Description

DESCRIPTION C-PHENYL GLYCITOL COMPOUND

TECHNICAL FIELD The present invention relates to a C-phenyl glycitol compound having an inhibitory activity for a sodium dependent glucose cotransporter 1 (SGLTl) and a sodium dependent glucose cotransporter 2 (SGLT2).

BACKGROUND ART

When a person suffers from diabetes , the fasting blood glucose level exhibits 126 mg/dL or more. Even though the fasting blood glucose level falls within a normal range, there is a person exhibiting a postprandial blood glucose level as high as 140 to 200 mg/dL. Such a person is diagnosed as impaired glucose tolerance (hereinafter referred to as "IGT"). It has been considered that the risk of a cardiovascular disorder can be reduced by delaying onset of diabetes from IGT, and several supportive findings for this have been obtained. For example, the Da Qing IGT and Diabetes Study carried out in China in 1997 has reported that progression of IGT into Type II diabetes is significantly suppressed by diet and exercise (see Pan XR, et al., Diabets Care, vol 20, p. 534, 1997). As cases where medication is effective, when an α-glucosidase inhibitor, acarbose, which inhibits a hydrolysis of an oligosaccharide to delay glucose absorption from the small intestine, is administered, development of Type II diabetes from IGT is suppressed and further onset of hypertension is significantly suppressed. This is reported in the document (J.- L. Chiasson, et al., Lancent, vol. 359, p. 2072, 2002)

From the above, to suppress the onset of diabetes, it is important to control IGT by diet therapy, exercise therapy and medication.

Nevertheless, when a person suffers from diabetes, it comes to be necessary to control the blood glucose level at all times . Diabetes is basically treated by diet therapy and exercise therapy; however, when sufficient effect is not obtained by these therapies, medicament must be chosen.

On the small intestine epithelium of a mammal, a sodium dependent glucose cotransporter 1 (SGLTl) is expressed at a high frequency. It is known that SGLTl serves depending upon sodium and plays a role in active transportation of glucose or galactose in the small intestine. Therefore, if glucose taken from a meal can be suppressed, IGT may be prevented or treated. Based on the concept, a pyrazole derivative inhibiting the activity of SGLTl has been reported (see International Publication WO2002/098893, 2004/014932, 2004/018491, 2004/019958, 2005/121161 and 2004/050122).

Furthermore, a sodium dependent glucose cotransporter 2 (SGLT2) is expressed at a high frequency in the kidney. Glucose once filtrated by the glomerulus is reabsorbed via SGLT2 (see E. M. Wright, Am. J. Physiol. Renal. Physiol., vol. 280, p. FlO, 2001). When an SGLT2 inhibitor is administered to a diabetic rat , glucose excretion into urine is facilitated, promoting a hypoglycemic action. From this, an SGLT2-specific inhibitor has been considered as a target molecule serving as a therapeutic agent for diabetes (see G. Toggenburger, et al. Biochem. Biophys . Acta., vol. 688, p. 557, 1982). In these circumstances, studies have been conducted on an SGLT2 inhibitor and various types of 0-aryl glycoside derivatives have been provided (see EP Patent Application Publication No. 0850948A1 and International Publication WO2001/068660) . Accordingly, if the SGLTl and SGLT2 activities can be simultaneously inhibited, a novel type of therapeutic agent for diabetes can be provided, which has not only a high postprandial glucose level suppression action ascribed to SGLTl inhibition but also a progressive hypoglycemic action ascribed to SGLT2 inhibition.

Up to now, a C-phenyl glycoside derivative having a selective inhibitory activity to SGLT2 has been reported (see International Publication WO 2001/027128); however, a C-phenyl glycoside derivative strongly inhibiting both of SGLTl and SGLT2 has not yet been reported. DISCLOSURE OF THE INVENTION

An object of the present invention is to provide a C- phenyl glycitol compound, which is expected as a novel-type pharmaceutical for treating diabetes, capable of inhibiting both of SGLTl and SGLT2 activities, having not only a glucose absorption suppression action from the digestive tract but also a urine glucose excretion action.

The present inventors conducted intensive studies to solve the aforementioned, object. As a result, they found. that a C-phenyl glycitol compound, which is formed by introducing a specific side-chain to an end of an aglycone, has excellent inhibitory actions for SGLTl and SGLT2 activities. Based on the finding, the present invention was accomplished.

The C-phenyl glycitol compound of the present invention (hereinafter, referred to as "the compound of the invention") will be explained below. By virtue of the present invention, a novel C-phenyl glycitol compound capable of inhibiting both SGLTl and SGLT

Test Example 1

(1) Cloning of Human SGLTl and SGLT2 and Introduction thereof into Expression Vector An SGLTl sequence (NM_000343) was reverse-transσripted from human small intestinal mRNA, then amplified, and then introduced into pCMV-tag5A from Stratagene Corporation. An SGLT2 sequence (NM_003041 ) was prepared from human nephric mRNA as with the above method, and then introduced into pcDNA3.1+hygro from Invitrogen Corporation. Each cloned sequence was confirmed to be identical with the reported sequence.

