Description

Alkylidene Pyrazolidinedione Derivatives
Field of the invention
The present invention is related to the use of alkylidene pyrazolidinedione derivatives of formula (I) for the treatment and/or prevention of metabolic disorders related to insulin resistance or hyperglycemia, typically associated with obesity or glucose intolerance. The compounds of this invention are therefore, particularly useful in the treatment of type II diabetes. The compounds of this invention are also useful in the treatment of type I diabetes. In particular, the present invention is related to the use of alkylidene pyrazolidinedione derivatives of formula (I) to modulate, notably to inhibit the activity of PTPs, in particular of PTP1B, TC-PTP, SHP and GLEPP-1. The present invention is furthermore related to novel alkylidene pyrazolidinedione derivatives and a method of preparing them.
Background of the invention
The prevalence of insulin resistance in glucose intolerant subjects is well known. Reaven et al (American Journal of Medicine 1976, 60, 80) used a continuous infusion of glucose and insulin (insulin/glucose clamp technique) and oral glucose tolerance tests to demonstrate that insulin resistance exists in a diverse group of non-obese, non-ketotic subjects. These subjects ranged from borderline glucose tolerant to overt, fasting hyperglycemia. The diabetic groups in these studies included both insulin dependent (IDDM) and non-insulin dependent (NIDDM) subjects.
Coincident with sustained insulin resistance is the more easily determined hyper- insulinemia, which may be measured by accurate determination of circulating plasma insulin concentration in the plasma of subjects. Hyperinsulinemia may be present as a result of insulin resistance, such as is in obese and/or diabetic (NIDDM) subjects and/or glucose intolerant subjects, or in IDDM subjects, as a consequence of over injection of insulin compared with normal physiological release of the hormone by the endocrine pancreas.
The association of hyperinsulinemia and insulin resistance with obesity and with ischemic diseases of the large blood vessels (e.g. atherosclerosis) has been well established by numerous experimental, clinical and epidemiological studies (Stout, Metabolism 1985, 34, 7). Statistically significant plasma insulin elevations at 1 and 2 hours after oral glucose load correlate with an increased risk of coronary heart disease.
Since most of these studies actually excluded diabetic subjects, data relating the risk of atherosclerotic diseases to the diabetic condition are not as numerous, but point in the same direction as for non-diabetic subjects. However, the incidence of atherosclerotic diseases in morbidity and mortality statistics in the diabetic population exceeds that of the nondiabetic population (Pyorala et al; Jarrett Diabetes/Metabolism Reviews 1989, 5, 547).
The association of hyperinsulinemia and insulin resistance with Polycystic Ovary Syndrome (PCOS) is also well acknowledged (Diamanti-Kandarakis et al.; Therapeutic effects of metformin on insulin resistance and hyperandrogenism in polycystic ovary syndrome; European Journal of Endocrinology (1998) 138 269-274, Andrea Dunaif; Insulin Resistance and the Polycystic Ovary Syndrome : Mechanism and Implications for Pathogenesis; Endocrine Reviews 18(6): 774-800).
The independent risk factors obesity and hypertension for atherosclerotic diseases are also associated with insulin resistance. Using a combination of insulin/glucose clamps, tracer glucose infusion and indirect calorimetry, it was demonstrated that the insulin resistance of essential hypertension is located in peripheral tissues (principally muscle) and correlates directly with the severity of hypertension (DeFronzo and Ferrannini, Diabetes Care 1991, 14, 173). In hypertension of obese people, insulin resistance generates hyperinsulinemia, which is recruited as a mechanism to limit further weight gain via thermogenesis, but insulin also increases renal sodium re-absorption and stimulates the sympathetic nervous system in kidneys, heart, and vasculature, creating hypertension.
It is assumed that insulin resistance is usually the result of a defect in the insulin receptor signaling system, at a site post binding of insulin to the receptor. Accumulated scientific evidence demonstrating insulin resistance in the major tissues which respond to insulin
(muscle, liver, adipose), strongly suggests that a defect in insulin signal transduction resides at an early step in this cascade, specifically at the insulin receptor kinase activity, which appears to be diminished (Mounib Elchebly, Alan Cheng, Michel . Tremblay; Modulation of insulin signaling by protein tyrosine phosphatases; J.Mol.Med. (2000) 78:473-482).
