## Background
PRIORITY TO RELATED APPLICATION(S)
This application claims the benefit of International Patent Application PCT/CN2011/079673, which is hereby incorporated by reference in its entirety.
FIELD OF THE INVENTION
The present invention relates to organic compounds useful for therapy or prophylaxis in a mammal, and in particular to aldosterone synthase (CYP11B2 or CYP11B1) inhibitors for the treatment or prophylaxis of chronic kidney disease, congestive heart failure, hypertension, primary aldosteronism and Cushing syndrome.
BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION
Herein we describe inhibitors of aldosterone synthase that have the potential to protect from organ/tissue damage caused by an absolute or relative excess of aldosterone. Hypertension affects about 20% of the adult population in developed countries. In persons 60 years and older, this percentage increases to above 60%. Hypertensive subjects display an increased risk of other physiological complications including stroke, myocardial infarction, atrial fibrillation, heart failure, peripheral vascular disease and renal impairment. The renin angiotensin aldosterone system is a pathway that has been linked to hypertension, volume and salt balance and more recently to contribute directly to end organ damage in advanced stages of heart failure or kidney disease. ACE inhibitors and angiotensin receptor blockers (ARBs) are successfully used to improve duration and quality of life of patients. These drugs are not yielding maximum protection. In a relatively large number of patients ACE and ARB's lead to so-called aldosterone breakthrough, a phenomenon where aldosterone levels, after a first initial decline, return to pathological levels. It has been demonstrated that the deleterious consequences of inappropriately increased aldosterone levels (in relation to salt intake/levels) can be minimized by aldosterone blockade with mineralocorticoid receptor antagonists. A direct inhibition of aldosterone synthesis is expected to provide even better protection as it will also reduce non-genomic effects of aldosterone as well.
The effects of aldosterone on Na/K transport lead to increased re-absorption of sodium and water and the secretion of potassium in the kidneys. Overall this results in increased blood volume and, therefore, increased blood pressure. Beyond its role in the regulation of renal sodium re-absorption aldosterone can exert deleterious effects on the kidney, the heart and the vascular system especially in a “high sodium” context. It has been shown that under such conditions aldosterone leads to increased oxidative stress which ultimately may contribute to organ damage. Infusion of aldosterone into renally compromised rats (either by high salt treatment or by unilaterally nephrectomy) induces a wide array of injuries to the kidney including glomerular expansion, podocyte injury, interstitial inflammation, mesangial cell proliferation and fibrosis reflected by proteinuria. More specifically aldosterone was shown to increase the expression of the adhesion molecule ICAM-1 in the kidney. ICAM-1 is critically involved in glomerular inflammation. Similarly, aldosterone was shown to increase the expression of inflammatory cytokines, such as interleukin IL-1b and IL-6, MCP-1 and osteopontin. On a cellular level it was demonstrated that in vascular fibroblasts aldosterone increased the expression of type I collagen mRNA, a mediator of fibrosis. Aldosterone also stimulates type IV collagen accumulation in rat mesangial cells and induces plasminogen activator inhibitor-1 (PAI-1) expression in smooth muscle cells. In summary aldosterone has emerged as a key hormone involved in renal damage. Aldosterone plays an equally important role in mediating cardiovascular risk.
There is ample preclinical evidence that MR-antagonists (spironolactone and eplerenone) improve blood pressure, cardiac and renal function in various pre-clinical models.
More recently preclinical studies highlight the important contribution of CYP11B2 to cardiovascular and renal morbidity and mortality. The CYP11B2 inhibitor FAD286 and the MR antagonist spironolactone were evaluated in a rat model of chronic kidney disease (high angiotensin II exposure; high salt and uni-nephrectomy). Angiotensin II and high salt treatment caused albuminuria, azotemia, renovascular hypertrophy, glomerular injury, increased PAI-1, and osteopontin mRNA expression, as well as tubulointerstitial fibrosis. Both drugs prevented these renal effects and attenuated cardiac and aortic medial hypertrophy. Following 4 weeks of treatment with FAD286, plasma aldosterone was reduced, whereas spironolactone increased aldosterone at 4 and 8 weeks of treatment. Similarly only spironolactone but not FAD286 enhanced angiotensin II and salt-stimulated PAI-1 mRNA expression in the aorta and the heart. In other studies the CYP11B2 inhibitor FAD286 improved blood pressure and cardiovascular function and structure in rats with experimental heart failure. In the same studies FAD286 was shown to improve kidney function and morphology.
Administration of an orally active CYP11B2 inhibitor, LCI699, to patients with primary aldosteronism, lead to the conclusion that it effectively inhibits CYP11B2 in patients with primary aldosteronism resulting in significantly lower circulating aldosterone levels and that it corrected the hypokalemia and mildly decreased blood pressure. The effects on the glucocorticoid axis were consistent with a poor selectivity of the compound and a latent inhibition of cortisol synthesis. Taken together these data support the concept that a CYP11B2 inhibitor can lower inappropriately high aldosterone levels. Achieving good selectivity against CYP11B1 is important to be free of undesired side effects on the HPA axis and will differentiate different CYP11B2 inhibitors.

