FILED OF THE E ENTION

The invention relates to stabilization of sweet enhancers in liquid compositions.

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION

The taste system provides sensory information about the chemical composition of the external world. Taste transduction is one of the most sophisticated forms of chemical-triggered sensation in animals. Signaling of taste is found throughout the animal kingdom, from simple metazoans to the most complex of vertebrates. Mammals are believed to have five basic taste modalities: sweet, bitter, sour, salty, and umami (the taste of monosodium glutamate, a.k.a. savory taste).

Obesity, diabetes, and cardiovascular disease are health concerns on the rise globally, but are growing at alarming rates in the United States. Sugar and calories are key components that can be limited to render a positive nutritional effect on health. High-intensity sweeteners can provide the sweetness of sugar, with various taste qualities. Because they are many times sweeter than sugar, much less of the sweetener is required to replace the sugar.

High-intensity sweeteners have a wide range of chemically distinct structures and hence possess varying properties, such as, without limitation, odor, flavor, mouthfeel, and aftertaste. These properties, particularly flavor and aftertaste, are well known to vary over the time of tasting, such that each temporal profile is sweetener-specific (Tunaley, A., "Perceptual Characteristics of Sweeteners", Progress in Sweeteners, T. H. Grenby, Ed. Elsevier Applied Science, 1989).

Sweeteners such as saccharin and 6-methyl-l ,2,3-oxathiazin-4(3H)-one-2,2-dioxide potassium salt (acesulfame potassium) are commonly characterized as having bitter and/or metallic aftertastes. Products prepared with 2,4-dihydroxybenzoic acid are claimed to display reduced undesirable aftertastes associated with sweeteners, and do so at concentrations below those concentrations at which their own tastes are perceptible. Also, high intensity sweeteners such as sucralose and aspartame are reported to have sweetness delivery problems, i.e., delayed onset and lingering of sweetness (S. G. Wiet, et al, J. Food Sci., 58(3):599-602, 666 (1993)).

It has been reported that an extra-cellular domain, e.g. , the Venus flytrap domain of a chemosensory receptor, especially one or more interacting sites within the Venus flytrap domain, is a suitable target for compounds or other entities to modulate the chemosensory receptor and/or its ligands. Certain compounds have been reported to have superior sweet taste enhancing properties and are described in the patent applications listed below.

Photostabilizers

Sweet enhancers may degrade when exposed to a light source (artificial and/or natural), e.g., ultraviolet (UV) radiation and/or sunlight, and thereby decreases their sweet enhancing capability and may even produce other undesirable consequences. Photostabilizers can be used to stabilize the sweet enhancers that are under light exposure.

The photostability of the present sweet enhancers will be increased when those sweet enhancers are used together with photostabilizers. In other words, the degradation of the present sweet enhancers upon exposure to a light source will be reduced when those sweet enhancers are used together with photostabilizers. In one embodiment, the present invention provides a method of improving stability of one or more sweet enhancer in a liquid composition, wherein a photostabilizer is in contact with the sweet enhancer, for example, the photostabilizer and the sweet enhancer co-exist in the same liquid composition.

Typically at least a sweet flavor enhancing amount of one or more of the present compound will be added to the liquid composition, optionally in the presence of known sweeteners, e.g., so that the sweet flavor modified ingestible composition has an increased sweet taste as compared to the ingestible composition prepared without the compounds of the present invention, as judged by human beings or animals in general, or in the case of formulations testing, as judged by a majority of a panel of at least eight human taste testers, via procedures commonly known in the field.

The concentration of sweet flavoring agent needed to modulate or improve the flavor of the ingestible composition will of course depend on many variables, including the specific type of the ingestible composition and its various other ingredients, especially the presence of other known sweet flavoring agents and the concentrations thereof, the natural genetic variability and individual preferences and health conditions of various human beings tasting the compositions, and the subjective effect of the particular compound on the taste of such chemosensory compounds.

One application of the present compounds is for modulating (inducing, enhancing or inhibiting) the sweet taste or other taste properties of other natural or synthetic sweet tastants, and comestible compositions made therefrom. A broad but also low range of concentrations of the compounds or entities of the present invention would typically be required, i.e., from about 0.001 ppm to 100 ppm, or narrower alternative ranges from about 0.1 ppm to about 10 ppm, from about 0.01 ppm to about 30 ppm, from about 0.05 ppm to about 10 ppm, from about 0.01 ppm to about 5 ppm, or from about 0.02 ppm to about 2 ppm, or from about 0.01 ppm to about 1 ppm.

