2,3 disubstituded-4(3H)-quinazolinones

Description

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION

The present invention relates to novel compounds of the formula I, described below, and their pharmaceutically acceptable salts, and pharmaceutical compositions and methods of treating neurodegenerative and CNS-trauma related conditions.

The compounds of the invention are potent AMPA receptor antagonists. AMPA receptors are a subspecies of glutamate receptors, identified by their ability to bind α-amino-3-hydroxy-5methyl-4-isoxazolepropionic acid (AMPA), that are implicated as post-synaptic neurotransmitter receptors for excitatory amino acids.

The role of excitatory amino acids, such as glutamic acid and aspartic acid, as the predominant mediators of excitatory synaptic transmission in the central nervous system has been well established. Watkins & Evans,

Ann. Rev. Pharmacol. Toxicol

., 21, 165 (1981); Monaghan, Bridges, and Cotman,

Ann. Rev. Pharmacol. Toxicol

., 29, 365 (1989); Watkins, Krogsgaard-Larsen, and Honore,

Trans. Pharm. Sci

., 11, 25 (1990). These amino acids function in synaptic transmission primarily through excitatory amino acid receptors. These amino acids and their receptors also participate in a variety of other physiological processes such as motor control, respiration, cardiovascular regulation, sensory perception, and cognition.

Excitatory amino acid receptors are classified into two general types. Receptors that are directly coupled to the opening of cation channels in the cell membrane of the neurons are termed “ionotropic.” This type of receptor has been subdivided into at least three subtypes, which are defined by the depolarizing actions of the selective agonists N-methyl-D-aspartate (NMDA), α-amino-3-hydroxy-5methylisoxazole-4-propionic acid (AMPA), and kainic acid (KA). The second general type is the G-protein or second messenger-linked “metabotropic” excitatory amino acid receptor. This second type, when activated by the agonists quisqualate, ibotenate, or trans-1-aminocyclopentane-1,3-dicarboxylic acid, leads to enhanced phosphoinosoitide hydrolysis in the postsynaptic cell. Both types of receptors appear not only to mediate normal synaptic transmission along excitatory pathways, but also participate in the modification of synaptic connection during development and changes in the efficiency of synaptic transmission throughout life. Schoepp, Bockaert, and Sladeczek.

The excessive or inappropriate stimulation of excitatory amino acid receptors leads to neuronal cell damage or loss by way of a mechanism known as excitotoxicity. This process has been suggested to mediate neuronal degeneration in a variety of conditions. The medical consequences of such neuronal degeneration makes the abatement of these degenerative neurological processes an important therapeutic goal.

Excitatory amino acid excitotoxicity has been implicated in the pathophysiology of a number of neurological disorders. This excitotoxicity has been implicated in the pathophysiology of acute and chronic neurodegenerative conditions including cerebral deficits subsequent to cardiac bypass surgery and grafting, stroke, cerebral ischemia, spinal cord trauma, head trauma, Alzheimer's Disease, Huntington's Chorea, amyotrophic lateral sclerosis, epilepsy, AIDS-induced dementia, perinatal hypoxia, hypoxia (such as conditions caused by strangulation, surgery, smoke inhalation, asphyxiation, drowning, choking, electrocution or drug or alcohol overdose), cardiac arrest, hypoglycemic neuronal damage, ocular damage and retinopathy, and idiopathic and drug-induced Parkinson's Disease. Other neurological conditions, that are caused by glutamate dysfunction, require neuromodulation. These other neurological conditions include muscular spasms, migraine headaches, urinary incontinence, psychosis, addiction withdrawal (such as alcoholism and drug addiction including opiate, cocaine and nicotine addiction), opiate tolerance, anxiety, emesis, brain edema, chronic pain, convulsions, retinal neuropathy, tinnitus and tardive dyskinesia. The use of a neuro-protective agent, such as an AMPA receptor antagonist, is believed to be useful in treating these disorders and/or reducing the amount of neurological damage associated with these disorders. The EAA antagonists are also useful as analgesic agents.

Several studies have shown that AMPA receptor antagonists are neuroprotective in focal and global ischemia models. The competitive AMPA receptor antagonist NBQX (2,3-dihydroxy-6-nitro-7-sulfamoylbenzo[f-]quinoxaline) has been reported effective in preventing global and focal ischemic damage. Sheardown et al.,

Neuroreport

, 2, 473 (1991); LePeillet et al.,

Brain Research

, 571, 115 (1992). The noncompetitive AMPA receptor antagonists GKYI 52466 has been shown to be an effective neuroprotective agent in rat global ischemia models. LaPeillet et al.,

Brain Research

, 671, 115 (1992). These studies strongly suggest that the delayed neuronal degeneration in brain ischemia involves glutamate excitotoxicity mediated at least in part by AMPA receptor activation. Thus, AMPA receptor antagonists may prove useful as neuroprotective agents and improve the neurological outcome of cerebral ischemia in humans.

