Description

NAPHTHYLEhIE DERIVATIVES AS CYTOCHROME P450 INHIBITORS
BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION
[ 1 ] The present invention is directed to novel heteroaryl-naphthalenyl-alkylamines, their salts, processes for their preparation, and compositions comprising them. The novel compounds of this invention are useful in inhibiting the cytochrome P450RAI enzyme (Cyp26) in animals, including humans, for the treatment and/or prevention of various diseases and conditions that respond to treatment by retinoids and by naturally occurnng retinoic acid.
[2J Retinoic acid, retinoid-like compounds, and pharmaceutical compositions comprising retinoic acid or rectinoid-like compounds as the active ingredient are known in the art to play a significant role in the regulation and differentiation of epithelial cells. Such regulatory and differentiating effects, which include the ability to promote cell differentiation, apoptosis, and the inhibition of cell proliferation, make retinoic acid and retinoid compounds useful agents in tumor therapy and in treating such conditions as skin-related diseases. Retinoids and retinoid compounds are known as agents for treating skin-related diseases such as actinic keratoses, arsenic keratoses, inflammatory and non-inflammatory acne, psoriasis, ichthyoses, keratinization and hyperproliferative disorders of the skin, eczema, atopic dermatitis, barriers disease, lichen planus; for preventing, treating, and reversal of glucocorticoid, age, and photo damage to the skin. Retinoids and retinoid compounds are also known as topical anti-microbial and skin antipigmentation agents. Retinoids, with their ability to serve as differentiating agents, redirect cells towards their normal phenotype and therefore may reverse or suppress developing malignant lesions or prevent cancer invasions altogether.
Therefore, retinoid compounds are useful for the prevention and treatment of cancerous and precancerous conditions, including, for example, premalignant and malignant hyperproliferative diseases such as cancers of the breast, skin, prostate, colon, bladder, cervix, uterus, stomach, lung, esophagus, blood and lymphatic system, larynx, oral cavity, metaplasias, dysplasias, neoplasias, leukoplakias and papillomas of the mucous membranes, and in the treatment of Kaposi's sarcoma. In addition, retinoid compounds can be used as agents to treat diseases of the eye, including, for example, proliferative vitreoretinopathy, retinal detachment, corneopathies such as dry eye, as well as in the treatment and prevention of various cardiovascular diseases, including, without limitation, diseases associated with lipid metabolism such as dyslipidemias, prevention of post-angioplasty restenosis and as an agent to increase the level of circulation tissue plasminogen activator. Other uses for retinoid compounds include the prevention and treatment of conditions and diseases associated with human papilloma virus (HPV), including warts, various inflammatory diseases such as pulmonary fibrosis, ileitis, colitis and Krohn's disease, neurodegenerative diseases such as Alzheimer's disease, Parkinson's disease and stroke, improper pituitary function, including insufficient production of growth hormone, modulation of apoptosis, including both the induction of apoptosis, restoration of hair growth, including combination therapies with the present compounds and other agents such as Minoxidil~, diseases associated with the immune systems, including use of the ' present compounds as immunosuppresant and immunostimulants, modulation of organ transplant rejection and facilitation of wound healing, including modulation of chelosis. Retinoid compounds have also been discovered to be useful in treating type II non-insulin dependent diabetes mellitus (NIDDM).
[3] Several compounds having retinoid-like activity are marketed under appropriate regulatory approvals in the United States of America and elsewhere as medicants for the treatment of several diseases responsive to treatment with retinoids.
Retinoic acid (RA) itself is a naturally occurnng retinoid, the biologically most active metabolite of vitamin A, is biosynthesized and present in a multitude of human and mammalian tissues and is known to play a crucial role in the regulation of gene expression, cellular differentiation, proliferation of epithelial cells, and other important biological processes in mammals including humans.
[4] Retinoids have demonstrated reversal of malignant growth in vivo and in vitro and are effective as chemopreventive agents. Retinoids could successfully be used to treat oral leukoplakia, a potentially premalignant mucosal lesion, and the occurrence of second primary tumors following head and neck squamous cell carcinoma (HNSCC) could be inhibited or delayed. These second primary tumors, which occur at an incidence rate of 2-3% per year, are a major cause of death after surgical resection of early-stage head and neck cancer. Retinoid therapy has also been explored in the treatment of glioma tumors, primary and metastatic melanoma cells, and has shown anti-metastatic activities in rat invasive prostate adenocarcinoma cells.
Retinoid leukemia therapy works through terminal differentiation and the eventual apoptotic death of leukemic cells and has been shown to result in complete remission in up to 90% of patients with Acute Promyelocytic Leukemia (APL).
