Definitions

  • PGD2 belongs to the class of prostaglandins derived from arachidonic acid. It is the predominant prostanoid produced by activated mast cells and is involved in the pathogenesis of allergic diseases such as asthma, rhinitis and atopic dermatitis (see Lewis et al. J. Immunol. 129:1627 (1982), Hardy et al., N. Eng. J. Med. 311: 209 (1984), Murray et al., N. Eng. J. Med. 315: 800 (1986), Barry et al., Br. J. Pharmacol. 94:773 (1988). PGD2 is a ligand for the DP receptor and was initially thought to elicit all its biological actions through this receptor.
  • DP deficient mice The role of the DP receptor in allergic asthma has been demonstrated with DP deficient mice (see Matsuoka et al Science 287: 2013 (2000)). More recently PGD2 was identified as the ligand for another G-protein coupled receptor referred to as “chemoattractant receptor-homologous molecule expressed on Th2” or simply “CRTH2” (see Tanaka et al., J. Immunol. 164:2277 (2000), and U.S. Patent Application Publication No. US2002/0022218). CRTh2 is expressed on basophils, eosinophils and immune helper cells of the Th2 type.
  • Th2 cells have been shown to be involved in the orchestration of allergic response (see Wills-Karp, Annual Review of Immunology, 17: 255 (1999)).

Description

    CROSS REFERENCE TO RELATED APPLICATIONS
  • This application is a continuation of U.S. patent application Ser. No. 10/678,872, filed Oct. 3, 2003, which claims the benefit of U.S. Provisional Application No. 60/416,501, filed Oct. 4, 2002, now abandoned. Each of these applications is hereby incorporated in its entirety by reference herein.
    • BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION
  • PGD2 belongs to the class of prostaglandins derived from arachidonic acid. It is the predominant prostanoid produced by activated mast cells and is involved in the pathogenesis of allergic diseases such as asthma, rhinitis and atopic dermatitis (see Lewis et al. J. Immunol. 129:1627 (1982), Hardy et al., N. Eng. J. Med. 311: 209 (1984), Murray et al., N. Eng. J. Med. 315: 800 (1986), Barry et al., Br. J. Pharmacol. 94:773 (1988). PGD2 is a ligand for the DP receptor and was initially thought to elicit all its biological actions through this receptor. The role of the DP receptor in allergic asthma has been demonstrated with DP deficient mice (see Matsuoka et al Science 287: 2013 (2000)). More recently PGD2 was identified as the ligand for another G-protein coupled receptor referred to as “chemoattractant receptor-homologous molecule expressed on Th2” or simply “CRTH2” (see Tanaka et al., J. Immunol. 164:2277 (2000), and U.S. Patent Application Publication No. US2002/0022218). CRTh2 is expressed on basophils, eosinophils and immune helper cells of the Th2 type. Th2 cells have been shown to be involved in the orchestration of allergic response (see Wills-Karp, Annual Review of Immunology, 17: 255 (1999)). It has been shown that PGD2 induces chemotaxis in Th2 cells and eosinophils via the CRTH2 receptor, suggesting that CRTh2 may play a pro-inflammatory role in allergic diseases (see Hirai et al. J. Exp. Med. 193: 255 (2001). It has also been shown that in atopic dermatitis patients there is an increase in circulating T cells expressing CRTh2 which correlates with the severity of the disease. (see Cosmi et al. Eur. J. Immunol. 30: 2972(2000), Iwazaki et al. J. Investigative Dermatology, 119: 609 (2002). Thus, PGD2 is involved in various aspects of inflammation through its receptors DP and CRTh2. Antagonists of CRTH2 and DP are therefore expected to be useful in the treatment of PGD2 mediated disorders. Unfortunately, there are few if any known CRTH2 inhibitors. As a consequence, clinicians will be unable to exploit these discoveries until new CRTH2 inhibitors are developed.
    • SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION
  • It has now been found that certain 1,2,3,4-tetrahydro-quinolin-4-yl-amines are potent inhibitors of CRTH2. For example, many compounds effectively inhibited the binding of PGD2 to HEK-293 cells which stably express CRTH2 at a Ki of less than 1.0 μM. Based on this discovery, inhibitors of CRTH2, pharmaceutical compositions comprising these inhibitors and methods of inhibiting CRTH2 activity in a subject in need of such treatment are disclosed herein.

