Novel thiazine derivatives

TECHNICAL FIELD

[0002] The present invention relates to novel 3-oxo-3,4-dihydro-2H-1,4-thiazine derivatives or 2-oxo-1,2,3,4-tetrahydropyrazine derivatives being useful as pharmaceuticals.

BACKGROUND ART

[0003] Compounds having 3-oxo-3,4-dihydro-2H-1,4-thiazine or 2-oxo-1,2,3,4-tetrahydropyrazine as a main skeleton, which are compounds having one double bond in their ring, have scarcely been studied. There were only reports concerning a study of introducing a phenyl group into the 5th-position of 3-oxo-3,4-dihydro-2H-1,4-thiazine derivatives (Japanese Laid-open Patent Publication No. 275869/1990), a study of synthesis of 2-oxo-1,2,3,4-tetrahydropyrazine derivatives as synthetic intermediates of 1,5-imino-3-benzoazocine derivatives aiming at analgesics or antitussives (Japanese Laid-open Patent Publication No. 35176/1983) and the like.

[0004] Much less, there has been no report relating to a study wherein various substituents are introduced into a nitrogen atom at the 4th-position of the 3-oxo-3,4-dihydro-2H-1,4-thiazine derivatives or into a nitrogen atom at the 1 st-position of the 2-oxo-1,2,3,4-tetrahydropyrazine derivatives and their pharmaceutical utility is examined. In particular, compounds having carboxy-lower alkylene converted into amide, which are subjects of the present invention, have not been studied at all.

[0005] It is a very interesting subject to synthesize novel compounds having 3-oxo-3,4-dihydro-2H-1,4-thiazine or 2-oxo-1,2,3,4-tetrahydropyrazine as a main skeleton wherein various substituents are introduced into the nitrogen atom in their ring and to study their pharmaceutical utility.

DISCLOSURE OF THE INVENTION

[0006] The present inventors studied preparation of various novel compounds having 3-oxo-3,4-dihydro-2H-1,4-thiazine or 2-oxo-1,2,3,4-tetrahydropyrazine as a main skeleton. Targets of the study are 1) to prepare novel compounds wherein carboxy-lower alkylene converted into amide is introduced into a nitrogen atom at the 4th-position of 3-oxo-3,4-dihydro-2H-1,4-thiazine derivatives or into a nitrogen atom at the 1St-position of 2-oxo-1,2,3,4-tetrahydropyrazine derivatives, and 2) to prepare novel compounds wherein various substituents are introduced into a nitrogen atom at the 4th-position of the 2-oxo-1,2,3,4-tetrahydropyrazine derivatives. As a result, the present inventors succeeded in preparing many novel compounds as mentioned later. Studying their pharmacological actions, these novel compounds were found to exhibit chymase inhibitory effects and to be useful as pharmaceuticals. The present inventors succeeded also in preparing novel compounds which are useful as synthetic intermediates in a process of the preparation of the above-mentioned 3-oxo-3,4-dihydro-2H-1,4-thiazine derivatives or 2-oxo-1,2,3,4-tetrahydropyrazine derivatives.

[0144] Synthetic route C: compound [III]→compound [IV]→compound [V]→compound [VI]→compound [II]→compound [I]

[0145] These synthetic routes are specifically described hereinafter.

[0146] Synthetic Method A:

[0147] The compound [III] and the amine derivative [VII] are condensed by a general method for formation of amide linkage to give the present compound [I]. Specific examples of the method are a method using a dehydrating condensing agent such as 1-(3-dimethylaminopropyl)-3-ethylcarbodiimide hydrochloride or 1,3-dicyclohexylcarbodiimide, and a method using mixed acid anhydride such as isobutyl chloroformate.

[0148] Synthetic method B:

[0149] The compound [III] and the amine derivative [VIII] are condensed by a method similar to the synthetic method A to give the present synthetic intermediate [II]. Then, the hydroxyl group of the compound [II] is oxidized by a general oxidation method (for example, Swern oxidation method, Moffatt oxidation method, Dess-Martin oxidation method or the like) to give the present compound [I].

