BACKGROUND
1. Field
This disclosure relates generally to compounds, pharmaceutical compositions and methods of use of the compounds and compositions containing them. This disclosure relates more particularly to certain substituted pyridine compounds and pharmaceutical compositions thereof, and to methods of treating and preventing metabolic disorders such as type II diabetes, atherosclerosis and cardiovascular disease using certain substituted pyridine compounds.
2. Technical Background
The kinase 5′-AMP-activated protein kinase (AMPK) is well established as an important sensor and regulator of cellular energy homeostasis. Being a multi-substrate enzyme, AMPK regulates a variety of metabolic processes, such as glucose transport, glycolysis and lipid metabolism. It acts as a sensor of cellular energy homeostasis and is activated in response to certain hormones and muscle contraction as well as to intracellular metabolic stress signals such as exercise, ischemia, hypoxia and nutrient deprivation. Once activated, AMPK switches on catabolic pathways (such as fatty acid oxidation and glycolysis) and switches off ATP-consuming pathways (such as lipogenesis). Activation of the AMPK pathway improves insulin sensitivity by directly stimulating glucose uptake in adipocytes and muscle and by increasing fatty acid oxidation in liver and muscle, resulting in reduced circulating fatty acid levels and reduced intracellular triglyceride contents. Moreover, activation of the AMPK pathway decreases glycogen concentration by reducing the activity of glycogen synthase. Activation of the AMPK pathway also plays a protective role against inflammation and atherosclerosis. It suppresses the expression of adhesion molecules in vascular endothelial cells and cytokine production from macrophages, thus inhibiting the inflammatory processes that occur during the early phases of atherosclerosis.
What is needed are compounds, pharmaceutical compositions and methods of using them to treat disease states wherein AMPK activation is beneficial, such as type II diabetes, atherosclerosis and cardiovascular disease.

For simplicity, chemical moieties are defined and referred to throughout primarily as univalent chemical moieties (for example, alkyl, aryl, etc.). Nevertheless, such terms are also used to convey corresponding multivalent moieties under the appropriate structural circumstances clear to those skilled in the art. For example, while an “alkyl” moiety can refer to a monovalent radical (for example CH3—CH2—), in some circumstances a bivalent linking moiety can be “alkyl,” in which case those skilled in the art will understand the alkyl to be a divalent radical (for example the C2 alkylene —CH2—CH2— may be described as a C2 alkyl group), which is equivalent to the term “alkylene.” (Similarly, in circumstances in which a divalent moiety is required and is stated as being “aryl,” those skilled in the art will understand that the term “aryl” refers to the corresponding divalent moiety, arylene). All atoms are understood to have their normal number of valences for bond formation (i.e., 4 for carbon, 3 for N, 2 for O, and 2, 4, or 6 for S, depending on the oxidation state of the S). Nitrogens in the presently disclosed compounds can be hypervalent, for example, an N-oxide or tetrasubstituted ammonium salt. On occasion a moiety may be defined, for example, as (A)a-B—, wherein a is 0 or 1. In such instances, when a is 0 the moiety is B— and when a is 1 the moiety is A-B—.
As used herein, the term “alkyl” includes alkyl, alkenyl and alkynyl groups of a designed number of carbon atoms, desirably from 1 to about 12 carbons (i.e., inclusive of 1 and 12). The term “Cm-Cn alkyl” means an alkyl group having from m to n carbon atoms (i.e., inclusive of m and n). The term “Cm-Cn alkyl” means an alkyl group having from m to n carbon atoms. For example, “C1-C6 alkyl” is an alkyl group having from one to six carbon atoms. Alkyl and alkyl groups may be straight or branched and depending on context, may be a monovalent radical or a divalent radical (i.e., an alkylene group). In the case of an alkyl or alkyl group having zero carbon atoms (i.e., “Co alkyl”), the group is simply a single covalent bond if it is a divalent radical or is a hydrogen atom if it is a monovalent radical. For example, the moiety “—(C0-C6 alkyl)-Ar” signifies connection of an optionally substituted aryl through a single bond or an alkylene bridge having from 1 to 6 carbons. Examples of “alkyl” include, for example, methyl, ethyl, propyl, isopropyl, butyl, iso-, sec- and tert-butyl, pentyl, hexyl, heptyl, 3-ethylbutyl, 3-hexenyl and propargyl. If the number of carbon atoms is not specified, the subject “alkyl” or “alkyl” moiety has from 1 to 12 carbons.
The term “haloalkyl” is an alkyl group substituted with one or more halogen atoms, for example F, Cl, Br and I. A more specific term, for example, “fluoroalkyl” is an alkyl group substituted with one or more fluorine atoms. Examples of“fluoroalkyl” include fluoromethyl, difluoromethyl, trifluoromethyl, pentafluoroethyl, hexafluoroisopropyl and the like. In certain embodiments of the compounds disclosed herein, each haloalkyl is a fluoroalkyl.
The term “aryl” represents an aromatic carbocyclic ring system having a single ring (for example, phenyl) which is optionally fused to other aromatic hydrocarbon rings or non-aromatic hydrocarbon rings. “Aryl” includes ring systems having multiple condensed rings and in which at least one is aromatic, (for example, 1,2,3,4-tetrahydronaphthyl, naphthyl). Examples of aryl groups include phenyl, 1-naphthyl, 2-naphthyl, indanyl, indenyl, dihydronaphthyl, fluorenyl, tetralinyl, 2,3-dihydrobenzofuranyl and 6,7,8,9-tetrahydro-5H-benzo[a]cycloheptenyl. The aryl groups herein are unsubstituted or, when specified as “optionally substituted”, can unless stated otherwise be substituted in one or more substitutable positions with various groups, as described below.
