BACKGROUND ART

In recent years, hyperlipemia and arteriosclerosis derived therefrom have been rapidly increased with the change to western eating habits with high-calory and high-cholesterol foods based on the higher level of life and with the advance of age of the population, and this has been one of social problems. The conventional pharmacotherapy of hyperlipemia and arteriosclerosis has mainly put stress on the decrease in blood lipid that causes these diseases, and the lesion of the arteriosclerosis itself has not been treated as a target. Acyl coenzyme A cholesterol acyltransferase (ACAT) is an enzyme that catalyzes synthesis from cholesterol to cholesterol ester, and plays a vital role in metabolism of cholesterol and absorption thereof in digestive organs. Inhibition of the ACAT enzyme that catalyzes esterification of free cholesterol in epithelial cells of the small intestine results in inhibition of absorption of cholesterol from the intestine, and inhibition of synthesis of cholesterol ester in the liver based on the ACAT inhibition results in suppression of secretion of VLDL from the liver to the blood. These results are considered to lead to an activity of decreasing blood cholesterol. Most of conventional ACAT inhibitors have been expected to exhibit an activity of decreasing blood cholesterol as an antihyperlipemic agent by acting on the ACAT enzymes in the small intestine and the liver.


For example, as an ACAT inhibitor, the specification of U.S. Pat. No. 4,716,175 describes 2,2-dimethyl-N-(2,4,6-trimethoxyphenyl)dodecanamide, and European Patent No. 372,445 describes N′-(2,4-difluorophenyl)-N-[5-(4,5-diphenyl-1H-imidazol-2-ylthio)pentyl]-N-heptylurea. However, most of the conventional ACAT inhibitors have put stress on an activity of decreasing blood cholesterol as an antihyperlipemic agent, and the administration thereof at a high dose for exhibiting its activity has often caused side effects such as intestinal bleeding, intestinal disorders, diarrhea, hepatopathy and the like at the stage of a clinical test, making difficult the clinical development thereof.


The arteriosclerosis is inherently a characteristic lesion such as intima hypertrophy and lipidosis of the blood vessel. According to the recent studies, suppression of foamation of macrophages that play a main role in formation of the arteriosclerosis lesion has been expected to lead to regression of the arteriosclerosis lesion itself. Foam cells derived from macrophages (cholesterol ester is stored in cells as fat droplets) have been observed in the gruel arteriosclerosis lesion, and the foamation of macrophages is deemed to deeply participate in the progression of the lesion. Further, it has been reported that the ACAT activity in the blood vessel wall in the arteriosclerosis lesion site is increased and cholesterol ester is stored in the blood vessel wall [refer to Gillease, J. et al., Exp. Mole. Pathol., 44, 329-339 (1986)].


The inhibition of esterification of cholesterol with an ACAT inhibitor results in formation of free cholesterol in cells, and this free cholesterol is removed with high-density lipoprotein (HDL), transferred to the liver (inversely transferred with HDL), and metabolized. Accordingly, suppression of storage of cholesterol ester in the lesion site is expected. As a result, it is considered to provide a direct anti-arteriosclerotic activity. There is a report that ACAT includes two types, a type present in the small intestine and a type present in the blood vessel wall [Kinunen M. et al., Biochemistry, 27, 7344-7350 (1988)]. However, many of the past researches on the ACAT inhibitor have been conducted using an enzyme of a type present in the small intestine and the liver [Tomoda Eiichi et al., J. Antibiotics, 47, 148-153 (1994)].


The present inventors considered that medications which selectively inhibit an ACAT enzyme of a type present in the blood vessel wall can be those for treating arteriosclerosis that give less side effects, and have conducted synthesis and researches of such inhibitors.


