The present invention relates to a method for producing aminopyrrolidine derivatives. More specifically, it relates to a method for producing chemokine receptor antagonists that are expected as effective for treating and/or preventing diseases in which infiltration of leukocyte components such as monocyte and lymphocyte into tissues plays a major role in their progress and preservation.
Furthermore, the present invention relates to anthranilamides that are useful intermediates in the synthesis of the aminopyrrolidine derivatives and a method for production thereof.
Chemokines such as MIP-1α and MCP-1 are protein factors that cause migration and activation of leukocytes. It is known that their function is expressed via mediation by chemokine receptors on leukocytes (Allergy & Immunology, 1999, vol. 6, no. 11). It is, therefore, expected that a chemokine receptor antagonist, which can inhibit activity of chemokines onto target cells, is effective for treating and/or preventing one or more diseases in which infiltration of leukocytes into tissues plays a major role in their progress and preservation, such as arteriosclerosis, rheumatoid arthritis, psoriasis, asthma, ulcerous colitis, nephritis (nephropathy), multiple sclerosis, pulmonary fibrosis, cardiomyopathy, hepatitis, pancreatitis, sarcoidosis, Crohn's disease, endometriosis, congestive heart failure, viral meningitis, cerebral infarction, neuropathy, Kawasaki disease, sepsis, allergic rhinitis and allergic dermatitis (Schwartz, M.K. et al., Exp. Opin. Ther. Patents, 1999, 9, 1471). Based on this findings investigation towards development of chemokine receptor antagonists has progressed, and a cyclic amine derivative having high activity as a chemokine receptor antagonist was found (WO 99/25686).
As methods for producing aminopyrrolidine derivatives having such chemokine receptor antagonist activity, examples of syntheses for compounds having similar structure are disclosed in WO 99/25686 and WO 98/50534. However, the methods reported therein are not simple, and the disclosed examples are not suitable for large-scale synthesis for reasons such as use of dichloromethane as solvent.
Furthermore, because many of preferred compounds having chemokine receptor antagonist activity contain anthranilamide skeletal structure, in order to obtain a wide variety of compounds having chemokine receptor antagonist activity, it was desired to produce synthetic intermediates efficiently by a method suitable for large-scale synthesis.
As an example of compound having such anthranilamide-like structure, a 2-phenylaminobenzamide derivative is disclosed in WO 01/05392 and WO 00/37141. However, the characteristic feature of this compound is its hydroxamic acid structure, and the above-mentioned compound having chemokine receptor antagonist activity cannot be derived from this compound.
Further, although an amide compound that inhibits chemokine receptor is disclosed in WO 02/60859 and WO 02/50019, such a compound with anthranilic acid structure is not specifically disclosed, and therefore a different synthetic method is required.
An object of the present invention is to provide a simple and industrial production method for the compounds that are chemokine receptor antagonists disclosed in WO 99/25686. In other words, it is to provide a method by which the desired aminopyrrolidine derivatives can be produced in high yields under mild conditions by avoiding the use of halogenated solvent which imposes, environmental load.
Furthermore, another object of the present invention is to find intermediates suitable for producing the compounds disclosed in WO 99/25686, particularly, intermediates suitable for producing the anthranilamide skeletal moiety. Still another object is to provide a method suitable for industrial production thereof.

Here the first invention is explained. Reaction step 1 in the production method represented by reaction formula (I) is a step by which an indole derivative is introduced into an aminopyrrolidine skeleton. Examples of this step are largely classified into two methods.
One of them is reaction of an indole derivative having no substituent at the 3-position of its indole ring with an amine in the presence of a synthon of formaldehyde such as formalin, paraformaldehyde and trioxane as shown in the following reaction formula.
Namely, when an indole derivative having no substituent at the 3-position is treated with an amine in solvent such as acetic acid/1,4-dioxane mixed solvent (mixing ratio is for example 1:1), ethanol, methanol and acetic acid/methanol mixed solvent (with any mixing ratio), condensation reaction proceeds, where the 3-position in the indole derivative and the primary or secondary amine are bonded via one methylene group. In this case, preferred solvents are ethanol, acetic acid and tetrahydrofuran. The reaction temperature is preferably room temperature. As a synthon of formaldehyde, 37% formalin is particularly preferred.
