Description

PHARMACEUTICAL PIPERAZINE COMPOUNDS The present invention relates to compounds useful as inhibitors of plasminogen activator inhibitor (PAI) , to their preparation and to pharmaceutical and veterinary compositions containing them.
Plasminogen activators (Pas) are serine proteases which control the activation of the zymogen, plasminogen, to the active enzyme plasmin. Plasmin is important in a number of physiological and pathological processes including fibrinolysis, tissue remodelling, tumour growth and metastasis. The glycoprotein plasminogen activator inhibitor (PAI) is an endogenous fast-acting inhibitor of PA activity. PAI is a member of the serpin family and is synthesised by a variety of cells including endothelial cells. An imbalance between PAs and PAI contributes to a number of pathological conditions including haemostasis, inflammation, tumour growth and metastasis.

wherein R2 is as defined above and is optionally protected, with a compound of formula (II) :
Ri—CHO (II)
wherein Rj_ is as defined above and is optionally protected, in the presence of a base in an organic solvent; or (ii) condensing a compound of formula (I') :
wherein Rx is as defined above and is optionally protected, with a compound of formula (III) :
R—CHO (III)
wherein R2 is as defined above and is optionally protected, in the presence of a base in an organic solvent; and, in either case (i) or (ii) , if required, removing optionally present protecting groups and/or, if desired, converting one compound of formula A into another compound of formula A, and/or, if desired, converting a compound of formula A into a pharmaceutically acceptable salt or ester thereof, and/or, if desired, converting a salt or ester into a free compound, and/or, if desired, separating a mixture of isomers of compounds of formula A into the single isomers. A compound of formula A produced directly by the condensation reaction between (I) and (II) or (I') and (III) may be modified, if desired, by converting R-. into a different Rj, group. These optional conversions may be carried out by methods known in themselves. For example, a compound of formula A in which R1 comprises an ester group may be converted to a compound of formula A wherein the corresponding substituent is a free -COOH or OH group, by acid or alkaline hydrolysis at a suitable temperature, for example from ambient temperature to lOOoc. A compound of formula A in which either or both of R-. and R2 includes an -OH group may be converted into a compound of formula A wherein the corresponding substituent is esterified, for example by treating with a suitable carboxylic acid in the presence of an appropriate coupling agent, acid anhydride or acid chloride in an inert solvent. A compound of formula A in which either or both of R1
and R2 includes a -C02H group may be converted into a compound of formula A wherein the corresponding substituent is esterified, for example by treating the carboxylic acid with a suitable C-^-Cg alkyl alcohol in the presence of 1,3- dicyclohexylcarbodiimide in an inert solvent. A compound of formula A in which either or both of Rx and R2 includes a free -C02H group may be converted into a compound of formula A in which the corresponding substituent is a group -C0N(RX1R12) , wherein RX1 and R12 are as defined above, for example by treatment with ammonia or an amine in the presence of 1,3-dicyclohexylcarbodiimide in an inert solvent.
A compound of formula A in which either or both of R-, and R2 includes a free -C02H group may be converted into a compound of formula A wherein the corresponding substituent is a -CH2OH group by reduction, for example using borane in a suitable solvent such as tetrahydrofuran.
A compound of formula A in which either or both of R1 and R2 is a nitro group may be converted into a compound of formula A in which the corresponding substituent is an amino group by reduction under standard conditions, for example by catalytic hydrogenation.
