Quinoline and isoquinoline derivatives, a process for their production and their use as inflammation inhibitors

[0002] The invention relates to quinoline and isoquinoline derivatives, a process for their production and their use as inflammation inhibitors.

[0003] From the prior art of DE 100 38 639 and WO02/10143, inflammation inhibitors of the general formula

[0004] are known, whereby the Ar radical comprises phthalides, thiophthalides, benzoxazinones or phthalazinones. In the experiment, these compounds show dissociations of actions between anti-inflammatory actions and undesirable metabolic actions and are superior to the previously described, nonsteroidal glucocorticoids or have at least just as good an action.

[0005] The selectivity of the compounds of the prior art relative to the other steroid receptors, however, still requires improvement.

[0006] The object of this invention was therefore to make available compounds whose selectivity is improved relative to the other steroid receptors.

[0039] Radical Q can be linked via any ring-carbon atom with the (NH) group of the chain. The 4-, 5- and 8-positions are preferred for the quinoline ring, and the 1-position is preferred for the isoquinoline ring.

[0040] The subject matter of the invention includes the compounds of general formula I, in which

[0041] A stands for an aryl group, a benzyl group or a phenethyl group, whereby the aryl, benzyl or phenethyl group optionally can be substituted by one or more radicals from the group C1-C5-alkyl, C1-C5-alkoxy, C1-C5-alkylthio, C1-C5-perfluoroalkyl, halogen, hydroxy, cyano, nitro, —O—(CH2)n—O—, —O—(CH2)n—CH2—, —O—CH═CH—, or —(CH2)n+2—, whereby n=1 or 2, and the terminal oxygen atoms and/or carbon atoms are linked with directly adjacent ring-carbon atoms, or NR4R5,

[0048] as well as their racemates or separately present stereoisomers and optionally their physiologically compatible salts.

[0049] The subject matter of the invention includes compounds of general formula I in which Q means a quinolinyl group or an isoquinolinyl group that is linked via any position and that optionally can be substituted by one or more radicals from the group C1-C5-alkyl, which optionally can be substituted by 1-3 hydroxy groups or 1-3 COOR6 groups,

[0056] The compounds of general formula I according to the invention can be present as different stereoisomers by the presence of asymmetry centers. Both the racemates and the separately present stereoisomers are part of the subject of this invention.

[0057] A special subject of this invention are the separately present stereoisomers, i.e., (+)-enantiomers and (−)-enantiomers.

[0058] The compounds according to the invention, if they contain a hydroxy group in α-position to the quinolinyl or isoquinolinyl-nitrogen atom, are also distinguished by the presence of a keto-enol-tautomerism. In terms according to the invention, both forms are part of the subject of the invention, even if, e.g., in the experimental part, only one of the two tautomeric forms has been cited.

[0059] The process for the production of the compounds of WO98/54159, WO00/32584 and WO02/10143 can also be used for the production of the compounds according to the invention. For the linkage of the quinoline or isoquinoline group that is characteristic of the compounds according to the invention, the following process steps can be implemented:

[0060] A1)

[0061] For B═CO

[0062] An α-keto acid of general formula (II), in which A, R1 and R2 have the meanings that are indicated for formula (I), is converted with an aminoquinoline, an aminoisoquinoline or a (partially)hydrogenated quinoline or isoquinoline derivative (Q-NH2) into α-ketoamide (III), whereby A, R1, and R2 have the above-indicated meaning, in the way that is known to one skilled in the art. For example, α-ketoamide (III) is obtained with use of dehydrating coupling reagents, as they are known from peptide chemistry, e.g., dicyclohexylcarbodiimide, or by upstream conversion of the acid into an acid chloride, e.g., with thionyl chloride or POCl3 and subsequent reaction with Q-NH2.

[0063] Compound (III) is reacted either with an alkyl metal compound, for example a Grignard reagent or a lithium alkyl, or by reaction with compound (IV),

(R9)3Si—R3 (IV)

[0064] whereby R3 has the above-indicated meaning and R9 refers to a C1-C5-alkyl group, in the presence of a catalyst, e.g., fluoride salts or bases, such as, for example, alkali carbonates (J. Am. Chem. Soc. 1989, 111, 393) to form title compound (I).

