Description

[Technical Field]

[0001] The present invention relates to novel hydroxamic acid derivatives as inhibitors of meprin beta and / or alpha, pharmaceutical compositions containing such compounds, methods for treating or preventing diseases or conditions, particularly those associated with meprin beta and / or alpha, and compounds and pharmaceutical compositions for use in such methods. [Background technology]

[0002] Meprin α and β are both zinc-dependent metalloproteases of the astacin and metzincin superfamilies. They exhibit similar domain structures, and the human enzymes share 45% sequence identity with each other. Meprin β is a type 1 transmembrane protein with extracellular protease activity, while meprin α is released during the secretory pathway and secreted into the extracellular space. Both enzymes are expressed as zymogens at high expression levels in kidney and intestinal epithelial cells, and their expression has been demonstrated in intestinal leukocytes, skin, and certain cancer cells.

[0003] Meprins exhibit distinct substrate specificity, preferring acidic amino acids at the P1' position (Becker-Pauly, C., Barre, O., Schilling, O., auf dem Keller, U., Ohler, A., Broder, C. et al. (2011), Mol. Cell Proteomics, doi: 10.1074 / mcp.M111.009233). Several in vitro substrates have been identified, including extracellular matrix proteins, peptide hormones, and cytokines. Known in vitro substrates of meprin beta include orcokinin, gastrin-17, peptide YY, kinetensin, osteopontin, interleukin-1 beta, APP, MUC2 mucin, and the cystic fibrosis transmembrane conductance regulator E-cadherin, while known in vitro substrates of meprin alpha include bombesin, neurotensin, substance P, angiotensin I, luteinizing hormone-releasing hormone, valosin, vasoactive intestinal peptide, bradykinin, alpha-melanocyte-stimulating hormone, MCP-1, and occludin. Known in vitro substrates of both meprin beta and alpha are, for example, gastrin-releasing peptide and cholecystokinin.

[0004] Although the function of meprins in vivo remains unclear, there is growing evidence for their role in collagen formation, inflammation, intestinal immune responses, and neurodegeneration.

[0005] Meprin β has been shown to act as a β-secretase of the amyloid precursor protein to form amyloid β (Aβ) peptides in vitro (Bien, Jessica, Jefferson, Tamara, Causevic, Mirsada, Jumpertz, Thorsten, Munter, Lisa, Multhaup, Gerd et al. (2012), The Journal of Biological Chemistry 287(40), pp. 33304-33313). Aβ peptides are abundant in the brains of patients with Alzheimer's disease and play a central role in the pathogenesis of this disease. This study demonstrated that, in contrast to BACE I, meprin β can form N-terminally truncated Aβ and thus may be involved in the generation of potentially more toxic species of Aβ. Therefore, meprin β is thought to be involved in the onset and / or progression of, for example, Alzheimer's disease.

[0006] Lack of meprin beta and alpha in mice, or the use of actinonin (a meprin inhibitor), has been shown to prevent kidney injury and cystitis (Bylander, John, Li, Qing, Ramesh, Ganesan, Zhang, Binzhi, Reeves, W. Brian, Bond, Judith S. (2008), American Journal of Physiology. Renal Physiology 294(3), pp. F480-F90; Yura, Renee E., Bradley, S. Gaylen, Ramesh, Ganesan, Reeves, W. Brian, Bond, Judith S. (2009), American Journal of Physiology. Renal Physiology 296(1), pp. F135-F44). Therefore, meprin beta and alpha are thought to be involved in the development and / or progression of, for example, nephritis, kidney injury, renal ischemic injury, ischemic acute tubular necrosis, acute renal failure, and cystitis.

[0007] Both enzymes have been demonstrated to be C- and N-procollagen proteinases and to induce collagen maturation and formation (Biasin, Valentina, Marsh, Leigh M., Egemnazarov, Bakytbek, Wilhelm, Jochen, Ghanim, Bahil, Klepetko, Walter, et al. (2014), The Journal of Pathology 233(1), pp. 7-17; Prox, Johannes, Arnold, Philipp, Becker-Pauly, Christoph (2015), Matrix Biology 44-46, pp. 7-13). Overexpression of the enzymes has been observed in these studies under fibrotic conditions (keloids, pulmonary hypertension). Therefore, meprin beta and alpha are thought to be involved in the development and / or progression of, for example, fibrosis and fibrotic conditions (keloids, pulmonary hypertension) and interstitial lung disease (ILD).

[0008] Meprin α is a susceptibility gene for IBD (Crohn's disease, ulcerative colitis), and its absence has been shown to increase chronic inflammation, whereas meprin β has proinflammatory activity, and its absence partially prevents damage (Banerjee, Sanjita, Jin, Ge, Bradley, S. Gaylen, Matters, Gail L., Gailey, Ryan D., Crisman, Jacqueline M., Bond, Judith S. (2011), Am. J. Physiol. Gastrointest. Liver Physiol. 300(2), pp. G273-82). Thus, meprin β and α are thought to be involved in the development and / or progression of, for example, chronic inflammation, Crohn's disease, ulcerative colitis, and inflammatory bowel disease (IBD).

