The present invention relates to novel compounds, processes for their preparation, pharmaceutical compositions containing the same and their use as medicaments. More particularly this invention relates to novel benzoxazinone derivatives and their utility in the treatment of CNS and other disorders.
WO02134754 discloses a series of benzoxazinone compounds as being useful for treating certain CNS disorders such as depression. Patent application DT-2429253-A1 discloses certain benzoxazinone compounds including 2H-1,4-benzoxazin-3(4H)-one-6-[[4-(2-naphthalenyl)-1-piperazinyl]acetyl], 2H-1,4-benzoxazin-3(4H)-one-6-[[4-(1-naphthalenyl)-1-piperazinyl]acetyl], 2H-1,4-benzoxazin-3(4H)-one-6-[1-hydroxy-2-[4-(2-naphthalenyl)-1-piperazinylethyl] 2H-1,4-benzoxazin-3(4H)-one-6-[1-hydroxy-2-[4-(1-naphthalenyl)-1-piperazinyl]ethyl] and salts thereof, which are claimed to be of sympatholytic, sedative, analgesic and anticholesteremic use.
Artigas (Trends in Pharmacological Sciences, Vol. 14, 262, 1993) suggests that the co-administration of a 5-HT1A receptor antagonist and a selective serotonin reuptake inhibitor (SSRI) may give rise to an improvement in anti-depressant efficacy. Patent applications WO 00/40580 (American Home Products) and WO 00/40581 (American Home Products) both disclose a series of benzoxazine derivatives that are claimed to possess such a combined activity profile.
A novel series of benzoxazinone compounds has now been found that possess high affinity for 5-HT1 type receptors and/or possess serotonin reuptake inhibition activity. The present invention therefore provides, in a first aspect, a compound of formula (I) or a pharmaceutically acceptable salt thereof:

Preferred features of formula (I) apply to formula (Ia) mutatis mutandis.
Preferred compounds of this invention are:
The compounds of formula (I) can form acid addition salts thereof. It will be appreciated that for use in medicine the salts of the compounds of formula (I) should be pharmaceutically acceptable. Suitable pharmaceutically acceptable salts will be apparent to those skilled in the art and include those described in J. Pharm. Sci., 1977, 66, 1-19, such as acid addition salts formed with inorganic acids e.g. hydrochloric, hydrobromic, sulfuric, nitric or phosphoric acid; and organic acids e.g. succinic, maleic, acetic, fumaric, citric, tartaric, benzoic, p-toluenesulfonic, methanesulfonic or naphthalenesulfonic acid. Certain of the compounds of formula (I) may form acid addition salts with one or more equivalents of the acid. The present invention includes within its scope all possible stoichiometric and non-stoichiometric forms.
The compounds of formula (I) may be prepared in crystalline or non-crystalline form, and, if crystalline, may optionally be hydrated or solvated. This invention includes within its scope stoichiometric hydrates or solvates as well as compounds containing variable amounts of water and/or solvent.
Certain compounds of formula (I) are capable of existing in stereoisomeric forms (e.g. geometric or (“cis-trans”) isomers, diastereomers and enantiomers) and the invention extends to each of these stereoisomeric forms and to mixtures thereof including racemates. The different stereoisomeric forms may be separated one from the other by the usual methods, or any given isomer may be obtained by stereospecific or asymmetric synthesis. The invention also extends to any tautomeric forms and mixtures thereof. For compounds of formula (I) where R1 is a C3-6alkenyl group, the compounds may also exist as geometric isomers around the double bond. The present invention includes within its scope all such isomers, including mixtures.
In a further aspect, this invention provides a process for the preparation of a compound of formula (I) or a pharmaceutically acceptable salt thereof, which process comprises:
(a) reacting a compound of formula (II):
wherein R1, R2, p and Z are as defined in formula (I), and L is a leaving group, with a compound of formula (III):
wherein A, R3, , X and q are as defined in formula (I); or
(b) the reduction and concominant cyclisation of a compound of formula (IV):
in which A, X, R3, , q and Z are as defined in formula (I);
and optionally thereafter for each of process (a) or (b):
For process (a), the reaction of a compound of formula (II) and (III) is carried out in the presence of a base such as sodium carbonate or potassium carbonate, in the presence of sodium iodide in a suitable solvent, such as NMP or MIBK at an elevated temperature.
For process (b), the reduction and concominant cyclisation of a compound of formula (IV) is carried out in the presence of a reducing agent such as iron powder in glacial acetic acid.
Compounds of formula (I) can be converted into further compounds of formula (I) using standard techniques. For example, and by way of illustration rather than limitation, for compounds of formula (I) wherein R1 is hydrogen it may be possible to introduce a C1-6alkyl group by conventional alkylation using 1 molar equivalent of a C1-6alkylhalide and 1 molar equivalent of a suitable base in an inert solvent.
Compounds of formulae (II)-(IV) are commercially available, may be prepared according to procedures described herein, by known literature methods, or by analogous procedures thereto.
