Definitions

  • the present invention relates to amine derivatives, processes for their preparation, pharmaceutical compositions containing them and their use in therapy (for example their use in ⁇ 2 adrenoreceptor mediated disease states).
  • Adreneoceptors are a group of G-protein coupled receptors divided into two major sub- families, ⁇ and ⁇ . These sub-families are further divided into sub-types of which the ⁇ subfamily has at least 3 members: ⁇ l, ⁇ 2 and ⁇ 3. ⁇ 2 adrenoceptors (henceforth referred to as ⁇ 2 receptors) are mainly expressed on smooth muscle cells.
  • ⁇ 2 agonists act as functional antagonists to all bronchoconstrictor substances such as the naturally-occurring histamine and acetylcholine as well as the experimental substances methacholine and carbachol.
  • ⁇ 2 agonists are widely used to treat airways diseases including asthma and chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD), and this has been extensively reviewed in the literature and incorporated into national guidelines for the treatment of these diseases (British Guideline on the Management of Asthma, NICE guideline No. 12 on the Management of COPD).
  • ⁇ 2 agonists are classed either as short-acting or long-acting.
  • Short-acting ⁇ 2 agonists such as salbutamol have a duration of action of 2-4 hours. They are suitable for rescue medication during a period of acute bronchoconstriction but are not suitable for continuous medication because the beneficial effect of these drugs wears off during the night.
  • Long-acting ⁇ 2 agonists currently have a duration of action of about 12 hours and are administered twice daily to provide continuous bronchodilatation. They are particularly effective when administered in combination with inhaled corticosteroids. This benefit is not seen when inhaled corticosteroids are combined with SABAs (Kips and Pauwels, ⁇ (m. J. Respir.
  • LABAs are recommended as add-on therapy to patients already receiving inhaled corticosteroids for asthma to reduce nocturnal awakening and reduce the incidence of exacerbations of the disease. Corticosteroids and LABAs are conveniently co-administered in a single inhaler to improve patient compliance.
  • Salmeterol a commonly used LABA
  • Salmeterol also has a long onset of action which precludes its use as both a rescue and a maintenance therapy.
  • All current LABAs are administered twice daily and there is a medical need for once daily treatments to improve treatment and patient compliance. Such once daily compounds, co-administered with corticosteroids, will become the mainstay of asthma treatment (Barnes, Nature Reviews, 2004, 3_, 831-844).
  • Benzothiazolone derivatives having dual ⁇ 2 receptor and dopamine (D2) receptor agonist properties are known from WO 92/08708, WO 93/23385 and WO 97/10227.

Description

AMINE DERIVATIVES AND THEIR USE IN BETA-2-ADRENORECEPTOR
MEDIATED DISEASES
The present invention relates to amine derivatives, processes for their preparation, pharmaceutical compositions containing them and their use in therapy (for example their use in β2 adrenoreceptor mediated disease states).
Adreneoceptors are a group of G-protein coupled receptors divided into two major sub- families, α and β. These sub-families are further divided into sub-types of which the β subfamily has at least 3 members: βl, β2 and β3. β2 adrenoceptors (henceforth referred to as β2 receptors) are mainly expressed on smooth muscle cells.
Agonism of the β2 receptor on airway smooth muscle produces relaxation and therefore bronchodilatation. Through this mechanism, β2 agonists act as functional antagonists to all bronchoconstrictor substances such as the naturally-occurring histamine and acetylcholine as well as the experimental substances methacholine and carbachol. β2 agonists are widely used to treat airways diseases including asthma and chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD), and this has been extensively reviewed in the literature and incorporated into national guidelines for the treatment of these diseases (British Guideline on the Management of Asthma, NICE guideline No. 12 on the Management of COPD).
β2 agonists are classed either as short-acting or long-acting. Short-acting β2 agonists (SABAs) such as salbutamol have a duration of action of 2-4 hours. They are suitable for rescue medication during a period of acute bronchoconstriction but are not suitable for continuous medication because the beneficial effect of these drugs wears off during the night. Long-acting β2 agonists (LABAs) currently have a duration of action of about 12 hours and are administered twice daily to provide continuous bronchodilatation. They are particularly effective when administered in combination with inhaled corticosteroids. This benefit is not seen when inhaled corticosteroids are combined with SABAs (Kips and Pauwels,^(m. J. Respir. Crit. Care Med., 2001,164, 923-932). LABAs are recommended as add-on therapy to patients already receiving inhaled corticosteroids for asthma to reduce nocturnal awakening and reduce the incidence of exacerbations of the disease. Corticosteroids and LABAs are conveniently co-administered in a single inhaler to improve patient compliance.
