## Background
CROSS-REFERENCE TO RELATED APPLICATION
This application claims under 35 U.S.C. §119(a) the benefit of Korean Patent Application No. 10-2014-0058621 filed on May 15, 2014, the entire contents of which are incorporated herein by reference.
BACKGROUND
1. Technical Field
The present invention relates to N-(pyrazolylmethyl)arylsulfonamide derivatives useful as calcium ion channel blockers, pharmaceutically acceptable salts thereof, and the medicinal use thereof as therapeutic agents using their calcium ion channel blocking effect.
2. Background Art
Voltage-gated calcium ion channels play an important role in intracellular signal transmission by increasing calcium inflow to cells in response to neural stimuli. These calcium channels are classified as high-voltage activated calcium channels and low-voltage activated calcium channels. Representative among low-voltage activated calcium channels are T-type calcium channels.
T-type calcium ion channels are found in central muscles, endocrine glands in the adrenal, sinoatrial node, heart, etc. T-type calcium channel antagonists are known to exert therapeutic effects on cerebral and cardiac diseases such as epilepsy, hypertension, angina pectoris, etc. [1) Hosravani, Houman et al., “Effects of Cav3.2 channel mutations linked to idiopathic generalized epilepsy”, Annals of Neurology (2005), 57 (5), 745-749; 2) Vitko, Iuliia et al., “Functional characterization and neuronal modeling of the effects of childhood absence epilepsy variants of CACNA1H, a T-type calcium channel”, Journal of Neuroscience (2005), 25 (19), 4844-4855; 3) Clozel, Cardiovas Drugs Ther. (1990), 4, pp. 731-736; 4) Hefti, Arzneimittelforschung (1990), 40, 417-421; 5) Moosmang, Sven et al., “Antihypertensive Effects of the Putative T-Type Calcium Channel Antagonist Mibefradil Are Mediated by the L-Type Calcium Channel Cav1. 2”, Circulation Research (2006), 98 (1), 105-110].
T-type calcium channels are also involved in cancer cell growth, and T-type calcium channel blockers are reported to be useful as anti-cancer agents inhibiting cancer cell growth [“Functional role of T-type calcium channel in tumor growth and progression: prospective in cancer therapy” British Journal of Pharmacology, (2012), 166, 1244-1246].
In addition, recent reports have disclosed therapeutic effects of T-type calcium ion channel blockers on pain. Briefly, Mibefradil and Ethosuximide, both known as T-type calcium ion channel antagonists, were reported to reverse mechanical and thermal pain induction dose-dependently in a spinal nerve ligation animal model, demonstrating that the T-type calcium ion channel antagonists have a therapeutic effect on neuropathic pain [Dogrul, Ahmet et al., “Reversal of experimental neuropathic pain by T-type calcium channel blockers”, Pain, 2003, 105, 159-168].
Mibefradil, developed as a T-type calcium ion channel antagonist (Mibefradil, Ro 40-5967, WO 98/49149), was used to treat hypertension and angina pectoris, but was withdrawn from the market due to the unfavorable drug-drug interaction caused by cytochromes P-450 3A4 and 2D6. Substantially no drugs are available as T-type calcium ion channel blockers, and therefore the need for the development of a novel T-type calcium ion channel blocker is urgent.
WO 2005/073197 discloses derivatives of N′-(1,5-diphenyl-1H-pyrazol-3-yl)sulfonamide, represented by the following Chemical Formula A:




In this patent document, the compound of Chemical Formula A is demonstrated to have antagonistic activity against the cannabinoid receptor type 1 (CB1), and described to be useful for the treatment of appetite disorders, gastric disorders, inflammations, immune system diseases, psychotic disorders, alcohol dependence, and nicotine dependence.
Leading to the present invention, intensive and thorough research into the development of novel compounds acting on calcium ion channels was carried out, and was found that novel N-(pyrazolylmethyl)arylsulfonamide derivatives exhibit excellent antagonistic activity against T-type calcium ion channels. The novel compounds of the present invention, which have a substituted or unsubstituted phenyl group at either N1 or C5 position of the pyrazole ring moiety, and an alkyl group at the position, not occupied by the phenyl group, exhibit excellent antagonistic activity against T-type calcium ion channels.
