Sulfonamide and carboxamide derivatives and drugs containing the same as the active ingredient

FIELD OF TECHNOLOGY

[0001] This invention relates to sulfonamide and carboamide derivatives. More particularly, this invention relates to

[0002] (1) the compounds of the formula (1)

[0003] (wherein all symbols are as hereinafter defined:),

[0004] (2) processes for preparing them and

[0005] (3) Prostaglandin E2 (abbreviated as PGE2) antagonists or agonists which comprise them as an active ingredient.

BACKGROUND

[0006] PGE2 has been known as metabolite in the arachidonate cascade. It has been known that PGE2 causes uterine contraction, induction of pain, promotion of digestive peristalsis, awakening effect, vesica contraction, suppression of gastric acid secretion or reduction of blood pressure etc. The PGE2 antagonist or PGE2 agonist is expected to show the following actions.

[0007] To antagonize against PGE2 means to suppress the effects above mentioned, so such an activity is linked to inhibition of uterine contraction, analgesic action, inhibition of digestive peristalsis, induction of sleep or increase of vesical capacity. Therefore, PGE2 antagonists are considered to be useful for the prevention of abortion, as analgesics, as antidiarrheals, as sleep inducers or as agents for treating pollakiuria.

[0008] To show PGE2 agonistic activity means to promote the effects above mentioned, so such an activity is linked to uterine contraction, promotion of digestive peristalsis, suppression of gastric acid secretion or reduction of blood pressure or diuresis. Therefore, PGE2 agonists are considered to be useful as abortifacient, cathartic, antiulcer, anti-gastritis, antihypertensive or diuretic agents.

[0009] A lot of PGE2 agonists including PGE2 itself etc. have been known, but only a few compounds (PGE2 antagonists) possessing the inhibition of activity of PGE2 by antagonizing against PGE2 have been known.

[0010] For example, the patent applications relating to PGE antagonists are as follows:

[0011] In the specification of WO-96/03380, it is disclosed that the compounds of the formula (A)

[0012] (wherein A is phenyl which may be substituted etc., B is ring system which may be substituted, D is ring system which may be substituted, R1A is carboxyl etc., R2A is H, C1-6 alkyl etc., R3A is H, C1-4 alkyl, R4A is H, C1-4 alkyl (as excerpt).) are active as PGE antagonists.

[0013] In the specification of WO-96/06822, it is disclosed that the compounds of the formula (B)

[0014] (wherein A is ring system which may be substituted, B is hetero aryl ring which may be substituted or phenyl which may be substituted, D is ring system which may be substituted, X is (CHR4)n or (CHR4)pCR4═CR4 (CHR4)q, R1B is carboxyl etc., R3B is H, C1-4 alkyl, R4 is H, C1-4 alkyl (as excerpt).) are active as PGE antagonists.

[0015] In the specification of WO-96/11902, it is disclosed that the compounds of the formula (C)

[0016] (wherein A, B and D are various ring systems, R1C is carboxyl etc., R3C is H, C1-4 alkyl, Z is —(CH(R5))m etc. (as excerpt)) are active as PGE antagonists.

[0017] On the other hand, some compounds having a similar structure to the present invention compounds have been known.

[0018] For example, the following compound is described in Justus Liebigs Ann. Chem. (1909), 367, 133.

[0019] (wherein RD is H or ethyl.)

[0020] The following compound is described in Khim. Geterotsikl. Soedin (1974), (6), 760.

[0021] (wherein RE is phenethyl, benzyl, hexadecyl, decyl, nonyl, butyl, propyl, ethyl, methyl.)

[0022] The following compound is described in Khim. Geterotsikl. Soedin (1972), (10), 1341.

[0023] (wherein RF is nitro or methoxy.)

[0024] The following compound is described in Khim. Geterotsikl. Soedin (1972), (5), 616.

[0025] The following compound is described in Khim. Geterotsikl. Soedin (1976), (5), 641.

[0026] The following compound is described in Khim. Geterotsikl. Soedin (1971), (7), 1028.

[0027] The following compound is described in Khim. Geterotsikl. Soedin (1970), (12), 1597.

[0028] (wherein each RK is Br or Cl.)

