  • the invention relates to substituted pyrazolyl-based carboxamide and urea derivatives bearing a phenyl moiety substituted with an N-containing group as vanilloid receptor ligands, to pharmaceutical compositions containing these compounds and also to these compounds for use in the treatment and/or prophylaxis of pain and further diseases and/or disorders.
  • the subtype 1 vanilloid receptor (VR1/TRPV1 ), which is often also referred to as the capsaicin receptor, is a suitable starting point for the treatment of pain, in particular of pain selected from the group consisting of acute pain, chronic pain, neuropathic pain and visceral pain.
  • This receptor is stimulated inter alia by vanilloids such as capsaicin, heat and protons and plays a central role in the formation of pain.
  • a weak or non-existent interaction with transporter molecules, which are involved in the ingestion and the excretion of pharmaceutical compositions, is also to be regarded as an indication of improved bioavailability and at most low interactions of pharmaceutical compositions.
  • the interactions with the enzymes involved in the decomposition and the excretion of pharmaceutical compositions should also be as low as possible, as such test results also suggest that at most low interactions or no interactions at all, of pharmaceutical compositions are to be expected.
  • the compounds should be suitable in particular as pharmacological active ingredients in pharmaceutical compositions, preferably in pharmaceutical compositions for the treatment and/or prophylaxis of disorders or diseases which are at least partially mediated by vanilloid receptors 1 (VR1/TRPV1 receptors).

Description

Substituted pyrazolyl-based carboxamide and urea derivatives bearing a phenyl moiety substituted with an N-containing group as vanilloid receptor ligands
FIELD OF THE INVENTION
The invention relates to substituted pyrazolyl-based carboxamide and urea derivatives bearing a phenyl moiety substituted with an N-containing group as vanilloid receptor ligands, to pharmaceutical compositions containing these compounds and also to these compounds for use in the treatment and/or prophylaxis of pain and further diseases and/or disorders.
BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION
The treatment of pain, in particular of neuropathic pain, is very important in medicine. There is a worldwide demand for effective pain therapies. The urgent need for action for a patient- focused and target-oriented treatment of chronic and non-chronic states of pain, this being understood to mean the successful and satisfactory treatment of pain for the patient, is also documented in the large number of scientific studies which have recently appeared in the field of applied analgesics or basic research on nociception.
The subtype 1 vanilloid receptor (VR1/TRPV1 ), which is often also referred to as the capsaicin receptor, is a suitable starting point for the treatment of pain, in particular of pain selected from the group consisting of acute pain, chronic pain, neuropathic pain and visceral pain. This receptor is stimulated inter alia by vanilloids such as capsaicin, heat and protons and plays a central role in the formation of pain. In addition, it is important for a large number of further physiological and pathophysiological processes and is a suitable target for the therapy of a large number of further disorders such as, for example, migraine, depression, neurodegenerative diseases, cognitive disorders, states of anxiety, epilepsy, coughs, diarrhoea, pruritus, inflammations, disorders of the cardiovascular system, eating disorders, medication dependency, misuse of medication and urinary incontinence.
Compounds which have an affinity for the subtype 1 vanilloid receptor (VR1/TRPV1 ) are e.g. known from WO 2010/127855-A2 and WO 2010/127856-A2. There is a demand for further compounds having comparable or better properties, not only with regard to affinity to vanilloid receptors 1 (VR1/TRPV1 receptors) per se (potency, efficacy).
Thus, it may be advantageous to improve the metabolic stability, the solubility in aqueous media or the permeability of the compounds. These factors can have a beneficial effect on oral bioavailability or can alter the PK/PD (pharmacokinetic/pharmacodynamic) profile; this can lead to a more beneficial period of effectiveness, for example.
A weak or non-existent interaction with transporter molecules, which are involved in the ingestion and the excretion of pharmaceutical compositions, is also to be regarded as an indication of improved bioavailability and at most low interactions of pharmaceutical compositions. Furthermore, the interactions with the enzymes involved in the decomposition and the excretion of pharmaceutical compositions should also be as low as possible, as such test results also suggest that at most low interactions or no interactions at all, of pharmaceutical compositions are to be expected.
It was therefore an object of the invention to provide novel compounds, preferably having advantages over the prior-art compounds. The compounds should be suitable in particular as pharmacological active ingredients in pharmaceutical compositions, preferably in pharmaceutical compositions for the treatment and/or prophylaxis of disorders or diseases which are at least partially mediated by vanilloid receptors 1 (VR1/TRPV1 receptors).
This object is achieved by the subject matter described herein.
It has surprisingly been found that the substituted compounds of general formula (R), as given below, display outstanding affinity to the subtype 1 vanilloid receptor (VR1 /TRPV1 receptor) and are therefore particularly suitable for the prophylaxis and/or treatment of disorders or diseases which are at least partially mediated by vanilloid receptors 1 (VR1/TRPV1 ).
Particularly suitable are substituted compounds of general formula (R), as given below, that in addition to their activity with regard to the VR1 -receptor show one or more additional advantageous properties, for example, suitable potency, suitable efficacy, no increase in body temperature and/or heat pain threshold; appropriate solubility in biologically relevant media such as aqueous media, in particular in aqueous media at a physiologically acceptable pH value, such as in buffer systems, for instance in phosphate buffer systems; suitable metabolic stability and diversity (e.g. sufficient stability towards the oxidative capabilities of hepatic enzymes such as cytochrome P450 (CYP) enzymes and sufficient diversity with regard to the metabolic elimination via these enzymes); and the like.
The present invention therefore relates to a substituted compound of general formula (R),
(R).

I. Functional testing carried out on the vanilloid receptor 1 (VRI/TRPV1 receptor)
The agonistic or antagonistic effect of the substances to be tested on the rat-species vanilloid receptor 1 (VR1/TRPV1 ) can be determined using the following assay. In this assay, the influx of Ca2+ through the receptor channel is quantified with the aid of a Ca2+-sensitive dye (type Fluo-4, Molecular Probes Europe BV, Leiden, the Netherlands) in a fluorescent imaging plate reader (FLIPR, Molecular Devices, Sunnyvale, USA).
Method:
Complete medium: 50 ml_ HAMS F12 nutrient mixture (Gibco Invitrogen GmbH, Karlsruhe, Germany) with 10 % by volume of FCS (foetal calf serum, Gibco Invitrogen GmbH, Karlsruhe, Germany, heat-inactivated); 2mM L-glutamine (Sigma, Munich, Germany); 1 % by weight of AA solution (antibiotic/antimyotic solution, PAA, Pasching, Austria) and 25 ng/mL NGF medium (2.5 S, Gibco Invitrogen GmbH, Karlsruhe, Germany)
Cell culture plate: Poly-D-lysine-coated, black 96-well plates having a clear base (96-well black/clear plate, BD Biosciences, Heidelberg, Germany) are additionally coated with laminin (Gibco Invitrogen GmbH, Karlsruhe, Germany), the laminin being diluted with PBS (Ca-Mg- free PBS, Gibco Invitrogen GmbH, Karlsruhe, Germany) to a concentration of 100 μg/mL. Aliquots having a laminin concentration of 100 μg mL are removed and stored at -20 'C. The aliquots are diluted with PBS in a ratio of 1 : 10 to 10 μg mL of laminin and respectively 50 μ\- of the solution are pipetted into a recess in the cell culture plate. The cell culture plates are incubated for at least two hours at 37 °C, the excess solution is removed by suction and the recesses are each washed twice with PBS. The coated cell culture plates are stored with excess PBS which is not removed until just before the feeding of the cells.
Preparation of the cells:
The vertebral column is removed from decapitated rats and placed immediately into cold HBSS buffer (Hank's buffered saline solution, Gibco Invitrogen GmbH, Karlsruhe, Germany), i.e. buffer located in an ice bath, mixed with 1 % by volume (per cent by volume) of an AA solution (antibiotic/antimyotic solution, PAA, Pasching, Austria). The vertebral column is cut longitudinally and removed together with fasciae from the vertebral canal. Subsequently, the dorsal root ganglia (DRG) are removed and again stored in cold HBSS buffer mixed with 1 % by volume of an AA solution. The DRG, from which all blood remnants and spinal nerves have been removed, are transferred in each case to 500 μΙ_ of cold type 2 collagenase (PAA, Pasching, Austria) and incubated for 35 minutes at 37 <Ό. After the addition of 2.5 % by volume of trypsin (PAA, Pasching, Austria), incubation is continued for 10 minutes at 37 <Ό. After complete incubation, the enzyme solution is carefully pipetted off and 500 μΙ_ of complete medium are added to each of the remaining DRG. The DRG are respectively suspended several times, drawn through cannulae No. 1 , No. 12 and No. 1 6 using a syringe and transferred to a 50 ml_ Falcon tube which is filled up to 15 ml_ with complete medium. The contents of each Falcon tube are respectively filtered through a 70 μηι Falcon filter element and centrifuged for 1 0 minutes at 1 ,200 rpm and room temperature. The resulting pellet is respectively taken up in 250 μΙ_ of complete medium and the cell count is determined.
The number of cells in the suspension is set to 3 x 1 05 per ml_ and 1 50 μΙ_ of this suspension are in each case introduced into a recess in the cell culture plates coated as described hereinbefore. In the incubator the plates are left for two to three days at 37 °C, 5 % by volume of C02 and 95 % relative humidity. Subsequently, the cells are loaded with 2 μΜ of Fluo-4 and 0.01 % by volume of Pluronic F1 27 (Molecular Probes Europe BV, Leiden, the Netherlands) in HBSS buffer (Hank's buffered saline solution, Gibco Invitrogen GmbH, Karlsruhe, Germany) for 30 min at 37 °C, washed 3 times with HBSS buffer and after further incubation for 1 5 minutes at room temperature used for Ca2+ measurement in a FLIPR assay. The Ca2+-dependent fluorescence is in this case measured before and after the addition of substances ( ex = 488 nm, em = 540 nm). Quantification is carried out by measuring the highest fluorescence intensity (FC, fluorescence counts) over time.
FLIPR assay:
The FLIPR protocol consists of 2 substance additions. First the compounds to be tested (10 μΜ) are pipetted onto the cells and the Ca2+ influx is compared with the control (capsaicin 1 0 μΜ). This provides the result in % activation based on the Ca2+ signal after the addition of 1 0 μΜ of capsaicin (CP). After 5 minutes' incubation, 100 nM of capsaicin are applied and the Ca2+ influx is also determined.
Desensitising agonists and antagonists lead to suppression of the Ca2+ influx. The % inhibition is calculated compared to the maximum achievable inhibition with 1 0 μΜ of capsazepine. Triple analyses (n=3) are carried out and repeated in at least 3 independent experiments (N=4).
Starting from the percentage displacement caused by different concentrations of the compounds to be tested of general formula I, IC5o inhibitory concentrations which cause a 50- % displacement of capsaicin were calculated. K values for the test substances were obtained by conversion by means of the Cheng-Prusoff equation (Cheng, Prusoff; Biochem. Pharmacol. 22, 3099-3108, 1973).
II. Functional testing carried out on the vanilloid receptor 1 (VRI/TRPV1 receptor)
The agonistic or antagonistic effect of the substances to be tested on the vanilloid receptor 1 (VR1 ) can also be determined using the following assay. In this assay, the influx of Ca2+ through the channel is quantified with the aid of a Ca2+-sensitive dye (type Fluo-4, Molecular Probes Europe BV, Leiden, the Netherlands) in a fluorescent imaging plate reader (FLIPR, Molecular Devices, Sunnyvale, USA).
Method:
Chinese hamster ovary cells (CHO K1 cells, European Collection of Cell Cultures (ECACC) United Kingdom) are stably transfected with the VR1 gene. For functional testing, these cells are plated out on poly-D-lysine-coated black 96-well plates having a clear base (BD Biosciences, Heidelberg, Germany) at a density of 25,000 cells/well. The cells are incubated overnight at 37 °C and 5 % C02 in a culture medium (Ham's F12 nutrient mixture, 1 0 % by volume of FCS (foetal calf serum), 1 8 μg mL of L-proline). The next day the cells are incubated with Fluo-4 (Fluo-4 2 μΜ, 0.01 % by volume of Pluronic F1 27, Molecular Probes in HBSS (Hank's buffered saline solution), Gibco Invitrogen GmbH, Karlsruhe, Germany) for 30 minutes at 37 <C. Subsequently, the plates are washed three times with HBSS buffer and after further incubation for 15 minutes at RT used for Ca2+ measurement in a FLIPR assay. The Ca2+-dependent fluorescence is measured before and after the addition of the substances to be tested ( ex wavelength = 488 nm, e m = 540 nm). Quantification is carried out by measuring the highest fluorescence intensity (FC, fluorescence counts) over time. FLIPR assay:
The FLIPR protocol consists of 2 substance additions. First the compounds to be tested (10 μΜ) are pipetted onto the cells and the Ca2+ influx is compared with the control (capsaicin 10 μΜ) (% activation based on the Ca2+ signal after the addition of 10 μΜ of capsaicin). After 5 minutes' incubation, 100 nM of capsaicin are applied and the Ca2+ influx is also determined.