It will be appreciated by those skilled in the art that it may be necessary to protect certain reactive substituents during some of the above procedures. Standard protection and deprotection techniques, such as those described in Greene T. W. Protective groups in organic synthesis, New York, Wiley (1981), can be used. For example, primary amines can be protected as phthalimide, benzyl, t-butyloxycarbonyl, benzyloxycarbonyl or trityl derivatives. Carboxylic acid groups can be protected as esters. Aldehyde or ketone groups can be protected as acetals, ketals, thioacetals or thioketals. Deprotection of such groups is achieved using conventional procedures well known in the art. For example, protecting groups such as t-butyloxycarbonyl may be removed using an acid such as hydrochloric or trifluroroacetic acid in a suitable solvent such as dichloromethane, diethylether, isopropanol or mixtures thereof.
It will be further appreciated that compounds of formula (II)-(IV) and any precursors thereto may have one or more chiral centres. Enantiomeric or diastereomeric mixtures of such compounds may be separated using conventional methods, for example by chromatography or by resolution by means of diastereomeric salt formation.
Pharmaceutically acceptable salts may be prepared conventionally by reaction with the appropriate acid or acid derivative.
The present invention also provides a pharmaceutical composition, which comprises a compound of formula (I), or formula (Ia) as defined above and a pharmaceutically acceptable carrier or excipient.
In a further aspect, the present invention provides a process for preparing a pharmaceutical composition, the process comprising mixing a compound of formula (I) or formula (Ia) as defined above and a pharmaceutically acceptable carrier or excipient.
The affinities of the compounds of this invention for 5-HT1A, 5-HT1B and 5-HT1D receptors can be determined by the following assay. CHO cells expressing 5-HT1A receptors (4×107 cells/ml) are homogenised in Tris buffer and stored in 1 ml aliquots. CHO cells expressing 5-HT1B receptors (4×107 cells/ml) are homogenised in Tris buffer and stored in 1.5 ml aliquots. CHO cells expressing 5-HT1D receptors (1×108/ml) are homogenised in Tris buffer and stored in 1 ml aliquots. 0.4 ml of a cell suspension is incubated with [3H]-5-HT (4 nM) for 5 HT1B/1D receptors and [3H]WAY100635 (1 nM) for 5-HT1A receptors in Tris Mg HCl buffer (pH 7.7) and test drug, at 37° C. for 45 minutes. Each test drug is tested at 10 concentrations (0.01 mM to 0.3 nM final concentration), with non-specific binding defined using 0.01 mM 5-HT. The total assay volume is 0.5 ml. Incubation is stopped by rapid filtration using a Packard Filtermate and radioactivity measured by Topcount scintillation counting. pKi values are calculated from the IC50 generated by an iterative least squares curve fitting programme.
All the Example compounds shown below were tested according to the radioligand binding assay described above and were found to have pKi values >6.0 at 5-HT1A receptors, with many showing a considerably higher affinity (having pKi values in the range 8.0-10.0) Certain compounds of this invention also demonstrate comparable affinity for 5-HT1B and 5-HT1D receptors.
The intrinsic activity of the compounds of this invention can be determined according to the following assay. HEK293 cell membranes stably expressing human 5-HT1A receptors and CHO cell membranes stably expressing human 5-HT1B receptors are homogenised in HEPES/EDTA buffer and stored in 1 ml aliquots, and [35S]GTPγS binding studies are carried out essentially as described by Lazareno et al., (Life Sci., 1993, 52, 449) with some minor modifications. Membranes from 106 cells are pre-incubated at 30° C. for 30 minutes in 20 mM HEPES buffer (pH 7.4) in the presence of MgCl2 (3 mM), NaCl (100 mM), GDP (10 μM) and ascorbate (0.2 mM), with or without test compounds. The reaction is started by the addition of 50 μl of [35S]GTPγS (100 pM, assay concentration) followed by a further 30 minutes incubation at 30° C. Non-specific binding is determined using nonradiolabelled GTPγS (20 μM) added prior to the membranes. The reaction is terminated by rapid filtration through Whatman GF/B grade filters followed by 5×1 ml washes with ice cold HEPES (20 mM)/MgCl2 (3 mM) buffer. Radioactivity is measured using liquid scintillation spectrometry. This procedure is hereafter referred to as the [35S]GTPγS functional assay.
It has been found, using the [35S]GTPγS functional assay, that certain compounds of formula (I) appear to be antagonists at 5-HT1 type receptors whilst others appear to be inverse agonists, agonists or partial agonists.
The efficacy of the compounds of this invention to inhibit the reuptake of serotonin can be measured in a 5-HT uptake assay by measurement of uptake of [3H]-5-HT into LLCPK cells expressing human or rat serotonin transporters. In brief, cells are harvested and plated onto 96-well plates (10,000 cells per well). 24 hr later cells are washed 2× with HBSSH (Hanks' balanced salt solution+20 mM HEPES). 50 ul of test compound or vehicle is added to each well and incubated for 10 min. Subsequently, [3H]5-HT (final concentration 25 nM) is added and the test mixture is incubated for a further 7 min.

