Description

BENZISOTHIAZOL-3-ONE-CARBOXYLIC ACID AMIDES AS PHOSPHOLI PASE INHIBITORS
Field of the Invention This invention relates to novel benzisothiazole-3(2H)-one compounds useful for the treatment and/or prevention of diseases mediated by phospholipases including hepatic lipase and endothelial lipase.
Background of the Invention
Hepatic lipase plays an important role in lipid metabolism. Hepatic lipase is a glycoprotein that functions as a ligand or as an enzyme of approximately 65Kda, which has been shown to catalyze the hydrolysis of lipids including triglycerides, diglycerides and phospholipids in native lipoproteins. It has also been shown to facilitate the selective uptake of cholesterol from high-density lipoproteins and the removal of remnant particles by the liver (Jonathan C. Cohen, et al Biochemistry 1992, 31 : 8544- 8551 and Neve et al Biochemistry J. 1998, 330:701-706).
Other studies showing the inverse relationship of HDL and hepatic lipase activity include for example, Haffher S.M. et al., "Studies on the metabolic mechanism of reduced high density lipoproteins during anabolic steroid therapy," Metabolism 1983; 32:413-420; Applebaum-Bowden D, et al., "The Dyslipoproteinemia of Anabolic steroid therapy: increase in hepatic triglyceride lipase precedes the decrease in high density lipoprotein -
2 cholesterol," Metabolism 1987; 36:949-952; and Kantor M.A. et al., "Androgens reduce HDL-2 cholesterol and increase hepatic triglyceride lipase activity," Med. Sci. Sport exercise 1985; 17:462-465.
The inverse relationship between hepatic lipase activity and the level of HDL- cholesterol, particularly type-2 HDL-cholesterol, can be used to advantage in up- regulating the Level of HDL cholesterol-the good cholesterol.
Endothelial lipase (EL) is a newly described member of the lipase gene family. Like hepatic lipase, endothelial lipase has been implicated in the hydrolysis of HDL phospholipids and in the reduction of HDL-cholesterol in vivo.
In experiments using hepatic lipase knockout mice the infusion of a polyclonal antibody inhibitory to endothelial lipase resulted in a marked increase in HDL- cholesterol levels (Rader, D. J., et al Journal of Clinical Investigation (2003), 1 1 1(3) 357-362.
Chan, et al, Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences U.S.A. (2003), 100(5), 2748-2753, has also reported the inverse relation between endothelial lipase and HDL-cholesterol.
Given the preceding information, it is desirable to discover and develop compounds that increase HDL levels by methods that may include inhibiting the activity of hepatic lipase and/or endothelial lipase in order to treat, prevent and/or ameliorate the effects of hepatic lipase and/or endothelial lipase mediated diseases. Few therapeutically desirable agents are available to accomplish the task of increasing HDL levels hence the need for and utility of the present invention.
Summary of the Invention The present invention provides a compound of formula (I) or a pharmaceutically acceptable salt, enantiomer, solvate or prodrug thereof, for the treatment, amelioration and/or prevention of diseases mediated by hepatic lipase and/or endothelial lipase activity:

The salts of the benz(d)isothiazole-3(2H)-one compounds represented by formula (I), are an additional aspect of the invention.
In those instances when the compound of the invention possesses acidic or basic functional groups, various salts may be formed which are more water soluble and more physiologically suitable than the parent compound. Representative pharmaceutically acceptable salts, include but are not limited to, the alkali and alkaline earth salts such as lithium, sodium, potassium, calcium, magnesium, aluminum and the like. Salts are conveniently prepared from the free acid by treating the acid in solution with a base or by exposing the acid to an ion-exchange resin.
Included within the definition of pharmaceutically acceptable salts are the relatively non-toxic, inorganic and organic base addition salts of compounds of the present invention, for example, ammonium, quaternary ammonium, and amine cations, derived from nitrogenous bases of sufficient basicity to form salts with the compounds of this invention (see, for example, S. M. Berge, et al, "Pharmaceutical Salts," J. Phar. Sci.. 66: 1-19 (1977)). Moreover, the basic group(s) of the compound of the invention may be reacted with suitable organic or inorganic acids to form salts such as acetate, benzenesulfonate, benzoate, bicarbonate, bisulfate, bitartrate, borate, hydrobromide, camsylate, carbonate, chloride, clavulanate, citrate, chloride, edetate, edisylate, estolate, esylate, fluoride, fumarate, gluceptate, gluconate, glutamate, glycolylarsanilate, hexylresorcinate, hydrochloride, hydroxynaphthoate, hydroiodide, isothionate, lactate, lactobionate, laurate, malate, malseate, mandelate, mesylate, methylbromide, methylnitrate, methyl sulfate, mucate, napsylate, nitrate, oleate, oxalate, palmitate, pantothenate, phosphate, polygalacturonate, salicylate, stearate, subacetate, succinate, tannate, tartrate, tosylate, trifluoroacetate, trifluoromethane sulfonate, and valerate.
