Abstract
Pharmaceutical compositions containing benzodiazepines of the formula: ##STR1## are disclosed which are useful in the treatment of panic disorder or anxiety disorder.
Description

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION
The benzodiazepines (Formula IV) which are the starting materials for the compounds of Formula I are described in Merck U.S. Pat. No. 4,755,508.
Cholecystokinins (CCK) and gastrin are structurally-related neuropeptides which exist in gastrointestinal tissue and in the central nervous system (see, V. Mutt, Gastrointestinal Hormones, G. B. J. Glass, Ed., Raven Press, N.Y., p. 169 and G. Nisson, ibid, p. 127).
The isolation of the 33-amino acid polypeptide, cholecystokinin (CCK-33), from porcine intestine, Mutt, V. et al., "Structure of Porcine Cholecystokininpancreozymin. 1. Cleavage with Thrombin and Trypsin", European J. Biochem. 6, 156, (1968), was followed by the discovery that it occurs in numerous molecular forms at various sites throughout the peripheral and central nervous systems, Larsson, L. et al., "Localization and Molecular Heterogeneity of Cholecystokinin in the Central and Peripheral Nervous System", Brain Res., 165, 201 (1979). In the mammalian brain the predominant fragments are the carboxy terminal octapeptide, H-Asp-Tyr(SO.sub.3 H)-Met-Gly-Trp-Met-Asp-Phe-NH.sub.2 (CCK-8s, CCK.sub.26-33) and tetrapeptide, CCK-4 (CCK.sub.30-33).
The carboxy terminal octapeptide possesses the full biological profile of CCK, Dockray, G. J. et al., "Isolation, Structure and Biological Activity of Two Cholecystokinin Octapeptides from Sheep Brain", Nature 274, 711 (1978), and meets many anatomical and biochemical criteria which characterize a neurotransmitter, Vanderhaeghen, J. J. et al., "J. Neuronal Cholecystokinin", Ann. N.Y. Acad. Sci., 448, (1985). The presence of high concentrations of CCK-8s in the mammalian CNS is complemented with findings of specific and high affinity membrane-bound CCK binding sites, Innis, R. B. et al., "Distinct Cholecystokinin Receptors in Brain and Pancreas", Proc. Natl. Acad. Sci. U.S.A., 77, 6917 (1980).
Evidence that more than one form of CCK receptor might exist was first provided in 1980 by Innis and Snyder, Innis, R. B. et al., "Distinct Cholecystokinin Receptors in Brain and Pancreas", Proc. Natl. Acad. Sci. U.S.A., 77, 6917 (1980). At present, CCK receptors have been differentiated into primarily two subtypes based on their affinity for CCK fragments and analogues, Innis, R. B. et al., "Distinct Cholecystokinin Receptors in Brain and Pancreas", Proc. Natl. Acad. Sci. U.S.A., 77, 6917 (1980). The subsequent development of agents which discriminate between different CCK receptor types afforded further support for these assignments, Chang, R. S. L. et al., "Biochemical and Pharmacological Characterization of an Extremely Potent and Selective Nonpeptide Cholecystokinin Antagonist", Proc. Natl. Acad. Sci. U.S.A., 83, 4923 (1986).
The CCK-A receptors, previously known as peripheral CCK receptors, are located in organs such as the pancreas, gallbladder, and colon. They exhibit high affinity for CCK-8s and a lower affinity for the corresponding desulphated fragment, CCK-8d, for CCK-4, and gastrin. Recent autoradiographic results have localized CCK-A receptors in the brain as well, Hill, D. R. et al., "Autoradiographic Localization and Biochemical Characterization of Peripheral Type CCK Receptors in Rat CNS Using Highly Selective Nonpeptide CCK Antagonists", J. Neurosci., 7, 2967 (1987).
The majority of the CCK receptors in the brain are of the CCK-B type. These were previously designated as central CCK receptors. CCK-B receptors are widely distributed throughout the brain and display high affinity for CCK-8s, CCK-4, and pentagastrin, Hill, D. R. et al., "Autoradiographic Localization and Biochemical Characterization of Peripheral Type CCK Receptors in Rat CNS Using Highly Selective Nonpeptide CCK Antagonists", J. Neurosci, 7, 2967 (1987).
