English Abstract




Substituted sulfonamides having formula (I), are selective .beta.3 adrenergic
receptor agonists with very little .beta.1 and .beta.2 adrenergic receptor
activity and as such the compounds are capable of increasing lipolysis and
energy expenditure in cells. The compounds thus have potent activity in the
treatment of Type II diabetes and obesity. The compounds can also be used to
lower triglyceride levels and cholesterol levels or raise high density
lipoprotein levels or to decrease gut motility. In addition, the compounds can
be used to reduce neurogenic inflammation or as antidepressant agents. The
compounds are prepared by coupling an aminoalkylphenyl-sulfonamide with an
appropriately substituted epoxide. Compositions and methods for the use of the
compounds in the treatment of diabetes and obesity and for lowering
triglyceride levels and cholesterol levels or raising high density lipoprotein
levels or for increasing gut motility are also disclosed.


French Abstract

L'invention concerne des sulfamides substitués ayant la formule I. Ce sont des agonistes sélectifs vis-à-vis des récepteurs .beta.¿3?-adrénergiques avec très peu d'activité vis-à-vis des récepteurs .beta.¿1? et .beta.¿2?-adrénergiques. Par conséquent, ces composés sont capables d'augmenter la lipolyse et la consommation énergétique des cellules. Ces composés sont très efficaces pour le traitement du diabète juvénile et de l'obésité. Ces composés peuvent également être utilisés pour diminuer les niveaux des triglycérides et du cholestérol, pour augmenter la concentration des lipoprotéines de haute densité ou encore pour accélérer le transit intestinal. En plus ces composés peuvent être utilisés pour combattre les inflammations d'origine nerveuse ou comme antidépresseurs. On prépare ces composés en couplant un aminoalkylphényl sulfamide avec un époxyde portant un substituant approprié. On décrit également des compositions et les méthodes d'utilisation des composés dans le traitement du diabète et de l'obésité, pour diminuer les niveaux des triglycérides et du cholestérol, pour augmenter le niveau des lipoprotéines de haute densité ou encore pour accélérer le transit intestinal.

. TITLE OF THE INVENTION
SUBSTITUTED SULFONAMIDES AS SELECTIVE ~3 AGONISTS
. ~Y FOR THE TREATMENT OF DIABETES AND OBESITY
5 CROSS RFFERENCE
This is a c.~ illu~lion-in-part of co-pending application
U.S.S.N. 08/233,166 filed April 26, 1994, which is hereby incorporated
by reference in its entirety.
BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION
~ -Adrenoceptors have been ,~ c~ d as ~1 and ~2 since
1967. Increased heart rate is the primary congeq--~nl~e of ,131-receptor
stimulation, while brnn~hn~ tion and smooth muscle relaxation
typically result from ~2 stimlll~ltion Adipocyte lipolysis was initially
5 thought to be solely a ,~l-mediated process. However, more recent
results indicate that the receptor-mP~ tin~ lipolysis is atypical in
nature. These atypical receptors, later called ~3-adrenoceptors, are
found on the cell surface of both white and brown adipocytes where
their stimulation promotes both lipolysis (breakdown of fat) and energy
20 ~ rlont1ifl1re.
Early developments in this area produced c~ ")~,u-,ds with
greater agonist activity for the stimulation of lipolysis (,B3 activity) than
for stimulation of atrial rate (,~1) and tracheal relaxation (~2)- These
early developments disclosed in Ainsworth et al., U.S. Patents 4,478,849
and 4,396,627, were dGIiv~lLivGs of phenyl~th lnnl~min~g
Such sel~,Livi~y for ~3-adrenoceptors could make
;v",l,(Jul,d~ of this type potentially useful as antiobesity agents. In
addition, these C~JIII~OUIIdS have been reported to show
antil,y~G,~;ly~G",ic effects in animal models of non-insulin-dG~!G.IdGllL
3 diabetes mellitus.
A major drawback in treatment of chronic diseases with ,133
agonists is the potential for stimulation of other ~-receptors and
~"l,se~lllr"l side effects. The most likely of these include muscle tremor
(1~2) and increased heart rate (,~1)- Although these phenyleth~nnl~minf-

