Nonsteroidal antiinflammatory agents

Compounds of Formula 1 1

Description

[0001] This invention relates to the use of nonsteroidal compounds for the production of pharmaceutical agents for treatment of inflammations, selected compounds and production processes thereof.

[0002] In addition to a large number of steroid compounds, which bind well to the glucocorticoid receptor and have an antiinflammatory action (glucocorticoids), nonsteroidal compounds are known that namely bind to the glucocorticoid receptor, for which to date no antiinflammatory action has been shown, however [cf. Nature Medicin [Nature Medicine] 4 (1998) 92, Mol. Pharmacol. 52 (1997) 571]. In addition, nonsteroidal compounds were described that are derived from steroidal compounds, have an affinity to the glucocorticoid receptor and probably have an antiinflammatory action that is mediated by the receptor [J. Med. Chem. 36, (1993), 3278-3285]. In animal experiments, however, these compounds did not show any advantages relative to steroidal glucocorticoids, i.e., it was not possible to separate the antiinflammatory action from the metabolic effects, e.g., suppression of the suprarenal function.

[0003] From WO 98/54159, nonsteroidal compounds are known that have a high gestagenic activity. In the document, there is the observation that the claimed compounds partially also have action on the glucocorticoid and/or mineral corticoid receptor. In this connection, however, there is neither actual mention of compounds nor disclosure of test results. That is to say that from the pool of generically claimed compounds of WO 98/54159, compounds that are not specified in more detail are known that have both high gestagenic activity and action on the glucocorticoid receptor. In terms of industrial applicability, however, compounds that have a selectivity with respect to the above-mentioned actions are advantageous.

[0004] In turn, from WO 00/32584, phenol derivatives that have a dissociation of action between antiinflammatory action and undesirable metabolic side effects are known as nonsteroidal antiinflammatory agents.

[0005] The compounds that are disclosed in the prior art are still in need of improvement with respect to their dissociation of action between antiinflammatory action and the undesirable side effects.

[0006] The object was therefore to make available new nonsteroidal antiinflammatory agents that show a dissociation of action that is at least as good or better than the compounds of the prior art.

[0007] Nonsteroidal compounds have now been found that bind well to the glucocorticoid receptor and, mediated by this bond, produce an antiinflammatory action. In the experiment, these compounds show a significantly better or at least equally good dissociation of action between antiinflammatory and undesirable actions and are superior to the previously described nonsteroidal glucocorticoids or have at least just as good an action.

[0008] According to this invention, the following compounds of general formula I that have an antiinflammatory action are suitable for use for the production of pharmaceutical agents: 2

[0054] Nonsteroidal compounds as such with a mixed profile that consists of gestagenic and androgenic activity in different manifestations are already the subject of WO 98/54159. The compounds of general formula I according to claim 1 that are to be used according to this patent application for the production of pharmaceutical agents with antiinflammatory action fall within the scope of the general formula that is contained in WO 98/54159, but are not preferred as a group or directly disclosed as compounds there. They are thus novel and also meet the patenting requirement of inventive activity because of the antiinflammatory action that was found and that is dissociated from undesirable metabolic effects or other effects.

[0055] Undesirable actions/effects in the context of this invention are metabolic actions or else bonds to other steroid receptors.

[0056] The compounds of general formula I cited by name below fall namely within the scope of the general formula that is cited in WO 98/54159 but are not previously described by name there. They are thus novel and also meet the patenting requirement of inventive activity because of the antiinflammatory action that was found and that is dissociated from undesirable side effects.

[0057] These compounds as such therefore also belong to the subject matter of this invention and are listed below.

[0058] Their naming is to be illustrated in the following example: 5

[0279] If the compounds of general formula I are present as salts, this can be, for example, in the form of hydrochloride, sulfate, nitrate, phosphate, pivalate, maleate, fumarate, tartrate, benzoate, mesylate, citrate or succinate.

[0280] If the compounds according to the invention are present as racemic mixtures, they can be separated into the pure, optically active forms according to the methods of racemate separation that are familiar to one skilled in the art. For example, the racemic mixtures can be separated into the pure isomers by chromatography on an even optically active carrier material (CHIRALPAK AD(R)). It is also possible to esterify the free hydroxy group in a racemic compound of general formula I with an optically active acid and to separate the diastereoisomer esters that are obtained by fractionated crystallization or by chromatography and to saponify the separated esters in each case to form the optically pure isomers. As an optically active acid, for example, mandelic acid, camphorsulfonic acid or tartaric acid can be used.

