NON-STEROIDAL PROGESTERONE RECEPTOR MODULATORS

Abstract
The present invention relates to non-steroidal progesterone receptor modulators of the general formula 1,
Description

The present invention relates to non-steroidal progesterone receptor modulators, a method for their preparation, the use of the progesterone receptor modulators for the manufacture of medicaments, and pharmaceutical compositions which comprise these compounds.


The steroid hormone progesterone controls in a decisive manner the reproductive process in the female body. Progesterone is secreted in large quantities during the cycle and pregnancy respectively by the ovary and the placenta. Progesterone in cooperation with oestrogens brings about cyclic changes in the uterine mucosa (endometrium) during the menstrual cycle. Elevated progesterone levels after ovulation influence the uterine mucosa to convert it into a state permitting nidation of an embryo (blastocyst). During pregnancy, progesterone controls the relaxation of the myometrium and maintains the function of the decidual tissue.


It is further known that progesterone inhibits endometrial proliferation by suppressing oestrogen-mediated mitosis in uterine tissue (K. Chwalisz, R. M. Brenner, U. Fuhrmann, H. Hess-Stumpp, W. Elger, Steroids 65, 2000, 741-751).


Progesterone and progesterone receptors are also known to play a significant part in pathophysiological processes. Progesterone receptors have been detected in the foci of endometriosis, but also in tumours of the uterus, of the breast and of the CNS. It is further known that uterine leiomyomas grow progesterone-dependently.


The effects of progesterone in the tissues of the genital organs and in other tissues occur through interactions with progesterone receptors which are responsible for the cellular effects.


Progesterone receptor modulators are either pure agonists or inhibit the effect of progesterone partly or completely. Accordingly, substances are defined as pure agonists, partial agonists (selective progesterone receptor modulators=SPRMs) and pure antagonists.


In accordance with the ability of progesterone receptor modulators to display their effect via the progesterone receptor, these compounds have a considerable potential as therapeutic agents for gynaecological and oncological indications and for obstetrics and fertility control.


Pure progesterone receptor antagonists completely inhibit the effect of progesterone on the progesterone receptor. They have anti-ovulatory properties and the ability to inhibit oestrogen effects in the endometrium, as far as complete atrophy. They are therefore particularly suitable for intervening in the female reproductive process, e.g. post-ovulation, in order to prevent nidation of a fertilized egg cell, during pregnancy in order to increase the reactivity of the uterus to prostaglandins or oxytocin, or in order to achieve opening and softening (“ripening”) of the cervix, and to induce a great readiness of the myometrium to contract.


A beneficial effect on the pathological event is expected in foci of endometriosis and in tumour tissues which are equipped with progesterone receptors after administration of pure progesterone receptor antagonists. There might be particular advantages for influencing pathological states such as endometriosis or uterine leiomyomas if ovulation inhibition can additionally be achieved by the progesterone receptor antagonists. Ovulation inhibition also dispenses with some of the ovarian hormone production and thus the stimulating effect, deriving from this proportion, on the pathologically altered tissue.


The first progesterone receptor antagonist described, RU 486 (also mifepristone), was followed by the synthesis and characterization of a large number of analogues with progesterone receptor-antagonistic activity of varying strength. Whereas RU 486 also shows an antiglucocorticoid effect in addition to the progesterone receptor-antagonistic effect, compounds synthesized later are notable in particular for a more selective effect as progesterone receptor antagonists.


Besides steroidal compounds such as onapristone or lilopristone, which are notable by comparison with RU 486 for a better dissociation of the progesterone receptor-antagonistic effect and the antiglucocorticoid effect, also known from the literature are various non-steroidal structures whose antagonistic effect on the progesterone receptor is being investigated [see, for example, S. A. Leonhardt and D. P. Edwards, Exp. Biol. Med. 227: 969-980 (2002) and R. Winneker, A. Fensome, J. E. Wrobel, Z. Zhang, P. Zhang, Seminars in Reproductive Medicine, Volume 23: 46-57 (2005)]. However, non-steroidal compounds disclosed to date have only moderate antagonistic activity compared with the activity of known steroidal structures. The most effective non-steroidal compounds are reported to have in vitro activities which are 10% of the activity of RU 486.


