of Anti-hyperalgesic Activity

The pharmacological activity of the compounds of the present invention may be assessed by several art-recognized in vitro and in vivo models. Some ofthe typical models are described herein.

(a) In vitro binding assay (Primary Screen).sup.14

The initial test of these compounds is �.sup.3 H!diprenorphine binding to the cloned human kappa receptor. The compounds that inhibit binding by at least 80% at 1 .mu.M are titrated and K.sub.i values are determined by Cheng-Prusoff transformations of IC.sub.50 values. The IC.sub.50 value is the concentration of inhibitor that inhibits binding of radiolabel by 50% and the K.sub.i value is the affinity of the inhibitor for the receptor. Compounds are also tested against �.sup.3 H!U69593 (agonist) binding to this receptor. No compound is known to inhibit only agonist binding or antagonist binding. However, such a compound may have a unique pharmacological profile as a result of its specificity for one region of the receptor.

Initial specificity is determined by testing compounds �.sup.3 H!diprenorphine binding to cloned human mu and delta receptors at 10 .mu.Mand titrating those compounds that inhibit binding by at least 80%. Compounds that do not have K.sub.i values at least 100-fold high against mu and delta receptors may be more likely to have additional side effects and are not pursued to enable further evaluation of specific compounds.

(b) Inflamed knee joint hyperalgesia model and blood pressure response to compression of the inflamed knee joint

Inflammation in a joint is often associated with hyperalgesia �pain during normal flexion and extension and during the application of gentle innocuous pressure! and/or persistent pain �resting pain; Schaible et al. (1993) Pain 55: 5-54!. During the course of knee joint intimation, a cascade of events occurs, which includes: (i) synthesis and release of inflammatory mediators in the joint, (ii) release of neuropeptides from afferent fibers in the joint cavity, and (iii) increased primary afferent outflow from group II, III, Iv sensory fibers �Schaible et al. (1993) Pain55: 5-54!. An important result of this cascade is that there is an augmentation in the response of small, lightly myelinated and unmyelinatedafferents to low intensity stimuli. In this manner, the peripheral nerve innervating inflamed tissue can evoke an exaggerated behavioral response to otherwise innocuous stimuli, i.e., a state of hyperalgesia. Thus, inflammation of the knee joint will result in increased spontaneous afferent activity, the appearance of an exaggerated discharge with joint flexion and extension �Schaible et al. (1995) J. Neurophysiol. 54: 1109-1122! and signs of a pain-associated autonomic reaction �Sata et al (1984) Neurosci. Lett. 52: 55-60!.

Injection of a mixture of kaolin and carrageenan into the knee joint induces an experimental arthritis. As exemplified below, this treatment was characterized by a reliable increase in joint volume and circumference. In the unanesthetized rat, these joint changes were accompanied by a tendency to avoid weight beating, suggesting an ongoing pain state. According to electrophysiological studies, in the course of the development of this acute arthritis, C and Ad units normally responding only to extreme joint distortion become activated by slight movement �Schaible et al. (1985) J. Neurophysiol. 54: 1109-1122!. Spinal neurons with knee joint receptive fields in the deep dorsal horn of the spinal cord show clear development of hyperexcitability with the acute inflammation in the joint �Neugebauer et al. (1993) J. Neurosci. 70: 1365-1377!. This sensitization of group III and IV fibers was observed within 2-3 hours after injection of kaolin and carrageenan into the knee joint, a time course that closely matches the time course of the development of hyperalgesia in the rat knee joint compression model. Theseobservations indicate that spinal cord neurons and joint primary afferent fibers become sensitized and may underlie hyperalgesia observed in this arthritic state. Such afferent input may drive autonomic responses that are typically associated with the processing of input from afferents typically activated by stimuli generated by the local inflammatory state. In addition to the above-mentioned inflamed knee joint mechanism, the blood pressure (BP) changes might also be evoked reflexively by afferent neural activity from receptors located in the skeletal muscle �Williamson et al. (1994) J. Physiol. 475: 351-357!. This response is dependent on thechanges in intramuscular pressure and the quality of muscle mass compressed. This particular mechanical reflex, however, appears to operateindependently of the pain response and appears to play a minor role in the exemplified experiments, as inflation of the cuff on the left normal knee joint had no effect upon BP. In any case, it is possible that overflow of the carrageenan from the joint capsule may serve to render surrounding tissue inflamed as well. Sensitization of C and A units was observed in the rat gastrocnemius muscle by infiltration with carrageenan �Handwerker et al. (1991) Pain and Inflammation. Proceeding of the VIth World Congresson Pain, Bond et al. eds., Elsevier Science Publishers Bv, pp. 59-70. Basedon these considerations, it appears that compression of the inflamed knee joint yields a noxious stimulus and this in rum activates a sympathetic response resulting in an increase in BP.

