Definitions

  • the present invention relates to novel pyrimidine-sulfamides of the general formula I and their use as active ingredients in the preparation of pharmaceutical compositions.
  • the invention also concerns related aspects including processes for the preparation of the compounds, pharmaceutical compositions containing one or more compounds of the general formula I and especially their use as endothelin receptor antagonists.
  • Endothelins are 21-amino acid peptides produced and active in almost all tissues (Yanagisawa M et al.: Nature (1988) 332:411 ). Endothelins are potent vasoconstrictors and important mediators of cardiac, renal, endocrine and immune functions (McMillen MA et al.: J Am Coll Surg (1995) 180:621 ). They participate in bronchoconstriction and regulate neu retransmitter release, activation of inflammatory cells, fibrosis, cell proliferation and cell differentiation (Rubanyi GM et al.: Pharmacol Rev (1994) 46:328).
  • ET A , ET B Two endothelin receptors have been cloned and characterized in mammals (ET A , ET B ) (Arai H et al.: Nature (1990) 348:730; Sakurai T et al.: Nature (1990) 348:732).
  • the ET A receptor is characterized by higher affinity for ET-1 and ET-2 than for ET-3. It is predominant in vascular smooth muscle cells and mediates vasoconst cting and proliferative responses (Ohlstein EH et al.: Drug Dev Res (1993) 29:108).
  • the ET B receptor has equivalent affinity for the three endothelin isopeptides and binds the linear form of endothelin, tetra-ala- endothelin, and sarafotoxin S6C (Ogawa Y et al.: BBRC (1991) 178:248).
  • This receptor is located in the vascular endothelium and smooth muscles, and is also particularly abundant in lung and brain.
  • ET B receptor from endothelial cells mediates transient vasodilator responses to ET-1 and ET-3 through the release of nitric oxide and/or prostacyclin whereas the ETB receptor from smooth muscle cells exerts vasoconsthcting actions (Sumner MJ et al.: Brit J Pharmacol (1992) 107:858).
  • ETA and ETB receptors are highly similar in structure and belong to the superfamily of G-protein coupled receptors.
  • ET-1 A pathophysiological role has been suggested for ET-1 in view of its increased plasma and tissue levels in several disease states such as hypertension, pulmonary hypertension, sepsis, atherosclerosis, acute myocardial infarction, congestive heart failure, renal failure, migraine and asthma.
  • endothelin receptor antagonists have been studied extensively as potential therapeutic agents. Endothelin receptor antagonists have demonstrated preclinical and/or clinical efficacy in various diseases such as cerebral vasospasm following subarachnoid hemorrhage, heart failure, pulmonary and systemic hypertension, neurogenic inflammation, renal failure and myocardial infarction.
  • ET A / ET B receptor blockade the contribution of differing ET A / ET B receptor blockade to the clinical outcome is not known.
  • tailoring of the physicochemical and pharmacokinetic properties and the selectivity profile of each antagonist for a given clinical indication is mandatory. So far, no endothelin receptor antagonists with a pyrimidine core structure containing a sulfamide unit, have been reported
  • membranes of CHO cells expressing human recombinant ET A or ET B receptors were used. Microsomal membranes from recombinant CHO cells were prepared and the binding assay made as previously described (Breu V., et al, FEBS Lett 1993; 334:210).
  • the assay was performed in 200 uL 50 mM Tris/HCI buffer, pH 7.4, including 25 mM MnCI 2 , 1 mM EDTA and 0.5% (w/v) BSA in polypropylene microtiter plates.
  • Membranes containing 0.5 ug protein were incubated for 2 h at 20°C with 8 pM [ 125 I]ET-1 (4000 cpm) and increasing concentrations of unlabelled antagonists. Maximum and minimum binding were estimated in samples without and with 100 nM ET-1 , respectively. After 2 h, the membranes were filtered on filterplates containing GF/C filters (Unifilterplates from Canberra Packard S.A. Zurich, Switzerland).
  • IC 5 o was calculated as the concentration of antagonist inhibiting 50 % of the specific binding of ET-1.
