This application claims the benefit of U.S. Provisional Applications No. 60/819,509, filed Jul. 7, 2006, and No. 60/886,825, filed Jan. 26, 2007, the disclosures of which are hereby incorporated by reference as if written herein in their entireties.
Disclosed herein are potent and selective new bicyclic heteroaryl compounds, certain of which have been found to be useful as inhibitors of phosphodiesterase 4 (PDE4), compositions comprising the same, and their application as pharmaceuticals for the treatment of disease. Methods of inhibition of PDE4 activity are also provided, as well as methods for the treatment of inflammatory diseases and other diseases involving elevated levels of cytokines and proinflammatory mediators.
Chronic inflammation is a multi-factorial disease complication characterized by activation of multiple types of inflammatory cells, for example cells of lymphoid lineage (including T lymphocytes) and myeloid lineage (including granulocytes, macrophages, and monocytes). Proinflammatory mediators, including cytokines, such as tumor necrosis factor (TNF) and interleukin-1 (IL-1), are produced by these activated cells. Accordingly, an agent that suppresses the activation of these cells, or their production of proinflammatory cytokines, would be useful in the therapeutic treatment of inflammatory diseases and other diseases involving elevated levels of cytokines.
Cyclic adenosine monophosphate (cAMP) is a second messenger that mediates the biologic responses of cells to a wide range of extracellular stimuli. When the appropriate agonist binds to specific cell surface receptors, adenylate cyclase is activated to convert adenosine triphosphate (ATP) to cAMP. It is theorized that the agonist induced actions of cAMP within the cell are mediated predominately by the action of cAMP-dependent protein kinases. The intracellular actions of cAMP are terminated by either a transport of the nucleotide to the outside of the cell, or by enzymatic cleavage by cyclic nucleotide phosphodiesterases (PDEs), which hydrolyze the 3′-phosphodiester bond to form 5′-adenosine monophosphate (5′-AMP). 5′-AMP is an inactive metabolite.
The superfamily of PDEs is subdivided into two major classes, class I and class II, which have no recognizable sequence similarity. Class I includes all known mammalian PDEs and is comprised of 11 identified families that are products of separate genes. Some PDEs are highly specific for hydrolysis of cAMP (PDE4, PDE7, PDE8), some are highly cGMP-specific (PDE5, PDE6, PDE9), and some have mixed specificity (PDE1, PDE2, PDE3, PDE10, PDE11). All of the characterized mammalian PDEs are dimeric, but the importance of the dimeric structure for function in each of the PDEs is unknown.
The PDE4 subfamily is comprised of 4 members: PDE4A, PDE4B, PDE4C, and PDE4D. These enzymes possess N-terminal regulatory domains that presumably mediate dimerization, which results in optimally regulated PDE activity. In addition, activity is regulated via cAMP-dependent protein kinase phosphorylation sites in this upstream regulatory domain. PDE4 enzymes are broadly expressed and distributed.
Elevated levels of cAMP in human myeloid and lymphoid lineage cells are associated with the suppression of cell activation. The intracellular enzyme family of PDEs, therefore, regulates the level of cAMP in cells. PDE4 is a predominant PDE isotype in these cells, and is a major contributor to cAMP degradation. Accordingly, the inhibition of PDE function would prevent the conversion of cAMP to the inactive metabolite 5′-AMP and, consequently, maintain higher cAMP levels, and, accordingly, suppress cell activation.
PDE4 inhibitors have been shown to inhibit production of TNFα and partially inhibit IL-1β release by monocytes (see Semmler et al., Int. J. Immunopharmacol., 15, pp. 409-413, (1993); Molnar-Kimber et al., Mediators of Inflammation, 1, pp. 411-417, (1992)). PDE4 inhibitors also have been shown to inhibit the production of superoxide radicals from human polymorphonuclear leukocytes (see Verghese et al., J. Mol. Cell. Cardiol., 21 (Suppl. 2), S61 (1989); Nielson et al., J. Allergy Immunol., 86, pp. 801-808, (1990)); to inhibit the release of vasoactive amines and prostanoids from human basophils (see Peachell et al., J. Immunol., 148, pp. 2503-2510, (1992)); to inhibit respiratory bursts in eosinophils (see Dent et al., J. Pharmacol., 103, pp. 1339-1346, (1991)); and to inhibit the activation of human T-lymphocytes (see Robicsek et al., Biochem. Pharmacol., 42, pp. 869-877, (1991)).
Inflammatory cell activation and excessive or unregulated cytokine (e.g., TNFα and IL-1β) production are implicated in allergic, autoimmune, and inflammatory diseases and disorders, such as rheumatoid arthritis, osteoarthritis, gouty arthritis, spondylitis, thyroid associated ophthalmopathy, Behcet's disease, sepsis, septic shock, endotoxic shock, gram negative sepsis, gram positive sepsis, toxic shock syndrome, asthma, chronic bronchitis, adult respiratory distress syndrome, chronic pulmonary inflammatory disease, such as chronic obstructive pulmonary disease, silicosis, pulmonary sarcoidosis, reperfusion injury of the myocardium, brain, and extremities, fibrosis, cystic fibrosis, keloid formation, scar formation, atherosclerosis, transplant rejection disorders, such as graft vs. host reaction and allograft rejection, chronic glomerulonephritis, lupus, inflammatory bowel disease, such as Crohn's disease and ulcerative colitis, proliferative lymphocyte diseases, such as leukemia, ophthalmologic diseases such as dry eye and ocular pain resulting from inflammation or surgery, and inflammatory dermatoses, such as atopic dermatitis, psoriasis, and urticaria.
