Description
TECHNICAL FIELD

The present invention relates to novel cycloalkylamine derivatives having an excellent calcium sensing receptor (CaSR) activating action.

BACKGROUND ART

Parathyroid hormone (PTH) is a polypeptide hormone consisting of 84-amino acid residues secreted from the parathyroid, and has a function in maintaining homeostasis of calcium concentration in the blood.

Increases in PTH concentration in the blood increase calcium concentration in the blood via an action of enhancing calcium elution from bone to blood, an action of enhancing calcium resorption at the renal tubule, or the like. PTH concentration in the blood and calcium concentration in the blood have a close relationship, and decreases in the calcium concentration in the blood enhance secretion of PTH from the parathyroid, while increases in the calcium concentration in the blood suppress secretion of PTH from the parathyroid. From such feedback system, the calcium concentration in the blood is strictly controlled within a certain range. It is considered that the calcium sensing receptor (CaSR) existing on the cell membrane of the parathyroid is the one that mainly senses changes in calcium concentration in the blood.

CaSR is one of the seven-transmembrane G protein-coupled receptors. It is known that when CaSR of the parathyroid cells is activated by extracellular calcium, it increases the calcium concentration in the cell and decreases the secretion of PTH.

It is known that secondary hyperparathyroidism is often seen in renal failure patients, and PTH secretion is facilitated continuously as renal function decreases. It is considered that in secondary hyperparathyroidism, imbalance between the PTH concentration and the calcium concentration in the blood becomes a cause for arteriosclerosis and myocardial infarction derived from renal osteodystrophy and calcification of the cardiovascular system.

Conventional therapeutic agents for secondary hyperparathyroidism were mainly vitamin D preparations. Although administration of vitamin D preparations suppresses PTH secretion from the parathyroid, it enhances calcium absorption from the intestine, thereby limiting the dosage due to concerns about increases in calcium concentration in the blood. Therefore, administration of vitamin D preparations disadvantageously failed to exhibit a sufficient therapeutic effect.

On the other hand, CaSR activating agents (agonists) have an action mechanism in which the CaSR activating agent exerts its action on the CaSR of the parathyroid by improving the sensitivity of the receptor to calcium in the blood, thereby suppressing PTH secretion from the parathyroid, which provides decreases in the calcium concentration in the blood as a secondary action. Accordingly, it can be expected that PTH concentration in the blood is decreased without causing an increase in calcium concentration in the blood. Therefore, an agent which has a CaSR activating (agonist) action is expected as a therapeutic agent for hyperparathyroidism, renal osteodystrophy, hypercalcemia or the like.

In recent years, cinacalcet which was developed as a CaSR activating agent (agonist) (for example, refer to Patent Document 1) has been used as a novel therapeutic agent for hyperparathyroidism in the clinical field. However, since cinacalcet is disadvantageous in terms of its effectiveness and safety, creation of a CaSR activating agent (agonist) with high potency and high safety is desired (refer to non-Patent Document 1, Patent Document 1 and Patent Document 2). Further, while an arylalkylamine compound having CaSR activating (agonist) action is disclosed (Patent Document 3), it differs from the compound of the present invention in its structure.

Test Example 1 Human CaSR Activity Measurement Test

It is reported that human medullary thyroid carcinoma cell lines TT cells are cell lines that express human CaSR, and when CaSR is activated by extracellular calcium ions or the like, intracellular calcium ion concentration increases (Endocrinology 137: 3842-3848, 1996). Accordingly, an activating action of the test compounds with respect to human CaSR was evaluated by using the change in intracellular calcium concentration of TT cells as an indicator.

TT cells were inoculated onto a black well/clear bottom 96 well plate (poly-D-lysine coat: manufactured by BD biosciences), and were cultured for approximately 24 hours in a F-12 Nutrient Mixture (Kaighn's modification) culture media containing 10% calf serum and 0.5% antibiotic antimycotic. Subsequently, culture supernatant was removed by suction, followed by addition of a labeling buffer solution (20 mM HEPES, Hanks' Balanced Salt Solutions (HBSS (Ca, Mg, free) containing 2.5 mM probenecid, 2 mM CaCl2) containing FLIPR calcium 3 assay kit (manufactured by Molecular Device), which labels intracellular calcium ions by fluorescence, by 50 μL per well. Then, the plate was allowed to stand for 1 hour at 37° C. Subsequently, the above-mentioned plate was placed onto FlexStation (manufactured by Molecular Device) or FlexStation 3 (manufactured by Molecular Device), and fluorescence intensity before and after treatment with the test compound dissolved in a buffer for measurement (126 mM NaCl, 4 mM KCl, 1 mM MgCl2, 20 mM HEPES (pH 7.4), 5.6 mM glucose, 2 mM CaCl2) was measured. Here, with respect to the test compound, it was used by dissolving it in a solution mixture of dimethyl sulfoxide and methanol (blend ratio 7:3) in a predetermined concentration, and then it was added as a solution diluted with the buffer for measurement, so that the final concentration became 0.1%.

