INHIBITORS OF PHOSPHODIESTERASE TYPE-IV
Field of the Invention
The present invention relates to isoxazoline derivatives, which can be used as selective inhibitors of phosphodiesterase (PDE) type IV. In particular, compounds disclosed herein can be useful in the treatment of AIDS, asthma, arthritis, bronchitis, chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD), psoriasis, allergic rhinitis, shock, atopic dermatitis, Crohn's disease, adult respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS), eosinophilic granuloma, allergic conjunctivitis, osteoarthritis, ulcerative colitis and other inflammatory diseases in a patient, particularly in humans. The present invention also relates to processes for the preparation of disclosed compounds, as well as pharmaceutical compositions thereof, and their use as phosphodiesterase (PDE) type IV inhibitors.
Background of the Invention
It is known that cyclic adenosine-3 ',5 '-monophosphate (cAMP) exhibits an important role of acting as an intracellular secondary messenger. The intracellular hydrolysis of c AMP to adenosine 5 '-monophosphate (AMP) causes a number of inflammatory conditions, which include, but are not limited to, psoriasis, allergic rhinitis, shock, atopic dermatitis, Crohn's disease, adult respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS), eosinophilic granuloma, allergic conjunctivitis, osteoarthritis, and ulcerative colitis. Cyclic nucleotide phosphodiesterases (PDE), a biochemically and functionally, highly variable superfamily of the enzyme, is the most important factor in the control of cAMP (as well as of cGMP) levels. Eleven distinct families with more than 25 gene products are currently recognized. Although PDE I, PDE II, PDE III, PDE IV, and PDE VII all use cAMP as a substrate, only the PDE IV and PDE VII types are highly selective for hydrolysis of cAMP. Accordingly, inhibitors of PDE, particularly the PDE IV inhibitors, such as rolipram or Ro- 1724, are known as cAMP-enhancers. Immune cells contain PDE rV and PDE III, of which PDE IV is prevalent in human mononuclear cells. Thus, the inhibition of phosphodiesterase type IV has been a target for modulation and, accordingly, for therapeutic intervention in a range of disease processes.
The initial observation that xanthine derivatives, theophylline and caffeine inhibit the hydrolysis of cAMP led to the discovery of the required hydrolytic activity in the cyclic nucleotide phosphodiesterase (PDE) enzymes. More recently, distinct classes of
PDE have been recognized, and their selective inhibition has led to improved drug therapy. Thus, it was recognized that inhibition of PDE IV could lead to inhibition of inflammatory mediator release and airway smooth muscle relaxation.
3-Aryl-2-isoxazoline derivatives are known as anti-inflammatory agents and isoxazoline compounds are known as inhibitors of TNF release. However, there remains a need for new selective inhibitors of phosphodiesterase (PDE) type IV.

PDE-IV Enzyme Assay
The efficacy of compounds as PDE-4 inhibitor was determined by an enzyme assay (Burnouf et al. ; J. Med. Chem. , 2000, 43 :4850-4867). The PDE-4 enzyme source used was U937 cell cytosolic fraction prepared by sonication. The enzyme reaction was carried out, with the cytosolic fraction as the enzyme source, in the presence of cAMP (1 μM) at 30 0C in the presence or absence of NCE for 45 - 60 min. An aliquot of this reaction mixture was taken further for the ELISA assay to determine level of cAMP in the sample. The concentration of the cAMP in the sample directly correlates with the degree of PDE-4 enzyme inhibition. Results were expressed as percent control and the IC50 values of test compounds were reported to be in the range of about μM to low fM. For example, the IC50 for PDE-IV inhibition ranged from about 1 μM to about 100 fM, or from about 600 nM to about 100 fM, or from about 400 nM to about 100 fM, or from about 200 nM to about 100 fM, or from about 100 nM to about 100 fM, or from about 75 nM to about 100 fM, or from about 1 nM to about 100 fM, as compared to rolipram (about 480 nM 5 repetitions). Compound No. 119 was not tested as it was insoluble under the experimental conditions.
CeII based Assay for TNF-α release
Method of isolation of Human Peripheral Blood Mononuclear Cells:
Human whole blood was collected in vacutainer tubes containing heparin or EDTA as an anti coagulant. The blood was diluted (1:1) in sterile phosphate buffered saline and 10 ml. was carefully layered over 5 ml Ficoll Hypaque gradient (density 1.077 g/ml) in a 15 ml conical centrifuge tube. The sample was centrifuged at 3000 rpm for 25 minutes in a swing-out rotor at room temperature. After centrifugation, interface of cells were collected, diluted at least 1 :5 with PBS and washed three times by centrifugation at 2500 rpm for 10 minutes at room temperature. The cells were resuspended in serum free RPMI 1640 medium at a concentration of 2 million cells/ml. Alternatively whole blood was used.
LPS stimulation of Human PBMNCs :
PBMN cells (0.1 ml ; 2 million/ml) were co-incubated with 20 μl of compound (final DMSO concentration of 0.2 %) for 10 min in a flat bottom 96 well microtiter plate. Compounds were dissolved in DMSO initially and diluted in medium for a final concentration of 0.2% DMSO. LPS (1 μg/ml, final concentration) was then added at a volume of 10 μl per well. After 30 min, 20 μl of fetal calf serum (final concentration of 10%) was added to each well. Cultures were incubated overnight at 370C in an atmosphere of 5% CO2 and 95% air. Supernatant were then removed and tested by ELISA for TNF-α release using a commercial kit (e.g. BD Biosciences). For whole blood, the plasma samples were diluted 1 :20 for ELISA. The level of TNFα in treated wells was compared with the vehicle treated controls and inhibitory potency of compound was expressed as IC50 values calculated by using Graph pad prism.
Compounds 29, 33, 39, 52, 56, 57, 60, 61, 140, 148, 151, 154, 157 and 164 exhibited IC50 in the TNF assay of from about 10 μM to about 0.27 nM, or from about 200 nM to about 0.24 nM, or from about 130 nM to about 0.24 nM, or from about 12 nM to about 0.24 nM, as compared to rolipram (about 240 nM, 4 repetitions).
