Definitions

  • the present invention relates to derivatives of 2,5- and 3,5-disubstituted anilines, to methods for their preparation, to compositions comprising these compounds, to the use of these compounds as medicaments and their use in therapy e.g. in the treatment of diseases of the central nervous system, the cardiovascular system, the pulmonary system, the urogenital system, the gastrointestinal system and the endocrinological system.
  • Potassium channels play an important role in the physiological and pharmacological control of cellular membrane potential.
  • the different types of potassium channels are the ATP-sensitive (K ATP -) channels which are regulated by changes in the intracellular concentration of adenosine triphosphate.
  • the K ATP -channels have been found in cells from various tissues such as cardiac cells, pancreatic cells, skeletal muscles, smooth muscles, central neurones and adenohypophysis cells.
  • the channels have been associated with diverse cellular functions, as for example hormone secretion (insulin from pancreatic beta- cells, growth hormone and prolactin from adenohypophysis cells), vasodilation (in smooth muscle cells), cardiac action potential duration and neurotransmitter release in the central nervous system.
  • Modulators of the K ATP -channels have been found to be of importance for the treatment of various diseases.
  • Certain sulfonylureas which have been used for the treatment of non- insulin-dependent diabetes mellitus act by stimulating insulin release through an inhibition of the K ATP -channels on pancreatic beta-cells.
  • potassium channel openers which comprise a heterogeneous group of compounds, have been found to be able to relax vascular smooth muscles and have therefore been used for the treatment of hypertension.
  • potassium channel openers can be used as bronchodilators in the treatment of asthma and various other diseases.
  • potassium channel openers have been shown to promote hair growth, and have been used for the treatment of baldness.
  • Potassium channel openers are also able to relax urinary bladder smooth muscle and can therefore be used for the treatment of urinary incontinence. Potassium channel openers which relax smooth muscle of the uterus can be used for treatment of premature labour.
  • the compounds of the present invention can be used for the treatment of vasospastic disorders such as subarachnoid haemorrhage and migraine.
  • Potassium channel openers hyperpolarize neurons and inhibit neurotransmitter release, and therefore the present compounds may be useful for the treatment of various diseases of the central nervous system, e.g. epilepsia, ischemia and neurodegenerative diseases, and for the treatment of pain.

Description

Derivatives of 2.5- and 3.5-disubstituted anilines, their Preparation and Use
FIELD OF THE INVENTION
The present invention relates to derivatives of 2,5- and 3,5-disubstituted anilines, to methods for their preparation, to compositions comprising these compounds, to the use of these compounds as medicaments and their use in therapy e.g. in the treatment of diseases of the central nervous system, the cardiovascular system, the pulmonary system, the urogenital system, the gastrointestinal system and the endocrinological system.
BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION
Potassium channels play an important role in the physiological and pharmacological control of cellular membrane potential. Amongst the different types of potassium channels are the ATP-sensitive (KATP-) channels which are regulated by changes in the intracellular concentration of adenosine triphosphate. The KATP-channels have been found in cells from various tissues such as cardiac cells, pancreatic cells, skeletal muscles, smooth muscles, central neurones and adenohypophysis cells. The channels have been associated with diverse cellular functions, as for example hormone secretion (insulin from pancreatic beta- cells, growth hormone and prolactin from adenohypophysis cells), vasodilation (in smooth muscle cells), cardiac action potential duration and neurotransmitter release in the central nervous system.
Modulators of the KATP-channels have been found to be of importance for the treatment of various diseases. Certain sulfonylureas which have been used for the treatment of non- insulin-dependent diabetes mellitus act by stimulating insulin release through an inhibition of the KATP -channels on pancreatic beta-cells.
The potassium channel openers, which comprise a heterogeneous group of compounds, have been found to be able to relax vascular smooth muscles and have therefore been used for the treatment of hypertension. In addition, potassium channel openers can be used as bronchodilators in the treatment of asthma and various other diseases.
Furthermore, potassium channel openers have been shown to promote hair growth, and have been used for the treatment of baldness.
Potassium channel openers are also able to relax urinary bladder smooth muscle and can therefore be used for the treatment of urinary incontinence. Potassium channel openers which relax smooth muscle of the uterus can be used for treatment of premature labour.
Since some KATP-openers are able to antagonize vasospasms in basilar or cerebral arteries the compounds of the present invention can be used for the treatment of vasospastic disorders such as subarachnoid haemorrhage and migraine.
Potassium channel openers hyperpolarize neurons and inhibit neurotransmitter release, and therefore the present compounds may be useful for the treatment of various diseases of the central nervous system, e.g. epilepsia, ischemia and neurodegenerative diseases, and for the treatment of pain.
Recently it has been shown that diazoxide (7-chloro-3-methyl-2H-1 ,2,4-benzothiadiazine 1 ,1- dioxide) and certain 3-(alkylamino)-4H-pyrido[4,3-e]-1 ,2,4-thiadiazine 1 ,1-dioxide derivatives inhibit insulin release by an activation of KATP-channels on pancreatic beta-cells (Pirotte B. et al., Biochem. Pharmacol. 1994, 47, 1381-1386; Pirotte B. et al., J. Med. Chem. 1993, 36, 3211-3213. Diazoxide has furthermore been shown to delay the onset of diabetes in BB-rats ( Vlahos W.D. et al., Metabolism 1991 , 40, 39-46. In obese Zucker rats diazoxide has been shown to decrease insulin secretion and increase insulin receptor binding and consequently improve glucose tolerance and decrease weight gain (Alemzadeh R. et al., Endocrinol. 1993, 133, 705-712). It is expected that such potassium channel openers can be used for treatment of diseases characterized by an overproduction of insulin and for the treatment and prevention of diabetes.
Derivatives of 3,5-bis(trifluoromethyl)aniline, 3,5-dichloroaniline, 2,5- bis(trifluoromethyl)aniline and other, similarly substituted anilines have been previously claimed as crop protecting agents, antibacterials, anti-snails and for other uses, but not as potassium channel openers:

PHARMACOLOGICAL METHODS
The ability of the compounds to interact with potassium channels can be determined by various methods. When patch-clamp techniques (Hamill O.P., Marty A., Nefer E., Sakman B. and Sigworth F.J., Plϋgers Arch. 1981, 391, 85-100) are used the ionic current through a single channel of a cell can be recorded.
The activity of the compounds as potassium channel openers can also be measured as relaxation of rat aorta rings according to the following procedure:
A section of rat thoracic aorta between the aortic arch and the diaphragm was dissected out and mounted as ring preparations as described by Taylor P.D. et al., Brit. J. Pharmacol. 1994, 111, 42-48.
After a 45 min equilibration period under a tension of 2 g, the preparations were contracted to achieve 80% of the maximum response using the required concentration of phenylephrine. When the phenylephrine response reached a plateau, potential vasodilatory agents were added cumulatively to the bath in small volumes using half log molar increments at 2 min intervals. Relaxation was expressed at the percentage of the contracted tension. The potency of a compound was expressed as the concentration required to evoke a 50% relaxation of the tissue.
In the pancreatic beta-cell the opening of the KATP-channels can be determined by measuring the subsequent change in the concentration of cytoplasmic free Ca2+ concentration according to the method of Arkhammar et al., J. Biol. Chem. 1987, 262, 5448-5454.
-Rb+ efflux from a beta-cell line
The RIN 5F cell line was grown in RPMI 1640 with Glutamax I, supplemented with 10% fetal calf serum (from GibcoBRL, Scotland, UK) and maintained in an atmosphere of 5% C02/ 95% air at 37 °C. The cells were detached with a Trypsin-EDTA solution (from GibcoBRL, Scotland, UK), resuspended in medium, added 1 mCi/mL 86Rb+ and replated into microtiter plates (96 well cluster 3596, sterile, from Costar Corporation, MA, USA) at a density of 50000 cells/well in 100 μl/well, and grown 24 hours before use in assay.
The plates were washed four times with Ringer buffer (150 mM NaCI, 10 mM Hepes, 3.0 mM KCI, 1.0 mM CaCI2, 20 mM sucrose, pH 7.1 ). 80 μL Ringer buffer and 1 μL control- or test compound dissolved in DMSO were added. After incubation for 1 h at room temperature with a lid, 50 μL of the supernatant was transferred to PicoPlates (Packard Instrument Company, CT, USA) and 100 μL MicroScint40 (Packard Instrument Company, CT, USA) was added. The plates were counted in TopCount (Packard Instrument Company, CT, USA) for 1 min/well at the 32P program.
The calculation of EC50 and Emax was done by SlideWrite (Advanced Graphics Software, Inc., CA, USA) using a four parameter logistic curve: y = (a-d)/(1+(x/c)b)+d, where a = the activity estimated at concentration zero, b = a slope factor, c = the concentration at the middle of the curve and, d = the activity estimated at infinite concentration. EC50 = c and Emax= d, when the curve is turned off at infinite concentrations. The compounds according to the invention are effective over a wide dose range. In general satisfactory results are obtained with dosages from about 0.05 mg to about 1000 mg, preferably from about 0.1 mg to about 500 mg, per day. A most preferable dosage is about 5 mg to about 200 mg per day. The exact dosage will depend upon the mode of administra- tion, form in which administered, the subject to be treated and the body weight of the subject to be treated, and the preference and experience of the physician or veterinarian in charge.
The route of administration may be any route, which effectively transports the active compound to the appropriate or desired site of action, such as oral or parenteral e.g. rectal, transdermal, subcutaneous, intravenous, intramuscular or intranasal, the oral route being preferred.
