Polyaspartamide derivatives as adsordents for bile acids, polyaspartamide derivatives loaded with bile acids and process for their preparation and their use as pharmaceuticals

The invention relates to water-soluble and -insoluble polyaspartamides, polyaspartamide derivatives which are loaded with bile acids, a process for their preparation and their use as pharmaceuticals.
Bile acids have an important physiological function in fat digestion, for example as cofactors of pancreatic lipases. As the end product of cholesterol metabolism, they are synthesized in the liver, stored in the gall bladder and released from this by contraction into the small intestine, where they display their physiological action.
The major part of the secreted bile acids is recovered again via the enterohepatic circulation, and returns to the liver again via the mesenterial veins of the small intestine and the portal vein system. Both active and passive transport processes play a role in reabsorption in the intestine. In the enterohepatic circulation, the bile acids occur as free acids, but also in the form of glycine and taurine conjugates.
It was known hitherto to bind bile acid to non-absorbable, insoluble, basic crosslinked polymers (ion exchange resins="resins"). The subject of treatment is regarded as encompassing all diseases in which an inhibition of bile acid reabsorption in the intestine, in particular in the small intestine, appears desirable. For example, chologenic diarrhea after ileum resection, or alternatively increased cholesterol blood levels are treated in this manner. In the case of the increased cholesterol blood level, a reduction of this level can be achieved by intervention in the enterohepatic circulation. As a result of reduction of the bile acid pool found in the enterohepatic circulation, the corresponding de novo synthesis of bile acids from cholesterol in the liver is enforced. To cover the cholesterol requirement in the liver, resort is made to the LDL cholesterol (low density lipoprotein) present in the blood circulation, the hepatic LDL receptors coming into action in increased number. The acceleration of LDL catabolism thus achieved has an effect by way of the reduction of the atherogenic cholesterol content in the blood. Until now, said polymeric, insoluble ion exchange resins represented the only possibility of affecting the enterohepatic circulation with respect to increased bile acid secretion and the reduction of the cholesterol level following therefrom.
It now appears that the pharmaceuticals which are based on crosslinked ion exchange resins have various disadvantages.
For the "resins" being used as pharmaceuticals, a very high daily dose, in particular, has to be maintained. This amounts, for example for colestyramine (contains quaternary ammonium groups) to 12-14 g, maximum dose 32 g, and for colestipol (contains secondary and tertiary amino groups) to 15-30 g.
A further disadvantage is that taste, odor and said high dosage make patient compliance difficult.
It is furthermore known that conventional "resins" exhibit side effects. These side effects are due to lack of selectivity (for example avitaminoses), which also have to be taken into account in the dosage of simultaneously administered medicaments, but also to bile acid depletion, which causes various gastrointestinal disorders (obstipation, steatorrhea) of various degrees.
For both preparations, a therapeutic importance as a result of combination with other hypolipidemic pharmaceuticals such as fibrates, HMG-COA reductase inhibitors, probucol (cf., for example, M.N. Cayen, Pharmac. Ther. 29, 187 (1985) and 8th International Symposium on Atherosclerosis, Rome, Oct. 9-13, 1988, Abstracts pp. 544, 608, 710) has been described, where the effects achieved also make possible the therapy of severe hyperlipidemias. It therefore appears significant, given the principle of action, to find suitable substances without the disadvantages of the currently used preparations. The following features of said preparations and in particular of colestipol are regarded as worthy of improvement:
1. The high daily doses which are necessary since only a relatively low binding rate obtains at neutral pH in isotonic medium, and the (partial) re-release of the adsorbed bile acids.
2. The qualitative shift in the bile acid composition of the bile with a decreasing tendency for chenodesoxycholic acid and the increasing risk of cholelithiasis associated therewith.
3. The lack of a damping effect on the cholesterol metabolism of the intestinal bacteria.
4. The excessively high binding rate of vitamins and pharmaceuticals may make it necessary to replace those substances and to check blood levels.
5. The administration form was until now to be regarded as inadequate.
It was the object of the invention to provide a possibility of binding bile acids in a concentration-dependent manner, the compounds binding the bile acids themselves not being co-absorbed and thus not passing into the enterohepatic circulation. The compounds should also have a high binding rate for bile acids at neutral pH and simultaneously ensure that these are not released again under physiological conditions and thus cannot be absorbed.
