N-acylamino acid derivatives and their use

The present invention relates to N-acylamino acid derivatives or their salts useful in the pharmaceutical field. More particularly, the present invention relates to N-acylamino acid derivatives or their salts which have renin inhibiting activities and which are thus expected to be useful as hypotensive drugs.
A renin-angiotensin system is one of hypertensive systems in the living body, and it is an important system for regulating the blood pressure-body fluid electrolyte. Renin is secreted from renal juxtaglomerular cells and enters into the whole body circulation system via the renal vein. In the blood, there exists angiotensinogen which is a glycoprotein produced in the liver. Renin reacts on angiotensinogen to form angiotensin I. Most of angiotensin I will be converted to angiotensin II by angiotensin I-converting enzyme which is present in the pulmonary vascular endothelial cells in one cycle of pulmonary circulation. Angiotensin II thus formed directly induces contraction of smooth muscles of peripheral blood vessels and thus shows a strong hypertensive activity. It further acts on the adrenal cortex to induce secretion of aldosterone, which in turn acts on the renal to facilitate reabsorption of sodium, whereby the effective circulatory blood flow increases, the cardiac output increases and the peripheral vascular resistance increases so that the blood pressure increases.
It is known that hypertension will be brought about if this renin-angiotensin system was enhanced abnormally. Typical examples are renal vascular hypertension and malignant hypertension. Further, as a rare case, hypertension caused by a renin producing tumor is known.
For the treatment of the hypertension due to the enhancement of the renin-angiotensin system, inhibitors against the angiotensin I-converting enzyme have been studied, developed and subjected to clinical tests. However, such inhibitors are suspected to have side effects, since the substrate specificity of the angiotensin I-converting enzyme is broad to some extent and there exist some enzymes similar to the angiotensin I-converting enzyme in the living body. On the other hand, it is known that renin has a strict substrate specificity. Accordingly, an inhibitor against renin has a strong specificity and can be a superior hypotensive drug. For this reason, the research on renin inhibitors has been very active, and a number of renin inhibitors have been proposed.
However, most of these inhibitors are polypeptides, which are hardly absorbable by oral administration and which are susceptible to decomposition by a protease in vivo. Besides, they have high lipophilicity and are likely to be readily excreted to bile, whereby the retention of the hypotensive effects can not be expected.
On the other hand, Japanese Unexamined Patent Publication No. 275258/1986 discloses dipeptides represented by the formula: ##STR2## wherein each of R.sup.1 and R.sup.2 which may be the same or different is a --B--R.sup.6 group wherein B is a single bond or a straight chain or branched chain lower alkylene group which may have a double bond in the chain, and R.sup.6 is an aryl group or a heteroaryl group, a C.sub.1 -C.sub.10 alkyl group or a --E--R.sup.7 group wherein E is a lower alkylene group which may be interrupted by one oxygen atom, and R.sup.7 is a lower alkoxy group, an aryloxy group, an arylthio group, an aralkyloxy group or a nitrogen-containing heterocyclyl group; R.sup.3 is an ethylene, trimethylene or tetramethylene group which may be substituted by a lower alkyl, phenyl or hydroxyl group, a ##STR3## group wherein R.sup.8 is a nitrogen-containing heterocyclyl-substituted lower alkyl group, a C.sub.5 -C.sub.18 alkyl group, a C.sub.2 -C.sub.5 alkenyl or C.sub.2 -C.sub.5 alkynyl group which may be substituted by halogen, or a ##STR4## wherein each of R.sup.9 and R.sup.10 which may be the same or different is a lower alkyl group, or R.sup.9 and R.sup.10 form together with the adjacent carbon atom a C.sub.3 -C.sub.8 cycloalkyl group; R.sup.4 is an isopropyl group, a C.sub.3 -C.sub.8 cycloalkyl group or a phenyl