THIENOPYRIMIDINE DERIVATIVES

Abstract

This invention provides thienopyrimidine derivatives of the formula,

Description

TECHNICAL FIELD

This invention relates to novel thienopyrimidine derivatives and salts thereof, which exhibit type 9 phosphodiesterase (PDE9)-inhibiting activity and are useful as treating agent of dysuria and the like.

BACKGROUND ART

Dysuria can be largely divided into emptying disorder due to inability to urinate with sufficient force at the time of emptying the bladder, and bladder-filling disorder due to inability to retain urine during the filling time. Presently, α₁ blocker is frequently used for treating the emptying disorder and anticholine agent, for treating bladder-filling disorder. These drugs, however, have such defects as insufficient long-term therapeutic effect or reduction in quality of life (QOL) induced by side effect, and development of drugs having new activity mechanism different from the conventional approach, for example, drugs utilizing potassium channel opening activity, cyclic guanosine-3′,5′-monophosphate (cGMP) degradation inhibiting activity, are in demand.

cGMP plays an important role in variegated cellular phenomena such as smooth muscle relaxation, memory and learning function control, photoreaction of retina, cell proliferation, immunoreaction and the like, and drop in intracellular cGMP concentration causes disorder in cell functions. Synthesis of cGMP by nitrogen monoxide (NO)-cGMP system and degradation of cGMP by PDE system are continually progressing in the cells each at a constant rate and good balance of the two are maintained in normal cells. Whereas, within the cells under various states of disorder, function of the NO-cGMP system lowers to render the cGMP synthesis level in the cells low. Because the cGMP degradation in the cells progresses at a fixed rate in the meantime, cGMP concentration in the affected cells becomes low. It is expected, therefore, prevention of cGMP degradation in the cells to redress the reduction in intracellular cGMP concentration would be useful for treating or preventing diseases.

While there are many types of PDE, those which specifically decompose cGMP are type 5 (PDE5), type 6 (PDE6) and type 9 (PDE9). Of these, PDE9 shows the least Km value (J. Biol. Chemistry, Vol. 273, No. 25, 15559-15564 (1998), has high affinity to cGMP and is considered to participate in degradation of cGMP with particular significance.

Heretofore, pyrazolopyrimidine derivatives are known as the compounds exhibiting PDE9-inhibiting activity, and as patent literature relating to the derivatives, for example, there are PCT International Publication WO 03/037432 Pamphlet disclosing their utility for treating insulin-resistant diseases, WO 03/037899 Pamphlet disclosing their utility for treating cardiovascular disorder, and WO 2004/018474 Pamphlet disclosing their utility for improving perception, learning and memory functions.

Whereas, thienopyrimidine derivatives having PDE9-inhibiting activity are heretofore entirely unknown, and there is no existing literature discussing relevancy between PDE9-inhibiting activity and therapeutic effect on dysuria.

Screening library of Ambinter Co. posts a thienopyrimidine derivative represented by the following formula:

but catalogues, pamphlets and the like materials issued by the same company give no information including activity on this compound.

DISCLOSURE OF THE INVENTION

The object of the present invention is to provide novel thienopyrimidine derivatives which have PDE9-inhibiting action and are useful as treating agent for disorders including dysuria.

We have discovered, after ardent research activities, that inhibition of PDE9 is effective for treating dysuria such as overactive bladder syndrome, pollakiuria, urinary incontinence, dysuria in benign prostatic hyperplasia and various diseases relating to urinary tract such as urolithiasis.

The hydrolysis of the ester at the 6-substituent on thionopyrimidine ring in the resulting compound of the formula (IV) can follow any method heretofore known per se, for example, by suspending or dissolving the compound of the formula (IV) in a mixed solvent of alcohol such as methanol, ethanol or the like with water, at temperatures within a range of 0° C.—refluxing temperature of the reaction mixture, preferably from room temperature to refluxing temperature of the reaction mixture, in the presence of alkali such as sodium hydroxide, potassium hydroxide, potassium carbonate or the like. The use ratio of the alkali to the compound of the formula (IV) is not critical, but the alkali can be generally used within a range of about 1-20 mols per mol of the compound of the formula (IV).

The N-alkylation reaction of the compound of the formula (IV) in the above method (b) can be performed, for example, by nucleophilic substitution reaction using alkyl halide (R²¹-Hal, wherein R²¹ and Hal have the previously defined significations).

Chem. Lett., 2002 (12) 1275-1278.

Furthermore, the compounds of the formula (V) which are used as the starting materials in the method (c) can be synthesized, for example, by amidation of the compounds of the formula (II) with carboxylic acid compounds of the formula,

PDE9-inhibiting activity, PDE5-inhibiting activity and improving action on pathological models of dysuria exhibited by the compounds of the formula (I), Compound A and their salts are demonstrated by the following experiments.