derivatives do possess some ~3 selectivity, side effects of this type have .
been observed in human volunteers. It is reasonable to expect that these
side effects resulted from partial ~1 and/or ~2 agonism. .,
More recent developments in this area are disclosed in
5Ainsworth et ~.~ U.~. Patent 5,153,210, Caulkett et al., U.S. Patent
4,999,377, Alig et al., U.S. Patent 5,017,619, Lecount et al., European
Patent 427480 and Bloom et 1, European Patent 455006.
Even though these more recent developments purport to
describe compounds with greater ~3 selectivity over the ¦31 and ,B2
activities, this sclc~livily was rlr~ cd using rodents, in particular,
rats as the test animal. Because even the most highly selective
compounds, as (1~l. . ",;". d by these assays, still show signs of side
effects due to residual ~1 and ,B2 agonist activity when the compounds
are tested in humans, it has become apparent that the rodent is not a
5good model for predicting human ~3 s~lc~livily.
Recently, assays have been developed which more
ac, u-dl~ly predict the effects that can be expected in humans. These
assays utilize cloned human ~3 receptors which have been expressed in
Chinese hamster ovary cells. See Emorine et al, Science, 1989,
2245:1118-1121; and Liggett, Mol. Pharmacol.. 1992, 42:634-637. The
agonist and antagonist effects of the various ~;UIII~JUUII~Lt on the
cultivated cells provide an inrlir~tion of the amtiobesity and ~nti~ hetir
effects of the ~ uul~ds in humans.

20 The sulfonyl chlorides 7, many of which are cullu~ i2illy
available, can also be readily prepared by a number of methods familiar
to those skilled in the art. One suitable method involves the addition of
an u~ lolillliulll reagent or a Grignard reagent to sulfuryl chloride
following the procedure of S. N. Bhattacharya, et. al., J. Chem. Soc.
25 (C), 1265-1267 (1969). Another convenient method involves the
treatment of a thiol with sulfuryl chloride and a metal nitrate according
to the procedure of Y. J. Park, et. al., Chemistry Letters, 1483-1486
(1992). Sulfonic acids are also conveniently converted to the
corresponding sulfonyl chloride by treatment with PC15, PC13 or SOC12
30 (J. March, Advanced Ore~ni~ (~hlomi~try~ 4th Ed., John Wiley and Sons,
New York: 1992, pl297 and references sited therein). Aromatic and

The diamines 5 are commercially available or readily
prepared by methods described in the literature or known to those
skilled in the art. Compound 5 where R2 or R3 is methyl can be
prepared from the co~ onding amino acid following the method of J.
D. Bloom, et. al., J. Med. Chem., 35, 3081-3084 (1992). As illustrated
in Scheme 5 for R3 = methyl, the a~lup.i~ (R) amino acid 12 is
cst~rifie-1 conveniently by treatment with methanolic hydrochloric acid,
and then treated with di-tert-butyl dicarbonate to give compound 13.
The ester group is reduced with a hydride source such as lithium
o borohydride and the resultant alcohol is converted to a leaving group
such as a mesylate. Removal of the Boc protecting groups gives
diamine 14. This compound is subjected to catalytic hydrogenation in
the presence of base such as sodium acetate to give the desired o~-methyl
amine 15. The other ~n~ntinmf-r is available through an analogous
sequence starting with the corresponding (S) amino acid.

30 such as potassium carbonate to give chloro derivative 17. The chloride
is converted to the COll~ ulldillg amine by treatment with lithium azide
followed by reduction with, for example, kiphenylph~srhinp in aqueous
tekahydrofuran. Protection of the resultant amine, conveniently as its
t-butyl ~ by keatment with di-tert-butyldicarbonate, gives
derivative 18. The nitro group is then reduced, for example, by

Tntf nn~ t.os Il and III are coupled by heating them neat
or as a solution in a polar solvent such as methanol, ?,~etonitrilt~,
tetrahydrofuran, dimethylsulfoxide or N-methyl pyrrolidinone for 1 to
24 hours at l~ aiulc;s of 30 to 150C to provide compounds I as
shown in Scheme 8. The reaction is conveniently conducted in
refluxing methanol. Alternatively, a salt of amine III, such as the
trifluo.~,ac~,Lat~ or hydrochloride salt, may be used. In these cases, a
base such as sodium bicarbonate or diethylisopropylamine is added to
the reaction mixture. The product is purified from unwanted side
products by recrystallization, trituration, lJIC~udtiV~ thin layer
5 chromatography, flash chromatography on silica gel as described by W.
C. Still, et. ~., J. Org. Chem. 43. 2923 (1978), medium pressure liquid

