Description:

NOVEL COMPOUNDS AS AGONIST FOR PPAR GAMMA AND PPAR ALPHA, METHOD FOR PREPARATION OF THE SAME, AND PHARMACEUTICAL COMPOSITION CONTAINING THE SAME

FIELD OF THE INVENTION

The present invention relates to a novel compound as an agonist for peroxisome proliferator-activated receptor gamma (PPARγ) and alpha (PPARα), processes of preparing the same, and pharmaceutical compositions containing the same as an active agent.

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION

Diabetes mellitus has serious effects on people's health and accompanies various complications. There are two major types of diabetes mellitus: type I diabetes mellitus characterized by little or no insulin secretory capacity due to the destruction of pancreatic cells, and type II diabetes mellitus characterized by insulin deficiency and insulin resistance due to other causes. The prevalence of type II diabetes mellitus is 90% or more of total patients with diabetes mellitus. Representative examples of complications accompanying diabetes include hyperlipidemia, obesity, hypertension, retinopathy and renal insufficiency (Paul Zimmer, et al, Nature, 2001, 414, 782). Sulfonylureas (stimulating insulin secretion in pancreatic cells), biguanides (inhibiting glucose production in the liver), α-glucosidase inhibitors (inhibiting glucose absorption

in the intestines), etc. have been used as agents to treat diabetes. Recently, peroxisome proliferator-activated receptor gamma (PPARγ) accelerators (Thiazolidinediones, increasing insulin sensitivity) have drawn attention as therapeutic agents for diabetes. However, these drugs have side effects such as hypoglycemia, weight gain and the like (David E. Moller, Nature, 2001, 414, 821). Furthermore, these agents raise concerns of inducing hypoglycemia. Accordingly, there is a strong need to develop diabetes therapeutic agents which can treat hyperglycemia and reduce complications of diabetes mellitus with decreased side effects, without inducing hypoglycemia and weight gain.

Recently, it has been found through in vivo testing that PPARγ accelerators (agonists) increase insulin sensitivity and also decrease serum levels of glucose and insulin, which suggest the possibility of such compounds being used as therapeutic agents for treatment of diabetes (Ricote M., Nature 1998, 391, 79-82). Accordingly, fibrates which activate PPARα were used as agents functioning to decrease blood triglyceride (TG) levels by 20 ~ 50%, decrease LDLc by 10 ~ 15% and increase HDLc by 10 ~ 15%, as observed through various experiments (Isseman, L, et al, Nature 1990, 347, 645-650; Linton, M. R, Curr. Atheroscler. Rep. 2000, 2, 29-35). This fact is

supported by reports that the activation of PPARα activates the transcription of enzymes which break down fatty acids to decrease the de novo synthesis of fatty acids in liver, thereby resulting in the decreased production and secretion of TG and VLDL.

Recently, accelerators for human PPARγ and PPARα showed positive effects in various arteriosclerosis animal models, which also suggested the possibility of these compounds being used to treat arteriosclerosis (Li, A.C., et al, J. Clin. Invest. 2000, 106 523, Collins, A., Arterioscler., Thromb., Vase. Biol. 2002, 21, 365-367, Bernadette P. Neve, et al. Biochemical Pharmacology 2000, 60, 1245). Further, since it was reported

that PPARγ accelerators inhibit factors inducing inflammation, the possibility of PPARγ accelerators being used as therapeutic agents for treatment of inflammation was also suggested.

Therefore, the possibility was suggested that compounds activating both PP ARa and PPARγ can be used in treating diabetes mellitus and hyperlipidemia caused by diabetes mellitus (Auwerx, J., Insulin Resistance, Metabolic Disease Diabetic

Complications 1999, 167-172). Recently, many researchers have also confirmed in animal models that the compounds activating both PPARγ and PP ARa modulate the blood glucose and lipid levels (Koji Murakami, et al, Diabetes, 1998, 47, 1841, Dawn A. Brooks, et al., J. Med. Chem. 2001, 44, 2061).

