Description

TECHNICAL FIELD

The present invention relates to novel pyridine derivatives, processes for preparing them and pharmaceutical preparations containing them. The pyridine derivatives of the present invention inhibit IκB kinase β (IKK-β or IXK-beta) activity, thus inhibit nuclear factor kappa B (NF-κB) activity, and can be used for the prophylaxis and treatment of diseases associated with NF-κB activity, in particular for the treatment of inflammatory diseases.

BACKGROUND ART

Nuclear factor kappa B (NF-κB) belongs to a family of closely related homo-and hetero-dimeric transcription factor complexes composed of various combinations of the Rel/NF-κB family of polypeptides. NF-κB and related family members are involved in the regulation of more than 50 genes relating to immune and inflammatory responses ((Barnes P J, Karin M (1997) N Engl J Med 336, 1066-1071) and (Baeuerle P A, Baichwal V R (1997) Adv Immunol 65, 111-137)). In most cell types, NF-κB is present as a heterodimer comprising a 50 kDa and a 65 kDa subunit (p50/RelA). The heterodimer is sequestered in the cytoplasm in association with inhibitor of NF-□B (IκB)-family of proteins to be kept in an inactive state. IκB-family proteins mask the nuclear translocation signal of NF-κB. Upon stimulation of cells with various cytokines (e.g. TNF-α, IL-1), CD40 ligand, lipopolysaccharide (LPS), oxidants, mitogens (e.g. phorbol ester), viruses or many others. IκB proteins are phosphorylated at specific serine residues, poly-ubiquitinated, and then degraded through a proteasome-dependent pathway. Freed from IκB, the active NF-κB is able to translocate to the nucleus where it binds in a selective manner to preferred gene-specific enhancer sequences. Among the genes being regulated by NF-κB are many coding for pro-inflammatory mediators, cytokines, cell adhesion molecules, and acute phase proteins. Expression of several of these cytokines and mediators in turn can lead to further activation of NF-κB via autocrine and paracrine mechanisms.

Broad evidence is available that suggests a central role of NF-κB in many inflammatory disorders including airway inflammation and asthma ((Yang L et al., J Exp Med 188 (1998), 1739-1750), (Hart L A et al. Am J Respir Crit Care Med 158 (1998), 1585-1592), (Stacey M A et al., Biochem Biophys Res Commun 236 (1997), 522-526) (Barnes P and Adcock I M, Trends Pharmacol Sci 18 (1997), 46-50)).

Further, it has been shown that glucocorticoids, which are by far the most effective treatment for asthma, inhibit airway inflammation by directly interacting with and inhibiting the activity of the transcription factors NF-κB and activating peptide-1 (AP-1) ((Barnes P (1997) Pulmon Pharmacol Therapeut 10, 3-19) and (Dumont A et al. (1998) Trends Biochem Sci 23, 233-235)).

In general, inhibition of NF-κB activation results in strong anti-inflammatory effects similar or superior to those brought upon by steroids. Consequently, NF-□B inhibition should improve inflammatory symptoms typical for asthma; allergic rhinitis; atopic dermatitis; hives; conjunctivitis; vernal catarrh; rheumatoid arthritis; systemic lupus erythematosus; psoriasis; diabrotic colitis; systemic inflammatory response syndrome; sepsis; polymyositis; dermatomyositis; Polyaritis nodoa; mixed connective tissue disease; Sjoegren's syndrome; gout, and the like.

Further, several studies imply that NF-κB plays an essential role in neoplastic transformation. For example, NF-κB is associated with cell transformation in vitro and in vivo as a result of gene overexpression, amplification, rearrangement, or translocation (Mercurio, F., and Manning, A. M. (1999) Oncogene, 18:6163-6171). In certain human lymphoid tumor cells, the genes of NF-κB family members are rearranged or amplified. Its possible involvement in cancer pathology is also disclosed in Mayo, M. W., Baldwin A. S. (2000) Biochmica et Biophysica Acta 1470 M55-M62. Mayo M. W. et al., discloses the inhibition of NF-κB results in the blockage the initiation and/or progression of certain cancer, particularly colorectal cancer.

Finally, NF-κB may also be involved in the regulation of neuronal cell death. It has been shown that NF-κB becomes activated and promotes cell death in focal cerebral ischemia (Nature medicine Vol. 5 No. 5, May 1999).