The antiglucocorticoid activity is disadvantageous for therapeutic use, where the inhibition of progesterone receptors is at the forefront of the therapy. An antiglucocorticoid activity causes unwanted side effects at the dosages necessary for therapy. This may prevent administration of a therapeutically worthwhile dose or lead to discontinuation of the treatment.


Partial or complete reduction of the antiglucocorticoid properties is therefore an important precondition for therapy with progesterone receptor antagonists, especially for those indications requiring treatment lasting weeks or months.


In contrast to the pure antagonists, partial progesterone receptor agonists (SPRMs) show a residual agonistic property which may vary in strength. This leads to these substances showing agonistic effects on the progesterone receptor in certain organ systems (D. DeManno, W. Elger, R. Garg, R. Lee, B. Schneider, H. Hess-Stumpp, G. Schuber, K. Chwalisz, Steroids 68, 2003, 1019-1032). Such an organ-specific and dissociated effect may be of therapeutic benefit for the described indications.


It is therefore an object of the present invention to provide further non-steroidal progesterone receptor modulators. These compounds are intended to have a reduced antiglucocorticoid effect and therefore be suitable for the therapy and prophylaxis of gynaecological disorders such as endometriosis, leiomyomas of the uterus, dysfunctional bleeding and dysmenorrhoea. The compounds according to the invention are additionally intended to be suitable for the therapy and prophylaxis of hormone-dependent tumours, for example of breast, endometrial, ovarian and prostate carcinomas. The compounds are intended furthermore to be suitable for use in female fertility control and for female hormone replacement therapy.


This object is achieved according to the present invention by the provision of non-steroidal compounds of the general formula I

and the pharmaceutically acceptable salts thereof.


The compounds according to the invention of the general formula I may, owing to the presence of centres of asymmetry, exist as different stereoisomers. Both the racemates and the separate stereoisomers belong to the subject matter of the present invention.


The present invention further includes the novel compounds as active pharmaceutical ingredients, their therapeutic use and pharmaceutical dosage forms which comprise the novel substances.


The compounds according to the invention of the general formula (I) or their pharmaceutically acceptable salts can be used to produce a medicament, in particular for the treatment and prophylaxis of gynaecological disorders such as endometriosis, leiomyomas of the uterus, dysfunctional bleeding and dysmenorrhoea. The compounds according to the invention may further be used for the treatment and prophylaxis of hormone-dependent tumours such as, for example, for breast, prostate and endometrial carcinoma.


The compounds according to the invention of the general formula (I) or their pharmaceutically acceptable salts are also suitable for use for female fertility control or for female hormone replacement therapy.


The non-steroidal compounds according to the invention of the general formula I have strong antagonistic or strong partial agonistic effects on the progesterone receptor with high potency. They show a strong dissociation of effects in relation to their strength of binding to the progesterone receptor and to the glucocorticoid receptor. Whereas known progesterone receptor antagonists such as mifepristone (RU 486) show, besides the desired high binding affinity for the progesterone receptor, likewise a high affinity for the glucocorticoid receptor, the compounds according to the invention are notable for a very low glucocorticoid receptor binding with simultaneously a high progesterone receptor affinity.

For example, the racemic mixtures can be separated into the pure isomers by chromatography on a support material which is itself optically active (CHIRALPAK AD®). It is also possible to esterify the free hydroxy group in a racemic compound of the general formula I with an optically active acid, and to separate the resulting diastereoisomeric esters by fractional crystallization or chromatography and to hydrolyse the separated esters in each case to the optically pure isomers. It is possible to use as optically active acid for example mandelic acid, camphorsulphonic acid or tartaric acid.

