## Background
PRIORITY TO RELATED APPLICATIONS
This application claims the benefit of European Application No. 06112832.8, filed Apr. 20, 2006, which is hereby incorporated by reference in its entirety.
BACKGROUND
Proinflammatory chemokines are considered to be involved in the development of atherosclerosis and other important diseases with inflammatory components like rheumatoid arthritis, asthma, multiple sclerosis, transplant rejection and ischemia reperfusion injury with specific prominent effects in nephropathy and peripheral vascular diseases. Monocyte Chemotactic protein 1 is considered to be the major stimulated chemokine mediating inflammatory processes in these diseases through the CCR2 receptor on monocytes and on some T lymphocytes. In addition MCP-1/CCR2 are in discussion to be related to the progression of the metabolic syndrome to more severe stages of obese and diabetic diseases.
CCR2 has also been linked to HIV infection, and consequently the course of autoimmune diseases, through its heterodimerization with CCR5 which has a role as coreceptor for viral entry into host cells.
Thus, CCR2 can be a target of a new medicine for treatment of peripheral vascular diseases, and more specifically for treatment of patients with critical limb ischemia. Furthermore, study results and experiences from the development of a new CCR2 medicine for this indication may facilitate a follow-up development for treatment of atherosclerosis. There is a large body of information from animal models of MCP-1 and CCR2 ko mice in wt or apoE−/− or LDL-R−/− backgrounds showing that the MCP-1/CCR2 pathway is essential for monocyte/macrophage recruitment, and also for intimal hyperplasia and the formation and stability of atherosclerotic lesions. In addition, numerous reports describe involvement of the MCP-1/CCR2 pathway in man post injury and in various inflammatory processes, including such in vascular beds.

Further, the invention is concerned with a process and an intermediate for the manufacture of the above compounds, pharmaceutical preparations which contain such compounds, the use of these compounds for the production of pharmaceutical preparations.
The compounds of formula (I) are CCR2 receptor (Chemokine Receptor 2/Monocyte chemotactic protein 1 receptor) antagonists and also CCR-5 receptor (Chemokine Receptor 5) and/or CCR-3 receptor (Chemokine Receptor 3) antagonists. Chemokines are a family of small, secreted proinflammatory cytokines functioning as chemoattractants for leukocytes. They promote trafficking of leukocytes from vascular beds into surrounding tissues in response to inflammatory signals. Chemotaxis starts upon chemokine binding to receptors (GPCRs) by initiating signaling pathways involving increased Ca-flux, inhibition of cAMP production, rearrangements of the cytoskeleton, activation of integrins and of cell motility processes and an increase in the expression of adhesion proteins.


DETAILED DESCRIPTION
The present invention provides the novel compounds of formula (I) which are CCR2 receptor antagonists, with some antagonist activity also at CCR-3 and CCR-5.

“Pharmaceutically acceptable excipient” means an excipient that is useful in preparing a pharmaceutical composition that is generally safe, non-toxic and neither biologically nor otherwise undesirable, and includes excipient that is acceptable for veterinary use as well as human pharmaceutical use. A “pharmaceutically acceptable excipient” as used in the specification and claims includes both one and more than one such excipient.
Compounds that have the same molecular Formula but differ in the nature or sequence of bonding of their atoms or the arrangement of their atoms in space are termed “isomers.” Isomers that differ in the arrangement of their atoms in space are termed “stereoisomers”. Stereoisomers that are not mirror images of one another are termed “diastereomers” and those that are non-superimposable mirror images of each other are termed “enantiomers”. When a compound has an asymmetric center, for example, if a carbon atom is bonded to four different groups, a pair of enantiomers is possible. An enantiomer can be characterized by the absolute configuration of its asymmetric center and is described by the R- and S-sequencing rules of Cahn, Ingold and Prelog, or by the manner in which the molecule rotates the plane of polarized light and designated as dextrorotatory or levorotatory (i.e., as (+) or (−)-isomers respectively). A chiral compound can exist as either individual enantiomer or as a mixture thereof. A mixture containing equal proportions of the enantiomers is called a “racemic mixture”.
The compounds of formula (I) can possess one or more asymmetric centers. Unless indicated otherwise, the description or naming of a particular compound in the specification and claims is intended to include both individual enantiomers and mixtures, racemic or otherwise, thereof, as well as individual epimers and mixture thereof. The methods for the determination of stereochemistry and the separation of stereoisomers are well-known in the art (see discussion in Chapter 4 of “Advanced Organic Chemistry”, 4th edition J. March, John Wiley and Sons, New York, 1992).

General Synthetic Procedures

    
    


The compounds of the present invention can be prepared, for example, by the general synthetic procedures described below. Appropriate reaction conditions for the individual reaction steps are known to a person skilled in the art. Starting materials are either commercially available or can be prepared by methods known in the art.




