Test Example 1
(1) Preparation of Receptor Expressing CHO Cells

cDNA fragments (SEQ ID NO: 2) encoding the entire length of human metastin receptor hOT7T175 were incorporated into expression vector pAKKO1.11H to produce animal cell expression plasmids pAKKO-hOT7T175. CHO/dhFr-cells (ATCC, #CRL-9096) were seeded onto 6 cm culture dishes (Becton Dickinson) at a density of 0.3×10⁶cells/dish, and cultured in the conditions of 48 hours, 37° C. and 5% CO₂. 5 μg pAKKO-hOT7T175 plasmid DNA was transfected to the resultant cells by a known method (described in Example 3 of WO 00/24890) using the Cellphect Transfection Kit (Amersham, #27-9268-01). The DNA-transfected cells were cultured in the Dulbecco's modified Eagle medium (DMEM) (Sigma, #D6046) containing 10% dialyzed FBS (Biowest, #S180D), 1× Non-Essential Amino Acid (Invitrogen, #11140-050) and 50 μg/ml Gentamycin (Invitrogen, #15750-060; and cell strains stably expressing the plasmid genes were selected. The obtained 41 clones were treated with the FLIPR assay (in accordance with the method described in Example 3 of WO 00/24890), and the reactivity to the human metastin (45-54) (Nos. 40 to 54 of the human metastin sequence; Peptide Institute, Inc., #4389-v) was evaluated. In the end, h175 KB34 cell strains were selected. By substantially the same method, h175-16 cell strains were also produced.

(2) Preparation of a Cell Membrane Fraction of the h175 KB34 Cells

The h175 KB34 cells were cultured to be on the stage of 40-50% confluency using a cell factory (Nunc, #164327), and then cells were recovered in the following method.

First, the medium was disposed, and the cells were washed twice with 200 ml EDTA/PBS(−). Another 200 ml of EDTA/PBS(−) was added, and the cells were kept still for 20 minutes at room temperature until being peeled off. The cells were recovered into four 50 ml tubes (Becton Dickinson, #352070), and centrifuged (2,000 rpm, 10 min., 4° C.) by a reduced performance centrifuge (TOMY, RL-101). The supernatant was disposed, and the pellets in the four tubes were each suspended with 10 ml EDTA/PBS(−) and collected into one tube (Becton Dickinson, #352070). The pellet was further centrifuged (2,000 rpm, 10 min., 4° C.). The resultant pellet was suspended with 20 ml ice-cooled homogenizer buffer [10 mM NaHCO₃, 2 mM EGTA, 0.2 mM magnesium acetate, 10 μg/ml Leupeptin (Peptide Institute, Inc., #4041), 10 μg/ml E-64 (Peptide Institute, Inc., # 4096), 100 μg/ml o-phenanthroline (Dojindo Laboratories), 90 μg/ml PMSF (Wako Pure Chemical Industries, Ltd.), 10 μg/ml Pepstatin A (Peptide Institute, Inc., #4397), pH7.3]. The cell suspension was homogenized 3 times, each for 30 seconds, using a Polytron homogenizer. The resultant homogenate was centrifuged (2,500 rpm, 10 min, 4° C.) using a high performance refrigerated centrifuge (Hitachi, Ltd., CR26H). The supernatant was recovered into a super-centrifuge tube, and super-centrifuged (30,000 rpm, 60 min, 4° C.) using a super-centrifuge (Hitachi, Ltd., SCP70H). 3 ml homogenizer buffer was added to the resultant pellet, and the pellet was suspended by pipetting. 3 ml glycerol (Wako Pure Chemical Industries, Ltd.) was added to the resultant suspension and diluted 2-folds. The resultant substance was used as a cell membrane fraction of the h175 KB34 cells. Each 1001 of the membrane fraction was put into a 1.5 ml tube (Eppendorf, #0030120.086), stored in a freezer (−30 C) so as not to be frozen, and used for a binding assay.

