Description
[0001] This application claims the benefit of priority under 35 U.S.C. § 119(a) to German patent application no. 10064398.1, filed on Dec. 21, 2000, and German patent application no. 10152981.3, filed on Oct. 26, 2001. The contents of both priority documents are incorporated by reference herein.
[0002] The invention relates to substituted diphenylazetidinones, to their physiologically acceptable salts and to derivatives having physiological function.
[0003] Diphenylazetidinones (such as, for example, ezetimibe) and their use for treating hyperlipidemia and arteriosclerosis and hypercholesterolemia have already been described [cf. Drugs of the Future 2000, 25(7):679–685 and U.S. Pat. No. 5,756,470].
[0004] It was an object of the invention to provide further compounds having a therapeutically utilizable hypolipidemic action. In particular, it was an object to find novel compounds which, compared to the compounds described in the prior art, are absorbed to a very low extent. Very low absorption is to be understood as meaning an intestinal absorption of less than 10%, preferably less than or equal to 5%. In particular, absorption of the novel compounds should be less than that of ezetimibe. Pharmaceutically active compounds which are absorbed to a very low extent generally have considerably fewer side-effects.
[0005] Accordingly, an embodiment of the invention relates to compounds of the formula I,
in which
in which
- [0006] R1, R2, R3, R4, R5, R6 independently of one another are (C0–C30)-alkylene-(LAG), where one or more carbon atoms of the alkylene radical may be replaced by —O—, —(C═O)—, —CH═CH—, —C≡C—, —N((C1–C6)-alkyl)-, —N((C1–C6)-alkylpenyl) or —NH—; or
- [0007] H, F, Cl, Br, I, CF3, NO2, CN, COOH, COO(C1–C6)-alkyl, CONH2, CONH(C1–C6)-alkyl, CON[(C1–C6)-alkyl]2, (C1–C6)-alkyl, (C2–C6)-alkenyl, (C2–C6)-alkynyl or O—(C1–C6)-alkyl, where one, more or all hydrogens in the alkyl radicals may be replaced by fluorine; or

- [0009] NH2, NH—(C1–C6)-alkyl, N((C1–C6)-alkyl)2, NH(C1–C7)-acyl, phenyl or O—(CH2)n-phenyl, where n=0–6, where the phenyl ring may be mono- to trisubstituted by F, Cl, Br, I, OH, CF3, NO2, CN, OCF3, O—(C1–C6)-alkyl, (C1–C6)-alkyl, NH2, NH(C1–C6)-alkyl, N((C1–C6)-alkyl)2, SO2—CH3COOH, COO—(C1–C6)-alkyl or CONH2;
- [0010] (LAG) is a sugar residue, disugar residue, trisugar residue, tetrasugar residue; a sugar acid, an amino sugar;
- [0011] an amino acid residue, an oligopeptide residue comprising 2 to 9 amino acids; or
- [0012] a trialkylammoniumalkyl radical; or —O—(SO2)—OH;
wherein at least one of the radicals R1 or R6 has the meaning (C0–C30)-alkylene-(LAG), where one or more carbon atoms of the alkylene radical may be replaced by —O—, —(C═O)—, —CH═CH—, —C≡C—, —N((C1–C6)-alkyl)-, —N((C1–C6)-alkylpenyl) or —NH—, and where the radicals R1 and R2 may not have the meaning —O-sugar residue or —O-sugar acid,
and its pharmaceutically acceptable salts.
[0013] Another embodiment of the invention relates to compounds of the formula I, in which at least one of the radicals R1 to R6 has the meaning (C0–C30)-alkylene-(LAG), where one or more carbon atoms of the alkylene radical may be replaced by —O—, —(C═O)—, —N((C1–C6)-alkyl)-, or —NH—.
[0014] Another embodiment of the invention relates to compounds of the formula I, in which one of the radicals R1 or R3 has the meaning (C0–C30)-alkylene-(LAG), where one or more carbon atoms of the alkylene radicals may be replaced by —O—, —(C═O)—, —N(CH3)—, or —NH—.
[0015] Another embodiment of the invention relates to compounds of the formula I, in which one of the radicals R1 or R3 has the meaning —(CH2)0-1—NH—(C═O)0-1—(C0–C25)-alkylene-(C═O)0-1—N(R7)0-1-(LAG); where one or more carbon atoms of the alkylene radical may be replaced by oxygen atoms and where R7 is H or CH3.

[0017] A trialkylammonium alkyl radical is to be understood as meaning the following group
in which n=0 to 10 and Alk1, Alk2, Alk3 independently of one another each denote a straight-chain or branched alkyl radical having 1 to 20 carbon atoms.
in which n=0 to 10 and Alk1, Alk2, Alk3 independently of one another each denote a straight-chain or branched alkyl radical having 1 to 20 carbon atoms.
[0018] Owing to their increased solubility in water, compared to the parent compounds, pharmaceutically acceptable salts are particularly suitable for medical applications. These salts should have a pharmaceutically acceptable anion or cation. Suitable pharmaceutically acceptable acid addition salts of the compounds according to the invention are salts of inorganic acids, such as hydrochloric acid, hydrobromic acid, phosphoric acid, metaphosphoric acid, nitric acid, sulfonic acid and sulfuric acid, and of organic acids, such as acetic acid, benzenesulfonic acid, benzoic acid, citric acid, ethanesulfonic acid, fumaric acid, gluconic acid, glycolic acid, isothionic acid, lactic acid, lactobionic acid, maleic acid, malic acid, methanesulfonic acid, succinic acid, p-toluenesulfonic acid, tartaric acid and trifluoroacetic acid, for example. For medical purposes, very particular preference is given to using the chloride salt. Suitable pharmaceutically acceptable basic salts are ammonium salts, alkali metal salts (such as sodium and potassium salts) and alkaline earth metal salts (such as magnesium and calcium salts).
[0019] The scope of the invention also includes salts having a pharmaceutically unacceptable anion, which salts may be useful intermediates for preparing or purifying pharmaceutically acceptable salts and/or for use in nontherapeutic, for example in vitro, applications.
[0020] Here, the term “derivative having physiological function” refers to any physiologically acceptable derivative of a compound according to the invention, for example an ester, capable of forming, upon administration to a mammal, for example man, to form such a compound or an active metabolite (directly or indirectly).
[0021] A further aspect of this invention are prodrugs of the compounds according to the invention. Such prodrugs can be metabolized in vivo to give a compound according to the invention. These prodrugs may or may not be active in their own right.
[0022] The compounds according to the invention can also be present in various polymorphous forms, for example as amorphous and crystalline polymorphous forms. The scope of the invention includes all polymorphous forms of the compounds according to the invention, which form a further aspect of the invention. The compounds of the invention may also exist in the form of solvates.
[0023] The compounds of the formula I and their pharmaceutically acceptable salts, esters and prodrugs and derivatives having physiological function are ideal medicaments for treating an impaired lipid metabolism, in particular hyperlipidemia. The compounds of the formula I are also suitable for modulating the serum cholesterol concentration and for treating arteriosclerotic manifestations. The compounds of the invention are also suitable for the treatment of insulin resistance.
[0024] As used here, “treatment” or “therapy” of a condition and “treating” a condition can mean successfully eliminating the condition, reducing the effects associated with it, and/or reducing its severity. It also includes administering the relevant compounds to a patient to avoid recurrence of a condition. It also includes avoiding the onset of a condition by administering the relevant compounds to patients falling into a risk group or category for developing the particular condition. Those skilled in the art can routinely identify patients likely to present with a given condition, thereby qualifying as candidates for treatment.
[0025] The compound(s) of the formula (I) can also be administered in combination with other active compounds.
[0026] The amount of a compound of the formula (I) required to achieve the desired biological effect depends on a number of factors, for example on the specific compound chosen, on the intended use, on the mode of administration and on the clinical condition of the patient. In general, the daily dose is in the range from 0.1 mg to 100 mg (typically from 0.1 mg to 50 mg) per day per kilogram of bodyweight, for example 0.1–10 mg/kg/day. Tablets or capsules may contain, for example, from 0.01 to 100 mg, typically from 0.02 to 50 mg. In the case of pharmaceutically acceptable salts, the abovementioned weight data relate to the weight of the diphenyl-azetidinone-ion derived from the salt. For the therapy of the abovementioned conditions, the compounds of the formula (I) can be used themselves as the compound, but preferably they are present in the form of a pharmaceutical composition with an acceptable carrier. The carrier must of course be acceptable in the sense that it is compatible with the other constituents of the composition and is not harmful to the health of the patient. The carrier can be a solid or a liquid or both and is preferably formulated with the compound as an individual dose, for example as a tablet, which can contain from 0.05% to 95% by weight of the active compound. Further pharmaceutically active substances can also be present, including further compounds of the formula (I). The pharmaceutical compositions according to the invention can be prepared by one of the known pharmaceutical methods, which essentially consist in mixing the constituents with pharmacologically acceptable carriers and/or auxiliaries.