The compounds of the present invention can also contain unnatural proportions of atomic isotopes at one or more of the atoms that constitute such compounds. For example, the present invention also embraces isotopically-labeled variants of the present invention which are identical to those recited herein, but for the fact that one or more atoms are replaced by an atom having the atomic mass or mass number different from the predominant atomic mass or mass number usually found in nature for the atom. All isotopes of any particular atom or element as specified are contemplated within the scope of the compounds of the invention, and their uses. Exemplary isotopes that can be incorporated in to compounds of the invention include isotopes of hydrogen, carbon, nitrogen, oxygen, phosphorous, sulfur, fluorine, chlorine and iodine, such as 2H (“D”), 3H (“T”), 11C, 13C, 14C, 13N, 15N, 15O, 17O, 18O, 32P, 33P, 35S, 18F, 36Cl, 123I and 125I. Certain isotopically labeled compounds of the present invention (e.g., those labeled with 3H or 14C) are useful in compound and/or substrate tissue distribution assays. Tritiated (3H) and carbon-14 (14C) isotopes are useful for their ease of preparation and detectability. Further substitution with heavier isotopes such as deuterium (i.e., 2H) may afford certain therapeutic advantages resulting from greater metabolic stability (e.g., increased in vivo half-life or reduced dosage requirements) and hence may be preferred in some circumstances. Positron emitting isotopes such as 15O, 13N, 11C, and 18F are useful for positron emission tomography (PET) studies to examine substrate receptor occupancy. Isotopically labeled compounds of the present inventions can generally be prepared by following procedures analogous to those disclosed in the Schemes and/or in the Examples herein below, by substituting a non-isotopically labeled reagent with a isotopically labeled reagent. In particular, compounds of formula (I) wherein one or more H atom have been replaced by a 2H atom are also an embodiment of this invention.
The compounds of formula (I) can contain several asymmetric centers and can be present in the form of optically pure enantiomers, mixtures of enantiomers such as, for example, racemates, optically pure diastereioisomers, mixtures of diastereoisomers, diastereoisomeric racemates or mixtures of diastereoisomeric racemates.
According to the Cahn-Ingold-Prelog Convention the asymmetric carbon atom can be of the “R” or “S” configuration.

Lactam compounds 1 (Scheme 1a) are known or can be prepared by methods described herein or known to the man skilled in the art (see also Scheme 1b for alternative syntheses of compounds 5 and 7); compounds 1 can be alkylated at nitrogen using a base like sodium hydride or sodium or potassium tert-butoxide, followed by addition of an alkylating agent of formula R1—X, wherein Y is halogen, tosylate or mesylate, in a solvent like DMF or THF preferably in a temperature range between 0° C. and about 80° C. giving N-alkylated lactams 2 (step a).

