Xanthines in the 7th position with a benzyl acetic acid moiety

Description

The present invention relates to substituted xanthines, processes for their preparation and their use as medicaments, in particular as antiatherosclerotic medicaments.
It is known that raised blood levels of triglycerides (hypertriglyceridaemia) and cholesterol (hypercholesterolaemia) are associated with the genesis of atherosclerotic vascular wall changes and coronary heart diseases.
A distinctly increased risk of the development of coronary heart disorders is moreover present if these two risk factors occur in combination, accompanied, in turn, by an overproduction of apolipoprotein E-100. There is therefore still a great need to make available medicaments for the control of atherosclerosis and coronary heart diseases.

They can be used as active compounds in medicaments for the reduction of changes to vascular walls and for the treatment of coronary heart disorders, cardiac insufficiency, brain function disorders, ischaemic brain disorders, apoplexy, circulatory disorders, microcirculation disorders and thromboses.
The proliferation of smooth muscle cells furthermore plays a decisive part in the occlusion of vessels. The compounds according to the invention are suitable for inhibiting this proliferation and thus for preventing atherosclerotic processes.
The compounds according to the invention are distinguished by a lowering of ApoB-100-associated lipoproteins (VLDL and its degradation products, e.g. LDL), of ApoB-100, of triglycerides and of cholesterol. They thus have valuable and superior pharmacological properties in comparison with the prior art.
The action of the compounds according to the invention surprisingly consists first in a reduction or complete inhibition of the formation and/or of the release of ApoB-100-associated lipoproteins from liver cells, which results in a lowering of the VLDL plasma level. This VLDL-lowering must be accompanied by a lowering of the plasma levels of ApoB-100, LDL, triglycerides and of cholesterol; thus several of the abovementioned risk factors which are involved in vascular wall changes are simultaneously lowered.
The compounds according to the invention can therefore be employed for the prevention and treatment of atherosclerosis, obesity, pancreatitis and constipation.
1. INHIBITION OF THE RELEASE OF APOB-100-ASSOCIATED LIPOPROTEINS
The test for detecting inhibition of the release of ApoB-100-associated lipoproteins from liver cells was carried out in vitro using cultured liver cells, preferably using cells of the human line HepG2. These cells are grown under standard conditions in medium for the culture of eucaryotic cells, preferably in RPMI 1640 using 10% foetal calf serum. HepG2 cells synthesize and secrete into the culture supernatant ApoB-100-associated lipoprotein particles which in principle are synthesized in a similar manner to the VLDL and LDL particles which are to be found in the plasma.
These particles can be detected using an immunoassay for human LDL. This immunoassay is carried out using antibodies which have been induced in the rabbit against human LDL under standard conditions. The anti-LDL antibodies (rabbit anti-LDL-Ab) were purified by affinity chromatography on an immunosorbent using human LDL. These purified rabbit anti-LDL Ab are adsorbed on the surface of plastic. Expediently, this adsorption is carried out on the plastic surface of microtitre plates having 96 wells, preferably on MaxiSorp plates. If ApoB-100-associated particles are present in the supernatant of Hep-G2 cells, these can bind to the insolubilized rabbit anti-LDL Ab, and an immune complex is formed which is bound to the plastic surface. Unbound proteins are removed by washing. The immune complex located on the plastic surface is detected using monoclonal antibodies which have been induced against human LDL according to standard conditions and purified. These antibodies were conjugated with the enzyme peroxidase. Peroxidase converts the colourless substrate TMB into a coloured product in the presence of H.sub.2 O.sub.2. After acidification of the reaction mixture using H.sub.2 SO.sub.4, the specific light absorption at 450 mn is determined, which is a measure of the amount of ApoB-100-associated particles which have been secreted into the culture supernatant by the HepG2 cells.
Surprisingly, the compounds according to the invention inhibit the release of the ApoB-100-associated particles. The IC.sub.50 value indicates at which substance concentration the light absorption is inhibited by 50% in comparison with the control (solvent control without substance).

