Description
CROSS-REFERENCE TO RELATED APPLICATIONS
[0011] This application claims the benefit of the priority of U.S. Provisional Patent Application No. 60/183,050, filed May 4, 1999.
BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION
[0012] Intracellular receptors (IR) form a class of structurally related gene regulators known as “ligand dependent transcription factors” (R. M. Evans, Science,240, 889, 1988). The steroid receptor family is a subset of the IR family, including progesterone receptor (PR), estrogen receptor (ER), androgen receptor (AR), glucocorticoid receptor (GR), and mineralocorticoid receptor (MR).
[0013] The natural hormone, or ligand, for the PR is the steroid progesterone, but synthetic compounds, such as medroxyprogesterone acetate or levonorgestrel, have been made which also serve as ligands. Once a ligand is present in the fluid surrounding a cell, it passes through the membrane via passive diffusion, and binds to the IR to create a receptor/ligand complex. This complex binds to specific gene promoters present in the cell's DNA. Once bound to the DNA the complex modulates the production of mRNA and protein encoded by that gene.
[0014] A compound that binds to an IR and mimics the action of the natural hormone is termed an agonist, whilst a compound that inhibits the effect of the hormone is an antagonist.
[0015] PR agonists (natural and synthetic) are known to play an important role in the health of women. PR agonists are used in birth control formulations, typically in the presence of an ER agonist, alternatively they may be used in conjunction with a PR antagonist. ER agonists are used to treat the symptoms of menopause, but have been associated with a proliferative effect on the uterus that can lead to an increased risk of uterine cancers. Co-administration of a PR agonist reduces or ablates that risk.

West. Pharmacol. Soc.21, 51-55(1978)). More recently, a number of patents (e.g., Young et al WO95/20389; Christ et al. WO98/14436) claimed quinazolin-2-ones and benzoxazin-2-ones such as compounds AA and BB as inhibitors of HIV reverse transcriptase.

Salts may also be formed from inorganic bases, preferably alkali metal salts, for example, sodium, lithium, or potassium, and organic bases, such as ammonium, mono-, di-, and trimethylammonium, mono-, di- and triethylammonium, mono-, di- and tripropylammonium (iso and normal), ethyldimethylammonium, benzyldimethylammonium, cyclohexylammonium, benzylammonium, dibenzylammonium, piperidinium, morpholinium, pyrrolidinium, piperazinium, 1-methylpiperidinium, 4-ethylmorpholinium, 1-iso-propylpyrrolidinium, 1,4-dimethylpiperazinium, 1-n-butyl piperidinium, 2-methylpiperidinium, 1-ethyl-2-methylpiperidinium, mono-, di- and triethanolammonium, ethyl diethanolammonium, n-butylmonoethanolammonium, tris(hydroxymethyl)methylammonium, phenylmonoethanolammonium, and the like.
[0081] The compounds of this invention were be prepared according to the following schemes from commercially available starting materials or starting materials which can be prepared using literature procedures. These schemes show the preparation of representative compounds of this invention.
[0082] According to scheme 1, commercially available oxindole 4 is treated with a strong organo-metallic base (e.g., butyl lithium lithium diisopropylamide, potassium hexamethyldisilazide) in an inert solvent (e.g. THF, diethyl ether) under nitrogen at reduced temperature (ca. −20° C.) (Kende, et al, Synth. Commun.12, 1, 1982). The resulting di-anion then is treated with excess electrophile such as an alkyl halide, preferably an iodide. If R1and R2are to be joined such as the product 5 contains a spirocycle at position 3, then the electrophile should be bifunctional, i.e. a diiodide. Subsequent bromination of 5 proceeds smoothly with bromine in acetic acid (an organic co-solvent such as dichloromethane may be added as required) in the presence of sodium acetate, to afford the aryl bromide 6. The bromide 6 is reacted with a palladium salt (e.g., tetrakis(triphenylphoshine)palladium(0) or palladium acetate), in a suitable solvent (e.g., THF, dimethoxyethane, acetone, ethanol or toluene) at room temperature under an inert atmosphere (argon, nitrogen). The mixture is then treated with pyrrole 2-boronic acid (Synthesis613, 1991) and a base (potassium carbonate, triethylamine, potassium phosphate) in water or fluoride source (cesium fluoride) under anhydrous conditions. Treatment of the biaryl compound 7 with chlorosulfonyl isocyanate followed by an excess of DMF at low temperature produces the protected cyanopyrrole 8. Removal of the tert-butyloxycarbonyl (BOC) protecting group via standard conditions (e.g., TFA/dichloromethane, aqueous NaOH, thermolysis) produces the required final product which is purified by standard means.