There are shortcomings to existing LABAs and there is a need for a new drug in this class. Salmeterol, a commonly used LABA, has a narrow safety margin and side effects related to systemic agonism of β2 receptors (such as tremor, hypokalemia, tachycardia and hypertension) are common. Salmeterol also has a long onset of action which precludes its use as both a rescue and a maintenance therapy. All current LABAs are administered twice daily and there is a medical need for once daily treatments to improve treatment and patient compliance. Such once daily compounds, co-administered with corticosteroids, will become the mainstay of asthma treatment (Barnes, Nature Reviews, 2004, 3_, 831-844). The advantages of once-daily bronchodilator treatment in COPD has been demonstrated with tiotropium, a non-selective muscarinic antagonist (Koumis and Samuel, CHn. Ther. 2005, 27(4). 377-92). There is, however, a need for a once-daily LABA for the treatment of COPD to avoid the side effects of anti-muscarinics such as tiotropium.
Benzothiazolone derivatives having dual β2 receptor and dopamine (D2) receptor agonist properties are known from WO 92/08708, WO 93/23385 and WO 97/10227.
The present invention provides a compound of formula (I):

For example, compounds of formula (I) in which R represents a 3- to 12-membered ring system (e.g. piperidinyl) substituted by a Ci -6 alkoxycarbonyl substituent group may be converted to the corresponding compounds in which the ring system is unsubstituted by treating the former with, for example, trifluoroacetic acid or anhydrous hydrogen chloride, in an organic solvent such as dichloromethane or 1,4-dioxane at a temperature, for example, in the range from 15 to 3O0C.
The invention further provides a process for the preparation of a compound of formula (XX) (as a salt):
Figure imgf000037_0001
the process comprising reducing a compound of formula (XXI):
Figure imgf000037_0002
with hydrogen in the presence of a suitable palladium catalyst (such as palladium on carbon) in a aqueous medium and in the presence of a suitable strong acid (such as hydrochloric acid. The process is advantageous because it allows the compound of formula (XX) to be prepared by reduction of three groups (azide, ketone and deprotection) of the compound of formula (XXI) in one-pot. The preparation of a compound of formula (XXI) is presented in Route A.
Routes B, C, D and E all show the preparation of compounds of formula (I) wherein R2, R3, R4 and R5 are all hydrogen, k is 0, m is 1, A is C(O), and E is CH2CH2. The routes can be adapted using literature methods to obtain compounds of formula (I) wherein these variables are other than the values just recited. In Routes B and C the variable D is NH, in Route D the variable D is NH or O, while in Route E the variable D is O. In these Routes NMP is N-methyl-2-pyrrolidinone, PG is a Protecting Group, and LG is a Leaving Group.
Route D begins with the preparation of an amide compound:
Figure imgf000038_0001
and this compound utilises an alkenyl group both as a protecting group and as a synthon later in the process. There is no literature precedent for such an intermediate and so in another aspect the present invention provides an intermediate of formula (XXII):
Figure imgf000038_0002
wherein R6 is as defined above; and alkyl is, for example, C1-10 alkyl.
It can be seen that the process at the beginning of Route D can be adapted in the following way:
Figure imgf000038_0003
and so in a further aspect the present invention provides a compound of formula (XXIII):
Figure imgf000039_0001
wherein R6 is as defined above; R70 is C1-6 alkyl; and alkyl is, for example, C1-10 alkyl.
It will be appreciated by those skilled in the art that in the processes of the present invention certain functional groups such as hydroxyl or amino groups in the reagents may need to be protected by protecting groups. Thus, the preparation of the compounds of formula (I) may involve, at an appropriate stage, the removal of one or more protecting groups.
