Abstract
Arylsulfonamides of 4-heteroaryl-piperidines, and their derivatives, are competitive and non-competitive inhibitors of the muscarinic acetylcholine receptor M5 (mAChR M5) and have utility in the treatment of psychiatric disorders such as substance-related misuse, substance-related disorder relapse, anxiety, depression, and psychosis.
Description
TECHNICAL FIELD

The present disclosure relates to compounds, compositions, and methods for treating disorders associated with muscarinic acetylcholine receptor subtype 5 dysfunction or disorders that benefit from inhibition of the muscarinic acetylcholine receptor sub type 5.


BACKGROUND

Substance-related disorders, e.g., opiate use disorder (OUD), alcohol use disorder (AUD), cocaine use disorder (CUD) and nicotine use disorder (NUD), are debilitating neuropsychiatric conditions that involve periods of compulsive drug use, followed by dependence and then repeated instances of relapse after periods of abstinence. Currently, OUD is a global epidemic. Prescription opioid analgesics are effective pain medications; however, the use of opioid analgesics is also associated with high risks of misuse, dependence, and overdose due to their strong rewarding effects. In addition, the vast majority of all estimated drug-related overdose deaths involve opioids, with nearly half of those attributed to prescription pain medications. There is no FDA-approved treatment for OUD.


Recent attention has focused on the M5 muscarinic acetylcholine receptor (M5 mAChR) in motivated behaviors, including drug self-administration, and thus inhibition of this receptor may represent an alternative strategy for the reduction or blockade of the reinforcing effects of multiple substances of abuse.


Of the five mAChR subtypes (M1M5) activated by acetylcholine (ACh), the M5 mAChR has very limited CNS expression, and is the only subtype expressed on dopamine neurons in the ventral midbrain, including the ventral tegmental area (VTA) and the substantia nigra pars compacta (SNc). VTA dopaminergic neurons project to the nucleus accumbens, also known as the canonical mesolimbic reward pathway. All substances of abuse, including opioids and stimulants, increase dopamine release in the nucleus accumbens and drug seeking behaviors. Due to its localization, the M5 receptor provides important control of midbrain dopaminergic neuronal activity under physiological conditions and after exposure to substances of abuse. Consistent with this supposition, increases in extracellular DA efflux in the nucleus accumbens induced by the μ-opioid agonist morphine were absent in M5 knockout [KO] mice. Moreover, M5 KO mice showed significantly reduced reinforcing effects of cocaine as well as opioid place preference. Additionally, severity of naloxone-induced morphine withdrawal symptoms were also reduced in the M5 KO mice. In contrast, the acute analgesic effects of morphine and the development of tolerance to these effects remained unaltered in the M5 KO mice relative to the control mice.


Thus, compounds possessing a more selective profile for individual mAChRs, such as M5, may offer an advantage in substance use disorders, as well as other neuropsychiatric disorders. For example, some studies indicate that the M5 mAChR subtype may play a therapeutic role in depression and anxiety; however, a lack of highly selective M5 antagonists has hindered the field.

The term “hydroxyl” or “hydroxy,” as used herein, means an —OH group.


The term “hydroxyalkyl,” as used herein, means at least one —OH group, is appended to the parent molecular moiety through an alkylene group, as defined herein.


The term “hydroxyfluoroalkyl,” as used herein, means at least one —OH group, is appended to the parent molecular moiety through a fluoroalkyl group, as defined herein.


Terms such as “alkyl,” “cycloalkyl,” “alkylene,” etc. may be preceded by a. designation indicating the number of atoms present in the group in a particular instance (e.g., “C1-4alkyl,” “C3-6cycloalkyl,” “C1-4alkylene”). These designations are used as generally understood by those skilled in the art. For example, the representation “C” followed by a subscripted number indicates the number of carbon atoms present in the group that follows. Thus, “C3alkyl” is an alkyl group with three carbon atoms (i.e., n-propyl, isopropyl). Where a range is given, as in “C1-4,” the members of the group that follows may have any number of carbon atoms falling within the recited range. A “C1-4alkyl,” for example, is an alkyl group having from 1 to 4 carbon atoms, however arranged (i.e., straight chain or branched).


