Description
BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION

The present disclosure relates to novel compounds which are relaxin family peptide receptor 1 (RXFP1) agonists, compositions containing them, and methods of using them, for example in the treatment of heart failure, fibrotic diseases, and related diseases such as lung disease (e.g., idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis), kidney disease (e.g., chronic kidney disease), and hepatic disease (e.g., non-alcoholic steatohepatitis and portal hypertension).


The human relaxin hormone (also called relaxin or H2 relaxin) is a 6-kDa peptide composed of 53 amino acids whose activity was initially discovered when Frederick Hisaw in 1926 injected crude extracts from swine corpus luteum into virgin guinea pigs and observed a relaxation of the fibrocartilaginous pubic symphysis joint (Hisaw F L., Proc. Soc. Exp. Biol. Med., 1926, 23, 661-663). The relaxin receptor was previously known as Lgr7 but is now officially termed the relaxin family peptide receptor 1 (RXFP1) and was deorphanized as a receptor for relaxin in 2002 (Hsu S Y., et al., Science, 2002, 295, 671-674). RXFP1 is reasonably well conserved between mouse and human with 85% amino acid identity and is essentially ubiquitously expressed in humans and in other species (Halls M L., et al., Br. J. Pharmacol., 2007, 150, 677-691). The cell signaling pathways for relaxin and RXFP1 are cell type dependent and quite complex (Halls M L., et al., Br. J. Pharmacol., 2007, 150, 677-691; Halls M L., et al. Ann. NY Acad. Sci., 2009, 1160, 108-111; Halls M L., Ann NY Acad. Sci., 2007, 1160, 117-120). The best studied pathway is the relaxin-dependent increase in cellular levels of cAMP in which relaxin functions as an RXFP1 agonist to promote GαS coupling and activation of adenylate cyclase (Halls M L., et al., Mol. Pharmacol., 2006, 70, 214-226).


Since the initial discovery of relaxin much experimental work has focused on delineating the role relaxin has played in female reproductive biology and the physiological changes that occur during mammalian pregnancy (Sherwood O D., Endocr. Rev., 2004, 25, 205-234). During human gestation, in order to meet the nutritional demands imposed upon it by the fetus, the female body undergoes a significant ˜30% decrease in systemic vascular resistance (SVR) and a concomitant ˜50% increase in cardiac output (Jeyabalan A C., K. P., Renal and Electolyte Disorders. 2010, 462-518), (Clapp J F. & Capeless E., Am. J. Cardio., 1997, 80, 1469-1473). Additional vascular adaptations include an ˜30% increase in global arterial compliance that is important for maintaining efficient ventricular-arterial coupling, as well as an ˜50% increase in both renal blood flow (RBF) and glomerular filtration rate (GFR), important for metabolic waste elimination (Jeyabalan A C., K. P., Renal and Electolyte Disorders. 2010, 462-518), (Poppas A., et al., Circ., 1997, 95, 2407-2415). Both pre-clinical studies in rodents as well as clinical studies performed in a variety of patient settings, provide evidence that relaxin is involved, at least to some extent, in mediating these adaptive physiological changes (Conrad K P., Regul. Integr. Comp. Physiol., 2011, 301, R267-275), (Teichman S L., et al., Heart Fail. Rev., 2009, 14, 321-329). Importantly, many of these adaptive responses would likely be of benefit to HF patients in that excessive fibrosis, poor arterial compliance, and poor renal function are all characteristics common to heart failure patients (Mohammed S F., et al., Circ., 2015, 131, 550-559), (Wohlfahrt P., et al., Eur. J. Heart Fail., 2015, 17, 27-34), (Damman K., et al., Prog. Cardiovasc. Dis., 2011, 54, 144-153).


Heart failure (HF), defined hemodynamically as “systemic perfusion inadequate to meet the body's metabolic demands as a result of impaired cardiac pump function”, represents a tremendous burden on today's health care system with an estimated United States prevalence of 5.8 million and greater than 23 million worldwide (Roger V L., et al., Circ. Res., 2013, 113, 646-659). It is estimated that by 2030, an additional 3 million people in the United States alone will have HF, a 25% increase from 2010. The estimated direct costs (2008 dollars) associated with HF for 2010 was $25 billion, projected to grow to $78 B by 2030 (Heidenreich P A., et al., Circ., 2011, 123, 933-944). Astoundingly, in the United States, 1 in 9 deaths has HF mentioned on the death certificate (Roger V L., et al., Circ., 2012, 125, e2-220) and, while survival after HF diagnosis has improved over time (Matsushita K., et al., Diabetes, 2010, 59, 2020-2026), (Roger V L., et al., JAMA, 2004, 292, 344-350), the death rate remains high with ˜50% of people with HF dying within 5 years of diagnosis (Roger V L., et al., Circ., 2012, 125, e2-220), (Roger V L., et al., JAMA, 2004, 292, 344-350).


