Description

The present invention relates to novel sulfonylamino-acetic acid derivatives of the general formula (I) and their use as pharmaceuticals. The invention also concerns related aspects including pharmaceutical compositions containing one or more compounds of formula I, and especially their use as orexin receptor antagonists.


The orexins (hypocretins) comprise two neuropeptides produced in the hypothalamus: the orexin A (OX-A) (a 33 aminoacid peptide) and the orexin B (OX-B) (a 28 aminoacid peptide) (Sakurai T. et al., Cell, 1998, 92, 573-585). Orexins are found to stimulate food consumption in rats suggesting a physiological role for these peptides as mediators in the central feedback mechanism that regulates feeding behavior (Sakurai T. et al., Cell, 1998, 92, 573-585). On the other hand, it was also proposed that orexins regulate states of sleep and wakefulness opening potentially novel therapeutic approaches for narcoleptic patients (Chemelli R. M. et al., Cell, 1999, 98, 437-451). Two orexin receptors have been cloned and characterized in mammals which belong to the G-protein coupled receptor superfamily (Sakurai T. et al., Cell, 1998, 92, 573-585), the orexin-1 receptor (OX1) which is selective for OX-A and the orexin-2 receptor (OX2) which is capable to bind OX-A as well as OX-B.


Orexin receptors are found in the mammalian host and may be responsible for many pathologies including, but not limited to, depression; anxiety; addictions; obsessive compulsive disorder; affective neurosis; depressive neurosis; anxiety neurosis; dysthymic disorder; behaviour disorder; mood disorder; sexual dysfunction; psychosexual dysfunction; schizophrenia; manic depression; delerium; dementia; severe mental retardation and dyskinesias such as Huntington's disease and Tourette syndrome; feeding disorders such as anorexia, bulimia, cachexia and obesity; diabetes; appetite/taste disorders; vomiting/nausea; asthma; cancer; Parkinson's disease; Cushing's syndrome/disease; basophil adenoma; prolactinoma; hyperprolactinemia; hypopituitarism; hypophysis tumor/adenoma; hypothalamic diseases; inflammatory bowel disease; gastric diskinesia; gastric ulcus; Froehlich's syndrome; adrenohypophysis disease; hypophysis disease; pituitary growth hormone; adrenohypophysis hypofunction; adrenohypophysis hyperfunction; hypothalamic hypogonadism; Kallman's syndrome (anosmia, hyposmia); functional or psychogenic amenorrhea; hypopituitarism; hypothalamic hypothyroidism; hypothalamic-adrenal dysfunction; idiopathic hyperprolactinemia; hypothalamic disorders of growth hormone deficiency; idiopathic growth deficiency; dwarfism; gigantism; acromegaly; disturbed biological and circadian rhythms; sleep disturbances associated with deseases such as neurological disorders, neuropathic pain and restless leg syndrome; heart and lung diseases, acute and congestive heart failure; hypotension; hypertension; urinary retention; osteoporosis; angina pectoris; myocardinal infarction; ischaemic or haemorrhagic stroke; subarachnoid haemorrhage; ulcers; allergies; benign prostatic hypertrophy; chronic renal failure; renal disease; impaired glucose tolerance; migraine; hyperalgesia; pain; enhanced or exaggerated sensitivity to pain such as hyperalgesia, causalgia, and allodynia; acute pain; burn pain; atypical facial pain; neuropathic pain; back pain; complex regional pain syndrome I and II; arthritic pain; sports injury pain; pain related to infection e.g. by HIV; post-chemotherapy pain; post-stroke pain; post-operative pain; neuralgia; conditions associated with visceral pain such as irritable bowel syndrome, migraine and angina; urinary bladder incontinence e.g. urge incontinence; tolerance to narcotics or withdrawal from narcotics; sleep disorders; sleep apnea; narcolepsy; insomnia; parasomnia; jet-lag syndrome; delayed or advanced sleep phase syndrome; sleep related dystonias; and neurodegerative disorders including nosological entities such as disinhibition-dementia-parkinsonism-amyotrophy complex; pallido-ponto-nigral degeneration epilepsy; seizure disorders including febrile seizures and other hyperthermia disorders; and other diseases related to orexin.


