Description

[0001] This application is a divisional of U.S. Ser. No. 12/050,227, filed Mar. 18, 2008, which is a divisional of U.S. Ser. No. 10/702,295, filed Nov. 6, 2003, now U.S. Pat. No. 7,384,937 issued on Jun. 10, 2008, which claims priority from U.S. provisional application Ser. No. 60/424,250 filed Nov. 6, 2002, the entirety of which are incorporated herein by reference.

FIELD OF THE INVENTION

[0002] The present invention relates to fused heterocylic compounds, pharmaceutical compositions containing these compounds, and the use of these compounds in the treatment of leukocyte activation-associated disorders.

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION

[0003] The immune system plays an important role in host defense. In the treatment of leukocyte activation-associated disorders is often desirable to attenuate the immune response. Such disorders include the immune response incurred by transplantation or diseases improved by decreased T-cell activation and proliferation. It is accepted that agents that inhibit T-cell proliferation may be useful in the treatment of the aforementioned disorders.

[0004] A number of agents demonstrate clinical or therapeutic utility by attenuating or modulating the immune system. Such agents include Cyclosporin A ("CsA"), azathioprine, tacrolimus, sirolimus and mycophenolate mofetil. However, these agents often demonstrate a relatively high incidence (25 to >50%) of multiple unique liabilities during clinical or therapeutic use. For example, CsA therapy is associated with nephrotoxicity, azathioprine therapy is associated with leukopenia, and tacrolimus therapy is associated with undesirable effects on the central nervous system. Also, sirolimus therapy is associated with hypertension, hyperlipidemia and hypercholesterolemia, and mycophenolate mofetil therapy is associated with diarrhea.

[0005] The overproduction of cytokines, such as TNF-.alpha., is also implicated in a wide variety of leukocyte activation-associated disorders, including rheumatoid arthritis (RA), psoriasis, multiple sclerosis, inflammatory bowel disease, endotoxin shock, osteoporosis, Alzheimer's disease and congestive heart failure, among others. See e.g., Henry et al., Drugs Fut., 24:1345-1354 (1999); Salituro et al., Curr. Med. Chem., 6:807-823 (1999). There is convincing evidence in human patients that cytokine protein antagonists can provide treatment for these disorders. See e.g., Rankin et al., Br. J. Rheumatol., 34:334-342 (1995) (monoclonal antibody to TNF-.alpha.--Enbrel.RTM.); and Moreland et al., Ann. Intern. Med., 130:478-486 (1999) (soluble TNF-.alpha. receptor-Fc fusion protein--etanercept). Accordingly, it is accepted that agents demonstrating TNF-.alpha. inhibitory activity are useful for the treatment of leukocyte activation-associated disorders.

[0006] As none of the current treatments provide complete relief of symptoms and are to often associated with various liabilities, new agents and improved methods for treating leukocyte activation-associated disorders are needed.

SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION

[0007] The present invention provides novel fused heterocyclic compounds of the following Formula (I), their enantiomers, diastereomers, and pharmaceutically acceptable salts, prodrugs and solvates thereof, for use in treating leukocyte activation-associated disorders:

[0095] "T-cell mediated diseases" refers to any disorder or disease state in which modulation of the activity of T-cells is implicated in a process which results in either a pathophysiological state or a process where the normal function of T-cells is intended to be suppressed for therapeutic benefit. Examples of T-cell mediated disorders include transplant rejection, graph verses host disease, and autoimmune disorders, such as rheumatoid arthritis, multiple sclerosis, juvenile diabetes, asthma, and inflammatory bowel disease, T-cell mediated hypersensitivity diseases, ischemic or reperfusion injury, and T-cell proliferative disorders. T-cell mediated diseases are included in the definition of "leukocyte activation-associated disorders" which is defined infra.

