Description

NOVEL DIHYDROXYHEXANOIC ACID DERIVATIVES
Background of the Invention
The present invention relates to novel dihydroxyhexanoic acid derivatives, methods of use and pharmaceutical compositions containing them.
The compounds of the invention are potent and selective inhibitors of MIP-1a binding to its receptor CCR1 found on inflammatory and immunomodulatory cells (preferably leukocytes and lymphocytes). The CCR1 recepto·· is also sometimes referred to as the CCCKR1 receptor. These compounds also inhibit MIP-1a (and the related chemokine shown to interact with CCR1 (e.g., RANTES and MCP-3)) induced chemotaxis of THP-1 cells and human leukocytes and are potentially useful for the treatment or prevention of autoimmune diseases (such as rheumatoid arthritis, type I diabetes (recent onset), inflammatory bowel disease, optic neuritis, psoriasis, multiple sclerosis, polymyalgia rheumatica, uveitis, and vasculitis), acute and chronic inflammatory conditions (such as osteoarthritis, adult Respiratory Distress Syndrome, Respiratory Distress Syndrome of infancy, ischemia reperfusion injury, and glomerulonephritis), allergic conditions (such as asthma and atopic dermatitis), infection associated with inflammation (such as viral inflammation (including influenza and hepatitis) and Guillian-Barre), transplantation tissue rejection (chronic and acute), organ rejection (chronic and acute), atherosclerosis, restenosis, HIV infectivity (coreceptor usage), and granulomatous diseases (including sarcoidosis, leprosy and tuberculosis).
MIP-lcx and RANTES are soluble chemotactic peptides (chemokines) which are produced by inflammatory cells, in particular CD8+ lymphocytes, polymorphonuclear leukocytes (PMNs) and macrophages, J.Biol. Chem., 270 (30) 29671-29675 (1995). These chemokines act by inducing the migration and activation of key inflammatory and immunomodulatory cells. Elevated levels of chemokines have been found in the synovial fluid of rheumatoid arthritis patients, chronic and rejecting tissue transplant patients and in the nasal secretions of allergic rhinitis patients following allergen exposure (Teran , et al., 1 Immunol., 1806-1812 (1996), and Kuna et al., J. Allergy Clin, immunol. 321 (1994)). Antibodies which interfere with the chemokine/receptor interaction by neutralizing MIP-1 a or gene disruption have provided direct evidence for the role of MIP-1a and RANTES in disease by limiting the recruitment of monocytes and CD8+ lymphocytes (Smith et al., J, Immunol, 153, 4704 (1994) and Cook et al., Science, 269, 1583 (1995)). Together this data demonstrates that CCR1 antagonists would be an effective at treatment of several immune based diseases. The compounds described within are highly soluble, potent and selective antagonists of CCR1.

-8Scheme 1 refers to the preparation of compounds of the formula I having the exact stereochemistry
Compounds of the formula I, or any of the intermediates thereof, can be separated by column chromatography according to methods well known to those of ordinary skill in the art, to yield pure compounds of the formula I.
Referring to Scheme 1, compounds of the formula I, can be prepared from compounds of formula II by reaction with ammonia or another volatile low molecular weight amine in a polar solvent at a temperature from about -10°C to about 35°C, preferably at about 30°C. Suitable solvents include, alcohols, such as methanol, ethanol, or butanols; or ethers such as glyme or dioxane (an acid catalyst may be used with an ether solvent). Preferably the solvent is methanol.
Compounds of formula II are prepared by coupling a compound of formula III with an acid of the formula R1CO2H (or an acid chloride thereof wherein R1 is quinoxaline-2-carboxylic acid, 7,8 difluoro-quinoline-3-carboxylic-acid or 6,7,8-trifluoroquinoline-3-carboxylic acid).
Such a coupling reaction is generally conducted at a temperature of about -30°C to about 80°C, preferably about 0°C to about 25°C. Examples of suitable coupling reagents which activate the carboxylic acid functionality are dicyclohexylcarbodiimide/hydroxybenzotriazole (DCC/HBT), N-3-dimethylaminopropyl-N'-ethylcarbodiimide (EDC)/HBT, 2-ethyoxy-1ethoxycarbonyl-1,2-dihydroquinoline (EEDQ), carbonyl diimidazole (CDI)/dimethylaminopyridine (DMAP), and diethylphosphorylcyanide. The coupling is conducted in an inert solvent, preferably an aprotic solvent, such as acetonitirile, dichloromethane, chloroform, and dimethylformamide. The preferred solvent is dichloromethane.

-9The compounds of formula III, can be prepared by deprotection and alkene hydrolysis of compounds of the formula IV by reaction with trifluoro acetic acid. Suitable protecting groups, of the formula P, include t-butoxycarbonyl.
Compounds of the formula IV, can be prepared by reaction of a compound of formula V with 4-bromo-2-methyl-2-butene, in the presence of a strong base in an aprotic polar solvent. Suitable bases include lithium dialkyl amides such as lithium N-isopropyl-Ncyclohexylamide IDA or potassium hydride. Suitable solvents include ethers (such as THF, glyme or dioxane) benzene or toluene, preferably THF. The aforesaid reaction is conducted at about -78°C to about 0°C, preferably at about -78°C.
Compounds’of the formula V can be prepared by methods well known to those of ordinary skill in the art or are commercially available. Specifically, compounds of the formula V can be prepared by the method of Fray et al., (J, Org. Chem., 51^, 4828-4833 (1986)) using an (S)-aldehyde of the formula
VII
Compounds of the formula VII are prepared by reducing amino acids or amino esters to alcohols (Stanfield et al., J. Org. Chem. 46, 4799-4800 (1981), Soai et al., Bull. Chem. Soc. Jpn., 57, 2327 (1984)) followed by oxidation of the alcohols to aldehydes of the formula VII (Luly et al., J.Org. Chem., 53 (26), 6109-6112 (1988) and Denis et al., J Org, Chem., 56 (24), 6939-6942 (1991).). Un-natural amino acids can be prepared according to the method of Myers et al., Tet. Lett. 36, (1995) and Myers et al. J, Am. Chem, Soc., 117, 8488-8489 (1995).
Alternatively, compounds of the formula V can also be made by the method of
DeCamp et al., (Tetrahedron Lett., 32, 1867 (1991)).
Unless indicated otherwise, the pressure of each of the above reactions is not critical. Generally, the reactions will be conducted at a pressure of about one to about three atmospheres, preferably at ambient pressure (about one atmosphere).
The compounds of the formula I which are basic in nature are capable of forming a wide variety of different salts with various inorganic and organic acids. Although such salts must be pharmaceutically acceptable for administration to animals, it is often desirable in practice to initially isolate a compound of the formula I from the reaction mixture as a pharmaceutically unacceptable salt and then simply convert the latter back to the free base compound by treatment with an alkaline reagent, and subsequently convert the free base to a pharmaceutically acceptable acid addition salt. The acid addition salts of the base
AP/P/ 9 9/01457

-105 compounds of this invention are readily prepared by treating the base compound with a substantially equivalent amount of the chosen mineral or organic acid in an aqueous solvent’ medium or in a suitable organic solvent such as methanol or ethanol. Upon careful evaporation of the solvent, the desired solid salt is obtained.
The acids which are used to prepare the pharmaceutically acceptable acid addition 10 salts of the base compounds of this invention are those which form non-toxic acid addition salts, i.e., salts containing pharmacologically acceptable anions, such as hydrochloride, hydrobromide, hydroiodide, nitrate, sulfate or bisulfate, phosphate or acid phosphate, acetate, lactate, citrate or acid citrate, tartrate or bitartrate, succinate, maleate, fumarate, gluconate, saccharate, benzoate, methanesulfonate and pamoate [i.e., 1,1'-methylene-bis-(2-hydroxy-315 naphthoate)] salts.
Those compounds of the formula I which are also acidic in nature, are capable of forming base salts with various pharmacologically acceptable cations. Examples of such salts include the alkali metal or alkaline-earth metal salts and particularly, the sodium and potassium salts. These salts are all prepared by conventional techniques. The chemical bases which are used as reagents to prepare the pharmaceutically acceptable base salts of this invention are those which form non-toxic base salts with the herein described acidic compounds of formula I. These non-toxic base salts include those derived from such pharmacologically acceptable cations as sodium, potassium, calcium and magnesium, etc. These salts can easily be prepared by treating the corresponding acidic compounds with an aqueous solution containing the desired pharmacologically acceptable cations, and then evaporating the resulting solution to dryness, preferably under reduced pressure. Alternatively, they may also be prepared by mixing lower alkanolic solutions of the acidic compounds and the desired alkali metal alkoxide together, and then evaporating the resulting solution to dryness in the same manner as before. In either case, stoichiometric quantities of reagents are preferably employed in order to ensure completeness of reaction and maximum product yields.
Compounds of the formula I and their pharmaceutically acceptable salts (hereinafter also referred to, collectively, as the active compounds) are potent antagonists of the CCR1 receptors. The active compounds are useful in the treatment or prevention of autoimmune diseases (such as rheumatoid arthritis, type I diabetes (recent onset), inflammatory bowel disease, optic neuritis, psoriasis, multiple sclerosis, polymyalgia rheumatica, uveitis, and vasculitis), acute and chronic inflammatory conditions (such as osteoarthritis, adult respiratory distress syndrome, Respiratory Distress Syndrome of infancy, ischemia reperfusion injury, and glomerulonephritis), allergic conditions (such as asthma and atopic dermatitis), infection

