Description

WO 99/01423 PCT/DK98/00287 1 GLUCAGON ANTAGONISTSIINVERSE AGONISTS Field of the invention 5 The present invention relates to agents that act to antagonize the action of the glucagon peptide hormone. It relates particularly to non-peptide glucagon antagonists or inverse ago nists. Background of the invention 10 Glucagon is a key hormonal agent that, in cooperation with insulin, mediates homeostatic regulation of the amount of glucose in the blood. Glucagon primarily acts by stimulating certain cells (mostly liver cells) to release glucose when blood glucose levels fall. The action of gluca gon is opposed by insulin which stimulates cells to take up and store glucose whenever blood glucose levels rise. Both glucagon and insulin are peptide hormones. 15 Glucagon is produced in the alpha islet cells and insulin in the beta islet cells of the pancreas. Diabetes mellitus, the common disorder of glucose metabolism, is characterized by hypergly cemia, and can present as type 1, insulin-dependent, or type 11, a form that is non-insulin dependent in character. Subjects with type I diabetes are hyperglycemic and hypoinsulinemic, 20 and the conventional treatment for this form of the disease is to provide insulin. However, in some patients with type I or 11 diabetes, absolute or relative elevated glucagon levels have been shown to contribute to the hyperglycemic state. Both in healthy animals as well as in animal models of type I and II, removal of circulating glucagon with selective and specific anti bodies has resulted in reduction of the glycemic level (Brand et al. Diabetologia 37, 985 (1994); 25 Diabetes 43, [suppl 1], 172A (1994); Am J Physiol 269, E469-E477 (1995); Diabetes 44 [suppl 1], 134A (1995); Diabetes 45, 1076 (1996)). These studies suggest that glucagon suppression or an action antagonistic to glucagon could be a useful adjunct to conventional antihypergly cemia treatment of diabetes. The action of glucagon can be suppressed by providing an an tagonist or an inverse agonist, substances that inhibit or prevent glucagon induced response. 30 The antagonist can be peptide or non-peptide in nature. Native glucagon is a 29 amino acid containing peptide having the sequence: WO 99/01423 PCT/DK98/00287 2 His-Ser-Glu-Gly-Thr-Phe-Thr-Ser-Asp-Tyr-Ser-Lys-Tyr-Leu-Asp-Ser-Arg-Arg-Ala-Gln-Asp Phe-Val-Gln-Trp-Leu-Met-Asn-Thr-NH 2 . 5 Glucagon exerts its action by binding to and activating its receptor, which is part of the Glu cagon-Secretin branch of the 7-transmembrane G-protein coupled receptor family (Jelinek et al. Science 259, 1614, (1993)). The receptor functions by activation of the adenylyl cyclase second messenger system and the result is an increase in cAMP levels. 10 Several publications disclose peptide antagonists. Probably, the most thoroughly character ized antagonist is DesHis 1 [Glu"]-glucagon amide (Unson et al., Peptides 10, 1171 (1989); Post et al., Proc. NatI. Acad. Sci. USA 90, 1662 (1993)). Other antagonists are eg DesHis',Phe*[Glu 9 ]-glucagon amide (Azizh et al., Bioorganic & Medicinal Chem. Lett. 16, 1849 (1995)) or NLeu 9 ,Ala 1 16 -glucagon amide (Unson et al., J. Biol. Chem. 269(17), 12548 15 (1994)). Peptide antagonists of peptide hormones are often quite potent; however, they are defective as drugs because of degradation by physiological enzymes, and poor biodistribution. Therefore, non-peptide antagonists of the peptide hormones are preferred. Among the non-peptide glu 20 cagon antagonists, a quinoxaline derivative, (2-styryl-3-[3-(dimethylamino)propylmethyl amino]-6,7-dichloroquinoxaline was found to displace glucagon from the rat liver receptor (Collins, J.L. et al. (1992) Bioorganic and Medicinal Chemistry Letters 2(9):915-918). West, R.R. et al. (1994), WO 94/14426 discloses use of skyrin, a natural product comprising a pair of linked 9,10-anthracenedione groups, and its synthetic analogues, as glucagon antagonists. 25 Anderson, P.L., U.S. Patent No. 4,359,474 discloses the glucagon antagonistic properties of 1 phenyl pyrazole derivatives. Barcza, S., U.S. Patent No. 4,374,130, discloses substituted disi lacyclohexanes as glucagon antagonists. WO 98/04528 (Bayer Corporation) discloses substi tuted pyridines and biphenyls as glucagon antagonists. Furthermore, WO 97/16442 (Merck & Co., Inc.) discloses substituted pyridyl pyrroles as glucagon antagonists and WO 98/21957 30 (Merck & Co., Inc.) discloses 2,4-diaryl-5-pyridylimidazoles as glucagon antagonists. These glucagon antagonists differ structurally from the present compounds.

