The present invention relates to combinations comprising a positive allosteric modulator (“PAM”) of metabotropic glutamatergic receptor subtype 2 (“mGluR2”) or a pharmaceutically acceptable salt or a solvate thereof, or an orthosteric agonist of metabotropic glutamatergic receptor subtype 2 compound or a pharmaceutically acceptable salt or a solvate thereof, and a synaptic vesicle protein 2A (“SV2A”) ligand.
Epilepsy describes a condition in which a person has recurrent seizures due to a chronic, underlying process. Epilepsy refers to a clinical phenomenon rather than a single disease entity, since there are many forms and causes of epilepsy. Using a definition of epilepsy as two or more unprovoked seizures, the incidence of epilepsy is estimated at approximately 0.3 to 0.5 percent in different populations throughout the world, with the prevalence of epilepsy estimated at 5 to 10 people per 1000.
An essential step in the evaluation and management of a patient with a seizure is to determine the type of seizure that has occurred. The main characteristic that distinguishes the different categories of seizures is whether the seizure activity is partial (synonymous with focal) or generalized.
Partial seizures are those in which the seizure activity is restricted to discrete areas of the cerebral cortex. If consciousness is fully preserved during the seizure, the clinical manifestations are considered relatively simple and the seizure is termed a simple-partial seizure. If consciousness is impaired, the seizure is termed a complex-partial seizure. An important additional subgroup comprises those seizures that begin as partial seizures and then spread diffusely throughout the cortex, which are known as partial seizures with secondary generalization.
Generalized seizures involve diffuse regions of the brain simultaneously in a bilaterally symmetric fashion. Absence or petit mal seizures are characterized by sudden, brief lapses of consciousness without loss of postural control. Atypical absence seizures typically include a longer duration in the lapse of consciousness, less abrupt onset and cessation, and more obvious motor signs that may include focal or lateralizing features. Generalized tonic-clonic or grand mal seizures, the main type of generalized seizures, are characterized by abrupt onset, without warning. The initial phase of the seizure is usually tonic contraction of muscles, impaired respiration, a marked enhancement of sympathetic tone leading to increased heart rate, blood pressure, and pupillary size. After 10-20 s, the tonic phase of the seizure typically evolves into the clonic phase, produced by the superimposition of periods of muscle relaxation on the tonic muscle contraction. The periods of relaxation progressively increase until the end of the ictal phase, which usually lasts no more than 1 min. The postictal phase is characterized by unresponsiveness, muscular flaccidity, and excessive salivation that can cause stridorous breathing and partial airway obstruction. Atonic seizures are characterized by sudden loss of postural muscle tone lasting 1-2 s. Consciousness is briefly impaired, but there is usually no postictal confusion. Myoclonic seizures are characterized by a sudden and brief muscle contraction that may involve one part of the body or the entire body.
The synaptic vesicle protein 2A (“SV2A”) has been identified as a broad spectrum anticonvulsant target in models of partial and generalized epilepsy. Studies performed in animal models and human tissue suggest that changes in the expression of SV2A are implicated in epilepsy (for a review see for instance: (a) Mendoza-Torreblanca et al. “Synaptic vesicle protein 2A: basic facts and role in synaptic function” European Journal of Neuroscience 2013, pp. 1-11; (b) Kaminski R M, et al. “Targeting SV2A for Discovery of Antiepileptic Drugs”. In: Noebels J L, Avoli M, Rogawski M A, et al., editors. Jasper's Basic Mechanisms of the Epilepsies [Internet]. 4th edition. Bethesda (Md.): National Center for Biotechnology Information (US); 2012. Available from: http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/books/NBK98183/).
The exact role of SV2A remains unclear but studies suggest that changes in the expression of SV2A affect synaptic function (Nowack et al. “Levetiracetam reverses synaptic deficits produced by overexpression of SV2A” PLoS One 2011, Volume 6 (12), e29560). It has also been suggested that SV2A is a key player in exocytosis and is involved in neurotransmission (Crowder et al. “Abnormal neurotransmission in mice lacking synaptic vesicle protein 2A (SV2A)” Proc Nat Acad Sci USA 1999, 96, pp. 15268-15273) and studies in knock-out mice suggest that lack of SV2A results in an imbalance between glutamatergic and GABAergic neurotransmission (Venkatesan et al. “Altered balance between excitatory and inhibitory inputs onto CA pyramidal neurons from SV2A-deficient but not SV2B-deficient mice” J Neurosci Res 2012, 90, pp. 2317-2327). Decreased expression of SV2A may be a consequence of seizure activity and may be involved in the progression of epilepsy (van Vliet et al. “Decreased expression of synaptic vesicle protein 2A, the binding site for levetiracetam, during epileptogenesis and chronic epilepsy” Epilepsia 2009, 50, pp. 422-433; Feng et al. “Down-regulation of synaptic vesicle protein 2A in the anterior temporal neocortex of patients with intractable epilepsy” J Mol Neurosci 2009, 39, pp. 354-359; Toering et al. “Expression patterns of synaptic vesicle protein 2A in focal cortical dysplasia and TSC-cortical tubers” Epilepsia 2009, 50, pp. 1409-1418) and epileptogenesis in patients with brain tumours (de Groot et al. “Expression of synaptic vesicle protein 2A in epilepsy-associated brain tumors and in the peritumoral cortex” Neuro-Oncology 2010, 12, pp. 265-273).
SV2A ligands include levetiracetam (Lynch et al. “The synaptic vesicle protein SV2A is the binding site for the antiepileptic drug levetiracetam” Proc. Natl. Acad. Sci. USA 2004, Vol. 101, pp. 9861-9866), brivaracetam and seletracetam (Kaminski R M, et al. “Targeting SV2A for Discovery of Antiepileptic Drugs”. In: Noebels J L, Avoli M, Rogawski M A, et al., editors. Jasper's Basic Mechanisms of the Epilepsies [Internet]. 4th edition. Bethesda (Md.): National Center for Biotechnology Information (US); 2012. Available from: http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/books/NBK98183/; Nowack et al. “Levetiracetam reverses synaptic deficits produced by overexpression of SV2A” PLoSone December 2011, Vol. 6(12), e29560).
Levetiracetam, (−)-(S)-α-ethyl-2-oxo-1-pyrrolidine acetamide or (S)-2-(2-oxopyrrolidin-1-yl)butanamide,
is an antiepileptic drug. It showed no activity in traditional acute models (maximal electroshock and pentylenetetrazol seizure tests) but was found potent in chronic epilepsy models and in genetic models of generalized epilepsy. It has shown a high safety margin compared to other antiepileptic drugs (Klitgaard “Levetiracetam: the preclinical profile of a new class of antiepileptic drugs” Epilepsia 2001, 42 (Supplement 4), pp. 13-18). It is commercialized under the trademark Keppra®, available as tablets, as an oral solution, and as a concentrate made up into a solution for infusion. Keppra® has been approved in Europe as a monotherapy in patients from 16 years of age with newly diagnosed epilepsy, in the treatment of partial-onset seizures (fits) with or without secondary generalization and as an add-on therapy for use with other anti-epileptic drugs in the treatment of partial-onset seizures with or without generalization in patients from 1 month of age; myoclonic seizures in patients from 12 years of age with juvenile myoclonic epilepsy; and primary generalized tonic-clonic seizures in patients from 12 years of age with idiopathic generalized epilepsy (www.ema.europa.eu). Keppra® has also been approved in the USA as an add-on therapy for the treatment of partial onset seizures in patients from 1 month of age; myoclonic seizures in patients 12 years of age and older with juvenile myoclonic epilepsy; and primary generalized tonic-clonic seizures in patients 6 years of age and older with idiopathic generalized epilepsy. Keppra XR®, available as extended-release tablets, has been approved in the USA for the add-on treatment of partial onset seizures in patients 16 years of age and older with epilepsy (http://www.accessdata.fda.gov/scripts/cder/drugsatfda/index.cfm).
Brivaracetam, the 4-n-propyl analog of levetiracetam, (2S)-2-[(4R)-oxo-4-propyl-pyrrolidin-1-yl]butanamide,
is in clinical trials and investigated as monotherapy in partial onset seizures and post-herpetic neuralgia and as add-on therapy in refractory partial onset seizures, Unverricht-Lundborg disease in adolescents and adults and in photosensitive epilepsy (www.clinicaltrials.gov).
Seletracetam, (2S)-2-[(4S)-4-(2,2,-difluorovinyl)-2-oxo-pyrrolidin-1-yl]butanamide,
has been tested in clinical trials.
Processes for the preparation of the three compounds are known in the literature. For instance, processes for making Levetiracetam are disclosed for instance, in EP 0 162 036 and in GB 2 225 322. A process for the preparation of Brivaracetam is disclosed for instance in WO 01/62726. A process for the preparation of Seletracetam is known for instance from WO2005/121082. Alternative processes for making the three compounds are disclosed in EP1806339.
