Definitions

  • the present invention relates to a novel carbamate stereoisomer, to a process for preparing the carbamate stereoisomer, to a pharmaceutical composition comprising the carbamate stereoisomer and to the use of the carbamate stereoisomer in therapy, in particular in the treatment of bronchoconstriction associated with reversible obstructive airways diseases including but not limited to asthma, cystic fibrosis and chronic obstructive pulmonary disease, including chronic bronchitis and emphysema.
  • reversible obstructive airways diseases including but not limited to asthma, cystic fibrosis and chronic obstructive pulmonary disease, including chronic bronchitis and emphysema.
  • Patients suffering from bronchoconstriction associated with reversible obstructive airways diseases are generally treated using a bronchodilator, to relax the bronchial smooth muscle.
  • Bronchodilators in use today generally fall into two classes, the ⁇ 2 -selective adrenoceptor agonists, such as albuterol (salbutamol), salmeterol and formoterol, and the muscarinic receptor antagonists, such as ipratropium and tiatropium.
  • the ⁇ 2 -selective adrenoceptor agonists such as albuterol (salbutamol), salmeterol and formoterol
  • muscarinic receptor antagonists such as ipratropium and tiatropium.
  • ⁇ 2-Selective adrenoceptor agonists may cause adverse effects, and these may in part be due to activation of the ⁇ i -adrenoceptor.
  • the selectivity of an agonist for the ⁇ 2 - adrenoceptor receptor is therefore very important, because it limits the dose that can be given and so affects the magnitude of bronchodilations and the frequency of dosing.
  • a long duration of action is important to patients, not only to minimize the time spent taking the drug, but also to avoid having to take the drug during inconvenient times, for example at work, school or during the night.
  • Formoterol has a particular advantage that it also has a fast onset of action.
  • formoterol is extremely potent, which makes it very difficult to formulate, especially for administration using a metered dose inhaler in a manner that results in uniform drug delivery via aerosol dose after dose (i.e., dose content uniformity).
  • it is unstable in aqueous solution, which means that solutions for administration using a nebuliser have to be kept refrigerated for a majority of their post-manufacture shelf life.
  • Formoterol is one of a group of ⁇ -aminomethylbenzyl alcohol derivatives for which patent applications were filed during the early nineteen seventies, for example US 3,994,974.
  • the invention of this compound built on earlier work by others, such as described in US 3,657,319 (equivalent to BE 765,986, cited in US 3,994,974). Perhaps because of the difficulties associated with formulating the compound, it took a long time to be commercialized.
  • the compound contains two chiral centers, and hence is capable of existing and being isolated in four stereoisomeric forms.
  • the compound was firstly commercialized as a racemic mixture of the active (R,R)- and inactive (S, S)- isomers, in a dry powder formulation, then more recently as the active (R,R)-isomer in a nebuliser solution. It is also known, for example from US 6,303,145, that the (S,R) isomer of formoterol is active. However, like the (R,R)-isomer, this compound is unstable at ambient temperature in aqueous solution and hence nebuliser solutions would need to be stored refrigerated.
  • the present invention provides a compound of formula (I)
  • the compound of formula (I) may also be referred to by the chemical name methyl [2-hydroxy-5-[(lS)-l-hydroxy-2-[[(lR)-2-(4-hydroxyphenyl)-l-methylethyl]amino]ethyl]- phenyl] carbamate, which is indexed in Chemical Abstracts as carbamic acid, [2-hydroxy-5- [(lS)-l-hydroxy-2-[[(lR)-2-(4-hydroxyphenyl)-l-methylethyl]amino]ethyl]-phenyl]-, methyl ester.
  • the isomer of formula (I) has been found to possess particularly advantageous properties. In particular, it possesses good, but not very high affinity for the ⁇ 2-adrenoceptor, high selectivity for the ⁇ 2- over the ⁇ l- adrenoceptor, a long duration of action and good stability in aqueous solution at ambient temperature.
  • the figure shows the effects of methyl [2-hydroxy-5-[(l S)-I -hydroxy-2-[[(lR)-2- (4-hydroxyphenyl)-l-methylethyl]amino]ethyl]-phenyl] carbamate on acetylcholine effects on airway resistance.
  • the compound provided by the present invention is an isomer.
  • This isomer may exist and be isolated in enantiomerically pure form, or in admixture with one or more of its other isomers.
  • the present invention provides the isomer in any mixture of isomers other than a racemic mixture, which is described in Example 6 of US 3,657,319.
  • the isomer is substantially free of the (R 5 R)- enantiomer, which can exhibit a different potency, resulting in significant variations in the potency of admixtures. It may exist as a 1:1 diastereomeric mixture with the (R,S)-isomer, but is most preferably enantiomerically pure (i.e.
  • the isomer may comprise at least 50% by weight of all carbamic acid, [2-hydroxy-5-[l- hydroxy-2-[[(2-(4-hydroxyphenyl)-l-methylethyl]amino]ethyl]phenyl]-, methyl ester present, preferably at least 75%, such as at least 90%, at least 95% or at least 99%.

  • salts of other relatively non-toxic compounds that possess acidic character including amino acids, such as arginine and the like, and other compounds, such as aspirin, ibuprofen, saccharin, and the like.
  • Acid addition salts can be obtained by contacting the neutral form of such compounds with a sufficient amount of the desired acid, either neat or in a suitable inert solvent. As solids, salts can exist in crystalline or amorphous modifications.
  • An example of an acid addition salt is the D-tartrate salt.
  • the compounds of the present invention may also be prepared in deuterated form, i.e., in which one or more hydrogen atoms, for example on the methoxycarbonyl group, are replaced with deuterium.
  • the methyl group in the methoxycarbonyl group in the compound of formula (I) may be replaced with a fluoromethyl group (i.e. a group in which one, two or three of the methyl hydrogen atoms is replaced with a fluorine atom).
  • a fluoromethyl group i.e. a group in which one, two or three of the methyl hydrogen atoms is replaced with a fluorine atom.
  • Such compounds may be prepared by a process analogous to that described herein for the preparation of the carbamate isomer.
  • the carbamate isomer and its pharmaceutically acceptable salts can be prepared by a process, which comprises reacting a compound of general formula (II)
  • the protecting groups may be any suitable protecting group, for example as described in Green et al, "Protective Groups in Organic Chemistry," (Wiley, 2 nd ed. 1991).
  • hydroxyl protecting groups include aralkyl groups, such as benzyl, and trialkylsilyl groups, such as t-butyl-dimethylsilyl (TBDMS).
  • benzylic amine protecting group examples include benzyl groups optionally substituted on the benzene ring by one or more, for example 1, 2 or 3 optional substituents, for example selected from halo, (1-4C) alkyl and (l-4C)alkoxy; for example unsubstituted benzyl.
  • reaction between the compounds of formula (II) and (III) is conveniently performed by melting the two compounds together, for example by heating in the range of from 50 to 130 0 C, such as about 75 0 C.
  • Any protecting groups represented by P 1 , P 2 and P 3 may be removed using a conventional procedure.
  • a benzyl group can be removed by catalytic hydrogenation in the presence of palladium on carbon, and a trialkylsilyl group by treatment with tetrabutylammonium fluoride.
  • Z represents a leaving atom or group, such as a bromine atom, with a base, for example an alkali metal carbonate such as potassium carbonate.
  • the hydroxyl group may then be protected, for example by reaction with a trialkylsilyl halide, such as t-butyldimethylsilyl chloride.