Because of excellent pharmaceutical effects in various fields as described above, many pharmaceutical companies have been trying to find compounds activating both PPARγ and PPARα. Among these compounds, tesaglitazar (AZ-242) and muraglitazar (BMS-298585) are under clinical phase III trial as of year 2004 (Brad R. Henke, J. Med. Chem. 2004, 47, 4118-4127). In particular, the animal test result (ob/ob mouse) of tesaglitazar showed the excellent effects thereof on treatment of hyperglycemia, hyperinsulinism, and hypertriglyceridmia (B.Bjung et al., J. Lipid Res. 2002, 43, 1855-1863).

Meanwhile, side effects such as weight gain and edema may occur along with the excellent effects. These side effects are clearly found in the case of rosiglitazone and pioglitazone as accelators of PPARγ. More specifically, weight gain (3~5kg) has been ascertained in most of patients, and edema has been accompanied in some patients (S.

Mudaliar et al, Curr. Opin. Endocrinol. Diabetes 2002, 9, 285-302). The occurrence of

edema may be a burden on the heart; therefore, it is important to develop the compounds which activate both PPARγ and PPARα, but not causing these side effects. The weight gain by the action of PPAR accelator is mainly caused by an increse of subcutaneous fat in which secretion of metabolic regulators occurs actively. While such weight gain is accompanied with a decrease of abdominal fat, weight loss is generally recommended for treatment of diabetes, whereby the development of compounds not causing the weight gain is required. In this connection, an accelerator activating both PPARγ and PPARα without weight gain has also been reported (R. K. Virkramadithyan et al, Obesity Res. 2003, 11, 292-303).

The concept of PPAR partial agonist has been introduced as a method of improving insulin resistance while decreasing side effects of PPAR agonist such as weight gain and edema (SM Rangwala and MA Lazar, Sci STKE, 2002(121), 121-122). They operate selectively according to PPAR promoter and tissue like SERM (Selective Estrogen Receptor Modulator) to improve insulin resistance and selectively inhibit the gene expression associated with a cell differentiation of adipocyte etc (JP Berger et al., MoI Endo., 2003, 17(4), 662-676). These results have also been proved through in vivo testing; specifically, the experimental result has been reported that an insulin resistance is improved and a weight gain is considerably inhibited (Misra P et al., J Pharmacol Exp Ther., 2003, 306(2), 763-771), (Rocchi S et al., MoI Cell, 2001, 8, 737-747), (Liu LS et al., 1998, Endocrinology, 139(11), 4531-4539). Therefore, it is expected that the PPAR partial agonist can become a better therapeutic agents than the PPAR full agonist which has many side effects such as weight gain and edema.

It is known that the partial agonist of PPAR binds to PPAR in a completely different way from the full agonist. According to X-ray crystal structure of TZD series

and compounds of carboxylic acid series as PPAR full agonist, the acidic moiety of PPAR full agonist forms hydrogen bond with amino acids such as His449, Tyr473, His323, Ser289 and Gln286 etc. Tyr473 among them is located in AF-2 domain of carboxyl terminal, and the hydrogen bond with Tyr473 is important to achieve the co- activator recruitment and DNA binding structure (Tontonoz et al., Genes Dev., 1994, 8, 1224-1234), (Kubota N et al., MoI Cell, 1999, 4, 597-609) (Cronet P et al., Structure, 2001, 9, 699-706). On the other hand, GW0072 as a partial agonist of PPAR shows a different binding form. GW0072 is a compound of carboxylic acid series like other PPAR full agonistes, but it shows that it doest not bind to AF-2 domain and thus it does not form a hydrogen bond with Tyr473 (Yoshioka T., J Med Chem., 1989, 32, 421 -428). This difference in a binding way is a very important factor that can distinguish a PPAR full agonist from a partial agonist.

