Description
The present invention relates to novel enkephalin derivatives. In particular, it provides novel enkephalin derivatives of Formula I which are useful as analgesic agents.
In 1975, a pentapeptide, methionine enkephalin, was reported by Hughes et al., Nature, 258, 577 (1975). This peptide is found in many areas of the brain where it appears to act as a neurotransmitter or neuromodulator in a central pain-suppressant system. The natural peptide binds stereospecifically to partially purified brain opiate receptor sites, see for example, Bradberry et al., Nature, 260, 793 (1976). The natural peptide is also highly active in bioassays for opiate activity but exhibits only weak, fleeting analgesic activity when injected directly into the brain of the rat, see for example, Belluzi et al., Nature, 260, 625 (1976)
In order to overcome the lack of in vivo activity, a number of investigators have made numerous modifications in the methionine enkephalin structure, such as substituting the glycine in the 2-position with a D-amino acid, N-methylation of the L-tyrosine, substituting the 4-phenylalanine with, for example, methyl or halo, modifying the C-terminus, etc., to produce enkephalin derivatives of varying properties and potencies. The present invention provides new enkephalin derivatives which approach the potency of morphine as analgesic agents by both oral and parenteral routes of administration.

The analgesic activity for the compounds of the present invention was established in the hot-plate assay and mouse PBQ-writhing assay, and the analgesic activity of the representative compounds was compared with that of morphine.
Hot-plate assay. Male CRL: COBX CD-1 (1CR) BR mice weighing 20 to 30 grams are used. Two groups of 14 mice are brought into the experiment room approximately one-half hour prior to testing. The mice are placed individually in a restraining cylinder placed on a hot plate with temperature controlled by a proportional temperature controller at 55 degrees plus or minus 0.5 degrees centigrade. The reaction time of each mouse to lick a foot or jump is measured 3 times at 20 minute intervals. Mice not responding within 15 seconds are discarded. Ten mice are given a dose of the test drug and ten are given 0.9 percent saline, each containing approximately 0.09 ml of a 50/50 mixture of propylene glycol and polysorbate 80, intraveneously 20 minutes after the last reaction time measurement. The animals are tested as before 10, 30, and 60 seconds after this injection. Mice not responding within 30 seconds are removed from the hot plate and given a response time of 30 seconds. Analgesia is considered to be demonstrated in the mouse if its post-drug reaction time is greater than that of the control mean plus two standard deviations. The number of animals showing analgesia in the drug group is compared with that same value for the control group by means of Fisher's exact probability test. The ED.sub.50 is then calculated. N. B. Eddy et al. Synthetic Analgesics, National Institute of Arthritis and Metabolic Diseases, National Institute of Health Bethesda, Maryland, pages 385-393, 1952, and S. Siegal: Non-parametrics Statistics for the Behavioral Sciences, New York: McGraw Hill Book Company, 1956.
PBQ-Writhing assay. Groups of 10 male mice weighing 20 to 35 grams are used for each dose and for the vehicle control. Writhing is induced 30 or 60 minutes following drug or drug vehicle administration by the intraperitoneal injection of a 0.025 percent solution of PBQ and 5 percent ethanol. The number of separate writhing motions occurring in a ten minute period starting 5 minutes following the PBQ challenge is counted for each mouse. A positive antinociceptive affect is assured when an individual animals' writhing frequency is less than or equal to 50 percent of the vehicle control group median frequency. ED.sub.50 values based on the number of positive responders per dose group is determined using the method of Litchfield and Wilcoxon. M. R. Fennessy et al. The Assessment of and Problems Involved in the Experimental Evaluation of Narcotic Analgesics. In Methods in Narcotics Research, Marcel Dekker, Inc., New York, 1975. H. Bomberg et al. Use of Writhing Test for Evaluating Analgesic Activity of Narcotic Analgesics, Proc. Soc. Ext. Biol. Med. 118: 763-766, 1965. These tests show that the novel compounds are useful as analgesic agents in the dosage ranges about 0.1 to 100 milligrams per kilogram.