The symptoms of HF are the result of inadequate cardiac output and can be quite debilitating depending upon the advanced stage of the disease. Major symptoms and signs of HF include: 1) dyspnea (difficulty in breathing) resulting from pulmonary edema due to ineffective forward flow from the left ventricle and increased pressure in the pulmonary capillary bed; 2) lower extremity edema occurs when the right ventricle is unable to accommodate systemic venous return; and 3) fatigue due to the failing heart's inability to sustain sufficient cardiac output (CO) to meet the body's metabolic needs (Kemp C D., & Conte J V., Cardiovasc. Pathol., 2011, 21, 365-371). Also, related to the severity of symptoms, HF patients are often described as “compensated” or “decompensated”. In compensated heart failure, symptoms are stable, and many overt features of fluid retention and pulmonary edema are absent. Decompensated heart failure refers to a deterioration, which may present as an acute episode of pulmonary edema, a reduction in exercise tolerance, and increasing breathlessness upon exertion (Millane T., et al., BMJ, 2000, 320, 559-562).


In contrast to the simplistic definition of poor cardiac performance not being able to meet metabolic demands, the large number of contributory diseases, multitude of risk factors, and the many pathological changes that ultimately lead to heart failure make this disease exceedingly complex (Jessup M. & Brozena S., N. Engl. J. Med., 2003, 348, 3007-2018). Injurious events thought to be involved in the pathophysiology of HF range from the very acute such as myocardial infarction to a more chronic insult such as life-long hypertension. Historically, HF was primarily described as “systolic HF” in which decreased left-ventricular (LV) contractile function limits the expulsion of blood and hence results in a reduced ejection fraction (EF is stroke volume/end diastolic volume), or “diastolic HF” in which active relaxation is decreased and passive stiffness is increased limiting LV filling during diastole, however overall EF is maintained (Borlaug B A. & Paulus W J., Eur Heart J., 2011, 32, 670-679). More recently, as it became understood that diastolic and systolic LV dysfunction was not uniquely specific to these two groups, new terminology was employed: “heart failure with reduced ejection fraction” (HFrEF), and “heart failure with preserved ejection fraction” (HFpEF) (Borlaug B A. & Paulus W J., Eur Heart J., 2011, 32, 670-679). Although these two patient populations have very similar signs and symptoms, whether HFrEF and HFpEF represent two distinct forms of HF or two extremes of a single spectrum sharing a common pathogenesis is currently under debate within the cardiovascular community (Borlaug B A. & Redfield M M., Circ., 2011, 123, 2006-2013), (De Keulenaer G W., & Brutsaert D L., Circ., 2011, 123, 1996-2004).


Serelaxin, an intravenous (IV) formulation of the recombinant human relaxin peptide with a relatively short first-phase pharmacokinetic half-life of 0.09 hours, is currently being developed for the treatment of HF (Novartis, 2014). Serelaxin has been given to normal healthy volunteers (NHV) and demonstrated to increase RBF (Smith M C., et al., J. Am. Soc. Nephrol. 2006, 17, 3192-3197) and estimated GFR (Dahlke M., et al., J. Clin. Pharmacol., 2015, 55, 415-422). Increases in RBF were also observed in stable compensated HF patients (Voors A A., et al., Cir. Heart Fail., 2014, 7, 994-1002). In large clinical studies, favorable changes in worsening renal function, worsening HF, as well as fewer deaths, were observed in acute decompensated HF (ADHF) patients in response to an in-hospital 48 hour IV infusion of serelaxin (Teerlink J R., et al., Lancet, 2013, 381, 29-39), (Ponikowski P., et al., Eur. Heart, 2014, 35, 431-441). Suggesting that chronic dosing of serelaxin could provide sustained benefit to HF patients, improvement in renal function based on serum creatinine levels was observed in scleroderma patients given serelaxin continuously for 6 months using a subcutaneous pump (Teichman S L., et al., Heart Fail. Rev., 2009, 14, 321-329). In addition to its potential as a therapeutic agent for the treatment of HF, continuous subcutaneous administration of relaxin has also been demonstrated to be efficacious in a variety of animal models of lung (Unemori E N., et al., J. Clin. Invet., 1996, 98, 2739-2745), kidney (Garber S L., et al., Kidney Int., 2001, 59, 876-882), and liver injury (Bennett R G., Liver Int., 2014, 34, 416-426).


In summary, a large body of evidence supports a role for relaxin-dependent agonism of RXFP1 mediating the adaptive changes that occur during mammalian pregnancy, and that these changes translate into favorable physiological effects and outcomes when relaxin is given to HF patients. Additional preclinical animal studies in various disease models of lung, kidney, and liver injury provide evidence that relaxin, when chronically administered, has the potential to provide therapeutic benefit for multiple indications in addition to HF. More specifically, chronic relaxin administration could be of benefit to patients suffering from lung disease (e.g., idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis), kidney disease (e.g., chronic kidney disease), or hepatic disease (e.g., non-alcoholic steatohepatitis and portal hypertension).

Unless specified otherwise, these terms have the following meanings.


“Halo” includes fluoro, chloro, bromo, and iodo.