The protection and deprotection of functional groups is described in 'Protective Groups in Organic Chemistry', edited by J.W.F. McOmie, Plenum Press (1973) and 'Protective Groups in Organic Synthesis', 3rd edition, T. W. Greene and P.G.M. Wuts, Wiley- Interscience ( 1999) .
The compounds of formula (I) above may be converted to a pharmaceutically acceptable salt thereof, for example as described above, such as an acid addition salt which is a hydrochloride, hydrobromide, trifluoroacetate, sulphate, phosphate, acetate, fumarate, maleate, tartrate, lactate, citrate, pyruvate, succinate, oxalate, methanesulphonate orp- toluenesulphonate.
Compounds of formula (I) are capable of existing in stereoisomeric forms. It will be understood that the invention encompasses the use of all geometric and optical isomers (including atropisomers) of the compounds of formula (I) and mixtures thereof including racemates. The use of tautomers and mixtures thereof also form an aspect of the present invention. Enantiomerically pure forms are particularly desired. When in solid crystalline form a compound of formula (I) can be in the form of a co-crystal with another chemical entity and the invention encompasses all such co-crystals.

Thus, the present invention provides a compound of formula (I) or a pharmaceutically- acceptable salt thereof as hereinbefore defined for use in therapy.
In a further aspect, the present invention provides the use of a compound of formula (I) or a pharmaceutically acceptable salt thereof as hereinbefore defined in the manufacture of a medicament for use in therapy.
In the context of the present specification, the term "therapy" also includes "prophylaxis" unless there are specific indications to the contrary. The terms "therapeutic" and "therapeutically" should be construed accordingly.
Prophylaxis is expected to be particularly relevant to the treatment of persons who have suffered a previous episode of, or are otherwise considered to be at increased risk of, the disease or condition in question. Persons at risk of developing a particular disease or condition generally include those having a family history of the disease or condition, or those who have been identified by genetic testing or screening to be particularly susceptible to developing the disease or condition.
The invention still further provides a method of treating, or reducing the risk of, an inflammatory disease or condition (including a reversible obstructive airways disease or condition) which comprises administering to a patient in need thereof a therapeutically effective amount of a compound of formula (I) or a pharmaceutically acceptable salt thereof as hereinbefore defined.
In particular, the compounds of this invention may be used in the treatment of adult respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS), pulmonary emphysema, bronchitis, bronchiectasis, chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD)5 asthma and rhinitis. For the above-mentioned therapeutic uses the dosage administered will, of course, vary with the compound employed, the mode of administration, the treatment desired and the disorder indicated. For example, the daily dosage of the compound of the invention, if inhaled, may be in the range from 0.05 micrograms per kilogram body weight (μg/kg) to 100 micrograms per kilogram body weight (μg/kg). Alternatively, if the compound is administered orally, then the daily dosage of the compound of the invention may be in the range from 0.01 micrograms per kilogram body weight (μg/kg) to 100 milligrams per kilogram body weight (mg/kg).
The compounds of formula (I) and pharmaceutically acceptable salts thereof may be used on their own but will generally be administered in the form of a pharmaceutical composition in which the formula (I) compound/salt (active ingredient) is in association with a pharmaceutically acceptable adjuvant, diluent or carrier. Conventional procedures for the selection and preparation of suitable pharmaceutical formulations are described in, for example, "Pharmaceuticals - The Science of Dosage Form Designs", M. E. Aulton, Churchill Livingstone, 1988.
Depending on the mode of administration, the pharmaceutical composition will preferably comprise from 0.05 to 99 %w (per cent by weight), more preferably from 0.05 to 80 %w, still more preferably from 0.10 to 70 %w, and even more preferably from 0.10 to 50 %w, of active ingredient, all percentages by weight being based on total composition.
The present invention also provides a pharmaceutical composition comprising a compound of formula (I) or a pharmaceutically acceptable salt thereof as hereinbefore defined, in association with a pharmaceutically acceptable adjuvant, diluent or carrier.
The invention further provides a process for the preparation of a pharmaceutical composition of the invention which comprises mixing a compound of formula (I) or a pharmaceutically acceptable salt thereof as hereinbefore defined with a pharmaceutically acceptable adjuvant, diluent or carrier. The pharmaceutical compositions may be administered topically (e.g. to the skin or to the lung and/or airways) in the form, e.g., of creams, solutions, suspensions, heptafluoroalkane (HFA) aerosols and dry powder formulations, for example, formulations in the inhaler device known as the Turbuhaler®; or systemically, e.g. by oral administration in the form of tablets, capsules, syrups, powders or granules; or by parenteral administration in the form of solutions or suspensions; or by subcutaneous administration; or by rectal administration in the form of suppositories; or transdermally.