  • the IC 50 values obtained with compounds of general formula I are given in Table 1.
  • Example 29 13.5 4230
  • Example 84 37 574
  • Example 214 0.76 241 2) Inhibition of endothelin-induced contractions on isolated rat aortic rings (ET A receptors) and rat tracheal rings (ET B receptors):
  • the functional inhibitory potency of the endothelin antagonists was assessed by their inhibition of the contraction induced by endothelin-1 on rat aortic rings (ET A receptors) and of the contraction induced by sarafotoxin S6c on rat tracheal rings (ETB receptors).
  • E A receptors endothelin-1 on rat aortic rings
  • EB receptors sarafotoxin S6c on rat tracheal rings
  • Each ring was suspended in a 10 ml isolated organ bath filled with Krebs- Henseleit solution (in mM; NaCI 115, KCI 4.7, MgSO 4 1.2, KH 2 PO 4 1.5, NaHCO 3 25, CaCI 2 2.5, glucose 10) kept at 37°C and gassed with 95% O 2 and 5% CO 2 .
  • the rings were connected to force transducers and isometric tension was recorded (EMKA Technologies SA, Paris, France).
  • the rings were stretched to a resting tension of 3 g (aorta) or 2 g (trachea). Cumulative doses of ET-1 (aorta) or sarafotoxin S6c (trachea) were added after a 10 min incubation with the test compound or its vehicle.
  • the functional inhibitory potency of the test compound was assessed by calculating the concentration ratio, i.e. the shift to the right of the EC 5 o induced by different concentrations of test compound.
  • EC5 0 is the concentration of endothelin needed to get a half-maximal contraction
  • pA 2 is the negative logarithm of the antagonist concentration which induces a two-fold shift in the EC 50 value.
  • the described compounds can be used for treatment of diseases, which are associated with an increase in vasoconstriction, proliferation or inflammation due to endothelin.
  • diseases which are associated with an increase in vasoconstriction, proliferation or inflammation due to endothelin.
  • diseases are hypertension, pulmonary hypertension, coronary diseases, cardiac insufficiency, renal and myocardial ischemia, renal failure, cerebral ischemia, dementia, migraine, subarachnoidal hemorrhage, Raynaud's syndrome and portal hypertension.

  • the compounds can be administered orally, rectally, parenterally, e.g. by intravenous, intramuscular, subcutaneous, intrathecal or transdermal administration or sublingually or as ophthalmic preparation or administered as aerosol.
  • parenterally e.g. by intravenous, intramuscular, subcutaneous, intrathecal or transdermal administration or sublingually or as ophthalmic preparation or administered as aerosol.
  • applications are capsules, tablets, orally administered suspensions or solutions, suppositories, injections, eye-drops, ointments or aerosols/nebulizers.
  • Preferred applications are intravenous, intra-muscular, or oral administrations as well as eye drops.

Description

NOVEL SU FAMIDES AND THEIR USE AS ENDOTHELIN RECEPTOR ANTAGONISTS
The present invention relates to novel pyrimidine-sulfamides of the general formula I and their use as active ingredients in the preparation of pharmaceutical compositions. The invention also concerns related aspects including processes for the preparation of the compounds, pharmaceutical compositions containing one or more compounds of the general formula I and especially their use as endothelin receptor antagonists.
Endothelins (ET-1 , ET-2, and ET-3) are 21-amino acid peptides produced and active in almost all tissues (Yanagisawa M et al.: Nature (1988) 332:411 ). Endothelins are potent vasoconstrictors and important mediators of cardiac, renal, endocrine and immune functions (McMillen MA et al.: J Am Coll Surg (1995) 180:621 ). They participate in bronchoconstriction and regulate neu retransmitter release, activation of inflammatory cells, fibrosis, cell proliferation and cell differentiation (Rubanyi GM et al.: Pharmacol Rev (1994) 46:328).
