Description: AROMATIC C 16 - C 2 o - SUBSTITUTED TETRAHYDRO PROSTAGLANDINS USEFUL AS FP AGONISTS TECHNICAL FIELD The subject invention relates to certain novel analogs of the naturally occurring prostaglandins. Specifically, the subject invention relates to novel Prostaglandin F analogs. The subject invention further relates to methods of using said novel Prostaglandin F analogs. Preferred uses include methods of treating bone disorders and glaucoma. BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION Naturally occurring prostaglandins (PGA, PGB, PGE, PGF, and PGI) are C-20 unsaturated fatty acids. PGF 2α , the naturally occurring Prostaglandin F in humans, is characterized by hydroxyl groups at the Cg and C-| -| positions on the alicyclic ring, a cis-double bond between C5 and CQ, and a trans-double bond between C-13 and C14. Thus PGF 2α has the following formula: PGF 2α Analogs of naturally occurring Prostaglandin F have been disclosed in the art. For example, see U.S. Patent No. 4,024,179 issued to Bindra and Johnson on May 17, 1977; German Patent No. DT-002,460,990 issued to Beck, Lerch, Seeger, and Teufel published on July 1 , 1976; U.S. Patent No. 4,128,720 issued to Hayashi, Kori, and Miyake on December 5, 1978; U.S. Patent No. 4,011 ,262 issued to Hess, Johnson, Bindra, and Schaaf on March 8, 1977; U.S. Patent No. 3,776,938 issued to Bergstrom and Sjovall on December 4, 1973; P.W.

Naturally occurring prostaglandins are known to possess a wide range of pharmacological properties. For example, prostaglandins have been shown to: relax smooth muscle, which results in vasodilatation and bronchodilatation, to inhibit gastric acid secretion, to inhibit platelet aggregation, to reduce intraocular pressure, and to induce labor. Although naturally occurring prostaglandins are characterized by their activity against a particular prostaglandin receptor, they generally are not specific for any one prostaglandin receptor. Therefore, naturally-occurring prostaglandins are known to cause side effects such as inflammation, as well as surface irritation when administered systemically. It is generally believed that the rapid metabolism of the naturally occurring prostaglandins following their release in the body limits some of the effects of the prostaglandin to a local area. This effectively prevents the prostaglandin from stimulating prostaglandin receptors throughout the body and causing the effects seen with the systemic administration of naturally occurring prostaglandins. Prostaglandins, especially prostaglandins of the E series (PGE), are known to be potent stimulators of bone resorption. PGF 2α has also been shown to be a stimulator of bone resorption but not as potent as PGE 2 . Also, it has been demonstrated the PGF 2α has little effect on bone formation. It has been suggested that some of the effects of PGF 2α on bone resorption, formation and cell replication may be mediated by an increase in endogenous PGE 2 production. In view of both the wide range of pharmacological properties of naturally occurring prostaglandins and of the side effects seen with the systemic administration of these naturally occurring prostaglandins, attempts have been made to prepare analogs to the naturally occurring prostaglandins that are selective for a specific receptor or receptors. A number of such analogs have been disclosed in the art. Though a variety of prostaglandin analogs have been disclosed, there is a continuing need for potent, selective prostaglandin analogs for the treatment of a variety diseases and conditions.