[0150] Synthetic method C:

[0151] The compound [I] and the amine derivative [IX] are condensed by a method similar to the synthetic method A to give the compound [IV]. Then, the hydroxyl group of the compound [IV] is oxidized by a general oxidation method (for example, Swern oxidation method, Moffatt oxidation method, Dess-Martin oxidation method or the like) to give the compound [V]. Further, the compound [V] is reacted with potassium cyanide to give the cyanohydrin derivative [VI]. Then, the compound [VI] is reacted with acetyl chloride and a lower alcohol (for example, ethanol or the like) to convert it into an iminoester derivative, and this derivative is reacted with the aminoalcohol derivative [α]to give the present synthetic intermediate [II]. Then, this intermediate is oxidized by the same oxidation method as the synthetic method B to give the present compound [I].

[0152] The amine derivatives [VII], [VIII] and [IX] to be used in these methods can be synthesized by the method described in WO 93/25574 or J. Med. Chem., 33, 2707-2714 (1990).

[0153] The above-mentioned compound [III] can be synthesized, for example, by the following typical method or similar methods.

[0154] In the above synthetic route, X is S or R6-(A2)n-N, and Y is —SH, —NH2 or —NHR (wherein R is R6-(A2)n). Ra and Rb, being the same or different, are lower alkyl.

[0155] This synthetic route is described specifically.

[0156] The compound [XI] is reacted with the compound [XVI] under a basic condition to give the compound [XII]. (When Y is —NH2, the compound [XI] is reacted with the compound [XVI] and then with the acid anhydride [XVIII] or the acid chloride [XIX] to give the compound [XII].) Then, the compound

[0157] [XII] is reacted with ammonia to convert it into the amide derivative [XIII], and this derivative is cyclized by refluxing it under an acidic condition to give the compound [XIV]. Then, after adding a metal hydride, the compound

[0158] [XIV] is reacted with the compound [XVII] to give the compound [XV]. The ester moiety of the compound [XV] is hydrolyzed under a basic condition to give the compound [III].

[0159] The compound [III] can also be synthesized by a method described in Japanese Laid-open Patent Publication No. 35176/1983.

[0160] The compound [II] is a novel compound and a useful synthetic intermediate of the present compound [I]. In the formula, X, R1, R2, R3, R4, R7, A1 and A3 have the same definitions as in the general formula [I]. Preferred examples of the present synthetic intermediate [II] are compounds corresponding to the above-mentioned preferred examples of the present compound [I].

[0161] The compounds [I] and [II] obtained by the above-mentioned methods can be converted into the above-mentioned salts by the conventional method. As mentioned above, when there are diastereomers and optical isomers in the compounds represented by the general formulae, all these isomers are included in the present invention. When an optically active starting material is used, a single diastereomer and a single optical isomer are obtained. When a racemate is used as a starting material, respective isomers can be separated by general methods such as optical resolution methods.

[0162] As described in the section of “Background Art”, compounds having 3-oxo-3,4-dihydro-2H-1,4-thiazine or 2-oxo-1,2,3,4-tetrahydropyrazine as a main skeleton have scarcely been studied.

[0163] Namely, the present compounds are novel compounds which are unknown in literatures. Features of their chemical structure composing a main skeleton are shown in the general formula [I]. The targets of the study are 1) to prepare the novel compounds wherein carboxy-lower alkylene converted into amide is introduced into the nitrogen atom at the 4th-position of the 3-oxo-3,4-dihydro-2H-1,4-thiazine derivatives or into the nitrogen atom at the 1St-position of the 2-oxo-1,2,3,4-tetrahydropyrazine derivatives, and 2) to prepare the novel compounds wherein the various substituents are introduced into the nitrogen atom at the 4th-position of the 2-oxo-1,2,3,4-tetrahydropyrazine derivatives.

[0164] Focusing attention on these two points and studying precisely, the present inventors have succeeded in preparing the many novel compounds.

[0165] Administration methods of drugs can be a method of administering active compounds themselves or a method of administering the drugs in the form to be decomposed in vivo and to be converted into the active compounds, namely in the form of prodrugs. Both are widely used The present compounds have a carboxyl group in their molecule. The present compounds can be administered in the form of the carboxylic acid and also in the form of an ester which can be converted into the carboxylic acid by hydrolysis. When the present compounds have an amino group or a hydroxyl group in their molecule, the present compounds can be administered with these groups protected with suitable protecting groups.

