Description

2, 3-substituted pyrazine sulfonamides as CRTH2 inhibitors
Technical Field
The present invention relates to 2, 3-substituted pyrazine sulfonamides as pharmaceutically active compounds and pharmaceutical formulations containing said 2, 3-substituted pyrazine sulfonamides. The derivatives are useful for the treatment and/or prevention of allergic diseases and inflammatory skin diseases. In particular, the present invention relates to 2, 3-substituted pyrazine sulfonamides for modulating, in particular inhibiting, the activity of CRTH 2. The invention also relates to novel 2, 3-substituted pyrazine sulfonamides and methods for their preparation.
Background
Prostaglandin D2(PGD2) has long been implicated in inflammatory and atopic disorders, particularly allergic diseases such as asthma, rhinitis and atopic dermatitis (Lewis et al (1982) journal of immunology (j. immunol)129, 1627). PGD2 belongs to a class of compounds derived from the 20-carbon fatty acid backbone of arachidonic acid. During the acute allergic response, PGD2 is released in large quantities into the airways and the skin in response to antigen challenge. DP receptors belonging to members of the subfamily of G-protein coupled receptors (GPCRs) have long been considered to be the only receptor for PGD 2. The role of DP in allergic asthma has been demonstrated in DP deficient mice (Matsuoka et al (2000) Science 287, 2013-2017). However, although PGD2 has shown great interest in the role of inflammatory responses, a direct relationship between DP receptor activation and PGD 2-stimulated eosinophil migration has not been established (Woodward et al (1990) Octobalomol Vis. Sci.)31, 138-146; Woodward et al (1993) European journal of pharmacy (Eur. J. Pharmacol.)230, 327-333).
Recently, another G protein-coupled receptor, termed "chemoattractant receptor-homologous molecule expressed on T helper cell 2" (CRTH2) (Nagata et al (1999) J.Immunol.)162, 1278-1286, Hirai et al (2001) J.Med.193, 255-261) has been identified as a receptor for PGD2, and this finding has begun to reveal the mechanism of action of PDG 2. CRTH2, also known as DP2, GPR44 or DLIR, has little structural similarity to DP receptor and other prostanoid receptors. However, CRTH2 has a similar affinity for PDG 2. Among peripheral blood T lymphocytes, human CRTH2 is selectively expressed on Th2 cells and is highly expressed on cell types associated with allergic inflammation, such as eosinophils, basophils, and Th2 cells. Furthermore, CRTH2 also mediates PGD 2-dependent cell migration of blood eosinophils and basophils. Still further, an increased number of circulating T cells expressing CRTH2 was associated with the severity of atopic dermatitis (Cosmi et al (2000) European journal of immunology 30, 2972-2979). The interaction of CRTH2 and PGD2 plays a key role in allergen-induced recruitment of Th2 cells in allergic inflammation target tissues. Therefore, compounds that inhibit the binding of CRTH2 and PGD2 should be useful for the treatment of allergic diseases.
Allergic diseases, such as asthma and inflammatory skin diseases, represent a large complex and often chronic class of inflammatory diseases that currently affect about 10% of the population and appear to be increasing in number (Bush, r.k., Georgitis j.w., handbook of asthma and rhinitis, 1 st edition (1997), abindon: blakewell Science 270). Atopic dermatitis is a chronic skin disease, and the skin of a patient becomes itchy. This is true for 10-20% of all patients with dermatologists. The increasing incidence of allergic and inflammatory skin diseases worldwide has exacerbated the need for new methods of effectively treating or preventing such diseases. Currently, various types of drugs are widely used to treat these diseases, for example, antihistamines, decongestants, anticholinergics, methylxanthines, cromolyn sodium, corticosteroids, and leukotriene modifiers. However, the use of these drugs is often limited by their side effects and low efficacy.
It has recently been reported that 3-thio-substituted indole derivatives (a) exhibit CRTH2 activity (WO 04/106302, AstraZeneca AB), and are potentially useful for the treatment of various respiratory diseases.
WO 04/096777(Bayer Healthcare AG) relates to pyrimidine derivatives useful in the treatment of CRTH2 mediated diseases.
WO 04/035543 and WO 05/102338(Warner-Lambert Company LLC) disclose tetrahydroquinoline derivatives (C) as CRTH2 antagonists, which are also said to be effective in the treatment of neuropathic pain.
WO 04/032848(Millennium Pharmaceutical Inc.) and WO 05/007094(tularik Inc.) also provide specific tetrahydroquinoline derivatives as CRTH2 modulators. These tetrahydroquinoline derivatives are said to be useful in the treatment of diseases associated with the development of allergic inflammatory conditions.
Other subfamilies of G protein-coupled receptors, namely CCR's and CXCR's, are also discussed as potential drug targets for the treatment of allergic diseases and autoimmune conditions. WO 04/108692 and WO 04/108717(AstraZeneca AB) disclose pyrazine sulfonamide compounds that specifically modulate CCR 4.