group; R.sup.5 is a hydroxyl group, a C.sub.1 -C.sub.10 alkoxy group, an aryloxy group, an amino group, a mono- or di-(C.sub.1 -C.sub.10 alkyl)amino group (wherein the alkyl group may have one or two substituents which may be the same or different and which are selected from the group consisting of a hydroxyl group, a lower alkoxy group, a halogen atom, an unsubstituted or substituted phenyl group, a pyridyl group, a C.sub.3 -C.sub.8 cycloalkyl group, a di(lower alkyl)amino group, a di(hydroxy lower alkyl)amino group or a nitrogen-containing heterocyclyl group), a mono or di(C.sub.3 -C.sub.4 alkenyl)amino group, a C.sub.3 -C.sub.8 cycloalkylamino group, an arylamino group, a nitrogen-containing heterocyclylamino group wherein the amino and heterocyclyl are linked by N--C, a nitrogen-containing heterocyclyl group wherein the heterocyclyl group is linked to a carbonyl group by a nitrogen atom contained in the group, or a --NHR.sup.11 group wherein R.sup.11 is an amino group, a C.sub.1 -C.sub.10 aliphatic acylamino group which may be substituted by a halogen atom, a lower alkoxy group, an aryloxy group, an arylacyl group, an aryl group or a C.sub.3 -C.sub.8 cycloalkyl group, an arylacylamino group, a cinnamoylamino group, a heteroarylacylamino group, a lower alkylamino group which may be substituted by a hydroxyl group, a lower alkoxy group, a C.sub.1 -C.sub.5 aliphatic acyloxy group, an arylacyloxy group or an aryl group, an arylamino group or a nitrogen-containing heterocyclyl group wherein the heterocyclyl group is linked to --NH-- by a nitrogen atom; R is a hydrogen atom, a C.sub.1 -C.sub.6 aliphatic acyl group or an arylacyl group; and A is a single bond, an oxygen atom or a sulfur atom. Further, Japanese Unexamined Patent Publication No. 120370/1987 discloses dipeptide derivatives represented by the formula: ##STR5## wherein R.sup.1 is a carbamoyl group or a lower alkoxycarbonyl group, His is a L-histidine group, n is 0 or 1, Y is --O-- or --NH--; and R.sup.2 is a C.sub.1 -C.sub.7 straight chain or branched alkyl group.
The compounds disclosed in the above publications have relatively short peptide chains and are therefore expected to have improved absorbability by oral administration. However, because of the short peptide chains, their renin-inhibiting activities are poor.
To reduce the molecular size is the most effective means to improve the absorbability by oral administration, to be stable against a protease in vivo and to avoid the rapid excretion to bile. However, such a means is likely to lead to a substantial decrease of the renin-inhibiting activities as shown by the above publications.
As a result of years of extensive researches on the peptide derivatives and on the renin-inhibitors, the present inventors have found that N-acylamino acid derivatives having a novel structure exhibits strong renin-inhibiting activities in spite of their short peptide chains, and yet they have excellent absorbability by oral administration. The present invention is based on this discovery.

Now, the process for the preparation of the compound of the formula I of the present invention will be described.
In the following formulas, R.sup.1, R.sup.2, R.sup.3, R.sup.4, R.sup.5, R.sup.6, m, n and A are as defined above, and T is a leaving group.
Basically, the N-acylamino acid derivative of the formula I of the present invention can be prepared by condensing an N-acylamino acid of the formula: ##STR128## or a reactive derivative at the carboxyl group thereof with an amine of the formula: ##STR129## or condensing a carboxylic acid of the formula: ##STR130## or a reactive derivative at the carboxyl group thereof with an amino acid amide of the formula: ##STR131##
The condensation of the compounds of the formulas II and III or the condensation of the compounds of the formulas IV and V can be conducted by a usual method for the synthesis of a peptide, such as an azide method, an active ester method, a mixed acid anhydride method, a carbodiimide method, an imidazole method, a diphenylphosphoryl azide method, a Woodward method or condensation method in an oxidation and reduction system.
