Sphingosine-1-phosphate (referred to simply as S1P, hereinafter), which was previously considered a mere intermediate product in the metabolism of sphingosine, has proven to have an ability to facilitate cell growth and regulate cell motility. Studies have now shown that S1P, a previously unknown lipid mediator, is involved in a wide range of physiological actions, including apoptisis, modification of cell morphology and vascular contraction (Non-Patent Article 1 and Non-Patent Article 2). The lipid acts both as an intracellular second messenger and as an intercellular mediator; its role as an intercellular mediator has been particularly intensively studied. S1P induces signal transduction via a family of cell membrane G-protein-coupled receptors designated as Edg (which stands for Endothelial Differential Gene) (Non-Patent Article 1 and Non-Patent Article 3). Currently known subtypes of S1P receptors are Edg-1, Edg-3, Edg-5, Edg-6 and Edg-8, which are also referred to as S1P 1 , S1P 3 , S1P 2 , S1P 4 and S1P 5 , respectively.
Many studies of these S1P receptors suggest that S1P receptor modulators, which bind to these receptors and act as agonists or antagonists of S1P receptors, are effective against a broad spectrum of diseases. For example, compounds that act on Edg-5 have been shown effective against arteriosclerosis, renal fibrosis, pulmonary fibrosis and hepatic fibrosis (Patent Article 1). Compounds that act on Edg-1, Edg-3 or Edg-5 have been shown to be effective therapeutic or prophylactic agents against various respiratory diseases, including chronic bronchial asthma, diffuse pulmonary hamartoangiomyomatosis, adult respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS), chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD), interstitial pneumonia, idiopathic interstitial pneumonia, lung cancer and hypersensitivity pneumonitis (Patent Article 2). In addition, compounds that act as Edg-1 agonists have been shown to be effective therapeutic or prophylactic agents for peripheral vascular diseases, such as arteriosclerosis obliterans, thromboangiitis obliterans, Buerger's disease and diabetic neuropathy, septicemia, angiitis, nephritis, pneumonia, cerebral infarction, myocardial infarction, edema, arteriosclerosis, varicose veins, such as piles, anal fissure and anal fistula, dissecting arterial aneurysm, stenocardia, DIC, pleuritis, congestive heart failure, multiple organ failure, bed sore, burn, ulcerative colitis, Crohn's disease, heart transplantation, kidney transplantation, skin transplantation, liver transplantation, bone marrow transplantation, osteoporosis, chronic hepatitis, hepatic cirrhosis, chronic renal failure and glomerulosclerosis (Patent Article 3). Furthermore, compounds that act as agonists of S1P receptors have been shown to modulate the migration of leukocytes (Non-Patent Article 4 and Non-Patent Article 5). Moreover, the derivatives mentioned in the aforementioned Non-Patent Articles have been shown effective not only against various organ transplants and GVHD, but also against autoimmune diseases, such as rheumatoid arthritis, lupus nephritis, systemic lupus erythematosus, Hashimoto's disease, multiple sclerosis, myasthenia gravis, type I and type II diabetes and Crohn's disease, allergic diseases, such as atopic dermatitis, allergic rhinitis, allergic conjunctivitis, allergic contact dermatitis, and inflammatory diseases, such as inflammatory bowel disease and ulcerative colitis (Patent Article 4 and Patent Article 5). Phosphoric acid derivatives similar to what are described in Patent Articles 4 and 5 and act as antagonists of S1P receptors are described in Patent Article 6. Other S1P receptor modulators are disclosed in Patent Articles 7, 8, 9 and 10.
In the course of the studies to develop compounds that have an ability to modulate S1P receptors, which are involved in the onset of various disorders, the present inventors have drawn the attention to aminophosphonic acid derivatives having different structures from previously known compounds and have made an effort in searching for novel modulators of S1P receptors. Quite recently, S1P receptor agonists having an amino group along with a phosphonic acid unit were disclosed in Patent Articles 11, 12 and 13. Each of these compounds has a structure in which the amino group is integrated in their linking backbone. This structure differs from the structure of the compounds of the present invention, which essentially has the form of β-aminophosphonic acid or γ-aminophosphonic acid in which an amino group exists on the linking backbone. Patent Article 14 describes similar compounds but the compounds of the present invention are not included.
DISCLOSURE OF THE INVENTION
It is thus an objective of the present invention to provide an aminophosphonic acid derivative that can effectively modulate S1P receptors with less side effects.
The present inventors have conducted extensive studies to find compounds that have an ability to modulate S1P receptors and are highly safe. As a result, the inventors have found that certain aminophosphonic acid derivatives with a diarylsulfide or diarylether group that have a different structure from any of previously known S1P receptor modulators act as potent modulators of S1P receptors. It is this finding that led to the present invention.