Alternatively, an indole derivative having a dialkylaminomethyl group at the 3-position of the indole ring may be used as shown in the following reaction formula:
Namely, reaction between the indole derivative and the amine in organic solvent gives the desired indole derivative. As reaction solvent can be used a variety of solvents such as alcohols ethers, esters and hydrocarbons except for ketones or amines. Particularly 2-propanol, propyl acetate and toluene are preferred.
Reaction step 2 in the production method expressed by the reaction formula (I) is deprotection step of the amino group in the anthranilic acid moiety, which is necessary only when protecting group(s) are used.
For example, when t-butoxycarbonyl is used as a protecting group, it can be removed in organic solvent by addition of hydrochloric acid, hydrogen chloride solution such as hydrogen chloride/diethyl ether, hydrogen chloride/1,4-dioxane and hydrogen chloride/methanol, or trifluoroacetic acid. In this case, hydrogen chloride/1,4,4-dixane or hydrogen chloride/methanol solution is particularly preferred.
Raw materials to obtain the aminopyrrolidine derivatives of the present invention can be produced, for example, by the following synthetic route, wherein R1, R2, R3, R23, R24, R25 and R26 in the formula are as defined above.
Namely, an anthranilic acid having an amino group at the 2-position is successively condensed with an amino acid and then with benzylaminopyrrolidine. Removal of the protecting benzyl group from the aminopyrrolidine derivative thus obtained gives the starting material necessary for the present invention.
However, acquisition of raw materials used in the present invention is not limited to the synthetic route exemplified here. Furthermore, the production method exemplified here illustrates outline of the synthetic route. Any optional steps such as utilization of protecting groups may be added depending on compounds and conditions employed in each reaction.
The second invention is explained below. Here R3, R11, R12, R14, R15, R16, R17, R23, R24, R25 and R26 in the formula are as defined above. R5 and R6 represent independently hydrogen or a protecting group for amino group (wherein R5 and R6 may, taken together, form a cyclic structure) with the proviso that both R5 and R6 are not simultaneously hydrogen.
Reaction step 5 in the above formula is condensation reaction, which proceeds by treatment with an anthranilic acid derivative in the presence of a condensing reagent in organic solvent.
As organic solvents there may be mentioned N,N-dimethylformamide, tetrahydrofuran, acetate esters, toluene, acetonitrile, dimethoxyethane, chloroform, dichloromethane, methanol and 2-propanol. Among these, from the viewpoint of industrial production method, tetrahydrofuran, N,N-dimethylformamide, ethyl acetate, 2-propanol and methanol are preferred. Tetrahydrofuran, ethyl acetate, and a mixed solvent of one of these with 2-propanol or methanol are especially preferred.
As a condensing reagent there may be mentioned 1,3-dicyclohexylcarbodiimide, isobutyl chloroformate, pivaloyl chloride, isovaleryl chloride, 1-ethyl-3-(3-dimethylaminopropyl)carbodiimide, 1-cyclohexyl-3-morpholinoethylcarbodiimide, 1-cyclohexyl-3-(4-diethylaminocyclohexyl)carboximide, N,N′-carbonyldiimidazole and 2-chloro-1,3-dimethylimidazolinium chloride. In particular, 1-ethyl-3-(3-dimethylaminopropyl)carbodiimide, 1-cyclohexyl-3-morpholinoethylcarbodiimide and 1-cyclohexyl-3-(4-diethylaminocyclohexyl)carboximide are preferred. 1-Ethyl-3-(3-dimethylaminopropyl)carbodiimide hydrochloride is especially preferred. Carbodiimide reagents in the present specification include their hydrochloride.
In this reaction, it is preferred to use an additive for accelerating the reaction or increasing the yield. As such an additive there may be mentioned p-nitrophenol, hydroxysuccinimide, hydroxyphthalimide, 1-hydroxy-1,2,3-benzotriazole, 3-hydroxy-4-oxo-3,4-dihydroxy-1,2,3-benzotriazine, N-hydroxy-5-norbornene-2,3-dicarboximide and ethyl 2-hydroxyimino-2-cyanoacetate. In particular hydroxysuccinimide and 1-hydroxy-1,2,3-berizotriazole are preferred. Such an additive is usually added at 0.1-1.0 equivalent. Addition of 0.1-0.2 equivalent of 1-hydroxy-1,2,3-benzotriazole is more preferred.
Furthermore, when an amine hydrochloride is used in amidation, it is preferred to add a base to accelerate the reaction by removal of hydrogen chloride formed. Such a base can be used together with the additive described above. As a base, triethylamine and N-methylmorpholine can be used. Triethylamine is particularly preferred.
Namely, the procedure which is the most convenient to handle and particularly preferred is to carry out the reaction using tetrahydrofuran or ethyl acetate as a solvent in the presence of 1-ethyl-3-(3-dimethylaminopropyl)carbodiimide hydrochloride, 1-hydroxy-1,2,3-benzotriazole and triethylamine.
The starting material used in the reaction step 5 described above is preferably synthesized by reaction step 4 in the above reaction formula. Here, as preferred protecting group(s) for amino group as R5 and R6 there may be mentioned methoxycarbonyl, t-butoxycarbonyl, benzyloxycarbonyl, allyloxycarbonyl, formyl, acetyl, benzoyl, methyl, ethyl, allyl, benzenesulfonyl and phthaloyl. When the protecting group(s) contain aromatic ring(s), the aromatic ring(s) may be substituted with one or more of nitro, amino, C1-C6 alkyl, C1-C6 alkoxy or halogen. In particular, hydrogen and t-butoxycarbonyl are preferred as R5 and R6.
Reaction step 4 is reaction for deprotecting an amino group. For example, when t-butoxycarbonyl is used as the protecting group for amino group, it can be removed by addition of an acid such as hydrochloric acid, hydrogen chloride solution such as hydrogen chloride/diethyl ether, hydrogen chloride/1,4-dioxane, hydrogen chloride/methanol and the like, or acid such as trifluoroacetic acid and the like in organic solvent. Use of hydrogen chloride/1,4-dioxane or hydrogen chloride/methanol solution is especially preferred.
The starting material used in reaction step 4 is preferably synthesized by reaction step 3 in the above reaction formula.
Reaction step 3 is reaction for introducing an indole derivative into an aminopyrrolidine skeleton. This step is similar to reaction step 1 in the first invention and largely classified to two methods. One of them is reaction of an indole derivative having no substituent at the 3-position with an amine in the presence of a synthon of formaldehyde such as formalin, paraformaldehyde and trioxane. Namely, in solvent such as acetic acid/1,4-dioxane (mixing ratio is for example 1:1), ethanol, methanol and acetic acid/methanol (with any mixing ratio), reaction where the 3-position in the indole derivative and the primary or secondary amine are bonded via one methylene group proceeds. It is preferred to carry out the reaction in ethanol at room temperature. As a synthon of formaldehyde, 37% formalin is particularly preferred.
Alternatively, an indole derivative having a dialkylaminomethyl group at the 3-position may be used. Namely, reaction of an indole derivative with an amine in organic solvent gives the desired indole derivative. Preferred solvents are alcohols and organic solvents with boiling points of 70-120° C. 2-Propanol and toluene are especially preferred. The crude product thus obtained may be converted to a salt such as monohydrochloride for purification.
The staring material used in reaction step 3 is preferably synthesized by reaction step 2 in the above formula.
Reaction step 2 is reductive reaction to remove a benzyl group. An example of this reaction is reductive debenzylation in the presence of palladium catalyst such as Pd/C and palladium(II) hydroxide on carbon in alcoholic solvent such as methanol, ethanol and 2-propanol using hydrogen source such as gaseous hydrogen, formic acid and ammonium formate. To obtain the product as a free base, gaseous hydrogen is preferred as hydrogen source.
The starting material used in reaction step 2 is preferably synthesized by reaction step 1 in the above reaction formula.
Reaction step 1 is condensation reaction similar to reaction step 5. The reaction proceeds by treatment with an amino-group-protected amino acid using a condensing agent in organic solvent. Preferred reaction conditions are the same as described for reaction step 5.
The final product in the second invention, an aminopyrrolidine derivative, and their synthetic intermediates contain a basic nitrogen and may form a salt. As an example of such a salt there may be mentioned hydrochloride, sulfate, acetate, phosphate, citrate and the like. In particular hydrochloride, sulfate and acetate are preferred.
The final product, an aminopyrrolidine derivative, contains a chiral carbon and enantiomers may exist. According to the method of the present invention, either of the enantiomers and a mixture thereof can be produced.
The third and fourth inventions are explained below.
In the formula representing compounds of the third invention or their synthetic methods of the fourth invention, R23, R24, R25 and R26 represent independently hydrogen, halogen, optionally halogenated C1-C6 alkyl, optionally halogenated C1-C6 alkoxy or hydroxyl. Preferably R23, R24 and R26 are all hydrogen. On the other hand, R25 is preferably halogenated C1-C6 alkoxy, especially preferably trifluoromethoxy.
