3-Pyridyloxymethyl heterocyclic ether compounds useful in controlling chemical synaptic transmission

TECHNICAL FIELD
This invention relates to 3-pyridyloxymethyl heterocyclic ether compounds which control chemical synaptic transmission; to therapeutically-effective pharmaceutical compositions of these compounds; and to the use of said compositions to selectively control synaptic transmission.
BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION
Compounds that selectively control chemical synaptic transmission offer therapeutic utility in treating disorders that are associated with dysfunctions in synaptic transmission. This utility may arise from controlling either pre-synaptic or post-synaptic chemical transmission. The control of synaptic chemical transmission is, in turn, a direct result of a modulation of the excitability of the synaptic membrane. Presynaptic control of membrane excitability results from the direct effect an active compound has upon the organelles and enzymes present in the nerve terminal for synthesizing, storing, and releasing the neurotransmitter, as well as the process for active re-uptake. Postsynaptic control of membrane excitability results from the influence an active compound has upon the cytoplasmic organelles that respond to neurotransmitter action.
An explanation of the processes involved in chemical synaptic transmission will help to illustrate more fully the potential applications of the invention. (For a fuller explanation of chemical synaptic transmission refer to Hoffman et al., "Neurotransmission: The autonomic and somatic motor nervous systems." In: Goodman and Gilman's, The Pharmacological Basis of Therapeutics, 9th ed., J. G. Hardman, L. E. Limbird, P. B. Molinoff, R. W. Ruddon, and A. Goodman Gilman, eds., Pergamon Press, New York, 1996, pp. 105-139).
Typically, chemical synaptic transmission begins with a stimulus that depolarizes the transmembrane potential of the synaptic junction above the threshold that elicits an all-or-none action potential in a nerve axon. The action potential propagates to the nerve terminal where ion fluxes activate a mobilization process leading to neurotransmitter secretion and "transmission" to the postsynaptic cell. Those cells which receive communication from the central and peripheral nervous systems in the form of neurotransmitters are referred to as "excitable cells." Excitable cells are cells such as nerves, smooth muscle cells, cardiac cells and glands. The effect of a neurotransmitter upon an excitable cell may be to cause either an excitatory or an inhibitory postsynaptic potential (EPSP or IPSP, respectively) depending upon the nature of the postsynaptic receptor for the particular neurotransmitter and the extent to which other neurotransmitters are present. Whether a particular neurotransmitter causes excitation or inhibition depends principally on the ionic channels that are opened in the postsynaptic membrane (i.e., in the excitable cell).
EPSPs typically result from a local depolarization of the membrane due to a generalized increased permeability to cations (notably Na.sup.+ and K.sup.+), whereas IPSPs are the result of stabilization or hyperpolarization of the membrane excitability due to a increase in permeability to primarily smaller ions (including K.sup.+ and Cl.sup.-). For example, the neurotransmitter acetylcholine excites at skeletal muscle junctions by opening permeability channels for Na.sup.+ and K.sup.+. At other synapses, such as cardiac cells, acetylcholine can be inhibitory, primarily resulting from an increase in K.sup.+ conductance.
The biological effects of the compounds of the present invention result from modulation of a particular subtype of acetylcholine receptor. It is, therefore, important to understand the differences between two receptor subtypes. The two distinct subfamilies of acetylcholine receptors are defined as nicotinic acetylcholine receptors and muscarinic acetylcholine receptors. (See Goodman and Gilman's, The Pharmacological Basis of Therapeutics, op. cit.).
The responses of these receptor subtypes are mediated by two entirely different classes of second messenger systems. When the nicotinic acetylcholine receptor is activated, the response is an increased flux of specific extracellular ions (e.g. Na.sup.+, K.sup.+ and Ca.sup.++) through the neuronal membrane. In contrast, muscarinic acetylcholine receptor activation leads to changes in intracellular systems that contain complex molecules such as G-proteins and inositol phosphates. Thus, the biological consequences of nicotinic acetylcholine receptor-activation are distinct from those of muscarinic receptor activation. In an analogous manner, inhibition of nicotinic acetylcholine receptors results in still other biological effects, which are distinct and different from those arising from muscarinic receptor inhibition.
As indicated above, the two principal sites to which drug compounds that affect chemical synaptic transmission may be directed are the presynaptic nerve terminal and the postsynaptic membrane. Actions of drugs directed to the presynaptic site may be mediated through presynaptic receptors that respond to the neurotransmitter which the same secreting structure has released (i.e., an autoreceptor), or through a presynaptic receptor that responds to another neurotransmitter (i.e., a heteroreceptor). Actions of drugs directed to the postsynaptic membrane mimic the action of the endogenous neurotransmitter or inhibit the interaction of the endogenous neurotransmitter with a postsynaptic receptor.