Protein-tyrosine phosphatases (PTPs) play an important role in the regulation of phosphorylation of proteins and represent the counterparts of kinases. Among classical PTPs, there are two types : (i) non-receptor or intracellular PTPs; and (ii) receptor-like PTPs. Most intracellular PTPs contain one catalytic domain only, whereas most receptorlike enzymes contain two. The catalytic domain consists of about 250 amino acids (Niels Peter Hundahl MoUer et al. Protein tyrosine phosphatases (PTPs) as drug targets: Inhibitors of PTP-1B for the treatment of diabetes; Current Opinion in Drug Discovery & Development 2000 3(5):527-540).
McGuire et al. (Diabetes 1991, 40, 939), demonstrated that non-diabetic glucose intolerant subjects possessed significantly elevated levels of PTP activity in muscle tissue vs. normal subjects, and that insulin infusion failed to suppress PTP activity as it did in insulin sensitive subjects.
The interaction of insulin with its receptor leads to phosphorylation of certain tyrosine molecules within the receptor protein, thus activating the receptor kinase. PTPs dephosphorylate the activated insulin receptor, attenuating the tyrosine kinase activity. PTPs can also modulate post-receptor signaling by catalyzing the dephosphorylation of cellular substrates of the insulin receptor kinase. The enzymes that appear most likely to closely associate with the insulin receptor and therefore, most likely to regulate the insulin receptor kinase activity, include PTP IB, LAR, PTP-alpha. and SH-PTP2 (Lori Klaman et al.; Increased Energy Expenditure, Decreased Adiposity, and Tissue-specific Insulin Sensitivity in Protein-Tyrosine Phosphatase IB-Deficient Mice; Molecular and Cellular Biology 2000, 5479-5489).
The insulin receptor (IR) is a prototypical tyrosine kinase receptor whose ligand binding and dimerization results in auto-phosphorylation on multiple tyrosines. This is followed by the recruitment and phosphorylation of IRS 1-4 (depending on the tissue) and PI3K. Although vanadium-containing compounds have been known since the 19f century to alleviate diabetes, it was understood only recently that these inhibitors stimulate the insulin signaling pathway by blocking PTP action. Evidence for the involvement of the IR (insulin receptor) and IRS-1 in this phenotype was that both proteins show increased tyrosine phosphorylation in the PTP IB-mutated mice. The available data strongly suggest that in particular PTP IB is a promising target for the development of drugs to treat diabetes and obesity (Brian P. Kennedy and Chidambaram Ramachandran; Protein Tyrosine
Phosphatase-IB in Diabetes; Biochemical Pharmacology, Vol. 60, pp. 877-883, 2000).
Meyerovitch et al (J. Clinical Invest. 1989, 84, 976) observed significantly increased PTP activity in the livers of two rodent models of IDDM, the genetically diabetic BB rat, and the STZ-induced diabetic rat. Sredy et al (Metabolism, 44, 1074, 1995) observed similar increased PTP activity in the livers of obese, diabetic ob/ob mice, a genetic rodent model of NIDDM.
Krogdal et al. (WO 00/54771) discloses 3,5-pyrazolidinedione derivatives to combat viral infections.
Kato Fuminori et al (JP-10045588) reports alpha glucosidase inhibitors containing a pyrazolone compound. Such compounds are said to be useful among others for the treatment of diabetes mellitus. L.A. Voronkova (Russian Pharmacol. And Toxic. (19730, Vol. 36, No. 6, p. 235, reports the hypoglycemic action of l,2-di(p-sulfamidophenyl-4-butyl pyrazolidone-3,5).
The compounds of this invention have been shown to inhibit PTPs. They are useful in the treatment of insulin resistance associated with obesity, glucose intolerance, diabetes mellitus, hypertension and ischemic diseases of the large and small blood vessels.
