Description

5-lipoxygenase-activating protein (FLAP) inhibitors
Related application
This application is U.S. provisional application No. 60/734,030, entitled "5-lipoxygenase activating protein (FLAP) inhibitor", filed on 4.11.2005; U.S. provisional application No. 60/747,174, filed on 12.5.2006, entitled "5-lipoxygenase activating protein (FLAP) inhibitors"; and U.S. provisional application No. 60/823,344 filed on 23/8/2006, entitled "inhibitors of 5-lipoxygenase activating protein (FLAP), the entire contents of which are incorporated herein by reference.
Field of the invention
Described herein are compounds, methods of making such compounds, pharmaceutical compositions and medicaments comprising such compounds, and methods of using such compounds to treat or prevent diseases or conditions associated with 5-lipoxygenase-activating protein (FLAP) activity.
Prior Art
The protein 5-lipoxygenase activating protein (FLAP) is involved in the pathway of leukotriene synthesis. In particular, 5-lipoxygenase activating protein (FLAP) is responsible for binding arachidonic acid and transferring it to 5-lipoxygenase. See, e.g., Abramovitz, m. et al, eur.j. biochem.215: 105-111(1993). The 5-lipoxygenase can then catalyze the two-step oxygenation and dehydration of arachidonic acid, convert it to the intermediate compound 5-HPETE (5-hydroperoxyeicosatetraenoic acid), and convert the 5-HPETE to leukotriene A in the presence of FLAP4(LTA4)。
Leukotrienes are biological compounds produced from arachidonic acid in the leukotriene synthesis pathway (Samuelsson et al, Science, 220, 568-575, 1983; Cooper, cell, molecular pathway, 2 nd edition, Sinauer Co., Sunderland (MA), 2000). It is synthesized mainly by eosinophils, neutrophils, mast cells, basophils, dendritic cells, macrophages and single cells. Leukotrienes are associated with biological effects, including, by way of example only, smooth muscle contraction, leukocyte activation, cytokine secretion, mucosal secretion, and vascular function.

Detailed Description
Illustrative biological Activity
Leukotrienes (LT) are potent contractile and inflammatory mediators released from the cell membrane by arachidonic acid and activated by 5-lipoxygenase, 5-lipoxygenase activating protein, LTA4Hydrolase and LTC4The action of the synthetase is converted into leukotriene. The leukotriene synthesis pathway or 5-lipoxygenase pathway involves a series of enzymatic reactions in which arachidonic acid is converted to leukotriene LTB4Or cysteaminoylleukotrienes, LTC4、LTD4And LTE4. This pathway occurs primarily in the nuclear envelope and has been described. See, e.g., Wood, JW et al, j.exp.med., 178: 1935-1946, 1993; Peters-Golden, am.j.respir.crit.care med.157: S227-S232, 1998; drazen et al, edited five lipoxygenase products in asthma, in lung biology in health and disease, Vol.120, Chapter 1, 2 and 7, Marcel Dekker NY, 1998. Protein components specific to the leukotriene synthesis pathway include 5-lipoxygenase (5- LO), 5-lipoxygenase activating protein, LTA4Hydrolase and LTC4And (3) synthesizing enzyme. The synthesis of leukotrienes has been described in the literature, e.g., Samuelsson et al, Science, 220, 568-575, 1983; Peters-Golden, "cytobiology of the 5-lipoxygenase pathway" Am J Respir CritCare Med 157: S227-S232 (1998). Leukotrienes are synthesized directly from arachidonic acid by different cells, including eosinophils, neutrophils, basophils, lymphocytes, macrophages, single cells, and mast cells. Excess LTA4E.g., from activated neutrophils, may enter the cell via a transcellular route. Most cells in the body have LTA4Hydrolases, thus producing LTB4. Platelets have LTC with endothelial cells4Synthesising enzymes, so when passing through the transcellular pathway, LTA4Upon presentation, LTC can be made4
Arachidonic acid is a polyunsaturated fatty acid and is found primarily in the cell membrane of body cells. In the presence of inflammatory stimuli from outside the cell, calcium is released and binds to phospholipase A2(PLA2) and 5-LO. Cell activation causes PLA2And 5-LO from the cytoplasm to the endoplasmic reticulum and/or nuclear cell membrane, wherein in the presence of released arachidonic acid is converted to epoxide LTA via a 5-HPETE intermediate 4. Depending on the cell type, LTA4LTC capable of immediate nuclear binding4Synthetase conversion to LTC4Or by cytolytic LTA4Conversion to LTB by action of hydrolytic enzymes4。LTB4Is exported from the cell by a yet uncharacterized transporter and can activate other cells, or the cells in which they are made, to bind to one of two G protein-coupled receptors (GPCRs), i.e., BLT, via high affinity1R or BLT2R。LTC4Is exported to the blood via MRP-1 anion pump and is rapidly converted to LTD by the action of gamma-glutamyl transpeptidase4Then LTD4Is converted into LTE by the action of a dipeptidase4。LTC4、LTD4And LTE4Is a general termIs cysteaminoyl leukotriene (or A slow-reacting substance previously called anaphylaxis, SRS-A). Cysteaminyl leukotrienes activate other cells, or the cells in which they are made, via high affinity binding to one of the two GPCRs, CysLT1R or CysLT2R。CysLT1Receptors are found in human airway eosinophils, neutrophils, macrophages, mast cells, B-lymphocytes, and smooth muscle, and cause bronchoconstriction. Zhu et al, Am J Respir Cell Mol Biol Epub Aug 25 (2005). CysLT2The receptor is located in human airway eosinophils, macrophages, mast cells, human pulmonary vascularity, fig. aeeroa et al, Clin Exp Allergy 33: 1380-1388(2003).
Involvement of leukotrienes in disease or condition
The involvement of leukotrienes in disease is well described in the literature. See, e.g., Busse, clin. exp. allergy 26: 868-79, 1996; o' Byrne, Chest 111 (supplement 2): 27S-34S, 1977; sheftell, f.d. et al, Headache, 40: 158-163, 2000; klickstein et al, j.clin.invest, 66: 1166 1170, 1950; davidson et al, ann.rheum.dis, 42: 677-679, 1983. Leukotrienes produce a significant inflammatory response in human skin. Evidence for the involvement of leukotrienes in human disease has been found in psoriasis where leukotrienes have been detected in psoriatic lesions (Kragballe et al, Arch. Dermatol., 119: 548-.
For example, inflammatory responses have been shown to reflect three types of changes in local blood vessels. The initial change is an increase in vessel diameter, which results in increased local blood flow, and results in increased temperature, redness, and decreased blood flow velocity, particularly along the surface of small vessels. The second change is activation of endothelial cells lining the blood vessels to express adhesion molecules that promote the binding of circulating leukocytes. The combination of slowing blood flow and the resulting adhesion molecules allows leukocytes to attach to the endothelium and migrate into the tissue, a process known as extravasation. These changes are triggered by cytokines and leukotrienes produced by activated macrophages. Once inflammation has begun, the first cells attracted to the site of infection are typically neutrophils. It is then a single cell, which differentiates into more tissue macrophages. In the post-inflammatory phase, other white blood cells, such as eosinophils and lymphocytes, also enter the infected site. The third major change in local blood vessels is increased vascular permeability. Instead of being tightly bound together, endothelial cells lining the vessel wall become detached, leading to the exit of fluids and proteins from the blood and their local accumulation in tissues (see Janeway et al, immunobiology: immunization in health and disease is a system, 5 th edition, Garland publication, New York, 2001).
LTB4Relatively weak contractions of isolated airways and lung parenchyma are produced and these contractions are partially blocked by cyclooxygenase inhibitors, indicating that the contraction is secondary to the release of prostaglandins. However, LTB4Has been shown to be an effective chemotactic agent for primary particles of eosinophils and mast cells, and LTB4Recipient BLT 1-/-knockout mice are protected from eosinophilic inflammation and allergic airway reactions mediated by T-cells. Miyahara et al JImmunol 174: 4979-4784; (Weller et al J Exp Med 201: 1961-.