Classic examples of drugs that modulate postsynaptic membrane excitability are the neuromuscular blocking agents which interact with nicotinic acetylcholine-gated channel receptors on skeletal muscle, for example, competitive (stabilizing) agents, such as curare, or depolarizing agents, such as succinylcholine.
In the central nervous system, postsynaptic cells can have many neurotransmitters impinging upon them. This makes it difficult to know the precise net balance of chemical synaptic transmission required to control a given cell. Nonetheless, by designing compounds that selectively affect only one pre- or postsynaptic receptor, it is possible to modulate the net balance of all the other inputs. Obviously, the more that is understood about chemical synaptic transmission in CNS disorders, the easier it would be to design drugs to treat such disorders.
Knowing how specific neurotransmitters act in the CNS allows one to speculate about the disorders that may be treatable with certain CNS-active drugs. For example, dopamine is widely recognized as an important neurotransmitter in the central nervous systems in humans and animals. Many aspects of the pharmacology of dopamine have been reviewed by Roth and Elsworth, "Biochemical Pharmacology of Midbrain Dopamine Neurons", In: Psychopharmacology: The Fourth Generation of Progress, F. E. Bloom and D. J. Kupfer, Eds., Raven Press, NY, 1995, pp 227-243). Patients with Paridnson's disease have a primary loss of dopamine containing neurons of the nigrostriatal pathway, which results in profound loss of motor control. Therapeutic strategies to replace the dopamine deficiency with dopamine mimetics, as well as administering pharmacologic agents that modify dopamine release and other neurotransmitters have been found to have therapeutic benefit ("Parkinson's Disease", In: Psychopharmacology: The Fourth Generation of Progress, op. cit, pp 1479-1484).
New and selective neurotransmitter controlling agents are still being sought, in the hope that one or more will be useful in important, but as yet poorly controlled, disease states or behavior models. For example, dementia, such as is seen with Alzheimer's disease or Parkinsonism, remains largely untreatable. Symptoms of chronic alcoholism and nicotine withdrawal involve aspects of the central nervous system, as does the behavioral disorder Attention-Deficit Disorder (ADD). Specific agents for treatment of these and related disorders are few in number or non-existent.
A more complete discussion of the possible utility as CNS-active agents of compounds with activity as cholinergic ligands selective for neuronal nicotinic receptors, (i.e., for controlling chemical synaptic transmission) may be found in U.S. Pat. No. 5,472,958, to Gunn et al., issued Dec. 5, 1995, which is incorporated herein by reference.
Existing acetylcholine channel agonists are therapeutically sub-optimal in treating the conditions discussed above. For example, such compounds have unfavorable pharmacokinetics (e.g., arecoline and nicotine), poor potency and lack of selectivity (e.g., nicotine), poor CNS penetration (e.g., carbachol) or poor oral bioavailability and tolerability (e.g., nicotine). In addition, other agents have many unwanted central agonist actions, including hypothermia, hypolocomotion and tremor and peripheral side effects, including miosis, lachrymation, defecation and tachycardia (Benowitz et al, in: Nicotine Psychopharmacology, S. Wonnacott, M. A. H. Russell, & I. P. Stolerman, eds., Oxford University Press, Oxford, 1990, pp. 112-157; and M. Davidson, et al., in Current Research in Alzheimer Therapy, E. Giacobini and R. Becker, ed.; Taylor & Francis: New York, 1988; pp 333-336).
Various heterocyclic 2-pyrrolidinyloxy-substituted compounds with analgesic and hypotensive activities have been disclosed by Scheffler et al. (U.S. Pat. No. 4,643,995) and Tomioka et al. (Chem. Pharm. Bull, 38:2133-5, 1990).
Certain other 2-pyridyloxy-substituted compounds are disclosed inter alia by Engel et al. in U.S. Pat. No. 4,946,836 as having analgesic activity.
Various other compounds having a pyrrolidine or azetidine moiety substituted at the 3-position with a heterocycloxy group have also been disclosed (cf. U.S. Pat. Nos. 4,592,866 to A. D. Cale; 4,705,853 to A. D. Cale; 4,956,359 to Taylor et al.; and 5,037,841 to Schoehe et al. and European patent application EP296560A2, to Sugimoto et al.).
