Definitions

  • the present invention relates to sulfonylguanidine compounds, processes for their production, pharmaceutical compositions containing these compounds, and the use of sulfonylguanidines for the production of medicaments and for treating pain and other medical conditions.
  • the cyclic GABA analogue gabapentin is a clinically proven antiepileptic. Gabapentin additionally exhibits further interesting, medically relevant properties, in particular as an analgesic. New classes of structures that have an affinity for the gabapentin binding site are therefore of interest. In connection with the aforementioned medical indications there is a further need of substances that are similar in their properties to gabapentin, for example as regards analgesic effect.
  • Conventional opioids such as morphine are highly effective in treating severe to extremely severe pain. Their use is however limited by the known side effects such as for example respiratory depression, vomiting, sedation, constipation and development of tolerance. Also, they are less effective in treating neuropathic or incidental pain afflicting in particular tumor patients.
  • An object of the invention was accordingly to provide new methods of treating pain and other medical conditions.
  • Another object of the invention was to provide new compounds that have an affinity for the gabapentin binding site and/or corresponding physiological activities, for example with regard to analgesia, but also other GBP indications.

Description

    CROSS REFERENCE TO RELATED APPLICATIONS
  • This application is a continuation of international patent application no. PCT/EP01/11245, filed Oct. 1, 2001, designating the United States of America, and published in German as WO 02/30881, the entire disclosure of which is incorporated herein by reference. Priority is claimed based on Federal Republic of Germany patent application nos. DE 100 48 716.5 and DE 101 12 068.0, filed Sep. 30, 2000 and Mar. 12, 2001, respectively.[0001]
    • BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION
  • The present invention relates to sulfonylguanidine compounds, processes for their production, pharmaceutical compositions containing these compounds, and the use of sulfonylguanidines for the production of medicaments and for treating pain and other medical conditions. [0002]
  • The cyclic GABA analogue gabapentin is a clinically proven antiepileptic. Gabapentin additionally exhibits further interesting, medically relevant properties, in particular as an analgesic. New classes of structures that have an affinity for the gabapentin binding site are therefore of interest. In connection with the aforementioned medical indications there is a further need of substances that are similar in their properties to gabapentin, for example as regards analgesic effect. [0003]
  • The treatment of chronic and non-chronic pain conditions is very important in medicine. There is a wide need for highly effective pain treatments. The urgent need for a patient-oriented and targeted treatment of chronic and non-chronic pain conditions, which is understood to be the successful and satisfactory treatment of pain on the part of the patient, is documented in the large number of scientific studies that have recently appeared in the field of applied analgesia and in basic research relating to nociception. [0004]
  • Conventional opioids such as morphine are highly effective in treating severe to extremely severe pain. Their use is however limited by the known side effects such as for example respiratory depression, vomiting, sedation, constipation and development of tolerance. Also, they are less effective in treating neuropathic or incidental pain afflicting in particular tumor patients. [0005]
    • SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION
  • An object of the invention was accordingly to provide new methods of treating pain and other medical conditions. [0006]
  • Another object of the invention was to provide new compounds that have an affinity for the gabapentin binding site and/or corresponding physiological activities, for example with regard to analgesia, but also other GBP indications. [0007]
  • The present invention accordingly provides for the use of a sulfonylguanidine according to the general tautomeric formulas I and Ia, [0008]