Diethyl (Z)- and (E)-5-[4-(3-benzyloxyphenylthio)-2-chlorophenyl]-3-t-butoxycarbonylamino-1-fluoro-1-pentenylphosphonates









The compound of Example 127 was oxidized in the same manner as in Example 193 to obtain an aldehyde for use in the subsequent reaction.
Meanwhile, trimethylchlorosilane (1.0 mL) was added to diethyl dibromofluoromethylphosphate (1.48 mL) in THF (75 mL), and the mixture was cooled to −78° C. Subsequently, 1.6 mol/L n-butyllithium in hexane (11.3 mL) was added dropwise and the mixture was stirred for 40 min. Subsequently, the aldehyde obtained above (3.68 g) in THF (25.0 mL) was added dropwise over 10 min. The mixture was allowed to warm to 0° C. and was stirred for 5 hours. Following addition of aqueous ammonium chloride, the mixture was extracted with ethyl acetate. The ethyl acetate layer was then washed with a saturated aqueous solution of sodium chloride, was dried over anhydrous sodium sulfate, and was concentrated. The resulting residue was purified on a silica gel column chromatography (hexane:ethyl acetate=10:1 to 1:1). As a result, the Z-form was obtained from the first eluate as a yellow oil (1.70 g), and the E-form was obtained from the second eluate as a yellow oil (667 mg).

Example 245 (250 mg) was dissolved in a 10% hydrochloric acid-methanol solution (10 mL) and the mixture was allowed to stand overnight. Subsequently, the solvent was removed by distillation and the residue was dissolved in ethyl acetate, followed by addition of triethylamine to adjust the pH to 7. The crystallized triethylamine hydrochloride was separated by filtration and was washed with ethyl acetate. The solvent was removed by distillation to give a Boc-free product as a colorless oil (250 mg). This product was dissolved in acetonitrile (5 mL) while the solution was chilled in an ice bath. To this solution, trimethylsilyl iodide (26.7 μL) was added and the mixture was stirred for 30 min at the same temperature. Subsequently, the solvent was removed by distillation and the residue was purified on a silica gel column chromatography (reversed phase silica chromatography, water:acetonitrile=9:1 to 6:1 to 3:1 to 1:1 to only acetonitrile) to give the desired product as a colorless powder (97 mg).

Experiment Example 1
Test for the Ability of Test Compounds to Induce Intracellular Ca 2+ Mobilization in Cells Expressing Human S1P (Sphingosine-1-Phosphate) Receptors
CHO cells expressing human S1P receptors (i.e., CHO cells expressing hS1P 1 receptors or hS1P 3 receptors) were subcultured on Ham's F-12 medium supplemented with 10% fetal bovine serum and 200 μg/mL Geneticin. The cells were seeded on a 96-well black clear bottom plate (COSTAR) at 4×10 4 cells/well and were cultured overnight at 37° C. in 5% CO 2 . A fluorescent reagent that emits fluorescence upon binding to Ca 2+ (Calcium Screening Kit (DOJINDO)) was added to the culture and the cells were further cultured for 60 min at 37° C. in 5% CO 2 . After culturing, microplate spectrofluorometer (FLEX station, MOLECULAR DEVICE) was used to measure the fluorescence intensity at an excitation wavelength of 485 nm and a detection wavelength of 525 nm. S1P or a test compound adjusted with cultural medium to a concentration 10 times higher than the final concentration (final DMSO concentration=0.1%). Each test compound solution was added 18 sec. after beginning of the measurement of fluorescence. The fluorescence intensity was measured every 1.5 sec for 100 sec. For each test compound, the difference between the maximum fluorescence intensity and the minimum fluorescence intensity (i.e., increase in fluorescence) was determined from the measurements. The rate of fluorescence increase (%) for each test compound was calculated by the difference (100%) of the fluorescence increase between solvent only and S1P (10 −6 M). Using this value as an index of the ability of the test compound to induce intracellular Ca 2+ mobilization, EC50 was determined by PRISM software (GraphPad). In Table 11, the symbol “−” indicates that the test compound was determined to have an EC50 of 1 μmol/L or higher, the symbol “+” indicates that the test compound had an EC50 of lower than 1 μmol/L and higher than or equal to 0.1 μmol/L, the symbol “++” indicates that the test compound had an EC50 of lower than 0.1 μmol/L and higher than or equal to 0.01 μmol/L, and the symbol “+++” indicates that the test compound had an EC50 of lower than 0.01 μmol/L.