Leukotriene C4And D4For an effective smooth muscle contractant, bronchoconstriction is promoted in a variety of species, including humans (Dahlen et al, Nature, 288: 484-. These compounds have profound hemodynamic effects, cause coronary pinching, and cause decreased cardiac output efficiency (Marone et al, in leukotriene biology, compiled by R.Levi and R.D.Krell, Ann.New York Acad.Sci.524: 321-333, 1988). However, leukotrienes also act as angiotensin converting agents, with significant differences existing for different vascular beds. Leukotrienes have been reported to contribute to cardiac reperfusion injury following myocardial ischemia (Barst and Mullane, Eur. J. Pharmacol., 114: 383-387, 1985; Sasaki et al, C ardiovasc.Res.,22:142-148,1988)。LTC4And LTD4Will directly increase vascular permeability, perhaps by promoting the retraction of microvascular endothelial cells, via CysLT2Activation of the receptor and possibly other yet unidentified CysLT receptors [ Lotzer et al Arterioscler Thromb Vasc Biol 23: e32-36 (2003)]。LTB4In two atherosclerotic mouse models, low density receptor lipoprotein receptor deficiency (LDLr-/-) and apolipoprotein E-deficiency (ApoE-/-) mice, enhanced atherosclerotic progression (Aiello et al, Arterioscler Thromb Vasc Biol 22: 443. 449 (2002); Subbarao et al, Arterioscler Trromb Vasc Biol 24: 369. 375 (2004); Heller et al, Circulation 112: 578. 586 (2005); LTB. mu.4It has also been shown to increase human single cell chemoattractant protein (MCP-1), a known enhancer of atherosclerotic progression (Huang et al, Ateriosorter Thromb Vasc Biol 24: 1783-1788 (2004).
The role of FLAP in the leukotriene synthesis pathway is significant because FLAP, in conjunction with 5-lipoxygenase, carries out the first step in the leukotriene synthesis pathway. Thus, the leukotriene synthesis pathway provides a variety of targets for compounds useful in the treatment of leukotriene-dependent or leukotriene mediated diseases or conditions, including, for example, vascular and inflammatory disorders, proliferative diseases, and noncancerous disorders.
Leukotriene-dependent or leukotriene mediated conditions treated using the methods, compounds, pharmaceutical compositions and medicaments described herein include, but are not limited to, bone diseases and disorders, cardiovascular diseases and disorders, inflammatory diseases and disorders, skin diseases and disorders, ocular diseases and disorders, cancer and other proliferative diseases and disorders, respiratory diseases and disorders, and non-cancerous disorders.
Treatment options
Leukotrienes are known to contribute to airway inflammation in patients with asthma. CysLT1Receptor antagonists, e.g. Montelukast)(SingulairTM) Has been shown to be effective in asthma and allergic rhinitis [ Reiss et al Arch Intern Med 158: 1213-1220 (1998); phillip et al, Clin Exp Allergy 32: 1020-1028(2002)]。CysLT1The R antagonist Pranlukast (onanlukast) (Onon)TM) And miscellaneous road card last (zafirlukast) (Acclate)TM) Has also proven effective in asthma.
A variety of drugs have been designed to inhibit leukotriene formation, including the 5-lipoxygenase inhibitor zileuton (Zyflo)TM) Efficacy in asthma has been demonstrated, Israel et al Ann inter 119: 1059-1066(1993). The 5-lipoxygenase inhibitor ZD2138 showed efficacy in inhibiting the decline in FEV1 due to asthma induced by aspirin, Nasser et al, Thorax, 49; 749-756(1994). The following leukotriene synthesis inhibitors have demonstrated efficacy in asthma: specific inhibitors of MK-0591, 5-lipoxygenase activating protein (FLAP), Brideau et al, ca.j. physiol. pharmacol.70: 799-807(1992), specific inhibitors of MK-886, 5-lipoxygenase activating protein (FLAP), Friedman et al Am Rev Respir Dis., 147: 839-844(1993), and specific inhibitors of BAY X1005, 5-lipoxygenase activating protein (FLAP), Fructmann et al, pharmacological action 38: 188-195(1993).
FLAP inhibition will reduce LTB from single cells, neutrophils and other cells involved in vascular inflammation4Thus reducing atherosclerotic progression. The FLAP inhibitor MK-886 has been shown to reduce the vasoconstrictive response following angioplasty in porcine carotid injury models, Provost et al Brit J Pharmacol 123: 251-258(1998). MK-886 has also been shown to suppress femoral endangium hyperplasia in the photochemical pattern of endothelial-injured white rats, Kondo et al Thromb Haemost 79: 635-639(1998). 5-lipoxygenase inhibitor Gereteton (zileuton) has been shown to reduce renal ischemia in a rat model, Nimesh et al Mol Pharm 66: 220-227(2004).

Identification of leukotriene synthetic pathway inhibitors
Novel FLAP inhibitors, which are effective, either alone or in combination with other drugs, and which cause minimal negative side effects, are developed and tested for their benefit in treating leukotriene-dependent or leukotriene mediated diseases or conditions. Inhibitors of the leukotriene synthesis pathway described herein may be targeted at any step of this pathway to prevent or reduce leukotriene formation. Such leukotriene synthesis inhibitors, for example, can be inhibited at the FLAP or 5-LO levels, thus minimizing the formation of various products in the leukotriene pathway, thus reducing the amount of such compounds available in the cell. Leukotriene synthesis inhibitors can be identified based on their ability to bind to proteins in the leukotriene synthesis pathway. For example, FLAP inhibitors may be identified based on their binding to FLAP.

Use of protecting groups
In the reaction described, it may be necessary to protect reactive functional groups, such as hydroxyl, amine, imine, thio or carboxyl groups, where these are required in the final product, to avoid their undesired participation in the reaction. Protecting groups are used to block some or all of the reactive moieties and prevent such groups from participating in chemical reactions until the protecting group is removed. Each protecting group is preferably removable by different means. Protecting groups that cleave under completely different reaction conditions are required for differential removal. The protecting group can be removed by acid, base and hydrogenolysis. Some groups, such as trityl, dimethoxytrityl, acetal and t-butyldimethylsilyl, are acid labile and can be used to protect carboxyl and hydroxyl reactive moieties in the presence of an amine group protected with a Cbz group (which can be removed by hydrogenolysis) and an Fmoc group (which is base labile). The carboxylic acid and hydroxyl reactive moieties can be blocked with base labile groups such as, but not limited to, methyl, ethyl and acetyl groups in the presence of amines blocked with acid labile groups such as t-butyl carbamate or with carbamates, which are both acid and base stable but can be removed hydrolytically.
The carboxylic acid and hydroxyl reactive moieties may also be blocked by a hydrolytically removable protecting group, such as benzyl, while the amine groups capable of hydrogen bonding to acids may be blocked by a base labile group, such as Fmoc. The carboxylic acid reactive moiety may be protected by conversion to a simple ester compound, as exemplified herein, or it may be blocked by an oxidatively removable protecting group, such as 2, 4-dimethoxybenzyl, while the co-existing amine groups may be blocked by fluoride-labile silyl carbamates.
Allyl blocking groups can be used in the presence of acid-and base-protecting groups, are therefore stable, and can then be removed by metal or pi-acid catalysts. For example, allyl-blocked carboxylic acids can be deprotected by a Pd 0-catalyzed reaction in the presence of an acid-labile tert-butyl carbamate or a base-labile amine acetate protecting group. Yet another form of protecting group is a resin to which a compound or intermediate may be attached. As long as the residue is attached to the resin, the functional group is blocked and cannot react. Once released from the resin, the functional groups are available for reaction.
Typically, the blocking/protecting group may be selected from:

other protecting groups, plus detailed descriptions of techniques applicable to the generation and removal of protecting groups, are described in Greene and Wuts, organic synthetic protecting groups, 3 rd edition, John Wiley & Sons, New York, NY, 1999, and Kocienski, protecting groups, Thieme Verlag, New York, NY, 1994, which are incorporated herein by reference in their entirety.
Indole-containing compounds can be prepared using standard literature procedures, such as those described in kattritzky, "handbook of heterocyclic chemistry" Pergamon press, Oxford, 1986; pindur et al, J.HeterocyclicChem., Vol.25, 1, 1987, and Robinson "Fisher indole Synthesis", found in John Wiley & Sons, Chichester, New York, 1982, each of which is incorporated herein by reference in its entirety.