Summary of the invention
The present invention is related to the use of alkylidene pyrazolidinedione derivatives of formula (I) for the treatment and/or prevention of diabetes type I and/or II, impaired glucose tolerance, insulin resistance, hyperglycemia, obesity and polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS).
In particular, the present invention is related to the use of alkylidene pyrazolidinedione derivatives of formula (I) to modulate, notably to inhibit the activity of PTPs, in particular PTP IB, TC-PTP, SHP and GLEPP-1.

The alkylidene pyrazolidinedione derivatives exemplified by the present invention may be prepared from readily available starting materials using the following general methods and procedures. It will be appreciated that where typical or preferred experimental conditions (i.e. reaction temperatures, time, moles of reagents, solvents, etc.) are given, other experimental conditions can also be used unless otherwise stated. Optimum reaction conditions may vary with the particular reactants or solvents used, but such conditions can be determined by one skilled in the art by routine optimisation procedures.
In general, the alkylidene pyrazolidinedione derivatives according to formula (I) of this invention may be prepared from readily available starting materials. If such starting material is not commercially available, it may be prepared by standard synthetic techniques. The following general methods and procedures described hereinafter in the Examples may be employed to prepare compounds of formula (I).
It will be appreciated that where typical or preferred experimental conditions (i.e. reaction temperatures, time, moles of reagents, solvents, etc.) are given, other experimental conditions can also be used unless otherwise stated. Optimum reaction conditions may vary with the particular reactants or solvent used, but such conditions can be determined by a person skilled in the art by routine optimisation procedures.
Generally, alkylidene pyrazolidinedione derivatives according to formula (III) may be obtained by reacting (Knoevenagel condensation) a pyrazolinedione derivative of formula (IV) with an aldehyde of formula (V), optionally in the presence of a suitable base such as pyridine, NMO, DIEA, TEA in a suitable solvent e.g. ethanol or methanol for several hours, e.g. from 2 to 16 hours. The preferred conditions are heating the pyrazolidinedione of formula (IV) with an aldehyde of formula (V) in ethanol between 60 and 80°C in the presence of catalytic amount of pyridine. The alkylidene pyrazolidinedione of formula (III) could be obtained by deprotection of any of its protected form, e.g. a protected form of the amide (such as a N-benzylamide) according to procedures known by a person skilled in the art. For all the protection, deprotection methods, see Philip J. Kocienski, in "Protecting Groups", Georg Thieme Verlag Stuttgart, New York, 1994 and, Theodora W. Greene and Peter G. M. Wuts in "Protective Groups in Organic Synthesis", 3rd edition, John Wiley & Sons Inc., 1999 (NY).
The method of preparation of the alkylidene pyrazolidinedione compounds of formula (III) according to the above protocol has the specific advantage of being convenient and economic in the sense that it involves only a few chemical steps.
Pyrazolidinedione derivatives according to formula (IV) may be prepared by reacting a phenyl hydrazine derivative according to formula (VI) with a malonic derivative of formula (VII) whereby LGi and LG2 could be any appropriate leaving group. Particularly preferred leaving groups are those selected from the group comprising or consisting of halogen, 1- hydroxy-pyrolidine-2,5-dione, benzotriazol-1-ol, aliphatic or aromatic alkoxy group.
Particularly preferred methods to prepare compounds of formula (IV), i.e. Protocol A, is the condensation of phenyl hydrazine derivatives according to formula (VI) whereby Gi = H with malonyl dichloride in a suitable solvent such as THF, or with a dialkoxy malonate in a suitable solvent such as ethanol or methanol in presence or absence of a base such as sodium ethoxide or sodium methoxide (Protocol C).
An alternative method of preparation of the pyrazolidinedione derivatives according to formula (IV) consists in the following protocol B, i.e. by reacting a phenyl hydrazine derivative according to formula (VI) whereby Gi = C(O)CH3 with malonic derivative of formula (VII) whereby LGi and LG2 are OH in presence of Lewis acid such as PC13. An alternative method of preparation of the pyrazolidinedione derivatives according to formula (JV) may be obtained by the cyclization of compounds of formula (VIII) in the presence of an appropriate base such as sodium ethoxide or methoxide, K2CO3, NaH, LDA, LiHDMS, or DIEA in a suitable solvent such as THF or DMF.
