Abstract

Pyridine-2,4- and -2,5-dicarboxylic acid derivatives of the formula I <IMAGE> in which R<1>, R<2> and X have the meanings indicated, are used in particular for influencing the metabolism of collagen and collagen- like substances or the biosynthesis of C1q. [EP0278452A2]

Description

67446 - i - Compounds which inhibit proline hydroxylase and lysine hydroxylase effect very selective inhibition of collages, biosynthesis by influencing collagen-specific hydroxy- lation reactions- In fchs course of these, protein-bonded 9 5 proline or lysine is hydroseylated by the enzymes proline hydroxylase and lysine hydroxylase- If this reaction is j, suppressed by inhibitors„ a hypo-hydroxylated collagen molecule which is not capable of functioning arid can be released by the cell into the extracellular space in only 10 a small amount is formed. The hypo-hydroxylated collagen also cannot be incorporated into the collagen matrix and is very readily degraded proteolytieally. As a consequence of these effects, the total amount of extracellular ly deposited collagen is reduced, 15 It is known that inhibition of proline hydroxylase by known inhibitors, such as a„ a' -dipyridy 1, leads to an inhibition of the Cl^-biosyn thesis of macrophages (W. Muller at al., FEBS Lett. 90 (1978), 218; limxxmx-biology 155 (1978) 47) . There is thus a loss of the 20 classical route of complement activation- Inhibitors of proline hydroxylase therefore also act as immunosuppressants, for example in immunity complex diseases.
It is known that proline hydro^cylase is inhibited effectively by pyridine-2,4- and -2,5-dicarboxylic acid 25 (X» Mayama et al.# Eur- J- Biochem. 138 (1984) 239-245) . However, these compounds are active ass inhibitors in the cell culture only in very high concentrations (v\ Gunsler at al» Collagen and Rel. Research 3, 71 1983) .
DE-A 3,432,094 describes pyridine-2,4- and -2,5-dicar-3 0 boxylic acid diesters with 1-6 carbon atoms in the ester alkyl part as pharmaceuticals for inhibiting proline: hydroxy1ase and lysine hydroxylase.
Hoseirer,, these lower alkyl dies tars have the disadvantage that they are split too rapidly in the organism to give 35 the acids and do not arrive at their site of action in - 2 - the cell -in a sufficiently high concentration, and therefore are not particularly suitable for possible administration as pharmaceuticals.
Surprisingly, it has so**' been found that the mixed 5 ester/amides of pyridine-2,4- and -2,5-dicarboxylic acid and likewise the higher alkylated diesters are excellent inhibitors of collagen biosynthesis in the animal model.
The actual active compound, the pyridine-2,4- or -2,5-dicarboxylic acid, is first farmed in the cell by 10 hydrolysis of the esters or ester/amides. On the basis of their higher lipophilic!ty and the fact that, surprisingly , they are hydrolyzed only very slowly during transportation,, the asters and ester/abides can be transported into the cells. Only here is the actual active compound^ 15 pyridine-2,4- or -2,5-dicarboxylic acid, released.

The invention furthermore relates to a process for the preparation of compounds of the formula Xe, which comprises 10 a) reacting a conipotxad of the formula II C-Y ii 0 with a compound of the formula XII EE' -R1' (III) in which R1', R2' and X' have the meanings given in the ease of formula Is and Y is halogen or hydroucyl, 15 or b) reacting a compound of the form-sal®, IV Z"C~~>p a (IV) C-X'-R1' %?ith a compound of the formula V HO-R2' (T) in which R1', R2' and Xs have the meanings given in 20 the case of forssila I* and % is halogen, or ~ 9 c) reacting a compound of the formula "ST. 0 8 z-c- CVT) c-z » 0 with an alcohol HO-R2' or an alcohol of the formula VI X HO-R1' (VXD 5 in, which R1' and R2' have the aiaanings given in the case of formula I" and Z is halogen, or d) reacting an alkali metal aalt of pyridine-2,4- or -2,5-dicarboxylic acid with a halide of the formula VIII 10 R1' -Z (VIII) in which R1' has the meanings gives, in the case of formula I* and Z is halogen, and, if appropriate, converting the reaction products into their physiologically tolerated salts. 15 The preparation of compounds according to formula I and the preparation of the starting substances required for this - where they are not commercially available - are described in more detail below.
The compounds according to the invention are moat easily 20 prepared by mixing the ewo components, the pyridine derivative according to formula (XI), (IV) or (VI) and the amine or alcohol according to formula (XXX)„ (V) or (VII), in equimolar sanounts or with up to an approximately 5-fold excess of XIX, V or VIX, and 25 reacting them at temperatures between -30 to 150 °Ce preferably at 20 to 100°C» until the reaction has ended. The end of the reaction can be determined by means of thin layer chromatography (TLC control) . One variant of this process comprises carrying out the reaction in a 10 - suitable • solvent, such as diethyl ether or disiethoxyethane or tetrahydrofuran, chlorinated hydrocarbons, such as methylene chloride, chloroform or trior tatrachloroethvlene, bensssne, toluene or polar 5 solvents, such as dimethyl formamide or acetone or dimethyl sulfoxide. Mx excess of amine/alcohol according to formula (III) , (V) or (VII) , *«*hich can be up to 5 times the amounts, can also be used here. The reaction temperatures here are between room temperature and the 10 boiling point of the solvent, temperatures in the range from room temperature to 130 °C being particularly preferred.
If appropriate, the reaction can also be carried out in the presence of bases. Possible additional bases are 15 inorganic acid-trapping agents, such as carbonates or bicarbonatas, for example sodium carbonate, potassium carbonate, sodium bicarbonate or potassium bicarbonate, or organic acid-trapping agents, such as tertiary amines, such as triethylamiaa, tributvlamine or ethyl diiso-2 0 propylamine, or heterocyclic amines t. such as M-alkyl-morpholine, pyridine, eruinoline or dialkylanilines.
The reaction of the compounds according to formula (II) with alcohols according to formula (III) (X'= O) is preferably carried out with the addition of a dehydrating 25 agent, such as a dialkylcarbodiimide, the alkyl radicals containing 1 to 8 carbon atoms and it also being possible, in the case of the C3 ~ C8 - compounds „ for these to be branched or cyclic? dicyclohexylcarbodiinide is preferably used. A corresponding method is described ia 30 Houben-Weyl, Volume XV/2, pages 103-111',,, Methoden der Organischen Chemie (Methods of Organic Chemistry) , 4th edition, Georg Thieme Verlag, Stuttgart, 1974 - If appropriate, the products can be worked up, for example by attraction or by chromatography, for example 35 over silica gel. The isolated products can be recrystallizad and if appropriate reacted with a suitable - 11 - acid to give a physiologically tolerated salt. Examples of possible suitable acids ares mineral acids„ such, as hydrochloric and hydrobramic acid, as well as sulfuric, phosphoric, nitric or perchloric acid, or organic acids, 5 such as formic, acetic, propionic, succinic, glycolic, lactic, malic, tartaric f citric, Hialeic, fuiaarie, phanyl&eetic, bensoic, methanesulfonie, toluenesulfonic, oxalic, 4-aminobenzoic, naphthalene-1,5-disulfonic or ascorbic acid. 10 The starting compounds of the formula (III) , (V) and (VII), where they are not commercially available, can ba synthesized in a simple manner (for example Organikum, Organisch Chemisches Grundp r ak t i kum (Basic Practical Organic Chemistry), 15th edition, VEB Deutsehar Verlag 15 der Wissenschaften, 1976; a review of the various possibilities is to h@ found in the method register; Alcohols: page 821e Amines: page 822).