Typical compositions include a compound of formula I or a pharmaceutically acceptable salt thereof, associated with a pharmaceutically acceptable excipient which may be a carrier or a diluent or be diluted by a carrier, or enclosed within a carrier which can be in form of a capsule, sachet, paper or other container. In making the compositions, conventional techniques for the preparation of pharmaceutical compositions may be used. For example, the active compound will usually be mixed with a carrier, or diluted by a carrier, or enclosed within a carrier which may be in the form of a ampoule, capsule, sachet, paper, or other container. When the carrier serves as a diluent, it may be solid, semi-solid, or liquid material which acts as a vehicle, excipient, or medium for the active compound. The active compound can be adsorbed on a granular solid container for example in a sachet. Some examples of suitable carriers are water, salt solutions, alcohols, polyethylene glycols, polyhydroxyethoxylated castor oil, gelatine, lactose, amylose, magnesium stearate, talc, silicic acid, fatty acid monoglycerides and diglycerides, pentaerythritol fatty acid esters, hydroxymethylcellulose and polyvinylpyrrolidone. The formulations may also include wetting agents, emulsifying and suspending agents, preserving agents, sweetening agents or flavouring agents. The formulations of the invention may be formulated so as to provide quick, sustained, or delayed release of the active ingredient after administration to the patient by employing procedures well known in the art.
The pharmaceutical preparations can be sterilized and mixed, if desired, with auxiliary agents, emulsifiers, salt for influencing osmotic pressure, buffers and/or colouring substances and the like, which do not deleteriously react with the active compounds. For parenteral application, particularly suitable are injectable solutions or suspensions, preferably aqueous solutions with the active compound dissolved in polyhydroxylated castor oil.
Tablets, dragees, or capsules having talc and/or a carbohydrate carrier or binder or the like are particularly suitable for oral application. Preferable carriers for tablets, dragees, or capsules include lactose, corn starch, and/or potato starch. A syrup or elixir can be used in cases where a sweetened vehicle can be employed.
A typical tablet, appropriate for use in this method, may be prepared by conventional tabletting techniques and contains:
Active compound 5.0 mg Lactosum 67.8 mg Ph.Eur.
Avicel® 31.4 mg
Amberlite® 1.0 mg
Magnesii stearas 0.25 mg Ph.Eur.
Due to their high degree of activity, the compounds of the invention may be administered to a mammal, especially a human, in need of such treatment, prevention, elimination, alleviation or amelioration of various diseases as mentioned above and especially of diseases of the endocrinological system such as hyperinsulinaemia and diabetes.
The results obtained from screening of the compounds of the present invention show, that some of these are potent potassium channel openers. The most active compounds of this invention show an IC50 of 600 nM.

Example 4. General synthetic pathway to 1-aryl-3-alkylthioureas
A solution of the appropriately substituted aniline (8 mmol) and thiocarbonyidiimidazole (1.43 g ; 8 mmol) in dioxane (30 mL) was heated at 50°C for 48-72 h (until disappearance of the aniline from the reaction mixture monitored by TLC). The appropriate alkylamine (or cycloal- kylalkylamine) (8 mmol) was added to the reaction medium and the resulting solution was heated at 60°C for 4-12 h. The solvent was removed by distillation under reduced pressure and the residue was dissolved in ethyl acetate (50 mL). The organic layer was washed with 4N HCI (50 mL), then with water (50 mL). The organic layer was dried over anhydrous MgS04, filtered, and the filtrate was concentrated to dryness. The residue was dissolved in a small volume of ethanol (5-10 mL). The solution was supplemented with 2N HCI (100 mL) and the resulting precipitate was collected by filtration, washed with water and dried (yields : 20-60%).
