Description
FIELD OF THE INVENTION

The present invention relates to a series of heterocylic compounds of formula (I) as kappa (κ) opioid receptor (KOR) agonists. The present invention also relates to the preparation of compounds of formula (I). The present invention further relates to pharmaceutical compositions comprising compounds of formula (I).


BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION

The endogenous opioid system comprises three principal opioid receptor sites in the central nervous system and in the periphery designated as μ (Mu), κ (Kappa) and δ (Delta). The pharmacological response is elicited by binding of a multitude of endogenous opioid ligands to these receptors, the principal ones being the enkephalins, endorphins, and dynorphins. The exogenous opioids/opiates exert their activity by mimicking and/or antagonizing the activity of the endogenous opioid ligands at these receptors. Since the anatomical location, distribution and function of the opioid receptors is wide and varied (Neuropharmacology, 21, 487-497; Med. Res. Rev., 11, 357-374), the pharmacological effects elicited by their agonism and antagonism are diverse as well.


The μ receptors which bind morphine and its derivatives are responsible for analgesia, respiratory and gastrointestinal functions, sedation, neuroendocrine functions and mediate opiate dependence. The δ receptors are abundant in the CNS and mediate analgesia, feeding and various hormonal functions. The κ receptors are widely distributed in the CNS, peripheral tissues, nerve endings, immune cells, etc., and are responsible for functions including analgesia, gastrointestinal functions like food intake, gut motility, water balance, thermoregulation and various neuroendocrine functions. (J. Pharmacol. Exp. Ther. 234, 463-469; Peptides 4, 797-800; Goodman and Gilman's The Pharmacological Basis of Therapeutics (11th Edition) Chapter 21, Pp 547-590). It should further be noted that the κ receptors are also widely distributed in peripheral tissues, nerve endings and immune cells, etc.


Pharmacologic studies with receptor selective ligands have shown that analgesia can be produced by selective activation of each of the three types of opioid receptors. Most clinically used opioid analgesics, such as morphine and codeine act as μ receptor agonists. These opioids are known to feature undesirable and potentially dangerous dependence forming side effects. The κ opioid receptors, on the other hand have attracted special attention because their selective activation can produce analgesia without causing dependence and respiratory depression that is typically associated with μ receptor activation by morphine (Pharmaceutica Acta Helvetiae, 74, 2-3, Pp 337-344).


The opioid receptors are members of the superfamily of G-protein-coupled receptors (GPCRs). An agonist binding to the κ receptor activates the intracellularly associated G protein, which decreases Ca2+ channel conductance or inhibits adenylyl cyclase (AC). In addition to analgesia, potential applications of κ selective agonists include treating conditions, such as diuresis (Pharmacology Biochemistry and Behavior, 65, 1, Pp 53-59), eating disorders, motion sickness, and neuroprotection (Peptides 29, 12, Pp 2292-2375), among other disorders. Therefore, the κ receptors represent important therapeutic targets. Ligands selective for the κ receptors can serve as important pharmacologic tools. For example, such compounds can be used in competition assays to determine the relative specificity and selectivity of other compounds for the κ receptor, as well as for μ and δ receptors.


Various different classes of compounds featuring KOR agonist activity have been described in the art including the following:


U.S. Pat. No. 7,112,598 describes 2-phenylbenzothiazoline derivatives as KOR agonists.


U.S. Pat. No. 5,681,830 describes diarylmethyl piperazine compounds having utility as exogenous receptor combinant species for binding with opioid receptors such as kappa receptors.


European Patent No. 0 663 401 describes morphinan derivatives as selective KOR agonists and their application as an analgesic, diuretic, antitussive and brain cell protective agent.


The κ opioid receptor (also known as KOR) modulation has also been reported to be useful in the treatment of arthritis (Life Sciences, 57, 4, Pp 371-378), hypertension, pain, particularly pain which is inflammatory in origin and post-operative pain, (European Journal of Pharmacology, 429, 1-3, Pp 79-91) inflammation, migraine, inflammatory disorders of the gastrointestinal tract, psoriasis, and irritable bowel syndrome (IBS), Parkinsonism, (European Journal of Pharmacology, 396, 2-3, Pp 101-107, Molecular Brain Research, 44, 1, Pp 12-20) and stroke.