Up to now some low molecular weight compounds are known which have a potential to antagonise either specifically OX1 or OX2, or both receptors at the same time. In WO 99/09024, WO 99/58533, WO 00/47576, WO 00/47577 and WO 00/47580 formerly SmithKline Beecham reported phenylurea, phenylthiourea and cinnamide derivatives as OX1 selective antagonists. More recently WO 01/85693 from Banyu Pharmaceuticals has been published wherein N-acyltetrahydroisoquinoline derivatives are disclosed. 2-Amino-methylpiperidine derivatives (WO 01/96302), 3-aminomethyl-morpholine derivatives (WO 02/44172) and N-aroyl cyclic amines (WO 02/89800, WO 02/90355, WO 03/51368 and WO 03/51871) have been suggested by formerly SmithKline Beecham as orexin receptor antagonists. Related compounds are disclosed in WO 03/02559, WO 03/02561, WO 03/32991, WO 03/41711, WO 03/51872 and WO 03/51873. In WO 03/37847 formerly SmithKline Beecham reported benzamide derivatives as orexin receptor antagonists. International patent applications WO 01/68609 and WO 02/51838 disclose 1,2,3,4-tetrahydroisoquinoline and novel benzazepine derivatives as orexin receptor antagonists. The novel compounds of the present invention belong to an entirely different class of low molecular weight compounds as compared to all prior art orexin receptor antagonists so far published.


The present invention comprises sulfonylamino-acetic acid derivatives which are non-peptide antagonists of the human orexin receptors, in particular the human orexin-2 receptor. These compounds, therefore, are of potential use in the treatment of disturbed homeostasis and eating disorders (e.g. bulimia, obesity, food abuse, compulsive eating or irritable bowel syndrome), as well as disturbed sleep/wake schedule, sleep disorders (e.g. insomnias, apneas, dystonias) or stress-related diseases (e.g. anxiety, mood and blood pressure disorders) or any other disease related to orexin dysfunction.


WO 00/50391 discloses certain sulfonamide derivatives as modulators of the production of amyloid β-protein. WO 02/32864 discloses certain sulfanilide derivatives useful in the treatment of diseases mediated by oxytocin and/or vasopressin.


The present invention relates to novel sulfonylamino-acetic acid derivatives of the general formula (I).

The present invention encompasses physiologically usable or pharmaceutically acceptable salts of compounds of formula (I). This encompasses salts with physiologically compatible mineral acids such as hydrochloric acid, sulphuric or phosphoric acid; or with organic acids such as formic acid, methanesulphonic acid, acetic acid, trifluoroacetic acid, citric acid, fumaric acid, maleic acid, tartaric acid, succinic acid or salicylic acid and the like. The compounds of formula (I) which are acidic can also form salts with physiologically compatible bases.


Examples of such salts are alkali metal, alkali earth metal, ammonium and alkylammoniumsalts such as Na, K, Ca or tetraalkylammonium salt. The compounds of formula (I) can also be present in the form of a zwitterion.


The present invention encompasses also solvation complexes of compounds of general formula (I). The solvation can be effected in the course of the manufacturing process or can take place separately, e.g. as a consequence of hygroscopic properties of an initially anhydrous compound of general formula (I).


The present invention further encompasses different morphological forms, e.g. crystalline forms, of compounds of general formula (I) and their salts and solvation complexes. Particular heteromorphs may exhibit different dissolution properties, stability profiles, and the like, and are all included in the scope of the present invention.


The compounds of formula (I) might have one or several asymmetric centres and can be present in the form of optically pure enantiomers, mixtures of enantiomers such as, for example, racemates, optically pure diastereoisomers, mixtures of diastereoisomers, diastereoisomeric racemates or mixtures of diastereoisomeric racemates and the meso-forms.


Preferred compounds as described above have IC50 values below 100 nM, particularly preferred compounds have IC50 values below 20 nM which have been determined with the FLIPR (Fluorometric Imaging Plates Reader) method described in the beginning of the experimental section.


The compounds of formula (I) and their pharmaceutically usable salts can be used for the treatment of diseases or disorders where an antagonist of a human orexin receptor is required such as obesity, diabetes, prolactinoma, narcolepsy, insomnia, sleep apnea, parasomnia, depression, anxiety, addictions, schizophrenia and dementia or any other disease related to orexin dysfunction.