Photostability of the sweet enhancer can be measured via photostability test which is typically done under controlled conditions, often in a sealed chamber where exact exposure levels to the spectra of light a product is likely to encounter, can be delivered for precise analysis of the effects. The light levels used in photostability testing are generally high enough to accelerate hours, days, weeks, months, or even years worth of light exposure down to seconds, minutes, or hours in the testing chamber. Monitoring of the exposure levels is critical and is either done by built-in measurement equipment within the chamber or by external

instrumentation. This type of exact, accelerated, laboratory-level photostability testing is typical for the pharmaceutical, paint, ink, and dye manufacturing industries among others. Visible light and UVA are the prime spectra of concern due to the abundance of both types in sunlight and typical indoor lighting which are the most likely light sources to be encountered by these photosensitive products when in use or in-situ. Preparations

The starting materials used in preparing the compounds of the invention, i.e. the various structural subclasses and species of the compounds of the synthetic precursors of the present compounds of Formula (I), are often known compounds, or can be synthesized by known methods described in the literature, or are commercially available from various sources well known to those of ordinary skill in the art, such as for example, Sigma- Aldrich Corporation of St. Louis, Missouri USA and their subsidiaries Fluka and Riedel-de Haen, at their various other worldwide offices, and other well known chemical suppliers such as Fisher Scientific, TCI America of Philadelphia, PA, ChemDiv of San Diego, CA, Chembridge of San Diego, CA, Asinex of Moscow, Russia, SPECS/BIOSPECS of the Netherlands, Maybridge of Cornwall, England, Acros, TimTec of Russia, Comgenex of South San Francisco, CA, and ASDI

Biosciences of Newark, DE.

It is recognized that the skilled artisan in the art of organic chemistry can readily carry out the synthesis of many starting materials and subsequent manipulations without further direction, that is, it is well within the scope and practice of the skilled artisan to carry out many desired manipulations. These include reduction of carbonyl compounds to their corresponding alcohols, oxidations, acylations, aromatic substitutions, both electrophilic and nucleophilic, etherifications, esterification, saponification, nitrations, hydrogenations, reductive animation and the like. These manipulations are discussed in standard texts such as March's Advanced Organic Chemistry (3d Edition, 1985, Wiley-Interscience, New York), Feiser and Feiser's Reagents for Organic Synthesis, and in the various volumes and editions oiMethoden der Organischen Chemie (Houben-Weyl), and the like. Many general methods for preparation of starting materials comprising variously substituted heterocyclic, hetereoaryl, and aryl rings (the precursors of Ar, hAr ¹ , and/or hAr ² ) can be found in Methoden der Organischen Chemie (Houben-Weyl), whose various volumes and editions are available from Georg Thieme Verlag, Stuttgart. The entire disclosures of the treatises recited above are hereby incorporated by reference in their entirieties for their teachings regarding methods for synthesizing organic compounds and their precursors. The skilled artisan will also readily appreciate that certain reactions are best carried out when other functionality is masked or protected in the molecule, thus avoiding any undesirable side reactions and/or increasing the yield of the reaction. Often the skilled artisan utilizes protecting groups to accomplish such increased yields or to avoid the undesired reactions. These reactions are found in the literature and are also well within the scope of the skilled artisan. Examples of many of these manipulations can be found for example in T. Greene and P. Wuts, Protecting Groups in Organic Synthesis, 3 ^r Ed., John Wiley & Sons (1999).

Some exemplary synthetic methods for preparing the present compounds are illustrated in the Schemes 1 to 6 below.

Scheme 1: Preparation of substituted 4-aminoquinoline-3-carboxylate derivatives (VI) from su

As shown in Scheme 1, substituted 4-aminoquinoline-3-carboxylate derivatives (VI) can be prepared by reacting the corresponding anilines I with 2-(alkoxymethylene)malonates II followed by cyclization of the intermediates III under elevated temperature to provide the hydroxyl intermediates TV that can be treated with POCI ₃ or SO2CI2 to provide the corresponding chloride derivatives V that can be further treated with ammonia or amines to give the desired amino-quinolines VI. (Kamal, A. et al. Bioorg. Med. Chem. 2005, 13, 2021-2029; Fryer, R. I. et al. /. Med. Chem. 1993, 36, 1669-1673; Bi, Y. et al. Bioorg. Med. Chem. Lett. 2004, 14, 1577- 1580; Li, S. Y. et al. Bioorg. Med. Chem. 2006, 14, 7370-7376. oga, H. et al. J. Med. Chem. 1980, 23, 1358-1363.). Scheme 2: Preparation of substituted 4-aminoquinoline-3-carboxylate derivatives (VI) from substituted 2-aminobenzoic acid derivatives (VIII)

Substituted 4-aminoquinoline-3-carboxylate derivatives (VI) can also be prepared by reacting the corresponding 2-aminobenzoic acids VIII with phosgene or equivalent to provide the isatoic anhydrides IX that can be further reacted with X to give the derivatives IV (Mai, A. et al. J. Med. Chem. 2006, 49, 6897-6907. Beutner, G. L. et al. J. Org. Chem. 2007, 72, 7058-7061, and references cited therein.), which can be converted to VI as described in Scheme 1.