In addition to the above mentioned CCK receptor subtypes is a third type, the stomach gastrin receptor, which appears to be closely related to the CCK-B receptor subtype, Beinfeld, M. C., "Cholecystokinin in the Central Nervous System; a Minireview", Neuropeptides, 3, 4111 (1983). The minimum fully potent CCK sequence at this receptor is CCK-4, Gregory, R. A., "A Review of some Recent Development in the Chemistry of the Gastrins", Biorg. Chem., 8, 497 (1979).
A wide range of physiological responses has been attributed to CCK. In an effort to elucidate its biological roles, researchers have relied primarily on a collection of CCK-A antagonists which has been steadily supplemented and improved to now include very selective, high-affinity agents, Evans, B. E., "Recent Developments in Cholecystokinin Antagonist Research," Drugs Future, 14, 971 (1989). In addition to their value as investigative tools, CCK antagonists retain considerable therapeutic potential, Gertz, B. J., "Potential Clinical Applications, of a CCK Antagonist in Cholecystokinin Antagonists," Alan R. Liss, Inc.: New York, pp. 327 (1988).
In recent years, interest in agonists and antagonists of CCK has been stimulated by the possible clinical application of such compounds, Silverman, M. A. et al., "Cholecystokinin Receptor Antagonists, a Review", Am. J. Gastroenterol, 82, 703, (1987). The discovery of the presence of CCK in the brain and its significance in relation to its modulation of dopaminergic functions, effects on satiety, its roles in nociception, in anxiety, and other brain functions, Vanderhaeghen, J. J., et al., "J. Neuronal Cholecystokinin", Ann. N.Y. Acad. Sci. 448 (1985) has understandably intensified the search for CCK-B selective agents. Since the relevant biologically active fragment, CCK-8s, has a half-life of less than 1 hour, Deschodt-Lanckman, K., et al., "Degradation of Cholecystokinin-like Peptides by a Crude Rat Brain Synaptosomal Fraction: a Study by High Pressure Liquid Chromatography", Reg. Pept., 2, 15 (1981), implicit in the development of candidates for clinical use are criteria of high potency, selectivity, long in-vivo duration, oral bioavailability, and capability of penetrating the blood-brain barrier. These are strict prerequisites, given the tenuous stature of peptides as drugs, Veber, D. F., et al., "The Design of Metabolically-stable Peptide Analogs", Trends Neurosci. 8, 392 (1985).
Nevertheless, by employing stratagems which stabilize peptide structures, advances have been made toward developing highly potent and selective peptidal CCK-B receptor ligands Charpentier, B. et al., "Cyclic Cholecystokinin Analogues with High Selectivity for Central Receptors". Proc. Natl. Acad. Sci. U.S.A., 85, 1968, (1988). Analogues are now available which have proven resistant to enzymatic degradation Charpentier, B. et al., "Enzyme-resistant CCK Analogs with High Affinities for Central Receptors", Peptides, 9 835 (1988). Despite favorable receptor binding profiles, this class of compounds fails to meet previously cited key requirements which characterize a drug candidate. In response, researchers have turned to non-peptide compounds which offer a broader range of structure and physicochemical properties.
It was, therefore, an object of this invention to identify pharmaceutical compositions containing the compounds of Formula 1 which are useful in the treatment of panic disorder or anxiety disorder in a mammal, especially a human. The compounds of Formula I are also useful in the treatment of oncologic disorders, controlling pupil constriction in the eye, treating pain or inducing analgesia, or treating a withdrawal response produced by treatment or abuse of drugs or alcohol.

For CCK-B and gastrin receptor antagonism, the preferred stereo-chemistry relates to L-tryptophan.
As used herein, the definition of each expression, e.g. p, loweralkyl, etc., when it occurs more than once in any structure, is intended to be independent of its definition elsewhere in the same structure.

