PO Jn'irn-!, ].?.???.■ NO DRAWINGS f t NEW ZEALAND PATENTS ACT, 1953 No.: Date: COMPLETE SPECIFICATION CYCLOPENTANE AND CYCLOPENTENE DERIVATIVES We, SmithKline Beecham Corporation a Corporation organized under the laws of the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania, one of the United States of America, of One Franklin Plaza, Philadelphia, Pennsylvania 19101, United States of America hereby declare the invention for which we pray that a patent may be granted to us, and the method by which it is to be performed, to be particularly described in and by the following statement:- (followed by page la) P50036 2. 1 ' •»"« « i i_ COMPOUNDS Field of Invention The present invention relates to novel cyclopentane and cyclopentene 5 derivatives, pharmaceutical compositions containing these compounds and their use in treating allergic and inflammatory diseases, and for inhibiting the production of Tumor Necrosis Factor (TNF).
Background of the Invention 10 Bronchial asthma is a complex, multifactorial disease characterized by reversible narrowing of the airway and hyperreactivity of the respiratory tract to external stimuli.
It is now understood that the symptoms of chronic asthma are the manifestations of three distinct processes: 1) an early response to antigen, 2) a delayed 15 or late response to antigen, and 3) chronic inflammation and airway hyperreactivity. Cockcroft, Ann. Allergy 55:857-862,1985; Larsen, Hosp. Practice 22:113-127,1987.
The agents currently available (b-adrenoceptor agonists, steroids, methylxanthines, disodium cromoglycate) are inadequate to control the disease; none of them modify all three phases of asthma and nearly all are saddled with limiting side 2 0 effects. Most importantly, none of the agents, with the possible exception of steroids, alter the course of progression of chronic asthma.
Identification of novel therapeutic agents for asthma is made difficult by the fact that multiple mediators are responsible for the development of disease. Thus, it seems unlikely that eliminating the effects of a single mediator will have a substantial 2 5 effect on all three components of chronic asthma. An alternative to the "mediator approach" is to regulate the activity of the cells responsible for the pathophysiology of the disease.
One such way is by elevating levels of cAMP (adenosine cyclic 3',5'-monophosphate). Cyclic AMP has been shown to be a second messenger mediating the 3 0 biologic responses to a wide range of hormones, neurotransmitters and drugs (Robison Cyclic AMP Academic Press, New York, pgs. 17-47,1971; Krebs Endocrinology Proceedings of the 4th International Congress Excerpta Medica. pgs. 17-29,1973). When the appropriate agonist binds to specific cell sulface receptors, adenylate cyclase is activated which converts Mg2+-ATP to cAMP at an accelerated 3 5 rate. The actions of cAMP are terminated by cyclic nucleotide phosphodiesterases (PDEs), which hydrolyze the 3'-phosphodiester bond to form 5'-AMP, an inactive metabolite. lcL. 2 4 'i few I it vj ..
P50036 «- r -fc- vj Cyclic AMP modulates the activity of most, if not all, of the cells that contribute to the pathophysiology of extrinsic (allergic) asthma. As such, an elevation of cAMP would produce beneficial effects including: 1) airway sooth muscle relaxation, 2) inhibition of mast cell mediator release, 3) suppression of neutrophil 5 degranulation, 4) inhibition of basophil degranulation, and 5) inhibition of monocyte and macrophage activation. Hence, compounds that activate adenylate cyclase or inhibit PDE should be effective in suppressing the inappropriate activation of airway smooth muscle and a wide variety of inflammatory cells. The principal cellular mechanism for the inactivation of cAMP is hydrolysis of the 3'-phosphodiester bond by 10 one or more of a family of isozymes referred to as cyclic nucleotide phosphodiesterases (PDEs).
It has now been shown that a distinct cyclic nucleotide phosphodiesterase (PDE) isozyme, PDE IV, is responsible for cyclic AMP breakdown in airway smooth muscle and inflammatory cells. Torphy, "Phosphodiesterase Isozymes: Potential Targets for Novel Anti- asthmatic Agents" in New Drugs for Asthma. Barnes, ed. IBC Technical Services Ltd. (1989).
