Abstract
Description
[Technical Field]
[0001] The present invention relates to novel tricyclic dihydroimidazopyrimidinone compounds, processes for their preparation, and pharmaceutical compositions containing said compounds, as well as their use in the treatment of Lp-PLA2-mediated diseases. [Background technology]
[0002] Lipoprotein-associated phospholipase A2 (Lp-PLA2), also known as platelet-activating factor acetylhydrolase (PAF-AH), is a phospholipase A2 enzyme involved in the hydrolysis of lipoprotein lipids or phospholipids. Lp-PLA2 comigrates with low-density lipoproteins (LDL) and rapidly cleaves oxidized phosphatidylcholine molecules resulting from LDL oxidation. Lp-PLA2 hydrolyzes the sn-2 ester of oxidized phosphatidylcholine, generating the lipid mediator lysophosphatidylcholine (lyso-PC) and oxidized nonesterified fatty acids (NEFA). It has been reported that lyso-PC and NEFA can induce inflammatory responses, and thus Lp-PLA2 mediates oxidative inflammatory responses in vivo (Zalewski A et al., Arterioscler. Thromb. Vasc. Biol., 25, 5, 923-31 (2005)).

[0004] Scientific results further demonstrate that Lp-PLA2 inhibitors can be used to treat atherosclerosis. Wilensky et al. demonstrated the effects of Lp-PLA2 inhibitors on atherosclerotic plaque components in a pig model of diabetes and hypercholesterolemia, which is associated with accelerated coronary atherosclerosis (Wilensky et al., Nature Medicine, 10, 1015-1016 (2008)). Clinical trials have also found that Lp-PLA2 inhibitors can stabilize atherosclerotic plaques in patients with atherosclerotic plaques, thereby preventing further plaque development and rupture (Serruys et al., Circulation 118:1172-1182 (2008)).
[0005] Studies have shown that high Lp-PLA2 activity is associated with a higher risk of dementia, including Alzheimer's disease (AD) and mixed dementia (Van Oijen et al., Annals of Neurology, 59, 139 (2006); Fitzpatrick et al., Atherosclerosis, 235:384-391 (2014)). Elevated levels of oxidized LDL have been observed in AD patients (Kassner et al., Current Alzheimer Research, 5, 358-366 (2008); Dildar et al., Alzheimer Dis Assoc Disord, 24, April-June (2010); Sinem et al., Current Alzheimer Research, 7, 463-469 (2010)).
[0006] Furthermore, U.S. Patent Application Publication No. 2008 / 0279846 describes that Lp-PLA2 inhibitors reduce blood-brain barrier leakage and cerebral amyloid (Aβ) load, and can be used to treat diseases associated with blood-brain barrier leakage, such as Alzheimer's disease and vascular dementia. Clinical trials have shown that Lp-PLA2 inhibitors prevent further cognitive decline in Alzheimer's disease patients (Maher-Edwards et al., Alzheimer's & Dementia: Translational Research & Clinical Interventions 1, 131-140 (2015)).
[0007] Neuroinflammation, which involves the release of various cytotoxic cytokines, is a common feature of all neurodegenerative diseases, including multiple sclerosis, amyotrophic lateral sclerosis, Parkinson's disease, and Alzheimer's disease (Perry, Acta Neuropathol, 120, 277-286 (2010)). Lp-PLA2 inhibitors reduce the release of various cytokines by inhibiting lyso-PC production (Shi et al., Atherosclerosis 191, 54-62 (2007)). Therefore, inhibition of Lp-PLA2 is a potential treatment for neurodegenerative diseases, including multiple sclerosis, amyotrophic lateral sclerosis, and Parkinson's disease.
[0008] Lyso-PC is also involved in leukocyte activation, apoptosis induction, and endothelial cell dysfunction (Wilensky et al., Current Opinion in Lipidology, 20, 415-420, (2009)). Therefore, Lp-PLA2 inhibitors may be useful for treating diabetes-related tissue damage by reducing lyso-PC production. High Lp-PLA2 activity is associated with a high risk of developing diabetic retinopathy (Siddiqui et al., Diabetologia, 61, 1344-1353 (2018)). Lp-PLA2 inhibitors can inhibit the major pathological changes of retinopathy in a diabetic rat model (Canning et al., PNAS 113, 7213-7218 (2016)). Clinical trials have also shown that Lp-PLA2 inhibitors can improve retinal macular edema symptoms and visual acuity in patients with diabetic retinopathy (Staurenghi et al., Ophthalmology 122, 990-996 (2015)). These studies demonstrate that Lp-PLA2 inhibitors can be used in diabetic retinopathy.