A concentration-reaction curve was plotted by taking the fluorescence intensity increase in the case of treatment with the buffer for measurement which does not contain the test compound as 0%, and taking the fluorescence intensity increase by 8 mM calcium as 100%, and then calculating the fluorescence intensity increase rate for the cases of treatment with various concentrations of the test compound. Then, human CaSR activation action by each of the test compounds was evaluated by calculating the concentration of the test compound which shows a fluorescence intensity increase rate of 50% (EC50 value). Further, EC50 was calculated by evaluating Compound A ((R)-1-naphthalen-1-yl-ethyl)-[3-(3-trifluoromethyl-phenyl)-propyl]-amine monohydrochloride, which is described in N. Nagano, Pharmacol. Ther., 2006, March, 109 (3), 339-365 and International Publication No. WO 1996/12697) as a comparative compound, by conducting a similar procedure. From the following equation, the human CaSR activity of each of the test compounds was calculated as the relative activity with respect to Compound A.

Relative activity with respect to Compound A=[EC50 of test compound]/[EC50 of Compound A]

(Results) Test results are shown in Table 6.

TABLE 6 Relative activity with respect to Test Compound Compound A Example 1 0.30 Example 3 0.18 Example 4 0.33 Example 5 0.52 Example 7 0.26 Example 8 0.61 Example 9 0.38 Example 10 0.28 Example 11 0.60 Example 12 0.36 Example 15 0.38 Example 16 0.72 Example 17 0.30 Example 21 0.38 Example 22 0.42 Example 23 0.12 Example 24 0.30 Example 25 0.34 Example 26 0.27 Example 27 0.59 Example 28 0.17 Example 29 0.30 Example 30 0.31 Example 31 0.36 Example 32 0.26 Example 33 0.23 Example 34 0.26 Example 36 0.15 Example 37 0.10 Example 38 0.13 Example 39 0.07

The compound of the present invention shows an excellent CaSR activating (agonist) action, and is useful as a therapeutic agent for hyperparathyroidism, renal osteodystrophy, hypercalcemia or the like.

Test Example 2 Measurement Test for Concentration of Parathyroid Hormone and Calcium Ion in Rat Blood

Three male SD rats (manufactured by Japan SLC, Inc.) were orally administered with the test compound, and effects on the concentration of parathyroid hormone (PTH) in the blood and concentration of the calcium ion in the blood were studied.

The test compound was administered by dissolving or suspending it in a 0.5% methyl cellulose 400 (MC) solution or 0.5% MC solution containing 10% of ethanol. (In addition, Compound A used in Test Example 1 was administered as a MC suspension by dosage of 30 mg/kg, and was studied as a comparative example.) Blood was collected from the jugular vein under anesthesia with halothane or isoflurane, before administration of the test compound, and 2, 4, 6 or 8 and 24 hours after administration. Calcium ion concentration in the blood was measured using cartridge EG7+(manufactured by Fuso Chemical Co., Ltd.) and i-STAT 300F (manufactured by Fuso Chemical Co., Ltd.). In addition, plasma intact PTH concentration was measured using Rat intact PTH ELISA kit (manufactured by Immutopics).

In the present test, each of the test compounds reduced the PTH concentration and calcium concentration in the blood.

(Results) Compound A reduced calcium concentration by 15 to 30%, 4 hours after administration with a dosage of 30 mg/kg. On the other hand, compounds of Examples 3, 7, 8, 10, 11, 15, 16, 17, 21, 24, 25, 31, 33, 34, 35 and 36 which are the compounds of the present invention reduced calcium concentration by 30% or more, 4 hours after administration with a dosage of 10 mg/kg.

In addition, compounds of Examples 17, 23, 24, 25, 27, 28, 30 and 31 which are the compounds of the present invention reduced calcium concentration by 20% or more, 4 hours after administration with a dosage of 0.3 mg/kg.

The transition of calcium ion concentration in the blood over time from before administration to 24 hours after administration of each of the test compounds was plotted, and the decrease in calcium ion concentration in the blood from the value before administration was calculated as an area value. The results thereof are shown in FIGS. 1 to 4.

The compound of the present invention shows an excellent lowering effect of parathyroid hormone concentration in the blood and calcium ion concentration, and is useful as a therapeutic agent for hyperparathyroidism, renal osteodystrophy, hypercalcemia or the like.
