Definitions
- the present invention relates to novel 4,4-(disubstituted)cyclohexan-l- carboxylate dimers and related compounds, pharmaceutical compositions containing these compounds, and their use in treating allergic and inflammatory diseases and for inhibiting the production of Tumor Necrosis Factor (TNF).
- TNF Tumor Necrosis Factor
- Bronchial asthma is a complex, multifactorial disease characterized by reversible narrowing of the airway and hyperreactivity of the respiratory tract to external stimuli.
- Cyclic AMP adenosine cyclic 3',5- monophosphate
- Cyclic AMP has been shown to be a second messenger mediating the biologic responses to a wide range of hormones, neurotransmitters and drugs; [Krebs Endocrinology Proceedings of the 4th International Congress Excerpta Medica, 17-29, 1973].
- adenylate cyclase is activated, which converts Mg + 2-ATP to cAMP at an accelerated rate.
- Cyclic AMP modulates the activity of most, if not all, of the cells that contribute to the pathophysiology of extrinsic (allergic) asthma.
- cAMP cyclic nucleotide phosphodiesterases
- PDE isozyme
- PDE IV is responsible for cAMP breakdown in airway smooth muscle and inflammatory cells.
- Phosphodiesterase Isozymes Potential Targets for Novel Anti-asthmatic Agents” in New Drugs for Asthma, Barnes, ed. IBC Technical Services Ltd., 1989.
- PDE IV inhibitors are markedly potentiated when adenylate cyclase activity of target cells is elevated by appropriate hormones or autocoids, as would be the case in vivo.
- PDE IV inhibitors would be effective in the asthmatic lung, where levels of prostaglandin E2 and prostacyclin (activators of adenylate cyclase) are elevated.
- Such compounds would offer a unique approach toward the pharmacotherapy of bronchial asthma and possess signi icant therapeutic advantages over agents currently on the market.
- TNF Tumor Necrosis Factor
- rheumatoid arthritis rheumatoid spondylitis
- osteoarthritis gouty arthritis and other arthritic conditions
- sepsis septic shock, endotoxic shock, gram negative sepsis
- toxic shock syndrome adult respiratory distress syndrome
- cerebral malaria chronic pulmonary inflammatory disease
- silicosis pulmonary sarcoidosis
- bone resorption diseases reperfusion injury
- graft vs. host reaction allograft rejections, fever and myalgias due to infection, such as influenza, cachexia secondary to infection or malignancy, cachexia secondary to human acquired immune deficiency syndrome
- AIDS AIDS
- AIDS AIDS
- ARC AIDS related complex
- keloid formation scar tissue formation
- Crohn's disease Crohn's disease
- ulcerative colitis or pyresis
- AIDS results from the infection of T lymphocytes with Human
- HTV Immunodeficiency Virus
- HTV-1 a type or strain of HTV
- HTV-2 a type or strain of HTV
- HTV-3 a type or strain of HTV
- T-cell- mediated immunity is impaired and infected individuals manifest severe opportunistic infections and/or unusual neoplasms.
- HTV entry into the T lymphocyte requires T lymphocyte activation.
- Viruses such as HTV- 1 or HIV-2 infect T lymphocytes after T cell activation and such virus protein expression and/or replication is mediated or maintained by such T cell activation. Once an activated T lymphocyte is infected with HTV, the T lymphocyte must continue to be maintained in an activated state to permit HTV gene expression and/or HTV replication.
- Cytokines are implicated in activated T-cell-mediated HTV protein expression and/or virus replication by playing a role in maintaining T lymphocyte activation. Therefore, interference with cytokine activity such as by inhibition of cytokine production, notably TNF, in an HTV-infected individual aids in limiting the maintenance of T cell activation, thereby reducing the progression of HTV infectivity to previously uninfected cells which results in a slowing or elimination of the progression of immune dysfunction caused by HTV infection.
- Monocytes, macrophages, and related cells, such as kupffer and glial cells have also been implicated in maintenance of the HTV infection.
- T cells like T cells, are targets for viral replication and the level of viral replication is dependent upon the activation state of the cells.
- Monokines such as TNF, have been shown to activate HTV replication in monocytes and or macrophages [See Poli et al., Proc. Natl. Acad. Sci., 87:782-784, 1990], therefore, inhibition of monokine production or activity aids in limiting HTV progression as stated above for T cells.
- TNF has also been implicated in various roles with other viral infections, such as the cvtomegalovirus (CMV), influenza virus, adenovirus, and the herpes virus for similar reasons as those noted.
- CMV cvtomegalovirus
- influenza virus influenza virus
- adenovirus adenovirus
- herpes virus herpes virus
- TNF is also associated with yeast and fungal infections. Specifically Candida albicans has been shown to induce TNF production in vitro in human monocytes and natural killer cells. [See Riipi et al., Infection and Immunity, 58(9):2750-54, 1990; and Jafari et al, Journal of Infectious Diseases, 164:389-95, 1991. See also Wasan et al, Antimicrobial Agents and Chemotherapy, 35,(10):2046-48, 1991; and Luke et al, Journal of Infectious Diseases, 162:211-214,1990]. The ability to control the adverse effects of TNF is furthered by the use of the compounds which inhibit TNF in mammals who are in need of such use. There remains a need for compounds which are useful in treating TNF-mediated disease states which are exacerbated or caused by the excessive and/or unregulated production of TNF.

- compounds of Formula (lb) wherein W, X4 and Z represent W, X4 and Z as defined in relation to Formula (lb) or a group convertible to W, X4 or Z may be prepared from the corresponding ketones as, e.g., compound 1- Scheme 4. by the synthetic procedures described in United States patent application cited above, i.e., 07/862,030 filed 2 April 1992 ; syntheses of such ketone starting materials are described in the aforementioned co-pending application (s) USSN 07/862,083 and its noted progeny.
- the Z and X4 groups may require protection during the coupling and/or reductive steps described herein, followed by deprotection, to provide the Formula (la) and (lb) compounds, as in processes described in a co-pending application U.S. assigned to the same owner and filed on even date herewith; such protective groups are well known to those skilled in the art. (See: Greene, T. and Wuts, P.G.M., Protecting Groups in Organic Synthesis, 2nd Ed., John Wiley and Sons, New York, 1991.)
- diat compounds of die Formula (I) and (lb) may exist in distinct diastereomeric forms possessing distinct physical and biological properties; such isomers may be separated by standard chromatographic methods.
- the following examples are given to illustrate the invention and are not intended to limit it in any fashion. Reference is made to the claims for what is reserved to the inventor hereunder.
- the inhibitory effect of compounds of Formulas (la) or (lb) on in vitro TNF production by human monocytes may be determined by the protocol as described in
- Example 1 demonstrated a positive in vivo response in reducing serum levels of TNF induced by the injection of endotoxin.
- Formulas (la) or (lb) can be determined using a battery of five distinct PDE isozymes.
- the tissues used as sources of the different isozymes are as follows: 1) PDE lb, porcine aorta; 2) PDE Ic, guinea-pig heart; 3) PDE HI, guinea-pig heart; 4) PDE IV, human monocyte; and 5) PDE V (also called "la"), canine trachealis.
- PDEs la, lb, Ic and m are partially purified using standard chromatographic techniques [Torphy and
- PDE IV is purified to kinetic 163 homogeneity by the sequential use of anion-exchange followed by heparin-Sepharose chromatography [Torphy etal, J. Biol. Chem., 267:1798-1804, 1992].
- Phosphodiesterase activity is assayed as described in the protocol of Torphy and Cieslinski, Mol. Pharmacol., 37:206-214, 1990. Positive IC50's in the nanomolar to ⁇ M range for compounds of the workings examples described herein for Formula (I) have been demonstrated.
