Description

SWO96/20190 PCT/GB95/03027 -1- PIPERAZINE 2,5 DIONE DERIVATIVES AS MODULATORS OF MULTI-DRUG RESISTANCE The present invention relates to compounds useful as modulators of multi-drug resistance (MDR), to their preparation and to pharmaceutical and veterinary compositions containing them.
The resistance of tumours to treatment with certain cytotoxic agents is an obstacle to the successful chemotherapeutic treatment of cancer patients. A tumour may acquire resistance to a cytotoxic agent used in a previous treatment. A tumcur may also manifest intrinsic resistance, or cross-resistance, to a cytotoxic agent to which it has not previously been exposed, that agent being unrelated by structure or mechanism of action to any agent used in previous treatments of the tumour.
Analogc-. certain pathogens may acquire resistance to pharmaceutical agents used in previous treatments of the diseases or disorders to which those pathogens give rise.
Pathogens may also manifest intrinsic resistance, or cross resistance, to pharmaceutical agents to which they have not previously been exposed. Examples of this effect include a multi-drug resistant forms of malaria, tuberculosis, leishmaniasis and amoebic dysentery.
The above phenomena are referred to collectively as multi-drug resistance (MDR). As discussed more fully later on, a plasma membrane glycoprotein (P-gp) is implicated in the mechanism which underlies MDR. P-gp has drug binding properties. Certain agents which have the capacity to SSUBSTITUTE SHEET (RULE 26) i 'i iiil____i 7, WO 96120190 PCT/GB95/03027 2 modulate MDR may therefore also be useful in facilitating the delivery of drugs across the blood brain barrier, and in treating AIDS and AIDS-related complex.
Disadvaltages of drugs which have so far been used to modulate MDR, termed resistance modifying agents or RMAs, are that they frequently possess a poor pharmacokinetic profile and/or are toxic at the concentrations required for MDR modulation.
It has now been found that a series of piperazinedione derivatives have activity as modulators of multi-drug resistance. The present invention therefore provides a piperazinedione derivative of formula 1: 0 R1 NH R 3

5 and R 6 are preferably the same and are preferably C 1 C, alkyl, for instance methyl.
When RI is as defined under above, the phenyl group is unsubstituted or is substituted at one or more of positions 2 to 6. When it is mono-substituted it may carry the substituent at any one of positions 2 to 6, for instance position 3 or 4, especially position 4. Thus for instance, one of Ra to Re is other than hydrogen, preferably Rb or Rc, especially Rc. When the phenyl group is mono-substituted the substituent Ra to Re is preferably selected from a halogen, for instance chlorine, bromine or fluorine; a C,-C, alkoxy group, for instance OMe; and an acetamido group -NHAc in which Ac denotes acetyl.
The phenyl group may instead be 2,6-, 3,4- or 3,5- disubstituted, or 2,3,6- or 3,4,5-trisubstituted. When it is disubstituted, three of Ra to Re are hydrogen and two are other than hydrogen. For example Ra and Rb, or Ra and Rc, or Ra and Rd, or Ra and Re, or Rb and Rc, or Rb and Rd are other than hydrogen whilst, in each case, the other three of Ra to Re are hydrogen.
When the phenyl group is trisubstituted, two of Ra to Rc are hydrogen and three are other than hydrogen. For example, Ra, Rb and Rc, or Ra, Rb and Rd, or Ra, Rb and Re, or Rb, Rc and Rd are other than hydrogen whilst, in each case, the other two of Ra to Re are hydrogen.

Cancer cells which exhibit multi-drug resistance, referred to as MDR cells, display a reduction in intracellular drug accumulation compared with the corresponding drug-sensitive cells. Studies using in vitro derived MDR cell lines have shown that MDR is often associated with increased expression of a plasma membrane glycoprotein (P-gp) which has drug binding properties. P-gp is thought to function as an efflux pump for many hydrophobic compounds, and transfection studies using clone, P-gp have shown that its overexpression can confer the MDR phenotype on cells: see, for example, Ann. Rev. Biochem 58 137-171 (1989) A major function of P-gp in normal tissues is to export intracellular toxins from the cell. There is evidence to suggest that overexpression of P-gp may play a clinical role in multi-drug resistance. Increased levels of P-gp mRNA or SUBSTITUTE SHEET (RULE 26) j' I 1 8 L fI 7rCT WO 96/20190 PCT/GB95/03027 27 protein have been detected in many forms of human cancers leukaemias, lymphomas, sarcomas and carcinomas. Indeed, in some cases P-gp levels have been found to be increased in tumour biopsies obtained after relapse from chemotherapy.
Inhibition of P-gp function in P-gp mediated MDR has been shown to lead to a net accumulation of anti-cancer agent in the cells. For example, Verapamil a known calcium channel blocker was shown to sensitise MDR cells to Vinca alkaloids in vitro and in vivo: Cancer Res., 41, 1967-1972 (1981). The proposed mechanism of action involves competition with the anti-cancer agent for binding to the Pgp. A range of structurally unrelated resistance-modifying agents acting by this mechanism have been cescribed such as .amoxifen (Nolvadex:ICI) and related compounds, and cyclosporin A and derivatives.
Compounds of formula I and their pharmaceutically acceptable salts (hereinafter referred to as "the present compounds") have been found in biological tests to have activity in modulating multi-drug resistance. The results are set out in Example 5 which follows. The present compounds may therefore be used as multi-drug resistance modifying agents, also termed resistance-modifying agents, or RMAs. The present compounds can modulate, e.g. reduce, or eliminate multi-drug resistance.
The present compounds can therefore be used in a method of potentiating the cytotoxicity of an agent which is cytotoxic to a tumour cell. Such a method comprises, for it r .;i

Examples of such disease include multi-drug resistant forms of malaria (Plasmodium falciparum), tuberculosis, leishmaniasis and amoebic dysentery.
MDR modulators also have utility in the delivery of drugs across the blood-brain barrier, and in the treatment of AIDS and AIDS-related complex. The present compounds can therefore be used in a method of facilitating the delivery of drugs across the blood brain barrier, and in the treatment of AIDS or AIDS related complex. A human or animal patient in need of such treatment may be treated by a method comprising the administration thereto of cne of the present compounds.
The present compounds can be administered in a variety of dosage forms, for example orally such as in the form of tablets, capsules, sugar- or film-coated tablets, liquid solutions or suspensions or parenterally, for example intramuscularly, intravenously or subcutaneously. The present compounds may therefore be given by injection or infusion. The dosage depends on a variety of factors including S* 1 vf^w- WO 96/20190 PCT/GB95/03027 the age, weight and condition of the patient and the route *of administration. Typically, however, the dosage adopted for each route of administration when a compound of the invention is administered alone to adult humans is 0.001 to 50 mg/kg, most commonly in the range of 0.01 to 5 mg/kg, body weight. Such a dosage may be given, for example, from 1 to 5 times daily by bolus infusion, infusion over several hours and/or repeated administration.

After a four day incubation with doxorubicin prolifertion was measured using the colorimetric sulphorhodamine B assay (Skehan et al; J.Natl. Cancer Inst. 82 pp 1107-1112 (1990)).
The results are shown in Table 7.
Compounds which were shown to be able to sensitise AR cells to 0.86pM doxorubicin without high innate toxicity were selected for further study. Cells were cultured for four days with concentrations of doxorubicin over the range of 0.01 nM-50 gM in the presence of fixed concentrations of compounds of formula Proliferation was quantified as susTs SHjE
