Description

p WO002/28821 PCT/EP01/11005
Propionic acid derivatives
The present invention relates to novel potent PPAR-alpha-activating compounds for treating, for example, coronary heart disease, and to their preparation.
In spite of many successful therapies, coronary heart disease (CHD) remains a serious public health problem. Treatment with statins, which inhibit HMG-CoA reductase, successfully lowers both LDL cholesterol plasma concentrations and the mortality of patients at risk; however, convincing treatment strategies for the therapy of patients having an unfavourable HDL/LDL cholesterol ratio or hypertriglyceridaemia are still not available to date.
Currently, fibrates are the only therapy option for patients of these risk groups. They act as weak agonists of the peroxisome-proliferator-activated receptor (PPAR )-alpha (Nature 1990, 347, 645-50). A disadvantage of the fibrates which have hitherto been approved is that their interaction with the receptor is only weak, requiring high daily doses and causing considerable side-effects.
WO 00/23407 describes PPAR modulators for treating obesity, atherosclerosis and/or diabetes.
It was an object of the present invention to provide novel compounds which can be used as PPAR-alpha modulators.
It has now been found that this object is achieved by compounds of the general formula (I)

The process according to the invention is generally carried out at atmospheric pressure. However, it is also possible to carry out the process under elevated pressure or under reduced pressure (for example in a range of from 0.5 to 5 bar).
Solvents which are suitable for the process are customary organic solvents which do not change under the reaction conditions. These include ethers, such as diethyl ether, dioxane, tetrahydrofuran, glycol dimethyl ether, or hydrocarbons, such as benzene, toluene, xylene, hexane, cyclohexane or mineral oil fractions, or halogenated hydrocarbons, such as dichloromethane, trichloromethane, carbon tetrachloride, dichloroethylene, trichloroethylene or chlorobenzene, or ethyl acetate, pyridine, dimethyl sulphoxide, dimethylformamide, N,N’-dimethylpropyleneurea (DMPU),
N-methylpyrrolidone (NMP), acetonitrile, acetone or nitromethane. It is also possible to use mixtures of the solvents mentioned.
Solvents which are preferred for process step (II) + (IIT) — (Ia) are dichloromethane and dimethylformamide. For process step (IV) + (V) — (la), preference is given to dimethylformamide.
The process step (II) + (II) — (Ia) according to the invention is generally carried out in a temperature range of from 0°C to +100°C, preferably from 0°C to +40°C. The process step (IV) + (V) — (Ia) is generally carried out in a temperature range of from 0°C to +120°C, preferably from +50°C to +100°C.
The auxiliaries used for the amide formation in process step (II) + (II) — (la) are preferably customary condensing agents, such as carbodiimides, for example, N,N'- diethyl-, N,N'-dipropyl-, N,N'-diisopropyl-, N,N'-dicyclohexylcarbodiimide (DCC),

Preference is given to sodium bicarbonate.
The hydrolysis of the carboxylic acid esters in the process step (Ia) or (Ib) — (Ic) is carried out by customary methods by treating the esters in inert solvents with bases, the salts that are initially formed being converted by treatment with acid into the free carboxylic acids. In the case of the tert-butyl esters, the hydrolysis is preferably carried out using acids.

Preference is given to hydrogen chloride or trifluoroacetic acid in the case of the tert-butyl esters and to hydrochloric acid in the case of the methyl esters.
In the case of compounds of the general formula (Ia) or (Ib) prepared by solid-phase synthesis and attached to a polymeric support via the carboxylic acid group, the cleavage from the resin to give the compounds of the general formula (Ic) is likewise carried out by the above-described customary methods for carboxylic acid ester hydrolysis. Here, preference is given to using trifluoroacetic acid.
When carrying out the hydrolysis, the base or the acid is generally employed in an amount of from 1 to 100 mol, preferably from 1.5 to 40 mol, based on 1 mole of the ester.
The hydrolysis is generally carried out in a temperature range of from 0°C to +100°C, preferably from 0°C to +50°C.
