Description
Oxadiazole Benzenesulfonamides as Selective 33 Agonists for the Treatment of Diabetes and Obesity Background of the Invention 3-Adrenoceptors have been subclassified as P1 and 12 since 1967. Increased heart rate is the primary consequence of 1 -receptor stimulation, while bronchodilation and smooth muscle relaxation typically result from P2 stimulation. Adipocyte lipolysis was initially thought to be solely a Pi-mediated process. However, more recent results indicate that the receptor-mediating lipolysis is atypical in nature. These atypical receptors, later called 13adrenoceptors, are found on the cell surface of both white and brown adipocytes where their stimulation promotes both lipolysis (breakdown of fat) and energy expenditure.
Early developments in this area produced compounds with greater agonist activity for the stimulation of lipolysis (03 activity) than for stimulation of atrial rate (p1) and tracheal relaxation These early developments disclosed in Ainsworth et. al, U.S. Patents 4,478,849 and 4,396,627, were derivatives of phenylethanolamines.
15 Such selectivity for p 3 -adrenoceptors could make compounds of this type potentially S useful as antiobesity agents. In addition, these compounds have been reported to show antihyperglycemic effects in animal models of non-insulin-dependent diabetes mellitus.
A major drawback in treatment of chronic diseases with 13 agonists is the potential for stimulation of other p-receptors and subsequent side effects. The most likely of these include Co oo o [N:\LIBC1000I79:MEF WO 97/46556 PCT/US97/09536 -2muscle tremor (02) and increased heart rate Although these phenylethanolamine derivatives do possess some 33 selectivity, side effects of this type have been observed in human volunteers.
It is reasonable to expect that these side effects resulted from partial 11 and/or 92 agonism.
More recent developments in this area are disclosed in Ainsworth et al., U.S. Patent 5,153,210, Caulkett et al., U.S. Patent 4,999,377, Alig et al., U.S. Patent 5,017,619, Lecount et al., European Patent 427480 and Bloom et al., European Patent 455006.
Even though these more recent developments purport to describe compounds with greater *3 selectivity over the 0 1 and 32 activities, this selectivity was determined using rodents, in particular, rats as the test animal. Because even the most highly selective compounds, as determined by these assays, still show signs of side effects due to residual 0 1 and 32 agonist activity when the compounds are tested in humans, it has become apparent that the rodent is not a good model for predicting human 33 selectivity.
Recently, assays have been developed which more accurately predict the effects that can be expected in humans.
These assays utilize cloned human 33 receptors which have been expressed in Chinese hamster ovary cells. See Emorine et al, Science, 1989, 245:1118-1121; and Liggett, Mol. Pharmacol., 1992, 42:634-637. The agonist and antagonist effects of the various compounds on the cultivated cells provide an indication of the antiobesity and antidiabetic effects of the compounds in humans.

Treatment of sulfonamide 3 with hydroxylamine, which may be formed in situ from hydroxylamine hydrochloride and a base such as potassium carbonate, in a solvent such as ethanol at temperatures from 0 °C to 100 oC, conveniently 70-80 provides the corresponding amidoxime 4. The oxadiazole is then formed by methods known in the literature (See, for example, Borg, et. al., J. Org. Chem. 1995, 60, 3112-3120 and Diana, et. al., J. Med. Chem. 1994, 37, 2421-2436, and references cited therein).
This is conveniently carried out by acylation with an acid halide such as the acid chloride 5 (X Cl) or an anhydride 5 (X OCOR) including mixed anhydrides in the presence of base or with an acid (X OH) and a peptide coupling reagent such as ethyldimethylaminopropylcarbodiimide, followed by heating to effect cyclization in a solvent such as pyridine or diglyme.
Removal of the protecting group with, in the case of a tertbutylcarbamate, acid such as trifluoroacetic acid or methanolic hydrogen chloride, provides the oxadiazole Ia. The carboxylic acids or acid derivatives 5 are commercially available, known in the literature, or readily prepared by methods commonly known to those skilled in the art.