2. DETERMINATION OF VLDL SECRETION IN VIVO IN THE HAMSTER
The effects of the test substances on VLDL secretion in vivo is investigated in the hamster. To do this, golden hamsters are anaesthetized with Ketavet (83 mg/kg s.c.) and Nembutal (50 mg/kg i.p.) after premedication with atropine (83 mg/kg s.c.). When the animals have become reflex-free, the jugular vein is exposed and cannulated. 0.25 ml/kg of a 20% strength solution of Triton WR 1339 in physiological saline solution is then administered. This detergent inhibits the lipoprotein lipase and thus leads to an increase in the triglyceride level as a result of lack of catabolism of secreted VLDL particles. This triglyceride increase can be used as a measure of the VLDL secretion rate. Blood is taken from the animals before and one and two hours after administration of the detergent by puncture of the retroorbital venous plexus. The blood is incubated for two hours at room temperature, then overnight at 4.degree. C. in order to finish clotting completely. It is then centrifuged at 10,000 g for 5 minutes. The triglyceride concentration in the serum thus obtained is determined with the aid of a modified commercially available enzyme test (Merckotest.RTM. triglyceride No. 14354). 100 .mu.l of serum are mixed with 100 .mu.l of test reagent in 96-hole plates and incubated at room temperature for 10 minutes. The optical density is then determined at a wavelength of 492 nM in an automatic plate-reading apparatus (SLT spectra). Serum samples having too high a triglyceride concentration are diluted with physiological saline solution. The triglyceride concentration contained in the samples is determined with the aid of a standard curve measured in parallel. Test substances are administered in this model either intravenously immediately before administration of the detergent or orally or subcutaneously before initiation of the anaesthesia.

3. INHIBITION OF INTESTINAL TRIGLYCERIDE ABSORPTION IN VIVO (RATS)
The substances which are to be investigated for their triglyceride absorption-inhibiting action in vivo are administered orally to male Wistar rats having a body weight of between 170 and 230 g. For this purpose, the animals are divided into groups of 6 animals 18 hours before administration of the substance and the feed is then withdrawn from them. Drinking water is available to the animals ad libitum. The animals of the control groups receive an aqueous tragacanth suspension or a tragacanth suspension which contains olive oil. The tragacanth-olive oil suspension is prepared using an Ultra-Turrax. The substances to be investigated are suspended directly before substance administration in a corresponding tragacanth-olive oil suspension, also using an Ultra-Turrax.
Before stomach tube application, blood is taken from each rat by puncture of the retroorbital venous plexus to determine the basal serum triglyceride content. The tragacanth suspension, the tragacanth-olive oil suspensions without substance (control animals) and the substances suspended in a corresponding tragacanth-olive oil suspension are then administered to the fasting animals using a stomach tube. Further taking of blood for the determination of the postprandial serum triglyceride rise is carried out, as a rule, 1,2 and 3 hours after stomach tube application.
The blood samples are centrifuged and, after recovering the serum, the triglycerides are determined photometrically using an EPOS analyzer 5060 (Eppendorf Geratebau, Netheler & Hinz GmbH, Hamburg). The triglycerides are determined by fully enzymatic means using a commercially available UV test.
The postprandial serum triglyceride increase is determined by subtraction of the triglyceride preliminary value of each animal from its corresponding postprandial triglyceride concentrations (1,2 and 3 hours after administration).
The differences (in mmol/l) at each time 1, 2 and 3 hours) are averaged in the groups, and the average values of the serum triglyceride increase (.DELTA.TG) of the substance-treated animals are compared with the animals which only received the tragacanth-oil suspension.
Likewise, the serum triglyceride course of the control animals which received only tragacanth is calculated. The substance effect at each time (1, 2 or 3 hours) is determined as follows and given in .DELTA.% of the oil-loaded control. ##EQU1##
Effect of 10 mg of test substance/kg of body weight p.o. on the triglyceride increase (.DELTA.%) 2 h after a triglyceride loading in the serum of fasting rats. The serum triglyceride increase of fat-loaded control animals based on the serum triglyceride level of tragacanth control animals corresponds to 100%. n=6 animals per group.

Statistical assessment was carried out using student3 s t test after prior checking of the variances for homogeneity.
Substances which at one point statistically significantly (p<0.05) reduce the postprandial serum triglyceride increase by at least 30%, compared with the untreated control group, are regarded as pharmacologically active.
4. INHIBITION OF VLDL SECRETION IN VIVO (RAT)
The action of the test substances on VLDL secretion is also investigated in the rat. To do this, 500 mg/kg of body weight (2.5 ml/kg) of Triton WR-1339, dissolved in physiological saline solution, are administered to rats intravenously in the tail vein. Triton WR-1339 inhibits lipoprotein lipase and thus leads through inhibition of VLDL catabolism to an increase in the triglyceride and cholesterol level. These increases can be used as a measure of the VLDL secretion rate.
Blood is taken from the animals before and one and two hours after administration of the detergent by puncture of the retroorbital venous plexus. The blood is incubated at room temperature for 1 h for clotting and the serum is recovered by centrifugation at 10,000 g for 20 s. The triglycerides are then determined photometrically at a wavelength of 540 nm by means of a commercially available coupled enzyme test (Sigma Diagnostics.RTM., No. 339). Measurement is carried out with the aid of a likewise coupled enzyme test (Boehringer Mannheim.RTM., No. 1442350) at a wavelength of 546 nm. Samples with triglyceride or cholesterol concentrations which exceed the measuring range of the methods are diluted with physiological saline solution. The respective serum concentrations are determined with the aid of standard series measured in parallel. Test substances are administered orally, intravenously or subcutaneously immediately after the Triton injection.

