NOVEL THIOPHENECARBOXAMIDE DERIVATIVE AND PHARMACEUTICAL USE THEREOF

Abstract
The object of the present invention is to provide a compound having a glucokinase-activating effect.
Description
TECHNICAL FIELD

The present invention relates to a novel thiophenecarboxamide derivative and the pharmaceutical use thereof. Said compound has various pharmaceutical uses as a glucokinase activator.


BACKGROUND ART

Glucokinase (ATP: D-glucose 6-phosphotransferae, EC2.7.1.1.) is one of four kinds of hexokinases that are present in mammals (hexokinase IV). Hexokinases are enzymes that catalyze the first step of glucose metabolism, and they convert glucose to glucose-6 phosphate. Glucokinase is expressed in mainly liver and pancreatic β cells, acts as a rate-controlling enzyme for glucose metabolism, and plays an important role in systemic glucose homeostasis.


Glucokinase has low affinity for glucose, and has a Km value (8-15 mM) that is close to a physiological blood glucose level. Furthermore, glucokinase is not inhibited by glucose-6 phosphate of a physiological concentration. Therefore, when a normal blood glucose level (5 mM) is raised to from 10 to 15 mM by diet, glucose metabolism through glucokinase is increased. In view of these facts, it was considered that glucokinase acts as a glucose sensor in liver and pancreatic β cells.


The role of glucokinase in animals was confirmed by studies using genetically modified animals. It was reported that a mouse that did not express glucokinase died of severe diabetes immediately after birth, whereas glucose tolerance is improved in a mouse in which glucokinase was overexpressed. It was confirmed by these studies that glucokinase actually has an important role in systemic glucose homeostasis.


Maturity onset diabetes of the young (MODY-2) is caused by spontaneous mutation of function loss of glucokinase gene, and decrease in glucokinase activity causes increase in blood glucose. Furthermore, descents having spontaneous mutation that increases the activity of glucokinase were also found, and in these descents, a state of fasting hypoglycemia is shown by increase in blood plasma insulin level.


As mentioned above, glucokinase acts as a glucose sensor and plays an important role in adjustment of blood glucose, and thus it is considered that blood glucose control utilizing a glucose sensor system will be a useful treatment for many patients with Type II diabetes. It is considered that a substance that activates glucokinase is useful as an agent for the prevention or treatment of Type II diabetes since it enhances the action of a glucose sensor, whereby an effect of promoting secretion of insulin in pancreatic β cells and an effect of promoting intaking of glucose and suppressing release of glucose in liver cells can be expected.


Many compounds having a glucokinase-activating effect have been reported until now (Non-patent Literature 1). As compounds in which two five-membered heteroaromatic ring are amide-bonded, a compound having a pyrrole ring was reported in Patent Literature 1, and a compound having an indole ring was reported in Patent Literature 2, but these compounds are different from the thiophenecarboxamide derivative of the present invention in structure.


Meanwhile, as a thiophenecarboxamide derivative, 2,5-dimethylthiophene-3-carboxylic acid thiazol-2-ylamide is sold as a reagent by Enamine, Ltd. (Ukraine); however, there is no report about the bioactivity and the like thereof, and the compound is different in structure from the compound of the present invention that has a pyrrolidine ring with a thiophene ring.

5-[1-(2-Chloroacetyl)pyrrolidin-2-yl]-2-methylthiophene-3-carboxylic acid (5-fluorothiazol-2-yl)amide

2-Methyl-5-pyrrolidin-2-ylthiophene-3-carboxylic acid (5-fluorothiazol-2-yl)amide (467 mg) was dissolved in methylene chloride (5.0 mL), di-t-butylpyridine (663 μL) and chloroacetyl chloride (239 μL) were added thereto at 0° C., and stirring was conducted at room temperature for 4 hours. Water was added to the reaction liquid, extraction was conducted by using chloroform, and the organic phase was dried over anhydrous sodium sulfate. Filtration was conducted, the filtrate was then concentrated under a reduced pressure, and the obtained residue was purified by silica gel chromatography (hexane/ethyl acetate=1/2) to give the title compound (536 mg) as a white powder.

The reaction liquid was concentrated under a reduced pressure, a saturated aqueous sodium hydrogen carbonate solution was added to the obtained residue, extraction was conducted by using chloroform, and the organic phase was dried over anhydrous sodium sulfate. Filtration was conducted, the filtrate was then concentrated under a reduced pressure, and the obtained residue was purified by thin layer silica gel chromatography (methylene chloride/methanol=15/1-5/1) to give the title compound (31.0 mg) as a white powder.