Thus, at all stereocenters where stereochemistry is not defined (Cn, C 12 , C 15 , and C 16 ), both epimers are envisioned. Preferred stereochemistry at all such stereocenters of the compounds of the invention mimic that of naturally occurring PGF 2α . It has been discovered that the novel PGF analogs of the subject invention are useful for treating bone disorders, especially those that require a significant increase in bone mass, bone volume, or bone strength. Surprisingly, the compounds of the subject invention have been found to provide the following advantages over known bone disorder therapies: (1) An increase trabecular number through formation of new trabeculae; (2) An increase in bone mass and bone volume while maintaining a more normal bone turnover rate; and (3) An increase in bone formation at the endosteal surface without increasing cortical porosity. In order to determine and assess pharmacological activity, testing of the subject compounds in animals is carried out using various assays known to those skilled in the art. For example, the bone activity of the subject compounds can be conveniently demonstrated using an assay designed to test the ability of the subject compounds to increase bone volume, mass, or density. An example of such assays is the ovariectomized rat assay. In the ovariectomized rat assay, six-month old rats are ovariectomized, aged 2 months, and then dosed once a day subcutaneously with a test compound. Upon completion of the study, bone mass and/or density can be measured by dual energy x- ray absorptometry (DXA) or peripheral quantitative computed tomography (pQCT), or micro computed tomography (mCT). Alternatively, static and dynamic histomorphometry can be used to measure the increase in bone volume or formation. Pharmacological activity for glaucoma can be demonstrated using assays designed to test the ability of the subject compounds to decrease intraocular pressure. Examples of such assays are described in the following reference, incorporated herein: C. liljebris, G. Selen, B. Resul, J. Sternschantz, and U. Hacksell, "Derivatives of 17- Phenyl-18,19,20-trinorprostaglandin F 2 α Isopropyl Ester: Potential Antiglaucoma Agents", Journal of Medicinal Chemistry. Vol. 38 No. 2 (1995), pp. 289-304. Compounds useful in the subject invention can be made using conventional organic syntheses. Particularly preferred syntheses include the following two general reaction schemes: Scheme 1 In Scheme 1 , R-| , R 2 , R3, R4, X, and Z are as defined above. The Methyl 7[3- (R)-hydroxy-5-oxo-1-cyclopent-1-yl] heptanoate (S1a) depicted as starting material for Scheme 1 is commercially available (such as from the Sumitomo Chemical Company, Tokyo, Japan or the Cayman Chemical Company, Ann Arbor, Ml). In the above Scheme 1 , Methyl 7[3-(R)-hydroxy-5-oxo-1-cyclopent-1-yl] heptanoate (S1a) is protected, preferably as a silyl ether, and is subjected to conditions which result in a 1 ,4 addition reaction of a suitably-substituted carbon nucleophile. For example, a cuprate addition of a homo-allyl alkene may be used. These manipulations result in ketones of the type depicted by S1b, which are readily reduced to alcohols, preferably with a boron reducing agent. These alcohols can be protected if needed during further manipulations. These manipulations are followed by the epoxidation of the olefin with a mild epoxidizing agent, such as meta chloroperbenzoic acid, to give compounds of the type depicted by S1c. These epoxides are reacted with oxygen nucleophiles under a great variety of conditions, but especially in the presence of Lewis acids, to create compounds depicted by Formula I. Examples 4 and 5 illustrate compounds of Formula I. Compounds depicted by Formula II are readily made from compounds of Formula I by their reaction with known ester manipulating reagents. For example, hydroxylamine transforms the ester functionality into a hydroxamic acid and LiOH transforms the ester to an acid. Examples 1-3 and 13-16 illustrate compounds of Formula II. To create compounds depicted by Formula III, (Illustrated by Example 20) compounds are treated with a variety of agents known to transform secondary alcohols into halides, ethers, amines, sulfides and sulfoxides. Such reactions are disclosed, for example, in Advanced Organic Chemistry, by Jerry March. The compounds of Formula III may then be subsequently transformed at C^ into the compounds depicted by Formula II, using substantially the same method for transforming the compounds of Formula I into the compounds depicted by Formula II. Scheme 2 Formula VI In Scheme 2, R-| , R 2 , R3, R4, X, and Z are as defined above. The Corey lactone (S2a) depicted as starting material for Scheme 2 is commercially available (such as from the Sumitomo Chemical Company, Tokyo, Japan; or the CaymanChemical Company, Ann Arbor, Ml). Compounds depicted by Formula IV are made by elaboration of the commercially-available Corey lactone (S2a) to the advanced intermediate S2b. (An example of such a reaction is found in Example 6 herein). The intermediate S2b is coupled with beta-keto phosphonates, or the alcohols are suitably protected and olefination reactions are effected to give compounds of the type depicted by S2c after deprotection of the alcohol if appropriate. These compounds then undergo reduction of the alkenes and the ketone to give the compounds depicted by Formula IV. Example 12 illustrates a compound of Formula IV. Compounds depicted by Formula V are derived from compounds of S2c by suitably protecting the alcohols, addition of R , if desired, and reduction of the ketone and alkenes followed by suitable functional group manipulations as described above in Scheme 1. Examples 25,26, and 28 illustrate compounds of Formula V. Compounds depicted by Formula VI may be made from either compounds of Formula IV or Formula V, by reaction of the C-| ester as described above in Scheme 1. Examples 6-11 , 17 and 18, 22-24, 27, and 29-31 illustrate compounds of Formula VI. These compounds are isolated by methods known to one of ordinary skill in the art. Such methods include, but are not limited to, extraction, solvent evaporation, distillation, and crystallization. The following non-limiting examples illustrate the compounds, compositions, and uses of the present invention. Examples Compounds are analyzed using " Η and 13c NMR, Elemental analysis, mass spectra, high resolution mass spectra and/or IR spectra as appropriate. Typically, inert solvents are used, preferably in anhydrous form. For example, tetrahydrofuran (THF) is distilled from sodium and benzophenone, diisopropylamine is distilled from calcium hydride and all other solvents are purchased as the appropriate grade. Chromatography is performed on silica gel (70-230 mesh; Aldrich) or (230-400 mesh; Merck) as appropriate. Thin layer chromatography analysis is performed on glass mounted silica gel plates (200-300 mesh; Baker) and visualized using UV, 5% phosphomolybdic acid in EtOH, or ammonium molybdate/ceric sulfate in 10% aqueous H 2 SO4.

