The present invention relates to a medicine, and particularly to a substituted guanidine derivative that has a 5-HT5A receptor modulating action, and is useful as an agent for treating or preventing dementia, schizophrenia, and the like.
In recent years, it has been suggested that the 5-HT5A receptor which is one of the subtypes of serotonin receptors plays an important role in dementia and schizophrenia. For example, it has been reported that new exploratory behaviors are increased in the 5-HT5A receptor knock-out mice, and hyperactivity by LSD is inhibited in the 5-HT5A receptor knock-out mice (Neuron, 22, 581-591, 1999). From the results of gene expression analysis, it has been reported that the 5-HT5A receptor is highly expressed in the brains of humans and rodents, and expression is high in the brains, hippocampal CA1 and CA3 pyramidal cells which are related to memory, and frontal lobe (cerebral cortex) which is deeply related to schizophrenia (Molecular Brain Research, 56, 1-8, 1998). Furthermore, it has been reported that gene polymorphism of the 5-HT5A receptor relates to schizophrenia (Neuroreport 11, 2017-2020, 2000; Mol. Psychiatr. 6, 217-219, 2001; and J. Psychiatr. Res. 38, 371-376, 2004). Accordingly, it has been suggested that regulation of the action of the 5-HT5A receptor leads to the improvement of dementia and schizophrenia. Therefore, there is a need for a compound having such a function.
There have been hitherto reported several kinds of compounds having high affinity for the 5-HT5A receptor. For example, it has been described that a guanidine derivative represented by the following general formula binds to the 5-HT5A receptor and thus is used for treating multiple central diseases such as a neurodegenerative disease and a neurophychiatric disease (Patent Document 1).
(wherein A represents NO2, NH2, or the like; B represents a hydrogen atom, or the like; Rw1 represents a hydrogen atom, or the like; D represents a group represented by A; Q represents a di-substituted 5-membered heteroaryl; R1, R2, and R3 each represent a hydrogen atom, or the like; and Z represents —(CRz1Rz2)a—(Vz)b—(CRz3Rz4)c—, in which a and c each represent 0 to 4, b represents 0 or 1, Rz1, Rz2, Rz3 and Rz4 each represents a hydrogen atom, or the like, and VZ represents CO, or the like. For details on these, refer to the publication).
None of the 5-HT5A receptor modulators which have been reported until now has a bicyclic acylguanidine structure. On the other hand, several kinds of compounds having bicyclic acylguanidine structures that are used in other uses have been known.
For example, it has been reported that a derivative represented by the following general formula has an antiviral activity, and is useful in the treatment of infections with HIV, HCV, and the like (Patent Document 2).
and the like
(wherein R1 represents phenyl, substituted phenyl, naphthyl, substituted naphthyl, or a structure shown above; n represents 1, 2, 3 or 4; Q independently represents hydrogen, cycloalkyl, thienyl, furyl, pyrazolyl, pyridyl, substituted pyridyl, phenyl, substituted phenyl, or the like; and X represents hydrogen or alkoxy. For details on these, refer to the publication.)
The publication has no description concerning the 5-HT5A receptor modulating action regarding the derivative, dementia, and schizophrenia.
A benzopyran derivative having a cyclic structure at the 4-position has been reported. For example, a compound represented by the following formula, and a derivative thereof are known as a K-channel opener (Non-Patent Document 1).
In addition, there has been reported a benzoxazine derivative that has an Na+/H+-exchanger inhibiting action, and is useful for the treatment of myocardial infarction and angina pectoris (Patent Document 3).
Neither Non-Patent Document 1 nor Patent Document 3 has a description concerning the 5-HT5A receptor modulating action, dementia, or schizophrenia.
An object of the present invention is to provide a novel and excellent agent for treating or preventing dementia, schizophrenia, or the like, based on the 5-HT5A receptor modulating action.