[0281] Process for the Production of the Compounds According to the Invention

[0282] The compounds according to the invention can be obtained by the chain C(R1)(R2)—CH2—C(OH)(R3)—B—NH—Ar being built up starting from a commercially available phenyl compound or a phenyl compound that is available according to known methods, whereby radical R3 is introduced in the last step or the ring system of formulas (1) or (2) (═Ar) is introduced with the formation of the amide bond B—NH—Ar.

[0283] Compounds that were produced according to one of the processes below and in which A is a substituted aromatic ring optionally can be substituted selectively at this aromatic radical according to known processes. Examples of this process are the catalytic hydrogenation of multiple bonds, the nitration and the halogenation. Halogen and nitro substitutions offer, moreover, possible further modifications. Thus, for example, aryl bromides can be reacted with boron, tin or zinc reagents under palladium catalysis in the way that is known to one skilled in the art. Nitro compounds can be reduced to aniline derivatives, for example hydrogenolytically, or with metals, such as, e.g., iron or zinc. The aniline derivatives can be further reacted after diazotization in a known way, for example in terms of Sandmeyer reactions.

[0284] (A)

[0285] An α-ketocarboxylic acid of general formula II 6

[0286] in which A, R1 and R2 have the meanings that are indicated in formula I, is either optionally esterified with a compound of general formula

(R12)3SiR3  (III)

[0287] in which R3 has the meaning that is indicated in general formula I, and R12 means a C1-C5-alkyl group,

[0288] in the presence of a catalyst, or is reacted with an alkyl metal compound, for example a Grignard reagent or a lithium alkyl, to form a compound of formula IV 7

[0289] As catalysts, fluoride salts or basic compounds, such as alkali carbonates, are suitable (J. Am. Chem. Soc. 111, 393 (1989)).

[0290] The ester is optionally cleaved again and then reacted with a compound of general formula V

Ar—NH—R13  (V)

[0291] whereby R13 means a hydrogen atom or a C1-C5 acyl group, and Ar has the meaning that is indicated in general formula I,

[0292] whereby then radical R13 is cleaved off to obtain a compound of formula I or

[0293] is reacted directly with a compound of general formula

Ar—NH—R13  (V)

[0294] whereby R13 means a hydrogen atom or a C1-C5-acyl group, and Ar has the meaning that is indicated in general formula I,

[0295] optionally after activation of the acid function by, e.g., conversion into the acid chloride, whereby then radical R13 is cleaved off in any sequence and is reacted with a compound of general formula III

(R12)3—SiR3  (III)

[0296] in which R3 and R12 have the above-indicated meanings, to obtain a compound of formula I.

[0297] (B)

[0298] A compound of general formula VI 8

[0299] in which A, B, R1, R2, and R3 have the meaning that is indicated in formula I and LG means any leaving group, is reacted with a compound of general formula V

Ar—NH—R13  (V)

[0300] whereby R13 means a hydrogen atom or a C1-C5 acyl group, and Ar has the meaning that is indicated in general formula I, whereby then radical R13 is cleaved off to obtain a compound of formula I.

[0301] In this case, the compound of general formula VI can optionally also be formed only as intermediate product, which can be isolated, if desired, or else can be produced only in situ, e.g., this can be an acid chloride that is formed intermediately from a corresponding carboxylic acid. As leaving groups, in this respect, for example, a fluorine, chlorine or bromine atom, or, if no intermediate acid chloride is formed, the mesylate radical or tosylate radical, can be mentioned.

[0302] The binding of substances to the glucocorticoid receptor (GR) is examined with the aid of a recombinantly produced receptor. Cytosol preparations of Sf9 cells, which had been infected with recombinant baculoviruses, which code for the GR, are used for the binding studies. In comparison to the reference substance [3H]-dexamethasone, the substances show a high to very high affinity to the GR.

[0303] In addition, these compounds in the mineral corticoid receptor (MR)-binding test with use of cytosol preparations that consist of Sf9 cells, which had been infected with baculoviruses that code for the MR, and with use of [3H]-aldosterone as a reference substance, show affinities to the MR.

[0304] As an essential molecular mechanism for the antiinflammatory action of glucocorticoids, the GR-mediated inhibition of the transcription of cytokines, adhesion molecules, enzymes and other pro-inflammatory factors can be seen. This inhibition is produced by an interaction of the GR with other transcription factors, e.g., AP-1 and NF-kappa-B (for a survey, see Cato, A. C. B. and Wade, E., BioEssays 18, 371-378, 1996).

