Description

NEW COMPOUNDS AND COMPOSITIONS AS PROTEASE INHIBITORS This application relates to compounds and compositions for treating diseases associated with the activity of cysteine protease, particularly diseases associated with the activity of cathepsins B, K, L or S. FIELD DESCRIPTION Cysteine proteases represent a class of peptidases characterized by the presence of a cysteine residue in the catalytic site of the enzyme. Cysteine proteases are associated with the normal degradation and processing of proteins. However, the aberrant activity of the cysteine proteases, e.g., as a result of increasing expression or enhanced activation, can have pathological consequences. In this regard, certain cysteine proteases are associated with several disease states, including arthritis, muscular dystrophy, inflammation, tumor invasion, glomerulonephritis, malaria, periodontal disease, metachromatic leukodystrophy and others. For example, increased levels of cathepsin B and redistribution of the enzyme are found in tumors; thus, they suggest a role for the enzyme in tumor invasion and metastasis. In addition, the aberrant activity of cathepsin B is implicated in such disease states as rheumatoid arthritis, osteo arthritis, pneu.r? Ocys is carinii, acute pancreatitis, inflammatory airway disease and bone and joint disorders. The prominent expression of cathepsin K in osteoclasts and multinucleated cells related to osteoclasts and its high collagenolytic activity suggests that the enzyme is involved in bone resorption mediated by osteoclasts and, consequently, in bone abnormalities such as occurs in osteoporosis . In addition, the expression of cathepsin K in the lung and its elastinolytic activity also suggests that the enzyme plays a role in lung disorders. Cathepsin L is involved in normal lysosomal proteolysis as well as various disease states, including, but not limited to, melanoma metastases. Cathepsin S is implicated in Alzheimer's disease and certain autoimmune disorders, including but not limited to juvenile diabetes, multiple sclerosis, pemphigus vulgaris, Graves disease, myasthenia gravis, systemic lupus erythematosus, rheumatoid arthritis, and Hashimoto thyroiditis. allergic, including, but not limited to asthma; and allogeneic immune responses, including, but not limited to, rejection of organ transplants or tissue grafts.
In view of the number of diseases where it is recognized that an increase in the activity of the cysteine protease contributes to the pathology and / or symptomatology of the disease, the molecules that are shown to inhibit the activity of this class of enzymes, in particular the molecules that are inhibitors of cathepsins B, K, L and / or S, will be useful as therapeutic agents SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION In a particular embodiment, the present invention relates to the compounds of Formula (I): (I) in which R1 is a group of Formula (a) or (b) (a) (b) wherein X1 and X2 are independently -C (O) - or -CH2S (0) 2-; R5 and R6 are hydrogen or alkyl (C? .6); R7 and R8 are hydrogen or alkyl (C? _6) or as defined below; R9 and R10 are independently (i) (C6-6) alkyl optionally substituted with cyano, halo or nitro or (ii) a group selected from -X3NR12R12 '-X3NRI2C (O) OR12, - X3NR12C (0) NR12R12, - X3NR12C (NR12) NR12R12, -X3OR12, -X3SR12, X3C (0) OR12, -X3C (0) NR12R12, -X3S (O) 2NR12R12, -X3P (0) (OR12) OR12, -X3OP (0) (OR12) OR12, -X3NR12C (0) R13, -X3S ( 0) R13, -X3S (0) 2R13, X3C (0) R13, -X3C (0) R14, -X3C (0) OR14, -X3OC (0) R14, -X3NR15C (O) R14, - X3NR15C (0) OR14, -X3C (0) NR14R15, -X3S (O) 2NR14R15, -X3NR15C (O) NR14R15, -X3NR15C (NRI5) NR14R15, -X4SR14 -X4S (0) R14 -X4S (0) 2R14, -X4OR14, or -XNR14R15, wherein X3 is alkylene (C? -6), X4 is a bond or alkylene (dA, R12 in each occurrence is independently hydrogen, alkyl (C? _6) or halo-substituted alkyl (C? _3), R13 is (C? -6) alkyl or halo (substituted? -C3) alkyl, R14 is (C3-12) cycloalkyl (C0-) alkyl 6., (C3_2) heterocycloalkyl (Co-e), aryl (C6-? 