The present inventors have extensively studied on a compound having a 5-HT5A receptor modulating action, and as a result, they have found that a bicyclic acylguanidine derivative which has a characteristic structure that guanidine is bonded to one ring of a bicyclic structure such as chromene and dihydronaphthalene through a carbonyl group and, a cyclic group is bonded on the other ring, has a potent 5-HT5A receptor modulating action and excellent pharmacological action based on this mechanism, and thus it can be an excellent agent for treating or preventing dementia, schizophrenia, and the like, thereby completing the present invention.
Namely, the present invention relates to a bicyclic acylguanidine derivative represented by the following general formula (I), or a salt thereof.

The compound (I) of the present invention may be produced by applying various known synthetic methods, using the characteristics based on their basic skeletons or the kind of the substituents. Further, depending on the kind of a functional group, it is sometimes effective from the viewpoint of the production techniques to protect the functional group with an appropriate protecting group (a group which may be easily converted into the functional group), during the steps of from starting materials to intermediates. Examples of such a functional group include an amino group, a hydroxyl group, and a carboxyl group, and examples of such a protecting group include protecting groups described in “Green's Protective Groups in Organic Synthesis”, edited by P. G. M. Wuts and T. W. Greene, 4th Edition, 2006, which may be optionally selected and used in response to the reaction conditions. By such a method, a desired compound can be obtained by introducing a protecting group to carry out the reaction, and then, removing the protecting group as needed.
In addition, a prodrug of the compound (I) can be produced by introducing a specific group during the steps from starting materials to intermediates, in a similar way to the aforementioned protecting groups, or by carrying out a reaction using the obtained compound (I). The reaction may be carried out by employing a method known to a skilled person in the art, such as ordinary esterification, amidation, and dehydration.
Hereinbelow, the representative production processes of the compounds of the present invention are described. Each of the production processes can be carried out with reference to the references cited in the description. Further, the production processes of the present invention are not limited to the examples as shown below.
(wherein Lv1 represents —OH or a leaving group).
The compound (I) of the present invention can be produced by the reaction of a carboxylic acid or a reactive derivative thereof (1) with guanidine (2) or a salt thereof.
The reaction can be carried out using equivalent amounts of the carboxylic acid or a reactive derivative thereof (1) and guanidine (2), or an excess amount of guanidine. It can be carried out under cooling to under heating, preferably at from −20° C. to 80° C., in a solvent which is inert to the reaction, such as aromatic hydrocarbons such as benzene, toluene, or xylene, halogenated hydrocarbons such as dichloromethane, 1,2-dichloroethane, or chloroform, ethers such as diethylether, tetrahydrofuran (THF), dioxane, or dimethoxyethane (DME), N,N-dimethylformamide (DMF), dimethylsulfoxide (DMSO), N-methylpyrolidone (NMP), ethyl acetate, acetonitrile, or water, or a mixture thereof.
When a free carboxylic acid wherein Lv1 is OH is used as the starting compound (I), it is desirable to carry out the reaction in the presence of a condensing agent. In that case, examples of the condensing agent include N,N′-dicyclohexylcarbodiimide (DCC), 1-[3-(dimethylamino)propyl]-3-ethylcarbodiimide (WSC), 1,1′-carbonyldiimidazole (CDI), 2-(1H-benzotriazol-1-yl)-1,1,3,3-tetramethyluronium hexafluorophosphate (HBTU), diphenylphosphoryl azide (DPPA), and phosphorous oxychloride. In some cases, it is preferred to further add an additive agent (e.g., N-hydroxysuccinimide (HONSu), 1-hydroxybenzotriazole (HOBt)), and the like. Normally, the condensing agent is used in an equivalent amount or excess amount based on the carboxylic acid.