The term “heteroaryl” refers to an aromatic ring system containing at least one heteroatom selected from nitrogen, oxygen and sulfur in an aromatic ring. The heteroaryl may be fused to one or more cycloalkyl or heterocycloalkyl rings. Examples of heteroaryl groups include, for example, pyridyl, pyrimidinyl, quinolinyl, benzothienyl, indolyl, indolinyl, pyridazinyl, pyrazinyl, isoindolyl, isoquinolyl, quinazolinyl, quinoxalinyl, phthalazinyl, imidazolyl, isoxazolyl, pyrazolyl, oxazolyl, thiazolyl, indolizinyl, indazolyl, benzothiazolyl, benzimidazolyl, benzofuranyl, furanyl, thienyl, pyrrolyl, oxadiazolyl, thiadiazolyl, benzo[1,4]oxazinyl, triazolyl, tetrazolyl, isothiazolyl, naphthyridinyl, isochromanyl, chromanyl, tetrahydroisoquinolinyl, isoindolinyl, isobenzotetrahydrofuranyl, isobenzotetrahydrothienyl, isobenzothienyl, benzoxazolyl, pyridopyridinyl, benzotetrahydrofuranyl, benzotetrahydrothienyl, purinyl, benzodioxolyl, triazinyl, pteridinyl, benzothiazolyl, imidazopyridinyl, imidazothiazolyl, dihydrobenzisoxazinyl, benzisoxazinyl, benzoxazinyl, dihydrobenzisothiazinyl, benzopyranyl, benzothiopyranyl, chromonyl, chromanonyl, pyridinyl-N-oxide, tetrahydroquinolinyl, dihydroquinolinyl, dihydroquinolinonyl, dihydroisoquinolinonyl, dihydrocoumarinyl, dihydroisocoumarinyl, isoindolinonyl, benzodioxanyl, benzoxazolinonyl, pyrrolyl N-oxide, pyrimidinyl N-oxide, pyridazinyl N-oxide, pyrazinyl N-oxide, quinolinyl N-oxide, indolyl N-oxide, indolinyl N-oxide, isoquinolyl N-oxide, quinazolinyl N-oxide, quinoxalinyl N-oxide, phthalazinyl N-oxide, imidazolyl N-oxide, isoxazolyl N-oxide, oxazolyl N-oxide, thiazolyl N-oxide, indolizinyl N-oxide, indazolyl N-oxide, benzothiazolyl N-oxide, benzimidazolyl N-oxide, pyrrolyl N-oxide, oxadiazolyl N-oxide, thiadiazolyl N-oxide, triazolyl N-oxide, tetrazolyl N-oxide, benzothiopyranyl S-oxide, benzothiopyranyl S,S-dioxide.

The heteroaryl groups herein are unsubstituted or, when specified as “optionally substituted”, can unless stated otherwise be substituted in one or more substitutable positions with various groups, as described below.
The term “heterocycloalkyl” refers to a non-aromatic ring or ring system containing at least one heteroatom that is preferably selected from nitrogen, oxygen and sulfur, wherein said heteroatom is in a non-aromatic ring. The heterocycloalkyl may be saturated (i.e., a heterocycloalkyl) or partially unsaturated (i.e., a heterocycloalkenyl). The heterocycloalkyl ring is optionally fused to other heterocycloalkyl rings and/or non-aromatic hydrocarbon rings and/or phenyl rings. In certain embodiments, the heterocycloalkyl groups have from 3 to 7 members in a single ring. In other embodiments, heterocycloalkyl groups have 5 or 6 members in a single ring. Examples of heterocycloalkyl groups include, for example, azabicyclo[2.2.2]octyl (in each case also “quinuclidinyl” or a quinuclidine derivative), azabicyclo[3.2.1]octyl, morpholinyl, thiomorpholinyl, thiomorpholinyl S-oxide, thiomorpholinyl S,S-dioxide, 2-oxazolidonyl, piperazinyl, homopiperazinyl, piperazinonyl, pyrrolidinyl, azepanyl, azetidinyl, pyrrolinyl, tetrahydropyranyl, piperidinyl, tetrahydrofuranyl, tetrahydrothienyl, 3,4-dihydroisoquinolin-2(1H)-yl, isoindolindionyl, homopiperidinyl, homomorpholinyl, homothiomorpholinyl, homothiomorpholinyl S,S-dioxide, oxazolidinonyl, dihydropyrazolyl, dihydropyrrolyl, dihydropyrazinyl, dihydropyridinyl, dihydropyrimidinyl, dihydrofuryl, dihydropyranyl, imidazolidonyl, tetrahydrothienyl S-oxide, tetrahydrothienyl S,S-dioxide and homothiomorpholinyl S-oxide.

