BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION

Chemokine is known as a basic protein having endogeneous leukocyte chemotactic and activating abilities and heparin-binding abilities. At present, it is considered that chemokine is related to not only the control of infiltration of specific leukocyte at the time of inflammations and immune responses but also the development and homing of lymphocyte under physiological conditions and migration of hemocyte precursor cells and somatic cells.
Differentiation, proliferation and cell death of hemocytes are controlled by various types of cytokine. In the living body, inflammations are found topically and differentiation, maturation and the like of lymphocytes are carried out at certain specified sites. That is, various necessary cells migrate into certain specified sites and accumulate therein to cause a series of inflammations and immune responses. Accordingly, migration of cells is also an indispensable phenomenon in addition to differentiation, proliferation and death of cells.
Migration of hemocytes in the living body starts firstly in the development stage by the shift of hematopoiesis started in the AGM (aorta gonad mesonephros) region into permanent hematopoiesis in bone marrow via fetal liver. Furthermore, precursor cells of T cells and thymus dendritic cells migrate from the fetal liver into the bone marrow and then into the thymus gland and cytodifferentiate under thymus environment. The T cell which received clone selection migrates into secondary lymphoid tissues and takes part in an immune response in the periphery. The Langerhans' cell of the skin activated and differentiated by capturing an antigen migrates into the T cell region of a topical lymph node and activates naive T cell therein as a dendritic cell. The memory T cell performs its homing again into the lymph node via lymphatic and blood vessels. Also, B cell, T cell in the intestinal epithelium, γδ T cell, NKT cell and dendritic cell migrate from bone marrow without passing through the thymus gland and differentiate to take part in an immune response.
Chemokine is deeply concerned in the migration of various cells. For example, in order to effect efficient encounter of an antibody-captured mature dendritic cell with a naëve T cell and a memory T cell, MIP 3β (macrophage inflammatory protein 3β) SLC (secondary lymphoid tissue chemokine) and CCR7 as a receptor thereof are taking an important role in the migration and homing of these cells to a topical lymphoid tissue. T cells and dendritic cells necessary for controlling antigen-specific immune response are hardly observed in the secondary lymph node of PLT mouse having defection in the SLC expression (J. Exp. Med., 189 (3), 451 (1999)).
MDC (macrophage-derived chemokine), TARC (thymus and activation-regulated chemokine) and CCR4 as a receptor thereof are taking an important role in the migration of Th2 cell into a topical region in immune and inflammatory responses in which the Th2 cell is concerned. In a rat fulminant hepatitis model (P. acnes+LPS), an anti-TARC antibody inhibited increase of the blood ALT level and increase of the expression quantity of TNFα, and FasL in the liver, and improved rat lethality (J. Invest., 102, 1933 (1998)). Also, in a mouse OVA-induced airway hypersensitivity model, an anti-MDC antibody reduced the number of eosinophils accumulating in the lung interstitium and inhibited the airway hypersensitivity (J. Immunology, 163, 403 (1999)).
MCP-1 (monocyte chemoattractant protein-1) and its receptor CCR2 are concerned in the infiltration of macrophage into inflammatory regions. In a rat anti-Thy1.1 antibody glomerular nephritis model, an anti-MCP-1 antibody showed an effect to inhibit infiltration of monocyte and macrophage into the uterine body (Kidney Int., 51, 770 (1997)).
Thus, chemokine receptors are greatly concerned in the control of inflammatory and immune responses through a mechanism in which they are expressed in various specific cells at a specified period, and the effector cells are accumulated into a region where the chemokine is produced.
Acquired immunodeficiency syndrome (called AIDS) which is induced by human immunodeficiency virus (hereinafter referred to as “HIV”) is one of the diseases of which their therapeutic methods are most earnestly desired in recent years. Once infection with HIV is completed in a CD4-positive cell which is a principal target cell, HIV repeats its proliferation in the body of the patient and, sooner or later, completely destroys T cell which takes charge of the immunological function. During this process, the immunological function is gradually reduced to cause fever, diarrhea, lymph node enlargement and the like various immunodeficiency conditions which are apt to cause complications with pneumocystis carinii pneumonia and the like various opportunistic infections. Such conditions are the onset of AIDS, and it is well known that they induce and worsen Kaposi sarcoma and the like malignant tumors.
As the recent preventive and therapeutic methods for AIDS, attempts have been made to, e.g., (1) inhibit growth of HIV by the administration of a reverse transcriptase inhibitor or a protease inhibitor and (2) prevent or alleviate opportunistic infections by the administration of a drug having immunopotentiation activity.
Helper T cells which take charge of the central of immune system are mainly infected with HIV. It is known since 1985 that HIV uses the membrane protein CD4 expressing on the membrane of T cells in the infection (Cell, 52, 631 (1985)). The CD4 molecule is composed of 433 amino acid residues, and its expression can be found in macrophages, some B cells, vascular endothelial cells, Langerhans' cells in skin tissues, dendritic cells in lymphoid tissues, glia cells of the central nervous system and the like, in addition to the mature helper T cells. However, since it has been revealed that the infection with HIV is not completed by the CD4 molecule alone, a possibility has been suggested on the presence of factors other than the CD4 molecule, which are related to the infection of cells with HIV.
In 1996, a cell membrane protein called Fusin was identified as a factor concerned in the HIV infection of other than CD4 molecule (Science, 272, 872 (1996)). It was shown that this Fusin molecule is a receptor of a stromal cell-derived factor-1 (Stromal Derived Factor-1: to be referred to as SDF-1) (that is, CXCR4). In addition, it was shown also that SDF-1 specifically inhibits T cell-directional (X4) HIV infection (Nature, 382, 829 (1996), Nature, 382, 833 (1996)). That is, it is considered that the HIV infection was inhibited through the deprivation of a foothold for HIV to infect upon cells, effected by the binding of SDF-1 to CXCR4 prior to that of HIV.
In addition, it was discovered during the same period that CCR5 as another chemokine receptor which is the receptor of RANTES, MIP-1α and MIP-1β is also utilized in infecting macrophage-directional (R5) HIV (Science, 272, 1955 (1996)).
Accordingly, a substance which can scramble for HIV and CXCR4 or CCR5, or which can bind to HIV virus to provide such a state that said virus cannot bind to CXCR4 or CCR5, may become an HIV infection inhibitor. In addition, there is a case in which a low molecular compound discovered in the beginning as an HIV infection inhibitor was found to be a CXCR4 antagonist in reality (Nature Medicine, 4, 72 (1998)).
Based on the above, it is considered that chemokine receptors are deeply related to various inflammatory diseases, immune diseases such as autoimmune diseases or allergic diseases, or HIV infection. For example, it is considered that they are related to asthma, nephritis, nephropathy, hepatitis, arthritis, rheumatoid arthritis, rhinitis, conjunctivitis, ulcerative colitis, and the like, rejection in organ transplantation, immunosuppression, psoriasis, multiple sclerosis, infection with human immunodeficiency virus (acquired immunodeficiency syndrome and the like), atopic dermatitis, uticaria, allergic bronchopulmonary aspergillosis, allergic eosinophilic gastroenteritis, ischemic reperfusion injury, acute respiratory distress syndrome, shock accompanying bacterial infection, diabetes mellitus, cancer metastasis, arteriosclerosis and the like.