Certain nicotine-related compounds having utility in enhancing cognitive function have been reported by Lin in U.S. Pat. No. 5,278,176, issued Jan. 11, 1994. Also, 2-(nitro)phenoxy compounds with similar function have been reported by Gunn et al., U.S. Pat. No. 5,472,958, issued Dec. 5, 1995.
In the PCT Patent Application WO94 08992 of Abreo et al., published Apr. 28, 1994, are disclosed, inter alia, various 3-pyridyloxy-heterocyclic compounds that are either unsubstituted or mono-substituted on the pyridine ring with groups such as Br, Cl, F, hydroxyl, C.sub.1 -C.sub.3 -alkyl or C.sub.1 -C.sub.3 -alkoxy, such compounds also described having utility in enhancing cognitive function.

The term "prodrug" refers to compounds that are rapidly transformed in vivo to yield the parent compounds of Formula (I), as for example, by hydrolysis in blood. T. Higuchi and V. Stella provide a thorough discussion of the prodrug concept in Prodrugs as Novel Delivery Systems, Vol. 14 of the A.C.S. Symposium Series, American Chemical Society (1975). Examples of esters useful as prodrugs for compounds containing carboxyl groups may be found on pages 14-21 of Bioreversible Carriers in Drug Design: Theory and Application, edited by E. B. Roche, Pergamon Press (1987).
The term "prodrug ester group" refers to any of several ester-forming groups that are hydrolyzed under physiological conditions. Examples of prodrug ester groups include pivoyloxymethyl, acetoxymethyl, phthalidyl, indanyl and methoxymethyl, as well as other such groups known in the art.
As used herein, the term "pharmaceutically acceptable ester" refers to esters which hydrolyze in vivo and include those that break down readily in the human body to leave the parent compound or a salt thereof. Suitable ester groups include, for example, those derived from pharmaceutically acceptable aliphatic carboxylic acids, particularly alkanoic, alkenoic, cycloalkanoic and alkanedioic acids, in which each alkyl or alkenyl moiety advantageously has not more than 6 carbon atoms. Examples of particular esters includes formates, acetates, propionates, butyates, acrylates and ethylsuccinates.
The pharmaceutical compositions of the present invention comprise a therapeutically effective amount of a compound of the present invention formulated together with one or more pharmaceutically acceptable carriers. As used herein, the term "pharmaceutically acceptable carrier" means a non-toxic, inert solid, semi-solid or liquid filler, diluent, encapsulating material or formulation auxiliary of any type. Some examples of materials which can serve as pharmaceutically acceptable carriers are sugars such as lactose, glucose and sucrose; starches such as corn starch and potato starch; cellulose and its derivatives such as sodium carboxymethyl cellulose, ethyl cellulose and cellulose acetate; powdered tragacanth; malt; gelatin; talc; excipients such as cocoa butter and suppository waxes; oils such as peanut oil, cottonseed oil; safflower oil; sesame oil; olive oil; corn oil and soybean oil; glycols; such a propylene glycol; esters such as ethyl oleate and ethyl laurate; agar; buffering agents such as magnesium hydroxide and aluminum hydroxide; alginic acid; pyrogen-free water; isotonic saline; Ringer's solution; ethyl alcohol, and phosphate buffer solutions, as well as other non-toxic compatible lubricants such as sodium lauryl sulfate and magnesium stearate, as well as coloring agents, releasing agents, coating agents, sweetening, flavoring and perfuming agents, preservatives and antioxidants can also be present in the composition, according to the judgement of the formulator. The pharmaceutical compositions of this invention can be administered to humans and other animals orally, rectally, parenterally, intracisternally, intravaginally, intraperitoneally, topically (as by powders, ointments, or drops), bucally, or as an oral or nasal spray.
Liquid dosage forms for oral administration include pharmaceutically acceptable emulsions, microemulsions, solutions, suspensions, syrups and elixirs. In addition to the active compounds, the liquid dosage forms may contain inert diluents commonly used in the art such as, for example, water or other solvents, solubilizing agents and emulsifiers such as ethyl alcohol, isopropyl alcohol, ethyl carbonate, ethyl acetate, benzyl alcohol, benzyl benzoate, propylene glycol, 1,3-butylene glycol, dimethylformamide, oils (in particular, cottonseed, groundnut, corn, germ, olive, castor, and sesame oils), glycerol, tetrahydrofurfuryl alcohol, polyethylene glycols and fatty acid esters of sorbitan, and mixtures thereof. Besides inert diluents, the oral compositions can also include adjuvants such as wetting agents, emulsifying and suspending agents, sweetening, flavoring, and perfuming agents.
