Description
TECHNICAL FIELD
[0001] The present disclosure relates to compounds, which are
useful for regulating the expression of apolipoprotein A-I
(ApoA-I), and their use, for the treatment and prevention of
cardiovascular disease and related disease states, including
cholesterol- or lipid-related disorders, such as, for example,
atherosclerosis.
BACKGROUND
[0002] Epidemiologic data demonstrate an inverse relationship
between circulating levels of high density lipoprotein cholesterol
(HDL-C) and the incidence of clinically significant
atherosclerosis. Each 1 mg/dl increment in the HDL-C serum level is
associated with a 2-3% decrement in cardiovascular risk; a 1%
reduction in LDL-C reduces coronary heart disease (CHD) risk by 2%
(Gordon et al. (1997) Am. J. Med. 62, 707-714). Experimental
evidence further supports the protective effect of HDL-C against
cardiovascular disease. For example, in subjects with low HDL-C,
administration of gemfibrozil results in a 6% increase in the HDL-C
level and a corresponding 22% reduction of the CHD risk (Rubins et
al. (1999) N. Engl. J. Med. 341, 410-418). Observations in genetic
disorders associated with low HDL-C due to reduced ApoA-I
expression, also indicate the link between elevated risk of CHD and
low HDL-C.
[0003] HDL-C appears to exert its anti-atherogenic effect by
mediating reverse cholesterol transport (RCT), in which cholesterol
is recruited from peripheral tissues and transported to the liver.
In addition, HDL-C also exerts anti-inflammatory and anti-oxidant
effects and promotes fibrinolysis. HDL-C particles protect against
oxidation of LDL, an important initial step in promoting
cholesterol uptake by arterial macrophages. HDL-C exists in two
main forms, one containing both apolipoprotein A-I (ApoA-I) and
apolipoprotein A-II (ApoA-III), and the other containing ApoA-I
without ApoA-II (Schultz et al. (1993) Nature 365, 762-764). The
cardioprotective effect of HDL-C is mostly, but not exclusively,
attributable to ApoA-I.
[0004] Clinical and experimental data suggest that the production
of ApoA-I is a critical determinant of circulating HDL-C. For
example, persons with familial hyperalphalipoproteinemia (elevated
ApoA-I) appear to be protected from atherosclerosis, while those
deficient in ApoA-I (hypoalphalipoproteinemia) show accelerated
cardiovascular disease. In addition, various experimental
manipulations to increase production of ApoA-I are associated with
reduced atherogenicity. For example, human ApoA-I is protective in
transgenic animal models (Shah et al. (1998) Circulation 97,
780-785; Rubin et al. (1991) Nature 353, 265-267), and treatment
with ApoA-I.sub.Milano prevents atherosclerotic lesions and leads
to regression of atherosclerotic plaques in human patients (Nissen
et al. (2003) JAMA 290, 2292-2300). Further lines of research
demonstrate that ApoA-I plays a role in enhancing reverse
cholesterol transport, attenuating oxidative stress, increasing
paraoxonase activity, enhancing anticoagulant activity, and
increasing anti-inflammatory activity (Andersson (1997) Curr. Opin.
Lipidol. 8, 225-228). Accordingly, ApoA-I is an attractive target
for therapeutic intervention.
[0005] Currently available therapeutic agents that increase the
plasma concentration of ApoA-I, for example, recombinant ApoA-I or
peptides that mimic ApoA-I, have potential drawbacks with respect
to, e.g., stability during storage, delivery of active product, and
in vivo half-life. Thus, small molecule compounds that up-regulate
the production of endogenous ApoA-I, such as, for example,
up-regulators of ApoA-I expression, would be very attractive as new
therapeutic agents for cardiovascular disease.
[0006] One class of compounds that are thought to contribute to the
prevention of various diseases, including cancer and cardiovascular
disease, is polyphenols. Polyphenols are present in most food and
beverages of plant origin and are the most abundant dietary
antioxidants (Scalbert & Williamson (2000) J. Nutr. 130,
2073S-2085S). However, the protective properties of polyphenols
have not been fully realized due to poor bioavailability (Manach et
al. (2005) Am. J. Clin. Nutr. 81, 230S-242S), lack of clinical
significance in various reported studies assessing them (Williamson
& Manach (2005) Am. J. Clin. Nutr. 81, 243S-255S), and
deleterious effects at higher dose concentrations. For example, an
abundant and available source of resveratrol, a well known stilbene
polyphenol, is red wine (Wu et. al. (2001) Int. J. Mol. Med. 8,
3-17). However, red wine cannot be consumed in therapeutically
efficacious quantities on a daily basis due to the numerous well
documented deleterious effects of excessive alcohol consumption.
The effects of resveratrol may be better or safer in the absence of
alcohol.