As the reactive derivative of the carboxylic acid wherein Lv1 is a leaving group regarding the starting compound (I), an acid halide (acid chloride, acid bromide, or the like), an acid anhydride (a mixed acid anhydride with phenyl chlorocarbonate, p-toluenesulfonic acid, or isovaleric acid, or the like or a symmetric acid anhydride), an active ester (an ester which can be prepared using phenol that may be substituted with an electron withdrawing group such as a nitro group or a fluorine atom, HOBt, HONSu and the like), a lower alkyl ester and the like may be exemplified, and each of them can be produced from carboxylic acid using a reaction obvious to those skilled in the art. Depending on the kind of a reactive derivative, it is sometimes advantageous for smooth progress of the reaction to carry out the reaction in the presence of a base (organic bases such as triethylamine, diisopropylethylamine (DIPEA), N-methylmorpholine, pyridine, or 4-(N,N-dimethylamino)pyridine, or inorganic bases such as sodium hydrogen carbonate, or the like). Pyridine can also serve as a solvent. In this connection, when a lower alkyl ester is used as the reactive derivative, it is desirable to carry out the reaction under room temperature to under heating to reflux.
(wherein Lv2 represents a leaving group such as pyrazol-1-yl which may be substituted with lower alkyl, —S-lower alkyl, —O-phenyl, —Br, and —Cl)
The compound (I) of the present invention can be produced by the reaction of an amidine compound (3) having a leaving group with an amine compound (4).
This reaction can be carried out using equivalent amounts of the compound (3) and the compound (4), or either thereof in an excess amount. The mixture of these compounds is stirred under from cooling to heating under reflux, preferably at from 0° C. to 80° C., in a solvent inert to reaction or without a solvent, usually for 0.1 hour to 5 days. Examples of the solvent used herein are not limited, but include aromatic hydrocarbons, ethers, halogenated hydrocarbons, DMF, DMSO, NMP, ethyl acetate, acetonitrile, and a mixture thereof. It is sometimes advantageous for smooth progress of the reaction to carry out the reaction in the presence of organic bases such as triethylamine, N,N-diisopropylethylamine, or N-methylmorpholine, or inorganic bases such as potassium carbonate, sodium carbonate, or potassium hydroxide.
The compounds of the present invention having various functional groups such as an amino group, a carboxyl group, an amido group, a hydroxyl group, and an alkylamino group can be easily synthesized by methods which are obvious to those skilled in the art, or modified methods thereof, using the compounds of the present invention having a corresponding nitro group, ester group, carboxyl group, amino group, and the like, as the starting materials. For example, these can be produced by the following reactions.
A compound having an amino group can be produced by reducing a compound having a nitro group. For example, the reaction can be carried out using a hydrogenation reaction which uses palladium-carbon, Raney nickel, or the like as the catalyst.
A compound having a carboxyl group can be produced by hydrolyzing a compound having an ester group. For example, this may be carried out in accordance with the deprotection reaction described in the aforementioned “Green's Protective Groups in Organic Synthesis”.
A compound having an alkylamino group can be produced by alkylating a compound having an amino group. As the alkylation reaction, the reaction can be carried out by a general method using various alkylating agents (for example, an alkyl halide, an alkyl sulfonic acid ester, and the like). In addition, a compound having an alkylamino group can be produced by carrying out reductive alkylation of a compound having an amino group with a carbonyl compound. The method described in “Jikken Kagaku Koza (Experimental Chemistry Course) (vol. 20) Yuki Gosei (Organic Synthesis) 2”, edited by The Chemical Society of Japan, 4th Edition, Maruzen, 1992, p. 300; or the like can be applied to the reaction.
The starting compounds (1) to (4) in the Production Processes described above can be produced, by a conventionally known method, or a modified method thereof. For example, the starting compound (I) can be produced directly by the following manner (a reaction route shown in the production process for the starting compound), or produced by removing the protecting group of —CO2R11 of the compound (1a) or (1b) obtained by the route.

An effect of the compound (I) on improvement on schizophrenia by was evaluated by measuring the inhibited motion through the administration of the compound in a model having a symptom caused by methamphetamine (which is hereinafter simply referred to MAP) and MK-801.
