Background

the heterocyclic derivatives of the present invention are inhibitors of plasma kallikrein and have a number of therapeutic applications, in particular in the treatment of retinal vascular permeability (retinal vascular permeability) associated with diabetic retinopathy and diabetic macular edema.

plasma Kallikrein, a trypsin-like serine protease that can release kinins from kininogens (see K.D. Bhoola et al, "Kallikrein-kinetin Cascade", Encyclopedia of respiratory Medicine, p 483-493; J.W.Bryant et al, "Human plasma Kallikrein-kinetin system: physical and Biological parameters (Human plasma Kallikrein-kininosystem: physiological and biochemical parameters)," Cardiovascular and hematological chemistry agents in pharmaceutical chemistry ", Med.234-250, 2009; K.D. Bhoola et al, Biological v., Pharmacologal, 1992, 44, and J.44. C.J.S. read and study of peptides from the Journal system: Biological peptides, see results of kininogenases measurement of kininogens in Biological systems, 33, 665-677). Although the role of plasma kallikrein in the coagulation cascade does not involve release of bradykinin or enzymatic cleavage, it is an essential member of the cascade. Plasma prekallikrein is encoded by a single gene and synthesized in the liver. It is secreted by hepatocytes as an inactive plasma prekallikrein which circulates in plasma as a heterodimeric complex bound to high molecular weight kininogen, which is activated to produce active plasma kallikrein. Kinins are potent mediators of inflammation that act through G-protein coupled receptors, and antagonists of kinins (such as bradykinin antagonists) have been previously investigated as potential therapeutic agents for the treatment of a variety of conditions (f. marceau and d. regoli, Nature rev., Drug Discovery, 2004, 3, 845-852).

Plasma kallikrein is thought to play a role in a variety of inflammatory disorders. The main inhibitor of plasma kallikrein is the serine protease inhibitor protein C1 esterase inhibitor (serpin C1 esterase inhibitor). Patients with genetic defects in C1 esterase inhibitors develop Hereditary Angioedema (HAE), which leads to intermittent swelling of the face, hands, throat, gastrointestinal tract and genitalia. The vesicles formed during acute episodes contain high levels of plasma kallikrein, which cleaves high molecular weight kininogen to release bradykinin, resulting in increased vascular permeability. Treatment with large protein plasma kallikrein inhibitors has been shown to be effective in treating HAE by preventing the release of bradykinin which causes increased vascular permeability (a. lehmann "Ecallantide (DX-88), a plasma kallikrein inhibitor for the treatment of genetic angioedema and the prevention of blood loss in on-pump cardiac surgery)" Expert opin. biol. ther.8, p 1187-99).

The plasma kallikrein-kinin system is abnormally abundant in patients with late diabetic macular edema. It has recently been disclosed that Plasma kallikrein contributes to retinal vascular dysfunction in diabetic rats (a. clermont et al "Plasma kallikrein mechanisms involved in retinal vascular dysfunction and indulges involved in retinal thickening in Diabetes)" Diabetes, 2011, 60, p 1590-98. In addition, administration of the plasma kallikrein inhibitor ASP-440 reduced retinal vascular permeability and retinal blood flow abnormalities in diabetic rats. Therefore, plasma kallikrein inhibitors should have utility as therapeutic agents to reduce retinal vascular permeability associated with diabetic retinopathy and diabetic macular edema.

Other complications of diabetes, such as cerebral hemorrhage, nephropathy, cardiomyopathy, and neuropathy, all of which are associated with plasma kallikrein, can also be considered targets for plasma kallikrein inhibitors.

synthetic and small molecule plasma kallikrein Inhibitors have been described previously, for example by Garrett et al ("Peptide inhibitor", J.peptide Res.52, p62-71(1998)), T.Griesbacher et al ("invent of tissue. kallikrein but for tissue protein secretion peptides in the Development of symptoms mediated by endogenous kinins in rat acute pancreatitis", see "tissue kallikrein instead of plasma kallikrein", see "Peptide Inhibitors" ("Peptide Inhibitors", "protein Inhibitors", "protein", "Peptide Inhibitors", "protein Inhibitors", "protein Inhibitors",.