The filtrate is concentrated in vacuo to give a syrup which is subjected to flash chromatography on silica gel eluting with 4:1 hexane : ethyl acetate and 2% MeOH in CH 2 CI 2 to give 3. b. 6-(2,5 dioxolanyl)-2-oxa-7-(1,1,2,2-tetramethyl-1 -silapropoxy) bicyclo [3.3.0] octan-3-one: In a round bottom flask with a magnetic stir bar, is stirred a solution of 3 (1 eq) in CH 2 CI 2 . To this solution is added dropwise at -78°C 2,6-lutidine (1.9 eq) followed by TBDMSOTf (1.8 eq). The reaction is stirred for 30 minutes at -78°C and then warmed to 25°C overnight. The reaction is quenched with water. The organic layer is washed with water (3 times), dried (MgSO4), and concentrated in vacuo to give a yellow oil which is subjected to flash chromatography on silica gel (hexanes then 1% MeOH in CH 2 CI 2 ). The product is then washed with 1 N HCI (2 times), 0.1 N HCI (2 times), water, and brine to give 4. c. methyl 7-(5-(2,5-dioxolanyl)-2-hydroxy-4-(1 ,1 ,2,2-tetramethyl-(1 - silapropoxy) cyclopentyl)hept-5-enoate: In a round bottom flask with a magnetic stir bar, is stirred a solution of 4 (1 eq) in dry toluene. To this solution, at -78°C, is slowly added DiBAL (1.24 eq). The reaction mixture is stirred for 2 hours and then warmed to 0°C. Saturated NH4CI is added to the reaction mixture which is then slowly warmed to 25°C. Diluted with water, the insoluble precipitate is removed by suction filtration and the solid is washed with EtOAc (2 times). The liquid phase is extracted with EtOAc (3 times) and the combined organic phase is dried (MgSO4) and concentrated in vacuo to give the product, 5. The product, 5, must either be used immediately or stored at -70°C overnight. To a suspension of (4-carboxybutyl)triphenylphosphonium bromide (2.2 eq) in THF at 0°C under N 2 is added dropwise a solution of KHMDS (0.5 M KHMDS in toluene, 4.4 eq). The resulting deep orange color reaction mixture is stirred for 1 hour at 25°C. To the reaction mixture above at -78°C is added a solution of 5 (1 eq) in THF.

To a well stirred solution of crude acid in ether and MeOH at 0°C is added TMS-diazomethane until the reaction mixture keeps a light yellow color. The addition of 1 drop of glacial acetic acid and thin layer chromatography verifies that the reaction has gone to completion. The reaction solution is concentrated in vacuo and purified via flash chromatography on silica gel (30% EtOAc in hexanes) yielding 6. d. methyl 7-(2,4-dihydroxy-5-formylcyclopentyl)hept-5-enoate: In a round bottomed flask with a magnetic stir bar is placed an amount of the ketal, 6. To this flask is added a sufficient amount of a mixture of 2 parts acetone 1 part 1 N HCI to bring the ketal completely into solution. This material is stirred until, by TLC, the starting material is consumed, typically overnight. The crude mixture containing the product 7 is extracted with ether and the ether extract esterified in situ with, preferably, TMS- diazomethane. This allows for the formation of the product 8, which is purified by column chromatography (30% EtOAc/hexanes) or is taken on without further purification. e. 1-(dimethoxyphosphono)-3-(4-chlorophenoxy)-3-methyl butan-2-one: In a dry flask under N 2 is added THF (anhydrous) and Methyl dimethyl phosphonate (1 equiv.).