WO 99/01423 PCT/DK98/00287 119 Pharmaceutical formulations and administration methods The compounds according to the invention, which may also be referred to as an active ingredi ent, may be administered for therapy by any suitable route including oral, rectal, nasal, pul monal, topical (including buccal and sublingual), transdermal, vaginal and parenteral (including 5 subcutaneous, intramuscular, intravenous and intradermal), the oral route being preferred. It will be appreciated that the preferred route will vary with the condition and age of the recipient, the nature of the condition to be treated, and the chosen active ingredient. The compounds of the invention are effective over a wide dosage range. A typical dosage is 10 in the range of from 0.05 to about 1000 mg, preferably of from about 0.1 to about 500 mg, such as of from about 0.5 mg to about 250 mg for administration one or more times per day such as 1 to 3 times per day. It should be understood that the exact dosage will depend upon the frequency and mode of administration, the sex, age, weight and general condition of the subject treated, the nature and severity of the condition treated and any concomitant 15 diseases to be treated as well as other factors evident to those skilled in the art. The formulations may conveniently be presented in unit dosage form by methods known to those skilled in the art. 20 For parenteral routes, such as intravenous, intrathecal, intramuscular and similar administra tion, typically doses are on the order of about 1/2 the dose employed for oral administration. The compounds of this invention are generally utilized as the free substance or as a pharma ceutically acceptable salt thereof. One example is an acid addition salt of a compound having 25 the utility of a free base. When a compound of formula I contains a free base such salts are prepared in a conventional manner by treating a solution or suspension of a free base of for mula I with a chemical equivalent of a pharmaceutically acceptable acid, for example, inorganic and organic acids, for example: maleic, fumaric, benzoic, ascorbic, pamoic, succinic, bis methylene salicylic, methanesulfonic, ethanedisulfonic, acetic, oxalic, propionic, tartaric, sali 30 cylic, citric, pyruvic, gluconic, lactic, malic, mandelic, cinnamic, citraconic, aspartic, stearic, palmitic, EDTA, glycolic, p-aminobenzoic, glutamic, benzenesulfonic, p-toluensulfonic, hydro chloric, hydrobromic, sulfuric, phosphoric or nitric acids. Physiologically acceptable salts of a WO 99/01423 PCT/DK98/00287 120 compound with a hydroxy group include the anion of said compound in combination with a suitable cation such as sodium or ammonium ion. The compounds of the invention may be administered alone or in combination with pharma 5 ceutically acceptable carriers, in either single or multiple doses. For parenteral administration, solutions of the novel compounds of formula I in sterile aqueous solution, aqueous propylene glycol or sesame or peanut oil may be employed. Such aqueous solutions should be suitable buffered if necessary and the liquid diluent first rendered isotonic 10 with sufficient saline or glucose. The aqueous solutions are particularly suitable for intravenous, intramuscular, subcutaneous and intraperitoneal administration. The sterile aqueous media employed are all readily available by standard techniques known to those skilled in the art. Suitable pharmaceutical carriers include inert solid diluents or fillers, sterile aqueous solution and various organic solvents. Examples of solid carriers are lactose, terra alba, sucrose, cy 15 clodextrin, talc, gelatin, agar, pectin, acacia, magnesium stearate, stearic acid or lower alkyl ethers of cellulose. Examples of liquid carriers are syrup, peanut oil, olive oil, phospholipids, fatty acids, fatty acid amines, polyoxyethylene or water. Similarly, the carrier or diluent may include any sustained release material known in the art, such as glyceryl monostearate or glyceryl distearate, alone or mixed with a wax. The pharmaceutical compositions formed by 20 combining the novel compounds of formula I and the pharmaceutically acceptable carriers are then readily administered in a variety of dosage forms suitable for the disclosed routes of ad ministration. The formulations may conveniently be presented in unit dosage form by methods known in the art of pharmacy. 25 Formulations of the present invention suitable for oral administration may be presented as dis crete units such as capsules or tablets, each containing a predetermined amount of the active ingredient, and which may include a suitable excipient. These formulations may be in the form of powder or granules, as a solution or suspension in an aqueous or non-aqueous liquid, or as an oil-in-water or water-in-oil liquid emulsion. 30 If a solid carrier is used for oral administration, the preparation may be tabletted, placed in a hard gelatin capsule in powder or pellet form or it can be in the form of a troche or lozenge. The amount of solid carrier will vary widely but will usually be from about 25 mg to about 1 g.
