Description

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION

1. Field of the Invention

The invention relates to novel phosphocholine derivatives which are inhibitors of the enzyme phospholipase A.sub.2.

2. Description of the Prior Art

The enzyme phospholipase A.sub.2 (phosphalide 2-acylhydrolase, PCA.sub.2) is generally accepted as being the key enzyme responsible for exerting rate-determining regulatory control over the release of polyunsaturated fatty acids from phospholipids [Flower, R. Q., et al., Biochem. Pharmac., 25, 285 (1976); Lapetina, E. G., et al., Annu. Rep. Med. Chem., 19, 213 (1984)]. This enzyme has been isolated from many sources and is known to cleave snglycerophospholipids at the 2-position thus giving rise ultimately to the biosynthesis of platelet activating factor, prostaglandins, leukotrienes and prostacyclin [Dennis, E. A., The Enzymes; Academic Press: New York; Vol. 16, Chapter 9 (1983)]. The roles of these mediators in the inflammatory response associated with various diseases and physiological states is well known. Included among these diseases are asthma, arthritis, pancreatitis, myocardial ischemia, inflammation, pain, edema and their inflammatory related disorders.

Various compounds which are known to be inhibitors of phospholipase A.sub.2 have been described in U.S. Pat. No. 4,959,357, 4,933,365 and in Wilkenson, Anti Inflammatory Phospholipase A.sub.2 Inhibitors, Drugs Of The Future, Vol 15, No. 2, p 139-148 (1990). Various phosphocholine derivative compounds having anti hypertension activity have been disclosed in U.S. Pat. No. 4,640,913, 4,697,031, 4,699,990, 4,703,130, 4,939,127, 4,762,942, 4,883,816 and 4,894,367.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION

The preparation of the phospholipase A.sub.2 inhibiting compounds according to the present invention is described hereinbelow in Flowcharts A through M wherein n, m, X, R, R', A, A' and J are as described hereinabove.

As indicated in the sequence of reactions outlined in Flowchart A, the alcohol 2 is reacted with acid 3 in the presence of an agent such as dicyclohexylcarbodiimide with a base such as N,N-dimethylaminopyridine in an inert solvent such as dichloromethane to produce ester 5. Alternatively, alcohol can be reacted with anhydride in the presence of a base such as sodium acetate in an inert solvent such as chloroform to produce ester 5. ##STR18##

As indicated in the sequence of reactions outlined in Flowchart B, an .alpha.,.beta. unsaturated ester like ethyl acrylate is reacted with thiol 7 in the presence of a base such as triethylamine in a solvent such as ethyl alcohol to produce the sulfide-ester 8. When 8 is reacted with a reducing agent such as lithium borohydride in a solvent such as tetrahydrofuran, the alcohol-sulfide 9 is produced. ##STR19##

The alcohol-sulfide 9 is reacted with 2-bromoethyl phosphorodichlorodate in an inert solvent such as carbon tetrachloride in the presence of a base such as triethylamine. After approximately ten hours, the solvent is evaporated and a polar aprotic solvent such as tetrahydrofuran is added followed by an approximately equal volume of 0.5M sodium acetate. After approximately 10 hours, the solution is acidified with an acid such as hydrochloric acid and then extracted with an inert organic solvent such as ether. The residue which remains after evaporation of the organic solvent is dissolved in a solvent mixture such as chloroform, 2-propanol, dimethylformamide and trimethylamine is added to this mixture. After heating for approximately 5 hours at approximately 60.degree. C., the phosphocholine derivative lo is produced [Wissner, A., et al., J. Med. Chem., 27, 1174 (1984)]. When compound 10 is reacted with one equivalent of an oxidizing agent such as 3-chloroperoxybenzoic acid in an inert solvent such as dichloromethane at a reduced temperature of approximately -78.degree. C., the sulfoxide 11 is produced. When the sulfide 10 is reacted with an excess amount of an oxidant such as ozone, wherein the intermediate ozonide must be reduced with a reductant such as dimethylsulfide, at a reduced temperature of approximately -78.degree. C. in an inert solvent such as dichloromethane, the sulphone 12 is produced. ##STR20##

As indicated in the sequence of reactions outlined in Flowchart C, the functionalized ester 13 [previously described: J. Organometal. Chem. 308(3), C27-C32 (1986); Aust. J. Chem. 34(11), 2355 (1981): Pat. Specf. (Aust.) AU534112 B2,5 January 1984, 22 pp.]is reacted with alcohol 14 in the presence of a base such as N,N-dimethylaminopyridine in an inert solvent such as dichloromethane to produce 15.