The present inventors continued studies for achieving this object, and found in advance that compounds represented by the formula (IV)

    • represents an optionally substituted divalent residue such as benzene, pyridine, cyclohexane or naphthalene or a group,
      embedded image
    • Ar represents an optionally substituted aryl group
    • X represents —NH—, an oxygen atom or a sulfur atom,

    • Z represents a single bond or —NR5—,
    • R4 represents a hydrogen atom, a lower alkyl group, an aryl group or an optionally substituted silyl lower alkyl group,
    • R5 represents a hydrogen atom, a lower alkyl group, an aryl group or an optionally substituted silyl lower alkyl group, and
    • n is an integer of from 0 to 15,


      or salts or solvates thereof, and compounds represented by the formula (V)
      embedded image
    • represents an optionally substituted divalent residue such as benzene, pyridine, cyclohexane or naphthalene, or a group,
      embedded image
    • Ar represents an optionally substituted aryl group,
    • X represents —NH—, an oxygen atom or a sulfur atom,
    • Y represents —NR4—, an oxygen atom, a sulfur atom, a sulfoxide or a sulfone,
    • Z represents a single bond or —NR5—,
    • R4 represents a hydrogen atom, a lower alkyl group, an aryl group or an optionally substituted silyl lower alkyl group,
    • R5 represents a hydrogen atom, a lower alkyl group, an aryl group or an optionally substituted silyl lower alkyl group,
    • l is an integer of from 0 to 15,
    • m is an integer of 2 or 3, and
    • n is integer of from 0 to 3,


      or salts or solvates thereof have an excellent ACAT inhibitory activity, and they applied the same for patents (Japanese Patent Application Nos. 88,660/1997, 90,146/1997 and 149,892/1997).


Further, as compounds similar to the compounds represented by the formula (I), 3-(benzothiazol-2-ylthio)-N-(phenyl)propanamide is disclosed in J. Chem. Eng. Data, 27, 207 (1982), and 3-(benzoxazol-2-ylthio)-N-(phenyl)propanamide in Fungitsidy, Ed. Melnikov, N. N. Izd. Fan Uzb. SSR: Tashkent, USSR. 82-88 (1980). However, these compounds are not only those in which an amide moiety is a phenyl group, but also these documents are totally devoid of the description that the compounds have an ACAT inhibitory activity.


Thus, the present inventors found that the compounds represented by the formula (IV) or (V) have an organ-selective ACAT inhibitory activity and an intracellular cholesterol transfer inhibitory activity, and that these are useful as an antihyperlipemic agent having an activity of decreasing blood cholesterol and as an agent for preventing and treating arteriosclerosis having a macrophage foamation inhibitory activity.


However, the compounds represented by these formulas (IV) and (V) did not necessarily have a sufficient activity, nor was the organ-selectivity satisfactory.


Under these circumstances, the present inventors have conducted further investigations to develop an ACAT inhibitor having a superior ACAT inhibitory activity, and have consequently found that the compounds represented by the formula (I) are useful ACAT inhibitors which conquer the above-mentioned defects. This finding has led to the completion of the present invention.

A process for producing the compounds of the present invention is described below.


Compounds (I) can be produced by various known processes, and the process is not particularly limited. For example, compounds (I) can be produced according to the following reaction steps.


1. Process for Producing Compounds of the Formula (I) when the Substituent Z is a Single Bond:


A carboxylic acid represented by the formula (VII) or its reactive derivative, for example, an acid halide, is reacted with a heterocyclic amine represented by the formula (VIII) according to the following reaction formulae
embedded image

wherein R6 represents a leaving group, and R7 represents a reactive derivative residue of a hydroxyl group or a carboxylate group, to form an amide derivative represented by the formula (IX). When the resulting compound of the formula (IX) is reacted with an azole derivative represented by the formula (X), a desired compound (I′) in which the substituent Z in the formula (I) is a single bond can be produced.


