TECHNICAL FIELD

[0001] The present invention relates to fused thiophene derivatives and inhibitors of producing Interleukin-6 (abbreviated as IL-6 hereafter) and/or Interleukin-12 (abbreviated as IL-12 hereafter) containing fused thiophene derivatives as an active ingredient.

[0002] More particularly, the present invention relates to inhibitors of producing IL-6 and/or IL-12 comprising, as an active ingredient, fused thiophene derivatives of the formula (I) 2

[0003] (wherein all the symbols are as defined hereafter.) and non-toxic salts thereof, novel fused thiophene derivatives of the said formula (IA) or non-toxic salts thereof and methods for preparation thereof.

[0004] Moreover, the present invention relates to a method for preparation of a compound of the formula (XI) which is an intermediate for the compounds of the formula (I).

BACKGROUND

[0005] Cytokine is a multifunctional factor which plays an important role in the host defence system of living body and it relates to various life phenomena. However, there are many diseases which may be caused by overproduction thereof or by overresponse thereto.

[0006] IL-6 is a cytokine produced from various cells, e.g. T cells, B cells, macrophages, kidney mesangial cells, fibroblasts etc., and its various physiological effects are known e.g. induction of B cell differentiation to antibody-producing cells, activation of T cells, increase of platelets, and production of acute phase protein from liver cells etc. But, an abnormal production of IL-6 has been observed in various inflammations, autoimmune diseases and neoplastic diseases and it is suggested that IL-6 plays a certain role in the causes of such pathophysiological situations. In the experiment using an animal model in which IL-6 was forcibly expressed, various types of diseases could be observed and such results strongly suggest the existence of relationship between the abnormal production of IL-6 and the cause of certain diseases (Biochem. J., 265, 621 (1990), Immunol. Today, 11, 443 (1990), J. Autoimmun., 5 Suppl A, 123 (1992), Clin. Immunol. Immunopathol., 62, S60 (1992)).

[0007] IL-12 is a cytokine produced from macrophages and dendritic cells etc. and its effects are known; e.g. activation of natural killer (abbreviated as NK hereafter) cells, induction of Interferon-&ggr; (abbreviated as IFN-&ggr; hereafter) production from NK cells and T cells, and regulation of Th1 and Th2 balance etc. Helper T cells are classified into Th1 which stimulates cellular-mediated immunity and Th2 which assists humoral immunity. IL-12 functions to induce Th1 from helper T cell precursors. It is thought that succeedingly, IL-12 induces production of IFN-&ggr; from Th1 cells (which are further differentiated) and accelerates killer activity, so that IL-12 plays a role as a main cytokine causing inflammatory immune reaction which leads to organ disorders (Blood, 84, 4008 (1994)).

[0008] Therefore, inhibition of IL-6 and/or IL-12 production(s) is expected to improve various kinds of diseases such as inflammatory diseases as a representative The present invention is targeted for these cytokines and provides novel medicines through inhibiting the production thereof.

[0009] Clinical application of the compounds of the present invention involves those diseases which may be caused and be changed to worse by abnormal production of IL-6 and/or IL-12 or by overresponse to them. Inhibitors of producing IL-6 may be used for the prevention and/or treatment of various inflammatory diseases, sepsis, multiple myeloma, plasma cell leukemia, osteoporosis, cachexia, psoriasis, nephritis, renal cell carcinoma, Kaposi's sarcoma, rheumatoid arthritis, gammopathy, Castleman's disease, atrial myxoma, diabetes mellitus, autoimmune diseases (J. Immunol., 145, 4185 (1990), J. Exp. Med., 172: 1505 (1990), J. Clin. Invest., 87,739 (1991), J. Clin. Invest., 89 1681 (1992), EMBO J., 1, 1189 (1994), Hematol. Oncol. Clin. North Am., 11 159 (1997)). Inhibitors of producing IL-12 may be used for the prevention and/or treatment of various inflammatory diseases, diabetes mellitus, hepatitis, multiple sclerosis, colitis, graft versus host immune diseases, rheumatoid arthritis, infectious diseases, autoimmune diseases (J. Exp. Med., 181, 817 (1995), J. Exp. Med., 181, 381 (1995), J. Exp. Med., 182 128, (1995), Ann, NY Acad. Sci., 795, 371 (1996), Int. Immunol., 8, 569 (1996), Proc. Natl. Acad. Sci.