[0305] The compounds of general formula I according to the invention inhibit the secretion of the cytokine IL-8 that is triggered by lipopolysaccharide (LPS) in human monocyte cell line THP-1. The concentration of the cytokines was determined in the supernatant with use of commercially available ELISA kits.

[0306] The antiinflammatory actions of the compounds of general formula I were tested in the animal experiment by testing in the croton oil-induced inflammation in rats and mice (J. Exp. Med. (1995), 182, 99-108). In this connection, croton oil in ethanolic solution was administered topically to the animals' ears. The test substances were also administered topically or systemically simultaneously with or two hours before the croton oil. After 16-24 hours, the ear weight was measured as a yardstick of the inflammatory edema, the peroxidase activity was measured as a yardstick of the invasions of granuloctyes, and the elastase activity was measured as a yardstick of the invasions of neutrophilic granuloctyes. In this test, the compounds of general formula I inhibit the three above-mentioned inflammation parameters both after topical administration and after systemic administration.

[0307] One of the most frequent undesirable effects of a glucocorticoid therapy is the so-called “steroid diabetes” [cf. Hatz, H. J., Glucocorticoide: Immunologische Grundlagen, Pharmakologie und Therapierichtlinien [Glucocorticoids: Immunological Bases, Pharmacology and Therapy Guidelines], Wissenschaftliche Verlagsgesellschaft mbH, Stuttgart, 1998]. The reason for this is the stimulation of the gluconeogenesis in the liver by induction of the enzymes that are responsible for this effect and by free amino acids, which develop from the degradation of proteins (catabolic action of glucocorticoids). A key enzyme of the catabolic metabolism in the liver is the tyrosinamino transferase (TAT). The activity of this enzyme can be determined photometrically from liver homogenates and represents a good yardstick of the undesirable metabolic actions of the glucocorticoids. To measure the TAT induction, the animals are sacrificed 8 hours after the test substances are administered, the livers are removed, and the TAT activity in the homogenate is measured. In this test, at doses at which they have an antiinflammatory action, the compounds of general formula I induce little or no tyrosinamino transferase.

[0308] In summary, the new compounds of general formula I compared to the previously used steroidal glucocorticoids have the following advantages:

[0309] nonsteroidal structure (i.e., the substances are also effective in patients who, because of an allergic reaction to the steroid basic structures of conventional glucocorticoids, can no longer access the latter for therapy (cf. Lutz, M. E., el-Azhary R. A., Mayo Clin. Proc. 72, 1141-1144, 1997).

[0406] All previously mentioned indications (i) to (xx) are described in detail in Hatz, H. J., Glucocorticoide: Immunologische Grundlagen, Pharmakologie und Therapierichtlinien, Wissenschaftliche Verlagesgesellschaft mbH, Stuttgart, 1998.

[0407] For the therapeutic actions in the above-mentioned pathologic conditions, the suitable dose is different and it depends on, for example, the active strength of the compound of general formula I, the host, the type of administration and the type and severity of the conditions that are to be treated, as well as the use as prophylactic agent or therapeutic agent.

[0745] The potency of the antiinflammatory action is determined in a cell test by the inhibition of the secretion of cytokine IL-8. The compounds of general formula I according to the invention inhibit the secretion of cytokine IL-8 in the human monocyte cell line THP-1 that is triggered by lipopolysaccharide (LPS). The concentration of the cytokines was determined in the supernatant by means of commercially available ELISA kits. In this connection, the compounds of formula I show a high to very high potency and action in inhibition (see Table 10).

[0746] The antiinflammatory actions of the compounds of general formula I were tested in the animal experiment in the croton oil-induced inflammation in rats and mice (J. Exp. Med. (1995), 182, 99-108). In this respect, croton oil in an ethanolic solution was administered topically to the ears in the animals. The test substances were systemically administered two hours before the croton oil. After 16-24 hours, the ear weight was measured as a yardstick of the inflammatory edema. In this connection, the compounds of formula I show an inhibition of the croton-oil-induced inflammation that is comparable to the standard (prednisolone) and is sometimes also stronger (see Table 11).

[0747] As a parameter for the side effects of the steroid-induced catabolic metabolism, the activity of the enzyme tyrosinamino transferase (TAT) was determined from liver homogenates by photometry. The activity represents a good yardstick of the undesirable metabolic actions of the glucocorticoids. To measure the TAT induction, the animals are sacrificed 8 hours after the test substances are administered, the livers are removed, and the TAT activity in the homogenate is measured. In this test, at doses at which they have an antiinflammatory action, the compounds of general formula I induce little or no tyrosinamino transferase in comparison to the steroids (Table 12).