“Alkyl” or “alkylene” is intended to include both branched and straight-chain saturated aliphatic hydrocarbon groups having the specified number of carbon atoms. For example, “C1 to C10 alkyl” or “C1-10 alkyl” (or alkylene), is intended to include C1, C2, C3, C4, C5, C6, C7, C8, C9, and C10 alkyl groups. Additionally, for example, “C1 to C6 alkyl” or “C1-C6 alkyl” denotes alkyl having 1 to 6 carbon atoms. Alkyl group can be unsubstituted or substituted with at least one hydrogen being replaced by another chemical group. Example alkyl groups include, but are not limited to, methyl (Me), ethyl (Et), propyl (e.g., n-propyl and isopropyl), butyl (e.g., n-butyl, isobutyl, t-butyl), and pentyl (e.g., n-pentyl, isopentyl, neopentyl). When “C0 alkyl” or “C0 alkylene” is used, it is intended to denote a direct bond. “Alkyl” also includes deuteroalkyl such as CD3.


“Alkenyl” or “alkenylene” is intended to include hydrocarbon chains of either straight or branched configuration having one or more, preferably one to three, carbon-carbon double bonds that may occur in any stable point along the chain. For example, “C2 to C6 alkenyl” or “C2-6 alkenyl” (or alkenylene), is intended to include C2, C3, C4, C5, and C6 alkenyl groups; such as ethenyl, propenyl, butenyl, pentenyl, and hexenyl.


“Alkynyl” or “alkynylene” is intended to include hydrocarbon chains of either straight or branched configuration having one or more, preferably one to three, carbon-carbon triple bonds that may occur in any stable point along the chain. For example, “C2 to C6 alkynyl” or “C2-6 alkynyl” (or alkynylene), is intended to include C2, C3, C4, C5, and C6 alkynyl groups; such as ethynyl, propynyl, butynyl, pentynyl, and hexynyl.


“Carbocycle”, “carbocyclyl”, or “carbocyclic residue” is intended to mean any stable 3-, 4-, 5-, 6-, 7-, or 8-membered monocyclic or bicyclic or 7-, 8-, 9-, 10-, 11-, 12-, or 13-membered bicyclic or tricyclic hydrocarbon ring, any of which may be saturated, partially unsaturated, unsaturated or aromatic. Examples of such carbocyclyls include, but are not limited to, cyclopropyl, cyclobutyl, cyclobutenyl, cyclopentyl, cyclopentenyl, cyclohexyl, cycloheptenyl, cycloheptyl, cycloheptenyl, adamantyl, cyclooctyl, cyclooctenyl, cyclooctadienyl, [3.3.0]bicyclooctane, [4.3.0]bicyclononane, [4.4.0]bicyclodecane (decalin), [2.2.2]bicyclooctane, fluorenyl, phenyl, naphthyl, indanyl, adamantyl, anthracenyl, and tetrahydronaphthyl (tetralin). As shown above, bridged rings are also included in the definition of carbocyclyl (e.g., [2.2.2]bicyclooctane). A bridged ring occurs when one or more carbon atoms link two non-adjacent carbon atoms. Preferred bridges are one or two carbon atoms. It is noted that a bridge always converts a monocyclic ring into a tricyclic ring. When a ring is bridged, the substituents recited for the ring may also be present on the bridge. When the term “carbocyclyl” is used, it is intended to include “aryl,” “cycloalkyl,” “spirocycloalkyl,” “cycloalkenyl.” Preferred carbocyclyls, unless otherwise specified, are cyclopropyl, cyclobutyl, cyclopentyl, cyclohexyl, phenyl, and indanyl.


“Cycloalkyl” is intended to mean cyclized alkyl groups, including mono-, bi- or multicyclic ring systems. “C3 to C7 cycloalkyl” or “C3-7 cycloalkyl” is intended to include C3, C4, C5, C6, and C7 cycloalkyl groups. Non-limiting examples of monocyclic cycloalkyls include cyclopropyl, cyclobutyl, cyclopentyl, cyclohexyl, cycloheptyl and cyclooctyl. Non-limiting examples of multicyclic cycloalkyls include 1-decalinyl, norbornyl and adamantyl.


“Cycloalkenyl” is intended to mean cyclized alkenyl groups, including mono- or multi-cyclic ring systems that contain one or more double bonds in at least one ring; although, if there is more than one, the double bonds cannot form a fully delocalized pi-electron system throughout all the rings (otherwise the group would be “aryl,” as defined herein). “C3 to C7 cycloalkenyl” or “C3-7 cycloalkenyl” is intended to include C3, C4, C5, C6, and C7 cycloalkenyl groups.

Of the two fused rings, one ring is a benzo ring fused to a second ring; and the second ring is a 5- or 6-membered carbon ring which is saturated, partially unsaturated, or unsaturated. The bicyclic carbocyclic group may be attached to its pendant group at any carbon atom which results in a stable structure. The bicyclic carbocyclic group described herein may be substituted on any carbon if the resulting compound is stable. Examples of a bicyclic carbocyclic group are, but not limited to, naphthyl, 1,2-dihydronaphthyl, 1,2,3,4-tetrahydronaphthyl, and indanyl.


“Aryl” groups refer to monocyclic or polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons, including, for example, phenyl, naphthyl, and phenanthranyl.