[5] Although treatment with retinoids is highly successful in inducing complete remission in APL, if maintained on retinoids alone, most patients will relapse within a few months. The clinical use of retinoic acid in the treatment of cancer has been significantly hampered by the prompt emergence of resistance, which is believed to be caused by increased retinoic acid metabolism. Retinoic acid is metabolized by Cyp26A1 (Cyp26), an inducible cytochrome P450 enzyme, that inactivates RA by oxidation of RA to 4-HO-atRA, 8-HO-atRA, and 4-oxo-atRA. The tightly controlled negative feedback mechanism limits the availability of RA
and thereby limits its biological activity. Compounds have been identified that inhibit Cyp26 and therefore R.A metabolism and have shown to enhance the antiproliferative effects of RA and cause an increase in endogenous levels of RA in plasma and in tissues.
[6] Cyp26 inhibitors, also known as retinoic acid metabolism-blocking agents (RAMBAs), are known and include, for example, Liarozole (LiazalTM) and 8116010. Such Cyp26 inhibitors have demonstrated therapeutic benefits in dermatological and cancerous conditions in vitro, in vivo, and in clinical settings. In several preclinical tumor models, Liarozole displayed antitumoral properties which correlated with decreased endogenous retinoic acid metabolism and therefore, an increase in RA accumulation within tumor cells. In cancer patients, Liarozole has been shown to increase the half life of orally administered RA and 13-cis-RA.
Unfortunately, one of the limitations of Liarozole and many Cyp26 inhibitors described in the literature was their lack of specificity. Liarozole as well as other Cyp26 inhibitors inhibit other cytochrome P450-mediated reactions and are limited due to their lack of specificity towards other cytochrome P450 enzymes. This lack of specificity might explain the limited risk benefit ratio (the activity/toxicity ratio was considered insufficient by the FDA) observed in prostate cancer patients in the Liarozole phase III clinical trials. Therefore, there is clearly a need within retinoid therapy for Cyp26 inhibitors (RAMBA's) that are highly potent and selective that have greater selectivity to other cytochrome P450 enzymes, fewer side effects, and favorable drug-like properties including sufficient water solubility, bioavailability, sufficient pharmacokinetic properties, extraction ratios, and limited toxicity to balance the activity/toxicity ratio and for use in the treatment of various dermatological and cancerous conditions.
[7] The present invention shows highly potent and selective novel heteroaryl-naphthalenyl-alkylamines Cyp26 inhibitors that provide therapeutic benefits in the treatment or prevention of the diseases and conditions which respond to treatment by retinoids or are controlled by natural retinoic acid. The perceived mode of action of these compounds is that by inhibiting the Cyp26 enzyme (CP450RAI [cytochrome P450 retinoic acid inducible]) that has been proven in the art to catabolyze natural retinoic acid, endogenous retinoic acid level is elevated to a level where desired therapeutic benefits are attained. The endogenous levels of all natural and synthetic retinoids which are metabolized by Cyp26 would be expected to increase from inhibition of Cyp26 by the novel heteroaryl-naphthalenyl-alkylamines Cyp26 inhibitors described in this invention. Co-administration with a composition of the natural or synthetic retinoids with the compounds, or pharmaceutically acceptable salts thereof, disclosed in this invention can increase the level of retinoids. The co-administration of the natural and synthetic retinoids, which are catabolized by Cyp26, with at least one compound disclosed in this invention is a method for treating skin-related or cancerous diseases to yield higher endogenous levels of the retinoids. The compounds of this invention are active at nanomolar concentrations and selectively and potently inhibit enzymes involved in retinoic acid catabolism and therefore result in the effective modulation of desirable levels of atRA.

The compositions include compositions suitable for oral, rectal, topical, and parenteral (including subcutaneous, intramuscular, and intravenous) administration, although the most suitable route in any given case will depend on the particular host, and nature and severity of the conditions for which the active ingredient is being administered. The pharmaceutical compositions may be conveniently presented in unit dosage form and prepared by any of the methods well known in the art of pharmacy.
[226] In practice, the compounds represented by Formula I, or pharmaceutically acceptable salts thereof, of this invention can be combined as the active ingredient in intimate admixture with a pharmaceutical carrier according to conventional pharmaceutical compounding techniques.

In general, such methods include a step of bringing into association the active ingredient with the carrier that constitutes one or more necessary ingredients. In general, the compositions are prepared by uniformly and intimately admixing the active ingredient with liquid carriers or finely divided solid carriers or both. The product can then be conveniently shaped into the desired presentation.
[227] Thus, the pharmaceutical compositions of this invention may include a pharmaceutically acceptable Garner and a compound or a pharmaceutically acceptable salt of Formula I. The compounds of Formula I, or pharmaceutically acceptable salts thereof, can also be included in pharmaceutical compositions in combination with one or more other therapeutically active compounds.

