The present invention relates to novel azabicyclo[3.1.0]hexane compounds and salts thereof, and their use in the treatment of central nervous system (CNS) disorders.
(1R,5S)-1-(naphthalen-2-yl)-3-azabicyclo[3.1.0]hexane, also known as (+)-1-(naphthalen-2-yl)-3-azabicyclo[3.1.0]hexane, inhibits the reuptake of three biogenic amines of norepinephrine, serotonin, and dopamine (Patent Literature 1).
(1R,5S)-1-(naphthalen-2-yl)-3-azabicyclo[3.1.0]hexane is most effective against norepinephrine reuptake (NE), one-sixth as effective against dopamine reuptake (DA), and one-fourteenth as effective against serotonin reuptake (5-HT), and thus is useful as an unbalanced triple reuptake inhibitor (TRI). Based on these effects, the compound is useful as a medicament for treating CNS disorders such as depression, anxiety, and attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD).
One approach to drug design in the field of pharmaceuticals is to chemically transform or modify some functional groups of known drug molecules to improve their efficacy and slow their metabolism in vivo. These newly designed compounds may exhibit characteristics such as being more stable or being released for a longer time in the patient's body than the known drugs, thereby resulting in sustained drug effects.
The discovery of novel azabicyclo[3.1.0]hexane compounds and the provision of new options to medicaments for various CNS disorders are much desired by patients suffering from such disorders.
[Patent Literature 1] JP 5184354 B

The compound of Formula [I] is a compound in which the nitrogen atom at position 3 of (1R,5S)-1-(naphthalen-2-yl)-3-azabicyclo[3.1.0]hexane is chemically modified appropriately, and thus can provide a prolonged metabolic half-life, mainly in the intestine and liver and can improve bioavailability, compared to when (1R,5S)-1-(naphthalen-2-yl)-3-azabicyclo[3.1.0]hexane is administered to the body.

The reaction system described below was prepared, and the conversion of a test compound to (1R,5S)-1-(naphthalen-2-yl)-3-azabicyclo[3.1.0]hexane was evaluated in the 9000 g supernatant fraction (89) of human liver and in a buffer.
Human liver S9 was purchased from Sekisul XenoTech and used. The test compound was dissolved in DMSO to 10 mM and further diluted with acetonitrile to 100 μM, The solution of the test compound was prepared at the time of use.
The reaction system without the test compound was preincubated at 37° C. for 5 min, and then the reaction was started by adding the test compound solution. After the addition of the coenzyme, the reaction was stopped by adding acetonitrile solution containing the internal standard at each predetermined time. The reaction mixture was used as a sample for assay. In addition, samples for calibration curve (0.01, 0.1, 1 μM) were prepared with the same composition.
Samples for assay and calibration were centrifuged, and the supernatant was injected into a liquid chromatograph-tandem mass spectrometer to measure (1R,5S)-1-(naphthalen-2-yl)-3-azabicyclo[3.1.0]hexane in the reaction system. Ionization was performed by electrospray ionization (ESI) method with cationic detection, and a selective reaction detection method using set precursor and product ions was used.
For the conversion of the test compound to (1R,5S)-1-(naphthalen-2-yl)-3-azabicyclo[3.1.0]hexane, the reaction samples at 0 minute and at 60 minutes were compared.