Certain compounds of the invention may possess one or more chiral centers, and thus, may exist in optically active forms. Likewise, when the compounds contain an alkenyl or alkenylene group, there exist the possibility of cis- and trans- isomeric forms of the compounds. The R- and S- isomers and mixtures thereof, including racemic mixtures as well as mixtures of cis- and trans- isomers, are contemplated by this invention. Additional asymmetric carbon atoms can be present in a substituent group such as an alkyl group. All such isomers as well as the mixtures thereof are intended to be included in the invention. If a particular stereoisomer is desired, it can be prepared by methods well known in the art by using stereospecific reactions with starting materials which contain the asymmetric centers and are already resolved or, alternatively by methods which lead to mixtures of the stereoisomers and subsequent resolution by known methods. For example, a racemic mixture may be reacted with a single enantiomer of some other compound. This changes the racemic form into a mixture of stereoisomers and diastereomers, because they have different melting points, different boiling points, and different solubilities and can be separated by conventional means, such as crystallization.
Prodrugs are derivatives of the compounds of the invention which have chemically or metabolically cleavable groups and become by solvolysis or under physiological conditions the compounds of the invention which are pharmaceutically active in vivo. Derivatives of the compounds of this invention have activity in both their acid and base derivative forms, but the acid derivative form often offers advantages of solubility, tissue compatibility, or delayed release in a mammalian organism (see, Bundgard, H., Design of Prodrugs, pp. 7-9, 21 -24, Elsevier, Amsterdam 1985). Prodrugs include acid derivatives well known to practitioners of the art, such as, for example, esters prepared by reaction of the parent acidic compound with a suitable alcohol, or amides prepared by reaction of the parent acid compound with a suitable amine. Simple aliphatic or aromatic esters derived from acidic groups pendent on the compounds of this invention are preferred prodrugs. In some cases it is desirable to prepare double ester type prodrugs such as (acyloxy) alkyl esters or ((alkoxycarbonyl)oxy)alkyl esters. Particularly preferred esters as prodrugs are methyl, ethyl, propyl, isopropyl, n-butyl, isobutyl, tert-butyl, morpholinoethyl, and N,N- diethylglycolamido.
N,N-diethylglycolamido ester prodrugs may be prepared by reaction of the sodium salt of a compound of Formula (I) (in a medium such as dimethylformamide) with 2- chloro-N,N-diethylacetamide (available from Aldrich Chemical Co., Milwaukee, Wisconsin USA; Item No. 25,099-6).

Scheme 1 depicts a protocol for preparing benzisothiazole-3(2H)-one- compounds of the invention starting from an aniline derivative 1 (available from Aldrich Chemical Co. Milwaukee U.S.A, and other fine chemical suppliers) or substituted analogs thereof. The starting material 1 is reacted with tert-butylnitrite to form a diazonium ion intermediate which further reacts with available cyanide ion (from copper cyanide) to afford the benzonitrile compound 2. The nitrile 2 or analog thereof, is reduced to afford the subsituted methylamine compound 3. The reduction of the nitrile to the amine may be accomplished using stannous chloride or other reducing agents following procedures known to one of skill in the art. The substituted methylamine compound 3 is converted to the isocyanate compound 4 in an aprotic solvent such as anhydrous methylene chloride. The convertion to the isocyanate is accomplished using phosgene (available from Aldrich Chemical Company, Milwaukee, USA and other fine chemical manufacturers) in the presence of a proton sponge i.e. triethylamine, to afford the isocyanate compound 4 or analog thereof. The isocyanate 4 or 4' is reacted with a solution of benz[d]isothiazol-3-one in a suitable solvent e.g., anhydrous methylene chloride at temperatures ranging from about 10 °C to 60 °C. More generally, compounds of the invention are prepared by reacting a nitrile 2' purchased from commercial sources or prepared by methods known to one of skill in the art, with a reducing agent to form the primary methylamine compound 3'. The methylamine 3' is converted to the isocyanate by methods known to one of skill in the art. The isocyanate 4) or 4' is then reacted with benz[d]isothiazol-3-one 5 or substituted analogs thereof to afford the compound(s) of the invention, such as compound 6. Benz[d]isothiazole-3-one 5 also named l,2-benzoisothiazolin-3-one is available from commercial suppliers, including for example, MDA Chemicals Limited, Willow Mill, Caton, Lancaster LA2 9RA, UK. Analogs of benz[d]isothiazole-3-one may be obtained by methods described in the examples and/or known to one of skill in the art.