Antiepileptic drugs have found usefulness in neurological and psychiatric disorders, including neuropathic pain, migraine, essential tremor and in anxiety, schizophrenia and bipolar disorder (Landmarck “Antiepileptic drugs in non-epilepsy disorders. Relations between mechanisms of action and clinical efficacy” CNS Drugs 2008, Vol. 22(1), pp. 27-47; Calabresi et al. “Antiepileptic drugs in migraine: from clinical aspects to cellular mechanisms” Trends in Pharmacological Sciences 2007, Vol. 28(4), pp. 188-195; Rogawski and Löscher “The neurobiology of antiepileptic drugs for the treatment of nonepileptic conditions” Nat Med 2004, Vol. 10, pp. 685-692).
Levetiracetam has been found effective or potentially effective in a wide-spectrum of neuropsychiatric disorders including mood disorders (Muralidharan and Bhagwagar “Potential of levetiracetam in mood disorders: a preliminary review” CNS Drugs 2006, Vol. 20, pp. 969-979; Mula et al. “The role of anticonvulsant drugs in anxiety disorders: a critical review of the evidence” J Clin Pshycopharmacol 2007, Vol. 27, pp. 263-272), anxiety disorders (Kinrys et al. “Levetiracetam as adjunctive therapy for refractory anxiety disorders” J Clin Psychiatry 2007, Vol. 68, pp. 1010-1013; Zhang et al. “Levetiracetam in social phobia: a placebo controlled pilot study” J Psychopharmacol 2005, Vol. 19, pp. 551-553; Kinrys et al. “Levetiracetam for treatment-refractory posttraumatic stress disorder” J Clin Psychiatry 2006, Vol. 67, pp. 211-214), pain (Enggaard et al. “Specific effect of levetiracetam in experimental human pain models” Eur J Pain 2006, Vol. 10, pp. 193-198; Dunteman “Levetiracetam as an adjunctive analgesic in neoplastic plexopathies: case series and commentary” J Pain Palliative Care Pharmacother 2005, Vol. 19, pp. 35-43; Price “Levetiracetam in the treatment of neuropathic pain: three case studies” Clin J Pain 2004, Vol. 20, pp. 33-36), movement disorders (Bushara et al. “The effect of levetiracetam on essential tremor” Neurology 2005, Vol. 64, pp. 1078-1080; McGavin et al “Levetiracetam as a treatment for tardive dyskinesia: a case report” Neurology 2003, Vol. 61, pp. 419; Woods et al. “Effects of levetiracetam on tardive dyskinesia: a randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled study” J Clin Psychiatry 2008, Vol. 69, pp. 546-554; Zivkovic et al. “Treatment of tardive dyskinesia with levetiracetam in a transplant patient” Acta Neurol Scand 2008, Vol. 117, pp. 351-353; Striano et al. “Dramatic response to levetiracetam in post-ischaemic Holmes' tremor” J Neurol Neurosurg Psychiatry 2007, Vol. 78, pp. 438-439) and it is suspected to show potentially beneficial effects in cognitive functioning (Piazzini et al. “Levetiracetam: An improvement of attention and of oral fluency in patients with partial epilepsy” Epilepsy Research 2006, Vol. 68, pp. 181-188; de Groot et al. “Levetiracetam improves verbal memory in high-grade glioma patients” Neuro-oncology 2013, Vol. 15(2), pp. 216-223; Bakker et al. “Reduction of hippocampal hyperactivity improves cognition in amnestic mild cognitive impairment” Neuron 2012, Vol. 74, pp. 467-474; for a review: Eddy et al. “The cognitive impact of antiepileptic drugs” Ther Adv Neurol Disord 2011, Vol. 4(6), pp. 385-407 and references cited therein; Wheless “Levetiracetam in the treatment of childhood epilepsy” Neuropsychiatric Disease and Treatment 2007, Vol. 3(4), pp. 409-421), and behavioral symptoms in dementia (Dolder and Nealy “The efficacy and safety of newer anticonvulsants in patients with dementia” Drugs Aging 2012, Vol. 29(8), pp. 627-637). Animal data and some preliminary clinical trials suggest that levetiracetam may have potential for restraining post-traumatic epilepsy, such as those caused by status epilepticus, traumatic brain injury and ischemic stroke, and it appears to have neuroprotective effects. The potential of levetiracetam in easing epileptogenesis or cognitive dysfunction remains to be ascertained by conclusive animal and clinical studies (for reviews: Löscher and Brandt “Prevention or modification of epileptogenesis after brain insults: experimental approaches and translational research” Pharmacol Rev 2010, Vol. 62, 668-700; Shetty “Prospects of levetiracetam as a neuroprotective drug against status epilepticus, traumatic brain injury and stroke” Front. Neur. 2013, 4:172. Doi: 10.3389/fneur.2013.00172) as it has displayed antiepileptogenic activity in the kindling model in mice and rats. It has also been suggested that levetiracetam inhibits glutamate release (Lee et al. “Levetiracetam inhibits glutamate transmission through presynaptic P/Q-type calcium channels on the granule cells of the dentate gyrus” British Journal of Pharmacology 2009, Vol. 158, pp. 1753-1762).
Seletracetam and Brivaracetam, have been found to reduce the severity of dystonia in the dtsz mutant hamster model and may be helpful in some patients suffering from dyskinetic and dystonic movement disorders (Hamann et al. “Brivaracetam and seletracetam, two new SV2A ligands, improve paroxysmal dystonia in the dtsz mutant hamster” European Journal of Pharmacology 2008, Vol. 601, pp. 99-102).
Positive allosteric modulators of mGluR2 have emerged recently as promising novel therapeutic approaches for the treatment of several CNS disorders, including epilepsy, and some mGluR2 PAMs are currently undergoing clinical trials for the treatment of schizophrenia, and anxiety-depression (www.clinicaltrials.gov, see for instance: JNJ-40411813/ADX71149 by Addex Therapeutics and Janssen Pharmaceuticals, Inc.). The initial suggestion that drugs that dampen glutamatergic transmission may be efficacious in the treatment of epilepsy came from acute non-clinical studies with mixed mGlu2/3 receptor agonists (Moldrich et al. “Glutamate metabotropic receptors as targets for drug therapy in epilepsy” Eur J Pharmacol. 2003, Vol. 476, pp. 3-16). LY379268 and LY389795, two mGlu2/3 receptor agonists, were found ineffective in blocking MES seizures up to doses producing motor impairment but were found effective in the 6 Hz model in a dose-dependent manner (Barton et al. “Comparison of the effect of glutamate receptor modulators in the 6 Hz and maximal electroshock seizure models” Epilepsy Research 2003, Vol. 56, pp. 17-26). Continued administration of an mGlu2/3 agonist paradoxically induced seizure activity in long-term toxicology studies (Dunayevich et al. “Efficacy and tolerability of an mGlu2/3 agonist in the treatment of generalized anxiety disorder” Neuropsychopharmacology. 2008, Vol. 33(7), pp. 1603-10). This paradoxical effect may be related to agonist-induced changes in the sensitivity of the receptor system (tachyphylaxis), but has not been reported however in preclinical models of epilepsy. Positive allosteric modulators, in contrast, modulate ongoing neurotransmission but are not directly stimulatory, thereby reducing the risk for tachyphylaxis.
Prior to seizure activity, increases in extracellular glutamate are measured in human hippocampus and the increase is sustained during epileptogenic activity (During and Spencer “Extracellular hippocampal glutamate and spontaneous seizure in the conscious human brain” Lancet 1993, Vol. 341(8861), pp. 1607-10), thus lending support to the idea that a reduction in glutamate levels may be of benefit in the treatment of epilepsy. In fact, during seizure activity glutamate levels increase to potentially neurotoxic levels. Seizure activity results in progressive structural damage in human brain inducing further abnormalities in glutamate metabolism (Petroff et al. “Glutamate-glutamine cycling in the epileptic human hippocampus” Epilepsia 2002, Vol. 43(7), pp. 703-10). Thus, an mGluR2 positive allosteric modulator or an mGluR2 orthosteric agonist may be expected to protect against seizure-induced neuronal damage.
WO2009/033704 and WO2010/130424 disclose mGluR2 positive allosteric modulators, uses thereof and processes for synthesizing the compounds. WO1997/18199 and WO2003/104217 disclose excitatory amino acid receptor modulator compounds that later were shown to have mGlu2/3 orthosteric agonist activity (see for example Rorick-Kehn et al. (2007) The Journal of Pharmacology and Experimental therapeutics Vol. 321, No. 1, pp. 308-317), further scientific and patent literature disclose additional examples of compounds having mGlu2/3 orthosteric agonist activity, and WO2008/150233 discloses compounds with mGluR2 allosteric activator activity.