(3) Preparation of an Assay Buffer

An assay buffer was prepared on the day of the test by adding, to each 100 ml of an assay basic buffer [20 mM Tris, 2.5 mM Magnesium Acetate, 2 mM EGTA, pH 7.4], 1 mg Leupeptin (Peptide Institute, Inc., 4041), 1 mg E-64 (Peptide Institute, Inc., 4096), 10 mg o-phenanthroline (Dojindo Laboratories), 9 mg PMSF (Wako Pure Chemical Industries, Ltd.) and 1 mg Pepstatin A (Peptide Institute, Inc., 4397). The prepared assay buffer was stored at 4° C. until being used. When the measurement was to be performed with no BSA, the above-described assay buffer was used. When the measurement was to be performed with BSA, BSA (Fraction V, Serologicals protein Inc.) was added to the assay buffer before use at a ratio of 1 mg/ml.

(4) Preparation of a Membrane Fraction Suspension

Immediately before use, the cell membrane fraction of the h175 KB34 cells prepared in section (2) was diluted 250-folds with the assay buffer.

(5) Preparation of a 251-Metastin (40-54)-Diluted Solution

Human metastin (40-54) (Nos. 40 to 54 of the human metastin sequence) was synthesized in accordance with a known method (described in Example 3 of WO 00/24890) using a peptide synthesizer.

An eluate for HPLC, liquid A (0.1% trifluoroacetic acid), and liquid B (60% acetonitrile, 0.1% trifluoroacetic acid) were prepared as follows.

Liquid A was prepared by adding 1 ml trifluoroacetic acid (Wako Pure Chemical Industries, Ltd., #206-10731) to 1 L distilled water (Wako Pure Chemical Industries, Ltd., #042-16973). Liquid B was prepared by adding 400 ml distilled water (Wako Pure Chemical Industries, Ltd., #042-16973) to 600 ml acetonitrile (Wako Pure Chemical Industries, Ltd., #015-08633), and then adding 1 ml trifluoroacetic acid.

Radioactive iodo-labeling of metastin (40-54) by lactoperoxidase was performed as follows.

20 μl 1 mM human metastin (40-54), 20 μl 0.001% hydrogen peroxide water (Wako Pure Chemical Industries, Ltd., #081-04215), 20 μl 10 μg/ml lactoperoxidase (Sigma, #L-2005), and 20 μl [¹²⁵I]sodium iodide (Amersham, #IMS30, 74 MBq/20 μl) were put to a 1.5 ml tube (Eppendorf, #0030 120.086), and mixed to allow a reaction at room temperature for 10 minutes. Immediately after the reaction, 7001 of liquid A (0.1% trifluoroacetic acid) was added to the reaction solution, and the reaction was stopped.

The reaction solution was injected into an HPLC column (Tosoh Corporation, TSKgel Super-ODS, 4.6×100 mm) which had been set to a high performance liquid chromatographer (liquid discharging pump: Shimadzu #LC-6A, system controller: Shimadzu #SLC-6A, UV detector: Shimadzu #SPD-6A, column oven: Shimadzu #CTO-10AS). Under the conditions of a flow rate of 1 ml/min. and a column temperature of 40° C., liquid B concentration was linearly increased within 40 minutes from liquid A 57%-liquid B 43% to liquid A 50%-liquid B 50%, and thus peptides were eluted. While observing the UV absorbance at 210 nm, an eluate containing a radioactive iodo-labeled metastin (40-54), i.e., ¹²⁵I-metastin (40-54), was sampled. The peptide eluate was diluted 10-folds using a ligand diluting buffer [50 mM Tris (Sigma, #T-8524), 5 mM MgCl₂(Wako Pure Chemical Industries, Ltd., #135-00165), 150 mM NaCl (Wako Pure Chemical Industries, Ltd., #791-01665), 0.03% NaN₃, (Wako Pure Chemical Industries, Ltd., #195-11092), 10 μg/ml Leupeptin (Peptide Institute, Inc., #4041), 10 μg/ml E-64 (Peptide Institute, Inc., #4096), 100 μg/ml o-phenanthroline (Dojindo Laboratories, #346-02191), 90 μg/ml PMSF (Wako Pure Chemical Industries, Ltd., #162-12182), 10 μg/ml Pepstatin A (Peptide Institute, Inc., #4397), 0.1% BSA (Sigma, #A-2153), 0.05% CHAPS (Dojindo Laboratories, #345-04724), pH 7.4]. The resultant solution was used as an undiluted stock solution of ¹²⁵I-metastin (40-54).

