FIELD OF THE INVENTIONThe present invention generally relates to substituted heteroaryl aldehydes and derivatives thereof that act as allosteric modulators of hemoglobin, methods and intermediates for their preparation, pharmaceutical compositions comprising the modulators, and methods for their use in treating disorders mediate by hemoglobin and disorders that would benefit from increased tissue oxygenation.
BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTIONHemoglobin (Hb) is a tetrameric protein in red blood cells that transports up to four oxygen molecules from the lungs to various tissues and organs throughout the body. Hemoglobin binds and releases oxygen through conformational changes, and is in the tense (T) state when it is unbound to oxygen and in the relaxed (R) state when it is bound to oxygen. The equilibrium between the two conformational states is under allosteric regulation. Natural compounds such as 2,3-bisphosphoglycerate (2,3-BPG), protons, and carbon dioxide stabilize hemoglobin in its de-oxygenated T state, while oxygen stabilizes hemoglobin in its oxygenated R state. Other relaxed R states have also been found, however their role in allosteric regulation has not been fully elucidated.
Sickle cell disease is a prevalent disease particularly among those of African and Mediterranean descent. Sickle hemoglobin (HbS) contains a point mutation where glutamic acid is replaced with valine, allowing the T state to become susceptible to polymerization to give the HbS containing red blood cells their characteristic sickle shape. The sickled cells are also more rigid than normal red blood cells, and their lack of flexibility can lead to blockage of blood vessels. Certain synthetic aldehydes have been found to shift the equilibrium from the polymer forming T state to the non-polymer forming R state (Nnamani et al. Chemistry & Biodiversity Vol. 5, 2008 pp. 1762-1769) by acting as allosteric modulators to stabilize the R state through formation of a Schiff base with an amino group on hemoglobin.
U.S. Pat. No. 7,160,910 discloses 2-furfuraldehydes and related compounds that are also allosteric modulators of hemoglobin. One particular compound 5-hydroxymethyl-2-furfuraldehyde (5HMF) was found to be a potent hemoglobin modulator both in vitro and in vivo. Transgenic mice producing human HbS that were treated with 5HMF were found to have significantly improved survival times when exposed to extreme hypoxia (5% oxygen). Under these hypoxic conditions, the 5HMF treated mice were also found to have reduced amounts of hypoxia-induced sickled red blood cells as compared to the non-treated mice.
A need exists for therapeutics that can shift the equilibrium between the deoxygenated and oxygenated states of Hb to treat disorders that are mediated by Hb or by abnormal Hb such as HbS. A need also exists for therapeutics to treat disorders that would benefit from having Hb in the R state with an increased affinity for oxygen. Such therapeutics would have applications ranging, for example, from sensitizing hypoxic tumor cells that are resistant to standard radiotherapy or chemotherapy due to the low levels of oxygen in the cell, to treating pulmonary and hypertensive disorders, and to promoting wound healing.

“Protecting group” refers to a group of atoms that, when attached to a reactive functional group in a molecule, mask, reduce or prevent the reactivity of the functional group. Typically, a protecting group may be selectively removed as desired during the course of a synthesis. Examples of protecting groups can be found in Greene and Wuts, Protective Groups in Organic Chemistry, 3rd Ed., 1999, John Wiley & Sons, NY and Harrison et al., Compendium of Synthetic Organic Methods, Vols. 1-8, 1971-1996, John Wiley & Sons, NY.

The prodrug group can also serve to increase the bioavailability of the aldehyde. In one group of embodiments, the prodrug group is hydrolyzed in vivo to the aldehyde. In one group of embodiments, the aldehyde protecting group is a thiazolidine or N-acetylthiazolidine prodrug group. In one group of embodiments, the aldehyde protecting group is a thiazolidine prodrug group disclosed in U.S. Pat. No. 6,355,661. In one group of embodiments the modulators provided herein are condensed with L-cysteine or a L-cysteine derivative to form the corresponding thiazolidine protected aldehyde prodrug.

“Tautomer” refers to alternate forms of a molecule that differ in the position of a proton, such as enol-keto and imine-enamine tautomers, or the tautomeric forms of heteroaryl groups containing a —N═C(H)—NH— ring atom arrangement, such as pyrazoles, imidazoles, benzimidazoles, triazoles, and tetrazoles. A person of ordinary skill in the art would recognize that other tautomeric ring atom arrangements are possible.
The terms “treat”, “treating”, “treatment” and grammatical variations thereof as used herein, includes partially or completely delaying, alleviating, mitigating or reducing the intensity, progression, or worsening of one or more attendant symptoms of a disorder or condition and/or alleviating, mitigating or impeding one or more causes of a disorder or condition. Treatments according to the invention may be applied preventively, prophylactically, pallatively or remedially.