The starting compounds of the formula (II) are obtained, for ..example, by converting pyridine-2,4- or -2,5-20 diearboxylic acid into the corresponding pyridine-2,4- or -2,5-dicarboxylic acid halide (VI) , preferably the chloride (by processes which are known from the literature, for example Organikmn, Organisch Chemisches Grundpraktikum (Basic Practical Organic Chemistry), 15th 25 edition,, VEB Deutseher Verlag der Wissenschaften, 1976, page 595 efc seg.), which is then reacted with an alcohol of the formula R2' -OH (V) to give the corresponding 2,4-or 2„5-diester. Selective hydrolysis of the ester in the 2-position of the pyridine derivative (for example by a 30 copper complex, see Ph&rm,, Acta Eelv. 44'1969, page 637) or partial alkaline hydrolysis (see J. Org. Chem. 3J[ (B) 1974, page 1158) gives the pyridine-4- or -5-carboxylic acid ester-2-carboxylic acid, which is either used directly (II„ Y-OH) or can be converted into the acid 35 halide (II, Y=C1, Br or I) „ preferably the acid chloride.
The starting compounds of the formula (IV) can be - 12 - synthesized, for example, as follows; Reaction of the pyridine-2„4- or -2,5-dicarboxylic acid halide, preferably the chloride, with benzyl alcohol to give pyridine-2,4- or -2, 5-dicarboxylic acid bensyl 5 ester; subsequent selective hydrolysis of the ester in the 2-position (for example in the presence of a copper catalyst, Loc„cit,Phara, Acta Helv.), conversion of the free acid in the 2-position into the aeid halide, reaction with a compound of the formula HX" -R1' (III) to 10 give the pyridine-4- or 5-carboxylic acid benzyl ester-2~ carboxylic acid (R1') ester or ~02ui.de, hydrogenolytic splitting off of the bansyl protective group which remains (for example with H2/Ptf see Houben-Weyl Volume XV/Ic (1980), pages 381«62) and subsequent conversion of 15 the free acid in the 4- or 5-position of the pyridine ring into the acid halide (XV).
The pyridine-2,4- or -2,5-dicarboxylic acid halide according to formula VI can be obtained by known methods, for example by reaction of pyridine-2,4- or -2,5- 2 0 dicarboxylic acid with a phosphorus trihalide (see, for example„ Organikum, Organisch Chemisches Grundpraktikum (Basic Practical Organic Chemistry),, 15th edition,, VEB Deutscher Verlag dar Wissenschaften, 197S, pages 527 and 595 st seq.). 25 The reaction of alkali metal salts of the pyridine-2,4-or -2,5-dicarboxylic aeid with a halide of the formula VIII is carried out by processes which are known from the literature (sse; for example, Organikum, Organisch. Chemisches Grundpraktikum (Basic Practical Organic 30 Chemistry) „ 15th edition, VEB Deutscher Verlag der Wissenschaften, 1976, page 255 et seq.).
The compounds of the formula I and If according to the. invention have useful pharmacological properties, and in particular show an activity as inhibitors of proline 3 5 hydroxylase and lysine hydroxylase and as - 13 - fihrosupprassailts and isssvunosuppressants« The activity of the fibrogsnase can be determined by radioimmunological assay of the H~ terminal propeptide of collagen type 111 or the N- or C-terminal cross linking 5 domains of collagen type IV (7s-collagen or type IV collagen-NC^) in the serum.
For this purpose, the hydroacyproline, procollagen. Ill, peptide, 7s-collagen and type IV collagen concentrations in the liver of 10 a) untreated rats (control) b) rats to which carbon tetrachloride had been administered (CCl4 control) c) rats to which first CC1* and then a compound according to the invention had been administered 15 were measured (this test method is described by Rouiller, C„, experimental toxic injury of the liver; in The Liver, C„ Rouiller, Volume 2, pages 335-476, Mew York, Academic Press, 1964) .
The pharmacological activity of the substances according 20 to the invention has been investigated in a series of experiments (see Table 1) . A clear inhibition of proline hydroxylase and lysine hydroxylase was thereby found.
