Title: Il-6 production inhibitors

Description:
TECHNICAL FIELD  
      The present invention relates to 
      1) an IL-6 (Interleukin-6) production inhibitor which comprises a hydroxamic acid derivative of formula (I)  
                 
 
 (wherein all the symbols have the same meanings as defined hereinafter), an equivalent thereof, a non-toxic salt thereof or a prodrug thereof as an active ingredient, 
    2) a novel hydroxamic acid derivative or an equivalent thereof, and     3) a process for the preparation thereof.    

     BACKGROUND ART  
      Cytokine is a multifunctional factor which plays an important role in the host defense system of living body and it relates to various life phenomena. However, there are many diseases which may be caused by overproduction thereof or overresponse thereto.  
      IL-6 is a cytekine produced from various cells, e.g. T cells, B cells, macrophages, kidney mesangial cells, fibroblasts, etc., and its various physiological effects are known e.g. induction of B cells differentiation to antibody-producing cells, activation of T cells, increase of platelets, production of acute phase protein from liver cells, etc. But an abnormal production of IL-6 has been observed in various inflammations, autoimmune diseases and neoplastic diseases and it is suggested that IL-6 plays a certain role in the causes of such pathophysiological situations. In the experiment using an animal model in which IL-6 was forcibly expressed, various types of diseases could be observed and such results strongly suggest the existence of relationship between the abnormal production of IL-6 and the cause of certain diseases (see  Biochem. J.,  265, 621 (1990);  Immunol. Today,  11, 443 (1990);  J. Autoimmun.,  5 Suppl A, 123 (1992);  Clin. Immunol. Immunopathol.,  62, S60 (1992)).  
      Therefore inhibition of IL-6 production is expected to improve various kinds of diseases such as inflammatory diseases as a representative. The present invention targets these cytokines and provides medicines through inhibiting the production thereof.  
      Clinical application of the compound of the present invention involves those diseases which may be caused and be changed to worse by abnormal production of IL-6 or by overresponse thereto. An IL-6 production inhibitor may be used for the prevention and/or treatment of various inflammatory diseases, sepsis, multiple myeloma, plasma cell leukemia, osteoporosis, cachexia, psoriasis, nephritis, renal cell carinoma, Kaposi&#39;s sarcoma, rheumatoid arthritis, hypergammaglobulinemia (gammophathy), Castleman&#39;s disease, intra-atrial myxoma, diabetes, autoimmune disease, hepatitis, colitis, graft-versus-host disease, infectious diseases, endometriosis and solid cancer (e.g. brain tumor, head and neck tumor, thyroid cancer, esophageal cancer, gastric cancer, colorectal cancer (colon cancer and rectal cancer), liver cancer, gallbladder cancer, bileduct cancer, pancreatic cancer, breast cancer, cervical cancer, endometrial carcinoma, ovarian cancer, carcinoma of the prostate, orchioncus, bladder carinoma, renal pelvic tumor, ureteral tumor, adrenal tumor, neuroma, glioma, osteoncus, rhabdomyosarcoma, osteosarcoma, soft tissue tumors, oxyphilic granuloma, malignant melanoma, cutaneous carcinoma, glioblastoma, Wilms tumor, etc.) (see  J. Immunol.,  145, 4185 (1990);  J. Exp. Med.,  172, 1505 (1990);  J. Clin. Invest.,  87, 739 (1991);  J. Clin. Invest.,  89, 1681 (1992);  EMBO J.,  13, 1189 (1994);  Hematol. Oncol. Clin.

 A process for the preparation of the compound of the present invention. 
 
