Description
TECHNICAL FIELD

[0001] The present invention relates to a novel, orally-administrable sulfonyl derivative or salt thereof which inhibits an activated coagulation factor (which will hereinafter be abbreviated as “FXa”), thereby exhibiting strong anticoagulant action; and a coagulation suppressor or preventive and/or remedy for thrombosis or embolism which comprises the derivative or salt as an effective ingredient.

BACKGROUND ART

[0002] Exasperation of coagulation capacity is an important factor for unstable angina, cerebral infarction, cerebral embolism, myocardial infarction, pulmonary infarction, pulmonary embolism, Buerger's disease, deep vein thrombosis, disseminated intravascular coagulation syndrome, thrombus formation after valve replacement, reocclusion after revascularization or formation of thrombus upon extracorporeal circulation. There is accordingly a demand for an excellent anticoagulant which is excellent in dose-responsiveness, has long-lasting effects, has a low risk of hemorrhage, has less side effects and exhibits rapid and sufficient effects even by oral administration (Thrombosis Research, 68, 507-512, 1992).

[0003] Studies on anticoagulants based on various acting mechanisms suggest that a FXa inhibitor has a possibility of becoming an excellent anticoagulant. The coagulation system is a series of reactions wherein a large amount of a thrombus is produced through an amplification step due to a multi-stage enzymatic reaction and induces the formation of insoluble fibrin. In the intrinsic system, after the multi-stage reaction following the activation of a contact factor, activated Factor IX activates factor X on a phospholipid membrane in the presence of activated Factor VIII and a calcium ion, while in the extrinsic system, activated Factor VII activates Factor X in the presence of a tissue factor. In other words, the activation of Factor X into FXa in the coagulation system is an essential reaction in the formation of thrombin. Activated Factor X (FXa) in each system carries out limited proteolysis of prothrombin, thereby forming thrombin. The resulting thrombin activates the coagulation factors on the upstream side, whereby the formation of thrombin is amplified further. As described above, the coagulation system upstream of FXa is separated into intrinsic and extrinsic systems so that the inhibition of the enzyme of the coagulation system upstream of FXa does not suppress the production of FXa sufficiently, inevitably resulting in the production of thrombin. Furthermore, the coagulation occurs as a self-amplifying reaction so that the suppression of the coagulation system can be accomplished more efficiently by the inhibition of FXa which exists upstream of the thrombin than by the inhibition of the thrombin formed (Thrombosis Research, 15, 617-629(1979)).

[0004] Another merit of the FXa inhibitor is that an effective dose in a thrombus model is largely different from the dose for extending the bleeding time in an experimental hemorrhage model. From the experimental result, the FXa inhibitor is presumed to be an anticoagulant with a low risk of hemorrhage.

[0005] As a FXa inhibitor, various compounds are reported. In general, antithrombin III or antithrombin III-dependent penta-saccharide is known to have no inhibitory action against a prothrombinase complex which plays a practical role in the thrombus formation in vivo (Thrombosis Research, 68, 507-512(1992); Journal of Clinical Investigation, 71, 1383-1389(1983); Mebio, August issue, 92-97) and moreover, it does not exhibit effectiveness in oral administration. Although tick anticoagulant peptide (TAP) (Science, 248, 593-596(1990)) or antistacin (AST) (Journal of Biological Chemistry, 263, 10162-10167(1988)) isolated from a tick or leech which is a bloodsucker inhibits FXa and exhibits anti-thrombus effects on the models of from venous thrombus to arterial thrombus, it is not effective when orally administered because it is a high-molecular peptide. From such a viewpoint, a low-molecular FXa inhibitor which directly inhibits a coagulation factor without depending on antithrombin III has been developed.

[0006] An object of the present invention is to provide, as an excellent anticoagulant, a novel compound which has strong FXa inhibitory action, exhibits prompt, sufficient and long-lasting anti-thrombus effects even by the oral administration and has less side effects.

DISCLOSURE OF THE INVENTION

[0007] With the forgoing in view, the present inventors have carried out an extensive investigation on the synthesis of a novel FXa inhibitor and its pharmacological action. As a result, it has been found that a novel sulfonyl derivative, salt thereof or solvate thereof exhibits strong FXa inhibitory action and strong anticoagulant action, inhibits FXa strongly, promptly and continuously by the oral administration, exhibits anti-coagulant action and anti-thrombus action, is highly safe and is useful as a preventive or remedy for various diseases caused by a thrombus or embolus, thus leading to completion of the present invention.

[0558] The process for the preparation of the sulfonyl derivative of the present invention will next be described.

[0559] The sulfonyl derivative, salt thereof and solvate thereof according to the present invention can be prepared by using general, conventionally-known chemical processes in combination. Typical synthesis processes will be described subsequently.