Pyrazine sulfonamide compounds that interact with G protein-coupled receptors have also been disclosed in WO 04/058265.

In a third aspect, the present invention provides the use of a 2, 3-substituted pyrazine sulfonamide according to formula (I) for the manufacture of a medicament for the treatment and/or prevention of a disease selected from allergic diseases (e.g. allergic asthma, allergic rhinitis, allergic conjunctivitis, systemic anaphylaxis or hypersensitivity) and inflammatory dermatoses (e.g. atopic dermatitis, eczema, allergic contact dermatitis and urticaria), myositis and other diseases with an inflammatory component (e.g. rheumatoid arthritis, osteoarthritis and Inflammatory Bowel Disease (IBD)) and other diseases associated with the activity of CTRH 2.
In a fourth aspect, the present invention provides a method of treating and/or preventing a disease selected from allergic diseases (e.g. allergic asthma, allergic rhinitis, allergic conjunctivitis, systemic anaphylaxis or hypersensitivity) and inflammatory dermatoses (e.g. atopic dermatitis, eczema, allergic contact dermatitis and urticaria), myositis, neurodegenerative diseases (e.g. neuropathic pain) and other inflammatory diseases (e.g. rheumatoid arthritis, multiple sclerosis, osteoarthritis and Inflammatory Bowel Disease (IBD)) and other diseases associated with the activity of CTRH2 by administering to a patient a 2, 3-substituted pyrazine sulfonamide according to formula (I).
The term "preventing" as used herein shall be understood to mean partially or completely preventing, inhibiting, alleviating or reversing one or more symptoms or causes of allergic disease or inflammatory dermatitis.
In a fifth aspect, the present invention provides the use of a 2, 3-substituted pyrazine sulfonamide of formula (I) for the preparation of a pharmaceutical composition useful in a variety of therapies, including the prevention and/or treatment of diseases selected from allergic diseases (e.g. allergic asthma, allergic rhinitis, allergic conjunctivitis, systemic anaphylaxis or hypersensitivity) and inflammatory dermatoses (e.g. atopic dermatitis, eczema, allergic contact dermatitis and urticaria), myositis, neurodegenerative diseases (e.g. neuropathic pain) and other inflammatory diseases (e.g. rheumatoid arthritis, multiple sclerosis, osteoarthritis and Inflammatory Bowel Disease (IBD)) as well as other diseases associated with CTRH2 activity.
The present invention further provides the use of a 2, 3-substituted pyrazine sulfonamide represented by formula (I) for the prevention and/or treatment of a disease selected from allergic diseases (e.g. allergic asthma, allergic rhinitis, allergic conjunctivitis, systemic anaphylaxis or hypersensitivity) and inflammatory dermatoses (e.g. atopic dermatitis, eczema, allergic contact dermatitis and urticaria), myositis, neurodegenerative diseases (e.g. neuropathic pain) and other inflammatory diseases (e.g. rheumatoid arthritis, multiple sclerosis, osteoarthritis and Inflammatory Bowel Disease (IBD)) and other diseases associated with CTRH2 activity.
The compounds of the present invention may be incorporated in the dosage form of pharmaceutical compositions and unit dosage forms thereof, which may be in the form of oral solid (e.g., tablets or filled capsules) or liquid (e.g., solutions, suspensions, emulsions, elixirs, or capsules filled with these), together with conventional adjuvants, carriers, diluents, or excipients; or a sterile injectable solution for parenteral administration (including subcutaneous administration). Such pharmaceutical compositions and unit dosage forms may contain the ingredients in conventional proportions, with or without other active compounds or active ingredients, and such unit dosage forms may contain any suitable effective amount of the active ingredient commensurate with the intended daily dosage range to be employed.
The compounds of formula (I) of the present invention are typically administered in the form of pharmaceutical compositions. The pharmaceutical compositions may be prepared by methods well known in the pharmaceutical industry and comprise at least one active compound. Typically, the compounds of the present invention are administered in a pharmaceutically effective amount. The amount of the compound actually administered will generally be determined by a physician, in the light of the relevant circumstances, including the condition to be treated, the chosen route of administration, the actual compound administered, the age, weight, response, severity of the patient's symptoms, and the like, of each patient.
The pharmaceutical compositions of the present invention may be administered by a variety of routes including oral, rectal, transdermal, subcutaneous, intravenous, intramuscular, and intranasal. Compositions for oral administration may take the form of large liquid solutions or suspensions, or large powders. More typically, however, the compositions will be presented in unit dosage form to facilitate accurate administration. The term "unit dosage form" refers to physically discrete units suitable for use as unitary dosages by humans or other mammals, each unit containing a predetermined quantity of active material calculated to produce the desired therapeutic effect, in association with a suitable pharmaceutical excipient. Typical unit dosage forms include prefilled, pre-metered ampoules or injections of liquid compositions, or pills, tablets, capsules and the like of solid compositions. In such compositions, the substituted methylene amide (derivative) derivatives according to the present invention are generally a minor component (about 0.1 to 50% by weight or preferably about 1 to 40% by weight), the remainder being various excipients or carriers and processing aids to aid in the formation of the desired dosage form.
