Definitions
- This invention is related to a new use of opioid dipeptide derivatives with ⁇ agonist properties, in particularly as analgesic compounds.
- opioid agonists that selectively act via ⁇ receptors should have advantages over currently available opioid analgesics.
- potential advantages include the production of analgesia with
- Selective peptide ⁇ agonists currently available include the enkephalin analogs H-Tyr-D-Thr-Gly-Phe-Leu-Thr-OH (DTLET; G. Gacel et al., J. Med. Chem. 31, 1891- 1897 (1988) ) and H-Tyr-D-Pen-Gly-Phe-D-Pen-OH (DPDPE, H.I. Mosberg et al., Proc
- Non-peptide ⁇ agonists that have recently been developed include the racemic compound BW373U86 (K.-J. Chang et al., J. Pharmacol. Exp. Ther. 267, 852-857 (1993)) and its chemically modified enantiomer SNC80 (S.N. Calderon et al., J. Med. Chem. 37, 2125- 2128 (1994)) as well as the compound TAN-67 (J. Kamei et al., Eur. J. Pharmacol. 276, 131-135 (1995)).
- BW 373U86 produced significant toxicity, manifested behaviorally as convulsions and barrel rolling, in mice (S.D. Comer et al., J.
- n 1, 3 or 4.
- the object of the present invention was to find structurally modified analogs of H-Tyr-Tic-NH-CH 2 -CH 2 -Ph with improved ⁇ agonist potency.
- Compounds of this type should have potential for therapeutic use as centrally acting analgesics because their low molecular weight and lipophilic character can be expected to facilitate crossing of the BBB.
- H-Tyr-Tic-NH-CH 2 -CH 2 -Ph as defined by the following formula I below, have high potency as ⁇ opioid agonists and retain good ⁇ receptor selectivity.
- the present invention is directed to the use of compounds having the formula I
- R] and R2 is each and independently selected from H;
- R 3 , R4, R5, R ⁇ are all H; or R4, R5, R6 are all H, whereas R3 is Cj-Cg alkyl; or
- R4 and R5 are both H, whereas R3 and Rg are both C ⁇ -C 6 alkyl; or R 3 , R5, R6 are all H, whereas R4 is F, Cl, Br, I, OH, NO 2 or NH 2 ;
- R7 is a 2-phenylethyl- or a 2-cyclohexylethyl group containing one or more additional substituents in ortho- or para-position of the ring moiety or at the carbon atom adjacent to the ring moiety;
- R7 is: (i)
- Rg is selected from H, F, Cl, Br, I, NH2, NO2, -C ⁇ alkyl, and phenyl;
- R9 is selected from H, Cj-C ⁇ alkyl, -CH2OH, and phenyl; wherein

- the compounds disclosed in accordance with the present invention are useful as analgesic agents.
- the compounds of the invention are useful in treating analgesia.
- the wording "analgesia” is defined as absence of pain in response to stimulation which would normally be painful. Since the compounds of the formula I above are ⁇ agonists, they are effective in the treatment of pain without having to be administered in combination with a ⁇ opioid agonist which is the case for compounds which are ⁇ antagonists (E.E. Abdelhamid et al, J. Pharmacol. Exp. Ther. 258; pp. 299-303 (1991) ).
- one aspect of the present invention is the use of a compound of the formula I above for the manufacture of a medicament for use in the treatment of pain.
- One further aspect of the present invention is a method for the treatment of pain, whereby an effective amount of a compound according to formula I above, is administered to a subject suffering from pain
- Boc-amino acids used in the peptide syntheses are commercially available.
- 2 ' -methyltyrosin (Mmt) was prepared by catalytic hydrogenation (Pd/C) of 7-hydroxy- l,2,3,4-tetrahydroisoquinoline-3-carboxylic acid (7-OH-Tic) in AcOH under H2 pressure at 3 atm.
- 2',6'-dimethyltyrosine (Dmt) was prepared as described by J.H. Dygos et al. Synthesis, No. 8 (August) pp. 741-743 (1992). Most of the C-terminal amine substituents were also commercially available.
- 2-(2-bromophenyl)ethylamine, 2-(2-methylphenyl)ethylamine and 2,2-diphenylpropylamine were prepared by reduction of the corresponding nitriles with lithium aluminum hydride, as described by L.M. Amundsen and L.S. Nelson J. Am. Chem. Soc. 73, 242 (1951).
- 2-(2-biphenyl)ethylamine was synthesized as described by S. Goldschmidt and W.L.C. Veer Recueil 67, 489 (1948).
- Ethyl- -phenyl- ⁇ -aminopropionate in racemic form was synthesized as described by E. Testa et al. Liebig's Ann. Chem.
- 2,2-di-p-nitrophenylethylamine was prepared by nitration of 2,2-diphenylethylamine.
- 2,2-di-p-a ⁇ mnophenylethylamine was prepared by catalytic hydrogenation (Pd/C) of 2,2-di-p-nitrophenylethylamine.
- 2,2-di-p-chlorophenylethylamine was obtained from 2,2-di-p-aminophenylethylamine by diazotization of the aromatic amines followed by treatment with CU2CI2 (Sandmeyer reaction).
