TECHNICAL FIELD

The present patent application relates to furopyrimidinedione derivatives as TRPA1 modulators with transient receptor potential ankyrin1 (TRPA1) activity.

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION

The transient receptor potential (TRP) channels or receptors are pain receptors. They have been classified into seven subfamilies: TRPC (canonical), TRPV (vanilloid), TRPM (melastatin), TRPP (polycystin), TRPML (mucolipin), TRPA (ankyrin, ANKTM1) and TRPN (NOMPC) families. The TRPC family can be divided into 4 subfamilies (i) TRPC 1 (ii) TRPC2 (iii) TRPC3, TRPC6, TRPC7 and (iv) TRPC4, TRPC5 based on sequence functional similarities. Currently the TRPV family has 6 members. TRPV5 and TRPV6 are more closely related to each other than to TRPV1, TRPV2, TRPV3 or TRPV4. TRPA1 is most closely related to TRPV3 and is more closely related to TRPV1 and TRPV2 than to TRPV5 and TRPV6. The TRPM family has 8 members. Constituents include the following: the founding member TRPM1 (melastatin or LTRPC1), TRPM3 (KIAA1616 or LTRPC3), TRPM7 (TRP-PLIK, ChaK(1), LTRPC7), TRPM6 (ChaK2), TRPM2 (TRPC7 or LTRPC2), TRPM8 (TRP-p8 or CMR1), TRPM5 (MTR1 or LTRPC5) and TRPM4 (F1120041 or LTRPC4). The TRPML family consists of the mucolipins, which include TRPML1 (mucolipin 1), TRPML2 (mucolipin 2) and TRPML3 (mucolipin 3). The TRPP family consists of two groups of channels: those predicted to have six transmembrane domains and those that have eleven. TRPP2 (PKD2), TRPP3 (PKD2L1), TRPP5 (PKD2L2) are all predicted to have six transmembrane domains. TRPP1 (PKD1, PC1), PKD-REJ and PKD-1L1 are all thought to have eleven transmembrane domains. The sole mammalian member of the TRPA family is ANKTM1.

It is believed TRPA1 is expressed in nociceptive neurons. Nociceptive neurons of the nervous system sense the peripheral damage and transmit pain signals. TRPA1 is membrane bound and most likely acts as a heterodimeric voltage gated channel. It is believed to have a particular secondary structure, its N-terminus is lined with a large number of ankyrin repeats which are believed to form a spring-like edifice. TRPA1 is activated by a variety of noxious stimuli, including cold temperatures (activated at 17° C.), pungent natural compounds (e.g., mustard, cinnamon and garlic) and environmental irritants (MacPherson, L. J. et al., Nature, 2007, 445; 541-545). Noxious compounds activate TRPA1 ion channels through covalent modification of cysteines to form covalently linked adducts. Variety of endogenous molecules produced during tissue inflammation/injury have been identified as pathological activators of TRPA1 receptor. These include hydrogen peroxide which is produced due to oxidative stress generated during inflammation, alkenyl aldehyde 4-HNE—an intracellular lipid peroxidation product and cyclopentenone prostaglandin 15dPGJ2 which is produced from PGD2 during inflammation/allergic response. TRPA1 is also activated in receptor dependant fashion by Bradykinin (BK) which is released during tissue injury at peripheral terminals

The difference between TRPA1 and other TRP receptors is that TRPA1 ligand binding persists for hours due to which the physiological response (e.g., pain) is greatly prolonged. Hence to dissociate the electrophile, an effective antagonist is required.

WO 2009/158719, WO 2009/002933, WO 2008/0949099, WO 2007/073505, WO 2004/055054 and WO 2005/089206 describe the TRP channels as the targets for the treatment of pain and related conditions.

In efforts to discover better analgesics for the treatment of both acute and chronic pain and to develop treatments for various neuropathic and nociceptive pain states, there exists a need for a more effective and safe therapeutic treatment of diseases, conditions and/or disorders modulated by TRPA1.

