NEW ~3-AMIDE AND L3-SULFONAMIDE CARBOXYLIC ACID
DERIVATIVES. THEIR PREPARATION AND THEIR USE AS
ENDOTHELIN RECEPTOR ANTAGONISTS
The present invention relates to novel carboxylic acid
derivatives, their preparation and use.
Endothelia is a peptide which is composed of 21 amino acids and
is synthesized and released by vascular endothelium. Endothelia
exists is three isoforms, ET-1, ET-Z and ET-3. "Endothelia" or
"ET" hereinafter refers to one or all isoforms of endothelia.
Endothelia is a potent vasoccnstzictor and has a strong effect on
vessel tone. It is known that this vasoconst=fiction is caused by
binding of endothelia to its receptor (Nature, ~, 411-415,
1988; FEeS Letters,~23 , 440-444, 19A8 and 8iochem. eiophys. Res.
Coauuun . . 1~. 8 6 B-8 7 5 . 19 8 A ) .
Elevated or abnormal release of endothelia causes persistent
vasoconstriction in peripheral. serial and cerebral blood vessels,
which may result in disotders. As reported in the literature,
errdothelin is involved in a number of disorders. These include:
hypertension, acute myocardial-infarct, pulte~onary hyper-
tension, Raynaud's syndrome, cerebral vasospasms, stroke, benign
prostate hypertrophy, atherosclerosis. asthma and prostate cancer
(J.~vaseular-.Med. Biology 2, 207 (1990), J. Am. Med. Associat3.on
264, 2868 (1990), lvature 344, 114 (1990), N. Engl. J. Med. 32~,
ZOS (1989), !'. Engl. J. Med. ,~28. 1732 (1993), Nephron 6~, 373
(1994), Stroke ~5_, 904 (1999), Nature ~, 759 (1993), J. Mol.
Cell. Cazdiol. Z7, A239 (1995); Cancer Research 56, 663 (1996),
Nature Medicine 1, 944,(1995)).
At least two endothelia receptor subtypes, ~T, and ETa receptors,
are curreatly,described in the literature (Nature ~$, 730
(1990), Nature 348, 732 (1990)). Accordingly, substance8 trhich
inhibit tlse binding of endothelia to one or both receptors ought
to antagonize the physiological effects of endothelia and
therefore represent valuable drugs.
DE 19726146.9 describes the preparation of l3-amino and !i-azido
carboxylic acid derivatives and their use as endothelia receptor
antagonists. Further investigation has revealed that related
aromatic carboxamides and sulfonamide derivatives have
advantageous properties in relation to receptor affinity and
receptor binding profile. The present patent relates to the
preparation and use the=eof.

Compounds of the formula v= are known, and some of them can be
bought or they can be prepared in a generally known manner.
zf al in compounds of the general formula Ia is an ester, the
ester group can be cleaved with acid or base or by hydrogenolysis
to give the free carboxylic acids with R1 ~ COOH. Compounds of the
type Ia with Ri = C008 can, however, also be obtained directly by
dep=vtonating the intermediate V in which R1 = COON with three
equivalents of a suitablQ base and reacting with compounds of the
general formula VI. Once again, the reaction cakes place in an
inert solvent and at a temperature in the range from room
temperature to the boiling point of the solveat.
The base which caa be used is an alkali metal or alkaline earth
metal hydride such as sodium hydride, potassium hydride or
calcium hydride, a carbonate such as alkali metal carbonate, e.g.
sodium or potassium carbonate, an alkali metal or alkaline earth
metal hydroxide such as sodium or potassium hydroxide, an
orgaaou~etallic~compouad such as butyllithium or an alkali metal
amide such as lithium diisopropylamide or lithium amide.

general formula VII and are prepared as described in DE

Compounds o! the formula I caa also be prepared by startiDg front
the appropriate carboxylic acids, i.e. compounds of the formula I
in which Ri is COON, first converting them in a conventional way
in an activated form, such as an acid halide, anhydride ar
imidazolide, and then reacting the latter orith a~ appropriate
hydro~cyl compound HOR6 oz sulfonamide BiNSO2Re . This reaction can
be carried out in conventional solvents and often requites the
addition of a base, in which case those mentioned above are
suitable. These two steps can also be simplified, for example, by
allowing the carboxylic acid to act in the presence of a
dehydrating agent such as a carbodiimide on the hydroxyl compound
or the sulfonamide.