Experiment Example 2
Test for the Ability of Test Compounds to Induce Activation of Extracellular Regulatory Kinase (Erk) in Cells Expressing Human S1P Receptors
CHO cells expressing human S1P receptors (i.e., CHO cells expressing hS1P 4 receptors) were subcultured on Ham's F-12 medium supplemented with 10% fetal bovine serum and 200 μg/mL Geneticin. The cells were seeded on a 6-well cell culture plate (COSTAR) at 3×10 5 cells/well and were cultured overnight at 37° C. in 5% CO 2 . On the following day, the medium was replaced with FBS-free Ham's F-12 medium (containing 0.1% fatty acid-free bovine serum albumin) and the cells were cultured overnight at 37° C. in 5% CO 2 . S1P or a test compound adjusted with Ham's F-12 medium (with 0.1% fatty acid-free bovine serum albumin) to a concentration 10 times higher than the final concentration (final DMSO concentration=0.1%). Each test compound solution was added to this culture plate. The cells were cultured for 5 min at 37° C. in 5% CO 2 . The medium was removed and the cells were washed with a 200 μmol/L ice-cold PBS containing Na 3 VO 4 . A lysis buffer (20 mmol/L Tris-HCl pH7.5, 1% Triton X-100, 1 mmol/L EDTA, 1 mmol/L EGTA, 0.5 mmol/L Na 3 VO 4 , 0.1% β-mercaptoethanol, 50 mmol/L NaF, 5 mmol/L Na 4 O 7 P 3 , 10 mmol/L C 3 H 7 O 6 Na, 1 μmol/L Microcystin LR, 1× Complete Protease Inhibitor Cocktail (ROCHE)) was then added to the cells and the reaction was carried out on ice for 5 min to lyse the cells. The cell lysate was subjected to sodium dodecyl sulfate-polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis (SDS-PAGE) to separate proteins. The proteins were transferred to a PVDF membrane (Hybond-P, Amersham Biosciences). The membrane was reacted overnight at 4° C. with anti-phospho ERK (p42/44 MAPK) monoclonal antibody (E10, Cell Signaling Technologies) diluted 1000-fold, and was subsequently reacted for 1 hour at room temperature with alkaline phosphatase-labeled anti-mouse IgG antibody (Molecular Probe) diluted 6000-fold. After washing with 20 mmol/L Tris-HCl and 150 mmol/L NaCl solution, the PVDF membrane was fluorostained with DDAO phosphate (DyeChrome Western Blot Stain Kit, Molecular Probe), a fluorescent substrate of alkaline phosphatase. The fluorescence was detected using a variable image analyzer (Typhoon 8600, Amersham Biosciences). The detected signal of phosphorylated ERK was quantified using ImageQuant software (Molecular Dynamics). The rate of ERK activation (%) for each test compound was calculated by the difference (100%) of the signal intensity between solvent only and S1P (10 −6 mol/L). The results are shown in Table 12 below.

Experiment Example 3
Inhibitory Effects of Test Compounds on Host Vs. Graft Rejection in Mice
This experiment was performed according to the method described in Transplantation 55(3) (1993): 578-591. Spleens were collected from 6 to 16 week old male BALB/c mice (CHARLES RIVER JAPAN). The spleens were placed in an RPMI-1640 medium (SIGMA) and were gently pressed between two slide glasses and then passed through a cell strainer (70 μm, Falcon) to form a cell suspension. The suspension was then centrifuged and the supernatant was discarded. An ammonium chloride-Tris isotonic buffer was added to the suspension to lyse erythrocytes. The cells were then centrifuged three times in RPMI-1640 medium for washing and were resuspended in an RPMI-1640 medium. To this suspension, mitomycin C (KYOWA HAKKO KOGYO Co., Ltd.) was added to a final concentration of 25 μg/mL and the suspension was incubated for 30 minutes at 37° C. in a 5% CO 2 atmosphere. The cells were centrifuged three times in RPMI-1640 medium for washing and were resuspended in an RPMI-1640 medium so that the medium would contain 2.5×10 8 cells/mL. This suspension served as a “stimulation cell suspension.” Using a 27 G needle with a microsyringe (Hamilton), 20 μL (5×10 6 cells/mouse) of the stimulation cell suspension was subcutaneously injected into the right hind footpad of 6 to 8 week old male C3H/HeN mice (CLEA JAPAN). Normal control group was injected with RPMI-1640 medium alone. 4 days after the injection, right popliteal lymph nodes were collected and were weighed on a Mettler AT201 electronic scale (METTLER TOLEDO Co., Ltd.). Each animal was intraperitoneally administered a test compound once a day for four consecutive days starting on the day of the injection of the stimulation cells (i.e., total of 4 times). Control groups were administered the same vehicle as that used in the preparation of each test compound. The results are shown in Table 13 below. The inhibition (%) was determined using the following formula
{[Weight of right popliteal lymph nodes of positive control group]−[Weight of right popliteal lymph nodes of test compound group]×100}/{[Weight of right popliteal lymph nodes of positive control group]−[Weight of right popliteal lymph nodes of normal control group]} Formula 1
