Description
CROSS-REFERENCE TO RELATED APPLICATIONS
[0001] This application claims the benefit of the priority of U.S. Provisional Patent Application No. 60/509,930, filed Oct. 9, 2003.
BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION
[0002] The present invention relates to compounds that are useful as modulators of the progesterone receptor, their preparation and use thereof.
[0003] Intracellular receptors (IR) form a class of structurally related gene regulators known as “ligand dependent transcription factors”. 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).
[0004] 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 PR 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 the protein encoded by that gene.
[0005] A compound that binds to an IR and mimics the action of the natural hormone is termed an agonist. Conversely, a compound which inhibits the effect of the hormone is an antagonist.
[0006] 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, either along or in the presence of an ER agonist. ER agonists are used to treat the symptoms of menopause, but have been associated with a proliferative effect on the uterus which can lead to an increased risk of uterine cancers. Co-administration of a PR agonist reduces/ablates that risk.
[0007] PR antagonists can also be used in contraception. In this context they can be administered alone, in combination with a PR agonist, or in combination with a partial ER antagonist such as tamoxifen.
[0008] PR antagonists can also be useful for the treatment of hormone dependent breast cancers as well as uterine and ovarian cancers. PR antagonists can also be useful for the treatment of non-malignant chronic conditions such as uterine fibroids and endometriosis.
[0009] PR antagonists can also be useful in hormone replacement therapy for post menopausal patients in combination with a partial ER antagonist such as tamoxifen.
[0010] PR antagonists, such as mifepristone and onapristone, have been shown to be effective in a model of hormone dependent prostate cancer, which can indicate their utility in the treatment of this condition in men.
[0011] What are needed are other compounds which function as PR modulators, including PR agonists or antagonists.
SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION
[0012] In one aspect, compounds of formula I, pharmaceutically acceptable salts, tautomers, and prodrugs thereof, are provided.
[0013]
[0014] Compounds of formula I bind to the progesterone receptor and function as progesterone receptor modulators.
[0015] In a further aspect, compounds of formula I can be used for contraception; in the treatment of uterine fibroids, endometriosis, dysmenorrhea, breast cancer, uterine caner, ovarian cancer, prostate cancer, and meningioma; hormone replacement therapy, including perimenopausal, menopausal, and post-menopausal hormone replacement therapy; and in the treatment of skin disorders, including acne and hirsutism.
[0016] In yet another aspect, pharmaceutical compositions containing a compound of formula I and a physiologically compatible carrier are provided.
[0017] In a further aspect, methods for preparing compounds of formula I are provided.
[0018] In another aspect, kits containing one or more compounds of formula I and a physiologically compatible carrier are provided.
[0019] Other aspects and advantages of the present invention are described further in the following detailed description of the preferred embodiments thereof.
DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION
[0020] The term “tautomer” is meant to describe a compound which can exist in more than one isomeric state.
[0021] The term “skin” is meant to describe the outer covering of a mammalian form including, without limitation, the epidermis, dermis, and subcutaneous tissues. Typically, the skin can include other components such as hair follicles and sweat glands.
[0022] The term “acne” is meant to include any skin disorder where a skin pore becomes blocked and/or thereby becomes inflamed. The term acne includes, without limitation, superficial acne, including comedones, inflamed papules, superficial cysts, pustules, and deep acne, including deep inflamed modules and pus-filled cysts. Specific acne conditions can include, but are not limited to, acne vulgaris, acne comedo, papular acne, premenstrual acne, preadolescent acne, acne venenata, acne cosmetica, pomade acne, acne detergicans, acne excoriee, gram negative acne, acne rosacea, pseudofolliculitis barbae, folliculitis, perioral dermatitis, and hiddradenitis suppurativa.
[0023] The term “hirsutism” is meant to describe a skin disorder where an overgrowth of hair is observed in areas of the body which are not normally subject to excessive hair growth.