Protecting groups for substituents on R and/or R2 in any of the compounds of formulae (I), (I'), (II) and (III) are optionally introduced prior to step (i) or step (ii) when either or both Rx and R2 include one or more groups which are sensitive to the condensation reaction conditions or incompatible with the condensation reaction, for example a -C00H, -CH20H or amino group. The protecting groups are then removed at the end of the process. Any conventional protecting group suitable for the group R-, and/or R2 in question may be employed, and may be introduced and subsequently removed by well-known standard methods. The condensation reaction between compounds (I) and (II) or (I') and (III) is suitably performed in the presence of a base which is potassium t-butoxide, sodium hydride, potassium carbonate, sodium carbonate, caesium carbonate, sodium acetate, potassium fluoride on alumina, or triethylamine in a solvent such as dimethylformamide, potassium t-butoxide in t-butanol, or a mixture of t- butanol and dimethylformamide (DMF) . The reaction is typically performed at a temperature from 0°c to the reflux temperature of the solvent. The compounds of formula (I) may be prepared by a process comprising reacting l,4-diacetyl-2,5- piperazinedione with a compound of formula (III) as defined above, in the presence of a base in an organic solvent. Similarly, the compounds of formula (I') may be prepared by a process which comprises reacting l,4-diacetyl-2,5- piperazinedione with a compound of formula (II) as defined above, in the presence of a base in an organic solvent.
If necessary, the resulting compound of formula (I) or (I') can be separated from other reaction products by chromatography.
The reaction of 1,4-diacetyl-2, 5-piperazinedione with the compound of formula (III) or (II) is suitably performed under the same conditions as described above for the condensation between compounds (I) and (II), or (I') and (III) .
The substituted aldehydes of formulae (II) and (III) are known compounds or can be prepared from readily available starting materials by conventional methods. The 1,4-diacetyl-2, 5-piperazinedione used as a starting material in the preparation of compounds of formula (I) may be prepared by treating 2, 5-piperazinedione (glycine anhydride) with an acetylating agent. The acetylation may be performed using any conventional acetylating agent, for example acetic anhydride under reflux or, alternatively, acetic anhydride at a temperature below reflux in the presence of 4-dimethylaminopyridine.
Compounds of formula (I) may also be prepared by the microwave irradiation of a mixture comprising 1,4-diacetyl- 2, 5-piperazinedione, a compound of formula (III) and potassium fluoride on alumina (as base) in the absence of solvent.
Compounds of formula (I) may alternatively be prepared directly from 2, 5-piperazinedione (glycine anhydride) by a process which comprises treating the 2,5-piperazinedione with a mixture comprising a compound of formula (III) , sodium acetate and acetic anhydride at an elevated temperature, for example under reflux. Compounds of formula (I') may be prepared by analogous processes, replacing compound (III) in each case by a compound of formula (II) .
Compounds of formula A may also be prepared by a process comprising the microwave irradiation of (i) a mixture comprising a compound of formula (I) as defined above, a compound of formula (II) and potassium fluoride on alumina, or (ii) a mixture comprising a compound of formula (I') a compound of formula (III) and potassium fluoride on alumina, or (iii) a mixture comprising 1,4-diacetyl-2, 5- piperazinedione, a compound of formula (II) , a compound of formula (III) and potassium fluoride on alumina. The irradiation is performed in the absence of a solvent. Compounds of formula (A) may also be obtained directly by a process which comprises condensing together 1,4- diacetyl-2, 5-piperazinedione, a compound of formula (II) and a compound of formula (III) in the presence of a base in an organic solvent. Suitable bases, solvents and reaction conditions are as described above for the condensation reaction between, for example, compounds (I) and (II) .
An alternative direct process for the preparation of compounds of formula (A) comprises condensing together 2,5- piperazinedione, a compound of formula (II) and a compound of formula (III) in the presence of sodium acetate and acetic anhydride at elevated temperature, for example under reflux.
An alternative process for the preparation of compounds of formula (I) comprises treating a compound of formula (V) : wherein R6 to R10 are as defined above, X is a halogen and R' is a CJ-CJ alkyl group, with ammonia followed by acetic anhydride.
Compounds of formula (I') may be prepared by an analogous process which comprises treating a compound of formula (V ) :
wherein Rx to Rs, X and R' are as defined above, with ammonia followed by acetic anhydride.

