## Background
TECHNICAL FIELD
The present invention relates to a novel acylaminopiperidine compound and a pharmaceutical which comprises the same as an active ingredient, particularly an agent for treating inflammatory diseases, more illustratively an agent for treating rheumatism, psoriasis, atopic dermatitis and asthma.
BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION
Chemokines which are the cell chemotactic factors are roughly classified into two types based on the structural characteristics, i.e., CXC/α chemokines and CC/β chemokines. Receptors of these chemokines belong to the 7-transmembrane G protein-coupled receptor family and are constituted by CXC chemokine receptors and CC chemokine receptors (Non-patent Reference 1).
CC chemokine receptor 4 (CCR4) was cloned from T lymphocyte and thymus (Non-patent Reference 2, Non-patent Reference 3) and reported to be expressed mainly in a T cell called Th2 type at the beginning (Non-patent Reference 4). However, it was shown by the detailed analyses thereafter that CCR4 is broadly present in the effector-memory T cells of Th1 and Th2 (Non-patent Reference 5, Non-patent Reference 6). According to further recent studies, it has been revealed that CCR4 is present in almost all of the skin-tropic T cells (Non-patent Reference 7) and monocyte, macrophage, dendritic cell and NK cell (Non-patent Reference 8).
Thymus and activation-regulated chemokine (TARC) and macrophage-derived chemokine (MDC) as CC chemokines are specific ligands for CCR4 (Non-patent Reference 9, Non-patent Reference 10). The TARC was found as a T cell chemotactic factor (Non-patent Reference 11), and the MDC as a chemotactic factor of monocyte, macrophage and NK cell (Non-patent Reference 12). It is known that both of the chemokines have characteristics of both inflammatory chemokine and homeostatic chemokine (Non-patent Reference 13).
It has been suggested by a large number of reports that CCR4 and its ligands TARC and MDC are concerned in various diseases such as inflammatory diseases, allergic diseases, autoimmune diseases and the like. For example, asthma (Non-patent Reference 14), atopic dermatitis (Non-patent Reference 15), psoriasis (Non-patent Reference 16), rheumatoid arthritis (Non-patent Reference 17), inflammatory bowel disease (Non-patent Reference 18) and the like may be exemplified. Accordingly, an agent that modulates the functions of CCR4 is expected as an agent for preventing or treating these diseases and the like. As the agents for preventing or treating the above-mentioned inflammatory diseases, allergic diseases, autoimmune diseases and the like, various drugs such as steroid agents and the like are used. From the viewpoint of their therapeutic effects and side effects, great concern has been directed toward the development of a drug based on a new functional mechanism.
For example, it has been reported that a compound represented by the following formula has an activity to modulate the functions of TARC or MDC (Patent Reference 1).




[See said reference for symbols in the formula.]

Also, it has been reported that, for example, a compound represented by the following formula has an activity to modulate the functions of CCR4 (Patent Reference 2).




[See said reference for symbols in the formula.]

Also, it has been reported that a compound represented by the following formula has an activity to modulate the functions of CCR4 (Patent Reference 3).




[See said official gazette for symbols in the formula.]

Also, it has been reported that a compound represented by the following formula has an activity to modulate the functions of CCR4 (Patent Reference 4).




[See said reference for symbols in the formula.]

In addition, it has been reported that a compound represented by the following formula has the action to modulate function of CCR4 (Patent Reference 5).




[See said reference for symbols in the formula.]

However, there is no disclosure or suggestion in any one of the above-mentioned references on the acylaminopiperidine compound according to the present invention.

The reaction can be carried out by employing methods known to one skilled in the art, such as usual esterification, amidation, dehydration and the like.
<First Production Method>




(In the formulae, A, —R1, —R2, —R3, —R4 and D are as defined in the foregoing. The same shall apply hereinafter.)

