A serotonin 2C (5-HT2C) receptor is one of the receptors for serotonin, a transmitter related to various physiological functions in the biological body. Its expression has been recognized mainly in the central nervous system (brain/spinal cord).
An anorectic action is known as a physiological function of the central 5-HT2 receptor, and the lowering action of various 5-HT2 receptor agonists on food intake has been reported in rats (Non-Patent Documents 1 and 2). Further, it has been confirmed that an anti-obesity action in humans is exhibited due to the anorectic action of the 5-HT2C receptor agonist (Non-Patent Document 3).
The central 5-HT2C receptor is involved in the control of peripheral nerve functions and it has been reported that the rat penile erection is induced by a 5-HT2C receptor agonist (Non-Patent Document 4) and that the time taken from insertion to ejaculation in the experiment for mating behavior of monkeys is prolonged (Non-Patent Document 5). Moreover, it has been reported that a 5-HT2C receptor agonist increases the urethral resistance when the abdominal pressure is increased in rats (Non-Patent Document 6). In addition, it has been reported that in disease models with neuropathic/inflammatory pain in rats, efficacy is exhibited by intraspinal administration of a 5-HT2C receptor agonist (Non-Patent Documents 7 and 8). Various clinical applications are considered for 5-HT2C receptor agonists, particularly as anti-obesity drugs, drugs for treating male erectile dysfunction, drugs for treating premature ejaculation, drugs for treating stress urinary incontinence, drugs for treating neuropathic/inflammatory pain, or the like.
As the 5-HT2C receptor agonist, a benzazepine derivative has been reported, and as a tricyclic benzazepine derivative, for example, Compound A (Patent Document 1) and Compound B (Patent Document 2) are known.
As other 5-HT2C receptor agonists, bicyclic benzazepine derivatives have been reported (Patent Document 3, Patent Document 4, and Patent Document 5).
As a 2,3,4,6,7,8,9,10-octahydro-1H-azepino[4,5-g]quinoline derivative or a 3,4,6,7,9,10-hexahydro[1,4]oxazino[2,3-h][3]benzazepine derivative, which is a tricyclic benzazepine derivative, a compound of the formula (AA) is known to be a Dopamine D3 modulator and be useful for central drug abuse and drug dependence (Patent Document 6).
In addition, in this document, the following compounds are disclosed as a synthetic intermediate for the formula (AA).
Furthermore, there is a report on the structure-activity relationship of a specific compound of the formula (AA) (Non-Patent Document 9), and in this report, it is described that the following compound was used in the preparation of the compound of the formula (AA).
Moreover, there is a report on a 5-HT6 receptor antagonist (Non-Patent Document 10), and it is disclosed that for the compound below, potency on the 5-HT6 receptor is lost by changing a ring condensed with benzazepine from a 5-membered ring to a 6-membered ring.
However, in the documents which disclose such tricyclic benzazepine derivatives, there is no disclosure on the 5-HT2C receptor agonist activity of the 2,3,4,6,7,8,9,10-octahydro-1H-azepino[4,5-g]quinoline derivative or the 3,4,6,7,9,10-hexahydro[1,4]oxazino[2,3-h][3]benzazepine derivative.

(Preparation Methods)
The compound of the formula (I) and a salt thereof can be prepared using the characteristics based on the basic structure or the type of substituents thereof and by applying various known synthesis methods. During the preparation, replacing the relevant functional group with a suitable protective group (a group that can be easily converted into the functional group) at the stage from starting material to an intermediate may be effective depending on the type of the functional group in production technology in some cases. The protective group for such a functional group may include, for example, the protective groups described in “Greene's Protective Groups in Organic Synthesis (4th Ed., 2006)” written by P. G. M. Wuts and T. W. Greene, and one of these may be selected and used as necessary depending on the reaction conditions. In this kind of method, a desired compound can be obtained by introducing the protective group, by carrying out the reaction and by eliminating the protective group as necessary.
In addition, the prodrug of the compound of the formula (I) can be produced by introducing a specific group or by carrying out the reaction using the obtained compound of the formula (I) at the stage from a starting material to an intermediate, just as in the case of the above-mentioned protective group. The reaction can be carried out using methods known to those skilled in the art, such as ordinary esterification, amidation, dehydration, and the like.
Hereinbelow, the representative preparation methods for the compound of the formula (I) will be described. Each of the production processes may also be carried out with reference to the References appended in the present description. Further, the preparation methods of the present invention are not limited to the examples as shown below.