Injectable preparations, for example, sterile injectable aqueous or oleaginous suspensions may be formulated according to the known art using suitable dispersing or wetting agents and suspending agents. The sterile injectable preparation may also be a sterile injectable solution, suspension or emulsion in a nontoxic parenterally acceptable diluent or solvent, for example, as a solution in 1,3-butanediol. Among the acceptable vehicles and solvents that may be employed are water, Ringer's solution, U.S.P. and isotonic sodium chloride solution. In addition, sterile, fixed oils are conventionally employed as a solvent or suspending medium. For this purpose any bland fixed oil can be employed including synthetic mono- or diglycerides. In addition, fatty acids such as oleic acid are used in the preparation of injectables.
The injectable formulations can be sterilized, for example, by filtration through a bacterial-retaining filter, or by incorporating sterilizing agents in the form of sterile solid compositions which can be dissolved or dispersed in sterile water or other sterile injectable medium prior to use.
In order to prolong the effect of a drug, it is often desirable to slow the absorption of the drug from subcutaneous or intramuscular injection. This may be accomplished by the use of a liquid suspension of crystalline or amorphous material with poor water solubility. The rate of absorption of the drug then depends upon its rate of dissolution which, in turn, may depend upon crystal size and crystalline form. Alternatively, delayed absorption of a parenterally administered drug form is accomplished by dissolving or suspending the drug in an oil vehicle. Injectable depot forms are made by forming microencapsule matrices of the drug in biodegradable polymers such as polylactide-polyglycolide. Depending upon the ratio of drug to polymer and the nature of the particular polymer employed, the rate of drug release can be controlled. Examples of other biodegradable polymers include poly(orthoesters) and poly(anhydrides) Depot injectable formulations are also prepared by entrapping the drug in liposomes or microemulsions which are compatible with body tissues.
Compositions for rectal or vaginal administration are preferably suppositories which can be prepared by mixing the compounds of this invention with suitable non-irritating excipients or carriers such as cocoa butter, polyethylene glycol or a suppository wax which are solid at ambient temperature but liquid at body temperature and therefore melt in the rectum or vaginal cavity and release the active compound.
Solid dosage forms for oral administration include capsules, tablets, pills, powders, and granules. In such solid dosage forms, the active compound is mixed with at least one inert, pharmaceutically acceptable excipient or carrier such as sodium citrate or dicalcium phosphate and/or a) fillers or extenders such as starches, lactose, sucrose, glucose, mannitol, and silicic acid, b) binders such as, for example, carboxymethylcellulose, alginates, gelatin, polyvinylpyrrolidinone, sucrose, and acacia, c) humectants such as glycerol, d) disintegrating agents such as agar-agar, calcium carbonate, potato or tapioca starch, alginic acid, certain silicates, and sodium carbonate, e) solution retarding agents such as paraffin, f) absorption accelerators such as quaternary ammonium compounds, g) wetting agents such as, for example, cetyl alcohol and glycerol monostearate, h) absorbents such as kaolin and bentonite clay, and i) lubricants such as talc, calcium stearate, magnesium stearate, solid polyethylene glycols, sodium lauryl sulfate, and mixtures thereof. In the case of capsules, tablets and pills, the dosage form may also comprise buffering agents.
Solid compositions of a similar type may also be employed as fillers in soft and hard-filled gelatin capsules using such excipients as lactose or milk sugar as well as high molecular weight polyethylene glycols and the like.
The solid dosage forms of tablets, dragees, capsules, pills, and granules can be prepared with coatings and shells such as enteric coatings and other coatings well known in the pharmaceutical formulating art. They may optionally contain opacifying agents and can also be of a composition that they release the active ingredient(s) only, or preferentially, in a certain part of the intestinal tract, optionally, in a delayed manner. Examples of embedding compositions which can be used include polymeric substances and waxes.
Solid compositions of a similar type may also be employed as fillers in soft and hard-filled gelatin capsules using such excipients as lactose or milk sugar as well as high molecular weight polethylene glycols and the like.

The solid dosage forms of tablets, dragees, capsules, pills, and granules can be prepared with coatings and shells such as enteric coatings, release controlling coatings and other coatings well known in the pharmaceutical formulating art. In such solid dosage forms the active compound may be admixed with at least one inert diluent such as sucrose, lactose or starch. Such dosage forms may also comprise, as is normal practice, additional substances other than inert diluents, e.g., tableting lubricants and other tableting aids such a magnesium stearate and microcrystalline cellulose. In the case of capsules, tablets and pills, the dosage forms may also comprise buffering agents. They may optionally contain opacifying agents and can also be of a composition that they release the active ingredient(s) only, or preferentially, in a certain part of the intestinal tract, optionally, in a delayed manner. Examples of embedding compositions which can be used include polymeric substances and waxes.