Biological characterization of the compounds according to the invention


Progesterone receptor modulators can be identified with the aid of simple methods, test programmes known to the skilled person. It is possible for this purpose for example to incubate a compound to be tested together with a progestogen in a test system for progesterone receptor ligands and to check whether the effect mediated by progesterone is altered in the presence of the modulator in this test system. The substances according to the invention of the general formula I were tested in the following models:


Progesterone receptor-binding assay


Measurement of the receptor binding affinity:


The receptor binding affinity was determined by competitive binding of a specifically binding 3H-labelled hormone (tracer) and of the compound to be tested on receptors in the cytosol from animal target organs. The aim in this case was receptor saturation and reaction equilibrium.


The tracer and increasing concentrations of the compound to be tested (competitor) were coincubated at 0-4° C. for 18 h with the receptor-containing cytosol fraction. After removal of unbound tracer with carbon-dextran suspension, the receptor-bound tracer content was measured for each concentration, and the IC50 was determined from the concentration series. The relative molar binding affinity (RBA) was calculated as ratio of the IC50 values for reference substance and compound to be tested (×100%) (RBA of the reference substance=100%).


The following incubation conditions were chosen for the receptor types:


Progesterone receptor:


Uterus cytosol of the estradiol-primed rabbit, homogenized in TED buffer (20 mMTris/HCl, pH 7.4; 1 mM ethylenediamine tetraacetate, 2 mM dithiothreitol) with 250 mM sucrose; stored at −30° C. Tracer: 3H-ORG 2058, 5 nM; reference substance: progesterone.


Glucocorticoid receptor:


Thymus cytosol from the adrenalectomized rat, thymi stored at −300° C.; buffer: TED.


Tracer: 3H-dexamethasone, 20 nM; reference substance: dexamethasone.


The competition factors (CF values) for the compounds according to the invention of the general formula (I) on the progesterone receptor are between 0.2 and 35 relative to progesterone. The CF values on the glucocorticoid receptor are in the range from 3 to 35 relative to dexamethasone.


The compounds according to the invention accordingly have a high affinity for the progesterone receptor, but only a low affinity for the glucocorticoid receptor.


Antagonism on the progesterone receptor PR


The transactivation assay is carried out as described in WO 02/054064.


The IC50 values are in the range from 0.1 to 150 nM.


The table below shows, by way of example, results from the transactivation test for antagonistic activity on (PR-B).

Agonism on the progesterone receptor PR


The transactivation assay is carried out as described in Fuhrmann et al. (Fuhrmann U., Hess-Stump H., Cleve A., Neef G., Schwede W., Hoffmann J., Fritzemeier K.-H., Chwalisz K., Journal of Medicinal Chemistry, 43, 26, 2000, 5010-5016). The EC50 values are in the range from 0.01 to 150 nM.


Dosage


The progesterone receptor modulators can be administered orally, enterally, parenterally or transdermally for the use according to the invention.


Satisfactory results are generally to be expected in the treatment of the indications mentioned hereinbefore when the daily doses cover a range from 1 μg to 1000 mg of the compound according to the invention for gynaecological indications such as the treatment of endometriosis, leiomyomas of the uterus and dysfunctional bleeding, and for use in fertility control and for hormone replacement therapy. For oncological indications, daily dosages in the range from 1 μg to 2000 mg of the compound according to the invention are to be administered.


Suitable dosages of the compounds according to the invention in humans for the treatment of endometriosis, of leiomyomas of the uterus and dysfunctional bleeding and for use in fertility control and for hormone replacement therapy are from 50 μg to 500 mg per day, depending on the age and constitution of the patient, it being possible to administer the necessary daily dose by single or multiple administration.


The dosage range for the compounds according to the invention for the treatment of breast carcinomas is 10 mg to 2000 mg per day.


The pharmaceutical products based on the novel compounds are formulated in a manner known per se by processing the active ingredient with the carrier substances, fillers, substances influencing disintegration, binders, humectants, lubricants, absorbents, diluents, masking flavours, colorants, etc. which are used in pharmaceutical technology, and converting into the desired administration form. Reference should be made in this connection to Remington's Pharmaceutical Science, 15th ed. Mack Publishing Company, East Pennsylvania (1980).