[0007] Several human clinical studies involving the anti-oxidant
effect of various polyphenols in various foods or beverages, have
failed to demonstrate an unequivocal benefit with respect to
primary clinical endpoints, such as oxidative stress, lipemia, and
inflammation (Williamson & Manach (2005) Am. J. Clin. Nutr. 81,
243S-255S). For example, out of twelve recent intervention studies
with differing polyphenol sources; six showed no effect on lipid
parameters and six showed an improvement in the lipid parameters
(Manach (2005) Curr. Opin. Lipidol. 16, 77-84). Such inconclusive
data has limited the potential use of polyphenols, despite their
many beneficial properties.
[0008] The use of naturally occurring polyphenols as potential
therapeutics has also been impeded by the inability to achieve
efficacious levels in the body, partly due to poor bioavailability
(Manach et al. (2005) Am. J. Clin. Nutr. 81, 230S-242S). The
bioavailability of any given polyphenol varies widely (from 1-26%)
in different individuals. This variability is also seen with
administration of different polyphenols to the same individual due
to differences in absorption, metabolism, and excretion rates. For
example, polyphenol flavonoids, such as quercetin, have been
reported to have less than 1% intestinal absorption following oral
administration (Gugler et al. (1975) Eur. J. Clin. Pharm. 9,
229-234). In addition, some polyphenol metabolites are known to
negatively influence the biological activity of the parent
compounds (Manach et al. (2005) Am. J. Clin. Nutr. 81, 230S-242S).
Such metabolites often differ from the parent compound in terms of
toxicity, efficacy, and length of residence in the plasma. Another
limiting factor is the poor solubility of many polyphenols that
limits the potential routes of administration. These and other
factors have made it difficult to determine appropriate dosages of
the naturally occurring polyphenols, naringenin or resveratrol, for
use in humans.
[0009] Thus, there exists a need for polyphenol-like compounds to
be developed as therapeutic agents for the treatment and prevention
of cardiovascular disease and related diseases, particularly,
cholesterol- or lipid-related disorders, such as, for example,
atherosclerosis. It is therefore one of the objects of the present
invention to provide compounds that up-regulate the expression of
ApoA-I. In addition, the compounds may have more favorable
pharmacological properties than naturally occurring
polyphenols.

[0095] The term "pharmaceutically acceptable carrier" as used
herein refers to any and all solvents, dispersion media, coatings,
isotonic and absorption delaying agents, and the like, that are
compatible with pharmaceutical administration. The use of such
media and agents for pharmaceutically active substances is well
known in the art. The compositions may also contain other active
compounds providing supplemental, additional, or enhanced
therapeutic functions.
[0096] The term "pharmaceutically acceptable composition" as used
herein refers to a composition comprising at least one compound as
disclosed herein formulated together with one or more
pharmaceutically acceptable carriers.
[0097] The term "pharmaceutically acceptable prodrugs" as used
herein represents those prodrugs of the compounds of the present
invention that are, within the scope of sound medical judgment,
suitable for use in contact with the tissues of humans and lower
animals without undue toxicity, irritation, allergic response,
commensurate with a reasonable benefit/risk ratio, and effective
for their intended use, as well as the zwitterionic forms, where
possible, of the compounds of the invention. A discussion is
provided in Higuchi et al., "Pro-drugs as Novel Delivery Systems,"
ACS Symposium Series, Vol. 14, and in Roche, E. B., ed.
Bioreversible Carriers in Drug Design, American Pharmaceutical
Association and Pergamon Press, 1987, both of which are
incorporated herein by reference.
[0098] The term "pharmaceutically acceptable salt(s)" refers to
salts of acidic or basic groups that may be present in compounds
used in the present compositions. Compounds included in the present
compositions that are basic in nature are capable of forming a wide
variety of salts with various inorganic and organic acids. The
acids that may be used to prepare pharmaceutically acceptable acid
addition salts of such basic compounds are those that form nontoxic
acid addition salts, i.e., salts containing pharmacologically
acceptable anions, including but not limited to sulfate, citrate,
matate, acetate, oxalate, chloride, bromide, iodide, nitrate,
sulfate, bisulfate, phosphate, acid phosphate, isonicotinate,
acetate, lactate, salicylate, citrate, tartrate, oleate, tannate,

included in the present compositions that include an amino moiety
may form pharmaceutically acceptable salts with various amino
acids, in addition to the acids mentioned above. Compounds included
in the present compositions that are acidic in nature are capable
of forming base salts with various pharmacologically acceptable
cations. Examples of such salts include alkali metal or alkaline
earth metal salts and, particularly, calcium, magnesium, sodium,
lithium, zinc, potassium, and iron salts.
