Description

TECHNICAL FIELD

[0001] The present invention relates to novel biaryl- or heterocyclic biaryl-substituted cyclohexene derivative compounds, and more particularly to novel biaryl- or heterocyclic biaryl-substituted cyclohexene derivatives having CETP inhibitory activity, isomers thereof, pharmaceutically acceptable salts thereof, the use for preparing pharmaceutical compositions, pharmaceutical compositions comprising the same, methods of treating diseases using these compositions, and methods for preparing novel biaryl- or heterocyclic biaryl-substituted cyclohexene derivatives.

BACKGROUND ART

[0002] Dyslipidemia generally refers to high blood cholesterol levels and is asymptomatic. However, dyslipidemia is a very serious condition, because it causes angina pectoris, myocardial infarction and arteriosclerosis. Statins, drugs that are commonly used to treat hyperlipidemia, exhibit therapeutic effects mainly by lowering LDL-C, but their effects on the prevention of cardiovascular diseases are still very insufficient. A recent study reported that not only lowering low-density lipoprotein cholesterol (LDL-C) levels, but also increasing high-density lipoprotein cholesterol (HDL-C) levels is very effective in preventing cardiovascular diseases (Goldbourt et al., 1997, 17, 107-113). Among drugs that are used to increase HDL-C levels, the most effective drug is Niacin. However, this drug needs to be taken in relatively large doses and causes side effects such as facial flushing (Taylor et al., Circulation, 2004, 110, 3512-3517).

[0003] Meanwhile, cholesterol ester transfer protein (CETP) is a protein that participates in reverse cholesterol transport (the transport of cholesterol from peripheral tissue to the liver). When CETP is inhibited, HDL-C levels can be effectively increased, thus preventing cardiovascular diseases. Accordingly, the development of compounds capable of inhibiting CETP activity is very important (Barter et al., Arterioscler Thromb Vase Biol, 2003, 23, 160-167).

[0004] CETP inhibitors developed to date include Torcetrapib (International Patent Publication No. WO 02/088085), Anacetrapib (International Patent Publication No. WO 2006/014357) and Evacetrapib (US Patent Publication No. 2010/0331309), which are structurally similar to each other. In addition, Dalcetrapib (International Patent Publication No. WO 98/35937), a benzenethiol derivative, is known as a CETP inhibitor.

[0005] However, among these CETP inhibitors, Torcetrapib (Pfizer) causes an increase in blood pressure and an increase in mortality rate, and thus was stopped phase III clinical trial. It was reported that such side effects occur because Torcetrapib increases the levels of hormones, such as aldosterone and corticosterone, associated with an elevation in blood pressure, and increases the thickness of the vascular wall to cause inflammation, thus increasing mortality rate (Forrest et al, British Journal of Pharmacology, 2008, 1-9).

[0006] The other CETP inhibitor Dalcetrapib (Roche) was also stopped in phase III clinical trial, and it is known that Dalcetrapib does not have the side effects of Torcetrapib, but has insufficient effects (Alyse S Goldberg et al, Drug Design Development and Therapy, 2012, 6, 251-259).

[0007] Recently, the results of phase III DEFINE trial (Determining the Efficacy and Tolerability of CETP Inhibition with Anacetrapib)) for Anacetrapib (Merck) indicated that, in the case of patients administered with Anacetrapib, the HDL-c level increased by 138% and the LDL-c level decreased by 40% (Philip Barter et al, The New England Journal of Medicine, 2010, 363, 2406-2415). Based on such results, Merck has performed clinical trials on about 30,000 persons in order to examine whether administration of Anacetrapib ameliorate cardiovascular diseases (ClinicalTrials.gov, NCT01252953).

[0008] In addition, the results of phase II clinical trials for Evacetrapib (Lilly) showed that Evacetrapib increases HDL-c levels in a dose-dependent manner and does not cause side effects such blood pressure elevation. Recently, Evacetrapib entered phase III clinical trials on 10,000 persons (ClinicalTrials.gov, NCT01687998).