In some cases, the coupling product I from the reaction
described in Scheme 8 may be further modified, for example, by the
removal of protecting groups or the manipulation of ~ on, in
particular, Rl and R7. These manipulations may include, but are not
limited to, reduction, o~ AAtiO~ alkylation, acylation, and hydrolysis
reactions which are commonly known to those skilled in the art.
An alternate method for the synthesis of compound I is
illustrated in Scheme 9. Epoxide II is coupled to amine 5 as described
above for coupling ill~ ,,.f~llA . ~ II and III (Scheme 8) to giYe aniline
d~.liv~livt; ~Z. The secondary amine is selectively protected, for
example, as a carbamate by treatrnent with di-tert-butyldicarbonate to
provide C~llb~ 2. Alternatively, nitro amine 26 is used in the
coupling reaction to provide 28. Following protection as described
above, the nitro group is reduced, for example, by catalytic
hydrogenation with pAAllArli~ catalyst or raney nickel, to provide
i"l~ . ,,,f,liAIf. 29. In some cases, other group may be reduced
con~;ullliL~l~ly. For example, if Rl is halogen in intermediate 28, it may

chloride in the presence of a base such as pyridine followed by removal
of the protecting group with, in the case of a tert-butylcarbamate, acid
such as trifluoroacetic acid or mt-th~noli~ hydrogen chloride, provides

An alternate synthesis of key intPrm~ t~ 29 is shown is
Scheme 12. The alcohol of i~ ~t~ 3 is protected, for examp~e, as
its t-butyldimethylsilyl ether to give ll~S derivative 33. This compound
is then treated with amine 5 and a base such as diisopropylethylamine in
a solvent, typically polar aprotic such as ~c~tnnifril~, at temperatures of

sodium iodide is added to facilitate the reaction. The protecting group
is then removed, in the case of silyl ether, by treatment of the resultant
amine 34 with a fluoride source such as tetrabutylammonium fluoride.

Compounds of the general Formula I may be separated into
;lia~ oi~ ic pairs of enantiomers by, for example, fractional
crystallization from a suitable solvent, for exarnple methanol or ethyl
acetate or a mixture thereof. The pair of enantiomers thus obtained

~0 95129159 2 ~ 8 ~ 9 3 2 ~ 5~
- 43 -
. may be separated into individual sterer~ig~mer.s by conventional means,
for example by the use of an optically active acid as a resolving agent.
.. Alternatively, any enantiomer of a compound of the
general Formula I may be obtained by stereospecific synthesis using
5 optically pure starting materials of known configuration.
The instant compounds can be isolated in the form of their
. rlllirRlly acceptable acid addition salts, such as the salts derived
from using inorganic and organic acids. Examples of such acids are
hydrochloric, nitric, sulfuric, phosphoric, formic, acetic
trifluoroacetic, propionic, maleic, succinic, malonic and the like. In
addition, certain COIII1JOUIId~ contRinin~ an acidic function such as a
carboxy or tetrazole, can be isolated in the form of their inorganic salt
in which the counterion can be selected from sodium, pot~iulll,
lithium, calcium, Il~ l and the like, as well as from organic bases.
As previously inAirRt~.A the compounds of the present
invention have valuable rhRrmRr~logirRl properties.
The present invention also provides a compound of the
general Formula I or a pl~ UI;r Rlly acceptable salt thereof for use
as an active Ill. .,.l.~.l~;r sllhgtRnrr
In one aspect, the present invention provides a compound
of the general Formula I or a 1~ ;rRlly acceptable ester thereof:
or a rhRrmRrelltirRlly acceptable salt thereof for use in the treatment of
obesity in human or non-human animals.
The present invention further provides a cu---~Jou--d of the
general Formula I, or a l,llR.lll~.-rlll;~RIly acceptable ester thereof; or
;eRlly acceptable salt thereof, for use in the treatment of
hyperglycemia (diabetes) in human or non-human animals.
The disease diabetes mellitus is ~ ala~,t~ ,d by metabolic
defects in production and utilization of glucose which result in the
30 failure to maintain appropriate blood sugar levels. The result of these
defects is elevated blood glucose or hyperglycemia. Research on the
treatment of diabetes has centered on attempts to nr)rrnRli7e fasting and
pr~ 1 blood glucose levels. Tl~,a~ b have included parenteral