Compounds of formula I wherein one or all of R3, R4, R5, and Rg are other than hydrogen are made starting with purchased starting materials having the requisite substitutents or with starting materials made by methods known to one of skill in the art.

Methods of Using the Compounds of the Invention:
The benzisothiazole-3(2H)-one compounds described herein are believed to achieve their beneficial therapeutic action principally by direct inhibition of hepatic lipase and/or endothelial lipase activity.
The method of the invention for inhibiting hepatic lipase and/or endothelial lipase activity with a therapeutically effective amount of a benzisothiazole-3(2H)-one compound of Formula (I) including a combination thereof, or a salt or a prodrug derivative thereof as described herein. Another aspect of this invention relates to inhibition and/or prevention of "Hepatic Lipase-Mediated Diseases" such as hypercholesterolemia, hyperlipidemia, atherosclerosis and related diseases as described earlier. The method comprises administering to a mammal (including a human) in need of such treatment a therapeutically effective amount of a benzisothiazole-3(2H)-one compound of the invention.
As previously noted, the compounds of the invention are useful for inhibiting hepatic lipase and/or endothelial lipase activity. By the term, "inhibiting" is meant the prevention or therapeutically significant reduction in release of hepatic lipase and/or endothelial lipase by the compounds of the invention. By "pharmaceutically acceptable" it is meant the carrier, diluent or excipient must be compatible with the other ingredients of the formulation and not deleterious to the recipient thereof.
The specific dose of a compound administered according to this invention to obtain therapeutic or ameliorative or prophylactic effect will, of course, be determined by the particular circumstances surrounding the case, including, for example, the compound administered, the route of administration and the condition being treated. Typical daily doses will contain a non-toxic dosage level of from about 0.01 mg/kg to about 50 mg/kg of body weight of an active compound of this invention.
Preferably compounds of the invention per Formula (I) or pharmaceutical formulations containing these compounds are in unit dosage form for administration to a mammal. The unit dosage form can be a capsule or tablet itself, or the appropriate number of any of these. The quantity of Active Ingredient in a unit dose of composition may be varied or adjusted from about 0.1 to about 500 milligrams or more according to the particular treatment involved. It should be appreciated that it may be necessary to make routine variations to the dosage depending on the age and condition of the patient. The dosage will also depend on the route of administration.
The compound can be administered by a variety of routes including oral, aerosol, transdermal, sublingual, subcutaneous, intravenous, intramuscular, or intranasal.
Pharmaceutical formulations of the invention are prepared by combining (e.g., mixing) a therapeutically effective amount of the benzisothiazole-3(2H)-one compound of the invention together with a pharmaceutically acceptable carrier or diluent therefor. The present pharmaceutical formulations are prepared by known procedures using well-known and readily available ingredients.
In making the compositions of the present invention, the Active Ingredient will usually be admixed with a carrier, or diluted by a carrier, or enclosed within a carrier, which may be in the form of a capsule, sachet, paper or other container. When the carrier serves as a diluent, it may be a solid, semi-solid or liquid material which acts as a vehicle, or can be in the form of tablets, pills, powders, lozenges, elixirs, suspensions, emulsions, solutions, syrups, aerosols (as a solid or in a liquid medium), or ointment, containing, for example, up to 10% by weight of the active compound. The compounds of the present invention are preferably formulated prior to administration.
For the pharmaceutical formulations any suitable carrier known in the art can be used. In such a formulation, the carrier may be a solid, liquid, or mixture of a solid and a liquid. For example, for intravenous injection the compounds of the invention may be dissolved in at a concentration of 2 mg/ml in a 4% dextrose/0.5% Na citrate aqueous solution. Solid form formulations include powders, tablets and capsules. A solid carrier can be one or more substance, which may also act as flavoring agents, lubricants, solubilizers, suspending agents, binders, tablet disintegrating agents and encapsulating material.
Tablets for oral administration may contain suitable excipients such as calcium carbonate, sodium carbonate, lactose, calcium phosphate, together with disintegrating agents, such as maize, starch, or alginic acid, and/or binding agents, for example, gelatin or acacia, and lubricating agents such as magnesium stearate, stearic acid, or talc. A preferred tablet formulation for oral administration is one that affords rapid dissolution in the mouth of a patient in need thereof.
In powders the carrier is a finely divided solid, which is in admixture with the finely divided Active Ingredient. In tablets the Active Ingredient is mixed with a carrier having the necessary binding properties in suitable proportions and compacted in the shape and size desired. The powders and tablets preferably contain from about 1 to about 99 weight percent of the Active Ingredient, which is the novel compound of this invention. Suitable solid carriers are magnesium carbonate, magnesium stearate, talc, sugar lactose, pectin, dextrin, starch, gelatin, tragacanth, methylcellulose, sodium carboxymethyl cellulose, low melting waxes, and cocoa butter.
Sterile liquid form formulations include suspensions, emulsions, syrups and elixirs.
The Active Ingredient can be dissolved or suspended in a pharmaceutically acceptable carrier, such as sterile water, sterile organic solvent or a mixture of both. The Active Ingredient can often be dissolved in a suitable organic solvent, for instance aqueous propylene glycol. Other compositions can be made by dispersing the finely divided Active Ingredient in aqueous starch or sodium carboxymethyl cellulose solution or in a suitable oil.

Hepatic Lipase Phospholipase Assay Compounds of the present invention were found to be efficacious in-vitro in inhibiting the release of hepatic lipase and/or endothelial lipase. Efficacy was determined by testing various compounds of the invention in a hepatic lipase and/or endothelial lipase assay discussed below, and disclosed in U.S patent application No. 09/609, 871 filed July 3, 2000 incorporated herein in its entirety for U.S Patent office purposes.
Reagents
Substrate Buffer A: 100 mM Hepes, pH 8.3 at 37 °C
Substrate Buffer B: 100 mM Hepes, pH 8.3 at 37 °C with 6.83 mM Triton XI 00
ThioPEG: Molecular wt. of 540
Recombinant Hepatic Lipase
Thiophospholipid: about 0.42 mM thiophospholipid in chloroform
DTNB Solution: about 50 nM DTNB in DMSO (dimethyl sulfoxide)
Hepes Buffer A
For Hepes Buffer A, there is 2.4 g Hepes/100 mL water. Therefore 36 grams of Hepes is dissolved in 1500 mL of water. The mix solution's pH is adjusted to pH83 at 37° C and brought up to 1500 mL with water. 500 mL of Buffer A is retained for the Protein Buffer.
Hepes Buffer B
To the remaining 1000 mL of Hepes Buffer A, 4.49 g of Triton X- 100 is added and then the combination mixed on a stir plate. It is optimal that stock Buffer A not be too cold or Triton X-100 will take a long time to go into solution
ThioPEG Substrate Solution
For 0.42 mM substrate stock, use 0.227 mg of thioPEG/mL of Substrate Buffer B. Approximately 20 mg of sn-1 thiol substituted Phosphatidyl Ethylene Glycol (see Examples for preparation method) is weighed into a vial, such as a scintillation vial. Enough chloroform should be added to make a 2.043 mg/mL solution. Sonicate the solution briefly until well dissolved. Next, pipette 1 mL of chloroform/substrate solution into each scintillation vial. This should give enough substrate for one full 96 well plate. Each vial is dried with nitrogen until solvent removed, swirling each vial simultaneously such that a thin film of substrate will be easily reconstituted in each buffer. Each vial is then frozen.
Daily stock preparation is performed for 9 mL of substrate (one microtiter plate). On the day of the assay, the substrate vial is removed from the freezer and combined with
9 mL of pre-warmed (37 °C) substrate buffer (the final concentration is 0.227 mg/mL).
Place the buffer in a 37°C water bath. Sonicate for 5 minutes or vortex until solution is clear before use.
Enzyme Solution
The enzyme is stored at -80 °C in 100 or 50 μL portions. A 0.406 mg/mL recombinant hepatic lipase and/or endothelial lipase stock requires a 50-fold dilution. Therefore, to a 50 μl or 100 μl enzyme aliquot, 2450 μl or 4900 μl, respectively, of substrate Buffer A (jjrotein buffer) should be added. The enzyme should then be stored on ice until ready to use. The protein concentration of enzyme is about 0.406 mg/mL. DTNB Solution
To make a 20 mg/mL stock solution, 2-3 mg of DTNB is weighed and then mixed with an appropriate amount of 100% DMSO (dimethyl sulfoxide) to make the desired concentration. This mixture is sonicated for five minutes.