The term “substituted” refers to a group that may be further substituted with one or more non-hydrogen substituent groups. Substituent groups include, but are not limited to, halogen, ═O (oxo), ═S (thioxo), cyano, nitro, fluoroalkyl, alkoxyfluoroalkyl, fluoroalkoxy, alkyl, alkenyl, alkynyl, haloalkyl, haloalkoxy, heteroalkyl, cycloalkyl, cycloalkenyl, atyl, heteroaryl, heterocycle, cycloalkylalkyl, heteroarylalkyl, aid lalkyl, hydroxy, hydroxyalkyl, alkoxy, alkoxyalkyl, alkylene, aryloxy, phenoxy, benzyloxy, amino, alkylamino, acylamino, aminoalkyl, arylamino, sulfonylamino, sulfinylamino, sulfonyl, alkylsulfonyl, arylsulfonyl, aminosulfonyl, sulfinyl, —COOH, ketone, amide, carbamate, and acyl.


For compounds described herein, groups and substituents thereof may be selected in accordance with permitted valence of the atoms and the substituents, such that the selections and substitutions result in a stable compound, e.g., which does not spontaneously undergo transformation such as by rearrangement, cyclization, elimination, etc.


The term “mAChR M5 receptor negative allosteric modulator” as used herein refers to an agent that binds to an allosteric site on the M5 receptor and decreases the affinity and/or efficacy of acetylcholine, e.g., a noncompetitive inhibitor.


The term “allosteric, site” as used herein refers to a ligand binding site that is topographically distinct from the orthosteric binding site.


The term “orthosteric site” as used herein refers to the primary binding site on a receptor that is recognized by the endogenous ligand or agonist for that receptor. For example, the orthosteric site in the mAChR M5 receptor is the site that acetylcholine binds to. Compounds of the instant invention display both competitive and noncompetitive modes of M5 inhibition


For the recitation of numeric ranges herein, each intervening number there between with the same degree of precision is explicitly contemplated. For example, for the range of 6-9, the numbers 7 and 8 are contemplated in addition to 6 and 9, and for the range 6.0-7.0, the number 6.0, 6.1, 6.2, 6.3, 6.1, 6.5, 6.6, 6.7, 6.8, 6.9, and 7.0 are explicitly contemplated.


2. Compounds

In one aspect, the invention provides compounds of formula (I), wherein G1, G2, L1, X, R5, m, and n are as defined herein.


Unsubstituted or substituted rings (i.e., optionally substituted) such as aryl, heteroaryl, etc, are composed of both a ring system and the ring system's optional substituents. Accordingly, the ring system may be defined independently of its substituents, such that redefining only the ring system leaves any previous optional substituents present. For example, a 5- to 12-membered heteroaryl with optional substituents may be further defined by specifying the ring system of the 5- to 12-membered heteroaryl is a 5- to 6-membered heteroaryl (i,e., 5- to 6-membered heteroaryl ring system), in which case the optional substituents of the 5- to 12-membered heteroaryl are still present on the 5- to 6-membered heteroaryl, unless otherwise expressly indicated.


In the following, embodiments of the invention are disclosed. The first embodiment is denoted E1, the second embodiment is denoted E1.1 and so forth.

Similarly, when a pure geometric isomer of a compound is required, it can be obtained by carrying out one of the above procedures using a pure geometric isomer as a starting material, or by resolution of a mixture of the geometric isomers of the compound or intermediates using a standard procedure such as chromatographic separation.


It can be appreciated that the synthetic schemes and specific examples as described are illustrative and are not to be read as limiting the scope of the invention as it is defined in the appended claims. All alternatives, modifications, and equivalents of the synthetic methods and. specific examples are included within the scope of the claims.