An ordinary method used in peptide synthesis can be applied to the reaction between compounds (VII) and (VIII). Examples of the leaving group R6 in the formula (VII) include halogen atoms such as chlorine and bromine atoms. Preferable examples of the reactive derivative residue R7 include acid anhydride residues with mesylic acid, tosylic acid, acetic acid, pivaloylic acid and the like. This reaction is described more specifically below. The desired compound can be obtained by reacting both of the compounds in a solvent in the presence of a condensation agent. As the condensation agent, for example, 1-(3′-dimethylaminopropyl)-3-ethylcarbodiimide (WSC) and 1,3-dicyclohexylcarbodiimide (DCC) may be used singly, and a combination of 1-hydroxybenzotriazole (HOBt) and N-hydroxysuccinimide (HOSu) is also available. The solvent is not particularly limited. For example, dimethylformamide, methylene chloride, chloroform, tetrahydrofuran and toluene can be used either singly or in combination. The reaction conditions vary depending on a starting material to be used. Generally, the reaction is conducted at from 0 to 100° C., preferably at a temperature close to room temperature, for from 1 to 30 hours, preferably for from 10 to 20 hours. In this manner, the reaction is completed. Further, when a carbonyl halide having a high reactivity is used as compound (VII), for example, compounds (VII) and (VIII) can be reacted in the presence of a base, for example, triethylamine, 4-dimethylaminopyridine or N-methylmorpholine in a usual manner.


With respect to starting compounds (VII) and (VIII), for example, compound (VII) can be produced by a method in which a haloalkyl alcohol is oxidized into a carboxylic acid with a Jones' reagent or the like, and compound (VIII) by a method in which a nitrated heterocyclic compound is subjected to a reduction reaction such as a catalytic reduction or the like to obtain a corresponding amino heterocyclic compound, respectively.


The reaction between compounds (IX) and (X) obtained by the above-mentioned methods can be conducted in a solvent in the presence or absence of a base. As the solvent, the above-mentioned various types can be used. The base includes inorganic bases, for example, alkali metal hydroxides such as sodium hydroxide and potassium hydroxide, alkali metal carbonates such as sodium carbonate and potassium carbonate, and alkali metal hydrogencarbonates such as sodium hydrogencarbonate and potassium hydrogencarbonate; and organic bases such as pyridine, triethylamine, N,N-diisopropylethylamine, N-methylmorpholine and N,N-dimethylaniline.


Further, with respect to the desired compound represented by the formula (I′), according to the reaction shown by the following formula
embedded image

    • wherein R6 represents a leaving group, and R7 represents a reactive derivative residue of a hydroxyl group or a carboxylate group, an azole derivative represented by the formula (X) is reacted with a free carboxylic acid or an inactive substance of a carboxylic acid as the compound represented by the formula (VII) to obtain a carboxylic acid derivative represented by the formula (XI). When the resulting compound represented by the formula (XI) or its reactive derivative, for example, an acid halide, is reacted with a heterocyclic amine derivative represented by the formula (VIII), the desired compound (I′) in which the substituent Z in the formula (I) is a single bond can be produced.


The reaction between compounds (X) and (VII) can be conducted according to the second step of the above-mentioned reaction formula. The reaction in which potassium hydroxide is used as a base and ethanol as a solvent respectively is especially preferable. The reaction between the resulting compounds (XI) and (VIII) can be conducted according to the first step of the above-mentioned reaction formula.


2. Process for Producing Compounds of the Formula (I) when the Substituent Z is —NH—:


The compound represented by the formula (I) in which Z is —NH— can be produced by various processes. It is preferable to produce the same by the process shown by the following reaction formula.

    • wherein R8 represents a leaving group.


The isocyanate derivative represented by the formula (XII) is reacted with the heterocyclic amine represented by the formula (VIII) to obtain an urea derivative represented by the formula (XIII). The resulting urea derivative is reacted with compound (X) to form desired compound (I″) in which the substituent Z in the formula (I) is —NH—.


With respect to the reaction between compounds (XII) and (VIII) in the first step of this reaction formula, compound (XII) is reacted with compound (VIII) in an amount of from 1 to 2 equivalents in a solvent to obtain compound (XIII). At this time, the solvent is not particularly limited. Preferable examples thereof include methylene chloride, chloroform, ether, tetrahydrofuran, toluene, xylene and dimethylformamide. The reaction proceeds in a boiling point of a solvent used from 0° C. for a reaction time of from 1 to 24 hours.


The isocyanate derivative represented by the formula (XII) is a known compound, and it can be produced by, for example, a method in which the above-mentioned carboxylic acid as compound (VII) is reacted with diphenylphospholyl azide in the presence of a base (method of Shioiri et al.), a method via an acid azide by reacting the acid halide of compound (VII) with sodium azide.


