Patent Application
20120095215
The present invention relates to a medical composition containing a novel benzazepinone compound which is useful as a medicine and a pharmaceutically acceptable salt thereof as an effective ingredient. More specifically, the benzazepinone compound according to the present invention is useful for a treatment agent and/or prophylaxis agent of diseases to which an αv integrin receptor pertains such as angiogenesis in eyes, since it is an antagonistic drug of the αv integrin receptor (particularly, αvβ3 and αvβ5).
Intraocular neovascular diseases such as diabetic retinopathy, retinopathy of prematurity, age-related macular degeneration (hereinafter abbreviated to as “AMD”), etc. cause severe reduction of vision, which is a disease state frequently being a problem in clinical ophthalmology. In particular, AMD becomes main cause of loss of eyesight or reduction of vision in advanced nations including Europe and United States, and appears in aged people of mainly 50-years old or more. AMD shows symptoms that the center of the visual field becomes blurred, distorted, invisible, dark, etc., by degeneration of macular area due to abnormal aging at the retinal pigment epithelial cells.
In AMD, there exist two types of forms, which are so-called “dry” and “wet” forms. The dry form is one in which macular area is damaged and withered, but there is no subjective symptoms so that no treatment is particularly required. The wet form is one in which angiogenesis is generated due to stimulation by wastes and the retina is degenerated, which causes detachment of retinal pigment epithelium, neogenesis of choroid blood vessels or subretinal hemorrhage, which leads to loss of vision so that a therapy is definitely required.
As a treating method for the wet type AMD, a laser photocoagulation has been reported to be effective. However, the photocoagulation is a method which destroys retinal tissue, and reduction of vision is remarkable due to the therapy itself in the case that a focus is large, so that there are many unsuitable cases for applying the therapy. As the other therapeutic method, a drug therapy which targets inhibition of angiogenesis has been carried out.
VEGF (vascular endothelial growth factor) is a glycoprotein that has proliferation and/or differentiation of a vascular endothelial cell, induction of vascular permeability, vasodilator action, etc., and in recent years, it has been clarified that it pertains to diseases related to abnormal angiogenesis or elevated vascular permeability. LUCENTIS (Tradename), etc., are antibodies of the VEGF, and LUCENTIS has already been commercially available as an AMD treatment agent. However, these VEGF antibodies have been reported to have various side effects.
The integrin inhibitor also inhibits angiogenesis, so that it has been investigated as one of AMD treatment agents.
The integrin is a transmembrane glycoprotein complex of a hetero dimer constituted by an α-subunit and a β-subunit, which intermediates cell adhesion phenomenon and signaling process. A relative affinity and specificity regarding ligand binding are determined by combination of various α-subunits and β-subunits.
The integrin αvβ3 is expressed in many cell forms, and has been reported to intermediate some biologically related processes including adhesion of osteoclasts to bone matrix, migration of vascular endothelial cell and angiogenesis. Also, the integrin αvβ5 has been classified into the same vitronectin receptor as in the integrin αvβ3. However, it has been suggested that biological functions of these two kinds of integrins exerted on proangiogenic are different from each other.
As an integrin inhibitor against AMD, it has now been reported to use an RGD-containing polypeptide compound which is an integrin αvβ3 and/or αvβ5 antagonist or a non-peptide type compound which imitates RGD (see Patent Literature 1). However, the administration method thereof is an injection to the vitreous body of the eye, so that there are limits in administration intervals or a number of administration times in the viewpoints of invasiveness or QOL.
With regard to non-peptide type compounds, it has been described to be effective for the treatment by oral administration (see Non-Patent Literature 1). However, adhesion inhibitory activities are different depending on the kinds of animal cells to be used, so that it is difficult to expect the medical effects on human, and it cannot be said that sufficient effects can be obtained in the aspects of medical effects and pharmacokinetics, etc.
Heretofore, benzazepinone compounds similar to the compounds of the present invention have been disclosed, and it has been known that these compounds have integrin αvβ3 and αvβ5 inhibitory activity (see Patent Literatures 2 to 5). Also, benzazepinone compounds having treatment effects on AMD have also been reported (see Non-Patent Literature 2), but its administration form is intraperitoneal administration, so that improvement in pharmacokinetic aspects is necessary, and it cannot be said that sufficient medical effects can be obtained.
Accordingly, it has been desired to develop a compound which is a low molecule and having a non-peptide type αv integrin receptor antagonistic action, which is further excellent in effects, pharmacodynamic properties, and, pharmacokinetic properties such as bioavailability (BA) and duration of action, etc.
Moreover, in any of the above-mentioned literatures, there is no specific disclosure about a benzazepinone compound having a ring-fused imidazole ring structure at the side chain of the benzazepin ring according to the compound of the present invention.
The present inventors have carried out researches for the purpose of providing a medical composition containing a specific benzazepinone compound, which is capable of orally administering, less side effects, and useful for treatment or prophylaxis of diseases caused by ocular angiogenesis, whereby they have accomplished the present invention. That is, the present invention is to provide a medical composition containing a novel benzazepinone compound and a pharmaceutically acceptable salt thereof which has a potent αv integrin receptor antagonistic action, and excellent angiogenesis inhibitory activity provided by oral absorbability and continuity of a function.
The present inventors have intensively researched on a benzazepinone compound, and as a result, they have found that a group of benzazepinone compound having a specific heteroarylethoxy group at the 8-position of the benzazepinone ring, i.e., a group of benzazepinone compound having a 5,6,7,8-tetrahydro-imidazo[1,2-a]-pyrimidin-2-yl group or 1,2,3,4-tetrahydro-imidazo[1,2-b][1,2,4]triazin-6-yl group as a heteroaryl group has a potent αv integrin receptor (in particular, αvβ3 and αvβ5) antagonistic action, and excellent oral absorbability and continuity of a function, whereby they have accomplished the present invention.