[0065] A2)

[0066] For B═CO

[0067] [Key: 1. verestern=1. esterification]

[0068] As an alternative, α-keto acids (II) can also be esterified to compounds (V)

[0069] in which A, R1, and R2 are defined as described above and R10 is C1-C4-alkyl, according to commonly used methods, e.g., with thionyl chloride in methanol or ethanol or with methyl iodide and alkali carbonate, and can be converted from (III) to (I) in compound (VI) analogously to reaction sequence A1).

[0070] The ester is saponified under standard conditions, for example aqueous alkali hydroxide solution, to acid (VI; R10═H). The latter is reacted in the coupling with an aminoquinoline or aminoisoquinoline or a (partially)-hydrogenated quinoline or isoquinoline derivative (Q-NH2) with use of a standard activating reagent, e.g., thionyl chloride, optionally in the presence of a catalyst such as dimethylaminopyridine, to form title compound (I).

[0071] B)

[0072] For B=a methylene Group that is Optionally Substituted by methyl or ethyl

[0073] a)

[0074] A compound of general formula (VII) or (VIII),

[0075] in which A, B and R1, R2, and R3 have the above-indicated meaning, and LG means any leaving group such as halide or sulfonate, is reacted with a compound of general formula (IX) or (X)

Q-NH—R12 (IX)

Q-N═C═O (X)

[0076] in which R12 means a hydrogen atom, a C1-C5-acyl group or alkoxy- or aryloxycarbonyl group, and Q has the above-indicated meaning, whereby radical R12 is cleaved off or an intermediately formed oxazolidinone (cf., e.g., S. J. Brickner, D. K. Hutchinson, M. R. Barbachyn, P. R. Manninen, D. A. Ulanowicz, S. A. Garmon, K. C. Grega, S. K. Hendges, D. S. Toops, C. W. Ford, G. E. Zurenko J. Med. Chem. 1996, 39, 673) is cleaved with, for example, aqueous alkali hydroxides to obtain title compound (I).

[0077] b)

[0078] Another method consists in reacting compounds of formula (VII) or (VIII) with nitrogen nucleophiles, for example acid salts or ammonia, whereby in the first case, a reduction follows in the way that is known to one skilled in the art, e.g., with complex hydride reagents, such as lithium aluminum hydride, or by a transition metal-catalyzed hydrogenolysis to obtain compounds of formula (XI).

[0079] As indicated above, radicals R1-R3, A and B are equally important.

[0080] c)

[0081] Compound (XI) can be converted under base catalysis, e.g., in the presence of tertiary amine bases or alkali carbonates or alkali hydroxides, or under transition-metal catalysis, e.g., palladium catalysis (J. P. Wolfe, S. Wagaw, J. -F. Marcoux, S. L. Buchwald Acc. Chem. Res. 1998, 31, 805; J. F. Hartwig Acc. Chem. Res. 1998, 31, 852), with a halogenated quinoline or isoquinoline into title compound (I).

[0082] d)

[0083] Finally, title compound (I) can also be synthesized by reductive amination of a compound of formula (XII) with Q-NH2, whereby, e.g., sodium cyanoborohydride or sodium triacetoxy borohydride can be considered as a reducing agent.

[0084] R11 means methyl or ethyl according to the substituents that are defined for the methylene group in B.

[0085] In the case that the compounds of general formula I are present as salts, this can be, for example, in the form of hydrochloride, sulfate, nitrate, phosphate, pivalate, maleate, fumarate, tartrate, benzoate, mesylate, citrate or succinate.

[0086] If the compounds according to the invention are present as racemic mixtures, they can be separated into the pure, optically active forms according to the methods of racemate separation that are familiar to one skilled in the art. For example, the racemic mixtures can be separated into pure isomers by chromatography on an even optically active carrier material (CHIRALPAK AD®). It is also possible to esterify the free hydroxy group in a racemic compound of general formula I with an optically active acid and to separate the diastereoisomeric esters that are obtained by fractionated crystallization or by chromatography and to saponify the separated esters in each case to the optically pure isomers. As optically active acid, for example, mandelic acid, camphorsulfonic acid or tartaric acid can be used.

