BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION

The present invention relates to substituted sulfonamide derivatives, to a process for their preparation, to medicaments containing these compounds, and to the use of substituted sulfonamide derivatives in the preparation of pharmaceutical compositions and in treatment and/or inhibition of pain and/or various disease states.

Unlike the constitutive expression of the bradykinin 2 receptor (B2R), the bradykinin 1 receptor (B1R) is not expressed or is expressed only weakly in most tissues. However, the expression of B1R in various cells is inducible. For example, following inflammation reactions there is a rapid and pronounced induction of B1R in neuronal cells but also in various peripheral cells such as fibroblasts, endothelial cells, granulocytes, macrophages and lymphocytes. Accordingly, following inflammation reactions there is a switch from B2R to B1R dominance in the cells that are involved. The cytokines interleukin-1 (IL-1) and tumour necrosis factor alpha (TNFα) play a substantial part in this B1R up-regulation (Passos et al., J. Immunol. 2004, 172, 1839-1847). Following activation with specific ligands, B1R-expressing cells are then themselves able to secrete inflammation-promoting cytokines such as IL-6 and IL-8 (Hayashi et al., Eur. Respir. J. 2000, 16, 452-458). This results in the immigration of further inflammatory cells, for example neutrophilic granulocytes (Pesquero et al., PNAS 2000, 97, 8140-8145). By way of these mechanisms, the bradykinin B1R system can contribute to the chronification of diseases. This is proved by a large number of animal experiments (overviews in Leeb-Lundberg et al., Pharmacol. Rev. 2005, 57, 27-77 and Pesquero et al., Biol. Chem. 2006, 387, 119-126). In humans too, enhanced expression of B1R is found, for example in enterocytes and macrophages in the affected tissue of patients with inflammatory intestinal diseases (Stadnicki et al., Am. J. Physiol. Gastrointest. Liver Physiol. 2005, 289, G361-366) or on T-lymphocytes of patients with multiple sclerosis (Prat et al., Neurology, 1999; 53, 2087-2092), or activation of the bradykinin B2R-B1R system is found following infections with Staphylococcus aureus (Bengtson et al., Blood 2006, 108, 2055-2063). Infections with Staphylococcus aureus are responsible for symptoms ranging from superficial skin infections to septic shock.

Due to the described pathophysiological relationships there is a great therapeutic potential for the use of B1R antagonists in acute and, in particular, chronic inflammatory diseases. These include respiratory diseases (Asthma bronchiale, allergies, COPD/chronic-obstructive pulmonary disease, cystic fibrosis, etc.), inflammatory intestinal diseases (ulcerative colitis, CD/Crohn's disease, etc.), neurological diseases (multiple sclerosis, neurodegeneration, etc.), inflammations of the skin (atopic dermatitis, psoriasis, bacterial infections, etc.) and mucosa (Behcet's disease, pelvitis, prostatitis, etc.), rheumatic diseases (rheumatoid arthritis, osteoarthritis, etc.), septic shock and reperfusion syndrome (following heart attack, stroke).

Moreover, the bradykinin (receptor) system is also involved in regulating angiogenesis (potential as an angiogenesis inhibitor in cancer and macular degeneration of the eye), and B1R knockout mice are protected against the induction of excess weight as a result of a particularly high-fat diet (Pesquero et al., Biol. Chem. 2006, 387, 119-126). B1R antagonists are therefore suitable also for the treatment of obesity.

B1R antagonists are suitable in particular for the treatment of pain, in particular inflammatory pain and neuropathic pain (Calixto et al., Br. J. Pharmacol. 2004, 1-16), in particular diabetic neuropathy (Gabra et al., Biol. Chem. 2006, 387, 127-143). They are also suitable for the treatment of migraine.