The compounds disclosed herein can also be provided as pharmaceutically acceptable salts. The term “pharmaceutically acceptable salts” or “a pharmaceutically acceptable salt thereof” refer to salts prepared from pharmaceutically acceptable non-toxic acids or bases including inorganic acids and bases and organic acids and bases. If the compound is basic, salts may be prepared from pharmaceutically acceptable non-toxic acids. Such salts may be, for example, acid addition salts of at least one of the following acids: benzenesulfonic acid, citric acid, α-glucoheptonic acid, D-gluconic acid, glycolic acid, lactic acid, malic acid, malonic acid, mandelic acid, phosphoric acid, propanoic acid, succinic acid, sulfuric acid, tartaric acid (d, l, or dl), tosic acid (toluenesulfonic acid), valeric acid, palmitic acid, pamoic acid, sebacic acid, stearic acid, lauric acid, acetic acid, adipic acid, carbonic acid, 4-chlorobenzenesulfonic acid, ethanedisulfonic acid, ethylsuccinic acid, fumaric acid, galactaric acid (mucic acid), D-glucuronic acid, 2-oxo-glutaric acid, glycerophosphoric acid, hippuric acid, isethionic acid (ethanolsulfonic acid), lactobionic acid, maleic acid, 1,5-naphthalene-disulfonic acid, 2-naphthalene-sulfonic acid, pivalic acid, terephthalic acid, thiocyanic acid, cholic acid, n-dodecyl sulfate, 3-hydroxy-2-naphthoic acid, 1-hydroxy-2-naphthoic acid, oleic acid, undecylenic acid, ascorbic acid, (+)-camphoric acid, d-camphorsulfonic acid, dichloroacetic acid, ethanesulfonic acid, formic acid, hydriodic acid, hydrobromic acid, hydrochloric acid, methanesulfonic acid, nicotinic acid, nitric acid, orotic acid, oxalic acid, picric acid, L-pyroglutamic acid, saccharine, salicylic acid, gentisic acid, and/or 4-acetamidobenzoic acid.
The compounds described herein can also be provided in prodrug form. “Prodrug” refers to a derivative of an active compound (drug) that requires a transformation under the conditions of use, such as within the body, to release the active drug. Prodrugs are frequently, but not necessarily, pharmacologically inactive until converted into the active drug. Prodrugs are typically obtained by masking a functional group in the drug believed to be in part required for activity with a progroup (defined below) to form a promoiety which undergoes a transformation, such as cleavage, under the specified conditions of use to release the functional group, and hence the active drug. The cleavage of the promoiety can proceed spontaneously, such as by way of a hydrolysis reaction, or it can be catalyzed or induced by another agent, such as by an enzyme, by light, by acid, or by a change of or exposure to a physical or environmental parameter, such as a change of temperature. The agent can be endogenous to the conditions of use, such as an enzyme present in the cells to which the prodrug is administered or the acidic conditions of the stomach, or it can be supplied exogenously. A wide variety of progroups, as well as the resultant promoieties, suitable for masking functional groups in the active drugs to yield prodrugs are well-known in the art. For example, a hydroxyl functional group can be masked as a sulfonate, ester or carbonate promoiety, which can be hydrolyzed in vivo to provide the hydroxyl group. An amino functional group can be masked as an amide, carbamate, imine, urea, phosphenyl, phosphoryl or sulfenyl promoiety, which can be hydrolyzed in vivo to provide the amino group. A carboxyl group can be masked as an ester (including silyl esters and thioesters), amide or hydrazide promoiety, which can be hydrolyzed in vivo to provide the carboxyl group. Other specific examples of suitable progroups and their respective promoieties will be apparent to those of skill in the art.
The compounds disclosed herein can also be provided as N-oxides.
The presently disclosed compounds, salts, prodrugs and N-oxides can be provided, for example, in solvate or hydrate form.
Compounds can be assayed for binding to a membrane-bound adiponectin receptor by performing a competitive binding assay with adiponectin. In one such procedure, HEK 293 cellular membrane is coated onto a COSTAR 384 plate, which is then blocked with 1% casein. Polyhistidine-tagged globular adiponectin and a candidate compound is incubated with the membrane in HEPES buffer. Unbound ligands are washed away and the degree of binding of the adiponectin is determined using horseradish peroxidase-conjugated anti-polyhistidine. Compounds that compete with adiponectin binding to the membrane (i.e., give a reduced signal compared to a control performed without a candidate compound) can be chosen as hits and further screened using the below-described functional assays to identify adiponectin receptor agonists.
An in-cell western assay can be performed to demonstrate the activation of the AMPK pathway in human liver cells by globular adiponectin using glutathione S-transferase (GST). AMPK activity can be measured by the relative concentration of phosphorylated acetyl Co-A carboxylase, which is one of the products of AMPK. An increase in pACC correlates with an increase in the rate of fatty acid oxidation.
The compounds of structural formulae (I)-(LXXXVI) can be administered, for example, orally, topically, parenterally, by inhalation or spray or rectally in dosage unit formulations containing one or more pharmaceutically acceptable carriers, diluents or excipients. The term parenteral as used herein includes percutaneous, subcutaneous, intravascular (for example, intravenous), intramuscular, or intrathecal injection or infusion techniques and the like.
Pharmaceutical compositions can be made using the presently disclosed compounds. For example, in one embodiment, a pharmaceutical composition includes a pharmaceutically acceptable carrier, diluent or excipient, and compound as described above with reference to structural formulae (I)-(LXXXVI).
In the pharmaceutical compositions disclosed herein, one or more compounds of structural formulae (I)-(LXXXVI) may be present in association with one or more pharmaceutically acceptable carriers, diluents or excipients, and, if desired, other active ingredients. The pharmaceutical compositions containing compounds of structural formulae (I)-(LXXXVI) may be in a form suitable for oral use, for example, as tablets, troches, lozenges, aqueous or oily suspensions, dispersible powders or granules, emulsion, hard or soft capsules, or syrups or elixirs.
Compositions intended for oral use can be prepared according to any suitable method for the manufacture of pharmaceutical compositions and such compositions may contain one or more agents selected from the group consisting of sweetening agents, flavoring agents, coloring agents and preservative agents in order to provide pharmaceutically elegant and palatable preparations. Tablets contain the active ingredient in admixture with non-toxic pharmaceutically acceptable excipients that are suitable for the manufacture of tablets. These excipients can be for example, inert diluents, such as calcium carbonate, sodium carbonate, lactose, calcium phosphate or sodium phosphate; granulating and disintegrating agents, for example, corn starch, or alginic acid; binding agents, for example starch, gelatin or acacia, and lubricating agents, for example magnesium stearate, stearic acid or talc. The tablets can be uncoated or they can be coated by known techniques. In some cases such coatings can be prepared by suitable techniques to delay disintegration and absorption in the gastrointestinal tract and thereby provide a sustained action over a longer period. For example, a time delay material such as glyceryl monostearate or glyceryl distearate can be employed.