A non-limiting example of a synthetic route for indole compounds of formula (G), formula (G-I) and formula (G-II) is shown in accordance with reaction scheme I shown in FIG. 1, wherein a 4-substituted aniline (I-1) can be converted to its corresponding hydrazine (I-2) using standard procedures. Reaction of hydrazine (I-2) with an appropriately substituted ketone (I-3) under standard Fisher-indoxylation conditions produces indole (I-4). Indole (I-6) is due to the reaction of (I-4) with benzyl halide (I-5) (or tosylate (OTs) orMethane Sulfonates (OMs)), by N-alkylation in a solvent such as Tetrahydrofuran (THF) or Dimethylformamide (DMF) in the presence of a base such as NaH. In the case where the 5-substituent on the indole ring is methoxy (i.e. Z is MeO), the methyl group can be removed under standard conditions, for example using BBr 3In solvents, e.g. CH2Cl2To obtain phenol (I-7). The phenol may be alkylated with an electrophile (YX) to provide the alkylated product (I-8). Alternatively, in the case where the 5-substituent on the indole ring is, for example, a halide or trifluoromethanesulfonate (OTf; I-7), it can be coupled with a wide variety of reagents using coupling reactions mediated by standard metals well known to those familiar with organic synthesis techniques to give alternative compounds of structure (I-6). This chemistry is described in general organometallic chemistry II, volume 12, Pergamon, eds by Abel, Stone and Wilkinson. The Z substituent of indole (I-6) can be further modified using standard chemical procedures. In addition, when R is7Or R6In the case of bromine or iodine, standard cross-coupling reactions allow the introduction of a variety of functional groups using procedures well known in the art of organic synthesis. Then, when R is7For H, under certain conditions, a strong base such as nBuLi can be used to lithiate in a regioselective manner, and then this anion can be condensed with an electrophile to introduce a substitution on the C-2 basis (see Hasan et al, J. org. chem., 46, 157-164, 1981).
Another non-limiting example of a synthetic route for compounds of formula (G), formula (G-I) and formula (G-II) is shown according to reaction scheme II in FIG. 2. Starting with hydrazine I-2, N-alkylation with benzyl halide (or tosylate or mesylate; I-5) using the conditions described above, provides the hydrazine derivative (II-1). Reaction with an appropriately substituted ketone (I-3) using standard Fisher's indolisation conditions affords indole (I-6).
Another non-limiting example of a synthetic route for compounds of formula (G), formula (G-I) and formula (G-II) is shown in FIG. 2 according to reaction scheme III, where 3-H-indole (III-1) can be made directly using the procedure described above, or alternatively, it can be made by dissolving it in a solventSuch as CH2Cl2Medium humidity AlCl3Treatment, prepared from 3-thioindole. Functionalization at the 3-position can be achieved using a variety of reactions and procedures to allow the introduction of a wide range of substituents. By way of example only, in Lewis acids such as AlCl3Acylation with chlorinated acyl (or anhydride) in the Presence of an acid group allows introduction of an acyl group (I-6; R)6C (o) R'), see Murakami et al, heterocyles, v14, 1939-. Starting with (III-1), and by way of example only, using a sulfenic acid chloride in a suitable solvent, compounds of general structure (III-2) can be prepared, wherein R is6Is SR "(Raban, j. org. chem., v45, 1688, 1980). Similar chemistry using indole (III-3) can be performed or, alternatively, a diaryl disulfide can be used in DMF in the presence of a base such as NaH to yield (III-4) (Atkinson et al, Synthesis, 480-481, 1988). Electron deficient olefins with 3-H indoles (III-1) or (III-3) in Lewis acids (e.g. Yb (OTf) 3.3H2O) allowing the installation of a 3-alkyl substituent of the general structure (III-2) or (III-4) (wherein R is6Is a substituted alkyl group; see Harrington and Kerr, Synlett, 1047-. Alternatively, indole (III-3) may be reacted with benzyl derivative (I-5) in warm DMF to give (III-4), wherein R6Is a substituted benzyl group (Jacobs et al, J.Med.chem., v36, 394-409, 1993).

Alternatively, the compounds of formula (G), formula (G-I) and formula (G-II) may be prepared as pharmaceutically acceptable base addition salts, which are one type of pharmaceutically acceptable salt, by reacting the free acid form of the compound with a pharmaceutically acceptable inorganic or organic base, including but not limited to organic bases such as ethanolamine, diethanolamine, triethanolamine, butanetriethanolamine, N-methylglucamine, and the like, and inorganic bases such as aluminum hydroxide, calcium hydroxide, potassium hydroxide, sodium carbonate, sodium hydroxide, and the like.
The compounds of formula (G), formula (G-I) and formula (G-II) may be formulated as pharmaceutically acceptable salts, which are formed when an acidic proton is present in the parent compound, whether replaced by a metal ion, such as an alkali metal ion, an alkaline earth ion or an aluminium ion; or coordinated with an organic base. In addition, salt forms of the disclosed compounds can be made using salts of starting materials or intermediates.
It will be understood that reference to a pharmaceutically acceptable salt includes the solvent addition or crystalline forms thereof, particularly solvates or polymorphs. Solvates contain an amount of solvent, whether stoichiometric or non-stoichiometric, and may be formed during the crystallization process with pharmaceutically acceptable solvents such as water, ethanol, and the like. Hydrates are formed when the solvent is water, or alcoholates are formed when the solvent is alcohol. Solvates of the compounds of formula (G), formula (G-I) and formula (G-II) may conveniently be made or formed during the processes described herein. By way of example only, hydrates of the compounds of formula (G), formula (G-I) and formula (G-II) may conveniently be prepared by recrystallisation from an aqueous/organic solvent mixture using an organic solvent including, but not limited to, dioxane, tetrahydrofuran or methanol. In addition, the compounds provided herein can exist in unsolvated as well as solvated forms. In general, for the purposes of the compounds and methods provided herein, solvated forms are considered equivalent to unsolvated forms.
The compounds of formula (G), formula (G-I) and formula (G-II) may be in various forms including, but not limited to, amorphous forms, milled forms and nano-particulate forms. Furthermore, the compounds of formula (G), formula (G-I) and formula (G-II) include crystalline forms, also known as polymorphs. Polymorphs include different crystal packing arrangements of the same elemental composition of a compound. Polymorphs typically have different X-ray diffraction patterns, infrared spectra, melting points, densities, hardness, crystal shape, optical and electrical properties, stability and solubility. Factors such as recrystallization solvent, rate of crystallization and storage temperature can cause the single crystal form to dominate.
The compounds of formula (G), formula (G-I) and formula (G-II) in their unoxidized form may be prepared from N-oxides of compounds of formula (G), formula (G-I) and/or formula (G-II) by treatment with a reducing agent such as, but not limited to, sulfur dioxide, triphenylphosphine, lithium borohydride, sodium borohydride, phosphorus trichloride, tribromides and the like, in a suitable inert organic solvent such as, but not limited to, ethyl-ponan, ethanol, aqueous dioxane and the like, at from 0 ℃ to 80 ℃.
The compounds of formula (G), formula (G-I) and formula (G-II) may be formulated as prodrugs. Prodrugs are generally prodrugs that, upon administration to a patient and subsequent absorption, are converted to the active or more active species via a process such as conversion by metabolic pathways. Some prodrugs have chemical groups present on the prodrug that render the drug less active and/or impart solubility or some other property to the drug. Once the chemical group has been cleaved from the prodrug and/or modified, the active drug is produced. Prodrugs are often useful because, in some cases, they may be easier to administer than the parent drug. It may be bioavailable, for example, by oral administration, whereas the parent is not. Prodrugs may also have improved solubility in pharmaceutical compositions over the parent drug.
Prodrugs can be designed as reversible drug derivatives for use as modifiers to enhance drug delivery to site-specific tissues. To date, the design of prodrugs has increased the effective aqueous solubility of therapeutic compounds to target regions where water is the predominant solvent. See, e.g., Fedorak et al, am.j.physiol., 269: g210-218 (1995); McLoed et al, Gastroenterol, 106: 405-413 (1994); hochhaus et al, biomed.chrom, 6: 283-; larsen and h.bundgaard, int.j.pharmaceuticals, 37, 87 (1987); larsen et al, iht. j. pharmaceuticals, 47, 103 (1988); sinkula et al, j.pharm.sci., 64: 181-210 (1975); t.higuchi and v.stella, a.c.s. argument are listed prodrugs as novel delivery systems, volume 14; roche, a bioreversible carrier in drug design, american society of medicine and Pergamon press, 1987, all incorporated herein in their entirety.