The reaction between compounds (XIII) and (X) can be conducted according to the second step of the above-mentioned reaction formula.


Further, when the substituent Z in the formula (I) is —NR5— (wherein R5 represents the above-mentioned groups except a hydrogen atom), the compound can be produced by replacing a nitrogen atom with the substituent R5 at an appropriate stage.


The intermediate and the desired compound obtained in each of the above-mentioned reactions can be isolated and purified by a purification method which is ordinarily used in the synthetic organic chemistry, such as filtration, extraction, washing, drying, concentration, recrystallization and various chromatographies. Further, each intermediate is subjected to the subsequent step without any purification unless any trouble is caused, which is well known to those skilled in the art.


The resulting compounds (I) can be formed into salts of the present invention in a usual manner.


Further, compounds (I) can be formed into solvates with solvents such as a reaction solvent, a recrystallization solvent and the like, especially hydrides in a usual manner, which is well known to those skilled in the art.


The compounds represented by the formula (I), (II) or (III), which are obtained by the process of the present invention are shown in Tables 1 to 63 below.

The ACAT inhibitory activity of the compounds represented by the formula (I) in the present invention was tested in the following Experiment Examples.


EXPERIMENT EXAMPLE 1
(ACAT Inhibitory Activity)

A microsome was prepared from the breast aorta of a rabbit which had been fed with 1% cholesterol food for 8 weeks in a usual manner, and suspended in a 0.15 M phosphate buffer solution (pH 7.4) to form an enzyme solution. An enzyme solution derived from the small intestine was prepared from the small intestine of a rabbit that had eaten a normal food.


The ACAT inhibitory activity was measured by modifying the method of J. G. Heider (J. Lipid Res., 24, 1127-1134, 1983). That is, 2 μl of a test compound dissolved in dimethyl sulfoxide (DMSO) were added to 88 μl of a 0.15 M phosphate buffer solution (pH 7.4) containing 14C-Oleoyl-CoA (40 μM, 60,000 dpm) and bovine serum albumin (2.4 mg/ml), and the mixture was incubated at 37° C. for 5 minutes.


To this solution were added 10 μl of the enzyme solution, and the mixture-was reacted at 37° C. for 5 minutes (for 3 minutes in the case of the small intestine). Then, 3 ml of a chloroform/methanol (2/1) mixture and 0.5 ml of 0.04 N hydrochloric acid were added thereto to stop the reaction. The lipid was then extracted. The solvent layer was concentrated to dryness, and dissolved in hexane. The solution was spotted on a TLC plate (supplied by Merck Co.). The elution was conducted with a hexane:ether:acetic acid (75:25:1) mixture.


The radioactivity of the resulting cholesterol ester fraction was measured using-BAS 2000 (supplied by Fuji Photo Film Co., Ltd.). An IC50 value was obtained from the calculation in contrast with a control containing only DMSO. The results are shown in Table 79.

EXPERIMENT EXAMPLE 2

(ACAT Inhibitory Activity (Anti-Foamation Activity) in J744 Cells and HepG2 Cells)


J774 cells or HepG2 cells were spread on a 24-well plate. The cells were incubated in a 5% CO2 incubator at 37° C. for 24 hours using DMEM in the case of the J774 cells and a MEM culture solution in the case of the HepG2 cells (both containing 10% fetal calf serum).


The medium was replaced with 0.5 ml of each culture solution containing 10 μg/ml of 25-OH cholesterol and a test piece, and the cells were further incubated for 18 hours.


The medium was removed, and the residue was washed twice with PBS, then extracted with 1.5 ml of a hexane:isopropanol (3:2) mixture, and concentrated to dryness. The extract was dissolved in 0.2 ml of isopropanol containing 10% Triton X-100. Total cholesterol (TC) and free cholesterol (FC) were measured using Cholesterol E Test Wako (supplied by Wako Pure Chemical Industries, Ltd.) and Free Cholesterol E Test Wako (supplied by Wako Pure Chemical Industries, Ltd.).