The compounds of formula (I) and their pharmaceutically usable salts are particularly useful for the treatment of disturbed homeostasis and eating disorders (e.g. bulimia, obesity, food abuse, compulsive eating or irritable bowel syndrome), as well as disturbed sleep/wake schedule, sleep disorders (e.g. insomnias, apneas, dystonias), stress-related diseases (e.g. anxiety, mood and blood pressure disorders), or any other disease related to orexin dysfunction.


The compounds of formula (I) and their pharmaceutically usable salts can be used as medicament (e.g. in the form of pharmaceutical preparations). The pharmaceutical preparations can be administered enterally, such as orally (e.g. in the form of tablets, coated tablets, dragées, hard and soft gelatine capsules, solutions, emulsions or suspensions), nasally (e.g. in the form of nasal sprays) or rectally (e.g. in the form of suppositories). However, the administration can also be effected parenterally, such as intramuscularly or intravenously (e.g. in the form of injection solutions), or topically, e.g. in the form of ointments, creams or oils.


The compounds of formula (I) and their pharmaceutically usable salts can be processed with pharmaceutically inert, inorganic or organic adjuvants for the production of tablets, coated tablets, dragées, and hard gelatine capsules. Lactose, corn starch or derivatives thereof, talc, stearic acid or its salts etc. can be used, for example, as such adjuvants for tablets, dragées, and hard gelatine capsules. Suitable adjuvants for soft gelatine capsules, are, for example, vegetable oils, waxes, fats, semi-solid substances and liquid polyols, etc. Suitable adjuvants for the production of solutions and syrups are, for example, water, polyols, saccharose, invert sugar, glucose, etc. Suitable adjuvants for injection solutions are, for example, water, alcohols, polyols, glycerol, vegetable oils, etc. Suitable adjuvants for suppositories are, for example, natural or hardened oils, waxes, fats, semi-solid or liquid polyols, etc.


Morever, the pharmaceutical preparations can contain preservatives, solubilizers, viscosity-increasing substances, stabilizers, wetting agents, emulsifiers, sweeteners, colorants, flavorants, salts for varying the osmotic pressure, buffers, masking agents or antioxidants. The compounds of formula (I) may also be used in combination with one or more other therapeutically useful substances. Examples are anorectic drugs like fenfluramine and related substances; lipase inhibitors like orlistat and related substances; antidepressants like fluoxetine and related substances; anxiolytics like alprazolam and related substances; sleep-inducers like zopiclone and related substances; or any other therapeutically useful substance.


The dosage of compounds of formula (I) can vary within wide limits depending on the disease to be controlled, the age and the individual condition of the patient and the mode of administration, and will, of course, be fitted to the individual requirements in each particular case. For adult patients a daily dosage of about 1 mg to 1000 mg, especially about 50 mg to about 500 mg, comes into consideration.


The pharmaceutical preparations conveniently contain about 1-500 mg, preferably 5-200 mg of a compound of formula (I).


The compounds of general formula (I) of the present invention are prepared according to the general sequence of reactions outlined in the schemes below, wherein A, B, R1, R2 are as defined in formula (I) above. As the case may be any compound obtained with one or more optically active carbon atom may be resolved into pure enantiomers or diastereomers, mixtures of enantiomers or diastereomers, diastereomeric racemates and the meso-forms in a manner known per se.


The compounds obtained may also be converted into a pharmaceutically acceptable salt thereof in a manner known per se.


The compounds of formula (I) may be prepared as single compounds or as libraries of compounds comprising at least 2, typically 5 to 200 compounds of formula (I). Compound libraries are prepared by multiple parallel synthesis using solution phase chemistry.


The compounds of formula (I) have been prepared by following one out of three possible synthetic pathways. The first pathway starts with the reaction of an amine B—NH2 with an α-bromoacetamide, which might be synthesised starting from bromoacetyl bromide and an amine NHR1(CH2R2) either in situ or separately. In a second step the respective aminoacetamide was reacted with a sulfonyl chloride A-SO2Cl (Scheme 1).