The nitrogen and sulfur heteroatoms may optionally be oxidized (i.e., N→O and S(O)p, wherein p is 0, 1 or 2). The nitrogen atom may be substituted or unsubstituted (i.e., N or NR wherein R is H or another substituent, if defined). The heterocyclic ring may be attached to its pendant group at any heteroatom or carbon atom that results in a stable structure. The heterocyclic rings described herein may be substituted on carbon or on a nitrogen atom if the resulting compound is stable. A nitrogen in the heterocyclyl may optionally be quaternized. It is preferred that when the total number of S and O atoms in the heterocyclyl exceeds 1, then these heteroatoms are not adjacent to one another. It is preferred that the total number of S and O atoms in the heterocyclyl is not more than 1. Bridged rings are also included in the definition of heterocyclyl. When the term “heterocyclyl” is used, it is intended to include heteroaryl.

Also included are fused ring and spiro compounds containing, for example, the above heterocyclyls.


“Bicyclic heterocyclyl” “bicyclic heterocyclyl” or “bicyclic heterocyclic group” is intended to mean a stable 9- or 10-membered heterocyclic ring system which contains two fused rings and consists of carbon atoms and 1, 2, 3, or 4 heteroatoms independently selected from the group consisting of N, O and S. Of the two fused rings, one ring is a 5- or 6-membered monocyclic aromatic ring comprising a 5-membered heteroaryl ring, a 6-membered heteroaryl ring or a benzo ring, each fused to a second ring. The second ring is a 5- or 6-membered monocyclic ring which is saturated, partially unsaturated, or unsaturated, and comprises a 5-membered heterocyclyl, a 6-membered heterocyclyl or a carbocyclyl (provided the first ring is not benzo when the second ring is a carbocyclyl).


The bicyclic heterocyclic group may be attached to its pendant group at any heteroatom or carbon atom which results in a stable structure. The bicyclic heterocyclic group described herein may be substituted on carbon or on a nitrogen atom if the resulting compound is stable. It is preferred that when the total number of S and O atoms in the heterocyclyl exceeds 1, then these heteroatoms are not adjacent to one another.

The nitrogen and sulfur heteroatoms may optionally be oxidized (i.e., N→O and S(O)p, wherein p is 0, 1 or 2).


As referred to herein, the term “substituted” means that at least one hydrogen atom is replaced with a non-hydrogen group, provided that normal valencies are maintained and that the substitution results in a stable compound. When a substituent is keto (i.e., ═O), then 2 hydrogens on the atom are replaced. Keto substituents are not present on aromatic moieties. When a ring system (e.g., carbocyclic or heterocyclic) is said to be substituted with a carbonyl group or a double bond, it is intended that the carbonyl group or double bond be part (i.e., within) of the ring. Ring double bonds, as used herein, are double bonds that are formed between two adjacent ring atoms (e.g., C═C, C═N, or N═N).


In cases wherein there are nitrogen atoms (e.g., amines) on compounds of the present invention, these may be converted to N-oxides by treatment with an oxidizing agent (e.g., mCPBA and/or hydrogen peroxides) to afford other compounds of this invention. Thus, shown and claimed nitrogen atoms are considered to cover both the shown nitrogen and its N-oxide (N→O) derivative.


When any variable occurs more than one time in any constituent or formula for a compound, its definition at each occurrence is independent of its definition at every other occurrence. Thus, for example, if a group is shown to be substituted with 0-3 R groups, then said group may optionally be substituted with up to three R groups, and at each occurrence R is selected independently from the definition of R. Also, combinations of substituents and/or variables are permissible only if such combinations result in stable compounds.


When a bond to a substituent is shown to cross a bond connecting two atoms in a ring, then such substituent may be bonded to any atom on the ring. When a substituent is listed without indicating the atom in which such substituent is bonded to the rest of the compound of a given formula, then such substituent may be bonded via any atom in such substituent. Combinations of substituents and/or variables are permissible only if such combinations result in stable compounds.


The invention includes all pharmaceutically acceptable salt forms of the compounds. Pharmaceutically acceptable salts are those in which the counter ions do not contribute significantly to the physiological activity or toxicity of the compounds and as such function as pharmacological equivalents. These salts can be made according to common organic techniques employing commercially available reagents. Some anionic salt forms include acetate, acistrate, besylate, bromide, chloride, citrate, fumarate, glucouronate, hydrobromide, hydrochloride, hydroiodide, iodide, lactate, maleate, mesylate, nitrate, pamoate, phosphate, succinate, sulfate, tartrate, tosylate, and xinofoate. Some cationic salt forms include ammonium, aluminum, benzathine, bismuth, calcium, choline, diethylamine, diethanolamine, lithium, magnesium, meglumine, 4-phenylcyclohexylamine, piperazine, potassium, sodium, tromethamine, and zinc.


Throughout the specification and the appended claims, a given chemical formula or name shall encompass all stereo and optical isomers and racemates thereof where such isomers exist. Unless otherwise indicated, all chiral (enantiomeric and diastereomeric) and racemic forms are within the scope of the invention. Enantiomers and diastereomers are examples of stereoisomers. The term “enantiomer” refers to one of a pair of molecular species that are mirror images of each other and are not superimposable. The term “diastereomer” refers to stereoisomers that are not mirror images. The term “racemate” or “racemic mixture” refers to a composition composed of equimolar quantities of two enantiomeric species, wherein the composition is devoid of optical activity.