For example, water, glycols, oils, alcohols, flavoring agents, preservatives, coloring agents, and the like may be used to form oral liquid preparations such as suspensions, elixirs and solutions; while carriers such as starches, sugars, microcrystalline cellulose, diluents, granulating agents, lubricants, binders, disintegrating agents, and the like may be used to form oral solid preparations such as powders, capsules and tablets. Because of their ease of administration, tablets and capsules are the preferred oral dosage units whereby solid pharmaceutical carriers are employed. Optionally, tablets may be coated by standard aqueous or nonaqueous techniques.
[230] A tablet containing the composition of this invention may be prepared by compression or molding, optionally with one or more accessory ingredients or adjuvants. Compressed tablets may be prepared by compressing, in a suitable machine, the active ingredient in a free-flowing form such as powder or granules, optionally mixed with a binder, lubricant, inert diluent, surface active or dispersing agent. Molded tablets may be made by molding in a suitable machine, a mixture of the powdered compound moistened with an inert liquid diluent. Each tablet preferably contains from about O.OSmg to about Sg of the active ingredient and each cachet or capsule preferably containing from about O.OSmg to about Sg of the active ingredi ent.
[231 ] For example, a formulation intended for the oral administration to humans may contain from about O.Smg to about 5g of active agent, compounded with an appropriate and convenient amount of carrier material which may vary from about to about 95 percent of the total composition. Unit dosage forms will generally contain between from about lmg to about 2g of the active ingredient, typically 25mg, SOmg, 100mg, 200mg, 300mg, 400mg, SOOmg, 600mg, 800mg, or 1000mg. /
[232] Pharmaceutical compositions of the present invention suitable for parenteral administration may be prepared as solutions or suspensions of the active compounds in water. A suitable surfactant can be included such as, for example, hydroxypropylcellulose. Dispersions can also be prepared in glycerol, liquid polyethylene glycols, and mixtures thereof in oils. Further, a preservative can be included to prevent the detrimental growth of microorganisms.
[233] Pharmaceutical compositions of the present invention suitable for injectable use include sterile aqueous solutions or dispersions. Furthermore, the compositions can be in the form of sterile powders for the extemporaneous preparation of such sterile injectable solutions or dispersions. In all cases, the final injectable form must be sterile and must be effectively fluid for easy syringability.
The pharmaceutical compositions must be stable under the conditions of manufacture and storage; thus, preferably should be preserved against the contaminating action of microorganisms such as bacteria and fungi. The Garner can be a solvent or dispersion medium containing, for example, water, ethanol, polyol (e.g., glycerol, propylene glycol and liquid polyethylene glycol), vegetable oils, and suitable mixtures thereof.
(234] Pharmaceutical compositions of the present invention can be in a form suitable for topical use such as, for example, an aerosol, cream, ointment, lotion, dusting powder, or the like. Further, the compositions can be in a form suitable for use in transdermal devices. These formulations may be prepared, utilizing a compound represented by Formula I of this invention, or a pharmaceutically acceptable salt thereof, via conventional processing methods. As an example, a cream or ointment is prepared by admixing hydrophilic material and water, together with about Swt% to about l Owt% of the compound, to produce a cream or ointment having a desired consistency.
[235] Pharmaceutical compositions of this invention can be in a form suitable for rectal administration wherein the carrier is a solid. It is preferable that the mixture forms unit dose suppositories. Suitable carriers include cocoa butter and other materials commonly used in the art. The suppositories may be conveniently formed by first admixing the composition with the softened or melted carriers) followed by chilling and shaping in molds.
[236] In addition to the aforementioned carrier ingredients, the pharmaceutical formulations described above may include, as appropriate, one or more additional carrier ingredients such as diluents, buffers, flavoring agents, binders, surface-active agents, thickeners, lubricants, preservatives (including anti-oxidants) and the like. Furthermore, other adjuvants can be included to render the formulation isotonic with the blood of the intended recipient. Compositions containing a compound described by Formula I, or pharmaceutically acceptable salts thereof, may also be prepared in powder or liquid concentrate form.
[237] Generally, dosage levels on the order of from about O.Olmg/kg to about 1 SOmg/kg of body weight per day are useful in the treatment of the above-indicated conditions, or alternatively about O.Smg to about 7g per patient per day. For example, dermatological diseases and cancers may be effectively treated by the administration of from about 0.01 to SOmg of the compound per kilogram of body weight per day, or alternatively about O.Smg to about 3.5g per patient per day.
[238] . It is understood, however, that the specific dose level for any particular patient will depend upon a variety of factors including the age, body weight, general health, sex, diet, time of administration, route of administration, rate of excretion, drug combination and the severity of the particular disease undergoing therapy.