Dosage forms for topical or transdermal administration of a compound of this invention include ointments, pastes, creams, lotions, gels, powders, solutions, sprays, inhalants or patches. The active component is admixed under sterile conditions with a pharmaceutically acceptable carrier and any needed preservatives or buffers as may be required. Ophthalmic formulation, ear drops, eye ointments, powders and solutions are also contemplated as being within the scope of this invention.
The ointments, pastes, creams and gels may contain, in addition to an active compound of this invention, excipients such as animal and vegetable fats, oils, waxes, paraffins, starch, tragacanth, cellulose derivatives, polyethylene glycols, silicones, bentonites, silicic acid, talc and zinc oxide, or mixtures thereof.
Powders and sprays can contain, in addition to the compounds of this invention, excipients such as lactose, talc, silicic acid, aluminum hydroxide, calcium silicates and polyamide powder, or mixtures of these substances. Sprays can additionally contain customary propellants such as chlorofluorohydrocarbons.
Transdermal patches have the added advantage of providing controlled delivery of a compound to the body. Such dosage forms can be made by dissolving or dispensing the compound in the proper medium. Absorption enhancers can also be used to increase the flux of the compound across the skin. The rate can be controlled by either providing a rate controlling membrane or by dispersing the compound in a polymer matrix or gel.

Synthetic Methods
The compounds and processes of the present invention will be better understood in connection with the following synthetic schemes which illustrate the methods by which the compounds of the invention may be prepared. The groups n, R.sup.1, R.sup.2, R.sup.3 and R.sup.4 are as defined above unless otherwise noted. ##STR7##
In accordance with Scheme 1 intermediate compounds are prepared by reaction of an alcohol compound (1), wherein n is 1 to 3 and R.sup.1 is allyl or C.sub.1 -C.sub.6 -alkyl or a protecting group such as BOC or CBZ, for example, with a 3-hydroxypyridine compound (2), wherein R.sup.2 is H, F or Cl, for compounds of Formula (I) above, in the presence of triphenylphosphine and DEAD under Mitsunobu reaction conditions (cf., Synthesis, 1981: 1) to form the 5-bromopyridyl ether compound (3). ##STR8##
Alternately, in accordance with Scheme 2 selected intermediate pyrrolidine compounds (3), wherein R.sup.1 is allyl or C.sub.1 -C.sub.6 -alkyl or a protecting group such as t-BOC or CBZ, for example, may be prepared by reaction of an pyrrolidinemethanol compound (1) with a 3,5-dibromopyridine compound (4), wherein R.sup.2 is H or phenyl, in the presence of a strong base, such as an alkyl lithium compound, an alkali metal such as Na or Li, or an alkali metal hydride, such as NaH or KH, for example, in an aprotic solvent such as THF, DMSO or DMF under anhydrous conditions and inert atmospheres, at temperatures from room temperature to 120.degree. C., for example. ##STR9##
In accordance with Scheme 3 an intermediate compound (3), wherein R.sup.1 is allyl or C.sub.1 -C.sub.6 -alkyl or a protecting group such as t-BOC or CBZ, for example, is reacted with an unsaturated compound (5), (7) or (9), to give compounds (6), (8) or (10), respectively, which are specific or protected compounds of Formula (I), by treatment with a palladium (II) catalyst under weakly basic conditions at reflux temperature in an organic or aqueous solvent. Compound (5) may be prepared by reacting a compound R.sup.3 --CHO, wherein R.sup.3 is as described above, with (phenyl).sub.3 P.dbd.CH.sub.2 in refluxing toluene. Compound (7) may be prepared by reacting a compound R.sup.3 --CHO, wherein R.sup.3 is as described above, with (Ph).sub.3 P.dbd.CH--CHO in refluxing toluene to give R.sup.3 --CH.dbd.CH--CHO, then reacting R.sup.3 --CH.dbd.CH--CHO with (Ph).sub.3 P.dbd.CH.sub.2 in refluxing toluene. Compound (9) may be prepared by reacting R.sup.3 --CHO, wherein R.sup.3 is as described above, with CBr.sub.4 and P(Ph).sub.3 to give R.sup.3 --CH.dbd.CBr.sub.2, then reacting R.sup.3 --CH.dbd.CBr.sub.2 with 2 equivalents of n-butyllithium followed by treatment with H.sup.