In Scheme 1, PG means protecting group, such as BOC(tert-butyloxy carbonyl), Z(benzyloxy carbonyl). Y1 means bromide, iodide, mesylate or triflate, A, X, R3, R4, R5 and R6, m and n are as defined before. The same reactions described in scheme 1 can be performed with 1 being substituted with R5, R6, R8, R9, R10, R11, R12 and R13, as defined before.
Protected 5-oxo-[1,4]diazepanes 1 of scheme 1 are commercially available or can be synthesized by methods known in the art (see e.g. Dickerman, S. C.; Lindwall, H. G. Piperidone chemistry. I. Synthesis of 5-homopiperazinones. Journal of Organic Chemistry (1949), 14 530-6). R5, R6 can be introduced on a suitably protected 5-oxo-[1,4]diazepanes through deprotonation at low temperature and alkylation or fluorination followed by a second deprotonation and alkylation or fluorination, or can also be synthesized from the corresponding piperazinone (see e.g. Design and synthesis of combinatorial scaffolds-diazepinone and homopiperazine. Sun, Chung-Ming. Department of Chemistry, National Dong-Hwa University, Hualien, Taiwan. Letters in Drug Design & Discovery (2005), 2(1), 48-50). Y1 activated building block 2 is commercially available or can be synthesized as described below. The corresponding none activated precursor amines can be synthesized from acids via amide and reduction with methods known in the art, followed optionally by quaternisation. The corresponding acids are commercially available or can be synthesized from epsilon-hydroxy acids via R3 and then R4 alkylation followed optionally by [CH2]m-1 elongation. The Y1 for the amine can then be introduced by activation of the epsilon-hydroxyl group to Y1 (Y1═Cl, e.g. reaction of the alcohol with thionyl chloride in THF 0° C. to 50° C. gives the corresponding chloride). Deprotonation of protected 5-oxo-[1,4]diazepanes 1 in solvents like DMF with e.g. NaH as base at 0° C. to RT followed by reaction with building block 2 at 0° C. to 75° C., preferably 50° C. gives the protected intermediate 3 (step a). Deprotection (e.g. for BOC protected 3, with HCl in dioxane, in CH2Cl2 and methanol as solvents) gives intermediate 4 as hydrochloride salt (step b) which can be coupled with all possible acids 5 to give the final compound I (step c). Acid 5 can be activated e.g. with oxalyl chloride and catalytic amount of DMF to the ciannamic acid chloride and then reacted with amine 4 in the presence of a base like triethyl amine, or CDI activation DCC, HATU coupling are possible alternatives. Acids 5 can be synthesized from the corresponding aldehydes, or from the corresponding alcohols via oxidation and subsequent Wittig reaction or subsequent Knoevenagel reaction with malonate.
The compounds I with X═—N(R1)(R2) can optionally be converted to X═—N+(R1)(R2)(R3) with R3-halogenide in a solvent like methanol as described in scheme 5 shown below.




In Scheme 2, Y1 means bromide, iodide, mesylate or triflate, A, R1, R2, R3, R4, R5 and R6, m and n are as defined before. The same reactions described in scheme 2 can be performed with 1 being substituted with R5, R6, R8, R9, R10, R11, R12 and R13, as defined before.
The free 5-oxo-[1,4]diazepane 1 of scheme 2 is commercially available. R5, R6 can be introduced on a suitable protected 5-oxo-[1,4]diazepanes through deprotonation at low temperature and alkylation or fluorination followed by a second deprotonation and alkylation or fluorination, or can also be synthesized from the corresponding piperazinone (see e.g. Design and synthesis of combinatorial scaffolds-diazepinone and homopiperazine. Sun, Chung-Ming. Department of Chemistry, National Dong-Hwa University, Hualien, Taiwan. Letters in Drug Design & Discovery (2005), 2(1), 48-50). Acids 2 can be synthesized from the corresponding alcohols or aldehyde (via oxidation, for the alcohols) followed by Wittig reaction. Acid 2 can then be activated e.g. with oxalyl chloride and catalytic amount of DMF to the ciannamic acid chloride and then reacted with 5-oxo-[1,4]diazepanes 1 in the presence of a base like triethyl amine, alternatively CDI activation of the acid 2 or DCC or HATU coupling is possible to give intermediate 3 (step a). Y1 activated Weinreb building blocks 4a or 8a are synthesized from the corresponding acids by treatment with N,O-dimethyl-hydroxyl-amine-hydrochloride with EDCI and HOBT in CH2Cl2 at 0° C. to room temperature. The acids are commercial available or can be synthesized from epsilon-hydroxy acids via R3, R4 alkylation followed optionally by [CH2]m-1 elongation and activation of the hydroxyl group to Y1. The elongation reaction can also lead to aldehydes, which can be transformed to acetals 4b. Y1 activated acetals are also commercial available. Deprotonation of the 5-oxo-[1,4]diazepanes 3 in the presence of 4a, 4b or 8a, 8b in solvents like THF with e.g. NaH as base at 0° C. to RT and then at 50° C. to 75° C. gave intermediate 5a, 5b or 9a, 9b respectively (step b or e). In case of 3-bromo-N-methoxy-N-methyl-propionamide 4a, the first equivalent of NaH is forming the corresponding acrylamide which reacts after additional addition of NaH to the final amide 5a. An LAH— solution, preferable in THF was added to the cooled (preferable at −30° C.) suspension of amide 5a or 9a. After 5 to 15 min, the reaction was cooled (−78° C.) and quenched with acetone and acetic acid to give aldehyde 6 or 10. Aldehydes 6 and 10 are also received from acetal-protected 5b or 9b after cleavage with e.g. formic acid in a mixture of toluene water (step c or f). Reductive amination with R1R2NH in CH2Cl2 with a slight excess of acetic acid and NaHB(OAc)3 at room temperature gives the final compounds I (step d or g).
The compounds I with X═—N(R1)(R2) can optionally be converted to X═—N+(R1)(R2)(R3) with R3-halogenide in a solvent like methanol as described in scheme 5 shown below.