-115 associated with inflammation (such as viral inflammation (including influenza and hepatitis) and Guillian-Barre), transplantation tissue rejection, atherosclerosis, restenosis, HIV infectivity' (co-receptor usage), and granulomatous diseases (including sarcoidosis, leprosy and tuberculosis).
The activity of the compounds of the invention can be assessed according to 10 procedures know to those of ordinary skill in the art. Examples of recognized methods for determining CCR1 induced migration can be found in Coligan, J. E., Kruisbeek, A.M., Margulies, D.H., Shevach, E.M., Sfrober, W. editors: Current Protocols In Immunology, 6.12.1- 6.12.3. (John Wiley and Sons, NY, 1991). One specific example of how to determine the activity of a compound for inhibiting migration is described in detail below.
Chemotaxis Assay:
The ability of compounds to inhibit the chemotaxis to various chemokines can be evaluated using standard 48 or 96 well Boyden Chambers with a 5 micron polycarbonate filter. All reagents and cells can be prepared in standard RPMi (BioWhitikker inc.) tissue culture medium supplemented with 1 mg/ml of bovine serum albumin. Briefly, MIP-1a (Peprotech, Inc., P.O. Box 275, Rocky Hill NJ) or other test agonists, were placed into the lower chambers of the Boyden chamber. A polycarbonate filter was then applied and the upper chamber fastened. The amount of agonist chosen is that determined to give the maximal amount of chemotaxis in this system (e.g., 1 nM for MIP-1a should be adequate).
THP-1 cells (ATCC TIB-202), primary human monocytes, or primary lymphocytes, isolated by standard techniques can then be added to the upper chambers in triplicate together with various concentrations of the test compound. Compound dilutions can be prepared using standard serological techniques and are mixed with cells prior to adding to the chamber.
After a suitable incubation period at 37 degrees centigrade (e.g. 3.5 hours for THP-1 cells, 90 minutes for primary monocytes), the chamber is removed, the ceils in the upper chamber aspirated, the upper part of the filter wiped and the number of cells migrating can be determined according to the following method.
For THP-1 cells, the chamber (a 96 well variety manufactured by Neuroprobe) can be centrifuged to push cells off the lower chamber and the number of cells can be quantitated against a standard curve by a color change of the dye fluorocein diacetate.
For primary human monocytes, or lymphocytes, the filter can be stained with Dif
Quik® dye (American Scientific Products) and the number of cells migrating can be determined microscopically.
AP/P/ 99/01457
Λρ 00992
-12The number of cells migrating in the presence of the compound are divided by the number of cells migrating in control wells (without the compound). The quotant is the % inhibition for the compound which can then be plotted using standard graphics techniques against the concentration of compound used. The 50% inhibition point is then determined using a line fit analysis for all concentrations tested. The line fit for all data points must have 10 an coefficient of correlation (R squared) of > 90% to be considered a valid assay.
All of the compounds of the invention that were tested had IC 50 of less than 25μΜ, in the Chemotaxis assay.

The compounds of the present invention possess unexpected solubility that could not be predicted based on United States Patent Application 60/039169, filed February 26, 1997. Specifically, all of the compounds of the present invention have at least 13 fold better solubility than would be expected based on compounds from United States Provisional Application 60/039169. Specifically, quinoxaline-2-carboxylic acid (2(S)-hydroxy-6-methyl-4(R)methylcarbamoyl-1(S)-naphthalen-2-ylmdthyl-heptyl)-amide (Example 127), and N-1(S)benzyl~4(R)-carbamoyl-7-fluoro-2(S)-hydroxy-7-methyl-octy)-5,6-dichloro-nicotinamide (Example 247) both have solubilities of less than 5 pg/mL when assayed according to the kinetic solubility assay described below.
The following Examples illustrate the preparation of the compounds of the present invention. Melting points are uncorrected. NMR data are reported in parts per million (δ) and are referenced to the deuterium lock signal from the sample solvent (deuteriochloroform unless otherwise specified). Commercial reagents were utilized without further purification.
THF refers to tetrahydrofuran. DMF refers to Ν,Ν-dimethylformamide. Chromatography refers to column chromatography performed using 32-63 mm silica gel and executed under nitrogen pressure (flash chromatography) conditions. Low Resolution Mass Spectra (LRMS) were recorded on either a Hewlett Packard 5989®, utilizing chemical ionization (ammonium), or a Fisons (or Micro Mass) Atmospheric Pressure Chemical Ionization (APCI) platform which uses a 50/50 mixture of acetonitrile/water with 0.1% formic acid as the ionizing agent. Room or ambient temperature refers to 20-25°C. All non-aqueous reactions were run under a nitrogen atmosphere for convenience and to maximize yields. Concentration at reduced pressure means that a rotary evaporator was used. The names for the compounds of the invention were created by the Autonom 2.0 PC-batch version from Beilstein
Informationssysteme GmbH (ISBN 3-89536-976-4).
Solubility of the compounds was determined by a kinetic solubility assay such as described in Advanced Drug Delivery Review, 23, 3-25 (1997). One embodiment of the method described in Advanced Drug Delivery Review, 23, 3-25 (1997) is described below. One of ordinary skilled in the art will appreciate that solubitlity can be determined by many different methods.
Solubility of the compounds is determined at four fixed concentrations and is expressed as pg/mL. Solubility or insolubility is measured in phosphate buffer using a turbidometric plate reader by automated micro addition of a compound predissolved in DMSO. Solubilities at 50, 100, 200 and 250 or 100, 200, 400 and 500 micrograms/mL can be
APtri 99/01457
AP 00992
-155 determined by predissolving 1mg of compound in sufficient DMSO to reach an initial concentration of 20 or 40 pg/ uL.
A spectramax 250 UV transparent 96 well microplate is filled with 200 uL of Stock pH 7 phosphate buffer solution. A series of 25 absorption readings in a 5 by 5 matrix at a wavelength of 492nm are taken for each well in the microplate containing pH buffer alone.
This scan is to be used as a blank”, and the raw optical dispersion (OD) values are used as a baseline.
Compounds in DMSO solution are then added (column wise) down the microplate. Up to twenty four samples are assayed with each compound being placed in four contiguous wells column wise. Each column of the microplate contains four concentrations of compound in ascending concentration and ascending row order (A-D), or row (E-H). The volume of DMSO stock added to each well ranges from 0.25 to 1.25% of the buffer well volume. The plate is then shaken for 20 minutes to allow for mixing.

After compound addition, a second scan consisting of a series of 25 absorption readings in a 5 by 5 matrix are taken for each well in the microplate at the same wavelength as the first blank scan. The raw compound OD values for each reading in the 5 by 5 matrix are subtracted from the corresponding “blank” values in the 5 by 5 matrix to provide the raw solubility OD data.
Data obtained from the Tecan SLT Spectra Image Reader is then analyzed using a Visual Basic computer program (or can be calculated manually according to methods well known to those of ordinary skill in the art), so as to provide solubility data for each compound. The compound is considered to be out of solution when the absorbance value is greater than

-16three times the baseline value. All of the compounds of the invention had solubilities greater than 100pg/mL.