Formulations for oral use can also be presented as hard gelatin capsules, wherein the active ingredient is mixed with an inert solid diluent, for example, calcium carbonate, calcium phosphate or kaolin, or as soft gelatin capsules wherein the active ingredient is mixed with water or an oil medium, for example peanut oil, liquid paraffin or olive oil.
Formulations for oral use can also be presented as lozenges.
Aqueous suspensions contain the active materials in admixture with excipients suitable for the manufacture of aqueous suspensions. Such excipients can be suspending agents, for example sodium carboxymethylcellulose, methylcellulose, hydropropylmethykellulose, sodium alginate, polyvinylpyrrolidone, gum tragacanth and gum acacia; dispersing or wetting agents such as a naturally-occurring phosphatide, for example, lecithin, or condensation products of an alkylene oxide with fatty acids, for example polyoxyethylene stearate, or condensation products of ethylene oxide with long chain aliphatic alcohols, for example heptadecaethyleneoxycetanol, or condensation products of ethylene oxide with partial esters derived from fatty acids and a hexitol such as polyoxyethylene sorbitol monooleate, or condensation products of ethylene oxide with partial esters derived from fatty acids and hexitol anhydrides, for example polyethylene sorbitan monooleate. The aqueous suspensions may also contain one or more preservatives, for example ethyl, or n-propyl p-hydroxybenzoate, one or more coloring agents, one or more flavoring agents, and one or more sweetening agents, such as sucrose or saccharin.
Oily suspensions can be formulated by suspending the active ingredients in a vegetable oil, for example arachis oil, olive oil, sesame oil or coconut oil, or in a mineral oil such as liquid paraffin. The oily suspensions may contain a thickening agent, for example beeswax, hard paraffin or cetyl alcohol. Sweetening agents and flavoring agents may be added to provide palatable oral preparations. These compositions may be preserved by the addition of an anti-oxidant such as ascorbic acid.
Dispersible powders and granules suitable for preparation of an aqueous suspension by the addition of water provide the active ingredient in admixture with a dispersing or wetting agent, suspending agent and one or more preservatives. Suitable dispersing or wetting agents or suspending agents are exemplified by those already mentioned above. Additional excipients, for example sweetening, flavoring and coloring agents, can also be present.
Pharmaceutical compositions can also be in the form of oil-in-water emulsions. The oily phase can be a vegetable oil or a mineral oil or mixtures of these. Suitable emulsifying agents can be naturally-occurring gums, for example gum acacia or gum tragacanth, naturally-occurring phosphatides, for example soy bean, lecithin, and esters or partial esters derived from fatty acids and hexitol, anhydrides, for example sorbitan monooleate, and condensation products of the said partial esters with ethylene oxide, for example polyoxyethylene sorbitan monooleate. The emulsions can also contain sweetening and flavoring agents.
Syrups and elixirs can be formulated with sweetening agents, for example glycerol, propylene glycol, sorbitol, glucose or sucrose. Such formulations can also contain a demulcent, a preservative, flavoring, and coloring agents. The pharmaceutical compositions can be in the form of a sterile injectable aqueous or oleaginous suspension. This suspension can be formulated according to the known art using those suitable dispersing or wetting agents and suspending agents that have been mentioned above. The sterile injectable preparation can also be a sterile injectable solution or suspension in a non-toxic parentally acceptable diluent or solvent, for example as a solution in 1,3-butanediol. Among the acceptable vehicles and solvents that can be employed are water, Ringer's solution and isotonic sodium chloride solution. In addition, sterile, fixed oils can be employed as a solvent or suspending medium. For this purpose any bland fixed oil can be employed including synthetic mono- or diglycerides. In addition, fatty acids such as oleic acid find use in the preparation of injectables.
Compounds of structural formulae (I)-(LXXXVI) can be formulated into lotions, oils or powders for application to the skin according to certain methods described below.
Compounds of structural formulae (I)-(LXXXVI) can also be administered in the form of suppositories, for example, for rectal administration of the drug. These compositions can be prepared by mixing the compound with a suitable non-irritating excipient that is solid at ordinary temperatures but liquid at the rectal temperature and will therefore melt in the rectum to release the drug. Such materials include cocoa butter and polyethylene glycols.
Compounds of structural formula (I)-(LXXXVI) can also be administered parenterally in a sterile medium. The drug, depending on the vehicle and concentration used, can either be suspended or dissolved in the vehicle. Advantageously, adjuvants such as local anesthetics, preservatives and buffering agents can be dissolved in the vehicle.
The compounds disclosed herein can be made using procedures familiar to the person of ordinary skill in the art and as described herein. For example, compounds of structural formula (I) can be prepared according to Schemes 1-6, below, or analogous synthetic schemes:




Referring to Scheme 1, a pyridinedicarboxylic acid monomethyl ester (i), for example, is coupled with an amine (here a substituted 1-benzoylpiperidine-4-amine) to form a carboxymethyl-substituted pyridinecarboxamide (ii). The ester is saponified to form the corresponding carboxylic acid (iii), which is then coupled with a suitable amine (in this case, a substituted 1-benzylpiperazine) to form Compound 4 of Table 1.




Referring to Scheme 2, a bromopyridinedicarboxylic acid, for example, is coupled with an amine (here a substituted 1-benzylpiperidine-4-amine) to form a bromo-substituted pyridinecarboxamide (iv), which is then coupled with a suitable amine (in this case, a substituted 4-phenoxypiperidine) using a palladium catalyst to form Compound 17 of Table 1.