This production method is a method in which the compound (I) of the present invention is produced by allowing the amine derivative represented by (1-b) to react with the dichloropyrimidine represented by (1-a) which is thereby converted into the aminochloropyrimidine represented by (1-c) (first step), and further allowing the piperidine derivative represented by (1-d) to react therewith (second step).
Both of the first step and second step are carried out under ordinary pressure or pressurization, in the absence of a solvent or in an appropriate solvent.
As illustrative examples of the solvent, aromatic hydrocarbons such as toluene, xylene and the like; ketones such as acetone, methyl ethyl ketone and the like; ethers such as ether, tetrahydrofuran (THF), dioxane, diethoxyethane and the like; alcohols such as methanol (MeOH), ethanol (EtOH), 2-propanol (iPrOH) and the like; aprotic polar solvents such as acetonitrile; dimethylformamide (DMF), 1,3-dimethyl-2-imidazolidinone, dimethyl sulfoxide (DMSO) and the like; water; or a mixed solvent thereof can be exemplified. It is preferable to carry out this reaction in the presence of a base, and illustrative examples of the base include alkali carbonates such as sodium carbonate, potassium carbonate and the like; alkali bicarbonates such as sodium bicarbonate, potassium bicarbonate and the like; alkoxides such as sodium methoxide, sodium ethoxide, potassium t-butoxide and the like; tertiary amines such as triethylamine, diisopropyl ethylamine and the like; other organic bases such as 1,8-diazabicyclo[5.4.0]undec-7-ene, pyridine, lutidine and the like. Excess amount of (1-d) can also serve as the base. The reaction temperature varies depending on the kinds of material compounds, reaction conditions and the like, but it can be carried out in general at approximately from room temperature to reflux temperature of the solvent.
In this connection, the production materials (1-b) and/or (1-d) can be subjected to the reaction as a salt thereof. In addition, the production material (1-a) can be easily produced by the method described in the reference examples of this description, or for example by the method described in the aforementioned Patent Reference 4 or 6, or a method in accordance therewith.
<Production Method for Intermediate>
In this connection, the piperidine derivative represented by (1-d) to be used in the second step of the first production method can be produced by the method shown below.




(In the formulae, PG represents a protecting group of amino group. The same shall apply hereinafter.)

As the protecting group of amino group, the protecting groups described in the aforementioned “Protective Groups in Organic Synthesis (3rd edition, 1999)” can be exemplified, and illustratively, for example, tert-butoxycarbonyl, benzyloxycarbonyl and the like can be exemplified.
This production method is a method in which the piperidine derivative represented by (1-d) to be used in the second step of the first production method is produced by allowing the amine derivative represented by (2-b) to react with the piperidine derivative represented by (2-a) which can be easily obtained (first step), thereby converting into an amino piperidine represented by (2-c), further allowing it to react with the carboxylic acid represented by (2-d) or a reactive derivative thereof (second step), thereby converting into an acylaminopiperidine derivative represented by (2-e), and further carrying out deprotection of the 1-position of piperidine (third step).
It is preferable that the first step uses a reductive amination reaction. For example, the methods described in “Jikken Kagaku Koza (Experimentation Chemistry Course) (4th edition)” edited by The Chemical Society of Japan, vol. 20 (1992) (Maruzen) and the like, the methods obvious to those skilled in the art or modified methods thereof can be used.
The second step can be carried out under cooling, under cooling to room temperature or under room temperature to heating, preferably under room temperature, using equivalent amount of (2-c) and (2-d), or one of them in an excess amount, in the presence of a condensing agent such as dicyclohexylcarbodiimide (DCC), diisopropylcarbodiimide (DIPC), 1-ethyl-3-(3-dimethylaminopropyl)carbodiimide (EDCI), 1,1-carbonylbis-1H-imidazole (CDI) or the like and, as occasion demands, an additive agent such as N-hydroxysuccinimide (HONSu), 1-hydroxybenzotriazole (HOBt) or the like. Illustrative examples of the solvent include ethers; halogenated hydrocarbons such as dichloromethane, 1,2-dichloroethane, chloroform and the like; acetonitrile; aprotic polar solvents such as dimethylformamide (DMF), 1,3-dimethyl-2-imidazolidinone, dimethyl sulfoxide (DMSO) and the like; or a mixed solvent thereof. In addition, it is also advantageous in some cases to carry out in the presence of a base such as triethylamine, diisopropylethylamine, pyridine or the like.
The method described in the deprotection reaction of amino group and the like of the aforementioned “Protective Groups in Organic Synthesis (3rd edition, 1999)” may be used in the third step.
In addition, some of the compounds represented by the formula (I) may also be produced from the compound of the present invention produced in the above manner, by optionally combining known steps which are generally employed by those skilled in the art, such as alkylation, acylation, substitution reaction, oxidation, reduction, hydrolysis, deprotection and the like.
The reaction product obtained by the above-mentioned each production method is isolated and purified as a free compound, a salt thereof or various types of solvate such as hydrate or the like. The salt can be produced by subjecting to a general salt formation treatment.
The isolation and purification are carried out by employing general chemical operations such as extraction, concentration, evaporation, crystallization, filtration, recrystallization, various types of chromatography and the like.
Various isomers can be isolated in the usual way, by making use of the difference in physicochemical properties between the isomers. For example, optical isomers can be separated by a general optical resolution method such as fractional crystallization, chromatography or the like. In addition, an optical isomer can also be produced from an appropriate optically active material compound.

