Definitions
- the instant invention is concerned with aryloxyacetic acids and pharmaceutically acceptable salts and prodrugs thereof which are useful as therapeutic compounds, particularly in the treatment of Type 2 diabetes mellitus, often referred to as non-insulin dependent diabetes (NIDDM), of conditions that are often associated with this disease, and of lipid disorders.
- NIDDM non-insulin dependent diabetes
- Diabetes refers to a disease process derived from multiple causative factors and characterized by elevated levels of plasma glucose or hyperglycemia in the fasting state or after administration of glucose during an oral glucose tolerance test. Persistent or uncontrolled hyperglycemia is associated with increased and premature morbidity and mortality. Often abnormal glucose homeostasis is associated both directly and indirectly with alterations of the lipid, lipoprotein and apolipoprotein metabolism and other metabolic and hemodynamic disease. Therefore patients with Type 2 diabetes mellitus are at especially increased risk of macrovascular and microvascular complications, including coronary heart disease, stroke, peripheral vascular disease, hypertension, nephropathy, neuropathy, and retinopathy.
- diabetes mellitus There are two generally recognized forms of diabetes.
- type 1 diabetes or insulin-dependent diabetes mellitus (IDDM)
- IDDM insulin-dependent diabetes mellitus
- NIDDM noninsulin dependent diabetes mellitus
- patients often have plasma insulin levels that are the same or even elevated compared to nondiabetic subjects; however, these patients have developed a resistance to the insulin stimulating effect on glucose and lipid metabolism in the main insulin-sensitive tissues, which are muscle, liver and adipose tissues, and the plasma insulin levels, while elevated, are insufficient to overcome the pronounced insulin resistance.
- Insulin resistance is not primarily due to a diminished number of insulin receptors but to a post-insulin receptor binding defect that is not yet understood. This resistance to insulin responsiveness results in insufficient insulin activation of glucose uptake, oxidation and storage in muscle and inadequate insulin repression of lipolysis in adipose tissue and of glucose production and secretion in the liver.
- the biguanides increase insulin sensitivity resulting in some correction of hyperglycemia.
- the two biguanides, phenformin and metformin can induce lactic acidosis and nausea/diarrhea, respectively.
- the glitazones are a more recently described class of compounds with potential for a novel mode of action in ameliorating many symptoms of type 2 diabetes. These agents substantially increase insulin sensitivity in muscle, liver and adipose tissue in several animal models of type 2 diabetes resulting in partial or complete correction of the elevated plasma levels of glucose without occurrence of hypoglycemia.
- Disorders of lipid metabolism or dyslipidemias include various conditions characterized by abnormal concentrations of one or more lipids (i.e.
- apolipoproteins i.e., apolipoproteins A, B, C and E
- lipoproteins i.e., the macromolecular complexes formed by the lipid and the apolipoprotein that allow lipids to circulate in blood, such as LDL, VLDL and IDL
- Cholesterol is mostly carried in Low Density Lipoproteins (LDL), and this component is commonly known as the "bad" cholesterol because it has been shown that elevations in LDL-cholesterol correlate closely to the risk of coronary heart disease.
- a smaller component of cholesterol is carried in the High Density Lipoproteins and is commonly known as the "good" cholesterol.
- HDL coronary heart disease
- HDL raising agent is nicotinic acid, a drug with limited utility because doses that achieve HDL raising are associated with undesirable effects, such as flushing.
- Dyslipidemias were originally classified by Fredrickson according to the combination of alterations mentioned above. The Fredrickson classification includes 6 phenotypes (i.e., I, Eta, lib, HI, IN and N) with the most common being the isolated hypercholesterolemia (or type Ha) which is usually accompained by elevated concentrations of total and LDL cholesterol.
- the initial treatment for hypercholesterolemia is often to modify the diet to one low in fat and cholesterol, coupled with appropriate physical exercise, followed by drug therapy when LDL- lowering goals are not met by diet and exercise alone
- a second common form of dyslipidemia is the mixed or combined hyperlipidemia or type Hb and HI of the Fredrickson classification.
- This dyslipidemia is often prevalent in patients with type 2 diabetes, obesity and the metabolic syndrome.
- this dyslipidemia there are modest elevations of LDL-cholesterol, accompanied by more pronounced elevations of small dense LDL-cholesterol particles, NLDL and/or DDL (i.e., triglyceride rich lipoproteins), and total triglycerides.
- concentrations of HDL are often low.
- Peroxisome proliferators are a structurally diverse group of compounds that when administered to rodents elicit dramatic increases in the size and number of hepatic and renal peroxisomes, as well as concomitant increases in the capacity of peroxisomes to metabolize fatty acids via increased expression of the enzymes of the beta-oxidation cycle.
- Compounds of this group include but are not limited to the fibrate class of lipid modulating drugs, herbicides and phthalate plasticizers.
- Peroxisome proliferation is also triggered by dietary or physiological factors such as a high-fat diet and cold acclimatization.
- PPAR peroxisome proliferator activated receptor alpha
- PPAR ⁇ peroxisome proliferator activated receptor gamma
- PPAR ⁇ peroxisome proliferator activated receptor delta
- PPAR ⁇ is also associated with the activity of fibrates and fatty acids in rodents and humans.
- Fibric acid derivatives such as clofibrate, fenofibrate, benzafibrate, ciprofibrate, beclofibrate and etofibrate, as well as gemfibrozil, each of which are PPAR ⁇ ligands and/or activators, produce a substantial reduction in plasma triglycerides as well as some increase in HDL.
- the effects on LDL cholesterol are inconsistent and might depend upon the compound and/or the dyslipidemic phenotype.
- this class of compounds has been primarily used to treat hypertriglyceridemia (i.e, Fredrickson Type IN and N) and/or mixed hyperlipidemia.
- the PPAR ⁇ receptor subtypes are involved in activating the program of adipocyte differentiation and are not involved in stimulating peroxisome proliferation in the liver.
- There are two known protein isoforms of PPAR ⁇ PPAR ⁇ l and PPAR ⁇ 2 which differ only in that PPAR ⁇ 2 contains an additional 28 amino acids present at the amino terminus.
- the D ⁇ A sequences for the human isotypes are described in Elbrecht, et al., BBRC 224;431-437 (1996). In mice, PPAR ⁇ 2 is expressed specifically in fat cells.
- PPAR ⁇ 2 regulates the expression of genes through interaction with other proteins and binding to hormone response elements, for example in the 5' flanking regions of responsive genes.
- An example of a PPAR ⁇ 2 responsive gene is the tissue-specific adipocyte P2 gene.
- prostaglandin J2 derivatives have been identified as potential natural ligands of the PPAR ⁇ subtype, which also binds thiazolidinedione antidiabetic agents with high affinity.
- PPAR ⁇ The human nuclear receptor gene PPAR ⁇ (hPPAR ⁇ ) has been cloned from a human osteosarcoma cell cD ⁇ A library and is fully described in A. Schmidt et al., Molecular Endocrinology, 6 : 1634-1641 (1992). It should be noted that PPAR ⁇ is also referred to in the literature as PPAR ⁇ and as NUCl, and each of these names refers to the same receptor; in Schmidt et al. the receptor is referred to as NUCl.
- hNUClB a human PPAR subtype, hNUClB.
- the amino acid sequence of hNUClB differs from human PPAR ⁇ (referred to therein as hNUCl) by one amino acid, i.e., alanine at position 292.
- hNUClB protein represses hPPAR ⁇ and thyroid hormone receptor protein activity.
- WO97/28149 It has been disclosed in WO97/28149 that agonists of PPAR ⁇ are useful in raising HDL plasma levels.
- WO97/27857, 97/28115, 97/28137 and 97/27847 disclose compounds that are useful as antidiabetic, antiobesity, anti- atherosclerosis and antihyperlipidemic agents, and which may exert their effect through activation of PPARs.
- glitazones exert their effects by binding to the peroxisome proliferator activated receptor (PPAR) family of receptors, controlling certain transcription elements having to do with the biological entities listed above.
- PPAR peroxisome proliferator activated receptor
- glitazones that are PPAR agonists have been approved for use in the treatment of diabetes. These include troglitazone, rosiglitazone and pioglitazone, all of which are primarily or exclusively PPAR ⁇ agonists. Many of the newer PPAR agonists that are currently under development or are in clinical trials have dual PPAR ⁇ and ⁇ activity. These are expected to improve both insulin sensitivity and the lipid profile in patients having NIDDM.
- glitazones are beneficial in the treatment of NIDDM, there have been some serious adverse events associated with the use of the compounds. The most serious of these has been liver toxicity, which has resulted in a number of deaths. The most serious problems have occurred using troglitazone. Because of the problems that have occurred with the glitazones, researchers in a number of laboratories have been investigating classes of PPAR agonists that are not glitazones and do not contain 1,3-thiazolidinedione moieties. Compounds that are not glitazones but are agonists of PPAR sub-types are expected to be useful in the treatment of diabetes and associated conditions.
- PPAR ⁇ agonists should improve the lipid profile and alleviate dyslipidemias by reducing elevated LDL levels and elevated triglyceride levels and/or increasing HDL levels. PPAR ⁇ agonists should improve insulin sensitivity, reducing the need for insulin injections in patients with NTDDM. The role of PPAR ⁇ is less well defined.
- the class of compounds described herein is a new class of PPAR agonists that do not contain a 1,3-thiazolidinedione moiety and therefore are not glitazones.
- the class of compounds includes compounds that are primarily PPAR ⁇ agonists and compounds that are mixed PPAR ⁇ / ⁇ agonists.
- These compounds are useful in the treatment, control and/or prevention of diabetes, hyperglycemia, mixed or diabetic dyslipidemia, and other lipid disorders (including isolated hypercholesterolemia as manifested by elevations in LDL-C and/or non-HDL-C and or hyperapoBliproteinemia, hypertriglyceridemia and/or increase in triglyceride- rich-lipoproteins, or low HDL cholesterol concentrations), atherosclerosis, obesity, vascular restenosis, inflammatory conditions, neoplastic conditions, and other PPAR ⁇ and/or ⁇ mediated diseases, disorders and conditions.
- lipid disorders including isolated hypercholesterolemia as manifested by elevations in LDL-C and/or non-HDL-C and or hyperapoBliproteinemia, hypertriglyceridemia and/or increase in triglyceride- rich-lipoproteins, or low HDL cholesterol concentrations