‘Optionally substituted’ means that substitution is optional and therefore it is possible for the designated atom or molecule to be unsubstituted. In the event a substitution is desired, then such substitution means that any number of hydrogens on the designated atom is replaced with a selection from the indicated group, provided that the normal valence of the designated atom is not exceeded, and that the substitution results in a stable compound. For example, in formula (I) when a substituent is keto (i.e., ═O), then 2 hydrogens on the atom are replaced and when the substitution is fluoro, then 1 hydrogen on the atom is replaced and the like.


‘Salts’ refer to any acid or base salt, pharmaceutically acceptable solvates, or any complex of the compound that, when administered to a recipient, is capable of providing (directly or indirectly) a compound as described herein. It should be appreciated, however, that salts that are not pharmaceutically acceptable also lie within the scope of the invention. The preparation of salts can be carried out using known methods.


For example, pharmaceutically acceptable salts of compounds contemplated herein may be synthesized by conventional chemical methods using a parent compound containing an acid residue. Generally, such salts may be prepared, for example, by making free acid of the compounds and reacting with a stoichiometric quantity of the appropriate base or acid in water or in an organic solvent, or in a mixture of the two. Generally, non-aqueous media such as one or more of ether, ethyl acetate, ethanol, isopropanol or acetonitrile may be utilized. Examples of acid addition salts include one or more of, but are not limited to, acid addition salts such as hydrochloride, hydrobromide, hydroiodide, sulfate, nitrate, phosphate, trifluoroacetate, and organic acid addition salts such as acetate, maleate, fumarate, citrate, oxalate, succinate, tartarate, malate, mandelate, methanesulfonate and p-toluenesulfonate. Also included in present invention are the isomeric forms and tautomers and the pharmaceutically-acceptable salts of compounds of formula (I). Illustrative pharmaceutically acceptable salts are prepared from formic, acetic, propionic, succinic, glycolic, gluconic, lactic, malic, tartaric, citric, ascorbic, glucuronic, maleic, fumaric, pyruvic, aspartic, glutamic, benzoic, anthranilic, mesylic, stearic, salicylic, p-hydroxybenzoic, phenylacetic, mandelic, embonic (pamoic), methanesulfonic, ethanesulfonic, benzenesulfonic, pantothenic, toluenesulfonic, 2-hydroxyethanesulfonic, sulfanilic, cyclohexylaminosulfonic, algenic, β-hydroxybutyric, galactaric, and galacturonic acids.


For any particular compound disclosed herein, any general structure presented also encompasses all conformational isomers, regioisomers, stereoisomers and tautomers that may arise from a particular set of substituents.


Compounds of the invention, such as a compound of formula (I) and salts thereof, also include other forms, such as their stereoisomers (except where specifically indicated), prodrugs, hydrates, solvates, acid salt hydrates, or any isomorphic crystalline forms thereof.


Compounds employed in the methods and compositions of the present invention may exist in prodrug form. As used herein, “prodrug” is intended to include any covalently bonded carriers which release the active parent drug, for example, the compound of Formula (I), or other formulas or compounds employed in the present methods and compositions in vivo when such prodrug is administered to a mammalian subject. The term “prodrug” also includes compounds which may be specifically designed to maximize the amount of active species that reaches the desired site of reaction and which themselves may be inactive or minimally active for the activity desired, but through biotransformation are converted into biologically active metabolites. Since prodrugs are known to enhance numerous desirable qualities of pharmaceuticals (e.g., solubility, bioavailability, manufacturing, etc.) the compounds employed in the present methods may, if desired, be delivered in prodrug form. Thus, the present invention contemplates methods of delivering prodrugs. Prodrugs of the compounds employed in the present invention, for example a compound of Formula (I), may be prepared by modifying functional groups present in the compound in such a way that the modifications are cleaved, either in routine manipulation or in vivo, to the parent compound.


Accordingly, prodrugs include, for example, compounds described herein in which a hydroxy, amino, or carboxy group is bonded to any group that, when the prodrug is administered to a mammalian subject, cleaves to form a free hydroxyl, free amino, or carboxylic acid, respectively. Examples include, but are not limited to, acetate, formate and benzoate derivatives of alcohol and amine functional groups; and alkyl, carbocyclic, aryl, and alkylaryl esters such as methyl, ethyl, propyl, iso-propyl, butyl, isobutyl, sec-butyl, tert-butyl, cyclopropyl, phenyl, benzyl, and phenethyl esters, and the like.


Compound of formula (I) contains one or more asymmetric carbons. It is to be understood accordingly that the stereoisomers arising from such asymmetry (e.g., all enantiomers and diastereomers) are included within the scope of this invention, unless explicitly indicated otherwise. Such isomers can be obtained in substantially pure form by classical separation techniques and by stereochemically controlled synthesis.