The ester of 2-(4- chlorophenoxy)-2-methyl propionic acid is added dropwise in THF. This is stirred overnight and is allowed to warm to room temperature. The crude mixture is quenched with saturated NH4CI, then extracted with CH 2 CI 2 and purified by flash chromatography (5% MeOH in CH 2 CI 2 ) to yield 9. f. 16,16-dimethyl-16-(4-chlorophenoxy)-15-oxo-16-tetranor PGF20: methyl ester: In a round bottom flask equipped with a magnetic stirbar is placed 3-(2,4- dichlorophenoxy)-dimethyl-2-oxo-propylphosphonate (1.65 eq) in DME and water (30:1). To this solution is added lithium bromide (2 eq), triethylamine (5.30 eq), and methyl 7-(2-formyl-3,5-dihydroxycyclopentyl)hept-5-enoate (1.0 eq). The solution is stirred at room temperature for 24 hours. Ether is added and the solution is washed once with 0.1 N HCI, and brine. The organic layer is dried (MgSO4), filtered, and concentrated under reduced pressure. Purification is effected by silica gel column chromatography (methanol/ CH 2 CI 2 1 :50) to give 16,16-dimethyl-16-(4-chlorophenoxy)- 15-OXO-16-tetranor PGF 2α methyl ester, 10. g. 13,14-dihydro-16,16-dimethyl-16-(4-chlorophenoxy)-16-tetranor PGFiα: In a flame-dried round-bottomed flask equipped with a stir bar is placed 10 (1.0 equiv.), and cerium trichloride (1.05 eq) in methanol. The solution is stirred at room temperature for 5 minutes. The solution is cooled to -10°C and sodium borohydride (1.02 eq) in methanol is added. The solution is stirred at -10°C for 3 hours. The mixture is treated with water and the pH brought to ~6 with 1 N HCI. The mixture is extracted twice with ethyl acetate, and the organic layers combined, dried (MgSO4), filtered and concentrated under reduced pressure. Purification is effected by silica gel column chromatography (3% methanol in CH 2 CI 2 to 5% methanol in CH 2 CI 2 ) to give the 15-(/ ) alcohol and the 15-(S) alcohol. In a flame-dried round-bottomed flask equipped with a stir bar is placed one or the other of the epimeric alcohols, or a mixture thereof (1.0 eq) and palladium on carbon (10% Pd on C) in ethyl acetate. The heterogeneous mixture is treated with hydrogen gas for 18 hours. The mixture is then filtered through Celite and concentrated under reduced pressure to give the title saturated prostaglandin as the methyl ester. In a round-bottomed flask equipped with a stir bar is placed said ester (1.0 eq) and lithium hydroxide monohydrate (1.8 eq) in a 50/50 THF water solution. The mixture is stirred at room temperature for 6 hours and then diluted with water and acidified to pH ~2-3 with 1 N HCI. The aqueous phase is extracted ~3 times with ethyl acetate and the organic layers combined. The combined organic layers are dried (MgSO4), filtered, and concentrated under reduced pressure to yield 13, 14-dihydro-16, 16-dimethyl-16-(4-chlorophenoxy)-16-tetranor PGF<|α.