Research indicates that inhibition of this enzyme not only produces airway smooth muscle relaxation, but also suppresses degranulation of mast cells, basophils and neutrophils along with inhibiting the activation of monocytes and neutrophils. Moreover, the beneficial effects of 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. Thus 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 significant therapeutic advantages over agents currently on the market. 2 5 The compounds of this invention also inhibit production of Tumor Necrosis Factor (TNF), a serum glycoprotein. Excessive or unregulated TNF production is implicated in mediating or exacerbating a number of diseases including rheumatoid arthritis, rheumatoid spondylitis, osteoarthritis, gouty arthritis and other arthritic conditions; sepsis, septic shock, endotoxic shock, gram negative sepsis, toxic shock 3 0 syndrome, adult respiratory distress syndrome, cerebral malaria, chronic pulmonary inflammatory disease, silicosis, pulmonary sacroidosis, 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 acquired immune deficiency syndrome (AIDS), AIDS, ARC (AIDS 35 related complex), keloid formation, scar tissue formation, Crohn's disease, ulcerative colitis, or pyresis.
TNF has been implicated in various roles with the human acquired immune deficiency syndrome (AIDS). AIDS results from the infection of T lymphocytes with 2 P50036 Human Immunodeficiency Virus (HIV). It has now been discovered that monokines, specifically TNF, are implicated in the infection of T lymphocytes with HIV by playing a role in maintaining T lymphocyte activation. Furthermore, once an activated T lymphocytes is infected with HIV, the T lymphocyte must continue to be maintained 5 in an activated state to permit HIV gene expression and/or HIV replication. It has also been discovered that monokines, specifically TNF, are implicated in activated T cell-mediated HIV protein expression and/or virus replication by playing a role in maintaining T lymphocyte activation. Therefore, interference with monokine activity such as by ihibition of monokine production, notably TNF, in an HIV-infected 10 individual aids in limiting the maintenance of T cell activation, thereby reducing the progression of HIV infectivity to previously uninfected cells which results in a slowing or elimination of the progression of immune dysfunction caused by HIV infection. Monocytes, macrophages, and related cells, such as kupffer and glial cells, have also been implicated in maintenance of the HIV infection. These cells, like T 15 cells, are targets for viral replication and the level of viral replication is dependent upon the activation state of the cells. [See Rosenberg et al., The Immunopatho-genesis of HIV Infection, Advances in Immunology. Vol. 57, (1989)]. Monokines, such as TNF, have been shown to activate HIV replication in monocytes and/or macrophages [See Poli, et al., Proc. Natl. Acad. Sci.. 87:782-784 (1990)], therefore, 2 0 inhibition of monokine production or activity aids in limiting HIV progression as stated above for T cells.
It has now been discovered that monokines are implicated in certain disease-associated problems such as cachexia and muscle degeneration. Therefore, interference with monokine activity, such as by inhibition of TNF production, in an HIV-infected 2 5 individual aids in enhancing the quality of life of HIV-infected patients by reducing the severity of monokine-mediated disease associated problems such as cachexia and muscle degeneration.
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 30 natural killer cells. [See Riipi et al.. Infection and Immunity, Vol. 58, No. 9, p. 2750-54 (1990); and Jafari et al.. Journal of Infectious Diseases, Vol. 164, p. 389-95 (1991). See also Wasan & aL, Antimicrobial Agents and Chemotherapy, Vol. 35, No. 10, p. 2046-48 (1991) and Luke et al.. Journal of Infectious Diseases, Vol. 162, p. 211-214 (1990)].
The discoveiy of a class of compounds which inhibit the production of TNF will provide a therapeutic approach for the diseases in which excessive, or unregulated TNF production is implicated. 3 Z A A 605 Summary of the Invention The compounds of this invention are illustrated by the Formula (I) (.) wherein: Rl is Ci_j2 alkyl unsubstituted or substituted by 1 or more halogens; C3.6 cyclic alkyl unsubstituted or substituted by 1 to 3 methyl groups or one ethyl group; C4.6 cycloalkyl containing one or two unsaturated bonds; Ch^-cyc 1 opropy1; C7-11 polycycloalkyl; -<CR j 4R14)nC(0)-0-(CR 14R14)m-R 10'. -(CR14R14)nC(0)-0-(CR 14R \ 4)r-R 1 f,' -(CR14Ri4)xOH; -(CRi4Ri4)sO(CR14Ri4)m-Rio*, -(CRi4Ri4)sO(CR14Ri4)rRi 1; -(CR 14Ri4)n-(C(0)NRi4)-(CRi4Ri4)m-R io> -(CR 14R14)n-(C(0)NR 14)-(CR14Ri4)rRn; -(CRi4Ri4)y-Rn or-(CRi4Ri4)z-Rio; X2isOorNRi4; X3 is hydrogen or X; X is YR2, halogen, nitro, NRj4Ri4 or formamide; Y is 0 or S(0)m ; R2is-CH3 or-CH2CH3, each of which may be unsubstituted or substituted by 1 to 5 fluorines; A is: R,9 «3- 'B /(CRuRi4)q"R4 R3 I I R19 R19 R3 ' ' (CR14Rl4)q_R17 (a) (b) , (c) 'R18 r371 1 R3^—^ (d) or (e) /' /'.