Extensive research during the past years led to the identification of an IκB kinase (IKK) complex as being responsible for the signal-induced IκB phosphorylation ((Mercurio, F., and Manning, A. M. (1999) Current Opinion in Cell Biology, 11:226-232), (Mercurio, F., and Manning, A. M. (1999) Oncogene, 18:6163-6171), (Barnkett, M., and Gilmore T. D. (1999) Oncogene 18, 6910-6924), (Zandi, E., and Karin, M., (1999) 19:4547-4551), (Israel, A., (2000) trends in CELL BIOLOGY 10:129-133), and (Hatada, E. N, et al. (2000) Current Opinion in Immunology, 12:52-58)). This complex is most likely the site of integration of all of the different stimuli leading to NF-κB activation. The IKK-complex (molecular weight 700-900 kDa) is composed of various proteins including two homologous IκB kinases, called IKK-α and IKK-β, an upstream kinase, NIK which induces NF-κB, a scaffold protein called IKAP, which tethers together the three kinases, and a regulatory subunit IKK-γ, which preferentially interacts with IKK-β.

IKK-β is a 756 amino acid serine-threonine kinase showing 52% identity to and the same domain structure as IKK-α ((Mercurio F et al. (1997) Science 278, 860-866.), (Woronicz J D et al. (1997) Science 278, 866-869.), (Zandi E et al. (1997) Cell 91, 243-252.). IKK-β forms homo-dimers and hetero-dimers with IKK-α in vitro and in cells, respectively. IKK-β also interacts with IKK-γ, IKAP, NIK and IκBα. Recombinant IKK-β phosphorylates IκBα and IκBβ at specific serine residues with equal efficacy (Li J et al. (1998) J Biol Chem 273, 30736-30741.), (Zandi E, Chen Y, Karin M (1998) Science 281, 1360-1363.). IKK-β shows a higher constitutive kinase activity as compared to IKK-α. This is in agreement with data suggesting that over-expression of IKK-β activates the transcription of a NF-κB-dependent reporter gene with a higher efficacy as compared to IKK-α. IKK-β has been shown to be activated in various cell lines or fresh human cells in response to various stimuli including TNF-α, IL-1β, LPS, anti-CD3/anti-CD28 co-stimulation, protein kinase C and calcineurin, B-cell receptor/CD40 ligand stimulation, and vanadate. IKK-β is activated in fibroblast-like synoviocytes (FLS) isolated from the synovium of patients suffering from rheumatoid arthritis or osteoarthritis (Zandi E et al. (1997) Cell 91, 243-252.), (O'Connell M A et al. (1998) J Biol Chem 273, 30410-30414.), (Kempiak S J et al. (1999) J Immunol 162, 3176-3187.). Furthermore, IKK-β can be activated by the structurally related upstream kinases MEKK-1 and NIK, most likely through phosphorylation of specific serine residues within the T-loop (activation loop) and by certain protein kinase C isoforms ((Nakano H et al. (1998) Proc Natl Acad Sci USA 95, 3537-3542.), (Lee F S et al. (1998) Proc Natl Acad Sci USA 95, 9319-9324.), (Nemoto S et al. (1998) Mol Cell Biol 18, 7336-7343.), (Lallena M J et al. (1999) Mol Cell Biol 19, 2180-2188.)). A catalytically inactive mutant of IKK-β has been shown to inhibit activation of NF-κB by TNF-α, IL-1β, LPS, anti-CD3/anti-CD28 stimulation ((Mercurio F et al. (1997) Science 278, 860-866.), (Woronicz J D et al. (1997) Science 278, 866-869.)). The same effects are observed when MEKK1 or NIK are overexpressed. Additionally, IKK-β mutations in the activation loop inhibited IL-1 and TNF-α signaling (Delhase M et al. (1999) Science 284, 309-313.). Based on the experimental results described above, there is clear-cut evidence for a pivotal involvement of IKK-β in various pathways leading to NF-κB activation.

In summary, the specific inhibition of IKK-β should result in a strong anti-inflammatory and immuno-modulatory effect in vivo with the potential of improving the underlying causes of asthma and other diseases. In addition, anti-tumor and anti-ischemic effects of an IKK-β inhibitor may be expected.

Manna et al., disclose 4,6-disubstituted 3-cyano-2-aminopyridines represented by general formulas:

wherein (R′, R″) represent (OCH₃, OCH₃), (Cl, Cl), (H, Cl), (H, Br), (H, CH₃), (H, OCH₃), (H, NO₂), or (H, N(CH₃)₂),

or as a general anti-inflammatory, analgesic, and antipyretic agent (Eur J. Med. Chem. 34, 245-254(1999)).

Manna et al. neither disclose pyridine derivatives with aliphatic groups at position 4 of the pyridine ring, nor suggest IKK-β kinase or NF-κB inhibitory activity on the above known pyridine derivatives.

The development of a novel compound having effective anti-inflammatory actions based on a specific and selective inhibitory activity to NF-κB has been desired.

[IKK-β Kinase Inhibitory Assay]

(1) Preparation of IKK-β Kinase Protein.