to date, no small molecule synthetic plasma kallikrein inhibitor has been approved for medical use. The molecules described in the known art have limitations such as poor selectivity in relation to related enzymes like KLK1, thrombin and other serine proteases, as well as poor oral availability. Large protein plasma kallikrein inhibitors risk anaphylactic reactions as reported for escalatide (Ecallantide). Thus, there remains a need for compounds that selectively inhibit plasma kallikrein, do not induce allergic reactions, and are orally available. Furthermore, the vast majority of molecules in the known art are characterized by a high degree of polarity and ionizable guanidine or amidine functionality. It is well known that such functionality may be limited to intestinal permeability and therefore oral availability. For example, Tamie J. Chilcote and Sukanto Sinha ("ASP-634: An Oral drug candidate for Diabetic macular edema)," ARVO 5.6.2012-5.9.2012, Fort Lauderdale, Florida, Presentation2240) have reported that ASP-440 (a benzamidine) has poor Oral availability. It is further reported that absorption can be improved by generating a prodrug such as ASP-634. However, it is known that prodrugs may have several disadvantages, such as poor chemical stability and potential toxicity from inert carriers or unexpected metabolites. In another report, indoleamides, as compounds that may overcome the problems associated with drugs with poor or inadequate ADME-tox and physicochemical properties, are claimed, but no inhibition of plasma kallikrein is given or claimed (griffien et al, "Indole amide derivatives and related compounds for use in the treatment of neurodegenerative diseases", WO2010, 142801).

BioCryst Pharmaceuticals inc. has reported the discovery Of An orally available Plasma Kallikrein Inhibitor BCX4161 ("BCX 4161, An Oral Kallikrein Inhibitor: Safety and pharmacokinetic Results Of Phase 1 studies In Healthy Volunteers" BCX4161, An Oral Kallikrein Inhibitor, Journal Of Allergy and Clinical Immunology, Volume 133, Issue 2, Supplement, February 2014, page AB39 and "a Simple, Sensitive and Selective fluorescence assay to Monitor the Activity Of a Kallikrein Inhibitor BCX4161, Plasma selectivity and inhibition Of Plasma Activity 40", Simple fluorescence inhibition Of Plasma Kallikrein In inhibition, Plasma 4161, Plasma 19, inhibition Of Plasma Activity, Plasma 19, Plasma 201432, etc. However, human doses are relatively large and are currently tested in proof of concept studies at doses of 400mg three times a day.

There have been few reports of plasma kallikrein inhibitors that are not characterized by guanidine or amidine functionality. An example is Brandl et al ("N- ((6-amino-pyridin-3-yl) methyl) -hexanoyl-amides inhibitors of plasma kallikrein" WO2012/017020), which describes compounds characterized by amino-pyridine functionality. The oral efficacy was verified in the rat model at higher doses of 30mg/kg and 100mg/kg, but no pharmacokinetic profile was reported. Therefore, it is not yet known whether such compounds will provide sufficient oral availability or efficacy for clinical progress. Other examples are Brandl et al ("Aminopyradine derivatives as plasmatic enzyme inhibitors" WO2013/111107) and Flohr et al ("5-memberanderoerylcarboxamide derivatives as plasmatic enzyme inhibitors" WO 2013/111108). However, none of these documents reports any in vivo data and therefore it is not yet known whether such compounds would provide sufficient oral availability or efficacy for clinical progress. Another example is Allen et al "Benzylamine derivatives" WO 2014/108679.

Accordingly, there is a need to develop new plasma kallikrein inhibitors that are useful in the treatment of various disorders, in particular for reducing retinal vascular permeability associated with diabetic retinopathy and diabetic macular edema. Preferred compounds will have good pharmacokinetic properties and are particularly useful for drugs for oral delivery.

General procedure

The compounds of formula (I) should be evaluated for their biomedical properties, such as solubility and solution stability (across pH), permeability, etc., in order to select the most suitable dosage form and route of administration for the treatment of the proposed indication. These compounds may be administered alone, in combination with one or more other compounds of the invention, or in combination with (or as any combination of) one or more other drugs. Typically, these compounds are administered as a formulation in combination with one or more pharmaceutically acceptable excipients. The term 'excipient' is used herein to describe any ingredient other than a compound of the invention which may impart functionality (i.e. drug release rate control) and/or non-functionality (i.e. processing aids or diluents) to the formulation. The choice of excipient will depend largely on factors such as the particular mode of administration, the effect of the excipient on solubility and stability, and the nature of the dosage form.

