This invention relates to 2,4-dioxo-pyrido~2,3-d]pyrimidine-3-acetic acids, The compounds are useful ~or the control of certain chronic complications arising from diabetes mellitus (e.g., diabetic cataracts, retinopathy and neuropathy`. The present invention also relates to pharmaceutical compositions comprising such compounds and to the use of such compounds in treating complications 2risins from diabetos mellitus.
Past attempts to obtain new and better orai antidiabetic agents have, ,or the most part, involved an endeavor to synthesize new compounds that lower blood sugar levels. More recently, several studies have been conducted concerning the effect of various organic compounds in preventing or arresting certain chronic complications of diabetes, such as diabetic cataracts, neuropathy and retinopathy, etc. For instance, K. Sestanj et al. in U.S.
Patent No. 3,821,383 disclose that certain aldose reductase inhibitors like 1,3-dioxo-lH-benz~d,e]isoquinoline-2(3H)-acetic acid and some closely-related derivatives thereof are useful for these purposes even though they are not known to be hypoglycemic. These compounds function by inhibiting the activity of the enzyme aldose reductase, which is primarily responsible for catalyzing the reduction of aldoses tlike glucose and galactose) to the corresponding polyols (such as sorbitol and galactitol) in the human body. In this way, unwanted accumulations of galactitol in the lens of galactosemic subjects and of sorbitol in the lens, retina, ; peripheral nervous system and kidney of diabetic subjects are prevented or reduced. As a result, these compounds control certain chronic diabetic complications, including those of an ocular nature, since it is already known in the art that the presence of polyols in the lens of the eye leads to cataract formation and concomitant loss of lens clarity.

Such reagents wh,ich may be useful for this transformation are those which are often employed by those skilled in the art for converting carboxylic acid esters to the corresponding carboxylic acids and may include sodium or potassium hydroxides, hydrochloric acid, trifluoroacetic acid and the like. These reagents may be used in the presence or absence of a reaction-in2.. solvent such as water, lower alcohol, lower ether or cyclic ether, or an organic acid (such as acPtic acid). A solution of sodium hydro~ide in wa.er is preferred for tnis step.
Furthermore, these reactions may be carried out at a temperature that is in the range of aboul 0C up to the boiling point of the solvent employed, and is preferably conducted in the range of about 20C to about 40C.
Isolation of the desired products of formula I may be effected by adjusting the pH of the reaction mixture to within the range of about 1 to about 7, followed by filtration of the precipitated acidic product I or by extraction of the crude product into a water-immiscible solvent which may be subsequently dried and evaporated to obtain product acid I. Further purification may then be accomplished by crystallization/recrystallization of the crude product I from a suitable solvent system or by chromatographic methods.
The appropriately substituted carboxylic acid esters of formula VI ~in which Q Rl and R2 are as previously defined), the immediate precursors to the title co~pounds of formula I, are themselves all novel compounds and are readily prepared by the N-alkylation of the N-l unsubstituted compounds of formula V by analogy with methods reported in the scientific literature and familiar to those skilled in ,^ the art. Thus, the intermediates of formula V, which possess a removable hydrogen atom at the 1-position of the pyrido~2,3-d~pyrimidineacetate may be alkylated with a variety of activated arylalkyl or heteroarylalkyl compounds ,' , .

This particular reaction is normally carried out in tbe presence of a base condensing agent, such as an alkali metal hydride, alkanoate or amide, or an alkali metal-alkyl or metal-aryl compound, as the case may be.
Furthermore, the reaction is usually conducted in a rPaction-inert organic solvent, preferably using ~,N-di-(lower al~yl) lower alXanoamide for the best results;
preferred agents in this connection would include sodium hydride as the bas2 condensing agent and N,N-dimethylformamide as the solvent. In general, substantially eauimolar quantities of the reactants are employed. The preferred temperature range is from about oc up to about the boiling point of the solvent employed for a period of about O.5 hours to about 48 hours. In practice, the reaction is usually conducted at room temperature for a period of time which is often less than 24 hours. In addition, while this reaction may be conducted at pressures up to 5 atmospheres, in practice it is adequate to perform this step at atmospheric pressure, usually under an inert atmosphere such as nitrogen or argon gas and with suitable exclusion of moisture which could decrease the yield of intermediate product VI. Upon completion of the reaction, as determined using any of a variety of methods (such as thin layer chromatography), the desired N-l substituted esters of formula VI are recovered from the reaction mixture by the use of any number of standard tec~niques known to those skilled in the art. In practice, the reaction mixture is first diluted with water and the crude reaction product is then filtered (in the case of a precipitated solid product) or extracted into a suitable, water-immiscible solvent from which the crude intermediate of formula VI may be isolated by evaporation of the solvent to dryness.