Moreover, these compounds should not or no longer to known extent have the existing disadvantages of the known "resins".
The object is solved by the provision of .alpha.- or .beta.-linked polyaspartamide derivatives of the formula I ##STR2## in which R.sup.I, R.sup.II,
R.sup.III and R.sup.IV are identical or different and are H, a radical of the formula II
--A--N (R.sub.1)(R.sub.2) II
in which
A is an alkylene, alkenylene or alkynylene radical having 2 to 15, preferably 2 to 6, carbon atoms, which is straight-chain or branched, preferably straight-chain, R.sub.1 and R.sub.2 independently of one another are hydrogen or (C.sub.1 -C.sub.18)-alkyl, preferably (C.sub.1 -C.sub.3) -alkyl,
a radical of the formula III
--A--OCOR.sub.3 III
or a radical of the formula IV
--A--OH IV
in which
A has the abovementioned meaning and R.sub.3 is the radical which is a natural or synthetic fatty acid bonded via its carboxyl group or a dicarboxylic acid or a dicarboxylic acid ester or amide respectively having 2-8 carbon atoms, and
r is 0 to 0.5,
s is 0.1 to 0.9,
t is 0.9 to 0.1,
u is 0 to 0.5 and
v is 0 to 0.5.
It is particularly preferred if r or u is zero or the sum of r and u is equal to zero.
R.sup.I is preferably a radical of the formula II and R.sup.II, and R.sup.III are a radical of the formula III, and, if appropriate, R.sup.IV is a radical of the formula IV.
Particularly preferred compounds according to the invention are those in which R.sup.II and R.sup.III carry different radicals of the formula III.
The dicarboxylic acid derivatives include succinoyloxybutyl and -hexyl radicals.
Physiologically acceptable aromatic carboxylic acid radicals, such as, for example, cinnamic acid or dihydrocinnamic acid can also be employed.
Of the alcohols which represent the ester component in the dicarboxylic acid esters, the following are employed: saturated and unsaturated, linear or branched alcohols such as hexanol, octanol, decanol, dodecanol, tetradecanol, hexadecanol, octadecanol and the like. Likewise, the alcohols are also to be understood as meaning those which can carry further OH groups, such as, for example, 1,2-hexanediol, 1,2-dodecanediol or 1,2-hexadecanediol.
The compounds according to the invention in general have a molecular weight of 10.sup.3 to 10.sup.6, preferably of 10.sup.4 to 10.sup.5.
The degree of substitution of the radicals R.sup.I, R.sup.II, R.sup.III, R.sup.IV to be attained, based on an aspartamide unit, is dependent on the radical employed and on the reaction conditions selected. Finally, it is set in such a manner that the pharmacological action of the compounds according to the invention to be attained is optimally achieved.
In general, the degree of substitution DS is between 0.1 and 1.0, preferably between 0.2 and 0.8 for R.sup.I and R.sup.II. For R.sup.III, values between 0.1 and 0.5 are preferably set.
The derivatization of the polyaspartamide with the compounds of the formulae II and III leads to lipophilization of the polymer. This lipophilization leads to the bile acids being firmly bound to the polymer adsorptively to an increased extent and in particular at a physiological pH. In this case, the binding consists of an ionic and a structural interaction between the bile acid molecule and the polyaspartamide molecule.
Bile acids are ionized or protonated at physiological pH. To that extent, there is an ionic interaction. The structural interaction is based on the fact that bile acids are spatially surrounded by the lipophilized polyaspartamide molecule. This is, therefore, a case of inclusion compounds.
Basically, it is therefore possible both to ionize the polyaspartamide derivatives (amino acid, aminoalkoxy radicals) and to lipophilize them (fatty acids, alcohols), it being possible for the adsorptive actions to be enhanced. It is likewise possible to employ bile acids as derivatization reagents for polyaspartamides, and to use the derivatives as adsorbers for bile acid.
In this case, the degree of substitution for the covalently bonded bile acids is 0.01 to 1, preferably 0.3 to 0.8.
Natural amino acids which can be mentioned are: glycine, L-alanine, L-valine, L-leucine, L-serine, L-threonine, L-lysine, L-arginine, L-asparagine, L-glutamine, L-phenylalanine, L-tyrosine, L-proline, L-tryptophan.
