Definitions

  • the present invention is concerned with the besylate salts of substituted nitrogen-containing six- membered amino-heterocycles and analogues and derivatives thereof, which are useful as therapeutic compounds, particularly in the treatment of pain and other conditions ameliorated by the modulation of the function of the vanilloid-1 receptor (VRl).
  • VRl vanilloid-1 receptor
  • the pharmacologically active ingredient of chilli peppers has been recognised for some time to be the phenolic amide capsaicin.
  • the beneficial effects of topical administration of capsaicin as an analgesic is also well established.
  • understanding of the underlying molecular pharmacology mediating these responses to capsaicin has been a more recent development.
  • VRl receptor The receptor for capsaicin, termed the vanilloid VRl receptor, was cloned by Caterina and colleagues at UCSF in 1997 (Nature, 398:816, 1997).
  • VRl receptors are cation channels that are found on sensory nerves that innervate the skin, viscera, peripheral tissues and spinal cord. Activation of VRl elicits action potentials in sensory fibres that ultimately generate the sensation of pain.
  • the VRl receptor is activated not only by capsaicin but also by acidic pH and by noxious heat stimuli. It is also sensitized by a number of inflammatory mediators and thus appears to be a polymodal integrator of painful stimuli.
  • the prototypical VRl antagonist is capsazepine (Walpole et al., J. Med. Chem., 37:1942, 1994) - VRl IC 50 of 42OnM.
  • a novel series of sub-micromolar antagonists has also been reported recently (Lee et al, Bioorg. Med. Chem., 9:1713, 2001), but these reports provide no evidence for in vivo efficacy.
  • a much higher affinity antagonist has been derived from the 'ultra-potent' agonist resiniferatoxin.
  • Iodo-resiniferatoxin (Wahl et al, MoI. Pharmacol, 59:9, 2001) is a nanomolar antagonist of VRl but does not possess properties suitable for an oral pharmaceutical.

Description

BESYLATE SALTS OF SIX-MEMBERED AMINO-HETEROCYCLES AS VANILLOID-I RECEPTOR ANTAGONISTS FOR TREATING PAIN
The present invention is concerned with the besylate salts of substituted nitrogen-containing six- membered amino-heterocycles and analogues and derivatives thereof, which are useful as therapeutic compounds, particularly in the treatment of pain and other conditions ameliorated by the modulation of the function of the vanilloid-1 receptor (VRl).
The pharmacologically active ingredient of chilli peppers has been recognised for some time to be the phenolic amide capsaicin. The application of capsaicin to mucous membranes or when injected intradermally, causes intense burning- like pain in humans. The beneficial effects of topical administration of capsaicin as an analgesic is also well established. However, understanding of the underlying molecular pharmacology mediating these responses to capsaicin has been a more recent development.
The receptor for capsaicin, termed the vanilloid VRl receptor, was cloned by Caterina and colleagues at UCSF in 1997 (Nature, 398:816, 1997). VRl receptors are cation channels that are found on sensory nerves that innervate the skin, viscera, peripheral tissues and spinal cord. Activation of VRl elicits action potentials in sensory fibres that ultimately generate the sensation of pain. Importantly the VRl receptor is activated not only by capsaicin but also by acidic pH and by noxious heat stimuli. It is also sensitized by a number of inflammatory mediators and thus appears to be a polymodal integrator of painful stimuli.
The prototypical VRl antagonist is capsazepine (Walpole et al., J. Med. Chem., 37:1942, 1994) - VRl IC50 of 42OnM. A novel series of sub-micromolar antagonists has also been reported recently (Lee et al, Bioorg. Med. Chem., 9:1713, 2001), but these reports provide no evidence for in vivo efficacy. A much higher affinity antagonist has been derived from the 'ultra-potent' agonist resiniferatoxin. Iodo-resiniferatoxin (Wahl et al, MoI. Pharmacol, 59:9, 2001) is a nanomolar antagonist of VRl but does not possess properties suitable for an oral pharmaceutical. This last is also true of the micromolar peptoid antagonists described by Garcia -Martinez (Proc. Natl. Acad. ScI, USA, 99:2374, 2002). WO-A- 0208221 has described a novel series of VRl antagonists, which are stated to show efficacy in a number of animal models. We herein describe another novel series of VRl modulators. These comprise predominantly VRl antagonists but encompass VRl partial antagonists and VRl partial agonists. Such compounds have been shown to be efficacious in animal models of pain.
Related compounds are disclosed in WO-A -03099284 (Amgen Inc.). There is no disclosure of compounds in which Y is quinoline or isoquinoline. Preferred compounds of the present invention have improved pharmacokinetics with lower clearance and thus improved half- life. The compounds used in the present invention are described in WO 05/047279 (Merck & Co.,
Inc.) hereby incorporated by reference.