[0027] Pharmaceutical compositions according to the invention are those which are suitable for oral or peroral (e.g. sublingual) administration, although the most suitable manner of administration is dependent in each individual case on the nature and severity of the condition to be treated and on the type of the compound of the formula (I) used in each case. Coated formulations and coated delayed-release formulations are also included in the scope of the invention. Acid-resistant and enteric formulations are preferred. Suitable enteric coatings include cellulose acetate phthalate, polyvinyl acetate phthalate, hydroxypropylmethylcellulose phthalate and anionic polymers of methacrylic acid and methylmethacrylate.
[0028] Suitable pharmaceutical compounds for oral administration can be present in separate units, such as, for example, capsules, cachets, lozenges or tablets, which in each case contain a specific amount of the compound of the formula (I); as a powder or granules; as a solution or suspension in an aqueous or nonaqueous liquid; or as an oil-in-water or water-in-oil emulsion. As already mentioned, these compositions can be prepared according to any suitable pharmaceutical method which includes a step in which the active compound and the carrier (which can consist of one or more additional constituents) are brought into contact. In general, the compositions are prepared by uniform and homogeneous mixing of the active compound with a liquid and/or finely divided solid carrier, after which the product, if necessary, is shaped. For example, a tablet can thus be prepared by pressing or shaping a powder or granules of the compound, if appropriate with one or more additional constituents. Pressed tablets can be produced by tableting the compound in free-flowing form, such as, for example, a powder or granules, if appropriate mixed with a binder, lubricant, inert diluent and/or a (number of) surface-active/dispersing agent(s) in a suitable machine. Shaped tablets can be produced by shaping the pulverulent compound moistened with an inert liquid diluent in a suitable machine.
[0029] Pharmaceutical compositions which are suitable for peroral (sublingual) administration include lozenges which contain a compound of the formula (I) with a flavoring, customarily sucrose and gum arabic or tragacanth, and pastilles which include the compound in an inert base such as gelatin and glycerol or sucrose and gum arabic.
[0030] Suitable other active compounds for the combination preparations include: all antidiabetics, mentioned in Rote Liste 2001, Chapter 12, the disclosure of which is incorporated by reference herein. They can be combined with the compounds of the formula I according to the invention in particular to achieve a synergistically enhanced action. The active compound combination can be administered either by separate administration of the active compounds to the patient or in the form of combination preparations comprising a plurality of active compounds in a pharmaceutical preparation.
[0031] Antidiabetics include insulin and insulin derivatives, such as, for example, Lantus® or HMR 1964, GLP-1 derivatives, such as, for example, those disclosed by Novo Nordisk A/S in U.S. Pat.

[0073] Suitable protective groups for the hydroxyl groups of the sugars are substantially: benzyl, acetyl, benzoyl, pivaloyl, trityl, tert-butyidimethylsilyl, benzylidene, cyclohexylidene or isopropylidene protective groups.
[0074] The term “amino acids” or “amino acid residues” refers, for example, to the stereoisomeric forms, i.e. the D or L forms, of the following compounds:
[0075]

N-methylglycine
[0076] For abbreviating the amino acids, the conventional notation was used (cf. Schröder, Lübke, The Peptides, Volume I, New York 1965, pages XXII–XXIII; Houben-Weyl, Methoden der Organischen Chemie [Methods of organic chemistry], Volume XV/1 and 2, Stuttgart 1974). The amino acid pGlu denotes pyroglutamyl, Nal denotes 3-(2-naphthyl)alanine, azagly-NH2 denotes a compound of the formula NH2—NH—CONH2 and D-Asp denotes the D form of aspartic acid. According to their chemical nature, peptides are acid amides, and on hydrolysis they decompose into amino acids.
[0077] An oligopeptide is to be understood as meaning a peptide constructed of 2 to 9 of the amino acids mentioned above.