Suitable for oral administration are in particular tablets, film-coated tablets, sugar-coated tablets, capsules, pills, powders, granules, pastilles, suspensions, emulsions or solutions.


Preparations for injection and infusion are possible for parenteral administration.


Appropriately prepared crystal suspensions can be used for intraarticular injection.


Aqueous and oily solutions for injection or suspensions and corresponding depot preparations can be used for intramuscular injection.


For rectal administration, the novel compounds can be used in the form of suppositories, capsules, solutions (e.g. in the form of enemas) and ointments, both for systemic and for local therapy.


Furthermore, compositions for vaginal use may also be mentioned as preparation.


For pulmonary administration of the novel compounds, they can be used in the form of aerosols and inhalants.


Patches are possible for transdermal administration, and formulations in gels, ointments, fatty ointments, creams, pastes, dusting powders, milk and tinctures are possible for topical application. The dosage of the compounds of the general formula I in these preparations should be 0.01% -20% in order to achieve an adequate pharmacological effect.


Corresponding tablets can be obtained for example by mixing the active ingredient with known excipients, for example inert diluents such as dextrose, sugar, sorbitol, mannitol, polyvinylpyrrolidone, disintegrants such as maize starch or alginic acid, binders such as starch or gelatin, lubricants such as magnesium stearate or talc and/or means to achieve a depot effect such as carboxypolymethylene, carboxymethylcellulose, cellulose acetate phthalate or polyvinyl acetate. The tablets may also consist of a plurality of layers.


Correspondingly, coated tablets can be produced by coating cores produced in analogy to the tablets with compositions normally used in tablet coatings, for example polyvinylpyrrolidone or shellac, gum arabic, talc, titanium oxide or sugar. The tablet covering may in this case also consist of a plurality of layers, it being possible to use the excipients mentioned above for tablets.


Solutions or suspensions of the compounds according to the invention of the general formula I may additionally comprise taste-improving agents such as saccharin, cyclamate or sugar, and, for example, flavourings such as vanillin or orange extract. They may additionally comprise suspending excipients such as sodium carboxymethylcellulose or preservatives such as p-hydroxybenzoates.


Capsules comprising the compounds of the general formula I can be produced for example by mixing the compound(s) of the general formula I with an inert carrier such as lactose or sorbitol and encapsulating it in gelatin capsules.


Suitable suppositories can be produced for example by mixing with carriers intended for this purpose, such as neutral fats or polyethylene glycol or derivatives thereof.


The compounds according to the invention of the general formula (I) or their pharmaceutically acceptable salts can be used, because of their antagonistic or partial agonistic activity, for the manufacture of a medicament, in particular for the treatment and prophylaxis of gynaecological disorders such as endometriosis, leiomyomas of the uterus, dysfunctional bleeding and dysmenorrhoea. They can furthermore be employed to counteract hormonal irregularities, for inducing menstruation and alone or in combination with prostaglandins and/or oxytocin to induce labour.


The compounds according to the invention of the general formula (I) or their pharmaceutically acceptable salts are furthermore suitable for the manufacture of products for female contraception (see also WO 93/23020, WO 93/21927).


The compounds according to the invention or their pharmaceutically acceptable salts can additionally be employed alone or in combination with a selective estrogen receptor modulator (SERM) for female hormone replacement therapy.


In addition, the said compounds have an antiproliferative effect in hormone-dependent tumours. They are therefore suitable for the therapy of hormone-dependent carcinomas such as, for example, for breast, prostate and endometrial carcinomas.


The compounds according to the invention or their pharmaceutically acceptable salts can be employed for the treatment of hormone-dependent carcinomas both in first-line therapy and in second-line therapy, especially after tamoxifen failure.