wherein A^izand B^jzare each independently selected from carbon, nitrogen, oxygen or sulfur (however, at least one atom of A^izis carbon, and at least one of B^jzis carbon);

Pharmacological Activities of the Compounds of the Present Invention:

As pharmacological tests other than those described in Examples, for example, there are methods shown above. The chemokine receptor antagonism of the compounds of the present invention can be proved by the methods shown above.
For the purpose of carrying out screening of a compound which inhibits binding of HIV to CXCR4 or CCR5 as the receptor on the CD4-positive cell, a more direct technique is to carry it out by an assay system that uses HIV virus. However, use of HIV virus in a large scale screening is not practical in view of the difficulty in its handling. On the other hand, since macrophage-directional (R5) HIV-1 and RANTES, MIP-1α and MIP-1β together bind to CCR5, it can be considered that there are certain common characteristics between the CCR5 binding sites of the HIV side and the RANTES, MIP-1α and MIP-1β side and the CCR5 side RANTES, MIP-1α, MIP-1β and HIV binding sites. Accordingly, in order to discover a compound capable of inhibiting adsorption of HIV virus to cells which is an action mechanism different from the already existing anti-AIDS drugs (reverse transcription inhibitor and protease inhibition), an assay system that uses RANTES, MIP-1α and MIP-1β as endogenous ligands of CCR5, instead of HIV, is applicable.
Specifically, as a system for screening a compound capable of inhibiting binding of RANTES and CCR5, for example, since CCR5 is a G protein-coupling 7 times transmembrane type receptor, it is possible to carry out a system which measures the effect of transient increase of calcium (Ca) ion induced by RANTES via CCR5. Since T cell-directional (X4) HIV and SDF-1 together bind to CXCR4, similar viewpoint is possible.

Biological Example

The fact that the compound of the present invention represented by formula (I) has CCR5 antagonism or CCR2 antagonism was demonstrated, for example, by the following experiment. The total operation was based on the basic genetic engineering to prepare gene-highly expressing cells, and the ordinary methods were utilized. Also, in the assaying method of the present invention, in order to evaluate the compound of the present invention, assaying accuracy and/or assaying sensitivity was improved as described below. The detailed experimental methods are shown below.

Test Method:

(1) Isolation of Human CCR5 Gene

Human placental cDNA was prepared using Marathon cDNA amplification kit (Clontech). PCR primers hCCR5Xbal-F1:

5′-AGCTAGTCTAGATCCGTTCCCCTACAAGAAACTCTCC-3′ (SEQ ID NO:1) and hCCR5Xbal-R1:
5′-AGCTAGTCTAGAGTGCACAACTCTGACTGGGTCACCA-3′ (SEQ ID NO:2) were designed based on the sequence of GenBank U54994.