SUMMARY
It is an object of the present invention to provide novel N-(pyrazolylmethyl)arylsulfonamide derivatives with a variety of substituents, and pharmaceutically acceptable salts thereof.
It is another object of the present invention to provide pharmaceutical compositions for the treatment and prevention of cerebral diseases, cardiac diseases, cancerous diseases, or pain syndromes, the composition comprising the N-(pyrazolylmethyl)arylsulfonamide derivative or a pharmaceutically acceptable salt thereof as an active ingredient functioning to effectively block T-type calcium ion channels.
To accomplish the above objects, the present invention provides N-(pyrazolylmethyl)arylsulfonamide derivatives, represented by the following Chemical Formula 1, having selective antagonistic activity against T-type calcium ion channels, and pharmaceutically acceptable salts thereof.

Contemplated in accordance with another aspect of the present invention is a method for preparing an N-(pyrazolylmethyl)arylsulfonamide derivatives represented by Chemical Formula 1.
A method for preparing the compound of Chemical Formula 1a in accordance with an embodiment of the present invention can be carried out as representatively illustrated in the following Reaction Scheme 1. According to the preparation method of the Reaction Scheme 1, a pyrazolylmethylamine compound of Chemical Formula 2 is subjected to a nucleophilic substitution reaction with a sulfonyl halide compound of Chemical Formula 3, followed by alkylating the nucleophilic substitution product with an alkyl halide, represented by R2—X, to prepare N-(pyrazolylmethyl)arylsulfonamide derivatives, represented by Chemical Formula 1, in which various substituents R2 are introduced.




(wherein R1, R2, R3, R4, R5, and n are respectively as defined above).
In Scheme 1, the nucleophilic substitution reaction and the alkylation may be carried out with typical processes using suitable bases and organic solvents known in the art. Within the scope of the bases useful in the reactions, inorganic salts such as carbonates, sulfates and hydroxides of alkali metals or alkaline earth metals, or organic bases such as mono(C1-C5 alkyl)amine and di(C1-C5 alkyl)amine may fall. The solvents may be inert organic solvents typically used in the art, without influence on the reactions. Concrete examples of the organic solvents available in the present invention include lower alcohols of 1 to 6 carbon atoms such as methanol, ethanol, propanol, etc.; ethers such as diethyl ether, tetrahydrofuran, etc.; halogenated hydrocarbons such as chloroform, methylene chloride, etc.; nitriles such as acetonitrile, etc.; and amides such as N,N-dimethylformamide, N,N-dimethylacetamide, etc. The reactions of Scheme 1 may be conducted at 0° C. to the reflux temperature of the used solvent. In more detail, the reaction temperature may range from room temperature to 100° C., and preferably from 30° C. to 60° C.
As a starting material in Scheme 1, the pyrazolylmethylamine compound represented by Chemical Formula 2 may be prepared using the method illustrated in the following Reaction Scheme 2.




(wherein R3, R4, and R5 are respectively as defined above)
As can be seen in Reaction Scheme 2, the preparation method comprises: reacting an ester compound of Chemical Formula 4 with an R5-substituted hydrazine compound to form a pyrazol-3-yl carboxylate compound of Chemical Formula 5; reducing the pyrazol-3-ylcarboxylate compound of Chemical Formula 5 into a pyrazol-3-ylaldehyde of Chemical Formula 6; condensing the pyrazol-3-ylaldehyde compound of Chemical Formula 6 with hydroxylamine (NH2OH) to synthesize a pyrazole-3-oxime compound of Chemical Formula 7; reducing the pyrazole-3-oxime compound of Chemical Formula 7 in the presence of lithium aluminum hydride (LAH) to afford the pyrazolylmethylamine compound of Chemical Formula 2.
In addition, the compound of Chemical Formula 1b may be prepared using a method illustrated in the following Reaction Scheme 3. As can be seen in Reaction Scheme 3, the N-(pyrazolylmethyl)arylsulfonamide derivative of Chemical-Formula 1b is prepared by subjecting a 1,2-benzisothiazoline-1,1-dioxide compound of Chemical Formula 8 to a substitution reaction with a pyrazolylmethyl halide compound of Chemical Formula 9 in the presence of a base.




