7.Description:
(en)TECHNICAL FIELD
The present invention relates to a novel compound having a structure of 3-heteroarylpyrimidin-4-(3H)-one which has both angiotensin II antagonistic activity and PPARγ activation activity, and a pharmaceutical preparation containing the same.
BACKGROUND ART
In recent years, disorders like diabetes, hypertension, dyslipidemia and obesity which can be a risk factor for arteriosclerotic disorders have been rapidly increasing due to changes in life style with improvements in living standard, i.e., high calorie and high cholesterol type diet, obesity, lack of exercise, aging, and the like. It is known that, although being a risk factor independent of each other, overlap of the disorders can cause an occurrence of arteriosclerotic disorders at higher frequency or aggravation of the disorders. As such, with the understanding of a condition having a plurality of risk factors for arteriosclerotic disorders as metabolic syndrome, efforts have been made to elucidate the cause of the syndrome and to develop a therapeutic method therefor.
Angiotensin II (herein below, it may be also abbreviated as AII) is a peptide that is found to be an intrinsic pressor substance produced by renin-angiotensin system (i.e., RA system). It is believed that pharmacological inhibition of angiotensin II activity can lead to treatment or prevention of circulatory disorders like hypertension. Accordingly, an inhibitor for angiotensin converting enzyme (ACE) which inhibits the enzyme promoting the conversion of angiotensin I (AI) to angiotensin II (AII) has been clinically used as an inhibitory agent for RA system. Furthermore, an orally administrable AII receptor blocker (Angiotensin Receptor Blocker: ARB) has been developed, and losartan, candesartan, telmisartan, valsartan, olmesartan, and irbesartan are already clinically used as a hypotensive agent. It is reported by many clinical or basic studies that, as having not only a hypotensive activity but also other various activities including an anti-inflammatory activity, an endothelial function improving activity, a cardiovascular remodeling inhibiting activity, an oxidation stress inhibiting activity, a proliferation factor inhibiting activity, and insulin resistance improving activity, ARB is useful for cardiovascular disorders, renal diseases, and arteriosclerosis, etc. (Non-Patent Document 1 and 2). Most recently, it is also reported that ARB particularly has a kidney protecting activity which does not depend on a hypotensive activity (Non-Patent Document 3).
Meanwhile, three isoforms, i.e., α, γ, and β, are identified so far as peroxisome proliferaor-activated receptors (PPARs) which belong to a nuclear receptor superfamily. Among them, PPARγ is an isoform that is most abundantly expressed in an adipose tissue and it plays an important role in differentiation of adipocytes or metabolism of glycolipids. Currently, thiazolidinedione derivatives (i.e., TZD) like pioglitazone or rosiglitazone are clinically used as a therapeutic agent for diabetes having PPARγ activation activity, and they are known to have an activity of improving insulin resistance, glucose tolerance, and lipid metabolism, etc. Further, it is recently reported that, based on activation of PPARγ, TZD exhibits various activities including a hypotensive activity, an anti-inflammatory activity, an endothelial function improving activity, a proliferation factor inhibiting activity, and an activity of interfering RA system, etc. It is also reported that, according to such multiple activities, TZD shows a kidney protecting activity particularly in diabetic nephropathy without depending on blood sugar control (Non-Patent Document 4, 5, 6, 7, and 8). Meanwhile, there is also a concern regarding adverse effects of TZD caused by PPARγ activation like body fluid accumulation, body weight gain, peripheral edema, and pulmonary edema (Non-Patent Document 9 and 10).
It has been recently reported that telmisartan has a PPARγ activation activity (Non-Patent Document 11). It has been also reported that the irbesartan has the same activity (Non-Patent Document 12). These compounds have both a RA system inhibiting activity and a PPARγ activation activity, and thus are expected to be used as an integrated agent for prevention and/or treatment of circulatory disorders (e.g., hypertension, heart disease, angina pectoris, cerebrovascular disorders, cerebral circulatory disorders, ischemic peripheral circulatory disorders, and renal diseases, etc.) or diabetes-related disorders (e.g., type 2 diabetes, diabetic complications, insulin resistant syndrome, metabolic syndrome, and hyperinsulinemia, etc.) without increasing a risk of body fluid accumulation, body weight gain, peripheral edema, pulmonary edema, or congestive heart failure that are concerned over the use of TZD (Patent Document 1). Among them, for diabetic nephropathy, a synergistic prophylactic and/or therapeutic effect is expected from multiple kidney protecting activity based on activities of RA system inhibition and PPARγactivation.
As a compound having the activities above, the pyrimidine and triazine derivatives (Patent Document 1), imidazopyridine derivatives (Patent Document 2), indole derivatives (Patent Document 3), and imidazole derivatives (Patent Document 4) have been reported. Of these, a group of compounds that are characterized by having an oxadiazolidinone ring or a thiadiazolidinone ring on biphenyl ring is described in Patent Document 1, and a compound having the pyrimidinone skeleton like the following formula (A) is disclosed (see, Example 219 of Patent Document 1):









