Description

Novel B0AT1 inhibitors

[0001] The present invention relates to novel cinnamic acid glycinamide compounds that have an inhibitory effect on the neutral amino acid transporter B0AT1 and are useful for the prevention and / or treatment of amino acid metabolism disorders involving B0AT1.

[0002] The gene responsible for Hartnup disease, SLC6A19, is located at 5p15.33 and consists of 12 exons. Its gene product, the neutral amino acid transporter B0AT1, consists of 634 amino acids and has 12 transmembrane domains (Non-Patent Documents 1 and 2). B0AT1 is the primary transporter of neutral amino acids in the small intestine and kidney, responsible for the absorption of glycine, leucine, phenylalanine, and other amino acids in the small intestine and their reabsorption in the kidney (Non-Patent Documents 3-5). B0AT1 knockout mice are known to exhibit elevated urinary amino acid levels (Non-Patent Document 6), and clinically, B0AT1 dysfunction results in severe neutral amino aciduria, also known as Hartnup disease (Non-Patent Document 7). Therefore, it has been suggested that inhibiting B0AT1 may improve (alleviate) various diseases or pathologies involving neutral amino acids as transport substrates.

[0003] Furthermore, specific examples of the therapeutic effects of inhibiting the function of B0AT1 have also been reported, such as the improvement of the pathological condition of a phenylketonuria model mouse by congenitally deleting B0AT1 or by administering a nucleic acid compound that binds to mRNA to subsequently suppress its expression (Non-Patent Document 4).

[0004] In light of this background, compounds that inhibit B0AT1 have attracted attention as pharmaceuticals for preventing and / or treating various diseases or pathological conditions involving neutral amino acids, which are transport substrates, specifically amino acid metabolism disorders.

[0005] Examples of amino acid metabolism disorders include designated intractable diseases such as phenylketonuria, hypertyrosinemia (type 1-3), hypermethioninemia, maple syrup urine disease, homocystinuria, nonketotic hyperglycinemia, propionic acidemia, methylmalonic acidemia, and isovaleric acidemia, and continuous dietary therapy is the main known treatment for these disorders. Other than dietary therapy, known treatments include administering drugs that increase coenzymes or enzymes, and injecting enzymes, but neither of these is a fundamental treatment (e.g., Non-Patent Document 8, etc.).

[0006] Therefore, there is a need for the development of drugs for preventing and / or treating diseases, specifically amino acid metabolism disorders, whose symptoms can be alleviated by normalizing neutral amino acid metabolism through the inhibition of B0AT1.

[0007] Known compounds having B0AT1 inhibitory activity include, for example, nucleic acids having a sequence partially or completely identical to that of B0AT1 RNA (Non-Patent Document 4), the commercially available product nimesulide and its derivatives (Non-Patent Documents 9 and 10), the known compound cinromide (Non-Patent Document 11), and basic compounds discovered by library screening (Non-Patent Documents 12 and 13). However, it has not been reported that the cinnamic acid glycine amide compound according to the present invention exhibits B0AT1 inhibitory activity.

[0009] An objective of the present invention is to provide a pharmaceutical agent that exhibits excellent B0AT1 inhibitory activity and can prevent and / or treat diseases, specifically amino acid metabolism disorders, whose symptoms can be alleviated by said activity.

[0602] Test Example 1: hB0AT1 Inhibition Test

[0603] Experimental Method: Test compounds dissolved in dimethyl sulfoxide (DMSO) were added at 0.5 μl per well to a 96-well plate for solid-phase radioactivity measurement containing a scintillator in the bottom of the wells. DMSO alone was added as a control, and DMSO containing N-(4-bromophenyl)-3,5-dichloro-2-hydroxybenzamide (final concentration 10 μM) was added at 0.5 μl per well to measure nonspecific B0AT1 uptake. Human B0AT1-stably expressing CHO cells suspended in buffer (96 mM sodium chloride, 2 mM potassium chloride, 1.8 mM calcium chloride, 1 mM magnesium chloride, 0.01% bovine serum albumin, 10 mM 2-[4-(2-hydroxyethyl)-1-piperazinyl]ethanesulfonic acid, pH 7.0) were added at 90 μl to a concentration of 75,000 cells per well. After leaving the plates at room temperature for 30 minutes or more, the plates were subjected to a phenylalanine uptake experiment. 10 μl of a buffer solution containing L-phenylalanine and [3,4,5-3H]-L-phenylalanine was added per well (final concentration of phenylalanine: 0.25 mM). Radioactivity on the bottom of the plate at room temperature was measured over time using a scintillation counter, and the radioactivity values ​​after 100-200 minutes were analyzed. The results were calculated by subtracting non-specific B0AT1 uptake from the control uptake, which was set to 100%, and the concentration of each test compound at which it was inhibited by 50% (IC 50 The values ​​were calculated by nonlinear regression using a logistic model.

