HOECHST ~XTIENGESELLSCHAFT HOE 90~F 295 Dr. FI/rh Description 4- or 5-sub~tituted pyridine-2-carboxylic acids, a proce~s for the preparstion thereof and the U8Q thereof a~ pharmaceuticals Compounds which inhibit the enzymes proline hydroxylase and lysine hydroxyla~e effect very æelecti~e inhibition sf collagen biosynthesis due to influencin~ ~ollagen-specific hydroxylation reactions. In the course thereof, protein-bound proline or ly~ine i-s hydro*ylated b~ the enzymes proline hydroxyla~e or lysine hydro~ylase respec-tively. If this reaction is suppressed by inhibitors, the resulting collagen molecule is unable to function, is insufficiently hydroxylated and can be released by the cells only in small amounts into the extracellular spase.
The insufficiently hydroxylated collagen i5 unable, moreover, to be incorporated ln ~he collagen matrix and is ve~y easily broken down by proteolysis. The conse-~uence of these effects is an overall reduction in the amount o~ collagen deposited in the extracellular spase.

It is known that inhibition of proline hydr~xyla~e ~y known inhihitor~ ~uch as ~ dipyridyl results în inhibition of Clq biosynthesis by macrophages (W. Muller et al., FEBS Lett. 90 (1978), 218; Immunobiolo~y 155 2S (1978), 47~. This results in the classical pathway of complement activation becoming inoperative. Hence in-hibitors of proline hydroxylase act as immunosuppres-sants, for example in Lmmune complex disea~e~.

It is known that the enzyme proline hydroxylase can be efficiently inhibited by pyridine-2,4- and -2,5-dicar-boxylic acids (K. Majamaa et al., Eur. J. Biochem. 138 (1984) 239-245). However, in cell culture, these com-pounds are effective inhibitors only in very high concen-trations (Tschank, G. et al., Biochem. J. 248 (1987) 2 ~ ~ 2 3~. ~J

625-633).

DE-A 34 32 094 de6cribes pyridine-2,4- and -2,5-dicar~
boxylic diesters with 1-6 carbon atoms in the ester alkyl moiety as pharmaceuticals for inhibition of proline hydroxylase and lysin~ hydroxylase.

These lower alkylate~ diesters h~ve the disadvanta~e, however, that hey are rapidly cleaved in the body to the acids and do not reach their ~ite of action in the cell in suf~iciently high concentration and thus are relatively little suited ~or pos~ible administxation a~
pharmaceuticals~ -DE-A 37 03 959, DE-A 37 03 952 and DE-~ 37 03 963 de-scribe in a general form mixed estersJamidas, higher alkylated diesters and diamides of pyridine-2~4- and -2,5 dicarbo~ylic acids which are effective inhibitor~ of collagen biosynthe~is in animal models. Thus~
DE-A 37 03 959 de~cribe~, inter alia, the ~ynthesi~ of N,N~-bis~2-methoxyethyl)pyridine-2,4-dicarboxamide and N,N'-bi~(3-i~opropoxypropyl)pyridine-2,4-dicaxhoxamide.

German Paten~ Applications P 38 26 471.4 and P 38 28 140.6 describe an Lmproved pro~e~s for preparing N,~-bis(2-methoxyethyl)pyridine-2~4-dicarboxamide.

German Pate~t Application P 39 24 093.2 proposes novel N,N'-bi~(alkoxyalkyl)pyridine-2,4-dicar~oxamides.

German Patent Application P 40 01 002.3 describes the u~e of di(nitroxyalkyl)amides of pyridina-2,4- and -~,5-dicarboxylic acids for preparing pharmaceuticals inhibit-ing proline hydroxylase and lysine hydroxylase.

Both pyridine-2,4- and -2,5-dicarboxamide (Hirakata et al.~ J. Pharm. Soc. Japan 77 ~1957) 219 and Haring et al., Helv. 37 (1954) 147, 153) and pyridine-2,4- and -2,5-dicarbohydrazide (Itai et al., Bl. Nation. Hyg.

JP 53/28175 (78/28175) de~cribes N,N'-~is(2-nitroxy-ethyl)pyridlne-2,4- and ~,5 dicarboxEm~des a~ ~ubstances with a vasodilator actios~.

German Patent Application P .. .. . ~ . (HOE 90/F 192 ) describes the u~e of 2,4- and 2,5-sub~tituted pyridine N-oxides for preparing pharmaceuticals :inhibiting proline hydxoxylase and lysine hydroxylase.

In Stage 2, the diester is selectively hydrolyzed in position 2, for example in th~ presence of a copper cataly~t as described by Delarge, ~.s Phar. Acta.
H~lv. 44 (10), 637 (1969~.

The free acid functionality in position 2 i5 sub~eguent-lyr in Stage 3, converted into the corresponding acid chloride and converted with an ~lcohol ~uch a~, for example, methyl or ethyl alcohol into the corresponding 2~arbo~ylic e~ter.

~ he remaining ben~yl protective group in positio~ 4 iiB in Stage 4 eliminated by hydrogenolysis (for example with H2~Pd, Houben-Weyl: Vol. IV/lc (1980~, pp. 381-82)/ and the free acid in position 4 is converted into its acid chloride.

The acid chloride can now be converted with the amine of the formula III in which Rl and R~ have the meaning a~ in the compounds of the formula I into the mixed py.ridine-4-carboxamide-2-carboxylic ester.

~he 2-carboxylic ester can now finally (Sta~e 6) be converted with alcoholic alkali (for example sodium hydroxide solution in ethanol) first into tha salt of the 2-carboxylic acid, which is then converted with mineral acids (such a~, for example, hydrochloric acid) into the compound of the formula I' according to the invention.

Suitable auxiliaries and excipients for the reguiredpharmaceutical formulation are, for example, besides solvents, gel former~, suppository bases, tableting auxiliaries and other active substance vehicles, also antioxidants, disper6ants, emulsifier6, foam suppres-sants, flavorin~s, preservativeæ, solubilizers or colorants.

The active substances can be administered orally, parent-erally or rectally.

Examples of inert excipients which can be used are ~um arabicJ magnesia, magnesium carbonate, potassium pho~-phate, lactose, glucose or starch, especially corn starch. The preparation can be carried out either a~ dry or as wet granules. ~xamples of suitable oily excip~ents or solvents are vegetable or animal oils~ ~uch a8 ~un-flower oil or fish liver oil.

For subcutaneous or intravenous administration, the active compounds are, if required, converted into a solution, suspQnsion or emulsion with the sub~tances suitable for this purpose, such as solubilizers, emulsi-fiers or other auxiliaries~ Examples of suitable solvents are physiological saline or alcohols, for example eth-ano~, propanol, glycerol, as well as ~ugar solutions ~uchas glucose or mannitol solutions, or else a mixture of the various solvents mentioned.
