Specification

FORM 2 THE PATENTS ACT 1970 COMPLETE SPECIFICATION (SECTION 10) NOVEL HETEROCYCLIC COMPOUNDS USEFUL FOR THE TREATMENT OF INFLAMMATORY AND ALLERGIC DISORDERS: PROCESS FOR THEIR PREPARATION AND PHARMACEUTICAL COMPOSITIONS CONTAINING THEM Glenmark Pharmaceuticals Limited an Indian Company having its registered office at B/2 Mahalaxmi Chambers 22, Bhulabhai Desai Road Mumbai- 400 026, India THE FOLLOWING SPECIFICATION DESCRIBES THE NATURE OF THE INVENTION: AND THE MANNER IN, WHICH IT IS TO BE PERFORMED Field of the Invention The present invention relates to novel heterocyclic compounds. More particularly the present invention relates to novel phosphodiesterase type 4 (PDE4) inhibitors having a heterocyclic structure, pharmaceutical compositions including such compounds, methods for their preparation and method for their use. Background of the Invention Airway inflammation characterizes a number of severe lung diseases including asthma and chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD). Events leading to airway obstruction include edema of airway walls, infiltration of inflammatory cells into the lung, production of various inflammatory mediators and increased mucous production. The airways of asthmatic patients are infiltrated by inflammatory leukocytes, of which the eosinophil is the most prominent component. The magnitude of asthmatic reactions is correlated with the number of eosinophils present in lungs. The accumulation of eosinophils is found dramatically in the lungs of asthmatic patients although there are very few in the lungs of a normal individual. They are capable of lysing and activating cells and destroying tissues. When activated, they synthesize and release inflammatory cytokines such as IL-1, IL-3, TNF-a and inflammatory mediators such as PAF, LTD4 and related oxygen species that can produce edema, broncho-constriction. Tumor necrosis factor (TNF-a) was also known to be involved in the pathogenesis of a number of autoimmune and inflammatory diseases. Consequently, manipulation of the cytokine signaling or biosynthetic pathways associated with these proteins may provide therapeutic benefit in those disease states. It has been well demonstrated that TNF-a production in pro-inflammatory cells becomes attenuated by an elevation of intracellular cyclic adenosine 3',5'-monophosphate (cAMP). This second messenger is regulated by the phosphodiesterase (PDE) family of enzymes. The phosphodiesterase enzymes play an integral role in cell signaling mechanisms by hydrolyzing cAMP and cGP to their inactive 5' forms. Inhibition of PDE enzymes thus 2 results in an elevation of cAMP and /or cGP levels and alters intracellular responses to extra cellular signals by affecting the processes mediated by cyclic nucleotides. Since eosinophilis are believed to be a critical proinflammatory target for asthma, identification of the expression of PDE 4 gene family in eosinophils led to the PDE 4 as potential therapeutic target for asthma [Rogers, D.F., Giembycz, M.A., Trends Pharmacol. Set, 19, 160-164(1998); Barnes, P.J., Trends Pharmacol. ScL, 19, 415-423 (1998) herein incorporated by reference in their entirety]. The mammalian cyclic nucleotide phosphodiesterases (PDEs) are classified into ten families on the basis of their amino acid sequences and/or DNA sequence, substrate specificity and sensitivity to pharmacological agents [Soderling, S.H., Bayuga, S.J., and Beavo, J.A., Proc. Natl. Acad. Sci., USA, 96,7071-7076 (1999); Fujishige, K, Kotera, J., Michibata, H., Yuasa, K., Takebayashi, Si, Okamura, K. and Omori, K., J. Biol. Chem., 274, 18438-18445 (1999) herein incorporated by reference in their entirety]. Many cell types express more than one PDE and distribution of isoenzymes between the cells varies markedly. Therefore development of highly isoenzyme selective PDE inhibitors provides a unique opportunity for selective manipulation of various pathophysiological processes. Phosphodiesterase