Definitions
- the invention relates to the use of ⁇ -aminobicyclolactams for preparing a medicament intended to prevent or treat inflammatory disorders.
- Inflammation is an important component of physiological host defence. Increasingly, however, it is clear that temporally or spatially inappropriate inflammatory responses play a part in a wide range of diseases, including those with an obvious leukocyte component (such as autoimmune diseases, asthma or atherosclerosis) but also in diseases that have not traditionally been considered to involve leukocytes (such as osteoporosis or Alzheimer's disease).
- leukocyte component such as autoimmune diseases, asthma or atherosclerosis
- diseases that have not traditionally been considered to involve leukocytes such as osteoporosis or Alzheimer's disease.
- the chemokines are a large family of signalling molecules with homology to interleukin- 8 which have been implicated in regulating leukocyte trafficking both in physiological and pathological conditions. With more than fifty ligands and twenty receptors involved in chemokine signalling, the system has the requisite information density to address leukocytes through the complex immune regulatory processes from the bone marrow, to the periphery, then back through secondary lymphoid organs.
- this complexity of the chemokine system has at first hindered pharmacological approaches to modulating inflammatory responses through chemokine receptor blockade. It has proved difficult to determine which chemokine receptor(s) should be inhibited to produce therapeutic benefit in a given inflammatory disease.
- BSCIs Broad Spectrum Chemokine Inhibitors
- peptides and peptoid derivatives such as NR58-3.14.3, may not be optimal for use in vivo. They are quite expensive to synthesise and have relatively unfavourable pharmacokinetic and pharmacodynamic properties.
- NR58-3.14.3 is not orally bioavailable and is cleared from blood plasma with a half-life period of less than 30 minutes after intravenous injection.

- the present invention encompasses the two enantiomeric forms and all combinations of these forms, including the racemic "RS" mixtures. With a view to simplicity, when no specific configuration is shown in the structural formulae, it should be understood that the two enantiomeric forms and their mixtures are represented.
- the compounds of general formula (I) are N-substituted ⁇ -aminobicyclolactams, or their pharmaceutically acceptable salts.
- the N-substitutent is either a carbon amide or a sulfonamide.
- the geometry of the carbon atom next to the carbonyl of the carbon amide or the sulfoyl group of the sulfonamide (the "key” carbon) may be important for the bioactivity of the molecule.
- the nature of the N-substituent may be such that the ring or rings of Y constrain the bond angles at the "key"-carbon to be essentially tetraliedral (i.e. sp3 hybrid bonds).
- R 1 may be a substituent at any permissible position on the ring or rings of the cyclo-group Y.
- the invention includes compounds in which the "key carbon" is both part of the cyclo group and is itself substituted.

- preferred compounds of general formula (I) and their salts according to the present invention are selected from the group consisting of:
- the invention also provides the sulfonamide analogues of the exemplified compounds: i.e. the sulfonyl- ⁇ -aminobicyclolactam equivalents of the said compounds.
- the invention includes compounds, compositions and uses thereof as defined, wherein the compound is in hydrated or solvated form.
- amide and sulfonamide derivatives of ⁇ -aminobicyclolactams described here are functional BSCIs. They are stable in human serum and consequently have excellent pharmacokinetic properties; they are orally bioavailable; they are highly potent broad- spectrum chemokine inhibitors in vitro with excellent selectivity over non-chemokine chemoattractants; they are highly potent and effective anti-inflammatory agents in vivo in rodent models of inflammation; their administration is not associated with any significant acute toxicity at the doses necessary to achieve a maximal therapeutic effect. Taken together, these properties suggest that amide and sulfonamide derivatives of ⁇ - aminobicyclolactams represent anti-inflammatory medications with advantages over previously described compounds.
- the invention is based on a crystal structure of the head group in a highly bioactive molecule: namely a BSCI with sub-nanomolar potency in vitro; (S)-3-(adamantane-l- carbonylamino)azepin-2-one.
- this crystal structure shows that the azepan-2-one ring adopts a particular conformation likely associated with high biological activity, and demonstrates that the torsional angle of the -M-C-C-M- group of atoms (that is the bonds running from the sidechain amide through the the ⁇ -carbon to the ring lactam nitorgen) is an important determinant of bioactivity.
- This torsional angle can be controlled by bridging C3 and C7, since the axial hydrogens at these positions are pointing towards each other.
- the invention provides compounds of general formula (I) 3 in which a bicyclic head group is generated. The number of carbon atoms in the bridge will determine the angles of the axial substituents at C3 and C7.
- the improvement of the present invention lies in the provision of a bridged aminolactam moiety allowing the -N-C-C-N- torsional angles to be precisely controlled, so that a compound from the series with any particularly advantageous set of properties determined by the conformation of the aminolactam ring can be selected.
- Prior art peptides (such as NR58-3.14.3) have the disadvantages that: (a) they are expensive and require solid phase synthesis (at least for the longer ones) and (b) they clear very quickly via the kidneys and (c) they are generally less potent.
- the improvement described here is a class of compounds, the N-substituted ⁇ - aminobicyclolactams, which are even more potent and metabolically stable

- the invention also provides a method of treatment, amelioration or prophylaxis of the symptoms of an inflammatory disease (including an adverse inflammatory reaction to any agent) by the administration to a patient of an anti ⁇ inflammatory amount of a compound, composition or medicament as claimed herein.
- Administration of a medicament according to the invention can be carried out by topical, oral, parenteral route, by intramuscular injection, etc.
- the administration dose envisaged for a medicament according to the invention is comprised between 0.1 mg and 1O g depending on the type of active compound used.

- white O
- black N.
- the C3 and C7 positions of the lactam ring are marked. It can be seen that the -N-C-C-N- torsional angles in the lactam ring are at or near zero.
- the biological activity of the compounds of the current invention may be demonstrated using any of a broad range of functional assays of leukocyte migration in vitro, including but not limited to Boyden chamber and related transwell migration assays, under-agarose migration assays and direct visualisation chambers such as the Dunn Chamber.
- the 96-well format micro transwell assay sj'stem from Neuroprobe (Gaithersburg, TVfD 5 USA) has been used.
- this assay consists of two chambers separated by a porous membrane. The chemoattractant is placed in the lower compartment and the cells are placed in the upper compartment. After incubation for a period at 37°C the cells move towards the chemoattractant, and the number of cells in the lower compartment is proportional to the chemoattractant activity (relative to a series of controls).
- This assay can be used with a range of different leukocyte populations.
- leukocyte subsets may be prepared, including polymorphonuclear cells or lymphocytes or monocytes using methods well known to those skilled in the art such as density gradient centrifugation or magnetic bead separations.
- immortal cell lines which have been extensively validated as models of human peripheral blood leukocytes may be used, including, but not limited to THP-I cells as a model of monocytes or Jurkat cells as model of na ⁇ ve T cells.
- the transwell migration systems are manufactured by Neuroprobe, Gaithersburg, MD,
- the plates used are ChemoTx plates (Neuroprobe 101-8) and 30 ⁇ l clear plates (Neuroprobe MP30).
- Geys' Balanced Salt Solution is purchased from Sigma (Sigma G-9779).
- Fatty acid-free BSA is purchased from Sigma (Sigma A-8806).