A review of synthetic approaches to unsaturated 3- monosubstituted and 3, 6-disubstituted-2,5-piperazinediones is provided in Heterocycles, 1983, 2J), 1407 (C.Shin) .
Compounds of formula (A) may be optionally washed after any of the above preparative procedures with one or more of the following: water, ethanol, ethyl acetate and diethyl ether.
Where appropriate compounds of formula (A) may be optionally recrystallised from a suitable solvent such as methanol or acetic acid.
Compounds of formula (A) may be converted into pharmaceutically acceptable salts, and salts may be converted into the free compound, by conventional methods. Suitable salts include salts with pharmaceutically acceptable, inorganic or organic, acids or bases. Examples of inorganic bases include ammonia and carbonates, hydroxides and hydrogen carbonates of group I and group II metals such as sodium, potassium, magnesium and calcium. Examples of organic bases include aliphatic and aromatic amines such as methylamine, triethylamine, benzylamine, dibenzylamine or a- or β-phenylethylamine, and heterocyclic bases such as piperidine, 1-methylpiperidine and morpholine. Examples of inorganic acids include hydrochloric acid, sulphuric acid and orthophosphoric acid. Examples of organic acids include p-toluenesulphonic acid, methansulphonic acid, mucic acid and succinic acid.
Compounds of formula (A) may also be converted into pharmaceutically acceptable esters. Suitable esters include branched or unbranched, saturated or unsaturated d-Cg alkyl esters, for example methyl, ethyl and vinyl esters.
The diketopiperazines of formula (A) , both novel and known and their pharmaceutically acceptable salts and esters (referred to hereinafter as the "present compounds") have utility as inhibitors of PAI. Elevated levels of PAI- 1, by reducing the net endogenous fibrinolytic capacity, can contribute to the pathogenesis of various thrombotic disorders including myocardial infarction, deep vein thrombosis and disseminated intravascular coagulation. The present compounds therefore can act as inhibitors of the tPA/PAI-1 interaction. The present compounds can be used in the treatment of haemostatic disorders. A human or animal, e.g. a mammal, can therefore be treated by a method comprising administration of a therapeutically effective amount of a diketopiperazine of formula (A) or a pharmaceutically or veterinarily acceptable salt thereof. Tissue plasminogen activator (tPA) is used as a fibrinolytic agent in the treatment of thrombotic disorders. The efficacy of the tPA in this role may be enhanced if it is administered together with a PAI inhibitor. A human or animal, e.g. a mammal, can therefore be treated by a method comprising the combined administration of a therapeutically effective amount of tPA and a therapeutically effective amount of any one of the present compounds. The present invention also provides products containing a diketopiperazine of formula (A) or a pharmaceutically acceptable salt or ester thereof and tPA as a combined preparation for simultaneous, separate or sequential use in the treatment of thrombotic disorders, for example where there is inappropriate PAI activity. In such products the present compound is formulated for oral or parenteral (intravenous, intramuscular or subcutaneous) administration and the tPA is formulated for intravenous administration. As one example, during acute myocardial infarction (MI) one of the present compounds may be administered to a patient together with tPA to enhance the efficacy of the tPA treatment. As a further example, early re-occlusion following treatment of a patient with tPA may be prevented by the post-MI administration of one of the present compounds.
The compounds of formula (A) have been tested in a PAI functional assay. In this assay, a compound is incubated with PAI-1 prior to addition to the tPA assay system.
Inhibition of PAI-1 results in the production of plasmin from plasminogen. In turn, plasmin cleaves the chromogenic substrate S2251 (Kabi Vitrum) producing pNA (p- nitroaniline) which is detected spectrophotometrically at 405 nm (K.Nilsson et al, Fibrinolysis (1987) .1, 163-168) . The results of the assay are reported below.
The present compounds can be administered in a variety of dosage forms, for example orally such as in the form of tablets, capsules, sugar- or film-coated tablets, liquid solutions or suspensions or parenterally, for example intramuscularly, intravenously or subcutaneously. The present compounds may therefore be given by injection or infusion.
