The present invention relates to novel benzamide derivatives, their preparation and pharmaceutical compositions containing them and the use of such derivatives as medicament, especially as a 5-HT4 receptor active agonist.
5-HT is a neurotransmitter that is widely distributed throughout body, both in central nervous system and in peripheral systems. At least seven subtypes of 5-HT receptors have been identified and interactions of 5-HT with these different receptors are associated with a variety of physiological functions. There has been, therefore, substantial interest in investigating 5-HT receptor subtypes.
It has been reported that 5-HT4 receptor agonists are useful for treatment of a variety of diseases such as gastroesophageal reflux diseases, gastrointestinal diseases, gastric motility obstacles, non-ulcer dyspepsia, functional dyspepsia, irritable bowel syndrome, constipation, indigestion, esophagitis, gastric esophageal disease, nausea, postoperative intestinal infarction, central nervous system disease, Alzheimer's disease, cognitive impairment, vomiting, migraine, neurological diseases, pain, cardiovascular disease, heart failure, arrhythmias, intestinal pseudo-obstruction, gastroparesis, diabetes and apnea syndrome.
5-HT4 receptor agonists comprise three types including: benzamides, benzimidazoles and indole alkyl amine derivatives. As one class, the benzamide derivatives have several prominent pharmacological actions, due to their effects on the neuronal systems which are modulated by the neurotransmitter serotonin. The role of serotonin, and thus the pharmacology of the benzamide derivatives, is broadly implicated in a variety of disease conditions. Therefore, research has been focused on the production and storage sites of serotonin as well as the location of serotonin receptors in the human body in order to determine the relationship between these sites and various disease states or conditions.
Cisapride and Mosapride, which are commonly used in clinic, are novel benzamide drugs.
Benzamide drugs promote the release of acetylcholine, enhance the role of cholinergic and strengthen the gastrointestinal smooth muscle motility and contraction mainly by stimulating the pre- and post-synaptic neurons 5-HT4 receptor on intestinal muscle. In large doses, these drugs can be effective central anti-emetic agents as 5-HT3 receptor antagonist. In normal doses, these drugs control vomiting through the promotion of gastrointestinal motility. These drugs can improve the esophageal smooth muscle tension and promote esophageal peristalsis motility, improve the coordination of antrum and duodenal, promote gastric emptying, promote and enhance the function of small bowel movements, and increase the proximal colon emptying. They are considered as the entire gastrointestinal dynamic drugs promoting whole digestive tract smooth muscle motility, and are mainly used in patients suffering from reflux esophagitis, functional dyspepsia, gastroparesis, postoperative gastrointestinal paralysis, functional constipation and pseudo-obstruction. However, cisapride shows mildly antagonistic 5-HT3 and anti-D2 receptor activity, it may cause cardiac adverse reactions and prolong Q-T interval. Patients with serious heart attack, prolonging Q-T interval shown by electrocardiogram, low blood potassium and low magnesium are prohibited from this drug. People with liver and kidney damage, lactating women and children are not recommended to use this drug. Due to the ability of increasing the absorption of diazepam, alcohol, acenocoumarol, cimetidine, ranitidine, anticholinergic drugs may antagonize the effect of cisapride to promote gastrointestinal peristalsis. The interactions among these drugs should be noted. For example, dosage should be reduced when diarrhoea occurs; attention should be paid to monitor clotting time in anticoagulant therapy. Mosapride is a selective gastrointestinal drug of 5-HT4 receptor agonist, not the D2 receptor antagonist. It does not cause Q-T interval prolongation, and could reduce adverse reactions including mainly malaise, dizziness, water stool, mild abdominal pain etc. Compared with cisapride, it is commonly used and shows equivalent efficacy. Prucalopride, as a benzimidazole drug, has a high selectivity and specificity for 5-HT4 receptor. It increases the release of cholinergic neurotransmitter, stimulates peristalsis reflex, enhance colon contraction, accelerates gastric emptying, and promotes digestive tract motility. It can effectively alleviate the symptoms of constipation patients, and is mainly used for the treatment of constipation, weak gastrointestinal peristalsis and intestinal pseudo-obstruction.
WO2005068461 discloses a series of benzamide derivatives as 5-HT4 receptor agonists, especially the compound having the formula:
ATI-7505 is a stereoisomeric esterified cisapride analog, for safe and effective treatment of various gastrointestinal disorders including gastroparesis, gastroesophageal reflux and related disease conditions. ATI-7505 is useful for treatment or prevention of gastroesophageal reflux disease, and can also greatly reduce the side effects of Cisapride including diarrhea, abdominal cramps, blood pressure and heart rate increase, and so on.
In addition, the compounds and pharmaceutical compositions described in the patent can also be used for treatment of vomiting and other diseases such as dyspepsia, gastroesophageal reflux, constipation, postoperative intestinal infarction, and false intestinal obstruction. In the course of treatment, they may also reduce the side effects of cisapride.
As a ligand for the 5-HT4 receptor, ATI-7505 can be used to treat disease conditions mediated by this receptor. The receptor is located in several areas of the central nervous system and the modulation of the receptor could achieve desired modulations of the CNS.
The ester section of ATI-7505 will not affect the treatment capacity of the compound, instead, it makes the compound easy for degradation by serum and/or Plasma EST. So it can evade the cytopigment P450 drug detoxification system which is related to the side effects caused by cisapride, and reduce the occurrence of side effects.
Excellent 5-HT4 receptor agonists should be highly bound to 5-HT4 receptor with almost no affinities to other receptors, and have great agonist activities. They should be well gastrointestinal absorbed, stably metabolised and have desirable pharmacokinetics properties. When targeting the receptor in the central nervous system, they should be capable of passing the blood-brain barrier. When selectively targeting peripheral nervous system receptors, they should be blocked by the blood-brain barrier. Meanwhile, they should be non-toxic and have very few side effects. In addition, the ideal candidates of the drug should exist in a stable, non-hygroscopic and easy-to-prepare physical form.
Based on the current 5-HT4 receptor agonists, the present invention involves a series of benzamide derivatives which are more effective, safer and have fewer side effects.