"Heterocyclic" in the above is interchangeable with "heteroaromatic".
The salts may be formed by conventional means, such as by reacting the free base form of the compound of formula I with one or more equivalents of the appropriate acid in a solvent or medium in which the salt is insoluble, or in a solvent such as water which is removed in vacuo or by freeze drying or by exchanging the anions of an existing salt for another anion on a suitable ion exchange resin.
The present invention also includes within its scope N-oxides of the compounds of formula I above. In general, such N-oxides may be formed on any available nitrogen atom. The N-oxides may be formed by conventional means, such as reacting the compound of formula I with oxone in the presence of wet alumina. The present invention includes within its scope prodrugs of the compounds of formula I above.
In general, such prodrugs will be functional derivatives of the compounds of formula I which are readily convertible in vivo into the required compound of formula I. Conventional procedures for the selection and preparation of suitable prodrug derivatives are described, for example, in "Design of Prodrugs", ed. H. Bundgaard, Elsevier, 1985. A prodrug may be a pharmacologically inactive derivative of a biologically active substance (the
"parent drug" or "parent molecule") that requires transformation within the body in order to release the active drug, and that has improved delivery properties over the parent drug molecule. The transformation in vivo may be, for example, as the result of some metabolic process, such as chemical or enzymatic hydrolysis of a carboxylic, phosphoric or sulphate ester, or reduction or oxidation of a susceptible functionality.
The present invention includes within its scope solvates of the compounds of formula for example, hydrates. The compounds according to the invention may have one or more asymmetric centres, and may accordingly exist both as enantiomers and as diastereoisomers. It is to be understood that all such isomers and mixtures thereof are encompassed within the scope of the present invention. Furthermore, the compounds of formula I may also exist in tautomeric forms and the invention includes within its scope both mixtures and separate individual tautomers.
The present invention further provides pharmaceutical compositions comprising one or more compounds of formula I in association with a pharmaceutically acceptable carrier or excipient.
Preferably the compositions according to the invention are in unit dosage forms such as tablets, pills, capsules, powders, granules, sterile parenteral solutions or suspensions, metered aerosol or liquid sprays, drops, ampoules, auto-injector devices, suppositories, creams or gels; for oral, parenteral, intrathecal, intranasal, sublingual, rectal or topical administration, or for administration by inhalation or insufflation. Oral compositions such as tablets, pills, capsules or wafers are particularly preferred. For preparing solid compositions such as tablets, the principal active ingredient is mixed with a pharmaceutical carrier, e.g. conventional tabletting ingredients such as corn starch, lactose, sucrose, sorbitol, talc, stearic acid, magnesium stearate, dicalcium phosphate or gums, and other pharmaceutical diluents, e.g. water, to form a solid pre-formulation composition containing a homogeneous mixture of a compound of the present invention, or a pharmaceutically acceptable salt thereof. When referring to these pre-formulation compositions as homogeneous, it is meant that the active ingredient is dispersed evenly throughout the composition so that the composition may be readily subdivided into equally effective unit dosage forms such as tablets, pills and capsules. This solid pre-formulation composition is then subdivided into unit dosage forms of the type described above containing from 0.1 to about 500 mg of the active ingredient of the present invention. Favoured unit dosage forms contain from 1 to 500 mg, for example 1, 5, 10, 25, 50, 100, 300 or 500 mg, of the active ingredient. The tablets or pills of the novel composition can be coated or otherwise compounded to provide a dosage form affording the advantage of prolonged action. For example, the tablet or pill can comprise an inner dosage and an outer dosage component, the latter being in the form of an envelope over the former. The two components can be separated by an enteric layer that serves to resist disintegration in the stomach and permits the inner component to pass intact into the duodenum or to be delayed in release. A variety of materials can be used for such enteric layers or coatings, such materials including a number of polymeric acids and mixtures of polymeric acids with such materials as shellac, cetyl alcohol and cellulose acetate.
The liquid forms in which the novel compositions of the present invention may be incorporated for administration orally or by injection include aqueous solutions, suitably flavoured syrups, aqueous or oil suspensions, and flavoured emulsions with edible oils such as cottonseed oil, sesame oil, coconut oil or peanut oil, as well as elixirs and similar pharmaceutical vehicles. Suitable dispersing or suspending agents for aqueous suspensions include synthetic and natural gums such as tragacanth, acacia, alginate, dextran, sodium carboxymethylcellulose, methylcellulose, polyvinyl-pyrrolidone or gelatin.
In the treatment of painful conditions such as those listed below, a suitable dosage level is about 1.0 mg to 15 g per day, preferably about 5.0 mg to I g per day, more preferably about 5 mg to 500 mg per day, especially 10 mg to 100 mg per day. The compounds may be administered on a regimen of 1 to 4 times per day.
It will be appreciated that the amount of a compound of formula I required for use in any treatment will vary not only with the particular compounds or composition selected but also with the route of administration, the nature of the conditbn being treated, and the age and condition of the patient, and will ultimately be at the discretion of the attendant physician.
The invention further provides a compound of formula I as defined above, or a pharmaceutically acceptable salt thereof, for use in treatment of the human or animal body. Preferably, said treatment is for a condition which is susceptible to treatment by modulation (preferably antagonism) of VRl receptors.

