Description

Acylaminoimidazoles and acylaminothiazoles

The invention relates to acylaminoimidazoles and acylaminothiazoles and to processes for their preparation and to their use for the production of medicaments for the treatment and / or prophylaxis of diseases, in particular of cardiovascular diseases, preferably of thromboembolic diseases.

Blood clotting is a protective mechanism of the organism that can quickly and reliably "seal" defects in the blood vessel wall, thus preventing or minimizing blood loss, and bleeding after vascular injury is essentially through the coagulation system, which involves an enzymatic cascade It involves numerous clotting factors, each of which, once activated, converts the next inactive precursor to its active form, transforming the soluble fibrinogen into the insoluble fibrin at the end of the cascade Traditionally, a distinction is made in the blood clotting between the intrinsic and the extrinsic system, which result in a final common pathway, where the active enzyme Factor Xa is formed from the ptsoenzyme factor X. The activated serine protease Xa cleaves prothromb The resulting thrombin in turn splits fibrinogen into fibrin. Subsequent cross-linking of the fibrin monomers leads to the formation of blood clots and thus to haemostasis.

In addition, thrombin is a potent trigger of platelet aggregation via the proteolytic activation of platelet receptors, which also makes a significant contribution to hemostasis. Other functions of thrombin that contribute to blood coagulation are the stabilization of the fibrin clot via the activation of factor XIII, the enhancement of the coagulation reaction via the activation of cofactors V and VIII, and the inhibition of fibrinolysis via the activation of procarboxypeptidase B (syn. TAFI ). Finally, by the proteolytic activation of the protein C, thrombin can counteract an excessive activity of the coagulation cascade and thus an excessive hemostasis (thrombosis)

Hemostasis is subject to a complex regulatory mechanism. An uncontrolled activation of the coagulation system or a defective inhibition of the activation processes can cause the formation of local thromboses or embolisms in vessels (arteries, veins, lymphatics) or cardiac cavities. This can lead to serious thromboembolic diseases. In addition, hypercoagulability - systemically - in a consumption coagulopathy can lead to disseminated intravascular coagulation. thromboembolic Complications also occur in microangiopathic hemolytic anemias, extracorporeal blood circuits, such as hemodialysis, and heart valve prostheses.

Thromboembolic disorders are the most common cause of morbidity and mortality in most industrialized countries [Heart Disease: A Textbook of Cardiovascular Medicine, Eugene Braunwald, 5th Ed., 1997, W.B. Saunders Company, Philadelphia].

The anticoagulants known in the art, i. Substances for the inhibition or prevention of blood clotting, have various, often serious disadvantages. Efficient treatment or prophylaxis of thromboembolic disorders is therefore found to be very difficult and unsatisfactory in practice (DA Lane, et al, Directing Thrombin, Blood 106, 2605-2612, 2005, D. Gustafsson, et al., Nature Reviews Drug Discovery, 3, 649-659, 2004; L. Wallentin, et al., The Lancet 362, 789-797, 2003).

For the therapy and prophylaxis of thromboembolic diseases, on the one hand heparin is used, which is administered parenterally or subcutaneously. Due to more favorable pharmacokinetic properties, although increasingly low molecular weight heparin is nowadays increasingly preferred; However, this also the known disadvantages described below can not be avoided, which consist in the therapy with heparin. Thus, heparin is orally ineffective and has only a comparatively low half-life. Since heparin simultaneously inhibits several factors of the blood coagulation cascade, there is an unselective effect. In addition, there is a high risk of bleeding, in particular cerebral hemorrhage and bleeding in the gastrointestinal tract can occur, and it can lead to thrombocytopenia, Alopecia medicomentosa or osteoporosis [Pschyrembel, Clinical Dictionary, 257th edition, 1994, Walter de Gruyter Verlag, page 610, keyword "heparin "Römpp Lexicon Chemistry, Version 1.5, 1998, Georg Thieme Verlag Stuttgart, keyword" heparin "].

A second class of anticoagulants are the vitamin K antagonists. These include, for example, 1,3-indandiones, but especially compounds such as warfarin, phenprocoumon, dicumarol and other coumarin derivatives, which are unsuitable for the synthesis of various products of certain vitamin K-dependent coagulation factors in the liver. Due to the mechanism of action, the effect is only very slow (latency until the onset 36 to 48 hours). Although the compounds can be administered orally, due to the high risk of bleeding and the narrow therapeutic index, a complex individual adjustment and observation of the patient is necessary [J. Hirsh, J. Dalen, DR Anderson et al., "Oral anticoagulants: Mechanism of action, clinical effectiveness, and optimal therapeutic rank" Chest 2001, 1 19, 8S-21 S, J. Ansell, J. Hirsh, J. Dalen et al., "Managing Oral anticoagulant therapy "Chest 2001, 19, 22S-38S, PS Wells, AM Holbrook, NR Crowther et al.," Interactions of warfarin with drugs and food "Ann. Intern. Med. 1994, 121, 676-683]. In addition, other side effects such as gastrointestinal disturbances, hair loss and skin necrosis are described.

However, in the course of many cardiovascular and metabolic diseases, systemic factors, such as e.g. Hyperlipidemia, diabetes or smoking, due to blood flow changes with stasis, e.g. in atrial fibrillation, or as a result of pathological vascular wall changes, e.g. endothelial dysfunction or atherosclerosis, to an increased tendency of coagulation and platelet activation. This undesirable and excessive hemostasis can lead to thromboembolic diseases and thrombotic complications with life-threatening conditions through the formation of platelet-rich and thrombi.

Recent approaches to oral anticoagulants are at various stages of clinical testing or use, but have also shown disadvantages, such as: highly variable bioavailability, liver damage and bleeding complications.

An object of the present invention is therefore to provide novel compounds as thrombin inhibitors for the treatment of cardiovascular diseases, in particular of thromboembolic diseases, in humans and animals, which have a large therapeutic range.

WO 2005/092864 describes structurally similar imidazole derivatives and their use for the treatment of neurodegenerative and neurological diseases, such. Alzheimer's. WO 02/053161 describes the use of imidazole and thiazole derivatives for the treatment of fibrotic diseases.

The effect of the test substances on the Thrombogram (thrombin generation assay according to Hemker) is determined in vitro in human plasma (Octaplas® from Octapharma).

In Hemker's thrombin generation assay, the activity of thrombin in clotting plasma is determined by measuring the fluorescent cleavage products of substrate 1-1140 (Z-Gly-Gly-Arg). AMC, Bachern). The reactions are carried out in the presence of varying concentrations of test substance or the corresponding solvent. Reagents from the company Thrombinoscope are used to start the reaction (PPP reagent: 30 pM recombinant tissue factor, 24 μM phospholipids in HEPES). In addition, a Thrombin Calibrator from the company Thrombinoscope is used, whose amidolytic activity is required for calculating the thrombin activity in a sample with an unknown amount of thrombin. The test is carried out according to the manufacturer (Thrombionsocpe BV): 4 .mu.l of the test substance or the solvent, 76 .mu.l of plasma and 20 .mu.l of PPP reagent or thrombin calibrator are incubated at 37 ⁰ C for 5 min. After addition of 20 μl of 2.5 mM thrombin substrate in 20 mM Hepes, 60 mg / ml BSA, 102 mM CaCl ₂ , the thrombin generation is measured for 120 min every 20 s. The measurement is carried out with a fluorometer (Fluoroskan Ascent) from Thermo Electron, which is equipped with a 390/460 nM filter pair and a dispenser.

By using the "thrombinoscope software", the thrombogram is calculated and graphically displayed and the following parameters are calculated: lag time, time to peak, peak, ETP (endogenous thrombin potential) and start tail.

Determination of the anticoagulant effect

The anticoagulant activity of the test substances is determined in vitro in human, rabbit and rat plasma. For this purpose, blood is removed using a 0.11 molar sodium citrate solution as a template in a mixing ratio of sodium citrate / blood 1/9. The blood is mixed well immediately after collection and centrifuged for 15 minutes at approximately 4000 g. The supernatant is pipetted off.

The prothrombin time (PT, synonyms: thromboplastin time, quick test) is determined in the presence of varying concentrations of test substance or the corresponding solvent with a commercially available test kit (Neoplastin® from Boehringer Mannheim or Hemoliance® RecombiPlastin from Instrumentation Laboratory). The test compounds are incubated for 3 minutes at 37 ^° C. with the plasma. Subsequently, coagulation is triggered by the addition of thromboplastin and the time of coagulation is determined. The concentration of test substance is determined which causes a doubling of the prothrombin time.

The thrombin time (TT) is determined in the presence of varying concentrations of test substance or the corresponding solvent with a commercially available test kit (Thrombin Reagent from Roche). The test compounds are incubated for 3 minutes at 37 ° C with the plasma. Subsequently, coagulation is triggered by adding the thrombin reagent and determines the time of coagulation. The concentration of test substance is determined which causes a doubling of the thrombin time.

The activated partial thromboplastin time (APTT) is determined in the presence of varying concentrations of test substance or the corresponding solvent with a commercially available test kit (PTT Reagent from Roche). The test compounds are incubated for 3 minutes at 37 ° C with the plasma and the PTT reagent (cephalin, kaolin). Subsequently, coagulation is triggered by addition of 25 mM CaCl ₂ and the time of coagulation is determined. The concentration of test substance is determined which causes a doubling of the APTT.

Thromboelastography (thromboelastogram)

The thromboelastography is performed with the help of the thromboelastograph ROTEM from Pentapharm and the associated accessories cup and pin. The measurement is in whole blood, which is previously taken in sodium citrate monovettes Sarstedt. The blood is kept in the monovettes using a shaker in motion and at 37 ⁰ C for 30 min. pre-incubated. For the measurement, 20 μl of CaCl ₂ solution from a 200 mM stock solution (diluted in 0.9% NaCl) are introduced into the cups (final concentration 12.5 mM). Add 3.2 μl of substance or solvent. The measurement is started by adding 300 μl of whole blood. After the addition, pipette up and down briefly with the pipette tip without creating any air bubbles. The measurement takes place over 2.5 hours or is stopped at the beginning of fibrinolysis. The following parameters are determined for the evaluation: CT (clotting time / [sec.]), CFT (clotting formation time / [sec.]), MCF (maximum clot firmness / [mm]) and the alpha angle [ ⁰ J. Die Measurement points are collected every 3 seconds and displayed graphically over the y-axis as MCF [mm] and on the x-axis as time [sec].

Arteriovenous Shunt and Bleeding Model (Combination Model Rat)

Fasting male rats (strain: HSD CPB: WU) weighing 300-350 g are anesthetized with inactin (150-180 mg / kg). Thrombus formation is induced in an arteriovenous shunt by the method of Christopher N. Berry et al., Br. J. Pharmacol. (1994), 113, 1209-1214. For this purpose, the left jugular vein and the right carotid artery are dissected free. An extracorporeal shunt is placed between the two vessels by means of a 10 cm long polyethylene tube (PE 60). This polyethylene tube is centered in another 3 cm polyethylene tube (PE 160), which includes a roughened and looped nylon thread to create a thrombogenic surface. The extracorporeal circuit is maintained for 15 minutes. Then the Shunt removed and the nylon thread with the thrombus weighed immediately. The net weight of the nylon thread was determined before the start of the test.

To determine the bleeding time immediately after opening the shunt circuit, the tail tip of the rats is catered for by 3 mm with a razor blade. The tail is placed in 37 ⁰ C tempered physiological saline and the bleeding from the incision wound observed over 15 minutes. The time to stop the bleeding for at least 30 seconds (initial bleeding time), the total bleeding time within 15 minutes (cumulative bleeding time) and the amount of blood loss via the photometric determination of the collected hemoglobin are determined.

The test substances are administered either intravenously via the contralateral jugular vein as a single bolus or as a bolus followed by continuous infusion or orally by means of a gavage, prior to application of the extracorporeal circuit and tail tip incision.