However, according to the group of compounds described in Patent Document 1, no tetrazolyl group is present on the biphenyl ring.
The compounds represented by the following formula (B) which have angiotensin II antagonistic activity and are useful for treatment of hypertension, heart failure, intraocular hypertension, etc. have been reported (Patent Document 5):









[in the formula, R represents C 1-4 alkyl, represents a hydrogen, C 1-4 alkyl, aryl, or aryl alkyl (herein, aryl represents phenyl, naphthyl, 2-thienyl, or 2-furanyl) and the like, R 2 represents C 1-4 alkyl and the like, R 3 represents a hydrogen and the like, X represents CO and the like, and Z represents carboxyl or tetrazolyl and the like]. However, in the document, a compound in which a heteroaryl group like thienyl group or furanyl group is directly bonded to R 1 is not specifically described. Further, with respect to pharmacological activity, there is no description or suggestion regarding the PPARγ activation activity or treatment of diabetes, obesity, or a metabolic syndrome.
The compounds represented by, the following formula (C) which have angiotensin II antagonistic activity and are useful for treatment of hypertension and heart failure have been reported (Patent Document 6):









[in the formula, R 1 represents a C 1-6 alkyl group and the like, R 2 represents a hydrogen atom, a halogen atom, a C 1-6 alkyl group and the like, R 13 represents —(CH 2 )n-heterocyclic group (herein, n represents an integer of from 0 to 5) and the like, and R 4 represents the above formula C′ and the like]. However, even in this document, a compound in which a heteroaryl group is directly bonded to R 13 is not specifically described. Further, with respect to pharmacological activity, there is no description or suggestion regarding the PPARγ activation or treatment of diabetes, obesity, or a metabolic syndrome.

Test example 1
Angiotensin II Antagonistic Activity in Isolated Rabbit Blood Vessels
By using a specimen of isolated rabbit blood vessels, antagonistic activity of the compounds of the invention against angiotensin II type 1 receptor was estimated from a dose-response curve of angiotensin II-induced blood vessel contraction.
Specifically, the specimen of thoracic aorta ring of a rabbit (New Zealand White: male, 2.4 to 3.0 kg) was suspended in a magnus bath filled with Krebs-Henseleite buffer (composition: 118 mM NaCl, 4.7 mM KCl, 2.55 mM CaCl 2 , 1.18 mM MgSO 4 , 1.18 mM KH 2 PO 4 , 24.88 mM NaHCO 3 , and 11.1 mM D-glucose), and angiotensin II (10 nM)-induced contraction was obtained in the presence of the compounds of each example (1 nmol to 10 μmol/L). During the measurement, the inside temperature of the magnus bath was maintained at 37° C. and the bath was continuously ventilated with a sufficient amount of mixed gas (95% O 2 and 5% CO 2 ). The angiotensin II-induced contraction was converted into a relative value (%) that is based on the angiotensin II (10 nM)-induced contraction in the absence of the compounds of each example. From the concentration-response curve obtained therefrom, 50% inhibition concentration (IC 50 value) was calculated by using SAS Preclinical Package Ver5.0 (trade name, manufactured by SAS institute Japan Co., Tokyo, Japan), which is a statistical analysis program.
As a result, it was found that the compound described in each example has an angiotensin II inhibition activity at 10 μM concentration. Some compounds are described with their activity value in Table 1. As shown in Table 1, it was confirmed that the compounds of the invention have a potent angiotensin II antagonistic activity. In particular, the compounds of Example 1, 17, 18, 20, 27, 29, 38 to 43, 46 to 48, 51 to 53, 56, 57, and 60 have IC 50 value of less than 0.01 μM, indicating stronger angiotensin II antagonistic activity than telmisartan. Under the same condition, the angiotensin II antagonistic activity of telmisartan i.e., IC 50 , was 0.025 μM.