Referring to Scheme 3, a pyridinedicarboxylic acid monomethyl ester (v), for example, is coupled with an amine (here a substituted 1-benzylpiperidine-4-amine) to form a carboxymethyl-substituted pyridinecarboxamide (vi). The ester is saponified to form the corresponding carboxylic acid (vii), which is then coupled with a suitable amine (in this case, a substituted 4-benzoylpiperidine) to form Compound 160 of Table 1.




Referring to Scheme 4, a pyridine dicarboxylic acid (viii), for example, is coupled with one equivalent of an amine (here, a substituted 1-benzylepiperizine), then with methanol and trimethylsilyl(diazomethane) to form a carbomethoxy-substituted pyridinecarboxamide (ix), which is saponified to give a carboxylic acid-substituted pyridinecarboxamide (x). An amine (in this case, 1-phenylpiperazine) is coupled with the carboxylic acid-substituted pyridinecarboxamide (x) to form Compound 94 of Table 1.




Referring to Scheme 5, a bromopyridinecarboxamide (xi) is coupled with a substituted 1-benzylpiperidine-4-carboxamide using a palladium catalyst to form Compound 46 of Table 1. Reactions of this general type are described in more detail, for example, in Wrona, Iwona E. et al., Journal of Organic Chemistry (2010), 75(9), 2820-2835.




Scheme 6 describes a preparation that can be used to make gem-dimethylpiperazines for use in making compounds analogous to Compound 125 of Table 1. A piperazin-2-one is singly protected with trityl chloride, then coupled with an appropriate bromide (here, a substituted benzyl bromide) to form a 4-protected 1-(substituted benzyl)piperazin-2-one. The oxo is convered to a gem-dimethyl using Grignard chemistry, then the trityl is removed to yield the desired gem-dimethyl piperazine. Details are provided in the Examples below, and in Xiao, K-J.; Luo, J-M.; Ye, K-Y.; Wang, Y.; Huang, P-Q. Angew. Chem. Int. Ed. 2010, 49, 3037-3040.
One of skill in the art can adapt the reaction sequences of Schemes 1-6 to fit the desired target molecule. Of course, in certain situations one of skill in the art will use different reagents to affect one or more of the individual steps or to use protected versions of certain of the substituents. Additionally, one skilled in the art would recognize that compounds of structural formulae (I)-(LXXXVI) can be synthesized using different routes altogether.
Compounds suitable for use in the presently disclosed pharmaceutical compositions include compounds of Table 1, above. These compounds can be made according to the general scheme described above, for example using a procedure similar to that described below in the Examples.
While not intending to be bound by theory, the inventors surmise that compounds of structural formulae (I)-(LXXXVI) activate the AMPK pathway. Activation of the AMPK pathway has the effect of increasing glucose uptake, decreasing glycogen synthesis and increasing fatty acid oxidation, thereby reducing glycogen, intracellular triglyceride and fatty acid concentration and causing an increase in insulin sensitivity. Because they activate the AMPK pathway, compounds of structural formulae (I)-(LXXXVI) should also inhibit the inflammatory processes which occur during the early phases of atherosclerosis. Accordingly, compounds of structural formulae (I)-(LXXXVI) can be useful in the treatment of type II diabetes and in the treatment and prevention of atherosclerosis, cardiovascular disease, obesity and non-alcoholic fatty liver disease.
In one aspect and without limitation to theory, the present compounds exert AMPK activating activity by binding to an adiponectin receptor, acting as effective adiponectin mimetics. Adiponectin is a protein hormone exclusively expressed in and secreted from adipose tissue and is the most abundant adipose-specific protein. Adiponectin has been implicated in the modulation of glucose and lipid metabolism in insulin-sensitive tissues. Decreased circulating adiponectin levels have been demonstrated in some insulin-resistant states, such as obesity and type 2 diabetes mellitus and also in patients with coronary artery disease, atherosclerosis and hypertension. Adiponectin levels are positively correlated with insulin sensitivity, HDL (high density lipoprotein) levels and insulin stimulated glucose disposal and inversely correlated with adiposity and glucose, insulin and triglyceride levels. Thiazolidinedione drugs, which enhance insulin sensitivity through activation of the peroxisome proliferator-activated receptor-γ, increase endogenous adiponectin production in humans.
Adiponectin binds its receptors in liver and skeletal muscle and thereby activates the AMPK pathway. Similarly, in one aspect, the present compounds act as adiponectin receptor agonists. Adiponectin receptors 1 and 2 are membrane-bound proteins found in skeletal muscle and liver tissue.
Accordingly, another aspect of the present disclosure relates to a method of activating the AMPK pathway. According to this aspect, a method for activating the AMPK pathway in a cell includes contacting the cell with an effective amount of a compound, pharmaceutically acceptable salt, prodrug, N-oxide (or solvate or hydrate thereof) or composition of such a compound described above, such as a compound of one of formulas (I)-(LXXXVI).
In one embodiment, a method of increasing fatty acid oxidation in a cell includes contacting the cell with an effective amount of a compound, pharmaceutically acceptable salt, prodrug, N-oxide (or solvate or hydrate thereof) or composition of such a compound described above, such as a compound of one of formulas (I)-(LXXXVI). Acetyl Co-A carboxylase (ACC) catalyzes the formation of malonyl Co-A, a potent inhibitor of fatty acid oxidation; phosphorylation of ACC greatly reduces its catalytic activity, thereby reducing the concentration of malonyl Co-A and increasing the rate of fatty acid oxidation. Because the presently disclosed compounds can increase the rate of phosphorylation of ACC, they can reduce the inhibition of fatty acid oxidation and therefore increase its overall rate.
