## Background
TECHNICAL FIELD
The present invention relates to novel benzophenone derivatives or the salts thereof that have anti-arthritic activities and inhibitory effect on bone destruction caused by arthritis and provide preventive, therapeutic and improving effect against arthritic diseases. Further, the invention relates to preventive/therapeutic agent for diseases, in which excessive expression of AP-1 is involved, and inhibitors against AP-1 activity, which contain the above benzophenone derivatives or the salts thereof.
BACKGROUND ART
Arthritic disease such as connective tissue diseases, represented by rheumatoid arthritis, and osteoarthritis brings on joint dysfunction by the progression of cartilage/bone destruction and has a large effect on patients' daily life.
Up until now, for drug treatment for rheumatoid arthritis and other arthritis, have been used non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs) such as aspirin and indomethacin, disease modifying antirheumatic drugs (DMARDs) such as gold preparation and D-penicillamine, immunosuppressive drugs such as methotrexate, and adrenocorticoids. However, therapies currently in use cannot completely inhibit the progress of bone destruction, which is the most important problem of concern with arthritis, and are difficult to apply to patients for a long period of time because of adverse effects occurring in association with the drugs used and thereby satisfactory treatment has not been given to patients to date.
To overcome the above problem, studies have been performed; for example, Japanese Patent Laid-Open No. 2000-336063 discloses benzophenone derivatives that are effective in the treatment for mouse collagen-induced arthritis. However, it is still expected that the benzophenone derivatives having anti-arthritic activities provide a further improvement in anti-arthritic activities and inhibitory effect on bone destruction caused by arthritis, safety, and pharmacokinetics.
Further, it has been hoped that preventive/therapeutic agent for diseases, in which excessive expression of AP-1 is involved, are developed which provide inhibitory effect on the activity of transcription factor AP-1, suppress excessive expression of a variety of genes based on their inhibitory effect on AP-1, and produce less adverse effects.

Test Methods
Test Example 1 Effect on AP-1 Binding Activity to AP-1 Recognition Sequence (ELISA)
Jun peptide and Fos peptide with its N-terminal labeled with biotin via 4 glycine residues containing a DNA binding site [Nature, Vol. 373, 1995, 257-261] were synthesized. Each of the peptides was dissolved in Tris buffer [20 mM Tris-hydrochloric acid (pH 7.5), 50 mM potassium chloride, 1 mM ethylenediaminetetraacetic acid, 10 mM magnesium chloride, 1 mM dithiothreitol, 0.5 M guanidinohydrochloric acid, 30% glycerol], and equimolar amounts of the peptide solutions were mixed with each other to be used as an AP-1 complex (Fos/Jun peptide). The AP-1 complex was added onto a 96-well avidin-coated ELISA plate (10 pmol/well). The plate was washed, blocked by bovine serum albumin, and used for binding assay.
Digoxigenin-labeled double-stranded oligonucleotide (22mer) that contained AP-1 binding sequence (3′-TGAGTCA-5′) synthesized by conventional procedure was reacted in binding reaction solution [25 mM tris-hydrochloric acid (pH 7.9), 0.5 mM ethylenediaminetetraacetic acid, 0.05% Nonidet P-40, 10% glycerol] for 30 minutes at room temperature in the presence or absence of samples. After the reaction, unbound labeled oligonucleotide was removed by washing with HEPES buffer containing 0.05% Tween-20. Then peroxidase-labeled anti-digoxigenin antibody was added to react with the labeled oligonucleotide bound to AP-1. After removing excess antibody by washing with HEPES buffer containing 0.05% Tween-20, incubation was conducted for a certain period with o-phenylene diamine as a substrate in 100 mM citric acid buffer (pH 5.0) containing hydrogen peroxide, sulfuric acid solution was added to each well, and the absorbance (492 nm) was measured. Inhibition rate of each sample was calculated from the absorbance obtained in the binding assay carried out in the presence of the sample, taking the absorbance obtained in the absence of the sample=100%.
The results are shown in Table 12.

Test Example 2 Type II Collagen-Induced Arthritis in Mouse
Male DBA/1J mice aged 8 weeks (Charles River Japan) were used. To a solution of 2 mg/mL bovine type II collagen in 0.1 mol/L acetic acid (Koken), an equimolar amount of Freund's complete adjuvant (DIFCO) was added to prepare an emulsion, and 0.2 ml of the emulsion was subcutaneously injected in the tail root region of each mouse. The same treatment was given 21 days after the initial inoculation to induce arthritis in the mice. Test compounds were each suspended in 0.5% methylcellulose solution, and 10 mg/kg of each test compound was given orally to mice once a day from 21 to 35 days after the initial inoculation. To a control group (a negative control group), 0.5% methylcellulose solution was given in the same manner.
Taking the maximum score as 12, the arthritis score was calculated to evaluate the severity of arthritis that was evaluated in the following manner: score 0: no change; score 1: swelling on one or two toes, or slight swelling in the carpal and tarsal joints; score 2: swelling and rubor in more joints; score 3: extensive swelling over whole foreleg or hindleg; and total of the four legs was calculated.
X-ray photographs of four paws were taken 36 days after the initial inoculation, and the severity of bone destruction was evaluated as bone destruction score on a maximum scale, the sum of the points for extremities, of 105 points: 0 or 0.5 points in accordance with presence or absence of osteoporosis in the joints and their vicinity, and for bone erosion, no change at 0 point; “partial bone destruction” at 1 point and “complete bone destruction” at 2 points in the second to fifth interdigital joints, the first to fifth metacarpal and metatarsal joints, and carpal, tarsal and calcaneal regions. Inhibition rate was calculated using the following equation:

Inhibition rate(%)=100−(score of the group given the test compound/score of the control group)×100

Table 13 shows the arthritis inhibition rate and the bone destruction inhibition rate of each test compound on 36 days after initial inoculation.

1.50 g of methyl 3-{5-[4-(cyclopentyloxy)-2-hydroxybenzoyl]-2-hydroxyphenyl} propanoate, 1.04 g of methyl 3-(hydroxymethyl)-1-benzothiophene-7-carboxylate, and 1.23 g of triphenylphosphine were dissolved in 15 mL of tetrahydrofuran, to which 0.92 mL of diisopropyl azodicarboxylate was added dropwise at temperatures of 19 to 32° C., and this mixture was stirred for one hour at room temperature. The reaction mixture was poured into a mixture of ethyl acetate and water, and the organic phase was separated therefrom. After the resultant organic phase was washed with water and a saturated sodium chloride solution successively, the washed phase was dried over anhydrous magnesium sulfate and the solvent was distilled out thereof under reduced pressure. The resultant residue was purified by silica gel column chromatography [eluent; hexane:ethyl acetate=3:1] to yield 1.70 g of methyl 3-{[4-[4-(cyclopentyloxy)-2-hydroxybenzoyl]-2-(3-methoxy-3-oxopropyl) phenoxy]methyl}-1-benzothiophene-7-carboxylate as light yellow solid.