The connection between therapeutic effect and inhibition of TRPA1 is illustrated, for example, in Story, G. M. et al. Cell, 2003, 112, 819-829; McMahon, S. B. and Wood, J. N., Cell, 2006, 124, 1123-1125; Voorhoeve, P. M. et al. Cell, 2006, 124 1169-1181; Wissenbach, U, Niemeyer, B. A. and Flockerzi, V. Biology of the Cell, 2004, 96, 47-54; and the references cited therein.

Pain can be acute or chronic. While acute pain is usually self-limiting, chronic pain persists for 3 months or longer and can lead to significant changes in a patient's personality; lifestyle, functional ability and overall quality of life (K. M. Foley, Pain, in Cecil Textbook of Medicine; J. C. Bennett & F. Plum (eds.), 20th ed., 1996, 100-107). The sensation of pain can be triggered by any number of physical or chemical stimuli and the sensory neurons which mediate the response to this harmful stimulus are termed as “nociceptors”. Nociceptors are primary sensory afferent (C and Aδ fibers) neurons that are activated by a wide variety of noxious stimuli including chemical, mechanical, thermal and proton (pH<6) modalities. Nociceptors are the nerves which sense and respond to parts of the body which suffer from damage. They signal tissue irritation, impending injury, or actual injury. When activated, they transmit pain signals (via the peripheral nerves as well as the spinal cord) to the brain.

Chronic pain can be classified as either nociceptive or neuropathic. Nociceptive pain includes tissue injury-induced pain and inflammatory pain such as that associated with arthritis. Neuropathic pain is caused by damage to the sensory nerves of the peripheral or central nervous system and is maintained by aberrant somatosensory processing. The pain is typically well localized, constant and often with an aching or throbbing quality. Visceral pain is the subtype of nociceptive pain that involves the internal organs. It tends to be episodic and poorly localized. Nociceptive pain is usually time limited, meaning when the tissue damage heals, the pain typically resolves (arthritis is a notable exception in that it is not time limited).

General Methods of Preparation

The compounds of the general formula (I), (Ia), (Ib) and (Ic) and specific examples to demonstrate embodiments of the invention can be prepared by methods described below in Schemes 1-8. However, those skilled in the art should, in light of the methods described herein, can prepare these compounds through similar approaches without departing from the spirit and scope of the invention. Furthermore, in the following synthetic schemes, where specific acids, bases, reagents, coupling agents, solvents, etc. are mentioned, it is understood that other suitable acids, bases, reagents, coupling agents etc. may be used and are included within the scope of the present invention. The compounds obtained by using the general reaction sequences may be of insufficient purity. These compounds can be purified by using any of the methods for purification of organic compounds known to persons skilled in the art, for example, crystallization or silica gel or alumina column chromatography using different solvents in suitable ratios. All possible stereoisomers are envisioned within the scope of this invention.

A general approach for the synthesis of furopyrimidinyl acetamides of the general formula (I), wherein Z1, Z2, R1, R2, R3, U, V and L are as defined above in description is prepared as described in Scheme 1. Coupling reaction of the compounds of the formula (1) (wherein R is hydrogen or alkyl) with amines of the formula (2) in the presence of a suitable coupling agent such as 1-ethyl-3-(3′-dimethylaminopropyl)carbodiimide hydrochloride (EDCI) and base in suitable solvent gives compounds of the formula (3). The selective N-alkylation of the compounds of the formula (3) where X is halogen, with suitable alkylating agent of the formula (4) in the presence of base in a suitable solvent gives compounds of the general formula (1).