[0024] A number of skin disorders can be treated according to the methods of the present invention and include skin disorders of the hair follicles and sebaceous glands. Preferably, skin disorders such as acne and hirsutism, among others, can be treated according to the present invention.
[0025] Other skin disorders can include dry/chapped skin, seboria, psoriasis, or alopecia. The invention is also useful for treating the skin against the effects of environmental conditions.
[0026] As used herein, the terms “anti-progestational agents”, “anti-progestins” and “progesterone receptor antagonists” are understood to be synonymous. Similarly, “progestins”, “progestational agents” and “progesterone receptor agonists” are understood to refer to compounds of the same activity.
[0027] The term “room temperature” is meant to describe a temperature of about 23 to about 25° C. However, one of skill in the art would readily understand that the specific room temperature can vary depending upon the experimental conditions.

Suitable acids that can be used include trifluoroacetic acid (TFA) or an aqueous hydrochloride solution, preferably a 3 N aqueous hydrochloride solution.

[0301] A. T47D Cell Proliferation Assay
[0302] 1. Objective:
[0303] Determination of progestational and antiprogestational potency was preformed by using a cell proliferation assay in T47D cells. A compound's effect an DNA synthesis in T47D cells was measured.
[0304] 2. Methods:
[0305] a. Reagents:
[0306] Growth medium: DMEM:F12 (1:1) (GIBCO, BRL) supplemented with 10% (v/v) fetal bovine serum (not heat-inactivated), 100 U/mL penicillin, 100 mg/mL streptomycin, and 2 mM GlutaMax (GIBCO, BRL).
[0307] Treatment medium: Minimum Essential Medium (MEM)(#51200-038GIBCO, BRL) phenol red-free supplemented with 0.5% charcoal stripped fetal bovine serum, 100 U/mL penicillin, 200 mg/mL streptomycin, and 2 mM GlutaMax (GIBCO, BRL).
[0308] b. Cell Culture:
[0309] Stock T47 D cells were maintained in growth medium. For BrdU incorporation assay, cells were plated in 96-well plates (Falcon, Becton Dickinson Labware) at 10,000 cells/well in growth medium. After overnight incubation, the medium was changed to treatment medium and cells were cultured for an additional 24 hours before treatment. Stock compounds were dissolved in appropriate vehicle (100% ethanol or 50% ethanol/50% DMSO), subsequently diluted in treatment medium and added to the cells. Progestin and antiprogestin reference compounds were run in full dose-response curves. The final concentration of vehicle was 0.1%. In control wells, cells receive vehicle only. Antiprogestins were tested in the presence of 0.03 nM trimegestone, the reference progestin agonist. Twenty-four hours after treatment, the medium was discarded and cells were labeled with 10 mM BrdU (Amersham Life Science, Arlington Heights, Ill.) in treatment medium for 4 hours.
[0310] c. Cell Proliferation Assay:
[0311] At the end of BrdU labeling, the medium was removed and BrdU incorporation was measured using a cell proliferation ELISA kit (#RPN 250, Amersham Life Science) according to manufacturer's instructions. Briefly, cells were fixed in ethanol containing fixative for 30 minutes, followed by incubation in a blocking buffer for 30 minutes to reduce background. Peroxidase-labeled anti-BrdU antibody was added to the wells and incubated for 60 minutes. The cells were rinsed three times with PBS and incubated with 3,3′,5,5′-tetramethylbenzidine (TMB) substrate for 10-20 minutes depending upon the potency of tested compounds. Then 25 μL of 1 M sulfuric acid was added to each well to stop color reaction and optical density read in a plate reader at 450 nm within 5 minutes.
[0312] 3. Analysis of Results:
[0313] Square root-transformed data were used for analysis of variance and nonlinear dose response curve fitting for both agonist and antagonist modes. Huber weighting was used to downweight the effects of outliers. EC50 or IC50 values were calculated from the retransformed values. JMP software (SAS Institute, Inc.) was used for both one-way analysis of variance and non-linear dose response analyses in both single dose and dose response studies.