The symbol > when used in connection with a substituent signifies that the substituent is a divalent substituent attached to two different atoms through a single atom on the substituent.
The term “wavy line” signifies the point of attachment of the substituent to the remainder of the molecule. When the wavy line is not depicted as being specifically appended to a specific ring atom, the point of attachment can be to any suitable atom of the substituent. For example, the wavy line in the following structure:
is intended to include, as the point of attachment, any of the six substitutable carbon atoms.
Compounds that have the same molecular formula but differ in the nature or sequence of bonding of their atoms or the arrangement of their atoms in space are termed “isomers”. Isomers that differ in the arrangement of their atoms in space are termed “stereoisomers”. “Stereoisomer” and “stereoisomers” refer to compounds that exist in different stereoisomeric forms if they possess one or more asymmetric centers or a double bond with asymmetric substitution and, therefore, can be produced as individual stereoisomers or as mixtures. Stereoisomers include enantiomers and diastereomers. Stereoisomers that are not mirror images of one another are termed “diastereomers” and those that are non-superimposable mirror images of each other are termed “enantiomers”. When a compound has an asymmetric center, for example, it is bonded to four different groups, a pair of enantiomers is possible. An enantiomer can be characterized by the absolute configuration of its asymmetric center and is described by the R- and S-sequencing rules of Cahn and Prelog, or by the manner in which the molecule rotates the plane of polarized light and designated as dextrorotatory or levorotatory (i.e., as (+) or (−)-isomers respectively). A chiral compound can exist as either individual enantiomer or as a mixture thereof. A mixture containing equal proportions of the enantiomers is called a “racemic mixture”. Unless otherwise indicated, the description is intended to include individual stereoisomers as well as mixtures. The methods for the determination of stereochemistry and the separation of stereoisomers are well-known in the art (see discussion in Chapter 4 of A
The compounds of the present invention may also contain unnatural proportions of atomic isotopes at one or more of the atoms that constitute such compounds. For example, the compounds may be radiolabeled with isotopes, such as for example deuterium (2H), tritium (3H), iodine-125 (125I) or carbon-14 (14C). All isotopic variations of the compounds of the present invention, whether radioactive or not, are intended to be encompassed within the scope of the present invention.
Unless indicated otherwise, the nomenclature of substituents that are not explicitly defined herein are arrived at by naming the terminal portion of the functionality followed by the adjacent functionality toward the point of attachment. For example, the substituent “alkoxyalkyl” refers to an akyl group that is substituted with alkoxy and “hydoxyalkyl” refers to an akyl group that is substituted with hydroxy. For both of these substituents, the point of attachment is at the alkyl group.
It is understood that the definitions and formulas provided herein are not intended to include impermissible substitution patterns (e.g., methyl substituted with 5 fluoro groups). Such impermissible substitution patterns are well known to the skilled artisan.

or a tautomer or pharmaceutically acceptable salt thereof
In one group of embodiments, provided is a pharmaceutical composition comprising a compound of any of the above embodiments or a tautomer or pharmaceutically acceptable salt thereof.
In one group of embodiments, provided is a compound in any of the Examples or Tables. In another group of embodiments, provided are any combinations of subembodiments as disclosed herein including any combination of elements disclosed herein including the a selection of any single elements.
The compounds of the present invention may be prepared by known organic synthesis techniques, including the methods described in more detail in the Examples.
In one group of embodiments, provided is an intermediate compound used in the preparation of the compounds disclosed herein.
In one group of embodiments, provided are methods for preparing the compounds disclosed herein.
For example, Scheme I shows a synthetic route for the synthesis of the compounds of Formula (I) where X is O and Y is CH2. Phenol 1.1 is contacted with intermediate 1.2 in the presence of base under ether forming conditions to give ether 1.3, where Lg represents a leaving group such as a halogen leaving group. Conversely, when X is O and Y is CH2, the compounds of Formula (I) can be prepared using the appropriate starting materials where the OH moiety of intermediate 1.1 is replaced with a leaving group and the Lg group of intermediate 1.2 is replaced with an OH group.
Scheme II shows an example of a synthetic route for the synthesis of the compounds of
Formula (I) where X and Y are CH2. Alkene 2.1 is contacted with alkene 2.2 under metathesis forming conditions in the presence of an appropriate transition metal catalyst. Suitable catalysts include ruthenium catalysts such as Grubbs' catalyst. Product 2.3 is then hydrogenated to give compound 2.4.
Scheme III shows an example of a synthetic route for the synthesis of the compounds of Formula (I) where R6 together with R1b form a cyclic ether. Compound 3.1, is reacted with diethylphosphite and a base such as sodium methoxide to give intermediate 3.2, that is then condensed with aldehyde 3.3 to give alkene 3.4. Treatment of the alkene with H2 under hydrogenation conditions gives lactone 3.4, which is then reduced with a suitable reducing agent such as LiBHEt3 to give cyclic hemiacetal 3.5.
Scheme IV shows an example of synthesis of the compounds of Formula (I) where Q is pyridine-3-yl and Ra heteroaryl. Acid 4.1 is reduced to alcohol 4.2 using known methods such as by forming the anhydride (e.g. treatment with triethylamine and i-butyl chloroformate) followed by reduction with NaBH4. Alcohol 4.2 is converted to chloride 4.3 such as by treatment with thionyl chloride. Coupling of the halide with alcohol 4.4 under ether forming conditions gives the precursor 4.5 that can be functionalized with a variety to heteroaryl Ra groups. For example, 4.5 can be coupled with pyrazole 4.6 under known organometallic coupling conditions (e.g. Pd(PPh3)4) to give 4.7, where PG is a nitrogen protecting group such as a silyl protecting group that can be removed to give the product 4.8.
One skilled in the art will recognize that in certain embodiments it may be advantageous to use a protecting group strategy. The protecting group can be removed using methods known to those skilled in the art.
The compounds of the present invention may generally be utilized as the free base. Alternatively, the compounds of this invention may be used in the form of acid addition salts.
It is understood that in another group of embodiments, any of the above embodiments may also be combined with other embodiments listed herein, to form other embodiments of the invention. Similarly, it is understood that in other embodiments, listing of groups includes embodiments wherein one or more of the elements of those groups is not included.

In Vitro Testing Example 95 Modulation of Hemoglobin Oxygen Affinity by Heteroaryl Aldehydes Assay ProcedureOxygen equilibrium curves (OEC) in purified Hemoglobin S (HbS) were measured by the change in p50, the partial pressure of oxygen at which the heme binding sites in the HbS sample are 50% saturated with oxygen. HbS was purified by a modified procedure (Antonini and Brunori, 1971; Heomoglobin and Myoglobin in their Reactions with Ligands; North Holland Publishing Company; Amsterdam, London) from blood obtained from homozygous sickle cell patients though the Hemoglobinopathy Center at Children's Hospital Oakland Research Institute (CHORI) with Institutional Review Board approval. Oxygen equilibrium curves were carried out with a HEMOX analyzer, (TCS Scientific, New Hope, Pa.). Five hundred μL of 250 μM purified HbS were diluted into 4.5 mL of HEMOX buffer (30 mM TES, 130 mM NaCl, 5 mM KCl, pH=7.4) resulting in a final hemoglobin concentration of 25 μM. The compounds were added at the final desired concentrations. The mixture was incubated for 45 min at 37° C. and then transferred to the Hemox sample chamber. The samples were saturated with oxygen by flushing with compressed air for 10 minutes. The samples were then flushed with pure nitrogen and the absorbance of deoxy-Hb was recorded as a function of the solution pO2. The oxygen equilibrium data was then fit to the Hill Model to obtain values for p50. The deoxygenation curves for both HbS alone (control) and HbS in the presence of compound were collected with the TCS software. The p50 for purified Hbs was typically 13.8±1.6. Delta p50 values were obtained from the p50 value for control minus the p50 value for HbS treated with compound divided by the p50 value for the control. A positive delta p50 value corresponds to a left shifted curve and a lower p50 value relative to control, indicating that the compound acts to modulate HbS to increase its affinity for oxygen.
Example 96 Modulation of Hemoglobin Oxygen Affinity by Heteroaryl Aldehydes—Assay ResultsThe compounds of Table 1 that were where tested in the assay above were all found to have positive delta p50 values. Delta p50% is calculated from [[p50(HbS)−p50(HbS treated with compound)]/p50(HbS)]×100. Table 2 below lists the delta p50% values where + indicates a delta p50% of between 0 and 29, ++ indicates a delta p50% of between 30 and 50, and +++ indicates a delta p50% of 50 or greater. Unless noted otherwise, the compounds in Table 2 were tested at 30 μM.
