Abstract

The present invention is related to N-hydroxyamide derivatives of Formula (I): and use thereof in particular for the treatment and/or prophylaxis of autoimmune disorders, inflammatory diseases, cardiovascular diseases, neurodegenerative diseases, cancer, respiratory diseases and fibrosis, including multiple sclerosis, arthritis, emphysema, chronic obstructive pulmonary disease, liver and pulmonary fibrosis.

Claims (46)

1. An N-hydroxyamide derivative according to Formula (I),

wherein:

A is N;

R 1 is aryl, optionally substituted with halogen or —O—R;

R is C 1 -C 6 alkyl, optionally substituted with halogen,

R 2 is H;

R 3 is H;

R 4 is selected from H and unsubstituted C 1 -C 6 alkyl; and

R 5 , R 6 and R 7 are H;

or an enantiomer, diastereomer, racemate, or a pharmaceutically acceptable salt thereof.

2. An N-hydroxyamide derivative according to claim 1 wherein R 1 is phenyl.

3. An N-hydroxyamide derivative according to claim 1 , selected from the group consisting of:

(2R)-4-[4-(4-fluorophenyl)piperazin-1-yl]-N,2-dihydroxy-4-oxobutanamide;

(2S)-4-[4-(4-fluorophenyl)piperazin-1-yl]-N,2-dihydroxy-4-oxobutanamide;

(2S)—N,2-dihydroxy-4-{(2R)-2-methyl-4-[4-(trifluoromethoxy)phenyl]piperazin-1-yl}-4-oxobutanamide; and

(2S)-4-[(2R)-4-biphenyl-4-yl-2-methylpiperazin-1-yl]-N,2-dihydroxy-4-oxo butanamide;

or a pharmaceutically acceptable salt thereof.

4. A method of treating a subject with a matrix metalloproteinase (MMP) associated disease or disorder, wherein the metalloproteinase is selected from the group consisting of MMP-9, MMP-2 and MMP-12, and the disease or disorder is associated with MMP activity and/or expression, and the matrix metalloproteinase (MMP) associated disease or disorder is multiple sclerosis or chronic obstructive pulmonary disorders, comprising administering to the subject an effective amount of a compound according to claim 1 .

5. A pharmaceutical composition comprising a compound according to claim 1 and a pharmaceutically acceptable carrier, diluent or excipient thereof.

6. A process for the manufacture of a compound of formula I:

said process comprising the step of reacting a compound of Formula (IV):

with a hydroxylamine, H 2 NO—R 8 , and thereby forming the compound according to Formula I;

wherein

A is N;

R 1 is aryl, optionally substituted with halogen or —O—R;

R is C 1 -C 6 alkyl, optionally substituted with halogen;

R 2 is H;

R 4 is selected from H and unsubstituted C 1 -C 6 alkyl;

R 5 , R 6 and R 7 are H; and

R 8 is selected from H, t-butyl, benzyl, trialkylsilyl, and tetrahydropyranyl.

7. The process according to claim 6 , further comprising a deprotection step, wherein the deprotection step is occurring at R 8 , when R 8 is not H.

8. A compound according to Formula (IV):

wherein

A is N;

R 1 is aryl, optionally substituted with halogen or —O—R;

R is C 1 -C 6 alkyl, optionally substituted with halogen;

R 2 is H; and

R 4 is selected from H and unsubstituted C 1 -C 6 alkyl; and

R 5 , R 6 and R 7 are H;

or a pharmaceutically acceptable salt thereof.

9. A compound according to claim 8 selected from the group:

(5R)-5-{2-[4-(4-fluorophenyl)piperazin-1-yl]-2-oxoethyl}-2,2-dimethyl-1,3-dioxolan-4-one;

(5S)-5-{2-[4-(4-fluorophenyl)piperazin-1-yl]-2-oxoethyl}-2,2-dimethyl-1,3-dioxolan-4-one;

(5S)-2,2-dimethyl-5-[2-[((2R)-2-methyl-4-{4-[(trifluoromethyl)oxy]phenyl}piperazin-1-yl)-2-oxoethyl]-1,3-dioxolan-4-one; and

(5S)-5-{2-[(2R)-4-biphenyl-4-yl-2-methylpiperazin-1-yl]-2-oxoethyl}-2,2-dimethyl-1,3-dioxolan-4-one;

or a pharmaceutically acceptable salt thereof.
