Description

DESCRIPTION
AROMA IC RING COMPOUND
Technical Field
[0001]
The present invention relates to a compound having a ghrelin O-acyltransferase (in the present specification, sometimes to be abbreviated as GOAT) inhibitory activity, which is useful for the prophylaxis or treatment of obesity, diabetes, hyperlipidemia, metabolic syndrome, non-alcoholic fatty liver, steatohepatitis, sarcopenia, appetite control, alcohol/narcotic dependence, Alzheimer's disease, Parkinson's disease,
cerebrovascular dementia, cerebral apoplexy, cerebral
infarction, cardiac disease, some kind of tumors (e.g.,
prostate cancer, breast cancer etc.) and the like.
[0002]
[Background of the Invention]
Ghrelin is a physiologically active substance consisting of 28 amino acids, and is mainly produced in the stomach.
Ghrelin includes active type (acyl form) and inactive type
(des-acyl form) , and the active type is produced by the
addition, by GOAT, of fatty acid to the serine residue at the 3-position of ghrelin [non-patent document 1] . The fatty acid to be added to ghrelin by GOAT includes octanoic acid,
decanoylic acid and the like. The target of the active type ghrelin is mainly a growth hormone secretagogue receptor (GHSR) in the stomach, and the activation of signal causes promoted food ingestion and low energy consumption. Therefore, GOAT plays a key role in the control of food ingestion and energy metabolism.
[0003]
The decrease of active type ghrelin due to the inhibition of GOAT leads to a promoted energy consumption [non-patent document 2] and promoted utilization of lipid as an energy source thereof. Promotion of such systemically lipid
utilization brings about lower fat content of adipose tissues, and further, decreased weight of adipose tissues [non-patent document 3] . That is, since a GOAT inhibitor acts on an
environment, which permits increase of obesity formation factors such as excess fat ingestion, in the direction toward suppression thereof, it can be used as an antiobesity drug for the treatment of obesity. Furthermore, since ghrelin increases along with a weight loss therapy of obese patients, a GOAT inhibitor provides a further antiobesity effect as a medicament that decreases ghrelin [non-patent document 4]. In addition, promoted utilization of lipid is also expected to improve lipid abnormality. Moreover, since it may also have a sugar
metabolism improving effect [non-patent document 5], a GOAT inhibitor is expected to be effective for the prophylaxis or suppression of metabolic disorders including metabolic syndrome.
[0004]
GOAT inhibition increases des-acyl ghrelin in the
inactive type. This has also been confirmed in genetically- altered animals wherein GOAT has been knocked out [non-patent document 6] . Since des-acyl ghrelin suppresses activation of microglia by β-amyloid, it is expected to be a therapeutic drug for Alzheimer's disease [non-patent document 7]. Furthermore, since des-acyl ghrelin suppresses nerve cell death due to low oxygen and low glucose, it is expected to be a therapeutic drug for ischemic cerebral dysfunctions such as cerebrovascular dementia, cerebral apoplexy, cerebral infarction and the like and neurodegenerative diseases such as Parkinson's disease and the like [non-patent document 8]. In addition, a heart
protecting action including suppression of ischemic cardiac diseases and cardiac hypertrophy is also expected [non-patent document 9] . Therefore, the compound of the present invention has a potential of a therapeutic drug for a metabolic disease with a heart protecting action.
[0005]
Ghrelin is also involved in the preference control
mechanism, and activates consumption of rewarding substances (alcohol, sweetener, narcotic etc.) [non-patent document 10]. Therefore, decrease of ghrelin by inhibition of GOAT is an effective treatment method of alcohol dependence [non-patent document 11], stimulant dependence or narcotic dependence [non- patent document 12] .
[0006]
It has been reported that ghrelin and a receptor thereof are expressed in proliferative tumors such as prostate cancer and breast cancer [non-patent document 13] . An antitumor effect may be exhibited by controlling ghrelin in charge of cell proliferation signals.- [0007]
Accordingly, a compound having a GOAT inhibitory activity is extremely useful for the prophylaxis or treatment of
metabolic diseases (e.g., obesity, metabolic syndrome, diabetes etc.); the treatment of cardiovascular diseases (e.g.,
hypertension [non-patent document 14], cardiac failure etc.); and the treatment of neurodegenerative diseases (e.g.,
Alzheimer's disease, Parkinson's disease etc.), ischemic cerebral dysfunctions (e.g., cerebrovascular dementia, cerebral apoplexy, cerebral infarction etc.), alcohol/stimulant
dependence, narcotic dependence, proliferative tumors including' prostate cancer and breast cancer.