The pharmaceutically acceptable salts of the compounds of Formulas I include the conventional non-toxic salts or the quarternary ammonium salts of the compounds of Formula I formed, e.g., from non-toxic inorganic or organic acids. For example, such conventional non-toxic salts include those derived from inorganic acids such as hydrochloric, hydrobromic, sulfuric, sulfamic, phosphoric, nitric and the like; and the salts prepared from organic acids such as acetic, propionic, succinic, glycolic, stearic, lactic, malic, tartaric, citric, ascorbic, pamoic, maleic, hydroxymaleic, phenylacetic, glutamic, benzoic, salicylic, sulfanilic, 2-acetoxybenzoic, fumaric, toluenesulfonic, methanesulfonic, ethane disulfonic, oxalic, isethionic, and the like.
The pharmaceutically acceptable salts of the present invention can be synthesized from the compounds of Formula I which contain a basic or acidic moiety by conventional chemical methods. Generally, the salts are prepared by reacting the free base or acid with stoichiometric amounts or with an excess of the desired salt forming inorganic or organic acid or base in a suitable solvent or various combinations of solvents.
The pharmaceutically acceptable salts of the acid of Formula I are also readily prepared by conventional procedures such as treating an acid of Formula I with an appropriate amount of a base, such as an alkali or alkaline earth metal hydroxide e.g. sodium, potassium, lithium, calcium, or magnesium, or an organic base such as an amine, e.g., dibenzylethylenediamine, trimethylamine, piperidine, pyrrolidine, benzylamine and the like, or a quaternary ammonium hydroxide such as tetramethylammonium hydroxide and the like.
An embodiment of this invention is the preparation of compounds of Formula I.
The compounds of Formula I may further be useful in the treatment or prevention of central nervous system disorders including neurological and pyschiatric disorders. Examples of such central nervous system disorders include anxiety disorders and panic disorders. Additional examples of central nervous system disorders include panic syndrome, anticipatory anxiety, phobic anxiety, panic anxiety, chronic anxiety, and endogenous anxiety.
The compounds of Formula I may further be useful in the treatment of oncologic disorders. Examples of such oncologic disorders include small cell adenocarcinomas and primary tumors of the central nervous system glial and neuronal cells. Examples of such adenocarcinomas and tumors include, but are not limited to, tumors of the lower esophagus, stomach, intestine, colon and lung, including small cell lung carcinoma.
The compounds of Formula I may further be used to control pupil constriction in the eye. The compounds may be used for therapeutic purposes during eye examinations and intraocular surgery in order to prevent miosis. The compounds may further be used to inhibit miosis occurring in association with iritis, uveitis and trauma.
The compounds of Formula I are also useful for directly inducing analgesia, opiate or non-opiate mediated, as well as anesthesia or loss of the sensation of pain.
The compounds of Formula I may further be useful for preventing or treating the withdrawal response produced by chronic treatment or abuse of drugs or alcohol. Such drugs include, but are not limited to cocaine, alcohol or nicotine.
A further embodiment is a composition comprising an effective amount of a compound of Formula I and a pharmaceutically acceptable carrier.
The compounds of Formula I thereof, may be administered to a human subject either alone or, preferably, in combination with pharmaceutically-acceptable carriers or diluents, optionally with known adjuvants, such as alum, in a pharmaceutical composition, according to standard pharmaceutical practice. The compounds can be administered orally or parenterally, including intravenous, intramuscular, intraperitoneal, subcutaneous and topical administration.
For oral use of an antagonist of CCK, according to this invention, the selected compounds may be administered, for example, in the form of tablets or capsules, or as an aqueous solution or suspension. In the case of tablets for oral use, carriers which are commonly used include lactose and corn starch, and lubricating agents, such as magnesium stearate, are commonly added. For oral administration in capsule form, useful diluents include lactose and dried corn starch. When aqueous suspensions are required for oral use, the active ingredient is combined with emulsifying and suspending agents. If desired, certain sweetening and/or flavoring agents may be added. For intramuscular, intraperitoneal, subcutaneous and intravenous use, sterile solutions of the active ingredient are usually prepared, and the pH of the solutions should be suitably adjusted and buffered. For intravenous use, the total concentration of solutes should be controlled in order to render the preparation isotonic.