Dry powder formulations and pressurized HFA aerosols of the compounds of the invention may be administered by oral or nasal inhalation. For inhalation, the compound is desirably finely divided. The finely divided compound preferably has a mass median diameter of less than 10 μm, and may be suspended in a propellant mixture with the assistance of a dispersant, such as a C8-C20 fatty acid or salt thereof, (for example, oleic acid), a bile salt, a phospholipid, an alkyl saccharide, a perfluorinated or polyethoxylated surfactant, or other pharmaceutically acceptable dispersant.
The compounds of the invention may also be administered by means of a dry powder inhaler. The inhaler may be a single or a multi dose inhaler, and may be a breath actuated dry powder inhaler.
One possibility is to mix the finely divided compound of the invention with a carrier substance, for example, a mono-, di- or polysaccharide, a sugar alcohol, or another polyol. Suitable carriers are sugars, for example, lactose, glucose, raffinose, melezitose, lactitol, maltitol, trehalose, sucrose, mannitol; and starch. Alternatively the finely divided compound may be coated by another substance. The powder mixture may also be dispensed into hard gelatine capsules, each containing the desired dose of the active compound.
Another possibility is to process the finely divided powder into spheres which break up during the inhalation procedure. This spheronized powder may be filled into the drug reservoir of a multidose inhaler, for example, that known as the Turbuhaler® in which a dosing unit meters the desired dose which is then inhaled by the patient. With this system the active ingredient, with or without a carrier substance, is delivered to the patient.
For oral administration the compound of the invention may be admixed with an adjuvant or a carrier, for example, lactose, saccharose, sorbitol, mannitol; a starch, for example, potato starch, corn starch or amylopectin; a cellulose derivative; a binder, for example, gelatine or polyvinylpyrrolidone; and/or a lubricant, for example, magnesium stearate, calcium stearate, polyethylene glycol, a wax, paraffin, and the like, and then compressed into tablets. If coated tablets are required, the cores, prepared as described above, may be coated with a concentrated sugar solution which may contain, for example, gum arabic, gelatine, talcum and titanium dioxide. Alternatively, the tablet may be coated with a suitable polymer dissolved in a readily volatile organic solvent.
For the preparation of soft gelatine capsules, the compound of the invention may be admixed with, for example, a vegetable oil or polyethylene glycol. Hard gelatine capsules may contain granules of the compound using either the above-mentioned excipients for tablets. Also liquid or semisolid formulations of the compound of the invention may be filled into hard gelatine capsules.
Liquid preparations for oral application may be in the form of syrups or suspensions, for example, solutions containing the compound of the invention, the balance being sugar and a mixture of ethanol, water, glycerol and propylene glycol. Optionally such liquid preparations may contain colouring agents, flavouring agents, saccharine and/or carboxymethylcellulose as a thickening agent or other excipients known to those skilled in art.
The compounds of the invention may also be administered in conjunction with other compounds used for the treatment of the above conditions.
The invention therefore further relates to combination therapies wherein a compound of the invention, or a pharmaceutically acceptable salt thereof, or a pharmaceutical composition or formulation comprising a compound of the invention, is administered concurrently or sequentially or as a combined preparation with another therapeutic agent or agents, for the treatment of one or more of the conditions listed.

Adrenergic β2 mediated cAMP production
Cell preparation
H292 cells were grown in 225cm2 flasks incubator at 37°C, 5% CO2 in RPMI medium0 containing, 10% (v/v) FBS (foetal bovine serum) and 2 niM L-glutamine.