Currently available anti-epileptic drugs do not solely affect glutamatergic transmission. Their mechanism of action is generally conceptualized as altering the balance between excitatory (glutamate-mediated) and inhibitory (GABA-mediated) transmission (Johannessen Landmark “Antiepileptic drugs in non-epilepsy disorders: relations between mechanisms of action and clinical efficacy” CNS Drugs 2008, Vol. 22(1), pp. 27-47).
A significant limiting factor in the use of SV2A ligands is tolerability and side-effect profile. For example the effective dose of levetiracetam for partial onset seizures is dosed at 1000 mg, 2000 mg, and 3000 mg, given as twice-daily. The side effects reported for levetiracetam include aggressive or angry behavior, anxiety, change in personality, chills, cough or hoarseness, crying, depersonalization, diarrhea, dry mouth, euphoria, fever, general feeling of discomfort or illness, headache, hyperventilation, irregular heartbeats, irritability, joint pain, loss of appetite, lower back or side pain, mental depression, muscle aches and pains, nausea, painful or difficult urination, paranoia, quick to react or overreact emotionally, rapidly changing moods, restlessness, shaking, shivering, shortness of breath, sleepiness or unusual drowsiness, sore throat, stuffy or runny nose, sweating, trouble sleeping, unusual tiredness or weakness and vomiting. Thus, there is still a need to provide an effective treatment with a lower effective dose of levetiracetam and a more favourable side effect profile for the treatment of epilepsy and related disorders, not only in the adult but also in the pediatric population.

The (b) components of the combination of the invention are in general referred to herein as “mGluR2 compounds” or “mGluR2 PAM/agonist compounds”, or “positive allosteric modulator of mGluR2/mGluR2 orthosteric agonist compound” meaning that the compounds have mainly activity at the metabotropic glutamatergic receptor subtype 2, and are in particular selected from positive allosteric modulators (PAMs) of metabotropic glutamatergic receptor subtype 2, and orthosteric agonists of metabotropic glutamatergic receptor subtype 2. A skilled person will be familiar with the large homology of mGluR2 and mGluR3, due to which some mGluR2 orthosteric agonists also display activity as mGluR3 orthosteric agonists. Such is the case for example, of (−)-(1R,4S,5S,6S)-4-amino-2-sulfonylbicyclo[3.1.0]-hexane-4,6-dicarboxylic acid (also known as LY-404,039 [CAS 635318-11-5]), with a Ki=149 nM (mGlu2 receptor) and Ki=92 nM (mGlu3 receptor), 100-fold selectivity for mGlu2 and mGlu3 over mGlu4a, -6, -7a, and -8a, and no activity at mGlu1a and mGlu5a (Rorick-Kehn et al. (2007) The Journal of Pharmacology and Experimental Therapeutics Vol. 321, No. 1, pp. 308-317).

It will be appreciated that some of the mGluR2 compounds, in particular the mGluR2 PAM/agonist compounds of the invention and their pharmaceutically acceptable addition salts and solvates thereof may contain one or more centres of chirality and exist as stereoisomeric forms.
The term “compounds of the invention” as used herein, is meant to include the mGluR2 PAM compounds, in particular the compounds of Formula (I)/(I-A)/(I-B), and the mGluR2 agonist compounds as disclosed herein, and the salts and solvates thereof.
As used herein, any chemical formula with bonds shown only as solid lines and not as solid wedged or hashed wedged bonds, or otherwise indicated as having a particular configuration (e.g. R, S) around one or more atoms, contemplates each possible stereoisomer, or mixture of two or more stereoisomers.
Hereinbefore and hereinafter, the terms “mGluR2 compound” and “mGluR2 PAM/agonist compound” are meant to include the stereoisomers thereof and the tautomeric forms thereof. The terms “stereoisomers”, “stereoisomeric forms” or “stereochemically isomeric forms” hereinbefore or hereinafter are used interchangeably. The invention includes all stereoisomers of the compounds of the invention either as a pure stereoisomer or as a mixture of two or more stereoisomers. Enantiomers are stereoisomers that are non-superimposable mirror images of each other. A 1:1 mixture of a pair of enantiomers is a racemate or racemic mixture. Diastereomers (or diastereoisomers) are stereoisomers that are not enantiomers, i.e. they are not related as mirror images. If a compound contains a double bond, the substituents may be in the E or the Z configuration. Substituents on bivalent cyclic (partially) saturated radicals may have either the cis- or trans-configuration; for example if a compound contains a disubstituted cycloalkyl group, the substituents may be in the cis or trans configuration. Therefore, the invention includes enantiomers, diastereomers, racemates, E isomers, Z isomers, cis isomers, trans isomers and mixtures thereof, whenever chemically possible. The meaning of all those terms, i.e. enantiomers, diastereomers, racemates, E isomers, Z isomers, cis isomers, trans isomers and mixtures thereof are known to the skilled person. The absolute configuration is specified according to the Cahn-Ingold-Prelog system. The configuration at an asymmetric atom is specified by either R or S. Resolved stereoisomers whose absolute configuration is not known can be designated by (+) or (−) depending on the direction in which they rotate plane polarized light. For instance, resolved enantiomers whose absolute configuration is not known can be designated by (+) or (−) depending on the direction in which they rotate plane polarized light.
When a specific stereoisomer is identified, this means that said stereoisomer is substantially free, i.e. associated with less than 50%, preferably less than 20%, more preferably less than 10%, even more preferably less than 5%, in particular less than 2% and most preferably less than 1%, of the other isomers. Thus, when a mGluR2 compound is for instance specified as (R), this means that the compound is substantially free of the (S) isomer; when a mGluR2 compound is for instance specified as E, this means that the compound is substantially free of the Z isomer; when a mGluR2 compound is for instance specified as cis, this means that the compound is substantially free of the trans isomer.
Some of the mGluR2 compounds may also exist in their tautomeric form. Such forms in so far as they may exist, although not explicitly indicated in the above formula are intended to be included within the scope of the present invention.
It follows that a single compound may exist in both stereoisomeric and tautomeric forms.
For use in medicine, the salts of the compounds of this invention refer to non-toxic “pharmaceutically acceptable salts” (salts of the compounds of the present invention wherein the counterion is pharmaceutically acceptable). Other salts may, however, be useful in the preparation or purification of compounds according to this invention or of their pharmaceutically acceptable salts, and may encompass acids and bases which are non-pharmaceutically acceptable. All salts, whether pharmaceutically acceptable or not, are included within the ambit of the present invention.
The pharmaceutically acceptable acid and base addition salts as mentioned hereinabove or hereinafter are meant to comprise the therapeutically active non-toxic acid and base addition salt forms which the compounds of the invention are able to form. Suitable pharmaceutically acceptable salts of the compounds include acid addition salts which may, for example, be formed by mixing a solution of the compound with a solution of a pharmaceutically acceptable acid such as for example, inorganic acids such as hydrohalic acids, e.g. hydrochloric or hydrobromic acid, sulfuric, nitric, phosphoric and the like acids; or organic acids such as, for example, acetic, propanoic, hydroxyacetic, lactic, pyruvic, oxalic (i.e. ethanedioic), malonic, succinic (i.e. butanedioic acid), maleic, fumaric, malic, tartaric, citric, methanesulfonic, ethanesulfonic, benzenesulfonic, p-toluenesulfonic, cyclamic, salicylic, p-aminosalicylic, pamoic and the like acids. Conversely, said salt forms can be converted by treatment with an appropriate base into the free base form. Furthermore, where the compounds of the invention carry an acidic moiety, suitable pharmaceutically acceptable salts thereof may include organic and inorganic bases. Appropriate base salt forms comprise, for example, the ammonium salts, the alkali and alkaline earth metal salts, e.g. the lithium, sodium, potassium, magnesium, calcium salts and the like, salts with organic bases, e.g. primary, secondary and tertiary aliphatic and aromatic amines such as methylamine, ethylamine, propylamine, isopropylamine, the four butylamine isomers, dimethylamine, diethylamine, diethanolamine, dipropylamine, diisopropylamine, di-n-butylamine, pyrrolidine, piperidine, morpholine, trimethylamine, triethylamine, tripropylamine, quinuclidine, pyridine, quinoline and isoquinoline; the benzathine, N-methyl-D-glucamine, hydrabamine salts, and salts with amino acids such as, for example, arginine, lysine and the like. Conversely, the salt form can be converted by treatment with acid into the free acid form.
The term “solvate” comprises the solvent addition forms as well as the salts thereof, which the compounds of Formula (I) are able to form. Examples of such solvent addition forms are e.g. hydrates, alcoholates and the like.