The second synthetic route starts with the reaction of an amine B—NH2 with a sulfonyl chloride A-SO2Cl. From the intermediate sulfonamides the target molecules can be obtained by reaction with the respective α-bromoacetamide (Scheme 2).




embedded image



In a third pathway a sulfonamide is synthesized starting from an amine B—NH2 and a sulfonyl chloride A-SO2Cl. The obtained sulfonamide is transformed to a t-butyl- or methyl acetate derivative by reaction with either tert-butyl bromoacetate or methyl bromoacetate.


The ester is hydrolyzed and the obtained acid is coupled with an amine NHR1(CH2R2) to give the desired amide (Scheme 3).

    I. Biology


    Determination of Orexin Receptor Antagonistic Activity



The Orexin receptor antagonistic activity of the compounds of formula (I) was determined in accordance with the following experimental method.


Experimental Method:


Intracellular Calcium Measurements


Chinese hamster ovary (CHO) cells expressing the human orexin-1 receptor and the human orexin-2 receptor, respectively, were grown in culture medium (Ham F-12 with L-Glutamine) containing 300 μg/ml G418, 100 U/ml penicillin, 100 μg/ml streptomycin and 10% inactivated foetal calf serum (FCS).


The cells were seeded at 80,000 cells/well into 96-well black clear bottom sterile plates (Costar) which had been precoated with 1% gelatine in Hanks' Balanced Salt Solution (HBSS). All reagents were from Gibco BRL.


The seeded plates were incubated overnight at 37° C. in 5% CO2.


Human orexin-A as an agonist was prepared as 1 mM stock solution in methanol:water (1:1), diluted in HBSS containing 0.1% bovine serum albumin (BSA) and 2 mM HEPES for use in the assay at a final concentration of 10 nM.


Antagonists were prepared as 10 mM stock solution in DMSO, then diluted in 96-well plates, first in DMSO, then in HBSS containing 0.1% bovine serum albumin (BSA) and 2 mM HEPES.


On the day of the assay, 100 μl of loading medium (HBSS containing 1% FCS, 2 mM HEPES, 5 mM probenecid (Sigma) and 3 μM of the fluorescent calcium indicator fluo-3 AM (1 mM stock solution in DMSO with 10% pluronic acid) (Molecular Probes) was added to each well.


The 96-well plates were incubated for 60 min at 37° C. in 5% CO2. The loading solution was then aspirated and cells were washed 3 times with 200 μl HBSS containing 2.5 mM probenecid, 0.1% BSA, 2 mM HEPES. 100 μl of that same buffer was left in each well. Within the Fluorescent Imaging Plate Reader (FLIPR, Molecular Devices), antagonists were added to the plate in a volume of 50 μl, incubated for 20 min and finally 100 μl of agonist was added. Fluorescence was measured for each well at 1 second intervals, and the height of each fluorescence peak was compared to the height of the fluorescence peak induced by 10 nM orexin-A with buffer in place of antagonist. For each antagonist, IC50 value (the concentration of compound needed to inhibit 50% of the agonistic response) was determined. Selected compounds are displayed in Table 1.

      E.2 Synthesis of sulfonylamino-acetic Acids Via methyl acetates (General Procedure):

    • A solution of the respective sulfonamide A—S(O)2NH—B (10.0 mmol) in DMSO (10.0 mL) was treated with solid potassium tert-butoxide (10.0 mmol). Methyl bromo-acetate (11.0 mmol, 1.0 mL) was added at RT and the reaction mixture was heated to 60° C. for 4 h. Water (40 mL) and ethyl acetate (40 mL) were added, the layers were separated and the aqueous layer was extracted twice with ethyl acetate (2×30 mL). The combined organic layers were washed with water (4×50 mL) and brine (50 mL) and the solvents were removed in vacuo.

    • A solution of NaOH (100 mmol) in water (50 mL) was added to a solution of the crude methyl acetate in methanol (500 mL) and stirred either at 60° C. for 1 h or at RT for 16 h. Hydrochloric acid (2.0 mol/L) was added to pH 7 and methanol was removed in vacuo. The aqueous layer was extracted with ethyl acetate (4×100 mL) and the combined organic layers were washed with brine (50 mL). The solvents were removed in vacuo and the residue was purified by preparative HPLC chromatography to give the following acetic acid derivatives:
