Definitions

  • the present invention concerns novel 2 amino-pyrimidine derivatives, processes for preparing them, pharmaceutical compositions containing them and their use as pharmaceuticals.
  • Histamine was isolated and identified by Windhaus & Vogt (1907) and demonstrated to exert a wide range of physiological effects (Dale & Laidlaw, 1910). Histamine is produced from cellular stores, such as mast cells, basophils, enterochromaffin like cells and within histaminergic neurons, but can also be synthesised by the enzyme, histidine decarboxylase, and released from a number of different cell types. Several haematopoietic cell populations possess this enzymatic activity. The actions of histamine are mediated by members of the G-protein coupled receptor superfamily. To date four histamine receptor subtypes have been identified and characterised.
  • -, H2-, and H3-receptor were defined on the basis of quantitative receptor pharmacology using selective receptor antagonists and their physiological effects are well characterised (see Hill ef al., 1997).
  • histamine and other histamine receptor agonists such as calcium mobilisation in human eosinophils (Raible ef al., 1994) were concluded to be mediated by receptor, which was distinct from the above known subtypes as judged by agonist potency orders and antagonist affinity estimates.
  • a number of groups (Oda ef al. 2000; Nakamura ef a/. 2000; Zhu et al. 2001 ; Nguyen ef al. 2001 ; Morse ef al. 2001 ; Liu ef al. 2001 ; Coge ef al 2001 ;
  • H4-receptor a novel histamine receptor, which was termed the H4-receptor.
  • the gene encoding this receptor is located on chromosome 18q11.2 and encodes a 390 amino acid receptor, which is expressed predominantly on cells of immune origin.
  • the amino acid sequence of human H ⁇ receptor is most closely related to the human H3-receptor sharing 35-43% sequence identity at the protein level and increasing to 58% in the transmembrane domains. Sequence identity with the H ⁇
  • the H4-receptor has subsequently been cloned in a number of species; mouse, rat, guinea pig, porcine and monkey. With the exception of the monkey H4-receptor, which is highly homologous to the human receptor
  • the homology across the remaining species is between 65-72% (Oda ef al. 2002; Liu ef al. 2001 ).
  • the expression profile of this receptor is consistent across species, being present in haematopoietic cells, including eosinophils, mast cells, basophils, T-lymphocytes and dendritic cells.
  • low positive signals have been detected in brain, lung and liver. This relatively restricted expression suggests a potential role in inflammation, haematopoiesis and immunity.
  • H4 -receptor To date a number of inflammatory actions of the H4 -receptor have been described: in vitro actions, calcium mobilisation and chemotaxis of murine mast cells (Hofstra et al. 2003) and eosinophils (Buckland et al., 2003; Ling et al., 2004), upregulation of adhesion molecules, CD11 b/CD18 (Mad ) and CD54 on eosinophils (Buckland et al. 2003; Ling et al. 2004) and reduction in pro-inflammatory cytokine profiles following TLR ligand stimulation of dendritic cells (Dunford et al.

Description

Novel 2 Amino-Pyrimidine Derivatives, Processes for Preparing Them, Pharmaceutical Compositions Thereof
The present invention concerns novel 2 amino-pyrimidine derivatives, processes for preparing them, pharmaceutical compositions containing them and their use as pharmaceuticals.