Experimental Method
Adherent H292 cells were removed from tissue culture flasks by treatment with Accutase™ cell detachment solution for 15 minutes. Flasks were incubated for 15 minutes5 in a humidified incubator at 37°C, 5% CO2. Detached cells were re-suspended in RPMI media (containing 10% (v/v) FBS and 2 mJVl L-glutamine) at 1 x 106 cells per mL. 10000 cells in 100 μL were added to each well of a tissue-culture- treated 96-well plate and the cells incubated overnight in a humidified incubator at 37°C, 5% CO2. The culture media was removed and cells were washed twice with 100 μL assay buffer and replaced with 50 μL assay buffer (HBSS solution containing 1OmM HEPES pH7.4 and 5 niM glucose). Cells were rested at room temperature for 20 minutes after which time 25 μL of rolipram (1.2 mM made up in assay buffer containing 2.4% (v/v) dimethylsulphoxide) was added. Cells were incubated with rolipram for 10 minutes after which time test compounds were added and the cells were incubated for 60 minutes at room temperature. The final rolipram concentration in the assay was 300 μM and final vehicle concentration was 1.6% (v/v) dimethylsulphoxide. The reaction was stopped by removing supernatants, washing once with 100 μL assay buffer and replacing with 50 μL lysis buffer. The cell monolayer was frozen at -800C for 30 minutes (or overnight).
AlphaScreen™ cAMP detection
The concentration of cAMP (cyclic adenosine monophosphate) in the cell lysate was determined using AlphaScreen™ methodology. The frozen cell plate was thawed for 20 minutes on a plate shaker then 10 μL of the cell lysate was transferred to a 96-well white plate. 40 μL of mixed AlphaScreen™ detection beads pre-incubated with biotinylated c AMP, was added to each well and the plate incubated at room temperature for 10 hours in the dark. The AlphaScreen™ signal was measured using an En Vision spectrophotometer (Perkin-Elmer Inc.) with the recommended manufacturer's settings. cAMP concentrations were determined by reference to a calibration curve determined in the same experiment using standard cAMP concentrations. Concentration response curves for agonists were constructed and data was fitted to a four parameter logistic equation to determine both the PEC50 and Intrinsic Activity. Intrinsic Activity was expressed as a fraction relative to the maximum activity determined for formoterol in each experiment. Results for compounds of the invention are to be found in Table 1.
Selectivity Assays
Adrenergic αlD Membrane Preparation
Membranes were prepared from human embryonic kidney 293 (HEK293) cells expressing recombinant human αlp receptor. These were diluted in Assay Buffer (5OmM HEPES, ImM EDTA, pH 7.4) to provide a final concentration of membranes that gave a clear window between maximum and minimum specific binding.
Experimental Method
Assays were performed in U-bottomed 96-well polypropylene plates. 10 μL [3H]-prazosin
(0.3 nM final concentration) and 10 μL of test compound (10x final concentration) were added to each test well. For each assay plate 8 replicates were obtained for [3H] -prazosin binding in the presence of 10 μL vehicle (10% (v/v) DMSO in Assay Buffer; defining maximum binding) or lOμL BMY7378 (10 μM final concentration; defining non-specific binding (NSB)). Membranes were then added to achieve a final volume of 100 μL. The plates were incubated for 2 hours at room temperature and then filtered onto PEI coated GF/B filter plates, pre-soaked for 1 hour in Assay Buffer, using a 96-well plate Tomtec cell harvester. Five washes with 250 μL wash buffer (5OmM HEPES, ImM EDTA, pH 7.4) were performed at 4°C to remove unbound radioactivity. The plates were dried then sealed from underneath using Packard plate sealers and MicroScint-0 (50 μL) was added to each well. The plates were sealed (TopSeal A) and filter-bound radioactivity was measured with a scintillation counter (TopCount, Packard BioScience) using a 3-minute counting protocol.
Total specific binding (B0) was determined by subtracting the mean NSB from the mean maximum binding. NSB values were also subtracted from values from all other wells. These data were expressed as percent of Bo. Compound concentration-effect curves
(inhibition of [3H]-prazosin binding) were determined using serial dilutions typically in the range 0.1 nM to 10 μM. Data was fitted to a four parameter logistic equation to determine the compound potency, which was expressed as pIC50 (negative log molar concentration inducing 50% inhibition of [3H]-prazosin binding). Results are shown in Table 1 below. Adrenergic βl
Membrane Preparation
Membranes containing recombinant human adrenergic beta 1 receptors were obtained from Euroscreen. These were diluted in Assay Buffer (5OmM HEPES, ImM EDTA, 12OmM NaCl, 0.1% gelatin, pH 7.4) to provide a final concentration of membranes that gave a clear window between maximum and minimum specific binding.
Experimental Method Assays were performed in U-bottomed 96-well polypropylene plates. 10 μL [125I]-
Iodocyanopindolol (0.036 nM final concentration) and 10 μL of test compound (10x final concentration) were added to each test well. For each assay plate 8 replicates were obtained for [125I]-Iodocyanopindolol binding in the presence of 10 μL vehicle (10% (v/v) DMSO in Assay Buffer; defining maximum binding) or 10 μL Propranolol (10 μM final concentration; defining non-specific binding (NSB)). Membranes were then added to achieve a final volume of 100 μL. The plates were incubated for 2 hours at room temperature and then filtered onto PEI coated GF/B filter plates, pre-soaked for 1 hour in Assay Buffer, using a 96-well plate Tomtec cell harvester. Five washes with 250 μL wash buffer (5OmM HEPES, ImM EDTA, 12OmM NaCl, pH 7.4) were performed at 4°C to remove unbound radioactivity. The plates were dried then sealed from underneath using Packard plate sealers and MicroScint-0 (50 μL) was added to each well. The plates were sealed (TopSeal A) and filter-bound radioactivity was measured with a scintillation counter (TopCount, Packard BioScience) using a 3-minute counting protocol.
Total specific binding (Bo) was determined by subtracting the mean NSB from the mean maximum binding. NSB values were also subtracted from values from all other wells. These data were expressed as percent OfB0. Compound concentration-effect curves (inhibition of [125I]-Iodocyanopindolol binding) were determined using serial dilutions typically in the range 0.1 nM to 10 μM. Data was fitted to a four parameter logistic equation to determine the compound potency, which was expressed as pICso (negative log molar concentration inducing 50% inhibition of [125I]-Iodocyanopindolol binding). Results are shown in Table 1 below.
Dopamine D2
Membrane Preparation
Membranes containing recombinant human Dopamine Subtype D2s receptors were obtained from Perkin Elmer. These were diluted in Assay Buffer (5OmM HEPES, ImM EDTA, 12OmM NaCl, 0.1% gelatin, pH 7.4) to provide a final concentration of membranes that gave a clear window between maximum and minimum specific binding.
Experimental Method
Assays were performed in U-bottomed 96-well polypropylene plates. 30 μL [3H]- spiperone (0.16 nM final concentration) and 30 μL of test compound (10x final concentration) were added to each test well. For each assay plate 8 replicates were obtained for [3H]-spiperone binding in the presence of 30 μL vehicle (10% (v/v) DMSO in Assay Buffer; defining maximum binding) or 30 μL Haloperidol (10 μM final concentration; defining non-specific binding (NSB)). Membranes were then added to achieve a final volume of 300 μL. The plates were incubated for 2 hours at room temperature and then filtered onto PEI coated GF/B filter plates, pre-soaked for 1 hour in Assay Buffer, using a 96-well plate Tomtec cell harvester. Five washes with 250 μL wash buffer (5OmM HEPES, ImM EDTA, 12OmM NaCl5 pH 7.4) were performed at 40C to remove unbound radioactivity. The plates were dried then sealed from underneath using Packard plate sealers and MicroScint-0 (50 μL) was added to each well. The plates were sealed (TopSeal A) and filter-bound radioactivity was measured with a scintillation counter (TopCount, Packard BioScience) using a 3 -minute counting protocol.
Total specific binding (B0) was determined by subtracting the mean NSB from the mean maximum binding. NSB values were also subtracted from values from all other wells. These data were expressed as percent of Bo. Compound concentration-effect curves
(inhibition of [3H]-spiperone binding) were determined using serial dilutions typically in the range 0.1 nM to 10 μM. Data was fitted to a four parameter logistic equation to determine the compound potency, which was expressed as pICso (negative log molar concentration inducing 50% inhibition of [3H]-spiperone binding).