Linkera=—Om—(CR9R10)n—(CR11R12)p—(CR13R14)q—, NmR17—(CR9R10)n—(CR11R12)p—(CR13R14)q— or —Sm(O)r—(CR9R10)n—(CR11R12)p—(CR13R14)q—;
Linkerb=—Om—(CR9R10)n—(CR11R12)p—, —NmR17—(CR9R10)n—(CR11R12)p— or —Sm(O)r—(CR9R10)n—(CR11R12)p—;
Linkerc=—Om—(CR9R10)n—, —NmR17—(CR9R10)n— or —Sm(O)n—(CR9R10)n—.
Compounds 101 (Scheme 2a) carrying an aliphatic Linkera react with amino compounds 102 either per se or after anion formation e.g. with sodium hydride in solvents like N,N′-dimethylformamide in a temperature range between 0° C. and about 100° C. to form adducts 103 (step a). Compounds 101 in which Linkera is absent react with amino compounds 102 (R16 is H, alkyl, haloalkyl, cycloalkyl, halocycloalkyl, hydroxyalkyl, alkoxyalkyl, haloalkoxyalkyl, phenylalkyl, substituted phenylalkyl, aryl, substituted aryl, heterocycloalkyl, substituted heterocycloalkyl, heteroaryl or substituted heteroaryl) either directly in the presence of a base like Hunig's base in a solvent like butanol and elevated temperature or by using Pd(0)-catalyzed amination reactions (Buchwald-Hartwig coupling) under an inert atmosphere such as argon or nitrogen in the presence of a palladium catalyst such as tris(dibenzylideneacetone)dipalladium(0) (Pd2(dba)3) or palladium(II) acetate (Pd(COOCH3)2), a phosphine ligand like triphenylphosphine, rac-2,2′-bis(diphenylphosphino)-1,1′-binaphthalene (rac-BINAP) or (R)-(−)-1-[(S)-2-(dicyclohexylphosphino)ferrocenyl]ethyldi-tert-butylphosphine and a base such as Cs2CO3 or KOtert-Bu in a solvent like toluene, ethanol or water or mixtures thereof at room temperature or elevated temperatures, whereby heating might be achieved conventionally or by microwave irradiation to give substituted adducts 103 in which Linkera is absent (step a).
Compounds 101 in which Linkera is absent react with amino compounds 102 (R16 is —S(O)2R18, —S(O)2OR18, —S(O)2NR18R19, —C(O)R18, —C(O)OR18 or —C(O)NR18R19) in solvents like 1,4-dioxane, in the presence of copper (I) iodide, potassium or cesium carbonate, and a chelating 1,2-diamino compound like N,N′-dimethylethylenediamine or trans-1,2-diamino-hexane, at elevated temperatures, preferable with the aide of microwave heating to give substituted adducts 103 in which Linkera is absent (step a).

Aldehydes and ketones 106 react in Horner-Emmons reactions using e.g. reagents like dimethyl(methoxycarbonyl)methylphosphonate, optionally carrying an additional R13 substituted at the methylene group, and a base like sodium hydride in a solvent like tetrahydrofuran preferable between about 0° C. and the reflux temperature of the solvent to give unsaturated esters 107 (step c). Reduction of the double bond in unsaturated esters 107 can be performed e.g. by using a mixture of nickel chloride and sodiumborohydride as reducing agents in solvents like methanol preferably between about 0° C. and room temperature leading to ester compounds 108 (step d). Alpha mono- or di-substituted esters 109 can be synthesized from esters 108, by treatment with a base like LDA or HMDS in solvents like tetrahydrofuran or 1,2-dimethoxyethane, followed by addition of one or sequentially two different alkyl halides, a reaction preferably performed between −78° C. and room temperature (step e). Esters 109 can be further transformed into amino compounds 110 suitable to function as compounds 4 or 6 in Scheme 1, e.g. by amide formation with ammonia in methanol around room temperature, Hofmann rearrangement, treatment with sodium hydroxide, and bromine in a solvent like ethanol preferably between about 0° C. and the reflux temperature of the solvent and subsequent introduction of R15 and R16 substituents (steps f, g, h) by methods known to the man skilled in the art.
Amino compounds 110 can also be obtained by hydrolysis of esters 109 to the corresponding acids followed by treatment with diphenylphosphoryl azide, TEA in a solvent like toluene preferably at reflux and subsequent treatment with e.g. sodium trimethylsilanoate in a solvent like THF preferably around RT followed by subsequent introduction of R15 and R16 substituents (steps f, g, h) by methods known to the man skilled in the art.
Di-halogen or di-triflate substituted heteroaromatic compounds 111 (Scheme 2b) react with unsaturated boronic acid derivatives 112 under Suzuki conditions as described in Scheme 1, step c, to adducts 113 (step i). Removal of the double bond in compounds 113 e.g. by catalytic hydrogenation, followed by additional standard synthetic modifications transforms compounds 113 into synthons 114 (step k).
Reaction of compounds 111 with amino compounds 115, performed under conditions as described for the transformation of compounds 101 in which Linkera is absent into compounds 103, is giving compounds 116 or 117 (step 1). Compounds 116 can be transformed by additional standard synthetic modifications into synthons 117 (step m).
Phenols or thiophenols 118 react with alcohols 119 under Mitsunobu conditions e.g. with triphenylphosphine and di-tert-butyl-, diisopropyl-, diethyl-azodicarboxylate or di-(4-chlorobenzyl)azodicarboxylate as reagents in solvents like toluene, dichloromethane or tetrahydrofuran preferably at ambient temperature to give adducts 120 or 121 (step n). Compounds 120 can be transformed by additional modifications into synthons 121, such modifications include oxidation at sulfur to the respective sulfoxide or sulfone e.g. by using m-chloroperbenzoic acid (step o).