[0099] The compounds of the disclosure may contain one or more
chiral centers and/or double bonds and, therefore, exist as
stereoisomers, such as geometric isomers, enantiomers or
diastereomers. The term "stereoisomers" when used herein consist of
all geometric isomers, enantiomers or diastereomers. These
compounds may be designated by the symbols "R" or "S," depending on
the configuration of substituents around the stereogenic carbon
atom. The present invention encompasses various stereoisomers of
these compounds and mixtures thereof. Stereoisomers include
enantiomers and diastereomers. Mixtures of enantiomers or
diastereomers may be designated "(.+-.)" in nomenclature, but the
skilled artisan will recognize that a structure may denote a chiral
center implicitly.
[0100] Individual stereoisomers of compounds of the present
invention can be prepared synthetically from commercially available
starting materials that contain asymmetric or stereogenic centers,
or by preparation of racemic mixtures followed by resolution
methods well known to those of ordinary skill in the art. These
methods of resolution are exemplified by (1) attachment of a
mixture of enantiomers to a chiral auxiliary, separation of the
resulting mixture of diastereomers by recrystallization or
chromatography and liberation of the optically pure product from
the auxiliary, (2) salt formation employing an optically active
resolving agent, or (3) direct separation of the mixture of optical
enantiomers on chiral chromatographic columns. Stereoisomeric
mixtures can also be resolved into their component stereoisomers by
well known methods, such as chiral-phase gas chromatography,
chiral-phase high performance liquid chromatography, crystallizing
the compound as a chiral salt complex, or crystallizing the
compound in a chiral solvent. Stereoisomers can also be obtained
from stereomerically-pure intermediates, reagents, and catalysts by
well known asymmetric synthetic methods.
[0101] Geometric isomers can also exist in the compounds of the
present invention. The present invention encompasses the various
geometric isomers and mixtures thereof resulting from the
arrangement of substituents around a carbon-carbon double bond or
arrangement of substituents around a carbocyclic ring. Substituents
around a carbon-carbon double bond are designated as being in the
"Z" or "E" configuration wherein the terms "Z" and "E" are used in
accordance with IUPAC standards. Unless otherwise specified,
structures depicting double bonds encompass both the E and Z
isomers.
[0102] Substituents around a carbon-carbon double bond
alternatively can be referred to as "cis" or "trans," where "cis"
represents substituents on the same side of the double bond and
"trans" represents substituents on opposite sides of the double
bond. The arrangement of substituents around a carbocyclic ring are
designated as "cis" or "trans." The term "cis" represents
substituents on the same side of the plane of the ring, and the
term "trans" represents substituents on opposite sides of the plane
of the ring. Mixtures of compounds wherein the substituents are
disposed on both the same and opposite sides of plane of the ring
are designated "cis/trans."

Pharmaceutical Formulations and Methods of Treatment
[0693] The present disclosure also provides pharmaceutical
compositions comprising compounds as disclosed herein, formulated
together with one or more pharmaceutically acceptable carriers.
These formulations include those suitable for oral, rectal,
topical, buccal and parenteral (e.g. subcutaneous, intramuscular,
intradermal, or intravenous) administration, although the most
suitable form of administration in any given case will depend on
the degree and severity of the condition being treated and on the
nature of the particular compound being used.
[0694] Formulations suitable for oral administration may be
presented in discrete units, such as capsules, cachets, lozenges,
or tablets, each containing a predetermined amount of the compound
as powder or granules; as a solution or a suspension in an aqueous
or non-aqueous liquid; or as an oil-in-water or water-in-oil
emulsion. As indicated, such formulations may be prepared by any
suitable method of pharmacy which includes the step of bringing
into association the active compound and the carrier or excipient
(which may constitute one or more accessory ingredients). The
carrier must be acceptable in the sense of being compatible with
the other ingredients of the formulation and must not be
deleterious to the recipient. The carrier may be a solid or a
liquid, or both, and may be formulated with the compound as a
unit-dose formulation, for example, a tablet, which may contain
from about 0.05% to about 95% by weight of the active compound.
Other pharmacologically active substances may also be present
including other compounds. The formulations of the invention may be
prepared by any of the well known techniques of pharmacy consisting
essentially of admixing the components.
[0695] For solid compositions, conventional nontoxic solid carriers
include, for example, pharmaceutical grades of mannitol, lactose,
starch, magnesium stearate, sodium saccharin, talc, cellulose,
glucose, sucrose, magnesium carbonate, and the like. Liquid
pharmacologically administrable compositions can, for example, be
prepared by dissolving, dispersing, etc., an active compound as
described herein and optional pharmaceutical adjuvants in an
excipient, such as, for example, water, saline, aqueous dextrose,
glycerol, ethanol, and the like, to thereby form a solution or
suspension. In general, suitable formulations may be prepared by
uniformly and intimately admixing the active compound with a liquid
or finely divided solid carrier, or both, and then, if necessary,
shaping the product. For example, a tablet may be prepared by
compressing or molding a powder or granules of the compound,
optionally with one or more accessory ingredients. Compressed
tablets may be prepared by compressing, in a suitable machine, the
compound in a free-flowing form, such as a powder or granules
optionally mixed with a binder, lubricant, inert diluent and/or
surface active/dispersing agent(s). Molded tablets may be made by
molding, in a suitable machine, the powdered compound moistened
with an inert liquid diluent.
