Oxazolidine derivatives for the treatment and prevention of metabolic bone disorders
The present invention is concerned with oxazolidine derivatives for the treatment and prevention of metabolic bone disorders, a process for their manufacture as well as medicaments which contain these compounds.
In healthy persons the synthesis and degradation processes in bones is almost in equilibrium, i.e. the activity of the osteoblasts and osteoclasts is balanced. However, if this equilibrium is disturbed in favour of the osteoclasts and/or to the detriment of the osteoblasts, this leads to a reduction in the bone mass and to a negative change in the bone structure and function.
Hitherto, bone resorption inhibitors such as oestrogens, calcitonin and biphosphonates have primarily been used for the treatment of metabolic bone disorders. The use of these substances is, however, limited and also does not show the desired effect in all cases. Compounds which have a stimulating activity on bone synthesis and in addition contribute to an increase in an already reduced bone mass are accordingly of especial significance for the treatment of metabolic bone disorders.
Compounds having the oxazolidine structural element are known as antidiabetics, cytostatics inflammation inhibitors and for the treatment of cardiovascular illnesses and bacterial infections, with the treatment of osteoporosis in addition to an antidiabetic activity also being described in Applications EP 708098 and EP-A-676398.
The parathyroid hormone (PTH), a hormone from the parathyroid gland, is the natural ligand of the receptor and an important regulator for the maintenance of the calcium level in the body. PTH can stimulate bone formation or bone resorption. In this, it acts as a regulatory hormone on a series of enzymes, inter alia, on adenylate cyclase (cAMP synthesis) and on ornithine decarboxylase. PTH mobilizes calcium from bones in the case of calcium deficiency, reduces calcium excretion from the kidneys and simultaneously improves the resorption of calcium from the intestine by an increased
synthesis of l,25-(OH)2D3. A normalization of the calcium level is achieved by the action on these target organs. On the other hand, the incorporation of calcium in bones is stimulated in the case of an elevated calcium level. This osteoanabolic activity of PTH and its fragments has been attributed to the activation of adenylate cydase and of cAMP-dependent protein kinases (Rixon, R. Whitfield, J. et al JMBR 9 (8) 1179-89 (1994).
Surprisingly, it has now been found that oxazolidine derivatives of the present invention stimulate the PTH receptor-mediated cAMP formation. Compounds of the present invention are accordingly suitable for the broad treatment of metabolic bone disorders. They can be used primarily to good effect where the bone synthesis is disturbed, i.e. they are especially suitable for the treatment of osteopenic disorders of the skeletal system such as e.g. osteoporosis, inter alia, osteogenesis imperfecta as well as for the local assistance in bone regeneration and osteoinduction such as e.g. in orthopedic and maxillary medical indications, in fracture healing, osteosyntheses, pseudoarthroses and for the healing in of bone implants.
However, having regard to these properties they also find use in the prophylaxis of osteoporosis.
By their influence on bone metabolism medicaments with the oxazolidine derivatives of the present invention as active substances furthermore form a basis for the local and systemic treatment of rheumatoid arthritis, osteoarthritis and degenerative arthrosis.

The α-halocarboxylic acids and aldehydes used as starting materials are either commercially available, known or can be prepared analogously to the generally known processes.