Test example 2
PPARγ Activation Activity
The agonistic activity of the compounds of the invention on PPARγ was measured based on the transfection assay using COS7 cells (DS Pharma Biomedical Co., Ltd., Osaka, Japan), which are the cell line derived from the kidney of the African green monkey. COS7 cells were cultured under 5% CO 2 concentration, and DMEM medium containing 10% fetal bovine serum, glutamic acid, and antibiotics was used as a medium.
As an expression vector, a chimera in which DNA binding domain of Gal4, which is a yeast transcription factor, and ligand binding domain of human PPAR y2 are fused, i.e., a fused product between the amino acids 1 to 147 of Gal4 transcription factor and the amino acids 182 to 505 of human PPARγ2, was used. Furthermore, as a reporter vector, a firefly luciferase containing five copies of Gal4 recognition sequence in the promoter region was used. Plasmid transfection to the cells was performed according to a method which uses jetPEI (trade name, manufactured by Funakoshi Co., Ltd., Tokyo, Japan). Furthermore, β-galactosidase expression vector was employed as an internal standard.
After the transfection of the cells, the medium was replaced with a DMEM medium (containing 1% serum) added with the compound, and the cells were further cultured for 16 hours. After that, the luciferase activity and β-galactosidase activity in the cell lysis solution were measured.
For the present test, dimethyl sulfoxide (DMSO) was used for dissolution and dilution of the test compounds, and during the cell treatment, the DMSO concentration in DMEM medium (containing 1% serum) was adjusted to 0.1%. As a positive compound, rosiglitazone (trade name, manufactured by ALEXIS Corporation, Switzerland) was used. The luciferase activity (%) of the test compounds (1 to 30 μmol/L) was calculated when the luciferase activity of rosiglitazone (3 to 10 μmol/L) is 100% and the luciferase activity in the absence of the test compound is 0%. The 50% effective concentration of the test compound (EC 50 , 50% effect concentration) was calculated by using SAS Preclinical Package Ver5.0 (trade name, manufactured by SAS institute Japan Co., Tokyo, Japan), which is a statistical analysis program.
As a result, it was found that the each compound described in Example has a PPARγ activation activity at 30 μM concentration. Results obtained from some compounds are described in Table 2. As shown in Table 2, it was confirmed that the compounds of the invention have a potent PPARγ activation activity. In particular, the compounds of Example 4, 6 to 8, 11, 13, 16, 19, 21 to 24, 28, 47, 49, 52, 58, 59, and 66 to 70 have EC 50 value of less than 3 μM, indicating the PPARγ activation activity that is equivalent to telmisartan. Example 8, 13, 22 to 24, 47, 49, 52, 66, 67, and 70 have EC 50 value of less than 1 μM, indicating stronger PPARγ activation activity than telmisartan. Maximum activity strength of some compounds relative to the maximum activity of rosiglitazone is given in Table 3. As shown in Table 3, it was confirmed that the compounds of the invention have an activity that is 20 to 56% of the maximum activity of rosiglitazone and they have an agonist activity on PPARγ. In particular, the maximum activity of the compounds of Example 7, 11, 66 and 70 was the same or greater than that of telmisartan. Under the same condition, the PPARγ activation activity of telmisartan, i.e., EC 50 , was 1 to 5 μM, and the maximum activity strength relative to the maximum activity of rosiglitazone (i.e., % MAX vs rosiglitazone) was 30 to 50%.