A vector (contains a neomycin-resistance gene) in which human CCR4 gene was inserted into downstream of the EF-1α promoter was prepared and transfected into a mouse pre B cell line B300-16 cells by electroporation. These cells were cultured using a G-418-supplemented medium, and a single cell line capable of producing human CCR4 constantly and stably was obtained by the limiting dilution method.
(2) Preparation of Human CCR4 Expressing Cell Line Membrane Fraction
The human CCR4 expressing cells were recovered, washed with PBS and then suspended in a lysis buffer (10 mM HEPES pH 7.5, 2 mM EDTA, proteinase inhibitor). After allowing the suspension to stand on ice for 15 minutes, the cells were disintegrated using a homogenizer and centrifuged (2000 rpm, 10 min, 4° C.). The supernatant was further subjected to ultracentrifugation (22 K, 30 min, 4° C.), and then the pellet was suspended in PBS and used in the subsequent test.

2. Action Upon Mouse Oxazolone-Induced Contact Dermatitis
Balb/c mice (6 to 10 weeks of age, female, Charles River Japan) were sensitized by applying 150 μl of 3% oxazolone/ethanol solution (Sigma Aldrich Japan) to the abdominal part. On the 6th day after the sensitization, 10 μl of 1% oxazolone/ethanol solution was applied to both sides of the right ear. The test drug was administered in 12 hours after the application of the oxazolone solution (test drug administration group), and the solvent alone used in dissolving the test drug was administered to the control group. Thickness of the right auricle was measured before the application and 20 hours thereafter using a sickness gauge (Mitsutoyo), and the swelling (thickness increment=measured value after 20 hours−measured value before application) was calculated. The inhibition ratio was calculated by the following formula, by regarding a group to which the oxazolone solution was applied without sensitization as the normal group. In this connection, the above-mentioned test was carried out by 5 animals per group.

Inhibition ratio=(swelling of control group−swelling of test drug administration group)×100/(swelling of control group−swelling of normal group)

As a result, the compound of Example 1 showed good inhibitory activity by 30 mg/kg oral administration.
3. Action Upon Mouse Collagen-Induced Arthritis
The action upon mouse collagen-induced arthritis can be evaluated using the method described in The Japanese Journal of Pharmacology, 88, 332 (2002).
In addition to the above-mentioned respective test example, pharmacological actions of the compound of the present invention can be verified by various evaluation models generally used for the evaluation of anti-inflammation actions, such as the mice asthma model described in Immunology, 98, 345 (1999), the oxazolone-induced chronic contact dermatitis model (atopic dermatitis model) described in Journal of Investigative Dermatology, 111, 86 (1998) and the like.
It was confirmed from the above test results that the compound of the present invention has the function modulating action of CCR4 or TARC and/or MDC and therefore is useful as an agent for preventing and treating various inflammatory diseases, allergic diseases, autoimmune diseases and the like.
The pharmaceutical preparation which comprises one or two or more species of the compound (I) or a salt thereof as the active ingredient is prepared using carriers, fillers and other additive agents, which are generally used in preparing medicines.
The administration may be either oral administration by tablets, pills, capsules, granules, powders, solutions and the like, or parenteral administration by injections (e.g., intravenous, intramuscular and the like), suppositories, transdermal preparations, transnasal preparations, inhalations and the like. The dose is optionally decided in response to each case by taking symptoms and age, sex and the like of the object to be administered into consideration, but is generally approximately from 0.001 mg/kg to 100 mg/kg per day per adult in the case of oral administration, and this is administered once or by dividing into 2 to 4 doses. Also, in the case of intravenous administration due to the symptom, it is administered generally once to 2 or more times a day within a range of from 0.0001 mg/kg to 10 mg/kg per once per adult. Also, in the case of inhalation, it is administered generally once to 2 or more times a day within a range of from 0.0001 mg/kg to 1 mg/kg per once per adult.