When a functional group which may adversely affect the condensation reaction, such as an amino group, or a carboxyl group, is present, such a functional group may be protected and then condensed, and the protecting group is then removed to obtain the compound of the present invention. Such a condensation method, protection of a functional group and removal of the functional group are disclosed in detail, for example, in "Basic for the Peptide Synthesis and Experiments" edited by Nobuo Izumiya et al, Maruzen (1985), "Protein Chemistry I" edited by Shiro Akabori et al, Kyoritsu Shuppan (1969), or "Chemistry of the Amino Acids" edited by J. P. Greenstein and M. Winitz, John Wiley & Sons, Inc. (1961).
The compound of the formula II can be prepared by the process shown by reaction scheme I. ##STR132##
To a dialkyl malonate, a halide such as 1-(chloromethyl)naphthalene is reacted at room temperature in a solvent such as tetrahydrofuran in the presence of a base such as sodium hydride to obtain a compound of the formula 2, which is then subjected to a saponification reaction at room temperature in ethanol by means of e.g. potassium hydroxide or sodium hydroxide to obtain a half ester of the formula 3. If this hydrolytic reaction is conducted by means of an enzyme such as esterase or lipase, or an insolubilized enzyme thereof, it is possible to obtain an optically active half ester of the formula 3.
The compound of the formula 3 is condensed with an amino acid having a protected carboxyl group by the above-mentioned usual method for the peptide synthesis, to obtain a compound of the formula 4. As a preferred embodiment, a tert-butyl ester of an amino acid and the compound of the formula 3 are condensed at room temperature in dimethylformamide by means of N,N'-dicyclohexylcarbodiimide in the presence of 1-hydroxybenzotriazole. Depending upon the purpose, the compound of the formula 4 is subjected to an extension of the carbon chain, for example, by the method shown by reaction scheme 2. ##STR133##
The compound of the formula 4 has two ester moieties. By differenciating the types of the ester moieties, it is possible to convert only one of the ester moieties to a carboxylic acid group. For example, by selecting an ethyl group for R and a tert-butyl group for R', it is possible to hydrolyze only the ethyl ester moiety by saponification with an alkali. The resulting carboxylic acid compound of the formula 10 may be converted to an acid anhydride or to an acid halide by a usual method and then reacted with a diazomethane to obtain a diazoketone compound of the formula 11, which is then reacted with a silver compound such as silver benzoate or silver oxide dissolved in triethylamine, in a lower alkanol such as methanol or ethanol to obtain a compound of the formula 12 having the carbon number increased by one. By repeating this reaction, it is possible to obtain a compound of the formula 5 having various carbon numbers. The compound of the formula 5 has two ester moieties. By differenciating the types of the ester moieties, it is possible to reduce only one of the ester moieties. For example, by using an ethyl group for R and a tert-butyl group for R', it is possible to obtain the desired compound of the formula 6 by the reduction with sodium borohydride in ethanol at room temperature. To facilitate the thioetherification, the hydroxyl group formed by the reduction of the ester of the compound of the formula 5 is converted to an excellent leaving group shown by T such as a tosyloxy group, a mesyloxy group or a halogen. This step can readily be conducted by reacting p-toluene sulfonyl chloride to the compound of the formula 6 at room temperature in the presence of a base such as pyridine. Then, the compound of the formula 7 and a thiol compound are reacted usually at room temperature in the presence of a base such as sodium hydride in a solvent such as dimethylformamide to obtain a compound of the formula 8. The oxidation of the compound of the formula 8 can be conducted by a usual method, for example, with a manganese compound, chromic acid, a lead compound, a halogen, hydrogen peroxide, an organic per acid, an inorganic nitrogen compound or an organic compound such as dimethylsulfoxide. By selecting the oxidizing agent or reaction conditions, a sulfoxide compound (compound wherein m=1) and a sulfone compound (compound wherein m=2) can be prepared, respectively. For example, when a compound of the formula 8 is oxidized at room temperature by means of an aqueous hydrogen peroxide solution in a solvent such as methanol by using sodium tungstate as a catalyst, a sulfonic compound (compound wherein m=2) can be obtained. By removing the protecting group from the compound of the formula 9 by a method suitable for the removal of the particular protecting group, compound of the formula II can be obtained.