[0560] Upon synthesis of the sulfonyl derivative of the present invention, when it is necessary to protect a substituent such as nitrogen atom, hydroxyl group or carboxyl group, it may be protected with a ordinary, conventionally-known protecting group which can be removed as needed. Such a protecting group can be removed at need by the synthesis process ordinarily employed in the organic chemistry which will be described below. The starting materials necessary for the synthesis can be obtained by the synthesis process ordinarily employed in the organic chemistry and such a process will be described in Referential Examples. The starting materials can also be synthesized by the application of the process described in Referential Examples.

[0561] A description will next be made of a protecting group for the substituent such as nitrogen atom, hydroxyl group or carboxyl group and deprotection process thereof.

[0562] As a protecting group for the nitrogen atom in an amino or alkylamino group, ordinary acyl-type protecting groups are suited. Examples include alkanoyl groups such as acetyl, alkoxycarbonyl groups such as methoxycarbonyl, ethoxycarbonyl and tertiary butoxy carbonyl, arylmethoxycarbonyl groups such as benzyloxycarbonyl, paramethoxybenzyloxycarbonyl and para- (ortho-)nitrobenzyloxycarbonyl groups, aryolmethyl groups such as benzyl and triphenylmethyl and aroyl groups such as benzoyl. The removing process of such a protecting group differs with the chemical properties of the protecting group adopted. For example, the acyl-type protecting group such as alkanoyl, alkoxycarbonyl or aroyl can be removed by hydrolysis using an appropriate base such as alkali metal hydroxide, for example, lithium hydroxide, sodium hydroxide or potassium hydroxide.

[0563] The substituted methoxycarbonyl type protecting group such as tertiary butoxycarbonyl or paramethoxybenzyloxycarbonyl can be removed by using an appropriate acid, for example, acetic acid, hydrochloric acid, hydrobromic acid, sulfuric acid, phosphoric acid, trifluoroacetic acid or trifluoromethanesulfonic acid or combination thereof. The arylmethoxycarbonyl group such as benzyloxycarbonyl, paramethoxybenzyloxycarbonyl or para- (ortho-)nitrobenzyloxycarbonyl, or the arylmethyl group such as benzyl can be removed by hydrogenolysis in the presence of a palladium-carbon catalyst. The benzyl group can also be removed by Birch reduction, in liquid ammonia, in the presence of a metal sodium, whereby conversion into a nitrogen-hydrogen bond can be effected. The triphenylmethyl group can be removed by using an appropriate acid such as acetic acid, hydrochloric acid, hydrobromic acid, sulfuric acid, phosphoric acid, trifluoroacetic acid or trifluoromethanesulfonic acid or combination thereof. It can also be removed by Birch reduction, in liquid ammonia, in the presence of a metal sodium or by hydrogenolysis in the presence of a palladium-carbon catalyst.

[0564] In addition to the above-described amino-protecting group, a phthaloyl type protecting group can be adopted for a primary amino group and it can be removed using hydrazine, dimethylaminopropylamine or the like.

[0565] As the protecting group suited for a hydroxyl group, there are acyl type and ether type ones. Examples of the acyl type protecting group include alkanoyl groups such as acetyl and aroyl groups such as benzoyl, while those of the ether type protecting group include arylmethyl groups such as benzyl, silyl ether groups such as tertiary butyl dimethylsilyl, methoxymethyl and tetrahydropyranyl. The removal of such a protecting group differs with the chemical properties of the protecting group adopted. For example, the acyl group such as alkanoyl or aroyl can be removed by the hydrolysis using an appropriate base such as an alkali metal hydroxide, for example, lithium hydroxide, sodium hydroxide or potassium hydroxide. The arylmethyl type protecting group can be removed by the hydrogenolysis using a palladium-carbon catalyst. The silyl group such as tertiary butyl dimethylsilyl can be removed using a hydrofluoride salt such as tetrabutyl ammonium fluoride. The methoxymethyl or tetrahydropyranyl group can be removed using acetic acid, hydrochloric acid or the like. The hydroxyl group substituted for an aryl group can be protected with a methyl group and deprotection can be carried out using a Lewis acid such as aluminum chloride or phosphorus tribromide, trimethylsilyl iodide or hydrogen bromide.

[0566] A carboxyl group can be protected by the esterification of it. A methyl or ethyl ester can be deprotected by the hydrolysis using an appropriate base such as alkali metal hydroxide, e.g., lithium hydroxide, sodium hydroxide or potassium hydroxide, while from a tertiary butyl ester, the tertiary butyl group can be removed by treating with trifluoroacetic acid or hydrochloric acid. From an arylmethyl type ester such as benzyl, the arylmethyl group can be removed by the hydrogenolysis in the presence of a palladium-carbon catalyst.