Compounds of formula (I) can be administered (sic) in liquid, solid or aerosol form orally, enterally, parenterally, topically, nasally, pulmonary or rectally in all usual non- toxic pharmaceutically acceptable carrier materials, adjuvants and additives. The compounds of formula (I) can also be applied locally to/in the bones (optionally with surgical intervention). The term parenteral embraces subcutaneous, intravenous,and intramuscular delivery or infusions. Oral administration forms can be e.g. tablets, capsules, dragees, syrups, solutions, suspensions, emulsions, elixirs etc., which can contain one or more additives from the following groups, such as flavourings, sweeteners, colouring agents and preservatives. Oral administration forms contain the active ingredient together with non-toxic, pharmaceutically acceptable carrier materials which are suitable for the production of tablets, capsules, dragees etc., such as e.g. calcium carbonate, sodium carbonate, lactose, calcium phosphate or sodium phosphate; starch, mannitol, methylcellulose, talc, highly dispersible silicic acids, high molecular fatty acids (such as stearic acid), groundnut oil, olive oil, paraffin, miglyol, gelatine, agar-agar, magnesium stearate, beeswax, cetyl alcohol, lecithin, glycerol, animal and vegetable fats, solid high molecular polymers (such as polyethylene glycol). Tablets,
capsules, dragees etc. can be provided with an appropriate coating, e.g. glyceryl mono- stearate or glyceryl distearate, in order to prevent undesired side effects in the gastrointestinal tract or to give a longer duration of action by the delayed absorption in the gastrointestinal tract. As the injection medium there are preferably used sterile injectable aqueous or oily solutions or suspensions which contain the usual additives such as stabilizers and solubilizers. Such additives can be e.g. water, isotonic saline, 1,3- butanediol, fatty acids (such as oleic acid), mono- and diglycerides or miglyol. For rectal use there can be used all suitable non-irritating additives which are solid at normal temperatures and liquid at rectal temperatures, such as e.g. cocoa butter and polyethylene glycol. Pharmaceutically usual carrier media are used for appUcation as aerosols. Creams, tinctures, gels, solutions or suspensions etc. with the pharmaceutically usual additives are used for external application. The dosage can depend n a variety of factors such as mode of administration, species, age and/or individual condition. The doses to be administered daily or at intervals lie at 1- 1000 mg/individual, preferably at 10-250 mg/individual, and can be taken at one time or divided over several times.
The compounds of formula (I) can also be applied locally to/in the bones (optionally with surgical intervention). The application directly to/in the bones (optionally with surgical intervention) can be effected locally or carrier-bonded either in solution or suspension, conveniendy by infusion or injection. Carrier-bonded compounds of formula (I) can be administered, for example, as gels, pastes, solids or as a coating on implants.
Biocompatible and preferably biodegradable materials are used as the carrier. Preferably, the materials themselves also induce wound healing or osteogenesis.
For local application it is preferred that the compounds of formula (I) are imbedded in polymer gels or films in order to immobilize them and to apply these preparations directly on the site of the bone to be treated. Such polymer-based gels or films consist, for example, of glycerine, methylcellulose, hyaluronic acid, polyethylene oxides and/or poloxamers. Also suitable are collagen, gelatines and alginates and are described, for example, in WO 93/00050 and WO 93/20859. Further polymers are polylactic acid (PLA) and copolymers of lactic acid and glycolic acid (PLPG) (Hollinger el al., J. Biomed. Mater. Res. 17 71-82 (1983)) as well as the bone derivative "Demineralized
Bone Matrix" (DBM) (Guterman et al. Kollagen Rel. Res. 8 419-4319 (1988). Also suitable are polymers as are used, for example, for the adsorption of TGFβ and which are described in EP-A 0616 814 and EP-A-0 567391 and synthetic bone matrices in accordance with WO 91/18558.
Likewise suitable as carriers for the compounds of formula (I) are materials which are usually used for the implantation of bone substitutes or otherwise of therapeutically active substances. Such carriers are based, for example, on calcium sulphate, tricalcium phosphate, hydroxylapatite (sic) and its biodegradable derivatives and polyanhydrides. Apart from these biodegradable carriers there are also suitable carriers which are not biodegradable, but which are biocompatible. Such carriers are, for example, sintered hydroxylapatite, bioglass, aluminates or other ceramic materials (e.g. calcium aluminium phosphate). These materials are preferably used in combination with the biodegradable materials, such as especially polylactic acid, hydroxylapatite, collagen or tricalcium phosphate. Further non-degradable carriers are described, for example, in US Patent 4,164,560.
It is especially preferred to use a carrier which liberates the compounds of formula (I) continuously at the target site. Especially suitable for this are e.g. "slow release pellets" from Innovative Research of America, Toledo, Ohio, USA. Pellets which release the compounds of formula (I) over several days, preferably up to 100 days with a daily dosage of 1-10 mg/kg per day, are especially preferred.
Preferred in the scope of the present invention are, apart form the compounds named in the Examples and compounds derivable by a combination of all of the significances of the substituents set forth in the claims, the following derivatives as well as their physiologically compatible salts, esters, optically active forms, racemates, tautomers as well as derivatives which can be metabolized in vivo to compounds of general formula (I), as well as the use of these compounds for the production of medicaments,