[0029] The compounds of the formula (A), (B) and (C) in the related arts possess the same pharmacological activity as the present invention compounds. But there is a difference in structure as follows: The present invention compounds have sulfonamide or carboamide as an essential element in their structure. On the other hand, the compounds described in such related arts have ether or alkylene in the corresponding part. So, it is not easy to predict the present invention compounds from the structure of these related arts.

[0030] In addition, the compounds of the formula (D) to (K) relate to the study for synthesis only. In these literature, there is no description on pharmacological activity. The carboxyl group in such compounds is connected at the ortho position, so the present invention compounds are different from such compounds in structure. Therefore, it is not easy to predict the present invention from such compounds possessing the different activity and structure.

INDUSTRIAL AVAILABILITY

[0273] [Pharmacological Activity of the Present Invention Compounds]

[0274] The compounds of the present invention of the formula (I) can bind to the receptors of prostaglandin E2 and show antagonistic activity against the action thereof or agonistic activity, so they are useful as PGE2 antagonists or agonists.

[0275] As mentioned hereinbefore, to antagonize against PGE2 is linked to inhibition of uterine contraction, analgesic action, inhibition of digestive peristalsis, induction of sleep or increase of vesical capacity. Therefore, PGE2 antagonists are considered to be useful for the prevention of abortion, as analgesics, as antidiarrheals, as sleep inducers or as agents for treating pollakiuria.

[0276] As mentioned hereinbefore, to show PGE2 agonistic activity is linked to uterine contraction, promotion of digestive peristalsis, suppression of gastric acid secretion or reduction of blood pressure or diuresis. Therefore, PGE2 agonists are considered to be useful as abortifacient, cathartic, antiulcer, anti-gastritis, antihypertensive or diuretic agents.

[0277] For example, in standard laboratory test, it was confirmed that the compounds of the formula (I) of the present invention can bind to receptor of PGE2 (EP1 receptor) according to assay using expression cell of prostanoid receptor subtype.

[0278] (i) Binding Assay Using Expression Cell of Prostanoid Receptor Subtype

[0279] The preparation of membrane fraction was carried out according to the method of Sugimoto et al (J. Biol. Chem. 267, 6463-6466 (1992)), using expression CHO cell of prostanoid receptor subtype (mouse EP1).

[0280] The standard assay mixture contained membrane fraction (0.5 mg/ml), 3H-PGE2 in a final volume of 200 ml was incubated for 1 hour at room temperature. The reaction was terminated by addition of 3 ml of ice-cold buffer. The mixture was rapidly filtered through a glass filter (GF/B). The radioactivity associated with the filter was measured by liquid scintillation counting.

[0281] Kd and Bmax values were determined from Scatchard plots (Ann. N.Y. Acad. Sci., 51, 660 (1949)). Non-specific binding was calculated as the bond in the presence of an excess (2.5 nM) of unlabeled PGE2. In the experiment for competition of specific 3H-PGE2 binding by the compounds of the present invention, 3H-PGE2 was added at a concentration of 2.5 nM and the compound of the present invention was added at a concentration of 1 μM. The following buffer was used in all reaction.

[0282] Buffer: potassium phosphate (pH 6.0, 10 mM), EDTA (1 mM), MgCl2 (10 mM), NaCl (0.1M).

[0283] The dissociation constant Ki (μM) of each compound was calculated by the following equation.

Ki=IC50/(1+([C]/Kd))

[0284] The results were shown in Table 1.

[0287] [Application for Pharmaceuticals]

[0288] The compounds of the present invention of the formula (I) can bind to the receptors of prostaglandin E2 and show antagonistic activity against the action thereof or agonistic activity, so they are useful as PGE2 antagonists or agonists.

[0289] As mentioned hereinbefore, to antagonize against PGE2 is linked to inhibition of uterine contraction, analgesic action, inhibition of digestive peristalsis, induction of sleep or increase of vesical capacity. Therefore, PGE2 antagonists are considered to be useful for the prevention of abortion, as analgesics, as antidiarrheals, as sleep inducers or as agents for treating pollakiuria.

[0290] As mentioned hereinbefore, to show PGE2 agonistic activity is linked to uterine contraction, promotion of digestive peristalsis, suppression of gastric acid secretion or reduction of blood pressure or diuresis.