In addition, prodrug derivatives of the compounds of formula (G), formula (G-I) and formula (G-II) can be prepared by methods known to the skilled worker (see, for example, Saulnier et al, (1994), Bioorganic and Medicinal Chemistry Letters, Vol.4, p.1985, for further details). By way of example only, suitable prodrugs can be prepared by reacting the underivatized compounds of formula (G), formula (G-I) and formula (G-II) with suitable carbamoylating agents, such as, but not limited to, 1-acyloxyalkyl carbonate, p-nitrophenyl carbonate, and the like. Prodrug forms of the compounds described herein, wherein a prodrug is metabolized in vivo to produce a derivative as set forth herein, are included within the scope of the claims. Indeed, some of the compounds described herein may be another derivative or a prodrug of the active compound.
At positions on the aromatic ring portion of the compounds of formula (G), formula (G-I) and formula (G-II), various metabolic reactions are readily acceptable, and thus incorporation of appropriate substitutions on the aromatic-based ring structure, such as, for example, halogens, can reduce, minimize or eliminate this metabolic pathway.
The compounds described herein may be labeled isotopically (e.g., using a radioisotope) or by another means including, but not limited to, using a chromophore or a fluorescent moiety, a bioluminescent label or a chemiluminescent label. The compounds of formula (G), formula (G-I) and formula (G-II) may have one or more stereogenic centers, and each center may be present in either the R or S configuration. The compounds presented herein include all diastereomeric, symmetric and epimeric forms, and appropriate mixtures thereof. The compounds of formula (G), formula (G-I) and formula (G-II) can be prepared as their individual stereoisomers by reacting a racemic mixture of the compounds with an optically active resolving agent to form a pair of diastereomeric compounds, separating the diastereomers and recovering the optically pure enantiomers. Although resolution of the symmetrical isomers can be performed using covalent diastereomeric derivatives of the compounds described herein, dissociative complexes are preferred (e.g., crystalline diastereomeric salts). Diastereomers have different physical properties (e.g., melting points, boiling points, solubilities, reactivities, etc.) and can be readily separated by exploiting these dissimilarities. Diastereomers may be separated by chiral chromatography, or preferably by separation/resolution techniques based on differences in solubility. The optically pure isomer is then recovered, along with the resolving agent, by any practical method that does not cause racemization. Techniques applicable to resolving stereoisomeric mixtures of compounds from their racemic mixtures are described in more detail in Jean Jacques, Andre Collet, Samuel H.Wilen, "isomers, racemates and resolution", John Wiley & Sons, 1981, the entire contents of which are incorporated herein by reference.
In addition, the compounds and methods provided herein can exist as geometric isomers. The compounds and methods provided herein include all cis, trans, ipsilateral, contralateral, trans (entgegen) (E) and cis (zusammen) (Z) isomers, as well as suitable mixtures thereof. In some cases, the compounds may exist as tautomers. All tautomers that are encompassed within the formulae described herein are provided by the compounds and methods herein. In other embodiments of the compounds and methods provided herein, mixtures of symmetric isomers and/or diastereomers resulting from a single preparation step, combination, or interconversion can also be used for the applications described herein.
The route of administration

Further, parenteral delivery includes intramuscular, subcutaneous, intravenous, intramedullary injections, as well as intrathecal, direct intraventricular, intraperitoneal, intralymphatic, and intranasal injections, to name a few.
Alternatively, the compound may be administered topically rather than systemically, e.g., by direct injection of the compound into an organ, often in depot or sustained release formulations. Such long-acting formulations may be administered by implantation (e.g., subcutaneously or intramuscularly) or by intramuscular injection. Furthermore, we can target drug delivery by administering the drug systemically, such as liposomes coated with organ-specific antibodies. The liposomes will target the organ and be selectively absorbed by it. In addition, the drug may be provided in a rapid release formulation, in a long-term release formulation, or in an intermediate release formulation.

Suitable lipophilic solvents or vehicles include fatty oils, such as sesame oil, or synthetic fatty acid esters, such as ethyl oleate or triglycerides, or liposomes. Aqueous injection suspensions may contain substances which increase the viscosity of the suspension, such as sodium carboxymethyl cellulose, sorbitol, or dextran. The suspension may also optionally contain suitable stabilizers or agents that increase the solubility of the compound to allow for the preparation of highly concentrated solutions. Alternatively, the active ingredient may be in powder form for constitution with a suitable vehicle, e.g., sterile, pyrogen-free water, before use.

Certain organic solvents, such as N-methyl tetrahydropyrrolone, may also be employed, often at the expense of greater toxicity. Alternatively, the compounds may be delivered using a sustained release system, such as a semipermeable matrix of a solid hydrophobic polymer containing the therapeutic agent. Various sustained release materials are established and are well known to the skilled artisan. Sustained release capsules, depending on their chemical nature, release the compound over a period of weeks up to over 100 days.

The compounds of formula (G), formula (G-I) and formula (G-II) are useful in the preparation of medicaments for the treatment of leukotriene-dependent or leukotriene mediated diseases or conditions. Furthermore, a method of treating any of the diseases or conditions described herein in a patient in need of such treatment involves administering a pharmaceutical composition containing at least one compound of any of formula (G), formula (G-I), or formula (G-II), or a pharmaceutically acceptable salt, pharmaceutically acceptable N-oxide, pharmaceutically active metabolite, pharmaceutically acceptable prodrug, or pharmaceutically acceptable solvate thereof, to the patient in a therapeutically effective amount.
Compositions containing the compounds described herein can be administered for prophylactic and/or therapeutic treatment. In therapeutic applications, these compositions are administered to a patient already suffering from a disease or condition in an amount sufficient to cure or at least partially arrest the signs of the disease or condition. The amount effective for this use will depend on the severity and duration of the disease or condition, previous therapy, the patient's health, weight and response to the drug, and the judgment of the treating physician. It is considered well within the skill of the art to determine such therapeutically effective amounts by routine experimentation, including but not limited to dose escalation clinical trials.
In prophylactic applications, compositions containing the compounds described herein are administered to a patient susceptible to infection or at risk for a particular disease, disorder, or condition. Such an amount is defined as a "prophylactically effective amount or dose". In this application, the correct amount will also depend on the health status, weight, etc. of the patient. It is considered well within the skill of the art to determine such prophylactically effective amounts by routine experimentation, including but not limited to dose escalation clinical trials. When used in a patient, an effective amount for this use will depend on the severity and duration of the disease, disorder or condition, previous therapy, the patient's health and response to the drug, and the judgment of the treating physician.
In the case where the patient's symptoms are not improved, the administration of the compound may be administered in a chronic manner, i.e., over an extended period of time, including the entire life span of the patient, at the discretion of the physician, to improve or otherwise control or limit the signs of the patient's disease or symptoms.
In the case where the patient's condition does improve, the administration of the compound may be administered continuously, at the discretion of the physician; alternatively, the dose of drug administered may be temporarily reduced or temporarily suspended for a specified length of time (i.e., a "drug holiday"). The length of the drug withdrawal period may vary between 2 days and 1 year, including, by way of example only, 2 days, 3 days, 4 days, 5 days, 6 days, 7 days, 10 days, 12 days, 15 days, 20 days, 28 days, 35 days, 50 days, 70 days, 100 days, 120 days, 150 days, 180 days, 200 days, 250 days, 280 days, 300 days, 320 days, 350 days, and 365 days. The dose reduction during drug cessation can be 10% -100%, by way of example only, including 10%, 15%, 20%, 25%, 30%, 35%, 40%, 45%, 50%, 55%, 60%, 65%, 70%, 75%, 80%, 85%, 90%, 95%, and 100%.
Once improvement of the patient's symptoms has occurred, a maintenance dose is administered if necessary. The dose or frequency of administration, or both, can then be reduced as a function of the indication to the extent that the improved disease, disorder or symptom is maintained. However, upon any recurrence of the signs, the patient may require intermittent treatment on a long-term basis.
The amount of a particular agent corresponding to such amount will vary depending upon factors such as the particular compound, the disease state and its severity, the identity (e.g., body weight) of the patient or host to be treated, but nonetheless can be routinely determined in a manner known in the art, depending upon the particular circumstances surrounding the case, including, for example, the particular agent being administered, the route of administration, the condition being treated, and the patient or host being treated. In general, however, the dose employed for treatment of adult humans is typically in the range of 0.02 to 5000 mg per day, preferably 1 to 1500 mg per day. The desired dose may conveniently be presented in a single dose, or administered simultaneously in separate doses (or over a short period of time), or at appropriate intervals, for example two, three, four or more sub-doses per day.