3. Pharmaceutical Compositions

The compounds of the invention may be incorporated into pharmaceutical compositions suitable for administration to a subject (such as a patient, which may be a human or non-human). The compounds of the invention may also be provided as formulations, such as spray-dried dispersion formulations.


The pharmaceutical compositions may include a “therapeutically effective amount” or a “prophylactically effective amount” of the agent. A “therapeutically effective amount” refers to an amount effective, at single or multiple dosages and for periods of time necessary, to achieve the desired therapeutic result. A therapeutically effective amount of the composition may be determined by a person skilled in the art and may vary according to factors such as the disease state, age, sex, and weight of the individual, and the ability of the composition to elicit a desired response in the individual. A therapeutically effective amount is also one in which any toxic or detrimental effects of a compound of the invention (e.g., a compound of formula. (I) or a pharmaceutically acceptable salt thereof) are outweighed by the therapeutically beneficial effects. A “prophylactically effective amount” refers to an amount effective, at dosages and for periods of time necessary, to achieve the desired prophylactic result. Typically, since a prophylactic dose is used in subjects prior to or at an earlier stage of disease, the prophylactically effective amount mayl be less than the therapeutically effective amount.


The pharmaceutical compositions may include pharmaceutically acceptable carriers. The term “pharmaceutically acceptable carrier,” as used herein, means a non-toxic, inert solid, semi-solid or liquid filler, diluent, encapsulating material or formulation auxiliary of any type.

In some embodiments, the present disclosure provides a method for preventing and/or treating substance-related disorders, comprising administering to a patient in need thereof an effective amount of a compound or composition of the present disclosure. As designated by the DSM-V, substance-related disorders comprise 10 separate classes of drugs: alcohol; caffeine; cannabis; hallucinogens (with separate categories for phencyclidine [or similarly acting arylcyclohexylamines] and other hallucinogens); inhalants; opioids; sedatives, hypnotics, and anxiolytics; stimulants (amphetamine-type substances, cocaine, and other stimulants); tobacco; and other (or unknown) substances. These 10 classes are not hilly distinct. All drugs that are taken in excess share a common direct activation of the mesolimbic dopaminergic reward pathway that is involved in the reinforcement of drug seeking behaviors and substance abuse, Under conditions of excessive intake of all drugs, there is an intense and direct activation of this reward pathway that can result in the neglect of normal activities. Although the pharmacological mechanisms by which each class of drugs produces reward are different, drugs of abuse typically activate this reward pathway resulting in feelings of pleasure, often referred to as a “high.” As previously described in the DSM-IV, substance use disorders (SUDS) are now encompassed as part of a broader class of disorders defined in the DSM-V under substance-related disorders, that are “related to the taking of a drug of abuse (including alcohol)”. The major or minor substance-related disorders include substance use disorders, substance-induced disorders, alcohol use disorder, other alcohol-induced disorders, unspecified alcohol-related disorder, caffeine-related disorders, other caffeine-induced disorders, unspecified caffeine-related disorder, cannabis-related disorders, cannabis use disorder, other cannabis-induced disorders, unspecified cannabis-related disorder, hallucinogen-related disorders, phencyclidine use disorder, other hallucinogen use disorder, hallucinogen persisting perception disorder, other phencyclidine-induced disorders, other hallucinogen-induced disorders, unspecified phencyclidine-related disorder, unspecified hallucinogen-related disorder, inhalant-related disorders, inhalant use disorder, other inhalant-induced disorders, unspecified inhalant-related disorder, opioid-related disorders, opioid use disorder, other opioid-induced disorders, unspecified opioid-related disorder, sedative-, hypnotic-, or anxiolytic-related disorders, sedative, hypnotic, or anxiolytic use disorder, other sedative-, hypnotic-, or anxiolytic-induced disorders, unspecified sedative-, hypnotic-, or anxiolytic-related disorder, stimulant-related. disorders, stimulant use disorder, other stimulant-induced disorders, unspecified stimulant-related disorder, tobacco-related disorders, tobacco use disorder, other tobacco-induced disorders, unspecified tobacco-related disorder, nicotine use disorder, other (or unknown) substance-related disorders, other (or unknown) substance use disorder, other (or unknown) substance-induced disorders, unspecified other (or unknown) substance-related disorder, non-substance-related disorders, gambling disorder. The skilled artisan will recognize that there are alternative nomenclatures, nosologies and classification systems for mental disorders, and that these systems evolve with medical and scientific progress. Thus, the term “substance-related disorders” is intended to include like disorders that are described in other diagnostic sources.