[0096] The compounds of Formula (I) in accordance with the present invention are employed, typically in the form of a pharmaceutical composition including a pharmaceutically acceptable carrier for the treatment of T-cell mediated disease. The compounds employed for this purpose are typically administered in an amount from about 0.01 to 100 mg/kg/day.

[0097] The pharmaceutical compositions comprising at least one compound of Formula (I) may be formulated, for example, by employing conventional solid or liquid vehicles or diluents, as well as pharmaceutical additives of a type appropriate to the mode of desired administration (for example, excipients, binders, preservatives, stabilizers, flavors, etc.) according to techniques such as those well known in the art of pharmaceutical formulation.

[0098] The compounds of Formula (I) may be administered by any suitable means, for example, orally, such as in the form of tablets, capsules, granules or powders; sublingually; buccally; parenterally, such as by subcutaneous, intravenous, intramuscular, or intrasternal injection or infusion techniques (e.g., as sterile injectable aqueous or non-aqueous solutions or suspensions); nasally such as by inhalation spray; topically, such as in the form of a cream or ointment; or rectally such as in the form of suppositories; in dosage unit formulations containing non-toxic, pharmaceutically acceptable vehicles or diluents. The present compounds may, for example, be administered in a form suitable for immediate release or extended release. Immediate release or extended release may be achieved by the use of suitable pharmaceutical compositions comprising the present compounds, or, particularly in the case of extended release, by the use of devices such as subcutaneous implants or osmotic pumps. The present compounds may also be administered in the form of liposomes.

[0099] Exemplary compositions for oral administration include suspensions which may contain, for example, microcrystalline cellulose for imparting bulk, alginic acid or sodium alginate as a suspending agent, methylcellulose as a viscosity enhancer, and sweeteners or flavoring agents such as those known in the art; and immediate release tablets which may contain, for example, microcrystalline cellulose, dicalcium phosphate, starch, magnesium stearate and/or lactose and/or other excipients, binders, extenders, disintegrants, diluents and lubricants such as those known in the art. The present compounds may also be delivered through the oral cavity by sublingual and/or buccal administration. Molded tablets, compressed tablets or freeze-dried tablets are exemplary forms which may be used. Exemplary compositions include those formulating the present compound(s) with fast dissolving diluents such as mannitol, lactose, sucrose and/or cyclodextrins. Also included in such formulations may be high molecular weight excipients such as celluloses (avicel) or polyethylene glycols (PEG). Such formulations may also include an excipient to aid mucosal adhesion such as hydroxy propyl cellulose (HPC), hydroxy propyl methyl cellulose (HPMC), sodium carboxy methyl cellulose (SCMC), maleic anhydride copolymer (e.g., Gantrez), and agents to control release such as polyacrylic copolymer (e.g., Carbopol 934).

[0104] The effective amount of a compound employed in the present invention may be determined by one of ordinary skill in the art, and includes exemplary dosage amounts for an adult human of from about 0.01 to 100 mg/kg of body weight of active compound per day, which may be administered in a single dose or in the form of individual divided doses, such as from 1 to 4 times per day. It will be understood that the specific dose level and frequency of dosage for any particular subject may be varied and will depend upon a variety of factors including the activity of the specific compound employed, the metabolic stability and length of action of that compound, the species, age, body weight, general health, sex and diet of the subject, the mode and time of administration, rate of excretion, drug combination, and severity of the particular condition. Preferred subjects for treatment include animals, most preferably mammalian species such as humans, and domestic animals such as dogs, cats and the like, subject to inflammatory, immunological, or respiratory cell-associated disorders.

[0105] Compounds of Formula (I) include salts, prodrugs and solvates. The term "salt(s)", as employed herein, denotes acidic and/or basic salts formed with inorganic and/or organic acids and bases. Zwitterions (internal or inner salts) are included within the term "salt(s)" as used herein (and may be formed, for example, where the R substituents comprise an acid moiety such as a carboxyl group). Also included herein are quaternary ammonium salts such as alkylammonium salts. Pharmaceutically acceptable (i.e., non-toxic, physiologically acceptable) salts are preferred, although other salts are useful, for example, in isolation or purification steps which may be employed during preparation. Salts of the compounds of the Formula (I) may be formed, for example, by reacting a compound I with an amount of acid or base, such as an equivalent amount, in a medium such as one in which the salt precipitates or in an aqueous medium followed by lyophilization.

