5-HT.sub.4 receptor agonists

FIELD OF THE INVENTION
This invention relates to new oxazabicyclo derivatives for use in the treatment of digestive tract diseases and 5-HT.sub.4 receptor agonists comprising the same as an active ingredient.
BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION
The abnormality in function of a gastrointestinal motility by various causes such as chronic gastritis, gastrectomy, peptic ulcer, diabetes mellitus or scleroderma results in the reflux of the gastric contents into the esophagus, delayed emptying of the contents and the depression of the small and large intestinal function. This can lead to several gastrointestinal disorders including nausea, vomiting, heartburn, anorexia, abdominal distension, epigastric dysphoria, abdominaglia, constipation and further reflux esophagitis. One cause of the diseases such as irritable bowel syndrome and spurious ileus is considered to be the depression in gastrointestinal motility.
The agents for the treatment of these conditions and diseases include direct cholinergic agent Aclatonium Napadisilate) or Dopamine antagonist (e.g. Domperidone). However, it is reported that these known agents have the problems of insufficient therapeutic effects and side effects including diarrhea and extrapyramidal syndrome.
The gastrointestinal motility is controlled by sympathetic and parasympathetic nerves. In parasympathetic nerve, acetylcholine is one of the most important neurotransmitters participating in the control of gastrointestinal motility. The release of acetylcholine from the nerve in the nerve plexus of the gastrointestinal tract may induce the contraction of gastrointestinal tract. Accordingly, the accelerated release of acetylcholine from the nerve plexus of gastrointestinal tract results in sthenia of gastrointestinal motility.
Recently, it was reported that a 5-HT.sub.4 receptor is found in gastrointestinal tract. The 5-HT.sub.4 receptor was reported to control the release of acetylcholine in gastrointestinal nerve �Trends in Pharmacological Science, Vol. 13, 141-145, (1992)!. Thus, compounds acting on the 5-HT.sub.4 receptor in gastrointestinal tract and promoting the release of acetylcholine may be a more effective gastrokinetic agent with less side-effects. On the other hand, Japanese Patent Kokai 2-202890 and EPA 469449 disclose that N-�endo-9-methyl-3-oxa-9-azabicyclo�3.3.1!non-7-yl!indazole-3-carboxamide derivatives have an antagonism at 5-HT.sub.3 receptors. However, it is not reported that they have an agonism at 5-HT.sub.4 receptors.
DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION
The present inventors have found that certain class of oxazabicyclo derivatives and their metabolites have a strong 5-HT.sub.4 receptor agonistic activity but have no or little 5-HT.sub.3 receptor antagonistic activity, i.e. having a potent and selective 5-HT.sub.4 receptor agonistic activity and exhibiting a gastrointestinal prokinetic action, by which they are effective for the treatment of digestive tract diseases.

The 5-HT.sub.4 receptor agonistic activity of the present compounds was tested by the following method.
Ileum was excised from guinea pigs to prepare longitudinal muscle samples with approximately 2 cm length. The sample was suspended in Krebs-Henseleit liquid bath supplied with a mixed gas (95% O.sub.2, 5% CO.sub.2) and subjected to electrical stimulation (1 msec, 0.1 Hz) to record contraction force isometrically. The test compounds were. dissolved in distilled water or DMSO and tested at a concentration of 10.sup.-7 M (but 10.sup.-6 M for Compound 11). The results are shown by the presence or absence of the increase in the contraction height by electrical stimulation before administration of the compound, wherein the symbol "+" indicates the increase in the contraction height, while "-" indicates no effect.

Whether or not the action of the above compounds is that via activation of 5-HT.sub.4 receptors was investigated using as 5-HT.sub.4 receptor antagonist, SDZ 205-557 (2-methoxy-4-amino-5-chlorobenzoic acid 2-(diethylamino)ethyl ester) described in Naunyn-Schmiedeberg's Arch Pharmacol (1992) 345:387-393. Thus, the investigation as to whether SDZ 205-557 can antagonize the increase in the contraction height of the above compounds using the longitudinal muscle preparation of the isolated guinea pig ileum can reveal that such increase in the contraction height is the action via activation of 5-HT.sub.4 receptors.
It was verified that the increase in the contraction height of the above compounds was antagonized with 3.times.10.sup.-7 M SDZ 205-557 and this increase was the effect via 5-HT.sub.4 receptors.

The agonistic activity of oxazabicyclo derivatives and Mosapride on 5-HT.sub.4 receptors was determined by the procedure mentioned in Naunyn-Schmiedeberg's Arch Pharmacol (1991) 343:439-446.
The rat oesophageal tunica muscularis mucosae were suspended in organ both containing Krebs-Henseleit solution aerated with a mixed gas (95% O.sub.2, 5% CO.sub.2) and contracted with carbachol (1.times.10.sup.-6 M). After the contraction was stabilized, the cumulative administration of the compounds was performed to determine the relaxation of the rat oesophagus pre-contracted with carbachol. The concentration (ED.sub.50) to cause 50% relaxation of the carbachol-induced contraction was measured. The result is expressed in terms of -log ED.sub.50 and shown in the following table in which higher numerical value indicates higher activity.

For the purpose of studying a receptor selectivity of the present compounds, the 5-HT.sub.3 receptor antagonist activity was tested in the following manner. Rats were anesthetized with urethane and heart rate was recorded through femoral artery. The 5-HT.sub.3 selective agonist, 2-methyl-5-hydroxytryptamine (2-Me-5-HT) was administered at 0.1 mg/kg through carotid arteries and transient reduction in heart rate was recorded. The test. compounds were administered through jugular vein at 5 minutes before the administration of 2-Me-5-HT, inhibitory rate of reduction in heart rate by the administration of 2-Me-5-HT was calculated and IC.sub.50 value was calculated from the inhibitory rate. The results are shown in the following table.

The present compounds were evaluated for the gastrointestinal prokinetic action, employing as an index the gastric-emptying promoting action. Fasted rats were orally given the test compound or distilled water. After 60 minutes, 3 ml of a test meal (a semi-solid food) was given into stomach by means of a probe. After 60 minutes, animals were sacrificed and stomach was excised and weighed. After washing out the gastric content, the stomach was again weighed to calculate the gastric content amount. The results were shown in the following table by calculating the gastric emptying rate (C) from the weight of the test meal given (A) and the weight of the test meal retained in the stomach (B), and expressing in terms of the gastric-emptying promoting rate to the gastric-emptying rate of the distilled water-given group(D).

The present compounds were investigated for the gastrointestinal motility activity by the following procedure, by which the gastrointestinal prokinetic action was confirmed.
Beagle dogs inserted with a forced transducer at the anterior wall of stomach were used after a convelescence period of more than one month.
Dogs fasted overnight were given a food (375 g of a dog food) and gastric motility after meal was determined. After 60 minutes of the feeding, the test compounds were intravenously injected and the promoting action on gastric motility after meal was determined. The area under contracting wave forms of gastric motility (Motility Index: MI) was calculated and expressed in terms of percentage to the MI at 15 minutes before the administration of the test compound.