When a compound according to Formula I is used as an antagonist of CCK or gastrin in a human subject, the daily dosage will normally be determined by the prescribing physician with the dosage generally varying according to the age, weight, and response of the individual patient, as well as the severity of the patient's symptoms. However, in most instances, an effective daily dosage will be in the range of from about 0.005 mg/kg to about 50 mg/kg of body weight, and preferably, of from about 0.05 mg/kg to about 50 mg/kg of body weight, and most preferably, of from about 0.5 mg/kg to about 20 mg/kg of body weight administered in single or divided doses.
In some cases, however, it may be necessary to use dosage levels outside these limits. For example, doses as low as about 1 ng/kg, about 0.005 .mu.g to about 0.05 .mu.g, or about 100 ng to about 100 .mu.g/kg may be administered.
In the effective treatment of panic syndrome, panic disorder, anxiety disorder and the like, preferably about 0.05 mg/kg to about 0.5 mg/kg of CCK antagonist maybe administered orally (p.o.), administered in single or divided doses per day (b.i.d.). Other routes of administration are also suitable.
For directly inducing analgesia, anesthesia or loss of pain sensation, the effective dosage range is preferably from about 100 ng/kg to about 1 mg/kg by intraperitoneal administration. Oral administration is an alternative route, as well as others.
The compounds of Formula I are prepared according to the following scheme. ##STR10##
Referring to Scheme I, the compounds of Formula I are prepared as follows:
1,3-Dihydro-3,5-disubstituted-1,4-benzodiazepines IV are reacted with phosphorus pentasulfide or preferably Lawesson's reagent (2,4-bis-(4-methoxyphenyl)-2,4-dithioxo-1,3,2,4-dithiadiphosphetane) in an aprotic solvent, preferably toluene at room temperature to the boiling point of the solvent, to give the corresponding thioamides III.
Treatment of the benzodiazepin-2-thiones III with an alcohol or an amine in a solvent, preferably tetrahydrofuran, in the presence of a mercury salt such as mercuric chloride or mercuric acetate affords the title compound Ib, (Method A).
Alternatively, the benzodiazepin-2-thiones III can be converted to the title compound thioiminoethers Ia with an alkylating agent, preferably a lower alkyl halide or cycloloweralkyl halide, at room temperature, under phase transfer conditions requiring aqueous base, such as an alkali earth hydroxide, an organic solvent immiscible with water, preferably toluene and a catalyst, preferably, tetra-n-butylammonium hydrogen sulfate. The thioiminoethers Ia are, in turn, transformed to the title compounds Ib by reaction with an amine or alcohol for 2-96 hours preferably 24 hours, at room temperature to the boiling point of the reagent, preferably 80.degree. C., (Method B). Compounds of formula Ib are also accessible by heating iminoethers Ia with an amine or alcohol in a sealed pressure vessel at 80.degree.-250.degree. C., preferably 120.degree. C., for 1-36 hours, preferably 12 hours, (Method C).
When R.sup.3 in compounds of Formula IV contains an amino, keto, or alcohol moiety, this moiety should be protected during the synthesis of Ia or Ib according to methods known in the art. Removal of such protecting groups according to methods known in the art at the end the synthesis provides Ia or Ib.
For the case of R.sup.3 containing a funtionalized amino group, Scheme I is performed on IV, ##STR11## The protecting group is then removed from Ib by catalytic transfer hydrogenolysis, and the resultant amine [Ib, R.sup.3 =--X.sup.12 --NH--R.sup.18 ] is derivatized appropriately, e.g. with an acid HOOC-(CH.sub.2).sub.q -R.sup.7 to give Ib, ##STR12##
In cases where the starting materials are optically active, the chirality at C.sub.3 is controlled by the synthesis. When racemic starting materials are employed, racemic mixtures are obtained. The enantiomers may be separated by resolution.
In Vitro Activity of Formula I
The biological activity of the compounds of Formula I have been evaluated using 1) an .sup.125 I-CCK receptor binding assay and in vitro isolated tissue preparations and 2) .sup.125 I-gastrin and .sup.3 H-pentagastrin binding assays.