      The compounds of formula (I) of the present invention may be prepared by the following methods or the methods described in Examples. 
      (1) Among the compounds of formula (I) in the present invention, a hydroxamic acid derivative of formula (I-1)  
                 
 
 (wherein all the symbols have the same meanings as defined hereinbefore), a non-toxic salt thereof or a prodrug thereof may be prepared by the following methods or the methods described in Examples. 
    (1-a) Among the compounds of formula (I-1), the compound that Q 1  is  
                 
 
 (wherein R 31A  has the same meaning of R 31 , but does not represent hydrogen atom; R 30  has the same meaning as defined hereinbefore) 
 
 and any of R 1 , A, B, R 8  or G does not represent the group which contains amino, carboxyl nor thiol group, i.e. the compound of formula (I-1a)  
                 
 
 (wherein, R 1A , A A , B A , R 8A , G A  and R 31A  are each same meanings of R 1 , A, B, R 8 , G and R 31 , but any of them does not represent the group which contains amino, carboxyl nor thiol group, and the other symbols have the same meanings as defined hereinbefore), may be prepared by amidation of the carboxylic acid derivative of formula (II)  
                 
 
 (wherein all the symbols have the same meanings as defined hereinbefore) with the hydroxylamine derivative of formula (III)  
                 
 
 (wherein all the symbols have the same meanings as defined hereinbefore). 
   

      The amidation is know. For example, it may be carried out 
      (1) by the method with using acid halide,     (2) by the method with using mixed acid anhydride,     (3) by the method with using condensing agent, etc.    

      Concrete description of these methods are as follows:  
      (1) The method with acid halide may be carried out, for example; a carboxylic acid is reacted with an acid halide (oxalyl, chloride, thionyl chloride, etc.) in an organic solvent (chloroform, methylene chloride, diethyl ether, tetrahydrofuran, etc.) or without solvents at from −20° C. to refluxing temperature to give a corresponding acid halide. The obtained acid halide and an amine are reacted in an organic solvent (chloroform, methylene chloride, diethyl ether, tetrahydrofuran, etc.) in the presence of tertiary amine (pyridine, triethylamine, dimethylamine, dimethylaniline, dimethylaminopyridine, etc.) at from 0 to 40° C. This reaction may also be carried out by the reaction with an amine and a acid halide in an organic solvent (dioxane, tetrahydrofuran, etc.) with an aqueous alkali solution (solution of sodium bicarbonate or solution of sodium hydroxide, etc.) at from 0 to 40° C.  
      (2) The method with mixed acid anhydride may be carried out, for example; a carboxylic acid is reacted with an acid halide (pivaloyl chloride etc.) or an acid derivative (ethyl chloroformate, isobutyl chloroformate, etc.) in an organic solvent (chloroform, methylene chloride, diethyl ether, tetrahydrofuran, etc.) or without solvents, in the presence of tertiary amine (pyridine, triethylamine, dimethylaniline, dimethylaminopylidine, etc.) at from 0 to 40° C. The obtained mixed acid anhydride is reacted with an amine in an organic solvent (chloroform, methylene chloride, diethyl ether, tetrahydrofuran, etc.) at from 0 to 40° C.  
      (3) The method with condensing agent may be carried out, for example; a carboxylic acid and an amine are reacted in an organic solvent (chloroform, methylene chloride, dimethylformamide, diethyl ether, tetrahydrofuran, etc.) or without solvents, in the presence or absence of tertiary amine (pyridine, triethylamine, dimethylaniline, dimethylaminopyridine, etc.) using with condensing agent (1,3-dicyclohexylcarbodiimide (DCC), 1-ethyl-3-[3-(dimethylamino)propyl]carbodiimide (EDC), 1,1′-carbonyldiimidazole (CDI), 2-chloro-1-methylpyridinium iodide, 1-propanephosphonic acid cyclic anhydride (PPA), etc.) using with or without 1-hydroxybenzotriazole (HOBt) at from 0 to 40° C.  
      Preferably, the above reactions of (1), (2) and (3) are carried out under an atmosphere at an inert gas (argon, nitrogen etc.) on anhydrous condition. 
      (1-b) Among the compounds of formula (I-1), the compound that Q 1  is  
                 
 
 (wherein R 30  has the same meaning as defined hereinbefore) and any of R 1 , A, B, R 8  or G does not represent the group which contains amino, carboxyl nor thiol group, i.e. the compound of formula (I-1b)  
                 
 
 (wherein all the symbols have the same meanings as defined hereinbefore) may be prepared by the method of (1-b-1) or (1-b-2). 
    (1-b-1) The compound of formula (I-1b) may be prepared by the removal of a protecting group in the hydroxamic acid of formula (I-1a).    