Other conditions characterized by elevated cytokine levels include brain injury due to moderate trauma, cardiomyopathies, such as congestive heart failure, cachexia, cachexia secondary to infection or malignancy, cachexia secondary to acquired immune deficiency syndrome (AIDS), ARC (AIDS related complex), fever myalgias due to infection, cerebral malaria, osteoporosis and bone resorption diseases, keloid formation, scar tissue formation, and pyrexia.
Additionally, several properties of TNFα, such as stimulation of collagenases, stimulation of angiogenesis in vivo, stimulation of bone resorption, and an ability to increase the adherence of tumor cells to endothelium, are consistent with a role for TNF in the development and metastatic spread of cancer in the host. TNFα recently has been directly implicated in the promotion of growth and metastasis of tumor cells (see Orosz et al., J. Exp. Med., 177, pp. 1391-1398, (1993)).
Investigators have shown considerable interest in the use of PDE4 inhibitors as anti-inflammatory agents. Early evidence indicates that PDE4 inhibition has beneficial effects on a variety of inflammatory cells such as monocytes, macrophages, T-cells of the Th-1 lineage, and granulocytes. The synthesis and/or release of many proinflammatory mediators, such as cytokines, lipid mediators, superoxide, and biogenic amines, such as histamine, have been attenuated in these cells by the action of PDE4 inhibitors. The PDE4 inhibitors also affect other cellular functions including T-cell proliferation, granulocyte transmigration in response to chemotoxic substances, and integrity of endothelial cell junctions within the vasculature.
The design, synthesis, and screening of various PDE4 inhibitors have been reported. Methylxanthines, such as caffeine and theophylline, were the first PDE inhibitors discovered, but these compounds are nonselective with respect to which PDE is inhibited. The drug rolipram, an antidepressant agent, was one of the first reported specific PDE4 inhibitors, with a reported IC50 of about 200 nM with respect to inhibiting recombinant human PDE4.
Investigators have continued to search for PDE4 inhibitors that are more selective with respect to inhibiting PDE4, that have a lower IC50 than rolipram, and that avoid the undesirable central nervous system (CNS) side effects, such as retching, vomiting, and sedation, associated with the administration of rolipram. In addition, several companies are now undertaking clinical trials of other PDE4 inhibitors. However, problems relating to efficacy and adverse side effects, such as emesis and central nervous system disturbances, remain unsolved.
Accordingly, compounds that selectively inhibit PDE4, and that reduce or eliminate the adverse side effects associated with prior PDE4 inhibitors, would be useful in the treatment of allergic and inflammatory diseases, and other diseases associated with excessive or unregulated production of cytokines, such as TNF. In addition, selective PDE4 inhibitors would be useful in the treatment of diseases that are associated with elevated cAMP levels or PDE4 function in a particular target tissue.
Novel compounds and pharmaceutical compositions useful as anti-inflammatory agents via the inhibition of PDE4 have been found, together with methods of synthesizing and using the compounds including methods for inhibiting PDE4 in a patient by administering the compounds.
Disclosed herein is a class of compounds, certain of which have been found to be useful in treating PDE4-mediated disorders and conditions, defined by structural Formula I:

Where substituents are recited without qualification as to substitution, both substituted and unsubstituted forms are encompassed. Where a substituent is qualified as “substituted,” the substituted form is specifically intended. Additionally, different sets of optional substituents to a particular moiety may be defined as needed; in these cases, the optional substitution will be as defined, often immediately following the phrase, “optionally substituted with.”
The term R or the term R′, appearing by itself and without a number designation, unless otherwise defined, refers to a moiety selected from the group consisting of hydrogen, hydroxyl, halogen, alkyl, cycloalkyl, heteroalkyl, aryl, heteroaryl and heterocycloalkyl, any of which may be optionally substituted. Such R and R′ groups should be understood to be optionally substituted as defined herein. Whether an R group has a number designation or not, every R group, including R, R′ and Rn where n=(1, 2, 3, . . . n), every substituent, and every term should be understood to be independent of every other in terms of selection from a group. Should any variable, substituent, or term (e.g. aryl, heterocycle, R, etc.) occur more than one time in a formula or generic structure, its definition at each occurrence is independent of the definition at every other occurrence. Those of skill in the art will further recognize that certain groups may be attached to a parent molecule or may occupy a position in a chain of elements from either end as written. Thus, by way of example only, an unsymmetrical group such as —C(O)N(R)— may be attached to the parent moiety at either the carbon or the nitrogen.

In general, the solvated forms are considered equivalent to the unsolvated forms for the purposes of the present invention.
The term “bond” refers to a covalent linkage between two atoms, or two moieties when the atoms joined by the bond are considered to be part of larger substructure. A bond may be single, double, or triple unless otherwise specified. A dashed line between two atoms in a drawing of a molecule indicates that an additional bond may be present or absent at that position.