A general approach for the synthesis of furo[2,3-d]pyrimidinyl acetamides of formula (Ia) wherein Ra is hydrogen and U, V, R1 and R2 are as defined above is prepared as shown is Scheme 2. Coupling reaction of 1,3-dialkylbarbituric acid derivative of the formula (5) with chloroacetyl chloride derivative (6) in the presence of a suitable base like sodium hydride and in a suitable solvent like THF gives 5-(chloroacetyl)-6-hydroxy-1,3-dialkylpyrimidine-2,4(1H,3H)-dione as an intermediate which on cyclisation in the presence of triethylamine gives furo[2,3-d]pyrimidinetrione of formula (7). A similar approach is described by Strekowski, L. et al. in J. Heterocyclic Chem. 2001, 38, 359-363. Furo[2,3-d]pyrimidinetrione compounds of formula (7) was converted into furo[2,3-d]pyrimidinedione ester of compounds of general formula (8) by reaction with the lithium salt of ethyl acetate (generated from dry ethyl acetate and Lithium bis(trimethylsilyl)amide [LHMDS]) followed by dehydration and isomerization under acidic conditions. Direct coupling of compounds of the general formula (8) with appropriate amines of formula (2) by using suitable base (e.g., sodium hydride) and in suitable solvent (e.g. toluene, tetrahydrofuran) gives compounds of the general formula (Ia). Alternatively, compounds of the general formula (Ia) can be prepared in two steps by hydrolysis of (8) under basic conditions to give the carboxylic acid (9) followed by coupling with amine of the general formula (2) using a suitable coupling agents [e.g., N-ethyl-N′-(3-dimethylaminopropyl) carbodiimide hydrochloride (EDCI), benzotriazol-1-yloxytris (dimethylamino) phosphonium hexafluorophosphate [BOP] in suitable solvent or mixture of solvents (e.g., N,N-dimethyl formamide, tetrahydrofuran, dichloromethane etc. to give compounds of the general formula (Ia).

Alternatively, the carboxylic acid intermediate of the general formula (9) can be prepared as described in scheme 3. Thus, reaction of cyanomethyl lithium with furo[2,3-d]pyrimidinetrione of formula (7) (where Ra is hydrogen or alkyl) in a suitable solvent gives furo[2,3-d]pyrimidinyl acetonitrile of the formula (10). This intermediate on hydrolysis under acidic conditions gives intermediates of the formula (9) required for the synthesis of compounds of the general formula (Ia).

Furo[2,3-d]pyrimidinedione ester of the formula (8a) where Ra is hydrogen or alkyl can also be prepared through a Wittig reaction on intermediate (7) as shown in Scheme 4. Thus, reaction of intermediate (7) with trimethyl phosphonoacetate in the presence of a suitable base such as sodium hydride, potassium tert-butoxide or n-butyl lithium in suitable solvent (e.g., tetrahydrofuran, dimethhyl sulfoxide) gives ester of the formula (11). The ester (11) is then isomerized under acidic conditions to give intermediates of the formula (8a) useful for the preparation of compounds of the present invention represented by the formula (Ia).

Another approach for the preparation of intermediates of the general formula (8b) is given in Scheme 5. Thus, Reformatsky reaction on intermediate (7) (where Ra is hydrogen or alkyl) by using BrZnCH2CO2R where R is alkyl (prepared from Zn and BrCH2CO2R) followed by in-situ dehydration of the carbinol intermediate gives intermediate (12). Double bond isomerization of intermediate (12) under acidic conditions gives the ester intermediate (8b).

General approach for the synthesis of compound of formula (Ic) (wherein Ra is hydrogen or methyl and R1, R2, R4, R5, R6, R7, R8 and R9 are as defined above) is depicted in scheme 6. Direct coupling of compounds of the general formula (8) with appropriate amines of formula (23) by using suitable base (e.g., sodium hydride) and in suitable solvent (e.g. toluene, tetrahydrofuran) gives compounds of the general formula (Ic). Alternatively, compounds of the general formula (Ic) can be prepared in two steps by hydrolysis of (8) under basic conditions to give the carboxylic acid (9) followed by its coupling with amine of the general formula (23) using a suitable coupling agents [e.g., N-ethyl-N′-(3-dimethylaminopropyl) carbodiimide hydrochloride (EDCI), benzotriazol-1-yloxytris (dimethylamino) phosphonium hexafluorophosphate [BOP]) in suitable solvent or mixture of solvents (e.g., N,N-dimethyl formamide, tetrahydrofuran, dichloromethane etc. to give compounds of the general formula (Ic).