Preparation of the Compounds of Formula (I-B)
The compounds of Formula (I-B) according to the invention can generally be prepared by a succession of steps, each of which is known to the skilled person. In particular, the compounds can be prepared according to the following synthesis methods.
The compounds of Formula (I-B) may be synthesized in the form of racemic mixtures of enantiomers which can be separated from one another following art-known resolution procedures. The racemic compounds of Formula (I-B) may be converted into the corresponding diastereomeric salt forms by reaction with a suitable chiral acid. Said diastereomeric salt forms are subsequently separated, for example, by selective or fractional crystallization and the enantiomers are liberated therefrom by alkali. An alternative manner of separating the enantiomeric forms of the compounds of Formula (I-B) involves liquid chromatography or supercritical fluid chromatography (SFC) using a chiral stationary phase. Said pure stereochemically isomeric forms may also be derived from the corresponding pure stereochemically isomeric forms of the appropriate starting materials, provided that the reaction occurs stereospecifically.

An effective amount of the drug is ordinarily supplied at a dosage level of from about 0.01 mg/kg to about 150.0 mg/kg of body weight per day or any range therein. Preferably, the range is from about 0.1 to about 100.0 mg/kg of body weight per day, more preferably, from about 0.5 mg/kg to about 50 mg/kg, more preferably, from about 1.0 to about 25.0 mg/kg of body weight per day. The compounds may be administered on a regimen of 1, 2, 3 or 4 times per day. All amounts mentioned in this and the following paragraphs refer to the free form (i.e. non-salt form). The above values represent free-form equivalents, i.e. quantities as if the free form would be administered. If salts are administered the amounts need to be calculated in function of the molecular weight ratio between the salt and the free form.
The above mentioned daily doses are calculated for an average body weight of about 70 kg and should be recalculated in case of pediatric applications, or when used with patients with a substantially diverting body weight.
The dosages may be presented as one, two, three or four or more sub-doses administered at appropriate intervals throughout the day. The dosage used preferably corresponds to the daily amount of the mGluR2 PAM/agonist compound, in particular of the compound of Formula (I)/(I-A)/(I-B), or of the SV2A ligand, mentioned above, or a sub-dose thereof, such as ½, ⅓, ¼ thereof. A dosage form may contain the mGluR2 PAM/agonist compound, in particular the compound (I)/(I-A)/(I-B), or the SV2A ligand or both together, in an amount equal to the ranges or quantities mentioned in the previous paragraphs, for example a dosage form may contain 10 mg, 25 mg, 50 mg, 100 mg, 150 mg, or 200 mg of mGluR2 PAM/agonist compound, in particular of compound (I)/(I-A)/(I-B), 10 mg, 25 mg, 50 mg, 100 mg or 250 mg, of SV2A ligand, either in separate formulations or in a combined formulation. In one embodiment, the mGluR2 PAM/agonist compound, in particular the compound of Formula (I)/(I-A)/(I-B), is administered once daily (q.d.), in particular as one dose per day, and the SV2A ligand is administered once or twice daily (q.d. or b.i.d.), in particular as one or as two doses per day. In the instance where both compounds are to be administered once daily, this can be accomplished by administering two separate doses, one with the mGluR2 PAM/agonist compound, in particular the compound of Formula (I)/(I-A)/(I-B), one with the SV2A ligand, or by administering a combined dose containing the mGluR2 PAM/agonist compound, in particular the compound of Formula (I)/(I-A)/(I-B), and SV2A ligand.
The combinations of the invention may be administered once, twice, three, four, or if desired, multiple times daily. In one embodiment, the combination is administered once daily. In another embodiment, the combination is administered twice daily, or three times per day. Administration of dosages may be by separate dosage forms, i.e. dosage forms only containing mGluR2 PAM/agonist compound, in particular compound of Formula (I)/(I-A)/(I-B), or only SV2A ligand; or by combined dosage forms containing active ingredients mGluR2 PAM/agonist compound, in particular compound of Formula (I)/(I-A)/(I-B), and SV2A ligand. Also, a mix of using a combined dosage form and separate dosage forms can be used. Dosage forms that can be administered are described hereinafter, oral dosage forms, in particular tablets or capsules being preferred.
Active ingredients may be formulated in pharmaceutical compositions either separately or as a combined pharmaceutical composition. In the latter instance, there is provided a pharmaceutical composition comprising a therapeutically effective amount of the mGluR2 PAM/agonist compound, in particular of the compound of Formula (I)/(I-A)/(I-B), or a pharmaceutically acceptable salt thereof, and the SV2A ligand, the foregoing being as specified herein, and a pharmaceutically acceptable carrier.
In a further aspect, this invention relates to a process for preparing a pharmaceutical composition as specified herein, which comprises intimately mixing a pharmaceutically acceptable carrier with a therapeutically effective amount of the mGluR2 PAM/agonist compound, in particular of the compound of Formula (I)/(I-A)/(I-B), or a pharmaceutically acceptable salt or a solvate thereof, and a therapeutically effective amount of at least one SV2A ligand.
The combinations provided herein may also be formulated as a combined preparation for simultaneous, separate or sequential use in the prevention or treatment of epilepsy and related disorders; neuropathic pain; migraine or resistant headache; bipolar and related disorders; in neuroprotection; or in the prevention of epileptogenesis. In such a case, the mGluR2 PAM/agonist compound, in particular the compound of Formula (I)/(I-A)/(I-B), is formulated in a pharmaceutical composition containing other pharmaceutically acceptable excipients, and the SV2A ligand is formulated separately in a pharmaceutical composition containing other pharmaceutically acceptable excipients. Conveniently, these separate pharmaceutical compositions can be part of a kit for simultaneous, separate, or sequential use.
The individual components of the combination of the present invention can be administered simultaneously or separately at different times during the course of therapy or concurrently in divided or single combination forms.
Therefore, the mGluR2 PAM/agonist compounds, in particular the compounds of Formula (I)/(I-A)/(I-B), and the SV2A ligand, individually or combined, may be formulated into various pharmaceutical compositions suitable for administration purposes. In these, a therapeutically effective amount of the particular compound, or of both two compounds, is combined with a pharmaceutically acceptable carrier, which carrier may take a wide variety of forms depending on the form of preparation desired for administration. Pharmaceutical compositions may be prepared as medicaments to be administered orally, parenterally (including subcutaneously (s.c.), intramuscularly (i.m.), and intravenously (i.v.)), rectally, transdermally, bucally, or nasally. The pharmaceutical compositions may also be prepared to be administered directly to the nervous system by routes including, but not limited to, intracerebral, intraventricular, intracerebroventricular, intrathecal, intracisternal, intraspinal and/or peri-spinal route by delivery via intracranial or intravertebral needles and/or catheters with or without pump devices. Suitable compositions for oral administration include powders, granulates, aggregates, tablets, compressed or coated pills, dragees, sachets, hard or gelatin capsules, syrups and suspensions. Suitable compositions for parenteral administration include aqueous or non-aqueous solutions or emulsions, while for rectal administration suitable compositions for administration include suppositories with a hydrophilic or hydrophobic vehicle. For topical administration suitable transdermal delivery systems can be used and for nasal delivery suitable aerosol delivery systems can be used.
For example, in preparing the compositions for oral administration, any of the usual pharmaceutical media may be employed such as, for example, water, glycols, oils, alcohols and the like in the case of oral liquid compositions such as suspensions, syrups, elixirs, emulsions and solutions; or solid carriers such as starches, sugars, kaolin, lubricants, binders, disintegrating agents and the like in the case of solid compositions. For parenteral compositions, the carrier will usually comprise sterile water, at least in large part, though other ingredients, such as solubilizers, emulsifiers or further auxiliaries may be added thereto. Injectable solutions may be prepared in which the carrier comprises saline solution, glucose solution or a mixture of both. Injectable suspensions may also be prepared in which case appropriate liquid carriers, suspending agents and the like may be employed. Also included are solid form preparations intended to be converted, shortly before use, to liquid form preparations such as powders for reconstitution. In the compositions suitable for percutaneous administration, the carrier optionally comprises a skin penetration enhancing agent and/or a wetting agent, optionally combined with suitable skin-compatible additives in minor proportions. The mGluR2 PAM/agonist compound, in particular the compound of Formula (I)/(I-A)/(I-B), or SV2A ligand, or combinations thereof, may also be administered via oral inhalation or insufflation by formulations suited for this type of administration such as a solution, a suspension or a dry powder. Suitable pharmaceutical compositions for administration in the form of aerosols or sprays are, for example, suspensions of the mGluR2 PAM/agonist compound, in particular of the compound of Formula (I)/(I-A)/(I-B), or SV2A ligand, or both, in a pharmaceutically acceptable liquid carrier, such as ethanol or water, or a mixture thereof. If required, the formulation can also additionally contain other pharmaceutical auxiliaries such as surfactants, emulsifiers and stabilizers as well as a propellant. Such a preparation customarily contains the active compound in a concentration from approximately 0.1 to 50%, in particular from approximately 0.3 to 3% by weight.