In Scheme 3, Y1 means bromide, iodide, mesylate or triflate, Y1 can be additionally tosylate, Y2 is chloride or ester, or when m is 1, R3, together with Y2 forms epoxy group or —O—C(CH3)2—O— group, Y2 can be additionally bromide or iodide, A, X, R1, R2, R3, R4, R5 and R6, m and n are as defined before. The same reactions described in scheme 3 can be performed with 1 being substituted with R5, R6, R8, R9, R10, R11, R12 and R13, as defined before.
The acylated 5-oxo-[1,4]diazepanes 1 of scheme 3 (corresponds to compound 3 described in scheme 2) can be reacted in two ways to the final compound I. Either directly, where building block 1 was deprotonated e.g. with NaH or potassium tert-butylate in DMA or THF at 0° C. to 65° C. and then reacted with the activated amine 2 (step a). Deprotonation can be carried out with potassium tert-butylate, and THF can be also used as a solvent. Amine 2 is commercially available or can be synthesized by methods known in the art. Amines can be synthesized from acids via amide and reduction to the corresponding amines 2 with methods known in the art followed optionally by quaternisation. The corresponding acids are commercial available or can be synthesized from suitably protected epsilon-hydroxy acids via R3 and then R4 alkylation followed optionally by [CH2]m-1 elongation or R3 modification (e.g. reduction of the ester to the alcohol and protecting it orthogaonal to the epsilon-hydroxy group or alkylation of the alcohol) and activation of the deprotected epsilon-hydroxyl group to Y1 (Y1═Cl, e.g. reaction of the alcohol with thionyl chloride in THF 0° C. to 50° C. gives the corresponding chloride, followed optionally by Finkelstein reaction to the corresponding Y1═Br or Y1═I). Amine 2 can also be synthesized from building block 3 when Y2 is more reactive than Y1 (e.g. Y2═Y1 but preferred reactivity through steric control with the corresponding amine 6). Another possibility is to react the deprotonated acylated 5-oxo-[1,4]diazepanes 1 with building block 3, where the Y1 and Y2 are groups as indicated in the scheme 3 to give intermediate 4 (step b). Building block 3 is commercial available or can be synthesized from epsilon-hydroxy acids via R3 and then R4 alkylation followed optionally by [CH2]m-1 elongation, optionally by introduction of Y2, which is a group with a lower reactivity than Y1. Transformation of the epsilon hydroxyl group to Y1 gives 3. For Y2=chloride, a better leaving group has to be synthesized via Finkelstein reaction (NaI in 2-butanone at 95° C.) to give compound 5 (step c). In case for Y2=ester, sodium borohydride reduction gives the alcohol, which is transferred to the chloride (methansulfonyl chloride/Et3N in CH2Cl2) to give 5 (Y2═Cl) (step c). Chloride can optionally be transformed to the iodide 5 (Y2═I) under Finkelstein conditions. Reaction of 5 with an optionally excess of amine 6 in the presence of NaI (for Y2═Cl) or optionally of Et3N, in DMF or DMA gives the final compound I (step d).
In case m is 1, R3, together with Y2 forms epoxy group and Y1═Br or I, building block 3 is an epoxide which reacts with 5-oxo-[1,4]diazepan 1 as described above to the corresponding epoxide 5 (R3 and Y2 form epoxy group and m is 1). Reaction with amine 6 in ethanol or with Cs2CO3 in DMF or DMA at RT to 80° C. gives the final compound I, which optionally can be separated on a chiral column in the enantiomers. Epoxides 3 are commercially available or can be synthesized from the corresponding alkenes with e.g. m-chloroperbenzoic acid in dichloromethane. For the chiral synthesis, the corresponding commercially available or synthesized chiral 2,2-dimethyl-[1,3]dioxalane 3 (—R3—Y2— is —O—C(Me)2-O—) was used. Acetal 4 (R3 and Y2 form —O—C(Me)2-O—) can be cleaved (Dowex H+ in methanol under reflux), mono mesylated (4, R3═OH, Y2═OMes) and in situ cyclised to the epoxide 5 (R3 and Y2 form epoxy group and m is 1; e.g. mesylchlorid and excess collidine, followed by addition of NaH in DMA at 0° C.). Epoxide 5 was then reacted with amine 6 in ethanol or with Cs2CO3 in DMF or DMA at 0° C. to 80° C. to give the final compound I. Compound I can further be modified (e.g. R3═COOC1-6 alkyl) by hydrolisis with LiOH in THF/ethanol to I (e.g. R3═COO−Li+) or reduction with NaBH4 in EtOH or NaBH4 in THF to I (e.g. R3═CH2OH). The amines HNR1R2 6 are commercial available or can be synthesized by methods known in the art. The Rd-substitution can be introduced or manipulated on the appropriate protected amine NR1R2. Hydroxy groups can be synthesized from ketones, both can be transformed either to mono or di-halogenides. The ketone group in the protected NR1R2 can be reacted with the metal reagent of C1-6 alkyl, phenyl, phenyl C1-3 alkyl, heteroaryl, heteroaryl C1-3 alkyl and heterocyclyl which are optionally substituted to give the tertiary alcohol. The tertiary alcohol can optionally be eliminated and the double bond hydrogenated to give the corresponding substituted protected NR1R2. Alternatively, the ketone group in the protected NR1R2 can be converted to an allylic alcohol via a two step sequence of Wittig reaction to the exomethylene and subsequent allylic oxidation using a suitable reagent e.g. SeO2 to afford the allylic alcohol (as described in J. Org. Chem. 2001, 66, 2487). The resulting allylic alcohol can then be cyclopropanated (e.g with Et2Zn/CH2Cl) to afford the cyclopropanated derivatives, which in turn can be reduced catalytically (e.g. Pt2O and hydrogen) to afford gem-dimethyl piperidines. Alternatively the cyclopropyl can be introduced directly by double alkylation of the alpha-position of the ketone group in the protected NR1R2 by deprotonation with a suitable base e.g. tBuOK, and reaction with a double nucleophile as described in Tet. Lett. 1984, 25, 5501. Subsequent reduction of the ketone with e.g. NaBH4 affords the alcohol derivatives. Additionally, spirocyclic derivatives can be prepared from such a suitably protected ketone bearing NR1R2 as described in J. Org. Chem. 1996, 61, 22, 7650-7651 and J. Med. Chem. 1995, 38, 3772-3779. Substitution on the C1-6 alkyl, phenyl, phenyl C1-3 alkyl, heteroaryl, heteroaryl C1-3 alkyl and heterocyclyl can be further manipulated as discussed below. Cyano groups can be synthesized from amides. RaRb in the NRaRb-substituent can be introduced through orthogonal protection strategy. C1-6 alkyl, halo C1-6 alkyl, hydroxy C1-6 alkyl, acyl can be introduced through enolate alkylation of keton or esters followed by optionally reduction of the ketone to the corresponding methylene group. C(O)NRaRb groups are synthesized from acids and amines HNRaRb, —NRa—C(O)—Rb from amines and acids HOOC—Rb, —NRa—C(O)—ORb from amines and chloro-formates Cl—C(O)—ORb, —NRa—C(O)—NRb from amines and isocyanates OCN—Rb (which can also be used to generate cyclic ureas as described in WO2005/101989 (A2) where Rb bears a leaving group), —NRa—SO2—Rb from amines and sulfonyl chlorides ClSO2—Rb, —NRa—SO2—NRbRc from amines and sulfamoyl chlorides which can be synthesized in acetonitrile with RbRcNH and sulfuryl chloride at 0° C. to 65° C. In case Ra is an alkyl side chain, this group may be introduced with NaH, Ra halide in DMF at 0° C. to room temperature. The Rd-substitution can also be introduced or transformed on the appropriate protected amine NR1R2 with hydroxy groups: the hydroxy group and isocyanates OCN—Rb gives —OC(O)NRaRb, the hydroxy group and chloro-formates Cl—C(O)—ORb gives —OC(O)ORb, the hydroxy group can be akylated. The hydroxy group can be mesylated and reacted with C1-6 alkylthiol, which can optionally be oxidized to C1-6 alkylsulfonyl- or C1-6 alkylsulfinyl-substituents. The mesylate in NR1R2 can also be reacted with amines HNRaRb, with NH of heteroaryls or heterocyclyl in the presence of a base. Alternatively, the Rd-substitution can also be introduced or transformed on the appropriate protected amine NR1R2 bearing an ester group, which on reaction with hydrazine at reflux in EtOH affords the corresponding hydrazide which can be then condensed with alkoxyamidines to afford 1,2,4-triazoloyl derivatives. Esters can also be reacted with N-hydroxy-amidines in THF with e.g. NaH as base to [1,2,4]oxadiazols. Acids can be reacted with hydrazides to di acylated hydrazides which can be cyclised with phosphoroxy chloride in acetonitrile to [1,3,4]oxadiazol. Nitriles can be transformed to the corresponding N-hydroxy-amidines and then transformed to the [1,2,4]oxadiazols. Additionally, the appropriately protected amine NR1R2 derivatives can be prepared from the corresponding pyridine derivatives by reduction to the piperidine under catalytic hydrogenation conditions e.g. Pt2O or Pd/C and hydrogen as described in WO2004/094371(A2) or by partial reduction of the corresponding pyridinium compounds (prepared by alkylation of the pyridine with a suitable alkylating reagent e.g. benzylbromide) with a suitable reducing agent e.g. NaBH4. The resulting olefins can then be hydroborated e.g. with borane and subsequent oxidative work up to introduce hydroxy groups stereospecifically as described in Tet. Lett. 2000, 41, 5817. Piperidines can also be prepared via condensation of benzylamine, with formaldehyde and the required ketone as described in WO 01/00577A2. The resulting ketopiperidines can be further derivatised as described previously.