+. Alternatively, a compound of formula (I) wherein L is carbonyl and R.sub.3 is C.sub.1 -C.sub.3 -alkoxy is prepared by reaction of a compound of formula (3) with carbon monoxide and a C.sub.1 -C.sub.3 -alcohol in the presence of a palladium (II) catalyst in the presence of a weak base such as triethylamine. The resulting ester may then be treated with a cyclic secondary amine, for example, azetidine, pyrrolidine piperidine, or piperazine, to afford a compound of formula (I) wherein L is carbonyl and R.sub.3 is an azacyclic group attached to the carbonyl through a nitrogen. In the cases wherein R.sup.1 is a protecting group such as t-BOC or CBZ it must be removed under well-known standard conditions for removing those groups in order to give the desired compound of Formula (I). In some cases wherein R.sup.1 is allyl or C.sub.1 -C.sub.6 -alkyl, it may be desirable to place this grouping in the compound after the protecting R.sup.1 group has been removed. When R.sup.1 is allyl, this may be accomplished by reacting the unprotected nitrogen atom with allyl chloride in the presence of a weak base such as triethylamine. When R.sup.1 is C.sub.1 -C.sub.6 -alkyl, this may be accomplished by reacting the unprotected nitrogen atom with the appropriate aldehyde in the presence of NaCNBH.sub.3, for example. ##STR10##
In accordance with Scheme 4 an intermediate compound (3), wherein R.sup.1 is allyl or C.sub.1 -C.sub.6 -alkyl or a protecting group such as t-BOC or CBZ, for example, is reacted with a suitable boronic acid compound (11) wherein R.sup.3 is as described in options (a)-(1) for Formula (I) above, in the presence of Pd(0) under the conditions of the Suzuki reaction, for example in the presence of a weak base such as NaHCO.sub.3 and in an aprotic solvent, such as toluene, benzene or CH.sub.2 Cl.sub.2 at reflux temperatures to give a compound (12), wherein R.sup.3 is as described above, to produce specific compounds of Formula (I). In an alternate method, compound (11) may be replaced by R.sup.3 Sn(n-Bu).sub.3 or compound (11) and the palladium catalyst may be replaced by a R.sup.3 MgX compound and Ni(dppp).sub.2 Cl.sub.2 catalyst to give compound (12). In the cases wherein R.sup.1 is a protecting group such as t-BOC or CBZ it must be removed under well-known standard conditions for removing those groups in order to give the desired compound of Formula (I). In some cases wherein R.sup.1 is allyl or C.sub.1 -C.sub.6 -alkyl, it may be desirable to place this grouping in the compound after the protecting R.sup.1 group has been removed. When R.sup.1 is allyl, this may be accomplished by reacting the unprotected nitrogen atom with allyl chloride in the presence of a weak base such as triethylamine. When R.sup.1 is C.sub.1 -C.sub.6 -alkyl, this may be accomplished by reacting the unprotected nitrogen atom with the appropriate aldehyde in the presence of NaCNBH.sub.3, for example. ##STR11##
In accordance with Scheme 5 are prepared compounds of Formula (I) wherein R.sup.2 is ethenyl, phenyl or substituted phenyl. Reaction of a starting material compound (12) wherein R.sup.2 is chloro with phenylboronic acid (13) in the presence of Pd(0) under the conditions of the Suzuki reaction, for example in the presence of a weak base such as NaHCO.sub.3 and in an aprotic solvent, such as toluene, benzene or CH.sub.2 Cl.sub.2 at reflux temperatures to give the compound 14. Reaction of a starting material compound (12) wherein R.sup.2 is chloro with vinyl-Sn(n-butyl).sub.3 (15) in the presence of Pd(0) under Stille reaction conditions to give the compound (16). In the cases wherein R.sup.1 is a protecting group such as t-BOC or CBZ it must be removed under well-known standard conditions for removing those groups in order to give the desired compound of Formula (I). In some cases wherein R.sup.1 is allyl or C.sub.1 -C.sub.6 -alkyl, it may be desirable to place this grouping in the compound after the protecting R.sup.1 group has been removed. When R.sup.1 is allyl, this may be accomplished by reacting the unprotected nitrogen atom with allyl chloride in the presence of a weak base such as triethylamine. When R.sup.1 is C.sub.1 -C.sub.6 -alkyl, this may be accomplished by reacting the unprotected nitrogen atom with the appropriate aldehyde in the presence of NaCNBH.sub.3, for example. ##STR12##