Two endothelin receptors have been cloned and characterized in mammals (ETA, ETB) (Arai H et al.: Nature (1990) 348:730; Sakurai T et al.: Nature (1990) 348:732). The ETA receptor is characterized by higher affinity for ET-1 and ET-2 than for ET-3. It is predominant in vascular smooth muscle cells and mediates vasoconst cting and proliferative responses (Ohlstein EH et al.: Drug Dev Res (1993) 29:108). In contrast, the ETB receptor has equivalent affinity for the three endothelin isopeptides and binds the linear form of endothelin, tetra-ala- endothelin, and sarafotoxin S6C (Ogawa Y et al.: BBRC (1991) 178:248). This receptor is located in the vascular endothelium and smooth muscles, and is also particularly abundant in lung and brain. The ETB receptor from endothelial cells mediates transient vasodilator responses to ET-1 and ET-3 through the release of nitric oxide and/or prostacyclin whereas the ETB receptor from smooth muscle cells exerts vasoconsthcting actions (Sumner MJ et al.: Brit J Pharmacol (1992) 107:858). ETA and ETB receptors are highly similar in structure and belong to the superfamily of G-protein coupled receptors.
A pathophysiological role has been suggested for ET-1 in view of its increased plasma and tissue levels in several disease states such as hypertension, pulmonary hypertension, sepsis, atherosclerosis, acute myocardial infarction, congestive heart failure, renal failure, migraine and asthma. As a consequence, endothelin receptor antagonists have been studied extensively as potential therapeutic agents. Endothelin receptor antagonists have demonstrated preclinical and/or clinical efficacy in various diseases such as cerebral vasospasm following subarachnoid hemorrhage, heart failure, pulmonary and systemic hypertension, neurogenic inflammation, renal failure and myocardial infarction.
Today, only one endothelin receptor antagonist (Tracleer™) is marketed and several are in clinical trials. However, some of these molecules possess a number of weaknesses such as complex synthesis, low solubility, high molecular weight, poor pharmacokinetics, or safety problems (e.g. liver enzyme increases).
Furthermore, the contribution of differing ETA / ETB receptor blockade to the clinical outcome is not known. Thus, tailoring of the physicochemical and pharmacokinetic properties and the selectivity profile of each antagonist for a given clinical indication is mandatory. So far, no endothelin receptor antagonists with a pyrimidine core structure containing a sulfamide unit, have been reported
[2, 3, 5, 6, 8]. We have discovered a new class of substituted pyrimidines of the structure below and found that they allow the specific tailoring described above and in addition compounds exhibiting mixed as well as ETA-selective binding profiles have been identified.
The inhibitory activity of the compounds of general formula I on endothelin receptors can be demonstrated using the test procedures described hereinafter: For the evaluation of the potency and efficacy of the compounds of the general formula I the following tests were used:
1) Inhibition of endothelin binding to membranes from CHO cells carrying human ET receptors:
For competition binding studies, membranes of CHO cells expressing human recombinant ETA or ETB receptors were used. Microsomal membranes from recombinant CHO cells were prepared and the binding assay made as previously described (Breu V., et al, FEBS Lett 1993; 334:210).
The assay was performed in 200 uL 50 mM Tris/HCI buffer, pH 7.4, including 25 mM MnCI2, 1 mM EDTA and 0.5% (w/v) BSA in polypropylene microtiter plates. Membranes containing 0.5 ug protein were incubated for 2 h at 20°C with 8 pM [125I]ET-1 (4000 cpm) and increasing concentrations of unlabelled antagonists. Maximum and minimum binding were estimated in samples without and with 100 nM ET-1 , respectively. After 2 h, the membranes were filtered on filterplates containing GF/C filters (Unifilterplates from Canberra Packard S.A. Zurich, Switzerland). To each well, 50 uL of scintillation cocktail was added (MicroScint 20, Canberra Packard S.A. Zurich, Switzerland) and the filter plates counted in a microplate counter (TopCount, Canberra Packard S.A. Zurich, Switzerland).
All the test compounds were dissolved, diluted and added in DMSO. The assay was run in the presence of 2.5% DMSO which was found not to interfere significantly with the binding. IC5o was calculated as the concentration of antagonist inhibiting 50 % of the specific binding of ET-1. For reference compounds, the following IC50 values were found: ETA cells: 0.075 nM (n=8) for ET-1 and 118 nM (n=8) for ET-3; ETB cells: 0.067 nM (n=8) for ET-1 and 0.092 nM (n=3) for ET-3. The IC50 values obtained with compounds of general formula I are given in Table 1.

The functional inhibitory potency of the endothelin antagonists was assessed by their inhibition of the contraction induced by endothelin-1 on rat aortic rings (ETA receptors) and of the contraction induced by sarafotoxin S6c on rat tracheal rings (ETB receptors). Adult Wistar rats were anesthetized and exsanguinated. The thoracic aorta or trachea were excised, dissected and cut in 3-5 mm rings. The endothelium/epithelium was removed by gentle rubbing of the intimal surface. Each ring was suspended in a 10 ml isolated organ bath filled with Krebs- Henseleit solution (in mM; NaCI 115, KCI 4.7, MgSO4 1.2, KH2PO4 1.5, NaHCO3 25, CaCI2 2.5, glucose 10) kept at 37°C and gassed with 95% O2 and 5% CO2. The rings were connected to force transducers and isometric tension was recorded (EMKA Technologies SA, Paris, France). The rings were stretched to a resting tension of 3 g (aorta) or 2 g (trachea). Cumulative doses of ET-1 (aorta) or sarafotoxin S6c (trachea) were added after a 10 min incubation with the test compound or its vehicle. The functional inhibitory potency of the test compound was assessed by calculating the concentration ratio, i.e. the shift to the right of the EC5o induced by different concentrations of test compound. EC50 is the concentration of endothelin needed to get a half-maximal contraction, pA2 is the negative logarithm of the antagonist concentration which induces a two-fold shift in the EC50 value.
The pA2 values obtained with compounds of formula I are given in Table 2.

In Scheme 1 the synthetic procedure to prepare compounds of the general formula I is depicted by the description of the synthesis of Example 3 and Example 5. The other examples given in this document can be prepared via the same synthetic pathway, adapting the substituents and reaction conditions. The literature references given in [ ] are set forth at the end of this paragraph. The amidines 2 were synthesized applying standard methodology [1] by reaction of the appropriate nitrile 1 with sodium methylate in methanol followed by addition of ammonium chloride. The 2-substituted malonic esters 3 were prepared according to published procedures [2] by reacting dimethylchloromalonate (5) with the appropriate alcohol 4 in acetone and potassium carbonate as base. The compounds 3 were dissolved in methanol, sodium methylate was added, and stirring was continued for about 30 min followed by the addition of an amidine derivative 2. Stirring at ambient temperature was continued for another 8 h. After acidic work up the 4,6-dihydroxypyrimidines 6 could be isolated in yields of 70 to 90% [2]. Compounds 6 or the tautomeric form thereof were transformed into the dichloro derivatives 7 with phosphorus oxychloride in the presence of N,N- dimethylaniline at elevated temperatures (60-120°C) in yields of 40 to 75% [3]. The dichlorides 7 were reacted with an excess of the appropriate sulfamide potassium salt 8 (prepared as described in Scheme 3) in DMSO at r.t. or 40 to 60°C to give the monochloro-pyrimidines 9 in yields of 70 to 90% either after recrystallization from ethyl acetate / diethylether or chromatography through silica gel with ethyl acetate / heptane. The pyrimidine derivatives 9 are then reacted with ethylene glycol (or another 1-ω-diol, or a mono alcohol) in the presence of a base like potassium tert.-butylate, sodium hydride or sodium at 80 - 110°C for 4 to 16 h to give compounds 10 as the first claimed compounds in yields of 50 to 70%, which can be further transformed to compounds 12 by reaction with 2- chloro-5-bromopyrimidine (11) (or another suitable pyrimidine or pyridine derivative) in THF / DMF ~5 / 1 at either r.t. or at 50 - 70°C in yields of 50 - 80%.