Finall~, the N-1 unsubstituted esters of formula V are themselves novel compounds and they may be prepared by one of several methods reported in the scientific literature.
For examF'e, E. Papadopoulos (Journal of Heterocyclic Chemistry, 1981, vol. 18, 515) has described a procedure for the convPrsion of a ureido ester into a 2,4-quinazolinedio..~-3-ac2tic acid by treating the former with concent.at_d a~2onium hydroxide in ethanol at 25C. In the examples desc ibed within the present invention, the novel ureido esters of formula IV are similarly best converted to the compounds of formula V by the action of concentrated lS ammonium hydroxide in ethanol at 50C. The same ureido esters of formula IV are prepared by the condensation of the appropriate methyl nicotinate III with an ester of isocyanoacetic acid, this condensation taking place with equimolar amounts of the two components in the presence or absence of a reaction-inert solvent. In all cases, the compounds of formula III, the starting materials for the preparation of the uraido esters of formula IV are either commercially available or are readily prepared using methods and procedures found in the scientific literature.
Esters of the general structural type VI may be ~; isolated prior to conversion to the acids of structure I.
In instances when a different ester is desired, the acid I
may be esterified using any variety of procedures known to those skilled in the art of organic chemistry. For example, the acid I may be suspended in the appropriate C~-C6 alcohol and treated with a suitable inorganic acid (e.g., . hydrochloric acid or sulfuric acid) and then stirred under an inert atmosphere with the exclusion of moisture at a temperature within the range of room temperature to about the boiling point of the alcohol employed. The crude ester VI so obtained may be isolated by removal of the solvent W092/12979 2 ~ ~V Q3~ PCT/US91/0794~ ~
alcohol and purification by recrystallization, chromatography, distillation or other suitable technique.
The chemical bases which are used in this invention to prepare the aforementioned pharmaceuticall~ acceptable bas2 addition salts are those which form non-toxic base salts with the herein described 1-substitu~2d 2,4-dio~o-pyrido[2,3-d]pyrimidine-3-acetic acids, such as 1-(4-bromo-2-flurophenylmethyl)-6-chloro-1,4-dihydro-2,4-dioxo-3(2~)-pyrido[2,3-d]pyrimidineacetic acid. These part-cul2r r.~n-toxic base salts include thos2 d6,iv-d f,ro~ ~uc.
pharmacologically acceptable cations as sod um, ~o~assium, calcium, magnPsium~ etc. These salts can be easily preparPd by treating the aforementioned acid compounds with an aqueous solution of the pharmacologically acceptable cation and then evaporating the resulting solution to dryness, preferably under reduced pressure. Alternatively, they may also be prepared by mixing lower alXanolic 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 above. In either case, stoichiometric quantities of the reagents must be employed to ensure completeness of the reaction and maximum production of yields of the desired final base addition salts.
Also, salts of the title compounds may be prepared using pharmacologically acceptable organic basas to form the salts, these organic bases including compounds such as diethanolamine, meglumine, cyclohexylamine, dicyclo-hexylamine and the like. The salts derived from these organic bases may be prepared by combining the two reagents in essentially equimolar amounts in a suitable solvent from which the derived base addition salt can be isolated by virtue of its reduced solubility in the solvent system, or by concentration of the solvent system to dryness followed by crystallization/recrystallization of the crude salt in a suitable solvent system.
~092/12979 2 ~ 3ix P~T/US91/07943 The starting materials required for preparing the compounds of formula I are either known compounds which are readily available commercially or they are described in the literature or else they can easily be synthesized by those skilled in the art starting from common chemical reagents and using conventional methods of organic synthesis. For instance, 2-aminonicotinic acid is readily prepared from th~
known 2-aminonicotinonitrile (Beilstein, 22, 5~2).
The compounds of the formula I and the pharmaceutically acceptable salts thereof (hereinafter also referred to as the active compounds of the present invention) are readily adapted to therapeutic use as aldose reduc~a e inhibito-s for the control of certain chronic diabPtic complicatio~s, in view of their ability to reduce lens and peripheral nerve (e.g., the sciatic nerve) sorbitol levels in diabetic subjects. The active compounds of the present invention can be administered to affected mammals (including humans) by either the oral, topical or parenteral routes of administration. In general, these compounds are ordinarily administered in dosages ranging from about 0.50 mg to about 50 mg per kg of body weight per day, although variations will necessarily occur depending upon the weight and condition of the subject being treated and the particular route of administration chosen.
These compounds may be administered either alone or in combination with pharmaceutically acceptable carriers by the various routes previously indicated, and such administration :
can be carried out in either single or multiple dosages.
More particularly, the active compounds of this invention can be administered in a wide variety of different dosage forms, i.e., they may be combined with various pharmaceutically-acceptable inert carriers in the form of tablets, capsules, lozenges, troches, hard candies, powders, sprays, aqueous suspensions, injectable solutions, elixirs, syrups, and the like. Such carriers include solid diluents or fillers, sterile aqueous media and various non-toxic ,:, ' ..