In some cases, the product Ia from the reaction described in Scheme 1 may be further modified, for example, by the removal of protecting groups or the manipulation of substituents on R1. These manipulations may include, but are not limited to, reduction, oxidation, alkylation, acylation, and hydrolysis reactions which are commonly known to those skilled in the art.

In addition, the reactions illustrated in Scheme 1 may be carried out on a solid phase support linkage. This approach is illustrated in Schemes 2 and 3. As shown in Scheme 2, aniline derivative 6 is coupled to a solid support such as NovaSyn® TGA resin from Novabiochem by treatment with an activating agent, conveniently 4-nitrophenyl chloroformate in the presence of base such as diisopropylethylamine in a solvent or solvent mixture such as 1:1 tetrahydrofuran dichloromethane. The hydroxyl group is then protected, conveniently as its triethylsilyl ether using triethylsilyl chloride in the presence of a base such as diisopropylethylamine. The resultant derivative 8 is treated with 4cyanobenzenesulfonyl halide, conveniently the sulfonyl chloride 2, in the presence of a base such as pyridine, to provide the sulfonamide 9.

N (R)m (Ib) Compounds of the general Formula I may be present as pairs of enantiomers or, where there is more than one chiral centers, as mixtures of diastereomers. Enantiomeric pairs may be WO 97/46556 PCT/US97/09536 separated into individual stereoisomers by conventional means, for example by the use of an optically active acid as a resolving agent.
A mixture of diastereomers may be separated into diastereoisomeric pairs of enantiomers by, for example, fractional crystallization from a suitable solvent, for example methanol or ethyl acetate or a mixture thereof. The pair of enantiomers may be separated as described above Alternatively, any enantiomer of a compound of the general Formula I may be obtained by stereospecific synthesis using optically pure starting materials of known configuration.
The instant compounds can be isolated in the form of their pharmaceutically acceptable acid addition salts, such as the salts derived from using inorganic and organic acids. Examples of such acids are hydrochloric, nitric, sulfuric, phosphoric, formic, acetic, trifluoroacetic, propionic, maleic, succinic, malonic and the like. In addition, certain compounds containing an acidic function such as a carboxy or tetrazole, can be isolated in the form of their inorganic salt in which the counterion can be selected from sodium, potassium, lithium, calcium, magnesium and the like, as well as from organic bases.
As previously indicated, the compounds of the present invention have valuable pharmacological properties. Thus the present invention also provides a compound of the general Formula I or a pharmaceutically acceptable salt thereof for use as an active therapeutic substance.
The disease diabetes mellitus is characterized by metabolic defects in production and utilization of glucose which result in the failure to maintain appropriate blood sugar levels. The result of these defects is elevated blood glucose or hyperglycemia.
Research on the treatment of diabetes has centered on attempts to normalize fasting and postprandial blood glucose levels.
Treatments have included parenteral administration of exogenous insulin, oral administration of drugs and dietary therapies.
WO 97/46556 PCT/US97/09536 -36- Two major forms of diabetes mellitus are now recognized. Type I diabetes, or insulin-dependent diabetes, is the result of an absolute deficiency of insulin, the hormone which regulates glucose utilization. Type II diabetes, or insulinindependent diabetes, often occurs in the face of normal, or even elevated levels of insulin and appears to be the result of the inability of tissues to respond appropriately to insulin. Most of the Type II diabetics are also obese.
Compounds of the present invention are capable of stimulating 133 adrenoceptor mediated lipolysis, and lowering blood glucose levels. Thus, in one aspect, the present invention provides a compound of the general Formula I or a pharmaceutically acceptable salt thereof for use in the treatment of obesity or hyperglycemia (diabetes) in human or non-human animals. In another aspect, the present invention provides a method for the treatment of obesity which comprises administering to an obese patient a therapeutically effective amount of a compound of the general Formula I, or a pharmaceutically acceptable salt thereof. In a further aspect, the present invention provides a method for the treatment of diabetes which comprises administering to a diabetic patient a therapeutically effective amount of a compound of formula I.