      The removal of a protecting group in the hydroxamic acid is known. For example, it may be carried out. 
      (1) The compound of formula (I-1b) may be prepared by the removal of a protecting group in the hydroxamic acid of formula (I-1a).    

      The removal of a protecting group in the hydroxamic acid is known. For example, it may be carried out 
      (1) by the removal of a protecting group in an alkaline condition,     (2) by the removal of a protecting group in an acidic condition,     (3) by the removal of a protecting group by hydrogenolysis, etc.    

      Concrete description of these methods are as follows:  
      (1) The removal of protecting group in an alkaline condition may be carried out, for example, in an organic solvent (methanol, tetrahydrofuran, dioxane, etc.) with hydroxide of alkaline metal (sodium hydroxide, potassium hydroxide, lithium hydroxide, etc.), hydroxide of alkaline earth metal (barium hydroxide, calcium hydroxide, etc.), carbonate (sodium carbonate, potassium carbonate, etc.) or an aqueous solution thereof or a mixture thereof at from 0 to 40° C.  
      (2) The removal of protecting group in an acidic condition may be carried out, for example, in an organic solvent (dichloromethane, chloroform, dioxane, ethyl acetate, anisole, etc.), an organic acid (acetic acid, trifluoroacetic acid, methanesulfonic acid, etc.) or an inorganic acid (hydrochloric acid, sulfuric acid, etc.) or a mixture thereof (hydrogen bromide/acetic acid etc.) at from 0 to 100° C.  
      (3) The removal of a protecting group by hydrogenolysis may be carried out, for example, in a solvent (ether (tetrahydrofuran, dioxane, dimethoxyethane, diethylether, etc.), alcohol (methanol, ethanol, etc.), benzene (benzene, toluene, etc.), ketone (acetone, methyl ethylketone, etc.), nitrile (acetonitrile, etc.), amide (dimethylformamide etc.), water, ethyl acetate, acetic acid or a mixture thereof, etc.) in the presence of a catalyst (palladium-carbon, palladium black, palladium hydroxide, platinum oxide, Raney nickel, etc.) at atmospheric or reduced pressure under an atmosphere of hydrogen or ammonium formate at from 0 to 200° C.  
      In the present invention, the reaction of the removal of a protecting group of a hydroxamic acid means an ordinal one which is well known to the person in the art, for example, the removal of a protecting group in an alkaline condition, the removal of a protecting group in an acidic condition or the removal of a protecting group by hydrogenolysis. The aimed compound of the present invention may be prepared easily by choice of these reactions.  
      As well known to the person in the art, a protecting group of a hydroxamic acid includes, for example, t-butyl, —C(CH 3 ) 2 —OCH 3  and benzyl. In addition, such a group includes the other protecting group which is removable selectively and easily, for example, one described in T. W. Greene et al., Protective Groups in Organic Synthesis, Third Edition, Wiley-Interscience, New York, 1999. 
      (1-b-2) The compound of formula (I-1b) may be prepared by amidation of the compound of formula (II) and the hydroxylamine derivative of formula (IV) 
 
HR 30 N—OH  (IV)

      Other forms for parenteral administration include liquids for external use, ointments and endermic liniments, inhalations, sprays, suppositories and pessaries for vaginal administration which comprise one or more of the active compound(s) and may be prepared by methods known per se.  
      Sprays may comprise additional substances other than diluents, such as stabilizing agents (such as sodium sulfate), isotonic buffers (such as sodium chloride, sodium citrate or citric acid). For preparation of such sprays, for example, the method described in the U.S. Pat. No. 2,868,691 or 3,095,355 may be used.
