Description

'GRA3394-WO-1 Novel vanilloid receptor ligands and the use thereof for the production of pharmaceuticals The present invention relates to novel vanilloid receptor ligands, to methods for producing them, to pharmaceuticals containing these compounds and to the use of these compounds for the production of pharmaceuticals.

The treatment of pain, in particular neuropathic pain, is of great medical significance.
There is a worldwide need for effective pain treatments. The urgency of the requirement for effective therapeutic methods for providing tailored and targeted treatment of chronic and non-chronic pain, this being taken to mean pain treatment which is effective and satisfactory from the patient's standpoint, is also evident from the large number of scientific papers relating to applied analgesia and to basic nociception research which have appeared in recent times.

One suitable approach to the treatment of pain, in particular of pain selected from the group consisting of acute pain, chronic pain, neuropathic pain and visceral pain, particularly preferably of neuropathic pain, is the vanilloid receptor subtype (VR1/TRPV1), which is often also known as the capsaicin receptor. This receptor is stimulated inter alia by vanilloids such as for example capsaicin, heat and protons and plays a central role in the genesis of pain. It is furthermore of significance to numerous other physiological and pathophysiological processes, such as for example migraine; depression; neurodegenerative diseases; cognitive disorders; anxiety states; epilepsy; coughing; diarrhoea; pruritus; inflammation; disorders of the cardiovascular system; disorders of food intake; dependency on medicines;
abuse of medicines and in particular urinary incontinence.

One object of the present invention was accordingly to provide novel compounds which are suitable in particular as pharmacological active ingredients in pharmaceuticals, preferably in pharmaceuticals for the treatment of disorders or diseases which are mediated at least in part by vanilloid receptors 1(VR1/TRPV1 receptors).

,GRA3394-WO-1 It has surprisingly now been found that the substituted compounds of the general formula I stated below display excellent affinity for the vanilloid receptor of the subtype 1(VR1/TRPV1 receptor) and are therefore suitable in particular for the prevention and/or treatment of disorders or diseases which are mediated at least in part by vanilloid receptors 1(VR1/TRPV1). Likewise the substituted compounds of the general formula I stated below exhibit anti-inflammatory activity.

= Pharmacological methods 1. Functional investigation on vanilloid receptor 1(VRI/TRPV1 receptor) The agonistic or antagonistic action of the substances to be investigated on the vanilloid receptor 1(VR1/TRPV1) of the rat species may be determined with the following assay. According to this assay, the influx of Ca2+ through the receptor channel is quantified with the assistance of a Ca2+-sensitive dye (type Fluo-4, Molecular Probes Europe BV, Leiden, Netherlands) in a Fluorescent Imaging Plate Reader (FLIPR, Molecular Devices, Sunnyvale, USA).

Method:
Complete medium: 50 mL HAMS F12 Nutrient Mixture (Gibco Invitrogen GmbH, Karlsruhe, Germany) with vol.% FCS (foetal calf serum, Gibco Invitrogen GmbH, Karlsruhe, Germany, heat-inactivated);
2 mM L-glutamine (Sigma, Munich, Germany);
1 wt.% AA solution (antibiotic/antimycotic solution, PAA, Pasching, Austria) and 25 ng/ml NGF medium (2.5 S, Gibco Invitrogen GmbH, Karlsruhe, Germany) Cell culture plate: poly-D-lysine-coated, black 96-hole plates with clear base (96 well black/clear plate, BD Biosciences, Heidelberg, Germany) are additionally coated with laminin (Gibco Invitrogen GmbH, Karlsruhe, Germany), by diluting laminin to a concentration of 100 pg/mL with PBS (Ca-Mg-free PBS, Gibco Invitrogen GmbH, Karlsruhe, Germany). Aliquots with a concentration of 100 pg/mL of laminin are taken and stored at -20 C. The aliquots are diluted with PBS in the ratio of 1:10 to pg/mL of laminin and 50 pL of the solution is pipetted into each well of the cell culture plate. The cell culture plates are incubated for at least two hours at 37 C, the supernatant solution is aspirated and the wells are each washed twice with PBS. The coated cell culture plates are stored with supernatant PBS and this is only removed directly prior to introduction of the cells.

Preparation of the cells:

The spinal column is removed from decapitated rats and this is placed directly in cold HBSS buffer (Hank's buffered saline solution, Gibco lnvitrogen GmbH, Karisruhe, Germany), i.e. located in an ice bath, combined with 1 vol.% (percent by volume) of an AA solution (antibioticlantimycotic solution, PAA, Pasching, Austria). The spinal column is severed lengthwise and removed from the spinal canal together with fasciae. The dorsal root ganglia (DRGs) are then removed and in turn stored in cold HBSS buffer combined with 1 vol.% of an AA solution. The DRGs, from which blood residues and spinal nerves have been completely removed, are in each case transferred into 500 pL cold collagenase type 2 (PAA, Pasching, Austria) and incubated for 35 minutes at 37 C. After the addition of 2.5 vol.% trypsin (PAA, Pasching, Austria) incubation at 37 C is continued for a further 10 minutes.
After complete incubation, the enzyme solution is carefully pipetted off and the remaining DRGs are combined in each case with 500 pL of complete medium. The DRGs are in each case repeatedly suspended, drawn through cannulas no. 1, no. 12 and no.

by means of a syringe and transferred into 50 mL Falcon microtubes, these being filled to 15 mL with complete medium. The content of each Falcon microtube is in each case filtered through a 70 pm Falcon filter insert and centrifuged for 10 minutes at 1200 revolutions and RT. The resultant pellet is in each case redissolved in 250 pL
of complete medium and the cell count is determined.

The number of cells in the suspension is adjusted to 3 x 105 per mL and a 150 pL
portion of this suspension is in each case placed in a well of the cell culture plates which have been coated as described above. The plates are left to stand in the incubator for two to three days at 37 C, 5 vol.% CO2 and 95% relative atmospheric humidity.

The cells are then loaded with 2 pM Fluo-4 and 0.01 vol.% Pluronic F127 (Molecular Probes Europe BV, Leiden, Netherlands) in HBSS buffer (Hank's buffered saline solution, Gibco Invitrogen GmbH, Karlsruhe, Germany) for 30 mins at 37 C, washed 3 x with HBSS buffer and, after a further 15 minutes' incubation at room temperature, used for Ca2+ measurement in the FLIPR assay. Ca2+-dependent fluorescence is here measured before and after the addition of substances (kex =

488 nm, a,em = 540 nm). Quantification proceeds by measuring the highest fluorescence intensity (FC, fluorescence counts) over time.

FLIPR assay:

The FLIPR protocol consists of 2 additions of substance. First of all, the compounds to be tested (10 pM) are pipetted onto the cells and Ca2+ influx is compared with the control (capsaicin 10 pM). This gives rise to a % activation value relative to the Ca2+
signal after addition of 10 pM capsaicin (CP). After 5 minutes' incubation, 100 nM of capsaicin are added and the influx of Ca2+ is likewise determined.

Desensitising agonists and antagonists result in suppression of Ca2+ influx.
The percentage inhibition in comparison with the maximum achievable inhibition with 10 pM capsaicin is calculated.

Three-fold determinations (n=3) are performed and these are repeated in at least 3 independent experiments (N=4).

On the basis of the percentage displacement by different concentrations of the compounds to be tested of the general formula I, IC50 inhibition concentrations which bring about 50% displacement of capsaicin were calculated. K; values for the test substances were obtained by conversion using the Cheng-Prusoff equation (Cheng, Prusoff; Biochem. Pharmacol. 22, 3099-3108, 1973).

II. Functional investigations on vanilloid receptor (VR1) The agonistic or antagonistic action of the substances to be investigated on the vanilloid receptor (VR1) may also be determined with the following assay.
According to this assay, the influx of Ca2+ through the channel is quantified with the assistance of a Ca2+-sensitive dye (type Fluo-4, Molecular Probes, Europe BV, Leiden, Netherlands) in a Fluorescent Imaging Plate Reader (FLIPR, Molecular Devices, Sunnyvale, USA).

