Compounds of the formula (I):




in which the radicals R and R1 to R10 are as defined in the description,
processes for the preparation of them,
use thereof for the treatment of cardiovascular diseases, and
pharmaceutical compositions comprising them.

## Background
The present invention relates to guanidine derivatives, to processes for the preparation of these derivatives, to pharmaceutical compositions comprising these derivatives, and to the use of these derivatives as CETP repressors, for the prevention and treatment of cardiovascular diseases, and in particular atherosclerosis and type II diabetes.
Atherosclerosis, and cardiovascular diseases in general, are one of the main causes of death in developed countries. Despite the efforts directed towards minimising the risk factors, such as smoking, a sedentary lifestyle and an unbalanced diet, and also the therapeutic treatments for dyslipidaemia using pharmaceutical compositions, death due to myocardial infarction and other cardiovascular diseases remains very high.
It has been demonstrated that the risks of cardiovascular diseases are highly dependent on the levels of low-density lipoproteins (LDL) in the blood plasma.
Whereas high levels of triglycerides and of LDL cholesterol contribute positively to the risks of developing cardiovascular diseases, high levels of high-density lipoprotein (HDL) cholesterol reduce the risks of developing these diseases. Thus, dyslipidaemia does not have only one risk profile for cardiovascular diseases, but may include one or more lipid dysfunctions.
Among the many factors acting on the levels of triglycerides, LDL and HDL, CETP (cholesteryl ester transfer protein) plays an important role. CETP catalyses the transfer and exchange of triglycerides and of cholesterol esters between the HDLs of the plasma and the low-density lipoproteins (LDL) and very-low-density lipoproteins (VLDL) which contain triglycerides. If the action of CETP on the levels of these various lipids contained in the lipoproteins is increased, it is thus considered as being pro-atherogenic, in particular in the case of individuals in whom the lipid profile represents a high risk of cardiovascular diseases.
Thus, modulating the activity of CETP, either by direct inhibition or by controlled regulation of CETP expression, may be considered as a possible means of therapeutic treatment (see, for example, Kushwaha et al., J. Lipid Research, 34, (1993), 1285-1297).
Accordingly, a considerable amount of research has been directed towards CETP inhibitors, and has given rise to inhibitors of peptide and non-peptide type. Among the latter, mention may be made of CETP inhibitors of tetrahydroquinoline type (described in patent application EP-A-0 818 448) or those of 2-arylpyridine type (EP-A-0 796 846), or alternatively those described in patent application EP-A-0 818 197, to mention but a few.
Despite the existence in the literature of all these inhibitors, there is nevertheless still a need for novel CETP inhibitors that are more effective, that have a longer duration of action, are more specific, show better absorption and better solubility and have fewer risks of side effects.
The present invention proposes to achieve these objectives, in total or in part, by means of novel compounds of guanidine structure.
More specifically, the invention relates to guanidine derivatives of the formula (I):

        R1 is chosen from a hydrogen atom and a (C1-C6)alkyl radical, or alternatively

        R2 is chosen from a (C1-C10)alkyl radical, a (C2-C10)alkenyl radical, a (C6-C18)aryl(C1-C10)alkyl radical, a (C1-C6)alkyl-O—(C1-C10)alkyl radical and a (C3-C10)cycloalkyl(C1-C10)alkyl radical;