The compounds of the invention intended for pharmaceutical use may be administered as a solid or liquid, such as a tablet, capsule or solution. Pharmaceutical compositions suitable for delivery of the compounds of the invention and methods for preparing the same will be apparent to those skilled in the art. Such compositions and methods for preparing them can be found, for example, in Remington's pharmaceutical Sciences, 19 th edition (Mack Publishing Company, 1995).

accordingly, the present invention provides a pharmaceutical composition comprising a compound of formula (I) and a pharmaceutically acceptable carrier, diluent or excipient.

For the treatment of conditions such as retinal vascular permeability associated with diabetic retinopathy and diabetic macular edema, the compounds of the present invention may be administered in a form suitable for injection into the ocular region of a patient, particularly, for intravitreal injection. It is envisaged that formulations suitable for such use will take the form of sterile solutions of the compounds of the invention in a suitable aqueous vehicle. The composition may be administered to a patient under the supervision of an attending physician.

The compounds of the invention may also be administered directly into the bloodstream, into subcutaneous tissue, into muscle, or into internal organs. Suitable means for parenteral administration include intravenous, intraarterial, intraperitoneal, intrathecal, intraventricular, intraurethral, intrasternal, intracranial, intramuscular, intrasynovial and subcutaneous. Suitable devices for parenteral administration include needle (including microneedle) syringes, needleless syringes, and infusion techniques.

parenteral formulations are typically aqueous or oily solutions. Where the solution is aqueous, excipients such as sugars (including but not limited to glucose, mannitol, sorbitol and the like), salts, carbohydrates and buffers (preferably at a pH of 3 to 9), but for some applications it may be more suitably formulated as a sterile non-aqueous solution or as a dry form for use in combination with a suitable vehicle such as sterile pyrogen-free water.

Parenteral formulations may include implants derived from degradable polymers such as polyesters (i.e., polylactic acid, polylactide-co-glycolide, polycaprolactone, polyhydroxybutyrate), polyorthoesters, and polyanhydrides. These formulations can be administered via a surgical incision into subcutaneous tissue, muscle tissue or directly into a specific organ.

preparation of parenteral formulations under sterile conditions can be readily accomplished using standard pharmaceutical techniques well known to those skilled in the art, for example, by lyophilization.

The solubility of the compounds of formula (I) for use in preparing parenteral solutions can be increased by using suitable formulation techniques, such as the incorporation of co-solvents and/or solubility enhancers such as surfactants, micelle structures and cyclodextrins.

in one embodiment, the compounds of the present invention may be administered orally. Oral administration may involve swallowing, to allow the compound to enter the gastrointestinal tract, and/or buccal, lingual or sublingual administration, by which the compound enters the blood stream directly from the oral cavity.

Formulations suitable for oral administration include solid suppositories, solid microparticles, semi-solids and liquids (including multi-phase or dispersion systems) such as tablets; a soft or hard capsule containing a plurality or nanoparticles, a liquid, an emulsion or a powder; lozenges (including liquid filled); chewable tablets; gelling; a fast-dispersing dosage form; film (film); ovule agents (ovules); a spray; and buccal/mucoadhesive patches.

Formulations suitable for oral administration may also be designed to deliver the compounds of the invention in an immediate release manner or in a rate-sustained manner, where the release profile may be delayed, pulsed, controlled, sustained, or delayed and sustained or modified in a manner that optimizes the therapeutic effect of the compound. The manner in which the compounds are delivered in a rate-sustaining manner is known in the art and includes sustained release polymers that can be formulated with the compounds to control their release.

examples of rate-maintaining polymers include degradable and non-degradable polymers that can release the compound by diffusion or a combination of diffusion and polymer abrasion. Examples of rate-maintaining polymers include hydroxypropylmethyl cellulose, hydroxypropyl cellulose, methyl cellulose, ethyl cellulose, sodium carboxymethyl cellulose, polyvinyl alcohol, polyvinyl pyrrolidone, xanthan gum, polymethacrylates, polyethylene oxide, and polyethylene glycol.

liquid (including multi-phase and dispersed systems) preparations include emulsions, solutions, syrups, and elixirs. Such formulations may be presented as a filler in soft or hard capsules (e.g., made from gelatin or hydroxypropylmethylcellulose), and typically comprise a carrier, for example, water, ethanol, polyethylene glycol, propylene glycol, methylcellulose, or a suitable oil, and one or more emulsifying agents and/or suspending agents. Liquid formulations may also be prepared by reconstitution, for example, from a solid in a sachet.

