Non-imidazole histamine H3 ligands: part V. synthesis and preliminary pharmacological investigation of 1-[2-thiazol-4-yl- and 1-[2-thiazol-5-yl-(2-aminoethyl)]-4-n-propylpiperazine derivatives.

Series of 1-[2-thiazol-4-yl-(2-aminoethyl)]- and 1-[2-thiazol-5-yl-(2-aminoethyl)]-4-n-propylpiperazine derivatives have been prepared and in vitro tested as H3-receptor antagonists (the electrically evoked contraction of the guinea-pig jejunum). It appeared that by comparison of homologous pairs, the 1-[2-thiazol-5-yl-(2-aminoethyl)]-4-n-propylpiperazines (3a,b and 4a-d) have much higher potency than their analogous 1-[2-thiazol-4-yl-(2-aminoethyl)]-4-n-propylpiperazines (2a-k). Based on the obtained results, we observed the 5-position of 2-methyl-2-R-aminoethyl substituents in the thiazole ring is favourable for histamine H3 receptor antagonist activity, whereas its presence in position 4 leads, almost in each case, to strong decrease of activity.

Introduction

Histamine plays a variety of physiological roles in the central nervous system (CNS) and peripheral tissues through the four known G protein-coupled receptors, H1, H2, H3 and H4 (Hough, 2001). H1 and H2 receptor antagonists are well-known therapeutic agents and are in use for the treatment of allergic disease (Leurs et al., 2002) and peptic ulcer (Brimblecombe et al., 1978), respectively. The newly discovered H4 receptor seems to have a role in regulating inflammatory responses (Thurmond et al., 2004). The histamine H3 receptor, which was discovered in 1983 by Arrang and co-workers (Arrang et al., 1983), mainly located in the CNS, is a presynaptic autoreceptor that does not only modulate the production and the release of histamine from histaminergic neurons (Arrang et al., 1987) but also regulates the release of other neurotransmitters like acetylocholine (Clapham and Kilpatrick, 1992; Yokatoni et al., 2000), dopamine (Schlicker et al., 1993), norepinephrine (Schlicker et al., 1990), serotonin (Schlicker et al., 1988) and glutamate (Brown and Reymann, 1996) in both the CNS and peripheral nervous system. Enhancement of neurotransmitter release by histamine H3 receptor antagonist shows a clinical approach to the treatment of several CNS disorders (Esbenshade et al., 2006; Cemkov et al., 2009), including attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (Quades, 1987), sleep disorders (Monti, 1993), epilepsy (Vahora et al., 2001) and schizophrenia (Velligan and Miller, 1999). Pharmacological data also suggest a potential role for H3 antagonists in the control of feeding, appetite, and support the role of H3 receptor in obesity (Hancock, 2003; Hancock et al., 2004).

Early generation of H3 receptor ligands were based on structures containing the imidazole moiety, many of which have found utility as pharmacological tools (Stark et al., 1996; Van der Goot and Timmerman, 2000). However, antagonist carrying on the imidazole heterocycle is the potential issue for drug–drug interactions through inhibition of hepatic cytochrome P450 enzymes and poor CNS penetration (Lin and Lu, 1998; Zhang et al., 2005). For these reasons, and after the successful cloning of the human histamine H3 receptor by Lovenberg (Lovenberg et al., 1999), efforts have been directed towards the discovery of H3 antagonists without an imidazole moiety as these compounds may offer improvements in binding affinity, CNS penetration, and reduced potential for cytochrome P450 enzymes inhibition (Cowart et al., 2004). A number of non-imidazole antagonists have since been reported (Ganellin et al., 1998; Celanire et al., 2005). Representative examples of non-imidazole H3 antagonists included among others were JNJ-5207852 (hH3RKi = 0.6 nM) (Apodaca et al., 2003), UCL 2190 (rH3RKi = 4 nM) (Meier et al., 2001) and ABT-239 (hH3RKi = 0.45 nM) (Cowart et al., 2002) (Chart 1).