Assay Procedures
Herein we identified the use of the G-402 cell line as a host cell to ectopically express (transiently or stably) enzymes of the CYP11 family. Specifically we developed stable G-402 cells expressing ectopically human CYP11B1, human CYP11B2, human CYP11A1, cynomolgus CYP11B1 or cynomolgus CYP11B2 enzyme activity. Importantly the identified cell line G-402 expresses co-factors (adrenodoxin and adrenodoxin reductase) important for the activity of the CYP11 family and no relevant enzyme activity of the CYP11 family (in comparison to H295R cells) was detected in these cells. Therefore the G-402 cell line is uniquely suited as a host cell for the ectopic expression of enzymes from the CYP11 family.
G-402 cells can be obtained from ATCC(CRL-1440) and were originally derived from a renal leiomyoblastoma.
The expression plasmids contains the ORF for either human/cyno CYP11B1 or CYP11B2 under the control of a suitable promoter (CMV-promoter) and a suitable resistance marker (neomycin). Using standard techniques the expression plasmid is transfected into G-402 cells and these cells are then selected for expressing the given resistance markers. Individual cell-clones are then selected and assessed for displaying the desired enzymatic activity using 11-Deoxycorticosterone (Cyp11B2) or 11-Deoxycortisol (Cyp11B1) as a substrate.
G-402 cells expressing CYP11 constructs were established as described above and maintained in McCoy's 5a Medium Modified, ATCC Catalog No. 30-2007 containing 10% FCS and 400 μg/ml G418 (Geneticin) at 37° C. under an atmosphere of 5% CO2/95% air. Cellular enzyme assays were performed in DMEM/F12 medium containing 2.5% charcoal treated FCS and appropriate concentration of substrate (0.3-10 uM 11-Deoxycorticosterone, 11-Deoxycortisol or Corticosterone). For assaying enzymatic activity, cells were plated onto 96 well plates and incubated for 16 h. An aliquot of the supernatant is then transferred and analyzed for the concentration of the expected product (Aldosterone for CYP11B2; Cortisol for CYP11B1). The concentrations of these steroids can be determined using HTRF assays from CisBio analyzing either Aldosterone or Cortisol.
Inhibition of the release of produced steroids can be used as a measure of the respective enzyme inhibition by test compounds added during the cellular enzyme assay. The dose dependent inhibition of enzymatic activity by a compound is calculated by means of plotting added inhibitor concentrations (x-axes) vs. measured steroid/product level (y-axes). The inhibition is then calculated by fitting the following 4-parameter sigmoidal function (Morgan-Mercer-Flodin (MMF) model) to the raw data points using the least squares method:




  y
  =
  
    
      AB
      +
      
        Cx
        D
      
    
    
      B
      +
      
        x
        D
      
    
  




wherein, A is the maximum y value, B is the EC50 factor determined using XLFit, C is the minimum y value and D is the slope value.

The maximum value A corresponds to the amount of steroid produced in the absence of an inhibitor, the value C corresponds to the amount of steroid detected when the enzyme is fully inhibited.
EC50 values for compounds claimed herein were tested with the G402-based assay system described. Cyp11B2 enzyme activity was tested in presence of 1 μM Deoxycorticosterone and variable amounts of inhibitors; Cyp11B1 enzyme activity was tested in presence of 1 μM Deoxycortisol and variable amounts of inhibitors.