When developing B1R modulators there is, however, the problem that the human and the rat B1R receptor are so very different from one another that many compounds that are good B1R modulators on the human receptor exhibit only poor affinity or no affinity for the rat receptor. This makes animal pharmacological studies considerably more difficult, because many studies are normally carried out on the rat. If there is no activity on the rat receptor, however, neither action nor side-effects can be studied on the rat. This has already resulted in the production of transgenic animals having human B1 receptors for animal pharmacological studies (Hess et al., Biol. Chem. 2006; 387(2): 195-201). However, it is more expensive to work with transgenic animals than with the unchanged animals. Nonetheless, because long-term toxicity studies on the rat form part of the standard studies that are carried out when developing medicaments, but such studies are meaningless where there is an absence of activity on the receptor, there is no important, established instrument for checking safety when developing such compounds. There is therefore a need for novel B1R modulators, B1R modulators that bind both to the rat receptor and to the human receptor offering particular advantages.

      in the form of the racemate; in the form of the enantiomers, diastereoisomers, mixtures of the enantiomers or diastereoisomers or in the form of an individual enantiomer or diastereoisomer; in the form of the bases and/or salts of physiologically acceptable acids.

The numbering of the individual forms of the substances according to the invention that is used above is retained in the explanations of the present invention that follow, in particular in the description of the examples.

The compounds according to the invention exhibit an antagonistic action on the human B1R receptor or the B1R receptor of the rat. In a preferred embodiment of the invention, the substances according to the invention exhibit an antagonistic action both on the human B1R receptor and on the B1R receptor of the rat.

Particular preference is given to compounds which exhibit at least 15%, 25%, 50%, 70%, 80% or 90% inhibition on the human B1R receptor and/or on the B1R receptor of the rat in the FLIPR assay at a concentration of 10 μM. Most particular preference is given to compounds which exhibit at least 70%, especially 80% and particularly preferably 90% inhibition on the human B1R receptor and on the B1R receptor of the rat.

The agonistic or antagonistic action of substances can be quantified on the bradykinin receptor 1 (B1R) of the species human and rat with ectopically expressing cell lines (CHO K1 cells) and with the aid of a Ca2+-sensitive dye (Fluo-4) using a fluorescent imaging plate reader (FLIPR). The indication in % activation is based on the Ca2+ signal after addition of Lys-Des-Arg9-bradykinin (0.5 nM) or Des-Arg9-bradykinin (100 nM). Antagonists result in a suppression of the Ca2+ influx following administration of the agonist. The % inhibition in comparison with the maximum achievable inhibition is indicated.

The substances according to the invention are active, for example, on B1R, which is relevant in connection with various diseases, so that they are suitable as a pharmaceutical active ingredient in a medicament. The invention therefore further provides pharmaceutical compositions or medicaments comprising at least one substituted sulfonamide derivative according to the invention as well as, optionally, suitable additives and/or auxiliary substances and/or, optionally, further active ingredients.

In addition to comprising at least one substituted sulfonamide derivative according to the invention, the pharmaceutical compositions according to the invention optionally comprise suitable additives and/or auxiliary substances, that is to say carriers, fillers, solvents, diluents, colorings and/or binders, and can be administered as liquid pharmaceutical dosage forms in the form of injection solutions, drops or juices, as semi-solid pharmaceutical dosage forms in the form of granules, tablets, pellets, patches, capsules, plasters/spray-on plasters or aerosols. The choice of auxiliary substances etc. and the amounts thereof to be used depend on whether the medicament is to be administered orally, perorally, parenterally, intravenously, intraperitoneally, intradermally, intramuscularly, intranasally, buccally, rectally or locally, for example to the skin, the mucosa or to the eyes. Preparations suitable for oral administration are in the form of tablets, dragées, capsules, granules, drops, juices and syrups, and those suitable for parenteral and topical administration and administration by inhalation are solutions, suspensions, readily reconstitutable dry preparations and sprays. Substituted sulfonamide derivatives according to the invention in a depot, in dissolved form or in a plaster, optionally with the addition of agents promoting penetration through the skin, are suitable percutaneous forms of administration. Forms of preparation for oral or percutaneous administration can release the substituted sulfonamide derivatives according to the invention in a delayed manner. The substituted sulfonamide derivatives according to the invention can also be administered in parenteral long-term depot forms, such as, for example, implants or implanted pumps. In principle, other further active ingredients known to the person skilled in the art can be added to the medicaments according to the invention.