In addition to side effects such as weight gain and edema, PPAR agonist has possibility to induce osteoporosis. Osteoblasts and adipocytes, which have ability to form bone, stem from mesenchymal cells of bone marrow during a process of differentiation. While the differentiation of osteoblast from mesenchymal cells is controlled by transcriptional factors such as Runx2/Cbfal or Dlx5, the differentiation of adipocyte from mesenchymal cells is controlled by PPAR (Komori T et al., Cell, 1997, 89(5), 755-764), (Acampora T et al., Development, 1997, 126(17): 3795-809 Lecka- Czernik B, J Cell Biochem., 1999, 74, 357-371). Further, when an osteoblast is treated with a rosiglitazone as PPAR agonist, the osteoblast is differentiated to adipocyte along with the activation of PPAR, while inhibiting irreversibly the activation of osteoblast phenotype. This phenomenon occurs probably by the result that PPAR inhibits the activity of specific factors of osteoblast such as Runx2/Cbfal or osteopontin, alkaline

phosphatase, and osteocalcin (Lecka-Czernik B, J Cell Biochem., 1999, 74, 357-371).

Some terms used in the present disclosure are briefly explained below.

When the term "substituted" is used without any separate or additional descriptions in the present disclosure, it means that the substituent group(s) is (are) substituted by alkyl, cycloalkyl, alkoxy, oxo or halogen. Typical alkyl groups include,

but are in no way limited to, methyl, ethyl, propyl, isopropyl, butyl, isobutyl, t-butyl, pentyl, hexyl, ethenyl, prophenyl, butenyl, cyclopropyl, cyclobutyl, cyclopentyl, cyclohexyl, and the like.

As used herein, the term "pharmaceutically acceptable salt" means a formulation of a compound that does not cause significant irritation to an organism to which it is administered and does not abrogate the biological activity and properties of the compound. The term "isomer" also has the same meaning as the above. The pharmaceutical salts includes salts of acids that form non-toxic acid adduct containing pharmaceutically acceptable anion, for example, acid adducts of inorganic acids such as hydrochloric acid, sulfuric acid, nitric acid, phosphoric acid, hydrobromic acid, iodic acid and the like; acid adducts of organic carbonic acids such as tartaric acid, formic acid, citric acid, acetic acid, trichloroacetic acid, trifluoroacetic acid, gluconic acid, benzoic acid, lactic acid, fumaric acid, maleic acid, salicylic acid and the like; acid adducts of sulfonic acids such as methanesulfonic acid, ethanesulfonic acid, bezenesulfonic acid or p-toluenesulfonic and the like. The examples of pharmaceutically acceptable salts of carboxylic acid include metal salts or alkaline earth metal salts of lithium, sodium, potassium, calcium magnesium and the like; and salts of amino acids such as lysine, arginine, guanidine and the like; organic salts of dicyclohexylamine, N-methyl-D-glucarmine, tris(hydroxymethyl)methylamine, diethanolamine, choline, tirethylamine and the like. The compound of Formula 1 according to the present invention can be converted to its salts by known methods.

As used herein, the term "isomer" means a compound of the present invention or a salt thereof, that has the same chemical formula or molecular formula but is optically or stereochemically different therefrom. Since a variety of compounds

according to the present invention have an oxime structure, they can be present in the form of trans or cis geometric isomers. AU of these isomers and mixtures thereof are of course included in the range of the present invention.

The term "alkyl" means an aliphatic hydrocarbon group. The alkyl moiety may be a "saturated alkyl" group, which means that it does not contain any alkene or alkyne moieties. The alkyl moiety may also be an "unsaturated alkyl" moiety, which means that it contains at least one alkene or alkyne moiety. An "alkene" moiety refers to a group consisting of at least two carbon atoms and at least one carbon-carbon double bond, and an "alkyne" moiety refers to a group consisting of at least two carbon atoms and at least one carbon-carbon triple bond. The alkyl moiety, whether saturated or unsaturated, may be branched, straight chain, or cyclic. For example, the alkyl group may be a lower alkyl having 1 to 6 carbon atoms. The alkyl group of the compounds of the invention may be designated as "C 1 -C 4 alkyl" or similar designations. By way of example only, "Ci-C 4 alkyl" indicates that there are one to four carbon atoms in the alkyl chain, i.e., the alkyl chain is selected from the group consisting of methyl, ethyl, propyl, iso-propyl, n-butyl, iso-butyl, sec-butyl, and t-butyl.

