Description
TECHNICAL FIELD

The present invention relates to pyrazole compounds having a Glycogen Synthase Kinase 3 (GSK-3) inhibitory activity, which are useful as pharmaceutical agents, and use thereof.


BACKGROUND ART

GSK-3 was found to be a kinase that phosphorylates and deactivates glycogen synthase. It has been clarified at present that it is involved in the oxidation and synthesis of fatty acid, or abnormality in insulin signaling pathway via phosphates of various protein groups related to metabolism and signal transduction such as AcylCoA carboxylase, ATP-citrate lyase, Insulin receptor substrate-1 and the like. Moreover, GSK-3 is known to phosphorylate various structural proteins and regulate functions thereof. Particularly, phosphorylation of tau protein has been attracting attention in relation to the onset of Alzheimer's disease. In addition, GSK-3 is involved in phosphorylation of various transcription factors, and particularly, activates activator protein-1, cyclic AMP response element binding protein, nuclear factor of activated T cells, heat shock factor-1, b-catenin, Myc, C/EBP, NFκ-b or the like. Therefore, its inhibitor is expected to be a therapeutic drug for Alzheimer's disease, cerebral apoplexy, manic-depressive illness, schizophrenia, cancer, type II diabetes and obesity.


In insulin signaling pathway, GSK-3 is negatively regulated by phosphorylation via Akt (protein kinase B: also described as PKB). In diabetic patients, increased activity of GSK-3 and synthesis of fatty acids and/or insulin resistance are considered to be synergistically induced by the overlapped occurrence of promoted GSK-3 gene expression and insulin dysfunction. Since GSK-3 positively regulates the process of adipocyte differentiation and/or maturation via phosphorylation of C/EBP, increased GSK-3 activity triggers obesity, which in turn aggravates diabetes. In fact, it has been reported that administration of GSK-3 inhibitor improves insulin resistance of model animals of TYPE II diabetes. We have additionally elucidated as our own findings that GSK-3 inhibitor suppresses adipocyte differentiation and/or maturation, expresses an antiobesity effect, as well as promotes sugar-dependent insulin secretory action of pancreatic β cells. Given these findings in combination, GSK-3 is considered to be additively and/or synergistically involved in the onset of diabetes in the insulin targeting tissues such as liver, skeletal muscle, fat, pancreas and the like, and GSK-3 inhibitor can be an effective therapeutic drug for obesity and/or diabetes because it eliminates these factors.


Activation of GSK-3 in Alzheimer's brain has been reported, and therefore, GSK-3 is considered to be involved in neuritic plaque and neurofibrillary change, which are the two major pathological findings in Alzheimer's disease. In the metabolism of amyloid precursor proteins, GSK-3 is linked to γ secretase to positively regulate the production of β amyloid protein, a main constituent component of neuritic plaque. As for tau protein, which is a main constituent component of neurofibrillary change, GSK-3 is considered to facilitate phosphorylation of the protein, prevent axonal transport, and finally induce neurodegeneration. It is also known that GSK-3 is located downstream of the PI3 kinase—Akt system signal transduction important for the nerve cell survival, and activated during nerve cell death. Accordingly, GSK-3 inhibitor is expected to not only suppress neurodegeneration but also suppress two major pathological findings of Alzheimer's disease. As our own findings, we have clarified that PI3 kinase—Akt system signal transduction plays a key role in neuropoiesis and nerve regeneration and found that inhibition of GSK-3 located downstream thereof can facilitate neuropoiesis. Considering our new findings in combination, there is a possibility that GSK-3 inhibitor suppresses two major pathological findings of Alzheimer's disease and additionally suppresses neurodegeneration, induces neuropoiesis and achieves regeneration of function. It is assumed that GSK-3 inhibitor having the above-mentioned properties can be an ultimate therapeutic drug for Alzheimer's disease, and can also be effective as a therapeutic drug for neurodegenerative diseases such as Parkinson's syndrome and the like, cerebrovascular disorders and the like. Since a report has recently documented that Akt system signal transduction decreases in schizophrenia, GSK-3 inhibitor may become a completely new type of therapeutic drug for schizophrenia.

DISCLOSURE OF THE INVENTION

Conventional compounds having a GSK-3 inhibitory action have some problems to be solved, such as effectiveness (e.g., insufficient GSK-3 inhibitory action, insufficient selectivity to other kinase inhibitory action and the like), and safety (e.g., possible side effects and the like).

Experimental Example 1
a) Test Material
Cloning of Human GSK3β Gene and Preparation of Recombinant Baculovirus

Human GSK3β gene was cloned by a PCR method using a primer set:










GSK3b-U:









(SEQ ID NO: 1)









5′-AAAGAATTCACCATGGACTACAAGGACGACGATGACAAGTCAGGGCG






GCCCAGAACCACCTCCTT-3′


and





GSK3b-L:








(SEQ ID NO: 2)









5′-AAAAGTCGACTCAGGTGGAGTTGGAAGCTGATGCAGAAG-3′








prepared using human brain cDNA (Clontech; trade name: QUICK-Clone cDNA) as a template and in reference to the base sequence of GSK3β gene registered in GenBank under Accession Number NM002093.