Methods of Preparation

[0234] Compounds having the structure of Formula (I) may be prepared by reference to the methods illustrated in the following Schemes A through D. In particular, Schemes A1, A2, A3 and A4 depict various methods by which compounds of Formula (I) may be prepared. Scheme B illustrates the preparation of key intermediate 2-substituted malonates. Scheme C depicts a method by which amides of Formula (I) may be prepared from esters of Formula (I). Finally, schemes D1 and D2 outline the preparation of the intermediate guanidines.

[0235] One of skill in the art understands that any compound of Formula (I) may be produced by the above Schemes by the suitable selection of appropriate substitution. Solvents, temperatures, pressures, and other reaction conditions may readily be selected by one of ordinary skill in the art. All documents cited are incorporated herein by reference in their entirety. Starting materials are commercially available or readily prepared by one of ordinary skill in the art. Constituents of compounds are as defined herein or elsewhere in the specification.

[0236] Compounds within the scope of the present invention may be prepared by several methods. Compounds of formula II, III, or IV where Q is not a heteroatom is prepared as shown in Scheme A1. Guanidine A1.1 is heated in the presence of a base such as sodium ethoxide with an appropriate 2-substituted malonate A1.2 to produce intermediate A1.3 which upon reaction with phosphorous oxychloride at elevated temperature provides intermediate A1.4. Cleavage of the olefin by a two step protocol involving dihydroxylation with osmium tetraoxide in the presence of a co-oxidant such as N-methylmorpholine N-oxide to give intermediate A1.5 followed by reaction with either sodium periodate or lead(IV) acetate to provide intermediate A1.6. Reductive amination of A1.6 using sodium triacetoxyborohydride and acetic acid in THF with amine A1.7 results in spontaneous ring closure giving intermediate A1.8. Reaction with reagent A1.9, (an alcohol, a thiol or a sulfonamide) in the presence of a suitable base provides A 1.10 which is a compound described by Formula II, III, or IV.

##STR00023##

[0237] In the case of compounds of Formula II, III, or IV where Q is a heteroatom (Scheme A2), guanidine A1.1 is heated in the presence of a base such as sodium ethoxide with an appropriate 2-substituted malonate A2.1 to produce intermediate A2.2. Reaction of A2.2 with phosphorous oxychloride in the presence of a base at elevated temperature provides intermediate A2.3. Heating with amine A1.7 in the presence of a base such as triethylamine or Hunigs base in a solvent such as N-methyl pyrrolidone followed by hydrolysis with aqueous acid provides intermediate A2.4. A2.4 is then reduced with sodium cyanoborohydride in acetic acid to A2.5. Reaction with reagent A1.9, (an amine, alcohol, thiol or sulfonamide) in the presence of a suitable base provides compound A2.6 which is a compound of Formula II, III, or IV.

##STR00024##

[0238] For the preparation of lactams of Formula II, III, or IV where Q is not a heteroatom (Scheme A3), guanidine A1.1 is heated in the presence of a base such as sodium ethoxide with an appropriate 2-substituted malonate A3.1 to produce intermediate A3.2. Reaction of A3.2 with phosphorous oxychloride at elevated temperature provides intermediate A3.3 which is then heated with amine A1.7 in the presence of a base such as triethylamine or Hunigs base in a solvent such as N-methyl pyrrolidone. Reagent A1.9 (an amine, alcohol, thiol or sulfonamide) is then added directly to the "same pot" and heated to provide compound A3.3 which is described by Formula II, III, or IV.

