Abstract
The compounds of formula (I) are hydrophilic aryl phosphate, thiophosphate, and aminophosphate intestinal apical membrane Na-mediated phosphate co-transportation inhibitors. The compounds can be administered orally, where they act to inhibit Na-dependent phosphate uptake in the intestines, or internally, where they interact with the phosphate control functions of the kidneys and parathyroid. They are therefore useful for inhibiting sodium-mediated phosphate uptake, reducing serum PTH, calcium, calcitriol, and phosphate, and treating renal disease in an animal, including a human.

A compound of formula (I):
- where:
- A1 and A2 are the same or different aryl groups collectively bearing at least one hydrophilic substituent;
- E1 and E2 are the same or different and are O, S, or NR2 (where R2 is H or a linear or branched C1-C20 carbon containing group);
- M is H or a pharmaceutically acceptable monovalent cation;
- R1 is a linear or branched, saturated or unsaturated, C1-C20 carbon containing group;
- Z is a single bond, a carbonyl, CE3E4, or CR3E41, where E3 and E4 are the same or different and are OR4, SR41, and NR42, where
- R3 is a linear or branched C1-C20 carbon containing group, and
- R4 is H or a linear or branched C1-C20 carbon containing group;
- and
- n is 0 or 1, or a pharmaceutically acceptable salt thereof,
- provided that, when E1 is O and when Z is a carbonyl and when A1 is a phenyl ring and when E1 is at the 2-position of the phenyl ring A1, A1 is not further substituted in the 4- and 6-positions of the phenyl ring A1 with OR5 groups (where R5 is a carbon containing group having between 1 and 4 carbon atoms);
- and
- further provided that the compound is not 4′-phosphophloretin or a pharmaceutically acceptable salt thereof.
A medication comprising a carrier and a therapeutically effective amount of a compound of formula (I):
- where:
- A1 and A2 are the same or different aryl groups collectively bearing at least one hydrophilic substituent;
- E1 and E2 are the same or different and are O, S, or NR2 (where R2 is H or a linear or branched C1-C20 carbon containing group);
- M is H or a pharmaceutically acceptable monovalent cation;
- R1 is a linear or branched, saturated or unsaturated, C1-C20 carbon containing group;
- Z is a single bond, a carbonyl, CE3E4, or CR3E4, where E3 and E4 are the same or different and are OR4, SR4, and NR42, where
- R3 is a linear or branched C1-C20 carbon containing group, and
- R4 is H or a linear or branched C1-C20 carbon containing group;
- and
- n is 0 or 1, or a pharmaceutically acceptable salt thereof,
- provided that, when E1 is O and when Z is a carbonyl and when A1 is a phenyl ring and when E1 is at the 2-position of the phenyl ring A1, A1 is not further substituted in the 4- and 6-positions of the phenyl ring A1 with OR5 groups (where R5 is a carbon containing group having between 1 and 4 carbon atoms).
A method of inhibiting sodium-mediated phosphate uptake, reducing serum PTH, calcium, calcitriol, or phosphate, or treating renal disease, said method comprising administration of a compound of formula (I):
- where:
- A1 and A2 are the same or different aryl groups collectively bearing at least one hydrophilic substituent;
- E1 and E2 are the same or different and are O, S, or NR2 (where R2 is H or a linear or branched C1-C20 carbon containing group);
- M is H or a pharmaceutically acceptable monovalent cation;
- R1 is a linear or branched, saturated or unsaturated, C1-C20 carbon containing group;
- Z is a single bond, a carbonyl, CE3E4, or CR3E4, where E3 and E4 are the same or different and are OR4, SR4, and NR42, where
- R3 is a linear or branched C1-C20 carbon containing group, and
- R4 is H or a linear or branched C1-C20 carbon containing group;
- and
- n is 0 or 1, or a pharmaceutically acceptable salt thereof.
A process for preparing a compound of Formula I:
- where:
- A1 and A2 are the same or different aryl groups collectively bearing at least one hydrophilic substituent;
- E1 and E2 are the same or different and are O, S, or NR2 (where R2 is H or a linear or branched C1-C20, carbon containing group);
- M is H or a pharmaceutically acceptable monovalent cation;
- R1 is a linear or branched, saturated or unsaturated, C1-C20 carbon containing group;
- Z is a single bond, a carbonyl, CE3E4, or CR3E4, where E3 and E4 are the same or different and are OR4, SR4, and NR42, where
- R3 is a linear or branched C1-C20 carbon containing group, and
- R4 is H or a linear or branched C1-C20 carbon containing group;
- and
- n is 0 or 1, or a pharmaceutically acceptable salt thereof,
- provided that the compound is not 4′-phosphophloretin or a pharmaceutically acceptable salt thereof,
- said process comprising:
- (a) phosphorylating a compound of the formula E1—A1—Z-R1—A2—(E)n and which either contains or does not contain one or more protecting groups to yield any one of the compounds (I) through (Ig);
- or
- (b) if R1 is an unsaturated group, hydrogenating it;
- or
- (c) cleaving any protecting groups in a compound of Formula I to liberate free hydroxyl or phosphate groups;
- or
- (d) converting a compound of Formula I to a pharmaceutically acceptable salt;
- or
- (e) converting a salt of a compound of Formula I to a compound of Formula I;
- or
- (f) converting a salt of a compound of Formula I to a pharmaceutically acceptable salt of a compound of Formula I;
- or
- (g) converting a substituent in A1 or A2 to another substituent.