Following the sequence of reactions previously described in connection with Flowchart B, the alcohol 17 is converted to phosphocholine derivative 18. Reaction of sulfide with one equivalent of an oxidizing agent such as 3-chloroperoxybenzoic acid in an inert solvent such as dichloromethane at a reduced temperature of approximately -78.degree. C. produces sulfoxide 19. Reaction of sulfide 18 with an excess amount of an oxidizing agent such as 3-chloroperoxybenzoic acid in an inert solvent such as dichloromethane at a reduced temperature of approximately -78.degree. C., produces sulphone 20. ##STR21##

As indicated in the sequence of reactions outlined in Flowchart D, wherein L is selected from the group consisting of p-methoxytriphenylmethyl or benzyl, the alcohol 21 is reacted with phosphate 22 in the presence of a base such as N-methyl-5-chloroimidazole in a solvent system such as acetonitrile/dichloromethane to produce 23. Upon removal of the group L from 23 using, for example, hydrogenolytic conditions whereby compound 23 is placed under an atmosphere of hydrogen in the presence of a catalyst such as palladium on carbon in a solvent system such as cyclohexane/acetic acid; the alcohol 24 is produced. When 24 is subjected to the same set of reactions described hereinabove in connection with Flowchart B for attachment of a phosphocholine moiety, the phosphocholine derivative 25 is produced.

Alternatively, as indicated in the sequence of reactions outlined in Flowchart E the monomethyl derivative 29 may be prepared wherein X, A, L, m and n are as described hereinabove. This compound is useful for providing a route to the mono-acid 30. ##STR22##

As indicated in the sequence of reactions outlined in Flowchart E, the alcohol 21 is reacted with dichlorophosphate 26 in the presence of a base such as dimethylaminopyridine and another base such as triethylamine in an inert solvent such as carbon tetrachloride. This mixture is then reacted with methyl alcohol to produce 27. Upon removal of the group L using, for example, hydrogenolytic conditions whereby compound 27 is placed under an atmosphere of hydrogen in the presence of a catalyst such as palladium on carbon in a solvent system such as cyclohexane, acetic acid, the alcohol 28 is produced. When 28 is subjected to the sequence of reactions described hereinabove in connection with Flowchart B for attachment of a phosphocholine moiety, compound 29 is produced.

As indicated in the sequence of reactions in Flowchart H, alcohol 43 is reacted with X-Y 32 in the presence of a base such as sodium hydride and in a solvent system such as dimethylformamide (DMF)-tetrahydrofuran (THF) to produce 44. Acetal 44 is converted to an alcohol via reaction with a reductant such as lithium aluminum hydride boron trifluoride etherate to produce 45. The hydroxyl group of 45 is functionalized to become a leaving group with an agent such as p-toluenesulfonylchloride in the presence of a base such as pyridine to produce 46. When 46 is reacted with sodium azide in a solvent such as dimethylformamide (DMF), the azide derivative 47 is formed. Reduction of the azide group of 47 with a reductant such as lithium aluminum hydride in a solvent such as diethylether produces the amine 48. Reaction of 48 with anhydride 49 in the presence of a base such as dimethylaminopyridine in an inert solvent such as chloroform produces 50.

As indicated in the sequence of reactions in Flowchart I, alcohol 53 is reacted with acid 54 in the presence of a base such as sodium hydride in an inert solvent such as toluene. This reaction mixture is then hydrolyzed with an acidic methanol solution to produce 55. When 55 is subjected to the sequence of reactions previously described hereinabove in connection with Flowchart B for attachment of a phosphocholine moiety and this reaction mixture is treated with compound 56 (R'--OH wherein R' is selected from the group consisting of C.sub.1 -C.sub.24 alkyl), the ester 57 is produced.

This reaction mixture is then reacted with a reductant such as lithium aluminum hydride to produce 59. The hydroxyl group of 59 is converted to a leaving group such as bromide via reaction with an agent such as phosphorous tribromide to produce 60. When 60 is reacted with a salt of 58 such as the sodium salt in a solvent such as tetrahydrofuran (THF), 61 is produced. Reaction of 61 with a reductant such as lithium aluminum hydride in an inert solvent such as diethylether, produces diol 62. Deprotection of 62 with a base such as sodium hydride in a solvent such as dimethylformamide with X-Y 32 being present, produces 63. When alcohol 63 is subjected to the sequence of reactions previously described hereinabove in connection with Flowchart B for transformation of a hydroxyl group to a phosphocholine, 64 is produced. Reaction of 64 with an oxidant such as ozone wherein the intermediate ozonide is reduced with dimethylsulfide produces ketone 65 or by reaction with m-chloroperbenzoic acid gives epoxide 64a. When 65 is subjected to reductive amination conditions such as ammonium acetate sodium cyanoborohydride, the amine 66 is produced. When 65 is treated with borane, alcohol 65a is formed. Treatment of 65 with methylmagnesium bromide affords alcohol 65b.

