Description

FIELD OF THE INVENTION

The present invention relates to substituted 2-amino-1,4-dihydroquinazolin-4-one derivatives having pharmacological activity, to processes for their preparation, to combinatorial and solid phase methods for preparing libraries of the compounds, to utilizing libraries of the compounds for drug discovery, and to pharmaceutical compositions thereof.

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION

Quinazolinone derivatives are important class of molecules with physiological significance and pharmaceutical utility. Substituted quinazolinones are a useful class of compounds. DeRuiter, et al. ( J. Med. Chem. 1986, 29, 627-629) describe 2-(arylamino)-4(3H)-quinazolinones as inhibitor of enzyme aldose reductase that prevents or delays the onset of diabetic complications. Hussain, et al. ( Pharmaceuticals Research, 1988, 5, 242-244) and Hess, et al. ( J. Med. Chem. 1968, 11, 130-136) describe antihypertensive activity of 2-amino-4(3H)-quinazolinone.

Combinatorial chemistry is becoming an important tool for drug discovery and lead optimization (Borman, S. Chemical and Engineering News 1997, 75 (8), 43-62). A combinatorial synthesis requires that at least two components of the product molecules be independently variable, so that all of the combinations of these components can be prepared. Thus, to prepare a combinatorial library of quinazolinones with a high degree of potential diversity and wide utility for drug discovery using solid phase techniques, it is important to identify a synthesis in which all the components can be independently varied. The solution phase synthesis of 2-aminoquinazolinones by condensation of thiopseudoureas and isotoic anhydrides is known (Coopla, G. M. J. Org. Chem. 1976, 41, 825). For a solid phase combinatorial synthesis it is necessary to modify this syntheses to allow for the independent introduction of variables and to adapt the solution phase synthesis to a solid supported synthesis. The solid phase 2-aminoquinazolinone synthesis of this invention is achieved by using a variety of amino acids as starting material which can be attached to a solid support through the carboxylic acid group.

Multiple compounds can be prepared simultaneously by the solid phase process. The simultaneous solid phase synthesis of a library of trisubstituted quinazolinones of the present invention is not known. The preparation of libraries of compounds of the present invention is useful because it provides rapid structural variation and structure-activity information.

The libraries of substituted quinazolinones synthesized according to the present invention are useful for drug discovery.

Compounds of Formula I may be prepared via solid phase synthesis which comprises the steps of:

a) attaching a Fmoc protected amino acid of the formula:

to a solid support to produce compounds of formula (1):

wherein P is a solid support;

b) Deprotecting said compounds of formula (1) with piperidine to produce compounds of formula (2):

c) reacting said compounds of formula (2) with Fmoc-isothiocyanate to produce compounds of formula (3):

and

g) reacting said compounds of formula (7) with a cleaving reagent such as trifluoroacetic acid to produce compounds of formula (I).

Libraries of compounds of Formula I can thus be prepared. Such libraries are useful for drug discovery by providing a group of quinazolinones with a high degree of diversity, thus allowing for structure-activity information against a given drug discovery target.

In accordance with the present invention, the solid support P is preferably a polystyrene resin crosslinked with divinylbenzene and functionalized with a linker such as a hydroxymethylphenoxy group. More preferably the solid support P is Wang's resin.

In some preferred embodiments of the present invention a substituted phenyl group has 1 to 3 substituents. More preferably, a substituted phenyl group has one substituent.

Substituted alkyl groups can have from 1 to three substituents. Substituted alkyl groups preferably have no more than one substitutent per carbon atom. Substituted alkyl groups preferably contains a total of from 1 to three substituents in some preferred embodiments of the invention.

Fmoc, as used herein refers to the protecting group, fluorenylmethoxycarbonyl.

It is understood that the definition of the compounds of formula (I), when R 1 , R 2 , R 3 , and R 4 contain asymmetric carbons, encompasses all possible stereoisomers and mixtures thereof. In particular, it encompasses racemic modifications and any optical isomers. Optical isomers may be obtained in pure form by standard separation techniques. The pharmaceutically acceptable salts are those derived from such organic and inorganic acids as: lactic, citric, acetic, tartaric, succinic, maleic, malonic, hydrochloric, hydrobromic, phosphoric, nitric, sulfuric, methanesulfonic, and similarly known acceptable acids. Carboxylic acid salts of the compounds of this invention may be formed with bases such as alkali metals (Na, K, Li) or the alkaline earth metals (Ca or Mg).

Thus, a Fmoc protected amino acid is attached to the preferred solid support P, a resin of polystyrene crosslinked with divinylbenzene and with a linker such as 4-hydroxymethylphenoxy, most preferably Wang's resin (Wang S.; J. Am. Chem. Soc. 1973, 95, 1328-1333) in the presence of a coupling reagent such as didiopropylcarbodiimide to produce a compound of formula (1). A compound of formula (1) is deprotected using 20% piperidine in DMF to produce a free amine of formula (2). Amine (2) is reacted with fluorenylmethyloxycarbonyl isothiocyanate (Kearney et al. J. Org. Chem. 1998, 63, 199) in methylene chloride to yield formula (3). Fmoc protecting group on formula (3) was deprotected using 20% piperidine in DMF to give the thiourea on a solid support of formula (4). Thiourea (4) is reacted with methyl iodide to produce a compound of formula (5). The compound of formula (5) is reacted with a isotoic anhydride of formula (6) in polar aprotic solvent like N,N-dimethylacetamide to produce a compound of formula (7). The compound of formula (I) wherein R 1 , R 2 , and R 3 are as defined above is removed from the solid support with an acidic cleavage mixture such as tritluoroacetic acid in dichloromethane.

Step 3: Deprotection of Fmoc Group

The resin (5.5 mmol), prepared as described in step 2 above, was treated with a solution of 20% piperidine in DMF (2×50 ml, 10 min for the first time and 30 min for the second time) to remove the Fmoc protecting group from the resin. The mixture was filtered and the resin was washed with DMF (3×50 ml), MeOH (3×50 ml), and CH 2 Cl 2 (3×50 ml).

Step 4: Reaction with Fmoc-isothiocyanate

To the 4-aminobenzoic acid on Wang resin (5.5 mmol) was added a solution of Fmoc-isothiocyanate (3.09 g, 11 mmol, prepared as described in step 1) in anhydrous CH 2 Cl 2 (50 ml). After 20 min, the mixture was filtered, washed with CH 2 Cl 2 (5×50 ml).

To the resin-bounded thiourea (5.5 mmol) in anhydrous DMF (50 ml) was added MeI (6.85 ml, 0.11 mol). After half an hour, the mixture was filtered and treated again with equal amount of MeI in DMF overnight. The mixture was then filtered and the resin was washed with DMF (3×50 ml), MeOH (3×50 ml), CH 2 Cl 2 (3×50 ml), and dried.

To confirm that the reaction occured, 100 mg of resin was treated with 50% TFA/CH 2 Cl 2 for 1 hr, filtered, and the filtrate was concentrated. MS [M+H] + m/z=211.

Step 7: Reaction with Isatoic Anhydride

A mixture of the resin (200 mg, 0.22 mmol; loading 1.1 mmol/g), prepared as described in step 6 and isatoic anhydride (85 mg, 1.1 mmol) in anhydrous N,N-dimethylacetamide was heated at 80° C. on the J-KEM block overnight.

The synthesizer was left standing for 1 h, and the solution were filtered into 1 dram vials. The resin in each vessel was washed with dichloromethane (2 ml). The solutions were concentrated under a nitrogen stream and dried in Savant under vacuum. The characterization data are listed in the following table.