Because this compound contains a basic nitrogen and may also contain a carboxyl group, a salt may be formed with either an acid or a base, if chemically possible.
Among the production methods of the present invention described above, a method via the following reaction steps is preferred. Here, R1, R2, R3, R4, R23, R24, R25 and R26 in the formula are as defined above.
In the following, the method for producing the compound of the present invention is explained with representative examples. Other compounds of the present invention represented by the above formula can also be produced with reference to these examples. From viewpoints of product yields, production costs, purity and the like, it is preferred to optimize reaction conditions such as solvent, reaction temperature, reaction time and substrate concentration beforehand depending on desired compounds. The optimization can be easily performed by those skilled in the art with reference to the present specification, particularly the examples, although it is not indispensable in carrying out the present invention.
Reaction step 1 in the above formula is a step for introducing a protective group of the amino group in anthranilic acid. A protecting group that forms carbamate with said amino group, for example t-butoxycarbonyl or benzyloxycarbonyl, is preferred. Other specific examples were described above as preferred groups for R1 and R2. For a step introducing a protecting group, an amino group is treated with a reagent such as (Boc)2O and Z-Cl. Here, N,N-dimethylformamide, tetrahydrofuran, acetate ester or the like is employed as a reaction solvent. It is preferred to add a tertiary amine such as triethylamine and pyridine for accelerating the reaction, although the reaction proceeds without such an additive.
Even if the subsequent reaction is carried out without protection, the desired amide can be produced, but it is problematic that a cyclocondensation product is formed as a byproduct upon hydrolysis in reaction step 3.
Reaction step 2 is condensation reaction, which proceeds by treatment with a carboxy-protected amino acid or its salt in the presence of a condensing agent in organic solvent.
N,N-dimethylformamide, tetrahydrofuran, ethyl acetate, toluene, acetonitrile, dimethoxyethane, chloroform, dichloromethane, methanol or 2-propanol is employed as reaction solvent. Considering industrial use, preferred solvents are tetrahydrofuran, N,N-dimethylformamide, acetate esters, methanol and 2-propanol, and tetrahydrofuran and ethyl acetate are especially preferred.
As a condensing agent can be used 1,3-dicyclohexylcarbodiimide, isobutyl chloroformate, pivaloyl chloride, isovaleryl chloride, 1-ethyl-3-(3-dimethylaminopropyl)carbodiimide or hydrochloride thereof, 1-cyclohexyl-3-morpholinoethylcarbodiimide, 1-cyclohexyl-3-(4-diethylaminocyclohexyl)carboximide, N,N′-carbonyldiimidazole or, 2-chloro-1,3-dimethylimidazolinium chloride. Among them, 1-ethyl-3-(3-dimethylaminopropyl)carbodiimide, 1-cyclohexyl-3-morpholinoethylcarbodiimide, and 1-cyclohexyl-3-(4-diethylaminocyclohxyl)carboximide are preferred, and 1-ethyl-3-(3-dimethylaminopropyl)carbodiimide hydrochloride is especially preferred.
In this step, it is preferred to use an additive for accelerating the reaction or increasing the yield. As an additive can be used p-nitrophenol, hydroxysuccinimide, hydroxyphthalimide, 1-hydroxy-1,2,3-benzotriazole, 3-hydroxy-4-oxo-3,4-dihydro-1,2,3-benzotriazine, N-hydroxy-5-norbornene-2,3-dicarboximide or ethyl 2-hydroxyimino-2-cyanoacetate. In particular, hydroxysuccinimide or 1-hydroxy-1,2,3-benzotriazole is preferred. Such an additive is usually added at 0.1-1.0 equivalent. It is more preferred to add 0.1-0.2 equivalent of 1-hydroxy-1,2,3-benzotriazole.
When an amine hydrochloride is used in amidation, it is preferred to add a base to accelerate the reaction by removing hydrogen chloride formed. The base can be used together with the additive described above. As a base there may be mentioned triethylamine and N-methylmorpholine, and triethylamine is particularly preferred.
Reaction step 3, which is optional, is a step for deprotecting the carboxyl group of the amino acid. For protecting a carboxyl group of an amino acid, it is preferred to form an ester especially methyl ester. In this case the ester is hydrolyzed either with alkaline in methanol, tetrahydrofuran, water or a mixture thereof or with concentrated hydrochloric acid in tetrahydrofuran or acetic acid. In either case the reaction is carried out under usual hydrolytic conditions.
