Abstract

The present invention relates to novel aminoalkylazoles acting as inhibitors of malarial protease plasmepsin II. These can be used as medicines or as constituent of medicines for the treatment of malaria infection.

Description

SUBSTITUTED AMINOALKYLAZOLES AS MALARIAL
ASPARTIC PROTEASE INHIBITORS
Field of invention The present invention relates to medicine and in particular to the treatment of malaria, more particularly to inhibitors of malaria aspartic proteases known as plasmepsins.
Even more particularly, the invention relates to novel substituted aminoalkylazoles and pharmaceutical compositions thereof and their use as inhibitors of malarial aspartic protease plasmepsin II or related malarial aspartic proteases.
Background of invention Malaria is a life threatening infectious disease caused by the plasmodium parasite carried by mosquitoes. In 2010, World Health Organization has estimated 219 million cases of malaria infection, resulting in 660,000 deaths (WHO. World Malaria Report 2012; World Health Organization: Geneva, 2012; p 59). Widespread resistance to practically all currently used drugs has activated the search for antimalarials with novel mechanisms of action (Hyde, J. E.
Drug-resistant malaria - an insight. FEBS J. 2007, 274, 4688-4698; Choi, S.
R.; Mukherjee, P.; Avery, M. A. The fight against drug-resistant malaria: novel plasmodial targets and antimalarial drugs. Curr. Med. Chem. 2008, 15, 161-171; Wells, T. N.; Alonso, P. L.;
Gutteridge, W. E. New medicines to improve control and contribute to the eradication of malaria. Nat. Rev. Drug Discov. 2009, 8, 879-891). Resistance to current anti-malaria agents in regions threatened by malaria continues to spread, and it means that current therapeutic agents will be practically ineffective in the near future. A precondition for the development of a new resistance free malaria agent is inhibition of malaria parasite life cycle by a mechanism that differs from the mode of action of currently used therapeutic agents (N. K.
Sahu, S. Sahu and D. V. Kohli, Novel Molecular Targets for Antimalarial Drug.
Chem. Biol.
Drug. Des. 2008, 71, 287-297). Such product would be resistance free for a particular period of time, and it would be effective in all malaria endemic regions. One group of promising biological targets for the development of new anti-malaria agents are plasmepsins (I, II, IV
and HAP) - aspartic proteases of the parasite plasmodium, which are used by the parasite in the first stage of hemoglobin digestion, which is the main nutrition source during its erythrocytic cycle (K. Ersmark, B. Samuelsson, A. Hallberg, Plasmepsins as Potential Targets for New Antimalarial Therapy. Med. Res. Rev., 2006, 26, 626-666; G. H.
Coombs, D. E. Goldberg, M. Klemba, C. Berry, J. Kay and J. C. Mottram, Aspartic proteases of Plasmodium falciparum and other parasitic protozoa as drug targets. Trends in Parasitology, 2001, 17, 532-537). Therapeutic potential of plasmepsins in the treatment of malaria is still unused as there is no marketed anti-malarial drug acting on this target. Most of known plasmepsin inhibitors are based on N-acylated amino alcohols as transition state analogues that are peptidic or peptide-like which suffer from problems in bioavailability and pharmacokinetic profile (K. Ersmark, B. Samuelsson, A. Hallberg, Plasmepsins as Potential Targets for New Antimalarial Therapy. Med. Res. Rev., 2006, 26, 626-666). In order to find more drug-like compound there is an increased interest for non-peptidic plasmepsin inhibitors and several such inhibitors have been reported (O. Corminboeuf, G.

Description of invention Plasmepsins are malarial aspartic proteases have been identified as a group of promising biological targets for the development of new anti-malaria agents. For example, plasmepsin II
is used by the parasite in the first stage of hemoglobin digestion, which is the main nutrition source during its erythrocytic cycle (K. Ersmark, B. Samuelsson, A. Hallberg, Plasmepsins as Potential Targets for New Antimalarial Therapy. Med. Res. Rev., 2006, 26, 626-666; G. H.
Coombs, D. E. Goldberg, M. Klemba, C. Berry, J. Kay and J. C. Mottram, Aspartic proteases of Plasmodium falciparum and other parasitic protozoa as drug targets. Trends in Parasitology, 2001, 17, 532-537).
When testing the novel substituted aminoalkylazoles derivatives for their ability to inhibit plasmepsin II we have unexpectedly discovered, that said derivatives exhibit pronounced inhibitor properties toward said plasmepsin and thus are useful in treatment of malaria.
According to this invention, the results from plasmepsin inhibition studies demonstrate that substituted are novel class of non-peptidic inhibitors of malarial aspartic proteases ¨
plasmepsins. Several example compounds from the present invention display high nanomolar to low micromolecular inhibitory potency that is comparable to known non-peptidic inhibitors (e.g. F. Hof et. al., Starving the malaria parasite: Inhibitors active against the aspartic proteases plasmepsins I, II, and IV. Angew. Chem. Int. Ed. 2006, 45, 2138-2141; T.

In vitro Assay Fluorescence resonance energy transfer (FRET) assay was performed to evaluate ability of compounds to inhibit plasmepsin II Solution of compounds for testing (concentration 0.01-100uM) on 96 well plate were added to the enzyme (Plasmepsin II) in buffer (0.1 M Na0Ac, pH = 4.5, 10% glycerin). The mixture was incubated for 30 min at 37 C.
Substrate (DABCYL-Glu-Arg-Nle-Phe-Leu-Ser-Phe-Pro-EDANS, AnaSpec Inc) was added to reach final concentration 5 uM. Hydrolysis of substrate was detected as an increase in fluorescence (Em 490 nm, Ex 336 nm) at 37 C. Compounds were tested in three repeated triplicate experiments.
