The present invention relates to novel compounds of the general formula (I), which are selective and peripherally acting KOR agonist, their tautomeric forms, their enantiomers, their diastereoisomers, their stereoisomers, their pharmaceutically accepted salts, or prodrugs thereof which are useful in the treatment or prevention of diseases in which the Kappa (κ) opioid receptors (KOR) are involved, such as treatment or prevention of visceral pain, hyperalgesia, rheumatoid arthritic inflammation, osteoarthritic inflammation, IBD inflammation, IBS inflammation, ocular inflammation, otitic inflammation or autoimmune inflammation. The invention also relates to process for the manufacture of said compounds, and pharmaceutical compositions containing them and their use.
There are three types of opioid receptors Mu (μ), Kappa (κ), and Delta (δ)), found to be expressed in both the CNS and in the periphery and the available opioid analgesics mediate their effects through these opioid receptors (Evans, C., Keith, J. D., Morrison, H., Magendzo, K and Edwards, R., Science, 258, 1952-1955, 1992; Cox, B. M., Mol. Pharmacol., 83, 723-728, 2013; Chen, Y., Mestek, A., Liu, J., Hurley, J and Yu, L., Mol. Pharmacol., 44, 8-12, 1993; Meng, F., Xie, G. X., Thompson, R., Mansour, A., Goldstein, A., Watson, S. J and Akil, H., Proc. Natl. Acad. Sci., U.S.A., 90, 9954-9958, 1993; Simonin, F., Gaveriaux, R. C., Befort, K., Matthes, H., Lannes, B., Micheletti, G., Maffei, M. G., Charron, G., Bloch, B and Kieffer, B., Proc. Natl. Acad. Sci., U.S.A., 92, 7006-7010, 1995; Stein, C., Anesth. Analg., 76, 182-191, 1993). Most of the opioid analgesics at present, for example, morphine, act by binding to the μ-opioid receptor, and their analgesic potency are associated with a spectrum of undesirable side effects, such as physical dependence, respiratory depression, urinary retention, constipation, euphoria/dysphoria and constipation (Pasternak, G. W., Clin. Neuropharmacol., 16, 1-18, 1993).
In recent years, considerable attention has been focused on the development of receptor selective κ-agonists as potent and efficacious analgesics devoid of the undesirable side effects of the μ analgesics (Barber, A and Gottschlich, R., Med. Res. Rev., 12, 525-562, 1992). Unlike agonist at δ and μ receptors, agonist at κ-opioid receptors do not elicit constipation and euphoria. The κ-opioid receptors are members of the superfamily of G protein-coupled receptors (GPCRs). Agonist binding to the receptors activates the intracellular associated Gi protein, which decreases Ca2+ channel conductance or inhibits adenylyl cyclase (AC) (Prather, P. L., McGinn, T. M., Claude, P. A., Liu-Chen, L. Y., Loh, H. H and Law, P. Y., Mol. Brain. Res., 29, 336-346, 1995). Hence, κ-opioid agonists have been suggested to have potential for treatment of incisional/inflammatory pain, burn injury pain (Field, M. J., Carnell, A. J., Gonzalez, M. I., McCleary, S., Oles, R. J., Smith, R., Hughes, J and Singh, L., Pain, 80, 383-389, 1999), neuropathic pain (Catheline, G., Guilbaud, G and Kayser, V., Eur. J. Pharmacol., 357, 171-178, 1998), visceral pain including dysmenorrhea or gastrointestinal pain (DelgadoAros, S., Chial, H. J., Camilleri, M., Szarka, L. A., Weber, F. T., Jacob, J., Ferber, I., McKinzie, S., Burton, D. D and Zinsmeister, A. R., Am. J. Physiol. Gastrointest. Liver Phsyiol., 284, G558-G566, 2002), Irritable bowel syndrome (IBS) (Dapoigny, M., Abitbol, J. L., Fraitag, B., Digest. Dis. Sci., 40, 2244-2249, 1995; Mangel, A. W., Bornstein, J. D., Hamm, L. R., Buda, J., Wang, J., Irish, W., Urso, D., Pharmacol. Ther., 28, 239-249, 2008) rheumatoid arthritis (Endoh, T., Tajima, A., Suzuki, T., Kamei, J., Suzuki, T., Narita, M., Tseng, L and Nagase, H., Eur. J. Pharmacol. 387, 133-140, 2000) and anti-pruritis effects (Peters, G and Gaylor, S., Clin. Pharmacol. Ther., 51, PPF-5, 1989). Walker et al., (Walker, J. S., Adv. Exp. Med. Biol., 521, 148-60, 2003) appraised the anti-inflammatory properties of kappa agonists for treatment of osteoarthritis, rheumatoid arthritis, inflammatory bowel disease and eczema.