As used herein, the term ‘subject’ or ‘patient’ means mammals, such as humans and other animals, including horses, dogs, cats, rats, mice, sheep, pigs, etc. In exemplary embodiments, the subject may include subjects for which treatment and/or prevention of the conditions described herein would be beneficial.


For ease of reference, the present invention will be described in terms of administration to human subjects. It will be understood, however, that such descriptions are not limited to administration to humans, but will also include administration to other animals unless explicitly stated otherwise.


The phrase “side effect” refers to a consequence other than the one(s) for which an agent or measure is used, as the adverse effects produced by a drug, especially on a tissue or organ system other than the one sought to be benefited by its administration. In the case, for example, of opioids, the term “side effect” may refer to such conditions as, for example, constipation, nausea and/or vomiting.


The phrase “therapeutically effective amount” refers to an amount of a compound as described herein that may be therapeutically effective to inhibit, prevent or treat the symptoms of particular disease, disorder or side effect. Such diseases, disorders and side effects include, but are not limited to, those pathological conditions associated with the administration of opioids (for example, in connection with the treatment and/or prevention of pain), wherein the treatment or prevention comprises, for example, inhibiting the activity thereof by contacting cells, tissues or receptors with compounds of the present invention. Thus, for example, the term “therapeutically effective amount”, when used in connection with opioids, for example, for the treatment of pain, refers to the treatment and/or prevention of the painful condition. The term “therapeutically effective amount”, when used in connection with opioid antagonist compounds, refers to the treatment and/or prevention of side effects typically associated with opioids including, for example, such side effects as constipation, nausea and/or vomiting, as well as other side effects, discussed in further detail below.


The terms ‘treating’ or ‘to treat’ means to alleviate symptoms, eliminate the causation either on a temporary or permanent basis, or to prevent or slow the appearance of symptoms. The term ‘treatment’ includes alleviation, elimination of causation of or prevention of any of the diseases or disorders described above. Besides being useful for human treatment, these combinations are also useful for treatment of other mammals, including horses, dogs, cats, rats, mice, sheep, pigs, etc.


“Pain” refers to the perception or condition of unpleasant sensory or emotional experience, associated with actual or potential tissue damage or described in terms of such damage. “Pain” includes, but is not limited to, two broad categories of pain: acute and chronic pain. Buschmann, H.; Christoph, T; Friderichs, E.; Maul, C.; Sundermann, B; eds.; Analgesics, Wiley-VCH, Verlag GMbH & Co. KgaA, Weinheim; 2002; Jain, K. K., “A Guide to Drug Evaluation for Chronic Pain”; Emerging Drugs, 5(2), 241-257 (2000), the disclosures of which are hereby incorporated herein by reference in their entireties. Non-limiting examples of pain include, for example, nociceptive pain, inflammatory pain, visceral pain, somatic pain, neuralgias, neuropathic pain, AIDS pain, cancer pain, phantom pain, and psychogenic pain, and pain resulting from hyperalgesia, pain caused by rheumatoid arthritis, migraine, allodynia and the like.


The term “gastrointestinal dysfunction”, as used herein, refers collectively to maladies of the gastrointestinal system, particularly the stomach and small and large intestines. Non-limiting examples of gastrointestinal dysfunction include, for example, diarrhea, nausea, emesis, post-operative emesis, opioid-induced emesis, irritable bowel syndrome, opioid-bowel dysfunction, opioid induced constipation, ileus, including post-operative ileus, post-partum ileus and opioid-induced ileus, colitis, decreased gastric motility, decreased gastric emptying, inhibition of small intestinal propulsion, inhibition of large intestinal propulsion, increased amplitude of non-propulsive segmental contractions, constriction of sphincter of Oddi, increased anal sphincter tone, impaired reflex relaxation with rectal distention, diminished gastric, biliary, pancreatic or intestinal secretions, increased absorption of water from bowel contents, gastro-esophageal reflux, gastroparesis, cramping, bloating, distension, abdominal or epigastric pain and discomfort, non-ulcerogenic dyspepsia, gastritis, constipation, or delayed absorption of orally administered medications or nutritive substances.


The term “peripheral” designates that the compound acts primarily on physiological systems and components external to the central nervous system (CNS). In preferred form, the peripheral opioid antagonist compounds employed in the methods of the present invention exhibit high levels of activity with respect to peripheral tissue, such as, gastrointestinal tissue, while exhibiting reduced, and substantially no CNS activity at therapeutically relevant doses.


