N-benzenesulphonyl-L-proline derivatives as bradykinin B.sub.2 antagonists

FIELD OF THE INVENTION
The present invention relates to novel compounds derived from N-benzenesulfonyl-L-proline, to the process for their preparation and to their use in therapeutics.
These novel compounds have an inhibitory action on bradykinin and are useful in therapeutics, particularly for the treatment of pain and inflammation and especially for the treatment of asthma, cerebral traumatic shock and allergic rhinitis.
PRIOR ART
It is known that one of the possible treatments for certain pathological conditions of a painful and/or inflammatory nature (such as asthma, rhinitis, septic shock, toothache, etc.) is to inhibit the action of certain hormones such as bradykinin or kallidin. These peptide hormones are in fact involved in a large number of physiological processes, some of which are closely associated with these pathological conditions.
Although no product possessing this mode of action has yet been marketed, numerous studies have been undertaken to create compounds capable of antagonizing the bradykinin receptors. Bradykinin is a peptide hormone consisting of 9 amino acids (Arg-Pro-Pro-Gly-Phe-Ser-Pro-Phe-Arg (SEQ ID NO:1)) and kallidin is a peptide hormone (Lys-Arg-Pro-Pro-Gly-Phe-Ser-Pro-Phe-Arg (SEQ ID NO:2)) which contains an additional amino acid (Lys) compared with bradykinin. It is known that earlier studies made it possible to obtain peptides which interact with the bradykinin receptors: some of them, like bradycor (CP.0127 from Cortech), icatibant (FHOE 140 from Hoechst) ["bradycor" and "icatibant" are international non-proprietary names (INN)] or NPC 17761 (from Scios-Nova), have an inhibitory action on the binding of bradykinin to its B.sub.2 receptor. More recently, non-peptide compounds have been proposed as antagonists towards the binding of bradykinin to its B.sub.2 receptor, especially in EP-A-0596406 and EP-A-0622361. It is also known that certain compounds whose structure is related to those of the compounds referred to in the two patent applications cited above have already been described for their possible antithrombotic properties, especially in DE-A-3617183 and EP-A-0261539.
OBJECT OF THE INVENTION
There is a need for reducing or eliminating pain and inflammation in mammals and particularly in man.
To meet this need, a novel technical solution has been sought which is effective in the treatment of inflammation and pain, irrespective of their origin, and especially in the treatment of pain associated with inflammatory phenomena.
According to the invention, it is proposed to provide a novel technical solution which involves competitive binding, at the bradykinin B.sub.2 receptor, between (i) bradykinin and related or analogous hormones, and (ii) an antagonist, and utilizes benzenesulfonamide compounds which are structurally different from the known products mentioned above and which limit or substantially inhibit the binding of bradykinin and analogous hormones to said bradykinin B.sub.2 receptor.
In accordance with this novel technical solution, it is proposed according to a first aspect of the invention to provide compounds derived from N-benzenesulfonyl-L-proline as novel industrial products, according to a second aspect of the invention to provide a process for the preparation of these compounds, and according to a third aspect of the invention to provide the use of these compounds, especially in therapeutics, as analgesics and/or anti-inflammatories.

(ii) their addition salts.
According to the invention, a process for the preparation of the compounds of formula I and their addition salts is also recommended.
The use of a substance which antagonizes a receptor of bradykinin and analogous hormones is also recommended, said use being characterized in that a bradykinin B.sub.2 receptor antagonist selected from the compounds of formula I and their non-toxic addition salts is employed for obtaining a drug intended for use in therapeutics to combat pathological conditions involving bradykinin or its analogs, in particular to combat pain, and especially in the treatment or prevention of pathological conditions associated with inflammatory or painful states.

The invention will be understood more clearly from the following Preparatory Examples and the results of pharmacological tests obtained with compounds according to the invention. In the case of compounds which have an asymmetric carbon in their structure, the absence of a particular indication, or the notation (R,S), means that the compounds are racemic; in the case of compounds which exhibit chirality, this is indicated immediately after the numbering of the substituent carried by said asymmetric carbon; the symbol (R) or (S) is then used in accordance with the Cahn-Ingold-Prelog rules. The nomenclature used in the Examples is that recommended by Chemical Abstracts; thus, after reaction of the acid group with an amine, certain L-proline derivatives may become 2(S)-pyrrolidinecarboxamide derivatives.
In the experimental section, the "Preparations" relate to the intermediates and the "Examples" relate the products according to the invention.
The melting points (m.p.) indicated below are generally measured using a Koffler bench and are not corrected, so they represent instantaneous melting points.
The spectral characteristics of the nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) signals are given for the proton (.sup.1 H) or for the 13 isotope of carbon (.sup.13 C); the chemical shift is indicated relative to the tetramethylsilane signal and is followed, in brackets, by the shape of the signal (s for singlet, d for doublet, t for triplet, q for quadruplet, m for multiplet, bs for broad signal) and the number of protons corresponding to the signal. By way of indication, the .sup.1 H NMR spectra were run at 300 MHz.