[0314] 4. Reference Compounds:
[0315] Trimegestone and medroxyprogesterone acetate (MPA) were reference progestins and RU486 was the reference antiprogestin. All reference compounds were run in full dose-response curves and the EC50 or IC50 values were calculated.

[0318] B. Rat Decidualization Assay
[0319] 1. Objective:
[0320] This procedure was used to evaluate the effect of progestins and antiprogestins on rat uterine decidualization and compare the relative potencies of various test compounds.
[0321] 2. Methods:
[0322] a. Reagents
[0323] Test compounds were dissolved in 100% ethanol and mixed with corn oil (vehicle). Stock solutions of the test compounds in oil (Mazola™) were then prepared by heating (˜80° C.) the mixture to evaporate the ethanol. Test compounds were subsequently diluted with 100% corn oil or 10% ethanol in corn oil prior to the treatment of animals. No difference in decidual response was found when these two vehicles were compared.
[0324] b. Animals (RACUC Protocol#5002)
[0325] Ovariectomized mature female Sprague-Dawley rats (˜60-day old and 230 g) were obtained from Taconic (Taconic Farms, N.Y.) following surgery. Ovariectomy was performed at least 10 days prior to treatment to reduce circulating sex steroids. Animals were housed under 12 hr light/dark cycle and given standard rat chow and water ad libitum.
[0326] c. Treatment
[0327] Rats were weighed and randomly assigned to groups of 4 or 5 before treatment. Test compounds in 0.2 mL vehicle were administered by subcutaneous injection in the nape of the neck or by gavage using 0.5 mL. The animals were treated once daily for seven days. For testing antiprogestins, animals were given the test compounds and an EC50 dose of progesterone (5.6 mg/kg) during the first three days of treatment. Following decidual stimulation, animals continued to receive progesterone until necropsy four days later.
[0328] d. Dosing
[0329] Doses were prepared based upon mg/kg mean group body weight. In all studies, a control group receiving vehicle was included. Determination of dose-response curves was carried out using doses with half log increases (e.g. 0.1, 0.3, 1.0, 3.0 mg/kg).
[0330] e. Decidual Induction
[0331] Approximately 24 hours after the third injection, decidualization was induced in one of the uterine horns by scratching the antimesometrial luminal epithelium with a blunt 21 G needle. The contralateral horn was not scratched and served as an unstimulated control. Approximately 24 hours following the final treatment, rats were sacrificed by CO2 asphyxiation and body weight measured. Uteri were removed and trimmed of fat. Decidualized (D-horn) and control (C-horn) uterine horns were weighed separately.
[0332] 3. Analysis of Results:
[0333] The increase in weight of the decidualized uterine horn was calculated by D-horn/C-horn and logarithmic transformation was used to maximize normality and homogeneity of variance. The Huber M-estimator was used to down weight the outlying transformed observations for both dose-response curve fitting and one-way analysis of variance. JMP software (SAS Institute, Inc.) was used for both one-way ANOVA and non-linear dose-response analyses.
[0334] 4. Reference Compounds:
[0335] All progestin reference compounds were run in full dose-response curves and the EC50 for uterine wet weight was calculated.

Co-transfection was performed using 1.2×107 cells, 5 mg pLEM plasmid with hPR-B inserted at Sph1 and BamH1 sites, 10 mg pGL3 plasmid with two PREs upstream of the luciferase sequence, and 50 mg sonicated calf thymus DNA as carrier DNA in 250 mL. Electroporation was carried out at 260 V and 1,000 mF in a Biorad Gene Pulser II. After electroporation, cells were resuspended in growth medium and plated in 96-well plate at 40,000 cells/well in 200 μL. Following overnight incubation, the medium was changed to experimental medium. Cells were then treated with reference or test compounds in experimental medium. Compounds were tested for antiprogestational activity in the presence of 3 nM progesterone. Twenty-four hours after treatment, the medium was discarded, cells were washed three times with D-PBS (GIBCO, BRL). Fifty mL of cell lysis buffer (Promega, Madison, Wis.) was added to each well and the plates were shaken for 15 minutes in a Titer Plate Shaker (Lab Line Instrument, Inc.). Luciferase activity was measured using luciferase reagents from Promega.