  • The term salt is understood to mean any form of the active constituent according to the invention in which this adopts an ionic form or is charged and is coupled to a counterion (a cation or anion), and is present in solution. The term is also understood to include complexes of the active constituent with other molecules and ions, in particular complexes that are complexed via ionic interactions. In particular the term is understood to mean physiologically compatible salts with cations or bases and physiologically compatible salts with anions or acids. [0041]
  • The term physiologically compatible salts with cations or bases is understood within the context of the present invention to mean salts of at least one of the compounds according to the invention—generally of a (deprotonated) acid—as an anion with at least one, preferably inorganic cation, that are physiological compatible, especially when used in humans and/or mammals. Particularly preferred are the salts of alkali and alkaline earth metals, but also with NH[0042] 4 +, and in particular (mono) or (di)sodium, (mono) or (di)potassium, magnesium or calcium salts.
  • The term physiologically compatible salt with anions or acids is understood within the context of the present invention to mean salts of at least one of the compounds according to the invention—generally protonated, for example on the nitrogen atom—as a cation with at least one anion, that are physiologically compatible, especially when used in humans and/or mammals. In the context of the present invention the term is particularly understood to denote the salt formed with a physiologically compatible acid, namely salts of the respective active constituent with inorganic or organic acids, that are physiologically compatible, especially when used in humans and/or mammals. Examples of physiologically compatible salts of specific acids are salts of: hydrochloric acid, hydrobromic acid, sulfuric acid, methanesulfonic acid, formic acid, acetic acid, oxalic acid, succinic acid, tartaric acid, mandelic acid, fumaric acid, lactic acid, citric acid, glutamic acid, 1,1-dioxo-1,2-dihydro 16-benzo[d]isothiazol-3-one (saccharinic acid), monomethylsebacic acid, 5-oxoproline, hexane-1-sulfonic acid, nicotinic acid, 2-, 3- or 4-aminobenzoic acid, 2,4,6-trimethylbenzoic acid, α-lipoic acid, acetylglycine, acetylsalicylic acid, hippuric acid and/or aspartic acid. The hydrochloride salt is particularly preferred. [0043]
  • All the substances listed hereinbefore and specified for use displace gabapentin from its binding site, which has also not yet been experimentally determined. This implies however that the substances according to the invention bind at the same binding site or receptor and act physiologically via the same receptor, presumably with the same activity profile as gabapentin. This assumption that the same activity is also exerted at the same binding site is demonstrated by the analgesic effect. [0044]
  • Thus, the compounds according to the invention not only displace gabapentin from its binding site but—like gabapentin—also have a marked analgesic effect. Accordingly, the invention provides for the use of the aforementioned and defined sulfonylguanidines in the previously mentioned medical indications in which gabapentin is active, i.e. in particular in the treatment of pain, epilepsy or migraine, but specifically also in neuropathic pain including hyperalgesia and allodynia, and other conditions for which the use of gabapentin is indicated. [0045]
  • Gabapentin is a known antiepileptic having an anticonvulsive action. In addition to this gabapentin is also used in various other medical conditions, and inter alia is prescribed by physicians for the treatment of migraine and bipolar disorders as well as hot flashes (e.g. in the post menopause) (M. Schrope, Modern Drug Discovery, September 2000, p. 11). Other medical conditions in which gabapentin exhibits a therapeutic potential have been identified in human studies and in clinical practice (J. S. Bryans, D. J. Wustrow; “3-Substituted GABA Analogs with Central Nervous System Activity: A Review” in Med. Res. Rev. (1999), pp. 149-177). The action of gabapentin is listed in detail in this review article. For example, gabapentin is effective in the treatment of chronic pain and behavioral disturbances. In particular the following properties of gabapentin are listed: anticonvulsive and antiepileptic actions, the use to treat chronic, neuropathic pain, in particular thermal hyperalgesia, mechanical allodynia, and cold-induced allodynia. In addition gabapentin is effective against neuropathy triggered by nerve damage, and in particular is also successful in treating neuropathic pain as well as inflammatory and post-operative pain. Gabapentin is also useful as an antipsychotic agent, in particular as an anxiolytic. Further proven indications for use include: amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS), reflex sympathetic dystrophy (RSD), spastic palsy, restless leg syndrome, treatment of symptoms and pain caused by multiple sclerosis, acquired nystagmus, treatment of the symptoms of Parkinson's disease, painful diabetic neuropathy and psychiatric disorders, for example bipolar disorders, mood fluctuations, manic behavior. Gabapentin has also been successfully used to treat erythromelalgic pain, post-poliomyelitic pain, trigeminal neuralgia and post-herpetic neuralgia (Bryans and Wustrow (1999), etc.). The general efficacy of gabapentin in neurodegenerative conditions is generally known and is also demonstrated by the examples given in the aforementioned review article. Such neurodegenerative conditions include for example Alzheimer's disease, Huntington's disease, Parkinson's disease and epilepsy. The effectiveness of gabapentin in gastrointestinal disorders is also known. [0046]

    • Example 0 Basic Process 1
  • A small round-bottomed threaded glass tube (diameter 16 mm, length 125 mm) was provided manually with a stirrer and sealed on the Capper station (see block diagram) with a screw cap with septum. The tube was placed by the [0388] robot 1 in the stirrer block kept at 110° C. The robot 2 pipetted in the following reagents in succession:
  • 1.) 0.5 ml of a solution containing methanesulfonic acid and pyrazolesulfonic acid amide, in each case 0.2 M, in acetonitrile [0389]
  • 2.) 0.5 ml of a 1.0 M amine solution in acetonitrile. [0390]
  • The reaction mixture was stirred for 45 hours at 110° C. in one of the stirrer blocks. The reaction solution was then filtered out at the filtration station. The test tube was then rinsed twice, once with 1.5 ml of dichloromethane and once with 1.5 ml of water. [0391]
  • The rack with the samples was placed manually on the working-up station. The reaction mixture was shaken for 30 minutes. The reaction mixture was briefly centrifuged in a centrifuge to form the phase boundary. The phase boundary was optically detected and the organic phase was pipetted off. In the next stage a further 1.5 ml of dichloromethane was added to the aqueous phase, which was shaken, centrifuged, and the organic phase was pipetted off. The combined organic phases were dried over 2.4 g of MgSO[0392] 4 (granulated). The solvent was removed in a vacuum centrifuge. Each sample was analysed by ESI-MS and/or NMR.
  • The automated synthesis procedure ensures the identical treatment of all samples as well as balanced constant reaction conditions. [0393]