The radioactivity of the undiluted stock solution of ¹²⁵I-metastin (40-54) was measured by a γ counter (Packard, CobraII), and the concentration of ¹²⁵I-metastin (40-54) was calculated. When prepared under the above-described conditions, the 1251-metastin (40-54) generally had a concentration of about 50 nM.

The undiluted stock solution of ¹²⁵I-metastin (40-54) was divided into 400 μl, and stored at −70° C. until immediately before use.

The undiluted stock solution of ¹²⁵I-metastin (40-54) was diluted with a filtering buffer [50 mM Tris, 5 mM MgCl₂, 150 mM NaCl, 0.1% BSA, 0.05% CHAPS, 0.03% NaN₃, pH 7.4] to prepare a diluted stock solution of ¹²⁵I-metastin (40-54), which was stored at −30° C. Immediately before use, the diluted stock solution of ¹²⁵I-metastin (40-54) was diluted with a ligand diluting buffer (20 ml assay buffer containing 20 mg BSA and 10 mg CHAPS) to prepare a 1.5 nM ¹²⁵I-metastin (40-54) solution. This dilution was performed regardless of whether the measurement was to be performed with or without BSA.

(6) Binding Reaction

178 μl of the membrane fraction suspension liquid prepared in section (4) was added to each of the wells of a 96-well plate (type 3363, Corning). Then, 2 μl of the test compound (the compound solution diluted with DMSO 100-folds with respect to the final measurement concentration) was added to each well. 2 μl DMSO was added to each well in the total binding control zone, whereas 2 μl 200 μM human metastin (45-54) solution (4389-v of Peptide Institute, Inc., which was diluted with DMSO so as to be 200 μM) was added to each well in the non-specific binding control zone. 20 μl of the 1.5 nM ¹²⁵I-metastin (40-54) solution prepared in section (5) was added to each well, and mixed by a micromixer (Sanko Junyaku Co., Ltd.) at room temperature for 60 minutes to allow a binding reaction.

(7) Measurement

The post-binding-reaction solution in each well of the 96-well plate was transferred to a filter plate (UniFilterGF/B, PerkinElmer) which had been PEI-processed (had been immersed in 0.3% Polyethyleneimine, 20 mM Tris, pH 7.4), using a cell harvester (PerkinElmer), and then filtered. After filtering, the plate was washed three times with a washing buffer [50 mM Tris, 5 mM MgCl₂, 1 mM EDTA, 0.05% CHAPS, 0.05% NaN₃, 0.1% BSA, pH 7.4], and then dried by a dryer (50° C.) for 45 minutes. 30 μl liquid scintillator (MicroScint O, PerkinElmer) was added to the dried filter plate, and the light emission of the scintillator was measured by the TopCount (PerkinElmer) for 1 minute.

The value of specific binding is obtained by subtracting the value of non-specific binding from the value of total binding. The binding inhibiting activity of a test compound is represented with a ratio of the value of total binding minus the measurement value obtained when the test compound was added, with respect to the value of specific binding. The concentration of a compound exhibiting a binding inhibiting activity of 50% (i.e., IC₅₀value) was calculated from the dose reaction curve.

The binding inhibiting activity, represented by the IC₅₀value, of each of the compounds of Examples 1, 2, 3, 5, 7, 12 14, 23 and 27 was 10 μM or less.

Test Example 2

The h175-16 cell strains prepared in Test Example 1 were seeded onto a 96-well plate (Corning, #3904) at 3×10⁴cell/well, and cultured for 24 hours on a CO₂incubator (cell seeding plate).

A calcium kit buffer containing 0.1% BSA [20 mM HEPES, 115 mM NaCl, 5.4 mM KCl, 0.8 mM MgCl₂, 1.8 mM CaCl₂, 13.8 mM D-glucose, pH 7.4, with an attached calcium kit produced by Dojin] was prepared and kept warm at 37° C. Then, the medium in the wells of the cell seeding plate was removed, and 501 of the calcium kit buffer was added to each well. 50 μl 250 mM Probenecid (with an attached calcium kit produced by Dojin), 80 μl 5% Pluronic F-127 (with an attached calcium kit produced by Dojin) and 25 μl Fluo-3 AM (powder with an attached calcium kit produced by Dojin was dissolved in DMSO at 1 mg/ml) were added to the calcium kit buffer containing 5 ml 0.1% BSA (an amount for measuring one plate) to prepare a loading solution. 50 μl of the loading solution was added to each well to allow a reaction at 37° C. for 1 hour. Thus, Fluo-3 AM was loaded onto the cells. Then, the solution in each well was removed, and 100 μl of the calcium kit buffer containing 1.25 mM Probenecid and 0.1% BSA was added to each well.