The amount of active ingredient to be administered to the patient varies depending on the weight of the patient, the manner of administration, the indication and the severity of the disease. Usually, from 0.00005 to 50 mg/kg, preferably from 0.01 to 5 mg/kg, of at least one substituted sulfonamide derivative according to the invention are administered.

In a preferred form of the pharmaceutical composition or medicament, a substituted sulfonamide derivative according to the invention that is present is in the form of a pure diastereoisomer and/or enantiomer, in the form of a racemate or in the form of a non-equimolar or equimolar mixture of the diastereoisomers and/or enantiomers.

B1R has been identified in particular in occurrences of pain. Accordingly, substituted sulfonamide derivatives according to the invention can be used in the treatment of pain, in particular of acute, visceral, neuropathic or chronic pain. The invention accordingly relates further to the use of a substituted sulfonamide derivative according to the invention in the treatment of pain, in particular of acute, visceral, neuropathic or chronic pain. The invention relates further to the use of a substituted sulfonamide derivative according to the invention in the treatment of diabetes, respiratory diseases, inflammatory intestinal diseases, neurological diseases, inflammations of the skin, rheumatic diseases, septic shock, reperfusion syndrome and obesity, and as an angiogenesis inhibitor.

In one of the above uses it can be preferred for a substituted sulfonamide derivative that is used to be in the form of a pure diastereoisomer and/or enantiomer, in the form of a racemate or in the form of a non-equimolar or equimolar mixture of the diastereoisomers and/or enantiomers.

The invention further provides a method of treating, in particular in one of the above-mentioned indications, a non-human mammal or a human requiring treatment for pain, in particular for chronic pain, by administering a therapeutically effective dose of a substituted sulfonamide derivative according to the invention or of a medicament according to the invention.

Reaction of 2-((1-(4-methoxy-2,6-dimethylphenylsulfonyl)piperidin-2-yl)methoxy)acetic acid (acid structural unit S27) with amines (R5R6NH)

The example compounds listed in the following table were prepared from acid structural unit S27 by reaction with the corresponding amines (R5R6NH) closely following the processes described for Examples 8 and 92-96. The amines used are commercially available, can be prepared by methods known to the person skilled in the art, or were synthesized according to described processes. Instead of the solvent dichloromethane, the solvent N,N-dimethylformamide was used in the synthesis of the following example compounds: Example 113, 143 and 146. For the preparation of example compounds in which amines were used which were not in the form of the free base but in the form of the corresponding hydrochlorides (×HCl), a corresponding amount of triethylamine was added to the reaction (eq. Et3N=×HCl). For Example 99, the formation of the hydrochloride was carried out analogously to the process described for Example 97.

Pharmacological Studies Functional Study on the Bradykinin Receptor 1 (B1R)

The agonistic or antagonistic action of substances can be determined on the bradykinin receptor 1 (B1R) of the species human and rat using the following assay. According to this assay, the Ca2+ influx through the channel is quantified with the aid of a Ca2+-sensitive dye (type Fluo-4, Molecular Probes Europe BV, Leiden, Netherlands) using a Fluorescent Imaging Plate Reader (FLIPR, Molecular Devices, Sunnyvale, USA).