The compounds I with X═—N(R1)(R2) can optionally be converted to X═—N+(R1)(R2)(R3) with R3-halogenide in a solvent like methanol as described in scheme 5 shown below.
In Scheme 4, PG means protecting group, such as BOC(tert-butyloxy carbonyl), Z(benzyloxy carbonyl). X is Cl and A, R1, R2, R3, R4, R5 and R6, m and n are as defined before. The same reactions described in scheme 4 can be performed with 1 being substituted with R5, R6, R8, R9, R10, R11, R12 and R13, as defined before.
An alternative method for the preparation of 5-oxo-[1,4]diazepanes I in which R2 and R4 are attached to form a heterocyclyl starts from a suitably protected ethylene diamine 1 (e.g. tert-butylcarbonyl), which after reductive amination with aldehyde of the type 2 under standard conditions (CH2Cl2, AcOH, NaBH(OAc)3) will generate amine 3 (step a in Scheme 4). In case of n=0, ketone 2 (e.g. benzylpiperidone) can be reductively aminated as described before or the intermediate imine can be treated with a metalo-R3, to introduce R3. Coupling of this amine 3 with an acryloyl chloride derivative 4 (Schotten-Baumann conditions) affords acrylamide derivative 5 (step b) which can then be cyclised to the diazepan 6 by treatment with a base in a polar solvent e.g. tBuOK in DMF (step c). For the introduction of R6, 6 (R6═H), can be deprotonated at low temperature and then be alkylated or fluorinated, to give the corresponding 6. This can then be elaborated as described earlier (e.g. scheme 1, compound 3 to I) to the desired final compounds I (step e and f).
This reaction sequence can also be used with amines 2, where R4 and R2 do not form a heterocyclyl ring.
The compounds I with X═—N(R1)(R2) can optionally be converted to X═—N+(R1)(R2)(R3) with R3-halogenide in a solvent like methanol as described in scheme 5 shown below.