The pharmaceutical compositions may contain the active ingredient mGluR2 PAM/agonist compound, in particular compound of Formula (I)/(I-A)/(I-B), or the SV2A ligand, or both combined in a concentration of about 0.1% to about 50%, or about 1% to about 30%, or about 3% to about 20%, or about 5% to about 20%, all percentages being by weight, wherein the total of all components in said pharmaceutical compositions does not exceed 100%. In the compositions containing both two compounds mGluR2 PAM/agonist compound, in particular compound of Formula (I)/(I-A)/(I-B), and SV2A ligand, the mGluR2 PAM/agonist compound, in particular the compound of Formula (I)/(I-A)/(I-B), is present in a concentration of about 0.1% to about 50%, or about 1% to about 30%, or about 3% to about 20%, or about 5% to about 20%; and the SV2A ligand is present in a concentration of about 3% to about 50%, or about 5% to about 50%, or about 10% to about 50%, or about 10% to about 40%, or about 10% to about 30%, wherein the total of all components in said pharmaceutical compositions does not exceed 100%.
The pharmaceutical compositions may be conveniently presented in unit dosage form for ease of administration and uniformity of dosage. Examples include tablets (including scored or coated tablets), capsules, pills, suppositories, powder packets, wafers, injectable solutions or suspensions and the like, and segregated multiples thereof. Of interest are solid dosage forms for oral administration such as tablets or capsules.
The solid dosage forms in unit dose form may be packed in any known package, blister packs being preferred, in particular for tablets and capsules. Where the mGluR2 PAM/agonist compound, in particular the compound of Formula (I)/(I-A)/(I-B), and SV2A ligand are formulated separately, they could be packed in separate blisters, but one blister could as well comprise unit dose forms of the mGluR2 PAM/agonist compound, in particular of the compound of Formula (I)/(I-A)/(I-B), and of the SV2A ligand, for example one row with units of mGluR2 PAM/agonist compound, in particular of compound of Formula (I)/(I-A)/(I-B), and another with SV2A ligand. Other possibilities may be possible as well.

Analytical Part
Optical Rotations
Optical rotations were measured on a Perkin-Elmer 341 polarimeter with a sodium lamp and reported as follows: [α]° (λ, c g/100 ml, solvent, T° C.).
[α]λT=(100α)/(l×c): where l is the path length in dm and c is the concentration in g/100 ml for a sample at a temperature T (° C.) and a wavelength λ (in nm). If the wavelength of light used is 589 nm (the sodium D line), then the symbol D might be used instead. The sign of the rotation (+ or −) should always be given. When using this equation the concentration and solvent are always provided in parentheses after the rotation. The rotation is reported using degrees and no units of concentration are given (it is assumed to be g/100 ml).
LCMS
For (LC)MS-characterization of the compounds of the present invention, the following methods were used.
General Procedure
The High Performance Liquid Chromatography (HPLC) measurement was performed using a LC pump, a diode-array (DAD) or a UV detector and a column as specified in the respective methods. If necessary, additional detectors were included (see table of methods below).
Flow from the column was brought to the Mass Spectrometer (MS) which was configured with an atmospheric pressure ion source. It is within the knowledge of the skilled person to set the tune parameters (e.g. scanning range, dwell time . . . ) in order to obtain ions allowing the identification of the compound's nominal monoisotopic molecular weight (MW). Data acquisition was performed with appropriate software. Compounds are described by their experimental retention times (Re) and ions. If not specified differently in the table of data, the reported molecular ion corresponds to the [M+H]+ (protonated molecule) and/or [M−H]− (deprotonated molecule). In case the compound was not directly ionizable the type of adduct is specified (i.e. [M+NH4]+, [M+HCOO]−, etc. . . . ). For molecules with multiple isotopic patterns (Br, Cl . . . ), the reported value is the one obtained for the lowest isotope mass. All results were obtained with experimental uncertainties that are commonly associated with the method used. Hereinafter, “SQD” means Single Quadrupole Detector, “RT” room temperature, “BEH” bridged ethylsiloxane/silica hybrid, “HSS” High Strength Silica, “DAD” Diode Array Detector.
Melting Points
Values are peak values, and are obtained with experimental uncertainties that are commonly associated with this analytical method.
Mettler FP 81HT/FP90 Apparatus
For a number of compounds, melting points were determined in open capillary tubes on a FP 81HT/FP90 apparatus (Mettler-Toledo). Melting points were measured with a temperature gradient of 1, 3, 5 or 10° C./minute. Maximum temperature was 300° C. The melting point was read from a digital display.

In Vitro Testing of Compounds of Formula (I-B)
The compounds of Formula (I-B) provided in the present invention are positive allosteric modulators of mGluR2. These compounds appear to potentiate glutamate responses by binding to an allosteric site other than the glutamate binding site. The response of mGluR2 to a concentration of glutamate is increased when compounds of Formula (I-B) are present. Compounds of Formula (I-B) are expected to have their effect substantially at mGluR2 by virtue of their ability to enhance the function of the receptor. The effects of positive allosteric modulators tested at mGluR2 using the [35S]GTPγS binding assay method described below and which is suitable for the identification of such compounds, and more particularly the compounds according to Formula (I-B), are shown in Table E.
[35S]GTPγS Binding Assay
The [35S]GTPγS binding assay is a functional membrane-based assay used to study G-protein coupled receptor (GPCR) function whereby incorporation of a non-hydrolysable form of GTP, [35S]GTPγS (guanosine 5′-triphosphate, labelled with gamma-emitting 35S), is measured. The G-protein α subunit catalyzes the exchange of guanosine 5′-diphosphate (GDP) by guanosine triphosphate (GTP) and on activation of the GPCR by an agonist, [35S]GTPγS, becomes incorporated and cannot be cleaved to continue the exchange cycle (Harper (1998) Current Protocols in Pharmacology 2.6.1-10, John Wiley & Sons, Inc.). The amount of radioactive [35S]GTPγS incorporation is a direct measure of the activity of the G-protein and hence the activity of the agonist can be determined. mGlu2 receptors are shown to be preferentially coupled to Gαi-protein, a preferential coupling for this method, and hence it is widely used to study receptor activation of mGlu2 receptors both in recombinant cell lines and in tissues. Here we describe the use of the [35S]GTPγS binding assay using membranes from cells transfected with the human mGlu2 receptor and adapted from Schaffhauser et al. (Molecular Pharmacology, 2003, 4:798-810) for the detection of the positive allosteric modulation (PAM) properties of the compounds of this invention.
Membrane Preparation
CHO-cells were cultured to pre-confluence and stimulated with 5 mM butyrate for 24 h. Cells were then collected by scraping in PBS and cell suspension was centrifuged (10 min at 4000 RPM in benchtop centrifuge). Supernatant was discarded and pellet gently resuspended in 50 mM Tris-HCl, pH 7.4 by mixing with a vortex and pipetting up and down. The suspension was centrifuged at 16,000 RPM (Sorvall RC-5C plus rotor SS-34) for 10 minutes and the supernatant discarded. The pellet was homogenized in 5 mM Tris-HCl, pH 7.4 using an ultra-turrax homogenizer and centrifuged again (18,000 RPM, 20 min, 4° C.). The final pellet was resuspended in 50 mM Tris-HCl, pH 7.4 and stored at −80° C. in appropriate aliquots before use. Protein concentration was determined by the Bradford method (Bio-Rad, USA) with bovine serum albumin as standard.
[35S]GTPγS Binding Assay
Measurement of mGluR2 positive allosteric modulatory activity of test compounds was performed as follows. Test compounds and glutamate were diluted in assay buffer containing 10 mM HEPES acid, 10 mM HEPES salt, pH 7.4, 100 mM NaCl, 3 mM MgCl2 and 10 μM GDP. Human mGlu2 receptor-containing membranes were thawed on ice and diluted in assay buffer supplemented with 14 μg/ml saponin. Membranes were pre-incubated with compound alone or together with a predefined (˜EC20) concentration of glutamate (PAM assay) for 30 min at 30° C. After addition of [35S]GTPγS (f.c. 0.1 nM), assay mixtures were shaken briefly and further incubated to allow [35S]GTPγS incorporation on activation (30 minutes, 30° C.). Final assay mixtures contained 7 μg of membrane protein in 10 mM HEPES acid, 10 mM HEPES salt, pH 7.4, 100 mM NaCl, 3 mM MgCl2, 10 μM GDP and 2 μg/ml saponin. Total reaction volume was 200 μl. Reactions were terminated by rapid filtration through Unifilter-96 GF/B plates (Perkin Elmer, Massachusetts, USA) using a 96-well filtermate universal harvester. Filters were washed 6 times with ice-cold 10 mM NaH2PO4/10 mM Na2HPO4, pH 7.4. Filters were then air-dried, and 40 μl of liquid scintillation cocktail (Microscint-O) was added to each well. Membrane-bound radioactivity was counted in a Microplate Scintillation and Luminescence Counter from Perkin Elmer.