(1) Measurement of PDE9-Inhibiting Activity:

1) Preparation of Human Recombinant PDE9 Protein

Based on the base sequence of hsPDE9A1 registered with GenBank database (accession No.: AF048837), hsPDE9A1 fragment was amplified by polymerase chain reaction under the following conditions, using the following sequence (Amasham Pharmacia Biotech) as the primer and Human Prostate MATCHMAKER cDNA library (CLONTECH) as the template DNA, with Pfu Turbo DNA polymerase (STRATAGENE):

hPDE9-5A primer:
CTAGCTAGCCACCATGGGATCCGGCTCCTCC
hPDE9-3A primer:
TTTTCCTTTTGCGGCCGCTTATTAGGCACAGTCTCCTTCACTG

PCR condition: [95° C., 5 min]×1 cycle, [(95° C., 1 min), (58° C., 2 min), (72° C., 3 min)]×25 cycle, [72° C., 10 min]×1 cycle

Thus obtained hsPDE9A1 fragment was given a restricted enzymatic treatment with NheI and NotI, and thereafter inserted into pcDNA 3.1 (+) expression vector (Invitrogen) to let it serve as a human PDE9 expression vector.

Human PDE9 expression vector-transformed Escherichia coli was mass incubated to produce a large amount of PDE9 expression vector, which was transiently transfected into COS-1 cells, with LIPOFECTAMINE 2000 Reagent (GIBCO). The cells were homogenized in ice-cooled buffer A (40 mmol/L Tris-HCl, pH7.5, 15 mmol/L benzamidine; 15 mmol/L 2-mercaptoethanol; 1 μg/mL Pepstatin A, 1 μg/mL Leupeptin, 5 mmol/L EDTA) and centrifuged at 4° C., 14,000×g for 10 minutes. The supernatant was isolated to provide human recombinant PDE9 protein solution.

2) Measurement of PDE9-Inhibiting Activity

To 150 μL of buffer B (70 mmol/L Tris-HCl, pH7.5; 16.7 mmol/L MgCl₂, 33.3 nmol/L [³1-1]-cGMP) solution containing [³H]-cGMP (specific activity=244.2 GBq/mmol) at a concentration of 33.3 nmol/L, 50 μL of a solution of the compound to be evaluated (formed by dissolving the compound in DMSO and diluting it with distilled water to DMSO concentration of 5%) and 50 μL, of the PDE9 protein solution as prepared in the above, as diluted with buffer C (40 mmol/L Tris-HCl, pH7.5, 15 mmol/L benzamidine, 15 mmol/L 2-mercaptoethanol, 1 μg/mL Pepstatin A, 1 μg/mL Leupeptin) by 1,500×, were added under cooling with ice. This mixed solution was incubated at 30° C. for 30 minutes and the enzymatic reaction of PDE9 was terminated by heating the system in boiling water for 90 seconds. Returning the system to room temperature, 50 μL of Snake venom (SIGMA: 1 mg/mL) was added, followed by 10 minutes' incubation at 30° C., to convert the [³H]-5′-GMP produced in the previous reaction to [³H]-guanosine. This reaction solution was passed through a column filled with 1 mL of 0.5 mol/L hydrochloric acid-activated cation-exchange resin (Bio-Rad AG50W-X4 resin, mesh size 200-400) and removed of the unreacted substrate ([³H]-cGMP) by elution with 12 mL of distilled water. Thereafter [³H]-guanosine was eluted with 3 mL of 3 mol/L aqueous ammonia and its radiation activity was measured with liquid scintillation counter.

PDE9 inhibition of the tested compound can be calculated by the following formula:

$\left[\left(1-\frac{\mathrm{radiation}\mathrm{activity}\mathrm{where}\mathrm{test}\mathrm{compound}\mathrm{is}\mathrm{used}}{\mathrm{radiation}\mathrm{activity}\mathrm{in}\mathrm{control}\mathrm{test}}\right)\right]\times 100$

From the inhibition ratios at various concentration levels of each tested compound, its IC₅₀ value against PDE9 was determined. The results are shown in Table A given later.

(2) Measurement of PDE5-Inhibiting Activity:

1) Preparation of Human Recombinant PDE5 Protein

Based on the base sequence of hsPDE5A1 registered with GenBank database (accession No.: NM_—001083), hsPDE5A1 fragment was amplified by polymerase chain reaction under the following conditions, using the following sequence (SIGMA GENOSYS) as the primer and Human Prostate MATCHMAKER cDNA library (CLONTECH) as the template DNA, with KDD plus DNA polymerase (TOYOBO):

hPDE5-5′ E primer: CGGAATTCCAACCATGGAGCGGGC
hPDE5-3′ primer:   GCTCTAGATCAGTTCCGCTTGGCCTGG

PCR condition: [94° C., 2 min]×1 cycle, [(94° C., 30 sec), (65° C., 30 sec), (68° C., 3 min)]×25 cycle, [68° C., 6 min]×1 cycle

Thus obtained hsPDE5A1 fragment was given a restricted enzymatic treatment with XBaI and EcoRI, and thereafter inserted into pcDNA 3.1 (+) expression vector (Invitrogen) to let it serve as a human PDE5 expression vector.