In Scheme 5, A, R1, R2, R3, R4, R5 and R6, m and n are as defined before. The same reactions described in scheme 5 can be performed with 1 being substituted with R5, R6, R8, R9, R10, R11, R12 and R13, as defined before.




In Scheme 6, Y1 is bromide, iodide, mesylate, tosylate or triflate, A, X, R1, R2, R3, R4, R5, R6, R8, R9, R10, R11, R12 and R13 and n are as defined before.
In case R3═COOC1-6 alkyl, m=1, building block 2 can be an acrylate which reacts with 5-oxo-[1,4]diazepane 1 in the presence of NaH in DMF or DMA at 0° C. to RT to give intermediate 3. Reaction with amine 4 in acetonitrile with Cs2CO3 at RT gives the final compound I, which optionally can be separated on a chiral column in the enantiomers. Amines 4 are commercial available or can be synthesized as described above. R4 can be introduced at low temperatures via deprotonation and alkylation with a R4-halide. Compound I can further be modified (e.g. R3═COOC1-6 alkyl) by hydrolysis with LiOH in THF/ethanol to I (e.g. R3═COO−Li+) or reduction with NaBH4 in EtOH or LiBH4 in THF to I (e.g. R3═CH2OH).
[1,4]-Diazepan-5-ones intermediates of general formula 1 can be synthesized from 1-benzylpiperidin-4-ones of formula 2, as illustrated in Scheme 7. Compounds of formula 2 are either commercially available or can be synthesized according to methods described in the art (e. g., Heterocycles 1987, 26, 2165). Schmidt rearrangement or Beckmann rearrangement of 2 (J. Org. Chem. 1949, 14, 530) leads to 1-benzyl-[1,4]-diazepan-5-one 3. In the case of unsymmetrically substituted piperidin-4-ones 2, the rearrangement reaction may lead to a mixture of regioisomeric products, which can be separated e. g., by crystallization or chromatography. Finally, 1 is obtained from 3 through hydrogenation at pressures of 1-10 bar, preferably at room temperature, in a solvent such as methanol or ethanol, in the presence of a suitable catalyst such as palladium on activated charcoal.