[0696] Formulations suitable for buccal (sub-lingual)
administration include lozenges comprising a compound in a flavored
base, usually sucrose and acacia or tragacanth, and pastilles
comprising the compound in an inert base such as gelatin and
glycerin or sucrose and acacia.
[0697] Formulations of the present invention suitable for
parenteral administration comprise sterile aqueous preparations of
the compounds, which are approximately isotonic with the blood of
the intended recipient. These preparations are administered
intravenously, although administration may also be effected by
means of subcutaneous, intramuscular, or intradermal injection.
Such preparations may conveniently be prepared by admixing the
compound with water and rendering the resulting solution sterile
and isotonic with the blood. Injectable compositions according to
the invention may contain from about 0.1 to about 5% w/w of the
active compound.
[0698] Formulations suitable for rectal administration are
presented as unit-dose suppositories. These may be prepared by
admixing the compound with one or more conventional solid carriers,
for example, cocoa butter, and then shaping the resulting
mixture.
[0699] Formulations suitable for topical application to the skin
may take the form of an ointment, cream, lotion, paste, gel, spray,
aerosol, or oil. Carriers and excipients which may be used include
Vaseline, lanoline, polyethylene glycols, alcohols, and
combinations of two or more thereof. The active compound is
generally present at a concentration of from about 0.1% to about
15% w/w of the composition, for example, from about 0.5% to about
2%.
[0700] The amount of active compound administered may be dependent
on the subject being treated, the subject's weight, the manner of
administration and the judgment of the prescribing physician. For
example, a dosing schedule may involve the daily or semi-daily
administration of the encapsulated compound at a perceived dosage
of about 1 .mu.g to about 1000 mg. In another embodiment,
intermittent administration, such as on a monthly or yearly basis,
of a dose of the encapsulated compound may be employed.
Encapsulation facilitates access to the site of action and allows
the administration of the active ingredients simultaneously, in
theory producing a synergistic effect. In accordance with standard
dosing regimens, physicians will readily determine optimum dosages
and will be able to readily modify administration to achieve such
dosages.
[0701] A therapeutically effective amount of a compound or
composition disclosed herein can be measured by the therapeutic
effectiveness of the compound. The dosages, however, may be varied
depending upon the requirements of the patient, the severity of the
condition being treated, and the compound being used. In one
embodiment, the therapeutically effective amount of a disclosed
compound is sufficient to establish a maximal plasma concentration.
Preliminary doses as, for example, determined according to animal
tests, and the scaling of dosages for human administration is
performed according to art-accepted practices.
[0702] Toxicity and therapeutic efficacy can be determined by
standard pharmaceutical procedures in cell cultures or experimental
animals, e.g., for determining the LD.sub.50 (the dose lethal to
50% of the population) and the ED.sub.50 (the dose therapeutically
effective in 50% of the population). The dose ratio between toxic
and therapeutic effects is the therapeutic index and it can be
expressed as the ratio LD.sub.50/ED.sub.50. Compositions that
exhibit large therapeutic indices are preferable.
[0703] Data obtained from the cell culture assays or animal studies
can be used in formulating a range of dosage for use in humans.
Therapeutically effective dosages achieved in one animal model may
be converted for use in another animal, including humans, using
conversion factors known in the art (see, e.g., Freireich et al.,
Cancer Chemother. Reports 50(4):219-244 (1966) and Table 1 for
Equivalent Surface Area Dosage Factors).
TABLE-US-00001 TABLE 1 To: Mouse Rat Monkey Dog Human From: (20 g)

[0704] The therapeutically effective dosage (i.e. ED.sub.50) may
vary with the dosage form, route of administration, the subject's
age, condition, and sex, as well as the severity of the medical
condition in the subject. The dosage may be determined by a
physician and adjusted, as necessary, to suit observed effects of
the treatment.
[0705] In one embodiment, a compound as disclosed herein, or a
pharmaceutically acceptable salt or hydrate thereof, is
administered in combination with another therapeutic agent. The
other therapeutic agent can provide additive or synergistic value
relative to the administration of a compound of the present
invention alone. The therapeutic agent can be, for example, a
statin; a PPAR agonist, e.g., a thiazolidinedione or fibrate; a
niacin, a RVX, FXR or LXR agonist; a bile-acid reuptake inhibitor;
a cholesterol absorption inhibitor; a cholesterol synthesis
inhibitor; an ion-exchange resin; an antioxidant; an inhibitor of
AcylCoA cholesterol acyltransferase (ACAT inhibitor); a
tyrophostine; a sulfonylurea-based drug; a biguanide; an
alpha-glucosidase inhibitor; an apolipoprotein E regulator; a
HMG-CoA reductase inhibitor, a microsomal triglyceride transfer
protein; an LDL-lowing drug; an HDL-raising drug; an HDL enhancer;
a regulator of the apolipoprotein A-IV and/or apolipoprotein genes;
or any cardiovascular drug.