In addition the compounds of the present invention lower triglyceride levels and cholesterol levels and raise high density lipoprotein levels and are therefore of use in combatting medical conditions wherein such lowering (and raising) is thought to be beneficial. Thus they may be used in the treatment of hypertriglyceridaemia, hypercholesterolaemia and conditions of low HDL (high density lipoprotein) levels in addition to the treatment of atherosclerotic disease such as of coronary, cerebrovascular and peripheral arteries, cardiovascular disease and related conditions.
Accordingly, in another aspect the present invention provides a method of lowering triglyceride and/or cholesterol levels and/or increasing high density lipoprotein levels which WO 97/46556 PCT/US97/09536 -37comprises administering, to a human or a non-human animal in need thereof, a therapeutically effective amount of a compound of the formula or pharmaceutically acceptable salt thereof. In a further aspect the present invention provides a method of treating atherosclerosis which comprises administering, to an animal in need thereof; a therapeutically effective amount of a compound of the formula or pharmaceutically acceptable salt thereof. The compositions are formulated and administered in the same general manner as detailed below for treating diabetes and obesity. They may also contain other active ingredients known for use in the treatment of atherosclerosis and related conditions, for example fibrates such as clofibrate, bezafibrate and gemfibrozil; inhibitors of cholesterol biosynthesis such as HMG-CoA reductase inhibitors for example lovastatin, simvastatin and pravastatin; inhibitors of cholesterol absorption for example beta-sitosterol and (acyl CoA:cholesterol acyltransferase) inhibitors for example melinamide; anion exchange resins for example cholestyramine, colestipol or a dialkylaminoalkyl derivatives of a cross-linked dextran; nicotinyl alcohol, nicotinic acid or a salt thereof; vitamin E; and thyromimetics.
The compounds of the instant invention also have the effect of reducing intestinal motility and thus find utility as aiding in the treatment of various gastrointestinal disorders such as irritable bowel syndrome. It has been proposed that the motility of non-sphincteric smooth muscle contraction is mediated by activity at P3 adrenoreceptors. The availability of a P3 specific agonist, with little activity at P1 and P2 receptors will assist in the pharmacologic control of intestinal motility without concurrent cardiovascular effects. The instant compounds are administered generally as described below with dosages similar to those used for the treatment of diabetes and obesity.
It has also been found unexpectedly that the compounds which act as agonists at B3 adrenoreceptors may be useful in the treatment of gastrointestinal disorders, especially WO 97/46556 PCT/US97/09536 38peptic ulcerations, esophagitis, gastritis and duodenitis, (including that induced by H. pylori), intestinal ulcerations (including inflammatory bowel disease, ulcerative colitis, Crohn's disease and proctitis) and gastrointestinal ulcerations.
In addition, 33 receptors have been indicated to have an effect on the inhibition of the release of neuropeptides in certain sensory fibers in the lung. As sensory nerves may play an important role in the neurogenic inflammation of airways, including cough, the instant specific P3 agonists may be useful in the treatment of neurogenetic inflammation, such as asthma, with minimal effects on the cardio-pulmonary system.
03 adrenoreceptors are also able to produce selective antidepressant effects by stimulating the 3 3 receptors in the brain and thus an additional contemplated utility of the compounds of this invention are as antidepressant agents.
The active compounds of the present invention may be orally administered as a pharmaceutical composition, for example, with an inert diluent, or with an assimilable edible carrier, or they may be enclosed in hard or soft shell capsules, or they may be compressed into tablets, or they may be incorporated directly with the food of the diet. For oral therapeutic administration, which includes sublingual administration, these active compounds may be incorporated with excipients and used in the form of tablets, pills, capsules, ampules, sachets, elixirs, suspensions, syrups, and the like. Such compositions and preparations should contain at least 0.1 percent of active compound. The percentage of active compound in these compositions may, of course, be varied and may conveniently be between about 2 percent to about 60 percent of the weight of the unit. The amount of active compound in such therapeutically useful compositions is such that an effective dosage will be obtained. The active compounds can also be administered intranasally as, for example, liquid drops or spray.
