Description

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION

(1) The present compounds of formula (1) differ from prior art compounds particularly in that the pyranose ring is α-D-galactopyranose. It is important to emphasize that alpha and beta anomers are very different isomers and it is by no means considered to be obvious to the skilled person to expect same or similar activity of both anomers. Consequently, alpha and beta anomers do not in general posses the same activity, and this is common knowledge to the skilled person. The compounds of the present invention are novel α-D-galactopyranose compounds that unexpectedly have shown very high affinity and specificity for galectin-1, and are considered novel potent drug candidates. Some of the novel α-D-galactopyranose compounds have both galectin-1 and galectin-3 affinity and, as such have a broader disease treatment profile compared to selective galectin-1 inhibitors.

(2) In a broad aspect, the present invention concerns a compound of the above formula (1) wherein R.sup.1 and B.sup.1 are as defined. Below are described further embodiments.

(3) In an embodiment R.sup.1 is

(4) ##STR00025## wherein the asterix * indicates the carbon atom of the heteroaromatic ring that is covalently attached to the triazole group of formula (1); wherein R.sup.2 is selected from the group consisting of OH and halogen; and R.sup.3 is selected from the group consisting of hydrogen (H), C.sub.1-6 alkyl and halogen.

(5) In an embodiment R.sup.2 is selected from the group consisting of OH, chloro, bromo and fluoro. In a preferred embodiment R.sup.2 is OH. In another preferred embodiment R.sup.2 is Cl. In a further preferred embodiment R.sup.2 is Br. In a still further preferred embodiment R.sup.2 is F.

(6) In a further embodiment R.sup.3 is selected from the group consisting of hydrogen, C.sub.1-6 alkyl and halogen.

(7) In another embodiment R.sup.2 is OH, and R.sup.3 is selected from the group consisting of hydrogen, C.sub.1-6 alkyl and halogen. When R.sup.2 is OH and R.sup.3 is H then depending on conditions such as acidic or basic the OH group may be on the oxo tautomer form.

(8) In a further embodiment R.sup.2 is halogen, and R.sup.3 is selected from the group consisting of hydrogen and halogen. Typically, R.sup.2 is halogen, and R.sup.3 is H. In a further embodiment both R.sup.2 and R.sup.3 are halogen, such as Cl or F.

(9) The above compounds wherein R.sup.1 is formula 2 have high affinity to both galectin-1 and galectin-3.

(10) In a further embodiment R.sup.1 is

(11) ##STR00026## wherein the asterix * indicates the carbon atom of the heteroaromatic ring that is covalently attached to the triazole group of formula (1); wherein R.sup.4 is selected from the group consisting of OH and halogen, preferably F, Cl, and Br; and R.sup.5 is selected from the group consisting of hydrogen, C.sub.1-6 alkyl and halogen. In a preferred embodiment R.sup.4 is OH.

(12) In an embodiment R.sup.4 is OH and R.sup.5 is selected from the group consisting of hydrogen, C.sub.1-6 alkyl and halogen. When R.sup.4 is OH in the present compounds of formula (1) wherein R.sup.1 is 3, data have shown that such compounds have galectin 1 selectivity, and in particular when R.sup.4 is OH and R.sup.5 is H, then such compounds are highly selective galectin-1 inhibitors.

(13) In a further embodiment R.sup.4 is halogen and R.sup.5 is selected from the group consisting of hydrogen, C.sub.1-6 alkyl and halogen. Typically, R.sup.4 is selected from C.sub.1 and F. In a further embodiment R.sup.4 is selected from Cl and F and R.sup.5 is H.

(14) In a further embodiment B.sup.1 is selected from phenyl optionally substituted with a group selected from halogen, SC.sub.1-3 alkyl, optionally substituted with a F; C.sub.1-6 alkyl and CN.

(15) In a still further embodiment B.sup.1 is selected from a phenyl substituted with one, two or three substituents selected from Cl, F, Br, CF.sub.3, SCF.sub.3, CH.sub.3, and CN. Typically, the phenyl is substituted with at least 2 Cl, such as 3 Cl or 2 Cl and one F. In another embodiment the phenyl is substituted with one C.sub.1 and one F. In a further embodiment the phenyl is substituted with at least one Br, such as two Br and one F, or one Br and one CN. In a still further embodiment phenyl is substituted with one halogen, such as Cl, and one substituent selected from CF.sub.3, SCF.sub.3, and CH.sub.3.

(16) In a further embodiment B.sup.1 is selected from phenyl optionally substituted with a group selected from halogen and —CONR.sup.35R.sup.36, wherein R.sup.35 and R.sup.36 are independently selected from H, C.sub.1-3 alkyl, cyclopropyl, and iso-propyl.

In another embodiment B.sup.1 is selected from phenyl substituted with a group selected from halogen, such as Cl, and —CONR.sup.35R.sup.36, wherein R.sup.35 and R.sup.36 are independently selected from H and C.sub.1-3 alkyl, such as methyl. Thus, in one example is selected from phenyl substituted with one halogen, such as Cl, and one —CONR.sup.35R.sup.36, wherein R.sup.35 and R.sup.36 are both methyl.

(17) In a further embodiment B.sup.1 is selected from a pyridinyl, optionally substituted with a group selected from a halogen; —COOH; —CONR.sup.35R.sup.36, wherein R.sup.35 and R.sup.36 are independently selected from H, C.sub.1-3 alkyl, cyclopropyl, and iso-propyl; isopropyl, optionally substituted with a F; CN; and a methyl optionally substituted with a F.

In other individual embodiments the substituents are Cl and CONH.sub.2, Cl and COOH, Br and isopropyl.

(19) In a further embodiment B.sup.1 is selected from a pyridinyl substituted with a group selected from halogen, such as Cl, and —CONR.sup.35R.sup.36, wherein R.sup.35 and R.sup.36 are independently selected from H and C.sub.1-3 alkyl, such as methyl. Thus, in one example B is selected from pyridinyl substituted with one halogen, such as Cl, and one —CONR.sup.35R.sup.36, wherein R.sup.35 and R.sup.36 are both methyl.