[0706] In one embodiment, a method of treating or preventing
cardiovascular disease, cholesterol- or lipid-related disorders,
comprises administering to a mammal (e.g., human) a therapeutically
effective amount of a disclosed compound. The disclosed compound
may be administered as a pharmaceutically acceptable composition,
comprising a disclosed compound and a pharmaceutically acceptable
carrier.
[0707] As used herein, the term "cardiovascular disease" refers to
diseases and disorders of the heart and circulatory system.

or ApoA-I to ApoB in the blood of a patient, comprising
administering to the patient a composition of the invention in an
amount effective to alter lipid metabolism.
[0709] One embodiment provides methods for elevating the levels of
ApoA-I associated molecules, such as HDL, in the blood of a mammal,
comprising administering to the mammal a composition comprising a
disclosed compound or composition in an amount effective to elevate
levels of ApoA-I and HDL associated proteins in the mammal.
[0710] In one embodiment, "treatment" or "treating" refers to an
amelioration of a disease or disorder, or at least one discernible
symptom thereof. In another embodiment, "treatment" or "treating"
refers to an amelioration of at least one measurable physical
parameter, not necessarily discernible by the patient. In another
embodiment, "treatment" or "treating" refers to inhibiting the
progression of a disease or disorder, either physically, e.g.,
stabilization of a discernible symptom, physiologically, e.g.,
stabilization of a physical parameter, or both. In yet another
embodiment, "treatment" or "treating" refers to delaying the onset
of a disease or disorder. For example, treating a cholesterol
disorder may comprise decreasing blood cholesterol levels.
[0711] One embodiment provides a compound for administration to a
patient, such as a human, as a preventative measure against
cardiovascular diseases, including-cholesterol- or lipid-related
disorders. As used herein, "prevention" or "preventing" refers to a
reduction of the risk of acquiring a given disease or disorder. An
additional aspect of the invention provides a method for prevention
of arteriosclerosis lesion development in a mammal, including the
development of new arteriosclerotic lesions. In another aspect, the
present invention provides a method for regressing arteriosclerosis
lesions.
[0712] In another embodiment, the present compositions are
administered as a preventative measure to a patient, such as a
human having a genetic predisposition to a cardiovascular disease,
including cholesterol- or lipid-related disorders, for example
familial hypercholeasterolemia, familial combined hyperlipidemia,
atherosclerosis, a dyslipidemia, a dyslipoproteinemia, or
Alzheimer's disease.
[0713] In another embodiment, the compositions of the invention are
administered as a preventative measure to a patient having a
non-genetic predisposition to a cardiovascular disease, including
cholesterol- or lipid-related disorders. Examples of such
non-genetic predispositions include, but are not limited to,
cardiac bypass surgery and percutaneous transluminal coronary
angioplasty, which often leads to restenosis, an accelerated form
of atherosclerosis; diabetes in women, which often leads to
polycystic ovarian disease; and cardiovascular disease, which often
leads to impotence.
[0714] Angioplasty and open heart surgery, such as coronary bypass
surgery, may be required to treat cardiovascular diseases, such as
atherosclerosis. These surgical procedures entail using invasive
surgical devices and/or implants, and are associated with a high
risk of restenosis and thrombosis. Accordingly, the compounds of
the invention may be used as coatings on surgical devices (e.g.,
catheters) and implants (e.g., stents) to reduce the risk of
restenosis and thrombosis associated with invasive procedures used
in the treatment of cardiovascular diseases.
[0715] In another embodiment, the present compositions may be used
for the prevention of one disease or disorder and concurrently
treating another (e.g., prevention of polycystic ovarian disease
while treating diabetes; prevention of impotence while treating a
cardiovascular disease).
[0716] Diseases and conditions associated with "diabetes mellitus"
as defined herein refer to chronic metabolic disorder(s) caused by
absolute or relative insulin deficiency including, but not limited
to hyperglycemia, hyperinsulinemia, hyperlipidemia, insulin
resistance, impaired glucose metabolism, obesity, diabetic
retinopathy, macular degeneration, cataracts, diabetic nephropathy,
glomerulosclerosis, diabetic neuropathy, erectile dysfunction,
premenstrual syndrome, vascular restenosis, ulcerative colitis,
skin and connective tissue disorders, foot ulcerations, metabolic
acidosis, arthritis, osteoporosis and impaired glucose
tolerance.

