## Background
TECHNICAL FIELD
The present invention relates to a carboxylic acid compound. More particularly, the present invention relates to:
(1) a carboxylic acid compound represented by formula (I)




(in the formula, all symbols have the same meanings as those which will be mentioned later) and a non-toxic salt thereof,

(2) a process for producing the same and
(3) a pharmaceutical agent containing the same as an active ingredient.
BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION
Prostaglandin D2 (abbreviated as PGD2) has been known as one of metabolites produced via an arachidonic acid cascade and is considered to be one of chemical mediators participating in allergic diseases such as allergic rhinitis, bronchial asthma and allergic conjunctivitis. It has been known that PGD2 is mainly produced in and released from mast cells and that the PGD2 released shows contraction of bronchus, promotion of vascular permeability, dilation or contraction of blood vessels, promotion of mucus secretion and inhibition of platelet aggregation. It has been also reported that PGD2 induces bronchoconstriction and nasal obstruction in vivo as well and increased amounts of production of PGD2 in pathological lesion of patients suffering from systemic mastocytosis, allergic rhinitis, bronchial asthma, atopic dermatitis, urticaria, etc. (N. Engl. J. Med. 1989; 303: 1400-4, Am. Rev. Respir. Dis. 1983; 128: 597-602, J. Allergy Clin. Immunol. 1991; 88: 33-42, Arch. Otolaryngol. Head Neck Surg. 1987; 113: 179-83, J. Allergy Clin. Immunol. 1988; 82: 869-77, J. Immunol. 1991; 146: 671-6, J. Allergy Clin. Immunol. 1989; 83: 905-12, N. Eng. J. Med. 1986; 315: 800-4, Am. Rev. Respir. Dis. 1990; 142, 126-32, J. Allergy Clin. Immunol. 1991; 87: 540-8, J. Allergy Clin. Immunol 1986; 78: 458-61). PGD2 has been also reported to participate in nerve activity, particularly in sleeping, hormone secretion and pain. Furthermore, it has been also reported that it participates in platelet aggregation, glycogen metabolism and adjustment of intraocular pressure.
PGD2 exerts its biological activity via binding to a DP receptor, which is one of PGD2 receptors. Since DP receptor antagonists bind to its receptor and show antagonistic activity, DP receptor antagonists have been believed to be useful for prevention and/or treatment of diseases such as allergic diseases (e.g., allergic rhinitis, allergic conjunctivitis, atopic dermatitis, bronchial asthma and food allergy), systemic mastocytosis, disorders accompanied by systemic mast cell activation, anaphylactic shock, bronchoconstriction, urticaria, eczema, acne, allergic bronchial pulmonary aspergillosis, sinusitis, migraine, nasal polypus, anaphylactic vasculitis, eosinophilic syndrome, contact dermatitis, diseases accompanied by itch (e.g., atopic dermatitis, urticaria, allergic conjunctivitis, allergic rhinitis and contact dermatitis), diseases (e.g., cataract, retinal detachment, inflammation, infection and sleeping disorders) which are generated secondarily as a result of behavior accompanied by itch (e.g., scratching and beating), inflammation, chronic obstructive pulmonary diseases, ischemic reperfusion injury, cerebrovascular accident, autoimmune disease, traumatic brain disorder, hepatopathy, graft rejection, chronic rheumatoid arthritis, pleurisy, osteoarthritis, Crohn's disease, ulcerative colitis, irritable bowel syndrome, etc. It also participates in sleep and platelet aggregation and is believed to be useful for those diseases as well.
For example, in the specification of WO 86/05779, compounds represented by formula (T) are useful as antagonists for SRS-A (slow reacting substance of anaphylaxis):




(in the formula, AT is a hydrogen atom, phenyl or phenoxy; nT is an integer from 3 to 10; R1T is a hydrogen atom or a lower alkoxy; X1T is —CH2—Y1T— (in the group, Y1T is —O—, —S— or —NH—), —CO—Y2T— (in the group, Y2T is —O—, —S— or —NH—), etc.;





is a group represented by the formula





etc.; R2T is a hydrogen atom, a halogen atom, nitro, hydroxyl, lower alkoxy, cyano, lower alkyl, lower alkoxy lower alkyl, halo lower alkyl or a group represented by —NR4TR5T—, etc.;

X2T is a formula —Y3T-Y4T— (in the group, Y3T is a single bond, —O—, —S— or —NH— and Y4T is a C1-6 alkylene which may be interrupted by sulfur atom), etc.; and
DT is carboxyl or a lower alkoxycarbonyl and the like).
In prostaglandin receptors, there are many receptors including subtypes and each of them has a different pharmacological action. Now, if novel compounds which specifically binds to a DP receptor and binds weakly to other prostaglandin receptors are able to be found, they can be pharmaceuticals having little side effect since no other functions are not exerted. Therefore, there has been a demand for finding such pharmaceuticals.