[0009] Efforts have been made to develop novel CETP inhibitors having more advantages over CETP inhibitors developed to date or CETP inhibitors being developed. Such advantages may include excellent efficacy, reduced off-target effects, increased bioavailability, reduced food effects, etc.

[0714] Measurement of Activities of Compounds According to the Present Invention--Test Protocols

[0715] In the present invention, in order to test the preventive or therapeutic effects of the compounds of formula I against arteriosclerosis and hyperlipidemia and the safety of the compounds, comparative tests were performed using previously developed compounds as a control group.

EXPERIMENTAL EXAMPLE 1

Test for Inhibition of Cholesteryl Ester Transfer (In Vitro)

[0716] 1. Construction of Cholesteryl Ester Donor

[0717] To construct a cholesteryl ester donor to be used in the test, radiolabeled recombinant HDL containing [41]-cholesteryl oleate (GE healthcare, TRK886, 3.5 .mu.Ci/mg of apoA-1) and apoA-1 was synthesized. Then, rHDL-agarose having the recombinant HDL immobilized thereon by CNBr-activated Sepharose 4B (Amersham Biosciences, Sweden) resin was used in the test.

[0718] 2. Cholesteryl Ester Transfer Test

[0719] As a protein source for cholesteryl ester transfer, plasma from healthy persons was used, and as a cholesteryl ester receptor, LDL from healthy persons was used. Samples were treated with each test compound to final concentrations of 16, 80, 400, 2000 and 10000 nM and analyzed in duplicate. For the cholesteryl ester transfer test, 20 .mu.l of plasma, 50 .mu.l of LDL (0.25 mg/ml) and 50 .mu.l of rHDL-agarose (0.25 mg/ml) were added, and a solution containing a test compound was added, followed by reaction at 37.degree. C. Then, centrifugation was performed at 4.degree. C. for 3 minutes to stop the reaction, and 150 .mu.l of the supernatant was taken and transferred to a 96-well plate for radioactivity measurement, and the radioactivity of the plate was measured with a beta-ray detector.

[0720] 3. Statistical Processing

[0721] The ratio of [.sup.3H]-cholesteryl oleate from HDL to LDL was calculated and used as a result value, and from the result value, IC.sub.50 value was calculated using GraphPad Prism 5.0.

TABLE-US-00042 TABLE 30 Cholesteryl ester transfer test Compound IC.sub.50 (nM) 554 5.8 555 28.4 557 5.4 561 23.2 567 56.6 572 15.0 574 3.9 575 14.6 578 12.6 584 5.3 586 13.0 592 8.4 593 1.5 596 17.9 597 50.2 612 6.9 613 9.1 614 27.0 615 12.3 616 7.6 618 1.6 620 11.6 631 1.9 643 7.3 650 11.9 651 10.7 661 2.5 668 5.0 677 15.9 681 6.6 684 1.9 689 24.3 695 6.4 723 9.6 727 11.4 729 7.5 739 20.3 748 15.9 756 5.9 758 7.1 764 8.9

[0722] As can be seen from the cholesteryl ester transfer test results in Table 30 above, the biaryl- or heterocyclic biaryl-substituted cyclohexene compounds show excellent abilities to inhibit cholesterol transfer.

TEST EXAMPLE 2

Test for Anti-Hyperlipidemic Effect in Hamsters (In Vivo)

[0723] 1. Test Animals

[0724] In this test, 8-week-old male golden Syrian hamsters were used. The breeding room was maintained at constant temperature and constant humidity and a 12-hr light/12-hr dark cycle. The animals were allowed access to feed and water ad libitum.

[0725] 2. Anti-Hyperlipidemic Test in Hamsters

[0726] The test animals were acclimated for 1 week before use in the test. The test animals were divided according to body weight into several groups, each consisting of 5-8 animals, and were then administered orally with a dose of 3 mg/kg. A solvent control and a CETP inhibitor were dissolved in imwitor 742: tween 80 (1:1) and administered orally for 5 days, and at 4 hours after the final administration, blood was collected from the heart. The collected blood was centrifuged at 3000 rpm for 15 minutes, and the separated serum was measured for HDL-Cholesterol (Biosystem) and LDL-Cholesterol (Biosystem) using a biochemical analysis instrument (ILab 300 plus, Instrumentation Laboratory).