Local inflammation of the knee results in a state where otherwise innocuousstimuli results in a prominent autonomic response, including increased blood pressure (BP) and heart rate �see, e.g., Sata et al (1984) Neurosci.Lett. 512: 55-60!. Alternatively, neural outflow from the inflamed knee is recorded �see, e.g. Neugebauer et al (1993) J. Neurosci. 70: 1365-1377!.

An in vitro test that measures spontaneous discharge in injured skin by topical application may also be used. �see, e.g., Andreev et al. (1994) Neurosci. 58: 793-798!.

(c) In vivo evaluation of formalin-induced nociception

Administration of formalin into the paw results in a localized inflammationand a pain response that is moderate in intensity and continuous in duration. Unlike many other assays of nociception, the formalin assay measures tonic pain that is a result of tissue injury, and therefore is a model which is more relevant to clinical pain states in humans �see Tjolsen et al. (1992) Pain 51:5-17!. In the rat the response to formalin-induced pain consists of spontaneous flinching behavior, characterized by paw lifting and paw shaking, and a rapid vibration of thepaw after drawing it under the body. The flinching response can be reliablyquantitated and exhibits two peaks of activity which are indicative of acute and tonic pain �Wheeler-Aceto and Cowan (1991) Psychopharmacology 104: 35-44!. The early or acute phase lasts from 0-5 min post-formalin andis followed by a quiescent period lasting approximately 15 min. The tonic phase occurs from 20-35 min following formalin injection and is the interval where the number of flinching responses is maximal. This model has been characterized in several species �Tjolsen et al. (1992) Pain 51: 5-17! and is sensitive to the analgesic effects of opiates administered bya variety of routes, including local administration directly into the paw. In addition, the test is particularly sensitive to the effects of c agonists �Wheeler-Aceto and Cowan (1991) Psychopharmacology 104: 35-44!.

Inflammation is induced by subcutaneous injection of 50 ml of a 5% formalinsolution into the dorsal surface of the right hind paw of male Sprague-Dawley rats weighing 70-90 g. Injections of drug are given into the dorsal surface of the paw prior to formalin injection, and flinching behavior is quantitated by counting the number of responses that occur during the tonic phase of pain, lasting from 20-35 min after formalin injection. Results are expressed as the mean percent antagonism of formalin-induced flinching calculated for individual drag-treated, formalin-injected rats using the following formula: ##EQU1##The mean formalin response is the mean behavioral score of vehicle-treated and formalin-injected rats. The mean saline response is the pooled behavioral score from rats injected with 50 ml of saline into the paw.

(d) RandalI-Selitto Test

Numerous variations and exemplifications of this assay are known to those of skill in this art �see, Randall et al (1957) Arch. Int. Pharmacodyn. 111: 409-419; see, also, e.g., U.S. Pat. No. 5,434,292, U.S. Pat. No. 5,369,131, U.S. Pat. No. 5,345,943, U.S. Pat. No. 5,242,944 and U.S. Pat. No. 5,109,135.

The pain threshold is measured in this method as the amount of pressure in g required to induce a flight reaction (struggle) when applied to the footof an experimental animal exhibiting hyperalgesia, typically an inflamed paw, compared to a control, such as the same or equivalent animal in the absence of the inflammation, and/or in the absence of a test compound. Incremental pressure is applied to the paw with a wedge-shaped blunt piston onto the dorsal surface of the hind paw by means of a paw pressure analgesia meter. The pressure required to elicit paw withdrawal, the paw pressure threshold (PPT), is determined.

Stein and coworkers �Stein et al. (1988) Pharmacol. Biochem. Behav. 31:445-451; Stein et al. (1989) J. Pharmacol. Exp. Ther. 248: 1269-1275! have developed a model of peripheral inflammation and hyperalgesia in rats, which supports the role of opiates in mediating peripheral analgesia. In this protocol, modified Freund's adjuvant is used as the inflammatory stimulus, and the paw pressure test is used to assess the response of the rat to a painful pressure stimulus. The model is sensitiveto opiate agonists of the .mu., .delta. and .kappa. subtypes, which produceanalgesia upon administration �Antonijevic et al. (1995) J. Neurosci. 15: 165-172; Stein et al. (1988) Neurosci. Lett. 84: 225-228; Stein et al. (1989) J. Pharmacol. Exp. Ther. 248: 1269-1275!. Histological verificationof opiate receptor localization and density have confirmed that peripheral opiate receptors are accessible on primary afferent nerve fibers and are unregulated following intimation �Hassan et al. (1993) Neuroscience 55: 185-193; Przewlocki et al. (1992) Neuroscience 48:491-500!.