For diagnostic criteria of diabetes, Japan Diabetes
Society reported new diagnostic criteria in 1999.
[0184]
According to this report, diabetes is a condition showing any of a fasting blood glucose level (glucose concentration of intravenous plasma) of not less than 126 mg/dl, a 75 g oral glucose tolerance test (75 g OGTT) 2 hr level (glucose
concentration of intravenous plasma) of not less than 200 mg/dl, and a non-fasting blood glucose level (glucose concentration of intravenous plasma) of not less than 200 mg/dl. A condition not falling under the above-mentioned diabetes and different from "a condition showing a fasting blood glucose level
(glucose concentration of intravenous plasma) of less than 110 mg/dl or a 75 g oral glucose tolerance test, (75 g OGTT) 2 hr level (glucose concentration of intravenous plasma) of less than 140 mg/dl" (normal type) is called a "borderline type".
[0185]
In addition, ADA (American Diabetes Association) in 1997 and WHO (World Health Organization) in 1998 reported new
diagnostic criteria of diabetes.
[0186]
According to these reports, diabetes is a condition showing a fasting blood glucose level (glucose concentration of intravenous plasma) of not less than 126 mg/dl and a 75 g oral glucose tolerance test 2 hr level (glucose concentration of intravenous plasma) of not less than 200 mg/dl.
[0187]
According to the above-mentioned reports, impaired
glucose tolerance is a condition showing fasting blood sugar level (glucose concentration of intravenous plasma) of less than 126 mg/dl and a 75 g oral glucose tolerance test 2 hr level (glucose concentration of intravenous plasma) of not less than 140 mg/dl and less than 200 mg/dl. According to the report of ADA, a condition showing a fasting blood glucose level (glucose concentration of intravenous plasma) of not less than 110 mg/dl and less than 126 mg/dl is called IFG '(Impaired Fasting Glucose) . According to the report of WHO, among the IFG (Impaired Fasting Glucose) , a condition showing a 75g oral glucose tolerance test 2 hr level (glucose concentration of intravenous plasma) of less than 140 mg/dl is called IFG (Impaired Fasting Glycemia) .
[0188]
The compound of the present invention can be also used as an agent for the prophylaxis or treatment of diabetes,
borderline type, impaired glucose tolerance, IFG (Impaired Fasting Glucose) and IFG (Impaired Fasting Glycemia) , as determined according to the above-mentioned new diagnostic criteria. Moreover, the compound of the present invention can prevent progress of borderline type, impaired glucose tolerance, IFG (Impaired Fasting Glucose) or IFG (Impaired Fasting
Glycemia) into diabetes.

Since the compound of the present invention has a body weight-lowering action, it can be used as a body weight- lowering agent to mammals. Target mammals may be any mammals of which body weight is to be lowered. The mammals may have a risk of body weight gain genetically or may be suffering from
lifestyle-related diseases such as diabetes, hypertension and/or hyperlipidemia and the like. The body weight gain may be caused by excessive feeding or diet without nutrient balance, or may be derived from concomitant drug (e.g., agents for enhancing
insulin sensitivity having PPARy-agonistic activity such as troglitazone, rosiglitazone, englitazone, ciglitazone,
pioglitazone and the like) . In addition, body weight gain may be preliminary to obesity, or may be body weight gain of obesity patients. Here, obesity is defined that BMI (body mass index;
body weight (kg) /[height (m)]2) is not less than 25 for Japanese (criterion by Japan Society for the Study of Obesity) , or not less than 30 for westerner (criterion by WHO) .
[0190]

Because patients with metabolic syndrome have an extreme high incidence of cardiovascular diseases as compared to patients with single lifestyle-related disease, the prophylaxis or treatment of metabolic syndrome is extremely important to prevent cardiovascular diseases.
Criteria for diagnosis of metabolic syndrome are
announced by WHO in 1999, and by NCEP in 2001. According to the criterion of WHO, patients with at least two of abdominal obesity, dyslipidemia (high TG or low HDL) and hypertension in addition to hyperinsulinemia or impaired glucose tolerance are diagnosed as metabolic syndrome (World Health Organization: Definition, Diagnosis and Classification of Diabetes Mellitus and Its Complications. Part I: Diagnosis and Classification of Diabetes Mellitus, World Health Organization, Geneva, 1999) . According. to the criterion of Adult Treatment Panel III of National Cholesterol Education Program, that is an indicator for managing ischemic heart diseases in America, patients with at least three of abdominal obesity, high triglycerides, low HDL cholesterol, hypertension and impaired glucose tolerance are diagnosed as metabolic syndrome (National Cholesterol Education Program: Executive Summary of the Third Report of National Cholesterol Education Program (NCEP) Expert Panel on Detection, Evaluation, and Treatment of High Blood Cholesterol in Adults (Adults Treatment Panel III) . The Journal of the American Medical Association, Vol. 285, 2486-2497, 2001) .

In the case of a compound having a tert-butoxycarbonyl group (-Boc) , a peak after elimination of a tert-butoxycarbonyl group or tert- butyl group may be observed as a fragment ion. Depending on the compound, a molecular ion peak after addition of sodium ion (+Na) may be observed as a fragment ion. In the case of a compound having a hydroxyl group (-OH) , a peak after
elimination of H20 may be observed as a fragment ion. In the case of a salt, a molecular ion peak or fragment ion peak of free form is generally observed.
