Description
This invention relates to novel quinolinyl- and naphthalenylbenzamides or benzylamines and related compounds possessing valuable pharmaceutical activity, particularly as bradykinin antagonists possessing analgesic properties.
BACKGROUND OF INVENTION
Bradykinin is known to produce intense pain when applied to the blister base in man, Kantor, et al., Proc. Soc. Exp. Biol. Med. 126: 505-507 (1967). In animals, its intraperitoneal injection induces writhing in rats and mice Collier, et al., Br. J. Pharmac. Chemoth. 32: 295-310 (1968); Dubinsky, et al., Prostaglandins 28(2): 241-252 (1984); and Loux, et al., Arzneim-Forsch Drug Res. 28(2): 1644-1647 (1978) and its intra-arterial injection causes pseudo affective responses in dogs and cats, Guzman, et al., Arch. Int. Pharmacodyn. 149 (3--3): 571-588 (1964); Juan, et al., Eur. J. Pharmaco. 65: 267-278 (1980); and Lim et al., Arch. Int. Pharmacodyn. 152(1-2): 25-58 (1964). The role of bradykinin in pain transmission is due in part to its direct effect on the pain receptors and in part to its indirect effect through the release of other mediators of pain and inflammation, Regoli, et al., Pharmacol. Rev. 32(1): 1-46 (1980). Essentially, most pain is associated, at least at the beginning, with inflammation at the peripheral receptor sites. Tissue injury causes the migration of polymorphonuclear leukocytes (PMN). Proteases released from PMN act on alpha 2-globulins to form bradykinin, which exerts both direct and indirect effects on pain transmission.
Bradykinin binds to the pain receptors at the nerve ending and causes the nerve to fire. The nerve impulses enter the spinal cord and cause the release of substance P which in turn amplifies the pain signals through an increase in nerve firing. Substance P also binds to the mast cells, stimulating histamine release, which causes further inflammation, thus enhancing the generation and propagation of pain impulses, Kantor, et al., Am. J. Med. 80 (S:3A): 3-9 (1986); and Shibata, et al., Jap. J. Pharmacol. 41: 427-429 (1986).
Bradykinin, at the same time, acts directly on the receptors of the capillary wall to increase the vascular permeability. Plasma exudation and increased leukocyte diapedesis follow. This allows inflammation to perpetuate and causes further release of mediators like prostaglandins, histamine and bradykinin, which all serve to further intensify the pain impulses, Yaksh, et al., in "Acetyl salicylic acid: New use for an old drug", ed. H. J. M. Barnett, J. Hirsh and J. F. Mustard, Raven Press, New York (1982) pp. 137-151.
Simultaneously bradykinin binds to mast cells, triggering the release of histamine, the ensuing additional inflammation and pain, and the cascade of reactions leading to the formation of more prostaglandins, Regoli, et al., Pharmacol. Rev. 32(1): 1-46 (1980). Thus, bradykinin, both by direct effects on cell membranes and indirect effects on the release of other mediators, triggers, transmits, and amplifies the pain impulses from the peripheral to the central sites. A bradykinin antagonist, therefore, would stop the pain signal before it reaches the central nervous system.

The present compounds form salts with acids. Suitable acids include, for example, hydrochloric, sulfuric, nitric, benzenesulfonic, toluenesulfonic, acetic, malic, tartaric and the like which are pharmaceutically acceptable.
The compounds of the present invention can be administered to a mammalian host in a variety of forms adapted to the chosen route of administration, i.e., orally, or parenterally. Parenteral administration in this respect includes administration by the following routes: intravenous, intramuscular, subcutaneous, intraocular, intrasynovial, transepithelially including transdermal, opthalmic, sublingual and buccal; topically including opthalmic, dermal, ocular, rectal and nasal inhalation via insufflation and aerosol and rectal systemic.
The active compound may be orally administered, for example, with an inert diluent or with an assimilable edible carrier, or it may be enclosed in hard or soft shell gelatin capsules, or it may be compressed into tablets, or it may be incorporated directly with the food of the diet. For oral therapeutic administration, the active compound may be incorporated with excipient and used in the form of ingestible tablets, buccal tablets, troches, capsules, elixirs, suspensions, syrups, wafers, and the like. Such compositions and preparations should contain at least 0.1% of active compound. The percentage of the compositions and preparations may, of course, be varied and may conveniently be between about 2 to about 60% of the weight of the unit. The amount of active compound in such therapeutically useful compositions is such that a suitable dosage will be obtained. Preferred compositions or preparations according to the present invention are prepared so that an oral dosage unit form contains between 50 and 300 mg of active compound.