Alternatively, substituted 4-aminoquinoline-3-carboxylate derivatives (VI) can be prepared by reacting the corresponding amino benzonitriles XI with X to provide the amino derivatives XII (Sestili, I. et al. Eur. J. Med. Chem. 2004, 39, 1047-1057. Doucet-Personeni, C. et al. J. Med. Chem. 2001, 44, 3203-3215. Veronese, A. C. et al. Tetrahedron 1995, 51, 12277- 12284, and the references cited therein.) that can be further alkylated to give the substituted aminoquino lines VI as shown in Scheme 3. Amino quinolines XII can also be prepared via a Michael addition of the 2-amino benzonitriles XI to various α,β-unsaturated carboxylate derivatives XIII, XIV or XV to provide the adducts XVI (MacNab, H. et al. Synthesis 2009, 2171-2174. Vicario, J. L. Synthesis 2007, 2065-2092, and references cited therein. ) that can be further cyclized to give the amino quinolines XII (Han, G. F. et al. Synth. Commun. 2009, 39, 2492-2505. Tabarrini, O. et al. Bioorg. Med. Chem. 2001, 9, 2921-2928. Shutske, G. M. et al. J. Med. Chem. 1989, 32, 1805-1813, and references cited therein.).

Scheme 4: Preparation of substituted 4-aminoquinoline-3-carboxylic acids (XVII, XX) and

As described in Scheme 4, hydrolysis of 4-aminoquinoline-3-carboxylate derivatives VI or XII in the presence of NaOH provide 4-aminoquinoline-3-carboxylic acids XVII (Zhao, Y. L. et al. Eur. J. Med. Chem. 2005, 40, 792-797.) which can be further coupled with amines XXII under standard conditions to give 4-aminoquinoline-3-carboxamide derivatives XVIII. When R ³ and/or R ⁴ = H, 4-aminoquinoline-3-carboxylates VI or XII can be further functionalized by coupling with acids XXIII to give 4-carboxamidoquinoline-3-carboxylates XIX. Compound

XIX can be further hydrolyzed to the acids XX that can be further coupled to the amines XXII to provide amide derivatives XXI.

Chem. 2002, 10, 1509; Kanbe et ah, Bioorg. & Med. Chem. Lett. 2006, 16, 4090 and references cited therein) or NH ₂ S0 ₂ NH ₂ (Maryanoff et al., J. Med. Chem. 2006, 49, 3496, and references cited therein) and followed by cyclization in the presence of NaOH (Goya et al., Heterocycles, 1986, 24, 3451 ; Albrecht et al., J. Org. Chem. 1979, 44, 4191 ; Goya et al, Arch. Pharm. (Weinheim) 1984, 317, 777). The condensation of the corresponding 1,3-dicarbonyl derivatives, α,β-unsaturated carbonyl derivatives with sulfamide derivatives (Scheme 4) also results in the formation of

[l ,2,6]thiadiazine-2,2-dioxide derivatives (Wright, J. Org. Chem. 1964, 29, 1905).

Alternative Methode b): A 3-L 3-neck round bottom flask was first purged with nitrogen. 10% Pd/C (2.81 g) was then added under nitrogen, followed successively by 2- (cyclohexyloxy)-6-nitrobenzonitrile (Example 36c, 43.2 g, 0.175 mol), anhydrous methanol (389 mL), and acetic acid (80.4 mL). A reflux condenser, a dropping funnel containing a solution of ammonium formate (49.8 g, 0.790 mol) in anhydrous methanol (498 mL), thermometer, nitrogen inlet and nitrogen outlet were attached. Ammonium formate solution (75 mL) was added at room temperature, then the reaction was slowly heated to a maximum of 42 °C. The mixture was monitored carefully until initiation of the reaction was observed (an evolution of gas occurred with roughly a 10°C exotherm). Initiation of the reaction often took up to 40 minutes before starting. The remaining of the ammonium formate solution was then added at a rate which maintained an internal reaction temperature of 40 °C to 48 °C. After the addition was complete, the reaction mixture was stirred for another 10 minutes at 45 °C, then cooled down to room temperature. The Pd/C was filtered out using a Teflon filter, and the solvent was evaporated. Ice water (1 L) was added to the residue, then the water was decanted and discarded. The residue was dissolved in diethyl ether, washed with water, then saturated sodium bicarbonate solution, then dried with magnesium sulfate and concentrated. The product was then purified on silica gel using isocratic DCM to give the product as a yellow oil (31.5 g, 83%).