Method:

Chinese hamster ovary cells (CHO K1 cells) which have been stably transfected with the human B1R gene (hB1R cells, Euroscreen s.a., Gosselies, Belgium) or with the B1R gene of the rat (rB1R cells, Axxam, Milan, Italy) are used. For functional studies, the cells are plated out on black 96-well plates having a clear base (BD Biosciences, Heidelberg, Germany) in a density of 20,000-25,000 cells/well. The cells are incubated overnight at 37° C. and with 5% CO2 in culture medium (hB1R cells: Nutrient Mixture Ham's F12, Gibco Invitrogen GmbH, Karlsruhe, Germany; rB1R cells: D-MEM/F12, Gibco Invitrogen GmbH, Karlsruhe, Germany), with 10 vol. % FBS (fetal bovine serum, Gibco Invitrogen GmbH, Karlsruhe, Germany). On the following day, the cells are loaded for 60 minutes at 37° C. with 2.13 μM Fluo-4 (Molecular Probes Europe BV, Leiden, Netherlands) in HBSS buffer (Hank's buffered saline solution, Gibco Invitrogen GmbH, Karlsruhe, Germany) with 2.5 M probenecid (Sigma-Aldrich, Taufkirchen, Germany) and 10 mM HEPES (Sigma-Aldrich, Taufkirchen, Germany). The plates are then washed twice with HBSS buffer, and HBSS buffer additionally containing 0.1% BSA (bovine serum albumin; Sigma-Aldrich, Taufkirchen, Germany), 5.6 mM glucose and 0.05% gelatin (Merck KGaA, Darmstadt, Germany) is added to the plates. After incubation for a further 20 minutes at room temperature, the plates are inserted into the FLIPR for Ca2+ measurement. The Ca2+-dependent fluorescence is measured before and after the addition of substances (λex=488 nm, λem=540 nm). Quantification is carried out by measuring the highest fluorescence intensity (FC, fluorescence counts) over time.

FLIPR Assay:

The FLIPR protocol consists of 2 substance additions. Test substances (10 μM) are first pipetted onto the cells and the Ca2+ influx is compared with the control (hB1R: Lys-Des-Arg9-bradykinin 0.5 nM; rB1R: Des-Arg9-bradykinin 100 nM). This gives the activation in %, based on the Ca2+ signal after addition of Lys-Des-Arg9-bradykinin (0.5 nM) or Des-Arg9-bradykinin (100 nM).

After 10 minutes' incubation, 0.5 nM Lys-Des-Arg9-bradykinin (hB1R) or 100 nM Des-Arg9-bradykinin (rB1R) are applied, and the influx of Ca2+ is likewise determined. Antagonists lead to suppression of the Ca2+ influx. The % inhibition compared with the maximum achievable inhibition is calculated. The compounds exhibit good activity on the human and the rat receptor.

Inhibition of the Bradykinin Receptor 1 (B1R)-Mediated Formation of IL-6 in Fibroblasts by Substances According to the Invention as B1R Antagonists

The pro-inflammatory cytokines TNFα (or IL-1) lead in various cell types, such as, for example, fibroblasts, to an activation, which brings about inter alia enhanced expression of B1R. Subsequent stimulation of these cells with a B1R agonist results in the formation of further pro-inflammatory cytokines, such as, for example, IL-6. The chronification of inflammations is thereby promoted. Treatment with a B1R antagonist should lead to inhibition of the B1R agonist-induced IL-6 formation. By way of example, a B1R antagonist identified in the FLIPR assay was tested in this respect.

Methods:

The human fibroblast cell line IMR-90 (ATCC, CCL-186) was passaged in culture medium (Ham's F12 nutrient mixture, Gibco Invitrogen GmbH, Karlsruhe Germany with 10% FBS, fetal bovine serum, Gibco, Invitrogen GmbH, Karlsruhe Germany; 0.1 mM non-essential amino acids, Gibco, 11140-035, 1 mM sodium pyruvate, Euro Clone, ECM0542D; 1.5 g/l sodium bicarbonate, Euro Clone, ECM0980D) on 80 cm2 bottles (Nunc; 178905) (ratio: 1:2 to 1:6; medium replaced every 3-4 days) and plated out for experiments on 96-well plates (Greiner bio-one; No. 655180) with 1×105 cells per well. The cells are incubated overnight at 37° C. and 5% CO2.