type 4 (PDE4) is an enzyme which regulates activities in cells which lead to inflammation in the lungs. PDE4, a cAMP-specific and Ca+2-independent enzyme, is a key isozyme in the hydrolysis of cAMP in mast cells, basophils, eosinophils, monocytes and lymphocytes. The association between cAMP elevation in inflammatory cells with airway smooth muscle relaxation and inhibition of mediator release has led to widespread interest in the design of PDE4 inhibitors[Trophy,T.J., Am. J. Respir. Crit. Care Med., 157, 351-370 (1998) herein incorporated by reference in their entirety]. Excessive or unregulated TNF-a production has been implicated in mediating or exacerbating a number of undesirable physiological conditions such as diseases including osteoarthritis, and other arthritic conditions; septic shock, ecdotoxic shock, respiratory distress syndrome, bone resorption diseases ; Since TNF-a also participates in the onset and progress of autoimmune diseases, PDE4 inhibitors may find utility as therapeutic agents for rheumatoid arthritis, multiple sclerosis and Crohn's disease. [Nature Medicine, \, 211-214 (1995) and ibid., 244-248 herein incorporated by reference in their entirety]. 3 Strong interest in Drugs capable of selective inhibition of PDE 4 is due to several factors such as (a) the tissue distribution of PDE-4 suggests that pathologies" related to the central nervous and immune systems could be treated with selective PDE-4 inhibitors (b) the increase in intracellular cAMP concentration, the obvious biochemical consequence of PDE-4 inhibition, has been well characterized in immuno-competent cells where it acts as a deactivating signal. Recently the PDE4 family has grown to include four subtypes - PDE4A to PDE4D, each encoded by a distinct gene {British Journal of Pharmacology; 1999; v.128; p. 1393-1398), herein incorporated by reference in its entirety. It has been demonstrated that increasing cAMP levels within these cells results in suppression of cell activation which in turn inhibits the production and release of pro¬inflammatory cytokines such as TNF-a. Since eosinophilis are believed to be a critical pro-inflammatory target for asthma, identification of the expression of the PDE-4 gene family in eosinophils led to the PDE-4 as potential therapeutic target for asthma. The usefulness of several PDE-4 inhibitors, unfortunately, is limited due to their undesirable side effect profile which include nausea and emesis (due to action on PDE-4 in the central nervous system) and gastric acid secretion due to action on PDE-4 in parietal cells in the gut. Barnette, M.S., Grous, M., Cieslinsky, L.B., Burman, M., Christensen, S.B., Trophy, T J., J. Pharmacol. Exp. Ther., 273,1396-1402 (1995) herein incorporated by reference in their entirety. One of the earliest PDE-4 inhibitor, Rolipram, was withdrawn from the clinical development because of its severe unacceptable side effect profile. Zeller E. et. al., Pharmacopsychiatry L7, 188-190 (1984) herein incorporated by reference in their entirety. The cause of severe side effects of several PDE-4 inhibitor molecules in human clinical trials has recently become apparent. There exist two binding sites on mammalian PDE-4 at which inhibitor molecules may bind. Also PDE-4 exists in two distinct forms which represent different conformations. They are designated as High affinity Rolipram binding site PDE-4H and Low affinity Rolipram binding site PDE-4L [Jacobitz, S., McLaughlin, M.M., Livi, G.P., Burman, M., Trophy, T.J., Mol. Pharmaco., 50, 891-899 (1996) herein incorporated by 4 reference in their entirety]. It was shown that certain side effects vomiting and gastric acid secretion) are associated with inhibition of PDE-4H whereas.some beneficial actions are associated with PDE-4L inhibition. It was also found that human recombinant PDE-4 exists in 4 isoforms A, B, C and D [Muller, T., Engels, P., Fozard, J.R., Trends Pharmacol. Sci., J7, 294-298 (1996) herein incorporated by reference in their entirety]. Accordingly, compounds displaying more PDE-4D isoenzyme selectivity over the A, B or C are found to have less amount of side effects than Rolipram [Hughes. B et.al., Br. J. Pharmacol 1996, 118, 1183-1191 herein incorporated by reference in their entirety]. Therefore, selective inhibitors of PDE-4 isozymes would have therapeutic effects in inflammatory diseases such as asthma and other respiratory diseases. Although several research groups all over the world are working to find highly selective PDE-4 isozyme inhibitors, so far success is limited. Various compounds have shown PDE-4 inhibition. 5 SmithKline Beecham's "Ariflo" which has the formula A, Byk Gulden's Roflumilast which has the formula U and Bayer's Bay-19-8004 which has the formula E have reached advanced stage of human clinical trials. Other compounds which have shown potent PDE-4 inhibitory activity include Celltech's CDP-840 of the formula B, Schering Plough's D-4418 of the formula C, Pfizer's 5CP-220,629 which has the formula F, Parke Davis's PD-168787 which has the formula G and Wyeth's Filaminast which has the formula H. However, recently due to efficacy and side effects problems, Ariflo, CDP-840 and Bay-19-8004 were discontinued from clinical trials as a treatment for asthma. Other compounds of the formulae C and F are presently undergoing phase-1 clinical trials.

The present invention provides a novel series of heterocyclic compounds having potential therapeutic activity and medical use against several allergic disorders, particularly in asthma. In vitro Studies Inhibition of Phosphodiesterase Enzymes (PDE4) In this assay, PDE4 enzyme converts [3H] cAMP to the corresponding [3H] 5'-AMP in proportion to the amount of PDE4 present. The [3H] 5'-AMP then was quantitatively converted to free [3H] adenosine and phosphate by the action of snake venom 5'-nucleotidase. Hence, the amount of [3H] adenosine liberated is proportional to PDE4 activity. The assay was performed with modification of the method of Thompson and Appleman (Biochemistry; 1971; 10; 311-316) and Schwartz and Passoneau (Proc. Natl. Acad. Sci. U.S.A. 1974; 71; 3844-3848), both references incorporated herein by reference in their entirety, at 34°C. In a 200 :1 total reaction mixture, the reaction mixture contained 12.5mM of Tris, 5 mM MgCl2, 1:M cAMP (cold) and 3H cAMP (0.1 :Ci), (Amersham). Stock solutions of the compounds to be investigated were prepared in DMSO in concentrations such that the DMSO content in the test samples did not exceed 0.05 % by volume to avoid affecting the PDE4 activity. Drug samples were then added in the reaction mixture (25 :l/tube). The assay was initiated by addition of enzyme mix (75 :L) and the mixture was incubated for 20 minutes at 34° C. Then the reaction was stopped by boiling the tubes for 2 mins at 100°C in a water bath. After cooling on ice for 5 minutes and addition of 50 ug/reaction of 5'-nucleotidase snake venom from Crotalus 84 atrox incubation was carried out again for 20 min. at 34°C. The unreacted substrate was separated from (3H) Adenosine by addition of Dowex AG 1X-8 ( Biorad Lab), (400 ul) which was prequilibrated (1:1:1) in water and ethanol. Reaction mixture was then thoroughly mixed, placed on ice for 15 minutes, vortexed and centrifuged at 14,000 r.p.m. for 2 mins. After centrifugation, a sample of the supernatant was taken and added in 24 well optiplates containing Scintillant (1 ml) and mixed well. The samples in the plates were then determined for radioactivity in a Top Counter and the PDE4 activity was calculated. PDE4 enzyme was present in quantities that yield <30% total hydrolysis of substrate (linear assay conditions). Additionally, activity of the compounds were tested against other Phosphodiesterase enzymes, namely, PDEl(Ca.sup.2+/calmodulin-dependent), PDE2(cGP-stimulated), PDE3 (cGP-inhibited), PDE5 (cGP-specific) and PDE6 (cGP-specific, photoreceptor).