[0166] Further, in order to find utility of the present compounds, chymase inhibitory effects of the present compounds were studied. Details will be described later in the part of “Pharmacological Test”. The present compounds exhibited excellent chymase inhibitory effects. Chymase has been reported to exist in systemic tissues such as gut, skin and lung centering around tissues of cardiovascular system and to participate in outbreaks of physiologic functions such as cardiovascular lesion, inflammation, immune functions and tissue remodeling (Journal of Clinical and Experimental Medicine, 743 (10), 743 (1995)). Chymase has been reported to participate also in outbreaks of cardiac infarction, heart failure, blood vessel restenosis after PTCA and the like (Blood Vessel & Endothelium, 5 (5), 37 (1995)), hypertension (FEBS Lett., 406, 301(1997)), diabetes complication (Biol. Chem., Hoppe Seyler (GERMANY, WEST), 369 Suppl., p299), allergic diseases (Nobuhiko Katsunuma, “Intracellular Proteolysis”, p. 101-106), asthma (J. Pharmacol. Exp. Ther., 244 (1), 133 (1987)) and the like. Chymase inhibitors are expected to be effective in treating these diseases.

[0167] The present compound can be administered orally or parenterally. Examples of dosage forms are tablets, capsules, granules, powders, injections, eyedrops and the like. The present compound can be formulated into preparations by the conventional methods. For example, oral preparations such as tablets, capsules, granules and powders can be prepared by using optionally a diluent such as lactose, crystalline cellulose, starch or vegetable oil; a lubricant such as magnesium stearate or talc; a binder such as hydroxypropylcellulose or polyvinyl pyrrolidone; a disintegrator such as calcium carboxymethylcellulose or low-substituted hydroxypropylmethylcellulose; a coating agent such as hydroxypropylmethylcellulose, macrogol or silicone resin; or a film forming agent such as a gelatin film. Eyedrops can be prepared by using optionally an isotonic agent such as sodium chloride or concentrated glycerine; a buffer such as sodium phosphate or sodium acetate; a surfactant such as polyoxyethylenesorbitan monooleate, polyoxyl 40 stearate or polyoxyethylene hydrogenated castor oil; a stabilizer such as sodium citrate or disodium edetate; or a preservative such as benzalkonium chloride or paraben, pH can be in a range acceptable for ophthalmic preparations, and it is more preferably in a range of 4 to 8.

[0168] The dosage of the present compound can be selected suitably depending on symptoms, age, dosage form and the like. In case of the oral preparations, the present compound can be administered once to several times per day with a daily dose of 0.1 to 5000 mg, preferably 1 to 1000 mg.

[1837] Pharmacological Test

[1838] 1) Chymase Inhibitory Effect

[1839] Chymase (enzyme) causes angiotensin I (substrate) to liberate a dipeptide (His-Leu) by the enzyme reaction with the substrate. It was reported that an enzymatic activity of chymase can be measured by measuring fluorescence intensity of the resulting peptide (Biochem. Biophys. Res. Com., 149 (3) 1186 (1987)). Since drugs having chymase inhibitory activities suppress this liberation of the dipeptide, the chymase inhibitory activities of the drugs can be measured by measuring fluorescence intensity. In the present pharmacological test, chymase inhibitory effects of the present compounds were studied by using chymase extracted from a dog cardiac tissue (J. Biol. Chem., 265 (36), 22348 (1990)).

[1840] Experimental Method

[1841] [1. Preparation of Chymase Enzyme Solution]

[1842] 1. A beagle is killed by drawing blood under Nembutal anesthesia, a heart is enucleated, and left ventricle is separated.

[1843] 2. This left ventricle is finely minced, and the tissue weight is measured.

[1844] 3. A 0.02 M Tris-HCl buffer (pH 7.4) is added to the tissue in an amount of 10 times by volume the tissue weight. The obtained mixture is homogenized at 8,000 rpm for 20 seconds and then centrifuged at 4° C. and 21,000 rpm for 30 minutes, and the resulting supernatant is discarded.

[1845] 4. The same procedure as the above 3 is repeated twice for the residue. Then, a 0.02 M Tris-HCl buffer (pH 7.4) containing 1% Triton X-100 and 0.01 M potassium chloride is added to the residue in an amount of 10 times by volume the amount of the residue. The obtained mixture is homogenized at 8,000 rpm for 20 seconds, then incubated at 4° C. for one hour and centrifuged at 21,000 rpm for 30 minutes, and the supernatant is discarded.

