Description
TECHNICAL FIELD
This invention relates to inhibitors of lipoxygenase enzymes, and more particularly to novel lipoxygenase-inhibiting thiazole compounds which are derived from non steroidal antiinflammatory drugs (NSAID) containing the carboxylic acid functionality. It also relates to methods and compositions for inhibiting lipoxygenase enzymes in humans and animal hosts in need of such treatment.
BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION
5-Lipoxygenase is the first enzyme in the pathway leading to the biosynthesis of leukotrienes (LTs). In the course of this pathway or "cascade", arachidonic acid, the 5-lipoxygenase substrate from which leukotriene (LT) products are derived, is first converted to 5-hydroperoxy-eicosatetraenoic acid (5-HPETE) and subsequently reduced to 5-hydroxyeicosatetraenoic acid (5-HETE) or converted to LTA.sub.4. The reactive leukotriene intermediate LTA.sub.4 is enzymatically hydrated to LTB.sub.4 or conjugated to the tripeptide glutathione to produce LTC.sub.4. LTA.sub.4 can also be hydrolyzed nonenzymatically to form two isomers of LTB.sub.4. Successive proteolytic cleavage steps convert LTC.sub.4 to LTD.sub.4 and LTE.sub.4. Other products resulting from further oxygenation steps have also been described. (See Serhan, C. N., Hamberg, M., and Samuelsson, B., Lipoxins: Novel Series of Biologically Active Compounds Formed from Arachidonic Acid in Human Leukocytes, Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences, USA, 81:5335 (1985)).
Products of the 5-lipoxygenase cascade are extremely potent substances which produce a wide variety of biological effects, often in the nanomolar to picomolar concentration range. (Sirois, P., "Pharmacology of the Leukotrienes", Advances in Lipid Research, R. Paoletti & D. Kritchevesky, eds., Academic Press, 21:79 (1985.)) The remarkable potencies and diversity of actions of products of the 5-lipoxygenase pathway have led to the suggestion that they play important roles in a variety of diseases. The presence of LTs A.sub.4 -E.sub.4 has been associated with a number of disease states, including asthma, allergic rhinitis, rheumatoid arthritis, gout, psoriasis, inflammatory disorders of the skin, acne, atherosclerosis, adult respiratory distress syndrome, inflammatory bowel disease, endotoxin shock, ischemia induced myocardial injury, and central nervous pathophysiology.
The enzyme 5-lipoxygenase catalyzes the first step leading to the biosynthesis of all the leukotrienes, and inhibition of this enzyme is therefore likely to limit the effects of these potent mediators of numerous pathophysiological processes. Agents which block or modulate the activity of lipoxygenase enzymes thus represent a promising class of therapeutic agents for use in the treatment of diseases involving leukotriene pathogenesis. (Brooks, D. W., Bell, R. L., and Carter, G. W., Chapter 8: Pulmonary and Antiallergy Agents, Annual Reports in Medicinal Chemistry, Allen, R. C., ed., Academic Press (1988)).

A variety of materials can be used as carriers, adjuvants and vehicles in the composition of this invention, as available in the pharmaceutical arts. Injectable preparations, such as oleaginous solutions, suspensions or emulsions, may be formulated according to known art, using suitable dispersing or wetting agents and suspending agents, as needed. The sterile injectable preparation may employ a nontoxic parenterally acceptable diluent or solvent as, for example, sterile nonpyrogenic water or 1,3-butanediol. Among the other acceptable vehicles and solvents that may be employed are 5% dextrose injection, Ringer's injection and isotonic sodium chloride injection (as described in the USP/NF). In addition, sterile, fixed oils are conventionally employed as solvents or suspending media. For this purpose any bland fixed oil may be used, including synthetic mono-, di- or triglycerides. Fatty acids such as oleic acid can also be used in the preparation of injectable compositions.
Suppositories for rectal administration of the compound of this invention can be prepared by mixing the drug with suitable nonirritating excipients such as cocoa butter and polyethylene glycols, which are solid at ordinary temperatures but liquid at body temperature and which therefore melt in the rectum and release the drug.
Solid dosage forms for oral administration include capsules, tablets, pills, troches, lozenges, powders and granules. In such solid dosage forms, the active compound may be admixed with at least one inert diluent such as sucrose, lactose or starch. Such dosage forms may also comprise, as is normal practice, pharmaceutical adjuvant substances, e.g., stearate lubricating agents. In the case of capsules, tablets and pills, the dosage forms may also comprise buffering agents. Solid oral preparations can also be prepared with enteric or other coatings which modulate release of the active ingredients.
Liguid dosage forms for oral administration include pharmaceutically acceptable emulsions, solutions, suspensions, syrups and elixirs containing inert nontoxic diluents commonly used in the art, such as water and alcohol. Such compositions may also comprise adjuvants, such as wetting, emulsifying, suspending, sweetening, flavoring and perfuming agents.
Synthesis of the Compounds
Compounds of this invention can be prepared by the processes presented hereinbelow. In certain cases where the non-steroidal antiinflammatory drug (NSAID) contains functional groups which might interfere with a desired transformation outlined in the following processes, it is recognized that common methods of protection of these groups followed by deprotection at a later stage in the preparation of the desired product can be employed. A general reference source for methods of protection and deprotection is T. W. Greene, "Protective Groups in Organic Synthesis", Wiley-Interscience, New York, 1981.
4-Hydroxythiazoles of Formula I are prepared by the reaction sequence outlined in Scheme I, below. The nonsteroidal antiinflammatory drugs, Z--CO.sub.2 H, are converted to the corresponding thioamides by a sequence of known methods, for example, by successive treatment with (a) thionyl chloride, (b) ammonium hydroxide, and (c) Lawesson's reagent. The thioamides are then reacted with an alpha haloester or alpha haloacid chloride or alpha haloacid bromide at high temperature in toluene to provide the corresponding 4-hydroxythiazoles. ##STR4##
4-Hydroxythiazoles of Formula II are prepared by the reaction sequence outlined in Scheme II. The nonsteroidal antiinflammatory drugs, Z--CO.sub.2 H, are converted to the corresponding homologous acid Z--CH.sub.2 CO.sub.2 H by known methods. For example, the following references describe applicable methods: Kowalski, C. J., Hague, M. S., Fields, K. W., J. Am. Chem. Soc., 107:1429 (1985); Johnson, W. S., Christiansen, R. G., Ireland, R. E., J. Am. Chem. Soc., 79:1995 (1957); Dinizo, S. E., Freerksen, R. W., Pabst, W. E., Watt, D. S., J. Am. Chem. Soc., 99:182 (1977). Conversion to the alpha-halo acid halide analog Z--CHX--COX where X=Cl or Br also is accomplished by known methods. Reaction of the alpha-haloacid halide with a thioamide compound provides the desired hydroxythiazole. ##STR5## Other known methods to access the intermediate Z--CHX--COX from starting materials other than NSAID carboxylic acids substrates are also taught by Example 5.
The following examples are for the purpose of illustrating the use of the above synthetic schemes to prepare representative compounds of the present invention, and are not intended to limit the scope of the claims in any way.