(2) Preparation of CHO-kl Cells Stably Expressing Human SGLTl and Human SGLT2 The human SGLTl and human SGLT2 expression vectors were transfected into CHO-kl cells by using Lipofectamine 2000 from Invitrogen Corporation. The SGLT expression cells were incubated in the presence of Geneticin (SGLTl) or Hygromycin B (SGLT2) at a 500 μg/mL concentration to select resistant strains, and specific activity of sugar uptake was obtained as an indicator by the following system. (3) Inhibition Test of Sodium-dependent Sugar Uptake in Cells

Cells stably expressing human SGLTl and human SGLT2 were used for the inhibition test of sodium-dependent glucose uptake.

The cells were incubated in a pretreatment buffer A (200 μL for SGLTl, and 2 mL for SGLT2 ) for 20 minutes. The pretreatment buffer was removed and an uptake buffer B (75 μL for SGLTl, and 200 μL for SGLT2) containing a test compound was added to conduct an uptake reaction at 37°C for 30 minutes (SGLTl) or an hour (SGLT2). After the reaction, the cells were washed with a washing buffer C twice (200 μL for SGLTl, and 2 mL for SGLT2), and then dissolved in a 0.2 M solution of NaOH (75 μL for SGLTl, and 400 μL for SGLT2). After a liquid scintilater was added thereto and mixed sufficiently, radioactivity was measured with microBETA (SGLTl) or a liquid scintillation counter from Beckman Coulter, Inc (SGLT2). As a control group, an uptake buffer containing no test compound was prepared. In addition, as the basic uptake buffer, an uptake buffer B containing choline chloride instead of NaCl was prepared. ^•A pretreatment buffer A: 140 mM choline chloride, 2 mM KCl,

1 mM CaCl₂, 1 mM MgCl₂, 10 mM HEPES/5 mM Tris , pH 7.4. ^•An uptake buffer B : 1 mM of methyl α-D-gluσopyranoside containing [¹⁴C]methyl α-D-glucopyranoside, 140 mM NaCl,

2 mM KCl, 1 mM CaCl₂, 1 mM MgCl₂, 10 mM HEPES/5 mM Tris, pH 7.4.

^•A washing buffer C: 10 mM methyl α-D-glucopyranoside, 140 mM choline chloride, 2 iriM KCl, 1 inM CaCl₂, 1 mM MgCl₂, 10 mM HEPES/5 mM Tris , pH 7.4.

In order to obtain IC₅₀ values , test compounds having adequate 6 concentrations were used and the test compound concentrations (IC₅₀ values) at which sugar uptake is inhibited by 50% in comparison with the amount of sugar uptake (100%) of the control group were calculated. Test results are shown in Table 6. [Table 6]

In addition, the sugar uptake inhibition rates at 100 nM concentration of the test compound in comparison with the control group are shown in Table 7. [Table 7]

Confirmation Study of Inhibitory Effect on Elevation of Blood Glucose Level in Streptozotocin Diabetic Model Rats (1) Preparation of Diabetic Model Rats

7-week-old SD/IGS rats (from CHARLES RIVER LABORATORIES JAPAN, INC., male) were fasted for about 16 hours. Then to these rats under etherization were administered 50 mg/kg of streptozotocin (STZ) via the tail vein to prepare diabetic model rats. Similarly, to rats under etherization were administered 1 mL/kg physiological saline containing 1.25 mmol/L of citric acid via tail veins to prepare normal control rats. One week (8 weeks old) after administration of STZ or 1.25 mmol/L citric acid physiological saline, the rats were subjected to oral glucose tolerance test. (2) Oral Glucose Tolerance Test

After the rats were fasted for about 16 hours, the medicament (1 mg/kg) suspended in a 0.5% carboxymethyl cellulose (CMC) aqueous solution was orally administered to a medicament treated group, and only a 0.5% aqueous solution of CMC was orally administered to a control group. At 5 minutes after the administration, a glucose solution (2 g/kg) was orally administered to each rat, and blood was collected at 5 points in total: before the administration (0 time), after 0.25, 0.5, 1 and 2 hours after the oral administration .

The blood was collected from the orbital sinus venosus of each rat under etherization with a heparin-coated blood collection tube and centrifuged, and then blood plasma was separated. The concentration of glucose in the blood plasma was determined with Glucose CII Test Wako from Wako Pure Chemical Industries, Ltd. As for the intensity of inhibitory effect on elevation of blood glucose level, area under the blood glucose level curve (AUC) was calculated by the trapezoidal rule based on the blood glucose levels of the medicament treated group from 0 time to 1 hour time. And a basal value is subtracted from AUC to describe the intensity as area under the blood glucose level increment (ΔAUC) and describe the intensity as a decrease rate from the ΔAUC of the control group. The results are shown in Table 8. [Table 8]