The phrase “substantially no CNS activity,” as used herein, means that less than about 20% of the pharmacological activity of the compounds employed in the present methods is exhibited in the CNS, less than about 15%, less than about 10%, less than about 5% and non-detectable, de minimus, or even 0% of the pharmacological activity of the compounds employed in the present methods is exhibited in the CNS.


The phrase “does not substantially cross,” as used herein, means that less than about 20% by weight of the compound employed in the present methods crosses the blood-brain barrier, preferably less than about 15% by weight, more preferably less than about 10% by weight, even more preferably less than about 5% by weight and still more preferably a non-detectable, de minimus, or even 0% by weight of the compound crosses the blood-brain barrier at therapeutically relevant doses. Selected compounds can be evaluated for CNS penetration by determining plasma and brain levels following i.v., oral, subcutaneous or intraperitoneal administration.

Experimental Procedure:


To a solution of 1-phenylcyclopropanecarbonitrile (7 g, mmoles) was added water (15 mL), acetic acid (15 mL) and sulfuric acid (15 mL). The contents were then refluxed at 110° C. over night. The reaction mixture was extracted with ethyl acetate and the organic layer was washed with brine solution (2×50 mL), dried over Na2SO4 and concentrated under reduced pressure to give the crude product. The crude was purified by flash column chromatography over silica gel (230-400 mesh) and elution with 5% ethyl acetate in hexane, gave the desired product as a colorless solid (4.35 g, 50%).


Step (vii)

Experimental Procedure:


To a solution of 1-phenylcyclopropanecarboxylic acid (1 eq.), were added at about 20-35° C., DCC (1 eq) in DCM and 1-Hydroxybenzotriazole (1 eq.). The mixture was stirred for 10 min and to this mixture was added (S)-1-((R)-2-amino-2-phenylethyl)pyrrolidin-3-ol (1 eq) and the contents were allowed to stir at about 20-35° C. for 12 h. The reaction mixture was filtered, the filtrate was diluted with DCM and the organic layer was washed with sat.NaHCO3 solution, brine and dried over Na2SO4 and concentrated under reduced pressure to give the crude product. The crude was purified by flash chromatography using silica gel (230-400 mesh) to give the desired product as a pale yellow gum. The resultant product is treated with hydrochloric acid to form the corresponding hydrochloric acid salt by following standard salt forming procedures known in the art.

In Vitro Assay to Evaluate Potency of KOR Agonists of Formula (I) Using IP-One Assay

The potency of the test compounds to the human KOR receptor was determined by performing dose-response experiments in COS-7 cells transiently transfected with the human KOR receptor cDNA using IP-One HTRF assay.


IP-One assay: One day following transfection cells were seeded in ½-area 96 well plates (Corning Costar, #675083) with 40,000 cells/well in DMEM medium supplemented with 10% fetal calf serum, 2 mM glutamine and 0.01 mg/ml gentamicin. The following day, media was aspirated and 50 μl Stimulation buffer (10 mM HEPES, 1 mMCaCl2, 0.5 mM MgCl2, 4.2 mM KCl, 146 mM NaCl, 5.5 mM glucose, 50 mM LiCl, 0.1% BSA, pH7.4) were added to each well. Test compounds were dissolved in DMSO in various concentrations and 1 μl was added to each well to stimulate cells. Following an incubation of about 60 minutes at 37° C., 10 μL IP1-d2 (Cisbio) and 10 μl anti IP1-Cryptate (Cisbio) were added to each well. Plates were incubated at about 20-35° C. for a minimum of 60 minutes and counted on HTRF compatible Alpha-Fusion (Packard). Determinations were made in duplicates. EC50 values were calculated using AssayExplorer 3.2 (Symyx), a standard pharmacological data handling software.


Using this protocol, various compounds as described herein were found to exhibit binding affinity towards KOR. For example, certain of the compounds as described herein exhibited a KOR agonistic binding in-vitro EC50 values of less than or equal to 100 nM; certain of other compounds as described herein exhibited a KOR agonistic binding in-vitro EC50 values between 100 nM-1 μM; and certain of other compounds as described herein exhibited a KOR agonistic binding in-vitro EC50 values greater than or equal to 1 μM.


Although the invention has been illustrated by certain of the preceding examples, it is not to be construed as being limited thereby; but rather, the invention encompasses the generic area as hereinbefore disclosed. Various modifications and embodiments can be made without departing from the spirit and scope thereof.