In some embodiments, the present disclosure provides a method for treating depressive disorders, comprising administering to a patient in need thereof an effective amount of a compound or composition of the present disclosure. The fifth edition of the Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders (DSM-V) (2013, American Psychiatric Association, Washington D.C.) provides a diagnostic tool for “Depressive Disorders” including disorders that share features of the presence of sad, empty, or irritable mood, accompanied by somatic and cognitive changes that significantly affect the individual's capacity to function, Differentiation of different subtypes of depressive disorders is based on the magnitude of duration, timing, or presumed etiology. In contrast with the DSM-IV, “Depressive Disorders” have been separated from “Bipolar and Related Disorders.” The major depressive disorder subtypes include disruptive mood dysregulation disorder, major depressive disorder, persistent depressive disorder (dysthymia), premenstrual dysphoric disorder, substance/medication-induced depressive disorder, depressive disorder due to another medical condition, other specified depressive disorder, unspecified depressive disorder, specifiers for depressive disorders. The. skilled artisan will recognize that there are alternative nomenclatures, nosologies and classification systems for mental disorders, and that these systems evolve with medical and scientific progress. Thus the term “depressive disorders” is intended to include like disorders that are described in other diagnostic sources.


In some embodiments, the present disclosure provides a method for treating anxiety disorders, comprising administering to a patient in need thereof an effective amount of a compound or composition of the present disclosure. The fifth edition of the Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders (DSM-V) (2013, American Psychiatric Association, Washington D.C.) provides a diagnostic tool for anxiety disorders including disorders that share features of excessive fear and anxiety and related behavioral disturbances. Panic attacks feature prominently within the anxiety disorders as a type of fear response. Panic attacks are not limited to anxiety disorders but rather can be observed in other mental disorders. The major anxiety disorder subtypes include separation anxiety disorder, selective mutism, specific phobia, social anxiety disorder (social phobia), panic disorder, panic attack specifier, agoraphobia, generalized anxiety disorder, substance/medication-induced anxiety disorder, anxiety disorder due to another medical condition, other specified anxiety disorder, unspecified anxiety disorder. The skilled artisan will recognize that there are alternative nomenclatures, nosologies and classification systems for mental disorders, and that these systems evolve with medical and scientific progress. Thus the term “anxiety disorders” is intended to include like disorders that are described in other diagnostic sources.


In some embodiments, the present disclosure provides a method for treating schizophrenia or psychosis, comprising administering to a patient in need thereof an effective amount of a compound or composition of the present disclosure. Particular schizophrenia or psychosis pathologies are paranoid, disorganized, catatonic or undifferentiated schizophrenia and substance-induced psychotic disorder. DSM-IV-TR provides a diagnostic tool that, includes paranoid, disorganized, catatonic, undifferentiated or residual schizophrenia, and substance-induced psychotic disorder. DSM-V eliminated the subtypes of schizophrenia, and instead includes a dimensional approach to rating severity for the core symptoms of schizophrenia, to capture the heterogeneity in symptom type and severity expressed across individuals with psychotic disorders. As used herein, the term “schizophrenia or psychosis” includes treatment of those mental disorders as described in DSM-IV-TR or DSM-V.