The resulting hydroxyl or aldehyde group can be subjected to conversion of a functional group, such as ether bond formation, conversion into an amino group or conversion into an alkylamino group by the process ordinarily employed in organic chemistry. The carboxyl group, after conversion into its ester or mixed acid anhydride directly or by the usual process, is reduced, whereby the corresponding alcohol can be obtained.

[0812] Formation of Phenol

[0813] When in the sulfonyl derivative of the formula (I), an aryl-substituted methoxy group exists on R1, Q1, Q2, Q3 or T1 or a substituent replaceable therewith, it can be converted into a hydroxyl group by removing the methyl group using trimethylsilyl iodide in an alkyl halide solvent such as dichloromethane, chloroform or carbon tetrachloride or a benzene solvent such as toluene, a Lewis acid such as aluminum chloride or phosphorus tribromide, an alkyl halide solvent or an ether solvent at 31 78 to 110° C.

[0814] The sulfonyl derivative of the formula (I) according to the present invention, salt thereof or solvate thereof has peculiar and excellent FXa inhibitory activity and is therefore useful as a coagulation suppressor or a preventive and/or remedy for thrombosis or embolism.

[0815] The sulfonyl derivative of the present invention exhibits effects even by the oral administration so that it can be administered either orally or parenterally. The dose of the sulfonyl derivative may be changed as needed depending on the symptom, age, weight and/or the like of a patient. It is necessary to administer the derivative in an amount of 1 to 1000 mg/day, preferably 5 to 300 mg/day per adult. Although no particular limitation is imposed on the dosage form, examples include tablets, capsules, powders, granules, suspensions, syrups and dry syrups. The derivative together with ordinarily employed additives such as excipient, lubricant or binder can be formulated into the above-described dosage forms in accordance with the known formulation technique.

[0816] No particular limitation is imposed on the dosage form in the case of parenteral administration but examples include ointments, plasters, injections and suppositories. As an injection, the derivative may be administered subcutaneously or intravenously or by intravenous drip in an amount of 0.1 to 100 mg/day, preferably 0.5 to 30 mg/day per adult.

[0817] The present invention will hereinafter be described more specifically by Referential Examples, Examples and Tests, but it should however be borne in mind that the present invention is not limited to or by them.

[1869] [Test 7] Testing Method of Anti-thrombus Effects in a Tissue Thromboplastin-derived Rat DIC Model

[1870] A rat was anesthetized with halothane. After the collection of the blood (for measurement of the number of platelets, anti-FXa activity and TAT) from its cervical vein by using {fraction (1/10)} part by weight of 3.13% (w/v) sodium citrate, the sample was administered orally. At an appropriate time after the administration, the rat was intraperitoneally anesthetized (1 mg/kg) with Nembutal (50 mg/ml pentobarbital sodium, Abott Laboratories), followed by intravenous drip of 0.2 U/ml of tissue thromboplastin (Thromboplastin C plus, Dade Diagnostics of P. R. Inc.,) from the femoral vein for one minute at a rate of 2.5 to 3.0 ml/kg/min. The blood was collected (for measuring the number of platelets and anti-FXa activity) from the cervical vein 10 minutes after the intravenous drip and the blood was collected (for measuring TAT) from the cervical vein 20 minutes after the blood collection. The number of platelets, anti-FXa activity in the plasma and TAT concentration of each blood sample were measured. The number of the platelets was measured by an automatic cytometer, while the anti-FXa activity in the plasma was measured in a similar manner to that described in Test 7.

[1871] For the measurement of TAT (Thrombin-anti Thrombin=complex), EnzygnostR TAT micro kit (Boering Verke) was employed.

[1872] As a result of the oral administration of 30 mg/kg of the compound of Example 95, apparent anti-FXa action in the plasma was recognized and a decrease in the number of the platelets and an increase in the TAT concentration were suppressed (the tissue thromboplastin was administered one hour after the administration of the sample).

[1873] Capability of Exploitation in Industry

[1874] The sulfonyl derivative according to the present invention exhibits anticoagulant action based on excellent FXa inhibitory action so that without acting on a platelet, it can treat or prevent various diseases caused by a thrombus or embolus such as cerebral infarction, cerebral embolism, myocardial infarction, pulmonary infarction, pulmonary embolism, Buerger's disease, deep vein thrombosis, disseminated intravascular coagulation syndrome, thrombus formation after valve replacement, reocclusion after revascularization, formation of a thrombus upon extracorporeal circulation or coagulation upon blood collection.