Data Analysis
The concentration-response curves of representative compounds of the present invention—obtained in the presence of EC20 of mGluR2 agonist glutamate to determine positive allosteric modulation (PAM)—were generated using the Lexis software interface (developed at J&J). Data were calculated as % of the control glutamate response, defined as the maximal response that is generated upon addition of glutamate alone. Sigmoid concentration-response curves plotting these percentages versus the log concentration of the test compound were analyzed using non-linear regression analysis. The concentration producing half-maximal effect is then calculated as EC50.
The pEC50 values below were calculated as the −log EC50, when the EC50 is expressed in M. Emax is defined as relative maximal effect (i.e. maximal % effect relative to the control glutamate response).
Table E below shows the pharmacological data obtained for compounds of Formula (I-B) and current pharmacological data obtained for compounds of Formulae (I) and (I-A).
All compounds were tested in presence of mGluR2 agonist glutamate at a predetermined EC20 concentration, to determine positive allosteric modulation. pEC50 values were calculated from a concentration-response experiment of at least 8 concentrations.

General
Preparation of Test Compounds and Solutions
Test compounds were administered using an optimal fluid volume to body fluid ratio. Test compounds were administered to mice in a volume of 0.01 mL/g of body weight (White H. S., et al., General Principles: Experimental selection, quantification, and evaluation of antiepileptic drugs, in Antiepileptic Drugs, Fourth Edition, R. H. Levy, R. H. Mattson, and B. S. Meldrum, Editors. 1995, Raven Press, Ltd.: New York, pp. 99-110). For subcutaneous (s.c.) administration, the test compounds were administered into a loose fold of skin along the back of the animal except compound 6-b, which was administered orally (p.o). For each of the tests performed on the test compounds (except on compound 6-b), final compound concentrations were administered as aqueous solution in 20% Hp-β-CD. For compound 6-b, a 40% Hp-β-CD stock solution was first prepared and utilized for formulating compound 6-b at the desired concentrations for testing via the oral route; final compound concentrations were administered as suspensions in 20% Hp-β-CD. A 20% Hp-β-CD solution was used for the vehicle groups.
For LY-404039, final compound concentrations were administered as a saline solution s.c.
For compound CAS 1092453-15-0, final compound concentrations were administered in 10% Hp-β-CD (+NaCl) vehicle following dissolution.
Final levetiracetam concentrations were administered in a 0.5% methylcellulose (MC) aqueous solution administered by intraperitoneal (i.p.) injection.
Critical Reagents
a) Vehicle Solutions
0.5% Methylcellulose (MC)
40% Hydroxypropyl-β-cyclodextrin (Hp-β-CD) stock solution
b) Miscellaneous Solutions
Tetracaine (0.5% solution w/v) was added dropwise from a plastic dropper bottle onto the eyes of all animals that would subsequently receive electrical stimulation via corneal electrodes.
Animals and Animal Husbandry
Adult male CF No 1 albino mice (26-35 g) were obtained from Charles River, Portage, Mich. The animals were maintained on an adequate diet (Prolab RMH 3000) and allowed free access to food and water, except during the short time they were removed from their cage for testing. Animals newly received in the laboratory were allowed sufficient time to correct for possible food and water restriction incurred during transit before being employed in testing. All mice were housed in plastic cages in specially constructed rooms with controlled humidity, exchange of air and controlled lighting (12 hours on-12 hours off). The animals were housed, fed, and handled in a manner consistent with the recommendations in the National Council Publication, “Guide for the Care and Use of Laboratory Animals”.
Minimal Motor Impairment (MMI)
Acute MMI was assessed by a combination of direct observations of the animal for overt symptoms of the animal's neurological or muscular function. In mice, the rotarod procedure was used to disclose minimal muscular or neurological impairment. When a mouse is placed on a rod that rotates at a speed of 6 rpm, the animal can maintain its equilibrium for long periods of time. The animal was considered toxic if it fell off this rotating rod three times during a 1 min period.
Determination of Median Effective and Toxic Doses (ED50 and TD50)
In the determination of an ED50 or TD50 for each test compound, the first dose administered is usually the same dose as that used in a successful TPE determination.
If the initial dose employed was effective or toxic in more than 50% of animals, the next dose would be one-half that of the initial dose; if the initial dose was effective or toxic in less than 50% of animals, the following dose would be twice that of the initial dose. Third and fourth doses were selected to produce an evenly spaced dose response line. There should be a minimum of 4 points either including or lying between 0 and 100%.
TPE Determination
Groups of generally four animals each were administered test compounds and each group was tested at one of five time points: 0.25, 0.5, 1, 2, or 4 h post-treatment (White et al. 1995). TPE was determined using the 6 Hz (32 mA) assay. The time (0.25, 0.5, 1, 2, or 4 h post-treatment) at which maximal protection was observed was considered the Time of Peak Effect (TPE).
At the TPE determined for this study, or determined previously, compounds were tested in the 6 Hz assay (32 and/or 44 mA), across several doses and comprising doses that elicited little or no protection to full protection.
An ED50 and 95% confidence interval (C.I.) were calculated using Probit analysis on a computer program provided in the laboratory (Finney “Probit Analysis” 34d Ed 1971, London: Cambridge University Press).
Serum Collection for pK/pD Analysis
In various tests, animals were sacrificed following testing, and trunk blood and/or brain tissue (whole brains) was collected for quantification of drug levels. Immediately after testing, animals were decapitated and trunk blood was collected into a BD Vacutainer® tube containing K2EDTA and chilled on ice until centrifugation. Following centrifugation (13000-18000 rpm, 5-7 min), the plasma was removed and transferred to a labeled microcentrifuge tube and stored at −80° C. For brain tissue collection, brains were removed immediately following decapitation and flash frozen. The frozen sample was placed in a labeled centrifuge tube and stored at −80° C.
6 Hz Psychomotor Seizure Test in Mice
The 6 Hz seizure test is used as a model of pharmacoresistant limbic seizures. The 6 Hz seizure displays a resistance to phenytoin, carbamazepine, lamotrigine, and topiramate (Barton et al. “Pharmacological characterization of the 6 Hz psychomotor seizure model of partial epilepsy” Epilepsy Research 2001, Vol. 47, pp. 217-222).
Method for 6 Hz Psychomotor Seizure Test
Focal seizures were induced in mice via corneal stimulation (6 Hz, 0.2 msec rectangular pulse, 3 sec duration; Barton et al. 2001). Mice were tested at either 32 mA or 44 mA. Prior to stimulation, drops of 0.5% tetracaine were applied to each eye. The seizures that arise from corneal stimulation in this assay are characterized by a minimal clonic phase followed by stereotyped automatistic behaviors including stun, forelimb clonus, twitching of the vibrissae, and Straub-tail. Animals not displaying these behaviors were considered protected.
1.1. Combination Study with Co. No. 1, Co. No. 2 and Levetiracetam
First, each compound was tested individually at a dose that displayed minimal activity in the 6 Hz 44 mA test at each compound's TPE. When the mGluR2 PAM compounds and levetiracetam were administered in combination (same dose and time-point as individual tests) nearly complete protection was observed in the 6 Hz 44 mA test (Table 2). In addition to recording the efficacy and toxicity data for these compounds alone or in combination, both plasma and brain samples were collected from each of the groups for pharmacokinetic/pharmacokinetic analysis. No pharmacokinetic interaction was observed based on compound levels in the plasma and brain samples (data not shown). In summary, compounds 1 and 2 displayed positive pharmacodynamic interaction with levetiracetam in the 6 Hz model that does not appear to be due to pharmacokinetic interaction, and without increasing motor impairment (Tables 2, 2a, 2b). The effect of 1 dose of Compound 2 was also tested on the dose-response of LEV. As shown in Table 3, there was a ˜200-fold shift in the ED50 of LEV compared to when LEV was tested alone. LEV seemed to increase the potency of Co No. 2 slightly (Table 3).