[0083] As depicted in Scheme 2, an appropriately substituted ortho-amino benzoic acid, or derivative (such as ethyl ester) 10 is treated with a suitable organometallic reagent, e.g., Grignard reagent, in appropriate nonprotic solvents (e.g., THF, ether, toluene) under an inert atmosphere such as argon or nitrogen at −78° C. to room temperature to give ortho-amino carbinol 11. Ring closure of carbinol 11 to yield benzoxazin-2-ones 12 is commonly effected by a condensing agent (e.g., carbonyldiimidazole, phosgene, dimethylcarbonate, diethylcarbonate) in a suitable nonprotic solvent (e.g., THF, ether, toluene) at temperatures in the range of room temperature to 65° C. The pyrrole ring is attached to this platform by employing a suitable coupling reaction (e.g., Suzuki, Stille) to give the biaryl 13. These reactions are performed in the presence of suitable catalyst (e.g., palladium or nickel complexes often with phosphino ligands, e.g., Ph3P, dppf, dppe or palladium salts such as palladium acetate) and a base: the commonly used bases include (but are not limited to) sodium bicarbonate, sodium carbonate, potassium phosphate, barium carbonate, potassium acetate, or cesium fluoride. The most commonly used solvents in these reactions include benzene, DMF, isopropanol, ethanol, DME, ether, acetone or a mixture of any one of these solvent and water. The coupling reaction generally is executed under an inert atmosphere such as nitrogen or argon at temperatures ranging from room temperature to 95° C. Treatment of the biaryl compound 13 with chlorosulfonyl isocyanate followed by an excess of DMF at low temperature produces the protected cyanopyrrole 14. Removal of the tert-butyloxycarbonyl (BOC) protecting group via standard conditions (e.g., TFA/dichloromethane, aqueous NaOH, thermolysis) produces the required final product 15 which is purified by standard means.
[0084] The compounds of this invention are progestational agonists, and are therefore useful as oral contraceptives (male and female), in hormone replacement therapy (particularly when combined with an estrogen), in the treatment of endometriosis, luteal phase defects, benign breast and prostatic diseases and prostatic, breast, ovarian, uterine and endometrial cancers.
[0085] The compounds of this invention can be used alone as a sole therapeutic agent or can be used in combination with other agents, such as other estrogens, progestins, or androgens.
[0086] The compounds of this invention can be formulated neat or with a pharmaceutical carrier for administration, the proportion of which is determined by the solubility and chemical nature of the compound, chosen route of administration and standard pharmacological practice. The pharmaceutical carrier may be solid or liquid.
[0087] A solid carrier can include one or more substances which may also act as flavoring agents, lubricants, solubilizers, suspending agents, fillers, glidants, compression aids, binders or tablet-disintegrating agents; it can also be an encapsulating material. In powders, the carrier is a finely divided solid which is in admixture with the finely divided active ingredient. In tablets, the active ingredient is mixed with a carrier having the necessary compression properties in suitable proportions and compacted in the shape and size desired. The powders and tablets preferably contain up to 99% of the active ingredient. Suitable solid carriers include, for example, calcium phosphate, magnesium stearate, talc, sugars, lactose, dextrin, starch, gelatin, cellulose, methyl cellulose, sodium carboxymethyl cellulose, polyvinylpyrrolidine, low melting waxes and ion exchange resins.