When R

is heteroaryl, one of ordinary skill In the art will understand that heteroaryl is selected from the group consisting of pyridin-2-yl, 1,3-pyrazin-4-yl, 1,4-pyrazin-3-yl, 1,3-pyrazin-2-yl, pyrrol-2yl, 1,3-imidazol-4-yl, 1,3-imidazol-2-yl, 1,3,4-triazol-2-yl, 1,3-oxazol-4-yl, 1,3-oxazol-2-yl, 1,3-thiazol-2-yl, 1,3thiazol-2-yl, 1,2,4-oxadiazol-3-yl, 1,2,4oxadiazol-5-yl, fur-2-yl, 1,3-oxazol-5-yl, and 1,3,4-oxadiazol-2-yl, wherein said heteroaryl may optionally be substituted on any of the atoms capable of forming an additional bond, up to a maximum of three substituents.

The compounds of the formula I which are basic in nature are capable of forming a wide variety of different salts with various inorganic and organic acids. Although such salts must be pharmaceutically acceptable for administration to animals, it is often desirable in practice to initially isolate a compound of the formula I from the reaction mixture as a pharmaceutically unacceptable salt and then simply convert the latter back to the free base compound by treatment with an alkaline reagent, and subsequently convert the free base to a pharmaceutically acceptable acid addition salt. The acid addition salts of the base compounds of this invention are readily prepared by treating the base compound with a substantially equivalent amount of the chosen mineral or organic acid in an aqueous solvent medium or in a suitable organic solvent such as methanol or ethanol. Upon careful evaporation of the solvent, the desired solid salt is obtained.

The acids which are used to prepare the pharmaceutically acceptable acid addition salts of the base compounds of this invention are those which form non-toxic acid addition salts, i.e., salts containing pharmacologically acceptable anions, such as hydrochloride, hydrobromide, hydroiodide, nitrate, sulfate or bisulfate, phosphate or acid phosphate, acetate, lactate, citrate or acid citrate, tartrate or bitartrate, succinate, maleate, fumarate, gluconate, saccharate, benzoate, methanesulfonate and pamoate i.,e., 1,1′-methylene-bis-(2-hydroxy-3-naphthoate)] salts.

Those compounds of the formula I which are acidic in nature are capable of forming base salts with various pharmacologically acceptable cations. Examples of such salts include the alkali metal or alkaline-earth metal salts and particular, the sodium and potassium salts. These salts are all prepared by conventional techniques. The chemical bases which are used as reagents to prepare the pharmaceutically acceptable base salts of this invention are those which form non-toxic base salts with the herein described acidic compounds of formula I. These non-toxic base salts include those derived from such pharmacologically acceptable cations as sodium, potassium calcium and magnesium, etc. These salts can easily be prepared by treating the corresponding acidic compounds with an aqueous solution containing the desired pharmacologically acceptable cations, and then evaporating the resulting solution to dryness, preferably under reduced pressure. Altematively, they may also be prepared by mixing lower alkanolic solutions of the acidic compounds and the desired alkali metal alkoxide together, and then evaporating the resulting solution to dryness in the same manner as before. In either case, stoichiometric quantities of reagents are preferably employed in order to ensure completeness of reaction of maximum product of yields of the desired final product.

The compounds of the formula I and the pharmaceutically acceptable salts thereof (hereinafter, also referred to as the active compounds of the invention) are useful for the treatment of neurodegenerative and CNS-trauma related conditions and are potent AMPA receptor antagonists. The active compounds of the invention may therefore be used in the treatment or prevention of cerebral deficits subsequent to cardiac bypass surgery and grafting, stroke, cerebral ischemia, spinal cord trauma, head trauma, Alzheimer's Disease, Huntington's Chorea, amyotrophic lateral sclerosis, epilepsy, AlDS-induced demential, muscular spasms, migraine headaches, urinary incontinence, psychosis, convulsions, perinatal hypoxia, hypoxia (such as conditions caused by strangulation, surgery, smoke inhalation, asphyxiation, drowning, choking, electrocution or drug or alcohol overdose), cardiac arrest, hypoglycemic neuronal damage, opiate tolerance, addiction withdrawal (such as alcoholism and drug addiction including opiate, cocaine and nicotine addiction), ocular damage, retinopathy, retinal neuropathy, tinnitus, idiopathic and drug induced Parkinson's Disease, anxiety, emesis, brain edema, chronic or acute pain, or tardive dyskinesia.

