Definitions

  • the present invention relates to a hydroxytriazane compound having a microsomal prostaglandin E2 synthase-1 (mPGES-1) inhibitory activity or a pharmaceutically acceptable salt thereof, a pharmaceutical composition containing same, pharmaceutical use thereof and the like.
  • mPGES-1 microsomal prostaglandin E2 synthase-1
  • Non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs are often used for the treatment of diseases accompanying inflammation, fever and pain, for example, rheumatism, osteoarthritis, headache and the like.
  • NSAIDs show an anti-inflammatory action, an antipyretic action and an analgesic action by preventing production of prostanoids by inhibiting cyclooxygenase (COX).
  • COX cyclooxygenase
  • COX includes two isoforms of COX-1 which is ubiquitously distributed and constitutively expressed, and COX-2 which expression is induced by various pro-inflammatory stimulations, for example, cytokines such as interleukin-1 ⁇ (IL-1 ⁇ ) and the like.
  • COX-1 and COX-2 are enzymes that convert arachidonic acid derived from cell membrane phospholipids to prostaglandin H2 (PGH2) which is a prostanoid precursor.
  • COX-1 or COX-2 suppresses all prostanoids production in the downstream thereof. This is considered to cause side effects of NSAIDs. Since NSAIDs that non-selectively inhibit COX also suppress production of PGE2 by COX-1 and PGE2 protectively acts on stomach mucosal injury, NSAIDs are considered to suppress secretion of gastric mucus and gastric mucosal blood flow, thereby increasing the risk of stomach perforations, bleeding and the like.
  • COX-2 selective inhibitors suppress production of PGI2 having a vasodilation action and a platelet aggregation inhibitory action in vascular endothelial cells, they do not suppress production of TXA2 which is a blood coagulation factor produced by platelet COX-1. Therefore, they are considered to disrupt the balance of the blood coagulation system to increase the risk of cardiovascular disorder.
  • Microsomal prostaglandin E2 synthase-1 (mPGES-1) is an enzyme that catalyzes the final step of PGE2 biosynthesis, and belongs to the membrane-associated proteins in eicosanoid and glutathione metabolism family (MAPEG family).
  • the human mPGES-1 gene was cloned in 1999, and indicated to be constitutively expressed in placenta, prostate, testis and mammary gland (non-patent document 1). In other organs, human mPGES-1 gene expression is induced by various pro-inflammatory stimulations, conjugated with COX-2.
  • inflammatory cytokine IL-1 ⁇ and Tumor Necrosis Factor- ⁇ induce mPGES-1 expression in synovial cell, osteoblast, endothelial cell, orbital fibroblast, gingival cell, chondrocyte, endothelial cell, myocardial cell and the like.
  • LPS Lipopolysaccharide
  • mPGES-1 inhibitor is considered to selectively suppress PGE2 production only in the topical site of inflammation or tissues where mPGES-1 is expressed, and does not suppress production of prostanoids (PGI2, PGD2, PGF2 ⁇ , TXA2 etc.) other than PGE2 (non-patent documents 2, 3). Therefore, mPGES-1 inhibitor is considered to be a medicament having an efficacy equivalent to that of NSAIDs but free of side effects of NSAIDs derived from a decreased production of prostanoids other than PGE2.
  • mPGES-1 knockout mice intraperitoneal PGE2 production amount and nociceptive response per unit time significantly decrease as compared to WT mice, in the evaluation of nociceptive response by LPS stimulation which is an acute inflammatory pain model. Therefore, mPGES-1 inhibitor is considered to be an analgesic for acute inflammatory pain (non-patent documents 3, 6).
  • mPGES-1 gene of Swedish females contains some single nucleotide polymorphisms that increase the onset risk and severity of rheumatism.
  • An increase in the mPGES-1 expression is immunohistologically confirmed in the synovium of rheumatism patients showing single nucleotide polymorphism (Reference SNP ID number: rs23202821) that increases severity, as compared to patients free of mutation (non-patent document 5).
  • mPGES-1 knockout mice intraarticular infiltration of inflammatory cells, articular destruction and tumentia of the four limbs are markedly suppressed in a collagen-induced arthritis model, which is an animal model of rheumatism, as compared to WT mice (non-patent document 6). Therefore, mPGES-1 inhibitor is considered to be a therapeutic drug for rheumatism.
  • mRNA expression of mPGES-1 increases in meniscus cells of osteoarthritis patients (non-patent document 7).
  • mPGES-1 inhibitor reduces nociceptive responses in osteoarthritis model using monoiodoacetic acid, as compared to WT mice (patent document 1). Therefore, mPGES-1 inhibitor is considered to be a therapeutic drug for osteoarthritis.
  • mPGES-1 knockout mice body temperature elevation due to LPS stimulation is suppressed as compared to WT mice (non-patent document 8). Therefore, mPGES-1 inhibitor is considered to be an antipyretic drug.
  • mPGES-1 inhibitor is considered to be a therapeutic drug for Alzheimer's disease.
  • EP4 gene of multiple sclerosis patients contains some single nucleotide polymorphisms that increase the onset risk (Reference SNP ID numbers: rs9292777, rs4613763, rs1044063, rs6896969).
  • macrophage present in the periventricular demyelinating lesion of multiple sclerosis patients expression of mPGES-1 protein is confirmed.
