Q *SS6S S S HOECHST AKTIENGESELLSCHAFT HOE 91/F 079 Dr.FI/pl Description Mixed pyridine-2,4- and -2,5-dicarboxamides, a process for preparing them, the use thereof and pharmaceuticals based on these compounds Compounds which inhibit proline hydroxylase and lysine hydroxylase effect a very selective inhibition of collagen biosynthesis due to influencing collagenspecific hydroxylation reactions. In the course thereof, protein-bound proline or lysine is hydroxylated by the enzymes proline hydroxylase or lysine hydroxylase respectively. If this reaction is suppressed by inhibitors, the resulting collagen molecule is unable to 15 function, is insufficiently hydroxylated and can be released by the cells only in small amounts into the eeo. extracellular space. The insufficiently hydroxylated collagen cannot, moreover, be incorporated in the collagen matrix and is very easily broken down by proteolysis. The consequence of these effects is an overall reduction in the amount of collagen deposited in the extracellular space.
It is known that inhibition of proline hydroxylase by known inhibitors such as a,a'-dipyridyl results in us inhibition of C1' biosynthesis by macrophages MUller et al., FEBS Lett. 90 (1978), 218; Immunobiology 155 (1978), 47). This results in the classical pathway of complement activation becoming inoperative. Hence inhibitors of proline hydroxylase act as immunosuppres- 30 sants, for example in immune complex diseases.
It is known that proline hydroxylase can be effectively inhibited by pyridine-2,4- and -2,5-dicarboxylic acids Mayama et al., Eur. J. Biochem. 138 (1984) 239-245).
However, in cell culture, these compounds are effective inhibitors only in very high concentrations (Tschank, G.
2 et al., Biochem. J. 238 (1987) 625-633).
DE-A 34 32 094 describes pyridine-2,4- and dicarboxylic disesters with 1-6 carbon atoms in the ester alkyl moiety as pharmaceuticals for the inhibition of proline hydroxylase and lysine hydroxylase.
These lower alkylated diesters have the disadvantage, however, that they are too rapidly cleaved in the body to the acids and do not reach their site of action in the cell in sufficiently high concentration and thus are less suitable for possible administration as pharmaceuticals.
DE-A 37 03 959, DE-A 37 03 362 and DE-A 37 03 963 describe in a general form mixed esters/amides, higher alkylated diesters and diamides of pyridine-2,4- and 2 ,5-dicarboxylic acids which are effective inhibitors of Sg. 15 collagen biosynthesis in animal models.
Thus, DE-A 37 03 959 describes, inter alia, the synthesis of N,N'-bis(2-methoxyethyl)pyridine-2,4-dicarboxamide and N,N'-bis(3-isopropoxypropyl)pyridine-2,4-dicarboxamide.
GermanPatent Applications P 38 26 471.4 and P 38 28 140.6 propose an improved process for preparing N,N'-bis(2methoxyethyl)pyridine-2,4-dicarboxamide. German Patent Application P 39 24 093.2 proposes novel N,N'bis(alkoxyalkyl)pyridine-2,4-dicarboxamides.
e The object to be achieved was thus to find compounds which are suitable in a much improved manner than those hitherto disclosed for the inhibition of proline hydroxylase and lysine hydroxylase.

In the case of multiple substitutions the substituents can also be independently different from one another.
All alkyl and alkenyl radicals mentioned with more than 2 carbon atoms and all alkynyl radicals with more than 3 "*25 carbon atoms can be both straight-chain and branched.
The invention further relates to the compounds of the formula I for use as pharmaceuticals. The invention additionally relates to the compounds of the formula I for use as fibrosuppressants and immunosuppressants and for the inhibition of proline hydroxylase and lysine hydroxylase and for influencing the metabolism of 7 collagen and collagen-like substances and the biosynthesis of Cl. Inhibitors of proline hydroxylase are suitable tools in the therapy of diseases in which the deposition of collagens makes a crucial contribution to the clinical picture. These include, inter alia, fibroses of the lungs, liver and skin (scleroderma) and atherosclerosis.
The pyridine-2,4- and -2,5-dicarboxamides of the formula I which are substituted exclusively in position 4 or 5 in the amide group show a considerable and surprising improved activity in inhibiting proline hydroxylase and lysine hydroxylase in animal experiments compared with the pyridine-2,4-dicarboxamides substituted in position also by carboxamide groups from DE-A-3 707 429 and 15 compared with the pyridine-2,4- and S. substituted in both amide groups of DE-A 37 039 59.

2 10 In stage 1, commercially available pyridine-2,4dicarboxylic acid is converted into its dicarbonyl dihalide, preferably its dichloride, and reacted with an optionally substituted benzyl alcohol to give dibenzyl pyridine-2,4-dicarboxylate.
In stage 2, the diester is selectively hydrolyzed in position 2, for example in the presence of a copper salt as described by Delarge, Phar. Acta. Helv. 44 637 (1969).
The free acid functionality in position 2 is subsequently converted in stage 3 into the corresponding acid chloride and reacted with an alcohol such as, for example, methyl or ethyl alcohol to give the corresponding 2-carboxylic ester.
*oo C C 15 The remaining benzyl protective group in position 4 is S*eliminated by hydrogenolysis in stage 4 (for example with
H
2 /Pd, Houben-Weyl: Vol. IV/lc (1980), pp. 381 82).
The free acid in position 4 (formula II) is converted into its acid halide, preferably chloride. The acid chloride can now be converted with the amine of the formula (III) into the mixed pyridine-4-carboxamide-2carboxylic ester (IV).
The mixed diamide of the formula is prepared from the 2-carboxylic ester (IV) with alcoholic ammonia solution (for example in methanol).
The said process, which has been described in the reaction diagram for the compounds substituted in position 4, also applies to the compounds correspondingly substituted in position It is possible where appropriate for the products to be worked up, for example, by extraction or by chromatography, for example on silica gel. The isolated products 11 can be recrystallized and, where appropriate, reacted with a suitable acid to give a physiologically tolerated salt. Examples of suitable acids are: mineral acids such as hydrochloric and hydrobromic acid and sulfuric, phosphoric, nitric or perchloric acid or organic acids such as formic, acetic, propionic, succinic, glycolic, lactic, malic, tartaric, citric, maleic, fumaric, phenylacetic, benzoic, methanesulfonic, toluenesulfonic, oxalic, 4-aminobenzoic, disulfonic or ascorbic acid.
The starting compounds of the formula (III) which cannot be bought can be synthesized straightforwardly (for example Organikum, Organisch Chemisches Grundpraktikum, edition, VEB Deutscher Verlag der Wissenschaften, 15 1976; a summary of the various possibilities is to be found in the methods index, p. 822).
The compounds of the formula I according to the invention 0. have valuable pharmacological properties and, in particular, display activity as inhibitors of proline hydroxylase and lysine hydroxylase, as fibrosuppressant and immunosuppressant.
The activity of the fibrogenase can be determined by radioimmunological determination of the N-terminal propeptide of collagen type III or of the N- or Cterminal crosslinking domain of collagen type IV (7s collagen or type IV collagen NC 1 in serum.
For this purpose, the hydroxyproline, procollagen III peptide, 7s collagen and type IV collagen NCi concentrations were measured in the liver of a) untreated rats (control) b) rats given tetrachloromethane (CCl 4 control) c) rats given first CC14 and then a compound according to the invention (this test method is described by Rouille-, C., experimental toxic injury of the liver; in The 12 Liver, C. Rouiller, Vol. 2, pp. 335-476, New York, Academic Press, 1964).
By reason of these pharmacological properties, the compounds according to the invention are suitable for the treatment of disorders of the metabolism of collagen and collagen-like substances and for the treatment of disorders of the biosynthesis of Cl1 The invention therefore further relates to the use of the compounds of the formula I according to the invention, and of the physiologically tolerated salts thereof, for the treatment of the abovementioned metabolic disorders.
The compounds can be used as pharmaceuticals either alone or mixed with physiologically tolerated auxiliaries or we** vehicles. They can be administered for this purpose 15 orally in doses of 0.01 25.0 mg/kg/day, preferably 0.01 5.0 mg/kg/day or parenterally in doses of 0.001 Smg/kg/day, preferably 0.001 2.5 mg/kg/day, especially to 0.005 1.0 mg/kg/day. It is also possible to increase the dosage in severe cases. However, lower doses also suffice in many cases. These data relate to an adult weighing about 75 kg.
The invention also embraces the use of- the compounds according to the invention for preparing pharmaceuticals which are employed for the treatment and prophylaxis of the abovementioned metabolic disorders.
The invention additionally relates to pharmaceuticals which contain one or more compounds of the formula I according to the invention and/or their physiologically tolerated salts.
The pharmaceuticals are producing by processes known per se and familiar to the person skilled in the art. As pharmaceuticals, the pharmacologically active compounds active substance) according to the invention are 13 employed either as such or, preferably, in combination with suitable pharmaceutical auxiliaries or vehicles in the form of tablets, coated tablets, capsules, suppositories, emulsions, suspensions or solutions, where the content of active substance is up to 95 advantageously between 10 to 75 Suitable auxiliaries and vehicles for the required pharmaceutical formulation are, for example, besides solvents, gel formers, suppository bases, tableting auxiliaries and other active substance vehicles, also antioxidants, dispersants, emulsifiers, form suppressants, flavorings,, preservatives, solubilizers or colorants.
The active substances can be administered orally, goo 15 parenterally or rectally.
o e The active compounds are mixed with the additives suitable for this, such as vehicles, stabilizers or iner diluents, and converted by the usual methods into suitable dosage forms such as tablets, coated tablets, hard gelatin capsules, aqueous alcoholic or oily suspensions or aqueous or oily solutions. Examples of inert vehicles which can be used are gum arabic, magnesia, magnesium carbonate, potassium phosphate, lactose, glucose or starch, especially corn starch. The .25 preparation can be carried out either as dry or as wet granules. Examples of suitable oily vehicles or solvents are vegetable or animal oils, such as sunflower oil or fish liver oil.
9*o For subcutaneous or intravenous administration, the active compounds are, if required, converted into a solution, suspension or emulsion with the substances suitable for this purpose, such as solubilizers, emulsifiers or other auxiliaries. Examples of suitable solvents are physiological saline or alcohols, for example ethanol, propanol, glycerol, as well as sugar -14 solutions such as glucose or mannitol solutions, or else a mixture of the various solvents mentioned.
The invention is explained in more detail hereinafter by means of examples.
General procedure for the preparation of the compounds 1 mmol of methyl pyridine-4-carboxamide-2-carboxylate (IV) is dissolved in 30 ml of saturated methanolic amimonia solution and stirred at room temperature for 2 hours. The solution is concentrated and the residue is stirred with diisopropyl ether and filtered of f with suction.

COMPARATIVE EXAMPLE 1 Comparison tests have been carried out between the compound of Example 4 of the instant application (4-N-(2-methoxyethyl)-pyridine-2-carboxamide- 4-carboxamide) and the compound of Example 19 of AU-B-599746 (N,N'-Bis (2methoxyethyl) pyridine 2,4 dicarboxamide).
A further comparison was carried out between the compound of Example of the instant application (3-methoxypropyl) -pyridine-2-carboxamide-4carboxamide) and N,N' -Bis (3-methoxypropyl) -pyridine-2, 4-dicarboxamide, called Example 0 hereinafter.
The compounds of the instant invention have to be taken up by the liver.
Compounds which are slowly taken up from the liver (high t 1 /2-value) have a longer duration of action than those with a fast up-take (low tl/2-value). In the following it is shown that the compounds of the instant invention surprisingly have higher ti/2-values than the compounds disclosed by AU-B-599746.
Method: The isolated perfused rat liver: Uptake of prolylhydroxvlase proinhibitors.
Non-fasted female rats, 200-300 g, (number: N) were anaesthetized with pentobarbital (5 mg/100 g After cannulation of the portal vein, the liver was washed with 100 ml heparinized (5 IU/ml) saline of 370C for 3 minutes while the outflow occurred via the incised caudal vena cava. Subsequently, the organ was excised and connected to the perfusion apparatus and perfused with recirculating medium (100 ml) for 2 hours, 30 ml/min. Perfusion medium was I KRB* with bovine erythrocytes. Bovine blood was mixed with a citrate solution S 25 1:1 immediately in the slaughterhouse. This mixture was centrifuged minutes (6000 U/min) and the supernatant removed. The same procedure was repeated once with saline and twice with KRB. The final perfusion medium contained 33.3% of the erythrocyte sediment and 66.7% of KRB (ref.: 1).

The discharge tube was elongated and the lower end of this tube was connected to a peristaltic pump. On the return of the perfusate to the organ, it passed through a heat exchanger (glass spiral) which maintained the temperature of the perfusate at 370C. The perfusate in the bottom of the cylinder was bubbled with ml gas/minute, CO 2 /0 2 mixture To avoid foam formation, 14 pl/ml 0.1% Genapol PF-10 had been added to the perfusate. Samples for analysis were withdrawn from the perfusate at a location before the perfusate entered the liver at the time points given below.
Treatments: The test compounds were added to the liver perfusate 10 minutes before mounting the liver into the perfusion apparatus in a concentration of 50 gg/ml, 3 to 5 livers were perfused for each compound.
S 25 After 0, 15, 30, 45, 60, 90 and 120 minutes, aliquots of 0.5 ml were S withdrawn from the perfusate, and the erythrocytes were removed by centrifugation. The supernatant (100 IlI) was mixed with 50 pi meta-phosphoric acid, centrifuged, and the supernatant analyzed by HPLC (Co and Ct values).
Statistical methods: Analysis of linear regression was performed after 30 log-transformation of the concentration of the compounds found in the perfusate.
Half-life times were calculated from the regression lines (ref.: according to the formula: ti/2 ((log(10co/2))-Co)/Ai [minutes] Schimassek, "Metabolite des Kohlenhydratstoffwechsels der isoliertperfundierten Rattenleber, Bihm 336:460-467 (1963).