The in vitro and in vivo activity of the compounds of the invention for AMPA receptor antagonism can be determined by methods available to one of ordinary skill in the art. One method for determining the activity of the compounds of the invention is by inhibition of pentylenetetrazol (PTZ)-induced seizures. Another method for determining the activity of the compounds of the invention is by blockage of AMPA receptor activation-induced

uptake.

One specific method for determining the activity of the compounds of the invention for inhibition of pentylenetetrazol (PTZ)-induced seizures in mice can be determined according to the following procedure. This assay examines the ability of compounds to block seizures and death produced by PTZ. Measures taken are latency to clonic and tonic seizures, and death. ID

50

s are determined based on percent protection.

Male CD-1 mice from Charles River, weighing 14-16 g on arrival and 25-35 g at the time of testing, serve as subjects for these experiments. Mice are housed 13 per cage under standard laboratory conditions on a L:D/7 a.m.: 7 p.m. lighting cycle for at least 7 days prior to experimentation. Food and water are available ad libitum until the time of testing.

All compounds are administered in a volume of 10 ml/kg. Drug vehicles will depend on compound solubility, but screening will typically be done using saline, distilled water, or E:D:S/5:5:90 (5% emulphor, 5% DMSO, and 90% saline) as the injection vehicle.

Mice are administered the test compounds or vehicle (i.p., s.c., or p.o.) and are placed into plexiglass cages in groups of five. At a predetermined time after these injections, mice are given an injection of PTZ (i.p., 120 mg/kg) and placed into individual plexiglass cages. Measures taken during this five minute test period are: (1) latency to clonic seizures, (2) latency to tonic seizures, and (3) latency to death. Treatment groups are compared to the vehicle-treated group by Kruskal-Wallis Anova and Mann-Whitney U tests (Statview). Percent protection is calculated for each group (number of subjects not showing seizure or death as indicated by a score of 300 secs) at each measure. ID

50

's are determined by probit analysis (Biostat).

Another method for determining the activity of the compounds is to determine the effect of the compounds on motor coordination in mice. This activity can be determined according to the following procedure.

Male CD-1 mice from Charies River, weighing 14-16 g on arrival and 23-35 g at the time of testing, serve as subjects for these experiments. Mice are housed 13 per cage under standard laboratory conditions on a L:D/7 a.m.: 7 p.m. lighting cycle for at least 7 days prior to experimentation. Food and water are available ad libitum until the time of testing.

All compounds are administered in a volume of 10 ml/kg. Drug vehicles will depend on compound solubility, but screening will typically be done using saline, distilled water, or E:D:S/5:5:90 (5% emulphor, 5% DMSO, and 90% saline) as the injection vehicle.

The apparatus used in these studies consists of a group of five 13.34×13.34 cm wire mesh squares suspended on 11.43 cm steel poles connected to a 165.1 cm pole which is elevated 38.1 cm above the lab bench. These wire mesh squares can be turned upside-down.

Mice are administered test compounds or vehicle (i.p., s.c., or p.o) and are placed into plexiglass cages in groups of five. At a predetermined time after these injections, mice are placed on top of the wire mesh squares and flipped so that they are suspended upside-down. During the one minute test, mice are rated 0 it they fall off the screen,m 1 if they hang on upside-down, or 2 If they climb up onto the top. Treatment groups are compared to the vehicle-treated group with Kruskal-Wallis and Mann-Whitney U tests (Statview).

uptake is described below.

Neuronal Primary Cultures

Primary cultures of rat cerebellar granule neurons are prepared as described by Parks, T. N., Artman, L. D., Alasti, N., and Nemeth, E. F., Modulation Of N-Methyl-D-Aspartate Receptor-Mediated Increases In Cytosolic Calcium In Cultured Rat Cerebellar Granule Cells,

Brain Res

. 552, 13-22 (1991). According to this method, cerebella are removed from 8 day old CD rats, minced into 1 mm pieces and incubated for 15 minutes at 37° C. in calcium-magnesium free Tyrode's solution containing 0.1% trypsin. The tissue is then triturated using a fine bore Pasteur pipette. The cell suspension is lated onto poly-D-lysine coated 96-well tissue culture plates at 10

The compositions of the present Invention may be formulated in a conventional manner using one or more pharmaceutically acceptable carriers. Thus, the active compounds of the invention may be formulated for oral, buccal, intranasal, parenteral (e.g., intravenous, intramuscular or subcutaneous), transdermal or rectal administration or in a form suitable for administration by inhalation or insufflation.