[0358] c. Analysis of Results:
[0359] Each treatment consisted of at least 4 replicates. Log transformed data were used for analysis of variance and nonlinear dose response curve fitting for both agonist and antagonist modes. Huber weighting was used to downweight the effects of outliers. EC50 or IC50 values were calculated from the retransformed values. JMP software (SAS Institute, Inc.) was used for both one-way analysis of variance and non-linear response analyses.
[0360] d. Reference Compounds:
[0361] Progesterone and trimegestone were reference progestins and RU486 was the reference antiprogestin. All reference compounds were run in full dose-response curves and the EC50 or IC50 values were calculated.

[0366] D. T47D Cell Alkaline Phosphatase Assay
[0367] 1. Purpose:
[0368] To identify progestins or antiprogestins by determining a compound's effect on alkaline phosphatase activity in T47D cells.
[0369] 2. Methods:
[0370] a. Reagents:
[0371] Culture medium: DMEM:F12 (1:1) (GIBCO, BRL) supplemented with 5% (v/v) charcoal stripped fetal bovine serum (not heat-inactivated), 100 U/mL penicillin, 100 mg/mL streptomycin, and 2 mM GlutaMax (GIBCO, BRL).
[0372] Alkaline phosphatase assay buffer:
[0373] I. 0.1 M Tris-HCl, pH 9.8, containing 0.2% Triton X-100
[0374] II. 0.1 M Tris-HCl, pH 9.8 containing 4 mM p-nitrophenyl phosphate (Sigma).
[0375] b. Cell Culture and Treatment:
[0376] Frozen T47D cells were thawed in a 37° C. water bath and diluted to 280,000 cells/mL in culture medium. To each well in a 96-well plate (Falcon, Becton Dickinson Labware), 180 μL of diluted cell suspension was added. Twenty μL of reference or test compounds diluted in the culture medium was then added to each well. When testing for progestin antagonist activity, reference antiprogestins or test compounds were added in the presence of 1 nM progesterone. The cells were incubated at 37° C. in a 5% CO2/humidified atmosphere for 24 hours. Note: For high throughput screening, one concentration of each compound was tested at 0.3 mg/mL. Based on an average molecular weight of 300 g/mol for the compounds in the library, the concentration was approximately 1 mM. Subsequently, active compounds were tested in dose response assays to determine EC50 or IC50
[0377] c. Alkaline Phosphatase Enzyme Assay:
[0378] At the end of treatment, the medium was removed from the plate. Fifty μL of assay buffer I was added to each well. The plates were shaken in a titer plate shaker for 15 minutes. Then 150 μL of assay buffer II was added to each well. Optical density measurements were taken at 5 minute intervals for 30 minutes at a test wavelength of 405 nM.
[0379] d. Analysis of Results:
[0380] Analysis of Dose-Response Data
[0381] For reference and test compounds, a dose response curve was generated for dose (X-axis) vs. the rate of enzyme reaction (slope) (Y-axis). Square root-transformed data were used for analysis of variance and nonlinear dose response curve fitting for both agonist and antagonist modes. Huber weighting was used to downweight the effects of outliers. EC50 or IC50 values were calculated from the retransformed values. JMP software (SAS Institute, Inc.) was used for both one-way analysis of variance and non-linear dose response analyses in both single dose and dose response studies.
[0382] Reference Compounds: Progesterone and trimegestone were reference progestins and RU486 was the reference antiprogestin. All reference compounds were run in full dose response curves and the EC50 or IC50 values were calculated.