[0087] The binding of the substances to the glucocorticoid receptor (GR) and other steroid hormone receptors (mineral corticoid receptor (MR), progesterone receptor (PR) and androgen receptor (AR)) is examined with the aid of recombinantly produced receptors. Cytosol preparations of Sf9 cells, which had been infected with recombinant baculoviruses that code for the GR, are used for the binding studies. In comparison to the reference substance [3H]-dexamethasone, the substances show a high to very high affinity to GR.

[0088] Moreover, the quinolines and isoquinolines of formula (I) that are described here show a high selectivity for the glucocorticoid receptor. Example 4 thus shows, e.g., the following profile: IC50(GR)=0.6-1.3 nM; IC50(MR), IC50(PR), IC50(AR)>1 μM.

[0089] The GR-mediated inhibition of the transcription of cytokines, adhesion molecules, enzymes and other pro-inflammatory factors is considered as an essential, molecular mechanism for the anti-inflammatory action of glucocorticoids. This inhibition is produced by an interaction of the GR with other transcription factors, e.g., AP-1 and NF-kappa-B (for an overview, see Cato, A. C. B. and Wade, E., BioEssays 18, 371-378, 1996).

[0090] The compounds of general formula I according to the invention inhibit the secretion of the cytokine IL-8, triggered by lipopolysaccharide (LPS), in the human monocyte cell line THP-1. The concentration of the cytokines was determined in the supernatant by means of commercially available ELISA kits.

[0091] The anti-inflammatory action of the compounds of general formula I was tested in the animal experiment by tests in the croton-oil-induced inflammation in rats and mice (J. Exp. Med. (1995), 182, 99-108). To this end, croton oil in ethanolic solution was administered topically to the animals' ears. The test substances were also administered topically or systemically at the same time or two hours before the croton oil. After 16-24 hours, the ear weight was measured as a measurement for the inflammatory edema, the peroxidase activity as a measurement for the invasions of granulocytes and the elastase activity as a measurement for the invasion of neutrophilic granulocytes. In this test, the compounds of general formula I inhibit the three above-mentioned inflammation parameters both after topical administration and after systemic administration.

[0092] One of the most frequent undesirable actions of a glucocorticoid therapy is the so-called “steroid diabetes” [cf. Hatz, H. J., Glucocorticoide: Immunologische Grundlagen, Pharmakologie und Therapierichtlinien [Glucocorticoids: Immunological Principles, Pharmacology and Therapy Guidelines], Wissenschaftliche Verlagsgesellschaft mbH, Stuttgart, 1998]. The reason for this is the stimulation of gluconeogenesis in the liver by induction of the enzymes that are responsible for this and by free amino acids that are produced from the degradation of proteins (catabolic action of glucocorticoids). A key enzyme of the catabolic metabolism in the liver is the tyrosine aminotransferase (TAT). The activity of this enzyme can be determined photometrically from liver homogenates and represents a good measurement for the undesirable metabolic actions of the glucocorticoids. For measurement of TAT induction, the animals are sacrificed 8 hours after the test substances are administered, the livers are removed, and the TAT activity in the homogenate is measured. In this test, at doses at which they have an anti-inflammatory action, the compounds of general formula I induce little or no tyrosine aminotransferase.

[0093] Based on their anti-inflammatory action and, in addition, anti-allergic, immunosuppressive and anti-proliferative action, the compounds of general formula I according to the invention can be used as medications for treatment or prophylaxis of the following pathologic conditions in mammals and humans: In this case, the term “DISEASE” stands for the following indications:

[0188] All previously mentioned indications (i) to (xx) are described in more detail in Hatz, H. J., Glucocorticoide: Immunologische Grundlagen, Pharmakologie und Therapierichtlinien, Wissenschaftliche Verlagsgesellschaft mbH, Stuttgart, 1998.

[0189] For the therapeutic actions in the above-mentioned pathologic conditions, the suitable dose varies and depends on, for example, the active strength of the compound of general formula I, the host, the type of administration, and the type and severity of the conditions that are to be treated, as well as the use as a prophylactic agent or therapeutic agent.