In another embodiment, a method of decreasing glycogen concentration in a cell includes contacting the cell with an effective amount of a compound, pharmaceutically acceptable salt, prodrug, N-oxide (or solvate or hydrate thereof) or composition of such a compound described above, such as a compound of one of formulas (I)-(LXXXVI).
In another embodiment, a method of increasing glucose uptake in a cell includes contacting the cell with an effective amount of a compound, pharmaceutically acceptable salt, prodrug, N-oxide (or solvate or hydrate thereof) or composition of such a compound described above, such as a compound of one of formulas (I)-(LXXXVI).
In another embodiment, a method of reducing triglyceride levels in a subject includes administering to the subject an effective amount of a compound, pharmaceutically acceptable salt, prodrug, N-oxide (or solvate or hydrate thereof) or composition of such a compound described above, such as a compound of one of formulas (I)-(LXXXVI).
In another embodiment, a method of increasing insulin sensitivity of a subject includes administering to the subject an effective amount of a compound, pharmaceutically acceptable salt prodrug, N-oxide (or solvate or hydrate thereof) or composition of such a compound described above, such as a compound of one of formulas (I)-(LXXXVI).
Accordingly, the compounds and compositions disclosed herein can be used to treat a variety of metabolic disorders. For example, in one embodiment, a method of treating type II diabetes in a subject in need of such treatment includes administering to the subject an effective amount of a compound, pharmaceutically acceptable salt, prodrug, solvate, hydrate, N-oxide or composition described above. In another embodiment, a method of treating or preventing atherosclerosis or cardiovascular disease in a subject includes administering to the subject an effective amount of a compound, pharmaceutically acceptable salt, prodrug prodrug, N-oxide (or solvate or hydrate thereof) or composition of such a compound described above, such as compound of one of formulas (I)-(LXXXVI).
As described above, the compounds disclosed herein can act as activators of the AMPK pathway. Accordingly, in another embodiment, a method comprises modulating the AMPK pathway (either in vitro or in vivo) by contacting a cell with a compound, pharmaceutically acceptable salt, prodrug, N-oxide (or solvate or hydrate thereof) or composition described above, or administering a compound, pharmaceutically acceptable salt, prodrug, N-oxide (or solvate or hydrate thereof) or composition described above to a mammal (for example, a human) in an amount sufficient to modulate the AMPK activity and study the effects thereby induced. Such methods are useful for studying the AMPK pathway and its role in biological mechanisms and disease states both in vitro and in vivo.
In certain embodiments, the compounds disclosed herein affect lipid signaling pathways. For example, in some embodiments, the compounds up-regulate ceramidase activity. Ceramide is a central player in sphingolipid metabolism, and is the immediate precursor of sphingomyelins and glycosphingolipids as well as the bioactive products sphingosine and sphingosine-1-phosphate. Moreover, endogenous ceramide itself mediates, at least in part, the actions of a variety of stimuli on cell differentiation, apoptosis, and growth suppression. Ceramide is deacylated by ceramidase to form sphingosine, which is in turn phosphorylated to sphingosine-1-phosphate by sphingosine kinase.
Elevated ceramide levels have been shown to induce cell apoptosis, differentiation and senescence. Moreover, elevated ceramide levels are linked to a variety of diseases and disorders, including, for example, Batten's disease, inflammatory bowel diseases, diffuse intravascular coagulation, fever, protein catabolism and/or lipid depletion, hepatosplenomegaly associated with inflammatory or metabolic liver diseases, endomyocarditis, endolithial cell and leucocyte activation, capillary thrombosis, meningo-encephalitis due to infectious agents, complications in organ transplantation, rheumatoid arthritis and connective tissue diseases, autoimmune diseases, hyperthyroidism, damage by radiation/chemotherapy agents and chronic fatigue syndrome.
Up-regulating ceramidase function (and therefore reducing the concentration of ceramide) can be used to treat disorders involving deficient cell proliferation (growth) or in which cell proliferation is otherwise desired, for example, degenerative disorders, growth deficiencies, lesions, physical trauma, and diseases in which ceramide accumulates within cells, such as Fabry disease. Other disorders that may benefit from the activation of ceramidase include neurodegenerative disorders such as Alzheimer's disease and amyotrophic lateral sclerosis and disorders of aging such as immune dysfunction, as well as disorders, such as those listed above, linked to elevated ceramide levels.
The compounds, salts, prodrugs, N-oxides, solvates and hydrates described herein can be administered, for example, to a mammalian host to retard cellular responses associated with the activation of the ceramide-mediated signal transduction pathway. The compounds can be useful, for example, in providing protection against cell senescence or apoptosis, such as occurs as a result of trauma (for example, radiation dermatitis) and aging (for example, of the skin or other organs).
Another embodiment is a method for up-regulating ceramidase function in a cell (either in vivo or in vitro), the method including contacting the cell with an effective amount of a compound, pharmaceutically acceptable salt, prodrug, N-oxide (or solvate or hydrate thereof) or composition of such a compound described above, such as a compound of one of formulas (I)-(LXXXVI).
In another embodiment, a method for decreasing ceramide concentration in a cell (either in vivo or in vitro) includes contacting the cell with an effective amount of a compound, pharmaceutically acceptable salt prodrug. N-oxide (or solvate or hydrate thereof) or composition of such a compound described above, such as a compound of one of formulas (I)-(LXXXVI).
In another embodiment, a method for inhibiting ceramide-activated responses to stimuli in a cell (either in vivo or in vitro) includes contacting the cell with an effective amount of a compound, pharmaceutically acceptable salt, prodrug, N-oxide (or solvate or hydrate thereof) or composition described above. The stimuli can be, for example, stimuli for cell senescence and/or apoptosis.