The pharmaceutical compositions described herein may be in unit dosage form suitable for single administration of the correct dosage. In unit dosage form, a formulation is divided into unit doses containing appropriate amounts of one or more compounds. The unit dose can be in the form of a package containing discrete quantities of the formulation. Non-limiting examples are packed tablets or capsules, and powders in vials or ampoules. The aqueous suspension composition may be packaged in a single dose non-reclosable container. Alternatively, multiple dose reclosable containers may be used, in which case preservatives are typically added to the composition. By way of example only, formulations for parenteral injection may be presented in unit dosage form, including but not limited to ampoules, or in multi-dose containers with an added preservative.
A daily dosage suitable for any compound of formula (G), formula (G-I) or formula (G-II) described herein is about 0.01 to 2.5 mg/kg, based on body weight. The daily dosage required in larger mammals, including but not limited to humans, is in the range of about 0.5 mg to about 100 mg, and may conveniently be administered in divided doses, including but not limited to up to four times a day, or in extended release form. Suitable unit dosage forms for oral administration contain from about 1 mg to 50 mg of the active ingredient. The foregoing ranges are merely indicative, as the number of variables relating to individual therapeutic regimens is large, and considerable drift from these suggested values is not unusual. Such dosages may vary depending upon a number of variables, not limited to the activity of the compound employed, the disease or condition to be treated, the mode of administration, the amount required of the individual patient, the severity of the disease or condition being treated, and the judgment of the practitioner.
Toxicity and therapeutic efficacy of such therapeutic regimens can be determined by standard pharmaceutical procedures, including but not limited to LD, in cell cultures or experimental animals50(dose lethal to 50% of the population) and ED50(in a therapeutically effective dose in 50% of the population). The dose ratio between toxic and therapeutic effects is the therapeutic index and it may be LD 50With ED50The ratio between them. Compounds that exhibit high therapeutic indices are preferred. Data from cell culture assays and animal studies can be used to formulate a range of doses for use in humans. The dosage of such compounds is preferably within the circulating concentration range, which includes ED with minimal toxicity50. The dosage may vary within this range depending upon the dosage form employed and the route of administration utilized.
Use of FLAP modulators for the prevention and/or treatment of leukotriene dependence or leukotriene mediated pathways Disease or symptom of
Treatment of leukotriene-dependent or leukotriene mediated diseases or conditions is designed to modulate the activity of FLAP. Such modulation, by way of example only, may include inhibition or antagonism of FLAP activity. For example, a FLAP inhibitor may be administered to reduce leukotriene synthesis in an individual, or possibly down-regulate or reduce the expression or availability of FLAP mRNA or a specific conjugative variant of FLAP mRNA. Down-regulation or reduction of the expression or availability of the native FLAP mRNA or specific zygosity variant minimizes the expression or activity of defective nucleic acids or specific zygosity variants and thereby minimizes the impact of defective nucleic acids or specific zygosity variants.

Combination therapy
In certain instances, at least one compound of any of formula (G), formula (G-I), or formula (G-II) may be suitably administered, in combination with another therapeutic agent. By way of example only, if one of the side effects experienced by a patient receiving one of the compounds herein is inflammation, then an anti-inflammatory agent may be suitably administered, in combination with the initial therapeutic agent. Alternatively, by way of example only, the therapeutic effectiveness of one of the compounds described herein may be enhanced by the administration of an adjuvant (i.e., the adjuvant itself may have minimal therapeutic benefit, but in combination with another therapeutic agent, the overall therapeutic benefit to the patient is enhanced). Alternatively, by way of example only, the benefit experienced by a patient may be increased by administering one of the compounds described herein, with another therapeutic agent that also has therapeutic benefit (which also includes therapeutic regimens). By way of example only, in a context involving administration of one of the compounds described herein to treat asthma, an increased therapeutic benefit may result from also providing the patient with other asthma treatments or therapies. Overall, regardless of the disease, disorder, or condition being treated, the overall benefit experienced by the patient may be simply the addition of the two therapeutic agents, or the patient may experience a synergistic benefit.
It is known to the skilled artisan that when drugs are used in therapeutic combinations, the therapeutically effective dose may vary. Methods for experimentally determining therapeutically effective doses of drugs and other agents for use in combination therapeutic regimens are described in the literature. For example, the use of metronomic dosing, i.e. providing more frequent, lower doses to minimize toxic side effects, has been widely described in the literature. A combination therapeutic regimen may encompass a therapeutic regimen wherein administration of the FLAP or 5-LO inhibitor described herein is initiated before, during, or after treatment with the second agent described above and continues until any time during treatment with the second agent, or after treatment with the second agent is terminated. It also includes treatments wherein the FLAP or 5-LO inhibitor described herein is administered concurrently or at different times and/or at decreasing or increasing intervals during the treatment, in combination with a second agent. Combination therapy further includes periodic therapy, which is started and stopped at different times to aid in the clinical management of the patient. For example, the FLAP or 5-LO inhibitors described herein in combination therapy may be administered weekly at the start of treatment, reduced to biweekly, and further reduced as appropriate.
Compositions and methods relating to combination therapy are provided herein. According to one aspect, the pharmaceutical compositions disclosed herein are used to treat leukotriene-dependent or leukotriene mediated symptoms. According to another aspect, the pharmaceutical compositions disclosed herein are used for the treatment of respiratory diseases, where treatment with a FLAP inhibitor, particularly asthma, is required, and induces bronchodilation in a patient. In one embodiment, the pharmaceutical compositions disclosed herein are used to treat a patient having a condition driven by vascular inflammation. In one embodiment, the pharmaceutical compositions disclosed herein are used to treat patients susceptible to Myocardial Infarction (MI).
The combination therapies described herein may be used as part of a particular therapeutic regimen intended to provide the beneficial effects resulting from the co-action of the FLAP inhibitors described herein with co-therapy. It will be appreciated that the dosage regimen for treating, preventing or ameliorating the symptoms sought to be alleviated may be modified depending on a variety of factors. These factors include the type of respiratory disorder and the type of bronchiectasis that the patient suffers from, as well as the age, weight, sex, diet and medical condition of the patient. Thus, the dosage regimen actually employed may vary widely and thus may deviate from the dosage regimens set forth herein.
For the combination therapies described herein, the dosage of the co-administered compounds will, of course, vary depending upon the type of co-drug employed, the particular drug employed, the disease or condition being treated, and the like. In addition, when co-administered with one or more bioactive agents, the compounds provided herein can be administered either simultaneously, or sequentially with the bioactive agent. If administered sequentially, the physician in charge will decide the appropriate order of administering the proteins and co-administering the bioactive agents.
In general, multiple therapeutic agents (one of which is one of the compounds described herein) can be administered in any order or even simultaneously. If simultaneous, multiple therapeutic agents may be provided in a single, unitary form, or in multiple forms (whether in a single pill or in two separate pills, for example only). One of the therapeutic agents may be administered in multiple doses, or both may be administered in multiple doses. If not the same, the timing between multiple doses may be changed from greater than zero weeks to less than four weeks. Furthermore, the combination methods, compositions, and formulations are not limited to the use of only two agents; the use of multiple therapeutic combinations is also envisaged.
In addition, any compound of formula (G), formula (G-I) or formula (G-II) may also be used in combination with procedures that may provide additional or synergistic benefits to the patient. By way of example only, it is contemplated that a patient will find therapeutic and/or prophylactic benefit in the methods described herein, wherein any pharmaceutical composition of formula (G), formula (G-I), or formula (G-II) and/or combination with other therapeutic agents is combined with a gene test to determine whether the individual is a carrier of a mutated gene, which is known to be associated with certain diseases or conditions.
Any compound of formula (G), formula (G-I) or formula (G-II) and combination therapy can be administered before, during or after the onset of the disease or condition, and the timing of administration of the composition containing the compound can vary. Thus, for example, the compounds can be used as prophylactic agents and can be administered continuously to patients having a predisposition to develop a condition or disease to prevent the occurrence of the disease or condition. The compounds and compositions may be administered to the patient during or as soon as possible after the sign is developed. Administration of the compound may be initiated within the first 48 hours of sign development, preferably within the first 6 hours of sign development, and most preferably within 3 hours of sign development. The initial administration can be via any practical route, such as intravenous injection, bolus injection, infusion over a period of 5 minutes to about 5 hours, pill, capsule, transdermal patch, buccal delivery, and the like, or a combination thereof. The compound is preferably administered once feasible after the development of the disease or condition is detected or suspected, and over a period of time necessary to treat the disease, e.g., about 1 month to about 3 months. The length of treatment may vary from patient to patient, and this length may be determined using known criteria. For example, the compound or formulation containing the compound may be administered for at least 2 weeks, preferably from about 1 month to about 5 years, and more preferably from about 1 month to about 3 years.