Preferred synthetic amino acids are enantiomer mixtures of the natural amino acids, homoamino acids, isoamino acids, .gamma.-aminobutyric acid, a-aminobutyric acid etc.
Suitable fatty acids are saturated or unsaturated, straight-chain or branched carboxylic acids such as caproic acid, heptanoic acid, octanoic acid, decanoic acid, dodecanoic acid, tetradecanoic acid, hexadecanoic acid, octadecanoic acid, oleic acid, linoleic acid, linolenic acid, 2-methylhexanoic acid and the like.
The following alcohols, for example, are employed for lipophilization: saturated and unsaturated, linear or branched alcohols such as hexanol, octanol, decanol, dodecanol, tetradecanol, hexadecanol, octadecanol and the like. Likewise, the alcohols are also to be understood as meaning those which can carry further OH groups, such as, for example, 1,2-hexanediol, 1,2-dodecanediol or 1,2-hexadecanediol.
The following aminoalkyl radicals of the formula A--N(R.sub.1)(R.sub.2) are used: 2-aminoethanol, 3-aminopropanol, N,N-dimethyl- or -diethyl-2-aminoethanol, N,N-dimethyl- or -diethyl-3-aminopropanol, 4-aminobutanol, 6-amino-hexanol, 4-aminobutyric acid, 6-aminocaproic acid, and the like.
The following bile acids can be bound to the polyaspartamides according to the invention: cholic acid, deoxycholic acid, lithocholic acid, ursodeoxycholic acid, chenodeoxycholic acid, and their corresponding taurine and glycine conjugates.
By use of the compounds according to the invention, the described deficiencies of the "resins" intervening in the enterohepatic circulation, which are found on the market, can be completely eliminated. By inhibiting bile acid reabsorption in the small intestine with the aid of the compounds according to the invention, the bile acid concentration found in the enterohepatic circulation is reduced in a substantially more effective manner, such that a reduction of the cholesterol level in the serum takes place. Avitaminoses, when using the compounds according to the invention, are seen just as little as the effect on the absorption of other pharmaceuticals or alternatively the negative action on the intestinal flora, since the bile acid binding to the compounds according to the invention is an extremely stable.
By use of the compounds according to the invention, the otherwise customary dosage of the resins can be considerably reduced; the recommended dose is 0.5-10 g/kg/day. The known side effects (obstipation, steratorrhea) have therefore not been observed, i.e. fat digestion is not adversely affected, due to the almost natural structure of the polyaspartamides on the one hand and the known positive effect of so-called ballast substances on the digestion on the other hand.
Because of the high affinity of the compounds according to the invention for bile acids, the problem of dosage and as a result also that of compliance no longer arises, compared with the high daily dose of "resins". In addition, the compliance is improved by the fact that the polyaspartamides according to the invention are water-soluble and thus no additives such as, for example, flavor enhancers, emulsifiers, sweeteners etc. are required for formulation.
The preparation of polysuccinimide (.dbd.polyanhydroaspartic acid) is known from EP-A-0,439,846 (corresponding to U.S. patent application No. 651,295).
The invention furthermore relates to the conjugate of the polyaspartamide derivative according to the invention and at least one bile acid, which is bonded adsorptively to the polyaspartamide derivative as a result of a structural interaction.
The invention furthermore relates to the use of the complexes according to the invention for the production of a pharmaceutical. The compounds are dissolved or suspended or mixed in pharmacologically acceptable organic solvents, such as mono- or polyhydric alcohols such as, for example, ethanol or glycerol, in triacetin, oils, such as, for example, diethylene glycol dimethyl ether, or alternatively polyethers, such as, for example, polyethylene glycol, or alternatively in the presence of other pharmacologically acceptable polymer supports, such as, for example, polyvinylpyrrolidone, or other pharmaceutically acceptable additives such as starch, cyclodextrin or polysaccharides. The compounds according to the invention can also be administered in combination with other pharmaceuticals.
The conjugates according to the invention are administered in various dosage forms, preferably orally in the form of tablets, capsules or liquids, which may include, for example, foodstuffs or fruit juices.
The polyaspartamides according to the invention can additionally be used in analytical processes for the group-selective enrichment of bile acids from biological fluids such as, for example, plasma, serum, urine, bile etc.