Materials and Methods
1. CCK Receptor Binding (Pancreas)
CCK-33 was radiolabeled with .sup.125 I-Bolton Hunter reagent (2000 Ci/mmole) as described by Sankara et al. (J. Biol. Chem. 254: 9349-9351, 1979). Receptor binding was performed according to Innis and Snyder (Proc. Natl. Acad. Sci. 77: 6917-6921, 1980) with the minor modification of adding the additional protease inhibitors, phenyl-methane sulfonyl fluoride and o-phenanthroline. The latter two compounds have no effect on the .sup.125 I-CCK receptor binding assay.
Male Sprague-Dawley rats (200-350g) were sacrificed by decapitation. The whole pancreas was dissected free of fat tissue and was homogenized in 20 volumes of ice-cold 50 mM, Tris HCl (pH 7.7 at 25.degree. C.) with a Brinkmann Polytron PT 10. The homogenates were centrifuged at 48,000 g for 10 min. Pellets were resuspended in Tris Buffer, centrifuged as above and resuspended in 200 volumes of binding assay buffer (50 mM Tris HCl, pH 7.7 at 25.degree. C., 5 mM dithiothrietol, 0.1 mM bacitracin, 1.2 mM phenylmethane sulfonyl fluoride and 0.5 mM o-phenanthroline). For the binding assay, 25 .mu.l of buffer (for total binding) or unlabeled CCK-8 sulfate to give a final concentration of 1 .mu.M (for nonspecific binding) or the compounds of Formula I (for determination of inhibition of .sup.125 I-CCK binding) and 25 .mu.l of .sup.125 I-CCK-33 (30,000-40,000 cpm) were added to 450 .mu.l of the membrane suspensions in microfuge tubes. All assays were run in duplicate or triplicate. The reaction mixtures were incubated at 37.degree. C. for 30 minutes and centrifuged in a Beckman Microfuge (4 minutes) immediately after adding 1 ml of ice-cold incubation buffer. The supernatant was aspirated and discarded, pellets were counted with a Beckman gamma 5000. For Scatchard analysis (Ann. N.Y. Acad. Sci. 51: 660, 1949), .sup.125 I-CCK-33 was progressively diluted with increasing concentrations of CCK-33.
2. CCK Receptor Binding (Brain)
CCK-33 was radiolabeled and the binding was performed according to the description for the pancreas method with modifications according to Saito et al., J. Neurochem. 37, 483-490, 1981.
Male Hartley guinea pigs (300-500 g) were sacrificed by decapitation and the brains were removed and placed in ice-cold 50 mM, Tris HCl plus 7.58 g/l Trizma-7.4 (pH 7.4 at 25.degree. C.). Cerebral cortex was dissected and used as a receptor source. Each gram of fresh guinea pig brain tissue was homogenized in 10 ml of Tris Trizma buffer with a Brinkman polytron PT-10. The homogenates were centrifuged at 42,000 g for 15 min. Pellets were resuspended in Tris Buffer, centrifuged as above and resuspended in 200 volumes of binding assay buffer (10 mM N-2-hydroxethyl-piperazine-N'-2-ethane sulfonic acid (HEPES), 5 mM MgCl.sub.2, 0.25 mg/ml bacitracin, 1 mM ethylene glycol-bis-(.beta.-aminoethyl-ether-N,N'-tetraacetic acid (EGTA), and 0.4% bovine serum albumin (BSA)). For the binding assay, 25 .mu.l of buffer (for total binding) or unlabeled CCK-8 sulfate to give a final concentration of 1 .mu.M (for nonspecific binding) or the compounds of Formula I (for determination of inhibition of .sup.125 I-CCK binding) and 25 .mu.l of .sup.125 I-CCK-33 (30,000-40,000 cpm) were added to 450 .mu.l of the membrane suspensions in microfuge tubes. All assays were run in duplicate or triplicate. The reaction mixtures were incubated at 25.degree. C. for 2 hours and centrifuged in a Beckman Microfuge (4 minutes) immediately after adding 1 ml of ice-cold incubation buffer. The supernatant was aspirated and discarded, pellets were counted with a Beckman gamma 5000.
The compounds of Formula I can be determined to be competitive antagonists of CCK according to the following assays.