[0727] 3. Statistical Processing

[0728] All test results were expressed as Mean.+-.SEM, and to evaluate the effect of each test group, each test group was compared with the control group using one-way ANOVA test (Dunnett's test, p<0.001).

TABLE-US-00043 TABLE 31 Measurement of increase in HDL-c and decrease in LDL-c in blood of hamsters Increase in Decrease in Compound HDL-c (%) LDL-c (%) 554 72 42 557 77 39 574 41 36 584 46 40 586 37 34 593 61 29 618 65 26 631 56 30 643 68 17 650 50 24 661 53 20 668 44 16 681 25 29 695 71 35

[0729] As can be seen from the measurement of the increase in the HDL-c in the blood of hamsters in Table 31 above, the biaryl- or heterocyclic biaryl-substituted cyclohexene compounds show excellent effects of increasing HDL-c and reducing LDL-c.

TEST EXAMPLE 3

Evaluation of the Ability of CETP Inhibitor to Secrete Blood Pressure-Hormone

[0730] 1. Test Method

[0731] The results of ILLUMINATE regarding the results of phase III clinical trials for the first CETP inhibitor torcetrapib (Pfizer) indicated that morbidity rate and mortality rate in patients administered with a combination of torcetrapib and atorvastatin increase compared to those in patients administered with atorvastatin alone. Indeed, the secretion of hormones from human adrenal cortical tumor cells was evaluated using torcetrapib, and as a result, it was found that torcetrapib increased the secretion of aldosterone and cortisol that are blood pressure-increasing hormones (Endocrinology, 2009, 150(5), 2211-2219). Based on this, the secretion of blood pressure-increasing hormones from human adrenal cortical tumor cells was evaluated. The cell line H295R was purchased from ATCC (CRL-2128) and cultured in DMEM/F-12 medium (1% ITS, 2.5% Nu-serum). The H295R cell line was dispensed into a 24-well plate at a cell density of 1.times.10.sup.5/well, and stabilized for 24 hours, after which the cells were starved for 24 hours using serum-free DMEM/F-12. Then, the cells were treated with each of 100 nM of torcetrapib and 1 .mu.M of test compounds 554, 557, 574, 584, 586, 593, 618, 643, 650, 661, 681 and 695. At 24 hours after treatment with the drug or the compound, the supernatant was taken and stored at -20.degree. C. The supernatant stored at -20.degree. C. was thawed, and the amounts of aldosterone and cortisol secreted from the cells were measured using an aldosterone EIA kit (Cayman-10004377) and cortisol EIA kit (Cayman-500360).

[0732] 2. Statistical Processing

[0733] All test results were expressed as Mean.+-.SEM, and to evaluate the effect of each test group, each test group was compared with the control group using one-way ANOVA test (Dunnett's test, p<0.001).

TABLE-US-00044 TABLE 32 Evaluation of secretion of blood pressure-related hormones (treated with 1 .mu.M of compound) Aldosterone Cortisol Compound (fold, vs con.) (fold, vs con.) 554 0.90 0.93 557 0.96 1.01 574 1.13 1.32 584 0.95 0.92 586 0.99 1.10 593 1.14 0.75 618 0.73 1.09 643 0.72 0.81 650 0.80 0.82 661 0.80 0.68 681 0.83 0.76 695 0.67 0.89 Torcetrapib 1.21~2.25 2.08~3.77

[0734] From the test results for the secretion of blood pressure-related hormones aldosterone and cortisol in Table 32 above, it can be seen that the control compound torcetrapib increased the secretion of the two hormones, but the biaryl- or heterocyclic biaryl-substituted cyclohexene compounds of the present invention did not influence the secretion of aldosterone and cortisol, which have a connection with blood pressure-related side effects. Thus, it can be seen that the compounds of the present invention does not cause increased blood pressure and side effects related to increased blood pressure.
