Description

NOVEL COMPOUNDS
The present invention relates to novel compounds and their use as medicaments for the treatment of allergic diseases such as rhinitis or asthma.
The mast cell, by virtue of its capacity to release a variety of pro-inflammatory mediators, proteases and cytokines, its abundant expression of the high-affinity receptor for immunoglobulin E, FcεRI, and its proximity to blood vessels, mucosal surfaces, nerves and smooth muscle, has had a long association with allergic diseases, such as rhinitis and asthma. The mast cells are central to the initiation of the early phase of the allergic inflammatory response (type I hypersensitivity) by releasing e.g. histamine, leukotrienes, platelet activating factor and prostaglandins. More recent clinical studies have demonstrated that activated mast cells express CD40L, an important cell surface ligand expressed by T-cells and critically involved in T/B cell interactions leading to immunoglobulin (IgE) production. Furthermore, activated human mast cells produce and release factors (e.g. IL-3, 4, 5, 6, 8, 13 and TNFα) thought to be involved in upregulating and maintaining the chronic inflammation.
It is therefore expected that inhibitors of mast cells will be useful for the treatment of allergic diseases. WO97/20815, WO98/42669, WO98/42670 and WO98/43971 disclose various pyridine derivatives which are said to be mast cell inhibitors. A series of structurally distinct compounds have now been found to act as mast cell inhibitors and are expected to be particularly useful for the treatment of allergic diseases, especially rhinitis.
In a first aspect the present invention therefore provides a compound of formula (I):

where W is oxygen or sulfur;
X is a C,.6 alkyl or C2^ alkylenyl group;
Y is a bond or a C,.10 alkyl chain optionally substituted by one or more fluorine atoms, and optionally interrupted by one or more oxygen atoms, and R1 is hydrogen or C,.6 alkyl;
R2 is phenyl, C,^ alkyl, a 5-7 membered saturated ring optionally containing 1 or 2 heteroatoms or NHCO2R3 where R3 is C,^ alkyl; and pharmaceutically acceptable salts and solvates thereof, provided that when Y is a bond, R2 is not C,.6 alkyl.
Alkyl groups, whether alone or as part of another group, can be straight chained or branched.
The group W can be oxygen or sulfur. Preferably W is oxygen.
Suitably X is a C^ alkyl or C2.6 alkylenyl group 4, preferably X is CH2CH2 or CH=CH.
Suitably Y is a bond or a C,.10 alkyl chain optionally substituted by one or more fluorine atoms, and optionally interrupted by one or more oxygen atoms. Preferably Y is a bond when R2 is phenyl or cycloalkyl or Y together with R2 forms an octyl group. When R2 is a 5-7 membered saturated ring optionally containing 1 or 2 heteroatoms examples include morpholine, piperidine and piperazine rings, preferably morpholine.
Suitably R1 is hydrogen or C,^ alkyl, preferably R1 is hydrogen.
Preferably the naphthyl substituent is in the following position:

Compounds of the invention can form pharmaceutically acceptable solvates and salts. The compounds of the formula (I) can form acid addition salts with acids, such as conventional pharmaceutically acceptable acids, for example maleic, hydrochloric, hydrobromic, phosphoric, acetic, fumaric, salicylic, citric, lactic, mandelic, tartaric, trifluoroacetic and methanesulphonic acids. Compounds of the invention may also form alkali metal salts such as magnesium, sodium, potassium and calcium salts.
Certain compounds of formula (I) are capable of existing in stereoisomeric forms including enantiomers and the invention extends to each of these stereoisomeric forms and to mixtures thereof including racemates. The different stereoisomeric forms may be separated one from the other by the usual methods, or any given isomer may be obtained by stereospecific or asymmetric synthesis.

Figure imgf000006_0003
where Y, R1 and R2 are as defined in formula (I) or are protected derivatives thereof and X is C2.6 alkenyl, and thereafter, optionally if appropriate and in any order:
• removing any protecting groups

Certain groups in intermediate compounds may need to be protected before reaction of the intermediates. The use of protecting groups is fully described in 'Protective Groups in Organic Chemistry', edited by J. W. F. McOmie, Plenum Press (1973), and 'Protective Groups in Organic Synthesis', 2nd edition, T. W. Greene & P. G. M. Wutz, Wiley- Interscience (1991).

Diastereoisomers may be separated using conventional techniques, e.g. chromatography or fractional crystallisation. The various optical isomers may be isolated by separation of a racemic or other mixture of the compounds using conventional, e.g. fractional crystallisation or HPLC, techniques.
The compounds of the invention are useful because they possess pharmacological activity and more particularly activity in the modulation of inflammatory and allergic conditions, for example as shown in the test described below. The compounds of the invention inhibit the activation of a range of cell types from haematopoetic lineage, including mast cells, neutrophils and eosinophils. In a further aspect the invention therefore provides a compound of formula (I) or a pharmaceutically acceptable salt or solvate thereof for use in therapy. The compounds of the invention are indicated for use in the treatment or prevention of allergic, inflammatory, auto-immune, proliferative and hyper-proliferative diseases.
The compounds of the invention are also indicated in the treatment and prevention of allergic, inflammatory or auto-immune conditions of the lung, including reversible obstructive airways diseases which includes asthma (e.g. bronchial, allergic, intrinsic asthma, extrinsic and chronic asthma), and associated manifestations of the disease (late responses, hyper-responsiveness), also farmer's lung and related diseases, fibrosis, ideopathic interstitial pneumonia, chronic obstructive airways disease (COPD), bronchiectasis, cystic fibrosis, eosinophilic pneumonias, adult respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS), emphysema and alveolitis, for example cryptogenic fibrosing alveolitis.
Further, the compounds of the invention are indicated in the treatment or prevention of allergic, inflammatory or auto-immune conditions in the nose including all conditions characterised by inflammation of the nasal mucous membrane such as acute rhinitis, allergic rhinitis, atrophic rhinitis, chronic rhinitis including rhinitis caseosa, hypertrophic rhinitis, rhinitis purulenta and rhinitis sicca, rhinitis medicamentosa, membranous rhinitis including croupous, fibrinous and pseudomembranous rhinitis, scrofulous rhinitis, seasonal rhinitis including rhinitis nervosa (hay fever) and vasomotor rhinitis.

Administration of the compounds of the invention is preferably by a topical route, for example by inhalation to the lung or more preferably by topical administration to the nose. The compounds of the invention may be inhaled as a dry powder from an inhaler which may be pressurised or non-pressurised.

In such pressurised compositions, the active ingredient is preferably finely divided. The pressurised composition may also contain a surface active agent. The pressurised compositions may be made by conventional methods. The compounds of the invention may be administered systemically (for example by oral administration to the gastrointestinal tract). The active ingredient may be formulated together with known adjuvants, diluents or carriers using conventional techniques to produce tablets or capsules for oral administration to the gastrointestinal tract.

Pharmacological data
Allergic rhinitis model
Anaesthetised guinea-pigs, sensitised to produce IgE antibodies, are exposed to allergen (ovalbumin,OA) by intranasal administrations (lOμl per nostril). For evaluation of the early allergic reaction (EAR) the experiments are terminated 20 min after challenge. A lavage of the nasal cavitites is performed. For evaluation of the late allergic reaction (LAR) the termination time is 5-8 h after challenge.
Clinical relevant read outs in lavage fluid and nasal tissue are: EAR LAR
Mucosal exudation Mucosal exudation
Histamine Histamine Leukotrienes Leukotrienes
Inflammatory cells (eosinophils)
Pretreatments with compounds are performed by single or repeteated intranasal administrations 30 min to 5h prior to allergen challenge.