Representative non-imidazole H3-histamine receptor antagonists and the target molecules of this study

Previously, our laboratory has described several non-imidazole piperazine-based histamine H3 antagonists, consisting of 1-(2-thiazolobenzo)-, 1-(2-thiazolopyridine)- and 1-[2-thiazol-5-yl-(2-aminoethyl)] moieties with moderate to pronounced affinity for the receptor (Walczyński et al., 1999, 2005; Frymarkiewicz and Walczynski, 2009). The SAR of 1-[(2-thiazolobenzo)-4-n-propyl]piperazines and 1-[(2-thiazolopyridine)-4-n-propyl]piperazines series, showed no significant difference in H3 activities (Walczyński et al., 1999, 2005). These results prompted us to replace the benzo ring by 2-methyl-2-alkylaminoethyl amide, 2-methyl-2-alkylaminoethyl and 2-methyl-2-phenylalkylaminoethyl chains at position 5 of 1-(2-thiazol-5-yl)-4-n-propylpiperazine moiety. The highest affinity for these series has been seen in the compound with the N-methyl-N-phenylpropylamino substituent 1 (Chart 1; pA2 = 8.27; electric field stimulation assay on guinea-pig jejunum) and with slightly lower potencies for compounds carrying on N-methyl-N-benzylamino and N,N-dimethylamino substituents with pA2 = 7.75 and 7.78, respectively (Frymarkiewicz and Walczynski, 2009).

In continuation of our earlier work, we studied the influence, on H3-receptor antagonistic activity, of the introduction of 2-CH3-2-R-aminoethyl-substitution at position 4 of the thiazole ring. Therefore, the series of 1-[2-thiazol-4-yl-(2-aminoethyl)]-4-n-propylpiperazines 2a–k (Chart 1), bearing the substituents showing the highest affinity in previously described 1-[2-thiazol-5-yl-(2-aminoethyl)]-4-n-propylpiperazines (Frymarkiewicz and Walczynski, 2009), was prepared and pharmacologically evaluated (electric field stimulation assay on guinea-pig jejunum). In addition, with the aim of the complement 1-[2-thiazol-5-yl-(2-aminoethyl)]-4-n-propylpiperazines series, 1-[2-thiazol-5-yl-(2-methyl-2-phenylethyl)]- 3a, 1-[2-thiazol-5-yl-(2-methyl-2-phenylbutylaminoethyl)]-4-n-propylpiperazine 3b and 1-[2-thiazol-5-yl-(2-methyl-2-phenylcarbonylaminoethyl)]-4-n-propylpiperazine amides 4a–d (Chart 1) were synthesized.

In this study, we report on synthesis and preliminary pharmacological investigation of new 1-[2-thiazol-5-yl-(2-aminoethyl)]-4-n-propylpiperazine derivatives 2 and 1-[2-thiazol-5-yl-(2-methyl-2-phenylethyl-, 1-[2-thiazol-5-yl-(2-methyl-2-phenylbutylaminoethyl)]-4-n-propylpiperazines 3 and 1-[2-thiazol-5-yl-(2-methyl-2-phenylcarbonylaminoethyl)]-4-n-propylpiperazine amides 4.

Chemistry

The general synthetic procedure used in this study is illustrated in Schemes 1 and 2. 1-[2-Thiazol-4-yl-(2-methylaminoethyl)]-4-n-propylpiperazine 10 (Scheme 1) was prepared from compound 5 by four-step synthesis including cyclization reaction of 1-(4-n-propyl)piperazine thioamide 5 with ethyl 4-chloroacetoacetate 6 to 1-[2-thiazol-4-yl-(2-methoxycarbonylethyl)]-4-n-propylpiperazine 7, reduction with LiAlH4 in dry ethyl ether to 1-[2-thiazol-4-yl-(2-hydroxyethyl)]-4-n-propylpiperazine 8, mesylation with methanesulfonyl chloride in dry pyridine to 1-[2-thiazol-4-yl-(2-mesyloxyethyl)]-4-n-propylpiperazine 9 and finally through nucleophilic displacement of the mesyloxy group by methylamine in methanol to 1-[2-thiazol-4-yl-(2-methylaminoethyl)]-4-n-propylpiperazine 10. 1-[2-Thiazol-4-yl-(2-methy-2-alkylaminoethyl)]-4-n-propylpiperazines 2a,b and 1-[2-thiazol-4-yl-(2-methy-2-phenylalkylaminoethyl)]-4-n-propylpiperazines 2c,d were prepared from 1-[2-thiazol-4-yl-(2-mesyloxyethyl)]-4-n-propylpiperazine 9 through nucleophilic substitution of the mesyloxy group by an appropriate secondary amine in methanol. Compounds 2e–g, 1-[2-thiazol-4-yl-(2-methyl-2-phenylalkylaminoethyl)]-4-n-propylpiperazine, were obtained from 1-[2-thiazol-4-yl-(2-methylaminoethyl)]-4-n-propylpiperazine 10 by alkylation with the corresponding primary phenyloalkyl halides in acetonitrile followed by purification with column chromatography. [2-Thiazol-4-yl-(2-metyl-2-phenylcarbonylaminoethyl)]-4-n-propylpiperazine amides 2h–k were obtained by standard methods. Compound 10 was acetylated with an appropriate acid chloride in the presence of NaHCO3 in DME, followed by purification with column chromatography.

Compounds 3a, b, 1-[2-thiazol-5-yl-(2-methyl-2-phenylalkylaminoethyl)]-4-n-propylpiperazine (Scheme 2), were synthesized from compound 11 by alkylation with the corresponding primary phenylalkyl halides in acetonitrile followed by purification with column chromatography. Amides 4a–d were obtained by acetylation of 1-[2-thiazol-5-yl-(2-methylaminoethyl)]-4-n-propylpiperazine 11 (Scheme 2) with an appropriate acid chloride with the presence of K2CO3 in DME, followed by purification with column chromatography.

All free bases were dissolved in small amount of n-propanol and treated with methanolic HBr. The hydrobromides crystallized as white solid.

The 1-(4-n-propyl)piperazine thioamide (5) was directly obtained by the reaction of the 1-n-propylpiperazine dihydrobromide with potassium thiocyanate in aqueous solution (Frymarkiewicz and Walczynski, 2009).

The 5-phenylpentyl bromide was obtained according to Collins (Collins and Davis, 1961). The 5-phenyl-1-pentanol was converted into the bromide by treatment with 50 % aqueous hydrobromic acid and concentrated sulphuric acid.

The ethyl 4-chloroacetoacetate, 1-n-propylpiperazine dihydrobromide, benzyl bromide, 1-bromo-3-phenylpropane, 1-bromo-4-phenylbutane 5-phenyl-1-pentanol, dimethylamine solution in methanol, N-methylpropylamine, N-benzylmethylamine, N-methyl-2-phenethylamine, benzoyl chloride, p-toluoyl chloride, 4-chlorobenzoyl chloride and 4-nitrobenzoyl chloride were all purchased from commercial sources.

Results and discussion

The compounds were in vitro tested as H3 receptor antagonists—the electrically evoked contraction of the guinea-pig jejunum.

The presented series of 1-[2-thiazol-4-yl-(2-aminoethyl)]-4-n-propylpiperazines (2a–k) and their analogous 1-[2-thiazol-5-yl-(2-aminoethyl)]-4-n-propylpiperazine (3a,b and 4a–d) derivatives possess weak to pronounced H3-receptor antagonist potency (Table 1).

The introduction of 2-methyl-2-R-aminoethyl-substituents at position 4 of the thiazole ring led to the derivatives 2a, b, d–k having, independent of the sort of substituent, weak activity, except for derivative 2c showing moderate affinity with pA2 = 7.12.

It appeared that by comparison of homologous pairs, the 1-[2-thiazol-5-yl-(2-aminoethyl)]-4-n-propylpiperazines (3a,b and 4a–d) have much higher potency than their analogous 1-[2-thiazol-4-yl-(2-aminoethyl)]-4-n-propylpiperazines (2a–k). The differences are observed inside of each series. In the case of 1-[2-thiazol-4-yl-(2-aminoethyl)]-4-n-propylpiperazines, elongation of alkyl chain from one to three methylene groups results in an increase of potency for 2a pA2 = 6.76 and 2b pA2 = 6.96, this is in opposition to the 1-[2-thiazol-5-yl-(2-aminoethyl)]-4-n-propylpiperazine derivatives where the 1-[2-thiazol-5-yl-(2-N,N-dimethylaminoethyl)]-4-n-propylpiperazine shows slightly higher potency than its N-methyl-N-propyl analogue (pA2 = 7.78; pA2 = 7.53, respectively).

In the 2-methyl-2-phenylalkyl derivatives of 1-[2-thiazol-4-yl-(2-aminoethyl)]-4-n-propylpiperazine (2c–g), there is no significant difference in affinity. Elongation of alkyl chain from one to five methylene groups does not influence antagonistic activity (pA2 ranging from 6.81 for compound 2d to 6.69 for compound 2g). In the analogues series, there is no significant difference in affinity among the methyl and ethyl derivatives (pA2 = 7.76 and 7.61 for compound 3a). A further elongation in the alkyl chain length to 3 methylene groups results in an increase of antagonistic activity, reaching the maximum for 1-[2-thiazol-5-yl-(2-methyl-2-phenylpropylaminoethyl)]-4-n-propylpiperazine (pA2 = 8.27); activity decreases on further lengthening up to 5 methylene groups (pA2 = 7.80 for compound 3b and 7.25 for 1-[2-thiazol-5-yl-(2-phenylpentylmethylaminoethyl)]-4-n-propylpiperazine). Replacement of hydrogen by p-benzoyl substituent at the end of N-methyl group leads to the compounds 2h–k (pA2 from 5.65 to 6.23) and their analogues 4a–d (pA2 from 7.45 to 7.76). By comparison of homologous pairs, the 1-[2-thiazol-5-yl-(2-methyl-2-phenylcarbonylaminoethyl)]-4-n-propylpiperazine amides 4a–d have much higher potency than their analogous 1-[2-thiazol-4-yl-(2-methyl-2-phenylcarbonylaminoethyl)]-4-n-propylpiperazine amides 2h–k. In both series, a slightly higher activity is observed for compounds carrying on electron-withdrawing substituent at para-position in the benzene ring.

