Guanidine compound

TECHNICAL FIELD

The present invention relates to a guanidine compound which is useful as an active ingredient of a pharmaceutical composition, in particular, a pharmaceutical composition for preventing and/or treating vascular adhesion protein-1 (hereinafter abbreviated as VAP-1)-related diseases.

BACKGROUND ART

VAP-1 is an amine oxidase (semicarbazide-sensitive amine oxidase, SSAO) which is abundant in human plasma (Non-Patent Document 1), and shows remarkably increased expression in vascular endothelium and vascular smooth muscle of inflammatory regions. While the physiological role of VAP-1 has not been clarified until recently, VAP-1 gene was cloned in 1998, and VAP-1 has been reported to be a membrane protein that regulates rolling and migration of lymphocytes and NK cells as an adhesion molecule under regulation of expression by inflammatory cytokines. Although the amine acting as a substrate is unknown, it is considered to be methylamine generated in any part of a living body. It is also known that hydrogen peroxide and aldehydes produced due to the amine oxidase activity in the molecule are important factors of adhesion activity.

A recent report has demonstrated that the VAP-1 enzyme activity in plasma increases in patients with diabetes mellitus, whether type I or type II, and the increase is particularly remarkable in patients with diabetes mellitus suffering from retinopathy complications (Non-Patent Documents 2 and 3).

In addition, it has been reported that VAP-1 is related to the following diseases:

(1) cirrhosis, essential stabilized hypertension, diabetes mellitus, and arthrosis (Patent Documents 1 and 2);

(2) endothelium damage (in diabetes mellitus, arterosclerosis, and hypertension), cardiovascular diseases related to diabetes mellitus and uremia, pain related to gout and arthritis, and retinopathy (in diabetes mellitus patients) (Patent Document 3);

(3) inflammatory diseases or conditions (of connective tissue) (rheumatoid arthritis, ankylosing spondylitis, psoriatic arthritis and osteoarthritis or degenerative joint disease, Reiter's syndrome, Sjogren's syndrome, Behcet's syndrome, relapsing polychondritis, systemic lupus erythematosus, discoid lupus erythematosus, systemic sclerosis, eosinophilic fasciitis, polymyositis, dermatomyositis, polymyalgia rheumatica, vasculitis, temporal arteritis, polyarteritis nodosa, Wegener's granulomatosis, mixed connective tissue disease, and juvenile rheumatoid arthritis); gastrointestinal inflammatory diseases or conditions [Crohn's disease, ulcerative colitis, irritable bowel syndrome (spastic colon), fibrotic conditions of the liver, inflammation of the oral mucosa (stomatitis), and recurrent aphtous stomatitis]; central nervous system inflammatory diseases or conditions (multiple sclerosis, Alzheimer's disease, and ischemia-reperfusion injury related to ischemic stroke); pulmonary inflammatory diseases or conditions (asthma, adult respiratory distress syndrome, and chronic obstructive pulmonary disease); (chronic) skin inflammatory diseases or conditions (psoriasis, allergic lesions, lichen planus, pityriasis rosea, contact dermatitis, atopic dermatitis, and pityriasis rubra pilaris); diseases related to carbohydrate metabolism (diabetes mellitus and complications from diabetes mellitus) including microvascular and macrovascular diseases (arterosclerosis, vascular retinopathies, retinopathy, nephropathy, nephrotic syndrome and neuropathy (polyneuropathy, mononeuropathies and autonomic neuropathy), foot ulcers, joint problems, and increased risk of infection); diseases related to aberrations in adipocyte differentiation or function or smooth muscle cell function (arterosclerosis and obesity); vascular diseases [atheromatous arterosclerosis, nonatheromatous arterosclerosis, ischemic heart disease including myocardial infarction and peripheral arterial occlusion, Raynaud's disease and phenomenon, and thromboangiitis obliterans (Buerger's disease)]; chronic arthritis; inflammatory bowel diseases; and skin dermatoses (Patent Documents 4, 5, and 6, and Non-Patent Documents 4 and 5);

