Description

Imidazole derivatives

[0001] The present invention relates to imidazole derivatives and their medical uses.

[0002] Epinephrine and norepinephrine are neurotransmitters collectively known as catecholamines. They are secreted primarily from the adrenal medulla and sympathetic nerve endings and are involved in sympathetic nerve signal transmission. The adrenergic receptors involved in these actions are broadly classified into α-receptors and β-receptors, with α-receptors having two subtypes, α1 and α2. Of these, α1-receptors are further subdivided into three subtypes: α1A-receptors, α1B-receptors, and α1D-receptors, all of which are involved in smooth muscle contraction. It has been reported that activation of α1A-receptors significantly contributes to an increase in blood pressure (Non-Patent Documents 1 and 2).

[0003] Because α1 receptor activation causes vascular smooth muscle contraction, α1 receptor agonists are used clinically as hypertensive drugs. Currently, midodrine, etilefrine, phenylephrine, etc. are known as α1 receptor agonists in clinical use, but the variety is limited.

[0004] N-((1H-imidazol-4-yl)methyl)-2-(oxazol-5-yl)aniline and 5-(2-((1H-imidazol-4-yl)methoxy)phenyl)isoxazole (Non-Patent Document 3) have been reported as α1 receptor agonists. These compounds have α1A agonist activity, but are structurally different from the compounds of the present invention, which do not have an oxazole ring or isoxazole ring in the biaryl structure.

[0006] Because activation of α1A receptors plays an important role in increasing blood pressure, an objective of the present invention is to provide novel compounds that exhibit strong agonistic activity at α1A receptors and can be used as hypertensive drugs, i.e., compounds that can be used as effective therapeutic or preventive drugs for orthostatic hypotension, essential hypotension, acute hypotension associated with various diseases or conditions, and urinary incontinence, based on α1A receptor activation.

Cells were detached using 0.05% trypsin-EDTA solution and suspended at 500,000 cells / mL in assay buffer (1.15 mol / L NaCl, 0.054 mol / L KCl, 1.8 mmol / L CaCl2, 1 mmol / L MgSO4, 0.11 mol / L glucose, 0.01 mol / L NaH2PO4·2H2O, 0.25 mol / L HEPES, pH 7.3). Test compounds were dissolved in dimethyl sulfoxide and diluted in assay buffer containing 0.3% BSA. The final concentrations of the test compounds were set to a range of 0.1 nmol / L to 10 μmol / L. The reference compound, norepinephrine, was set to a range of 0.01 nmol / L to 100 μmol / L. 40 μL of the cell suspension was dispensed onto a 384-well clear-bottom black plate (Corning) coated with poly-D-lysine (20,000 cells / well) and allowed to stand for 10 minutes. The plate was then transferred to a fluorescence imaging plate reader (FDSS7000, Hamamatsu Photonics) and measurements were initiated. One minute after the start of measurements, 20 μL of test compound solution or norepinephrine solution (total volume: 60 μL / well) was added to each well (final concentrations: 0.1% BSA, 0.1% dimethyl sulfoxide). Fluo-4 fluorescence intensity was then monitored over time for an additional 5 minutes (Ex 480 nm / Em 540 nm).

The normalized value (% Activation) was used for subsequent analysis. Emax value and EC 50 The concentration-response curve of the test compound was created using 4-parameter logistic regression using XLFit, and the Emax value was the % Activation, EC 50 The values ​​were calculated as the concentration showing 50% of the Emax value. The results are shown in Table 20.
