Description

Pharmaceutical preparations containing sulfonamides, novel sulfonamides and processes for their production The present invention concerns pharmaceutical agents which contain sulfonamides having the general formula I

~~ ~ _so2_y in which R1 and R2, which can be the same or different, denote a hydrogen atom or a straight-chained or branched alkyl residue with 1 to 4 c atoms, .
A denotes a straight-chained or branched alkylene chain with 1 to 5 C atoms, X denotes a hydrogen atom or a C1-C4 alkyl residue, and - 2 ~ 7 Y denotes a straight-chained or branched alkyl residue with 1 to 5 C atoms, an aralkyl or aryl residue whereby the aryl residue can be substituted once to three times in all possible positions on the ring by halogen, trifluoromethyl, C1-C4 alkyl, amino, C1-C4 acylamino, di(C1-C4) alkylamino or by nitro , provided that A can also denote valency if Y does not represent an aryl residue, as well as their pharmacologically safe salts.

Rl and R2 preferably denote hydrogen, methyl or the tert.-butyl group.

The bridge A is pre~erably -CH2-; -CH2 CH2-, or the -CH2-CH(CH3)-- -CH2-ctCH3)2 X preferably represents an H atom or a methyl group.

An aralkyl group preferably denotes benzyl or phenethyl.

An aryl group preferably represented by phenyl.

An isopropyl, n-butyl, benzyl or phenyl residue is particularly preferred for Y, whereby this can in turn be substituted in all positions once to three times by fluorine, chlorine, methyl, amino, acetylamino, dimethylamino or nitro.
-Benzene sulfonamides with an analogous structure whichdecrease atherogenic lipids are described in the European application EP-A-384 279.

In EP-A 4011, EP-A 255 728 and EP-A 325 245 hydroxyphenyl compounds having the general formula I are described as intermediate products for the production of pharmacologically active phenoxyalkyl carboxylic acids without there being a statement about their own pharmacological action.

Compounds of formula I with A=valency are described in other documents such as for example in US-A 3,737,316, FR-A 2,309,524 and FR-A 2,193,216 without a statement about a pharmacological action.

The compounds of the present invention have a strong antioxidant activity. The lipo~hilicity of this antioxidant group causes an acc:umulation of the compounds in the atherogenic low-density lipoprotein (LDL) and an e~fective protection of the sensitive components of the LDL against reactive oxygen species.
This results in a substantial reduction of the LDL
influx into the macrophagic foam cells since a prereguisite for the pathologically increased uptake of atherogenic LDL into the atheroma ~ells is their oxidative modi~ication.

Antioxidants are substances which - in general - cause a considerable delay in the oxidative processes in a product to be protected. Probucol~ is an antioxidant and potent antiatherosclerotic agent which has a hypolipaemic ef~ect in various animal species and in humans. It is a sterically hindered alkyl phenol which ~ g~'~J1 accumulatas in LDL. It has been shown in animal experiments that Probucol blocks the oxidative modification of LDL in the arterial wall and directly prevents atheroma formation because of the antioxidant activity t~. Steinberg et al., Amer. J. Cardiol. 57, 16 M (1986)).

The disadvantages of Probucol~ are the low absorption of the substance as well as the extremely long retention time in body tissue; the excretion of Probucol mainly takes place via the faeces (see M.N. Cayen, Pharmacol.
Ther. 29, 157 (1985)).

In addition compounds of the formula I lower the plasma lipids by blocking the intestinal absorption of cholesterol which results in a reduction of the intrahepatic pool of free cholesterol and correspondingly decreases the secretion of the dietary-dependent lipoproteins from the liver into the plasma.
The inhibition of cholesterol absorption is due to the inhibition of the acyl-coenzyme A-cholesterol transferase (ACAT) react~on. AC,AT catalyses the esterificatior1 of cholesterol in the enterocytes which is necessary in order to package cholesterol in the chylomicrons and to introduce them into the blood - -circulation via the intestinal lymph and thoracic duct.

The substances are readily absorbed and inhibit the ~CAT-dependent esterification of free cholesterol not only in the enterocytes but also in the cells of the atheroma itself. They thereby prevent their degeneration into xanthoma cells caused by overloading with cholesterol ester.

~ 5 ~ ~ Jt The compounds of formula I are used as pharmaceutical preparations in particular as antiatherosclerotic agents because of their stabilizing effect on lipoproteins.