2) alkyl (CoA, heteroaryl (C5.? 2) (C0-ß) alkyl, polycycloaryl (C9-? 2) alkyl ( C0-6 or heteropolycycloaryl (C8-? 2) alkyl (Co-e) and R15 is hydrogen or alkyl (Ci-g) and wherein within R14 said cycloalkyl, heterocycloalkyl, aryl, heteroaryl, polycycloaryl or heteropolycycloaryl ring is optionally replaces by a selected group of R16, -X4OR16, -X4SR16, -X4S (0) R16, -X4S (0) 2R16, -X4C (0) R16, -X4C (0) OR16, -X4OC (0) R? e , -X4NR16R17, -X4NR17C (0) R16, -X4NR17C (O) OR16, -X4C (O) NR16R17, XS (0) 2NR16R17, -XNR17C (O) NR16R17 or -X4NR17C (NR17) NR16R17, wherein X4 is a bond or alkylene (C? _6), R16 is hydrogen or alkyl (C? -6) and R17 is (C3-y2) cycloalkyl (C0_s) alkyl, (C3-? 2) heterocycle (C0-β) alkyl / aryl C6-? 2) (C0-6) alkyl, heteroaryl (C5-? 2) ) alkyl (Co-β). polycycloaryl (C9-? 2) alkyl (CoA or heteropolycycloaryl (C8-? 2) alkyl (Co-β) or (iii) a group selected from (C3-12) cycloalkyl (C0-6) alkyl (C3-6 heterocycloalkyl) -i2) (C0-6) alkyl, aryl (C6-? 2) (C0-6) alkyl, heteroaryl (C5-? 2) (C0-6) alkyl / polycycloaryl (C9-? 2) alkyl (CoA and heteropolycycloaryl) (C8-? 2) alkyl (Co-e), wherein said cycloalkyl, heterocycloalkyl, aryl, heteroaryl, polycycloaryl or heteropolycycloaryl ring is optionally substituted by a group selected from R16, X4OR16, -X4SR16, -X4S (0) R16, -X4S (0) 2R16, -X4C (0) Rld, -X4C (0) OR16, -X4OC (0) R16, -X4NR16R17, -X4NR17C (0) R16, -X4NR17C (O) OR16, XC (0) ) NR16R17, -X4S (0) 2NR16R17, -X4NR17C (O) NR16R17 or X4NR17C (NR17) NR16R17, wherein X4, R16 and R17 are as defined above; wherein within R9 and / or R10 any present system of alicyclic or aromatic ring present can be further substituted by 1 to 5 radicals independently selected from alkyl (C? -6), alkylidene (C? _6), cyano, halo, alkyl (C? _4) halo-substituted, nitro, -X4NR12R12, X4NR12C (0) OR12, -X4NR12C (0) NR12R12, -X4NR12C (NR12) NR12R12, -X4OR12, -X4SR12, -X4C (0) OR12, -X4C ( O) NR1 R12, -X4S (O) 2NR1 R12, X4P (0) (OR4) OR12, -X4OP (0) (OR12) OR12, -X4OC (0) R13, -X4NR12C (O) R13, -XS (0 ) R13, -X4S (0) 2R13 and -X4C (0) R13, wherein X4, R12 and R13 are as defined above or R9 taken together with R7 and / or R10 taken together with R8 form trimethylene, tetramethylene or phenylene -1,2-dimethylene, optionally substituted with hydroxy, oxo or methylene; and R11 is -X5X6R18, wherein X5 is -C (0) -, -C (0) C (0) - or -S (0) 2-, X6 is a bond, -O- or -NR19-, where R19 is hydrogen or alkyl (C? _6) and R18 is (i) alkyl (C? -? o) optionally substituted by cyano, halo, nitro, -NR12R12, -NR12C (0) OR12, -NR12C (0) NR12R12 , -NR12C (NR12) NR12R12, -OR12, -SR12, -C (0) OR12, -C (0) NR12R12, -S (0) 2NR12R12, -P (O) (OR12) OR12, OP (O) ( OR12) OR12, -NR12C (0) R13, -S (0) R13, -S (0) 2R13, -C (0) R13, -OR20, -SR20, -S (0) R20, -S (0) 2R20, -C (0) R20, -C (0) OR20, C (O) NR20R21, -NR20R21, -NR21C (O) R20, -NR21C (O) OR20, -NR21C (O) NR20R21 or -NR21C (NR21) NR20R21, wherein R12 and R13 are as defined above, R20 is cycloalkyl (C3-? 2) alkyl (Co-β).