For oral administration, the pharmaceutical compositions may take the form of, for example, tablets or capsules prepared by conventional means with pharmaceutically acceptable excipients such as binding agents (e.g., pregelatinised maize starch, polyvinylpyrrolidone or hydroxypropyl methylcellulose); fillers (e.g., lactose, microcrystalline cellulose or calcium phosphate); lubricants (e.g., magnesium stearate, talc or silica); disintegrants (e.g., potato starch or sodium starch glycollate); or wetting agents (e.g., sodium lauryl sulphate). The tablets may be coated by methods well known in the art. Uquid preparations for oral administration may take the form of, for example, solutions, syrups or suspensions, or they may be presented as a dry product for constitution with water or other suitable vehicle before use. Such liquid preparations may be prepared by conventional means with pharmaceutically acceptable additives such as suspending agents (e.g., sorbitol syrup, methyl cellulose or hydrogenated edible fats); emulsifying agents (e.g., lecithin or acacia); non-aqueous vehicles (e.g., almond oil, oily esters or ethyl alcohol); and preservatives (e.g., ethyl or propyl p-hydroxybenzoates or sorbic acid).

For buccal administration the composition may take the form of tablets or lozenges formulated in conventional manner.

The active compounds of the invention may be formulated for parenteral administration by injection, including using conventional catheterization techniques or infusion. Formulations for injection may be presented in unit dosage form, e.g., in ampules or in multi-dose containers, with an added preservative. The compositions may take such forms as suspensions, solutions or emulsions in oily or aqueous vehicles, and may contain formulating agents such as suspending, stabilizing and/or dispersing agents. Alternatively, the active ingredient may be in powder form for reconstitution with a suitable vehicle, e.g., sterile pyrogen-free water, before use.

The active compounds of the invention may also be formulated in rectal compositions such as suppositories or retention enemas, e.g., containing conventional suppository bases such as cocoa butter or other glycerides.

For intranasal administration or administration by inhalation, the active compounds of the invention are conveniently delivered in the form of a solution or suspension from a pump spray container that is squeezed or pumped by the patient or as an aerosol spray presentation from a pressurized container or a nebulizer, with the use of a suitable propellant, e.g., dichlorodifluoromethane, trichlorofluoromethane, dichlorotetrafluoroethane, carbon dioxide or other suitable gas. In the case of a pressurized aerosol, the dosage unit may be determined by providing a valve to deliver a metered amount. The pressurized container or nebulizer may contain a solution or suspension of the active compound. Capsules and cartridges (made, for example, from gelatin) for use in an inhaler or insufflator may be formulated containing a powder mix of a compound of the invention and a suitable powder base such as lactose or starch.

A proposed dose of the active compounds of the invention for oral, parenteral or buccal administration to the average adult human for the treatment of the conditions referred to above (e.g., stroke) is 0.01 to 50 mg/kg of the active ingredient per unit dose which could be administered, for example, 1 to 4 times per day.

Aerosol formulations for treatment of the conditions referred to above (e.g., stroke) in the average adult human are preferably arranged so that each metered dose or “puff” of aerosol contains 20 μg to 1000 μg of the compound of the invention. The overall daily dose with an aerosol will be within the range 100 μg to 10 mg. Administration may be several times daily, for example 2, 3, 4 or 8 times, giving for example, 1, 2 or 3 doses each time.

The following Examples illustrate the preparation of the compounds of the present invention. Commercial reagents were utilized without further purification. Melting points are uncorrected. NMR data are reported in parts per million (δ) and are referenced to the deuterium lock signal from the sample solvent. Unless otherwise stated, all mass spectrum were performed using chemical impact conditions. Ambient or room temperature refers to 20-25° C.

EXAMPLE 1

3-(2-Chloro-phenyl)-6-fluoro-2-(2-pyridin-2-yl-ethyl)-3H-auinazolin-4-one Hydrochloride

A solution of 1.00 gram (2.65 mmol) of 3-(2-Chloro-phenyl)-6-fluoro-2-(2-pyridin-2-yl-vinyl)-3H-quinazolin-4-one in about 100 mL of ethyl acetate was treated with 0.5 gram of 10% Pd/C and the resulting mixture was hydrogenated at about 2 cm of Hg for two hours at which time uptake of hydrogen had ceased. The catalyst was filtered off with the aid of supercel (filteraid) and the ethyl acetated was removed by evaporation. The residues were dissovived in diethyl ether and treated with excess of a solution of HCl gas in diethyl ether. The product precipitated immediately and was allowed to stir for 3 hours at which time it was separated by filtration and dried in a steam of dry nitrogen. The product was 1.15 g (100%) of 3-(2-chloro-phenyl)-6-fluoro-2-(2-pyridin-2-yl-ethyl)-3H-quinazolin-4-one hydrochloride, an amorphous white solid.