The invention also relates to pharmaceutical compositions comprising a pharmaceutically effective amount of at least one compound of the formula (I) as defined above in combination with one or more pharmaceutically acceptable vehicles.
These compositions can be administered orally in the form of tablets, gel capsules or granules with immediate release or controlled release, intravenously in the form of an injectable solution, transdermally in the form of an adhesive transdermal device, or locally in the form of a solution, cream or gel.
A solid composition for oral administration is prepared by adding to the active principle a filler and, where appropriate, a binder, a disintegrating agent, a lubricant, a colorant or a flavour enhancer, and by forming the mixture into a tablet, a coated tablet, a granule, a powder or a capsule.
Examples of fillers include lactose, corn starch, sucrose, glucose, sorbitol, crystalline cellulose and silicon dioxide, and examples of binders include poly(vinyl alcohol), poly(vinyl ether), ethylcellulose, methylcellulose, acacia, gum tragacanth, gelatine, shellac, hydroxypropylcellulose, hydroxypropylmethylcellulose, calcium citrate, dextrin and pectin. Examples of lubricants include magnesium stearate, talc, polyethylene glycol, silica and hardened plant oils. The colorant may be any of those permitted for used in medicaments. Examples of flavour enhancers include cocoa powder, mint in herb form, aromatic powder, mint in oil form, borneol and cinnamon powder. Obviously, the tablet or granule can be suitably coated with sugar, gelatine or the like.
An injectable form comprising the compound of the present invention as active principle is prepared, where appropriate, by mixing the said compound with a pH regulator, a buffer agent, a suspension agent, a solubiliser, a stabiliser, an isotonic agent and/or a preserving agent, and by converting the mixture into a form for intravenous, subcutaneous or intramuscular injection, according to a standard process. Where appropriate, the injectable form obtained can be freeze-dried via a standard process.
Examples of suspension agents include methylcellulose, polysorbate 80, hydroxyethylcellulose, acacia, powdered gum tragacanth, sodium carboxymethylcellulose and polyethoxylated sorbitan monolaurate.
Examples of solubilisers include castor oil solidified with polyoxyethylene, polysorbate 80, nicotinamide, polyethoxylated sorbitan monolaurate and the ethyl ester of castor oil fatty acid.
In addition, possible stabilisers include sodium sulfite, sodium metasulfite and ether, while possible preserving agents include methyl p-hydroxybenzoate, ethyl p-hydroxybenzoate, sorbic acid, phenol, cresol and chlorocresol.
The present invention also relates to the use of a compound of the formula (I) of the invention for the preparation of a medicament for the prevention or treatment of dyslipidaemia, atherosclerosis, type II diabetes and related diseases.
The effective administration doses and posologies of the compounds of the invention, intended for the prevention or treatment of a disease, disorder or condition caused by or associated with modulation of CETP activity, depends on a large number of factors, for example on the nature of the inhibitor, the size of the patient, the aim of the desired treatment, the nature of the pathology to be treated, the specific pharmaceutical composition used and the observations and conclusions of the treating physician.
For example, in the case of an oral administration, for example a tablet or a gel capsule, a possible suitable dosage of the compounds of the formula (I) is between about 0.1 mg/kg and about 100 mg/kg of body weight per day, preferably between about 0.5 mg/kg and about 50 mg/kg of body weight per day, more preferably between about 1 mg/kg and about 10 mg/kg of body weight per day and more preferably between about 2 mg/kg and about 5 mg/kg of body weight per day of active material.
If representative body weights of 10 kg and 100 kg are considered in order to illustrate the oral daily dosage range that can be used and as described above, suitable dosages of the compounds of the formula (I) will be between about 1-10 mg and 1000-10 000 mg per day, preferably between about 5-50 mg and 500-5000 mg per day, more preferably between about 10.0-100.0 mg and 100.0-1000.0 mg per day and even more preferably between about 20.0-200.0 mg and about 50.0-500.0 mg per day of active material comprising a preferred compound.
These dosage ranges represent total amounts of active material per day for a given patient. The number of administrations per day at which a dose is administered can vary within wide proportions depending on pharmacokinetic and pharmacological factors, such as the half-life of the active material, which reflects its rate of catabolism and clearance, and also the minimum and optimum levels of the said active material, in blood plasma or in other bodily fluids, which are reached in the patient and which are required for therapeutic efficacy.
Many other factors should also be taken into consideration when determining the number of daily administrations and the amount of active material that should be administered in a single dosage intake. Among these other factors, and not the least of which, is the individual response of the patient to be treated.
The present invention also relates to a general process for the preparation of the compounds of the formula (I) according to the synthetic scheme 1 presented in FIG. 1, in which the various variable substituents are as defined above for the compounds of the formula (I).
According to this process, the aryl thiocyanate (V) is subjected to the action of an amine HNR3R4, in a polar protic solvent medium, such as an alcohol, for example ethanol, to give, after heating, for example at the reflux point of the solvent, the corresponding thiourea. This thiourea is then placed in a reducing medium, for example in MnO4− medium, with the amine of the formula (III), to give the compound of the formula (I), which is isolated and purified, where appropriate.
This process (synthetic route 1) is particularly suitable for the synthesis of the compounds of the formula (I) for which R5, R6, R7 and R8 each represent a hydrogen atom.
According to one variant, the compounds of the formula (I) according to the present invention can also be prepared according to a process involving synthesis on a support, especially on resin.
This process is illustrated by scheme 2, presented in FIG. 2, in which scheme:

    
    
        the compound of the formula (II), in which:
          represents a graft on resin, for example of Bromo Wang type;
         X is chosen from a hydrogen atom, a halogen atom, a (C1-C6)alkyl radical and a (C1-C6)alkoxy radical;
         is placed in contact with an excess of the amine of the formula (III) in an apolar aprotic solvent, for example dichloromethane, generally at room temperature, to give the compound of the formula (IV);
        the compound of the formula (IV) is then reacted, under conditions similar to those described above, with a compound of the formula (V), to give the thiourea of the formula (VI);
        the said thiourea (VI) is converted, by the action of an amine of the formula (VII), generally at room temperature, in a polar aprotic medium, for example DMF, and in the presence of mercuric salts, for example HgCl2, to give the guanidine of the formula (VIII);
        the guanidine (VIII) is then detached from the resin, according to any technique known per se, for example using trifluoroacetic acid, dichloromethane and triisopropylsilane, to give the compounds of the formula (IA), which are a special case of the compounds of the formula (I) for which R9 and R10 each represent a hydrogen atom;
        and the terminal amine of these compounds of the formula (IA) can optionally be selectively mono- or dialkylated according to standard amine alkylation techniques that are well known to those skilled in the art.
    
    


In the processes described above, it should be understood that the operating conditions can vary substantially depending on the various substituents present in the compounds of the formula (I) that it is desired to prepare. Such variations and adaptations are readily accessible to a person skilled in the art, for example from scientific reviews, the patent literature, Chemical Abstracts, and computer databases, including the Internet Similarly, the starting materials are either commercially available or are accessible via syntheses that a person skilled in the art can readily find, for example in the various publications and databases described above.
By way of example of a variant of the process described above, the compounds of the general formula (I), for which R5, R6, R7 and R8 each represent a hydrogen atom, can advantageously be prepared according to the synthetic scheme 3 presented in FIG. 3.
The possible optical isomers of the compounds of the formula (I) can be obtained on the one hand via standard techniques for separating and/or purifying isomers known to those skilled in the art, from the racemic mixture of the compound of the formula (I). The optical isomers can also be obtained directly via stereoselective synthesis of an optically active starting compound.
The examples that follow illustrate the present invention without limiting it in any way. In these examples and in the proton nuclear magnetic resonance data (300 MHz NMR), the following abbreviations have been used: s for singlet, d for doublet, t for triplet, q for quartet, o for octet, m for complex multiplet and b for broad. The chemical shifts δ are expressed in ppm, unless otherwise indicated. TFA means trifluoroacetic acid.

RESULTS
The activity of the compounds of the present invention is demonstrated in vitro in the following tests:
The stably transfected cell line (luciferase under the control of the human CETP promoter) is maintained in the growth medium (DMEM/Hepes, F12, Glutamax, FBS and geneticin) incubated at 37° C., 95% humidity and 5% CO2 to the point of confluence. The cells are then rinsed with PBS and detached with a trypsin/EDTA mixture. The medium is changed every 2 to 3 days.
The resuspended cells are diluted and counted, and then distributed in microplate (96) wells.
About 20 000 cells per well are distributed and incubated overnight at 37° C. with 5% CO2.
The compounds of the present invention are diluted to a final concentration of 15 μM and distributed in the plates containing the cells.
The plates are incubated overnight at 37° C. with 5% CO2.
The medium covering the cells is drawn off and 100 μl of Steady Glo luciferase (DMEM without phenol red/Steady Glo, V/V) are added to the cells.
The plates are sealed with a film and left in the dark for about 20 minutes at room temperature.
The plates are then read using a luminometer (1 sec/well).

By way of example, the activity expressed as a percentage of the control for the compounds of Examples 5, 31, 61 and 95 is 46%, 30%, 33% and 16%, respectively.
On another batch of plates not treated with Steady Glo, the state of the cultures is checked by microscope. The culture medium is removed and 100 μl of medium comprising neutral red are added for 3 hours at 37° C.
The medium is then removed and replaced for one minute with 100 μl of formaldehyde-calcium (10 ml of 37% formaldehyde+calcium chloride dihydrate 10 g qs 1 L).
The plate is emptied and 100 μl of acetic acid-ethanol mixture (10 ml of glacial acetic acid+500 ml of absolute ethanol qs 1 L) are added to each well for 15 minutes with stirring.
The plates are then read at 540 nm. The stronger the coloration, the greater the cellular toxicity.
No cellular toxicity is detected for the compounds of Examples 5, 31, 61 and 95.