For the deprotection in the present step, the conditions for deprotection usually used by a person skilled in the art can be employed. For example, preparation can be performed by acid treatment, hydrolysis, hydrogenolysis, or the like. For acid treatment, for example, trifluoroacetic acid, hydrochloric acid, sulfuric acid, or the like can be used. In the case of alkali hydrolysis, inorganic bases (for example NaOH, KOH, NaHCO3, Cs2CO3, and the like) can be used. In the case of acid hydrolysis, hydrochloric acid and the like can be used. For any reaction temperature, the reaction can be performed under the condition from under ice-cooling to under refluxing and under the condition which does not allow the substrate to be decomposed. As the solvent, dioxane, tetrahydrofuran, dichloromethane, chloroform, ethyl acetate, alcohols (MeOH, EtOH, and the like), N,N-dimethylformamide (DMF), dimethylsulfoxide (DMSO), water, or a mixed solvent thereof, and the like may be used, but are not limited thereto. In the case of hydrogenolysis, the reaction can usually be performed under a hydrogen atmosphere in the presence of a palladium catalyst. Usually, the reaction can be performed under the condition of from room temperature to under refluxing and under the condition which does not allow the substrate to be decomposed. As the solvent, DMF or alcohols (MeOH, EtOH, and the like) may be used, but are not limited thereto. Further, the conditions for the de-carboxamide reaction, the de-carbamate reaction, the de-sulfonamide reaction described in “Green's Protective Groups in Organic Synthesis (4th Ed., 2006)” above can be employed.

CHO cells which stably expressing a human 5-HT2C receptor were used. The receptor-expressing cells were prepared by transfecting the genes of the human 5-HT2C receptor (Accession numbers: AF498983 (5-HT2C)) into CHO cells (dihydrofolic acid-deficient strain, DS Pharma Biomedical Co., Ltd.)) using a pEF-BOS vector (Nucleic Acids Research, vol. 18, No. 17).

Among them, cells stably expressing an INI type of 5-HT2C receptor which had not been subjected to editing were used. Cells used for evaluation were cultured in a 10% fetal bovine serum (FBS)-containing medium (trade name: α-MEM, Invitrogen) at 37° C. and 5% carbon dioxide. On the day before the evaluation, the cells were suspended in a serum-free medium (trade name: CD-CHO, Invitrogen) containing 8 mM L-glutamine (trade name: L-glutamine 200 mM, Invitrogen, added to the medium at a final concentration of 8 mM) and dispensed into a 96-well poly-D-lysine-coated plate (trade name: Biocoat PDL96W Black/Clear, Japan Becton, Dickinson and Company)) at 4×104 cells/well and cultured at 37° C. and 5% carbon dioxide overnight.

After leaving to stand (with light-shielding) at room temperature for 3 hours, the cells were washed with a plate washer (trade name: ELx405, BioTek Instruments, Inc.) in which a washing solution had been set up. The plates of the washed cells were set up in a system for measuring a calcium (Ca) concentration in a cell (trade name: FLIPR, Molecular Devices, Inc.). In this device, a test compound that had been dissolved in dimethyl sulfoxide and diluted in the washing solution at a predetermined concentration was added and set up to measure a change in the Ca concentrations in a cell. The difference between a maximum value and a minimum value in the change of the intracellular Ca concentration was determined and kept as measurement data.
Taking the maximum reaction of the 5-HT (agonist action with addition of 5-HT 10 μM) as 100% and the reaction of a solvent alone as 0%, the efficacy (Emax (%)) and potency (EC50 (nM)) of the present invention compound to the maximum reaction of the 5-HT were calculated with a logistic regression method.
