         [0002]    This application claims the priority of Chinese Patent Application No. 201010624329.7, filed on Dec. 30, 2010, and entitled OPTICALLY ACTIVE 2-HYDROXYTETRAHYDROTHIENOPYRIDINE DERIVATIVES, PREPARATION METHOD AND USE IN MANUFACTURE OF MEDICAMENT THEREOF. 
       BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 
       [0003]    1. Field of the Invention 
         [0004]    The present invention relates to the field of pharmacochemistry, and more particularly to optically active 2-hydroxytetrahydrothienopyridine derivatives, preparation method and use thereof in the manufacture of a medicament, especially for preventing or treating thrombosis and embolism related diseases. 
         [0005]    2. Description of the Related Art 
         [0006]    Clopidogrel is an anti-platelet aggregation agent that is most widely used all over the world at present, and used for treating atherosclerosis, acute coronary syndrome (ACS), thrombotic complications, and other diseases in clinic. Clinical tests in many years have demonstrated the efficacy and safety of clopidogrel for thrombotic cardio-cerebrovascular diseases (Lancet, 1996, 348: 1329). Clopidogrel is a precursor drug, which is metabolized in vivo through two oxidative steps by the liver P450 enzyme system to generate an active metabolite, which is covalently bound to P2Y 12  receptor on the platelet surface to inhibit platelet aggregation through P2Y 12  receptor antagonism (Thromb Haemost, 2000, 84: 891). However, the researches on in-vivo metabolism of clopidogrel reveal that 85% of the prototype drug is hydrolyzed by human carboxylesterase 1 (hCE1) in the liver into an inactive carboxylic derivative of clopidogrel (J Pharmacol Exp Ther, 2006, 319: 1467), which greatly reduces the oral bioavailability of clopidogrel, resulting in the disadvantages of clopidogrel such as high dosage in clinical use (load dosage: 300 mg clopidogrel), slow onset of action, and delayed inhibition of platelets (Cardiovascular Drug Reviews, 1993, 11: 180). In addition, due to the differential expression of the P450 enzyme system in the liver among different individuals, clopidogrel that functions by metabolism by the P450 enzyme system has significant individual differences in clinical efficacy, including, for example, the presence of “clopidogrel resistance”, and occurrence of cardiovascular events including stent thrombosis (ST) (Circulation, 2004, 109: 166). 
         [0007]    Prasugrel, a new anti-platelet agent, is developed by Sankyo Pharmaceuticals Co., Ltd. and Eli Lilly Company. Compared with clopidogrel, prasugrel can more quickly and effectively inhibit platelet aggregation, but has a higher risk of bleeding. In elective percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) for treating acute coronary syndrome, compared with clopidogrel, prasugrel can significantly lower the incidence of ischemic events (including stent thrombosis), but the bleeding risk is increased (N Engl J Med, 2007, 357: 2001). Other adverse effects of prasugrel include, for example, thrombocytopenia and neutropenia. 
         [0008]    Certain 2-hydroxytetrahydrothienopyridine derivatives having anti-platelet aggregation effect are disclosed in U.S. Pat. No. 5,190,938, U.S. Pat. No. 5,874,581, and WO9749397. These compounds are, however, racemic mixtures, and to date, there have been no studies proving whether their racemates and enantiomers are different in efficacy and safety. In Chinese Patent Application No. 200810097756.7, certain aromatic heterocyclic carboxylate ester derivatives of prasugrel and clopidogrel, especially certain racemic derivatives of prasugrel, are disclosed, but optically active alkyl carboxylate derivatives and other related derivatives of 2-hydroxytetrahydrothienopyridine are not involved. 
         [0009]    Therefore, there is a need in clinic for development of a new anti-platelet aggregation agent that has a rapid onset of action and high efficacy, and can avoid the bleeding side effect. 
       SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION 
       [0010]    Therefore, in order to overcome the above disadvantages, an objective of the present invention is to design and synthesize new ester derivatives of 2-hydroxytetrahydrothienopyridine, so as to develop anti-platelet aggregation agents that have good efficacy and low side effects.