The compounds of the present invention may also be administered in fast dissolving, fast disintegrating dosage forms such as those described in Liang and Chen, Expert Opinion in Therapeutic Patents, 2001, 11(6), 981-.

Formulation of tablets is described in Pharmaceutical Dosage Forms: tablets (pharmaceutical dosage form: tablet), Vol.1, H.Lieberman and L.Lachman (Marcel Dekker, New York, 1980).

For administration to human patients, the total daily dose of the compounds of the invention will typically range from 0.01mg to 1000mg, or from 0.1mg to 250mg, or from 1mg to 50mg, depending of course on the mode of administration.

The total dose may be administered in single or divided doses and may fall outside the typical ranges given herein, under the direction of a physician. These doses are based on average human subjects weighing about 60kg to 70 kg. A physician will be able to readily determine dosages for subjects with weights outside this range, such as infants and elderly.

synthesis method

The compounds of the present invention may be prepared using appropriate materials according to the procedures of the following schemes and examples, and are further illustrated by the specific examples provided below. In addition, by utilizing the procedures described herein, one of ordinary skill in the art can readily prepare other compounds that are within the scope of the invention claimed herein. However, the compounds illustrated in the examples are not to be construed as forming the only material considered to be the invention. The examples further illustrate details for the preparation of the compounds of the present invention. Those skilled in the art will readily appreciate that known variations of the conditions and procedures of the following preparative procedures can be used to prepare these compounds.

The compounds of the present invention may be isolated in the form of their pharmaceutically acceptable salts, such as those described previously above.

It may be necessary to protect reactive functional groups (e.g., hydroxyl, amino, thiol, or carboxyl) in intermediates used in preparing the compounds of the invention to avoid their undesirable participation in reactions that lead to the formation of the compounds. Conventional protecting groups may be used, for example, fromgreene and P.G.M.Wuts in "Protective groups in organic chemistry" John Wiley and Sons, 4 ththVersion 2006. For example, a commonly used amino protecting group suitable for use herein is tert-butoxycarbonyl (Boc), which is readily removed by treatment with an acid such as trifluoroacetic acid or hydrochloric acid in an organic solvent such as dichloromethane. Alternatively, the amino protecting group may be benzyloxycarbonyl (Z) removable by hydrogenation with a palladium catalyst under a hydrogen atmosphere, or 9-fluorenylmethyloxycarbonyl (Fmoc) removable by a solution of a secondary organic amine such as diethylamine or piperidine in an organic solvent. The carboxyl group is typically protected as an ester, such as methyl, ethyl, benzyl or tert-butyl, which can be removed by hydrolysis in the presence of a base, such as lithium hydroxide or sodium hydroxide. The benzyl protecting group can also be removed by hydrogenation with a palladium catalyst under hydrogen atmosphere, while the tert-butyl group can also be removed by trifluoroacetic acid. Alternatively, the trichloroethyl ester protecting group is removed with zinc in acetic acid. A common hydroxy protecting group suitable for use herein is methyl ether, and the deprotection conditions include refluxing in 48% aqueous HBr for 1-24 hours, or by stirring with borane tribromide in dichloromethane for 1-24 hours. Alternatively, where the hydroxy group is protected as a benzyl ether, the deprotection conditions comprise hydrogenation with a palladium catalyst under a hydrogen atmosphere.

examples of synthetic methods which can be used for preparing 4-carboxyimidazoles are described in EP 1426364A 1 ("Imidazole-derivatives as factor Xa inhibitors"), p 27-28.