(4) diabetes mellitus (Patent Document 7);

(5) SSAO-mediated complications [diabetes mellitus (insulin dependent diabetes mellitus (IDDM) and non-insulin dependent diabetes mellitus (NIDDM)) and vascular complications (heart attack, angina, strokes, amputations, blindness, and renal insufficiency)], and macular edema (for example, diabetic and non-diabetic macular edema) (Patent Documents 8 and 9); and

Effect on Albuminuria in Rats with Diabetes Mellitus

Seven- to eight-week SD rats (having weights up to 200 to 250 g during fasting) were used and fasted for 20 hours, and then intraperitoneally administered with 60 mg/ml/kg of streptozotocin (STZ) prepared with a 2 mmol/l citric acid buffer (pH 4.5). At the same time, the control rats were injected with the same amount of a 2 mmol/l citric acid buffer (pH 4.5). The blood glucose value was measured using a colorimetric method, and the rats that had showed a value of 350 mg/dl blood glucose levels on day 3 after the treatment with STZ were diagnosed with diabetes mellitus.

The test substance was given daily for 4 weeks after the treatment with STZ. After 4 weeks of the treatment with the test substance, 24-hour urine collection was performed using metabolic cages.

The amounts of urinary albunmin excretion after 4 weeks were 67 (mg/gCr) and 236 (mg/gCr) with the control group and the STZ-treated group, respectively, and the amount of urinary albunmin excretion of the STZ-treated group increased 3.5 times than that of the control group. On the other hand, as a result of the oral administration of the compound of Example 11 in the amount of 0.3 mg/kg once daily, an amount of urinary albunmin excretion was 103 (mg/gCr), which was decreased to 1.5 times than that of the control group.

Furthermore, in the test with the compound of Example 557, the amount of urinary albunmin excretion after 4 weeks were 45 (mg/gCr) and 234 (mg/gCr) with the control group and the STZ-treated group, respectively, and the amount of urinary albunmin excretion of the STZ-treated group was increased to 5.2 times than that of the control group. On the other hand, as a result of the oral administration of the compound of Example 557 in the amount of 0.3 mg/kg once daily, amount of urinary albunmin excretion was 105 (mg/gCr), which was decreased to 2.3 times than that of the control group.

Effect on Eye Permeability in Rats with Diabetes Mellitus

Seven-week Long-Evans rats (having weights up to 200 to 250 g during fasting) were used and fasted for 20 hours, and then intraperitoneally administered with 60 mg/ml/kg of streptozotocin (STZ) prepared with a 2 mmol/l citric acid buffer (pH 4.5). At the same time, the control rats were injected with the same amount of a 2 mmol/l citric acid buffer (pH 4.5). The blood glucose value was measured using a colorimetric method, and the rats that had showed a value of 350 mg/dl blood glucose levels on day 3 after the treatment with STZ were diagnosed with diabetes mellitus.

The test substance was given daily for 2 weeks after the treatment with STZ. After 2 weeks of the treatment with the test substance, the retinal vascular permeability was examined after 24 hours from the date of the final administration. The retinal permeability was examined on the basis of the dye leakage into the retina after 2 h from the tail vein administration of 40 mg/ml/kg of Evans Blue Dye solution. The permeability as an index of the evaluation was expressed in the ratio of the retinal concentration/plasma concentration of the Evans Blue Dye. Measurement of the Evans Blue Dye concentration was carried out by measuring the absorbance using a plate reader.

After the result of the tests above, it was confirmed that some of the compounds of the formula (I) constantly exhibit a VAP-1 activity in blood in the oral administration test with rats. Therefore, the compounds can be used for treatment of VAP-1-related diseases or the like.

In the present specification, the thermal analysis measurement was carried out in the following order.
