Description

Heterocyclically-Substituted Pentanol Derivatives, Process for their Production and their Use as Anti-inflammatory Agents The invention relates to heterocyclically-substituted pentanol derivatives, in particular pentanol derivatives that are substituted by quinazoline, quinoxaline, cinnoline, indazole, phthalazine, naphthyridine, benzothiazole, dihydroindolone, dihydroisoindolone, benzimidazole or indole, process for their production and their use as anti-inflammatory agents.
From the prior art of WO 00/32584, DE 100 38 639 A1 and WO 02/10143, anti-inflammatory agents of the general formula R' RZ HO R3 ~I) are known, whereby the Ar radical comprises phthalides, thiophthalides, benzoxazinones or phthalazinones. In the experiment, these compounds show dissociations of action between anti-inflammatory and undesirable metabolic actions and are superior to the previously described nonsteroidal glucocorticoids or exhibit at least just as good an action.
In addition, compounds in which Q represents an aromatic carbocyclic radical are known from W003/059899.
The selectivity of the compounds of the prior art compared to the other steroid receptors still requires improvement. however.
It was therefore the object of this invention to make available compounds whose selectivity is improved compared to the other steroid receptors.

This object is achieved by the compounds according to the claims.
This invention therefore relates to compounds of general formula I

R' RZ Ra A ~~~~0 -HO'' Ra (XI I) R8 means hydrogen, methyl or ethyl according to the substituents that are defined for the methylene group in B.
In the case that the compounds of general formula I are present as salts, this can be, for example, in the form of hydrochloride, sulfate, nitrate, phosphate, pivalate, maleate, fumarate, tartrate, benzoate, mesylate, citrate or succinate.
If the compounds according to the invention are present as racemic mixtures, they can be separated into pure, optically active forms according to the methods of racemate separation that are familiar to one skilled in the art. For example, the racemic mixtures can be separated by chromatography on an even optically active carrier material (CHIRALPAK AD~) into the pure isomers. It is also possible to esterify the free hydroxy group in a racemic compound of general formula I with an optically active acid. The diastereoisomeric esters that are obtained can be separated by fractionated crystallization or by chromatography. The separated esters are then saponified in each case to the optically pure isomers. As an optically active acid, for example, mandelic acid, camphorsulfonic acid or tartaric acid can be used.
The binding of the substances to the glucocorticoid receptor (GR) and other steroid hormone receptors (mineral corticoid receptor (MR), progesterone receptor (PR) and androgen receptor (AR)) is examined with the aid of recombinantly produced receptors. Cytosol preparations of Sf~ cells, which had been infected with recombinant baculoviruses, which code for the GR, are used for the binding studies. In comparison to reference substance ~[3H]-dexamethasone, the substances show a high to very high affinity to GR.
Moreover, the compounds of formula (I) substituted by quinazolines, quinoxalines, cinnolines, indazoles, phtlialazines, naphthyridines, benzothiazoles, dihydroindolones, dihydroisoindolones, benzimidazoles and indoles that are described here show a high selectivity for the glucocorticoid receptor. Example 2 thus shows, e.g., the following profile: ICSO(GR) = 1.8 nmol; ICSO(MR), ICSO(PR), ICSO(AR) > 1 ~mol, and the compound of Example 52: ICSO(GR) = 10 nmol; ICSO(MR), ICSO(PR), ICSO(AR) > 1 ~mol.
As an essential, molecular mechanism for the anti-inflammatory action of glucocorticoids, the GR-mediated inhibition of the transcription of cytokines, adhesion molecules, enzymes and other pro-inflammatory factors is considered. This inhibition is produced by an interaction of the GR with other transcription factors, e.g., AP-1 and NF-kappa-B (for a survey, see Cato, A. C. B. and Wade, E., BioEssays 18, 371-378, 1996).
The compounds of general formula I according to the invention inhibit the secretion of cytokine IL-8 into the human monocyte cell line THP-1 that is triggered by lipopolysaccharide (LPS). The concentration of the cytokines was determined in the supernatant by means of commercially available ELISA kits.
The anti-inflammatory action of the compounds of general formula I was tested in the animal experiment by tests in the croton oil-induced inflammation in rats and mice (J. Exp. Med. (1995), 182, 99-108). To this end, croton oil in ethanolic solutioW vas applied topically to the animals' ears. The test substances were also applied topically or systemically at the same time or two hours before the croton oil. After 16-24 hours, the ear weight was measured as a yardstick for inflammatory edema, the peroxidase activity as a yardstick for the invasions of granulocytes, and the elastase activity as a yardstick for the invasion of neutrophilic granulocytes. In this test, the compounds of general formula I inhibit the three above-mentioned inflammation parameters both after topical administration and after systemic administration.
One of the most frequent undesirable actions of a glucocorticoid therapy is the so-called "steroid diabetes" [cf., Hatz, H. J., Glucocorticoide:
Immunologische Grundlagen, Pharmakologie and Therapierichtlinien, [Glucocorticoids:
Immunological Bases, Pharmacology and Therapy Guidelines], Wissenschaftliche Verlagsgesellschaft mbH, Stuttgart, 1998]. The reason for this is the stimulation of gluconeogenesis in the liver by induction of the enzymes responsible in this respect and by free amino acids, which are produced from the degradation of proteins (catabolic action of glucocorticoids). A key enzyme of the catabolic metabolism in the liver is tyrosinamino transferase (TAT). The activity of this enzyme can be determined from liver homogenates by photometry and represents a good measurement of the undesirable metabolic actions of glucocorticoids. To measure the TAT induction, the animals are sacrificed 8 hours after the test substances are administered, the livers are removed, and the TAT activity is measured in the homogenate. In this test, at doses in which they have an anti-inflammatory action, the compounds of general formula I induce little or no tyrosinamino transferase.
Because of their anti-inflammatory and, in addition, anti-allergic, immunosuppressive and antiproliferative action, the compounds of general formula I
according to the invention can be used as medications for treatment or prophylaxis of the following pathologic conditions in mammals and humans: In this case, the term "DISEASE" stands for the following indications:

About 0.1 mmol of the methyl ether is introduced into about 3 ml of dichloromethane, and about 1 ml of a BBr3 solution (1 M in dichloromethane) is added.
It is stirred for 2 hours at room temperature, diluted with ethyl acetate, the solution is added to saturated NaHC03 solution, the phases are separated and extracted with ethyl acetate. The combined organic phases are washed with water and saturated NaCI
solution and dried with NaZS04. The crude product is crystallized from diethyl ether/hexane. Yields of about SO% are obtained.