Background
Histamine was isolated and identified by Windhaus & Vogt (1907) and demonstrated to exert a wide range of physiological effects (Dale & Laidlaw, 1910). Histamine is produced from cellular stores, such as mast cells, basophils, enterochromaffin like cells and within histaminergic neurons, but can also be synthesised by the enzyme, histidine decarboxylase, and released from a number of different cell types. Several haematopoietic cell populations possess this enzymatic activity. The actions of histamine are mediated by members of the G-protein coupled receptor superfamily. To date four histamine receptor subtypes have been identified and characterised. The H-|-, H2-, and H3-receptor were defined on the basis of quantitative receptor pharmacology using selective receptor antagonists and their physiological effects are well characterised (see Hill ef al., 1997). However, some actions of histamine and other histamine receptor agonists, such as calcium mobilisation in human eosinophils (Raible ef al., 1994) were concluded to be mediated by receptor, which was distinct from the above known subtypes as judged by agonist potency orders and antagonist affinity estimates. Subsequently, a number of groups (Oda ef al. 2000; Nakamura ef a/. 2000; Zhu et al. 2001 ; Nguyen ef al. 2001 ; Morse ef al. 2001 ; Liu ef al. 2001 ; Coge ef al 2001 ;
O'Reilly ef al. 2002) identified and characterised a novel histamine receptor, which was termed the H4-receptor. The gene encoding this receptor is located on chromosome 18q11.2 and encodes a 390 amino acid receptor, which is expressed predominantly on cells of immune origin. The amino acid sequence of human H^receptor is most closely related to the human H3-receptor sharing 35-43% sequence identity at the protein level and increasing to 58% in the transmembrane domains. Sequence identity with the H<|- and H2-receptor subtypes is between 18-31%. The H4-receptor has subsequently been cloned in a number of species; mouse, rat, guinea pig, porcine and monkey. With the exception of the monkey H4-receptor, which is highly homologous to the human receptor
(>90%, Oda ef al. 2005), the homology across the remaining species is between 65-72% (Oda ef al. 2002; Liu ef al. 2001 ). The expression profile of this receptor is consistent across species, being present in haematopoietic cells, including eosinophils, mast cells, basophils, T-lymphocytes and dendritic cells. In addition, low positive signals have been detected in brain, lung and liver. This relatively restricted expression suggests a potential role in inflammation, haematopoiesis and immunity.
To date a number of inflammatory actions of the H4 -receptor have been described: in vitro actions, calcium mobilisation and chemotaxis of murine mast cells (Hofstra et al. 2003) and eosinophils (Buckland et al., 2003; Ling et al., 2004), upregulation of adhesion molecules, CD11 b/CD18 (Mad ) and CD54 on eosinophils (Buckland et al. 2003; Ling et al. 2004) and reduction in pro-inflammatory cytokine profiles following TLR ligand stimulation of dendritic cells (Dunford et al. 2006); in vivo actions, histamine-induced mast cell recruitment (Thurmond et al., 2004), neutrophil infiltration in a mouse zymosan-induced peritonitis model (Thurmond et al. 2004) and zymosan-induced neutrophilia to the pleural cavity (Takeshita et al. 2003), eosinophil recruitment (Dunford et al. 2006; Douglas et al., 2006) and mediating itch/puritis (Bell et al. 2004).
On this basis histamine H^receptor antagonists and inverse agonists may be used for the prophylaxis and treatment of different kinds of diseases and disorders such as: respiratory diseases such as adult respiratory distress syndrome, acute respiratory distress syndrome, bronchitis, chronic bronchitis, chronic obstructive pulmonary disease, cystic fibrosis, asthma, emphysema, rhinitis, chronic sinusitis, allergy, allergy induced airway responses, allergic rhinitis, viral rhinitis, non-allergic rhinitis, perennial and seasonal rhinitis, nasal congestion, allergic congestion; disorders of the genito-urinary tract such as female and male sexual dysfunction, overactive bladder conditions, urinary incontinence, neurogenic detrusor overactivity, idiopathic detrusor overactivity, benign prostate hyperplasia and lower urinary tract symptoms; dermatological diseases such as dermatitis and psoriasis and treatment of itchy skin; diseases of the cardiovascular system including thromboembolic diseases, atherosclerosis, myocardial infarction, angina pectoris (including unstable angina) myocardial ischaemia and arrhythmia, reocclusions and restenosis following angioplasty or coronary bypass, stroke, transitory ischaemic attacks, peripheral arterial occlusive diseases, pulmonary embolisms or deep venous thromboses, hypotension, pulmonary hypertension, malignant hypertension, cardiac insufficiency, heart or kidney failure, stroke and renal disfunction; diseases of the gastrointestinal tract including inflammatory bowel disease, Crohn's disease, ulcerative colitis; autoimmune diseases including rheumatoid arthritis, multiple sclerosis; cancer; pain; lymphatic diseases.

The activity of the compounds of formula I or their pharmaceutically acceptable salts, as H4 antagonists can be determined in a tritiated histamine binding assay and in a H4 GTPγS35 binding assay. The objective of this test is to evaluate the anti- H4 potential of a compound by measuring its inhibitory effect on histamine binding to the H4 receptor or on H4 receptor activation. Results obtained with compounds of formula I are indicative of a strong pharmacological effect. For treating diseases, compounds of formula I or their pharmaceutically acceptable salts, may be employed at an effective daily dosage and administered in the form of a pharmaceutical composition.
