Description

TECHNICAL FIELD

The present invention relates to a compound having an inhibitory action on activin receptor-like kinase 5 (ALK5) which is a TGF-β type I receptor. The present invention also relates to a hair follicle cell growth accelerator, a hair growth stimulant, and a hair growth agent, each of which contains a functional inhibitor of ALK5 as an active ingredient.

BACKGROUND ART

Transforming growth factor-β (TGF-β), as well as activin, BMP and the like, is a molecular entity belonging to a TGF-β superfamily. There are two distinct signaling receptors for TGF-β (type I and type II), both of which have serine/threonine kinase regions in their respective cells. Upon combining the TGF-β with the receptor, the type I receptor is phosphorylated by the type II receptor and thus activated, so that the signal is transferred to a nucleus via a Smad2/3 pathway or a TAB1/TAK1 pathway.
It has been apparent that the TGF-β has quite a lot of physiological actions, and as one of such actions, it has been well known that the TGF-β has a property of accumulating extracellular matrix in tissues through production stimulation and decomposition suppression of proteins which constitute the extracellular matrix (Massague, Ann Rev Cell Biol 6, 597-641 (1990)). Thus, continuous hyperproduction of TGF-β and activation of signal transduction system may lead to various fibrosing diseases. In the case of kidney, for example, TGF-β has been shown to be deeply involved in fibrosis or glomerulonephritis in renal disease such as glomerulonephritis or diabetic nephropathy (Okuda et al., J Clin Invest 86, 453-462 (1990), Border et al., Nature 346, 371-374 (1990)), and in the case of liver, TGF-β has been shown to facilitate production of extracellular matrix in the nonparenchymal cells and then contribute to the onset of hepatic fibrosis and liver cirrhosis (Barnard et al., Biochim Biophys Acta 1032, 79-87 (1990)). In addition, one of the causes of such intractable diseases as pulmonary fibrosis or proliferative vitreoretinopathy accompanied by substantial fibrosis is accumulation of extracellular matrix due to hyper function of TGF-β.
An inhibitor of ALK5 has been reported to suppress the accumulation of extracellular matrix induced by TGF-β by way of blocking TGF-β/Smad signals (Grygielko et al., ASN 2002 F-FC022), so that this inhibitor is considered to be useful as pharmaceutical products for treatment or prevention of various diseases associated with fibrosis of kidney, liver or lung, etc.
On the other hand, TGF-β is known to exhibit significant growth inhibitory action against various cells such as epithelial cells, vascular endothelial cells, hematocytes, or lymphocytes (Soma et al., J Invest Dermatol 111, 948-954 (1998)). As for hair follicles, it has been reported that TGF-β hyperexpression induces growth suppression/apoptosis in the hair follicle cells and then a hair cycle is shifted from anagen to telogen, and thus it has become apparent that TGF-β is deeply involved in progression of alopecia (Foitzik et al., FASEB J 14, 752-760 (2000)).
However, research has not fully shown that which signaling pathway from the TGF-β receptor primarily contributes to the growth suppression/apoptosis in the hair follicle cells, and thus prevention/treatment effect of alopecia which is based on blockade of TGF-β/Smad signals caused by the ALK5 inhibitor has not yet been reported.
Although substances having inhibitory action on activin receptor-like kinase 5 (ALK5) which is a TGF-β type I receptor are described in WO00/61576A, WO01/72737A, WO01/62756A, WO02/40468A, WO03/87304A and the like, a thiozolylimidazole compound according to the present invention has not been shown.
Further, although an imidazole compound having a similar structure to that of a compound according to the present invention is well known from WO99/03837A, WO96/03387A, WO03/62215A, WO01/85723A, WO01/44203A, JP2001163861A, JP07112975A, U.S. Pat. No. 6,770,663, WO04/005264A and the like, the inhibitory action of these compounds against activin receptor-like kinase 5 (ALK5) has not yet been reported.