The compounds according to the invention, having antagonistic or partially agonistic activity, of the general formula (I) or their pharmaceutically acceptable salts can also be used in combination with compounds having antiestrogenic activity (estrogen receptor antagonists or aromatase inhibitors) or selective estrogen receptor modulators (SERM) for producing pharmaceutical products for the treatment of hormone-dependent tumours. The compounds according to the invention can likewise be used in combination with SERMs or an antiestrogen (estrogen receptor antagonist or aromatase inhibitor) for the treatment of endometriosis or of leiomyomas of the uterus.


Suitable for combination with the non-steroidal progesterone receptor modulators according to the invention in this connection are for example the following antiestrogens (estrogen receptor antagonists or aromatase inhibitors) or SERMs: tamoxifen, 5-(4-{5-[(RS)-(4,4,5,5,5-pentafluoropentyl)sulphinyl]pentyloxy}phenyl)-6-phenyl-8,9-dihydro-7H-benzocyclohepten-2-ol (WO 00/03979), ICI 182 780 (7alpha-[9-(4,4,5,5-pentafluoropentylsulphinyl)nonyl]estra-1,3,5(10)-triene-3,17beta-diol), 11beta-fluoro-7alpha-[5-(methyl{3-[(4,4,5,5,5-pentafluoropentyl)sulphanyl]propyl}amino)pentyl]-estra-1,3,5(10)-triene-3,17beta-diol (WO98/07740), 11beta-fluoro-7alpha-{5-[methyl(7,7,8,8,9,9,10,10,10-nonafluorodecyl)amino]pentyl}estra-1,3,5(10)-triene-3,17-beta-diol (WO 99/33855), 11beta-fluoro-17alpha-methyl-7alpha-{5-[methyl(8,8,9,9,9-pentafluorononyl)amino]pentyl}estra-1,3,5(10)-triene-3,17beta-diol (WO 03/045972), clomifene, raloxifene, and further compounds having antiestrogenic activity, and aromatase inhibitors such as, for example, fadrozole, formestane, letrozole, anastrozole or atamestane.


Finally, the present invention also relates to the use of the compounds of the general formula I, where appropriate together with an antiestrogen or SERM, for the manufacture of a medicament.


The present invention further relates to pharmaceutical compositions which comprise at least one compound according to the invention, where appropriate in the form of a pharmaceutically/pharmacologically acceptable salt.

Examples of such dosage forms are tablets, film-coated tablets, sugar-coated tablets, capsules, pills, powders, solutions or suspensions, where appropriate as depot form.


The pharmaceutical compositions comprising at least one of the compounds according to the invention are preferably administered orally.


Also suitable are parenteral preparations such as solutions for injection. Further preparations which may also be mentioned are for example suppositories and compositions for vaginal use.


The following examples serve to explain the subject-matter of the invention in more detail without intending to restrict it thereto.


General procedures for preparing compounds of the general formula (I)







The compounds of the general formula (I) can be synthesized as shown in Scheme 1. Monoaddition of Grignard or organolithium compounds onto, for example, an oxalic bisester and subsequent hydrolysis affords carboxylic acids of the general formula II. The amides of the general formula III are preferably prepared via formation of the acid chlorides and subsequent reaction with the appropriate amines. As alternative to this, however, it is also possible to use other methods for amide formation depending on the amine to be introduced. The compounds of the general formula I are then prepared from the amides of the general formula III by renewed addition of Grignard, organolithium or organozinc compounds. Steps 1, 2 and 3 can, however, also be carried out in the reverse sequence.


Compounds of the general formula I in which X is 2 hydrogen atoms are prepared by reductive amination of the appropriate aldehydes.


The substituents R1, R2 and R3 may where appropriate also be modified further after introduction has taken place. Suitable for this purpose are for example oxidation, reduction, alkylations, acylations, nucleophilic additions or especially also transition metal-catalysed coupling reactions.


Functional groups in compounds of the general formulae II and III are provided where appropriate with temporary protective groups which are then eliminated again at a suitable stage.


The preparation of 6-amino-4-methyl-2,3-benzoxazin-1-one has been described for example in WO 199854159.