Therefore, another embodiment of the present invention concerns a pharmaceutical composition comprising an effective amount of a compound of formula I or a pharmaceutically acceptable salt thereof in combination with a pharmaceutically acceptable diluent or carrier.
To prepare a pharmaceutical composition according to the invention, one or more of the compounds of formula I or a pharmaceutically acceptable salt thereof, is intimately admixed with a pharmaceutical diluent or carrier according to conventional pharmaceutical compounding techniques known to the skilled practitioner.
Suitable diluents and carriers may take a wide variety of forms depending on the desired route of administration, e.g., oral, rectal, or parenteral.
Pharmaceutical compositions comprising compounds according to the invention can, for example, be administered orally or parenterally, i.e., intravenously, intramuscularly, subcutaneously, transdermal^, intrathecal^ or by inhalation.
Pharmaceutical compositions suitable for oral administration can be solids or liquids and can, for example, be in the form of tablets, pills, dragees, gelatine capsules, solutions, syrups, suppositories, patches, inhalants, and the like. To this end the active ingredient may be mixed with an inert diluent or a non-toxic pharmaceutically acceptable carrier such as starch or lactose. Optionally, these pharmaceutical compositions can also contain a binder such as microcrystalline cellulose, gum tragacanth or gelatine, a disintegrant such as alginic acid, a lubricant such as magnesium stearate, a glidant such as colloidal silicon dioxide, a sweetener such as sucrose or saccharin, or colouring agents or a flavouring agent such as peppermint or methyl salicylate.
The invention also contemplates compositions which can release the active substance in a controlled manner. Pharmaceutical compositions which can be used for parenteral administration are in conventional form such as aqueous or oily solutions or suspensions generally contained in ampoules, disposable syringes, glass or plastics vials or infusion containers.
In addition to the active ingredient, these solutions or suspensions can optionally also contain a sterile diluent such as water for injection, a physiological saline solution, oils, polyethylene glycols, glycerine, propylene glycol or other synthetic solvents, antibacterial agents such as benzyl alcohol, antioxidants such as ascorbic acid or sodium bisulphite, chelating agents such as ethylene diamine-tetra-acetic acid, buffers such as acetates, citrates or phosphates and agents for adjusting the osmolarity, such as sodium chloride or dextrose.
These pharmaceutical forms are prepared using methods which are routinely used by pharmacists.
The amount of active ingredient in the pharmaceutical compositions can fall within a wide range of concentrations and depends on a variety of factors such as the patient's sex, age, weight and medical condition, as well as on the method of administration. Thus the quantity of compound of formula I in compositions for oral administration is at least 0.5 % by weight and can be up to 80 % by weight with respect to the total weight of the composition.
For the preferred oral compositions, the daily dosage is in the range 0.01 to 1000 milligrams (mg) of compounds of formula I. In compositions for parenteral administration, the quantity of compound of formula I, present is at least 0.5 % by weight and can be up to 33 % by weight with respect to the total weight of the composition. For the preferred parenteral compositions, the dosage unit is in the range 0.01 mg to 1000 mg of compounds of formula I. The daily dose can fall within a wide range of dosage units of compound of formula
I is generally in the range 0.01 to 1000 mg. However, it should be understood that the specific doses could be adapted to particular cases depending on the individual requirements, at the physician's discretion.
The compounds of the invention may be co-administered with another therapeutic agent most likely from a different therapeutic area.
Co-administration in this context means the dosing either of components, which are formulated together as a single dosage form; or the administration of separately formulated agents at substantially the same time, or sequential dosing of a compound of the invention followed by a therapeutic agent of a different therapeutic area. In this context suitable examples of therapeutic agents may include, but are not limited to, histamine H-| antagonists such as cetirizine, histamine H2 antagonists, histamine H3 antagonists, leukotriene antagonists, PDE4 inhibitors such as roflumilast, muscarinic M3 antagonists, β2 agonists, theophylline, sodium cromoglycate, anti-TNF antibodies such as certolizumab pegol or adalimumab, anti-IL6 antibodies, anti-IL17 antibodies, adhesion molecule inhibitors , inhibitors of cytokine synthesis such as P38 MAP kinase inhibitors and inhibitors of PI3 kinase, methotrexate.
