No. 7,534,789, which claims priority of EP06111338.7, filed Mar. 17, 2006; EP06111191.0, filed Mar. 15, 2006; and EP06111342.9, filed Mar. 17, 2006, the contents of which are incorporated herein in their entireties.


FIELD OF THE INVENTION
The present invention relates to enantiomerically pure compounds of formula 1




wherein the groups m, n, B, X, R1, m and Ym− may have the meanings given in the claims and specification, methods for preparing them and their use as pharmaceutical compositions, particularly as pharmaceutical compositions for the treatment of respiratory complaints.

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION
Betamimetics (β-adrenergic substances) are discussed in U.S. Pat. No. 4,460,581, which proposes betamimetics for the treatment of a range of diseases.
For drug treatment of diseases it is often desirable to prepare medicaments with a longer duration of activity. As a rule, this ensures that the concentration of the active substance in the body needed to achieve the therapeutic effect is guaranteed for a longer period without the need to re-administer the drug at frequent intervals. Moreover, giving an active substance at longer time intervals contributes to the well-being of the patient to a high degree.
It is particularly desirable to prepare a pharmaceutical composition which can be used therapeutically by administration once a day (single dose). The use of a drug once a day has the advantage that the patient can become accustomed relatively quickly to regularly taking the drug at certain times of the day.
The aim of the present invention is therefore to provide betamimetics which on the one hand confer a therapeutic benefit in the treatment of respiratory complaints and are also characterized by a longer duration of activity and can thus be used to prepare pharmaceutical compositions with a longer duration of activity. A further objective of the present invention is to prepare betamimetics which, by virtue of their long-lasting effect, can be used to prepare a drug for administration once a day for treating respiratory complaints. Another objective of the invention, apart from those mentioned above, is to prepare betamimetics which are not only exceptionally potent but are also characterized by a high degree of selectivity with respect to the β2-adrenoceptor. In addition, the invention sets out to prepare betamimetics which because of their physicochemical properties can be used in particular for preparing pharmaceutical formulations which are particularly suitable for administration by inhalation. The invention also relates to the preparation of betamimetics, which in addition to having the above-mentioned properties, are also particularly suitable for preparing inhalable powders and suspension aerosols.

Synthesis of Salt Precursors
General Method 1: 1 mmol glyoxal aldehyde or acetal and 1 mmol amine are stirred for 30 minutes in 5 mL tetrahydrofuran at 50° C. The mixture is cooled to 0° C. and under an argon atmosphere 1.5 mL of a 2 molar solution of lithium borohydride in tetrahydrofuran is added dropwise. The mixture is stirred for 30 min at 0° C., combined with 10 mL dichloromethane and 3 mL water, stirred for another hour at ambient temperature and then filtered through kieselguhr, while eluting with dichloromethane. The eluate is freed from the solvent and the residue is purified by chromatography, if necessary. The benzylether thus obtained is dissolved in methanol and hydrogenated with palladium on charcoal (10%) as catalyst at 2.5 bar and ambient temperature. Then the catalyst is separated off and the crude product is purified by chromatography (reverse phase, acetonitrile/water gradient with 0.1% trifluoroacetic acid) or recrystallised from acetonitrile.
General Method 2: 1 mmol glyoxal aldehyde or acetal and 1 mmol amine are suspended in 5 mL ethanol and heated to 70° C. The resulting solution is stirred for one hour at 70° C. and then cooled to ambient temperature. After the addition of 113 mg (3 mmol) sodium borohydride the mixture is stirred for 3 hours at ambient temperature, combined with 0.7 mL saturated potassium carbonate solution and stirred for a further 30 minutes. It is filtered through aluminium oxide (basic), washed repeatedly with dichloromethane/methanol 15:1, evaporated down and chromatographed (silica gel; dichloromethane with 0-10% methanol:ammonia=9:1). The benzyl compound thus obtained is dissolved in 10 mL methanol and hydrogenated with palladium on charcoal as catalyst at 1 bar hydrogen pressure. Then the catalyst is filtered off and the filtrate is evaporated down.