A general approach for the synthesis of furo[3,4-d]pyrimidinyl acetamides of formula (Ib) wherein Ra, U, V, R1 and R2 are as defined above is prepared as shown is Scheme 7. 5-Methyl-4H-furo[3,4-d][1,3]oxazine-2,4(1H)-dione of the formula (13) can be prepared according to the procedure described by Press, J. B., et al. Eur. J. Med. Chem. 1989, 24, 627-630 starting from dialkyl 2-methylfuran-3,4-dicarboxylate. The intermediate of the formula (1) is treated with alkyl amine of the formula R1—NH2 to give the urea derivative (14) through a ring opening reaction. Cyclisation of intermediate (14) using 1,1′-carbonyldiimidazole (CDI) in suitable solvent followed by alkylation with R2X in the presence of a suitable solvent gives 3,5-dialkylfuro[3,4-d]pyrimidine-2,4(1H,3H)-dione of the formula (16) via intermediate (15). Intermediate (16) is deprotonated with a strong base such as sodium hydride or n-butyl lithium and reacted with dialkyl carbonate to give the ester (17). Coupling reaction of ester of the formula (17) with appropriate amines of formula (2) in the presence of a suitable base such as sodium hydride in the presence of suitable solvent such as dry toluene or xylene gives compounds of general formula (Ib).

A general approach for the synthesis of substituted 2-amino-4-aryl thiazoles of the formula (23) (wherein R4, R5, R6, R7, R8 and R9 are as defined above) from benzoic acid derivatives is given in Scheme 8. Thus, benzoic acid of formula (18) was converted to the corresponding acid chloride of formula (19) using oxalyl chloride in the presence of catalytic amounts of DMF in dry dichloromethane. The acid chloride of formula (19) was converted to corresponding Weinerb amide of formula (21) by treating with N,O-dimethylhydroxylamine hydrochloride of formula (20) in the presence of a suitable base such as triethylamine. The addition of methyl magnesium iodide to Weinreb amide of formula (21) afforded acetophenone derivative of formula (22).

Conversion of acetophenone derivative of formula (22) to 2-amino-4-aryl thiazole of the formula (23) can be effected by two approaches (Scheme 8). In the first case acetophenone was converted to the corresponding phenacyl bromide, which in turn was reacted with thiourea in a suitable solvent such as tetrahydrofuran at refluxing condition. Alternatively, acetophenone derivative of formula (22) can be converted to 2-amino-4-aryl thiazole (23) in one step by its reaction with thiourea and iodine in refluxing ethanol (Carroll, K. et al. J. Am. Chem. Soc. 1950, 3722 and Naik, S. J.; Halkar, U. P., ARKIVOC 2005, xiii, 141-149).

General procedure for the preparation of 2-amino-4-aryl thiazoles:

Method 1

A solution of acetophenone derivative (1.0 equiv) in glacial acetic acid (5 vol) was added liquid bromine (1.0 equiv) at 0° C. and reaction mixture was stirred at room temperature for 2 h. The reaction mixture was diluted with water and extracted with ethyl acetate, washed with brine and dried over Na2SO4. The crude product obtained upon concentration was dissolved in dry THF (10 volumes) and thiourea (2.0 equiv) was added and refluxed overnight. The reaction mixture was diluted with ethyl acetate, washed with sodium thiosulfate solution and organic layer was treated with 1N HCl to result in salt formation of the amine. The precipitated salt was collected by filtration. The salt was then treated with saturated solution of NaHCO3 to re-generate the amine. The mixture was extracted with dichloromethane (2×50 ml) and the combined organic extracts were washed with water and brine. The solvent was evaporated under reduced pressure to afford the 2-amino-4-aryl thiazole derivative.

Method 2

A solution of acetophenone derivative (1.0 equiv.), thiourea (2.0 equiv.) and iodine (1.0 equiv.) in dry ethanol (5 volumes) was refluxed for 24 h. The reaction mixture was diluted with ethyl acetate and the layers were separated. The organic layer was washed with sodium thiosulfate solution to remove iodine. The ethyl acetate solution was treated with 1N HCl and precipitated salt collected by filtration. The free amine was re-generated as described in Method 1 given above.

All the 2-amino-4-aryl thiazole derivatives were prepared by either Method 1 or Method 2 starting from appropriate aryl alkyl ketones. Structure information and characterization data for selected intermediates are given in Table 1.

For further illustration of methods of preparing the compounds of the present invention, the following examples are disclosed below.

EXAMPLES General Procedure

Method A:

To a stirred solution of appropriate amine (1.2 equiv.) in dry toluene, sodium hydride (1.4 equiv.) was added and after stirring for 30 min at room temperature, furopyrimidinyl acetic acid ester derivative (1.0 equiv.) was added and heated to reflux for 48 h. The reaction mixture was concentrated and the residue obtained was acidified to pH 6.0 by addition of 1 N hydrochloric acid and extracted with ethyl acetate. The combined organic layers were dried (Na2SO4). The residue obtained after evaporation of the solvent was purified by silica gel column chromatography using suitable ethyl acetate and petroleum ether mixture to obtain the desired products.

Method B:

To a stirred solution of furopyrimidinyl acetic acid derivative (1.0 equiv.) in 1,2-dichloroethane (5 vol.) was added EDCI (1.2 equiv.), HOBt (0.3 equiv.) and 4-dimethylaminopyridine (0.1 equiv.) and the mixture was stirred at room temperature for 10-15 min. An appropriate amine (1.0 equiv.) was then added and mixture was stirred at the same temperature for 48 h. Excess of solvent was evaporated and the residue obtained was diluted with ethyl acetate and 2 N HCl. Two layers were seperated. The organic layer was washed with water, brine, dried (Na2SO4) and filtered. The filtrate was concentrated under reduced pressure and the residue obtained was purified by silica gel column chromatography using 30% ethyl acetate in petroleum ether to afford the desired compound.

Pharmacological Activity

The illustrative examples of the present invention are screened for TRPA1 activity according to a modified procedure described in (a) Tóth, A. et al. Life Sciences, 2003, 73, 487-498. (b) McNamara C, R. et al, Proc. Natl. Acad. Sci. U.S.A., 2007, 104, 13525-13530. The screening of the compounds can be carried out by other methods and procedures known to persons skilled in the art.

Screening for TRPA1 Antagonist Using the 45Calcium Uptake Assay:

The inhibition of TRPA1 receptor activation was measured as inhibition of allyl isothiocyanate (AITC) induced cellular uptake of radioactive calcium.

Test compounds were dissolved in 100% DMSO to prepare 10 mM stock and then diluted using plain medium with 0.1% BSA and 1.8 mM CaCl2 to get the desired concentration. The final concentration of DMSO in the reaction was 0.5% (v/v). Human TRPA1 expressing CHO cells were grown in F-12 DMEM medium with 10% FBS, 1% penicillin-streptomycin solution, and 400 μg/ml of G-418. Rat TRPA1 expressing CHO cells were grown in F-12 DMEM medium with 10% FBS, 1% penicillin-streptomycin solution, and 400 μg/ml of Zeocin. Cells were seeded 24 h prior to the assay in 96 well plates so as to get ˜50,000 cells per well on the day of experiment. Cells were treated with the test compounds for 10 minutes followed by the addition of AITC at a final concentration of 30 μM (for human TRPA1) and/or 10 μM (for rat TRPA1) and 5 μCi/ml 45Ca+2 for 3 minutes. Cells were washed and lysed using a buffer containing 1% Triton X-100, 0.1% deoxycholate and 0.1% SDS. Radioactivity in the lysate was measured in a Packard TopCount after addition of liquid scintillant. (Toth et al, Life Sciences (2003) 73, 487-498; McNamara C R et al, Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences, (2007) 104, 13525-13530).

Concentration response curves were plotted as a % of maximal response obtained in the absence of test antagonist. IC50 values can be calculated from concentration response curve by nonlinear regression analysis using GraphPad PRISM software.

The compounds prepared were tested using the above assay procedure and the results obtained are given in Table 4. Percentage inhibition at concentrations of 1.0 μM and 10.0 μM are given in the table along with IC50 (nM) details for selected examples. The IC50 (nM) values of the compounds are set forth in Table 4 wherein “A” refers to an IC50 value of less than 50 nM, “B” refers to IC50 value in range of 50.01 to 100.0 nM and “C” refers to IC50 value of more than 100.0 nM