The above solution should be diluted 10 fold with substrate Buffer B (concentration now 2 mg/mL). Then to the thioPEG substrate solution, add 60 μl of dilute DTNB per mL of thioPEG substrate solution. Thus for 9 mL of substrate, 540 microliters of dilute DTNB (final concentration in substrate solution = 0.1 1 mg/mL).
Table 1 below shows final assay volumes and concentrations of various components used following the above procedure.

Assay Procedure
Using a spectrometer, DTNB is u$ed as a thiol coloring reagent with an incubator temperature of 37 °C. Substrate Buffer B is placed in a 37 °C water bath to pre-warm. The substrate is removed from the freezer and 9 mL of substrate Buffer B, 100 mM
Hepes, 6.83 mM Tx-100) is added, sonicated for 5 min. and then kept in a 37 °C water bath. Dilutions of the test compound are next made in preparation for assay.
10 μl of the diluted test compound are transferred via pipette into the wells. Control wells receive 10 μl each of 10%> DMSO and enzyme solution, while blank wells receive 10 microliters of 10%> DMSO and 10 microliters of saline (no enzyme).
Next, DTNB is weighed and diluted to 20 mg/mL with DMSO. The DTNB is then diluted 10 fold with the substrate Buffer B. 540 μl of diluted DTNB is added to 9 ml of ThioPEG and mixed well.
The stock enzyme is diluted with Buffer A. Next, 10 microliters of protein solution is added to each well except the blank, and the wells mixed. The stock solution and test compounds are incubated at 37 °C for 10 min. At 10 minutes, 80 microliters of substrate are added to each well. The plate is then placed in the spectrometer and read at 412 nM every 2 minutes for 30 minutes.

Characterization of endothelial lipase activity
Hepatic lipase (HL) and endothelial lipase (EL) were expressed from AVI 2 cells. Aliquots from one days collection of media were stored at -70 °C. Activity was measured for both enzymes in conditioned media, (non-purified ) where they were tested on the same plate with Thio PEG substrate (0.06 mol fraction, 7.24 mM total lipid), at 37 °C for 30 minutes. The HL, at lx, had an OD of 14.7. The OD for EL at lx was 6.029. Therefore, when HL was used in studies where it was compared to EL, the HL was at 0.25x and EL was used at lx. All experiments were done in triplicate with enzyme from conditioned media.
Kinetic experiments for EL were done varying the total lipid with a constant 0.044 mol fraction determining that a l OmM total lipid was optimal. In addition, kinetic experiments varying the mol fractions with a constant total lipid showed that 0.03 mol fraction was optimal. Each experiment was run three times.
Experiments to determine proper pH of the substrate to be used with EL were performed at 37 °C with the above-mentioned conditions. The enzyme was tested at pH 7.0, 7.4 and 8.3. The order of addition of reagents/enzyme was as follows: 1 OμL of 10%> DMSO, 80 μL of substrate and 10 μL of enzyme. Data represents an average of three experiments.
Temperature of the assay was varied from 26.9 °C to 37 °C with the above- mentioned conditions. This was the temperature of the incubation during the 30-minute read. The pH of the substrate was 8.3. The order of addition of reagents/enzyme was as follows: 1 OμL of 10% DMSO, 80 μL of substrate and 10 μL of enzyme. Each experiment was run three times. Data is an average of these experiments.
Substrate specificity was determined by testing the activity of HL and EL with Thio Phosphatidylethylene glycol (PEG) and Thio-phosphatidylethanolamine (PE).
Assay conditions of assay were as follows. Both substrates for EL were run at 0.03 mol fraction, l OmM total lipid. They were dissolved in l OOmM Hepes with 9.95mM TX100. Both substrates for HL were run at 0.06 mol fraction and 7.25 mM total lipid. They were dissolved in lOOmM Hepes with 6.83mM Triton XI 00. The EL enzyme was used at lx and the HL enzyme was used at 0.25x. The order of addition was as follows: 1 OμL of 10% DMSO, 80 μL of substrate and 10 μL of enzyme. The DMSO and substrate were incubated for 10 minutes at 37°C before the addition of the enzyme. DTNB was added to the substrate prior to addition to the well at 0.096 mg/mL final plate concentration. The experiments were performed 3 times. Data represents an average of these.
While the present invention has been illustrated above by certain specific embodiments, it is not intended that these specific examples should limit the scope of the invention as described in the appended claims.
Experimental All of the products of the Examples described below as well as intermediates used in the following procedures showed satisfactory NMR and IR spectra. They also had the correct mass spectral values.