(wherein R3, R4, and R5 are respectively as defined above, and Y is a leaving group selected from among a halogen atom, tosylate, and mesylate)
The substitution reaction in Reaction Scheme 3 may be carried out in a typical process using the same bases and organic solvents as in the nucleophilic substitution reaction and alkylation of Reaction Scheme 1. In the Example section described later, for the most part, potassium carbonate is used as a base while the solvent is selected from among methylene chloride and N,N-dimethylformamide, but it should be understood that other bases and solvents can be employed. As for the reaction temperature for the substitution reaction, its range may be from 0° C. to the reflux temperature of the solvent used, and more preferably from 20° C. to 40° C.
As starting materials in Reaction Scheme 3, 1,2-benzisothiazoline-1,1-dioxide of Chemical Formula 8, and pyrazolylmethyl halide of Chemical Formula 9 are well known in the art, and may be readily synthesized using typical methods as illustrated in Reaction Schemes 4 and 5, respectively.








(wherein Y represents a leaving group selected from among a halogen atom, tosylate, and mesylate).
Further, pharmaceutically acceptable salts of the compound represented by Chemical Formula 1 can be readily prepared using a typical method disclosed in documents, and can be isolated as pure forms without any purification processes. Below, explanation is made of a preparation method of pharmaceutically acceptable salts of the compound represented by Chemical Formula 1, with a focus imposed on hydrochloride. The N-(pyrazolylmethyl)arylsulfonamide derivative represented by Chemical Formula 1 was dissolved in dichloromethane, and then 1 to 10 equivalents of a hydrogen chloride solution was added to give a hydrochloride of the target compound as solid. An organic solvent available for preparing a hydrogen chloride solution may be selected from among chloroform, dichloromethane, diethyl ether, methanol, ethyl acetate or a mixture thereof, with diethyl ether being preferred. The product in a solid state may be isolated by centrifugation or by a simple solvent remover like cotton. The solid is washed two or three times with 1 to 2 mL of diethyl ether, and dried to give a hydrochloride with high purity. The N-(pyrazolylmethyl)arylsulfonamide derivative represented by Chemical Formula 1, or an acid salt thereof is a novel compound. This acid salt compound, produced as a result of the reaction of the compound of Chemical Formula 1 with a typical organic or inorganic acid, may be in the form of hydrogen chloride salt, sulfuric acid salt, acetic acid salt, etc. Therefore, the compound, represented by Chemical Formula 2 as a novel intermediate, an acid salt thereof, and a preparation method thereof also fall within the scope of the present invention.
The N-(pyrazolylmethyl)arylsulfonamide derivatives represented by Chemical Formula 1, or a pharmaceutically acceptable salts thereof in accordance with the present invention has activity as a T-type calcium ion channel antagonist. Hence, a pharmaceutical composition comprising the novel compound of Chemical Formula 1 as an active ingredient is also within the scope of the present invention.
Comprising the N-(pyrazolylmethyl)arylsulfonamide derivatives represented by Chemical Formula 1 or a pharmaceutically acceptable salts thereof as an active ingredient, the composition of the present invention can be used as an agent effective for the therapy and prophylaxis of cerebral diseases, cardiac diseases, cancer, or pain diseases linked with T-type calcium ion channels. In detail, the diseases effectively treated or prevented by the novel compound of the present invention include cerebral diseases such as epilepsy, depression, dementia, sleep disorder, diabetes, obesity, etc.; heart diseases such as hypertension, cardiac arrhythmia, angina pectoris, myocardial infarction, and congestive heart failure; cancer, such as hepatic cancer, lung cancer, rectal cancer, prostate cancer, breast cancer, uterine cancer, esophageal cancer, brain cancer, etc.; pain syndrome such as chronic and acute pain, neuropathic pain, etc.