In Scheme 7, R5, R6, R8, R9, R10, R11, R12 and R13 are as defined before. [1,4]-diazepan-5-ones of general formula 1 can also be synthesized as described in Scheme 8 from N-(benzyloxycarbonyl)-β-amino acid esters 2 (Ra=methyl or ethyl). Compounds of general formula 2 are either commercially available or may be synthesized according to literature methods (e. g., Tetrahedron 2005, 61, 8372). Reaction of 2 with appropriately substituted 2,2-dioxo[1,2,3]oxathiazolidine-3-carboxylic acid tert-butyl esters 3 (Bioorg. Med. Chem. Lett. 2006, 16, 1207) in the presence of a base, e. g., potassium tert-butylate or sodium hydride, in a solvent such as 2,2-dimethylpropan-1-ol or N,N-dimethylformamide, at temperatures between 0° C. and 60° C., produces intermediate 4. Cleavage of the Boc protective group (e. g., with hydrogen chloride in 1,4-dioxane or trifluoroacetic acid in dichloromethane), followed by intramolecular ring closure (in the presence of a base such as potassium carbonate, in a solvent such as methanol or ethanol, at temperatures between 0° C. and the boiling point of the solvent), furnishes the [1,4]-diazepan-5-one-1-carboxylic acid benzyl ester 5. The benzyl carbamate group of 5 is removed by hydrogenation at pressures of 1-10 bar, preferably at room temperature, in the presence of a suitable catalyst such as palladium on activated charcoal, thereby leading to 1.




In Scheme 8, R5, R6, R8, R9, R10, R11, R12 and R13 are as defined before. [1,4]-diazepan-5-ones of general formula 1 can also be synthesized as described in Scheme 9 from Boc-protected 1,2-diaminoethane derivative 2. Reaction of 2 with 2-propenoic acid ester derivative 3 (Ra=methyl or ethyl) in the presence of a base, e. g., sodium hydride or potassium tert-butylate, in a solvent such as N,N-dimethylformamide, leads to [1,4]-diazepan-5-one-1-tert-butyl ester 4. Substituents R6 can be introduced as described in Scheme 1, leading to 5. Finally, cleavage of the tert-butyl carbamate moiety in 5 (e. g., with hydrogen chloride in 1,4-dioxane or trifluoroacetic acid in dichloromethane) leads to 1.