Summarizing, 1-[2-thiazol-5-yl-(2-aminoethyl)]-4-n-propylpiperazines display a higher activity than their 1-[2-thiazol-4-yl-(2-aminoethyl)]-4-n-propylpiperazine analogues. We observe that the position 5 of 2-methyl-2-R-aminoethyl-substituents in the thiazole ring is favourable for histamine H3 receptor antagonist activity, whereas its presence in position 4 leads, almost in each case, to strong decrease of activity.

The highest potency for both homologous series is seen in the compound with the 2-methyl-2-phenylpropylaminoethyl substituent (pA2 = 8.27) and with slightly lower potencies for compounds carrying on 2,2-dimethylaminoethyl, 2-methyl-2-(4-chlorophenyl)carbonylaminoethyl and 2-methyl-2-(4-nitrophenyl)-carbonylaminoethyl substituents (pA2 = 7.78; pA2 = 7.73 and pA2 = 7.76, respectively).

Experimental protocols

General Methods. All melting points (mp) were measured in open capillaries on an electrothermal apparatus and are uncorrected. For all compounds, 1H NMR spectra were recorded on a Varian Mercury 300 MHz spectrometer. Chemical shifts are expressed in ppm downfield from internal TMS as reference. 1H NMR data are reported in order: multiplicity (br, broad; s, singlet; d, doublet; t, triplet; m, multiplet; * exchangeable by D2O) number of protons, and approximate coupling constant in Hertz. 13C NMR spectra were recorded on Bruker Avance III 600 MHz spectrometer. Elemental analysis (C, H, N) for all compounds were measured on Perkin Elmer Series II CHNS/O Analyzer 2400 and are within ±0.4 % of the theoretical values. TLC was performed on silica gel 60 F254 plates (Merck). Flash column chromatography was carried out using silica gel 60 Å  50 μm (J. T. Baker B. V.), employing the same eluent as was indicated by TLC.

Pharmacology

All compounds were tested for H3 antagonistic effects in vitro on the guinea-pig jejunum using standard methods (Vollinga et al., 1992).

Male guinea pigs weighing 300–400 g were killed by a blow on the head. A portion of the small intestine, 20–50 cm proximal to the ileocaecal valve (jejunum), was removed and placed in Krebs buffer (composition (mM) NaCl 118; KCl 5.6; MgSO4 1.18; CaCl2 2.5; NaH2PO4 1.28; NaHCO3 25; glucose 5.5 and indomethacin (1 × 10−6 mol/L)). Whole jejunum segments (2 cm) were prepared and mounted between two platinum electrodes (4 mm apart) in 20 mL Krebs buffer, continuously gassed with 95 % O2:5 % CO2 and maintained at 37 °C. Contractions were recorded isotonically under 1.0 g tension with Hugo Sachs Hebel–Messvorsatz (Tl-2)/HF-modem (Hugo Sachs Electronik, Hugstetten, Germany) connected to a pen recorder. After equilibration for 1 h with every 10 min washings, the muscle segments were stimulated maximally between 15 and 20 V and continuously at a frequency of 0.1 Hz and a duration of 0.5 ms, with rectangular-wave electrical pulses, delivered by a Grass Stimulator S-88 (Grass Instruments Co., Quincy, USA). After 30 min of stimulation, 5 min before adding (R)-α-methylhistamine, pyrilamine (1 × 10−5 mol/L concentration in organ bath) was added, and then cumulative concentration–response curves (half-log increments) of (R)-α-methylhistamine, H3-agonist were recorded until no further change in response was found. Five minutes before adding the tested compounds, the pyrilamine (1 × 10−5 mol/L concentration in organ bath) was added, and after 20 min cumulative concentration–response curves (half-log increments) of (R)-α-methylhistamine, H3-agonist, were recorded until no further change in response was found. Statistical analysis was carried out with the Students’ t test. In all tests, p < 0.05 was considered statistically significant. The potency of an antagonist is expressed by its pA2 value calculated from the Schild (Arunlakshana and Schild, 1959) regression analysis where at least three concentrations were used. The pA2 values were compared with the potency of thioperamide.