1.2. Isobolographic Analysis of Interactions Between Co. No. 1 and Levetiracetam in the 6 Hz Seizure Model
Isobolographic studies were conducted for the combined administration of Co. No. 1 with LEV in the 6 Hz (44 mA) assay. Studies were conducted according to previously described methods (Madsen et al. 2011). Initial ED50 values were determined for both Co. No. 1 and LEV and used to calculate theoretical ED50 (±standard error of the mean, SEM) values for three fixed dose ratio combinations (LEV:Co. No. 1): 1:3, 1:1, and 3:1. Doses used were proportional to calculated ED50 values. For example, the dose ratio used for the 1:1 paradigm was based on 0.5×ED50 for LEV and 0.5×ED50 for Co. No. 1. Similarly, the 1:3 paradigm used 0.25×ED50 for LEV and 0.75×ED50 for Co. No. 1. The 3:1 dose ratio used 0.75×ED50 LEV and 0.25×ED50 for Co. No. 1. Experimental treatment doses (see Table 4) were based on theoretical values and adjusted according to observed effects. Experimentally determined ED50 (±SEM) values for each fixed dose-ratio combination were compared to the theoretical values (t-test) for statistical purposes. The dose ratio was determined to be supra-additive (synergistic) if the experimentally-determined ED50 value was significantly lower than the theoretical ED50. Subsequently, the experimental combined doses were determined for the same paradigms in the 6 Hz seizure test (Table 4 below). The isobolographic study with compound 1 and levetiracetam in the 6 Hz model demonstrates a significant synergistic pharmacodynamic interaction at all dose ratios evaluated and corresponds closely with compound 1 plasma levels. Furthermore, no motor impairment was observed at any of the dose ratios evaluated suggesting that the synergistic pharmacodynamics interaction does not produce increased motor toxicity.
1.3. Mouse Corneal Kindling Model and Studies with Compound 1
Mice were kindled electrically with 3 second, 3 mA, 60 Hz stimulus, twice daily using corneal electrodes until a criterion of 5 consecutive Stage 5 seizures as defined by Racine (Racine “Modification of seizure activity by electrical stimulation” II. motor seizure” Electroenceph Clin Neurophysiol 1972, 32, pp. 281-294). After the mice reached a stable kindled state, the test compound or vehicle was administered and, at the previously determined TPE, each animal was given the electrical stimulus indicated above. Following stimulation, the animals were observed for the presence or absence of the seizure activity scored on the Racine scale (0-5) with 5 representing the highest stage rearing and falling. One dose of LEV and two doses of Co. No. 1 were tested individually and in combination against corneal kindled seizures. Combination of compound 1 with levetiracetam in this model suggests a positive pharmacodynamics interaction (Table 5 below).
A summary of the data for the compounds tested alone is presented in Table 1 and additional results of studies performed according to example 1 are listed in Tables 2-5 below.
The isobolographic analysis (
2.1. Combination Study with Co. No. 25-a and Levetiracetam
Independent dose-response studies were performed in the 6 Hz 44 mA test for both compounds to determine ED50 values at the TPE of 1 h i.p. for levetiracetam and 1 h s.c. for Co. No. 25-a. The ED50 value for Co. No. 25-a was 25.9 mg/kg and for levetiracetam the value was estimated to be approximately 345 mg/kg. The dose-response for levetiracetam was repeated with co-administration of 10 mg/kg Co. No. 25-a (a dose of Co. No. 25-a that alone did not protect in the 6 Hz 44 mA model). The co-administration of 10 mg/kg Co. No. 25-a produced an ED50 in the levetiracetam dose-response of 4.9 mg/kg (˜70-fold lower compared with levetiracetam alone) and importantly yielded full protection in the 6 Hz 44 mA seizure model. These results are suggestive of a positive pharmacodynamic interaction in the 6 Hz seizure model between Co. No. 25-a and levetiracetam.
aThe time-to-peak effect in the 6 Hz 32 mA assay for Co. No. 25-a was determined to be 0.25 h (see Table 1).
bThe time-to-peak effect in the 6 Hz 44 mA assay for Co. No. 25-a was similar for 0.25 h and 1 h; results for 1 h confirmed the ED50 (95% CI) 25.9 (15.5-33.7) (see Table 1 and 6).
2.2. Combination Study with Co. No. 2-a and Levetiracetam
Dose-response studies were performed in the 6 Hz 32 mA and 44 mA tests (table 9 below) and in the combination test with levetiracetam (effect of Co. No. 2-a on the dose-response of LEV in tables 10a and effect of LEV on the dose-response of Co. No. 2-a in table 10b below) in the same manner as described for the studies with Co. No. 25-a and levetiracetam above.
a40 mg/kg - 6 out of 16 total (32 mA and 44 mA combined) with impairment. Dose selected for combination studies with LEV in 6 Hz (44 mA): Co. No. 2-a 10 mg/kg.
aCo. No. 2-a (s.c.) 10 mg/kg tested in combination with LEV (i.p.); Co. No. 2-a 10 mg/kg, not active when administered alone.
aLEV ED50 (presented separately) previously determined in 6 Hz (44 mA): 345 mg/kg.
bCo. No. 2-a (s.c.) 10 mg/kg tested in combination with LEV (i.p.); Co. No. 2-a 10 mg/kg, not active when administered alone.
At a dose of 10 mg/kg s.c., Co. No. 2-a increases the potency of LEV, leading to an approximate 35-fold shift in the ED50. This suggests a positive pharmacodynamic relationship (Table 10a). At a dose of 350 mg/kg i.p., LEV increases the potency of Co. No. 2-a, leading to an approximate 14-fold shift in the ED50. This suggests a positive pharmacodynamics relationship (Table 10b).
3.1. Combination Study with Co. No. 6-b and Levetiracetam
Independent dose-response studies were performed in the 6 Hz 44 mA test for both compounds to determine ED50 values at the TPE of 1 h i.p. for levetiracetam and 0.5 h p.o. for Co. No. 6-b. The ED50 value for Co. No. 6-b was 16.1 mg/kg and for levetiracetam the value was estimated to be approximately 345 mg/kg. The dose-response for levetiracetam was repeated with co-administration of 10 mg/kg Co. No. 6-b (a dose of Co. No. 6-b that alone did not protect in the 6 Hz 44 mA model). The co-administration of 10 mg/kg Co. No. 6-b produced an ED50 in the levetiracetam dose-response of 2.4 mg/kg (˜100-fold lower compared with levetiracetam alone) and importantly yielded full protection in the 6 Hz 44 mA seizure model. These results are suggestive of a positive pharmacodynamic interaction in the 6 Hz seizure model between Co. No. 6-b and levetiracetam.
The results of the studies performed with compound 6-b are listed in Tables 11-13 below.
3.1. Combination Study with LY404039 and Levetiracetam
LY-404039 was tested alone and in combination with levetiracetam according to the procedures already described hereinabove. The results of the studies performed with LY-404039 are listed in tables 14-15.
a40 mg/kg - 3 out of 16 total (32 mA and 44 mA combined) with impairment.
aLEV alone shown previously, confirmation doses performed in combination with Co. No. 2-a (see previous table above).
bLY404039 (s.c.) 5 mg/kg tested in combination with LEV (i.p.); LY404039 5 mg/kg was not active when administered alone.
At a dose of 5 mg/kg LY404039 increases the potency of LEV, leading to an approximate 27-fold shift in the ED50. This suggests a positive pharmacodynamic relationship.
CAS 1092453-15-0 was tested alone and in combination with levetiracetam according to the procedures already described hereinabove. The results of example 5 are listed in tables 16-17.
Low activity was observed at doses and time points tested. Greatest activity at 0.25-1 h in tested doses. Combination studies were performed using 20 mg/kg, s.c, 1 h TPE in the 6 Hz (44 mA) assay.
aAdditional LEV (low-dose) control groups were tested at 25 and 6.25 mg/kg (1/8 and 0/6 protected, respectively).
b[CAS 1092453-15-0] 20 mg/kg (s.c.; 1 h TPE) tested in combination with LEV (i.p.; 1 h TPE); [CAS 1092453-15-0] 20 mg/kg displayed low activity when administered alone (6 Hz, 32 mA), and it was not tested in 6 Hz (44 mA). This compound displayed an in vitro EC50 = 562 nM (Emax = 197%) when tested in the GTPγS assay described hereinbefore and no occupancy was observed in ex vivo experiments in rats.
The current data set indicates that mGlu2 PAM or agonist molecules have anticonvulsant activity in the 6 Hz animal model. Tested mGlu2 PAMs with EC50 potencies ≤150 nM (as determined in the [35S]GTPγS assay), appropriate PK parameters and brain penetration, showed activity in both the 32 and 44 mA 6 Hz paradigm. Furthermore, all the tested molecules showed synergistic effects with LEV. In contrast, molecule CAS 1092453-15-0, which was only weakly active (EC50 562 nM) in vitro, did not show activity in either of the 6 Hz tests, and also did not display synergy with LEV.
Importantly, the data indicate that, under conditions of comparable PK characteristics and appropriate brain penetration, the most potent mGlu2 PAMs, based on in vitro EC50 values, also appeared most potent in vivo, suggesting that in vitro and in vivo potency can be linked. Moreover, synergistic effects with LEV were consistently seen with mGlu2 PAM doses similar to the ED50 obtained in the 32 mA model or at least 2-fold lower as the ED50 determined in the 44 mA paradigm (i.e. a dose inactive in the 44 mA test when the molecules were tested alone).