In Scheme 6 is shown an alternate process for preparing desired compounds of the invention. Whereas in Schemes 1 and 3, the heterocyclic and the pyridine moieties are first joined, and the R.sup.3 grouping is added according to Schemes 4 and 5, Scheme 6 allows for the placement of the R.sup.3 group before joining. Accordingly compound (2) is treated with the appropriate reagent, such as a trialkylsilyl or benzyl chloride, to protect the hydroxyl group with a protecting group PG, such as trialkylsilyl or benzyl, respectively, for example to give compound (17). Compound (17) may then be reacted with an appropriate reagent, as described in Schemes 4 and 5, to give the compound (18) having the desired substitution at R.sup.2 and R.sup.3. Subsequent deprotection of (18) by standard methods gives (19), which is then coupled with compound (1) according to the method of Scheme 1 to give the desired compound of Formula (I). ##STR13##
In accordance with Scheme 7 are prepared additional compounds of Formula (I). Compound (3) is first reacted with Zn(CN).sub.2 and tetrakis(triphenylphosphine)palladium(0) under anhydrous conditions in DMF or a similar solvent at room temperature to 120.degree. C. for 12-24 hours, to give the cyano intermediate compound (20). Compound (20) may then be reacted with a reagent R.sup.5 -M, wherein R.sup.5 is as described for Formula (I) above and M is lithium or a magnesium halide moiety, under the appropriate anhydrous conditions, with cooling if necessary, for 2-8 hours or until the reaction is complete to give, followed by treatment with aqueous acid to dissociate the metal complexes and give compound (21). Alternately, the cyano group of compound (20) may be reduced by treatment with 1 atm of H.sub.2 in the presence of Raney nickel at room temperature for 1-8 hours to give an intermediate amino compound. The intermediate amino compound may then be treated with a suitable acylating reagent, for example ethyl formate, an acyl chloride R.sup.6 --Cl, wherein R.sup.6 is, for example, C.sub.1 -C.sub.8 -alkyl, substituted-C.sub.1 -C.sub.8 -alkyl, phenyl, substituted-phenyl, heteroaryl, substituted-heteroaryl, aryl-C.sub.1 -C.sub.6 -alkyl-, substituted-aryl-C.sub.1 -C.sub.6 -alkyl-, heteroaryl-C.sub.1 -C.sub.6 -alkyl-, or substituted-heteroaryl-C.sub.1 -C.sub.6 -alkyl-, a di-C.sub.1 -C.sub.8 -alkyl dicarbonate, or an appropriate carbamylating reagent, Cl--CO--N--R.sup.7 R.sup.8, for example, wherein R.sup.7 may be H or C.sub.1 -C.sub.3 -alkyl-, and R.sup.8 may be H, C.sub.1 -C.sub.3 -alkyl-, phenyl or substituted-phenyl. ##STR14##
In accordance with Scheme 8 are prepared additional compounds of Formula (I). Compound (23) is reacted with the anion of benzyl alcohol under anhydrous conditions in DMF to give the benzyloxy intermediate (24), which is treated with ammonia in the presence of a copper catalyst and heat and pressure to afford amino compound (25). Compound (25) is treated under diazotizing conditions followed by heating with aqueous acid (or alternatively by acetic anhydride and heat followed by saponification) to afford pyridinol (26). When the diazo intermediate is heated in the presence of 1,2-dimethoxyethane and a Lewis acid, intermediate (27) is obtained, which can be debenzylated by catalytic hydrogenolysis to afford pyridinol (28). The foregoing procedures are most applicable when R.sup.2 is H, alkyl or phenyl. For R.sup.2 is F or Cl, pyridinols (26) and (28) can be further substituted at the position para to the hydroxyl group by electrophilic aromatic substitution to provide directly R.sup.2 =F or Cl, or alternatively by a diazo coupling/hydrogenolysis sequence to install an amino substituent, which is readily converted to chloro or fluoro by well-known methods. If necessary or desired, selectively removable blocking groups, e.g. iodo, may be used at positions ortho to the hydroxyl group to achieve the desired regioselectivity for installation of R.sup.2. Pyridinols are then coupled with alcohols (1) according to procedures described under Scheme 1 to afford intermediates (29), which can be elaborated (e.g. N-deprotection, optionally followed by N-alkylation) to compounds of Formula (I). Alternatively, (29) is debenzylated under acidic or hydrogenolytic or electrolytic conditions to (30), which is O-alkylated with alkylating agents R.sup.4 CH.sub.2 --X, where X is a leaving group, to provide (31), which can be elaborated to compounds of Formula (I). Coupling of (1) to (28) provides an intermediate compound which can be similarly elaborated to compounds of Formula (I).