For example, a therapy combining any compound of formula (G), formula (G-I) or formula (G-II) with an inhibitor of leukotriene synthesis or leukotriene receptor antagonist, whether acting at the same or other point in the leukotriene synthesis pathway, may prove particularly useful in the treatment of leukotriene-dependent or leukotriene mediated diseases or conditions. Furthermore, by way of example, any combination of a compound of formula (G), formula (G-I) or formula (G-II) with an inflammation inhibitor may prove particularly useful in the treatment of leukotriene-dependent or leukotriene mediated diseases or conditions.
Anti-inflammatory agent
In another embodiment described herein, a method of treating leukotriene dependence or leukotriene locus is providedA method of mediating a condition or disease comprising administering to a patient a compound, pharmaceutical composition or medicament described herein, and in combination with an anti-inflammatory agent, including but not limited to arsotere (artrotec), arsacol (asacol), oraraglan (auralglan), sulfasalazine, Daypro (Daypro), etodolac (etodolac), mefenamic acid, salofuk (salofalk), and lodrol (solumedrol); non-steroidal anti-inflammatory agents, for example, aspirin (Bayer) TM,BufferinTM) Indomethacin (indomethacin) (Indocin)TM) Rofecoxib (Vioxx)TM) Celecoxib (celecoxib) (CELEBREX)TM) Wedgesbeib (Bextra)TM) Diclofenac, etodolac, ketoprofen, flodine, mobicn, nabumetone, naproxen, pyrilamine; and corticosteroids, such as, for example, Cejostoh (celesterone), prednisone, and deltasone. Corticosteroids do not directly inhibit leukotriene production and thus co-administration with steroids may provide additional anti-inflammatory benefits.
Asthma, for example, is a chronic inflammatory disease characterized by hyperphagia of the lung and high responsiveness of the airways. Zhao et al, proteomics research, 7/4/2005. In patients with asthma, leukotrienes are released from mast cells, eosinophils, and basophils. Leukotrienes are involved in the contraction of airway smooth muscle, increase in vascular permeability and mucus secretions, and have been reported to attract and activate inflammatory cells in the asthmatic airways (Siegel et al, eds., basic neurochemistry, molecular, cellular and medical aspects, sixth edition, Lippincott Williams & Wilkins, 1999). Thus, in another embodiment described herein, a method of treating a respiratory disease comprises administering to a patient a compound, pharmaceutical composition or medicament described herein, and in combination with an anti-inflammatory agent.
Leukotriene receptor antagonists
Herein, theIn another embodiment, the method of treating a leukotriene-dependent or leukotriene mediated condition or disease comprises administering to a patient a compound, pharmaceutical composition or medicament described herein in combination with a leukotriene receptor antagonist, including but not limited to CysLT1/CysLT2Dual receptor antagonists, and CysLT1A receptor antagonist. In another embodiment described herein, a method of treating a leukotriene-dependent or leukotriene mediated condition or disease comprises administering to a patient a compound, pharmaceutical composition or medicament described herein in combination with CysLT1/CysLT2A dual receptor antagonist. CysLT1/CysLT2Dual receptor antagonists include, but are not limited to, BAY u9773, Cuthbert et al EP 00791576 (published 27.8.1997), DUO-LT (Galczenski et al, D38, Poster F4, filed by the American thoracic society, 5.2002), and Tsuji et al, org.Biomol.Chem., 1, 3139-. The most appropriate formulation or method of treatment using such a combination may depend on the type of leukotriene-dependent or leukotriene mediated disorder, the period in which the FLAP inhibitor is used to treat the disorder, and CysLT therein, for a particular patient 1/CysLT2Depending on the period of time in which the dual receptor antagonist is used to inhibit the activity of the CysLT receptor. By way of example only, such combination therapy may be used to treat patients suffering from respiratory disorders.
In another embodiment described herein, a method of treating a leukotriene-dependent or leukotriene mediated condition or disease comprises administering to a patient a compound, pharmaceutical composition or medicament described herein in combination with CysLT1A receptor antagonist. CysLT1Receptor antagonists include, but are not limited to, miscellaneous Lucifusts (Zafirlukast) ("AcclateTM"), Montelukast (" Singulair ")TM"), Pranlukast (Pranlukast) (" OnonTM") and derivatives or analogs thereof. Such combinations are useful in the treatment of leukotriene-dependent or leukotriene mediated disorders, including respiratory disorders.
FLAP or 5 as described herein-LO inhibitors and CysLT1Receptor antagonists or bis-CysLT1/CysLT2Co-administration of receptor antagonists may have therapeutic benefit over and above that derived from either FLAP or 5-LO inhibitors or CysLT1The benefit of the R antagonist alone.

CysLT is used for treating leukotrinin-based symptoms or diseases 1 /CysLT 2 Receptor antagonists Of
According to another aspect, the compositions and methods described herein are designed to transmit CysLT1/CysLT2Dual receptor antagonists to block CysLT receptor activity. The term "CysLT antagonist" or "CysLT receptor antagonist" or "leukotriene receptor antagonist" refers to a decrease in Cy sLT is signaled through the therapy of the CysLT receptor. CysLT is typically either LTC4、LTD4Or LTE4. Cysteaminyl leukotrienes are effective smooth muscle contractants, particularly in the respiratory and circulatory systems. These are via at least two cellular receptors, CysLT1And CysLT2The channel is accessed. CysLT1Receptors and CysLT2The receptor is a G-protein coupled receptor with seven putative transmembrane domains, and an intracellular functional site that interacts with G-proteins, Evans et al, prostaglandins and other lipid mediators, 68-69, pages 587-597, (2002). CysLT1/CysLT2Examples of dual receptor antagonists are BAY u9773, Cuthbert et al EP 00791576 (published 27.8.1997), DUO-LT (Galczenski et al, D38, Poster F4, proceedings of the thoracic society of America, 5.2002), and Tsuji et al, org.Biomol.Chem., 1, 3139-.

Such techniques and methods include, by way of example, simplistic type assessment of genes (genotyping), monitoring/measurement of biomarkers (phenotyping), monitoring/measurement of functional markers (phenotyping), which is the display of a patient's response to known modulators of the leukotriene pathway, or any combination thereof.
Genotype analysis: FLAP polytropy
Human FLAP has been purified and clonally propagated and is an 18 kilodalton cell membrane-bound protein that is most highly expressed in human neutrophils. The FLAP gene is located at 13q 12 and has been linked to increased risk for both myocardial infarction and stroke in several populations of individuals. Among the genes encoding FLAP, a variety of polymorphism and simple types have been identified in individuals (U.S. patent application 2005113408; Sayers, Clin. exp. allergy, 33 (8): 1103-10, 2003; Kedda et al, Clin. exp. allergy, 35 (3): 332-8, 2005). The specific FLAP simplex type has been linked to myocardial infarction and stroke in several populations of individuals (Helgadottir A et al, Nature Genet.36: 233-; helgadottir A et al, Am J Hum Genet 76: 505-; lohmussaar E et al, Stroke 36: 731-736 (2005); kajimoto K et al, Circ J69: 1029-1034(2005) previously, polymorphism in certain genes has been shown to correlate with responsiveness to particular therapies, such as cancer responsiveness to particular chemotherapeutic agents (Erichsen et al, br.j. cancer, 90 (4)): 747-51, 2004, Sullivan et al, oncogene, 23 (19): 3328-37, 2004), accordingly, patients considered to be treated with the novel FLAP inhibitors described herein, or a pharmaceutical combination comprising such novel FLAP inhibitors, may be screened, potentially responsive to treatment based on its FLAP polymorphism or simple type.