[0813] 1.5×104 of A549 cells (human lung epithelial cell line) were suspended in dalbeco-modified eagle medium (DMEM) containing 0.5% fetus bovine serum (abbreviated as FBS) (100 &mgr;l) and incubated in 96 well-microplate over day and night. The test compound dissolved in various kinds of solvents at various concentrations (20 &mgr;l) and Tumor Necrosis Factor-&agr; (TNF-&agr; (Genzyme Co, Cat. No. TNF-H)) dissolved in DMEM at the concentration of 12.5 ng/ml (80 &mgr;l) were added thereto. After incubation for 24 hours, the supernatant (200 &mgr;l) was recovered to assay the quantity of IL-6 using Enzyme Linked Immuno Solvent Assay (ELISA) Method (R&D Systems Co., Cat. No. D6050), to calculate inhibitory activity of the test compound and determine 50 % inhibitory concentration (IC50). To the cells from which the supernatant was removed, a solution of brom 3-(4,5-dimethyl-2-thiazolyl)-2,5-diphenyl-2H-tetrazolinium (abbreviated as MTT (Dojin Chemical Laboratory, Cat. No. 345-01821)) dissolved in DMEM containing 1 0% FBS at the concentration of 0.5mg/ml (100 &mgr;l) was added and incubated for 3 hours. After removing MTT solution, methanol (100 &mgr;l) was added thereto. After lyse the cells, the intensity of absorbance on 570 nm as a control of 690 nm was determined to assay cellular toxicity of the test compound. As a result, it has been proved that the compounds of the present invention possess an inhibitory activity on IL-6 production with an IC50 value of 20 &mgr;M or less. For example, free compound of the compound of

No. 3120-25-0)) (10 &mgr;l) was added thereto. After incubation for 20 hours, the supernatant (150 &mgr;l) was recovered to assay the quantity of IL-12 using ELISA Method (R&D Systems Co, Cat. No. D1200), calculate for inhibitory activity of the test compound and determine 50% inhibitory concentration (IC50) (see J. Exp. Med., 183, 147 (1996)). To the cells from which the supernatant (150 &mgr;l) was removed, a solution of MTT dissolved in RPMI1640 medium containing 10% FBS at 1 mg/ml (50 &mgr;l) was added and incubated for 3 hours. 2-Propanol containing 0.04N HCl (100 &mgr;l) was added thereto. After lyse the cells, the intensity of absorbance on 570 nm as a control of 690 nm was determined to assay cellular toxicity of the test compound. As a results, it has been proved that the compounds of the present invention possess an inhibitory activity on IL-12 production with an IC50 value of 10 &mgr;M or less.

[1634] To 4-carboxy-1,1-dioxidebenzo[b]thiophene (prepared by the method described in Example 107 hereafter) (270 mg), was added thionyl chloride (2.0 ml). The mixture was refluxed for 2 hours, and concentrated. To a solution of (pyridin-3-ylmethyl)amine (154 mg) dissolved in methylene chloride (6.0 ml) and triethylamine (260 mg), a solution of the said chloride in methylene chloride (4.0 ml) were added dropwise. The mixture was stirred for 2 hours at room temperature. To the reaction mixture, ice-water and a 1N aqueous solution of sodium hydroxide (1.5 ml) were added dropwise. The mixture was extracted by ethyl acetate (40 ml). The extract was washed by a saturated sodium chloride, dried over anhydrous magnesium sulfate, and concentrated. The residue was recrystallized from a mixed solvent of ethyl acetate and hexane to give the compound of the present invention (330 mg) having the following physical data.