Species: Male ICR mouse
An animal was taken out of a breeding cage, orally administered with a compound to be tested, and then placed into a cage for breeding. After 30 minutes, the animal was put into a cage for measurement, and the motion with the compound to be tested alone was measured. Further, after 30 to 90 minutes, the animal was taken out, and intraperitoneally administered with a drug for increasing the motion (MAP; 1 mg/kg or MK-801; 0.3 mg/kg, dissolved in a physiological saline, respectively). Then, the motion for a certain period of time (60 minutes) was measured by using a motion measurement device (CompACT AMS from Muromachi Kikai Co., Ltd.) by means of an infrared sensor.
For a normal mouse (a mouse administered with physiological saline) and a mouse administered with a drug for increasing the motion, a Student's T test was performed for evaluation for each interval. For a group administered with the compound to be tested, an assay was performed using a solvent (vehicle) group and a Dunnett's T test. For the evaluation, if there was a significant difference (P<0.05), it was considered that there is an effect.
As a result of this test, the compound of the present invention inhibited the increase in the motion of the mouse. For example, the compound of Example 2-37 significantly inhibited the hyperactivity caused by methamphetamine at a dose of 0.03 mg/kg. The compound of Example 1-47 significantly inhibited the hyperactivity caused by MK-801 at a dose of 0.1 mg/kg, and the compound of Example 2-06 significantly inhibited the hyperactivity at a dose of 0.03 mg/kg.

An improvement effect for spontaneous alternation behavior caused by Scoporamine or MK-801 in mice
An effect of the compound (I) on improvement on cognitive impairment was evaluated by using a known performance test method as a model with short-term learning disorder.
Species: Male ddY mouse
The compound to be tested was administered orally 10 to 30 minutes before the test, and 0.5 mg/kg Scoporamine or 0.15 mg/kg MK-801 (for a normal group, physiological saline) was administered intraperitoreally, and the test was performed after 20 minutes. Also, the normal group (group administered with physiological saline) and a control group (group administered with 0.5 mg/kg Scoporamine or 0.15 mg/kg MK-801) were administered orally with a solvent (vehicle) upon administration of the compound to be test.
A mouse was placed at the end of one arm of a Y-maze having arms with the same length in three directions, and then explored freely and the number of arm entries was counted for 8 minutes. Furthermore, a spontaneous alternation behavior was defined as entries into all three different arms on consecutive occasions. The ratio of the number of the behaviors to the total number of entries was calculated as an alternation rate by the following formula:
Alternation rate (%)=(Number of spontaneous alternation behaviors/Total number of entries−2)×100.
If a significant difference between the normal group and the control group (Student's t test) was approved in the alternation rate (%), it was considered to have learning disorder by the administration of Scoporamine or MK-801. By carrying out a Dunnett's test on the group administered with the compound to be tested relative to the control group, the presence or absence of an action of the compound to be tested on learning disorder was evaluated. For each assay, it was considered that there was a significant difference when p<0.05.
As a result of the test, it was found that the compound of the present invention inhibited the spontaneous alternation behavior of the mouse. For example, the compound of Example 2-37 significantly improved the alternation rate caused by Scoporamine at a dose of 0.03 mg/kg.
As a result of the test, it was confirmed that the compound (I) has an effect on cognitive impairment.

A transmucosal agent such as an inhalations and a transmucosal agent can be used in a solid, liquid or semi-solid state, and may be produced in accordance with a conventionally known method. For example, a known excipient, and also a pH adjusting agent, an antiseptic, a surfactant, a lubricant, a stabilizer, a viscosity-increasing agent, and the like may be appropriately added thereto. For their administration, an appropriate device for inhalation or blowing may be used. For example, a compound may be administered alone or as a powder of a formulated mixture, or as a solution or suspension by combining it with a pharmaceutically acceptable carrier, using a conventionally known device or sprayer, such as a measured administration inhalation device. The dry powder inhaler or the like may be for single or multiple administration use, and a dry powder or a powder-containing capsule may be used. Alternatively, this may be in a form such as a high pressure aerosol spray which uses an appropriate propellant, for example, a suitable gas such as chlorofluoroalkane, hydrofluoroalkane, or carbon dioxide.