  • Many of the disclosed CRTH2 inhibitors contain one or more chiral centers. The presence of chiral centers in a molecule gives rise to stereoisomers. For example, a pair of optical isomers, referred to as “enantiomers”, exist for every chiral center in a molecule; and a pair of diastereomers exist for every chiral center in a compound having two or more chiral centers. Even though Structural Formulas (I)-(VIII) do not explicitly depict stereochemistry, it is to be understood that these formulas encompass enantiomers free from the corresponding optical isomer, racemic mixtures, mixtures enriched in one enantiomer relative to its corresponding optical isomer, a diastereomer free of other diastereomers, a pair of diastereomers free from other diasteromeric pairs, mixtures of diasteromers, mixtures of diasteromeric pairs, mixtures of diasteromers in which one diastereomer is enriched relative to the other diastereomer(s) and mixtures of diasteromeric pairs in which one diastereomeric pair is enriched relative to the other diastereomeric pair(s).
  • A preferred diastereomeric pair is when R2 and NRxR3 in Structural Formulas (I)-(VIII) are cis relative to one another. By way of example, the cis diastereomeric pair for the compound represented by Structural Formula (II) is shown below in Structural Formulas (IX) and (X):
    Figure US20060106061A1-20060518-C00006
  • The preferred configuration for R2 and NRxR3 (depicted by N(R3)(COR4) in Structural Formulas (IX) and (X) is (2R, 4S), as shown in Structural Formula (IX). Thus, Structural Formula (IX) represents a preferred optical isomer for the compound represented by Structural Formula (II). Similarly, the corresponding (2R,4S) optical isomer for the compounds represented by Structural Formulas (I) and (III)-(VIII) and Tables 1-6 are also specifically disclosed. The more preferred configuration for R2 and NRxR3 (depicted by N(R3)(COR4)) in Structural Formulas (IX) and (X) is (2S, 4R), as shown in Structural Formula (X). Thus, Structural Formula (X) represents a more preferred optical isomer for the compound represented by Structural Formulas (I) and (III)-(VIII) and in Tables 1-6. As used herein, a structure depicting one optical isomer or a reference to one optical isomer is meant to include enantiomeric mixtures which are enriched with the depicted or referenced enantiomer relative to its optical isomer, for example, an enantiomeric excess of at least 50%, 75%, 90%, 95% 99% or 99.5%. As used herein, a structure depicting a diastereomeric pair or a reference to one diasteromeric pair is meant to include mixtures which are enriched with the depicted or referenced diastereomeric pair relative to other diastereomers or diastereomeric pair(s) for the compound, for example, a molar excess of at least 50%, 75%, 90%, 95% 99% or 99.5%.
  • The enantiomers of the present invention may be resolved by methods known to those skilled in the art, for example by formation of diastereoisomeric salts which may be separated, for example, by crystallization; formation of diastereoisomeric derivatives or complexes which may be separated, for example, by crystallization, gas-liquid or liquid chromatography; selective reaction of one enantiomer with an enantiomer-specific reagent, for example enzymatic esterification; or gas-liquid or liquid chromatography in a chiral environment, for example on a chiral support for example silica with a bound chiral ligand or in the presence of a chiral solvent. Where the desired enantiomer is converted into another chemical entity by one of the separation procedures described above, a further step is required to liberate the desired enantiomeric form. Alternatively, specific enantiomers may be synthesized by asymmetric synthesis using optically active reagents, substrates, catalysts or solvents, or by converting one enantiomer into the other by asymmetric transformation.
  • The diastereoisomeric pairs may be separated by methods known to those skilled in the art, for example chromatography or crystallization and the individual enantiomers within each pair may be separated as described above. Specific procedures for chromatographically separating diastereomeric pairs of precursors used in the preparation of compounds disclosed herein are provided in Scheme 1 and 2.