heated to 70-72.degree. C. for 1 h and then cooled to room
temperature. The solid was filtered off and washed with dimethyl
carbonate/cyclohexane (1:1, 20 mL). The solid was dried in vacuo to
obtain pure material (6.13 g, 66%). To a mixture of the sulfonic
acid (product from above, 4.65 g, 20 mmol) and triethyl amine (2.03
g, 2.79 mL) in acetone (40 mL) was added
2,4,6-trichloro-1,3,5-triazine (cyanuric chloride, 3.69 g, 20
mmol). The reaction mixture was heated under reflux for 20 h before
being cooled to room temperature. The solution was passed through a
Celite pad and evaporated in vacuo to leave a solid, which was
filtered off and washed with hexane. The mixture of product and
salt of cyanuric hydroxide and triethyl amine (7.58 g) was used for
the next step without further purification.
[0761] To a 3-necked, round-bottomed flask, equipped with a
condenser (acetone-dry ice cooling), was added the mixture from the
step above (7.58 g) and acetone (100 mL). The reaction mixture was
cooled to -78.degree. C. and ammonia gas was bubbled through the
solution for 0.5 h. The reaction mixture was kept standing
overnight, allowing slow evaporation of ammonia gas, followed by
the evaporation of solvent. Water was added and the product was
extracted with DCM. The solvent was dried and evaporated to leave a
mixture of solid and a dense liquid. The solid was filtered off and
washed with hexane to leave pure sulfonamide (3.23 g, 70%).
[0762] To a round-bottomed flask was added
3,5-dimethyl-4-hydroxybenzoic acid (2.99 g, 18 mmol). Anhydrous DMF
(20 mL) was added, followed by sodium hydride (1.8 g, 45 mmol). The
reaction mixture was stirred at room temperature for 1 h.
p-Methoxybenzyl chloride (6.20 g, 39.6 mmol) was added and the
mixture was stirred at room temperature overnight (.about.20 h).
The reaction mixture was poured into water, acidified with 1 N HCl
and stirred for 1 h. The precipitated solid was filtered off,
washed with water and hexane to obtain pure B-ring building block
(6.93 g, 95%).
[0763] The B-ring building block (6.93 g, 17.1 mmol) was dissolved
in a mixture of methanol (50 mL) and tetrahydrofuran (50 mL).
Potassium hydroxide (1.25 g, 22.2 mmol) in water (20 mL) was added.
The reaction mixture was refluxed at 70.degree. C. for 24 h. The
solvent was evaporated in vacuo. Water was added and the reaction
mixture was acidified with 1 N HCl (pH 4-5). The solid was filtered
off, washed with water and hexane. The yield was 4.61 g (94%). The
product (1.932 g, 6.75 mmol) and the sulfonamide from above (1.04
g, 4.5 mmol) were taken in a 3-necked, round-bottomed flask under
nitrogen. Dichloromethane (100 mL) was added with stirring. To this
stirred mixture was added
N-(3-dimethylaminopropyl)-N'-ethylcarbodiimide hydrochloride (EDCl.
HCl, 1.36 g, 7.09 mmol), followed by N,N-dimethylaminopyridine
(2.06 g, 16.9 mmol). The reaction mixture was stirred at room
temperature for 24 h before being washed with 1 N HCl, 2.5% NaOH
and saturated sodium bicarbonate solutions. The organic layers were
dried and evaporated in vacuo to leave a residue, which was
purified by silica gel (100 g) column chromatography, employing
20-50% ethyl acetate in hexane and 5% methanol in dichloromethane
as eluents. Fractions 30-66 were combined to obtain pure materials
(1.35 g, 60%). The compound from the step above (0.105 g, 0.21
mmol) was dissolved in tetrahydrofuran under nitrogen and cooled to
-78.degree. C. n-Butyllithium was added and the reaction mixture
was allowed to warm to room temperature slowly and stirred
overnight (.about.14 h). TLC showed incomplete conversion. The
reaction mixture was quenched with saturated ammonium chloride
solution and extracted with ethyl acetate. The solvent was
evaporated in vacuo to leave a residue that was purified by silica
gel (15 g) column chromatography, employing 20-50% ethyl acetate in
hexane as eluents. The product was not pure enough, so another
column was used, employing 0.5% methanol in hexane as eluent, and
finally preparative TLC was employed to purify the material. The
compound from the step above (0.277 g) was dissolved in
trifluoroacetic acid (10 mL) under nitrogen and the reaction
mixture was refluxed (bath temperature 80.degree. C.) for 4 d. The
solvent was evaporated in vacuo and the residue was dissolved in
0.25 N NaOH (20 mL), and acidified with acetic acid. The solid had
precipitated out at this point. The solid was filtered off and
washed with water, hexane and dried. From one batch, 0.005 g of

Quantification of ApoA-I mRNA
[1002] In this example, ApoA-I mRNA in tissue culture cells was
quantitated to measure the transcriptional up-regulation of ApoA-I
when treated with a compound of the invention.