Further, another embodiment of the present invention is an intermediate for producing a compound represented by the formula (I), in which a portion corresponding to A of the above described formula (I) represents groups as described below,
wherein X³represents a hydrogen atom or a halogen atom.
Preferable compounds of formula (I) according to the present invention includes a compound in which R²is a hydrogen atom, a halogen atom, an alkyl group having 1 to 6 carbon atoms, or an alkyl group having 1 to 6 carbon atoms substituted with 1 to 5 halogen atoms, more preferably a compound in which R²is an alkyl group having 1 to 6 carbon atoms or a trifluoromethyl group and yet more preferably a compound in which R²is a methyl group, or a trifluoromethyl group.

Although the term “a hair growth agent” as used herein means a pharmaceutical product or a quasi drug which is used for the purpose of induction of hair growth, stimulation of hair growth, or prevention of alopecia, this term is required to be taken in the broad sense and should not be used exclusively in any sense. When a hair growth agent according to the present invention is used as a pharmaceutical product, this is applicable to amelioration or prevention of alopecia areata or male pattern alopecia for example, but application of the hair growth agent according to the present invention is not limited thereto.
The present invention shows that the substance, which inhibits the function of ALK5, acts as an ameliorating agent or a prophylactic drug against hypofunction of hair follicle cells.
The substance which inhibits the function of ALK5 is a substance which suppresses phosphorylation of Samd2 and Smad3 when a signal is transmitted from a TGF-β receptor, and for example, illustrative compounds are described in claims 1 to 6 of the present invention. Since the above described action mechanism can completely inhibit the growth suppression effect of TGF-β against the hair follicle cells which are also hair keratin production cells, it is expected that this substance is effective for symptoms that have not been ameliorated or prevented by the conventional hair growth agent.
In addition, it is also expected that this substance produces a synergic effect in combination with other hair growth stimulants or hair growth agents having other efficacy.
Although the hair growth agent according to the present invention can be administered in different dosage amounts and in different dosage forms depending on natures of substances, it is preferable that this substance is externally applied or orally administered because of its necessity of continuous administration. Not all of such dosage amounts can be expressed in numerical values uniformly. However, as for compounds 1 to 202 and 228 to 249, it may be necessary to administer about 0.0001 to 10 wt % thereof, preferably 0.001 to 5 wt % thereof, and more preferably 0.001 to 1 wt % thereof as a lotion, an ointment, or a gel for external application, or alternatively, it may be necessary to administer about 1 to 100 mg/kg of such compound as a powdered drug or a capsule for oral administration. The above described formulations can be obtained by using common formulation techniques.
A dosage form of the hair growth agent according to the present invention is not specifically limited to a certain form, but in the case of an external preparation, a hair growth agent containing an ALK5 inhibitor such as any of compounds 1 to 202 and 228 to 249 as an active ingredient is preferably provided as a water soluble composition. Generally, in order to produce such a water soluble composition, various additives (humectants, thickeners, preservatives, antioxidants, flavors, and colorants etc.) used for manufacturing medicines, quasi drugs, or cosmetics can be used. The hair growth agent according to the present invention can be provided as a hair trimming composition such as a hair drug, hair oil, hair mousse, or gel, a hair washing composition such as a shampoo or rinse, or alternatively an ointment for example.
When a hair growth agent according to the present invention is provided as a liquid drug, an ALK5 inhibitor such as any of compounds 1 to 202 and 228 to 249 is adequately combined with purified water, a suitable buffer solution such as a phosphate buffer, a physiological saline solution such as saline, a Ringer's solution or a Lock solution, ethanol, glycerin, and a commonly used surfactant in order to prepare the drug in the form of a sterilized aqueous solution, non-aqueous solution, suspension, liposome, or emulsion. This preparation is topically administered as a liquid preparation for scalp. In this case, the liquid preparation may be directly applied onto the scalp or may be applied by using an injection nozzle for spraying.
When a hair growth agent according to the present invention is provided as a semisolid preparation, an ALK5 inhibitor such as any of compounds 1 to 202 and 228 to 249 can be admixed with fat, fatty oil, lanoline, Vaseline, paraffin, wax, ointment, resin, plastic, glycols, higher alcohol, glycerin, water, emulsifiers, suspending agents or the like, and then topically administered as an external medicine such ointment or cream.
When a hair growth agent according to the present invention is provided as a solid preparation, an ALK5 inhibitor such as any of compounds 1 to 202 and 228 to 249 can be mixed appropriately with a suitable additive to prepare an external medicine such as a powdered drug or a dust formulation, or alternatively, the inhibitor can be dissolved or suspended in a solvent if required in order to prepare a solid formulation for the scalp application.
Further, in the case of oral administration, an ALK5 inhibitor such as any of compounds 1 to 202 and 228 to 249 can be blended with a pharmaceutically acceptable carrier (excipients, binders, disintegrants, flavoring substances, aromatizing agents, and emulsifiers, etc.), diluent, solubilizing agent or the like, and thus obtained pharmaceutical product is preferably provided as a tablet, capsule, granule, powdered drug, syrup, suspension, solution or the like which can be prepared in accordance with the common technique.