In Scheme 8, R5, R6, R8, R9, R10, R11, R12 and R13 are as defined before.
Compounds of formula I can have one or more asymmetric carbon atoms and can exist in the form of optically pure enantiomers, mixtures of enantiomers such as, for example, racemates, optically pure diastereoisomers, mixtures of diastereoisomers, diastereoisomeric racemates or mixtures of diastereoisomeric racemates. The optically active forms can be obtained for example by resolution of the racemates, by asymmetric synthesis or asymmetric chromatography (chromatography with a chiral adsorbants or eluent). The invention embraces all of these forms.
As described above, the compounds of formula (I) are CCR-2 receptor antagonists, with some antagonist activity also at CCR-3 and CCR-5. These compounds consequently prevent migration of various leukocyte populations through the blockade of CCR-2 stimulation. They therefore can be used for the treatment and/or prevention of inflammatory and/or allergic diseases, such as peripheral arterial occlusive disease, critical limb ischemia, vulnerable atherosclerotic plaque patients, unstable angina, congestive heart failure, left ventricular hypertrophy, ischemia reperfusion injury, stroke, cardiomyopathy, restenosis, rheumatoid arthritis, diabetic nephropathy, irritable Bowel Disease, Crohns' disease, multiple sclerosis, neuropathic pain, atherothrombosis and/or burns/ulcers in Diabetes/CLI, and asthma.
Prevention and/or treatment of inflammatory diseases, particularly peripheral arterial occlusive diseases or atherothrombosis is the preferred indication.
The invention therefore also relates to pharmaceutical compositions comprising a compound as defined above and a pharmaceutically acceptable excipient.
The invention likewise embraces compounds as described above for use as therapeutically active substances, especially as therapeutically active substances for the treatment and/or prophylaxis of inflammatory and/or allergic diseases, particularly as therapeutically active substances for the treatment and/or prophylaxis of peripheral arterial occlusive disease, critical limb ischemia, vulnerable atherosclerotic plaque patients, unstable angina, congestive heart failure, left ventricular hypertrophy, ischemia reperfusion injury, stroke, cardiomyopathy, restenosis, rheumatoid arthritis, diabetic nephropathy, irritable Bowel Disease, Crohns' disease, multiple sclerosis, neuropathic pain, atherothrombosis, burns/ulcers in Diabetes/CLI, and allergy, asthma.
The invention also relates to the use of compounds as described above for the preparation of medicaments for the therapeutic and/or prophylactic treatment of inflammatory and/or allergic diseases, particularly for the therapeutic and/or prophylactic treatment of peripheral arterial occlusive disease, critical limb ischemia, vulnerable atherosclerotic plaque patients, unstable angina, congestive heart failure, left ventricular hypertrophy, ischemia reperfusion injury, stroke, cardiomyopathy, restenosis, rheumatoid arthritis, diabetic nephropathy, irritable Bowel Disease, Crohns' disease, multiple sclerosis, neuropathic pain, atherothrombosis, burns/ulcers in Diabetes/CLI, and asthma. Such medicaments comprise a compound as described above.
The invention also relates to the process and the intermediates for manufacturing the compounds of formula (I) as well as the process for manufacturing the intermediates.
CCR-2 receptor antagonistic activity by the compounds of the present invention can be demonstrated by the following assays.
Receptor Binding Assays
Binding assays were done with membranes from CHOK1-CCR2B-A5 cells (Euroscreen) stably overexpressing the human CCR2B.
Membranes were prepared by homogenizing the cells in 10 mM Tris pH 7.4, 1 mM EDTA, 0.05 mM benzamidine, leupeptin 6 mg/L and separating the debris at 1000 g. The membranes were then isolated at 100000 g in 50 mM Tris pH 7.4, MgCl2 10 mM, EGTA 1 mM, glycerol 10%, benzamidine 0.05 mM, leupeptine 6 mg/l.
For binding, CCR2 antagonist compounds were added in various concentrations in 50 mM HEPES pH 7.2, 1 mM CaCl2, 5 mM MgCl2, 0.5% BSA, 0.01% NaN3, together with 100 pM 125I-MCP-1 (PerkinElmer, 2200 Ci/mmol) to about 5 fMol CCR2 membranes and incubated for 1 hour at room temperature. For unspecific control 57.7 nM MCP-1 (R&D Systems or prepared at Roche) was added. Membranes were harvested through GF/B (glass fiber filter; PerkinElmer) plates, equilibrated with 0.3% polyethylenimine, 0.2% BSA, air dried and binding was determined by counting in a topcounter (NXT Packard). Specific binding was defined as total binding minus nonspecific binding and typically represents about 90-95% of the total binding. Antagonist activity is indicated as inhibitor concentration required for 50% inhibition (IC50) of specific binding.
Calcium Mobilization Assay
CHOK1-CCR2B-A5 cells (from Euroscreen) stably overexpressing the human chemokine receptor 2 isoform B were cultured in Nutrient Hams F12 medium supplemented with 5% FBS, 100 U/ml penicillin, 100 μg/ml streptomycin, 400 μg/ml G418 and 5 μg/ml puromycin.
For the assay cells were grown overnight in 384-well black clear flat bottom polystyrene plates (Costar) at 37° C. at 5% CO2. After washing with DMEM, 20 mM Hepes, 2.5 mM probenecid, 0.1% BSA (DMEM assay buffer) cells were loaded with 4 μM Fluo-4 in the same DMEM assay buffer for 2 hours at 30° C. Excess dye was removed and cells were washed with DMEM assay buffer. 384-well compound plates were prepared with DMEM assay buffer/0.5% DMSO with or without various concentrations of test compounds. Usually compounds were tested for agonist and antagonist activity.
Test compounds were added to the assay plate and agonist activity was monitored as fluorescence for 80 seconds with a FLIPR (488 nm excitation; 510-570 nm emission; Molecular Devices). After 20-30 min. of incubation at 30° C., 20 nM MCP-1 (R&D; Roche) was added and fluorescence was monitored again for 80 seconds. Increases in intracellular calcium are reported as maximum fluorescence after agonist exposure minus basal fluorescence before exposure. Antagonist activity is indicated as inhibitor concentration required for 50% inhibition of specific calcium increases.
The compounds I of the present invention exhibit IC50 values in the Ca mobilisation assay of 1 nM to 10 μM, preferably 1 nM to 1.5 μM for CCR2. The following table shows measured values for some selected compounds of the present invention.