Furthermore they act antibiotically - in particular anti-bacterially -, anti-inflammatorily, cytoprotectively as well as anti-asthmatically. However, they can also be used as inhibitors of reperfusion-dependent lipid peroxidation and as stabilizers of the "lung surfactant factor".

The production of compounds of formula I is characterized in that an amine having the formula II, in which Rl, R2, A and X have the meanings stated above is reacted with sulfonic acid chlorides having the formula III in which Y also has the meaning stated above. This is usually carried out at room temperature in a chemically inert solvent such as CH2C12, toluene or such like, preferably in the presence of an acid-binding reagent such as e.g. pyridine, triethylamine (e.g.
analogously to F. Muth in Houblsn-Weyl, Vol. 9, p. 613).

Alternatively sulfamides which are also substituted at the sulphone group can be alkylated with suitably substituted aralkyl halides to produce compounds having the formula I.

- 6 ~ 7 If the compounds obtained in this way having the formula I do not represent the final product, the residue X (e.g. CH3) can be additionally introduced at the sulphonamide nitrogen, if desired using alkyl halides (e.g. methyl iodide).

The required starting materials II and III are in general known from the literature, or can be produced in an analogous way by the usual methods (for detailed information see the examples).

If individual reaction products are not produced in sufficient purity, the crude products can be purified by crystallization or column chromatography.

The present invention also concerns new sulfonamides having the formula I' W- ~--A--N--SCIz - Y ( I l ) in which Rl and R2 denote in each case a tert. butyl group, A denotes a straight-chained alkylene chain with 1 to 5 C atoms or the group -CH2-CH(CH3)-X denotes a hydrogen atom or a Cl-C~ alkyl residue, and Y denotes an aralkyl or aryl residue whereby the aryl residue can be substituted once to three times in all possible positions on the ring by halogen, trifluoromethyl, Cl-C4 alkyl, amino, C1-C4 acylamino, di(Cl-C~) alkylamino or by nitro, : as well as their pharmacologically sa~e salts.

The following compounds of formula I' are particularly preferred:

4-chlorobenzene-sulfo-(3~5-di-tert.butyl-4-hydroxy)-phenethylamide (example ld) 4-chlorobenzene-sulfo-(3,5-di-tert.butyl-4-hydroxy)-benzylamide (example 2) N-methyl-4-chlorobenzene-sulfo-(3,5-di-tert.butyl-4-hydroxy)-benzylamide (example 3) ~, Benzylsulfo-(3,5-di-tert.butyl-4-hydroxy)-benzylamide (example 5.6) 2,4,6-tris-isopropyl-benzene-sulfo-(3,5-di-tert.butyl-4-hydroxy)-benzylamide (example 5.10) 2-[benzylsulfo-(3,5-di-tert.butyl-4-hydroxy)]-phenethylamide (example 5.13) 8 ~9~ 7 2-[2,4,6-tris-isopropyl-benzene~sulfo-[3,5-di-tert.butyl-4-hydroxy]-phenethylamide (example 5.17) 2-[3-trifluoromethyl-benzene-sulfo-(3,5-di-tert.butyl-4-hydroxy)]-phenethylamide (example 5.18) 3-[2,4,6-tris-isopropyl-benzene-sulfo-(3,5-di-tert.butyl-4-hydroxy)]-phenylpropylamide (example 5.25) 4-fluorobenzene-sulfo-(3,5-di-tert.butyl-4-hydroxy)-benzylamide (example 5.27) 2-[4-fluorobenzene-sulfo-(3,5-di-tert.butyl-4-hydroxy)]-phenethylamide (example 5.28) 2-[benzylsulfo-(3,5-di-tert.butyl-4-hydroxy)]-phenylpropylamide (example 5.32) 2-[(4-chlorobenzene)-sulfo-(3,5-di-tert.butyl-4-hydroxy)]-phenylpropylamide (example 5.37) The compounds of formula I can be reacted with the corresponding bases in order to prepare salts with physiologically tolerated organic or inorganic bases such as for example sodium hydroxide, potassium hydroxide, calcium hydroxide, ammonium hydroxide, methylglucamine, morpholine, triethylamine or ethanolamine. Mixtures of the acidic compounds with a suitable alkali carbonate or hydrogen carbonate also come into consideration.