(−)-5-[(2S,4R)-1-((S)-2-Aminopropionyl)-4-fluoropyrrolidin-2-yl]-2-methylthiophene-3-carboxylic acid (5-fluorothiazol-2-yl)amide (31.8 mg) was dissolved in methylene chloride (1.0 mL), acetyl chloride (11.3 μL) and pyridine (19.3 μL) were added thereto, and stirring was conducted at room temperature for 45 minutes. A saturated aqueous sodium hydrogen carbonate solution was added to the reaction liquid, extraction was conducted by using ethyl acetate, and the organic layer was washed with saturated brine and dried over anhydrous sodium sulfate. Filtration was conducted, the filtrate was then concentrated under a reduced pressure, and the obtained residue was purified by thin layer silica gel chromatography (ethyl acetate) to give the title compound (27.8 mg) as a white powder.

Pharmacological Test Example 1
(1) Expression and Purification of Human Glucokinase

To the EcoRI, HindIII site of a pQE-80 expression vector were introduced a DNA fragment in which the same restriction enzyme site had been added to the N-terminal deficiency (1-15 amino acids deficiency)-encoding region of a human GK. E. coli was transformed by using this plasmid to express a human glucokinase, and purification was conducted as follows.


A fungus body that had been collected from 200 ml of an E. coli culture solution was collected and suspended in 20 ml of Extraction buffer A (20 mM HEPES, pH 8.0, 1 mM MgCl2, 150 mM NaCl, 2 mM mercaptoethanol, 0.25 mg/ml lysozyme, 50 mg/ml sodium azide), and the suspension was stood still at room temperature for 5 minutes. 20 ml of Extraction buffer B (1.5 M NaCl, 100 mM CaCl2, 100 mM MgCl2, 0.02 mg/ml DNA catabolic enzyme 1, a protease inhibitor tablet (Complete (registered trademark) 1697498): one tablet per 20 ml of the buffer) was added therero, followed by standing still at room temperature for 5 minutes. The extract liquid was then centrifuged by 15,000 g for 30 minutes at 4° C., and the supernatant was used as an E. coli extract liquid. The E. coli extract liquid was filtered by a 0.45 μm filter and applied to an Ni-NTA agarose 2 mL bed that had been equilibrated with a buffer (20 mM HEPES pH 8.0, 0.5 M NaCl) comprising 20 mM of imidazole. The bed was washed with about 10 ml of a washing buffer and eluted stepwise with buffers (20 mM HEPES pH 8.0, 0.5 M NaCl) each comprising imidazole by from 40 to 500 mM. Each of the column fractions was analyzed by using SDS gel electrophoresis, and the fraction comprising hGK (MW: 52 KDa) was concentrated. The concentrated sample was then passed through a Sephacryl S-200HR (11/60) gel filtration column and eluted with buffer B (20 mM HEPES, pH 8.0, 1 mM MgCl2, 150 mM NaCl, 1 mM DTT). The eluted fraction was analyzed by SDS gel electrophoresis, and the fraction comprising hGK was concentrated. Finally, 50% glycerol was added to the fraction, and the fraction was stored at −20° C.


(2) Measurement of Glucokinase-Activity

178 μl of GK assay mix (25 mM Hepes buffer (pH 7.1), 25 mM KCl, 2 mM MgCl2, 1 mM NADP, 1 mM dithiotheitol, 2 unit/mL G6PDH, 5 mM D-glucose, a suitable amount of GK) was added to a UV permeable 96-well plate. 2 μl of the test compound dissolved in DMSO was added thereto, followed by standing still at room temperature for 10 minutes, and 20 μl al of 20 mM ATP was then added thereto to start a reaction. An absorbance at 340 nm was measured by Spectra Max Plus for 5 minutes at intervals of 30 seconds at room temperature, and the compound was evaluated in the reaction at the first 3 minutes. The activity of the test compound at the final concentration of 10 μM was calculated in comparison with a well that did not comprise the compound, and was shown in Table 29. As a result, it was found that the compound of the present invention that was subjected to the present test had 600% or more of a human GK activation effect at 10 μl as compared to the well that did not comprise the test compound.