3. Isolated guinea pig gall bladder
Male Hartley guinea pigs (400-600 g) are sacrificed by decapitation. The whole gall bladder is dissected free from adjacent tissues and cut into two equal halves. The gall bladder strips are suspended along the axis of the bile duct in a 5 ml organ bath under 1 g tension. The organ bath contains a Kreb's bicarbonate solution (NaCl 118 mM, KCl 4.75 mM, CaCl 2.54 mM, KH.sub.2 PO.sub.4 1.19 mM, Mg SO.sub.4 1.2 mM, NaHCO.sub.3 25 mM and dextrose 11 mM) maintained at 32.degree. C. and bubbled with 95% O.sub.2 and 5% CO.sub.2. Isometric contractions are recorded using Statham (60 g; 0.12 mm) strain gauges and a Hewlett-Packard (77588) recorder. The tissues are washed every 10 minutes for 1 hr to obtain equilibrium prior to the beginning of the study. CCK-8 is added cumulatively to the baths and EC.sub.50 's determined using regression analysis. After washout (every 10 minutes for 1 hr), the compound of Formula I is added at least 5 minutes before the addition of CCK-8 and the EC.sub.50 of CCK-8 in the presence of the compound of Formula I similarly determined.
4. Isolated longitudinal muscle of guinea pig ileum
Longitudinal muscle strips with attached nerve plexus are prepared as described in Brit J. Pharmac. 23: ; 356-363, 1964; J. Physiol. 194: 13-33, 1969. Male Hartley guinea pigs are decapitated and the ileum removed (10 cm of the terminal ileum is discarded and the adjacent 20 cm piece used). A piece (10 cm) of the ileum is stretched on a glass pipette. Using a cotton applicator to stroke tangentially away from the mesentery attachment at one end, the longitudinal muscle is separated from the underlying circular muscle. The longitudinal muscle is then tied to a thread and by gently pulling, stripped away from the entire muscle. A piece of approximately 2 cm is suspended in 5 ml organ bath containing Krebs solution and bubbled with 95% O.sub.2 and 5% CO.sub.2 at 37.degree. C. under 0.5 g tension. CCK-8 is added cumulatively to the baths and EC.sub.50 values in the presence and absence of compounds of Formula I determined as described in the gall bladder protocol (above).
5. Gastrin Antagonism
Gastrin antagonist activity of compounds of Formula I is determined using the following assay:
Gastrin Receptor Binding in Guinea Pig Gastric Glands Preparation of guinea pig gastric mucosal glands
Guinea pig gastric mucosal glands were prepared by the procedure of Berglingh and Obrink Acta Physiol. Scand. 96: 150 (1976) with a slight modification according to Praissman et al. C. J. Receptor Res. 3: (1983). Gastric mucosa from guinea pigs (300-500 g body weight, male Hartley) were washed thoroughly and minced with fine scissors in standard buffer consisting of the following: 130 mM NaCl, 12 mM NaHCO.sub.3, 3 mM NaH.sub.2 PO.sub.4, 3 mM K.sub.2 HPO.sub.4, 2 mM MgSO.sub.4, 1 mM CaCl.sub.2, 5 mM glucose and 4 mM L-glutamine, 25 mM HEPES at pH 7.4. The minced tissues were washed and then incubated in a 37.degree. C. shaker bath for 40 minutes with the buffer containing 0.1% collagenase and 0.1% BSA and bubbled with 95% O.sub.2 and 5% CO.sub.2. The tissues were passed twice through a 5 ml glass syringe to liberate the gastric glands, and then filtered through 200 mesh nylon. The filtered glands were centrifuged at 270 g for 5 minutes and washed twice by resuspension and centrifugation.
In Vitro Results
1. Effect of The Compounds of Formula I on .sup.125 I-CCK-33 receptor binding
The preferred compounds of Formula I are those which inhibited specific .sup.125 I-CCK-33 binding in a concentration dependent manner.
Scatchard analysis of specific .sup.125 I-CCK-33 receptor binding in the absence and presence of the compounds of Formula I indicated the compound of Formula I competitively inhibited specific .sup.125 I-CCK-33 receptor binding since it increased the K.sub.D (dissociation constant) without affecting the B.sub.max (maximum receptor number).