[1846] 5. A 0.02 M Tris-HCl buffer (pH 7.4) containing 1% Triton X-100 and 0.5 M potassium chloride is added to the residue in an amount of 10 times by volume the amount of the residue. The obtained mixture is homogenized at 8,000 rpm for 20 seconds, then incubated at 4° C. for one hour and centrifuged at 21,000 rpm for 30 minutes, and the supernatant is discarded.

[1847] 6. A 0.02 M Tris-HCl buffer (pH 7.4) containing 1% Triton X-100 and 2.0 M potassium chloride is added to the residue in an amount of 10 times the amount of the residue. The obtained mixture is homogenized at 8,000 rpm for 20 seconds, then incubated at 4° C. for one hour and centrifuged at 21,000 rpm for 30 minutes. The obtained supernatant is used as a chymase enzyme solution.

[1848] [2. Preparation of Reaction Buffer]

[1849] Tris-HCl and disodium ethylenediaminetetraacetate are dissolved in water so that their concentrations are 92.3 mM and 12.0 mM respectively to prepare a reaction buffer adjusted to pH 8.

[1850] [3. Preparation of Substrate Solution]

[1851] Angiotensin I is dissolved in water to prepare a 1.54 mM substrate solution.

[1852] [4. Preparation of Test Compound Solution]

[1853] A test compound is dissolved in dimethyl sulfoxide to prepare 3.0×10−3M, 3.0×10−4 M, 3.0×10−5 M and 3.0×10−6 M test compound solutions.

[1854] [5. Measurement of Chymase Enzymatic Activity]

[1855] 1. The reaction buffer (32.5 μl), the substrate solution (75.0 μl), the chymase enzyme solution (37.5 μl) and the test compound solution (5 μl) are mixed.

[1856] 2. The obtained mixture is incubated at 37° C. for one hour.

[1857] 3. To the mixture is added 15% trichloroacetic acid (225 μl), and the whole is centrifuged at 4° C. and 14,000 rpm for five minutes.

[1858] 4. The supernatant is taken out. A 1% orthophthalaldehyde/methanol solution (165 μl) is added to 300 μl of this supernatant, and the whole is stirred and allowed to stand at room temperature for 10 minutes.

[1859] 5. 1.5 M Hydrochloric acid (300 μl) is added to the resulting mixture, and the whole is stirred and centrifuged at 4° C. and 14,000 rpm for two minutes.

[1860] 6. The supernatant is taken out and irradiated with light having a wavelength of 340 nm, and fluorescence intensity is measured at a wavelength of 455 nm.

[1861] The blank of this test is defined as follows. The same procedures as in the above 1 to 6 are repeated provided that a 20 m1M Tris-HCl buffer (pH 7.4, 37.5 μl) containing 1% Triton X-100 and 2.0 M potassium chloride is used instead of the chymase enzyme solution (37.5 μl), and dimethyl sulfoxide (5 μl) is used instead of the test compound solution (5 μl) in the above 1. The obtained absorbance is the blank value. The control of this test is defined as follows. The same procedures as in the above 1 to 6 are repeated provided that dimethyl sulfoxide (5 μl) is used instead of the test compound solution (5 μl) in the above 1. The obtained absorbance is the control value.

[1862] [6. Calculation of Chymase Inhibition Rate]

[1863] Chymase inhibition rates of the test compounds are calculated by the following equation from the measured fluorescence intensity.

\begin{matrix} Chymase inhibition rate (%) = [1 - (Fluorescence intersity in \\ using test compound \\ solution - Blank fluorescence \\ intensity) / (Control fluorescence \\ intensity - Blank fluorescence \\ intersity)] \times 100 \end{matrix}

[1864] [7. Results]

[1865] Concentrations required to inhibit a chymase enzymatic activity by 50% were calculated from the obtained chymase inhibition rates of the test compounds.

[1866] As examples of test results, Table 1 shows concentrations of the following test compounds (Compound Nos. 2-22, 2-31, 2-32, 2-34, 2-46, 2-47, 2-48, 2-63, 2-65, 4-1 and 10-7) required to inhibit the chymase enzymatic activity by 50%, i.e., IC50.

[1867] Table 1 shows that the present compounds exhibited excellent chymase inhibition effects.

[1868] From the above-mentioned results, the present compounds are expected to be useful as drugs, particularly to be effective in treating various diseases originating from chymase such as cardiac infarction, heart failure, blood-vessel restenosis after PTCA, hypertension, diabetes complication, allergic diseases and asthma.