Method:
Chinese hamster ovary cells (CHO K1 cells, European Collection of Cell Cultures (ECACC), Great Britain) are stably transfected with the VR1 gene. For functional investigations, these cells are plated out onto poly-D-lysine-coated, black 96-hole plates with a clear base (BD Biosciences, Heidelberg, Germany) at a density of 25,000 cells/hole. The cells are incubated overnight at 37 C and 5% CO2 in a culture medium (Ham's Nutrient Mixture F12, 10 vol.% FCS (foetal calf serum), 18 pg/mL
L-proline). On the following day, the cells are incubated with Fluo-4 (Fluo-4 2 pM, Pluronic F127 0.01 vol.%, Molecular Probes in HBSS (Hank's buffered saline solution), Gibco Invitrogen GmbH, Karlsruhe, Germany) for 30 minutes at 37 C.
The plates are then washed 3 times with HBSS buffer and, after a further 15 minutes' incubation at room temperature, used for Ca2+ measurement in the FLIPR. Ca2+-dependent fluorescence is here measured before and after the addition of the substances to be investigated (wavelength keX = 488 nm, kem = 540 nm).
Quantification proceeds by measuring the highest fluorescence intensity (FC, fluorescence counts) over time.

FLIPR assay:

The FLIPR protocol consists of 2 additions of substance. The substances to be tested (10 pM) are firstly pipetted onto the cells and Ca2+ influx is compared with the control (capsaicin 10 pM) (% activation relative to the Ca2+ signal after addition of 10 pM of capsaicin). After 5 minutes' incubation, 100 nM of capsaicin are administered and the influx of Ca2+ is likewise determined.

Desensitising agonists and antagonists resulted in suppression of Ca2+ influx.
The percentage inhibition in comparison with the maximum achievable inhibition with 10 pM capsaicin is calculated.

On the basis of the percentage displacement by different concentrations of the compounds to be tested of the general formula I, IC50 inhibition concentrations which bring about 50% displacement of capsaicin were calculated. K; values for the test substances were obtained by conversion using the Cheng-Prusoff equation (Cheng, Prusoff; Biochem. Pharmacol. 22, 3099-3108, 1973).

III. b. Formalin test in mice The investigation for determining the antinociceptive action of the compounds according to the invention is performed using the formalin test on male mice (NMRI, 20 to 30 g body weight, Iffa, Credo, Belgium).

In the formalin test, according to D. Dubuisson et al., Pain 1977, 4, 161-174 a distinction is drawn between the first (early) phase (0 to 15 minutes after the formalin injection) and the second (late) phase (15 to 60 minutes after the formalin injection).
The early phase, being a direct response to the formalin injection, is considered to be a model for acute pain, while the late phase is considered to be a model for persistent (chronic) pain (T.J. Coderre, et al., Pain 1993, 52, 259-285). The corresponding literature descriptions are hereby introduced as a reference and are deemed to be part of the disclosure.

The compounds according to the invention are investigated in the second phase of the formalin test in order to obtain information concerning the effects of the substances on chronic/inflammatory pain.

The administration time of the compounds according to the invention prior to the formalin injection is selected as a function of the mode of administration of the compounds according to the invention. Intravenous administration of 10 mg/kg body weight of the test substances proceeds 5 minutes prior to the formalin injection. This is effected by a one-off subcutaneous formalin injection (20 pL, 1% aqueous solution) into the dorsal side of the right hand hind paw, such that, in the case of freely mobile test animals, a nociceptive reaction is induced, which manifests itself in marked licking and biting of the relevant paw.

Then, the nociceptive behaviour of the animals is observed and recorded continuously for an investigation period of three minutes in the second (late) phase of the formalin test (21 to 24 minutes after the formalin injection).
Quantification of the pain behaviour proceeds by summation of the seconds in which the animals licked and bit the relevant paw during the investigation period.

The comparison is made in each case with control animals, which, instead of compounds according to the invention, received vehicle (0.9% aqueous sodium chloride soln.) before administration of the formalin. On the basis of the quantification of the pain behaviour, the substance effect in the formalin test is determined in percent as a change compared with the corresponding control.

After the injection of substances which have an antinociceptive action in the formalin test, the described behaviours of the animals, i.e. licking and biting, are reduced or eliminated.