In Vitro Determination of Neuronal Nicotinic Receptor Binding Potencies Selectivity and Functionality
For the purpose of identifying compounds as cholinergic agents which are capable of interacting with cholinergic channel receptors in the brain, a ligand-receptor binding assay was carried out as the initial screen. Compounds of the present invention were effective at interacting with neuronal nicotinic cholinergic receptors as assayed in vitro for their ability to displace radioligand from neuronal nicotinic cholinergic channel receptors labeled with [.sup.3 H]-cytisine ([.sup.3 H]-CYT) (Protocol A below).
For the purpose of directly evaluating the ability of test compounds to functionally activate or inhibit certain subtypes of neuronal nicotinic cholinergic channels, an assay to determine .sup.86 Rb+ Efflux in IMR-32 cells was employed (Protocol B below).
A. Protocol For Determination of Nicotinic Cholinergic Channel Receptor Binding Potencies of Ligands
Binding of [.sup.3 H]-cytisine ([.sup.3 H1]-CYT) to nicotinic receptors was accomplished using crude synaptic membrane preparations from whole rat brain (Pabreza et al., Molecular Pharmacol., 1990, 39:9). Washed membranes were stored at -80.degree. C. prior to use. Frozen aliquots were slowly thawed and resuspended in 20 volumes of buffer (containing: 120 mM NaCl, 5 mM KCl, 2 mM MgCl.sub.2, 2 mM CaCl.sub.2 and 50 mM Tris-Cl, pH 7.4 @4.degree. C.). After centrifuging at 20,000.times. g for 15 minutes, the pellets were resuspended in 30 volumes of buffer. Homogenate (containing 125-150 .mu.g protein) was added to triplicate tubes containing concentrations of test compound and [.sup.3 H]-CYT (1.25 nM) in a final volume of 500 .mu.L. Samples were incubated for 60 minutes at 4.degree. C., then rapidly filtered through Whatman GF/B filters presoaked in 0.5% polyethyleneimlne using 3.times.4 mL of ice-cold buffer. The filters are counted in 4 mL of Ecolume.RTM. (ICN). Nonspecific binding was determined in the presence of 10 .mu.M (-)-nicotine and values were expressed as a percentage of total binding. IC.sub.50 values were determined with the RS-1 (BBN) nonlinear least squares curve-fitting program and IC.sub.50 values were converted to Ki values using the Cheng and Prusoff correction (Ki=IC.sub.50 /(1+[Rigand]/Kd of ligand). Alternately, data were expressed as a percentage of the total specific binding. The binding data (shown in Table 1) suggest that the compounds of the present invention have high affinity for the neuronal nicotinic cholinergic channel receptor.
B. Protocols for the Determination of Functional Effects of Cholinergic Channel Receptor Ligands on Synaptic Transmission
Cells of the IMR-32 human neuroblastoma clonal cell line (ATCC, Rockville, Md.) were maintained in a log phase of growth according to established procedures (Lukas, 1993). Experimental cells were seeded at a density of 500,000 cells/ml into a 24-well tissue culture dish. Plated cells were allowed to proliferate for at least 48 hours before loading with 2 .mu.Ci/ml of .sup.86 Rb.sup.+ (35 Ci/mmol) overnight at 37.degree. C. The .sup.86 Rb.sup.+ efflux assays were performed according to previously published protocols (Lukas, R. J., J. Pharmacol. Exp. Ther., 265: 294-302, 1993) except serum-free Dulbecco's Modified Eagle's Medium was used during the .sup.86 Rb.sup.+ loading, rinsing, and agonist-induced efflux steps.
EC.sub.50 data and maximal responses (reported as percent relative to the response elicited by 100 .mu.M (S)-nicotine) are shown for selected compounds of the invention. The inhibition data (given for a larger number of compounds) reflect inhibition of the efflux elicited by 100 .mu.M (S)-nicotine for either a single dose (% inhibition at 1 .mu.M or at 10 .mu.M) or over a range of doses (IC.sub.50 of inhibition). The results (also shown in Table 1) suggest that selected compounds of the present invention either activate or inhibit the initial ion flux aspects of synaptic transmission mediated by neuronal nicotinic acetylcholine receptors. This finding is in agreement with the results of others who have linked dopamine release, which is dependent upon the ion flux in synaptic transmission, to binding at nicotinic receptors (cf., for example, Lippiello and Caldwell, U.S. Pat. No. 5,242,935, issued Sep. 7, 1993; Caldwell and Lippiello, U.S.Patent 5,248,690, issued Sept. 28, 1993; and Wonnacott et al., Prog. Brain Res., 79: 157-163 (1989)).