The invention includes all tautomeric forms of the compounds, atropisomers and rotational isomers.


The term “counterion” is used to represent a negatively charged species such as chloride, bromide, hydroxide, acetate, and sulfate.


All processes used to prepare compounds of the present invention and intermediates made therein are considered to be part of the present invention.


The symbols “R” and “S” represent the configuration of substituents around a chiral carbon atom(s). The isomeric descriptors “R” and “S” are used as described herein for indicating atom configuration(s) relative to a core molecule and are intended to be used as defined in the literature (IUPAC Recommendations 1996, Pure and Applied Chemistry, 68:2193-2222 (1996)).


The term “chiral” refers to the structural characteristic of a molecule that makes it impossible to superimpose it on its mirror image. The term “homochiral” refers to a state of enantiomeric purity. The term “optical activity” refers to the degree to which a homochiral molecule or nonracemic mixture of chiral molecules rotates a plane of polarized light.


The invention is intended to include all isotopes of atoms occurring in the compounds. Isotopes include those atoms having the same atomic number but different mass numbers. By way of general example and without limitation, isotopes of hydrogen include deuterium and tritium. Isotopes of carbon include 13C and 14C. Isotopically-labeled compounds of the invention can generally be prepared by conventional techniques known to those skilled in the art or by processes analogous to those described herein, using an appropriate isotopically-labeled reagent in place of the non-labeled reagent otherwise employed. Such compounds may have a variety of potential uses, for example as standards and reagents in determining biological activity. In the case of stable isotopes, such compounds may have the potential to favorably modify biological, pharmacological, or pharmacokinetic properties.


Biological Methods

RXFP1 Cyclic Adenosine Monophosphate (cAMP) Assays. Human embryonic kidney cells 293 (HEK293) cells and HEK293 cells stably expressing human RXFP1, were cultured in MEM medium supplemented with 10% qualified FBS, and 300 μg/ml hygromycin (Life Technologies). Cells were dissociated and suspended in assay buffer. The assay buffer was HBSS buffer (with calcium and magnesium) containing 20 mM HEPES, 0.05% BSA, and 0.5 mM IBMX. Cells (3000 cells per well, except 1500 cell per well for HEK293 cells stably expressing human RXFP1) were added to 384-well Proxiplates (Perkin-Elmer). Cells were immediately treated with test compounds in DMSO (2% final) at final concentrations in the range of 0.010 nM to 50 μM. Cells were incubated for 30 min at room temperature. The level of intracellular cAMP was determined using the HTRF HiRange cAMP assay reagent kit (Cisbio) according to manufacturer's instructions. Solutions of cryptate conjugated anti-cAMP and d2 fluorophore-labelled cAMP were made in a supplied lysis buffer separately. Upon completion of the reaction, the cells were lysed with equal volume of the d2-cAMP solution and anti-cAMP solution. After a 1 h room temperature incubation, time-resolved fluorescence intensity was measured using the Envision (Perkin-Elmer) at 400 nm excitation and dual emission at 590 nm and 665 nm. A calibration curve was constructed with an external cAMP standard at concentrations ranging from 2.7 μM to 0.1 pM by plotting the fluorescent intensity ratio from 665 nm emission to the intensity from the 590 nm emission against cAMP concentrations. The potency and activity of a compound to inhibit cAMP production was then determined by fitting to a 4-parametric logistic equation from a plot of cAMP level versus compound concentrations.


The examples disclosed below were tested in the human RXFP1 (hRXFP1) HEK293 cAMP assay described above and found to have agonist activity. Table 1 lists EC50 values in the hRXFP1 HEK293 cAMP assay measured for the examples.

Unless otherwise specified, the following terms have the stated meanings.


The term “patient” or “subject” refers to any human or non-human organism that could potentially benefit from treatment with a RXFP1 agonist as understood by practioners in this field. Exemplary subjects include human beings of any age with risk factors for cardiovascular disease. Common risk factors include, but are not limited to, age, sex, weight, family history, sleep apnea, alcohol or tobacco use, physical inactivity arrhythmia or signs of insulin resistance such as acanthosis nigricans, hypertension, dyslipidemia, or polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS).


“Treating” or “treatment” cover the treatment of a disease-state as understood by practitioners in this field and include the following: (a) inhibiting the disease-state, i.e., arresting it development; (b) relieving the disease-state, i.e., causing regression of the disease state; and/or (c) preventing the disease-state from occurring in a mammal, in particular, when such mammal is predisposed to the disease-state but has not yet been diagnosed as having it.


“Preventing” or “prevention” cover the preventive treatment (i.e., prophylaxis and/or risk reduction) of a subclinical disease-state aimed at reducing the probability of the occurrence of a clinical disease-state as understood by practitioners in this field. Patients are selected for preventative therapy based on factors that are known to increase risk of suffering a clinical disease state compared to the general population. “Prophylaxis” therapies can be divided into (a) primary prevention and (b) secondary prevention. Primary prevention is defined as treatment in a subject that has not yet presented with a clinical disease state, whereas secondary prevention is defined as preventing a second occurrence of the same or similar clinical disease state. “Risk reduction” or “reducing risk” covers therapies that lower the incidence of development of a clinical disease state. As such, primary and secondary prevention therapies are examples of risk reduction.