Buffer preparation

Aqueous buffer solution at pH 7.1 contains 50 mM potassium dihydogen phosphate and ~32 mM sodium hydroxide (solutions of 1.0 M hydrochloric acid and 1.0 M sodium hydroxide are used to adjust pH). Aqueous buffer solution at pH 4.0 contains 50 mM citric

acidmonosodium salt and ~7.4 mM sodium hydroxide (solutions of 1.0 M hydrochloric acid and 1.0 M sodium hydroxide are used to adjust pH). Aqueous buffer solution at pH 2.8 contains 50 niM citric acid and -16 mM sodium hydroxide (solutions of 1.0 M hydrochloric acid and 1.0 M sodium hydroxide are used to adjust pH). Test sample preparation

The stock solutions of the test compounds at 25 mM are made by dissolving the compounds in dimethyl sulfoxide. The solutions of the stabilizers are made by dissolving the materials in the aqueous buffers. The stock solutions are then diluted to 25 μΜ with the stabilizer solutions to prepare the test solution and 4-mL aliquots of the solutions are transferred to 20-mL clear glass vial for testing.

Photostability tester settings

Accelerated photodegradation was studied using a Q-Sun Xenon Test Chamber (Q-Lab Model No. Xe-l-SC) at an irradiance setting of 350 mW/m ² at 340 nm and temperature of 25 degrees Celsius. To put this in perspective, 24 hours of constant Q-Sun irradiation at these settings is approximately equivalent to 12.4 days of direct sunlight in the southwestern United States. At 0, 1 , 2, 4, and 6 hours from the beginning of the radiation, a 0.4-mL aliquot from each vial is pippeted out to a 1-mL glass insert for analysis. Sample analysis and data analysis

The samples are analyzed using an Agilent 1 100 LC/MSD equipped with a quaternary pump and a diode-array detector (DAD). The peak areas from the MSD chromatograms are used for quantitation, and the photostability is shown by plotting the percentages of the test compound which remains intact at all time points. The peak areas from the DAD chromatograms are used for quantitation for stabilizers with concentration at 250 uM or higher. The instrument conditions are listed below.

Compounds A, B, C, D, and E are five Examples as described above, wherein Compound A is an exemplary species of structural formula (II), while Compounds B, C, D, and E are exemplary species of structural formula (I). More specifically, Compound E is an exemplary species of structural formula (Ie). For example, Compound B is Example 1.

A Q-Sun Xenon Test Chamber (Q-Lab Model No. Xe-l-SC), which reproduces the entire spectrum of natural sunlight, was used to study the photo-stability of Compounds A, B, C, and D in various mediums (with or without photostabilizers). The equivalent sunlight exposure time for 24 hours in the Q-Sun at a constant temperature of 25 °C and irradiance of 450 mW/m ² @ 340 nm is estimated to be equivalent to approximately 15.9 days of direct sunlight in the Southwestern United States.

Figure 1 illustrates the effect of coffee and tea on rate of photo-degradation of Compound A relative to water alone. Specifically, Compound A showed remarkably improved stability to photo-degradation in both brewed coffee and tea. By comparison, tert-butyl hydroquinone (TBHQ; 200 ppm in water) only has a marginal effect on the rate of photo-degradation of Compound A.

Figures 2 and 3 illustrate the photostability study of Compounds A and B under these condition: Direct sunlight was modeled using a Q-Sun Xenon Test Chamber (Q-Lab Model No. Xe- l-SC) at an irradiance setting of 350 mW/m ² @ 340 nm, 25 °C. Test samples were irradiated in the Q-Sun at these settings in pH 2.8 buffer with/without Compounds A and B in the presence/absence of the photo-stabilizers A (chlorogenic acid) and B (rutin, a.k.a. quercetin-3- rutinoside).

As shown by Figure 2, Compound A can be stabilized from photo-breakdown in the presence of either chlorogenic acid (i.e., Stabilizer A) or rutin (i.e., Stabilizer B). Chlorogenic acid and rutin are two representative photostabilizers of the specific photostabilizers recited in the Photostabilizer section herein above. In the absence of the photo-stabilizer, 80% of Compound A was degraded after 6 hr of irradiation (350 mW/m ² @ 340 nm, 25 °C) in the Q-Sun system. By comparison, only 15% of Compound A was degraded in the presence of 100 ppm of chlorogenic acid, and 45% of Compound A was degraded in the presence of 25 ppm of rutin, under the same conditions.

As shown by Figure 3, Compound B in solution can also be stabilized in the presence of photostabilizer A or B under UV exposure. Without the stabilizer, about 80% of Compound B was degraded after 6 hr exposure to ultraviolet (UV) radiation within the Q-Sun system. By comparison, only 20% of Compound B was degraded in the presence of 100 ppm of chlorogenic acid, and 47% of Compound B was degraded in the presence of 25 ppm of rutin, under the same conditions.

Figure 4 shows some exemplary antioxidants that are suitable to be photostabilizers. Some of those antioxidants are FEMA GRAS compounds. Table 1 below indicates the approved use levels for those FEMA GRAS compounds in non-alcoholic beverages.

Figure 5 shows the time course of the photo-degradation of the sweet enhancer

Compound A in the absence and the presence of several of the FEMA GRAS compounds with antioxidant properties. Direct sunlight was modeled using a Q-Sun Xenon Test Chamber (Q-Lab Model No. Xe-l-SC) at an irradiance setting of 350 mW/m ² @ 340 nm, 25 °C. Test samples were irradiated in the Q-Sun at these settings in pH 2.8 buffer with Compound A in the presence/absence of the photo-stabilizers. All of the antioxidants shown in Figure 4 and Table 2 (below) are effective in stabilizing Compound A to photo-oxidation. In one embodiment, EMIQ (200 ppm) is particularly effective (72.64% remaining at 24 hrs).

Table 2.

Figures 6A and 6B show the time course of photo-degradation of Compound C and Compound D in the presence and absence of EMIQ. Compounds C and D are analogs of Compound B. Similar to the photostability study of Compound A, EMIQ (200 ppm) is very effective in retarding the photo-degradation of both Compound C and Compound D out to at least 24 hrs under conditions of accelerated photo-oxidation. As indicated by Figures 6A and 6B and Table 3 below, 86-90% of the compound remained intact at 24hrs in the presence of 200 ppm of EMIQ vs only 13-19% remaining in the absence of the antioxidant. Table 3.

Figure 7 shows the chemical structures of some naturally occurring cinnamic acid and coumarin derivatives.

Figure 8 shows the time course of the photo-degradation of Compound A in the absence and the presence of the cinnamic acid and coumarin derivatives shown in Figure 7. Direct sunlight was modeled using a Q-Sun Xenon Test Chamber (Q-Lab Model No. Xe-l-SC) at an irradiance setting of 350 mW/m ² @ 340 nm, 25 °C. Test samples were irradiated in the Q-Sun at these settings in pH 2.8 buffer with 25 μΜ of Compound A in the presence/absence of the photo- stabilizers at a concentration of 100 ppm. All of the antioxidants shown in Figure 8 and Table 4 are effective in stabilizing Compound A to photo-oxidation. Daphnetin and sinapinic acid are particularly effective (>98% remaining at 6 hrs).

Table 4.

Figure 9 and Table 5 show the time course of photo-degradation of Compound C in the presence and absence of 50 and 100 ppm of daphnetin. Similar to the photostability study of Compound A, daphnetin is effective in retarding the photo-degradation of Compound C for at least 7 hrs under conditions of accelerated photo-oxidation. In the presence of 100 ppm of daphnetin, 93.8% of the compound remained intact at 7 hrs vs only 66.49% remaining in the absence of the antioxidant.

Table 5.

Table 6 and Figure 10 show the time course of the photo-degradation of the sweet enhancer Compound E in the absence and the presence of either EMIQ or chlorogenic acid ("CGA"). Direct sunlight was modeled using a Q-Sun Xenon Test Chamber (Q-Lab Model No. Xe- l-SC) at an irradiance setting of 350 mW/m ² @ 340 nm, 25 °C. Test samples were irradiated in the Q-Sun at these settings in pH 2.8 buffer with sweet enhancer Compound E in the presence/absence of the photostabilizers. In the presence of 200 ppm of either EMIQ or chlorogenic acid (CGA), the photo-degradation of Compound E is effectively retarded for at least 24 hrs under conditions of accelerated photo-oxidation. In both cases, 81-86% of the compound remained intact at 24hrs in the presence of 200 ppm of the antioxidants vs <1 % remaining in the absence of the antioxidant.