Further, the steric chemistry on the carbon to which R.sup.2 is bonded, can be freely controlled by utilizing the Sharpless oxidation reaction, for example, by a method represented by Reaction scheme 3. ##STR134##
In the above formulas, R.sup.2, R.sup.3, R.sup.4, R' and n are as defined above, and P.sup.1 and P.sup.2 represent hydroxyl-protecting groups.
An allylic alcohol of the formula 13 is subjected to asymmetric epoxidation in accordance with the method disclosed by A. Pfenninger in "Synthesis" p80-116 (1986). Then, the hydroxyl group is protected by a hydroxyl-protecting group P.sup.2, and then the epoxy ring is selectively opened by a Grignard reagent. Then, P.sup.2 is removed. Then, oxidation is conducted by e.g. sodium periodate to obtain a carboxylic acid, which is then condensed with an amino acid having a protected carboxylic acid by a usual method for peptide synthesis such as a dicyclohexylcarbodiimide method. Then, the hydroxy-protecting group P.sup.1 is removed to obtain the compound of the formula 6 having the desired steric coodination. The hydroxyl-protecting group P.sup.1 is preferably a benzyl group, and P.sup.2 is preferably a tert-butyldimethylsilyl group.
Further, the synthesis can be conducted stereoselectively also by the following Reaction scheme 4. ##STR135## wherein R.sup.1, R.sup.2, m and n are as defined above, and D is an optically active amine.
A compound of the formula 20 obtained by reacting a fatty acid having a mercapto group at the terminal with R.sup.1 -X wherein X is a halogen such as bromine, is converted to a mixed acid anhydride by using e.g. pivaloyl chloride and then condensed with an optically active compound such as (4R,5S)-4-methyl-5-phenyl-2-oxazolidinone in the presence of e.g. n-butyl lithium. Then, R.sup.2 -X wherein X is a halogen such as bromine is reacted thereto by using a base such as lithium diisopropylamide to stereospecifically introduce the R.sup.2 group. Then, if necessary, after an addition of hydrogen peroxide, the product is hydrolyzed with an alkali to obtain a compound of the formula 23. If necessary, by using a suitable oxidizing agent such as hydrogen peroxide, a sulfoxide compound (a compound wherein m is 1) or sulfonic compound (compound wherein m is 2) can be obtained. The optically active compound of the formula D may be recovered and again used for the reaction.
Some of the compounds of the formula II can also be prepared by a process shown by Reaction scheme 5. ##STR136##
In the above formulas, R.sup.2' is a substituent of R.sup.2 wherein the 1-position is methylene group, such as a naphthylmethyl group. A Horner-Emmon's reagent of the formula 1' and an aldehyde are reacted usually at room temperature preferably under an inert gas stream such as argon or nitrogen in a solvent which does not adversely affect the reaction, such as tetrahydrofuran or dimethylformamide, if necessary, by an addition of an alkali metal or alkaline earth metal halide such as lithium chloride, lithium bromide or magnesium bromide and by a further addition of a base e.g. a tertiary amine such as diazabicycloundecene, triethylamine or diisopropylethylamine or an alkali metal halide, hydroxide, alcoholate or alkyl compound such as sodium hydride, sodium hydroxide, sodium ethoxide or butyl lithium, to obtain a compound of the formula 2'. The hydroxyl-protecting group W' may be a commonly employed hydroxyl-protecting group such as a tetrahydropyranyl group, a trityl group or a benzyl group, but preferably is a tetrahydropyranyl group. As the Horner-Emmon's reagent, any reagent equivalent to the compound of the formula 1' may be employed. The compound of the formula 2' is catalytically reduced under atmospheric pressure or elevated pressure in the presence of a metal catalyst such as palladium black, palladium-carbon or platinum oxide to obtain a compound of the formula 3', followed by the removal of the protective group to obtain a compound of the formula 4'. Steps 4, 5 and 6 can be conducted in the same manner as Steps 6, 7 and 8, respectively, of Reaction scheme 1. The saponification of Step 7 can be conducted in a usual manner, for example, saponification with an alkali such as sodium hydroxide in a solvent mixture of water and a lower alkanol, to obtain a compound of the formula 8'. The condensation of Step 8 can be conducted in the same manner as Step 3 in Reaction scheme 1. Then, the removal of the protective group is conducted to obtain a compound of the formula II.