[0078] Suitable protective groups (see, for example, T. W. Greene, “Protective Groups in Organic Synthesis”) for amino acids are primarily: Arg(Tos), Arg(Mts), Arg(Mtr), Arg(PMV), Asp(OBzl), Asp(OBut), Cys(4-MeBzl), Cys(Acm), Cys(SBut), Glu(Obzl), Glu(Obut), His(Tos), His(Fmoc), His(Dnp), His(Trt), Lys(Cl-Z), Lys(Boc), Met(O), Ser(Bzl), Ser(But), Thr(Bzl), Thr(But), Trp(Mts), Trp(CHO), Tyr(Br-Z), Tyr(Bzl) or Tyr(But).
[0079] Amino protective groups that are preferably used are the benzyloxycarbonyl (Z) radical, which can be removed by catalytic hydrogenation, the 2-(3,5-dimethyloxyphenyl)propyl(2)oxycarbonyl(Ddz) or trityl (Trt) radical, which can be removed by weak acids, and the 9-fluorenylmethyloxycarbonyl (Fmoc) radical, which can be removed using secondary amines.
[0080] The invention furthermore relates to a process for preparing diphenylazetidinone derivatives of formula I.
[0081] Independently of one another, x and y can be from 0 to 10. In compound II, —(CH2)x-NH2 may alternatively also be attached to one of the other two phenyl rings.
[0082] The process for preparing the compounds of the formula I comprises reacting an amine of the formula II with an alkylating or acylating agent which, preferably in the omega position, carries a further functionality—if appropriate in protected form. This functionality is (after deprotection) used for attaching (LAG), for example with the formation of ether, amine or amide bonds.
[0083] The examples below serve to illustrate the invention in more detail, without limiting the invention to the products and embodiments described in the examples.
EXAMPLE I
N-4-[3-(3-Hydroxy-3-phenylpropyl)-2-(4-methoxyphenyl)-4-oxoazetidin-1-yl]-benzyl-5-(2,3,4,5,6-pentahydroxyhexylamino)pentanamide (3)
[0084]
a) N-4-[3-(3-Hydroxy-3-phenylpropyl)-2-(4-methoxyphenyl)-4-oxoazetidin-1-yl]-benzyl-5-bromopentanamide (2)
[0085] 416 mg of 1-(4-aminomethylphenyl)-3-(3-hydroxy-3-phenylpropyl)-4-(4-methoxy-phenyl)azetidin-2-one (1) are dissolved in 10 ml of dried dichloromethane, and 0.2 ml of triethylamine is added. With ice-cooling, 200 mg of 5-bromovaleryl chloride, dissolved in 2 ml of dichloromethane, are added, and the mixture stirred at room temperature for 5 hours. 5 ml of water are added, the mixture is acidified using 0.5 N HCl (pH˜3), the phases are separated, the aqueous phase is washed with a little dichloromethane, the combined organic solutions are dried with sodium sulfate and the residue is, after removal of the solvent, purified by silica gel column filtration. This gives 2 as an oil of molecular weight 579.54 (C31H35BrN2O4) MS (FAB): 581/579 (M+H+).
b) N-4-[3-(3-Hydroxy-3-phenylpropyl)-2-(4-methoxyphenyl)-4-oxoazetidin-1-yl]benzyl-5-(2,3,4,5,6-pentahydroxyhexylamino)pentanamide (3)
[0086] 300 mg of 2 are dissolved in 10 ml of dimethylformamide, and 191 mg of 6-aminohexane-1,2,3,4,5-pentaol are added. The mixture is stirred at 80° C. until the reaction (monitored by thin-layer chromatography) has substantially ended (after about 2 hours). The solvent is then removed under reduced pressure and the residue is chromatographed on silica gel (mobile phase: CH2Cl2/methanol/conc. ammonia=30:10:2). This gives 3 of molecular weight 679.82 (C37H49N3O9); MS (FAB): 680 (M+H+).