organlc solvents. In general, the active compounds of the invention will be present in such dosage forms at concentration levels ranging from about 0.5% to about 90~ by weight of the total composition to provide the desired unit dosage.
For oral administration, tablets containing various excipients such as sodium citrate, calcium carbonate and calcium p~.osphate may b2 employed along with various disintegrants such as starch and preferably potato or tapioca starch, alginic acid and certain complex silicates, together with binding agents such as polyvinylpyrrolidone, gelatin and acacia. Additionally, lubricating agents such as magnesium stearato, sodium lauryl sulfate and talc are often very useful for tabletting purposes. Solid compositions of a similar type may also be employed as fillers in soft and hard-filled gelatin capsules; preferred materials in this connection also include the high molecular weight polyethylene glycols. When aqueous suspensions and/or elixirs are desired for oral administration, the essential active ingredient therein may be combined with various sweetening or flavoring agents, coloring matter or dyes, and if so desirPd, emulsifying and/or suspending agents as well, together with such diluents as water, ethanol, propylene glycol, glycerin and various combinations thereof.
For parenteral administration, solutions of the active compounds of the present invention may be prepared, taking into account the solubility of the compound or salt to be utilized. Thus, solutions in sesame or peanut oil or in aqueous propylene glycol or N,N-dimethylformamide as well as sterile aqueous solutions may be employed. Such aqueous solutions should be suitably buffered if necessary and the liquid diluent first rendered isotonic with sufficient saline or glucose. These particular aqueous solutions are especially suitable for intravenous, intramuscular, subcutaneous and intraperitoneal injection. In this ., . . ., . ~ , , .

~V092/12979 2 1 a ~ PCT/US91/n7943 connection, the sterile aqueous media employed are all readily obtainable by standard techniques well-known to those skilled in the art. Additionally, it is also possible to administer the compounds topically via an appropriate ophthalmic solution (e.g., 0.5-2.0%) applied dropwise to the eye.
The L'ility of the compounds of the present invention, as agPn.s for th~ control of chronic diabetic complications, may be predicted by measuring their ability to (1) inhibit the enzyme activity of isolated aldose reductase; (2) reduce or inhibit sorbitol accumulation in the sciatic nerve and lens of acutely streptozotocinized (i.e. diabetic) rats; (3) reverse 21rsady-elevated sorbitol levels in the sciatic nerve and/or lens of chronic streptozotocin-induced diabetic rats; (4) prevent or inhibit galactitol formation in the lens of acutely galactosemic rats, and/or (5) delay cataract formation and reduce the severity of lens opacities in chronic galactosemic rats.

Past attempts to obtain new and better orai antidiabetic agents have, ,or the most part, involved an endeavor to synthesize new compounds that lower blood sugar levels. More recently, several studies have been conducted concerning the effect of various organic compounds in preventing or arresting certain chronic complications of diabetes, such as diabetic cataracts, neuropathy and retinopathy, etc. For instance, K. Sestanj et al. in U.S.
Patent No. 3,821,383 disclose that certain aldose reductase inhibitors like 1,3-dioxo-lH-benz~d,e]isoquinoline-2(3H)-acetic acid and some closely-related derivatives thereof are useful for these purposes even though they are not known to be hypoglycemic. These compounds function by inhibiting the activity of the enzyme aldose reductase, which is primarily responsible for catalyzing the reduction of aldoses tlike glucose and galactose) to the corresponding polyols (such as sorbitol and galactitol) in the human body. In this way, unwanted accumulations of galactitol in the lens of galactosemic subjects and of sorbitol in the lens, retina, ; peripheral nervous system and kidney of diabetic subjects are prevented or reduced. As a result, these compounds control certain chronic diabetic complications, including those of an ocular nature, since it is already known in the art that the presence of polyols in the lens of the eye leads to cataract formation and concomitant loss of lens clarity.