The cell extract residue was solubilized in 0.25 ml of 2N NaOH at 37° C. for 30 minutes, and the protein amount was measured using BCA Protein Assay Reagent (Pierce).


The amount of cholesterol based on the protein was calculated from the difference between TC and FC, and an IC50 value was obtained from the calculation in contrast with the control. The results are shown in Table 80.

A methanol (50 ml) solution of 2-chloro-3-nitropyridine (4.30 g, 27.1 mmol) was added dropwise to a methanol (30 ml) solution of sodium thiomethoxide (2.10 g, 28.5 mmol) while being cooled with ice, and the mixed solution was stirred for 17 hours. Water was then added to the reaction mixture, and the resulting mixture was extracted with ethyl acetate. The organic layer was washed with a saturated aqueous solution of sodium chloride, and dried over sodium sulfate. Subsequently, the solvent was distilled off, and the resulting crystals were recrystallized from a mixture of an ethyl acetate-hexane mixture to obtain 2.93 g (yield 64%) of 2-methylthio-3-nitropyridine as a yellow needle crystal.


This nitropyridine (851 mg, 5.0 mmol) was dissolved in a mixed solvent of acetic acid (35 ml) and conc. hydrochloric acid (1.4 ml), and zinc (3.92 g, 60 mmol) was added thereto in small portions while being cooled with ice. After the mixture was stirred for 30 minutes, the reaction mixture was filtered, and the filtrate was neutralized with an aqueous solution of sodium hydrogencarbonate, and extracted with methylene chloride. The organic layer was washed with water and then with a saturated aqueous solution of sodium chloride, and dried over sodium sulfate. Subsequently, the solvent was distilled off to obtain 600 mg (yield 86%) of 3-amino-2-methylthiopyridine as a pale yellow oil.


Triethylamine (520 mg, 5.14 mmol) was added to a THF (7 ml) solution of this aminopyridine (600 mg, 4.28 mmol). Subsequently, 6-bromohexanoyl chloride (1.10 g, 5.14 mmol) was slowly added dropwise thereto while being cooled with ice, and the mixture was stirred at room temperature for 3 hours. The reaction mixture was diluted with water, and extracted with ethyl acetate. The organic layer was washed with water and then with a saturated aqueous solution of sodium chloride, and dried over sodium sulfate. Thereafter, the solvent was distilled off, and the resulting crude product was purified through silica gel chromatography (silica gel 125 g, eluent−hexane:ethyl acetate=6:1→3:1→2:1) to obtain 1.08 g (yield 79%) of 6-bromo-N-(2-methylthio-3-pyridyl)hexanamide as a colorless needle crystal (melting point: 66 to 67° C.).


To a DMF (2 ml) solution of this amide (159 mg, 0.5 mmol) and 2-mercaptobenzoxazole (83 mg, 0.55 mmol) were added 18-crown-6 (13 mg, 0.05 mmol) and potassium carbonate (83 mg, 0.6 mmol), and the mixture was stirred at 80° C. for 3 hours. The reaction mixture was diluted with water, and extracted with ethyl acetate. The organic layer was washed with water and then with a saturated aqueous solution of sodium chloride, and dried over sodium sulfate. Subsequently, the solvent was distilled off, and the resulting crude product was purified through silica gel chromatography (silica gel 20 g, eluent−hexane:ethyl acetate=5:2→2:1) to obtain 156 g (yield 81%) of a desired compound as a colorless needle crystal.

Production of 2-(benzoxazol-2-ylthio)-N-[2,4-bis(ethylthio)-6-methyl-3-pyridyl]acetamide

Ethanethiol (1.55 g, 25 mmol) was added dropwise to an ethanol (50 ml) solution of sodium ethoxide (1.27 g, 25 mmol) while being cooled with ice, and the mixture was stirred for 30 minutes. While being cooled with ice, a DMF (40 ml) solution of 2,4-dichloro-6-methyl-3-nitropyridine (2.1 g, 10 mmol) was slowly added thereto dropwise. After the mixture was stirred for 2 hours, the reaction mixture was extracted with ethyl acetate. The organic layer was washed with water and then with a saturated aqueous solution of sodium chloride, and dried over sodium sulfate. Subsequently, the solvent was distilled off to obtain 2.45 g (yield 95%) of 2,4-bis(ethylthio)-6-methyl-3-nitropyridine as a yellow needle crystal.