The effective dosage of active ingredient employed may vary depending on the particular compound employed, the WO 97/46556 PCT/US97/09536 -39mode of administration, the condition being treated and the severity of the condition being treated.
When treating diabetes mellitus and/or hyperglycemia generally satisfactory results are obtained when the compounds of the present invention are administered at a daily dosage of from about 0.001 milligram to about 100 milligram per kilogram of animal body weight, preferably given in a single dose or in divided doses two to six times a day, or in sustained release form. In the case of a 70 kg adult human, the total daily dose will generally be from about 0.07 milligrams to about 350 milligrams. This dosage regimen may be adjusted to provide the optimal therapeutic response.
When treating obesity, in conjunction with diabetes and/or hyperglycemia, or alone, generally satisfactory results are obtained when the compounds of the present invention are administered at a daily dosage of from 0.01 milligram to about 100 milligrams per kilogram of animal body weight, preferably given in a single dose or in divided doses two to six times a day, or in sustained release form. In the case of a 70 kg adult human, the total daily dose will generally be from about 0.7 milligrams to about 3500 milligrams. This dosage regimen may be adjusted to provide the optimal therapeutic response.
The tablets, pills, capsules, and the like may also contain a binder such as gum tragacanth, acacia, corn starch or gelatin; excipients such as dicalcium phosphate; a disintegrating agent such as corn starch, potato starch, alginic acid; a lubricant such as magnesium stearate; and a sweetening agent such as sucrose, lactose or saccharin. When a dosage unit form is a capsule, it may contain, in addition to materials of the above type, a liquid carrier such as a fatty oil.
Various other materials may be present as coatings or to modify the physical form of the dosage unit. For instance, tablets may be coated with shellac, sugar or both. A syrup or elixir may contain, in addition to the active ingredient, sucrose as a WO 97/46556 PCTIUS97/09536 sweetening agent, methyl and propylparabens as preservatives, a dye and a flavoring such as cherry or orange flavor.
These active compounds may also be administered parenterally. Solutions or suspensions of these active compounds can be prepared in water suitably mixed with a surfactant such as hydroxy-propylcellulose. Dispersions can also be prepared in glycerol, liquid polyethylene glycols and mixtures thereof in oils.
Under ordinary conditions of storage and use, these preparations contain a preservative to prevent the growth of microorganisms.
The pharmaceutical forms suitable for injectable use include sterile aqueous solutions or dispersions and sterile powders for the extemporaneous preparation of sterile injectable solutions or dispersions. In all cases, the form must be sterile and must be fluid to the extent that easy syringability exists. It must be stable under the conditions of manufacture and storage and must be preserved against the contaminating action of microorganisms such as bacteria and fungi. The carrier can be a solvent or dispersion medium containing, for example, water, ethanol, polyol (e.g.
glycerol, propylene glycol and liquid polyethylene glycol), suitable mixtures thereof, and vegetable oils.
The following in vitro assays are suitable for screening compounds that have selective 13 agonist activity: Functional Assay: cAMP production in response to ligand is measured according to Barton et al (1991, Agonist-induced desensitization of D2 dopamine receptors in human Y-79 retinoblastoma cells. Mol. Pharmacol. v3229:650-658) modified as follows. CHO cells, stably transfected with the cloned 1-adrenergic receptor 11, 12 or 33) are harvested after 3 days of subculturing. Harvesting is done with Enzyme-free Dissociation Media (Specialty Media). Cells are counted and distributed in the assay tubes, after being resuspended in Tris buffer (ACC buffer: 75 mM Tris, pH 7.4, 250 mM Sucrose, 12.5 mM MgCl2, mM EDTA, 0.2 mM Sodium Metabisulfite, 0.6mM IBMX) containing an antioxidant and a phosphodiesterase inhibitor.

