Description

NOVEL COMPOUNDS
The present invention relates to substituted phenoxyacetic acids as useful pharmaceutical compounds for treating respiratory disorders, pharmaceutical compositions containing them, and processes for their preparation.
EPA 1 170 594 discloses methods for the identification of compounds useful for the treatment of disease states mediated by prostaglandin D2, a ligand for orphan receptor CRTH2. GB 1356834 discloses a series of compounds said to possess anti-inflammatory, analgesic and antipyretic activity. It has been found that certain phenoxyacetic acids are active at the CRTH2 receptor, and as a consequence are expected to be potentially useful for the treatment of various respiratory diseases, including asthma and COPD.
In a first aspect the invention therefore provides a compound of formula (I) or a pharmaceutically acceptable salt or solvate thereof:

The protection and deprotection of functional groups is fully described in 'Protective Groups in Organic Chemistry', edited by J. W. F. McOrnie, Plenum Press (1973), and 'Protective Groups in Organic Synthesis', 3rd edition, T. W. Greene & P. G. M. Wuts, Wiley-Interscience (1999).
Compounds of formula (I) can be prepared by reaction of a compound of formula (II):

L-CRxR2C02R12 (HI)
Where R 1 and R9 are as defined in formula (I) or are protected derivatives thereof, R 19 is H or C Cio alkyl group and L is a leaving group, and optionally thereafter in any order:
• removing any protecting group
• hydrolysing the ester group R 1 to the corresponding acid o oxidation of sulphides to sulphoxides or sulphones o forming a pharmaceutically acceptable salt.
The reaction can be carried out in a suitable solvent such as DMF using a base such as potassium carbonate or the like. Suitable groups R12 include -6 alkyl groups such as methyl, ethyl or tert-butyl. Suitable L is a leaving group such as halo, in particular chlorine or bromine. L may also be hydroxy so that a Mitsunobu reaction may be performed with compound (H) using for example triphenylphosphine and diethyl azodicarboxylate.
Hydrolysis of the ester group R12 can be carried out using routine procedures, for example treatment of methyl and ethyl esters with aqueous sodium hydroxide, and treatment of tert-butyl esters with acids such as trifluoroacetic acid.
Compounds of formula (LI) can be prepared by reaction of a compound of formula (IV) with a compound of formula (V) via a Suzuki coupling reaction followed by deprotection of group R13 when R13 is not equal to H :

Depending on the mode of administration, the pharmaceutical composition will preferably comprise from 0.05 to 99 %w (per cent by weight), more preferably from 0.05 to 80 %w, still more preferably from 0.10 to 70 %w, and even more preferably from 0.10 to 50 %w, ... of active ingredient, all percentages by weight being based on total composition.
The present invention also provides a pharmaceutical composition comprising a compound of formula (I), or a pharmaceutically acceptable salt or solvate thereof, as herein before defined, in association with a pharmaceutically acceptable adjuvant, diluent or carrier.
The pharmaceutical compositions may be administered topically (e.g. to the lung and/or airways or to the skin) in the form of solutions, suspensions, heptafluoroalkane aerosols and dry powder formulations; or systemically, e.g. by oral administration in the form of tablets, capsules, syrups, powders or granules, or by parenteral administration in the form of solutions or suspensions, or by subcutaneous administration or by rectal administration in the form of suppositories or transdermally. Preferably the compound of the invention is administered orally.
The invention will now be illustrated by the following non-limiting examples in which, unless stated otherwise:
(i) when given, 1H NMR data is quoted in the form of delta values for major diagnostic protons, given in parts per million (ppm) relative to tetramethylsilane (TMS) as an internal standard; (ii) mass spectra (MS): generally only ions which indicate the parent mass are reported, and unless otherwise stated the mass ion quoted is the positive mass ion - (M+H)+;
(iii) the title compounds of the examples and methods were named using the ACD/name and ACD/name batch (version 6.0) from Advanced Chemical Development Lie, Canada;
(iv) unless stated otherwise, reverse phase HPLC was conducted using a Symmetry, NovaPak or Ex-Terra reverse phase silica column; (v) solvents were dried with MgSO or Na2SO4 (vi) the following abbreviations are used:

Pharmacological Data
Ligand Binding Assay
[3H]PGD2 was purchased from Perkin Elmer Life Sciences with a specific activity of 100- 210Ci/mmol. All other chemicals were of analytical grade.
HEK cells expressing rhCRTh2 / G l6 were routinely maintained in DMEM containing 10% Foetal Bovine Serum (HyClone), lmg/ml geneticin, 2mM L-glutamine and 1% non- essential amino acids. For the preparation of membranes, the adherent transfected HEKcells were grown to confluence in two layer tissue culture factories (Fisher, catalogue number TKT-170-070E). Maximal levels of receptor expression were induced by addition of 500mM sodium butyrate for the last 18 hours of culture. The adherent cells were washed once with phosphate buffered saline (PBS, 50ml per cell factory) and detached by the addition of 50ml per cell factory of ice-cold membrane homogenisation buffer [20mM HEPES (pH 7.4), 0. lmM dithiothreitol, lmM EDTA, 0. lmM phenyl methyl sulphonyl fluoride and lOOμg/ml bacitracin]. Cells were pelleted by centrifugation at 220xg for 10 minutes at 4°C, re-suspended in half the original volume of fresh membrane homogenisation buffer and disrupted using a Polytron homogeniser for 2 x 20 second bursts keeping the tube in ice at all times. Unbroken cells were removed by centrifugation at 220xg for 10 minutes at 4°C and the membrane fraction pelleted by centrifugation at 90000xg for 30 minutes at 4°C. The final pellet was re-suspended in 4 ml of membrane homogenisation buffer per cell factory used and the protein content determined. Membranes were stored at -80°C in suitable aliquots.
All assays were performed in Corning clear bottomed, white 96-well NBS plates (Fisher). Prior to assay, the HEK cells membranes containing CRTh2 were coated onto SPA PVT WGA beads (Amersham). For coating membranes were incubated with beads at typically 25 μg membrane protein per mg beads at 4°C with constant agitation overnight. (The optimum coating concentrations were determined for each batch of membranes) The beads were pelleted by centrifugation (800xg for 7minutes at 4°C), washed once with assay buffer (50mM HEPES pH 7.4 containing 5mM magnesium chloride) and finally resuspended in assay buffer at a bead concentration of lOmg/ml.
Each assay contained 20μl of 6.25nM [3H]PGD2, 20μl membrane saturated SPA beads both in assay buffer and lOμl of compound solution or 13,14-dihydro-15-keto prostaglandin D (DK-PGD2, for determination of non-specific binding, Cayman chemical company). Compounds and DK-PGD2 were dissolved in DMSO and diluted in the same solvent to lOOx the required final concentration. Assay buffer was added to give a final concentration of 10% DMSO (compounds were now at lOx the required final concentration) and this was the solution added to the assay plate. The assay plate was incubated at room temperature for 2 hours and counted on a Wallac Microbeta liquid scintillation counter (1 minute per well).
Compounds of formula (I) have an IC50 value of less than (<) lOμM. Specifically, example 9 has a pICso = 7.4, example 25 has a pICso = 8.0, and example 133 has a pIC5o = 8.2.
