Technical Field
[0001] The present invention relates to novel pyrrolo[3,2-c]pyridine derivatives or pharmaceutically
acceptable salts thereof which have an excellent inhibitory activity against gastric
acid secretion, processes for the preparation thereof, and pharmaceutical compositions
comprising the same.
Background Art
[0002] Peptic ulcer disease occurs when offensive factors involving gastric acid secretion
are strong or defensive factors of gastric mucous are weak. For the treatment of peptic
ulcer disease, various drugs such as antacid, anticholinergic agent, H
2-receptor antagonist, and proton pump inhibitor have been used. The advent of omeprazole
as a proton pump inhibitor has rekindled research activities in this field.
[0003] However, it has been pointed out that proton pump inhibition by omeprazole is irreversible,
thereby incurring long-term inhibition of gastric acid secretion, which may induce
side effects. Accordingly, various attempts to develop a reversible proton pump inhibitor
are being made. For example, imidazopyridine derivatives are disclosed in
WO 98/37,080 (AstraZeneca AB),
WO 00/17,200 (Byk Gulden Lomberg Chem.), and
U.S. Patent No. 4,450,164 (Schering Corporation) as a reversible proton pump inhibitor. Further, pyrimidine
derivatives are also disclosed in European Patent No.

[0119] Preparation 1.3-(4-fluorobenzyloxy)-4-nitropyridine
[0120] Step 1: 3-bromopyridin-
N-oxide
[0121] 30% Hydrogen peroxide (41 ml) was added to a solution of 3-bromopyridine (32 g, 0.202
mol) in acetic acid (120 ml). The reaction mixture was stirred at 70°C - 80°C for
9 hours, concentrated under reduced pressure, alkalized with excess sodium carbonate,
and then diluted with methylene chloride (100 ml). The reaction mixture was filtered
to discard un-dissolved inorganic materials. The resulting organic layer was dried
on anhydrous magnesium sulfate and then concentrated under reduced pressure. The resulting
residue was used in the subsequent step without further purification.
[0122] Step 2: 3-bromo-4-nitropyridin-
N-oxide
[0123] Concentrated nitric acid (128 ml) and concentrated sulfuric acid (77 ml) were slowly
added to a solution of 3-bromopyridin-
N-oxide (31.9 g, 181.0 mmol) prepared in Step 1 in concentrated sulfuric acid (77 ml),
while maintaining the temperature at 0°C ~ 5°C. The reaction mixture was stirred at
90 °C for 2 hours and then cooled to room temperature. The reaction mixture was added
to 1000 ml of ice water, which was then brought to pH 8 with 50 % sodium hydroxide
solution. The resulting precipitate was filtered and dried to give the titled compound
as a yellow solid (29.3 g, 72.0 %).

[0272] 1-1. Preparation of gastric proton pump vesicles
[0273] The hog fundic regions containing parietal and peptic cells were scraped with slide-glass.
The collected cells were suspended in 10 ml of 0.25M sucrose buffer and homogenized
using a tight-fitting Teflon-glass homogenizer. The homogenate was centrifuged for
35 min at 8,000 rpm and the pellet was discarded. The supernatant was further centrifuged
for 75 min at 25,000 rpm. The resulting pellets were re-suspended in the sucrose buffer
(10 ml), and then the suspension was laid onto discontinuous density gradients consisting
of 0.25M sucrose buffer and isolation medium containing 9% Ficoll (w/w). After being
centrifuged for 3 hours and 15 minutes at 100,000 x g, the material at the interface
of sucrose buffer and Ficoll solution was collected and then centrifuged for 40 minutes
at 100,000 x g. The resulting pellets were re-suspended in 1 ml of 5 mM Hepes/Tris
buffer (pH 6.1). This material was lyophilized and stored at -70 °C and used as an
enzyme source of the in vitro enzyme reaction assay of proton pump.
[0274] 1-2. Measurement of inhibitory effects on proton pump (H
+/K
+-ATPase) activity
[0275] T he inhibitory effects of the compounds of the present invention against proton
pump activity were evaluated in 96-well plate. In this assay, the K
+ specific H
+/K
+ - ATPase activity was calculated based on the difference between the activity of
H
+/K
+ - ATPase activity with K
+ and without K
+ ion. In 96-well plate, 1% dimethylsulfoxide (DMSO) in buffer was added to negative
and positive control groups and the diluted compounds of the present invention in
buffer were added to test group. All assays were performed in 100 □ reaction volume
at room temperature, and the hog gastric vesicle was kept in ice before use. At the
beginning of the reaction, 10 □ of reaction buffer containing 1% DMSO was added to
the negative and positive control groups and to each concentration of compounds in
the test group. Then lyophilized vesicle in 5mM Pipes/Tris buffer (pH 6.1) was pre-incubated
in the presence of various concentrations of test compounds. After a 5 minute incubation,
negative and positive buffers were respectively added to the previous reaction mixture.
As the substrate, ATP was added to the reaction buffer, and incubated for 30 minutes
at 37°C. Enzymatic activity was stopped by the addition of colorimetric reagent (2X
malachite green, 1X ammonium molybdate, 1X polyvinyl alcohol, 2X H
2O) and the amount of mono phosphate (Pi) in the reaction was measured at 620nm using
the micro plate reader (Genios Pro, TECAN). The difference between the Pi production
with K
+ and without K
+ is taken as K
+ stimulated H
+/K
+-ATPase activity. The IC
50 s of test compounds were calculated from each % inhibition value of compounds using
the method of Litchfield-Wilcoxon (
J. Pharmacol. Exp. Ther. (1949) 96, 99). The results are shown in Table 1.