It is additionally possible to prepare compounds of the formula I
by starting from the salts of the appropriate carboxylic acids,
i.e, from compounds of the formula I in' which R1 is a group Coots,
where H can be an alkali metal cation or the equivalent of an
S alkaline earth metal cation_ These salts can be reacted With many
' compounds of the formula R-D where D is a conventional
nucleofugie leaving group, for example halogen such as chlorine,
bromine, iodine or optioeally halogen-, alkyl- or
haloalkyl-substituted aryl- or alkylsulfonyl .such as
toluenesulfonyl aid methylsulfoeyl or another equivalent leaving
group. Compounds of the formula R-D with a reactive substituent D
are known or can easily be obtained with general expert
knowledge. This reaction can be carried out in the conventional
solvents and is advantageously performed in the presence of a
base, in erhich case those mentioned above are suitable.
~ompouads of the forinula I in which Rt is tetrazolyl can be
prepared according to the methods described is WO 96/11914 from
the corresponding carboxylic acids (formula I with R1 ~ COOH).
Z0
In some cases, it is necessary to use generally knocan protective
group techniques to prepare the compounds I according to the
invention. If, for exaa~le. R4RSN = 9-8o-phenyl-CONS-, the
hydroxyl group can initially be protected as benzyl ether, which
is then cleaved az a suitable stage in the reaction sequence.
Compounds of the formula I and v can be obtained in
enantiornerically pure form by carrying out a classical raeersate
resolution ~rith suitable enantiomerically pure bases, such as
those described in wo 96/11914, ~rith racemic or diastereomeric
compounds of the formula I and v.

Testing of ET antagonists in vivo:
Male SD tats weighing 250 - 300 g were anesthetized with
amobarbital, artificially ventilated, vagotomized and pithed_ The
carotid artery and jugular vein were cathezeri2ed.
In control animals, intravenous administzation of 1 mglk9 ETl
results in a marked rise in blood pressure r,~hich persists for a
lengthy period.

CA 02355251 2001-06-13
The test animals received i_v. injection (1 ml/kg) of the test
compounds 30 min before administration of ET1. To determine the
ET-antagonistic properties, the changes in blood pressure in the
test animals were compared with those in the control animals.

' Oral testing of ET receptor antagonists:
Male narmotensive tats (Sprague Dawlcy, Janvier) Weighing
250-350 g axe pretreated with the test substances orally. 80
l0 minutes later, the animals are anesthetized with urethane, and
the carotid artery (for measuring the blood pressure)~and the
jugular vein (administration of big endothelin/.endothelin 1) are
catheterized.
15 After a stabilization period, big endothelin (z0 (tg/kg, admin.
vol. 0.5 ml/kg) or ET1 (0.3 ~.g/kg, admin. vol. 0.5 atl/kg) is given
intravenously. Blood pressure and heart rate are recorded
continuously for 30 minutes. The marked and long-lasting changes
in blood pressure are calculated as the area under the curve
ZO (AQC). To detereu.ne the antagonistic effect of the test
substances, the ADC for the animals treated with substance is
compared with the AUC for the control animals.
Tre novel compounds can be admiriistered orally or parenterally
Z5 (subcutaneously, intravenously. intramuscularly,
intraperitoneally) in a conventional way. Administration can also
tekg place orith vapors or sprays tbrough the nasvpharyngesl
space.
The .dosage depends on the age, condition and weight of th~
patient and on the mode of administration. As a rule, the daily
dose of active ingredient is from about 0.5 to 50 mglkg of body
weight on oral administration and from about 0.1 to 10 tng/kg of
body weight art parenteral administration.
The novel compounds can be administered in conventional solid or
liquid pharmaceutical form" eg. as uneoated or (film-)coated
tablets, capsules, powders, granules, suppositories, solutions,
ointments, creams or sprays. These are produced in a conventional
way. The active ingredients can for this purpose be processed
with conventional pharmaceutical aids such as tablet binders,
bulking agents, preservatives, tablet disintegrants, flow
regulator, plasticizers, wetting agents, dispersants,
emulsifiers, solvents, release-slo~,ring agents. antioxidants