IV. Investigation of analgesic efficacy in the writhing test Investigation of the compounds according to the invention of the general formula I for analgesic efficacy was performed by phenylquinone-induced writhing in mice, modified in accordance with I.C. Hendershot and J. Forsaith (1959) J.
Pharmacol.
Exp. There. 125, 237-240. The corresponding literature description is hereby introduced as a reference and is deemed to be part of the disclosure.

Male NMRI mice weighing from 25 to 30 g were used for this purpose. Groups of animals per compound dose received, 10 minutes after intravenous administration of the compounds to be tested, 0.3 mL/mouse of a 0.02% aqueous solution of phenylquinone (phenylbenzoquinone, Sigma, Deisenhofen, Germany; solution prepared with addition of 5% by weight of ethanol and stored in a water bath at 45 C) administered intraperitoneally. The animals were placed individually in observation cages. A push button counter was used to record the number of pain-induced stretching movements ('writhing reactions' = straightening of the torso with stretching of the rear extremities) for 5-20 minutes after phenylquinone administration.
The control was provided by animals which had received only physiological saline solution. All the compounds were tested at the standard dosage of 10 mg/kg.

V. Hypothermia assay in mice Description of method:
The hypothermia assay is carried out on male NMRI mice (weight 25-35 grams, breeder IFFA CREDO, Brussels, Belgium). The animals were kept under standardised conditions: light/dark cycle (06:00 to 18:00 light phase; 18:00 to 06:00 dark phase), RT 19-22 C, relative humidity 35-70%, 15 air exchanges per hour, air movement < 0.2 rn/sec. The animals received standard feed (ssniff R/M
maintenance, ssniff Spezialdiaten GmbH, Soest, Germany) and tap water. Water and feed were withdrawn during the test. All the animals were used only once in the test.
The animals had a habituation phase of at least 5 days.

Acute administration of capsaicin (VR-1 agonist) leads to a drop in core body temperature in rats and mice by stimulation of heat sensors. Only specifically acting VR-1-receptor antagonists are capable of antagonising capsaicin-induced hypothermia. Morphine-induced hypothermia, in contrast, is not antagonised by antagonists. This model is therefore suitable for identifying substances with antagonistic properties from their action on body temperature.

Core body temperature was measured using a digital thermometer (Thermalert TH-5, physitemp, Clifton NJ, USA). The sensor is here inserted into the animal's rectum.
Body temperature is measured twice for each animal at an interval of approx.
half an hour as an individual baseline value. One group of animals (n= 6 to 10) then receives intraperitoneal (i.p.) administration of capsaicin 3 mg/kg and vehicle (control group).
Another group of animals receives the substance to be tested (i.v. or per os) and additionally capsaicin (3 mg/kg) i.p. The test substance is administered i.v.

minutes or per os 15 minutes before the capsaicin. Body temperature is then measured 7.5 / 15 and 30 min after capsaicin (i.v. + i.p.) or 15 / 30 / 60 /90 /120 min (per os + i.p.) after capsaicin. In addition, one group of animals is treated only with the test substance and one group only with vehicle. The measured values are evaluated and presented as a mean +/- SEM of the absolute values on a graph.
The antagonistic action is calculated as a percentage reduction in capsaicin-induced hypothermia.

VI. Neuropathic pain in mice Efficacy against neuropathic pain was investigated in the Bennett model (chronic constriction injury; Bennett and Xie, 1988, Pain 33: 87-107).

NMRI mice weighing 16-18 g are provided under Ketavet-Rompun anaesthesia with three loose ligatures of the right ischial nerve. On the paw innervated by the damaged nerve, the animals develop hypersensitivity which, after one week's convalescence, is quantified over a period of approx. three weeks by means of a cold metal plate at 4 C (cold allodynia). The animals are observed on this plate for a period of 2 min. and the number of withdrawal responses by the damaged paw is measured. Relative to the preliminary value prior to administration of the substance, the action of the substance is determined at different occasions over a given period (for example 15, 30, 45, 60 min. after administration) and the resultant area under the curve (AUC) and/or the inhibition of cold allodynia at the individual measuring points is stated as a percentage action relative to the vehicle control (AUC) or to the initial value (individual measurement points). The size of the group is n=10, the significance of an antiallodynic action (*=p<0.05) is determined with reference to an analysis of variance with repeated measurement and post hoc Bonferroni analysis.