In addition, polymorphisms in any synthetic or signaling genes specific for the leukotriene pathway can cause patients to be more or less responsive to leukotriene modulator therapy (whether FLAP or 5-LO inhibitors or leukotriene receptor antagonists). The genes specific for leukotriene pathway are 5-lipoxygenase, 5-lipoxygenase-activating protein, LTA4Hydrolase, LTC4Synthetase, LTB4Receptor 1 (BLT)1)、LTB4Receptor 2 (BLT)2) Cysteaminoyl leukotriene receptor 1 (CysLT)1R), cysteaminoyl leukotriene receptor 2 (CysLT)2R). For example, the 5-LO gene has been linked to aspirin intolerance asthma and airway hyperresponsiveness (Choi JH et al HumGenet 114: 337-344 (2004); Kim SH et al allergy 60: 760-765 (2005); genetic variation in the promoter region of 5-LO has been demonstrated to predict clinical response to 5LO inhibitors in asthma (Drazen et al Nature Genetics, 22, 168-170, (1999)). LTC4The synthetase genes have been linked to specific reactivity and asthma (Moissidi I et al Genet Med 7: 406-410 (2005)). CysLT2The receptor has been linked to asthma and idiosyncratic activity (Thompson MD et al, Genetiol 13: 641-649 (2003); Pilai SG et al, Genetiol 14: 627-633 (2004); Park JS et al, Pharmacogenet Genomics 15: 483-492 (2005); Fukai H et al, Genetiol 14: 683-690 (2004)). Any polymorphism or combination of simple types in any leukotriene pathway gene can cause a patient to become more susceptible to alteration of therapy with the aim of reducing leukotriene pathology. The choice of patients who are likely to respond most well to the leukotriene modulator therapies described herein can include knowledge of the polymorphism in the leukotriene pathway genes, as well as knowledge of the expression of leukotriene driven mediators. Patient selection can be performed on the basis of leukotriene pathway genotype alone, phenotype alone (biomarker or functional marker), or any combination of genotype and phenotype.
"Simplex type" as used herein refers to a combination of gene markers ("alleles"). The simple type can include one or more dual genes (e.g., a simple type containing a single SNP), two or more dual genes, three or more dual genes, four or more dual genes, or five or more dual genes. The gene marker is a specific "allele" at the "polymorphic site" associated with the FLAP. Within a population, more than one order on a nucleotide position is possible, referred to herein as a "polymorphic position". In the case of a polymorphic locus that is a single nucleotide in length, the locus is referred to as a single nucleotide polymorphism ("SNP"). For example, if at a particular chromosomal location, one member of the population has an adenine and another member of the population has a thymine at the same position, then that position is a polymorphic position, and more specifically, the polymorphic position is a SNP. Polymorphic sites may allow for differences in the order of substitution, insertion or deletion. With respect to each sequential variation of a polymorphic site, it is referred to herein as a "allele" of the polymorphic site. Thus, in the previous examples, SNPs allow for both adenine and thymine duplers.
Typically, a reference order is referred to as a specific order. The allele that differs from the reference is referred to as the "variant" allele. The term "variant FLAP" as used herein refers to an order that is different from a reference FLAP order, but otherwise substantially similar. The gene markers that constitute the plain type described herein are FLAP variants. In certain embodiments, the FLAP variant is at least about 90% similar to the reference order. In other embodiments, the FLAP variant is at least about 91% similar to the reference sequence. In other embodiments, the FLAP variant is at least about 92% similar to the reference sequence. In other embodiments, the FLAP variant is at least about 93% similar to the reference sequence. In other embodiments, the FLAP variant is at least about 94% similar to the reference sequence. In other embodiments, the FLAP variant is at least about 95% similar to the reference sequence. In other embodiments, the FLAP variant is at least about 96% similar to the reference sequence. In other embodiments, the FLAP variant is at least about 97% similar to the reference sequence. In other embodiments, the FLAP variant is at least about 98% similar to the reference sequence. In other embodiments, the FLAP variant is at least about 99% similar to the reference sequence.
Furthermore, in certain embodiments, the FLAP variant is at least one base different from the reference sequence, while in other embodiments, the FLAP variant is at least two bases different from the reference sequence. In other embodiments, the FLAP variant is at least three bases different from the reference sequence, and in yet other embodiments, the FLAP variant is at least four bases different from the reference sequence.
Other variants may include alterations that affect a polypeptide, such as a FLAP polypeptide. The polypeptide encoded by the reference nucleotide sequence is a "reference" polypeptide having a particular reference amino acid sequence, while the polypeptide encoded by the variant allele is referred to as a "variant" polypeptide having a variant amino acid sequence. FLAP nucleic acid sequence differences may include insertions or deletions of a single nucleotide or more than one nucleotide, resulting in a backbone shift when compared to a reference nucleotide sequence; a change in at least one nucleotide that results in a change in the encoded amino acid; a change of at least one nucleotide, which results in the generation of an early stop codon; deletions of several nucleotides, resulting in the deletion of one or more amino acids encoded by the nucleotides; insertion of one or several nucleotides, such as by unequal recombination or gene transformation, results in disruption of the coding sequence; replication of all or a portion of the sequence; transposition is carried out; or rearrangement of nucleotide sequences, as detailed above. Such a change in order alters the polypeptide encoded by the FLAP nucleic acid. For example, if a change in the nucleic acid sequence results in a backbone shift, the backbone shift may result in a change in the encoded amino acid, and/or may result in the generation of an early stop codon, resulting in the generation of a truncated polypeptide.
For example, polymorphisms associated with susceptibility to Myocardial Infarction (MI), Acute Coronary Syndrome (ACS), stroke, or Peripheral Arterial Occlusive Disease (PAOD) can be synonymous changes in one or more nucleotides (i.e., do not result in a change in amino acid sequence). Such polymorphism may, for example, alter conjugation, decrease or increase expression, affect mRNA stability or transport, or otherwise affect transcription or translation of the polypeptide. The simple forms described below are found more frequently in individuals with MI, ACS, stroke, or PAOD than in individuals without MI, ACS, stroke, or PAOD. Thus, these simple types may have predictive value for detecting susceptibility to MI, ACS, stroke, or PAOD in an individual.
Several variants of the FLAP gene have been reported to be associated with the incidence of myocardial infarction in patients (Hakonasson, JAMA, 293 (18): 2245-56, 2005), plus the FLAP gene marker reported to be associated with the risk of developing asthma, has been described in U.S. Pat. No. 6,531,279. Methods for identifying FLAP sequence variations are described, for example, in U.S. publication No. 2005/0113408 and U.S. patent No. 6,531,279, which are incorporated herein by reference in their entirety.
By way of example only, the simple types associated with susceptibility to myocardial infarction or stroke include markers SG13S99, SG13S25, SG13S377, SG13S106, SG13S32, and SG13S35 at the 13q12-13 positions. Alternatively, the presence of the alleles T, G, G, G, A and G at individual SG13S99, SG13S25, SG13S377, SG13S106, SG13S32, and SG13S35 (simple type B6) is diagnostic of susceptibility to myocardial infarction or stroke. Alternatively, the simple types associated with susceptibility to myocardial infarction or stroke include markers SG13S99, SG13S25, SG13S106, SG13S30 and SG13S42 at position 13q 12-13. Alternatively, the presence of the allele T, G, G, G and A in the individual SG13S99, SG13S25, SG13S 13S106, SG13S30 and SG13S42(B5 only type) is diagnostic of susceptibility to myocardial infarction or stroke. Alternatively, the simple types associated with susceptibility to myocardial infarction or stroke include markers SG13S25, SG13S106, SG13S30, and SG13S42 at positions 13q 12-13. Alternatively, the presence of the allele G, G, G and A in the individual SG13S25, SG13S106, SG13S30 and SG13S42(B4 simple type) is diagnostic of susceptibility to myocardial infarction or stroke. Alternatively, the simple types associated with susceptibility to myocardial infarction or stroke include markers SG13S25, SG13S106, SG13S30 and SG13S42 at position 13q 12-13. Alternatively, the presence of the allele G, G, G and A in the individual SG13S25, SG13S106, SG13S30 and SG13S42(Bs4 only type) is diagnostic of susceptibility to myocardial infarction or stroke. In such embodiments as just described, patients under consideration for treatment with any compound of formula (G), formula (G-I) or formula (G-II) or a pharmaceutical combination comprising any compound of formula (G), formula (G-I) or formula (G-II) as described herein can be screened for potential responsiveness to treatment with any compound of formula (G), formula (G-I) or formula (G-II), based on this simple type.
By way of example only, the simple types associated with susceptibility to myocardial infarction or stroke include markers SG13S99, SG13S25, SG13S114, SG13S89, and SG13S32 at positions 13q 12-13. Alternatively, the presence of the allele T, G, T, G and a in the individual SG13S99, SG13S25, SG13S114, SG13S89 and SG13S32(a5 simple type) is a diagnosis of susceptibility to myocardial infarction or stroke. Alternatively, the simple types associated with susceptibility to myocardial infarction or stroke include markers SG13S25, SG13S114, SG13S89 and SG13S32 at position 13q 12-13. Alternatively, the presence of the allele G, T, G and a in the individual SG13S99, SG13S25, SG13S114, SG13S89 and SG13S32(a4 simple type) is a diagnosis of susceptibility to myocardial infarction or stroke. In such embodiments as just described, patients under consideration for treatment with any compound of formula (G), formula (G-I) or formula (G-II) or a pharmaceutical combination comprising any compound of formula (G), formula (G-I) or formula (G-II) as described herein can be screened for potential responsiveness to treatment with any compound of formula (G), formula (G-I) or formula (G-II), based on this simple type.
Detection of simple types can be achieved by methods known in the art for detecting order in polymorphic location, so that patients can be selected using genotype selection for FLAP, 5-LO, or other leukotriene pathway gene polymorphism. The presence or absence of the leukotriene pathway gene polymorphism, or simple type, can be determined by various methods, including, for example, using enzymatic amplification, restriction fragment length polymorphism analysis, nucleic acid sequencing, electrophoretic analysis of nucleic acids from an individual, or any combination thereof. In certain embodiments, a SNP or simple type of assay may identify a patient that will respond to, or benefit from, treatment with any compound of formula (G), formula (G-I), or formula (G-II). For example, a method of diagnosing susceptibility to myocardial infarction or stroke in an individual includes determining the presence or absence of certain Single Nucleotide Polymorphisms (SNPs) or certain simple types, wherein the presence of the SNPs or simple types is diagnostic of susceptibility to myocardial infarction or stroke.
And (3) phenotype analysis: biomarkers
Patients under consideration for treatment with any compound of formula (G), formula (G-I) or formula (G-II) or a pharmaceutical combination comprising any compound of formula (G), formula (G-I) or formula (G-II) as described herein can be screened for potential responsiveness to treatment based on leukotriene-driven inflammatory biomarker phenotypes.
Patient screening based on leukotriene-driven inflammatory biomarker phenotype can be used as an alternative to, or in addition to, patient screening by simple type detection of leukotriene pathway genes. The term "biomarker" as used herein refers to a characteristic that can be measured and evaluated as an indicator of normal biological processes, pathological processes, or pharmacological responses to therapeutic intervention. Thus, a biomarker may be any substance, structure, or process that can be measured in the body or its products, and which can affect or predict outcome or incidence of disease. Biomarkers can be classified as exposure, effect and susceptibility markers. The biomarker may be a physiological endpoint, for example blood pressure, or it may be an analytical endpoint, for example blood glucose or cholesterol concentration. Techniques for monitoring and/or measuring biomarkers include, but are not limited to, NMR, LC-MS/MS, GC-MS/MS, HPLC-MS/MS, FT-MS/MS, ICP-MS/MS,/protein sequencing, nucleic acid sequencing, electrophoresis techniques, immunodetection, immunostaining, in situ hybridization, fluorescent in situ hybridization, PCR, radioimmunoassay, and enzyme immunodetection. Single core acid polymorphism (SNP) has also been used to identify biomarkers for predisposition to certain diseases, as well as susceptibility or responsiveness to drugs, such as chemotherapeutic and antiviral agents. These techniques, or any combination thereof, can be used to screen patients for leukotriene-dependent or leukotriene mediated diseases or symptoms, where such patients can be advantageously treated with any compound of formula (G), formula (G-I), or formula (G-II) or a pharmaceutical combination comprising any compound of formula (G), formula (G-I), or formula (G-II) described herein.
By way of example only, a patient may be selected for treatment with any compound of formula (G), formula (G-I) or formula (G-II), or a pharmaceutical combination comprising any compound of formula (G), formula (G-I) or formula (G-II) as described herein, by screening for enhanced inflammatory blood biomarkers such as, but not limited to, stimulated LTB4、LTC4、LTE4Myeloperoxygenase (MPO), eosinophil-lipoxygenase (EPO), C-reactive protein (CRP), soluble intracellular adhesion molecule (sICAM), single cell chemoattractant protein (MCP-1), single cell inflammatory protein (MIP-1 α), interleukin-6 (IL-6), TH2T cell activator interleukin 4(IL-4) and 13(IL-13) and other inflammatory cytokines. In certain embodiments, patients with inflammatory respiratory disease, including but not limited to asthma and COPD, or patients with cardiovascular disease are selected for their most likely responsiveness to inhibition of leukotriene synthesis, using any of the compounds of formula (G), formula (G-I) or formula (G-II), utilizing a test list of leukotriene-driven inflammatory biomarkers.
And (3) phenotype analysis: functional marker
Patients under consideration for treatment with any compound of formula (G), formula (G-I) or formula (G-II) or a pharmaceutical combination comprising any compound of formula (G), formula (G-I) or formula (G-II) as described herein can be screened for response to known modulators of the leukotriene pathway. Patient screening by assessing functional markers as indicators of patient response to known modulators of the leukotriene pathway can be used as an alternative to, or can be supplemented by, patient screening by simple type detection (genotyping) of leukotriene pathway genes, and/or monitoring/measurement of leukotriene-driven inflammatory biomarker phenotypes. Functional markers may include, but are not limited to, any physical characteristic associated with leukotriene-dependent symptoms or diseases, or knowledge of current or past medication regimens.
By way of example only, assessment of lung volume and/or function may be used as a functional marker for leukotriene-dependent or leukotriene mediated diseases or conditions, such as respiratory diseases. Pulmonary function tests can be used to screen patients for such leukotriene-dependent or leukotriene mediated diseases or conditions for treatment with any of the compounds of formula (G), formula (G-I), or formula (G-II) or pharmaceutical compositions or agents comprising any of the compounds of formula (G), formula (G-I), or formula (G-II). Such tests include, but are not limited to, assessment of lung volume and volume, such as tidal volume, inspiratory reserve volume, expiratory reserve volume, residual volume, inspiratory volume, functional residual volume, lung capacity, total lung volume, minute volume of breathing, alveolar ventilation, timed lung capacity, and ventilation volume. Methods to measure lung volume versus volume include, but are not limited to, maximum expiratory flow volume curve, forced expiratory volume in 1 second (FEV1), peak expiratory flow rate. In addition, other pulmonary function tests used as functional markers for the patient assessment described herein include, but are not limited to, respiratory muscle capacity, highest inspiratory pressure, highest expiratory pressure, trans-diaphragm pressure, ventilation profile, single breath nitrogen test, lung nitrogen washout, and gas transfer.
In addition, knowledge of the patient's past or current therapeutic regimens may be used as a functional marker to aid in screening patients for treatment of leukotriene-dependent symptoms or diseases using any compound of formula (G), formula (G-I) or formula (G-II) or pharmaceutical compositions or agents comprising any compound of formula (G), formula (G-I) or formula (G-II). By way of example only, such therapeutic regimens may include the use of zileuton (Zyflo), a past or current treatmentTM) Montelukast (Singulair)TM) Pranlukast (Onon)TM) Zafirlukast (zafirlukast) (Acclate)TM)。
Moreover, patients contemplated to be treated with any compound of formula (G), formula (G-I), or formula (G-II) or a pharmaceutical combination comprising any compound of formula (G), formula (G-I), or formula (G-II) as described herein can be screened for functional markers including, but not limited to, reduced eosinophils and/or basophils and/or neutrophils and/or single cells and/or dendritic cells and/or lymphocytes recruitment, reduced mucosal secretion, reduced mucosal edema and/or increased bronchodilation.
Methods for identifying patients in need of treatment for leukotriene-dependent or leukotriene mediated symptoms or diseases, and exemplary, non-limiting methods of treatment, are shown in fig. 12, 13 and 14, in which patient samples are analyzed and the information obtained is used to identify possible treatments. It is contemplated that the skilled artisan will use this message in conjunction with other patient messages including, but not limited to, age, weight, sex, diet, and medical condition to select a treatment. It is also contemplated that each message will be given a specific amount in the decision process.