- RPMI-1640 without ⁇ henol red is purchased from Sigma (Sigma R-8755).
- the THP-I cell line European Cell culture Collection
- the leukocyte cell population were used as the leukocyte cell population.
- the cell suspension to be placed in the upper compartment is prepared.
- the THP-I cells are pelleted by centrifugation (770 x g; 4 mins) and washed with Geys Balanced Salt Solution with lmg/ml BSA (GBSS + BSA). This wash is then repeated, and the cells repelleted before being resuspended in a small volume of GBSS + BSA for counting, for example using a standard haemocytometer.
- the volume of GBSS + BSA is then adjusted depending on the number of cells present so that the cells are at final density of 4.45 x 10 6 cells per ml of GBSS + BSA. This ensures that there are 100,000 THP-I cells in each 25 ⁇ l of the solution that will be placed in the upper chamber of the plate.
- THP-I cells The suspension of THP-I cells at 4.45 x 10 6 cells/ml is divided into two pots. To one pot the inhibitor under test is added at an appropriate final concentration, in an appropriate vehicle (for example at l ⁇ M in not more than 1% DMSO). To the second pot an equal volume of GBSS + BSA plus vehicle as appropriate (e.g. not more than 1% DMSO) is added to act as a control.
- an appropriate vehicle for example at l ⁇ M in not more than 1% DMSO.
- MCP-I is diluted in GBSS + BSA to give a final concentration of 25 ng/ml. This is divided into two pots, as for the cell suspension. To one pot, the test compound is added to the same final concentration as was added to the cell suspension, while to the other pot an equal volume of GBSS + BSA plus vehicle as appropriate (e,g. not more than 1% DMSO) is added.
- vehicle e,g. not more than 1% DMSO
- the migration chamber should be assembled. Place 29 ⁇ l of the appropriate chemoattractant solution into the lower well of the chamber. Assays should be performed with at least triplicate determinations of each condition. Once. all the lower chambers have been filled, apply the prous membrane to the chamber in accordance with the manufacturer's instructions. Finally, apply 25 ⁇ l of the appropriate cell solution to each upper chamber. A plastic lid is placed over the entire apparatus to prevent evaporation.
- the assembled chamber is incubated at 37 0 C, 5% CO 2 , for 2 hours.
- a suspension of cells in GBSS + BSA is also incubated under identical conditions in a tube: these cells will be used to construct a standard curve for determining the number of cells that have migrated to the lower chamber under each condition.
- the liquid cell suspension is gently removed from the upper chamber, and 20 ⁇ l of ice-cold 2OmM EDTA in PBS is added to the upper chamber, and the apparatus is incubated at 4°C for 15 mins. This procedure causes any cells adhering to the underside of the membrane to fall into the lower chamber.
- the filter is carefully flushed with GBSS + BSA to wash off the EDTA, and then the filter is removed.
- the number of cells migrated into the lower chamber under each condition can then be determined by a number of methods, including direct counting, labelling with fluorescent or radioactive markers or through the use of a vital dye.
- a vital dye MTT. 3 ⁇ l of stock MTT solution are added to each well, and then the plate is incubated at 37 0 C for 1-2 hours during which time dehydrogenase enzymes within the cells convert the soluble MTT to an insoluble blue formazan product that can be quantified spectrophotometrically.
- an 8-point standard curve is set up. Starting with the number of cells added to each upper chamber (100,000) and going down in 2-fold serial dilutions in GBSS + BSA, the cells are added to a plate in 25 ⁇ l, with 3 ⁇ l of MTT stock solution added. The standard curve plate is incubated along side the migration plate.
- the liquid is carefully removed from the lower chambers, taking care not to disturb the precipitated formazan product.
- 20 ⁇ l of DMSO is added to each lower chamber to solubilise the blue dye, and absorbance at 595nm is determined using a 96-well plate reader. The absorbance of each well is then interpolated to the standard curve to estimate the number of cells in each lower chamber.
- the MCP-I stimulated migration is determined by subtracting the average number of cells that reached the lower compartment in wells where no MCP-I was adder! from the average number of cells that reached the lower compartment where MCP-I was present at 25ng/ml.
- the impact of the test substance is calculated by comparing the MCP-I -induced migration which occurred in the presence or absence of various concentrations of the test substance.
- the inhibition of migration is expressed as a percentage of the total MCP-I induced migration which was blocked by the presence of the compound.
- a dose-response graph is constructed by determining the inhibition of MCP-I induced migration which occurs at a range of different compound concentrations (typically ranging from InM to l ⁇ M or higher in the case of poorly active compounds).
- the inhibitory activity of each compound is then expressed as the concentration of compound required to reduce the MCP-1-induced migration by 50% (the ED 50 concentration).
- the dose-response curves for each of the compounds as inhibitors of MCP-I induced THP-I cell migration can be determined using the transwell migration assay.
- the compounds of the present invention as anti-inflammatory agents in vivo it is preferable to use the pure enantiomer of those compounds which are chiral that showed the greater activity in the in vitro bioassay, rather than the racemic mixture of the two enantiomers or the pure enantiomer that was less active in the in vitro bioassay.