compounds according to formula I may be prepared using conventional synthetic methods, such as, but not limited to, the route outlined in scheme 1. Coupling of amine 2 with acid 1 affords compound 3. The coupling is typically carried out in the presence of an organic base using standard coupling conditions such as hydroxybenzotriazole and carbodiimides, such as water soluble carbodiimides. Other standard coupling methods include the reaction in the presence of 2- (1H-benzotriazol-1-yl) -1, 1, 3, 3-tetramethylammonium hexafluorophosphate, 2- (3H- [1, 2, 3 ] ammonium hexafluorophosphate]Triazolo [4, 5-b]Pyridin-3-yl) -1, 1, 3, 3-tetramethylisourea hexafluorophosphate (V), benzotriazol-1-yl-oxy-tris-pyrrolidinyl-phosphonium hexafluorophosphate or bromo-trispyrrolidinyl-reaction of the acid with the amine in the presence of an organic base such as triethylamine, diisopropylethylamine or N-methylmorpholine in the case of phosphonium hexafluorophosphate. Alternatively, amide formation may occur via an acid chloride in the presence of an organic base. The acid chlorides can be formed by methods known in the literature, for example by reaction of the acid with oxalyl chloride or thionyl chloride.

Alternatively, compounds according to general formula I may be prepared using the route described in scheme 2 a. Acid 4 can be coupled with amine 2 using a suitable coupling method as previously described to provide compound 5. In a typical second step, the nitrogen of the heterocycle is alkylated with compound 6 to give compound 7. The alkylation may be carried out in the presence of a base such as potassium carbonate, cesium carbonate, sodium carbonate or sodium hydride, in which case the leaving group is a halide or sulfonate. Alternatively, the alkylation can be carried out using an alcohol under Mitsunobu conditions in the presence of triphenylphosphine.

In a variation of scheme 2a, the compounds according to general formula I may be prepared using the route described in scheme 2 b. Scheme 2b differs from scheme 2a in that the moiety Y is equal to N, so the protecting group strategy can be employed and the synthetic steps performed in a different order. The pyrazole carboxylic acid compound 8 protected as ester (PG) as described before is alkylated with compound 6. The alkylation may be carried out in the presence of a base such as potassium carbonate, cesium carbonate, sodium carbonate or sodium hydride, in which case the leaving group is a halide or sulfonate. Alternatively, the alkylation can be carried out using an alcohol under Mitsunobu conditions in the presence of triphenylphosphine. In this case, there are two nitrogens that may undergo alkylation, and thus it is possible to form two regioisomers 9 and 10. Compounds 9 and 10 can be isolated at this stage or at a later stage of the synthesis using isolation methods known to those skilled in the art (e.g., by chromatography or fractional crystallization). The protecting group of compound 9 is removed by hydrolysis using standard methods as previously described to give the corresponding acid 11. Compound 11 can be coupled with amine 2 using a suitable coupling method as previously described to provide compound 12.

alternatively, compounds according to general formula I may be prepared using the route described in scheme 3. Pyrrole 17 can be formed in two steps, the first step involving reaction of the sodium salt of alkyl ketone acetate 13, typically protected with a Protecting Group (PG), as described previously, with chloroketone 14 in the presence of a base such as potassium carbonate to give compound 15, compound 15 in a typical second step with amine 16 in the presence of an acid such as, but not limited to, a sulfonic acid derivative (e.g., p-toluenesulfonic acid) to give compound 17, followed by hydrolysis of compound 17 to the corresponding acid 18 in a typical third step using standard methods as described previously. In a typical fourth step, acid 18 is coupled with amine 2 using a suitable coupling method as previously described to give compound 19.

The amine compound 2 can be prepared using conventional synthetic methods such as, but not limited to, the route described in scheme 4. Nitrile compound 20 is reduced by standard reducing agents including, but not limited to, lithium aluminum hydride, sodium borohydride and nickel chloride, sodium borohydride and cobalt chloride, borane, and catalytic hydrogenation using a catalyst such as palladium, platinum, or Raney nickel (Raney nickel). In some cases, for example when the reducing agent is sodium borohydride or catalytic hydrogenation is employed, the resulting amino group may be protected in situ, for example to yield carbamate 21, e.g., tert-butoxycarbamate. This may help to enable purification of intermediate compound 21, for example by chromatography. The protecting group is subsequently removed using standard conditions as previously described to afford compound 2.