WO 99/01423 PCT/DK98/00287 121 If a liquid carrier is used, the preparation may be in the form of a syrup, emulsion, soft gelatin capsule or sterile injectable liquid such as an aqueous or non-aqueous liquid suspension or solution. 5 A typical tablet which may be prepared by conventional tabletting techniques may contain: Core: Active compound (as free compound or salt 100 mg thereof) Colloidal silicon dioxide (Aerosil) 1.5 mg Cellulose, microcryst. (Avicel) 70 mg Modified cellulose gum (Ac-Di-Sol) 7.5 mg Magnesium stearate Coating: HPMC approx. 9 mg *Mywacett 9-40 T approx. 0.9 mg 10 *Acylated monoglyceride used as plasticizer for film coating. For nasal administration, the preparation may contain a compound of formula I dissolved or suspended in a liquid carrier, in particular an aqueous carrier, for aerosol application. The 15 carrier may contain additives such as solubilizing agents, e.g. propylene glycol, surfactants, absorption enhancers such as lecithin (phosphatidylcholine) or cyclodextrin, or preservatives such as parabenes. Optionally, the pharmaceutical composition of the invention may comprise a compound of 20 formula I combined with one or more other pharmacologically active compounds, e.g. an an tidiabetic or other pharmacologically active material, including compounds for the treatment and/or prophylaxis of insulin resistance and diseases wherein insulin resistance is the pato physiological mechanism. Suitable antidiabetics comprise insulin, GLP-1 derivatives such as those disclosed in WO 98/08871 (Novo Nordisk A/S) which is incorporated herein by refer 25 ence as well as orally active hypoglycaemic agents such as sulphonylureas, e.g. glibencla- WO 99/01423 PCT/DK98/00287 122 mide and glipizide; biguanides, e.g. metformin; benzoic acid derivatives, e.g. repaglinide; and thiazolidinediones, e.g. troglitazone and ciglitazone, as well as PPAR and RXR agonists. EXPERIMENTAL 5 Glucagon binding: In the following section binding assays as well as functional assays useful for evaluating the efficacy of the compounds of the invention are described. Glucaqon Binding Assay (1) 10 Binding of compounds to the glucagon receptor was determined in a competition binding as say using the cloned human glucagon receptor. In the screening setup, antagonism was determined as the ability of the compounds to inhibit the amount of cAMP formed in the presence of 5 nM glucagon. 15 For full characterization, antagonism was determined in a functional assay, measured as the ability of the compounds to right-shift the glucagon dose-response curve. Using at least 3 different antagonist concentrations, the K, was calculated from a Schild plot. Receptor binding was assayed using cloned human receptor (Lok et al, Gene 140, 203-209 20 (1994)). The receptor inserted in the pLJ6' expression vector using EcoRI/SSt1 restriction sites (Lok et al) was expressed in a baby hamster kidney cell line (A3 BHK 570-25). Clones were selected in the presence of 0.5 mg/ml G-418 and were shown to be stable for more than 40 passages. The Kd was shown to be 0.1 nM. 25 Plasma membranes were prepared by growing cells to confluence, detaching them from the surface and resuspending the cells in cold buffer (10 mM tris/HCI), pH 7.4 containing 30 mM NaCl, 1 mM dithiothreitol, 5 mg/I leupeptin (Sigma), 5 mg/I pepstatin (Sigma), 100 mg/I baci tracin (Sigma) and 15 mg/I recombinant aprotinin (Novo Nordisk)), homogenization by two 10-s bursts using a Polytron PT 10-35 homogenizer (Kinematica), and centrifugation upon a layer of 30 41 w/v% sucrose at 95.000 * g for 75 min. The white band located between the two layers was WO 99/01423 PCT/DK98/00287 123 diluted in buffer and centrifuged at 40.000 * g for 45 min. The precipitate containing the plasma membranes was suspended in buffer and stored at -80*C until required. Glucagon was iodinated according to the chloramine T method (Hunter and Greenwood, Na 5 ture 194, 495 (1962)) and purified using anion exchange chromatography (Jorgensen et al, Hormone and Metab. Res. 4, 223-224 (1972). The specific activity was 460 pCi/pg on day of iodination. Tracer was stored at -18*C in aliquots and were used immediately after thawing. Binding assays were carried out in triplicate in filter microtiter plates (MADV N65, Millipore). 10 The buffer used in this assay was 25 mM HEPES pH 7.4 containing 0.1% human serum albu min (Sigma, grade V). Glucagon was dissolved in 0.05 M HCI, added equal amounts(w/w) of HSA and freeze-dried. On the day of use, it was dissolved in water and diluted in buffer to the desired concentrations. 175 pL of sample (glucagon or test compounds) was added to each well. Tracer (50.000 cpm) 15 was diluted in buffer and 15 p1l was added to each well. 0.5 p~g freshly thawed plasma mem brane protein diluted in buffer was then added in 15 gl to each well. Plates were incubated at 250C for 2 hours. Non specific binding was determined with 106 M glucagon. Bound and un bound tracer were then separated by vacuum filtration (Millipore vacuum manifold).

Syn., Coll. Vol. II, A.H.Blatt, ed., John Wiley & Sons, New York, 1943, p. 85; Org. Syn., Coll. Vol. IV, N. Rabjohn, ed., John Wiley & Sons, New York, 1963, p. 819) and is generally performed by stirring the corresponding ester (either methyl, ethyl or other lower alkyl ester) with 2-10 molar excess of hydrazine in the presence of a solvent such 20 as ethyl alcohol, methyl alcohol, isopropyl or tert-butyl alcohol or tetrahydrofuran, dioxane, DMSO, ethylene glycol, ethylene glycol dimethyl ester, benzene, toluene or a mixture of the above solvents or, in the absence of a solvent where excess of hydrazine acts as a solvent. The reactions are performed between OC to 1300C, preferably between 200C to 100 C, most preferably at or about the reflux temperature of the solvent. The reactions are preferably con 25 ducted under an inert atmosphere such as N 2 or Ar. When the reaction is complete as judged by disappearance of the starting ester by TLC or HPLC, the solvent may be removed by con centration at atmospheric or reduced pressure.
WO 99/01423 PCT/DK98/00287 128 The product can be further purified by either recrystallization from a solvent such as ethyl alco hol, methyl alcohol, isopropyl alcohol, toluene, xylene, hexane, tetrahydrofuran, diethyl ether, dibutyl ether, water or a mixture of two or more of the above. Alternatively, the product can be 5 purified by column chromatography using dichloromethane/methanol or chloroform/methanol or isopropyl alcohol as eluent. The corresponding fractions are concentrated either at atmos pheric pressure or in vacuo to provide the pure aroyl hydrazide. Preparation of aromatic acid hydrazides: 10 The methyl or ethyl ester of the corresponding aromatic acid, such as for example a substi tuted benzoic acid ester, is dissolved in ethanol and hydrazine (5 eq) is added. The reaction is refluxed overnight under nitrogen. Upon cooling the substituted hydrazide derivative usually precipitates. After filtration the product is usually recrystallized from hot methanol, ethanol or isopropyl alcohol. In cases where the hydrazide does not precipitate, the reaction is concen 15 trated under vacuo and chromatographed over silica gel using dichloromethane/methanol as the eluent. Specific examples illustrating the preparation of aromatic hydrazides are provided below. Preparation of 5-hydroxyindole-2-carboxylic acid hydrazide: 20 To a sample of ethyl 5-hydroxyindole-2-carboxylate (5g, 24 mmol), dissolved in ethanol (250 mL) was added hydrazine (4 mL, 121 mmol).

The reaction was stirred overnight under nitrogen and diluted with ethyl acetate. The organic layer was washed with saturated sodium bicarbonate, water, brine, and dried over MgSO 4 . Upon partial concentration of the solvent in vacuo, the alkylene WO 99/01423 PCT/DK98/00287 156 hydrazides usually precipitated. The alkylene hydrazides were further purified by recrystalliza tion from hot ethanol or ethyl acetate, or chromatographed using CH 2 Cl 2 /MeOH as an eluent. 5 EXAMPLE 9: 4-Hydroxy-3-methoxybenzoic acid (2-naphthylmethylene)hydrazide HO H3C'O 1 H NMR (DMSO-d 6 ) 5 3.66 (s, 3 H), 6.67 (d, J = 8.2 Hz, 1 H), 7.32 - 7.47 (m, 5 H), 7.74 (d, J 10 = 7.2 Hz, 1 H), 7.79 (d, J = 8.2 Hz, 2 H), 8.60 (d, J = 8.2 Hz, 1 H), 9.11 (s, 1 H), 11.80 (s, 1 H).