Relaxin-associated disorders include but are not limited to disorders of the cardiovascular system and fibrotic disorders.


The compounds of this invention can be administered by any suitable means, for example, orally, such as tablets, capsules (each of which includes sustained release or timed release formulations), pills, powders, granules, elixirs, tinctures, suspensions (including nanosuspensions, microsuspensions, spray-dried dispersions), syrups, and emulsions; sublingually; bucally; parenterally, such as by subcutaneous, intravenous, intramuscular, or intrasternal injection, or infusion techniques (e.g., as sterile injectable aqueous or non-aqueous solutions or suspensions); nasally, including administration to the nasal membranes, such as by inhalation spray; topically, such as in the form of a cream or ointment; or rectally such as in the form of suppositories. They can be administered alone, but generally will be administered with a pharmaceutical carrier selected on the basis of the chosen route of administration and standard pharmaceutical practice.


“Pharmaceutical composition” means a composition comprising a compound of the invention in combination with at least one additional pharmaceutically acceptable carrier. A “pharmaceutically acceptable carrier” refers to media generally accepted in the art for the delivery of biologically active agents to animals, in particular, mammals, including, i.e., adjuvant, excipient or vehicle, such as diluents, preserving agents, fillers, flow regulating agents, disintegrating agents, wetting agents, emulsifying agents, suspending agents, sweetening agents, flavoring agents, perfuming agents, anti-bacterial agents, anti-fungal agents, lubricating agents and dispensing agents, depending on the nature of the mode of administration and dosage forms.


Pharmaceutically acceptable carriers are formulated according to a number of factors well within the purview of those of ordinary skill in the art. These include, without limitation: the type and nature of the active agent being formulated; the subject to which the agent-containing composition is to be administered; the intended route of administration of the composition; and the therapeutic indication being targeted. Pharmaceutically acceptable carriers include both aqueous and non-aqueous liquid media, as well as a variety of solid and semi-solid dosage forms. Such carriers can include a number of different ingredients and additives in addition to the active agent, such additional ingredients being included in the formulation for a variety of reasons, e.g., stabilization of the active agent, binders, etc., well known to those of ordinary skill in the art. Descriptions of suitable pharmaceutically acceptable carriers, and factors involved in their selection, are found in a variety of readily available sources such as, for example, Allen, L. V., Jr. et al., Remington: The Science and Practice of Pharmacy (2 Volumes), 22nd Edition, Pharmaceutical Press (2012).


The dosage regimen for the compounds of the present invention will, of course, vary depending upon known factors, such as the pharmacodynamic characteristics of the particular agent and its mode and route of administration; the species, age, sex, health, medical condition, and weight of the recipient; the nature and extent of the symptoms; the kind of concurrent treatment; the frequency of treatment; the route of administration, the renal and hepatic function of the patient, and the effect desired.


By way of general guidance, the daily oral dosage of each active ingredient, when used for the indicated effects, will range between about 0.01 to about 5000 mg per day, preferably between about 0.1 to about 1000 mg per day, and most preferably between about 0.1 to about 250 mg per day. Intravenously, the most preferred doses will range from about 0.01 to about 10 mg/kg/minute during a constant rate infusion. Compounds of this invention may be administered in a single daily dose, or the total daily dosage may be administered in divided doses of two, three, or four times daily.


The compounds are typically administered in admixture with suitable pharmaceutical diluents, excipients, or carriers (collectively referred to herein as pharmaceutical carriers) suitably selected with respect to the intended form of administration, e.g., oral tablets, capsules, elixirs, and syrups, and consistent with conventional pharmaceutical practices.


Dosage forms (pharmaceutical compositions) suitable for administration may contain from about 1 milligram to about 2000 milligrams of active ingredient per dosage unit. In these pharmaceutical compositions the active ingredient will ordinarily be present in an amount of about 0.1-95% by weight based on the total weight of the composition. A typical capsule for oral administration contains at least one of the compounds of the present invention (250 mg), lactose (75 mg), and magnesium stearate (15 mg). The mixture is passed through a 60 mesh sieve and packed into a No. 1 gelatin capsule. A typical injectable preparation is produced by aseptically placing at least one of the compounds of the present invention (250 mg) into a vial, aseptically freeze-drying and sealing. For use, the contents of the vial are mixed with 2 mL of physiological saline, to produce an injectable preparation.

The above other therapeutic agents, when employed in combination with the compounds of the present invention may be used, for example, in those amounts indicated in the Physicians' Desk Reference, as in the patents set out above, or as otherwise determined by practitioners in the art.