The dosage depends on a variety of factors including the age, weight and condition of the patient and the route of administration. Typically, however, the dosage adopted for each route of administration when a compound of the invention is administered alone to adult humans is 0.001 to 10 mg/kg, most commonly in the range of 0.01 to 5 mg/kg, body weight. Such a dosage may be given, for example, from 1 to 5 times daily by bolus infusion, infusion over several hours and/or repeated administration. When one of the present compounds is administered in combination with tPA to adult humans, the dosage adopted for each route of administration is typically from 0.001 to 10 mg, more typically 0.01 to 5 mg per kg body weight for a compound of the invention and from 5 to 500mg administered intravenously for the tPA. A suitable dosage regimen for the tPA is 100 mg given intravenously over 3 hours as follows: 10% of the total dose as an i.v. bolus over 1-2 minutes, 50% of the total dose as an infusion over 1 hour, 40% of the total dose as an infusion over the subsequent 2 hours.
A diketopiperazine of formula (A) or a pharmaceutically acceptable salt or ester thereof is formulated for use as a pharmaceutical or veterinary composition also comprising a pharmaceutically or veterinarily acceptable carrier or diluent. The compositions are typically prepared following conventional methods and are administered in a pharmaceutically or veterinarily suitable form. An agent for use as an inhibitor of PAI comprising any one of the present compounds is therefore provided.
For example, the solid oral forms may contain, together with the active compound, diluents such as lactose, dextrose, saccharose, cellulose, corn starch or potato starch; lubricants such as silica, talc, stearic acid, magnesium or calcium stearate and/or polyethylene glycols; binding agents such as starches, arabic gums, gelatin, methylcellulose, carboxymethylcellulose, or polyvinyl pyrrolidone; disintegrating agents such as starch, alginic acid, alginates or sodium starch glycolate; effervescing mixtures; dyestuffs, sweeteners; wetting agents such as lecithin, polysorbates, lauryl sulphates. Such preparations may be manufactured in known manners, for example by means of mixing, granulating, tabletting, sugar coating, or film-coating processes.
Liquid dispersions for oral administration may be syrups, emulsions and suspensions. The syrups may contain as carrier, for example, saccharose or saccharose with glycerol and/or mannitol and/or sorbitol. In particular, a syrup for diabetic patients can contain as carriers only products, for example sorbitol, which do not metabolise to glucose or which only metabolise a very small amount to glucose. The suspensions and the emulsions may contain as carrier, for example, a natural gum, agar, sodium alginate, pectin, methylcellulose, carboxymethylcellulose or polyvinyl alcohol.
Suspensions or solutions for intramuscular injections may contain, together with the active compound, a pharmaceutically acceptable carrier such as sterile water, olive oil, ethyl oleate, glycols such as propylene glycol, and, if desired, a suitable amount of lidocaine hydrochloride. Some of the present compounds are insoluble - 26 - in water. A compound may be encapsulated within liposomes.
TESTING OF THE PRESENT COMPOUNDS AS PAI INHIBITORS
Compounds of formula (A) were tested in a PAI chromogenic substrate assay. In the assay (K.Nilsson, Fibrinolysis (1987) JL, 163-168) each compound was incubated with PAI-1 prior to addition to the tPA assay system. Inhibition of PAI-1 by the compound of formula (A) resulted in the production of plasmin from plasminogen. In turn, the plasmin cleaved the chromogenic substrate S2251 (Kabi- Vitrum) producing pNA (jD-nitroaniline) which was detected spectrophotometrically at 405 nm.
The degrees of inhibition observed in the chromogenic substrate assay at various concentrations, and/or IC50 values, of compounds of formula (A) are presented in Table 1. IC50 values for some compounds, not shown in Table 1, are listed in Table 2 which follows Table 1.