Also for LY404039, the mGlu2/3 agonist, activity in both 6 Hz tests was seen and synergy was seen at a dose 3-fold lower than the ED50 determined in the 44 mA model, which was inactive when tested alone.
Based on the available preclinical data in the 6 Hz 44 mA model, it seems that combining a potent SV2A ligand and a potent mGlu2 PAM, leads to a decrease in the median effective dose or ED50 of the SV2A ligand, such as LEV, between 35 and 100-fold.
Thus, while not wishing to be bound by theory, it is suggested that positive allosteric modulator of metabotropic glutamatergic receptor subtype 2 (mGluR2 PAM) compounds, in particular mGluR2 PAM compounds having an EC50 potency of ≤150 nM (as determined in the [35S]GTPγS assay), wherein EC50 is the concentration producing half-maximal effect in a concentration-response curve obtained in the presence of EC20 of glutamate, and appropriate PK parameters and brain penetration, result in a synergistic combination with an SV2A ligand, in particular levetiracetam, at non-effective doses of one or both of compound (a) and compound (b) of the combination of the invention.
Thus, in a further embodiment, the positive allosteric modulator of metabotropic glutamatergic receptor subtype 2 (mGluR2 PAM) compound of the combination of the invention as defined herein is selected from an mGluR2 PAM compound having an EC50 potency of ≤150 nM (as determined in the [35S]GTPγS assay), wherein EC50 is the concentration producing half-maximal effect in a concentration-response curve obtained in the presence of EC20 of glutamate.
A) Dominant-Submissive Relations (DSR) in Rat In Vivo Assay
The DSR assay is divided into two models: Reduction of Dominant Behavior Model (RDBM) of mania and Reduction of Submissive Behavior Model (RSBM) of depression. The RDBM, wherein the dominant animals are treated with test compound, is predictive of the ability of the test compound to treat mania. The RSBM, wherein the submissive animals are treated with test compound, is predictive of the ability of the test compound to treat depression.
Male Sprague Dawley rats (140 to 160 g) from Charles River Laboratories Wilmington, Mass. are used in this assay. Shipments of rats are received at two-week intervals. Each shipment will go through five-day quarantine, one-week acclimation period and one-week selection process, followed by five-weeks of drug or vehicle treatment to those pairs selected.
Rats will be housed four per cage. Access to food will be restricted to one hour per day after testing on Monday through Thursday. After testing on Friday, rats will have free access to food until being fasted again on Sunday. At no time will the rats be deprived of water. The food deprivation periods used will have little effect on weight gain as the average weight of rats will be about 300 g by the end of the study. At the conclusion of experiment rats will be sacrificed by decapitation, the trunk blood and brains will be collected for in vitro experiments and drug concentration measurements.
The basic testing apparatus consisted of two chambers connected with a tunnel only large enough to allow one rat to pass through at a time. On the floor, at the mid-point of the tunnel will be a container of sweetened milk. This basic apparatus will be replicated, so that a total of four pairs of rats can be video tracked simultaneously. The camera can distinguish rats marked by different colors. Thus, the rats' heads will be colored for the purpose of video tracking, red in one cage and yellow in the other cage. Only one animal at a time can have comfortable access to the feeder, but both animals can drink milk during the five-minute daily session. During the five-minute daily sessions, time spent in the feeder zone by each rat will be recorded by the video tracking software and saved into a text file.
The test will begin with a random assignment of rats into pairs. Each member of a pair will be placed in an opposite chamber of the testing apparatus. The time spent in the feeder zone by each animal will be recorded. During the first week (five days) of testing the animals habituate to the new environment. Dominance will be assigned to the animal with the highest score during the second week of testing if three criteria are achieved. First, there must be a significant difference (two-tailed t-test, P<0.05) between the average daily drinking scores of both animals. Second, the dominant animal score must be at least 25% greater than the submissive animal's score. Finally, there must be no “reversals” during the pair selection week where the putative submissive rat out-scored its dominant partner on isolated occasions. Ideally there will be minimal reversals during the acclimation week as well. Only animal pairs that achieve these criteria will be continued in the study.
Significant differences between time spent on the feeder by dominant and submissive rats will be determined by ANOVA using GraphPad Prism software (GraphPad Software, Inc. San Diego, Calif.) followed by a two-tailed t-test (P<0.05). Comparisons will be made between treatment groups using normalized dominance level values in paired animals. The dominance level is a value that measures social relation between paired subjects. Dominance level (DL)=FTD−FTS where FTD is the feeder time of dominant rats and FTS is the feeder time of submissive rats. The normalization will be conducted according to the formula:
Dominance Level(week n in %)=(Dominance Level(week n))/(Dominance Level(week 2)
The statistical significance of the difference in dominance level between the control group (pairs of rats where both dominant and submissive animals will be treated with vehicle) and the treatment group (submissive rats will be treated with drug and dominant rats with vehicle) will be determined by ANOVA, followed by a t-test. The activity onset time value at 50% of response (AOT-50) and the minimum and maximum response to drug will be calculated based on the reduction of the dominance level value using non-linear regression analysis (GraphPad Software, Inc., San Diego, Calif.). The normalized DL values will be used for this calculation, where DL values for treatment weeks will be normalized as a percent of the second week (pretreatment) value of that pair according the above formula. In these settings the minimum of the response (DL) determines drug positive activity, corresponding to efficacy, since DL values will be reduced if the response to a drug is positive. In the case of the negative response to a drug (worsening of symptoms) DL values will be increased. If the drug does not have such activity the maximum of the response will not exceed 100%. Any maximal DL value significantly higher than control value (about 100%) indicates drug negative activity.
Levetiracetam and mGluR2 PAM/agonist compound (e.g. compounds 2, 2-a, 25-a, 6-b or LY-404039) will be evaluated in the rat RDBM according to the procedure described in more detail below.
Groups of dominant rats will be treated p.o. QD with levetiracetam 10 mg/kg and mGluR2 PAM/agonist compound at various concentrations from approximately 0.05 mg/kg (n≥3), at 0.5 mg/kg (n≥3), at 2.5 mg/kg (n≥3), at 5.0 mg/kg (n≥3) and at 50.0 mg/kg (n≥3). A vehicle control group of dominant rats will be treated with 0.5% methylcellulose (n≥3) and a second control group of dominant rats will be treated i.p. QD with sodium valproate at 30 mg/kg (n≥6 from 2 studies of n≥3 each).
All treatments will be administered approximately 1 hour prior to testing. All treatments will be started on Saturday after the second testing week (selection week). The levetiracetam and mGluR2 PAM/agonist compound will be administered orally (p.o.).
When dominant animals are treated with levetiracetam 10 mg/kg and mGluR2 PAM/agonist compound the difference between dominant and submissive rats will be lost after the first or second week of treatment depending on the dosage. Similarly, when dominant animals are treated with sodium valproate, the difference between dominant and submissive rats will also be lost after first week of treatment. The permissiveness of the dominant rats treated with levetiracetam and mGluR2 PAM/agonist compound or sodium valproate may be observed to increase. Thus the treated dominant rats will permit their submissive partners to increase their time on the feeder.
To compare different drug and dose effects the data will be normalized to the initial control week values. The strongest effect of levetiracetam and mGluR2 PAM/agonist compound combination will be observed where there is a significant difference in dominance level (DL) values between vehicle and combination treated rats starting in the second week and continuing through the treatment duration of 5 weeks. In comparison, animals (30 mg/kg) that will be treated with sodium valproate will consistently show a decreased dominance level after the second week of treatment with the effect increasing in the following weeks.
To estimate activity onset time (AOT), daily average values for feeder time of dominant and submissive animal pairs will be plotted and significant differences between these two groups will be calculated using the two-tail t-test.
To compare activity onset time (AOT) between different treatments the activity onset time will be estimated from the non-linear regression fit. The non-linear regression model will fit for each drug, combination and dose normalized daily DL values.
Effects of levetiracetam and mGluR2 PAM/agonist compound in the RDBM are expected to be dose dependent.
In this assay, the combination of levetiracetam and mGlu2 PAM/agonist compounds is expected to reduce dominant behavior indicating that the combination is active as an anti-manic.
B) Oral Tablets
As a specific example of an oral composition, 100 mg of a mGluR2 15 PAM/agonist compound is formulated with sufficiently finely divided lactose to provide a total amount of 580 to 590 mg to fill a size O hard gel capsule.
While the foregoing specification teaches the principles of the present invention, with examples provided for the purpose of illustration, it will be understood that the practice of the invention encompasses all of the usual variations, adaptations and/or modifications as come within the scope of the following claims and their equivalents.