Referring to Flowchart K, R', X, Y and M are as described hereinabove. ##STR28##

As indicated in the sequence of reactions outlined in Flowchart K, propargyl alcohol is reacted with a base such as lithium amide and then with R'-Y 67 to produce 68. The hydroxyl moiety of 68 is transformed to a leaving group such as bromide via the action of a reagent such as phosphorous tribromide in an inert solvent such as diethylether to give 69. Reaction of the propargylic bromide derivative 69 with 58 a in a solvent such as ethyl alcohol produces 70. Reduction of the carboxylate groups of 70 with a reductant such as lithium aluminum hydride in an inert solvent such as diethylether produces 71. When 71 is treated with a base such as sodium hydride in a solvent such as dimethylformamide (DMF) and then reacted with X-Y 32, compound 72 is produced. Subjection of the alcohol 72 to the sequence of reactions previously described in connection with Flowchart B for transformation of an alcohol moiety to a phosphocholine moiety produces 73. Reaction of 73 with potassium permanganate affords dione 73a. ##STR29##

The olefinic moiety of 80 is transformed into a .beta.-lactam ring via reaction with chlorosulfonylisocyanate and subsequent reduction of the intermediate with a reductant such as sodium sulfite to produce 81. Removal of the benzyl group of 81 under hydrogenolytic conditions using a catalyst such as palladium-on-carbon produces 82. Reaction of 82 with 2-chloro-2-oxo-1,3,2-dioxaphospholane [Edmundson, R. N.; Chem. Ind. (London) 1962, 1828] in the presence of a base such as triethylamine produces a cyclic phosphate which is opened by reaction with trimethylamine to produce 83.

The compounds of this invention were tested for pharmacological activity as described in the following tests.

IN VITRO PORCINE PANCREATIC PHOSPHOLIPASE (PLA2) ASSAY

Phospholipase A.sub.2 activity was measured by a radiochemical assay in which labeled synthetic phosphatidylcholine substrate is converted by porcine pancreatic PLA.sub.2 to free radiolabeled arachidonate and lyso PC. Radiolabeled arachidonate is extracted from the reaction mixture and separated from unreacted substrate by column chromatography or TLC. Radioactivity (cpm) in samples is quantitated by liquid scintillation counting. Specific details are as follows:

Labeled substrate(1-stearyl-2-.sup.3 H-arachidonylphosphatidylcholine; Amersham, sp. act. 84 (uCi/mmole, 0.025 to 0.2 uCi/assay tube and unlabeled substrates (Avanti), in sufficient quantity to give 20,000 cpm to 50,000 cpm and 10 uM to 1,000 uM final concentration/assay tube are dried under a stream of nitrogen. The PLA.sub.2 and mPLA.sub.2 assays utilized a 2 nM substrate concentration. The mHPLA.sub.2 and HPLA.sub.2 assays (vida infra) utilized a 10 uM substrate concentration and the SmPLA.sub.2 assay utilized a substrate concentration ranging from 100 to 1000 um. The substrate is then redissolved

in 0 .1M tris-HCl buffer, pH 9.0 containing 10 mM CaC.sub.12 and 10 mM Na taurocholate detergent. The mixture is sonicated in a Kontes Sonifier to yield a homogeneous dispersion. The "mixed" micellar substrate is clear. An aliquot is reserved for a cpm count (total substrate). The total reaction volume is 500 uL; siliconized glassware or plasticware is used throughout. Enzyme (Sigma, sp. act.>690 U/mg protein and preferably 900 U/mg protein) is diluted 1:750 or 1:1000 in 0.1M tris-HCl buffer, pH 9.0 (without Ca.sup.++ and detergent). Enzyme dilution depends on substrate concentration and required enzyme concentration.

The substrate in buffer is kept on ice until the reaction is starred. The reaction is started by adding 10 uL of diluted enzyme solution to 490 uL of micellar substrate solution. Samples are incubated in a 37.degree. C. water bath for 15 minutes with gentle mixing. The reaction is terminated by the addition of 100 uL of 1M fresh trichloroacetic acid (TCA) solution and chilling the tubes on ice for 30 minutes.

Samples (600 uL) are extracted with 3 ml CHCl.sub.3 /MeOH (2:1) for thin layer chromatography or in hexane/ether (9:1) for column chromatography. The phases are separated by gentle centrifugation at 700 rpm.times.5'. The organic phase is recovered.