Chemotaxis Assay

The chemotaxis assay was performed with THP1-4x cells (Mirzadegan et al. 2000, The Journal of Biological Chemistry 275, 33, 25562-25571) similar as described earlier (Kruszynski et al. 2005, Journal of Peptide Science, in press.).
THP1-4x were cultured in RPMI1640, 2 mM L-glutamine, 0.15% Na-bicarbonat, 0.25% D-glucose, 10 mM Hepes, 100 mM Na-pyruvate, 50 mM β-mercaptoethanol, 10% FBS. Isolated cells were labelled in culture medium with 2.5 μg/ml calcein-AM (Molecular Probes) for 60 minutes at 37° C. Excess calcein was removed and cells were washed in D-PBS++, 2% FBS.
Cells (1×105) with or without various concentrations of test compounds were loaded on the top of 8-μm polycarbonate filter in a 96-well-modified Boyden chamber (NeuroProbe). Beneath the filter 10 nM MCP-1 (R&D Systems; Roche) with or without test compounds or D-PBS++, 2% FBS was placed in the corresponding well. The closed chambers were incubated for 1 hour at 37° C., 5% CO2. Remaining cells in the top compartment were wiped off and migrated cells were measured as fluorescence in the bottom compartment in a FLUOstar (Galaxy BMG) at 485 nm excitation and 530 nm emission. Specific migration is defined as total migration towards MCP-1 minus the background migration towards D-PBS++, 2% FBS. The ability of test compounds to antagonize CCR2-chemotaxis is reported as concentration required to inhibit 50% of specific migration (IC50) towards MCP-1.
The compounds I of the present invention exhibit IC50 values in the chemotaxis assay of 1 nM to 10 μM, preferably 1 nM to 250 nM for CCR2. The following table shows measured values for some selected compounds of the present invention.

The compounds of formula (I) and/or their pharmaceutically acceptable salts can be used as medicaments, e.g. in the form of pharmaceutical preparations for enteral, parenteral or topical administration. They can be administered, for example, perorally, e.g. in the form of tablets, coated tablets, dragees, hard and soft gelatine capsules, solutions, emulsions or suspensions, rectally, e.g. in the form of suppositories, parenterally, e.g. in the form of injection solutions or suspensions or infusion solutions, or topically, e.g. in the form of ointments, creams or oils. Oral administration is preferred.
The production of the pharmaceutical preparations can be effected in a manner which will be familiar to any person skilled in the art by bringing the described compounds of formula I and/or their pharmaceutically acceptable salts, optionally in combination with other therapeutically valuable substances, into a galenical administration form together with suitable, non-toxic, inert, therapeutically compatible solid or liquid carrier materials and, if desired, usual pharmaceutical adjuvants.
Suitable carrier materials are not only inorganic carrier materials, but also organic carrier materials. Thus, for example, lactose, corn starch or derivatives thereof, talc, stearic acid or its salts can be used as carrier materials for tablets, coated tablets, dragees and hard gelatine capsules. Suitable carrier materials for soft gelatine capsules are, for example, vegetable oils, waxes, fats and semi-solid and liquid polyols (depending on the nature of the active ingredient no carriers might, however, be required in the case of soft gelatine capsules). Suitable carrier materials for the production of solutions and syrups are, for example, water, polyols, sucrose, invert sugar. Suitable carrier materials for injection solutions are, for example, water, alcohols, polyols, glycerol and vegetable oils. Suitable carrier materials for suppositories are, for example, natural or hardened oils, waxes, fats and semi-liquid or liquid polyols. Suitable carrier materials for topical preparations are glycerides, semi-synthetic and synthetic glycerides, hydrogenated oils, liquid waxes, liquid paraffins, liquid fatty alcohols, sterols, polyethylene glycols and cellulose derivatives.
Usual stabilizers, preservatives, wetting and emulsifying agents, consistency-improving agents, flavour-improving agents, salts for varying the osmotic pressure, buffer substances, solubilizers, colorants and masking agents and antioxidants come into consideration as pharmaceutical adjuvants.
The dosage of the compounds of formula (I) can vary within wide limits depending on the disease to be controlled, the age and the individual condition of the patient and the mode of administration, and will, of course, be fitted to the individual requirements in each particular case (therapeutically effective amount). For adult patients a daily dosage of about 1 to 1000 mg, especially about 1 to 300 mg, comes into consideration. Depending on severity of the disease and the precise pharmacokinetic profile the compound could be administered with one or several daily dosage units, e.g. in 1 to 3 dosage units.
The pharmaceutical preparations conveniently contain about 1-500 mg, preferably 1-100 mg, of a compound of formula (I).
The following Examples serve to illustrate the present invention in more detail. They are, however, not intended to limit its scope in any manner.