[Pharmacological Activity of the Compound of the Present Invention]
Hereinafter, experimental examples evaluating the activity of the compounds of the present invention for the DP receptor will be explained. Although method for the measurement is mentioned, for example, in the specification of WO 96/23066, the inventors of the present invention made several improvements in order to measure the activity of the test substances to the DP receptor easily and accurately. To be more specific, as is shown in the following experimental examples, it was conducted using Chinese hamster ovary (CHO) cells stably expressing the human DP receptor.
(i) Ligand Binding Using Cells Expressing the Prostanoid DP Receptor
Chinese hamster ovary (CHO) cells expressing the human DP receptor were cultivated and, according to a common method, membrane fraction was prepared.
The membrane fraction (50 μL) (protein content: 40 to 150 μg), 100 μL of an assay buffer (25 mmol/L HEPES-NaOH containing 1 mmol/L EDTA, 5 mmol/L Mg2+ and 10 mmol/L Mn2+; pH 7.4), 1 μL of a vehicle (dimethyl sulfoxide; DMSO) or the compound of the present invention (final concentration of DMSO: 0.5%) and 50 μL of 10 nmol/L [3H]-PGD2 (final concentration: 2.5 nmol/L) were added to a polyethylene tube, and an incubation mixture was incubated at the room temperature. In a non-specific binding group, 2 mmol/L PGD2 was added instead of the vehicle (final concentration of PGD2: 10 μmol/L). Twenty minutes later, 1 mL of ice-cold wash buffer (10 mmol/L Tris-HCl buffer containing 0.01% bovine serum albumin (BSA) and 100 mmol/L NaCl; pH 7.4) was added to the tube to terminate the reaction. Immediately, the membrane fraction was collected on a glass fiber filter (GF/B) by filtration under reduced pressure. The membrane fraction on the glass fiber filter was washed once with approximately 2 mL of wash buffer and the glass fiber filter was dried. The dried glass fiber filter was place in a glass vial, a liquid scintillation cocktail was added thereto and radioactivity was measured by a liquid scintillation counter.
A specific binding of [3H]-PGD2 to the DP receptor was calculated by subtracting the radioactivity in the non-specific binding group from those in the groups other than the non-specific binding group. An inhibition by the compound of the present invention was calculated base on the specific binding of [3H]-PGD2 in the vehicle and the present invention groups. The Ki value (dissociation constant of the compound of the present invention) was calculated according to the following formula using the estimated IC50 value (concentration of the compound of the present invention required to inhibit the specific binding in the vehicle group by 50%).

Ki=IC50/(1+([L]*/Kd))

    
    
        [L]*: Concentration of [3H]-PGD2 (2.5 nmol/L)
        Kd: Dissociation constant of [3H]-PGD2 
    
    


The Kd value of [3H]-PGD2 was estimated from a non-linear regression analysis after calculating the specific bindings of [3H]-PGD2 upon addition of various concentrations of [3H]-PGD2 in accordance with the above-mentioned method.
From the results of the above measurement, it was found that the compounds of the present invention strongly bound to the DP receptor at the Ki values of not more than 10 μmol/L.
(ii) Measurement of Antagonistic Activity Against the DP Receptor Using Cells Expressing the Prostanoid DP Receptor
CHO cells stably expressing the human DP receptor was constructed; seeded on a 24-well culture plate at a cell density of 1×105 cells/well and incubated at 37° C. for 2 days in 5% CO2. Each well was washed with 500 μL of MEM (minimum essential medium) and the cells were incubated at 37° C. for 10 minutes after adding 500 μL of MEM containing 2 μmol/L of diclofenac. After removal of the supernatant by aspiration, 450 μL of an MEM containing 1 mmol/L 3-isobutyl-1-methylxanthine, 2 μmol/L diclofenac and 1% BSA (assay medium) was added, followed by incubation at 37° C. for 10 minutes. Reaction was initiated by addition of 50 μL of an assay medium containing PGD2 and vehicle or an assay medium containing PGD2 and the compound of the present invention (final concentration of PGD2: 10 nmol/L), followed by incubation at 37° C. Ten minutes later, 500 μL of ice-cold trichloroacetic acid (TCA, 10% w/v) was added to terminate the reaction. After freezing (−80° C.) and thawing the reaction mixture once, the cells were detached therefrom using a cell scraper followed by centrifugation at 13,000 rpm for 3 minutes. The resultant supernatant was collected and cAMP concentration in the supernatant was determined by a radioimmunoassay using a cAMP assay kit (manufactured by Amersham). Thus, a buffer from the [125I]cAMP assay kit was added to a 125 μL aliquot of the above-prepared supernatant to be the volume of 500 μL and the resultant solution was mixed with 1 mL of 0.5 mol/L tri-n-octylamine in chloroform. After extraction of TCA into a chloroform layer, the amount of cAMP in an aqueous layer was quantified according to the procedure mentioned in the [125I]cAMP assay kit.
Potency of the antagonistic activity of the compound of the present invention for the DP receptor was expressed as an IC50 value (a concentration of the compound of the present invention which is necessary to suppress the cAMP production in the absence of the compound of the present invention by 50%). The IC50 value was calculated from inhibitory percentage to the cAMP production obtained by 10 nmol/L PGD2, at which PGD2 elicited a submaximum cAMP production.
From the above-mentioned measuring results, it was found that the compounds of the present invention strongly antagonized the DP receptor at the IC50 values of not more than 10 μmol/L.