• • A cDNA fragment encoding human IKK-β open reading frame was generated by PCR with the use of a pair of primers designed from the published sequence (Woronicz J D et al. (1997) Science 278, 866-869). A template was obtained from Quickclone cDNA (Clontech) using Elongase™ Amplification kit (Life Technologies). The DNA fragments generated by PCR were gel-purified and subcloned into pBluescript. The cDNA fragment cloned in pBluescript was inserted into pcDNA3.1/His C KpnI/NotI, and transferred into pVL1393 SmaI/XbaI (Pharmingen) to construct a baculovirus transfer vector. Then the vector, together with the linearized baculovirus (BaculoGold™, Pharmingen) was used to transfect Sf21 cells (Invitrogen, San Diego, Calif.). Generated recombinant baculovirus was cloned and amplified in Sf21 cells, grown in TNM-FH insect cell medium (Life Technologies, Inc.) supplemented with 10% FCS, 50 g/ml Gentamycin, 0.1% Pluronic F-68 (Life Technologies, Inc.) as suspension culture (200 ml in 1 L Erlenmeyer flask; 27° C.; 130 rpm). Sf21 cells were infected with this amplified virus with a multiplicity of infection of 5 following standard protocols (Crossen R, Gruenwald S (1997) Baculovirus Expression Vector System Instruction Manual, Pharmingen Corporation) and harvested 48 hrs later. The cells were lysed to obtain the produced chimeric protein of IKK-β kinase fused by histidine (His-tagged IKK-beta).

(2) The Preparation of Purified GST-IκBα Fusion Proteins

• • An expression vector containing the nucleotide sequence encoding fusion protein of GST with amino acid residues 1 to 54 of IκBα under the control of an IPTG-inducible promoter was constructed. The expression vector was introduced in E. coli and the transformant was cultured and lysed to obtain a GST-IκBα fusion protein. Then the resulting GST-IκBα fusion protein was purified and biotinated for kinase assay.

(3) The Measurement of IKK-β Kinase Activity

• • The 96-well format kinase assay of IKK-β were performed to test the inhibitory activity of the compounds of the present invention. First, 5 μl of a test compound was put in the presence of 2.5% dimethyl sulfoxide (DMSO) in each well in a U-bottomed 96-well plate (Falcon). For control wells of background (BG) and total phosphorylation (TP), 5 μl of 2.5% DMSO was put. Recombinant IKK-β (final 0.6 μg/ml) and bio-GST-IκBα (1-54) (final 0.2 μM) were diluted in 25 μl of 2× kinase buffer β (40 mM Tris-HCl, pH 7.6, 40 mM MgCl₂, 40 mM β-glycerophosphate, 40 mM p-nitro-phenylphosphate, 2 mM EDTA, 40 mM creatine phosphate, 2 mM DTT, 2 mM Na₃VO₄, 0.2 mg/ml BSA and 0.8 mM phenylmethylsulfonyl fluoride) and transferred to the 96-well plate. Bio-GST-IκBα (1-54) in 25 μl of 2× kinase buffer β without IKK-β was transferred to BG wells. Then 20 μl of 12.5 μM ATP, 62.5 μCi/ml [γ-³³P] ATP (Amersham Pharmacia Biotech) was added and the resulting mixture was incubated for 2 hrs at room temperature. The kinase reactions were terminated by the addition of 150 μl of termination buffer (100 mM EDTA, 1 mg/ml BSA, 0.2 mg NaN₃). One handred and fifty μl of the sample were transferred to a streptavidin-coated, white MTP (Steffens Biotechniche Analysen GmbH #08114E14.FWD) to capture the biotinylated substrates. After 1 hr of incubation, non-bound radioactivity was eliminated by washing the wells five times with 300 μl of washing buffer including 0.9% NaCl and 0.1% (w/v) Tween-20 with the use of a MW-96 plate washer (BioTec). The bound radioactivity was determined after the addition of 170 μl MicroScint-PS scintillation cocktail (Packard) using a TopCount scintillation counter.

[Syk Tyrosine Kinase Inhibitory Assay for Selectivity]

(1) Preparation of Syk Protein

• • A cDNA fragment encoding human Syk openreading frame was cloned from total RNA of human Burkitt's lymphoma B cell lines, Raji (American Type Culture Collection), with the use of RT-PCR method. The cDNA fragment was inserted into pAcG2T (Pharmingen, San Diego, Calif.) to construct a baculovirus transfer vector. Then the vector, together with the linearized baculovirus (BaculoGold™, Pharmingen), was used to transfect Sf21 cells (Invitrogen, San Diego, Calif.).
  • Generated recombinant baculovirus was cloned and amplified in Sf21 cells. Sf21 cells were infected with this amplified high titer virus to produce a chimeric protein of Syk kinase fused by glutathione-S-transferase (GST).
  • The resulting GST-Syk was purified with the use of glutathione column (Amersham Pharmacia Biotech AB, Uppsala, Sweden) according to the manufacturer's instruction. The purity of the protein was confirmed to be more than 90% by SDS-PAGE.