The compounds of formula 11 can also be prepared by parallel synthesis using the protocol mentioned above in a combinatorial approach. Thousands of compounds of formula I can thus 15 be prepared by this combinatorial approach which can be semi- or fully automated. The auto mation of this protocol can be performed using solution phase combinatorial chemistry in e.g. a 96 well setup using an automated synthesizer device. In the first step of the synthesis the al dehydes or ketones may be prepared according to Scheme I by a combination of a selected number of aldehydes or ketones with a selected number of alkylating reagents. In the second 20 step the formed aldehydes/ketones can be combined with a selected number of the hydrazides (which may be synthesized according to Scheme 1) thereby generating a predetermined very large number of compounds as single entities. The synthesized compounds mentioned above are examples of such compounds that can be 25 prepared using this combinatorial methodology.

R. in Org. Synth. Coll. Vol. V, 1973, 1055-1057, by slowly adding the arylsulfonyl chloride either neat, or in a solution in an inert solvent such as tetrahydrofuran, dimethyl ether, dioxane or diethyl ether to an excess of hydrazine, either neat or in solution in the one of the above solvents or a mix 10 ture of these at -200C to 100 C, preferably between 0C to 600C. When the reaction is judged to be completed, the excess of solvent and volatile reagents is removed by distillation either at atmospheric pressure or in vacuo. The residual product can be further purified by recrystalli zation from a solvent such as methyl alcohol, ethyl alcohol, isopropyl alcohol, water, toluene, acetic acid, dioxane, tetrahydrofuran or a mixture of two or more of the above solvents when 15 compatible. Alternatively, the product can be purified by column chromatography using dichloromethane/ methanol or chloroform/methanol or isopropyl alcohol as eluent.

The product can be further purified by either recrys tallization from a solvent such as ethyl alcohol, methyl alcohol, isopropyl alcohol, toluene, xy lene, hexane, tetrahydrofuran, diethyl ether, dibutyl ether, water or a mixture of two or more of the above. Alternatively, the product can be purified by column chromatography using dichloro methane/methanol or chloroform/methanol or isopropyl alcohol as eluent. 15 Step B: The resulting derivative of acetic ester is then saponified using methods well-known to those skilled in the art such as dissolving the compound in an appropriate solvent such as a lower alcohol (e.g methanol, ethanol or isopropanol), DMF, dioxane or DMSO and adding an aqueous base like lithium, sodium or potassium hydroxide. The reactions are performed be 20 tween 00C to 1300C, preferably between 20*C to 100*C. When the reaction is complete as judged by disappearance of the staring ester by TLC or HPLC, the solvent may be removed by concentration at atmospheric or reduced pressure. The product can then be isolated by pour ing the residue into water or cooled water and acidifying the mixture using an inorganic acid such as hydrochloric acid or sulfuric acid. The product can then be isolated either by filtration or 25 by extraction using a solvent such as ethyl acetate, toluene, dichloromethane or diethylether and the solvent may then be removed by concentration at atmospheric or reduced pressure. The product can be further purified by either recrystallization from a solvent such as ethyl alco hol, methyl alcohol, isopropyl alcohol, toluene, xylene, hexane, tetrahydrofuran, diethyl ether, dibutyl ether, water or a mixture of two or more of the above. Alternatively, the product can be 30 purified by column chromatography using dichloromethane/methanol or chloroform/methanol or isopropyl alcohol as eluent.