##STR00025##

[0239] Alternatively, lactams of Formula II or IV where Q is a heteroatom (Scheme A4), can be prepared directly from intermediate A2.4 by reaction with an oxidant such as pyridinium dichromate (see Takano, et al., J. Chem. Soc., 2, 156-158 (1986)), manganese dioxide (see Nakatsuka et al., Tetrahedron Lett., 28, 3671-3674 (1987)) or Jones reagent (see Morales-Rios, et al., Tetrahedron, 52, 5339-5348 (1996)) to provide intermediate A4.1. Reaction with reagent A1.9, (an amine, alcohol, thiol or sulfonamide) in the presence of a suitable base provides compound A4.2.

##STR00026##

[0240] 2-Substituted malonates, AL2, A2.1, and A3.1, are either commercially available, or readily prepared by one of the methods outlined in Scheme B (entries 1-3) As depicted in Scheme B (entry 1), malonate esters, B1, can be alkylated at the 2-position with alkyl halides using bases such as sodium hydride or sodium alkoxide in solvents (including DMF or THF) to afford intermediates, B3. See e.g., Molander, et al., J. Am. Chem. Soc., 118, 4059-4071 (1996). As shown in Scheme B, (entry 2), 2-halo-malonate esters, B4, undergo displacement with nucleophiles including thiolates generated from the respective thiols by deprotonation with bases such as sodium ethoxide. See e.g., Aveta, et al., Gazz. Chim. Ital., 116, 649-652 (1996). It is well documented in the literature that sulfides such as intermediate B6 can be selectively oxidized either to the sulfoxide, B7, or sulfone, B8, with oxidants (including m-chloroperoxybenzoic acid) by careful regulation of experimental conditions such as temperature. See e.g., Fuj isawa, et al., Tetrahedron Lett., 25, 5083-5086 (1984); and Sutton, et al., Org. Lett., 2, 319-322 (2000). Additionally, as depicted in Scheme B (entry 3), 2-substituted malonates, B10, can be prepared by the reaction of diazomalonates with alcohols at elevated temperatures in solvents such as benzene, chloroform or toluene in the presence of transition metal catalysts, such as Rh(OAc).sub.2 dimer. See e.g., Connell, et al., Tetrahedron, 49, 5445-5460 (1993).

##STR00027##

[0241] Scheme C outlines the conversion of esters of Formula (I) to amides of Formula (I). Hydrolysis of the ester C1.1 under basic conditions (using e.g., sodium hydroxide) affords acid C2. Alternatively, one may use a protecting group (such as a tert-butyl or benzyl group as depicted in compounds C12 and C2.3, respectively) which will readily allow removal (for instance, by treatment with trifluoroacetic acid or reaction with hydrogen in the presence of a suitable catalyst such as palladum on carbon under elevated pressure) to produce acid C2. See e.g., Greene, Theodora W., et al., Protective Groups in Organic Synthesis, 3.sup.rd ed. Coupling of acid C2 via standard amide bond coupling techniques (EDCI/HOAt) with the appropriate amine, C3, gives the desired amid; C4.

##STR00028##

[0242] The appropriately substituted guanidines referred to in scheme A are either commercially available or readily prepared by a number of methods known to one skilled in the art of organic chemistry. As depicted in scheme D1, amines D1.1 may be reacted with a number of reagents, such as the commercially available 2-3,5-dimethylpyrazole-1-carboxamidine nitrate, D1.2, to provide the desired guanidine, D1.3.

##STR00029##

[0243] In some instances it is more convenient to prepare the intermediate guanidines as illustrated in Scheme D2. An alpha-haloketone, D2.1, is reacted with 2-imino-4-thiobiuret, D2.2, to provide guanidine salt D2.3, which is liberated by treatment with a basic resin, or sodium hydroxide, sodium methoxide, or an amine base to provide intermediate D2.4. Then, D2.4 can be further elaborated as described in Scheme A to provide compounds of Formula (I).