A pharmaceutical composition of the invention, which may be prepared by admixture, suitably at ambient temperature and atmospheric pressure, is usually adapted for oral, parenteral or rectal administration and, as such, may be in the form of tablets, capsules, oral liquid preparations, powders, granules, lozenges, reconstitutable powders, injectable or infusible solutions or suspensions or suppositories. Orally administrable compositions are generally preferred.
Tablets and capsules for oral administration may be in unit dose form, and may contain conventional excipients, such as binding agents (e.g. pregelatinised maize starch, polyvinylpyrrolidone or hydroxypropyl methylcellulose);, fillers (e.g. lactose, microcrystalline cellulose or calcium hydrogen phosphate);, tabletting lubricants lubricants (e.g. magnesium stearate, talc or silica);, disintegrants (e.g. potato starch or sodium starch glycollate); and acceptable wetting agents (e.g. sodium lauryl sulfate). The tablets may be coated according to methods well known in normal pharmaceutical practice.
Oral liquid preparations may be in the form of, for example, aqueous or oily suspension, solutions, emulsions, syrups or elixirs, or may be in the form of a dry product for reconstitution with water or other suitable vehicle before use. Such liquid preparations may contain conventional additives such as suspending agents (e.g. sorbitol syrup, cellulose derivatives or hydrogenated edible fats), emulsifying agents (e.g. lecithin or acacia), non-aqueous vehicles (which may include edible oils e.g. almond oil, oily esters, ethyl alcohol or fractionated vegetable oils), preservatives (e.g. methyl or propyl-p-hydroxybenzoates or sorbic acid), and, if desired, conventional flavourings or colorants, buffer salts and sweetening agents as appropriate. Preparations for oral administration may be suitably formulated to give controlled release of the active compound.
For parenteral administration, fluid unit dosage forms are prepared utilising a compound of the invention or pharmaceutically acceptable salt thereof and a sterile vehicle. Formulations for injection may be presented in unit dosage form e.g. in ampoules or in multi-dose, utilising a compound of the invention or pharmaceutically acceptable salt thereof and a sterile vehicle, optionally with an added preservative. The compositions may take such forms as suspensions, solutions or emulsions in oily or aqueous vehicles, and may contain formulatory agents such as suspending, stabilising and/or dispersing agents. Alternatively, the active ingredient may be in powder form for constitution with a suitable vehicle, e.g. sterile pyrogen-free water, before use. The compound, depending on the vehicle and concentration used, can be either suspended or dissolved in the vehicle. In preparing solutions, the compound can be dissolved for injection and filter sterilised before filling into a suitable vial or ampoule and sealing. Advantageously, adjuvants such as a local anaesthetic, preservatives and buffering agents are dissolved in the vehicle. To enhance the stability, the composition can be frozen after filling into the vial and the water removed under vacuum. Parenteral suspensions are prepared in substantially the same manner, except that the compound is suspended in the vehicle instead of being dissolved, and sterilisation cannot be accomplished by filtration. The compound can be sterilised by exposure to ethylene oxide before suspension in a sterile vehicle. Advantageously, a surfactant or wetting agent is included in the composition to facilitate uniform distribution of the compound.
Lotions may be formulated with an aqueous or oily base and will in general also contain one or more emulsifying agents, stabilising agents, dispersing agents, suspending agents, thickening agents, or colouring agents. Drops may be formulated with an aqueous or non-aqueous base also comprising one or more dispersing agents, stabilising agents, solubilising agents or suspending agents. They may also contain a preservative.
The compounds of the invention may also be formulated in rectal compositions such as suppositories or retention enemas, e.g. containing conventional suppository bases such as cocoa butter or other glycerides.
The compounds of the invention may also be formulated as depot preparations. Such long acting formulations may be administered by implantation (for example subcutaneously or intramuscularly) or by intramuscular injection. Thus, for example, the compounds of the invention may be formulated with suitable polymeric or hydrophobic materials (for example as an emulsion in an acceptable oil) or ion exchange resins, or as sparingly soluble derivatives, for example, as a sparingly soluble salt.
For intranasal administration, the compounds of the invention may be formulated as solutions for administration via a suitable metered or unitary dose device or alternatively as a powder mix with a suitable carrier for administration using a suitable delivery device. Thus compounds of formula (I) may be formulated for oral, buccal, parenteral, topical (including ophthalmic and nasal), depot or rectal administration or in a form suitable for administration by inhalation or insufflation (either through the mouth or nose).
The composition may contain from 0.1% to 99% by weight, preferably from 10 to 60% by weight, of the active material, depending on the method of administration. The dose of the compound used in the treatment of the aforementioned disorders will vary in the usual way with the seriousness of the disorders, the weight of the sufferer, and other similar factors. However, as a general guide suitable unit doses may be 0.05 to 1000 mg, more suitably 1.0 to 200 mg, and such unit doses may be administered more than once a day, for example two or three times a day. Such therapy may extend for a number of weeks or months.