The test compound was weighed, and 200 μl of 0.5% carboxymethylcellulose sodium salt (Sigma-Aldrich) and saline solution (for intraperitoneal administration) or aqueous solution (for oral administration) was added. The compound was then ground and suspended using a mixer mill (Retsch) to the optimal concentration. The suspension was then sonicated for 10 minutes using an ultrasonic homogenizer (Nihonsei). The administration solution was prepared on the day of administration of the test compound. L-phenylalanine (Sigma-Aldrich) was dissolved in saline (Otsuka Saline Injection, Otsuka Pharmaceutical Factory) using sonication to prepare a 25 mg / ml solution. The administration solution was prepared on the day of phenylalanine administration.

[0616] (2) Compound Administration and Urine Sample Collection. Male C57BL / 6J (Charles River Japan, Inc.) weighing 20-30 g (8-11 weeks old) were used as test animals. They were group-housed in PC cages until two days before the test. Two days before the test, the animals were confirmed to be in good general condition. After weighing, the animals were individually housed in stainless steel metabolic cages for mice (Shinano Seisakusho Co., Ltd.) with free access to tap water and food. On the morning of the test compound administration, the animals were weighed, and the grouping program GPR3 ​​ver. 3.0.2 was used to assign the animals to groups using a simulation method to ensure that the weights on the test day and the weight changes from two days before the test were uniform across groups. Test compounds were administered intraperitoneally or orally and housed in clean metabolic cages. Thirty minutes after test compound administration, phenylalanine was administered intraperitoneally at 500 mg / 20 ml / kg. Urine was collected 4 hours, 6 hours, or 24 hours after administration of the test compound, and the urine weight was measured. When collecting urine 4 hours and 6 hours after administration, the mice were restrained and allowed to void urine from the bladder. The urine was separated from impurities by centrifugation, and the supernatant was collected. Glucose, occult blood, and leukocyte counts were measured using LifeSticks urine test strips (Siemens Healthcare Diagnostics). The collected urine was stored at -20°C or below and used to measure phenylalanine concentrations.

[0617] (3) Measurement of urinary phenylalanine by LC-MS / MS 190 μl of IS solution (d5-phenylalanine dissolved in acetonitrile / methanol = 7 / 3 at a concentration of 1 μg / ml) was added to 10 μl of urine sample and mixed, and then centrifuged. 3 μl of the supernatant was analyzed by LC-MS / MS. As a calibration standard, 10 μl of a standard solution containing IS solution and 180 μl of IS solution were added to 10 μl of physiological saline and mixed. After centrifugation, 3 μl of the supernatant was analyzed by LC-MS / MS under the following conditions. <Measurement conditions> MS: Quattro Premier XE LC: ACQUITY UPLC Column: ACQUITY UPLC HSS C18 Column, 100 Å, 1.8 μm, 2.1 mm × 100 mm Mobile phase A: 0.025% heptafluorobutyric acid aqueous solution Mobile phase B: acetonitrile Gradient (B%): 2-2-98-98-2 (0.00-0.50-3.50-4.25-5.00 min) Column temperature: 50°C Flow rate: 0.40 ml / min

[0618] As shown in Tables 13-1 to 13-8, compound (I) of the present invention or a salt thereof was confirmed to have excellent inhibitory activity against B0AT1. The above results suggest that compound (I) of the present invention or a salt thereof exhibits preventive and / or therapeutic effects against amino acid metabolism disorders such as phenylketonuria, hypertyrosinemia (type 1-3), hypermethioninemia, maple syrup urine disease, homocystinuria, nonketotic hyperglycinemia, propionic acidemia, methylmalonic acidemia, and isovaleric acidemia.

[0619] Since compound (I) of the present invention or a pharmaceutically acceptable salt thereof has excellent inhibitory activity against B0AT1, a pharmaceutical composition containing the same can be used for the treatment and / or prevention of diseases whose symptoms can be alleviated by B0AT1 inhibitory action, specifically, for example, amino acid metabolism disorders such as phenylketonuria, hypertyrosinemia (type 1-3), hypermethioninemia, maple syrup urine disease, homocystinuria, nonketotic hyperglycinemia, propionic acidemia, methylmalonic acidemia, isovaleric acidemia, etc. These amino acid metabolism disorders are designated intractable diseases that require long-term treatment, such as lifelong, very strict dietary therapy (amino acid-restricted diet), and therefore compound (I) of the present invention or a pharmaceutically acceptable salt thereof can provide a novel and effective preventive and / or therapeutic agent.