[0088] Liquid carriers are used in preparing solutions, suspensions, emulsions, syrups, elixirs and pressurized compositions. The active ingredient can be dissolved or suspended in a pharmaceutically acceptable liquid carrier such as water, an organic solvent, a mixture of both or pharmaceutically acceptable oils or fats. The liquid carrier can contain other suitable pharmaceutical additives such as solubilizers, emulsifiers, buffers, preservatives, sweeteners, flavoring agents, suspending agents, thickening agents, colors, viscosity regulators, stabilizers or osmo-regulators. Suitable examples of liquid carriers for oral and parenteral administration include water (partially containing additives as above, e.g. cellulose derivatives, preferably sodium carboxymethyl cellulose solution), alcohols (including monohydric alcohols and polyhydric alcohols, e.g. glycols) and their derivatives, lethicins, and oils (e.g. fractionated coconut oil and arachis oil). For parenteral administration, the carrier can also be an oily ester such as ethyl oleate and isopropyl myristate. Sterile liquid carriers are useful in sterile liquid form compositions for parenteral administration. The liquid carrier for pressurized compositions can be halogenated hydrocarbon or other pharmaceutically acceptable propellant.
[0089] Liquid pharmaceutical compositions which are sterile solutions or suspensions can be utilized by, for example, intramuscular, intraperitoneal or subcutaneous injection. Sterile solutions can also be administered intravenously. The compounds of this invention can also be administered orally either in liquid or solid composition form.
[0090] The compounds of this invention may be administered rectally or vaginally in the form of a conventional suppository. For administration by intranasal or intrabronchial inhalation or insufflation, the compounds of this invention may be formulated into an aqueous or partially aqueous solution, which can then be utilized in the form of an aerosol. The compounds of this invention may also be administered transdermally through the use of a transdermal patch containing the active compound and a carrier that is inert to the active compound, is non toxic to the skin, and allows delivery of the agent for systemic absorption into the blood stream via the skin. The carrier may take any number of forms such as creams and ointments, pastes, gels, and occlusive devices. The creams and ointments may be viscous liquid or semisolid emulsions of either the oil-in-water or water-in-oil type. Pastes comprised of absorptive powders dispersed in petroleum or hydrophilic petroleum containing the active ingredient may also be suitable. A variety of occlusive devices may be used to release the active ingredient into the blood stream such as a semipermeable membrane covering a reservoir containing the active ingredient with or without a carrier, or a matrix containing the active ingredient. Other occlusive devices are known in the literature.
[0091] The dosage requirements vary with the particular compositions employed, the route of administration, the severity of the symptoms presented and the particular subject being treated. Based on the results obtained in the standard pharmacological test procedures, projected daily dosages of active compound would be 0.02 μg/kg-750 μg/kg. Treatment will generally be initiated with small dosages less than the optimum dose of the compound. Thereafter the dosage is increased until the optimum effect under the circumstances is reached; precise dosages for oral, parenteral, nasal, or intrabronchial administration will be determined by the administering physician based on experience with the individual subject treated. Preferably, the pharmaceutical composition is in unit dosage form, e.g. as tablets or capsules. In such form, the composition is sub-divided in unit dose containing appropriate quantities of the active ingredient; the unit dosage forms can be packaged compositions, for example, packaged powders, vials, ampoules, pre filled syringes or sachets containing liquids. The unit dosage form can be, for example, a capsule or tablet itself, or it can be the appropriate number of any such compositions in package form.
[0092] The following provides the preparation of representative compounds of this invention.