Step 1: A solution of the starting compound (10.6 mmol) in hydrochloric acid (6 N, 20 mL) is cooled to 0 C and solution of sodium nitrite (730 mg, 10.6 mmol) in water (10 mL) is added dropwise. The resultant solution is added at a constant temperature of 0 C to a solution of potassium iodide (7.3 g, 44 mmol) in water (15 mL). The reaction mixture is heated to room temperature, stirred for three hours and then extracted with ethyl acetate. The combined organic phases are washed consecutively with a 10%
strength sodium thiosulphate solution and a saturated sodium chloride solution, dried over sodium sulphate and concentrated under reduced pressure in order to thus obtain the iodised isoquinolin as a solid which can be used directly in the next step without further purification.

Step 2: Distilled diethyl malonate (304 pL, 2.00 mmol) and aryl iodide (1.00 mmol) are added to a mixture of copper(I) iodide (9.5 mg, 5.0 mol%), 2-picolinic acid (12.3 mg, 10.0 mol%), caesium carbonate (0.98 g, 3.0 mmol) and 1,4-dioxan (10 ml) and the reaction mixture is stirred for 7 hours at 70 C. The reaction mixture is then heated to room temperature and extracted with ethyl acetate (20 mL x 3) and saturated ammonium chloride solution (10 mL). The combined organic phases are dried over sodium sulphate and concentrated under reduced pressure. The oil obtained in this manner can be purified by means of flash chromatography on silica gel in order to obtain the desired a-aryl malonate.

Step 3: Sodium hydride (1.1 mmol) and methyl iodide (1 mmol) are added to a solution, which is cooled to 0 C, of a-aryl malonate (1 mmol) in DMF (10 mL) and the reaction mixture is stirred for 30 minutes at room temperature. The reaction mixture can then be concentrated under reduced pressure and the residue purified using a mixture of hexane and ethyl acetate (4:1) as an eluent by means of flash chromatography on silica gel.

Step 4: A mixture of a-arylmethyl malonate (1 mmol) and sodium hydroxide (2 mmol) in 80% strength aqueous ethanol is heated under reflux for 6 hours. The reaction mixture is neutralised with hydrochloric acid (1 N) and subsequently extracted with ethyl acetate (20 mL x 3). The combined organic phases are concentrated under reduced pressure. The residue obtained in this manner can be purified using a mixture of hexane and ethyl acetate (1:1) by means of flash chromatography on silica gel in order thus to obtain the desired (iso)quinolinpropanoic acids.

After addition of THF (5 mL) and of the corresponding aryl-bromide (1 mmol), the reaction mixture is boiled for 22 h under reflux. After removal of the solvent, the obtained residue is purified by means of column chromatography (a).
As described in Kawatsura M. et al., Tetrahedron (2000), 56, 15, 2247-2258, the alkene obtained can now be boiled to produce propanoic acid. For this purpose, the obtained residue (1 mmol) is dissolved in t-BuOH (18 mL) and water (45 mL), KMnO4 (2.5 mmol), NalO4 (16 mmol) and K2CO3 (6.5 mmol) are added and the reaction mixture is adjusted to pH 8 with 3 N aq NaOH. After 2 hours of stirring at room temperature, the mixture is acidifed with conc. HCI to pH 1 and the Mn02 is reduced with sodium hydrogen sulphite. The reaction mixture is now combined with ether, the phases separated and the organic phase extracted with 3 N aq NaOH. The aqueous phase is acidified with conc. HCI and likewise extracted with ether. The combined organic phases are dried over MgSO4 and concentrated in a vacuum (b).

After purification by means of column chromatography (n-hexane/tert-BME = 9/1), it was possible to obtain 0.198 g of product (9% of theory) as a white solid.

The propionate (180 mg, 0.81 mmol) was dissolved in a mixture of THF (1.6 mL, mmol) and water (0.8 mL, 45 mmol). After addition of LiOH (0.058 g, 2.43 mmol), the reaction mixture was refluxed overnight. For processing, 25 mL water and 25 mL