These reagents may be used in the presence or absence of a reaction-in2.. solvent such as water, lower alcohol, lower ether or cyclic ether, or an organic acid (such as acPtic acid). A solution of sodium hydro~ide in wa.er is preferred for tnis step.
Furthermore, these reactions may be carried out at a temperature that is in the range of aboul 0C up to the boiling point of the solvent employed, and is preferably conducted in the range of about 20C to about 40C.
Isolation of the desired products of formula I may be effected by adjusting the pH of the reaction mixture to within the range of about 1 to about 7, followed by filtration of the precipitated acidic product I or by extraction of the crude product into a water-immiscible solvent which may be subsequently dried and evaporated to obtain product acid I. Further purification may then be accomplished by crystallization/recrystallization of the crude product I from a suitable solvent system or by chromatographic methods.

This particular reaction is normally carried out in tbe presence of a base condensing agent, such as an alkali metal hydride, alkanoate or amide, or an alkali metal-alkyl or metal-aryl compound, as the case may be.
Furthermore, the reaction is usually conducted in a rPaction-inert organic solvent, preferably using ~,N-di-(lower al~yl) lower alXanoamide for the best results;
preferred agents in this connection would include sodium hydride as the bas2 condensing agent and N,N-dimethylformamide as the solvent. In general, substantially eauimolar quantities of the reactants are employed. The preferred temperature range is from about oc up to about the boiling point of the solvent employed for a period of about O.5 hours to about 48 hours. In practice, the reaction is usually conducted at room temperature for a period of time which is often less than 24 hours. In addition, while this reaction may be conducted at pressures up to 5 atmospheres, in practice it is adequate to perform this step at atmospheric pressure, usually under an inert atmosphere such as nitrogen or argon gas and with suitable exclusion of moisture which could decrease the yield of intermediate product VI. Upon completion of the reaction, as determined using any of a variety of methods (such as thin layer chromatography), the desired N-l substituted esters of formula VI are recovered from the reaction mixture by the use of any number of standard tec~niques known to those skilled in the art. In practice, the reaction mixture is first diluted with water and the crude reaction product is then filtered (in the case of a precipitated solid product) or extracted into a suitable, water-immiscible solvent from which the crude intermediate of formula VI may be isolated by evaporation of the solvent to dryness.

Finall~, the N-1 unsubstituted esters of formula V are themselves novel compounds and they may be prepared by one of several methods reported in the scientific literature.
For examF'e, E. Papadopoulos (Journal of Heterocyclic Chemistry, 1981, vol. 18, 515) has described a procedure for the convPrsion of a ureido ester into a 2,4-quinazolinedio..~-3-ac2tic acid by treating the former with concent.at_d a~2onium hydroxide in ethanol at 25C. In the examples desc ibed within the present invention, the novel ureido esters of formula IV are similarly best converted to the compounds of formula V by the action of concentrated lS ammonium hydroxide in ethanol at 50C. The same ureido esters of formula IV are prepared by the condensation of the appropriate methyl nicotinate III with an ester of isocyanoacetic acid, this condensation taking place with equimolar amounts of the two components in the presence or absence of a reaction-inert solvent. In all cases, the compounds of formula III, the starting materials for the preparation of the uraido esters of formula IV are either commercially available or are readily prepared using methods and procedures found in the scientific literature.
Esters of the general structural type VI may be ~; isolated prior to conversion to the acids of structure I.
In instances when a different ester is desired, the acid I
may be esterified using any variety of procedures known to those skilled in the art of organic chemistry. For example, the acid I may be suspended in the appropriate C~-C6 alcohol and treated with a suitable inorganic acid (e.g., . hydrochloric acid or sulfuric acid) and then stirred under an inert atmosphere with the exclusion of moisture at a temperature within the range of room temperature to about the boiling point of the alcohol employed.