[1003] HepG2 cells (.about.2.times.10.sup.5 per well) were placed
in a 24-well plate in .about.400 .mu.L MEM, supplemented with 0.5%
(v/v) FBS, 24 h before addition of the compound of interest. At
time of harvesting, the spent media was removed from the HepG2
cells and immediately placed on ice (for immediate use) or at
-80.degree. C. (for future use) in ApoA-I and albumin ELISAs. The
cells remaining in the plate wells were rinsed in 200 .mu.L PBS.
PBS was carefully removed to avoid removing any loosely attached
cells.
[1004] Once the PBS was removed, 85 .mu.L cell lysis solution was
added the cells in each well and incubated for 5-10 min at room
temperature, to allow for complete cell lysis and detachment. mRNA
was then prepared using the "mRNA Catcher PLUS plate" from
Invitrogen, according to the protocol supplied. After the last
wash, as much wash buffer as possible was aspirated without
allowing the wells to dry. Elution Buffer (E3, 80 .mu.L) was then
added to each well. mRNA was then eluted by incubating the mRNA
Catcher PLUS plate with Elution Buffer for 5 min at 68.degree. C.
and then immediately placing the plate on ice.
[1005] The eluted mRNA isolated was then used in a one-step
real-time room temperature-PCR reaction, using components of the
Ultra Sense Kit together with Applied Biosystems primer-probe
mixes. Real-time PCR data was analyzed, using the Ct values, to
determine the fold induction of each unknown sample, relative to
the control (that is, relative to the control for each independent
DMSO concentration).
[1006] An active compound is one that causes a >15% increase in
ApoA-I mRNA at a concentration less than or equal to 100 uM.

ApoA-I mRNA and Protein Induction
[1007] In this example, ApoA-I mRNA and secreted protein from
tissue culture cells were quantitated. The assay can be used to
determine the potency for compounds of interest, including those of
the present invention.
[1008] HepG2 cells or primary human hepatocytes (BD Gentest, lot
107) (.about.2.times.10.sup.5 per well) were placed in a 24-well
plate in .about.400 .mu.L MEM, supplemented with 0.5% (v/v) FBS, 24
h before addition of the compound of interest. The compounds of
interest were dissolved in DMSO at 0.05% (v/v). Appropriate volumes
of the stock solutions of the compounds in DMSO were then added to
appropriate volumes of MEM, supplemented with 0.5% (v/v) FBS, to
achieve the desired concentration (for example, 1 .mu.L of a
compound stock into 1 mL of MEM, supplemented with 0.5% (v/v)
FBS).
[1009] Just prior to compound addition to the cells, the growth
media was aspirated and replaced with 300 .mu.L of fresh MEM,
supplemented with 0.5% (v/v) FBS, followed by addition of 300 .mu.L
of the compound of interest in MEM, supplemented with 0.5% (v/v)
FBS, to achieve the desired final compound concentration in a total
volume of 600 .mu.L. The final concentration of diluent (DMSO) was
0.05% (v/v).
[1010] Cells were incubated for the desired time. The cell media
was then harvested, as were the cells. ApoA-I mRNA was measured as
described in Example 119. Secreted ApoA-I was measured using an
ApoA-I ELISA, as described below:
[1011] ApoA-I ELISA
[1012] In this example, the ApoA-I secreted into the media from
tissue culture cells was quantitated to assess induction of
endogenous ApoA-I protein secretion from cells treated with various
small molecule compounds, such as those of the present
invention.
[1013] At time of harvesting, spent media from the HepG2 cell
cultures or primary cell culture was removed and stored at
-80.degree. C. in 1.5 mL microfuge tubes.
[1014] For the human ApoA-I ELISA, an ELISA plate was coated with
.about.100 .mu.L/well human ApoA-I capture antibody diluted to
.about.2 .mu.g/mL in coating buffer for .about.1 h at room
temperature. The plate was then washed three times in wash buffer.
The plate was then blocked with .about.200 .mu.L/well human ApoA-I
blocking buffer for at least .about.30 min at room temperature.
[1015] Samples for use in generating a standard curve were prepared
from spent media (MEM, supplemented with 0.5% (v/v) FBS) from HepG2
or primary cells treated with DMSO for 48 h. Serial 2 fold
dilutions of the media were prepared in MEM, supplemented with 0.5%
(v/v) FBS. The unknown samples--from the cultures treated with the
compounds of interest--were also diluted in MEM, supplemented with
0.5% (v/v) FBS. The plate was washed three times in wash buffer.
The standard curve and unknown samples (100 .mu.L/well), in
triplicate, were added to the plate and it was incubated for 1.5 h
at room temperature.
[1016] The plate was washed three times in wash buffer. Human
ApoA-I detection antibody, diluted 1:1000 in PBS, was added (100
.mu.L/well) and the plate was incubated for 1 h at room
temperature. The plate was washed three times in wash buffer.