In general, the besylate salts can be prepared by adding benzene sulfonic acid to a solution of the free base of compound I in a solvent, such as an aprotic solvent, such as DMF, generally at a temperature of about 40°C. To enable crystallization to occur a less polar solvent, such as isopropyl acetate, is added, optionally with seeding with the desired crystalline product. The solution is generally aged for about 30 minutes, with further addition of the less polar solvent, followed by further ageing for one or two hours.
The reaction mixture is generally cooled to 20-25°C, further aged for about two hours and finally filtered, optionally washed and then dried to yield the desired product generally in crystalline form. The following Examples illustrate the present invention.
Example 1 7-(5-Methyl-6-{5-trifluoromethylpyridin-2-y]amino]pyrimidin-4- yDquinolinium benzenesulfonate To a solution of the free base (see Example 41 in WO-A-05047279) in DMF (40 ml) was added benzenesulfonic acid (1.05 eq., 4.3 g, 27.2 mmoi) at 400C. Isopropyl acetate (10 ml) was added into the solution, which was then seeded with the product (10 mg). The solution was aged for 30 min, then more isopropyl acetate (70 ml) was added over 1-2 hours, keeping the internal temperature at ca. 4O0C. After addition, the batch was cooled to 20-250C, aged for 2 hours, then filtered. The resulting cake was washed with isopropyl acetate (10 rriL), then dried to give the title compound (13.4 g, 95 %). IH NMR (400 MHz, DMSO-d6): δ 10.07 (IH, br s), 9.26 (IH, dd, J=4.8,1.5 Hz), 8.94 (IH, d, J= 8.2 Hz), 8.90 (IH, s), 8.79 (IH, m), 8.38 (IH, d, J=8.6 Hz), 8.36 (IH, m), 8.32 (IH, d, J=8.8 Hz), 8.25 (IH, dd, J=8.9, 2.4 Hz), 8.02 (IH, dd, J= 8.5, 1.6 Hz), 7.97 (IH, dd, J=8.4, 4.8 Hz), 7.64-7.58 (2 H, om), 7.35-7.26 (3H, om), 2.37 (3H, s); m/z (ES+) 382 (M+H+).
The following compounds can be prepared according to the procedure described in Example 1.
Figure imgf000017_0001
The above specified compounds of the present invention have been tested in the following assay and generally possess an IC50 < 30OnM and, in the majority of cases, < 200 nM. Other assays, such as electrophysiology using rat VRl expressed in HEK cells measuring activity at various pH levels, can be used.
Determination of in vitro activity
In vitro activity of compounds was measured using one or both of the following assays.
Method 1
CHO cells, stably expressing recombinant rat or human VRl receptors and plated into black-sided 384- well plates, were washed three times with assay buffer (containing Hepes, NaCl2, KCl, MgCt, CaCl2, sucrose, glucose and probenecid, pH 7.4) and then incubated with test compound and 4uM Fluo-3-AM for 60 minutes at room temperature in darkness. Cells were washed three times more to remove excess dye, before being placed, along with plates containing capsaicin and test compounds into a Molecular Devices FLEPR384. The FLEPR384 simultaneously performed automated pharmacological additions and recorded fluorescence emission from Fluo-3. In all experiments, basal fluorescence was recorded, before re-addition of test compounds and subsequent addition of a previously determined concentration of capsaicin that evoked 80% of the maximum response. Inhibition of capsaicin evoked increases in intracellular [Ca2+] were expressed relative to wells on the same plate to which an EC80 concentration of capsaicin was added in the absence of test compounds.
Method 2 Antagonists were ranked by absolute efficacy at a single low concentration vs. activation by either pH 5.5 or capsaicin (500 nM) using a medium-throughput electrophysiology assay. TRPVl activity is initially determined using a 5 second application of 500 nM capsaicin. Agonist (either pH 5.5 or capsaicin) is then applied for 5 seconds followed by a 30 second wash period until a stable control response is achieved. Inhibition of the agonist response is determined following applications of a single concentration of test compound and inhibition is monitored using repeated agonist activation in the presence of the compound until a stable inhibition state is achieved (up to a maximum of 10 minutes of application). If a successful recovery was achieved by re-applying a control wash, additional compounds can be tested sequentially. Inhibition effect of the drug is calculated as the sustained maximum current within the 5 second agonist application divided by the control sustained maximum current before the drug had been applied, multiplied by 100 (= % inhibition @ the test concentration).