Another embodiment is a method for treating or preventing a disease or disorder in which cell proliferation is deficient or desired in a subject, the method including administering to the subject an effective amount of a compound, pharmaceutically acceptable salt, prodrug, N-oxide (or solvate or hydrate thereof) or composition of such a compound described above, for example, a compound of one of formulas (I)-(LXXXVI). Various applicable diseases and disorders are described above.
Another embodiment is a method for treating a disease or disorder linked to elevated ceramide levels in a subject, the method including administering to the subject an effective amount of a compound, pharmaceutically acceptable salt, prodrug, N-oxide (or solvate or hydrate thereof) or composition as described herein. Various applicable diseases and disorders are described above. In certain embodiments, the subject has a ceramide level higher than about 50 pmol/106 cells.
Moreover, since some drugs can induce high levels of ceramide, the compounds, salts, prodrugs, N-oxides, solvates and hydrates described herein can be usefully co-administered with such drugs in order to at least partially ameliorate this effect. For example, in certain embodiments, an effective amount of a compound, pharmaceutically acceptable salt, prodrug, N-oxide (or solvate or hydrate thereof) or composition as described herein is co-administered with a corticosteroid (for example, dexamethasone), an anti-inflammatory (for example, indomethacin), an antiviral (for example, interfereon), an immunosuppressant (for example, cyclosporin), a chemotherapy agent (for example, adriamicin), and immunopotentiant (for example, an immunoglobulin or a vaccine), or an andocrinological agent (for example, metimazole). As the person of skill in the art will appreciate, co-administration contemplates not only administration at the same time, but also administration at different times, but with time-overlapping pharmacological effects.
Another embodiment is a method for reducing the effect of aging in the skin of a subject, the method including contacting the skin with a compound, pharmaceutically acceptable salt, prodrug, N-oxide (or solvate or hydrate thereof) or composition as described herein.
Another embodiment is a method for treating or preventing radiation dermatitis in the skin of a subject, the method including contacting the skin with a compound, pharmaceutically acceptable salt, prodrug, N-oxide (or solvate or hydrate thereof) or composition as described herein.
To identify and select therapeutic compounds for use in treating ceramide-associated conditions, cells (or intracellular components such as microsomes) which have not been exposed to a senescence or apoptosis-inducing agent (for example, cytokines such as TNF-α or exogenous stimuli such as heat, radiation or chemical agents) are exposed to such and agent and to the candidate compound. Inhibition of senescence or apoptosis is measured as a function of cell growth. The person of ordinary skill in the art will be familar with techniques for obtaining such measurements.
For example, inhibition of cell senescence can be measured after serum deprivation in serum-dependent cells. Many cell types are dependent upon serum factors for growth. Thus, deprivation of such cells of serum provides a model for assessment of compounds to modulate cell responses to intracellular ceramide-mediated signal transduction. In particular, withdrawal of serum from serum-dependent cell cultures produces increased intracellular levels of endogenous ceramide and may also increase intracellular levels of endogenous diacyl glycerol (see, e.g., Jayadev, et al., J. Biol. Chem., 270, 2047-2052 (1995)). To evaluate the inhibitory effect of the compounds described herein on ceramide-associated conditions in vitro, the serum withdrawal model can be used. Specifically, 3T3 fibroblast cells can be seeded in 96 well microtiter plates in DMEM in the presence of 10%° fetal bovine serum. The cells are incubated to 90% confluence. The medium is removed, and the cells washed and reincubated in serum-free DMEM. A test compound at a variety of concentrations (for example, 0, 4, 40 or 400 μM) and cell permeable ceramide (for example, 0, 5 or 10 μM) are added to the wells. After 24 hrs. incubation, 0.5 μCi of [3H]thymidine is added to each well for 2 hrs. DNA synthesis in the tested cell population is assessed by conventional techniques for detection of [3H]thymidine incorporation. The results of this assay can be used to establish the cell senescence inhibitory efficacy of the test compound.
Inhibition of cell apoptosis can be determined, for example, using CD95 stimulation. Engagement of cell surface receptor CD95 (also known as Fas/Apo-1 antigen) triggers cell apoptosis. DX2 is a functional anti-FAS (CD95) antibody which will, on binding of CD95, activate the sphingomyelinase catalysis of sphingomyelin hydrolysis and production of ceramide (see, with respect to DX2, Cifone, et al., J. Exp. Med., 177, 1547-1552 (1993)). Thus, binding of CD95 is a model for conduction of apoptosis via the sphingomyelin signal transduction pathway. To assess the inhibitory effect of the compounds disclosed herein on ceramide-mediated cell apoptosis, human T lymphoblasts (Jurkat) are suspended at 2×106 cells/mL in RPMI-1640 supplemented with insulin, transferrin, selenium and glutamine. After incubation for 2 hrs. at room temperature with a test compound, pentoxifylline or a control compound (Ro-1724), 25 ng/mL of anti-FAS antibody is added to each suspension. After another 2 hrs., cell apoptosis is measured as a function of the number of cells (counted by hemocytometer) that excluded the vital dye erythrosin B. The results of the experiment can be used to establish the apoptosis inhibitory efficacy of the test compound.
To assess the inhibitory effect of the compounds disclosed herein on death of human lymphocytes, human peripheral blood lymphocytes are isolated from normal human blood and depleted of monocytes by adherence to a plastic substrate. Lymphocytes are then cultured in RPMI-1640 medium with 10% autologous plasma at an initial concentration of 2×106 cells/mL. Aliquots of the cell samples are divided and one half of the samples are incubated with a test compound or 6,7-dimethoxy-1 (2H)-isoquinoline (Aldrich) for four days. The remaining half of the samples are allowed to rest for four days. Cell viability after four days is determined by erythrosin B dye exclusion in a hemocytometer. The results of the experiment can be used to establish the apoptosis inhibitory efficacy of the test compound on human lymphocytes as compared to untreated lymphocytes.