WO 99/01423 PCT/DK98/00287 231 Step C: The resulting carbonyl compounds are treated with an acylhydrazide in a solvent. The solvent may be one of the following: ethyl alcohol, methyl alcohol, isopropyl alcohol, tert-butyl alcohol, dioxane, tetrahydrofuran, toluene, chlorobenzene, anisole, benzene, chloroform, di chloromethane, DMSO, acetic acid, water or a compatible mixture of two or more of the above 5 solvents. A catalyst such as acetic acid can be added. A dehydrating reagent such as triethy lorthoformate can also be added to the reaction mixture. The reaction is performed by stirring the reaction mixture preferably under an inert atmosphere of N 2 or Ar at temperatures between 0*C to 140*C, preferably between 10*C to 80*C. In many cases the product simply crystallizes out when the reaction is completed and is isolated by suction filtration. It can be further re 10 crystallized if necessary from a solvent such as the above described reaction solvents. The product can also be isolated by concentration of the reaction mixture in vacuo, followed by col umn chromatography on silica gel using a solvent system such as chloroform/methanol or di chloromethane/methanol or chloroform/ethyl acetate. 15 Step D: The resulting acid is then coupled to a primary or secondary amine using one of the methods well-known to those skilled in the art. This coupling can be performed using one of the standard amide or peptide synthesis procedures such as by generating an active ester, an an hydride or an acid halide that can then react with the amine to give a compound of formula XI. Step D can also be done combinatorially with a selected number of amines. The product can 20 then be isolated either by filtration or by extraction using a solvent such as ethyl acetate, tolu ene, dichloromethane or diethylether and the solvent may then be removed by concentration at atmospheric or reduced pressure. The product can be further purified by either recrystallization from a solvent such as ethyl alcohol, methyl alcohol, isopropyl alcohol, toluene, xylene, hex ane, tetrahydrofuran, diethyl ether, dibutyl ether, water or a mixture of two or more of the 25 above. Alternatively, the product can be purified by column chromatography using dichloro methane/methanol or chloroform/methanol or isopropyl alcohol as eluent giving a compound of formula Xl. Specific examples illustrating the preparation of compounds of the general formula XI ac 30 cording to the invention are provided below.

The solvent may be one of the following: ethyl alcohol, methyl alcohol, isopropyl alcohol, tert-butyl alcohol, dioxane, tetrahydrofuran, toluene, chlorobenzene, anisole, benzene, chloroform, dichloro methane, DMSO, acetic acid, water or a compatible mixture of two or more of the above sol 15 vents. A catalyst such as acetic acid can be added. A dehydrating reagent such as triethylort hoformate can also be added to the reaction mixture. The reaction is performed by stirring the reaction mixture preferably under an inert atmosphere of N 2 or Ar at temperatures between 00C to 140*C, preferably between 10*C to 80*C. In many cases the product simply crystallizes out when the reaction is completed and is isolated by suction filtration. It can be further recrystalli 20 zed if necessary from a solvent such as the above described reaction solvents. The product can also be isolated by concentration of the reaction mixture in vacuo, followed by column chromatography on silica gel using a solvent system such as chloroform/methanol or dichloro methane/methanol or chloroform/ethyl acetate.
WO 99/01423 PCT/DK98/00287 262 Step B: The resulting acid is then coupled to a primary or secondary amine using one of the methods well-known to those skilled in the art. This coupling can be performed using one of the standard amide or peptide synthesis procedures such as by generating an active ester, an an 5 hydride or an acid halide that can then react with the amine to give a compound of formula XII. Step B was also done combinatorially with a preactivated acid and a selection of amines. The product can then be isolated either by filtration or by extraction using a solvent such as ethyl acetate, toluene, dichloromethane or diethylether and the solvent may then be removed by concentration at atmospheric or reduced pressure. The product can be further purified by 10 either recrystallization from a solvent such as ethyl alcohol, methyl alcohol, isopropyl alcohol, toluene, xylene, hexane, tetrahydrofuran, diethyl ether, dibutyl ether, water or a mixture of two or more of the above. Alternatively, the product can be purified by column chromatography using dichloromethane/methanol or chloroform/methanol or isopropyl alcohol as eluent giving a compound of formula XII. 15 Specific examples illustrating the preparation of compounds of the general formula XII accor ding to the invention are provided below.

The solvent may be one of the following: ethyl alcohol, methyl alcohol, isopropyl alcohol, tert-butyl alcohol, dioxane, tetrahydrofuran, toluene, chlorobenzene, anisole, benzene, chloroform, dichloro methane, DMSO, acetic acid, water or a compatible mixture of two or more of the above sol vents. A catalyst such as acetic acid can be added. A dehydrating reagent such as triethylort 15 hoformate can also be added to the reaction mixture. The reaction is performed by stirring the reaction mixture preferably under an inert atmosphere of N 2 or Ar at temperatures between 0*C to 140*C, preferably between 10*C to 80*C. In many cases the product simply crystallizes out when the reaction is completed and is isolated by suction filtration. It can be further recrystalli zed if necessary from a solvent such as the above described reaction solvents. The product 20 can also be isolated by concentration of the reaction mixture in vacuo, followed by column chromatography on silica gel using a solvent system such as chloroform/methanol or dichloro methane/methanol or chloroform/ethyl acetate.