  • A subject with one of the aforementioned diseases or conditions is said “to be in need of CRTH2 inhibition”. The subject with a disease or condition of this type is “treated” when at least one of the symptoms associated with the disease or condition is alleviated (therapeutic treatment) or inhibited or prevented (prophylactic treatment), in whole or in part.
  • A “subject” is a mammal, preferably a human, but can also be an animal in need of veterinary treatment, e.g., companion animals (e.g., dogs, cats, and the like), farm animals (e.g., cows, sheep, pigs, horses, and the like) and laboratory animals (e.g., rats, mice, guinea pigs, and the like). As noted above, a “subject in need of CRTH2 inhibition” is a subject in whom a beneficial therapeutic or prophylactic effect can be achieved by inhibiting CRTH2 function or activity.
  • An “effective amount” of the disclosed CRTH2 inhibitors is the quantity which inhibits CRTH2 activity in a subject in need of such inhibition, or which, when administered to a subject which has a condition or disease which can be prophylactically or therapeutically treated by inhibiting CRTH2 activity, ameliorates the symptoms of the disease, delays the onset of the symptoms and/or increases longevity. The precise amount of CRTH2 inhibitor administered to the subject will depend on the type and severity of the disease or condition and on the characteristics of the subject, such as general health, age, sex, body weight and tolerance to drugs. The dosage may also vary according to the route of administration, which includes oral, aerosol, rectal, transdermal, subcutaneous, intravenous, intramuscular, intraperitoneal and intranasal.
  • The skilled artisan will be able to determine appropriate dosages depending on these and other factors. An “effective amount” typically ranges between about 0.01 mg/kg/day to about 100 mg/kg/day, preferably between about 0.5 mg/kg/day to about 50 mg/kg/day.
  • The CRTH2 inhibitors described herein, and the pharmaceutically acceptable salts thereof can be used in pharmaceutical preparations in combination with a pharmaceutically acceptable carrier or diluent. Suitable pharmaceutically acceptable carriers include inert solid fillers or diluents and sterile aqueous or organic solutions. The CRTH2 inhibitor will be present in such pharmaceutical compositions in amounts sufficient to provide the desired dosage amount in the range described herein. Techniques for formulation and administration of the compounds of the instant invention can be found in Remington: the Science and Practice of pharmacy, 19th edition, Mack Publishing Co., Easton, Pa. (1995).
  • For oral administration, the CRTH2 inhibitor or salts thereof can be combined with a suitable solid or liquid carrier or diluent to form capsules, tablets, pills, powders, syrups, solutions, suspensions and the like.
  • The tablets, pills, capsules, and the like contain from about 1 to about 99 weight percent of the active ingredient and a binder such as gum tragacanth, acacias, corn starch or gelatin; excipients such as dicalcium phosphate; a disintegrating agent such as corn starch, potato starch, alginic acid, a lubricant such as magnesium stearate; and a sweetening agent such as sucrose lactose or saccharin. When a dosage unit form is a capsule, it may contain, in addition to materials of the above type, a liquid carrier such as a fatty oil.
  • Various other materials may be present as coatings or to modify the physical form of the dosage unit. For instance, tablets may be coated with shellac, sugar or both. A syrup or elixir may contain, in addition to the active ingredient, sucrose as a sweetening agent, methyl and propylparabens as preservatives, a dye and a flavoring such as cherry or orange flavor.
  • For parental administration, the disclosed CRTH2 inhibitor, or salts thereof can be combined with sterile aqueous or organic media to form injectable solutions or suspensions. For example, solutions in sesame or peanut oil, aqueous propylene glycol and the like can be used, as well as aqueous solutions of water-soluble pharmaceutically-acceptable salts of the compounds. Dispersions can also be prepared in glycerol, liquid polyethylene glycols and mixtures thereof in oils. Under ordinary conditions of storage and use, these preparations contain a preservative to prevent the growth of microorganisms.
  • In addition, to the formulations described previously, the compounds may also be formulated as a depot preparation. Such long acting formulations may be administered by implantation, for example, subcutaneously or intramuscularly or by intramuscular injection. Thus, for example, as an emulsion in an acceptable oil, or ion exchange resins, or as sparingly soluble derivatives, for example, as sparingly soluble salts.