Example 47

Synthesis of Compound 251

Potassium permanganate (572 mg) was added to Compound 250 (562 mg) in a mixed solution of acetone (35.9 ml)-buffer* (20.0 ml), and the mixture was stirred for 30 minutes at room temperature. The reaction mixture was cooled on ice, and after sodium nitrite (234 mg) was added thereto slowly, 10% sulfuric acid (2.4 ml) was added dropwise thereto. After this solution was stirred for 15 minutes while cooling in ice, chloroform (100 ml) and water (30 ml) were added to the reaction solution, and then the resultant solution was filtered through celite. The filtrate was separated, and the aqueous layer was extracted again with chloroform (100 ml). The combined organic layer was dried over anhydrous magnesium sulfate, and then the solvent was evaporated. The residue was purified by silica gel column chromatography (neutral; hexane:ethyl acetate=50:50) to yield the title compound (113 mg) as a yellow powder (mp: 163.5-164.5° C.) buffer*: Sodium hydrogen carbonate (6.8 g) and anhydrous magnesium sulfate (68.0 g) were dissolved in water (3.0 l)

Test Example 1

Smad2/3 Phosphorylation Inhibitory Activity Test

A549 cells were seeded to a plate, and cultured overnight in a Ham's F-12 medium supplemented with 10% FBS. This medium was replaced with the same medium containing the compounds or not containing the compounds, and after incubated another 2 hours, TGF-β1 was added thereto so as to make its final concentration 1 ng/ml, and further incubated another 1 hour. After completion of incubation, the medium was removed, and the cells were washed with PBS and then lysed by a RIPA solution. The cell lysate solution was subjected to immunoprecipitation using aiti-Smad2/3 antibody, and then Western blotting was performed. Using a rabbit anti-phosphorylated serine antibody as a primary antibody, a HRP-labeled anti-rabbit IgG antibody as a secondary antibody, and ECL Western blotting detection reagents as detection reagents, light emitting amounts were measured using Limi-Imager F1 (Roche Diagnostics) etc.
Following the above described methods, the inhibitory activities of the respective compounds against Smad2/3 phosphorylation caused by TGF-β1 stimulation were measured, and IC50 values were calculated.
The results are shown in Table 2.

Test Example 2

Hair Follicle Cell Proliferation Test

According to the method of by Arase et al. (Arase et al., J Dermatol sci 2, 66-70 (1991)), hair follicle cells were isolated from human hair and cultured by using KGM-1 (Clonetics).
After the follicle cells were seeded to a 24-well plate and cultured overnight, this medium was replaced with another medium containing the compounds or not containing the compounds, and after incubated culture another 2 hours, TGF-β1 was added thereto so as to make its final concentration 0.1 ng/ml, and further cultured another 72 hours. At 2 hours before the completion of culture, an Alamar blue reagent whose amount equals to 1/10 of the medium was added to the medium, and the fluorescence intensity of the medium (Ex: 544 nm, Em: 590 nm) was measured to determine the number of living cells. FIG. 1 shows the numbers of living cells when TGF-β1 was solely administered thereto and when TGF-β1 and the compound were simultaneously administered thereto, provided that the number of living cells determined when these cells were cultured for 72 hours without adding TGF-β1 is assumed to be 100%.
