This Application claims priority to U.S. Provisional Application No. 60/529,116, filed Dec. 15, 2003, the contents of which are hereby incorporated by reference.
The present invention relates to a novel cyclopropane compound. In further detail, the present invention relates to a cyclopropane compound or a pharmaceutically acceptable salt thereof having an aggrecanase inhibitory activity or matrix metalloproteinase (MMP) inhibitory activity, a pharmaceutical composition which comprises this compound and a pharmaceutical use thereof.
Aggrecan is a main proteoglycan in cartilage, and decomposition of its core protein by protease is one of the early signs of a joint disorder associated with arthrodial cartilage destruction, such as rheumatoid arthritis and osteoarthritis. This process of decomposition leading to the cartilage destruction begins with the disappearance of aggrecan on the surface of cartilage, and progresses to the decomposition of collagen type II fiber. MMPs (Matrix metalloproteinases) that cleave Asn 341-Phe 342 and aggrecanase that cleaves Glu 373-Ala 374 are known as enzymes involved in this decomposition of aggrecan, and both are metal-proteases having zinc in the catalytic active center. The latter was determined to be ADAMTS (A Disintegrin and Metalloproteinase with Thrombospondin Motifs) in 1999. ADAMTS 1 to 20 have been identified so far, and ADAMTS 4 and 5 correspond to aggrecanase-1 and aggrecanase-2, respectively. Conventionally, MMP have been considered to mainly cause cartilage destruction, but many reports have documented that the aggrecan fragments found in the joint of osteoarthritis (OA) patients are predominantly the fragments cleaved by aggrecanases. Thus, aggrecanase is also considered to be a significant vicious factor for these disease states.
At present, conservative treatments and surgical treatments are available for treating OA. The conservative therapy includes body weight control, exercise therapy, physical therapy, drug therapy (administration of anti-inflammatory drug), hyperthermia, and the like. It is a general practice to inject hyaluronic acid into the joint the course of these treatments to smoothen movement of the joint.
When improvement of conditions by the conservative treatments such as drug therapy, physical therapy, etc., is not achieved, a surgical treatment is performed. When the joint is highly deformed and causes a strong pain, an arthroplasty for embedding an artificial joint is performed as the final option. However, artificial joints have a life of only about 0.15 to 20 years, after which the QOL (Quality of Life) of the patient deteriorates.
At present, no drug that suppresses enzyme involved in cartilage destruction is available for OA treatment. When no improvement is made by a conservative treatment, cartilage destruction progresses and a surgical treatment will be required. Therefore, prevention of cartilage destruction before reaching the stage requiring a surgical treatment is important. A drug that inhibits aggrecanases involved in the destruction of cartilage is acknowledged to be an anti-OA drug having a sufficient cartilage destruction inhibitory activity. Without a surgical treatment, and moreover, such drug is expected to improve the QOL of patients.
Aggrecanase inhibitors have been developed as shown in the reports by DuPont (WO99/0900), Pfizer (JP-A-2001-114765) and the like, in which poor oral availability is a concern.
In addition, the MMP inhibitors under development include a compound that causes systemic connective tissue toxicity due to nonselective collagenase inhibition. It is proposed that the cause thereof is suppression of turnover of normal connective tissue collagen due to inhibition of collagenase-1 (MMP-1). It is clear, therefore, that the conventional products are not entirely satisfactory from the aspects of effective inhibition and occurrence of side effects.
The compound of the present invention possesses improved oral availability and shows strong aggrecanase inhibitory activity. While the compound is free of an MMP-1 inhibitory activity, it also has selective inhibitory activity of MMP-13, involved in joint destruction. Therefore, the compound is expected to suppress progress of joint diseases without causing side effects.
In addition, expressed in glioma, aggrecanase is suggested to be also involved in metastasis or tissue infiltration of tumor cells, like MMP, and in view of the current development of MMP inhibitor as an antimetastatic drug, the compound of the present invention having an inhibitory activity on both aggrecanase and MMP is expected to be a highly effective antitumor agent.
In bone metabolism, MMP suppresses decomposition of bone matrix and has a major part in bone resorption. In respiratory diseases, protease plays a key role in the course of destruction and remodeling of lung structure. MMP that uses an extracellular matrix (ECM), which is an architectural component of the protease, as a substrate is considered to be an important factor. Therefore, the compound of the present invention having MMP inhibitory activity is expected to be applicable to the bone resorption disorders and lung diseases, in which MMP is involved.
Various reports on compounds aiming at therapy of disorders such as OA, rheumatoid arthritis and the like by inhibition of aggrecanase have been published recently.
For example, JP-A-2002-284686 discloses a sulfonamide derivative having MMP-13 inhibitory activity and aggrecanase inhibitory activity. However, this publication does not include the compound having a structure, such as the structure of the compound of the present invention, or a disclosure suggestive thereof.