The activity of the products according to the invention was evaluated in respect of their ability to bind to the bradykinin receptors. Kinins, of which bradykinin is the main representative, actually form a group of small peptides which make an important contribution to the inflammatory response and therefore appear to be involved in the pathophysiology of inflammatory diseases. Furthermore, bradykinin is one of the most potent analgesics known. Kinins activate two types of receptor, called B.sub.1 and B.sub.2. The B.sub.2 receptor belongs to the large family of receptors with seven transmembrane domains coupled to the G proteins. In the present invention we describe compounds which bind to the B.sub.2 receptor and thereby block the binding of bradykinin.
The following pharmacological test is used: Ileum segments are isolated from male guinea-pigs [of the Dunkin-Hartley strain (Iffa Credo, l'Arbresle, France)] and ground in the following TES buffer: TES 25 mM, 1,10-phenanthroline 1 mM (pH 6.8), bacitracin 140 .mu.g/ml, BSA 1 g/l. The membranes are then isolated by centrifugation (18,000 rpm; 20 min; 4.degree. C.). The binding studies are carried out in this TES buffer using [.sup.3 H]-bradykinin (120 pM) and 50 .mu.g of membrane protein per test (final volume 500 .mu.l) with an equilibrium time of 90 min at 20.degree. C. The percentage inhibition of the binding of [.sup.3 H]-bradykinin is then determined in the presence of one of the test compounds according to the invention at a concentration of 10.sup.-6 M.
The results obtained from these tests (shown as "activity") are collated in Table I below with reference to the Examples given in the description.
The compounds of the present invention which inhibit the binding of [.sup.3 H]-bradykinin to the guinea-pig B.sub.2 receptor (see Table I) also bind to the human B.sub.2 receptor cloned and transfected in a stable manner into CHO cells (Chinese Hamster Ovary cells). Thus, in this test, some compounds inhibit the binding of [.sup.3 H]-bradykinin to the B.sub.2 receptor by at least 95% at a concentration of 10 .mu.M.
The compounds of the present invention can be useful in the treatment of pain and particularly in the treatment of numerous pathological conditions involving bradykinin or its homologs. These pathological conditions include septic and hemorrhagic shock, anaphylactic reactions, arthrosis, rheumatoid polyarthritis, rhinitis, asthma, inflammatory diseases of the gastrointestinal tract (for example colitis, rectitis, Crohn's disease), pancreatitis, certain carcinomas, hereditary angioedema, migraine, encephalomyelitis, meningitis, cerebrovascular complications (especially those caused by cerebral traumatic shock), certain neurological disorders, vascular inflammatory states (for example atherosclerosis and arteritis of the lower limbs), painful states (for example headache, toothache, menstrual pain), premature uterine contractions, cystitis and burns. The compounds according to the invention can also be useful for the potentiation of antiviral agents.
The compounds of the present invention, which can be used in the form of the free base or in the form of their non-toxic addition salts in association with a physiologically acceptable excipient, are generally prescribed in human therapeutics at doses of about 1 to 1000 mg/day in a form which can be administered orally, by intravenous, intramuscular or subcutaneous injection, transdermally, by means of aerosols or by means of suppositories.
These compounds can also be administered topically, for example in the form of a gel or ointment.
The compounds of the present invention are also useful as pharmacological reagents, especially for the study of hormone-receptor interactions. Use as a pharmacological reagent may require a radiolabeled derivative of one of the compounds according to the invention (for example with tritium [.sup.3 H] or sulfur [.sup.35 S]) in order to obtain a radioligand intended for conformational studies of the bradykinin B.sub.2 receptor or for binding tests involving this type of receptor, for example for the evaluation of novel compounds which are capable of exhibiting an affinity for the bradykinin B.sub.2 receptor.