BIOLOGICAL ASSAYS
[239] The efficacy of the Examples of the invention, compounds of Formula I, as inhibitors of Cyp26 were demonstrated and confirmed by a number of pharmacological in vitro assays. The following assays and their respective methods have been carried out with the compounds according to the invention. Activity possessed by compounds of Formula I may be demonstrated in vivo.
In vitro biochemicaE assay [240] The compounds of Formula I can inhibit CYP26 activity. In vitro biochemical assay was performed using microsomal preparations from T47D cells induced to express CYP26. Enzymatic activity was measured as the conversion of the radiolabeled substrate to its metabolites, 4-OH RA (4-hydroxy all trans retinoic acid) and 4-oxo RA (4-oxy retinoic acid) by separation on a C 18 HPLC column.
Inhibition of CYP26 activity in the presence of variable naphthalene analog concentrations was used to determine the ICSO's.
Methods Microsomal Preparation from T47D cells [241 ] T47D cells were grown in 1RPMI 1640 containing 10% FBS and 1 P/S, plated and treated 16-25 hours later with SuM atlRA and allowed to incubate for an additional 48 hours before cell harvest. Cells were washed twice with IxPBS
and scraped from plates. Cells were pelleted and resuspended in homogenization buffer (0.1M Tris-Cl, pH7.4, O.1M DTT, 0.2mM EDTA, 1.15% w/v KCI, O.ImM PMSF and 20% v/v glycerol). Microsomes were prepared by differential centrifugation of homogenized cells. Homogenate was spun at 17,OOOg and the supernatant spun again at 100,000g. The pellet was resuspended in 25mM potassium phosphate, pH7.4, 20%
v/v glycerol and stored at -80 °C.
HPLC Biochemical CYP26 Assav [242] Enzymatic assays were performed in a total volume of 100 ~L in a reaction mixture composed of 100 mM Tris pH7.4, 150 mM KCI, 10 mM MgCl2, 2 mM NADPH, 40 nM 3H-atRA, and varying concentrations of novel compound dissolved in DMSO such that the concentration in the reaction is 1% final, and 20 ~g of T47D microsomes. The reactions were incubated at 37 °C for 30 min in the dark.
The reaction was stopped by the addition of 125 pL of acetonitrile, mixed and spun at 10,000g for 10 min. The supernatant was removed and atRA and metabolites were separated on a C 18 Waters Spherisorb column with an in line radiometric detector with a flow rate of 1 mL/min at detected at 350 nM. The gradient used was the mixture of 60 mM Ammonium Acetate, pH 5.2/30%CH30H, solvent A and solvent B
(CH30H). A 30-50% gradient of CH30H was run for 8 min followed by a 50-99%
CH30H gradient for 4 min and 99% CH30H for 2 min.

Inhibition of Cell Proliferation in vitro [243] The novel naphthalene analogs inhibit the proliferation of breast cancer and prostate cells in vitro. Experiments were conducted on T47D breast cancer cell line and on the AT6.1 rat prostate adenocarcinoma cell line.
Methods [244] T47D cells were grown in RPMI 1640 containing 10% FBS and 1 %P/S. Cells were plated into 96 well culture plates (2000 cells per well) in 100 pL
of same medium. After attachment for 16-24 h, the vehicle (DMSO), or atRA
alone (at concentrations of 1 nM to 1 pM), or atRA at these concentrations in combination with varying concentration of novel compound were added to triplicate wells (J. Biol.
Chem. 1997, 272(29), 17921-17928). Medium/treatments were repeated 3 days after the first treatment and measure of the decrease in cell proliferation was measured 48 hours later using CellTiter-GIoT"" (Promega).
[245] The method described above was also used for AT6.1 cells except that cells were plated at 1 S00 cells per well and treatment was performed once with measure of the decrease in cell proliferation 72 h post treatment. AT6.1 cells were grown in RPMI 1640 containing 10% FBS, 1% P/S and 250 nM Dexamethasone.
CYP3A4 Assay [246] Enzymatic assays to measure the inhibition of CYP3A4 activity was determined in 100u1 volume in a 96 well plate by the use of a fluorescence substrate (BD, Gentest). Compounds were tested at various concentrations in a reaction that contained 200mM Potassium Phosphate buffer, pH 7.4, 200mM NADPH and SOuM
7-benzyloxy-4-(trifluoromethyl)-coumarin. The reaction was incubated at 37°C for 45 minutes followed by the addition of 37u1 of O.SM Tris Base to terminate the reaction. The plates were read at excitation/emission of 405/535nm, respectively.
[247] All Examples showed inhibition of Cyp26. The following Examples showed efficacy and activity by inhibiting Cyp26 in the biochemical assay in the range from about S~M to below IOnM.
