This is a national stage of international application no. PCT/JP96/02852 filed Sep. 30, 1996.

The present invention relaters to novel heterocyclic derivatives and pharmaceutical use thereof. More particularly, the present invention relates to novel heterocyclic derivatives having an indoline ring, indole ring or tetrahydroquinoline ring, which derivatives having an inhibitory activity on aryl CoA: cholesterol acyltransferase (hereinafter ACAT) and lipoperoxidation inhibitory activity, and to pharmaceutical use thereof.

It is a well-known fact that arteriosclerosis is an extremely important factor causing various circulatory diseases, and active studies have been undertaken in an attempt to achieve suppression of the evolution of arterial sclerosis or regression thereof. In particular, although the usefulness of a pharmaceutical agent which reduces cholesterol in blood or arterial walls has been acknowledged, an ideal pharmaceutical agent exhibiting positive clinical effects while causing less side-effects has not been realized. A pharmaceutical agent which directly inhibits deposition of cholesterol in arterial walls has been desired as a pharmaceutical agent which effectively prevents or treats arterial sclerosis, and studies in this field are thriving. Yet, an ideal pharmaceutical agent has not been developed.

In recent years, it has been clarified that cholesterol in blood is accumulated in arterial walls in the ester form thereof, and that it significantly evolves arteriosclerosis. A decrease in cholesterol level in blood leads to the reduction of accumulation of cholesterol ester in arterial walls, and is effective for the suppression of evolution of arteriosclerosis and regression thereof.

Cholesterol in food is esterified in mucous membrane of small intestine, and taken into blood as chylomicron. ACAT is known to play an important role in the generation of cholesterol ester in mucous membrane of small intestine. Thus, if esterification of cholesterol can be suppressed by inhibiting ACAT in mucous membrane of small intestine, absorption of cholesterol by mucous membrane and into blood can be presumably prevented to ultimately result in lower cholesterol level in blood.

In arterial walls, ACAT esterifies cholesterol and causes accumulation of cholesterol ester. Inhibition of ACAT in arterial walls is expected to effectively suppress accumulation of cholesterol ester.

From the foregoing, it is concluded that an ACAT inhibitor will make an effective pharmaceutical agent for hyperlipemia and arteriosclerosis, as a result of suppression of absorption of cholesterol in small intestine and accumulation of cholesterol in arterial walls.

Conventionally, there have been reported, for example, as such ACAT inhibitors, amide and urea derivatives [J. Med. Chem., 29: 1131 (1986), Japanese Patent Unexamined Publication Nos. 117651/1990, 7259/1990, 234839/1992, 327564/1992 and 32666/1993]. However, creation and pharmacological studies of these compounds have been far from sufficient.

Meanwhile, hyperoxidation of low density lipoprotein (LDL) is also highly responsible for intracellular incorporation of cholesterol accumulated as cholesterol ester in arterial walls. In addition, it is known that hyperoxidation of lipids in a living body is deeply concerned with the onset of arteriosclerosis and cerebrovascular and cardiovascular ischemic diseases.

Accordingly, a compound having both an ACAT inhibitory activity and lipoperoxidation inhibitory activity is highly useful as a pharmaceutical product, since it effectively reduces accumulation of cholesterol ester in arterial walls and inhibits lipoperoxidation in living organisms, thereby preventing and treating various vascular diseases caused thereby.

It is therefore an object of the present invention to provide a compound having ACAT inhibitory activity and lipoperoxidation inhibitory activity, as well as pharmaceutical use thereof, particularly ACAT inhibitor and lipoperoxidation inhibitor.

The present inventors have conducted intensive studies to achieve the above-mentioned objects and found that a certain heterocyclic derivative having an indoline ring, indole ring or tetrahydroquinoline ring is superior in water solubility as compared to conventional ACAT inhibitors, and has lipoperoxidation inhibitory activity in addition to strong ACAT inhibitory activity, and that said compound permits superior oral absorption, strong anti-hyperlipemia effect and anti-arteriosclerosis effect, which resulted in the completion of the present invention.

Thus, the present invention relates to heterocyclic derivatives of the formula (I) ##STR00002##

With the aim of demonstrating the superior properties of the compound of the present invention, ACAT inhibitory activity, serum total cholesterol reducing effect, in vitro plasma lipoperoxidation inhibitory activity, ex vivo plasma lipoperoxidation inhibitory, activity, solubility in water at pH 6.8 and plasma concentration on oral administration were determined

A high cholesterol feed [a feed added with cholesterol (1%), Clea Japan, Inc.] was fed to male Japanese white rabbits weighing 2-2.5 kg at 100 g per day and the rabbits were bred for 4 weeks. The rabbits were killed by bleeding under anesthesia and small intestine was removed. The mucosal membrane of small intestine was peeled, collected and homogenated. The homogenate was centrifuged at 4° C. and 10,000 rpm for 15 min. The obtained supernatant was further centrifuged at 4° C. and 41,000 rpm for 30 minutes to give microsomal fractions. The microsomal suspension as an enzyme sample, dimethyl sulfoxide (DMSO, 5μl) or a test compound dissolved in DMSO (test compound solution 5μl), and reaction substrate [1-14C] oleoyl CoA were added to 0.15M phosphate buffer to the total amount of 500 μl. After incubation at 37° C. for 7 minutes, a chloroform-methanol mixture was added to slop the reaction. Water was added thereto and mixed, and chloroform layer was separated. The solvent was evaporated to dryness, and the residue was it-dissolved in a-hexane. The mixture was subjected to thin layer chromatography using a silica gel plate. The spots of cholesteryl oleate on the silica gel plate were scraped, and quantitatively assayed on a liquid scintillation counter. The ACAT inhibitory activity of the test compound was expressed as a proportion (%) of inhibition of cholesterol oleate, namely, the proportion of inhibition of cholesteryl oleate production as compared to control, the results of which are shown in Table 14.

Mile Wister rats weighing 180-200 g were bred under free access to a high cholesterol feed [added with cholesterol (1%), cholic acid (0.5%) and coconut oil (10%), Clea Japan, Inc.] for 3 days, during which period a test compound (3 mg/kg and 10 mg/kg) suspended in 5% gum arabic solution was forcibly administered once a day orally for 3 days. Only 5% gum arabic solution was administered to control animals. After final administration, the test animals were fasted and blood was taken 5 hours later. The serum total cholesterol level was determined using a commercially available assay lit (cholesterol-CII-Test Wako, Wako Pure Chemical Industries, Ltd.). The activity of the test compound was expressed as a proportion (%) of reduction of serum total cholesterol level, namely, the proportion of reduction of serum total cholesterol as compared to control, the results of which are shown in Table 15.

Under ether anesthesia, blood was taken from male Wister rats weighing 160-190 g that had been fasted for 16 hours, and heparinized plasma was separated by conventional method. DMSO (10 μl) or a test compound (final concentration 10−5M) dissolved in DMSO (test compound solution 10 μl) was added to plasma (1.0 ml), and the mixture was incubated at 37° C. for 5 minutes. Distilled water (10 μl) or aqueous solution (10 μl) of (copper sulfate (final concentration 1M) was added, followed by incubation at 37° C. for 4 minutes. After incubation, the concentration of lipid peroxide in the sample was determined using a commercially available assay kit (Lipoperoxide Test Wako, Wako Pure Chemical industries, Ltd.). Specifically, lipid peroxide in the sample was allowed to develop color by thiobarbiturate method and assayed as malondialdehyde. The activity of the test compound was expressed as a proportion (%) of inhibition of malondialdehyde production, namely, the proportion of inhibition of malondialdehyde production as compared to control, the results of which are shown in Table 16.