(2) Synthesize of a Peptide

• • Next, a peptide fragment of 30 residues including two tyrosine residues, KISDFGLSKALRADENYYKAQTHGKWPVKW, was synthesized by a peptide synthesizer. The N-terminal of the fragment was then biotinylated to obtain biotinylated activation loop peptide (AL).

(3) The Measurement of Syk Tyrosine Kinase Activity

• • All reagents were diluted with the Syk kinase assay buffer (50 mM Tris-HCl (pH 8.0), 10 mM MgCl₂, 0.1 mM Na₃VO₄, 0.1% BSA, 1 mM DTT). First, a mixture (35 μl) including 3.2 μg of GST-Syk and 0.5 μg of AL was put in each well in 96-well plates. Then 5 μl of a test compound in the presence of 2.5% dimethyl sulfoxide (DMSO) was added to each well. To this mixture was added 300 μM ATP (10 μl) to initiate the kinase reaction. The final reaction mixture (50 μl) consists of 0.65 nM GST-Syk, 3 μM AL, 30 μM ATP, a test compound, 0.25% DMSO, and a Syk kinase assay buffer.

[Mouse LPS-Induced TNF-α Production]

Eight weeks old BALB/c female mice were placed into two groups, a control group and a treated group. A solution containing 200 μg/mouse of LPS in 0.9% physiological salt was administered by intraperitoneal (ip) injection into the control mice. Mice in the treated group were first injected ip with compounds of the present invention 30 minutes prior to the LPS injection. Under anesthesia with pentobarbital (80 mg/kg, i.p.), blood was collected from the posterior venous cavity of the treated and control mice at 90 min post-LPS injection into 96-well plate containing 2% EDTA solution. The plasma was separated by centrifugation at 1800 rpm for 10 minutes at 4° C. and then diluted with four times volumes of phosphate buffer saline (pH 7.4) containing 1% bovine serum albumin. TNF-α concentration in the sample was determined using an ELISA kit (Pharmingen, San Diego, Calif.)

Example 34-3

To a solution of 1-[(benzyloxy)carbonyl]-3-piperidinecarboxylic acid (3.00 g, 11.4 mmol) and Et₃N (1.56 mL, 11.4 mmol) in t-BuOH (30 mL) was added diphenyl phosphoryl azide(DPPA) (2.46 mL, 11.4 mmol), and the mixture was refluxed for 21 hrs. After cooled to room temperature, the mixture was concentrated under reduced pressure, and the residue was partitioned between ethyl acetate and a saturated aqueous NaHCO₃ solution. The organic phase was washed with a saturated aqueous NaHCO₃ solution and brine, dried over Na₂SO₄, and concentrated under reduced pressure. Purification by column chromatography on silica gel (hexane/ethyl acetate=4/1 to 3/1) gave benzyl 3-[(tert-butoxycarbonyl)amino]-1-piperidinecarboxylate as a solid (2.22 g, yield; 58%).

A mixture of benzyl 3-[(tert-butoxycarbonyl)amino]-1-piperidinecarboxylate (2.25 g, 6.73 mmol) and 10% Pd/C (0.229 g) in EtOH (20 mL) was stirred at room temperature under a hydrogen atmosphere (1 atm) for 14 hrs. The catalyst was removed by filtration through Celite®, and the filtrate was concentrated under reduced pressure to give tert-butyl 3-piperidinylcarbamate as a solid (1.22 g, yield; 91%).

The resulting tert-butyl 3-piperidinylcarbamate and 2-{[6-[2-(benzyloxy)phenyl]-3-cyano-4-(methylsulfinyl)-2-pyridinyl]oxy}acetamide were used as starting materials to prepare 2-amino-4-(3-amino-1-piperidinyl)-6-(2-hydroxyphenyl)nicotinonitrile hydrochloride in a similar manner as described in Example 34-1.

After cooled to room temprature, the mixture was partitioned between ethyl acetate and water. The organic phase was washed with water and brine, dried over Na₂SO₄, filtered, and concentrated under reduced pressure. Purification by silica gel column chromatography (hexane/ethyl acetate=1/1) gave tert-butyl 3-({2-(carbamoylmethoxy)-6-[2-(benzyloxy)phenyl]-3-cyano-4-pyridinyl}amino)-1-piperidinecarboxylate as a foam (360 mg, yield; 64%).

With the use of the resulting compound, 2-amino-6-(2-hydroxyphenyl)-4-(3-piperidinylamino)nicotinonitrile hydrochloride was prepared in a similar manner as described in Example 34-2.