50 μl of a test compound diluted with the calcium kit buffer containing 0.1% BSA was added to each well, and stirred by a plate shaker. A cell plate, and a ligand plate provided with human metastin (40-54) (AnyGen) diluted to 400 μM with the calcium kit buffer containing 0.1% BSA, were set to the Fluorometric Imaging Plate Reader (FLIPR, Molecular Devices), and 501 was added to each well using an automatic divider in the FLIPR. A change in the calcium concentration in the cells, which corresponded to the ligand response, was measured by a CCD camera in the FLIPR as a change in the amount of fluorescence of Fluo-3. The obtained change in the amount of fluorescence was plotted against the concentration of the test compound, and the compound concentration at which 50% of the change in the amount of fluorescence (i.e., IC₅₀value) was inhibited was calculated.

The IC₅₀value (antagonist activity), obtained by this test, of each of the compounds of Examples 3, 12, 14, 23 and 27 was 10 μM or less.

From the above, it is understood that the compounds according to the present invention are superb antagonists to a metastin receptor.

Test Example 3

The binding inhibiting activity of the compounds of the examples was measured in substantially the same manner as in Test Example 1. The binding inhibiting activity, represented by the IC₅₀value, of each of the compounds of Examples 31, 41, 42, 43, 44, 45, 46, 50, 51, 56, 57, 58, 61, 63, 64, 65, 66, 67, 68, 69, 70, 71, 76, 77, 78, 79, 80, 81, 83, 84, 85, 86, 235, 237, 238, 239, 240, 241, 242, 243, 244, 245, 246, 247, 249, 250, 251, 252, 253, 254, 255, 257, 258, 259, 261, 263, 264, 265, 266, 267, 268, 269, 270, 271, 272, 273, 274, 275, 276, 277, 278, 280, 281, 283, 284, 285, 286, 287, 288, 289, 290, 291, 292, 293, 294, 295, 296, 298, 299, 300, 301, 302, 303, 304, 306, 307, 308, 309, 310, 312, 313, 314, 315, 316, 317, 318, 319, 320, 321, 322, 324, 325, 326, 327, 328, 329, 330, 333, 334, 335, 336, 337, 338 and 339 was 10 μM or less.

From the above, it is understood that the compounds according to the present invention are superb antagonists to a metastin receptor.

Test Example 4
Suppression of the Blood LH Level of Castrated Rats

The compound of Example 303 was intravenously administered to male castrated rats, and the blood LH level was measured.

Male Wistar rats (Japan SLC, Inc.), which were castrated 7 days before the experiment and were 11 weeks old at the time of the experiment, were used. To the test animals (n=8), the compound of the example, which was dispersed to have a final concentration of 0.5 mmol/L with 20% DMSO-d₆₀% PEG400, was intravenously administered in an amount of 0.22 mg/kg (0.8 ml/kg) every 10 minutes, 5 times in succession. To the control animals (n=8), only 20% DMSO-d₆₀% PEG400 used as a dispersion medium was intravenously administered in an amount of 0.8 ml/kg every 10 minutes, 5 times in succession. Immediately before the administration, and 25, 45, 60, 90, 120 and 180 minutes after the start of administration, blood was sampled from the external jugular vein as an aprotinin-EDTA plasma sample, and immediately frozen for storage. The LH concentration in the plasma was measured by radioimmunoassay.

FIG. 1 shows the LH concentration (average value±standard deviation) in each administration group.

The start time of the administration was set to 0 (represented with the arrow). In the control group, substantially no change was observed in the blood LH concentration even after the administration. By contrast, in the group to which the compound was administered, the blood LH concentration decreased to 68% of that of the control group 60 minutes after the start of administration (P<0.01). FIG. 2 especially shows the plasma LH concentration (average value±standard deviation) immediately before the administration and 60 minutes after the start of administration.

From the above results, it is shown that the compound of Example 303 has a function of significantly decreasing the blood LH concentration when intravenously administered.