Ceramide-activated protein kinase (CaPK) is a 97 kDa protein which is exclusively membrane-bound and is believed to serve a role in the sphingomyelin signal transduction pathway. In particular, CaPK is believed to mediate phosphorylation of a peptide derived from the amino acid sequence surrounding Thr.sup.669 of the epidermal growth factor receptor (i.e., amino acids 663-681). This site is also recognized by the mitogen-activated kinase MAP (also known as a family of extracellular signal-regulated kinases). Thus, the effect of the compounds disclosed herein on CaPK activity in cells can be indicative of the effect that the compounds exert on signal transduction in the sphingomyelin pathway. Accordingly, Jurkat cells are suspended at 2×106 cells/mL in RPMI-1640 medium as described above with respect to the cell apoptosis experiment. After incubation for 2 hrs., either a test compound; 20 μM of ceramide or 25 ng/ml of anti-FAS antibody DX2 are added to each suspension and incubated for 15 mins. After centrifugation and washing, the cells were separately homogenized in a dounce homogenizer. Ceramide kinase levels in each test sample can be assayed as described by Liu, et al., J. Biol. Chem., 269, 3047-3052 (1994), which is hereby incorporated by reference herein in its entirety. Briefly, the membrane fraction is isolated from each test sample of treated cell homogenate by ultracentrifugation and run on a 10% PAGE gel. The gel is washed with guanadine-HCl, and renatured in HEPES buffer. Then [32P]-ATP is added to the gel and left there for 10 mins. Thereafter, the gel is extensively washed with 5% TCA. Autophosphorylated kinase is detected by autoradiography. The results of this assay can be used to establish the CaPK inhibitory efficacy of the compounds disclosed herein.
Ceramidase activity can be measured in a variety of ways. For example, a sample from a subject or a sample of cells can be assayed in vitro for RNA or protein levels, structure, and/or activity of the expressed ceramidase RNA or protein. Many methods standard in the art can be thus employed, including but not limited to ceramidase enzyme assays.
Cellular ceramide levels can be monitored directly, or by indirectly monitoring the concentrations of a ceramide metabolite in a cell. For example, ceramide levels can be directly measured by isolating peripheral blood lymphocytes from a subject. The cells are centrifuged to remove supernatant, and lipids are removed from the cell pellet. The organic phase containing the ceramide can be assayed using the diacylglycerase kinase assay for phosphorylating the ceramide which is then evidenced by autoradiography. Methods for performing diacylglycerase kinase assays are described, for example, in Cifone, M. G. et al., J. Exp. Med., 180(4), 1547-52 (1993), Jayadev et al., J. Biol. Chem., 270, 2047-2052, (1995), and Perry. D. K. et al. Methods Enzymology, 312, 22-31 (2000), each of which is hereby incorporated by reference in its entirety.

To a suspension of pyridine-2,6-dicarboxylic acid (0.200 g, 1.20 mmol, 1.0 eq) in tetrahydrofuran (6.0 mL) was added 4-fluorobenzylpiperazine (0.116 g, 0.60 mmol, 0.5 eq). Triethylamine (0.33 mL, 2.40 mmol, 2.0 eq) was added followed by HATU (0.319 g, 0.84 mmol, 0.7 eq) and the reaction was stirred at room temperature for 14 hours. The reaction mixture was diluted with methanol (3.0 mL) and (trimethylsilyl)diazomethane (2.0 mL of a 2M solution in hexane, 4.00 mmol). The reaction mixture was stirred at room temperature for 30 minutes before concentrating under reduced pressure. The residue was partitioned between NaHCO3 (50 mL) and EtOAc (50 mL). The organics were washed with brine (50 mL), dried (Na2SO4) and concentrated under reduced pressure. Column chromatography (silica, 2→5% MeOH—CH2Cl2) yielded methyl 6-(4-(4-fluorobenzyl)piperazine-1-carbonyl)picolinate (0.214 g, 50%) as a white solid; m/z: 358 [M+H]+.

The reaction was stirred at room temperature for 25 minutes before neutralizing with HCl (approximately 0.6 mL of a 2M solution). The reaction mixture was concentrated to dryness to yield 6-(4-(4-fluorobenzyl)piperazine-1-carbonyl)picolinic acid, which was used without further purification; m/z: 344 [M+H]+. To a solution of the crude 6-(4-(4-fluorobenzyl)piperazine-1-carbonyl)picolinic acid (approximately 0.200 mmol, 1.0 eq) and triethylamine (0.083 mL, 0.600 mmol, 3.0 eq) in dimethylformamide (2.0 mL) was added 1-phenylpiperazine (0.036 mL, 0.240 mmol, 1.2 eq). HATU was added and the reaction shaken at room temperature for 2.5 hours before partitioning between EtOAc (50 mL) and NaHCO3-water (1:1, 50 mL).

Synthesis of Compounds 349 and 350
Coupling of the 1-tert-Butyloxycarbonyl-3-Fluoro-4-aminopiperidine




To a mixture of the crude pyridine carboxylic acid (2.15 g of approximately 66% purity, 3.86 mmol, 1.0 eq) and 1-tert-butyl-3-fluoro-4-aminopiperidine (0.84 g, 3.86 mmol, 1.0 eq) was added dimethylformamide (40 mL) followed by triethylamine (1.31 mL, 9.64 mmol, 2.5 eq).