         [0073]    The method specifically comprises the following step: 
         [0074]    the compound of Formula II is reacted with a compound of Formula VII (4,5,6,7-tetrahydrothieno[3,2-c]pyridin-2-yl carboxylate) or a salt thereof in the presence of a base, to obtain the compound of Formula I; where the solvent used is one or more selected from benzene, toluene, chloroform, n-hexane, cyclohexane, dichloromethane, 1,2-dichloroethane, methyl t-butyl ether, carbon tetrachloride, ethyl acetate, propyl acetate, butyl acetate, methanol, ethanol, acetone, tetrahydrofuran, diethyl ether, acetonitrile, N,N-dimethyl formamide, or dimethyl sulfoxide, and preferably N,N-dimethyl formamide, tetrahydrofuran, acetonitrile, or dichloromethane; the base used is selected from triethylamine, diisopropyl ethylamine, 1,8-diazabicyclo[5,4,0]undec-7-ene, potassium carbonate, sodium carbonate, potassium bicarbonate, or sodium bicarbonate; the reaction temperature is from −20° C. to 100° C., and preferably 10° C. to 60° C.; and the salt of the compound of Formula VII is selected from hydrochloride, p-toluenesulfonate, acetate, sulfate, phosphate, trifluoromethanesulfonate, oxalate, methanesulfonate, benzenesulfonate, or hydrobromide.

         [0076]    The enantiomer of the present compound of general Formula I may be prepared following Methods (I) and (2) above, except that an enantiomer of the compound of Formula II is used as a starting material. 
         [0077]    The racemate of the present compound of general Formula I may be prepared following Methods (I) and (2) above, except that a racemate of the compound of Formula II is used as a starting material. 
         [0078]    A further objective of the present invention is to provide a use of an optically active 2-hydroxytetrahydrothienopyridine derivative represented by Formula I in the preparation of a medicament. 
         [0079]    Pharmacodynamic experiment results show that the present compounds of general Formula I have significant inhibition effect of platelet aggregation, and the anti-platelet aggregation effect of some compounds is obviously superior to that of clopidogrel. In addition, the compound of Formula I (S configuration) generally exhibits a more potent platelet aggregation inhibition than the corresponding enantiomer (R configuration) and racemic mixture thereof. Pharmacokinetic experiment results show that the present compound of Formula I can be effectively converted in vivo into a pharmacologically active metabolite, so as to exert the platelet aggregation inhibition, and the bioavailability of an intermediate metabolite from which the active metabolite is formed is obviously higher than that of clopidogrel. The above experiment results suggest that the compound of the present invention or a pharmaceutically acceptable salt thereof is useful in the preparation of a medicament for preventing or treating thrombosis and embolism related diseases, especially atherosclerosis, myocardial infarction, stroke, ischemic cerebral thrombosis, peripheral arterial disease, acute coronary syndrome, or thrombosis after percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI). 
         [0080]    The present invention also provides a pharmaceutical composition for preventing or treating thrombosis and embolism related diseases, comprising a therapeutically effective amount of the compound of Formula I or a pharmaceutically acceptable salt thereof as an active ingredient, and a pharmaceutically acceptable carrier. The pharmaceutical composition may be in any of conventional pharmaceutical dosage forms such as ordinary tablets or capsules, sustained release tablets or capsules, controlled release tablets or capsules, granules, powders, syrups, oral solutions, and injections. 
         [0081]    The dosage of the compound of Formula I in the pharmaceutical composition of the present invention varies depending on factors such as the symptoms and age. For an adult, it is orally administered per dose at a lower limit of 0.1 mg (preferably 1 mg) and an upper limit of 1000 mg (preferably 500 mg), or is intravenously administrated per dose at a lower limit of 0.01 mg (preferably 0.1 mg) and an upper limit of 500 mg (preferably 250 mg). The dosage may fall outside the above ranges according to the severity of the disease and the dosage form.