EXAMPLE 1
5-(4,4-Dimethyl-2-oxo-1,4-dihydro-2H-benzo[d][1,3]oxazin-6-yl)-1H-pyrrole-2-carbonitrile
[0093] A solution of 2-amino-5-bromobenzoic acid (10 g, 46 mmol) in dry THF (200 mL) was treated at −78° C. under nitrogen with a solution of methylmagnesium bromide in ether (3.0 M, 90 mL, 270 mmol). The reaction mixture was slowly warmed to ambient temperature, kept stirring for 48 hours under nitrogen and then poured into a cold 0.5 N aqueous hydrochloride solution (300 mL). The mixture was neutralized with aqueous 1 N sodium hydroxide solution and ethyl acetate (300 mL) was added. The organic layer was separated and aqueous layer was extracted with ethyl acetate (3×100 mL). The combined organic layers were washed with brine and dried (MgSO4). After removal of solvent in vacuo, the residue was purified by a silica gel flash chromatography (hexane:ethyl acetate/3:2) to give 2-(2-amino-5-bromophenyl)propan-2-ol as an off-white solid (6 g, 57%): mp 62-63° C.; 1H-NMR (CDCl3) δ7.19 (d, 1H, J=2.3 Hz), 7.12 (dd, 1H, J=8.4, 2.3 Hz), 6.51 (d, 1H, J=8.4 Hz), 4.70 (s, 2H), 1.82 (s, 1H), 1.65 (s, 6H).
[0094] To a solution of 2-(2-amino-5-bromophenyl)propan-2-ol (18 g, 78 mmol) in dry THF (150 mL) was added 1,1′-carbonyldiimidazole (15.5 g, 94 mmol) under nitrogen. The reaction solution was heated at 50° C. overnight. The solvent was removed in vacuo and the residue was dissolved in ethyl acetate (100 mL). The solution was washed with 1N aqueous hydrochloride solution (2×40 mL), brine (20 mL), and dried with MgSO4.

[0095] A solution of 6-bromo-4,4-dimethyl-1,4-dihydro-benzo[d][1,3]oxazin-2-one (5.0 g, 20 mmol) and tetrakis(triphenylphosphine)palladium(0) (580 mg, 0.5 mmol) in toluene (200 mL) was stirred under a flow of nitrogen for 25 min. To the solution was added sequentially 1-tert-butoxycarbonylpyrrole-2-boronic acid (8.24 g, 39 mmol) in absolute ethanol (50 mL) and potassium carbonate (5.39 g, 39 mmol) in water (50 mL). The mixture was heated to 80° C. for 16 h and allowed to cool. The reaction mixture was poured into aqueous saturated sodium bicarbonate solution (200 mL) and extracted with ethyl acetate (3×200 mL). The organic layers were combined, washed with water (200 mL) and brine (100 mL) and dried over magnesium sulfate. The solution was filtered, concentrated in vacuo, and the residue was purified by flash column chromatography on silica gel (30% ethyl acetate/hexane) to give 2-(4,4-dimethyl-2-oxo-1,4-dihydro-2H-benzo[d][1,3]oxazin-6-yl)-pyrrole-1-carboxylic acid tert-butyl ester (4.0 g, 58%) as a tan solid, mp 172-173° C.
[0096] To a solution of 2-(4,4-dimethyl-2-oxo-1,4-dihydro-2H-benzo[d][1,3]oxazin-6-yl)-pyrrole-1-carboxylic acid tert-butyl ester (2.0 g, 5.8 mmol) in THF (anhydrous, 50 mL) at −78° C. was added chlorosulfone isocyanate (0.66 mL, 6.7 mmol). After 90 min, DMF (9 mL, 116 mmol) was added and the reaction was allowed to warm to room temperature. The reaction mixture was poured into water (50 mL) and extracted with ethyl acetate (2×50 mL). The organic layers were combined, washed with brine (50 mL), dried over magnesium sulfate, filtered and concentrated in vacuo. Purification via flash column chromatography on silica gel (30% ethyl acetate/hexane) gave 2-(4,4-dimethyl-2-oxo-1,4-dihydro-2H-benzo[d][1,3]oxazin-6-yl)-5-cyano-pyrrole-1-carboxylic acid tert-butyl ester (1.1 g, 52%) as a white powder, mp 165-167° C. 1H NMR (d6-DMSO, 300 MHz) δ1.36 (s, 9H), 1.61 (s, 6 H), 6.44 (d, 1 H, J=3.7 Hz), 6.92 (d, 1 H, J=8.2 Hz), 7.27-7.32 (m, 2 H), 7.36 (‘d’, 1 H, J=1.5 Hz), 10.36 (s, 1 H).