For the production of pharmaceutical preparations the compounds having the general formula I are mixed in the 9 ~r~t~ r~

usual way with suitable pharmaceutical carrier substances, axomatics, flavourings and dyes and are for example formed as tablets or coated tablets or are suspended or dissolved in water or oil such as e.g.
olive oil with the addition of corresponding auxiliary agents.

The substances having the general formula I can be administered orally and parenterally in liquid or solid form. Water, which contains stabilizing agents, solubilisers and/or buffers which are usually used in injection solutions, is preferably used as the injection medium. Such additives are e.g. tartrate buffer or borate buffer, ethanol, dimethyl sulfoxide, complexing agents (such as ethylenediamine tetraacetic acid), high-molecular polymers (such as liquid polyethylene oxide) ~or the regulation of viscosity or polyethylene derivatives of sorbitol anhydrides.

Solid carrier materials are e.g. starch, lactose, mannitol, methyl cellulose, talcum, highly-dispersed silicic acid, higher molecular fatty acids (such as stearic acid), gelatine, agar-agar, calcium phosphate, magnesium stearate, animal and ~egetable fats or solid high-molecular polymers (such as polyethylene glycols).
Suitable preparations for oral application can contain, if desired, flavourings and artificial sweeteners.

The administered dosage depends on the age, health and weight of the recipient, the extent of the disease, the type of further treatments which may be being carried out at the same time, the frequency of treatments and the typa of desired effect. The daily dosage of the active compound is usually 0.1 to 10 mg/kg body weight.

Example 6 Pharmacological investi~ations The compounds of formula I cr I' are antioxidant sul~onamide analogues and inhibitors of cholesterol ester formation in the arterial wall for the treatment of arteriosclerosis.

a) The cytogenesis of atheromatosis Hypercholesterolaemia and syndromes o~
hypercholesterolaemia/hypertriglycerideaemia are risk factors for premature arteriosclerosis. The oxidative modification of lipoproteins in the arterial wall plays an important role in the pathogenesis of the arteriosclerotic lesion itself.
It leads to the release of mediators which act chemotactically and to the migration of macrophagocytic cells from the blood into the arterial wall. In the vessel wall there is a particularly intensive unregulated uptake of oxidatively changed low-density lipoprotein ~LDL) by macrophages. The concomitant increase in cholesterol in~lux and the load on cellular metabolism leads to an increase in intracellular cholesterol, an increase in the reacylation of cholesterol and storage of cholesterol esters which in turn lead to the formation of large cytoplasmic cholesterol ester depots and to the degeneration of these macrophages ("foam cells"). The foam cells are the cellular substrate of the atheroma and create the macroscopically visible strips of fat from which the fibrous plaque lesions develop as the disease progressas.

- 20 ~ 9~7 b) The basis for an antiatherosclerotic therapy_in disturbances of fat metabolism ~n antiatherosclerotic therapy oriented towards causal relationships is ideally based on three pillars- 1. a decrease in the pathologically increased level of lipid in plasma by diet and/or drugs, 2. an effective antioxidant protection in particular for the strongly atherogenic LDL in order to reduce the oxidative LDL catabolism in the atheroma and 3. an inhibition of the formation of cholesterol esters in the foam cells of the early fat strip lesions.

Some agents which lower serum cholesterol act by contracting the hepatic pool of free cholesterol and increasing the catabolism of the atherogenic LDL cholesterol: ion excha;ngers interfere for example with the enterhepatic cholesterol circulation, cause a depleltion of bile acids in the hepatocytes and stimulate the u~take of choles~erol from the plasma compartment by an increased hepatic uptake of cholesterol via LDL and the hepatic apo B,E receptors (LDL receptors). The blockers of cholesterol synthesis, e.g. Lovastatin, act in a similar manner. They decrease hepatic cholesterol and also cause an increased uptake of LDL
cholesterol from the plasma by means of an increase in LDL receptors.