A hydrogen chloride saturated ethanol solution (0.2 ml) was added slowly dropwise, till the system reached about pH 2, at which a white solid was precipitated immediately. It was stirred for 5 min, allowed to stand, quickly filtered under a nitrogen atmosphere, and washed with a suitable amount of diethyl ether. The resulting solid was dried in vacuum to obtain the I-2 hydrochloride (101 mg, white solid). Yield: 90%, and melting range: 100-120° C.

     Anti-Platelet Aggregation Activity Test 
       [0149]    Agents and preparations: clopidogrel sulfate was used as a positive control. The positive control and the test compounds (prepared in the above examples) were formulated in 0.5% CMC-Na (carboxymethylcellulose sodium) into suspensions for administration to animals. 
         [0150]    Animals: male SD rats, weighed about 250 g, and supplied by Shanghai Super-B&amp;K Laboratory Animal Corp. Ltd. Animal certificate No.: 2008001605451, and license No.: SCXK (Hu); SCXK (Hu) 2008-0016. 
         [0151]    Instruments: a centrifuge (80-2 bench top low-speed centrifuge), an automatic platelet aggregation tester (STELLEXLG-PAPER-I platelet coagulation/aggregation analyzer), and others. 
         [0152]    Methods: the pharmacological activity test of the compounds of the present invention for platelet aggregation was performed following Born&#39;s turbidimetric method (Nature, 1962, 194(4832): 927). An agglomeration-promoting substance, adenosine diphosphate (ADP), was added to a platelet rich plasma (PRP), and stirred to allow platelets to aggregate. The aggregation of platelets resulted in the change of optical density, which could be detected by a spectrometer. This experiment can be used to evaluate the platelet aggregation effect induced by the test compounds administrated in-vivo or in-vitro. 
         [0153]    Anti-platelet aggregation activity test: the male SD rates weighed about 250 g were given with clopidogrel sulfate and the test agents (homogeneous suspensions in 0.5% CMC-Na at a concentration of 1 mg/ml) by oral gavage at a dose of 10 mg/kg or 3 mg/kg, and the blank control was given with the same volume of 0.5% CMC-Na by oral gavage. After 2 hrs, blood samples were collected from eye sockets of the rats using 3.8% sodium citrate as anticoagulant at a ratio of whole blood to anticoagulant of 9:1, and centrifuged at 1000 rpm for 7 min to prepare a platelet rich plasma (PRP). The PRP was adjusted with a platelet poor plasma (PPP) to maintain the platelet counts at 2×10 6 /ml. The PRP was taken into a test cup, and incubated at 37° C. for 10 min. Light transmission was adjusted to 0% with PRP and to 100% with PPP for each measurement. By using ADP (with a final concentration of 5 μM) as an inducer, the platelet aggregation percentages were measured through the turbidimetric method using a platelet aggregation tester, and statistically compared by t-test. The platelet aggregation inhibition was calculated by the equation: platelet aggregation inhibition (%)=[1-(aggregation percent in dosed tube/aggregation percent in control tube)]×100%. 
         [0154]    Results: the platelet aggregation inhibition after oral administration of the test compounds to the rats is determined through the turbidimetric method, and some test results are shown in Table 1. The results show that most of the test compounds exhibit a more potent anti-platelet aggregation activity than clopidogrel, and the compounds of (S)-configuration (e.g. I-2′, Example 5) exhibit a more potent platelet aggregation inhibition than the corresponding enantiomers of (R)-configuration (e.g. I-2′, Example 6) and racemic mixtures (e.g. I-2″, Example 29).