[0009] Studies have shown that Lp-PLA2 activity is higher in diabetic patients than in normal individuals (Serban et al. J. Cell. Mol. Med. 6:643-647, (2002); Garg et al. Indian J. Med. Res. 141:107-114, (2015)). As mentioned above, Lp-PLA2 activity mediates the oxidative inflammatory response. It is anticipated that inhibition of Lp-PLA2 activity can be used to treat various complications caused by the oxidative inflammatory response in diabetic patients, such as diabetic nephropathy, diabetic peripheral neuropathy, and diabetic skin ulcers.
[0010] Glaucoma and age-related macular degeneration (AMD) are retinal neurodegenerative diseases. Inflammation plays an important role in the pathogenesis of glaucoma and AMD (Buschini et al., Progress in Neurobiology, 95, 14-25 (2011); Tezel, Progress in Brain Research, vol. 173, ISSN 0079-6123, Chapter 28). Therefore, Lp-PLA2 inhibitors may offer potential therapeutic applications for glaucoma and AMD.
[0011] In male erectile dysfunction patients, the in vivo activity of Lp-PLA2 was significantly higher than that of normal individuals, suggesting that high Lp-PLA2 activity can be used to predict early male erectile dysfunction (Otunctemur et al., Andrologia
[0012] 47:706-710(2015)). This suggests that Lp-PLA2 inhibitors may be useful for treating male erectile dysfunction.
[0013] High expression of Lp-PLA2 is present in prostate cancer tissues, and reducing Lp-PLA2 can reduce prostate cell carcinogenesis in vitro and promote apoptosis of prostate cancer cells (Vainio et al., Oncotarget, 2:1176-1190 (2011)). This suggests that Lp-PLA2 inhibitors can be used to treat prostate cancer.
[0014] However, there is still a strong need in the prior art for novel Lp-PLA2 inhibitors.
[0015] An object of the present invention is to provide a pyrimidone compound that can be used as an Lp-PLA2 inhibitor and a pharmaceutical composition thereof.

[0468] Lipoprotein-associated phospholipase A2 (Lp-PLA2) human plasma assay This human plasma assay utilizes a thioester analog of PAF (phosphatidylcholine), which upon hydrolysis forms phospholipids containing free sulfhydryl groups. The amount of sulfhydryl groups is subsequently determined by reaction with CPM (7-diethylamino-3-(4'-maleimidophenyl)-4-methylcoumarin), a maleimide whose fluorescence increases after Michael addition of the sulfhydryl groups. This assay can detect Lp-PLA2 activity in human plasma, as determined by specific inhibition of Lp-PLA2 inhibitors.
[0469] The Thio-PAF assay was performed as a quenched 75 μL assay. A compound source plate was prepared for each compound by preparing a 1:3 (volume ratio) serial dilution in pure DMSO in a 96-well microplate. Compounds in the compound source plate were diluted 20-fold by transferring 3 μL of compound from the compound source plate with a Rainin multichannel pipette to a 96-well microplate pre-filled with 57 μL of assay buffer. The assay buffer consisted of 50 mM HEPES pH 7.4, 150 mM NaCl, and 1 mM CHAPS. 1 μL of the 20-fold diluted compound was transferred with a Rainin multichannel pipette to a 96-well Greiner 655076 (black) microplate pre-filled with 40 μL of aliquots and thawed pooled human plasma. The plate was shaken for 20 seconds on a microplate shaker to mix thoroughly. After a 30-minute preincubation at room temperature, 10 μL of substrate solution containing 2.5 mM 2-thio-PAF (from ethanol stock), 32 μM CPM (from DMSO stock), and 3.2 mM NEM (N-ethylmaleimide) (prepared fresh in DMSO for each experiment) in assay buffer consisting of 50 mM HEPES pH 7.4; 150 mM NaCl; and 1 mM CHAPS was added to a 96-well Greiner 655076 (black) microplate using a Rainin multichannel pipette. After 2 minutes, the reaction was quenched with 25 μL of 5% aqueous trifluoroacetic acid (TFA). The plate was centrifuged at 2000 rpm for 1 minute. The plate was read using a Biotek Synergy H1 (H1MF) microplate reader at excitation: 380 / emission: 485. IC 50 Data, curve, and QC analysis was performed using GraphPad Prism 6.0 and Excel.