Method A

6-Fluoro-2-methylquinoxalin-4-one

A solution of 12.95 9 (70.0 mmol) of 2-nitro-5-fluorobenzoic acid in 200 mL of glacial acetic acid and 20 mL of acetic anhydride was treated with 0.625 g of 10% palladium on carbon are reduced at an initial pressure of 54.5 psi. Hydrogen uptake was complete after two hours. The catalyst was removed by filtration and the filtrate was heated at reflux for two hours at which time TLC (1:1 hexane/ethyl acetate) indicated that the reaction was complete. The reaction mixture was evaporated to a semicrystalline mass which was broken up in a minimum amount of 2-propanol and stirred in an ice bath for one hour. The crystalline solid was separated by filtration, washed with minimal cold 2-propanol and air dried to give 5.79 g (46%) of the desired product as a brown solid, m.p. 127.5-128.5° C.

6-(2-[3-(2-Chlorophenyl)-6-fluoro-4-oxo-3,4-dihydroquinazolin-2-yl-vinyl)pyridine-2-carbaldehyde

A catalytic amount (about 100 mg) of anhydrous zinc chloride was added to a solution of 576 mg (2.0 mmol) of 3(2-chlorophenyl)-6-fluoro-2-methyl-4-(3H)-quinazolinone and 270 mg (2.0 mmol) of 2,6-pyridinedicarboxaldehyde in 20-25 mL of dioxane and 1.0 mL of acetic anhydride. The reaction mixture was heated at reflux under a nitrogen atmosphere for 3 hours until TLC indicated that the starting materials had been consumed. The cooled reaction mixture was poured into water and the mixture was extracted with ethyl acetate. The combined extracts were dried with brine and magnesium sulfate, treated with decolonizing carbon and filtered and the solvent was removed to give the desired product. This was taken up in 2:1 ether/pentane and the crystals were filtered to give 266 mg of the product, 33%, m.p. 247-248° C.

6-Fluoro-3-(2-methyl-pyridin-3-yl)-2-[2-(2-methyl-thiazol-4-yl)-vinyl]-3H-quinazolin-4-one mesylate

Anhydrous zinc chloride (2.7 g, 20 mmol) was fused with a nitrogen purge in a round bottom flask with an open flame. The reaction vessel was allowed to return to ambient temperature, at which time dioxane (150 mL) was then added. To this mixture was added 6-fluoro-2-methyl-3-(2-methyl-pyridin-3-yl)-3H-quinazolin-4-one (2.6 g, 10 mmol), acetic anhydride (2.8 mL, 30 mmol), and 2-methylthiazole-4-carboxaldehyde (3.7 g, 30 mmol). The reaction was refluxed 2 hours, cooled to ambient temperature, and diluted with water. Sodium carbonate was added until the mixture was basic. The mixture was repeatedly extracted with chloroform. The combined chloroform layer was washed with water and brine and finally dried over sodium sulfate and concentrated to leave a dark residue. This residue treated with methanol and concentrated (effectively azeotroping residual chloroform from the residue) and this process was repeated to leave a brown solid. The solid was triturated with ether (twice), filtered and dried to afford 3.1 g (82%) of 6-fluoro-3-(2-methyl-pyridin-3-yl)-2-[2-(2-methyl-thiazol-4-yl)-vinyl]-3H-quinazolin-4-one as tan solid.

To this mixture was added 6-fluoro-2-methyl-3-(2-methyl-phenyl)-3H-quinazolin-4-one (0.134 g, 0.5 mmol), acetic anhydride (0.141 mL, 1.5 mmol), and 2-methylthiazole-4-carboxaldehyde (0.191 g, 1.5 mmol). The reaction was refluxed 3.5 h, cooled to ambient temperature, and diluted with water. The mixture was repeatedly extracted with chloroform. The combined chloroform layer was washed with water and brine and finally dried over sodium sulfate and concentrated to leave a dark residue. This residue was triturated with ether, filtered and dried to afford 0.04 g (21%) of 6-fluoro-2-[2-(2-methyl-thiazol-4-yl)-vinyl]-3-(2-methyl-phenyl)-3H-quinazolin-4-one as tan solid.