Particularly when provided as a single dosage unit, the potential exists for a chemical interaction between the combined active ingredients. For this reason, when the compound of the present invention and a second therapeutic agent are combined in a single dosage unit they are formulated such that although the active ingredients are combined in a single dosage unit, the physical contact between the active ingredients is minimized (that is, reduced). For example, one active ingredient may be enteric coated. By enteric coating one of the active ingredients, it is possible not only to minimize the contact between the combined active ingredients, but also, it is possible to control the release of one of these components in the gastrointestinal tract such that one of these components is not released in the stomach but rather is released in the intestines. One of the active ingredients may also be coated with a material that affects a sustained-release throughout the gastrointestinal tract and also serves to minimize physical contact between the combined active ingredients. Furthermore, the sustained-released component can be additionally enteric coated such that the release of this component occurs only in the intestine. Still another approach would involve the formulation of a combination product in which the one component is coated with a sustained and/or enteric release polymer, and the other component is also coated with a polymer such as a low viscosity grade of hydroxypropyl methylcellulose (HPMC) or other appropriate materials as known in the art, in order to further separate the active components. The polymer coating serves to form an additional barrier to interaction with the other component.


The compounds of the present invention are also useful as standard or reference compounds, for example as a quality standard or control, in tests or assays involving the RXFP1. Such compounds may be provided in a commercial kit, for example, for use in pharmaceutical research involving RXFP1 activity. For example, a compound of the present invention could be used as a reference in an assay to compare its known activity to a compound with an unknown activity. This would ensure the experimenter that the assay was being performed properly and provide a basis for comparison, especially if the test compound was a derivative of the reference compound. When developing new assays or protocols, compounds according to the present invention could be used to test their effectiveness. The compounds of the present invention may also be used in diagnostic assays involving RXFP1.


The present invention also encompasses an article of manufacture. As used herein, article of manufacture is intended to include, but not be limited to, kits and packages. The article of manufacture of the present invention, comprises: (a) a first container; (b) a pharmaceutical composition located within the first container, wherein the composition, comprises a first therapeutic agent, comprising a compound of the present invention or a pharmaceutically acceptable salt form thereof; and, (c) a package insert stating that the pharmaceutical composition can be used for the treatment of dyslipidemias and the sequelae thereof. In another embodiment, the package insert states that the pharmaceutical composition can be used in combination (as defined previously) with a second therapeutic agent for the treatment of dyslipidemias and the sequelae thereof. The article of manufacture can further comprise: (d) a second container, wherein components (a) and (b) are located within the second container and component (c) is located within or outside of the second container. Located within the first and second containers means that the respective container holds the item within its boundaries.


The first container is a receptacle used to hold a pharmaceutical composition. This container can be for manufacturing, storing, shipping, and/or individual/bulk selling. First container is intended to cover a bottle, jar, vial, flask, syringe, tube (e.g., for a cream preparation), or any other container used to manufacture, hold, store, or distribute a pharmaceutical product.


The second container is one used to hold the first container and, optionally, the package insert. Examples of the second container include, but are not limited to, boxes (e.g., cardboard or plastic), crates, cartons, bags (e.g., paper or plastic bags), pouches, and sacks. The package insert can be physically attached to the outside of the first container via tape, glue, staple, or another method of attachment, or it can rest inside the second container without any physical means of attachment to the first container. Alternatively, the package insert is located on the outside of the second container. When located on the outside of the second container, it is preferable that the package insert is physically attached via tape, glue, staple, or another method of attachment. Alternatively, it can be adjacent to or touching the outside of the second container without being physically attached.


The package insert is a label, tag, marker, etc. that recites information relating to the pharmaceutical composition located within the first container. The information recited will usually be determined by the regulatory agency governing the area in which the article of manufacture is to be sold (e.g., the United States Food and Drug Administration). Preferably, the package insert specifically recites the indications for which the pharmaceutical composition has been approved. The package insert may be made of any material on which a person can read information contained therein or thereon. Preferably, the package insert is a printable material (e.g., paper, plastic, cardboard, foil, adhesive-backed paper or plastic, etc.) on which the desired information has been formed (e.g., printed or applied).

      NMR Employed in Characterization of Examples. 1H NMR spectra were obtained with Bruker or JEOL® Fourier transform spectrometers operating at frequencies as follows: 1H NMR: 400 MHz (Bruker or JEOL®) or 500 MHz (Bruker or JEOL®). Spectra data are reported in the format: chemical shift (multiplicity, coupling constants, number of hydrogens). Chemical shifts are specified in ppm downfield of a tetramethylsilane internal standard (δ units, tetramethylsilane=0 ppm) and/or referenced to solvent peaks, which in 1H NMR spectra appear at 2.51 ppm for DMSO-d6, 3.30 ppm for CD3OD, 1.94 ppm for CD3CN, and 7.24 ppm for CDCl3.





Scheme I describes how norbornyl examples may be prepared starting from norbornyl intermediates I-1, which are either commercially available (R1=R2=H) or prepared as described in subsequent Schemes. Starting from protected amino esters such as I-1, the olefin may be reduced under hydrogenation conditions (e.g., Pd/C, H2). The resulting Boc-protected amine I-2 may then be deprotected using TFA, followed by subsequent acylation with a benzoic acid employing a variety of amide bond forming conditions (e.g., HATU or BOP—Cl, with DIEA) to furnish I-3. Ester I-3 could then be converted directly to examples of the general structure I by treatment with an appropriate amine and AlMe3. Alternatively, the sequence of amide bond forming reactions may be reversed starting with saponification of I-2 followed by treatment with T3P® and an appropriate amine to produce I-4. Deprotection and acylation according to the previously described conditions would then also yield Examples of the general structure I. In addition, the initial hydrogenation step may be delayed until any point in the sequence without altering the outcome of the steps described in Scheme 1.