As used herein, "safe and effective amount" means an amount of a compound sufficient to significantly induce a positive modification in the condition to be treated, but low enough to avoid serious side effects (at a reasonable benefit/risk ratio), within the scope of sound medical judgment. A safe and effective amount of a compound will vary with the particular condition being treated, the age and physical condition of the patient being treated, the severity of the condition, the duration of the treatment, the nature of concurrent therapy, the particular pharmaceutically-acceptable carrier utilized, and like factors within the knowledge and expertise of the attending physician. In addition to the compound, the compositions of the subject invention contain a pharmaceutically-acceptable carrier. The term "pharmaceutically-acceptable carrier", as used herein, means one or more compatible solid or liquid filler diluents or encapsulating substances which are suitable for administration to a subject. The term "compatible", as used herein, means that the components of the composition are capable of being commingled with the compound, and with each other, in a manner such that there is no interaction which would substantially reduce the pharmaceutical efficacy of the composition under ordinary use situations. Pharmaceutically-acceptable carriers must, of course, be of sufficiently high purity and sufficiently low toxicity to render them suitable for administration to the subject being treated. Some examples of substances which can serve as pharmaceutically-acceptable carriers or components thereof are sugars, such as lactose, glucose and sucrose; starches, such as cornstarch and potato starch; cellulose and its derivatives, such as sodium carboxymethyl cellulose, ethyl cellulose, cellulose acetate; powdered tragacanth; malt; gelatin; talc; solid lubricants, such as stearic acid, magnesium stearate; calcium sulfate; vegetable oils, such as peanut oil, cottonseed oil, sesame oil, olive oil, corn oil and oil of theobroma; polyols such as propylene glycol, glycerin, sorbitol, mannitol, and polyethylene glycol; alginic acid; emulsifiers, such as the Tweens®; wetting agents such as sodium lauryl sulfate; coloring agents; flavoring agents, excipients; tableting agents; stabilizers; antioxidants; preservatives; pyrogen- free water; isotonic saline; and phosphate buffer solutions. The choice of a pharmaceutically-acceptable carrier to be used in conjunction with a compound is basically determined by the way the compound is to be administered. The compounds of the present invention may be administered systemically. Routes of administration include transdermal; oral; parenterally, including subcutaneous or intravenous injection; topical; and/or intranasal. The appropriate amount of the compound to be used may be determined by routine experimentation with animal models. Such models include, but are not limited to the intact and ovariectomized rat models, the ferret, canine, and non human primate models as well as disuse models. Preferred unit dosage forms for injection include sterile solutions of water, physiological saline, or mixtures thereof. The pH of said solutions should be adjusted to about 7.4. Suitable carriers for injection or surgical implants include hydrogels, controlled- or sustained release devises, polylactic acid, and collagen matrices. Suitable pharmaceutically-acceptable carriers for topical application include those suited for use in lotions, creams, gels and the like. If the compound is to be administered perorally, the preferred unit dosage form is tablets, capsules and the like. The pharmaceutically-acceptable carriers suitable for the preparation of unit dosage forms for oral administration are well-known in the art. Their selection will depend on secondary considerations like taste, cost, and shelf stability, which are not critical for the purposes of the subject invention, and can be made without difficulty by those skilled in the art. Methods of Use The compounds of the present invention are useful in treating many medical disorders, including for example, ocular disorders, hypertension, fertility control, nasal congestion, neurogenic bladder disorder, gastrointestinal disorders, dermatological disorders, and osteoporosis. The compounds of the present invention are useful in increasing bone volume and trabecular number through formation of new trabeculae, increasing bone mass while maintaining a normalized bone turnover rate, and formation of bone at the endosteal surface without removing bone from the existing cortex. Thus, these compounds are useful in the treatment and prevention of bone disorders. The preferred routes of administration for treating bone disorders are transdermal and intranasal. Other preferred routes of administration include rectal, sublingual, and oral. The dosage range of the compound for systemic administration is from about 0.01 to about 1000 μg/kg body weight, preferably from about 0.1 to about 100 μg/kg per body weight, most preferably from about 1 to about 50 μg/kg body weight per day. The transdermal dosages will be designed to attain similar serum or plasma levels, based upon techniques known to those skilled in the art of pharmacokinetics and transdermal formulations. Plasma levels for systemic administration are expected to be in the range of 0.01 to 100 nanograms/ml, more preferably from 0.05 to 50 ng/ml, and most preferably from 0.1 to 10 ng/ml. While these dosages are based upon a daily administration rate, weekly or monthly accumulated dosages may also be used to calculate the clinical requirements. Dosages may be varied based on the patient being treated, the condition being treated, the severity of the condition being treated, the route of administration, etc. to achieve the desired effect. The compounds of the present invention are also useful in decreasing intraocular pressure. Thus, these compounds are useful in the treatment of glaucoma. The preferred route of administration for treating glaucoma is topically. Composition and Method Examples The following non-limiting examples illustrate the subject invention.