WO 95129159 I ~ ,,.,.'C I~S6

- 44 -
administration of exogenous insulin, oral administration of drugs and
dietary therapies.
Two major forms of diabetes mellitus are now recognized.
Type I diabetes, or insulin~ .p~.n(l~nt diabetes, is the result of an
5 absolute deficiency of insulin, the hormone which regulates glucose
lltili7~tic)n. Type II diabetes, or insulin-independent diabetes, often
occurs in the face of normal, or even elevated levels of insulin and
appears to be the result of the inability of tissues to respond
ul~liat~ly to insulin. Most of the Type II diabetics are also obese.
In addition the ~,u~ uulld~ of the present invention lower
triglyceride levels and cholesterol levels and raise high density
i~U~lUlCill levels and are therefore of use in cOIll~à~lillg medical
conditions wherein such lowering (and raising) is thought to be
beneficial. Thus they may be used in the treatment of hyper-
5 triglycP.ri~ mi~ hypercholesterolaemia and conditions of low HDL(high density li~u~u~ill) levels in addition to the treatment of
uscl~lu~ic disease such as of coronary, cerebrovascular and
peripheral arteries, cardiovascular disease and related conditions.
A-,~u~dil~ly, in another aspect the present invention
20 provides a method of lowering triglyceride and/or cholesterol levels
and/or increasing high density li~u~,~u~ill levels which .. " . ,1-, ;c~s
~Amini~t~orjn~, to an animal in need thereof, a ~ ui~ y effective
amount of a compound of the formula (I) or pharrn~e--ti~lly
acceptable salt thereof. In a further aspect the present invention
25 provides a method of treating atherosclerosis which comprises
~minict~rin~, to an animal in need thereof; a th~r~relltirsllly effective
amount of a compound of the formula (I) or phzlrmsl~ellti~ y
acceptable salt thereof. The compositions are formlllAtPd and
:~11mini~t~-.red in the same general manner as detailed below for treating
3 diabetes and obesity. They may also contain other active ingredients
known for use in the treatrnent of atherosclerosis and related conditions,
for example fibrates such as clofibrate, bezafibrate and gemfibrozil;
inhibitors of cholesterol biosynthesis such as HMG-CoA reductase
inhibitors for example lovastatin, ~ lva~la~ and pravastatin; inhibitors

WO 95/291!i9 P~ 'C 19~i6

of cholesterol absorption for example beta-sitosterol and (acyl
CoA:cholesterol a~yl~ldll~r~lase) inhibitors for example mrlin~mi~if;
anion exchange resins for example cholestyramine, colestipol or a
dialkyl~mino~lkyl derivatives of a cross-linKed dextran; nicotinyl
5 alcohol, nicotinic acid or a salt thereof; vitamin E; and thyromimetics.
The compounds of the instant invention also have the effect
of reducing intestinal motility and thus find utility as aiding in the
treatment of various ga~Lluill~e~i"al disorders such as irritable bowel
syndrome. It has been proposed that the motility of non-grhinrt~ric
smooth muscle contraction is mediated by activity at ,~3
adrenu.~cc;~ol~. The availability of a ~3 specific agonist, with little
activity at ~1 and ~2 receptors will assist in the plldlllla~OlOgiC control
of intestinal motility without concurrent cardiovascular effects. The
instant compounds are ~(l,,,i,,i~l~ .~d generally as described below with
5 dosages similar to those used for the treatment of diabetes and obesity.
It has also been found Illlr,~llç~ r11y that the compounds
which act as agonists at J33 ~l~ Olt~ Ul~i may be useful in the
treatment of ~5d~ i"lr,li"~l disorders, especially peptic ulcerations,
~su~ha~i~is, gastritis and duodenitis, (including that induced by ~.
20 ~Ls~, intestinal Illrrr~tionc (including i~ y bowel disease,
ulcerative colitis, Crohn's disease and proctitis) and ~ Lluill~ ldl
Illrrr~tir,ng
In addition, ~3 receptors have been indicated to have an
effect on the inhibition of the release of n~ulu~ ides in certain sensory
25 fibers in the lung. As sensory nerves may play an illlllOl~dll~ role in the
nt;ulu~ ic infl~mm~tion of airways, including cough, the instant
specific ,B3 agonists may be useful in the treatment of neurogenetic
il~ll,.""",.lion, such as asthma, with minimal effects on the cardio-
~UllllUllaly system.
,B3 al.~ o.c;c~ u.~ are also able to produce selective
antid~ d..L effects by stimlll~tin~ the ~3 receptors in the brain and
thus arl additional ~-)"lr."l.l,.lrd utility of the uu---lJou--ds of this
invention are as antid~ s~a.ll agents.

A solution of 5 g of 4-aminophenethyl alcohol in 50 mL of
DMF was silylated with 5.5 g of t-butyldimethylsilyl chloride (TBDMS-
5 Cl) and 2.5 g of imidazole overnight at room ~ alulc. Extractionof the product following an aqueous ~mmonillm chloride workup
afforded 6.6 g of the O-TBDMS ether. This aniline derivative was then
coupled to bl~n7tont sl~lfonyl chloride in pyridine-dichlololll.,lllalle to
give the sulfonamide in greater than gO% yield after chromatographic
purification. The TBDMS group of the sulfonamide was removed with
methanolic HCI at room t~ lalul~; for 30 min. The crude alcohol was
oxidized to the corresponding carboxylic acid with Jones reagent in
acetone (RT 30 min, ethyl acetate extraction).