Example 1
2-Chloro-N-(4-chloro-2-fluorophenyl)-6,7-dimethoxyquinazoline-4-amine hydrochloride (405 mg), N,1-dimethyl-N-piperidin-4-yl-L-prolinamide dihydrochloride (447 mg) and 1,8-diazabicyclo[5.4.0]undec-7-ene (608 mg) were added to 1,4-dioxane (20 mL), followed by heating under reflux for 24 hours. After concentration of the reaction solution, ethyl acetate and water were added to the residue, the organic layer was separated, and the water layer was further extracted with ethyl acetate. The combined organic layer was washed with saturated brine, dried over magnesium sulfate and then filtered. The solvent was evaporated under a reduced pressure. By purifying the residue by silica gel flash column chromatography (chloroform-MeOH), N-(1-{4-[(4-chloro-2-fluorophenyl)amino]-6,7-dimethoxyquinazolin-2-yl}piperidin-4-yl)-N,1-dimethyl-L-prolinamide was obtained. This was dissolved in ethyl acetate (10 mL), and 4 M HCl/ethyl acetate solution (0.5 mL) was added thereto. By evaporating the solvent under a reduced pressure and recrystallizing the resulting residue from EtOH-diethyl ether, N-(1-{4-[(4-chloro-2-fluorophenyl)amino]-6,7-dimethoxyquinazolin-2-yl}piperidin-4-yl)-N,1-dimethyl-L-prolinamide dihydrochloride (155 mg) was obtained as pale yellow powder.

Ethyl acetate and a saturated sodium bicarbonate aqueous solution were added to the reaction solution, and the organic layer was separated. Next, the organic layer was washed with saturated brine, dried over magnesium sulfate and then filtered. The solvent was evaporated under a reduced pressure. By purifying the residue by silica gel flash column chromatography (chloroform-MeOH), N-(1-{4-[(4-chloro-2-fluorophenyl)amino]-6,7-dimethoxyquinazolin-2-yl}piperidin-4-yl)-N-methyl-L-prolinamide was obtained. This was dissolved in ethyl acetate (10 mL), and 4 M HCl/ethyl acetate solution (0.5 mL) was added thereto. By evaporating the solvent under a reduced pressure and recrystallizing the resulting residue from EtOH-diethyl ether, N-(1-{4-[(4-chloro-2-fluorophenyl)amino]-6,7-dimethoxyquinazolin-2-yl}piperidin-4-yl)-N-methyl-L-prolinamide dihydrochloride (481 mg) was obtained as pale yellow powder.
Example 3
Triethylamine (175 μl) and acetyl chloride (32 μl) were added under ice-cooling to a dichloromethane (5 mL) solution of N-(1-{4-[(4-chloro-2-fluorophenyl)amino]-6,7-dimethoxyquinazolin-2-yl}piperidin-4-yl)-N-methyl-L-prolinamide dihydrochloride (250 mg), followed by stirring under ice-cooling for 2 hours and under room temperature for 20 hours. A saturated sodium bicarbonate aqueous solution was added thereto, followed by extraction with chloroform. The organic layer was washed with saturated brine and dried over anhydrous sodium sulfate. Then, the solvent was evaporated. By purifying the resulting residue by a silica gel column chromatography (chloroform-MeOH), 1-acetyl-N-(1-{4-[(4-chloro-2-fluorophenyl)amino]-6,7-dimethoxyquinazolin-2-yl}piperidin-4-yl)-N-methyl-L-prolinamide was obtained. This compound was dissolved in MeOH (3 mL), 4 M HCl/ethyl acetate solution (203 μl) was added thereto, and the solvent was evaporated. By crystallizing the resulting crude crystals from isopropanol-diisopropyl ether, 1-acetyl-N-(1-{4-[(4-chloro-2-fluorophenyl)amino]-6,7-dimethoxyquinazolin-2-yl}piperidin-4-yl)-N-methyl-L-prolinamide hydrochloride (167 mg) was obtained as pale yellow crystals.
Example 4
Potassium carbonate (62 mg) and ethyl iodide (36 μl) were added in that order to an acetonitrile (5 mL) solution of N-(1-{4-[(4-chloro-2-fluorophenyl)amino]-6,7-dimethoxyquinazolin-2-yl}piperidin-4-yl)-N-methyl-L-prolinamide dihydrochloride (250 mg), followed by stirring at room temperature for 2 hours and at 50° C. for 19 hours. The solvent was evaporated, and a saturated sodium bicarbonate aqueous solution was added to the resulting residue, followed by extraction with chloroform.