vol 10: The unknown cAMP level is determined by comparing levels to a standard curve. Alternatively, cAMP is measured using the cAMP SPA kit (code number RPA 556) from Amersham according to the manufacturer's instructions. Samples tested with the latter method do not need to be acetylated.
The non-selective, full agonist B-adrenergic ligand isoproterenol is used at all three receptors to determine maximal stimulation. The human 83 AR-selective ligand hydroxy-3-(4-hydroxyphenoxy)propyl]amino]ethyl]-phenyl]-4iodobenzenesulfonamide is used as a control in all assays. Isoproterenol is titrated at a final concentration in the assay of 10-10 M to 10- 5 M for the B3 AR and 10-11 M to 10-6 M for the B1 AR and 132 AR assays. L- 742,791 is titrated at the 13 receptor at concentration of 10-11 M to 10-6 M. At the 11 AR the concentrations used are 10-8 M, 10- 7 M, 3X10- 7 M, 10-6 M, 3X10- 6 M and 10-5 M. For the B2 AR a single concentration of 10- 5 M is used.
Unknown ligands are initially tested at the B3 AR at a final concentration in the assay of 10-7 M. Compounds that have an activation at this concentration equal to or greater than 35% of the isoproterenol stimulation are titrated at the B3 AR at concentrations equal to those used to titrate the control 4 -[2-[[2-hydroxy-3-(4hydroxyphenoxy)propyl]amino]ethyl]-phenyl]-4iodobenzenesulfonamide to determine the EC50. The EC50 is defined as the concentration of compound that gives 50% activation of its own WO 97/46556 PCT/US97/09536 -42maximum. Data are analyzed using the Prism program (GraphPan, San Diego, CA).
A selective compound is defined as a compound with a 13 AR)/(IC50 11 AR, 12 AR) greater than 100. IC50 is defined in the next section. Selective compounds are tested for agonist activity at the 131 AR and the 12 AR by assaying first at a single concentration, 10-5 M. Compounds with activations of less than 20% when compared to the isoproterenol control (11 AR and 12 AR) are retested at 10- 7
M
and 10- 5 M. Compounds with activations between 20% and 40% and other compounds of interest are titrated at the following concentrations: 10-8 M, 10- 7 M, 10-6 M, 3X10- 6 M, 10-5 M and 3X10- 5
M.
Compounds with activities greater than 40% are not tested further.
Binding Assay: Compounds are also assayed at the 131 and 82 receptors to determine selectivity. This is done for all compounds using a 6 point binding assay as follows: CHO cells expressing the B1 and the B2 receptors are grown for 3-4 days after splitting. The attached cells are washed with PBS and lysed in ImM Tris, pH 7.2 for minutes in ice. The flasks are scraped and the membranes centrifuged at 38,000 x g for 15 minutes at 4 The membranes are resuspended in TME buffer (75 mM Tris, pH 7.4, 12.5 mM MgCl2, 1.5 mM EDTA) at a concentration of 1 mg protein/ml. Large batches of membranes can be prepared, aliquoted and stored at -70 0 C for up to a year without loss of potency. The binding assay is performed by incubating together membranes (20-50 pg of protein), the radiolabelled tracer 1251-.
cyanopindolol 12 5 I-CYP, 45pM), and the test compounds at final concentrations ranging from 10- 10 M to 10- 5 M in a final volume of 250 pL of TME buffer. The tubes are incubated for 1 hour with shaking at room temperature and the samples are filtered in an IMSCO 96-well cell harvester. The filters are counted in a Gamma counter and the data are analyzed using a 4 parameter fit routine in RS 1 (program developed in house using well documented statistical analysis programs) to determine the IC50. The IC50 is defined as the concentration of the compound capable of inhibiting 50% of the binding of the radiolabelled tracer 125 I-CYP). Compounds having >100 fold selectivity are also tested WO 97/46556 PCT/US97/09536 -43for agonist activity at the 11 and B2 receptors following the protocols already described for the 13 AR above.