The term “disease” as used herein is intended to be generally synonymous, and is used interchangeably with, the terms “disorder” and “condition” (as in medical condition), in that all reflect an abnormal condition of the body or of one of its parts that impairs normal functioning and is typically manifested by distinguishing signs and symptoms.
The term “combination therapy” means the administration of two or more therapeutic agents to treat a therapeutic condition or disorder described in the present disclosure. Such administration encompasses co-administration of these therapeutic agents in a substantially simultaneous manner, such as in a single capsule having a fixed ratio of active ingredients or in multiple, separate capsules for each active ingredient. In addition, such administration also encompasses use of each type of therapeutic agent in a sequential manner. In either case, the treatment regimen will provide beneficial effects of the drug combination in treating the conditions or disorders described herein.
“PDE4 inhibitor” is used herein to refer to a compound that exhibits an IC50 with respect to PDE4 activity of no more than about 100 μM and more typically not more than about 50 μM, as measured in the PDE4 assay described generally hereinbelow. “IC50” is that concentration of inhibitor which reduces the activity of an enzyme (e.g., PDE4) to half-maximal level. Certain representative compounds of the present invention have been discovered to exhibit inhibition against PDE4. In certain embodiments, compounds will exhibit an IC50 with respect to PDE4 of no more than about 10 μM; in further embodiments, compounds will exhibit an IC50 with respect to PDE4 of no more than about 5 μM; in yet further embodiments, compounds will exhibit an IC50 with respect to PDE4 of not more than about 1 μM, as measured in the PDE4 assay described herein.

The term “prodrug” refers to a compound that is made more active in vivo. Certain of the present compounds can also exist as prodrugs, as described in Hydrolysis in Drug and Prodrug Metabolism: Chemistry, Biochemistry, and Enzymology (Testa, Bernard and Mayer, Joachim M. Wiley-VHCA, Zurich, Switzerland 2003). Prodrugs of the compounds described herein are structurally modified forms of the compound that readily undergo chemical changes under physiological conditions to provide the compound. Additionally, prodrugs can be converted to the compound by chemical or biochemical methods in an ex vivo environment. For example, prodrugs can be slowly converted to a compound when placed in a transdermal patch reservoir with a suitable enzyme or chemical reagent. Prodrugs are often useful because, in some situations, they may be easier to administer than the compound, or parent drug. They may, for instance, be bioavailable by oral administration whereas the parent drug is not. The prodrug may also have improved solubility in pharmaceutical compositions over the parent drug. A wide variety of prodrug derivatives are known in the art, such as those that rely on hydrolytic cleavage or oxidative activation of the prodrug. An example, without limitation, of a prodrug would be a compound which is administered as an ester (the “prodrug”), but then is metabolically hydrolyzed to the carboxylic acid, the active entity. Additional examples include peptidyl derivatives of a compound. The term “therapeutically acceptable prodrug,” refers to those prodrugs or zwitterions which are suitable for use in contact with the tissues of patients without undue toxicity, irritation, and allergic response, are commensurate with a reasonable benefit/risk ratio, and are effective for their intended use.
The compounds of the present invention can exist as therapeutically acceptable salts. The present invention includes compounds listed above in the form of salts, including acid addition salts. Suitable salts include those formed with both organic and inorganic acids. Such acid addition salts will normally be pharmaceutically acceptable. However, salts of non-pharmaceutically acceptable salts may be of utility in the preparation and purification of the compound in question. Basic addition salts may also be formed and be pharmaceutically acceptable. For a more complete discussion of the preparation and selection of salts, refer to Pharmaceutical Salts: Properties, Selection, and Use (Stahl, P. Heinrich. Wiley-VCHA, Zurich, Switzerland, 2002).
The term “therapeutically acceptable salt,” as used herein, represents salts or zwitterionic forms of the compounds of the present invention which are water or oil-soluble or dispersible and therapeutically acceptable as defined herein. The salts can be prepared during the final isolation and purification of the compounds or separately by reacting the appropriate compound in the form of the free base with a suitable acid. Representative acid addition salts include acetate, adipate, alginate, L-ascorbate, aspartate, benzoate, benzenesulfonate (besylate), bisulfate, butyrate, camphorate, camphorsulfonate, citrate, digluconate, formate, fumarate, gentisate, glutarate, glycerophosphate, glycolate, hemisulfate, heptanoate, hexanoate, hippurate, hydrochloride, hydrobromide, hydroiodide, 2-hydroxyethansulfonate (isethionate), lactate, maleate, malonate, DL-mandelate, mesitylenesulfonate, methanesulfonate, naphthylenesulfonate, nicotinate, 2-naphthalenesulfonate, oxalate, pamoate, pectinate, persulfate, 3-phenylproprionate, phosphonate, picrate, pivalate, propionate, pyroglutamate, succinate, sulfonate, tartrate, L-tartrate, trichloroacetate, trifluoroacetate, phosphate, glutamate, bicarbonate, para-toluenesulfonate (p-tosylate), and undecanoate.

Salts can also be formed by coordination of the compounds with an alkali metal or alkaline earth ion. Hence, the present invention contemplates sodium, potassium, magnesium, and calcium salts of the compounds disclosed herein, and the like.
Basic addition salts can be prepared during the final isolation and purification of the compounds by reacting a carboxyl group with a suitable base such as the hydroxide, carbonate, or bicarbonate of a metal cation or with ammonia or an organic primary, secondary, or tertiary amine. The cations of therapeutically acceptable salts include lithium, sodium, potassium, calcium, magnesium, and aluminum, as well as nontoxic quaternary amine cations such as ammonium, tetramethylammonium, tetraethylammonium, methylamine, dimethylamine, trimethylamine, triethylamine, diethylamine, ethylamine, tributylamine, pyridine, N,N-dimethylaniline, N-methylpiperidine, N-methylmorpholine, dicyclohexylamine, procaine, dibenzylamine, N,N-dibenzylphenethylamine, 1-ephenamine, and N,N′-dibenzylethylenediamine. Other representative organic amines useful for the formation of base addition salts include ethylenediamine, ethanolamine, diethanolamine, piperidine, and piperazine.
While it may be possible for the compounds of the subject invention to be administered as the raw chemical, it is also possible to present them as a pharmaceutical formulation. Accordingly, provided herein are pharmaceutical formulations which comprise one or more of certain compounds of the present invention, or one or more pharmaceutically acceptable salts, esters, prodrugs, amides, or solvates thereof, together with one or more pharmaceutically acceptable carriers thereof and optionally one or more other therapeutic ingredients. The carrier(s) must be “acceptable” in the sense of being compatible with the other ingredients of the formulation and not deleterious to the recipient thereof. Proper formulation is dependent upon the route of administration chosen. Any of the well-known techniques, carriers, and excipients may be used as suitable and as understood in the art; e.g., in Remington's Pharmaceutical Sciences. The pharmaceutical compositions disclosed herein may be manufactured in any manner known in the art, e.g., by means of conventional mixing, dissolving, granulating, dragee-making, levigating, emulsifying, encapsulating, entrapping or compression processes.
The formulations include those suitable for oral, parenteral (including subcutaneous, intradermal, intramuscular, intravenous, intraarticular, and intramedullary), intraperitoneal, transmucosal, transdermal, rectal and topical (including dermal, buccal, sublingual and intraocular) administration although the most suitable route may depend upon for example the condition and disorder of the recipient. The formulations may conveniently be presented in unit dosage form and may be prepared by any of the methods well known in the art of pharmacy. Typically, these methods include the step of bringing into association a compound of the subject invention or a pharmaceutically acceptable salt, ester, amide, prodrug or solvate thereof (“active ingredient”) with the carrier which constitutes one or more accessory ingredients. In general, the formulations are prepared by uniformly and intimately bringing into association the active ingredient with liquid carriers or finely divided solid carriers or both and then, if necessary, shaping the product into the desired formulation.
Formulations of the present invention suitable for oral administration may be presented as discrete units such as capsules, cachets or tablets each containing a predetermined amount of the active ingredient; as a powder or granules; as a solution or a suspension in an aqueous liquid or a non-aqueous liquid; or as an oil-in-water liquid emulsion or a water-in-oil liquid emulsion. The active ingredient may also be presented as a bolus, electuary or paste.
Pharmaceutical preparations which can be used orally include tablets, push-fit capsules made of gelatin, as well as soft, sealed capsules made of gelatin and a plasticizer, such as glycerol or sorbitol. Tablets may be made by compression or molding, optionally with one or more accessory ingredients. Compressed tablets may be prepared by compressing in a suitable machine the active ingredient in a free-flowing form such as a powder or granules, optionally mixed with binders, inert diluents, or lubricating, surface active or dispersing agents. Molded tablets may be made by molding in a suitable machine a mixture of the powdered compound moistened with an inert liquid diluent. The tablets may optionally be coated or scored and may be formulated so as to provide slow or controlled release of the active ingredient therein. All formulations for oral administration should be in dosages suitable for such administration. The push-fit capsules can contain the active ingredients in admixture with filler such as lactose, binders such as starches, and/or lubricants such as talc or magnesium stearate and, optionally, stabilizers. In soft capsules, the active compounds may be dissolved or suspended in suitable liquids, such as fatty oils, liquid paraffin, or liquid polyethylene glycols. In addition, stabilizers may be added. Dragee cores are provided with suitable coatings. For this purpose, concentrated sugar solutions may be used, which may optionally contain gum arabic, talc, polyvinyl pyrrolidone, carbopol gel, polyethylene glycol, and/or titanium dioxide, lacquer solutions, and suitable organic solvents or solvent mixtures. Dyestuffs or pigments may be added to the tablets or dragee coatings for identification or to characterize different combinations of active compound doses.
The compounds may be formulated for parenteral administration by injection, e.g., by bolus injection or continuous infusion. Formulations for injection may be presented in unit dosage form, e.g., in ampoules or in multi-dose containers, with an added preservative. The compositions may take such forms as suspensions, solutions or emulsions in oily or aqueous vehicles, and may contain formulatory agents such as suspending, stabilizing and/or dispersing agents. The formulations may be presented in unit-dose or multi-dose containers, for example sealed ampoules and vials, and may be stored in powder form or in a freeze-dried (lyophilized) condition requiring only the addition of the sterile liquid carrier, for example, saline or sterile pyrogen-free water, immediately prior to use. Extemporaneous injection solutions and suspensions may be prepared from sterile powders, granules and tablets of the kind previously described.
Formulations for parenteral administration include aqueous and non-aqueous (oily) sterile injection solutions of the active compounds which may contain antioxidants, buffers, bacteriostats and solutes which render the formulation isotonic with the blood of the intended recipient; and aqueous and non-aqueous sterile suspensions which may include suspending agents and thickening agents. Suitable lipophilic solvents or vehicles include fatty oils such as sesame oil, or synthetic fatty acid esters, such as ethyl oleate or triglycerides, or liposomes. Aqueous injection suspensions may contain substances which increase the viscosity of the suspension, such as sodium carboxymethyl cellulose, sorbitol, or dextran. Optionally, the suspension may also contain suitable stabilizers or agents which increase the solubility of the compounds to allow for the preparation of highly concentrated solutions.
In addition to the formulations described previously, the compounds may also be formulated as a depot preparation. Such long acting formulations may be administered by implantation (for example subcutaneously or intramuscularly) or by intramuscular injection. Thus, for example, the compounds may be formulated with suitable polymeric or hydrophobic materials (for example as an emulsion in an acceptable oil) or ion exchange resins, or as sparingly soluble derivatives, for example, as a sparingly soluble salt.
For buccal or sublingual administration, the compositions may take the form of tablets, lozenges, pastilles, or gels formulated in conventional manner. Such compositions may comprise the active ingredient in a flavored basis such as sucrose and acacia or tragacanth.
The compounds may also be formulated in rectal compositions such as suppositories or retention enemas, e.g., containing conventional suppository bases such as cocoa butter, polyethylene glycol, or other glycerides.
Certain compounds of the present invention may be administered topically, that is by non-systemic administration. This includes the application of a compound of the present invention externally to the epidermis or the buccal cavity and the instillation of such a compound into the ear, eye and nose, such that the compound does not significantly enter the blood stream. In contrast, systemic administration refers to oral, intravenous, intraperitoneal and intramuscular administration.
Formulations suitable for topical administration include liquid or semi-liquid preparations suitable for penetration through the skin to the site of inflammation such as gels, liniments, lotions, creams, ointments or pastes, and drops suitable for administration to the eye, ear or nose. The active ingredient for topical administration may comprise, for example, from 0.001% to 10% w/w (by weight) of the formulation. In certain embodiments, the active ingredient may comprise as much as 10% w/w. In other embodiments, it may comprise less than 5% w/w. In certain embodiments, the active ingredient may comprise from 2% w/w to 5% w/w. In other embodiments, it may comprise from 0.1% to 1% w/w of the formulation.
Gels for topical or transdermal administration may comprise, generally, a mixture of volatile solvents, nonvolatile solvents, and water. In certain embodiments, the volatile solvent component of the buffered solvent system may include lower (C1-C6) alkyl alcohols, lower alkyl glycols and lower glycol polymers. In further embodiments, the volatile solvent is ethanol. The volatile solvent component is thought to act as a penetration enhancer, while also producing a cooling effect on the skin as it evaporates. The nonvolatile solvent portion of the buffered solvent system is selected from lower alkylene glycols and lower glycol polymers. In certain embodiments, propylene glycol is used. The nonvolatile solvent slows the evaporation of the volatile solvent and reduces the vapor pressure of the buffered solvent system. The amount of this nonvolatile solvent component, as with the volatile solvent, is determined by the pharmaceutical compound or drug being used. When too little of the nonvolatile solvent is in the system, the pharmaceutical compound may crystallize due to evaporation of volatile solvent, while an excess may result in a lack of bioavailability due to poor release of drug from solvent mixture. The buffer component of the buffered solvent system may be selected from any buffer commonly used in the art; in certain embodiments, water is used. A common ratio of ingredients is about 20% of the nonvolatile solvent, about 40% of the volatile solvent, and about 40% water. There are several optional ingredients which can be added to the topical composition. These include, but are not limited to, chelators and gelling agents. Appropriate gelling agents can include, but are not limited to, semisynthetic cellulose derivatives (such as hydroxypropylmethylcellulose) and synthetic polymers, and cosmetic agents.
Lotions include those suitable for application to the skin or eye. An eye lotion may comprise a sterile aqueous solution optionally containing a bactericide and may be prepared by methods similar to those for the preparation of drops. Lotions or liniments for application to the skin may also include an agent to hasten drying and to cool the skin, such as an alcohol or acetone, and/or a moisturizer such as glycerol or an oil such as castor oil or arachis oil.
Creams, ointments or pastes are semi-solid formulations of the active ingredient for external application. They may be made by mixing the active ingredient in finely-divided or powdered form, alone or in solution or suspension in an aqueous or non-aqueous fluid, with the aid of suitable machinery, with a greasy or non-greasy base. The base may comprise hydrocarbons such as hard, soft or liquid paraffin, glycerol, beeswax, a metallic soap; a mucilage; an oil of natural origin such as almond, corn, arachis, castor or olive oil; wool fat or its derivatives or a fatty acid such as stearic or oleic acid together with an alcohol such as propylene glycol or a macrogel. The formulation may incorporate any suitable surface active agent such as an anionic, cationic or non-ionic surfactant such as a sorbitan ester or a polyoxyethylene derivative thereof. Suspending agents such as natural gums, cellulose derivatives or inorganic materials such as silicaceous silicas, and other ingredients such as lanolin, may also be included.
Drops may comprise sterile aqueous or oily solutions or suspensions and may be prepared by dissolving the active ingredient in a suitable aqueous solution of a bactericidal and/or fungicidal agent and/or any other suitable preservative, and, in certain embodiments, including a surface active agent. The resulting solution may then be clarified by filtration, transferred to a suitable container which is then sealed and sterilized by autoclaving or maintaining at 98-100° C. for half an hour. Alternatively, the solution may be sterilized by filtration and transferred to the container by an aseptic technique. Examples of bactericidal and fungicidal agents suitable for inclusion in the drops are phenylmercuric nitrate or acetate (0.002%), benzalkonium chloride (0.01%) and chlorhexidine acetate (0.01%). Suitable solvents for the preparation of an oily solution include glycerol, diluted alcohol and propylene glycol.
Formulations for topical administration in the mouth, for example buccally or sublingually, include lozenges comprising the active ingredient in a flavored basis such as sucrose and acacia or tragacanth, and pastilles comprising the active ingredient in a basis such as gelatin and glycerin or sucrose and acacia.
For administration by inhalation, compounds may be conveniently delivered from an insufflator, nebulizer pressurized packs or other convenient means of delivering an aerosol spray. Pressurized packs may comprise a suitable propellant such as dichlorodifluoromethane, trichlorofluoromethane, dichlorotetrafluoroethane, carbon dioxide or other suitable gas. In the case of a pressurized aerosol, the dosage unit may be determined by providing a valve to deliver a metered amount. Alternatively, for administration by inhalation or insufflation, the compounds according to the invention may take the form of a dry powder composition, for example a powder mix of the compound and a suitable powder base such as lactose or starch. The powder composition may be presented in unit dosage form, in for example, capsules, cartridges, gelatin or blister packs from which the powder may be administered with the aid of an inhalator or insufflator.
Preferred unit dosage formulations are those containing an effective dose, as herein below recited, or an appropriate fraction thereof, of the active ingredient.
It should be understood that in addition to the ingredients particularly mentioned above, the formulations described above may include other agents conventional in the art having regard to the type of formulation in question, for example those suitable for oral administration may include flavoring agents.
Compounds may be administered orally or via injection at a dose of from 0.1 to 500 mg/kg per day. The dose range for adult humans is generally from 5 mg to 2 g/day. Tablets or other forms of presentation provided in discrete units may conveniently contain an amount of one or more compounds which is effective at such dosage or as a multiple of the same, for instance, units containing 5 mg to 500 mg, usually around 10 mg to 200 mg.
The amount of active ingredient that may be combined with the carrier materials to produce a single dosage form will vary depending upon the host treated and the particular mode of administration.
The compounds can be administered in various modes, e.g. orally, topically, or by injection. The precise amount of compound administered to a patient will be the responsibility of the attendant physician. The specific dose level for any particular patient will depend upon a variety of factors including the activity of the specific compound employed, the age, body weight, general health, sex, diets, time of administration, route of administration, rate of excretion, drug combination, the precise disorder being treated, and the severity of the indication or condition being treated. Also, the route of administration may vary depending on the condition and its severity.
In certain instances, it may be appropriate to administer at least one of the compounds described herein (or a pharmaceutically acceptable salt, ester, or prodrug thereof) in combination with another therapeutic agent. By way of example only, if one of the side effects experienced by a patient upon receiving one of the compounds herein is hypertension, then it may be appropriate to administer an anti-hypertensive agent in combination with the initial therapeutic agent. Or, by way of example only, the therapeutic effectiveness of one of the compounds described herein may be enhanced by administration of an adjuvant (i.e., by itself the adjuvant may only have minimal therapeutic benefit, but in combination with another therapeutic agent, the overall therapeutic benefit to the patient is enhanced). Or, by way of example only, the benefit of experienced by a patient may be increased by administering one of the compounds described herein with another therapeutic agent (which also includes a therapeutic regimen) that also has therapeutic benefit. By way of example only, in a treatment for diabetes involving administration of one of the compounds described herein, increased therapeutic benefit may result by also providing the patient with another therapeutic agent for diabetes. In any case, regardless of the disease, disorder or condition being treated, the overall benefit experienced by the patient may simply be additive of the two therapeutic agents or the patient may experience a synergistic benefit.
In any case, the multiple therapeutic agents (at least one of which is a compound of the present invention) may be administered in any order or even simultaneously. If simultaneously, the multiple therapeutic agents may be provided in a single, unified form, or in multiple forms (by way of example only, either as a single pill or as two separate pills). One of the therapeutic agents may be given in multiple doses, or both may be given as multiple doses. If not simultaneous, the timing between the multiple doses may be any duration of time ranging from a few minutes to four weeks.
Thus, in another aspect, the present invention provides methods for treating PDE4-mediated disorders in a human or animal subject in need of such treatment comprising administering to said subject an amount of a compound of the present invention effective to reduce or prevent said disorder in the subject in combination with at least one additional agent for the treatment of said disorder that is known in the art.

The invention is further illustrated by the following examples.
##STR00013##
Step 1
A mixture of 1-(2,3-dihydroxy-4-methoxyphenyl)ethanone (10 g, 55 mmol), bromocyclopentane (6.0 mL, 56 mmol), potassium carbonate (15.5 g, 112 mmol), and anhydrous DMF (100 mL) was heated at 110° C. under N2 for 17 h and then allowed to cool to rt. The mixture was poured into 0.5N HCl (600 mL) and extracted with diethyl ether (250 mL×2). The combined extracts were dried, filtered, concentrated, and purified by silica gel chromatography (1:0→17:3; hexanes:ethyl acetate) to give 1-[3-(cyclopentyloxy)-2-hydroxy-4-methoxyphenyl]ethanone: MS (ESI): 251.2.
Step 2
1-[3-(Cyclopentyloxy)-2-hydroxy-4-methoxyphenyl]ethanone (4.25 g, 17 mmol) was added portionwise to a mixture of sodium hydride (1.4 g, 60%, 35 mmol) and diethyl carbonate (30 mL) at rt under N2. The reaction was refluxed for 1 h and then cooled to rt. 10% Hydrochloric acid (30 mL) was added, and the mixture was stirred for 1 h. The reaction was diluted with water (100 mL) and extracted with ethyl acetate (200 mL×2). The combined extracts were dried, filtered, concentrated, and redissolved in t-butanol (50 mL). Potassium t-butoxide (4.0 g, 36 mmol) was added, and the reaction was refluxed. After 42 h, additional potassium t-butoxide (2.0 g, 18 mmol) was added. After an additional 2 d, the reaction was allowed to cool to rt, concentrated, diluted with 1N HCl (100 mL), and extracted with ethyl acetate (200 mL×2). The combined extracts were dried, filtered, concentrated, and purified by silica gel chromatography (3:2→0:1; hexanes:ethyl acetate) to give 8-(cyclopentyloxy)-4-hydroxy-7-methoxy-2H-chromen-2-one: MS (ESI): 277.1.
Step 3
4-Methylbenzene-1-sulfonyl chloride (135 mg, 0.71 mmol) was added to a solution of 8-(cyclopentyloxy)-4-hydroxy-7-methoxy-2H-chromen-2-one (175 mg, 0.63 mmol), pyridine (0.15 mL, 1.85 mmol), and anhydrous dichloromethane (4 mL) at rt under N2. After 20 h, the reaction was concentrated and purified by silica gel chromatography (1:0→7:3; hexanes:ethyl acetate) to give 8-(cyclopentyloxy)-7-methoxy-2-oxo-2H-chromen-4-yl 4-methylbenzenesulfonate: MS (ESI): 431.3.
Step 4
Sodium hydride (10 mg, 60%, 0.25 mmol) was added to a solution of 2,6-dichloroaniline (40 mg, 0.25 mmol) and anhydrous DMSO (2 mL) at rt under N2. After 40 min, this mixture was added to a solution of 8-(cyclopentyloxy)-7-methoxy-2-oxo-2H-chromen-4-yl 4-methylbenzenesulfonate (70 mg, 0.16 mmol) and anhydrous DMSO (2 mL) at rt under N2.

Software is not needed to interpret SMILES text strings, and an explanation of how to translate SMILES into structures can be found in Weininger, D., J. Chem. Inf. Comput. Sci. 1988, 28, 31-36. All SMILES strings, and many of the IUPAC names, used herein were generated using either Accelrys's Pipeline Pilot 6.0 or CambridgeSoft's ChemDraw 10.0.
The activity of the compounds in Examples 1-105 as PDE4 inhibitors is illustrated in the following assay. The other compounds listed above, which have not yet been made and/or tested, are predicted to have activity in this assay as well.
Phosphodiesterases regulate the activity of the second messenger cyclic adenosine monophosphate (cAMP) by hydrolyzing cAMP to adenosine monophosphate (AMP). We developed a novel coupled PDE/AK bioluminescent high-throughput assay to measure the activity of phosphodiesterases. In the PDE/AK assay, the AMP produced from the hydrolysis of cAMP by phosphodiesterase is converted to adenosine diphosphate (ADP) by the phosphotransferase activity of adenylate kinase (also known as ADK or myokinase). Adenylate kinase will catalyze the conversion of 1 mole of AMP and 1 mole of ATP into 2 moles of ADP. Thus the conversion of AMP to ADP will result in the subsequent loss of ATP. The decrease in ATP concentration can be monitored as light output using luciferase in a reaction that requires ATP to produce light. The PDE/AK assay uses luciferase, which catalyzes the production of light from ATP present in the reaction mix. The amount of emitted light is inversely proportional to the level of AMP present in the reaction. Test compounds are incubated with the phosphodiesterases and phosphodiesterase inhibitors will decrease the rate of cAMP hydrolysis and decrease the subsequent production of AMP. Thus phosphodiesterase inhibitors will decrease the conversion of ATP to ADP and result in the greatest emission of light.
Compounds may be screened for functional potency in in vitro biochemical assays for their ability to inhibit the activity of phosphodiesterase (PDE) enzymes. A novel coupled PDE/AK assay was utilized to measure the inhibitory activity of compounds on PDE isoforms. The catalytic domain of PDE4B was fused to an amino-terminus hex-histidine affinity tag and purified. PDE4B enzyme was incubated with compounds for 10 minutes. Cyclic AMP substrate, ATP and adenylate kinase were then added to the PDE enzyme mix and incubated for 45 minutes at room temperature. A commercial ATP detection assay, Perkin Elmer's easyLite ATP detection reagent, was then added to measure the relative amount of ATP present in the reaction. After 10 minute incubation, the luminescent signal was quantitated with either the Perkin Elmer Viewlux or Molecular Devices Acquest or Analyst. Roflumilast and Rolipram are the positive controls used in the assay.
The PDE/AK assay can be performed with any cAMP dependent phosphodiesterase, and can be performed in 96-, 384-, or 1536-well plates. Unlike other phosphodiesterase activity assays, the PDE/AK assay does not require radioactive substrates, modified substrates, beads, or antibodies, which each have disadvantages. Specifically, the use of radioactive substrates in a phosphodiesterase activity assay requires special protocols for handling and waste disposal, and reduced throughput. Modified substrates add the additional complexity of potentially altering the binding to the phosphodiesterase catalytic site. Fluorescently modified substrates may cause fluorescence artifacts that may interfere in the interpretation of assay results. The use of beads that selectively bind to either the cAMP or AMP may cause an additional complexity in reagent handling. The use of antibodies that selectively bind to either cAMP or AMP can be extremely costly with a relatively small signal to noise ratio. Therefore, the novel PDE/AK assay represents a simple, cost-effective alternative to known methods.
Additionally, the PDE/AK assay's mechanism offers advantages which make it useful for comparison to other phosphodiesterase activity assays. In conventional assays in which cAMP concentration is inversely proportional to the output of bioluminescence (such as Cambrex Biosciences's PDELight), phosphodiesterase catalyzes the hydrolysis of cAMP to AMP that is subsequently converted to ATP, consumed by a luciferase enzyme, and results in an increased bioluminescent output. A phosphodiesterase inhibitor prevents the hydrolysis of cAMP to AMP and consequently results in a decreased bioluminescent output. However, compounds which exhibit luciferase inhibition activity would score as a false positive for PDE inhibition in the conventional assay. In contrast, the novel PDK/AK assay would not score luciferase inhibitors as false positive for PDE inhibition because inhibition of PDE activity would result in increased bioluminescence. However, compounds that are capable of inhibiting both PDE and luciferase would be false negatives. Compounds that inhibit adenylate kinase would score as false positives in the novel PDE/AK assay. Use of both types of assay, and comparison of the data from both, would yield a richer and more reliable data set.
Accordingly, contemplated herein is a method for the detection and quantitation of PDE inhibition which uses adenylate kinase coupled to an ATP-depleting assay.

A more detailed description of the assay used herein may be found in Naglehout, T J et al. 2005, “Preservation of Tear Film Integrity and Inhibition of Corneal Injury by Dexamethasone in a Rabbit Model of Lacrimal Gland Inflammation-Induced Dry Eye,” J. Ocular Pharm. Ther., 21:2. 139-148, the disclosure of which is hereby incorporated by reference as if written herein in its entirety.
Initiation of Dry Eye and Treatment
Rabbits (n=4/group) were randomized into treatment groups and dosed topically BID with maxidex vehicle or test drug beginning one day prior to initiation of dry eye. Each rabbit received bilateral lacrimal gland injections of saline or ConA (300 μg/30 μl) and topical ocular dosing was continued BID throughout the study.
Corneal Staining
Desiccation was initiated 1-2 hours following lacrimal gland injection by placing conscious rabbits in the environmental chamber (10-15% humidity/72° F.). Following 72 consecutive hours of exposure to this dry environment, the animals were anesthetized and sutures were placed in each upper and lower eyelid and lifted to form a corneal/conjunctival cup. Methylene blue dye (1 mL, 1% in dH2O) was added to the cup for three minutes and the excess removed by washing with 200 mL BSS®. The contralateral eye was then stained using the same procedure. Rabbits were euthanized immediately following the staining procedure and the eyes were excised. The corneas were isolated with a trephine and the 9.5-mm punch of the cornea was placed in 2 mL acetone/saturated sodium sulfate (7:3, vol./vol.). Absorbance of the extracted dye was determined at 660 nm.
Tear Breakup Time (TBUT)
TBUT was quantified in a separate group of treated animals. TBUT was determined by instilling 5 μL sodium fluorescein into the cul de sac and manually blinking the lids to distribute the fluorescein within the tear film. Under slit lamp observation, the eye was held open and the time whereby one or more black spots or streaks appeared in the precorneal tear film was recorded. The rabbits were euthanized 3 days following ConA injection.