WO 99/01423 PCT/DK98/00287 288 Step B: The resulting acid is then coupled to a primary or secondary amine using one of the methods well-known to those skilled in the art. This coupling can be performed using one of the standard amide or peptide synthesis procedures such as by generating an active ester, an an 5 hydride or an acid halide that can then react with the amine to give a compound of formula XIII. The product can then be isolated either by filtration or by extraction using a solvent such as ethyl acetate, toluene, dichloromethane or diethylether and the solvent may then be removed by concentration at atmospheric or reduced pressure. The product can be further purified by either recrystallization from a solvent such as ethyl alcohol, methyl alcohol, isopropyl alcohol, 10 toluene, xylene, hexane, tetrahydrofuran, diethyl ether, dibutyl ether, water or a mixture of two or more of the above. Alternatively, the product can be purified by column chromatography using dichloromethane/methanol or chloroform/methanol or isopropyl alcohol as eluent giving a compound of formula X111. 15 Specific examples illustrating the preparation of compounds of the general formula XIII accor ding to the invention are provided below.

The product can be further purified by either 5 recrystallization from a solvent such as ethyl alcohol, methyl alcohol, isopropyl alcohol, toluene, xylene, hexane, tetrahydrofuran, diethyl ether, dibutyl ether, water or a mixture of two or more of the above. Alternatively, the product can be purified by column chromatography using dich loromethane/methanol or chloroform/methanol or isopropyl alcohol as eluent giving a com pound of formula XIV. 10 Step B: The carbonyl compounds are then treated with an acylhydrazide in a solvent. The sol vent may be one of the following: ethyl alcohol, methyl alcohol, isopropyl alcohol, tert-butyl al cohol, dioxane, tetrahydrofuran, toluene, chlorobenzene, anisole, benzene, chloroform, dich loromethane, DMSO, acetic acid, water or a compatible mixture of two or more of the above 15 solvents. A catalyst such as acetic acid can be added. A dehydrating reagent such as triethy lorthoformate can also be added to the reaction mixture. The reaction is performed by stirring the reaction mixture preferably under an inert atmosphere of N 2 or Ar at temperatures between 0*C to 1400C, preferably between 10*C to 800C. In many cases the product simply crystallizes out when the reaction is completed and is isolated by suction filtration. It can be further recry 20 stallized if necessary from a solvent such as the above described reaction solvents. The pro duct can also be isolated by concentration of the reaction mixture in vacuo, followed by column chromatography on silica gel using a solvent system such as chloroform/methanol or dichloro methane/methanol or chloroform/ethyl acetate. 25 Specific examples illustrating the preparation of compounds of the general formula XIV accor ding to the invention are provided below.

The reaction can be performed at O*C to 1500C, preferably at 200C to 100*C and WO 99/01423 PCT/DK98/00287 323 preferably in an inert atmosphere of N 2 or Ar. When the reaction is complete the mixture is fil tered, concentrated in vacuo and the resulting product optionally purified by column chromato graphy on silica gel using ethyl acetate/hexane as eluent. The compound can also (when ap propriate) be purified by recrystallization from a suitable solvent such as ethyl alcohol, ethyl 5 acetate, isopropyl alcohol, water, hexane, toluene or their compatible mixture. The following step, the hydrazone formation is described above in general and below in detail. 10 Library Procedure for Indole Alkylation (Step A): Preparation of the sodium salt of the indole: Indole-3-carboxaldehyde (1.45 g) was dissolved into 8.6 mL of dry DMF in a dried and cooled 3 100 mL 3-necked roundbottom flask. 