Human PDE5 expression vector-transformed Escherichia coli was mass incubated to produce a large amount of PDE5 expression vector, which was transiently transfected into COS-1 cells, with LIPOFECTAMINE 2000 Reagent (GIBCO). The cells were homogenized in ice-cooled buffer A and centrifuged at 4° C., 14,000×g for 10 minutes. The supernatant was isolated to provide human recombinant PDE5 protein solution.

2) Measurement of PDE5-Inhibiting Activity

By a method similar to the measurement of PDE9-inhibiting activity, PDE5-inhibiting activity of the test compounds was measured, their inhibition was calculated and IC₅₀ value to PDE5 of each of the compounds was determined. The results are shown in the following Table A, concurrently with the compounds' IC₅₀ values against PDE9.

(3) Investigation of PDE9 Inhibitory Activity on Dysuria Pathological Model

Three to four weeks old female Hartley strain guinea pigs (Nippon SLC) were laparotomized under anesthesia with pentobarbital (30 mg/kg i.p.), and a polyethylene tube of 1.4 mm in width and 2.0 mm in inner diameter was placed in each guinea pig's urethra to the distal side by 1-2 mm from the bladder neck. After closing the incision, the guinea pigs were reared for at least 3 weeks to provide a model of urethral obstruction with the guinea pigs in which rise in intravesical pressure not accompanied by voiding (non-voiding contraction) and residual urine were induced.

The model was catheterized under anesthesia with urethane (1 g/kg i.p.) at the apex of urinary bladder and right jugular vein for cystometrography and intravenous administration, respectively. The other end of the bladder catheter was connected to a pressure transducer and infusion pump through three way stopcock. By means of the infusion pump, physiological saline was continuously infused into the bladder at a rate of 0.4 mL/min to induce micturition reflex. Immediately after the micturition reflex was induced, the physiological saline infusion into the bladder was stopped. The intravesical pressure at the time the micturition occurred was measured with the pressure transducer and the cystometrogram was recorded with pen recorder. The urine voided was collected with a disposable type weighing dish to measure its weight. Further the physiological saline remained in the bladder was sucked with syringe through the bladder catheter to measure the residual urine volume. Multiple operation cycles (normally 4 times) of suspending physiological saline infusion when micturition reflex was induced and resuming the infusion after about 1 minute to induce next micturition reflex, were repeated to stabilize the voiding response.

Thereafter either the compound solutions (solution of the compound in distilled water at a concentration of 3 mg/mL was diluted with physiological saline to 1, 0.3 or 0.1 mg/mL) or physiological saline, of a volume 10 mL/kg, was intravenously administered to the model over 4 minutes, during which the above cyclic operations were repeated from the initiation of the administration to 30 minutes after the administration, to measure the intravesical pressure, voided urine volume and residual urine volume. Also the frequency of non-voiding contraction occurred during the operations was measured. The respective mean values of frequency of non-voiding contraction and residual urine volume in the experiment using several guinea pigs are shown in the following Table B.

As shown in above Table B, compounds of the present invention also exhibit significant residual urine-reducing action.

Thus the thienopyrimidine derivatives represented by the formula (I) of the present invention and Compound A, or their salts can be administered as PDE9 inhibitor or PDE9 inhibitor concurrently exhibiting slight PDE5 inhibitory activity, for therapy or treatment of PDE9-associated diseases of human and other mammals, orally or parenterally (e.g., intramuscular injection, intravenous injection, rectal administration, percutaneous administration and the like).

The drugs of the present invention can be formulated, together with non-toxic excipients, any preparation forms such as solid (e.g., tablet, hard capsule, soft capsule, granule, powder, fine granule, pill, troche and the like); semi-solid (e.g., suppository, ointment and the like); or liquid (e.g., injection, emulsion, suspension, lotion, spray and the like).

These formulations may also contain other therapeutically useful drugs.

Content of a compound of the formula (IA) in these formulations differs depending on the preparation form and administration route, while generally it can be present at a concentration of 0.1-50 wt % in solid and semi-solid forms, and of 0.05-10 wt %, in liquid form.

Dosage of a compound of the formula (IA) is variable over a broad range according to the kind of warm-blooded animals including human to be treated, kind of involved disease, administration route, seriousness of symptoms, doctor's diagnosis and the like. Whereas, generally it can be within a range of 0.01-5 mg/kg per day, preferably 0.02-2 mg/kg per day, it being obviously possible to administer doses less than the above lower limit or more than the above upper limit, for example, according to individual patient's symptom and doctor's diagnosis. The dosage can be administered once a day or dividedly plural times per day.