  • Pharmacological Investigations [0549]
    • Example 64 Binding Assay
  • Gabapentin was used in a binding assay in order to check the binding and affinities of the selected compounds. The affinity of the compounds according to the invention was measured via the displacement of gabapentin from its binding site. If the selected compounds replace gabapentin from its binding site, then it may be expected that they will exhibit pharmacological properties comparable to those of gabapentin, for example as an agent to control pain or epilepsy. The compounds according to the invention exhibit a good inhibition/displacement of gabapentin in this assay. Furthermore, the investigated compounds exhibited in this biochemical assay an affinity for the hitherto unknown gabapentin binding site. [0550]

    • Example 65 In Vivo Experiments According to Chung
  • In male Sprague-Dawley rats spinal nerve ligatures were applied according to Kim and Chung (1992) to the left L5/L6 spinal nerves. At the same time spinal catheters were implanted according to Pogatzki et al.[0551] 6 (2000). 4 to 6 days after the operation the tactile threshold baseline (withdrawal thresholds) was measured on the ipsilateral and contra lateral rear paw by an electronic vonFrey anaesthesiometer (IITC Life Science, USA). The correct position of the spinal catheters was confirmed by administering lidocaine (10 μ1,2%), which resulted in a brief paralysis of the bilateral rear member. After the test and baseline measurement, gabapentin and substances according to the invention were administered. The tactile withdrawal thresholds were measured 30 minutes after administration. The results are expressed as ED50 and % maximal possible effect (% MPE; % of the maximal possible effect) on the ipsilateral side, in which the baseline is taken as 0% and the withdrawal threshold of a control group is taken as 100% MPE.
  • The substance according to Example 1 showed a 50% effect at a dose of 25 mg/kg, roughly corresponding to the ED[0552] 50, and gabapentin exhibited an ED50 of 92.6 mg/kg. Both substances acted for at least 30 hours. Accordingly, the substance according to Example 1 is superior to gabapentin in this model by a factor of 4.
  • Also in a further investigation, the substances according to Example 1 and according to Example 21 show an effect in the Chung test. Both substances act for at least 30 hours and are superior in their effect to gabapentin (ED[0553] 50=92.6 mg/kg).

    • Example 66 Formalin Test on Mice
  • The investigations to determine the antinociceptive action of the compounds according to the invention were carried out by the formalin test on male albino mice (NMRI, 25-35 g, Iffa Credo, Belgium). [0557]
  • In the formalin test the first (early) phase (0-15 minutes after the formalin injection) and the second (late) phase (15-60 minutes after the formalin injection) differ (D. Dubuisson et al., Pain, Vol. 4, pp. 161-174 (1977)). The early phase, being a direct reaction to the formalin injection, constitutes a model for acute pain, whereas the late phase is regarded as a model for persistent (chronic) pain (T. J. Coderre et al., Pain, Vol. 52, pp. 259-285 (1993)). [0558]
  • The compounds according to the invention were investigated in the second phase of the formalin test in order to obtain information on the effects of substances in chronic/inflammatory pain. By means of a single subcutaneous formalin injection (20 μ1,1% aqueous solution) into the dorsal side of the right-hand rear paw, a nociceptive reaction was induced in unconstrained experimental animals, manifested in a noticeable licking and biting of the affected paw. [0559]
  • The nociceptive behavior for the test period in the second (late) phase of the formalin test was continuously monitored by observing the animals. The pain reaction was quantified by totalling the time in seconds during which the animals continued to lick and bite the affected paw during the investigation period. After injecting substances that have an antinociceptive effect in the formalin test, the aforedescribed behavior pattern of the animals is reduced or possibly even cancelled. [0560]
  • Corresponding to the substance tests, in which the animals had been injected with the test substance before formalin, the control animals were injected with a vehicle, i.e. solvent (e.g. 0.9% NaCl solution) before the formalin injection. The behavior of the animals after administration of the substance (n=10 per substance dose) was compared with a control group (n=10). [0561]
  • Based on the quantification of the pain reaction, the effect of the substance in the formalin test was determined as the change in the control in percentage terms. The ED[0562] 50 calculations were carried out by means of regression analysis. The application time before the formalin injection (intraperitoneally: 15 minutes, intravenously: 5 minutes) was chosen depending on the type of application of the compounds according to the invention.
  • The compound of Example 21 according to the invention exhibited an inhibition of the formalin-induced nociception. The corresponding results in the formalin test on mice are shown in the following Table 2. Gabapentin has an ED[0563] 50 value of 79 mg/kg (i.v.).