15 Evolution of large amounts of hydrogen gas occurs during this step. Care should be taken to keep the flow of inert gas steady and maintain adequate venting to accommodate the hydrogen gas evolution. While maintaining a steady flow of nitrogen or argon through the 3-necked round bottomed 20 flask, 1.1 equivalent of sodium hydride (0.27 g of dry 95% reagent) was transferred to the indole solution. The mixture was stirred for 15 minutes, while maintaining flow of inert gas. Proceeded promptly to the next step. Preparation of the alkyl halide solutions: 25 Amber glass vials (for preparing stock solutions) were dried for at least four hours at 110 0C, then were allowed to cool under an argon atmosphere in a desiccator. Alkyl halides solutions (1.0 M) were prepared in anhydrous DMF in the dried vials. Each alkyl halide solution (100 pL) was added to its corresponding well of a deep-well plate (1 x 88 x 1 for mat). 30 WO 99/01423 PCT/DK98/00287 324 Alkylation of the indole sodium salt: 100 pL of the 1.0 M indole salt solution was quickly delivered to each alkyl halide in the de ep-well plates. The plates were vortexed briefly to mix, then allowed to react for two hours. 5 Library Procedure for Hydrazone Formation (Step B): Acyl Hydrazone formation: 3-Chloro-4-hydroxybenzoic acid hydrazide (1.86 g) was dissolved in 5 mL of dry DMSO, followed by trifluoroacetic acid (0.77mL). The resulting solution was diluted to a final volu me of 10.0 mL. 100 pL of the 1.0 M acid hydrazide TFA salt solution was added to each 10 well of the deep-well plate. The plate was vortexed for one minute to mix, then allowed to react for 30 minutes. The products were purified by chromatography on silica gel with ethyl acetate/hexane elu ent. 15 The following compounds were prepared: EXAMPLE 528: 0 NJ_ o .NN H cl 20 1 H NMR (DMSO-D 6 ): 6 5.46 (s, 2H), 7.10 (d, J = 8.7, 2H), 7.20 (m, 2H), 7.28 (m, 5H), 7.51 (d, J = 7.53, 1H), 7.79 (d, J = 7.9, 1H), 7.99 (s, 1H), 8.01 (s, 1H) 8.33 (d, J = 6.96, 1H), 8.62 (s, 1 H), 10.9 (s, 1 H), 11.5 (s, 1 H); LRMS calcd for C26 H 2 4 Cl, N 3 02 (M - H) 402, found 402.1. 25 WO 99/01423 PCT/DK98/00287 325 EXAMPLE 529:

The solution was cooled to room temperature and used directly in the Suzuki coupling reaction. To the resin bound 3-chloro-4-hydroxybenzoic acid (3-bromobenzylidene)hydrazide (0.05 mmoles) was added a solution of cesium carbonate in water (1.25 M, 0.2 mL), a solution of 15 triphenylphosphine and tetrabutylammonium chloride in NMP (both 0.4 M, 0.5 mL), a solu tion of palladium (II) acetate in NMP (0.16 M, 0.25 mL), was mixed and the solution of 1-(2 benzo[1,3,2]dioxaborol-2-ylvinyl)cyclohexylamine in 1,4-dioxane/THF (prepared as described above) was added and the mixture was shaken at 70 0C for 15 hours. The resin was repeat edly washed with NMP (1.5 mL, 3 times), 50% water in DMF (1.5 mL, 3 times), NMP (1.5 20 mL, 2 times), 1% sodium diethylaminodithiocarbamate trihydrate (1.5 mL, 9 times), NMP (1.5 mL, 5 times) and CH 2 Cl 2 (1.5 mL, 6 times) for 2 minutes and filtered. The compound was cleaved off the resin by shaking for 45 minutes at room temperature with a 50% solution of trifluoroacetic acid in CH 2 Cl 2 (1.5 mL). The mixture was filtered and the 25 resin was extracted with CH 2 Cl 2 (0.5 mL). The combined CH 2 Cl 2 extracts were concentrated WO 99/01423 PCT/DK98/00287 359 in vacuo. The residue was dissolved in a 1:1 mixture of methanol and CH 2 Cl 2 (1 mL) and concentrated in vacuo to give the title compound. The final product obtained was characterized by analytical RP-HPLC (retention time) and by 5 LC-MS (molecular mass).

The RP-HPLC analysis was performed using UV detection at 254 nm and a Merck Hibar LiChrosorb RP-18 (5 im) prepacked column (Cat. No. 50333), which was eluted at 1 mL/minute. Two solvent systems were used: Solvent system I: 0.1% Trifluoroacetic acid in acetonitrile. Solvent system 1l: 0.1% 10 Trifluoroacetic acid in water. The column was equilibrated with a mixture composed of 20% of solvent system I and 80% of solvent system II. After injection of the sample a gradient of 20% to 80% of solvent system I in solvent system II was run over 30 minutes. The gradient was then extended to 100% of solvent system I over 5 minutes followed by isocratic elution with 100% of this system for 6 15 minutes.