Additional Processes for Preparing Compounds of Formula I: A compound of Formula I can be prepared as a pharmaceutically acceptable acid addition salt by reacting the free base form of the compound with a pharmaceutically acceptable organic or inorganic acid. Alternatively, a pharmaceutically acceptable base addition salt of a compound of Formula I can be prepared by reacting the free acid form of the compound with a pharmaceutically acceptable organic or inorganic base. The inorganic and organic acids and bases suitable for the preparation of pharmaceutically acceptable salts of the compounds of Formula I are set forth in the definitions section of this application. Alternatively, the salt forms of the compounds of Formula I can be prepared using salts of the starting materials or intermediates.
The free acid or free base forms of the compounds of Formula I can be prepared in the form of the corresponding base addition salt or acid addition salt. For example, a compound of Formula I in an acid addition salt form can be converted to the corresponding free base by treating it with a suitable base (e.g., ammonium hydroxide solution, sodium hydroxide, etc.). A compound of Formula I in a base addition salt form can be converted to the corresponding free acid by treating it with a suitable acid (e.g., hydrochloric acid, etc.). The N-oxides of the compounds of Formula I can be prepared by methods known to those of ordinary skill in the art. For example, N-oxides can be prepared by treating a non-oxidized form of the compound of Formula I with an oxidizing agent (eg, trifluoroperacetic acid, permaleic acid, perbenzoic acid, peracetic acid, meta-chloroperoxybenzoic acid, etc.) in a suitable inert organic solvent (eg, a halogenated hydrocarbon such as methylene chloride) at about 0 ° C. Alternatively, the N-oxides of the compounds of Formula I can be prepared from the N-oxide of an appropriate starting material. Compounds of Formula I in non-oxidized form can be prepared from N-oxides of the compounds of Formula I by treating them with a reducing agent (eg, sulfur, sulfur dioxide, triphenyl phosphine, lithium borohydride, borohydride sodium, phosphorus trichloride, tribromide, etc.) in a suitable inert organic solvent (eg, acetonitrile, ethanol, aqueous dioxane, etc.) from 0 to 80 ° C. Prodrug derivatives of the compounds of Formula I can be prepared by methods known to those of ordinary skill in the art (eg, for further details see Saulnier et al., (1994), Bioorganic and Medicinal Chemistry Letters 4: 1985 ). For example, appropriate prodrugs can be prepared by reacting a non-derivatized compound of Formula I with a suitable carbamylating agent (e.g., 1,1-acyloxyalkylcarbonchloridate, para-nitrophenyl carbonate, etc. ). The protected derivatives of the compounds of Formula I can be made by means known to those of ordinary skill in the art. A detailed description of the techniques applicable to the creation of protection groups and their removal in T.W. Greene, Protecting Groups in Organic Synthesis, John Willey &; Sons, Inc. 1981. The compounds of Formula I can be prepared as their individual stereoisomers by reacting a racemic mixture of the compound with an optically active resolving agent to form a pair of diastereoisomeric compounds, separating the diastereomers and recovering the optically pure enantiomer. . Although the resolution of enantiomers can be carried out using covalent diastereomeric derivatives of the compounds of Formula I, dissociable complexes (e.g., crystalline diastereoisomeric salts) are preferred. The diastereomers have different physical properties (e.g., melting points, boiling points, solubilities, reactivity, etc.) and can be easily separated by taking advantage of these disparities.

The lungs were insufflated with 10% neutral regulated formalin (NBF), at 30 cm of water pressure. The lungs were removed and placed in 10% NBF vessels. After fixation in 10% NBF for a minimum of 24 hours, the lungs were processed through wax graduated alcohols. Lungs were blocked longitudinally and a 2 μm section was cut for each animal at the level of the main bronchus. The sections were then stained with hematoxylin and eosin. The pathological assessment of the sections was performed and graduation was assigned. The histological evaluation of the lung tissue demonstrated a dose-dependent anti-inflammatory effect in the vascular and mucosal beds after treatment with the compounds of the invention between 0.03 and 30 mg / kg.
