Definitions

• the invention relates to substituted 4-, 6- or 7-hydroxyindoles with N-oxide groups, processes for their preparation, pharmaceutical preparations containing these compounds and the pharmaceutical use of these compounds, which are inhibitors of phosphodiesterase 4, as active ingredients for the treatment of diseases which are to be influenced by the inhibition of phosphodiesterase 4 activity, in particular in immunocompetent cells (eg macrophages and lymphocytes) by the compounds according to the invention.
• immunocompetent cells eg macrophages and lymphocytes
• Adenylate cyclase synthesizes the effective cyclic AMP (cAMP) and cyclic GMP (cGMP) from AMP and GMP. These lead to relaxation in smooth muscle cells, for example, and inhibition of mediator release or synthesis in inflammatory cells.
• the "second messenger” cAMP and cGMP are degraded by the phosphodiesterases (PDE). So far, 11 families of PDE enzymes (PDE1-11) are known, which differ in their substrate specificity (cAMP, cGMP or both) and the dependence on other substrates (eg calmodulin).
• PDE Phosphodiesterase inhibitors
• the inhibition of PDE 4 by suitable inhibitors is therefore regarded as an important approach for the therapy of a large number of allergy-induced diseases (Schudt, Gh., Dent, G., Rabe, K., Phosphodiesterase Inhibitors, Academic Press London 1996).
• TNF ⁇ tumor necrosis factor ⁇
• TNF ⁇ tumor necrosis factor ⁇
• activated macrophages activated T lymphocytes, mast cells, basophils, fibroblasts, endothelial cells and astrocytes in the brain. It has a self-activating effect on neutrophils, eosinophils, fibroblasts and endothelial cells, which releases various tissue-destroying mediators.
• TNF ⁇ causes the increased production of further pro-inflammatory cytokines, such as GM-CSF (granulocyte-macrophage colony-stimulating factor) or interleukin-8. Due to its inflammatory and catabolic effects, TNF ⁇ plays a central role in a variety of diseases, such as inflammation of the respiratory tract, inflammation of the joints, endotoxic shock, tissue rejection, AIDS and numerous other immunological diseases. Inhibitors of phosphodiesterase 4 are thus also suitable for the therapy of such diseases associated with TNF ⁇ .
• GM-CSF granulocyte-macrophage colony-stimulating factor
• interleukin-8 interleukin-8
• COPD chronic obstructive pulmonary diseases
• COPD chronic obstructive pulmonary diseases
• beta2 agonists e.g. salmeterol
• muscarinergic antagonists e.g. ipratropium
• neutrophilic granulocytes Regardless of the bacterial infections complicating the disease, there is a chronic inflammation in the bronchi, which is dominated by neutrophilic granulocytes.
• the mediators and enzymes released by neutrophilic granulocytes are responsible for the observed structural changes in the airways (emphysema). Inhibiting neutrophil granulocyte activity is thus a rational approach to prevent or slow the progression of COPD (deterioration in lung function parameters).
• An important stimulus for the activation of the granulocytes is the pro-inflammatory cytokine TNF ⁇ (tumor necrosis factor).
• TNF ⁇ stimulates the formation of oxygen radicals by neutrophilic granulocytes
• PDE4 inhibitors can very effectively inhibit the release of TNF ⁇ from a large number of cells and thus suppress the activity of the neutrophil granulocytes.
• the non-specific PDE inhibitor pentoxifylline is able to inhibit both the formation of oxygen radicals and the phagocytosis ability of neutrophil granulocytes (Wenisch, C; Zedtwitz-Liebenstein, K .; Parschalk, B. and Graninger, W .: Effect of pentoxifylline in vitro on neutrophil reactive oxygen production and phagocytic ability assessed by flow cytometry, Clin. Drug Invest, 13 (2): 99-104, 1997).
• PDE 4 inhibitors are already known. These are primarily xanthine derivatives, rolipram analogs or nitraquazone derivatives (overview in: Karlsson, JA, Aldos, D., Phosphodiesterase 4 inhibitors for the treatment of asthma, Exp. Opin. Ther. Patents 1997, 7: 989-1003). So far, none of these compounds has been brought to clinical use. It had to be found that the known PDE4 inhibitors also have various side effects, such as nausea and emesis, which have not been adequately suppressed so far. It is therefore necessary to discover new PDE4 inhibitors with a better therapeutic index.
• Patents US 2,825,734 and US 3,188,313 describe various indol-3-ylglyoxylic acid amides which are described in Scheme 1 shown manner. These compounds were used as intermediates for the production of indole derivatives resulting from reductions. Patent US 3,642,803 also describes indol-3-ylglyoxylic acid amides.
• Farmaco 22 (1967), 229-244 describes the preparation of 5-methoxyindol-3-ylglyoxylic acid amides. Again, the indole derivative used is reacted with oxalyl chloride and the resulting indol-3-ylglyoxylic acid chloride is reacted with an amine.
• 7-azaindol-3-yl-glyoxylic acid amides are known as PDE4 inhibitors from patent application DE 100 53 275 A1, which also describes their preparation and use as therapeutic agents.