Polymerization assays are carried out in vitro using purified HBS exchanged into 1.8 M potassium phosphate buffer at pH 7.4. Using a slightly modified protocol (Antonini and Brunori, 1971), HbS is purified by the CRO VIRUSYS, from blood obtained from homozygous sickle cell patients through the Hemoglobinopathy Center at Children's Hospital Oakland Research Institute (CHORI) with Institutional Review Board approval. Compounds are prepared in 100% DMSO and a desired amount is added to 50 μM of purified HBS at a final DMSO concentration of 0.3%. Final potassium phosphate concentration is adjusted to 1.8 M using a combination of 2.5 M potassium phosphate stock solution and water at pH 7.4. The reaction mixture is incubated for an hour at 37° C. and then transferred into a 24-well plate for deoxygenation in a glove box containing 99.5% nitrogen and 0.5% oxygen. The 24-well plate is not covered and incubated at 4° C. on a plate cooler inside the glove box for one and a half hours. Fifty μL of the reaction mixture is transferred into a 96-well plate and the absorbance at 700 nm is measured every minute for one hour at 37° C. in a plate reader located inside the glove box. A plot of the absorbance against time is fitted using a Boltzman sigmoidal fit and the delay time (from zero to time at half Vmax) is measured. To compare and rank compounds, delay times are expressed as percent delay (% DT), which is defined as the difference in delay times for HBS/compound and HBS alone multiplied by 100 and divided by the delay time for HBS alone.
Compounds listed below have been tested in the polymerization assay. Activity ranges are defined by the number of dagger (†) symbols indicated. † denotes activity≧40% but ≦80%; †† denotes activity>80% but ≦120%; ††† denotes activity>120% but ≦140%; †††† denotes activity>160%.
A relaxed-to-tense transition assay (“R/T assay”) was used to determine the ability of substituted benzaldehyde compounds to maintain the high-oxygen affinity relaxed (R) state of hemoglobin under deoxygenated conditions. This ability can be expressed as a “delta R” value (i.e., the change in the time-period of the R state after hemoglobin is treated with a compound, as compared to the period without treatment with the compound). Delta R is the % R to remaining after the compounds treatment compared with no treatment (e.g. if R % without treatment is 8% while with treatment with a target compound is 48% R at 30 μM, then % R is 40% for that compound.
A mixture of HbS/A was purified from blood obtained from homozygous sickle cell patients though the Hemoglobinopathy Center at Children's Hospital Oakland Research Institute (CHORI) with Institutional Review Board approval. HbS/A (at a final concentration of 3 μM) was incubated for 1 hr at 37° C. in presence or absence of compounds in 50 μM potassium phosphate buffer, pH=7.4 and 30 μM 2, 3 diphosphoglycerate (DPG) in 96 well plates in a final volume of 160 μl. Compounds were added at different concentrations (3 μM to 100 μM final concentrations). Plates were covered with a Mylar film. After incubation was completed the Mylar cover was removed and the plates were placed in a Spectrostar Nano plate reader previously heated at 37° C. Five minutes later, N2 (flow rate=20 L/min) was flowed through the spectrophotometer. Spectroscopic measurements (300 nm to 700 nm) were taken every 5 min for 2 hours. Data analysis was performed by using linear regression from the data retrieved for all wavelengths.
Table 4 below lists the delta R values where + indicates a delta R of between 0 and 30, ++ indicates a delta R of between 30 and 50, and +++ indicates a delta R of 50 or greater. Unless noted otherwise, the compounds in Table 2 were tested at 30 μM.
Oxygen Equilibrium Curves (OEC) of whole blood before and after treatment with different concentrations of substituted benzaldehyde compounds were performed as follows using a HEMOX analyzer (TCS Scientific, New Hope, Pa.). Blood samples from homozygous sickle cell patients were obtained though the Hemoglobinopathy Center at Children's Hospital Oakland Research Institute (CHORI) with Institutional Review Board approval. The hematocrit was adjusted to 20% using autologous plasma and the blood samples were incubated for 1 hour at 37° C. in absence or presence of compounds. 100 μl of these samples were added to 5 mL of Hemox buffer (30 mM TES, 130 mM NaCl, 5 mM KCl, pH=7.4) at 37° C. and then transferred to the Hemox sample chamber. The samples were saturated with oxygen by flushing with compressed air for 10 minutes. The samples were then flushed with pure nitrogen and the respective absorbances of oxy- and deoxy-Hb are recorded as a function of the solution pO2. The oxygen equilibrium data were then fitted to the Hill Model to obtain values for p50. The deoxygenation curves for both whole blood alone (control) and whole blood in the presence of the compound were collected with the TCS software.
Table 5 below lists the delta p50% values where + indicates a delta p50% of between 0 and 29, ++ indicates a delta p50% of between 30 and 50, and +++ indicates a delta p50% of 50 or greater. Unless noted otherwise, the compounds in Table 2 were tested at 1000 μM. A positive delta p50 value corresponds to a left shifted curve and a lower p50 value relative to control, indicating that the compound acts to modulate HbS to increase its affinity for oxygen.
