Specification

SPECIFICATION PYRROLOPYRIDAZINONE COMPOUND TECHNICAL FIELD [0001] The present invention relates to a novel pyrrolo- pyridazinone compound and a pharmaceutically acceptable salt thereof useful as a medicine, and a pharmaceutical composition containing these. The pyrrolopyridazinone compound according to the present invention has a potent phosphodiesterase 4 (herein¬after abbreviated to as PDE4) inhibiting action, and controls function of cells restrainingly by causing increase in a cyclic adenosine monophosphate (cAMP) con¬centration in cells. PDE4 localizes in cells which participate in an inflammatory reaction, and further exists in bronchial smooth muscle cells, so that it causes restraint of functions of inflammatory cells and relaxation of bronchial smooth muscle, whereby it is useful, for _ example, as an anti-inflammatory agent or an inhibitor of respiratory tract contraction. BACKGROUND ART [0002] It has been known pyrrolopyridazinone compounds similar to the compound of the present invention (see Patent literature 1 and Non-patent literatures 1 to 3) , but it has been not known that these compounds have a PDE4 inhibitory activity. [0003] As a PDE4 inhibitor, it has already been known com¬pounds such as xanthine derivatives. Rolipram analogues, or nitroquazone derivatives, etc., but these inhibitors could not be used clinically since they causes severe vomit or nausea as side effects (see Non-patent literature 4). In recent years, PDE4 inhibitors improved in side effects such as vomit and nausea have been reported that they are useful for treatment of asthma, chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (hereinafter also referred to as COPD) and allergic coryza (see Non-patent literatures 5 to 7). However, it cannot be said that they have a clinically sufficient effects even in compounds in which vomit or nausea as side effects are improved with a certain extent.

[937] Test example 1 Measurement of PDE4 enzyme inhibiting action Preparation of a PDE4 enzyme solution was carried out according to the method of Cooper et al. (Br. J. Pharma¬col., 126, 1863 (1999)) by modifying a part thereof. Heparin-treated peripheral blood from healthy volunteer was stratified by a blood cell separating solution (Polymorphprep™, available from AXIS-SHIELD PoC AS CO.), and centrifugation was carried out at 20°C with 1900 rpm for 27 minutes to obtain polymorphonuclear leukocytes. The polymorphonuclear leukocytes were washed with a Hanks' balanced salt solution, then, a mixed solution comprising 70% of 10 raM 3-morpholinopropane sulfonic acid buffer solution (pH 7.4) containing 1 mM EGTA, 1 mM magnesium acetate and 5 mM dithiothreitol and 30% of ethylene glycol was added thereto to dissolve the same under ice-cooling, and the obtained cell dissolved solution was used as a PDE4 enzyme solution. Measurement of PDE4 activity was carried out according to the method of Owens, et al. (Biochem. J., 326, 53 (1997)) by modifying a part thereof. The PDE4 enzyme solution was incubated with a compound to be tested dissolved in dimethylsulfoxide in 80 mM Tris-HCl buffer solution (pH 7.4) containing 0.2 ^M [^H] cAMP, 0. ImM cGMP, 2 0mM MgClj and 12 mM 2-mercaptoethanol at 3 0°C for 3 0 minutes. Trifluoroacetic acid (final concentration: 1%) was added to the mixture to stop the reaction, and the reaction mixture was added to neutral alumina column (BOND ELUT™, available from VARIAN INC.). After the column was washed with lOOmM Tris-HCl buffer solution (pH 8.0), ['H] 5'-AMP was eluted with 2N sodium hydroxide solution, and radioactivity of the eluent was measured by a liquid scintillation analyzer. A concentration of the compound to be tested which inhibits 50% of PDE4 activity was calculated from the relation between the concentration of the compound to be tested which had been added and PDE4 activity as an IC50 value. The test results are shown in Table 6.

Test example 2 [940] Pulmonary neutrophil infiltration-inhibiting activity in SD rats Inhalation of lipopolysaccharide (hereinafter abbrevi¬ated to as LPS) was carried out by modifying the method of Moraes et al. (Br. J. Pharmacol., 123. 631 (1998)). SD rats (male, 5-weeks old, supplied by CHARLES RIVER LABORATORIES JAPAN, INC.) fasted 24 hours before admini¬stration of a compound were kept in a plastic cage, and inhalated LPS (L2880-500MG, available from SIGMA Inc.) (0.1 mg/ml) dissolved in physiological saline for 30 minutes. An ultrasonic nebulizer (NE-U12, manufactured by Omron Corporation) was used for inhalation. A compound to be tested is dissolved (10 ml/Kg) in mixed solution of polyethylene glycol (hereinafter abbreviated to as PEG) and water, and orally administered 15 minutes before the inhalation of LPS. For the control group, 50% PEG solution was administered. Bronchoalveolar lavage (hereinafter abbreviated to as BAD was carried out as mentioned below 4 hours after the inhalation of LPS. SD rats were anesthetized by sodium pentobarbital (64.8 mg/Kg, i.p.), then, inferior vena cava was cut open to carry out exsanguination, trachea was exposed, a peroral sonde (manufactured by Fuchigami Kikai Co.) for mouse was inserted therein, and the trachea was ligated and fixed. 3.5 ml of physiological saline contain¬ing heparin (1 U/ml) was injected by using a disposable injection syrindge (5 ml volume, manufactured by Terumo Corporation), and immediately recovered. This operation was repeated four times to obtain a bronchoalveolar lavage fluid (hereinafter abbreviated to as BALF). BALF was centrifugated (at 2500 rpm, 10 minutes, 4°C), and 1 ml of 0.5% hexadecyltrimethylammonium bromide (030-02105, available from Wako Pure Chemical Industries, Ltd.) was added to the precipitated cells. Thereafter, a freeze-thaw operation (-80°C/37°C) was repeated three times to destroy the cells. As an index of a number of neutrophil, measurement of myeloperoxidase (hereinafter abbreviated to as MPO) activity was carried out as follows. Measurement of MPO activity was carried out by partially modifying the method of Krawisz et al. (GASTROENTEROLOGY, 1344 (1984)). To cell dissolved solution was added 50 mM phosphate buffer solution (pH 6.0) containing o-dianisidine hydrochloride (0.2 mg/ml) and 0.005% hydrogen peroxide, and change in absorbance at 450 nm was measured. As a MPO standard substance, MPO from human sputum (available from Elastin Products Company Inc.) was used. Measurement of absorbance was carried out by using a Microplate Reader (MTP-32, manufactured by Corona Electric Co., Ltd.). An inhibiting rate of the compound to be tested relative to the control was calculated. The test results are shown in Table 7.

The compound to be tested was suspended in 0.5% aqueous methyl cellulose solution (5 ml/Kg), and administered nasally. With respect to each dose, each administered to 3 or 4 monkeys, and a dose in which emesis had not been admitted in all monkeys was made a maximum non-emesis dose. The test results are shown in Table 8.