The tablets, troches, pills, capsules, and the like may also contain the following: 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 and the like; a lubricant such as magnesium stearate; and a sweetening agent such as sucrose, lactose or saccharin may be added or a flavoring agent such as peppermint, oil of wintergreen, or cherry flavoring. When the dosage unit form is a capsule, it may contain, in addition to materials of the above type, a liquid carrier. Various other materials may be present as coatings or to otherwise modify the physical form of the dosage unit. For instance, tablets, pills, or capsules may be coated with shellac, sugar or both. A syrup or elixir may contain the active compound, sucrose as a sweetening agent, methyl and propylparabens as preservatives, a dye and flavoring such as cherry or orange flavor. Of course, any material used in preparing any dosage unit form should be pharmaceutically pure and substantially non-toxic in the amounts employed. In addition, the active compound may be incorporated into sustained release preparations and formulations.
The therapeutic compounds of this invention may be administered to a mammal alone or in combination with pharmaceutically acceptable carriers, as noted above, the proportion of which is determined by the solubility and chemical nature of the compound, chosen route of administration and standard pharmaceutical practice.
The physician will determine the dosage of the present therapeutic agents which will be most suitable for treatment and it will vary with the form of administration and the particular compound chosen, and also, it will vary with the particular patient under treatment. He will generally wish to initiate treatment with small dosages by small increments until the optimum effect under the circumstances is reached. The therapeutic dosage will generally be from 0.1 to 100 .mu.M/kg/day, or from about 0.1 mg to about 50 mg/kg of body weight per day and higher, although it may be administered in several different dosage units. Higher dosages are required for oral administration.

The compounds of the present invention have potent activity as bradykinin inhibitors and as such possess therapeutic value as analgesics.
The following protocols describe assays for detecting bradykinin antagonists and bradykinin antagonist analgesics.
Protocol for Bradykinin Receptor Binding Assay
The purpose of this assay is to identify compounds which compete specifically with tritiated bradykinin (.sup.3 H--BK) for BK.sub.2 receptor sites in guinea pig ileum.
The guinea pig (adult male Hartley strain, 350-500 g, Charles River) is euthanized by stunning followed by decapitation. The distal portion of the ileum is removed and placed in ice cold homogenization buffer (25 mM N-[tris(hydroxymethyl)methyl]-2-aminoethanesulfonic acid (TES), 1 mM 1,10-phenanthroline, adjusted to pH 6.8 with NH.sub.4 OH). The contents of the ileal lumen are rinsed out with cold homogenization buffer. The tissue is cut into small pieces and homogenized in 20 volumes of homogenization buffer.
The homogenate is filtered through a surgical gauze sponge and centrifuged at 50,000.times.g for 20 minutes at 4.degree. C. The supernatant fluid is discarded and the homogenization and centrifugation procedure is repeated. After discarding the supernatant fluid, the final pellet is resuspended in 40 volumes of assay buffer (25 mM TES, pH=6.8, 1 mM 1,10-phenanthroline, 1 mM (2RS, 3RS)-1,4-dimercapto-2,3-butanediol (Cleland's reagent), 2 .mu.M captopril, 140 .mu.g/mL bacitracin and 0.1% bovine serum albumin (BSA)). The homogenate is filtered once more through a surgical gauze sponge and kept on ice until use.
The assay is performed using only polypropylene pipet tips and polypropylene test tubes. Each tube receives 100 .mu.L of 800 pM .sup.3 H--BK, 100 .mu.L of the test compound solution or vehicle (TES assay buffer), and 100 .mu.L of 25 mg/mL tissue homogenate in a total volume of 1 mL. The final concentration of .sup.3 H--BK is 80 pM. The final tissue concentration is 2.5 mg/mL. Compounds are screened at 100 .mu.M or 10 .mu.M. Nonspecific binding is determined in the presence of 1 .mu.M unlabeled bradykinin. All determinations are made in triplicate. Three 100 .mu.L aliquots of the 800 pM .sup.3 H--BK working solution are added directly to scintillation vials to determine the total added radioactivity.
