ISOQUINOLINE DERIVATIVES

A number of compounds and groups of compounds with PDE4 inhibitory activity are known from the literature (Drug News and Perspectives 8_(8) p 514-520 (1995)). PDE4 inhibitors are supposed to be useful in the treatment of diseases like for instance asthma, chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD), rheumatoid arthritis, multiplex sclerosis and dermatological diseases.
However, the PDE4 inhibitory compounds selected for development turned out to exert several side effects during clinical studies, precluding or strongly limiting their therapeutic application. Such side effects are vomiting and cardiovascular reactions. It is supposed that these side effects are consequences of the relatively weak selectivity and unfavourable side effect profile of the PDE4 inhibitors described in the literature.
Additional disadvantages of the known compounds are toxicity, insufficient bioavailability and weak stability.
We aimed to develop isoquinolme type PDE4 inhibitors which exhibit strong inhibitory activity and are selective to the PDE4 enzyme, i.e. they inhibit the PDE4 enzyme in much smaller concentration than the enzymes PDE1. PDE2, PDE3 and PDE5. Further aims were good stability, bioavailability, therapeutic index and low toxicity favouring drug development, and good enteric absorption allowing oral application. We have found that the compounds of the general formula (I)

PDE4 enzyme inhibitory activity of the compounds of the general formula (I) were determined by the following two-step method:
The standard assay mixture contains:
30 μl human PDE4 enzyme
20 μl of one of the test compounds of the general formula (I) or its solution
20 μl [3H] cAMP substrate (220000 dpm)
30 μl 40 mM Tris buffer (pH=7,6) containing 2.5mM magnesium sulfate
The reaction is initiated by addition of the substrate. The samples are incubated at 30 °C for 30 min., then the reaction is stopped by boiling the assay tubes for 2 min. After cooling the tubes 50 μl of the poison of the Crotalux atrox snake species (0,5 mg/ml distilled water) is added and the samples are incubated at 37°C for 30 min. The nonreacted cAMP is removed by chromatography on Dowex 1x8 (chloride form) ion-exchange resin: 1 ml of Dowex is added to the sample and after vortex-mixing the resin is left to settle at room temperature for 60 min. The mixture of 500 ml supernatant and of 2 ml of the liquid scintillation cocktail is measured to determine the amount of formed [Η] adenosine.
The following results were obtained by that method compound of the general formula (I) PDE4-ICso (mol/1)