  • mPGES-1 knockout mice PGE2 production in the spinal cord of experimental autoimmune encephalomyelitis model mice, which is an animal model of multiple sclerosis, is suppressed, and progression of paralysis is suppressed, as compared to WT mice, (non-patent document 10). Therefore, mPGES-1 inhibitor is considered to be a therapeutic drug for multiple sclerosis.
  • mPGES-1 knockout mice PGE2 production in vascular endothelial cells of high-fat fed low density lipoprotein (LDL) receptor deficient mice, which is an atherosclerosis model, decreases, and atheroma formation is delayed as compared to WT mice.
  • LDL low density lipoprotein
  • mPGES-1 inhibitor is considered to be a prophylactic or therapeutic drug for arteriosclerosis.
  • Glaucoma is a disease showing a characteristic change in the optic nerve and the field of vision. Optic nerve disorder can be generally improved or suppressed by sufficiently decreasing the intraocular pressure. Glaucoma can be categorized into open angle glaucoma and closed angle glaucoma.
  • mPGES-1 gene is constitutively highly expressed in human conjunctiva (GEO accession No: GSE2513 (Gene Expression Omnibus: http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/geo/)).
  • GSE2513 Gene Expression Omnibus: http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/geo/
  • expression of mPGES-1 increases as compared to healthy individuals.
  • expression of mPGES-1 increases as compared to normal animals (GEO accession No: human GSE2378, dog GSE21879, mouse GSE3554).
  • PGE2 When PGE2 is instilled into the eyes of healthy individuals, the intraocular pressure increases, along with the expansion of blood vessels, for 2 hours after instillation (non-patent document 12).
  • PGE2 When PGE2 is administered to rabbits subconjunctivally, the intraocular pressure increases due to dilatation of ciliary body and increase in the aqueous humor production (non-patent document 13).
  • PGF2 ⁇ and PGD2 which are prostaglandins that may increase when mPGES-1 is inhibited, decrease the intraocular pressure of rabbit (non-patent document 14).
  • PGF2 ⁇ formulations increase outflow of aqueous humor and are used as therapeutic drugs for glaucoma that decrease the intraocular pressure.
  • PGI2 does not show a clear action on the intraocular pressure of rabbits. That is, the intraocular pressure is considered to decrease since decrease of PGE2 suppresses aqueous humor production by mPGES-1 inhibition, and/or since increased PGD2 and PGF2 ⁇ promote outflow of aqueous humor due to shunt.
  • mPGES-1 inhibitor is administered by instillation into the eyes of Cynomolgus monkey with normal intraocular pressure, the intraocular pressure significantly decreases (Patent Document 2).
  • VEGF vascular endothelial growth factor
  • VEGF vascular endothelial growth factor
  • PGE2 promotes expression of VEGF (non-patent document 15)
  • mPGES-1 inhibitor is considered to improve these diseases.
  • mPGES-1 increases in the skin of systemic scleroderma patients, as compared to healthy individuals. Similarly, expression of mPGES-1 increases in the skin of bleomycin induced scleroderma model mice, which is a systemic scleroderma model, as compared to the skin of normal mice. As compared to WT mice, mPGES-1 knockout mice showed a decrease in the accumulation of macrophage in the dermal lesion of bleomycin induced scleroderma model mice, and mitigation of cutaneous thickening, deposition of extracellular matrix and increase in the collagen content (non-patent document 16). Therefore, mPGES-1 inhibitor is considered to be a therapeutic drug for systemic scleroderma.
  • mPGES-1 knockout mice the polyp number and size were markedly suppressed in azoxymethane-induced colorectal cancer model mice, which are animal model of colorectal cancer, as compared to WT mice.
  • PGE2 production in large intestinal tumor tissue decreased and production amount of PGI2 that inhibits adhesion of cancer cells and PGD2 that induces cell death via peroxisome proliferator-activated receptor ⁇ (PPAR ⁇ ) increased, as compared to WT mice.
  • PPAR ⁇ peroxisome proliferator-activated receptor ⁇
  • mPGES-1 inhibitor is considered to be an anticancer drug that suppresses the growth and metastasis of cancer including colorectal cancer.
  • inflammatory symptoms and/or pain relating to the conditions thereof, for which NSAIDs are effective for example, arthritis, gout, nephrolithiasis, urolithiasis, headache, menstrual pain, toothache, lumbago, muscular pain, periarthritis scapulohumeralis, cervical syndrome, temporomandibular disorder, and postoperative or posttraumatic inflammation and pain, and inflammation and pain after tooth extraction can be mentioned.
  • acute and chronic non-bacterial inflammation of eye can be mentioned and, for example, uveitis, allergic conjunctivitis and postoperative inflammation and ophthalmalgia in intraocular operation can be mentioned.
  • the main mechanism for the efficacy of NSAIDs is considered to be the suppression of PGE2 production, which is an inflammation promoting substance. Since mPGES-1 inhibitor also has a suppressive action on the PGE2 production, it is considered to be a therapeutic drug for these diseases.
  • the mPGES-1 inhibitor is considered to be beneficial for the prophylaxis or treatment of pain, rheumatism, osteoarthritis, fever, Alzheimer's disease, multiple sclerosis, arteriosclerosis, glaucoma, ocular hypertension, ischemic retinal disease, systemic scleroderma, cancer including colorectal cancer and/or diseases for which suppression of PGE2 production is effective.