Blockers of cholesterol absorption also cause a lowering of the hepatic cholesterol pool by reducing the exogenous dietary load of cholesterol.
Examples of this are the so-called acyl CoA:
cholesterol acyl transferase (ACAT) inhibitors - 21 ~ 7 which suppress the cholesterol efflux via chylomicrons in the enterocytes by inhibiting the estarification of free cholesterol. In the liver these inhibitors of cholesterol ester formation in addition increase free cholesterol and endogenous hepatic cholesterol biosynthesis is indirectly inhibited by end-product inhibition. In the foam cells of the atheroma the blocking of cholesterol ester formation causes increased free cholesterol to be incorporated into the "reverse cholesterol transport pathway" of the high-density lipoproteins (HDL) and as a consequence this produces an additional direct antiatherogenic effect.

Antioxidants are substances which - when viewed in general - cause a substantial retardation oP the oxidative processes in a product which is to be protected. A potent antiatherosclerotically effective antioxidant is Probucol which, apart from its antioxidant action, has a hypolipidaemic action in various animal species and in humans. It is a sterically hindered alkyl ,phenol which accumulates in LDL. It has been shown in animal experiments that Probucol blocks the substantially increased oxidative modification of :LDL in atherosclerotic lesi~ns of the arterial wall and as an antioxidant strongly inhibits atheroma formation by retarding the catabolism of LDL cholesterol in the foam cells.

c) Amino substitu ~L~henols with an antiatherogenic actlon The compounds of formula I and I' fulfil all three aforementioned requirements for an effective pharmaceutial agent against premature atheromatosis and progressive arteriosclerosis since they act hypolipidaemically (Table 1) and exhibit a direct antiatherosclerotic activity in the atheroma by inhibition of cholesterol ester formation (Table 2) as well as by their antioxidative activities in LDL
(Table 2~ and in opposition to cellular lipoxygenases (Table 2).

d) Dose-dependent effect of the compound ~rom example 5.28 on the serum cholesterol level in rats with dietary induced hypercholesterolaemia.

Method:

SD rats weighing 220-250 ~ received a standard diet for 4 days which was enriched with 2 %
cholesterol/0.2 % cholic acid. The animals were ; intubated daily between 8 and 9 o'clock and received the stated single doses via a stomach tube in 2 ml vegetable oil. S-cholesterol was determined on day 5 (test kit ~rom Boehringer Mannheim Co.).

and I' Inhibition of cholesterol ester formation in macrophages (according to Huber et al. (1990) Free Rad. Res~ Comms. 8, 167-173):

Human plasma LDL was isolated by sequential ultracentrifugatioll at preselected densities from the plasma of healthy male non-smokers and incubated for 5 hours at 37C in F-10 medium + 1 ~M
Cu(II) to deplete its lipophilic antioxidants. The formation of cholesterol esters in P 388 D.1 macrophages under the influence of conditioned human plasma LDL was measured after incubating the cells (2 x 196/ml) for 18 hours in F-10 medium + 1 ~M Cu(II) + 50 ~g/ml LDL + 5 % FCS and after extracting the neutral fats by thin layar chromatography.

Reference substance: 10 ~M Probucol, 25-42 % (n=7) _ inhibition of cholesterol formation.

2~968~7 Stabilization of plasma LDL (according to Huber et al. (1990) Free Rad. Res. Comms. 8, 167-173):

LDL (125 ~g protein/ml) was oxidized at ~2C in 20 mM Tris-Cl pH 8, 150 mM NaCl, 10 ~M CuCl2 with and without the test compound (dissolved in ethanol, final ethanol concentration 0.5 %). In each case 3 molecules of test substan~e were used per L~L particle. The oxidation was monitored continuously by photometry at A 234 by measuring the diene formation. The so-called "lag phase" is defined as that time interval which is given by the intersection of the tangent to the curve during the propagation reaction of the lipid peroxidation with the time axis.

Reference substance: Probucol, 3 molecules/LDL
particle prolong the lag phase of LDL by 10 ~.

Inhibition o~ soya bean liPoxy~enase (15-li~oxygenase) w~ LDL as substrate (according to Cathcart et al. (1991) J. Lipid Res. 32, 63-70):

LDL (100 ~g protein/ml) was incubated at 37C in 20 mM Tris-Cl pH 8.3, 150 mM NaCl with and without the test substance (dissolved in ethanol, final ethanol concentration 0.5 %) with 5000 U/2 ml soya bean lipoxygenase (Sigma, Munich): The oxidation was monitored continuously by measuring the dienes at A 234. The stated IC50 value is that concentration of the test compound which leads to a halving of the diene formation in the test mixture which is linear over time.