PCR was done according to the protocol attached to KOD plus DNA polymerase (Toyo Boseki Kabushiki Kaisha). The obtained PCR product was electrophoresed on agarose gel (1%), and 1.2 kb of DNA fragment including GSK3β gene was collected from the gel and then digested with restriction enzymes EcoR I and Sal I. The restriction enzyme-treated DNA was electrophoresed on agarose gel (1%). The obtained DNA fragment was collected, and ligated to the plasmid pFASTBAC1 (Invitrogen), which had been digested with restriction enzyme EcoR I and Sal I, to produce expression plasmid pFB-GSK3B. The base sequence of insertion fragment was confirmed to find that it corresponded to the objective sequence. In addition, virus stock BAC-GSK3B of recombinant Baculovirus was prepared using BAC-TO-BAC Baculovirus Expression System (Invitrogen).


Preparation of Recombinant GSK3β Enzyme

Sf-21 cells (Invitrogen) were seeded on Sf-900 II SFM medium (Invitrogen)(150 ml) containing 10% fetal calf serum at 1×106 cells/ml, and cultured at 27° C. for 24 hr. The virus stock BAC-IKKB obtained above of recombinant Baculovirus was added by 150 μl to the obtained culture medium, and the cells were cultured for another 60 hr. The culture medium was centrifuged (3000 rpm, 10 min) to separate the cells, and the cells were washed once with PBS. The cells were suspended in 10 ml of cell lysis buffer (25 mM HEPES (pH 7.5), 1% Triton X, 130 mM sodium chloride, 1 mM EDTA, 1 mM Dithiothreitol, 25 mM β-glycerophosphate, Protease inhibitor Complete (Boehringer), 1 mM Sodium orthovanadate), treated 4 times using a homogenizer (POLYTRON) at 20000 rpm for 30 sec to disrupt the cells. The disrupted solution of cells was centrifuged (40000 rpm, 45 min.), and GSK3β was purified from the obtained supernatant using Anti-FLAG M2 Affinity Gel (Sigma Ltd.).


b) Experimental Method
Measurement of GSK3β Inhibitory Activity

To a reaction solution (25 mM HEPES (pH 7.5), 10 mM magnesium acetate, 1 mM DTT, 0.01% bovine serum albumin (Wako Pure Chemical Industries, Ltd.)) (37.5 μl) containing recombinant GSK3β enzyme (100 ng) obtained above and a matrix peptide from glycogen synthase (YRRAAVPPSPSLSRHSSPHQpSEDEEE (SEQ ID NO: 3), pS shows phosphorylated serine) (100 ng) was added a test compound (2.5 μl) dissolved in DMSO, and the mixture was incubated at room temperature for 5 min. 10 μl of ATP solution (2.5 μM ATP) was added to the obtained mixture, and the mixture was reacted at room temperature for 30 min. Kinase Glo Reagent (Promega) (50 μl) was added to the reaction solution to stop the reaction. After reaction at room temperature for 10 min, the luminescent intensity was measured using ARVO multilabel counter (PerkinElmer Life Sciences). The concentrations of the test compounds needed for 50% inhibition of luminescent intensity (IC50 value) were calculated by PRISM 3.0 (GraphPad Software). The results are shown in Table 7.

Experimental Example 2
Measurement of Nerve Cell Death Suppressive Activity

The cerebral cortex was taken from fetus of TP-14 pregnant SD rat (CLEA Japan, Inc.), and nerve cell was prepared using nerve cell culture system (SUMITOMO BAKELITE). The cerebral cortex was placed in enzymatic solution of cell dispersion solution kit (SUMITOMO BAKELITE), and incubated at 37° C. for 30 min. The cells were suspended by pipetting, and collected by centrifugation at 1000 rpm for 5 min. The supernatant was removed, and cell dispersion solution (SUMITOMO BAKELITE) was added. The cells were suspended by pipetting. The cell suspension was placed on removing solution (SUMITOMO BAKELITE), and the cells were collected by centrifugation at 1000 rpm for 5 min. The supernatant was removed, and the cells were suspended in nerve cell culture medium (SUMITOMO BAKELITE). 100 μl of the suspension was seeded on a poly D lysine•laminin 96 well plate (Becton, Dickinson and Company) at 1×105 cells/well. Then, the plate was cultured in a carbon dioxide gas incubator at 37° C. for 4 days. A test compound (50 μl) was added on the 96 well plate, and 50 μL/well of LY294002 was added at 50 μM of the final concentration. Then, the plate was cultured in a carbon dioxide gas incubator for 24 hr. The medium (100 μl) was sampled, and 100 μl of Cell Titer Glo solution (Promega) was added to count the viable cell number. The concentration of the test compound needed for 50% inhibition of nerve cell death (IC50 value) was calculated by PRISM 3.0 (GraphPad Software). The results are shown in Table 8.

H4IIE-C3 cells (from rat liver) were seeded on 24 well or 96 well collagen coated plate (manufactured by Falcon), and cultured in Dulbecco's Modified Eagle Medium (DMEM: manufactured by GIBCO) containing 10% FBS, 25 mM Glucose until the cells became sub-confluent. Then, the cells were starvation treated with DMEM containing 0% FBS and 5.6 mM glucose. The medium was exchanged to DMEM containing test compound adjusted to 10 μM and sugar production stimulant (Dexamethasone (500 nM), 8CPT-cAMP (0.1 mM)), and the cells were pretreated for 5 hr. After washing with PBS, the cells were cultured in Phenol Red-free, Glucose-free DMEM containing the test compound and sugar production stimulant for 3 hr, and the glucose content released in the medium was measured. A glucose measurement kit (A-22189) manufactured by Molecular Probes was used for the glucose measurement. The obtained results of sugar release suppression activity are shown in the following. The sugar release suppressive activity is shown in a relative value when the released glucose content of a GSK3β inhibitor free group is 100%.