Biological Activity
Cell-Based Functional Assay of Muscarinic Acetylcholine Receptor Activity

All functional cell-based assays were performed essentially as previously described (Mario et al., Mol. Pharm. 2009, 75(3), 577-588; Brady et al., J. Pharm. & Exp. Ther. 2008, 327, 941-953). Initial, single point (10 μM) compound characterization was performed in stable Chinese Hamster Ovary (CHO) cell lines constitutively expressing human M5 receptors. These were plated at 15,000 cells per 20 μL per well in Greiner 384-well black-walled, TC-treated, clear-bottomed plates (Fisher) in Ham's F12 medium supplemented with 10% FBS and 20 mM HEPES. Cells were incubated overnight at 37° C. under 5% CO2. The following day, medium was exchanged with assay buffer (Hank's Balanced Salt Solution supplemented with 20 mM HEPES and 2.5 mM Probenecid, pH 7.4) leaving 20 μL of assay buffer in each well. This was followed by the addition of 20 μL of 2.3 μM of Fluo-4 AM (Invitrogen) in assay buffer (final concentration 1.15 μM). The cells were then incubated 50 minutes at 37° C. under 5% CO2. The assay buffer plus dye was then exchanged with fresh assay buffer leaving a volume of 20 μL in each well. Test compounds were diluted into assay buffer to a 2X (20 μM) concentration in 0.2% dimethylsulfoxide (DMSO) in columns 3-22 with matching DMSO concentration in columns 1, 2, 23, and 25; compounds were added to the assay for a final concentration of 10 μM and a final DMSO concentration of 0.1%. Acetylcholine (Sigma-Aldrich) was prepared to provide 5× concentrations of EC20, EC80, and ECmax in the triple-addition assay, providing a signal window to view agonism, potentiation, and inhibition of the acetylcholine response as well as a means to normalize to the maximum acetylcholine response.


Either an FDSS (Hamamatsu) or Panoptic (WaveFront Biosciences) kinetic imaging plate reader was used for assay execution and measurement of calcium flux. After establishing baseline fluorescence, test compounds (20 μL) were added to the cells using the reader's integrated pipettor and allowed to equilibrate for 140 seconds before addition of the EC20 concentration of acetylcholine (10 μL) along with vehicle in selected DMSO-only wells in the outer two columns . The EC80 concentration of acetylcholine (10 μL) was added 125 seconds after the EC20 addition along with ECmax concentration in the wells receiving vehicle in the second addition. The raw fluorescence data from each well was normalized to the corresponding initial fluorescence reading (static ratio). The maximum fluorescence value following each addition was determined and the minimum value within that same timeframe was subtracted for each well then normalized to the average of the ECffiax maximum-minimum response, providing a % AChmax value for each addition for each well. The single point values represent mean values determined within the ECsu addition timeframe obtained from at least three independent determinations performed in triplicate or greater (error bars represent +/−SEM) unless otherwise specified.


Further characterization of test compounds (compound potency and mAChR subtype-selectivity) was performed on the FDSS with calcium mobilization assays performed as previously described (Marlo et al., 2009; Brady et al., 2008) and in a format similar to that described above using the same reagents. CHO cells stably expressing hM1, hM2/Gqi5, hM3, hM4/Gqi5, hM5, rM1/Gqi5, rM3, rM4/Gqi5, or rM5 were plated in the manner described above. A ten-point concentration range of test compound was serial diluted in assay buffer to 2× final concentration and acetylcholine was diluted in assay buffer to 5× of the EC20 and EC80 concentrations, determined empirically and 5× maximal (2 mM final concentration) stock concentrations. FDSS protocols were carried out as described above; the static ratio was calculated and the minimum response subtracted from the maximum response within the timeframe of each addition. This max-min response was then normalized to the maximum acetylcholine response. Calculation of IC50 was performed using the percent maximum acetylcholine response for the EC80 addition through the Vortex and Studies modules of the Dotmatics data management software. Results are stored in the Dotrnatics database and an audit trail of any changes to their analysis is generated. Data shown represent mean values obtained from at least three independent determinations performed in triplicate or greater (error bars represent±SEM) unless otherwise specified.