By virtue of the analgesic activity, the compounds of Formula I are useful in treating symptoms requiring an analgesic in humans and animals. A physician or veterinarian of ordinary skill could readily determine a subject who is exhibiting such symptoms. Regardless of the route of administration selected, the compounds of the present invention are formulated into pharmaceutically acceptable dosage forms by conventional methods known to the pharmaceutical art. The compounds can be administered in such oral dosage forms as tablets, capsules, pills, powders, granules, suspensions, or solutions. They may also be administered rectally or vaginally, in such forms as suppositories or bougies. They may also introduced in the form of eyedrops, intraperitoneally, subcutaneously or intramuscularly, using forms known to the pharmaceutical art. In general the preferred form of administration is oral.
An effective but nontoxic quantity of the compound is employed in treatment. The dosage regimen for preventing or treating symptoms by the compounds of this invention is selected in accordance with a variety of factors including the type, age, weight, sex, and medical condition of the mammal, the severity of the symptoms, the route of administration of the particular compound employed. An ordinary skilled physician or veterinarian will readily determine and prescribe the effective amount based on the route of administration of the analgesic agent to prevent or arrest the progress of the condition. In so proceeding, the physician or veterinarian could employ relatively low dosages at first, subsequently increasing the dose until a maximum response is obtained.
The compounds of Formula I can also be administered as pharmacologically acceptable acid addition salts such as the hydrochloride, hydrobromide, hydroiodide, sulfate, phosphate, acetate, propionate, lactate, maleate, malate, succinate, tartrate and the like. Additionally, the compounds of this invention may be administered in a suitable hydrated form.
The compounds of this invention may be prepared by any number of methods known to those skilled in the art. For example, the particular sequence of reactions by which the individual amino acids are joined to form the compounds of Formula I is generally not of critical importance, being chosen principally for convenience or for maximum yields. Moreover, the choice of activating reagents and conditions for joining amino acids or small peptides is not limited to those specifically described herein. Peptide intermediates and products of this invention are typically purified by crystallization, where possible, or by column chromatography. Furthermore, where racemic amino acid starting materials are employed, intermediates and products may be separated during column chromatography into diastereomers. For example, reaction of racemic-t butoxycarbonyl-2,6-dimethyl(D,L) tyrosine with a peptide intermediate results in mixtures of diastereomeric products. Based upon thin layer chromatography results, these diastereomers are comprised of a slow moving isomer (S) and a faster moving isomer (F). In describing these isomers herein, the assumption is made that the slow moving diastereomer (S) corresponds to the L-isomer and the fast moving diasteriomer (F) corresponds to the D-isomer form of the tyrosyl starting material.
The accompanying Charts are used to illustrate one of the possible methods used to prepare the compounds of this invention.
Chart A illustrates a general method for forming dipeptide intermediates useful in the synthesis of compounds of Formula I. Partially blocked amino acids of Formula XI, in which B represents common N-protecting groups such as t-butoxycarbonyl, may be activated by any of several methods known to those skilled in the art. The generally preferred method includes forming a mixed anhydride by reaction with an alkyl chlorocarbonate in an unreactive solvent containing a tertiary amine. Preferred conditions include cooling a mixture of the appropriate compound of Formula XI in cold (ca. -30 to -40.degree.) dimethylformamide or dichloromethane containing N-methylmorpholine, followed by addition of isobutyl chloroformate. Once the mixed anhydride of Formula XII (X=OCOOCH.sub.2 CH(CH.sub.3).sub.2) has formed, the appropriate amine of Formula XIII is added and the reaction allowed to proceed at room temperature, giving the fully blocked intermediates of Formula XIV.
Especially where the amine of Formula XIII is N-substituted (i.e., where R.sub.5 is not hydrogen), an alternative method of activation involving carbodiimides may be more appropriate. For this method, compounds of Formulas XI and XIII are stirred together in an unreactive solvent to which is then added the carbodiimide. Preferred conditions include reaction in dichloromethane using dicyclohexylcarbodiimide. The isolated intermediates, Formula XIV, are exactly the same as those formed by the mixed anhydride method.