This nitropyridine (775 mg, 3 mmol) was dissolved in a mixed solvent of acetic acid (30 ml) and conc. hydrochloric acid (1.5 ml), and zinc (4 g, 60 mmol) was added thereto in small portions while being cooled with ice. After the mixture was stirred for 10 minutes, the reaction mixture was filtered, and the filtrate was neutralized with a sodium hydroxide aqueous solution, and extracted with ethyl acetate. The organic layer was washed with water and then with a saturated aqueous solution of sodium chloride, and dried over sodium sulfate. Subsequently, the solvent was distilled off to obtain 590 mg (yield 86%) of 3-amino-2,6-bis(ethylthio)-6-methylpyridine as a yellow oil. Triethylamine (304 mg, 3 mmol) was added to a THF (10 ml) solution of this aminopyridine (590 mg, 2.6 mmol), and bromoacetyl bromide (606 mg, 3 mmol) was then slowly added thereto dropwise while being cooled with ice. The mixture was stirred at room temperature for 1 hour. The reaction mixture was filtered, and the filtrate was concentrated. Then, the residue was purified through silica gel chromatography (silica gel 60 g, eluent−hexane:acetone=10:1→5:1) to obtain 410 mg (yield 45%) of 2-bromo-N-[2,4-bis(ethylthio)-6-methyl-3-pyridyl]acetamide as a light brown needle crystal. Potassium carbonate (46 mg, 0.33 mmol) was added to an acetonitrile (3 ml) solution of this amide (105 mg, 0.3 mmol) and 2-mercaptobenzoxazole (45 mg, 0.3 mmol), and the mixture was stirred at room temperature for 2 hours. The reaction mixture was extracted with ethyl acetate. The organic layer was washed with water and then with a saturated aqueous solution of sodium chloride, and dried over magnesium sulfate. Subsequently, the solvent was distilled off, and the resulting crude product was purified through preparative thin-layer chromatography (eluent−hexane:ethyl acetate=3:1) to obtain 70 mg (yield 56%) of the desired compound as a colorless needle crystal.

The reaction solution was added to ice and then extracted with ethyl acetate. The organic layer was washed with water and then with a saturated aqueous solution of sodium chloride, and dried over magnesium sulfate. Thereafter, the solvent was distilled off, and the resulting crude product was purified through silica gel chromatography (eluent−hexane:ethyl acetate=20:1) to obtain 194 mg (yield 77%) of 4,6-dichloro-2-methyl-5-nitropyrimidine as a colorless needle crystal.


And then a methanol (10 mml) solution of 4,6-dichloro-2-methyl-5-nitropyrimidine (1.0 g. 4.81 mmol) was added dropwise to a methanol (10 ml) solution of sodium thiomethoxide (780 mg, 10.6 mmol) while being cooled with ice, and after the mixture was stirred for 1 hour while being cooled with ice, water added to the reaction mixture and the mixture was extracted with ethyl acetate. The organic layer was washed with water and then with a saturated aqueous solution of sodium chloride, and dried over magnesium sulfate. Thereafter, the solvent was distilled off, and the resulting crude product was recrystalized with ethyl acetate-hexan to obtain 609 mg (yield 55%) of 4,6-bis(methylthio)-2-methyl-5-nitropyrimidine.


Potassium carbonate (119 mg, 0.865 mmol) and pratinum dioxide (40 mg, 0.18 mmol) were added to ethanol (100 ml) solution of this nitropyrimidine (100 mg, 0.43 mmol) and stirred in hydrogen. After 1.5 hours, the reaction mixture was filtered, the fltrate was distilled off, and the resulting crude product was purified through silica gel chromatography (eluent−hexane:ethyl acetate=6:1) to obtain 66 mg (yield 76%) of 5-amino-4,6-bis(methylthio)-2-methylpyrimidine.