The chemical bases which are used in this invention to prepare the aforementioned pharmaceuticall~ acceptable bas2 addition salts are those which form non-toxic base salts with the herein described 1-substitu~2d 2,4-dio~o-pyrido[2,3-d]pyrimidine-3-acetic acids, such as 1-(4-bromo-2-flurophenylmethyl)-6-chloro-1,4-dihydro-2,4-dioxo-3(2~)-pyrido[2,3-d]pyrimidineacetic acid. These part-cul2r r.~n-toxic base salts include thos2 d6,iv-d f,ro~ ~uc.
pharmacologically acceptable cations as sod um, ~o~assium, calcium, magnPsium~ etc. These salts can be easily preparPd by treating the aforementioned acid compounds with an aqueous solution of the pharmacologically acceptable cation and then evaporating the resulting solution to dryness, preferably under reduced pressure. Alternatively, they may also be prepared by mixing lower alXanolic 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 above. In either case, stoichiometric quantities of the reagents must be employed to ensure completeness of the reaction and maximum production of yields of the desired final base addition salts.
Also, salts of the title compounds may be prepared using pharmacologically acceptable organic basas to form the salts, these organic bases including compounds such as diethanolamine, meglumine, cyclohexylamine, dicyclo-hexylamine and the like. The salts derived from these organic bases may be prepared by combining the two reagents in essentially equimolar amounts in a suitable solvent from which the derived base addition salt can be isolated by virtue of its reduced solubility in the solvent system, or by concentration of the solvent system to dryness followed by crystallization/recrystallization of the crude salt in a suitable solvent system.
~092/12979 2 ~ 3ix P~T/US91/07943 The starting materials required for preparing the compounds of formula I are either known compounds which are readily available commercially or they are described in the literature or else they can easily be synthesized by those skilled in the art starting from common chemical reagents and using conventional methods of organic synthesis. For instance, 2-aminonicotinic acid is readily prepared from th~
known 2-aminonicotinonitrile (Beilstein, 22, 5~2).
The compounds of the formula I and the pharmaceutically acceptable salts thereof (hereinafter also referred to as the active compounds of the present invention) are readily adapted to therapeutic use as aldose reduc~a e inhibito-s for the control of certain chronic diabPtic complicatio~s, in view of their ability to reduce lens and peripheral nerve (e.g., the sciatic nerve) sorbitol levels in diabetic subjects. The active compounds of the present invention can be administered to affected mammals (including humans) by either the oral, topical or parenteral routes of administration. In general, these compounds are ordinarily administered in dosages ranging from about 0.50 mg to about 50 mg per kg of body weight per day, although variations will necessarily occur depending upon the weight and condition of the subject being treated and the particular route of administration chosen.
These compounds may be administered either alone or in combination with pharmaceutically acceptable carriers by the various routes previously indicated, and such administration :
can be carried out in either single or multiple dosages.
More particularly, the active compounds of this invention can be administered in a wide variety of different dosage forms, i.e., they may be combined with various pharmaceutically-acceptable inert carriers in the form of tablets, capsules, lozenges, troches, hard candies, powders, sprays, aqueous suspensions, injectable solutions, elixirs, syrups, and the like. Such carriers include solid diluents or fillers, sterile aqueous media and various non-toxic ,:, ' ..

organlc solvents. In general, the active compounds of the invention will be present in such dosage forms at concentration levels ranging from about 0.5% to about 90~ by weight of the total composition to provide the desired unit dosage.
For oral administration, tablets containing various excipients such as sodium citrate, calcium carbonate and calcium p~.osphate may b2 employed along with various disintegrants such as starch and preferably potato or tapioca starch, alginic acid and certain complex silicates, together with binding agents such as polyvinylpyrrolidone, gelatin and acacia. Additionally, lubricating agents such as magnesium stearato, sodium lauryl sulfate and talc are often very useful for tabletting purposes. Solid compositions of a similar type may also be employed as fillers in soft and hard-filled gelatin capsules; preferred materials in this connection also include the high molecular weight polyethylene glycols. When aqueous suspensions and/or elixirs are desired for oral administration, the essential active ingredient therein may be combined with various sweetening or flavoring agents, coloring matter or dyes, and if so desirPd, emulsifying and/or suspending agents as well, together with such diluents as water, ethanol, propylene glycol, glycerin and various combinations thereof.
For parenteral administration, solutions of the active compounds of the present invention may be prepared, taking into account the solubility of the compound or salt to be utilized. Thus, solutions in sesame or peanut oil or in aqueous propylene glycol or N,N-dimethylformamide as well as sterile aqueous solutions may be employed. Such aqueous solutions should be suitably buffered if necessary and the liquid diluent first rendered isotonic with sufficient saline or glucose. These particular aqueous solutions are especially suitable for intravenous, intramuscular, subcutaneous and intraperitoneal injection. In this ., . . ., . ~ , , .