The pharmaceutical composition of the present invention may be formulated, together with a carrier, an additive and/or an excipient, into dosage forms typical in the pharmaceutical field. For example, oral dosage forms or non-oral dosage forms such as tablets, capsules, troches, solutions, suspensions, etc. may be used. In addition, the effective dosage of the compound represented by Chemical Formula 1 depends on various factors, including the patient's age, weight, gender, route of administration, state of health, severity of diseases, etc. Typically, the compound according to the present invention may be administered at a daily dose ranging from 0.01 to 400 mg. The compound may be administered in a single dose or may be divided into multiple doses per day according to the instructions of a physician or pharmacist.
A better understanding of the present invention may be obtained through the following examples which are set forth to illustrate, but are not to be construed as limiting the present invention.

Test Examples
Assay for Antagonistic Activity Against T-Type Calcium Ion Channel
The novel compounds, represented by Chemical Formula 1, of the present invention were assayed for antagonistic activity against T-type calcium ion channels as follows.
After being synthesized, the compounds were primarily screened for inhibitory activity against T-type channels using a high-throughput screening device FDSS6000, and selection was made of the synthetic compounds that blocked T-type channels at an inhibitory rate of 40% or higher. In a secondary screening process, the selected compounds were examined for the effective inhibitory concentration IC50 by measuring Ca2+ potentials in human HEK293 cells.
1) Screening for Inhibitory Activity Against T-Type Calcium Ion Channels Using FDSS6000
Using Titertek Multidrop Plate Dispenser, HEK293 cell line cells that stably expressed alG T-type calcium ion channel and Kir2.1 (α1G cell line: KCTC 10519BP, Korean Human Gene Bank of the Korea Research Institute of Bioscience and Biotechnology) were seeded at a density of 4×104 cells/well into 96-well plates that were treated with poly-L-lysine (0.05 mg/ml) 12 ̃24 hrs before activity screening. On the day of test, the cells adherent to the 96-well plates were washed three times with a HEPES buffer (150 mM NaCl, 5 mM KCl, 1 mM MgCl2, 2 mM CaCl2, 10 mM HEPES, 10 mM glucose, pH 7.4) using a 96-well plate washer (Bio Tek), and then stained with a fluorescent dye by treatment with a HEPES containing 5 μM fluo-3/AM and 0.001% Pluronic F-127 for 1 hr at room temperature. Again, the cells were washed twice with a HEPES buffer. Ten minutes before reading on FDSS6000, the cells were washed once with a HEPES buffer containing 10 mM CaCl2, and the final volume per well was adjusted to 81 μL. Separately from the 96-well plates in which cells were contained, two 96-well plates were prepared so as to contain KCl (final concentration 75 mM), which activates T-type calcium ion channels, and blocker drugs therein. Since most cell-based HTS devices, although provided with a liquid application system necessary for drug infusion, have no liquid absorption systems, blocker drugs to be searched for and KCl were individually prepared into a 5-fold higher concentration in 27 μL of 10 mM CaCl2 HEPES. The concentration was 1/5 diluted into a final volume of 135 μL in each well before measurement. For the FDSS6000 measurements, cells were pre-incubated with drugs for 75 seconds after the 20-sec baseline recordings, and a change in intracellular calcium concentration induced by KCl was measured. The percent inhibition by a test compound was calculated as integrated values of 340/380 fluorescent ratio of untreated and drug-treated cells.
For accurate calcium-imaging, the light source of 4 xenon lamps in FDSS6000 were irradiated to make the cells exposed selectively to the excitation wavelength (340 nm and 380 nm) by computer-controlled filter wheel. Data was obtained at regular intervals of each 1.23 second. The emitter fluorescence light flew in through a long-pass filter was obtained as an average 340/380 ratio value for each well in the 96-wells by using CCD camera and digital fluorescence analyzer in FDSS6000. All image data and analyses were obtained by using FDSS6000-exclusive program provide from Hamamatsu Photonics.