Inhibitory Effect of Compounds of Formula la on PDE IV I. Isolation of PDE Isozymes Phosphodiesterase inhibitory activity and selectivity of compounds is determined using 35 a battery of five distinct PDE isozymes. The characteristics of these PDEs appear in Table 1. The tissues used as sources of the different isozymes are as follows: 1) PDE la, canine trachealis; 2) PDE lb, porcine aorta; 3) PDE Ic, guinea-pig heart; 4) PDE IE, guinea-pig heart; and 5) PDE IV, human monocyte. PDEs la, lb, Ic and III are partially P50036 purified using standard chromatographic techniques (Torphy and Cieslinski, Mol. Pharmacol. 37:206-214, 1990). PDE IV is purified to kinetic homogeneity by the sequential use of anion-exchange followed by heparin-Sepharose chromatography (White et al., FASEB J. 4:A1987,1990).

II. PDE Assay Phosphodiesterase activity is assayed as described in Torphy and Cieslinski, Mol. Pharmacol. 21' 2206-214, 1990. The reaction is conducted in 0.1 ml of standard mixture containing (final concentrations): 50 mM Tris-HCl buffer (pH 7.5), 5 mM MgCL2,50 mM [14C]-5'AMP (approximately 400 dpm/nmole) as a carrier and for determining recovery of product, 1 mM [3H]-cAMP (approximately 2000 dpm/pmole), 2 0 enzyme, and vehicle or various concentrations of test compounds. The reaction is initiated with either enzyme or substrate and conducted at 30°C. The reaction is terminated by placing reaction vessels in a 100°C heating block for 1 min. To separate cyclic nucleotide substrates from 5'-nucleotide products, 0.5 ml of 0.1 M Hepes buffer (pH 8.5) containing 0.1 M NaCl is first added to each sample. The entire sample is then 25 applied to a polyacrylamide-boronate gel column (0.5 g of Biorad Affi-gel® 601 in a 0.7 x 10 cm Biorad® econo-column) which has been equilibrated with the 0.1 M Hepes/0.1 M NaCl buffer (pH 8.5). The unreacted cyclic nucleotides are eluted with 8 ml of equilibration buffer.
The 5'-monophosphate products are eluted with 10 ml of 0.25 M acetic acid into 30 a scintillation vial containing 10 ml of scintillation cocktail. 16 P50036 Recovery of [3H]5'-AMP, as determined with the f 14C]5'-AMP carrier, is 80-90%. All assays are conducted in the linear range of the reaction where less than 20% of the initial substrate is hydrolyzed. Cyclic GMP hydrolysis is assayed using a protocol identical to the one described above, with [3H]cGMP as the substrate. [3H]cGMP is 5 used as the substrate for PDEs la, lb and Ic. [3H]cAMP is used as the substrate for PDEs III and IV. IC50s for compounds of this invention range from 0.05 mM to 40 mM.
III. cAMP Accumulation in U-937 Cells The ability of selected PDE IV inhibitors to increase cAMP accumulation in 10 intact tissues is assessed using U-937 cells, a human monocyte cell line that has been shown to contain a large amount of PDE IV. Approximately 2 x 106 cells in a volume of 100 ml are incubated at 37°C in a Krebs-Ringer buffer (pH 7.5) containing (mM); CaCl2,1; Hepes, 5; glucose, 1.1; Nacl, 118; KC1,4.6; NaHCCty 24.9; KH2PO4' 1; BSA, 0.2 mg/ml. Cells are treated with various concentrations of test compounds (PDE 15 inhibitors) for 1 min before the addition of a threshold concentration of PGE2 (0.1 mM). Four minutes after the addition of PGE2, the reaction is stopped with 100 ml of 17.5% HCIO4 and then neutralized with 150 ml of 1 M K^CC^- 550 ml of sodium acetate buffer (pH 6.8) is then added to the neutralized solution. Permeabilized cells and cell debris are removed from the soluble fraction via centrifugation (1800 x g for 5 2 0 min). The supernatant is then assayed for cAMP via radioimmunoassay using commercially available kits (Dupont/New England Nuclear, Cambridge, MA). The effects of test compounds are compared to those of racemic rolipram, which is used as a standard in all experiments. Data are expressed as both an EC50 for increases in cAMP accumulation as a percentage of the maximum response to rolipram produced by 10 mM 25 of the test compounds. EC50S for compounds of this invention range from 0.3 mM to >10 mM.
Inhibitory Effect of Compounds of Formula (I) on in vitro TNF Production by Human Monocytes 30 Section I: Assay set-up The effects of compounds of Formula (1) on the in vitro production of TNF by human monocytes was examined using the following protocol.
Human peripheral blood monocytes were isolated and purified from either blood bank buffy coats or platletpheresis residues, according to the procedure of Colotta, R. et 35 al., J. Iolmmunol., 132(2):936 (1984). The monocytes were plated at a density of 1 x 106 cells/ml medium/well in 24-well multi-dishes. The cells were allowed to adhere for 1 hour after which time the supernatant was aspirated and 1 ml fresh medium (RPMI-1640 Whitaker Biomedical Products, Whitaker, CA) containing 1% fetal calf serum and 17 P50036 penicillin and streptomycin at 10 units/ml was added. The cells were incubated for 45 minutes in the presence or absence of test compounds at 1 nM-10 um dose ranges (compounds were solubilized in Dimethylsulfoxide/Ethanol such that the final solvent concentration in the culture medium was 0.5% Dimethyl sulfoxide/0.5% Ethanol).
Bacterial lipopolysaccharide (E. coli 055:B5[LPS] from Sigma Chemicals Co.) was then added at 100 ng/ml in 10 ml Phosphate Buffered Saline (PBS) and cultures incubated for 16-18 hours at 37°C in a 5% C02 incubator. At the end of the incubation period, culture supernatants were removed from the cells, centrifuged at 3000 revolutions per minute (rpm) to remove cell debris and .05 ml of the supernatant assayed for the TNF 10 activity using the radioimmunoassay described below.
Section II: Radioimmunoassay procedure for TNF activity The assay buffer consisted of 0.01 M NaPCty 0,15M NaCl, 0.025M EDTA and 0.1% sodium azide at pH 7.4. Human recombinant TNF (rhTNF) obtained using the procedure of Chen et al., Nature. 330:581-583 (1987) was iodinated by a modified 15 Chloramine-T method described in Section III below. To samples (50 ml culture supernatants) or rhTNF standards, a 1/9000 dilution of polyclonal rabbit anti-rhTNF (Genzyme, Boston, MA) and 8000 cpm of 125I-TNF was added in a final volume of 400 ml buffer and incubated overnight (18 hours) at 4°C. Normal rabbit serum and goat anti-rabbit IgG (Calbiochem) were titered against each other for maximum precipitation 20 of the anti-rhTNF. The appropriate dilutions of carrier normal rabbit serum (1/200), goat anti-rabbit IgG (1/4) and 25 Units heparin (Calbiochem) were allowed to precipitate about 200 pi of this complex was added per assay tube and incubated overnight at 4°C. Tubes were centrifuged for 30 minutes at 2000 rpm, supernatants were carefully aspirated, and radioactivity associated with the pellets measured in a 2 5 Beckman Gamma 5500 counter. The logit-log linear transformation curve was used for the calculations. The concentrations of TNF in the samples were read off a standard curve of rhTNF that was linear in the 157 to 20,000 pg/ml range.
