## Background
CROSS-REFERENCE TO RELATED APPLICATIONS
This application is the National Stage of International Application No. PCT/FR03/01763, filed Jun. 12, 2003, which claims priority to French Patent Application No. 02 07387, filed Jun. 14, 2002, the entire disclosures of which are incorporated herein by reference.
The present invention relates to novel compounds of arylsulphonamide type, their method of preparation and their use to obtain pharmaceutical compositions.
These new compounds can be given therapeutic use, especially to treat pain.
PRIOR ART
Compounds are already known whose structure includes a group of arylsulphonamide type. For example, through EP 236 163 and EP 236 164, N-α-arylsulphonylaminoacyl-p-amidino-phenyl-alaninamide derivatives may be cited which are selective inhibitors of thrombin and can be used as anti-thrombotics. Also, according to EP 614 911, compounds are known whose structure is fairly close to the preceding compounds, simultaneously comprising an arylsulphamoyl group and a substituted phenylamidine group, which have the property of binding onto the receptors of the Y neuropeptide and which may be used to treat hypertension, angina pectoris, atherosclerosis, depression, anxiety, inflammation, allergy or excess fat.
EP 558 961 also suggests the use of arylsulphonamide-type compounds of substituted amino acids for the treatment of thrombosis on account of their anticoagulant properties.
Studies on the antithrombotic properties of compounds whose structure includes an arylsulphonamide group and a phenylamidine group, have also been published in Pharmazie 1984 vol. 39 (5) pages 315-317 and Pharmazie 1986 vol. 41 (4) p 233-235.
In the same area of pharmacological activity, WO 92/16549 A1 describes derivatives of phenylalanine comprising an arylsulphonamide group, which are proteinase inhibitors, in particular thrombin inhibitors.
Compounds are also known, from WO 97/25315, having N-(arylsulphonyl)amino-acid structure, which can be used to treate inflammatory diseases.
In a different therapeutic domain, WO 00/34313 describes peptides which may have an end-chain arylsulphonyl group and which are claimed for their ability to inhibit procollagen-C-proteinase. Also, through the publication in J. Chem. Soc., Perkin Trans. 1(1986), (9) p 1655-64 compounds are known with closely similar structure which are presented as inhibitors of porcine pancreatic elastase.
Among the prior art documents proposing elements with a structure of arylsulphonamide type, mention may be made of WO 96/40639, WO 97/24349, WO 98/03503, WO 98/24783 and WO 99/00387, pertaining to antagonist compounds of the B2 receptor of bradykinin.

Biological Activity
The compounds of the present invention were evaluated for their analgesic properties in the formalin-induced pain response test in mice (Shibata, M., Ohkubo, T., Takahashi, H. & R. Inoki. Modified formalin test: characteristic biphasic pain response. Pain, 38, 347-352). To summarize, formalin (0.92% in saline solution) is injected into the hind paw and the paw licking time, which reflects pain intensity, is recorded from 0 to 5 min (1st phase) and from 15 to 30 min (2nd phase) after injection. The percentage inhibition of the second formalin-induced licking phase for some compounds of the invention is given in the following table:

These results demonstrate very substantial lowering of pain after administration of the compounds.
Further to the results of the preceding test, the compounds of the invention were subjected to a test intended to display their mode of action and involving the B1 receptor of bradykinin.
This test uses the human umbilical vein and is conducted in acoordance with the following protocol:
Human umbilical cords 15-25 cm long are recovered just after delivery and immediately placed in a flask containing a Krebs solution of composition (in mM): 119 NaCl, 4.7 KCl, 1.18 KH2PO4, 1.17 MgSO4, 25 NaHCO3, 2.5 CaCl2, 5.5 Glucose, 0.026 EDTA then stored at 4° C.
The cord is dissected in the Krebs solution to release the umbilical vein. The vein is cleansed of all adhering tissue and cut into small rings 3-4 mm in width. The endothelium is carefully removed by inserting a fine no 1 catheter, made slightly abrasive, into the vessel lumen.
To induce the expression of the B1 receptor of bradykinin, the vein segments are left to incubate at 37° C. in a 25 ml chamber for 16 hours in EMEM culture medium oxygenated by a 95% O2+5% CO2 mixture to which antibiotics are added: penicillin 10 000 IU/ml and streptomycin 10 000 IU/ml. The following day, the vein segments are mounted on a stainless steel support connected to an isometric sensor and placed in a 8 ml organ bath thermostatted at 37° C., containing Krebs solution oxygenated with a 95% O2+5% CO2 mixture.
After a rest period of one hour during which the ring segments are rinsed 5 to 6 times with the Krebs solution (maintained at 37° C. throughout all handling procedures and oxygenated with the 95% O2+5% CO2 mixture), the vein is gradually subjected to a 1 g load. When the load is stable, after approximately 45 minutes, the Krebs solution is replaced by a high potassium solution (KPSS: at a temperature of 37° C.) of the same composition, but containing 125 mM KCl and not NaCl.
After a series of rinsings, rest periods and load readjustments, the maximum contraction of each segment is determined by further depolarisation with the KPSS solution.
After a new rest period during which the 1 g load is constantly readjusted, the following compounds are added to the isolated organ bath: Mepyramine (1 μM), Atropine (1 μM), Indometacine (3 μM), LNA (30 μM), Captopril (10 μM), DL-Thiorphan (1 μM) and Nifedipine (0.1 μM).
After 20 minutes, the molecule to be tested or the solvent of the molecule is added to the isolated organ bath. The molecules are examined at 10 μM; if a molecule shows sufficient level of activity, it is examined at lower concentrations (e.g.: 1-0.1-0.01 μM).
After 15 minutes incubation, the vein segments are contracted through the addition of increasing concentrations of des-Arg10-Kallidin (0.1 nM to 30 000 nM) to the chamber.
The EC50 values (effective concentrations of agonists required to produce 50% of the maximum response obtained with the KPSS) are calculated using the least square method.
The pKB=[−log KB] is obtained from the equation:

KB=[A]/(concentration ratio−1)

where [A] is the concentration of antagonist and the (concentration ratio) represents the ratio between EC50 in the presence of antagonists, and EC50 in the absence of antagonists.

According to this test, the compounds of the invention cited in the description show a pKB value of between 7 and 10, which tends to show that the mode of action of these compounds involves antagonism to the B1 receptor of bradykinin.
The compounds of the present invention are of use in the treatment of various forms of pain such as inflammatory hyperalgesia, allodynia, neuropathic pain associated for example with diabetes, with neuropathies (constriction of sciatica nerve, lumbago) with any form of trauma, surgery (tooth extraction, tonsil removal), interstitial cystitis, inflammatory colon disease and with cancer.
The compounds of the present invention may also be used to treat any pathology associated with neutrophil migration, such as acute respiratory distress syndrome, psoriasis, chronic lung obstructions, inflammatory diseases of the colon, rheumatoid polyarthritis.
The activity of the compounds of the invention, evidenced throughout the biological tests, is indicative of analgesic properties and permits the consideration of their therapeutic use.
According to the invention, the use is advocated of the compounds defined by formula 1, and of their salts with non-toxic acids, preferably their pharmaceutically suitable salts, as active ingredients of medicinal products intended for mammals, man in particular, to treat pain or some diseases generally characterized by massive migration of neutrophils.
Among the diseases which can be treated by administering a therapeutically efficient quantity of at least one of the formula I compounds, mention may be made of inflammatory hyperalgesia, neuropathic pain, pain associated with trauma or cancer, inflammatory diseases of the colon, rheumatoid polyarthritis, psoriasis, chronic lung obstructions or acute respiratory distress syndrome.
The compounds of the invention, on account of their mode of action, also find use in the treatment or prevention of any pathological condition in which the B1 receptors of bradykinin are involved and in particular are over-expressed. In addition to the various forms of pain and inflammatory diseases already cited, the compounds of the invention may be used to treat:

    
    
        certain respiratory problemes such as asthma, bronchitis, pleuresy or rhinitis of allergic or viral origin,
        certain forms of diabetes,
        certain skin diseases such as dermatitis, eczema, psoriasis,
        eye diseases such as glaucoma, retinitis,
        Alzheimer's disease,
        septic shock,
        traumas, especially involving the skull,
        some cancers, in particular by slowing or inhibiting the proliferation of cancer cells and more particularly cancer of the prostate.
    
    


The invention also concerns a method for treating pain or the aforesaid diseases which consists of administering a therapeutically effective quantity of the formula I compound to patients in need thereof.
The dose of the active ingredient is dependent upon the mode of administration and type of pathology: it is generally between 0.05 and 10 mg/kg of the treated patient.