THIN LAYER CHROMATOGRAPHY

Labeled arachidonate extracted with CHCl.sub.3 /MeOH is separated on silica gel G TLC plates (Analtech). Twenty uL of a 2 mg/ml internal standard solution of arachidonic acid (Sigma) is combined with 2-3 ml of the organic phase. The entire mixture is dried under nitrogen and redissolved in 50 uL of CHCl3/MeOH (2:1). A 20 uL sample is counted in 10 ml of Beckman Redi-solv HP and spotted on silica gel G plates. The solvent system used to develop the plate is CHCl.sub.3 /MeOH/13.5N (70:30:4:1). Plates are developed in a glass chamber for 1-11/2hours, air dried, and the spots visualized in an iodine vapor chamber. Standards of phosphatidylcholine, lyso PC, and arachidonic acid (Sigma) are made as 2 mg/ml stocks in CHCl.sub.3 /MeOH (2:1) and spotted on plates. Spots corresponding to arachidonate and phospholipid are scraped and counted in 10 ml Beckman Redi-Solv HP scintillation fluid.

COLUMN CHROMATOGRAPHY

Samples are extracted with hexane/ether and the upper organic phase recovered. An aliquot is applied to a Silicar CC.sub.4 (Malincrodt) column. Columns are prepared using 1 ml of a 1:1 slurry of silicar CC.sub.4 in hexane/ether in a Pasteur pipet (approx. 2 cm height). Columns are rinsed with 500 uL of hexane/ether before adding the sample (300-600 uL) to the column. Columns are eluted with a total of 6 ml of hexane/ether. The 6 ml sample is counted in 10 ml of Beckman Redi-Solv HP scintillation fluid.

DRUG INHIBITORS IN ENZYME ASSAYS

For the phospholipase A.sub.2 assay, compounds are prepared as 1 mg/ml stock solutions in MeOH and diluted appropriately in PBS. Ten ul aliquots of the respective working stock solutions are either preincubated with phospholipase A.sub.2 enzyme in buffer in the absence of Ca.sup.++ or detergent for a specific time (enzyme preincubation design) or are blown down under a N.sub.2 stream with the substrate prior to addition of buffer (mixed micellar design). Reactions are always begun by addition of enzyme (preincubated with compound or diluent or fresh ) to substrate dispersion in buffer.

The assays are grouped as follows:

PLA.sub.2 Assay: preincubation of drug+enzyme; substrate conc=2 nM

MPLA.sub.2 Assay: mixed micelle design of drug+substrate connc=2 nM

HPLA.sub.2 Assay preincubation design; [s]=10 um

MHPLA.sub.2 Assay: mixed micelle design [s]=10 um

SMPLA.sub.2 Assay: mixed micelle design; [s]=100-100 uM

The results of these tests are displayed in the following five tables.

The tablets, capsules and the like may also contain a binder such as gum tragacanth, acacia, corn starch or gelatin; excipients such as dicalcium phosphate; a disintegrating agent such as corn starch, potato starch, alginic acid; a lubricant such as magnesium stearate; and a sweetening agent such as sucrose, lactose or saccharin. When the dosage unit form is a capsule, it may contain, in addition to materials of the above type, a liquid carrier such as a fatty oil.

Various other materials may be present as coatings or to modify the physical form of the dosage unit. For instance, tablets may be coated with shellac, sugar or both. A syrup or elixir may contain, in addition to active ingredient, sucrose as a sweetening agent, methyl and propylparabens as preservatives, a dye and flavoring such as cherry or orange flavor.

These active compounds may also be administered parenterally. Solutions or suspensions of these active compounds can be prepared in water sutably mixed with a surfactant such as hydroxypropylcellulose. Dispersions can also be prepared in glycerol, liquid polyethylene glycols and mixtures thereof in oils. Under ordinary conditions of storage and use, these preparations contain a preservative to prevent the growth of microorganisms.

The pharmaceutical forms suitable for injectable use include sterile aqueous solutions or dispersions and sterile powders for the extemporaneous preparation of sterile injectable solutions or dispersions. In all cases, the form must be sterile and must be fluid to the extent that easy syringability exists. It must be stable under the conditions of manufacture and storage and must be preserved against the contaminating action of microorganisms such as bacterial and fungi. The carrier can be a solvent or dispersion medium containing for example, water, ethanol, poluol (e.g. glycerol, propylene glycol and liquid polyethylene glycol), suitable mixtures thereof, and vegetable oils.

The invention will be further described by the following examples.
