Description

TECHNICAL FIELD

The present invention relates to a novel propane-1,3-dione derivative useful as pharmaceuticals, especially as a therapeutical agent for sex hormone-dependent diseases.

BACKGROUND ART

It is known that hypothalamic hormone or pituitary hormone takes part in a control system of secretion of peripheral hormones. In general, secretion of anterior pituitary hormone is regulated by secretion stimulating hormones or secretion suppressing hormones secreted from its higher center, hypothalamus, or peripheral hormones secreted from the target organs of the respective hormones. Gonadotropin releasing hormone (hereinafter, abbreviated as GnRH; also, GnRH is referred to as luteinizing hormone releasing hormone; LHRH) is known as a hormone which controls the secretion of sex hormones at the highest position, and regulates the secretion of luteinizing hormone (hereinafter, abbreviated as LH), follicle stimulating hormone (hereinafter, abbreviated as FSH), and sex hormones in the gonads through its specific receptor (hereinafter, abbreviated as GnRH receptor) which is present in anterior pituitary (Horumon to Rinsyo (Hormones and Clinical Medicine), spring extra number, 46, 46-57 (1998)). A specific and selective antagonist to the GnRH receptor is expected to be a drug for preventing and treating sex hormone-dependent diseases (e.g., prostate cancer, breast cancer, endometriosis, uterine fibroid, etc.), since it regulates the action of GnRH and controls the secretion of lower LH, FSH and sex hormones (Horumon to Rinsyo (Hormones and Clinical Medicine), spring extra number, (1998), ibid.; Cancer Res. 1, 293-297 (1941); Proc. Natl. Acad. Sci. USA 87, 7100-7104 (1990)). At present, peptide compounds, cetrorelix (Proc. Natl. Acad. Sci. USA, 85, 1637-1641, 1988) and abarelix (J. Urol. 167, 1670-1674, 2002) are put on the market as GnRH receptor antagonists, and from these information, pharmaceuticals capable of controlling the secretion of sex hormones are also expected as therapeutical agents for benign prostatic hyperplasia (J. Clinical Endocrinology and Metabolism (1998) 83, 11, 3826-3831). On the other hand, as non-peptidic compounds having a GnRH receptor antagonistic effect, for example, an uracil derivative, NBI-42902 (J. Med. Chem., 48, 1169-1 178, 2005) was under clinical trials, but its development was stopped. Patent Reference 1 discloses that a propane-1,3-dione derivative has a GnRH receptor antagonistic effect. (In the formula, A and B are the same or different, each representing optionally substituted aryl or optionally substituted hetero ring; for the details, referred to the above publication.) However, there is no description of a substituted sulfonyl group (-SO₂-R³) as the substituent on the ring A or the ring B or disclosure of specific compounds having such a group. Further, Patent Reference 2 published after the priority date of the present application discloses that a propane-1,3-dione derivative has a GnRH receptor antagonistic effect. (In the formula, the ring A represents optionally substituted benzene, optionally substituted pyridine, or thiophene ring, and the ring B represents benzene or thiophene ring; for the details, referred to the above publication.) However, the structure differs from the compound of the present invention in that the former has a substituent derived from a 1-hydroxyalkyl group on the ring B.

This step is to obtain a 1,3-diketone derivative (X) through reaction of a methyl ketone derivative (IX) and a compound (VI) in the presence of a base followed by processing it with various compounds (VIII) having a basic nitrogen. The reaction can be attained in the presence of a strong base such as lithium diisopropylamide (LDA) in a solvent inert to the reaction such as ethers, e.g., tetrahydrofuran (THF), under cooling to reflux conditions.

The reaction can be attained in the presence of a base such as sodium hydride (NaH), in a solvent inert to the reaction, for example, an aprotic polar solvent such as N,N-dimethylformamide (DMF), under cooling to heating conditions. In this step, adding an additive such as potassium fluoride may be advantageous, as the case may be. In the series of reaction mentioned above, 1,1'-thiocarbonyldiimidazole may be used in place of carbon disulfide (CS₂) to give a compound (XI) where L² is -S-lower alkyl, and L³ is imidazole.

Step 3:

This step is to obtain the compound of general formula (I) through reaction of the compound (XI) having two leaving groups with a diamine compound (XII).

Patent Reference 1 mentioned above discloses a carbonyl group as the substituent on the phenyl group of propanoylphenyl, but does not disclose a sulfonyl group thereon. Accordingly, for confirming the usefulness of " group of -SO₂-R³", the activities of the compounds of the present invention was compared with those of the comparative compounds having -CO-R³ group. The results are shown in Table 2.

[Table 2]

Test Example 2 - Test for Antagonistic Effect to GnRH-Induced Blood Testosterone Increase Reaction:

The in vivo gonadotropin releasing hormone (GnRH) antagonistic effect of the compounds were evaluated by their inhibitory effects to blood testosterone increase reaction induced by GnRH administration in rats (Patent Reference 1, page 57). In the experiment, 9-week old Wistar male rats (Nippon SLC) were used. GnRH (Peptide Institute, LH-RH (human)) was administered intramuscularly in the hip of each rat (30 ng/rat). The test compounds were dissolved or suspended in an aqueous 0.5% methyl cellulose (MC) solution, and orally administered at a dose of 3 mg/kg, 2 or 6 hours prior to the GnRH administration. One hour after the GnRH administration, the blood was collected and the testosterone concentration in the serum was measured by specific radioimmunoassay (Iatron's RIA kit). The inhibitory activity (%) (IA) of the test compounds were calculated according to a formula: IA = (Tc - Ts)/(Tc - Tn) x 100 (when lowered to Tn, IA = 100%). In this formula, Tn indicates the serum testosterone concentrations of the rats without GnRH administration; Tc indicates those with the solvent instead of the test compounds administration; Ts indicates those with the test comounds administration. As a result, for example, the inhibitory activities of the compounds of Examples 211, 302, 662 and 696 were at least 90% at a dose of 3 mg/kg. From the test results above, it is obvious that the compounds of the present invention are useful as a preventive/therapeutical agents for various sex hormone-dependent diseases such as prostate cancer, breast cancer, endometriosis, uterine fibroid, benign prostatic hyperplasia,etc., as having a potent GnRH receptor antagonistic effect.