[0009] Pro-angiogenic activity and non-polarized secretion have been described for meprin alpha, which increases the invasiveness of colorectal cancer (Lottaz, Daniel, Maurer, Christoph A., Noel, Agnes, Blacher, Silvia, Huguenin, Maya, Nievergelt, Alexandra et al. (2011), PloS one 6(11), e26450). Therefore, meprin alpha is thought to be involved in the development and / or progression of cancer, particularly colorectal cancer.

[0010] Several broad-spectrum metalloprotease and MMP inhibitors have been characterized for their inhibitory activity against meprin α and β (Broder, Claudia, Becker-Pauly, Christoph (2013). The Biochemical Journal 450, 253-264). While some compounds showed inhibition of meprin α, all either inhibited meprin β much less well (showing inhibition constants in the micromolar range) or lacked acceptable drug-like properties (Madoux F, Tredup C, Spicer TP, Scampavia L, Chase PS, Hodder PS, Fields GB, Becker-Pauly C, Minond D (2014). Biopolymers 102(5), 396-406). Broder C., Characterization of the metalloproteases meprin α and meprin β within the protease web (August 2013, PhD thesis, Kiel University Library, accession number urn:nbn:de:gbv:8-diss-146034, 29 pages, 53) discloses phosphine meprin β inhibitors (PMIs).

Alternatively, the compounds may be resolved using a chiral HPLC column.

[0050] Polymorphic crystal form: Furthermore, some of the crystalline forms of the compounds may exist as polymorphs and are therefore included in the present invention. In addition, some of the compounds may form solvates with water (i.e., hydrates) or common organic solvents, and such solvates are also included within the scope of the present invention.

[0056] All pharmaceutically acceptable acid addition salt forms of the compounds of the present invention are intended to be within the scope of this invention.

[0057] Prodrugs: The present invention further includes within its scope prodrugs of the compounds of the present invention. Typically, such prodrugs are functional derivatives of the compounds that are readily convertible in vivo into the desired therapeutically active compound. Thus, in these cases, in the treatment methods of the present invention, the term "administering" encompasses the treatment of the various disorders described with prodrug versions of one or more of the claimed compounds, where the prodrugs are converted in vivo into the above-identified compounds after administration to a subject. Conventional procedures for the selection and preparation of suitable prodrug derivatives are described, for example, in "Design of Prodrugs," edited by H. Bundgaard, Elsevier, 1985.

[0216] The purity of all reported compounds was determined by the percentage of peak area at 214 nm.

[0217] Mass spectrometry, NMR-spectroscopy: ESI-mass spectra were obtained on a SCIEX API 1200 spectrometer (Perkin Elmer) or expression CMS (Advion). 1 H NMR spectra were recorded on an Agilent DD2 400-MHz spectrometer. Chemical shifts (δ) are expressed as parts per million (ppm) downfield from tetramethylsilane. Splitting patterns are designated as follows: s (singlet), d (doublet), dd (double doublet), t (triplet), m (multiplet), and br (broad signal).

[0218] Enzyme assay Enzyme activity determination was based on the cleavage of an internally quenched peptide substrate. A typical assay was performed in a blank 96-well plate with a total volume of 250 μl, consisting of 100 μl buffer, 50 μl enzyme at a final concentration of 5e-8 M to 5e-9 M, 50 μl substrate (0.15 to 80 μM in buffer, 0.5% DMSO), and 50 μl inhibitor solution (1% DMSO in buffer). In the case of a 125 μl assay volume (black 96-half-area well plate), the total volume was divided in half. ADAM enzyme activity was measured in a 384-well plate with a total assay volume of 60 μl, consisting of 20 μl inhibitor, 20 μl buffer, 10 μl enzyme, and 10 μl substrate.

[0219] Ki values ​​were evaluated using four substrate concentrations (5–40 μM) in combination with at least five inhibitor concentrations. For IC50 values, the effect of 12 inhibitor concentrations ranging from 0 to 5e-5 M on enzyme activity was examined in the presence of one standard substrate concentration (10 μM). Initial velocities were determined and converted to concentration units by applying a standard curve obtained after fully converting different substrate concentrations under assay conditions. All measurements were performed using a fluorescence plate reader (FLUOstar OPTIMA, BMG Labtech) at 30°C. Kinetic parameters were determined at least twice on separate days. The excitation / emission wavelengths were 340 / 420 nm. Kinetic data were evaluated using GraFit software (version 7.0.3, Erithacus Software).

[0220] MMPs were activated and then measured by APMA (p-aminophenylmercuric acetate) treatment according to the manufacturer's instructions (R&D systems).