Using the human placental cDNA as the template and using Ex Taq (Takara), PCR reaction (2 minutes at 95° C.→(30 seconds at 95° C., 45 seconds at 60° C., 1 minute at 72° C.)×35 times) was carried out. The thus amplified PCR product was subjected to a 1% agarose gel electrophoresis, purified using QIAquick Gel Extraction Kit (QUIAGEN) and then digested with a restriction enzyme XbaI. The digested fragments were ligated to an expression vector pEF-BOS-bsr using DNA Ligation Kit Ver. 2 (Takara) and transformed into Escherichia coli DH5α. By preparing the resulting plasmid pEF-BOS-bsr/hCCR5, its DNA sequence was verified.

(2) Culturing of CHO Cell

CHO-dhfr(−) was cultured using Ham's F-12 (containing fetal bovine serum (10%), penicillin (50 U/mL) and streptomycin (50 mg/mL)). Also, the transduced cell was cultured by adding blasticidin (5 mg/mL) to the above medium.
(3) Transduction into CHO Cell
The plasmid pEF-BOS-bsr/hCCR5 was transduced into the CHO-dhfr(−) cell using DMRIE-C reagent (Gibco BRL). After 48 hours, the medium was replaced with a medium containing 5 mg/ml of blasticidin to carry out the selection, thereby establishing a stably over-expressing cell.

(4) Inhibition Test on the Binding of RANTES to CCR5 (Activity of RANTES to Induce Transient Increase of Ca Ion).

The thus established human CCR5 stably over-expressing CHO cell (CCR5/CHO cell) was suspended in Ham's F-12 medium containing FBS (10%) and seeded at a density of 3.0×10⁶cells/well into a 96 well plate. One day after culturing at 37° C., the culture supernatant was discarded, and Ham's F-12 medium (containing Fura-2AM (5 μM), Probenecid (2.5 mM) and HEPES (20 mM; pH 7.4)) was dispensed in 80 μl/well portions to carry out 1 hour of incubation at 37° C. under shaded condition. After washing twice with 1× Hanks/HEPES (20 mM; pH 7.4) solution, the same solution was dispensed in 100 μl/well portions. Each of the test compounds was added to the thus Fura-2AM-incorporated CCR5/CHO cell, and 3 minutes thereafter, a recombinant human RANTES (PeproTach) diluted with 1× Hanks/HEPES (20 mM; pH 7.4) solution was added thereto to a final concentration of 10 nM. Transient increase in the intracellular Ca²⁺ concentration induced by the human RANTES was measured using a Ca²⁺ detector for 96 well use (Hamamatsu Photonics), and inhibition ratio (%) of the test compound was calculated by the following calculation formula.
Inhibition ratio=(Ec−Ea)/Ec×100

- Ec: measured value of Ca²⁺ transient increase by RANTES
- Ea: measured value of Ca²⁺ transient increase by RANTES when a test compound was added.

As a result, the compounds of the present invention showed an inhibition ratio of 50% or more at 10 μM.

(5) Inhibition Test on the Binding of MCP-1 to CCR2 (Activity of MCP-1 to Induce Transient Increase of Ca Ion).

Human CCR2-expressing cells, for example, human monocyte cell line THP-1 (ATCC No. TIB-202), were suspended in RPMI1640 medium containing FBS (10%), Fura2-AM (5 μM), Probenecid (2.5 mM) and HEPES (20 mM; pH 7.4) to give a density of 5.0×10⁶cells/ml and incubated at 37° C. for 30 minutes under shading. Then, 4-fold to 8-fold 1× Hanks/HEPES (20 mM; pH 7.4)/Probenecid (2.5 mM) was added thereto, followed by further incubation at 37° C. for 30 minutes under shading. After the cells were washed with 1× Hanks/HEPES (20 mM; pH 7.4)/Probenecid (2.5 mM) solution, the cells were suspended again by the same solution to give a density of 2.0×10⁶cells/ml and added to a 96-well plate at 100 μl/well. Each of the test compounds was added, and 3 minutes thereafter, a recombinant human MCP-1 (PeproTach) diluted with 1× Hanks/HEPES (20 mM; pH 7.4)/Probenecid (2.5 mM) was added thereto to a final concentration of 30 nM. Transient increase in the intracellular Ca²⁺ concentration induced by the human MCP-1 was measured using a Ca²⁺ detector for 96 well use (Hamamatsu Photonics), and inhibition ratio (%) of the test compound was calculated by the following calculation formula.
Inhibition ratio=(Ec−Ea)/Ec×100

- Ec: measured value of Ca²⁺ transient increase by MCP-1
- Ea: measured value of Ca²⁺ transient increase by MCP-1 when a test compound was added.

As a result, the compounds of the present invention inhibited binding of MCP-1 and CCR2. For example, the compound of Example 37 showed an inhibition ratio of 50% or more at 10 μM.