The present invention also relates to processes for preparation of the compounds of Formula 1. A person skilled in the art could easily manufacture the compound of Formula 1 on the basis of the chemical structure thereof by various processes. In other words, it will be possible to prepare the compound of Formula 1, within the scope of the present invention, by the process described in the present disclosure or by combining some of processes known in the prior art. So the scope of the present invention is not limited to the below processes.

[Reaction Scheme 2]

(4) (3) (5) (1)

wherein A, D, L and X are the same as defined in Formula 1, and L means Cl, Br, I or OMs(methanesulfonyloxy group).

The reaction 'a' in the reaction scheme can be conducted in the presence of organic solvent, such as dimethylformamide, dimethylacetamide and acetonitrile and the like, and in some cases, two or more kinds of them can be used. The typical examples of the base includes sodium hydroxide, potassium t-butoxide, cesium carbonate, potassium carbonate, sodium carbonate, potassium bis (trimethylsilyl) amide and the like, and in some cases, two or more kinds of them can be used.

The oximation 'b' in the reaction scheme can be conducted with oxime in the presence of organic solvent, such as methanol, ethanol or propanol, or even water, and in some cases, two or more mixtures of them can be used. The typical examples of the base include sodium hydroxide, potassium carbonate, sodium carbonate, sodium bicarbonate and the like, and in some cases, two or more kinds of them can be used.

The reaction compounds above can also be prepared by a person skilled in the art on the basis of the chemical structure by various methods. Some examples are illustrated in the below.

Firstly, the compounds represented by Formulas 2 and 4 can be prepared by a well-known method (H. O. Han, et al KR2004-0097273).

Secondly, the compound D-(i) of Formula 3 in which E 2 is H, and G is Me,

, can be prepared by a well-known method (Kevin J. Duffy, et al J.MedChem., 2001, 44, 3730-3745).

Thirdly, the compound D-(iii) of Formula 3 in which E 2 is H, and G is Me,

, can be prepared by a well known method (G. T. Kim, et al WO 2005- 040127).

A person skilled in the art to which the present invention pertains can easily understand the detailed reaction conditions for preparation of the compound of the present invention, based upon many PREPARATIONS and EXAMPLES to be illustrated later, thus explanations thereof are omitted herein in the interest of brevity.

Also, the present invention provides a pharmaceutical composition for accelerating PPARγ and PPARα comprising (a) a therapeutically effective amount of the compound of Formula 1, and (b) a physiologically acceptable carrier, diluent, or excipient, or a combination thereof.

The term "pharmaceutical composition" as used herein means a mixture of a compound of the invention with other chemical components, such as diluents or carriers. The pharmaceutical composition facilitates administration of the compound to an organism. Multiple techniques of administering a compound exist in the art including, but not limited to oral, injection, aerosol, parenteral, and topical administrations. Pharmaceutical compositions can also be obtained by reacting compounds with acids such as hydrochloric acid, hydrobromic acid, sulfuric acid, nitric acid, phosphoric acid, methanesulfonic acid, p-toluenesulfonic acid, salicylic acid and the like.

The term "therapeutically effective amount" means an amount of active ingredients effective to alleviate, ameliorate or prevent symptoms of disease or decrease or delay the onset of clinical markers or symptoms of disease. Thus, a therapeutically effective amount refers to that amount which has the effect of (1) reversing the rate of progress of a disease; (2) inhibiting to some extent progress of the disease; and/or, (3) alleviating to some extent (or, preferably, eliminating) one or more symptoms associated with the disease. The therapeutically effective amount may be determined by experiments on the efficacy of compound as an active agent via in vivo and in vitro known model systems for diseases to be treated.

The term "carrier" means a chemical compound that facilitates the incorporation of a compound into cells or tissues. For example, dimethyl sulfoxide (DMSO) is a commonly utilized carrier as it facilitates the uptake of many organic compounds into the cells or tissues of an organism.

The term "diluent" defines chemical compounds diluted in water that will dissolve the compound of interest as well as stabilize the biologically active form of the

compound. Salts dissolved in buffered solutions are utilized as diluents in the art. One commonly used buffered solution is phosphate buffered saline because it mimics the ionic strength conditions of human blood. Since buffer salts can control the pH of a solution at low concentrations, a buffered diluent rarely modifies the biological activity of a compound.

The compounds described herein can be administered to a human patient per se, or in pharmaceutical compositions in which they are mixed with other active ingredients, as in combination therapy, or suitable carriers or excipient(s). Techniques for formulation and administration of the compounds may be found in "Remington's Pharmaceutical Sciences," Mack Publishing Co., Easton, PA, 18th edition, 1990.

The pharmaceutical composition of the present invention may be manufactured in a manner that is itself known, e.g., by means of conventional mixing, dissolving, granulating, dragee-making, levigating, emulsifying, encapsulating, entrapping or lyophilizing processes.

Pharmaceutical compositions for use in accordance with the present invention thus may be formulated in a conventional manner using one or more physiologically acceptable carriers comprising excipients and auxiliaries which facilitate processing of the active compounds into preparations which can be used pharmaceutically. Proper formulation is dependent upon the route of administration chosen. Any of the well- known techniques, carriers, and excipients may be used as suitable and as understood in the art; e.g., in Remington's Pharmaceutical Sciences, above. The compound of Formula 1 according to the present invention can be formulated into dasage forms suitable for injection or oral admimistration in accordance with intended use.

For injection, the agents of the present invention may be formulated in aqueous solutions, preferably in physiologically compatible buffers such as Hanks 's solution,

Ringer's solution, or physiological saline buffer. For transmucosal administration, penetrants appropriate to the barrier to be permeated are used in the formulation. Such penetrants are generally known in the art.

For oral administration, the compounds can be formulated readily by combining the active compounds with pharmaceutically acceptable carriers well known in the art. Such carriers enable the compound of the present invention to be formulated as tablet, pill, powder, granule, dragee, capsule, liquid, gel, syrup, slurry, suspension and the like, for oral ingestion by a patient. Preferable dosage forms are capsule and tablet. It is preferable that tablets and pills be coated. Pharmaceutical preparations for oral use can be obtained by mixing one or more solid excipient with one or more compounds of the present invention, optionally grinding the resulting mixture, and processing the mixture of granules, after adding suitable auxiliaries, if desired, to obtain tablets or dragee cores. Suitable excipients are, in particular, fillers such as sugars, including lactose, sucrose, mannitol or sorbitol; cellulose preparations such as, for example, maize starch, wheat starch, rice starch, potato starch, gelatin, gum tragacanth, methyl cellulose, hydroxypropylmethyl-cellulose, sodium carboxymethyl cellulose, and/or polyvinylpyrrolidone (PVP). If desired, disintegrating agents may be added, such as the cross-linked polyvinyl pyrrolidone, agar, or alginic acid or a salt thereof such as sodium alginate.

Pharmaceutical preparations which can be used orally include push-fit capsules made of gelatin, as well as soft, sealed capsules made of gelatin and a plasticizer, such as glycerol or sorbitol. The push-fit capsules can contain the active ingredients in

admixture with filler such as lactose, binders such as starches, and/or lubricants such as talc or magnesium stearate and, optionally, stabilizers. In soft capsules, the active compounds may be dissolved or suspended in suitable liquids, such as fatty oils, liquid paraffin, or liquid polyethylene glycols. In addition, stabilizers may be added. All formulations for oral administration should be in dosages suitable for such administration.