[1017] Goat anti-rabbit IgG H & L chain specific peroxidase
conjugate, diluted 1:2000 in PBS, was added (100 .mu.L/well) and
the plate was incubated for 40 min at room temperature in the dark.
The plate was washed six times in wash buffer.
[1018] TMB liquid substrate was added (100 .mu.L/well) and the
plate was incubated on a shaker underneath tin foil during
development. Once a sufficient "blue" color had been achieved, stop
solution (50 .mu.L/well, 1 M H.sub.2SO.sub.4) was added and mixed
thoroughly on the plate shaker. Air bubbles were removed and the
absorbance at 450 nm was determined, using a Molecular Devices
SpectraMax 190 Plate Reader and the human ApoA-I ELISA Softmax
software.

In Vivo Efficacy
[1021] To test whether the efficacy of compounds of the invention
observed in vitro extended to an in vivo model, transgenic mice
carrying multiple copies of the human ApoA-I gene (Bisaha et al.
(1995) J. Biol. Chem. 34, 19979-88) or wild-type mice (C57BL/6
(Stock Number 000664) Jackson Laboratory (Bar Harbor, Me.)) were
exposed to compounds of the invention. In the transgenic mice, the
exogenous human ApoA-I gene in these mice enables them to express
the human ApoA-I protein under the control of its own promoter.
[1022] Seven to eight week old male mice were housed five per cage
(10''.times.20''.times.8'' with aspen chip bedding) with pelleted
Rodent chow [Purina 5001] and water available at all times. After
an acclimation period of 1 week, animals were individually
identified by numbering on tail and weighed. Mice were pre bled via
the retro-orbital plexus, and 100 .mu.L of blood was collected in
1.5 mL Eppendorf tube containing 5 .mu.L of 0.5 mM EDTA and chilled
on ice. Plasma was collected after centrifuging the whole blood at
14000 rpm [TOMY high speed micro-refrigerated centrifuge NTX-150]
for 10 min at 4.degree. C. and frozen at -80.degree. C. Mice were
grouped based on having an average body weight of 25 g.
[1023] A day following pre-bleed, mice were dosed by oral gavage or
i.p. daily using a 20 gauge, 11/2'' curved disposable feeding
needle (Popper & Sons); when B.I.D., mice were gavaged morning
and afternoon (8 am and 5 .mu.m); when Q.D. mice were gavaged in
morning (8 am). Compounds were prepared each day in vehicle. One
day prior to necropsy mice were weighed and fasted overnight. On
final day of dosing, mice were sacrificed post 2 h of dosing by
inhalation of CO.sub.2 and blood was obtained via cardiac puncture
(0.7-1.0 mL). Plasma was collected and frozen at -80.degree. C.
Samples were assayed for ApoA-I by ELISA, and HDL-C by HPLC
(Polaris 200 with an auto sampler Prostar 410 from Varian on a
Superose 6 10/30 column from Amersham). During necropsy, liver and
enterocytes from the duodenum and jejunum of the small intestine
were collected, cleaned with cold PBS and frozen at -80.degree. C.
for further analysis of compound and mRNA levels by Q-PCR.
Experiment A
[1024]
2-(4-(2-hydroxyethoxy)-3,5-dimethylphenyl)-5,7-dimethoxyquinazolin--
4(3H)-one (10, 30 and 60 mg/kg of body weight, mpk) were BID
administered to hApoA-I transgenic mice daily for seven days by
oral gavage in 1% DMSO, 2.5% Tween-80, 10% PEG-300 QS to water.
Plasma was assayed for ApoA-I (FIG. 3), and HDL cholesterol (FIG.
4).
Experiment B
[1025]
2-(4-(2-hydroxyethoxy)-3,5-dimethylphenyl)-5,7-dimethoxyquinazolin--
4(3H)-one (10, 30 and 60 mg/kg of body weight) were BID
administered to wild type C57BL/6 mice daily for three days by
intraperitoneal administration in 1% DMSO, 2.5% Tween-80, 10%
PEG-300 QS to water. Plasma was assayed for ApoA-I (FIG. 5), and
HDL cholesterol (FIG. 6).
Experiment C
[1026]
2-(4-(2-hydroxyethoxy)-3,5-dimethylphenyl)-5,7-dimethoxyquinazolin--
4(3H)-one (30 mg/kg of body weight) were BID administered to
hApoA-I transgenic mice daily for seven days by oral gavage in 1%
DMSO, 2.5% Tween-80, 10% PEG-300 QS to water. Plasma was assayed
for ApoA-I and tissues were assayed for mRNA (FIG. 7).
[1027] These results indicate that the compounds of the invention
are useful for increasing the transcription of ApoA-I in vivo, and
elevating plasma levels of ApoA-I and circulating levels of HDL-C
in wild type and hApoA-I transgenic mice. These results demonstrate
that compounds of the invention activate the human ApoA-I transgene
in mice, leading to an increase in circulating ApoA-I.