The tubes are incubated for 90 minutes at 25.degree. C. while being gently agitated on an orbital shaker. Bound ligand is separated from free ligand, using Whatman GF/B glass fiber filters (pretreated with 0.1% aqueous polyethyleneimine made neutral with HCl). Assay tubes and glass fiber filters are rinsed three times with 3 mL of cold physiological saline.
The filter discs are transferred to 20 mL scintillation vials. Ten mL of aqueous sample LSC cocktail (Aquassure, New England Nuclear) is added to each vial. After capping, the vials are agitated for 5 minutes on an orbital shaker. The samples are counted for ten minutes in a refrigerated liquid scintillation counter.
The following values are obtained:
B.sub.t : Total binding
B.sub.ns : Nonspecific binding
B.sub.x : Total binding in the presence of the test compound
C: Control specific binding C=B.sub.t -B.sub.ns
D: Specific binding in the presence of the test compound D=B.sub.x -B.sub.ns
Percent of Control: D/C.times.100
Percent Inhibition: (1-D/C).times.100
After calculation of Percent of Control for each dilution, the values are analyzed and the IC.sub.50 with its 95% confidence limits is determined on a Hewlett Packard 9816 computer using the program "PS-NONLIN" (generalized non-linear regression with inverse prediction and graphics).
The test results are reported in the TABLE below under the heading 3H--BK Binding, G. P. Ileum.
Protocol for Bradykinin-induced Writhing in Mice
The purpose of this assay is to determine the ability of test drugs to inhibit the writhing response induced by bradykinin in mice. This test is a primary in vivo screen for bradykinin antagonist analgesics.
Groups of 10 mice each (male CD-1 mice (14-19 g) from Charles River, Kingston, NY, fasted overnight prior to experiment, but having free access to water) are used. Each mouse receives an intraperitoneal injection of 1 mg/kg PGE.sub.2 (0.1 mL/10 g body weight) followed 20 minutes later by an i.p. injection of bradykinin 0.5 mg/kg. The number of writhes per mouse is determined for 2 minutes after bradykinin injection. For a primary screen, drugs are administered orally at 20 mg/kg 1 hour prior to the bradykinin.
The percent inhibition of writhing obtained is calculated as follows: ##EQU1##
Several logarithmically spaced doses are tested and the ED.sub.50 (dose which inhibits the writhing response by 50%) is determined by regression methods with inverse prediction.
The test results are reported in the TABLE below under the heading BK Induced Writhing in Mice.
Protocol for Bradykinin-induced Hyperalgesia in Rats
The purpose of this assay is to evaluate analgesic activity of bradykinin antagonists in an inflammatory pain model in rats.
Animals (female Sprague Dawley rats (Charles River, Kingston, NY) 80-115 gms) are fasted overnight, with water given ad lib, if the compounds are to be administered orally. Ten rats are used per test group and six per normal group.
Test compounds are suspended in 0.5% Tween 80 in distilled water, and are administered orally 1 hour (or i.p. 5 minutes) prior to the injection of bradykinin.
The animals are randomized prior to drug administration in order to make the study blind. Bradykinin is injected, as the phlogistic agent, into the subplantar region of the right hindpaw of the rats, in a 0.01 mg/0.1 mL saline solution. The pain threshold is measured 1 minute later using a modification of the Randall-Selitto method, [Randall, et al., Archives International Pharmacodynamics, VIII N4, p 409-419 (1957)].
Animals are placed in a horizontal position with a hindpaw hanging down on the apparatus. The teflon point is placed on the foot pad and a steady pressure is applied, using a foot pedal. The endpoint is determined when the rat emits a squeak or forcefully attempts to remove its paw from the apparatus. Both paws of each animal are tested in this manner, the left paw serving as a normal control.
Drug effects are expressed as a percent change in pain threshold from bradykinin control values.
The ED.sub.50 and 95% C.L. (dose which increases the pain threshold of the inflamed paw in drug groups by 50% relative to the control group) are determined by linear regression.