Thus, the compounds of formula (VIII) may be obtained by the condensation of a phenyl hydrazine derivatives of formula (VI) whereby G1=H with malonic derivative, whereby LG1 is any appropriate leaving group such as OH, in presence of coupling reagent (such as DCC, DIC, EDC, PyBOP) or whereby LGi is any halogen in presence of a base such as DIEA, TEA or pyridine and LG2 is an aliphatic or aromatic alkoxy group, or a alkoxy group supported by a polymer. In case that the leaving group LG is an alkoxy group supported by a polymer, compounds of formula (IV), precursor of compounds of formula (III), could then be prepared by a solid phase route as well. The polymer bound malonic derivative could be prepared according to the protocol of Hamper, B. C. et al. J. Comb. Chem. 1999, 1, 140-150.
The pyrazolidinedione derivatives according to formula (IV) could furthermore be prepared by alternative methods disclosed by Knabe in J. et al. Arch. Pharm.

It is also noted that compounds of formula (VI) and (VII) are commercially available compounds or prepared by standard synthetic techniques as hereinafter described in the Examples.

Hence, pharmaceutical compositions comprising a compound of formula (I) and a pharmaceutically acceptable carrier, diluent or excipient therefore are also within the scope of the present invention. A person skilled in the art is aware of a whole variety of such carrier, diluent or excipient compounds suitable to formulate a pharmaceutical composition. Also, the present invention provides compounds for use as a medicament. In particular, the invention provides the compounds of formula (I) for use as PTP inhibitors, for the treatment or prevention of disorders mediated by PTPs, in particular of PTPIB, TC-PTP, SHP and GLEPP-1 in mammals, notably of humans, either alone or in combination with other medicaments, e.g. in combination with a further inhibitor of PTPs.
The compounds of the invention, together with a conventionally employed adjuvant, carrier, diluent or excipient maybe placed into the form of pharmaceutical compositions and unit dosages thereof, and in such form may be employed as solids, such as tablets or filled capsules, or liquids such as solutions, suspensions, emulsions, elixirs, or capsules filled with the same, all for oral use, or in the form of sterile injectable solutions for parenteral (including subcutaneous use). Such pharmaceutical compositions and unit dosage forms thereof may comprise ingredients in conventional proportions, with or without additional active compounds or principles, and such unit dosage forms may contain any suitable effective amount of the active ingredient commensurate with the intended daily dosage range to be employed.
When employed as pharmaceuticals, the alkylidene pyrazolidinedione derivatives of this invention are typically administered in the form of a pharmaceutical composition. Such compositions can be prepared in a manner well known in the pharmaceutical art and comprise at least one active compound. Generally, the compounds of this invention are administered in a pharmaceutically effective amount. The amount of the compound actually administered will typically be determined by a physician, in the light of the relevant circumstances, including the condition to be treated, the chosen route of administration, the actual compound administered, the age, weight, and response of the individual patient, the severity of the patient's symptoms, and the like.
The pharmaceutical compositions of these inventions can be administered by a variety of routes including oral, rectal, transdermal, subcutaneous, intravenous, intramuscular, and intranasal. The compositions for oral administration can take the form of bulk liquid solutions or suspensions, or bulk powders. More commonly, however, the compositions are presented in unit dosage forms to facilitate accurate dosing. The term "unit dosage forms" refers to physically discrete units suitable as unitary dosages for human subjects and other mammals, each unit containing a predetermined quantity of active material calculated to produce the desired therapeutic effect, in association with a suitable pharmaceutical excipient. Typical unit dosage forms include prefilled, premeasured ampoules or syringes of the liquid compositions or pills, tablets, capsules or the like in the case of solid compositions. In such compositions, the alkylidene pyrazolidinedione is usually a minor component (from about 0.1 to about 50% by weight or preferably from about 1 to about 40% by weight) with the remainder being various vehicles or carriers and processing aids helpful for forming the desired dosing form. Liquid forms suitable for oral administration may include a suitable aqueous or nonaqueous vehicle with buffers, suspending and dispensing agents, colorants, flavors and the like. Solid forms may include, for example, any of the following ingredients, or compounds of a similar nature: a binder such as microcrystalline cellulose, gum tragacanth or gelatine; an excipient such as starch or lactose, a disintegrating agent such as alginic acid, Primogel, or corn starch; a lubricant such as magnesium stearate; a glidant such as colloidal silicon dioxide; a sweetening agent such as sucrose or saccharin; or a flavoring agent such as peppermint, methyl salicylate, or orange flavoring.