The compound of the formula II can be prepared by a process shown by Reaction scheme 6 in the case of a compound wherein A is ##STR137##
In the above formulas, R.sup.18 is an amino-protecting group, and R.sup.19 is a hydroxyl-protecting group. The compound of the formula 24 can be prepared by a method disclosed in J. Med. Chem., Vol. 30, p.976-982 (1987). The compound of the formula 24 is reacted with R.sup.7 --(CH.sub.2).sub.q --MgX wherein X is chlorine or bromine, and R.sup.7 is as defined above in a solvent such as dry tetrahydrofuran at a temperature of from -78.degree. C. to room temperature, to obtain a compound of the formula 25. By removing the protective group, a compound of the formula III can be obtained.
Some of the compounds can also be prepared by a process shown by Reaction scheme 7. ##STR138##
The compound of the formula 26 is a starting material for the preparation of the compound of the formula 24, and the method for the preparation thereof is also disclosed in J. Med. Chem., Vol 30, p.976-982 (1987). The compound of the formula 26 is reacted with an oxidizing agent such as m-chloro perbenzoic acid at room temperature in a solvent such as methylene chloride to obtain a compound of the formula 27, which is then reacted with a nucleophilic reagent B such as a thiol compound to obtain a compound of the formula 28. By the removal of a protecting group, a compound of the formula 3 can be obtained.
Some of the compounds of the formula III can be prepared stereospecifically by utilizing the asymmetric center of a saccharide by a process as shown by Reaction scheme 8. ##STR139##
In the above formulas, R.sup.6' corresponds to R.sup.6 except that it is shorter than R.sup.6 by one methylene, and P.sup.1, P.sup.2 and P.sup.3 are hydroxy-protecting groups, and G represents an amine compound.
The starting material 1,2:5,6-diisopropylidene-.alpha.-D-allofuranose can readily be prepared from a D-glucose by a method disclosed by J. D. Stevens in "Methods in Carbohydrate Chemistry", Vol. VI, p.123 (1972). After protecting the hydroxyl group at the 3-position by P.sup.1, only the 5,6-isopropylidene was selectively removed by means of e.g. acetic acid. Then, by means of a suitable oxidizing agent such as sodium periodate, the product is converted to an aldehyde. Then, a desired side chain is introduced by Witting reaction. If necessary, the olefin is reduced by means of e.g. Raney nickel. The 1,2-isopropylidene is removed by treatment with an acid in a lower alcohol, and at the same time, the hydroxyl group at the 1-position is protected by P.sup.2. Further, the hydroxyl group at the 2-position is protected by P.sup.3, and then the hydroxyl-protecting group P.sup.2 at the 1-position is removed. An amine compound G such as morpholine is added, and the amino alkylation reaction is conducted by means of a metal hydride complex compound such as sodium cyano borohydride. Then, the free hydroxyl group at the 4-position is stereoinversibly converted to an azide group by means of diphenylphospholyl azide in the presence of suitable azide-forming agents, preferably triphenylphosphine and diethyl azodicarboxylate. This azide group is reduced to an amino group in a usual manner. Then, the hydroxyl-protecting groups P.sup.1 and P.sup.3 are removed. Thus, some of the compounds of the formula III can be stereospecifically prepared. A benzyl group may be mentioned as a preferred example for the hydroxyl-protecting group P.sup.1 or P.sup.3, and a methyl group may be mentioned as a preferred example for the hydroxyl protecting group P.sup.2.
Further, as shown by a typical example in Reaction scheme 9, such a stereospecific synthesis can be conducted by the above Sharpless asymmetric epoxidation reaction by using an optically inactive compound as the starting material. ##STR140##
In the above formulas, R.sup.6 ', T, B, P.sup.1, P.sup.2 and P.sup.3 are as defined above.