- ⁇ -Phenyl- ⁇ -aminopropanol was prepared by treatment of Boc-protected ⁇ -phenyl- ⁇ -aminopropionic acid with BH3 TFA.
- 2-(2-nitrophenyl)ethylamine was obtained by reduction of 2-(2-nitrophenyl)ethylamine with LiAlIL.
- All dipeptide derivatives were prepared by solution synthesis by first coupling the C- terminal amine substituent to the carboxylic acid function of Boc-Tic-OH (mixed anhydride method), subsequent deprotection with acid, preferably an organic acid, especially preferred TFA, coupling of the Boc-protected N-terminal tyrosine or tyrosine analog (mixed anhydride method) and final deprotection with acid.
- the preferred acid system for Boc-deprotection is aqueous 95% TFA containing anisole (3%).
- the HPLC system GOLD (Beckman) consisting of the programmable solvent module 126 and the diode array detector module 168 was used for the purification and the purity control of the peptides. Reversed-phase HPLC was performed using a gradient made from two solvents: (A) 0.1% TFA in water and (B) 0.1% TFA in acetonitrile. For preparative runs a
- NMM (1 equiv.) was added to a stirred solution of 1 mmol of Boc-protected amino acid in 5 THF.
- the mixture was cooled to -15°C, treated with IBCF (1 equiv.) and was allowed to react for 2 min. Subsequently, the amino component (1 equiv.) was added.
- the reaction mixture was stirred for 30 min at -15°C and was then allowed to reach room temperature.
- the solvent was then removed by vacuum evaporation and the residual oil was dissolved in 100 ml of EtOAc.
- the resulting solution was extracted consecutively with 5% KHSO , o brine and saturated NaHCO 3 .
- the organic phase was dried (MgSO ), filtered and evaporated to dryness. The resulting crude products were used for deprotection without prior purification.
- Boc-Tic-OH (0.4 mmol) was coupled with H 2 N-CH 2 -CH-(Ph) 2 (2,2-diphenylethylamine, 0.43 mmol) according to method 1. After deprotection compound 1 was obtained as a lyophilisate in 95% yield and was used as such in the next step of the synthesis without further purification.
- Boc-Tyr(Boc)-OH (0.38 mmol) was coupled with the TFA salt of compound 1 (0.38 mmol) in the presence of NMM (2 equiv.). After deprotection the crude product was purified by HPLC. The compound in pure form was obtained in 85% yield.
- Example 2-31 The compounds of Examples 2-31 have been synthesized as described for Example 1 above.
- the racemate of the C-terminal amine substituent was used in the synthesis and the resulting diastereomeric dipeptide derivatives were separated by preparative reversed-phase HPLC, using a Vidac 218TP0046 column (250 x 22 mm), under isocratic conditions: 43% MeOH-57% 0.1% TFA/H 2 O (in the case of Examples 15 and 16, 17 and 18, and 30 and 31), or 34 % MeOH - 66 % 0.1 % TFA/H 2 O) (in the case of Examples 27 and 28).
- Bioassays based on inhibition of electrically evoked contractions of the mouse vas deferens (MVD) and of the guinea pig ileum (GPI) were performed.
- the opioid effect is primarily mediated by ⁇ opioid receptors
- the inhibition of the contractions is mostly due to interaction with ⁇ opioid receptors.
- Agonist potencies are expressed as IC50 values (concentration of the agonist that produces 50% inhibition of the electrically induced contractions).
- ⁇ and ⁇ opioid receptor binding constants (Yf, K, ) of the compounds were determined by displacement of relatively selective ⁇ and ⁇ radioligands from binding sites in rat brain membrane preparations (calculated from the measured IC50 values on the basis of the equation by Cheng and Prusoff (Y.C. Cheng and W.H. Prusoff (Biochem. Pharmacol. 22, 3099-3102 (1973)).
- the ratio Kj ⁇ /Kj ⁇ was a quantitative measure of the ⁇ versus ⁇ receptor selectivity.
- the ⁇ -, ⁇ - and K-opioid receptor affinities of all new analogs were determined in binding assays based on displacement of ⁇ -, ⁇ - and K-selective radioligands from rat brain membrane binding sites.
- K-ligands guinea pig brain homogenates were used, since the relative proportion of K-binding sites is higher in guinea pig brain than in rat brain.
- the experimental procedure being used in our laboratory represents a modified version of the binding assay described by Pasternak et al. (Mol. Pharmacol. 11, 340-351 (1975)).
- Opioid receptor binding assays of dipeptide derivatives with ⁇ opioid receptor agonist ro erties Opioid receptor binding assays of dipeptide derivatives with ⁇ opioid receptor agonist ro erties.
- the described compounds represent a novel class of ⁇ agonists, ⁇ Agonists are of interest as therapeutic agents for use in analgesia because, unlike the traditionally used ⁇ agonists (e.g. morphine), they produce less or no physical dependence, no respiratory depression and less or no adverse gastrointestinal effects.
- the compounds according to the claimed invention have a much lower molecular weight and higher lipophilic character. Therefore, these compounds can be expected to cross the BBB after peripheral administration and to produce a centrally mediated analgesic effect.