EXAMPLE II

[0088] Under argon, 2.5 g of 3-[5-(4-fluorophenyl)-5-hydroxypentanoyl]-4-phenyl-oxazolidin-2-one are dissolved in 30 ml of dichloromethane, 3.9 g of 4-[(4-fluoro-phenylimino)methyl]benzonitrile are added and the mixture is cooled to −10° C. 6.4 ml of diisopropylethylamine are added to this mixture and then, over a period of 3 min, 4.05 ml of trimethylsilyl chloride such that the temperature does not exceed −5° C. At this temperature, the mixture is stirred for another hour, and it is then cooled to −25° C. 0.8 ml of titanium tetrachloride is then added slowly. The dark mixture is stirred at −25 to −30° C. overnight and then decomposed using 35 ml of 7% strength tartaric acid solution, and stirring is continued at room temperature for 1 hour. 15 ml of a 20% strength sodium bicarbonate solution are then added, and the mixture is stirred for another hour. Following phase separation, the org. phase is washed with 30 ml of water, dried over magnesium sulfate and concentrated to about 10 ml. After addition of 2 ml of bistrimethylsilylacetamide, the mixture is heated at reflux for 30 min and then concentrated under reduced pressure. The residue is crystallized with ethyl acetate/heptane. The product is filtered off with suction and dried under reduced pressure. This gives 5 of molecular weight 653.81 (C37H37F2N3O4Si); MS (ESI+): 654.3 (M+H+), 582.2 (M+H+—Si(CH3)3).

[0234] Using the method described below, the activity of the compounds of the formula I according to the invention was examined:
Effect on Cholesterol Absorption+3H-taurocholic Acid Excretion Using Fecal Excrement of Mice, Rats or Hamsters
[0235] NMRI mice, Wistar rats, or Golden Syrian hamsters (in groups of n=4–6) are kept in metabolic cages, where they are fed with a standard diet (Altromin, Lage (Lippe)). The afternoon prior to the administration of the radioactive tracers (14C-cholesterol), the feed is removed and the animals are adapted to grates.
[0236] Additionally, the animals are labeled s.c. with 3H-TCA (taurocholic acid) (for example 1 μCi/mouse up to 5 μCi/rat) 24 hours prior to the peroral administration of the test meal (14C-cholesterol in Intralipid® 20, Pharmacia-Upjohn).
[0237] Cholesterol absorption test: 0.25 ml/mouse Intralipid® 20 (Pharmacia-Upjohn) ((spiked with 0.25 μCi of 14C-cholesterol in 0.1 mg of cholesterol) is administered perorally by gavage.
[0238] Test substances are prepared separately in 0.5% methylcellulose (Sigma)/5% Solutol (BASF, Ludwigshafen) or a suitable vehicle.
[0239] The administration volume of the test substance is 0.5 ml/mouse. The test substance is administered immediately prior to the test meal (Intralipid labeled with 14C-cholesterol) (cholesterol absorption test).
[0240] The feces are collected over a period of 24 h: fecal elimination of 14C-cholesterol and 3H-taurocholic acid (TCA) is determined after 24 hours.
[0241] The livers are removed and homogenized, and aliquots are incinerated in an oximate (Model 307, Packard) to determine the amount of 14C-cholesterol which had been taken up/absorbed.
Evaluation
Feces Samples
[0242] The total weight is determined, the sample is made up with water to a defined volume and then homogenized, and an aliquot is evaporated to dryness and incinerated in an oximate (Model 307 from Packard for the incineration of radioactively labeled samples): the amount of radioactive 3H—H2O and 14C—CO2 is extrapolated to the amount of 3H-taurocholic acid and 14C-cholesterol, respectively, that is excreted (dual isotope technique). The ED200 values as dose from a dose-effect curve are interpolated as those doses at which the excretion of TCA or cholesterol is doubled, based on a control group treated at the same time.
Liver Samples
[0243] The amount of 14C-cholesterol taken up by the liver is based on the administered dose. The ED50 values are interpolated from a dose-effect curve as the dose at which the uptake of 14C-cholesterol by the liver is halved (50%), based on a control group.
[0244] The ED50 values below demonstrate the activity of the compounds of the formula I according to the invention
[0245]
| Example No. | ED50 (liver) [mg/mouse] | |
|---|---|---|
| II | 0.1 | |
| III | 0.003 | |
| XIII | 0.3 | |
| XV | 0.01 | |
| XVIII | 1.0 | |
| XX | 0.03 | |
| XXI | 1.0 | |
| XXIV | 0.3 | |
| XXV | 0.3 | |
| XXX | 0.1 | |
[0246] As can be seen from the table, the compounds of the formula I have very good cholesterol-lowering action. The compounds can thus be used to control cholesterol concentration. Such control can be by lowering the cholesterol concentation, or maintaining a desired level of cholesterol concentation.
Bioabsorption
[0247] The bioabsorption of the compounds of the formula I can be examined using the Caco cell model (A. R. Hilgers et al., Caco-2 cell monolayers as a model for drug transport across the intestinal mucosa, Pharm. Res. 1990, 7, 902).