[0277] As shown in Table 1, the compounds of the present invention have excellent inhibitory
effects on gastric H
+/K
+-ATPase .
[0278] Test Example 2. Inhibitory effects on basal gastric acid secretion in pylorus-ligated
rats
[0279] Inhibitory effects of the compounds of the present invention on basal gastric acid
secretion were performed according to Shay's rat model (
Shay, H., et al., 1945, gastroenterology, 5, 43-61). Male Sprague Dawley (SD) rats (200 ± 10 g body weight) were divided into 3 groups
(n=5) and fasted for 24 hours with free access to water. Control group was orally
administered with 0.5% methylcellulose alone and the other groups were orally administered
with test compounds suspended in 0.5% methylcellulose solution at doses of 1, 3 and
10 mg/kg/5ml one hour before pylorus ligation.
[0280] Under ether anesthesia, the abdomens of the rats were incised and then the pylorus
was ligated. 5 hours after ligation, the animals were sacrificed, and the gastric
contents were collected. The collected contents were centrifuged at 1,000 x g for
10 minutes to obtain the gastric juice. Total acid output was measured by 0.01N NaOH
volume (ueq/ml) for automatic titration of the gastric juice to pH 7.0 and the ED
50 s of test compounds were calculated using the Litchfield-Wilcoxon method. % inhibitory
activity was calculated from the following equation and the results are shown in Table
2.
[0281] % inhibitory activity of test compound = (total acid output of control group - total
acid output of the group treated with test compounds) / total acid output of control
group X 100

[0283] As shown in Table 2, the compounds of the present invention have potent inhibition
activities against basal gastric acid secretion in pylorus-ligated rats.

+/K
+-ATPase
[0285] 3-1. Preparation of gastric vesicles
[0287] 3-2. Determination of reversible inhibition of hog gastric H
+/K
+-ATPase
[0288] Activity of H
+/K
+-ATPase in hog microsome (lyophilized vesicle) was measured by the inorganic phosphate
released from ATP using an one-step colorimetric detection method at the concentration
at which the test compounds have 50% inhibition of the proton pump (Chan KM, Delfert
D, and Junger KD, A direct colorimetric assay for Ca
2+-stimulated ATPase activity.
Anal Biochem, 157, 375-380, 1986). The mode of action of test compounds on H
+/K
+-ATPase was investigated according to the Washout method (Beil W, Staar U, and Sewing
KF, Substituted thieno[3,4-d]imidazoles, a novel group of H
+/K
+-ATPase inhibitors. Differentiation of their inhibition characteristics from those
of omeprazole.
Eur. J. Pharmacol., 187, 455-67, 1990).
[0289] Lyophilized vesicle in the solution of 5mM Pipes/Tris buffer was pre-incubated in
the presence of the test compound (the compound of Example 38) at the concentration
at which it has 50% inhibition of the proton pump. The previous reaction buffer was
added with 2mM MgCl
2, 50mM KCI, 5uM Valinomycin, and 0.5mM ATP and then incubated for 30 minutes at 37°C.
The H
+/K
+-ATPase activity was measured using the colorimetric detection method and then the
test sample was centrifuged at 100,000 x g for 1 hr. The vesicles are present in the
form of pellets in the test sample. The supernatant thereof was replaced with the
same buffer not having the test compound. The test sample was pre-incubated for 5
minutes at room temperature and then incubated further for 30 minutes at 37°C. The
H
+/K
+-ATPase activity was also measured using the colorimetric detection method. The H
+/K
+-ATPase activity before washout and after washout in the test sample was analyzed,
in comparison with those in the non-treated group.
[0290] As a result, the compound of Example 38 inhibited H
+/K
+-ATPase activity by 50% before washout and did not inhibit H
+/K
+-ATPase activity after washout; the gastric H
+ /K
+-ATPase activity by the compound of Example 38 was completely recovered to non-treated
group level after washout. These results confirm that the compounds of formula (I)
exhibited reversible inhibition of the gastric H
+/K
+-ATPase.
