ABSTRACT:
FIELD OF THE INVENTION
This invention relates to novel cyclic pyridyl substituted compounds, pharmaceutical compositions, processes for their preparation, and use thereof in treating IL-8, GRO&agr;, GRO&bgr;, GRO&ggr;, NAP-2, and ENA-78 mediated diseases.
BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION
Many different names have been applied to Interleukin-8 (IL-8), such as neutrophil attractant/activation protein-1 (NAP-1), monocyte derived neutrophil chemotactic factor (MDNCF), neutrophil activating factor (NAF), and T-cell lymphocyte chemotactic factor. Interleukin-8 is a chemoattractant for neutrophils, basophils, and a subset of T-cells. It is produced by a majority of nucleated cells including macrophages, fibroblasts, endothelial and epithelial cells exposed to TNF, IL-1a, IL-1b or LPS, and by neutrophils themselves when exposed to LPS or chemotactic factors such as FMLP.

GRO&agr;, GRO&bgr;, GRO&ggr;, and NAP-2 also belong to the chemokine a family. Like IL-8 these chemokines have also been referred to by different names. For instance GRO&agr;, &bgr;, &ggr; have been referred to as MGSAa, b and g respectively (Melanoma Growth Stimulating Activity), see Richmond et al., J. Cell Physiology 129, 375 (1986) and Chang et al.,
J. Immunol
148,451 (1992). All of the chemokines of the &agr;-family which possess the ELR motif directly preceding the CXC motif bind to the IL-8 B receptor.
IL-8, GRO&agr;, GRO&bgr;, GRO&ggr;, NAP-2, and ENA-78 stimulate a number of functions in vitro. They have all been shown to have chemoattractant properties for neutrophils, while IL-8 and GRO&agr; have demonstrated T-lymphocytes, and basophilic chemotactic activity. In addition IL-8 can induce histamine release from basophils from both normal and atopic individuals GRO&agr; and IL-8 can in addition, induce lysozomal enzyme release and respiratory burst from neutrophils. IL-8 has also been shown to increase the surface expression of Mac-1 (CD11b/CD18) on neutrophils without de novo protein synthesis. This may contribute to increased adhesion of the neutrophils to vascular endothelial cells. Many known diseases are characterized by massive neutrophil infiltration. As IL-8, GRO&agr;, GRO&bgr;, GRO&ggr; and NAP-2 promote the accumulation and activation of neutrophils, these chemokines have been implicated in a wide range of acute and chronic inflammatory disorders including psoriasis and rheumatoid arthritis, Baggiolini et al.,

In vitro, IL-8, GRO&agr;, GRO&bgr;, GRO&ggr; and NAP-2 induce neutrophil shape change, chemotaxis, granule release, and respiratory burst, by binding to and activating receptors of the seven-transmembrane, G-protein-linked family, in particular by binding to IL-8 receptors, most notably the B-receptor. Thomas et al.,
J. Biol. Chem
. 266, 14839 (1991); and Holmes et al.,
Science
253, 1278 (1991). The development of non-peptide small molecule antagonists for members of this receptor family has precedent. For a review see R. Freidinger in:
Progress in Drug Research
, Vol. 40, pp. 33-98, Birkhauser Verlag, Basel 1993. Hence, the IL-8 receptor represents a promising target for the development of novel anti-inflammatory agents.
Two high affinity human IL-8 receptors (77% homology) have been characterized: IL-8Ra, which binds only IL-8 with high affinity, and IL-8Rb, which has high affinity for IL-8 as well as for GRO&agr;, GRO&bgr;, GRO&ggr; and NAP-2. See Holmes et al., supra; Murphy et al.,

There remains a need for treatment, in this field, for compounds which are capable of binding to the IL-8 a or b receptor. Therefore, conditions associated with an increase in IL-8 production (which is responsible for chemotaxis of neutrophil and T-cells subsets into the inflammatory site) would benefit by compounds which are inhibitors of IL-8 receptor binding.
SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION
This invention provides for a method of treating a chemokine mediated disease, wherein the chemokine is one which binds to an IL-8 a or b receptor and which method comprises administering an effective amount of a compound of Formula (I), (II), or (III) or a pharmaceutically acceptable salt thereof In particular the chemokine is IL-8.
This invention also relates to a method of inhibiting the binding of IL-8 to its receptors in a mammal in need thereof which comprises administering to said mammal an effective amount of a compound of Formula (I), (II) or (III).
The present invention also provides for the novel compounds of Formula (I), (II), or (III) and pharmaceutical compositions comprising a compound of Formula (I), (II, or (III) and a pharmaceutical carrier or diluent.