Using methods appropriate for the particular protecting groups B, compounds of Formula XIV may readily be deprotected to give compounds XV. Where the t-butoxycarbonyl protecting group is employed, for example, preferred deblocking conditions include acid solvolysis in hydrogen chloride/dioxane. Typically, the resultant hydrochloride salts may be used in subsequent reactions without first isolating the free amine.
Chart B illustates one method for extending the peptide chain to form intermediates of Formula XXVII. Using methods described above (see also Chart A), fully protected intermediates of Formula XXIV are formed fron N-protected amino acids, Formula XXI, and omega-amino esters, Formula XXIII. Hydrolysis of these intermediates, Formula XXIV, affords the analogous acids of Formula XXV. Preferred hydrolysis conditions include approximately one molar sodium hydroxide in aqueous methanol, followed by neutralization with sodium bisulfate. Using the methods described above, compounds of Formula XXV are activated and then coupled with intermediates of Formula XV to form protected peptides of Formula XXVI. As described above (see Chart A), removal of the protecting groups B affords amino compounds of Formula XXVII.
Chart C illustrates one method for completing the extension of the peptide chains. As described before (see Charts A and B), suitably protected aromatic amino acids of Formula XXXI are activated, for example by using mixed anhydride or carbodiimide methods, and allowed to react with intermediates of Formula XXVII. Appropriate removal of protecting groups from compounds XXXII affords compounds of this invention, Formula I.
Chart D illustrates one method for preparing sulfoxide or sulfone members of this invention, Formula XLII (i.e., Formula I where R=CH.sub.2 CH.sub.2 S(O)CH.sub.3 or R=CH.sub.2 CH.sub.2 SO.sub.2 --CH.sub.3, respectively), which for practical reasons are generally prepared after the methionine-containing peptides of Formula XLI have been fully formed using methods described above. Preferred oxidizing conditions include hydrogen peroxide in aqueous methanol--at room temperature, sulfoxides are the predominant or sole oxidation product, whereas at elevated temperatures (e.g., refluxing solvent), sulfones are formed.
The invention will appear more fully from the examples which follow. These examples are given by way of illustration only, and are not to be construed as limiting the invention either in spirit or in scope, as many modifications both in materials and in methods will be apparent from this disclosure to those skilled in the art.

EXAMPLE 12
t-butoxycarbonyl-2,6-dimethyltyrosine
To a stirred solution of 100 g (820 mmole) of 3,5-dimethylphenol and 79 g (1 mole) of pyridine in 300 ml of cooled (5.degree.-10.degree. ) toluene was slowly added 109 g (1 mole) of ethyl chloroformate in 100 ml of toluene. After overnight stirring, the mixture was concentrated in vacuo to an oil which was purified by distillation at reduced pressure, giving an intermediate carbonate diester. After heating 250 ml of concentrated hydrochloric acid to ca. 55.degree., 22 g of 37% aqueous formaldehyde was added, followed by addition of the carbonate diester. Hydrogen chloride gas was bubbled through the solution for about six hours. The mixture was allowed to stand overnight at room temperature and then shaken with dichloromethane. The organic phase thus formed was washed with water, aqueous sodium bicarbonate, and saturated brine, and then dried over sodium sulfate, filtered, and concentrated in vacuo. The resultant 4-chloromethyl derivative was purified by distillation at reduced pressure. After preparing an ethanolic solution of sodium ethoxide from 2.5 g (110 mmole) of sodium metal, 21.7 g (100 mmole) of diethyl acetamidomalonate was added and the solution heated to reflux. An ethanolic solution of the 4-chloromethyl intermediate was then added and the mixture was heated at reflux for another 2.5 hours. After standing overnight at room temperature, the mixture was treated with 6.6 g (110 mmole) of acetic acid. The resultant gum was dissolved in dichloromethane, which was then washed with aqueous sodium bicarbonate, filtered, and concentrated in vacuo to an oily residue. Recrystallization from diethyl ether afforded 6.5 g of the benzyl malonate derivative (from which the O-ethyoxycarbonyl group was lost). Heating a 1.0 g portion of the malonate derivative in concentrated hydrochloric acid at 95.degree. for about three days afforded 680 mg of 2,6-dimethyltyrosine as the nearly analytically pure hydrated hydrochloride salt.