The invention additionally relates to the combination of substituted xanthines of the general formula (I) with a glucosidase and/or amylase inhibitor for the treatment of familial hyperlipidaemias, obesity (adiposity) and diabetes mellitus. Glucosidase and/or amylase inhibitors in the context of the invention are, for example, acarbose, adiposine, voglibose, miglitol, emiglitate, MDL-25637, camiglibose, MDL-73945, tendamistat, AI-3688, trestatin, pradimilin-Q and salbostatin.
The combination of acarbose, miglitol, emiglitate or voglibose with one of the abovementioned compounds of the general formula (I) according to the invention is preferred.
The new active compounds can be converted in a known manner into the customary formulations, such as tablets, coated tablets, pills, granules, aerosols, syrups, emulsions, suspensions and solutions, using inert, non-toxic, pharmaceutically suitable excipients or solvents. In this context, the therapeutically active compound should in each case be present in a concentration of approximately 0.5 to 90% by weight of the total mixture, i.e. in amounts which are sufficient in order to achieve the dosage range indicated.
The formulations are prepared, for example, by extending the active compounds with solvents and/or excipients, if appropriate using emulsifiers and/or dispersants, where, for example, if water is used as a diluent organic solvents can optionally be used as auxiliary solvents.
Administration is carried out in a customary manner, preferably orally or parenterally, in particular perlingually or intravenously.
In the case of parenteral administration, solutions of the active compound can be employed using suitable liquid excipient materials.
In general, it has proved advantageous in the case of intravenous administration to administer amounts of approximately 0.001 to 1 mg/kg, preferably approximately 0.01 to 0.5 mg/kg of body weight to achieve effective results, and in the case of oral administration the dosage is approximately 0.01 to 20 mg/kg, preferably 0.1 to 10 mg/kg of body weight.
In spite of this, it may, if appropriate, be necessary to depart from the amounts mentioned, namely depending on the body weight or on the type of administration route, on the individual behaviour towards the medicament, the manner of its formulation and the time or interval at which administration takes place. Thus, in some cases it may be adequate to manage with less than the abovementioned minimum amounts, while in other cases the upper limit mentioned has to be exceeded. In the case of the administration of relatively large amounts, it may be advisable to divide these into several individual doses over the course of the day.

5.26 g (9.18 mmol) of the compound from Example 41 are dissolved in 50 ml of CH.sub.2 Cl.sub.2 and the solution is cooled to -78.degree. C. 45.9 ml (45.9 mmol; 1 molar in CH.sub.2 Cl.sub.2) of boron tribromide are slowly added to this. The mixture is subsequently stirred at room temperature for 2 hours. It is then cooled again to 0.degree. C. with an ice bath and treated with 50 ml of methanol. It is subsequently stirred overnight at room temperature. The solvent is evaporated using a rotary evaporator, and the residue is taken up in CH.sub.2 Cl.sub.2 and water and extracted. The organic phase is dried over sodium sulphate, in the course of which crystals precipitate out, which go into solution again with addition of a little methanol. The sodium sulphate is filtered off with suction and the mother liquor is concentrated in a rotary evaporator. The residue (crystals) is stirred in CH.sub.2 Cl.sub.2 and filtered off with suction.

0.40 g (0.648 mmol) of the compound from Example 167 is dissolved in 10 ml of methanol and 10 ml of acetic acid. A spatula tipful of palladium-carbon (10% strength) is added to this solution and it is hydrogenated for 4 hours under normal pressure. The mixture is filtered off with suction through Celite and concentrated in a rotary evaporator. The residue is taken up in CH.sub.2 Cl.sub.2 and water, adjusted to pH 8 with sodium hydrogen carbonate and extracted. The organic phase is dried over sodium sulphate and concentrated in a rotary evaporator. The residue is purified by column chromatography.