Onset Assay Dunkin-Hartley guinea-pigs (between 200 g and 300 g on delivery) were supplied by a designated breeding establishment. The guinea-pigs were killed by cervical-dislocation and the trachea removed. The adherent connective tissue was removed and each trachea cut into four rings. The tissue rings were then attached to an isometric transducer. The tissues were washed and a force of 1 g was applied to each ring. In all experiments a paired curve design was used. A priming dose of 1 μM methacholine was applied to the tissues. The tissues were then washed (three times, one minute between washes), the resting tension of Ig was reapplied and the tissues were allowed to rest for 1 hour to equilibrate. Tissues were then contracted with 1 μM methacholine and once a steady response was obtained a cumulative concentration response curve to isoprenaline (10"9 M - 10"5 M) was constructed. The tissues were then washed (three times, one minute between washes) and left to rest for an hour. At the end of the resting period the tissues were contracted with 1 μM methacholine and a p [A]50 concentration of test compound added. Once the tissue had reached maximum relaxation, a 30 x p[A]5o concentration of test compound was added. Once the tissue response had reached a plateau, 30 μM sotalol was added to the bath to confirm that the relaxation was β2 mediated
Data were collected using the ADInstruments chart5 for windows software, which measured the maximum tension generated at each concentration of agonist.
For each concentration of the isoprenaline cumulative concentration curve, the response was calculated as % relaxation of the methacholine-induced contraction. A curve was plotted of log I0 [agonist] (M) versus percentage inhibition of the methacholine-induced contraction. These data were then fitted to a non-linear regression curve fit. For each experiment, E/[A] curve data were fitted using a 4-parameter logistic function of the form:
Figure imgf000150_0001
E and [A] are the pharmacological effect (% relaxation) and concentration of the agonist respectively; a, β, [A]50 and m are the asymptote, baseline, location and slope parameters, W
150
respectively. The p[A]50 and IA of each isoprenaline curve was determined from this fit, to determine if the tissue was viable for generating an onset time for the test compounds.
For each P[A]50 concentration of the test compound, the response was calculated as % relaxation of the methacholine-induced contraction. The results were plotted % relaxation against time and the time taken to reach a 90% relaxation value was calculated and recorded.
The addition of a 30 x p [A]50 concentration enabled determination of the maximum compound effect within the individual tissue. Hence, the % of the maximum compound effect at the p[A]5o concentration was calculated and recorded.
Pharmacokinetics in the Rat
A dose solution of the test compound was prepared using a suitable dose vehicle. The concentration of the compound in the dose solution was assayed by diluting an aliquot to a nominal concentration of SOμg-ml"1 and calibrating against duplicate injections of a standard solution and a QC standard at this concentration. Compounds were administered intravenously as a bolus into a caudal vein to groups of three 250-35Og rats (approximately 1 ml -kg"1). For the oral dose, a separate group of 2 or 3 animals were dosed by oral gavage (3 ml-kg"1). Delivered doses were estimated by weight loss. Food was not usually withdrawn from animals prior to dosing, although this effect was investigated if necessary.
Blood samples (0.25ml) were taken into ImI syringes from the caudal vein, transferred to EDTA tubes and plasma was prepared by centrifugation (5 min at 13000rpm) soon after sample collection, before storage at -2O0C. Typical sampling times were 2, 4, 8, 15, 30, 60, 120, 180, 240, 300 (min) or until the terminal tl/2 was accurately described.
The concentration of the analyte(s) were determined in plasma by quantitative mass spectrometry. Standard and quality control stock solutions were prepared at a concentration lmg/ml in methanol. A range of standard and QC stocks produced by serial dilution were added to control rat plasma (50μl). The range of concentrations covered the range of levels of analyte present in the rat samples. Standards, QCs and samples underwent liquid extraction using 50μl of organic solvent and lOOμl of organic solvent containing an internal standard, chosen to closely resemble the analyte. The samples were then mixed by repeated inversion, stored at -2O0C for at least 1 h, and centrifuged at 3500 rpm in a centrifuge for 20 minutes. Aliquots (120 μl) of each sample were transferred for analysis using LC-MSMS. Standard and quality control samples covering the range of concentrations found in the test samples were within 25 % of the nominal concentration.
Pharmacokinetic data analysis was achieved using WinNonlin. A standard non- compartmental analysis was used to estimate the parameters such as Tmax, Cmax, Lambda_z, tl/2_Lambda_z, AUCaIl, AUCINF(observed), Cl(observed), Vss(observed).