Injectable compositions are typically based upon injectable sterile saline or phosphate-buf- fered saline or other injectable carriers known in the art. As above mentioned, the alkylidene pyrazolidinedione derivatives of formula (I) in such compositions is typically a minor component, frequently ranging between 0.05 to 10% by weight with the remainder being the injectable carrier and the like.
The above described components for orally administered or injectable compositions are merely representative. Further materials as well as processing techniques and the like are set out in Part 8 of Remington 's Pharmaceutical Sciences, 17 Edition, 1985, Marck Publishing Company, Easton, Pennsylvania, which is incorporated herein be reference.
The compounds of this invention can also be administered in sustained release forms or from sustained release drug delivery systems. A description of representative sustained release materials can also be found in the incorporated materials in Remington 's Pharmaceutical Sciences.

The compounds of formula (I) may be subjected to the following assays : (1) The PTP Enzyme Assay
(2) The Insulin-Dependent Glucose Uptake Assay in C2C12 Cells
(3) The In vivo assay in db/db mice
(1) The PTP Enzyme Assay (in vitro assay)
The PTP Enzyme Assay aims at determining the extent of inhibition of the examined PTP (e.g. PTPIB, TC-PTP, PTP-β, DEP-1, LAR, SHP-1, SHP-2, GLEPP-1, PTP-K, PTP-μ, VHR, hVH5) in the presence of a test compound. The inhibition is illustrated by IC50 values which denote the concentration necessary to achieve an inhibition of 50% of the given PTP.
a PTPs cloning
The cloning and expression of the catalytic domain of PTPs (e.g. PTPIB, TC-PTP, PTP-β, DEP-1, LAR, SHP-1, SHP-2, GLEPP-1, PTP-κ, PTP-μ, VHR, hVH5) maybe performed as described in J. Biol. Chem. 2000, 275(13), pp 9792-9796.
b) Materials and Methods
Assays were performed in a 96 well plate format, using the catalytic core of a human recombinant PTP, as an enzyme and 6,8-DiFluoro-4-MethylUmbelliferyl Phosphate (DiFMUP, Molecular Probes, D-6567) as a substrate at the Km value which was determined for each enzyme. Compounds to be tested were dissolved in 100% DMSO at a concentration of 2 mM. Subsequent dilutions of the test compounds (to yield a concentration of 100, 30, 10, 3, 1,0.3, 0.1, 0.03, 0.01, O.OOlμM) were performed in 100 % DMSO using a Tecan Stand Alone Workstation. 5 μl of diluted compound or vehicle ( 100% DMSO) was distributed to a black Costar 96 well plate. 25μl of DiFMUP diluted in the assay buffer (20mM Tris HCl pH 7.5, 0.01% IGEPAL CA-630, O.lmM ethylenedi- aminetetraacetic acid, ImM DL-Dithiothreitol) were added, followed by 20μl of human recombinant PTP enzyme diluted in assay buffer in order to start the reaction. The reaction ran for 30 minutes at room temperature before reading the fluorescence intensity on a Perkin-Elmer Victor 2 spectrofluorimeter (excitation at 355nm, emission at 460 nm, for 0.1s). The percentage of inhibition relative to the fluorescence observed in the presence of solvent (5% DMSO) alone was determined. The IC50 values for inhibition were determined in triplicates on at least 3 separate occasions.
The tested compounds according to formula (I) display an inhibition (illustrated by IC50 values) with regard to PTPIB, TC-PTP, SHP and GLEPP-1 of less than 10 μM, more preferred less than 1 μM. Compound 25 for instance displays an inhibition (ICso) with regard to PTPIB of 40 nM, and of about 130 nM with regard to GLEPP-1. Compound 35 displays an inhibition (IC50) with regard to PTPIB of 580 nM. Compound 45 displays an inhibition (IC50) with regard to GLEPP-1 of 47 nM.
(2) The Insulin-Dependent Glucose Uptake Assay of C2C12 Cells (Cell Assay)
The following cell assay aims at determining the effect of the test compounds on the insulin-induced glucose uptake by C2C12 cells, using Cytostar-T Scintillating Microplates from Amersham™. The use of such Cytostar-T scintillating microplates for the determination of the glucose uptake was disclosed in Proximity News Issue C4 of May 1996 for 3T3-L1 adipocytes. For the present invention a modified assay was employed to monitor the glucose uptake by a different cell type, i.e. by C2C12 cells.
The principle of said commercially available Cytostar-T scintillating microplates is the following : The Cytostar-T scintillating microplates comprise a transparent scintillating base plate wherein a monolayer of adherent cells is grown. In order words, the scintillation agents which are to be activated by the radiolabel (i.e. 2-deoxy-D-[U-14C]glucose in the instant case) necessary for the measurement are integrated into the base plate. The decay of the free radiolabel in the growth medium is too distant to produce a signal that may be measured. However, upon penetration of the radiolabel into the cells, their decay will give rise to a signal owing to the proximity of said radiolabel to the scintillating base plate. Thus, the quantification of the scintillation proximity signal allows the evaluation of the glucose up-take.
Day 1 : The assay is performed with commercially available Cytostar-T scintillating microplates whereby C2C12 cells are grown thereon at 8*10e4 /ml in a growth medium (DMEM High Glc, Gin, Penstrep 10% FCS). lOOμl/wells in a 96 well-plate are used.
Day 3 : 100 μl of a differentiation medium (DMEM- High Glc 2% HS Gin Penstrep) is added to the wells.
Day 4 : The medium is changed.
Day 7 : The medium is removed and incubated in SSM buffer for 24h (DMEM, 0.5% BSA, Gin, Pen strep).
Day 8: The cells are then ready for the determination of the glucose uptake assay :
The medium is aspirated. 50μl of experimental medium (l/4DMEM-low Glc; 2mM Gin, % PBS) 2h 37°C is added. By this step the cells are glucose-starved.
50μl of the test compound in experimental medium (0.2% DMSO) is added at different concentrations (0.05 μM; 0.1 μM; 0.3. μM; 1 μM; 3 μM; 5 μM; 10 μM and 30 μM). The plate is kept at 37°C;
For the positive control, the reference compound Cytochalasin B (which is a known agent that inhibits the glucose transport and which is available from SIGMA C-6762) in experimental medium (0.2% DMSO) is added.
For the negative control, 50μl of experimental medium (0.2% DMSO) is added,
After about 20 minutes, Insulin (bovine) is added to the control wells to 200nM to trigger the signalling pathway (37°C);
After 10 minutes 5 μl of the radiolabel 2-deoxy-D-[U-14C]glucose (having a concentration of 0.1 μCi final per well) (in 5μl experimental medium; 37°C) is added. The test compound inhibits the action of PTPIB so that the uptake of glucose (i.e. of the radiolabel 2-deoxy- D-[U-14C]glucose) by the C2C12 cells is stimulated. The radiolabel, now incorporated into the cells is close or in contact with the scintillating base plate, containing the scintillation agents incorporated into the well. The quantification of the scintillation proximity signal allows the evaluation of the glucose up-take. Such scintillation may be measured by a suitable counter; in the instant case, the plate is read on a Wallac Trilux scintillation counter (Window setting 5-500).
The tested compounds according to formula (I) display an average stimulation (%) of glucose uptake in muscle cells of between 10-30%) at a concentration of 1 μM.