Section III: Radioiodination of rhTNF Iodination of rhTNF was performed using a modified chloramine-T method of 30 Frolik et al.. J. Biol. Chem.. 259:10995-11000 (1984). Briefly, 5 mg of rhTNF in 5 ml of 20 mM Tris pH 7.5, was diluted with 15 ml of 0.5M KP04 and 10 ml of carrier free 125I(100mCi/ml; ICN). To initiate the reaction, a 5 ml aliquot of a 200 mg/ml (aqueous) chloramine-T solution is added. After 2 minutes at room temperature, an additional 5 ml aliquot was added followed 1.5 minutes later by a final 5 ml addition of 35 chloramine-T. The reaction was stopped 1 minute later by sequential addition of 20 ml of 50 mM Sodium Metabisulfite, 100 ml of 120 mM Potassium Iodide and 200 ml of 1.2 mg/ml Urea. The contents were mixed and the reaction mixture was passed over a pre-packed Sephadex G-25 column (PD 10 Pharmacia), equilibrated and eluted with 18 P50036 2 4 <i u Phosphate Buffered Saline pH 7.4 containing 0.25% gelatin. The peak radioactivity containing fractions were pooled and stored at -20°C. Biological activity of iodinated TNF was measured by the L929 cytotoxicity assay of Neale, M.L. et al., Eur. J. Can. Clin. Oncol.. 25(1):133-137 (1989).
Section IV: Measurement of TNF-ELISA Levels of TNF were also measured using a modification of the basic sandwich ELISA assay method described in Winston et al., Current Protocols in Molecular Biology, Page 11.2.1, Ausubel et al., Ed. (1987) John Wiley and Sons, New York, USA. The ELISA employed a murine monoclonal anti-human TNF antibody, described 10 below, as the capture antibody and a polyclonal rabbit anti-human TNF, described below, as the second antibody. For detection, a peroxidase-conjugated goat anti-rabbit antibody (Boehringer Mannheim, Indianapolis, Indiana, USA, Catalog #650222) was added followed by a substrate for peroxidase (1 mg/ml orthophenylenediamine with 0.1% urea peroxide). TNF levels in samples were calculated from a standard curve 15 generated with recombinant human TNF produced in E. coli (obtained from SmithKline Beecham Pharmaceuticals, King of Prussia, PA, USA).
Section V: Production of anti-human TNF antibodies Monoclonal antibodies to human TNF were prepared from spleens of BALB/c mice immunized with recombinant human TNF using a modification of the method of 2 0 Kohler and Millstein, Nature 2^:495 (1975), the entire disclosure of which is hereby incorporated by reference. Polyclonal rabbit anti-human TNF antibodies were prepared by repeated immunization of New Zealand White (NZW) rabbits with recombinant human TNF emulsified in complete Freund's adjuvant (DIFCO, IL., USA).
Endotoxin Shock in D-gal-Sensitized Mice 25 The protocol used to test the compound of the method of the subject invention was essentially as has been described in Galanos et al., Proc. Nat'l. Acad. Sci. USA. 76:5939-43 (1979) whose disclosure is herein incorporated by reference. D-gal f(D(+)Galactosidase) sensitizes various strains of mice to the lethal effects of endotoxin. The administration of D-gal (300-500 mg/kg) intravenously (i.v.) sensitizes the mice to 3 0 doses of lipopolysaccharide (LPS) as low as 0.1 g. Male C5BL/6 mice, obtained from Charles River Laboratories (Stone Ridge, New York, USA) of 6-12 weeks of age were injected i.v. with 0.1 g of LPS from Salmonella tvphosa *Difco Laboratories, Detroit, Michigan, USA) admixed with D(+)gal (Sigma; 500 mg/kg) in 0.20-0.25 ml pyrogen-free saline. Compounds to be tested were administered at various times prior to or 35 following the i.v. injection of LPS/D-gal. In this model, the control animals usually die 5-6 hours following the injection of LPS, although on occasion deaths were seen between 24 and 48 hours.
Measurement of TNF Activity 19 P50036 / tin*' Plasma levels of TNF were measured using a modification of the basic sandwich ELISA method described in Winston et al., Current Protocols in Molecular Biology. Pg. 11.2.1, Ausubel et al., Ed. (1987) John Wiley and Sons, New York, USA. The ELISA employed a hampster monoclonal anti-mouse TNF (Genzyme, Boston, MA, USA) as 5 the detecting antibody. TNF levels in mouse samples were calculated from a standard curve generated with recombinant murine TNF (Genzyme, Boston, MA, USA). TNF levels determined by ELISA correlated with levels detected by the L929 bioassay of Ruff et al., J. Immunol. 125:1671-1677 (1980), with 1 Unit of activity in the bioassay corresponding to 70 picograms (pg) of TNF in the ELISA. The ELISA detected levels 10 of TNF down to 25 pg/ml.