Experiments are conducted in rats weighing 150-250 g at the time of inoculation. Modified Freund's complete adjuvant (FCA) is used as the inflammatory stimulus. Rats are administered an i.pl. injection of the FCAsuspension into the right hind foot. Hyperalgesia and antinociception are evaluated using the paw pressure test. The rat is gently restrained and incremental pressure is applied to the paw with a wedge-shaped blunt piston onto the dorsal surface of the hind paw by means of a paw pressure analgesia meter. The pressure required to elicit paw withdrawal, the paw pressure threshold (PPT), is determined. A cutoff pressure of 250 g is used to avoid undue stress and pain to the animal. Baseline responding is established by determining the average of three consecutive trials separated by 10 sec. The same procedure is conducted on the contralateral side and the sequence of sides is alternated between animals to control for order effects. Typically injections are not made in the contralateral (noninflamed) paw; however, in selected cases drugs may be administered tothe contralateral paw to evaluate the potential for drug effects in the absence of intimation.

Analgesic activity is determined by expressing the increase in PPT resulting from the effect of the drug as a percentage of basal preinjection thresholds.

Hyperalgesia can also be produced by inflammatory stimuli such as yeast or carrageenan, endogenous inflammatory mediators such as bradykinin or prostaglandins, or other types of chemical irritants �see Hargreaves and Joris (1993) APS Journal 2:51-59!.

(e) Acetic acid-induced writhing

This test identifies novel agents which exhibit peripheral analgesic activity against visceral or chemical pain �see Barber and Gottschlich (1986) Med. Res. Rev. 12: 525-562; Ramabadran and Bansinath (1986) Pharm. Res. 3: 263-270!. Injection of acetic acid into the peritoneal cavity is used as the noxious stimulus, and the number of writhing responses that occur in response to acetic acid are counted in order to quantify the response to pain. Compounds which possess analgesic activity reduce the number of writhing responses that occur. Opiate agonists of the m and k subtype exhibit analgesic activity in this model �Barber and Gortschlich (1986) Med. Res. Rev. 12: 525-562; Millan (1990) Trends Pharmacol. Sci. 11: 70-76!. Novel compounds Which demonstrate potency and efficacy in thisassay are potential drags for the treatment of various pathological conditions involving peripheral pain.

The writhing assay is adapted from the procedure originally described by Taber et al. �(1969) J. Pharmacol. Exp. Ther. 169: 29-38!, using male CF-1mice weighing 20-25 g. Animals are treated with various doses of drugs prior to the administration of an i.p. injection of 0.6% acetic acid solution. Mice are then placed into observation chambers and the number ofwrithing responses, as defined by a full hindlimb extension and retraction,are recorded.

The mean number of writhing responses is calculated for vehicle-treated control mice, and the percent inhibition (%I) of writhing is calculated for each mouse that is treated with drug using the following formula: ##EQU2##

(f) Hyperalgesia induced by tape stripping

The objective of this assay is to identify novel agents which exhibit peripherally-mediated analgesia in circumstances, such as bums and abrasions, which lead to hyperalgesia. In such injuries, the loss of the stratum corneum is followed by an inflammatory response (erythema) and a painful response to otherwise innocuous stimuli. Removal of the stratum corneum by repeated application and removal of cellophane tape, termed tape stripping, has been shown to be a simplified model of these injuries,which share characteristics of first degree burns �see Flynn (1985) Percutaneous Absorption, R. L. Bronaugh and H. I. Maibach, eds., Marcel Dekker Inc., pp. 18-42!. This method of barrier disruption avoids the application of potentially toxic chemicals and permits evaluation of peripheral analgesics following topical administration because tape stripping removes the barrier to effective topical therapy (the stratum corneum) while simultaneously resulting in inflammation and hyperalgesia. Tape stripping has been validated in humans as a model for the testing of topical agents �Pershing et al.(1994) Antimicrob. Agents Chemother. 38: 90-95; Roy and Flynn (1990) Pharm. Res. 7: 842-847!.

Experiments are conducted in male Sprague-Dawley rats weighing 250-500 g atthe time of treatment. After anesthesia of the rat with ketamine-xylamine, a 1-3 cm.sup.2 patch of rat skin is treated by repeated application and removal of tape. This procedure results in removal of the stratum corneum as determined by a glistening appearance of the skin. The tape stripped skin is evaluated for a visible erythema and for sensitivity to contact byheat or pressure stimuli using a focused beam of light, by testing in the paw pressure apparatus or by touch with yon Frey hairs. The diameter of the von Frey hairs will be selected based on a diameter which causes no response in control rats but has a readily detectable response in treated rats.

Typically analgesics will be formulated in a suitable topical medium and applied to the treated skin. Some rats will receive only the topical medium without analgesic to control for an effect of the topical medium alone. The presence of analgesia is determined by the latency to respond to the heat stimulus or by response to touch or pressure.