Liquid forms suitable for oral administration may include aqueous or non-aqueous vehicles containing buffers, suspending and dispersing agents, colors, flavors, and the like as appropriate. The solid form may include, for example, any of the following ingredients or compounds of similar nature: a binder (such as microcrystalline cellulose, tragacanth or gelatin), an excipient (such as starch or lactose), a disintegrant (such as alginic acid, Primogel, or corn starch), a lubricant (such as magnesium stearate), a glidant (such as colloidal silicon dioxide), a sweetening agent (such as sucrose or saccharin), or a flavoring agent (such as peppermint, methyl salicylate, or orange flavoring).
Injectable compositions are typically based on sterile injectable saline or phosphate buffered saline or other injectable carriers known in the art. As mentioned above, the substituted methylene amide derivatives of formula (I) are generally minor ingredients in such compositions, often in the range of 0.05 to 10% by weight, with the remainder being injectable carriers and the like.
The above ingredients for oral or injectable compositions are representative only. Further materials and processing techniques, etc., may be found in Remington's Pharmaceutical Sciences (20 th edition, 2000, Marck publishing company, Easton, Pa., USA), which is incorporated herein by reference.
The compounds of the present invention may also be administered in sustained release form or from a sustained release drug delivery system. A description of representative sustained release materials is also provided above in Remington's pharmaceutical sciences.

Example 53: [35S]GTP γ S binding assay
[35S]The GTP γ S assay measures the increase in guanylate exchange on cell membrane G-proteins resulting from the binding of an agonist (PGD2) to CRTH 2. This process can be performed by contacting a cell membrane containing the G-protein and CRTH2 with GDP and [2 ]35S]GTP gamma S (radiolabeled GTP water resistanceAnalog) in vitro culture was monitored (see Harrison et al, Life Sciences 74, 489-. The addition of pyrazine sulfonamide results in binding to CRTH2, thereby inhibiting agonist binding, which can be monitored as inhibition of the stimulation of GTP/GDP exchange.
The assay conditions were the same as for the radioligand binding assay described in example 21. [35S]GTP γ S binding assays were performed at 30 ℃ on 96-well white polystyrene scintillation plates (Perkin Elmer, USA) in a final volume of 200 μ l containing 2% dimethylsulfoxide (Me)2SO). 2, 3-substituted pyrazine sulfonamides at 20mM HEPES/KOH (pH7.4), 10mM MgCl210 μ g/ml Saponin, 3 μ M GDP, 150mM NaCl, 10 μ g hRTH 2 receptor expressing membrane (Euroscreen, Belgium) for 10 min.

Example 54: CHS model
A contact hypersensitivity model can be used to assess the therapeutic effect of 2, 3-substituted pyrazine sulfonamides on T cell mediated skin inflammation. The present model is suitably established for the identification of dermatological indications such as psoriasis and allergic contact dermatitis (Xu et al. J Exp Med.183, 1001-12, 1996). It is involved in the sensitisation phase and subsequent challenge with an antigen (DNFB, 2, 4-dinitrofluorobenzene). This leads to skin inflammation, formation of skin edema and cellular infiltration. The degree of edema can be measured at the challenge site (mouse ear) using calipers. Intravenous administration of the compounds of the invention 30 minutes prior to DNFB challenge resulted in a reduction in swelling and thus reduced skin inflammation compared to the positive control group treated with vehicle alone prior to antigen challenge. The negative control mice were not sensitized but challenged with DNFB, and thus did not develop T phase-dependent inflammatory responses nor edema. Balb/c mice were obtained from Charles river (Calcco, Italy). The animals were placed in conventional animal facilities. Treatment started at an average week age of 8-12 weeks.
DNFB (2, 4-dinitrofluorobenzene) was purchased from Sigma-Aldrich (St. Louis, Mo., USA).
Sensitization and CHS challenge with DNFB
Sensitization and challenge to mice resulted in CHS to DNFB. The allergic phase is followed by the challenge phase. The DNFB was diluted with acetone/olive oil (4/1) before use. Mice were shaved on the back and sensitized to DNFB by applying 25 μ l of 0.5% DNFB solution to the skin. After 5 days, 10 μ l of 0.2% DNFB (challenge) was administered bilaterally in the right ear. Ear thickness was measured on day 6 (1 day after challenge) with a caliper (Mitutoyo, milan, italy). Calculation of ear swelling: ((Tn-T5) right ear- (Tn-T5) left ear), where Tn and T5 represent the ear thickness on day n of study and day 5 before challenge, respectively.