2) Measurement of T-Type Calcium Ion Channel Activity in HEK293 Cells Using Electrophysiological Whole Cell Patch Clamp Method
Dulbecco's modified Eagle's medium (DMEM) supplemented with 10% fetal bovine serum (FBS) and 1% penicillin/streptomycin (v/v) was employed. The cells were cultured at 36.5° C. in a humidified condition of 95% air/5% CO2 in an incubator. The medium was refreshed every 3 or 4 days while the cells were sub-cultured every week, with the growth of only α1G T-type calcium ion channel-expressing cells in the presence of G-418 (0.5 mg/mL). The recording to the cells used in the T-type calcium channel activity analysis was conducted 2-7 days after the cells were culturing on a cover slip coated with poly-L-lysine (0.5 mg/mL) when conducting every sub-culture. For analysis at a single cell level, the T-type calcium channel current was measured by an electrophysiological whole cell patch clamp method using EPC-9 amplifier (HEKA, German). For use in analyzing T-type calcium channel activity, an extracellular contained 140 mM NaCl, 2 mM CaCl2, and 10 mM HEPES (pH 7.4) and an intracellular solution contained 130 mM KCl, 10 mM HEPES, 11 mM EDTA, and 5 mM MgATP (pH 7.4). The activation protocol for T-type calcium channels that are activated at low voltage is as follows: A micro glass electrode with a resistance of 3-4 M MQ that was filled with the above prepared intracellular solution was pricked into a single cell to make a whole-cell recording mode. Thereafter, the cell membrane potential was fixed to −100 mV, and then the inward currents of T-type calcium channels were evoked by the test pulses of −30 mV for 50 ms at a holding potential of −100 mV every 10 seconds. Each compound was dissolved in 100% dimethyl sulfoxide (DMSO) to make a 10 mM stock solution. The effect of the compound on T-type calcium channel current was initially examined in a 10 μM (containing 0.1% DMSO) solution, which was 1000-fold diluted from the stock solution, and then in solutions that were likely to exhibit the inhibition effects for IC50 (mostly in the range of 0.1 to 100 μM). More specifically, the cells were treated each compound, together with the extracellular solution, for 30 to 60 seconds, and the inhibition level of the inward peak currents by a test compound was calculated as a percentage from which the IC50 values were determined. The results are summarized in the Table 1.

3) In Vivo Assay for Suppressive Activity of Neuropathic Pain in Animal Model
Of 30 rats, 19 were selected by behavioral test, and neuropathic pain was induced in them by surgery. Two weeks later, a behavioral test was performed to confirm the perfect induction of neuropathic pain in 13 rats. They were randomly grouped, together with the other rats that were not in this behavioral test because of insufficient or no introduction of neuropathic pain. Gabapentin was orally administered at a dose of 100 mg/kg to 4 rats while the compound of the present invention was orally administered at a dose of 100 mg/kg to the other 6 rats in the same group.
Therapeutic effects of Compound 1 and 7 of the present invention are depicted in FIGS. 1 and 2, respectively.
Anticancer Effect Screening Test
1) Culture of Cancer Cells
The cancer cell lines HT-1080 (Human Fibroblastoma) U87-MG (Human Glioma), LNCap (Human Prostate Carcinoma), and KYSE410 (Human Esophageal Carcinoma) were employed for assaying test compounds for anticancer activity. These cancer cells, all derived from humans, were purchased from the Korean Cell Line Bank, and maintained in RPMI 1640 supplemented with 10% fetal bovine serum in an incubator (37° C., 5% CO2), with a cell passage with 0.25% trypsin-1 mM EDTA every three days.
2) Measurement of Anticancer Activity
The SRB (sulforhodamine B) assay method, which was developed in 1989 by the National Cancer Institute to evaluate drugs for in vitro anticancer activity, was used to measure the growth of cancer cells.
For this assay, the cells at passages were separated from the surfaces of well plates using a trypsin-EDTA solution, and seeded at a density of 5×103 cells/well into 96-well plates. After 24 hrs of incubation in a CO2 incubator, the medium was removed. A 4-fold dilution of each of the compounds was added in an amount of 100 μL to each well, and the cells were incubated for 48 hrs. The cells were fixed by adding 100 μL of formalin to each well, washed five times with distilled water, dried at room temperature. The cells in each well were stained with 100 μL of 0.4% SRB for 30 min. at room temperature, washed five times with 1% acetic acid, and dried at room temperature. The bound protein stain was solubilized with 200 μL of 10 mM Trizma base (pH 10.5) in each well. The optical density was read at 540 nm.
To calculate pharmaceutical efficacy of test compounds in cancer cells, GI50 was calculated according to the following Equation 1 or 2:
