Tris carbamic acid esters: inhibitors of cholesterol absorption

Description

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION
Cholesterol ester hydrolase and acyl-CoA cholesterol acyltransferase have been implicated in the reesterification and absorption of exogenous cholesterol. It has been demonstrated that removal of CEH from pancreatic juice results in an 80% reduction in the uptake of cholesterol into the bloodstream in rats �Hoisie, J. Biol. Chem. 260-264 (1987).! Furthermore, several lines of investigation have indicated that ACAT may play a key role in the intestinal absorption of cholesterol �DeVries et al., J. Med. Chem. 22, 1131(1986)!. The association between high serum cholesterol levels and coronary vascular disease is well documented; consequently compounds of this invention may be useful for treating atherosclerosis, familial hypercholesterolemia, hyperlipidemia, and like diseases.
SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION
This invention relates to novel carbamic acid esters of 4 to 8 membered azacycloalkanols, particularly 4-piperidinol, which inhibit absorption of cholesterol from the intestinal tract and have been shown to inhibit the enzymes, cholesterol ester hydrolase (CEH) and/or acyl-CoA cholesterol acyltransferase (ACAT). The novel CEH/ACAT inhibitors of this invention have the formula: ##STR3## wherein

In the above description of the novel compounds of this invention, the term alkyl encompasses branched as well as straight chain hydrocarbons; and the term alkenyl includes branched and straight chain alkenes having from 1 to 3 double bonds. The term "alkoxy" refers to the alkyl-O-- moiety. The number and position of substituents on an Ar.sup.1 or Ar.sup.2 group is governed by the size of the substituent and availability, either commercially or prepared by standard literature procedures and such limitations would be recognized by one skilled in the art of organic synthesis. In general, 1 to 3 substituents would be allowable with the exception of fluorine or chlorine where up to 5 fluorines or chlorines may be present as when the starting material for Z is pentafluorophenol. The term pharmaceutically acceptable salts encompasses acid addition salts that may be formed from a basic invention compound and a pharmaceutically acceptable inorganic or organic acid such as hydrochloric, sulfuric, phosphoric, acetic, maleic, fumaric, succinic, citric, tartaric, methanesulfonic acids and the like; a basic salt formed from an acidic invention compound and a pharmaceutically acceptable metal cation such as sodium, potassium, magnesium or calcium, the ammonium salt or an amine salt such as the triethylamine salt, or a quarternary salt formed from a basic invention compound and a pharmaceutically acceptable alkyl or aralkyl halide such as methylbromide or benzylbromide. The compounds of this invention may be recovered in the form of a solvate or hydrate. It is understood that the name of the compound itself emcompases these simple solvates.
DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION
The compounds of this invention are most conveniently prepared by reacting an intermediate hydroxy compound with phosgene or a phosgene equivalent followed by adding an appropriate amine or amine hydrochloride in the presence of a base in a suitable solvent. The preferred phosgene equivalent is 4-nitrophenyl chloroformate and the most suitable solvents are methylene chloride, chloroform and dimethylformamide. When convenient, an isocyanate or carbamoyl chloride can be prepared and reacted directly with the alcohol to give the desired carbamates (R.sup.4 .noteq.H) outlined in Scheme II. The preferred synthetic route is illustrated in Scheme I. ##STR16##
Preferred compounds of this invention are of formula 6 where p is 2, R.sup.1 and R.sup.2 are H, and the preferred compounds therefore have the following formula: ##STR17##
The preferred piperidine dicarbamate structure 8 is used to illustrate the use of an isocyanate to make the compounds of this invention. ##STR18##
Scheme III outlines a convenient synthetic method for preparing invention compounds 7 from a prepared common intermediate 14 where the moiety Z is to be varied. For illustrative purposes in Scheme III, A is --(CH.sub.2).sub.6 -- and NR.sup.4 R.sup.5 is 8-azaspiro�4,5!decane-8yl. Z may be activated by a variety of methods known in the art of organic sythesis. One such method is illustrated in Scheme III. Another method of activating Z is as its chloroformate as illustrated in Example 26. ##STR19##
In the above outlined synthetic procedures of Schemes I-III where a hydroxyl, amino, or carboxyl substituent is present and not utilized in the carbamate forming reactions, the hydroxyl, amino, or carboxyl group may be protected by a removable protecting group. The protected form is recommended where the hydroxyl, amino, or carboxyl group may otherwise undergo an undesired reaction. Protecting groups for hydroxyl, amino, or carboxyl groups are given in J. F. W. McOmie, Protective Groups in Organic Chemistry (Plenum Press, 1973) and T. W. Greene, Protective Groups in Organic Chemistry (John Wiley and Sons, 1981). The protecting group may be removed at a suitable later stage in the synthetic scheme during the course of synthesis of end products.
The following specific examples for the synthesis of intermediates and invention compounds are included for illustrative purposes only and are not to be construed as limiting to this disclosure in any way. Those skilled in the art will be aware of other methods of preparing compounds of this invention. The starting materials or intermediates are available commercially or can be prepared following standard literature procedures.

Thus, the representative compounds of this invention reduce absorption of cholesterol into the blood and thus can be used in the treatment of atherosclerosis, familial hypercholesterolemia, hyperlipidemia and like diseases where a reduction in cholesterol absorption is desired. The dosage requirement for therapeutic use of the antihypercholesterolemic agents of this invention will vary according to the particular compound chosen as well as the age of the patient and severity and nature of the disease being treated. Therapy should be initiated at lower doses, the dosage thereafter being increased, if necessary, to produce the desired effect. In general, the compounds of this invention are most desirably administered at a concentration that will generally afford effective results without causing any harmful or deleterious side effects. Based upon the in vivo potency of the representative anticholesterolemic agents of this invention as reported in the table, the initial dosing will be from about 0.5 to 6 mg/kg with a projected maximum dose of about 100 mg/kg. The preferred dosage range will be from about 1 to 50 mg/kg.
The compounds of formula (I) can be formulated into oral dosage forms such as tablets, capsules and the like. The compounds can be administered alone or by combining them with conventional carriers, such as magnesium carbonate, magnesium stearate, talc, sugar, lactose, pectin, dextrin, starch, gelatin, tragacanth, methylcellulose, sodium carboxymethylcellulose, low melting wax, cocoa butter and the like. Diluents, flavoring agents, solubilizers, lubricants, suspending agents, binders, tablet-disintegrating agents and the like may be employed. The compounds may be encapsulated with or without other carriers. In all cases, the proportion of active ingredients in said compositions both solid and liquid will be sufficient at last to impart the desired activity thereto on oral administration. The compounds may also be injected parenterally in which case they are used in the form of a sterile solution containing other solutes, for example, enough saline or glucose to make the solution isotonic.