     Researches on Pharmacokinetics and Bioavailability of Compound I-2 in Rats 
       [0155]    Research background: it is reported (Thromb Haemost, 2000, 84: 891; Drug Metab Rev 2005, 37 (Suppl 2): 99) that oxidative metabolism of clopidogrel in vivo by the liver P450 enzyme system first produces the metabolic intermediate (2S)-methyl 2-(2-oxo-7,7a-dihydrothieno[3,2-c]pyridin-5 (2H, 4H, 6H)-yl)-2-(2-chlorophenyl)-acetate (thiolactone IV-1, see Example 3 for preparation thereof), and then Compound IV-1 is further rapidly metabolized into the pharmacologically active metabolite. Therefore, Compound IV-1 is useful as an indicator for the production of the active metabolite of clopidogrel (Drug Metab Disp 2002, 30: 1288). 
         [0156]    Experimental purposes: (1) the plasma concentration-time curves of Compound I-2, clopidogrel, and metabolite IV-1 thereof after the rats are respectively given with Compound I-2 and clopidogrel by oral gavage are investigated, so as to estimate corresponding pharmacokinetic parameters, evaluate the pharmacokinetic characteristics of Compound I-2 and clopidogrel in rats, determine the conversion of Compound I-2 into the metabolite IV-1 and the conversion degree, and compare the respective conversion degrees of Compound I-2 and clopidogrel to the metabolite IV-1; and (2) the plasma concentration-time curves of Compound IV-1 after administration to the rats via intravenous injection are investigated, so as to estimate corresponding pharmacokinetic parameters, and evaluate the absolute bioavailability of the metabolite IV-1 produced through respective metabolism of Compound I-2 and clopidogrel in the rats. 
         [0157]    Methods: male SD rats weighed 210-230 g were divided into 3 groups at random, Compound I-2 group, clopidogrel sulfate group, and Compound IV-1 group. The rats were fasted overnight, but allowed free access to water. After 10 h, (1) the Compound I-2 group was administrated with Compound I-2 by oral gavage in a volume of 8 ml/kg at a concentration of 1.14 mg/ml at a dose of 24 μmol/kg, and blood samples were collected from retro-orbital plexus in rats before dosing (0 h) and at 0.25, 0.5, 1, 2, 4, 6, 8, and 24 hrs post-dose; (2) the clopidogrel sulfate group was administrated with clopidogrel sulfate by oral gavage in a volume of 8 ml/kg at a concentration of 1.26 mg/ml at a dose of 24 μmol/kg, and blood samples were collected from retro-orbital plexus in rats before dosing (0 h) and at 0.25, 0.5, 1, 2, 4, 6, 8, and 24 hrs post-dose; and (3) the Compound IV-1 group was administrated with Compound IV-1 via intravenous injection in a volume of 5 ml/kg at a concentration of 0.54 mg/ml at a dose of 8 μmol/kg, and blood samples were collected from retro-orbital plexus in rats before dosing (0 h) and at 0.083, 0.167, 0.5, 1, 2, 4, 6, 8, and 24 hrs post-dose. Plasmas were isolated after treatment with an anticoagulant and a stabilizer, the plasma samples were processed, and the concentrations of Compound I-2, clopidogrel, and Compound IV-1 in plasmas were measured by LC-MS/MS. Chromatography and MS conditions are shown in Tables 2 and 3.

         [0160]    Conclusions: (1) after being dosed to the rats by oral gavage, Compound I-2 can be converted into the main intermediate metabolite (Compound IV-1) of clopidogrel; and (2) by oral gavage, the degree of conversion of Compound I-2 into the metabolite IV-1 is more than 5 times higher than that of clopidogrel sulfate, and the absolute bioavailability of the metabolite IV-1 produced by metabolism of Compound I-2 is also more than 5 times higher than that of the metabolite IV-1 produced by metabolism of clopidogrel sulfate. 
         [0161]    The above research results suggest that the bioavailability of the intermediate metabolite of Compound I-2 is significantly higher than that of clopidogrel, such that the production of the active metabolite thereof is also significantly higher than that of clopidogrel, and thus it is expected that the risk of side effects such as bleeding of the anti-platelet aggregation agent can be reduced while rapid onset of action and high efficacy are achieved, by significantly lowering the dosage of the agent.