Bileviciute-Ljungar et al., (Bileviciute-Ljungar, T. Saxne, and M. Spetea, Rheumatology, 45, 295-302, 2006) describe the reduction of pain and degeneration in Freund's adjuvant-induced arthritis by the kappa agonist U-50,488. Thus, the κ-receptors represent important therapeutic targets (Pan, Z. Z., Tershner, S. A., Fields, H. L., Nature, 389, 382-385, 1997; Chavkin, C., Neuropsychopharmacology, 36, 369-370, 2011).
κ-opioid receptors exist extensively in the central nervous system (CNS) and play important roles in many physiological and pathological functions. Inspite of such potential applications, clinical studies have shown that κ-receptor agonist elicit severe centrally mediated side effects generally described as “dysphoric actions” (Pfeiffer, A., Brantl, V., Herz, A and Emrich, H. M., Science, 233, 774-776, 1986), water diuresis (Dykstra, L. A., Gmerek, D. E., Winger, G and Woods, J. H., J. Pharmacol. Exp. Ther., 242, 413-420, 1987) and psychotomimetic effects (Rimoy, G. H., Wright, D. M., Bhaskar, N. K., Rubin, P. C, Eur. J. Clin. Pharmacol. 46 (3), 203-207, 1994). These side effects have apparently halted further clinical development for this class of compounds. Many studies have shown that opiates have peripheral analgesic effects, especially under inflammatory or hyperalgesic conditions (Barber, A and Gottschlich, R., Med. Res. Rev., 12, 525-562, 1992).
Agonist at κ-opioid receptors have been shown to produce analgesia and decrease inflammation in models of rheumatoid arthritis after local administration (Wilson, J. L., Nayanar, V and Walker, J. S., Br. J. Pharmacol., 118, 1754-1760, 1996). Restricted CNS penetration is a common strategy to reduce central side effects of drugs with beneficial peripheral actions. Attempts were made to develop peripherally restricted κ-opioid agonists, such as ICI204448 (Shaw, J. S., Carroll, J. A., Alcoc, P and Main, B. G., Br. J. Pharmacol., 96, 986-992, 1989), GR94839 (Rogers, H., Birch, P. J., Harrison, S. M., Palmer, E., Manchee, G. R., Judd, D. B., Naylor, A., Scopes, D. I. C and Hayes, A. G., Br. J. Pharmacol., 106, 783-789, 1992) and EMD61753/Asimadoline (Barber, A., Bartoszyk, G. D., Bender, H. M., Gottschlich, R., Greiner, H. E., Harting, J., Mauler, F., Minck, K. O., Murray, R. D., Simon, M and Seyfried, C. A., Br. J. Pharmacol., 113, 1317-1327, 1994).
Unfortunately, other than Asimadoline, most of these compounds were discontinued in clinical trials due to either poor bioavailability, lack of efficacy or CNS side effects at analgesic doses (Barber, A and Gottschlich, R., Exp. Opin. Invest. Drugs, 6, 1351-1368, 1997). Asimadoline was designed and synthesized to differentiate itself from other reported peripheral KOR agonists such as ICI 204448, GR94839, and BRL 52974. Asimadoline is an amphiphilic molecule that contains a hydrophobic diphenyl methyl group and a hydrophilic hydroxyl group. Asimadoline successfully passed a phase II clinical trial in irritable bowel syndrome (IBS) and currently, it is under phase III clinical trial for the treatment of patients with diarrhea-predominant IBS (D-IBS). CR665 and CR845 are tetrapeptides consisting of all D-amino acids that bind very potently and selectively to KOR. Dooley et al., (Dooley, C. T., Ny, P., Bidlack, J. M and Houghten, R. A., J. Biol. Chem., 273, 18848-18856, 1998) reported the discovery of tetrapeptide (FE200041/CR665) as a high affinity and selective κ-opioid agonist. The data demonstrate that FE200041 is a highly selective κ-opioid antinociceptive agent without CNS side effects at doses higher than efficacy doses. The peripheral antinociceptive actions of FE20041 suggest that it is possible to develop peripherally restricted opioid peptides for use in controlling pain. Similarly, in Phase I study, CR845 appeared to be well tolerated with no signs of dysphoria or psychotomimetic effects and provides the opportunity to see the potential analgesic activity of a peripheral KOR agonist which to date has been shown to be devoid of serious CNS adverse events.
The most important selective κ-agonists developed so far are the arylacetamide derivatives. Since the discovery of the one of the first selective arylacetamide κ-agonists (U-50,488), in the early 1970s, which displayed analgesic effects invivo and did not produce respiratory depression, constipation, or tolerance, a number of related, but chemically diverse, arylacetamide κ-agonists have been reported (Lahti, R. A., VonVoigtlander, P. F., Barsuhn, C., Life Sci., 31, 2257-2260, 1982). Among them, ICI 199441, were found to be 146-fold more potent than U-50,488 invitro. However, these centrally acting κ-agonists produced their own set of CNS side effects such as dysphoria and diuresis, which prevented their further development as analgesic therapeutics. There has been an interest in the preparation of peripherally acting opioid agonists that have limited or no access to the CNS in an effort to reduce or eliminate these side effects (Stein, C., Anesth. Analg., 76, 182-191, 1993; Stein, C and Lang, L. J., Curr. Opin. Pharmacol., 9, 3-8, 2009).
Introducing polar or charged group into ligands has been attempted in order to enhance their CNS/PNS (peripheral nervous system) selectivity. However, polarization of the opioid may result in significant reduction in potency. Thus a continuing need exists for selective and potent opioid ligands with high κ-receptor activity and low CNS penetration (DeHaven-Hudkins, D. L and Dolle, R. E., Curr. Pharm. Des., 10, 743-757, 2004). Various classes of compounds featuring KOR agonist activity have been described in the literature.

Using the above procedure, following compounds listed in Table-2 can be prepared.
a) Ex-Vivo KOR Agonistic Activity Testing, Using Electrically Stimulated Mouse Vas Deferens (MVD) Model:
Ex-vivo, the kappa opioid receptor agonistic activity of test compounds were tested on the electrically stimulated mouse vas deferens (MVD) preparations (Henderson et al., Br. J. Pharmacol., 46, 764-766, 1972; Portoghese et al., Life Sci. 36, 801-805, 1985) and IC50 were determined. In general, vas deferentia were taken from male Swiss Albino mice (30-40 g) and suspended in 8 ml organ baths, at 31° C., containing modified Krebs-Henseleit solution, without magnesium sulphate. Each vas deferens was equilibrated for 45 min at 2.6 mN tension and then stimulated at supramaximal voltage with five 1 ms pulses, at a frequency of 0.1 Hz. Concentration-response curves were determined by cumulative dosing. Inhibitory Concentration, 50% (IC50) values were determined by Sigmoidal dose-response (variable slope) equation, using Prizm v 6.01. The kappa opioid receptor specificity was determined by rightward shift in concentration-response curves in presence of 1 nM norbinaltorphimine (norBNI), a selective kappa opioid receptor antagonist. The ex-vivo kappa opioid receptor agonistic activities (IC50) for representative compounds are listed in Table 3.
b) Invitro (EC50) Determination, Using cAMP Based Functional Assay:
Invitro, KOR agonistic activity of test compounds were assessed using cAMP based functional assay. A 96-well plate was seeded at the density of 30,000 cells/well in 100 μl/well of complete Ham's F-12 medium. After seeding, the plates were incubated overnight at 37° C., 5% CO2 in CO2 Incubator. Overnight medium was discarded and plate washed with 100 μl/well of sterile PBS. Then 90 μl of 0.1 mM IBMX containing 0.5% Fatty acid free BSA in plain HamsF12 was added to each well. This was allowed to incubate for 30 minutes at 37° C., 5% CO2. Forskolin 20 μM in 0.5% Fatty acid free BSA was added to each well and allowed to incubate at room temperature for 5 minutes. Dilution of test compounds was made at 200× in DMSO and then diluted 1:10 times in BSA containing plain HamsF12. Agonist (test compounds, in 10% DMSO) was added to each well (5 μl) and allowed to incubate for 20 minutes at 37° C., 5% CO2. After 20 minutes, media was aspirated from the wells and the wells were washed with 1×PBS. Cell lysis buffer 4× (Arbor Assays, Cat # X074-60ML) was diluted 1:4 in MilliQ and 90 μl of this buffer was added per well. Cells were allowed to shake at 500 rpm, room temperature for 20 minutes. Cell lysate was collected in 1.5 ml eppendorf tubes and centrifuged at 13.2 k rpm, 4° C. for 15 minutes. 50 μl of the supernatant of cell lysate was then used for cAMP estimation by cAMP direct ELISA kit (Arbor Assays, Cat # K019-H5). The invitro kappa opioid receptor agonistic activities (EC50) for representative compounds are listed in Table 3
All the animal experiments were carried out in ICR mice, bred in-house. Animals were housed in groups of 6 animals per cage, for a week, in order to habituate them to vivarium conditions (25±4° C., 60-65% relative humidity, 12:12 h light: dark cycle, with lights on at 7.30 am). All the animal experiments were carried out according to the internationally valid guidelines following approval by the ‘Zydus Research Center animal ethical committee’.
Following oral or i.v. administration of test compounds, mice are rested for 5 min before i.p. injection with 10 ml/kg of 0.6% v/v acetic acid in normal saline. Mice were observed for writhes for 15 min in a 10×10 inch chamber. A writhe is defined as a constriction of the abdominal area, often with extension of the hind legs. Percentage maximum possible effect (MPE) was calculated as below:
% MPE=100−[(No. of writhes in treated mice/No. of writhes in vehicle treated mice)]×100
ED50 dose is determined using GraphPad Prism. Representative data of some of the test compounds are listed in Table-4.
Assessment of CNS Effects of Test Compounds
Test compounds were dissolved in normal saline injected by oral or i.v., routes in ICR mice tail vein. The first dose of 3 mg/kg was injected and mice were observed for spontaneous locomotion and sedation and catalepsy. The dose is scaled down or up if pharmacodynamic effect is present or absent respectively. The lowest dose which shows pharmacodynamic effect was considered threshold dose (TD). Representative data of some of the test compounds are listed in Table-4.
These compounds are useful in alleviating the pain and suffering inflicted by chronic inflammatory diseases such as rheumatoid arthritis as well as the treatment of gastrointestinal motility disorders such as ileus induced by surgery or peritonitis. A preferred utility is to produce peripheral analgesia without the CNS-mediated side effects of opioids. For example, the abdominal pain induced by laproscopic surgery can be reduced.