The tablets may also comprise several layers.
Coated tablets may be prepared accordingly by coating cores produced analogously to the tablets with substances normally used for tablet coatings, for example collidone or shellac, gum arabic, talc, titanium dioxide or sugar. To achieve delayed release or prevent incompatibilities the core may also consist of a number of layers. Similarly the tablet coating may consist of a number of layers to achieve delayed release, possibly using the excipients mentioned above for the tablets.
Syrups containing the active substances or combinations thereof according to the invention may additionally contain a sweetener such as saccharine, cyclamate, glycerol or sugar and a flavour enhancer, e.g. a flavouring such as vanilline or orange extract. They may also contain suspension adjuvants or thickeners such as sodium carboxymethyl cellulose, wetting agents such as, for example, condensation products of fatty alcohols with ethylene oxide, or preservatives such as p-hydroxybenzoates.
Solutions are prepared in the usual way, e.g. with the addition of isotonic agents, preservatives such as p-hydroxybenzoates or stabilisers such as alkali metal salts of ethylenediaminetetraacetic acid, optionally using emulsifiers and/or dispersants, while if water is used as diluent, for example, organic solvents may optionally be used as solubilisers or dissolving aids, and the solutions may be transferred into injection vials or ampoules or infusion bottles.
Capsules containing the compounds of formula 1 according to the invention may for example be prepared by mixing the active substances with inert carriers such as lactose or sorbitol and packing them into gelatine capsules.
Suitable suppositories may be made for example by mixing with carriers provided for this purpose, such as neutral fats or polyethyleneglycol or the derivatives thereof.
Excipients which may be used include, for example, water, pharmaceutically acceptable organic solvents such as paraffins (e.g. petroleum fractions), vegetable oils (e.g. groundnut or sesame oil), mono- or polyfunctional alcohols (e.g. ethanol or glycerol), carriers such as e.g. natural mineral powders (e.g. kaolins, clays, talc, chalk), synthetic mineral powders (e.g. highly dispersed silicic acid and silicates), sugars (e.g. cane sugar, lactose and glucose), emulsifiers (e.g. lignin, spent sulphite liquors, methylcellulose, starch and polyvinylpyrrolidone) and lubricants (e.g. magnesium stearate, talc, stearic acid and sodium lauryl sulphate).
For oral use the tablets may obviously contain, in addition to the carriers specified, additives such as sodium citrate, calcium carbonate and dicalcium phosphate together with various additional substances such as starch, preferably potato starch, gelatine and the like. Lubricants such as magnesium stearate, sodium laurylsulphate and talc may also be used to produce the tablets. In the case of aqueous suspensions the active substances may be combined with various flavour enhancers or colourings in addition to the abovementioned excipients.
Use of the compounds of formula 1 for the treatment of respiratory complaints can be administered by inhalation. Inhalable preparations include inhalable powders, propellant-containing metered-dose aerosols or propellant-free inhalable solutions. Within the scope of the present invention, the term propellant-free inhalable solutions also includes concentrates or sterile ready-to-use inhalable solutions.
The compounds of formula 1 may be used in crystalline form according to the invention and used to prepare powders for inhalation. The inhalable powders which may be used according to the invention may contain the crystalline compounds of formula 1 either on their own or in admixture with suitable physiologically acceptable excipients.
If the active ingredients are present in admixture with physiologically acceptable excipients, the following physiologically acceptable excipients may be used to prepare these inhalable powders according to the invention: monosaccharides (e.g. glucose or arabinose), disaccharides (e.g. lactose, saccharose, maltose), oligo- and polysaccharides (e.g. dextrans), polyalcohols (e.g. sorbitol, mannitol, xylitol), salts (e.g. sodium chloride, calcium carbonate) or mixtures of these excipients. Preferably, mono- or disaccharides are used, while the use of lactose or glucose is preferred, particularly, but not exclusively, in the form of their hydrates. For the purposes of the invention, lactose is the particularly preferred excipient, while lactose monohydrate is most particularly preferred.
Within the scope of the inhalable powders according to the invention the excipients have a maximum average particle size of up to 250 μm, preferably between 10 and 150 μm, most preferably between 15 and 80 μm. In some cases it may seem appropriate to add finer excipient fractions with an average particle size of 1 to 9 μm to the excipients mentioned above. These finer excipients are also selected from the group of possible excipients listed hereinbefore. Finally, in order to prepare the inhalable powders according to the invention, micronised active substance, preferably with an average particle size of 0.5 to 10 μm, more preferably from 1 to 5 μm, is added to the excipient mixture. Processes for producing the inhalable powders according to the invention by grinding and micronising and finally mixing the ingredients together are known from the prior art.
The inhalable powders according to the invention may be administered using inhalers known from the prior art.
The inhalation aerosols containing propellant gas according to the invention may contain dissolved in the propellant gas or in dispersed form. The propellant gases which may be used to prepare the inhalation aerosols are known from the prior art. Suitable propellant gases are selected from among hydrocarbons such as n-propane, n-butane or isobutane and halohydrocarbons such as fluorinated derivatives of methane, ethane, propane, butane, cyclopropane or cyclobutane. The above-mentioned propellant gases may be used on their own or in admixture. Particularly preferred propellant gases are halogenated alkane derivatives selected from TG134a and TG227 and mixtures thereof.
The propellant-driven inhalation aerosols may also contain other ingredients such as co-solvents, stabilisers, surfactants, antioxidants, lubricants and pH adjusters. All these ingredients are known in the art.
The propellant-driven inhalation aerosols mentioned above may be administered using inhalers known in the art (MDIs=metered dose inhalers).
The dosage of the compounds according to the invention is naturally highly dependent on the method of administration and the complaint which is being treated. When administered by inhalation the compounds of the formula are characterised by a high potency even at doses in the μg range. The compounds of the formula may also be used effectively above the μg range. The dosage may then be in the milligram range, for example.
In another aspect the present invention relates to the above-mentioned pharmaceutical formulations (compositions) as such, which are characterised in that they contain a compound of formula 1, in the above-mentioned pharmaceutical formulations administered by inhalation.
The following examples of formulations illustrate the present invention without restricting its scope:
