## Abstract

The compounds according to the invention have a high affinity for the specific bile acid transport system of the small intestine and inhibit bile acid absorption in a concentration-dependent and competitive manner.

## Background
Bile acids have an important physiological the digestion of fat, for example as cofactors of pancreatic lipases and as natural detergents for the solubilization of fats and fat-soluble vitamins. As the final product of cholesterol metabolism, they are synthesized in the liver, stored in the gall bladder and released from the latter by means of contraction into the small intestine, where they display their physiological effect. The largest part of the secreted bile acids is recovered again by means of the enterohepatic circulation. They pass back to the liver again via the mesenterial veins of the small intestine and the portal vein system. During reabsorption in the intestine, both active and passive transport processes play a role. The main amount of the bile acids is reabsorbed by a specific Na.sup.+ -dependent transport system at the end of the small intestine, the terminal ileum, and they pass back to the liver with the blood of the mesenterial veins via the portal vein, in order to be secreted into the cell again by the liver cells. In the enterohepatic circulation, the bile acids appear both as free acids, but also in the form of glycerol and taurine conjugates.

Non-absorbable, insoluble, basic, cross-linked polymers have been used for some time for the binding of bile acids and are utilized therapeutically on the basis of these properties. The object of therapy is regarded as all diseases in which inhibition of gallic acid reabsorption in the intestine, in particular in the small intestine, appears desirable. For example, chologenic diarrhea after resection of the ileum, also increased cholesterol blood levels, are treated in this manner.

In the case of increased cholesterol blood level, a reduction in this level can be achieved by intervention in the enterohepatic circulation. The corresponding new synthesis of bile acids from cholesterol in the liver is forced by reduction of the bile acid pool in the enterohepatic circulation. To cover the need for cholesterol in the liver, resort is made to the LDL cholesterol (low density lipoprotein) in the blood circulation, the hepatic LDL receptors coming into effect in increased number. The acceleration of LDL catabolism thus taking place results in the reduction of the atherogenic cholesterol content in the blood. Until now, these polymeric, insoluble ion exchanger resins (known in the following as "resins") represented the only possibility of influencing the enterohepatic circulation with respect to increased bile acid excretion and consequent reduction of the cholesterol level.

In this case, the effective daily dose for the "resins" used as pharmaceuticals, for example colestyramine (contains quaternary ammonium groups) or colestipol (contains secondary or tertiary amino groups) is very high. For example, for colestyramine it is 12-24 gl highest daily dose 32 g, and 15-30 g is the recommended colestipol dose. In addition to the high dosage, taste and odor make patients, compliance difficult.

The known side effects of the "resins" originate from deficient selectivity (for example avitaminoses), which also have to be taken into account in the dosage of medicoments given simultaneously, but also from bile acid depletion which produce various gastrointestinal disorders (constipation, steatorrhea) to differing degrees. A therapeutic importance for both preparations has been described by combination with other pharmaceuticals having a hypolipidemic effect such as fibrates, HMG-CoA reductase inhibitors, probucol (cf., for example M. N. Cayen, Pharmac. Ther. 29, 187 (1985) and 8th International Symposium on Atherosclerosis, Rome, Oct. 9-13, 1988, Abstracts pp. 544, 608, 710), the effects achieved also making possible the treatment of severe hyperlipidemias. It therefore appears meaningful to find suitable substances with the given principle of action and without the disadvantages of the preparations used at present.

The following features of said preparations and in particular of colestipol are to be regarded as worthy of improvement: binding rate in the case of neutral pH in isotonic medium and the (in some cases) rerelease of the adsorbed bile acids. decreasing tendency for chenodesoxycholic acid and the increasing risk of cholelithiasis associated with it. intestinal bacteria. substitution of these substances and blood level controls possibly necessary. duodenum and upper small intestine, bile acids are available in insufficient amount for the digestion of fats, so that fat digestion disorders occur.

The object was therefore to find a pharmaceutical which was able to reduce the atherogenic cholesterol content in the blood or to influence the enterohepatic circulation with respect to increased bile acid excretion and consequent reduction of the cholesterol level, but which does not have the disadvantages of the "resins" used until now.

Surprisingly, bile acid derivatives of the formula I

have now been found in which of the free acids, the esters or amides, the salt forms and also the forms derivatized on the alcohol groups and is a bridge group or a single covalent bond, it being possible for G1 and G2 to be optionally bonded via X.

The compounds of the formula I according to the invention have a high affinity for the specific bile acid transport system of the small intestine and inhibit bile acid absorption in a concentration-dependent and competitive manner.

Furthermore, the compounds according to the invention are themselves not absorbed and thus do not pass into the blood circulation. The enterohepatic circulation of the bile acids can be interrupted very much more specifically and efficiently by the use of this new active compound principle. Intervention into the enterohepatic circulation can now be made with higher efficiency by the use of this completely new active compound principle than the "resins" have allowed until now.

The listed deficiencies of the "resins" on the market intervening in the enterohepatic circulation can be completely avoided by the use of the compounds according to the invention which work according to the new principle of action. The bile acid concentration in the enterohepatic circulation is also reduced in a substantially more effective manner by reversible inhibition of the bile acid reabsorption in the small intestine, so that a reduction in the cholesterol level in the serum takes place. Avitaminoses are then to be expected just as little on using the compounds according to the invention as the influence on the absorption of other medicoments or also the negative effect on the intestinal flora. The known side effects (constipation, steatorrhea) are additionally not observed, i.e. the digestion of fat is not influenced negatively. Because of the high affinity of the compounds according to the invention for the highly specific bile acid transport system in the small intestine, it is possible to manage with very much lower daily doses in contrast to the "resins", so that the acceptance of such pharmaceuticals by doctor and patient and the compliance of the patients is very high.

The invention further relates to a process for the preparation of compounds of the general formula I, which comprises

a) if X=a single bond, bringing suitable reactive forms of G1 and G2 to reaction with one another by processes known in principle or

b) if X=a bridging group

.alpha.) bringing reactive forms of G1-X to reaction with G2 or

.beta.) reactive forms of G2-X to reaction with G1 by processes known in principle or

c) preparing compounds of the general formula I (G1-X-G2) from G1-X1 by known or, if not known, by the processes described below in more detail, X being formed from X1 and X2 by construction of a covalent bond, in particular in the course of a condensation or substitution reaction.

a) X=single bond The bile acids G1 are employed either in free form or in protected form. After linkage with G2, which is is likewise present in free or protected form, removal of the protective groups and conversion of the C24 carboxyl function into an abovementioned derivative is optionally carried out. Suitable protective groups for the alcohol groups are expediently formyl, acetyl, tetrahydropyranyl or t-butyldimethylsilyl. Suitable protective groups for the C24 carboxyl group are various alkyl or benzyl esters, but also, for example, orthoesters.

For example, bile acid preferably reacts in position 3, but also in position 7, with activated forms of carboxylic acids, such as acid chlorides or mixed anhydrides with the addition of bases such as trialkylamine or pyridine, but also NAOH at room temperature in suitable solvents such as tetrahydrofuran, methylene chloride or ethyl acetate, but also dimethylformamide (DMF) or dimethoxyethane (DME).

The various isomers can be separated, for example, by gas chromatography.

The reaction can be carried out selectively by the use of suitable protective groups. Analogously, appropriate amino bile acids can be converted into corresponding amides. Here too, the reaction can either be carried out with protected or free bile acids.

Other compounds according to the invention can also be linked analogously according to known standard processes.

b) X=a bridge group The processes indicated under a) are also used to carry out the linkage of G1-X with G2 or G1 with X-G2. Expediently, the bile acid moiety is also either employed here in protected form or unprotected form.

A preferred preparation process comprises reacting reactive forms of G1 with reactive forms X-G2. If appropriate, the linkage is followed by the removal of protective groups and the conversion of C24 carboxyl to derivatives.

The preparation of reactive bile acid building blocks X-G is indicated in reaction schemes 1-4 as exemplified by cholic acid (for example r=0). Preparation of reactive bile acid building blocks X-G2 as exemplified by cholic acid, Schemes 1-4 ##STR10## The replacement of the 3--OH groups by diols HO(CH.sub.2).sub.n OH is carried out by reaction of the appropriate mesylates with the appropriate diols, which are preferably employed in excess, with the addition of bases such as pyridine or lutidine, but also triethylamine.

The primary OH groups of the compounds VI and XIII can be further reacted by standard methods. Thus, for example, XIII can be converted into the corresponding carboxylic acid XXII (where R(11) is equal to THP] with oxidants, preferably with chromium(VI) reagents or various potassium permanganate systems. Correspondingly, other protective groups are also suitable. ##STR11## The compounds XG2 (IX, XV, XVII or XXI) can only be reacted directly with G1 or its derivatives, or after conversion into X2-G2, converted into a compound according to the general formula I (G1-X-G2) using an appropriately modified G1-X1.

The latter case is described in part c).

c) To prepare a compound of the type X2-G2, one of the compounds IX, XV, XVII or XXI is reacted to give carboxylic acids XXIII, as here in the example, with reactive forms of carboxylic acids, for example mixed anhydrides, acid chlorides or, for example, if q=2, with succinic anhydride in a suitable solvent, such as, for example, dichloromethane, toluene or pyridine and in the presence of triethylamine at -20.degree. to room temperature. ##STR12## R(12)=H, THP, t-BuMe.sub.2 Si acetyl, benzyl, benzyloxycarbonyl (Z)

The compound (XXIII) can now in turn be reacted again with compounds IX, XV, XVII or XXI (in this case: type G1-X1) to give compounds of the general formula I in which s=O (in this case compound XXIV). ##STR13## If it is intended to prepare compounds of the general formula I in which s=1, compounds of the general formula II, for example, are reacted with compounds ##STR14## in which A, L.sub.1 and L.sub.2 have the abovementioned meaning. In the case of the ester (i.e. ##STR15## is an ester function), this is directly reacted with ##STR16## in the case of the free acid ##STR17## this must additionally be employed in the form of reactive acid derivatives, such as, for example, mixed anhydrides or acid chlorides. The compounds of the type G1-X1 formed in this manner are then converted into compounds of the type G1-X-G2 using compounds of the type G2-X2.

The abovementioned embodiments for the preparation of the compounds of the type G1-X-G2 in which the linkage of the two bile acids G1 and G2 is effected via their respective A rings also apply in modified methods correspondingly known to the person skilled in the art for linkages A-D, A-B or A-C, and also D-D, B-B, C-C, B-D, B-C or C-D.

The substituents of the bile acid G1 or G2, R.sup.1 to R.sup.10, can be introduced either before the linkage of G1 with G2 via X or else afterwards. Introduction of the substituents taking place after the linkage of G1 with G2 is only possible if the corresponding substituents are not directly involved themselves in the bridge formation between G1 or G2 and X. These substitutions are therefore preferably performed before the actual linkage reactions of G1 and G2 via X.

The invention furthermore relates to the use of the compounds according to the invention for the production of a medicoment.

For this purpose, the compounds of the general formula I are dissolved or suspended in pharmacologically acceptable organic solvents, such as mono- or polyhydric alcohols, such as, for example, ethanol or glycerol, in triacetin, oils such as, for example, sunflower oil, cod liver oil, ethers, such as, for example, diethylene glycol dimethyl ether or alternatively polyethers such as, for example, polyethylene glycol, or alternatively in the presence of other pharmacologically acceptable polymer excipients, such as, for example, polyvinylpyrrolidone, or other pharmaceutically acceptable additives such as starch, cyclodextrin or polysaccharides. The compounds according to the invention can additionally be given in combination with other pharmaceutical substances.

The compounds of the formula I are administered in various dosage forms, preferably orally in the form of tablets, capsules or liquids. The daily dose varies in the range from 3 mg to 5000 mg depending on the body weight and constitution of the patient, but preferably in the dose range 10-1000 mg.

The pharmacological data include a series of -tests in which the interaction of the compounds according to the invention with the intestinal bile acid transport system was investigated in the terminal small intestine:

1. Preparation of brush-border membrane vesicles from the ileum of rabbits

The preparation of brush-border membrane vesicles from the intestinal cells of the small intestine was carried out using the so-called Mg.sup.2+ precipitation method. Male New Zealand rabbits (2-2.5 kg body weight) were sacrificed by intravenous injection of 0.5 ml of an aqueous solution of 2.5 mg of tetracaine HCl, 100 T 61.RTM. and 25 mg of mebezonium iodide. The small intestine was removed and rinsed with ice-cold physiological saline solution. The terminal 7/10 of the small intestine (measured in the oral-rectal direction, i.e. the terminall ileum, which contains the active Na.sup.+ -dependent bile acid transport system) were used for preparation of the brush-border membrane vesicles. The intestines were frozen at -80.degree. C. under nitrogen in plastic bags. The frozen intestines were thawed in a water bath at 30.degree. C. in order to prepare the membrane vesicles. The mucosa was scraped off and suspended in 60 ml of ice-cold 12 mM trio/HCl buffer (pH 7.1)/300 mM mannitol, 5 mM EGTA/10  mg/l of phenylmethylsulfonyl fluoride/1 mg/1 of soybean trypsin inhibitor (32 U/mg)/0.5 mg/l of bovine lung trypsin inhibitor (193 U/mg)/0.5 mg/l of bacitracin. After diluting to 300 ml with ice-cold distilled water, the suspension was homogenized with ice-cooling for 3 minutes at 75% of maximum power using an Ultraturrax (18 rod, IKA Werk Staufen, Federal Republic of Germany). After addition of 3 ml of 1M MgCl.sub.2 solution (final Concentration 10 mM), the homogenate was allowed to stand at 0.degree. C. for exactly 1 minute. As a result of addition of Mg.sup.2+, the cell membranes aggregate and precipitate with the exception of the brush-border membranes. After centrifugation at 3,000.times.g (5,000 rpm, SS-34 rotor) for 15 minutes, the precipitate is discarded and the supernatant which contains the brush-border membranes is centrifuged at 26,700.times.g (15,000 rpm, SS-34 rotor) for 30 minutes. The supernatant was discarded, and the precipitate was rehomogenized in 60 ml of 12 mM tris/HCl buffer (pH 7.1)/60 mM mannitol, 5 mM EGTA using a Potter Elvejhem homogenizer (Braun Melsungen, 900 rpm, 10 strokes). After addition of 0.1 ml of 1M MgCl.sub.2 solution and an incubation time of 15 minutes at 0.degree. C., the mixture was again centrifuged at 3,000.times.g for 15 minutes. The supernatant was then again centrifuged at 46,000.times.g ( 15,000 rpm, SS-34 rotor) for 30 minutes. The precipitate was taken up in 30 ml of 10 mM tris/hepes buffer (pH 7.4) /300 mM mannitol and homogeneously resuspended by 20 strokes in a Potter Elvejhem homogenizer at 1,000 rpm. After centrifugation at 48,000.times.g (20,000 rpm, SS-34 rotor) for 30 minutes, the precipitate was taken up in 0.5 to 2 ml of tris/hepes buffer (pH 7.4)/280 mM mannitol (final concentration 20 mg/ml) and resuspended with the aid of a tuberculin syringe using a 27 gauge needle. The vesicles were either used immediately after preparation for transport investigations or stored at -196.degree. C. in liquid nitrogen in 4 mg portions.

2. Inhibition of Na.sup.+ -dependent [.sup.3 H]taurocholate absorption into brush-border membrane vesicles of the ileum

The absorption of substrates into brush-border membrane vesicles was determined by means of the so-called membrane filtration technique. 10 .mu.l of the vesicle suspension (100 .mu.g of protein) were pipetted on the wall of a polystyrene incubation tube (11.times.70 mm) as a drop which contained the incubation medium together with the corresponding ligands (90 .mu.l). The incubation medium contained 0.75 .mu.l=0.75 .mu.Ci [.sup.3 H(G)]-taurocholate (specific activity: 2.1 Ci/mmol), /0.5 .mu.l 10 mM taurocholate/ 8.75 .mu.l of sodium transport buffer (10 mM tris/hepes, (pH 7.4)/100 mM mannitol/100mM NaCl) (Na-T-B) or 8.75 .mu.l of potassium transport buffer (10 mM tris/hepes (pH 7.4)/ 100 mM mannitol/100 mM KCl) (K-T-B) and 80 .mu.l of the relevant inhibitor solution, depending on the experiment, in Na-T buffer or K-T buffer. The incubation medium was filtered through a polyvinylidene fluoride membrane filter (SYHV LO 4NS, 0.45 .mu.m, 4 mm .phi., Millipore, Eschborn, Federal Republic of Germany). The transport measurement was begun by mixing the vesicles with the incubation medium. The concentration of taurocholate in the incubation batch was 50 .mu.M. After the desired incubation time (customarily 1 min), the transport was stopped by addition of 1 ml of ice-cold stop solution (10 mM tris/hepes, (pH 7.4)/150 mM KCl). The resulting mixture was immediately filtered off with suction in a vacuum of 25 to 35 mbar through a membrane filter made of cellulose nitrate (ME 25, 0.45 .mu.m, 25 mm diameter, Schleicher & Schuell, Dassell, Federal Republic of Germany). The filter was subsequently washed with 5 ml of ice-cold stop solution.

In order to measure the absorption of the radioactively labeled taurocholate, the membrane filter was dissolved using 4 ml of the scintillator Quickszint 361 (Zinsser Analytik GmbH, Frankfurt, Federal Republic of Germany) and the radioactivity was measured by liquid scintillation counting in a TriCarb 2500 counter (Canberra Packard GmbH, Frankfurt, Federal Republic of Germany). The values measured were obtained as dpm (decompositions per minute) after calibration of the apparatus with the aid of standard samples and after correction for possible chemiluminescence.

The control values were in each case determined in NA-T-B and K-T-B. The difference between the absorption in NA-T-B and K-T-B gave the Na.sup.+ -dependent transport component. The IC.sub.50 Na.sup.+ was designated as that concentration of inhibitor at which the Na.sup.+ -dependent transport component was inhibited by 50%, relative to the control; the same applies to the data for the IC.sub.25 and IC.sub.75 values. The results are collected in Table 60.

The following examples describe the invention, but without having a restrictive effect on it. ##STR18##

16.9 g (40 mmol) of methyl cholate were initially introduced into 120 ml of N-ethyldiisopropylamine, 11.9 g (48 mmol) of diphenylmethyl bromide were added and the mixture was stirred at 100.degree. C. for 4 hours. For working-up, 250 g of ice/20 ml of sulfuric acid were added after cooling and the mixture was extracted with ethyl acetate (3.times.). The combined organic phases were dried with magnesium sulfate and evaporated. Chromatography on silica gel (n-heptane/ethyl acetate=3:1) gave 11.8 g (20 mmol, 50%) of "Example 1"