1,4-Pentadien-3-ol of the formula 41 prepared from vinyl magnesium bromide and methyl formate, is subjected to the above-mentioned Sharpless asymmetric epoxidation reaction to obtain an epoxy compound of the formula 42. After protecting the hydroxyl group by P.sup.1, the epoxy ring is selectively opened by means of a Grignard reagent R.sup.6 'MgX, and the side chain is introduced. After protecting the formed hydroxyl group by P.sup.2, a hydroxyl group is stereoselectively introduced by an oxidizing agent such as osmium tetraoxide to obtain a compound of the formula 46. A leaving group such as a tosyl group or a mesyl group is bonded to the primary hydroxyl group, followed by treatment with an alkali such as potassium carbonate, whereby an epoxy compound of the formula 48 can be stereospecifically obtained. This compound of the formula 48 can also be prepared by removing the hydroxyl-protecting group P.sup.1 of the compound of the formula 45, followed by the above sharpless asymmetric epoxidation reaction and against protecting the hydroxyl group by P.sup.1. A nucleophilic reagent B such as a thiol compound or an amine compound is reacted to the compound of the formula 48, and the formed hydroxyl group is protected by P.sup.3, and the hydroxyl-protecting group P.sup.2 is removed to obtain a compound of the formula 51. A compound of the formula III can be stereospecifically prepared from the compound of the formula 51 in the same manner as shown by the process steps 37.fwdarw.38.fwdarw.39.fwdarw.40 as shown in Reaction Scheme 8.
Further, the compound of the formula III wherein A is ##STR141## can be prepared by the process shown by Reaction scheme 10. ##STR142##
The compound of the formula 24 is reacted with the Horner-Emmon's reagent ##STR143## preferably in an inert gas stream such as argon or nitrogen in a solvent which does not adversely affect the reaction, such as tetrahydrofuran or dimethylformamide, if necessary by an addition of an alkali metal or alkaline earth metal halide such as lithium chloride, lithium bromide or magnesium bromide and further by an addition of a base, for example, a tertiary amine such as diazabicycloundecene, triethylamine or diisopropylethylamine or an alkali metal hydride, hydroxide, alcoholate or alkyl compound such as sodium hydride, sodium hydroxide, sodium ethoxide or butyl lithium, usually at room temperature, to obtain a compound of the formula 53. The Horner-Emmon's reagent may be any reagent so long as it is equivalent to ##STR144## The ester of the compound of the formula 53 is hydrolyzed at room temperature with sodium hydroxide or potassium hydroxide in e.g. a solvent mixture of a lower alkanol and water to obtain a carboxylic acid of the formula 54. Then, this carboxylic acid is converted to a reactive derivative such as a halide, an acid anhydride, an active ester or an azide by a usual method and then reacted with an amine compound or an alcohol compound to obtain a compound of the formula 55. In this condensation step, any one of the above peptide syntheses can be employed. In a preferred embodiment, the compound of the formula 54 is dissolved in an anhydrous solvent such as dimethylformamide, and triethylamine, diphenylphospholyl azide and an alkylamine were added at a low temperature at a level of -20.degree. C. to conduct a reaction at room temperature to obtain a compound of the formula 55. The compound of the formula 55 is catalytically reduced in the presence of e.g. palladium black, palladium-carbon or platinum oxide under atmospheric pressure or elevated pressure to obtain a compound of the formula 56. Then, the protecting group is removed to obtain a compound of the formula III. Depending upon the type of the protecting group, the step of this catalytic reduction and the step of removal of the protecting group can be conducted simultaneously.
The compound of the formula IV can be prepared in the same manner as in Reaction scheme 1 except that the condensation step 3 is omitted. Namely, the compound of the formula 3 is converted to ##STR145## and the subsequent steps are the same as the steps 4.fwdarw.5.fwdarw.6.fwdarw.7.fwdarw.8.fwdarw.9 to obtain a compound of the formula IV.
The compound of the formula V can readily be obtained by condensing an amino-protecting amino acid and the compound of the formula III in accordance with a usual method for the peptide synthesis, followed by removal of the protecting group.