Scheme II shows one method for the production of norbornyl analogs with substitution at the C7 position starting from II-1. Treatment of II-1 with malic anhydride furnished II-2, which was selectively hydrogenated and solvolyzed to produce II-3. Curtius reaction of II-3 with DPPA in the presence of trimethylsilanol led to the formation of II-4. Deprotection of the Teoc group under standard conditions led to the formation of amine II-5 which could be elaborated to Examples of the general structure II directly. Alternatively, structure II could be treated with ozone to furnish ketone II-6, which could in turn be functionalized via a variety of standard transformations including but not limited to organometallic addition (e.g., R—Li, R—MgBr), Wittig or Homer-Wadsworth Emmons (HWE) olefination, or acetal formation. These products could serve as Examples of the general structure I or II themselves, or alternatively could serve as intermediates for further elaboration. In addition, the ozonolysis step could be conducted earlier in the synthetic sequence for strategic reasons without altering the outcome of the synthetic steps outline in Scheme II.

Staring with II-4, the material was deprotonated with LDA and fluorinated with N-fluoro-bisbenezenesulfonimide, then subsequently elaborated to Examples of the general structure III according to the path outlined in Scheme I. Alternatively, III-1 could be treated with ozone similarly to as in Scheme II to furnish III-2.

Scheme IV demonstrates the preparation of a variety of diverse C-7 methylidene substituted norbornyl cores from a common intermediate bromide. II-4 was converted to IV-1 through standard Teoc-deprotection, TFA acylation procedure. Ester IV-1 was converted to amide IV-2 according to the AlMe3 procedure outlined in Scheme I and IV-2 was ozonolyzed to ketone IV-3 as in Scheme II. Wittig methylination furnished olefin IV-4, which was treated with bromine and KHMDS to furnish IV-5 and IV-6 as a mixture of isomers that was separated by silica gel chromatography. Isomer IV-6 was then subjected to chiral SFC purification to produce a single enanatiomer of IV, which was then deprotected to IV-7. Amine IV-7 could then be acylated according to the methods outlined in Scheme 1 to yield IV-8. Vinyl bromides may also be further functionalized (e.g., Suzuki, Negishi and Semmelhack reaction conditions, among others) which led to diverse Examples of the general structure IV or corresponding intermediates which could then be elaborated further. Alternatively, the vinyl bromide functionalization steps could be performed on the IV-6, and the resulting material processed similarly to Examples of the general structure IV.

Scheme VI describes the synthesis of bicyclic benzoates (Ar1=—Ar′—Ar″, where Ar″=substituted phenyl, heteroaryl, or heterocyclic olefin) for use in Schemes I-IV. Aryl bromides VI-1 (where R can be H, Me, Bn, tBu among others) were treated with aryl, heteroaryl, and heterocyclic vinyl boronic acids (or esters) VI-2, a palladium catalyst (e.g., Pd(PPh3)4, PdCl2(dppf), etc.), an appropriate base (e.g., Na2CO3, K3PO4, etc.) under Suzuki reaction conditions to furnish bicycle VI-3. Alternatively the coupling partners could be reversed, employing aryl boronic acid VI-4 and halide VI-5 under similar conditions to likewise yield VI-3. Where VI-3, R≠H, the benzoate could be cleaved employing saponification (e.g., LiOH, water for R=Me), acidic (e.g., TFA/DCM for R=tBu), or hydrogenolytic conditions (e.g., Pd/C, H2 for R=Bn) to furnish VI-6. Benzoic acid VI-6 could then be coupled to the norbornyl cores as is outlined in Schemes I-IV to furnish Examples of the general structures I or II or intermediates that could be further elaborated to Examples.

Alternatively, VII-2 could be prepared from VI-4 according to Chan-Evans-Lam conditions (e.g., Cu(OAc)2, TEA, O2 among others). Intermediates VII-2 could then be further functionalized in a similar manner to VI-3 in Scheme VI via ester cleavage where required and further manipulation according to Schemes I-IV either directly to Examples of the general structures I or II or to intermediates that could be further elaborated to Examples.

Scheme VIII illustrates a general route to mandelic acid-based biaryl analogs. Commercially available VIII-1 was converted to the t-butyl ester VIII-2, then brominated to furnish VIII-3. Displacement of the bromide with acetic acid furnished intermediate VIII-4, which was then subjected to a Suzuki reaction as was described in Scheme VI to furnish VIII-5 (acetate cleavage was concomitant with biaryl formation). The resulting acid was directly coupled to a norbornyl amine intermediate VIII-6 as was described in Scheme I to furnish VIII-7. The t-butyl ester VIII-7 could then be cleaved (TFA/DCM) to furnish Examples of the general structure VIIIa. Alternatively, the hydroxyl group in VIII-7 could be elaborated with either the appropriate isocyanate or a two-step carbamate forming protocol (e.g., nitrophenyl chloroformate, TEA, followed by an amine) to furnish VIII-8, which could then be cleaved (TFA/DCM) to furnish Examples of the general structure VIIIb.