For activation with TNFα (human, recombinant, expressed in E. coli, SIGMA-ALDRICH T6674, 10 ng/ml) alone or TNFα combined with the human B1R agonist Lys-Des-Arg9-bradykinin (Lys-Des-Arg9-BK), the IMR-90 fibroblasts were incubated overnight at 37° C. and 5% CO2 in culture medium. The final concentrations of Lys-Des-Arg9-BK were 1000 nM or 10 nM. Some IMR-90 stimulation batches additionally contained the B1R antagonist of Example 8 in a final concentration of 10 μM. 24 hours after activation, in each case 150 μl of culture medium were removed from all the different stimulation batches and were transferred to a new plate and frozen. After thawing of the supernatants, the IL-6 content was determined by means of a commercially available IL-6 Elisa.

The above-described processes were carried out with Example compound 8. The results are shown in the following table:

Production of IL-6 (pg/ml) by IMR-90 fibroblasts TNFα + Lys-Des- TNFα + Lys-Des- TNFα alone Arg9-BK (1000 nM) Arg9-BK (10 nM) without 149 pg/ml 2155 pg/ml 2462 pg/ml antagonist Example 8 136 pg/ml  483 pg/ml  119 pg/ml

IMR-90 fibroblasts stimulated with TNFα or Lys-Des-Arg9-BK alone produce only small amounts of IL-6 (149 pg/ml and 34 pg/ml, respectively). Stimulation with TNFα in combination with Lys-Des-Arg9-BK results in an about 10- to 20-fold increase in IL-6 synthesis. This activation of IL-6 formation is inhibited by the B1R antagonist of Example 8 in a dose-dependent manner. The action of the relatively low dose of the agonist Lys-Des-Arg9-BK (10 nM) is eliminated almost completely, whereas a relatively high dose of Lys-Des-Arg9-BK (1000 nM) is still partially inhibited. The inhibitory action of Example 8 is B1R-specific, because the activating effect of TNFα alone is not taken into account.

Formalin Test in the Mouse

The formalin test (Dubuisson, D. and Dennis, S. G., 1977, Pain, 4, 161-174) represents a model for both acute and chronic pain. By means of a single formalin injection into the dorsal side of a rear paw, a biphasic nociceptive reaction is induced in freely mobile test animals; the reaction is detected by observing three behaviour patterns which are clearly distinguishable from one another. The reaction is two-phase: phase 1=immediate reaction (duration up to 10 min., shaking of the paw, licking), phase 2=late reaction (after a rest phase; likewise shaking of the paw, licking; duration up to 60 min.). The 1st phase reflects a direct stimulation of the peripheral nocisensors with high spinal nociceptive input (acute pain phase); the 2nd phase reflects a spinal and peripheral hypersensitization (chronic pain phase). In the studies described here, the chronic pain component (phase 2) has been evaluated.

Formalin in a volume of 20 μl and a concentration of 1% is administered subcutaneously into the dorsal side of the right rear paw of each animal. The specific changes in behavior, such as lifting, shaking or licking of the paw (score 3, Dubuisson & Dennis, 1977), are observed and recorded in the observation period of 21 to 24 minutes following the formalin injection. The behaviour of the animals after administration of the substance (n=10 per dose of substance) was compared with a control group which received vehicle (n=10).

Based on the quantification of the pain behavior, the action of the substance in the formalin test was determined as the change in percent compared with the control. The ED50 calculations (ED50=mean effective dose) were carried out by regression analysis according to the method of Litchfield and Wilcoxon (Litchfield, J. T., Wilcoxon, J. J., 1949, J. Pharmacol. Exp. Ther. 96, 99-113). The time of administration before the formalin injection was chosen in dependence on the mode of administration of the compounds according to the invention (intravenous: 5 min.).

The ED50 values of some examples are given in the following table:
