Description



FIELD OF THE INVENTION

This invention relates to pyridoxine phosphonate analogues, to pyridoxine malonate analogues, to their preparation, to pharmaceutical compositions thereof, and to treatments for cardiovascular and related diseases, for example, hypertrophy, hypertension, congestive heart failure, myocardial ischemia, arrhythmia, heart failure subsequent to myocardial infarction, myocardial infarction, ischemia reperfusion injury, and diseases that arise from thrombotic and prothrombotic states in which the coagulation cascade is activated; and treatments for diabetes mellitus and related diseases, for example, hyperinsulinemia, diabetes-induced hypertension, obesity, insulin resistance, and damage to blood vessels, eyes, kidneys, nerves, autonomic nervous system, skin connective tissue, or immune system.

BACKGROUND

Pyridoxal-5'-phosphate (PLP), an end product of vitamin B.sub.6 metabolism, plays a vital role in mammalian health. In previous patents (U.S. Pat. No. 6,051,587 and U.S. Pat. No. 6,043,259, herein incorporated by reference) the role of pyridoxal-5'-phosphate, and its precursors pyridoxal and pyridoxine (vitamin B.sub.6), in mediating cardiovascular health and in treating cardiovascular related diseases is disclosed.

The major degradation pathway for pyridoxal-5'-phosphate in vivo is the conversion to pyridoxal, catalysed by alkaline phosphatase. Thus, there is a need to identify and administer drugs that are functionally similar to pyridoxal-5'-phosphate such as pyridoxine phosphonate analogues or pyridoxine malonate analogues, that elicit similar or enhanced cardiovascular benefits, and that beneficially affect PLP-related conditions, but are stable to degradation by phosphatase.

SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION

The present invention provides for pyridoxine phosphonate analogues and to pyridoxine malonates. In one aspect, the present invention includes a compound of formula I: ##STR1##

It is to be understood that all numbers and fractions thereof are presumed to be modified by the term "about." It is to be understood that "a," "an," and "the" include plural referents unless the content clearly dictates otherwise. Thus, for example, reference to a composition containing "a compound" includes a mixture of two or more compounds.

It is to be understood that some of the compounds described herein contain one or more asymmetric centers and may thus give rise to enantiomers, diasteriomers, and other stereoisomeric forms which may be defined in terms of absolute stereochemistry as (R)-- or (S)--. The present invention is meant to include all such possible diasteriomers and enantiomers as well as their racemic and optically pure forms. Optically active (R)-- and (S)-- isomers may be prepared using chiral synthons or chiral reagents, or resolved using conventional techniques. When the compounds described herein contain olefinic double bonds or other centers of geometric asymmetry, and unless specified otherwise, it is intended that the compounds include both E and A geometric isomers. Likewise all tautomeric forms are intended to be included.

The general definitions used herein have the following meanings within the scope of the present invention.

As used herein the term "alkyl" includes a straight or branched saturated aliphatic hydrocarbon redicals, such as, for example, methyl, ethyl, propyl, isopropyl (1-methylethyl), ##STR5##

butyl, tert-butyl (1,1-dimethylethyl), and the like.

As used herein the term "alkoxy" refers to --O-alkyl with alkyl as defined above. Alkoxy groups include those with 1 to 4 carbon atoms in a straight or branched chain, such as, for example, methoxy, ethoxy, propoxy, isopropoxy (1-methylethoxy), butoxy, tert-butoxy (1,1-dimethylethoxy), and the like.

As used herein the term "aryl" refers to unsaturated aromatic carbocyclic radicals having a single ring, such as phenyl, or multiple condensed rings, such as naphthyl or anthryl. The term "aryl" also includes substituted aryl comprising aryl substituted on a ring by, for example, C.sub.1-4 alkyl, C.sub.1-4 alkoxy, amino, hydroxy, phenyl, nitro, halo, carboxyalkyl or alkanoyloxy. Aryl groups include, for example, phenyl, naphthyl, anthryl, biphenyl, methoxyphenyl, halophenyl, and the like.

As used herein the term "alkylamino" refers to --N-alkyl with alkyl as defined above. Alkylamino groups include those with 1-6 carbons in a straight or branched chain, such as, for example, methylamino, ethylamino, propylamino, and the like.

As used herein the term "arylamino" refers to --N-aryl with aryl as defined above. Arylamino includes --NH-phenyl, --NH-biphenyl, --NH-4-methoxyphenyl, and the like.

As used herein the term "aralkyl" refers to an aryl radical defined as above substituted with an alkyl radical as defined above (e.g. aryl-alkyl-). Aralkyl groups include, for example, phenethyl, benzyl, and naphthylmethyl.

As used herein the term "halo" includes bromo, chloro, and fluoro. Preferably halo is fluoro.

As used herein the term "alkylcarbonyloxy" includes alkyl as defined above bonded to carbonyl bonded to oxygen, such as, for example, acetate, propionate and t-butylcarbonyloxy.

Cardiovascular and related diseases include, for example, hypertension, hypertrophy, congestive heart failure, heart failure subsequent to myocardial infarction, arrhythmia, myocardial ischemia, myocardial infarction, ischemia reperfusion injury, and diseases that arise from thrombotic and prothrombotic states in which the coagulation cascade is activated.

Heart failure is a pathophysiological condition in which the heart is unable to pump blood at a rate commensurate with the requirement of the metabolizing tissues or can do so only from an elevated filling pressure (increased load). Thus, the heart has a diminished ability to keep up with its workload. Over time, this condition leads to excess fluid accumulation, such as peripheral edema, and is referred to as congestive heart failure.

When an excessive pressure or volume load is imposed on a ventricle, myocardial hypertrophy (i.e., enlargement of the heart muscle) develops as a compensatory mechanism. Hypertrophy permits the ventricle to sustain an increased load because the heart muscle can contract with greater force. However, a ventricle subjected to an abnormally elevated load for a prolonged period eventually fails to sustain an increased load despite the presence of ventricular hypertrophy, and pump failure can ultimately occur.

Heart failure can arise from any disease that affects the heart and interferes with circulation. For example, a disease that increases the heart muscle's workload, such as hypertension, will eventually weaken the force of the heart's contraction. Hypertension is a condition in which there is an increase in resistance to blood flow through the vascular system. This resistance leads to increases in systolic and/or diastolic blood pressures. Hypertension places increased tension on the left ventricular myocardium, causing it to stiffen and hypertrophy, and accelerates the development of atherosclerosis in the coronary arteries. The combination of increased demand and lessened supply increases the likelihood of myocardial ischemia leading to myocardial infarction, sudden death, arrhythmias, and congestive heart failure.

Ischemia is a condition in which an organ or a part of the body fails to receive a sufficient blood supply. When an organ is deprived of a blood supply, it is said to be hypoxic. An organ will become hypoxic even when the blood supply temporarily ceases, such as during a surgical procedure or during temporary artery blockage. Ischemia initially leads to a decrease in or loss of contractile activity. When the organ affected is the heart, this condition is known as myocardial ischemia, and myocardial isehemia initially leads to abnormal electrical activity. This can generate an arrhythmia. When myocardial isehemia is of sufficient severity and duration, cell injury can progress to cell death--i.e., myocardial infarction--and subsequently to heart failure, hypertrophy, or congestive heart failure.

When blood flow resumes to an organ after temporary cessation, this is known as ischemic reperfusion of the organ. For example, reperfusion of an ischemic myocardium can counter the effects of coronary occlusion, a condition that leads to myocardial ischemia. Ischemic reperfusion to the myocardium can lead to reperfusion arrhythmia or reperfusion injury. The severity of reperfusion injury is affected by numerous factors, such as, for example, duration of ischemia, severity of ischemia, and speed of reperfusion. Conditions observed with ischemia reperfusion injury include neutrophil infiltration, necrosis, and apoptosis.

Drug therapies, using known active ingredients such as vasodilators, angiotensin II receptor antagonists, angiotensin converting enzyme inhibitors, diuretics, antithrombolytic agents, .alpha. or .beta.-adrenergic receptor antagonists, .alpha.-adrenergic receptor antagonists, calcium channel blockers, and the like, are available for treating cardiovascular and related diseases.

Diabetes mellitus and related diseases include hyperinsulinemia, insulin resistance, obesity, diabetes-induced hypertension, and damage to blood vessels, eyes, kidneys, nerves, autonomic nervous system, skin, connective tissue, and immune system. Diabetes mellitus is a condition in which blood glucose levels are abnormally high because the body is unable to produce enough insulin to maintain normal blood glucose levels or is unable to adequately respond to the insulin produced. Insulin-dependent diabetes mellitus (often referred to as type I diabetes) arises when the body produces little or no insulin. About 10% of all diabetics have type I diabetes. Noninsulin-dependent diabetes mellitus (often referred to as type II diabetes) arises when the body cannot adequately respond to the insulin that is produced in response to blood glucose levels.

Available treatments include weight control, exercise, diet, and drug therapy. Drug therapy for type I diabetes mellitus requires the administration of insulin; however, drug therapy for type II diabetes mellitus usually involves the administration of insulin and/or oral hypoglycemic drugs to lower blood glucose levels. If the oral hypoglycemic drugs fail to control blood sugar, then insulin, either alone or concurrently with the hypoglycemic drugs, will usually be administered.

The invention is generally directed to pyridoxine phosphonate analogues such as, for example, ((2-methyl-3-hydroxy-4-hydroxymethyl-5-pyridyl)alkylphosphonates, (2-methyl-3-hydroxy-4-hydroxymethyl-5-pyridyl)azaalkylphosphonates) and to pyridoxine malonate analogues such as, for example, ((2-methyl-3-hydroxy-4-hydroxymethyl-5-pyridylmethyl)malonates), compositions including these analogues, and methods of administering pharmaceutical compositions containing a therapeutically effective amount of at least one of these analogues to treat cardiovascular and related diseases or diabetes and related diseases.

To enhance absorption from the digestive tract and across biological membranes, polar groups on a drug molecule can be blocked with lipophilic functions that will be enzymatically cleaved off from the drug after absorption into the circulatory system. Lipophilic moieties can also improve site-specificity and biovailability of the drug. The speed at which the blocking groups are removed can be used to control the rate at which the drug is released. The blocking of polar groups on the drug can also slow first-pass metabolism and excretion. An ester is a common blocking group that is readily hydrolyzed from the drug by endogenous esterases.
